We hope all is well. Great to see you as always. We hope you've been doing well, and we hope you and your family have a great month ahead, and hope to see you soon, my friend. And amen, Mr. Evan. Amen to the gates being open. That's right. Right.

The gates being opened. Psalm 24. I love that. The gates open. Open up, gates. Open up, you doors, and let the King of glory come in. Monster Ball, "One way road ahead." That's right. There's only one way. There's no detours. There's no nothing. Well, there is, but you can't go through the detours, right? One road only for both the Jew and the Gentile who believes in Yeshua and Yah and the blessed Holy Spirit. Only one way, and that's so important to recognize. Thank you so much for that confirmation. Okay. Shalom to you, Denise. Thank you so much for joining us. So, we hope you and your family are doing well, and we hope you guys have a beautiful month ahead, and the righteous rendered verdicts pour out on all of you guys. Miss Denise, Psalm 146:2, "I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live." Amen to that. Psalm 147:1, "The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love." I love that.

The Lord delights in those who fear Him, right? Who put their hope in His unfailing love. And when I say fear, or when the scriptures say fear Him, that's not meaning say, "Oh, God." No, none of that. A healthy fear, a reverence, you know, a reverence fear is what He's really looking for with that. So, the Lord does delight in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love. Amen. Okay, Mr. Michael, shalom. Happy Rosh Chodesh to you as well. We hope you and your family had a great month ahead. We hope you guys had a great feast season here last month. Shalom. "I am late. I'm sorry. Please forgive me." Please, no, no worries, my friend. No worries. It's always great to see you, and whenever you come on, you come on, right? And we'll see you whenever you come on. And we really appreciate you joining us, Michael. "I have new month service on Zoom with Dell." Very good, my friend.

"And I miss you." Well, thank you so much. And I miss you too, my friend. And it's great to see you. Miss Denise, "Echad and Yeshua." Very important concept. Kind of like the concept of being set apart. You know, *echad* kind of the same thing. Set apart in Yeshua. Being *echad* in Yeshua, being one, being together with Him. These are very important concepts to have, because again, He's wanting all of us to be in alignment with Him, or be set apart in Him. How can we be set apart in Him? By doing my thing? No. By doing your thing? No. By doing the church's thing? No. By doing the synagogue thing? No. By doing what thing? By doing the word of God thing. So if you follow the Holy Bible from Genesis to Revelation truly, then you're doing that. Unfortunately, not one religion does that. So that's why you've got to get rid of the religions, okay? Because there's not one religion that's following the word of God from Genesis to Revelation.

Not one. Judaism? No. Christianity? No. What else? Mormonism? No. Catholicism? Of course not. Um, what else? So there's not one religion following Genesis to Revelation. And whenever there is a religion that does that, please let me know, and I'll be a part of that. But until that time, I will not be a part of that, because I'm not in religion at all. We've got to be in Yeshua. Just like our friend here said, in the word made flesh. Okay? Because if you're *echad* in the word made flesh, then you're *echad* in Torah. Why? Because He is the Torah made flesh. He is the living Torah, the word made flesh. Word of God made flesh. So again, if you're in Yeshua, you're *echad* in Torah. You're *echad* in Yeshua because He's the living Torah. So again, if we can understand it from these simple concepts of these things, that if He's the living Torah, that means it's not done away with, right? If He's the word made flesh, as John 1 says, the New Testament says, then that means the Torah is not done away with if He is the Torah.

Does that make sense? So, something for our Christian friends to understand is if, since John 1 says He's the word made flesh, word of God made flesh, that means Torah made flesh, first five books of the Bible made flesh. That's what that means. So again, people really need to meditate on that to really understand what that truly means. That means to worship Him in spirit and in truth. It's not just believing in Jesus and going into the world and doing your thing or doing my thing. It's not it. It's worshiping in spirit and truth because He's the living Torah. No sacrifices, none of that stuff that Christians want to go to. No sacrifices at all. Okay? That's only the High Priest. And that tells us the educational level when people start talking like that, because it's not about sacrifices. It's about worshiping in spirit and truth, and letting the High Priest worry about all those sacrifices.

Okay? In this case, it would be David and the High Priest, the Zadokites, and all that. Okay? And we need to worry about what we do. And that means to worship Him in spirit and in truth. It's really a hard position that we have to have. But if one wants to go read John chapter 1, that would be very good. "The word made flesh." What does that mean? The word of God was made flesh. What is the word of God? The first five books of the Bible. That's it. Okay. The prophets are not the actual word of God. That's "thus saith the Lord." Psalms, same thing. Okay. The actual word of God is the first five books of the Bible, the Torah. So whenever Paul is writing, "the word of God is alive" in Hebrews 4, he was not what he was writing is not the word of God. It was inspired by the Holy Spirit. Okay? When he writes, "the word of God is alive and well, sharper than a two-edged sword," he's talking about the first five books of the Bible.

That's what Paul's talking about, or John, or Peter, or any of the New Testament writers. The word of God, literally speaking, is the first five books of the Bible, the laws, the commandments. The prophets, "thus saith the Lord." The Psalms, same thing. And then the word was made flesh, first coming events. Okay? So, we just have to understand these things so we don't get caught up in replacement theology either on the Jew side or the Gentile side. Both sides have replacement theology. Okay? So, we've got to get out of both of them, Jews and Christians. Okay? So, again, it's crazy stuff, isn't it? But it's really that easy to understand. Show me a religion who believes Yeshua is the King and Messiah and the Savior of the world, Holy Spirit, and Torah observant, and I'll go to that religion. But no one can, because there's not one religion that does it. And that is very sad to me. After 6,000 years, we don't have one religion that understands to follow Genesis to Revelation.

Not one religion. I mean, how sad is that? Okay, Sean Q, my friend. Thank you so much for joining us. Sorry, my friends, I've got an allergy kicking right now with something right now. So, sorry about that.

Shalom, Chadwick. What activities do the Lord's people engage in to observe the new moon in our days? That's a very good question. And first and foremost, shalom to you, Jess. Thank you so much for joining us. It's always great to see you. Thank you for your emails and everything. So, I'll give you my personal opinion on this, but to me, it's about observing and understanding the scriptures and the things we should observe. There aren't really specific observances like Passover or Tabernacles. But from what I understand, for me personally, I just recognize and observe that it is the new month on the calendar. I look into the scriptures of the month and the scriptures during that month. So, to me, it's about aligning the scriptures with the month and understanding where that comes from. Then, I also consider where we are on the calendar, which new month we're on, and the anointings that go into that month.

So, to me, it's more about education and knowledge. And then, of course, if you have friends and family who want to celebrate the new month with you and hang out, then of course. But for me, it's about understanding the anointings, understanding the trajectory of the calendar, understanding where we are on the calendar, and just being in alignment with Him. So, if we're in alignment with Him on these months, then we'll understand the anointings and all these things we've discussed. Hopefully, I haven't confused you more than helped you. But for me, it's not so much about activities as it is about scriptures, fellowship, and prayers. I'm sure that's what you're talking about as well, Jess. Activities, prayer, praying, anointing. People forget to anoint themselves as well. Anointing is very important. Daniel anointed himself every day. He anointed himself a lot. Yeshua anointed everybody.

The disciples anointed people. Mark 6:13 says they cast out demons and raised the dead, among other things. What does it say in James 5? "Anoint with oil in the name of the Master, the holy anointing oil."

So again, the Shabbat, the new moon, Passover, Tabernacles, the eighth day—all of these are very important days to apply oil, be on your knees in prayer. All of these applications are very important, and anointing yourselves with oil is super important. Yeshua did not do one baptism when He was on this earth; not one. The disciples did all the baptisms. He did all the anointings. He is called the Anointed One. That's what Yeshua HaMashiach means: the Anointed One, the Messiah, the Anointed One. Christ means the Anointed One. We forget that. We've got to understand He is the Anointed One and not forget to anoint our heads, or whatever it may be, to anoint ourselves on these important days, on the feast days, on the Sabbath, on the new moons.

I know I'm going off in different directions, Jess, but hopefully, that helps. That's what I personally try to do: anoint myself on the new moon. I do it on the feast days. I'll do it on some Sabbaths. But on the new moon, I do it every new moon. Anoint ourselves, understand the scriptures, understand the anointings, understand the trajectory of the calendar, and all these things. So that's personally more how I observe it. And then, yes, family and friends, we'll feast, we'll have a nice dinner, whatever it may be, a cookout or whatever. So that's just the way that we do it personally. I don't think there's really one way to do it, but that's just some of my personal practices. Thank you for the great question, by the way. Thank you so much for that, Jess. And I hope you have a great month ahead. Okay, Miss Sandra, shalom to you. Thank you so much for joining us. Rosh Chodesh to you as well.

We hope you have a great month ahead, you and your family. Shalom. "I am looking for a way to start the Shabbat biblically and not traditionally." Yes. And that goes into a lot of things, but yes. I'll give you an email, Sandra. Probably the best way to do that is I'll just give you an email about these things. I believe I have your email. And if I don't, if you don't mind to email me just to make sure I do, because I do believe I have it, but you never know with me sometimes with my emails and computer systems. But if you want to give me an email to make sure, I will email you back. As far as just an overall understanding of these things, my friends, of what Miss Sandra is saying, give me one second. I'm looking for a way to start the Shabbat biblically and not traditionally. For me, I'm just speaking for myself. I don't do a lot of the traditional stuff. I mean, again, I don't have a problem with people doing it.

For instance, the candles, the two candles—that's not in the Bible to light two candles for Shabbat. It's just not. I don't have a problem with it. I think it's a great tradition, but it's just not biblically commanded to light two candles before Shabbat. It's just not. So, again, that's just something that we have to separate. I've got family members who light two candles before Shabbat. I've done it myself. So, I mean, I don't do it every Shabbat or anything, but at times, or with family or with friends, light two candles. It's not a big deal. But it's not a commanded thing. So, if you don't light two candles for Shabbat, it's not like you're breaking the commandments, because it's not a commandment; it's a tradition. I think it's a beautiful tradition; it's just a tradition. What else would be something that people do that would be a traditional thing? The candles are really traditional.

For me, I just try to follow the commandment. "Remember the Sabbath day," as it says in Exodus 20. Keep it holy, rest, don't work. I just do the things that are in the Bible, right? So that's what I personally try to stay scripturally in tune. I don't think that's just me personally. So, again, I don't work on Shabbat. I don't really do anything on Shabbat. I used to do certain personal activities on Shabbat; I don't even do those anymore because it's really—it's not really; it is the Lord's day, not my day. I've got six days I can do whatever I want. Or, you know what I'm saying? I've got six days that are common, but the Shabbat is His day. So I want to be with Him and whatever He wants to do. Now, I'm not saying you can't go to the river, you can't go to the ocean, you can't go to the beach, you can't go to the mountains. Yes. But for me personally, it's about Him and it's about understanding what the scriptures say.

Don't work on Shabbat. Again, I understand the way this world works. And if you do have to work, I'm not judging anybody. I'm just saying the Bible does say do not work on Shabbat. Six days work; don't work on that day. So, I don't work on Shabbat. I try not to cook on Shabbat. I try to prepare all that before Shabbat. So, I do that. Keep it holy. Remember the Sabbath. And yeah, I just keep it focused on Him, with the scriptures, with family, with friends, and all these things. And I try not to cook on Shabbat. And what else? Pretty much, I said, I don't get into too much traditional stuff. I don't really do all that stuff. I don't think you have to. There's nowhere in the Torah that you have to say certain prayers on Sabbath. There's nowhere in the Bible that says that. Not anything. So, I don't get into all the traditional stuff. I just stick with the commandment. Rest, don't work, keep it holy.

And if you do those three, you're good. Rest, keep it holy, don't work. And I think you're pretty good with that. But again, people do different things and stuff like that. As far as, let me see. I'm trying to think of what else I do. It's a great question, but I'll give you an email. But that's—I just try to keep it scriptural as possible. I don't get into all the traditional stuff. Great. Traditional prayers, great. Candles, great. All that, great. I've done it. I've been a part of it. Great. I just don't do it every Shabbat. And I don't think you have to every Shabbat. I think it says what it says in the Torah: Keep it holy, don't work, remember the Sabbath. To me, that's it. But then you can get sideways with it as well. But I will give you an email. And I really appreciate it. I'll send you—what a great question, by the way. Amen. Michael, "I want to go to Israel." Well, hopefully, that will happen for you, my friend.
