Editor's Testimony

During this time I also studied world philosophies and religions. I always did believe there is a basic TRUTH and, therefore, everything but it is axiomatically off key, with some elements right perhaps but not totally harmonious, but I had to finally give my own philosophical pursuit a rest and just live my life. Then in 1978, when I was 38, I ran into the obvious fact that we were going to annihilate ourselves and it was apparently impossible to make any real difference in the world even on a small scale using an incorruptible pathway, which was required by my ethical and aesthetic structures. So, one day I found myself screaming out to the impersonal "Élan Vital" I had believed in since I was 17 and said, "Why don't you do something about this, because we are going to destroy ourselves and only you can stop it!!!!!!"

The answer I got back was, "I have a plan." I asked, "What plan?" The response came back, " My Son." I nearly fell over! Until then I thought Christianity was just sop and never bothered to really address it, let alone read the Bible even though I studied just about everything else. So, it seemed evident I had to go where they talked about the Son and whatever Plan there was. Much later I discovered that Christianity is much worse than sop and that the Roman Catholic Church is the one called in Revelation "The Whore of Babylon" and all "her daughters" are the Protestant Churches.

There is indeed a Son, which has been proven to me in a body of knowledge I have learned from others who have it, and Christianity has basically called Him a liar, refusing to believe what He said. We are Yahshuans because His name isn't Jesus, its Yahshua. Not long after the answer to my scream, Yahshua spoke once to me in a very quiet but authoritative voice in my mind and said, "Get up and leave." Actually I didn't decide to do that, my body simply got up and proceeded to leave. It's a hard experience to explain but it was not by my own volition or decision that I left. Although I had made no decision whether to obey or not, my body got up and left, simple as that.

I have been leaving ever since, whatever is wrong. The odyssey meant going to churches, all kinds, to learn what they had to say about the Son and then through my own research into the Bible I could see where they did not abide by the book they used and I would go on to learn about another dogma. I later found that my research conclusions were erroneous but they led me away from what was even more erroneous. For instance, I left the Lutheran Church because they sprinkled when they baptized with water instead of immersing as Yahshua Himself was immersed but later it was proved to me that we are not to be baptized in water anymore anyway because He put an end to washings with water along with all the old law (Col 2:14) and that we are to be baptized instead by Fire (the Holy Spirit) and in the Name of the Father and Son as told us in Matt 3:11, 28:19; Mark 1:8; Acts 1:5, 11:6, I Cor 12:139:5; (Yahweh and Yahshua are the true names, the latter also being the name of the Holy Spirit by the way, John 14:26).

In most cases I studied with a doctrine six months to a year or more: Episcopalian (started here because it was on the block where I lived), Lutheran (went there because I had been baptized when I was seven in such a church), Jehovah's Witnesses (because they come to you ),Grace Baptist, Assembly of God, Seventh Day Adventist, Latter Day Saints (Mormons who still count me as one of them, they never let go), Worldwide Church of God, Catholics (I worked at the Servants of the Paraclete in Jemez Springs NM where many of the pedophile priests were sent for therapy, it's now closed), and a couple of local idiosyncratic assemblies who called the Savior by His right name at least and knew that "lord god" as the King James calls him had a name which was Yahweh, and in which name Yahshua came, John 5:43 (Yahshua means Yahweh is Salvation).

All of them were finally wrong, wrong, wrong by the very book they use. There are over 2,000 branches of Christianity all with their own twist by the way so which one was right? They can't all be right, there is only one TRUTH. I travailed of ever finding the real TRUTH about the Son and the Plan. In fact, I didn't find it, it found me as it always has found anyone who seeks. One is called to it often in very strange ways (like hearing it over the back fence). Perhaps the one called will hear, it will make sense, but only if a he/she was predestined before the creation to have the Holy Spirit open his/her eyes/mind to it (Eph 1:5,11; Romans 8:29,30). "Many are called but few are chosen." (Matt 20:16)

Then one day in January of 1994 we were invited to a meeting of a group called the Institute of Divine Metaphysical Research (IDMR) in Albuquerque. It is now 2008 and I have never left this teaching after having left so very many that could not make sense, could not be proved, and did not stand the test of fitting what the bible says. I am satisfied I have found the TRUTH and am at rest. No matter where I go, what I hear from whoever I am safe and sure in a knowledge that cannot be denied once learned. The Dean of the Albuquerque Branch (this is not a church) is also a member of the IDMR international Board of Trustees. That year of 1994, in March I believe, there was a Dean's meeting at Headquarters and those from our class who attended along with our Dean came back very shaken. An apostasy had always sought some ground in the IDMR and while the founder, Dr. Henry Clifford Kinley, was in the flesh he kept it at bay but then he took off the flesh in early 1976 and the roots began to grow and at that Dean's meeting in 1994 a schism appeared in IDMR. I will be everlastingly grateful that I came to class before that happened and that I came into a class that refused to go astray. Everything I learned in that class is reflected in the parts of this website which I wrote and which I have edited.

The reality is that the TRUTH is not known in Christian churches or any organized religion. It is knowledge taught from one person to another (I Cor 1:21) because that's the way Yahweh chose for us to learn it. We are disciples or students. Knowledge is what is required for eternal life (John 17:3), that and belief (Heb 11:6). Belief is not blind either as the dictionary would have us believe, but comes from seeing the "substance" and "evidence" (Heb 11:1) that has been recorded by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. (II Tim 3:16)

The key to understanding the proof is in the Old Testament (OT) as we are told in Isaiah 8:20, "To the law {first five books of the OT} and to the Testimony {the other 34 books often called Prophets}, if they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light {life} in them." Yahshua Himself taught from the Scripture (there was no New Testament then) as evidenced by many places recorded in the history of Him (Luke 24:25, 27, 44, Matt 5:17).

Moreover, the way to look at the witnesses in the OT (Heb 12:1) is by using the Tabernacle Pattern, "…an example and shadow of heavenly things..." (Heb 8:15). This pattern is Yahweh's pattern, how He functions. It can be seen throughout the creation and is literally why we are without excuse not to know Him (Ps 19:1-4; Romans 1:20). It is threefold and is seen everywhere from the basic building block of all matter the atom (proton, neutron, electron{s}), cells (cell body, nucleus, nucleolus), time (past, present, future), trees (roots, trunk, branches), the human body (head, chest cavity, abdominal cavity), human limbs (fingers, lower arm, upper arm and so on including the breakdown of the fingers), and on and on. Just as the sun, on which this planet relies for life, sets (appears to die), and is buried (under our feet which is literally under the earth we are standing on), and then resurrects with the dawn and proceeds to a zenith (glory) so does Yahshua do the same. The sun is a physical reflection of the Son just as all on the physical plane is reflection of the spiritual. Yahweh is spirit (John 4:24) and chose to manifest physically. The pathway of the sun, seen by all who ever lived, speaks in a voice that is heard by anyone of the mission of Yahweh in a physical body, coming to the physical plane to die, to be buried, and then to resurrect and ascend in glory in order to open that same path to those who believe (John 10:34). It depicts the Gospel that gives life, eternal life.

He died that terrible death as a totally righteous, sinless, human being so that His blood could be shed in the world for atonement for all disobedience to Yahweh. No other blood would suffice and the blood of bulls, goats and so on never pleased Yahweh, He just gave Israel those laws so they could continue to live physically, so this people's blood line would bring forth from the tribe of Judah the Messiah. Their journey, moreover, from Egypt to the Promised Land is a migratory pattern which we must all make. In our minds we must leave Egypt (the world), dwell in a place where we learn and are tested (gain knowledge), and then when we take off the flesh we can go into the Promised Land (heaven). Just as they required the death of an innocent lamb to emerge from Egypt physically alive, we all required the physical death of the "Lamb of Yahweh" (John 1:29; Rev 5:8) to emerge from the physical life into spiritual life within the body of Yahshua or Yahweh Elohim.

The Old Law never saved anyone spiritually it merely kept them alive physically, in some cases, when an animal died in their behalf as per the law. That shedding of Yahshua's blood, who was Yahweh in a body just as we all are but we don't know it until we learn about the mystery which was unveiled on Pentecost 53 days after Yahshua was killed, brought defeat to the Mystery of Iniquity or Satan and his angels who were given rule over the world (II Cor 4:4) and all its institutions. Satan was given the power to deceive the entire world ever since Adam and Eve (Rev 12:10) and that's why we all need a Savior to lead us back to the knowledge that we are Yahweh in a body, His temple (I Cor 3:16). We are in the 4th Age of the world according to His ages and dispensations and He is building a new man, a spiritual being whose head is Yahshua (Himself) which will simply step alive into the all spiritual 5th age because its members believed the report.

I am here because I am part of the plan of Yahweh, just as everyone who ever lived and will live is. There is a role I play just as everyone else has one to play to accomplish Yahweh's purpose. All have come short of the glory of Yahweh, save Himself when He abode in a physical body, who is called Yahshua and which is the name of the Holy Spirit, and all but He have sinned or been disobedient to Yahweh's will because of an entity called Satan, whose name was Lucifer before He was cast to the earth (spiritual to earth plane) in order to teach us about Yahweh by causing us to oppose Him and reap the consequences because of His Spirit Law that keeps the whole cosmos together.

This continual disobedience by mankind causes us to need a Savior, and according to His plan he came in a fleshly body on a mission to save those who would believe and thereby come to a knowledge of His mercy and go on to teach the good news or gospel of salvation for those that hear and those that don't (Is 28:9-13; I Cor 1:21)). The knowledge, which is hid in a mystery now opened, is literally a way back to the Father who conceived us in His mind and then went about to set the creation in motion knowing everything from the beginning to the end (Is 42:9, 46:9-10) and predestinating those that would return to him, vessels of glory, and those that would not, vessels of dishonor. He is the potter, or I should say He/She is the potter because Yahweh is all in all, both feminine and masculine and dwells in eternity in which He created the physical realm which is ruled by His Spirit Law, then started time right inside of eternity when Eve (who was deceived) and Adam (who was disobedient on purpose as a type of Yahshua Who would die for His bride) broke His one physical law back in the garden and He is also Who will bring the whole thing to an end when His purpose is complete. By the way, science has proved that all mankind has descended from one man and one woman.

My role is whatever it is. An individual's role always forwards the purpose of Yahweh (Eph 1:9 and 10) because He is "I Will Be What I Will to Be" (Ex 3:14) not "I am that I am" which sounds more like Popeye who has no power to be anything other than Himself. Yahweh has Willed to be all of creation and took on form right within Himself as Elohim (God in the KJ) to appear to certain of mankind to make Himself known (Ex 24, Ez 1:26, Gen 6:13, Gen 15:1, and many, many other places) where he appeared in a vision or dream to a man or men (Num 12:6). We are Him.

The whole Israeli experience from Abraham, through Egypt and out (roughly 490 years, a period of prophetic time and which was prophesied in Genesis 15:13), was a shadow of the spiritual journey each person takes in order to reach the "promised land" or "heaven" or Most Holy Place of the Tabernacle. Once we know the TRUTH we are in the Kingdom of Heaven right here in fleshly bodies but sanctified and no longer disobedient to Yahweh. When we die or the world ends we will join with our Head of the assembly or our husband Who is Yahshua and be with Him for ages to come. This is a spiritual age we are in while yet on the physical plane which is about to be destroyed.

This body of knowledge has so much power and evidence in it that one must be able to listen for awhile, ask questions, and then listen some more to begin to see the magnitude of the purpose Yahweh put into motion. Having this knowledge brings peace, comfort, and at the end of the physical plane it brings salvation. Everyone who ever lived will be resurrected and judged in an instant to receive either glory with Yahshua or eternal damnation, which is the worst you have ever felt in your entire life, forever.

Some find it very hard to yield to this TRUTH, it hurts. We literally have to take all the junk we have been taught to the dump, let it go, and be reborn into the light of the TRUTH (John 3:5). To stand in the Holy Place which is the midway point in the Tabernacle Pattern is to be lit (He is the light, John 8:12) or have knowledge by Yahshua, to be fed spiritually by the holy bread which is Yahshua (John 6:51), and to have Yahshua interceding for us. He is also the door into the Holy Place (John 10:9). We can see into the Holy of Holies, or Most Holy Place where in the physical tabernacle the Ark of the Covenant once stood and where in the spiritual realm is the mercy of Yahweh.

The chaos of life now such as the pollution of the planet and global warming with all that means, the continued fighting between the progeny of Abraham who stem from Isaac (Israel) and Ishmael (Islamic peoples) which could cause nuclear annihilation, and the rapid decline in ethics worldwide, and much, much more is like the chaos of when the creation came into being and was not in shape and form (Gen 1:2).

The same event as happened on the first day of creation will be on us soon, the division of light from darkness. The metaphysical is the reality as Plato somehow seemed to know and the physical is Maya as the Hindus seemed to know. It is all Yahweh's business and we must yield to His truth that, "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith Yahweh." (Isaiah 55:8) Yahweh is power, love, knowledge, intelligence, strength, and more. He doesn't have those things, He is those things! Mankind does not like to yield but must or suffer the consequences.

www.soundingthetrumpet.com gives more information about this body of knowledge that has been made known since Pentecost but which has been transfigured by false prophets and seekers of power over their fellow man. The apostasy happened very soon after Pentecost and after all the Apostles, witnesses, were gone more and more error has crept into any dogma that coalesced for assorted reasons. You "catch" this TRUTH from another who has it and that is the only way to learn it. (I Cor 1:21)

While there is yet a physical realm our faith, while coming by grace, is dead without works. That is to say, that a Yahshua lives as led by the Holy Spirit and is not afraid to do what he/she is called to do or to say. This can mean many, many things such as moving often, taking a lot of disrespect from others when teaching (preaching), constantly being assailed by Satan through other persons, often loved ones, and generally being viewed as crazy, stupid, or simple. We aim to not stumble another and try always not to give offense because that could cause stumbling in another. However, we speak boldly when called upon to do so. Where during the time of the Old Law of Moses, Yahweh Elohim called for warfare against those not chosen (a cleansing action required for the advent of Yahweh in a specially prepared body) now the chosen are to love one another and do unto others as they would be done unto. This is a different age and the eternal Law of the Spirit governs us beyond any other law and it does so peacefully and with love.

We are not afraid to learn anything because our faith is grounded on evidence and we are thoroughly convinced because of it. We don't believe blindly and we have all questioned extensively the knowledge we received and it never failed in any regard to meet any challenges it was put to, so more information about religions is helpful for the spreading of the gospel as He uses us and what we know, who we are, to reach them if at all possible but new information does not change us. It is not possible to not believe in the gospel once proved to our satisfaction that it is TRUTH.

I will tell you what hooked me the very first night I went to a class to hear about the TRUTH. There is a place in the NT where it says Yahshua stopped the stoning of a woman (by saying, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone."). I had remembered that He wrote in the sand on that occasion but it didn't say what He wrote. On this first night at the time for questions, which always comes when someone new is there, I asked, "What did He write in the sand?" I had asked this question often because it intrigued me because there is no other mention in the NT that he wrote anything at all. This was my pet question.

Instead of telling me the answer I was asked whether I understood and accepted the first lecture about Moses receiving the 10 commandments on Sinai. I said, "Yes." Then I was asked if I understood and accepted the second lecture which was about Yahshua's mission to fulfill the Law and the Prophets as well as to die for our sins (see Luke 24:25 and 44, Matt 5:17) and I said, "Well, I'd never seen or thought about that before, but yes it made sense and was proved to me by Scriptures which showed many things He had fulfilled."

So, then I was asked, simply, "Do you accept that Yahshua is Yahweh in a body." I had already known the true names and had thought all along that the Savior must have been God in a body so I said, "Yes."

Then came the final question, "If He was fulfilling in everything He did, what did He write before in the OT?" I knew immediately it was when He wrote the 10 commandments by His own hand, the only time Yahweh-Elohim (Yahweh's super incorporeal manifestation seen in visions and dreams) wrote anything. Then the teacher said, "And He wrote the 10 commandments twice, didn't he? And Yahshua wrote in the sand twice, didn't he?" I actually did not remember Yahshua having written in the sand twice, I only remembered Him writing once in the sand although I did know the 10 commandments had been written by Yahweh Elohim twice. When I got home I looked it up. He wrote twice. This is also proof that the 10 commandments would be set aside and there were two laws, one given to Moses which was physical and one eternal and is the power of Yahweh. The 10 commandments no longer govern us; they were for a carnal people not a spiritual people. In the OT they were written in rock which lasts a long time. In the NT they were written in sand which blows away or is trod upon and no image remains. Israel had to look at the commandments all the time, on their clothing, on the doorways and elsewhere in order to really remember them and try to keep them. Now Spirit Law is written in our hearts and minds (again twice written) as per the prophecy in Jeremiah 31:31-33 if we are spiritually minded which means we have the Holy Spirit. Once having the Holy Spirit a person cannot sin (disobedience to Yahweh) as clearly state in Romans 6, so there is no need of the 10 commandments or the other 603 laws Israel was given, nor is there any need to do any works with our hands to be saved.

We cannot do anything to be saved, we are never able to be good enough, "…no, not one…" it is by grace and then the works manifest. Receiving the Holy Spirit requires receiving the knowledge of Yahshua, which knowledge is not blind but must be proved for us to be convinced, and then our minds and hearts are elevated to a spiritual nature (Kingdom of Heaven) while yet in a carnal body. We then do naturally the Will of Yahweh, converted, turned away from doing the will of Satan whom we cannot defeat because he is a powerful spirit being that runs the physical world. We must have the being Who created Him within us to keep us safe from the Mystery of Iniquity. We are still tempted and tested but while we might make mundane mistakes we will never be taken out of the hand of Yahshua having been put there by Divine power once we believed (John 10:28) which is a gift that causes us to be able to hear what is said and understand it.

It is all a mystery until it is revealed: Mark 4:11; Romans 11:25, 16:25; Eph 1:9, 3:3,4,9 and 5:43, 6:19; Col 1:26-27, 2:2, 4:3; and more. It is not something we can learn on our own no matter how diligent we are, how much we have read the Bible and so on because it also requires to know the proofs in the creation and it all must be revealed by one having it to one not having it as He decreed in I Cor 1:21. We would have liked to see it be another way, that we could figure it out on our own, but our eyes are blinded so we cannot see until such time as the plan has worked in our life enough to make us ready to see it and accept it, or not. Many listen but do not hear, look but do not see.

Some important pieces of information that can be proved by the Bible, "here a little, and there a little, precept upon precept" (Is 28:9-13) are: Yahshua was born on (about) June 6 in the Gregorian calendar which is also when the Israelites received the Mosaic law and is when the Holy Spirit was poured out 53 days after the Savior's death during which time He resurrected and was seen for 40 days by over 200 people, and then ascended telling them to wait which they did for 10 days at which time He broke up His spiritual body for them to "eat" if they would receive it. 120 received. Also, numbers are important: they relate to steps in the Tabernacle Pattern and in our journey to salvation, an example is the number 4 (zeroes are place makers, so it could be 4, 40, 400, 4000) which is the step which is at the door of the Holy Place (where you now stand if you would but enter), the door spoken of that He knocks on and would come in (to your heart which causes you to come unto Him) and Israel was in the Holy Place of the Wilderness in Sinai for 40 years, He was in the wilderness 40 days tempted by Satan, and His advent was 4000 years after the creation began. It was created in eternity so there is no way to time the creation really, and time began when she touched that tree and now she (the Bride of Yahshua or His body or His assembly) must touch the Tree of Life and when the last one who is predestinated touches Him, knows Him, the physical creation will end. The spiritual creation will go on and we will learn in ages to come unencumbered by the Mystery of Iniquity and all of us will be in Unity forever.

There were 4 points of blood on Him just as there were 4 points of blood on the inside of the door to keep the Israelites safe from the death angel of the 10th plague of death on Egypt, and 4 point of blood on the horns of the altar of sin sacrifice in the Tabernacle. His 5th point of blood, delivered after He gave up His spirit, is the hole in His side into which we can enter spiritually, the woman back into the man, just as the woman was taken out of the physical man's side. There is so much more but I have to stop somewhere.

Halleluyah: all praise be to Yahweh.
