Spirit, Body, and Soul, Properly Defined.

Let's start with: Genesis 2:7

• Genesis 2:7 [ASV] (American Standard Version)

• And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Alright, Let's start this study by taking a look at the word "soul":

• [Soul]

• H5315   (Strong's Exhaustive Concordance)

• נֶפֶשׁ

• nephesh

• neh'-fesh

• From H5314; properly a breathing creature, that is, animal  or (abstractly) vitality; used very widely in a literal, accommodated or figurative sense (bodily or mental): - any, appetite, beast, body, breath, creature, X dead (-ly), desire, X [dis-] contented, X fish, ghost, + greedy, he, heart (-y), (hath, X jeopardy of) life (X in jeopardy), lust, man, me, mind, mortality, one, own, person, pleasure, (her-, him-, my-, thy-) self, them (your) -selves, + slay, soul, + tablet, they, thing, (X she) will, X would have it.

•  Total KJV occurrences: 753

• [soul] = mortal breathing physical body

Are you with me so far? It is clear here that the word "Soul", means a mortal breathing body.

There are 753 occurrence in the "KJV" canon. Throughout the old testament, this is what soul means. Let's get a witness by going to Exodus 12:15 (ASV)

• Exodus 12:15 (ASV)
• 15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

Here the word soul has the exact same meaning. That being a mortal breathing physical body again, throughout the old testament, this is the case.

Now, let's go to the New Testament.We are about to discover a twist within the Scriptures English Translation. Most English Translations have this twist, and of course, the twists are not limited to English. Let's go to Matthew  10:28 for more information.

• Matthew 10:28 (ASV)
• 28And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Alright. Have you noticed anything odd, or wrong, here? Indeed there is. This translation, like most, is basically telling you as we will see here:

• Matthew 10:28 (ASV)
• 28And be not afraid of them that kill the soul, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and soul in hell.

 Alright, I guess another way to look at this twisted translation would be as follows:

• Matthew 10:28 (ASV)
• 28And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the body: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both body and body in hell.

 Alright.... Enough of that silly stuff... Let's go to the Greek Strong's to look for the real meaning of the word "soul". We already know that Yah has made clear to us in the old testament, that "soul", in the Hebrew is H5314; properly a breathing creature, that is, animal. Let's go to the Greek Strong's to look up the word "Soul". 

• (Strong's Exhaustive Concordance)

• ψυχή

• [soul]

• psuchē

• psoo-khay'

• From G5594; breath, that is, (by implication) spirit,

With this in mind, is there anything odd going on with most western translations of Matthew 10:28? and Many, Many, Many, other verses throughout Most English New Testament Translations? Yes! "soul" Here, in the Greek, really interprets to "spirit", Not "Body". Therefore the true interpretation of Matthew 10:28 Should be as follows:

• Matthew 10:28 (ASV)
• 28 And be not afraid of them that kill the body (soul), but are not able to kill the spirit: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both spirit and body (soul) in hell.

There, that wasn't too hard, was it? Please, don't think for a minute that this, and many other blunders is by accident. It is not. The words have purposefully been twisted by those that do not have your best interest at heart. Additionally, Yah is allowing this to happen. Why? to give us the opportunity to find it for ourselves, by studying to be approved, and then, giving us the opportunity to come out of Babylon. Here is Scripture to backup this claim. 1 Enoch 104:10-13.

• 1 Enoch 104:10-13 [Yah Scriptures]
•  10 And now I know this mystery, that sinners will change and pervert the Words of righteousness in many ways, and will speak wicked words, and lie, and practice great deceits, and write books concerning their words.
• 11 But when they write down truthfully all my words in their languages, and do not change or diminish ought from my words but write them all down truthfully - all that I first witnessed concerning them.
• 12 Then, I know another mystery, that books will be given to the righteous and the wise to become a cause of joy and uprightness and much wisdom.
• 13 “And to them shall the books be given, and they shall believe in them and rejoice over them, and then all the righteous who have learned from them - all the paths of uprightness - shall be recompensed.”

I do not believe we have yet received the books that Enoch has just told us the righteous will receive, as we believe this will happen after the first resurrection. That is a study for another time. I do think, however, that we can practice what Enoch has just taught us concerning properly translating scripture, which will truly please our Heavenly Father in the Shamayim. With this being said, Lets again  go to Matthew 10:28, and this time we will go to a couple of translations which can help us understand that there are some, that care about giving a proper translation, so that we will not be led astray.

• Matthew 10:28 [fbv2008eb] (Free Bible Version) 
• Don't be afraid of those who can kill you physically, but can't kill you spiritually. Instead, be afraid of the one who can destroy you physically and spiritually in Gehenna. 

Truly, is a sound translation. Let's take a look at another translation which also drives home that fact that Spirit, and Body (Soul) are two very different words.

• Matthew 10:28 [nna2010eb] (Nyangumarta English Bible)
• People might kill your body. Don't be afraid of them. They can't kill your spirit.  Fear only God. He can burn your spirit and body to ashes in the big fire.  People cannot do that. Because of that do not be afraid of them. Your Father above knows of everything. He knows when a zebra finch falls to the ground.  Truly he knows of you also. He knows the hair on your head.  One by one, all of it.  Because of that, stay without fear.  God just thinks a bit about the zebra finch, he really thinks about you always. 

These two translations are spot on with this topic of understanding the difference between Body (Soul) and Spirit. Now, since we have worked through the true meaning of Soul, which is a living breathing body. Lets take a look at the word Spirit. First, lets backup to Genesis  2:7 [ASV]

• Genesis 2:7 [ASV]
• The LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Alright, moving forward, we will take a look at some dictionaries which will show major confusion with the word "Breath". but first, we will take a look at the NASB Hebrew Lexicon to get a True interpretation of the word Breath, as Elohim Breathed into man's nostrils and he became a living soul. Here it is:

• [breath]
• NASB Hebrew Lexicon
• Strongs: H5397
  המָשָׁנְ
  \neshamah\ (bdb:675c) 
  Etymology: from H5395 
  Definition: breath 
  Usage: blast(2), breath(15), breathes(1), life(1), persons alive(1), spirit (2), who breathed(3). 

Clearly we can see here a true interpretation of the word breath Now, as we talked about a few minutes ago concerning dictionaries and translations. Most of the dictionaries or Lexicons we use were derived by Who? Yup! Men that do not have your best interest at heart. The same scribes that translated the scriptures to English also made lexicons and dictionaries for us to use to interpret the scriptures. Let's give an example of a blunder on words, which causes much confusion:

• Strongs Exhaustive Concordance: H5397
  5397
  נשׁמה
  [neshâmâh] \nesh-aw-maw'\
  From 5395; a {puff} that {is} {wind} angry or vital {breath} divine {inspiration} intellect or (concretely) an animal: - {blast} (that) breath ({-eth}) {inspiration} {soul} spirit. 

Do you see anything not so funny in this interpretation? I do! the word Soul, and also the usage of An Animal are in this description; confusing any and all that are not well studied on the topic. Yah breathed His Spirit into the body, and the breath gave the body the ability to live and breathe. I am going to tell you here that it is much safer to use the NASB Hebrew Lexicon, to gain your proper interpretation of the word spirit. I think you get the picture now. 

Lets now discuss what we are made of. We have a Spirit, and we have a Body or Soul, and we have Yahuah's Spirit that makes the Body Live. That spirit that is lent to us that keeps the body breathing will keep us alive until Yahuah takes that Spirit of Live away from us and our Bodies or Souls die. When your soul dies and Yah takes back his Spirit that keeps us breathing and alive, all that is left of us is our own spirit. Yes, we are indeed Spirit when without our Bodies. Please allow me to explain. It may surprise you that to learn that man's spirit was created even before the Heavens and Earth were created, and our Maker, Yahuah, Met with Each and Every One of us to receive our appointed place in the family of the shamayim (heaven), and earth. Let's go to our "Yah Scriptures" and pick up with the "Writings of Elijah" or ĔLIYAHU, which is also known as the "Order of the Ancients". We will pick up at Chapter 8, verse 1, and here we go.

• WRITINGS OF ĔLIYAHU
• 1 Yahuah is Elohim of knowledge.
• 2 By His Word was everything made which was made and He governeth all things according to His infinite foreknowledge.
• 3 Even before He created the shamayim and the earth, He counseled with the hosts of the shamayim and planned a plan wherein the spirit of every man should have his appointed role, for the spirit of every man appeared before the Elohim of the Ruaḥoth in the beginning and received a place appointed in the family of the shamayim and earth.

Yes, Yah Met with Every Single One of us before the heavens and earth were created. Wow! We were not taught this in sunday school, were we? Also, looking back at verse 3, it is telling us that the spirit of every man, meaning every single one of us was spirit, and did not have a body. It was not until Elohim breathed the Ruach, or Breath of Life into us that we became living Souls.

Lets recap to get a perspective. You are a spirit, Elohim, gave you a body, and put his spirit within you so that your body can breathe and function; Your Spirit + Yah's Spirit of Life, and your body became a living soul.

Now, since we are on the topic of spirit. There are several more items of concern here. First, when you Love Yahuah by keeping His Commands, and also regard His Son, Yahusha, our Messiah and High Priest, Yah will indeed give you Yet Another Spirit. That's Right, the Set-Apart Spirit of Truth; which gives you Wisdom to become set-apart unto Him. Lets get a witness from John 14:15-17.

• John 14:15-17
• 15 “If you love Me, you shall guard My Commands.
• 16 “And I shall ask the Father, and He shall give you another Helper, to stay with you forever -
• 17 the Ruaḥ of the Truth, whom the world is unable to receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. But you know Him, for He stays with you and shall be in you.

Lets slide down to John 14:23-26 for even more truth concerning the Ruach and what the Ruach will do for those that Love our Elohim and our Messiah.

• John 14:23-26
• 23 Yahusha answered him, “If anyone loves Me, he shall guard My Word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make Our stay with him.
• 24 “He who does not love Me does not guard My Words. And the Word which you hear is not Mine but of the Father who sent Me. 
• 25 “These I have spoken to you while still with you. 
• 26 “But the Helper, the Ruaḥ ha’Qodesh, whom the Father shall send in My Name, He shall teach you all, and remind you of all that I said to you.

Truthfully, without the Set-Apart Spirit of Yahuah our Elohim, we simply would not have a chance. And since we are still on the topic of Spirit. Let's discover why I made this statement of not having a chance without the Set-Apart Spirit, by discovering even more concerning spirits. In fact, did you know, that our souls, yes, our bodies are housing even more than the breath of life, our spirit, and the potentially the Set-Apart Spirit of Yah. our very souls consist of even 7, no 8 spirits. That's right. Reuben explains just exactly what we are talking about in the Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs, Reuben 1:11-33.   

• Reuben 1:11-33

• 11 And now hear me, my children, what things I saw concerning the seven spirits of deceit, when I repented.
  12 Seven spirits therefore are appointed against man, and they are the leaders in the works of youth.
  13 And seven other Ruaḥoth are given to him at his creation, that through them should be done every work of man.
  14 The first is the ruaḥ of ḥai (life), with which the constitution of man is created.
  15 The second is the sense of sight, with which ariseth desire.
  16 The third is the sense of hearing, with which cometh teaching.
  17 The fourth is the sense of smell, with which tastes are given to draw air and breath.
  18 The fifth is the power of speech, with which cometh knowledge.
  19 The sixth is the sense of taste, with which cometh the eating of meats and drinks; and by it strength is produced, for in food is the foundation of strength.
  20 The seventh is the power of procreation and sexual intercourse, with which through love of pleasure sins enter in.
  21 Wherefore it is the last in order of creation, and the first in that of youth, because it is filled with ignorance, and leadeth the youth as a blind man to a pit, and as a beast to a precipice.
  22 Besides all these there is an eighth  ruaḥ of sleep, with which is brought about the trance of nature and of death.
  23 With these Ruaḥoth are mingled the spirits of error.
  24 First, the spirit of fornication is seated in the nature and in the senses;
  25 The second, the spirit of insatiableness in the belly;
  26 The third, the spirit of fighting, in the liver and gall.
  27 The fourth is the spirit of obsequiousness and chicanery, that through officious attention one may be fair in seeming.
  28 The fifth is the spirit of pride, that one may be boastful and arrogant.
  29 The sixth is the spirit of lying, in perdition and jealousy to practise deceits, and concealments from kindred and friends.
  30 The seventh is the spirit of injustice, with which are thefts and acts of rapacity, that a man may fulfill the desire of his heart; for injustice worketh together with the other spirits by the taking of gifts.
  31 And with all these the spirit of sleep is joined which is that of error and fantasy.
  32 And so perisheth every young man, darkening his mind from the truth, and not understanding the Torah of Elohim, nor obeying the admonitions of his fathers, as befell me also in my youth.
  33 And now, my children, love the truth, and it will preserve you: hear ye the words of Re’uḇĕn your father.

All of the above mentioned spirits can work with you, or against you. Mosheh put it this way in Deuteronomy 11:26-28:

• Deuteronomy 11:26-28
• 26 ‘See, I am putting before you today a beraḵah and a curse:
• 27 the beraḵah, when you obey the Commands of Yahuah your Elohim which I command you today;
• 28 and the curse, if you do not obey the Commands of Yahuah your Elohim, but turn aside from the Way which I command you today, to go after other mighty ones which you have not known.

And Mosheh gives further details as we go to Deuteronomy 30:19

• Deuteronomy 30:19
• 19 “I have called the shamayim and the earth as witnesses today against you: I have put before you ḥai and death, the beraḵah and the curse. Therefore you shall choose ḥai, so that you live, both you and your seed,

Each and Every one of us has a choice. We can keep the commands of Yah and Live, or we can put aside the commands of Yah and perish. Choose this day who you will serve.

I hope this has helped you to understand the differences between Spirit, Body, or Soul, and With this knowledge under our belts, We charge you to go out and Help our Loved ones, by telling them the truth concerning the spirit, and the body, or soul., by giving True Interpretations to the gift of Scripture, that has been given to us by our Maker, Yah, that we love so very much. Praising Yahuah Elohim, and Yahusha, our High Priest and Messiah.

On The First Day Of The Week , Word Study!

Shalom and welcome to Ask Seek and Knock Word Study. Today’s Study is based on the phrase: On The First Day Of The Week. Let’s go to the first scripture. Acts 20:7,

• And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
  
  Acts 20:7 [KJV]

Christians have told me that this verse is why the Christians in all churches keep a Sunday Sabbath. Is this really what this scripture is telling us? Does Acts 20:7 Really say “And upon the first day of the week”? Let’s find out by looking up the word, "Week" in the Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance:

• Strongs: G4521

• 4521 σάββατον [SA/BBATON] {sábbaton} \sab'-bat-on\

• of Hebrew origin (07676); the Sabbath (i.e. Shabbath), or day of weekly repose from secular avocations (also the observance or institution itself); by extension, a se'nnight, i.e. the interval between two Sabbaths; likewise the plural in all the above applications:--sabbath (day), week.

Alright, it is clear even with the Strong’s Concordance, that "Week", really means Sabbath. I know there are those in other circles that say "I am aware of that" and just ignore the facts and go with what is written in their KJV Bible, but the facts are just that, facts. You have been lied to, and Acts 20:7 should really read like it does here in the Yah Scriptures:

• Acts 20:7 [Yah Scriptures]

• 7 And on one of the shabbathoth, the talmidim having gathered together to break bread, Sha’ul, intending to depart the next day, was reasoning with them and was extending the Word till midnight.

The “Yah Scriptures” has this one right. We have a study for Acts 20:7 here. With just a little bit of study, you can find some really bad blunders, and correct them, Just like 1 Enoch 104 tells us we should.

1 Enoch 104:10-13

• 10 And now I know this mystery, that sinners will change and pervert the Words of righteousness in many ways, and will speak wicked words, and lie, and practice great deceits, and write books concerning their words.

• 11 But when they write down truthfully all my words in their languages, and do not change or diminish ought from my words but write them all down truthfully - all that I first witnessed concerning them.

• 12 Then, I know another mystery, that books will be given to the righteous and the wise to become a cause of joy and uprightness and much wisdom.

• 13 “And to them shall the books be given, and they shall believe in them and rejoice over them, and then all the righteous who have learned from them - all the paths of uprightness - shall be recompensed.”

We believe at this time, that the books that will be given out that have no lies in them, will be during the millennial reign of our Messiah. Let’s move on to the next scripture. I Corinthians 16:2:

 

• I Corinthians 16:2

• 2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

Let’s break this down to see if this is the case. Lets go ahead and break down two words that actually have Strong’s Numbers on them; looking at the phrase “Upon the first day of the week”. Let’s start with the word “first”, and while we are at it, lets look at how the Strong’s numbers are laid out in 1 Corinthians 16:2.

 

• 
  

• [first]

• [*StrongsRealGreek*]

• 1520 εἷς [EI(=S] {heîs} \hice\

• (including the neuter (etc.) hen); a primary numeral; one:--a(-n, -ny, certain), + abundantly, man, one (another), only, other, some. See also 1527, 3367, 3391, 3762.

• first = one

Now let’s take a look at the word “Week”.

• [week]

• [*StrongsRealGreek*]

• 4521 σάββατον [SA/BBATON] {sábbaton} \sab'-bat-on\

• of Hebrew origin (07676); the Sabbath (i.e. Shabbath), or day of weekly repose from secular avocations (also the observance or institution itself); by extension, a se'nnight, i.e. the interval between two Sabbaths; likewise the plural in all the above applications:--sabbath (day), week.

• Week = Sabbath

This is how 1 Corinthians 16:2 should be phrased:

• I Corinthians 16:2:

• Upon one sabbath day let every one of you lay by him in store, as Elohim hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

This phrase actually tells us upon one sabbath, and not on the first day of the week. Lets look at another one. This one is very important and should not be ignored. John 20:1.

• John 20:1:

• The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

Is this really what John 20:1 is telling us? Lets find out.

We are going to look at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, Strong’s Numbers.

 

 

 

 

• [the]

• [*StrongsRealGreek*]

• 1161 δέ [DE/] {dé} \deh\

• a primary particle (adversative or continuative); but, and, etc.:--also, and, but, moreover, now (often unexpressed in English).

• the = also

Next we will look at the word “first”.

• [first]

• [*StrongsRealGreek*]

• 1520 εἷς [EI(=S] {heîs} \hice\

• (including the neuter (etc.) hen); a primary numeral; one:--a(-n, -ny, certain), + abundantly, man, one (another), only, other, some. See also 1527, 3367, 3391, 3762.

• first = one

and the next word is again, “week”.

• [week]

• [*StrongsRealGreek*]

• 4521 σάββατον [SA/BBATON] {sábbaton} \sab'-bat-on\

• of Hebrew origin (07676); the Sabbath (i.e. Shabbath), or day of weekly repose from secular avocations (also the observance or institution itself); by extension, a se'nnight, i.e. the interval between two Sabbaths; likewise the plural in all the above applications:--sabbath (day), week.

• week = sabbath

John 20:1, can read like this;

• John 20:1:

• Also one certain sabbath day cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

There are several ways this phrase can be worded, but it was for sure somewhere in the Sabbath. Just look at the Jubilee 2000 version.

•  John 20:1
• The first of the sabbaths, Mary Magdalene came early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre and saw the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

This is much more understandable. Lets move to the next scripture. Lets move to a scripture that most churches proclaim is a sunday or the first day.

• Revelation of John 1:10:

• I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

I ask is this talking about the first day of the week? Is it? Lets find out what Yah’s Day is by going to Exodus 20:8-11

• Exodus 20:8-11

• 8 “Remember the Shabbath day, to qadosh it.

• 9 “Six days you labour, and shall do all your work,

• 10 but the seventh day is a Shabbath of Yahuah your Elohim. You do not do any work - you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.

• 11 “For in six days Yahuah made the shamayim and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore Yahuah baraḵ the Shabbath day and qadosh it.

So, looking back at Revelation of John 1:10, is it saying that the first day of the week is the Sabbath? I don’t think so. This scripture is stating clearly that the 7^th day is the Sabbath or Yah’s Day. Yah Blessed this day and made it Holy. The Seventh Day. What else does Yah tell us about the 7^th day? Lets go to Exodus 31:12-17 to see exactly what the Sabbath is for us.

• Exodus 31:12-17

• 12 And Yahuah spoke to Mosheh, saying,

• 13 “And you, speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘My Shabbathoth you are to guard, by all means, for this is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, to know that I, Yahuah, qadosh you.

• 14 ‘And you shall guard the Shabbath, for it is qodesh to you. Everyone who profanes it shall certainly be put to death, for anyone who does work on it, that being shall be cut off from among his people.

• 15 ‘Six days work is done, and on the seventh is a Shabbath of rest, qodesh to Yahuah. Everyone doing work on the Shabbath day shall certainly be put to death.

• 16 ‘And the children of Yisra’ĕl shall guard the Shabbath, to perform the Shabbath throughout their generations as an everlasting Covenant.

• 17 ‘Between Me and the children of Yisra’ĕl it is a sign forever. For in six days Yahuah made the shamayim and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’ ”

Truly, this scripture is telling us that those that keep the Sabbath are Marked for Yah. So, what is “The Lord’s Day” or Yahuah’s Day? It Is The Sabbath. The 7^th day. There are many more scriptures that say the exact same thing, and I think you get the picture. Remember, don’t take my word for it, do your own research. Test it for yourself, You will be glad you did.

Fruits of the Spirit, Galations, Writings of Elijah, Dead Sea Scrolls, and More!

We would like to show you something interesting concerning the Fruits of the Spirit, that may be a surprise to you. We are talking, of course, about Galatians 5:17-23. Now concerning the apostle Paul, we believe Paul was well acquainted with the Dead Sea Scrolls, and we also believe that Paul indeed spent time with priests in Qumran, that were known as the Zadok Priestly line, which Left Jerusalem, because they refused to change from the Zadok, Enoch, Jubilees, Luminary calendar to the Lunar Solar calendar. There are those, even in well respected ministries in the Torah Movement that proclaim that the people in Qumran were Essene's, but recent archaeological evidence has indeed dispelled that theory with facts that prove that the residence of Qumran were actually, The Zadok Priestly Line. For more information on these facts, please read the archaeological book, titled, Qumran In Context, by Yizhar Hirschfeld.  

Additionally, there are those that proclaim that ALL Levitical priests went astray. Is this True? Not according to: Ezekiel 44:15-16, which states clearly:

• Ezekiel 44:15-16

• 15 “But the kohenim, the Lĕwites, the sons of Tsaḏoq, who guarded the duty of My Miqdash when the children of Yisra’ĕl went astray from Me, they shall draw near to Me to serve Me, and shall stand before Me to bring to Me the fat and the blood,” declares the Aḏon Yahuah.

• 16 “They shall enter My Miqdash, and they shall draw near to My table to serve Me, and they shall guard My charge.

Not only did the Zadok Priestly Line NOT go astray, they kept the charge of Yahuah and relocating to Qumran to continue the priestly order, when they had to leave Jerusalem because they refused to change to a corrupt lunisolar Calendar, which still exists to this day. The Zadok Calendar is a Luminary Calendar which means the Zadok calendar is a Sun, Moon, and Stars, Calendar. Don’t listen to those who proclaim the Zadok calendar to be a Sun Worship calendar. Those proclaiming such atrocities, are simply unstudied concerning the the truth of the Zadok Calendar. Please do Yah a favor, and Study to be approved.

Now, concerning this study, we will present not only Paul’s version of the Fruits of the Spirit, which implies that there is another version. Therefore, we will also show just exactly where Paul obtained information concerning the fruits of the spirit. With this in mind, lets get into the study by reading: Galatians 5:17-23:

• Galatians 5:17-23

• 17 For the flesh lusts against the Ruaḥ, and the Ruaḥ against the flesh. And these are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you desire to do.

• 18 But if you are led by the Ruaḥ, you are not under Torah.

• 19 And the works of the flesh are well-known, which are: adultery, whoring, uncleanness, indecency,

• 20 idolatry, drug sorcery, hatred, quarrels, jealousies, fits of rage, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions,

• 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, wild parties, and the like - of which I forewarn you, even as I also said before, that those who practise such as these shall not inherit the reign of Elohim.

• 22 But the fruit of the Ruaḥ is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustworthiness,

• 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no Torah.

Please pay attention to the last statement, " Against Such There Is No Torah" Statement, which only the wise seem to be able to understand. We all see here that there are bad fruits and there are good fruits. As we reflect on our own lives, we can see exactly where each of us stands with our Elohim. Now lets get to the Writings of Elijah 11:1 through 12:5, to get a major surprise. That being, Just Exactly Where Paul Got his Information concerning the Fruits of the Spirit. Lets read on.

• WRITINGS OF ĔLIYAHU 11:1-12:5

• 11:1 These are the fruits of the Elohim of the Ruaḥoth: enlightenment whereby a man can perceive the Ways of Elohim to walk therein, discernment to know the good from the evil, reverence for the Name of Yahuah and consciousness of the approaching judgments of Elohim, humility, patience, abundant charity, love of righteousness, vision, wisdom, trust, faith, confidence in the power of the Almighty Elohim, knowledge, self-mastery, sanctity, pure thoughts, abounding love for all who follow the truth, purity, modesty and the ability to hide within oneself the secrets of Elohim which one has received.

• 2 All these things come unto men in this world through communion with the Ruaḥ of truth.

• 3 All those who walk in that path which is set before them by the Ruaḥ of truth shall receive health in their navel and marrow to their bones and shall find wisdom and hidden treasures of knowledge.

• 4 These shall inherit eternal lives, even the continuation of the seeds forever and ever, worlds without end.

• 5 Eternal shall be their bireḵoth and everlasting their joy in the realms of glory, for they shall be crowned with light and robed in glory and shall dwell in everlasting burnings in the presence of our Elohim.

• 12:1 With the wicked it is not so, for the fruits of wickedness are greed, malice, falsehood, pride, presumption, deception, guile, insolence, unrighteous anger, folly, arrogance, lewdness, unchastity, blasphemies, selfishness, blindness of the eyes, deafness of the ears, stiffness of neck and hardness of heart.

• 2 Such men walk entirely in the ways of darkness and all their works are evil and abominable in the eyes of Elohim.

• 3 Those who walk in the paths of evil shall receive a multitude of afflictions at the hands of the qodesh messengers.

• 4 These are the sons of Perdition who are subject to the wrath of Elohim through all eternity.

• 5 Eternal horror is their end and perpetual reproach, even the disgrace of final annihilation in the fire, for they shall dwell in outer darkness until their end which

• is extinction without remnant or survival and after this, their lot no man knoweth nor is it revealed to any man save those who are made partakers thereof.

Alright, now, let’s discuss where the Book of Elijah gets a witness. That’s right, a witness. That being, The Dead Sea Scrolls. Let’s take a look at “A New Translation” by: Wise Abegg and Cook, Page 120, Titled: “Charter of a Jewish Sectarian Association”, also known as “The Community Rule”.

• CHARTER OF A JEWISH SECTARIAN ASSOCIATION, page 120, “A New Translation” Dead Sea Scrolls by: Wise Abegg and cook. 1QS, 4Q255-264a, 5Q11, Col. 3:21- Col. 4:5

• 21 The authority of the Angel of Darkness further extends to the

• 22 corruption of all the righteous. All their sins, iniquities, shameful and rebellious deeds are at his prompting,

• 23 a situation God in His mysteries allows to continue until His era dawns. Moreover, all the afflictions of the righteous, and

• 24 every trial in its season, occur because of this Angel's diabolic rule. All the spirits allied with him share but a single resolve: to cause the Sons of Light to stumble. Yet the God of Israel (and the Angel of His Truth) assist all

• 25 the Sons of Light. It is actually He who created the spirits of light and darkness, making them the cornerstone of every deed, their impulses the premise of every action. God's love for one spirit

• Col. 4:1 lasts forever. He will be pleased with its actions for always. The counsel of the other, however, He abhors, hating its every impulse for all time.

• 2 Upon earth their operations are these: one enlightens a man's mind, making straight before him the paths of true righteousness and causing his heart

• 3 to fear the laws of God. This spirit engenders humility, patience, abundant compassion, perpetual goodness, insight, understanding, and powerful wisdom resonating to each

• 4 of God's deeds, sustained by His constant faithfulness. It engenders a spirit knowledgeable in every plan of action, zealous for the laws of righteousness, holy

• 5 in its thoughts, and steadfast in purpose. This spirit encourages plenteous compassion upon all who hold fast to truth, and glorious purity combined with visceral hatred of impurity in its every guise. It results in humble deportment

• 6 allied with a general discernment, concealing the truth, that is, the mysteries of knowledge. To these ends is the earthly counsel of the spirit to those whose nature yearns for truth. Through a gracious visitation all who walk in this spirit will know

• 7 healing, bountiful peace, long life, and multiple progeny, followed by eternal blessings and perpetual joy through life everlasting. They will receive a

• 8 crown of glory with a robe of honor, resplendent forever and ever.

• 9 The operations of the spirit of falsehood result in greed, neglect of righteous deeds, wickedness, lying, pride and haughtiness, cruel deceit and fraud,

• 10 massive hypocrisy, a want of self-control and abundant foolishness, a zeal for arrogance, abominable deeds fashioned by whorish desire, lechery in its filthy manifestation, a reviling

• 11 tongue, blind eyes, deaf ears, stiff neck, and hard heart to the end of walking in all the ways of darkness and evil cunning. The judgment

• 12 of all who walk in such ways will be multiple afflictions at the hand of all the angels of perdition, everlasting damnation in the wrath

• 13 of God's furious vengeance, never-ending terror and reproach for all eternity, with a shameful extinction in the fire of Hell's outer darkness. For all their eras, generation by generation, they will know doleful sorrow, bitter

• 14 evil, and dark happenstance, until their utter destruction with neither remnant nor rescue.

After reading this entry in the “Community Rule”, or “Charter of a Jewish Sectarian Association”, it, again, becomes evident that the Apostle Paul, was well acquainted with the “Writings of Elijah”. Not only that, but the “Community Rule” and the “Writings of Elijah”, also known as “Order of the Ancients”, are actually, one and the same. I actually learned this from Tina Black’s, Fight For Truth, Community Rule, Part 1, and Community Rule, Part 2. There is even more, Since we see a clear link to the Writings of Elijah and the Community Rule, and the writings of Paul (Fruits of the Spirit), Lets continue with this study by adding another likeness, that being, the Likeness between the Writings of Elijah 17 & Matthew 18:15-20, to show that Matthew was also very much aware of the Writings of Elijah, and like Paul, Matthew was also aware of the Zadok Priestly Line which resided in Qumran. 

With that being said, lets begin this next segment with the "Writings of Elijah, or ĔLIYAHU", chapter 17 which is also known as "The Order of the Ancients", and is found in the book,

"A New Translation", Dead Sea Scrolls by: Wise, Abegg and Cook. In this book, it is known as, "Charter of a Jewish Sectarian Association", or "The Community Rule", in other versions of the DSS. lets compare the "Writings of Elijah, or ĔLIYAHU" Chapter 17, with Matthew 18:15-20. What we aim to understand here is this: Matthew obtained this information in Matthew 18:15-20, from "The Writings of Elijah, which further validates the Dead Sea Scrolls. Lets get started with "The Writings of Elijah", Chapter 17.

• The Writings of Elijah, Chapter 17 [Yah Scriptures]
• 17 : 1 When any member of the community has been offended by another or observes another in wrongdoing, he is not to come against that erring one with a railing accusation, but is to approach him truthfully, humbly and humanely.
• 17 : 2 A qodesh person of Elohim must not bear hatred in his heart toward his brother.
• 17 : 3 If the offender will not hear his complaint, then he is to take with him two of the teachers to reason with him.
• 17 : 4 If the offender will not hear them, then he is to be called before the Kohĕn ha’Gadol and his brethren who are set as judges in Yisra’ĕl.
• 17 : 5 This will all disputations be settled in order, without anger or emotion, that peace and harmony and unity may be preserved in Yisra’ĕl.
• 17 : 6 Furthermore, no man is to bring a charge publicly against his brother except he prove it by witnesses, for in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every charge be established.

Those of you that are familiar with Matthew 18:15-20, probably have bells and whistles going off in your head right now, because you already know where this is going with this short study. Lets go ahead and add Matthew 18:15-20 to the mix.

• Matthew 18:15-20 [Yah Scriptures]
• 15 “And if your brother sins against you, go and reprove him, between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.
• 16 “But if he does not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word might be established.’
• 17 “And if he refuses to hear them, say it to the assembly. And if he refuses even to hear the assembly, let him be to you like a gentile and a tax collector.
• 18 “Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be having been bound in the shamayim, and whatever you loosen on earth shall be having been loosened in the shamayim.
• 19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning any matter that they ask, it shall be done for them by My Father in the shamayim.
• 20 “For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there I am in their midst.”

It is our belief at this time, that Matthew was influenced by the writings of Elijah, which is evidenced by the very same writings found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, "Charter of a Jewish Sectarian Association". Matthew, the Tax Collector, was very much acquainted with the scrolls that ended up in the caves in Qumran. The thing to remember concerning the Dead Sea Scrolls is, Much of it is missing, however, even with that being said, I see hints of this scripture within the "Charter of a Jewish Sectarian Association", in the Dead Sea Scrolls, right here on Page 124 of "A New Translation" DSS.

• Page 124 of "A New Translation" DSS "Charter of a Jewish Sectarian Association"
• Each man is to reprove 25 his fellow in truth, humility and loving-kindness. He should not speak to him in anger, with grumbling, 26 with a [stiff] neck or with a wickedly  zealous] spirit. He must not hate him because of his own [uncircumcised] heart. Most assuredly he is to rebuke him on the day of the infraction so that he does not Col. 6 Continue in sin. Also, no man is to bring a charge against his fellow before the general membership unless he has previously rebuked that man before witnesses.

The similarities are very clear, and this cannot be ignored. The Writings of Elijah 17, Matthew 18:15-20 and the "Charter of a Jewish Sectarian Association", page 124, agree. That's our take on it. We hope you enjoy this blog.
