ANOTHER GOSPEL & ANOTHER MESSIAH
– Part 1
The message of the Book of the Covenant (BOC) is that we must worship only one Creator of heaven and earth whose Name is YAHWEH. The BOC says anyone who worships “God” instead of YAHWEH shall perish (Deuteronomy 8:19-19). Satan is described as the “God” of this world (2 Cor. 4:4; Jn. 8:44; Rev. 12:9); he is the “another” preached by the Apostles of old. Unfortunately, many took this warning with a pinch of salt. They worship “another” as if they are worshipping YAHWEH. In both lands of Israel and the Gentile nations today, the whole world worships “God.” This is why the coming judgment will fall upon the children of disobedience without mercy. When will you repent and worship the only true Creator, YAHWEH, who called Israel? He expects us to worship Him through YAHSHUA the Messiah, given to humanity for their salvation in these last days. Yahshua is the only Saviour and Messiah – any other ‘messiah’ is false!
2 Corinthians 11:4
“For if someone comes and proclaims “another YAHSHUA” than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.”
“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting Him YAHWEH (YHWH), who called you in the favour of HAMASHIACH (Messiah) and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of YAHSHUA. But even if an angel from heaven or we, should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.”
“Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write, appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, unrighteous people, who pervert the favour [goodness, kindness] of our FATHER into sensuality and deny our only SAVIOUR and MESSIAH, YAHSHUA HAMASHIACH.”
Today, different Bible books have been written to steer many away from the truth of the FATHER. The WORDS of the FATHER, YAHWEH, are written and contained in His original Hebrew Books called:
Book of the Covenant (BOC), or Book of the Law, or Bible means: Biblio Gk; Biblia Lat.
Book of YHWH
1. The BOC teaches ONE genuine Gospel commanded by the Creator, YHWH.
2. The BOC teaches that there is ONE CREATOR and FATHER of all.
3. The BOC teaches that there is ONE SAVIOUR & ONE MESSIAH.
4. The BOC teaches that there is ONE SPIRIT – the Teacher, Helper, Guardian.
5. The BOC teaches that there is “ANOTHER” called ADVERSARY – Satan the
devil, the deceiver, and the God of this world (Jn. 8:44; Rev. 12:9; 2Cor. 4:4).
6. The BOC warns about “another Gospel” that was not commanded, which
Satan preaches.
7. BOC identifies ONE genuine Gospel or Good News Message and also warns us to beware and flee from “another Gospel” that corrupts the genuine Good News of the Kingdom.
Questions:
What is the Name of the ONE genuine Gospel? Covenant Way.
Who were the Covenant, or the Law of Covenant, given to? See Rom. 3:2; 9:4-5.
What did those given ONE genuine Gospel ask to do? Worship YHWH only.
Two Doctrines Exist:
In the BOC/Bible, two doctrines confront the soul of humanity:
1. Doctrine of YAHWEH [i.e. COVENANT WAY: the Way, Truth, & Life, Jn. 14:6]
2. Doctrine of Satan [Religion: without the Covenant Law or Commandments, traditions and
commandments of men]
DOCTRINE OF YAHWEH
1. Heaven & Earth were created by YHWH alone;
2. YHWH created Mankind and handed the earth to them
for eternal inheritance – to have dominion over all He created;
3. YHWH created Mankind in His [image? No!] but in His: resemblance, likeness, similitude, similarity, sameness as “sons and daughters” with the title, “Gods”, meaning “Children of YHWH” (see Ps. 82:5-6; Jn. 10:34-36). This title was hijacked and stolen by Satan, the God of this world, to this day. YAHSHUA the Firstborn; the First Seed/Fruit; the First Likeness of the FATHER – “My Father and I are One” (Jn. 10:30);
4. Teaches against sin, and advises humanity to flee from sinful ways;
4. Teaches the Restoration of YAHWEH’s Righteousness on the Earth through the YAHSHUA HAMASHIACH from the nation of Yisrayah;
5. Teaches the Restoration of Yisrayah as a righteous nation as the Saviour YAHSHUA HAMASHIACH returns to establish the Kingdom of YAHWEH here on Earth, with Jerusalem as His Hqrs.
6. To achieve restoration of the Earth, YAHWEH gave Torah & Ten Commandments as the BOC to guide and instruct Yisrayah on what they must be doing to achieve His objective of restoring the earth into righteousness.
7. YHWH gave His Name; Shabbat keeping; Feasts, Dietary Laws, etc to enable Israelites, called the Messengers, Servants, Witnesses of YHWH, to return to Him so that He can restore the earth for their habitation (see Isaiah Chapters 42 – 45).
SATAN – THE ANOTHER
8. SATAN CALLED “ANOTHER” WITH ANOTHER GOSPEL withstood the doctrine of YAHWEH – and introduced RELIGION – with IDOL being the key weapon of deception (e.g. images, objects, pictures, AI, animations, etc). Satan took the “GOD”, “LORD” as a name that is above all other names to deceive the whole world (2 Cor. 4:4; Rev. 12:9; see Jn. 8:44). He appointed himself the messiah of the world, and identified willing fallen mankind to profess him as the God of this world and the coming messiah (John 5:43).
ANOTHER GOSPEL & ANOTHER MESSIAH - PART 2
Subtitle: GOD & IDOL WORSHIP
What the Book of the Covenant says:
The Book of the Covenant (BOC) proves that to worship “GOD” is
to worship “IDOLS” of Satan. Idols of Satan are of different degrees:
These may be self, someone (leader, pastor, priest, prophet, teacher; see
Jer. 23:25-27). Other forms of idols include: animals, wood and stone
(Deut. 4:28; 28:36,64; 32:16, 17; Jer. 16:13 etc). Don’t forget, YAHSHUA
and Apostles called Satan by titles, e.g. devil, prince of this world,
God of this world, etc.
The message of the BOC demands that YAHWEH alone must be worshipped, not “another” [Satan] who claims he is the God of this world. YAHWEH alone created heaven and earth, and His Name remains YAHWEH – it does not change. The BOC says anyone who worships “God” instead of YAHWEH shall perish (Deuteronomy 8:19-19). Satan is described as the “God” of this world (2 Cor. 4:4; Jn. 8:44; Rev. 12:9); he is the “another” preached by the Apostles of old. Unfortunately, many took this warning with a pinch of salt. They worship “another” as if they are worshipping YAHWEH. They conclude there is no difference between the title ‘God’ and YAHWEH. This is a lie of the devil. In both the land of Israel and the Gentile nations today, the whole world worships “God.” This is why the coming judgment will fall upon the children of disobedience without mercy. When will you repent and worship the only true Creator, YAHWEH, who called Israel? He expects us to worship Him through YAHSHUA the Messiah given to humanity for their salvation in these last days. Yahshua is the only Saviour and Messiah – any other ‘messiah’ is false!
NOW LET’S SEPARATE YHWH FROM GOD worship
YAHWEH SAYS, WORSHIP ME ALONE
Exodus 20:3-5
“I am YHWH your FATHER, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. “You shall have no Gods before me. “You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, YAHWEH your FATHER, am a jealous YAH, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate Me, and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
The instruction is clear: Worship only YHWH; do not worship God(s) of nations. Those who violate this instruction make YHWH their enemy, and they are those who hate Him. But those who keep this commandment to worship Him are those who love Him. This message is clear as daylight.
2 Corinthians 11:4
“For if someone comes and proclaims “another YAHSHUA” than the YAHSHUA we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you may well put up with it.”
In today’s world, they have changed YHWH’s gospel to “another gospel” which does not agree with His Covenant. YHWH’s gospel enthrones His Name in it for human salvation. The rebels who established “another” gospel different from the original gospel of the Covenant are working for the adversary – Satan the devil. The Covenant gospel provides only one Father, YHWH; one Saviour, Yahshua, and one Spirit – the Spirit bearing fruit, which is the power of YHWH to obey His Law (Gal. 5:22-23; see Acts 2:38). Those who accept a different gospel other than the Covenant gospel shall perish by it.
“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting Him (YHWH) who called you in the favour of HAMASHIACH (Messiah) and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of YAHSHUA. But even if an angel from heaven or we should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.”
“…contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints…”
In YHWH & YAHSHUA, our faith is founded and built. Without His NAME, you have no faith. This is the reason you must contend to ensure that you worship in the Name of YHWH given to us, which makes us PECULIAR OR SPECIAL TREASURE OF YAHWEH (Exod. 19:5). The reason we need to contend and ensure our faith is in His Name is because we must live to fulfil the purpose to which He created us, i.e. WORSHIP, and to be partakers of ETERNAL SALVATION to which YAHSHUA was given to us for our REDEMPTION. If you do not have faith in YAHSHUA and YHWH, you are simply worshipping “another” father – the “God” of this world; you are simply following “another” messiah, and you are simply led by “another” spirit – the spirit of the devils. To worship and follow “another” is the “idol” ABBA FATHER warns that we must flee. YAHSHUA warns in John 8:44 that we must not be partakers of Satan's worship, whom He described as the “thief [that] comes but to steal, to kill, and to destroy” (Jn. 10:10). John the beloved warned: “Children, flee from idols” (1 Jn. 5:21). Satan is the author of idols. He uses the hearts of men to set up idols in the form of images, objects, pictures, animations, etc. Now let’s ask these two questions:
1) What is IDOL?
2) How does it affect you?
1. What Is Idol?
Let’s examine what an idol is:
You are commanded never to worship the Gentile idols, formed by way of images, objects, pictures, animations, etc. These include titles of God men call and worship daily, e.g. god, God, GOD, Lord, LORD, Jehovah, El, Elohim, Adonai, HaShem, Jesus, Allah, Krishner, etc. These titles don’t matter if they are spelt all in small letters or big letters. The Creator says these titles and many others must never be mixed or shared with His glorious and awesome Name, YHWH, in praise or worship (Is. 42:8; 48:11; Deut. 28:58; Ex. 23:13; Hos. 13:4, etc). To do so violates His Covenant. What then is specifically an idol and idolatry? An idol is anything that competes with or overrides the sacred Name of YAHWEH. John the Beloved warns: “Little children, keep yourselves from idols…” (1 Jn. 5:21; see Ex. 20:3-6). Anything you love with all your heart and worship other than YAHWEH is an idol. An idol is what YHWH has been working hard to remove from the hearts and minds of people since the fall of man after creation. Furthermore, IDOLATRY is the worship of an idol as though it were a deity. In Abrahamic religions, idolatry connotes the worship of something or someone other than the Abrahamic YHWH as if it were YAH.
YHWH guides those who fear Him and teaches His Covenant to those who love Him. At the same time, Satan guides his people with religions that are based on ‘image’, ‘object’, pictures, animations, and ‘worship’ (Ex. 20:3-5; Rev. 14:9-11). YHWH is explicit about idols. Satan, who uses religion to lure men to produce ‘idols’, also causes them to mould, carve, engrave, or fashion anything in the form of an image, object or picture referred to as ‘god’, ‘God ’, or ‘GOD’ for worship. Whether used in the capital sense (big letters) or not, it does not diminish or undermine the identity of Satan the deceiver of mankind. Idols are fashioned to produce glory, honour and worship to Satan the deceiver, who is the GOD of this world (2 Cor. 4:4). For this reason, YAHWEH gave it as a commandment in His Covenant that His people must not worship YHWH through carved images, objects, animations, or pictures, because those are medium through which Satan receives worship from mankind (Ex. 20:3-5; Rev. 13:2-4). Yisrayah (Israel) were strictly warned that they should NEVER practice the religions of the Gentile nations (Lev. 18:3), who do not know Him; they worship only God or Elohim. Yisrayah failed to heed this instruction. Lack of knowledge about religions has led many to worship whom they do not know [Jn. 4:22). As you read with understanding and resolve to obey the living Word contained in the BOC, your life will never be the same again.
2. How Does Idol Affect You?
a) Idol ensnares the worshipper in trouble: idol worship causes blindness against the truth;
b) Idol ensnares one’s heart to love “another” and cut off the relationship with YHWH;
c) Idol ensnares the worshipper and destroys the individual forever;
d) Idol removes the worshipper from the presence of YHWH;
e) Idols cause banishment of worshippers from the Kingdom.
f) Idol worship causes the land to be barren – most times rains are withdrawn (Jer. 14:22)
Read:
- Deuteronomy 7:1-5; 7:16,25-26;
- Deut. 13:1-18;
- Judges 8:27
- Jeremiah 14:22
CONCLUSION
Flee from every appearance of idol. Satan contrived idols in objects, images, pictures, wherein evil powers are infused into the images to bring destruction and ruin to those who use them. Unknown to many, the idols they bow to are killers and evil givers. Idol worship surely stops individuals from the Kingdom of YHWH. Idol worship will sooner or later cause war, famine/drought, diseases, and pestilence to happen in the land where it’s served and worshipped. YAHWEH’s judgment will catch up with all those who worship idols. Those who worship idols, the “God” of this world instead of YAHWEH, shall perish; they shall be destroyed to extinction. Rebels will exist no more on the earth. Stop being a rebel! Listen to YAHWEH and YAHSHUA and flee from God or Elohim worship that makes use of idols as an object, image or picture of service. Worship YAHWEH through YAHSHUA, your Creator, Saviour, Messiah, King and High Priest.
May Abba YAH grant our hearts His love and Spirit to seek Him. May HE grant us the desire to diligently seek Him and believe His Word so that we can all reject the worship of the God of this world and His idol way. May we serve YAHWEH alone in Yahshua’s Name.
HalleluYah
