But by means of the word HALLELUYAH the Heavenly Father left us a clue, for it reveals to us the root of His Name. The Jews up to this day, are hesitant to use the Name of the Heavenly Father: YAHUWEH. Research has brought to light that the TETRAGRAMMATON (as the Name of the Most High is generally known) should be pronounced as Yahuweh. The name of His Son YAHUSHUA is derived from His Father's Name (John 5:43; Philippians 2:9 & Exodus 23:20-21).

Having read through the Scriptures (Bible) a few times, as is expected of every believer you will experience that the use/honouring of the original Names of Father and Son call believers over the wide spectrum of worship to full obedience, from Genesis to Revelation.

1 Chronicles 16:10; 2 Chronicles 16:9; Psalm 22:27-29; 91:14-15; Isaiah 30:15 & 18; Jeremiah 17:7-8 & 10; Hosea 12:5-6; Joel 2:32; Ezekiel 20:44; Zechariah 10:12; Matthew 10:22; 7:22; John 17: 6, 11-12; Acts:28-29.

As the true Names of the Heavenly Father and His Son became more widely known the instructions that Yahuweh gave to Moses in the Torah were more closely examined. The impact of Galatians 3:26-29 stood like an indictment because believers over the wide spectrum of worship call on this passage in their claim to be the favoured ones of the Most High. Reading through Romans 11 it becomes clear that anyone who claims to be that he/she has become a favoured one of Yahuweh would have to be grafted into the olive tree. Grafting in takes place by being born again, i.e. to repent and to be baptised in the Name of Yahushua according to Acts 2:38-39 as well as chapter 8:36-39.

Believers laying claim shall then adjust their way of worship to do the things that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their offspring did. If this does not take place how would we be able to sit with the patriarchs in the Kingdom according to Matthew 8:11-12?

What does our Heavenly Father Yahuweh expect from the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? Simply this: Follow Yahushua all the way, learn from Him and obey Him and learn of the Names above all Names. After having given the Torah, Yahuweh confirmed the Torah through the mouth of the prophets and of course the Main Pillar of the true worship Yahushua the Messiah. He came to set the perfect example and pay the highest price for the redemption of sin (lawlessness) on the hill of Golgotha outside Jerusalem.

Many believers claim that Paul came with a new doctrine that amended the true worship in such a manner that the Gentiles were no longer obliged to obey all the instructions of the TORAH. In Colossians 1:16-17 the Gentiles are reminded that they have been accepted into the True Worship and should not allow anybody to judge them. In Ephesians 2:19-22 it is emphasised that our way of worship is built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Yahushua as the cornerstone. The important role of the prophets is emphasized in Revelation 10:7. Amos 3:7 augments it beautifully indicating that Yahuweh does nothing unless He reveals it to the prophets. Refer to the following verses to get the picture of Glad Tidings: Jeremiah 3:14-17; Isaiah 65:12-25; Numbers 24:4-9; Psalm 1:1-3; Ezekiel 11:16-20; Joel 2:21-32; Micah 7:18-20; Zechariah 2:8-12, 8:15:23.

In Ephesians 1:11, 14 & 18 Apostle Paul focuses on the inheritance as he told Agrippa in acts 26:17-19. In Acts 19:8-10 an indication if given how long Paul tried to convince his own fellow-believers and that it took two years to convince the disciples of John. How much longer wouldn't it take for a Gentile to gain understanding of the general pattern?

Any believer who reads through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation with a prayerful heart and makes its instructions part of his life pattern will be convicted by Ruach HaKodesh (Spirit of Separation - Holy Spirit) without any doubt that the eternal redemption play of Yahuweh is for Israel in the first place and those of Gentile origin should be grafted into the olive tree (Romans 11) to gain part of the inheritance.

To serve Yahuweh as He instructed to His people the Law must be engraved on the tables of your heart and this is what the New Covenant is all about according to Hebrews 8:10, 10:16. You will not be able to live obedience to the Word without the leading of Ruach HaKodesh (Spirit of Separation - Holy Spirit). Yahushua advised in Luke 11:13 that we must pray for it. Have you also experienced that for those who want to be obedient nothing is too difficult? Those who want to be disobedient will any excuse to support their claims. That is why the impact of the words of Yahushua in Luke 17:10 will always remain a driving force where He mentioned that we are undeserving servants and are under obligation to do the things we have to do.

Life Everlasting is but a favour from Mighty Yahuweh and nobody will gain it through good deeds alone. That is why those with a sincere heart who claim to be children of Abraham will find no problem to serve Yahuweh in full obedience as He commanded Israel through Moses in the TORAH.

The following is a compact glimpse of the Festival Days as commanded in Leviticus 23:14, 21, 31, & 41 emphasise that it is an eternal statue to keep them. The festival days are central to the true worship:

(a) SABBATH - is observed on the seventh day (Saturday) every week from sunset Friday evening to sunset Saturday evening. See Isaiah 56:1-8, 58:13-14; Nehemiah 13:15-22 and Jeremiah 17:19-27. On this day no money is handled except of course travelling money to attend gatherings when public transport must be utilized. The preparation of food takes place on Fridays before sunset. Exodus 16:22-29 elaborates on this.

The deliverance and protection against the angel of death is commemorated and also indicates our exodus from the land of sin by means of our eternal Passover Lamb Yahushua. The ceremony is preceded by the washing of feet according to John 13:4-17. Feet washing is also the opportunity to pray for your fellow-believer and it should come as no surprise that miracles occur at this occasion. The respectful commemoration of the sacrificial death of Yahushua remains however the central theme whereby He paid the redemption price for sin (Lawlessness).

(c) WEEK OF UNLEAVENED BREAD - During this week it is customary to eat unleavened bread or matzos. But the exercise is aimed at the deeper meaning of the believer examining his/her spiritual life to discard all the practices in his/her way of worship that cannot be scripturally accounted for.

Apostle Paul described it beautifully in 1 Corinthians 5:6-8. Our Messiah also gives strong guidance in this regard in Matthew 16:11-12. The first and last days of this week of "Unleavened Bread" are observed as festival days, rest days.

(d) PENTECOST - Many believers are under the impression that this a feast that originated after the ascension of Yahushua and they are totally unaware that this is a festival day that Yahuweh commanded in Leviticus 23. All believers probably yearn that Ruach HaKodesh (Spirit of Separation - Holy Spirit) will once more be poured out in a powerful way as on that day long ago.

This day is observed by Israel because the Law was given to Moses by Yahuweh. With the outpouring of Ruach HaKodesh the whole approach to the true worship was adapted in that the Law could be written on the tables of the believers' hearts. The prophet Ezekiel gives strong guidance in this regard in Ezekiel 36:26-27 as well as Jeremiah 31:33-36. This is the New Covenant or: The Renewal of the Eternal Covenant. The Old Covenant consisted of many laws that are still valid. But all the blood and washing offerings fell away according to Hebrews 10:3-18. Through the guidance of Ruach HaKodesh there develops a spontaneous desire to serve Yahuweh in full obedience to His Word from Genesis to Revelation.

(e) FEAST OF TRUMPETS - A Festival day when something tremendous is going to happen in the future because Yahuweh performs all His major works on that day according to Leviticus 23. The password for this day is thus: Be prepared for something good that awaits the faithful ones on that day.

The Feast of Trumpets is also the first day of the seventh scriptural month when several festive days occur. Many references to the trumpets are made in the Book of Revelation. See Revelation 10:7, 11:15, chapter 8 as well as Matthew 24:31; Zephaniah 1:14-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:51-52. Thus we see that the trumpet plays a significant role in Yahuweh's plan for mankind. Psalm 150:3 also gives strong guidance that it is worthwhile to praise Yahuweh as well as the verses that follow.

This is the day when the High Priest went into the most Separated (Holy) Place and Leviticus 16 gives a full description of the pattern whereby events take place. In spite of the fact that our sins have been washed away by the blood of Yahushua, believers observed this day to ask Yahuweh's favour for sins committed unwittingly. Isaiah 58:2-8 gives strong guidance and verse 4 mentions specifically: "ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high."

Fasting can also be regarded as a way of cleansing to hear Yahuweh's voice and humbling yourselves in order to see wherein we fail to serve our Heavenly father. This day is also a shadow of the future and the general expectation is that Israel (after the flesh) will on this day come to realise with remorse how they robbed themselves all these years. There is however very little that believers can do about the matter at this stage. However make a point of praying for Israel everyday. Zechariah 8:8-17 serves as the clue to indicate that the people will humble themselves and it is again a clear sign of Yahuweh's great plan to gather a cleansed people unto Himself.

(g) FEAST OF BOOTHS/TABERNACLES - This is the time of the year when believers leave their home to go and dwell in booths for eight days with spiritual family members. It starts off with the observance of a special festival day, a rest day. This si the occasion to study together the scriptures, search for the deeper truths and to get better equipped to serve Yahuweh in full obedience to every instruction in the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. You simply do not find anything similar in the church set up as a regular custom. It is a week of great joy and spiritual blessings. In Nehemiah 8:15-19 we read how the people after returning from exile were informed from the book of the Law that the Festive Days should be kept. Deuteronomy 31:10-13 also indicates that the Law should be read every seventh year during the Feast of Booths/Tabernacles in order that believers should once more take note of Yahuweh's eternal statutes for His chosen ones, to see the reality of it all.

(h) THE LAST GREAT DAY - This is a special festival day, a rest day, that follows seven days of the Feast of Booths/Tabernacles. This too has not been fulfilled yet. On this day great rejoicing takes place over the reality of the Law, with gladness of heart, knowing that all creation is subject to Yahuweh.

The distributors of this booklet have the prayer in the heart at this point, dear reader that you progress to the point where you will have the glad and precious assurance in your heart that your protection lies in being obedient to the Word from Genesis to Revelation. Only when you are going to be able to testify without inhibition: What I am doing is written in the Scriptures and I am striving to be obedient out of thankfulness and love for Him that first loved me.

This is the challenge that is presented to you with a prayerful heart and naturally there will be a price to be paid to endure persecution, ridicule and hatred for what you are doing out of thankfulness to honour Yahuweh with your walk through life.

EMPHASIS ON FEAR AND REVERENCE - The people of Israel were punished by Yahuweh many times because the fear for what He can do was no longer a reality to them and they did not obey His instructions and ordinances in the Torah. The modern believer does not always realise that the same principles are just as valid to this day. Just think on how many times the speed limits are broken every day and corruption takes place because "NOBODY" sees the offenders.

BECOME LIKE CHILDREN - Yahushua says in Matthew 18:3 "Very I say unto you, except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven." A Child identifies himself with the great men of the day who he/she sees performing in public or in films or on TV etc.

Think about it: Should we not become like children to identify ourselves with the great men in the Scriptures? Your life should thus progress to the stage that the Israel dimension and the New Covenant becomes a joyous reality according to Hebrews 8:10-11 and Jeremiah 31:31-36.

The King of Assyria according to 2 Kings 17:24-41 arranged that his subjects that occupied part of the Promised Land receive guidance how the Mighty One of Israel should be served. According to verses 32-33 they did as they were taught but they continued also to serve their false elohim (idols). You will have to go and search a long way to find a better example of mixed worship after people received instruction of the true worship and recognised it to a certain extent but still continued also with heathen practises. You will see in the following paragraphs how many pagan customs are still practiced with dedication to this day.

You are once more reminded that the information supplied is freely available at libraries, Bible schools and those who lead congregations and groups should be able to supply you with similar information. The author and the distributors of this booklet cordially invite you to: investigate this matter in accordance with 1 John 4:1.

Yahushua prophesied about it. Read in Matthew 13:24-30 the story about the darnel (tares) that were sown and crept into the true worship. Please notice that the farmer said that the darnel had to grow together with the wheat. At harvest time the weeds will be removed first in order that the true wheat alone be left for harvest.

1. SUNDAY INSTEAD OF SABBATH - The Sabbath is an eternal sign of the covenant given to Israel according to Exodus 31:12-17. Yahushua our Messiah also observed the Sabbath. In Colossians 2:16-17 Paul declares with full authority that we should not allow anybody to judge us according to a festive day, a sabbath or new moon. Sunday was instituted in place of the Sabbath by Roman leaders in the years 321-364 C.E. (Common Era) in order to appease the Gentiles.

Sunday was observed by gentiles as the day of the sun. There is no command anywhere in Scripture to transfer the seventh day Sabbath to the first day of the week. Many reasons are advanced such as observing the resurrection of Yahushua. However, this change was and is totally unscriptural.

2. CHRISTMAS AS THE BIRTHDAY OF YAHUSHUA - The Scriptures do not contain a command to celebrate the birth of our Messiah. This festival was observed long ago before the birth of Yahushua by the gentiles as a festival of the sun.

All this general frivolity, merry-making and incurring of debts which is typical of Christmas, has been practised for hundreds of years before our Messiah was born. After spirit-filled believers searched the Scriptures with a prayerful heart, Luke 1:5 stood out to take into consideration the duty timetable of the priests arranged by King David according to 1 Chronicles 24:10 to get the pattern to calculate the most likely time of birth to have been during the Feast of Booths/Tabernacles.

The observance of the death of Yahushua every year on the same day does not appear in the Scriptures either and for the same reason the resurrection of our Messiah cannot be observed every year on the same day.

Refer now to Matthew 12:38-42 where our Messiah Himself gave the Jews a clear sign. You can calculate it yourself whether three days and three nights can be fitted in from Good Friday afternoon to Easter morning.

5. CHANGING OF DAYS - According to the Roman calendar the days change at midnight (12 o'clock) while the Scriptures indicate that a new day starts at sunset. See Genesis 1, as well as Leviticus 23:32.

6. MONTHS AND DAYS - The names of the months of the Roman Calender can be traced back to Pagan elohim (idols/deities). The Scriptures indicate the month starts at the new moon and the festive days are calculated accordingly. Days of the week such as Wodan and Dodan are Germanic elohim (idols) that are sources of Wednesday and Thursday, among others.

(a) AMEN - The origin is traced back to the Egyptian deity AMEN-RA that is a sun elohim. The Hebrew AMEIN should be used and is a typical example of the small difference sometimes found between true and false worship. The meaning of the correct word is: "Let it be so."

(b) CHRIST - the origin is traced back to the Greek word CHRISTOS/CHRISTIANOS that points the way to sun worship. This is also a word that is fairly easily accepted by the Indian Krishna (Krista) worshippers.

(c) HOLY - This word is also traced back to Pagan worship (sunworship) with HEILE (beam of the sun). The English word HALO (holy ring around the heads of "pious" people) also gives a strong indication.

This is also a challenge to believers to become known that they are a separate people. Paul in Romans 12:2 gives strong guidance by declaring that the true believer should not be conformed to this world. This again ties in with the instructions given to Moses in the TORAH, and take note of Deuteronomy 28:58-64.

(i) Larth (Lard) - An Etruscan house deity who later became popular in Rome and became known as Lar(es) because as idol statues they were usually in pairs. This deity was invoked together with Janus, Jupiter, Mars, etc.

The Jews also got mixed up with the worshipping practices of the heathen nations during the Diaspora and learnt from them that the name of your Mighty One (God) should be used with reverence and only on special occasions. The name Adonai that the Jews use to honour the Heavenly Father is coupled to the paganistic idol of sex Adonis.

(f) GRACE - is traced back to the Latin word "gratia" which is the equivalent of the Greek naked idol "charis" from which the words charismatic and charity is derived. Who was this Charis? She was the wife of Hephaistos the fire deity.

There are many more words that bring the scriptural meaning across in dubious manner and more about it appears in the free publication: The Final Reformation also known as Come Out of Her My People by Dr. Chris J. Koster obtainable from:

Thus believers over the wide spectrum of worship who claim that they became children of Abraham, are obliged to observe all the instructions Yahuweh gave to Israel through His chosen servant Moses in the Torah.

We also trust with a prayerful heart that the impact of mixed worship is better understood and that you will realise how unscriptural practices crept into the true worship and should be classified as tares.

So we are rudely awakened to the fact that most believers claiming to be children of Abraham in all sincerity have their spiritual houses built partially on sand and partially on rock (Matthew 7:24-27). The time has come that our spiritual houses should be built on the Rock of Ages who is none other than Yahushua the Messiah of Israel (1 Peter 2:6-8). You should also be aware at all times of the fact that our Heavenly Father and His Son do not have double standards.

The instructions from Genesis to Revelation must be observed by all believers claiming to be the children of Abraham. Yahushua indicated in Luke 17:10 that we are obliged to do what we are commanded to. The prayer of the distributors is that you will do it with gladness for the rest of your life.

Last but not least, it should be emphasised that the importance to read the Scriptures daily must never be neglected, for thereby your soul is nourished with eternal truths in order that you may daily drink from the fountain of life (Jeremiah 2:13; John 4:14) and fed with manna from Heaven (Deuteronomy 8:3). Let us therefore no longer seek after the short-term benefits of this wicked world but gather treasures that are not destroyed by moth or rust (Matthew 6:19-21).
