I hope you had a good Feast of Sukkot. I have received both your text and Sherri's separate text since I've sent you the letters attached below. You both stated, you(Tommy) would get back to me. To date I still have not heard back from you. We spent the feast with several of our friends in Tennessee as you're aware. I purposely avoided talking much about this subject because I wanted to speak to you first. To be honest, I think most people that have concerns, have a hard time expressing concerns because they don't want to appear judgmental and or appear anti-semitic. I am publishing this as a public post in order to create an open discussion among our peers. The most critical issues at hand appears to be who and how is someone saved. As you're also aware, I believe we can't judge salvation of an individual person. However, we can determine how someone is saved from the Bible. Both of us in the past have stated that we believed that true salvation comes only by a person believing in the atoning blood of Yahshua Hamashiach and that there is no other saving grace. Salvation is in Him alone.
I also believe Yahuah is more powerful than we can understand. In his power he saved Paul of Tarsus. Also in that power he consumed Korah and all of his household who stood with him in the wilderness. He is the only one with the power to make alive and save. He is also the only one with the power to take a life. We created beings sometimes get the opinion that we have more power than we actually have. Even if a person throws us into a lion's den, One has the power to shut the mouths of the lions. We like Daniel and like Paul are a sweet savour to Elohim. We make manifest the savour of His knowledge everywhere we go. How are we a sweet savour?
2 Cor 2:14-17 Now thanks be to Elohim, which causeth us to triumph in Mashiach, and to make manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. For we are to Elohim a sweet savour of Mashiach, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of Elohim: but as of sincerity, but as of Elohim, in the sight of Elohim speak we in Mashiach.
Our job is not to judge salvation, our job is to speak life(truth) into the world. To the Jew first and also to the Gentiles. The word of truth speaks life to some and speaks death to others. The gospel or the good news is to be preached to the Jew first and then to the gentiles. Paul preached to the Jew first and then to the Gentiles after he found the message of Mashiach being refused and rejected by the religious leaders. Paul didn't mix words. He was bold in proclaiming the gospel.
Acts 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, it was necessary that the word of Elohim should first be spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the gentiles.
Why do we speak to both Jew and gentile? Because the fields are white in the world. There are both Jews and Gentiles who will receive the word of truth. Unfortunately, there are also those both Jew and gentile whom will not receive the word of truth. That is why we are to go tell the truth and let Yahuah do the work of Saving those that are His.
Ezekiel 34:11 For thus saith Yahuah Elohim, Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
John 10:26-27 But ye believed not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Tommy, I believe you have been placed in a position to tell the truth to a multitude of people. We both know that the gospel has been presented by some on a garbage can lid to the Jewish people. You and I have not done that. You and I won't do that. But that doesn't give us the right or reason not to present the gospel. We must be prepared to give an answer to the question, "what is the hope that is within us?" As you have experienced this year in the vineyards, the harvest is great. The vats are overflowing. The time is at hand. Don't waste that opportunity. Our Jewish brothers need to hear the truth. Will you wax bold in speaking the word of truth. Don't let fear stop you from proclaiming the truth. Let those that can hear, hear. Let those that cannot hear judge themselves unworthy of everlasting life. As I said before, the message of the gospel(good news) of Yahshua Hamashiach is not anti-semitic. This message is not death to any of His sheep. He will not lose one.
John 10:28-31 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are One. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Our job is to proclaim the gospel. Yahuah has always used broken and cracked pots, in other words, sinners. Just because we're broken does not give us the right to not speak the truth. We shouldn't condone the mistakes of the past. However, we shouldn't cloud the fact that all are broken(made mistakes) and in need of THE SAVIOUR!!
With Love to you and your family I beseech you to preach Salvation unto the Jews first and then unto the Gentiles

First Letter
Dated September 30, 2017
Dated September 30, 2017
Tommy,
I heard from Sherri after the Hurricane. Thanks for thinking about us. We are safe and in the States. We haven't been able to hear anything about our place yet, but we have heard from Jose and Edda, the Pastor at the little congregation in Mayaguez that they are safe. They said there was a lot of destruction in the area. Please continue to pray for those affected as it will be a long recovery.
I wanted you to know that we agree with your three statements at the end of the video.
1. We stand and support the return of the Jewish people to their land.
2. We affirm Elohim's choosing of the land of Israel and its restoration.
3. We recognize Elohim's choosing of the physical earthly Yerushalem.
I agree with your statement to me earlier, "We have to know our place in Yeshua... and stay there!!"
I also agree that we should be willing to confess our sins as well as the sins of our fathers in order to mend our relationships with Elohim and man. Psalm 133:1 "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!"
I confess to you and to all my brethren and ask forgiveness for all evil in word or deed done to you or to any of our brethren, or any of our fathers deeds or evil words spoken against any of our brethren's fathers. I understand that these sins are enormous and beyond words here or in any document that can be contained and read in a reasonable amount of time. Therefore, although it sounds generic and non sincere because of the generic nature, it is sincere and it is heart felt. My wish is that all of the children of Elohim could recognize each other for who they are, children of Elohim with faults like our own, and take the words of our Saviour and King to heart and apply "he who is without sin, let him cast the first stone." For if we could all do that, I believe He would be pleased with us.
It looks like you have stirred up a hornets nest with your video. I've seen some positive and negative comments on several sights that have addressed your video. As always, the anti-missionary group is saying you're still dangerous. That probably will never change, even if you were to convert to Judaism. As we have discussed before, it can get ugly for some converts. However, as you've also found out, there are some who will Love you even in your real and perceived differences and real and perceived sin. Please bear with me as I go over some points.
I know that you did not write the article or state any opinions that were voiced in the article except for the ones expressly announced in the video itself. However, there have been many things said by the writers and other respondents that I felt needed to be addressed. I know that you have been working with Malamed in order to keep the Hayovel organization from offending the Jewish people as much as so possible. I also believe that you were intent on displacing all replacement theology doctrines from the organization, of which as you already know, I would agree with those goals. Because the video was an essential part of both the article at Jpost and Breaking Israel news, I believe you will need to make some further clarification as to your stand so that there is no confusion from both sides of the fence. Sometimes it is best to stay silent. Sometimes it is best to speak. And if you speak, it must be the truth. Now that you have spoken, and all sides are questioning your beliefs, you need to clarify those beliefs. Even if it causes you harm and you lose friends and or supporters from either side of the fence.
One of the things that was said was that Paul of Tarsus was the first Missionary. The context seems to be that they thought Paul was the first person to come in and try and steal the identity of the Jewish people through the heresy of Yahshua the Messiah. Obviously I don't believe Paul was a follower of a false religion that tried to steal the identity of the Jewish people. His love for the Jewish people was so great that he risked all that he was in order to preach the good news to those who were lost. Knowing what the potential consequences were, as he was the instrument of the pharisees to punish, even unto death. See Acts 22:20 "and when the blood of the martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him."
Yahshua is not another religious leader who started another religion, and Paul of Tarsus was not a missionary teaching replacement theology as some would propose. They fought against false religion and man made doctrines! They both taught the Torah. They both taught the Love of Elohim. They both taught we cannot save ourselves. Yahshua and Paul taught that without the remission of sins through the blood of Messiah you shall die in your sins. John 8:24 "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I AM, ye shall die in your sins. Paul stated in Romans 9:3 "for I could wish that myself were accursed from Mashiach for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh." So you see, One died for the sins of Israel that they might be saved and the other loved his Jewish brethren so much he wished he could die for them. This is not a replacement theology. This is not a new religion. It is what all the Torah and the prophets foretold. Luke 16:31 "...if they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."
As you know very well, I don't want Jewish people to lose their identity in the Torah or the land of Israel. I am not a missionary trying to convert any Jewish person to any religion that would state that the Torah is not good. Matthew 5:19 "Whosover therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." As you also know from my previous time spent with you in the land of Israel and elsewhere, I don't think I can save anyone. I don't believe I can save, but I do believe I was commanded to make disciples. That's why I am pouring my life and what the spirit has given to me into teaching my children and my children's children. As you also know, I believe that I am commanded to be prepared to give an answer with meekness and fear as to why I have hope in me. See 1 Peter 3:15 Also see Romans 1:16 Notice that this passage says to the Jew first and also to the Hellenized.
Also a topic of concern in the threads across this video discussion is the depravity of man. What happens to good people who die without knowing Yahshua? Are we really all that bad and in need of a saviour, or is there something we can do ourselves or for that matter, not do ourselves, to bring us into or to retain presence with the living Elohim, the Creator of all things. Psalm 14:2-3 "Yahuah looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any that did understand, and seek Elohim. They have all gone aside. They have all become filthy. There is none that doeth good, no, not one." Jer 4:22 "For my people are foolish, they have not known me, they are sottish children, and they have no understanding; they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. There are so many other scriptures that address this topic it's not possible, without writing another book,to discuss what happens to good people who don't "know" or 'believe in" Yahshua.
Most of the time we get distracted with questions that really don't answer much. In reality they just cause more questions even if we answer them. There are root questions that answer many questions that are related. The real question here might should be, What does a deprived person need in order to be made right and put him in a position where he can enter into the presence of Elohim? Or can we say, how does a person who is unjustified become justified? Romans 3:22-24 addresses this question. " ...for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of Elohim...Therefore we conclude that man is justified by faith without the deeds of the Torah. Do we then make void the Torah through faith? Elohim forbid, yes we establish the Torah." Isaiah 45:23-25 "I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow and every tongue shall swear, Surely shall say, In Yahuah have I righteousness and strength. even to Him shall come and all who are incensed against Him shall be ashamed. In Yahuah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory." Galatians 5:4 "Mashiach has become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the Torah, ye are fallen from grace." Titus 3:5-8 "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and the renewing of the Ruach Hakodesh; Which he shed on us abundantly through Yahshua HaMashiach our Saviour; That being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in Elohim might be careful to maintain good works. These things are profitable unto men." If you are a child of the king you will do His good will. You will not only do His good will, you will teach others. Starting with the father of our faith, Abraham was faithful to teach his children and his children's children. Why would we do anything different than our father Abraham in this matter. He doesn't teach his children to be faithful to the commandments of Yahuah for salvation, but because he was saved, he taught his children to honor Yahuah in their words and deeds. Jeremiah 23:6 "In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is the name whereby he shall be called, YAHUAH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." Jeremiah 51:10 "Yahuah hath brought forth our righteousness; come and let us declare in Zion, the work of Yahuah our Elohim." 1 Peter 2:24 "who his own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."
There are lots of questions that would take many pages or should we say books for you or I or anyone else to discuss all of them. However, there seems to be a couple of root questions that would help Jews and Christians. It would also help those that believe they are both Jewish and believe in Yahshua (King of Kings, Mahishiach, and I AM), like myself, know where you stand. Then people can openly and honestly decide what their relationship should be with not just you, but with Hayovel, because it is an extension of your thoughts and beliefs. You know that I will always consider you a brother and a friend and only ask you to answer these questions because of the confusion. The discussion in relation to your video is causing many people to put words in your mouth that have not been spoken. It is causing people to sin, in that they are speaking words with "Lashon hara". Micah 2:7 "For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the Torah at his mouth: for he is the messenger of Yahuah of hosts." See also James 4:11
I believe you should answer these questions openly.
1. Who do you believe Yahshua is? Is Yahshua a man or is he Elohim? If you believe he is Elohim, is he Yahuah?
My answers is: Yahshua is Yahuah, Mariyah,(Lord),Elohim(God) King of Kings, Master, Creator of all things. 1Corinthian 12:3, Colossians 1:16, Jeremiah 23:9, Isaiah 43:1, Isaiah 43:3, Isaiah 45:5-7, Isaiah 45:23, Romans 14:11, Philippians 2:10, Revelation 19:16, Revelation 21:6
2. Can anyone, Jew or Gentile, be saved(be righteous) without the blood of Yahshua, confessing with their mouth "Master Yahshua" and believing in their heart that He was raised from the dead?
My answer is: You must believe that Yahshua Hamashiach is your Master and Saviour, confessing with your mouth unto Salvation, that there is no other saviour, and that without Yahshua our Yahuah(Yahuah our Yahshua) there is no hope and no Salvation. Isaiah 43:11, Isaiah 45:21, Hosea 13:4, John 8:24, Romans 10:9-10, Acts 2:21
I will plagiarize the words of John because they are applicable to this conversation so pointedly.
I have not written to you because you know not the truth but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Yahshua is the Mashiach? He is anti-anointed(antichrist), that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: but he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised unto us, even eternal life. These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teach you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. Even now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that everyone that doeth righteousness is born of Him. 1 John 2:21-29
You can and probably should, expound on these topics as much as possible with out getting too expansive.
Should you not be willing to answer these 2 basic questions, how can we expect to ever have an open discussion with Jews and Christians alike. You know that I believe all respect should be given to our brethren in the land and that we can show them our beliefs through our actions better than our words most of the time. Each man has his beliefs, but if we stop someone from voicing their opinion, all we do is make the foolish to look wise and the wise to look foolish. See Proverbs 13:16 Also see Acts 4:18
I'll part on a conversation I had with Moshe from the Shorashim shop in the old city. I'm paraphrasing so I won't put it in quotes. He said he's not offended by our trying to tell him about Yahshua("Jesus") because if we really loved him and really believed he needed to have some relationship with Him to be saved, we would talk to him about it. The real issue is, can we have that discussion with level heads and I'd like to add "meekness". So you see some orthodox Jews are not afraid of true love, even if it is shown in a misguided fashion. The Jewish anti-missionary groups are concerned that you are a lying deceitful "Christian" like other "Christians" they've dealt with. The longer you try and ride the fence and not tell both sides where you stand on some key issues the harder the fall. Hopefully, no matter which side of the fence you fall on the people on each side can say, At least he tells it like he believes and I don't have to worry about him lying to me. Whatever it costs us, our word needs to be faithful. John 15:13 "Greater love hath no man but this, that he lay down his life for his friends"
It breaks my heart that I have friends both Jewish and Christian who believe that they are good and that they can keep the Torah well enough to earn or retain salvation. It breaks my heart that some have joined the spirit of antimashiach. We have had many people throughout history that have given up everything in order to preach the good news. Paul of Tarsus not only said he wished he could die for his brothers in the flesh, but in Act 21:13 he said he was "...ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Master Yahshua." If we keep silent about who is our Saviour and our relationship with Him in order to pacify those whom we love, even the rocks will cry out "Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of Yahuah" Yahshua too wept over Jerusalem and the sins there of.
This letter is from me, however, I did let Paul and Gene read it before I sent it so that both of us would have some accountability before the body.
I realize you are very busy, but please get back with me as soon as possible.
May The Master Yahshua reign from Yerushalem here on earth as He rules in heaven, may he come quickly,
Sincerely,
Monty
Mark 10:48 May His mercy endure forever!
Second Letter
Dated October 3, 2017
Tommy,
I have not received a response from you about my previous letter sent to you(attached below) about the video you distributed, titled - Tommy Waller to fellow Christians: "Stop Stealing Jewish Identity".
Leviticus 19:17 "Thou shalt not hate your brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him."
It saddens me that I feel compelled to write this letter. There has been continual discussions about your video released to combat what some would call "replacement theology". Some of that discussion has gotten more disturbing to Christians and Messianic Believers whom hold to the doctrine of Salvation through the atoning sacrifice of Yahshua HaMashich, LORD of lords and KING of kings as the only way to be saved.
Being how you are unable to or unwilling to acknowledge this doctrine or for that matter unable or unwilling to disavow that doctrine, I am going to make my opinions on this matter public through releasing this letter as a public document. This will lend to an open conversation and debate on the matter. Zephaniah 3:13 "The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid." Galations 1:8-9 "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any one preach another gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." Why did he repeat this? He said to the Corinthians that those that preach some other gospel are "false prophets,deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ(Mashiach)". and that this is no wonder as Satan himself is "transformed into an angel light" Did they Stone Paul 3 times and give him 40 lashes 5 times because they agreed with him that if you have not the son you have not the father. No, the "boasting" of Yahshua and His ministry is the reason Paul suffered at the hands of the religious leaders of Israel. To turn the ministry of Yahshua to a sub-servant part of the Torah is to put the cart before the horse and think that you will get anywhere. To think that Paul risked life and limb suffering in bodily ways that we can't even fathom, to save his Jewish brethren who were already in covenant with Yahuah and were in no need of help, is a doctrine of demons.
Matthew 10:32-33 "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I also confess also before my father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in the heavens."
Tommy, I implore you to make a public stand for Yahshua the Mashiach and confess before men that he is Master(Adonai), Saviour, King of kings and LORD(Yahuah, YHVH). Make it clear whom you serve. Do you serve man or do you serve Yahuah? Do you love the Jewish people more than you love Yahshua? If you love the creation more than you love the Creator, you shall lose your life. I love my brethren in the Jewish faith, but I love Yahshua more. I love Yahshua more than father or mother. There is a war for our souls, and the plumb line is not love of the land, love of our parents, love of our fathers. We must Love our Father in heaven, Saviour of the world, Ruler of heaven and earth above ALL else.
Matthew 10:34-39 "Think not that I came to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. ...And he that taketh not his cross, and follow after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Jude verse 4-6 "For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our Elohim into lasciviousness, and denying the only Yahuah Elohim and our Master Yahshua Ha Mashiach. I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that Yahuah, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that beleived not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgement of the great day.
You need to make it clear whether you believe or not believe a man of any faith, religion, or ethnicity can be saved without believing in Yahshua as their Saviour and Rabbi. Make it clear as to whether you believe Yahshua is the only Rabbi.
Revelation 3:15 "I know that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would that thou wert cold or hot. So because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue you out of my mouth."
I know you say you are zealous over Zion and zealous for the land, but you can't truly be zealous over Zion without being zealous for Yahshua, The King of kings. Luke 9 25-26 "For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world(all the LAND), and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory. and in his Father's, and of the holy angels." We have differed in the past on how to be zealous, however, never before have you made statements, which could be implied that there is more than one way to be saved(that specifically being the blood of Yahshua). Your ambiguity on this matter and your failure to address my concerns and the concerns of others, both from a Jewish perspective and a Christian perspective leads me to the position that you are being used by the enemy to lead others astray. We both know there have been several people that have been influenced by your ministry and have now denied the Messiah as THE Saviour. Please make a bold statement, a zealous statement for the diety, sovereignty, and power to save of Yahushua HaMashiach.
Your statement that the video was not about salvation seems to be just another diversion. You appear to either know that Yahshua is the only One with the power to save and choose to not tell Jewish brethren what you believe, or you have deviated from your previous held belief, that Yahshua is the only One with the power to save and that all that reject Him as their saviour shall die in their sins, and hiding this new found belief from your Christian supporters. Both parties need to hear from your lips what you believe. I pray that you can say "OUR Elohim Yahushua HaMashiach, King over all the earth reigns". I pray that you can say "Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahuah". I pray you can say "Yahushua is Yahuah our righteousness". "who is a liar but he that denieth that Yahshua is the Annointed? He is the antimessiah that denieth the Father and the Son. You cannot change His words. You can speak His words faithfully or you can be ashamed of the gospel.
Tommy, I implore you to make a stand, do not remain silent. I pray you can speak the truth. I pray that you not be found a liar. I pray that you would not love anyone or anything so much that you would deny the one with the power to save. I pray you do not join yourself unto the enemy. I pray you will claim the One who has power to set you free. I pray you do not cause little ones to stumble. I pray you do not cause your children to stumble. I pray you do not cause your grandchildren to stumble. I am not talking about who in the past was saved and who wasn't saved. I'm talking to you about whether you'll stand with me and say "Our Elohim Reigns". Confess Him before men and He will be faithful and just to forgive your sins. Blessed is he whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Please tell the whole world who can cover sins! Please tell the world who can set them free! Please tell the world who can heal the sick! Please tell the world who can make us free indeed!
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
Please tell the whole world who is the ancient of days!
Please tell your children that there is no other way to be saved!
Please tell your children you believe all the words of Yahshua HaMashiach!
Please tell your children it is not a heresy to believe that you must confess that Yahshua came and died for the sins of the whole world, that he was raised from the dead and lives forever more.
Please tell your children that those that believe in Yahshua are called, chosen and faithful and those that deny him are not faithful and not chosen.
Please tell your children that you believe all the words of Yahshua.
Please tell your children that you believe that the New Testament is a true and accurate testimony of the Life of our Saviour.
Please tell your children that all the books of the New Testament are true and faithful testimonies of the words of Yahshua HaMashiach.
Your children and grandchildren, as well as all the other people that hold your opinion in high regard, need to hear you say, I am not ashamed of the gospel of Yahshua HaMashiach.
Strongs definition of the word 'offend' in Luke 17 is to cause a person to begin to distrust and to desert one whom he ought to trust and obey.
You either have to support every word spoken and confirm your belief in every word spoken by The Messiah Yahshua, or you have become an offense to your children and to all others that hear and see your testimony. I pray you will not be one who causes your children and your grandchildren to distrust the words spoken through the whole of scripture.
Luke 17:2 "it would be better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones."
May Yahshua reign on earth as He rules in the heavens, may His will be done on earth as it is in the heavens.

Psalm 136 "...His mercy endureth forever..."
I'll end this letter with the words of Satmar leader Whom they call "Rabbi" Joel Teitelbaum
he writes: "Because of our sinfulness we have suffered greatly, suffering as bitter as wormwood, worse than any Israel has known since it became a people.... In former times, whenever troubles befell Jacob, the matter was pondered and reasons sought–which sin had brought the troubles about–so that we could make amends and return to the Lord, may He be blessed.... But in our generation one need not look far for the sin responsible for our calamity.... The heretics have made all kinds of efforts to violate these oaths, to go up by force and to seize sovereignty and freedom by themselves, before the appointed time.... [They] have lured the majority of the Jewish people into awful heresy, the likes of which have not been seen since the world was created.... And so it is no wonder that the Lord has lashed out in anger.... And there were also righteous people who perished because of the iniquity of the sinners and corruptors, so great was the [divine] wrath."
