We pick up with the third (6) of the mysterious 666 . The third example is found in the rebellion of Korah, which is represented by those who deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ—those who are seduced by “ the boastful pride of life ” e.g., the lust for power and authority over the people. Those who follow in Korah’s rebellion want the power, the rule, the authority, and they want it now. T...

We have now come to the center piece of the text with the apostasies of Cain, Balaam, and Korah. The Spirit uses a triad of Old Testament examples of apostasy as a picture and a WARNING and as a sign which gives us insight into the meaning of the infamous and mysterious 666 –the number of the Beast.

In Jude 10 the Spirit is addressing those who had crept into the church and introduced perversions to the grace of God. The Spirit is warning that despite their seductive words, which tend to sound so right because they sound so “religious,” these people are led (and judged) by their instincts. As such, they are like wild or unreasoning animals. If they do not like or understand something, they wi...

The picture that is painted for us in the 5th through the 9th triad is tragic, and it sets up for us Jude 10 and 11 . All the judgments against the Israelites, the rebellious angels, Sodom and Gomorrah, and even the devil came from the direct hand of God.  We must understand how serious God is about the wrong belief and unbelief that leads to apostasy.  It does not matter who you are or...

We now come to 3 groups of triads (the 5th, 6th, and 7th triad). The Spirit begins with a sarcastic or jabbing comment, but His point is that they had already deviated from what they knew to be true. They had already set aside the truth and were walking on a dangerous and perilous pathway of wrong belief and unbelief that would lead to apostasy. They were teetering on becoming like the first gener...

Sadly, people cling to their religion despite its impotency for it does not result in their freedom from sin or in the peace and rest which they so desperately desire and which they are promised. Accordingly, they fight the truth or else they would have to admit they believe a lie. The Spirit is clear, all that matters is a faith which manifests itself in God’s agape love—a love that can only be p...

We all want mercy in that we do not want God to deal with us as we deserve. But what we do not tend to grasp is that God’s mercy demands that He do whatever it takes to remove all the obstacles of wrong belief and unbelief from our lives—to remove all obstacles that war against Him being our I AM in all things, all the time. Mercy is the means by which God attempts to free us from all that will le...

Jude addresses the culture that will be prevalent during the End Times – a culture that is even now rampant within the visible church (the place where all the action is centered). After all, it is from within the visible church that the platform is laid for the Beast to deceive those who are to otherwise know better. We will address the Who, What, Where, When and Why of this letter and jump into v...

Too many “believers” are trying to be friends with those in world (especially the world of religion) by sheepishly joining them in their darkness instead of drawing them into the light. And still others are trying to redefine relationships between those in the light and those in the darkness into some co-existent grey, just so they can get something that they think they need from those relationshi...

Jude and Revelation utilizes a unique Code that is communicated through colors, numbers, symbols, and images, all of which portray a deeper or alternate meaning than what we might otherwise conclude. The Codex that we will use to break the Code (or the key to understand the Code ) is found in the Old Testament and New Testament as they provide the prophetic framework for understanding both Jude an...

The Bible is written primarily to instruct those within the household of God. Extraordinarily little of its message is directed to those on the outside. Rather, Yahweh instructs those He has brought into His own household not to choose to live in unbelief, for the consequences of unbelief are dire. In Jude and Revelation , the commands, exhortations, requests, and pleas are for Yahweh’s children t...

Due to many of the religious fictions which abound in our day-and-age, it does not readily enter the believers’ worldview that Jude and Revelation speak directly, personally, to them. In large part, believers think it is addressed primarily to unbelievers (those in the world) or to those who have “obviously” gone apostate; but that is far from the truth. The messages of both Jude and Revelation di...

With Yahweh , everything is always personal, and that includes how He handles and deals with the name of the Father, which was also given by the Father to the Son. He values and cherishes this name, as it is His memorial name to all generations. Yahweh is the name by which we must come to know Him such that we call on His name. “ If we call on His name we will be saved, for there is much power in...

Yahweh Yasha , means that Yahweh Frees or Yahweh Saves . Yahweh Yasha releases the captives and sets free the oppressed. This specific name speaks to what He does in our lives, He frees us and saves us from ourselves, from our Old Sinful Nature (our flesh ), from all our attachments to this world, from our fear, and from everything in our lives that stands in opposition to His being our I AM . Dow...

Yahweh asks us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice , letting Him do what He needs to do and slay what He needs to slay to secure and stabilize us in Him as one of the chosen. All He wants is our willingness. “ Willingness ” is a free will offering. It is not a duty, compulsion, or obligation; rather, it is a relational reciprocation to the invitation He has extended for us to be transforme...

Yahweh Shalom . Yahweh is Peace. Peace is not so much a feeling as it is an aspect of Yahweh’s personhood that is personally experienced through the Design Point . In the same way that we are told that God is love, we now know that Yahweh is peace. Thus, to experience this peace, we need the one who is peace to be living in and through our lives. Peace is Yahweh. Therefore, those who are now belie...

All the angels, even the demonic nasty evil creatures (including Satan) work for Yahweh Sabaoth and they are ministering spirits, sent out to render service to those who will inherit salvation. They are servants to the children of God. And there is nothing those bad angels can do against a chosen one of God unless they first receive Yahweh Sabaoth’s permission to “minister” to a chosen one of God...

Yahweh Sabaoth (the Lord of Heaven’s Armies” or the “Lord of Hosts”) is the most used compound name referring to Yahweh . This name declares is that the good angels and the demonic angels (all the evil beings) work for Yahweh . They all do what He commands and are all subject to Him. This is consistent with what we have learned in our study of Yahweh Adonai , there are no rogue or free agents, jus...

The name Yahweh Jireh covers every aspect of our existence on this earth, both physical and spiritual. Yahweh Jireh will meet every need we have in terms of equipping us to complete all the work which the Father has assigned to us. He is our bread; He is our springs of water that never run dry; He is our life; our comfort; and He is our love. He is even the full provision for our fear, pride, and...

In the exodus journey out of Egypt, Yahweh confirmed a covenant with His people, and He stated, “for you shall not worship any other god, for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God .” Thus, He lets Moses, and the people, know that jealousy goes to the very fabric of His personhood, as it defines His name. Thus, in the same way that He knew Moses by name, He wanted Moses and all the people...

The “called” is a term that refers to all who are in the household of God. But the term “chosen” refers to the sons of God (those sons of promise in the manner of Isaac) and not to the slaves who live in His household (those sons of servitude in the manner of Ishmael). A chosen one of God has been called by Yahweh Mekoddishkem (as they are both the called and the chosen), however, being one who is...

According to Exodus 31 and Leviticus 20 if those who were called by Yahweh Mekoddishkem (made holy) rejected the Sabbath life, they would 1) get cut off from the people of God, and 2) be subject to the death penalty. And these same two consequences are applicable to our lives when we reject the Sabbath life. Download Transcript

Yahweh Mekoddishkem has selected people out from amongst the great sea of humanity to be His own—to be holy—much like He did with the nation of Israel. Why? Because that is what He does. No one earns it, no one deserves it; rather, like a dragnet that pulls in all manner of fish, Yahweh Mekoddishkem pulls in all manner of people into His household from all the nations, peoples, tongues, and tribes...

Yahweh Mekoddishkem — Yahweh who sanctifies, sets us apart, or declares us to be holy. This name declares a spiritual fact: those who bet their lives upon His name have been set apart from everything and everyone as belonging exclusively to God. They have become His personal possession. This is what it means to be made holy. To be holy does not mean to be without sin, or to behave in a certain pre...

To practically know Jesus by His name Yahweh Tsidkenu , we must be willing to come to grips with our absolute inability to be good, and by faith relinquish all our own attempts at finding favor, blessing, and right standing with God, and with other believers, though what we do. We must let go of all our “would have’s,” “could have’s,” and “should have’s” of our life, and never return to their lies...
