Immediately prior to Israel entering the Promised Land, Moses called the 12 tribes together and admonished them to be faithful and true, keeping the mitzvot (commandments) of Yahweh their Elohim (God). Amongst the things he said was this:

"The land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven. It is a land Yahweh your Elohim (God) cares for; the eyes of Yahweh your Elohim (God) are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end...Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them" (Deut.11:11-12,16, NIV).

I don't usually speak to you at this time of the year because it isn't Israel's New Year and when our Heavenly Father said His eyes would be on the Promised Land "from the beginning of the year to its end" He didn't mean January 1st to December 31st, because the new year the world celebrates is the Roman New Year...or at least one of them because the world's calendars keep changing. Nor did He mean the false Jewish Rosh haShannah in the autumn (fall).

Messianic Evangelicals did not therefore stay up until midnight last night to 'see in' the new year nor do we regard this as the first day of the year. On the contrary, this is the 18th day of the 10th month in the Divine Calendar. New Year's day is not until March 14th this year. You see, today is the day of the heathen god of the Romans called Janus, from whom January takes its name and we do not honour that filthy demon. Rather, we remember that Yahweh said through Moses: "Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them". And if you are willing to honour one pagan god with fireworks or simply by wishing folks well for a year during Satan's calendar and perverted cycle, it won't be long before you start honouring other heathen gods too, as millions of Christians have been doing this Christmas past.

I haven't issued a warning about not assembling to honour Janus for three years now but this 'year' is rather 'special', as you know, not because I had planned to speak to you today with my own message (because I hadn't planned anything) but because Yahweh gave me an important vision yesterday morning which I am to share with you. This is the 66th Roman new year I have witnessed since I was born but it's not like any of the other ones before it. This one's different. However, there is nothing good about it whatsoever, nothing to celebrate about at all, even historically when, in pre-Civil War days in America, it was known as 'Hiring' or 'Heartbreak Day', as this was the day the slaves wondered if they were going to be rented out to someone else and thus splitting up their families, with children commonly being auctioned off.

Nevertheless today New Year's Day is viewed as a party time by most. In reality unrepentant souls, without consciously being aware of it, are once more celebrating that they have got away with yet another year of sinning without being held to account, supposing Yahweh will be long-suffering and full of mercy towards them indefinitely. And so it has always been. It was this way before the Great Flood, it was this way before the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians and the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans. It was this way before Israel was taken away captive by Assyria, and when Judah was taken away captive by Babylon, and when Judah was again taken away captive but this time, for a very, very long time, by Rome.

So, yes, Messianic Evangelicals have known that the Day of Janus or 'New Year's Day' was, and still is, a satanic high day. We have known for a long time that it originated with the Druids and that human sacrifices, male and female, between 15 and 33 years old, are made on vile and abominable altars all over the world by literally tens, if not, hundreds of thousands of devil-worshippers, as if that is not bad enough. So, no, there is nothing to celebrate today, there was nothing to celebrate last night at midnight either. Today is different, because of what is being sent out by Yahweh even as I speak now. And it is not, as yet another Pentecostal 'prophet', so-called, prophesied would happen today after a seven day period. So let me tell you what happened.

When the vision opened I was looking, from the side of a road as one might watch a procession. This road was the High or Main street of a small town or village, where a local community might hold a parade or celebration. It could have been anywhere in the world, and indeed it had no name, for it represented all human settlements, from the smallest hamlet to the greatest city and megalopolis. I saw to my right a bright light above and in the middle of the road. It was slowly moving from the east to the west - from my right to my left - along the road. As I strained my eyes I could see a human-like figure in midst of the light, of average human height, but a little taller. As the outline became clearer I could see that it was a supernatural Messenger of Yahweh, a malak or an angel. He was dressed in a long white robe tied with a sache around the waist and in his right hand he held out a large scepter with a sphere on top, also white, signifying the world. The Messenger of Elohim (God) moved slowly, deliberately, looking neither to the left nor the right, and swayed ever so slightly, and then disappeared out of view to my left. When I got up to write the account down, and replayed the vision in my mind's eye, I heard the words clearly, "Woe, woe unto the inhabitants of the earth!" and I knew in my spirit the malak (angel) was bringing a message of judgment to all human settlements. And as I repeated these words out aloud, I heard an emphatic and satisfied voice say, "AMEN!" with, interestingly, an American accent. Then I knew this would start in the United States.

There is an important detail here I want you to notice and that is the number of times the malak said "woe". There are only two places in the New Testament, both in the Book of Revelation, where a similar expression to "Woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth" is spoken. The first time is in Revelation 8:13 where there are three "woes" and the second in Revelation 12:2 where there is only one "woe" and the "sea" is included with the earth. Let me read them to you:

"And I looked, and I heard a malak (angel) flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, 'Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three malakim (angels) who are about to sound!'" (Rev.8:13, NKJV)

"Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time" (Rev.12:12, NKJV).

The Book of Revelation speaks of three 'woes' and tells us what the second woe is in chapter 11. Now remember, that this has nothng to do with the final judgment which occurs at the end of the æon or age. We are passing through the penultimate or last-but-one big Judgment of Yahweh so what we read in books like Revelation are not being literally fulfilled now even though many mistakenly think so. Rather, we are getting a foretaste of what is to come as the same prophetic tavnith or pattern unfolds.

This is only a dress rehearsal and even though unpleasant things are about to happen, this is only a 'type' or 'likeness' of what the final generation will experience because this time round the enemy is going to be defeated for a while to give believers a breathing space to repent so that we have more time to evangelise the lost, more time to get ourselves spiritually prepared and spiritually out of the world system, and more time to prepare for, and complete the already-begun Last Exodus.

And though, yes, judgment is coming to the wicked, it is also coming to the Body of Christ so that there may be a partial cleansing and separation. And it will begin by exposing all the false prophets to show them that they do not operate in the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit) but some other religious spirit which they know not what it is, or otherwise the flesh. For their own good, they have to let go of a lot of things which they feel are important to them and return to Torah-obedience before they can be properly used as they want to be. They can repent right now by promising never to celebrate this wicked pagan new year again but to cast their eyes instead to the divine month of Aviv and join us in celebrating the nativity and new year then. A similar calling is going out to messianics deceived by the false traditions of Judaism.

Revelation chapter 11, that speaks of the second woe, is about the "two olive trees" or nevi'im (prophets) of whom it is said:

"And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire" (Rev.11:5-6, NKJV).

I repeat, these verses are not about to be literally fulfilled but you will see something like it happen in the vanquishing of the enemies of Yahweh. I will leave you to read the 11th chapter for yourselves but don't get carried away with over-active imaginations as is typical of those whose minds are undisciplined by wisdom or revelation. Prophets don't hope they're right, they know they are. Just be aware that we are about to pass through a dress rehearsal of the very end-time events of which the Book of Revelation specifically speaks. A lot has yet to happen so stay calm and sober and take one day at a time.

You men, do what Yahweh tells you each day, gather your families, instruct them in the keys of emet (truth) that you have received, and implement them personally and together as families. Be physically prepared too. Then network like-minded families together in praise, study and worship during the divine moedim or appointments of the Father each monthly Rosh Chodesh (New Moon), each weekly Creation Sabbath and each annual festival and watch the kingdom grow. And stay in touch with other home gatherings!

Thomas Merton said that "faith is a principle of questioning and struggle before it becomes a principle of certitude and peace". It doesn't come on a plate. You can't just have faith in any old thing. It's a living principle and it's proactive. It involves a 'doing' response. It is for you to dig deep into the Davar (Word) so that you may come to know Elohim (God) as He really is and not as you vaguely imagine. "Do not believe all you hear" (Sirach 8:19:16, JB), "do not beggar yourself by banqueting on credit when there is nothing in your pocket" (Sirach 18:33, JB) and above all "do not say, 'Yahweh was responsible for my sinning' for He is never the cause of what He hates" (Sirach 15:11, JB) [1]. Clean out your closets thoroughly, unclutter your minds, get rid of all the traditions of men whether they be religious or irreligious and adhere only to the plain emet (truth) for this alone will sustain you in the days head. There is to be a winter of great discontent. Therefore supplicate Yahweh with all your hearts that He may show mercy to us all and lead us safely through.

May Yahweh bless you all, my friends, and may you find inward peace and prosperity in the Saviour of the world, Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ). Amen.
