Realizing That Prosperity Proceeds From
YÁOHU Ulhím defines and sets forth in His Word the scope and limits of the duties and responsibilities of the husband as well as the wife. The husband, like unto Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA, is to take on the role of being the prophet, priest and servant-leader of the household. YÁOHU Ulhím therefore expects the husband to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of being the authority, the head and leader of the family, with the wife and children dutifully obeying him. 'Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is ha-MEHUSHKHÁY, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY is YÁOHU UL.' - 1 Corinthians 11:3 The husband is also supposed to love his wife in a manner like that shown by Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA for the Oholyáo (Congregation), giving Himself for her, the body of the Messiah on earth. 'Husbands, love your wives, just as ha-MEHUSHKHÁY loved the Oholyáo (Congregation) and gave Himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word.' - Ephesians 5:25-26 The husband is also supposed to teach as well as train his wife and children on scriptural principles found in the Word, with the main purpose of drawing them closer to YÁOHU Ulhím while at the same time eliminating impurities in their traits and attitudes. 'What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. He is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.' - Galatians 4:1-2 As we have mentioned previously, the husband is the one to set the scriptural policies, rules and regulations in the household while the wife takes care of the actual implementation and enforcement among the children and other household help. In this regard, therefore, the husband must make sure that he always backs up the disciplinary measures imposed by the wife on the children and always remain behind her in her implementing his policies.
'My son, keep your father's commands Another duty of the husband is to honor the wife as the 'weaker vessel' and as his co-heir in receiving YÁOHU Ulhím's free gift of life eternal in Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY. 'Husbands, in the same way be patient, comprehending and tender as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the free gift of life, in order that nothing will hinder your prayers.' - 1 Káfos 3:7 And finally, the husband must provide physical affection to the wife, since his body no longer belongs exclusively to him but to his wife, too, since they have become one flesh. 'The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, in order that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again in order that ha-satán will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.' - 1 Corinthians 7:3-5
Now about those queries you asked in your last letter: my answer is that if you do not marry, it is fine. But usually it is best to be married, each man having his own wife, and each woman having her own husband, because otherwise you might fall back into sin. The man should give his wife all that is her right as a married woman, and the wife should do the same for her husband: for a girl who marries no longer has full right to her own body; for her husband then has his rights to it, too; and in the same way the husband no longer has full right to his own body, for it belongs also to his wife. So never refuse these conjugal rights to one another. The only exception to this rule would be the agreement of both husband and wife to refrain from the rights of marriage for a limited time, so they can give themselves more completely to prayer. Afterwards, they should come together again so ha-satán won't be able to tempt them because of their lack of self-control. I'm not saying you must marry; but you surely may if you wish. I wish everyone could get along without marrying, just as I do. But we are not all the same. YÁOHU UL gives some the gift of a husband or wife, and other He gives the gift of being able to remain happily unmarried. So I say to those who aren't married, and to widows - better remain unmarried if you can, just as I am. But if you can't control yourself, go ahead and marry. It is better to marry than to burn with lust. Now, for those who are married I have a command, not just a recommendation. And it is not a command from me, for this is what ha-Molkhiúl (the King) Himself has said: A wife must not leave her husband! But if she is separated from him, let her remain single or else go back to him. And the husband should not divorce his wife. Here I want to add some recommendations of my own. These are not direct commands from ha-Molkhiúl (the King), but they seem right to me: If a Yaohúshuahée (male believer in the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA) has a wife who is not a believer, but she wants to remain with him anyway, he must not leave her or divorce her. And if a Yaohúshuayao (female believer) has a husband who isn't a Yaohúshuahée, and he wants her to remain with him, she must not leave him. For perhaps the husband who isn't a Yaohúshuahée may become a believer with the help of his Yaohúshuayao wife. And the wife who isn't a believer may become one with the help of her believing Yaohúshuahée husband. Otherwise, if the family separates, the children might never come to know ha-Molkhiúl; whereas a united family, in YÁOHU UL's plan, may lead to the children's salvation. But if the husband or wife who isn't a Yaohúshuahée (believer) is eager to leave, it is permitted. In such cases the Yaohúshuahée husband or wife should not insist that the other stay, for YÁOHU UL wants His children to live in peace and harmony. For, after all, there is no assurance to you wives that your husbands will be converted if they remain; and the same may be said to you husbands about your wives. But be sure in making conclusions about these matters that you are living as YÁOHU UL intended, marrying or not marrying in accordance with YÁOHU UL's direction and help, and accepting whatever appointment He has put you into. This is my rule for all the congregations. For example, a man who already has gone through the YAOHÚ-dee (Jewish) ceremony of circumcision before he became a Yaohúshuahée should never worry about it; and if he hasn't been circumcised, he should not do it now. For it doesn't make a difference at all whether a Yaohúshuahée has gone through this ceremony or not. But it makes a lot of difference whether he is pleasing YÁOHU UL and keeping YÁOHU UL's commands. That is the important matter. Usually a person should keep on with the work he was carrying out when YÁOHU UL called him. Are you a slave? Don't let that worry you - but of course, if you get a chance to be free, take it. If ha-Molkhiúl calls you, and you are a slave, remember that ha-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah) has set you free from the awful power of sin; and if He has called you and you are free, remember that you are now a slave of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY. You have been bought and paid for by ha-MEHUSHKHÁY, and so you actually belong to Him - be free now from all those earthly prides and fears. So my dear brethren, whatever appointment a person is in when he becomes a Yaohúshuahée (believer in the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA), let him remain there, for now ha-Molkhiúl is with him to help. Now I will try to answer your other query. What about young ladies who are not yet married? Should they be permitted to do so? In answer to this query, I have no special command for them from ha-Molkhiúl. But ha-Molkhiúl in His kindness has given me wisdom that can be relied upon, and I will be glad to tell you what I think. Here is the problem: We Yaohúshuahím are facing imposing dangers to our lives at present. In times like these I think it is best for a person to remain unmarried. Of course, if you already are married, don't separate just because of this. But if you aren't, don't rush into it this time. But if you men decide to go ahead anyway and get married now, it is all right; and if a girl gets married in times like these, it is no sin. However, marriage will bring additional problems that I wish you didn't have to face right now. The important thing to remember is that our remaining time is very short and so are our opportunities for doing the work of ha-Molkhiúl. For that reason those who have wives should remain as free as possible for ha-Molkhiúl; happiness or sorrow or wealth should not keep anyone from doing YÁOHU UL's work! Those in frequent contact with the alluring things the world offers should make beneficial use of their opportunities without stopping to delight in them; for the world in its present form will soon be gone. In all you do, I want you to be free from worry. An unmarried man can spend his time doing the work of ha-Molkhiúl and thinking of ways to please Him. But a married man can't do that so well; he has to attend to his earthly responsibilities and how to please his wife. His attention is divided. It is the same with the lady who marries. She faces the same problem. A lady who is not married is eager to please ha-Molkhiúl in all she is and does. But a married woman must pay attention to other things such as housekeeping and the likes and dislikes of her husband. I am saying this to help you, not to try to keep you from marrying. I want you to do whatever will help you serve ha-Molkhiúl best, with as few other matters as possible to grab your attention from Him. But if anyone feels he ought to marry because he has trouble controlling his passions, it is all right, it is not a sin; let him marry. But if a man has the willpower not to marry and decides that he doesn't need to and won't, he has made a wise conclusion. So the person who marries does well, and the person who doesn't marry does even better. The wife is part of her husband as long as he lives; if her husband dies, then she may marry again, but only if she marries a Yaohúshuahée (believer). But in my opinion she will be happier if she doesn't marry again; and I think I am giving you counsel from the 'RÚKHA-YÁOHU' (Spirit of YÁOHU UL) when I say this.
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
'Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is ha-MEHUSHKHÁY, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY is YÁOHU UL.' - 1 Corinthians 11:3 'Husbands, love your wives, just as ha-MEHUSHKHÁY loved the Oholyáo (Congregation) and gave Himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word.' - Ephesians 5:25-26 'What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. He is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.' - Galatians 4:1-2
'My son, keep your father's commands
When you walk, they will guide you;
For these commands are a lamp, 'Husbands, in the same way be patient, comprehending and tender as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the free gift of life, in order that nothing will hinder your prayers.' - 1 Káfos 3:7 'The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, in order that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again in order that ha-satán will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.' - 1 Corinthians 7:3-5
Humility which is the opposite of Haughtiness
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....MEEKNESS.' - Gal. 5:23
You will clearly define and delineate your duties, responsibilities to your wife and family, and the wife should also know the limits and scope of her subservient duties in her being the help meet to her husband, so the whole family could live well within the upright bounds of YÁOHU Ulhím's Word. We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Do not rise up like the sluggard, but with eagerness and gladness be up and ready to serve your Maker, YÁOHU Ulhím, throughout the oncoming day. Let everyone fortify himself like a lion and rise early in the morning to render service unto His Creator, YÁOHU Ulhím,, as king Dáoud said, 'I will awake at dawn.' (Tehillím 57:9) If a person does not rise up early, he quickly falls. All who know well how to obey will know also how to rule.
They may cause a smile but the following office rules that were in effect in 1872 in the establishment of Zachary U. Geiger are absolutely based upon sound principles:
In her dealings with her husband, the wife must make sure that she always project the wholesome attitudes and traits of a loving, upright and faithful wife. Much more so when she is making an appeal to her husband. The wife's attitude must reflect genuine love for her husband, as proven by the way she fully supports her husband's goals and ambitions. YÁOHU Ulhím expects the wife to always maintain a servant 'rúkha' to the husband like unto Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA Himself. The wife is also expected to remain loyal and faithful to the husband regardless of occurrences in the family life, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, till death do you part. After making the humble, respectful appeal, the wife must depend entirely upon YÁOHU Ulhím on the outcome, and she must take in positively whatever the result may be. In other words, yes or no, the positive benefits are what are reckoned and looked at, not the negatives. That is the wholesome attitude desired by YÁOHU Ulhím in any subordinate. Though the wife's temperament and spirit have much influence in affecting her husband's decisions and policies, yet the wife must be careful never to harbor any negative spirit which tend to resist the husband's will, order and commands. The wife should ask her husband to please correct her whenever he notices any negative, contrary spirit in her, for which the wife must quickly ask forgiveness of. In other words, the wife, being the helpmeet to the husband, must always be supportive, helpful and an encouragement to him, and not someone who blunts, resists and discourages the husband when it is not going her way.
'Likewise, you wives must always be in submission to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the Word, they also may without the word be won by the behavior of the wives; while they behold your upright demeanor coupled with reverential fear. Let not your adornment be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of YÁOHU Ulhím is of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who relied upon YÁOHU Ulhím, adorned themselves, being in submission unto their own husbands.' - 1 Káfos (Peter) 3:1-5 YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Now hear this, my son! I know what I am saying; hear me well! Watch yourself, lest you be indiscreet and betray some vital information. For the lips of a prostitute are as sweet as honey, and smooth flattery is her trade secret. But afterwards only a bitter conscience is left to you, sharp like a double-edged sword. She leads you down to death and hell. For she does not know the path to life. She staggers down a crooked trail, and doesn't even realize where it leads. Young men, hear me well, and never forget what I'm about to say: Run from her! Don't go near her house, lest you fall to her temptation and lose your honor, and give the remainder of your life to the cruel and merciless; or people you don't know will obtain your wealth, and you become a slave of foreigners. And afterwards you will groan in anguish and in shame, when a sexually-transmitted disease consumes your body, and you say, 'Oh, if only I had listened! If only I had not demanded my own way! Oh, why wouldn't I take advice? Why was I so stupid? For now I must suffer public disgrace.' Drink from your own well, my son - be faithful and true to your own wife! Why should you beget children with women of the alleys? Why share your children with those outside your home? Be happy, yes, be glad in the wife of your youth. Let her breasts and her gentle embrace satisfy you. Let her love alone fill you with delight. Why delight yourself with prostitutes, embracing what isn't yours? For YÁOHU UL is closely watching you, and He weighs carefully everything you do! The wicked man is doomed by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him. He shall die because he will not hearken to the truth; he has let himself be led away into incredible stupidity.
Loyalty which is the opposite of Fickle Affection
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....LOVE.' - Gal. 5:22
You will make sure that you always maintain positive, supportive and helpful attitudes and a servant 'rúkha' (spirit) toward your authorities, and whatever they decide upon, in response to your humble appeal, you must learn to accept them humbly and meekly and you must never resist. Blessed be all who are meek for they shall inherit the earth. Be always meek and you will always be the heir and inheritor, wherever you are! Remember the rule: Turn the other cheek, go the second mile. And your rewards from YÁOHU Ulhím shall be great! We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
I will remove your hard heart and I will give you a heart of flesh. All those who are hardhearted shall find no peace. Out of the abundance of the heart, your mouth speaks. You do not associate with double-hearted people, never. Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders and adulteries. Create in me a clean heart, O YÁOHU Ulhím! O YÁOHU Ulhím, please unite our hearts to love and revere You; and make one our hearts to reverentially fear Your holy Shúam (Name). I (YÁOHU Ulhím) will give them one heart. - Kozoqiúl (Ezekiel) 11:19
Do you know that a man was once court-martialed and condemned to a year's imprisonment for being a discourager? It happened during the Boer War at the siege of Ladysmith. The fortunes of the town and garrison were hanging in the balance. This civilian would go along the lines and speak discouraging words to the warriors on duty. He hit no blow for the enemy, not one. He was just a discourager, and that at a critical time. The court-martial judged it a crime to speak disheartening words in an hour like that.
It may happen that the authority, the husband in this case, may react negatively once an appeal is made which seemingly tends to countermand his initial orders, policies or directives. If this happens, the tendency of the flesh would be discredit and react negatively to the husband, too, by means of backbiting, retaliation and harboring bitterness against him, in earnest pursuit to prove him wrong. But that is the way to ruin, and not to life. Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA came to give you life and life more enriched though. The subordinate therefore, the wife in this case, in such a kind of an eventuality is expected by YÁOHU Ulhím to dispel a backbiting tongue by means of keeping one's mouth shut. If the subordinate begins to spread gossip, rumors and slander against her authority, the husband in this case, then whoever hears of them will surely exaggerate, twist, misuse and pervert them against your own authority, to your own detriment. The wife never must imitate what Abigaúl did in discrediting her own husband to king Dáoud (1 Samu-Ul 25). On the contrary, the subordinate (the wife) should recall the pious, holy traits of women in the Holy Scriptures. The wife should emulate the exemplary obedience of Soroáh when she fully obeyed Abruhám, coupled with her full trust upon YÁOHU Ulhím to rectify whatever needs be corrected, in cases where the husband errs. Perhaps it would also be best to find out where the subordinate went wrong, what was deficient in her appeals, and how she can improve on them after learning about the wise ways in which Queen Hodshúa gave her humble and very effective appeals. And finally, the wife would learn best from the noble display of Ruth's loyalty to YÁOHU Ulhím and His people, totally denying herself and following the unspoken wishes of her authority.
'In the days when the judges ruled in Yaoshorúl, a man from Beth- Lékhem in YAOHÚ-dah left the country because of a severe famine. He took his wife and two sons and went to live in the country of Moab. The man's name was Ulimelech, and his wife was Noamí. Their two sons were Mahlon and Kilion. They were Ephrathites from Beth-Lékhem in the land of YAOHÚ-dah. During their time in Moab, Ulimelech died and Noamí was left with her two sons. The two sons married Moabite women. One married a woman named Orpah, and the other a woman named Ruth. But about ten years later, both Mahlon and Kilion died. This left Noamí alone, without her husband or sons. Then Noamí heard in Moab that YÁOHU Ulhím had blessed His people in YAOHÚ-dah by giving them fine crops again. So Noamí and her daughters-in-law prepared to leave Moab to return to her homeland. With her two daughters-in-law she went out from the place where she had been living, and they took the road that would lead them back to YAOHÚ-dah. But on the way, Noamí said to her two daughters-in-law, 'Go back to your mothers' homes in place of coming with me. And may YÁOHU Ulhím reward you for your kindness to your husbands and to me. May YÁOHU Ulhím bless you with the security of another marriage.' Then she kissed them farewell, and they all broke down and wept. 'No,' they said. 'We want to go with you to your people.' But Noamí replied, 'Why should you go on with me? Can I still give birth to other sons who could grow up to be your husbands? No, my daughters, return to your parents' homes, for I am too old to marry again. And even if it were possible, and I were to get married tonight and bear sons, then what? Would you wait for them to grow up and refuse to marry someone else? No, surely not, my daughters! Things are far more bitter for me than for you, because YÁOHU Ulhím Himself has caused me to suffer.' And again they wept together, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law farewell. But Ruth was adamant on remaining with Noamí. 'See,' Noamí told her, 'your female sibling-in-law has gone back to her people and to her idols. You should do the same.' But Ruth replied, 'Don't ask me to leave you and turn back. I will go wherever you go and live wherever you live. Your people will be my people, and your YÁOHU Ulhím will be my YÁOHU Ulhím. I will die where you die and will be buried there. May YÁOHU Ulhím punish me severely if I allow anything but death to separate us!' So when Noamí saw that Ruth had made up her mind to go with her, she stopped urging her. So the two of them continued on their journey. When they came to Beth-Lékhem, the whole town was surprised by their arrival. 'Is it really Noamí?' the women asked. 'Don't call me Noamí,' she told them. 'On the contrary, call me Mara, for YÁOHU Ulhím has made life very bitter for me. I went away full, but YÁOHU Ulhím has brought me home empty. Why should you call me Noamí when YÁOHU Ulhím has caused me to suffer and YÁOHU Ulhím has sent such tragedy?' So Noamí returned from Moab, accompanied by her daughter-in-law Ruth, the young Moabite woman. They arrived in Beth-Lékhem at the beginning of the barley harvest.' - Ruth 1, Holy Scriptures YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
'Ulkháy sent back this reply to Hodshúa: 'Don't think for a moment that you will escape there in the palace when all other YAOHÚ-dim are killed. If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance for the YAOHÚ-dim will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. What's more, who can say but that you have been elevated to the palace for just such a time as this?' Then Hodshúa sent this reply to Ulkháy: 'Go and gather together all the YAOHÚ-dim of Susa and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will do the same. And then, though it is against the law, I will go in to see the king. If I must die, I am willing to die.' So Ulkháy went away and did as Hodshúa told him.' - Hodshúa (Es-her) 4:13-17 'If your boss is angry with you, don't quit! A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes.' - Ecclesiastes 10:4
Gentleness which is the opposite of Arrogance
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....GENTLENESS.' - Gal. 5:23
You will determine to maintain cheerful, loving, humble and gentle attitudes even if your authority reacts negatively to appeals which you have respectfully and humbly made, with the deeper knowledge that YÁOHU Ulhím is just proving your faith in Him to rectify whatever needs to be corrected, and mold as well as reinforce noble traits in you in the process. We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
YÁOHU Ulhím upholds the humble and lowly. Blessed is he who speaks with humble tongue and heart to all. Humility eliminates envy. Repentance begins with humility. Learn from YÁOHU Ulhím, the Creator: He revealed Himself on Sinai, not on high mountains, in a bush, not in majestic trees. The true test of humility is in your attitude to subordinates. Love humility and prolong your blessed life. Only love can dominate fear.
If you read the first chapters of the Scriptural book of Bereshít (Genesis), you will find out that YÁOHU Ulhím had already developed deep fellowship with Adam even before Khavyáo was created. One of the major purposes why YÁOHU Ulhím created man was to have fellowship with Him, so He could have someone to commune with, care and provide for, love and protect; someone who could love Him back with all his mind, heart, soul and vigor. YÁOHUtz-kaq was often in the field meditating on YÁOHU Ulhím even before he met his wife. And because he always put YÁOHU Ulhím first, he was blessed with a loving, faithful and upright wife. As long the husband is seeking YÁOHU Ulhím, YÁOHU Ulhím makes him to prosper. The wife therefore would be wise to encourage her husband to seek YÁOHU Ulhím more and more, for the more she reverentially honors YÁOHU Ulhím this way, the more YÁOHU Ulhím will motivate the husband to love her as YÁOHU Ulhím would.
This is so because the man would be loving his wife from the love that YÁOHU Ulhím imbues him with, the spiritual kind of love which remains faithful and endures all. A husband who is out of fellowship with YÁOHU Ulhím would automatically be out of fellowship with his own wife and children. A husband who senses that his wife and children are gradually decreasing their fellowship with or desire for him should quickly examine his own relationship with and desire for YÁOHU Ulhím and make sure that his fellowship with Him is continual, harmonious and profound. When you seek YÁOHU Ulhím first, all the other things shall be added unto you. YÁOHU Ulhím first, that is the wise move. The wife can measure the degree of fellowship her husband has with YÁOHU Ulhím by the measure of interest gam desire the husband has for prayer and reading of His Word. A prudent wife would tell her husband how she is pleased, elated and encouraged whenever she sees her husband praying to YÁOHU Ulhím and reading His Word. Or the wife may ask queries or seek counsel which she knows would require the husband to seek YÁOHU Ulhím more and more by prayer, reading of His Word, going on fasts and rendering praises and worship unto YÁOHU Ulhím.
'So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed. On the seventh day, having finished His task, YÁOHU Ulhím took rest from all His work. And YÁOHU Ulhím blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when He took rest from His work of creation. This is the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth. When YÁOHU Ulhím made the heavens and the earth, there were no plants or grain growing on the earth, for YÁOHU Ulhím had not given rain yet. And no one was there to cultivate the soil. But water came up out of the ground and watered all the land. And YÁOHU Ulhím formed a man's body from the dust of the ground and breathed into it the breath of life. And the man became a living person! Then YÁOHU Ulhím planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he placed the man he had created. And YÁOHU Ulhím planted all sorts of trees in the garden - beautiful trees that yielded delectable fruit. In the middle of the garden He placed the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Upright and Bad. A river flowed from the land of Eden, watering the garden and then dividing into four branches. One of these branches is the Pishon, which flows around the entire land of Havilah, where gold is found. The gold of that land is exceptionally pure; aromatic resin and onyx gems are also found there. The second branch is the Gihon, which flows around the entire land of Cush. The third branch is the Tigris, which flows to the east of Asshur. The fourth branch is the Euphrates. YÁOHU Ulhím placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and care for it. But YÁOHU Ulhím gave him this warning: 'You may freely eat any fruit in the garden except fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Upright and Bad. If you eat of its fruit, you will surely die.' And YÁOHU Ulhím said, 'It is not proper for the man to be alone. I will make a companion who will help him.' So YÁOHU Ulhím formed from the soil every kind of animal and bird. He brought them to Adam to see what he would call them, and Adam gave a name for each one. He gave names to all the livestock, birds, and wild animals. But still there was no companion suitable for him. So YÁOHU Ulhím caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep. He took one of Adam's ribs and closed up the place from which he had taken it. Then YÁOHU Ulhím made a woman from the rib and brought her to Adam. 'At last!' Adam exclaimed. 'She is part of my own flesh and bone! She will be called 'woman,' because she was taken out of a man.' This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and the two are united into one. Now, although Adam and his wife were both naked, neither of them felt any shame.' - Bereshít (Genesis) 2, Holy Scriptures YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
'Don't team up with those who are unbelievers. How can uprightness be in fellowship with wickedness? How can light live with darkness?' - 2 Corinthians 6:14 'We are telling you about what we ourselves have actually seen and heard, in order that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with YÁOHU ABí (the Father) and with His Son, YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.' - 1 YÁOHU-khánam (John) 1:3 'So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with YÁOHU UL but go on living in spiritual darkness. We would not be living in the truth, in that case. But if we are living in the light of YÁOHU UL's presence, just like hol-MEHUSHKHÁY does, we have fellowship then with each other, and the 'DAM' (blood) of YAOHÚSHUA, His Son, cleanses us from every sin.' - 1 YÁOHU-khánam 1:6-7
HARMONY which is the opposite of DISCORD
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....PEACE.' - Gal. 5:22
You will make daily time for profound, solemn fellowship with YÁOHU Ulhím, by prayer, reading His Word, going on fasts, offering praises and worship, expressions of gratitude and always giving top priority to your spiritual obligations unto Him, and encouraging, admonishing and reminding each in your family to maintain their deep communion and fellowship with YÁOHU Ulhím always. We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Worship YÁOHU Ulhím in the beauty of His holiness; tremble before Him all the earth. While the breath of life is with me, I will worship You, Sovereign YÁOHU Ulhím, and Molkhiúl (Ruler) of all souls. It is better to take refuge in YÁOHU Ulhím than to trust upon others; it is better to take refuge in YÁOHU Ulhím than to rely upon princes. Trust fully in YÁOHU Ulhím with all your heart, and lean not upon your own comprehension. Who fully trusts in YÁOHU Ulhím fears no human. They trust upon the multitude of their troops but we trust fully in YÁOHU Ulhím Who can save by many or by few. Tough times never last; tough people do.
Said the feet to the mouth, 'You are the most lucky thing on earth. You are forever getting the best of me. Here I am, running around all day, wearing myself out. And all for the sake of your eating!' Retorted the mouth: 'Don't accuse me! How would you like it if I stopped eating so you could stop running around?'
So YÁOHUtz-kaq (Isaac) called for YÁOHU-caf (Jacob) and blessed him and said to him, 'Never marry one of these Canaanite girls. On the contrary, go at once to Paddan-Aram, to the house of your grandfather - Bethu-Úl, and marry one of your cousins - your uncle Laván's daughters. YÁOHU UL Tzavulyáo (the Commander of Heaven's Armies) bless you and give you many children; may you become a great nation of many tribes! May YÁOHU UL pass on to you and to your offsprings the mighty blessings promised to Abruhám. May you own this land where we now are foreigners, for YÁOHU UL has given it to Abruhám.' So YÁOHUtz-kaq sent YÁOHU-caf away, and he went to Paddan-Aram to visit his uncle Laván, his mother's brother - the son of Bethu-Úl, the Aramean. Esau realized that his father despised the local girls, and that his father and mother had sent YÁOHU-caf to Paddan-Aram, with his father's blessing, to get a wife from there, and that they had seriously warned him against marrying a Canaanite girl and that YÁOHU-caf had agreed and had left for Paddan-Aram. So Esau went to his uncle Ishma-Úl's family and married another wife from there, besides the wives he already had. Her name was Mahalath, the female sibling of Nebaioth, and daughter of Ishma-Úl, Abruhám's son. So YÁOHU-caf left Beer-Shéba and journeyed toward Haran. That night, when he stopped to camp at sunset, he found a rock for a head support and lay down to sleep, and dreamed that a ladder reached from earth to heaven, and he saw the angels of YÁOHU Ulhím going up and down upon it! At the top of the ladder arose YÁOHU UL. 'I am YÁOHU UL,' He said, 'the UL of Abruhám, and of your father YÁOHUtz-kaq. The ground you are lying on is yours! I will give it to you and to your offsprings. For you will have offsprings as many dust! They will cover the land from east to west, from north to south; and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through you and your offsprings. What's more, I am with you, and will protect you wherever you go, and will bring you back safely to this land; I will be with you continually until I have finished giving you all I am promising.' Then YÁOHU-caf woke up. 'YÁOHU UL lives here!' he exclaimed in terror. 'I've stumbled into His home! This is the awesome entrance to heaven!' The next morning he rose up very early and set his rock headrest upright as a memorial pillar, and poured olive oil over it. He named the place 'Bayit-Úl' ('Bayit-UL - House of YÁOHU UL'), though the previous name of the nearest village was Luz. And YÁOHU-caf vowed this vow to YÁOHU UL: 'If YÁOHU UL will help and protect me on this my journey and give me food and clothes, and will bring me back safely to my father, then I will take YÁOHU as my UL. And this memorial pillar shall become a place for worship; and I will give You back a tithe (tenth portion) of everything You give me!'
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
'A worthy wife is her husband's happiness and crown; the other kind corrodes his energy and ruins everything he does!' - Proverbs 12:4 'If you can find a truly noble wife, she is worth more than valuable gems! Her husband can trust fully in her, and she will richly satisfy his needs. She will not hinder him, but help him all her life.' - Proverbs 31:10-11 'Worship only YÁOHU Ulhím, Who brought you out of Egypt with such mighty miracles and power. You must worship Him and bow before Him; offer sacrifices to Him alone.' - 2 Kings 17:36 'Give to YÁOHU Ulhím the glory He deserves! Bring your offering and come to worship Him. Worship YÁOHU Ulhím in all His holy splendor.' - 1 Chronicles 16:29 'Give honor to YÁOHU Ulhím for the glory of His Shúam (Name). Worship YÁOHU Ulhím in the splendor of His holiness.' - Tehillím (Psalms) 29:2
'Everything on earth will worship You;
'Come, let us worship and bow down.
'Exalt YÁOHU, our YÁOHU Ulhím!
'Let us go to the dwelling place of YÁOHU Ulhím;
'I bow before Your holy Temple as I worship. 'In the end, the enemies of Yaohúshua-oléym who survive the plague will go up to Yaohúshua-oléym each year to worship the King, YÁOHU UL Tzavulyáo (The Commander of Heaven's Armies), and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. And any nation anywhere in the world that refuses to come to Yaohúshua-oléym to worship the King, YÁOHU UL Tzavulyáo, will have no rain!' - Zochar-YÁOHU. 14:16-17
'Get out of here, ha-satán,' YAOHÚSHUA told him. 'You must worship YÁOHU your UL; and serve only Him!'' - Manaím-YÁOHU (Matthew) 4:10 'Look! I will force those who belong to ha-satán - those liars who say they are 'YAOHÚ-dim' (Jews) but are not - to come and bow down at your feet. They will acknowledge that you are the ones I truly love.' - Revelation 3:9 'Fear YÁOHU Ulhím,' he hollered. 'Give glory to Him! For the time has come when He will sit as Judge. Worship Him Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all the springs of water.' - Revelation 14:7
'Who will not fear, O YÁOHU Ulhím, and glorify Your Shúam (Name)?
REVERENCE which is the opposite of DISRESPECT
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....FAITHFULNESS.' - Gal. 5:22
You will set aside a specific time daily, in a specific quiet place your fellowship time and devotional unto YÁOHU Ulhím, and really make time and effort to attend to it regularly, seeking YÁOHU Ulhím continually. We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
If YÁOHU Ulhím does not approve, no insect can even move. What YÁOHU Ulhím has decreed no man can stop. YÁOHU Ulhím is My Shepherd, I shall not be in lack. YÁOHU Ulhím's anger is but for a moment, but His favor is for a lifetime! The mountain may depart, the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you. We are the clay, YÁOHU Ulhím is the Potter. In our finest achievements it is not we who attain success, but YÁOHU Ulhím Who brings everything to fulfillment. YÁOHU Ulhím Who made this one rich can make him poor; and He Who made that one poor can easily make him rich! When are you His children? When you obey Him! YÁOHU Ulhím reigns, let the earth exult!
Sometimes we are helped by being hurt. A skilled medical man about to perform a delicate operation upon the ear said reassuringly, 'I may hurt you, but I will not injure you.' How often the Great Healer speaks to us the same message if we would only hearken! Richer life, more abundant health for every child of His, is His only purpose. Why defeat that purpose?
Dear friends, This letter is from me, Shaúl (Paul), appointed by YÁOHU UL to be the messenger of YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah); and from our dear brother YÁOHU-tam (Timothy). We are writing to all of you Yaohúshuahím (believers in the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA) there in Corinth and throughout Greece. May YÁOHU Abihúl (our Eternal Father) and Molkhiúl (King) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY bless each one of you, and give you peace. What a wonderful YÁOHU UL we have - He is the 'ABí' (Father) of our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, the Source of every mercy, and the One Who so wonderfully comforts and invigorates us in our difficulties and trials. And why does He do this? In order that when others are troubled, needing our sympathy and encouragement, we can pass on to them this same help and comfort YÁOHU UL has given us. You can be sure that the more we undergo sufferings for ha-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah), the more He will shower us with His comfort and encouragement. We are in deep trouble for bringing you YÁOHU UL's comfort and salvation. But in our trouble YÁOHU UL has comforted us - and this, too, to help you: to show you from our own experience how YÁOHU UL will tenderly comfort you when you undergo these same difficulties. He will give you the ability to endure! I think you ought to know, dear brethren, about the hard time we went through in Asia. We were really crushed, overwhelmed and feared we would never live through it. We felt we were doomed to die and saw how powerless we were to help ourselves; but that was beneficial, for then we put everything into the hands of YÁOHU UL, Who alone could save us, for He can even raise the dead. And He did help us, and saved us from a terrible death; yes, and we expect Him to do it again and again. But you must help us too, by praying for us. For much thanks and praise will be given to YÁOHU UL from you who see His amazing answers to your prayers for our safety! We are so glad that we can say with utter honesty that in all our dealings we have been pure and honest, quietly depending upon ha-Molkhiúl (the King) for His help, and not on our own skills. And that is even more true, if possible, about the way we have acted toward you. My letters have been direct and honest; nothing is written between the lines! And even though you don't know me very well (I hope someday you will), I want you to try to accept me and be proud of me, as you already are to some degree; just as I shall be of you on that day when our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA comes back again. It was because I was so sure of your comprehension and trust that I planned to stop by and see you on my way to Macedonia, as well as afterwards when I returned, so I could therefore be a double blessing to you and so you could send me on my way to YAOHÚ-dah (Judea). Then why, you may be asking, did I change my plan? Hadn't I really made up my mind yet? Or am I like a man of the world who says 'yes' when he really means 'no'? Never! As surely as YÁOHU UL is real, I am not that sort of person. My 'yes' means 'yes.' YÁOHU-tam and Silvanus and I have been telling you about YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, the Son of YÁOHU UL. He isn't One to say 'yes' when He means 'no.' He always does exactly what He says. He carries out and fulfills all of YÁOHU UL's promises, no matter how many of them there are; and we have told everyone how dependable He is, giving glory to His Shúam (Name). He is YÁOHU UL Who has made you and me into faithful Yaohúshuahím (believers) and commissioned us emissaries to proclaim the Glorious Message. He has put His seal upon us - His mark of ownership - and given us His 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Holy Spirit of YAOHÚSHUA) into our hearts as guarantee that we belong to Him, and as the first portion of all that He is going to give us. I call upon YÁOHU UL to witness against me if I am not telling the absolute truth: the reason I haven't come to visit you yet is that I don't want to weigh you down with a severe rebuke. When I come, although I can't do much to help your faith, for it is already edified, I want to be able to do something about your gladness; I want to make you happy, not sad. 2 Corinthians 1, Holy Scriptures YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
'A worthy wife is her husband's happiness and crown; the other kind corrodes his energy and ruins everything he does!' - Proverbs 12:4 'If you can find a truly noble wife, she is worth more than valuable gems! Her husband can trust fully in her, and she will richly satisfy his needs. She will not hinder him, but help him all her life.' - Proverbs 31:10-11 What a wonderful YÁOHU UL we have - He is the 'ABí' (Father) of our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, the Source of every mercy, and the One Who so wonderfully comforts and invigorates us in our difficulties and trials. And why does He do this? In order that when others are troubled, needing our sympathy and encouragement, we can pass on to them this same help and comfort YÁOHU UL has given us. You can be sure that the more we undergo sufferings for ha-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah), the more He will shower us with His comfort and endcouragement. We are in deep trouble for bringing you YÁOHU UL's comfort and salvation. But in our trouble YÁOHU UL has comforted us - and this, too, to help you: to show you from our own experience how YÁOHU UL will tenderly comfort you when you undergo these same difficulties. He will give you the ability to endure!
COURAGE which is the opposite of Discouragement
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....LONGSUFFERING.' - Gal. 5:22
You will take challenges, ordeals and trials as they come boldly, confidently and with full trust upon the enablement which YÁOHU UL solely provides to all those who ask for it. We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Be tough and of excellent courage! Courage is never to allow your actions be influenced by your fears. Money lost, actually nothing lost. Courage lost, all is lost. Exult not when your enemy falls. Envy not an enemy's prosperity; exult not at his adversity. An enemy is not hidden in adversity. Pray for an enemy as for yourself. Love your enemies. A man's enemies are those in his own house. When a man's ways are pleasing to YÁOHU Ulhím, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the subjugation of it. Said William Penn: 'Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it!' Oh, do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be tougher men. Tough times never last; tough people do. Do not pray for tasks equal to your abilities. Pray for abilities equal to your tasks.
Gratefulness involves being appreciative of benefits received or for difficulties removed; to be grateful means to be thankful and to feel gratified, satisfied and well pleased. A happy wife is she who is always grateful to YÁOHU Ulhím and to her husband for all that he has carried out and is currently doing for her and the whole family. The wife who maintains an attitude of gratefulness also projects a happy, cheerful and delightful demeanor to all those around. A happy wife is a crown to her husband, while an unhappy wife is a public rebuke, embarrassment and shame to her husband. It is as if the frown in the wife's face is yelling: 'Look, people, my husband doesn't know how to make me happy!' Expectation is the one thing the wife must avoid because it would ruin her grateful spirit and inner happiness. The wife must surrender and give all her expectations to YÁOHU Ulhím. Whatever YÁOHU Ulhím, through the husband, allows daily, in whatever small or greater degree, the wife should learn to be always grateful, contented, satisfied and happy. Men have the tendency to draw closer to women who are grateful, but are repelled by women who are unappreciative and hard to please. Some men try to control the expectations of their wives by giving them always less compared to what they expect; it is their way of teaching their wives to lower their expectations. A prudent wife would expect nothing and rely solely upon YÁOHU Ulhím for all that she may receive daily, and whatever little evidence of the husband's love she notices would spur her to grateful expressions of happiness and gladness unto YÁOHU Ulhím. A grateful wife is a happy wife. Therefore, wives should learn to be grateful and appreciative. Husbands love grateful wives. Learn how to be grateful, always. Gratefulness lead to happiness, contentment and satisfaction. And YÁOHU Ulhím loves grateful people!
I wait quietly before YÁOHU Ulhím,
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
So many enemies against one man -
To them I'm just a broken-down wall
They plan to topple me from my high rank.
They are friendly to my face,
I wait quietly before YÁOHU Ulhím,
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
My salvation and my honor come from YÁOHU Ulhím alone.
O my people, trust upon Him at all times.
From the greatest to the lowliest -
If you weigh them on the scales, Don't try to get rich by forcible violence or robbery.
And if your wealth increases,
YÁOHU Ulhím has spoken plainly,
Power, O YÁOHU Ulhím, belongs to You;
Surely You judge all people Tehillím (Psalms) 62, Holy Scriptures YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
'Give 'hodayáo' (thanks) to the YÁOHU Ulhím and proclaim His greatness. Let the whole world know what He has made.' - 1 Chronicle 16:8
'Give 'hodayáo' to the YÁOHU Ulhím, for He is noble! 'O YÁOHU Ulhím my Eternal Creator, I will give You 'hodayáo' forever!' - Tehillím (Psalms) 30:12
'We give 'hodayáo' to You, O YÁOHU Ulhím!
'Then we, Your people, the sheep of Your meadow,
'It is noble to give 'hodayáo' to YÁOHU Ulhím,
'May all who are upright be happy in YÁOHU Ulhím
'Give 'hodayáo' to YÁOHU Ulhím and proclaim His greatness.
'Give 'hodayáo' to the YÁOHU Ulhím, for He is noble! 'When Dayan-Ul learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upper room, with its windows open toward Yaohúshua-oléym (Jerusalem). He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving 'hodayáo' to his YÁOHU Ulhím.' - Dayan-Ul 6:10 'Then He (YAOHÚSHUA) took the seven loaves and the fish, gave 'hodayáo' to YÁOHU Ulhím for them, broke them into pieces, and gave them to the disciples, who gave out the food to the crowd.' - ManYÁOHU (Matthew) 15:36 'And He took a cup of wine and gave 'hodayáo' to YÁOHU Ulhím for it. He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.' - Mark 14:23 'Then He took a cup of wine, and when He had given 'hodayáo' for it, He said, 'Take this and share it among yourselves.' - Luke 22:17 'Then He took a loaf of bread; and when He had given 'hodayáo' to YÁOHU Ulhím for it, He broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, 'This is My 'GAF' (body), given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.' - Luke 22:19 'Those who have a special day for worshiping ha-Molkhiul are trying to honor Him. Those who eat all kinds of food do so in honor of ha-Molkhiul, since they give 'hodayáo' to YÁOHU Ulhím before eating. And those who won't eat everything also want to please ha-Molkhiúl and give 'hodayáo' to YÁOHU Ulhím.' - Romans 14:6 'Hodayáo' be to YÁOHU Ulhím, Who made us His captives and leads us along in hol-MEHUSHKHÁY's triumphal parade. Now wherever we go, He uses us to tell others about ha-Molkhiúl and to spread the Glorious Message like a sweet perfume.' - 2 Corinthians 2:14 'Obscene tales, foolish talk and coarse jokes - these are not for you. On the contrary, let there be expressions of gratefulness to YÁOHU Ulhím.' - Ephesians 5:4 'And you will always give 'hodayáo' for everything to YÁOHU ABí, the Father, 'be hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.' - Ephesians 5:20 'And whatever you do or say, let it be as a representative of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA, all the while giving 'hodayáo' through Him to YÁOHU ABí.' - Colossians 3:17 'I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As you make your requests, plead for YÁOHU Ulhím's mercy upon them, and give 'hodayáo'.' - 1 YÁOHU-tam (Timothy) 2:1 'With the help of YAOHÚSHUA, let us continually offer our sacrifice of praise to YÁOHU Ulhím by proclaiming the glory of His Shúam.' - Hebrews 13:15 And they said,
'We give 'hodayáo' to You, YÁOHU UL Tzavulyáo,
GRATEFULNESS which is the opposite of Unthankfulness
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....GLADNESS.' - Gal. 5:22
You will practice and train yourself in always being grateful to YÁOHU Ulhím and all those around you who, in some way or another, are being used by YÁOHU Ulhím to help and enrich you in many different ways, while at the same time giving all your expectations fully to YÁOHU Ulhím alone, expecting nothing yet always grateful for as well as in everything! We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
The man who wants a woman who is kind, wise and beautiful doesn't want one; he wants really three of them. Miracles were performed for scriptural heroes because they sacrificed their lives for the sanctification of the Shúam (Name). To avoid a transgression or to perform a precept, not from fear or ambition but purely out of love for YÁOHU Ulhím, is to sanctify His Shúam (Name) publicly. YÁOHU Ulhím retains not His anger forever, for He delights in mercy. Never yearn for things beyond your reach. Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire no one else upon the earth. Work done for love's sake seems short, easy and satisfying. His wife looked back and she became a pillar of salt. Magnified and sanctified be His great Shúam (Name) in the world which He created based upon His will.
Several years ago some German immigrants to America brought over this tale of a woman living on a farm in Germany who brought to her congregation elders an amount in German money equivalent to about $500 in American money. As she laid down the money she said: 'In former years I have had to pay about this amount in medicine. This year there has been no sickness in our family. I want to show my gratitude to YÁOHU UL in this way.' Some time later this same woman again came to her elder with about $300, explaining that many of her neighbors had suffered some losses in a recent weather-related mishap, but that her farm had been spared. 'I bring to the Congregation this donation as my offering of gratefulness!'
A contented wife is a happy wife, do you know that? Contentment means the inward condition of the heart and soul which is well-pleased, well-satisfied and wanting no more. 'YÁOHU UL RO-ÉH is My Shepherd, I shall not want,' which implies contentment, satisfaction and inner happiness at YÁOHU Ulhím's provisions and blessings. Contentment deems as sufficient all that YÁOHU UL gives, provides and allows daily for one's present happiness. Contentment limits oneself in requirements, wants and actions; it is appeasing one's desires and wants. All the riches and wealth in this world can never make anyone a bit happy if he doesn't know how to be contented. The wife must learn contentment with purity and holiness. The first step is to train the wife and the children to set, fix their affections on things above, and not merely on things on earth:
Also, whenever material things or wealth increase, one should not fix his focus on them, but should remain fixed upon things above. It is vital to let the wife and children know that material assets compete with YAOHÚSHUA for affection, priority and time. Dedicate material assets to YÁOHU UL in exchange for more of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY. You cannot serve both YÁOHU UL and money with 'worldly things' at the same time; you will hate one and love the other, or the other way around. Where your real treasure is, there your heart will also be. Contentment should be learned, not merely taught and said. Regular correct practice results in perfect fruition of the desired noble trait - contentment. And remember, when things are taken away by loss or otherwise, you must exult, be happy and be glad, for you know that when you think of them as given away to those in need, YÁOHU Ulhím will multiply them back to you. YÁOHU Ulhím and the husband do love the contented, happy wife!
Whatever happens, dear friends, be glad in Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA. I never get tired of telling you this and it is beneficial for you to hear it again and again! Watch out for those wicked men - dangerous dogs, I call them - who say you must be circumcised to be saved. For it isn't the cutting of our bodies that makes us children of YÁOHU UL; it is worshiping Him with our spirits. That is the only true 'circumcision.' We Yaohúshuahím glory in what hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA has carried out for us and realize that we are helpless to save ourselves. Yet if anyone ever had reason to hope that he could save himself, it would be I. If others could be saved by what they are, surely then I could! For I went through the YAOHÚ-dim initiation ceremony when I was eight days old, having been born into a pure-blooded YAOHÚ-dim home that was a branch of the old original Benyamin family. So I was a real YAOHÚ-dee if there ever was one! What's more, I was a member of the Pharisees who demand the most rigorous obedience to every YAOHÚ-di law and custom. And genuine? Yes, so much so that I greatly persecuted the Oholyáo (Congregation); and I tried to obey every YAOHÚ-di rule and regulation right down to the very last point. But all these that I once thought very worthwhile - now I've thrown them all away so I can put my trust as well as hope in hol-MEHUSHKHÁY alone. Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA, my Molkhiúl. I have put aside all else, counting it as if they were dung, in order that I can have hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, and become one with Him, no longer counting on being saved by being upright enough or by obeying YÁOHU UL's laws, but by relying fully upon hol-MEHUSHKHÁY to save me. For YÁOHU UL's way of making us right with Himself depends on faith - counting on hol-MEHUSHKHÁY alone. Now I have given up everything else - I have found it to be the only way to really know hol-MEHUSHKHÁY and to experience the mighty power that brought Him back to life again, and to find out what it means to suffer and to die with Him. So, whatever it takes, I will be one who lives in the fresh newness of life of those who are alive from the dead! I don't mean to say I am perfect. I haven't learned all I should even yet, but, I keep working toward that day when I will finally be all that hol-MEHUSHKHÁY saved me for and wants me to be. No dear brethren, I am still not all I should be but I am bringing all my energies to bear on this particular point: Forgetting the past by looking forward to what lies ahead, I endeavor to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which YÁOHU UL is calling us up to heaven because of what hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA did for us. I hope all of you who are mature Yaohúshuahím will see eye-to-eye with me on these matters, and if you disagree on some point, I believe that YÁOHU UL will make it plain to you - if you fully obey the truth you have. Dear brethren, pattern your lives after mine and notice who else lives up to my example. For I have told you often before, and I say it again now with tears in my eyes, there are many who walk along the Yaohúshuahím road who are really enemies of the stake of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY. Their future is eternal doom, for their idol is their appetite: they are proud of what they should be ashamed of; and all they think about is this life here on earth. But our homeland is in heaven, where our Savior the Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY is; and we are looking forward to His coming back from there. When He comes back He will take these dying bodies of ours and change them into glorious bodies like His own, using the same mighty power that He will use to conquer all else everywhere.
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Yaohúshuahím employees should work hard for their employers and respect them; never let it be said that the people of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah) are poor workers. Don't let the Shúam (Name) of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA or His teaching be laughed at because of this. If their employer is a Yaohúshuahée (believer), that is no excuse for slowing down; rather they should work all the harder because a brother in the faith is being helped by their efforts. Teach these vital truths, YÁOHU-tam, and encourage all to obey them. Some may deny these matters, but they are the sound, wholesome teachings of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY and are the foundation for an upright life. Anyone who says something else different is both proud and stupid. He is quibbling over the meaning of the words of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY and sparking arguments ending in jealousy and anger, which only lead to name-calling, accusations and evil suspicions. These arguers - their minds warped by sin - don't know how to tell the truth; to them the Glorious Message is just a means of making money. Keep away from them. Do you want to be truly rich? You already are if you are contented and upright. After all, we didn't bring any money with us when we came into the world, and we can't carry away a single penny when we die. So we should be well satisfied without money if we have enough food and clothing. But people who long to be rich soon begin to do all kinds of wrong activities just to get money, activities that harm them and make them evil-minded and finally send them to hell itself. For the lust for money is the first step toward all kinds of sin. Some people have even turned away from YÁOHU UL because of their passion for it, and as a result have pierced themselves with many sorrows. Oh, YÁOHU-tam, you are YÁOHU UL's man. Run from all these evil things and, on the contrary, work hard at what is right and pure, learning to trust Him and love others, and to be patient and gentle. Fight on for YÁOHU UL. Hold tightly to the eternal life which YÁOHU UL has given you, and which you have confessed with such a ringing confession before many witnesses. I command you before YÁOHU UL Who gives life to all, and before hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA Who gave a fearless testimony before Pontius Pilate, that you fulfill all He has told you to do, in order that no one can find fault with you from now until our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY returns. For in due time ha-MEHUSHKHÁY will be revealed from heaven by the blessed and only All-Powerful YÁOHU UL, the King of kings and Ruler of rulers, Who alone can never die, Who lives in light so brilliant that no human being can approach Him. No mere man has ever seen Him, nor ever will. Unto Him be honor and eternal power and dominion forever and ever. Am-náo. Tell those who are rich not to be proud and not to trust upon their money, which will soon be gone, but their pride and trust should be in the living YÁOHU UL Who always richly gives us all we need for our delight. Tell them to use their money in doing kindness. They should be rich in noble works and should give happily to those in need, always being ready to share with others whatever YÁOHU UL has given them. By doing this they will be treasuring up true riches for themselves in heaven - it is the only safe investment for eternity! And they will be living a fruitful Yaohúshua-kind of life down here as well. Oh, YÁOHU-tam, don't fail to do the duties that YÁOHU UL trustfully gave you. Keep out of stupid arguments with those who boast of their 'knowledge' and thus prove their lack of it. Some of these people have missed the most important thing in life: they don't know YÁOHU UL. May YÁOHU UL's mercy be upon you.
CONTENTMENT which is the opposite of Greed
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....SELF-CONTROL.' - Gal. 5:23
You will learn to practice in yourself and train those in your family how to be contented, satisfied and well-pleased with whatever YÁOHU Ulhím gives or allows daily, knowing that real happiness is the outcome of inner contentment and gratefulness. We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
The soul intent on physical pleasures or worldly things is hammered like upon an anvil. Materialistic thinking is nothing else but organized emptiness of the spirit. All material things pass away, are lost, afterward turn back to nothing, because they are not true reality. Though a person live a thousand years, yet at his death, it seems to him as though he had lived but an hour. The liberal in charity increases his own wealth.
If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you can bet their water bill is higher! Even if you sleep in a thousand mat rooms, you can only sleep on one mat. - Japanese Proverb To the discontented person, no chair is easy. Who is really rich? He that is content. Not he who has little, but he, who always wishes for more, is poor. Prefer rather to want less, than to have more. A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let go of gladly. One hundred years ago it was figured that the average American had 70 wants. A similar survey taken recently showed his grandson had nearly 500 on his list. In a cemetery in England is found a grave marker with this inscription: SHE DIED FOR WANT OF THINGS. Alongside that sign is another which reads: HE DIED TRYING TO GIVE THEM TO HER.
A Husband Needs A Wife Who Appreciates....
There is now therefore no more condemnation awaiting those who belong to hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA. For the power of the life-giving 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) - and this power is mine through hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA - has freed me from the endless cycle of sin and death. We aren't saved from sin's grasp by knowing the commands of YÁOHU UL, because we can't and don't keep them, but YÁOHU UL put into effect a different plan to save us. He sent His own Son in a human body like ours - except that ours are sinful - and crushed sin's control over us by giving Himself as a sacrifice for our sins. So now we can obey YÁOHU UL's laws if we follow after the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' and no longer obey the old evil nature within us. Those who let themselves be controlled by their lower natures live only to please themselves, but those who follow after the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' find themselves doing those deeds that please YÁOHU UL. Following after the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' leads to life and peace, but following after the old nature leads to death, because the old sinful nature within us is against YÁOHU UL. It never did obey YÁOHU UL's laws and it never will. That's why those who are still under the control of their old sinful selves, bent on following their old evil desires, can never please YÁOHU UL. But you are not like that. You are controlled by your new nature, if you have the 'RÚKHA-YÁOHU' (Spirit of YÁOHU UL) living in you. (And remember that if anyone doesn't have the 'RÚKHA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY' (Spirit of the Messiah) living in him, he is not a Yaohúshuahée at all.) Yet, even though hol-MEHUSHKHÁY indwells you, your body will still die because of sin; but your 'rúkha' (spirit) will live, because hol-MEHUSHKHÁY has pardoned it. And if the 'RÚKHA-YÁOHU,' Who raised up YAOHÚSHUA from the dead, lives in you, He will make your dying bodies live again, after you die, by means of this same 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' living within you. Therefore, dear brethren, you have no obligation whatever to your old sinful nature to do what it begs you to do. For if you keep on following it you are lost, surely to perish, but if through the power of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' you crush it and its evil deeds, you shall live. For all who are led by the 'RÚKHA-YÁOHU' are children of YÁOHU UL. And so we should not be like cringing, fearful slaves, but we should behave like YÁOHU UL's very own children, adopted into the bosom of His family, and calling unto Him, 'ABí, YÁOHU ABí' (Father, Father). For His 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' speaks to us deep in our hearts, and tells us that we really are YÁOHU UL's children. And since we are His children, we will share His treasures - for all YÁOHU UL gives to His Son YAOHÚSHUA is now ours too. But if we are to share His glory, we must also share His suffering. Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will give us later. For all creation is waiting patiently and hopefully for that future day when YÁOHU UL will resurrect His children. For on that day thorns and thistles, sin, death and decay - the things that overcame the world against its will - at YÁOHU UL's command, will all disappear, and the world around us will share in the glorious freedom from sin which YÁOHU UL's children have. For we know that even the things of nature, like animals and plants, suffer in sickness and death as they await this great event. And even we Yaohúshuahím (believers), although we have the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' within us as a foretaste of future glory, also groan to be released from pain and suffering. We, too, wait eagerly for that day when YÁOHU UL will give us our full rights as His children, including the new bodies He has promised us - bodies that will never be sick again and will never die. We are saved by fully relying. And fully relying means looking forward to getting something we don't yet have - because a man who already has something doesn't need to hope and trust that he will get it. But if we must keep depending fully upon YÁOHU UL for something that hasn't happened yet, it teaches us to wait patiently and confidently. And in the same way - by our faith - the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' helps us with our daily difficulties and in our praying. For we don't even know what we should pray for, nor how to pray as we should; but the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' prays for us with such feeling that it cannot be expressed in words. And YÁOHU ABí (the Father) Who knows all hearts knows, of course, what the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) is saying as He pleads for us in harmony with YÁOHU UL's own will. And we know that all that happens to us is working for our benefit, if we love YÁOHU UL and are fitting into His plans. For from the very beginning YÁOHU UL concluded that those who came to Him - and all along He knew who would - should become like His Son, so His Son would be the First, with many brethren. And having selected us, He called us to come to Him; and when we came, He declared us 'not punishable,' filled us with hol-MEHUSHKHÁY's rectitude, gave us right relationship with Himself, and promised us His glory. What can we ever say to such wonderful matters as these? If YÁOHU UL is on our side, who can ever be against us? Since He did not spare even His own Son for us but gave Him up for us all, won't He also surely give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom YÁOHU UL has selected for His own? Will YÁOHU UL? No! He is the One Who has forgiven us and given us right relationship with Himself. Who then will condemn us? Will hol-MEHUSHKHÁY? No! For He is the One Who died for us and came back to life again for us and now sits at the place of highest honor next to YÁOHU UL, pleading there in heaven for us. Who then can ever keep hol-MEHUSHKHÁY's love from us? When we have trouble or calamity, when we are hunted down or ruined, is it because He doesn't love us anymore? And if we are hungry, or penniless, or in danger, or threatened with death, has YÁOHU UL forsaken us? No, for the Scriptures tell us that for His sake we must be ready to face death at every moment of the day - we are like sheep awaiting slaughter; but despite all this, overwhelming victory is ours through hol-MEHUSHKHÁY Who loved us enough to die for us. For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from His love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels won't, and all the power of hell itself cannot keep YÁOHU UL's love away. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, or where we are - high above the sky, or in the deepest ocean - nothing will ever be able to separate us from the love of YÁOHU UL shown by our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY when He died for us. Romans 8, Holy Scriptures YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) is love, happiness, peace, patience, kindness, uprightness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.' - Galatians 5:22-23
Appreciative which is the opposite of Being Thankless
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....HAPPINESS.' - Gal. 5:22
You will actually list the things that those closest to you are doing for your own benefit and also, make another list which contain those which they don't and avoid to do for your sake. We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
As one hand washes the other, so must you help another. Do not help evil, and evil will not befall you. How does it benefit anyone even if he gains the whole world yet lose his own soul in the process? Idle talk leads to poverty. A proper wife is she who does her husband's will. Every man gets the wife that he actually deserves. All wives must give honor to their husbands, great or small.
It has often been pointed out that thinking precedes the giving of 'hodayáo' (thanks). When we are given a gift, it is because we think of its significance and meaning that we are led to express our gratefulness; we appreciate the gift after careful thought and deliberation. What, then, are the thoughts that, entertained by the believer, lead to thanksgiving? Somewhere in our thinking there should be thoughts of YÁOHU Ulhím. Perhaps we should begin there. YÁOHU Ulhím - what a train of thoughts should begin when we think of Him! Power, wisdom, kindness, favor, love, care: these are just some of the thoughts that surround the Shúam (Name) of YÁOHU Ulhím. When Shaúl traces the downward path of mankind, he begins by saying that people, 'when they knew YÁOHU Ulhím,... glorified Him not as the Eternal Creator, neither were they grateful' (Romans 1:21). People were not thankful that they had a revelation of YÁOHU Ulhím; indeed, they sought to suppress that knowledge and to evade its power. In addition to thoughts of YÁOHU Ulhím, there should be thoughts of ourselves. We should see our own insignificance in the light of the facts we know about YÁOHU Ulhím. We should see and confess our own frailty and failures. We should admit and renounce our bondage to earthly things. And we should not stop there. We should think thoughts about our privileges in our Messiah YAOHÚSHUA. YÁOHU UL has loved us and made us significant, through giving His Son to die for us. The Father, YÁOHU ABí, has accepted us in the Much Loved Son. In the light of these thoughts, we should be led to think of our responsibilities. We are now responsible to live for the glory of YÁOHU Ulhím. Redeemed, we should seek to serve Him faithfully. We should recognize our responsibility to always be grateful, and from our lips there should come a daily song of praise. Then, why is it that we are not more thankful? The truth probably is that we don't stop to think. The cares and riches and pleasures of this life choke the plant of gratitude, and our lives become unfruitful. Thanksgiving is thus really the product of careful cultivation. It is the fruit of a deliberate resolve to think about YÁOHU Ulhím, ourselves, and our privileges and responsibilities. By giving 'hodayáo' (thanks) to YÁOHU Ulhím, we make manifest the fact that our lives are not controlled by the imperious cares and concerns of this life! We give testimony to the fact that material things do not dictate the horizons of our soul! Always give 'hodayáo' to YÁOHU Ulhím, therefore, in everything!
'When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the upright.' - Luke 14:12-14 - A wife should never attempt to resolve the problems of her husband in her own way without the husband's prior approval and consent!
If you can find a truly noble wife, she is worth more than valuable gems! Her husband can trust fully in her, and she will richly satisfy his needs. She will not hinder him, but help him all her life. She finds wool and flax and busily spins it. She buys imported foods, brought by ship from far-away ports. She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household, and plans the day's work for her servant girls. She goes out to inspect a field, and buys it; with her own hands she plants a vineyard. She is vigorous; a hard worker, and watches for bargains. She works far into the night! She sews for the poor, and generously helps those in need. She has no fear of winter for her household, for she has made warm clothes for them all. She also makes coverings for her bed; her own clothing is beautifully made - a purple gown of pure linen. Her husband is well known, for he takes his seat among civic leaders in the council chamber. She makes belted linen garments to sell to the merchants. She is a woman of energy and dignity, and has no fear of old age. When she speaks, her words are wise, and kindness is the rule for everything she says. She watches carefully all that goes on throughout her household, and is never lazy. Her children rise up and bless her; so does her husband. He praises her with these words: 'There are many fine women in the world, but you are the best of them all!' Charm can be deceptive and beauty doesn't last, but a woman who reverentially fears YÁOHU UL shall be greatly praised. Praise her for the many excellent deeds she does. These kind, noble deeds of hers shall bring her honor and recognition from people of renown. Maush'léi (Proverbs) 31:10-31, Holy Scriptures YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
But as for you, speak up for the right living that goes along with the true faith of YAOHÚSHUA. Teach the older men to be serious and unruffled; they must be sensible, knowing and believing the truth and doing everything with love and patience. Teach the older women to be quiet and respectful in everything they do. They must not go around speaking evil of others and must not be heavy drinkers, but they should be teachers of what is right. These older women must teach and train the younger women to live quietly, to love their husbands and their children, and to be sensible and clean-minded, spending their time in their own homes, being kind and obedient to their respective husbands, in order that the YAOHÚSHUA-kind of faith can't be spoken against by those who know them. In the same way, urge the young men to behave carefully, taking life seriously. And here you yourself must be an example to them of noble deeds of every kind. Let everything you do reflect your love of the truth and the fact that you really are serious about it. Your discourse should be very sensible and reasonable that anyone who wants to argue will be ashamed of himself because there won't be anything to criticize in anything you say! Urge workers to obey their employers and to try their best to satisfy them. They must not talk back, nor steal, but must show themselves to be entirely dependable. In this way they will make people want to believe in our YÁOHU UL and Savior. For the free gift of eternal salvation is now being offered to everyone; and along with this gift comes the awareness that YÁOHU UL wants us say 'No' to unholiness and sinful pleasures and to live upright, YÁOHU-UL-fearing lives day after day, looking forward to that wonderful time we've been expecting, when His glory shall be seen - the glory of our great UL and Savior YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY. He died under YÁOHU UL's judgment against our sins, in order that He could rescue us from continual falling into sin and make us His very own people, with cleansed hearts and real eagerness for doing kind deeds for others. You must teach these matters and encourage your people to do them, correcting them, when necessary as one who has every right to do so. Don't let anyone think that what you say is not important. Titus 2, Holy Scriptures
Moral Excellence which is the opposite of Moral Decay
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....HAPPINESS.' - Gal. 5:22
Try to look for and recognize exemplary character traits and beautiful attitudes in wives and mothers, giving honor and praise to the highly deserving when appropriate and due. We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Polite and respectful manners reflect thoughtfulness of YÁOHU Ulhím and others. The stupid peeps and eavesdrops by the door, the careful acts humbly. Maturity implies otherness; the art of living is the art of living with. Happy is he who hears himself abused and ignores it, for a hundred evils will pass him by. We shall bless them who cursed us, and we shall lift up those who by oppression downtrodded us. The offended who do not offend; the reviled who do not revile; they who act out of profound love for others and are glad even in the midst of their trials, are like the sun in its might!
During the course of World War II, many people gained fame in one way or another. One man was Butch O'Hare. He was a fighter pilot assigned to an aircraft carrier in the Pacific. One time his whole squadron was assigned to fly a particular mission. After he was airborne, he looked at his fuel gauge and realized that someone had neglected to top off his fuel tank. Because of this, he would not have enough fuel to complete his mission and get back to his ship. His flight leader told him to leave formation and return. As he was returning to the mother ship, he could see a squadron of Japanese Zeroes heading toward the naval fleet to attack. And with all the fighter planes gone, the fleet was almost defenseless. His was the only opportunity to confuse and divert them. Single-handedly, he dove into the formation of Japanese planes and attacked them. The American fighter planes were rigged with cameras, so as they flew and fought, pictures were taken so pilots could learn more about the terrain, enemy maneuvers, and so on. Butch dove at them and shot until all his ammunition was gone, then he would dive and try to clip off a wing or tail or anything that would make the enemy planes unfit to fly. He did anything he could to keep them from reaching the American ships. Finally, the Japanese squadron took off in another direction, and Butch O'Hare and his fighter, both badly shot up, limped back to the aircraft carrier. He told his report, but not until the film from the camera on his plane was developed, did they realize the degree he really went to, to protect his naval fleet. He was recognized as a hero and given one of the nation's highest military honors. And as you know, the O'Hare Airport was also named after him. Prior to this time in Chicago, there was a man named Easy Eddie. He was working for a man you've all heard about, Al Capone. Al Capone wasn't famous for anything heroic, but he was notorious for the murders he'd committed and the illegal things he'd done. Easy Eddie was Al Capone's lawyer and he was very smart. In fact, because of his skill, he was able to keep Al Capone out of jail. To show his gratitude, Al Capone paid him very well. He not only earned big money, he would get other things, like a house that filled an entire Chicago city block. The house was fenced, and he had live-in help and all of the conveniences of the time. Easy Eddie had a son. He loved his son and gave him all the best things while he was growing up: clothes, cars, and a fine education. And because he loved his son, he tried to teach him right from wrong. But one thing he couldn't give his son was a fine name, and a fine example. Easy Eddie concluded that this was much more important than all the riches that were given him. So, he went to the authorities in order to correct the wrong he had done. In order to tell the truth, it meant he must testify against Al Capone, and he knew that Al Capone would do his best to have him killed. But he wanted most of all to try to be an example and to do the best he could to give back to his son a fine name. So he testified. Within the year, he was shot, murdered and killed on a lonely alley in Chicago. This sounds like two unrelated tales. But Butch O'Hare was Easy Eddie's son. (Submitted by Michaul C.)
1. Every wife needs the stability, direction and guidance of a spiritual leader. It is inherent in women to look for spiritual leadership and direction from men who lead their lives fully under the chain of command of YÁOHU Ulhím. A wife in particular would find it easy to submit to her own husband when she can really observe and see that her husband is a dependable spiritual leader for her and the children. There are four major evidences of a stable and dependable spiritual leadership, and they are:
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As you make your requests, plead for YÁOHU Ulhím's mercy upon them, and be grateful. Pray this way for kings and all others who are in authority, in order that we can live in peace and quietness, in holiness and dignity. This is noble and pleases YÁOHU Ulhím our Savior, for He wants everyone to be saved and to comprehend the truth. For there is only one YÁOHU Ulhím and one Mediator Who can reconcile YÁOHU Ulhím and people. He is the Man hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA. He gave His life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message that YÁOHU Ulhím gave to the world at the proper time. And I have been appointed - this is the absolute truth - as a proclaimer and emissary to teach the Gentiles about faith and truth. So wherever you assemble, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to YÁOHU Ulhím, free from anger and controversy. And I want women to be modest by their appearance. They should wear decent, respectable and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. For women who claim to be devoted to YÁOHU Ulhím should make themselves attractive by the noble things they do. Women should hearken and learn quietly and submissively. I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them hearken quietly. For YÁOHU Ulhím made Adam first, and afterward He made Khavyáo. And it was the woman, not Adam, who was deceived by ha-satán, and sin was the result. But women will be saved through childbearing and by continuing to live in faith, love, holiness and modesty. 1 YÁOHU-tam (Timothy) 2, Holy Scriptures YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
'Glory in His holy Shúam (Name): let the heart of them exult that seek YÁOHU Ulhím. Seek YÁOHU Ulhím and His power, seek His face continually.' - 1 Chronicles 16:10-11 'Now determine in your heart and your soul to seek YÁOHU Ulhím your Creator Eternal; arise therefore, and build the Temple of YÁOHU Ulhím, to bring the ark of the covenant of YÁOHU Ulhím, and the holy vessels of YÁOHU Ulhím, into the house that is to be built to the Shúam (Name) of YÁOHU Ulhím.' - 1 Chron. 22:19 'And you, Shua-ólmoh my son, know YÁOHU Ulhím of your father, and serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for YÁOHU Ulhím searches all hearts, and comprehends all the imaginations of the thoughts: if you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you away forever.' - 1 Chronicles 28:9 'If My people, who are called by My Shúam (Name), shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.' - 2 Chronicles 7:14 'And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek YÁOHU Ulhím.' - 2 Chronicles 12:14 'And in every work that he began in the service of the house of YÁOHU Ulhím, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek His YÁOHU Ulhím, he did it with all his heart, and prospered!' - 2 Chronicles 31:21 'I would seek YÁOHU Ulhím, and unto YÁOHU Ulhím would I commit my cause.' - Yaoháv (Job) 5:8 'And they that know Your Shúam (Name) will put their trust in You: for You, YÁOHU Ulhím has not forsaken them who seek You.' - Tehillím (Psalms) 9:10 'The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise YÁOHU Ulhím who seek Him: your heart shall live forever!' - Tehillím 22:26 'Glory in His holy Shúam (Name): let the heart of them exult that seek YÁOHU Ulhím. Seek YÁOHU Ulhím, and His vigor: seek His face evermore.' - Tehillím (Psalms) 105:3-4
Uprightness which is the opposite of Wickedness
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....HAPPINESS.' - Gal. 5:22
If you haven't completely done so, it would be best to begin seeking YÁOHU Ulhím now by doing and giving top priority to the spiritual activities above-mentioned which are necessary steps in reaching out for YÁOHU Ulhím Himself and seeking His face, drawing close to Him that He likewise may draw closer to you. We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Seek YÁOHU Ulhím while He may be found. Seek YÁOHU Ulhím all you humble of the land. In the day of my trouble, I seek YÁOHU Ulhím. Happy are those who seek Him with the whole heart. At dawn I seek You, Rock and Refuge tried. Nothing is better than the discovery to the true Eternal Creator and His real Messiah YAOHUSHUA! YÁOHU Ulhím is ever to be sought. As long as he sought YÁOHU Ulhím, YÁOHU Ulhím made him to prosper!
The expressive power of the human eye is so amazing that it determines, in a manner, the expression of the whole countenance. It is almost impossible to disguise it. It is said that gamblers rely more upon the knowledge about the eye, to discover the condition of their opponents' game, than upon any other means. Chinese salesmen look at the eyes to determine if the prospective buyer would be willing to pay a higher price; the opening of the pupil of the eye widens when the individual is looking at something which highly pleases him. Even animals use the eyes in evaluating others' attitudes. The dog watches the eye of his boss, and discovers from it, before a word is even spoken, whether he is to expect a caress or receive a chastisement. It is said that the lion cannot attack a man so long as the man looks him fixedly in the eyes.
1. Every wife needs the stability, direction and guidance of a spiritual leader. It is inherent in women to look for spiritual leadership and direction from men who lead their lives fully under the chain of command of YÁOHU Ulhím. A wife in particular would find it easy to submit to her own husband when she can really observe and see that her husband is a dependable spiritual leader for her and the children. There are four major evidences of a stable and dependable spiritual leadership, and they are:
A conviction is the opposite of one's personal preference. A person's preference may vary from time to time, depending upon the prevailing predicament or surrounding events and contrary pressures, while one's own conviction does not. A conviction is something which you believe in no matter what happens, no matter who opposes you, and no matter what the rest of the world thinks about it. A person without any own individual conviction is like someone floating in the midst of the wide ocean, carried by currents in any which way it flows. In other words, he is merely floating in the sea of time and events, without any direction, without any particular point to go to. People who have no individual convictions of their own live meaningless lives and do come in and exit from this world without any significance at all, miserably spending vegetative lives. Those with their own individual convictions live meaningful lives and their lives are spent fruitfully and productively in bringing much glory to our Creator, YÁOHU UL. You must not merely float in this vast sea people and events. You must sail towards YÁOHU UL's purposes for which He has put you here, i.e. to glorify Him and obey His Word. One who sails towards particular purposes in life are never carried away by contrary currents in life and he resists those pressures which hinder his direct reach towards his goals set forth by YÁOHU UL in His Word. A conviction must be lived by, actually done in everyday life, and not merely subscribed to or given lip service. And it must not change. If one's conviction was true last week, it is always true this week and will be true next week, till forever. If one's conviction is right for adults, it must be definitely right for children also. No double moral norms, please. And not merely any worldly conviction will do. Your own primary convictions must be scriptural, in harmony with YÁOHU UL's Words, purposes, plans and goals for your own life. If you live by YÁOHU UL's scriptural convictions, you will be living your life that is really life, the eternal kind of life for which Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA came to give you, and reap all its benefits. 'And this is life eternal: to know You, YÁOHU UL, and the Messiah Whom You have sent - YAOHÚSHUA.' - YÁOHU-khánam (John) 17:3 If you don't live your life by YÁOHU UL's scriptural principles, you will in fact be sowing seeds of destruction in your family, your workplace and in your own personal life, and in the lives of your offsprings too. Why? Because one who does not live by YÁOHU UL's scriptural principles would be living by ha-satán's worldly principles, which are inherently ruinous, harmful and destructive. And this is the vital truth that now sets you free! What are the scriptural convictions YÁOHU UL gave in His Holy Writ by which we are expected to always live by and never deviate from, no matter what? My Own Primary Scriptural Convictions 1. YÁOHU UL is my true Creator and YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY is the true Messiah and my Savior Whom He has sent for my individual salvation, and Who is now living in my heart by His 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' as my Guide, Governor, Helper and Teacher. ''YÁOHU' - this is My Name forever by which I am to be called, remembered from generation to generation.' - Exodus 3:15 'Salvation is found in no one else for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved except: YAOHÚSHUA.' - Acts 4:12 The 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' shall be upon you and will be in you. When He comes, He will teach you and lead you into all truth. - YÁOHU-khánam (John) 14:17; 16:13 and 14:26 'If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask YÁOHU ABí (the Father), and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever - the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you.' - YÁOHU-khánam (John) 14:15-17 'This is life eternal: to know You, YÁOHU UL, and YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, the Messiah Whom You have sent.' - YÁOHU-khánam 17:3 2. YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY died to pay for all my sins, being my individual replacement, that I may inherit all of YÁOHU UL's promises in His Word and I therefore always live my life in loving service to Him with all my heart, with all my mind, my soul and vigor, and His plans for my life are those upon which I build my individual goals. 'For what I received I relayed on to you as of paramount importance: that ha-MEHUSHKHÁY died for our sins according to the Scriptures.' - 1 Corinthians 15:3 'For the love of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, and therefore all died. And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him Who died for them and was raised again.' - 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 'He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.' - 1 Thessalonians 5:10 3. The true 'Holy Writ' is the inspired Word of YÁOHU UL and is final authority and guiding principle in my life. 'You have been taught the Holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by fully depending on YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY. All Scripture is inspired by YÁOHU UL and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It rectifies us out and teaches us to do what is right. It is YÁOHU UL's way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every noble deed YÁOHU UL wants us to do.' - 2 YÁOHU-tam (Timothy) 3:15-17 4. My body is the living temple of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' and I will never allow it to be contaminated by anything immoral, wicked or evil, but I rather always offer my body unto YÁOHU UL as a pure and pleasing sacrifice, every part of it is always used for His upright and noble purposes, for He owns it. 'Do you not know that your body is a temple of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' Who is in you, Whom you have received from YÁOHU UL? You are no longer the owner of your body; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor YÁOHU UL with your body.' - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 'Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body to obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as tools of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to YÁOHU UL, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to Him as tools of uprightness.' - Romans 6:12-13 'Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the reverential fear of YÁOHU UL.' - 2 Corinthians 7:1 'May YÁOHU UL Himself, YÁOHU UL Shua-oléym (the UL of Peace), sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.' - 1 Thessalonians 5:23 5. Ohól YAOHÚSHUA is the Body of the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA to which I belong, and I do always support and actively participate in, and from which I receive my spiritual nourishment, being the source of truth from YÁOHU UL's written Words, that I may grow spiritually mature until fully conformed to the character of my Ódmorul YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY. 'Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in ha-MEHUSHKHÁY we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.' - Romans 12:4-5 'By the undeserved favor which YÁOHU UL has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder....but each one should be careful how he builds. For no one can establish any other foundation besides that One already established, Who is YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.' - 1 Corinthians 3:10-11 'Don't you know that you yourselves altogether are YÁOHU UL's Temple and that the 'RÚKHA-YÁOHU' lives in you? If anyone ruins YÁOHU UL's Temple, YÁOHU UL will ruin him; for YÁOHU UL's Temple is sacred, and you are that Temple.' - 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 'For the husband is the head of the wife like ha-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah) is the Head of the Oholyáo, His Body, of which He is the Savior. Now as the Oholyáo (Congregation) submits to ha-MEHUSHKHÁY, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as ha-MEHUSHKHÁY loved the Oholyáo and gave Himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the Word, and to present to Himself as a glorious Oholyáo (Congregation), without spot or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives like their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just like ha-MEHUSHKHÁY does the Oholyáo (Congregation) - for we are members of His body.' - Ephesians 5:23-30 'For those YÁOHU UL foreknew He also predetermined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.' - Romans 8:29 'And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect ha-Molkhiúl's (the King's) glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from ha-Molkhiúl, Who is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit).' - 2 Corinthians 3:18 6. My children and grandchildren belong to YÁOHU UL and it is my responsibility to teach and train them along YÁOHU UL's Scriptural principles toward uprightness, firm faith, clean mind, moral purity and real deep love for YÁOHU UL and fellowmen. 'Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so you do not forget those your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them. Remember the day you assembled before the YÁOHU your UL at Horeb, when He said to me, 'Gather the people before Me to hear My Words so they may learn to revere Me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children.' - Deuteronomy 4:9-10 'He (YÁOHU UL) humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of YÁOHU UL.' - Deuteronomy 8:3 'So commit yourselves completely to these words of mine. Tie them to your hands as a reminder, and wear them on your forehead. Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are away on a journey, when you are lying down and when you are getting up again. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, so as long as the sky remains above the earth, you and your children may flourish in the land YÁOHU UL swore to give your forefathers. Be careful to obey all the commands I give you; show your love to YÁOHU your UL by walking in His ways and clinging to Him.' - Deuteronomy 11:18-22 'And now a word to you fathers. Don't make your children angry by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and teaching approved by ha-Molkhiúl (the King).' - Ephesians 6:4 7. My daily activities must always be in obedience to the promptings of the indwelling 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' which are always in harmony with His written Words, and I will live and walk in YÁOHU UL's perfect will at all times, with the sole purpose of glorifying YÁOHU UL in every thing I say, do or think. 'Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of this age.' - ManYÁOHU (Matthew) 28:20 'And we will receive whatever we request because we obey Him and do those activities that please Him.' - 1 YÁOHU-khánam (John) 3:22 'Those who obey YÁOHU UL's commands live in fellowship with Him, and He with them. And we know He lives in us because the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Holy Spirit) lives in us.' - 1 YÁOHU-khánam (John) 3:24 'Loving YÁOHU UL means keeping His commands, and really, that isn't difficult.' - 1 YÁOHU-khánam (John) 5:3 'So I urge you to live according to your new life in the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Holy Spirit). Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves for. The old sinful nature lusts to do evil, which is just opposite from what the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' wants. And the 'RÚKHA' gives us desires that are opposite from what the sinful nature demands. These two forces are continually fighting each other, and your choices are never free from this conflict. But when you are directed by the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Holy Spirit), you are no longer subject to the law.' - Galatians 5:16-18 'But when the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' controls our lives, He will bring forth this kind of fruit in us: love, ecstacy, peace, patience, kindness, rectitude, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.' - Galatians 5:22-23a 'If we are living now by the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA,' let us follow the leading of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' in every part of our lives.' - Galatians 5:25 'And do not bring sorrow to YÁOHU UL's 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' by the way you live. Remember, He is the One Who has identified you as His own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption.' - Ephesians 4:30 'Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Let the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' fill and control you.' - Ephesians 5:18 'YÁOHU ABí (the Father), in His foreknowledge, has selected you long ago, and the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) has made you holy. As a result, you have obeyed YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY and are cleansed by His 'DAM' (blood). May you have more and more of YÁOHU UL's special favor and wonderful peace.' - 1 Káfos (Peter) 1:2 8. My marriage is a lifelong commitment to YÁOHU UL and to my spouse and I will always nurture and care for it as long as I live, and I will never allow anything to damage my relationship with my spouse and children, in our scriptural pursuit of altogether serving YÁOHU UL with all our beings always. 'And He (YAOHÚSHUA) said, 'This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and the two are united into one. Since they are no longer two but one, let no one separate them, for YÁOHU UL has united them together.' - ManYÁOHU (Matthew) 19:5-6 'And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:12 'But I say that a husband who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.' - ManYÁOHU (Matthew) 5:32 'Anyone who divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.' - Luke 16:18 'To the married I give this command (not I, but ha-Molkhiúl): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.' - 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 'And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.' - 1 Corinthians 7:13-14 'A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to YÁOHU UL.' - 1 Corinthians 7:39 'In YAOHÚ-dah, in Yaoshorúl (Israel), and in Yaohúshua-oléym (Jerusalem) there is treachery, for the men of YAOHÚ-dah have defiled the YÁOHU UL's beloved holy shrine by marrying women who worship idols. May YÁOHU UL cut off from the nation of Yaoshorúl every last man who has committed this and yet still brings an offering to YÁOHU UL Tzavulyáo (the Commander of Heaven's Armies). Here is one more thing you do. You cover YÁOHU UL's altar with tears, weeping and groaning because He pays no attention to your offerings, and He doesn't accept them with delight. You even cry out, 'Why has YÁOHU UL abandoned us?' I'll tell you why! Because YÁOHU UL witnessed the vows you and your wife made to each other on your wedding day when you were young. But you have been disloyal to her, though she remained your faithful companion, the wife of your sacred marriage vows. Didn't YÁOHU UL make you one with your wife? In body and spirit you are His. And what does He want? Holy children from your union. So guard yourself; remain faithful to the wife of your youth. 'For I hate divorce!' says YÁOHU UL Yaoshorúl (the UL of Israel). 'It is as cruel as putting on a victim's bloodsoaked coat,' says YÁOHU UL Tzavulyáo. So guard yourself; always remain faithful to your wife!' - Malachi 2:11-16 9. All that I have - my money, properties, assets, talents and abilities - is a sacred trust from YÁOHU UL and I always use them solely for YÁOHU UL's purposes and plans, and I always am a faithful and dependable trustee of all that He has provided for my needs and for His glory, fully realizing that my LIFETIME LOYALTY, faithfulness and absolute devotion must be to YÁOHU UL alone. 'Do recall how YÁOHU your UL led you through the wilderness for forty years, humbling you and trying you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would really obey His commands. Yes, He humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your forebears. He did it to teach you that people need more than bread for their life; real life comes by feeding on every Word of YÁOHU UL. For all these forty years your clothes didn't wear out, and your feet didn't get sore nor swell. So you should realize that just like a parent disciplines a child, YÁOHU your UL also disciplines you to help you. So obey the commands of YÁOHU your UL by walking in His ways and reverentially fear Him. For YÁOHU your UL is bringing you into a pleasant land of flowing rivulets and pools of water, with springs that gush forth in the valleys and hills. It is a land of wheat and barley, of grapevines, fig trees, pomegranates, olives, and honey. It is a land where food is plentiful and nothing is lacking. It is a land where iron is as common as rock, and copper is abundant in the hills. When you have eaten your fill, praise YÁOHU your UL for the pleasant land He has given you. And that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty, you do not forget YÁOHU your UL and disobey His commands, regulations, and laws. For when you have become full and prosperous and have built fine homes to live in, and when your flocks and herds have become very large and your silver and gold have multiplied along with everything else, that is the time to be very careful! Do not become proud at that time and forget YÁOHU your UL, Who rescued you from slavery in the land of Egypt. Do not forget that He led you through the great and terrifying wilderness with poisonous snakes and scorpions, where it was so hot and dry. He even gave you water from the rock! He fed you with manna in the wilderness, a food unknown to your forebears. He did this to humble you and test you for your own benefit! He did it so you would never think that it was your own ability and power that made you wealthy. Always remember that it is YÁOHU your UL Who gives you the power to become rich, and He does it to fulfill the covenant He made with your forebears.' - Deuteronomy 8:2-18 'All the believers were of one heart and mind, and they felt that what they owned was not their own; they shared everything they had. And the emissaries gave powerful witness to the resurrection of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA, and YÁOHU UL's great favor was upon them all. There was no poverty among them, because people who owned land or houses sold them and brought the money to the emissaries to give to others in need. For example, there was YÁOHU-saf, the one the emissaries nicknamed Barnabas. He was from the tribe of Levi and came from the island of Cyprus. He sold a field he owned and brought the money to the emissaries for those in need. There was also a man named Ananias who, with his wife, Sapphira, sold some property. He brought part of the money to the emissaries, but he claimed it was the full amount. His wife had conspired with him to this deception. Then Káfos said, 'Ananias, why has ha-satán filled your heart? You lied to the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA,' and you kept some of the money for yourself. The property was yours to sell or not sell, as you wished. Besides, after selling it, the money was yours to give away. How could you do a thing like this? You weren't lying to us but to the Eternal UL.' As soon as Ananias heard these words, he fell to the floor and died. Everyone who heard about it was horrified. Then some young men wrapped him in a sheet, took him out and buried him. About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. Káfos asked her, 'Was this the price you and your husband received for your land?' 'Yes,' she replied, 'that was the price.' And Káfos said, 'How could the two of you even think of doing a thing like this - conspiring together to test the 'RÚKHA-YÁOHU' (Spirit of YÁOHU UL)? Just outside that door are the young men who buried your husband, and they will carry you out, too.' Quickly, she fell to the floor and died. When the young men came in and saw that she was dead, they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. Great fear gripped the entire Oholyáo (Congregation) and all others who heard what had happened.' - Acts 4:32-5:11 'For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?' - 1 Corinthians 4:7 And YAOHÚSHUA replied, 'I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or female siblings or mother or father or children or property, for My sake and for the Glorious Message, will receive now in this life, in return, a hundred times over, houses, brothers, female siblings, mothers, children, and property - with persecutions. And in the world to come they will have eternal life.' - Mark 10:29-30 Now please also receive valuable related truths found in ManYÁOHU (Matthew) 25:14-30. 10. My overall purpose in life is to love and serve YÁOHU UL with all my heart, with all my mind, with all my soul and with all my energy, obeying His commands, and to love my fellowmen same way as I love myself, for this is the whole duty of everyone toward the Creator, YÁOHU UL, Who judges and rewards justly for all that people do. YAOHÚSHUA replied, 'You must love YÁOHU your UL with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the other commandments and all the demands of the prophets are anchored on these two commandments.' - ManYÁOHU (Matthew) 22:37-40 'If someone says, 'I love YÁOHU UL,' but hates his brother, that person is a liar; for if we don't love people whom we can actually see, how can we love YÁOHU UL, Whom we have not seen? And YÁOHU UL Himself has commanded that we must love not only Him but our brother, too.' - 1 YÁOHU-khánam (John) 4:20-21 'So now I am giving you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you should love one another. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are truly My disciples.' - YÁOHU-khánam (John) 13:34-35 'If you love Me, obey My commands.' - YÁOHU-khánam (John) 14:15 'Those who obey My commands are the ones who truly love Me. And because they love Me, My YÁOHU ABí (Father) will love them, and I will love them. And I will reveal Myself to each one of them.' - YÁOHU-khánam (John) 14:21 YAOHÚSHUA replied, 'All those who love Me will do what I say. My YÁOHU ABí will love them, and WE will come to them and live with them. Anyone who doesn't love Me will not do what I say. And remember, My words are not My own. This message is from YÁOHU ABí Who sent Me.' - YÁOHU-khánam (John) 14:23-24 'When you obey Me, you remain in My love, just as I obey My YÁOHU ABí (Father) and remain in His love.' - YÁOHU-khánam (John) 15:10 'I command you to love one another in the same way that I love you. And here is how to measure it - the greatest love is shown when people lay down their lives for their friends.' - YÁOHU-khánam 15:12-13 'I command you to love one another.' - YÁOHU-khánam (John) 15:17 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what YÁOHU UL has prepared for those who love Him.' - 1 Corinthians 2:9 'The purpose of my teaching is that all the Yaohúshuahím (believers in the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA) there would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.' - 1 YÁOHU-tam (Timothy) 1:5 'If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill all the requirements of YÁOHU UL's law. For the commands against adultery and murder and stealing and coveting - and any other command - are all summed up in this one command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Love does no wrong to anyone, so love satisfies all of YÁOHU UL's requirements.' - Romans 13:8-10 For you, dear friends, have been called to live in freedom - not freedom to satisfy your sinful nature, but freedom to serve one another in love. For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' - Galatians 5:13-14 Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA spoke: 'Don't imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! No, I came to bring a sword. I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. Your enemies will be right in your own household! If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine. If you refuse to take up your stake and follow Me, you are not worthy of being Mine. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give it up for Me, you will find it.' - ManYÁOHU (Matthew) 10:34-39 'Here is my final conclusion: Reverentially fear YÁOHU UL and obey His commands, for this is the entire duty of man. For YÁOHU UL will judge us for everything we do, including every hidden thing, upright or bad.' - Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 'Love never fails....' - 1 Corinthians 13:8 'There are three which remain - faith, hope and love - and the greatest among these is love.' - 1 Corinthians 13:13 Now please also receive valuable related truths about genuine scriptural love found in 1 Corinthians 13 and Luke 6:20-49. Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA speaking.... 'All those who come and hearken and obey Me are like a man who builds house on a firm foundation established upon the underlying rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against the house, it remains firm, for it is durably built. But those who hearken and don't obey are like a man who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it crumbles into a heap of ruins.' - Luke 6:47-49 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
You will now decide to begin living by YÁOHU Ulhím's scriptural convictions itemized above, by YÁOHU UL's enablement, encouragement and support. We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
1. Every wife needs the stability, direction and guidance of a spiritual leader. It is inherent in women to look for spiritual leadership and direction from men who lead their lives fully under the chain of command of YÁOHU Ulhím. A wife in particular would find it easy to submit to her own husband when she can really observe and see that her husband is a dependable spiritual leader for her and the children. There are four major evidences of a stable and dependable spiritual leadership, and they are:
What happiness there is for you who are poor, for the Kingdom of YÁOHU UL is yours! What happiness there is for you who are now hungry, for you are going to be satisfied! What happiness there is for you who weep, for the time will come when you will exult with gladness! What happiness it is when others hate you and exclude you and insult you and smear your name because you are Mine! When that happens, exult! Yes, leap with gladness! For you will have a great reward awaiting you in heaven. And you will be in fine company - the ancient prophets were treated that way too! But, oh, the sorrows that await the rich. For they have their only happiness down here. They are fat and prosperous now, but a time of awful hunger is before them. Their careless laughter now means sorrow then. And what tribulation is ahead for those praised by the crowds - for false prophets have always been praised. Take heed, all of you. Love your enemies! Be kind to those who hate you. Pray for the happiness of those who curse you; implore YÁOHU UL's blessing on those who hurt you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, let him slap the other too! If someone demands your coat, give him your shirt besides. Give what you have to anyone who asks you for it; and when things are taken away from you, don't worry about getting them back. Treat others as you want them to treat you. Do you think you deserve commendation for merely loving those who love you? Even the wicked do that! And if you are kind only to those who are kind to you - is that so commendable? Even sinners do that much! And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, how meritorious is that? Even the most wicked will lend to their own kind for full return! Love your enemies! Be kind to them! Lend to them! And don't be concerned about the fact that they won't repay. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of YÁOHU UL Gavóha (the Most High): for He is kind to the ungrateful and to those who are very wicked. Try to show as much compassion as your YÁOHU ABí (Father) does. Never criticize or condemn - or it will all come back on you. Go easy on others; then they will do the same for you. For if you give, you will receive! Your gift will return to you in full and overflowing measure, pressed together, shaken over to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use to give - large or small - will be used to measure what is given back to you.' Here are some of the object lessons YAOHÚSHUA included in His lectures: 'What use is it for one blind man to lead another? He will fall into a ditch and pull the other down with him. How can a pupil know more than his mentor? But if he works hard, he may learn as much. And why quibble about the speck in someone else's eye - his little fault - when a plank is in your own? How can you think of saying to him, 'Brother, let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,' when you can't see past the plank in yours? Hypocrite! First get rid of the plank, and then perhaps you can see well enough to deal with his speck! A tree from fine stock doesn't produce scrub fruit nor do trees from poor stock produce delectable fruit. A tree is identified by the kind of fruit it produces. Figs never grow on thorns, or grapes on bramble bushes. An upright person yields noble deeds from a pure heart. And an evil person yields evil deeds from his hidden wickedness. Whatever abounds in the heart overflows into speech. So why do you call me 'Molkhiúl' when you won't obey Me? But all those who come and hearken and obey Me are like a person who builds a house on a secure foundation laid upon the underlying rock. When the floodwaters rise and break, against the house, it endures firmly, for it is securely built. But those who hear but don't obey are like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it crumbles into a heap of ruins. Luke 6:20-49, Holy Scriptures YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
See how very much our heavenly YÁOHU ABí (Father) loves us, for He allows us to be called His children - think of it - and we really are! But since most people don't know YÁOHU UL, naturally they don't comprehend that we are His children. Yes, my dear friends, we already are His children, right now, and we can't even imagine what it is going to be like later on. But we know this, that when He comes we will be like Him, as a result of seeing Him as He really is. And everyone who really believes this will try to remain pure because ha-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah) is pure. But those who keep on committing sins are against YÁOHU UL, for every sin is committed against the will of YÁOHU UL. And you know that He became a Man in order that He could take away our sins, and that there is no sin in Him, no missing of YÁOHU UL's will at any time in any way. So if we keep close to Him, obedient to Him, we won't be committing sins also, but as for those who keep on committing sins, they should realize this: They sin because they have never really known Him or become His. Oh, dear children, don't let anyone deceive you about this: if you are continually doing what is right, it is because you are upright, even as He is. But if you keep on committing sins, it shows that you belong to ha-satán, who since he first began to sin has been relentless at it. But ha-BÓR (the Son) of YÁOHU UL came to obliterate the works of the wicked one. The person who has been born into YÁOHU UL's family does not make a practice of committing sins, because now YÁOHU UL's life is in him; so he can't keep on committing sins, for this new life has been born into him and controls him - he has been spiritually reborn! So now we can identify who is a child of YÁOHU UL and who belongs to ha-satán. Whoever is living a life of sin and doesn't love his brother shows that he is not in YÁOHU UL's family, for the message to us from the beginning has been that we should love one another. We are not to be like Cain, who belonged to ha-satán and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because Cain had been doing wrong and he knew very well that his brother's life was better than his. So never be surprised, dear friends, if the world hates you. If we love other Yaohúshuahím (believers in the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA), it proves that we have been delivered from hell and given eternal life. But a person who doesn't have love for others is headed for eternal death. Anyone who hates his Yaohúshuahée (believing) brother is really a murderer at heart; and you know that no one wanting to murder really has life eternal within. We know what real love is from the example of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah) in dying for us. And so we also ought to lay down our lives for our Yaohúshuahím brethren. But if someone who is supposed to be a Yaohúshuahée has money enough to live well, and sees a brother in need, and won't help him - how can YÁOHU UL's love be within him? Little children, let us stop just saying we love people; let us really, truly love them, and show it by our actions! Then we will know for sure, by our actions, that we are on YÁOHU UL's side, and our consciences will be clear, even when we arise before ha-Molkhiúl (the King). But if we have bad consciences and feel that we have done wrong, ha-Molkhiúl will surely feel it even more, for He knows everything we do. But, dearly-loved friends, if our consciences are clear, we can come to ha-Molkhiúl with perfect assurance and trust - receiving whatever we ask for because we are obeying Him and doing those activities that please Him. And this is what YÁOHU UL says we must do: Believe on the Shúam (Name) of His Son YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah), and love one another. Those who do what YÁOHU UL says - they are living with YÁOHU UL and He with them. We know this is the truth because the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Holy Spirit) He has given us tells us so.
Fruitfulness which is the opposite of Barrenness
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....LOVE.' - Gal. 5:22
You will discuss with those closest to you in what ways do you or don't you project the fruit of the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' to them and why so, after which you will make the necessary adjustments in dealing with them in order for them to see more and more of the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA in you. We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
A soft answer turns away wrath. A really wise person is soft spoken to everyone. The chief support for purity of heart is love of solitude. Against the love of pleasure, effective beyond all else, is solitude. For he who puts out of sight the things that are worldly loses the lust for them. You cannot be everything if you really want to be anything at all. Idle chat leads to poverty. Do what you say, but say not what you do. A fools says what he knows; a wise person knows what he says. Beware of idle talk. You will account for every idle word which you speak on Judgment Day.
A little west of Mount Zion, near the Yaffo Gate of Yarushaláyim, is a small terrace, on the top of a watershed, so level that the rain as it falls upon it seems at a loss which way to go. But part of it is carried by a faint breath of wind over on the west side and descends into the Valley of Roses, and down to the beautiful plain of Sharon. Fertility and beauty and fruits spring up, and finally it is exhaled to heaven from the fragrant cups of the lilies and roses of Sharon. But a large part of it finds its way to the other side of the terrace and descends through the dark valley of Tophet to the Dead Sea, where it brings forth the apples of Sodom and is lost forever in the bitter waters of the Sea of Death. This terrace is the Terrace of Indecision.
Every wife needs to feel that she is special in her own right. Since YÁOHU Ulhím gave her to be the 'help meet' for her husband, she should therefore really fulfill her tasks and duties to her husband exclusively, in ways that are really important to the husband and vital in his life and toward his goals. The more important to the husband the help and support the wife gives, the more he is able and deeply encouraged to praise and admire her. It would be ruinous to the marriage relationship for the husband to assign, allow or delegate a special task of his wife to another woman. What's worse would be if the husband should praise the other woman for a job well done right in the hearing and presence of his wife! Such unfeeling behavior of the husband would surely incite jealousy in his wife. Jealousy is the fear of being displaced by another. And what one sows, he will surely reap in similar ways. It is common in husbands to keep their inadequacies and needs to themselves and not share them at all with their wives. But how can a wife really fulfill her duties as a 'help meet' if she does not know in which way she can really be of help? Most husbands, in their desire to maintain the admiration of their wives, only relate successes and accomplishments to their wives, always being heroes for them to admire, and the wives seem like outside spectators in the lives of their husbands. Since before honor and promotion comes humility, it would be wise and scriptural for the husband to tell his wife his areas of inadequacies and weaknesses, and let her know in what specific ways she can positively contribute to overcoming them. In this way, the wife would really feel to be an important and integral part of her husband's life, work and goals. Examples of the husband's needs that only his wife and no other woman can truly meet -
Hearken well to me, my son! I know what I am saying; hear me! Watch yourself, lest you be indiscreet and betray some vital information. For the lips of a prostitute are as sweet as honey, and smooth flattery is her trade secret. But afterwards only a bitter conscience is left to you, sharp as a double-edged sword. She leads you down to death and hell. For she does not know the path to life. She staggers down a crooked trail, and doesn't even realize where it leads. Young men, hearken to me, and never forget what I'm about to say: Run from her! Don't go near her house, lest you fall to her temptation and lose your honor, and give the remainder of your life to the cruel and merciless; or people you don't know will obtain your wealth, and you become a slave of foreigners. And afterwards you will groan in anguish and in shame, when a sexually-transmitted disease consumes your body, and you say, 'Oh, if only I had hearkened! If only I had not demanded my own way! Oh, why wouldn't I take advice? Why was I that stupid? For now I must suffer public shame.' Drink from your own well, my son - be faithful and true to your wife. Why should you beget children with women of the road? Why share your children with those outside your home? Be happy, yes, be glad in the wife of your youth. Let her breasts and her gentle embrace satisfy you. Let her love alone fill you with delight. Why delight yourself with prostitutes, embracing what isn't yours? For YÁOHU UL is closely watching you, and He weighs carefully everything that you do. The wicked man is doomed by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him. He shall die because he will not hearken to the truth; he has let himself be led away into incredible stupidity. Maush'léi (Proverbs) of King Shua-ólmoh 5, Holy Scriptures YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Wives, always be submissive to your husbands; for then if they refuse to hearken when you talk to them about ha-Molkhiúl, they will be won by your respectful, pure behavior. Your holy lives will speak to them better than any words. Don't be concerned about the outward beauty that depends on jewelry, or beautiful clothes, or hair arrangement. Be beautiful inwardly, in your hearts, with the enduring charm of a gentle, quiet and meek spirit which is so valuable to YÁOHU UL. That kind of deep beauty was seen in the devout women of old, who depended fully upon YÁOHU UL and were submissive to their own husbands. Soroáh, for example, obeyed her husband Abruhám, honoring him as head of the family. And if you do the same, you will be following in her steps, like fine daughters and doing what is right; then you will not need to fear offending your husband. You husbands must be caring of your wives, being thoughtful of their needs and honoring them as the weaker sex. Remember that you and your wife are heirs together in receiving YÁOHU UL's gift of new life, and if you don't treat her as you should, your prayers will not get ready answers. 1 Káfos (Peter) 3:1-7, Holy Scriptures
Sanctity which is the opposite of Profanity
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....Uprightness.' - Gal. 5:22
You will continue to identify and write down the many other ways in which the wife exclusively meets the needs and desires of her husband in ways no other woman can. Best if the husband will share his inadequacies, shortcomings and failures to his wife, and tell her exactly in what ways she can really help him overcome these challenges. We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Let there be no enmity, I beg you, between me and you. It is an honor for anyone to keep away from quarrels. He who is of noble birth is the first to be silent during quarrels. Do not linger in places where there are continual quarrelings. Keep far from quarrels and sin will keep far from you. Every city or house divided against itself shall not endure. Refer not to a past quarrel, lest the dead embers be rekindled. Quarrelsome people are the most sorrowful and soon come to grief.
At Niagara, the American Falls takes its dizzy leap over a precipice of 160 feet. Between the face of that precipice and the great overleaping sheet of water, which forms the falls, there is a vacant space called the Cave of the Winds. The guides robe you from head to feet in rubber garments and go before you to lead the way. You follow slowly and carefully as they make their way literally under the falls. Finally you reach your stopping point. There, as you arise, kilotons of water are rushing over that precipice, with a thunderous roar and blinding splash of spray and mist. If you were down there where it falls you would be crushed to death in a second by its gigantic impact. But though you arise in a spot of much seeming peril, you are perfectly safe; for this great veil of watery death passes over you and spends its fury on the jagged rocks beneath. You are safe because you are a passed-over person. It is a picture of the redemption which is YAOHÚSHUA for us.
Young man, obey your father and your mother. Take to heart all of their advice; keep in mind everything they tell you. Every day and all night long their advice will lead you and save you from harm; when you wake up in the morning, let their teachings guide you into the new day. For their advice is a beam of light directed into the dark corners of your mind to warn you of danger and to give you a blessed life. Their counsel will keep you far away from prostitutes with all their flatteries, and unfaithful wives of other men. Don't lust for her beauty. Don't let their cuteness seduce you. For a prostitute will bring a man to poverty, and an adulteress may cost him his very life. Can a man hold fire against his chest without being burned? Can he walk on hot coals and not burn his feet? So it is with the man who commits adultery with another's wife. He shall not go unpunished for this sin. Excuses might even be found for a thief, if he steals when he is close to dying of hunger! But even so, he is fined seven times as much as he looted, though it may mean selling everything in his house to pay it back. But the man who commits adultery is really an utter fool, for he ruins his own soul. Wounds and continual shame are his lot, for the woman's husband will be furious in his jealousy, and he will have no mercy on you in his day of vengeance. You won't be able to buy him off no matter what you offer. Maush'léi (Proverbs) of King Shua-ólmoh 6:20-35, Holy Scriptures YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
The laws of Mehushúa (Moses) said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say, 'Anyone who even looks at a woman with lustful gaze in his eye has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your eye - even if it is your best eye! - causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. Better for part of you to be ruined than for all of you to be hurled into hell. And if your hand - even your right hand! - causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. Better that than find yourself in hell. The law of Mehushúa says, 'If anyone wants to get rid of his wife, he can divorce her merely by giving her a letter of dismissal.' But I say that a man who divorces his wife, except for fornication, causes her to commit adultery if she marries again. And he who marries her commits adultery. Again, the law of Mehushúa says, 'You shall not break your vows to YÁOHU UL, but must fulfill them all.' But I say: Don't make any vows! And even to say, 'By heavens!' is a sacred vow to YÁOHU UL, for the heavens are the throne of YÁOHU UL. And if you say, 'By the earth!' it is a sacred vow, for the earth is His footrest. And don't swear 'By Yaohúshua-oléym (Jerusalem)!' for Yaohúshua-oléym is the Capital City of the Great King. Don't even swear 'By my head!' for you can't turn one hair white or black. Say just a simple 'Yes,' or 'No.' Your word is enough. To reinforce your promise with a vow shows that something is wrong! The law of Mehushúa says, 'If a man gouges out another's eye, he must pay with his own eye. If a tooth gets knocked out, knock out the tooth of the one who did it.' But I say: Don't resist violence! If you are slapped on one cheek, turn the other too. If you are summoned to court, and your shirt is taken from you, give your coat too. If the military demand that you carry their gear for a mile, carry it two. Give to those who ask, and don't turn away from those who want to borrow. There is a saying, 'Love your friends and hate your enemies.' But I say: Love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way you will be behaving as true children of your heavenly YÁOHU ABí. For He gives sunlight to both the evil and the upright, and sends rain on the just as well as on the unjust too. If you love only those who love you, what virtue is that? Even scoundrels do that much. If you are friendly only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even the pagans do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your heavenly YÁOHU ABí is perfect.
Discretion which is the opposite of Recklessness
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....SELF-CONTROL.' - Gal. 5:23
You will quickly apply the precepts given above in selecting your subordinates and now take the required remedial steps in cases where you have been reckless in making selections in the past, thus avoiding future unpleasant consequences. We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
When you come to serve YÁOHU Ulhím, prepare your soul for temptation. One of the most effective antidote against temptation is to shut your own eyes when exposed to it. Only he who overcomes temptation is worthy of reward. Teaching someone who has no love for the truth or someone who loves foolishness is like worshiping idols. As a person thinks in his heart, so is he. Rather talk to a woman and think of YÁOHU Ulhím, rather than talk to YÁOHU Ulhím while thinking of a woman. Whoever fills his thoughts with the Word clears it of fears and foolishness.
He who knows not and knows not that he knows not;
He who knows not and knows that he knows not;
He who knows and knows not that he knows;
He who knows and knows that he knows;
If you can find a truly noble wife, she is worth more than valuable gems! Her husband can trust fully in her, and she will richly satisfy his needs. She will not hinder him, but help him all her life. She finds wool and flax and busily spins it. She buys imported foods, brought by ship from far-away ports. She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household, and plans the day's work for her servant girls. She goes out to inspect a field, and buys it; with her own hands she plants a vineyard. She is vigorous; a hard worker, and watches for bargains. She works far into the night! She sews for the poor, and generously helps those in need. She has no fear of winter for her household, for she has made warm clothes for them all. She also makes coverings for her bed; her own clothing is beautifully made - a purple gown of pure linen. Her husband is well known, for he takes his seat among civic leaders in the council chamber. She makes belted linen garments to sell to the merchants. She is a woman of energy and dignity, and has no fear of old age. When she speaks, her words are wise, and kindness is the rule for everything she says. She watches carefully all that goes on throughout her household, and is never lazy. Her children rise up and bless her; so does her husband. He praises her with these words: 'There are many fine women in the world, but you are the best of them all!' Charm can be deceptive and beauty doesn't last, but a woman who reverentially fears YÁOHU UL shall be greatly praised. Praise her for the many excellent deeds she does. These kind, noble deeds of hers shall bring her honor and recognition from people of renown. Maush'léi (Proverbs) 31:10-31, Holy Scriptures YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
You wives must submit to your husbands as you do to ha-Molkhiúl. For a husband is the head of his wife like ha-MEHUSHKHÁY is the Head of His body, the Oholyáo (Congregation); He gave His life to be her Savior. As the Oholyáo submits to hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, so you wives must submit to your husbands in everything. And you husbands, show the same kind of love to your wives as ha-Molkhiúl showed to the Oholyáo (Congregation) when He died for her, to make her holy and clean, washed by baptism, and YÁOHU UL's Word; in order that He could give her to Himself as a glorious Oholyáo without a single spot, wrinkle or any other blemish, being holy and without a single fault. That is how husbands should treat their wives, loving them as parts of themselves. For since a man and his wife are now one, a man is really doing himself a favor and loving himself when he loves his wife! No one hates his own body but lovingly cares for it, just like ha-MEHUSHKHÁY cares for His body the Oholyáo (Congregation), of which we are members. (That the husband and wife are one body is proved by the Scripture which says, 'A man must leave his father and mother when he marries, so he can be perfectly united to his wife, and the two shall be one.') I know this is deeply enigmatic and hard to comprehend, but it is an object lesson in how we, as parts of the body, and ha-MEHUSHKHÁY are one. So again I say, a man must love his wife as a part of himself; and the wife must see to it that she deeply respects her husband - obeying, praising and honoring him.
Cherishing which is the opposite of Uncaring
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....LOVE.' - Gal. 5:22
You will write down the attractive, lovely and pleasant qualities and traits in your spouse, parents or close friends which endear you to them and express your gratefulness and admiration to them to further encourage and exhort them to radiate such praiseworthy, noble and exemplary qualities, all for the glory of YÁOHU Ulhím! We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Human perfection may be attained by, first, loving YÁOHU Ulhím with all your heart, mind, soul and vigor and loving others same way you love yourself! Mankind's aspiring for happiness and perfection is proof enough that he was created from them and towards achieving them. You be therefore perfect even as your YÁOHU ABí is perfect. Waters wear the rocks. Talent is of ugly appearance without being married to perseverance! Continual dripping will bore even through a rock. Persevering prayers will prevail even in heaven itself! Whoever keeps on knocking will be the one who will be entering. Whoever loves indulgent pleasure shall early come to poverty. Beware of the pious fool, and also of a cunning sinner. True holiness and piety is determined by one's attitude to money. Wine and luxury are not the way to true riches.
Dr. Joe R. Brown of Minnesota, tells of trying to get a physical chronology of a patient. The man's wife answered every query the doctor asked. Finally, Dr. Brown asked her to leave the room, but after she left found that her husband couldn't speak. Calling the wife back, Dr. Brown apologized for not realizing the man had aphasia - loss of speech - and couldn't speak a word. The wife was shocked! She didn't know it either.
People who get married want to perpetuate their own kind, share their lives with others of similar goals, likes and purposes in life, and raise up children who would bear similar pursuits. On the other hand, there are those who remain happily unmarried and have no qualms about it whatsoever. Getting married is also a scriptural antidote against rampant sexual immorality. Those people who cannot control their sexual passions are advised to get married, for only through marriage is sexual activity scripturally allowed. Outside of marriage, sexual activity would be reckoned as sin. Since one purpose of the marriage relationship is to satisfy the sexual passions of the espouses based upon genuine love, obviously then it is expected from each of the couple to fulfill their responsibilities to each other faithfully and gladly, not reluctantly. Upon marriage, the man surrenders authority over his own physical body to his wife, and the wife, likewise, surrenders her own authority over her body to her husband. The wife's body now belongs to the husband, and the husband's body now belong to his wife, and each may avail of the other at his or her own will and delight. An exception is given if both agree, for a time, to refrain from engaging in any sexual activity so they could more completely pray or fast, but after said period of time, both may again have sex. Another exception is when the wife is having her monthly menstrual period, or when she is well advanced in pregnancy. It is the duty of the espouses to each other to satisfy their respective physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs, and to each other only. Outside of marriage, any sex is disallowed for that would be fornication or adultery, as the case may be. When both espouses are satisfied in these categories, then there is no room for the enemy to mount up temptations against each of the married couple, due to lack of self-control. Use of the other's physical body must be in holiness and purity, and not in pagan passion or savage concupiscence, though. Everything must be done decently and in genuine love.
Now about those queries you asked in your last letter: my answer is that if you do not marry, it is fine. But usually it is best to be married, each man having his own wife, and each woman having her own husband, because otherwise you might fall back into sin. The man should give his wife all that is her right as a married woman, and the wife should do the same for her husband: for a girl who marries no longer has full right to her own body; for her husband then has his rights to it, too; and in the same way the husband no longer has full right to his own body, for it belongs also to his wife. So never refuse these conjugal rights to one another. The only exception to this rule would be the agreement of both husband and wife to refrain from the rights of marriage for a limited time, so they can give themselves more completely to prayer. Afterwards, they should come together again so ha-satán won't be able to tempt them because of their lack of self-control. I'm not saying you must marry; but you surely may if you wish. I wish everyone could get along without marrying, just as I do. But we are not all the same. YÁOHU UL gives some the gift of a husband or wife, and other He gives the gift of being able to remain happily unmarried. So I say to those who aren't married, and to widows - better remain unmarried if you can, just as I am. But if you can't control yourself, go ahead and marry. It is better to marry than to burn with lust. Now, for those who are married I have a command, not just a recommendation. And it is not a command from me, for this is what ha-Molkhiúl (the King) Himself has said: A wife must not leave her husband! But if she is separated from him, let her remain single or else go back to him. And the husband should not divorce his wife. Here I want to add some recommendations of my own. These are not direct commands from ha-Molkhiúl (the King), but they seem right to me: If a Yaohúshuahée (male believer in the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA) has a wife who is not a believer, but she wants to remain with him anyway, he never must leave her or divorce her. And if a Yaohúshuayao (female believer) has a husband who isn't a Yaohúshuahée, and he wants her to remain with him, she must leave him never. For perhaps the husband who isn't a Yaohúshuahée may become a believer with the help of his Yaohúshuayao wife. And the wife who isn't a believer may become one with the help of her believing Yaohúshuahée husband. Otherwise, if the family separates, the children might never come to know ha-Molkhiúl; whereas a united family, in YÁOHU UL's plan, may lead to the children's salvation. But if the husband or wife who isn't a Yaohúshuahée (believer) is eager to leave, it is permitted. In such cases the Yaohúshuahée husband or wife should not insist that the other stay, for YÁOHU UL wants His children to live in peace and harmony. For, after all, there is no assurance to you wives that your husbands will be converted if they remain; and the same may be said to you husbands about your wives. But be sure in making conclusions about these matters that you are living as YÁOHU UL intended, marrying or not marrying in accordance with YÁOHU UL's direction and help, and accepting whatever appointment has put you into. This is my rule for all the congregations. For example, a man who already has gone through the YAOHÚ-dee (Jewish) ceremony of circumcision before he became a Yaohúshuahée should never worry about it; and if he hasn't been circumcised, he should not do it now. For it doesn't make a difference at all whether a Yaohúshuahée has gone through this ceremony or not. But it makes a lot of difference whether he is pleasing YÁOHU UL and keeping YÁOHU UL's commands. That is the important matter. Usually a person should keep on with the work he was carrying out when YÁOHU UL called him. Are you a slave? Don't let that worry you - but of course, if you get a chance to be free, take it. If ha-Molkhiúl calls you, and you are a slave, remember that ha-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah) has set you free from the awful power of sin; and if He has called you and you are free, remember that you are now a slave of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY. You have been bought and paid for by ha-MEHUSHKHÁY, and so you actually belong to Him - be free now from all those earthly prides and fears. So my dear brethren, whatever appointment a person is in when he becomes a Yaohúshuahée (believer in the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA), let him remain there, for now ha-Molkhiúl is with him to help. Now I will try to answer your other query. What about young ladies who are not yet married? Should they be permitted to do so? In answer to this query, I have no special command for them from ha-Molkhiúl. But ha-Molkhiúl in His kindness has given me wisdom that can be relied upon, and I will be glad to tell you what I think. Here is the problem: We Yaohúshuahím are facing imposing dangers to our lives at present. In times like these I think it is best for a person to remain unmarried. Of course, if you already are married, don't separate just because of this. But if you aren't, don't rush into it this time. But if you men decide to go ahead anyway and get married now, it is all right; and if a girl gets married in times like these, it is no sin. However, marriage will bring additional problems that I wish you didn't have to face right now. The important thing to remember is that our remaining time is very short and so are our opportunities for doing the work of ha-Molkhiúl. For that reason those who have wives should remain as free as possible for ha-Molkhiúl; happiness or sorrow or wealth should not keep anyone from doing YÁOHU UL's work! Those in frequent contact with the alluring things the world offers should make beneficial use of their opportunities without stopping to enjoy them; for the world in its present form will soon be gone. In all you do, I want you to be free from worry. An unmarried man can spend his time doing the work of ha-Molkhiúl and thinking of ways to please Him. But a married man can't do that so well; he has to attend to his earthly responsibilities and how to please his wife. His main attention is divided. It is the same with the lady who marries. She faces the same problem. A lady who is not married is eager to please ha-Molkhiúl in all she is and does. But a married woman must pay attention to other things such as housekeeping and the likes and dislikes of her husband. I am saying this to help you, not to try to keep you from marrying. I want you to do whatever will help you serve ha-Molkhiúl best, with as few other matters as possible to grab your attention from Him. But if anyone feels he ought to marry because he has trouble controlling his passions, it is all right, it is not a sin; let him marry. But if a man has the willpower not to marry and decides that he doesn't need to and won't, he has made a wise conclusion. So the person who marries does well, and the person who doesn't marry does even better. The wife is part of her husband as long as he lives; if her husband dies, then she may marry again, but only if she marries a Yaohúshuahée (believer). But in my opinion she will be happier if she doesn't marry again; and I think I am giving you counsel from the 'RÚKHA-YÁOHU' (Spirit of YÁOHU UL) when I say this.
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
'Finally, dear brethren, we urge you 'be hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA to live in a way that pleases YÁOHU UL, as we have taught you. You are doing this already, and we encourage you to do so more and more. For you remember what we taught you 'be hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA. YÁOHU UL wants you to be holy, so you should keep clear of all sexual sin. Then each of you will control your body and live in holiness and honor - not in lustful passion as the pagans do, in their ignorance of YÁOHU UL and His ways. Never cheat a Yaohúshuahée brother in this matter by taking his wife, for ha-Molkhiúl avenges all such sins, as we have solemnly warned you before. YÁOHU UL has called us to be holy, not to live impure lives. Anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human rules but is rejecting YÁOHU UL, Who gives His 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' to you.' - 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8, Holy Scriptures
Availability which is the opposite of Shirking
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....FAITHFULNESS.' - Gal. 5:22
For married individuals, you will openly yet tenderly discuss with your espouse in what ways and to what degree are you or aren't you satisfying his or her physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs. For the unmarried, well, you don't have these problems to deal with in the first place, so you can devote more undivided time and attention to gladly and contentedly serving our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám! We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
What is the highest form of rulership? To rule oneself and never be carried away by impulses. Self-control is one of the finest noble traits. Who is a hero? He who conquers his own self-will. Be kings ruling over your own passions, not slaves of them. Happiness comes from exercising self-control. He who cannot command himself cannot command others, too. Humans has six organs to serve him, and he is ruler only of three. He cannot control his eye, ear or nose, but he can his mouth hand and foot. Rule your feelings and emotions, lest you be ruled and enslaved by merciless and cruel enemies. People make harnesses for their beasts, so likewise you must make a harness for your own passions.
Sweden, like the United States, has a high norm of living and a highly developed society. The small country already has what many American social planners say is their goal for the United States. Poverty and unemployment are almost unheard of. Medical care is free for all. Government pensions are given from the cradle to the grave. For each child, a Swedish mother is given a grant at birth plus an annual allowance. Sweden's 'sex freedom' is advertised the world over. A not-surprising eighty to ninety percent of youth are estimated to have had sex experience before marriage! Yet Sweden has one of the highest suicide rates in the world - a larger percentage of Swedish women kill themselves than do U.S. women. Attendance in religious gatherings has dropped, however, to an all-time low. Some say fewer than 10 percent attend regularly. One survey showed only fifty percent of the population believing in the Creator and the Holy Scriptures and only twenty-five percent affirming a life after death.
'Therefore I (Shaúl), now in jail for serving ha-Molkhiúl, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by YÁOHU UL. Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love. Always keep yourselves united in the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA', and bind yourselves together with peace. We are all one body, we have the same 'RÚKHA' (Spirit), and we have all been called to the same glorious future. There is only one Molkhiúl (King), one faith, one baptism, and there is only one YÁOHU UL and ABí, Who is over us all and in us all and living through us all. However, he has given each one of us a special gift according to the generosity of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah). That is why the Scriptures say,
'When He ascended to the heights, Notice that it says 'he ascended.' This means that hol-MEHUSHKHÁY first came down to the lowly world in which we live. The same One Who came down is the One Who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order that His rule might fill the entire universe. He is the One Who gave these gifts to the Oholyáo: the emissaries, the prophets, the evangelists and the undershepherds and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip YÁOHU UL's people to do His work and build up the Oholyáo, the body of hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, until we come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of YÁOHU UL's Son that we will be mature and full grown in ha-Molkhiúl, measuring up to the full measure of hol-MEHUSHKHÁY. Then we will no longer be like children, forever changing our minds about what we believe because someone has told us something different or because someone has cleverly lied to us and made the lie sound like the truth. On the contrary, we will hold on to the truth in love, becoming more and more in every way like hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, Who is the head of His body, the Oholyáo. Under His direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, in order that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love. With the authority of ha-Molkhiúl let me say this: Live no longer as the pagans do, for they are hopelessly confused. Their closed minds are full of darkness; they are far away from the life of YÁOHU UL because they have shut their minds and hardened their hearts against Him. They don't care anymore about right and wrong, and they have given themselves over to immoral ways. Their lives are filled with all kinds of impurity and greed. But that isn't what you were taught when you learned about hol-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah). Since you have heard all about him and have learned the truth that is in YAOHÚSHUA, throw off your old evil nature and your former way of life, which is rotten through and through, full of lust and deception. On the contrary, there must be a spiritual renewal of your thoughts and attitudes. You must display a new nature because you are a new person, created in YÁOHU UL's likeness - upright, holy and true. So put away all falsehood and 'tell your neighbor the truth' because we belong to each other. And 'don't sin by letting anger gain control over you.' Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a mighty foothold to ha-satán. If you are a thief, stop stealing. Begin using your hands for honest work, and then give generously to others in need. Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be noble and helpful, in order that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. And do not bring sorrow to YÁOHU UL's 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' by the way you live. Remember, He is the One Who has identified you as His own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of wicked behavior. On the contrary, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as YÁOHU UL through hol-MEHUSHKHÁY has forgiven you. Ephesians 4, Holy Scriptures YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
'Follow YÁOHU UL's example in everything you do, because you are His loved children. Live a life filled with love for others, following the example of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY, Who loved you and gave Himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins. And YÁOHU UL was pleased, because that sacrifice was like sweet perfume to Him. Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity or greed among you. Such sins have no place among YÁOHU UL's people. Obscene tales, foolish talk and coarse jokes - these are not for you! On the contrary, let there be gratefulness to YÁOHU UL. You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY and of YÁOHU UL. For a greedy person is really an idolater who worships the things of this world. Don't be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the terrible anger of YÁOHU UL comes upon all those who disobey Him. Don't participate in the things these people do. For though your hearts were once full of darkness, now you are full of light from ha-Molkhiúl, and your behavior should show it! For this light within you yields only what is noble and right and true. Try to find out what is pleasing to ha-Molkhiúl (the King). Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; on the contrary, rebuke and expose them. It is shameful even to talk about the things that unholy people do in secret. But when the light shines on them, it becomes clear how evil these activities are. And where your light shines, it will expose their evil deeds. This is why it is said,
So be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity for doing what is right in these evil days. Don't act thoughtlessly, but try to comprehend what ha-Molkhiúl wants you to do. Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life! On the contrary, let the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' fill and control you. Then you will sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, making music to ha-Molkhiúl in your hearts. And you will always give 'hodayáo' (thanks) for everything to YÁOHU ABí 'be hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY. And further, you will submit to one another out of reverence for hol-MEHUSHKHÁY. You wives must submit to your husbands as you do to ha-Molkhiúl. For a husband is the head of his wife like ha-MEHUSHKHÁY is the Head of His body, the Oholyáo; He gave His life to be her Savior. As the Oholyáo submits to ha-MEHUSHKHÁY, so you wives must submit to your husbands in everything. And you husbands must love your wives with the same love hol-MEHUSHKHÁY showed the Oholyáo. He gave up His life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by baptism and YÁOHU UL's word. He did this to offer her to Himself as a glorious Oholyáo without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. On the contrary, she will be holy and without fault. In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man is actually loving himself when he loves his wife. No one hates his own body but lovingly cares for it, just like hol-MEHUSHKHÁY cares for His body, which is the Oholyáo. And we are His body. As the Scriptures say, 'A man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and the two are united into one.' This is a profound enigma, but it is an example of the way hol-MEHUSHKHÁY and the Oholyáo are one! So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must deeply respect her husband.' - Ephesians 5, Holy Scriptures
Discretion which is the opposite of Negligence
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....FAITHFULNESS.' - Gal. 5:22
You will, by YÁOHU Ulhím's guidance and in the light of His Holy Writ, find out and truly comprehend the areas of fortitudes and weaknesses of your wife and/or other subordinates and learn how to wisely, gently but firmly put limitations and set boundaries where necessary that will reassure her or them that you truly care for, love and protect them, and that their best welfare and interests are really important to you. We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Mark the person of integrity and behold the upright! Integrity means what one says and thinks of is really what are in his heart and soul. Wholeness, integrity. A person without integrity cannot likewise have excellent health. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me. A person can be whole only when he comprises both love and reverential fear. YÁOHU Ulhím will never cast away an innocent person. Whoever depends on his wife's earnings will never be successful. Hire yourself out for an honest job rather than depend on others for your daily needs.
A college head not long ago made this sobering declaration to a class of graduating pupils: 'It gets easier and easier for man to dominate his universe...and harder for him to dominate himself.' He went on to say, 'It matters little what you learn or express if in the end you cannot find some ways of working things out with your neighbors.' We cannot dominate the universe, but, with the Creator's help, we can dominate ourselves!
If I had the gift of being able to speak in other languages without learning them, and could speak in every language there is in all of heaven and earth, but didn't love others, I would only be making noise. If I had the gift of prophecy and knew all about what is going to happen in the future, knew everything about everything, but didn't love others, what benefit would it do? Even if I had the gift of faith that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, I would still be worth nothing at all without love. If I gave everything I have to poor people, and if I were burned alive for proclaiming the Glorious Message but didn't love others, it would be of no value whatever. Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful nor proud, never haughty nor selfish nor rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but exults whenever truth wins out. If you love someone you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him and always stake your ground in defending him. All the special gifts and powers from YÁOHU UL will someday come to an end, but love goes on forever. Someday prophecy, and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge - these gifts will disappear. Now we know so little, even with our special gifts, and the preaching of those most gifted is still so poor. But when we have been made perfect and complete, then the need for these inadequate special gifts will come to an end, and they will disappear. It's like this: when I was a child I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child does. But when I became a full-grown man my thoughts grew far beyond those of my childhood, and now I have put away the childish matters. In the same way, we can see and comprehend only a little about YÁOHU UL now, as if we were peering at His reflection in a poor mirror; but someday we are going to see Him in His completeness, face to face. Now all that I know is hazy and blurred, but then I will see everything clearly, just as clearly as YÁOHU UL sees into my heart right now. There are three things that remain - faith, hope and love - and the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13, Holy Scriptures YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
'We all make many mistakes, but those who control their tongues can also control themselves in every other way. We can make a large horse turn around and go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. And a tiny rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot wants it to go, even though the winds are strong. So also, the tongue is a small thing, but what enormous damage it can do. A tiny spark can set a great forest ablaze in fire. And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is full of wickedness that can ruin your whole life. It can turn the entire course of your life into a blazing flame of ruin, for it is ignited on fire by hell itself. People can tame all kinds of animals and birds and reptiles and fish, but no one can tame the tongue. It is an uncontrollable evil, full of deadly poison. Sometimes it praises our Molkhiúl and YÁOHU ABí, and sometimes it breaks out into curses against those who have been made in the image of YÁOHU UL. And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brethren, this is not right! Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water? Can you pick olives from a fig tree or figs from a grapevine? No, and you can't draw fresh water from a salty pool. If you are wise and comprehend YÁOHU UL's ways, live a life of continual uprightness in order that only noble deeds will pour forth. And if you don't brag about the kindness you do, then you will be truly wise! But if you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your hearts, don't brag about being wise. That is the worst kind of lie. For jealousy and selfishness are not YÁOHU UL's kind of wisdom. Such matters are earthly, unspiritual and motivated by ha-satán. For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find confusion and every kind of evil. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and noble deeds. It shows no partiality and is always honest. And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of uprightness.' - YÁOHU-caf (James-Jacob) 3:2-18
Integrity which is the opposite of Hypocrisy
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....LOVE.' - Gal. 5:22
Write down the regular times you and your spouse (or loved ones) have for daily intimate, close heart-to-heart talk:
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
A husband's patience atones for many of his mistakes. A faithless husband makes a faithless wife. As the proverb goes: he among the large pumpkins, she among the little. Idleness leads to lewdness. Be not softly gentle with your mouth yet hard and cruel in your heart. YÁOHU Ulhím, the Holy One, detests him who speaks one thing with his mouth and another in his heart. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which appear beautiful outside, but within are full of dead people's bones and of all uncleanness. A YAOHÚ-di may not enter a building dedicated to idol worship even to protect himself from inclement weather. No one can serve two bosses, YÁOHU Ulhím and money at the same time. YÁOHU Ulhím clothes the naked, visits the sick, comforts those who mourn, feeds the hungry, helps those who are in difficulty and buries the dead....so you do likewise.
Space cadet Michael Collins, speaking at a banquet, quoted the estimate that the average man speaks 25,000 words a day and the average woman 30,000 words daily. Then he added: 'Unfortunately, when I come home each day I've spoken my 25,000 - and my wife hasn't began her 30,000!'
Usually, the wife will test her husband by relating some problems and dire predicaments which some other woman is suffering under and she will keenly observe how he would react in such cases. She will see if her husband has mercy, comprehension, patience and wisdom to give practical help. The negative fears of the wife are the husband's challenge. The faithful and loving husband would help his wife identify and express her negative fears and emotions and help her find and receive YÁOHU Ulhím's enablements to overcome and completely eliminate them.
YÁOHU Ulhím is my light and my salvation -
YÁOHU Ulhím protects me from danger -
When evil people come to ruin me,
Though a mighty army surrounds me,
The one thing I ask of YÁOHU Ulhím-
For He will conceal me there when troubles come;
Then I will hold my head high,
Hearken to my pleading, O YÁOHU Ulhím.
My heart has heard you say, 'Come and talk with Me.'
Do not hide Yourself from me.
Even if my father and mother abandon me,
Teach me how to live, O YÁOHU Ulhím.
Do not let me fall into their hands.
Yet I am confident that I will see YÁOHU Ulhím's kindness
Wait patiently for YÁOHU Ulhím. Tehillím (Psalms) 27:1-14 YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
A final word: Be tough with the YÁOHU UL's awesome power. Wear all of YÁOHU UL's full armor in order that you will be able to endure firm against all the tactics and tricks of ha-satán. For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms. Use every piece of YÁOHU UL's armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, in order that after the battle you will still be remaining firm. Hold your ground, putting on the durable belt of truth and the body armor of YÁOHU UL's uprightness. For shoes, wear the peace that comes from the Glorious Message, in order that you will always be fully prepared. In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by ha-satán. And wear the helmet of salvation, and take the sword of the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit), which is the Word of YÁOHU UL. Pray at all times and on every occasion in the power of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Holy Spirit of YAOHÚSHUA). Remain alert and be relentless in your prayers for all Yaohúshuahím everywhere.' - Ephesians 6:10-18
Courage which is the opposite of Fearfulness
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....FAITH.' - Gal. 5:22
Steps to be taken to eliminate negative fears and emotions:
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth. Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
My child, when you come to serve YÁOHU Ulhím,
Align your heart right and be stable,
Cling to Him and do not depart,
Accept whatever befalls you,
For gold is tried in the fire,
Trust upon Him, and He will help you;
You who reverentially fear YÁOHU Ulhím,
You who reverentially fear YÁOHU Ulhím,
You who reverentially fear YÁOHU Ulhím,
Think of the generations of old and see:
Or has anyone persevered in the reverential fear of YÁOHU Ulhím
For YÁOHU Ulhím is compassionate and merciful;
Woe to fearful hearts and to lazy hands,
Woe to the faint-hearted who have no trust!
Woe to you who have lost courage!
Those who reverentially fear YÁOHU Ulhím do not disobey His words,
Those who reverentially fear YÁOHU Ulhím seek to please Him,
Those who reverentially fear YÁOHU Ulhím prepare their hearts,
Let us fall into the hands of YÁOHU Ulhím,
Of the memorials in W. Abbey there is not one that gives a nobler thought than that inscribed on the monument to L. Lawrence - simply his name, with the date of his death, and these words: 'He feared people so little because he feared the Creator so much!'
The wife measures the degree of her husband's love, care and protection by means of his awareness of her presence, regardless of what activities he is involved with. Recalling the past will remind the husband that the attention he initially gave his prospective wife was what endeared him to her and such loving care was proof enough to the parents that she will be in safe, caring and providing hands during her married life. The wife always keeps in mind how her husband initially expressed gam showed his love, and she expects therefore that this would intensify during the course of the marriage. Often though, the husband becomes too busy with his own business affairs that the wife begins to feel neglected, alone and unwanted. This should never be allowed to happen. On the contrary, the husband must make sure that he gives his wife the attention she deserves no matter what activity his mind may be in. The husband's awareness of his wife's presence is mostly expressed by his having fine manners and demeanor toward her. The wife, in turn, determines the degree of her husband's care for her daily by means of how she perceives her husband is minding her presence and expressing it by means of his fine manners and gentlemanly attitudes toward his wife. The husband and wife must cooperate so the husband will learn to adopt fine manners in the way he expresses his love to her. If the husband treats his wife refinedly well one day and like a garbage can the next, she will feel being merely used gam abused and will reject further expressions of love from him till she is again reassured that she still really is taken as an important part of her husband's daily life. Love is not rude; love has fine manners. Which among the following refined manners does the husband or male parent in your life habitually practice?
__ Helping her on and off with her coat.
If I had the gift of being able to speak in other languages without learning them, and could speak in every language there is in all of heaven and earth, but didn't love others, I would only be making noise. If I had the gift of prophecy and knew all about what is going to happen in the future, knew everything about everything, but didn't love others, what benefit would it do? Even if I had the gift of faith that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, I would still be worth nothing at all without love. If I gave everything I have to poor people, and if I were burned alive for proclaiming the Glorious Message but didn't love others, it would be of no value whatever. Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful nor proud, never haughty nor selfish nor rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but exults whenever truth wins out. If you love someone you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him and always stake your ground in defending him. All the special gifts and powers from YÁOHU UL will someday come to an end, but love goes on forever. Someday prophecy, and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge - these gifts will disappear. Now we know so little, even with our special gifts, and the preaching of those most gifted is still so poor. But when we have been made perfect and complete, then the need for these inadequate special gifts will come to an end, and they will disappear. It's like this: when I was a child I spoke and thought and reasoned like a child does. But when I became a full-grown person my thoughts grew far beyond those of my childhood, and now I have put away the childish manners. In the same way, we can see and comprehend only a little about YÁOHU UL now, as if we were peering at His reflection in a poor mirror; but someday we are going to see Him in His completeness, face to face. Now all that I know is hazy and blurred, but then I will see everything clearly, just as clearly as YÁOHU UL sees into my heart right now. There are three things that remain - faith, hope and love - and the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13, Holy Scriptures YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12 Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
'Follow YÁOHU UL's example in everything you do, because you are His loved children. Live a life filled with love for others, following the example of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY, Who loved you and gave Himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins. And YÁOHU UL was pleased, because that sacrifice was like sweet perfume to Him. Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity or greed among you. Such sins have no place among YÁOHU UL's people. Obscene tales, foolish talk and coarse jokes - these are not for you! On the contrary, let there be gratefulness unto YÁOHU UL. You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY and of YÁOHU UL. For a greedy person is really an idolater who worships the things of this world. Don't be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the terrible anger of YÁOHU UL comes upon all those who disobey Him. Don't participate in the things these people do. For though your hearts were once full of darkness, now you are full of light from ha-Molkhiúl, and your behavior should show it! For this light within you yields only what is noble and right and true. Try to find out what is pleasing to ha-Molkhiúl (the King). Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; on the contrary, rebuke and expose them. It is shameful even to talk about the things that unholy people do in secret. But when the light shines on them, it becomes clear how evil these activities are. And where your light shines, it will expose their evil deeds. This is why it is said,
So be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity for doing what is right in these evil days. Don't act thoughtlessly, but try to comprehend what ha-Molkhiúl wants you to do. Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life! On the contrary, let the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' fill and control you. Then you will sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, making music to ha-Molkhiúl in your hearts. And you will always give 'hodayáo' (thanks) for everything to YÁOHU ABí 'be hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY. And further, you will submit to one another out of reverence for hol-MEHUSHKHÁY. You wives must submit to your husbands as you do to ha-Molkhiúl. For a husband is the head of his wife like ha-MEHUSHKHÁY is the Head of His body, the Oholyáo; He gave His life to be her Savior. As the Oholyáo submits to ha-MEHUSHKHÁY, so you wives must submit to your husbands in everything. And you husbands must love your wives with the same love hol-MEHUSHKHÁY showed the Oholyáo. He gave up His life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by baptism and YÁOHU UL's word. He did this to offer her to Himself as a glorious Oholyáo without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. On the contrary, she will be holy and without fault. In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man is actually loving himself when he loves his wife. No one hates his own body but lovingly cares for it, just like hol-MEHUSHKHÁY cares for His body, which is the Oholyáo. And we are His body. As the Scriptures say, 'A man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and the two are united into one.' This is a profound enigma, but it is an example of the way hol-MEHUSHKHÁY and the Oholyáo are one! So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must deeply respect her husband.' - Ephesians 5, Holy Scriptures
Refinement which is the opposite of Rudeness
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....LOVE.' - Gal. 5:22
The husband must seek the helpful cooperation of the wife in developing fine manners, if need be, and the wife could very well contribute to her husband's character training by waiting for him to open doors, being by her chair when she sits and politely reminding him of appointments made with her, and so on. When the wife needs to be clarified about something, no matter how seemingly insignificant, the husband would do well to:
1. Stop whatever he is busy with.
Keep in mind that YÁOHU Ulhím is love and love is never rude.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Do not be jealous of the wife of your bosom,
Do not give yourself under the dominion of a woman
Do not go near a loose woman,
Do not dally with a singing girl,
Do not look intently at a virgin,
Do not give yourself to prostitutes,
Do not look around in the alleys of a city,
Turn away your eyes from a shapely woman,
Never dine with another man's wife, Speak to people. There is nothing as nice as a cheerful word
of a warm and pleasant greeting.
Smile at people. It takes 72 muscles to frown; 14 to smile.
Call people by name. The sweetest music is the sound of his
own name.
Be friendly and helpful.
Be polite and cordial. Speak and act as if everything you do
is a genuine pleasure.
Be genuinely interested in people. You can like everybody
if you really try.
Be generous with praise - but very careful with criticism.
Be thoughtful of the feelings of others. It will be appreciated.
Be wisely tolerant of the opinions of others. There are three
sides to a controversy - yours, the other fellow's and, of course,
the right one.
Be alert to give service. What counts most in life
is what we do for others. A wife needs to really experience that her husband
is making investments in her life that will widen
the scope of her world and give her a sense of being
fulfilled and truly happy in her married life.
The husband, being the head of the marriage relationship,
should always nourish, develop, train and protect each
part in order that they all contribute to the overall
harmony and efficiency of the whole in achieving what
is best.
The husband must continually nourish his wife and children
with the Words of YÁOHU Ulhím that they may be purified by
them, washed clean and set apart to receive YÁOHU Ulhím's
best provisions in this life, and eternal life the next.
The wife's spiritual growth and progress, and active
involvement in the works of YÁOHU Ulhím should also be
monitored by her husband and given boost, plus positive
encouragement when necessary.
Discover the wife's spiritual gift and help her develop
such till she partakes of all the spiritual gifts available,
for her positive contribution to the overall edification
of her family and congregation.
Help her also to define and delegate responsibilities
to each of her subordinate member in the household and
visualize with her the future value, benefits and rewards
of everything that she is currently doing.
And so, my dear brethren, I plead with you to give your bodies
to YÁOHU UL.
Let them be a living sacrifice, holy and pure -
the kind He can accept.
When you think of what He has accomplished for you,
is this too much to ask?
Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world,
but be a new and different person with a fresh newness
in all you do and think.
Then you will learn from your own experience how His ways
will really satisfy you.
As YÁOHU UL's representative I give each of you YÁOHU UL's
warning: Be truthful in the way you evaluate yourselves,
measuring your worth by how much faith YÁOHU UL has given you.
Just like there are many parts to our bodies, so it is with
the body of hol-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah).
We are all parts of it, and it takes every one of us to make it
complete, for we each have different work to do.
So we belong to one another, and each needs all the others.
YÁOHU UL has given each of us the ability to do specific duties well.
So if YÁOHU UL has given you the ability to prophesy, then prophesy
whenever you can - as often as your faith is vigorous enough to
receive a message from YÁOHU UL.
If your gift is that of serving others, serve them well.
If you are a teacher, do a fine job of teaching. If you are
a preacher, see to it that your messages are powerful and helpful.
If YÁOHU UL has given you money, be generous in helping others
with it.
If YÁOHU UL has given you administrative ability and put you
in charge of the work of others, take the responsibility seriously.
Those who offer comfort to the sorrowing should do so with
the Yaohúshuahée kind of cheer.
Don't just pretend that you love others: really love them!
Hate what is wrong. Remain on the side of what is right.
Love one another with brotherly affection and take delight
in honoring each other.
Never be lazy in your work but serve YÁOHU UL diligently!
Be glad for all YÁOHU UL is planning for you!
Be patient in trouble, and prayerful always.
When YÁOHU UL's children are in need, you be the one
to help them out.
And get into the habit of inviting guests home for dinner or,
if they need lodging, for the night.
If someone maltreats you because you are a Yaohúshuahée,
don't curse him; pray that YÁOHU UL will bless him.
When others are happy, be happy with them. If they are sad,
share their sorrow.
Work happily together. Don't try to act big.
Don't try to get into the fine graces of important people,
but take delight in the company of ordinary folks.
And don't think you know it all!
Never pay back evil for evil.
Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honest
clear through.
Don't quarrel with anyone. Be at peace with everyone,
just as much as possible.
Dear friends, never avenge yourselves. Leave that to YÁOHU UL,
for He has said that He will repay those who deserve it.
Don't take the law into your own hands. On the contrary,
feed your enemy if he is hungry.
If he is thirsty give him something to drink and you will be
'heaping coals of fire on his head.'
In other words, he will feel ashamed of himself for his having
offended you.
Don't let evil get the upper hand but conquer evil by doing
kindness.
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'

'Treat the older women as you would your mother, and treat the younger
women with all purity like your own siblings.
The Oholyáo (Congregation) should care for any widow who has really
no one else to care for her.
But if she has children or grandchildren, their first responsibility
is to show charity at home and repay their parents by taking care
of them.
This is something that pleases YÁOHU UL so very much.
But a woman who is a real widow, one who is really alone in this world,
has placed her hope in YÁOHU UL. Night and day she asks YÁOHU UL for
help and spends much time in prayer.
But the widow who lives only for pleasure is spiritually dead.
Give these directives to the Oholyáo (Congregation) in order that
the widows you support will not be criticized.
But those who won't care for their own true relatives, especially
those living in the same household, have denied what we believe.
Such people are really worse, compared to unbelievers.
A widow who is put on the list for support must be a woman
who is at least sixty years old and was faithful to her husband.
She must be well respected by everyone because of the kindness
she has carried out.
Has she brought up her children well?
Has she been kind to outlanders?
Has she served other Yaohúshuahím humbly?
Has she helped those who are in difficulties?
Has she always been ready to do kindness?
The younger widows should not be on the list, because their physical
cravings will overpower their devotion to hol-MEHUSHKHÁY and they
will want to remarry.
Then they would be guilty of breaking their previous pledge.
Besides, they are likely to become lazy and spend their time gossiping
from house to house, prying into other people's affairs and saying
things they ought not to.
So I advise these younger widows to marry again, have children,
and take care of their own homes. Then the enemy will not be able
to say anything against them.
For I am afraid that some of them have already deviated and
now are obeying ha-satán.
If a Yaohúshuayah woman has relatives who are widows, she must take
care of them and not put the responsibility on the Oholyáo.
Then the Oholyáo can care for widows who are truly alone.'
- 1 YÁOHU-tam (Timothy) 5:2-16, Holy Scriptures
Charity which is the opposite of Unkindness
Always devoting myself and time to helping
and being kind to others, being my own loving
service unto my Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA.
And I know I always reap whatever I sow.
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....LOVE.' - Gal. 5:22

With all your soul reverentially fear YÁOHU Ulhím
With all your might love your Maker,
Reverentially fear YÁOHU Ulhím and honor the priest,
Hold out your hand to the poor,
Give generously to all the living;
Do not avoid those who weep,
Do not hesitate to visit the sick,
In all you do, remember the end of your life,
A lad of 16 years named William left home to seek his future,
all his belongings tied in a bundle carried in his hand.
He met an old canal-boat captain. William told him his father
was too poor to keep him and the only trade he knew was soap
and candle making.
The old man then kneeled and prayed earnestly for the boy and
advised: 'Someone will soon be the leading soap-maker in New York.
It can be you as well as someone else. Be an upright man, give your
heart to your Maker, give to Him all that belongs to Him, make an
honest soap; give a full pound, and I'm sure you'll be a prosperous
and rich man.'
Into the city, he remembered the captain's words, and though poor
and lonesome, he united with a religious charity. The first dollar
earned, he gave 1/10 to for His cause. Ten cents of every dollar
were sacred.
Having regular employment, he soon became a partner and later sole
owner of the business. He made an honest soap, gave a full pound
and directed his bookkeeper to open an account with 1/10 of all
income to be given to charity.
The business grew, so he gave 2/10, 3/10, 4/10, 5/10 and finally
he was giving all of his income to the needy!
This is the saga of William Colgate, who has given millions
to charitable works.
I now make a quality decision to become a marriage
rebuilder, whether it be my own marriage or those
of others seeking my advice and help.
I will not allow nor advise anyone who is separated
from his/her marriage partner to date someone else.
Blames, accusations and counter-accusations are never
to be practiced nor tolerated between marriage partners,
whether living together or separated from each other.
The wife should learn how to make scriptural appeals
in case her husband is planning to divorce her.
I now fully realize that reconciling marriages really
takes time, much effort and deep sacrifices on the
part of the marriage partners concerned.
Every marriage partner should never lower his or her
scriptural convictions and moral norms merely for the
reason of saving the marriage.
It is imperative that each of the marriage partners
protect the other with a prayer for a hedge of thorns
on a daily basis.
I will avoid evil influences and bad habits which are
detrimental to my relationships with those I love.
I will diligently inculcate exemplary, scriptural traits
in the lives of those around me by actually living and
showing them YÁOHU Ulhím's noble life principles.
I am determined to learn and meet the basic needs
of those whom YÁOHU Ulhím has given me to love, protect,
nurture and care for.

Final Examination Short Quiz: True or False
Everyone who has a broken marriage should try to rebuild it.
Once parents give their sons and daughters away in marriage,
their influence should be minimal in the marriage.
The major cause of marital failure is incompatibility
between partners.
If a wife finds out that her husband is being unfaithful
to her, she should confront him with the evidence forthwith.
When a partner leaves and begins living immorally with someone
else, there is little the other partner can really do.
Unless both partners work hard to put a marriage back together,
it won't be put back together again.
If a believing couple marries, and later on the husband wants
to divorce her, his wife should show full submission by giving
it to him.
A husband who was divorced and remarried could return to his
first wife if the second wife died and the first wife had
not remarried since they separated.
If an adulterous partner refuses to repent, the other partner
should just be patient and allow for more time.
The basic needs of a husband and a wife are really the same
since YÁOHU Ulhím gave us all the same human nature.
If you can find a truly noble wife, she is worth more than
valuable gems! Her husband can trust fully in her, and she
will richly satisfy his needs.
She will not hinder him, but help him all her life.
She finds wool and flax and busily spins it.
She buys imported foods, brought by ship from far-away ports.
She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household,
and plans the day's work for her servant girls. She goes out
to inspect a field, and buys it; with her own hands she plants
a vineyard.
She is vigorous; a hard worker, and watches for bargains.
She works far into the night!
She sews for the poor, and generously helps those in need.
She has no fear of winter for her household, for she has made
warm clothes for them all.
She also makes coverings for her bed; her own clothing
is beautifully made - a purple gown of pure linen.
Her husband is well known, for he takes his seat among civic
leaders in the council chamber.
She makes belted linen garments to sell to the merchants.
She is a woman of energy and dignity, and has no fear of old age.
When she speaks, her words are wise, and kindness is the rule
for everything she says.
She watches carefully all that goes on throughout her household,
and is never lazy.
Her children rise up and bless her; so does her husband.
He praises her with these words: 'There are many fine women
in the world, but you are the best of them all!'
Charm can be deceptive and beauty doesn't last, but a woman
who reverentially fears YÁOHU UL shall be greatly praised.
Praise her for the many excellent deeds she does. These kind,
noble deeds of hers shall bring her honor and recognition
from people of renown.
Proverbs 31:10-31, Holy Scriptures
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Wives, always be submissive to your husbands; for then if they
refuse to hearken when you talk to them about ha-Molkhiúl,
they will be won by your respectful, pure behavior.
Your exemplary behavior will speak to them better than any words!
Don't be concerned about the outward beauty that depends on jewelry,
or beautiful clothes, or hair arrangement.
Be beautiful inwardly, in your hearts, with the enduring charm
of a gentle, quiet and meek spirit which is so valuable to YÁOHU UL.
That kind of deep beauty was seen in the devout women of old,
who depended fully upon YÁOHU UL and were submissive to their
own husbands.
Soroáh, for example, obeyed her husband Abruhám, honoring him
as head of the house. And if you do the same, you will be
following in her steps, like fine daughters and doing what
is right; then you will not need to fear offending your husband.
You husbands must be careful of your wives, being thoughtful
of their needs and honoring them as the weaker sex.
Remember that you and your wife are heirs together in receiving
YÁOHU UL's gift of new life, and if you don't treat her as you
should, your prayers will not get ready answers.
And now this word to all of you: You should be like one big happy
family, full of sympathy toward each other, loving one another
with tender hearts and humble minds.
Don't repay evil for evil. Don't snap back at those who say
unkind remarks about you.
On the contrary, pray for YÁOHU UL's help for them, for we are
to be kind to others, and to this you were called: that you may
inherit a blessing.
If you want a happy, blessed life, keep control of your tongue,
and guard your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and
do what is right.
Try to live in peace even if you have to run after it to catch
and take hold of it! For YÁOHU UL is watching his children,
hearkening to their prayers.
But YÁOHU UL's face is hard against those who commit wickedness.
Usually no one will hurt you for wanting to do what is right.
But even if they should, you are to be envied, for YÁOHU UL
will reward you for it.
Quietly trust yourself to hol-MEHUSHKHÁY your Molkhiúl and if
anybody asks why you believe as you do, be ready to tell him,
and do it in a gentle and respectful way.
Do what is right; then if men speak against you, calling you
evil names, they will become ashamed of themselves for falsely
accusing you when you have only done what is right.
Remember, if YÁOHU UL wants you to suffer, it is better to suffer
for doing what is right, than for doing wrong!
Hol-MEHUSHKHÁY also suffered. He died once for the sins of all us
guilty sinners, although He Himself was innocent of any wrongdoing
at any time, that He might bring us safely home to YÁOHU UL.
But though His body died, His 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) lived on,
and it was in the spirit that He paid visit to the spirits in
prison, and proclaimed to them - spirits of those who, long before
in the days of Nókha, had refused to hearken to YÁOHU UL, though He
waited patiently for them while Nókha was building the ark.
Yet only eight persons were saved from drowning in that
cataclysmic flood.
(That, by the way, is what water immersion pictures for us:
In water immersion we show that we have been saved from death and
doom by the resurrection of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY; not because our bodies
are washed clean by the water, but because in being immersed,
we are turning to YÁOHU UL and asking Him to cleanse our hearts
from sin.)
And now hol-MEHUSHKHÁY is in heaven, occupying His seat upon
the place of honor next to YÁOHU ABí (the Father), with all the

Kindness which is the opposite of Antipathy

'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....Uprightness.' - Gal. 5:22
You will begin to actually develop the traits and qualities
in you which are vital in relating with YÁOHU Ulhím and others,
whether in marriage or in being happily unmarried.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
All counselors praise the counsel they give,
Be wary of a counselor,
He may cast the lot against you
Do not consult the one who regards you with suspicion;
Do not consult with a woman about her rival
But associate with a upright person
And heed the counsel of your own heart,
For our own mind sometimes keeps us better informed
But above all pray to the Most High YÁOHU Ulhím
A reputable newsmagazine conducted a contest, and the following poem

Everyone who has a broken marriage should try to rebuild it.
False. Illegal marriages should be dissolved because
such marriages are 'void ab initio' (invalid upon onset).
Examples of illicit marriages are homosexual marriages,
marriages between close relatives and marriages between
humans and animals - (Leviticus 18:1-18).
A marriage that was dissolved by the husband is not
to be rebuilt nor the parties reconciled after the wife
remarries another.
(Deuteronomy 24:1-4; YarmiYÁOHU 3:1)
Once parents give their sons and daughters away in marriage,
their influence should be minimal in the marriage.
False. Their influence should still be significant though
much different than before. Parents must continue to provide
protection, emotional support, wise counsel and teaching
spiritual truths to the grandchildren.
(Proverbs 23:22, Titus 2:3-5 and Deuteronomy 4:9)
The major cause of marital failure is incompatibility
between partners.
False. The major causes of marital failures are the lusts
of the flesh, the temptations from ha-satán and the worldly
wisdom, pride and fears that come from the evil world.
YÁOHU Ulhím has provided mighty spiritual weapons that must
be used to subdue, overcome and conquer these wicked influences.
(1 Corinthians 10:13; 2 Corinthians 10:4-5;
1 YÁOHU-khánam 2:15-16)
If a wife finds out that her husband is being unfaithful
to her, she should confront him with the evidence forthwith.
False. She must quickly engage in a serious soul searching,
cleansing of her life and home, begin to really seek YÁOHU Ulhím
and let Him show her what need to be repented of.
She must learn to wear the full armor of YÁOHU Ulhím then
bind ha-satán, praying daily for a 'hedge of thorns' around
her husband.
To directly confront ha-satán, who is controlling the adulterous
activities of the husband, without first binding him will only
lead to carnal fights, arguments, animosities and early divorce.
(ManYÁOHU 7:3-5; Mark 3:27; Ephesians 6:12)
When a partner leaves and begins living immorally with someone
else, there is little the other partner can really do.
YÁOHU Ulhím has provided mighty weapons to pull down
the fortresses of ha-satán and to expunge false arguments
and fallacies which deceived the marriage partner, holding
him or her captive.
Everyone involved must contribute to the reconciling and
repair of the marriage, including the children, parents
and the Oholyáo (Congregation).
The 'innocent' marriage partner should quickly begin to seek
YÁOHU Ulhím with all his or her heart, repent from wicked ways
and do whatever He directs to remove the causes and repair the
damage or breach in the marriage relationship.
(2 Corinthians 10:4-5; Hoshúa 2:5-7)
To be continued....
I am YÁOHU your Ulhím, so never behave like the pagans -
like the people of Egypt where you lived so long, or the people
of Canaan where I am going to take you. You must obey only My laws,
and you must carry them out in detail, for I am YÁOHU your Ulhím.
If you obey them you shall live.
I am YÁOHU Ulhím.
None of you shall marry a near relative, for I am YÁOHU Ulhím.
Do not disgrace your father by having sexual intercourse with your
mother, nor any other of your father's wives.
Do not have sexual intercourse with your female sibling or
half-sibling, whether the daughter of your father or your mother,
whether brought up in the same household or elsewhere.
You shall not have sexual intercourse with your granddaughter -
the daughter of either your son or your daughter - for she is
a close relative.
You may not have sexual intercourse with a female half-sibling
- your father's wife's daughter; nor your aunt - your father's
sibling - because she is so closely related to your father;
nor your aunt - your mother's sibling - because she is a close
relative of your mother; nor your aunt - the wife of your father's
brother.'
You may not marry your daughter-in-law - your son's wife;
nor your brother's wife, for she is your brother's. You may not
marry both a woman and her daughter or granddaughter, for they are
near relatives, and to do so is horrible wickedness.
You shall not marry two female siblings, for they will be rivals.
However, if your wife dies, then it is all right to marry her
female sibling.
There must be no sexual relationship with a woman who is in
her monthly menstruation; nor with anyone else's wife, to defile
yourself with her.
You shall not give any of your children to Molech, burning
them upon his altar; never profane the 'Shúam' (Name) of your UL,
for I am YÁOHU Ulhím.
Homosexuality is absolutely forbidden, for it is an enormous sin.
A man shall have no sexual intercourse with any female animal,
thus defiling himself; and a woman must never give herself to
a male animal, to mate with it; this is a shockingly evil perversion.
Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for these are
the activities that the pagans do; and because they do them,
I am going to cast them out from the land into which you are going.
That whole country is defiled with this kinds of activity;
that is why I am punishing the people living there, and will throw
them out of the land.
You must rigorously obey all of My laws and ordinances, and you must
not do any of these abominable things; these laws apply both to you
who are born in the nation of Yaoshorúl and to foreigners, living
among you.
Yes, all these abominations have been done continually by the
people of the land where I am taking you, and the land is defiled.
Do not do these evil deeds or I will throw you out of the land,
just as I will throw out the nations that live there now.
Whoever does any of these horrible deeds shall be excommunicated
from this nation.
Therefore, you must be very sure to obey My laws, and do not practice
any of these horrible customs.
Do not defile yourselves with the evil deeds of those living
in the land where you are going.
For I am YÁOHU your Ulhím.
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Children, obey your parents; this is the right thing to do
because YÁOHU UL has placed them in authority over you.
Honor your father and mother.
This is the first of YÁOHU UL's Ten Commandments that ends
with a promise. And this is the promise: that if you honor your
father and mother, yours will be a long and fully-enriched life.
And now a word to you parents. Don't exasperate your children
by continual scolding and discouraging remarks thus making them
resentful.
Rather, bring them up with the teachings and loving discipline
YÁOHU UL Himself approves.
Workers, obey your employers; be eager to give them your very best.
Serve them as you would hol-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah) Himself.
Don't work hard only when your boss is observing and then shirk
when he isn't looking.
Work hard and with gladness all the time, as though working
for ha-MEHUSHKHÁY, doing the will of YÁOHU UL with all your hearts.
Remember, YÁOHU UL will pay you for each fine job you do, whether
you are slave or free.
And you employers should treat your workers right, just as
I have told them to treat you. Don't keep threatening them;
remember, you yourselves are serving hol-MEHUSHKHÁY; you have
the same Manager they do, and He has no favorites.
Last of all I want to remind you that your vigor must come
from YÁOHU UL's mighty power within you. Put on all of YÁOHU UL's
armor so you will be able to endure against all schemes and tricks
of ha-satán.
For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood,
but against persons without bodies - the evil rulers of the unseen
world, those mighty satanic beings and horrible evil princes of
darkness who rule this world; and against huge numbers of wicked
spirits in the unseen world.
So use every piece of YÁOHU UL's armor to resist the enemy
whenever he attacks, and when it is all over, you will still
be enduring.
But to do this, you will need the durable belt of truth and
the breastplate of YÁOHU UL's uprightness. Wear shoes that are
able to speed you on as you proclaim the Glorious Message of peace
with YÁOHU UL.
In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop
the fiery arrows aimed at you by ha-satán. And you will need
the helmet of salvation and the sword of the 'RÚKHA' - which is
the Word of YÁOHU UL.
And pray all the time. Ask YÁOHU UL for anything in line with
the will of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Holy Spirit). Plead with Him,
reminding Him of your needs, and keep praying earnestly for all
Yaohúshuahím everywhere.
Pray for me, too, and ask YÁOHU UL to give me the right words
as I boldly tell others about Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA and as I explain
to them that His salvation is for the Gentiles too.
I am in chains now for proclaiming this message from YÁOHU UL.
But pray that I will keep on speaking out boldly for Him even
here in prison, as I should.
Tychicus, who is a much loved brother and faithful helper in
ha-Molkhiúl's work, will tell you all about how I am getting along.
I am dispatching him to you for just this purpose, to let you know
how we are and be encouraged by his report.
May YÁOHU UL give peace to you, my Yaohúshuahím brethren, and love,
with faith from YÁOHU ABí (the Father) and Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA
hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.
May YÁOHU UL's favor and blessing be upon all who truly love
our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.
Ephesians 6, Holy Scriptures
Dependability which is the opposite of Perfidy
Remaining loyal, faithful and devoted to my
YÁOHU ABí, His Word and my loved ones or
marriage partner, if any, especially in times
of pressures and temptations.
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....LOYALTY.' - Gal. 5:22
You will pray for your relations and loved ones and regularly
plead the 'DAM' (blood) of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA to protect and
safekeep them, and request that 'hedges of thorns' surround
them always.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Do not say, 'It was YÁOHU Ulhím's fault that I fell away';
Do not say, 'It was He who led me to the wrong way';
YÁOHU Ulhím hates all abominations;
It was He who created humankind in the beginning,
If you prefer, you can keep the commandments,
He has placed before you fire and water;
Before each person are life and death,
For great is the wisdom of YÁOHU Ulhím;
His eyes are on those who reverentially fear Him,
He has not commanded anyone to be wicked,
1. The wonder of its formation - the way in which it came into
being is one of the enigmas of time.
2. The wonder of its unity - a library of 66 books, yet one book.
3. The wonder of its age - most ancient of all books.
4. The wonder of its popularity - most popular of all time and
among all other books.
5. The wonder of its interest - the only book in the world read
by all classes and types of people.
6. The wonder of its language - written largely by uneducated men,
yet the best book from a literary viewpoint.
7. The wonder of its preservation - the most hated of all books,
yet it continues to exist!
True or False
Continuation....
Unless both partners work hard to put a marriage back together,
it won't be put back together again.
False. Marriages are sealed by means of sacred vows and
YÁOHU Ulhím has promulgated scriptural, moral norms that
are to be adhered to by both partners in the relationship.
Sacred marriage vows ensure the commitment of both partners
to the marriage relationship whether they feel like it or not,
in plenty or in want, in failures and successes, till death
do they part.
Each one is fully responsible to YÁOHU Ulhím for his or her
own words, promises and commitments, especially sacred vows.
When either one of the partners decide to rebuild and repair
his or her marriage relationship, they are in the majority
because YÁOHU Ulhím is always on the side of the reconciling
partner.
With YÁOHU Ulhím, there is nothing impossible.
(ManYÁOHU 12:36-37; Ecclesiastes 5:4-5; Romans 8:31-39)
If a believing couple marries, and later on the husband wants
to divorce her, his wife should show full submission by giving
it to him.
False. Submission to one's own authorities are never to violate
YÁOHU Ulhím's higher scriptural, moral laws.
In cases of conflicts of commands between two authorities,
the one with the higher authority should be obeyed because
the other is also bound to obey the higher.
Soroáh was exemplified in the Scriptures because of her
full obedience to her husband and complete trust upon
YÁOHU Ulhím.
Female believers are urged to follow her example in complete
submission, and to use wise, humble appeals and fervent prayers
to prevent divorces and breakups.
Scriptures declare: YÁOHU Ulhím hates divorce!
And so must everyone else hate it, too.
A husband who was divorced and remarried could return to his
first wife if the second wife died and the first wife had
not remarried since they separated.
True. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 is against the wife returning
to her first husband if he divorced her and she remarried
someone else.
The prohibition does not include the husband whose wife
left him and whose wife never remarried someone else.
The wife remains undefiled because she hasn't gone to bed
with another man, and so her husband may still reconcile
with her, and should do so.
Malachi 2:13-16 further allows for reconciliation in cases
excepted in the main prohibition found in Deuteronomy.
If an adulterous partner refuses to repent, the other partner
should just be patient and allow for more time.
False. If, after having done all, the other partner still
refuses to repent and reconcile with his espouse, then he
must be warned that he will be given over to ha-satán
so his physical body would be punished to get rid of the
lusts of the flesh, while giving him opportunity to repent
and return to live by his marriage commitments.
(1 Corinthians 11:30-33 and 5:5)
The basic needs of a husband and a wife are really the same
since YÁOHU Ulhím gave us all the same human nature.
False. The husband is a male, and the wife is a female,
and naturally, they have different abilities, desires
and needs.
The husband must learn and know his wife's needs and
limitations, and tenderly guide and care for her in ways
that would please YÁOHU Ulhím by lovingly providing for her.
The wife, on the other hand, must find out, too, her husband's
abilities, needs, weaknesses and goals, and aspire to please
YÁOHU Ulhím by being an excellent help meet to her own husband.
(1 Káfos 3:1-7; Genesis 2:18)
'Suppose a man marries a woman but later discovers something
about her that is shameful. So he writes her a letter of divorce,
gives it to her, and sends her away.
If she afterward leaves and marries another man and the second
husband also divorces her or dies, the former husband may not
marry her again, for she has been defiled.
That would be detestable to YÁOHU Ulhím.
You never must bring guilt upon the land YÁOHU your Ulhím
is giving you as a special heritage.' - Deuteronomy 24:1-4
'And YÁOHU Ulhím said to Mehushúa:
Say to the people of Yaoshorúl: 'Suppose a man's wife deviates away
and is unfaithful to her husband.
Suppose she sleeps with another man, but there is no witness since
she was not caught in the act.
If her husband becomes jealous and suspicious of his wife,
even if she has not defiled herself, the husband must bring
his wife to the priest with an offering of two quarts of barley
flour to be offered on her behalf.
Do not mix it with olive oil or frankincense, for it is a jealousy
offering - an offering of inquiry to find out if she is guilty.
The priest must therewith bring her before YÁOHU Ulhím.
He must take some holy water in a clay jar and mix it with dust
from the Tabernacle floor.
When he has brought her before YÁOHU Ulhím, he must unbind her hair
and place the offering of inquiry - the jealousy offering - in her
hands to determine whether or not her husband's suspicions are
justified. The priest will arise before her, holding the jar
of bitter water that brings a curse to those who are guilty.
The priest will put the woman under oath and say to her,
'If no other man has slept with you, and you have not defiled
yourself by being unfaithful, may you be immune from the effects
of this bitter water that causes the curse.
But if you have deviated away while under the authority of your
husband and defiled yourself by sleeping with another man'
- at this point the priest must put the woman under this oath -
'then may the people see that YÁOHU Ulhím's curse is upon you
when He makes you barren.
Now may this water that brings the curse seep through your body and
make you barren.'
And the woman will be required to say, 'Yes, let it be so.'
Then the priest will write these curses on a piece of leather
and wash them off into the bitter water.
He will then make the woman drink the bitter water, so it may bring
on the curse and cause bitter suffering in cases of guilt.
Then the priest will take the jealousy offering from the woman's
hand, lift it up before YÁOHU Ulhím, and carry it to the altar.
He will take a handful as a token portion and burn it on the altar.
Then he will require the woman to drink the water.
If she has defiled herself by being unfaithful to her husband,
the water that brings the curse will cause bitter suffering.
She will become barren, and her name will become a curse word
among her people.
But if she has not defiled herself and is pure, she will be unharmed
and will still be able to have children.
This is the ritual law for dealing with jealousy. If a woman defiles
herself by being unfaithful to her husband, or if a man is overcome
with jealousy and suspicion that his wife has been unfaithful.
The husband must present his wife before YÁOHU Ulhím, and the priest
will apply this complete ritual law to her.
The husband will be innocent of any guilt in this matter,
but his wife will be held accountable for her sin.'
- Numbers 5:11-31
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12

Are we not all children of the same Father? Are we not all created
by the same YÁOHU Ulhím? Then why are we faithless to each other,
violating the covenant of our forefathers?
In YAOHÚ-dah, in Yaoshorúl, and in Yaohúshua-oléym there is treachery,
for the men of YAOHÚ-dah have defiled YÁOHU Ulhím's beloved holy
shrine by marrying women who worship idols.
May YÁOHU Ulhím cut off from the nation of Yaoshorúl every last man
who is guilty of this and yet still brings an offering to YÁOHU Ulhím
Tzavulyáo.
Here is another thing you do. You cover YÁOHU Ulhím's altar with
tears, weeping and groaning because He pays no heed to your offerings,
and He doesn't accept them with delight.
You cry out, 'Why has YÁOHU Ulhím abandoned us?'
I'll tell you why!
Because YÁOHU Ulhím witnessed the sacred vows you and your wife
made to each other on your wedding day when you were young.
But you have been treacherous to her, though she remained your
faithful companion, the wife of your marriage vows.
Didn't YÁOHU Ulhím make you one with your wife?
In body and spirit you are His. And what does He want?
Holy children from your marriage.
So guard yourself; remain loyal to the wife of your youth.
'For I hate divorce!' says YÁOHU UL Yaoshorúl.
'It is as cruel as putting on a victim's blood-soaked coat,'
says YÁOHU Ulhím Tzavulyáo.
'So control yourself; always remain faithful to your wife!'
Malachi 2:10-16, Holy Scriptures
Fidelity which is the opposite of Treachery
Living true to YÁOHU Ulhím's Word and
to my sacred vows, promises and commitments,
because I am a representative of my Molkhiúl
YAOHÚSHUA in all that I think, say or do.
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....FAITHFULNESS.' - Gal. 5:22
You will now begin on tasks and take steps toward scriptural goals
with YÁOHU Ulhím, and begin believing Him for the difficult and
the impossible, knowing that nothing is difficult for YÁOHU Ulhím.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)

Happy is the husband of a noble wife;
A faithful wife brings happiness to her husband,
A noble wife is a great blessing;
Whether rich or poor, his heart is content,
Of three things my heart is frightened,
Slander in the city, the gathering of a mob,
But it is heartache and sorrow when a wife is jealous of a rival,
A bad wife is a chafing yoke;
A drunken wife arouses great anger;
The proud look betrays an unchaste wife;
Keep a rigorous watch over a stubborn daughter,
Be on guard against her impudent eye,
As a thirsty traveler opens his mouth
A wife's charm delights her husband,
A silent wife is a gift from YÁOHU Ulhím,
A modest wife adds charm to charm,
Like the sun rising in the heights of YÁOHU Ulhím,
Like the glowing lamp on the holy lampholder,
Like golden pillars on silver bases,
My child, keep securely the bloom of your youth,
Seek a fertile field within the whole plain,
So your offspring will prosper, and,
A prostitute is regarded as spittle,
An impious wife is given as a portion to a lawless man,
A shameless woman continually acts disgracefully,
A stubborn wife is regarded as a dog,
A wife honoring her husband will seem wise to all,
Happy is the husband of a noble wife;
A loud-voiced and garrulous wife
The Douglas County Daily Post carried the tale of a proposal
made by an 8-year-old lad, who when he asked his little girlfriend
to marry him was rejected on the grounds that in her family
only relatives married!
When he demanded a clearer explanation she said, 'If you and me
were relatives we could get married, but we are not! In my family
my daddy married my mother. My grandfather married my grandmother,
and my uncles are all married to my aunts. So you see, we can't
get married, cause we're not relatives!'
True or False
A child would most likely be corrupted if allowed to live
with a wicked parent or step-parent who have no regard for
anything holy or scriptural.
If a father leaves or a separation occurs, the mother should
try her best to fill the father's role in raising up the
children.
A divorced father should not expect his children to really
obey his counsel and advice.
Since the sins of the parents are carried on to their
children up to the third and fourth generations, you can
be sure that sons and daughters will also divorce their
marriage partners if their parents are divorced.
Children should be frankly told the causes of their parents'
arguments, conflicts and eventual divorce.
The child whose parents are divorced will continue to have
a damaged self-image throughout his or her life.
With the limited time available, a parent should find out
what his children delight in doing and do it with them.
Until one party remarries, the children should be given hope
that the parents can get back together again.
Children should try to avoid the pointed queries of others
about their parents' divorce.
A father ceases to be an umbrella of protection after
he abandons his wife and children.
Children of divorced parents are likely to grow up
being criminals, homosexuals and drug addicts.
Your parents being divorced could be the reason why
you turned out that way but never make that an excuse
to continue living the wrong way.
After divorce and separation, it is right to try to get
in touch with your separated children so you can spy on
what your partner is now doing.
It is wrong to obligate your children to take care of you
when you get older.
You should try your best to explain to your children
your 'justified' side of what really happened which led
to the marriage breakdown.
It is only right to shield your children from the wicked
influences of your separated marriage partner.
It is the principal responsibility of the Oholyáo (Congregation)
teachers to teach your children and grandchildren the Word and
commands of YÁOHU Ulhím.
It is stupid for the children to take up offenses on either
side of their parents during marriage conflicts.
Right or wrong, the children should side with their mother,
in cases of conflicts between parents.
It is but gentlemanly and morally correct on the part of the
husband to attend the second wedding of his wife to another
man and give the newlyweds his blessing, and tell his children
to take the second husband for their new father in the family.
Please write down your answers and check against the
correct ones to be explained in our forthcoming releases.
'Children, obey your parents because you belong to YÁOHU UL,
for this is the right thing to do.
'Honor your father and mother.' This is the first of the Ten
Commandments that ends with a promise.
And this is the promise: If you honor your father and mother,
'you will live a long life, full of blessing.'
And now a word to you fathers. Don't exasperate your children

'And now, O Yaoshorúl, hearken carefully to these laws I teach you,
and obey them if you want to live and enter into and possess the land
given you by YÁOHU Ulhím of your forefathers.
Do not add other laws or subtract from these; just obey them,
for they are from YÁOHU your UL. You have seen what YÁOHU Ulhím
did to you at Baal-Peor, where He ruined many people for worshiping
idols. But all of you who were faithful to YÁOHU your UL are still
alive today.
These are the laws for you to obey when you arrive in the land
where you will live. They are from YÁOHU our UL. He has given
them to me to pass on to you.
If you obey them they will give you a reputation for wisdom and
intelligence. When the surrounding nations hear these laws they
will exclaim, 'What other nation is as wise and prudent like
Yaoshorúl!' For what other nation, great or small, has the
Creator Eternal among them, as YÁOHU our UL is here among us
whenever we call upon Him?
And what nation, no matter how great, has laws as fair as these
I am giving you today?
But watch out! Be very careful never to forget what you have
seen YÁOHU Ulhím doing for you. May His miracles have a deep
and permanent impression upon your lives! Tell your children
and your grandchildren about the glorious miracles He did.
Tell them especially about the day you arose before YÁOHU Ulhím
at Mount Horeb, and He told me, 'Summon the people before Me and
I will direct them, in order that they will learn always to
reverence Me, and so they can teach My laws to their children.'
You arose at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain burned
with fire; flames shot far into the sky, surrounded by black
clouds and deep darkness.
And YÁOHU Ulhím spoke to you from the fire; you heard His words
but didn't see Him. He proclaimed the laws you must obey -
the Ten Commandments - and wrote them on two 'ebaním' tablets.
Yes, it was at that time that YÁOHU Ulhím commanded me to issue
the laws you must obey when you arrive in the Promised Land.
But beware! You didn't see the form of YÁOHU Ulhím that day as
He spoke to you from the fire at Mount Horeb, so never defile
yourselves by trying to make a statue of YÁOHU Ulhím - an idol
in any form, whether of a man, woman, animal, bird, a small animal
that runs along the ground, or a fish.
And do not look up into the sky to worship the sun, moon, or cocavím.
YÁOHU Ulhím may permit other nations to get away with this, but not
you.
YÁOHU Ulhím has rescued you from prison - Egypt - to be His special
people, His own inheritance; this is what you are today. But He was
angry with me because of you; He vowed that I could not go over the
Yardayán River into the fertile land He has given you as your own
inheritance.
I must die here on this side of the river. Beware lest you break
the covenant YÁOHU your UL has made with you! You will break it
if you make any idols, for YÁOHU your UL has seriously forbidden
this. He is a devouring fire, a jealous YÁOHU Ulhím.
In the future, when your children and grandchildren are born
and you have been in the land a long time, and you have defiled
yourselves by making idols, and YÁOHU your UL is very angry because
of your sin, heaven and earth are witnesses that you shall be quickly
ruined in that land.
Soon you will go over the Yardayán River and conquer that land.
But your days over there will be brief; you will then be utterly
ruined. For YÁOHU Ulhím will scatter you among the nations,
and you will be but few in number.
There, far away, you will worship idols made from wood and rock,
idols that neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.
But you will also begin to search again for YÁOHU your UL,
and you shall find Him when you search for Him with all your
hearts and souls.
When those bitter days have come upon you in the latter times,
you will finally return to YÁOHU your UL and hearken to what
He tells you. For YÁOHU your UL is merciful - He will not
abandon you nor ruin you nor forget the promises He has made
to your forefathers.
In all epochs, going back to the time when YÁOHU Ulhím created
man upon the earth, search from one end of the heavens to the
other to see if you can find anything like this: An entire nation
heard the voice of YÁOHU Ulhím speaking to it from fire, as you
did, and lived!
Where else will you ever find another example of YÁOHU Ulhím's
removing a nation from its slavery by means of terrible plagues,
mighty miracles, war and terror? Yet that is what YÁOHU your UL
did for you in Egypt, right before your very eyes.
He did these so you would realize that YÁOHU is UL, and that
there is no one else like Him. He let you hear His voice
directing you from heaven, and He let you see His great pillar
of fire upon the earth; you even heard His words from the midst
of the fire.
It was because He loved your forefathers and determined to bless
their offsprings that He Himself brought you out from Egypt with
a terrific display of power. He drove away other nations greater
by far than you, and gave you their land as an inheritance, as it
is today. This is your wonderful thought for the day: YÁOHU is UL
both in heaven and down here upon the earth; and there is no Eternal
Creator other than Him!
You must obey these laws that I will tell you today, in order that
all will be well with you and your children, and that you will live
forever in the land YÁOHU your UL is giving you.'
Deuteronomy 4:1-40, Holy Scriptures
Responsibility which is the opposite of Irresponsibility
Utilizing all my talents, gifts and abilities
in order to fulfill my moral and scriptural
obligations unto YÁOHU Ulhím, His Oholyáo
and to my family.
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....FAITHFULNESS.' - Gal. 5:22
You will prayerfully evaluate your relationships with your
parents and/or children, as the case may be, and begin to
seek YÁOHU UL's ways of improving them to His delight and
for His glory and praise.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Hearken to your father, O children;
For YÁOHU Ulhím honors a father above his children,
Those who honor their father covers for many sins,
Those who honor their father will receive happiness
Those who respect their father will have long life,
Honor your father by word and deed,
For a father's blessing fortifies the houses of the children,
Do not glorify yourself by dishonoring your father,
The glory of one's father is one's own glory,
My child, help your father in his old age,
For kindness to a father will not be unrecalled,
Whoever forsakes a father is like a blasphemer,
As a veteran judge for some twenty-five years in the Municipal
Courts of Chicago and the Circuit Court of Cook County, Ill.,
Jacob M. Brande lays his finger on some fifteen causes of juvenile
delinquency. He believes that many of these factors could be
controlled if parents and officials knew the causes, and then
did something about them. Here are the causes in condensed form:
1. Ruinous toys, games and amusements
True or False
A child would most likely be corrupted if allowed to live
with a wicked parent or step-parent who have no regard for
anything holy or scriptural.
True. That's why it is important to inculcate early on
in the life of a child YÁOHU Ulhím's scriptural principles
on right conduct and upright living.
This way, no matter what happens, the child would have had
the wisdom to differentiate between right and wrong, plus
the will to avoid evil and cling to what is right, regardless
of whom he or she grows up with.
When a child has been taught scriptural behavioral principles
and moral conduct, and if he or she has seen right moral
conduct exemplified in the life of either of the parents,
he or she will be able to see the difference and then prefer
to cling what is morally and scripturally right.
Mehushúa (Moses) witnessed the passing pleasures of sin
and preferred to suffer with his own kindred when he grew up,
for the sake of what is right.
Samu-Ul (Samuel) also was exposed to wickedness when he grew up
together with the sons of Uli (Eli), yet he remained upright.
If a father leaves or a separation occurs, the mother should
try her best to fill the father's role in raising up the
children.
False. On the contrary, the mother should emphasize to the
children living with her that she is their mother and not their
father.
Though the sex of each child is inborn, yet sexuality must be
taught to them during the early stages of their lives. This is
to avoid confusion.
Children must be taught the differences between male and female
roles and behavior. They must be trained for their future roles
in manners which are sexually differentiable. Females are to be
the mothers in the family, and males are to be the fathers.
Each of the sexes have different roles and responsibilities
to morally live by.
Mothers who attempt to act as the father and head of the family
or fathers who behave as though they were the tender mothers
of their children will raise up maladjusted, confused children
who themselves are bewildered as to their own sexuality and
proper roles in the family.
The mother should early on emphasize to her children that
YÁOHU UL is the ultimate and truly loving Father they have,
and that parents are His agents in caring and providing for them,
and also in molding right character traits in them.
Because Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA learned early on to take YÁOHU ABí
as His real father, though His earthly father YÁOHU-saf died,
He always was fully confident that YÁOHU ABí would always
love, care and provide for Him.
'Children, obey your parents because you belong to YÁOHU UL,
for this is the right thing to do.
'Honor your father and mother.' This is the first of the Ten
Commandments that ends with a promise.
And this is the promise: If you honor your father and mother,
'you will live a long life, full of blessing.'
And now a word to you fathers. Don't exasperate your children
by the way you treat them.
Rather, bring them up with the discipline and teaching approved
by YÁOHU UL.' - Ephesians 6:1-4
'If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are
not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more
than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine.' - ManYÁOHU 10:37
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
If you see someone's ox or sheep wandering away, don't pretend
you didn't see it; take it back to its owner. If you don't know
who the owner is, take it to your farm and keep it there until
the owner comes looking for it, and then give it to him.
The same applies to donkeys, clothing, or anything else you find.
Keep it for its owner.
If you see someone trying to get an ox or donkey onto its feet
when it has slipped beneath its load, don't look the other way.
Go and help!
A woman must not wear men's clothing, and a man must not wear
women's clothing. This is abhorrent to YÁOHU your UL.
If a bird's nest is lying on the ground, or if you spy one in
a tree, and there are young ones or eggs in it with the mother
perched upon the nest, don't take the mother with the young.
Let her go, and take only the young. YÁOHU Ulhím will bless you
for it.
Every new house must have a guardrail around the edge of the
flat rooftop to prevent anyone from falling off and bring guilt
to both the house and its owner.
Do not sow other crops in the rows of your vineyard. If you do,
both the crops and the grapes shall be confiscated by the priests.
Don't plow with an ox and a donkey harnessed together.
Don't wear clothing woven from two kinds of thread: for example,
wool and linen.
You must sew tassels on the four corners of your cloaks.
If a man marries a girl, then after sleeping with her accuses
her of having had premarital intercourse with another man,
saying, 'She was not a virgin when I married her,' then the
girl's father and mother shall bring the proof of her virginity
to the city judges.
Her father shall tell them, 'I gave my daughter to this man
to be his wife, and now he despises her, and has accused her
of shameful things, claiming that she was not a virgin when
she married, yet here is the proof.'
And they shall spread before the judges the blood-smeared sheet
from her marriage bed. The judges shall consign the man to be
whipped, and fine him a hundred shekels of silver to be given
to the girl's father, for he has falsely accused a virgin of
Yaoshorúl (Israel). She shall remain his wife and he may never
divorce her.
But if the man's allegations are true, and she was not a virgin,
the judges shall take the girl to the door of her father's home
where the men of the city shall 'éban' (s-one) her to death.
She has defiled Yaoshorúl by flagrant crime, being a prostitute
while living at home with her parents; and such evil must be
cleansed from among you.
If a man is discovered committing adultery, both he and the other
man's wife must be killed; in this way evil will be cleansed from
Yaoshorúl.
If a girl who is engaged is seduced within the walls of a city,
both she and the man who seduced her shall be taken outside the
gates and 'éband' (s-oned) to death - the girl because she did
not scream for help, and the man because he has violated
the virginity of another man's flancée. In this way you will
reduce crime among you.
But if this deed takes place out in the country, only the man
shall die. The girl is as innocent as a murder victim; for it
must be assumed that she screamed, but there was no one to hear
and rescue her out in the field.
If a man rapes a girl who is not engaged, and is caught in the act,
he must pay a fine to the girl's father and marry her; he may never
divorce her. A man shall not sleep with his father's widow since
she belonged to his father.
If a man's testicles are crushed or his penis cut off, he shall not
enter the holy shrine.
A bastard may neither enter the holy shrine nor any of his offsprings
for ten generations.
No Ammonite or Moabite may ever enter the holy shrine, even after
the tenth generation. The reason for this law is that these
nations did not welcome you with food and water when you came out
of Egypt; they even tried to hire Balaam, the son of Beor from
Pethor, Mesopotamia, to curse you.
But YÁOHU Ulhím wouldn't hearken to Balaam; on the contrary,
He turned the intended curse into a blessing for you, because
YÁOHU Ulhím loves you.
You never must, as long as you live, try to help the Ammonites
or the Moabites in any way. But don't look down on the Edomites
and the Egyptians; the Edomites are your brothers and you lived
among the Egyptians.
The grandchildren of the Egyptians who came with you from Egypt
may enter the holy shrine of YÁOHU Ulhím.
When you are at war, the men in the camps must keep away from
all evil. Any man who becomes ceremonially defiled because
of a seminal emission during the night must leave the camp,
and remain outside until the evening; then he shall bathe himself
and return at sunset.
The toilet area shall be outside the camp. Each one must have
a spade as part of his equipment; after every bowel movement
he must dig a hole with the spade and cover the excrement.
The camp must be holy, for YÁOHU Ulhím walks among you to protect
you and to cause your enemies to fall before you; and YÁOHU Ulhím
does not want to see anything indecent lest He turn away from you.
Deuteronomy 22-23:14, Holy Scriptures
Orderliness which is the opposite of Confusion
Learning to delineate and differentiate the traits,
roles, responsibilities and behavior between the
male and female sexes and adhering to those which
are morally and scripturally fitting to mine.
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....FAITHFULNESS.' - Gal. 5:22
You will keenly observe, learn from and adopt those exemplary roles,
conduct, behavioral patterns and traits in the Holy Scriptures which
are suitable to your own gender and live by what YÁOHU Ulhím shows
you in His Word.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
The one who sins against his marriage bed
His fear is confined to human eyes
Before the universe was created, it was known to Him,
This man will be punished in the thoroughfares of the city,
So it is with a woman who leaves her husband
For first of all, she has disobeyed the law of the Most High;
She herself will be brought before the assembly,
Her children will not take root,
She will leave behind an accursed memory
Those who survive her will recognize
The rock festival revolutionaries invaded the heartland of Midwest
America, Labor Day weekend. Between 20,000 and 25,000 came to
a wheat field near Pittsburg, Kansas.
They came in a state of unconventional dress and birthday clothes
to attend what was billed as a rock musical festival but it turned
out to be a wild orgy of promiscuous sex and narcotics.
They were not a bunch of innocent youth, but rather the worst
elements of society.
Among them were hard-core revolutionaries. The American flag was
desecrated. They waded and wallowed in filth. The sale and use of
narcotics were wide open. It was the biggest pot party and sex orgy
the Midwest has ever seen.
Forty young people were arrested, being charged with carrying
concealed weapons, possessing drugs or liquor, and driving while
intoxicated.
There was display of nudity, and there were mixed nude swimming
parties in a nearby creek. With no sanitation facilities and
failure to comply with health regulations, one can imagine what
the place was like.
The former Kansas Governor Alf Landon said: 'They call these
activities festivals, but I have another name for them -
'feasts of hell.'
True or False
A divorced father should not expect his children to really
obey his counsel and advice.
YÁOHU Ulhím expects children to honor, respect and obey
their parents, both the father and the mother, whether
they are living happily married together or divorced.
YÁOHU Ulhím also expects children to revere and honor
their parents whether they are yet living or deceased.
A father who is divorced from the family should not
forcefully insist that he be given a hearing and be
fully obeyed, but by his exemplary scriptural behavior
and purity of life, he must learn to earn the respect,
obedience and adherence of his separated children to
his directives and admonitions, even when he lives
separately from them.
Meekness means one has surrendered all his rights and
expectations unto YÁOHU Ulhím, but not his responsibilities.
A dutiful and upright father would therefore continually
pray for his espouse and children, spiritually cover them
with his umbrella of protection and keep on patiently and
humbly feeding them the Word of YÁOHU Ulhím in ways that
are open and available to him.
YÁOHU Ulhím grants favors and help to the humble,
as He likewise resists the proud and arrogant.
Blessed be all who are meek for they shall be the inheritors!
Since the sins of the parents are carried on to their
children up to the third and fourth generations, you can
be sure that sons and daughters will also divorce their
marriage partners if their parents are divorced.
We have learned previously that what the parents allow or
permit in moderation, the children will likewise indulge in
and commit excessively.
Scriptures also assert that YÁOHU Ulhím punishes the children
of those who hate Him until the third and fourth generations.
But YÁOHU Ulhím likewise lavishes His love upon those who truly
love Him and obey His commands.
Though it is scripturally true that sins of forefathers
are inherited as well as imputed upon their offsprings
up to the third and fourth generations, a regenerated,
spiritually reborn child of YÁOHU Ulhím can easily break
this chain or yoke of slavery to sin by the power of the
'DAM' (blood) of our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.
When one receives and submits to Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA,
that person becomes redeemed from all the curses of the law,
and he or she becomes a co-heir with Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA,
totally freed from all inherited and imputed sins, curses
and their concomitant penalties.
All those who are still unregenerated spiritually are bearing
upon themselves the sins of their forefathers, in addition
to their own, and the curses and penalties that go along
with them.
A Yaohúshuahee (believer in the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA) does not
have to experience divorce and breakdown in his own marriage,
even though his parents may have been divorced.
On the contrary, he may confidently rely upon YÁOHU Ulhím
to keep his partner faithful and preserve his marriage,
while he acts as YÁOHU Ulhím's agent in rebuilding the
broken marriages of his parents and near of kin.
YAOHÚSHUA is the repairer of the breach.
For this purpose ha-BÓR (the Son of) YÁOHU Ulhím was revealed,
to expunge and ruin the works of the evil one.
Mehushúa continued speaking to the people of Yaoshorúl and said,
'Hearken carefully now to all these laws YÁOHU Ulhím has given you;
learn them, and be sure to obey them!
'YÁOHU our UL made a covenant with you at Mount Horeb - not with
your forefathers, but with you who are here alive today - He spoke
with you face to face from the midst of the fire, there at the
mountain.
I served as the intermediary between you and YÁOHU Ulhím,
for you were afraid of the fire and did not go up to Him
on the mountain.
He spoke to me and I relayed His laws on to you.
This is what He said:
[The Real, Complete Ten Commandments!]
'I am YÁOHU your UL Who rescued you from slavery in Egypt.
Never worship any idols but Me.
Never make idols; don't worship images, whether of birds, animals
or fish. You shall not bow down to any images nor worship them
in any way, for I am YÁOHU your UL.
I am a jealous YÁOHU Ulhím, and I will bring the curse of a father's
sins upon even the third and fourth generation of the children
of those who hate Me; but I will show lovingkindness to a thousand
generations of those who love Me and keep My commands.
Do not misuse the Shúam (Name) of YÁOHU your UL to make a vow
you don't intend to keep, for I will not hold anyone guiltless
who misuses My Shúam (Name).
Keep the Shábbos day holy. This is My command. Work the other
six days, but the seventh day is the Shábbos of YÁOHU your UL;
no work shall be done that day by you or by any of your household -
your sons, daughters, servants, oxen, donkeys or cattle; even
foreigners living among you must obey this law.
Everybody must rest as you do. Why should you keep the Shábbos?
It is because you were slaves in Egypt, and YÁOHU your UL brought
you out with a great display of miracles.
Honor your father and mother (remember, this is a commandment
of YÁOHU your UL); if you do so, you shall have a long, prosperous
life in the land He is giving you.
Do not murder.
Do not commit adultery.
Do not steal.
Do not tell lies.
Do not burn with lust for another man's wife, nor envy him for his
home, land, servants, oxen, donkeys, nor anything else he owns.'
Deuteronomy 5:1-21, Holy Scriptures
'If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are
not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more
than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine.' - ManYÁOHU 10:37
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
'But the truth of YÁOHU UL endures firm like a foundation 'éban' (s-one)
with this inscription: 'YÁOHU UL knows those who are His,' and
'Those who claim they belong to YÁOHU UL must keep away from all
kinds of wickedness.'
In a wealthy home some utensils are made of gold and silver,
and some are made of wood and clay.
The expensive utensils are used for special occasions, and the cheap
ones are for everyday use.
If you keep yourself pure, you will be a utensil YÁOHU UL can use
for His noble purpose. Your life will be clean, and you will be
ready for the Ruler to use you for every noble task.
Run from anything that stimulates youthful lust!
Adhere to anything that makes you want to do right.
Pursue faith, love and peace, and delight in the companionship
of those who call on YÁOHU UL with pure hearts.
Again I declare, don't get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments
that only ignites quarrels.
YÁOHU UL's servants never must quarrel but must be kind to everyone!
They must be able to teach effectively and be patient with difficult
people.
They should gently teach those who oppose the truth.
Perhaps YÁOHU UL will change those people's hearts, and they will
believe the truth.
Then they will come to their senses and escape from the trap
of ha-satán.
For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants.'
- 2 YÁOHU-tam (Timothy) 2:19-26
Patience which is the opposite of Intemperance
Realizing that patience actually refers to what
I actually do while waiting expectantly.
And my showing patience to difficult people
and in difficult predicaments is actually
a requisite if I were to really love people
as YÁOHU UL does.
Loving others means I must be PATIENT with them!
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is.... PATIENCE.' - Gal. 5:22
You will endeavor to earn the trust, confidence and hearing of your
subordinates by praying for them, always living a clean, pure life
and by being patient in dealing with them till they open their hearts
fully to the Word of YÁOHU Ulhím and eventually be saved by it.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
He who loves his son will discipline him often,
He who disciplines his son will benefit through him,
He who teaches his son will make his enemies envious,
When the parent dies he will not seem to be dead,
He has left behind him an avenger against his enemies,
Whoever spoils his son will bind up the wounds of his son,
An unbroken horse turns out stubborn,
Pamper a child, and he will terrorize you;
Do not laugh with him, or you will have sorrow with him,
Give him no unlimited freedom in his youth,
Bow down his neck in his youth,
Discipline your son and make his yoke heavy,
The police department of Dallas, Texas, issued a leaflet giving
rules for raising delinquent children:
Begin with infancy to give the child everything he wants.
In this way he will grow up to believe the world owes him
a living.
When he picks up bad words, laugh at him. This will make him
think he's really cute. It will also encourage him to pick up
'cuter' phrases that will blow off the top of your head later.
Never give him any spiritual training. Wait until he is 21
years of age and then let him 'decide for himself.'
Avoid use of the word 'wrong.' It may develop a guilt complex.
This will condition him to believe later, when he is arrested
for stealing a car, that society is against him and he is being
persecuted.
Pick up everything he leaves lying around - books, shoes and
clothes. Do everything for him so he will be experienced in
throwing all responsibility on others.
Let him read any printed matter he can get his hands on.
Be careful that the dinnerware and drinking glasses are
well sterilized, but let his mind feast upon garbage.
Quarrel frequently in the presence of your children.
In this way they will not be too shocked when the home
is broken up later.
Give a child all the spending money he wants. Never let him
earn his own. Why should he have things as tough as you
had them?
Always defend and side with him whenever he is in conflict
with his teachers, elder siblings, relatives and government
and police authorities.
And make sure to always take up offenses on his behalf,
so you will have your hands always full of his conflicts.
In the end, when you are in the hospital, funeral parlor,
jail or execution chamber to witness his sad predicament,
simply take a deep sigh and say: 'I have done everything
I could for this child. I really don't know where society
and the government went wrong.'
True or False
Children should be frankly told the causes of their parents'
arguments, conflicts and eventual divorce.
When the children are emotionally and mentally matured enough
to comprehend, it is all right to objectively, yet discreetly,
share with them the root causes and character defects of each
party which eventually led to the marriage breakdown.
The purpose is not to defend oneself nor accuse the other
but to teach them early on how to cope with the different
character deficiencies which they may have inherited in
their own personality makeups.
Examples of basic root causes are lust for sex, lust for money,
lust for pride, lust for power and control, selfishness, greed,
lack of self-control, laziness, drug and sex addictions, gambling,
insubordination, stubbornness and so on.
These root causes manifest themselves in many different ways
and so it would not be proper to share horrid details to the
children for the root causes may be rearing up their ugly
heads in varying ways and means in their own lives.
Children should be told and warned against such weaknesses
so they could avoid imitating past failures and mistakes.
Care should be taken never to slander the other partner
while relating past marriage difficulties. Slander means
telling the truth with the hidden motive of ruining another
person's name and reputation.
After all, if you truly love your children, you would love
their other parent, too.
The Holy Scriptures teach the importance of acknowledging
the sins of the parents, by confessing and renouncing them,
so the children could avoid its curses and penalties.
The child whose parents are divorced will continue to have
a damaged self-image throughout his or her life.
Ordinarily, yes, but either of the parents may wisely avoid
this from negatively affecting the children by teaching them
the scriptural principles of self-acceptance.
No child born on this earth is perfect nor has perfect family
background. Each child has his or her own defects, scars and
unchangeables in life.
No father or mother is perfect, neither can one find a perfect
son or daughter. And no marriage is perfect either.
A wise parent will teach his children the scriptural method
of turning one's own defects, scars and unpleasant family
background into motivations for self-improvement and character
development.
The child would be wise to use all the negative unchangeables
in his life as positive motivations and take them as challenges
for him to overcome in his own life, marriage and children.
Even our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY had the stigmas
of being 'born out of wedlock,' 'a glutton and a drinker,'
and 'carousing around with lowlifes.'
But through all this, He showed forth the fruit of the 'RÚKHA'
(Spirit), thereby fully developing all its facets in His life.
Likewise would a wise child do.
Since ha-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah) suffered and underwent pain,
you must have the same attitudes He had; you must be ready
to face up to difficulties, too.
For remember, when your body suffers, sin loses its power,
and you won't be spending the rest of your life rushing after
evil desires, but will always be eager to do the will of YÁOHU UL.
You have had enough in the past of the evil deeds the wicked enjoy
- sex, sin, lust, getting drunk, wild parties, drinking bouts and
the worship of idols, and other terrible sins.
Of course, your former friends will be very surprised when you don't
eagerly participate with them any more in the wicked activities
they do, and they will laugh at you in contempt and hatred.
But just remember that they must face the Judge of All, living and
dead; they will be punished for the way they have lived.
That is why the Glorious Message was proclaimed even to those
who were dead - killed by the flood - in order that although
their bodies were punished with death, they could still live
in their spirits as YÁOHU UL lives.
The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore be earnest,
thoughtful people of prayer.
Most important of all, continue to show deep love for one another,
for love makes up for many of your faults.
Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a safe
place to remain for the night.
YÁOHU UL has given each of you some special abilities; be sure
to use them to help each one, passing on to others YÁOHU UL's
many kinds of blessings.
Are you called to proclaim? Then proclaim as though YÁOHU UL
Himself were speaking through you. Are you called to help others?
Do it with all the power and energy that YÁOHU UL provides,
so YÁOHU UL will be glorified through YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY -
to Him be glory and power, forever and ever, am-nám.
Dear friends, don't be bewildered or surprised when you go through
the fiery trials ahead, for this is no bizarre, unusual thing that
is going to happen to you.
On the contrary, be really glad - because these will make you
partners with ha-MEHUSHKHÁY in His suffering, and afterwards
you will have the wonderful cheer of sharing His glory in that
coming Day when it will be displayed.
Be happy if you are cursed and insulted for being a Yaohúshuahée
(believer in the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA), for when that happens
the 'RÚKHA-YÁOHU' (Holy Spirit of YÁOHU UL) will come upon you
with great glory.
Don't let me hear of your suffering for murdering or stealing
or making trouble or being a busybody and prying into other
people's affairs.
But it is no shame to suffer for being a Yaohúshuahée!
Praise YÁOHU UL for the privilege of being in the family
of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah) and being called by His wonderful
Shúam (Name)!
For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin first
among YÁOHU UL's own children.
And if even we who are Yaohúshuahím (believers) must be judged,
what terrible fate awaits those who have never believed in
ha-Molkhiúl (the King)?
If the upright are reciprocated here, how much more the wicked?
So if you are experiencing difficulties for doing YÁOHU UL's will,
keep on doing what is right and trust yourself to YÁOHU UL Who
created you, for He will never fail you.
'If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are
not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more
than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine.' - ManYÁOHU 10:37
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
YAOHÚSHUA Gave Up His Life As One Sacrifice For All Time -
The old system of YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) laws gave only a dim
foretaste of the more excellent deeds that hol-MEHUSHKHÁY
(the Messiah) would do for us.
The sacrifices under the old system were repeated again and again,
year after year, but even so they could never save those who lived
under their rules.
If they could have, one offering would have been enough!
The worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and their
feeling of guilt (being punishable) would be gone.
But just the opposite happened; those yearly sacrifices reminded
them of their disobedience and guilt - never relieving their minds
in any way at all.
For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats really
to take away sins.
That is why ha-MEHUSHKHÁY said, as He came into the world:
You were not satisfied with the animal sacrifices, slain and
burnt before You as offerings for sin.
Then I said, 'See, I have come to do Your will, to lay down
My life, just as the Scriptures said that I would.''
After hol-MEHUSHKHÁY said this, about not being satisfied with
the various sacrifices and offerings required under the old system,
He then added, 'Here I am. I have come to give My life.'
He cancels the first system in favor of a far excellent one.
Under this new plan we have been forgiven and made clean by
the dying of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY for our benefit - once and for all!
Under the old covenant the priests arose before the altar day
after day offering sacrifices that could never take away our sins.
But ha-MEHUSHKHÁY gave Himself to YÁOHU UL for our sins as one
sacrifice for all time, and then down He sat upon the place of
highest honor at YÁOHU UL's right hand, waiting for His enemies
to be laid under His feet.
For by that one offering He made forever perfect in the sight
of YÁOHU UL all those whom He is making holy.
And the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Holy Spirit of YAOHÚSHUA) testifies
that this is so, for He has said:
'This is the Covenant I will make with the people of Yaoshorúl
(Israel), though they broke their first Covenant:
And then He adds, 'I will never again remember their sins and
lawless deeds.'
Now, when sins have once been forever forgiven and discarded,
there is no need to offer more sacrifices to get rid of them!
And so, my dear brethren, now we may walk right into the very
Holy of Holies where YÁOHU UL is, because of the 'DAM' (blood)
of YAOHÚSHUA.
This is the fresh, new, life-giving way which hol-MEHUSHKHÁY
has opened up for us by tearing the curtain - His Human Body -
to let us into the holy presence of YÁOHU UL.
And since this great High Priest of ours rules over YÁOHU UL's
household, let us go right in, to YÁOHU UL Himself, with true
hearts fully depending upon Him to receive us, because we have
been sprinkled with the 'DAM' (blood) of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY to make
us clean, and because our bodies have been washed with pure water.
Now we can look forward to the salvation YÁOHU UL has promised us.
There is no longer any room for doubt, and we can tell others that
salvation is ours, for there is no doubt that He will do whatever
He says.
In response to all that He has carried out for our benefit,
let us outdo each other in being helpful and kind to one another
and in doing what is right.
Let us not neglect our Oholyáo (Congregation) meetings, as some
people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that
the day of His coming back again is quickly approaching.
If anyone sins deliberately by rejecting the Savior after knowing
the truth of forgiveness, this sin is not covered by the death of
ha-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah); there is no way to get rid of it.
There will be nothing to look forward to but the terrible punishment
of YÁOHU UL's awful anger which will consume all His enemies.
A man who refused to obey the laws given by Mehushúa (Moses)
was killed without mercy if there were two or three witnesses
to his wickedness.
Think how much more terrible the punishment will be for those
who have trampled underfoot 'ha-BÓR' (the Son of) YÁOHU UL and
treated His cleansing 'DAM' (blood) as though it were common
and unsacred, and defiantly outraged the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA'
(Holy Spirit of YAOHÚSHUA) Who brings YÁOHU UL's mercy to His
people.
For we know Him Who said, 'Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay';
Who also said, 'YÁOHU UL Himself will handle these cases.' It is
a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living YÁOHU UL.
Don't ever forget those wonderful days when you first learned about
ha-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah). Remember how you kept right on with
our Molkhiúl (King) even though it meant terrible difficulties.
Sometimes you were laughed at and beaten, and sometimes you watched
and sympathized with others suffering the same things.
You suffered with those who were thrown into jail, and you were
actually gladdened when all you owned was taken from you, knowing
that better things were awaiting you in heaven, things that would
be yours forever.
Do not let this happy trust you have in ha-Molkhiúl die away,
no matter what happens.
Remember your reward!
You need to keep on patiently doing YÁOHU UL's will if you want Him
to do for you all that He has promised.
His coming will not be delayed much longer.
And those whose faith has made them upright in YÁOHU UL's sight
must live by faith, fully relying upon Him in everything.
Otherwise, if they shrink back, YÁOHU UL will have no pleasure
in them.
But we have never turned our backs on YÁOHU UL and sealed our doom.
No, our faith in Him assures the salvation of our souls!
Humility which is the opposite of Pride
Gratefully accepting all that YÁOHU Ulhím
has allowed and given me in my life, my person,
my family and overall personality, and using
all these factors in my life to develop exemplary
character traits of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA in me.
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....FAITHFULNESS.' - Gal. 5:22
You will seek, pray and fast for YÁOHU Ulhím to lead, teach and
guide you into changing all the negative factors in your life into
positive motivations toward achieving YÁOHU Ulhím's purposes in your
bearing fruit and acquiring the attitudes and character of Molkhiúl
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Do not say, 'It was YÁOHU Ulhím's initiative that I fell away';
Do not say, 'It was He Who led me into error';
YÁOHU Ulhím hates all abominations;
It was He who created humankind in the beginning,
If you prefer, you can keep the commands,
He has placed before you fire and water;
Before each person are life and death,
For great is the wisdom of YÁOHU Ulhím;
His eyes are on those who fear Him,
He has not commanded anyone to be wicked,
Do not desire many worthless children,
If they multiply, do not be glad in them,
Do not expect them to have long lives,
For through one intelligent person a city can be filled with people, I sent my little son, James, to your shop
for five pounds of apples, and I discover
upon weighing them that you sent me only
four-and-a-half pounds. Why so? Madam, my scales are regularly inspected and are correct.
Have you tried weighing your little boy?
True or False
With the limited time available, a parent should find out
what his children delight in doing and do it with them.
Parents are designated by YÁOHU Ulhím to teach, train and
discipline their children in right living, and not to become
their mere entertainers.
With limited time, the primary goal of the parents should be
to gladly share the principles of YÁOHU Ulhím's Word to their
children and more importantly, to train them in right conduct,
proper behavior and correct attitudes.
Teaching is not enough. Parents are likewise expected
to TRAIN their children in walking by YÁOHU Ulhím's Word.
And the best teaching method that parents could adopt
is by being live examples of YÁOHU Ulhím's scriptural
principles, showing the children daily what it really
means to practically live by His Word.
Happily sharing with your children the delights of learning
and living by YÁOHU Ulhím's Word daily is wholesome and is
pleasing in YÁOHU Ulhím's sight.
And this is the will of YÁOHU Ulhím, that parents as well
as the children be taught, sanctified and purified by His
Word, that they may succeed, prosper and excel in everything.
Parents were called to provide for, teach, guide and train
their children, and not merely to entertain them.
You are a parent, not a glorified child entertainer!
Until one party remarries, the children should be given hope
that the parents can get back together again.
The right focus for the children to have in cases like this
is upon YÁOHU Ulhím's wider purposes and scope, whether the
marriage continues or fails.
Children should not be made to expect the partners to reconcile
because if it is delayed or does not occur, it may cause them
to become bitter against their parents and against YÁOHU Ulhím
Himself, to their own detriment.
The best is for the children to focus on what character traits
YÁOHU Ulhím is developing in each of them through the trying
predicaments and events in their family life, and what is the
proper positive reaction a child should have in the midst
of such occurrences.
This way, the children will be grateful to YÁOHU Ulhím no matter
what happens because they will learn and appreciate the scriptural
truth that 'all events are working together for the benefit of
those who love YÁOHU Ulhím and are called according to His wider
purposes in life.'
The children should pray for then commit to YÁOHU Ulhím
the marriage of their parents and then fix their focus on
the character-development aspects of their daily experiences.
Important character qualities can be learned during turbulences
in marriage and family lives, if only one would fix his focus
on the wider purposes and objectives of YÁOHU Ulhím.
Fixing our eyes upon Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA, the Author and Finisher
of our faith.
Unpleasant childhood experiences or embarrassing family
backgrounds may be the reasons why some children grow up
with some personality maladjustments, but that should NEVER
be made the excuses for them to continue behaving badly.
You never must excuse sin that way.
Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA gives life and life to the full...
They are grown-ups now and should take charge of their lives
and begin living rightly, obeying His Word.
'REASONS' should never be made the 'EXCUSES' to continue
living in wickedness and becoming a failure in life.
You have the mind of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA now!
You can do all through Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA Who empowers you, now!
Think on these subjects and you will know that I am right....
My son, never forget the things I've taught you. If you want
a long and satisfying life, closely follow my teachings.
Never tire of loyalty and kindness. Hold these exemplary traits
tightly. Write them deep within your heart.
If you want favor with YÁOHU UL and people, and a reputation for
having sound judgment and common sense, then trust YÁOHU UL
completely; don't ever trust even yourself.
In everything you do, put YÁOHU UL first, for He will direct you
and crown your efforts with success.
Don't be conceited, sure of your own wisdom. On the contrary,
trust fully and reverentially fear YÁOHU UL, and turn your back
on evil; when you do that, then you will be given renewed health
and vitality.
Honor YÁOHU UL by giving Him the first part of all your income,
and He will fill your barns with wheat and barley and overflow
your wine vats with the finest wines.
Young man, do not resent it when YÁOHU UL disciplines and corrects
you, for His punishment is proof of His love. Just like a father
punishes a son he delights in to make him better, so YÁOHU UL also
corrects you.
The person who knows right from wrong and has sound judgment and
common sense is happier than one who is immensely rich!
For such wisdom is far more valuable than expensive jewels.
Nothing else compares with it. Wisdom gives:
Wisdom is a tree of life to those who eat her fruit; happy is
the man who continually eat from it.
YÁOHU UL's wisdom founded the earth; His knowledge established
all the universe and space. The deep fountains of the earth
were broken open by His knowledge, and the skies poured down rain.
Have two goals: wisdom - that is, knowing and doing right
- and common sense. Don't let them slip away, for they fill you
with living energy, and bring you honor and respect.
They keep you safe from defeat and ruin and from stumbling off
the trail. With them on guard, you can sleep without fear;
you need not be afraid of ruin or the plots of wicked men,
for YÁOHU UL is with you; He protects you!
Don't withhold repayment of your debts.
Don't say 'some other time,' if you can pay now. Don't plot against
your neighbor, for he trusts you.
Don't get into needless fights. Don't envy violent men. Don't copy
their ways. For such guys are an abomination to YÁOHU UL, but He
gives His friendship to the upright.
The curse of YÁOHU UL is on the wicked, but His blessing is on
the upright. YÁOHU UL mocks at mockers, but helps the humble.
The wise are promoted to honor, but fools are promoted to shame!
Maush'léi (Proverbs) 3, Holy Scriptures
'If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are
not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more
than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine.' - ManYÁOHU 10:37
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
To learn, you must want to be taught.
To refuse reproof is stupid.
YÁOHU UL blesses upright people and condemns the wicked.
Wickedness never brings real success; only the upright have that.
A worthy wife is her husband's happiness and crown;
the other kind corrodes his energy and ruins everything he does.
An upright person's mind is filled with honest thoughts;
an evil man's mind is crammed with lies.
The wicked accuse; the upright defend.
The wicked shall perish; the upright shall remain.
Everyone admires a person with a fine sense,
but a person with a warped mind is despised.
It is better to get your hands dirty - and eat,
than to be too proud to work - and die of hunger.
An upright person is concerned for the welfare of his animals,
but even the kindness of wicked people is cruel.
Hard work means prosperity; only a fool idles away his time.
Crooks are jealous of each other's loot, while upright people
long to help each other.
Lies will get any guy into trouble, but honesty is its own defense.
Telling the truth gives a person great satisfaction,
and hard work returns many blessings to him.
A fool thinks he needs no advice, but a wise person hearkens
to others.
A fool is quick-tempered; a wise person remains unaffected
even when insulted.
An upright person is recognized by his truthfulness;
a false individual by deception and lies.
Some people like to make cutting remarks,
but the words of the wise reinvigorate and heal.
Truth endures the test of time; lies are soon exposed.
Deceit fills hearts that are plotting for evil;
happiness fills hearts that are planning for what is right!
No real harm befalls the upright, but there is continual
trouble for the wicked.
YÁOHU UL delights in those who keep their promises,
and abhors those who don't.
A wise person doesn't display his knowledge,
but a fool displays his stupidity.
Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and never succeed.
Hearts filled with anxieties are very heavy
but a word of encouragement does wonders!
The upright person asks advice from friends;
the wicked plunge ahead - and fall.
A lazy individual won't even dress the game he gets while hunting,
but the diligent man makes beneficial use of everything he finds.
The path of the upright leads to life. So why fear death?
Maush'léi (Proverbs) 12, Holy Scriptures
Responsibility which is the opposite of Irresponsibility
Subjecting my own mind, soul and body under the
rightful control, influence and power of the
indwelling 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' knowing that I will
be held fully accountable and answerable for all
that I think, say and do.
I will refuse to make the unpleasant unchangeables
in my life to become my excuses for failure, poverty
and mediocrity.
With YAOHÚSHUA, I always win, prosper and succeed!
'For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA' is....UPRIGHTNESS.' - Gal. 5:22
You will prayerfully seek YÁOHU Ulhím's guidance and deliverance
in pointing out to you in what aspects of your life you need to
improve and excel in, and allowing Him to free you from all kinds
of bondage, enslavement and blaming others and the past for your
own neglect in taking full charge of your adult life now.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
The rich, and the eminent, and the poor -
It is not right to despise one who is intelligent but poor,
The prince and the judge and the ruler are honored,
Free citizens will serve a wise servant,
Do not make a display of your wisdom when you do your work,
Better is the worker who has assets in plenty
My child, honor yourself with humility,
Who will acquit those who condemn themselves?
The poor are honored for their knowledge,
One who is honored in poverty, how much more in wealth!
And one dishonored in wealth, how much more in poverty!
By the time the average child is 15 years old he will have witnessed
the violent deaths of more than 13,000 human beings on television.
It has been thought that they don't watch violent and sexually
immoral TV programs aired after 9 o'clock at night.
But psychologists have done studies on how late children watch TV.
They have found that after 10:30 P.M. there are some five million
children under the age of 12 still watching television.
It is of no wonder therefore why violence is breaking out like crazy
in public schools these days!
True or False
Children should try to avoid the pointed queries of others
about their parents' divorce.
Children should be taught and trained to answer such pointed
queries gently, humbly and respectfully.
These are not embarrassing times for the children if they
know how to turn these queries into initial talking points
to introduce the original Messiah YAOHÚSHUA and His Glorious
Message to others.
They may generally mention that yes, a divorce has occurred
between their parents but YÁOHU UL has allowed this to mold
exemplary character traits in each one involved.
Care should be taken that no blame should be insinuated
against the parents and the children must emphasize to
others that YÁOHU Ulhím is their real protective Father,
and therefore there is no trace of bitterness in their
hearts whatsoever.
The love of YÁOHU UL in the hearts of the children surpasses
all the unpleasant consequences of divorce, and everyone is
busy now trying to mend and repair whatever the enemy has
ruined.
'My parents may have divorced but I am now in the process
of helping my parents rebuild their marriage! I believe
soon they will be reunited by YÁOHU Ulhím's power and favor.'
By making these direct yet scriptural replies, the child
will then fulfill his role of being the 'salt' of the earth
by stimulating the thirst of others for more of YÁOHU Ulhím's
principles, His uprightness and truths.
A father ceases to be an umbrella of protection after
he abandons his wife and children.
In cases where the father becomes voluntarily or involuntarily
separated from his wife and children, and where he ceases
to have direct legal custody of the children, yet, scripturally
speaking, he still has and should render spiritual covering
and protection over them.
The father must continue praying fervently for his wife and
children, and keep on reminding them of YÁOHU Ulhím's Word
whenever he has the opportunity to do so. This may be done
directly or through correspondence or whatever legal means
may be possible in each case.
Regular prayers with fasts, as well as praying for
'hedges of thorns' around his partner and each of his
children would be very beneficial and helpful.
Though the parents and children may be physically away
from the father, this however does not diminish his
scriptural responsibilities in the eyes of YÁOHU Ulhím.
In case the wife remarries (in contravention of explicit
scriptural commands), in no way does the second man become
the 'father' of the children.
A wise father would continue providing spiritual protection
and holy counsel to his children though they may be in their
mother's custody.
The enduring faithfulness of the father in such cases would
cushion the emotional upheavals experienced by the children
in such trying periods, especially when the mother changes
her 'husband' every other year or so.
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but harsh words cause quarrels.
A wise mentor makes learning a delight; a rebellious teacher
spouts stupidity.
YÁOHU UL is observing everywhere and keeps His eye on both
the evil and the upright.
Gentle words cause life and health; griping brings discouragement.
Only a fool despises his father's advice; a wise son ponders
upon every admonition.
There is treasure in being upright, but trouble dogs the wicked.
Only the upright can give sound advice. Rebels can't.
YÁOHU UL hates the gifts of the wicked, but delights in the prayers
of His people.
YÁOHU UL despises the deeds of the wicked, but loves those who try
to be upright. If they stop trying, YÁOHU UL will punish them;
if they rebel against that punishment, they will die.
The depths of hell are open to YÁOHU UL's knowledge.
How much more the hearts of all mankind!
A mocker keeps away from wise men because he hates to be scolded.
A happy face means a glad heart; a sad face means a breaking heart.
A wise person is hungry for truth, while the mocker feeds on trash.
When a person is gloomy, everything seems to go wrong;
when he is cheerful, everything seems right.
Better a little with reverence for YÁOHU UL, than great treasure
and trouble with it.
It is better to eat soup with someone you love
than steak with someone you hate.
A quick-tempered person begins fights; an even-tempered person
tries to stop them.
A lazy fellow experiences trouble all through life;
the upright person's path is easy!
A sensible son brings happiness to his father.
A rebellious son brings sorrow to his mother.
If a person delights in foolishness, something is wrong!
The sensible remain on the pathways of what is right.
Plans go wrong with too few advisers; many advisers bring success.
Everyone delights in giving correct advice, and how wonderful
it is to be able to say the right thing at the right time!
The road of the upright leads upward, leaving hell behind.
YÁOHU UL ruins the property of the proud but cares for widows.
YÁOHU UL hates the thoughts of the wicked but delights in kind words.
Dishonest money brings grief to all the family, but hating bribes
brings happiness.
An upright person thinks before he speaks; the evil person pours
out his evil words without even a thought.
YÁOHU UL is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayers
of the upright.
Pleasant sights as well as fine reports give happiness and health.
If you profit from positive criticism you will be elected
to the wise men's hall of fame. But to reject criticism
is to harm yourself and your own beneficial interests.
Humility and reverence for YÁOHU UL will make you both wise
and honored.

a furnace. The arrogant and the wicked will be burned up like
hay on that day. They will be consumed like a tree - roots and all.
But for you who reverentially fear My Shúam (Name), the Sun
of Uprightness will rise with healing in His wings. And you will
go free, leaping with gladness like calves let out to graze.
On the day when I act, you will tread upon the wicked as if
they were dust beneath your feet,' says the YÁOHU UL Tzavulyáo.
'Remember to obey the directives of My servant Mehushúa,
all the laws and regulations that I gave Him on Mount Sinai
for all Yaoshorúl.
Look, I am dispatching to you the prophet Uli-YÁOHU before

His proclamations will turn the hearts of parents to their
children, and the hearts of children to their parents.
Otherwise I will come and afflict the land with a curse.'

Endurance which is the opposite of Giving Up

You will renew and rekindle your care, overseeing and protection

physically as well as spiritually with His Word.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
A friend is not known in prosperity,
One's enemies are friendly when one prospers,
Never trust your enemy,
Even if he humbles himself and walks bowed down,
Be to him like one who polishes a mirror,
Do not put him next to you,
Do not let him sit by your right hand,
Who pities a snake charmer when he is bitten,
So no one pities a person who associates with a sinner
He remains by you for a while,
An enemy speaks sweetly with his lips,
An enemy may have tears in his eyes,
If evil comes upon you, you will find him there ahead of you;
Then he will shake his head, and clap his hands,
A boy living in New Jersey waits expectantly every year

his birthday.
When his father was dying of a terminal disease, he knew
his young lad would not have the benefit of his personal
guidance and help as he grew into manhood.
So he wrote him a letter for each year, and left directives
for them to be sent so they would arrive annually on the
proper date.
A final envelope containing words of fatherly direction
and loving advice will also be given to the son on his
wedding day.
True or False
After divorce and separation, it is right to try to get
in touch with your separated children so you can spy on
what your partner is currently doing.
The main reason why a parent would want to get in touch
with the children is that he may fulfill his obligations
to YÁOHU Ulhím in guiding, teaching and training them
in character formation and development by His Word.
YÁOHU Ulhím will not honor the selfless efforts of
a parent whose heart motives are wrong, and reaching
out to one's children simply for the purpose of spying
on the current activities of the divorced partner is
one of the wrong motives which should be corrected.
As we have learned before, to love someone is to be
patient with them, and to be patient means to continue
loving them in spite of everything.
The separated parent and children must continually sense
the enduring love of the other absentee parent which
usually convicts the heart of the unfaithful back into
full reconciliation.
One will get better results when he or she prays and fasts
for them rather than to spy on them.
During separation, each of the marriage partner is very
sensitive to the what the other partner says and does,
and to find out that one is being spied upon by the other
is repulsive and rude.
Love is never rude.
It is wrong to obligate your children to take care of you
when you get older.
Although it is well pleasing in the eyes of YÁOHU Ulhím
for children to take care of their parents in their old
and golden years, yet the better way is for the parents
to teach, guide and train their children to fulfill their
YÁOHU UL-given responsibilities to each and every member
of the family and other close relatives.
While it is a scriptural mandate for parents to support,
nourish and provide for their children till their full
maturity, yet it is also a scriptural responsibility
of children to take loving care and support their parents
in their old age or disability.
Those who despise their parents are cursed, while those
who honor and respect their parents will experience long,
blessed days.
A separated parent should not try to reconcile with his
or her children simply to obligate them for support in one's
old age. That is a wrong motive and an unfair one.
What you actually invest, sow into the lives of your marriage
partner and children is what you will reap later on.
Therefore it is best for the parents to invest as much
as they could toward the betterment and improvement in
the character, attitudes and behavior of their children,
as prescribed by YÁOHU Ulhím's written Word.
But never make your family your idol in the process, though.
Always walk in the middle, narrow and difficult way,
the YAOHÚSHUA way, for truth over-applied is heresy,
and truth under-applied is also heresy.
The narrow, difficult and middle way is the best way,
the scriptural YAOHÚSHUA way....
'Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need.
But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn
first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for
their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents,
for this is pleasing to YÁOHU Ulhím.
The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope
in YÁOHU Ulhím and continues night and day to pray and to ask
YÁOHU Ulhím for help.
But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.
Give the people these directives, too, in order that no one
may be open to blame.

for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse
compared to an unbeliever.' - 1 YÁOHU-tam (Timothy) 5:3-8

Yes, I give tithes, and I'd like to tell you how it all came about.
I had to begin work as a small boy to help support my mother.
My first wages amounted to $1.50 per week. The first week after
I went to work, I took the $1.50 home to my mother and she held
the money in her lap and explained to me that she would be happy
if I would give a tenth of it to the work of the Savior.
I did, and from that week until this day I have tithed every dollar
that has been entrusted to me. And I want to say, if I had not
tithed the first dollar I made I would not have tithed the first
million dollars I made.
Tell your readers to train the children to tithe, and they will
grow up to be faithful trustees of our Great Provider.
True or False
You should try your best to explain to your children
your 'justified' side of what really happened which led
to the marriage breakdown.
Whenever there is a marriage breakdown, each bears some
responsibility, one way or another, on its bitter outcome.
The 'innocent party' somehow has failed in some vital
areas too, like failures in putting YÁOHU UL first place
in the family life, in regular fervent prayer with fasts
for the partner and children, in feeding oneself the Word
and sharing it with the rest, also in implementing loving
discipline and the like.
The parent may explain to the children what specific areas
of individual weaknesses and character deficiencies caused
the breakdown, not to put the blame on the other partner,
but to give the children important warnings to heed in their
own lives, so they can fortify those weak areas in themselves.
Those parents who humble themselves will be lifted up,
and if one confesses and renounces his or her sins,
pardon, forgiveness and cleansing come next.
One must confess his or her sins, and not the sins
of others.
Again, in confessing, explicit details should be avoided,
but only general areas of weaknesses and personality defects
may be mentioned, in order to put the life lesson in the right
perspective and lead to beneficial results.
It is only right to shield your children from the wicked
influences of your separated marriage partner.
Admittedly, there are wicked activities which any sensible
parent would not want his or her child to be exposed to
like drug addiction, sexual immoralities, criminality,
incurable and communicable diseases and all kinds of abuse.
Every parent wants to give his or her children the best kind
of nurturing and rearing one could, in preparation for a bright
and promising future.
To shield a child from negative influences in life does not
necessarily involve the ruin of the other parent's reputation.
Any factor which could negatively affect the child's normal
character and personality development should be avoided while
those factors which enhance the exemplary character traits
and abilities of the child should be highly encouraged and
maximized.
'Now the sons of Uli were evil men who didn't love YÁOHU UL.
It was their regular practice to send out a servant whenever anyone
was offering a sacrifice, and while the flesh of the sacrificed
animal was boiling, the servant would put a three-pronged flesh hook
into the pot and demand that whatever it brought up be given to Uli's
sons. They treated all of the Yaoshorulítes in this way when they
came to Shiloh to worship.'
Sometimes the servant would come even before the rite of burning
the fat on the altar had been performed, and he would demand raw
meat before it was boiled, so it could be used to roast.
If the man offering the sacrifice replied, 'Take as much as you want,
but the fat must first be burned,' as the law requires, the servant
would then say, 'No, give it to me now or I'll take it by force.'
So the sin of these young men was very great in the eyes of YÁOHU UL;
for they treated the people's offerings to YÁOHU UL with contempt....'
Uli was now very old, but he was aware of what was going on around
him. He knew, for example, that his sons were seducing the young
women who helped at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
'I have been hearing terrible reports from YÁOHU UL's people about
what you are doing,' Uli told his sons. 'It is an awful thing
to make YÁOHU UL's people sin.
Ordinary sin receives heavy punishment, but how much more this sin
of yours which has been committed against YÁOHU UL?' But they
wouldn't hearken to their father, for YÁOHU UL was already planning
their deaths.'
One day a prophet came to Uli and gave him this message from YÁOHU UL:
'Didn't I reveal My power when the people of Yaoshorúl were slaves
in Egypt? Didn't I appoint your forefather Levi from among all his
brothers to be My priest, and to sacrifice upon My altar, and to burn
incense, and to wear a priestly robe as he served Me?
And didn't I assign the sacrificial offerings to you priests?
Then why are you so greedy for all the other offerings which
are brought to Me? Why have you honored your sons more than Me -
for you and they have become fat from the best of the offerings
of My people!''
Therefore, I, YÁOHU UL Yaoshorúl, declare that although I promised
that your branch of the tribe of Levi would always be My priests,
it is ridiculous to think that what you are doing can continue.
I will honor only those who honor Me, and I will despise those
who despise Me. I will put an end to your family, so it will
no longer serve as priests. Every member will die before his time.
None shall live to be old.
You will envy the prosperity I will give My people, but you and your
family will be in turmoil and need. Not one of them will live out
his days. Those who are left alive will live in sorrow and grief;
and their children shall die by the sword.
And to prove that what I have said will come true, I will cause your
two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, to die on the same day!
Then I will raise up a faithful priest who will serve Me and do
whatever I tell him to do. I will bless his offsprings, and his
family shall be priests to My kings forever. Then all of your
offsprings shall bow before him, begging for money and food.
'Please,' they will say, 'give me a job among the priests so I will
have enough to eat.'
Then YÁOHU UL said to Samu-Ul, 'I am going to do a shocking thing
in Yaoshorúl. I am going to do all of the dreadful things I warned
Uli about. I have continually threatened him and his whole family
with punishment because his sons are blaspheming YÁOHU UL, and
HE DOESN'T STOP THEM. So I have vowed that the sins of Uli and
of his sons shall never be forgiven by sacrifices and offerings.''

YÁOHU UL hates cheating and delights in honesty.
Proud people end in shame, but the meek become wise.
An upright person is guided by his honesty;
the evil person is ruined by his dishonesty.
Your riches won't help you on Judgment Day;
only uprightness will matter at that time.
Upright people are directed by their honesty;
the wicked shall fall beneath their load of sins.
The upright person's uprightness delivers him;
the evil person's treachery is his ruin.
When an evil person dies, his hopes all perish,
for they are based upon this earthly life.
YÁOHU UL rescues upright people from danger while letting
the wicked fall into it.
Evil words ruin. Skills from YÁOHU UL rebuilds.
The whole city celebrates an upright person's success -
and also the wicked person's death.
The noble influence of upright citizens causes a city to prosper,
but the moral decay of the wicked drives it to rottenness.
To quarrel with a neighbor is stupid; a person with fine sense
holds his very tongue.
A gossip goes around spreading rumors, while a dependable person
tries to quiet them.
Without wise leadership, a nation is in trouble; but with wise
advisers there is safety.
Be sure you know a person well before you vouch for his credit!
Better refuse than suffer later.
Honor goes to kind and benevolent women, mere money to cruel men.
Your own soul is nourished when you are kind; it is ruined
when you are cruel.
The evil person gets rich for the moment, but the upright person's
reward lasts forever.
The upright person finds life; the evil person, death.
YÁOHU UL hates the stubborn but delights in those who are upright.
You can be very sure the evil person will not go unpunished forever.
And you can also be very sure YÁOHU UL will rescue the children
of the upright.
A beautiful woman lacking discretion and modesty is like a fine
gold ring in a pig's snout.
The upright person can look forward to happiness, while the wicked
can expect only wrath.
It is possible to give away and become richer! It is also possible
to hold on too tightly and lose everything. Yes, the generous person
shall become rich! By watering others, he waters himself.
People curse the guy who hoards his grain for higher prices,
but they bless the one who sells it to them in their time of need.
If you search for virtue you will find YÁOHU UL's favor,
if you search for evil you will find His curse.
Trust upon your money and down you go! Trust upon YÁOHU UL
and flourish like a tree!
The fool who provokes his family to anger and resentment
will finally have nothing worthwhile left. He shall be the
servant of a wiser person.
Upright people are growing a tree that bears life-giving fruit,
and all who win souls are wise!
Even the upright shall be rewarded here on earth;
how much more the wicked.

comprehend and can't accept these thoughts from YÁOHU UL,
which the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' teaches us. They sound foolish

within them can know what the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' means.
Others just can't take it in.' - 1 Corinthians 2:14
'You will never be able to eat solid spiritual food and

Whoever is intelligent, let him hearken. For the paths
of YÁOHU UL are true and right, and upright people walk
along them. But sinners trying it will fail.' - Hoshúa 14:9
You will examine your own weaknesses, frailties and defects
and find out in YÁOHU UL's Word the remedial application

For not everything is beneficial for everyone,
Do not be greedy for every delicacy,
For overeating brings sickness,
Many have died of gluttony,
Oh, heavenly YÁOHU ABí, make me a better parent. Please teach me
to comprehend my children, to hearken patiently to what they have
to say, and to answer all their queries kindly.
Please keep me from interrupting them or contradicting them.
Please make me as polite to them as I would have them be to me.
Forbid that I should ever laugh at their mistakes, or resort
to shame or ridicule when they displease me.
May I never punish them for my own selfish satisfaction or to show
them my power.
Let me not tempt my child to lie or steal. And guide me hour by hour
that I may show by all I say and do that honesty produces happiness.
Reduce, I pray, the meanness in me. And when I am out of sorts,
please help me, O YÁOHU UL, to hold my tongue.
May I ever be mindful that my children are children and I should not
expect of them the judgment of adults.
Let me not rob them of the opportunity to wait on themselves and
to make decisions.
Bless me with the bigness to grant them all their reasonable requests,
and the courage to deny them privileges I know will do them harm.
Make me fair and just gam kind. And fit me, O YÁOHU UL, to be loved
and respected and imitated by my children. Amnáo.'
True or False
It is the principal responsibility of the Oholyáo (Congregation)
teachers to teach your children and grandchildren the Word
and commands of YÁOHU Ulhím.
The duly designated teachers in the Oholyáo have the responsibility
to teach right scriptural doctrines and sound moral principles
to the congregants who in turn are given the tasks to teach their
respective subordinates.
Men teachers should teach other men who are to teach their women
at home, while more mature women are to teach younger women,
principally in the family home and in the congregation as well.
Women are not allowed to teach in the congregation meetings but
they can and must teach younger women how to become exemplary
handmaidens of YÁOHU Ulhím, as well as responsible parents and
family members.
But the male parent is mainly responsible to YÁOHU Ulhím in regard
to teaching each member of his family including grandchildren.
He is expected to teach and implement in his household what
has been proclaimed, taught and adopted in the Oholyáo meetings,
as applicable to all members of the congregation.
In other words, in the family home, it is the male parent who is
principally responsible to teach his wife and children as well as
grandchildren the Word, under the guidance and teaching service
of the Oholyáo (Congregation).
It is stupid for the children to take up offenses on either
side of their parents during marriage conflicts.
Taking up offenses is not only wrong but is also unfair
to those really concerned.
To take up offense means to bear a grudge against someone
or feel offended on something which does not concern you
at all and which was not directly done to you.
In other words, to take up an offense means to play the
imaginary victim of an offense even when you're not one.
If your male parent did something wrong against his wife,
your mother, then the only person who has the right to
feel victimized and has the sole capacity to forgive
is her, and not you nor anyone else not directly involved
in the offense.
Taking up offenses only exacerbates family conflicts and
feuds and leads only to aggravation of the predicament.
Why is it wrong to take up offenses in matters which
do not directly involve you?
Because only victims have the right to forgive and
from them only must the offender seek forgiveness.
Those who take up offenses based solely on evil reports
and hearsay usually end up the silliest especially when
the contending parties patch up and reconcile.
Never receive much less spread evil reports, so you won't
be infected by their venoms.
And never take up offenses, for that is worse stupidity.
Why dwell on evil reports and taking up offenses when
you can spend time on the Word and prayer with fasts?
Think this over and you will see that I am right....
Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him respectfully
as though he were your own parent. Talk to the younger men as you
would to your own brothers.
Treat the older women as you would your mother, and treat the younger
women with all purity as your own female siblings.
The Oholyáo should care for any widow who has no one else to care
for her.
But if she has children or grandchildren, their first responsibility
is to show piety at home and repay their parents by taking care
of them. This is something that pleases YÁOHU UL very much.
But a woman who is a genuine widow, one who is really alone
in this world, has put her hope in YÁOHU UL. Night and day
she asks YÁOHU UL for help and spends much time in prayer.
But the widow who lives only for pleasure is spiritually dead.
Give these directives to the Oholyáo in order that the widows
you support will not be criticized.
But those who won't care for their own relatives, especially those
living in the same household, have denied what we believe.
Such people are worse compared to unbelievers.
A widow who is put on the list for support must be a woman
who is at least sixty years old and was faithful to her husband.
She must be well respected by everyone because of the kindness
she has rendered. Has she brought up her children well? Has she
been kind to outlanders? Has she served other Yaohúshuahím humbly?
Has she helped those who are in trouble? Has she always been ready
to do what is right?
The younger widows should not be on the list, because their physical
desires will overpower their devotion to 'hol-MEHUSHKHÁY' and they
will want to remarry.
Then they would be guilty of breaking their previous pledge.
Besides, they are likely to become lazy and spend their time
gossiping from house to house, getting into other people's
business and saying things they shouldn't.
So I advise these younger widows to marry again, have children,
and take care of their own homes. Then the enemy will not be able
to speak anything against them.
For I am afraid that some of them have already deviated and now
follow ha-satán.
If a Yaohúshuayah woman has relatives who are widows, she must
take care of them and not put the responsibility on the Oholyáo.
Then the Oholyáo can care for widows who are truly alone.
Elders who do their work well should be paid well, especially those
who work hard at both proclaiming and teaching.
For the Scripture says, 'Do not keep an ox from eating as it
treads out the grain.' And in another place, 'Those who work
deserve their pay!'
Do not accept complaints against the elder unless there are two
or three witnesses to accuse him.
Anyone who sins should be rebuked in front of the whole Oholyáo
in order that others will have a proper fear of YÁOHU UL.
I solemnly command you in the presence of YÁOHU UL and
hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA and the holy angels to obey these
directives without taking sides or showing special favor to anyone.
Never be in a hurry about appointing an elder. Do not participate
in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
Don't drink only water. You ought to drink a little wine for the
sake of your stomach because you are sick so often.
Remember that some people lead sinful lives, and everyone knows
they will be judged. But there are others whose sin will not be
revealed until later.
In the same way, everyone knows how much kindness some people do,
but there are others whose kind deeds won't be known until later.

Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As you make
your requests, plead for YÁOHU UL's mercy upon them, and give
hodayáo (thanks).
Pray this way for kings and all others who are in authority,
in order that we can live in peace and quietness, in holiness
and dignity.
This is noble and pleases YÁOHU UL our Savior, for He wants
everyone to be saved and to comprehend the truth.
For there is only one YÁOHU UL and one Mediator Who can reconcile
YÁOHU UL and humanity. He is the Man ha-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA.
He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the
message that YÁOHU UL gave to the world at the proper time.
And I have been selected - this is the absolute truth -
as a proclaimer and emissary to teach the Gentiles about faith
and truth.
So wherever you assemble, I want men to pray with holy hands
lifted up to YÁOHU UL, free from anger and controversy.
And I want women in their appearance to be modest. They should wear
decent, appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves
by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or
expensive clothes.
For women who claim to be devoted to YÁOHU UL should make
themselves attractive by the noble deeds they do.
Women should hearken and learn quietly and submissively.
I do not permit women teach men or have authority over them.
Let them hearken quietly.
For YÁOHU UL made Adam first, afterward He made Khavyáo.
And it was the woman, not Adam, who was deceived by ha-satán,
and sin was the result.
But women will be saved through childbearing and by continuing
to live in faith, love, holiness and modesty.

get rid of your sins and leave all iniquity behind you. Only then,
without the spots of sin to defile you, can you walk firmly forward
to YÁOHU UL without fear.' - Yaoháv (Job) 11:14-15
'But follow YÁOHU UL your Creator just as you have until now.'
- Yaohúshua (Joshua) 23:8
'Praise YÁOHU UL if you are punished for doing right!'
- 1 Káfos (Peter) 2:9
'Remain firm when the enemy attacks. Trust YÁOHU UL;
and remember that other Yaohúshuahím (believers in the Messiah
YAOHÚSHUA) all around the world are going through these sufferings,
too.' - 1 Káfos (Peter) 5:9
'I am warning you ahead of time, dear brothers, so you can
watch out and not be carried away by the mistakes of these wicked
guys, lest you yourselves become confused, too!' - 2 Káfos 3:17
You as a male parent will teach YÁOHU UL's Words, or hearken and
obey them for wives, mothers and children (as the case may be),
then begin doing what it says, with the overall goal of glorifying
Him in your individual lives and family.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
He who loves his son will spank him often,
He who disciplines his son will profit by him,
He who teaches his son will make his enemies envious,
When the father dies he will not seem to be dead,
He has left behind him an avenger against his enemies,
Whoever spoils his son will bind up his wounds,
An unbroken horse turns out stubborn,
Pamper a child, and he will terrorize you;
Do not laugh with him, or you will have sorrow with him,
Give him no freedom in his youth,
Bow down his neck in his youth,
Discipline your son and make his yoke heavy,
Better off poor, healthy, and fit
Health and fitness are better than any gold,
There is no wealth better than health of body,
Death is better than a life of misery,
Leland Wang, the Chinese evangelist, told of an incident of his
childhood which vividly exemplifies the substitutionary work of
the Messiah . On one occasion he had been very naughty and his
mother, with a stick in her hand, called him to her to be punished.
But he ran off, taunting his mother because she could not catch him.
She had little chance of catching her small, lively son.
So she froze still and said, 'I feel ashamed of myself that I have
brought up a stubborn boy who is not willing to be disciplined
by his mother when he does wrong, so I must punish myself,'
and she began to whip her bare arm.
This so touched Leland's heart that he ran back to his mother,
threw himself into her arms, and pleaded with her not to hurt
herself but to punish him.
But no further punishment was necessary. Mr. Wang says that,
as he grew older, the memory of this event helped him to comprehend
the great love of the Savior Who willingly took our place.
True or False
Right or wrong, the children should side with their mother,
in cases of conflicts between parents.
Loyalty means remaining on the side of the authority
in times of conflicts of loyalty and more so in times
of his need.
The authority in any family is the male parent, with wife
and children and other household staff subordinate unto him.
The male parent is the servant-leader of the household and
provides for the needs of everyone, spiritual as well as
material.
In cases of conflicts of loyalty between parents, the children
are scripturally correct to side with their male parent, while
helping their female parent to adjust to and adhere to the
policies and directives of the male parent or husband.
If the children get it wrong and side with their mother,
and should they rebel against the male parent or head of the
family, the mother and children will soon become bitter enemies
against each other as their punishment for rebelling jointly
against their duly-established authority.
The children must side with the male parent because even the
female parent is scripturally obliged to obey him.
As we have learned, the subordinates will always get the
authority that they deserve.
It would be best for you to read the YAOHÚSHUA guideline

It is but gentlemanly and morally correct on the part of the
husband to attend the second wedding of his wife to another
man and give the newlyweds his blessing, and tell his children
to take the second husband for their new father in the family.
Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA said: 'I tell you that anyone who divorces
his wife, except for fornication, causes her to become an
adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits
adultery.' - ManYÁOHU 5:32
The term 'fornication' above refers to unfaithfulness that
was committed during the betrothal period. It does not refer
to unfaithfulness during the actual marriage relationship
because if that were so, the appropriate word that should
have been used must be 'adultery' and not 'fornication.'
The Holy Scriptures expressly forbid second marriages while
the other partner is still alive. Only death of either of
the marriage partners can dissolve a marriage covenant.
Even if one remarries, that does not give the other partner
an excuse much less a license to remarry, no matter how long
they have been separated.
'Till death do us part....' is the solemn oath taken.
And take note, whoever marries a divorced person is actually
committing adultery.
Even your own Holy Scriptures clearly warn against such.
One day as the crowds were gathering, He (YAOHÚSHUA) went up
the hillside with His disciples and sat to teach them there.
Happy are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Happy are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Happy are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Happy are those who hunger and thirst for what is right,
for they will be filled.
Happy are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Happy are the pure in heart, for they will see YÁOHU UL.
Happy are the peacemakers, for they will be called children
of YÁOHU UL.
Happy are those who are persecuted for the sake of what is right,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Happy you are when people insult you, persecute you and
falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
Be happy about it and be very glad! For great is your reward
in heaven, for in the same way the ancient prophets who came
before you were persecuted too.
You are the world's salt, to make it tolerable. If you lose
your flavor, what will happen to the world? And you yourselves
will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.
You are the world's light - a city on a hill, glowing in the night
for all to see. Don't hide your light! Let it shine for all to see;
let your kind deeds glow for all to marvel at, and so they will
praise your heavenly YÁOHU ABí (Father)
Don't miscomprehend why I have come - it isn't to cancel the laws
of Mehushúa (Moses) and the warnings of the prophets. No, I came
to fulfill them, and to make them all come true.
With all the integrity I have I tell you: Every law in the Book
will continue until its purpose is achieved. And so if anyone
breaks the least commandment, and goes on to teach others to,
he shall be the least among those in the Kingdom of Heaven.
But those who teach YÁOHU UL's laws and obey them shall be great
in the Kingdom of Heaven.
But I warn you - unless your uprightness is greater than that
of the Pharisees and other YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) leaders, you can't
get into the Kingdom of Heaven at all!
Under the laws of Mehushúa (Moses), the rule was, 'If you commit
murder, you must die.'
But I have expanded that rule, and tell you that if you are only
angry, even in your own home, you are in danger of judgment!
If you say to your friend 'ráca!' (you are wicked!), you will be
in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse him,
you are in danger of the fires of hell.
So if you are up arisen before the altar in the Temple, offering
a sacrifice to YÁOHU UL and quickly remember that a friend has
something against you, leave your sacrifice beside the altar and go,
ask forgiveness and be reconciled with him, and then return to offer
your sacrifice to YÁOHU UL.
Come to terms quickly with your enemy before it is too late and
he drags you into court and you are thrown into a debtor's cell,
for you will remain there until you have paid the last cent.
The laws of Mehushúa (Moses) said, 'You shall not commit adultery.'
But I say, 'Anyone who even looks at a woman with lustful gaze
in his eye has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
So if your eye - even if it is your best eye! - causes you to lust,
gouge it out and throw it away. Better for part of you to be ruined
than for all of you to be hurled into hell.
And if your hand - even your right hand! - causes you to sin, cut it
off and throw it away. Better that than find yourself in hell.
The law of Mehushúa says, 'If anyone wants to get rid of his wife,
he can divorce her merely by giving her a letter of dismissal.'
But I say that a man who divorces his wife, except for fornication,
causes her to commit adultery if she marries again. And he who
marries her commits adultery.
Again, the law of Mehushúa says, 'You shall not break your vows
to YÁOHU UL, but must fulfill them all.'
But I say: Don't make any vows! And even to say, 'By heavens!'
is a sacred vow to YÁOHU UL, for the heavens are the throne of
YÁOHU UL.
And if you say, 'By the earth!' it is a sacred vow, for the earth
is His footrest.
And don't swear 'By Yaohúshua-oléym (Jerusalem)!' for Yaohúshua-oléym
is the capital City of the Great King.
Don't even swear 'By my head!' for you can't turn one hair white
or black.
Say just a simple 'Yes,' or 'No.' Your word is enough.
To reinforce your promise with a vow shows that something is wrong!
The law of Mehushúa says, 'If a man gouges out another's eye,
he must pay with his own eye. If a tooth gets knocked out,
knock out the tooth of the one who did it.'
But I declare: Don't resist violence! If you are slapped on one
cheek, turn the other too. If you are summoned to court, and your
shirt is taken from you, give your coat too.
If the military demand that you carry their gear for a mile,
carry it two.
Give to those who ask, and don't turn away from those who want
to borrow.
There is a saying, 'Love your friends and hate your enemies.'
But I say: Love your enemies!
Pray for those who persecute you!
In that way you will be behaving as true children of your heavenly
YÁOHU ABí. For He gives sunlight to both the evil and the upright,
and sends rain on the just as well as on the unjust too.
If you love only those who love you, what virtue is that?
Even scoundrels do that much.
If you are friendly only to your friends, how are you different
from anyone else? Even the pagans do that.
But you are to be perfect, even as your heavenly YÁOHU ABí is perfect!
'If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are
not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more
than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine.' - ManYÁOHU 10:37
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
YAOHÚ-dah, a servant of YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY,
and brother of YÁOHU-caf.
Yaohúshuahím (believers) everywhere - beloved of YÁOHU UL
and selected by Him. May you be given more and more of
YÁOHU UL's kindness, peace and love.
Dearly loved friends, I had been planning to write you some thoughts
about the salvation YÁOHU UL has given us, but now I find I must
write of something else, urging you to vigorously defend the truth
which YÁOHU UL gave, once for all, to His people to keep without
change through the years.
I say this because some impious teachers have wormed their way in
among you, claiming that after we become Yaohúshuahim we can do
just as we like without fear of YÁOHU UL's punishment!
The fate of such people has been written long ago, for they have
turned against our only Ruler and King: YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.
My answer to them is: Remember this fact - which you know already
- that YÁOHU UL saved a whole nation of people out of the land
of Egypt, and then killed every one of them who did not trust
gam obey Him.
And may I remind you of those angels who were once pure and holy,
but turned to a life of sin. Now YÁOHU UL has them chained up
in prisons of darkness, waiting for the Judgment Day.
And don't forget the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and their
neighboring towns, all full of lust of every kind including
lust of men for other men.
Those cities were annihilated by fire and continue to be a warning
to us that there is a hell in which sinners are punished!
Yet these false teachers carelessly go right on living their evil,
immoral lives, degrading their bodies and laughing at those who
are in authority over them, even scoffing at the powerful ones.
Yet Micha-Úl, one of the mightiest of the angels, when he was
arguing with ha-satán, did not even dare to bring a slanderous
indictment against him nor jeer at him, but simply said,
'YÁOHU UL rebuke you!'
But these people mock and curse at anything they do not comprehend,
and, like animals, they do whatever they feel like, thereby ruining
their own souls.
Oy (woe) upon them! For they follow the example of Cain who
brutally murdered his brother; and, like Balaam they will do
anything for money; and like Koreh, they have disobeyed YÁOHU UL
and will die under His curse.
When these guys mingle among you at the love feasts of the Oholyáo
(Congregation), they are evil smears among you, laughing and
carrying on, gorging and stuffing themselves without a thought
for others.
They are like clouds blowing over dry land without giving rain,
promising much, but delivering nothing.
They are like fruit trees without any fruit at harvest time.
They are not only dead, but doubly dead, for they have been
pulled out, roots and all, to be burned.
All they leave behind them is shame and ill repute like the dirty
foam left along the beach by the wild waves.
They wander around looking as bright as the 'cocavím' (s-ars),
but ahead of them is the eternal gloom and darkness that YÁOHU UL
has prepared for them.
Kanóch, who lived seven generations after Adam, knew about these
guys and said this about them: 'See, YÁOHU UL is coming with
millions of His holy ones.
He will bring the people of the world before Him in judgment,
to receive just punishment, and to prove the terrible things
they have done in rebellion against YÁOHU UL, revealing all
they have said against Him.'
These guys are habitual gripers, never satisfied, doing whatever
evil they feel like; they are loud-mouthed 'show-offs' and when
they show respect for others, it is only to get something from
them in return.
Dear friends, remember what the emissaries of our Molkhiúl
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY told you, that in the last times
there would come these scoffers whose whole purpose in life
will be to indulge themselves in every evil way imaginable.
They spark arguments; they crave for the evil things of the world;
they do not have the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' living in them.
But you, dear friends, must build up your lives ever more securely
upon the foundation of your holy faith, learning to pray in the
power and vigor of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA.'
Always remain within the boundaries where YÁOHU UL's love can
reach and bless you.
Wait patiently for the eternal life that our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA
hol-MEHUSHKHÁY in His mercy is going to give you.
Try to help those who argue against you. Be merciful to those
who doubt. Save some by snatching them as from the very flames
of hell itself.
And as for others, help them to find YÁOHU UL by being kind to them,
but be careful that you yourselves aren't pulled along into their
sins. Hate every trace of their sin while being merciful to them
as sinners.
And now - all glory to Him Who alone is YÁOHU UL, Who saves us
through YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY our Molkhiúl!
Yes, splendor and majesty, all power and authority are His
from the beginning; His are they and His they evermore shall be!
And He is able to keep you from slipping and falling away,
and to bring you, sinless and perfect, into His glorious presence
with mighty shouts of eternal happiness. Amnáo!
Faithfulness which is the opposite of Treachery
Remaining on the side of my authority
especially in his time of need.
For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' is....FAITHFULNESS - Gal. 5:22
You will renew and reinvigorate your faithfulness and loyalty
to your authorities, parents and marriage partners, if any,
and you must always remain on the side of your authority
especially in times when conflicts of loyalty occur.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Do not be jealous of the wife of your bosom,
Do not submit yourself under a woman
Do not go near a loose woman,
Do not dally with a singing girl,
Do not look intently at a virgin,
Do not give yourself to prostitutes,
Do not look around in the alleys of a city,
Turn away your eyes from a shapely woman,
Never dine with another man's wife,
I remember hearing of someone's dream in which he imagined that
when he died he was taken by the angels to a beautiful Temple.
After admiring it for a time he discovered that one little pebble
was left out.
He said to the angel, 'What is this pebble left out for?'
The angel replied, 'That was left out for you; but you wanted
to do great things, and so there was no room left for you.'
He was shocked and awoke, and resolved that he would become
a diligent, humble worker for the Most High, and that person
always worked faithfully after that.
It is vital that you reinvigorate your relationship with your
children, if any, and other subordinates and feed them the Word
of YÁOHU Ulhím because all your efforts toward this endeavor
would yield eternal results.
The Word of YÁOHU Ulhím lasts forever, and the soul of your children
and other subordinates are eternal, too, and so it is well worth
the continual, patient effort to lovingly and gently feed them
the Word which will keep them free from all works of the enemy.
What's more, when you invest spiritual seed in the lives of your
children and other subordinates, the harvest will consist of many
souls which would otherwise remain in dark ignorance and defeat.
You and all those in your circle of influence, in time, will add up
to quite a number who will be endowed with the valuable seed of
YÁOHU Ulhím's Word because of your untiring devotion.
But you must have right motives in your heart as you begin to
renew your commitment to your children and other subordinates,
and special emphasis is given here to those parents who are
separated from their children because of divorce.
Why do you want to invest time with your children?
To obey YÁOHU Ulhím's command to teach your children and all those whom He has assigned to be under you care and nurture.
To act out your love and care for them in the sight YÁOHU Ulhím and others.
To inculcate and encourage in your children and subordinates the admiration for and also the reverential fear of YÁOHU Ulhím.
To teach them to be grateful to YÁOHU Ulhím and also to all the members of the family, not only to you.
To find ways that you can actually show genuine love and faithfulness to your former partner, children and subordinates.
Please examine and correct your motives now.
To be continued....
Children, obey your parents; this is the right thing to do
because YÁOHU UL has placed them in authority over you.
Honor your father and mother.
This is the first of YÁOHU UL's Ten Commandments that ends
with a promise. And this is the promise: that if you honor your
father and mother, yours will be a long and fully-enriched life.
And now a word to you parents. Don't exasperate your children
by continual scolding and discouraging remarks thus making them
resentful.
Rather, bring them up with the teachings and loving discipline
YÁOHU UL Himself approves.
Workers, obey your employers; be eager to give them your very best.
Serve them as you would hol-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah) Himself.
Don't work hard only when your boss is observing and then shirk
when he isn't looking.
Work hard and with gladness all the time, as though working
for ha-MEHUSHKHÁY, doing the will of YÁOHU UL with all your hearts.
Remember, YÁOHU UL will pay you for each fine job you do, whether
you are slave or free.
And you employers should treat your workers right, just as
I have told them to treat you. Don't keep threatening them;
remember, you yourselves are serving hol-MEHUSHKHÁY; you have
the same Manager they do, and He has no favorites.
Last of all I want to remind you that your vigor must come
from YÁOHU UL's mighty power within you. Put on all of YÁOHU UL's
armor so you will be able to endure against all schemes and tricks
of ha-satán.
For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood,
but against persons without bodies - the evil rulers of the unseen
world, those mighty satanic beings and horrible evil princes of
darkness who rule this world; and against huge numbers of wicked
spirits in the unseen world.
So use every piece of YÁOHU UL's armor to resist the enemy
whenever he attacks, and when it is all over, you will still
be enduring.
But to do this, you will need the durable belt of truth and
the breastplate of YÁOHU UL's uprightness. Wear shoes that are
able to speed you on as you proclaim the Glorious Message of peace
with YÁOHU UL.
In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop
the fiery arrows aimed at you by ha-satán. And you will need
the helmet of salvation and the sword of the 'RÚKHA' - which is
the Word of YÁOHU UL.
And pray all the time. Ask YÁOHU UL for anything in line with
the will of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Holy Spirit). Plead with Him,
reminding Him of your needs, and keep praying earnestly for all
Yaohúshuahím everywhere.
Pray for me, too, and ask YÁOHU UL to give me the right words
as I boldly tell others about Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA and as I explain
to them that His salvation is for the Gentiles too.
I am in chains now for proclaiming this message from YÁOHU UL.
But pray that I will keep on speaking out boldly for Him even
here in prison, as I should.
Tychicus, who is a much loved brother and faithful helper in
ha-Molkhiúl's work, will tell you all about how I am getting along.
I am dispatching him to you for just this purpose, to let you know
how we are and be encouraged by his report.
May YÁOHU UL give peace to you, my Yaohúshuahím brethren, and love,
with faith from YÁOHU ABí (the Father) and Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA
hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.
May YÁOHU UL's favor and blessing be upon all who truly love
our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.
Ephesians 6, Holy Scriptures
'If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are
not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more
than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine.' - ManYÁOHU 10:37
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
'And now, O Yaoshorúl, hearken carefully to these laws I teach you,
and obey them if you want to live and enter into and possess the
land given you by YÁOHU Ulhím of your forefathers.
Do not add other laws or subtract from these; just obey them,
for they are from YÁOHU your UL. You have seen what YÁOHU Ulhím
did to you at Baal-Peor, where He ruined many people for worshiping
idols. But all of you who were faithful to YÁOHU your UL are still
alive today.
These are the laws for you to obey when you arrive in the land
where you will live. They are from YÁOHU our UL. He has given
them to me to pass on to you.
If you obey them they will give you a reputation for wisdom and
intelligence. When the surrounding nations hear these laws they
will exclaim, 'What other nation is as wise and prudent like
Yaoshorúl!' For what other nation, great or small, has the
Creator Eternal among them, as YÁOHU our UL is here among us
whenever we call upon Him?
And what nation, no matter how great, has laws as fair as these
I am giving you today?
But watch out! Be very careful never to forget what you have
seen YÁOHU Ulhím doing for you. May His miracles have a deep
and permanent impression upon your lives! Tell your children
and your grandchildren about the glorious miracles He did.
Tell them especially about the day you arose before YÁOHU Ulhím
at Mount Horeb, and He told me, 'Summon the people before Me and
I will direct them, in order that they will learn always to
reverence Me, and so they can teach My laws to their children.'
You arose at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain burned
with fire; flames shot far into the sky, surrounded by black
clouds and deep darkness.
And YÁOHU Ulhím spoke to you from the fire; you heard His words
but didn't see Him. He proclaimed the laws you must obey -
the Ten Commandments - and wrote them on two 'ebaním' tablets.
Yes, it was at that time that YÁOHU Ulhím commanded me to issue
the laws you must obey when you arrive in the Promised Land.
But beware! You didn't see the form of YÁOHU Ulhím that day as
He spoke to you from the fire at Mount Horeb, so never defile
yourselves by trying to make a statue of YÁOHU Ulhím - an idol
in any form, whether of a man, woman, animal, bird, a small animal
that runs along the ground, or a fish.
And do not look up into the sky to worship the sun, moon, or cocavím.
YÁOHU Ulhím may permit other nations to get away with this, but not
you.
YÁOHU Ulhím has rescued you from prison - Egypt - to be His special
people, His own inheritance; this is what you are today. But He was
angry with me because of you; He vowed that I could not go over the
Yardayán River into the fertile land He has given you as your own
inheritance.
I must die here on this side of the river. Beware lest you break
the covenant YÁOHU your UL has made with you! You will break it
if you make any idols, for YÁOHU your UL has seriously forbidden
this. He is a devouring fire, a jealous YÁOHU Ulhím.
In the future, when your children and grandchildren are born
and you have been in the land a long time, and you have defiled
yourselves by making idols, and YÁOHU your UL is very angry because
of your sin, heaven and earth are witnesses that you shall be quickly
ruined in that land.
Soon you will go over the Yardayán River and conquer that land.
But your days over there will be brief; you will then be utterly
ruined. For YÁOHU Ulhím will scatter you among the nations,
and you will be but few in number.
There, far away, you will worship idols made from wood and rock,
idols that neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.
But you will also begin to search again for YÁOHU your UL,
and you shall find Him when you search for Him with all your
hearts and souls.
When those bitter days have come upon you in the latter times,
you will finally return to YÁOHU your UL and hearken to what
He tells you. For YÁOHU your UL is merciful - He will not
abandon you nor ruin you nor forget the promises He has made
to your forefathers.
In all epochs, going back to the time when YÁOHU Ulhím created
man upon the earth, search from one end of the heavens to the
other to see if you can find anything like this: An entire nation
heard the voice of YÁOHU Ulhím speaking to it from fire, as you
did, and lived!
Where else will you ever find another example of YÁOHU Ulhím's
removing a nation from its slavery by means of terrible plagues,
mighty miracles, war and terror? Yet that is what YÁOHU your UL
did for you in Egypt, right before your very eyes.
He did these so you would realize that YÁOHU is UL, and that
there is no one else like Him. He let you hear His voice
directing you from heaven, and He let you see His great pillar
of fire upon the earth; you even heard His words from the midst
of the fire.
It was because He loved your forefathers and determined to bless
their offsprings that He Himself brought you out from Egypt with
a terrific display of power. He drove away other nations greater
by far than you, and gave you their land as an inheritance, as it
is today. This is your wonderful thought for the day: YÁOHU is UL
both in heaven and down here upon the earth; and there is no Eternal
Creator other than Him!
You must obey these laws that I will tell you today, in order that
all will be well with you and your children, and that you will live
forever in the land YÁOHU your UL is giving you.'
Deuteronomy 4:1-40, Holy Scriptures
INTEGRITY which is the opposite of Deceitfulness
Doing my tasks and dealing with others with pure,
honest gam unselfish motives.
'But YÁOHU UL will not deal gently with people who act like that;
He ruins those proud liars who say, 'We will lie to our hearts'
content. Our lips are our own; who can stop us?'' - Psalms 12:3-4
'Don't judge by a man's face or height, for this is not the one.
I don't make conclusions the way you do! People judge by outward
appearances, but I look at a person's thoughts and inner motives.'
- 1 Samu-Ul 16:7
'Woe to you, Pharisees, and you religious leaders! You are like
beautiful mausoleums - full of dead men's bones, and of foulness
and corruption.' - ManYÁOHU (Matthew) 23:27
'Think this over carefully and you will see that I am correct.'
- YÁOHU-khánam (John) 7:24, Holy Scriptures
You will now begin sowing the eternal, incorruptible seed of the
Word of YÁOHU Ulhím in the hearts and minds of all those whom
YÁOHU Ulhím has appointed within your circle of influence,
believing it is you who must plant, while the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA'
does the watering and YÁOHU Ulhím gives the growth till the ripened
fruit comes ready for harvest.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
The whole gist of wisdom is the reverential fear of YÁOHU Ulhím,
The knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom,
There is a cleverness that is detestable,
Better are the YÁOHU Ulhím-fearing who lack intelligence
There is a cleverness that is exact but unjust,
There is the villain bowed down in mourning,
He hides his face and pretends not to hear,
Even if lack of ability keeps him from committing sins,
A person is known by his appearance,
A person's attire and hearty laughter,
If he gets things finished, he's a dictator;
It is vital that you reinvigorate your relationship with your
children, if any, and other subordinates and feed them the Word
of YÁOHU Ulhím because all your efforts toward this endeavor
would yield eternal results.
The Word of YÁOHU Ulhím lasts forever, and the soul of your children
and other subordinates are eternal, too, and so it is well worth
the continual, patient effort to lovingly and gently feed them
the Word which will keep them free from all works of the enemy.
What's more, when you invest spiritual seed in the lives of your
children and other subordinates, the harvest will consist of many
souls which would otherwise remain in dark ignorance and defeat.
You and all those in your circle of influence, in time, will add up
to quite a number who will be endowed with the valuable seed of
YÁOHU Ulhím's Word because of your untiring devotion.
But you must have right motives in your heart as you begin to
renew your commitment to your children and other subordinates,
and special emphasis is given here to those parents who are
separated from their children because of divorce.
Why do you want to invest time with your children?
To teach your children YÁOHU Ulhím's scriptural principles and values in life.
To rearrange your priorities and give YÁOHU Ulhím and the responsibilities He gave you top priority in your daily life.
To teach your children fulfill all their duties and responsibilities unto YÁOHU Ulhím and all the other members of the family.
To prove to your children that you have not rejected them despite of the marriage breakup.
To prove to your ex that you still honor your vows and fulfill your responsibilities unto YÁOHU Ulhím and to your children regardless.
Please examine and correct your motives now.
Children, obey your parents; this is the right thing to do
because YÁOHU UL has placed them in authority over you.
Honor your father and mother.
This is the first of YÁOHU UL's Ten Commandments that ends
with a promise. And this is the promise: that if you honor your
father and mother, yours will be a long and fully-enriched life.
And now a word to you parents. Don't exasperate your children
by continual scolding and discouraging remarks thus making them
resentful.
Rather, bring them up with the teachings and loving discipline
YÁOHU UL Himself approves.
Workers, obey your employers; be eager to give them your very best.
Serve them as you would hol-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah) Himself.
Don't work hard only when your boss is observing and then shirk
when he isn't looking.
Work hard and with gladness all the time, as though working
for ha-MEHUSHKHÁY, doing the will of YÁOHU UL with all your hearts.
Remember, YÁOHU UL will pay you for each fine job you do, whether
you are slave or free.
And you employers should treat your workers right, just as
I have told them to treat you. Don't keep threatening them;
remember, you yourselves are serving hol-MEHUSHKHÁY; you have
the same Manager they do, and He has no favorites.
Last of all I want to remind you that your vigor must come
from YÁOHU UL's mighty power within you. Put on all of YÁOHU UL's
armor so you will be able to endure against all schemes and tricks
of ha-satán.
For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood,
but against persons without bodies - the evil rulers of the unseen
world, those mighty satanic beings and horrible evil princes of
darkness who rule this world; and against huge numbers of wicked
spirits in the unseen world.
So use every piece of YÁOHU UL's armor to resist the enemy
whenever he attacks, and when it is all over, you will still
be enduring.
But to do this, you will need the durable belt of truth and
the breastplate of YÁOHU UL's uprightness. Wear shoes that are
able to speed you on as you proclaim the Glorious Message of peace
with YÁOHU UL.
In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop
the fiery arrows aimed at you by ha-satán. And you will need
the helmet of salvation and the sword of the 'RÚKHA' - which is
the Word of YÁOHU UL.
And pray all the time. Ask YÁOHU UL for anything in line with
the will of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Holy Spirit). Plead with Him,
reminding Him of your needs, and keep praying earnestly for all
Yaohúshuahím everywhere.
Pray for me, too, and ask YÁOHU UL to give me the right words
as I boldly tell others about Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA and as I explain
to them that His salvation is for the Gentiles too.
I am in chains now for proclaiming this message from YÁOHU UL.
But pray that I will keep on speaking out boldly for Him even
here in prison, as I should.
Tychicus, who is a much loved brother and faithful helper in
ha-Molkhiúl's work, will tell you all about how I am getting along.
I am dispatching him to you for just this purpose, to let you know
how we are and be encouraged by his report.
May YÁOHU UL give peace to you, my Yaohúshuahím brethren, and love,
with faith from YÁOHU ABí (the Father) and Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA
hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.
May YÁOHU UL's favor and blessing be upon all who truly love
our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.
Ephesians 6, Holy Scriptures
'If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are
not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more
than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine.' - ManYÁOHU 10:37
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
'And now, O Yaoshorúl, hearken carefully to these laws I teach you,
and obey them if you want to live and enter into and possess the
land given you by YÁOHU Ulhím of your forefathers.
Do not add other laws or subtract from these; just obey them,
for they are from YÁOHU your UL. You have seen what YÁOHU Ulhím
did to you at Baal-Peor, where He ruined many people for worshiping
idols. But all of you who were faithful to YÁOHU your UL are still
alive today.
These are the laws for you to obey when you arrive in the land
where you will live. They are from YÁOHU our UL. He has given
them to me to pass on to you.
If you obey them they will give you a reputation for wisdom and
intelligence. When the surrounding nations hear these laws they
will exclaim, 'What other nation is as wise and prudent like
Yaoshorúl!' For what other nation, great or small, has the
Creator Eternal among them, as YÁOHU our UL is here among us
whenever we call upon Him?
And what nation, no matter how great, has laws as fair as these
I am giving you today?
But watch out! Be very careful never to forget what you have
seen YÁOHU Ulhím doing for you. May His miracles have a deep
and permanent impression upon your lives! Tell your children
and your grandchildren about the glorious miracles He did.
Tell them especially about the day you arose before YÁOHU Ulhím
at Mount Horeb, and He told me, 'Summon the people before Me and
I will direct them, in order that they will learn always to
reverence Me, and so they can teach My laws to their children.'
You arose at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain burned
with fire; flames shot far into the sky, surrounded by black
clouds and deep darkness.
And YÁOHU Ulhím spoke to you from the fire; you heard His words
but didn't see Him. He proclaimed the laws you must obey -
the Ten Commandments - and wrote them on two 'ebaním' tablets.
Yes, it was at that time that YÁOHU Ulhím commanded me to issue
the laws you must obey when you arrive in the Promised Land.
But beware! You didn't see the form of YÁOHU Ulhím that day as
He spoke to you from the fire at Mount Horeb, so never defile
yourselves by trying to make a statue of YÁOHU Ulhím - an idol
in any form, whether of a man, woman, animal, bird, a small animal
that runs along the ground, or a fish.
And do not look up into the sky to worship the sun, moon, or cocavím.
YÁOHU Ulhím may permit other nations to get away with this, but not
you.
YÁOHU Ulhím has rescued you from prison - Egypt - to be His special
people, His own inheritance; this is what you are today. But He was
angry with me because of you; He vowed that I could not go over the
Yardayán River into the fertile land He has given you as your own
inheritance.
I must die here on this side of the river. Beware lest you break
the covenant YÁOHU your UL has made with you! You will break it
if you make any idols, for YÁOHU your UL has seriously forbidden
this. He is a devouring fire, a jealous YÁOHU Ulhím.
In the future, when your children and grandchildren are born
and you have been in the land a long time, and you have defiled
yourselves by making idols, and YÁOHU your UL is very angry because
of your sin, heaven and earth are witnesses that you shall be quickly
ruined in that land.
Soon you will go over the Yardayán River and conquer that land.
But your days over there will be brief; you will then be utterly
ruined. For YÁOHU Ulhím will scatter you among the nations,
and you will be but few in number.
There, far away, you will worship idols made from wood and rock,
idols that neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.
But you will also begin to search again for YÁOHU your UL,
and you shall find Him when you search for Him with all your
hearts and souls.
When those bitter days have come upon you in the latter times,
you will finally return to YÁOHU your UL and hearken to what
He tells you. For YÁOHU your UL is merciful - He will not
abandon you nor ruin you nor forget the promises He has made
to your forefathers.
In all epochs, going back to the time when YÁOHU Ulhím created
man upon the earth, search from one end of the heavens to the
other to see if you can find anything like this: An entire nation
heard the voice of YÁOHU Ulhím speaking to it from fire, as you
did, and lived!
Where else will you ever find another example of YÁOHU Ulhím's
removing a nation from its slavery by means of terrible plagues,
mighty miracles, war and terror? Yet that is what YÁOHU your UL
did for you in Egypt, right before your very eyes.
He did these so you would realize that YÁOHU is UL, and that
there is no one else like Him. He let you hear His voice
directing you from heaven, and He let you see His great pillar
of fire upon the earth; you even heard His words from the midst
of the fire.
It was because He loved your forefathers and determined to bless
their offsprings that He Himself brought you out from Egypt with
a terrific display of power. He drove away other nations greater
by far than you, and gave you their land as an inheritance, as it
is today. This is your wonderful thought for the day: YÁOHU is UL
both in heaven and down here upon the earth; and there is no Eternal
Creator other than Him!
You must obey these laws that I will tell you today, in order that
all will be well with you and your children, and that you will live
forever in the land YÁOHU your UL is giving you.'
Deuteronomy 4:1-40, Holy Scriptures
INTEGRITY which is the opposite of Deceitfulness
Doing my tasks and dealing with others with pure,
honest gam unselfish motives.

He ruins those proud liars who say, 'We will lie to our hearts'
content. Our lips are our own; who can stop us?'' - Psalms 12:3-4

To child, wife, to brother or friend,
While you are still alive and have breath in you,
For it is better that your children should ask from you
Excel in all that you do;
At the time when you end the days of your life,
'Nobody likes me at school,' said the son. 'The teachers don't,
and the other pupils don't. The superintendent wants to transfer me,
the bus driver hates me, and the custodians have it in for me.
I don't want to go to school!'
'You have to go,' adamantly exclaimed the mother. 'You're healthy.
You have a lot to learn. You have something to offer others.
You are a leader. Besides, you are 49 years old. You're the
principal, and so you should regularly go to school!'
Whenever you as a parent attempt to teach your children the Word,
whether they be living with you or not, it is not uncommon to
encounter initial negative reactions from them but this should
never stop you from going on ahead with your noble goal.
Such negative reactions or barriers may be the results of past
hurts, disappointments and failures which they have experienced
with or from you.
So after much prayer for them and 'binding the enemy' in their
lives, here are some tips on how to remove common barriers which
parents often encounter whenever they begin to teach the eternal
Words of YÁOHU Ulhím to their children:
Challenge each of them to be a bit
frank though still respectful enough
for them to recount what promises
you made to them, and do your best
to fulfill those you still have the
ability to do, and humbly ask their
forgiveness for those you really can't,
explaining why it is already impossible
for you to fulfill them at this time.
The more earnest you are in fulfilling
your promises to them, the easier would
it be for them to believe that you are
now really seriously devoted to them.
You should apply scriptural principles
in earning back the respect and esteem
of your children toward you. You must
make sure that you likewise are full
of respect toward your own authorities,
you must frankly admit your mistakes
and ask their forgiveness, and you must
remain silent, never retaliating, when
falsely accused. In this way, YÁOHU UL
will make sure that you likewise receive
the respect of your own subordinates.
Keep in mind that you will always reap
from your own subordinates whatever you
sow toward your own authorities. It is
a universal principle which you can
freely use to achieve your YÁOHU UL
given goals.
The person who is often reproved but refuses to accept corrections
will unexpectedly and quickly be broken and never have another
opportunity.
With upright men in authority, the people exult;
but with the wicked in power, they groan.
A wise son makes his father happy, but a lad who hangs around
with prostitutes disgraces him.
A just king gives stability to his nation, but one who demands
bribes ruins it.
Flattery is a trap; evil persons are caught in it, but upright
individuals keep away and sing for gladness.
The upright person knows the poor man's rights;
the wicked don't care.
Fools begin fights everywhere while wise people try to keep peace.
There's no use arguing with a fool. He only rages and scoffs,
and tempers flare.
The upright pray for those who long to kill them.
A rebel shouts in anger; a wise man holds his temper in and calms it.
A wicked ruler will have wicked aides on his staff.
Rich and poor are alike in this: each depends on YÁOHU UL for light.
An authority (leader or king) who is fair to the poor shall have
a long reign.
Scolding and spanking a child helps him to learn. Left to himself,
he brings shame to his mother.
When rulers are wicked, their people are, too; but upright people
will live to see the tyrant's ruin.
Discipline your child and he will give you happiness and
peace of mind.
Where there is ignorance of YÁOHU UL, crime runs wild;
but what a wonderful thing it is for a nation to know
and keep His laws.
Sometimes mere words are not enough - discipline is needed.
For the words may not be heeded.
There is more hope for a fool than for a man of quick temper.
Pamper a servant from childhood, and he will expect you
to treat him like your own son!
A hot-tempered person begins fights and gets into all kinds
of trouble.
Pride ends in a fall, while humility brings honor.
A person who assists a thief must really hate himself!
For he knows the consequence but does it anyway.
Fear of others is a dangerous trap, but to trust fully
in YÁOHU UL means safety.
Do you want justice? Don't fawn on the judge,
but ask YÁOHU UL for it!
The upright hate the wickedness of the bad.
The wicked hate the noble traits of the upright.
Maush'léi (Proverbs) 29, Holy Scriptures
'If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are
not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more
than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine.' - ManYÁOHU 10:37
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Oh, YÁOHU-tam, my son, be zealous with the power 'hol-MEHUSHKHÁY'
(the Messiah) YAOHÚSHUA gives you.
For you must teach others those subjects you and many others have
heard me speak about. Teach these great truths to dependable men
who will, in turn, pass them on to others.
Take your share of suffering as a fine warrior of YAOHÚSHUA
hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, just as I do, and as a warrior of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY,
do not let yourself become tied up in worldly affairs, for then
you cannot satisfy the One Who has included you in His army.
Follow ha-Molkhiúl's rules for doing His work, just like an athlete
either follows the rules or is disqualified and wins no prize.
Work hard, like a farmer who gets paid well if he raises a large crop.
Think over these three examples, and may Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA help you
to comprehend how they apply to you.
Don't ever forget the wonderful fact that YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY
was a Man, born into King Dáoud's family; and that He was Himself
'UL' (Omnipotent Eternal Creator), as shown by the fact that He rose
again from the dead.
It is because I have proclaimed these great truths that I am
in trouble here and have been put in jail like a criminal.
But the Word of YÁOHU UL is not chained, even though I am.
I am more than willing to suffer if that will bring salvation and
eternal glory in hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA to those YÁOHU UL has
selected.
I am comforted by this truth, that when we suffer and die for
hol-MEHUSHKHÁY it only means that we will begin living with Him
in heaven.
And if we think that our present service for Him is hard,
simply remember that some day we are going to sit with Him
and rule with Him.
But if we give up when we suffer, and turn against ha-MEHUSHKHÁY,
then He must likewise turn against us.
Even when we are too weak to have any faith left, He remains
faithful to us and will help us, for He cannot disown us who are
part of Himself, and He will always carry out His promises to us.
Remind your people of these great truths, and command them
'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA not to argue
over unimportant matters.
Such arguments are confusing and useless, and even harmful.
Work hard so YÁOHU UL can say to you, 'Well done.'
Be a fine workman, one who does not need to be ashamed when
YÁOHU UL examines your work.
Know what His Word says and means!
Keep clear of stupid discussions which lead people into the sin
of anger with each other. Things will be said that will burn
and hurt for a long time to come.
Hymenaeus and Philetus, in their love of arguments, are men
exactly like that. They have left the path of truth, proclaiming
the lie that the overall resurrection of the dead has already
occurred; and they have weakened the faith of some who believe them.
But YÁOHU UL's truth remains firm like a great solid rock,
and nothing can shake it. It is a foundation 'éban' (s-one)
with these words written on it:
'Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA knows those who are really His,' and
'A person who calls himself a Yaohúshuahée should not be doing
activities that are wrong.'
In a wealthy home there are dishes made of gold and silver
as well as some made from wood and clay. The expensive dishes
are used for guests, and the cheap ones are used in the kitchen
or to put garbage in.
If you keep away from sin you will be like one of these dishes
made of purest gold - the very best among all inside the house -
so ha-MEHUSHKHÁY Himself can use you for His highest purposes.
Run from anything that gives you evil thoughts that young guys
often have, but keep close to anything that makes you want
to do right.
Have faith and love, and delight in the companionship of those
who love Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA and have pure hearts.
Again I say, don't get involved in stupid arguments which only
upset people and make them angry!
YÁOHU UL's people must not be quarrelsome; they must be gentle,
patient teachers of those who are wrong.
Be humble when you are trying to teach those who are mixed up
about the truth. For if you talk meekly and respectfully to them,
they are more likely, with YÁOHU UL's help, to turn away from their
wrong ideas and believe what is really true.
Then they will come to their senses and escape from ha-satán's
trap of slavery to sin which he uses to catch them whenever he likes,
and then they can really begin doing the will of YÁOHU UL.
KINDNESS which is the exact opposite of CRUELTY
Being benevolent, humane, merciful,
compassionate, tender, warm, forgiving,
sweet-tempered and loving toward all;
never returning evil for evil but
overcoming evil with what is noble.
For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' is KINDNESS - Gal. 5:22
You will, by the help and power of the indwelling 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA'
develop the character trait of kindness and humility as you bow
your knees in prayer to YÁOHU Abihúl asking Him to give you the
desire, knowledge and wisdom to obey His command for you to teach
His Words to your children and other subordinates, and by your
actually beginning to teach them now.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
My child, perform your tasks with deep humility;
The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself;
For great is the might of YÁOHU UL;
Neither seek what is too difficult for you,
Reflect upon what you have been commanded,
Do not meddle in matters that are beyond you,
For their proud conceit has led many into error,
Without eyes there is no light;
A stubborn mind will fare badly at the end,
A stubborn mind will be burdened by troubles,
When calamity befalls the proud, there is no healing,
The mind of the intelligent appreciates proverbs,
The U. S. Supreme Court ruled in 1975 that public school teachers
may spank a pupil against the wishes of the child's parents.
The Court said the pupil must be informed beforehand that that
specific action might cause a spanking and that a written explanation
should be furnished to a parent on request.
It also required that paddling not be resorted to unless other
means of discipline had failed, and that a second school officer
must witness the punishment.
The decision was appealed by Virginia Baker of Greensboro,
North Carolina, on behalf of herself and her son, Russell,
a sixth grader who was paddled in December 1973 for throwing
a ball outside of designated play time.
She said she had asked school authorities not to use corporal
punishment because she was opposed to it, even though the
Holy Book recommends it.
Whenever you as a parent attempt to teach your children the Word,
whether they be living with you or not, it is not uncommon to
encounter initial negative reactions from them but this should
never stop you from going on ahead with your noble goal.
Such negative reactions or barriers may be the results of past
hurts, disappointments and failures which they have experienced
with or from you.
So after much prayer for them and 'binding the enemy' in their
lives, here are some tips on how to remove common barriers which
parents often encounter whenever they begin to teach the eternal
Words of YÁOHU Ulhím to their children:
One of the uses of salt is to create
thirst among those who get to taste it.
You are the salt of the earth and so
you must learn how to create thirst
gam hunger for uprightness among those
in your circle of influence.
This is usually done by you being
so deeply engrossed and full of
excitement in matters revealed
by YÁOHU Ulhím in His Holy Word
and by asking highly intriguing
queries which your children would
want you to give scriptural answers to.
The young are naturally inquisitive
and it is best to arouse their inherent
curiosity as regards relevant truths
in the Holy Scriptures which would give
them practical wisdom and safe guidance,
especially in activities which they are
involved daily.
Flavorless salt is discarded and thrown
out as worthless and useless. So you
must always be the flavorful kind of salt.
Above all, pray to YÁOHU Abihúl to create
the hunger and desire for Him and His Word
in your children's hearts, as you flavor
their lives with your salt.
You must make plans in advance and
notify and confirm with each one of them
of your meeting with them for learning
purposes.
Best if you can intersperse your learning
time with related happy activities or
an outing, a picnic or a gathering for
lunch or dinner or some other happy
activity.
Remember that half the happiness of the
event is looking forward to it.
To be continued....
Every young man who hearkens to me and obeys my teachings will be
given wisdom and fine sense. Yes, if you want better insight gam
discernment, and are searching for them as you would for lost money
or hidden treasure, then wisdom will be given you, and knowledge
of YÁOHU UL Himself; you will soon learn the importance of reverence
for YÁOHU UL and of relying upon Him.
For YÁOHU UL grants wisdom! His every word is a treasure of knowledge
and comprehension. He grants fine sense to the upright - His holy
ones. He is their shield, protecting them and guarding their pathway.
He shows how to differentiate between right and wrong, how to find
the right decision every time. For wisdom and truth will enter
the very core of your being, filling your life with happiness.
You will be given the sense to keep away from evil persons who
want you to be their accomplices in crime - people who turn from
YÁOHU UL's ways to walk down dark and evil paths, and have much
pleasure in doing wrong, for they thoroughly delight in their sins.
Everything they do is crooked and wrong.
Only wisdom from YÁOHU UL can save a man from the flattery
of prostitutes; these women have abandoned their husbands and
flouted the laws of YÁOHU UL. Their houses lie along the road
to death and hell.
The men who enter them are doomed. None of these men will ever
be the same again.
On the contrary, you must always follow the steps of the upright,
and remain on the right path, for only upright people are happy
in life to the full; evil men lose the fine things they might
have had, and they themselves shall be ruined.
Maush'léi (Proverbs) 2, Holy Scriptures
'If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are
not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more
than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine.' - ManYÁOHU 10:37
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
If you fully obey all of these commands of YÁOHU Ulhím your Creator,
the laws I am declaring to you today, YÁOHU Ulhím will transform you
into the greatest nation in the world!
These are the blessings that will come upon you:
Blessings in the city,
YÁOHU Ulhím will defeat your enemies before you; they will march
out together against you but scatter before you in seven directions!
YÁOHU Ulhím will bless you with bountiful crops and healthy cattle,
and prosper everything you do when you arrive in the land YÁOHU your
UL is giving you.
He will transform you into a holy people dedicated to Himself;
this He has promised to do if you will only obey Him and walk
in His ways.
All the nations in the world shall observe that you belong
to YÁOHU Ulhím, and they will remain in awe.
YÁOHU Ulhím will give you an abundance of beneficial things
in the land, just as He promised: many children, many cattle,
and abundant crops.
He will open to you His bountiful treasury of rain in the heavens,
to give you fine crops every due time.
He will bless everything you do!
And you shall lend to many nations, but shall not borrow from them.
If you will only hearken and obey the commands of YÁOHU your UL
that I am giving you today, He will make you the head and not the
tail, and you shall always have the upper hand.
But each of these blessings depends on your not deviating in any
way from the laws I have given you; and you never must worship
other idols.
If you won't hearken to YÁOHU your UL and won't obey these laws
I am giving you today, then all of these curses shall come upon you:
Curses in the city,
For YÁOHU Ulhím Himself will send His curse upon you.
You will be confused and a failure in everything you do,
until at last you are ruined because of the sin of forsaking Him.
He will send disease among you until you are ruined from the face
of the land which you are about to enter and possess. He will send
tuberculosis, fever, infections, plague and war. He will blight
your crops, covering them with mildew. All these ruin shall pursue
you until you perish.
The heavens above you will be as unyielding as bronze, and the earth
beneath will be as iron. The land will become dry as dust for lack
of rain, and dust whirlwinds shall ruin you.
YÁOHU Ulhím will cause you to be defeated by your enemies.
You will march out to battle gloriously, but flee before your
enemies in utter confusion; and you will be tossed to and fro
among all the nations of the earth.
Your dead bodies will be food to the birds and wild animals,
and no one will be there to chase them away.
He will send upon you Egyptian boils, tumors, scurvy, and itch,
for none of which will there be a remedy. He will send madness,
blindness, fear and panic upon you.
You shall grope in the bright sunlight just as the blind person
gropes in darkness.
You shall not prosper in anything you do!
You will be oppressed, also robbed continually, and nothing will
save you.
Someone else will marry your fiancee; someone else will live
in the house you build; someone else will eat the fruit of the
vineyard you plant.
Your oxen shall be butchered before your eyes, but you won't get
a single bite of the meat. Your donkeys will be driven away as
you watch, and will never return to you again.
Your sheep will be given to your enemies. And there will be
no one to protect you. You will watch as your sons and daughters
are taken away as slaves.
Your heart will break with longing for them, but you will not
be able to help them.
A foreign nation you have not even heard of will eat the crops you
will have worked so hard to grow. You will always be oppressed
till finally crushed.
You will go mad because of all the tragedy you see around you.
YÁOHU Ulhím will cover you with boils from head to foot.
He will exile you and the king you will select, to a nation
to whom neither you nor your forefathers gave a second thought;
and while in exile you shall worship idols of wood and stone!
You will become an object of horror, a proverb and a byword among
all the nations, for YÁOHU Ulhím will thrust you away.
You will sow much but reap little, for the locusts will eat your
crops. You will plant vineyards and care for them, but you won't
eat the grapes or drink the wine, for worms will devour the vines.
Olive trees will be growing everywhere, but there won't be enough
olive oil to anoint yourselves! For the trees will drop their fruit
before it is ripe.
Your sons and daughters will be snatched away from you as slaves.
The locusts shall ravage your trees and vines. Foreigners living
among you shall become richer and richer while you become poorer
and poorer.
They shall lend to you, not you to them! They shall be the head
and you shall be the tail!
All these curses shall pursue and overtake you until you are
ruined - all because you refuse to hearken to YÁOHU your UL.
These horrors shall befall you and your offsprings as a warning:
You will become slaves to your enemies because of your failure
to praise YÁOHU Ulhím for all that He has given you. YÁOHU Ulhím
will dispatch your enemies against you, and you will be hungry,
thirsty, naked and in want of everything. A yoke of iron shall
be placed around your neck until you are finished!
YÁOHU Ulhím will bring a far-off nation against you, swooping down
upon you like an eagle; a nation whose language you don't comprehend
- a nation of fierce and angry men who will have no mercy upon young
or old.
They will devour you out of house and home until your cattle and
crops are consumed. Your grain, new wine, olive oil, calves and
lambs will all disappear.
That nation will lay siege to your cities and knock down your highest
walls - the walls you will trust to protect you. You will even eat
the flesh of your own sons and daughters in the terrible days of
siege that lie ahead.
The most kindhearted man among you will be utterly callous toward
his own brother and his beloved wife and his children who are still
alive. He will refuse to give them a share of the flesh he is
devouring - the flesh of his own children - because he is dying
of hunger in the midst of the siege of your cities.
The most gentle and delicate woman among you - the one who would
not so much as touch her feet to the ground - will refuse to share
with her beloved husband, son, and daughter. She will hide from
them the afterbirth and the new baby she has borne, in order that
she herself can eat them.
Very terrible will be the hunger during the siege and the awful
anguish caused by your enemies at your gates.
If you refuse to obey all the laws written in this book,
thus refusing reverence to the glorious and fearful Shúam (Name)
of YÁOHU your UL, then YÁOHU Ulhím will send perpetual plagues
upon you and upon your children.
He will bring upon you all the diseases of Egypt which you feared
so much, and they shall plague the land. And that is not all!
YÁOHU Ulhím will bring upon you every sickness and plague there is,
even those not yet mentioned in this book, until you are ruined.
There will be few of you left, though before you were as numerous
as 'cocavím' (s-ars).
All this if you do not hearken to YÁOHU your UL.
Just as YÁOHU Ulhím has exulted over you and has performed such
glorious deeds for you and has multiplied you, so YÁOHU Ulhím
at that time will delight also in ruining you; and you shall
disappear from the land.
For YÁOHU Ulhím will scatter you among all the nations from one end
of the earth to the other. There you will worship heathen idols
that neither you nor your forefathers have known, idols made of wood
and stone!
There among those nations you shall find no rest, but YÁOHU Ulhím
will give you trembling hearts, darkness and bodies weakened from
sorrow and fear. Your lives will hang in doubt.
You will live night and day in fear, and will have no reason
to believe that you will see the morning light.
In the morning you will say, 'Oh, that night were here!'
And in the evening you will say, 'Oh, that morning were here!'
You will say this because of the awesome horrors surrounding you.
Then YÁOHU Ulhím will send you back to Egypt in ships, a journey
I promised you would never need to make again; and there you will
offer to sell yourselves to your enemies as slaves - but no one
will even want to buy you.'
Deuteronomy 28, Holy Scriptures
RESOURCEFULNESS which is the opposite of MENTAL LAZINESS
Wisely using my time, money, assets and
abilities in promoting and expanding the
Kingdom of YÁOHU Ulhím and in explaining
the eternal truths of His Kingdom to my
children and others around me.
For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' is KINDNESS - Gal. 5:22
You will plan out regular happy learning activities with your
children and think of ways and propose queries which will arouse,
ignite their curiosity, thirst gam hunger and desire for YÁOHU Ulhím
and His Holy Word.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Utterly miserable, with their hopes set upon dead things,
are those who think of as their creators the works of human hands,
gold and silver fashioned with skill, and likenesses of animals,
or a useless stone, the work of an ancient hand.
A skilled woodcutter may chop down a tree easy to handle
and skillfully scrape off all its bark, and then with expert
workmanship make a useful vessel that serves life's needs,
and burn the cast-off pieces of his work to prepare his food,
and eat his fill.
But a cast-off piece from among them, useful for nothing,
a stick crooked and full of knots, he takes and carves with care
in his leisure, and shapes it with skill gained in idleness;
he forms it in the likeness of a human being, or makes it like
some worthless animal, giving it a coat of red paint and coloring
its surface red and covering every blemish in it with paint.
Then he makes a suitable niche for it, and sets it in the wall,
and attaches it there with nails.
He takes careful thought for it, so it won't fall,
because he knows that it cannot help itself,
for it is only an image and has need of help.
When he prays about his belongings and his marriage and children,
he is not ashamed to address a lifeless thing.
For health he appeals to a thing that is weak;
for life he prays to a thing that is dead;
for help he entreats a thing that is stupidly inexperienced;
for a prosperous journey, a thing that cannot take a step;
for money-making and work and success with his hands
he asks vigor from a thing whose hands have no vitality.
Again, one preparing to sail and about to voyage over raging waves
calls upon a piece of wood more fragile than the ship that carries
him.
For the idea of making idols was the beginning of fornication,
and the invention of them was the corruption of life; for they
did not exist from the beginning, nor will they last forever.
Edward Francis Green, head of the Pennington School for Boys,
a school which does not confer degrees upon graduates, says he
will not be happy unless all of his boys have, before they leave
the school, won the five following eternal degrees:
'A.B. - Ardent Believer.'
Whenever you as a parent attempt to teach your children the Word,
whether they be living with you or not, it is not uncommon to
encounter initial negative reactions from them but this should
never stop you from going on ahead with your noble goal.
Such negative reactions or barriers may be the results of past
hurts, disappointments and failures which they have experienced
with or from you.
So after much prayer for them and 'binding the enemy' in their
lives, here are some tips on how to remove common barriers which
parents often encounter whenever they begin to teach the eternal
Words of YÁOHU Ulhím to their children:
It is vital that you clear up your
own conscience in regard to your
relationships with your marriage
partner and children.
You must confess your sins first
to YÁOHU Ulhím and also to each
of them concerned, followed by
eagerly seeking their forgiveness.
There are sins that we commit against
others which require earnest showing
of genuine repentance and humility
on our part before actual forgiveness
is obtained.
Genuine repentance involves our
fully realizing how deep the hurt
and the seriousness of the damage
which we have committed against them
or which were brought about by our own
failures, negligence and irrespon-
sibilities.
Mouth confession and admission, coupled
by deep remorse and regret, with just
gam fair restitution, when possible,
are required in seeking full forgiveness
and in clearing one's conscience.
Flexibility is the keyword in cases
such as this. You, as the teacher, must
be ready to quickly change your teaching
methods and techniques to suit whatever
is called for by surrounding events
at the moment.
You should be ready to give them the
appropriate Words of YÁOHU Ulhím which
they need and are appropriate in that
particular case or eventuality.
You must use unexpected pressures or
events to teach YÁOHU Ulhím's relevant
scriptural principles, and avoid the
rigidity of laid out lesson plans.
This approach highly increases their
curiosity gam desire for more of what
YÁOHU Ulhím teaches in His Word.
And you will avoid being irrelevant
and boring.
A wise teacher makes learning
full of excitement and cheer!
To be continued....
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but harsh words cause quarrels.
A wise teacher learning a delight; a rebellious teacher spouts
stupidity.
YÁOHU UL is observing everywhere and keeps His eye on both
the evil and the upright.
Gentle words cause life and health; griping brings discouragement.
Only a fool despises his father's advice; a wise son ponders
upon every admonition.
There is treasure in being upright, but trouble dogs the wicked.
Only the upright can give sound advice. Rebels can't.
YÁOHU UL hates the gifts of the wicked, but delights in the prayers
of His people.
YÁOHU UL despises the deeds of the wicked, but loves those who try
to be upright. If they stop trying, YÁOHU UL will punish them;
if they rebel against that punishment, they will die.
The depths of hell are open to YÁOHU UL's knowledge.
How much more the hearts of all mankind!
A mocker keeps away from wise men because he hates to be scolded.
A happy face means a glad heart; a sad face means a breaking heart.
A wise person is hungry for truth, while the mocker feeds on trash.
When a person is gloomy, everything seems to go wrong;
when he is cheerful, everything seems right.
Better a little with reverence for YÁOHU UL, than great treasure
and trouble with it.
It is better to eat soup with someone you love than steak
with someone you hate.
A quick-tempered person begins fights; an even-tempered person
tries to stop them.
A lazy fellow experiences trouble all through life;
the upright person's path is easy!
A sensible son brings happiness to his father; a rebellious son
brings sorrow to his mother.
If a person delights in foolishness, something is wrong!
The sensible remain on the pathways of what is right.
Plans go wrong with too few advisers; many advisers bring success.
Everyone delights in giving correct advice, and how wonderful
it is to be able to say the right thing at the right time!
The road of the upright leads upward, leaving hell behind.
YÁOHU UL ruins the property of the proud but cares for widows.
YÁOHU UL hates the thoughts of the wicked but delights in kind words.
Dishonest money brings grief to all the family, but hating bribes
brings happiness.
An upright person thinks before he speaks; the evil person pours
out his evil words without even a thought.
YÁOHU UL is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayers
of the upright.
Pleasant sights as well as fine reports give happiness and health.
If you profit from positive criticism you will be elected
to the wise men's hall of fame. But to reject criticism
is to harm yourself and your own beneficial interests.
Humility and reverence for YÁOHU UL will make you both wise
and honored.
Maush'léi (Proverbs) 15, Holy Scriptures
'If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are
not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more
than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine.' - ManYÁOHU 10:37
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
You must obey all the commands I give you today. If you do,
you will not only live, you will multiply and will go in and
take over the land promised to your fathers by YÁOHU Ulhím.
Do you recall how YÁOHU Ulhím led you through the wilderness
for all those forty years, humbling you and proving you to find out
how you would respond, and whether or not you would really obey Him?
Yes, He humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you
with manna, a food previously unknown to both you and your
forefathers.
He did it to help you realize that food isn't everything, and that
real life comes by obeying every command of YÁOHU Ulhím.
For all these forty years your clothes haven't grown old, and your
feet haven't been scathed or swollen. So you should realize that,
as a man punishes his son, YÁOHU Ulhím punishes you to help you.
Obey the laws of YÁOHU your Ulhím. Walk in His ways and fear Him.
For YÁOHU your Ulhím is bringing you into a pleasant land of brooks,
pools, gushing springs, valleys, and hills; it is a land of wheat
and barley, of grape vines, fig trees, pomegranates, olives and
honey; it is a land where food is plentiful, and nothing is scarce.
It is a land where iron is as common as 'éban' (s-one), and copper
is abundant in the hills. When you have eaten your fill, you bless
YÁOHU your Ulhím for the pleasant land He has given you.
But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty,
you don't forget YÁOHU your Ulhím and begin to disobey Him.
For when you have become full and prosperous and have built fine
homes to live in, and when your flocks and herds have become very
large, and your silver and gold have multiplied, that is the time
to watch out that you don't become proud, and forget YÁOHU your
Ulhím Who brought you out of your slavery in the land of Egypt.
Beware that you don't forget YÁOHU Ulhím Who led you through
the great and terrible wilderness with the dangerous snakes and
scorpions, where it was so hot and dry.
He even gave you water from the rock! He fed you with manna in
the wilderness (it was a kind of bread unknown before) so you would
become humble and in order that your trust upon Him would grow,
and He could do you kindness.
He did it so you would never feel that it was your own power and
ability that made you wealthy. Always remember that it is YÁOHU
your Ulhím Who gives you power to become rich, and He does it
to fulfill His promise to your forefathers.
But if you forget about YÁOHU your Ulhím and worship other idols
in His place, and follow evil ways, you shall surely perish,
just as YÁOHU Ulhím has caused other nations in the past disappear.
That will be your fate, too, if you don't obey YÁOHU your Ulhím.
FLEXIBILITY which is the opposite of RIGID LAZINESS
Willingness to adapt and adjust
to prevailing events by allowing
YÁOHU Ulhím and others to change
my initial plans and ideas if it
would impart YÁOHU Ulhím's ways
and principles to others better.
For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' is MEEKNESS - Gal. 5:23
You will begin to practice supplying the appropriate, relevant
and timely Words of YÁOHU Ulhím that would fit every event or
occurrence around you, with the aim of sharing YÁOHU Ulhím's
light and insight, knowledge and wisdom with others, thereby
glorifying Him and His Holy Word.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
But the unholy will be punished as their false reasoning deserves,
those who disregarded the upright and rebelled against YÁOHU Ulhím.
For those who despise wisdom and teachings are miserable.
Their hope is vain, their labors are unprofitable,
and their works are useless.
Their wives are foolish, and their children evil;
their offsprings are accursed.
For blessed is the barren woman who is undefiled,
who has not entered into a sinful sexual intercourse;
she will have fruit when YÁOHU Ulhím examines souls.
But children of adulterers will not come to maturity,
and the offsprings of an illegitimate sexual intercourse
will perish.
Even if they live long they will be held of no account,
and finally their old age will be without honor.
If they die young, they will have no hope
and no consolation on the day of judgment.
For the end of a wicked generation is grievous.
Better than this is childlessness with virtue,
for in the memory of virtue is immortality,
because it is known both by YÁOHU Ulhím and by mortals.
But the prolific brood of the wicked will be of no use,
and none of their illegitimate seedlings will take
a deep root or take a firm hold in life.
For even if they put forth boughs for a while,
remaining insecure they will be shaken by the wind,
and by the violence of the winds they will be uprooted.
The branches will be broken off before they come to maturity,
and their fruit will be useless,
not ripe enough to eat, and suitable for nothing.
For children born of illicit sexual copulations are evidences
of wickedness against their parents when YÁOHU Ulhím examines them.
But the upright, though some may die prematurely, will be at rest.
For old age is not honored for mere length of time,
nor measured by number of years.
But comprehension of YÁOHU UL's Word is 'gray hair' for anyone,
and having lived an honest gam clean life is what 'ripe old age'
really connotes.
That is why Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA said:
You must be reborn from above for unless you are spiritually reborn,
you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
On the night of November 16, Mrs. Henrietta Garrett, a lonely
81-year-old widow, died in her home in Philadelphia and, unwillingly,
began the most unusual case of inheritance litigation in modern times.
She had failed to leave a will, or no will was found, to her
$17 million estate; an enigma left unsolved. She had expertly
handled her financial affairs since the death of her husband and,
therefore, she must have realized that, without a will, her fortune
would become involved in many legal battles.
Although Mrs. Garret had, at the time of her death, only one known
relative, a second cousin, and about a dozen friends, attempts to
prove relationship to her and to claim a part or all her estate
have since been made by more than 26,000 persons from 47 states
and 29 foreign countries, represented by more than 3,000 lawyers!
In their frantic efforts, these alleged 'relatives' have committed
perjury, faked family records, changed their own names, altered data
in church records and concocted absurd tales of illegitimacy.
As a result, twelve among them were fined, ten received jail
sentences, two committed suicide and three were murdered.
The estate has, in the meantime, increased to $30 million and
is not expected to be settled for some time, while still arousing
the greed and covetousness of would-be claimants and pretenders.
Whenever you as a parent attempt to teach your children the Word,
whether they be living with you or not, it is not uncommon to
encounter initial negative reactions from them but this should
never stop you from going on ahead with your noble goal.
Such negative reactions or barriers may be the results of past
hurts, disappointments and failures which they have experienced
with or from you.
So after much prayer for them and 'binding the enemy' in their
lives, here are some tips on how to remove common barriers which
parents often encounter whenever they begin to teach the eternal
Words of YÁOHU Ulhím to their children:
The most common causes for this
type of negative reaction are hidden
sins, illicit sex and drugs, sexual
immoralities and other kinds of lust
and fornication.
You can be very sure that they are
apprehensive about you finding out
their secret faults and sexually
immoral activities and that's why
they are elusive and give imprecise
answers to your direct queries.
You must develop a closer personal
relationship with them until they
feel comfortable with you to open
themselves up to the point that
you can discuss their secret sins
and faults.
When they do, you must gently,
lovingly yet firmly tell them
YÁOHU UL's scriptural principles
in regard to freedom from all kinds
of moral impurities.
Put emphasis on how all kinds
of sexual immoralities and use
of illicit drugs ruin the lives
and families of those who indulge
in them, no matter how secretly
they are committed.
Children who have been disappointed
in the past because of parental
neglect and failures learn to cope
by refocusing their security and
interests on other people, other
things and other activities.
And this is precisely the reason why
you now have to compete with other
friends, neighbors, books, hobbies,
sports, television, movies and other
amusements.
You may have to initially include
their friends and/or other relatives
in your learning activities up to the
point where they could see and really
appreciate the value, relevance and
importance of YÁOHU Ulhím's Word.
As you re-earn their trust gam
confidence in you, you will also
gradually bring back their focus
and attention to YÁOHU Ulhím and
His Word, and you will no longer
have to compete with others.
Since we have a huge crowd of people of faith watching us from
the observation decks, let us get rid off anything that slackens us
or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves
tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience
the particular race that YÁOHU UL has set for us.
Keep your eyes fixed on YAOHÚSHUA, our Leader and Maoro-éh (Teacher).
He was willing to die a shameful death on the stake because of the
gladness He knew would be His afterwards; and now He sits in the
place of honor by the throne of YÁOHU UL.
If you want to keep from becoming fainthearted and weary, think about
His patience as sinful men did such awful things to Him. After all,
you have never yet wrestled against sin and temptation until you
sweat great drops of blood.
Do you no longer recall the encouraging words YÁOHU UL spoke to you,
His child?
He said, 'My child, don't be angry when YÁOHU UL punishes you.
Don't be discouraged when He has to show you where you are wrong.
For when He punishes you, it proves that He loves you.
When He chastises you, it proves you are really His child.'
Let YÁOHU UL train you, for He is rightfully doing what any loving
father does for His children.
Whoever heard of a child who was never corrected?
If YÁOHU UL doesn't punish you when you need it, as other fathers
punish their children, then it means that you aren't really YÁOHU
UL's child at all - that you don't really belong in His family.
Since we respect our fathers here on earth, though they punish us,
should we not all the more cheerfully submit to the training of
YÁOHU UL so we can begin to really live?
Our earthly fathers trained us for a few brief years, doing the best
for us that they knew how, but YÁOHU UL's correction is always right
and for our best benefit, that we may share His holiness.
Being punished isn't enjoyable while it is happening - it hurts!
But afterwards we can see the result, a quiet growth in grace and
character.
So take a new grip with your tired hands, remain firm on your shaky
legs, and mark out a direct, smooth path for your feet in order that
those who follow you, though weak and lame, will not fall and hurt
themselves, but become powerful.
Try to keep out of all quarrels and seek to live a clean and pure
life, for one who is not holy will not see YÁOHU UL.
Look after each other so that not one of you will fail to find
YÁOHU UL's best blessings.
Watch out that no bitterness takes root among you, for as it springs
up it causes deep trouble, hurting many in their spiritual lives.
Watch out that no one becomes involved in sexual sin or becomes
careless about YÁOHU UL as Esau did: he traded his rights as the
oldest son for a single meal.
And afterwards, when he wanted those rights back again, it was too
late, even though he wept bitter tears of repentance.
So remember, and be careful.
You have not had to face terror, flaming fire, gloom, darkness and
a terrible tempest, as the Yaoshorulítes (Israelites) did at Mount
Sinai when YÁOHU UL gave them His laws.
For there was an awesome trumpet blast, coupled with a voice
speaking out a message so ghastly that the people begged YÁOHU UL
to stop speaking.
They staggered back under YÁOHU UL's command that if even an animal
touched the mountain it must die.
Mehushúa (Moses) himself was so frightened at the sight that he shook
with terrible fear.
But you have come right up into Mount Tziyón, to the City
of the Living YÁOHU UL, the heavenly Yaohúshua-oléym (Jerusalem).
And to the gathering of countless happy angels; and to the Oholyáo
(Congregation), composed of all those enrolled in heaven!
And to YÁOHU UL Who is Judge of all; and to the spirits of the
redeemed in heaven, already made perfect.
And to YAOHÚSHUA Himself, Who has brought us His glorious
New Covenant.
And to the sprinkled 'DAM' (blood) which favorably forgives,
and which does not cry for vengeance as the blood of Abul did.
So make sure that you obey Him Who is speaking to you!
For if the people of Yaoshorúl (Israel) did not escape when they
refused to hearken to Mehushúa (Moses), the earthly emissary,
how terrible our danger would be if we refuse to hearken to
YÁOHU UL Who speaks to us from heaven!
When He spoke from Mount Sinai His voice shook the earth, but,
'Next time,' He says, 'I will not only shake the earth, but the
heavens, too.'
By this He means that He will sift out everything without solid
foundations, in order that only unshakable things will remain.
Since we have a Kingdom nothing can ruin, let us please YÁOHU UL
by serving Him with grateful hearts, and with holy, reverential
fear and awe.
For our YÁOHU UL is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 12, Holy Scriptures
'If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are
not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more
than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine.' - ManYÁOHU 10:37
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
We can make our plans, but the final outcome is in YÁOHU UL's hands.
We can always 'prove' that we are right, but is YÁOHU UL convinced?
Commit your work to YÁOHU UL, then it will succeed.
YÁOHU UL has made everything for His own purposes - even the wicked,
for punishment.
Pride disgusts YÁOHU UL. Take my word for it - proud individuals
shall be punished.
Iniquity is recompensed by mercy and truth; evil is avoided
by reverential fear of YÁOHU UL.
When a person is trying to please YÁOHU UL, YÁOHU UL makes
even his most bitter enemies to be at peace with him.
A little, gained honestly, is better than great wealth
acquired through dishonest means.
We should make plans - counting on YÁOHU UL to direct us.
YÁOHU UL will help the leader (king) to judge the people fairly;
there need be no mistakes.
YÁOHU UL demands fairness in every business deal.
He established this principle.
It is a horrible thing for a leader to do evil! His right to rule
depends upon his being fair and just.
The leader exults when his people are truthful and fair.
The anger of the authority is a messenger of death and
a wise man will appease it.
Many favors are showered on those who please the leader (authority).
How much better is wisdom than gold, and comprehension than silver!
The path of the upright leads away from evil; he who follows
that path is safe.
Pride goes before ruin, and haughtiness before a fall.
Better poor and humble than proud and rich.
YÁOHU UL blesses those who obey Him;
happy the one who puts his trust upon YÁOHU UL.
The wise man is known by his common sense,
and a pleasant teacher is the best.
Wisdom is a fountain of life to those keeping it,
but a fool's burden is his stupidity.
From a wise mind comes careful and persuasive speech.
Kind words are like honey - delightful and healthful.
Before every person there lies a wise and pleasant road
he thinks is right, but it ends in death.
Hunger is fine - if it makes you work to satisfy it!
Idle hands are ha-satán's workshop; idle lips are
his mouthpiece.
An evil person sows conflicts; gossip separates the best
of friends.
Wickedness loves company - and leads others into sin.
The wicked person gazes into space with pursed lips,
deep in thought, planning his evil deeds.
White hair is a crown of glory and is seen most
among the upright.
It is better to be slow-tempered than famous; it is better
to have self-control than to control an army.
We cast the lots - but it is YÁOHU UL Who controls the outcome.
Maush'léi (Proverbs) 16, Holy Scriptures
DISCRETION which is the opposite of RECKLESSNESS
The enablement to avoid words, behavior,
attitudes and courses of action which
would lead to unpleasant gam negative
consequences.
For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' is SELF-CONTROL
- Galatians 5:22
You will begin taking steps to re-earn the trust gam confidence
of all those whom you have disappointed and those whose expectations
you failed to meet and those whom you have broken your promises to
in order that they will begin to become receptive to the Words of
YÁOHU Ulhím as you begin to sow them into their hearts.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
An idol made with hands is accursed; so is the one who made it -
he for having made it, and the perishable thing because it was
called a 'Creator' deserving worship.
For equally hateful to YÁOHU Ulhím are the wicked and their
wickedness; for what was committed will be punished together
with the one who did it.
Therefore there will be judgment also upon the pagan idols,
because, though part of what YÁOHU Ulhím created, they became
an abomination, snares for human souls and a trap for the feet
of the stupid.
For the idea of making idols was the beginning of fornication,
and the invention of them was the corruption of life; for they
did not exist from the beginning, nor will they last forever.
For through human vanity they entered the world, and therefore
their speedy end has been planned.
For a father, consumed with grief at an untimely bereavement,
made an image of his child, who had been surprisingly taken from him;
he now honored as 'supernatural' what was once a dead human being,
and handed on to his dependents secret rites and initiations.
Then the pagan custom, grown popular with time, was kept as a law,
and at the command of monarchs carved images were worshiped.
When people could not honor monarchs in their presence, since they
lived far away, they imagined their appearance afar off, and made
a visible image of the king whom they honored, so by their zeal
they might flatter the absent one as though present.
Then the ambition of the artisan impelled even those who did not
know the king to intensify their worship.
For he, perhaps wishing to please his ruler, skillfully forced
the likeness to take more beautiful form, and the multitude,
attracted by the charm of his work, now regarded as an object
of worship the one whom shortly before they had honored merely
as a human being.
And this became a hidden trap for humankind, because people,
in bondage to misfortune or to royal authority, bestowed on objects
of 'éban' (s-one) or wood the title that is reserved only for the
real Eternal Creator.
Then it was not enough for them to err about the knowledge of
YÁOHU Ulhím, but though living in terrible conflict due to ignorance,
they call such great evils peace.
For whether they kill children in their initiations, or celebrate
secret mysteries, or hold frenzied orgies with unusual customs,
they no longer keep either their lives or their marriages pure,
but they either treacherously kill one another, or grieve one
another by adultery, and all is a raging riot of blood and murder,
theft and deceit, corruption, faithlessness, tumult, perjury,
confusion over what is noble, forgetfulness of favors, defiling
of souls, sexual perversion, disorder in marriages, adultery
and sexual immoralities.
For the worship of idols not to be named is the beginning and
cause and end of every evil.
For their worshipers either rave in exultation, or prophesy lies,
or live impurely, or readily commit perjury; for because they trust
upon lifeless idols they swear wicked oaths and expect to suffer
no harm at all.
But just penalties will overtake them on two counts: Because they
thought wrongly about YÁOHU Ulhím in devoting themselves to idols,
and because in deceit they swore wickedly through contempt for
holiness.
For it is not the power of the things by which people swear,
but the just penalty for those who sin, that always pursues
the transgression of the impious.
Imagine a man muttering in his sleep: 'My name is Lang. I am the
government executioner. These are my auxiliaries. I am very sorry
you must be hanged. You will have a few minutes in which to make
your final request.'
In that way, talking in his sleep, the government hangman in Austria
went out of his head.
Official explanation was he has a nervous breakdown from overwork.
The overwork was composed of numerous hangings of Socialists and
Nazis after the revolutionary outbreaks in that country.
He was paid $33.5o for each hanging, which he divided with two
auxiliaries. The business was lucrative, but it drove him crazy.
Yohann Lang was renowned as Europe's best-dressed executioner.
He always wore formal attire, evening clothes, when executing
at the gallows.
He was most formal, with a never-changing ceremony, when he went
to a condemned man's cell. He had a set polite speech which he
later mumbled repeatedly in his haunted dreams:
'My name is Lang. I am the government executioner. These are
my auxiliaries. I am very sorry you must be hanged. You will
have a few minutes in which to make your final request.'
You can easily discern the fears, wishes, dreams, ambitions and
goals of each child by asking about them and hearkening carefully
to their replies and answers.
Once you identify their fears, doubts and goals in life, then
you will know what Scripture principles you will have to put more
emphasis upon during your learning activities with them.
Teach them YÁOHU UL's scriptural
principles on gratefulness and
self-acceptance.
Emphasize that each has his own
unique quality which no one else
has, and each was created in the
image of YÁOHU Ulhím Himself.
Teach them the importance and
rewards of holding on to the Words
of the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA no matter
what others may say or do.
There are many cases where they
would face temptations and tests
so they must prepare to endure
and overcome each of them.
Teach them to continually keep
their focus fixed upon YÁOHU Ulhím
and to be content in Him.
Teach them also to develop skills
in making and maintaining pure
friendships with those who bring
positive influences in their lives.
Emphasize that one is complete in
Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA; He is more than
enough for all of each one's needs.
You are complete in Him!
Teach them not to depend upon their
own abilities but that they should
fully rely upon YÁOHU Ulhím to give
them the victory through our Molkhiúl
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY always.
And the glory is not in failing
but in getting up each time one
falls.
Teach them to avoid taking the
first puff, drink or sniff,
because all corrupted drunkards,
addicts and alcoholics began
with a single try which went
on and on and on.
Peer pressure and commercial ads
are the most common culprits in
acquiring bad habits.
Teach them the importance of
learning how to go against the
onrushing tide and how to avoid
herd mentality while maintaining
their commitment to clean, honest
living that YÁOHU Ulhím prescribes.
Since you became alive again, so to speak, when hol-MEHUSHKHÁY
(the Messiah) arose from the dead, now fix your sights upon the
rich treasures and happiness of heaven where He sits beside
YÁOHU UL in the place of honor and power.
Let heaven fill your thoughts; your time should never be spent
on worrying about earthly matters. You should have as little
desire for this world as a dead person does.
Your real life is in heaven with hol-MEHUSHKHÁY and YÁOHU UL.
And when hol-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah) Who is our real life comes
back again, you will shine with Him and share in all His glories!
Away then with sinful, earthly things; put to death the evil lusts
lurking within you; have nothing to do with sexual sin, impurity
and lust together with other shameful desires.
Never worship the fine things of life, for that is idolatry.
YÁOHU UL's fierce anger is upon those who do that.
You used to do them when your life was still part of this world;
but now is the time to cast off and throw away all these rotten
garments of anger, hatred, cursing and dirty language.
Don't tell lies to one another; it was your old life with all
its wickedness that did that sort of thing; now it is dead and gone.
You are living a brand new kind of life that is continually
learning more and more of what is right, and trying always to be
more and more like hol-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah) Who created this
new life within you.
In this new life, one's nationality or race or education or social
rank is not important; such matters mean nothing.
Whether a person has ha-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah) is what is vital,
and He is equally available to all!
Since you have been selected by YAOHU UL Who has given you this
new kind of life, and because of His deep love and concern for you,
you should practice tenderhearted mercy and kindness to others.
Don't worry about making a fine impression on them but be ready
to suffer quietly and patiently.
Be gentle and ready to forgive; never hold grudges.
Always keep in mind, ha-Molkhiúl (the King) forgave you,
so you must forgive others as well.
Most of all, let love guide your life; for then the whole
Oholyáo (Congregation) will remain together in perfect harmony.
Let the peace of heart which comes from hol-MEHUSHKHÁY be always
dwelling in your hearts and lives, for this is your responsibility
and privilege as members of His 'GAF' (Body).
And always be grateful!
Do always recall what hol-MEHUSHKHÁY has taught you and let His
Words enrich your lives and make you wise; teach them to one
another and sing them out in psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs, singing to ha-Molkhiúl (the King) with grateful hearts.
And whatever you do or say, let it be as a representative of
ha-Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA, and come with Him into the presence
of YÁOHU ABí (the Father) to give Him your 'hodayáo' (thanks).
You wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, for that is what
ha-Molkhiúl (the King) has planned for you. And you husbands
must be loving and kind to your wives and not bitter against them,
nor cruel.
You children must always obey your fathers and mothers, for that
pleases ha-Molkhiúl (the King).
Fathers, you should never scold your children so much that they
become discouraged to the point of exasperation.
You servants must always obey your earthly bosses, not only trying
to please them when they are watching you but all the time!
Obey them willingly because of your love for ha-Molkhiúl (the King)
and because you want to please Him.
Work hard and cheerfully at all you do, just as though you were
working for ha-Molkhiúl (the King) and not merely for your bosses,
always keeping in mind that it is ha-Molkhiúl (the King),
ha-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah), Who is going to pay you, giving you
your full portion of all He owns.
He is the One you are really working for!
And if you don't do your best for Him, He will pay you in a way
that you won't like - for He has no special favorites who can
get away with shirking (work evasion).
'If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are
not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more
than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine.' - ManYÁOHU 10:37
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
And now, just as you accepted hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA as your
Molkhiúl, you must continue to live in obedience to Him.
Let your roots grow deep into Him and draw up nourishment from Him,
so you will grow in faith, power and vigorous in the truth you were
taught.
Let your lives overflow with gratefulness for all He has carried out.
Don't let anyone lead you into error with empty philosophy and
high-flying nonsense that come from human thinking and from the
evil powers of this world, and not from hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.
For in hol-MEHUSHKHÁY the fullness of YÁOHU UL lives in a human body,
and you are COMPLETE through your union with hol-MEHUSHKHÁY. He is
ha-Molkhiúl (the Sovereign King) over every ruler and authority
in the universe.
When you came to hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, you were 'circumcised,' but not
by a physical method. It was a spiritual operation - the cutting
away of your sinful nature.
For you were buried with hol-MEHUSHKHÁY when you were baptized.
And with Him you were raised to a new life because you relied upon
the mighty power of YÁOHU UL, who raised up hol-MEHUSHKHÁY from
the dead.
You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature
was not yet cut away. Then YÁOHU UL made you alive with
hol-MEHUSHKHÁY. He forgave all our sins.
He canceled the record that contained the charges against us.
He took it and expunged it by nailing it to hol-MEHUSHKHÁY's stake.
In this way, YÁOHU UL disarmed the evil rulers and authorities.
He shamed them publicly by His victory over them on the stake
of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY.
So never let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink,
or for not celebrating special holy days or new-moon ceremonies
or Shabbaths.
For these rules were only shadows of the real thing, hol-MEHUSHKHÁY
Himself.
Don't let anyone condemn you by overemphasizing self-denial.
And don't let anyone say you must worship angels, even though
they say they have had visions about this.
These people claim to be so humble, but their sinful minds
have made them proud.
But they are not connected to hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, the Head of the body.
For we are united together in His body by His tough sinews, and we
grow only as we get our nourishment and power from YÁOHU UL.
- Colossians 2:6-19, Holy Scriptures
DISCERNMENT which is the opposite of DULLNESS
The enablement and ability given by
YÁOHU Ulhím for you to identify the
root causes and effects of people's
attitudes and behavior.
For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' is SELF-CONTROL
- Galatians 5:23
You will identify the fears, insecurities, goals, dreams, wishes
and ambitions of those whom you are supposed to guide and teach
with the Words of YÁOHU Ulhím and select those portions of His
Word which are aptly relevant in dealing with them.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
My child, when you decide to serve YÁOHU UL,
Fix your heart aright and be firm,
Cling to Him and do not depart from Him,
Accept whatever befalls you,
For gold is proven in the fire,
Trust upon Him, and He will help you;
You who reverentially fear YÁOHU UL, wait for His mercy;
You who reverentially fear YÁOHU UL, trust upon Him,
You who reverentially fear YÁOHU UL, hope for beneficial things,
Think on the generations of old and see:
Or has anyone persevered in the fear of YÁOHU UL and been forsaken?
Because YÁOHU UL is compassionate and merciful;
Woe to quitters and to lazy hands,
Woe to the fainthearted who have no trust!
Woe to you who have lost your nerve!
Those who reverentially fear YÁOHU UL do not disobey His words,
Those who reverentially fear YÁOHU UL seek to please Him,
Those who reverentially fear YÁOHU UL prepare their hearts,
Let us fall into the hands of YÁOHU UL,
Years ago I was called to the home of a widow whose daughter was
the apple of her eye. When the child was 3 years old she became
very ill, and the doctors said that she would die.
We could all comprehend the shock the prognosis brought, but we could
not justify the mother's reaction. She rebelled violently and accused
the Eternal Creator of cruelty - exactly like what the Israelites did
in Exodus 17:3.
She demanded that He spare her daughter and told Him she could never
trust Him again if He did not do so. Well, He granted the request,
in spite of the doctors' predictions.
The child grew up and lived a normal life for 13 years, but then
became a member of a criminal gang. Finally, the girl broke her
mother's heart when at the age of 17 she fell into real trouble.
The tragic end of the tale was related to me by the weeping woman
when I arrived at her home that morning.
'My Janie is dead - a suicide. Last night she hung herself in her
room!'
After minutes of convulsive sobbing she concluded, 'O doctor,
how I wish the Creator had taken her when she was 3 years old.'
You can easily discern the fears, wishes, dreams, ambitions and
goals of each child by asking about them and hearkening carefully
to their replies and answers.
Once you identify their fears, doubts and goals in life, then
you will know what Scripture principles you will have to put more
emphasis upon during your learning activities with them.
Teach them about the truths on
the life after next, the wonders
of heaven and the agonies of hell.
This will reinforce the importance
of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA and His Word
in their lives because only our
Messiah YAOHÚSHUA can deliver from
death and hell.
Best to put emphasis on our Molkhiúl
YAOHÚSHUA being the only guaranteed
way to heaven, by believing, obeying
and fully depending upon Him for our
salvation.
Teach them on the values of right
scriptural giving and on principles
of prosperity by sowing and giving.
Make clear the favor of our Molkhiúl
YAOHÚSHUA that though He was rich,
yet for our sakes, He became poor,
that we, through His poverty, might
become rich in every beneficial thing,
fully prepared unto every kind of
noble work of kindness and charity.
YÁOHU UL delights in the prosperity
of His servants! (Psalms 35:27)
Show them by practical examples
how our loving YÁOHU Abihúl truly
supplies all our needs, gives the
desires of our hearts and provides
for everything we need in this life
and more, and how He really answers
our prayer requests!
Teach them scriptural principles
on wellness and healing, deliverance
and full recovery, our Great Healer
being Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA.
Yaohúshuahím (believers) need not
suffer sicknesses and diseases
because by the wounds of Ro-éhful
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY we were
all healed.
Symptoms are lies from the enemy
and should be refused, rejected and
cast away into the sea!
Walk in the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) guided
by the Word, and not according to
your changeable feelings and moods.
Teach them that Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA
is our safe refuge, shield and
refuge against all such upheavals.
Wars and conflicts should come
because they were predicted but
our safe defense and security
is the Valiant Warrior YAOHUSHUA,
the Victor Who had overcome the
world.
At war, ruin and famine, you shall
laugh, being always of excellent
cheer, firmly looking at Molkhiúl
YAOHÚSHUA Who has made us greater
than conquerors in Him.
Teach them how to seek and receive
YÁOHU Ulhím's provisions, protection
and deliverance in all predicaments.
What is vital is for them to do
what YÁOHU Ulhím requires of them
daily, in service to Molkhiúl
YAOHÚSHUA, and entrust tomorrow
and all the future into the caring
hands of our loving YÁOHU Abihúl.
Our YÁOHU Ulhím forbids worry and
unbelief in any form or disguise,
and would rather see faith, trust
gam full dependence upon Him for
everything, both known and unknown!
Now therefore, there's no condemnation to those who belong to
hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA.
For the power of the life-giving 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) has freed you
through hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA from the power of sin that leads
to death.
The law of Mehushúa could not save us, because of our sinful nature.
But YÁOHU UL put into effect a different plan to save us. He sent
His own Son in a human body like ours, except that ours are sinful.
YÁOHU UL removed sin's control over us by giving his Son as
a sacrifice for our sins.
He did this in order that the requirement of the law would be fully
done for us who no longer follow our sinful nature but follow the
'RÚKHA' (Spirit).
Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful
things, but those who are controlled by the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA'
(Holy Spirit of YAOHÚSHUA) contemplate about matters which please
the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit).
If your sinful nature controls your mind, there is death. But if
the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' controls your mind, there is life and peace.
For the sinful nature is always hostile to YÁOHU UL. It never did
obey YÁOHU UL's laws, and it never will.
That's why those who are still under the control of their sinful
nature can never please YÁOHU UL.
But you are not controlled by your sinful nature.
You are controlled by the 'RÚKHA' if you have the 'RÚKHA-YÁOHU'
(Spirit of YÁOHU UL) living within you.
(And remember that those who do not have the 'RÚKHA-MEHUSHKHÁY'
living in them are not Yaohúshuahím at all.)
Since ha-MEHUSHKHÁY lives inside you, even though your body will
die because of sin, your spirit is alive because you have been made
right with YÁOHU UL.
The 'RÚKHA-YÁOHU' Who raised YAOHÚSHUA from the dead, lives in you.
And just as He raised hol-MEHUSHKHÁY from the dead, He will give
life to your mortal body by this same 'RÚKHA' living within you.
Therefore, dear brethren, you have no obligation whatsoever to do
what your sinful nature urges you to do.
For if you keep on following it, you will perish. But if through
the power of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' you turn from it and its evil
deeds, you will live.
For all who are led by the 'RÚKHA-YÁOHU' are children of YÁOHU UL.
So you should not be like cowering, fearful slaves. You should
behave like YÁOHU UL's very own children, adopted into His family
- calling him 'ABí, YÁOHU ABí.'
For His 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' speaks to us deep in our hearts and
tells us that we are YÁOHU UL's children.
And since we are His children, we will share His riches - because
everything YÁOHU UL gives to His Son, ha-MEHUSHKHÁY, is ours, too.
But if we are to share His glory, we must also share His suffering.
Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will
give us later.
For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when YÁOHU UL
will reveal Who His children really are.
Against its will, everything on earth was subjected to YÁOHU UL's
curse.
All creation anticipates the day when it will unite with YÁOHU UL's
children in glorious freedom from death and decay.
For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains
of childbirth right up to the present time.
And even we Yaohúshuahím, although we have the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA'
inside us as a foretaste of future glory, also groan to be released
from pain and suffering.
We, too, wait eagerly for that day when YÁOHU UL will give us
our full rights as His children, including the new bodies He has
promised us.
Now that we are saved, we eagerly look forward to this freedom.
For if you already have something, you don't need to hope for it.
But if we look forward to something we don't have yet, we must wait
patiently and confidently.
And the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' helps us in our difficulty. For we don't
even know what we should pray for, nor how we should pray.
But the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' prays for us with groanings that cannot
be expressed in words.
And YÁOHU ABí Who knows all hearts knows what the 'RÚKHA' is saying,
for the 'RÚKHA' pleads for us believers in harmony with YÁOHU UL's
own will.
And we know that YÁOHU UL causes everything to work together for
the benefit of those who love YÁOHU UL and are called according
to His purpose for them.
For YÁOHU UL knew His people in advance, and He selected them
to become like His Son, in order that His Son would be the firstborn,
with many brethren
And having selected them, He called them to come to Him. And He
gave them right relationship with Himself, and He promised them
His glory.
What can we say about such impressive things as these?
If YÁOHU UL is for us, who can ever be against us?
Since YÁOHU UL did not spare even His own Son but gave Him up for
us all, won't YÁOHU UL, Who gave us ha-MEHUSHKHÁY, also give us
everything else?
Who dares accuse us whom YÁOHU UL has selected for His own?
Will YÁOHU UL? No! He is the One Who has given us right
relationship with Himself.
Who then will condemn us? Will hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA?
No, for He is the One Who died for us and was raised to life for us
and is now on His seat, the place of highest honor next to YÁOHU UL,
pleading for us.
Can anything ever separate us from hol-MEHUSHKHÁY's love?
Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity,
or are persecuted, or are hungry or cold or in danger or threatened
with death?
(Even the Scriptures say, 'For Your sake we are killed every day;
we are being slaughtered like sheep.')
No, despite all these, overwhelming victory is ours through
hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, Who loved us.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from His love.
Death can't, and life can't. The angels can't, and the demons can't.
Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers
of hell can't keep YÁOHU UL's love away.
Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing
in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of
YÁOHU UL that is revealed in hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA our Molkhiúl.
Romans 8, Holy Scriptures
'If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are
not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more
than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine.' - ManYÁOHU 10:37
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Those who live in the safekeeping of the Most High
This I declare of YÁOHU Ulhím:
For He will rescue you from every trap
He will shield you with His wings.
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
Though a thousand fall at your side,
But you will see it with your eyes;
If you make YÁOHU Ulhím your refuge,
For He orders His angels
They will hold you with their hands
You will trample down lions and poisonous snakes;
YÁOHU Ulhím says, 'I will rescue those who love Me.
When they call on Me, I will answer;
I will satisfy them with a long life
COURAGE which is the opposite of Insecurity
Responding to challenges, threats
and the unknown with full trust,
confidence and reliance upon the
complete protection and rich
provisions of my loving YÁOHU ABí.
For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' is FAITH - Gal. 5:22
You will learn to conquer all kinds of fears and insecurities
in you and in all those whom YÁOHU Ulhím has brought under your
loving care and protection.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
The wisdom of the humble lifts their heads high,
Do not praise individuals for their fine looks,
The bee is small among flying creatures,
Do not boast about wearing fine clothes,
Many kings have had to sit upon the ground,
Many rulers have been utterly disgraced,

by daily confessions to YÁOHU Ulhím and by asking forgiveness
of all those whom he may have offended.
Train each child the scriptural skills required on spiritual
warfare especially in driving away evil spirits and in rebuking
the enemy.
Children, obey your parents; this is the right thing to do
because YÁOHU UL has placed them in authority over you.
Honor your father and mother.
This is the first of YÁOHU UL's Ten Commandments that ends with
a promise. And this is the promise: that if you honor your
father and mother, yours will be a long and fully-enriched life.
And now a word to you parents. Don't exasperate your children
by continual scolding and discouraging remarks thus making them
resentful.
Rather, bring them up with the teachings and loving discipline
YÁOHU UL Himself approves.
Workers, obey your employers; be eager to give them your very best.
Serve them as you would hol-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah) Himself.
Don't work hard only when your boss is observing and then shirk
when he isn't looking.
Work hard and with gladness all the time, as though working for
ha-MEHUSHKHÁY, doing the will of YÁOHU UL with all your hearts.
Remember, YÁOHU UL will pay you for each fine job you do, whether
you are slave or free.
And you employers should treat your workers right, just as I have
told them to treat you. Don't keep threatening them; remember,
you yourselves are serving hol-MEHUSHKHÁY; you have the same
Manager they do, and He has no favorites.
Last of all I want to remind you that your vigor must come from
YÁOHU UL's mighty power within you.
Wear all of YÁOHU UL's armor so you will be able to endure against
all schemes and tricks of ha-satán.
For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood,
but against persons without bodies - the evil rulers of the unseen
world, those mighty satanic beings and horrible evil princes of
darkness who rule this world; and against huge numbers of wicked
spirits in the unseen world.
So use every piece of YÁOHU UL's armor to resist the enemy
whenever he attacks, and when it is all over, you will still
be enduring.
But to do this, you will need the durable belt of truth and the
breastplate of YÁOHU UL's rectitude. Wear shoes that are able
to speed you on as you proclaim the Glorious Message of peace
with YÁOHU UL.
In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop
the fiery arrows aimed at you by ha-satán. And you will need
the helmet of salvation and the sword of the 'RÚKHA' - which is
the Word of YÁOHU UL.
And pray all the time. Ask YÁOHU UL for anything in line with
the will of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Holy Spirit). Plead with Him,
reminding Him of your needs, and keep praying earnestly for all
Yaohúshuahím everywhere.
Pray for me, too, and ask YÁOHU UL to give me the right words
as I boldly tell others about Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA and as I explain
to them that His salvation is for the Gentiles too.
I am in chains now for proclaiming this message from YÁOHU UL.
But pray that I will keep on speaking out boldly for Him even here
in prison, as I should.
Tychicus, who is a much loved brother and faithful helper in
ha-Molkhiúl's work, will tell you all about how I am getting along.
I am dispatching him to you for just this purpose, to let you know
how we are and be encouraged by his report.
May YÁOHU UL give peace to you, my Yaohúshuahím brethren, and love,
with faith from YÁOHU ABí (the Father) and Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA
hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.
May YÁOHU UL's favor and blessing be upon all who truly love our
Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.
Ephesians 6, Holy Scriptures
'If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are
not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more
than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine.' - ManYÁOHU 10:37
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
You must love YÁOHU your UL and obey every one of His commands.
Hear me well! I am not talking now to your children who have never
experienced YÁOHU Ulhím's punishments or seen His greatness and
His awesome power.
They weren't there to see the miracles He did in Egypt against
Pharaoh and all his land. They didn't see what YÁOHU Ulhím did
to the armies of Egypt and to their horses and chariots - how He
drowned them in the Red Sea as they were chasing you, and how
YÁOHU Ulhím has kept them powerless against you until this very day!
They didn't see how YÁOHU Ulhím cared for you time and again through
all the years you were wandering in the wilderness, until your arrival
here. They weren't there when Dathan and Abiram (the sons of Uliab,
offsprings of Reuben) sinned, and the earth opened up and swallowed
them, with their households and tents and all their belongings,
as all Yaoshorúl watched!
But you have seen these mighty miracles! How carefully, then,
you should obey these commands I am going to give you today,
in order that you may have the enablement to go in and possess
the land you are about to enter.
If you obey the commands, you will have a long and blessed life
in the land YÁOHU Ulhím promised to your forefathers and to you,
their offsprings - a wonderful land 'flowing with milk and honey'!
For the land you are about to enter and possess is not like the land
of Egypt where you have come from, where irrigation is necessary.
It is a land of hills and valleys with plenty of rain - a land that
YÁOHU your UL Himself cares for! His eyes are always upon it,
day after day throughout the year!
And if you will carefully obey all of His commands that I am going
to give you today, and if you will love YÁOHU your UL with all your
hearts and souls, and will worship Him, then He will continue to send
both the early and latter rains that will yield bountiful crops of
grain, grapes for your wine, and olive oil.
He will give you lush meadowland for your cattle to graze in,
and you yourselves shall have plenty to eat and be fully content!
But beware that your hearts do not turn from YÁOHU Ulhím to worship
other idols. For if you do, the anger of YÁOHU Ulhím will be hot
against you, and He will shut the heavens - there will be no rain
and no harvest, and you will quickly perish from the pleasant land
YÁOHU Ulhím has given you.
So keep these commands carefully in mind. Tie them to your hand
to remind you to obey them, and tie them to your forehead between
your eyes!
Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are seated
at home, when you are out walking, at bedtime, and before breakfast!
Write them upon the doors of your houses and upon your gates,
in order that as long as there is sky above the earth, you and your
children will benefit from the blessed life awaiting you in the
land YÁOHU Ulhím has promised you.
If you carefully obey all the commandments I give you, loving
YÁOHU your UL, walking in all His ways, and clinging to Him,
then YÁOHU Ulhím will drive out all the nations in your land,
no matter how much greater and tougher than you they might be.
Wherever you go, the land is yours. Your frontiers will expand
from the south Negev to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River
to the Mediterranean Sea. No one will be able to endure against
you, for YÁOHU your UL will send fear and dread ahead of you
wherever you go, just as He has promised.
I am giving you the selection today between YÁOHU Ulhím's blessing
or YÁOHU Ulhím's curse! There will be blessing if you obey the
commandments of YÁOHU your UL which I am giving you today,
and a curse if you refuse them and worship the idols of these
other nations.
When YÁOHU your UL brings you into the land to possess it,
a blessing shall be proclaimed from Mount Gerizim, and a curse
from Mount Ebal!
(Gerizim and Ebal are mountains west of the Yardayán River,
where the Canaanites live, in the wasteland near Gilgal,
where the oaks of Maoro-éh are.)
For you are to go over the Yardayán and live in the land YÁOHU Ulhím
is giving you. But you must obey all the laws I am giving you today.
Deuteronomy 11, Holy Scriptures
DETERMINATION which is the opposite of Discouragement
Parceling out big tasks and assignments
into achievable goals and happily doing
each part till everything is completed.
For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' is Gladness - Gal. 5:22
You will now begin to finalize and organize your teaching approach
and methods so you could achieve the objectives above indicated,
and continue to prayerfully seek YÁOHU Ulhím's knowledge and wisdom
in your keen desire to do His will in teaching your subordinates.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Wisdom teaches her children
Whoever loves her loves life,
Whoever holds her fast will inherit glory,
Those who serve her actually serve the Holy One;
Those who obey her will judge the nations,
If they remain faithful, they will inherit her;
For at first wisdom will walk with them on tortuous paths;
Then she will come directly back to them again and gladden them,
and will reveal her secrets to them.
If they deviate away, she will forsake them,
and hand them over to their ruin.
A discouraged employee once dreamed that he was on the top of a huge
granite rock, trying to break it with a pickax. Hour after hour he
worked on with no result. At last he said, 'It is useless; I quit!'
Surprisingly a man arose by him and asked, 'Were you not assigned
this task? And if so, why are you going to abandon it?'
'My work is useless; I can make no impression on the granite,'
was the employee's reply.
Then the man solemnly replied, 'That is not supposed to be your
concern; your duty is to pick, whether the rock yields or not.
The work is yours, the results are in other hands; so work on.'
In the dream the employee saw himself beginning again at his labor,
and at his first blow, the rock broke into hundreds of pieces!
Any teaching and learning relationship is best established upon
mutual accountability for individual progress by means of asking
queries to check up on each other.
Each will be entitled to ask others about their respective
individual daily progress at the same time likewise agreeing
to be asked queries in the same regard.
This way, each will have an opportunity to face up to daily
challenges with more confidence of success and victory.
Each will also be given chances to share their own individual
defeats, victories and successes, not only to warn others of
the pitfalls of temptations, but to encourage them as well
in the realm of spiritual warfare against the forces of evil.
By agreement therefore, each would be entitled to ask the others
in the learning group the following queries and also be asked
similarly by them:
What did you learn from your Scripture reading today?
What Scripture passages did you meditate on as you went
to sleep last night?
What Scripture passages are you currently engrafting
into your mind and heart?
Are you sure that there's no one you need to ask forgiveness
from, or someone you need to fully forgive from your heart?
What opportunities did you have this week to remain true
to your Scriptural convictions despite the pressures?
What major temptations did you successfully resist gam
surmount this past week?
Are you always vigilant on what kinds of thoughts you allow
to enter and linger in your mind, and are you very careful
about the words you actually speak out?
Who among those you encounter daily are you praying for
and sowing the Words of YÁOHU Ulhím into for them to
eventually come to the real Messiah YAOHÚSHUA?
What are your scriptural plans for the coming weeks,
based upon what YÁOHU Ulhím is urging you to fulfill?
What prayer requests did you see YÁOHU Ulhím answer
this week?
Since we have a huge crowd of people of faith watching us
from the observation decks, let us get rid off anything that
slackens us or holds us back, and especially those sins that
wrap themselves tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let
us run with patience the particular race that YÁOHU UL has set
for us.
Keep your eyes fixed upon YAOHÚSHUA, our Leader and Maoro-éh
(Teacher). He was willing to die a shameful death on the stake
because of the happiness He knew would be His afterwards.
And now He sits in the place of honor by the throne of YÁOHU UL.
If you want to keep from becoming fainthearted and weary,
think about His patience as sinful men did such awful things
to Him. After all, you have never yet wrestled against sin
and temptation until you sweat great drops of blood.
And have you quite neglected the encouraging words YÁOHU UL
spoke to you, His child?
He said, 'My child, don't be angry when YÁOHU UL punishes you.
Don't be discouraged when He has to show you where you are wrong.
For when He punishes you, it proves that He loves you!
When He chastises you, it proves you are really His child.'
Let YÁOHU UL train you, for He is rightfully doing what any
loving father does for His children.
Whoever heard of a child who was never corrected?
If YÁOHU UL doesn't punish you when you need it, as other fathers
punish their children, then it means that you aren't really
YÁOHU UL's child at all - that you don't really belong in
His family.
Since we respect our fathers here on earth, though they punish us,
should we not all the more cheerfully submit to the training of
YÁOHU UL so we can begin to really live?
Our earthly fathers trained us for a few brief years, doing the best
for us that they knew how, but YÁOHU UL's correction is always right
and for our best benefit, that we may share His holiness.
Being punished isn't fun while it's happening - it hurts!
But afterwards we can see the result, a quiet growth in grace
and character.
So take a new grip with your tired hands, remain firm on your
shaky legs, and mark out a direct, smooth path for your feet
in order that those who follow you, though weak and lame,
will not fall and hurt themselves, but become powerful.
Try to keep out of all quarrels and seek to live a clean and
pure life, for one who is not holy will not see YÁOHU UL.
Look after each other in order that not one of you will fail
to find YÁOHU UL's best blessings.
Watch out that no bitterness takes root among you, for as it springs
up it causes deep trouble, hurting many in their spiritual lives.
Watch out that no one becomes involved in sexual sin or becomes
careless about YÁOHU UL as Esau did: he traded his rights as
the oldest son for a single meal.
And afterwards, when he wanted those rights back again, it was
too late, even though he wept bitter tears of repentance.
So remember, and be careful.
You have not had to face terror, flaming fire, gloom, darkness
and a terrible tempest, as the Yaoshorulítes (Israelites) did
at Mount Sinai when YÁOHU UL gave them His laws.
For there was an awesome trumpet blast, coupled with a voice
speaking out a message so ghastly that the people begged YÁOHU UL
to stop speaking.
They staggered back under YÁOHU UL's command that if even an animal
touched the mountain it must die.
Mehushúa (Moses) himself was so frightened at the sight that
he shook with terrible fear.
But you have come right up into Mount Tziyón, to the City of the
living YÁOHU UL, the heavenly Yaohúshua-oléym (Jerusalem).
And to the gathering of countless happy angels; and to the Oholyáo
(Congregation), composed of all those enrolled in heaven.
And to YÁOHU UL Who is Judge of all; and to the spirits of the
redeemed in heaven, already made perfect;
And to YAOHÚSHUA Himself, Who has brought us His glorious
New Covenant.
And to the sprinkled 'DAM' (blood) which favorably forgives,
and which does not cry for vengeance as the blood of Abul did.
Therefore make sure that you obey Him Who is speaking to you!
For if the people of Yaoshorúl (Israel) did not escape when
they refused to hearken to Mehushúa (Moses), the earthly
representative, how terrible our danger would be if we refuse
to hearken to YÁOHU UL Who speaks to us from heaven!
When He spoke from Mount Sinai His voice shook the earth, but,
'Next time,' He says, 'I will not only shake the earth,
but the heavens too.'
By this He means that He will sift out everything without
solid foundations, so that only unshakable things will remain.
Since we have a Kingdom nothing can ruin, let us please YÁOHU UL
by serving Him with grateful hearts, and with holy, reverential
fear and awe.
For our YÁOHU UL is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 12, Holy Scriptures
'If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are
not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more
than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine.' - ManYÁOHU 10:37
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
With the authority of ha-Molkhiúl let me say this: Live no longer
as the pagans do, for they are hopelessly confused.
Their closed minds are full of darkness; they are far away from
the life of YÁOHU UL because they have closed up their minds and
hardened their hearts against Him.
They don't care anymore about right and wrong, and they have given
themselves over to immoral ways.
Their lives are filled with all kinds of impurity and greed.
But that isn't what you were taught when you learned about
hol-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah).
Since you have heard all about Him and have learned the truth
that is in YAOHÚSHUA, throw off your old evil nature and your
former way of life, which is rotten through and through,
full of lust gam deception.
On the contrary, there must be a spiritual renewal of your thoughts
and attitudes.
You must display a new nature because you are a new person,
created in YÁOHU UL's likeness - upright, holy and true.
So put away all falsehood and 'tell your neighbor the truth'
because we belong to each other.
And 'don't sin by letting anger gain control over you.'
Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger
gives a mighty foothold to ha-satán.
If you are a thief, stop stealing. Begin using your hands
for honest work, and then give generously to others in need.
Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say
be noble and helpful, in order that your words will be an
encouragement to those who hear them.
And do not bring sorrow to YÁOHU UL's 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA'
by the way you live. Remember, He is the One Who has identified
you as His own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day
of redemption.
Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander,
and also all types of wicked behavior.
On the contrary, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving
one another, just as YÁOHU UL through hol-MEHUSHKHÁY has forgiven you.
'Follow YÁOHU UL's example in everything you do, because you are
His loved children.
Live a life filled with love for others, following the example
of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY, Who loved you and gave Himself as a sacrifice
to take away your sins.
And YÁOHU UL was pleased, because that sacrifice was like sweet
perfume to Him.
Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity or greed among you.
Such sins have no place among YÁOHU UL's people.
Obscene tales, foolish talk and coarse jokes - these are not for you!
On the contrary, let there be gratefulness to YÁOHU UL.
You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will
inherit the Kingdom of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY and of YÁOHU UL.
For a greedy person is really an idolater who worships the things
of this world.
Don't be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins,
for the terrible anger of YÁOHU UL comes upon all those
who disobey Him.
Don't participate in the things these people do.
For though your hearts were once full of darkness, now you are full
of light from ha-Molkhiúl, and your behavior should show it!
For this light within you yields only what is noble and right
and true.
Try to find out what is pleasing to ha-Molkhiúl (the King).
Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness;
on the contrary, rebuke and expose them.
It is shameful even to talk about the things that unholy people do
in secret.
But when the light shines on them, it becomes clear how evil these
activities are.
And where your light shines, it will expose their evil deeds.
This is why it is said,
So be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise.
Make the most of every opportunity for doing what is right in these
evil days.
Don't act thoughtlessly, but try to comprehend what ha-Molkhiúl
really wants you to do.
Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life!
On the contrary, let the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' fill and control you.
Then you will sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among
yourselves, making music to ha-Molkhiúl in your hearts.
And you will always give 'hodayáo' (thanks) for everything
to YÁOHU ABí 'be hol-Shúam' (in the Name of) our Molkhiúl
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.
Ephesians 4:17-5:20, Holy Scriptures
RESPONSIBILITY which is the opposite of Negligence
Cheerfully and faithfully doing what
YÁOHU Ulhím and others are expecting
from me, and being accountable to my
authorities in fulfilling my daily
duties and obligations.
For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' is FAITHFULNESS - Gal. 5:22
You will begin to establish accountability between and among
the members of your learning group by regularly asking the above
itemized queries, while at the same time encouraging one another
to fulfill agreed-upon spiritual duties and responsibilities
better each day.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
There are howling winds created for vengeance,
Fire and hail and famine and pestilence,
They take delight in doing His will,
So from the beginning I have been convinced of all this
All the works of YÁOHU UL are fine,
No one can say, 'This is not as fine as that,'
So now sing praise with all your heart and voice,
In a leading women's magazine is an article entitled, 'I Reared
a Criminal.' It is the true tale of a heartbroken mother.
We quote:
We loved him, but -
You must take the opportunity in every occurrence in the lives
of the children to inculcate in them the following character traits
which will be of much help to them in facing up to the different
challenges and opportunities in life.
You must bear in mind that character traits are best learned
and acquired as you go with them through various life experiences
and teaching, training them on how to correctly respond to every
kind of predicament that they may find themselves in.
Always aware of significant physical and spiritual
occurrences around me in order that I can properly
and rightfully respond to them.
Showing the worth of an individual by giving
my undivided attention to his words, reactions
and spiritual condition.
To adjust my own daily duties and responsibilities
around the requirements and needs of those whom
YÁOHU Ulhím has assigned to protect and care for me.
Inner confidence that what I think, say or do
is honest, correct and right in the sight of
YÁOHU Ulhím.
Realizing the importance of proper timing when
performing my duties and responsibilities.
To invest whatever is required to heal the physical
and emotional hurts and wounds of others.
Being grateful and appreciative because I fully
realize that YÁOHU Ulhím has provided everything
that I need for my present happiness and gladness.
Applying YÁOHU Ulhím's knowledge, wisdom and
abilities in doing my daily tasks and duties.
The enablement to make final decisions when
confronted with difficult options, by sticking
to the revealed will and ways of YÁOHU Ulhím.
Exercising self-control and self-limitation
in everything I think, say or do in order that
I will not unnecessarily offend others.
Doing what I promised to do even if it involves
unforeseen difficulties, sacrifices and efforts.
Carrying out to the finish the goals set forth
by YÁOHU Ulhím and in His appointed time no matter
what opposers may say or do.
Visualizing that each task I do is a special
assignment given to me by YÁOHU Ulhím, through
His chain-of-command or otherwise, and utilizing
all my vigor and abilities to finish it.
The insight, comprehension and wisdom to know
the cause-and-effect relationships of significant
events in my life based upon YÁOHU Ulhím's Word.
The proficiency to avoid words, actions and attitudes
which could lead to unpleasant gam damaging results
or consequences.
'If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are
not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more
than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine.' - ManYÁOHU 10:37
YAOHÚSHUA told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone
else commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
husband and remarries, she commits adultery.' - Mark 10:11-12
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol-Shúam'
(in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
As we know YAOHÚSHUA better, His heavenly power gives us everything
we need for living an upright life. He has called us to receive His
own glory and nobility!
And by that same mighty power, He has given us all of His rich and
glorious promises. He has promised that you will escape the decadence
all around you caused by evil desires and that you will share in His
own eternal nature.
So make every effort to apply the benefits of these promises to your
life. Then your faith will yield a life of moral excellence.
A life of moral excellence leads to knowing YÁOHU UL better.
Knowing YÁOHU UL leads to self-control. Self-control leads to
patient endurance and patient endurance leads to holiness.
Holiness leads to love for other Yaohúshuahím, and finally you will
grow to have genuine love for everyone. The more you grow like this,
the more you will become productive and useful in your knowledge
of our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.
But those who fail to develop these character traits are blind or,
at least, can't see far enough. They have already neglected that
YÁOHU UL has cleansed them from their old life of sin.
Therefore, dear brethren, work hard to prove that you really are
among those YÁOHU UL has called and selected.
Doing this, you will never stumble or fall away. And YÁOHU UL will
open wide the entrance to heaven for you to get into the eternal
Kingdom of our Molkhiúl and Savior YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.

Nobility which is the opposite of Wickedness
Doing what is scripturally right, moral
and true in the light of YÁOHU Ulhím's
Word and revealed will.
For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' is Nobility - Gal. 5:22
You will begin to apply and practice yourself, and those you are
supposed to teach, train and guide, on the various character traits
suitable in each predicament or occurrence.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
Every creature loves its like,
All living beings associate with their own kind,
What does a wolf have in common with a lamb?
What peace is there between a hyena and a dog?
Wild asses in the wilderness are the prey of lions;
Humility is an abomination to the proud;
When the rich person totters, he is supported by friends,
If the rich person slips, many come to the rescue;
If the poor person slips, they even blame him;
The rich person speaks and all are silent;
The poor person speaks and they say, 'Who is this fellow?'
Riches are fine if they are free from sin;
A man complained that he could never get caught up. Every day for
20 years he looked at his desk piled high with unfinished matters,
letters unanswered, bills to be paid, appointments accumulated and
problems that should have been solved two weeks ago.
When he walked out of the house to get away from the clutter,
there was the grass that needed to be cut, and hedges that should
have been trimmed last spring. If he could only catch up, even once,
even for only for 20 minutes!
Then he slept and had a dream. He was in a large room with
a beautiful mahogany desk before him, clean, bright and shiny.
On it there were no appointments - nothing.
Through the window he could see the lawn and hedges neatly trimmed,
everything in place. It was a great relief. He had caught up
at last - thank heavens! - and peace was his, at last!
Or was it? All around the edges of his paradise there nibbled
a little query: What do I do now?
The postman down the alley was whistling, and he hailed him.
The postman had no letters for him; he was just out for a walk.
'Tell me, please' the man said, 'what place this is?'
'Why, don't you know?' replied the postman cheerily.
'This is Hell!'
You must take the opportunity in every occurrence in the lives
of the children to inculcate in them the following character traits
which will be of much help to them in facing up to the different

You must bear in mind that character traits are best learned

My child, do not cheat the poor of their living,
Do not grieve the hungry,
Do not add to the troubles of the desperate,
Do not reject a supplicant in difficulty,
Do not deflect your eyes from the needy,
A youth was stopped for a traffic violation. The public safety
official recognized the odor in the violator's car, and it was
found that he had a few 'joints' with drugs.
He was convicted of illegal possession of marijuana, an automatic
felony, and received a suspended sentence. Maybe you would think
that that is a pretty light sentence and something he could take
in his false pride and that he didn't lose much.
Well, all he lost was his right to vote, to own a gun and the right
to run for public office.
He also lost the chance to ever be a licensed doctor, dentist,
certified public accountant, engineer, lawyer, architect, realtor,
schoolteacher, barber, funeral director or stockbroker.
He can never get a job where he has to be bonded or licensed.
He can't work for the city, county, state or federal government.
He cannot be admitted to West Point, Annapolis or the Air Force
Academy.
That's what he really lost.

to those around me.
Keen desire to do what is scripturally correct,
as instigated by pure and noble motives.

Do not be so confident of forgiveness
Do not say, 'His mercy is great,

Do all the best you can, I now determine to readjust my daily activities to give

'Well,' you may be saying, 'what terrible people you have been
talking about!'
But wait a minute! You are just as bad. When you say they are
wicked and should be punished, you are talking about yourselves,
for you do these very same things.
And we know that YÁOHU UL, in justice, will punish anyone who does
such wicked activities as these.
Do you think that YÁOHU UL will judge and condemn others for doing
them and overlook you when you do them, too?
Don't you realize how patient he is being with you? Or don't you
care? Can't you see that He has been waiting all this time without
punishing you, to give you time to turn from your sin?
His kindness is meant to lead you to repentance.
But no, you won't take heed; and so you are saving up terrible
punishment for yourselves because of your stubbornness in refusing
to turn from your sin; for there is going to come a day of wrath
when YÁOHU UL will be the just Judge of all the world.
He will give each one whatever his deeds deserve. He will give
life eternal to those who patiently do the will of YÁOHU UL, seeking
for the unseen glory and honor and life eternal that He offers.
But He will terribly punish those who fight against the truth
of YÁOHU UL and walk in evil ways - YÁOHU UL's anger will be
poured out upon them.
There will be sorrow and suffering for YAOHÚ-dim and Gentiles
alike who keep on committing sins.
But there will be glory and honor and peace from YÁOHU UL for all
who obey Him, whether they are YAOHÚ-dim or Gentiles.
For YÁOHU UL does not engage in favoritism.
He will punish sin wherever it is found. He will punish the pagans
when they sin, even though they never had YÁOHU UL's written laws,
for down in their hearts they know right from wrong.
YÁOHU UL's laws are written within them; their own conscience
accuses them, or sometimes excuses them.
And YÁOHU UL will punish the YAOHÚ-dim (Jews) for sinning because
they have His written laws but don't obey them. They know what is
right, but don't do it.
After all, salvation is not given to those who know what to do,
unless they do it.
They day will surely come when, at YÁOHU UL's command, YAOHÚSHUA
hol-MEHUSHKHÁY will judge the secret lives of everyone, their inmost
thoughts and motives; this is all part of YÁOHU UL's grand plan
which I proclaim.
You YAOHÚ-dim (Jews) think all is well between yourselves and
YÁOHU UL because He gave His laws to you; you brag that you are
His special friends.
Yes, you know what He wants; you know right from wrong and favor
the right because you have been taught His laws from earliest youth.
You are very sure of the way to YÁOHU UL that you could point it out
to a blind man. You think of yourselves as beacon lights, directing
people, who are in darkness lost to YÁOHU UL.
You think that you can guide the simple and teach even children
the affairs of YÁOHU UL, for you really know His laws, which are
full of all knowledge and truth.
Yes, you teach others - then why don't you teach yourselves?
You teach others not to steal - do you steal? You say it is wrong
to commit adultery - do you do it? You say, 'Don't pray to idols,'
and then make money your idol in its place.
You are so proud of knowing YÁOHU UL's laws, but you dishonor Him
by breaking them. No wonder the Scriptures say that the world
speaks evil of YÁOHU UL because of you.
Being a YAOHÚ-di (Jew) is worth something if you obey YÁOHU UL's laws;
but if you don't, then you are no better off than the pagans.
And if the pagans obey YÁOHU UL's laws, won't YÁOHU UL give them
all the privileges and honors He planned to give the YAOHÚ-dim?
In fact, those pagans will be much better off than you YAOHÚ-dim
who know so much about YÁOHU UL and have His promises but don't obey
His laws.
For you are not real YAOHÚ-dim (Jews) just because you were born
of YAOHÚ-dim parents or because you have gone through the YAOHÚ-di
(Jewish) initiation ceremony of circumcision.
No, a real YAOHÚ-di (Jew) is anyone whose heart is right with
YÁOHU UL. For YÁOHU UL is not looking for those who cut their
bodies in actual body circumcision, but He is looking for those
with changed hearts and minds.
Whoever has that kind of change in his life will get his praise
from YÁOHU UL, even if not from you.
Virtue which is the opposite of Moral Decadence
The moral excellence which I acquire
by applying the noble principles of
YÁOHU Ulhím's Word in my daily life.
For the fruit of the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' is Nobility - Gal. 5:22
I will now dutifully and prayerfully begin to learn and teach
YÁOHU Ulhím's scriptural principles to my children and other
subordinates, that they may become firm foundations for many
upright future generations, glorifying YÁOHU Ulhím thereby.
We believe the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' always leads you into all truth
for He is the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) of Truth.
Always remember to do everything 'beh hol-Shúam' (in the Name of)
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nám!
There are those who work and labor hard and hurry,
There are others who are slow and need help,
When the archaeologists were digging in the ruins of Nineveh
they came upon a library of plaques containing the laws of the realm.
One of the laws read in effect that anyone guilty of neglect would
be held responsible for the result of his neglect. If you fail
to teach your child to obey, if you fail to teach him to respect
the property rights of others, you, and not he, are responsible
for the result of your neglect.
Continual meditation on YÁOHU UL's Words required....
All this is given to you in true love and deep humility,
'ol Shúam' (in the Name of) YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, and we all say, am-nám!
YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY is the original Name!
