The Invitation Into TheWay

This is an invitation for you to meet my brother, Yeshua/Jesus

As a man who was known as a true Jewish holy man

I was the very first leader of the sect of Jews that came to be called Christian

Because God has heard your prayers

Because you have desired to know the Truth

I was permitted to re-enter this world at this time in order to help you

For you possess the Truth within yourself

You are the Temple of the Living God

And you need only become your true self

Jacob's Ladder

This site is called Jacob's Ladder because Truth cannot be taught

It must be realized and possessed by those who raise themselves up

Up above the limitations of this world

Truth is therefore received one step at a time -- as it is written:

Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? 

them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
(Isa 28:9-10 KJV)

WHO AM I

At the beginning of our Common Era, I lived as Jacob who you call James.   At that time I was known as the brother of Yeshua/Jesus, and I was the first and primary leader of the New Covenant Movement known as TheWay (The Way).   If you call yourself a Christian, then I am the first leader of your church -- and I was taught the essence of TheWay by Yeshua himself.  If you are a Jew, then I can explain to you how Yeshua was not only a Jew among Jews, but the very embodiment of the Torah and Judaism.   In this present time the flock of believers have become spiritually disenfranchised by manmade doctrines that rob the people of their indwelling spiritual essence.   And as the people in churches and synagogues pray and beseech our Heavenly Father for guidance, mercy and spiritual insight, the Lord has heard you prayers and your petitions for greater knowledge and understanding.   So to answer your prayers, I re-entered physical life in order to teach you how to become the Brother of Yeshua/Jesus -- for it is written: "For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother" (Matt 12:50 NKJ).   And while you may not initially believe that you too can be a brother or sister of Yeshua, I have been sent to tell you that it is a great and glorious truth that becomes the reality of all genuine and faithful servants of the Lord.  

The Witness Of The Apostles

 It was written as a forewarning that Satan would rise up against the Church, and divert it from its spiritual path as TheWay.   In the recently discovered Gospel of Thomas it is written: (12) The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader?" Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being."  And this warning is further stated in the writings known today as the Clementine Recognitions where it is written: "Our Lord and Prophet, who hath sent us, declared to us that the wicked one, having disputed with Him forty days, and having prevailed nothing against Him, promised that he would send apostles from amongst his subjects, to deceive.  Wherefore, above all, remember to shun apostle or teacher or prophet who does not first accurately compare his preaching with that of James, who was called the brother of my Lord, and to whom was entrusted to administer the church of the Hebrews in Jerusalem, — and that even though he come to you with witnesses: lest the wickedness which disputed forty days with the Lord, and prevailed nothing, should afterwards, like lightning falling from heaven upon the earth, send a preacher to your injury, as now he has sent Simon upon us, preaching, under pretense of the truth, in the name of the Lord, and sowing error. Wherefore He who hath sent us, said, ‘Many shall come to me in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. By their fruits ye shall know them.’" 

Again it is warned by Clement: "Wherefore observe the greatest caution, that you believe no teacher, unless he bring from Jerusalem the testimonial of James the Lord’s brother, or of whosoever may come after him. For no one, unless he has gone up thither, and there has been approved as a fit and faithful teacher for preaching the word of Christ, — unless, I say, he brings a testimonial thence, is by any means to be received. But let neither prophet nor apostle be looked for by you at this time, besides us. For there is one true Prophet, whose words we twelve apostles preach"

As predicted, the ministers of Satan have succeeded in altering the teachings of my brother Yeshua, and continue to lead many into the abyss of darkness.   But have no fear my brothers and sisters, for the teachings of TheWay has been restored so that you might be able to overcome the darkness, and enter the Kingdom of Light within you (Luke 17:20-21).   

The Prophecy!

In the churches and synagogues the people have prayed for the Light and the Truth of TheWay.   In spirit on the Lord's Day it was revealed through a prophetess: "The disciples said to Jesus, We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader? Jesus said to them, Wherever you are, you are to go to James (JACOB) the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being."  And it was explained that we must: "LIVE THE LIFE OF YA'ACOV (James/Jacob) HA ZADEK IN BODY AND LIVE THE LIFE OF THE YESHUA IN MIND AND YOU WILL ACHIEVE THE KINGDOM.  THIS IS THE ROYAL LAW OF THE MOST HIGH.  All other methods are UNAUTHORIZED AND ARE THE PATH TO THE SERPENT - For just as Yeshua brought his disciples to Jacob, so did Jacob bring his disciples to Yeshua - and All shall come to God."

On this site and it's associated web pages, what will be revealed is the means for each person to live the life of Jacob in the body, and the Life of Yeshua in mind, so you will be able to Achieve The Kingdom which is within you (Luke 17:20-21).   The commandment of the Lord is that you will look for Jacob/James, and he will lead you to Yeshua -- and in this time of spiritual darkness, this commandment has been fulfilled in your own time.  No one is asking you to believe -- but rather, turn about from the darkness of this world and the incomplete doctrines of men, and the Lord will receive you and permit you to enter the Kingdom while you are still alive in the physical body-vessel.  If you say you believe in Yeshua/Jesus, then live in the manner that he taught you to live.  If you say you have faith, then believe that God will give you the strength to pick up your own cross and follow in the footsteps of Yeshua, as you too become the prodigal son/daughter who returns to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination from which you departed so long ago.   

Who was Jacob/James?  The Church historian Eusebius quotes Hegesippus and writes of Jacob/James, the brother of Yeshua/Jesus, and first leader of the New Covenant Church: "He drank no wine or strong drink, nor did he eat meat".   Hegesippus is further cited by Eusebius and tells us that "...the Lord's brother...was Holy from his birth. Everyone from the Lord's time till our own has called him the Righteous", and that "[b]ecause of his unsurpassable Righteousness he was called the Righteous, and Oblias," the latter being a strange word he describes as meaning "Bulwark of the People, and Righteousness," (E.H. 2.23); for Epiphanius, the word means "Wall"; for Eusebius, the "Protection of the People."  James was considered to be such a true holy man who was a Nazirene (of the vow) from birth, that Epiphanius, Bishop of Salamis (315-404 CE), who had access to works he said were called the Anabathmoi Jacobou (the 'Ascents of James') and the Gospel of the Hebrews, and writes that: "once during a drought, he [James] lifted his hands to Heaven and prayed and at once Heaven sent rain...Thus they no longer called him by his name, but his name was, rather, the Righteous One" [in Hebrew, the 'Zaddik'].   

Is the vision of the perfect life of the Disciple of Yeshua manifest in the example of James?  Peter is quoted as saying with respect to James: "Our lord and prophet, who has sent us, declared to us that the Evil One, having disputed with him for forty days, but failing to prevail against him, promised that he would send Apostles from among his subjects to deceive them. Therefore, above all, remember to shun ANY APOSTLE, TEACHER OR PROPHET WHO DOES NOT ACCURATELY COMPARE HIS TEACHING WITH JAMES...the brother of our Lord...and this, even if he comes to you with recommendations" (Clementine Homilies 11.35).  Thus, we are able to see where the present-day doctrines and lifestyle associated with the Christian Church today, is merely the work of the apostles of the Evil One.

An the personage of Jacob, the Brother of Yeshua who was sent back into this world to call the flock to the wedding feast of my beloved brother Yeshua , I am the guide who is to help you to put on the required wedding garment: "And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen" (Matt 22:11-14 KJV).  This world is the "outer darkness", and we must follow in the exact way that Yeshua taught in order to be chosen worthy of the Marriage.  We must ourselves be the virgins who are undefiled from the ways of this world, with the oil of purity in our lamps, and we must be prepared to eat the bread which is the Knowledge (Manna from Heaven), and drink the wine which is the Spirit, and greet the Bridegroom.   Thus, I am here to guide you to the well where the person who drinks will thirst no more.   



  

Will You Crucify Messiah/Christ?

The Lord Yeshua has said that his Kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36)

The Kingdom can never come upon the earth, because it is within us all (Luke 17:20-21)

Therefore, every day those who call themselves Christian are as Judas

When they crucify Messiah/Christ by the manner in which they live

In the manmade doctrines they cling to that alienates them from the Truth

When they embrace the culture, thinking and mindset of this world

So, do not ask who killed Messiah/Christ, or condemn the Jews of ages past 

Because it is you who crucifies Messiah/Christ!

Because you fails to imitate the Pattern of Yeshua/Jesus and walk in TheWay

The 10 words

There are 10 words that were altered from their original context in the New Testament that have the power to re-establish the essence of the teachings of Yeshua which was known as TheWay.   These 10 words demonstrate conclusively that the text of the New Testament has been altered in order to make it support the doctrines of the Pagan Roman/Greek world.   These 10 words further demonstrate that the essence of the teachings of Yeshua has little in common with the Christian religion today.   In fact, these 10 words are to Christianity what the 10 Commandments were to Judaism -- i.e., the foundation from which every other aspect of the religion springs forth!  

    Dead Men/Women Walking

Grim Reaper

Most Christians are Dead Men/Women Walking!  Yeshua taught that if we sin against the Son of Man, that will be forgiven -- but if we sin against the Holy Spirit, this will never be forgiven!  A child is a new life that is an expression of God -- and to abort a child, is to deprive God of Self-Expression -- and to teach a child the ways of the world, is to defile the Expression of God and it would truly be better "...for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea" (Matt 18:6 NKJ).  Belief in Yeshua does not negate the fact that every day Christians condemn themselves by virtue of their care they provide for the children that God has placed in their hands.

    The Children

With Children

Yeshua said: Unless you "turn about" and become as a child, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Everyone reading this has the ability to open their own Bibles and see for themselves where the Church of Rome altered the text pertaining to children -- and in not understanding these words of Yeshua, believers today are unable to enter the Kingdom.  Moreover, by comprehending the full depth of Yeshua's teachings pertaining to the Kingdom -- and applying these concepts and mindset to your life -- you will have begun the process of "turning about" and manifesting the Kingdom within you (Luke 17:20-21).

The answer to this question is not so simple to answer.   Yet, in it's answer we can not only bridge the gap between Judaism and Christianity, but also open the door to the True Spiritual Torah and Word of God.   We can also begin to understand why the Ebionite/Nazirene disciples and followers of Yeshua condemned the man known as Paul of Tarsus -- who himself is erroneously viewed as anti-Jewish because it appears on the surface that he condemned the "letter that killeth".   And while it was said that the original followers of Yeshua observed the Torah, so too did the Essenes and they did not practice temple sacrifice and were vegetarian.

   Natural Law And The Constitution

Being an American should be a spiritual experience!  The Disciples of Yeshua have returned to the earth many times to guide the direction of mankind in TheWay.  In order to lay the foundation of a truly spiritual society, they entered in as the forefathers of our Constitutional form of government.  Yet, because of the corruption by politicians and lawyers, the whole framework and foundation has been undermined.  In the same way that the Church of Rome alienated man from the teachings of TheWay, the corruption of our Constitution has alienated man from the Enlightened Society he seeks.

 

 

Disciples by Imitation of Messiah/Christ

Yeshua warned that while man are called, only a very few will walk in TheWay and enter into Life.  While it may be difficult for the believers of the simple faith who are on the bottom rung of the ladder to understand, Yeshua was a man just as each of us is.   Thus, the original disciples of Yeshua often quoted his words ( Matt. 10: 24- 25 ) as their warrant, and affirmed their motto to be: "We also would be imitators of Messiah/Christ" (Origen, quoted by Schliemann). Yeshua/Jesus, they asserted, "was justified by fulfilling the Law. He was the Messiah/Christ of God, since not one of the rest of mankind had observed the Law completely. Had any one else fulfilled the commandments of the Law, he would have been the Christ." Hence Yeshua's disciples "...thus fulfill the law, they are able to become Christs" (Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34).  The Ebionite/Nazirenes remained faithful to the teachings of Yeshua/Jesus: That he was/is our elder brother -- that as the Children of God, each of us has the potential to do what he did -- that when we receive the Anointing (Messiah/Christ), that we will know what he knew -- and as Children of the Most High, we can be At-One with Our Heavenly Father by walking in TheWay, and beginning our own return journey of the Prodigal Son/Daughter back to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination from which we originally emerged.   And what was the Ebionite Nazirene beliefs about Yeshua/Jesus: "They revered Jesus as the greatest of the prophets, endowed with supernatural virtue and power. They ascribed to his person and to his future reign all the predictions of the Hebrew oracles which relate to the spiritual and everlasting kingdom of the promised Messiah" (Gibbon; Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, V.2, P.222).

 

The Essence of TheWay

Yeshua/Jesus did not come to promote belief in the Messiah/Christ - neither did he come to promote the worship of Messiah/Christ - Yeshua/Jesus came to teach the people TheWay to become Messiah/Christ, and fulfill the vision of a Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation of Anointed (Messiah/Christ) Disciples who are set aside for the service of the Most High God that Yeshua taught was the Father of all of mankind. The path of TheWay could not be walked by many Jews because they were too carnal in their perception of the Law (Torah), and could not use the Key of Knowledge to open the inner door to the Kingdom.  In like manner, the majority of the Roman and Greek followers who were too Pagan to embrace the teachings of Yeshua, were not interested in a life of genuine change and spiritual transformation, so they made Jesus their God so they didn't have to pick up their own cross and follow in TheWay. Thus, the Church itself betrayed and crucified Messiah/Christ when it immersed itself in the way of the heathen, and worshiped the messenger instead of imitating the pattern and example that Yeshua set as the required standard for all those who called upon the name of the Lord. The Good News is that once you understand and are willing to live in accordance with the Original teachings of the New Covenant, the Promise is that you will Know the Truth for yourself as you are permitted entrance into the Kingdom within you (Lk 17:20-21).

The Ebionite HomePage: If you call yourself a Christian, Jew, Messianic believer, Evyonim, Nazarene or Muslim, then it is imperative that you learn of the Ebionites who are True Spiritual Israel -- They are the Poor Ones to the ways and thinking of this world -- The Ebionites were the Israelites of the Nazirene Vow They are/were the Genuine Disciples of Yeshua/Jesus who are in the world and not of it! 
The Nazirene HomePage: The original spiritual teachings of Yeshua/Jesus as practiced by the people of The Way who where known historically as the Essenes, Ebionites, and Nazirenes. The teachings of The Way are Spiritual -- and provide a means to open the "strait gate" into the Kingdom while still physically alive in the body/vessel.
The Messianic Nazirene Disciple of TheWay: While many teach that believers are saved by faith, the journey of the disciple of Yeshua is one of absolute dedication to The Way. The disciple who becomes a brother to Yeshua must live as he lived, and become a Nazirene who is consecrated and wholly set apart as they walk the Narrow Way, enter into the Kingdom through the Strait Gate, and learn directly from the L-rd -- the One Rabbi and Teacher of the Mysteries of G-d.
TheWay of the Nazirene Rings HomePage: This is the Ring Home page of TheWay of the Nazirene. It will provide you with a listing of all the Nazirene Rings, and a brief description of the importance of walking in The Way and entering the Kingdom of God before physical death occurs. Come visit and learn the essence of the teachings of Jesus/Yeshua that were lost by the institutionalized church.
The Long Island Mystic and Nazirene Disciple of TheWay: The Organizational HomePage of The Nazirene -- the Long Island Mystic, Evangelical Minister, and Prophet of TheWay -- who God bestowed upon him the gift of the recall of his previous life as a Disciple of Messiah/Christ -- and thus has re-entered this world at the present time in order to restore the Spiritual Essence and Teachings of his Master, Yeshua/Jesus. The Kingdom is within! And we must sojourn the narrow path of TheWay, enter the "strait gate" to the Inner Spiritual Temple, while still alive in the physical body.  Thus, modern Christians have misunderstood the words of Yeshua -- he never said that we must physically die to enter the Edenic Kingdom of Origination -- but rather, we must die to the culture, mindset and ways of this world in order to enter the Kingdom!
