Chag sameach Rosh Chodesh and Yom Teruah and shabbat shalom kol beit Yisra'el and mishpachah! That's quite a mouthful, isn't it, but then this is the only time in the year when three moedim or divine appointments of Yahweh fall on the same day - the New Moon, the Day of Trumpets (Shouting) and the Sabbath. And no wonder, because this day, when it is finally fulfilled at the end of this age, is the day that our Master Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) returns as King to judge the wicked on the earth, gather the qodeshim (saints, set-apart ones), exalt the Remnant, and rule on - and over - the entire earth for 1,000 years through His 144,000 elohim or judges in the nations.

For us who are alive, and for the final generation who are alive and yet to be born, this is also a unique Yom Teruah, never to repeated until the Second Coming because this day also signals the penultimate or last-but-one Judgment of the World.

It also falls on a Yovel or Jubilee Year, the semicentennial (50th year) which occurs after seven times seven years has been counted from the institution of the festival or the last Jubilee (Lev.25:8-10). The word yovel literally means a 'joyful shout' or the 'sound of the trumpet' making its correspondence today at Yom Teruah extra special. The announcement of the approaching Yovel (Jubilee) was made a year ago today, to give the people plenty of time in advance to settle the agenda of the Yovel well in advance before its actual beginning at the New Year in the first month or Aviv. Today is the first day of the seventh month and in nine days' time - on the tenth day of the seventh month - the trumpet is sounded in order to proclaim liberty to all Israelites who were in bondage to any of their countrymen, and to return to their ancestral possession of any who had been compelled through poverty to sell them. Even the ground for that year was allowed to remain fallow, though it had been so in the previous Sh'mittah or Sabbatical Year too. In purchasing land, the Torah (Law) provided that the buyer was to give for the purchased possession only the worth of the temporary occupation until the Yovel (Jubilee) year. Houses in walled cities were expressly exempted from the law of the Yovel (Jubilee), and were sold in perpetuity. The houses of Levites were treated as was walled-city property, regardless of their location (Lev.25:8-55; 27:17-18; Num.36:4 [1]).

The reason I remind you of the Yovel today - at Yom Teruah - is that notice is being served by Yahweh to complete all transations by the time of the New Year at Aviv 1 in the Gregorian year 2017. Torah-obedient believers - for that is what Iseraelites are today - are therefore being reminded that they have six months remaining in order to fulfil the requirements of the Yovel (Jubilee) that devolves upon all who claim to be Christian or Messianic. I will be talking more about this, I expect, over the next half year, and especially in that time immediately before Aviv 1 when, according to the instructions already received, we are to have these matters settled and to stand in readiness for the next stage of this work of our Heavenly Father.

This done, we must now get to the business of this day, on the first day of the seventh month, on 1 October 2016 according to the Gregorian calendar. This is the day that the human emissaries of the Enemy in-the-know have been loathing. Today a seal is to be opened releasing the sound of trumpets - not the final one portenting the Final Judgment - but the penultimate one portending the last-but-one Judgment of the World. These sounds are about to fall upon the earth and in some places have already started falling according to the Davar (Word) given to the judges of Messianic Israel.

What are these trumpet sounds? They are the incredible and terrible devastations that Yahweh sends because the wicked have dared to enact laws that strike directly at the foundation of His Government. But because probation has not yet finally ended - because there is another generation yet to come before the final Judgment of Mishpat-Yahweh - these trumpets are judgments of mercy - an attempt on the part of our Elohim (God) to try and wake up such of the wicked who would be saved. This mercy is especially made available to those wicked ones who hitherto have had no opportunity to learn what the emet (truth) is because, for example, they were born and raised in devil-worshipping cults and have known nothing else but the lies they were taught. This is their opportunity to both hear the Besorah (Gospel) and to make teshuvah (repent). This message is in part to assure them that our Heavenly Father will look tenderly upon them, no matter what evil they have done, provided they utterly repudiate their wicked ways and change sides fully, completely and sincerely. Yahweh's heart is still stretched out to these victims, who are in ignorance, to save them, whilst the door is absolutely, totally, permanently and irreconcilably closed to those who know the emet (truth) but who refused, for whatever reason, to proactively receive it. For those who are in the very heart of the evilness of the élites, their opportunity - and last chance - has come before the heavy hand of the Almighty falls on all the rest of that cabal of conscious evil-doers.

It is written, in the 36th chapter of Leviticus, that Yahweh proclaims that those who keep His mitzvot (commandments), chukkim (statutes, ordinances) and mishpatim (judgments) will receive wonderful blessings. These blessings are listed as:

"Rains in their season, and the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. Your threshing shall overtake the vintage, and the vintage shall overtake the sowing; you shall eat your bread to the full, and live securely in your land. And I will grant shalom (peace) in the land, and you shall lie down, and no one shall make you afraid; I will remove dangerous animals from the land, and no sword shall go through your land. You shall give chase to your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. Five of you shall give chase to a hundred, and a hundred of you shall give chase to ten thousand; your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. I will look with favour upon you and multiply you; and I will maintain My b'rit (covenant) with you. You shall eat old grain long stored, and you shall have to clear out the old to make way for the new. I will place My dwelling in your midst, and I shall not abhor you. And I will walk among you, and will be your Elohim (God), and you shall be My people. I am Yahweh-Elohim who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be their slaves no more; I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect" (Lev.26:4-13, NRSV).

If these were the promises made under the Old Covenant of Israel, can you imagine how these translate into the better New Covenant of Messianic Israel? Do not suppose for one minute that any of these are inapplicable to us today. Our warfare may not always or necessarily employ "swords" or their modern equivalents at all, though they most certainly may when needed or appropriate, but they most certainly employ powers belonging to the Ruach Eliyah or Spirit of Elijah which we most defeinitely had occasion to employ in a limited way in judgments against those who sought to destroy us. Yes, we first and foremost seek the salvation of the wicked are who ignorant of the emet (truth) before any other action is employed, but we most certainly do not hesitate to employ the "sword of the Ruach (Spirit)" (Eph.6:17) when called upon to do so, as we are now called upon to do so not just at this time but on this very day of Yom Teruah! Yes, our principal warfare is against invisible (save to the seers) "principalities and powers" (Rom.8:38; Eph.3:10; 6:12; Col.1:6; 2:15) but the Judges in Israel are also called to bring forth the Davar (Word) for Yahweh's judgment of the wicked that Yahweh Himself shall execute supernaturally. The nevi'im (prophets) and shoftim (elohim (judges) of Messianic Israel, who possess authentic toqef (authority), are also to announce Yahweh's judgments against the wicked of the world. This is unheard of amongst Christians and contrary to the belief of vast majority of Messianics because they are not aware. But they shall become aware, and tremble and rejoice, if they are true, spiritually-regenerated talmidim (disciples).

I wish to impress upon you most urgently and forcefully, because these are things the Remnant must and shall understand and accept, that these blessings pronounced in Leviticus are every bit valid today and are to be activated on an ever greater scale. And though unregenerated and disobedient believers may pronounce such devarim (words) they will not be accompanied by power, and that will be the sign that they are not from Elohim (God) but operating in their own authority or the authority of fallen spirits. What they now consider to be fantastic and absurd claims they will soon change their minds over, and either make teshuvah (repent) or refuse to believe, making war against the qodeshim (saints, set-apart ones) only to perish together with the wicked.

Please study these blessings and believe them. The Davar Elohim (Word of God) does not return to Him void (Is.55:11) - ever - when they are directed to His chosen ones. But remember, they are only directed towards those two believe, are born-again (regenerated) and are Torah-obedient. The willfully disobedient need not apply for they shall return empty. All these things, and more, are promised to Yah's Remnant, and they may test these words after the Yovel (Jubilee) is over next spring when they may again plant after two years of letting the land lie fallow.

Today, though, it is not just my task to focus on the blessings of the righteous, though I speak them to reassure and encourage. Today my message, along with the message of other shoftim (judges) around the world, is to announce what is now coming to the wicked. They are to fall by the sword (v.25), to beasts (v.22) and to famine (v.20). A forerunner of that final pale horse of Revelation 6:7-8 is about to be unleashed everywhere:

"When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature call out, 'Come!' I looked and there was a pale green horse! It's rider's name was Death, and Hades followed with him; they were given toqef (authority) over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, famine, and pestilence, and by the wild animals of the earth" (Rev.6:7-8, NRSV).

The Davar Elohim (Word of God) for the unrepentant wicked:

"Then Yahweh said to me: 'Even if Moses and Samuel were to stand before Me, My heart would not go out to this people. Send them away from My presence! Let them go! And if they ask you, 'Where shall we go?' tell them, 'This is what Yahweh says:

'Those destined for death, to death;
those for the sword, to the sword;
those for starvation, to starvation;
those for captivity, to captivity.'

"'I will send four kinds of destroyers against them,' declares Yahweh, 'the sword to kill and the dogs to drag away and the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy. I will make them abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth'" (Jer.15:1-4, NIV).

These punishments are the trumpets or teruah of the Book of Revelation, at least the punishments that are the dress-rehearsal of the final one in a few decades down the road. Great destruction is going to follow resulting in famine because, amongst other things, so much vegetation is going to be destroyed. The sixth trumpet bespeaks the Third World War, when it finally comes, and we are going to see a prequel of this very soon, thus fulfilling the punishment by the sword. Locusts accompany the fifth trumpet (Rev.9:3) which are some of the beasts sent to destroy.

I will spare you the details as I am sure your imaginations are vivid enough to conjure up the coming scenes easily enough. The reason most believers are not of the Remnant is they are living in willful disobedience. To these, Yahweh says the following, once sufficient suffering has brought them to their senses:

"But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their ancestors, in that they commited treachery against Me and, moreover, that they continued hostile to Me - so that I, in turn, contined hostile to them and brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled and they make amends for their iniquity, then I will remember My b'rit (covenant) with Jacob; I will remember also My b'rit (covenant) with Isaac and also My b'rit (covenant) with Abraham, and I will remember the land" (Lev.26:40-42, NRSV).

Whatever "land" you are living on, which you have inherited or purchased, and dedicated to Yahweh, and are living thereon in accordance with Yahweh's mitzvot (commanements), counts as "Israel", even if it is in another country with another government, until such a time Yahweh relocates you to the Twelve Cities of Refuge, which will be under no government control or taxation, and to the Promised Land which will be cleared of its inhabitants, including the neighbouring countries, to receive the 900,000 of the Second Exodus of the final generation.

Yahweh always brings forgiveness and salvation to those who make teshuvah (repent), showing that when He begins to send His punishments on the world, probation has not yet closed. Mercy still pleads with the inhabitants of the world. This morning, barely two hours ago, after a restless night and nothing but visions of a mighty wind blowing but nothing I could identify in it, I finally got a clear Davar Elohim (Word of God), which I share with you:

"Therefore Yahweh of hosts (armies) the Elohim (God) of Israel says this: I will punish the king of Babylon and his country as I have punished the king of Assyria. I will bring Israel back to his pasture, and he shall graze on Carmel and Bashan: in the hills of Ephraim and Gilead he shall eat his fill. In those days, says Yahweh, when that time comes, search shall be made for the iniquity of Israel but there shall be none, and for the sin of Judah but it shall not be found; for those whom I leave as a remnant I will forgive" (Jer.50:18-20, NEB).

It is perhaps worth remembering that the 'Remnant' isn't so much a special band of the 'fantastic and wonderful' or the 'sin-free and the glorious'. The Remnant is the leftover which has been forgiven of its sins after the rest have been judged for not repenting of their sins. The only thing that distinguishes the Remnant from all the rest is authentic teshuvah (repentance)!

In this passage of Scripture from Jeremiah we are looking at an event past (the judgment of the King of Assyria and his country) and an event that is imminent (the judgment of the King of Babylon and his country). This is an historical event whose tavnith (pattern) is repeating in our own day in accordance with the principle of prophetic cycling. Yahweh is about to punish the King of 'Babylon' in our day (Barak Hussein Obama) and his country (the United States, or West Manasseh, and her allies) just as He punished the King of 'Assyria' last century (Adolf Hitler) and his country (Germany, or East Manasseh, and her allies). But this you know already. What you may not know is that the judgment, like a mighty wind, is now roaring, increasing in tempo and breaking the bounds of its containment.

Today notice is hereby served, in Yah'shua's (Jesus') Name, to the governing human powers of this world, both the visible goverment officers in high places as well as - and especially - those wicked organisations who pull the strings of, and thereby control, governments - the shadowy though increasingly more visible élites. They must either now "make teshuvah (repent) or perish" (Lk.13:3,5, NKJV). That is the summum bonum of Yahweh's Davar (Word) at this moment. They must choose between the Most High Elohim (God) or the devil - and if they choose the devil, they must be punished for striking at the foundations of Yaweh's Government, and perish.

What are these foundations? Gender and marriage, for one; murder of the unborn, for another; the mass chemical poisoning and murder of human being in their millions in their food, air, soil, and water is yet another; and the teaching of lies upon lies upon lies in the social, moral and religious sphere is yet another; but now, seeking to be gods by modifying life itself at both biological and atomic levels must surely be one of the most heinous crimes of the élites - making genetically-modified human beings in order to acquire immortality without resurrection; the ripping apart of the fabric of time and space in order to open up the gates of hell; the dealing with nefilim (the 'UFO and alien' phenomenon, so-called); transhumanism; the promotion of 'assisted suicide' and the explosion in slavery worldwide. Need I say more?

There is more, much, much more in the arsenal of crimes committed by these wicked and depraved human beings who have crossed so many lines now that there is no longer any mercy for them. They are assaulting the very fabric of creation, which cannot be permitted or go unpunished. And even though this assault will resume once more after this present judgment, that is to say at the Final Judgment, it is the present violators of Cosmic Law that must now be judged and punished. I do not know how much time they have - it could be from three (1-3 October) to ten days (10 October, Yom haBikkurim), three months to 1 January) to six months (Aviv 1) for all I know. All I know is that I must issue this Mishpat Shammayim or Judgment of the Heavens and simply hand over these people by declaration on earth. It is time for them. I repeat, the ignorant of the élites who have done wickedly may repent but they had better do so quickly, handing themselves and their families over to Yahweh in urgent penitence.

"Yahweh has opened up His arsenal and brought out the weapons of His wrath; for this is the work of Yahweh-Elohim of Hosts (Armies) in the land of the Chaldeans. Her harvest time has come: throw open her graneries, pile her in heaps; destroy her, let no survivors be left. Put all her warriors to the sword; let them be led to the slaughter. Woe upon them! for their time has come, their day of reckoning. I hear the fugitives escaping from the land of Babylon to proclaim in Zion the vengeance of Yahweh-Elohim" (Jer.50:25-28, NEB).

We are going through, and are about to go through, a dress rehearsal of the Final Judgment. This is no small thing and no pleasant thing. The ancient iniquity of the Amorites, of the Ante-Diluvian World of Noah and of Sodom in the days of Lot is the same today as it was then. We are likewise experiencing a journey through all the seven seals described in the Book of Revelation, though not the final ones. I must stress again and again, especially for those of you who are new to this witness, that this is a dress rehearsal, not the final complex of events leading to the Great Tribulation and Final Judgment. The Messianic Scriptures (New Testament) tell us that the "last days" actually began 2,000 years ago with Yah'shua (Jesus) and the first apostles. The "last days" are not something tacked on to the last seven years of the history of this age. Properly viewed, the seven seals span from that time 2,000 right up to the Second Coming. It would not therefore be incorrect to view this present Mishpat Yahweh as overall being represented by the penultimate or sixth seal which corresponds to Yom haKippurim as the 'Day of Atonements' which is also the 'Day of Judgment' for this is a judgment. There well be more to say about this in 10 days' time. Within each of these seals it may therefore be said that there are seven seals 'in miniature' so that what you have is a kind of fractal. We are now within the sixth part of the sixth historical phase culminating in the Second Coming some years down the road yet.

Everything is suddenly happening, brethren and sisters. Events are like a whirlwind that has been gathering and waiting to touch down for a long time now. Deutsche Bank looks ready to collapse, Russians and Americans could be facing each other in battle in Syria any day now, and the organs of Russian Government are already heading for their nuclear bunkers. That is why you must have your spiritual shelters ready and your physical places of refuge, the places where Yahweh has told you to prepare in advance and flee to and weather out the storm. Nobody, even the élites, is prepared for what is about to be unleashed. They aren't in control and never were - they are but grains of sand, mere dust, before El Elyon, the Most High. Even the bunkers of the super-rich, which they are now frantically building, will be useless to them. Did they really suppose Yahweh could not reach them? In their murderous arrogance and pride they thought they had built a kingdom that could not be moved, but they are in for a terrible and terrifying shock. Woe unto them who defy Yahweh-Elohim of Hosts!

The sun is shining on the Remnant, those who are trusting in Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) for their deliverance and are walking the way of Yahweh's Torah (Law and Teaching). Blessed is the Remnant, called to be a light to the world, for they will have much to do as they arise from obscurity in the true power and anointing of the Most High. But a warning to the Remnant too, lest they be lifted in their pride and receive many stripes, and that is this: stay humble and dependent on Yahweh, and do not rely on your own arm lof flesh (2 Chr.32:8)! Use few words, be even-tempered, do not be self-indulgent, don't seek to air your own opinions but to share the devarim (words) of our Creator (Prov.17:27-18:1, NLT). Redeem the time (Eph.5:16), use it wisely, for much will be expected of you and much should be given for King and Kingdom, for this is a harvest time, from now and until the end - the harvest of the 900,000. "Stay away from any believer who lives in idleness and doesn't follow the tradion of hard work" given by the first apostles (2 Thes.3:6, NLT). Don't be lazy, be eager for the Davar (Word) and to share the Davar (Word). The Remnant, like the first apostles, should "work hard day and night" so as "not to be a burden to any" (2 Thes.3:7, NLT). We want stout-hearted labourers for the Kingdom.

May Yahweh's grace go with you and His shalom (peace) be in you until we assemble again, and especially at Yom haKippurim, in Yah'shua's (Jesus') Name. Amen.
