138 Why are some people hell bent -

Why are some people hell-bent, even with knowledge of the truth?

Those of us who have been teaching Elohim’s people for more than ten years, often get despondent when we realize that either not all of those whom we taught understand the seriousness of our quest for the kingdom of Elohim, or they are hell-bent to self-destruct even with knowledge of the truth? Some left the churches of the world and have been playing ‘church’ in small groups or on their own so long, that they have totally forgotten the seriousness of our call to come out of the churches of the world to follow YHVH and His way.

It is similar to today’s youth culture that has gone mad, where there are no bounds to what young people will do any longer. Take for example body piercing: it has progressed from earrings for ladies, to earrings for men, to multiple piercing for both men and woman in literally every part of the body; the tongue, the nose, eyebrows, lips, cheeks, naval, breasts and even the things you do not want to know about. Tattooing, something that is specifically prohibited in the Scriptures (Leviticus 19: 28), is done in the same progression to the extremes. The forbidden are what attract people. They are so confused and rebellious that they even worship Satan. But that is not the end of these bizarre stories. There are those who are known as ‘bug-chasers’ who go all out to be infected with the AIDS virus. For them this is the ultimate sexual experience. Then there are the ‘self-mutilators’. These are young people who purposely cut their bodies with knives or razors to get relief from emotional conflict. Physical pain and the sight of oneself bleeding become solutions due to their ability to overpower the strength of those feelings. It usually begins with feelings of anger, pain or anxiety. When such an individual becomes overwhelmed with one of the emotions mentioned he/she will knock something over or throw an object against the wall or floor. If this does not help, such an individual will plunge his/her fist into a wall or closed window, or even bang his/her head against a wall. A self-mutilator is ashamed of the mental pain that he/she experiences and cannot describe the feeling to others. It seems that such a person has found that physical pain can be a cure for emotional pain.

What is the cause of today’s weird youth culture that has gone mad? The answer is found in Ephesians 6: 12, as follows: ‘For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.’ Mankind’s history is full of times and places, when something sweeps over a particular society. People are drawn to this something, as into a vacuum, into societies that have lost their way, and have listened to the voice of deceitful leaders and philosophies. We know that in the 1940’s an evil spirit swept over Germany, leading to terrible crimes against millions of Jews and other people who were considered undesirables. We have seen similar things happening in Africa during the past 10 – 20 years. We have also seen the spread of the maniacal jihad suicide cult that is attracting thousands of Muslims. The cause of all this is nothing other than peer pressure, going a bit further like a mass hypnosis, where large numbers of people adopt the same bizarre mindset, practices or beliefs at the same time. It is in fact the spiritual possession of society, considered ripe for rebellion against YHVH. It may almost be compared with the number of people who are today being called by YHVH to consider their so-called Hebrew roots, except that this is the exact opposite. It is in fact Satan who is the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience, as per Ephesians 2: 2. When I was young we used to say that cocktail parents have ducktail children. Immediately following the Second World War, our parents became more aware of recreational activities, than their parents ever were. They held fancy parties, serving the best of food and a variety of cocktails. Dancing, drinking and partying were the craze – to help them forget the horrors and shortages that the war caused. Some of those parents eventually became alcoholics and divorce was rampant during the fifties and sixties. We, their children grew up in the so-called ducktail era of the sixties. The rebellion that we see today is against the entire society or the children of the 1960’s, a time which birthed free sex, drugs and rock and roll.

There are no more heroes and even the elected leaders are criminals and/or sex-offenders. Not many westerners who have been around for some time can forget the escapades of Bill Clinton and his secretary a decade or so back. In South Africa, we have the likes of Jacob Zuma, who is alleged to have embezzled millions from the arms deal with a European nation, was accused of rape and built a luxury housing compound for him and his eight wives and many children using state money, even though he is only an elected official. These escapades of our ‘leaders’ have everything to do with the explosion of the sex and drug adventures in our schools in the western world. The lying politicians, our school system and society are responsible for what is happening to our children. Very little have changed - we are simply going from bad to worse. It reminds me of wise words written by a Greek slave and fable author Aesop who lived from 620 BC to 560 BC, stating: “We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.” Our children are rebelling and the insane hell-bent culture of today, are waiting in the wings to welcome them with open arms. What has arisen out of the pits of today’s world is the same ageless rebellious spirit now indwelling many people ‘freed’ from Elohim and His laws by Churchianity. Why might you ask? The same reason as always: So that they can be their own gods and make up their own rules. In the past, even if parents were imperfect or corrupt, their children still had a reasonable chance of growing up correctly, because the rest of society still more or less reflected Judeo-Christian values. The child could bond with a teacher, a minister of religion, a mentor or organization that could provide stability and a healthy direction. But, because of the corrupt, hell-bent society in which we live, if parents fail to guide and protect their children today, our youngsters get swallowed up by the child-molesting monster called culture.

So far we have spoken in the most about the young people of today. But what about the average citizen of South Africa, the United States of America or any other western nation? We read in Ezekiel 22: 26 about modern day Churchianity as follows: “Her priests have done violence to My law and have profaned My Set-apart things; they have made no distinction between the Set-apart and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they hide their eyes from My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.” Everything near and dear to our Father YHVH is being changed and profaned. Even in so-called Christian nations, you name a Torah command and the people will do the opposite. It is like when you tell a child not to smoke since it is detrimental to his/her health and he/she will go right ahead and start smoking. Almost everyone today wants to be the master of his own destiny. We do not want to be told what to do by anyone. We have become so self-reliant that we believe in ourselves, only. Our Father, who is the Creator of all that exists, made things like the Sabbath and kosher foods, specifically for us. However, humanity prefers to establish standards of their own. They have changed the Sabbath to either Friday or Sunday, depending on which so-called deity they follow (i.e. either Allah or Jesus). What about those of us who refer to ourselves Nazarene Jews/Israelites? Are we totally happy with following YHVH, or are we also making changes to reflect our superior intellect. There are groups of like-minded believers in the United States of America and here in South Africa, who are using the exact phases of the moon quoting the time of sunset, moonset, and conjunction around the time when the first crescent of the moon becomes visible every month and use such information to determine the timing of their Holy Day calendar. They believe this to be more correct than the Hebrew calendar ordained by Elohim in the Scriptures. A case in point is the Day of Atonement specified in Leviticus 23: 27, for example, we are told: “On exactly the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you, and you shall humble your souls and present and offering by fire to YHVH.” These folk insist that their calculations are far superior to that of the Hebrew calendar established when the Sanhedrin still existed many years ago.

However, the quoted section in Leviticus is essentially saying that the Day of Atonement can only be on one specific day of the year, and not when we want it to be. How many refuse to accept the Scriptural authority in both the Tanach and the renewed Covenant that Judah is Elohim’s lawgiver (in Psalms 60: 7 and Romans 3: 1 – 2). Instead many choose to put their own thumb print on things. They want to specify how and when to worship their G-d, despite Yahshua saying to us in John 5: 46 – 47, “For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote of Me. (47) But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?” Do we believe the word of Elohim, or are we contradicting our only Master as we are warned about in Jude 4, as follows: ‘For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our Elohim into licentiousness (permissiveness) and deny (contradict) our only Master and Adonai, Yahshua Messiah.’ The word deny here is translated from the Greek word ‘arneomai’ which can also mean ‘contradicting’. We are warned about dishonoring our Father’s name, by ensuring that we keep His Feast Days at the times ordained by Him through the Levites who are amongst the Jews in Malachi 2: 1 – 8[1]. Do we follow and obey what Yahshua taught and did whilst He was on earth, or not? We need to recall that Yahshua our Messiah was both circumcised and immersed when He was about 30 years of age. Do we follow His example, or do we say that it is not necessary any longer, like Churchianity does. We read Yahshua’s teachings when He expounded Torah to His disciples in Matthew 7: 21 – 24, saying: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. (22) Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Master, Master, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?’ (23) And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; ‘DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ (24) Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts upon them, may be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock.” The underlined section means that we should build our faith on Messiah, the Rock of our salvation, and not on Peter (Greek – Petros: meaning a stone), like the Roman Catholics and some Assemblies/congregations of YHVH and like-minded groups do, when they determine their own ‘more correct’ calendars to keep Elohim’s Feast Days.

Ask yourself: Do you listen to the word of YHVH (Yahshua), when He says that we should follow the Pharisees and do what they tell us to do, but not do according to their deeds in Matthew 23: 1 – 3, or do you contradict Him? When studying the Scriptures we will soon realize that Yahshua promised to return on Yom Teruah or the Feast of Trumpets one year in the near future. We see from a prophecy about the timing of His return in Zechariah 12: 9 - 14 that our Jewish Brothers will be in their synagogues on that important Day keeping Rosh Hashanah, with their ladies sitting separate from their men, as follows: “And it will come about in that day that I will set about to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. (10) And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him, like the bitter weeping over a first born. (11) In that day there will be great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the plain of Megiddo. (12) And the land will mourn, every family by itself; the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves; (13) the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves; (14) all the families that remain, every family by itself, and their wives by themselves.” The question we need to ask: are we also going to be celebrating the Feast of Trumpets on that very day, or will we keep it according to a calendar that is ‘more accurate’ than that of the Jews? Rav Shaul also remarked on this event where he tells us that in that day when Yahshua returns and our Jewish Brothers accept Him as their Messiah, the dead in Messiah will be resurrected in Romans 11: 15, saying: ‘For if their rejection be reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?’ Rav Shaul completes the picture for us in 1 Thessalonians 4: 13 – 16, saying: ‘But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope. (14) For if we believe that Yahshua died and rose again, even so Elohim will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Yahshua. (15) For this we say to you by the word of the Master, that we who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Master, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. (16) For the Master Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of Elohim; and the dead in Messiah shall rise first.’ After reading these Scriptural evidences in your own Scriptures, are you still in two minds about which calendar to follow?

It is true, this is something I taught recently, but, need I remind you that we as Nazarene Israelites learn by repetition as indeed all people do. That is why we read the annual Torah portions over yearly and also why we keep the Feast Days of YHVH our Elohim from year to year, until Yahshua our Messiah’s return to rule us from Jerusalem. I pray that even though most of us were taught and followed false doctrines for many years that we repent and return to full Torah observance. Let us follow the pattern that we were taught for many years i.e. do Torah, and then learn Torah. This is the lesson of tefillin: tefillin are bound on the left arm (since it is close to the heart) and then on the forehead. If we do it the other way round, we will try and work things out with our own intelligence, before we start doing it. The problem with most are that despite the fact that they call themselves Nazarene/Messianic or even Christian, they do not follow the one whose name they use, and obey His teachings. Many do not even know what sin is. An example is the idea of many in Churchianity thinks that the drinking of alcoholic beverages is sin. Yet in Deuteronomy 14: 26 we read (paraphrased), that we may spend our annual Festival Tithes at the Feast of Tabernacles, on whatever our heart desire; oxen, sheep, wine or strong drink. O yes, I may even buy double distilled Jameson Irish Whiskey, if I so desire. But, I don’t, since I prefer not to drink other than a little wine at the Passover and since my diabetic condition does not allow for it. Sin is the transgression of the Torah commands of YHVH. Drinking alcoholic beverages is not sin, unless we overdo it and get drunk. Drunkards and other sinners will not make it into the kingdom of Elohim, as we see in 1 Corinthians 6: 9 & 10, in this way: ‘Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of Elohim? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, (10) nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of Elohim.’ My point is: Do we have double standards. If we do, then our children will also have double standards. It is only by being a genuinely caring and loving parent, who does not compromise when it comes to the Torah of YHVH that we are giving our children the best chance possible to not follow every new craze or culture that is going around. This will also ensure their success and the blessings of YHVH as it says in Exodus 20: 6, as follows: “but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.”

But, let’s get to the reason why Churchianity and even some of the people that Elohim called out of the churches of the world, are going contrary to what our heavenly Father require of us in His word, the Scriptures. Initially Christianity was a counterfeit of Nazarene Judaism mentioned in Acts 24: 5 & 14, and people could not easily identify it as a counterfeit of the real thing. However, with the passing of time it became easy to identify it from the truth, by the many pagan practices, such as Xmas and Easter, which they adopted from pagan groups. Even so, Satan does not sleep and he has since Yahshua’s death, resurrection and ascension to heaven introduced other counterfeit religions, close to Nazarene Judaism, and as with Christianity, his overriding motive remains Anti-Semitism. These dear folk are doing a fantastic job; in that they preach for the remnant of the lost ten tribes to come out of the Babylonian false religion represented by Christianity. However, we need to be careful of those who lead people from one counterfeit into another, because of anti-Semitism. We know from the Scriptures that in the latter days, immediately prior to Messiah’s return, a remnant of the lost ten tribe nation of Israel, will again unite with Judah, as we read from Ezekiel 37: 15 – 28. Do these people not understand what Rav Shaul is saying in Romans 11? Yes, our Jewish Brothers are presently blinded to the identity of Yahshua, but few realize that YHVH has done the blinding to allow those of us from the lost ten tribes to return to the covenant He made with our forefathers, ancient Israel at Mount Sinai. It is for this reason that Rav Shaul writes in verses 25 – 29 of Romans 11, saying: ‘For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own estimation, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel (meaning Jewish Israel) until the fullness of the Gentiles (those of the lost ten tribes, who used to believe that they are Gentiles, plus a few real Gentiles) has come in; (26) and thus all Israel (both houses) will be saved; just as it is written, “THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB. (27) AND THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.”(28) From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of Elohim’s choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; (29) for the gifts and the calling of Elohim are irrevocable.’

Our Jewish brothers are the most hated and maligned people on the earth, yet YHVH says through Zachariah in verse 23 of Chapter 8, “Thus says YHVH of hosts, ‘In those days ten men from all the nations will grasp the garment of a Jew saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.’” Unless and until we the remnant of the lost ten tribes understand that the Jews have the Oracles as far as determining the timing of Elohim’s Feast Days (as we read from Romans 9: 4) – and unless we realize that even if the Jews were unfaithful, YHVH remains faithful and cannot lie. It is much like when they quote Yahshua’s words in Matthew 5: 17 – 19, stating that He did not come to abolish the Law and the Prophets, but to make it more binding, they never quote verse 20. As a Nazarene Israelites (or watchmen) we are according to Isaiah 58: 1, responsible to warn fellow believers, so that per chance those who are deceived by people who are so blinded by anti-Semitism, that they cannot understand what Rav Shaul wrote, be stirred to return to the way of Elohim, and put an end to their blatant anti-Semitism. We may argue as much as we want, but the Scriptures tell us that the Jews have the Oracles of Elohim. They preserved the Hebrew language, the Torah, including the Sabbath and annual Feast Days of YHVH for us – as well as the timing of these Set-apart Days. Yes, some of them did not believe, but their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of Elohim (as is recorded in Romans 3: 3 & 4). The problem is that these folk do not ever read or quote verses 3 & 4.We see that YHVH is pleased with the Feast Days that they keep in Nahum 1: 15, as follows: ‘Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who announces peace! “Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; Pay your vows. For never again will the wicked one pass through you; He is cut off completely.”’ We need to make sure that we do not twist the Scriptures to suit our own agenda, as we read in 2 Timothy 2: 15, ‘Be diligent (use your time to study) to present yourself approved to Elohim as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth.’ We read about the coming Day of YHVH from 2 Thessalonians 2: 3, in this way: ‘Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction.’ Don’t let people lie to you about what sin is. Sin is the transgression of the law or lawlessness, as may be seen in 1 John 3: 4. Despite this Churchianity teaches heresies such as:

“Just believe and you will be saved.” – Yet in James 2: 24 we read: ‘You see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone.’ O, yes we are saved by grace, but we prove our love to our Father, by keeping His commandments as Rav Yochanan wrote in 1 John 5: 2 & 3, saying: ‘By this we know that we love the children of Elohim, when we love Elohim and observe His commandments. (3) For this is the love of Elohim, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.’
‘The commandments were nailed to the cross.’ – Yet in Colossians 2: 14 we read: ‘having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us and which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.’ It was not the law that was nailed to the cross, but our certificate of debt, that was nailed to the cross.
‘YHVH knows what I mean when I call him by names like G-d.’ In Exodus 23: 13 we read: “Now concerning everything which I have said to you, be on your guard; and do not mention the name of other gods, nor let them be heard from your mouth.” We also read from Isaiah 52: 6, “Therefore My people shall know My name; therefore in that day I am the one who is speaking, ‘Here I am.’”

We read from Romans 8: 2, ‘For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yahshua has set you free from the law of sin and death.’ Yes, Yahshua set us free from the penalty of sin, which is eternal death, but He definitely did not abolish the Torah, since it can never be abolished, as Rav Shaul wrote in the first part of Romans 7: 14, saying: ‘For we know that the Law is spiritual.’ Being made free from sin, we have become servants of righteousness, as we read in Romans 6: 18, ‘and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.’ Yes, my fellow believer, we establish the law through faith, as we read in Romans 3: 31, in this way: ‘Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.’ In Galatians 4: 3 we read: ‘So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world.’ This does not say ‘in bondage under the law’ or does it? When we read in the second part of Galatians 4: 9 ‘turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?’ It shows clearly that this does not mean the Torah, but the lifestyle that we followed before coming into the truth. The Laws of Elohim and the penalty that we earn by breaking the Law, i.e. sin and death are two different things. We read accordingly in Galatians 3: 13 “Messiah redeemed us from the curse (penalty) of the Law, having become a curse for us – for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.’” We have been made free from the penalty of the Law. Yes, the Torah of YHVH is for us and is to be used to bring us to life through Yahshua our Messiah. If we now read Colossians 2: 20 – 22 we understand it much better: ‘If you have died with Messiah to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as, (21) “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!” (22) (which all refer to things destined to perish with the using) – in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men?’ If we are immersed in Messiah Yahshua’s name, we have died with Him to the elementary principles of the world. In addition we see in verse 22 that verse 21 is not talking about the Torah, which tells us not to touch the unclean. Verse 21 is talking about manmade laws of some groups; who insist that we should only eat fish, instead of meat on Fridays and laws which forbid priests to marry.

There is a lot of talk about ‘state capture’ in South Africa, since a major portion of the members of the ruling party have been ‘captured’ or more correctly bribed to do according to the dictates of a now well-known family that recently moved here from India. However, the house of Israel has similarly been held captive for the past 1800 years by Esau or more specifically the Roman Catholic Church and her Christian daughters. The problem with Churchianity is that Satan has deceived the whole world, and very few people are truly aware of our captivity. It is also for this reason that Yahshua advised Yochanan who wrote down the visions Yahshua showed him in the book of Revelation and specifically in Revelation 18: 4 & 5 saying: “Come out of her, my people, that you may not participate in her sins and that you may not receive of her plagues; (5) for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and Elohim has remembered her iniquities.” We need to keep the commandments of YHVH and believe that Yahshua made us free from the penalty of breaking the commandments in the past, by dying in our place on His execution tree. We further read Rav Shaul’s advice to believers in Romans 2: 13 and 23, saying: ‘For not the hearers of the Law are just before Elohim, but the doers of the Law will be justified.’ (23) ‘You who boast in the Law, through your breaking the Law, do you dishonor Elohim?’ Are those who teach people to keep feasts according to calendars of their own design[2] or pagan[3] festivals, not dishonoring YHVH our Elohim? Let us therefore strive to fulfill the requirements of the law, as is recorded in Romans 8: 4, ‘in order that the requirements of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.’

Let us also with renewed zeal study and apply Torah in accordance with the way Yahshua taught and lived and as preserved for us by our Jewish Brothers, so that we may not be easily deceived, as Rav Shaul inspired us in Ephesians 4: 14, saying: ‘As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming.’ But, most of all let us heed Rav Shaul’s warning in Hebrews 10: 23 – 28, as follows: ‘Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; (24) and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, (25) not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the day drawing near. (26) For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, (27) but a certain terrifying expectation of judgment, and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES. (28) Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ Think carefully about it!

[1] Malachi 2: 1 – 8: “And now, this commandment is for you, O priests. If you do not listen, and if you do not take it to heart to give honor to My name, says YHVH of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; and indeed, I have cursed them already, because you are not taking it to heart. Behold, I am going to rebuke your offspring, and I will spread refuse on your faces, the refuse of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it. Then you will know that I have sent this commandment to you, that My covenant may continue with Levi, says YHVH of hosts. My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave them to him as an object of reverence; so he revered Me, and stood in awe of My name. True instruction was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found on his lips; he walked with Me in peace and uprightness and he turned many back from iniquity. For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge and men should seek instruction from his mouth; for he is the messenger of YHVH of hosts. But as for you, you have turned aside from the way; you have caused many to stumble by the instruction, you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says YHVH of hosts.”
