In part 1 of this article series, we explored the possibility that Mary Magdalene and Mary of Bethany may have been the same person, and that this Mary - who was a dedicated disciple of Yahshua in His role as the Messiah of Israel - was also seen as the wife of Christ in occult circles. Although this occult view of Mary Magdalene does not agree with Scripture, Mary's virtue upon her salvation is never questioned in any of the Gospels. In fact, she is portrayed as a very devoted disciple of Yahshua. I expounded upon this fact in another short excerpt from my book on prophecy. In it, I had this to say about the character of Mary Magdalene as revealed in Scripture:

Excerpt from Chapter 10 of “The Language of God in Prophecy”:
“As already mentioned, two of the Gospels tell us that Yahshua cast seven demons out of Mary Magdalene (Mark 16:9; Luke 8:1-2). Since demons only plague people who have not repented of sin, and who have not sought protection from Yahweh, this implies that Mary Magdalene had sinned grievously in some way. However, the Bible never states that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. On the contrary, the Gospels tell us that - though she had sinned - Mary was delivered from demon possession, and became a devoted disciple of Christ. She therefore was a reformed, repentant, and forgiven sinner.

Mary Magdalene‘s devotion to and love for Yahshua was so great that she was there at the foot of the Cross when the other apostles and disciples had already abandoned Him (Mark 15:39-41). Mary Magdalene was also blessed with being the first person to see Yahshua in His resurrected body (See Matt. 28:1, Mark 16:9-11, John 20:11-18). Furthermore, we are told that Mary Magdalene was so deeply moved by this experience that she worshiped Yahshua at His feet. But later, when Mary excitedly told the apostles that she had seen the risen Christ, they doubted her word (Mark 16:9-11).”
End of Book Excerpt

Despite the clear teaching of Scripture, there are scholars who ignore these passages about Mary’s faith in, and devotion to Yahshua as an incredibly learned Rabbi, as well as the true King and Messiah of Israel. They ignore her devotion to Yahshua's ministry in an effort to not only undermine the Christian faith, but to mislead people who are not well-versed in Biblical teachings into thinking their Messiah may not return from Heaven just as He said that He would, but through reincarnation via birth into a royal family bloodline connected to both King David and Yahshua. They do so by citing the unbiblical idea that Mary was the wife of Yahshua, and that she had at least one child by Him that survived and continued Christ's royal bloodline.

Detractors of traditional Christian beliefs like to cite old legends that say Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Yahshua left Judea before the city of Jerusalem fell to the Romans. According to legend, they were taken first to Spain or France by Joseph of Arimathea. Later, all three of them are supposed to have eventually settled in ancient Britain, where the supposed child or children of Mary Magdalene and Yahshua were married into one or more of the existing royal families in Ireland and Scotland.

This is why the United Kingdom is the home to so many stories of King Arthur and his connection to the Holy Grail, which is a veiled reference to the bloodline of Yahshua. In my book "The Language of God in History", I revealed that King Arthur is also a veiled reference to Moses, the Sword Excalibur is connected to the Staff of Yahweh that Moses used to perform miracles, Camelot is a reference to the Kingdom of Israel under King Solomon, and the Holy Grail is not an actual Cup or Chalice that Yahshua used at the Last Supper, but a veiled reference to His literal bloodline. I discovered these connections when comparing stories in the Book of Jasher or Upright Record with Bible stories, various Arthurian Legends, and the legends concerning Mary Magdalene.

In legend, Mary’s womb - and by extension any child fathered by Yahshua in that womb - was symbolically pictured as the Chalice or Cup that held the symbolic blood of the Lamb of God that Yahshua offered to His Apostles at the Last Supper. Symbolically, this Grail Cup or Chalice not only signified Yahshua's cleansing blood, but the child or children from Mary’s womb that Yahshua supposedly fathered. To some people who don't understand how the blood of Christ allows all who believe in Him as the Messiah and Son of God the opportunity to be seen as His blood kin, the children of Mary were considered to be the Holy Grail, or righteous “Seed of the Woman” that was destined to rise up and vanquish Satan’s evil seed, or wicked followers. This connection was made via the Messianic Prophecy in Genesis 3:15, which speaks of the Seed of the Woman who was Eve vanquishing the coming seed or offspring of the Devil:

~*~ Genesis 3:15 ~*~
 “And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”

Of course, advanced Bible students know that the Seed of the Woman was referring to Yahshua or Jesus, and that He vanquished the Devil and his wicked seed forever on the Cross by reversing the penalty for sin for all who believe in His saving blood sacrifice. In this way, Yahshua opened the way for mankind to commune with their Heavenly Father God without the need for any Mediator or High Priest but Yahshua, who cut the New Covenant on the Cross with His blood. Thus, the occult view of Mary Magdalene as the wife of Christ and the owner of the Holy Grail or womb that carried Yahshua's children paints her as an antichrist, and as the false source of the Seed of the Woman or royal bloodline of Christ, which is the basis of the Merovingian heresy.

The reason I say emphatically that the Holy Grail stories connecting Mary Magdalene to the bloodline of Christ are heresy is because the New Testament makes it clear that the true bloodline of Yahshua is based on SPIRITUAL REBIRTH via a special baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is what I will absolutely prove in Part 3 of this article series. For now, however, I want to focus on why Mary of Bethany may have been called Mary Magdalene in certain Gospel stories to hide her identity, who the Merovingians were, where their kingdom was located, and why the Merovingian kings are cited as being directly descended from Christ through Mary Magdalene.

Nonetheless, there are veiled Biblical clues that Mary of Bethany in her role as Mary Magdalene was married to Yahshua, and these veiled references need to be addressed. In that regard, though Mary of Bethany is supposedly depicted as an unmarried maiden that still lived with her family in the Gospels - there are clues in the account of the raising of her brother Lazarus that Mary was acting as a wife would in her behavior towards Yahshua. This is found in the fact that she would not come out of the house and greet Yahshua as Martha already had until Yahshua specifically asked for her to come out. This is in keeping with the proper behavior of an Israelite woman toward her husband at that time in history:
John 11:20-22; 28-30 ~ “Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house. 21 Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You...” ~ 28 And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, “The Teacher has come and is calling for you.” 29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came to Him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met Him.”
Even to someone unfamiliar with Israelite customs in the First Century AD, it is obvious from this section of the Gospel of John, Chapter 11 that Mary is acting very differently from Martha in her behavior toward Yahshua. In addition, according to historical records, Mary's behavior is consistent with the actions of a devoted and obedient Israelite wife who was sitting in mourning for her brother inside her home, and was awaiting the arrival and summons from her husband before she went outside to greet him. Although this is only circumstantial evidence, it does suggest that Mary's relationship with Yahshua was very different than Martha's relationship to Him.

A Fanciful Depiction of Yahshua's friendship with Martha and Mary of Bethany
Like Mary of Bethany, Mary Magdalene seems to have been a part of Yahshua's band of apostles and disciples from early on in His ministry. But according to Israelite customs back then, only married women who had received permission from their husbands, or widows accompanied by a male relative would have been allowed to travel freely about with them, or to publicly visit with a large group of unrelated men. The fact that the Gospels hint that both Mary Magdalene and Mary of Bethany loved Yahshua and supported His ministry, and their behavior was consistent with married Israelite women of that time period is another clear link between the two, and this reinforces the supposition that they may have been the same woman.

These veiled references to marriage suggest the possibility that Mary of Bethany, who may have been called "Magdalene" or "Strong Tower" as a reference to her faith in Yahshua, was actually married to Yahshua, the Rabbi from Galilee, Who rightfully claimed to be the Messiah and King of Israel. If so, we can rightly assume that her true identity would have had to be obscured for her future safety. This conclusion leads me to ask the following questions:

Could it be that Mary of Bethany was called Mary Magdalene because she was Yahshua's earthly wife, and her true identity was deliberately being hidden in order not to detract from her husband's initial mission as the Messiah and Savior of Israel? Could it be that - due to the Hebrew meaning of Migdal as "Strong Tower", from which "Magdalene" is derived - Mary Magdalene was meant to symbolize the future Bride of Christ that will withstand all the attacks of the Devil to destroy her, and that she will forever dwell with God in the New Jerusalem one day? Or could it be that Mary Magdalene was simply used as a convenient smokescreen to promote the biggest historical distortion and heresy of ancient times?

Personally, I believe that Mary Magdalene was indeed Mary of Bethany, that she was meant to represent the future spiritually reborn and sanctified Bride of Christ, and that Yahshua's spiritual Bride made up of all of His disciples functions as the Strong Tower or Temple that stands against Lucifer's onslaughts until Yahshua returns to vanquish Lucifer's control of this world. When Yahshua does return, which could be very soon in the Rapture, He will set up His own Kingdom full of Righteousness and Justice. So whether or not Mary was actually married to Yahshua really doesn't matter on a spiritual level since He promised to return from Heaven, and not as a mortal child.

But if Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalene were designations for one woman who was married to Yahshua, she may have given birth to one or more of Yahshua's children before He died on the Cross, and was resurrected into everlasting life. Furthermore, if she did bear children fathered by Yahshua, there could be a literal royal bloodline that is connected to Christ on the Earth today that has been carefully hidden and protected so that it would not be wiped out. But, as I will show in Part 3 of this article series, any royal bloodline that can literally be tied to Christ can serve no holy purpose because Yahshua did not view blood-related people as His actual relations, but only those who love and follow Yahweh Elohim, seek to do His Will, and believe that Yahshua is His one and only divine Son and Savior of the Universe.

Due to the fact that Yahshua was no respecter of literal bloodlines, but only spiritual ones where people are united by their faith, it is highly likely that He would have condemned anyone that claimed to be His literal blood heirs, and His rightful replacements as leaders of His Church or Bride. But there are many scholars that claim that there is a literal bloodline of Christ that can be traced to the Merovingian Kingdom that flourished for 300 years in Europe in the Dark Ages, from 450 AD to 751 AD. So, for the purpose of examining this belief that the Merovingian Kings were Yahshua's descendants as the unbiblical heresy that it is, I'd like to relay some historical facts about the Merovingians and their kingdom.

The Merovingian Kingdom was absorbed into the Frankish Empire under Charlemagne
RIGHT CLICK AND OPEN IN NEW WINDOW TO ENLARGE
As shown in the darker green areas of the map above, the Merovingian Frankish royal family line ruled over a large kingdom that included almost all of ancient Gaul (France and Belgium combined) and Germany during the Dark Ages, and this is a sizable chunk of the land called Europe today. Legends say that this royal line hid the fact that they felt that they had a divine right to rule as the purported offspring of children fathered by Yahshua because they were afraid of being killed by the armies loyal to the Popes in Rome. They were also purported to live as Nazirites did, not cutting their hair or imbibing in wine or unclean foods (See Numbers 6:1-21 for the Biblical rules regarding Nazirites). This behavior is consistent with that of the supernaturally powerful Nazirite known as Samson in the Bible's Book of Judges (See Judges Chapters 13 through 16 for the full story of Samson). What is not readily known about Samson is that he was from the Tribe of Dan, and there are many veiled clues in Scripture that the Antichrist will be connected to the Tribe of Dan in some way.
Curiously, the Merovingian King Symbol is very similar to the square and compass
symbol of the Freemasons, and both resemble the interlocking triangles of the Star of David.

A bee is transformed into a fleur de lis
Intriguingly, it is also known that the Merovingian Kings decorated their robes and clothing with golden bees, and that the fleur de lis symbol was not just a possible symbolic reference to a divine trinity, but a stylized bee symbol (see the illustrations above and within this paragraph). It is believed that this practice of associating bees with royalty was begun by the royalty in Ancient Egypt, and examples of golden bees have been found in Egyptian tombs. Later, it also became a royal practice in Europe that was also used by the Pope in Rome. Eventually, the use of golden bees as a sign of authority was even used by Napoleon Bonaparte, who was a type of antichrist. Even more fascinating is the fact that the use of these golden bees to mark royalty may actually be tied to the story of Samson's killing of an attacking lion. In Judges Chapter 14, we read that Samson killed this raging lion by tearing it apart with his bare hands. It's interesting to note here that the Bible verses about the lion's demise tie the lion to a young goat, and goats are symbolic of wayward, sinful people that never repent, and therefore perish. After the lion was torn apart, we are told that a beehive grew in the lion's carcass after some time had passed, and Samson discovered this when he was going to the grape vineyards at Timnah to retrieve his betrothed, who was a Philistine woman.

Samson defeating the Lion that became Home to a Beehive after it was killed 
As the Bible tells us, Samson was known for his feats of supernatural strength as the protector of Israel from their sworn enemies the Philistines. But Samson did some unrighteous things during his time as a strong man, including marrying this Philistine woman that worshiped pagan gods, and who was therefore an offense to the God of Israel. Now, the Bible story says that Samson was unknowingly doing God's Will in selecting a Philistine woman as a wife. But God doesn't lead any of us into temptation to do His Will. Instead, God allows Satan to tempt us. So Samson did not resist the sexual temptation that the Philistine woman he chose for a wife presented, and he later made the same mistake with another beautiful Philistine woman named Delilah.

Sadly, though Samson's Philistine wife likely later regretted it, she was coerced into betraying Samson immediately after they were married by getting him to reveal the answer to a clever riddle about the lion and the bees that he gave to his wedding guests. For giving the guests the answer to Samson's riddle, Samson set his wife aside, and gave her to the best man at his wedding.

Much speculation has grown up around the possible allegorical and prophetic significance of the lion carcass with the bees and honey inside it that is presented in the story of Samson. Thinking about it after reading several possible interpretations of the lion's carcass filled with honey, the majority of which were clueless as to its real meaning, it's important to point out that the lion carcass had been rotting with decay, was likely filled with maggots and flies, and likely also smelled vile. So the fact that a swarm of bees had decided to take up residence and store their honey in a rotting lion corpse was completely unnatural. It was also a breach of Samson's Nazirite vows to touch that rotting lion's corpse, much less eat anything that was found inside the dead lion, which is an unclean animal. So, even though the honey was sweet to eat, its source was a rotting corpse.

This shows that the dead lion and the sweet honey are likely not meant to be symbols of Israel being victorious and blessing the world as some scholars have suggested, but that it actually signified the Philistines ultimately being victorious over Israel even after their defeat. The Philistines were posthumously victorious over Israel because many adherents to their pagan religion survived their defeat. So they continued to corrupt the Israelites with the ultimately bitter sweetness of their idolatry and sexual immorality.

Just as sin seems sweet until we reap the consequences for it, the bees and honey don't appear to represent blessings from God at all, but curses from God for sin that would soon be leveled against the lion-like Danite named Samson due to his unrighteous choice of a pagan Philistine wife. The 28th Chapter of the Book of Deuteronomy lists the many physical blessings given to faithful and morally upright servants of God, as well as the curses that would be divinely carried out against all unrighteous and unrepentant behavior. Ultimately though, despite being cursed by God for his disobedience, Samson did succeed in killing many Philistines during His career as a Judge and Hero of Israel. As a result, he did help to show the Philistines that the True God of Israel is more powerful than any of their false deities, and this likely led the Israelites to be more faithful to their God by keeping His Commandments.

I find this very interesting in light of the fact that the Altar to the pagan Greek deities Zeus and Athena at Pergamon now sits reconstructed inside a museum in Berlin, Germany (See the photo of the Altar at the top of this Article!). What's more, Berlin is the headquarters of the European Union, and Germany was once a part of the Merovingian Kingdom. This ancient altar, which looks like a giant throne and was dedicated to the pagan god Zeus, has literal stone carvings of winged deities that can be seen as Fallen Angels, and Giant men with serpent tails connected to the Giants or Nephilim mentioned in Genesis Chapter 6 on its base.


Altar to Zeus Reliefs Shows Greek Deities As Good And God's Servants As Evil
As I revealed in my 800-page research book on Biblical history called "The Language of God in History", and as the reliefs on the base of the Altar to Zeus show, the Ancient Greeks perverted the Biblical Record and depicted the righteous Sethites before the Great Flood, and the Shemites (i.e. Semites) after the Flood as the Fallen Angels and Nephilim that God sent the Flood of Noah to destroy! Please see the two illustrations above this paragraph for these depictions that God surely hates! It is therefore likely that this Pagan Altar, which depicts God's real servants as the evil beings that God destroyed, is the structure called Satan’s Throne in Chapter 2 of the Book of Revelation. This passage is in reference to one of the Seven Churches in Asia Minor that was called the Church in Pergamos or Pergamon:
Revelation 2:12-14 ~ “And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write, ‘These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: 13 “I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.”
This reference to the Throne of Satan in Pergamos or Pergamon and its current location in Germany suggests that the ancient location of the Frankish Kingdom of the Merovingians is linked to the coming kingdom of the Antichrist, which some believe will be formed from the nation states that now form the European Union. This makes sense from a prophetic standpoint because the Merovingians were trying to usurp Yahshua’s unique role as the Messiah of the Universe, just as the Popes in Rome were and are always doing, and just as the leaders of the West are also doing as they move further and further away from upholding biblical morality - especially as regards human and animal sexuality and the mixing of kinds that is going on with homosexuals, transgenders, and genetically modified food and animals.

In fact, the Papal religious leaders used Charlemagne to finish setting up the Holy Roman Empire after he defeated the Merovingian kingdom, and murdered all the fleeing members of the Merovingian royal family that he could capture. These Papal leaders and Charlemagne himself wore stylized representations of bees on their ceremonial clothing, and they worked together to stomp out any competition to the false Vicars of Christ on the Papal throne. This military destruction of the Merovingian Kingdom was headed by a secret priestly class of warriors and assassins that eventually came to be known as the Jesuits.

It was the primary job of these warrior priests to protect the office of the Papacy, and to preserve his authority at any cost. This military branch of the Vatican influenced the kings of various European Kingdoms until they succeeded in rallying enough armies under Charlemagne to destroy the Merovingian Kingdom. After that, the Pope placed Charlemagne on the throne as the Emperor of the newly formed Holy Roman Empire, which was totally in league with, and subject to Papal Roman authority.

The Merovingian Kingdom is often referred to by researchers of the Holy Grail as the temporary location of the royal family descended from Yahshua. If descendants of Yahshua existed in the Merovingian kingdom, the Pope's assassins would have eventually found out about it, and they would have become the sworn enemies of the Merovingian kings. So, after the Merovingian royals were slaughtered, the few carriers of Christ’s royal bloodline that were left may have found some loyal supporters to swear to protect their blood descendants from further persecution and slaughter. In fact, there are many clues that the royal Merovingian bloodline was preserved, and has continued to this day in the royal family bloodlines of the three nations that make up the United Kingdom today: Ireland, Scotland, and England.

Unfortunately, the basic premise of all those who claim that Yahshua had children often make a point of denying that He later died on the Cross, which is the central blood sacrifice whereby believers in Yahshua obtain forgiveness of sin, and the promise of everlasting life that will be given at the First Resurrection. These same researchers also deny Yahshua’s teachings that expressly go against honoring any hereditary bloodline as special over any other. Indeed, Yahshua called all the saints to love and honor those who love and follow Yahshua’s teachings as His true royal family and bloodline.

PART 1: WAS MARY MAGDALENE THE DISCIPLE KNOWN AS MARY OF BETHANY?

3-PART ARTICLE SERIES By Helena Lehman:
THE ALL-SURPASSING POWER OF THE
BLOOD AND BODY OF THE MESSIAH

PART 1 OF 3: WAS MARY MAGDALENE
THE DISCIPLE KNOWN AS MARY OF BETHANY?

Mary of Bethany Listens While Her Sister Martha Serves - Luke Ch. 10
Over the past few decades, there has been a concerted effort on the part of the Luciferian Scottish Rite Freemasons and the Illuminati followers of Baphomet - which is a code word for Mohammed and Islam, and their Moon god Allah - to undermine the Biblical foundations of Christianity and Judaism, and to redefine who Yahshua or Jesus was, what He came to accomplish during His First Advent, and what He intends to accomplish at His Second Coming. Many articles, books and movies also have challenged whether or not Yahshua even existed, and/or whether He intends to return at all.

Many of the arguments being used to undermine people’s faith in the written Word of God found in the Bible are attempting to challenge humanity’s Universal need for a Savior, as well as the unlimited saving efficacy of the body and blood of our loving “Anointed One”, Messiah or Christ Who is Yahshua. This is the body and blood that He willingly shed on the Cross to save all Creation from the devastating effects of sin, evil, and death. In this regard, the worst attack on the saving blood of Yahshua is being done by those who are focusing on His supposed literal bloodline.

In most of these attacks, the researchers attempt to prove that Yahshua’s royal bloodline descended from King David of Israel, and that it is still in existence today. Although Yahshua had several male siblings, and at least one female sibling descended from His earthly stepfather Joseph and His mother Mary or Miriam, most insist that Yahshua's family bloodline can be traced directly to Him and His direct descendants. This, they say, was via His supposed marriage to Mary Magdalene during the Wedding at Cana, which is only described in Chapter 2 of the Gospel of John.

The Wedding at Cana is where Yahshua acted just as any Israelite host of a wedding might in caring for the guests, and this may be why He performed His first recorded miracle there. This is when Yahshua turned large jugs full of plain water into the finest wine so that the Wedding guests would not have to go without. But the truth is that we are not told who the Wedding at Cana was for, and this could very well have been deliberately done by the Gospel writer to squash any idea that there is a literal bloodline of Christ, or that He has any directly blood-related family of His own somewhere on the Earth today! But even if we were to suppose this was the case, the fact is that this wedding could have been hosted for any one of Yahshua's several younger brothers, which would explain why Yahshua acted as one of the hosts of the wedding along with His earthly mother Mary and His earthly father Joseph, who would most likely have been the mysterious "master of the feast" (See John 2:1-10).

Of course, this Wedding also has a Parable-like quality to it. As such, it readily invites analogies to Yahshua's relationship with His Bride, the True Church. In this analogy, the fine wine becomes a symbol of the perfect blood Yahshua would shed to save His beloved Bride from annihilation. Indeed, there will be many saints in attendance at the Wedding of the Lamb in Heaven one day, and since Yahshua is going to become one body with His Church, the supposition is that He has reserved Himself for that future everlasting intimacy rather than cheapen it with a temporary dalliance during His first earthly ministry as a servant.

Despite the supposition that Yahshua would not have married in deference to His future role as the Bridegroom to His Spirit-filled Bride, it was a common practice for eligible Israelite men - including Rabbis and Priests - to marry before they were 30 back then, and Yahshua was 33 when He died. So this does leave the question of whether or not Yahshua was married during His First Advent ministry open to debate. What the Gospels do say about Mary is that she was a devoted disciple of Yahshua, but there is no hint in any of the Gospels or New Testament letters that Yahshua was married, or that He courted Mary Magdalene. Instead, the Gospels insist that Mary Magdalene was not only one of the devoted disciples and eye-witnesses to Yahshua’s short yet miraculous First Advent ministry in Judea and Galilee, but a witness to His crucifixion and resurrection as well.

Although many attempts have been made to hide the truth, a careful study of all the biblical texts concerning Mary Magdalene proves that she was not ever considered to be Yahshua’s wife. Nor was she ever considered to be a former prostitute. Instead, we are told that she had seven demons cast out of her, and she had the funds to help Yahshua carry our His ministry to the lost. However, the nature of these demons and the amount of funds are never disclosed, and this information therefore leaves most researchers with more questions than answers concerning who Mary Magdalene actually was, and how important she was in relation to Yahshua and His ministry. But there is more to Mary Magdalene than most researchers ever deduce, and that is because she was also known by another title in the Gospels.

In my book “The Language of God in Prophecy”, I did a careful study of all the scriptures concerning the various Marys in Yahshua’s life, and came to the startling conclusion that Mary Magdalene was likely not a former prostitute at all, but the wealthy Israelite woman and disciple of Christ known as Mary of Bethany. Here is an excerpt from that book that explains what my research revealed:

Excerpt from Chapter 10 of “The Language of God in Prophecy”:
Many Masons or former Masons have hypothesized that a messianic bloodline may have originated from the children produced through Yahshua’s secret marriage to Mary Magdalene. However, there is not one word anywhere in the Old or New Testament that refers to a marriage between our Messiah Yahshua and an ordinary woman. In fact, the only marriage that is ever attributed to Christ is His future marriage to the True Church! We therefore need to compare this occult version of Mary Magdalene to the Scriptures revealing Mary Magdalene’s real role in Christ’s life.

In Book Two, “The Language of God in Humanity,” it was shown that either Lazarus or Mary of Bethany might be “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” or “the beloved disciple.” Now, in this book, it will be shown that Mary of Bethany is the same person as Mary Magdalene. We will start by comparing Scriptures that mention a woman who anointed Yahshua with a flask of expensive perfumed anointing oil. These Scriptures appear in all four Gospels, and all of them state that the anointing was done by a woman, and took place in the town of Bethany. However, Matthew and Mark state that this woman anointed Yahshua’s head, while Luke and John indicate that she anointed Yahshua’s feet and washed His feet with her hair:
“And when Jesus (Yahshua) was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste? For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor.’ But when Jesus (Yahshua) was aware of it, He said to them, ‘Why do you trouble the woman? …For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial.’” - Matthew 26:6-12 
Matthew’s account of Yahshua’s anointing on the head is repeated almost verbatim in Mark 14:3-9. Both indicate that the anointing was in Bethany - at the house of a man named Simon, and was done on Yahshua’s head by a woman. Both also indicate that the apostles were angry with the woman for wasting money, but that Yahshua rebuked them for their ignorance of her noble cause, which was to prepare Him for burial. In addition, both seem to state that Simon was a leper. This is strange, because lepers are diseased and are unclean in the eyes of the Law. Therefore, no self-respecting Jew would dine with a leper!

In Messianic Jewish translations of this passage, the word that appears as leper in Christian translations of the New Testament has been translated as “jar merchant.” This is because some Messianic Jews believe that the Gospel of Matthew was originally written in Hebrew, and the Hebrew word for leper is very similar to the word for jar-merchant. Since they also know that the apostles, who were Jews, would not have dined with a leper, they reason that Simon was not a leper at all, but a wealthy jar merchant who lived in the rich suburb of Jerusalem called Bethany.

Now that we have determined that Matthew and Mark are speaking about the same woman and the same Simon, we need to determine if this woman is also the one anointing Yahshua in Luke and John’s Gospels. At first glance, this does not appear to be the case. This is because Luke and John both state that this woman anointed Yahshua’s feet, rather than His head. They also state that the anointing took place in the home of a Pharisee:
“Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee’s house… And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner… brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, and stood at His feet… and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil. Now when the Pharisee… saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, ‘This man, if He were a prophet, would know… what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner.’ And Jesus… said to him, ‘Simon, I have something to say to you.’” - Luke 7:36-40
Now, note here that Luke names the Pharisee as Simon. Is this merely a co-incidence, or is Luke’s Simon the Pharisee identical to Simon the Leper or Jar Merchant, who appears in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark? This is possible, since there is no reason why Simon could not be both a Pharisee and a Jar Merchant. For that matter, there is no reason why the woman could not have anointed both Yahshua’s head and His feet on the same occasion. Assuming that all four Gospels are eyewitness accounts of these events, the differences between them can easily be attributed to the individual personalities of the eyewitnesses, and their differing sense of what was important to emphasize.

Now, though three of the four eyewitness accounts of this anointing failed to identify the woman who anointed Yahshua, the writer of the Gospel of John plainly tells us that she was Mary of Bethany, and mentions this fact twice:
“Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.” - John 11:1-2
“Then… Jesus (Yahshua) came to Bethany, where Lazarus was… whom He had raised from the dead. There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. Then Mary took… costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus (Yahshua), and wiped His feet with her hair…” - John 12:1-3  
Due to the overlap in all four Gospel accounts of this anointing by a woman, we can be fairly certain that it was Mary of Bethany alone who anointed Yahshua with fragrant oil, and not three different women. If this is true, then what do these parallel accounts tell us about Mary’s character? Though three Gospel writers are silent about Mary of Bethany’s character, Luke describes this woman as a sinner  (Luke 7:37). Nonetheless, Yahshua indicated that, by her loving actions, this sinful woman had proven herself to be repentant and deserving of much forgiveness (Luke 7:44-48). This fact links Mary of Bethany with Mary Magdalene, who also was considered a sinner.

Both Luke and Mark’s Gospel tell us that Yahshua cast seven demons out of Mary Magdalene (Mark 16:9, Luke 8:2). Since Mary Magdalene was once demon-possessed, this implies that Mary had participated in sinful occult activities before she was exorcised, and subsequently saved - allowing her to become one of Yahshua’s most devoted disciples. Since Mary Magdalene and Mary of Bethany also shared the same name, and both were among Yahshua’s intimate acquaintances, their association can be proven to be far more than tenuous.”
End of Book Excerpt

Those who are familiar with the Gospel stories about Yahshua remember Mary of Bethany as the sister of Martha and Lazarus - with Lazarus being the disciple that Yahshua miraculously raised from the dead, as detailed in the Gospel of John, Chapter 11. That Chapter, as well as Chapter 12 of the Gospel of John quoted above in the book excerpt clearly reveals that Mary of Bethany was the woman who poured expensive oil on Yahshua’s feet and then wiped it off with her hair.

Mary of Bethany Anoints Yahshua's Feet With Perfume, Luke Ch. 7, John Ch. 12
These scriptures identify Mary of Bethany with the unnamed woman in Luke Chapter 7 who “was” (i.e. had been) a sinner, and who wiped Yahshua’s feet with her hair while He was reclining at a banquet table, and preaching to a man named Simon and his friends, who all belonged to the religious sect known as the Pharisees. In Chapter 10 of Luke’s Gospel, we are also told that Mary of Bethany loved to sit, listen and learn at Yahshua’s feet as He was preaching about the Kingdom of God:
Luke 10:38-42 ~ “Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Yahshua's feet and heard His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.” 41 And Yahshua answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
This scripture concerning Martha and Mary's relationship with Yahshua is depicted in the illustration used at the beginning of this article,and it suggest that Lazarus and his two sisters, who lived in the affluent suburb of Jerusalem called Bethany, were among Yahshua or Jesus’ wealthiest and most beloved disciples. Luke’s Gospel also states that Mary and many other women helped to fund Yahshua’s First Advent ministry. In fact, their donations were given in gratitude after Yahshua lovingly healed these women of demonic possession and other physical sicknesses and maladies. This is clearly stated in the Gospel of Luke:
Luke 8:1-3 ~ “Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, 2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities - Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons, 3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him from their substance.”
Here, we are told that Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Suzanna and many other women provided for Yahshua out of their substance, or wealth. What is not stated, but is clearly implied by all of the aforementioned scriptures concerning Mary of Bethany and her siblings is that they were dearly loved by Yahshua. This is made clear because, of the twelve apostles and numerous disciples of Yahshua, we are only given a deeply personal view into the everyday lives of these three disciples from the town of Bethany. Indeed, no other disciples are as carefully signaled out as Lazarus, Martha and Mary of Bethany in any of the four Gospels or twenty-two epistles found in the New Testament.

Intriguingly, according to clues in all four Gospels, Mary Magdalene and Mary of Bethany shared the following traits: First of all, they were both named Mary. Secondly, they both were considered to be reformed sinners that were considered to be unworthy of association by self-righteous people. Thirdly both women were closely acquainted with Yahshua, and were His devoted disciples from early on in His ministry. Fourth, both of these female disciples of Yahshua came from wealthy families, and it is clear that they both supported His ministry, and His claims to be the Messiah of Israel. So, though it is not completely certain, there are many clues that these two women named Mary were one and the same person, and the designation "Magdalene" may have been used to disguise this fact for an important reason known only to God and the Gospel writers at the time. I will touch upon the reasons for this in Part 2 of this article.

So far, we have established that Mary Magdalene could be the same person as Mary of Bethany, who loved to listen to Yahshua preach, and anointed and then washed Yahshua’s feet with her hair after He had forgiven her, and had cast seven demons out of her. We have also learned that she supported Yahshua's ministry with her own funds. In part 2, we will examine why Mary Magdalene was considered to be the wife of Yahshua, and why her womb was considered to be the "Holy Grail" that perpetuated the royal bloodline of Yahshua for some nefarious future purpose, which may in fact be to legitimize the claims of the Antichrist of antichrists.

After all, the sad fact is that this false Christ, who is called "the man of sin" and "the son of perdition" in Scripture, is going to rule the world during the Great Tribulation, and he will falsely claim to be God. Even worse, billions of people who are not well-versed in Scripture, and are not born again by the Holy Spirit will believe this Antichrist's claims, and they will perish because of it.

AUTUMN FEASTS OF ISRAEL ARE THIS OCTOBER 2018!

Dreamscape of Jerusalem with Temple to Yahweh at
Feast of Tabernacles - Zechariah 14:16-17 (Click To Enlarge)
Did you know that, during the Millennial Kingdom, all of the nations will be called to send delegations to keep the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem, or their nations will receive no rain? Well, according to the prophet Zechariah, this will indeed be the case:
Zechariah 14:16-17 ~ “And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King... on them there will be no rain.”
I've quoted this Scripture on the above photographic dreamscape of Jerusalem, which I altered to contain a replica of the Second Temple as a representation of the Millennial Kingdom Temple where the Dome of the Rock usually appears. Someday, there will be a Temple to Yahweh in Jerusalem that fits the description of the future Temple that is described in the Book of Ezekiel, Chapters 40 and 41. At that time, everyone will come up to worship God and celebrate the Autumn Harvest Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem.

Now, though most believers are anxious to go Home to be with Yahshua right this minute, it makes sense that the Rapture would come AFTER President Donald Trump reveals his Middle East Peace Plan at the United Nations General Assembly, which will meet on Tuesday, September 25th, 2018. Furthermore, since the Autumn Feasts of Israel should take place AFTER the beginning of Autumn, which was September 22nd this year, we really could be going home between the Feast of Trumpets beginning on the evening of Wednesday, October 10th, 2018 and continuing through October 11th and 12th, and the end of the week-long Feast of Tabernacles, which will begin on October 25th and end on the evening of November 2nd, 2018.

This is when the Autumn Feasts should have been commemorated by the Jews, NOT in September before the Autumn Equinox, in what was technically Summer! Also, keep in mind that the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur falls five days prior to the Feast of Tabernacles. The Day of Atonement is when the names of the righteous are recorded into God's Book of Life, and the names of the unworthy are removed, and it will fall on October 20th, 2018, which begins on the evening of October 19th. Five days later, we come to the week-long Autumn Harvest Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot. The first Day of Tabernacles will begin on the evening of October 24th and continue through October 25th, 2018, and the week of this Feast will end on the evening of November 2nd.

Since Yahshua was likely born on the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur in 3 BC, it would be awesome if He returned for His Bride on the same Feast Day. After all, just as the wicked have their names removed from the Book of Life on the Day of Atonement, and they are separated from the congregations of the Righteous in the eyes of God, the Rapture is a separation of the righteous Wise Virgins from the unrepentant Foolish Virgins (a.k.a. the Laodicean Church), who will be left behind to suffer through the Great Tribulation due to their lukewarm response to Yahshua, the Holy Spirit, and Yahshua's Commandments.

Since no one knows the exact day or hour, but only the season of Yahshua's return - which it is obvious we are in due to all the heavenly and earthly signs that have been fulfilled - we must remain vigilant at all times, and continue to keep watch. As we watch for Yahshua's return, we must seek our Messiah in daily prayer, and worship our Heavenly Father and His Son in the Spirit of Truth until He comes for us. In the meantime, please take a look at the illustrations for the Signs in the Heavens on the October 11th Feast of Trumpets in my previous article about the Autumn Feasts of Israel, and the possible timing of the Rapture:

HEAVENLY SIGNS THAT THE
RAPTURE COULD OCCUR DURING 
THE 2018 AUTUMN FEASTS!


KEEP LOOKING UP!
OUR RAPTURE REDEMPTION MAY BE NEAR!
MARANATHA YAHSHUA!

UNDERSTANDING THE DARKNESS AND DESTRUCTION OF THE SEALS, TRUMPETS AND BOWLS OF GOD'S WRATH

The Great Destruction and Darkness of the Great Tribulation
Recently, many believers have been talking about some old prophecies made by several 19th Century Catholic women who were known as prophets. These prophecies state that there will be three days of darkness just before or during the Great Tribulation. Some of these prophecies are recalled on the following page on the Catholic "America Needs Fatima" Site, which commemorates Catholic apparitions of Mary and prophecies made by Catholics:

The Three Days of Darkness and
Prophecies of Latter Times

Before I continue, please note that I do not support the Roman Catholic Church in any way since they teach many doctrines of demons, including gross idolatry and salvation by works. But many Protestant Christians have been vouching for the validity of these End Time Bible Prophecies. As a result, I have been asked by some concerned Christians to give my view of this prophesied End Time plague of darkness, and I am writing this article in response.

I also want to say that I am NOT in any way trying to instill fear or worry in believers with a review of these plagues of darkness because I firmly believe that all born again saints will be taken up to Heaven in the Rapture before God's Wrath is poured out on the Earth. So we who are saved, justified and sanctified in Yahshua Ha Mashiach or Jesus the Christ need not fear these upcoming events of the Great Tribulation!

Now, let's explore these times of darkness connected to God's Wrath. Of the prophecies cited on the linked-to page on the "America Needs Fatima" Web Site, the ones given to Catholic prophetess Anna Maria Taigi of 19th Century Italy are the most interesting. Two excerpts from her writing on the 3 days of darkness state the following:
“God will send two punishments: one will be in the form of wars, revolutions and other evils; it shall originate on earth. The other will be sent from Heaven. There shall come over the whole earth an intense darkness lasting three days and three nights. Nothing can be seen, and the air will be laden with pestilence which will claim mainly, but not only, the enemies of religion. It will be impossible to use any man-made lighting during this darkness, except blessed candles. He, who out of curiosity, opens his window to look out, or leaves his home, will fall dead on the spot. During these three days, people should remain in their homes, pray the Rosary and beg God for mercy.” 
“All the enemies of the Church, whether known or unknown, will perish over the whole earth during that universal darkness, with the exception of a few whom God will soon convert. The air shall be infected by demons who will appear under all sorts of hideous forms.”
According to these prophecies, no man-made lighting (with the exception of specially blessed candles) will work during the 3 days of darkness, which will kill all the enemies of the Church with pestilences and demons that will infect the atmosphere of the Earth. The prophetess also said that the churches would be closed, and priests and preachers would go into hiding for a short time. Though all of this is certainly possible during the Great Tribulation, we need to examine Scripture to see what may or may not be true about the 3 days of darkness.

Although I do not see great support for a specific belief in exactly three days of darkness in the End Time prophecies of the Bible, there are definitely going to be three plagues of darkness near to the beginning, in the middle, and at the very end of the Great Tribulation that will bring a swift and likely terrifying death to many people on the Earth. These terror-laden periods of darkness will occur when our Father God punishes the wicked upon the Earth by pouring out His Wrath. The first record of a time of darkness during the Great Tribulation comes with a darkening of the Sun and Moon when the Sixth Seal is opened, and God's Wrath officially begins to be poured out on the Earth:
Revelation 6:12-14 (NKJV) ~ “I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.”
Though it is often thought that the Sun and Moon being darkened at the time of the Sixth Seal are due to eclipses, the smoke and ash suspended in the air from fires and volcanoes can also darken the Sun and Moon, and it is my belief that the description of the events of the Sixth Seal details a catastrophic shift of the Earth's crust that will literally move the continents and islands into new locations. Although this certainly could take place over a period of 3 days, my guess is that the darkness caused by the massive numbers of volcanoes that will be erupting all over the world will last for far longer than three days.

The second reference to darkness is at the Fifth Trumpet, when the smoke from the bottomless pit obscures the light of the Sun and Moon, and millions of locust like demons come out of this smoking pit to attack and afflict the wicked (See Revelation 9:1-3). I firmly believe that this smoke is the smoke of the numerous volcanoes that will be set off from the Sixth Seal Pole Shift and Crustal Displacement, as well as from one primary pit-like volcanic caldera that is called the "bottomless pit" because it feeds directly off of the continuously flowing magma streams that move in a circular pattern around the globe, and deep within the Earth - below the Earth's crust, which is literally floating on a bed of molten magma.

Caldera Line Running Beneath the Snake River Region of Wyoming

This caldera  could specifically be the huge caldera powering the geysers and hot springs of Yellowstone National Park in the Northwestern United States. I've included images here that show that the Yellowstone Caldera is connected to the magma flowing beneath the Earth, and that it is the most active in a chain of mostly inactive calderas that have moved from west to east within the path of the state of Wyoming's Snake River. Viewing these diagrams, it makes me certain that there is a prophetic significance to the fact that the river running through this region is identified with a serpent, which Lucifer used as a disguise when he tempted Eve to disobey God. In any case, Yellowstone National Park would certainly be a great place to hide the bottomless pit within an area of unsurpassed scenic beauty - just as the Devil disguises himself as an Angel of Light.

Diagram Showing the Magma Beneath the Yellowstone Caldera
The third reference to darkness during the Great Tribulation will be at the time of the Fifth Bowl Judgment, and it is the most interesting and potentially terrifying of the three. At that time, the Apostle John the Revelator describes an indeterminate period of great darkness that will come after the Sun scorches the entire Earth with great heat:
Revelation 16:9-11 (NKJV) ~ “And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory. 10 Then the Fifth Angel poured out his (Fifth) bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. 11 They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.”
Though we don't know how long these times of literal darkness will last, the third period of darkness cited above will cause severe pain. This pain could be in reference to the fact that people suffer from many deficiency diseases including Rickets when they don't have enough Vitamin D to stay healthy. Vitamin D is a hormone that is found in certain foods and is also produced in the skin when it is bathed by sunlight, and one of the symptoms of a serious deficiency is severe PAIN in the bones and joints.

These three End Time periods of Great Darkness appear to be a greater reflection of the 3 Days of Darkness judgment that befell Ancient Egypt. That was a darkness that was so dark that it could be felt (See Exodus 10:21-29). Perhaps this was because the Sun is the Earth's source of warmth and light, and without it, the Earth would become extremely cold very quickly. The possibly freezing cold accompanying this darkness would definitely have been felt, and would have zapped the energy out of the Egyptians as they tried to stay warm.

The 3 Days of Darkness on Egypt was the Ninth plague of the Ten that happened when the Pharaoh would not free the Ancient Israelites from slavery so that they could go out into the wilderness, and worship God on His Holy Mountain. The coming times of darkness when the Sixth Seal is opened and the Fifth Bowl is poured out will happen after the Rapture, and it's possible that the Sun scorching the Earth with great heat at the time of the Fourth Bowl Judgment is actually referring to the Sun in our Solar System exhibiting its death throes - when it could expand into a Red Giant star.

Artist's Depiction of a White Dwarf Leaching Matter off of a Red Giant Star
If so, then the Fifth Bowl of God's Wrath may be the result of when this Red Giant star collapses - possibly forming a White Dwarf star that will not throw enough light to heat and light the Earth. If so, this could well be the cause of the great darkness that will cause great physical pain from Vitamin D deficiency, as well as the extreme cold all over the Earth that will ensue, bringing about Ice Age conditions all over the world. If the Sun becomes a dying Red Giant star, and then is reduced to a White Dwarf, this could be the physical cause for the Fourth and Fifth Bowls of God's Wrath. If this is the case, it also suggests that the duration of these Bowl Judgments could last much longer than a few days, and may, in fact, take many months to occur.

Could it be that our Sun will die before the restoration of the Earth and the Cosmos during Christ's Millennial Kingdom? Could the literal death of our Sun be a reflection of God's withdrawal from the Earth, and His judgment of all the inhabitants of the world just before Christ's Second Coming? Will Yahshua reignite our Sun at the time of His Triumphal return with all His angels and Saints? The prophetic words in Isaiah 24 and Isaiah 30 quoted below offer some clues as to the fate of the Earth, the Sun and the Moon before Yahshua's return:

Isaiah 24:21-23 (NKJV) ~
“It shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord will punish on high the host of exalted ones,
And on the earth the kings of the earth.
22 They will be gathered together,
As prisoners are gathered in the pit,
And will be shut up in the prison;
After many days they will be punished.
23 Then the moon will be disgraced
And the sun ashamed;
For the Lord of hosts will reign
On Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
And before His elders, gloriously.”

Red Giants Can Become White Dwarfs (Click To Enlarge)
Referring to the verses in Isaiah 24 quoted above, could the kings be punished by being trapped underground after the Great Earthquake of Revelation 16:17-19, just after the Sun in our Solar System possibly becomes a Red Giant, and then collapses into a White Dwarf? The verses in Isaiah 30 quoted below suggest that this may indeed be the case:

Isaiah 30:25-27 (NKJV) ~
“There will be on every high mountain
And on every high hill
Rivers and streams of waters,
In the day of the great slaughter,
When the towers fall (as all the world's cities are toppled
by a great earthquake? See Rev. 16:17-19, quoted below).
26 Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun,
And the light of the sun will be sevenfold,
As the light of seven days, (the Sun turning into a 
Red Giant surely could cause it to be 7 times brighter
as it expands and possibly incinerates Mercury!)
In the day that the Lord binds up the bruise of His people
And heals the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name of the Lord comes from afar,
Burning with His anger,
And His burden is heavy;
His lips are full of indignation,
And His tongue like a devouring fire.”

Both Isaiah 24 and Isaiah 30 may be referring to the events that will take place on the Earth during the Bowl Judgments described in Revelation Chapter 16. In particular, they may be referring to events tied to the Great Earthquake of Revelation 16:17-19, when the seventh and final Bowl of God's Wrath is poured out on the Earth, and all the cities of the nations will be destroyed as the crust or face of the Earth is violently shaken and broken apart:
“Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. 19 Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.”
The prophecy in Isaiah 13 also speaks of the terrifying events of the Day of the Lord, saying that the Sun and Moon will not give their light. This could be the case if the Sun has collapsed into a White Dwarf by then. As the Sun collapses, it will likely fill the space between it and the Earth with clouds of gas and dust that will obscure and hide the light of the stars in the constellations surrounding the Earth:

Isaiah 13:9-11 (NKJV) ~
“Behold, the day of the Lord comes,
Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger,
To lay the land desolate;
And He will destroy its sinners from it.
10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations
Will not give their light;
The sun will be darkened in its going forth,
And the moon will not cause its light to shine.
11 “I will punish the world for its evil,
And the wicked for their iniquity;
I will halt the arrogance of the proud,
And will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.”

What I've done in this short article is make some plausible suggestions as to why people are prophesying about three days of darkness on the Earth. Although it's uncertain, it's possible that these three days are actually three years when the Sun will turn into a Red Giant, and then will collapse into a White Dwarf surrounded by a gaseous cloud of dust that will bring about months or even years of darkness. If so, this would account for a long time period during the Great Tribulation that will be a very terrifying time to live on the Earth. Sadly, if this occurs, many people and animals not hidden underground will die because the entire surface of the Earth will be a blackened, burnt, desolate, barren, and frozen ice world that will no longer be able to support life at all unless Yahshua eventually restores it, which He will have to before He sets up His earthly Kingdom.

In any case, I am grateful that those of us who love and follow Yahshua will not be here to experience these terrifying events because we will be taken up to Heaven in the Rapture. After we go up, all born again saints will be safely ensconced at the heavenly Wedding Banquet of the Lamb of God, Who is Yahshua. Meanwhile, the Earth will be racked with violent earthquakes, likely causing the Earth's crust to move and collapse as the entire planet reels to and fro in space like a drunkard:

Isaiah 24:19-20 (NKJV) ~
“The earth is violently broken,
The earth is split open,
The earth is shaken exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard,
And shall totter like a hut;
Its transgression shall be heavy upon it,
And it will fall, and not rise again.”

Yes, in the near future, the Earth is going to fall into great distress and darkness that all the unsaved inhabitants of the Earth that have rejected God and His free gift of Salvation will experience as they die off in great waves of destruction. After the devastation of the world is complete, Yahshua will come again, and He will then move to restore the Earth - and possibly the Sun - in preparation for the setting up of His Millennial Kingdom on the Earth. Remember that Yahshua created the Universe for His Heavenly Father, so it will not be hard for Him to restore our Sun and the Earth!

If you haven't accepted Yahshua as your Savior or Messiah, you will be left behind to experience all the death and destruction that God's Wrath will cause, and it is likely that you will die a horribly painful death in one of God's many coming Judgments! So if you don't want to be left behind to suffer through the Wrath of God, please accept the fact that you are a sinner, repent of your sins now, and ask Yahshua into your life and heart so that you will be saved to obtain everlasting life, and your sins will be forgiven as the Holy Spirit enters your heart to guide and direct you, and seals you as a born again saint that will inherit everlasting life with God.

Maranatha, and God bless you all!

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE COVERED UNDER THE BLOOD OF YAHSHUA - Or What The Blood Of Yahshua (Jesus) Does For Every Born Again Believer

John 6:53-56 Hints That Yahshua's Flesh and Blood Are Found In His Word Via His Spirit
CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE
I did this independent Bible Study concerning the Royal and Holy Blood of Yahshua to clearly show why Yahshua needed to shed His precious and perfect Blood on the Cross for our sins. In this study, I identified three clear and everlasting benefits that were opened up to believers when Yahshua shed His flawless and healing blood. These benefits are found in what His blood does for those who have been born again by His Spirit, and who love and follow Him when in the counsel of that same Spirit.

These Three Benefits - Which Are Only For Those Chosen By God To Receive Them - Are:
1.) His Blood Was Shed To Purchase Our Redemption And Open The Way For Believers To Be Justified (i.e. Forgiven Of All Sin And Made To Appear Righteous Through Christ) Under The New Blood Covenant Of Grace Cut On The Cross And Commemorated Via The Ritual Of The Lord's Supper, Of Which We Should Not Partake Until We Examine Ourselves And Judge Ourselves As Worthy. 
2.) Eating and Drinking In Yahshua's Body And Blood Found In His Covenant Laws Or Commandments Feed Our Souls And Spirits, Marks Our Adoption As Sons And Daughters Into The Family Of God, And Gives Us Everlasting Life So That We No Longer Fear Mortal Death.
3.) His Blood - Shed From His Stripes Or Wounds To Cover Over Our Sins - Heals And Strengthens Our Mortal Bodies When We Judge Ourselves And Conform To His Will Or Commandments.
To show the truth of these three benefits given to believers under the Royal Blood of Yahshua (which makes us hereditary royal heirs of God's Kingdom when we are covered by it through belief in and love of Yahshua - See 1 Peter 2:9), I have found all of the pertinent Scriptures concerning the efficacy and purpose of the shedding of Yahshua precious blood, and I have quoted them below each stated benefit:

1.) His Blood Was Shed To Purchase Our Redemption And Open The Way For Believers To Be Justified (i.e. Forgiven Of All Sin And Made To Appear Righteous Through Christ) Under The New Blood Covenant Of Grace Cut On The Cross And Commemorated Via The Ritual Of The Lord's Supper, Of Which We Should Not Partake Until We Examine Ourselves And Judge Ourselves As Worthy:

Mark 14:22-25 ~ The Ritual of the Lord's Supper Is Inaugurated: “And as they were eating, Jesus (Yahshua) took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” 23 Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 And He said to them, “This is My blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many. 25 Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.””

Luke 22:19-20 ~ “And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’ 20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the New Covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.’ ”

Acts 20:27-28 ~ “For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God. 28 Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.”

Romans 3:21-26 ~ “But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ (i.e. Yahshua the Anointed Messiah), to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (i.e. Our Anointed One or Messiah Yahshua), 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus (Yahshua).”

Romans 5:8-10 ~ “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.”

Hebrews 9:13-15 ~ “For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.”

Ephesians 2:8-13 ~ “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus (Messiah Yahshua) for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. 11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus (Messiah Yahshua) you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.”


2.) Eating and Drinking In Yahshua's Body And Blood Found In His Covenant Laws Or Commandments Feed Our Souls And Spirits, Marks Our Adoption As Sons And Daughters Into The Family Of God, And Gives Us Everlasting Life So That We No Longer Fear Mortal Death (NOTE: This Is Only For Those Chosen By God To Receive It): 

John 6: 43-65 ~ “Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”

52 The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?” 53 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. 56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58 This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”

These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum. 60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?” 61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus (Yahshua) knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. 65 And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”

Ephesians 1:3-14 ~ “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (Adonai Yahshua the Messiah), who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ (Yahshua the Anointed One or Messiah) to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.

7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. 11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.

13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”

1 Colossians 1:9-20 ~ “For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.”

Hebrews 2:10-15 ~ “For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 saying:

“I will declare Your name to My brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.”
13 And again: “I will put My trust in Him.”
And again: “Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”

14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”


3.) His Blood - Shed From His Stripes Or Wounds To Cover Over Our Sins - Heals And Strengthens Our Mortal Bodies When We Judge Ourselves And Conform To His Will Or Commandments: 

We Judge Ourselves By The Flesh Or Bread 
And Blood Or Wine Of God's Word
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 ~ The Ritual of the Lord's Supper Brings Blessing Or Judgment!:  “For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus (Adonai Yahshua) on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the New Covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. 27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.”

1 Peter 1:13-23 ~ “Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ (Yahshua the Messiah); 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

17 And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ (the Anointed One), as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you 21 who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. 22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, 23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever...”

1 Peter 2:20-25 ~ “But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. 21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

22 “Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;

23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. 25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”

CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM THIS STUDY: 

From this study of the most important passages concerning the need for, and the efficacy of the Royal Blood of Yahshua, I learned that we truly are blessed by the blood covering of Yahshua's sacrifice on the Cross with redemption from, and forgiveness of all sin. Through God's Unmerited Favor or Grace, we receive immediate Justification so that we are seen as righteous before God's throne, and we therefore can directly approach God our Heavenly Father with our petitions without the need of a priest or pastor.

I also learned that we are called to undertake our own Sanctification, through which we are called to judge ourselves through careful introspection, and work out our salvation with fear and trembling before the throne of God (Philippians 2:12-13). This can only be done when we are in constant prayer, and draw near to Yahshua through His Holy Spirit, Who directs us to use our spiritual gifts to do good works on behalf of God's people.

Finally, I learned that Yahshua's Blood is meant to heal our blood or DNA, and to give us vibrant health (even in this life!) when we exercise our faith, as well as guarantee our future everlasting perfection after our coming resurrection from the dead. However, this same blood covering can become a curse to those believers who are not actively pursuing their own Sanctification.

In fact, this reluctance on the part of lukewarm or apostate believers who refuse to work out their salvation can actually lead to the sickness and disease of their bodies. If not corrected, this reluctance to seek sanctification before God by keeping His commandments, and heeding the lead of the Holy Spirit can lead to the premature death of those who are disobedient, and do not judge their actions and deeds in the light of God's commandments.

Sanctification can therefore only progress in believers who are studying God's Word - and specifically His Moral Law - to see where they have gone astray. This can then lead to further Sanctification as believers ask God the Father to lead them to correct their mistakes, and to become more like Yahshua in action, word and deed via the prompting of His indwelling Spirit.

I found this study to be very enlightening, and I hope that it will prove to be a blessing to all of you, especially those of you who are inexplicably sick, and are seeking full healing and restoration from God.
