Who’s Changing the TRUTH Now?

Ha-Satan

22-23 – Professing to be wise, they became foolish and CHANGED the glory of the incorruptible Elohim into the likeness of an image of a corruptible man,….

25: Who changed the truth of Elohim into a lie …

Romans 1:22-23, 25 (HRB)

And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent being called the devil and Ha-Satan; he DECEIVING THE WHOLE INHABITABLE WORLD, was cast out onto the earth, and his MESSENGERS we’re cast out with him.

Revelation 12:9 (HRB)

Revelations 12:9 portrays the father of lies (John 8:44), Ha-Satan, as a master of deception. His deceptive influence has and will continue to span across the WHOLE INHABITABLE WORLD. This warning should serve as a powerful reminder for us to remain vigilant, acknowledging that Ha-satan’s lies, strategies, and deceptive tactics can easily entrap us. If you don’t think you are susceptible, consider how many individuals have already fallen prey to the subtle deceptions he’s produced through mass media concerning Money, Sex, and Power.

Ha-satan’s deceptions teach:

• Money will satisfy your wants and needs and give you power, security, and happiness.
• Sex equals love, lasting pleasure, power, and commitment. As well as sex is NOT spiritual or gender specific.
• Power is to be obtained by any means necessary. Obtaining supremacy, possessing everything, hoarding, dominating, and conquering is natural. Wanting to be more, have more, and know more makes us human.

𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 teaches

• Money is a tool that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 allows or gives us the ability to obtain wealth. It is not by your power or might that you acquire wealth (Deuteronomy 8:17-20). For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul (Mark 8:36)?
• Sex bonds or shackles people together with deep connections that are physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. If this person is not your spouse, these are dangerous connections that are not easily broken. Sex is also the covenant maker between a husband (man) and a wife (woman). On the wedding day or night, the virgin male enters into his virgin wife, breaking her hymen, which releases blood, bringing them into a blood covenant agreement. This blood covenant seals the words or vows they spoke to each other. Sex is to be enjoyed by married couples (man and woman).
• Power should be exercised responsibly and not as an absolute authority over others. We are to be content with what power 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 gives us and what power he will add to us in His timing. We shouldn’t be like Adam and Eve, who had access to every pleasure and necessity for a blessed life and complete authority and dominion over the Earth. However, they wanted more; they wanted Power; they wanted to be Elohim (gods).

Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour.

1 Peter 5:8 (HRB)

In this and all Food for Thoughts I recommend you read the Scripture(s) provided and the entire chapter they are from to obtain more insight.

I charge you today not to underestimate Ha-satan and his deceptions. He is a created being who has walked the Earth since the beginning and knows man’s nature very well. Ha-satan searches for people to devour (1 Peter 5:8) and sift like wheat (Luke 22:31). This evil creature can also disguise himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). He is not to be played with or taken lightly.

Illusion of Truth or the Illusory Truth Effect

Today, let’s discuss one of the most, if not the most, successful tactics Ha-Satan deploys. It’s called the illusion of truth or the illusory truth effect, and it happens when we repeatedly hear the same deception or false information and come to believe it is true. Ha-satan’s illusory truth works almost flawlessly since he controls most, if not all, mass media (television, radio, newspapers, magazines, social media, digital media, the internet, church pulpits, etc.) which has significant influence over people.

The illusory truth, which is a lie, becomes the truth, so much so that we become delusional, defend the lies, and start spreading the lie or dece as truth. A simple secular example would be how parents, TV shows, movies, schools, and some churches convince children with lies that Santa Claus, his Elves, and Rudolph the-red-nose reindeer are real. Or how about a tough one like Christopher Columbus was a hero who discovered the Americas and deserved national and federal holidays to honor his contributions and achievements. But factually, he was a cowardice villain who enslaved many native people in the Americas and Carabieene and treated them with extreme violence and brutality.

Our Leaders

Our leaders, parents, teachers, pastors, ministers, and the like have been under the illusion of truth about many Bible truths through different philosophies and theologies repeatedly taught. These unbiblical illusionary truths have been handed down through time and have become the traditions of man. These lies have become so powerful that they seem almost unbreakable. Like the following lies about the Shabbath:

• The Sabbath is on the first day, Sunday vs. Saturday the 7th day (Gen 2:2-3, Exo 20:8-11)
• The Sabbath can be whatever day you want (Gen 2:2-3, Exo 20:8-11)
• 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 Messiah (Yahshua or Yahusha) abolished the Sabbath (Matthew 5:17)
• The Sabbath was changed to Sunday because 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 was resurrected on Sunday (Matthew 28:1). 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 was raised on Sabbath night.

These lies and many others have been repeated repeatedly from church pulpits and repeatedly propagandized by other forms of mass media. If you search your Bible, you will not find Sunday worship or a single scripture commanding the Sabbath changed to Sunday. But you will find the 7th day Sabbath repeated multiple times and kept by Yahshar’el (Israelites) and believers. Simple research will uncover the deception that Rome and the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) made these changes.

Roman Empire and Roman Catholic Church Edict

– In A.D. 135, at the end of the Yahudim (Jewish) rebellion against Roman domination, the emperor Hadrian passed laws forbidding circumcision, THE KEEPING OF THE SABBATH, and the study or teaching of the Torah.

– In A.D. 321, Emperor Constantine decreed, “On the venerable day of the Sun, let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed.”

– In A.D. 364, The Council of Laodicea decreed, Canon XXIX (59), “Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honouring the Lord’s Day; and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be judaizers, let them be anathema from Christ.”

Over the years, Rome made laws favorable to Sunday and outlawed the Sabbath, instituting hatred and persecution toward Sabbath observers. Eventually, the Pope changed the Sabbath for Christians from the 7th day to the 1st day. The Roman Empire was similar to today’s USA in that it had dominant military, economic, and political power (“superpower“), and the RCC was its religious arm. Their influence across the known world at that time was immense, and the effects are still present today as the Catholic Church has the most significant Christian grouping worldwide, currently sitting at 1.390 billion believers worldwide.

Even if you don’t believe the facts presented or the many other researchable facts not presented, look in your Bible for the answers.

• 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 Messiah (Yahshua or Yahusha) Himself observed the Sabbath (Luke 4:16, 4:31)
• After 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏’s death, the Sabbath was still observed by the Early Church, disciples, and Apostles (Acts 20:7)
• Paul observed the Sabbath as well. (Acts 17:2, 13:42, 13:44, 20:7)
• 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 gave a warning about the end times, and the Sabbath was still being observed (Matt 24:20).

A Hebrew Faith, Not a Deception Faith

The faith we believe in is Hebrew, not Roman, Greek, American, or a Satanic deception. The Bible never tells Hebrews or believers to worship on the 1st day instead of the 7th. Abandoning the 7th day Sabbath for Sunday worship is a deception sent by Ha’satan to have us violate the 4th commandment (Exodus 20:8). Yahshar’el once abandoned the Sabbath, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 was not pleased and punished the nation severely for its sins (Ezekiel 20:12-26). Abba 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has not changed His mind, Ha-satan has changed the minds of humanity through illusory truth.

It is interesting how a Hebrew faith was taken, flipped, and made into something foreign by Gentiles (Greeks, Romans, and now European scholars). We humans nor Ha-satan have the authority to change Scripture, the laws of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, or redefine what sin is. The Word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 defines sin in 1 John 3:4 and Romans 7:7. If we could decide for ourselves when and how the Sabbath should be kept, then that means we could define sin for ourselves as well. The Sabbath is commanded by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, not man and not Ha’satan.

We have been under illusions for quite some time, and it is time to start studying the Bible, fasting, and praying so that we can begin to release the shackles of this bondage. We can no longer sit on the sideline of life, hoping that the preacher, politician, scholar, or whoever will provide us with the truth. Wakeup or 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 will allow you to start believing the lie and or turn you over to a vain or depraved mind (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12, Romans 1:28)!!!

. . . because they did not receive the love of the truth in order for them to be saved. And because of this, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 will send to them a working of deception, for them to believe the lie, that those not believing in the truth, but who have delighted in unrighteousness all may be damned.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 (HRB)

And as they did not determine within themselves to know Elohim,YAHWEH has given them over to a vain mind; that they might do what they ought not

Romans 1:28 (HRB)

Conclusion

I repeat these words to you again.

I charge you today not to underestimate Ha-satan. He is a created being who has walked the Earth since the beginning of humanity and knows man’s nature very well. Ha-satan searches for people to devour (1 Peter 5:8) and sift like wheat (Luke 22:31). This evil creature can also disguise himself as an angel of light (2 Cor: 11:14). He is not to be played with or taken lightly. Do not be deceived.

Satan’s Illusions and Deceptions Cause Confusion

Hêlēl (Satan) has been at work for many millenniums, planting traps and deceptions along with deceptive influences all around the Earth. Some of his deceptions are plain to see, while others are elaborate illusions, and still others remain hidden or imperceptible. As Bible Believing Believers (BBB) or Qedoshim (set apart ones), it is our duty and responsibility to expose the darkness of the Devil and his army at every opportunity. Our aim should be to draw the lost sheep of Yahshar’el and those destined to be grafted into Yahshar’el to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s TRUTH.

As the Kingdom of Heaven draws nearer, Satan’s agenda in the unseen war has significantly intensified. 2 Corinthians 4:4 indicates that Satan is the g-o-d of this world, which means he is the primary influence on the beliefs, opinions, dreams, hopes, and views of the people in this world. You can see this in the sins and immorality of this world that seem to be contagious and spreading with no end in sight. Abba 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 would probably call the sin upon the Earth great as He did in Genesis 6:5 during the days of Noah.

Think about this:

• How is it that there are over 45,000 different denominations or sects of Christianity globally and multiple sects of Judaism all doing their own thing? (Satan’s illusions and deceptions)

• Shouldn’t believers all be in one accord following the will of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and the same Holy Scriptures, thus following the same commands, laws, feasts days, and precepts? (Satan’s illusions and deceptions)

• Do you find it strange that there are over 3,142 versions of the Bible? While many don’t see this as a problem because the alterations are generally minor. However slight the differences, they have the power to create whole new meanings and promote doctrines of demons. Other versions are not slight at all and promote varied theological approaches and meanings, distortions with personal idolatrous worldviews, errors, and the names of idols (God, Lord, Jesus, etc.), which goes against the third commandment. Is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 the Aurthore of confusion? 1 Corinthians 14:33 (Satan’s illusions and deceptions)

• Has the Devil infiltrated Christianity and Judaism, or is he the creator of them like he is with the other religions of the World, or is this part of the strong delusion or deception sent by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12)? Is there any wonder why 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 will tell many people He NEVER knew them? (Matthew 7:21-23)”

10. and in all deceit of unrighteousness in those who will perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth in order for them to be saved.

11. And because of this, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 will send to them a working of deception (strong delusion), for them to believe the lie,

12. that those not believing in the TRUTH, but who have delighted in unrighteousness all may be damned.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 (HRB)

Tipping Point of Destruction

So, with the Prince of the Air, Satan, at the helm of our already corrupt civilizations, we have progressively increased in wickedness and depravity. Our communities are producing amoral people who believe right is wrong and wrong is right (Isaiah 5:20). Satan’s illusions, deceptions, and control have become overwhelmingly powerful in the political, religious, government, education, and entertainment systems of this world. We are at the tipping point of destruction.

The time is over in which we play religious games with the Word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and with His people. We can no longer sugarcoat, tippy-toe around, or walk about lying instead of telling 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s unfiltered TRUTH. And we cannot believe the same lies that our forefathers believed and passed down. Lies taught by the Father of Lies (Satan) and his children through theologies, philosophy, doctrines, and fake history.

We must step outside of the false Christian religion that believes half of the Bible was done away with and promotes lawlessness. Likewise, we must also step away from Judaism and any other religion that does not believe Yahusha was the Messiah. We are in 2024, and the TRUTH is available for those who seek it, have an ear to hear it, and have eyes to see it. It’s available for those willing to stop listening to doctrines, pick up the Bible, read it, and learn the ways of Abba 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.

23. But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in TRUTH. For the Father also seeks such, the ones worshiping Him.
24 Elohim is spirit, and the ones worshiping Him must worship in spirit and TRUTH.

John 4:23-24 (HRB)

What Should We Do?

In Ephesians 6:11-17 we are instructed to put on the whole armor of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 in order to firmly stand our ground and withstand the strategies of Satan. The first piece of armor Sha’ul (Paul) revealed in verse 14 was the belt of TRUTH. The belt of TRUTH is not mentioned first out of coincidence but out of purpose. The 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s TRUTH is central to everything a BBB does, lives, says, and believes. It is the very foundation 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 laid from the beginning of time, and it stands no matter who believes it or not and whether someone likes it or not.

To understand Sha’ul’s armor analogy, let’s examine the attire of the people of that era and the regions Yahshar’elites lived in. In ancient times, individuals wore long, sheet-like robes such as tunics, thawbs, or thobes as both clothing and protection against the scorching heat. These garments posed a significant challenge in times of combat, confrontation, or even heavy labor. The excess fabric of the long robe could severely restrict movement, rendering them slow, unsteady, and vulnerable to attacks and potential mishaps such as tripping or stumbling. Consequently, a quick and essential maneuver for a soldier would be to swiftly gather and secure the excess fabric, tightly fasten it, and tuck it into the belt. Girding up would free the soldier and prepare him for immediate action.

And this is everlasting life, that they may know You, the Elohim of TRUTH, and Yahusha Messiah, whom You have sent.

John 17:3-6 (HRB)

The Effects of Missing TRUTH

Suppose we as BBBs refuse to gird up ourselves with 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s TRUTH. In that case, we are inviting a multitude of consequential problems into our lives that will undoubtedly cost us our lives. Without the TRUTH, you will not be able to put on the rest of the armor, and therefore, the Devil will place you in bondage and enslave your mind until you are completely consumed. You can also look forward to never being free as John 8:32 teaches that it is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s TRUTH that sets us free. The very TRUTH that you refuse to accept.

Until you acknowledge the TRUTH, you will be stuck in a perpetual cycle of Proverbs 14:12 and 16:25: “There is a way that seems upright to a man, but the end of it is the ways of death.” I know this sounds grim, but this is the truth. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 does not have 45,000 different truths or ways of doing things. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever more. If you don’t accept the whole TRUTH, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 will give you over to a reprobate mind and/or keep you in the strong delusion that you should believe the lie. Romans 1:24-32 and 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

To have on the belt of TRUTH is to know 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s TRUTH and live it out daily. Having the belt of TRUTH fastened tightly now allows the other armor pieces to be put on. But it starts with the TRUTH. The majority of Christians are embarrassingly ignorant of the faith and have little Bible knowledge (TRUTH). Leaving them to be easily picked apart by Hêlēl (Satan), atheists, agnostics, or those who believe in false deities. Hence the explosion in Christians turning atheist and agnostic.

The Effects on the Children Missing TRUTH

According to Lifeway Research, “70% of youth stop attending church and start leaving when they graduate from high school.”

Christian-raised children grow up not fully understanding who 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is or who they are in Yahusha. Their understanding of the faith was poured or forced upon them with lies, half-truths, or a dumbed-down version of the gospel, leaving them empty with questions that rtheir parents nor pastor could answer or wanted to answer. In short, their faith, belief, salvation, etc., was not real to them because TRUTH was not taught.

They WERE NOT taught that the Bible is a REAL history book of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s chosen nation, the Hebrews, AKA Yahshar’elites (Israelites), not to be mistaken with Rev2:9s or Rev3:9s. Neither were they taught the feast days, but rather taught Christmas, Easter, Ash Wednesday, Halloween, etc., However, they were taught to focus on the New Testament and not the “done away with” Old Testament, not knowing that the Old Testament teaches the very nature and ways of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. They were never taught the name 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 or that the name of the Savior is Yahusha, NOT Jesus, because there was no letter “J.” The letter J was invented in 1524, which would also mean that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s name IS NOT Jehovah.

Being a BBB is not about attending a church or being sold out for Jesus, but about accepting Yahusha and living for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 by following His ways, precepts, and commands (Revelation 12:17). Christianity has completely stripped away the laws of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 by ignoring Torah, the prophets, and the words of Yahusha (Matthew 5:17).

Conclusion

We are losing Yahshar’elites and grafted in believers left and right because we are failing to put on the belt of TRUTH. We were taught many falsehoods that directly contradic Scripture, and we believed the deceptions and illusions. Unfortunately, and to a fault, we have NOT girded our loins with the belt of TRUTH, but have placed the belt of lies on and it is not able to hold up our tunics, let alone armor. Therefore we are restrained, slow, off balance, continuously tripping and falling and are unable to put on the rest of the whole armor of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. (Hosea 4:6) My people perish for the lack of knowledge. What good is having any of the other pieces if you don’t understand the TRUTH about them?

Questions

• What is the Helmet of Salvation if you don’t know the TRUTH about salvation, how or why we need it, who it comes from, how to get it, and how to hold on to it?
• What is the Breastplate of Righteousness if you don’t know what righteousness is?
• What is the Shield of Faith if you don’t know who or what to have Faith in and why?
• What is the Sword of the Spirit when you don’t know anything in the book and what you do know you don’t even know if it’s true? You don’t study it so you will never be able to rightly divide the word in TRUTH. (2 Timothy 2:15)
• What is the Boots of Peace if you don’t know the good news? In John 17 Yahusha prays to Abba 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and tells 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 that He has finished the work He was given. That work was to share the good news of everlasting life. But what was everlasting life? John 17:3-6 “And this is everlasting life, that they may know You, the Elohim of TRUTH, and Yahusha Messiah, whom You have sent. I have glorified You on the earth. I finished the work that You gave Me to do. And now Father, glorify Me with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the existence of the world. I revealed Your name to the men whom You gave to Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me; and they have kept Your Word.

We will discuss these and many of the falsehoods in the weeks ahead.
