WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO _AFFLICT OUR SOULS_ ON THE DAY OF ATONEMENT · truthunedited

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I need to briefly discuss something as it has provoked
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: controversy that was not intended. In part 16 of my
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Torah series, I made a correction about the word Anah
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: and the topic about afflicting our souls. In this, I
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: was explaining my point of correction, but I failed to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: recognize how deeply it would affect people and it was
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: a miscalculation on my part. This is one reason why
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: my videos tend to be long because things that seem
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to be simple tend to need to be discussed in depth.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: And again, that was my miscalculation. And so I would
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: like to provide more explanation on this topic. Let me
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: first say that I'm not speaking against fasting. And please,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: if it is in your heart to fast, then there
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: is no controversy in this. If you fear that you
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: should fast, then at no time should you use my
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: explanation to discourage you against fasting.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: That was not my intent.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Let me clarify that my explanation was about the Day
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: of Atonement and what the day is actually about. And ironically,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I believe that the controversy actually highlights the reason for
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the correction that I was making. People tend to want
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: to fight about things that don't need to be fought
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: about and they create division on things when there is
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: no reason for it. It is my desire to bring
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: hearts back to Yahuwah and make him the point of emphasis.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: As I read the scriptures and as I read the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: errors of Israel, the problem has always gone back to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the hearts of the people. People can be so consumed
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: with rules and traditions that they forget and sometimes ignore
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: what it is that Yahuwah actually desires from us. And
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: my correction was in regards to this. Our people were
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: always out of line with Yahuwah because they never circumcised
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: their hearts and corrected their ways. Because of this, we
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: have gone through an extreme amount of correction that should
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: have humbled us severely. And unfortunately, I do not believe
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: that this humbling has truly touched everyone's hearts the same way.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: My correction about afflicting our souls was not about whether
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: we are to fast or not. It was about what
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the Day of Atonement truly is about. And it seems
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: that in this discussion about whether to fast or not,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: The true purpose of this day is getting forgotten. The
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Day of Atonement was the most holiest day of the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Hebrew year because it was the time that Yahuwah forgave
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the sins of his people. He marked the coming of
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: this day by the Feast of Trumpets, which gave Israel
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: ten days to prepare their hearts for him. If you
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: kept the Feast of Trumpets, you should have been using
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: this time to reflect on yourself, your actions, and your
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: heart posture for Yahuwah. By this time on the Day
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: of Atonement, you should have already been in a humbling
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: state reflecting on yourself, and.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: How you should be better devoted to Yahuwah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: By the time this day came, you should be humbled
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to a state that you are in a state of
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: repentance and reflection, knowing that Yahuwah has forgiven your sins
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and remembers them no more. We are fortunate as because
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of Yahushua and his sacrifice, this act of forgiveness is perpetual.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: It is not just forgiven on this day of the year,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: but every day he remembers our sin no more. The
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: reason for our remembrance on this day of atonement is
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: remembrance of this and focusing on his blessing and his
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: love for us. When I was providing correction on this,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it was not to discourage you not to fast, but
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to emphasize what the importance of this day truly is.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And this is what we should be doing on this day.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And truly we should be doing this every day. And
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: that is coming to Yahweh with humility and meekness, reflecting
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: on our past and focusing on being better going forward.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: The day promotes our heart posture that we can carry
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to every day moving forward. This is what I was
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: focusing on and trying to emphasize. Apparently did it poorly.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: This day is not about fasting. It is about afflicting
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: our souls or better yet, humbling our souls. And the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: thing is that many people have the same question, which
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: truly emphasized to me that this day is not truly understood.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And again, it was my fault as well, as I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: did not truly explain it well enough. I should have
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: went in more depth the first time or the second.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Many people ask me, what does humbling our souls look like?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: For most people, they see it only as fasting. This
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: is why the argument is in place. This understanding does
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: not take away the need for fasting. As I am
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: one that fasts regularly, to me personally, a 24-hour fast
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: is not really afflicting myself, as this is done very simply.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: But that was never my point. So let me be
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: clear about humbling our souls. Because many people ask me,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: what does humbling our souls look like? To humble our
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: souls before Yahweh is submitting to him in desire for
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: correctness and repentance. It is turning away from our error
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and desiring to be better. It's a heart issue, not
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a physical issue, which is why we are afflicting or
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: humbling our souls. We should be putting down our pride
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and truly looking within our hearts in the smallest of
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: matters and seeing where we have wronged Yahweh. We are
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: turning our hearts to him and correcting ourselves. Times that
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: we did not put him first. Times that we walked
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: in vanity. Times that we put other things before him.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Times that we did not serve his people. It is
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: truly a humbling experience that goes directly to the heart.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Look at it from this vantage point. Have you ever
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: known that you've wronged someone and so you had to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: really dig deep and really understand what actually happened between
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you two? You had to deal with things you never
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: actually wanted to deal with. For those that are married,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: have you ever had a problem with your spouse that
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: they were trying to show you how you wronged them?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: but you never really took the time to see from
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: their perspective. But because you love them and you knew
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: that you were affecting them, you had to humble yourself
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: so deeply that you truly understood where you were wrong
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: with them. It is truly about afflicting yourself. Don't get
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: me wrong. Fasting is a strong spiritual tool and it
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: should be done. And in no way was I making
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: this a debate about fasting. If you felt that you
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: should fast, then you should fast. That was never my point.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: The point is that if you have fasted, but you
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: have not actually done this activity of humbling yourself and
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: truly reflecting and repenting, you have missed the whole point
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: of this day.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: All I wanted to do was speak.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: To the importance of us preparing our hearts for Yahuwah,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: because this is what is needed as you are preparing
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to come back to him in fullness. This is what
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: he desires. He's spoken on this directly. This is why
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: he punished us. It was to humble us, and this
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: has to be our focus. And somehow, this correction got
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: in the way of that. I recognize the scriptures people
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: use about how they afflicted our souls and what they did.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: But I also recognize that many of you, when you
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: read these scriptures, you're not reading them in full. But
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I'll get back to that. The command Yahweh gave is
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: about our heart. This is why Yahushua came to show
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: us what a circumcised heart looks like. What I was
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: simply trying to do was explain that this is what
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: we must do. But if you felt you wanted to fast,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: then please fast. If you're conflicted, then fast. But it
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: still does not change the most important part of this day,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: which is humbling ourselves and focusing on being better for Yahuwah.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: We are the remnant and we must be preparing ourselves
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: for him. And if we are keeping these feasts today,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: we must understand why he has created them. He did
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: not create this day for us not to eat. He
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: created this day for us to remember him and reflect
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and be better.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Humbling our souls.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: And if our people understood this back then, we would
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: not be in this predicament today that we're in. If
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: we're going to be ready, we must humble ourselves and
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: just focus on being better. Everything does not need to
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: be an argument. Everything does not need controversy. Some of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: you have gotten so out of pocket because you disagreed
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: that you completely let the enemy use you in the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: complete opposite way that this day is supposed to be about.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: This whole period since the Feast of Trumpets, you should
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: have been preparing your heart and mind and seeking to
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: be better and repent for your errors. This is what
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I see as humbling our souls and what the error
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: of Israel was. I am simply trying to emphasize the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: importance of sending our hearts right for Yahweh and correcting
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the error of our ancestors so that we do not
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: repeat their mistakes. And if you really understood how important
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: this is to him, there really should not be a controversy.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: So look, I am sorry that I did not take
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the proper amount of time to explain myself. With such
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a serious topic, I should have devoted more time and
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I miscalculated that. Please, do not make a controversy over fasting.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: If you truly feel you should fast, then please do so.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Fasting is a very important part of our spiritual lives.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: But the most important part of this is our heart posture,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and that's all I was trying to say. Please, there
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: is no reason for argument or debate. Let the Christians
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: engage like that. If I say something and you disagree, please,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: there is no reason for an uproar and fighting. Do
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: not let me interfere with your convictions. I'm just speaking
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: on what it is that Yahweh placed on my heart.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Israel never truly learned about circumcising their hearts. And if
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you're keeping this day of atonement, please understand what this means.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I do recognize that this is something that actually probably
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: needed to happen because it is absolutely something that needs
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to be emphasized in the Torah series about circumcising our hearts.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: So in a way, I'm happy for this being exposed.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Please try to understand something. Look at it from this way.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Let's say that every one of Israel fasted every day
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: of atonement as this was what they believed our father
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: was calling for them to do. So they all refrained
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: from food for this day. showing sorrow and grief for Yahuwah.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not eating food for you, Yahuwah.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: But guess what?
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Because that was all they were focusing on, they never
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: changed their hearts. And so the next day, you see
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: they never corrected their errors. They never actually humbled themselves
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: before Yahuwah, and they continued on with some of the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: same things that vexed Yahuwah. Do you think Yahuwah cared
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: for them because they didn't eat food for those 24 hours?
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: He has actually spoken on this directly. I mean, absolutely directly.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to get to that. I'm just asking
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you to consider what I'm saying. First off, you must
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: remember that this is why he hated their feast. They
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: did things out of obligation and just practicing in vain worship.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: As he says, hear the word of Yahuwah, you rulers
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: of Sodom. Give ear to the law of our Elohim,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you people of Gomorrah. So what purpose is the multitude
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: of your sacrifices to me?
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Says Yahuwah.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I've had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: fat of fed cattle. I do not delight in the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: blood of bulls or of lambs or goats. When you
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: come to appear before me, who has required this from
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: your hand to trample my courts? Bring no more futile sacrifices.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: incense is an abomination to me the new moons the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: sabbaths and the calling of assemblies i cannot endure iniquity
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: in the sacred meeting your new moons and your appointed
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: feast my soul hates they are a trouble to me
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: i am weary of bearing them we spread out your
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: hands i will hide my eyes from you even though
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you make many prayers i will not hear Your hands
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: are full of blood.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: This is what he says, though.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Wash yourselves. Make yourselves clean. Put away the evil of
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Learn to do good. Seek justice. Rebuke the oppressor. Defend
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the fatherless. Plead for the widow. Come now and let
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: us reason together, says Yahuwah. Though your sins are like scarlet,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: they shall be as white as snow. Though they are
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the land. But if you refuse and rebel, you shall
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of Yahweh
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: has spoken. That's Isaiah chapter 1 verses 10 through 20.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: And guess what?
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: They refused, they were not willing or obedient, and they
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: were devoured by the sword. We need to correct that.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: But what he desires is for them to correct themselves,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to be clean, make themselves clean. He hated their feasts
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: because they were doing things in vain worship of him.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: He wanted them to fix their hearts and make themselves clean,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: which ironically was the actual reason for that video. Make
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: yourselves clean. And that should be the focus on the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Day of Atonement because he is providing the atonement.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: To make yourselves clean. You have to fix what's in
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: your heart.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: But look, I'm going to end it right here because understand, Yahuwah,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: he has spoken about this whole fasting debate actually. And
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: it's actually very funny to me because as many of
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you have tried to use this verse to justify Yahuwah,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: why you say afflicting our souls was fasting, if you
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: actually just read the whole verse in context, you will
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: see that the reason for what I have said is
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: exactly what Yahweh has said. Many of you try to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: use this verse against me, just showing that you're not
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: really understanding what it is that Yahweh is saying.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: So let's just draw this out.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Isaiah chapter 58 because this is what
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: so many of you have sent me. Let's just go
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: here and read it for yourselves. Please, humble yourselves and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: let's read this. Cry aloud, spare not. Lift up your
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: voice like a trumpet. Tell my people their transgression and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the house of Jacob their sins. Yet they seek me
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: daily and delight to know my ways as a nation
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that did righteousness and did not forsake the ordinance of
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: their Elohim. They ask of me the ordinance of justice.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: They take the light in approaching Elohim. Why have we fasted,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: they say, and you have not seen? Why have we
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: afflicted our souls and you take no notice? In fact,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: in the day of your fast, you will find pleasure
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: And again, this is what people have sent me saying
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Israel believed this is what they were doing when they
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: were fasting.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: They were afflicting their souls. And you know what? This
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: is what they believed, yes. But none of you are
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: listening to Yahuwah.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: And I really don't understand it because if you just
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: read what he said, this should not even be a debate.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Because do you know what they're saying? They're saying, why
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: have we afflicted our souls and you take no notice?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: They did those things and he didn't even take notice
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: of it. So maybe there's more to this. If we
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: keep reading, he tells us. So let's just keep reading.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Let's read the next verse because it's important. Is it
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: a fast that I have chosen a day for man
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: head like a bulrush and to spread out sackcloth and ashes?
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Would you call this a fast and an acceptable day
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to Yahuwah? That's Isaiah chapter 58 verse 5. He asks,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: is this a fast that he has chosen? A day
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: for a man to afflict his soul. So is that
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: what he has chosen? Listen to what he compares it to.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: He says, is it to bow down his head like
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: a bulrush? This is a bulrush or a reed. It
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: has a heavy top that naturally droops down and bends downward.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: He's comparing it to tilting one's head like a drooping plant,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: mimicking the look of being crushed by grief.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm fasting.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Look what I'm doing. I'm hungry, but I'm doing this
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: for you. That's what he's comparing it to. The phrase
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: bow down his head like a bulrush means performing a
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: superficial theatrical display of sorrow. It's fake humility or mourning
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: without genuine internal change or spiritual substance. And this was
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: what I was exactly trying to say. He said to
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: spread out sackcloth is in ashes. When they do that,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: it's a highly visible ritual of grief, mourning, and deep
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: repentance before him. This is what you're doing outwardly to
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: show it. He's talking about what you're showing outwardly. Everyone's
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: showing it outwardly, but what is he focused on? What
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: does he care about? Do you understand what he's saying
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to them? Actually, better saying, he's saying to us. Right
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: here directly, Yahweh is challenging Israel because they treat fasting
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and mourning like a one-day performance or theatrical display of piety.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: It's an empty ritual. You're doing it to be seen.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Look at me. I'm fasting for you. I'm not eating
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: food for you. They bend their heads like weak reeds
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: in the wind and lie on uncomfortable sackcloth showing that
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: they're mourning and they're doing this for him. But what's
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the actual problem? They actually internally refuse to change their behavior.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: They're showing it outwardly, but inwardly, they're refusing to do
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: what he desires. He literally has spoken against this. And
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: this is what I was speaking about and correcting. I'm
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: speaking about what he truly wants for us. Anyone could fast,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: anyone could mourn and say, look what I'm doing for you, Yahuwah.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: But if you're not using this day for what he
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: truly wants, you are doing this in vain. And that's
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: all I'm trying to communicate to you. Just keep listening
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: to Yahuwah. This is what he says. Is this not
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bonds
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Is
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: it not to share your bread with the hungry? and
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: that you bring to your house the poor who are
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: cast out? When you see the naked, that you cover him,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: The glory of Yahuwah shall be your rear guard. Then
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: you shall call, and Yahuwah will answer. You shall cry,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: and he will say, Here I am.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: If you take away the yoke from your mitts, the
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, If you extend
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: darkness shall be as the noonday. Yahuwah will guide you
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: continually and satisfy your soul in drought and strengthen your bones.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: You shall be like a watered garden and like a
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: spring of water whose water do not fail. Those from
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: among you shall build the old waste places. You shall
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: raise up the foundations of many generations, and you shall
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: streets to dwell in. Isaiah chapter 58 verses 6 through 12.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: He's talking directly to us. That's our prophecy. Hear what
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: he has proclaimed because he's speaking directly to us. He
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: has spoken of the fast that he wants. As he says,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: is this not the fast that I have chosen?
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: It's about loosening the bonds of wickedness from ourselves. A
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: heart change. He wants us to do a heart change.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Humbling yourselves before him and being truly the people that
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: he desires. I mean, so many of you actually sent
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: me this verse while not reading totally what he's saying.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: You're trying to prove a point while not actually understanding
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the point that was being made. You all are focused
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: on the visible act of mourning and showing you are
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: afflicting yourselves. And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: But if you are not doing what it is that
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: he truly desires when afflicting your souls, then you are
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: doing it in vain. And all I try to communicate
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: is the heart change that needs to happen and be done.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: And some of you, you truly need it. You are
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: arguing against the most important thing that we should all
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: be focusing on. And then I hear that there are
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: others leading people in strife and debate about it, doing
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: exactly what Yahweh has spoken against. As he said, indeed,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: you fast for strife and debate. These are his words,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: not mine. Look, whether you choose to fast or not
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: on the Day of Atonement was not the debate. Listen
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: to Yahweh and his own judgment, because he spoke about
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the fast that he chose. And if you all care
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: about what he said, there wouldn't have been a debate
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: about this. Again, let me repeat it. To afflict our
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: souls is to humble ourselves before Yahuwah. To humble our
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: souls before Yahuwah is submitting to him in desire for
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: correctness and repentance. It is turning away from our error
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and desiring to be better. It's a heart issue, not
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: a physical issue, which is why we are afflicting our
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: souls and humbling our souls. It's not about what we're
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: doing visibly for everyone to see. It's about what we're
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: doing internally for Yahuwah to see. We should be putting
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: down our pride and looking within our heart in the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: smallest of matters, And seeing where we have wronged Yahuwah.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Times we did not put him first. Times that we
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: walked in vanity. Times that we put other things before him.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Times that we did not help others. It is truly
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: a humbling experience that goes directly to the heart. And
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I will truly stand before Yahuwah on this that I
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: have said and taught. I hold a very big responsibility
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: as one who teaches. Be clear, I don't answer to you.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: You can all come against me in an uproar. You
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: can fight with me. Send me emails telling me what
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I have to do. making videos about me, it doesn't
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: matter to me. I do not answer to you. I
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: will speak where Yahuwah places on my heart and whoever
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: he says to hear it is who he says to
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: hear it. I serve Yahuwah and all I have tried
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to communicate is the focus on getting your heart right
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: for him. That was my focus. That was the reason
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: for the correction. In the end, we shall all let
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Yahuwah decide. I truly believe that some of you get
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: so much in your flesh when you hear a correction
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: that you aren't actually listening to what it is that
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I'm actually saying. And what happens is that if there
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: is a perspective that you need to hear, but your
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: pride blocks you from it because you want to believe
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: you know it all, then you are blocking Yahuwah. I
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: rarely do a correction on a topic like that.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Rarely.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Instead of immediately arguing because you initially don't understand, please,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: just try to understand what's being said. Pray about it
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: before you go in the direction many of you went.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I am very far from being your enemy. I just
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: want us to be ready for Yahweh and that was
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: my focus. So look, I wanted to get this out
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: there and make it clear. For many of us, the
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Day of Atonement passed. For many of you, you're celebrating now.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Whatever the case is, use this day for what it
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: is for. Even after the Day of Atonement, this is
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: what you need to be doing. Humble yourselves before Yahweh
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: and get your heart correct in serving him in righteousness
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: as he desires.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I truly hope this makes sense.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Please, stop the fighting. I'm asking that many of you
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: just take it easy. Do not delay Yahweh's coming because
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: you're showing that we're not ready for him. Please, let's
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: display that we are ready for him. We are humbling
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: ourselves before him and we are ready for him. So look,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: all of you, be blessed. And may your feast be blessed.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: May Yahuwah and Yahusha dwell in you and guide you all.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: May their presence be filled with you all and fill
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: you up and their righteousness pour upon you all as
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: we fix ourselves and wait for the promises to be fulfilled.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: May you all be blessed.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Continue to grow in knowledge and truth. Live your life
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: in the truth and stay out of the lies because
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the kingdom of Yahuwah is truly at hand. please be
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: ready for it and be blessed.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah. Praise Yah. I love you all.
