Statement of Faith


I believe in the name of Yahshua, for the in the name of Yahshua you have the name of the Creator, Yah, and what the Creator does for us liberate, offer freedom and deliverance, shuva (o[wv.) Yahshua is a combination of the two Hebrew words Yah (3068) and shuva (either 3047 or 7768). Only YHWH can liberate us, from ourselves and from the adversary. Proverbs 20:22. There are plenty of other verses in the Old Testament that show us that there is liberty in the name of YHWH.

There are many stories of Yahshua in the lives of people mentioned in the Old Testament. The first one is Abel and Cain. It is believed by some that Cain and Abel were twins and like most twins and first and second born siblings, the second born is the one chosen by the Creator for greatness. Could it be more than a coincidence that that is the design, a message for us? That Yahshua has an elder brother, Lucifer, who is jealous of him, and so wishes him to be dead.

Here is something peculiar, Abel means vain and Cain means spear. Vain could be a reference to sin and spear could be a reference to the spear that pierces the side of Yahshua upon his death to them that he was dead. Though Abel was righteous (Matt 23:35) he was also vain and so he had to die, so Yahshua was righteous and he took upon himself our sins, so he had to die and a spear was used to show us that he was dead.

Another type of Yahshua pair is Moses and Joshua (Yahshua). Moses represents the first coming of the Messiah, where he rescues us by his death, but he could not take us into the Promised Land, Heaven. Moses means rescued. It is Joshua, who shares the same name as the Messiah in the New Testament, who can take us into liberty in the Promised Land, Heaven.

This is all to say that His name is really not Jesus, but it is Yahshua or at least Joshua.
