A DEN OF THIEVES
Today is the 11th
day of the 12th month on our Maker’s restored calendar.
In yesterday’s video I pointed out that we were 300 days from the 6th
day of the last 7 days of His wrath.
This means that today we are 300 days from the last
day of His showing the inhabitants of the world His hot indignation.
The testimony of His
word places a great deal of significance upon Him telling you to stop stealing from Him at this time.
Today I will show you how His doing so parallels His only begotten Son telling us;
Matthew
21:13
It is written, “MY HOUSE” IS TO BE CALLED THE HOUSE OF PRAYER BUT YOU HAVE MADE IT A DEN OF THIEVES.
Understanding what Yehshua was referring to when He said this is simply
a matter of letting the Most High’s word testify to what was going on when He said this.
And
when this took place is also very significant to the here and the now.
I will show you how this
ties into a prophecy that the Most High gave to us through His servant Isaiah in a bit.
The
previous verse tells us;
Matthew 21:12
AND “THE WORD OF ELOHIYM” CAME INTO THE TEMPLE (referring to YEHWEH
Elohiym’s house) AND HE CAST OUT ALL THEM THAT BOUGHT AND SOLD IN THE TEMPLE AND HE OVERTURNED THE TABLES OF THE MONEYCHANGERS AND THE SEATS OF THEM THAT SOLD DOVES.
The testimony
of YEHWEH’s word testifies that this event took place on the 10th day of the 1st month.
We can know this because it took place on the day that Yehshua road into Jerusalem on the ass’s colt.
How we can know that He road into Jerusalem on this day is because YEHWEH’s word tells us;
Exodus 12:3
Speak to all of the assembly of Israel,
saying, IN THE 10th
DAY OF THIS (1st) MONTH they shall take to them every man a lamb according to the house of their fathers,
a lamb for a house:
The Most High’s Passover substitution did not
ride into Jerusalem on the wrong day.
In lieu of this, what was going on in His house on
the day that Yehshua rebuked them (on the 10th day of the 1st month) was their rebellious attempt of
obeying the following instructions;
Deuteronomy 14
22
YOU SHALL DILIGENTLY TITHE
(tithe, tithe) OF ALL THE INCREASE OF YOUR SEED THAT THE FIELD BRINGS FORTH YEAR BY YEAR.
23 And
you shall eat before YEHWEH Elohiym’s face IN THE PLACE THAT
HE WILL CHOOSE TO PLACE HIS NAME THERE, THE 10th OF YOUR GRAIN AND OF YOUR WINE AND OF
YOUR OIL AND THE FIRSTBORN OF YOUR HERDS AND OF YOUR FLOCKS IN ORDER THAT YOU WILL LEARN TO FEAR YEHWEH ELOHIYM IN ALL OF YOUR DAYS.
24 And
if the pathway is increased from you so that you are not able to carry it OR IF YOU ARE REMOVED FAR AWAY FROM THE PLACE THAT YEHWEH ELOHIYM CHOOSES TO PLACE HIS NAME THERE WHEN YEHWEH ELOHIYM HAS BLESSED YOU:
25 Then “GIVE” (your tithes) AS MONEY and bind the money
in your hand AND GO TO THE PLACE THAT YEHWEH ELOHIYM HAS CHOSEN:
26 And “GIVE THE MONEY FOR ALL THAT
YOUR LIFE DESIRES”, for cattle or for the
flock or for wine or for strong drink or for all that your life desires and you shall eat there before YEHWEH Elohiym’s
face AND YOU SHALL REJOICE, YOU AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD.
This verse shows that
there are two different tithes because His word tells us that we are to also give a tithe or 10% of our increase to His servants
the Levites.
And the next verse confirms this;
27 AND YOU SHALL NOT FORSAKE THE LEVITE THAT IS IN YOUR GATES because he has no portion of the inheritance amongst you.
28
YOU SHALL PUT IT IN YOUR GATES
AND AT THE END OF 3 YEARS you shall go this
year with all of the tithe of your increase:
29 And the Levite, because he no portion of the inheritance amongst you, and the stranger and the fatherless
and the widow that are in your gates shall go with you and eat and be satisfied SO THAT YEHWEH ELOHIYM WILL BLESS YOU IN ALL OF THE WORK OF YOUR HAND THAT YOU DO.
This part of His instructions started off in verse
22 by telling you to diligently tithe your increase of each year.
Therefore what is meant
by these instructions for the 3rd year besides it being for those who are a great distance from His house?
The following verse in the next chapter begins His instructions for the 7th year, the year of the release.
This 3rd year and 4 years later on the 7th year parallel His water of separation and His touching
the dead statute that He has magnified at this time.
And His instructions for this statute parallels
the here and the now and His Nazarite vow and His plea for you to separate yourselves unto Him from even touching the dead
in a remarkable way.
In chapter 16 He continues these instructions by telling us;
Deuteronomy 16
16 THREE
TIMES in a year all males shall appear before YEHWEH
Elohiym’s face IN THE PLACE THAT HE WILL CHOOSE; IN THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD and in the
Feast of Weeks (the Feast of Sevens) and in the Feast
of Temporary Dwellings (the Feast of Huts) AND THEY SHALL NOT APPEAR BEFORE YEHWEH’S FACE EMPTY…
17 …BUT WITH THE GIFT OF EACH MAN’S HAND
ACCORDING TO THE BLESSING THAT YEHWEH HAS GIVEN TO HIM.
His Feast of Unleavened Bread follows the Passover night.
It begins on the 15th
day of the 1st month.
Therefore it follows the 10th day of the 1st
month.
Therefore when Yehshua turned over the tables of the money changers and the seats of those
that sold doves and such they were in YEHWEH’s house making the exchanges for this Feast.
This
was wrong for them to do in His house and they should have been doing so in another location, but did exchanging money and
selling doves and such make them thieves?
No, yet Yehshua said to them;
Matthew 21:13
It is written, “MY HOUSE” IS TO BE CALLED THE HOUSE OF PRAYER BUT YOU HAVE MADE IT A DEN OF THIEVES.
A definition of a thief is someone that steals, not someone who does
some other sin or some other blasphemy.
So why did Yehshua use this particular time to
tell them that they were thieves?
It is because those who were there exchanging their money
with these money exchangers had come to this Feast in hypocrisy and in vein.
And they were
exchanging their money to offer up their tithes and offerings to rebellious servants of the Most High and to therefore rejoice
before His face in hypocrisy.
In tithing and offering up to rebellious pretenders they were stealing
from the Most High.
Not only were they stealing His tithes and offerings that are to be
given to His true servants, the Levites that serve Him in truth, they were stealing His internal heritage from Him as well.
They were supposed to go to this Feast as representatives of His eternal heritage.
Yet
they came before His face as blind sheep that had gone astray from being the sheep of His word.
And
the money changers and such that were facilitating their doing so were stealing from Him as well, just like the false shepherds
of Israel who receive the people’s tithes and offerings are also stealing from Him.
These
things are the reason why Yehshua turned over their tables and such and called them thieves.
And
these things are why He has sent His 2nd witness at this time calling you thieves as well.
And this is why the word of the Most High’s mouth tells us;
Malachi (My messenger)
3
8 WILL A MAN STEAL FROM ELOHIYM? BECAUSE YOU HAVE STOLEN FROM ME.
But you say, where have we stolen from Elohiym?
His answer;
WITH YOUR TITHES
AND YOUR OFFERINGS.
9 Therefore I WILL CURSE YOU WITH A BITTER CURSE because “ALL OF THE HEATHENS” (referring to all of
the heathen descendants of Israel {that are scattered at this time} that He spoke of in His Ezekiel chapter 44 son of man
prophecy that are strangers to Him) HAVE STOLEN FROM ME.
10 BRING YOU ALL OF YOUR TITHES INTO THE DEPOSITORY “OF MY HOUSE” SO
THAT THERE WILL BE MEAT “IN
MY HOUSE”. TEST ME NOW WITH
THIS, says YEHWEH of hosts, IF I WILL NOT OPEN WIDE “THE WINDOWS” OF HEAVEN TO YOU AND POUR OUT A BLESSING THAT THERE WILL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGH FOR IT.
11 AND I WILL REBUKE THE DEVOURER FOR YOUR SAKE and he will not destroy the fruits of your ground NEITHER
WILL YOUR VINE CAST HER FRUIT in the field before
her time, says YEHWEH of hosts.
12 And all of you heathens WILL BE BLESSED BECAUSE YOU WILL BE A DESIRED LAND, says YEHWEH of hosts.
In past videos I have read this verse; And all of the heathens WILL CALL YOU BLESSED BECAUSE YOU WILL BE A DESIRED LAND, says YEHWEH of hosts.
However at a closer look
at the Hebrew text shows that what is now upon the screen is a more accurate translation.
The
word for call as in to call someone something is not in the Hebrew text of His word in this verse and I did not catch this
until today.
Do you want to be blessed by the Most High or do you
want to be cursed by Him?
This prophecy that He sent forth from His mouth gives
you the choice.
Do you think that He did not say these words?
Do you think
that they instruct you to bring your tithes and your offerings to whosoever you see fit to bring them to?
“His messenger” prophecy is the last prophecy that He gave to us before He sent His servant John the
Baptist and His only begotten Son upon the scene.
Most so-called scholars acknowledge that He gave
us this prophecy about 400 years prior to sending His only begotten Son.
A while back in the “Test
me now in this” video I said;
“Perhaps it was 430 years (before this) exactly; at least I believe that it was because He is perfect in synchronizing
details like this into His timeline” (and also into the testimony of His word).
Or perhaps it was exactly 400 years before He sent His Son to our ancestors?
Both
of these scenarios would match the numbers that He gave to us in association with His 1st exodus.
When Yehshua said it is written; MY HOUSE IS TO BE A HOUSE OF PRAYER, He was referring to
Isaiah chapter 56.
Concerning this prophecy the Most High told us;
Isaiah
56
7 GO TO MY HOLY MOUNTAIN
AND REJOICE IN MY HOUSE OF PRAYER AND
YOUR BURNT OFFERINGS AND YOUR OFFERINGS WILL BE A DELIGHT UPON MY ALTAR BECAUSE MY HOUSE WILL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER BY ALL PEOPLE.
8 AND I WILL ASSEMBLE THE OUTCASTS OF ISRAEL SAYS ADONAI YEHWEH, and I will continue to assemble
upon those that I have assembled.
I’ll expand upon the last
part of verse 8 in a video that will be called “Ruth.”
In lieu of the here and
the now being the time of the gathering of the remnant of Israel that He has cast out, if you cannot see the parallel that
Yehshua was making in quoting this prophecy in relation to stealing from His Father at that time…
…and how His doing so has flowed into the here and the now and YEHWEH’s messenger prophecy and other
prophecies, there are not words that can describe your obstinate, stiff-necked, pride-filled hearts.
Concerning your stealing from Him at this time His word tells us;
Ezekiel 33:15
AND IF THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE WICKED WILL “TURN BACK” AND PLEDGE TO REPAY “THAT
WHICH YOU HAVE ROBBED” (THAT WHICH YOU HAVE STOLEN FROM THE MOST HIGH) AND WALK IN THE STATUTES OF LIFE WITHOUT COMMITTING INIQUITY (without continuing to commit lawlessness, without continuing to transgress against Him/His word); LIVING YOU WILL LIVE AND YOU WILL NOT DIE.
This is the testimony of the Most High’s word;
BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!!!
Thus saith YEHWEH’s word that is upon the watchman of His house, the watchman of His end time
son of man prophecies.
