Dear Brothers and Sisters in IAUA (ee-ah-oo-ah) our Father,
Greetings on this day of preparation for the weekly Sabbath. I pray this newsletter finds you in good health and happy in the service of IAUA. This is the 17th day of the 9th month of God's Sacred Calendar in the estimated year 6013 Anno Mundi. It is 16 weeks and 5 days until the Spring Sabbaths begin on the evening of the 15th day of the 1st month (Wednesday, March 31 on the 2010 Gregorian Calendar, beginning sunset on Tuesday, March 30). This year, those who follow the Millerite Calendar determination will be one month later than my research has determined for the Gregorian Calendar dates for God's Sacred Calendar. The dates on the Jewish Calendar are one day earlier in the spring and one day early in the fall. _____ Week before last I had a thrilling experience. I sent a copy of the first book a few months ago to a new correspondent. I received a package from this person with some articles from their website and a letter expressing appreciation for the book. Though the letter said they were not in complete harmony with everything I said, I was shocked when they said a check for $50 was enclosed. They requested whatever additional number of books this would cover for cost and shipping. I am sure you can understand how pleased an author feels when they see such a clear indication of appreciation for their work. It is also thrilling to see an interest in spreading the word of the Third Elijah Message and the call to "Remember the Law of Moses". I immediately called and asked, "How many books can you use?" They repeated they would like whatever would be covered by the check they sent. I explained to them the basis of my ministry is to share the message of God for these last days without concern for the cost. I said, let us never talk about cost again. "How many books can you use?" (You understand I am relating this from memory so I am not remembering the exact words and details.) Then they suggested they could use ten books for their group. I still sensed a little reluctance so I repeated, "How many books can you use?" They said there was another group where they could share another five books. I repeated myself again, "How many books can you use?" Finally they said the could use about two dozen. I sent them a Baker's two dozen. (This is a pun with me because my maternal grandmother's maiden name was Baker and my paternal grandmother was Cook.) This reminds me, I want to report to you, I took about ten books to the Feast of Tabernacles I attended in California. There was a great demand for them and every one was given away. It is fascinating how the Holy Spirit works without our planning. I was very careful not to overtly try to pass the books out but only as the Spirit prompts me. There are things in my book, based on my study of the Bible, which are not completely in harmony with the ministry holding the meetings. I did not wish to provoke any controversy or conflict. Six months earlier, at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, I gave a copy of the book to a friend who works with the ministry in California. He gave away his copy and asked for another. The same thing happened this time. He would sit out in from of the meeting hall between meetings and read the book. Someone would come along, they would strike up a conversation, and he would give them the book. He did this over and over. I gave him every book I had. I asked for his address and sent him 20 books when I got home. He may not have anybody to share them with until Unleavened Bread in the spring but at least he has them. Isn't it amazing how the Holy Spirit leads where we would never go. I am too reticent to overtly promote the books but this dear brother was not reticent. If I had done it, there may have been some controversy or conflict. While I am speaking about the Holy Spirit, I want to comment on an article, "Have You Ever Wondered What is the Name of the Set Apart Spirit", I read at the following website. http://www.scribd.com/doc/19199866 I disagree with much in the premise of the article but I believe it is valuable reading to be aware of extreme viewpoints. The article did raise an interesting question, which triggered some valuable thought and meditation. I will share with you a condensed version bringing together thoughts I have shared, which are scattered elsewhere. I am afraid a deep investigation of this topic will lead to another long newsletter. Why is there no personal name for the "Holy Spirit"? I believe this relates to another question. Why is there no overt indication of the Father, Son, and Spirit in the Old (original) Testament? These questions spring from the concept of the Sacred Name and lead to some answers for the basis of the delusion leading to the Jewish rejection of the Messiah. In this discussion I will use the term Godhead instead of Trinity. The Catholic Church claims the term Trinity as a unique expression of their doctrine. I am not certain of all the details of the Catholic doctrine and I am not willing to blindly commit myself to agreement with their teaching. I am aware they claim the Trinity is composed of the identical essence, which sounds too physically specific of a description to match the Biblical description. In particular, the Spirit is clearly not flesh and the Son clearly is flesh. Nevertheless, I do believe in three unique personalities which I will refer to as the Godhead. I am not aware of any specific doctrine attached to this purely abstract, descriptive term. These verses are only a portion of the many which clearly portray the three members of the Godhead as uniquely identifiable and distinct.
Matthew 3:16-17
Matthew 12:31-32
I believe, because of the perfectly united purpose of the Godhead, all three bear the same name, IAUA, in the Old (original) Testament. It was the Son who was the primary visible representation of God on Earth. John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. John 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. John 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? The separation of the Son from the Father in the incarnation resulted in a separate name given to identify the Son of God. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. The son of IAUA was named IAUShUO. Many times His followers still referred to him as the LORD (IAUA) in the exact same terms used to refer to God the Father in both the Old (original) and New (Renewed) Testament. This understanding is described in detail in the chapter "The Sacred Holy Name of God" of the first book. This topic is under expanded development in the fourth book "Sacred Name IAUA" on the www.sacredname.info website. Do you understand and recognize the concepts behind the person of the Holy Spirit? I pray we may all continue to seek love, peace, and unity in truth preparing for the soon coming of IAUShUO (ee-ah-oo-shoo-oh) Messiah, the Son of God.
