IMPORTANCE OF USING THE NAMES

Our Heavenly Father clearly wants his people to use his name.

Here is one of the first statements from Yahweh about using his name.

Exodus 3:15 "And said also {The Mighty One} to Moses, 'say to the children of Israel, YAHWEH, {Mighty One} of your fathers, {Mighty One} of Abraham, {Mighty One} of Isaac, and {Mighty One} of Jacob has sent me to you; THIS IS MY NAME FOREVER, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation."

We are also told in Psalms to use his name:

Psalms 68:4 Sing unto Elohim, sing praises to his name; extol him that rideth upon the heavens BY HIS NAME YAH (poetically used for Yahweh in the Hebrew), and rejoice before him.

Psalms 105:1 Oh give thanks to YAHWEH, CALL UPON HIS NAME; make known among the peoples his doings.

The name of Messiah, the son, is Yahshua, which means "Yahweh is salvation" or "Yahweh saves". When we use this name we are honoring Yahweh, because we are actually saying "Yahweh is salvation".

Yahshua always directed the focus toward his father. And we now see, even in his name, he directs the focus toward his father.

HIS WORDS WERE HIS FATHER'S:
John 14:10 "...the words that I say to you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me does his works."

THE POWER WAS HIS FATHER'S:
John 14:28 "...I go to the Father : for my Father is greater than I."

HE INSTRUCTED US TO PRAY TO HIS FATHER (not to him):
Luke 11:2 "...When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name."

Names are not normally translated from one language to another, but transliterated; spelled in the second language so it is pronounced as in the original language. We would call Jose, Jose and Angelo, Angelo; the same is done with Gorbachev, Yeltsin, and Saddam Hussein. From what we have seen explained about the names of the Almighty Father and his Son, these names should be given honor and pronounced as in the original language; especially "Yahweh", since he said this was his name forever. So many names have been transliterated in the Bible; the Prophets, the Patriarchs and even Satan! Why then was the name "Yahweh," which is more important than all of these, substituted with "The LORD" or "God" in direct defiance to the first three scriptures at the top of this page?

Salvation in no other name:
Joel 2:31 (ASV) The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Yahweh cometh. 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yahweh shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as Yahweh has said, and among the remnant those whom Yahweh calls. [Verse 31 is clearly an "end time" statement.]

NOTE: The footnotes in most translations for Romans 10:13 and Acts 2:21, refer to Joel 2:31,32 above. Paul and Peter were quoting Joel, using Yahweh, not "Lord":

Roma 10:13 (KJS) For whosoever shall call upon the name of {Yahweh} shall be saved.
Acts 2:21 (KJS) And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of {Yahweh} shall be saved.

Acts 4:10 (KJS) Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Yahshua the Messiah of Nazareth, whom ye impaled, whom Yahweh raised from the dead, [even] by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. [Since the name "Yahshua" means "Yahweh is salvation", saying "Yahshua" still calls upon (evokes) the name of Yahweh.]

AS ONE SHOULD NOW SEE, USING THESE NAMES, AND NOT SUBSTITUTES, IS VERY IMPORTANT!

Note From Apenisa Naigulevu

I borrowed this with grateful appreciation from the following website: http://www.truthofyahweh.org/names.htm

Begin To Correct Your Biblical Knowledge: Check Genesis 3:22.

One problem with the English Translations of the Holy Scriptures is that they can lead people into dire deceit, particularly if one does not check that the scriptures have been correctly translated from the original Hebrew text.

Take an example. We are like Elohim (God) because we were created in his image, yes? Well not really, if we are to go by the Scriptures in the English Language. You see when Eve was tempted to eat the forbidden fruit, Satan said, “… You will not surely die. For Elohim knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like Elohim, knowing good and evil (Genesis 3:4-5)”. Eventually after Adam and Eve ate of the fruit, the scripture reads “Then Yahweh Elohim said, See, the man has become like ONE OF US, to know good and evil … (Gen 3:22). So, if we accept the English translations as is, then the Devil was correct in what he originally said, because it happened, didn’t it?

Therefore, it is absolutely correct to say that we are like Elohim because Adam and Eve disobeyed instructions and ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Right?

If this is so, then why did Yahweh punish the three and us their descendants up to this day? Why was the man chased out of the Garden of Eden? It does not add up does it? In fact there is something drastically wrong with the scriptures as it stands in the English language.

The answer is simple, but requires wisdom. The English Translators translated just one Hebrew word in the text wrongly, to read “ONE OF US” in spite of the fact the same word, (spelt, mem, mem, nun, vav roughly mmnu) which means, “from him”, and used as such in Gen 2:17, Gen 3:3, 3.5 and 3:11; whilst only in Gen 3:22, for unknown reason, it was translated “from us”, hence what we read in the English Bibles.

Given the above explanation, I believe that Gen 3:22, 24 should read “Then Yahweh Elohim said, See, the man has become like one from him (that is Satan’s group), to know good and evil … So He drove out the man …”

Knowing where these little errors are, can solve a lot of grey areas in the Bible and in your worship of Yahweh our elohim as a whole.

Give Yahweh the Glory Due His Name

(I have here used the work of Robert Brooks (my appreciation) inserting changes that I personally believe to make my point)

The English word “God” rightly should apply only to the Christian religion period. The name as a generic term applies to all the deities that are worshipped in the world, by all religions except the Hebrew deity.

The deity of the Holy Scriptures, is correctly called YHWH or Yahweh (“w” is pronounced slightly with a v sound, hence Yahveh). The ancient Hebrews were more specific. The English removed that specificity when it translated Elohim as God and YHWH as Lord (i.e. Baal).

Yahweh, our Elohim, has many names, amounting to many revelations of His Being. For instance:

I. The “EL” Revelations.

A) El – an ancient name for Yah

B) El Shaddai, rendered “ Almighty Elohim”
C) El Elyon, meaning “Exalted One,” “Most High”
D) El Olam: “Elohim the Everlasting One”
E) El Roi – “Elohim who sees me”
F) El Berith – “Elohim of the Covenant”
G) El Elohe – Israel – “El of Israel”
H) Elohim – the plural form of El, often in singular interpretation
I) El – often used in names as in Israel, Bethel, Ishmael, Samuel, Elijah, Elisha, Emmanuel, etc.

II. The Revelational Name, Adon; Translated “Lord,” is “master” if correctly translated

III. Yahweh is used 6,700 times as the primary name of the Elohim of Israel.

A) It means eternal. It is Israel’s major name for their Elohim. In English translations it is wrongly rendered “Lord” which is really Baal a pagan deity.
B) The Old Testament scholar, Charles A Briggs, asserts that the word “Jehovah” is a “linguistic monstrosity.” (Messianic Prophesy X1)
C) Geneses 4:26 states that after the birth of Seth “then men began to call on the name of Yahweh.” This probably means it was Yahweh, the True Elohim, they were worshipping. They may not, at this time. know His name. (Ex. 3:13)

IV. Yahweh tells Moses to inform Pharaoh that unless he will let His people go, He will send plagues upon Egypt. (Ex 9:13 –14) Thus He did!

V. Pharaoh consents to Israel’s exodus, but Pharaoh pursues them, and the Israelites are afraid when they reach the Red Sea. But Moses commands: “Stand still and see the salvation of Yahweh. . .” (Ex. 14:13). He then lifted his staff and “Yahweh caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind.” (Ex. 14:21) Thus Israel passed through the sea safely.

VI. It was Yahweh Elohim who provided for Israel as they murmured in the wilderness march.

A) “Then said Yahweh to Moses, Look, I will rain bread from heaven.” (Ex. 16:4)
B) Israel complained of thirst, and “Yahweh said. . . see I will stand before you. . . and you shall smite the rock” in Horeb, “and there shall come water out of it.” (Ex. 17: 5 – 6)
C) Upon their complaint of no meat, Yahweh sent them quails (Ex. 16: 12 – 13)
D) Amalek fought with Israel, but Israel defeated them through the power of Yahweh, who declared, “I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.” (Ex. 17: 8 -14)

VII. Yahweh gives the Ten Commandments. (Ex. 20: 1 – 3) “And Elohim spoke all these words, saying, I am Yahweh your Elohim. You shall have no other Elohim before me. . . “In Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy Yahweh is the Great Law-Giver.

VIII. After the death of Moses, Joshua is given the command to conquer corrupt, reprobate, past-repentance Canaan. Every place the sole of Joshua’s foot touches is given (by Yahweh) into his conquest. (Joshua 1: 1 – 3) Yahweh is unequivocally Israel’s Elohim to punish her in corrupting themselves in wicked compromise with the people and elohims of Canaan – resulting in Assyrian and Babylonian captivity.

IX. But Yahweh has mercy on Israel with free, undeserved grace. They are restored in their land.

X. The Psalms, Proverbs and prophets laud Yahweh in a concerted call to consecration.

A) The Psalms are illimitable in their laud of the Lord Yahweh.

1) Ps. 1 “Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
2) Ps. 5 “Give ear to my words, O Yahweh, consider my meditation.”
3) Ps. 6 “O Yahweh, do not rebuke me in anger. . . Have mercy on me, O Yahweh; for I am withered away.” Yahweh was praised in the Psalms and cried to for help and repentance!
4) “O Yahweh, our Elohim, how excellent is your name in all the earth. . .” (Ps. 8:1)
5) Endless are the words of praise, and endless are the cries for help to Yahweh in the Psalms!
6) “Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, O my soul. While I live I will praise Yahweh.” (Ps. 146)
7) The last Psalm, 150, begins “Praise you Yahweh” and ends “Let everything that hath breath praise Yahweh. Praise you Yahweh.”

B) Proverbs 1: 7 begins “The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge.”
C) The Prophets abound with a desire for positive relation with Yahweh. Only three will be shown:

1) Isaiah 6:3 – In Isaiah’s temple vision he sees and hears the seraphim’s cry to one another – “Holy, Holy, Holy is Yahweh of Host.”
2) Amos 9: 5 – 6 – “It is he that builds his chambers in the heavens, and hath founded his vault upon the earth.”
3) Malachi 4: 1 – 2 - “Says Yahweh of Hosts. . . to you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings.”

Conclusion:
Elohim’s Holy name, Yahweh appears 6,700 times in the Old Testament. We miss this through the English translations, because the Bible call him “Lord” which really is English for Baal.

“Give to Yahweh the glory due unto His name.” (Ps. 29: 2)

Sabbath Keeping/ Sabbath Breaking

The Hidden Message in the Book of First Timothy
by Bill Klimek

First let me say that this will not be an exhaustive study of this subject matter, but only a sampling of this subject to encourage you to do your own indepth study of words and their meanings, so that it is possible to rightly divide the word of truth.

There are numerous incidences of the use of four specific English words in the English translations of the New Covenant / Testament that are of a mysterious origin and often mistranslated from the Greek texts. The four words we are looking for are 'godly' when translated from 'eusebos'; 'ungodly' from 'asebos'; 'godliness' from 'eusebia'; and 'ungodliness' from 'asebia'.

The concept of Sabbath keeping was not a part of the Greek culture. There was never a Greek concept of Sabbath observance.Greeks transliterated the word 'Sabbath' as 'sabbaton' or any of several other variant spellings, each with their own grammatical distinctions. The Hebrew word /concept was rendered into a Greek near sound-alike word, not a translation into an existing Greek word:No such word ever existed.

In 1st Timothy 1:4 we see that the word 'godly' comes from the Greek word 'theos' or should I say, whenever you see the Greek word 'theos' it means 'god', 'godly' etc. There are also many other instances throughout scriptures where the English word 'godly' is tranaslated from [ Strongs' # 2153] 'eusebos' {yoo-seb-oce'}, but the Greeks had no concept of Sabbath keeping. This word has been loosely translated into English to mean 'pious' or 'godly'. However, look at the root word in 'eusebos'. It has been highlighted for easy identification of the root. 'Seb or 'Sab' is the root of the word communicating the concept of Sabbath. 'Theos' means 'god'; 'Seb' means 'Sabbath'. You won't find this well documented however, as it has literally been stricken from virtually all the commonly available bible reference books. It has been cleverly mistranslated and disguised for many centuries to hide the truth about the significance and importance of Sabbath-keeping, and the consequences of Sabbath-breaking, in the New Covenant Scriptures.

Let's go through the whole book of 1st Timothy and see if this message has been hidden from truth-seekers in the King James Version. [Note: This writer believes that the KJV with its many problems, is still the best English version available, but by no means is it perfect, nor is it without demonstrable error.] I'm sure there will be many scoffers, but truth-seekers will see the light of the Sabbath truth vividly portrayed throughout the whole context of this book. In brackets, I will put the Greek word so we can see if it is derived from 'theos' or from the root word 'seb'. If the word come from 'theos' I will leave it without further explanation. If it is derived from the root 'seb' I will restore the Sabbath concept to the original intent of the Apostle Paul.

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, [which is] our hope; 2 Unto Timothy, [my] own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. 3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly [theos] edifying which is in faith: [so do]. 5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and [of] a good conscience, and [of] faith unfeigned: 6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. 8 But we know that the law [is] good, if a man use it lawfully; 9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly[Sabbath breakers - asebes] and for sinners, for unholy and profane, or murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. 12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; 13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did [it] ignorantly in unbelief. 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 15 This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, [be] honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; 19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

Now we have just seen Paul instruct Timothy concerning the Commandments of Yahweh on Sabbath-breaking, the violation of the 4th Commandment; euthenasia of fathers and mothers the diametric opposite of the 5th Commandment; manslaying, the violation of the 6th Commandment; adulterery, the violation of the 7th Commandment; kidnapping (manstealing), the violation of the 8th Commandment; perjury, the bearing of false testimony against the life of an innocent party which is the violation of the 9th Commandment; and anything else that would be contrary to sound doctrine, which includes covetousness, the violation of the 10th Commandment. Isn't the order interesting? The root word 'seb' was found where one might expect to find mention of the violation of the 4th commandment (verse 9). That is not to say that 'ungodly' is not an appropriately related idea to the concept of violation of the Sabbath, but that in context, 'Sabbath-breaking' is the intended meaning originally given by Paul and suppressed in the KJV, and all other subsequent English-version translations! Let's continue with

Chapter 2.
1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness[Sabbath keeping - eusebeia] and honesty. 3 For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, [and] lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 But (which becometh women professing godliness [theosebeia - godly Sabbath keeping] ) with good works. 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
Here in Chapter 2 we came across a very interesting Greek word, 'theosebeia'. We have already seen that 'theo' or 'theos' means 'godly', or 'god', but this word would be translated as 'god-godly' if one were consistent with the translator's practice of rendering both these roots with the exact same meaning. Verse10 says "But which becometh women professing 'god-god' or 'god-godly' with good works." It doesn't make sense that way, does it? And the translators of this verse again performed their deft sleight of hand with the false pen of the scribe working falsehood (see Jeremiah 8:8). Beware of the (modern) Scribes! This verse should have read 'But which becometh women professing (true) Sabbath keeping to Elohim' [and] with good works."
A Jewish woman who is modest, sober, not puffed up or on display and knowing her place in Yahweh's plan would be doing the good works of keeping all Yahweh's Commandments, especially and emphatically, keeping the Sabbath.

Chapter 3
1 This [is] a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the called out of God?) 6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 8 Likewise [must] the deacons [be] grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being [found] blameless. 11 Even so [must their] wives [be] grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great oldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 14 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness[Sabbath keeping - eusebia]: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Very interesting! 'The mystery of godliness' is directly related to Sabbath keeping; but you would never know it from reading the KJV! How are these to related? One must stop doing one's own thing, one's own works to enter into the rest of the spirit. One must also stop working on the Sabbath Eve when the night comes in which no man can work. Just as there are seven days in the week, and the Sabbath is the seventh day, even so there have been six thousand years since the fall of Adam. Now we are preparing for the second coming of Yeshua who will set up his kingdom on the earth for another thousand years, the Sabbath millenium. The mystery of Sabbath keeping therefore, is to experience kingdom life in THIS age through the cessation of doing one's own works and entering into life in Messiah (Christ; meaning 'the anointing'; which is the express person of Yahushua, manifested in the life of a true believing individual) now. This understanding has been nearly eradicated in the translating of the original New Covenant scriptures into the English language. The latter day 'church' has changed Yahweh's commandment to keep Sabbath, into observing worship on another day, 'sun'day. Through blindly following the Babylonian tradition of sun worship, the modern 'church' is doing their own thing and not resting in the completed work of Yeshua, the true Jewish Messiah of the scriptures, who obeyed His Father by letting his own dead flesh rest in the grave on the weekly Sabbath, according to the commandment; see Luke 23:56. Contrary to the false tradition of a 'Sun'day resurrection that they base their error upon, the scriptures teach that the true gospel proclaims that Yeshua rose from the dead on THE THIRD DAY OF THE WEEK, 1st Cor. 15: 3-4; Not on a 'Sun' day!

The mystery of Sabbath keeping show us that the commandment to ceaseand to desist from doing one's own work on the Sabbath, one day each week, the day HE chooses, not the day of our choosing, contains the secret for access into life in the kingdom age:STOP DOING YOUR OWN WORKS BY TRUSTING IN THE COMPLETED WORK OF YESHUA! Yahweh's Fourth commandment is a cease and desist order, not a request or a suggestion.

I Timothy Chapter 4:
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. 7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself [rather] unto godliness [Sabbath Keeping - eusebia] 8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness [Sabbath Keeping - eusebia] is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 9 This [is] a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. 10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 11 These things command and teach. 12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

In verses7 and 8, you will see that Sabbath- keeping is 'godliness' as we understand the word in English, however we were never allowed, nor were we ever taught to see the two ideas put together as they were originally intended. Understand the truth that obeying the Sabbath of Yahweh "is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come." Verse11, "These things command and teach"! A-men!

I Timothy Chapter 5
1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat [him] as a father; [and] the younger men as brethren; 2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. 3 Honour widows that are widows indeed. 4 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety[keep Sabbath - eusebeo] at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. 5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. 6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. 8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man, 10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. 11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; 12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. 13 And withal they learn [to be] idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. 14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 15 For some are already turned aside after Satan. 16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed. 17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward. 19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. 20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 21 I charge [thee] before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality. 22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. 23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. 24 Some en's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some [men] they follow after. 25 Likewise also the good works [of some] are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

In Chapter 5, verse 4, the word 'eusebos' has been translated 'piety' resulting in the denial of the teaching that Sabbath keeping should first be learned at home. This is the most egregious offense to the Jewish women who were among the first believers in Yahushua. Sabbath keeping in the home, for Jewish women, is an institution enduring for more than three thousand years and by a stroke of the translator's pens, the Jewish roots and practices of the first recipients of the original, TRUE gospel, have been severed from the English versions of the New Covenant scriptures for the last five hundred years! Not only has this deliberate abuse of privilege prevented many Jews from giving any crediblity to Christianity at large, calling it a false religion because of 'christian' Sabbath rejection, and rightly so, but also from coming to a saving knowledge of the true Messiah. It has further enslaved many a christian to a form of religion that did not profit them at all through observing the empty tradition of their fathers; nor did 'the church' accomplish any deliverance in the earth.

I Timothy Chapter 6
1 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and [his] doctrine be not blasphemed. 2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise [them], because they are brethren; but rather do [them] service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort. 3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ [Rabbi Yahushua ha Mashiach], and to the doctrine which is according togodliness[Sabbath-keeping - eusebia]; 4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness [Sabbath-keeping - eusebia]: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But godliness [Sabbath-keeping - eusebia] with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness [Sabbath-keeping - eusebia], faith, love, patience, meekness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and [before] Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 14 That thou keep [this] commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15 Which in his times he shall shew, [who is] the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honour and power everlasting. Amen. 17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in tore for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace [be] with thee. Amen.
The whole book of 1st Timothy has been examined here, and we see that the Hebrew understanding of the Greek words translated into English as 'godly' or 'godliness', etc., never excludes the idea of Sabbath-keeping, for it is an integral element of seeking righteousness as much as faith, love, patience, meekness, etc.. Righteousness is impossible without the concept of keeping all Yahweh's commandments; especially including Sabbath-keeping, for if we break one commandment, we are guilty of breaking them all (James 2:10). First Timothy was written to a Sabbath-keeper by a Sabbath-keeper for potential Sabbath-keepers, so all men everywhere might know that Sabbath keeping, or Sabbath breaking for that matter, has eternal consequences: those who do their own works will have their works burnt up as wood, hay and stubble. But those who reject the Sabbath after being made aware of the truth, will have their part in the Lake of Fire alongside all of those who love and make lies and those who suppress the truth, for Yahweh has shown it to them.
The next time you run across the words, 'godly', 'ungodly', 'godliness' or 'ungodliness', you need to get out your Greek Interlinear and your Strong's concordance and look up the verses for yourself to find out if the Greek root 'theos' or the Hebrew root 'seb' is being translated. This is my challenge to you as you seek truth and understanding from the Ruach ha Qodesh [the Spirit that is set-apart, or the Holy Spirit].
In closing, there is a verse in Matthew worth examining closer.

Matthew 27:46 "And about the ninth hour Yahushua cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My El, my El, why hast thou forsaken me?"

Was our Messiah when on the crucifixion stake, uttering to His Father, "My El, My El, how I keep your Sabbath"? Has there been a world wide conspiracy by Satan to keep the knowledge of the importance of the Sabbath from Yahweh's people through deception, misdefinition and mistranslations? I know this is not the way it is preached or taught in the churches and synagogues but look at the root 'sab', stemming from the Hebrew word for 'Sabbath'. Not only was Messiah 'not forsaken' as we have been taught, but He was teaching us in His final flesh and blood lesson, by quoting the first phrase from the first verse of Psalm 22 and substituting the Aramaic word 'sabacthani' in place, that,whereas King David was in personal agony over 'feeling forsaken' [Hebrew word 'azab', or 'azavthani'], Yahushua had faith in obeying His Father's command, even in death.

To this end please consider the following passage of scripture:
Acts 2:29-36, (Peter speaking) "Men and brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is here with us to this day. Therefore, being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne. He, seeing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his (Messiah's) soul was not left in hell,neither did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore being by the right hand of God, exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. For David is not ascended into the heavens, but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand until I make thy foes thy footstool. Therefore, let all the House of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, both Lord and Christ.

According to Hebrew customs, when the first verse of a Chapter of the Old Testament is memorized, it becomes the 'hook' in memorization to knowing and recalling the contents of the rest of the Chapter so identified. Here, Messiah Yahushua is telling those gathered around Him to REMEMBER what the Scriptures said in Psalm22 because it was happening just as it had been foretold. Verses 13-18 describe the agony of the Messiah, the piercing of His hands and feet, and the dividing and casting lots for His garment. Our Messiah wanted them to recognize that He was the Messiah, and prophecy was being fulfilled before their very eyes; for their sakes. Isn't it interesting also, that the Fourth Commandment requires us to REMEMBER the Sabbath? It is the only one of the Ten Commandments specifically mentioned that we were to REMEMBER. Is it because our heavenly Father, Yahweh, knew His people would forget or be deceived away from keeping His Sabbaths? We believe Yahushua haMashiach was giving a message to us in this deceived generation that He kept His Father's Sabbaths (Feast Days and weekly Sabbaths) from His place of persecution, even to the point of death ....... and beyond!

Elohim’s Name Given to Moses

¶ And Moses said to Elohim, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt? 12 And Elohim said to him, I will be with you; and this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship Elohim upon this mountain. 13 And Moses said to Elohim, Look, when I go to the children of Israel and say to them, The Elohim of your fathers has sent me to you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? What shall I say to them? 14 And Elohim said to Moses, I am Ehyeh Asher Ehyer (that is, I am/will be what I am/will be); and he said, This is what you shall say to the children of Israel: Ehyer has sent me to you. 15 And Elohim said moreover to Moses, This is what you shall say to the children of Israel: Yahweh Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob, has sent me to you; this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial to all generations.

12 ¶ And Yahweh appeared to Solomon that night and said to him, I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice. 13 If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 If my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land. 15 And even now my eyes shall be open and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place. 16 For now I have chosen this house for myself, that my glory may be in it for ever, and that my good works and my will shall be done in the midst of it perpetually. 17 And as for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, with innocence of heart and uprightness, to do everything that I have commanded you and to observe my commandments and my statutes; 18 Then I will establish the throne of your kingdom for ever, as I have covenanted with David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a son in my presence to sit on the throne of Israel. 19 But if you turn away from my ways, both you and your children, and shall not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, and shall go and serve the idols of the nations and worship them; 20 Then I will scatter you out of this land which I have given you; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, I will uproot out of my sight, and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all nations. 21 And this house shall be in ruins, and every one passing by shall stand and shake his head in amazement, and say, Why has Yahweh done these to this great city and to this house? 22 And they will say, Because they forsook the covenant of Yahweh Elohim of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they went and revered the elohims of the Gentiles and served them and worshipped them; therefore Yahweh has brought all this evil upon them.
