Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and had a son. And he called his name Noah, saying, “This one will comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which Yahusha has cursed.” After he begot Noah, Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years; and he died. And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth."
Let's also look at the similar passage in 1 Enoch. Chapter 106-107: "1 And after some days my son Methuselah took a wife for his son Lamech, and she became 2 pregnant by him and bore a son. And his body was white as snow and red as the blooming of a rose, and the hair of his head and his long locks were white as wool, and his eyes beautiful. And when he opened his eyes, he lighted up the whole house like the sun, and the whole house 3 was very bright. And thereupon he arose in the hands of the midwife, opened his mouth, and conversed with Yahusha our Righteousness. 4 And his father Lamech was afraid of him and 5 fled, and came to his father Methuselah. And he said unto him: ' I have begotten a strange son, diverse from and unlike man, and resembling the sons of Yahuah ; and his nature is different and he is not like us, and his eyes are as the rays of the sun, and his 6 countenance is glorious. And it seems to me that he is not sprung from me but from the angels, and I fear that in his days a wonder may be 7 wrought on the earth. And now, my father, I am here to petition thee and implore thee that thou mayest go to Enoch, our father, and learn from him the truth, for his dwelling-place is 8 amongst the angels.' And when Methuselah heard the words of his son, he came to me to the ends of the earth; for he had heard that I was there, and he cried aloud, and I heard his voice and I came to him. And I said unto him: ' Behold, here am I, my son, wherefore hast 9 thou come to me ? ' And he answered and said: ' Because of a great cause of anxiety have I come to thee, and because of a disturbing vision 10 have I approached. And now, my father, hear me: unto Lamech my son there hath been born a son, the like of whom there is none, and his nature is not like man's nature, and the colour of his body is whiter than snow and redder than the bloom of a rose, and the hair of his head is whiter than white wool, and his eyes are like the rays of the sun, and he opened his eyes and 11 thereupon lighted up the whole house. And he arose in the hands of the midwife, and opened 12 his mouth and blessed Yahusha of Heaven. And his father Lamech became afraid and fled to me, and did not believe that he was sprung from him, but that he was in the likeness of the angels of heaven; and behold I have come to thee that thou mayest make known to me the truth.' And I, Enoch, answered and said unto him: 'Yahuah will do a new thing on the earth, and this I have already seen in a vision, and make known to thee that in the generation of my father Jared some of the angels of heaven transgressed the Word of Yahusha. And behold they commit sin and transgress the Law, and have united themselves with women and commit sin with them, and have married some of them, and have begot children by them. And they shall produce on the earth giants not according to the spirit, but according to the flesh, and there shall be a great punishment on the earth, and the earth shall be cleansed from all impurity. Yea, there shall come a great destruction over the whole earth, and there shall be a deluge and 16 a great destruction for one year. And this son who has been born unto you shall be left on the earth, and his three children shall be saved with him: when all mankind that are on the earth 8 shall die [he and his sons shall be saved]. And now make known to thy son Lamech that he who has been born is in truth his son, and call his name Noah; for he shall be left to you, and he and his sons shall be saved from the destruction, which shall come upon the earth on account of all the sin and all the unrighteousness, which shall be consummated on the earth in his days. And after that there shall be still more unrighteousness than that which was first consummated on the earth; for I know the mysteries of the holy ones; for He, the Lord, has showed me and informed me, and I have read (them) in the heavenly tablets. [Chapter 107] "1 And I saw written on them that generation upon generation shall transgress, till a generation of righteousness arises, and transgression is destroyed and sin passes away from the earth, and all 2 manner of good comes upon it. And now, my son, go and make known to thy son Lamech that this 3 son, which has been born, is in truth his son, and that (this) is no lie.' And when Methuselah had heard the words of his father Enoch-for he had shown to him everything in secret-he returned and showed (them) to him and called the name of that son Noah; for he will comfort the earth after all the destruction." Noah was an albino black. The most important thing that we can learn from this is that like his great grandfather Enoch he walked with Yahuah; that the Law was written before Moses and this one will comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which Yahusha has cursed.” A true living relationship is building up here.
Genesis 12:1-3. "Yahusha had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” Abram's calling is in there but most importantly the relationship is progressing, righteous nations and peoples are going forward and a basis for our faith today is evident.
Next passage. Exodus 19:1-6. (At Mount Sinai.) "On the first day of the third month after the Israelites left Egypt—on that very day—they came to the Desert of Sinai. After they set out from Rephidim, they entered the Desert of Sinai, and Israel camped there in the desert in front of the mountain. Then Moses went up to Yahuah , and Yahusha called to him from the mountain and said, “This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.” Interestingly the mention carried of eagles' wings here refers to them walking. Most importantly here, though, is if you obey me fully and keep my covenant... Moses didn't write the Law, as we've already seen, he updated it but "I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse". If the Israelites keep His Covenant but, of course, we know they don't. Neither do we the Gentiles for that matter but a few do - both Jew and Gentile. AMaN.
There's a passage in the Gospel too. John 17:1-5. "After Yahusha said this, He looked toward Heaven and prayed: “Yahuah , the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You. For You granted Him authority over all people that He might give Eternal Life to all those You have given Him. Now this is Eternal Life: that they know You, Yahuah, and Yahusha, whom You have sent. I have brought You Glory on earth by finishing the work You gave Me to do. And now, Yahuah, glorify Me in Your Presence with the Glory I had with You before the world began." Many would say that Grace has replaced Law but here we see it was in existence long before Moses and progresses along with us through the ages. Thus, 10 is the number of DIVINE ORDER OR LAW. Yod or ten is the number of the Law bringing order. The number eight indicates a new beginning, a new birth in a believer. Nine is visitation and manifests the Ruach HaKodesh’s leading (learning to discern right and wrong) in the life of the believer, and acts as a witness against the unbeliever to expose the secrets of his heart. In other words, it manifests the actual sentence of the Law (the evidence) the Judge reveals the Law." It's timeless and leads us in righteousness. There it is in 1 Enoch 106:3.
Acts 1:20 - 2:4. “For,” said Peter, “it is written in the Book of Psalms: “‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, “‘May another take his place of leadership.’ Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time Yahusha was living among us, beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Yahusha was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection.” So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. Then they prayed, “Yahusha , You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.” Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles. (The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost.) When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from Heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with Ruach HaKodesh and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them." This is just an empowering and comforting to spread the Gospel. It shouldn't be taken as something separate or beginning anew. Righteousness and relationship have been there since the start - whatever that is!
Hebrews 11:5-12. "By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because Yahuah had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased Yahuah. And without faith it is impossible to please Him, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in Holy Fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the Righteousness that is in keeping with faith.
By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. (And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered Him faithful who had made the promise. And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore."
Let's get to the point of all this. It's written in the Hebrew Bible including 1 Enoch and a few other books which the Vatican has taken out. Yes, the Vatican. In 1 John 2:18-27 we read: "Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the Truth. I do not write to you because you do not know the Truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the Truth. Who is the liar? It is whoever denies YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH. Such a person is the antichrist—denying Yahuah and Yahusha. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is what He promised us—Eternal Life. I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. As for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit— just as it has taught you, remain in Him." These are the ones who departed and set up Rome. We find other interesting information about them.
Revelation 2:1-7. “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of Him who holds the seven stars in His right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands. I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for My Name, and have not grown weary. Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. But you have this in your favour: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. Whoever has ears, let them hear what Ruach HaKodesh says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the Tree of Life, which is in the Paradise of Yahuah." Apostles who claim to be but aren't. Hmmm. Who wrote book of the Ephesians? Let's go on. Who's the thirteenth apostle? Who wrote thirteen books in the New Testament? Answer: Paul/Saul. What does number thirteen mean? It means rebellion. What remains of NT if we remove Paul's and his friends Luke and Mark? Not much. Take a look at this passage of Scripture concerning his conversion: (Acts 9:3-9.) "As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from Heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?” “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.
“I Am Yahusha, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything." I might be wrong but isn't Saul trying to take the place of our Saviour. Look at the underlined part carefully. Why would Father allow this? He allowed the serpent to deceive Adam and the seed of mankind to be tempted in the garden. Why wouldn't He allow this to see who really wants the relationship with Him? We know that Enoch from a time before Moses is in Hebrews 11. Having said that Hebrews was written by Luke so do we include that? It is already demonstrated that we can read 1 Enoch and Enoch's other books to see this. Likewise, already stated, "As for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His Anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in Him." (1 John 2:27.)
So it's shown we need to be careful how to read the Scriptures. Paul represents a different Gospel to those who were with Yahusha. They never taught him and only he ever called himself an apostle. He marks a move towards the "Vatican Bible" deceiving us. Jesus was created in 325 A.D. along with Mary as an alternative name along with Christians and Christianity by Constantine at the First Council of Nicaea. Why wouldn't you want to use His set apart names I use above? Keep yourself pure until the end.
