Thank you for this sermon !!!
Thank you Frank for wonderful teaching
Note that much of Rom 3:12-18 is a quote by Paul of the Septuagint Psalm 14:3. Most Bible notes cobble together a list of references for what is probably a single quotation.
Good sermon. I could listen to you.
Why don't you leave Jewish people alone? Can you not focus on your own religion?
Love it brother, wish I was there. Some people you just fall in love with. Thanks for the excellent teaching.
Thank You Sir for this break down

Hello sir
welcome to my channel!
A much needed, profound and heartfelt sermon for our time. I praise the eternally Holy and Merciful Lord of All for this gift of wonderful exegesis through Mr. Frank Carmical, and for the towering groanings which could not be uttered that I experienced in the Spirit of God while receiving, pondering these blessed truths...
The Truth About Biblical Universalists 1. Biblical Universalists believe that people WILL go to hell. Biblical universalists believe that Hitler will be punished according to what he has done. Matthew 16:27 , Romans 2:6 , 2 Corinthians 5:10 , 2 Corinthians 11:15 , 2 Timothy 4:14 , Revelation 2:23 , Revelation 18:6 , Revelation 20:12 , Revelation 20:13. 2. Biblical Universalists believe that we should all flee from this punishment as Jesus encourages to. Biblical Universalists do not cling only to God's Love attribute. As stated above God will justly deal with each and every person according to what they have done. No person has ever tormented anyone unendingly so God will not unjustly do it to them If punishment never ends then Justice is never completed. 3. Biblical Universalists believe that everything we do will affect the quality of the outcomes God measures out. The saints will be resurrected without Judgement. Jn 5:24 , Rev 20:4-6. The saints will be saved from the destruction of the earth. 2 Peter 3:3-9 but unfaithful Christians will not be saved from these things. Unfaithful Christians will be punished 2 Cor 5:10 , 1 cor 3:11-17. Rebellious unbelievers will experience fire from heaven Rev 20:7-9 and they will experience the end of the earth 2 Peter 3:3-9 , Rev 20:11 and then judgement and then punishment according to their deeds. There is lots of appreciation for behaviour affecting Gods actions. God will not let people say no to him forever, this is why the dead are raised in spiritual bodies that are not inclined to sin. 1 Cor 15:44 4. Everybody will live in the new earth but not everybody will be saved from punishment in hell. The punishment in Hell will be the end of sin forever. God will not have most of humanity preserved in an unending sinful state in hell. God will not allow sin to exist forever in His creation. Only by eliminating sin altogether will God's holiness be vindicated against sin. God hates sin so much that He will be rid of it forever. Everybody sins against the Eternal Infinite God. But The Lamb of God has taken away the sin of the world. Jn 1:29 Now nobody pays for the sin, they only pay for their deeds as I have shown in the many verses above. Jesus gave his body for the life of the world. Jn 6 We know this means everyone because everyone is resurrected back to life.
All Pedophiles and Wicked will deny her.
I calculated the mark of the beast after figuring out the exact equation used to equal 666. "Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666". Revelation 13:18. Philadelphia is one of the 7 churches of Revelation and is the same name of this Nations original capital. From the center of Philadelphia to the center of Canton Ohio is exactly 333 miles as the crow flies. Canton is where Marilyn Manson was born and is also home of the football Hall of Fame. From the center of Canton Ohio to the center of Chicago is exactly 333 miles as the crow flies. This route from Philly to Canton to Chicago equals 666 the mark of the beast. Chicago is where Anton Lavey was born and its where he wrote the satanic Bible. Anton published it the same year Manson was born, 1969. Marilyn Manson and Anton Lavey became friends after first meeting at Anton's "Black House" in San Francisco in 1994. 2 years later Manson released his best selling album Antichrist superstar. Manson also has 666 tattooed across his rib cage and an upside down cross across his chest.
Delete the messages from the messenger of Malachi 3:1 and you reject Jesus Christ herself. Transgender is when a person is born with a gender opposite the sex characteristics normally associated with that gender. 🏳️🌈 Mathew 19:12 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender. 🏳️🌈 Eunuchs made that way by others were abused in some way and something inside of them blocks off a certain type of body but it doesn't happen to everyone that is abused. 🏳️🌈 Those that choose to live like Eunuchs FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex-characteristics but opposite in regards to gender. Notice, it states God PREFERS for people to be in LGBT relationships. God created them male and female, determined by gender, located in the brain. I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6. In Deuteronomy, it states nobody was castrated back then. But, that is what God wanted people to think so they wouldnt take it out of the Bible. As Elijah, any discrepancies in the Bible are ultimately decided by me. I can't prove I am Elijah, but people keep telling me I'm about to be announced to the world. My destiny is to usher in the Messiah! Anyone teaching the LIE of monetary tithing, selling anything at all using the gospel, or teaching same-sex marriage is a sin CHOOSES to die with the wicked. Lev, Corinth, and Timothy were translated wrong on purpose by Billy Graham. The real translation is "men shall not lie with young boys" and the German version of the Bible actually says "men who molest boys." Romans is not referring to Eunuchs where on partner is transgender. In fact, God is the one that did it on purpose because they were trying to procreate during orgies. Sodom and gem. was about rape and had nothing to do with marriage of any kind. Anyone that rejects the comments from the messenger of Malachi 3:1 rejects Jesus Christ Herself and that means they CHOOSE to die with the wicked. This is not a threat. Ezekiel 33 says if you don't warn people of their wicked ways and they die in their sins then God will hold you accountable for their deaths. But once you warn them, if they don't repent and die in their sins, their deaths are now on them. Anyone that teaches anything other than this chooses to die w the wicked. That means all people that choose to continue to teach same-sex marriage is a sin when it is NOT (God PREFERS it) will die with the wicked by their own choice and not be here to walk the planet with Jesus. Anyone that denies this message is now in the GREAT TRIBULATION and they will begin to suffer tremendously until they either repent or it's too late and they die. It's their choice . . . Love, 🏳️🌈 ELIJAH THE LESBIAN 🏳️🌈 Remember, Malachi 2 proves Malachi 3:8-12 is prophetic instruction for the thieving church leaders to repent...... Jesus was transgender the first time and will return as a woman . . . Do you understand the fake ministers KNOW every single time they take money for ministering they kill more people with Covid and they still do it!?!?!.... Pretrib rapture is lies. In fact, rapture the way it is taught is all lies. God's true peopple are protected and will not die. Jesus comes back to earth to rule. Leaving is not good! Wicked people changed the Bible. There is no ONE antichrist, it was made up by people that worship money because they knew they would have to return the money they love so much. The church fakes will try to convince everyone Elijah is the antichrist. The 2 witnesses are judgement and righteousness, not actual people.
Thanks for sharing brother! I love you man! You are a blessing! Im praying for you and your family!!! I am watching and expecting for the rapture/event to happen on Saturday, April 16th 2022 during Passover and the full pink moon, it will also be Resurrection Sunday/Easter on April 17th in the eastern side of the world. Right now Putin's heart is being hardened from all the hate from everyone on earth, he is like a modern day Pharaoh, this parallel's with the story of Passover where the Pharaoh's heart was hardened. I heard a few years ago that Russia will be the one to start global nuclear war. A few brothers and sisters have had dreams of Passover and rapture dreams with a pink moon. Sister Darla from "God's gifts" YT channel had a dream that "It was all over during Passover" and she said she had a dream where she woke up yelling "The 16th!!". I had a dream last year where I saw the date of the rapture engraved in a cement tombstone in Hebrew writing and all I could understand and remember was that the end date was the 16th of a month! And a brother from "The unleashing" YT channel had a dream that the rapture happened on a Saturday! I believe that 2022 (Up until May 14th 2022) is the year of the rapture because Israel is turning 74 years old on May 14th and the rapture must happen before then in order for the Fig Tree prophecy to be correct. And I believe God is waiting until the very last moment which is the last full moon before May 14th 2022. On my channel there WAS a video of a sister that had a very detailed vision of the rapture/event (TH-cam deleted it), she says that the rapture/event will be a bright white light lasting a few minutes and we will be transformed into our heavenly glorified bodies and brought up to heaven. We will not experience any pain during the rapture/event. I give full glory to God/Jesus for this comment because I have been praying everyday for God/Jesus to reveal this information to me so that I can share it with everyone. "If God/Jesus is everything, then we must be inside God/Jesus, and God/Jesus must be inside us" See you in heaven! Pray and repent of your sins to God/Jesus, not to be saved, but to show respect to God/Jesus and strengthen your relationship. God/Jesus loves everyone of you like as if you were the only person in the entire universe! Share this message with your family and friends! God bless you and your family!

Amen! Thanks for sharing brother! I love you man! You are a blessing! Im praying for you, your family and everyone! I am watching and expecting for the rapture/event to happen either tonight (Saturday, August 7th 2021) during the Olympics (Until August 8th), I imagine this being the best time for the rapture/event to happen when everyone is distracted watching the Olympics. Today August 7th/8th is: - 326 days from the signing of the Abraham Accord peace deal on September 15th 2020 - 199 days from the U.S inauguration of president Joe Biden on January 20th 2021 - 154 days (22 weeks) from the 1260 day marker (March 6th 2021) from the Revelation 12 sign on September 23rd 2017 - 125 days from Easter/Resurrection Sunday on April 4th 2021 - 102 days (3 months and 11 days) from Passover on April 27th 2021 - 98 days (14 weeks) from May day (Illuminati's birthday) on May 1st 2021 - 90 days from the start of the war between Israel and Palestine on May 9th 2021 - 78 days (11 weeks and 1 day) from when the Unilateral truce was signed between Israel and Palestine on May 21st 2021 - 55 days from when the new Israeli prime minister was sworn into office on June 13th 2021 - 49 days (7 weeks) from the summer solstice on June 20th 2021 - 44 days from the Miami condo collapse on June 24th 2021 - July 25th - "Day out of time" (Mayan calendar new years eve) on the Julian calendar - 120 days UNTIL the next solar eclipse on December 4th 2021 If we are still here past tomorrow August 8th then I will be watching and expecting for the rapture/event to happen on August 8th/9th during the new/dark moon phase or on August 10th-14th during the crescent moon phase. A few brothers and sisters have had rapture dreams with a new/dark moon and a crescent moon including "Holly2moons", "Kim fisher", and "Eagle eye" on TH-cam. If we are still here past August 14th then I will be watching and expecting for the rapture/event to happen during the full moon phase on August 20th-24th. Many brothers and sisters have had rapture dreams with a full moon. I really can't see us being here past August 31st 2021 because the next school semester starts in August/September and children will be forced to wear masks in school despite that the children and their families were protesting this year against the school board's complaining about children having a difficult time breathing and sometimes even passing out from lack of oxygen. About 4000 rockets were fired at Israel from May 9th until May 21st 2021 when they enacted a unilateral truce between Israel and the Palestinians. They are now proclaiming "Peace and safety", in 1:Thessalonians 5:3 it says "For when they shall say, peace and safety, the sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape". I believe it may be a 70 - 100 day delay/grace period. I believe that 2021 is the year of the rapture because of the pandemic and near mandatory "jab" and a sister had a dream that the rapture happened right after they made the "jab" mandatory, on my channel there WAS a video of a sister that had a vision of the rapture/event and she said that it will happen before 2022 (TH-cam deleted it) On my channel there is a "Guided sleep meditation video" for re-programming your mind to feel more love, gratitude and universal divine connection. I have been listening to the same video every night for the past 2 years and it has greatly improved my life in almost all aspects. It also prevents me from having bad dreams or being spiritually attacked when I sleep. It has cured my depression and saved me from suicide, that proves that it is not satanic, I believe the sister in the video is guided by God/The holy spirit. I give full glory to God for this comment because I have been praying everyday for God to reveal this information to me so that I can share it with everyone. "If God is everything, then we must be inside God, and God must be inside us" We will not experience any pain during the rapture/event. See you in heaven! Pray and repent of your sins to God, not to be saved, but to show respect to God and strengthen your relationship. God/Jesus loves everyone of you like as if you were the only person in the entire universe! God bless you and your family!

Hola, Siempre te sigo,..!
Amen! Thanks for sharing brother! I love you man! You are a blessing! Im praying for you, your family and everyone! I am watching and expecting for the rapture/event to happen either TONIGHT, Thursday (July 1st) or tomorrow, Friday (July 2nd) on the LAST OFFICIAL DAY of SPRING before the summer solstice on the JULIAN CALENDAR on Saturday, July 3rd 2021. A few bible scriptures support a springtime rapture including Matthew 24:32 - "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near". And Jesus said he would raise us up on the LAST DAY! John 6:40 - "Yes, this is the will of my Father: that all who see the Son and trust in him should have eternal life, and that I should raise them up on the Last Day". About 4000 rockets were fired at Israel from May 9th until May 21st 2021 when they enacted a unilateral truce between Israel and the Palestinians. They are now proclaiming "Peace and safety", in 1:Thessalonians 5:3 it says "For when they shall say, peace and safety, the sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape". I believe it may be a 42 day (6 weeks or 1 month and 11 days) delay/grace period. July 1st/2nd 2021 will be: 77 days from April 17th 2021 (Israel's official 73rd birthday on the 5th of Iyar) 73 days from April 20th 2021 (Spring equinox - 1 month late) 49 days (7 weeks) from May 14th 2021 (Israel's 73rd birthday on the Gregorian calendar) 40 days from May 23rd 2021 (Pentecost on Gregorian calendar) 37 days (888 hours) from May 26th (Super bloodmoon lunar eclipse) 21 days (3 weeks) from June 10th (Ring of fire solar eclipse) It could be the 21 day delay found in Daniel 10! A few brothers and sisters have had dreams of the rapture happening on a Thursday! I really can't see us being here past July 2021, the first reason is because the U.S.A home eviction notices will expire in the end of July and 25 - 40 million Americans will be homeless because they are unable to pay rent since the beginning of the pandemic last year. (It was originally set to expire in the end of June, it has just been announced that it will be extended until the end of July). The second reason is because the next school semester starts in August/September and it has been said that they will make it a requirement for children to take the vax to attend school. I believe that 2021 is the year of the rapture because of the pandemic and near mandatory vax/jab and a sister had a dream that the rapture happened right after they made the vax/jab mandatory, also on my channel there was a video of a sister that had a vision of the rapture/event and she said that it will happen before 2022. TH-cam permanently deleted my main channel on June 13th with no warning, and I haven't posted a video since January! I take that as a sign that we are living in the final moments before the rapture/event! I give full glory to God for this comment because I have been praying everyday for God to reveal this information to me so that I can share it with everyone. We will not experience any pain during the rapture/event. See you in heaven! Pray and repent of your sins to God, not to be saved, but to show respect to God and strengthen your relationship. God/Jesus loves everyone of you like as if you were the only person in the entire universe! God bless you and your family!
Thank you for your kindness and informative comments. May God bless you too!
Thank you for this sermon. But it really didn't seem to answer at least my questions when it comes to slavery in the Bible. To me it boils down to two main points; 1. The Bible does condone slavery (I know you said it didn't, that it "allowed" it and "regulated" it, but that's pretty much the definition of condoning) 2. The Bible never says it's wrong, a sin or against God's will or plan. Just says we can do it, and the correct way to do it. Never that it's wrong. Your answer to the second question was that Jesus or Paul could not have started an abolitionist movement during Jesus time or the Roman empire would have stamped out Christianity. That could very well be true. But, there's a lot of room between condoning and starting an abolitionist movement. Those aren't the only two options. How were we to know during OT times that slavery was against the will of God if He didn't tell us? And instead specifically said we could? There are over 600 commandments in the OT and not one against slavery? I'm not expecting God to waive some sort of magic wand and eliminate slavery altogether, but at least tell us it's wrong? We just don't get that. Not in the OT and not in the NT. Jesus seemed to have the perfect opportunity for that when asked why Moses allowed divorce. Why couldn't He have thrown in slavery in that explanation? I think we can all agree slavery is worse than divorce. Even Moses and Jesus recognized that divorce is not wrong sometimes, but isn't slavery always wrong? And much worse? I often ask myself how much sooner slavery could have been eliminated in the world if the Bible had simply said that it was against the will of God. Probably thousands of years earlier. Certainly the pro-slavery people in the American South could not have held up the Bible as their justification for slavery if it had said that. And the book of Philemon is not the Bible or God coming out against slavery. I've studied it, and heck, it's not even Paul himself coming out against slavery. I just still don't get it when it comes to this issue. Sorry.
Dear Nick: Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful reply. You have raised some very important issues here. I appreciate your heart and willingness to share. I don't have all the answers on this and a lot of Biblical questions. I believe that we need to face all Bible difficulties head on without trying to hide them or excuse them. This sermon represents where I and our culture was 5 years ago. I'm sure if I preached a sermon on this subject today, I'd approach it with different language and treatment, especially in light of where our culture is today, specifically in the area of sensitivity toward racism. I think I will revisit this in a future sermon and your comments will be very helpful. As I think thru what you wrote, I wonder IF God had come out against slavery in the Bible, what country or nation or empire from the First Century onward could or would have had the courage and vision to obey it? Did abolitionism have to wait until England and America (both of which were guilty of practicing slavery to start with) as democracies with representative governments where abolitionists like the Grimke sisters and Hannah More and William Wilberforce and many others (many of whom were godly Christians) could voice opposition so that eventually it could be abolished at a national level? I realize that doesn't get God off the hook in the Bible. There are other types of slavery God does come out against in the Bible like being a slave to money, something many rich Americans are guilty of! But there are many forms of slavery...porn, social media, and... religion! I've traveled the world as a missionary for 32 years. And long before our current gen has raised these issues, I never tried to hide or coverup the sins of America's past. In Russia, right after the fall of the Iron Curtain, I lived in Moscow and spoke to many people in public forums. I always said that in my opinion, there were 3 horrible stains on American history that our nation would have to face God about: slavery, racism and abortion. Of course, I also pointed out those in our country who had been champions of freeing slaves, women's rights and the rights of other minorities. Well, you see you have me already working on a future sermon! :-) And I need to revisit this important topic. I can't remember if I mentioned it in this sermon, but slavery is increasing exponentially all over the world, and millions of precious men, women and children are exploited and enslaved every year for the most horrible things. So really, there needs to be a whole new abolitionist movement! Thank you again for your post and the challenge it gives me to keep working on this crucial topic for our day. Take care, and God bless, Frank
@@frankcarmical2122 Thank you Frank! I truly do appreciate this reply and look forward to you revisiting this subject. A ccouple of extra thoughts as you think through your sermon, based on what you said. And then one personal note too! You said, "IF God had come out against slavery in the Bible, what country or nation or empire from the First Century onward could or would have had the courage and vision to obey it?" A great question indeed. But we'll never know will we. My point/question is exactly that, and that no one could hold up the Bible to justify it like they have throughout history. And I realize the Bible talks about slavery to sin, and you raise some good points on the other items. But I think everyone can agree that slavery to sin, or slavery to money is completely different than an actual chattel slave owned as property for their entire lives, along with any children born to them. It's just not the same, even though we use the same word. Just ask a slave in the antebellum south if he'd rather be a slave to sin, or a slave to his master. The answer is pretty easy they would no doubt tell you. They're just not the same thing at all. Really kind of a bad comparison in my opinion. I mean the Bible is pretty clear in Leviticus 25:44-46; "As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you. You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their clans that are with you, who have been born in your land, and they may be you property. You may bequeath them to you sons after you to inherit as a possession forever. You may make slaves of them, but over your brothers the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another ruthlessly" This is the Bible condoning slavery. And this is the question and the problem. And on the personal note...I can't believe you lived in Moscow right after the fall of the Soviet Union. I did too!! I'd LOVE to compare stories and experiences. How long were you there and when? I was there in '94 and '95. An experience I will never forget as long as I live. And I love talking to people who were there at the same time. It's a much better place now, but then? Really hard....as I'm sure you'd agree! Thanks again, Nick
@@nickbrasing8786 I was still in Moscow about half the year in 94 and 95 but by that time, I was moving to other fields. I took the Metro and public transportation all the time. I never had a car. Actually, I am told it's much more dangerous now. But it was still a wonderful place. We need to compare notes on our time there sometime. :-)
@@frankcarmical2122 Yes, no car here either (though I did drive there a handful of times. Even had to bribe the Gai once when pulled over). The metros are wonderful. My stop was Kursky as I lived in the area. But we all "hitchhiked" a lot. Stick out your arm to the street and someone will always pull over within 10 seconds (we called it the 10 second rule in our office). You had to know a little Russian to negotiate a price but it worked well. I never felt much in danger, but there were simple things you just did not do. I walked to work and home everyday (a good mile each way) which wasn't bad (until winter came). I did once walk past a dead body just laying in the street that had been shot, though never heard the story. Did you ever spend New Years Eve on Red Square? Magical! All the expats in our office would eat Christmas dinner together at the Metropol, and go watch the superbowl at the US embassy. But the pook was terrible in the summer....

Frank, thanks for your well-prepared and lively presentation. May I ask your opinion? At Duet 6:7 parents are commanded to train their own children to love God. Why did God bless Hannah's plan to have Eli (who was not such a great father) raise her precious son Samuel?
Hello John, So sorry to miss your greeting and question. I'm not great at all this technical stuff. I just now saw your question after all this time. Please excuse me. You have a good question here. I'm not sure of the full answer. I know that Hannah was giving young Samuel to the Lord to serve all his life. The only place Samuel could learn to serve the Lord in those days was at the tabernacle in Shiloh where Eli was the high priest. Certainly Eli was a flawed man, like all of us, and he was a poor father not to disciple the terrible sins of his 2 sons. But it seems Eli was the best if not only mentor available in those days to train young Samuel. Eli does tell young Samuel to listen to the Lord, when the Lord first appears to Samuel, and then Eli does submit to God's prophesy later through God's message to Samuel. The only perfect mentor in history was Jesus Himself to His disciples. You could ask a similar question how young Joseph in Genesis could turn out so well when he came from a dysfunctional family with such a weak father like Jacob and 10 corrupt brothers. In the final analysis, the only reason any of us grow spiritually is God's Grace and Mercy and Power. I hope this helps. Thanks again for your question.
Frank, thanks very much for kindly replying. I've asked this question to a number of people, you are the first to connect Samuel's situation with Joseph's, and that matches my thinking exactly. When Sarah appealed to Abraham regarding Hagar’s persecution of her, Abraham protected Sarah. And when she appealed to him regarding Ishmael’s persecuting Isaac, Abraham protected Isaac. But when Jacob didn't protect Joseph from his jealous brothers (and actually inflamed their jealousy with his favoritism) God intervened to save Joseph’s life by relocating him far away to Egypt. So, when Hannah perceived that Elkanah hadn't protected her from Peninnah (but was instead inflaming Peninnah's jealousy by showing favoritism (1 Sa 1:5), and seemed unlikely to protect young Samuel from Peninnah’s jealous sons, Hannah apparently appealed to God to relocate Samuel to the safety of Shiloh. I think God recognized that doing so would not only protect Samuel, it would also provide a replacement for Eli’s wicked sons. So, in this case I think when God had to prioritize saving Samuel’s life over the requirement for parental training of Deut 6, the result was not ideal, but it was as good as it could have been for all the imperfect people who were involved. From this story I think we can also see aspects of God's love for his own precious son, Jesus.
@@frankcarmical2122 - HERE is The Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL" <- YaH’s Crucifixion He - "Behold the Breath" “Behold the HAND that Beholds The NAIL” PROVES - YAH The Heavenly Father HIMSELF was Who they Crucified That is EXACTLY what Moses Wrote Here is what they mean YaH's Name: (Ya)d + (H)e, as YaH is what Moses called Him and YaH Declared: "this is My Name, this is My Name for all generations" (Exodus 3) YaH is The Creator of “MAN”: Yad He, (HAND BREATH), as YaH's "HAND" Formed man from the dust of the Earth and His "BREATH" made him a living being (Adam) YaH's Sacrifice of Crucifixion for “MAN”: Vav He (NAIL BREATH), the "NAIL" through YaH’s "HAND", in Sacrifice of Crucifixion, that whosoever shall call YaH Savior, His “BREATH” brings forth life (Salvation) How YaH arrives: YaH arrives via the Tent of Meeting (Exodus 33:7:11, Isaiah 54, 55), where a Tent is erected outside the city, a cloud descends upon the entrance of the Tent and YaH appears... Why they demanded YaH to be Crucified: YaH was Crucified according to Hebrew law (Deuteronomy 21), to be Hung on an Almond Tree for BLASPHEMY as it was for His NAME they demanded Him Crucified. The Messiah claimed He was YaH... HE WAS YaH!!! HalleluYAH translates “Praise ye YaH” The Hebrew Book of Isaiah Isaiah 42:8 "I am YaH; that is my Name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols. Isaiah 43:11 I, I am YAH, and there is no other Savior but Me. Isaiah 45:5 I am YaH, and there is none else.
