The Kingdom
Author: Paul Sides

ISBN: 1514159597

Languages : en
Pages : 483
Book Description
We are on the verge of the second coming of Yahuah’s chosen King who will rule by proxy over that Kingdom that has been revealed. Will you partake in it? You may if you finish this book series! You will have the tools to effectively overcome The Great Deception and the opportunity to accept the Truth and act on it. What you then do with this information will determine if you are a chosen son destined to rule in The Kingdom of Yahuah. The Kingdom of Yahuah is no different than the physical kingdoms on Earth as they are but “imperfect physical shadows” of the perfect spiritual kingdom. His Kingdom is a fully functional kingdom in every respect! All of these aspects of The Kingdom of Yahuah are clearly laid out in The Bible. This book could be the “Cliff Notes” to that text book (the Bible) on The Kingdom of Yahuah. In this book I am going to clearly define: • The Keys to study – Covenants, Progressive Revelation, Physical to spiritual parallels, and Transposition • The Purpose of Yahuah in creating The Kingdom of Yahuah • The Realm governed by The Kingdom of Yahuah • The Sovereign King of The Kingdom of Yahuah • The Capital City of The Kingdom of Yahuah • The Castle or Temple of The Kingdom of Yahuah • The Altar of The Kingdom of Yahuah • The Seal of The Kingdom of Yahuah • The Standard or Sign of The Kingdom of Yahuah • The Citizens of The Kingdom of Yahuah • The Constitution of The Kingdom of Yahuah • The Holy Days in The Kingdom of Yahuah • The Abomination of Desolation that denied entrance into The Kingdom of Yahuah The Kingdom of Yahuah is not “of this physical world” but rather a spiritual kingdom. You see, this physical creation that surrounds us; which we interact in… that which we can see, feel, touch, and taste is but a “veil” pulled over our eyes to hide true existence. True existence is in the realm of the spirit. Yahuah’s Kingdom is… a spiritual kingdom and Yahuah is a spiritual being (the Creator) whom we cannot “see, feel, hear, smell, or taste” in this physical realm. Therein is the challenge! How can we learn of such a kingdom that is outside our realm of existence? The challenge for Yahuah (if there is such a thing) was: “How to reveal a spiritual kingdom to His sons effectively, so that it could be fully understood BEFORE giving His sons access to it?” Why do we need to understand this spiritual kingdom before we have access to it? Simple: the promises that Yahuah makes to Rav Sha’ul 4 His sons are literally unbelievable. Yahuah simply cannot risk granting us full son ship and access without training because we could not handle it. Once we are begotten in His Image through resurrection, we then are His literal sons with all His attributes and we are eternal! Think about that statement and try and comprehend it if you can.

Pages : 401
Book Description
What is Jewish cooking in France? In a journey that was a labor of love, Joan Nathan traveled the country to discover the answer and, along the way, unearthed a treasure trove of recipes and the often moving stories behind them. Nathan takes us into kitchens in Paris, Alsace, and the Loire Valley; she visits the bustling Belleville market in Little Tunis in Paris; she breaks bread with Jewish families around the observation of the Sabbath and the celebration of special holidays. All across France, she finds that Jewish cooking is more alive than ever: traditional dishes are honored, yet have acquired a certain French finesse. And completing the circle of influences: following Algerian independence, there has been a huge wave of Jewish immigrants from North Africa, whose stuffed brik and couscous, eggplant dishes and tagines—as well as their hot flavors and Sephardic elegance—have infiltrated contemporary French cooking. All that Joan Nathan has tasted and absorbed is here in this extraordinary book, rich in a history that dates back 2,000 years and alive with the personal stories of Jewish people in France today.

Book Description
Did Jesus sin? Or was Jesus the only one to ever follow God’s Law perfectly and not sin? If you believe Jesus was a perfect keeper of God’s Law, then this book will intrigue you and challenge your beliefs about the Bible. That’s because most New Testament doctrine teaches how Jesus violated the Sabbath, declared all foods clean, waived away the Law against adultery and violated many other Old Testament commands. How can that be? Is Jesus a sinner or is man-made doctrine and interpretation wrong? We believe it is the latter. Read this book and discover how Jesus did indeed keep the Law perfectly. Come, let us reason together and search the scriptures daily to see if these things are so.

The Antichrist Revealed!
Author: Paul Sides
Publisher: Rav Sha'ul
ISBN: 1514142848
Category : Bibles
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
In this book I am going to clearly identify what has eluded mankind for 2,000 years... The identity of The Beast and the religion behind it. The Bible declares that all mankind will worship this Beast at the end and that has come true as it is the largest religion on Earth and this beast is a false image of the true Messiah who we have elevated in our hearts as God above Yahuah. The Creator, Yahuah, who revealed Himself in The Bible, warns us that His Word would be mistranslated and altered by Jewish scribes and twisted by Greeks into ‘another gospel’ that abolishes His Law and we would be presented with an “image” of the Messiah that is false called The Lawless One.This book is an all out Biblical assault and condemnation of this false messianic image known as The Antichrist... The Beast has been revealed and now we can “see” the Abomination of Desolation. Have you committed it! It is not too late to overcome it and rededicate the altar of your heart back to the one true God. In this book I am going to clearly identify what has eluded mankind for 2,000 years… The identity of the Beast and the religion behind it. The Bible declares that all mankind will worship the Beast at the end of 6,000 years. This has come true as the religion of this “beast” is the largest religion on Earth. The god of this “beast” is a false image of the true Messiah whom we have elevated in our hearts as God incarnate above Yahuah our Creator. The Beast (Greek: Θηρίον, Thērion) refers to two beasts described in the Book of Revelation as together they form the “god” and the religion behind this false god. The first beast comes from "out of the sea" and is given authority and power by the dragon. We are going to clearly identify the first beast and second beast and the dragon or ‘spirit behind the Beast’. The second beast comes from "out of the earth" and directs all peoples of the Earth to worship the first beast. The second beast is described in Revelation 13:11-18. The second beast is also referred to as the false prophet. The false prophet is not a physical man but rather the religious system that evolved around the worship of the first beast. This religious system is identified as Mystery Babylon b John and associated with Rome by Peter. The two beasts are aligned with the dragon in opposition to the Creator Yahuah and the Messiah Yahusha. This beastly system is another gospel built around the religion that evolved out of Babylon. As I explain in my first 3 books (Creation Cries Out!, Babylon the religion of the Beast, and Christianity the Great Deception) this religion is defined by its rituals which are opposed to the rituals defined by Yahuah in the Bible. Our Creator, Yahuah, who revealed Himself in The Bible, warns us that His word would be altered by translators and scribes then twisted by Greeks into ‘another gospel’. A false gospel that teaches that the Law was abolished and presents us with an “image” of the Messiah that is false. This false image of the true Messiah is called The Lawless One. You see, all humanity worships a false messiah and those who follow this false image of the true Messiah call him by a pagan name. They are addressing him by a name that literally means ‘Earthy Pig’ and gives glory to another god. They never knew his true name and they abolished the Law/Will of Yahuah and followed the Lawless One! Humanity has committed what the Bible calls the Transgression of Desolation which is the transgression of The Creator’s Feasts, Torah, and Sabbaths. This world-wide transgression causes the desolation of this planet and almost everyone on it. We call this the Great Tribulation when the Earth and its inhabitants must pay for abolishing the Law of Yahuah. The Great Tribulation is not caused by “the Antichrist committing the Abomination of Desolation” as we are taught in Christianity. The Great Tribulation is caused by the inhabitants of Earth committing the Rav Sha’ul Transgression of Desolation as we have believed in The Lawless One.

God's Sacred Occasions
Author: John R. Oliver MD
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
The Feasts of the Lord, or God’s Appointed Times, first appear in the Bible during the Exodus. There are three aspects to the Feasts of the Lord: 1. Agricultural, 2. Memorial, and 3. Prophetic. They are prophetic about both the First Advent and the Second Advent which means that some events prophesied have not happened yet. The Jewish calendar was to be determined by the New Moons and the ripening of barley in Israel and consisted of twelve or thirteen months. The first of the Appointed Times was Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Unfortunately, the Hebrews rarely observed the Feasts of the Lord and this ultimately led to their division and the Babylonian captivity. In Babylon they began to rely upon the Babylonians astronomical calculations as well as observations to try to determine when the Feasts of the Lord would occur. Finally in the fourth century, they began to rely solely on calculations to determine the dates of the Feasts of the Lord. The Feasts of the Lord played an important role during Christ’s time on earth. There were four Passovers during His ministry culminating in His crucifixion at the time of the fourth Passover. After His resurrection, the Holy Spirit was poured out upon His followers in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. The early Christian Church continued observance of the Feasts of the Lord. Paul observed Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread in Philippi. He was arrested at the time of Pentecost. The first breaks from the Feasts of the Lord began in the second century CE. The Feasts of the Lord are still important today because they were part of an oath from God, and He never breaks His oaths. Furthermore, we will be observing Feasts of the Lord in the New Earth.

Becoming Christian
Author: Nancy L. Kuehl
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498271006
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
The evolution of Christianity as it is known today began in Antioch, but as Becoming Christian reveals, it had once been quite different. While most histories gloss over the earliest period of Christianity to begin with the Christian establishment, this book uncovers the little-known history within the "gap" between 31 and 70 CE, when the Jesus Movement was headquartered in Jerusalem under the authority of James bar Joseph, the brother of Jesus, and the apostles served as missionaries carrying the teachings of Jesus throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria. By the year 66 CE, James and most of the apostles had died, along with much of their teaching. Paul's spiritual Jesus had gained a foothold among Gentiles in Antioch and throughout the West, including Rome, where it finally blossomed into a powerful political hierarchy. No longer was Jesus' humanity important to the church. With the death of James, the original movement fell into disarray and split into factions, each developing its own doctrines. Thus, there arose numerous Christianities during the first two centuries, many of which had become heretical. The Jesus Movement had now become irrelevant to the church, and as Becoming Christian reveals, by the third century it would be publicly eradicated for all time.
