EliYah:
- Blessed be the name of Yahweh. Sounds like Brother Chuck is on the line. The household of people there at Brother Chuck's residence, I believe, Brother Buddy from Florida and Evelyn his wife are there, and Don and Jeannie Baco [phonetic], and Yohanan and Tahar are there, all great people of Yahweh I love very much.
- So we look forward to hearing from them. As soon as Kara gets off the line, we're going to pick that one up. All right. I believe we have Chuck on the line. Shabbat Shalom, brother. No, this is Marie Fagans.
Marie:
- Wrong person. This is Marie.
EliYah:
- All right. We've got two phone lines. The other one is Chuck, and this one is Marie Fagans. How are you doing?
Marie:
- I'm okay. [laughs] Shabbat Shalom, everybody.
EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom to you. How was your week?
Marie:
- It was okay. I seek special prayer for my move. It gets confusing. I know probably everybody has heard of Jerry Hellen [phonetic]. I know you have.
EliYah:
- Yeah.
Marie:
- He sent a message to me. I'm going to let the girls talk to you, then I'm going to come back with what he said.
EliYah:
- Okay. That will be fine.
Laura:
- Shabbat Shalom, Tom.
EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom. This is?
Laura:
- Laura.
EliYah:
- Laura, how are you doing today?
Laura:
- I'm feeling better.
EliYah:
- Good.
Laura:
- I just wanted to say Shabbat Shalom to everybody, 'cause we can't get on the internet, because I guess it's mainly my fault, because I was doing something on the internet, and I think I got a virus on there.
EliYah:
- Oh, boy.
Laura:
- Yeah, kind of my fault. If we do get on the chat room, my mom said it could give everybody else a virus, and I don't want to give anybody else a virus.
EliYah:
- If you come through the Java chat room, you can't give anybody else a virus. If you go into other chat clients, there's an outside very remote chance you could, but not very likely. As long as you're going through the Java chat room on EliYah.com/chat, and even in the other ones, too, you're not likely to give anybody a virus. You should be just fine.
Laura:
- Oh, that's good. I have a question, though. Is the broadcast messing up a little bit, because on ours it is. It's going in and out off and on. I was just wondering if it was just ours or everybody else's or what.
EliYah:
- I haven't had any complaints until here about 30 seconds ago.
Laura:
- Yeah, that's what I was talking about. I was like, I hope that's just our computer, 'cause our computer is messed up real bad. Here's the kids. They want to say Shabbat Shalom. Here's Kimberly.
Kimberly:
- Shabbat Shalom.
EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom, Kimberly. How are you?
Kimberly:
- Fine.
EliYah:
- Good. Do you live in the area?
Kimberly:
- Am I what?
EliYah:
- Where are you from?
Kimberly:
- Humphrey Elementary.
EliYah:
- From where?
Kimberly:
- Humphrey.
EliYah:
- Humphrey. Okay. That's in the great state of Arkansas, right?
Kimberly:
- Mm-hm.
EliYah:
- Okay. Do you want to share anything?
Kimberly.:
- No.
EliYah:
- All right. Well, good to hear from you.
Jasmine:
- Shabbat Shalom.
EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom to you. And is this Jasmine?
Jasmine:
- Uh-huh.
EliYah:
- How are you doing today?
Jasmine:
- Fine.
EliYah:
- Do you all have a song you want to share with us?
Jasmine:
- Me and Kimberly both does.
EliYah:
- Well, that sounds great. We're ready when you are.
Kimberly and Jasmine:
- [Music Ministry: "Oh, Let's Magnify Yahweh"]
EliYah:
- HalleluYah! Thank you very much for sharing that. It's a song we've liked for many years. Anything else you want to share?
Jasmine:
- My nana wants to say something.
EliYah:
- Okay.
Marie:
- All right.
EliYah:
- All right, you're back.
Marie:
- I'm back.
EliYah:
- So you're looking to moving to another part of Arkansas?
Marie:
- No, Texas, Texarkana, in that area.
EliYah:
- Okay.
Marie:
- There's a lot of confusion going on, because Michael's not going to be there until April.
EliYah:
- Until April, so that's almost another year, nine months.
Marie:
- Yeah, and I've been okay. I'm a strong person.
EliYah:
- Are you going to try to stay in the area you're at now until then or what?
Marie:
- No, I'm going to go ahead and move.
EliYah:
- Going to go ahead and go out there?
Marie:
- I got an email from Jerry. I went on there and talked to him, and he said at the end of his email--I'm breaking up, so I hope everybody can hear me. I'm a big crybaby.
- At the end of his email he says, "Just remember that everything that happens is not without reason, and Yahweh has a special reason for this move to take place now." So that helped out a whole lot.
EliYah:
- HalleluYah.
Marie:
- It makes my decision to go ahead and do it.
EliYah:
- We're looking for the fire and the cloud. As the children of Israel were led through the wilderness, so are we. If this is the direction He has for you, it's going to be a place of blessing. Just follow the cloud.
Marie:
- There were a lot of signs for me to go that way. First, Michael got told he could transfer there to Ford City, and Ford City is full of the good old boys that punished him a whole bunch in the prison that he was in, in that part of Arkansas.
- So he really didn't want to start being punished all over again by the same ones, and so my thought was Texarkana, 'cause we were there once before, and he got treated as a human being, not as an animal.
- For some reason, the Texas side, the people treat you a little bit better than Arkansas side people do.
EliYah:
- I see.
Marie:
- There was a whole bunch of things going on, and there really still is. I've got a daughter that says that if I leave and leave her without a babysitter, she'll never speak to me again.
EliYah:
- So she's not going to go with you?
Marie:
- That's Gavin and Jayden's mama.
EliYah:
- Mm-hm.
Marie:
- That was one of the dilemmas, because I don't want to leave him behind, but I have to because it's time to move on.
EliYah:
- Mm-hm.
Marie:
- I can't grow spiritually in what is going on here.
EliYah:
- Why don't we pray? Father Yahweh, in the name of your Son, Yahushua, the Anointed One, thank you, Father, for your direction, your leading in the lives of all of us.
- We ask, Father, that you would work out your perfect will in this situation and that you would not allow the family to be fragmented anymore than it already is and that you would cause your unity, your peace, and your love between everyone to be completely filled and manifested in all of them.
- Father, I ask that you would work a mighty work in their life and that you would direct them all to your perfect paths, Father Yahweh. Have mercy on each and every one of them, and bless them, and cause them, Father, to not lose the joy of your salvation.
- We pray, Father, that the father of the family would be able to be coming home soon. As soon as your will will permit, Father, let it be so.
- We pray that wherever anybody is led to go, Father, that, as we know and believe, all things will work out for the good for those that love you and are called according to your purpose. We pray, Father, that would continue to be such in this situation, and that the whole family will be strengthened by fellowship and the love of the brethren. In Yahushua's name we pray, amein.
Marie:
- Praise Yahweh. Thank you. I need that.
EliYah:
- Hang in there. You're going to be all right.
Marie:
- I know I'm supposed to call in and be joyful today.
EliYah:
- That's all right.
Marie:
- So sorry to everybody out there who's listening.
EliYah:
- That's okay. We know what to pray for.
Marie:
- Okay.
EliYah:
- All right. Yahweh be with you.
Marie:
- Shabbat Shalom.
EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom. All right, Sister Marie, good to hear from her. Sorry about her circumstances. Look, we all have trials, and she's had one for many years with her husband locked up for things he did before he was a believer.
- Hopefully, he has come to faith now, and he has been a very strong believer there in the prison for a number of years, that Yahweh will have mercy on him and let him be released soon. HalleluYah.
- I believe we have Brother Chuck on the line. Shabbat Shalom, brother.
Chuck:
- Shabbat Shalom. How are you doing?
EliYah:
- Doing very well. How about you?
Chuck:
- I'm doing real good.
EliYah:
- Glad to hear that. Are you going to tell us the news?
Chuck:
- Like I told you last night, I am one happy grandpa.
EliYah:
- All right.
Chuck:
- They had the baby the other night.
EliYah:
- Glad to hear that. Praise Yahweh.
Chuck:
- Praise Yahweh.
EliYah:
- And let me guess.
Chuck:
- Excuse me.
EliYah:
- Go ahead, tell us his name.
Chuck:
- Charles Edward Bevins, IV.
EliYah:
- Wow!
Chuck:
- There was a little debate there in the end.
- They were going to change, and name him something else, and I got kind of upset. They discussed it, and CJ told me that they looked at the baby yesterday in the hospital, and they said he looked just like me, and how can we call him anything else?
EliYah:
- Okay.
Chuck:
- And the other part that was pretty interesting--again, I told you last night--was the circumcision. I was at the Farmer's Market with the kids. When I come home, Angie told me that they were supposed to circumcise him that day or the next day.
- I got ahold of Jessica as soon as I could and explained to her the importance of having it done on the eighth day. I guess she agreed. But before I could get to the hospital, I guess the doctor had came in and was talking to her about it, and she said she wanted it done on the eighth day.
- He said, "Well, in the New Testament..." And she just cut him off and said, "I don't want to get into it. We're doing it on the eighth day, and that's it."
EliYah:
- [laughs] That's great.
Chuck:
- I was pretty happy about that.
EliYah:
- All right, halleluYah.
Chuck:
- We've kind of got a house full this weekend.
EliYah:
- I heard.
Chuck:
- They're all wanting me to pass the phone around and let them talk to you. Brother Don is here and, of course, Buddy. I think you told everyone.
- We were having audio problems when you were talking, so I didn't really catch what you were saying. I'm going to go in the other room and turn the sound down and give the phone to one of them. I'll be talking to you soon.
EliYah:
- All right, sounds good.
Chuck:
- I want to say Shabbat Shalom to everyone in the room, especially my daddy, who's listening. He tunes in every week.
EliYah:
- HalleluYah. Congratulations, grandpa and grandma, and mom and dad, too.
Chuck:
- All right. Here, I'm going to hand the phone to Don first.
EliYah:
- All right.
Chuck:
- All right.
Don:
- Shalom, brother.
EliYah:
- Shalom, Brother Don. How are you doing?
Don:
- Good, thanks. How's everything?
EliYah:
- We're doing great. How about you all?
Don:
- Oh, halleluYah, can't complain. Praise Yahweh.
EliYah:
- How's Joey doing?
Don:
- Joey's good.
EliYah:
- Good. I imagine he's getting big by now.
Don:
- Yeah, getting bigger.
EliYah:
- Uh-huh. How old is he now? How old is he now? Are you there?
Don:
- Yeah, we've got a little bit of a line mess-up here. I wanted to put on the line a little prayer request there. We were, a couple of weeks back, there was a young couple that came to our door and saw Joey and wanted to invite him to vacation Bible school. I said, "Hm, that's interesting."
- We invited them in for a chat, and we started sharing what we believe to be true, and we prayed for them real heavy after they left. We decided we were going to go and see what we could do with them. This past week, we've been going there.
- We went four days in a row. We didn't go last night, of course, but we went and pulled people aside that looked like they were interested in maybe hearing some truth.
- I had chats with them throughout the week. Joey got to learn a few Bible verses. Every time they said the other name, we coached him and replaced the false with true. It went pretty well.
- I just want you all to pray for that assembly. Maybe they'll hang Yahweh's name on the door for us.
EliYah:
- All right. That'll be a miracle and a wonderful thing.
Don:
- If any of them come out, it'll be halleluYah.
EliYah:
- Yeah, absolutely.
Don:
- Let me pass you to Brother Buddy here. I'm sure you'd like to hear from him.
EliYah:
- All right.
Don:
- Shalom to your home.
EliYah:
- Shalom to your home, as well. Definitely add them to the prayer list here.
Buddy:
- Shabbat Shalom, brother.
EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom. How are you doing?
Buddy:
- We're doing great. We've been on the road a little over a week now and traveling around, meeting people, and having a good time.
EliYah:
- Glad to hear that. Where all have you been traveling?
Buddy:
- We went to South Carolina and visited with Terry, visited with Ron and Patsy over in Columbia. Then we went over to Atlanta and visited with Sister Beth, and up in northern Georgia and visited some of Evelyn's family. Then we came to West Virginia.
EliYah:
- All right.
Buddy:
- Then we found out, when we got there, that they had changed the service this week, and some of the people we invited down was not going to be able to come, so we decided to go see them.
- We came up here in the mountains and met Brother Chuck and his family, just a great bunch of people up here. It's been a pleasure to meet him.
EliYah:
- HalleluYah. Brother Buddy here has really been a blessing for a number of years. He's agreed to travel or find someone for us to travel to baptize people in Yahushua's name. I would guess he probably baptize a couple dozen or more by now.
Buddy:
- Yes, at least. Yes, Yahweh has blessed us to be able to travel and to go and meet people, especially to baptize people.
EliYah:
- HalleluYah.
Buddy:
- Brother Leo Longhorn, up in Cleveland, is also taking care of that area up there now. When you call me or have someone call me, I have them call him in that area.
EliYah:
- Yeah, I think the person...
Buddy:
- I don't know if you know him or not. He's a great brother.
EliYah:
- Yeah, the person who actually did opening prayer for us today was baptized by Brother Leo and was very blessed by that whole thing. It's really been a wonderful thing to have you all there, and we just really appreciate your service to Yahweh in that.
Buddy:
- It's just been a pleasure knowing you, brother. It's been a great thing. Sorry that we're not able to get on here. We're usually having service at the time that you're on.
EliYah:
- That's okay. Ideally, we would all hopefully have local assemblies to go to, but for those that don't, that's what we're here for.
- Of course, there's no substitution for getting together right there physically, compared to an audio broadcast.
- It's filling a void, hopefully, and Yahweh's people are able to at least communicate with one another. Like we did earlier. We were able to pray for a woman who was going through some trials. We praise Yahweh for that. I've known Brother Buddy for maybe ten years or so.
Buddy:
- At least, uh-huh.
EliYah:
- Yeah. We visited him on our last trip to Florida earlier this year. It's sure nice to see you all again and glad to see that you're still traveling around and being a blessing. I'm sure you'll enjoy Chuck's company.
- We've visited him at least once, and he's been out to our Feast. That's great. HalleluYah.
Buddy:
- They have a beautiful place here, and we've really just enjoyed looking around. We're going tomorrow, Yahweh willing, up to Point Pleasant to meet a family known as the Clintons. I don't know if you know them or not. They're believers.
- Then Monday, we're supposed to go to North Carolina to meet Belinda and Javier, who we've just been in touch with them for the last month.
- I do want to ask that you have prayer. Remember the South Carolina assembly. They're in dire need of prayer now, and they will appreciate that, I know.
EliYah:
- All right, we've got that here on the prayer list. I'll add that, and we'll definitely pray before the close of the broadcast.
Buddy:
- Hug the family for us, and tell them we love them.
EliYah:
- All right. The same with us. Yahweh bless you and Evelyn and everyone that you're in touch with.
Buddy:
- All right, thank you very much. I'll give it back here to the sister.
EliYah:
- All right. Shabbat Shalom.
Tahar:
- Shabbat Shalom.
EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom. Is this Tahar?
Tahar:
- Yes, it is.
EliYah:
- How are you doing today?
Tahar:
- I'm doing pretty well. How are you?
EliYah:
- Doing great.
Tahar:
- Well, that's good.
EliYah:
- HalleluYah.
Tahar:
- Yeah, it's been a blessing. We came last night. Even though we don't live too far, it's just harder with gas and everything. We live about 25 minutes from Chuck. He invited us to spend the night, so we were really blessed getting to meet with everyone.
- It's nice, because the town we live in is very much different than where Chuck and Nancy live. We definitely don't know any fellowship down there, so it's a blessing we can come up here and be out away from everything.
EliYah:
- HalleluYah.
Tahar:
- Yahweh really blessed.
EliYah:
- Amein, that's great. How far are you from Chuck and Nancy?
Tahar:
- We're approximately 25 minutes. I don't know mileage-wise. I would say probably about 15-20 miles, I guess.
EliYah:
- I see.
Tahar:
- The town we live in, even though it's still a small town, it's a college town. Especially during the summertime, there's so much traffic. A lot of the roads are just single lane highways, so there's a ton of traffic and people.
- Unfortunately, the people are a lot different there. There's a lot of younger people that are really worldly. There's a lot of gothic stuff and things like that. It's much different. The climate is much different there.
- It's nice to come out here and be where it's kind of open and quiet. [laughs]
EliYah:
- HalleluYah.
Tahar:
- It's nice. How are Kelly and the children?
EliYah:
- Everyone is doing well.
Tahar:
- HalleluYah.
EliYah:
- And very blessed. We praise Yahweh. We're just doing our normal routine here, pretty much.
Tahar:
- Yeah.
EliYah:
- We took a little vacation a little over a week ago.
Tahar:
- Yeah, yeah, I knew you were away.
EliYah:
- Which we kind of needed. We may be taking another one, actually, out east. I don't know if you'd call it a vacation or not, but we're expecting my 90-year-old grandmother to pass any day now.
Tahar:
- Oh.
EliYah:
- Her and my grandfather have been married for 70 years.
Tahar:
- Wow!
EliYah:
- And he's 92.
Tahar:
- Oh, my goodness.
EliYah:
- He's strong as an ox still, but she's had Alzheimers now for several years.
Tahar:
- Wow.
EliYah:
- So we're anticipating a trip out there. If we get a chance, we'd like to come see you all.
Tahar:
- Oh, that would be so awesome! We'd be so blessed, very excited. Well, I'd like prayer for the lady I've been asking for prayer for, Bev, that I work with. She had the hysterectomy, and they found cancer in one of her nodes, one of her lymph nodes.
- They're doing treatment and things like that. I got to see her, and she seems to be holding up pretty well, but I just always feel bad when someone don't have a clue to look towards Yahweh. They just do the church thing.
- Prayer for her, and then my dad, I think you may remember last year we were talking to you about DNA testing, that my dad was trying to get us to do DNA testing.
EliYah:
- Mm-hm.
Tahar:
- Well, he had it done well over a year ago, and he's on this focus now. I guess they have him on an email thing or whatever where if there's a match to his DNA, they contact him.
- He had set up meeting this man. I guess there's a man that lives in Maryland that was born in Korea, and he's an exact match to my dad's DNA. Of course, he's thinking it's family.
- Well, my dad had planned this trip to go to Maryland. He was going to go to a family reunion this weekend. He cancelled everything, because he's not feeling well. That's not like my dad.
- He was supposed to go to the doctor yesterday, and he kinds of keeps himself from me. He won't tell me unless something is really, really serious. Just keep him in prayer, because he's not a believer yet.
- I've been having faith Yahweh is going to--He's used both Yohanan and I to speak into his life, and there's a lot of things he's thought about. Keep him in prayer that Yahweh would protect him, and that he would come to the knowledge of the truth.
- We really love him. He's, like, everybody's family.
EliYah:
- Well, he's definitely blessed you all, I know. We definitely will add him to our prayer list here.
Tahar:
- All right, thank you so much. It was a blessing talking with you. Shabbat Shalom to everybody in the room.
EliYah:
- Good to talk to you, as well.
Tahar:
- I'm going to give the phone to Chuck.
EliYah:
- All right. Shabbat Shalom to you.
Tahar:
- Shabbat Shalom.
EliYah:
- Brother Chuck, are you there? Grandpa?
Chuck:
- Hey.
EliYah:
- Are you there?
Chuck:
- Yeah, I'm here. I had headphones on, and she had to get to me.
EliYah:
- All right. So how are you doing? I'm sure you're still rejoicing. Are you holding the baby now or what?
Chuck:
- No, they're not back from the hospital. I guess they had a couple of errands.
EliYah:
- Okay.
Chuck:
- They had a couple of errands to make, stops or whatever, but they're on the way here.
EliYah:
- Those are some good pictures you took.
Chuck:
- They had to go by their house and get some stuff and what not.
EliYah:
- I see. Everything else going well? We're doing well here.
Chuck:
- I'm glad to hear that. I was trying to listen to you talk to Tahar. You said you might be coming by this way?
EliYah:
- If we are able to and we've got time, we'd like to come and see you all. We are anticipating any day now a trip out that day toward Pennsylvania, so we'll be actually in Canonsburg, which is probably not too far from you all, maybe four hours or so.
Chuck:
- Yeah. You're welcome to stop by. We'll put you up.
EliYah:
- All right.
Chuck:
- Nancy asked me, she wrote a little note here in front of me--you know she won't get on the phone--but she wrote here to pray for her. She's just overly taxed. Nancy's got too many irons in the fire and trying to do too much. She's all wore out and tired all the time and really getting frustrated, so she needs some prayer.
EliYah:
- All right, we will do that, add her to the list today. Everybody else okay? All the young ones doing well?
Chuck:
- Yeah, they're doing fine.
EliYah:
- Good. We look forward to seeing you all for the Feast coming up.
Chuck:
- Yeah, we really plan to go. Of course, I think that my dad and Sarah is going with us.
EliYah:
- We're looking forward to them, too. It was really nice to visit them last winter. That was a blessing. HalleluYah.
Chuck:
- We've talked about Don, and Jean, and Joey going down with us, too. They haven't made a commitment either way yet.
EliYah:
- All right.
Chuck:
- But they're contemplating it.
EliYah:
- That'd be great.
Chuck:
- Yeah. You know me. I'll be there with two cars and a trailer and a bunch of people.
EliYah:
- All right. That sounds good. Well, anything else?
Chuck:
- No. My minds going a million miles a minute, and I'm all confused. [laughs]
EliYah:
- No problem.
Chuck:
- I'll let you go, and it's Curtis' turn to call, I guess.
EliYah:
- All right.
Chuck:
- All right.
EliYah:
- May Yahweh bless you, brother, and everybody there. Good to hear from everyone. Shabbat Shalom from our home to yours.
Chuck:
- Nice talking to you, too. Shabbat Shalom to you. I'll probably call you during the week sometime.
EliYah:
- All-righty.
Chuck:
- All right, take care.
EliYah:
- Bye-bye.
Chuck:
- Bye.
EliYah:
- Brother Chuck from West Virginia. I believe we have both lines open now. We did have Brother Tommy who was on. I don't know what happened. I think he lost connection. If you'd like to give us a call, our phone lines are open. 417-683-3575 or 866-435-4924.
- We'd like to hear from you and say Shabbat Shalom, or if you just have a question about various scripture studies or whatever, just to comment. Even if you don't agree with me, that's fine, too.
- We like to hear from others and get some interaction going during the broadcast. HalleluYah.
- In the meantime, we'll go ahead and pick a song here from the library. This next one is called "Blessed is the Man Who Fears Yahweh." HalleluYah.
- [Music Ministry: "Blessed is the Man Who Fears Yahweh"]
EliYah:
- HalleluYah. Blessed be the name of Yahweh. I think we just lost line one. All right, Shabbat Shalom. I believe we have Brother Tommy on the line. How are you doing, brother?
Tommy:
- Shabbat Shalom, brother! How are you?
EliYah:
- Doing great. Good to hear your voice.
Tommy:
- I've been listening, but I haven't called in, but I do have a question today.
EliYah:
- Okay.
Tommy:
- Could you explain the Hebrew name Adonai and where that came from?
EliYah:
- All right. Actually, Adonai and adon are both in the Hebrew language. It's in the Hebrew text. It's a part of the Hebrew language. It's not a bad word. It just means Master.
- It's found in places, a lot of places in Ezekiel. For instance, where it says, "Thus says the Master Yahweh." Let's find one here. In Ezekiel, it's pretty common, like Ezekiel 2:4.
Ezekiel 2:4 - "For [they are] impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, `Thus says the Master YAHWEH.'- There at the tail end of the verse, if you would actually go into the Hebrew and look it up, it has Adonai Yahweh. The Master Yahweh. It is a legitimate Hebrew word. It does carry the meaning of Master. Adon is a shorter form of that. It's also found in scripture.
Tommy:
- I see. I was hearing a lot that they were saying that it means "my Lord," and I was kind of confused with that and the other meaning of that.
EliYah:
- Yeah, technically, Adonai would be "my Master," or they would say "my Lord." I don't like the word "Lord" too much, simply because it was the word chosen to replace the name of Yahweh. I say Master, but it does carry that meaning.
- It has a deeper meaning, a foundation kind of meaning to it. It's not really carried over in our language. It is a legitimate Hebrew word. There's nothing wrong with it, but it is the word used, once again, Adonai is what they use to replace the name Yahweh with. When they see the name Yahweh in the synagogue, they won't say Yahweh. They'll say Adonai.
- Of course, they ran into trouble there, because there are places in scripture, like I just read, that has Adonai Yahweh. What they do is they don't say Adonai Adonai; otherwise they sound like they're babbling.
- What they do in that case is, you'll notice in the Tetragrammaton, the Yod Heh Waw Heh, whenever Adonai is before the name Yahweh, they have the actual vowel points for the Hebrew word Elohim.
- So if it was just the name Yahweh by itself, they put the vowel points Adonai in there, so that when people see Yahweh, they say Adonai instead, but whenever they come across the name of Elohim, or the name of Adonai and then Yahweh following after it, then they don't want to say Adonai Adonai.
- They say Adonai, and then they put the vowel points for Elohim in between Yod Heh Waw Heh, so that they'll say Adonai Elohim.
- That's why, in many translations today, if you go back to Ezekiel 2:4, they'll actually have the Lord God there, even though it's technically the Master Yahweh.
- They put GOD in all capital letters so that you know GOD is a reference to the Tetragrammaton or the name Yahweh. But when it's all capital LORD, then that would be where the Tetragrammaton actually stands.
- They've got their little strange traditions in order to cover up traditions that don't make any sense, according to the text. Whenever Yahweh stands by itself, they'll put LORD, all capital letters. But whenever you see Master Yahweh, then rather than in the English translation saying Lord Lord, they'll say either Sovereign Lord or the Lord God.
- That's how they'll cover it. The one that's in all capitals is the one that's supposed to represent the name Yahweh.
- In their tradition, they even have to go to extreme lengths to avoid looking foolish when they do the translations.
Tommy:
- I find a lot of difficulty in losing all that excess baggage that I've carried from different denominations.
EliYah:
- Sometimes it's more difficult to unlearn error than it is just to learn truth.
Tommy:
- Right. This old dog learned some tricks, and it's hard to forget all that stuff.
EliYah:
- It takes time. Praise Yahweh, He has patience with us.
Tommy:
- Yes, He does have patience. Listen, it's been real nice talking to you. Say Shabbat Shalom to the brothers and the sisters, and I'll talk to you again sometime.
EliYah:
- All right, thanks for calling in, Tommy.
Tommy:
- All right. Bye-bye.
EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom.
Tommy:
- Bye.
EliYah:
- HalleluYah. Brother Tommy from Michigan. He came down and shared the Passover with us for the week. That was a blessing to meet him. We, hopefully, will see him again for Tabernacles. I forgot to ask him about that one. Hopefully, we'll see him.
- He got baptized in Yahushua's name and still listens to the broadcast. Always good to hear from brethren every once in awhile. HalleluYah.
- Looks like the phone lines are clear. We can still take a few calls, if you'd like to call in; otherwise, we'll just go ahead and take your prayer requests. We've had a few already that have come through. Seeking, one from Brother Frank, Nancy, Tahar, Charlie, and I think my daughter has picked up a few more.
- It looks like there are a few more, so we'll go ahead and add those to the list, as well.
- It looks like we do have a phone call. Brother Allen from Minnesota. He is line one. Welcome to the broadcast, Brother Allen.
Allen:
- Shabbat Shalom.
EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom.
Allen:
- Quick question on speaking in tongues. My wife claims to speak in prayer language. I don't have quite a good enough understanding, and I don't want to blaspheme against the Holy Spirit.
- I know there's verses in Acts that speaks of when the disciples were speaking to many people in different languages. I'll just leave it there, and I'll let you comment.
EliYah:
- All right. Well, I do believe in the gift of tongues. I believe it's a scriptural gift. Actually, Paul, in 1 Corinthians 14:20, gave us the reasoning that was found, actually, in the Torah for the gift. It's found in the prophets.
1Corinthians 14:20 - Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature.
1Corinthians 14:21 - In the law it is written: "With [men of] other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me," says YAHWEH.
1Corinthians 14:22 - Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe.- An interesting question arises out of this particular scripture. That is, we see that Paul is saying that tongues are for unbelievers. He's quoting Isaiah 28:11, where Yahweh is explaining that He's going to speak to the people of Jerusalem, the rulers of Jerusalem, with other tongues and other lips. And for all that, they will not hear Him.
1Corinthians 14:20 - Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature.- This is what tongues is all about, primarily, to show the giving of the Holy Spirit to the Jewish people who did not believe or understand or receive Yahushua the Messiah. He says:
1Corinthians 14:22 - Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe.
1Corinthians 14:23 - Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in [those who are] uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you are out of your mind?- Which is interesting, because didn't he just say the tongues were for the unbelievers? Yet, the unbelievers come in, see you speaking in tongues, and think you're crazy.
Allen:
- Okay. So let me see if I can follow you. Are you saying that tongues were given so that people could speak to other people of different languages?
EliYah:
- Precisely, and that was the intent. Go back to Isaiah 28:11, where it's being discussed, look at the context. He's talking about the people that were in Jerusalem, the Jewish people, so that it was a sign to them that this is refreshing. This is the Messiah.
- The Messiah is going to give you rest, but they would not hear it. There were some that day, obviously, 3,000 on the day of Pentecost did, but there were some who did not.
- The ones that generally did not were the rulers. For all that, they would not hear. Of course, the gift can be used--and I've even heard of people who did not know, for instance, Spanish, and they went into a Spanish congregation and were able to speak to people in their own language, having absolutely no knowledge of Spanish.
- To me, that would appear to be a very legitimate example of the gift of tongues. Some of what we see today, everybody in the whole assembly all speaking in tongues in some kind of emotional high or something, I'm not judging anybody. I just don't see that in the scriptures.
- In fact, when that was exhibiting itself, it seems to me that in 1 Corinthians 14, Paul was correcting that.
Allen:
- Okay, that's my understanding, as well. Okay, okay. Thank you very much. Shabbat Shalom.
EliYah:
- All right, thanks for calling in. Shabbat Shalom to you and your family.
Allen:
- Okay.
EliYah:
- Bye. All right, Brother Allen from Minnesota. The gift of tongues is a real big--I don't know how you'd put it--controversial question. If somebody really does have the Holy Spirit and this gift, who am I to judge? I don't have any doubt that there might be a counterfeit out there. Even those who do speak in tongues believe there is a counterfeit.
- We want to make sure we don't have the counterfeit, but that we do have the true gift, if we choose to manifest that. A few times, actually, I went on YouTube, just curious. There were a few people that were speaking in tongues there on YouTube.
- Their language did not appear to be any legitimate language--at least the ones that I saw. The times I have seen it--there was actually a couple of times--I could tell you at least one time we had a woman in our house who was a Pentecostal. She actually was a pastor of an assembly.
- This was many, many years ago, maybe 18 years ago. We prayed that if it was not the Spirit of Yahweh that it would not be able to manifest itself, because she had the guitar out, and we were singing, and she was claiming she could sing in the Spirit. In other words, she could sing in tongues.
- I had prayed, and Kelly had prayed, "If this is not your Spirit, Yahweh, that it would not be able to manifest itself." The entire time, she kept telling us, "Okay, I'm going to be singing now in the Spirit. I hope you it doesn't bother you." Whatever.
- And she never was able to. Whatever it was as she had as a person, apparently it was not of Yahweh. I'm not going to judge anybody else one way or the other, but in her case it appears they did not have Yahweh's Spirit. That was a false gift.
- We want to make sure that if we've got some kind of spirit that was not of Yahweh and some other religious experience, whether it be in a former church or whatever, we do pray, "Father, if this is not your Spirit, let it not manifest anymore." I believe Yahweh will take it away, if He chooses to do that, and we want it to be gone.
- If it's of Him, then we pray to Yahweh that it will remain. As far as individuals, not my job to judge any one person. I certainly don't want to find myself--some people would say, "If you claim that that's not of Yahweh, then that's blaspheming the Holy Spirit."
- I do not agree with that. I believe blaspheming the Holy Spirit is you know that is Yahweh's Spirit, no question about it. For instance, when Yahushua was doing the things He did, there's no way anybody could say it was anything but the Spirit of Yahweh.
- Men who had withered hands, new hands were growing. There's no way it could have been anything but Yahweh, and they knew it, but they blasphemed it anyway. That's what we've got to beware of.
- I believe we have another phone call, if I'm not mistaken. Do we? All right, we missed that one. It apparently someone calling from the broadcast. Anyway, we're going to pick up a song here from the library. I think we'll go and see if we can find a song here. "Consider the Lilies." Beautiful song here. I don't know who the singer is. I thought it might have been Alex, Katy, Jay and their family, but I'm not sure. Anyway, a beautiful song. HalleluYah.
- [Music Ministry: "Consider the Lilies"]
EliYah:
- HalleluYah. All right, we can go ahead and take prayer requests if you do have any prayer needs. We do have a list here already, but any further prayer requests, feel free to offer that and mention it in the chat room, and we'll be sure to offer up prayer to Yahweh on your behalf.
- This next song is called "I Love You Father Yahweh," and it's by Bill Rodgers.
- [Music Ministry: "I Love You Father Yahweh," "HalleluYah"]
EliYah:
- HalleluYah.
- [Music Ministry: "Lead Me to the River of Your Healing Waters"]
EliYah:
- HalleluYah. May Yahweh fill you with His Ruach HaKodesh, His Holy Spirit, as you go out forth into the work week once again and the remainder of this Shabbat. May your day be blessed. We love you all. Shabbat Shalom to your home.
