Chapter 19
Power of the Set-Apart Name
"He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of Elohim, even to them that believe on His name." John 1:11, 12
Even the seventy disciples of YAHUSHUA testified, saying, "Master, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name." Luke 10:17
The Set-Apart Name messages will be one of the most powerful messages here in these last days. How do I know? The Scriptures are full of types and their anti-types. Paul said, "All these things happened unto them for ensamples [or types, margin]: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." I Corinthians 10:11
Remember David, the shepherd boy, he came to bring some food to his brothers who were fighting against the Philistines. But lo, they had stopped fighting against the Philistines because of a big giant, called Goliath. David said, "Who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living Elohim?" I Samuel 17:26
So, to make a long story short, David took his sling and picked up five smooth stones, (of course he only needed one).
Goliath makes a death decree upon David and cursed David by his Elohim. (I Samuel 17:43,44). David overlooked these threats by faith and says, "Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and a shield: but I come to thee in the Name of YAHUWAH of hosts, the Elohim of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied " I Samuel 17:45.
What happened? David put one little stone in his sling, and the sling went round and round and round and round, and one little stone went up in the air and the giant came a tumbling down!
This "stone" represents what? The Set-Apart Name! This was the stone that was set at naught by the soldiers.
"Because I will publish the name of YAHUWAH: ascribe ye greatness unto our Elohim. He is the Rock." Deuteronomy 32: 3,4
"Their rock is not our Rock." Deut. 32:31. For they literally worship rocks, which is an abomination (Rev. 9:20). David took what represented the set-apart name and hurled it right into the forehead of the giant. What happened? He died! The giant represents who? That's right, the Devil!
Martin Luther wrote in his song, "A Mighty Fortress" (compare Proverbs 18:10): "And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to un-do us, we will not fear, for (YAH) hath willed His truth to triumph through us. The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure for lo his doom is sure, one little word shall fell him."
That one little word which will overthrow the Devil is the SET-APART NAME. ("In My name shall they cast out devils." Mark 16:17)
Nimrod the mighty hunter, who also represents the Devil, was a threat to the inhabitants of the then known world. His system of religion was in defiance of heaven, but it was "Shem" (Whose name in Hebrew means name) that slew Nimrod, that giant of a man! (see The The Two Babylons p. 63-66). Again we sec how the name overthrew the giant.
When Kepha and John were asked, "By what power, or by what name have ye done this?" Kepha replied, "By the name of YAHUSHUA the Messiah of Nazareth ... This is the stone which was set at naught of you builders (reformers), which is become the head of the corner.
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:7, 10-12
All of these Old Testament stories point to a greater event about to happen! There is this great big giant image, which was in the making all the way back from Babylon, Media-Persia, Greece, Rome, and the ten divisions of Rome.
Daniel said to king Nebuchadnezzar, "Thou art this head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee (which was Media-Persia see Dan. 5:31) and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth." Daniel 2:39. Which kingdom conquered Media-Persia? That's right, Greece! Daniel 8:20,21.
The fourth kingdom, we all know, was the Roman empire; and the ten toes, part of iron and part of clay, are the ten divisions of Rome.
Hitler nor Napoleon could ever conquer all of Europe because of these very words of Scripture: "they shall mingle themselves with the seed of man: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay." Daniel 2:43. That is powerful! That is why Europe is not united even now! The New World Order will never be completely set up because of these words.
As the New World Order pushes to be completely set up, and becomes partly strong, YAHUWAH will pour out plagues, and it will be partly broken (Dan. 2:42)
Watch out for that stone! It's coming! Boom! Smash!
"A stone was cut out with out hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay and brake them in pieces." Dan. 2:34
The authority of the Kingdom of YAHUWAH "shall never be destroyed: and the Kingdom thereof shall not be left to another people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever." Daniel 2:44 margin
"For as much as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great Eloah hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof is sure." Daniel 2:45
So let us identify ourselves with this Rock, the Set-Apart Name, the Name "of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named." Ephesians 3:15. The Kingdom of YAHUWAH!
"Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder." Luke 20:18
The Scripture hath said, "The wicked are not so (like a tree planted by the rivers of waters, who meditate in the law day and night), but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For YAHUWAH knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the wicked shall perish." Psalm 1:4, 6
Let us not occupy the seat of the scornful concerning the set-apart name. Whoever thought the Name was vain?
Christendom (Babylon) is mad upon their idols, but the set-apart name will overthrow Babylon.
