	What Is Wormwood?
	
	When men teach us to disregard 
	the instructions of Yahuah, we have eaten wormwood (altered patterns of 
	behavior). 
	Those who teach us do not regard YashaYahu 8:20.
	We have endured centuries of false teachings under false shepherds, eating 
	their wormwood.

	The Secret of Lawlessness In One Word: WORMWOOD
	
	A Bitterness Toward Obedience
	
	Babel's Ishtar: the Great Mother of Harlots
	
	Her teachings: 
	freedom and liberty from Yahuah 
	
	
	
	
	
	
  
	
	
	
	
	
	
	FREEDOM FROM OBEYING YAHUAH - AS NIMROD WANTED
	
	
	
	Christian teachers are scrambling to recover from what 
	could be the greatest wardrobe malfunction for the Mother of Harlots.
	It’s the direct connection between the name 
	Ishtar and Easter.
	About 1985, I began to study Scripture as a theological 
	archaeologist. Just below the surface of every familiar term and custom 
	there was a filthy core hiding behind a candy-coating. 
	These discoveries 
	inspired the book,  
	Fossilized Customs.
	The author  
	Alexander Hislop, author of 
	The Two Babylons, was also a theological 
	archaeologist whose eyes were opened to the connection between Nimrod’s 
	reign and the 4th beast, Rome’s Magisterium. 
	He drew the connection between 
	the words  Easter and 
	 Ishtar, yet his critics claim that phonetics (the sound 
	of words) is a worthless proof.  
	When proper names are concerned, is that really the 
	case, or is the proof too overwhelming to face for those who risk losing 
	their position in a false teaching authority? The Anglican Catholic KJV is 
	the only English translation using the word Easter. - Acts 12:4 
	
	The Hebrew 
	term PESAK was transliterated (not translated) into the Greek script 29 
	times as PASCHA. The KJV’s use of the word Easter at Acts 12:4 defies logic, 
	since if it could be justified in one instance, then why not all 29 
	instances? The dirty little secret is that this Catholic tradition 
	overwhelmed the translators, and now everyone is claiming the meaning behind 
	the word Easter is still clean. They are trying to put a new crust over it 
	with claims that it means “dawn” (still based another pagan deity of the 
	dawn, Aurora). Magicians use misdirection to deceive, and Jesuits use 
	 
	
	casuistry in the same way. 
	 
	When the Truth of the term Easter 
	is made known across the world, it will awaken millions from their 
	slumber. This is beginning to happen and Christian pastors are posting 
	their explanations as fast as they can to reduce the damage to their 
	authority. The Easter Harlot has had a major wardrobe malfunction and the 
	world is going to get a good look at it.
	As usual, they are playing on the ignorance of their 
	followers, using “translation” as the universal equivocation device. 
	
	They are turning to meanings based on Anglo-Saxon, 
	German, Greek, and Latin. Ishtar, Eastre, Ostern, and many others have no 
	connection with Yahusha’s language or His resurrection, but they do relate 
	to Aurora, Aphrodite, Diana, Libertas, Ashtaroth, Durga, and other terms for 
	the mother goddess worshipped by witches. Other wardrobe malfunctions are to 
	come. 
	The worship of the host of heaven by means of Babel’s 
	zodiac, or vows to the queen of heaven though every birthday cake, are being shown to have nothing to do with Yahusha's 
	behavior. Yahusha is cleansing the filth from His bride in a worldwide 
	behavior revolution. 
	
	Here is a recent posting that basically says,
	
	
	“Move along, there’s nothing to see 
	here.”  
	Constantine (the father of Christianity) becomes part of 
	their explanation: 
	Easter question posted at Jesus.org:
	
	Is Easter Named for a 
	Pagan Goddess?
	“Our English word Passover, happily, in sound and sense, 
	almost corresponds to the Hebrew [pesach], of which is a translation (Exodus 
	12:27). The Greek pascha, formed from the Hebrew, is the name of the Jewish 
	festival, applied invariably in the primitive church to designate the 
	festival of the Lord’s resurrection, which took place at the time of the 
	passover.
	Our word Easter is of Saxon origin, and of precisely the 
	same import with its German cognate Ostern. The latter is derived from the 
	old Teutonic form of  
	auferstehn, Auferstehung, which means 
	“resurrection.” The name Easter is undoubtedly preferable to pascha or 
	passover, but the latter was the primitive name.”
	"The 
	word Easter is of Saxon origin, the name is eastre, the goddess of spring in 
	whose honor sacrifices were offered about Passover time each year. By the 
	eighth century Anglo-Saxons had adopted the name to designate the 
	celebration of Christ's resurrection." 
	- 
	
	
	from An Ecclesiastical 
	History to the Twentieth Year of the Reign of Constantine, 4th ed., trans. 
	Christian F. Cruse (London: Oxford Univ. Press, 1847).
	
	Did the explanation by Jesus.org 
	work for you?
	Equivocation is employed to defend the error. The 
	misdirection is in their translation of the German word,
	
	
	auferstehn, 
	which doesn’t mean resurrection.  
	It is a word that refers to springtime, and means “to 
	resuscitate.”
	It’s 
	time to wake up now, and be restored to favor with Yahuah.
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	WORMWOOD
	BITTERNESS TOWARD YAHUAH'S WORD
	
	“Those who forsake the Torah praise the wrong,
	
	
	Those who guard the Torah strive with them.”
	
	Read that again slowly, and let’s do a little test right now.
	
	
	
	
	
	Who is serving the dragon, and who is serving Yahusha? Test yourself with 
	the evidence. 
	
	Wormwood is feeding on, and living by, alterations of Yahuah’s Words.
	
	Pastors and their 
	followers keep repeating they are not “under the law” and don’t live by the 
	“old law” because the Commandments were “fulfilled by Yahusha  
	for us” 
	and obedience is no longer required for our deliverance.  
	
	They say the Torah was a 
	curse, and we are no longer “under the law.” People who obey are legalists. 
	
	
	
	    
	
	
	(aka: 
	
	heretics, 
	living according to a 
	
	“false gospel”)
	
	
	If that is the case, 
	then why does the dragon “make war with a remnant” who “keep the 
	Commandments of Yahuah” and acknowledge Yahusha – seen at 
	Revelation 12:17?   
	
	Who does that make those 
	who are making war on the Hebrew Roots and the Natsarim who teach obedience?
	
	
	
	“And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the 
	remnant of her seed, those guarding the Commands of Alahim and possessing 
	the witness of Yahusha ha 
	
	Mashiak.”
	
	
	– Rev 12:17
	Which side are you on?
	We either live by every 
	Word that proceeds from the mouth of Yahuah, or we live by the ideas and 
	interpretations of lawless teachers. 
	
	Yahuah says "I do not change." Men say 
	He does change by altering what He wants and how we should live. 
	
	The majority of people go to a weekly assembly 
	hoping this is pleasing to the GOD OF MANY NAMES they hope to learn more 
	about under their  steeple, which Yahuah told us to never construct (see Lev. 
	26:1). They are not taught the seeds (the Ten Commandments), but they are 
	taught all about the fruit.
	The  Fruit is the 
	behavior, the result of what we have sown in our hearts.  
	
	The  Seed is the 
	Covenant  (the vows of living we commit our lives to live by).
	It is the will of Yahuah, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  
	
	If we change His 
	Seed, we become like genetically-modified (GMO) organisms - an abomination.
	If we are taught alterations of the Ten 
	Commandments by men, we are living on wormwood. Our foundation is rotten to 
	the core. 
	We can talk about the FRUIT all day long, but 
	without the SEED planted in us we'll remain unchanged.
	The Seed comes first, then the fruit. 
	
	Yahuah told us He was coming to burn the Earth 
	because of this one thing:
	"The Earth is completely emptied and utterly 
	plundered, for Yahuah has spoken this Word. The Earth shall mourn and 
	wither, the world shall languish and wither, the haughty people of the Earth 
	shall languish.
	For the Earth has been 
	defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Toroth, 
	changed the law, broken the everlasting Covenant."  
	 - 
	YashaYahu / Isaiah 24:3, 4
	This will occur on the  
	Day of Yahuah 
	(the vision of many prophets), at the return of Yahusha.

	PHYSICAL & SPIRITUAL LEVELS OF CORRUPTION
	 “And the 3rd 
	messenger sounded, and a great star fell from the heaven, burning like a 
	torch, and it fell on a 3rd of the rivers and on the fountains of water, and 
	the name of the star is called Wormwood. And a 3rd of the waters became 
	wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.”
	
	Rev 8:10,11
	
	PHYSICAL WORMWOOD 
	-  
	BITTERNESS
	
	This can be 
	asteroids, war, poison, disease, floods, earthquakes, radiation, crime, etc. 
	
	
	SPIRITUAL 
	WORMWOOD 
	-  
	BITTERNESS
	
	This is seen in 
	the behavior of people, and is the result of ignoring or altering the 
	Instructions (Torah) of 
	 
	
	Yahuah. It’s like 
	a programming flaw,  
	or a 
	computer virus, that corrupts from the inside.  
	
	
	The origin of 
	this wormwood is the spiritual realm, where our enemy works through people, 
	corrupting 
	 
	
	their hearts with
	strongholds
	 
	(faulty thinking). 
	
	Amus 5:7:
	
	
	  
	“O you who are turning 
	right-ruling to wormwood, and have cast down righteousness to the Earth!”
	
	
	This describes 
	the alteration of His Words, taught by 
	false teachers:
	
	Jer/YirmeYahu 9:13-16: 
	
	“And Yahuah says, 
	‘Because they have forsaken My Torah which I set before them, and have not 
	obeyed My voice, nor walked according to it, 
	but they have walked according to the stubbornness of their own heart 
	and after the Baalim  
	(LORDS) 
	
	which their 
	fathers had taught them.’  
	
	
	Therefore thus 
	said Yahuah Tsabaoth, the Alahim of Yisharal, ‘See, I am making this people 
	eat wormwood, and I shall make them drink poisoned water.
	And I shall scatter them among the 
	gentiles, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. And I shall send a 
	sword after them until I have consumed them.’”
	
	
	LITERAL & 
	FIGURATIVE
	
	Misinterpretations can corrupt our understanding, and impact our behavior. 
	
	
	Consider Psalms/Tehillim 1:3:
	
	
	
	“He is like a 
	tree planted by 
	streams of water, which yields its 
	fruit in season, and whose 
	leaf does not 
	wither."
	
	Confusing idiomatic abstractions to be 
	literal, we mistake what Yahuah means.
	
	Here we see that Yahuah’s Words express 
	His abstract thoughts. 
	 
	
	
	A person who meditates on the
	
	Torah of Yahuah is 
	 
	like 
	these things:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
	
	
	
	                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
	
	  
	
	
	TREE - upright, righteous one
	
	STREAMS OF LIVING WATER - Words of Torah
	
	FRUIT - good character, good behavior
	
	UNWITHERED LEAF - prosperity
	
	Being held in a demonic stronghold is like a 
	computer virus corrupting our thinking. When we are influenced by men's 
	teachings and false teaching authorities, it is like drinking the water 
	downstream from the herd.
	
	
	
	We have to 
	reprogram our thinking 
	by  
	renewing our minds:
	
	Rom 11:33-12:2:  
	“Oh, the depth of riches, 
	and wisdom and knowledge of Alahim! How unsearchable His judgments and 
	untraceable His ways! For who has known the mind 
	of Yahuah? Or who 
	has become His counsellor? Or who first gave to Him, and it shall be given 
	back to him?  
	Because of Him, and 
	through Him, and to Him, are all, to whom be esteem forever, Amn. 
	I call upon you, therefore, brothers, through the compassion of 
	Alahim, to present your bodies 
	a living offering – set-apart, 
	well-pleasing to Alahim – your reasonable worship. And do not be conformed 
	to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so 
	that you prove what is that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of 
	Alahim.”
	
	 
	
	TEACHINGS OF 
	IZEBEL: WORMWOOD
	
	
	
	Revelation 2 shows us the 
	 teachings 
	of Izebel have corrupted the assembly.
	
	She is the church, aka 
	KIRKE, witchery causing 
	drunkenness through false teachings held in a golden cup, Babel. 
	This woman is mentioned at Rev 18, but called the 
	mother of harlots. 
	
	"To 
	the Torah and to the witness; If they do not speak according to this Word, 
	it is because they have no daybreak." 
	Is. / YashaYahu 8:20 
	
	The terms bride, first-fruits, lake of fire, beast, false 
	prophet, living water, bosom of Abraham, green tree, dry tree, eye of a 
	needle, evil eye, and so on are idioms, which is why they are 
	misunderstood and always have been by the Alexandrian Culture (circus 
	fathers). Izebel was a real person, but at Rev. 2 her teachings are 
	what Yahusha has against the assembly. 
	Izebel, a 
	witch, taught the 10 northern tribes the fertility behavior - and the Christmas 
	tree is one of the remnants. 
	
	
	 
	The 
	
	
	yule
	 
	(Celtic word for feast) at 
	the time of the solstice, the adoption of heathen 
	symbols 
	of 
	fertility, and the shunning of  all 
	Yahuah commanded for us to do 
	(i.e., the rest on the 7th day as Hebrews 4 calls it) is the result 
	of wormwood corrupting our hearts. 
	
	
	 
	By neglecting Shabath, Passover, Unleavened Bread, First-Fruits, 
	Shabuoth, Yom Teruah, Yom Kafar, and Sukkoth we are left with no sign that 
	we serve Yahuah. Resting on Shabath is the sign 
	forever between 
	Yahuah and His people. If we are His people, we have this mark on us; if 
	not, we aren’t His.
	It's called the sign of the  
	everlasting Covenant (Ez 
	20:20, Ex 31:16). Instead we see Christianity inherited the  
	Day of the 
	Sun, enforced by the council of Laodicea (circa 365 CE). This 
	alteration of the Word of Yahuah (Dan. 7:25) is what He calls
	wormwood (Amus 5:7) - and changing His Words is how witchcraft 
	(rebellion) has become institutionalized.
	
	
	WORMWOODACIOUSNESS: FULL-ON NIMROD
	
	
	
	30 years ago, I asked my pastor 
	if it was alright with him if I rested on the 7th day of each week. He said I'd be  
	Judaizing 
	if I did. What was coming out of his mouth was WORMWOOD. There’s no sin for guarding 
	Yahuah's Commandments, yet the circus has people believing 
	wormwoodacious concepts.  
	
	
	 
	If you observe the 
	correct day, they condemn you, all while they chew on a ham sandwich  
	(see 
	YashaYahu 66). 
	
	
	The nations have inherited ONLY falsehood, futility, and there is 
	no value in them (Jer. 16:19). 
	There's no mention in Scripture that resting on the 7th day is any kind of 
	offense at all, but it offends the  teaching authority of men. 
	Natsarim have always rejected the teaching authority 
	of men, and 
	choose instead to obey Yahuah.  
	
	
	The  
	first-fruits  
	(bride, Natsarim) obey the Commandments of Yahuah, 
	and hold to the testimony of Yahusha (Rev. 12 & 14). 
	Bringing a detestable thing into our homes   
	(a 
	tree) 
	makes us accursed like it (Dt. 7).
	The  decorated tree 
	is an occult object of fertility  
	(phallus, testicles, semen), 
	
	as is the wreath (vagina). 
	
	
	This is rebellion (witchcraft),
	
	comes from the 
	teaching authority of Izebel (Rev. 2).
	
	Wormwood leads to madness.
	
	DEFINITION OF PSYCHOSIS:
	
	Psychosis is a loss of contact with 
	reality that usually includes:
	
	False beliefs about 
	what is taking place or who one is (delusions); Seeing or hearing 
	things that aren't there (hallucinations).
	
	A person’s thinking is corrupted when 
	they follow men’s teaching authority, and shun the Torah of Yahuah. If they 
	do not speak according to Torah, they have no light. If they turn their ears
	away from hearing Torah, even their prayer is an abomination 
	 
	(YashaYahu 8:20, Proverbs 28:9).
	
	Pro 28:4: 
	
	“Those who forsake the Torah praise the wrong; 
	Those who guard the Torah strive with them.” 
	
	
	Are you unknowingly practicing witchcraft? 
	Most people are beguiled by traditions, and have very little contact with 
	the Words of Scripture. Using Scripture to evaluate our behavior shows us 
	how witchcraft is employed in unsuspecting ways. Wormwood results in 
	witchcraft.
	
	
	WITCHCRAFT HAS BEEN INSTITUTIONALIZED 
	This hidden witchcraft  
	
	(rebellion) 
	is known 
	by the Greek designation: Christianity. 
	The proof of this rebellion will awaken millions. The best place to hide 
	witchcraft is in plain sight.  
	
	If you 
	hear the Ten Commandments, and they sound unachievable for you, you have 
	been taught this by men, not Yahuah.
	
	You can 
	sense the bitterness in those who speak against trying to guard them.
	
	Yahuah’s 
	Torah is hated, and believed to have been “done away” or “nailed to the 
	crux.” 
	
	The 
	Commandments were not nailed to the tree, but rather the 
	list of our 
	crimes. Yahusha became crime (sin) for us, and He was nailed to the 
	stake for our transgressions, suffering the penalty we legally deserved:
	DEATH.  
	
	
	He 
	substituted His own life for ours.
	
	This list of our crimes, called by the term 
	chierographon, or 
	hand-writing, is a legal term. It is a list of accusations that were 
	“against us” but has been taken out of the hand of our accuser. The 
	misinterpretation and alteration of Scripture has caused a 
	root of 
	bitterness to grow toward our opinion of the Ten Commandments, rather 
	than sin.
	
	
	Kolossians 2:14 has been used by our enemy to deceive us, and caused us to 
	feed on this bitterness, wormwood.
	
	The 
	chierographon lists our sin-debt; it is not the Torah of Yahuah. Due to 
	false teachings of the “fathers”  
	(Catechetical School of 
	Alexandria), 
	we 
	“have inherited 
	only falsehood, 
	futility, and there is no value in them.”
	
	
	YirmeYahu 16:19
	
	This is 
	how the new BYNV translates the Truth of Kolossians 2:14:
	”having 
	blotted-out the certificate of debt against us – by the dogmas – which stood 
	against us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the 
	stake.”  
	
	
	This
	
	certificate of debt is the 
	chierographon, meaning a hand-written list of accusations. It is a legal 
	term, as used by a court prosecutor to list transgressions against an 
	accused person. It literally means hand-writing.
	
	Yahuah’s 
	Torah is not hand-writing, but it is the 
	everlasting Covenant 
	He has declared will endure as long as Heaven and Earth endure (see 
	YirmeYahu 31:36, 37, and Mt. 5:18).
	
	GOT 
	ORDAINED? 
	(see 1 Korinthians 1:10, Jer./YirmeYahu 23:21-32)
	
	
	 
	Christians are taught by men  
	ordained 
	by their denominations. The 
	denominations are variations of Christianity as taught by former elders, and 
	according to their opinions. Ordination means someone is given 
	 
	orders, or an appointment to teach according to a specific teaching 
	authority’s line of instruction. 
	
	
	It 
	grants a person 
	permission to teach 
	within the orderly pattern of their sect. 
	
	
	The 
	ordained is bound and obligated to defend their method of teaching within 
	strict boundaries. 
	
	Many 
	sects forbid their adherents to read outside materials or associate with 
	other denominations. 
	
	
	
	  
	
	In their training they closely 
	study the writings of men called  
	church fathers who were 
	headmasters at the Catechetical School of Alexandria (CSA).  
	
	
	
	
	It is also known 
	as the Didascalia, and de l'Ecole d'Alexandrie.
	 
	This school was founded about 190 CE by 
	Pantaenus, although Eusebius (one of the 
	headmasters in the 4th century) claims it was founded by Mark. This is quite 
	impossible, since this school despised the Natsarim, the followers of 
	Yahusha, labelling them heretics for guarding the Commandments as written, 
	and for possessing Hebrew writings. One of their headmasters, Epiphanius, 
	described the Natsarim as possessing the writings of MattithYahu in Hebrew 
	lettering as it was originally written. Pastors today insist the first 
	followers wrote everything in Greek.
	
	
	
	The 
	revising of history is nothing new.
	
	
	
	Revising
	(altering) 
	
	
	
	anything is 
	a kind of wormwood, since the motive for doing so would have to be because 
	the Truth is a bitter pill to swallow for those who hold tightly to men’s 
	traditions. 
	
	
	
	Exposure 
	to the Truth (the Light) is  
	abhorrent to interlopers posing as  
	
	messengers of Light. 
	
	
	
	What 
	is the end of the entire matter?
	
	
	
	
	 “Let 
	us hear the conclusion of the entire matter:
	
	
	
	Fear Alahim and guard His Commands, for this applies to all mankind! 
	
	
	
	
	For Alahim shall bring every work into right-ruling, including all that
	
	 
	
	
	
	is hidden, whether good or evil.”  
	Eccl. 12:13, 14
	
	
	
	If you 
	learn a custom or ritual originates from pagan behavior, stay away from it.
	
	
	
	Walk as 
	Yahusha walked, and stay in His will at all times. He is always beside you 
	to call on for help and strength to discern. You will hear Him say, 
	
	“This is 
	the Way, walk in it.”
