WORMWOOD

HEBREW ROOTS RESEARCH BY LEW WHITE

What Is Wormwood?

When men teach us to disregard the instructions of Yahuah, we have eaten wormwood (altered patterns of behavior).
Those who teach us do not regard YashaYahu 8:20.
We have endured centuries of false teachings under false shepherds, eating their wormwood.

The Secret of Lawlessness In One Word: WORMWOOD

A Bitterness Toward Obedience

Babel's Ishtar: the Great Mother of Harlots

Her teachings: freedom and liberty from Yahuah 

  

FREEDOM FROM OBEYING YAHUAH - AS NIMROD WANTED

The Easter Harlot's Babylonian Roots

Christian teachers are scrambling to recover from what could be the greatest wardrobe malfunction for the Mother of Harlots.

It’s the direct connection between the name Ishtar and Easter.

About 1985, I began to study Scripture as a theological archaeologist. Just below the surface of every familiar term and custom there was a filthy core hiding behind a candy-coating.

These discoveries inspired the book, Fossilized Customs.

The author Alexander Hislop, author of The Two Babylons, was also a theological archaeologist whose eyes were opened to the connection between Nimrod’s reign and the 4th beast, Rome’s Magisterium.

He drew the connection between the words Easter and Ishtar, yet his critics claim that phonetics (the sound of words) is a worthless proof.

When proper names are concerned, is that really the case, or is the proof too overwhelming to face for those who risk losing their position in a false teaching authority? The Anglican Catholic KJV is the only English translation using the word Easter. - Acts 12:4

The Hebrew term PESAK was transliterated (not translated) into the Greek script 29 times as PASCHA. The KJV’s use of the word Easter at Acts 12:4 defies logic, since if it could be justified in one instance, then why not all 29 instances? The dirty little secret is that this Catholic tradition overwhelmed the translators, and now everyone is claiming the meaning behind the word Easter is still clean. They are trying to put a new crust over it with claims that it means “dawn” (still based another pagan deity of the dawn, Aurora). Magicians use misdirection to deceive, and Jesuits use casuistry in the same way.

When the Truth of the term Easter is made known across the world, it will awaken millions from their slumber. This is beginning to happen and Christian pastors are posting their explanations as fast as they can to reduce the damage to their authority. The Easter Harlot has had a major wardrobe malfunction and the world is going to get a good look at it.

As usual, they are playing on the ignorance of their followers, using “translation” as the universal equivocation device.

They are turning to meanings based on Anglo-Saxon, German, Greek, and Latin. Ishtar, Eastre, Ostern, and many others have no connection with Yahusha’s language or His resurrection, but they do relate to Aurora, Aphrodite, Diana, Libertas, Ashtaroth, Durga, and other terms for the mother goddess worshipped by witches. Other wardrobe malfunctions are to come.

The worship of the host of heaven by means of Babel’s zodiac, or vows to the queen of heaven though every birthday cake, are being shown to have nothing to do with Yahusha's behavior. Yahusha is cleansing the filth from His bride in a worldwide behavior revolution.

Here is a recent posting that basically says, “Move along, there’s nothing to see here.”

Constantine (the father of Christianity) becomes part of their explanation:

Easter question posted at Jesus.org:

Is Easter Named for a Pagan Goddess?

“Our English word Passover, happily, in sound and sense, almost corresponds to the Hebrew [pesach], of which is a translation (Exodus 12:27). The Greek pascha, formed from the Hebrew, is the name of the Jewish festival, applied invariably in the primitive church to designate the festival of the Lord’s resurrection, which took place at the time of the passover.

Our word Easter is of Saxon origin, and of precisely the same import with its German cognate Ostern. The latter is derived from the old Teutonic form of auferstehn, Auferstehung, which means “resurrection.” The name Easter is undoubtedly preferable to pascha or passover, but the latter was the primitive name.”

"The word Easter is of Saxon origin, the name is eastre, the goddess of spring in whose honor sacrifices were offered about Passover time each year. By the eighth century Anglo-Saxons had adopted the name to designate the celebration of Christ's resurrection."  -  from An Ecclesiastical History to the Twentieth Year of the Reign of Constantine, 4th ed., trans. Christian F. Cruse (London: Oxford Univ. Press, 1847).

Did the explanation by Jesus.org work for you?

Equivocation is employed to defend the error. The misdirection is in their translation of the German word, auferstehn, which doesn’t mean resurrection.

It is a word that refers to springtime, and means “to resuscitate.”

It’s time to wake up now, and be restored to favor with Yahuah.

WORMWOOD

BITTERNESS TOWARD YAHUAH'S WORD

WHO’S WHO? Proverbs 28:4:

“Those who forsake the Torah praise the wrong,

Those who guard the Torah strive with them.”

Read that again slowly, and let’s do a little test right now.

Wormwood Test:

Who is serving the dragon, and who is serving Yahusha? Test yourself with the evidence. Wormwood is feeding on, and living by, alterations of Yahuah’s Words.

Pastors and their followers keep repeating they are not “under the law” and don’t live by the “old law” because the Commandments were “fulfilled by Yahusha for us” and obedience is no longer required for our deliverance.

They say the Torah was a curse, and we are no longer “under the law.” People who obey are legalists.

    (aka: heretics, living according to a “false gospel”)

If that is the case, then why does the dragon “make war with a remnant” who “keep the Commandments of Yahuah” and acknowledge Yahusha seen at Revelation 12:17?  

Who does that make those who are making war on the Hebrew Roots and the Natsarim who teach obedience?

“And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those guarding the Commands of Alahim and possessing the witness of Yahusha ha Mashiak.” – Rev 12:17

Which side are you on?

We either live by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of Yahuah, or we live by the ideas and interpretations of lawless teachers.

Yahuah says "I do not change." Men say He does change by altering what He wants and how we should live.

The majority of people go to a weekly assembly hoping this is pleasing to the GOD OF MANY NAMES they hope to learn more about under their steeple, which Yahuah told us to never construct (see Lev. 26:1). They are not taught the seeds (the Ten Commandments), but they are taught all about the fruit.

The Fruit is the behavior, the result of what we have sown in our hearts.

The Seed is the Covenant (the vows of living we commit our lives to live by). It is the will of Yahuah, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

If we change His Seed, we become like genetically-modified (GMO) organisms - an abomination.

If we are taught alterations of the Ten Commandments by men, we are living on wormwood. Our foundation is rotten to the core.

We can talk about the FRUIT all day long, but without the SEED planted in us we'll remain unchanged.

The Seed comes first, then the fruit. 

Yahuah told us He was coming to burn the Earth because of this one thing:

"The Earth is completely emptied and utterly plundered, for Yahuah has spoken this Word. The Earth shall mourn and wither, the world shall languish and wither, the haughty people of the Earth shall languish.

For the Earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Toroth, changed the law, broken the everlasting Covenant."  - YashaYahu / Isaiah 24:3, 4

This will occur on the Day of Yahuah (the vision of many prophets), at the return of Yahusha. See reapers

PHYSICAL & SPIRITUAL LEVELS OF CORRUPTION

 “And the 3rd messenger sounded, and a great star fell from the heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a 3rd of the rivers and on the fountains of water, and the name of the star is called Wormwood. And a 3rd of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.” Rev 8:10,11

PHYSICAL WORMWOOD  -  BITTERNESS

This can be asteroids, war, poison, disease, floods, earthquakes, radiation, crime, etc.

SPIRITUAL WORMWOOD  -  BITTERNESS

This is seen in the behavior of people, and is the result of ignoring or altering the Instructions (Torah) of Yahuah. It’s like a programming flaw,  or a computer virus, that corrupts from the inside.

The origin of this wormwood is the spiritual realm, where our enemy works through people, corrupting their hearts with strongholds (faulty thinking).

Amus 5:7:

  “O you who are turning right-ruling to wormwood, and have cast down righteousness to the Earth!”

This describes the alteration of His Words, taught by false teachers:

Jer/YirmeYahu 9:13-16: “And Yahuah says, ‘Because they have forsaken My Torah which I set before them, and have not obeyed My voice, nor walked according to it,  but they have walked according to the stubbornness of their own heart and after the Baalim (LORDS) which their fathers had taught them.’ 

Therefore thus said Yahuah Tsabaoth, the Alahim of Yisharal, ‘See, I am making this people eat wormwood, and I shall make them drink poisoned water. And I shall scatter them among the gentiles, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. And I shall send a sword after them until I have consumed them.’”

LITERAL & FIGURATIVE

Misinterpretations can corrupt our understanding, and impact our behavior.

Consider Psalms/Tehillim 1:3:

“He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season, and whose leaf does not wither."

Confusing idiomatic abstractions to be literal, we mistake what Yahuah means.

Here we see that Yahuah’s Words express His abstract thoughts.

A person who meditates on the Torah of Yahuah is like these things:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

TREE - upright, righteous one

STREAMS OF LIVING WATER - Words of Torah

FRUIT - good character, good behavior

UNWITHERED LEAF - prosperity

Being held in a demonic stronghold is like a computer virus corrupting our thinking. When we are influenced by men's teachings and false teaching authorities, it is like drinking the water downstream from the herd.

We have to reprogram our thinking by renewing our minds:

Rom 11:33-12:2:  “Oh, the depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of Alahim! How unsearchable His judgments and untraceable His ways! For who has known the mind of Yahuah? Or who has become His counsellor? Or who first gave to Him, and it shall be given back to him?  Because of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all, to whom be esteem forever, Amn.  I call upon you, therefore, brothers, through the compassion of Alahim, to present your bodies a living offering – set-apart, well-pleasing to Alahim – your reasonable worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you prove what is that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of Alahim.”

 

TEACHINGS OF IZEBEL: WORMWOOD

Revelation 2 shows us the teachings of Izebel have corrupted the assembly.

She is the church, aka KIRKE, witchery causing drunkenness through false teachings held in a golden cup, Babel. This woman is mentioned at Rev 18, but called the mother of harlots.

"To the Torah and to the witness; If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because they have no daybreak." Is. / YashaYahu 8:20

The terms bride, first-fruits, lake of fire, beast, false prophet, living water, bosom of Abraham, green tree, dry tree, eye of a needle, evil eye, and so on are idioms, which is why they are misunderstood and always have been by the Alexandrian Culture (circus fathers). Izebel was a real person, but at Rev. 2 her teachings are what Yahusha has against the assembly. Izebel, a witch, taught the 10 northern tribes the fertility behavior - and the Christmas tree is one of the remnants.

The yule (Celtic word for feast) at the time of the solstice, the adoption of heathen symbols of fertility, and the shunning of all Yahuah commanded for us to do (i.e., the rest on the 7th day as Hebrews 4 calls it) is the result of wormwood corrupting our hearts. 

By neglecting Shabath, Passover, Unleavened Bread, First-Fruits, Shabuoth, Yom Teruah, Yom Kafar, and Sukkoth we are left with no sign that we serve Yahuah. Resting on Shabath is the sign forever between Yahuah and His people. If we are His people, we have this mark on us; if not, we aren’t His.
It's called the sign of the
everlasting Covenant (Ez 20:20, Ex 31:16). Instead we see Christianity inherited the
Day of the Sun, enforced by the council of Laodicea (circa 365 CE). This alteration of the Word of Yahuah (Dan. 7:25) is what He calls wormwood (Amus 5:7) - and changing His Words is how witchcraft (rebellion) has become institutionalized.

WORMWOODACIOUSNESS: FULL-ON NIMROD
30 years ago, I asked my pastor if it was alright with him if I rested on the 7th day of each week. He said I'd be Judaizing if I did. What was coming out of his mouth was WORMWOOD. There’s no sin for guarding Yahuah's Commandments, yet the circus has people believing wormwoodacious concepts.

If you observe the correct day, they condemn you, all while they chew on a ham sandwich (see YashaYahu 66).

The nations have inherited ONLY falsehood, futility, and there is no value in them (Jer. 16:19). 
There's no mention in Scripture that resting on the 7th day is any kind of offense at all, but it offends the
teaching authority of men. Natsarim have always rejected the teaching authority of men, and choose instead to obey Yahuah.

The first-fruits (bride, Natsarim) obey the Commandments of Yahuah, and hold to the testimony of Yahusha (Rev. 12 & 14). 
Bringing a detestable thing into our homes
(a tree) makes us accursed like it (Dt. 7).
The
decorated tree is an occult object of fertility
(phallus, testicles, semen), as is the wreath (vagina).

This is rebellion (witchcraft), comes from the teaching authority of Izebel (Rev. 2).

Wormwood leads to madness.

DEFINITION OF PSYCHOSIS:

Psychosis is a loss of contact with reality that usually includes:

False beliefs about what is taking place or who one is (delusions); Seeing or hearing things that aren't there (hallucinations).

A person’s thinking is corrupted when they follow men’s teaching authority, and shun the Torah of Yahuah. If they do not speak according to Torah, they have no light. If they turn their ears away from hearing Torah, even their prayer is an abomination (YashaYahu 8:20, Proverbs 28:9).

Pro 28:4:

“Those who forsake the Torah praise the wrong; Those who guard the Torah strive with them.” 

Are you unknowingly practicing witchcraft? 
Most people are beguiled by traditions, and have very little contact with the Words of Scripture. Using Scripture to evaluate our behavior shows us how witchcraft is employed in unsuspecting ways. Wormwood results in witchcraft.

WITCHCRAFT HAS BEEN INSTITUTIONALIZED 
This hidden witchcraft
(rebellion) is known by the Greek designation: Christianity
The proof of this rebellion will awaken millions. The best place to hide witchcraft is in plain sight.

If you hear the Ten Commandments, and they sound unachievable for you, you have been taught this by men, not Yahuah.

You can sense the bitterness in those who speak against trying to guard them.

Yahuah’s Torah is hated, and believed to have been “done away” or “nailed to the crux.”

The Commandments were not nailed to the tree, but rather the list of our crimes. Yahusha became crime (sin) for us, and He was nailed to the stake for our transgressions, suffering the penalty we legally deserved: DEATH.

He substituted His own life for ours.

This list of our crimes, called by the term chierographon, or hand-writing, is a legal term. It is a list of accusations that were “against us” but has been taken out of the hand of our accuser. The misinterpretation and alteration of Scripture has caused a root of bitterness to grow toward our opinion of the Ten Commandments, rather than sin.

Kolossians 2:14 has been used by our enemy to deceive us, and caused us to feed on this bitterness, wormwood.

The chierographon lists our sin-debt; it is not the Torah of Yahuah. Due to false teachings of the “fathers” (Catechetical School of Alexandria), we “have inherited only falsehood, futility, and there is no value in them.” YirmeYahu 16:19

This is how the new BYNV translates the Truth of Kolossians 2:14:

”having blotted-out the certificate of debt against us – by the dogmas – which stood against us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the stake.” 

This certificate of debt is the chierographon, meaning a hand-written list of accusations. It is a legal term, as used by a court prosecutor to list transgressions against an accused person. It literally means hand-writing.

Yahuah’s Torah is not hand-writing, but it is the everlasting Covenant He has declared will endure as long as Heaven and Earth endure (see YirmeYahu 31:36, 37, and Mt. 5:18).

GOT ORDAINED? (see 1 Korinthians 1:10, Jer./YirmeYahu 23:21-32)

  Christians are taught by men ordained by their denominations. The denominations are variations of Christianity as taught by former elders, and  according to their opinions. Ordination means someone is given orders, or an appointment to teach according to a specific teaching authority’s line of instruction.

It grants a person permission to teach within the orderly pattern of their sect.

The ordained is bound and obligated to defend their method of teaching within strict boundaries.

Many sects forbid their adherents to read outside materials or associate with other denominations.

  In their training they closely study the writings of men called church fathers who were headmasters at the Catechetical School of Alexandria (CSA).

It is also known as the Didascalia, and de l'Ecole d'Alexandrie. This school was founded about 190 CE by Pantaenus, although Eusebius (one of the headmasters in the 4th century) claims it was founded by Mark. This is quite impossible, since this school despised the Natsarim, the followers of Yahusha, labelling them heretics for guarding the Commandments as written, and for possessing Hebrew writings. One of their headmasters, Epiphanius, described the Natsarim as possessing the writings of MattithYahu in Hebrew lettering as it was originally written. Pastors today insist the first followers wrote everything in Greek.

The revising of history is nothing new.

Revising (altering) anything is a kind of wormwood, since the motive for doing so would have to be because the Truth is a bitter pill to swallow for those who hold tightly to men’s traditions.

Exposure to the Truth (the Light) is  abhorrent to interlopers posing as

messengers of Light.

What is the end of the entire matter?

 “Let us hear the conclusion of the entire matter:

Fear Alahim and guard His Commands, for this applies to all mankind!

For Alahim shall bring every work into right-ruling, including all that  

is hidden, whether good or evil.”  Eccl. 12:13, 14

If you learn a custom or ritual originates from pagan behavior, stay away from it.

Walk as Yahusha walked, and stay in His will at all times. He is always beside you to call on for help and strength to discern. You will hear Him say,

“This is the Way, walk in it.”
