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 14th day of the 8th month of God's Sacred Calendar in the estimated year 6018 Anno Mundi.

The Spring Sabbaths begin in 5 months with the first Sabbath of Unleavened Bread, the 15th day of the 1st month (Sunday, April 5th on the 2015, Gregorian Calendar, at sunset Saturday, April 4th).

The Sacred month begins on the world day after lunar conjunction and the sacred year begins with the Spring Passover Rule dates for determining the Gregorian Calendar dates of God's Sacred Calendar. The Millerite Calendar (Spring New Moon Rule) is the same this year. The Calculated Rabbinical Calendar is one day early.


Matthew 16:19 is one of those confusing texts, which has been seriously abused by the Roman Catholic denomination. The first issue has to do with confusion about the source of power. The typical understanding seems to say that a human can have the power to change the requirements of heaven.

Matthew 16:19 King James Version (KJV)
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

I have come to the conclusion that the process of translating the Bible can never be pure but is always influenced by the theology of the translators. This becomes obvious when you realize that even two English speakers can still misunderstand each other. Therefore, any translation can be easily misunderstood.

Other translations of this verse begin to make the source of the power more clear.

Matthew 16:17-20 J.B. Phillips New Testament (PHILLIPS)
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven; whatever you forbid on earth will be what is forbidden in Heaven and whatever you permit on earth will be what is permitted in Heaven!

Matthew 16:19 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth is already bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth is already loosed in heaven.”

These translations are very clear.

Matthew 16:19 Expanded Bible (EXB)
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; the things [and whatever] you don’t allow [forbid;  bind] on earth will be the things that God does not allow [forbidden/bound in heaven], and the things [whatever] you allow [permit;  loose] on earth will be the things that God allows [permitted/loosed in heaven].”

Matthew 16:19 Amplified Bible (AMP)
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven.

The second issue arose last night while I was meditating, the Holy Spirit gave me a revelation (insight) that the "keys of the kingdom" is not about power to control but about guidance to enter the kingdom. His words to us while He was on earth and all of His Word is our key to the kingdom. This is the basis of everything. Omnis Scriptura et Sola Scriptura!

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Those that study the Word to know His will and then do His will, have the keys to the gates, the right, to enter the city.

Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

He also gives the Holy Spirit to add understanding to each individual. The Holy Spirit has always been our helper but was able to be increasingly effective during the ministry and sacrifice of IAUShUO leading up to the Pentecost outpouring on the disciples and continues to increase leading up to the Latter Rain Pentecost outpouring to come on the 144k.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

One of the errors Satan promotes is that we can depend on the Holy Spirit without being guided by the Word. This opens the door for a different spirit to take hold. The focus of the Holy Spirit is to help us to understand the Word and to bring the Word to mind when it is needed. We must study the Word and commit the Word to our memory.

Psalms 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Are you receiving and accepting the keys to the kingdom?

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.
