Let me give you the
following testimony of my
prophetic journey from 2007
to 2009 so you understand
why it is so important to
support those who are
revealing ancient truths in
the Torah without
sugar-coating fundamental
principles as revealed in
the plain language of the
scriptures. Be sure to
read "Introduction:
What is a Prophetic Journey?"
first.
The centers I opened were a
testimony by Y-H-V-H at
that timeagainst the
"leaders" of the local
congregations and churches
who claim to
follow the Jewish Moshiach,
Yeshua of Nazareth.
The Ruach HaKodesh (Holy
Spirit) revealed that the
"leaders" of these
messianic congregations were
participants of bearing
false witness, men of
hypocrisy and men who lacked
understanding the principles
of justice as required by the
Torah. It was revealed
that the "leaders" of the
churches had no interest in
discovering their Hebraic
roots and delivering
themselves from pagan
Christianity; for they were
exposed to flyers and radio
broadcasts. Abba may have
corrected the "leaders" of
the assemblies by now, or
they may even today
continue to walk in their
error or transgressions.
For 24 months I believe
Y-a-h-uah E-l-ohim provided
for me to open two outreach
centers for teaching the
scriptures in the Torah.
The first facility at
specifically 2,600 square
feet was located in Spokane,
WA. After closing the
first one after 13 months, I
opened a second facility at
approximately 400 square
feet located in Priest
River, Idaho. After 11
months I had to close this
one. I believe there
was a purpose behind this
due to the sequence of events
and Sod level road-signs
that I believe was given to
me by the Ruach HaKodesh.
I will share some of this in
the following paragraphs.

I had to close the outreach
centers due to a lack
of financial support from
the local community that
professed to follow the
Jewish Messiah,
Yeshua HaMashiach. It
is my insight that the lack of
financial support was the result
of two key reasons: First, the
bearing of false witness
among the local assemblies; and
second, the lack of
wholehearted commitment to
support others in the Body by
those who say they follow the
Yeshua HaMashiach.
My
efforts with the centers
would have been a waste of
time if it were not for the
powerful Sod level
road-signs that I believe
were a leading of the Ruach
HaKodesh. It seems as
though a testimony was to be
accomplished by the mere
presence of the centers
among those who claim to
follow the Jewish Messiah,
Yeshua HaMashiach. I
believe strongly that it was Ya-h-uah E-l-ohim's Will to
have these centers open for
only a season. I will
testify shortly.
I used a small portion of
blessings I received from
Ya-h-uah E-l-ohim as an
ancestral inheritance after
Yom Teruah in 2006
to open the facilities.
Combined, I estimate it took
about approximately $32,000
to set-up, open and close
the centers. In two
years, only about $1,000 in
support was received.
Why? Here is my
testimony.
In these last days before
return of the Jewish
Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach,
there is a restoration of
fundamental truths in Torah
to prepare the Bride for His
arrival. There is a
social order in the creation
that is testified by the
plain express words of the
Torah that many are unable
to handle because it effects
them personally and
emotionally. I see
those who claim to teach the
Torah sugar-coat fundamental
principles of the Torah or
avoid controversial issues
altogether. They may
even have an over-reliance
on the Rabbis whom Yeshua,
in part,
denounced. I do not
sugar-coat fundamental
principles of the Torah due
to pressures of politics,
social norms and/or
relationships, financial
needs, tradition or just
plain lack of knowledge of
fundamental principles of
the Torah.
Therefore, few can hear the
words of the Torah as they
are expressly opened up by a
witness of the plain
language presented in the
scriptures.

A
Jewish Celebration
I symbolically compare my
experience with both the
centers to Ezekiel's 390
days (13 Months) of burning
cow dung as a testimony
against the House of Israel
in Ezekiel Chapter 4.
The first center was
occupied for 13 months; the
lease was one year and I
needed an extra month to
move out. The second
center was leased for 12
months and I had to leave
one month early making it an
11 month testimony.
Keeping the first outreach center
open for 13 months was like burning cow
dung due to the lack of
participation and support
from a community who profess
to believe in the Jewish
Messiah. The first
center was located in the
midst of many churches and a
few Messianic congregations.
The second center was
located right next to
a Messianic congregation;
this was also burning cow dung.
Not one person who is supposed
to share the Hebraic roots of
the faith visited the center
from the assembly located next
door due to the bearing of false
witness by it's "leader."
Instead of viewing the new
center as a facility to enhance
and strengthen the community, it
was viewed as enemy territory.
If you attend a Messianic
congregation you will learn that
as former Christians or Jews,
there is only a certain level of
truth in the Torah most are able handle before it is no
longer bearable to the 20th
century mind that is only
beginning to understand the
ancient paths of our
forefathers. Spoiled
by pagan Christianity and
Rabbinic Judaism many are
unable to handle the
teachings of the Torah as
Moses and Messiah presented
it.
If you can imagine, burning
cow dung for over a year to
bake bread for your daily
meal is disheartening.
When the first facility
opened, the multi-media
center in Spokane was
available 12 hours a day, 7
days a week to teach and
discuss the scriptures for
free. The negligible
participation was very
disheartening. I
reduced the facility hours
little by little.
Based on my observation of
other groups involved in the
restoration of Hebraic roots
in the Spokane area, this
facility was the most well
equipped and largest
available to those seeking
their Hebraic roots and
interested in restoration of
truth in the Torah.
Yet, there was little
support.
In principle, a Torah outreach
center has to be supported by a
community of people. In
this case, locally and/or the
online community. The
outreach effort should be
supported by the purity of the
hearts of the individuals
involved and not by social and
political interests or
exceptional marketing/sales
techniques.
At this time, select
furnishings from my original
centers in Spokane and Priest
River are preserved for such a
time as E-l-ohim allows its
re-use. I still keep and
maintain all resources from the
center's library and much of
that information is available
here online.
Let me share with you very
quickly in summary some
of the road signs that occurred
with the first center. I
can't share them all with more
detail due to the time and space
it will take to testify.
I'll give you some quick and
relevant highlights. You
may invite me to your place of
meeting if you want a detailed
personal testimony.
It
happened beyond my control; the
first day the center was
available to open was on
Shavuot. The date was
determined by the landlord
irrespective of my intentions to
occupy.
The address of the facility was
1508 and 1506 North Monroe.
These numbers were posted on the
two doors for entrance to the
suites. I discovered after
laying out the center that it
symbolically reflected the
layout for the Tent of Meeting.
This was unintentional on my
part. I later learned that
the two hangings for the gate of
the Tent of meeting was 15
cubits each. This is
symbolically represented by the
two 15's in the address.
The 8 and the 6 in the address
together is 86 and that is the
gematria value for E-l-ohim in
Hebrew.
On the right and left of the two
doorways to the suite were two
curtain rods measuring 144
inches each. This is
symbolic of the 144,000.
The first set of curtain rods I
purchased was too short so I had
to return them to purchase a
more expensive second pair that
turned out to be 144 inches
long. This was the
designated measure of the rods
on the product description.
The center was designated at
2,600 square feet in the lease
agreement. The number 26
is the gematria value for
Y-a-huah.
Therefore, in combination, the
address on the two doors (1508 &
1506), the square footage (2,600
sq ft) of the facility and the
length of the curtain rods (144
inches) symbolized the
Tabernacle of Y-a-huah E-l-ohim
flanked by the 144,000.
I had an approximate 5 foot tall
iron Menorah to the left side of
the suite. Similarly you
would have seen the Menorah in
the Tent of Meeting on the left
side when entering the Tent of
Meeting. According to
Jewish reference sources, the
Menorah that was lit after Judah
Maccabee took back the temple
was made of iron. The iron
Menorah was not purchased but
was placed in my hands.
There are other elements in the
layout that will be too long to
present here.
These are some key Sod level
road-signs that show the hand of
Ya-h-uah E-l-ohim in the opening
of the center. It is too
bad the center was rejected by
the local community of those who
say they follow the Jewish
Messiah. If you are one
who has entered a Sod level walk
with Abba, you will understand
the significance of this
testimony. You will not
understand its significance if
you are not walking in Spirit
and Truth. You must be
taught more.
Would it have taken much to keep
the facilities open? No
not at all.
It
would have only taken 100
individuals who say they follow
א-ל-והים
(E-l-ohim ٠ G-d) of אברהם (Avraham
٠ Abraham),
יצחק (Yitzhak ٠ Isaac) and
יעקב
(Ya'acov ٠ Jacob) to donate
$50 each to keep the outreach in
Priest River open. Yet,
among the potential thousands
possibly reached by a
fundraising effort from January
through March 2009, only $990
less $30 in minor transaction
costs was received. I
needed a total of $7,052.80 to
keep the facility for another
year without the use of family
funds.
I did not seek to raise funds
for the center in Spokane,
however, many Churches,
Christian organizations and
select Messianic congregations
were aware of its presence.
The lease was $1,000 a month and
could have been easily supported
by a small population of those
who profess to believe in the
Jewish Messiah. The
facility was one of a kind for
its location.
Now, let me share a little more
detail on the closing of the
center in Priest River.
The opening of the center is
irrelevant for this part of the
testimony.
It is my insight that the
closing of the facility was a
prophetic journey and testimony.
The following is a short summary that includes only
relevant information for the
public. Other parts of the
testimony will have to remain
private due to the location of a
Messianic congregation next door
to the outreach.
The closing of the outreach
in Priest River occurred during
the prophetic season of
Purim, and right before
Pesach. It is my
observation that my Exodus
from the suite in Priest
River symbolically paralleled the Exodus
of Israel from Egypt and
Israel's fight for life
against the wicked Haman
during the season of Purim.
Just as Israel was forced to
leave Egypt, I was forced to leave one
month earlier than our
planned date at the end of
April 2009 which is after
Passover. During this
time, I made a fundraising
effort to keep the facility open
for the next year. If
insufficient funds were
received, it was my plan to
close the center at the end
of April 2009. This forced
Exodus by the landlord was on a short notice
and to my great surprise.
It created unnecessary
pressure to move quickly and
I had to drastically change
my planning.
Carefully consider the
following.
Although the lease was paid
through April 2009 when it
ends, the
owner forced me out of
the suite one month early because the March
payment was approximately 10
days later than the final
due date. The lease
payment for March 2009 was made in
the middle of the month as
usual for almost all prior
months. There was no
complaint ever received from the
landlord/owner for payments
prior to March 2009.
Suddenly, the owner, in a
very aggressive, forceful and
threatening manner determined
that I had to move out by March
31st. I also became aware
that there was someone waiting
to occupy the suite and willing
to sign a longer term lease.
When I signed the
lease, I made a first and last
month rental payment in
addition to a security deposit.
The last month rent could have
actually covered the March 2009
payment and the security deposit
could have covered the final
April 2009 payment. Upon
receipt of the March 2009
payment the owner had an extra
two months of rent beyond the
one year term and still was
determined to force me out of
the suite one month early- may be
in fear that I might renew the
contract for another year.
I will note again, the course of business conducted
with the property manager, an
agent for the owner, was such
that I usually paid towards the
middle of the month. The
payment was always accepted
without any complaint or past
due fines, although the payments
were technically, approximately
10
days later than the final due date.
It is usual and customary
practice by banks, landlords,
insurance companies, financial
institutions, etc. to allow a
customer to pay past the due
date, but often will charge a
minimal fine. As long as
the customer shows a willingness
and ability to pay, there are no
additional penalties.
The unusual
case here in March 2009 was
that the owner used this
specific late
payment instance as a technical
reason to force us out and made
him feel justified and
righteous. He made threats
to move our furnishings out
forcefully if I didn't comply.
Obviously this would have caused
additional expense and damage to property and this owner knew
that.
It is my strong insight
that
Abba's hand was involved on this
occasion in light of other signs
and events that paralleled these
events. The insight
in one dimension of this
prophetic walk that I can share
publicly is Y-H-V-H was
showing me
a picture of Haman and
Pharaoh going after Israel
to kill unjustly, although
both Haman and Pharaoh, in their
own minds, legally
justified themselves.
History has proven time and
again, that those committing
crimes against others, often
justify themselves according to
the legal standards they use to
feel righteous.
Seeing what I believed to be the Will of Ya-h-uah
E-l-ohim for me to move, I responded
quickly to move out.
As a result of key not-by-chance sequence of
events that occurred, it is
my testimony that Ya-h-uah
E-l-ohim allowed the center
in Priest River to be closed
after 11 months. Eleven is
the number of testimony in
scripture. My strong
insight is that Y-H-V-H directed
this testimony towards the
Messianic congregation next
door, the landlord and the
believing community of Priest
River. I was
blessed with an additional
ancestral inheritance just at
the right time from Ya-h-uah
E-l-ohim to bear the
expenses of moving.
Thanks to a few donators, their
donations helped pay for a
couple months of rent. My
strong insight is Y-H-V-H gave me a picture
that His people rejected
what He had made available
for them to bless them.
It was an eleven
month testimony
spoken by the mere presence
of the Torah outreach
center.
Again, there is much more to
tell in this testimony but for
public purposes, I am limiting
it to what is written on this
page. The subsequent
consequences of these events for
the recipients of this testimony
only Y-H-V-H knows, and I await to find out.
