Hmmmm... very insightful... makes me think more deeply about this "office of man" issue... and the power of that office as an agent-priest of the Most High (Rev 5:9-10) called in this generation...

Thanks Michael Joseph!
No, thank you for your dogged approach - iron sharpens iron.

2Ch 7:14 If My People, upon whom My name is called, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

The Famine is on....

Amo 8:10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make the land as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

[MJ's comments the foregoing did not say Yehovah's Feasts - for man has all but left off from those in his own pride]

Amo 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith Yehovah Elohim, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of Yehovah:

Amo 8:12 And they shall go staggering from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

Amo 8:13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.

Amo 8:14 They that swear by the guilt of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The mode of worship of Beer-sheba liveth; even they that swear shall fall, and never rise up again.

Hos 4:6 My People are laid prostrate for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge [of Me], I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to Me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy sons.

Hos 4:7 As they were increased, so they sinned against Me: My glory have they changed into shame.

[MJ's comment: Notice the People have changed Yehovah's Glory into shame - by their shameful statements that the Law or the HEART of El Elyon is no more. Yehoshuah IS the Word - consider what that means when one attempts to nullify The Word - the Word was made in the Express Image of El Elyon. To turn away from the PERFECT way of Yehovah is akin to blasphemy for it denies the Sovereignty of our Creator. ]

Footnote on v.7

therefore will I change their glory into shame. The Sopherim confess that they altered thus the primitive Hebrew text: which read "My glory have they changed into shame": i. e. they altered the verb hemiru (they have changed) to 'amir (I shall change); and, kebodi (My glory) to kebodam (their glory). This alteration was made from a mistaken reverence. It will be seen that the word "therefore" is not required.


Consider that Abraham is thought to be the greatest patriarch BUT he tithed to Melchizedok! How great was this one Melchizedok who walked as a Priest unto El Elyon [the Most High].

Look again at verse Hosea 4:6 - BECAUSE thou hast forsaken my law thou shall be no priest unto me. Israel is called to be a Kingdom of Priests. Back then a bloodline today a Unity in Spirit - a Commonwealth in Spirit.

Psa 100:3 Know ye that Yehovah He is Elohim: It is He That hath made us, and not we ourselves; We are His People, and the sheep of His pasture.

Psa 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in one!


IN TRUST we many become ONE. IN the "Commonwealth of Israel" the many members work together as ONE BODY with Yehoshuah at its Head. This is the Temple - Living Stones. Whereby the Example of "The Light" pours forth from the life of one who submits wholly to be led [Administration] by the Holy Spirit.

For if you notice Jesus laid down ALL OF HIS POWERS - then he descended into this Earth realm. He was only able to do what He did thru Faith in the Power of God - but not of His own power. He showed us HOW to keep the Law which is to say HOW TO be a Priest unto El Elyon in this Earth.

I trust you realize that I have left off from the milk of salvation. Let us press on toward a Heavenly Estate - not a meager one which will be the inheritance of one who dismisses the Law - but a GREAT one of one who uphold the Law of Yehovah and meets out said Law in Mercy in Honor to El Shaddai.

Rev 15:2 And I saw as it were a glassy sea mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having ... harps of God.

Rev 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are Thy works, O Lord God The Almighty; just and true are Thy ways, Thou King of nations.

Doug you will notice that if you study the Hebrew Adam is not a name but it merely means mankind. However the one who was Son of God [loosly termed Adam] in Hebrew he was called Eth Ha Aw-dawm. So you might say emphatically he was THE MAN. Now we see that Jesus Christ came out of his loins so more properly He would be called "Son of [the] Man" - I speak to DNA. For there was indeed a "Holy Seed" in the Earth - and this is hidden from most Christians because they refuse to read the front of the book.

Isa 65:9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.

Now we have a problem, because only Levi was to be the Priesthood - but we see a GREATER priesthood NOT established by lineage of men -

Psa 110:1 The LORD [Jehovah] said unto my Lord [the Messiah], "Sit Thou at My right hand, Until I set Thine enemies as a footstool for Thy feet."

Psa 110:2 The LORD shall send the rod of Thy strength out of Zion: Rule Thou in the midst of Thine enemies.

Psa 110:3 Thy People shall offer themselves for voluntary offerings, in the day that Thou warrest, In the holy mountains as the dew from the womb before the morning I have begotten thee a son:

Psa 110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.

Consider the Government of El Elyon's Kingdom. And how DARE anyone say that our King is absent Law?

Consider the GREAT PROMISE given to the Sons of Zadok - Priesthood to be instituted into the Eternity.

Eze 44:15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of My sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near to Me to minister unto Me, and they shall stand before Me to bring near unto Me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:

Eze 44:16 They shall enter into My sanctuary, and they shall come near to My table, to minister unto Me, and they shall keep My charge.

Eze 44:17 And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and toward the house.

Eze 44:18 They shall have linen turbans upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; and they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.

Eze 44:19 And when they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the People, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy storerooms, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the People with their garments.

Eze 44:20 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall surely clip their heads.

Eze 44:21 Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.

Eze 44:22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.

Eze 44:23 And they shall teach My People the difference between the holy and common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

Eze 44:24 And in strife they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to My judgments: and they shall keep My laws and My statutes in all Mine appointed seasons; and they shall hallow My sabbaths.

Man's feast days are on the way out! There will be no more Easter, Valentines, Lent, Christmas, Thanksgiving, or any other such non-sense. Remember the Great Book of Amos!

Amo 8:10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make the land as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

2Ch 7:14 If My People, upon whom My name is called, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Shalom,
Michael Joseph
