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
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
“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.
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.

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.”
