In virtually every Jewish or Hebrew social media group you’ll see these religious holy rollers who think they are God’s gifted know-it-all all bible scholars given to mankind……<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

And then I show up!!! I am the only one, a person of color, who has a legitimate S’mekhah from Jerusalem, I’m not black American, My family literally comes from Mt Carmel Pre-1948 Palestine, I don’t sound like any of these people or their leaders, I don’t teach what they teach, believe how they believe or live as they live, and you know what. They all shut up when I speak because when I speak, I speak with a prophetic authority that is only read about in Bibles and Sacred scriptures(that actually are nothing more than super-hero comic entertainment in the subconscious minds of the average holy roller and bible thumper, to be honest)… They don’t know what to do with that….<\/span><\/p>\n

And you know what?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
That is a good thing because sometimes you just have to:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Yaakob(aka James) 1:19 So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath,<\/em><\/div>\n
Jas 1:20 for the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of Elohim.<\/em><\/div>\n
Jas 1:21 Therefore put away all filthiness and overflow of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted Word,1 which is able to save your lives.”<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\nEverything I teach is both prophetically Torah authoritative & redemptive in nature, and those who follow what I teach & adhere to them will prosper in the same manner that I prosper. The rest who may object, even in silence, well……Sometimes prosperity cannot raise a “poverty of mind” to the level required to receive the promises of Yahwah Elah and his riches in heaven that is poured down upon those of us who are prepared to receive them here on earth…..<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Many of you were raised and taught to have a poverty of mind and many of you will die in that same poverty if you don’t stop elevating the traditions of man(aka statutes) above the Edenic Laws of Yahwah(aka Covenant Constitutional Command) to the point that your religious beliefs have no redemptive nature, purpose or impact in the areas of the world that actually need a redemptive message and solution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
At the same time, most bible thumpers know when to back down & not end up in a situation with someone who has a much bigger arsenal of knowledge, wisdom, and prophetic disposition, that can easily make them look like fools, especially when they know that their belief systems and attitudes are not truly in alignment with Torah principles and spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And I have to be honest, I do not like battling the wits with an unarmed person, because it’s just not fair…..and it causes more harm than it does good. So it’s best to just respect the ORDER AND AUTHORITY established by the Torah when a Rabbi-Cohen shows up and speaks, even if you don’t understand what is being said or it contradicts what you’re used to believing because to rise up against one who fulfills a Torah Covenant Constitutional position of authority can and will lead to the perpetrator suffering “Karet” and being cut off from the Eternal Covenant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Deut 17:8 \u201cWhen any matter arises which is too hard for you to judge, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, or between stroke and stroke \u2013 matters of strife within your gates \u2013 then you shall rise and go up to the place which \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 your Elohim chooses,<\/em><\/div>\n
Deu 17:9 and shall come to the priests, the L\u0115wites, and to the judge who is in those days, and shall inquire. And they shall declare to you the word of right-ruling,<\/em><\/div>\n
Deu 17:10 and you shall do according to the word which they declare to you from that place which \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 chooses. And you shall guard to do according to all that they instruct you.<\/em><\/div>\n
Deu 17:11 \u201cDo according to the Torah in which they teach you, according to the right-ruling which they say to you. You do not turn to the right or to the left from the word which they declare to you.<\/em><\/div>\n
Deu 17:12 \u201cAnd the man who acts arrogantly, so as not to listen to the priest who stands to serve there before \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 your Elohim, or to the judge, that man shall die(or suffer Karet, to be cut off). So you shall purge the evil from Yisra\u2019\u0115l.<\/em><\/div>\n
Deu 17:13 \u201cAnd let all the people hear and fear, and no longer do arrogantly.”<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\nWhen you’re able to bridle your tongue, back down & have learned how to show discipline, integrity & Wisdom when in the presence of a Rabbi Cohen(Chief Levitical Priest), and especially when your beliefs and traditions are challenged in a Torah-based way that you are just not used to, then that is a reflection of spiritual & cultural evolution, development, good character & maturity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Immature, spiritual toddlers & infants are the ones who throw tantrums when things don’t go their way(we call it the “play hurt syndrome”, and that is because they’ve never been disciplined, chastised, and trained up in the way they should go, by legitimate, anointed & biological Levitical Priests of Israel, and have not evolved to the proper level to where they can receive knowledge and understand discipline, humbly and meekly. Like spoiled brats and out-of-control kids in their terrible twos, they respond, interact, and behave like hot-heads in social media groups and when amongst others. They want it their way or no way at all to the point they’ll try character assassination, gang-ups, dis-fellowships, blocking, banning, talebearing,& everything they can to try to shut down others who don’t think, act, talk, believe, or behave like themselves… And they’ll blindly and foolishly run right into someone like me, a Jerusalem Rabbi-Cohen, & blatantly violate the ORDER and Authority(Honoring the Mothers and Fathers aka authority figures) Covenant mandates, even as described in the sacred Dead Sea Scrolls Halachic Scriptures, and find themselves losing their entire relationship with Yahwah Elah, and ultimately suffering Karet….<\/p>\n

This is the 1st death, which is spiritual & that always comes before the 2nd death which is physical.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\nSo it has to be understood, that you can have Rabbis, Morehs, Ro’ehs (Pastors), Elders, Bishops, Maggids, Apostles\/Shaliachs, etc., the bottom line is that according to the Torah, only Levitical Priests and appointed Shophetim(Judges) have Halachic authority, and even with Judges, they cannot exist unless appointed by a Rabbi Cohen and Levitical Priesthood(the Legislative branch of the Torah\/Knesset)…. No other socio-spiritual office can give legitimate halacha unless appointed by the legislative Levitical Priestly branch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And that in and of itself is Halacha, regardless of how long certain positions have been at the forefront of leadership amongst our people. Whether 200 years or 2000 years, the Torah makes clear who has legitimate foundational halachic authority…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
As a Rabbi Cohen, I will continue to challenge and confront many of the teachings that are improperly taught by religious groups as it relate to the Torah, Hebrew culture, and Judaism, including long-standing traditions established under the guise of halacha, and I expect many spiritually immature and spiritually stunted peoples who lack character, discipline, integrity, and wisdom to put themselves into positions to suffer karet due to their own arrogance, presumptuousness, and folly. I only expect a remnant, and that is why I never set myself up with expectations that are doomed to fail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Just remember:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Deut 12:8 \u201cDo not do as we are doing here today \u2013 each one doing whatever is right in his own eyes.”<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
&<\/div>\n
Habakkuk 2:4 \u201cSee, he whose being is not upright in him is puffed up. But the righteous one lives by his steadfastness.”<\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Let the humble, meek & those who walk in the Spirit of Chockimah, hear and learn.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
