WARNING

Matthew 7:6 Words of Yahshua: “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.” (NKJV) This book and its teachings will not be accepted and appreciated by all, but I encourage you to read it none-the-less and ask the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) to teach you the truth. If you would like to respond to this work, I look forward to hearing from you. This warning came to me a long while ago when I was doing my research for this book and discovered so many distortions. I have done my best to be as accurate and clear on the issues as possible as I believe that I have heard them from the Father. I could not disobey the still, but urgent voice, telling me that these pearls are my harvest-field as mentioned in Matthew 13. Matthew 13:44-46 Words from Yahshua: “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.” (NKJV)

I had to share these precious truths (pearls) - which I believe has been kept from the body of Yahshua Messiach- because of the lies of Satan, the evil one.

Why I use the Original Names of (God) Yah 1. It is “The” name that cannot be translated.

2. God (Yah) has stated clearly in scripture that the name of

His Son can be found within His own name – therefore when His name is translated wrongly, this awesome truth, that is much more important than on the first glimpse, is lost.

3. The names of the evil one (Satan) are hidden in many of the

wrongly translated names.

4. God (Yah) in the scriptures has demanded that we should not use the names of other gods.

5. God (Yah) stated that the names of other gods used for His

Name, will be taken away out of our mouths. 6. God (Yah) stated that He will not return until the time that

we have learned to say Yahshua.

7. God (Yah) will destroy the names of all other gods.

8. God (Yah) was dissatisfied that the priests despised His Name.

9. God (Yah) was dissatisfied that the people profaned His

Holy Name.

10. God (Yah) honours us if we do not deny His name.

Exodus 23:21 “Beware of Him and obey His voice; do not provoke Him, for He will not pardon your transgressions; for MY NAME IS IN HIM.” (NKJV) Isaiah 42:8 I am YEHOVAH that is My Name; My esteem will I not give to another, neither my praise to idols. (HS) Psalm 68:4 Sing to God (Elohim), sing praises to His name: Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name YAH, and rejoice before Him. (NKJV) Exodus 23:13 “In all that I have said to you, be circumspect and make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth”. (NKJV) Hosea 2:17 For I will take from her mouth the names of the Baals, and they shall be remembered by their name no more. (NKJV) Matthew 23:39 …“for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord! (JEHOVAH)” (NKJV) Deuteronomy 12:3 “And you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and burn their wooden images with fire; you shall cut down the carved images of their gods and destroy their names from that place. (NKJV) Malachi 1:6 “A son honours his father and a servant his master: if then I be a Father, where is My honour? And if I am a Master, where is My reverence? Says the Lord of hosts to you priests who despise My name. Yet you say, ‘In which way have we despised Your name?'” (NKJV) Leviticus 20:3 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary and to profane my holy name. (KJV) Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door (portal), and no man can shut it: for thou has a little strength, and has kept my word, and hast not denied my name. (KJV)

Zephaniah 3:9 “For then I shall turn unto the peoples a clean lip, so that they all call on the Name of YHWH, to serve Him with one shoulder.” (HS)

MY MANDATE

When lying paralyzed in hospital, on Mother’s Day 8 May 2011, I did not know yet that a book would follow out of that difficult experience, which would continue for the next 4 years, and counting. The word Transverse Myelitis (TM) was so difficult that I could only remember it after hearing it several times, seen it a few times and wrote it out once. Only then, could I begin to discuss and articulate this unknown illness. I have been moved to write a second book about the marriage relationship as a result of the experiences I have had throughout the duration of this strange illness. In most cases, Transverse Myelitis has left its victims paralyzed and in a wheelchair for life, yet I have experienced a gradual and sure recovery. The Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) has pressed me to write down the things that my body has gone through and the mysteries YHWH showed me regarding the Body of Yahshua. The Lord lead me discover the similarities of the Hebrew Marriage Tradition and His own life. Therefore, in this book you will read about a wedding and a love story – actually about “The Ultimate Wedding and The Love Story of all ages”. Enjoy my road to restoration and the 12 Pearls that came out of this event. I would like you to keep in the back of your mind that it is my belief that my experiences during this time are to be a sign to the Bride! Each of the 12 pearls that I refer to consist of a unique message and insight and each relate to the 12 gates of the New Jerusalem that are made out of 12 Pearls.

The reference is normally in small font, and starts with either a G or H – referring to G for Greek and H for Hebrew: As an example: triumphing over G2358 (sung in honour of Bacchus)

Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, generally known as Strong's Concordance, is a concordance of the King James Bible(KJV) that was constructed under the direction of Dr. James Strong (1822–1894) and first published in 1890. Dr.Strong was Professor of exegetical theology at Drew Theological Seminary at the time. It is an exhaustive cross-reference of every word in the KJV back to the word in the original text.

4: Ruth – Saying yes with the Redeeming Bride

1

Introduction: Hephzivah means “I delight in her”, that is us, Yah’s beloved bride. (HS) It is now March 2015, at the launching of this book, we still await the coming of our Bridegroom, Yahshua. I pray that this book will help you to meet YHWH in His secret place so that you may become one with Him, in preparation for The Bridegroom. Four years ago in May 2011, I was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis, a disease that attacks the blood and bone marrow of one in a million people. I would say that I am now 90% recovered and these books are a 12 part series that disclose the story of how I am overcoming this supposedly “incurable” disease. It is the story of the selection of one in a million, to fulfil an assignment and to bring a Word to the Church, The Bride. Hephzivah is my second book. I truly never dreamed I would be an author and yet fourteen years ago my first book “He calls me … Sarah” was published. It is currently only available in Afrikaans, my home language, “Hy Noem My … Sara”. In that book I share how YHWH gently taught and changed me and as a result of this, my marriage was rescued from sure destruction. At that time of writing “Sarah” in 2001, I believed I had achieved my life’s goal as I was doing what I believed YHWH had assigned me to do and even more than that. To put it plainly, I was truly pleased with myself. A Women’s Ministry called “Sarah’s Daughters” developed from the first book as well as a monthly Christian Magazine called, “Sarah”, “Born to be a Princess”. My integrity would soon be put to the test though, as I was confronted with the exact lessons of honour and submission that I had been teaching in the book. After a two week roadshow in which we introduced the magazine “Sarah”, “Born to be a Princess”, my darling husband, for his own good reasons, requested that I put aside this “Sarah” work. If I tell you I

was devastated, it is an understatement. It was like my joy was being required of me. In a state of numb obedience, I chose to leave “Sarah” while I tried to convince myself that The Father was now calling me to teach by example, what He had asked me to write about in the book. Little did I know that my life was to become a living testimony to women all over the world, of what it is to truly be, an obedient “Sarah.” Now, 14 years later having lived the life of “Sarah”, I realize that it is my honour to continue doing so. As a result of this life choice, I have discovered the 12 New Pearls regarding marriage which I will now share with you. I highly treasure these 12 Pearls as they pronounce the relationship between Yahshua and His bride, which is the body of Christian believers. We are the bride, His darling, Hephzivah. In “Sarah” I wrote about the marriage between a man and a woman being a mystery and a foreshadowing of the mystery of Yahshua coming to fetch His Bride, His Church. The name Sarah, means Princess and the Princess is the prefiguring of the Queen, The Bride, Hephzivah, God’s beloved. In this book you will learn about The Old Testament Biblical feasts. The layout of the Tabernacle of Moses as well as the many other things that are shadows of what is to be found in Heaven. These types and shadows are also prophetic acts of things to come as well as confirmations of things that have already happened in the lifetime of Yahshua, that were prophesied about earlier on in the Old Testament scriptures. It is a fact that the world’s time table is not based on that of Yah’s time table, the Biblical calendar of seasons and Feasts given to the Hebrews by Moses. I have discovered that to truly understand the Words of Yahweh, we have to understand the Hebrew traditions and lifestyle of the time of Yahshua on earth, and also before He was born. The more I understand of these traditions, the more the Word of Yah bursts open before my very eyes into another dimension. The ancient

Hebrew picture alphabet is so rich in meaning, that it would take more than a lifetime to really understand the depth and width and length and breadth of the Word in its entirety, but that does not stop us from trying. The more I studied the ancient paths, the more I discovered how contaminated our belief systems and traditions have become. The names of the days of the week, also the names given to the months of the year and even the way in which we calculate the dates, times and the years is based on the ancient Sun Worship Religion. The names we have been taught to address our Beloved Father and Yah (God) by, also have their origins in the deities in Sun Worship religion. Now, I do not want to throw out the baby with the bath water, but we will have to search our hearts and make sure that we get rid of all the idols before we can even try to enter the secret place, the most Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle. Please note: Hephzibah is the English spelling and Hephzivah is the Hebrew spelling. Hephzi is the shortened form of the name. It is used in various forms throughout the book. “J” is also used in English Names which is “Y” in Hebrew names like Jeshurun and Yeshurun.

Fifth Gate

The Cup is Being Lifted Up Genesis 24: 54 Then they ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, … (Amp) The Jewish wedding tradition consists of two parts. The first is the betrothal which is similar to our engagement period prior to the actual wedding. In Judaism though, the betrothal is in fact a legal contract of engagement between the two parties, and consists of 8 parts. Being that the Jewish wedding is a type and shadow of our coming Bridegroom Yahshua, it is fair to say that the first 8 stages of the betrothal were depicted in the life of Yahshua Messiach during His life here on earth. The last 4 steps of the Jewish Wedding Ceremony can be expected to play out on His arrival to take His bride at the “second coming”, as will be explained in detail in the last 4 books (or chapters), depending whether you are reading the series of 12 separate books, or the book as a whole. In this chapter, which is the fifth pearl, we examine the fifth step in the Jewish wedding tradition. We see in Genesis 24 how the men lifted up the cup and drank out of it once the bride-price had been agreed upon so that they might seal the agreement and celebrate the coming wedding. At this stage the contract will be signed in the presence of two witnesses, as the bride has already said “yes” agreeing to the marriage. This cup is now lifted up in the right hand in order to put a seal on the transaction. A Seal on the Heart Songs 8:6 Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm. (NKJV)

The power of agreement is to be experienced in the act of taking communion, or lifting the cup. I remember wanting to take communion as often as I could when I lay paralyzed in hospital. Often I would wake up early in the morning and take communion before all the hospital staff arrived. I also had a dear friend of mine from the South of Namibia who visited me in hospital and she brought along everything we needed to take communion together. I will always remember how I felt the power of His presence when she laid her hands on my belly and prayed for my healing in His name. Yahshua had only one communion during His time here on earth and He said that He will only drink of this cup again when He comes again, and that will be in the New Kingdom at the marriage supper of the lamb, with us. Please note that there is a difference between Communion as in the Last Supper, and the breaking of bread. Breaking of bread took place daily when the new believers came together to pray and worship. Acts 2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. (KJV) That is exactly what happened when Yahshua broke bread with the two men from Emmaus and when the disciples were coming together on the first day of the week. Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. (KJV) This scripture is also used by many Churches to prove the doctrine of Sunday being the Sabbath day. They claim that apostles held communion on the first day, the Sunday, and therefore it is proof that the Sabbath changed from the seventh day to the first day. This is not true. They broke bread every day when they came together – this was the time assigned for the occasion of the daily breaking of bread.

The Last Supper is considered by most scholars to have been a Passover meal or Seder. However, Joseph Shulam has suggested that it may not have been the Seder but a se'udat-mitzvah. According to him this was held when a Rabbi and his students finished studying a tractate of the Talmud; they celebrated with a banquet of completion – like a graduation.

http://www.herealittletherealittle.net/index.cfm?page_name=Last-Supper-Passover-Meal

Also the Fast of the Firstborn, where gratitude is expressed for the saving of Israel's firstborn sons from the tenth plague, has been prescribed for the day before Pesach, Nisan 14, at least since Mishnaic times. When it is necessary to eat a se'udat-mitzvah, this takes precedence over a fast. With a modicum of foresight a rabbi can plan to complete a tractate on Nisan 14 and thus avoid having to fast; doing so is not construed as cheating, and in fact it has become the custom. Since Yahshua knew He was going to die, He may have regarded it as appropriate to complete His disciples' earthly "course of study" with a banquet. This solution would also resolve the perceived conflict between John and the Synoptic Gospels over the timing of the Last Supper. Covenant Meal Genesis 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the Most High God. The covenant meal is found throughout the scriptures. It is not a new concept, and it isn’t something new that Yahshua made up on the spot the night he was betrayed. The covenant meal is a Hebraic principle found throughout scripture, though not specifically

mentioned. This special meal becomes the means for reconciliation between people, and also between man and God. The first covenant meal mentioned in scripture is shared between Abram and Melchizedek in Genesis 14. After Abram rescues Lot, the Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of YHWH. They shared a meal. Later, Genesis 17 and 18 documents what happened following the promises made to Abraham and Sarah. Immediately following the circumcision (sign of the covenant) Abraham provided a covenant meal for the three ‘strangers’. But, is it the ‘last’ supper? Were there any covenant meals to follow? In John 21:12 Yahshua shares a meal with his disciples following His death and resurrection! He invites them to a breakfast of fish and bread on the shore of the Galilee. Why? We recall that Peter had denied Yahshua before the crucifixion, and after that incident he returned to his boat and his old job which was fishing. But, when the Messiach called to him he jumped out of his boat and swam to be with Him. It was a meal of reconciliation! Peter was restored to the ‘family’ as Yahshua made clear that he was forgiven for his denials before the execution. There he was commissioned to go and ‘feed the sheep’. This was a meal of personal reconciliation between Peter and Yahshua. It was also to sanctify Peter’s instructions to bring the lost sheep to be reconciled with the Father. What about the Cups at Passover? Matthew 26:39 And He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. (KJV)

Traditionally there are four cups used in the Passover meal. Each cup represents God’s promise to His people found in Exodus 6:6-7.

• The Cup of Sanctification: I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

• The Cup of Judgment: I will deliver you from their bondage. • The Cup of Redemption: I will also redeem you with an

outstretched arm. • The Cup of Praise: Then I will take you for my people.

This last and fourth cup is only poured at Passover Seders for Elijah. It is not shared, it is there waiting for Elijah to come to prepare the way for Yahshua’s second coming!

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Yahshua spoke of the cup. When Jesus crossed over the Brook Kedron and entered into the Garden of Gethsemane, He prayed three times in earnest to the Father. Each prayer was identical in word but increased in intensity and fervor. As the burdens of all creation weighed down upon Him, the Savior pleads: “Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me.” Yahshua asked the Father if He, meaning Yahshua, could avoid drinking the bitter cup, because the cup was designed for the adulterous wife, not the husband. Yahshua stands as the Bridegroom and the church symbolizes the bride. As in Hosea, a type of Yahshua, the Creator of the world not only offered to accept His adulterous wife back, but instead of her partaking of the bitter cup, He took her place and suffered the ordeal for her sin(s). And so the Messiach was arrested and taken before the Sanhedrin to be judged. They tried to intimidate Him and pressure a confession of guilt out of Him. They stripped Him of His clothing, and finally, sentenced to death, He died ignominiously. His death was finalized with his stomach being pierced and blood and water emitting forth. From the dregs of the bitter cup, all of us have the hope to once again live with our Father in Heaven, because the Bridegroom has

covered all of our sins, for we are His bride. He has purchased us and we have made a contract (covenant) with Him. He has returned to His Father to prepare a place near His Father’s abode and only the Father knows the exact time of His Son’s return. He’d just confirmed the covenant with a cup ‘in his own blood’ with the disciples shortly before. And now He wants to abandon the cup? What cup? The Kiddush Cup, or the Cup of Bitter Waters for the adulterous bride? When He became ‘sin’ for us, he also accepted that He must drink of the Cup of Bitter Waters to satisfy the test of the adulterous bride. How blessed are we that He drank it for us! (See Numbers 5 for the piece about the adulterous wife.) As we all know, when Yahshua was hanging from His execution stake He asked for something to drink and they gave Him vinegar. Although we may never have realized it, there is profound significance in the fact that Yahshua's last act was drinking vinegar before giving up His Spirit on the tree. Vinegar can be described as sour wine. A synonym for sour is bitter; therefore vinegar could be called BITTER WINE. This vinegar that Yahshua drank of was both symbolic of the BITTER waters that the adulteress would have to drink of at the temple, and the WINE of the fury of Yah found in the hand of Babylon the Great in Revelation. by Julia Glattfelt http://www.bulldozerfaith.com/whats-a-kiddush-cup "Therefore," Hebrew 9:15 says, "He is the mediator of a New Covenant." He only said the word ‘covenant’ once. "This cup is the blood of the New Covenant," 1 Corinthians 10:21 You cannot drink the CUP OF THE LORD and the CUP OF DEMONS; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons. (KJV) The Last Time Until He Returns

Matthew 26:27 – 28 And He took a cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, Drink of it, all of you; For this is My blood of the new covenant, which (ratifies the agreement) is being poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. (Amp) Matthew 26:29 I say to you I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when drink it with you new and of superior quality in My father’s kingdom. (Amp) We can only stand amazed at the incredible parallels between the Jewish tradition of drinking from “The Cup” to ratify the marriage agreement and what Yahshua said in Matthew 26 at the first communion service that He had with His disciples – just before His crucifixion – about not drinking it again. Furthermore, we also see that He had more “eating” and “breaking of bread” opportunities after His resurrection, however He did not drink from the cup of communion wine again before leaving for His seat at the right hand of the Father. So we see that on the night of the first communion Yahshua states that He will not drink out of “The Cup” again until we, His bride, drink it with Him in His Father’s Kingdom. We will see later in the book, in the chapter about the marriage feast, how the bride and bridegroom drink “The Cup” together. I only discovered recently that there were four different cups that were present for the Passover feast. Different sources have different names for these cups but I read in one blog that the fourth cup was the Cup of Restoration. This is exactly what we are busy with in this book, restoring our relationship with Yahshua, as it used to be in the Garden of Eden. It is said that Yahshua drank the three cups – see Acts 22:20 and 1 Corinthians 10:16 – and when He had to drink the fourth cup, He put it down and stated that He will only

drink it in the New Kingdom with all of us, most probably at the Marriage Supper. Isn’t that awesome? In addition, at that time the cup of the covenant was shared, and sealed the union between the bride and the groom with the drinking of wine. In doing so, the couple drank from a common cup. The cup was first given to the groom to sip, and then it was given to the bride. This cup, known as the cup of the covenant, is spoken of in Jeremiah, as it is written: Jeremiah 31:31-33 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which My covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord: but this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people. (KJV) Yahshua spoke of the cup of the New Covenant (Brit Hadashah) in Luke 22:20. And in like manner, He took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament or covenant (ratified) in My blood, which is shed (poured out) for you. (Amp) A Burden Upon Your Shoulders Isaiah 10:27 It shall come to pass in that day that this burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from you neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil. (NKJV) According to the “The Prophet’s Dictionary” by Paula A Price, PH.D, number 103, the “Hand of the Lord” is a prophetic expression of

that weight or burden of prophecy that sometimes becomes apparent as a pressure upon the shoulders, the upper back or around about the neck region when one receives an unction from the Father to prophecy. Other prophetic sensations can be felt in the region of the belly or a burning feeling in the chest. She points out that these strange sensations usually only go away after the prophet has delivered the Word of prophecy. I was so happy to receive this information at the time when I was trying to understand all the implications of this odd disease called Transverse Myelitis, because it helped me to see “The Hand of God” on my life in this dire situation. For example, I had a sharp pain upon my left shoulder that travelled all the way down my arm, and also around to my chest. At first I thought I was having a heart attack but then I began to understand that I was receiving a burden to prophecy. Similarly, a typical symptom of Transverse Myelitis is one of having a belt around your stomach region and this is also a typical signal to prophecy. The scripture in Isaiah 10:27 was an accurate description of the physical signs of what I was busy experiencing. I also began to understand that I would not be relieved of these signs until I was able to deliver the intended prophecy. What I did not know was that it would take another 4 years, and counting, before I received and deciphered the message myself, and was then able to deliver it in the form of this book. Can You Drink of His Cup? Matthew 20:22 But Jesus answered and said, ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? (KJV)

In calculating the cost of following Yahshua and saying “Yes” to this marriage invitation, we would do well to remember that there is a cup to drink from, which may not always be that easy. Looking at what Yahshua had to endure after He drank from “The Cup” should give us a clear indication of what we should expect after choosing to follow Him. We must be willing to walk a similar road to what he did. After making the choice to follow, we are usually baptized into the new life; this we will discuss further in another chapter, but for now we need to understand that during the negotiations we drink from “The Cup” in agreement to the marriage – and that is exactly what Yahshua did with His disciples – and we will drink again with Him the second time, at the marriage feast! Belly Numbers 5:21 the Lord make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the Lord doth make thy thigh to rot and thy belly to swell. (KJV) Another strange thing about Transverse Myelitis is that your belly swells due to the urine that cannot be released. The virus causing TM in me was the Zoster Herpes Simplex Number One. Zoster from the Greek means belt and herpes means creeper or serpent. While I was writing this book, I discovered that there is a demon with the name Jesus, which reminded me of how I was in doubt in a particular situation when I was being prayed for in the name of Jesus. I could not exactly pinpoint my reason but something just did not feel right. I was soon to make a new discovery, and that was that Satan was hiding in the name Jesus – like a wolf in sheep’s clothing – in the church. At first this was such a shocking revelation

14

to me I could hardly make sense of it. This revelation was confirmed to me when, after 3 and half years of being well, I suffered another attack from this virus in my blood. I thought about the significance of the name of this virus, Zoster, which means “creeping thing” or “serpent” and I suddenly realized the reason for this hidden attack. The virus, Herpes Simplex Number One, becomes inactive and hides away for a time, and under the right conditions can come out again unexpectedly to attack the nervous system. I felt that the Father was saying that this is precisely what Satan has done. He tried to hide away in the name “Jesus” and now that he has been exposed he is very angry and is trying to attack the church body. I believe that Abba Father has allowed this illness in my body for a very good reason, and that is for me to be able to discern and decipher it so that there might be a prophetic word and sign to His Son’s bride, so that we can all learn from it. I then also began to understand why my book could not be finished yet; it was because there were more revelations to come in order to complete this testimony. Creeping Serpent Isaiah 27:1 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. (KJV) Revelation 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place where

15

she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time from the face of the serpent. (KJV) The above scripture about Leviathan and the serpent serve as reminders to me that the Father is constantly communicating with us and sending us signs and messages; for example, I had some on various occasions during the last two weeks. The last time was this morning, when I left the farm for a doctor’s appointment in town, and I saw an eagle sitting in the tree at the gate. As my belly was stirred, it struck me that this was a noteworthy sighting. Yes, I believe everything happens for a reason and has significance and I believe that these have been signs to me that we as a church body will soon be nourished from the face of the serpent. Revelation 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourisehd for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. (KJV) I do my utmost to not allow doubts and negative thoughts to come creeping into my mind, because I do not want to dampen in any way what the Holy Ruach HaKodesh is trying to say to, and through, me. Day after day He confirms things to me one by one; sometimes I see things and I decide not to write about them, but He comes back gently and repeatedly to show me the significance, and then I am compelled to write or speak about that particular thing. Despite this new attack on my body I am at peace because I know that the serpent will not win this battle and that very soon he will be slain and put in chains for 1000 years. We read in Job 32:19 that he said his belly was as wine with no vent that is ready to burst like new bottles. This is how I feel sometimes

when I sit down to write. This “Word” in a prophet is like wine that wants to burst out of his belly. The belly is a place of deep emotions. Negative words and emotions can also find a place to rest deep in one’s belly and we can see this in Proverbs 18.8 where it says that “the words of a talebearer are as wounds that go down into the innermost parts of the belly.” (KJV) There are many scriptures that tell us that our tongues can be the cause of illness. Death and life is in the power of the tongue, according to Proverbs 18:21. (KJV) These scriptures came as confirmations to me as the Father was revealing to me that my body in this state of illness was going to be used as a sign to the body of Christ to learn lessons from. We saw in the previous chapter that Yahshua is the fulfillment of many prophetic actions that took place in the Old Testament. Recently someone told me about two little boys who drank water that was intentionally poisoned by one of the staff; the aim was to kill their father. These two boys are now grown men but the poison damaged their nervous systems. One of them is obliged to live near the seaside because he is extremely sensitive to warm weather. So, even if it is a physical poison or a spiritual poison like the tongue, the result is the same: it attacks the nervous system, which is the communication network of the body. A Cup of Forgiveness Psalm 23:5 Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anoint my head with oil; my cup runneth over. (KJV) When a cup was found in the grain bag of Benjamin, Judah pleaded for mercy from Joseph. The same Joseph, who they sold as a slave, was now the second most important person in Egypt. Through the story of Joseph we learn how we too can forgive anyone who may

have sinned against us. We must remember that God can only forgive those who we have forgiven. The fifth gate to be opened will teach us the value of the bread and wine, as signs of the body of Yahshua Messiach Himself. 1 Corinthians 11:30 tells us “that many are weak and sick among us, and have even died because we do not discern the Lord’s body.” (KJV) Forgiveness is a key element in this tradition of taking the bread and the wine, which we call communion. I was so disappointed when the Pastor omitted to serve communion at my daughter’s wedding; he said that there were so many things he had to attend to, that it slipped his mind. I tried to create another gap during the wedding ceremony for the communion to be served but to no avail. We eventually decided to make peace with the situation and agreed that it was not meant to be. However, I still wanted to find the reason why this had happened, and the Father showed me. The wedding guests were all given a piece of bread and a glass in a tiny gift bag and I am sure that many wondered what this was all about. I then made the connection between this wedding gift of my daughter, and the gift of Yahshua’s death and resurrection; I realised that it is in our own hands whether to use it or not. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (KJV) 1 Corinthians 11:29 “… he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself because he did not discern the Lord’s body.” (KJV)

According to “A More Excellent Way” by Henry W. Wright, there are three aspects we have to look at when looking at illnesses and the taking of communion. Firstly, when we take communion we are essentially celebrating His forgiveness of our sin, but when we do not believe or repent of our sins, we are actually taking it unworthily and we are therefore guilty of fraud. Then we have in fact cursed ourselves, because we have made that which Yahshua did at the cross for us all, of no effect. Part of this is to judge ourselves, therefore if we do not investigate to see what the sin is that we are continuing with, and repent of it, we are making a mockery of Yahshua and His death! The second aspect has to do with “eating each other alive”. If the members of the body of Christ are attacking one another in relationships, it is like an autoimmune disease attacking the physical body. We must learn to discern one another as part of the Body of Yahshua. If we honour and respect each other regarding our place in the Body of Yahshua, we will not “eat each other alive”. Therefore taking communion while attacking another person, is also to make a mockery of Yahshua and His Body, of which He is the Head. I have written about my own struggle with Transverse Myelitis, an illness where the body attacks itself and I revealed the lessons I learned on my road to recovery about how we attack each other, but actually we are attacking our OWN BODY, THE BODY OF YAHSHUA! If we use communion we are actually saying we love each other and respect what Yahshua has done for all of us. We cannot say we love Him, use communion, but then have problems with our neighbour? Then we are lying.

4: Ruth – Saying yes with the Redeeming Bride

19

Thirdly, if we use communion, but do not believe that Yahshua still heals today, and that by His stripes we are already healed, (Isaiah 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole (Amp); we are double minded and believe in only half of the truth – forgiveness of sin. We receive forgiveness and healing through His death and resurrection, not only forgiveness. When we believe this half-truth, we are bringing a curse upon ourselves. So, now back to my daughter’s wedding, how precious is our heavenly Father! He kept me from bringing a curse on people who might not have made themselves ready to take communion, but would have done so because of this special day. Today, make sure that you understand the above three important points regarding the communion. That is the reason why there are many weak and sick among us, and many of us sleep. (They are believers who are dying before their time, according to Henry W. Wright – A More Excellent Way.) Furthermore, what are you doing with the Gift in your hand? Yahshua has done it all for you, you have it in your hands, now make Him part of you, partake of Him, “eat” and “drink” Him – become one with Him. Today, I want to ask you to read all the scriptures regarding forgiveness. We have to forgive all those who have sinned against us, to be able to stand before the altar. Matthew 5:23 states that we should leave our offering at the altar if we remember about someone that has something against us, and that we should first reconcile with that person before we come before the altar again.

Fasting and Prayer Luke 2:36 – 37 And there was also a prophetess, Anna… worshipping night and day with fasting and prayer. (Amp) If there is one thing we can learn from Anna the prophesying bride, it is that she never left the temple and that she fasted and prayed continuously. She was so consumed with being in the presence of God that she actually never wanted to leave the temple and because of this His presence stayed there day and night. That is where we should also currently be. We also read in Mark 9:29 that certain spirits can only come forth by prayer and fasting. On this road to the presence of the Lord, we see that Yahshua told the Pharisees in Luke 5:34 the reason that the disciples did not fast and pray while Yahshua was with them, was because the Bridegroom was with them, and that they would only fast and pray after He had left them. Now Yahshua is not with us anymore, therefore we should learn from Anna to be in His presence always, and to fast and pray continuously, to be in tune with His Ruach HaKodesh – His Holy Spirit. Be Careful Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over G2358 (sung in honour of Bacchus) them in it.

The other day my brother told me that something very strange had happened and he asked me to look up the meaning of leopard; a wolf had attacked and caught a leopard which, in itself, is an extremely rare phenomenon. Expectantly I waited for the Father to reveal His thoughts on this matter and of course the first thing I did was to search in The Prophets Dictionary by Paula A. Price, PH.D:

760: Leopard – A) A symbol of the cruel, ruthless, and powerful in exploits and conquests. B) Indicative of vicious pride in the guise of human courage. C) A sign of swiftness and stealth mobilized for assault. The leopard was an ancient symbol of shamanism and the sacred animal of Set, the Egyptian deity. Its character was also linked to the attributes of Dionysus (Bacchus), the Greek God of revelry, brutality, sexual perversion, and drunkenness. Leopard spots were also identified with the many-eyed God, Argus. (My insertion: Argus - Classical Mythology. A giant with 100 eyes, set to guard the heifer Io: his eyes were transferred after his death to the peacock's tail.) It is also called Puma. For this reason, the black leopard was thought to be born from a crossbreed of the lion and the panther.

I then decided to look up Dionysus (Bacchus) in the scriptures and what I discovered was mind boggling:

2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto Yah, which always causeth us to triumph G2358 (sung in honour of Bacchus) in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. (KJV) Strong’s G2358 thriambeuō From a prolonged compound of the base of G2360 and a derivative of G680 (meaning a noisy iambus, sung in honor of Bacchus); to make an acclamatory procession, that is, (figuratively) to conquer or (by

4: Ruth – Saying yes with the Redeeming Bride

22

Hebraism) to give victory: - (cause) to triumph (over). This word triumph from the Greek means to sing in honor of Bacchus!

Take note of who Bacchus is in the above explanation and discern for yourself how people react when they have the spirit of Bacchus. The scriptures also tell us: Romans 13:13 Let us walk honestly as in the day, not in rioting G2970 and drunkenness. Galatians 5:21 Envying’s, murder, drunkenness, revelling’s G2970 and such like. 1 Peter 4:3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess wine revelling’s G2970, banqueting’s, and abominable idolatries. Strong’s G2970 states that revellings is kōmos From G2749; a carousal (as if a letting loose): - revelling, rioting. In Rome during the 3rd century BC the dominant cult was that of Bacchus worship and it is the same god that the Greeks call Dionysus. Bacchus was known as the God of wine and intoxication, he was the son of Jupiter (Zeus) and Semele. Like the Greek’s Dionysus, Bacchus was associated predominantly with female followers known as bassarids in Rome and maenads in Greek meaning "raving ones". These women were inspired by Bacchus into a state of ecstatic frenzy through a combination of dancing and drunken intoxication. Now when a person is drunk, they are changed to the point of impairment of physical and mental faculties, and are overcome by strong feeling or emotion. So when the maenads would get to this state of drunkenness, they would lose all

23

self-control, and begin shouting excitedly and speaking in tongues and would become engaged in uncontrolled sexual behaviour. These women were said to be under the curse of Bacchus who through his spirit, would enter into their body and fill them with insanity and thus the women would feel called by him to become worshippers and priestesses. So these maenads were possessed by the spirit of Bacchus, and would travel with him from Thrace to mainland Greece in his quest for the recognition of his divinity. Whenever he came into contact with young women, they would almost instantly feel his spirit and would engage in practicing not only the closed rites, but would also take up the dances. It seems to me as if we have only uncovered the tip of the iceberg of Greek influence in our translations and churches! Please set aside time to spend with Abba Father and ask His Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) to show you where you might have been contaminated with the spirit of Bacchus. It might not have been at a party where alcohol was; it might have been at a charismatic church service! (PLEASE I DO NOT SAY ALL CHARASMATIC CHURCH SERVICES ARE UNDER THE SPIRIT OF BACCHUS) However, please remember that Satan is a copycat, and that he is copying all true things of Abba Father, and therefore we should be wide awake and on alert. Denounce Bacchus today and make sure that you have the Ruach HaKodesh of Abba Father, and not the counterfeit of Satan! Smoke in His Nostrils Isaiah 65: 5 …who say, Keep to yourself, do not come near me, For I am holier than you! These are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all the day. (KJV)

One day I was watching a certain TBN preacher and I saw that he jumped away from people and told them “do not touch me!” I was disturbed by this and I immediately changed the channel. This was the same preacher who I heard years ago tell mothers with small children to silence their children as there were many people who came from far to listen to him. For me this was not true behaviour from the heart of Yahshua! Today I am watching this preacher again and I am happy to see a more humbled man; this after a very distressing few years in his life. Without being judgmental I can truly say that I am glad that he has discovered the true humbleness of Yahshua. Matthew 9:11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” Showing the humbleness of Yahshua, Matthew wrote about the teachers of the law, the Pharisees, who asked Yahshua’s disciples how he could mingle with sinners? 1 Peter 5:5 Likewise your younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, And be clothed with humility; For God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble. Let us take the example of Yahshua, and some other writers of the New Testament, who show us what it is to be humble so that we do not cause smoke in God’s nostrils as is spoken about in Isaiah 65:5 where some law teachers also thought themselves holier than other people. Let us submit to each other and treat each other with love, yes the love of Yahshua, and not look down on people who we think are not Christians yet. Many times I have heard people say, “I do

4: Ruth – Saying yes with the Redeeming Bride

25

not want to be a Christian if that is how Christians behave!” Let us look to other people through the eyes of Yahshua! The only difference between true Christians and non-believers is that the non-believers are not forgiven yet! All of us stand guilty before the throne, and all of us need Yahshua. Some find Him earlier than others, but that does not give us any right to judge them now that we are forgiven, but the others not yet. Sweet Savour Genesis 8:21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour… (KJV) 2 Corinthians 2:15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved and in them that perish. We saw how pride was as smoke in Yah’s nostrils. Now we see that our prayers are a sweet savour or aroma to Yah. What amazes me most is the effect that our prayers have, despite the fact that they are a sweet smell to Him. The resounding impact of a prayer that has gone up to heaven and then returned to earth in thundering, lightning and earthquakes! I recently received a testimony from an unknown author about the 26 guards that I would like to share with you. Revelation 8:4-5 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense G2368, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. And the angel took the censer, and

filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth and there were voices and thundering and lightning and earthquakes. (KJV) Philippians 4:18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epahroditus the things, which were sent from you, and odour of sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God. (KJV) Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour. (KJV) Hebrews 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. (KJV) Furthermore it is so deep to read about the patterns of things in heaven, of which so many things – like the tabernacle on earth – was a shadow of the “true thing” in heaven, which will ultimately be personified in us, the Tabernacle, the Temple, the Bride, the New Jerusalem! It is amazing when one realises that a physical thing like the tabernacle or the temple which we can see here on earth, and which is in the first dimension, is an actual shadow of the unseen, but real, thing in heaven, which is the third dimension, of which we are the spiritual temple, of the second dimension! But that is not all! We are going to be the NEXT REAL, “UNSEEN THING NOW”, “BUT REAL THING THEN” – the Temple, Bride and New Jerusalem of

the New World and New Heaven, the fourth dimension. Have we not learned that faith is the substance of things unseen? The 26 Guards Have you ever felt the urge to pray for someone, and then just put it on a list and said to yourself, “I'll pray for them later”? Or, has anyone ever called you and said, “I need you to pray for me; I have this need.” This story of 26 guards may change the way that you think about prayer and also perhaps change the way that you pray. Learn from it to become like Anna – a praying, prophesying bride. A missionary on furlough told this true story while visiting his home church in Michigan.

'While serving at a small field hospital in Africa, every two weeks I travelled by bicycle through the jungle to a nearby city for supplies. This was a journey of two days, and required camping overnight at a halfway point. On one of these journeys, I arrived in the city where I planned to collect money from a bank, purchase medicine and supplies, and then begin my two-day journey back to the field hospital. Upon arrival in the city, I observed two men fighting, one of whom had been seriously injured. I treated him for his injuries and at the same time talked to him about the Lord. I then travelled back the two days, camping overnight, and arrived home without incident. Two weeks later I repeated my journey. Upon arriving in the city, I was approached by the young man I had treated. He told me that he had known I carried money and medicines. He said, 'Some friends and I followed you in to the jungle, knowing you would camp overnight. We planned to kill you and take your money and drugs. But just as we were

about to move into your camp, we saw that you were surrounded by 26 armed guards. At this, I laughed and said that I was certainly all alone in that jungle campsite. The young man pressed the point, however, and said, 'No, sir, I was not the only person to see the guards, my friends also saw them, and we all counted them. It was because of those guards that we were afraid and left you alone.' At this point in the sermon, one of the men in the congregation jumped to his feet and interrupted the missionary and asked if he could tell him the exact day this happened. The missionary told the congregation the date, and the man who had interrupted, told him this story: 'On the night of your incident in Africa, it was morning here, and I was preparing to go and play golf. I was about to putt when I felt the urge to pray for you. In fact, the urging of the Lord was so strong, that I called men in this church to meet with me here in the sanctuary to pray for you. Would all of those men who met with me on that day stand up?' The men who had come together to pray on that day stood up. The missionary wasn't concerned with whom they were, he was too busy counting how many men he saw. There were 26.

This story is an incredible example of how the Spirit of the Lord moves on behalf of those who love Him. If you ever feel such prodding to pray, go along with it, you don't know what it can mean to that person. Nothing and nobody is ever hurt by prayer – except the gates of hell. Another Kind of Cup Habakkuk 2:16 Thou are filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the Lord’s right hand

shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory. (KJV) There will come a day that those who did not accept the invitation to the wedding, and who have turned their backs on Yahshua, will drink out of the cup of His fury. God, who is holy, punishes sin. If we are not under the blood of Yahshua, we are under the curse of sin. Then we will drink the cup of shame. Out of the Lord’s right hand will flow His fury unto those who are outside of the bridal room. Take time to think about the meaning of this fifth gate that is busy being opened for you, when you decide to give yourself as a living sacrifice to God. He sent His son Yahshua to do so for you and He drank out of the cup the night before His crucifixion. When you give yourself, and have forgiven those that have sinned against you, and by using communion to celebrate this, you are preparing yourself for the sixth gate to be opened for you.

Summary of Books 1 – 5: Deborah Awakening the Bride Rachel Paying for the Costly Bride Jeshurun Compiling the Contract with the Unworthy Bride Ruth Accepting the Invitation with the Redeeming Bride Anna Drinking out of the Cup with the Prophesying Bride Outer Court

Wall around the Tabernacle with only one gate – only one way to obtain entrance to the Tabernacle – His Presence – through Him (Yahshua the Door).

The altar – where the slaughtering for sin took place. The washing – where the washing of feet and hands took place. There was place for hundreds of people in the First Court – most probably the waiters for the wedding will be found in this court.

Your are invited and have been chosen as bride for Yahshua through His Father. Yahshua has paid with His own blood for you for the price of the bride. The Ten Commandments, as well as all the promises in the scriptures, are the contract between you and your Bridegroom, Yahshua. You will have to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the invitation as a bride to Yahshua. Yahshua drank out of the Cup for you and will only drink the last Cup at the Marriage Feast. You will have to start using your Husband’s Personal Name to come closer to Him. You will have to get to the Thruth about Him and His Word, to get into His presence.

The first Feasts to keep is: The Feast of Unleavened bread, The Passover, The Counting of the 50 Days, 7 Weeks, and The Day of Pentecost, when the Ten Commandments were given on Mount Sinai. This co-incides with the Barley harvest. The easiest way to harvest the Barley is when the wind is blowing, the seeds fall out. Those are the people who react quickly to the whispers of the Ruach HaKodesh and are easily converted. What to Learn from my Body I received the authority from Abba to write this story – He gave me a ring. I am a sign to the Body. You are chosen as an instrument and bride. The evil one wants to paralyse you so that you cannot be this instrument. Open wounds lead to giving entrance to illnesses and demons. The attack is on your belly, gut; the place where the Ruach HaKodesh lives. The devil wants to strangle the living presence of Yah out of your body, soul and spirit. Your flesh should be dead and feel nothing. You should be either hot or cold, not in between. Have you realised that you are an unworthy bride who is in need of redemption? Have you accepted that Yahshua is your redeemer? Have you given yourself over to Him and said “yes”? Have you accepted His preconditions for the wedding, the Ten Commandments, and are you looking forward to how He is going to take care of you; the 3800 promises in His Word? If you have said “yes” then the first five gates, as well as the first dimension, are open to you.

You are in the first physical dimension – the Outer Court – just like Yahshua manifested in the flesh. You hear and see the letter of the Word and you are expectant and ready to walk to the second dimension – the Inner Court. This is where you will receive more apparatus as the bride in order for you to open the gates that are to follow, so that you might receive the next key as to how to come into the presence of Yah. In this court you will be born again, after accepting the offer for your sins from Yahshua.

Prayer Yahshua, please help us to give of ourselves – just as You have given of Yourself – as a living sacrifice. Help us to drink out of the same cup that You have, even if it may cost us our lives. Help us to forgive all the people who have sinned against us, as we have been forgiven by our Father. Help us to be in the ministry of reconciliation!

Ruach HaKodesh please open our eyes to the truth about the Spirit of Bacchus, so that we can repent from it and be clean before our Bridegroom as Your bride.

I come against you, Spirit of Bacchus, in the Name of Yahshua and place you under His Blood and declare that your hold on the bride is broken and that her eyes will be opened to see the truth. In the Name and authority of Yahshua, I declare the fifth gate to His presence open for the bride. All honour and glory to Yah who has walked with us, this path of five gates in the first dimension, through his Ruach HaKodesh, to open the gates to the first part of the Tabernacle to us. Amein
