Yâhuwçë´ph

What am I?  A person who is serving our Mighty Ones with all that which He gave him, humbly, and who doesn't seek to promote oneself, rather to promote Him, Who has been so kind to him and all of us.  I am always daunted with the significance of the task I am entrusted with, and I don't take it lightly.  I wish to help my brothers using as much as I can of what He has given to me.  I identify with YirmYâ´huw with his motivation to do so:

…...Because the Word of Yâ-hwéh has been for me for an insult and for a reproach all day long.  But if I say: “I shall not mention Him” or “I will not speak by His name more”, then it is WITHIN MY HEART like FIRE BURNING, being shut up in my bones.  And I am weary of holding it in, and indeed I cannot.

[YirmYâ´huw 20:9]

What am I NOT? I am not our leader, Yâhuwshúa` is our Leader. I am not the pastor/priest, my house is not our gathering place, He is our Good Shepherd and Priest, and His pure mountain, Mount Tsiyyown will be our gathering place. I am not your spiritual guide, nor do I pretend to be the spiritual guide of those who believe as I do: the spirit of Truth is our spiritual guide, and scripture is your instruction booklet. May no one ever call me Rabbiy! For One is our Commander, and that is Yâhuwshúa`, as He said. So please don't ask for my phone number, my address, demand to call and visit me and have me immerse you in water and lay claim on me to give you personal tutelage and lay hands on you to exorcise you. If you think I'm exagerrating, I'm sad to say, I'm not (If you were one of the ones who asked me for these things, don't worry, you weren't the only one!). This doesn't mean that I am antisocial. This means I am but one person, and that I have a lot to do still, and working for hours dealing with people individually detracts from the larger mission Yâ-hwéh gave me.

I will let you in on something you probably have not heard before: Every one of you who is chosen by Him needs to be aware that you yourself ALSO are to become an ATTENDANT (diakonos) of His Body, the Convocation, and as such you follow THE LAMB wherever He goes. The 144,000 chosen remnant's description in scripture demonstrates this. They are not a flock of followers of men, they follow THE LAMB. And as such you have a responsibility you, yourself, to prepare yourself in His knowledge and wisdom by the time He arrives. Moreover, to feed His sheep the Bread from heaven, His true unadulterated Word, His name Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa`. Yes this means you brothers or sisters who may think this Way of Yâ-hwéh is some usual Christian arrangement where the congregation sits down and shuts up and listens to a lone showman pastor. Noooo! So yes, though I am an ATTENDANT, if you believe, so are you. And you should be doing something about it like I am.

If you have brought a brother or sister to the knowledge of the Truth, and they believe Yâhuwshúa` is Yâ-hwéh, the Testimony, and they have no near-miss names in them, and they aren't proclaiming false doctrines, invite them yourself to fellowship with us and bid shalowm for them among us. So although I do this somewhat frequently, this is NOT something unique about me. Currently, we fellowship online, because we are too scattered to gather geographically in one place. See the site menu for places to find us to fellowship. But I emphasize that we aren't gathering to shelter ourselves in some utopian kibbutz, we forge ourselves in the hostile spiritual battlefield of testifying to the world, and gather to share and edify each other. May Yâ-hwéh bless you all to understand, study, grow, and multiply without letting impurity enter among us. Remember the rules Yâhuwshúa` gave us about our behavior and to love one another, because it was US He was talking about. Nonbelievers can't obey Him anyhow.

Who am I?  Many will ask who I am that I should be doing this website and translation.  It is bound to be a reason many will use to base their distrust of the Truth this translation proclaims.  It was the reason the Phrushíym (“Pharisees”) sent messengers to ask Yâhuwchânâ´n the Immerser (“John the Baptist”) who he was.  And as he did, and did not lie, I will say:

I am the one Yâ-hwéh calls “the one taking refuge in Me”(yb howxhw w-ha-Joséh viy) who will say, “Remount it up! Remount it up!  Prepare the Way!  Remove the obstacles out of the Way of my people! Because thus says the Raised and Exalted One, Who abides eternally - and His name is pure!” as Yâ-hwéh said through the predicator Yshá`Yâhuw in Yshá`Yâhuw 57:13-14.  This is because Yâ-hwéh has said, “Look! I am putting obstacles before this people and they will stumble over them, fathers and sons alike, a neighbor and his friend, and they will perish.” (YirmYâ´huw 6:21), for they did not listen to His Words and rejected His Law, the Word of Yâ-hwéh is offensive to them, they find no pleasure in it.  (Vv.10, 19)

I am a scribe become a pupil for the Kingdom of Yâ-hwéh, similar to a master of a house, who casts forth from his treasure things new and old.  (MattithYâ´huw 13:52)

I aim to be the trustworthy and prudent bondman, whom his Sovereign has set over His household to give to them the Bread during the season.  (MattithYâ´huw 24:45)  The trustworthy and prudent house manager whose Sovereign will set over the service of His household to supply the ration of grain during the season of His return.  (Luwqá' 12:42)

Nevertheless, I am just a lazy servant, because I will have only done what I owed to do.  (Luwqá' 17:10)  Therefore may all credit and praise be given to Whom gave this treasure freely, Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa`.

I am not 'ËliyYâ´huw, I am not Moshéh; I am not Xanówkh or one of the prophets of old, or one of the two witnesses.  I am certainly not the Anointed: though I am a member of His body, He is the Head.  May those opposing me refrain from slandering the spirit that is within me as being from the Adversary, as they would have to pay for this error themselves, as it will receive no forgiveness because the spirit calls them to accept His pardon, and refusing a pardon means no forgiveness.

I am not extroverted, I am not a people-person, in fact, I am one of those cringing in spirit ("poor in spirit").  I did not write this website and decide to announce all these things among the chatrooms because of my having delusions of charisma.  Let the truth be known, I am a thinker, a reserved person, who would naturally rather not socialize (but who truly loves others, especially those who respect the Truth).  One thing though, I have always been a lover of truth, one who would rather be right than popular.  When I was a child, I prayed I could help Him and make an impact for Him in the end times.   I didn't realize then that the situation was this critical.  When  I did get the opportunity I always wanted to study and learn scripture, the things I found and the sheer amount of things of extreme importance which this world hasn't heard astounded me, and I realized that it needs to be known and most of all this is not being taught.  I couldn't understand why someone else somewhere with charisma who has the connections and the ability hadn't done this long ago.  I guess "knowledge is being increased", and this accounts for the splintering of the denominations and today's relative freedom of religion afforded to us.  But since the vacuum of information is this bad, and the pastors of Christianity keep it dumbed down, I had no choice but to get involved in spite of my not being outgoing, making a major scripture revision to emphasize accuracy and consistency. And the many things that conflict with what Christianity teaches that I learned in my scripture studies while led by His spirit when I had learned His name made me see and understand why our people stumble if they attempt to understand His Truth without His spirit. So my job was therefore "cut out for me": to remove those obstacles from the Way of our people to prepare us for the return of our Sovereign in judgment by preparing this website to explain them so people I haven't even met can help themselves to all He let me understand in scriptures in my honest and unbiased scripture research.

The main question should be, "what is your purpose in coming to this page?"  If you are indeed a sincere seeker of the Truth, as someone said, it doesn't matter if I am a streetsweeper, the fact that nearly all the information on this website is backed up solidly by scripture which is cited should be enough credentials for the information presented here.  If you are such a one, I am your brother with your same spirit and desire to seek the Truth, and merely one who wishes to share to save others the effort which I have done within Him, so you won't have to "reinvent the wheel".

The details about me which this page has had in the past has only served to alienate people who thought it meant I am proud of what I have done, when in actuality, Yâ-hwéh is the only One who deserves credit.

I wish only the best for all those who find and take the time to read this site.  I recommend printing the study pages and taking them to your pastor, for him to explain why he hasn't been telling you what is on them, and to prove them wrong scripturally.  I am genuinely curious about this, so let me know what they say, and whether they persuaded you too.

Nonetheless, "as for me and my house, we shall worship Yâ-hwéh!" (Yâhuwshúa` ["Joshua"] 24:15)

In the love of the Anointed Yâhuwshúa`, your brother,

Yâhuwçë´ph José
