Shalom Friends,
Join us as we continue our series and journey on Elohim's twenty-two letters called the Aleph-Bet. Each letter will provide us with great wisdom and deeper knowledge of the Holy Scriptures, as all of them point to Yeshua Messiah. In Psalm 33:6, it is written, "By the Word of Yah, the heavens and earth were created." In other words, "Yah breathed the universe out of His mouth." Since that is the unequivocal case, then the words from our Creator's mouth were created by His holy and divine letters, which makes the impact of learning them that more intimate with Him. It is pretty amazing to think about and thus the reason we are discovering them in this series. We hope to see you on the journey!

Shalom friends. My name is Chadwick Harvey. You have reached Faithful Performance. Thank you so much for joining us tonight as we continue our journey on Elohim's Aleph-Bet by discovering the letter Ayin. It is the 16th letter of the Aleph-Bet and has a lot of great anointings.
Before we commence, I'd like to go through two major announcements. First and foremost, we are going back to Israel June 7th through 17th, 2027. If you are interested and the Lord leads you, you can hit the QR code for more information. We will be celebrating Shavuot, or Pentecost, in Jerusalem by the Sea of Galilee. It will be a very powerful experience. For more information, you can click on the QR code or email me at [email protected]. We will be going through all of the major historical sites in Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount and the Mount of Olives, sites significant to Christianity and Judaism. We will also be going through the prophetic aspects. That's one of the reasons I wanted to do the Day of the Lord experience: to understand what our Savior, our Messiah, our King, will do when He returns for His second coming. We want to lay out the process He will undertake during the 10 Days of Awe, or that 10-day war He will fight from the Feast of Trumpets to Yom Kippur. We will go through the battle points from the northern battle point of Megiddo (Armageddon) down through Jerusalem and to the southern valley where the Book of Revelation says there will be 1600 furlongs of blood, 4 feet high. We want to give people the experience of walking where this wrath will be poured out by our Savior on all the people over the Islamic nations. So, it has turned into not only the historical sites we will visit in Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee, etc., but we will look at the prophetic understanding of these sites as well, as we all look forward to the second coming of our Messiah. Please pray into that. We would love to have you over there. We are limiting the trip to 20 travelers.
Also, we do have a new website that we'd love for you to check out at faithfulperformance.org. There are a lot of cool features on there, including crossword puzzle games and Bible quizzes. There is also the Hebrew calendar, as we know some people get confused with the calendar and dates during the feast days. Remember, the days start the evening before the actual date; that's how God's calendar works. We have it on the website as well. We would love for you to sign up and be a part of it. I believe you can watch the videos on YouTube there as well, along with all of the teachings. You can also find my personal opinion on any subject matter by tapping into the AI there, and it will carry you to the exact video, the exact minute, and the timestamp. It's pretty cool technology of today. Before it turns evil, we're going to try to use it for good.
Tonight, we will go through the letter Ayin. If you've been with us, we really appreciate you being with us during this process. We'll probably finish this series close to the fall feast days, as we have about six more letters to go through before we get to the end of the Aleph-Bet. Tonight, we are on Ayin. It is the bottom row on the right-hand side. It looks like a Y, but that's where we are right now. We've traveled through the first 15 letters and are now on the last seven letters, which is the last row. We're going to get into some double anointings of the letters here. I believe the next two are going to be double forms. Then we'll finish strong with the last four letters, which will give us a great impact and really finish the story of what we started with the letter Aleph, the first letter of the Aleph-Bet.
Thank you very much again if you've been with us on this journey. I know it's a long journey with a lot of information, but it is very important, I believe, to identify with the Hebraic mindset. I don't believe in terms like "Hebrew roots." I believe it's just the Word of God, all throughout Genesis to Revelation. Instead of all these "Hebrew roots" and all this stuff you hear all the time, we're just teaching God's Word. That Word was written in Aramaic Hebrew, the original language of the original revelation. So, obviously, those words were made up of the letters. If we get the information on the letters, the revelation of the letters, and get to some of the devotionals or the stories of the Holy Bible, it's really going to give us a paradigm shift. It's going to give us a paradigm shift from the Greco-Roman American mindset to the original mindset of the Bible, which is God's mindset. We have to really get into His mindset to get some of these extra nuggets, these gems, that we just cannot see in English. This is not a knock on the English language; it's just that the Hebrew was written in Hebrew. So, we have to understand the Hebrew language to get some of the culture and concepts that the writers were going after. Even if it was written in English, the Hebrew people would have to get into our mindset. So, again, it's not a knock on any language. We can only see these gems in the Hebrew language. That's why it's very important to have a basic understanding of the Hebrew letters. We don't have to speak fluent Hebrew, even though it would be nice. But just to have the basic understanding so that we can get those in-depth layers of understanding when we get into the devotionals, when we look at what King David said in Psalm 119 about how important he said these letters were, and also with the love of the instructions of God.
My friends, thank you so much for being with us tonight. We're going to try to give you some dynamic information about Ayin. This is a very powerful letter. It's situated as the 16th letter of the alphabet. It's a very powerful letter. With that being said, let's look at this letter as we go forward. There's how you pronounce it. It's called the Ayin. Kind of a cool name, right? Let's all begin and start right where we normally start, with a scripture that really brings out the emphasis of the letter, and then we'll go back into this scripture to have more understanding.
In Matthew 6:22-23, this is what Yeshua said: "The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness?" This is a great revelation, my friends. And as we all know, we're in the month of sight. This is the month of sight, the month they call Tammuz, the fourth month of the biblical calendar. It's all about eyesight. When you look at the anointings, just like we went through, think about Reuben. His eyesight failed him, and he lay with his stepmother Bilhah. So again, his eyesight failed him. We have the constellation of Cancer, the crab, with eyesight going through murky water. So this is a huge month for eyesight, this fourth month, to get our eyesight corrected. The next month, the fifth month, is about hearing. So eyesight and hearing. We all know what Yeshua said about those two qualities: that we must be circumcised in our eyes and also in our ears so that we have eyes to see and ears to hear. And this is what He was going on about in Matthew 6:22-23.
The 16th letter of Elohim's Aleph-Bet is Ayin, and its numerical value is 70. The number 16 symbolizes a double portion of eight, and it signifies new beginnings or a new creation. Eight is one above seven, the number seven which is spiritual perfection, thus signifying it as a superabundant number.
E.W. Bullinger, who lived back in the 1800s, wrote a book called "Numbers in Scripture." It's a great book to help us identify how God uses numbers in the scriptures. If spiritual perfection is number seven, and you add one to that, that's eight – a superabundant number, new beginnings, new life. Well, this is a double portion of that. Remember, we have two eyes for a reason. So it's a double portion of our eyesight when we look into this beautiful letter.
Additionally, 16 symbolizes spiritual purity, love, and the manifestations of both. After all, love is the greatest gift of all from the Creator, and something that we all have to get back to as mankind. In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul writes, "There are 16 characteristics of God's love that we should all try to achieve in our lives." He declares, "Love suffers long and is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not parade itself. It is not puffed up. Does not behave rudely. Does not seek its own. Is not provoked. Thinks no evil. Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. Bears all things. Believes all things. Hopes for all things. Endures all things. And love never fails." Very powerful. We hear that all the time at weddings or things like that, but I think it's something we need to get back to as mankind. When we look around the world, the love of many has grown cold, as Messiah has prophesied, and the Apostle Paul as well said the love of many will grow cold at the end with selfishness and things like that.
So, let's read this again in that context with our heart posture: In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul writes there are 16 characteristics of God's love that we should all try to achieve in our lives. He declares that love suffers long, longsuffering, and is kind. Love is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not parade itself around. It is not puffed up. Does not behave rudely. Does not seek its own. Love is not provoked. Love thinks no evil. Love does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. Bears all things. It believes all things. Love hopes all things and endures all things, and love never fails. Amen. Amen. And amen. Without a doubt, we should pursue all of these godly characteristics of love with all of our heart so that we can understand the fullness of God's love. When it is all said and done, it is about love. Nothing but love, my friends. For the love of God is of God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
One of the great books or great letters to read when it comes to God's love and what God is – love, light, and life – is the book of First John. He does a wonderful job. It's one of the greatest books to read about God's love, His light, and also the commandments that bring that love out amongst all of us. The love of God is ultimately manifested through Yeshua, who is the sacrifice for all of our sins. Assuredly, there is no greater love than for someone to lay down their life for another. Since we are born-again believers and have become a new beginning and a new creation in Yeshua, think about the number 16. We should consistently purify and cleanse ourselves to be as righteous as possible in this life, since we are born of Him. He commands us to abide in Him, and He will abide in us and remain in us (John 15:4). We should love and abide in Him, and also love one another because He abides in us and His love has been perfected in us. In fact, God's two greatest commandments substantiate this: we are to love Him with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and also love our neighbors as ourselves. He even says to all of us to love our enemies as well. That's another important revelation that we need to go back to. He continues to teach us that all of the Torah and the prophets are established on these two things: love God and also loving neighbor, including our enemies.
In the Holy Scriptures, Ayin's numerical value of 70 is an amazing number, being a combination of two other perfect numbers: 7 times 10. Seventy signifies spiritual perfection of divine order carried out with all spiritual power and divine prominence. So, the number 70, being a combination of two other perfect numbers, 7 times 10, 70 signifies spiritual perfection. The number seven of divine order. The number 10 carried out with all spiritual power and divine prominence. Remember, seven symbolizes spiritual perfection, and 10 represents the perfection of divine order. Therefore, both spirit and order are profoundly emphasized in this number and also in this letter. 70 is a very prominent number in distinct ways with past, present, and future implications.
Let's go through a few examples of the number 70 really quick. After the great flood, 70 nations were created and divided on the earth. The Gematria of 70 is the number for Gog and Magog. So, what does that mean? That means the 70 nations are the antichrist kingdom, the beast kingdom. If you look at it from that standpoint, and many other standpoints, 70 nations were created, the Gematria for Gog, which is the beast kingdom that's going to come against Israel at the end. It is the number 70 as well, which kind of tells us everything we need to know about the beast kingdom, and it perfectly lines up with the biblical prophets of Daniel, Ezekiel, and Jeremiah, pointing us to the Middle East and North Africa.
So, after the great flood, 70 nations were created and divided on the earth. 70 people went with Jacob to Egypt. The mourning of Jacob's death was 70 days. 70 elders saw the God of Israel on Mount Sinai. Think about that. We are in the month of seeing, the eyesight, in His eye, and they saw the God of Israel. And that goes into obviously Yeshua, because no one has ever seen the Father's face, because He is that Mediator that's going to come down at every divine appointment that is necessary with Joshua, with Mount Sinai, with the first coming events, with the second coming events, etc. The kingdom of Judah served 70 years in the Babylonian captivity. During the 70-year Babylonian captivity, the land of Israel kept its Sabbaths for 70 years. Very important. It's very crucial to understand what it says in 2 Chronicles 36:21: "The Jewish people did not keep the Sabbatical year and let the land rest." And it says, "When you're out of the land for 70 years, my land will enjoy the Sabbatical Sabbath years that they were not allowed to have because they were working the land on the seventh year." So again, just another understanding, very important to understand the Sabbatical year and the Sabbatical cycle. And by the way, my friends, the Sabbatical cycle, or excuse me, the Sabbatical year begins Feast of Trumpets 2028, Feast of Trumpets 2029. I would mark that year as something to watch out for. And I'm not saying anything bad or good will happen; I would just mark it down. We'll be doing another video on how relevant that is even to the United States of America. We've done videos before that since 1966, America has been hit on the Sabbatical year every single seventh year from 1966. So, we've done a video on that before and we'll do another video before that time comes. Not in a spirit of fear, just to be aware of what's going down, the times and the seasons. Everybody, the Sabbatical year is a part of that. Why? Because Genesis 1:14 says He made the sun and the moon for signs and seasons. Solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, seasons are the feast days. And then He made them for days and years, for Sabbath days, new moon days, and then the years will be Sabbatical years or Jubilee years. We've got to really go back and really get familiar with Genesis 1:14-16, and then we can understand some of these things that are really, really important at the end of the age with the times and the seasons.
Daniel's prophecy of the 70 weeks. That is a Sabbatical cycle. Again, if one's familiar with biblical prophecy and you're talking about the 70th week of Daniel, that is a Sabbatical cycle. The last, everybody knows the seven-year tribulation period, that's what it's called, right? Well, that's a Sabbatical cycle. Since everybody wants to call it the 7-year tribulation period, which it certainly is, it's really the seven-year purification period of the Jews and the Christians. But anyhow, everybody knows it's the seven-year journey. Well, that is a Sabbatical cycle. And it's really called the time of Jacob's trouble, which it is, because he had to work seven extra years for Rachel. And that's why the prophet Jeremiah called it the time of Jacob's trouble.
The Lord sent out 70 disciples into the cities and also the land. Remember that. So the number 70 is very paramount. As we know, it's seven times 10. We all know the values of what that means, and it's very important to recognize it in the letter Ayin.
So, the letter Ayin means "eye" and it means "to see," meaning to open our spiritual eyes and see what Yah is showing us. Messiah provides us with clarity about Ayin in Matthew 13. As His disciples approached Him to inquire why He spoke to the people in parables, the Master responded that in them the people would fulfill a prophecy of Isaiah: "To keep on hearing but do not understand, to keep on seeing but do not perceive. Make the heart of these people dull, and their ears heavy, and shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and return and be healed."
My friends, this is a very powerful statement by the King of Kings. And where did Isaiah get this first? Because Yeshua was just quoting Isaiah 6. So, where did Isaiah? He was at the throne room. He was in the throne room. Remember, he got touched by the coal. "I am a man of unclean lips." And the Lord said, "Who shall we send?" Isaiah said, "Here I am, send me." And then that's what He told the prophet to tell them. So, everybody wants to be a prophet out there, right? So, once people do become a prophet, they realize what that does and sometimes they have to say things that aren't so popular. And that's what Isaiah told the people in his days: "To keep on hearing, but do not understand, keep on seeing, and do not perceive, unless you do open your eyes, unless you do open your ears, and you are healed."
So, my friends, this is a judgment. This is not something that you want to be prayed over. This is Isaiah 6. This is a judgment. And guess what? Messiah told His generation the same thing. And guess what? If Isaiah and Yeshua were here today, they'd tell all of us the same thing again. My friends, it's very important to understand what the Master is truly saying here when He says, "Keep on hearing, but do not understand. Keep on seeing, but do not perceive. Make the heart of these people dull, and their eyes heavy, and shut them. Shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and return and be healed."
In this well-known example, we see how profound the Ayin is, both a blessing and also a warning. It is a blessing if we have our spiritual eyes and ears focused on God's Word and truth, as it will direct us in our daily lives. We will be able to perceive and understand God's will and purpose for our lives, as our hearts will not be dull but joyous in our walk with Him. On the contrary, it is a warning to those who do not listen and see what the Lord God is telling them. He explains that those people have dull hearts, heavy ears, and shut eyes.
Just like Yeshua's disciples, we too should have our eyes and our ears open to the truth so that we can understand the secrets to the kingdom of heaven. Instead of speaking out first, we should always use our spiritual eyes and ears to perceive and listen so that we can discern the matter at hand. And I'll say this: someone told me this one time, and I guess I need to start trying to understand it as well, even more so. We have one mouth and two ears for a reason, right? To listen first and then talk. I know myself, I have a problem with that sometimes. So, it's something that I've continued to work on throughout my journey: to zip it for a minute and make sure I'm discerning with my spiritual eyes and my spiritual ears, and then at the right time, then, you know, boom. But I think that's something that we can all work on, and I think we'll always be working on it until He returns: the pruning of our spiritual eyes and the pruning of our spiritual ears. That's why we go through the biblical months, or one of the reasons. Number one, we're commanded to. But number two, because we get the revelation of these things to work on these attributes that He wants us to work on. None of us are perfect; I'm certainly not. But He wants us to keep getting better with our eyesight, keep getting better with our ears, so that we know for sure that we're listening to the Master and not a deceiver out there.
There is a righteous reason the Creator formed mankind with two eyes, two ears, and one mouth. As Messiah continued to teach the disciples, we can receive comfort as He lovingly proclaimed, "But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and for your ears, for they hear. For assuredly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see and did not see it, and to hear what you hear and did not hear it." How powerful. Certainly, we want to make sure our spiritual eyes and our spiritual ears are open to what the Lord God is instructing us to do on our spiritual purification journey.
Ayin is a silent letter that sees but does not speak, therefore representing the attitude of humility. Because guess what, my friends? The next letter is Peh, the mouth. Right? So here, eyesight first, and then we speak out, right? That's how the Hebrew letters work, and that's the order of our heart posture as well. The pictograph for Ayin is an eye. We can think of it as Elohim's providential eye, the eye in the sky peering upon us as He looks down to see if there are anyone who understands and seeks Him. So again, if you're not familiar with the pictographs, this is the way that Moses would have written it. This is the way that we write it today. The modern-day form is how you're looking at it. Moses would have written it like this, like the actual eye.
King Solomon provides confirmation of the Father's omnipresent nature, as he testifies that "the eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good." As human beings who are finite, it is hard for us to comprehend how our Father in heaven is so extraordinarily infinite. Since He is omnipresent, we can have total confidence that His glorious and majestic eye is watching over all His chosen righteous ones. King David articulates God's omnipresent nature by testifying, "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there. If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there." Throughout the Word of Elohim, it substantiates that Elohim is omnipresent and thus keeps an eye on those who fear Him and have hope in His mercy, grace, and loving-kindness.
Furthermore, the scripture proclaims that "the Lord's eyes run to and fro throughout the entire earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is pure and loyal to Him." It's one of my favorite scriptures: 2 Chronicles 16:9, "The Lord's eyes run to and fro throughout the entire earth." Think about that. Throughout the entire earth, His eyes run to and fro to show Himself strong on behalf of all of those whose heart is pure and loyal to Him. What does it say in Psalm 24? "Who can ascend to the hill of God, the mountain of God?" Those who have clean hands, not bloody hands, clean hands and a pure heart are the ones who can ascend to the hill of Adonai. Unequivocally, since His eyes are fixed upon all of us, we should not trust our own eyes, but allow the Word to enlighten our eyes, the blessed Holy Spirit, and always guide and direct us throughout our lives, especially during the spiritual purification process.
David authenticates this by asserting, "The Lord is in His holy temple. The Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men. The Lord tests the righteous, but the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates." Very important. "Upon the wicked, He will rain coals, fire, and brimstone, and a burning wind shall be the portion of their cup. For the Lord is righteous. He loves righteousness. His countenance beholds the upright." That is in Psalm 11:4-7. Let's read that one more time and just really think about right now what's going on in the world with violence and how some of our brothers and sisters are caught up in these things. Let's look at what King David says about that: "The Lord is in His holy temple. The Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men. The Lord tests the righteous, but the wicked and the one who loves violence, His soul hates. Upon the wicked, He will rain coals, fire, and brimstone, a burning wind shall be the portion of their cup." Jeremiah says, "Everybody's going to fill their cup up." In Jeremiah 25, "For the Lord is righteous. He loves righteousness. His countenance beholds the upright."
According to David's bold and sobering testimony, we should take heed during our times of testing or purification to become as holy and righteous as we can during the process. In fact, the Apostle Peter challenges all believers to be holy because God is holy. Most definitely, we should challenge ourselves during our spiritual purification journey to seek out what we need to repent of, purify, and cleanse in order to be holy and righteous before the eyes of Elohim.
Psalm 19:7-8: "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes." I'll read it one more time: "The Torah, the first five books of the Bible, the instructions of God's mouth, is perfect, converting the soul." Amen to that. "The testimony of Adonai is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes, the Torah of our Lord are... The commandment of the Lord is pure, which will enlighten our eyes." Man, how many Christian believers would agree with that? You know, Psalm 19:7-8 and really live it out the way that King David lived it out.
The classical pictograph of Ayin is constructed of a descending Yod and an embedded Zayin. It resembles two branches with an eye in each branch that ultimately meets at one eye of conclusion. We can identify with the symbolism of the classical Ayin as having two eyes that connect to a common optic nerve that leads to the brain. The two eyes, one good and the other evil, symbolize the choice or actions of a person's will. We can make a choice of using the good eye or the evil eye in our perception. In Hebraic thought, the left eye is the good eye, and the right eye is the evil eye. Ultimately, the eye reflects the world outside and also reveals the world inside a person and uncovers their inner character. This is to say that we can either view the world from the positive left eye or from the negative right eye. When a person's eye is evil, it holds them captive to the purposes of sin and evil inclinations. As it is widely believed, the eyes are the window to the body and also to the soul. Therefore, when the eye is evil, the heart conveys the evil messages, and the body sins and transgresses.
Now let's look at the devotional of Ayin. I think it'll give us some great in-depth knowledge of this letter now that we have the basic idea of what the letter is about. It's about our eyesight, it's about discerning our eyesight, to have a good eye and not an evil eye. And now let's look at a devotional that will tie this in even more so, to put the cherry on top, if you will.
Yeshua's Sermon on the Mount bestows great wisdom and simple clarification of many essential topics as it relates to the way we need to live according to His Word. In Matthew 5:8, the Rabbi teaches us the basic premise concerning the good and evil eye. The precise understanding of this can only be obtained through the basic knowledge of the letter Ayin. In the Gospel account of Matthew, Yeshua substantiates the importance of understanding the concept of the good left eye and evil right eye in regard to lust. He boldly exclaimed that "if your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish than for your whole body to be cast into hell." This clearly reveals Messiah's knowledge of the Ayin, and it also confirms the right eye is the evil eye. See, isn't that amazing? We've probably read that Gospel account over and over and over again, but now that we know the Hebrew understanding of it, with the Hebrew letter of the right eye being the evil eye, that's why He said about the right eye. So that's what I've been saying about the Hebrew language and also the letters: if we have this extra understanding of the letters, then we'll have greater revelation when it comes to what He said, because that's what He was speaking in: Aramaic Hebrew. He wasn't speaking in English, as we can all agree with. So this is one great example of how we can get the insight of the Gospel accounts by understanding the basic revelation of the Hebrew letter Ayin in this circumstance.
Again, in the Gospel account of Matthew, Yeshua speaks about lust. He boldly exclaimed that "if your right eye causes you to sin, let's pluck it out and cast it from you. For it is more profitable for all of us that one of our members perish than for our bodies to be cast into hell." This clearly reveals Messiah's knowledge of the Father's elect, and it also confirms the right eye is the evil eye.
Now, when we turn to Matthew chapter 6, Yeshua gives us additional revelation in our devotion of the good and evil eye. He is warning His followers about the dangers of money by proclaiming to "not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, but to lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven that will last forevermore. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Subsequently, Messiah correlates His message to the Ayin for more clarification. He expounds by declaring, "The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good... your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness?" Going back to our scripture before we began the lesson.
In this incredible lesson, Messiah confirms the importance of living and viewing our life with our good eye so that our whole body is full of light and laying up our treasures in heaven. On the contrary, if we live and view our life with the evil eye and store up our treasures on earth, then our body will be full of great darkness. Just like He said, "It is written: A man with an evil eye hastens after riches and does not consider the poverty that comes upon him" (Proverbs 28:22).
This lesson is extremely imperative for us to understand on our purification journey, as money will cause our eye, our Ayin, to become evil if we do not have our priorities aligned with Elohim. Of course, we all have to make a living to support our families and other things. I do not think people with wealth are all evil, nothing like that. It's just the priorities. It's the priorities that we have with our money. It's not about money; it's the love of money. That's what the problem is. It's not money; it's how we view it and how we use it in our life, and whether we are fools or wise. We are wise or fools depending on how we use our money. So, I think the majority of us have had our time with money, as the majority of us have had our times with lust as well. We all have to overcome that in this life: the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. When you look at the temptation of Yeshua by Satan, that's what He was tempted by: those three things. And what did He say? "It is written. It is written. It is written." Bye-bye, Satan. After you say "It is written" with the Word of God, Satan has no power or authority whatsoever. So Yeshua told us exactly how to defeat Satan. Unfortunately, including myself, sometimes we forget to use the Word of God. He quoted His Father's Word: "It is written. It is written. It is written. Get out of here. Go to somebody else." So, that is something for us to understand. And He was tempted with the lust of the eyes, the flesh, and the pride of life, which we all have to crucify our flesh. Because again, the lust of the eyes, the flesh, and the pride of life. Remember, this is the month of eyesight. So, don't be surprised if we're not tempted. I know I was tempted during this past month already, and it's Tammuz, it's the middle of the month, the full moon, with lust of eyes and stuff like that, and God overcame. Whatever it was, it doesn't matter, but I overcame. Sometimes I have failed in my life with that. So, again, we always have to go through this purification process to make sure we are in alignment.
And that goes into tomorrow night's journey from Shavuot to Tammuz 17th. People don't realize how important that journey is because we just got out of the 50-day divine appointment, right? But there is another 40-day journey after Shavuot to Tammuz 17th as the checker. As the review of what we've learned, as the purification, the check to see if we're in check. So, we'll go through that tomorrow night as well. But that's the importance of being on the calendar to understand the anointings and the trajectory of these things. After the resurrection, for 50-day divine appointment to Shavuot, and then Shavuot to the fourth month, the 17th day of the month. If we don't know how powerful that is, my friends, we're losing some anointing. During the calendar 40 days of the calendar, we're losing some of that anointing that He wants us to understand, to check ourselves, to make sure we're in alignment. And we're going to go through that tomorrow night on how important that is when we look at Israel with the golden calf, etc., etc. This process, I've said it before, this process of these summer months are excruciatingly important. I mean, they are very important to go through these summer months to the fall feast days because this is where we get checked. Shavuot, Pentecost, Ain't Life Brand, we're all on cloud nine, right? Literally, because we just went through a 50-day divine appointment, Passover, resurrection, we're in alignment. But then after Shavuot, everybody wants to take a little break because of the 50-day divine appointment. And that other 40 days will grab our behinds if we're not careful. Because that's when Moses went up for 40 days and 40 nights to get the instructions of the tabernacle. The children of Israel got impatient waiting on Moses. And then, of course, we know what happened with the golden calf, and that's when 3,000 people died. That's tomorrow. People get it confused. 3,000 people did not die on Shavuot. They all said yes, "We will follow You. Amen. We'll do whatever You want." Just speak to Moses because we're afraid at the mountain. So, everybody said yes at Shavuot. And I'm sure everybody said yes at Shavuot again this past year. But after Shavuot, then everybody started wiggling and wavering a little bit. So, that's what we'll get into a little bit tomorrow night, just to remind ourselves to stay in alignment. Stay in alignment. That's what these dates are for. That's what the calendar is for. It's the greatest, beside the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit is going to lead you through the calendar. It is the greatest accountability partner because it keeps you in alignment with the understanding of how Israel fell off at times of rejoicing. Then they fell into disobedience. And then here comes the gavel. And then here comes repentance. And then here comes redemption. And then it keeps on with the cycles. But we have to realize that.
So, I hope you stay with us tomorrow night or be with us tomorrow night because it's really powerful to understand these 40 days from Shavuot to Tammuz 17th, as they call it, or the fourth month, the 17th day of the month. That is a fast day until the millennial kingdom. Everybody, that's how important that day is to Yah. It's a fast day because of what happened, but also as a reminder to all of us as well, to not fall into disobedience just right after we got through the greatest journey that you can go through: the Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, 50-day divine appointment with Yah and Shavuot. But it doesn't end there. I mean, please go enjoy the beach. Please go enjoy spring, whatever the summertime, but at the same time, stay in alignment with Him while we're doing these beautiful things.
So, not to get off pace here, but it's really important, my friends, to have our eyes focused on Him. When we don't get focused on Him, I'll talk about myself. When I'm not focused on Him, I start acting like a momo. And we can't act like momos, right? So, that's just a nice way to say we're acting out of alignment. So, again, stay with us tomorrow night. It's going to be a very powerful thing if you're into the calendar and flowing with the rhythm of the calendar. We'll be with you tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. And it's really one of the most hidden, 40 days of the calendar because of all the great feast days or divine appointments that we have before that. And then people don't look at Shavuot, Tammuz 17th, or the fourth month, the 17th day of the month, how powerful that it truly is as a reminder. It's a reminder. It's a love reminder, everybody. A love thing to remind us to stay in alignment during these summer months and then go into the fall feast days. Amen.
Let me see where I left off. I'll just read it from the beginning. "It is written: A man with an evil eye hastens after riches and does not consider the poverty that comes upon him" (Proverbs 28:22). This lesson is extremely imperative for us to understand on our spiritual purification journey, as money will cause our eye, our Ayin, to become evil if we do not have our priorities aligned with Elohim and what He has in store for us to use our riches for. Of course, we all have to make a living to support our families and other things, and it's a beautiful thing. Therefore, let us keep the teaching in context, as it is the love of money and the coveting of it that Yeshua is truly speaking about, and also the Apostle Paul. The Apostle Paul writes, "For the love of money, not money, the love of money is the root of all evil, not some evil, all evil, the love of it. While some coveted after, they have aired from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows" (1 Timothy 6:10). Paul also warns us about coveting money, as it will cause us to fall away from our faith. Messiah tells us that we cannot serve two masters, for either we will hate the one and love the other, or else we will be loyal to the one and despise the other. We cannot serve God and money.
Deuteronomy 15:9-11: "Beware, lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, 'The seventh year, the year of release, the Sabbatical year, is at hand.' And your eye will be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing, and he will cry out to Adonai against you, and it becomes sin among you. You shall surely give to him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him. Because for this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your works and all to which you put your hand. For the poor will never cease from the land. Therefore I command you, saying, 'You shall open your hand to your brother, to your poor, your needy in your land.'"
So, if you're not familiar with this, it's the seventh year of the Sabbatical year. You can find this in Deuteronomy 15, but also in Leviticus 25 as well, where it was instituted. Basically, it's called the year of release. So, for instance, he's talking to the Jewish people. If a Jew lends to another Jewish person, this scripture is trying to tell them, "Do not be greedy. Don't say, 'Well, it's almost the seventh year. It's the fifth year now. Now I don't know if he'll be able to pay me back, so I'm not going to lend him the money.'" Yah says that your brother will cry out to me, and then I will be guilty before Yah because I was greedy. I didn't think my brother would pay me back in two years from now. When 2028 comes, right? So, that's what He was speaking of. He's talking about the year of release, the seventh year, when all debts were cleared out. So, again, if I let someone borrow $1,000 five years ago, and I'm not able to pay that back to someone right now, then on the Sabbatical year 2028 to 2029, Feast of Trumpets, the Jewish people, they release the debts from the other Jewish people. Or they're commanded to do that. I'm not saying all of them do that; I'm saying they're commanded that on the seventh year, you've got to release all the debts. It's called the Lord's release. And that's why it's very important. Why did He do that? The seventh year Sabbatical was kind of to keep everything in balance. It wasn't people; He wanted things to be balanced, so to speak, instead of just everybody wealthy and then the poor. He wanted to be a more balanced understanding that if your poor brother asked for a loan, then we should give it to them, no matter how close we are to the year, because we know he's probably not going to pay it back. So it's a test of faith to Yah, if we're going to lend to our brother. And if we don't, then our brother will come against us in prayer, and we will be guilty, not him, because we were greedy and not lent to him, even though in the fifth or sixth year, the second year, whatever, he wasn't going to be able to pay it back on the seventh year. So that's why it's a release to keep everything in balance, not greedy, so to speak. So, very important to understand the Sabbatical year, how it operates.
Again, my friends, once Israel broke the Sabbatical year, Babylon, it started to affect the nations after that. So again, the seventh year can be a blessing or it could be a curse. I mean, I can show you for America, it's been a blessing. Twice, World War I, World War II. It was a blessing on the Sabbatical year. America came to power in World War I. Then they were confirmed. We were confirmed as the superpower of the world after 1944, which was a Sabbatical year. So again, this is just how God works, everybody. We can't just put it just on Israel. Now, do I believe that everybody should let their land rest on the seventh year? No. It was just commanded to Israel. But the understanding, the prophetic understanding of it, the principal understanding of it, to not be greedy, to let the land rest, to forgive your debts to your brothers, etc., etc. That's a good thing, and that's what God wanted Israel to do. And I believe He wants the entire world to do. Again, no one's commanded to let their land rest except for Israel on the seventh year. However, when they broke that, then the curse started to affect other nations. They rose and fell on the Sabbatical year. Babylon did. Persia did. Alexander did. The British Empire did. The Ottoman Empire did. Goodness, they started to collapse on the Sabbatical. Then they did collapse on the Sabbatical in 1923-24. So again, the Sabbatical cycle is super important. This video is not about that, but since we're talking about it, it's super important for people to identify with so you know what time it is. Number one, at the end of the age. Everybody's looking for the end of the age. Well, you need to understand the Sabbatical cycle. Number one, the first things are about the calendar and the seven-year cycle. If we understand that, you're not going to be caught as a thief in the night. If we don't understand that, then one would be caught as a thief in the night, as the Apostle Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5: "To know the times and the seasons, or be caught as a thief in the night, and they will not escape." From the 10 Days of Awe. And if one doesn't understand the 10 Days of Awe, then we really need to go back and understand Leviticus 23 and Genesis 1 and what our Messiah is going to come and do during those 10 days. And it's going to be really, really bad. It's called the wrath of the BS, everybody, the seven bowls He will pour out during the 10 Days of Awesomeness by our Messiah, by our King. But if we don't understand that, and I say this in love, I do. I'll say this in love, with times getting nigh, Christianity cannot teach none of us that because it's not in their theology to do that or their eschatology. That's why if you talk to... I don't mean this in any kind of way. Go ask a Christian what the end times look like. What does Jesus do when He returns? "I don't know. He comes and He returns and kills everybody." Great. But how does that look? How does that look according to the scriptures? We... I don't mean that in any kind of way, but we've got to get educated to understand so that we can warn our brothers and sisters, so that we can warn the atheists, we can warn the Jewish people, the Christians, the Muslims, and everybody out there who doesn't know what time it is. Have you ever asked someone what time it is on God's timeline, and no one has a clue? Because then they're thinking you're setting dates, and no one's setting any kind of dates. We just have to understand the times and the seasons so that we understand the trajectory of where we are. And that's why He gave us all of these things.
So, my friends, not to get off on all of this, but the Sabbatical cycle is super important to understand with someone's eschatology. Now, if one doesn't care about all that, then who cares? But if one does care about biblical prophecy, they want to be a good student of it, then it ends... excuse me, it begins and ends with God's calendar. That's it. And then the days, Leviticus 23, the feast days, the divine appointments that Yeshua is going to fulfill in His first coming and second coming. And then it does go into the Sabbatical year, everybody. That 70th week, that seven-year purification journey or tribulation, however you want to call it, time of Jacob's trouble, will be on the Sabbatical. And my friends, we'll just have to wait and see if this one's going to be it. If this one's not it, look for the next one. But you will know the times and the seasons. And then if we're not going to be on this earth to see this, then we can give it to our children. I mean, we've got to leave our children with education, with knowledge, and all of these beautiful things if we're not going to see it. It's kind of like with all this debt. I mean, we must hate our children in America to put $40 trillion on them in the future. We must really love our children in America, because we've got $40 trillion that they owe right now. So, we've got to do better. I've got to do better. We all have to do better. We've got to do better with education and knowledge and teaching our children, teaching our children out there, whether our own children or other children, teaching our children the right ways of Adonai. And the Sabbatical cycle, my friends, is one of those staples that we have to understand to know what time it is. If not, then we'll be calling for the rapture every Feast of Trumpets, you know, until I guess it does happen.
As we continue forward, we'll look at Psalm 119 to close it out tonight with the Hebrew letter. Very important. King David wrote this chapter. It's the longest chapter in the Holy Bible. He wrote it right after Psalm 113 through 118. If one's not familiar with that, it's super important to know the location of these things. Psalm 113 through Psalm 118 is called the Hallel. King David wrote that as the hymnal book of the feast days. When they were celebrating the feast days, Yeshua, think about that. They were singing Psalm 113 through 118. When Yeshua rode into Jerusalem on a donkey on Nisan 10, four days before His crucifixion, they were singing the Hallel, because that's the hymnal book of the Jewish people on a major feast day. And of course, that was a major time when Yeshua, the King of Israel, the Son of David, rode on a donkey. And what were they saying? "Hosanna in the highest! Save now, Son of David, save now!" is what Psalm 118 said. Psalm 118 is Yeshua's crucifixion hymn, everybody. That is super important for Christianity to understand that the day that the Lord has made is not Sunday, everybody. It's called Passover. Psalm 118: "This is the day the Lord has made. Goodness, how awesome. Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Passover, the crucifixion for all of our sins. Amen to that. So, we've got to get back to proper knowledge. What am I saying? Right after he wrote that, he wrote about Psalm 119. Psalm 113-118, crucifixion hymn 118. Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Holy Bible, that gives homage to Aba Father about His instructions, called the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, the Word of God out of His mouth. And also, every Hebrew letter, God's letters, has eight verses to each letter, which is totally phenomenal.
So, Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Holy Scriptures. It was written by King David in homage to Elohim's Aleph-Bet. He eloquently writes and gives each letter its rightful due, uncovering the richness of each one. In doing so, the man after God's own heart also highlights the importance of God's instructions, His Torah. It is believed by some that David desired to not only teach Solomon the Aleph-Bet but also the deep spiritual understanding of each letter. Thus, one of the reasons Elohim blessed Solomon with great and unmatched wisdom. Certainly, deep calls unto deep, and we will be going through every letter through Psalm 119.
So, let's take this from King David and not from man. And let's see what the King said about this letter, the Ayin, in Psalm 119:121-128: "I have done justice and righteousness; do not leave me to my oppressors. Be surety for your servant for good; do not let the proud oppress me. My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation and Your righteous word. Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy, and teach me Your statutes. I am Your servant; give me understanding that I may know Your testimonies. It is time for You to act, O Adonai, for they have regarded Your Torah as void. Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold, yes, more than fine gold. Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things I consider to be right; I hate every false way."
My friends, this is from King David. And again, I remind everybody again, no one would ever come against this. The Apostle Paul would not. He would confirm this. Yeshua, of course. No one would come against King David. So, we've got to take King David on what He said and let's read what this holy man said. "I have done justice and I've done righteousness. Do not leave me to my oppressors. Be surety for Your salvation, Yeshua, and Your righteous Word. Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy and teach me Your statutes." Amen. How many Christians say that? "I am Your servant. Give me understanding that I may know Your testimonies. It is time for You to act, O Adonai, for they have regarded Your Torah as void." That's Christianity right there. They've regarded His Torah as void. "No more commandments. It's done away with. Paul has the right to get away from all of it." My friends, let me tell you this, and all of you guys do know this: Paul's not the lawgiver. Elohim is. There's only one. He is. Paul is a commentary to this. He's not the lawgiver to the Christians. And if so, where's the calendar? Where's the days they worship? Where's all these things that they celebrate? If he was, he's not. God is the lawgiver, not the Apostle Paul. Please understand that. King David would correct all Christians with this as well, with how they understand the Apostle Paul saying that he's done away with the Torah. No, look what King David said: "It is time for You to act, O Adonai, for they have..." King David says, "I love Your commandments more than gold." Yes, more than fine gold. "Therefore, all Your precepts concerning all things I consider to be right." King David says he hates every false way. Just like he said in the previous letter, "I hate all evildoers." Think about that. Go read what King David said on the last letter and this letter: "I hate all evildoers and I hate every false way." My friends, go evaluate some of these religions that people are in. Go evaluate them. False ways. King David hates that. And we should hate that as well. Not the people; we should hate the ways of the religion. And that's why we come across all of these religions because they're all false. And King David would say that as well. He hates every false way, is what King David says. "They have regarded Your law as void. Act now, Lord. Act now." And He will. So, it's very important for our Christian friends to really understand what King David said. And understand how Paul would have related to that, not the other way around. So, Yeshua's coming to sit on King David's throne, everybody. And we've got to understand that forever. And that's why His heart posture was for God's instructions and not for disobedience, not for rebellion. That was King Saul. And what did Samuel tell Samuel 15? "Obedience is better than sacrifice. To heed is better than fatted rams. Rebellion is just as the sin of witchcraft." My Christian friends, and Jewish friends, and Muslim friends, and all friends: Rebellion, not following the ways of God, witchcraft, man, just like witchcraft and stiff-neckedness or stubbornness, think about it, is just as the sin of idolatry. And my friends, the Apostle Paul himself wrote in 1 Corinthians 6 and many other places that none of that enters the kingdom of heaven. None of it. No idolatry, no witchcraft, no homosexuality, no adultery, no fornication, none of that. None of these things do. That's the Apostle Paul. That's not mean old Moses saying that in the Torah. It's the Apostle Paul to the Gentiles saying the same exact thing that Moses and King David said. And if he doesn't, then don't read him, because he would be false. But he did. He quoted David. He quoted Yeshua. He quoted Moses all the time. So why in the world is everybody trying to put Paul against everybody for rebellion? That's all that it is. The Christians are in rebellion. And that is just as the sin of witchcraft, everybody. So don't take my word for it. Go read 1 Samuel 15 and what he told King Saul. King David had a different heart than King Saul did, didn't he? A man after God's own heart. Look at what he says: "Rise up, O Lord. Time for You to act. Time for You to act. For they, all the evildoers, are saying that Your ways, Your holy ways out of Your holy mouth, are void." Think about that. I've said it before. Who in the world has the authority? Who wants to take their hand right now and say the Torah is void and done away with? Does anyone want to say that? That God's words, His holy words, righteous, sovereign, divine, all-time, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, the One who was, the One who is, and the One who is to come, that His laws are done away with? Is that where Christianity is right now? Obviously, it is. And that's why the gavel is coming to Christianity. Go look around at the mega-churches. Go look around at some of these American churches that are just going down. And they will go down like Julie Brown, because guess what? That's just where they are. Obedience is better than sacrifice. To heed Elohim's laws is better than fatted rams on the altar. Rebellion, what's rebellion? That's not following the ways of God. Rebellion is just as the sin of witchcraft. So those who are not following God are in witchcraft. I used to be. Okay, I was in rebellion. I used to be in witchcraft. Now I'm trying not to be. I hope I'm not. And then stiff-neckedness, stubbornness, doing my thing is just as the sin of idolatry. Self-idolatry is the worst idolatry of all, because that is elevating ourselves above Elohim. And that's where a lot of us have been, and we most of us have come out of it on the channel. And that's where a lot of Christians are, and Jewish people are today, is that self-idolatry, because they know better than the Elohim of Israel, the King of Israel, the Holy One of Israel. And I don't think anyone has the right to think that, because how is that going to be going at the end of the age? How's that looking for everyone in the world today? And it seems like to me, He's just turned over the world to the gavel and all of this violence all over the world that He's just allowed us to kind of go our way.
So, my friends, Ayin is one of the most powerful letters there is because of our eyesight. Our eyesight is what matters. I know I've had major problems with my eyesight in the past. And I'm not saying I'm perfect now. I'm trying to purify all of it: ears, heart, eyes, you name it, mouth, all of these key attributes that we have that could get us into bad trouble. You know, what does He say? Poke it out. People might say, "Oh, that's symbolism." No, poke it out if it's going to throw our whole body in hell. And of course, I'm not trying to say somebody go poke your eye. I'm just saying He's trying to be very serious with this: that we can't allow our eyes, our mouth, our ears to get us into hell. Is what He's trying to say. And we've got to be purified and we've got to have spiritual ears, spiritual eyes. Goodness, again, I've been through all of that myself in the past. And that's why I do what I do online is because people need to really understand discipleship is gone. It's lost. Purification is gone. It's lost. Very few do these things. Or if you want to do it, it's to get down with the Lord and really purify one's heart condition, soul, spirit, eyes, ears, mouth, whatever, all of it. How many people want to really do that? I know you guys do, but how many people really want to do that and to get purified and to be holy because He's holy? Goodness, it's not easy. It's the hardest thing you'll ever do. It's the hardest thing that I've ever done for sure is to try to walk with the Lord and try to be good, you know, try to be the best I can in grace and all these things. But my friends, it's not an easy walk if you look at the scriptures. If you look at what Yeshua said, Matthew 13 is in your grill, okay? If you read it, I mean, right there, bam. You know, so many people don't take Him for what He's really truly trying to say. They just think it's just all this peace and peace and peace and peace. No, He said He wished His sword was already kindled at the first coming. He said, "I wish my sword was already kindled right now," because that's who He's coming back to be, ladies and gents. He's coming back for a spotless bride. And my friends, I'm talking to me first. It starts with our heart position and our eyesight and our ears and our mouth. If we can get those four key elements in the right position, then we're going to be very good. And if not, we're going to struggle a lifetime. There are people that struggle lifetimes with this because of the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, the pride of life. That's why Satan tempted Him with what He tempted Him with right out of the gate. Right out of the gate, before His ministry, He tempted Yeshua with the lust of the eyes, the flesh. And what did our Master say? What did He say? One of the things He said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but what?' By every word, not some, every word of the Father." And He quoted the Torah. He didn't quote the prophets or the Psalms. He quoted His Father's voice. That's how powerful it is, my friends. That's how powerful it is.
All of us have been in intercession. All of us have been in prayer groups. But we pray here online sometimes, and everybody knows the power of that. But two or three witnesses that will establish a matter and make sure you have a buddy with you as well, or a prayer partner as well, to pray with you. Two or three. And the power of that, and see it knock off of you. If you're dealing with a tough time right now, that is okay. We've all been through it. But you've got to walk through it. You've got to come through it. You've got to get to the other side of it. And you can get to the other side of it. There are a lot of people struggling right now in the world that I live in. There's a lot of people struggling right now with whatever that case may be. And it's about time for all of us to stand on the Lord and stand on what He's going to do for all of us. Because there's a reason, right? There's a reason this world is being put into the vice right now. The Middle East is being put into the vice. Obviously, they need it to be put into the vice. But so do we. Europe needs it. America needs it. Mexico needs it. We all need that vice to turn up the pressure a little bit. And I don't say that ugly. I say, turn up the pressure so that we can become righteous. We can become holy. I said this before. Do you know there's a revival going on in Persia right now, Iran right now? Over the last several years, three to four million people have come to salvation. Think about that. In a Shia Muslim nation. That is amazing. But that's what the pressure will do, right? That's what the pressure will do. So, unfortunately, us human beings down here, we only understand one language, and that is to be punched in the mouth, right? I don't mean that ugly either, but some... I can speak for myself. Until the Lord punched me in the mouth, symbolically speaking, of course, you know, I didn't really get it, you know. So, we don't really get to all these things. Most of us don't. We have to have the gavel. And that's what Israel had to have, a couple times. They're about to get another gavel. We're going to get the gavel. Everybody's going to have the pressure turned up because He loves mankind to come to Him. And the only thing that He can do to get us to understand is take away the prosperity, take away the safety, violence everywhere, economies crashing everywhere. That's how He gets our attention. Unfortunately, we can't listen to Him any other good way. So He has to turn the pressure up. So, my friends, I say this because He loves us. He loves those whom He corrects. So, if you're being corrected right now, if you're going through a season right now, or whatever it may be, you've backslid. That is okay. Goodness, I backslid. Goodness, I've made bad choices even since I was born again. Goodness, I have. And I'm sure I'll make some more dodo errors as well. That's where the grace comes in. You've got to forgive yourself. You've got to love yourself. And because He loves you, He corrects you, right? So when He corrects you, just like the Hebrew letters say, humility, the double form letters that we've gone through, we're going to go through two in a row after this. The humble letter, the beginning letter, humility, and then after we get the point, get the picture, boom, exaltation for His will and His purpose. If we act like momos, here comes humility again. Here comes the gavel. And then He'll lift us back up. He is an awesome God, my friends. And I know we've all experienced that awesomeness, and we've probably most of us have experienced that chastisement. And I don't say that we haven't experienced the chastisement in America like other people have. But that's going to change because He's going to turn up the pressure. So, my friends, I hope again, this is just common. We've got to purify. We've got to purify. This is what this month is: eyesight. Next month: hearing. Following month: repentance. Then the feast days, where everybody's weighed in the balance. So, this is a very important process, especially if one's purified, or if one's backslid, or whatever it may be. If one's trying to take the next step up the ladder of Jacob's ladder, this is a very important season, a very important time. We all know times are getting perilous. We all know times are getting nigh. Look at the Middle East. Look around. But my friends, this is what it's about during this time. And it's the greatest liberation that you'll ever find is to be purified. No one's perfect. I'm certainly not. But goodness, we've got to go on this journey. And day by day, month by month, year after year, you're going to see a great trajectory in your life. That's why we do what we do on the calendar. That's why tomorrow night is important because people need to understand the trajectory to keep them in alignment with the Most High so we don't backslide. We all have the precious Holy Spirit as a... the best buddy that we have, accountability partner, but my friends, the calendar will keep you in alignment as well, through the blessed Holy Spirit, of course, the Word of God, of course. It all works together like one big enchilada, right? Who likes enchiladas? I know I do. So, again, it's the whole enchilada. You know, don't leave anything out of the enchilada now; it won't be good. So, the entire one. And when you do that, you're going to be in alignment. Will it be easy? It will be the hardest thing you've ever done. It'll be the hardest thing that you've ever done, and me as well, to pick up our cross and follow Him. That's what He commands: pick up our cross and follow Him. What does that mean? That means to do what He did: keep the Sabbath, keep the days, keep the feast days, understand the covenants, love the Jewish people, love mankind, love your enemy, love everybody, and do our part, and we start to get the picture a little bit better. You know, we've gotten off of these things in teaching and discipleship, and none of us, again, know anything. But at the same time, we should all be doing our best to try to purify, try to speak life into people through these things, through the scriptures, through the Hebrew letters, through the understanding, through the revelation, through the prophecies. And if we're not, we're missing a big part of Revelation 19:10, where it says, "The testimony of Yeshua is the spirit of prophecy." My friends, that goes into everything: calendar, feast days, table of nations, Hebrew letters, everything. Everything is the testimony of Yeshua. The entire Bible is about Him. Every story, you can get a glimpse of Yeshua out of it. So again, my friends, this is just me talking to you as friends. You know, we have eyesight, and our eyesight is very, very important to deal with. The next Hebrew letter is going to be Peh. It's going to be the mouth. So, we're hitting on some very key elements of these things that we have to really watch out for. I know my eyesight, I've got to have blinders on, kind of like a Kentucky Derby. Boom. You know, a horse race, you know, straight ahead, not to the right, not to the left, straight ahead. And then our mouths as well can go back into a horse as well. We've got to bridle our mouths, right? So, we can get a lot of understanding out of the horses, for sure. Is the blinders run the race, right? Kind of like Secretariat run the race with blinders on. And obviously with bridles in our mouth, especially someone like myself who has to watch their mouth, which we all do. And we'll get into that on next week's letter.
But my friends, let's just read this one more time, just out of respect for Yah and also for King David: "I have done justice and righteousness; do not leave me to my oppressors. Be surety for Your servant for good. Do not let the proud oppress me. My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation and Your righteous word. Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy, and teach me Your statutes. I am Your servant; give me understanding that I may know Your testimonies. It is time for You to act, O Adonai, for they have regarded Your law as void. Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold, yes, more than fine gold. Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things I consider to be right, and I hate every false way." In the name of bloody Yeshua. Amen. Amen. And amen.
So, well, I'll leave this prayer with you guys. Please receive this if you'd like. May we receive the revelation and anointing of Ayin as we continue to set apart ourselves on our spiritual purification journey from the cross to the crown. As we journey on our spiritual purification process in the ark of God, let us remember that love is the key that opens the door to the entire spectrum of God's will and purpose for our lives, including His refinement of us during this time. Let us also accept the anointing of the ordinal number of Ayin, which is a double portion of the superabundant number of eight, symbolizing new life, new beginnings. As for the numerical value for Ayin, may we receive its revelation as well, which is the spiritual purification of divine order, with order being highlighted. Let us remember to guard our eyes from anything and everything that is unholy and unrighteous to Yah, so that we are not in danger of Isaiah's judgment that Yeshua confirmed in the Gospel accounts. May our eyes continue to be refined and purified so that we will always look out of the good eye versus the evil eye and choose good over evil and right from wrong as we continue to set apart ourselves on our spiritual purification journey. As always and forevermore, may the eye in the sky, the eye of Elohim, watch over us, guide and lead us to the promises written in the Book of Life in the courts of heaven before the foundation of the world. Amen. Amen. And amen.
Well, thank you very much, everybody, for being with us tonight on a very powerful letter as we continue to go down our journey with Elohim's Aleph-Bet. We really appreciate it. One quick note before we go to the chats: we will be releasing the second edition to "The Cross to the Crown," which is basically where this is coming from right now. I wrote it in 2023, I think, or 2022 somewhere in there. So, this is about the third year or fourth year that we've gone through the series, but we wanted to give the update. There's more information in the second edition, so to speak, some more chapters on the timeline, on God's prophetic timeline. And that's what it basically is. It's the book basically that goes around the entire calendar year and hits these important dates for all of us Christians to understand how important these are to Elohim and to be in alignment with Him. It even goes through the fast days, it goes through Purim, goes through Hanukkah, the fast of the fourth, the fifth, the seventh, and the tenth. So, it hits all the major feast days, Passover, you name it. So, again, that should be out here very soon. The editing is done, and now we just have to upload it to Amazon, which, goodness, that could take the most time, actually, but hopefully, God willing, it will go smoothly, and I'll let everybody know once it is on Amazon, and it will be on the website as well. Don't forget to visit us on the website. We have some cool gadgets there as well, some crossword puzzles, some games and stuff like that, Bible quizzes, and we'll have new books, music, you name it, on there as well. It does have an AI on there that you can ask a question, and it'll take you to the video and take you to a summary of the video, and it's pretty cool how that stuff works until it doesn't work. But please visit us on there. We'd love to see you. And we'll have more updates on the site with the Israel trip and also many more aspects. Thank you very much for being with us tonight, everybody. We do appreciate it. We'll go to the comments section really quick and see what happens.
Mr. David Chin, great to see you, my friend. Hope all is well out in the Southwest. We'll be speaking very soon, man. I hope all is well. Thank you so much for joining us. Miss Sandra, thank you so much for joining us as always. Great to see you. We hope you're having a great week and we hope you have a great week ahead, and we'll see you soon. Mr. Michael, shalom to you. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for your email. I really appreciate it, and I will be getting back with you as soon as possible. Hope you have a great week. And yes, I'll be responding to you here shortly. Mr. Evan, great to see you, my friend. We hope all is well. And he says, "It is my month." That's right. July 10th, 1976, is our brother's birthday. So, happy birthday. Pre-birthday, about 11 days from now, 10 days from now. And we hope you have a great birthday and a blessed year ahead. Great to see you.
Miss Pashan River 9397, shalom to you. Thank you so much for joining us. Great to see you as always. We hope all is well down under. We hope you guys are doing well and we really appreciate you being with us and hope you have a great week and we hope to see you again very soon. Shalom to you. Mr. Michael, "I want interactive Bible courses Genesis to Revelation with automated feedback. Please, please, please." We will try our best, my friend, to get that done for you. Benas, great to see you. Shalom to you. Great to see you again. Hope all has been going well in the beautiful country of Jamaica. This scripture reminds me of Yeshua saying, "The poor you will always have with you always." That's right. And that's where He was getting it from is from Deuteronomy 15 and also Leviticus 25 with the Sabbatical year and the Lord's release, and what He was expecting the people that had wealth. He was expecting them to have their hearts positioned towards the poor. And that's why He told them not to glean all the corners of their field as well, right? To give it to the poor. So Yeshua took care of the poor, He took care of the widows, right? And that's something that we have to get back to. The poor, the widows, and the orphans. Remember what He told... And this is just speaking out loud, not really to the conversation here, but it goes with it. Remember what He told... I forgot what I was saying now since I made that extra comment, but He was really just going back to the Torah and what He was meaning with the poor, the widows, and the orphans, and really, we'll be judged on that, you know, how we treated our poor, how we treated our widows, and also our orphans as well. We have to get back to that. What did He say to the disciples when He said, "Hey, your mother and your relatives are with you"? He said, "You want to know who my mother, my brother, and my sister are? Those who do the will of my Father in heaven." Pretty radical stuff, isn't it? Not saying that He didn't love His mother. Of course, He did. He was just making a point that we're all one. We're all a coterie. And we've got to do a better job of taking care of the poor in the United States of America. We've got to do a better job. There should not be anybody... I can't speak for any other country other than my country, America, and what's expected in Israel because it's biblical, is that we've got to do a better job. That's just the bottom line. In the United States of America, we've got way too many homeless people out there, and we... it shouldn't be like that. We've got way too many people that are hungry. Of course, it should not be like that. We've got way too many people that are poor. Again, it should not be like that. Again, this is not meaning to get into a conversation about capitalism or socialism or none of that stuff. No, I could care less about that conversation. The heart position is what I'm speaking of. And we can just do a better job of taking care of the less fortunate, the poor, the orphans, and also our widows. Amen. And amen. Thank you so much for that. I really appreciate it, and we hope you have a great week ahead.
Miss Wanda, shalom to you. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for everything that you do. I really appreciate it personally, and we hope all is well. We hope you're having a great week. Mr. Evan, shalom. Amen. Amen. I think that looks like homeschooling, whether it be you or spouse or another person that's homeschooling you, and you could join that little group. Okay, Mr. Evan, this is the best way to teach our kids. I have two teachers in my family and four retired. With my mom being one that retired and came out of retirement because she felt she needed to be there, trying to make a difference not only in the children's lives but some of the teachers as well, and she is an amazing woman. I know Evan's mother, she's very amazing. And that's what it takes, you know, is discipleship. You know, I know another friend of mine who does it where I'm from, you know, he does a great job with discipleship. Disciplehip. We've lost that. And this is not being... in any kind of way towards the church or the synagogues. We've just lost that. Myself included. We've got to make sure we do a better job. Whoever has been given these things to teach, to disciple people, just like Yeshua said, you know, we've got to get the education out there. A lot of people would love the knowledge. People would love knowledge if they had the right space to go to. And like I tell people, this is not a criticism. This is just being honest. Christianity cannot show you or me. They cannot teach us the calendar, the days, the Sabbatical, all these things. It just is not in their theology. It's not a criticism. Well, it is, but it's just it's not in their theology. So, how could they? Because they're all indoctrinated into "it's the law's void," you know, just like King David said it's not. And King David would come against that pretty much with the sword, actually. It's how King David would handle that stuff if you go read him. Okay. And what happened? So again, we just have to get back to these things. It's okay. It's not okay, but it's... let's go. Let's just go get up. So, my whole thing is this: sometimes people take us the wrong way. Sometimes people take you the wrong way. It's nothing about any criticism, or I'm not anti-no one except anti-terrorist. That's about the only thing that I'm anti, or anti-abortion, and all that. But you guys know I'm not anti-people. I root for people. So, people take sometimes all of you or myself the wrong way. And it's nothing other than giddy up. I mean, let's just giddy up and get it right. You know, there's no condemnation through me or none of that. I don't have the right to do none of that. I'm trying to keep myself in alignment. But goodness, people just have to quit being offended so much and just let's giddy up. Let's giddy up. Let's... It's okay. If we're wrong, let's just try to get it to the right way that we possibly can and let go of all the indoctrination. Let's go all the pagan traditions. Let's get... get on it, both Christian, Jew, and Muslim, and all of them. All of us has to get right. So, I just wanted to say that. I think sometimes people take passion and zeal the wrong way from you guys, from many other people, from myself, or whoever. And all everybody I hope is trying to do is wake up. Giddy up. Let's go. Because I think we can all tell that times are changing, as Bob Dylan said.
Miss Lisa, thank you so much for joining us. Shalom to you. Great to see you as always. We hope all is well in the Caymans and you guys are staying cool down there. "Hey Chadwick, blessings from the beautiful Cayman Islands." And they are beautiful indeed, kind of like all of you down there. And we'll be with you guys very soon, I think, on Shabbat as well. And I'm looking forward to reconnecting with you guys on Shabbat. So, we hope all is well down in the Caymans and we'll see you again very soon.
Mr. Evan, "A powerful prayer, brother. I felt it through the internet." Amen. Amen. And amen. Well, thank you very much. Thank you very much for being with us tonight. And it's just very powerful to glean in on these Hebrew letters. Not that we have to be scholars, but just the understanding of the eyesight, of the ears, of the mouth, or whatever the Hebrew letter is really pointing to. That's how Moses would have taught the people, right? Is through the pictographs of the eyes. And goodness, Isaiah as well, since he got the revelation from the throne of heaven. Can you imagine that? The prophet Isaiah up there in the throne room, excuse me, in front of Yeshua, his lips were touched by coal. That goes into another revelation if people don't understand that of the holy anointing oil and the incense in Exodus 30 and forward. They're doing that in heaven, by the way. And that's why the prophet Isaiah was cleansed with his lips because the altar in heaven with the incense touched his lips, and he was holy, anointed. And then he said, "Who shall go before us?" The Almighty said that in Isaiah 6. And Isaiah said, "I am a man of unclean lips, but here I am. Haden, send me." And He said, "I'm going to send you. Go tell the people, shut their eyes, shut their ears." So, who wants to be a prophet out there? Okay, that's the message of the prophets. It's not "Ain't life grand." It's "Cleanse, purify, or bad things are going to happen. Close their eyes, close their ears so they do not understand." Wow. It's pretty hardcore stuff, man.
"Yes. So powerful. Cannot wait." Amen. Amen. Miss Linda, shalom. Great to see you as always. Thank you for everything. Shalom. "These teachings are truly anointed. Thank you, Chadwick." Well, thank you so much, and praise Yah. And I really appreciate you being a part of everything. I really do. Thank you so much for your heart. Amen. Mr. Trisha, great to see you. We finally connected here online. I know you're over in Europe, somewhere over in Europe. I don't want to disclose that, but hopefully, you're doing well. You and your family, you and Keith are doing well over there. I hope your book's doing well that Keith put out as well. So, shalom to y'all. I hope all is well over in Europe. So happy to hear you live. Blessings to you all. And it is nice to get our European friends, or our American friends who live overseas in Europe, to be a part of the live as well. So, it's always good to connect with you guys, and we hope you are having a great week and we hope you guys are staying safe over in Europe.
Miss Linda, "Chadwick, just wanted to share this. I saw Secretariat run, and every time I saw him, I saw the glory of Elohim around the track. The saying was, 'He is the horse that God made.' Thanks for letting me share." Well, you know what? You can share that anytime because the horses are amazing creatures, right? I mean, amazing animals that... I mean, goodness, think about the Four Horsemen in Revelation, right? So, amazing creatures. I mean, He made a donkey speak, right? Even though it's not a horse, it's a jackass, but He still made it speak. So, I'm a huge Secretariat fan. In fact, if I can just talk about it right now since it's at the end of the video, Secretariat still owns all three major races, the quickest, the fastest to run them. Number one, 1973 is when he did it. That's a very long time. A lot of great horses came since that time, and Secretariat still owns the record of the Derby, Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and also the Belmont. He won the Belmont by 31 lengths. I'll tell a quick story on that really quick, whoever cares to listen. So, there is... and you can probably find this online because I saw this online back in 2004, 2005, somewhere in there, that they had this ESPN documentary about Secretariat, and there was a sports reporter from ESPN. I can't remember the guy's name. You can just look it up, I guess. But he slept in the stall with... where Secretariat was. I'm not saying in the stall, but he was in the horse where they were sleeping, and he was right outside Secretariat's stall that night. The entire night he stayed out there, and the guy... I wish he could tell the story because he was there. But anyhow, he told the story that, man, he didn't sleep at all. Secretariat didn't like... the entire night he did not sleep. He was lathered up. I mean, he was ready to rock and roll. His eyes were like saucers, the guy said. And the next day he won by 31 lengths. Now, let me tell you, the next horse that was next to him was called Sham. And if anyone knows about horses, that horse would have probably won the Triple Crown if Secretariat didn't that year, 1973. That's how great Sham was. And Secretariat blew him out of the water at the Belmont. 31 lengths. So again, I'm a big believer in that. I don't... again, just talking about horses, but amazing, amazing creatures. But yeah, anybody wants to talk about Secretariat, I'm all for that. And I'm so happy that you got to see actually run in a live race. One of my good friends in my hometown, he and his family went out, and I'm not going to tell the entire story because I'm not sure if this is kosher to do, but I'll see if I can say it in a way that people can know what I'm saying. But anyhow, he was the man. And they said that before because they went to where he retired, and they said that when they fed the horses, that none of the horses would even come near the feed until Secretariat got finished first. So, I guess he's the alpha, right? Like other horses could tell that he was the alpha of the group, so to speak. And from what they say, and maybe I'll get myself in trouble a little bit, but whenever he came up to the people, to the tourists there to see Secretariat, he knew that they were there. And I'll just leave it at that. But something about horses. But anyhow, he was an alpha. He was a great horse. And I do believe that God does use horses like that to inspire all of us. And they said whenever they cut Secretariat open after he passed away, that his heart was like double the size heart of an average horse. He had a huge heart. But anyhow, I know he put a lot of love into a lot of people, including myself and some of my friends and stuff. But anyhow, just thought I'd share that tidbit with you. Thank you very much, Linda. Yes. Amazing, amazing horse. I love them.
Shalom to you, Janice. Thank you so much for joining us. Great to see you. We hope all is well up in the Northeast and you guys are doing great this summer, and we hope to see you very soon. Shalom to you. It was the... hopefully when he was two years old, Saratoga. Yep. It's good to see another horse fan out there because I love them. They're... I mean, goodness, veteran human beings, most of them are. So are dogs, you know, as well. So thank you so much for sharing that, Miss Linda. And thank you, everybody, for being with us tonight. We really appreciate it. These are always fun videos to do with a lot of great revelation with the Hebrew language. Again, we'll be with you tomorrow night for Tammuz 17th, or the fourth month, the 17th day of the month, for this important fast day. In Zechariah 8, it's called the Fast of the Fourth. Now, that's not tomorrow. It starts tomorrow night. Okay? So, tomorrow, or right now, is Tammuz 16th. Tomorrow night, this time, will be Tammuz 17th. And they call that Zechariah 8, for those who might not be with us tomorrow night. Zechariah 8 says, "The fast of the fourth, the fast of the fifth, the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth." So, what does that mean? Well, it's important, first off, to understand that He's speaking about the biblical calendar. He's not speaking about April, May, September, and January, or October, I'm sorry. He's not talking about the Gregorian calendar. He's talking about the fast of the fourth biblical month, the fast of the fifth biblical month, and the seventh and the tenth. So, that's the first thing that we have to correct ourselves, because there are people who would look at that and think He's talking about the Gregorian calendar, which He is not, because it's not based upon the sun and the moon. It's just not His calendar. It's a great scientific calendar. It's just not the one that God uses for the anointings. So, when it says the fast of the fourth, it's talking about the fourth month, which they call Tammuz, the 17th day of the month, which is when the golden calf was erected. That day became a fast day and a judgment day. That begins the three weeks of dire straits or three weeks of sorrow. It ends on the fast of the fifth, which is the ninth day of Av. Why did the ninth day of Av become a fast day? Is because that's when the ten spies brought back the bad report in the second year of the Exodus. First year, golden calf. Fasted the fourth. The second year, they were about to enter into the land. God sent 12 spies. Only two brought back the good report: Joshua and Caleb. They entered. All the rest of them died. And that day became the fast of the fifth, the ninth day of Av. Since that time, it's the most cursed day in biblical history: the ninth day of Av. Both temples were destroyed on that day. Okay, pretty crazy. The fast of the seventh. Remember they killed the high priest Gedaliah. So, they remember that on the fast of the seventh, which is Tishrei 3. And then God said the fast of the tenth, which is Tevet, the 10th month of the biblical calendar. Nebuchadnezzar came to town. Tevet 10. So that's why it's the fast of the tenth, because of Nebuchadnezzar. All right. So, you have four fast days in Zechariah 8:22-24. And what's so beautiful about it is God said that He's going to turn these fast days into joyful gladness, cheerful feast days at the millennial kingdom. How beautiful is that, my friends? So, if you're going to be with Jesus in the thousand-year reign, then you will be celebrating the ninth day of Av and the 17th. It's probably not going to be called the Babylonian names, but it'll be the fourth month fast. It'll be a feast. The fifth fast will be a feast. The seventh fast will be a feast. And the tenth fast will be a feast as well. So, just like I tell my Christian friends: if you want to be in the millennial kingdom, then don't you think you need to understand why there are fast days that will turn into feast days? Wouldn't that be responsible, as a believer, to understand why those days were fast days so that our temples aren't destroyed, so that we will be a part of the millennial kingdom and enjoy the feast days? Remember, those are divine appointments, everybody. Feast is called a Moed. So, not only will you have the seven Moedim that we have in Leviticus 23, or really eight with the Sabbath, you'll also have, in this case, Tammuz 17th as a feast day. You'll have the ninth day of Av as a feast day, not a cursed day. Nothing's going to be destroyed. Then it's going to be a feast day. Tishrei 3, feast day. And then Tevet 10 will be overturned into a feast day. We have a lot of great things ahead of us, my friends. But we have to understand them. They're going to be surprises, no matter what. But at the same time, some people don't know that about the fast of the fourth, the fifth, the seventh, and the tenth will be feast days. So, just as we celebrate Passover, you'll be celebrating tomorrow night a feast day in the millennial kingdom. It's pretty amazing to be a part of. So, hopefully, you'll be with us tomorrow night at 8:00 PM. And I will go through the calendar. We'll show you the 40 days, how important it is. We'll show you the trajectory further on the three weeks of sorrow, and then even beyond that, as we go into the Feast of Trumpets, and how all of those things do connect. But my friends, thank you so much for being with us tonight. It's been a true pleasure to be with you, and we hope to see you again here tomorrow night at 8:00 PM. And until that time, may God bless you. May He keep you. May His face shine upon you and give you His grace. May He lift up His countenance upon you and your families and give you His everlasting shalom. My name is Chadwick Harvey, and you've reached Faithful Performance. Good night, everybody. We'll see you tomorrow night.
Lord, thank You for saving me, lost to found. Move me along the floodwaters, higher ground. Lord, guide me in Your arms so I don't lose my crown. Forever I'll rest in Your arms, safe and sound. Oh, forever I'll rest in Your arms, safe and sound. Oh, safe and sound.
