True Fellowship
A few lines of text from the Kaufmann Manuscript, written in the Hebrew alphabet with Tiberian vowel diacritics (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Last Sunday morning my wife and I went for coffee on the Venice Boardwalk to meet a friend. I took a copy of my new book in hopes of selling it. We ended sitting between 3 Israeli‘s. The girl on my right was reading a book in Hebrew; very easy to strike up a conversation. The man and his wife on the left of my wife recognized the picture of the front cover and he said, “that is the gate that Messiah will come through when he comes to redeem Israel.” He immediately asked to look at the book. In the meantime the girl reading the Hebrew book wanted to know what it was all about. Within minutes the six of us were all talking to one another at the same time some in Hebrew and others in English. The book cover alone brought us altogether in unison there on a Sunday morning for some true fellowship discussing the Messiah!

A BETTER PLACE?
How many times have you heard “they are in a better place,” concerning someone who has recently died? It is spoken with sincerity the purpose of comforting a friend, relative or possibly even a surviving spouse. It sounds good, but if you really think about it what better place is there besides right beside the survivor? If there were a better place to be why wouldn’t we all be there?
I do not believe there is any better place to be than being alive. I know the Bible doesn’t teach anything contrary to this even though most Christians think it does. Muslims evidently believe there is a better place or so many wouldn’t be killing themselves to get there. No one is any good to God or to the false god Allah, dead. The Bible describes being dead as being asleep, but one of the differences between the two, since blood is no longer being pumped to the brain, there is no dreaming.
The Bible tells is in Ecclesiastes that there is no reasoning in the grave where we all go when we die; it goes on to say in 9:10 that there is no
- work–ma’aseh–action, doing or labor
- device–chesbown–reasoning, reckoning, intelligence
- knowledge–da’ath–perception, understanding, wisdom
- wisdom–chokma–shrewdness, prudence, skill
- no lovingkindness–goodness– will be displayed there Ps 88:11
- no giving of thanks, no memory Ps 6:5
Besides, if you could see there you wouldn’t be able to see anything because there is no light, just darkness. The grave is where every person who has ever died is today, with the exception of Jesus Christ. Even Jesus was in the grave for a full 72 hours before he saw the light of day. One of the reasons so many believe contrary to what I am showing you from the Bible is, when Jesus was dying on the stake he said to one near him that they would be with him in paradise. One misplaced comma (,) makes all the difference in the world. What Jesus really said, was “I say unto you today, thou shalt be with me in Paradise.”
What he didn’t say was “I say unto you, today thou shalt be with me in Paradise,” because Jesus didn’t go anywhere that day, but to the grave, where he stayed for 3 days and 3 nights! Paradise is always on the earth and nowhere above it. It does not even exist at the present time, but when it does come into existence that individual to whom Jesus spoke those words will be there with him.
There is no better place to be than right here with the ones who love you and the ones whom you love, contrary to popular belief. God bless,
Heaven: Where is it and How do I get there?
Last night my wife and I watched Barbara Walters‘ 2 hour special on Heaven on our dvr. I think it was great that she at least attempted to get some answers. I thought some good answers came from Joel Osteen, the Dali Lama and a Rabbi. In my new book I show you that the Bible says it is a “via point” or a brief stop on the way back to the land God gave Israel for an inheritance, in our new Christ-like bodies.
The only ones in Heaven right now are God and his son Jesus Christ and the heavenly host of angels. As the Dali Lama said, Heaven is not a final destination, and he is right. Only those who are born again of God’s spirit, by making his son the Lord of their lives will be there, not immediately after they die, not until the Gathering Together of the saints, called the Rapture. Most Christians know that the dead in Christ rise first, but at the same time don’t believe the dead are still in their graves. How illogical is that?
This is one example of the mysticism that has become part of church doctrine. In the Bible everyone with the exception of Jesus Christ, who has ever lived and died is still dead and in the grave. If dead Christians were not in the grave, there would not be any to rise.
Jews will never see Heaven. They were never promised it. They were promised the land, not Heaven. Anyone who confesses and believes what Romans 10, 9 & 10 says will go the Heaven at the Rapture. God, whose name is YHWH (pronounced Yahweh,) is no respecter of persons; He is an equal opportunity employer. No one gets missed, unless they choose to be left behind. The choice is theirs and yours. Choosing to not believe is still a choice.
Imagine what it would be like for our loved ones who have died, if they were already in Heaven without us. Do you think they might be a little lonely, a little resentful that you’re not there with them? Even the atheist lady Barbara interviewed made logical sense, “if everyone who has died is in Heaven now, why don’t we all kill ourselves and be there?” Suicide bombers do just that, believing that immediately after their deaths 72 virgins will placate their every desire. (What a rude awakening they are going to have!)
Part of the Sacred Secret mentioned in my book is that believers during this age will be joint-heirs with Israel. As we all know, the faithful of Jacob INHERIT THE LAND! Therefore, as heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ we inherit the land as well. But, we will enjoy a 7 year Layover with God Almighty, our Lord Jesus Christ and the Heavenly Hosts, before we do! What a day of rejoicing that will be!
I have several chapters dedicated to this subject in the last half of my book. God bless, Buy it now here

Here is an endorsement of my new book “Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth, A Fresh Perspective to Understanding The Bible,” from Pastor Matthew Barnett, Sr. Pastor at Angelus Temple in Los Angeles:
Fred Wolfe has dedicated his life to examining the history, practice, and interpretation of the word of God. The Bible is too often misquoted, and this book will help to shed light on some common misconceptions, challenging the reader to strengthen their understanding of God. With scholarly evidence and reasoning, he has written a blueprint of The Bible’s inception as well as the deepest meanings of its words. By closely examining one’s understanding of the word of God, they will find a faith and clarity so absolute that it can never be shaken. This book is a must read, no matter where one is at in their walk with God.

Taking the Wind out of the Muslim’s Sails
Yeshua (Isa) (pbuh) instituted true worship to his Father, YHWH (pbuh) on the Day of Pentecost 50 days after he rose from the dead. It is written in Jn 4:20-24:
Our (your) fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.KJV
Anytime you read BUT anywhere, it is a time for a pause, because everything written before that word is about to be altered by everything written after it. Jesus Christ instituted TRUE UNDENIABLE WORSHIP, which is truly spiritual. On Pentecost the disciples of Yeshua spoke in the tongues of men and angels for the first time in history. (You can read about it in Acts 2.)
No one can any longer bullshit anyone else about worshipping the One True God, YHWH. The apostle Paul speaks more about it in 1 Co 14:1-5
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual (pneumatikos), 2 For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth (what he is speaking) howbeit IN THE SPIRIT he speaketh secrets. 4 He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself; 5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, KJV
Speaking IN THE SPIRIT is speaking in a language that you yourself do not understand (secrets) and it is UNTO GOD. This is how a true worshipper, worships. We can praise the Lord Jesus Christ but true worshippers do so in spirit and in truth in the direction of God, the Almighty.
Allah is a false god and those who worship him are false, deceived worshipers. They are sincere in what they believe. As I have always said, Anyone can believe anything they want to, but whether it is true or not is another story. People used to believe that the world was flat
There is only one True God and he calls himself YHWH.
My Book Arrived Today!
I received my first books today to review for any Publisher errors and didn’t find any! It will be available for sale soon on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and at Westbow Press. This book is not just for believers in Jesus Christ, but for Jews, Muslims and all others who have yet to believe. In it I chronologically detail the events of the Great Tribulation, broken down into 2 three and a half year periods, as prophesied by Daniel and portrayed in the Book of Revelation. In the event that anyone chooses not believe prior to these events, you will at least know what to expect. It will be available in soft and hard cover as well as an e-book. God bless and thanks in advance for your purchase.
DEATH: Public Enemy Numero Uno!
Just before noon on Thursday, Harry B. Farris, one of my high school classmates died. Even though I have not seen him since graduation in ’67 we “befriended” each other recently on Facebook. No one I know knows how he died, but it is really isn’t relevant. What is relevant is that death the number one enemy of life; stands to reason, doesn’t it?
Logic and reason are no longer rational ways of thinking in this age, not only in the world, but especially among the church. It is written in 1 Co 15:26 that the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. It is also written in Heb 2:14 that through his own death Jesus Christ might (would) destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. Death is still with us and it will continue to be a part of our lives until it is destroyed; it will always be an enemy.
The reason it is an enemy and always will be is because it takes us away from those who love us and those we love.
Practically every religion in the world, including Christianity, teaches
something contrary to this (I go into this subject in detail in my book.) In a sense of time, death can be viewed as the threshold to a new life with Christ, but not immediately. Until death is destroyed, the grave will be the victor. No believer will see Jesus until the gathering together when the dead in Christ will rise as it is written in 1Thessalonians 4:16.
This time period that elapses could be days, years, centuries and even millenniums. For some it has been millenniums. To the dead, who are not conscious of anything, the rising from the dead will be the next thing they are aware of. To the living, the separation is much to bear. Until death is destroyed it will continue to sting the living as 1Corinthians 15:55 describes.
I was snorkeling in the Sea of Cortez one summer off of an anchored boat. When I came up from a deep dive my head, shoulders and arms became engulfed in a Jellyfish. This was the worst sting I have ever felt and lasted about a month before the scabbed over welts healed. As bad as this sting was it pales in comparison to the death of a loved one, no matter how old they were, or young. Nothing stings like death.
Can you see how logic and reason have been removed from all rational thought processes? Please pray for Harry’s family and loved ones as they learn to deal with this tragic event. God bless and keep you.
