Fourth Commandment of the Bible

The Fourth Commandment of the Ten Commandments of Yahweh, the Father in heaven, from the Scripture

Hello. Welcome back to another episode of the educational podcast, where we delve into the ancient texts of the Bible and explore the timeless wisdom they hold. I’m Elder Dan, your host.

Today, we’re talking about the Fourth Commandment of the Bible, one of the most iconic and widely recognized commandments from the Ten Commandments of the Bible. Join me as we examine the words of Yahweh on the subject of rest and Sabbath.

This episode is also available to listen FREE in other Pod Networks below.

The Fourth Commandment in the Ten Commandments of Almighty Yahweh, the Father in heaven, can be found in Exodus 20:8 and Deuteronomy 5:12 in the Holy Scripture. It’s a simple yet profound statement that reads: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.”

So, what does this commandment mean? On the surface, it seems straightforward. Yahweh is telling us to remember the Sabbath and set aside one day a week to rest, reflect, and worship. But let’s dig deeper. In ancient Israel, the Sabbath was a day of rest from physical labor. It was a day when people could recharge their energies, spend time with family and friends, and focus on spiritual pursuits.

But there’s more to this commandment than just a day off. The Sabbath is a reminder that Yahweh is the Creator of the universe, and that He is our ultimate provider. It’s a time to acknowledge His sovereignty and trust in His goodness. As we rest, we’re reminded that Yahweh, our Elohim, will love and accept us in His Kingdom by faithfully and sincerely honoring His Sabbath.

So, what day is the appointed day of Sabbath? In the Bible, there’s no ambiguity – it’s Saturday, the Seventh Day. From Genesis 2:2-3, we see that Yahweh rested on the Seventh Day after creating the world. And in Exodus 20:8-11, we’re commanded to remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.

But why Saturday? Why not Sunday or another day of the week? Well, my friends, it’s because Saturday is the only day that aligns with Yahweh’s creation story. It’s the only day that commemorates His rest and our own rest in Him.

Yes, the Bible explicitly states that the Sabbath is to be observed on the seventh day of the week (Exodus 20:8-11; Deuteronomy 5:12-15). The early Church continued to observe Saturday as their Sabbath day (Acts 13:14; Acts 17:2; 1 Corinthians 16:2).

And let’s not forget that Yahshua Himself kept the Sabbath on Saturday. In Mark 1:21 and Luke 4:16, we see that Yahshua attended synagogue services on Saturday mornings, where He would read scripture and teach about Yahweh’s Kingdom.

So, what does this mean for us today? It means that we should prioritize our Sabbath rest on Saturday. We should set aside time for worship, prayer, and reflection on this day. We should also use this time to connect spiritually with our brothers and sisters in the faith, and to engage in activities that bring us joy and peace.

Yes, we need to prioritize rest and our spiritual life. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in workaholic tendencies and neglect our own well-being. But Yahweh says that rest is essential for our spiritual growth and overall health.

Additionally, we can use our Sabbath time to worship Yahweh in creative ways. Whether it’s reading Scripture, singing hymns, or simply enjoying nature, we can use this time to reconnect with our Creator and express our gratitude.

And let’s not forget that the Sabbath is not just about us; it’s also about community. In biblical times, people would often gather together on the Sabbath for worship and to socialize spiritually. We can do the same today by setting aside time with family and friends to share meals, tell stories, and build relationships.

And finally, let’s always remember that keeping the Sabbath is all about honoring Elohim’s creation story. By keeping Saturday as our Sabbath day, we’re acknowledging Yahweh’s sovereignty over all things.

That’s all for today’s episode of the educational podcast, brethren. Join me next time as we explore more of the Bible’s wisdom on living a life that honors Almighty Yahweh and Yahshua the Messiah.

Before I go, let me pray this prayer for you: May Yahweh bless you and keep you; may Yahweh make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may Yahweh lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. I humbly pray these things to Yahweh through Yahshua, the true name of the Messiah, our Master, and coming King, amen. May you have the eyes to see and the ears to hear for this heavenly message. Pray for peace in Yerushalayim. Halleluyah!

Yahshua, the One True Master the Bible Speaks of

The meaning and significance of Yahshua, the Messiah, as the One Master the Bible Talks About

Yahshua, the One true Master the Bible speaks of, is the subject of this podcast. Do not miss out on this very crucial and eye-opening episode.

Hello. My name is Elder Dan, your host. Welcome to the educational podcast, a podcast where we dive into the depths of Scripture to uncover the profound reality that shape our true understanding of the Bible and our faith.

Today, we’re exploring a phrase that’s often overlooked, but carries immense significance for our spiritual lives. It’s a phrase that’s mentioned in Ephesians 4:5-6, where the apostle Paul writes, “One Master, one faith, one baptism.” For the reference about it, click here.

In this episode, we’re going to unwrap what it means to have one Master, and how it can revolutionize our relationship with Messiah Yahshua.

If you would rather listen to this, just click the play button below. 🙂

This episode is also available to listen FREE in other Pod Networks below.

So, what does it mean to have one Master? On the surface, it seems like a simple concept. We’re talking about one Elohim, one supreme authority in our lives. But let’s dive deeper. The Bible tells us that there are many gods and many masters, and that people are worshipping them in one way or another. Yes, people are worshipping their careers, their relationships, their social media feeds – you name it. But Paul is saying that there’s only one Master who deserves our ultimate allegiance.

Think about it like this. When we put our trust in anything or anyone else besides Yahshua, we’re essentially saying that they’re more important to us than He is. We’re saying that their approval is more valuable than His. And that’s a dangerous game to play. Because when we’re living under the influence of someone or something else, we’re not living under the authority of Messiah. And that’s where trouble starts.

But when we have one Master, everything changes. It’s like having a North Star to guide us through life’s storms. We know that no matter what challenges we face, we can always count on Yahshua to be our rock, our refuge, and our salvation. We know that He’s always working for our good, even when things seem darkest.

So, what does this look like in practical terms? Well, for one thing, it means that we need to prioritize time with Yahshua as Yahweh’s appointed Savior of humanity. We need to make Him a priority in our daily lives. That means waking up earlier to spend time in prayer and reading the Bible, or taking a few minutes each day to reflect on His goodness and provision.

It also means that we need to be intentional about eliminating idolatry from our lives. That means stopping to worship false deities and statues, setting boundaries with social media or saying no to certain activities that are taking us away from Yahweh and Yahshua. Whatever it looks like for you, the key is to be intentional about keeping Messiah at the center of your life.

Meanwhile, let us all take a step back and look at who Yahshua is as a Master and Elohim. Do you believe you really know Him enough?

According to John 1:1-5, Yahshua is not just a man or a prophet – He is also an Elohim! The Bible says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.” In other words, Yahshua is eternally existing as Elohim, alongside Yahweh the Father. This is a mind-blowing concept, isn’t it? The idea that Yahshua is not just a created being, but rather He is also an Elohim Himself!

But what does this mean for our spiritual lives? It means that when we put our faith in Yahshua, we’re not just putting our trust in a good man or a great teacher – we’re putting our trust in Elohim himself. We’re saying that Yahshua is the one who deserves our ultimate allegiance, our worship, and our devotion.

And that’s what Ephesians 4:5-6 is saying – that there’s only one Master who deserves our ultimate allegiance. And that Master is Yahshua the Messiah. When we have one Master, we’re not divided between different gods or idols. We’re not trying to serve multiple masters. We’re fully committed to following Yahshua and His teachings.

You know, when we put our faith in Yahshua, we’re not just getting a new set of rules or guidelines, but we’re getting a new identity! We’re becoming children of Elohim, adopted into His family through faith in Messiah. And with that comes a level of intimacy and connection with Almighty Yahweh and Master Yahshua that’s hard to describe.

And finally, having one Master means that we need to be okay with not being okay. We need to be willing to surrender our control and trust in His sovereignty. Because when we do that, we open ourselves up to a level of freedom and joy that we never thought possible.

That’s it for today, brethren. Thank you for joining me on this episode of the educational podcast. Remember, having one Master is not just a biblical concept – yes, it’s a life-changing reality!

Third Commandment of the Bible

The Third Commandment of the Ten Commandments of Yahweh, the Father in heaven, from the Scripture

Hello. Welcome back to another episode of the educational podcast, where we will explore the the Ten Commandments given to us by Almighty Yahweh, the Father in heaven, in the Bible. Today, we’ll be diving into the Third Commandment, which can be found in Exodus 20:7 and Deuteronomy 5:11.

If you would rather listen to this, just click the play button below. 🙂

This episode is also available to listen FREE in other Pod Networks below.

The Third Commandment states, “You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your Elohim, for Yahweh will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name.” At first glance, this commandment may seem simple enough – don’t use Yahweh’s name in vain. But when we really stop to think about it, there is much more to it than meets the eye.

Using Yahweh’s name in vain isn’t just about refraining from cursing or swearing using His name. It also includes using His name flippantly, trivializing it, or using it to manipulate others. Essentially, it’s about showing respect and reverence towards Yahweh and recognizing the power and holiness of His name.

In ancient times, a person’s name was synonymous with their identity and character. When Elohim gave Moses the commandments, He was revealing His true character to His people. So, to misuse Yahweh’s name is to disrespect His very nature and essence.

But why is the Third Commandment so important? It’s all about understanding the power of words. In Genesis, Yahweh created the world through His words, speaking it into existence. Our words have the power to build up or tear down, to create or destroy. So, when we misuse Elohim’s name, we are essentially defiling something sacred and powerful.

Yes, our words have the ability to shape our reality and influence those around us. By honoring Yahweh’s name and using it with reverence, we are acknowledging His sovereignty and reflecting His character in our own lives.

So, how can we apply the third commandment to our lives today? It starts with being mindful of the words we speak. Instead of using Elohim’s name as a casual exclamation or as a means to manipulate others, let’s use it to uplift and honor Him. Let’s speak life-giving words that reflect Yahweh’s love and grace.

As we continue to explore the Third Commandment and the rest of the Ten Commandments, let us remember that Yahweh’s decrees are meant to guide us towards a life of holiness and obedience.

Meanwhile, this part of my message is very, very important, so please listen carefully and pay serious attention! Many people often refer to the Creator simply as “God,” but it’s essential to remember that this is just a title, not the true name of our Heavenly Father. The correct name of the Almighty Creator is YHWH or Yahweh, and using His correct name shows reverence and respect.

So, let us make sure not to confuse the title: G-O-D or “God” with the true name of the Almighty Creator, Yahweh. Let’s honor Him by using His correct name with reverence and respect in all that we do. Thank you for tuning in, and may you continue to walk in the light of Elohim’s truth.

Overall, let us honor Yahweh’s name and reflect His character through the power of our words. Thanks for joining me in today’s episode of the educational podcast. Until next time, stay blessed.

Before I go, let me pray this prayer for you: May Yahweh bless you and keep you; may Yahweh make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may Yahweh lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. I humbly pray these things to Yahweh through Yahshua, the true name of the Messiah, our Master, and coming King, amen. Pray for peace in Yerushalayim. Halleluyah, shalom!

The Consequences of Pride: Lessons from Leviticus 26

Heeding the warning about the importance of repentance and obedience to Yahweh in heaven

Today, I am sharing the consequences of pride and its lessons from Leviticus 26 of the Holy Scripture. You must know these things now! Consider yourself blessed for being here and reading this key message.

Hello and welcome to the educational podcast, the free podcast on spiritual truths based on Bible that delves into the unvarnished realities of this world. I’m your host, Elder Dan. In this blog, I’ll be exploring a critical topic that’s been hidden in plain sight. I’m going to talk about the pride of power and how it’s been the downfall of nations that have refused to obey Yahweh’s laws.

If you would rather listen to this, just click the play button below. 🙂

This episode is also available to listen FREE in other Pod Networks below.

In Leviticus 26:19-25, we find a dire warning from Yahweh to His people. He says, “I will break the pride of your power; I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. Your strength shall be spent in vain, for your land shall not yield its produce, and the trees of the land shall not yield their fruit.” This passage is not just a historical warning to the Israelites, but a timeless principle that applies to all nations that reject Yahweh’s sovereignty.

When nations forget their place under Yahweh’s authority, they begin to believe they’re the masters of their own destiny. They think they can defy Yahweh’s laws and get away with it. But Yahweh is not mocked. He will not be ignored. And when He sees a nation’s pride and arrogance, He will break it.

We see this principle play out throughout history. Empires rise and fall, and often, it’s their own pride and corruption that bring about their downfall. The ancient Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Romans – all of them thought they were invincible, that they could defy Yahweh and get away with it. But Yahweh had other plans.

Today, we see the same pattern repeating itself. Nations that once acknowledged Yahweh’s sovereignty now reject Him, thinking they can create their own utopia without His guidance. Yes, these are English-speaking countries, including the United States of America. But Yahweh is not silent. He’s watching, and He’s waiting. And when the time is right, He will break the pride of their power.

So, what can we do? How can we avoid this fate? The answer is very simple: humility! We must recognize our place under Yahweh’s authority and submit to His laws. We must acknowledge that our strength comes from Him, and that without Him, all of us are nothing and not worthy of anything good in this life.

Yes, the consequences of pride and its lessons from Leviticus 26 of the Bible cannot be taken lightly and its heavenly message cannot be overstated.

That’s it for today’s episode of educational podcast. Remember, the pride of power is a deadly sin, and Yahweh, the Creator and Father in heaven will not be mocked, according to the Bible in Galatians 6:7! Therefore, let’s humble ourselves before Him, and seek His righteous guidance as our Elohim in all that we say and do.

Thanks for tuning in, folks. Join me again next time for more thought-provoking Bible truths you won’t hear preached in mainstream religions. And don’t forget to check out this humble website often for more helpful resources and articles on real biblical truths that I always share for free!

Before I go, let me pray this prayer for you: May Yahweh bless you and keep you; may Yahweh make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may Yahweh lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. I humbly pray these things to Yahweh through Yahshua, the true name of the Messiah, Master, and coming King, amen. Halleluyah, shalom!

2024 Total Solar Eclipse: Its Hidden Message to Humanity

The Message of Yahweh to all Humanity and Nations for the Upcoming Total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024

In today’s podcast episode, I’ll talk about the 2024 total solar eclipse and its hidden message to humanity. Greetings and welcome to the educational podcast. My name is Elder Dan, your host. And now let me direct your good spirit to the upcoming Great Eclipse of 2024!

The closer we come to the total solar eclipse that will happen next week on April 8, 2024, I am amazed at how many signs that Yahweh is showing to His elect by this amazing sign in the heavens.

If you would rather listen to this, just click the play button below. 🙂

This episode is also available to listen FREE in other Pod Networks below.

Yahweh set the pattern in Genesis 1:14 that He would use the heavenly lights (sun, moon, and stars) for prophetic warnings to His remnant.

And yes, this total solar eclipse heavenly sign will make an X pattern, or in Hebrew, a Taw, across the United States of America with the first part of the eclipse that happened in 2017.

And yes, it will pass near 7 cities on its path that are named Ninevah. And yes, it will pass near a city named Jonah and a city named Little Egypt.

Also, it is true that the European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN) is starting their collider on April 8th, hoping to get information on black holes. And yes, it is true the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will be firing 3 rockets up into the eclipse to study certain elements of it.

It is also true that the eclipse is passing over a gigantic fault line in the United States. It is also true that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has issued warnings to people to have food and water stored in case of emergencies.

However, as the true remnant of Yahweh, please don’t get caught up in the rabbit trail that the Babylonian money-making scoundrels use each time a heavenly sign is given by Yahweh.

Nothing is prophesied to happen on April 8th, except the heavenly sign that Yahweh is giving to warn His people to the closeness of the times.

Don’t listen to false religious ministers claiming a great earthquake will happen on April 8, 2024. Or they say the power grid across America will go down on that day, or that Russia will attack the USA with a nuclear weapon this coming Monday.

Furthermore, don’t listen to false prophecy preachers claiming all these calamities will happen on April 8th, when nothing in Scripture states so. They are only setting up the faithless society around us to say afterward on April 9th, “You see I told you so; nothing happened yesterday; the Bible is false.”

Yes, these same hirelings pulled the same thing in 2017, even writing books on the signs, and after the sign happened, not warning Yahweh’s people, but simply going to their next money-making ideas.

Remember that an “owth” (O-W-T-H) is just a sign, as when you are traveling somewhere and you see a road sign. The road sign does nothing but direct you to the path that you should go, and the amount of time it will take to get there.

If anything, the only timeframe that could possibly be connected to this sign could be the number 40, which is how many days Jonah told Ninevah they had to repent. Forty is a number of trials or overcomings, depending on how you react to the sign given by Yahweh.

But since this particular sign and its date are not specifically written in Scripture, we can only speculate if something will happen to America in either 40 days or 40 months, as the times belong to Yahweh.

So then, if that is the case, then why is there any significance to the eclipse coming on April 8th at all?

The answer is that Yahweh has prophesied that these signs would be markers to show His people that the coming of His Kingdom is getting closer and that they need to change direction in their lives.

Yes, the heavenly signs Yahweh is giving are not for charlatans to write books and make money! And it is not for people to buy eclipse glasses and take a vacation and drink beer and watch the eclipse, but it is a last ditch effort by our Heavenly Father Yahweh to wake up the people to repent! Yahweh’s day of wrath will come unless the people change direction quickly.

The people of Ninevah repented at the heavenly eclipse, not because they saw some miracle happen on the day of the eclipse. Instead, they saw the eclipse itself as a warning from Elohim that change needed to be made.

Most likely nothing except the eclipse itself will happen this Monday (April 8th, 2024), but the reason for the eclipse is to prove to mankind that this heavenly sign is truly from Yahweh. Yes, His wrath is getting nearer by the day!

Remember, Almighty Yahweh uses heavenly signs as his “owth,” so that it cannot be manipulated by man, as if scripture said a certain river will dry up, man can make dams and artificially make this happen. Or if it said you will know the end time by the water turning to blood, man can manipulate and put red coloring in a water source to make that happen.

But mankind cannot go into the heavens and force the sun to turn black or the moon to become red. Man cannot make the 7 planets to align with the earth and the moon on the day of the eclipse.

That is why Yahweh gave this particular heavenly sign to show us that we need to change course in our lives and return to following Yahweh and His Word, the Bible.

Now, you have just learned the true hidden message of Almighty Yahweh to all of humanity and nations about the coming 2024 total solar eclipse!

But let us ask Yahweh, our Elohim, to open the minds of the people to turn away from the mindset of signs and wonders to a mindset of real obedience, true repentance, and humbling ourselves before Him.

Again, I’m Elder Dan. Thank you for joining me for this episode of the educational podcast, the home of free podcasts for the real truths of the Bible. Tune in next time as we continue our exploration of the rich and profound teachings found in both the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Scripture.

Before I go, let me pray this prayer for you: May Yahweh bless you and keep you; may Yahweh make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may Yahweh lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. I humbly pray these things to Yahweh in the precious name of Yahshua the Messiah, amen. Halleluyah, shalom!

The Feast of Unleavened Bread: Greeting and Message

The Holy Day Feast of the Unleavened Bread: Its true meaning and significance for the Jews and non-Jews

Welcome back to another episode of the educational podcast. I’m Elder Dan, your host. Today, I am diving into the meaning and significance of the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the Bible for the Jewish people and for the world.

If you would rather listen to this, just click the play button below. 🙂

This episode is also available to listen FREE in other Pod Networks below.

The Feast of Unleavened Bread, also known as Chag HaMatzot, is a week-long festival that follows immediately after Passover. This feast commemorates the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt, where they were slaves, and the haste with which they had to leave, not even having time for their bread to rise. As a result, during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Jewish people eat unleavened bread, or matzah, to remember this time of hardship and deliverance.

In the Book of Exodus, Yahweh commands the Israelites to eat unleavened bread during this festival to remember how they hurriedly left Egypt and did not have time to let their bread rise. This act symbolizes their dependence on Elohim’s provision and protection during their journey to freedom.

But the significance of this feast goes beyond just a remembrance of the past. It also holds important spiritual symbolism. Leaven, or yeast, is often used in the Bible as a metaphor for sin and corruption. By removing leaven from their homes and diets during this festival, the Jewish people symbolically cleanse themselves of sin and strive for purity and holiness.

In a broader sense, the Feast of Unleavened Bread serves as a reminder for all of us to strive for righteousness and freedom from sin. Just as the Israelites were delivered from bondage in Egypt, we too can be set free from the chains of sin through the sacrifice of Yahshua the Messiah.

The symbolism of the Feast of Unleavened Bread can also be seen in the New Testament. In 1 Corinthians 5:7-8, the apostle Paul likens leaven to sin and urges believers to cleanse themselves of sin in order to become a new lump, free from corruption. Just as the Israelites had to remove leaven from their homes during the feast, we too, must rid ourselves of sin in order to live a life pleasing to Almighty Yahweh, our Father in heaven.

So, as we reflect on the significance of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, let us remember the importance of striving for purity, holiness, and freedom from sin. May we all be inspired to walk in righteousness and follow in the footsteps of the Israelites as they journeyed from slavery to freedom.

Thank you for joining me for this episode of the educational podcast, the home of free podcasts for the real truths of the Bible. Tune in next time as we continue our exploration of the rich and profound teachings found in the Holy Scripture.

Before I go, let me pray this prayer for you: May Yahweh bless you and keep you; may Yahweh make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may Yahweh lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. I humbly pray these things to Yahweh in the precious name of Yahshua, the Messiah.

Now, my departing greetings to all the brethren and to those of the same faith who commemorate the holy Feast of the Unleavened Bread. May the Almighty Yahweh, our Elohim in heaven, keep you safe and bless you. And do not forget to keep praying for the shalom of Yerushalayim. Halleluyah, amen.

The Bible’s Passover Holy Day: Greeting and Message

Passover Holy Day: Its true meaning and significance for the Jewish people and for the rest of the world

Hello, my beloved brethren and dear listeners. Welcome to another episode of the educational podcast, the home of podcasts for real Bible truths. I’m Elder Dan, your host. Today, I’m exploring the tradition and true importance of the Passover holy day as described in the Scripture.

If you would rather listen to this, just click the play button below. 🙂

This episode is also available to listen FREE in other Pod Networks below.

Passover, known as Pesach in Hebrew, holds a pivotal place in the Biblical narrative. It commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, as described in the Bible’s Book of Exodus, Chapter 12. The story unfolds with Moses leading his people out of the land of Egypt, guided by the divine intervention of Elohim.

The Passover story centers around the tenth plague, where the Angel of Death passed over the homes of the Israelites marked with the blood of a sacrificed lamb. This act of protection ultimately led to the freedom of the Israelites and gave birth to the tradition of Passover.

In the book of Exodus, Yahweh commands the Israelites to observe Passover as a perpetual memorial, a time to remember their deliverance from slavery. The rituals and customs associated with Passover are detailed in the Bible, with an emphasis on the importance of unleavened bread, bitter herbs, and the Passover lamb.

The Passover Seder, a ceremonial meal held on the first night of Passover, is a time-honored tradition that brings together family and friends to retell the story of liberation. Through symbolic foods and readings from the Haggadah, participants are transported back in time to experience the journey of their ancestors.

Note that Passover in the Bible is not just a historical event but a powerful symbol of liberation, faith, and resilience. It serves as a reminder of the enduring connection between the past and the present, urging us to reflect on our own paths to freedom and redemption.

Meanwhile, the Easter celebration – a holiday commonly associated with Christianity is very much popular in today’s religious culture. But did you know that its roots actually lie in ancient pagan traditions? Yes, archaeological evidence suggests that the name “Easter” itself originates from Eostre, the Germanic goddess of spring and fertility. Eostre’s festival was celebrated during the vernal equinox, symbolizing a time of rebirth and new beginnings.

Many pagan traditions involved the use of symbols such as eggs and rabbits, just like the Christian celebration of Easter, to represent fertility and renewal. Throwing colored eggs as offerings to the false gods was a common practice in ancient Persian, Greek, and Egyptian cultures, and they believed them to bring prosperity and abundance.

The presence of the Easter bunny also has pagan roots, as rabbits were seen as creatures of fertility in various ancient societies. The tradition of hiding eggs for children to find may have originated from the concept of hunting for offerings in the fields to ensure a bountiful harvest. This pagan tradition was eventually adopted by Christians, who began to use eggs as a symbol of the resurrection of the one they call “Jesus.” Yes, the name of humanity’s Savior is Yahshua; it is not and never will be Jesus! Click here to read and learn more about this amazing truth, which so many do not know!

So yes, next time you’re enjoying an Easter egg hunt or decorating eggs with your family, remember that these traditions have pagan origins that the Bible condemns! Yes, mainstream Christianity should know better.

As I conclude this exploration of Passover in the Bible, I invite you to delve deeper into the sacred Passover tradition, not the Easter pagan tradition, and discover the timeless truths it holds. Join me next time for another insightful and always-free podcast episode as I continue our journey through the wonders of history and culture from Holy Scripture.

Thank you for listening and joining me today. Kindly share this podcast with your family and friends seeking for the real truths of the Bible. Before I go, let me pray this prayer for you: May Yahweh bless you and keep you; may Yahweh make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may Yahweh lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. I humbly pray these things to Yahweh in the precious name of Yahshua, the Messiah, amen. Halleluyah, shalom!

Second Commandment of the Bible

The 2nd Commandment of the Bible: Word of Yahweh

Welcome to the educational podcast, the home for podcasts of genuine Bible truths in their contexts and meanings. I’m Elder Dan, your host. Today, I will explore and share the Second Commandment from the Ten Commandments given by Almighty Yahweh, the Father in heaven, to His people. So grab your Bible and let’s delve into this very important piece of Holy Scripture.

If you would rather listen to this, just click the play button below. 🙂

This episode is also available to listen FREE in other Pod Networks below.

The Second Commandment can be found in Exodus 20:4-6 and Deuteronomy 5:8 and it reads, “You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, Yahweh, your Elohim, am a jealous El, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.”

This commandment is clear in its rejection of idolatry, which is defined as worshipping false gods, idols made by human hands, or putting anything before our relationship with Yahweh.

It is important to note that this commandment does not prohibit all forms of art or imagery. Rather, it specifically condemns creating idols for worship. This was a common practice in ancient times when people would fashion physical representations of gods and goddesses to pray to and seek favor from.

But why is this commandment so crucial? Why does Yahweh care so much about His people avoiding idolatry?

One reason why idolatry is so detrimental is that it undermines our faith and trust in Yahweh alone. When we place our hope and devotion in something other than Him, we are essentially saying that we do not believe He is enough to meet our needs.

Yahweh wants us to look to Him as our provider, protector, and source of all good things. When we turn away from Him towards idols made by human hands, we are turning our backs on His love and grace.

Idolatry also has negative consequences on our spiritual well-being. It can lead us down paths of sin and destruction as we prioritize worldly desires over heavenly things and principles.

Furthermore, idolatry robs us of experiencing true intimacy with Yahweh. We were created to have a personal relationship with Him – one that brings us joy, peace, and fulfillment. But when we give ourselves over to false gods, we miss out on the abundant life that comes from walking closely with our Creator.

So how can we apply this commandment to our lives today? How can we guard against falling into the trap of idolatry?

One way is by examining our hearts regularly and asking ourselves what holds a prominent place in our affections: Is it wealth? Success? Relationships? Material possessions?

If anything other than Yahweh occupies first place in our hearts, then it may be time for some self-reflection and repentance.

We must also be diligent in nurturing our relationship with Yahweh through prayer, scripture reading, fellowship with other believers, and acts of service. By keeping Him at the center of our lives and acknowledging His supremacy over all else, we fortify ourselves against temptation towards idolatry.

Remember that breaking this commandment doesn’t just impact us individually – it can have far-reaching effects on future generations as well. As stated in Exodus 20:4-6, Yahweh Elohim punishes those who turn away from Him but shows mercy upon those who remain faithful throughout generations.

So again, let us heed these words from Exodus 20:4-6 and Deuteronomy 5:8 carefully: “You shall not make for yourself an idol…for I am a jealous El…but showing love…of those who love me…and keep my commandments.”

Yes, let’s commit ourselves afresh today to serving only one true Elohim: Yahweh, the Almighty Creator who loves us beyond measure.

Yes, in the fast-paced and ever-changing world we live in, it can be easy to fall prey to the deceptions and traditions of man. In Colossians 2:8, the apostle Paul warns us to beware of such things, as they can lead us astray from the truth and ultimately hinder our spiritual growth.

Introduction to Colossians 2:8

In Colossians 2:8, the apostle Paul warns believers against being taken captive by deceptive philosophies and traditions that are not based on Yahshua. This verse serves as a poignant reminder to remain rooted in the truth of the gospel.

Background of Colossians 2:8

Written by Paul during his imprisonment, Colossians addresses the growing influence of false teachings in the early Christian community. Paul’s words in Colossians 2:8 reflect his concern for the spiritual well-being of the believers in Colossae.

Significance of the Verse

Colossians 2:8 underscores the importance of discernment and spiritual vigilance in the face of deceptive ideologies. By highlighting the need to stay grounded in Yahshua, Paul emphasizes the centrality of Messiah’s teachings in combating falsehoods.

Understanding the Deception by Man

When it comes to man-made deception, one must be wary of the allure of human wisdom that contradicts the gospel truth. Such deceptions often mask themselves as appealing alternatives to Elohim’s Word.

Nature of Man-Made Deception

Man-made deceptions tend to exalt human understanding above divine revelation, leading individuals astray from the simplicity and purity of the gospel. They often appeal to human ego and intellect rather than humility before Elohim.

Examples of Deceptive Practices

Examples of man-made deceptions can include elevating personal opinions above biblical truth, relying on self-help philosophies rather than the power of Almighty Father Yahweh, and prioritizing human traditions over the teachings of Yahshua.

Examining Human Traditions

Human traditions, while not inherently wrong, can become problematic when they overshadow or contradict the principles of faith found in the Bible. It is essential to assess whether traditions align with the gospel message.

Definition and Characteristics of Human or Pagan Traditions

Pagan traditions are human customs or practices such as Christmas, Easter, and Halloween passed down within a cultural or religious context. While some traditions can enhance faith expression, they become detrimental when they take precedence over biblical truths.

Impact of Human Traditions on Faith

Human traditions, if unchecked, can lead to legalism, division, and spiritual stagnation. By prioritizing tradition over the Word of Yahweh, individuals risk diluting the power and purity of their faith journey.

Biblical Perspective on Deception

The Bible is replete with warnings against deception and calls for discernment in identifying and rejecting falsehoods. By anchoring ourselves in Elohim’s truth, we can navigate the murky waters of deceit with clarity and conviction.

Scriptural Warnings Against Deception

Scriptures like Matthew 24:4-5 and 1 John 4:1 caution believers to be on guard against false prophets and teachings that deviate from the gospel. These warnings emphasize the ever-present threat of deception in spiritual matters.

Yahweh’s Truth vs. Deceptive Teachings

Central to combating deception is the understanding that Elohim’s truth is unchanging and unwavering, serving as a beacon of light in a world rife with falsehoods. By aligning ourselves with the Word of Yahweh, we can discern and refute deceptive teachings effectively.

Unveiling the Dangers of False Teachings

In a world filled with information, it’s easy to get swept away by the latest trends in spirituality and beliefs. But Colossians 2:8 warns us about the dangers of being deceived by false teachings propagated by man and human traditions.

Consequences of Embracing False Teachings

The consequences of embracing false teachings can be severe. It can lead to confusion, division, and a straying away from the core truths of the faith. By being lured into deceptive ideologies, we risk losing sight of the simplicity and purity of the Gospel.

How False Teaching Can Lead Astray

False teaching can lead us astray by appealing to our desires for easy answers or novel philosophies. It can tempt us with promises of secret knowledge or quick fixes, diverting our focus from the true source of wisdom and understanding found in Yahweh’s Word.

Importance of Discernment in Faith

Discernment plays a crucial role in safeguarding our faith against deception. It enables us to distinguish between truth and falsehood, guiding us towards a deeper understanding of Elohim’s will for our lives.

Cultivating Discernment Through Prayer and Study

Prayer and diligent study of the Scriptures are essential tools for cultivating discernment. By seeking wisdom from Yahweh and immersing ourselves in His Word, we can develop a keen sense of discernment that guards our hearts and minds from deception.

Role of the Holy Spirit in Discerning Truth

The Holy Spirit plays a vital role in helping us discern truth from error. As we rely on that guidance and illumination, it empowers us to recognize false teachings and remain steadfast in the faith.

Practical Steps to Guard Against Deception

To guard against deception, we must take practical steps to evaluate teachings and traditions with a discerning eye.

Guidelines for Evaluating Teachings and Traditions

We can evaluate teachings and traditions by comparing them to the unchanging truths found in the Bible. By scrutinizing doctrines against the Word of Yahweh, we can separate genuine insights from deceptive distortions.

Building a Foundation on the Word of Elohim

Ultimately, the most effective defense against deception is to build our foundation on the solid rock of Yahweh’s Word (Bible). By anchoring ourselves in the truths revealed in the Holy Scripture, we establish a firm footing that withstands the shifting sands of false teachings and human traditions.

Always remember, throughout history, there have been countless examples of individuals and societies who have been led astray by man-made beliefs and traditions, resulting in corruption, division, and spiritual bondage. As believers, we must be on guard against such influences, seeking the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead us in the path of truth and righteousness.

Overall, I’d say that embracing discernment and staying anchored in the truth of Yahweh’s Word is essential in navigating through the sea of man-made deceptions and traditions. By being vigilant, prayerful, and rooted in the Bible, we can safeguard our faith and walk in the light of Yahweh’s truth, avoiding the pitfalls of deception that may seek to lead us astray. Let us continue to seek wisdom and discernment, relying on the guidance of the Holy Spirit to protect us from falsehood and uphold the purity of our faith.

So let us heed the warning of Colossians 2:8 and be diligent in our pursuit of Yahweh’s truth, guarding ourselves against the deceptions and traditions of man. May we stand firm in our faith, rooted and grounded in Yahshua, so that we may not be swayed by the winds of false teaching and worldly philosophies.

Bible’s First Commandment is the Greatest Commandment of All

The Bible’s First Commandment is the greatest commandment of all in the Ten Commandments

Hello. Welcome to another episode of the educational podcast, the home of the free podcast on biblical spiritual truth. I’m Elder Dan, your host.

Today, I’ll delve deep and share with you the significance of the First Commandment, being the greatest commandment in all of the Ten Commandments of the Bible. I urge everyone to read about the Bible’s First Commandment in Exodus 20:2-3 and Deuteronomy 5:6-7, which both say, “I am Yahweh, your Elohim, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other mighty ones before me.”

Yes, the First Commandment serves as the foundation of our relationship with Yahweh, setting the tone for all other aspects of our faith and worship. We are reminded of the utmost importance of loving, honoring, and respecting the one and only Almighty Yahweh in heaven.

By placing Yahweh above all else, we acknowledge His authority, sovereignty, and unparalleled power. It is a call to wholeheartedly devote ourselves to Elohim and to worship Him with reverence and awe. You can learn more about the first commandment in-depth here.

In a world filled with distractions and temptations, it can be easy to stray from this commandment and start placing other things or people above Yahweh. We may be tempted to put our jobs, relationships, or material possessions before our Creator, seeking fulfillment and happiness in these temporary sources. However, the first commandment reminds us that true fulfillment and joy can only be found in Yahweh alone.

Moreover, honoring and loving Yahweh above all else also entails rejecting and turning away from false idols and gods. Throughout history, people have been drawn to worshiping created things rather than the Creator, seeking solace and power in false gods and idols. However, the first commandment warns us against such practices, urging us to remain loyal and faithful to the one true Elohim.

By following the first commandment, we not only strengthen our relationship with Yahweh but also experience true freedom and peace. When we prioritize Elohim above all else, we align ourselves with His will and purpose for our lives, experiencing His blessings and protection. Our hearts become filled with love, gratitude, and awe for the Almighty Yahweh who created and sustains us.

Now, let’s delve even deeper into the first commandment and explore the significance of the Almighty Father Elohim in heaven having one special, very particular name – Yahweh. In Isaiah 42:8 of the Bible, Elohim declares, “I am Yahweh; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.”

The above powerful declaration highlights the unique identity of Elohim as Yahweh, the one true Elohim who deserves our love, honor, and respect above all else. By revealing His name to us, Yahweh invites us into a personal and intimate relationship with Him, emphasizing the importance of knowing and calling upon Him by His true name. You can learn more about Yahweh as the heavenly Father’s name in-depth here.

Yahweh is not just a title or a generic term for Elohim; it is a name that carries with it the fullness of Elohim’s character, power, and presence. When we acknowledge Elohim as Yahweh, we recognize His sovereignty, faithfulness, and love for His people. We come to understand that He is the one who created the heavens and the earth, and sustains all of creation with His mighty hand.

By calling upon the name of Yahweh, we align ourselves with the true identity of Elohim and acknowledge His supreme authority in our lives. We declare our trust in Him, knowing that He is the one who can guide us, protect us, and provide for us in all circumstances. Our worship and devotion to Yahweh deepen as we seek to know Him more intimately and follow His will for our lives.

So, as we reflect on the first commandment and the significance of loving and honoring Yahweh above all else, let us remember the special, very particular name of the Almighty Father Elohim in heaven – Yahweh. May we call upon His name with reverence and awe, knowing that He is the one true Elohim who deserves our utmost love and devotion.

Overall, the first commandment serves as a reminder of the central role that Yahweh should play in our lives. By loving, honoring, and respecting Him above all else, we grow in our faith, experience His presence in our lives, and receive His abundant blessings. Let us heed this commandment and embrace the profound impact it can have on our lives.

I appreciate you tuning in to today’s podcast. Let us seek Yahweh with all our hearts and live in accordance with His will. May you continue to love the Almighty Yahweh in heaven above all else. Thank you for joining me on this episode.

Before I go, let me pray this prayer for you: May Yahweh bless you and keep you; may Yahweh make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may Yahweh lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace in the name of Yahshua, the Messiah. Amen.
