Q) It says to work 6 days and rest on the 7th. I work on the Weekends. Can I still observe Sabbath by making my 7th day, Monday, a Sabbath day? Or do I need to quit my job?

A) Exodus, the thirty first chapter clearly explains that the Sabbath is not any seventh day BUT THE SEVENTH DAY! And Yahweh clearly states that ONLY His Sabbath should be kept as Holy time, not any day of the week that man

Exo 31:12 And YAHWEH spoke to Moses, saying,

Exo 31:13 And you speak to the sons of Israel, charging them, only My Sabbaths you shall keep; for it is a sign between Me and you for your generation; to know that I am YAHWEH your sanctifier.

Exo 31:14 And you shall keep the Sabbath, for it is holy for you; the profaners of it shall sure be executed; for everyone doing work in it, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of his people.

Exo 31:15 Work may be done six days, and on the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to YAHWEH; everyone doing work on the Sabbath day surely shall be put to death.

Exo 31:16 And the sons of Israel shall guard the Sabbath, to observe and do the Sabbath for their generations; it is a never ending covenant.

Exo 31:17 It is a sign forever between Me and the sons of Israel; for in six days YAHWEH made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.

The Sabbath goes back to creation week in which Yahweh named the 6 days of the week, day 1, day 2, etc., but the 7th day is “The Sabbath Day” indicating in Hebrew that it can only be one day, and the commandment is not just to rest on one day during the week, but to honor the 7th day Sabbath, which correlates to our Saturday, each week to be obedient and honor Yahweh as Creator of the universe.

Yahweh created the world in six days, and rested on the seventh day thus setting apart ONLY that day every seven days as holy and sanctified. It is interesting to note that for the last approximately 6,000 years since creation, that virtually every society on earth that ever existed always kept a seven-day week due to this fact; the day we know as Saturday is indeed the Biblical 7th day, from creation week. We have many booklets and sermons on-line about this subject. http://coyhwh.com/en/topics.php?topic=the_sabbath

Q) Deuteronomy 23:2 states: An illegitimate child shall not enter into the congregation of YAHWEH, even to the tenth generation none of his shall enter into the assembly of YAHWEH. Can you please answer how Deut 23:2 applies to the new covenant believer/ congregation?

A) When one is baptized you become a new creation and you are grafted into the one tree of You are now an Israelite. All sins at baptism have been fully paid for and forgiven, which makes all things become new. This was not the case with ancient Israel. No spirit-begotten child of Yahweh can be illegitimate.

Gal 3:26 for you are all sons of YAHWEH through faith in Messiah Yahshua.

Gal 3:27 For as many as were baptized into Messiah, you put on Messiah.

Gal 3:28 There cannot be Jew nor Aramean, there is no slave nor freeman, there is no male and female; for you are all one (echad), united in Messiah Yahshua.

Gal 3:29 And if you are of Messiah, then you are seeds of Abraham, even heirs according to the promise.

2nd Cor 5:16 So as we now know no one according to flesh, but even if we have known Messiah according to flesh, yet now we no longer know Him so.

2nd Cor 5:17 So that if anyone is in Messiah, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new!

2nd Cor 5:18 And all things are from YAHWEH, the One having reconciled us to Himself through Yahshua Messiah, and having given to us the ministry of reconciliation,

Q) Why does your translation use the letter ~j~ in names such as John~Joseph~Jacob~ if it is not used in Jesus? Didn’t the letter “j” come from the devil?

A) According to rules of grammar names are transliterated, not translated. In all Bibles, all names such as Moshe are transliterated as Moses, Yob is transliterated as Job, Yosef is transliterated as All names in all Bible translations are transliterated except two, the names of Yahshua and Yahweh; these names are changed to the names of Pagan deities.

The name of the Savior, which is Yahshua would be transliterated as Joshua, not Jesus, which comes from the masculine form of Iasa who was a Greek pagan deity of healing. The name “God” comes from the pagan Babylonian deity called “Gawd”. (See Isaiah 65:5 in any Interlinear Bible and concordance.)

Also, originally in English the letter “J” had a “Y” sound, and in German this still applies as Joel would be pronounced Yoel. Our Bible is translated in English, not Hebrew, so we use English rules of grammar in the translation. Out of respect for Yahweh, the Father and His only begotten Son Yahshua, we tried to keep Their names as closely transliterated to its original form.

Q) Who is the woman and her child in Revelation 12:1 and 2, and who is the remnant of her seed?

A) The book of Revelation is a figurative book in which some things could have a dual meaning. In the case of Rev 12:2, it actually has a dual meaning as when Yahshua was born, clearly the woman represented the virgin birth, and His ascension to

However, today the sign can either represent the woman as Israel, in which her seed would be believing Jews who come to faith in the end time. Or the woman can represent the congregation, and the seed left behind are the Laodiceans, who will have to go through tribulation.

Q) Can you explain who the Azazel goat is representative of in Leviticus the sixteenth chapter?

A) On the Day of Atonement 2 goats were selected for a sacrifice. One was slain for sin and the other one, Azazel, meaning scapegoat, was let loose. This goat that was the scapegoat for the sins of the people was let loose, away into the wilderness, It is the only living sacrifice in Scripture and shows that the 2 goats both represent the Messiah. The one was representative of the dying Messiah, and the other representative of the living, resurrected Messiah.
