Led by the Ruach. Following the Shepherd.

 We would like to let you know our views on "Yahuah and Yahusha the Same Being?". We are all at unity on this subject, and unfortunately, we believe a great deception is currently underway, similar to the great deception of "We are in Satan's Little Season". Ezekiel's Key strives to "come out of this world" and the feelings and views of humans, to seek the Scriptures for the true answers from Yah! "Thy Word is Truth" John 17:17 and we are to "test all things; hold fast what is good" 1 Thessalonians 5:21.

The first point in finding the answer to this question, we must answer "Who was the Elohim of the Old Testament"? Many people believe the Elohim of the Old Testament was the Father, or we will use His Name...Yahuah. We will provide all the scriptures necessary to "test" or "prove" the answer to this question. Isaiah 28:9-10 tells us we must put many scriptures together to find the truth about a subject! Satan and his people are masterful at using Yah's Word taken out of context and twisted to an erroneous understanding! Remember Satan knows scripture, but he does not rightly divide the Word!

Let's start with the true "beginning" that was BEFORE Genesis 1, lets start with John 1:1-5, 10, 14, 15, 18. Please read these scriptures very carefully! First of all, the "US" in Genesis 1:26 is fully explained! There were TWO members of the Elohim family present at creation. Remember the Hebrew word "Elohim" is plural! John in his Chapter 1 clearly explains that the Being that was called the "Word" or Spokesman, that WAS Elohim and WAS WITH Elohim (the Father Yahuah) at Creation was the pre-existent Being that would "empty" Himself (Philippians 2:6-10) and become flesh (John 1:14) and die for our sins. It would make no sense how one "Man" could die for the sins of ALL mankind, unless that Man's life was worth more than all of creation combined. Yahusha was the WORD, Elohim, that became flesh, which was the Creator, therefore of more value than His creation.  Please study the following scriptures that prove Yahusha (the Word) was the Creator in Genesis 1 by the power of the Father, Yahuah:

John 1:3
John 1:10
Colossians 1:15-20 (note ALL things are being reconciled to Yahuah THROUGH Yahusha verse 20) Hebrews 1:2
1 Corinthians 8:6

So, putting all these scriptures together, the Truth is that Elohim, the Father, Yahuah is the Creator, and He created through His Son, the Word, also Elohim, the Being that would be born in the flesh as Yahusha! Also known as the "Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (Revelation 13:8). This has been THEIR plan from before Genesis 1 and John 1:1. Read carefully Revelation 5:1-7, which specifically defines the slain Lamb as a different Being as compared to Yahuah on the throne, that the Lamb takes the scroll from. Thy Word is Truth, and Scripture cannot be broken (John 10:35). 

So now that we have determined Yahusha, as the Word, has existed from the beginning with Yahuah, now let's finish off which of these Beings has been dealing with mankind for the past 6,000 years! Yahusha was sent into the world to reconcile all things to the Father Yahuah! See Romans 5:10, 2 Corinthians 5:18-21, Ephesians 2:16, and Colossians 1:19-21. Also see John 1:18, John 5:37 (also read verse 36 and 38 proving the TWO are separate), John 6:46, and 1 John 4:12! It's almost like John KNEW the end time deceptions were coming! John made it clear that no man has seen the Father Yahuah, or heard His Voice at any time! So Who did Moses, the 70 elders, and ancient Israel HEAR and SEE at Mt. Sinai? None other than the Word, Yahusha, our Savior! Don't be deceived by Bible translators that did not translate LORD vs Lord correctly! Knowing the term they chose to use means Baal in Hebrew! We do not put our trust in man, but we trust in Yah! Jeremiah 17:5.

With this in mind, please ask yourself reading these scriptures, Who were these men speaking with? Genesis 18:1-3, the Elohim of Israel presented Himself to Abraham and Sarah with two angels, Genesis 18:25 and 27 (Abraham knew exactly Who he was in the presence of!).

Abraham knew Yahusha, as the Word, was to be the Judge of the whole earth! Psalm 58:11, Romans 14:10, and John 5:22-27. Notice carefully verse 26, that answers your comment about 1 Timothy 6:16. Elohim and the Word both have life inherent, but the Word emptied Himself! No one could take His life, but He  voluntarily laid it down for us, but took it up again, and Yahuah restored His position at His right hand and also restored His inherent life! John 10:17-18. See Acts 13:30-35, it is clear Yahuah resurrected Yahusha from the dead. Yahusha had emptied Himself to become fully human. Where would He be to this day had not His Father, Yahuah,

raised Him from the dead? Who was at that time upholding all things by His power from the heavens? Yahuah, the Father! The Word had laid down His life to become flesh and give His life a ransom for all, He was dead in Sheol for 3 days and 3 nights. Please believe the plain words of Scripture. This is exactly what happened! Let's look at some more Scriptures that show Yahusha as the Elohim of ancient Israel and the Old Testament: 1 Corinthians 10:1-4, John 8:56-59 (Yahusha Himself is explaining He WAS/IS the Great I AM! Of course, the "Jews" knew EXACTLY what He was saying, and that's why they took up stones to kill Him, because He said He was the Elohim of ancient Israel), Mathew 22:42-45, Hebrews 1:5-13, Hebrews 13:8, Mathew 12:8 (Yahusha is Master of the Sabbath....why?

Genesis 2:2-3, we have already proven Yahusha as the Creator by Whom Yahuah created all things!).

Who spoke at Mt. Sinai? Exodus 20:1, 20:19-22....remember John 5:37? No one has "heard His (Yahuah's) voice at any time, nor seen His form".....the VOICE at Sinai was none other than the Word, the Being that would become Yahusha! This is the Elohim of Israel, the HUSBAND to

ancient Israel. It has NEVER BEEN Yahuah, never! It has always been Yahusha! He WAS married to Israel, and you are right, He had to die to marry again, just as He has, and will marry again His bride of the first resurrection! Revelation 19:9, the "marriage supper of the Lamb!" we have already identified the Lamb as none other than Yahusha, not the Father Yahuah! The Wedding Feast described in Mathew 22 is clearly Yahuah arranging a marriage and wedding for His Son, Yahusha! And Who is choosing this bride for His Son? The bride that will not fail Him or ever stray as ancient Israel did! See John 10:25-33 (specifically verse 29) and John 6:44 and John 6:65, it is Yahuah that sends out the invitations just as Mathew 22:2-3 states. No one has seen

or heard Yahuah at any time, John 5:37, out of Yahusha's own mouth; however, prophets and others have seen Yahuah in VISION, but not in their physical presence, examples are Isaiah 6:1-

6, and John in Revelation. Only seraphim flank the Father's throne in the heavens; cherubim are around Yahusha's traveling throne such as seen by Ezekiel (Chapter 1). John saw Yahuah in vision in Revelation Chapter 4. Notice, seraphim have 6 wings and cherubim have 4 wings. It was a rare thing in Scripture for anyone to see Yahuah even in vision!

Exodus 24:9-11: Moses, Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu and seventy elders of Israel "saw the Elohim of Israel", and "they saw Elohim, and they ate and drank". This cannot be Yahuah as proven out earlier. Numbers 12:5-9, Miriam and Aaron heard Him, and He stated that He spoke to Moses "face to face"! Joshua 1:1, Joshua 5:13-15....I could go on and on with Scriptures that prove out many of the fathers and prophets saw and spoke with the Elohim of Israel, which was the Word

that would become Yahusha, but I will leave those for you to dig for!

1 Enoch 46:1-6 also declares the Son of Man being at the right hand of Yahuah prior to the coming of Yahusha in the flesh. John 10:29 and John 14:28, Yahusha Himself declares that Yahuah is "greater than I"; also see John 20:17, clearly Yahusha declares Yahuah to be His Father and Elohim, the distinct Being that has the preeminence above all! The "Head of Days" as described in 1 Enoch 46:1-2 is described in Daniel 7:13 as the "Ancient of Days". Daniel 7:13-14

is the vision Daniel saw of Yahuah, the Ancient of Days, crowning the Son of Man, Yahusha, as the King of kings and Elohim of Elohims (reference Revelation 19:11-16).

Who was Melchizedek? Genesis 14, Psalm 110, Hebrews 5, Hebrews 7:2-3 "without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of Elohim, remains a priest continually". Again, Abraham recognized this Great

Being as the Elohim of Israel, that would become the High Priest forever!

Another powerful proof is Yahusha praying fervently many times to His Father Yahuah. Two specific examples of many are: 1. John 11:40-42, the resurrection of Lazarus and 2. The

powerful prayer of Yahusha to Yahuah, His Father, begging that if possible, for the cup to pass from Him! Mathew 26:39-44, He prayed to His Father three times....proving He is clearly not praying to Himself. He said He came to do the will of His Father and that is exactly what He did! See John 5:30 and John 8:28 more powerful Scriptures.

I will end on this sobering warning... 1 John 2:21-26....verse 22-23 especially "Who is a liar but he who denies that Yahusha is the Messiah? He is antichrist who denies the Father AND the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also". Clearly stating two Beings just as from the beginning. If you deny One you

deny the Other! This IS the spirit of antichrist! Acts 4:10-12, Yahuah raised Yahusha from the dead, but by no other Name are we to be saved! Yahusha is the High Priest, of the order of Melchizedek that is reconciling the creation to Yahuah, the unseen and unheard Father in

heaven. Yahusha is our Mediator until we are reconciled and made perfect! Then and only then will we see and hear Yahuah while being presented on the sea of glass at the first resurrection,

Revelation 14. Until then, no one has seen or heard Yahuah, the Father at all. Amen.

With the lunar calendar, the Holy Days move and sometimes coincide with the Sabbath. Over a decade of calendar confusion, fasting and prayers, we have come to the Scriptural conclusion that Yah’s true calendar is the Zadok calendar as set forth in 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and fully supported by the rest of Scripture. We at Ezekiel’s Key stick to Scripture to determine New Year’s on Yah’s calendar. The first day of the first month is always Weekday #4, but this does not always coincide with the Gregorian Wednesday!

Please reference this year’s Yah’s true Zadok calendar under resources, especially Month 1 for this response. As you can see, the first day of the first month is ALWAYS Day #4 of Yah’s week (please go back to our video explaining how we come to that conclusion if needed). Because of this, Day #14 of the first month, Passover, WILL ALWAYS be Day #3 of the week, and Day #15 of the first month, the First Day of Unleavened Bread, WILL ALWAYS be Day #4 of the week. It is impossible on Yah’s calendar for Passover (Weekday #3) and the Sabbath (Weekday #7) to ever overlap. It

never happens and it’s not documented anywhere in Scripture!

The events within Joshua Chapter 5 will prove this out! Let’s go back to Yah’s specific directions in Leviticus 23. Leviticus 23 provides documentation of Yah’s Feast Days and Holy Days in

chronological order within His calendar. Read Leviticus 23:5-16 carefully while viewing Month 1 of Yah’s calendar. Passover is the EVENING of the 14th day of the first month (it is not considered Holy time because the entire Feast is during the evening, twilight to just before sunrise). Verse 6 is the first Holy Time and is during the day of the 15th, the First Day of Unleavened Bread. Unleavened Bread is specifically for 7 days, the first Day (15th) is a Holy Convocation and the last Day (21st) is a Holy Convocation. Each Day of ULB we are commanded

to eat unleavened bread (Leviticus 23:6 and Exodus 12:15).

Now, let’s keep reading in Leviticus 23, during the above days of ULB, there is absolutely no mention of a wave sheaf, correct? From the 14th day through the 21st day of the first month, no LEAVEN shall be found, but we are COMMANDED to eat unleavened bread! Leviticus 23:10,

here we go with relevant Joshua 5 directions, here is the first mention of the “sheaf of the first fruits to your harvest”. Verse 11 tells us when it is to be waved...on the Day AFTER the Sabbath.

MOST folks ASSUME this is the Sabbath WITHIN the days of Unleavened Bread, but is this correct? The Sabbath within the Days of Unleavened bread is always the 18th day of the first month, which always occurs on the 7th day of the week. We have to keep reading Scripture to determine which Sabbath Yah is speaking of here! We know from verse 11, it has to be the 1st day of the week, a day after the Sabbath. Verses 12 and 13 provide additional sacrifices required on the wave sheaf of the first fruits. Read carefully Leviticus 23:14, this is the key! “You shall eat neither bread nor parched grain nor fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohim; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings”. This verse is extremely important and Yah even states this is a statue FOREVER! So, IF the day after the Sabbath within ULB is the correct wave sheaf offering time, then we have two contradictory commands from Yahuah! You cannot be commanded to EAT ULB at the same time

you are commanded to eat NO BREAD, parched or fresh! Examine Exodus 12:15, Leviticus 23:6 vs. Leviticus 23:14. Yah is not the “author of confusion” and He does not contradict Himself! Scripture cannot be broken (John 10:35).

The simple answer is the wave sheaf of the first fruits and offering is simply the day AFTER THE SABBATH AFTER the Days of Unleavened Bread are completed! This also completely matches

the chronological order of the Feast Days and Holy Days listed out in Leviticus 23. The first fruit wave sheaf and offering occurs AFTER the Days of Unleavened Bread. This Sabbath is always the 25th day of the first month! Wave sheaf day is always the 26th day of the first month! We are commanded to consume no bread or grain at all whether parched or fresh from the END of the seven days of ULB UNTIL the wave sheaf has been offered on the 26th day of the first month.

Again, please study Yah’s directions in Leviticus 23:5-16 while viewing these days clearly documented within His attached calendar.

Now, Joshua Chapter 5 should make perfect sense. Joshua 5:10-11. Joshua simply kept the Days of Unleavened Bread, correctly eating unleavened bread using the parched grain already found

and stored in the land. They did NOT consume fresh grain just cut, because they could not harvest any new grain until the 26th day of the first month. The “parched” or “roasted” or “old grain” of the land is what was consumed by Joshua and Israel during the Passover and the seven Days of Unleavened Bread. They would have obeyed the voice of Yah to also not consume any bread or grain from the last Day of Unleavened bread (21st) until the wave sheaf was offered

(26th) day. There are no contradictions with Joshua Chapter 5 and Leviticus 23 or Exodus 12 in the instructions given by Yah through Moses!

Note, the Day of Pentecost is always the 15th day of the third month on Yah’s calendar, exactly 50 days from the wave sheaf offering just as Leviticus 23:16 describes. Pentecost is always the

day following a Sabbath as well.

A New Testament proof of the first fruit wave sheaf observance can be found in Acts 20:6-7.

Notice Paul and his men “sailed away from Philippi AFTER THE DAYS OF UNLEAVENED BREAD” and in FIVE days joined them at Troas...” Notice, Paul would NOT have left the ship on the Last

Day of Unleavened Bread, because this is Holy time. He left on the 22nd and arrived on the 26th of the first month! THE DAY of the wave sheaf offering! Verse 7 proves this out: “Now on the first day of the week (day after the Sabbath, Leviticus 23:11), when the disciples came together

to break bread....spoke to them and continued his message until midnight”. Paul’s Sabbath is not the first day of the week, like many try to spin this Scripture to say, but he was keeping the first fruits! They gathered together to “break bread” in celebration of the wave sheaf of the first fruits, the time they could actually enjoy bread together again after the days of Unleavened Bread! 

Praise YAHUAH for His Truth and understanding!

We pray this message will be helpful in your understanding of Joshua 5 and how they kept Passover, the Days of Unleavened Bread, and the first fruits wave sheaf!
