ANATHEMA MARANATHA

The short phrase, “anathema maranatha” is found once in Scripture at 1 Korinthians 16:22.

The word maranatha without the associated word "anathema" began to be used by Christians in recent times.

Correctly understood, the phrase anathema maranatha means “forbidden; Master comes!”

Those making it clear they are opposed to Yahusha are “off-limits” to us, so we say “anathema maranatha” pertaining to any close relationships with them, especially Scripture studies. We are still sent to those who may have been misled by former teachers, but we are not to destroy the reputations of those former teachers as we see so many doing today with the Internet.

Note the Greek text says ANATHEMA MARANATHA - these must be taken together to properly understand the meaning of the sentence.

The word “anathema” is equivalent to the Hebrew word HEREM, and means off-limits, or forbidden. This word is used for the harem of a king, a group of concubines guarded by a cohort of eunuchs. Maranatha is the component of the phrase that means judgment is coming to execute vengeance. “Maranatha” in this case should not be isolated from the word used before it, anathema, to be properly understood in context.

Another common mistake with new teachers involves what I call “changeling words.”

MARYA means master, yet some create a changeling word when they add their ideas to it. When a word sounds like "yah," some force-out the real root and insert their new spelling. The Hebrew word for the name of the city known as Jerusalem is IRSHALOM, composed of the two words IR (city, foundation) + SHALOM (peace, completeness); thus we have the meaning of "city of peace." When we see it spelled "Yahrushalom," it is inserting another meaning, although with a noble intent. The word begins with yod-resh, not yod-hay, so it is a changeling word. This is done in many words by new teachers with shallow training.

Teachers are mixing roots with the word YISHARAL. They are confusing YASHAR and ASHA in the word YISHARAL.

The suffix AL refers to ALAHIM. To rule with ALAHIM is the meaning. It's not associated with YASHAR (straight) or ASHA (woman).

Another example of this is the word MARYA being spelled MARYAH, as if the Name Yah is a component of it. This is how we can be misled; so word roots need to be left as they are without embellishments added to them.

We are not Christian (a Greek term), but rather we are Israelites of the sect of the Natsarim (Acts 24:5).
Christianity is a Greek term for a religion commonly blamed on Yahusha of Natsarith. Its origin is Alexandria, Egypt, hatched at the Didascalia (Greek word for teaching authority).
Catholicism is a hybrid religion combining many diverse Pagan religions with the Mashiach of Israel, and started by Constantine I. It is a hiding place for worshipping the host of heaven (Sun worship). The papacy is the Magisterium (Latin for teaching authority). It is the vicar of Nimrod, passing authority forward into successors over time.
Many of it's customs are derived from Hinduism.

We are Israelite, because we are in the Covenant (Eph. 2), and Natsarim because we hold to the Testimony of Yahusha. Being these, we are of the barley harvest, the first-fruits, and of the 144,000 being gathered from the 12 tribes of Israel in the last days. Only 12,000 of these are from the tribe of Yahudah (Jews), and the others are likewise being called out from among the nations where they were dispersed long ago (2700+ years).

Read Psalm 80, and you will see that we are something completely new that Yahuah is doing, that He planned long ago.
