Luke quotes Messiah as making a very strong accusation against the Pharisees and a warning for us:
“Woe unto you, lawyers! For ye have taken away the key of knowledge, ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.” (Luke 11:52)
What is this “Key of knowledge”? What we know is that in the time of the Messiah, it was prohibited by rabbinical authorities to pronounce or use the sacred name of Yahweh. Only the high priest and a chosen few were permitted to speak this name and then only under special circumstances. Jewish resources call the name of Yahweh, the ineffable name or unutterable name.
This old Jewish belief has influenced the modern translations of the English Bible. Instead of using the name Yahweh, the title, LORD, has been substituted.
For many years I prayed in the name that the English translations taught me. The translators themselves fell victim to the Pharisees that Yahshua warned us about. They, and I, used the titles LORD or GOD. But this is not what the Scriptures tell us to do! The book of Joel 2:32 tells us this: “whosoever shall call upon the name of Yahweh (English says LORD) shall be delivered.” Are you really able to be saved by a substituted title?
When I was in the military performing guard duty, I was told to stop all persons desiring to enter the camp and ask them for the password. The correct password was a very important requirement to enter the military installation. There was only one acceptable password and not knowing it could have some very serious consequences. Whoever did not have the requested password could be denied admission, arrested or even shot. The scripture in Joel is very clear that it must be the name of Yahweh. No alternative is offered. The key of knowledge or the password is only the name of Yahweh.
David tells us in Psalm 3:8 that: “salvation belongeth unto Yahweh”. He tells us very clearly that is the name of Yahweh that is the source of salvation.
Luke quotes Joel 2:30 in Acts 4:12: “There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” David knew this, Luke knew it and so did the Pharisees and of course Satan. To hide this name and make it unavailable was to prevent others from “entering in”. Messiah knew what was happening and left a warning for us.
Yes, I said FOR US! Messiah “hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world.” (Ephesians 1:4) He has known each and everyone that he has set apart. The Son has chosen us but who calls us? It is the Father, Yahweh. John 6: 44 confirms this: “no man can come to me (that is, Messiah) except the Father which has sent me draw him.” Therefore, if we know the name of Yahweh and have left substitutes behind, this is a gift from the Father.
The name of Yahweh is very valuable and necessary. Without this name you will not find the Son and learn the Son’s true name. The Son had a human name, which was blotted out, Yahshua, not Jesus. The Son also inherited a new name, YahwehShua. Without this key of knowledge, your baptism is invalid. Without this valid baptism you will be unable to fulfill the requirements of the Passover. This will keep you from being in the better resurrection when Messiah returns.
Billions of people have been created but only 144,000 will be in the better resurrection. (Revelation 14:1) You could be in this very select company! Called and chosen is only the beginning. To be in the better resurrection, you must also be faithful and overcome to the end. (Revelation 17:14)
If hearing or reading this message interests you, that is a gift from the Father. He will lead you further. However, you must first use the key of knowledge. Matthew 28: 19 reveals the key to a valid baptism: “the name [singular] of the Father, and of the Son.” What name is unique to the Father and the Son of the Yahweh family? It is YahwehShua, Yahweh Saviour.
The world is deceived FOR NOW. During this age only those called and chosen have been given access to the knowledge necessary to overcome to the better resurrection. In the Last Great Day, the rest of the world will have the same opportunity we enjoy at this time. They will be made aware of the key of knowledge and receive the down payment of the spirit. It is then up to them to decide whether or not they wish to overcome.
To begin, you must pray to Yahweh for truth. This important beginning is confirmed by Messiah in Matthew 6: 9: “after this manner therefore, pray ye: our Father which art in heaven”. Messiah has given us the key of knowledge. Of course, you must know the Father’s name. His name is Yahweh. You cannot use LORD or GOD! There is only one password or key of knowledge that is acceptable.
Do you know that the whole world has been deceived? We are warned about this in Revelation 12:9: “ the devil, and Satan, which deceiveth THE WHOLE WORLD”. Leave this deception behind and pray to Yahweh for truth. Messiah provides this promise in Luke 11:10:
“For everyone that asketh, receiveth;
and he that seeketh, findeth;
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
What a refreshing message of hope!
Do you need some hope? Here it is. But you have to do something! You must pray to Yahweh for truth.
If you don’t ask…….
If you don’t seek….
If you don’t knock…
The key of knowledge will not be of use to you. May Yahweh guide you.
