Welcome to Camping 4 ELOAH. Who is, and What does ELOAH mean? In the original manuscripts, in both the Hebrew and Aramaic languages, our Father has many different names, titles, roles, character and offices. ELOAH is one of His names, the name is pronounced: e-LO-ah, with the e almost sounding like an eh sound, the LO more heavily accented, and the ah less accented. ELOAH is Father in His role of THE ONE AND ONLY, TRUE AND LIVING GOD. From the website Hebrew4Christians, where we read: אֱלוֹהַּ, Mighty, Powerful One. The word ELOAH is the singular (or dual) of ELOHIM and appears more than 70 times in the Tanakh, primarily in the more poetic passagesmy note here, the Tanakh is the Hebrew Bible, which is also called the Tanakh; תָּנָ״ךְ, pronounced [taיnaχ] or the [təיnax]; also Tenakh, Tenak, Tanach or sometimes the Mikra, is the canonical collection of Hebrew scriptures. These texts are almost exclusively in Biblical Hebrew, with a few passages in Biblical Aramaic insteadin the Books of Daniel and Ezra, and also found in Jeremiah 10:11, and some single words. The Hebrew Bible is also the textual source for the Christian Old Testament. The form of this text that is authoritative for Rabbinic Judaism is known as the Masoretic Text (MT) and it consists of 24 books, while the translations divide essentially the same material into 39 books for the Protestant Bible, lets now return to reading from Hebrew4Christians.com. The root-meaning of the word is unknown. It is generally thought that the same Divine name is found in Arabic (Ilah as singular a god, as opposed to Allah meaning the God, or God) and in Aramaic (Elah), though note the term Allah is borrowed from the original language. In the Tanakh, the singular form is used in six places for heathen deities (e.g., II Chronicles 32:15; Daniel 11:13-38), though in the majority of cases the name is used for the God of Israel. Note that the final הַּ, hey uses a Mappiqmy note here, the mappiq (מפיק‎, also mapiq, mapik, mappik, lit. causing to go out) is a diacritica sign, such as an accent, cedilla, or a mark which when written above or below a letter, indicates a difference in pronunciation from the same letter when unmarked or differently markedused in the Hebrew alphabet. It is part of the Massorites system of niqqudvowel pointsand was added to Hebrew orthography at the same time. It takes the form of a dot in the middle of a letter (usually ה‎, he). An identical point with a different phonetic function (marking different consonants) is called a dageshand the syllable uses the furtive patachagain, my note here, to understand a furtive patach, normally, you sound out a syllable by first pronouncing the letter sound and then adding the vowel sound. There is an exception to this rule, however: when a word ends in a הַּ, chet, an ע, ayin, or a dotted חֵ hey, (mappiq) and has a patach vowel mark, you first pronounce the vowel sound and then add the letter sound. Example, when a furtive patach appears under a chet, ayin or a dotted hey, the accent falls on the preceding syllable (e.g. רוּחַ, RU-ach, אֱלוֹהַּ, e-LO-ah, or ישע, ye-SHU-a)(e-lo-ah)., From Dr. Bullingers Companion Bible Appendices: ELOHIM who is to be worshipped. Eloah is God in connection with His Will rather than His Power. The first occurrence of this name associates it with worship (Deuteronomy 32:15, 17). Hence it is used whenever the contrast, either latent or expressed, is with false gods or idols. Eloah is essentially The Living God contrast to inanimate idols.. We find ELOAH in the Strongs Concordance is Hebrew word number: H433, - אלהּ, or ssאלוהּ, - e'lôahh or 'ĕlôahh, pronounced - el-oי-ah, el-oי-ah, and means: (The second form is rare); probably prolonged (emphatically) from H410; a deity or the deity: - God, god. See H430. Total KJV occurrences: 57..





Weekly Bible Chapter Study





camping4ELOAH.com is a Fathers Word teaching site, and as such, Ias a Pastor and Teacher of Fathers Wordteach Fathers Word as read from a 1611 Kings James Version Bible, transcribed from the Original Manuscripts.

The purpose of my website is to not only teach Fathers Word, but also to teach the student how to Read, Study, and Interpret Fathers Word for themselves in order that theyll (1) be able to better understand and are not confused by what theyre Studying; (2) be able to discern truth from lies when someone tells them that something is or is not in Fathers Word; and (3) have the knowledge to be able to use different Study Tools to interpret Fathers Word, in order to be able to take it back to the original languages for themselves, so that they need not rely on another man to interpret and\or translate it for them Father gives us the bricks, but it is up to us to do the building! This is the only true way that we can show Father that we Love Him by Studying His Word to gain the Knowledge of Him as He Desires Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, (love) and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than your burnt offerings.. Every Student of Fathers Word should be able to check out what ANY man tells them concerning Fathers Word, even checking behind myself, as I too am human and can make mistakes.

Both Paul and Peter teach us, that, as Christians and Students of Fathers Word, once we have Salvation and understand the Salvation message, then it is time for us to mature and graduate from the Milk of Salvation and move to the Meat of the Word, and even further still, unto the Strong Meat.
Milk=Salvation, i.e., a babe if you will;
Meat=means we understand some of the deeper truths, were Students who are still learning, though we never stop learning;
Strong Meat=Were still digging and learning ourselves, but we should be able to teach or share the Truth in and of Fathers Word with those who are babes or students. It may offend some, but I would say that those babes are just like lambs, calves and babies sucking on a teat. They are laying there drinking in and hooked on the milk of salvation, with their eyes closed, oblivious to the meatand strong meatof Fathers Word AND totally oblivious to the Deeper Truths in Fathers Word.

When Reading and Studying Fathers Word, if we stick to the Structure, i.e., following the Topic, the Subject and the Object as we were taught in Elementary School, then we wont be led astray by any man. This is why here at camping4ELOAH.com, Fathers Word is taught Verse–by–Verse, Chapter–by–Chapter, and Book–by–Book in order that the student learn Fathers True Word, and not mans customs, denominational doctrines, dogmas and\or traditions. I Dont say this to be smart or to sound better than anyone else. I say this because our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Himself taught us this in Matthew 15; 16; and Mark 7.

Matthew 15:1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,   —>   which were of Jerusalem=Have you ever wondered why Jesus was always contending with these scribes, pharisees, and the priesthood? Our Lord Jesusbeing God in the fleshknew who they were: They lay claim to being of the House of Judah, or of the Jews when in fact they were not. Does Father in His Word point out their lineage? Do you know their lineage, or have you even ever considered it? They were supposedly the Jewish priests. I say supposedly because, if you know Fathers Word, then you know that they were not supposed to be His Priests, as they were not Kohathite Levites. Fathers Priests were to be only the descendants of Levi through his son Kohath, through his son Amram, and then his son Aaron. This lineage was designated by Father to be His Priests. Levi had three sonsGershon, Kohath, and Meraribut only Levis grandson Aaron and his descendants were to be Fathers Priests. The descendants of Gershon and Merari were to assist their cousins, but even they were not allowed to be Fathers Priests. So, just in the statement that they were the Jewish religious leaders, should have your ears tingling, because theybeing Jewishwould have been descendants of Judah, not Levi, and therefore were not supposed to be Fathers Priests. Where did they come from? Some of them are they who had infiltrated the House of Israel when they deceived Joshua and the elders as far back as Joshua 9; some of them are they who had taken over the Levitical Priesthood as read in Ezra 8:15 and also who had taken over the scribes duties as Father warned us in I Chronicles 2:55 which reads: I Chronicles 2:55 And the families of the scribes which dwelt at Jabez (Jerusalem); the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and Suchathites. These are the Kenites that came of Hemath, the father of the house of Rechab.   —>   A search of the word: kenites in either the Strongs Concordance, or E-Sword, will bear out what Im saying concerning the scribes and pharisees not being Israelites. But, there is more to examine in this verse, namely: The Scribes. To understand who these were, I suggest you read my Topical Study the Scribes. It is a lengthy Study, which is why Im only posting the link and not including it here, but suffice it to say, they should have never been allowed anywhere near Fathers Word orally teaching it, and definitely NOT writing it. These scribes and Pharisees were not Levites and were not even Israelites. Their claim of being Jewish was by location association only, such as my being born in Pennsylvania and now living in KY, I claim to be a Kentuckian.

Matthew 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.   —>   Here in Matthew 15, these scribes and Pharisees have come to Jesus and His disciples all butt-hurt and concerned because, Jesus disciples were not complying with the tradition of the elders. The elders here being the high priest and the church hierarchy. What was their tradition? Well, one of their traditions was the manner in which they ceremoniously washed their hands before eating foodsee, they loved to make themselves appear oh, so, pious by sprinkling their water here and there and everywhere as they washedand they were angry that Jesus disciples were neither observing, nor following, their tradition. What about your church, do they have any of their own customes, traditions or imaginations of their own hearts? Maybe things such as the rapture of the church, speaking in tongues, handling snakes, celebrating easter instead of Passover?

These scribes really loved their traditions. Dr. Smith wrote in his Smiths Bible Dictionary, the following concerning the scribes: As time passed on, the words of the scribes were honored above the law. It was a greater crime to offend against them than against the law. The first step was taken toward annulling the commandments of God for the sake of their own traditions. Mark 7:13. The casuistry became at once subtle and prurient, evading the plainest duties, tampering with conscience. Matthew 15:1-6; 23:16-23. We can therefore understand why they were constantly denounced by our Lord along with the Pharisees.. Here; the scribes are doing just what Dr. Smith had written concerning them placing their traditions above Fathers Word and Who is that Word Jesus The Logos. These kenite scribes are asking Jesus why His disciples dont play sprinkle, sprinkle before they eat. Listen to Jesus answer to them. This lesson that He is going to give these scribes and Pharisees will consist of four parts, so lets pay close attention so that we may pick up on all of them. In the first part, Jesus addresses the scribes from Jerusalem i.e., those who claim to be Jews, but do lie, and are of the synagogue of satan; keep focused on that point. Do you need any other proof that there is a conflict between the Word of God and the traditions of the men? Many of the traditions in the kurch houses of today, are not of Father, nor is their foundation in the Scripture. They originated in the kurch hierarchy, by the church boards, and developed through the twisting of Fathers Word, just like satan likes to do. Of course these scribes and pharisees are his offspringJesus identifies them as such in John 8:44so we can see where they get it from. Be careful of what or who you follow, for it is Father Who will judge you not the deacons, elders or scribes; remember also, it is Father Who can destroy your soul at the second death.

Matthew 15:3 But He answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? [15:4] For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.   —>   Jesus answers these scribes by immediately quoting Fathers Second Commandment found in Exodus 20:12, and then follows that up with Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9; Deuteronomy 5:16; and 27:16. The death that He is speaking of here is the death of the soul, otherwise known as the second death. In that these scribes have brought the law to Jesus attention, He is about to turn it around on them and give these scribes a little lesson in the law. He isnt done with them yet, He continues:

Matthew 15:5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; [15:6] And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.   —>   Again, in verses v15:1-2 these scribes and pharisees were concerned with Jesus disciples not washing their hands the way the elders did before partaking of food. Jesus answered concerning that tradition, and while doing so, He also brought in another of their traditionsthis one about leaving their parents destitute in order to pay titheswhich He also corrected them on. See, the high priest and these elders and church hierarchy were more concerned about the people giving their money to the churchmuch like many of the church houses of today, pay your tithethan they were concerning the taking care of their older parents, which broke Fathers Commandment about honoring father and mother. In both instances of their traditions, He told them that because of their traditions, they made Fathers word null and void.

Matthew 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
—>   Jesus is going to give these hypocrite kenite scribes and Pharisees another Bible lesson in the law. This one is found in Isaiah 29:13.

Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto Me with their mouth, and honoureth Me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.   —>   The original reads: Isaiah 29:13 Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near Me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour Me, but have removed their heart far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the precept of men:   —>   Jesus is saying that these scribes speak so religiously of Father with their mouths and lips, however their hearts and their minds are so far removed from Father and what His Word actually says, that, they do not teach His Commandments, but they modify and falsify His words, and then create commandments of men. Those commandments are called traditions of men. Those teachings are ways and things that are not in Fathers Word, and Father is against them. They take these false commandments and turn them into doctrines. Jesus now is connecting the feedings of the multitude, to the doctrines, which is the True Food for the Spirit which is The Word of God. The Body of Christ is the True Bread of Life, and aside from that there is no life of value.

Matthew 15:10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:   —>   Now, Jesus calls everybody within ear-shot to Him, so that they may now hear what He has to say.

Matthew 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.   —>   Jesus is addressing a second group of people the multitudes, which are all the people: all kindreds and tongues, and races both, those of The House of Judah and those of the gentilesnon Israelites or foreigners. Jesus is telling these people to not only hear what I AM going to say, but they should absorb it in their minds also. He is not talking about the health laws here, for they are still in effect and have not been done away with. In other words, if you eat things which were not created to be partaken ofswine, shell-fish etc,Father created these animals to clean His earth, not for us to eatthey are not fit for the body because they contain large amounts of poisons, then your body and your health will suffer because of it. Breaking the food\health laws has nothing to do with sin and the death of your soul. However, Jesus is talking about the biggest sin which can be committed, the sin which can cause the death of your soul. Its what is in your heart and mind the Spiritual food of the teaching of Jesus, the food which gives us eternal life that matters, rather than the food that you place in your mouth for nourishment of the physical body.

Matthew 15:12 Then came His disciples, and said unto him, Knowest Thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?   —>   Do you think He was concerned that He offended the scribes and pharisees? No, not one iota. Jesus will now make His third address here, and it is to His own disciples. This part is also addressed to you as a follower of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Matthew 15:13 But He answered and said, Every plant, which My heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.   —>   Remember, He is speaking directly to His disciples and no one elseexcept we who get to read these words today, and IF we have the Ears to hear and the Eyes to Seeand He is going to reveal again to them, what He had told them two chapters ago in Matthew 13, when He said, If you do not understand this one parable, then you will not understand any of My parables. What was that parable about? That parable was, the parable of the sower. It was Our Father Who planted the good seed, while His adversary, satan the devil, planted the evil seed; and Jesus us warned of these offspring of the devil, the tares, or Kenites who would mix in with the Tribe of Judah, and the House of Israel. Lets read it for ourselves in Matthew 13: Matthew 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.   —>   Jesus disciples were having a hard time grasping what He told them concerning satans offspring with Eve; because of their difficulty, He had to explain it to them more slowlythis lineage began with Cain, who begat Enoch, who begat Irad etc.; Cains lineage, descendancy and genealogy is given beginning in Genesis 4:17, NOT Genesis 5, youll NOT find him or his descendants in with Adams. [13:37] He answered and said unto them, He That soweth the good seed is the Son of man;   —>   It was Jesus through Father Who created man in the flesh; He created all the races on the sixth day, and then the seedline through which He would become flesh on the eighth day. Lets take a take a closer look at the word Seed as used here in this verse. In the Strongs Concordance, we find that it is Greek word number: G4690, - σπέρμα, - sperma, pronounced - sper-mah, and means: From G4687; something sown, that is, seed (including the male sperm); by implication offspring, specifically a remnant (figuratively as if kept over for planting): - issue, seed. Total KJV occurrences: 44.. [13:38] The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;   —>   Jesus is not speaking figuratively, He is speaking plainly and truly: [13:39] The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. —>   Again, the word seed as used here, is the same as in verse v13:38 sperma. When did satan the wicked one, the devilsow these seeds which became children? It all started in Genesis 3, in the Garden of Eden when hesatan, beguiled (in the Greek)wholly seducedmind, body and spiritEve. Again, and remember, this is JesusEmmanuel, God with usspeaking and He is not just telling stories or making things up as He goes. Lets listen to Him tell it to them satans offspring, in John 8:44: John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He (Cain satan and Eves child who slew his step-brother Adam and Eves son: Abel) was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.   —>   Jesus really gave it to these scribes and pharisees in John 8:44, its a superb read and you should read it in its entirety. [13:40] As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.   —>   This is exactly what He is telling His disciples here in Matthew 15:13. [13:41] The Son of man shall send forth His angels, and they shall gather out of His Kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; [13:42] And shall cast them into a furnace of fire (the Lake of Fire at the Judgment, and we know from Hebrews 2:14 that our Father is a consuming fire): there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. [13:43] Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.   —>   Do you have the ears to hear yet? Lets return now to Matthew 15:

Matthew 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.   —>   These kenites were stealing from the poor, and also taking from the widows and orphans, and now we are to feel sorry that their feelings are hurt by Jesus? I think not! What did you expect Jesus was going to say to them oh, Im sorry I hurt youre feelings? Yes, youre dern tootin He offend them, He did it on purpose, they needed offending because they offended Him and his disciples even more, and they offended Him by their false teaching of the people.

This applies to us even today, are we keeping our attention on what Jesus is saying? Can we apply those teachings in our lives? How are you judging the world of the so-called righteous? When they give their righteous sounding words out of their mouth and lips, can you tell whether if it is of Father, or of the traditions of men? This is what Jesus is trying to teach His disciples and us.

Matthew 15:15 Then answered Peter and said unto Him, Declare unto us this parable.   —>   Peter is asking Jesus to explain to him the parable at the beginning of this Chapterconcerning the washing of hands before eatingbut Jesus will not. He had already explained that parable to them; however, Jesus will further expound upon the parable of verse v15:11concerning not what we put into our mouths defiles us. The parables of Matthew 13 and 14 are the ones which, if you dont understand them, you will not understand any of the parables. This is why it is so important that, if you do not understand them, go back to Matthew 13 and review it until you grasp it. It is the key and part of the key of David Jesus tells John about in Revelation 3:7.

We come now to the fourth part of the lesson that Jesus was giving the scribes and pharisees that we must pay attention to. Jesus is addressing Peter who will establish the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia, which continue on to this day. They are the the only two churchesof sevenwhich Jesus found no fault with in Revelation 2 and Revelation 3. It was only these two churches who were teaching Fathers true Word of who those were who claimed to be of the House of Judah, but do lie and are of the synagogue of satan.

Matthew 15:16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? —>   Jesus looked directly at Peter and asked him, Peter, do you still not understand? You are going to be the foundation upon which I build the church, you have to grasp what Im teaching you here.

Matthew 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?   —>    Jesus tells Peter that, it isnt foodunless it is the unclean foods discussed in Leviticus 11that defile us, it is the false doctrine(s) and traditions of man which we absorb and hold dear to our heart and then pass on to others, which defile us.

Matthew 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.   —>   When a man speaks, he convicts himself with his own words, thereby placing his own sentence on his head. A man lives his own sentence, for that which you sow, is that which you shall reap. If you sow wickedness, you shall reap wickedness and Father will see to it that you will receive such.

Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:   —>   While we are in these flesh bodies, we have a greater temptation to do evil which satan casts before us. It is harder for us to fight him and his evil ways while we are flesh, and he tempts us with his spirit, but Jesus gave us power over him if we use it, and declare it in His name as declared in Luke 10:19.

Matthew 15:20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.   —>   After this encounter with the scribes, Jesus then departs and goes to Tyre and Sidon, and He then continues onto Galilee where He has His disciples feed the four thousand men beside women and children the few little fishes and seven loaves of bread. Upon the completion of the feeding of the four thousand, He then climbs into a little ship and departs for the coasts of Magdala.

Immediately upon His arrival in Magdala, the pharisees and sadducees come to Him again, this time desiring He show them a sign from heaven. Of course, our Lord does not put on side-shows, but He replies to them in Matthew 16. So, lets turn there to finish this learning of why is it so important to Study Fathers Word and not to worry about mans customs, doctrines, or traditions:

Matthew 16:2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.   —>   The scribes and pharisees had again come to Himthis time they even brought the sadducees with them andthis time they were looking for a sign from Him, but Jesus answers these pharisees and sadducees with an old sailors expression: red at night, a sailors delight and red in the morning, the sailors take their warning. He is telling them that, sure they can discern the sky, heck even a fool can do that.

Matthew 16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?   —>   Yep, you can discern the easy things; however, of discerning the things of Father, they havent a clue. Jesus never gave them the sign they were looking for, He only called attention to their sottishness and foolishness. They had watched for many months, all of the miracles He performed, yet they still didnt believe. Jesus knew how He was getting under their skin, and was driving them nuts. Remember in Matthew 15:12 when the disciples came to Him in fear, Knowest Thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying. Jesus knew very well how much He was getting to them, if Fathers Word offends someone, then they need offending.

Matthew 16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas (Jonah in the Greek). And he left them, and departed.
—>   All Jesus gave them was, what they had the right to know, and then out the door He went and was gone.

Do you think that they were wise enough to know what He meant? No, sadly for them, they were not. When He mentioned Jonas, He was referencing Jonah 1:17 and referring to the three days that Jonah was in the belly of the great fish. Lets read it: Jonah 1:17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.   —>   Father had told Jonah to go and preach to the Ninevites that they should repent, or He was going to destroy their city. The Ninevites were the Assyrians who worshiped Dagon the fish god. Remember that many years prior to this, there was a prophecy given, and Jonah knew that Assyria was to be Fathers sword of judgment against Israel, or more specifically, against the House of Israel the ten northern tribes, consisting of Reuben; Simeon; Issachar; Zebulun; Ephraim and part of Manasseh; Dan; Naphtali; Gad; Asher; and a sprinkling of the Levitical priesthood. Jonah figured that if Nineveh perished, Father would spare Israel; therefore, Jonah was pleased to offer himself in sacrifice for brother Israel. Fathers plans however, were deeper then Jonahs, and when Jonah climbed onboard that ship, Father created a great fish right then and there to bring Jonah to shore after three days, the same length of time our Lord would spend in the tomb. Jonah wasnt really a coward, but he was fearful for the ten tribes to the north and didnt want them to go into captivity to the Assyrians. So, he figured if he didnt tell the Ninevites of Father wanting them to repent, then they wouldnt be around to be the sword against his brothers. The twist that most preachers overlook of course, is the fact that the Ninevites were worshipers of dagon the fish god, and when that great fish opened its mouth and Jonah walked out the Ninevites immediately fell on their faces and worshiped, and were then ready to do anything and all things which Jonah told them to do. Jonah told the Ninevites to repent, and the king decreed that everyone do so, and that is exactly what happened. Though Jonah didnt know it, what he did, played right into Fathers plan, and the whole city thought Jonah came from dagon, after all, to them, dagon was God, and he sent them Jonah, and deposited him right on their beachso to speak.

Matthew 16:5 And when His disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.   —>   When Jesus disciples came from Galilee to Magdala, they realized that they had forgotten to bring some bread with them, but that is not what this lesson is about, it gets a whole lot deeper than it appears on the surface: there is a Spiritual Lesson to be learned here:

Matthew 16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.   —>   As I previously stated above, the church at the time Father walked in the flesh as His Son Jesus, was run by the chief priests selected by the Romans, the pharisees, the sadducees, the elders and the scribes. So, this warning by our Lord to His disciples and us, to take heed and beware of the leaven was directed at their doctrine and traditions, or in other words: what they were teaching. You add leaven to the dough to make a larger loaf of bread, and the bread of Life is Fathers Word what Jesus was teaching, for Christ is the Bread of Life. Jesus is telling His disciples, and even Fathers Elect and the Christians of today, to beware of the false teachings, and those who present themselves as being of Father; when in fact, what they are giving out are the traditions of men and their own opinions. They do not adhere to or follow the Fathers Word. The leaven Jesus is referring to is yeast, and when someone works that yeast into the dough, in a short time that flat piece of dough starts to rise and pour out over the pan. They then knead it again, and it rises until it puffs up and makes beautiful bread. The leaven penetrates the entire loaf. Likewise also, if you listen to false teachers who take mans traditions, and the twisting of Fathers Word, by their denomination or church system, backed by the words of the so-called authorities, and you allow that information to penetrate your mind, then this warning by Jesus Christ is directed squarely at you. Do not let just any teaching be acceptable to you, without checking it out first in the Fathers Word. The Bible is our authority, and if you are a Bible teacher, then by all means: Teach Fathers Word, Verse–by–Verse, Chapter–by–Chapter, and Book–by–Book. Jesus is saying, Do not listen to man, listen to Me. Is that complicated? No, not at all.

Jesus performed two great miracles: the feeding of the five thousand and the feeding of the four thousand and the crumbs His disciples picked up afterward, in order to point out one little fact, and that one little fact is so important that it will be ruining the entire Word of Christ if it is not ardently followed. We are approaching the day where the entire loaf is leavening with false teaching, and daily more and more false teachers coming in Christs name, however they do not teach Fathers Word but the words of man. They lie to Christian souls who are starving for the truth in the Word, when they make their statements to be of God, but having like satan, twisted truth or changed one little word thereby making it a lie. When these false preachers and one verse revs of today say, God spoke to me today, and then give out their own made-up message, and take your money. If his Word from God cannot be backed up by the True Word of God, then they are false preachers, and they are filling your ears with lies.

Matthew 16:7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.  —>   Jesus disciples still couldnt quite get their head around what He was trying to impress upon them. They still thought He was talking about bread food.

Matthew 16:8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?   —>   When Jesus perceived=He didnt hear what they were discussing, for as God in the flesh, He knew what their conversation was about and He immediately addressed it. Jesus always waited until He and His disciples were alone before He taught them the deeper truths in His Word, and here, He is trying to open His disciples eyes to what He is trying to teach them.

O ye of little faith=Jesus is telling them in essence, to wake up and think cant you see what I am trying to teach you? The lesson here is not over, the fact is, this lesson is not about the fact that they have left the bread from the miracles behind, but Jesus is trying to get them to focus in on what is His bread. His bread is what He is trying to teach them, It is His words, the Truth in His Word.

Matthew 16:9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
—>   Jesus is now going to explain to them more slowly, trying to ensure they hear with their ears this time.

Matthew 16:10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?   —>   Jesus is asking the disciples, cant you keep track of the difference of what is leaven and what is my bread? Sadly, any time you have a large crowd gathered, you are going to pick up some false teachings, and wrong opinions.

Matthew 16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?   —>   Jesus is asking them straightly how it is that they are having such a hard time grasping the difference concerning what He teaches and what these false preachers teach? Dont you even remember what I told you while explaining to you the parable of the sower and the tares. I am not talking about bread here, get your mind on the subject, the leaven is the teachings and doctrines of the pharisees and the sadducees.

Matthew 16:12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.   —>   Its light bulb time, as His disciples finally get the message Jesus is not talking about bread, but, of the doctrine and traditions of man. The doctrine that comes forth todaywhich is claimed to be from God by those who have never picked up a Strongs Concordance to verify what the Hebrew, Chaldee, Aramic or Greek words meanis utterly useless save for the Salvation message. Paul told the Hebrews and us plainly in Pauls Epistle to the Hebrews: Hebrews 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.  —>   The false preachers today are no better than these scribes, for they just do not know what the entire plan of Father is because, they havent searched Fathers Word, except to make it fit their meanings and doctrines. The false preachers in these kurch houses need to go back and partake of the childs food instead of being in front of people trying to teach them. When one comes into their midst and gives them a morsel of truth, they just cannot handle the strong meat in the Word. [5:13] For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.  —>   Grow up and dig into the Word before you try and teach it to somebody else. [5:14] But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.   —>   Truth and non-truth. If you think it doesnt matter, youd be grossly mistaken because, Father tells us in His word that it does in both I Peter 4 and also in The Book of Ezekiel, well read it from I Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?   —>   Judgment begins with those who teach Fathers Word, and if a pastor, preacher, minister even unwittingly teaches incorrectly or falsely, he is liable for every soul he leads astray. What happens to those who falsely teach? Father plainly explains that to us also in His Word, in two different places, in The Book of Ezekiel, first in Ezekiel 34:1-16 and then also in Ezekiel 44:6-14. Father has His eye on those false shepherds, and they will be the first and the most severe to be judged on judgment day, for He doesnt like it when someone misleads His flock. There is a copy of Fathers Word which is clear, locked, and cannot be changed, its called the Massorah, and it is the only form of Fathers Word that is precise. So when these false preachers run around and say things that do not check out with the Massorah, they lie, and are a disgrace to themselves, but more importantly, to Father. As a Christian and a Child of our Father, it is your duty also to combat the scribe and what they try and teach.

Again, as a Pastor and teacher of Fathers Word, I dont want to be as one of those pastors Father addressed in Jeremiah 23:1 where He said, Woe be unto the pastors..., and Ezekiel 13, 14, and 34 where Father told Ezekiel to ...prophesy against the prophets and shepherds who prophesy out of their own hearts...for these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?.... What I mean to say is, that, from the time of the Levitical Priests of the Old Testament, in both Houses: House of Israelall 12 Tribes before the Division, and then the 10 Northern Tribes of the Divided Houseand House of Judahthe Tribes of Judah and Benjamin, with a sprinkling in of the Levites, and Manassitesto the priests, scribes, pharisees and sadducees during the time of Jesus day, to the majority of laypersons, ministers, pastors, preachers, priests, and reverends up to, and including today, they forsake their great commission of teaching Fathers Word Verse–by–Verse, Chapter–by–Chapter, and Book–by–Book, and instead insert their customs, denominational doctrines, dogmas, traditions and\or the imagination of their own hearts.

Its easy to tell whether your church is teaching how Father desires His Word be taught, and whether your church teaches the Doctrine of our Lord and Saviour: Jesus Christ; put them to the Litmus test, (1) do they indeed teach Fathers Word Verse–by–Verse, Chapter–by–Chapter, and Book–by–Book; (2) ask them one or several of the following questionsand ensure they give biblical support to support their answerand even then, you follow up by checking behind them: (A) Who were the entities in the Garden of Edenprior to Eve giving birth to Cain and Abeland what were their names, roles, titles? The answer is found in Genesis 2; (B) What happened\what was the original sin in the Garden of Eden? Genesis 3; (C) Where did Cain go when Father banished him from the Garden of Eden, and who named that land? Genesis 4; (D) From what country or area did Cain take his wife and who was she? Genesis 4; (E) Was Goliathwhom David slew in I Samuel 17truly a giant? From where did he and the other giants come? (see also Dr. Bullingers Companion Bible, Appendix 25). (3) Does your church not like to teach from the Old Testament and only teach from the New? Then ask these questions: First-off, ask them why they only teach from the New Testament, as Jesus taught from the Old Testament and quoted from it many, many times: (A) Explain the Parable of the Sower of Matthew 13:1-43, especially verses 13:25-43?; (B) What was Jesus teaching Nicodemus in John 3 when He was teaching him about being born again and born of water?; (C) If Jesus cannot lie, and would not call anyone names, or something they are not, explain John 8:44? All this will be discussed in greater detail either later on this HomePage, or during one of the Bible Chapter Studies teachings.

Legend for using camping4ELOAH.com: On this site youll discover that I use several different attributes to highlight and draw attention to important verses or commentary. Sometimes I use bolding; underlining; italicized,italicizing within a verse denotes that the italicized words have been added in order to make the verse read more correctlyOld English and other fonts, and Ill also use different colors for some of the verses, hyperlinks to other pages within my website [Bible Chapter Studies], other websites [such as bibleatlas.org, hebrew4christians.com etc], and dictionaries. So, if you see an underlined word, sentence, or phrase, it may not be for emphasizing but may be a hyperlink to take you to another study tool. When you do see something underlined, move your mouse over the underlined word and if it is a hyperlink, the Mouse Cursor will turn into a little pointing hand. Then once you have clicked on the link and then return to that page from which you clicked the link, youll notice the underline has changed from blue to yellow. The Text I use in the verses is the same as used in Dr. Bullingers Companion Bible; and as such, Ill post here and now, the quoting from his Companion Bible, his comments concerning the text he uses: The Text is that of the Authorized Version of 1611 as published by the revisers in their Parallel Bible in 1886. There are NO ALTERATIONS in the text beyond what can be effected by a variation in the character of the TYPE. Hence, there is nothing that affects the ear when reading it aloud; but only that which meets the eye in order to call attention to important facts and truths.....





Another quote from Dr. E.W. Bullinger, one of my favorite Biblical Scholars and author of the Companion Bible, one of my favorite Bible Study Tools: The Word of God may, in one respect, be compared to the earth: All things necessary to life and sustenance may be obtained by scratching the surface of the earth. BUT, there are treasures of beauty and wealth to be obtained by digging deeper into it. — So it is with the bible. All things necessary to life and Godliness lie upon its surface for the humblest saint: BUT, beneath that surface are great spoils which are found ONLY by those who seek after them as for hid treasure..





I am not perfect as a man or a Pastor teaching Fathers Word, but I do Pray that I fulfill the following, and in my eyes I do:
Psalms 40:9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation:

Lo, I have not refrained my lips,
O LORD, Thou knowest.
[40:9] I have not hid Thy righteousness within my heart;
I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation:
I have not concealed Thy lovingkindness and Thy truth from the great congregation.   —>   What do I feel I teach on my website?

Hebrews 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.   —>   On my website I try my best to stay away from any man-made doctrines, dogmas and or traditions, and teach only that which Spiritually feeds and nourishes the student.





I created this website to answer some of the questions of people Ive met, and also in hopes that the information here will serve to drive people into Fathers Word. I dont expect, neither do I want, anyone to take my word on anything I present in this website. Id rather you open your Bible and See and Read what Fathers Word has to say. You see, it isnt about me, but it is about our Father and His Word. So, break out a King James Version Bible (not a New International Version [NIV]) or any other version, put away the dogma and\or traditions that youve been taught since childhood, and actually read and study Fathers Word.

Do you know why I dont expect or want anybody to take my word? It isnt because I dont know Fathers Word; rather its because no one should take any other mans word for what Fathers Word says. Every adult should be able to properly utilize the available tools to study and translate Fathers Word themselves. Do you realize that when you accept another mansno gender involvedword for what Fathers Word says, then at the end of the day, youre still on your own! If that man has it wrong, and has taught you wrong, they wont be standing beside you, or between you and Father on Judgment Day, saying, Sorry Father, it was my fault, not theirs. I taught them wrong. No, youll have to answer for yourself to Father as to why YOU DIDNt TAKE THE TIME AND PUT FORTH THE EFFORT to try and properly translate and understand His Word, and why you just accepted another mans translation.

So, just what is the Bible? The Bible is a translation of the Manuscripts of Fathers Word. Who did the translating to bring us the King James Version Bible? The current King James 1611 Version was brought to us because, in the late fifteen hundreds to the early sixteen hundreds, King James, the King of England, had men he put to task to translate the original languages into English, in order that we could have Fathers Word in English. Were the men King James appointed perfect in their translations? No. They admittedly made errors; however, they did the best they could with the tools available at the time. They also wrote a letter to us and included it as a preface in the front of their translation, telling us they erred in some instances, and further telling us, that we need to seek further and deeper, in order to come to the Truthfulness in Fathers Word, where they erred or fell short. How, what, and why did they err? They erred because some of the original Hebrew; Chaldee; Aramic; and Greek words were either too hard to translate into English, or there really was no substitute word, and they translated as best they could and\or as close, as they could.

How can we best prove to our Maker, Creator and Father that we love Him? By going to church? No! But, by spending time with Him each day talking with Him, and by truly studying His Word. Did you know that there will be a test on it in the future? There will be! And if you dont study now to truly understand it, sadly, you will fail His test. It is His test, and as such, nobody can escape it, everybody will have to take it, either at the end of this Flesh Age if you are still here in your flesh body, ans\or at the end of Jesus 1,000 year Millennial reign. It is amazing how many churches do not read and/or study Fathers Word Verse–by–Verse, Chapter–by–Chapter, and Book–by–Book. It is also sad how many church-going Christians do not understand Father Word, His plan, or why we are in this flesh Age. Jesus taught us how to study in Matthew 4: Matthew 4:4 But He answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.    —>   Of course, He was quoting from Deuteronomy 8:3. Every word out of the mouth of God not out of the mouth of man. How could man ever think he could say it better than our Father?! The Bible is Fathers Holy written Word. It is His love letter to you. Would you give the love letter that your loved one sent to you to someone else, and have them read it to you, or to interpret for you? No! So then, why do most Christians go to a church and have a pastor or preacher preachnot readto them Fathers Word? Again, it is His Word, and as such, man has absolutely no right to say, This is what I believe; this is what I believe it to mean; this is what I think it means; or any other such statements. It is because of beliefs and statements like these, that we have the abominations in the Beth-aven(s) that we have today: Bishops and priests preying on young children; churches allowing openly practicing homosexual pastors and unions; clergy performing homosexual marriage ceremonies; and denominations declaring: Gods Word isnt the authority on homosexuality. All contrary to His Holy Written WordLeviticus 18:22; 20:13; Deuteronomy 22:5; Romans 1:21-32these are just some of the abominations that Father showed Ezekiel in Ezekiel 8. The only way to come to the true meaning of the scriptures is by following the subject and the object of what is being discussed; by taking the words back to Hebrew, Chaldee, Aramaic, and/or Greek; by applying analogies; using common sense; recognizing euphemisms; learning the colloquialisms; Hebraisms; and idioms of the time; and by properly transliterating His Word.





So, what do I mean when I keep saying that we have to take the time and put forth the effort to study Fathers word? Well, Timothy told us in II Timothy 2: II Timothy 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a good workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.   —>   Well, you might ask, what tools we can use to do this? For starters, like I said above, a King James 1611 Version Bible. I utilize the Companion Bible authored by E.W. Bullinger. As quoted in the Preface by Dr. Bullinger: The Companion Bible is so called because its wide margin is intended to be a Companion to the text; and the whole is designed as the Companion of all readers of the Bible. The human element is excluded, as far as possible, so that the reader may realize that the pervading object of the book is not merely to enable him to interpret the Bible, but to make the Bible the interpreter of Gods Word, and Will, to him. To the same end this Edition is not associated with the name of any man; so that its usefulness may neither be influenced nor limited by any such consideration; but that it may commend itself, on its own merits, to the whole English-speaking race. It is Not a New Translation; it is Not an Amended Translation; it is Not a Commentary..

While studying, I also utilize The Strongs Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible by James Strong (Theologian); a Smiths Bible Dictionary; and also, E-Sword.neta computer Concordance program, which is a fast and effective way to study Fathers Word and learn the Hebrew and Greek words and meanings of the original manuscripts. All these tools and others can be found on the Study Tools and Resources clickable link on the top of my website.

Even with all the available Study Tools for us to properly interpret and translate Fathers Word for ourselves, there is another thing we much always know and understand. We never come to a full understanding of Fathers Word, unless, Father Opens our eyes, as we can read in Luke 24: Luke 24:45 Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.   —>   Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, are the only ones Who can open our eyes, our ears, and the Scriptures so that we might understand them. No man; not myself, or any other man, has this ability. If you know anything about the Gospel of Luke, then you know that the Gospel only contains 24 chapters, and since as we read here in Luke 24:45 Then opened He their understanding... when is this then? It was After He had already been crucified and resurrected. He had been with His disciples and teaching them for three years, yet it wasnt until after He resurrected, that He opened their understanding.
