Chag sameach Rosh Chodesh kol beit Yisra'el and Mishpachah and welcome to the beginning of the twelfth and last month of the biblical year. This has been, and still is for another four weeks, a year like no other year, and I believe the coming month is going to be like no other month either. Old ways are coming to an end and new ones are taking their place, for good and evil.

I get a lot of emails and IM's from people in a typical week. I let the Ruach (Spirit) tell me who I should spend time ministering to and those whom I should not respond to. There is a time and a season in every life when we are responsive to Yahweh, and times when we are not because of pride, stubbornness or whatever our issue is. And I know that young people especially don't want to hear this, but life is full of troubles and learning how to handle them with a right heart is of the utmost importance to continued well-being and deep inner peace.

Picture, if you will, being swallowed by a whale, a giant fish, or whatever sea creature it was that gulped Jonah down its gullet. Though one or two others since have suffered a similar fate and survived, albeit it partially digested at skin level, we don't know what their attitude was or how conscious they were of their ordeal, but we do know Job was awake and we know about the state of his heart when he was in that dark, wet, smelly and virtually airless world that was the great beast's stomach:

"In my distress I called to Yahweh,
and He answered me.
From the depths of the grave I called for help,
and You listened to my cry.
You hurled me into the deep,
into the very heart of the seas,
and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves and breakers
swept over me.
I said, 'I have been banished
from your sight;
yet I will look again
toward your qadosh (holy, set-apart) temple.'
The engulfing waters threatened me,
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.
To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But You brought my life up from the pit,
O Yahweh my Elohim (God).
When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered you, Yahweh,
and my prayer rose to You,
to your qadosh (holy, set-apart) temple" (Jonah 2:2-7, NIV).

I realise that I often speak of the 'big picture', the more so recently, and not so much what's going on in individuals facing the things going on in our very troubled world. Everyone of us needs to be reminded that no matter our circumstances, our loving Heavenly Father is near at hand. He waits for us to call upon Him for rescue and He is not slow to answer the sincere cry for help. Jonah realises two things that he must do in order to get back on the right track to lift him out from his dire circumstances:

• 1. He must, firstly, look to Yahweh again and not inwardly at his situation; and
  
• 2. He must, secondly, took toward Yahweh's qadosh (holy, set-apart) temple.

A similar story is told in Scripture of the tribe of Ephraim, the representative head of the northern kingdom of Ten-Tribed Israel which in Jeremiah's day had already been taken captive by Assyria:

"Is Ephraim my dear one?
Is he the child I delight in?
As often as I speak against him,
I shall remember him.
Therefore I am deeply moved for him, says Yahweh" (Jer.31:20, NRSV)

And this He said of a nation that had sunk into the depths of the most unspeakable depravity and idolatry, being the reason they were invaded and deported in the first place. It's the same today. The Ten Tribed nations of Israel, represented by Europe, north America, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere, are about to suffer a similar fate, for abandoning Yahweh and abandoning the basic faith of their fathers. The fate of the West hangs in the balance. But that doesn't mean Yahweh has abandoned us. He still desperately cares, he is moved by our suffering, but He cannot break His own rules by overlooking our sins when there is no repentance nor a willingness to do what is right.

I said last Sabbath this would be a short message and so it shall be. I only have one more thing to say but it's important. Now hear this. Eight days ago, on 4 February, I had an intense prophetic dream. Our home, which is frequently used as a prophetic symbol of the Remnant, was struck by this mighty tsunami-sized wave, taller than the building itself. When it struck, the whole house shook with a dreadful noise but after the wave passed I could see no obvious damage had been done. The 'wave' was not, however, the main danger, for Yahweh shielded the building so that no harm was done to it or those within its walls.

The danger was curiosity and what happened afterwards. For after the wave had struck and passed by, one of the suvivors, overcome by curiosity by what had struck him harmlessly, went in pursuit of the tsunami to better understand what it was and what had caused it. Here and now I must tell you - you don't need to know - what you need to do is stay put. He wandered from the safety of the Sanctuary of Yahweh's House, which is what the building symbolises (and always has in the many dreams and visions I have had of it and shared with you over the years) and became fascinated by other phenomena occuring which did not concern him, one of which was a mountain by the sea being struck by fire from heaven, causing it to disintegrate and come tumbling down.

Whilst absorbed with all that was going on around them - the form and nature of the Penultimate Judgment - he who had foolishly wandered out from the Sanctuaruy suddenly discovered to his horror that he had:

• 1. No transport;
• 2. No money;
• 3. No means of communication (like a cell phone); and
• 4. No shoes.

In a word, he found himself stranded and completely helpless. By leaving the Sanctuary (in other words, by getting spiritually lax and ceasing to devote himself 100 per cent to Yah'shua/Jesus after the major crisis had passed) he rendered himself completely unprotected by going out into the outer 'Courtyard', about which I have spoken to you multiple times, and found himself totally in the hands of strangers and hostiles, many of whom were highly dangerous people. This person is representative of those who go out of the safety and covering of the Sanctuary.

Understand this: the coming Judgment is NOT JUST A SINGLE BIG EVENT, like a literal 'tsunami' or a short but violent war, after which you can let down your guard and get on with your life. The Judgment continues, one way or another, to one degree or another (depending where you are geographically) over many years right up until the Great Tribulation. Life is not going back to the way it was but so many will make the mistake of believing it is. This penultimate judgment is an act of grace on Yahweh's part, not a licence to return to sinning after a short period of dislocation, and therefore insincere, repentance. In their carelessness, these believers will compromise with the Besorah (Gospel), the mitzvot (commandments), and cease treating the Sanctuary as a qadosh (holy, set-apart) place, once they think the immediate danger to their lives is over, and have returned to the Courtyard which remains 'trampled by the Gentiles', by inwardly allowing in to their sanctuaries both ideas, attitudes and behaviours, as well as outwardly those not of the covenant who then will despoil them. We do not get to elect ourselves as judges based on our carnal standards, but this will happen, because people by fallen nature are rebellious. In so doing these people, whilst they may save their necks in the the beginning, will demonstrate they are not of the Remnant by their lack of continuing faithfulness and return to the world, some perhaps even to become enemies. Righteousness must be cultivated!

After Yahweh had closed the door of Noah's ark Noah was not permitted, let alone able, to re-open it to save those drowning in the flood waters outside. Had he done so, or even been able to, the messianic line would have become polluted and the messianic imperative sabotaged entirely, frustrating the work of Yahweh. Those with corrupted nephilim DNA might have intermarried with Noah's family and destroyed the bloodline. That is one reason you must not accept experimental gene therapies or treatments disguised as 'vaccines' (which the élites will want to renew and 'upgrade' with ever more foreign genetic material regularly, at least once a year) because they will permanently change your DNA, corrupting your bodies (the temple of the Ruach/Spirit) which will then be passed down to your children to corrupt them too. The Remnant is a spiritual Ark - remember that - and those legitimately of it have to remember, that truth and the will of Elohim (God) have to steer their decision-making processes, not sentimentality disguising itself as 'love'. Everyone who comes through the door of the Sanctuary with a right heart, whatever their background, is to be welcomed with open arms provided they are (symbolically speaking) wearing (Melchizedek) priestly robes, in other words, wholly dedicated to Yahweh. Those with one foot in the world and one in the Kingdom cannot enter. Without those robes, they are a menace to the well-being and safety of everyone else inside. We have seen such happen, for example, in various churches when unbelieving ministers, or those who practice perversion and abuse their parishoners, are allowed in, contrary to the mitzvot (commandments).

I cannot tell you the sense of devastation I felt in that dream when I saw the person stranded without transportation, money, communiction or even the simple ability to walk very far (for you cannot get far in just your socks). It's easy to imagine. Such are open season to gang and/or state predation. In the dream I lived it as though that person were myself. It was horrible. The Enemy has unleashed, is unleashing, and is about to unleash, through his human agents and supernatural entities (demons and nephilim), everything in his devilish armoury to first cripple, and then destroy, mankind. We don't need to know every detail, except what Yahweh Himself shows us for our own well-being, otherwise we would likely faint from horror. What we do need is to have our eyes firmly on Yah'shua (Jesus), to ensure we are spiritually behind closed doors in the Sanctuary of Yahweh's New Covenant Temple, which is Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) Himself (Rev.21:22), as a true, loyal and faithful covenant people, and physically secreted in those places set-apart by Yahweh for the Remnant's temporal safety, for education on, and early experience of, the Final Gathering places too. Numerous challenges - big challenges - are going to face us in the days ahead which are going to stretch the faith of everyone. But those who love Yahweh and His Kingdom need not fear. They will grow into strong and mighty trees through patient endurance.

Aviv 1, the biblical New Year, which this year is on 14 March, and the spring festivals beginning on 27 March, are going to be like none we have ever experienced before. Many of the things Yahweh intends to do cannot be discussed in public by being broadcast on videos, posted on social media, spoken of on the 'phone, written down in letters, discussed with unbelievers or luklewarm believers not of the Remnant, or anything like that. Such is only for those who have entered into qadosh (sacred, set-apart) covenants by faith and by sacrifice. The luxury of having a constantly expanding website like this one with new materials added every week over the past 20-30 years cannot continue in the public arena indefinitely for the Enemy to update and inform himself on. Those of you who were involved in the early days of this work in the late 1980's and early 1990's will have some insights into this, and though I know most didn't like it at the time because they saw no need for it back then, or it otherwise jarred with their cultural or religious upbringing, whilst being a sifter, in actual fact it was mostly prepartion for these days that lie ahead of us. It's just a matter of re-implementing it adapted to our own time. At such a time the work of the Chavurat Bekorot or Community of the Firstborn becomes indispensable. That is why, in part, we are currently studying the Elijah Prophets and why I introduced you to the Prophetic Guilds two days ago about which so little is said in the Scriptures. Most of their work was deliberately never recorded.

Finally, remember the pillar of fire I saw in the dream. Not only is this the work of the Elijah Prophets but the Enemy is furiously trying to imitate this divine power with laser space weaponry which he has been experimenting with most notibaly in California but also elsewhere of late. Their tech, however, can never match the power of Yahweh-Elohim and is in any case helpless before the might of Heaven. So you see where we are going and what we are preparing for. You will see many satellites falling out of orbit, exploding in space, and the like, and the deep state powers who operate them will have no idea what's going on as few are likely to believe what I and others say.

Enough said. I look forward to assembling with you again next week and in the meantime "let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of emunah (faith) and ahavah (love), and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For Elohim (God) did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our master Yah'shua the Messiah (Lord Jesus Christ), who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing" (1 Thess.5:8-11, NKJV). Therefore let "the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in emunah (faith), in ahavah (love), in patience; the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behaviour, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things -- that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the Davar Elohim (Word of God) may not be blasphemed. Likewise exhort the young men to be sober-minded, in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you" (Titus 2:2-8, NKJV). So until then, have a truly blessed and edifying week! Amen.
