The Sin of Pharmakeia

 

 

In these last days (Biblically speaking) there has been, and is now, a great "awakening". Yahweh is calling His people (Israel) and "waking them up” spiritually. As part of this process He gives us knowledge by spiritual revelation. What I mean, is that Yahweh (by His Spirit) shows us stuff that has ALWAYS been in the scriptures, but we were not able to see.  This Knowledge being revealed is key to our relationship with our Creator.  Examples of what has been revealed are: His Great Name (Yahweh), Sabbaths, and Feast Days, just to name a few. Not all of us started with the same revelation. Some started with His Name. Some started with Feast Days, etc., all of us have this one thing in common, though, we ALL were touched by HIS SPIRIT. These truths have been in the scriptures and in man's history all these many years, but to fulfill prophecy, we (collective, or the Whole House of Israel) were blinded. Now, in this time of the end, prophecies continue to be fulfilled in us by the revealing of HIS WORD to those who have been granted a glimpse of sight. One such prophecy is found in Ezekiel chapter 37 verses 1-14. 

This prophecy is for the Whole House of Israel, not just one or two tribes and it is sometimes called the "dry bones" prophecy. Here, we read How Yahweh will resurrect His people out of their spiritual graves and then out of their physical graves. The point is that we are in that part of the prophecy where the bones are coming together and getting the flesh and sinews upon them. Ezekiel was told to prophesy to the bones THREE TIMES! Twice while they are dead, and once after they are made alive.

The first time we see the bones come together and the flesh and sinews come upon them. (Vs.1-8)

 Ezekiel 37:1 The hand of Yahweh was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the middle of the valley which was full of bones, 2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. 3 And He said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Sovereign Yahweh, you know. 4 Again He said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, hear the word of Yahweh. 5 Thus says Sovereign Yahweh to these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live: 6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am Yahweh. 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. 8 And when I watched, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

 

The second time the Spirit or Breath of Yahweh entered into them and they LIVED. (Vs. 9-11)

Ezekiel 37:9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, thus says Sovereign Yahweh; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.11 Then He said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

The third time he prophesied (Verses 12-14), and they came up out of their graves and returned to Israel/Jerusalem.

Ezekiel 37:12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus says Sovereign Yahweh; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 And you shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, 14 And shall put my spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall you know that I Yahweh have spoken it, and performed it, says Yahweh.

In this we see three stages of the reconciliation of Yahweh's people in the last days.

In the First Stage (Happening Right Now!) the word is spoken through Yahweh's Spirit of truth. His ordained people (called out ones) start to make themselves known to the world, seemingly coming out of nowhere.

Then, in stage two, we see the INFILLING of the Holy Spirit, or the "latter rain" as prophesied by Hosea, Jeremiah, Joel, Zechariah, and also by the apostle James.

The third and final stage speaks of the resurrection from the dead to the Kingdom at the return of Yahshua ( OUR KING! ).

Having said that, there are several very deep and profound truths that will affect our lives as we are shown them. If you are a believer reading this, then you have already been shown that Baptism in the name of Yahshua as the only name given for salvation.(Acts 4:10-12)

10. Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Yahshua the Messiah of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom Yahweh raised from the dead, by Him does this man stand here before you whole. 11. This is the stone which was thought to be nothing according to you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Hopefully you have already taken action based on this revelation, and have been immersed in That Great Name.

This is a deep and profound revelation, for without it you cannot please Yahweh, nor receive the Filling of His Spirit, or His Salvation.  It is, however, the first step to a "Holy" life, or becoming "set apart" from this world. As we live out our lives here on earth waiting for the return of our King, there are a lot more of these deep and profound truths we will become aware of and will need in order to be pleasing and "set apart" to Yahweh. Almost always these are very simple truths but with great big consequences.

Look at the truth of Honoring His Sabbath...   If this was revealed to you while you worked a job that requires your attendance on the Sabbath day, you were suddenly faced with a life changing decision. You will either lose your job trusting that Yahweh will take care of you, or you will be in rebellion to Him and He will chastise you in some way. (That is if you truly are His child). This is how/when you start to actually live the Scriptures and become a "living testimony" to your King. He always provides a way for you to Honor Him.

But let's just say for a minute that He didn't provide a way out. Let's just say He let you die as a result of your obedience to Him. Would it be better to live in rebellion or to die in obedience? Scripture very clearly tells us that it is not whether you live or die that is at issue before Yahweh, but how you live before you die, that is the key to your salvation. Now, I have not actually seen this choice between life or death as a result of obedience/faith take place in my lifetime YET, but this is the decision that all the martyrs made according to historical account.  It is the same decision that all believers must make according to prophecy.  By the Scriptures we are told that Yahshua died, was buried, and rose from the dead... That Faith in Yahshua as The Messiah, and Baptism in His Name is necessary for our salvation. When we are baptized we don't just symbolize what He did, but we act out a statement of faith. That statement is this...that we will die, we will be buried, and we will be resurrected with Him into His kingdom. After you have been immersed, you then begin to live out the statement that you just made, as Yahshua gives you direction and power through His Holy Spirit and His Word. If you think that being a believer means that when the enemy comes against you, that somehow your life/body will be spared, then you have missed the whole thing entirely. Only those who LIVE a life of FAITH, and are ready to DIE as a result of it, will be resurrected into HIS kingdom (1st resurrection). (Mark 8:34-38 makes this very clear.)

34 And when he had called the people with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will follow me, let him deny himself, and carry his cross, and join me.35 for whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy messengers.

This salvation is from the sin of this world and into the Glory of His Kingdom. Because that is true, this world and all it has to offer us, is less than dung compared to Yahshua’s Kingdom.  The redemption process of calling us out is also just that, separating us from the sin of this world and all it has to offer. (Which by the way only leads to diseases & death.)

One such sin this world has to offer is in the "saving" or "healing" of lives by the "medical industry".  Notice that it is an industry and not a ministry. It is a business that is presented as a ministry. It is one of Satans' counterfeits. The Scripture calls it SIN.  Let's see if we can expose the counterfeit.

In the book of Deuteronomy (Ch. 30 vs.19 & 20) we read that Yahweh has given us a prescription for life. He even wrote it out for us. You know, just like the "doctors" do in the "medical industry". Yahweh says, through Moses and his writings, that He sets before us life and death, blessings and cursings. Deuteronomy 30:19

19.  I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life that both you and your seed may live: 20. That you may love Yahweh your Elohiym, and that you may obey His voice, and that you may cleave to Him: for He is your life, and the length of your days: that you may dwell in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Yahweh exhorts us to choose life, but gives us the freedom to choose what we want. This is the first covenant/agreement between Yahweh and His ordained people. We started out (by the leading of Moses) choosing life, but soon fell into sin by way of fears and temptations. It is important to note here that the death Yahweh speaks about is by way of curses that He will bring on us should we choose to dishonor our agreement. (Deuteronomy Ch 28 vs. 15-68) Since we did/do break our agreement, Yahweh did/does the only righteous thing that a righteous El could do: Honor His word. These curses are the very same things that this medical industry says it can cure us from.

We started out great because we had the FEAR OF YAHWEH to let us know who He is and how powerful He is. Not long after, because of LACK OF FAITH, most rebelled just before going into the Promised Land. He then led us as a mixed multitude of believers and unbelievers through a cleansing process for 40 yrs.. After this purification is complete with FAITH, we who were left alive entered the Promised Land. Then later through fear and lust we (our forefathers) returned to sinful lives.

Yahweh now sends us His prophets (in the written Word) to remind us of the prescription He wrote so long ago. One such prophet (Moses) makes it very clear Who YAHWEH is. In Deut. Ch. 32 we read "The Song of Moses", and in that song (vs39) we see that Yahweh kills and makes alive, wounds and heals.

Deut.32:39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no El with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

Do you see that? It is plainly stated that only Yahweh heals and saves lives. Only Yahweh wounds and heals.

 

There was a King named Asa. When he started his reign in Judah, he did that which was right in the sight of Yahweh, but at the end of his days he did not acknowledge this great truth about Yahweh and it was recorded against him.

2Chronicles 16:12 “And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: Yet in his disease he sought not to Yahweh, but to the physicians”.

 

Now that we have a foundation, let's fast forward to the days of Yahshua.

Two of the most remarked about things that Yahshua did is heal the sick and raise the dead. The casting out of demons was only a way of healing. Then He gave this same power to His disciples.

Now many people try to justify the treatment by “doctors” and the “medical industry” by saying that Luke was a physician, and, that he was a disciple, so it must be ok. There is only one verse that tells us Luke was a physician. Colossians Ch 4v14 “Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.”

This was only an affectionate title used for him. Anything more is speculation on your part. Let me ask this: Is it recorded anywhere in the scriptures that any one of the disciples or Yahshua went to Luke for “medical treatment”? No!

Is it recorded that anyone else beside them went to Luke for “medical treatment”? Maybe!

Don't you think that if it was Yahweh's plan for "doctors/physicians" to do the healing that it would be recorded? YES!

Wouldn't you expect to read that people either went or were to go to Luke (or other physicians) for treatment, and then if he couldn't heal them, or if the problem persisted, then go to the elders for prayer??? I Would!

Well actually we do read about a certain woman who had spent all her money on physicians (I am speculating that maybe Luke was one of them) only to be left sick until she was able to touch the real physician’s garment and receive her healing (Mark 5:25-34 & Luke 8:43-48).

Mark 5:25 And a certain woman, which had an issues of blood twelve years, 26.and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27.when she had heard of Yahshua, came in the press behind, and touched His garment. 28. For she said, if I may touch but His clothes, I shall be whole. 29. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. 30. And Yahshua, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of Him, turned Him about in the press, and said who touched my clothes? 31. And His disciples said unto Him, thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, who touched me? 32. And He looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before Him, and told Him all the truth. 34. And He said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made the whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

Luke 8:43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, 44 came behind Him, and touched the border of His garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. 45 And Yahshua said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, who touched me? 46 And Yahshua said, somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. 47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before Him, she declared unto Him before all the people for what cause she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately. 48 And He said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

 Notice that we do not find in these scriptures any verses directing us to the doctors/physicians for healing, but instead to Yahshua. We do find that the doctors could not heal her. We also find that she was healed from a “plague” as previously referred to in Deuteronomy. So we do not find support for the “medical industry”. In fact quite the opposite is apparent. We find Yahshua as the source of healing. Later He gave all the disciples Power to be real physicians and sent them out into a sick world to heal it, and then ONLY in His Name.

The scriptures as recorded in Isaiah 53:5 and 1Peter 2:24, tell us that it is by Yahshua’s stripes that we are/were healed.

Isaiah 53: 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.

1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

In other places in scripture we read that Yahshua, in some instances, said "your sins be forgiven you" instead of "be healed". When questioned by the unbelieving world, He says that it is the same thing.

Matthew 9:2-7

2. And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Yahshua seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you. 3. And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, this man blasphemes.  4. And Yahshua, knowing their thoughts said, why do you think evil in your hearts? 5. For which is easier? To say, your sins be forgiven you; or to say, Arise, and walk? 6. But that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house. 7. And he arose, and departed to his house.

Mark 2:5-11

5. When Yahshua saw their faith, he said to the sick of the palsy, Son, your sins are forgiven.  6. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7. why does this man speak blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but Yahweh only? 8. And immediately when Yahshua perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said to them, why reason you these things in your hearts?

 9. Which is easier to say to the sick of the palsy, your sins be forgiven you; or to say, Arise, and take up your bed, and walk? 10. But that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (he said to the sick of the palsy,) 11. I say to you, Arise, and take up your bed, and go your way into your house.

Luke 5:22-25

22. But when Yahshua perceived their thoughts, He answering said unto them, what reason you in your hearts?

23. Which is easier? To say, your sins are forgiven you; or to say, Rise up and walk?

24. But that you may know that the Son of man has power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say to you, Arise, and take up your couch, and go into your house.

25. And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that upon which he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying Yahweh.

This verifies through Scripture that sickness is caused by sin. Big Surprise, since we had forgotten that Yahweh always Honors His Word. Big surprise, since we are the ones that dishonored the covenant of the law, and sin is transgression of the law, as recorded in 1John 3:4, Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (and we know that the law is the original prescription for life and health as recorded in the book of Deut.) Even in the case of the blind man it was not sickness, but a birth defect sent to manifest the works of Yahweh in him. So, it is because of this that I say it is Impossible for "doctors" and the "medical industry" to heal us or save our lives. They cannot forgive us of our sins and it is our sins that cause the sickness.

Now think about this: if the law was done away with and nailed to the stake (as is taught in ‘Churchianity’) , why are we as believers still receiving the curses of the law? Perhaps it is because we don’t believe correctly! When people go to doctors and appear to get a healing do they really get one? When Yahweh made us, He put in our bodies the ability to heal itself. (We are a marvelous work of His creation.) Our sins interfere with this process. When a person goes to the doctor and receives a healing it is because Yahweh wills that person to be healed.  In spite of or irrespective of the “physicians” and their “sorceries”. Remember the Scripture says it is Yahweh that kills and makes alive, that wounds and heals.

  

Ok, if the “medical industry” is not for our healing then what is it for? Well, first of all it is for profit or monetary gain. Secondly it is a very important part of a very wicked system. A system of power and of control. To find out more let's look at some scriptures to see if we can further expose this counterfeit. We get our word for "pharmacy" from the Greek word "phamakeia" Strong's #5331. (This is no coincidence) It is translated in the New Testament as “witchcraft” in Gal. 5:19

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 envying, murders, drunkenness, reveling, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of Yahweh.

As “sorceries” in Rev. 9:21

 21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

 Also in rev. 18 v23

23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in you; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in you: for your merchants were the great men of the earth; for by your sorceries were all nations deceived.

Therefore “pharmacy” is the same as “witchcraft” and “sorceries”.

In the world we live in, we see this word "pharmacy" used for the locations or outlets for the drugs and paraphernalia used in the “industry”. These mind and body altering substances are "man made" and not natural or "Yahweh made". They are patented for sale in commerce. They are regulated by the food and “Drug” administration. Herbs and natural (not processed), foods, vitamins, and minerals, etc. are from Yahweh. The food and drug agencies are opposed to health nutritional products that are “natural” or made by Yahweh. (Even in the “health food” stores there are natural products being processed or altered and marketed.) They promote the man made, man altered, Patented and processed foods that can be used for monetary gain. He gave us a diet in the law to keep us healthy. (See Leviticus chapter 11 for food laws)

If you believe that you have to go to a doctor and get a prescription for drugs to get your healing, then you are in sin. (According to Scripture)

If you don't go to the doctors but seek Yahweh for your healing and die, then you have died in faith and are worthy of the resurrection and hope of your calling. (According to Scripture)

In Rev. we see that the root word "pharmakeia" is used to describe the "sorceries" of Babylon. This is not new because we see the same word "sorceries" used in Isaiah 47:9

9 But these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon you in their perfection for the multitude of your sorceries, and for the great abundance of your enchantments.

 Also in Isaiah47:12

12 Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth; if so be you shall be able to profit, if so be you may prevail.

Here we see the word used as part of an indictment of sins against Babylon.

In both books we see that it is because of these sins that destruction is brought to those who continue in them.

Rev. 18:4 tells us clearly to "come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues".

Again, we are given a prescription for life and health, then the free will to choose.

I think it is important for us to stop here and examine another aspect of this “Medical industry”. They who practice in this part of the “industry” present themselves as “healers” when all the while in the sterile clinics they are murdering thousands of innocent people through a process called abortion. In the very beginning time of one’s life, when babies are the most vulnerable and weak, when they are in a place that by all rights should be the safest place (Mother’s womb), they are systematically murdered for profit. This is the same system that is called the “Medical industry”. Believers are being deceived every day into believing that this beastly system is Yahweh’s means for healing. (Awake Oh Israel, Put off your slumber. The truth shall set you free.)

Know this, according to Scriptures, a "believer" cannot receive salvation and also willfully choose to continue in this abomination so clearly spoken of by Yahweh. The very definition of "believer" acknowledges that one is in fact, believing Yahshua to be the Source of one's healing and one's salvation, and that Yahshua and His disciples are one's examples for living one's new life "in Yahshua".

To willfully sin (without repentance) causes one to no longer be a believer, or at the least, to be an unrepentant believer. What? I ask. Is the difference?

Let’s look at some verses that address this.

1John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, (Are unrepentant) we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

In John 14:6 Yahshua said  “I am the way, the truth, and the life; and no man comes to The Father, but by me”.

If we don't have truth then we don't have Yahshua.

 

1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, (are repentant) He is faithful and just to forgive sins, and cleanse us from all our unrighteousness.

Does the scripture teach that the blood of Yahshua will cover you for willful sin, or a lifestyle of willful sin? NO!

Isn't the key to salvation found in repentance and turning away from sin? YES!  Yet, in the assemblies of Yahshua today there is a continued life of sin with no repentance, but rather an attempt at justification by rationalization as a result of ignorance or a lack of faith.

Amazingly!!! People will trust in Yahshua for their eternal salvation!  Salvation  which is completed in the future, after death, and yet cannot trust Him for their healing here in this life.

Folks, THIS IS SALVATION!

Remember, it was by His stripes that we were healed. We must be willing to literally die in this flesh before we would go to Satan or his workers for salvation from anything!

 

When the mark of the beast comes, what will be the difference?

 

The difference is this... Because of Yahshua’s mercy, if you can receive this message and exhortation to walk in faith, you can still confess this dependency upon the medical industry as sin and repent or turn away from it.

 

After the mark is received there is no more repentance.

 

This message has been brought to you through the workings of
