Above all else, this profile is dedicated to our Adon(Master) and Saviour, Yah'shua Ha'Nazaret {The correct Hebrew name for Jesus Of Nazareth}, the only begotten son of YHVH (G-D); the Mashiach (Messiah).
I feel it is imperative for readers to be aware of the fact that the Biblical Messiah was not named Jesus. The letter J has no place the Hebrew language, and is one of the newest additions to the English alphabet. The use of the letter J only became widespread after the year 1630. In fact, the name 'Jesus' doesn't appear in the original 1611 King James Version of the Bible; 'Iesus' being the Greek rendering offered. 2,000 years ago there were no individual named 'JESUS', NO PLACE NAMED JERUSALEM, AND NO 'JEWS'. The Biblical Messiah is an Israelite; he has a Hebrew name, and that Hebrew name is Yah'shua-'Yah is salvation'. This is why a T.O.C (Torah Observant Christian) will NEVER refer to the biblical Messiah by the Pagan monicker, "Jesus".
A T.O.C also rejects the bulk of doctrine held by many modern day denominations claiming to be 'Christian'- viewing the majority as little more than Synagogues of Satan; apostate Churches, each guilty of having rejected the Biblical G-d and Mashiach; heretics of the first degree.
A T.O.C aspires to live and worship in the manner of Yah'shua, his Talmidim (Disciples), and the early adherents to 'The way' {first century}.
A T.O.C observes Torah, Circumcises a son on the 8th day after birth, Observes the Sabbath {Sundown Friday to sundown Saturday}, and practices biblical dietary regulations{Kashrut/Kosher}- all of which Yah'shua, and his followers, did before us.
A T.O.C's first thoughts are (in all things theological)the words of Rabbi Yah'shua as spoken in Matthew 5:17-19 :''Think not that I have come to destroy the law (Torah),or the prophets;I am not come to destroy,but to fulfil! For verily I say unto you ,till heaven and earth pass,one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law (Torah), till all be fulfilled.Whosoever therefore shall break one of the least commandments,and shall teach men so,he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven ;but whosoever shall do and teach them,the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven!
To be perfectly candid, modern/mainstream 'Christian Churches'are not only Heretical- they are syncretic and blasphemous. These so-called "Churches" preach a mutilated, castrated; pallid and effete caricature in place of the G-d and saviour found in the Holy Bible. These so-called "Churches" refuse to live by the laws given by G-d to the prophet Moses- completely disregarding Yahshua's adherence and commands to adhere; not to mention the Torah adherence of the Talmidim, and the early 'Christians' (including those under Jacob/James, the leader of the Church in Jerusalem, along with Messiah's other Brother 'Jude' and Kepha/Peter, after Messiah's execution.)
A T.O.C is a faithful believer, and an obedient disciple of what most in the West would refer to as 'Christianity'; he has no part in Pagan 'Churchianity'- The creed invented by the Emperor Constantine; now found in around 99% of today's mainstream 'Churches'.
A T.O.C aspires to follow the example set by Yah'shua and the 1st century movement. Based upon this aspiration, a T.O.C rejects Catholicism, and mainstream Protestantism, as branches of the same poisoned tree; each having taught apostasy and rebellion against YHVH, and against his son, Yah'shua.
Often, a T.O.C will wear a tallit at the time of prayer.
In observing such practices a T.O.C draws closer to his rich biblical heritage.
In short, let's say that (whilst the rest of the world has gone-a-whoring after a misinterpreted Saul/Paul) it is T.O.C which has remained loyal to Yah'shua's teachings, and (subsequently)to his rightful heir in the earthly ministry, Jacob the Just {Brother of Yah'shua}.
I'll leave the reader to meditate on 2Kepha/Peter 3, in which Kepha warns against (and attacks) Lawless/Torahless "false prophets" who are twisting Saul/Paul's words. 2Kepha 3:15And count the patience of our L-rd as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, 16as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters.There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. 17You therefore, beloved,knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability.
A T.O.C considers, as vital, the rehabilitation of Saul's reputation- a reputation which has been butchered in order to resemble an Anti-Torah, super-goy template by the lies of the Catholic 'Church' and mainstream Churchianity; the congregations of which (goaded by their "ignorant" and "unstable" leaders) have been "carried away with the error of lawless men".
True believers must make every effort to teach the correct interpretation of Saul's words; context, culture, audience and era must enter into the equation- aswell as correcting the myriad mistranslations which occur in William Tyndale's 'Hatchet job' translation of Biblical scriptures into the English language!
{Click 'Isaiah 44:2' picture to see the truth about abortion}
A T.O.C establishes the HALACHA: which means "the way to walk". It refers to the whole system of how to live within the framework of the Scriptures. We establish and use the Halacha as follows:
1. Correct name for G-d;'Yahweh'- YHVH
2. Correct name for Jesus Of Nazareth- 'Yah'shua'.
3.Correct title of Christ- 'Messiah'.
4. Saturday sabbath.
5. Instead of Christmas and Easter we celebrate Sukkot and Pesach.
6. L-rd- 'Master' or 'Adon Yah'shua'.
7. Water baptism- 'Mikveh'.
8.Spiritual baptism- Spiritual Mikveh.
9.Church- 'Congregation'.
10.Body of Christ- Body of Messiah.
11. Instead of January as first month- Nissan, the first Biblical month - March/April.
12. Instead of Monday as the first day of the week- Sunday, first day of the week.
13. Bible- 'Scriptures'.
14. We deny the celebration of Christmas and Easter as pagan holidays.
We establish and celebrate Yahshua's:
BIRTH - on Succot/Feast of the Tabernacles
DEATH - on Pesach/Passover
BURIAL - on Yom HaMatzah/Feast of Unleavened Bread
RESURRECTION - HaBikkurim/ Feast of First Fruits.
Morning prayer...
How may day began :
I woke up at 8:00 AM today; later than my usual wake-up call.
Whilst still in the stupor of my slumber; before I'd opened my eyes:
"Thank you great and merciful YHVH for giving me this day. Thank you for allowing me to continue my pilgrimage upon this Earth. Please guide me, my family , my brothers and sisters around the world, and all my loved ones in your path of righteousness. Guide us safely through this day; guide us by your Ruach HaKodesh. In the holy name of Yah'shua HaMashiach. Amen", was the soliloquy which left my lips.
After clearing my head (and the haze from my eyes) I rolled out of bed and switched on the C.D player situated upon the chest of draws at the end of my room. After being shaken from my lethargy by Demon Hunter's 'The soldiers song', I ventured downstairs and poured myself a pint of milk (as I do every morning). After downing this I went to shower and make sure I was clean before prayer.
Once I'd showered , clothed myself and brushed me teeth, I went back down stairs and into the lounge.
Noticing it was the 9th hour I took out my tallit, and after putting it upon my shoulders, I rolled out my prayer mat and faced Jerusalem.
Standing, and closing my eyes, I put out my upturned palms before me, and prayed the following prayer:
"Hear, O Israel! Thy G-d is one G-d, and thou shalt love thy G-d with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy mind, and with all thy strength! This is the first commandment. Amen".
I bowed my face to the ground:
And declared "There is no G-d but YHVH, and no saviour other than his only begotten son, Yah'shua HaMashiach".
(Kneeling)
"My great and merciful heavenly father, I come before you to praise your holy name; to tell you of my gratitude for everything you are, and for everything you do i give thanks!
Speak to me YHVH as I stand before you; guide your servant. keep myself and my family from the temptations of HaSatan. Help us to walk in your paths of righteousness for your names sake.
Help us to reject the counsel of the Heathens that surround us, and follow them not into folly! Help us to be a clean and separate people. Help us to recognize HaSatan and his schemes, and those through whom he works his evil desires may we always oppose!
Write your laws upon our hearts and minds, and help us to keep Yah'shua's sacrifice before our eyes as a reminder of what it is we represent. YHVH, may we never dishonour the blood atonement Yah'shua chose to make for us; his blood and life given for our salvation. May I never forget that he gave his own perfect and sinless life for me (A mere sinful man of dust).
Dear heavenly father, as a sign of my love for you, my trust in you, and of my desire for myself and my family to lead lives which are pleasing to you, I recite the prayer that my Adon Yah'shua has taught me...
Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; thy will be done! on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into hard testing, but deliver us from evil. Amen''.
(Personally, i recite the Adon's prayer in Hebrew): ''Avinu shebashamayim, yitkadesh shimkhah. Tavo malkhutekha, ye'aseh retzonekha, ba'aretz ka'asher na'asah va'shamayim. Ten-lanu haiyom lechem chukeinu. U'selach lanu et ashmateinu,ka'asher solechim anachnu la'asher ashemu lanu. Ve'al-tevieinu lidei massah, ki-'im hatzileinu min-hara. Ki lekha ha-mamelakha ve-hagevurah veha-tiferet. Le'olemei 'olamim Amein''.
Then bow my face to the ground again:
(Kneeling)
'"Heavenly father, please continue to bless and protect us. Please continue to provide for all our needs both spiritually and physically. YHVH, help us to speak the truth of your holy scripture, and to expose the lies of the false prophets which have overran our Churches; Churches that blaspheme and denigrate you and our saviour Yah'shua. I pray these false prophets will be hewn down heavenly father!
Give us the hearts of lions, and make us ferocious in the face of your enemies; a terror to the disciples of HaSatan. Make our hands strong as steel, and set our faces as flint against the enemies of your righteousness, and against those who teach lies for truth and truth for lies. But give us patience and love for our personal enemies.
YHVH I pray that you will imbue us with fire and zeal; give us strength and courage through the Ruach HaKodesh. Make our hearts and minds attentive to your holy scripture-The words of your Holy prophets and your only begotten son Yah'shua.
Dear great and merciful YHVH! you knew me before I was, and you knitted me in my mothers womb; a witness to your majesty. Help me this day to be the person you desire me to be, and to conduct myself with honour, dignity, self-control and eloquence. May I, and my brothers, be ensigns proclaiming your might, mercy and wonders; may we help others to find you.
G-d of my strength and youth! I love you, I praise you and thank you for everything you have given and offer me; for everything you have made me believe I can be. Though the world may hate me for speaking your word, I will not be hurt by this. Help me to remember that, long before the world hated me, the World hated Yah'shua. May I take pride in the fact that you deem me to be worthy to suffering for your names sake. May I always remember that friendship with the world is hatred towards you!
Heavenly father, I ask these things in humble supplication to you. I trust that if what I ask for is for good it shall be granted me. I have this faith in you because I ask in the name of Yah'shua HaMashiach. And in the Holy name of Yah'shua HaMashiach I thank thee. Amen!"
Then bowed for the third (and final) time:
Thus expressing my submission to YHVH, Yah'shua, and Ruach HaKodesh.
Still with my face to the ground I procl..
"THERE IS NO OTHER G-D BUT YOU, YAHWEH! AND THERE IS NO SAVIOUR OTHER THAN YOUR ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, YAH'SHUA HAMASHIACH".
Only once I've taken the time to pray does my day truly begin...
3 P.M is afternoon prayer.
9 P.M is evening prayer.
Brothers, let us be sure that (no matter what happens during the day) we remember these words: ''Seek Ye First The Kingdom Of Heaven!'', then everything else just falls into place. YHVH bless you all.
Müzik
An open response to all militant anti-theists...
You despise men of faith because you despise the
word.
You despise the word because you despise your
creator.
You depise your creator because he expects you to
follow laws and statutes; things which define an
individual as man rather than beast.
You want to lead selfish and degenerate
lives; immoral filth.
You have became G-d haters; mere apes are your chosen heritage.
Your hearts are black and calloused sores; your
eyes are blind; dark and sordid worm
holes.
You are already dead; you know the empty
and unfulfilled lives you lead are no lives at
all.
Everyday you die in a spiritual vacuum; you
cry yourself to sleep at night- only to
wake the next morning and commit the same acts of
self-destruction- feeling the cold despair of death.
But there exists those who rise from the ashes; breaking this vicious cycle. There exists those who desire liberation from the chains of sin dragging them deeper into the Abyss with each passing day. There exists those who want true life- they are sick of what they have seen, done, or had done to them. There exists those who
aspire to be better people!
Who are you to criticise them?
You're nothing! You're dust!
You're a mist that lingers for awhile, and then fade
away into the great beyond.
But the believers!...we are the ones who will
still remain when everything else is laid to
waste!
We will wash our feet in the blood of the wicked;
we will ride the whirl-winds; our eyes will
behold paradise whilst you weep! You will be
numbered with the dogs left outside the gates of
the new Jerusalem.
Hebrews 10:26-30 'if we deliberatley keep on
sinning after we have received the knowledge of
the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,but only
a fearful expectation of judgement and of raging
fire that will consume the enemies of G-d.Anyone
that rejected the law of moses died without mercy
on the testimony of 2 or 3 witnesses.How much more
severely do you think a man deserves to be
punished who has trampled the son of G-d under
foot, who as treated as an unholy thing the blood
of the covernant that sanctified him and who as
insulted the spirit of grace'.
To unrepentant are handed over to HaSatan; may the death of a thousand cuts be
upon you, and may the flames of Gehenna consume your bones!
Welcome Yah'shua into your life before it's too late. I implore all readers out of brotherly love, and not hatred as some will claim.

Dale Johnsen: "Throughout Yah'shua's life on earth, HE obeyed all of G-d's law perfectly. Of all the 613 commands {in the Mosaic code}, HE obeyed every single one that applied to HIM. HE is the only One who ever did this. Thus, through HIS perfectly sinless life, fulfilled the law on behalf of a sinful human race which was unable to keep it."
YAH'SHUA DID NOT BRING A NEW RELIGION.
To state that the Messiah did not bring a new religion almost feels like stating the obvious. Sadly, there seems to be many who think that is exactly what HE did do. Why is that?
A misunderstanding of what Torah is the basis for this idea, and the mixing of pagan worship into so-called Pauline (Mainstream) 'Christianity' has led to a religion that is entirely different to that of scripture. The T.O.C (on the other hand) is aware of the scriptural importance. The Torah given to Moses is a 'Living Law' put into motion by YHWH. Yah'shua followed the "Law of Moses" to perfection.
The Torah was intended to give the whole nation of Israel a life of peace, prosperity and joy. Please understand this Torah Lives, and like the law of gravity it is in motion all the time. You cannot change or abolish the law of gravity; you cannot change or abolish the Torah.
Whilst Yah'shua brought us a renewed Covenant, HE makes clear that there exists no abrogation of any previous Covenant- Torah included.(Torah is part of the Covenant between YHVH and the twelve tribes of Israel). His death on the stake/cross purchased forgiveness for mankind's violation of the Torah. If we accept Yahshua's blood sacrifice, repent and are baptised (With the laying on of hands following baptism we receive the Ruach HaKodesh {Set Apart Spirit}, we are a new creation- created to be obedient to G-d's laws. Right now you might be asking the question "why do we need the Ruach HaKodesh?", simple: Without the Ruach Ancient Israel was unable to live by the Torah- they were perpetual backsliders. The Ruach is given-upon repentance and baptism- to aid the believer in living by G-d's law. The Torah is also vital in that it reveals (or makes us aware of) what (precisely)constitutes Sin. Seriously think about the profundity of this revelation. Before we can truly repent we must first require a knowledge of actions for which we need to repent.
Messiah protested against the teachings of Pharisaic Judaism (has found in such heretical works as the Talmud) which are no more Torahcentric than mainstream, westernized, 'Christianity' is today. "Yah'shua HaMashiach brought a new religion?"... No. "HE insisted upon a reformation; a return to pure, simple, scriptural adherence?"...YES!
Matthew 5:17-19 ''Think not that i have come to destroy the law, or the prophets;i am not come to destroy, but to fulfil !For verily i say unto you , till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.Whosoever therefore shall break one of the least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven ;but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven !
Luke 4:43 But he said unto them, I must preach the good tidings of the kingdom of G-d to the other cities also: for therefore was I sent.
Matthew 19:17 'And he said unto him, "Why askest thou me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments".
Luke 16:17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
Matthew 23:1-3 'Then spake Yah'shua to the multitudes and to his disciples, saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat: all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, these do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not".
Yah'shua is adamant that Torah reigns forever. The only thing to have ceased is the need for blood sacrifice: Yah'shua having performed HIS role as sacrifical Lamb.
Acts 21:18-24 'And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things ELOHIYM had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. And when they heard it, they glorified YHVH, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law: And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs. What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them; Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
Acts 22:14'And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there, Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him. And he said, The ELOHIYM of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth'.
The previous quotations are just a few examples, each of which leave the the reader, with an unequivical understanding, that the believer is to continue in Torah observance. James 4:11, James 2:8-11, Matthew 5:17-20, 2Peter Chapter 2, Acts 21:18-24.
Ever wonder why Yah'shua chose men devout for the Law? Doesn't quite fit with the antinomianism taught in mainstream churches.
And ever wondered why Kepha/Peter would warn of coming detruction upon "Lawless men"- pointless words... unless... the law was the standard with which he measured; his moral compass.
Finally, Saul- whilst addressing the council in Jerusalem- was informed (by Jacob/James) that the enemies of 'The way' had been spreading lies about him (Saul)-claiming Saul to be a denouncer of the Torah. Saul immediately went to the Temple, and underwent purification rituals before having his head shaved, underoath, as a testimony to Moses and the Torah.
Any arguments against Torah just don't add up with scripture; amounting, rather, to the corrupt teachings of a church which has, as it's primary motive, the intention filling the pews (and the coffers) each sunday. Some folk just like to hear they can live like hell and still go to heaven- and the majority of (apostate) Churches are more than happy to tell them what they want to hear. People want G-d, but only if it's 'God' on their own terms, and made in their own image. The T.O.C condemns such folly as being heresy.

Am I legalistic?...
I've recently received a number of messages accusing me of being "Legalistic," so I thought I'd use this section to set the record straight.
From a scriptural perspective, the term "Legalistic" applies to those among the children of Israel- many a member of the early church included- who believed, or continue to believe, that salvation comes exclusively through the observance of the Torah (law): This was, and remains, a major mistake in rabbinical Judaism. In contrast to rabbinical Judaism, Torah observant Christians (Netzarim, Messianites) will insist upon the repudiation of the Mishnah- the "oral Torah" not found in the Holy Bible, and with which a parallel can be drawn: Al-Quran and the Hadiths- as did Rabbi Yah'shua, His Talmidim (disciples) and early followers. Second, a Messianite will observe the Torah, not in the belief that it is a means of becoming saved but rather as a means of remaining saved. The Torah is a means of enhancing our relationship with G-d and Rabbi Y'shua; of remaining clean and separate- a holy nation; and of evading the dreaded snare of the grace killer.
The Messianite is afforded validation in his (or her) position on numerous occasions throughout the Brit Hadasha (The so-called New testament. ) Validation couldn't come much clearer than the command for Torah observance given in Matthew 5:17-19: ''Think not that i have come to destroy the law, or the prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil! For verily I say unto you , till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of the least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven!"
Salvation comes through Y'shua's act of self-sacrifice alone, the shedding of HIS blood upon the cross is our redemption. In death, Y'shua made atonement for our sins, He was vicariously subjected to the death penalty in place of humanity, which has violated G-d's perfect laws- death would have been a just recompense for all the harm, bloodshed and depravity which has resulted from our rebellion. In resurrection Y'shua affords humanity hope and a second chance; your future doesn't have to be defined by your past. Humanity, the Reader included, is called to receive Ruach HaKodesh (The Holy spirit) as a manifestation of this second chance or rebirth. Each and every individual human being is capable of becoming a new creation willing to obey G-d's laws and to inherit the promises made to His people.
In obeying the pure biblical Torah, void of the man-made additions so characteristic of rabbinical Judaism, the Messianite obeys both the will of G-d and the teachings of Rabbi Y'shua, and remains in new found glory.
Put simply, Torah observance is a way to live your life in this world- it's a map, a blue-print for a spiritually and physically healthy life, and should be obeyed in light of that fact; but without making the mistake of thinking that it is the key to the next world, as only Y'shua holds that key. Incidentally, practices such as circumcision and adhering to a kosher based diet among the Messianite fellowship are also due to their status as being part of a divine manifesto covering how to be and remain healthy. There is no legalism here.
My final point is that the command of circumcision was given to Abraham after he believed and was blessed by G-d : the command was given to a redeemed man, and not as a means for the man to achieve redemption; the Torah was given to Moses after he believed and obeyed G-d : it was given to a redeemed man, and not as a means for the man to achieve redemption; circumcision and Torah observance because they were saved, not as a means of becoming saved.
Like Abraham, and like Moses, Y'shua taught the middle path of law and grace, works and faith, all combining together, as opposed to picking and choosing one or the other. The Torah is written physically, and now, thanks to the blood atonement of Rabbi Y'shua, and thanks to the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh, it is now written both upon the heart of every believer: This fulfils the prophecy of Jeremiah.
Kimle tanışmak isterim: Y'shua Ha'Nazaret, of course. In the Bible there are more prophecies concerning His credentials as the Messiah and of His death than any other subjects. The prophets spoke prophetically of the details involving the suffering of the Messiah, so that the specific ways in which they were fulfilled could not be denied. Here are 26 messianic prophecies, each fulfilled by the Rabbi:
1.The Messiah would be betrayed by a friend. Prophecy: "Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted (relied on and was confident), who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me" (Psalm 41:9). "For it is not an enemy who reproaches and taunts me; then I might bear it...But it was you, a man my equal, my companion and my familiar friend; we had sweet fellowship together, and used to walk to the house of G-d in company" (Psalm 55:12-14). Fulfilment: "He replied, He who has just dipped his hand in the same dish with Me will betray Me!" (Matthew 26:21). "...But it is that the scripture may be fulfilled, he who eats (his) bread with Me has raised up his heel against Me...After Yahshua had said these things, He was troubled (disturbed, agitated) in spirit, and said, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you that one of you will deliver Me up--be false to me and betray Me!" (John 13:18,21).
2. The Messiah would be sold for thirty pieces of silver. Prophecy: "...So they weighed out for my price thirty pieces of silver" (Zechariah 11:12b). Fulfilment: "And said, What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you? And they weighed out and paid him thirty pieces of silver" (Matthew 26:15).
3. The thirty pieces of silver would be returned for a potter's field. Prophecy: "And the L-rd said to me, Cast it to the potter (as if He said, To the dogs!), the munificently miserable sum at which I (and My shepherd) am priced by them! And I (Zechariah) took the thirty pieces of silver and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord" (Zechariah 11:13). Fulfillment: "And casting the pieces of silver (forward) into the holy place of the sanctuary of the temple, he (Judas) departed and went off and he hanged himself. But the chief priests, picking up the pieces of silver, said, It is not legal to put these in the (consecrated) treasury, for it is the price of blood. So after consultation they bought with them the potter's field in which to bury strangers" (Matthew 27:5-7).
4. The Messiah would be forsaken by His disciples. Prophecy: "Smite the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered..." (Zechariah 13:7a). Fulfilment: "And Yahshua said to them, You will all fall away this night--(that is,) you will be caused to stumble and will begin to distrust and desert Me; for it stands written, I will strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered" (Mark 14: 27).
5. The Messiah would be accused by false witnesses. Prophecy: "Malicious and unrighteous witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I know not" (Psalm 35:11). "For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit are opened against me, they have spoken to me and against me with a lying tongue" (Psalm 109:2). Fulfilment: "Now the chief priests and the whole council (the Sanhedrin) sought to get false witnesses to testify against Yahshua..." (Matthew 26:59a).
6. The Messiah would be silent before his accusers. Prophecy: "He was oppressed, yet when He was afflicted He was submissive and opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not His mouth" (Isaiah 53:7). "But I, like a deaf man, hear not; and I am like a dumb man who opens not his mouth. Yes, I have become like a man who hears not, in whose mouth are no arguments or replies" (Psalm 38:13-14). Fulfilment: "But when the charges were made against Him by the chief priests and the elders, he made no answer...He made no reply to him, not even to a single accusation, so that the governor marvelled greatly..." (Matthew 27:2,14). "When He was reviled and insulted, He did not revile or offer insult in return; (when) He was abused and suffered, He made no threats of (vengeance); but He trusted (Himself and everything) to Him who judges fairly" (1 Peter 2:23).
7. The Messiah would be smitten across the face. Prophecy: "Smite the Shepherd..." (Zechariah 13:7). "They shall smite the ruler of Israel with a rod--a sceptre--on the cheek" (Micah 5:1). Fulfilment: "And they took the reed-staff and struck Him on the head" (Matthew 27:30). "Then they...struck Him with their fists; and some slapped Him in the face" (Matthew 26:67).
8. The Messiah would be spat upon. Prophecy: "I gave My cheeks to those who plucked off the hair; I hid not my face from shame and spitting" (Isaiah 50:6). Fulfilment: "Then they spat in his face, and struck him with their fists; and some slapped Him in the face, Saying, Prophesy to us, You Christ, the Messiah! Who was it that struck you?" (Matthew 26:67-68). "And they spat on Him" (Matthew 27:30).
9. The Messiah would be whipped on the back. Prophecy: "I gave My back to the smiters..." (Isaiah 50:6) Fulfilment: "So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, set Barabbas free for them; and after having whipped Yahshua [Jesus], he handed (Him) over to be crucified" (Mark 15:15).
10. The Messiah's body would be disfigured. Prophecy: "(For many, the Servant of G-d became an object of horror; many were astonished.) His face and His whole appearance were marred more than any man's, and His form beyond that of the sons of men" (Isaiah 52:14). Fulfilment: This above verse gives us a picture of what Yahshua must have looked like before He was nailed to the cross, as well as during His time on the cross when His bones became out of joint. The following excerpt is taken from "All the Messianic Prophecies of the Bible" by Herbert Lockyer (Zondervan): "His bruised and swollen face the smiting with the reed produced must have looked more terrible when, after the crown of thorns had been pressed onto His forehead, the oozing blood made Him a pitiable sight to behold, blindfolded as he was (Luke 22:64)."
11. The Messiah Would be Pierced in His Hands and Feet. Written a thousand years before Yahshua was born, Psalm 22 reveals the manner of death the Messiah would die. David had never heard of crucifixion, as it was not a practice in Israel at that time. Nevertheless, David writes of piercing the hands and feet, the bones out of joint, the terrible thirst, the body openly displayed, and many other aspects of the crucifixion that Yahshua would suffer. Prophecy: "For (like a pack of dogs) they have encompassed me; a company of evildoers has encircled me, they pierced my hands and my feet" (Psalm 22:16). Fulfilment: "Then He said to Thomas, Reach out your finger here and see My hands; and put out your hand and place (it) in my side" (John 20:27).
12. The Messiah's body would be pierced. Prophecy: "...And they shall look (earnestly) upon Me Whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns for His only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him as one who is in bitterness for his first-born" (Zechariah 12:10b). Fulfilment: "But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear..." (John 19:34). "And again, another Scripture says, They shall look upon Him whom they have pierced" (John 19:37).
13. The Messiah would be killed alongside the guilty. Prophecy: "And they assigned him a grave with the wicked...and He let Himself be regarded as a criminal and be numbered with the transgressors" (Isaiah 53: 9a, 12b). Fulfilment: "And with him they crucified two robbers, one on (His) right hand and one His left. And the scripture was fulfilled which says, He was counted among the transgressors" (Mark 15:27-28).
14. The Messiah would pray for His persecutors. Prophecy: "He...made intercession for the transgressors" (Isaiah 53:12). "In return for my love they are my adversaries; but I resort to prayer" (Psalm 109:4). Fulfillment: "And Yahshua prayed, Father forgive them for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34).
15. The Messiah would be the object of ridicule. Prophecy: "I am also become a taunt and a reproach to others; when they see me they shake their heads" (Psalm 109: 25). "All who see me laugh at me and mock me; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head saying, he trusted and rolled himself on the L-rd, that He would deliver him. Let Him deliver him, seeing He delights in him!" (Psalm 22: 7-8). "As with a sword (crushing) in my bones, my enemies taunt and reproach me; while they say continually to me, Where is your G-d?" (Psalm 42:10). "He said to them, You will doubtless quote to me this proverb, Physician, heal Yourself!" (Luke 4: 23a). Fulfilment: "And those who passed by spoke reproachfully and abusively and jeered at Him, wagging their heads" (Matthew 27:39). "In the same way the chief priests with the scribes and elders made sport of Him saying,...He trusts in G-d; let G-d deliver Him now, if He cares for Him and will (have Him), for He said, I am the son of G-d" (Matthew 27:41,43). "And those who passed by kept reviling Him and reproaching Him abusively in harsh and insolent language, wagging their heads and saying, Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, now rescue Yourself (from death) coming down from the cross. So also the chief priests with the scribes made sport of Him to one another, saying, He rescued others (from death); Himself He is unable to rescue" (Mark 15:29-31). "Those who were crucified with Him also reviled and reproached Him--speaking abusively, harshly, and insolently" (Mark 15:32). "...The rulers scoffed and sneered (turned up their noses) at Him, saying, He rescued others (from death), let Him now rescue Himself, if He is the Christ, the Messiah of G-d, His Chosen One! The soldiers also ridiculed and made sport of Him..." (Luke 23:35,36a).
16. The Garments of the Messiah were to be gambled for. Contrary to popular paintings depicting Yahshua wearing a loincloth as He hung on the cross, He most likely hung there absolutely naked, as the soldiers gambled for His inner and outer garments beneath the cross. This exquisite detail of David's prophecy is a highlight of the amazing accuracy of his prophetic picture of the crucifixion scene in Psalm 22. Prophecy: "They part my clothing among them, and cast lots from my raiment (a long shirt-like garment, a seamless under tunic)" (Psalm 22:18). Fulfilment: "...Then the soldiers when they had crucified Yahshua took His garments and made four parts, one share for each soldier, and also the tunic (the long shirt-like undergarment). But the tunic was seamless, woven from top to bottom throughout. So they said to one another, Let us not tear it, but let us cast lots to decide whose it shall be. This was to fulfil the Scripture, They parted My garments among them and for My clothing they cast lots. So the soldiers did these things" (John 19: 23-24).
17. The Messiah would be publicly gazed and gaped at. Prophecy: "I can count all my bones; (the evildoers) gaze at me" (Psalm 22:17). "...just as many were astonished at Him..." (Isaiah 52:14b). Fulfilment: "Then they sat down there and kept watch over Him" (Matthew 27:36). "Now the people stood by, (calmly and leisurely) watching" (Luke 23:35a).
18. The Messiah would be deserted by G-d. The face of G-d was turned--not so much from His Only Begotten Son in Whom He delighted, but in all the sin of all humanity who has ever lived, piled up on one Person. He literally took our sin and made it His sin. He totally identified with it, and took all upon Himself, as if He, Himself was the one who did it. All of the world's rebellion, arrogance, cowardliness, hatred, and hypocrisy were piled on Him. The sight was so filthy that G-d turned His head away. Surely this was the pinnacle of the suffering which Jesus endured on the cross. Prophecy: "My G-d, my G-d, why have you forsaken me?" (Psalm 22:1). Fulfilment: "Yahshua cried with a loud voice, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My G-d, My G-d, why have You abandoned Me?" (Matthew 27:46).
19. The Messiah would agonize with thirst. Prophecy: "(With thirst) my tongue cleaves to my jaws" (Psalm 22:15). "They also gave me gall (poisonous and bitter) for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar (a soured wine) to drink" (Psalm 69: 21). "My throat is parched" (Psalm 69: 3). Fulfilment: "After this, Yahshua, knowing that all was now finished (ended), said in fulfilment of the Scripture, I thirst" (John 19: 28). "They offered Him wine mingled with gall to drink, but when He tasted it, He refused to drink it" (Matthew 27: 3 ,4). "And one of them immediately ran and took a sponge, soaked it with vinegar (a sour wine), and put it on a reed staff and was about to give it to Him to drink" (Matthew 27:48).
20. The Messiah would commit His Spirit to G-d. Prophecy: "Into Your hand I commit my spirit;" (Psalm 31:5). Fulfilment: "And Yahshua, crying out with a loud voice, said, Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit! And with these words, He expired" (Luke 23:46).
21. The Messiah's friends would stand far off. Prophecy: "My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; and my neighbours and my near ones stand afar off" (Psalm 38:11). "You have put my (familiar) friends far from me; You have made me an abomination to them. I am shut up and cannot come forth" (Psalm 87:8). Fulfilment: "And all the acquaintances of (Yahshua) and the women who had followed Him from Galilee stood at a distance and watched these things" (Luke 23:49).
22. The Messiah's bones would not be broken. This symbolic prophecy likens Yahshua to the Passover Lamb of Exodus. This lamb was to be "without blemish," "a male," and without any bones broken. After being slaughtered, it's blood was to be applied to the doorposts of the houses of the Israelites, to prevent the destroyer from killing their firstborn. Today, the blood of Yahshua [Jesus] does for us, what the blood of the Passover lamb foreshadowed. As we apply His blood to our "forehead" and "hands" (the top and sides of the door posts) we also, are protected from the Destroyer, and from the Second Death. Prophecy: "...Neither shall you break a bone of it" (Exodus 12: 46). "They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break any bone of it; according to all the statute for the Passover they shall keep it" (Numbers 9:12). Fulfilment: "But when they came to Yahshua, and they saw that he was already dead, they did not break His legs...For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled (verified, carried out) Not one of His bones shall be broken" (John 19: 33,36).
23. The state of the Messiah's heart. "Jesus literally died of a broken heart. Not only was it punctured by the soldier's sword thrust, but the extreme mental and spiritual torture was so great that His heart was ruptured before the point of the sword pierced it. Appearance of the blood and water indicated that the lymphatic fluid apparently had separated from the red blood, producing 'blood and water.'" (From "All The Messianic Prophecies of the Bible" by Herbert Lockyer, Zondervan, page 156). Prophecy: "I am poured out like water...my heart is like wax, it is softened (with anguish), and melted down within me" (Psalm 22:14). Fulfilment: "But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came (flowed) out of it" (John 19:34). "This is He who came by (with) water and blood..." (1 John 5:6).
24. The Messiah would be hid from a gaping crowd by darkness. Prophecy: "And in that day, says the Lord God, I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the broad daylight time" (Amos 8:9). Fulfilment: "Now from the sixth hour (noon) there was darkness over the all the land until the ninth hour (three o'clock)" (Matthew 27:45).
25. The Messiah would be buried with the rich. Normally, the Roman custom was to throw the corpses of the crucified to wild roaming dogs. However, the body of Yahshua was spared this fate, as one of His secret disciples, wealthy Joseph of Arimathea received special permission to bury his body in his own tomb. Prophecy: "And they assigned Him a grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in His death..." (Isaiah 53:9). Fulfilment: "When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Yahshua. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Yahshua, and Pilate ordered that it be given him. And Joseph took the body and rolled it up in a clean linen cloth used for swathing dead bodies, and laid it in his own fresh (undefiled) tomb, which he had hewn in the rock; and he rolled a big boulder over the door and went away (Matthew 27:57-60).
26. The Messiah would die a voluntary, substitutionary death. Prophecy: "...He poured out His life unto death, and He let Himself be regarded as a criminal and be numbered with the transgressors, yet he bore (and took away) the sin of many...(Isaiah 53:12b). "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement needful to obtain peace and well being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes that wounded Him we are healed and made whole....All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and the L-rd has made to light on Him the guilt and iniquity of us all...My Servant (shall) justify and make many righteous--upright and in right standing with G-d; for He shall bear their iniquities and their guilt (with the consequences, says the Lord)" (Isaiah 53:5,6,11). "I gave My back to the smiters, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair; I hid not my face from shame and spitting" (Isaiah 50:6). Fulfilment: "I am the Good Shepherd. The good shepherd risks and lays down his (own) life for the sheep" (John 10:11). "..I lay down My own life to take it back again. No one takes it away from Me. On the contrary, I lay it down voluntarily" (John 10: 8). "Just as the Son of man came not to be waited on but to serve, and give his life as a ransom for many--the price paid to set them free" (Matthew 20:28). "He personally bore our sins in His (own) body to the tree (as to an alter and offered Himself on it), that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed" (1 Peter 2:24).
Without a doubt, Y'shua is the promised Mashiach (Messiah). The fulfilment of prophecy speaks for itself.

Warrior-Priest’s of the Most High God, you are spirit warriors doing battle not only in this physical realm but also in the spiritual realm. While looking over the battlefield understand that what you see in the physical are only symptoms of the spiritual forces of darkness maneuvering in the spiritual realm. Do not allow the fog of war cloud your perception. You are of the Knightly order of Ecclesia, you have been called out and separated to a High and Noble calling, a royal priesthood called to war. So, boldly take the offensive against satan and his legions of fallen angels. Destroy with a vengeance the un-godly yokes of darkness that oppress and posses.
