Spectacular exit of Av, and entrance of Elul! The Heavens definitely declare the glory of the Risen King.
The Modern Disguises of the Occult
The occult rarely presents itself as evil. Today, it often comes disguised as entertainment, spirituality, personal empowerment, “alternative science,” or harmless curiosity.
From movies and video games to astrology, tarot, WitchTok, and New Age practices, ideas that Scripture clearly warns against have quietly become part of everyday culture. But when darkness no longer looks like darkness, discernment becomes more important than ever.
Are we recognizing the disguise?
We invite you to read The Modern Disguises of the Occult and discover why the Torah’s ancient warnings are remarkably relevant to our generation.

THE SABBATH SHOWDOWN: THE FINAL SUBPOENA By Executive Producer ~Mike Molinar~.

WHEN HEALING IS A CRIME !!
Imagine being born completely blind. For your entire life, you’ve lived in pitch darkness, begging by the roadside. Then, Yeshua (Jesus) spits on the ground, makes mud with His saliva, applies it to your eyes, and tells you to wash in the Pool of Siloam. You wash—and suddenly, for the very first time in your life, YOU CAN SEE! (John 9:1-7).
You would expect the local religious leaders, the rabbis who claimed to represent the God of Israel, to weep tears of joy and throw a massive celebration for this incredible, heavenly miracle.
Did they rejoice? NOPE. Do you know what the very first thing this man saw after his eyes were opened? Instead of a community full of love and celebration, the first thing he sees is a Rabbinic Subpoena. He is dragged straight into a religious court interrogation (John 9:13).

### The Interrogation and the "Mud-Making" Loophole
Why were they furious instead of ecstatic? Because Yeshua deliberately chose to do this on Shabbat, right in front of their man-made legal systems.
According to the oral traditions later recorded in the Mishnah (*Seder Moed, Shabbat 7:2*), there are 39 categories of forbidden work (*Melachot*) on the Sabbath. Two of these strictly forbidden categories are:
1. **Kneading (*Lash*):** Combining a liquid and a powder to form a paste or dough. By mixing saliva with dirt, Yeshua technically violated their rabbinic restriction against "making mud."
2. **Smeating/Scraping (*Memachek*):** Spreading a paste or salve over a surface (like putting mud on eyes).
Because Yeshua chose compassion over their man-made codes, the leaders immediately blinded themselves to the miracle. They literally stated: “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath” (John 9:16). They called the Messiah a "sinner" simply because He bypassed their extra rules to deliver a human being from darkness!

### Spiritual Blindness & The Broken Family
The pure malice of this religious system didn't stop there. The leaders were so desperate to protect their authority that they dragged the healed man's parents into court to interrogate them too (John 9:18-23).
The parents were absolutely terrified because the leaders had already decreed that anyone who confessed Yeshua as Messiah would be excommunicated and thrown out of the synagogue (*Cherem*). Think about the psychological cruelty of that system: they cared so little about human restoration that they threatened to destroy a family's social and spiritual standing just to keep their control.
When the healed man stood his ground and boldly pointed out the obvious—*“Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing”*—they snapped. Their response? “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out (John 9:30-34).

### The Weightier Matters of Sinai
This is the ultimate proof of a broken religious mindset. When legalistic systems value their own "fences" and traditions over justice, mercy, and love, they develop a profound spiritual blindness. They would literally rather keep a man blind than see their man-made rules broken.
Moses explicitly commanded us in Deuteronomy 4:2 and Deuteronomy 12:32 never to add to or subtract from God's Word. The simple covenant at Mount Sinai was built on loving God and loving your neighbor. It didn't include thousands of pages of loopholes that make healing a crime.
Stop letting organized religious systems and human commentary dictate your walk with the Creator. Get back to the unfiltered Word. Get back to Mount Sinai. Obey Moses, and obey Yeshua!

Event 92-The issue of blood: The Chronological Gospels Bible
~Michael Rood~
Would love to hear what Ruach is showing you in this narrative! Please leave your comments.
We all know that Hollywood is a perpetuator of all things evil and perverse. Most of these themes are obvious, and simple enough to avoid or at least be aware of. Because of the Spirit that lives in us and the understanding we have been given through the Word, we can discern good from evil according to YeHoVaH.
But what if there is a plot in their tactics that is even more sinister and sneaky than we realize?
For generations, the story of the gospel has been plagiarized by writers and directors. A hero gives his life sacrificially for an undeserving society, and somehow before the credits roll, he emerges from the smoke and flames, walking victorious and covered in battle wounds. We have seen this time and time again. This replaying of the gospel story, without giving credit where it is due, is bad enough.
But lately, we have seen more of an inversion of the true gospel of the kingdom than a simple retelling of it.
Increasingly, we see movies and series with talk of dimensions and other worlds crashing violently into the world and reality we know and love. There is some antagonist who is all powerful and seemingly undefeatable. He is the one telling everyone that the world they live in is evil and must come to an end.
In the end, some group of unexpected superheroes bands together and, against all odds, they stop this new world from crashing into their imperfect but beloved Earth. The bad guy is defeated and sent off into the netherworld and everyone gets to continue life happily ever after.
Upon closer inspection we see that this is a retelling, really a reversal, of the future second-coming of Yeshua and everything that we as believers hope in. We are awaiting a new heaven and a new earth; redemption coming on the clouds as King Yeshua rushes in to crush evil and establish a reign of true peace on the earth. And, ultimately, that means an end to the world as we know it.
This victorious king is a threat to the empires of man and Hollywood is working double time to condition the minds of man to reject the coming and eternal Kingdom. Have you noticed this as well?
This is the epitome of calling what is good evil and what is evil good. We have sure got our work cut out for us, saints!
The good news is, Hollywood is lying. There is no group of misfit teenagers with telepathic powers that will join together to stop Yeshua in his tracks. He is coming. And there is nothing that can stop him. Let's keep working to get as many people on the right side of this epic battle as possible.
