Pray for Ararat
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In the past, some have given us feedback saying that our use
of definitions adds too much content to the message. We
have been convicted by the Holy Spirit that WORDS are VERY
important, they have significance and we should NEVER take
them lightly as it is part of our Father's command that we
should STUDY to show ourselves approved that we might
RIGHTLY divide (understand and use) His Word of Truth.
Having said that, it is even MORE important that we
understand that it is ULTIMATELY His Spirit that will lead
and guide us into all truth. The Spirit always works in
harmony with His Holy Word to bring understanding to the
simple. (Psa 119:30, Joh 15:26)
So you see, words and names are very important which is why
we want to invite you to visit our resource section and do
some reading and study on the importance and BLESSING of
knowing and using our heavenly Father's Name.

We will use His correct Name as we continue this study.

You may be wondering what is "Ararat?" It comes from the
oldest language on the planet, Hebrew. We will be sharing
indisputable evidence with you in the future how we know
this to be true and how the Scriptures themselves testify
to this interesting truth.
0780 \^trra\^ 'Ararat {ar-aw-rat'}
Ararat = "the curse reversed: precipitation of curse"
1) a mountainous region of eastern Armenia, between
the river Araxes and the lakes Van and Oroomiah,
the site where Noah's ark came to rest
The Scriptures say that while Noah and his family and cargo
were in the ark something happened outside:
All in whose nostrils was the *breath of life*, of all that
was in the dry land, died. Gen 7:22
05397 \^hmvn\^ n at shamah {nesh-aw-maw'}
1) breath, spirit
1a) breath (of God)
1b) breath (of man)
The spirit of man is the candle of Yahweh, searching all the
inward parts of the belly. Pro 20:27
The word "candle" comes from the Hebrew word lamp which has
been sometimes translated into English as candle or light.
It is clear from this study that the spirit of man and the
breath of life are not only one and the same but, given
by Yahweh. Gen 7:22, Zec 12:1, Ecc 3:21
And Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil continually. Gen 6:5
The Scriptures say that there is nothing new under the sun.
Ecc 1:9 There is a pattern found in the Scriptures from
beginning to end. Those who endeavor to keep Yahweh's
commands and statutes are given protection and blessing
and those who stray from Him and forget His laws end up
in all kinds of trouble and pain. Now there is only ONE
Way to get to Yahweh and that is through His only begotten
Son. He is the ONLY way (Joh 10:7,9 Joh 14:6)
And there is no deliverance in anyone else, for there is
no other Name under the heaven given among men by which we
need to be saved. Act 4:12
Wherefore Elohim also hath highly exalted Him, and given
Him the Name which is above every name: Php 2:9
If you have ever wonder what that Name we are supposed to
baptise in, what Name is our strong tower, what the Name we
are supposed to pray in and what Name we must be saved in
then you will surely want to visit our resource section and
read and study more on this exciting subject. We have an
audio testimony of a young brother who is on fire for the
kingdom who recently came to understand this. You can
listen at:
<a href="http://Radio.MarriageHealing.ORG/Yahweh.htm">This

"How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who
prophesy lies? Indeed they are prophets of the deceit of
their own heart, who try to make My people forget My name
by their dreams which everyone tells his neighbor, as
their fathers forgot My name for Baal."(LORD) Jer 23:26,27
We see with the flood that our heavenly Father choose to
cleanse of sin the sin of the world by the washing of water.
Now it was an extreme bath to be sure but it did clean things
right up. In Ephesians chapter FIVE (5), we see a picture of
this same principle in the lives of those who are called and
elect. The washing away of sins through the "water" of the
Word so that the Bride of the Master would be without spot or
wrinkle or blemish. Are you getting a DAILY washing? Most
people put more importance on washing their skin each day and
make time for that, than they do upon the washing of their
soul and the renewing of their spirit with the Word...
And Elohim spake unto Noah, saying, Go forth of the ark,
thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with
thee. Gen 8:15-16
SPOKE TO!
Yahweh changes not! Mal 3:6, Heb 13:8
Our heavenly Father has never changed and He spoke very clearly
and specifically to His people long ago and He still does the
same today. If you are not hearing His voice, clearly and
specifically then we encourage you to forsake religion and all
its rituals in exchange for RELATIONSHIP with the only Living
Elohim. He DESIRES to speak with you if you will seek Him
with ALL your heart. Jer 29:13 Listen to what He has to say
about this:
Out of heaven He made thee to hear His voice, that He
might instruct thee: and upon earth He shewed thee His
great fire; and thou heardest His words out of the midst
of the fire. Deu 4:36
Elsewhere the Master, Yahushua says that His sheep HEAR HIS
VOICE and FOLLOW that voice. Joh 10:27 I ask you again,
are YOU hearing His voice clearly and specifically? If not,
this is the best day to surrender. To REPENT. To get cleansed
from every spot, stain, blemish and wrinkle. Look at what
the prophet Isaiah wrote on this matter:
But your crookednesses have separated you from your Elohim.
And your sins have hidden His face from you, from hearing..
Isaiah 59:2
What was the FIRST things Noah did when he departed the
ark? He built an altar to Yahweh and worshipped Him. v18
What was the result? Yahweh smelled a soothing fragrance
and Yahweh said in His heart "Never again shall I curse
the ground because of man, although the inclination of
man's heart is evil from his youth, and never again smite
all living creatures, as I have done. v 21
by the way... seedtime and harvest found in the next verse
is Yahweh's reference to seeds (for crops, sometimes the
seed of the womb-our children) and harvest (for crops).
This term, used by merchandisers of the gospel, to entice
or compel giving to their religious fund is unscriptural
and NEVER occurs elsewhere in the set-apart Scriptures.
If you have never done so, we encourage you to read the
e-book available on our site called "The Tithe that Binds"

Notice also the pattern of our Elohim in dealing with His
children. In the garden we find Him instructing Adam as
follows: And Elohim blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and
multiply... Gen 1:22
Here at the beginning of Noah's life after the flood we
see Yahweh repeating the very same instruction:
And Elohim blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Gen 9:1
Yahweh repeats that admonition again just a bit later.
He wanted Noah to be sure and take note. v7 He also makes
reference to the "seed" of Noah which was Noah's children
not Noah's dollar bills.
We also see the clear principles of speaking life and speaking
death over our children in this story. Noah worked hard
one day in the field, had some wine and became drunk and the
scriptures indicate that Kena'an (Caanan) uncovered him
while he was sleeping. When he awoke the Scriptures say that
"he knew what his younger son had done to him." So Noah
uttered the following declaration from his mouth: "Cursed
is Kena'an, let him become a servant of servants to his brothers."
Noah went on to decree "Let Elohim enlarge Yepheth (Japheth)
and let him dwell in the tents of Shem. And let Kena'an become
his servant." Study will bear out that what Noah decreed
certainly came to pass (Job 22:28)
Yepheth which means "opened" was the 3rd son of Noah whose
descendants after the flood settled on the coastal lands of
the Mediterranean spreading north into Europe and parts of
Asia.
By contrast Kena'an which means "lowland" was the 4th son of
Ham and the forefather of the Phoenicians and of the various
nations who peopled the seacoast of Palestine It is the land
west of the Jordan peopled by the descendants of Kena'an and
subsequently conquered by the Israelites under Joshua. We'd
like to encourage you to listen to the audio message
entitled "Kidding about Kids" as we have taught much more on
this powerful principle of speaking life and death over our
children. You can listen at:
http://Radio.MarriageHealing.ORG/kidding.htm

One of Kena'an's sons was named Heth which means "terror"
and he was the ancestor of the peoples we know as the
Hittites; once inhabitants of central Anatolia (modern
Turkey), later in north Lebanon. This was one of the early
seats of what we know today as Islam.
Yahweh had something to say beyond what Noah said regarding
this line of peoples which came forth from Kena'an (the
Caananites):
But of the cities of these peoples which Yahweh your God
gives you as an inheritance, you shall let nothing that
breathes remain alive, but you shall utterly destroy
them -- the Hittite, Amorite, Canaanite, Perizzite,
Hivite, and Jebusite -- just as Yahweh your God has
commanded you, lest they teach you to do according to
all their abominations which they have done for their
gods, and you sin against Yahweh your God (Deuteronomy
20: 16-18).
So Joshua [Moses' successor] conquered all the land: the
mountain country and the South and the lowland and the
wilderness slopes, and all their kings; he left none
remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as
Yahweh God of Israel had commanded (Joshua 10:40).
Although Yahweh instructed His people to utterly destroy
these "terrorists" coming forth from Kena'an and Heth, it
was never given as a perpetual command. By contrast, however,
the Koran (the religious book of Islam) says the following:
Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the
pagans wherever you find them -- take them [captive],
besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if
they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due
[i.e. submit to Islam], then leave their way free. Lo!
Allah is Forgiving, Merciful (9:5). (KORAN)
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day,
nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by
Allah and His Messenger [i.e. Islamic law], nor
acknowledge the religion of Truth [i.e. Islam], from the
people of the book [i.e. Jews and Christians], until
they pay tribute with willing submission, and feel
themselves utterly subdued (9:29). (KORAN)
Famous Muslim scholar and "father of modern history" Ibn
Khaldun articulates the dichotomy between jihad and
defensive warfare thus:
In the Muslim community, the holy war [i.e. jihad] is a
religious duty, because of the universalism of the Muslim
mission and the obligation to convert everybody to Islam
either by persuasion or by force... The other religious
groups did not have a universal mission, and the holy war
was not a religious duty for them, save only for purposes of
defense... They are merely required to establish their
religion among their own people. That is why the Israeilites
after Moses and Joshua remained unconcerned with royal
authority [e.g. a "caliphate"]. Their only concern was to
establish their religion [not to spread it to the nations]...
But Islam is under obligation to gain power over other
nations (The Muqudimmah, vol. 1 pg. 473, emphasis added).
At no time did Yahweh give an open-ended command for the
Hebrews, and by extension their descendants the Jews, to
fight and kill gentiles. Thus we see the contrast between
national self-defense and national terrorism. And
furthermore there are principles (laws) which govern and
define the differences between national responsibilities and
individuals ones.
There is a legacy which began with the curse that was born
when Noah's son Kena'an sinned against his father and
against Yahweh. But the children of Yahweh are free from
that curse. It is the world which still suffers from that
curse. Just as in Noah's day, there had to be a cleansing
of sin, there has to be one today. Not only the supreme
cleansing which has been offered by the redemptive work of
Yahushua's blood sacrificed but a personal cleansing which
is done through repentance, confession and the keeping of
Yahweh's commands. (Meditate upon Psalm 119)
They ALL go together. The book of James as well as many,
many other, practically the ENTIRE Scriptures makes it plain
that faith WITHOUT works IS DEAD. If you have never
listened, we strongly encourage you to listen to the
teaching on our Radio site entitled "Keep my commandments"

There is awesome and incredible BLESSING in giving up your
self-image, surrendering pride, casting out religion, and
truly humbling yourself. Seek Yahweh with all your heart
to know Him and to exalt His Son and to keep His statutes
by the power and the grace given you by His mighty hand.
No man can do so apart from Messiah, Yahushua. (Joh 15:5)
We pray for Ararat in your life...
