The red heart of cupid and its hidden root that you need to know about the so-called “Love/lovers” day

Why We Are Skipping Valentine’s Day Forever

Walk into any grocery store this week and you’ll be met with a sea of crimson. Red roses, heart-shaped boxes of fancy chocolate, and aisles of cards promising eternal devotion. As your Elder, I’m often asked, “Elder Dan, what’s the harm? It’s just a day to show some love!”

I get it. In a world that feels increasingly cold, a day dedicated to “love” sounds like something the Church should get behind. But if we peel back the layers of lace and cellophane, we find something far more complex—and frankly, far more dark—than a greeting card would have you believe.

While the world calls it a “Love Day” (or at least acts like it), we need to call it for what it is: a man-made tradition with roots that are anything but love.

A History Painted in Red

We’ve been told the sanitized story of St. Valentine, the Roman priest who performed secret marriages. But history tells a grittier tale. Before the Church tried to “Christianize” the date in the 5th century, February 14th and 15th belonged to Lupercalia.

Lupercalia wasn’t about candlelit dinners; it was a pagan fertility festival. It involved animal sacrifice and rituals that were, quite literally, anti-love and pro-violence. Men would run through the streets striking women with thongs made from goat skin, believing it would grant them fertility.

The Church eventually slapped a supposed saint’s name on the calendar to redirect the pagan festivities, but rebranding a weed doesn’t make it a rose. Deuteronomy 12:31 gives us a stern warning about adopting the ways of the cultures around us to worship Yahweh:

“You must not worship Yahweh your Elohim in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things Yahweh hates.”

The “Love” Rebrand

Today, we’ve scrubbed the goat skins away and replaced them with Cupid—who, let’s remember, is the son of Venus and Mars in Roman mythology. People have turned “love” into a commercialized, shallow feeling.

Subtly rebranding a pagan ritual as a “Day of Love” cannot forever hide its ancient roots. When we participate in this man-made festivity, we are often following the world’s rhythm rather than the Holy Spirit’s. We are told in Romans 12:2:

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

If the “pattern” of Valentine’s Day is rooted in ancient superstition and modern consumerism, why are many so eager to squeeze the Gospel into it?

Real Love Doesn’t Need a Calendar

The biggest irony is that the “love” celebrated on February 14th is often conditional, fleeting, and high-pressure. It’s an anti-love rhetoric wrapped in a bow—a day that makes the single person feel lonely and the married ones feel inadequate if they don’t spend enough money.

Meanwhile, biblical love—Agape—doesn’t wait for a man-made, pagan anniversary! It’s a sacrificial, daily choice!

1 Corinthians 13 tells us love is patient and kind.

1 John 4:19 reminds us we love because He (Yahweh) first loved us.

We don’t need a man-made holiday to remind us to cherish our spouses or our love ones. In fact, when we lean on these secular “holidays,” we risk cheapening the wholistic, 365-day-a-year love that Messiah Yahshua commanded us to show.

Choosing Truth Over Tradition

Folks, I’m not saying you’re a villain if you buy your wife flowers and chocolates this week. But I am asking you to look at the “why.” Are we following the crowd, or are we seeking the truth?

We are called to be a set-apart people. Let’s stop trying to “redeem” holidays that were never meant for Yahweh in the first place. Let’s celebrate the love of Yahshua the Messiah every morning, without the need for ancient Roman baggage or a corporate mandate.

That’s it for today, folks. Stay grounded in the Word, not the world. I’m Elder Dan, signing off. I’ll see you next time, Yahweh willing.

I humbly pray all these things to Yahweh through Yahshua the Messiah, our Master and coming King, amen. Kindly keep praying for the shalom of Israel. Take care. Halleluyah!

Why People Are Falling for Fakes and Forgetting the Bible

2 Comments on Why People Are Falling for Fakes and Forgetting the Bible

Many have debased minds relying on their reprobate thoughts instead of the Bible’s 100% pure reliability

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Spiritual Podcast, your podcast for authentic Bible teachings. I’m so glad you’re tuning in today because we are diving into something that feels like it’s straight out of a sci-fi movie, but it’s actually our current reality in 2026.

Have you seen those videos lately? You know the ones—where a world leader says something completely unhinged, or a celebrity is suddenly endorsing a product they’ve never touched? You look at it, and your brain says, “That’s them. I see their face, I hear their voice.” But it’s not. It’s a deepfake. It’s an algorithm wearing a human mask.

We live in a world where “truth” has become something you can edit in an app. But here’s the scary part: as a society, we’re becoming addicted to the “plausible lie” while we treat the most reliable, historically backed document in human history—the Bible—like it’s the thing that’s made up.

Let’s get into why this is happening and what the Holy Scripture actually has to say about the “glitch” in our collective discernment.

If you would rather listen to this, just click the play button below. 🙂

The “Algorithm of Abandonment”

If you’ve been scrolling lately, you’ve probably noticed that outrage sells. Fake news travels six times faster than the truth because it’s designed to hit your “fight or flight” response. We’re being discipled by feeds that don’t care about what’s true; they only care about what keeps you clicking.

But this isn’t just a tech problem. It’s a heart problem. Paul actually predicted this “information decay” in his letter to the Romans. Check out Romans 1:28. It says and I quote:

“And since they did not see fit to acknowledge Yahweh, Yahweh gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.”

Think about that phrase: “a debased mind.” Other translations call it a “reprobate” or “worthless” mind. In the original Greek, it refers to something that has been tested and found useless—like a counterfeit coin.

When we decide that we are the ultimate source of truth, and we “unfollow” Yahweh, our internal compass breaks. We lose the ability to distinguish the “pixel” from the “person.” We start believing the deepfake because our minds have lost their anchor.

Why People Choose the Lie

It’s easier to believe a deepfake that confirms our bias than to believe a Bible that challenges our behavior.

Fake news gives us a villain to hate or a hero to idolize. But the Bible? The Bible gives us a Mirror. And honestly? Most of us don’t like what we see in the mirror.

Paul continues in Romans 1:29-31, and man, it reads like a comment section on a viral misinformation post:

“They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers… foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.”

Notice that word deceit. It’s tucked right in there between strife and malice. When we reject the Ultimate Truth (Yahshua), we don’t end up believing in nothing; we end up believing in anything. We become “faithless”—not just in the religious sense, but in the sense that we can no longer be trusted, and we no longer know who to trust.

The Original Eyewitnesses vs. The Digital Ghost

People say, “How can you trust a book written 2,000 years ago?” Well, let’s look at the “metadata.” A deepfake is created in a vacuum by a black-box AI. But the New Testament? It was written by eyewitnesses who had nothing to gain and everything to lose.

When Apostles Peter, John, and Paul wrote their accounts, they weren’t “generating content.” They were recording events that happened in broad daylight, witnessed by hundreds of people. They didn’t die for a “plausible lie.” They died because they couldn’t stop talking about what they had actually seen with their own eyes.

While we’re out here debating whether a 30-second TikTok of a politician is real, we have over 25,000 manuscript fragments of the New Testament that prove the message hasn’t shifted an inch in two millennia. The Bible isn’t “fake news”—yes, it’s the most “fact-checked” document in history.

How to De-Bug Your Discernment

So, how do we live in 2026 without getting lost in the hall of mirrors?

1. Check the Source: Before you hit “share” on that sensational headline, ask: Does this lead me toward the “malice and strife” mentioned in Romans 1, or toward the fruit of the Holy Spirit?

2. Immerse in the Original: If you want to spot a counterfeit, you don’t study the fakes; you study the original. The more time you spend in the Bible, the more “off” the deepfakes of this world will start to look.

3. Acknowledge the Judge: Remember Romans 1:28. Don’t let your mind become “debased.” Keep Yahweh at the center of your “mental tab,” and He will keep your discernment sharp.

The world is getting louder, and the fakes are getting better. But the Truth—the real, embodied, historical Truth of Yahshua the Messiah—is still the only thing that can set you free!

Thanks for hanging out with me today. If this challenged you, share it with someone who’s struggling to navigate the noise of this fading world. And remember: don’t just follow the feed—follow the Bible!

See you again next time, folks. I am Elder Dan, signing off. Shalom!

Who Is The True Elohim You’ve Been Looking For?

2 Comments on Who Is The True Elohim You’ve Been Looking For?

Yahweh is the genuine elohim, Creator, and Father in heaven that many religious, sincere people look for

Who Is The True Elohim You’ve Been Looking For?

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Spiritual Podcast, your podcast for authentic Bible teachings. I’m so glad you’ve tuned in today. I’m Elder Dan, your host.

You know, I was walking through the city the other day, looking at all the things people put their time, money, and energy into. It reminded me so much of a story in the Bible—specifically in Acts chapter 17. The Apostle Paul is standing in the middle of Athens, a city filled with statues and altars to every god imaginable.

But he noticed one altar that was different. It had an inscription that read: “To an Unknown Elohim.” Think about that for a second. These people were deeply religious, they were “worshiping,” but they were essentially shooting arrows in the dark. They knew there was something—or Someone—bigger than themselves, but they didn’t actually know Him.

If you would rather listen to this, just click the play button below. 🙂

Episode is also available to listen free in other Pod Networks below.

Breaking the Silence of Ignorance

Paul didn’t just walk past that altar. He stood up and told them: “What you worship as something unknown, I am going to proclaim to you.”

Friends, we are living in a modern-day Athens. People today are worshiping all sorts of “unknown gods.” Maybe it’s a stone statue; maybe it’s a career, a political movement, a lifestyle, or even a vague sense of “spirituality” that doesn’t require anything of us. We’ve been trying to fill an Elohim-sized hole with things that can’t talk back, can’t save us, and definitely didn’t create us.

But here is the hard truth we have to face: Ignorance is no longer an excuse. The Bible tells us that the Creator—the one true Elohim who made the world and everything in it—doesn’t live in temples made by human hands! He isn’t a concept we can mold to fit our preferences. For a long time, humanity wandered in the dark, and Yahweh overlooked that ignorance. But now? Now the light has been switched on.

A Call to Turn Around

The message Paul gave then is the same message we’re shouting from the rooftops today: It is time to repent! Repentance isn’t just a “churchy” word for feeling bad. It means to change your mind. It means to stop walking toward those false idols that leave you empty and turn your face toward the Living Elohim. We have to let go of the “unknown” and embrace the Revealed!

Proclaiming the Truth to the Nations

This is exactly why we do what we do here. At Spiritual Podcast dot org and our sister network, Yahshua the Messiah Ministry dot org, we are not interested in just being another voice in the noise. Yes, we are boldly proclaiming this hidden truth to the people and nations!

We want everyone—from our neighbors next door to people on the other side of the globe—to know that the Creator isn’t some distant, mysterious being or force. He has revealed Himself through His Son, Yahshua! The “Unknown Elohim” has a name, Yahweh, and His truth is being made plain for anyone who has ears to hear and eyes to see!

Yes, the days of guessing are over. The truth is out there, and it’s time to stop worshiping the shadows and start walking in the light!

Friends, if you’d like to continue this conversation or share your thoughts on this topic, leave a comment below or reach out to me directly. You are also welcome to peruse our previous posts or episodes on this website and visit our sister website by clicking here to read more about this topic and learn more genuine truths from the Bible.

Now, let us kneel on our knees, bow our heads, and pray.

Almighty Father and Creator Yahweh, forgive us for the times we have worshiped things that cannot save us. We thank You for revealing the truth through the Spiritual Podcast dot org and for calling us out of ignorance. Help us to walk boldly in Your light in the precious name of Yahshua the Messiah, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for listening today. If this message stirred something in you, don’t just sit on it. Take a moment to talk to the Creator today—Yes, Yahweh is closer than you think!

Brethren, may Yahweh bless you and keep you; may Yahweh make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may Yahweh lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. Kindly keep praying for the shalom of Israel. Take care. Halleluyah!

That’s it for today, folks. I will see you again next time, Yahweh willing. Glad to share with you today. I’m Elder Dan, signing off. 🙂

What the Bible Says About Gender Identity Confusion

The Scripture offers support and direction to those people affected by Gender confusion/ identity crisis

What the Bible Says About Gender Identity Confusion

Hello everyone. Thank you for tuning in to the Spiritual Podcast, your podcast for authentic Bible teachings. I’m Elder Dan, your host. I am so glad you’ve carved out a few minutes of your day to sit down and have a real, honest conversation with me.

Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of emails and coffee-shop questions about the world we’re living in. Specifically, people are feeling a sense of deep confusion regarding gender and identity. We see it everywhere—on our screens, in our schools, and maybe even in our own families. There’s a growing narrative that says being a man or a woman is something we choose based on how we feel, rather than a gift we receive from our Creator.

But friends, when the compass of the culture starts spinning wildly, we have to look back at the True Compass: The Word of Yahweh (Bible)!

If you would rather listen to this, just click the play button below. 🙂

Episode is also available to listen free in other Pod Networks below.

The Beauty of the Original Design

In the very beginning, Yahweh didn’t leave things to chance. He was intentional. Genesis 1:27 tells us:

“So Yahweh created mankind in his own image, in the image of Elohim He created them; male and female He created them.”

Yahweh didn’t create a spectrum of confusion; He created a beautiful, complementary binary. This isn’t a restriction—it’s a reflection of His character. When we try to blur the lines between “he” and “she,” we aren’t just changing a pronoun; we are drifting away from the blueprint that Elohim said was “very good.”

Walking Through the Hard Truths

I know some of this is tough to hear. But as your elder, I love you enough to tell you the truth, even when it’s counter-cultural. The Bible speaks clearly about when human desire goes outside of Yahweh’s boundaries.

The Warning of Sodom and Gomorrah: In Genesis 19, we see the account of Sodom and Gomorrah. While many try to re-interpret this story, the New Testament provides the commentary we need. Jude 1:7 says these cities gave themselves over to sexual immorality and pursued “strange flesh.” This refers to desires that go against the natural order Yahweh established.

Clear Boundaries in the Law: In Leviticus 18:22, the Word is direct: “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.” Yahweh isn’t being a “killjoy” here; He is protecting the sanctity of the union He created.

The Heart of the New Testament: Even in the New Testament, Paul writes in Romans 1:26-27 about how turning away from the Creator leads to “shameful lusts,” where natural relations are exchanged for unnatural ones.

Hope Beyond the Confusion

If you’re listening to this and you feel that tug-of-war in your soul—if you’re struggling with who you are—I want you to hear me: You are loved. Confusion is not from Yahweh. 1 Corinthians 14:33 reminds us that “Yahweh is not an Elohim of disorder but of peace.” When we stop trying to define ourselves and start letting Yahweh define us, that’s where we find rest. You don’t have to reinvent yourself. You just have to return to the One who knit you together in your mother’s womb.

We aren’t called to follow our hearts; we’re called to follow Him. And in Him, there is a clarity that the world can never provide.

The Man-Made New Year Calendar Reset Deception

Post date January 3, 2026
No Comments on The Man-Made New Year Calendar Reset Deception

The gregorian calendar’s january 1 as new year is man-made, and it’s incorrect according to the Bible

The Man-Made New Year Calendar Reset Deception

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Spiritual Podcast, your podcast for authentic Bible teachings. I’m Elder Dan, your host. I am so glad you’re tuning in today.

Well, we just watched the ball drop, didn’t we? We’ve got the “New Year, New Me” gym memberships starting, the planners are filled out, and everyone is focused on January 1st. But if you open your Bible and start digging into the Holy Word, you might find yourself asking a pretty startling question: Wait, is it actually New Year yet?

On this episode, we’re talking about the massive difference between the calendar the world uses and the one Yahweh, the Almighty Father and Elohim in heaven, has established.

If you would rather listen to this, just click the play button below. 🙂

Episode is also available to listen free in other Pod Networks below.

The Man-Made Tradition

Let’s be real here, folks. The Gregorian calendar—the one hanging on your fridge right now—is a man-made system. It was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. Before that, it was the Julian calendar, named after Julius Caesar.

Now, there’s nothing inherently “sinful” about using it to schedule a dentist appointment, but we have to recognize that it’s a Roman-influenced, solar-based system. It wasn’t mandated by Yahweh, and it definitely wasn’t what the patriarchs of the faith were using when they walked with Yahshua the Messiah more than 2,000 years ago.

In the Gregorian world, the year starts in the dead of winter. Everything is frozen, dormant, and dark. But friends, Yahweh’s rhythm is very different.

When Does the Biblical Year Actually Start?

In the Bible, the New Year doesn’t start with a clock striking midnight in the cold of January. It starts with life. If you turn your Bibles to Exodus 12:1-2, Yahweh is talking to Moses and Aaron in Egypt. He says and I quote:

“This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.”

This was the month of Abib (or Nisan), which happens in the Spring. Think about that for a second. While the world tries to “reset” when the trees are bare and the ground is frozen, Yahweh starts His calendar when the flowers are blooming, the lambs are being born, and the earth is literally waking up.

Why Does This Matter?

You might think, but “Elder Dan, it’s just a date. Why does it matter?” It matters because Yahweh is an Elohim of cycles and seasons. When we align ourselves with His calendar, we see a beautiful picture of redemption. The biblical New Year leads directly into Passover—the celebration of deliverance.

In Deuteronomy 16:1, it says and I quote:

“Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover unto Yahweh your Elohim: for in the month of Abib Yahweh your Elohim brought you forth out of Egypt by night.”

Yes, the biblical New Year is rooted in freedom and fruitfulness, not just a change of a number on a page.

The Power of Starting with Life

When we align ourselves with the month of Abib, we aren’t just following an ancient rulebook; we’re stepping into a rhythm that actually makes sense for our souls. Think about the psychological boost of starting your “New Year” when the sun is staying out longer and the birds are singing. In January, most of us are fighting seasonal blues and forced willpower. But in the Spring, the entire creation is working with you. There’s a natural momentum of growth that mirrors the spiritual renewal Yahweh wants to do in your heart. It’s much easier to plant seeds of change when the soil—both literal and spiritual—is finally thawing out.

A Community Focused on Deliverance

Another massive benefit is that the biblical New Year ties our personal growth to a communal story of deliverance. In the Gregorian system, New Year’s resolutions are usually pretty selfish—my weight, my money, my career. But the month of Abib points us directly toward Passover. It forces us to start our year by remembering that we were once slaves but were set free by the hand of Yahweh. This shifts our focus from “self-improvement” to “Elohim-gratitude.” It builds a society that values freedom and divine intervention over mere hustle and grinding.

Restoring the Divine Order

Finally, observing the year when Yahweh intended helps us reclaim our time from a world that wants to commodify every second. The Gregorian calendar was designed for taxes, politics, and administrative ease. Yahweh’s calendar, however, was designed for relationship. When we acknowledge the New Year in Nisan, we’re telling the world that our lives aren’t governed by man-made institutions, but by the Creator of the universe. It brings a sense of peace and order to our homes because we stop rushing to meet “deadlines” and start flowing with “divine appointments.”

The Takeaway

I’m not saying you shouldn’t get together and enjoy your time with your family on December 31st or January 1. But as believers, we should be aware that the world’s “system” is often out of sync with Yahweh’s “moedim,” His appointed times!

While the world is already burning out on their resolutions by February, you can look forward to the Biblical New Year in the Spring as a time of true spiritual renewal.

Indeed, the man-made New Year calendar reset deception is a reality, and it’s time for people to find out the truth!

Thank you for listening to this week’s podcast episode. Stay rooted in the Bible, not just the culture! If this message stirred your heart, kindly share this amazing truth with your family and friends.

The Gift to Prophesy is Nothing Without Love

Post author By Heaven Sent
Post date December 28, 2025
No Comments on The Gift to Prophesy is Nothing Without Love

A person’s gift to prophesy is nothing to Yahweh without that person showing true love to others

The Gift to Prophesy is Nothing Without Love

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Spiritual Podcast, your podcast for authentic Bible teachings. I’m Elder Dan, your host. I’m sitting here in my study, coffee in hand, thinking about something that hits close to home for anyone who’s ever tried to “speak truth” into someone’s life.

Yes, we’re diving into a heavy-hitter from the “Love Chapter,” but maybe not the part you usually hear in today’s sermons from the pulpits.

If you would rather listen to this, just click the play button below. 🙂

Episode is also available to listen free in other Pod Networks below.

The Verse That Keeps Us Honest

Let’s look at 1 Corinthians 13:2, the biblical verse that keeps us honest. It says and I quote: “If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.” Did you catch that?

Knowledge Without a Heart

Imagine for a second that you actually knew everything. You could predict the markets, you understood the deepest mysteries of the universe, and you had a direct line to what Yahweh, the Almighty Father and Elohim in heaven, was doing next. That sounds like the ultimate spiritual “superpower,” right?

But the Apostle Paul drops a bombshell on us here. He says you could be the most “spiritually gifted” person in the room, a person who literally moves mountains with their words, and still be a total zero.

Yes, you heard it correctly. Zero. Nothing. Nada.

Why? Because prophecy without love isn’t a bridge; it’s a wrecking ball!

Why Love is the “Operating System”

Think of it like this: Prophecy and knowledge are like high-end apps on a smartphone. They’re powerful, they’re cool, and they can do amazing things. But love is the operating system. Without the O, S, the apps won’t even open. Without the Wi-Fi connection of love, you’re just holding a very expensive brick.

When we share a “word” or a “truth” with someone, but we don’t actually care about the person standing in front of us, we aren’t being prophetic. We’re just being loud.

I’d like you to think of these two words right now: prophecy and love.

Prophecy identifies the problem or the future. Love identifies the person.

If we have the “insight” to see where someone is failing or where they need to go, but we don’t have the love to walk beside them in the mud to get there, we’ve missed the entire point of the Gospel!

Keeping it Real

I’ve seen “prophetic” people use their “discernment” like a weapon to make themselves look more spiritual or more “in the know.” It’s a dangerous ego trip.

If your “truth” leaves people feeling crushed instead of called upward, check your heart. If you’re more excited about being right than being kind, you’ve lost the signal. Yahweh Almighty is not looking for experts; Yes, He’s looking for icons of His affection!

Here are a few reflection questions I’d like to share in your head space for some honest heart-work. They are contemplative or introspective examinations that encourage you to dig deeper.

The “Why” Behind the “What”– Think about the last time you gave someone advice or shared a “truth” with them. Looking back, was your primary goal to be helpful and right, or was it rooted in a genuine, sacrificial love for that person’s well-being?

The Weight of Silence – 1 Corinthians 13 suggests that without love, our spiritual insights are just “noise.” Are there areas in your life where you should perhaps stay silent until your heart is more aligned with Yahweh’s love for that person?

Knowledge vs. Connection – It’s easy to study the Bible to gain “knowledge and mysteries,” but are you also spending time letting Yahweh’s love transform your character? Which do you find yourself prioritizing more during the week: being “informed” or being “transformed”?

The “Mountain-Moving” Check-In – Paul says even faith that moves mountains is “nothing” without love. If you achieved your biggest spiritual goals tomorrow—but lost your connection and kindness toward your family or friends in the process—would you consider that a success or a failure?

Loving the “Unlovable”– Prophecy is often about seeing what Elohim sees. When you look at someone you find difficult to deal with, can you ask Yahweh to show you one thing He loves about them before you speak to (or about) them?

Friends, I want you to look at yourself in the mirror and think very deeply of what I was saying here. Yes, I want you to be totally honest with yourself and, of course, with others as well.

Now, let us all pray together:

“Almighty Father Yahweh, we come before You today with humbled hearts.

We thank You for the gifts You’ve poured into us—for the moments of insight, the strength of our faith, and the words You give us to share. But Father, we admit that sometimes we get caught up in the ‘power’ of the gift and forget the ‘purpose’ of the Giver, that is, You!

Forgive us for the times we’ve used our words to be right rather than to be kind. Forgive us for the moments we’ve pursued knowledge to puff ourselves up, instead of pursuing love to build others up.

Father, we ask that Your Holy Spirit would calibrate our hearts. If we have the insight to see a brother or sister’s struggle, give us the love to carry their burden, too. Don’t let us be ‘clanging cymbals’ or ‘noisy gongs.’ Instead, make our lives a beautiful harmony of Your truth and Your grace.

Help us to remember that we are nothing without Your love flowing through us. Let our words be seasoned with salt, and let our actions be driven by the same complete, self-sacrificing love that Messiah Yahshua showed us on the stake.

May we leave this place not just wanting to be more ‘spiritual,’ but wanting to be more loving.

In the precious and powerful name of Yahshua we pray, Amen.”

The Bottom Line

So yes, spiritual gifts are tools to build the Church, not trophies to decorate our resumes. Today, let’s ask Yahweh, our Elohim, to tune our hearts to His frequency. Let’s worry less about “fathoming all mysteries” and worry more about loving the person right in front of us.

Because at the end of the day, people might forget what you predicted, but they’ll never forget how you loved them.

Is AI the Final Sign of the End of the Age Prophecy?

Hello everyone, welcome back to Spiritual Podcast, your podcast for authentic Bible teachings. I’m so glad you’re tuning in today. I’m Elder Dan, your host. Grab your coffee, take a breath, and let’s dive into something that’s been weighing heavy on my heart this week.

Episode is also available to listen free in other Pod Networks below.

You know, I was scrolling through the news yesterday—which is always a dangerous thing for a pastor’s blood pressure—and I saw three different headlines about Artificial Intelligence. One was about AI-generated medicine, another about AI “resurrecting” the voices of the dead, and a third about how it’s now outperforming human lawyers.

And immediately, my mind went to a dusty old scroll from 2,000 years ago.

I want to talk about Daniel 12:4. If you’ve got your Bibles handy, or just your phone app, look at what the angel tells Daniel. He says: “But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.”

For centuries, scholars looked at that and thought, “Maybe it means more people will read the Bible.” In the 1900s, people said, “Look! We have cars and planes! We’re going back and forth!” And they weren’t wrong. But friends, I believe we are witnessing the ultimate fulfillment of this prophecy right now, in our pockets and on our screens.

The “Knowledge” Threshold

Think about the phrase: “Knowledge will increase.” For most of human history, knowledge moved at a snail’s pace. It took a hundred years for human knowledge to double back in the 1800s. By the end of WWII, it was doubling every 25 years. Today? Some experts say with the integration of AI, human knowledge is doubling every 12 hours.

Think about that. People are not just learning more; humanity have created a “digital brain” that can process the sum total of human history in seconds. We have reached a point where the “scroll” Daniel was told to seal is being ripped open by algorithms.

AI as the Undeniable Proof

Now, some people ask me, “Elder Dan, is AI evil?” And I tell them, a hammer is not evil until you use it to hurt someone. But here’s what I can tell you: AI is an undeniable signpost.

The prophecy says that in the end times, this knowledge explosion would happen. It would not be a gradual climb; it would be a vertical spike. AI is that spike. We are literally building a global nervous system. We’ve gone from “searching for knowledge” to having an intelligence that anticipates our needs, tracks our movements, and influences our very thoughts.

When Daniel wrote “many will go back and forth,” the Hebrew implies a frantic searching—a restless, globalized world. Does that not describe us today? People are more “connected” than ever, yet they’re searching more desperately for truth because we’re drowning in a sea of data.

Why This Matters for You

I’m not telling you this to scare you. I’m telling you this to wake you up.

If Daniel’s prophecy about the increase of knowledge is coming true before our very eyes—and let’s be honest, AI is the “knowledge increase” on steroids—then the rest of the Book is just as real. King Yahshua is coming! Yes folks, the stage is being set!

We see the technology for a global economy, the technology for a “speaking image” (Revelation 13), and the technology to track every human being on earth. It’s all here. The “proof” isn’t in some conspiracy theory; it’s in the palm of your hand.

The Bottom Line

So, what do we do? We don’t hide in a hole. We look up!

If knowledge is increasing, let’s make sure our wisdom is increasing too. Let’s spend less time talking to the chatbot and more time talking to Yahweh, our Creator and Father in heaven. Because while AI can give you some facts, only the Holy Spirit can give you genuine truths and peace!

The scroll is unsealed, church. The signs are screaming. Are you ready?

Thank you for listening today, folks. If this hit home, share it with someone who needs a reminder that Yahweh is still in control of all the timeline. I’ll see you next time. This is Elder Dan, signing off.

The Hidden Christmas Truth That Will Shock You

The hidden truth about Christmas many didn’t know or had never been told before that the Bible Reveals

The Hidden Christmas Truth That Will Shock You

Hello, friends. Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, depending on when you’re listening! Welcome back to Spiritual Podcast, your podcast for authentic Bible truth teachings. This is Elder Dan, and I’m inviting you to settle in for a challenging but essential conversation. We’re in December, the most wonderful time of the year, right? Trees are up, lights are twinkling, and the carols are playing. It’s Christmas.

But let’s be honest with each other. If you search the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, you won’t find a single command to celebrate the birth of Yahshua on December 25th. You won’t find a mention of a Christmas tree, stockings, or Santa Claus. That’s because Christmas, as we know it, is a beautiful, man-made tradition—not a biblical holy day!

If you would rather listen to this, just click the play button below. 🙂

Episode is also available to listen free in other Pod Networks below.

The Silence of Scripture

When we talk about what Almighty Yahweh demands of us, we look at the Holy Word, the Bible. Yahweh gave us commands for the Sabbath, for Passover, for Pentecost; these were appointed times, holy days set apart by divine instruction.

But the Bible is profoundly silent on celebrating Yahshua’s birthday. Think about the Apostle Paul. He spent his life establishing churches, teaching sound doctrine, and correcting errors. Yet, he never once wrote to remember to observe the feast of the Nativity on the twenty-fifth of December!”

In fact, Paul warns us against getting caught up in observing specific dates and seasons when we don’t need them. Flip over to Galatians 4:10-11. Paul worried for the churches in Galatia that they were slipping back into religious legalism, and He writes them this:

“You are observing days and months and seasons and years! I am afraid I may have labored over you in vain.”

Paul’s fear was that they were exchanging the grace they had in Messiah Yahshua for bondage to rituals and calendars. For us, the day-to-day miracle of the Incarnation is what matters; that Elohim became man (John 1:14). It wasn’t just a 24-hour event on one specific calendar date.

In fact, the only commemorative act that Yahshua commanded His followers to observe was the celebration of His death, not His birth! When we observe the Master’s Supper, we are obeying a clear instruction. In 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, Paul recounts the institution of this practice, where Yahshua says:

“This do in remembrance of me.”

Think about that contrast: A direct command to remember His sacrifice, and absolute silence on the date of His arrival. This reinforces that our faith is centered on the stake, the resurrection, and the living Messiah; not an annual birthday party.

The Pagan Adoption of the Date

So, if the Bible doesn’t give us December 25th, where does it come from?

And speaking of the date, let’s look at the famous nativity scene. Remember what Luke 2:8 tells us about the night Yahshua was born?

It says, “And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.”

Now, picture Judea in December. It’s cold, it’s rainy, sometimes even snowy. Historically, shepherds did not keep their flocks out in the open fields overnight during the colder, wet season of late fall through early spring. Yes, they would have housed them indoors! The fact that the shepherds were “out in the field” strongly suggests the birth happened during a milder season, likely spring, summer, or early autumn. This is yet another piece of evidence that the December 25th date is an arbitrary, adopted tradition, not a historical fact!

The history is clear: The early church, after the Roman Empire became Christian, had a powerful desire to bring the new faith to pagan communities. These communities were already celebrating major winter festivals around the winter solstice—things like Saturnalia, a Roman festival, or the birthday of the Unconquered Sun, Sol Invictus. These were already huge cultural events.

Around the 4th century, the church hierarchy made a strategic decision: they took the existing, popular pagan date of December 25th and essentially Christianized it! Instead of celebrating the rebirth of the sun, they started celebrating the birth of the Son of Righteousness. It was brilliant marketing, but it was purely a human invention; a way to replace pagan rituals with Christian meaning.

It’s very crucial that people understand this. The traditions are old, but they are traditions of men, not commands of Elohim.

Christian Grace and Redemptive Celebration

Does knowing this mean we have to stop celebrating Christmas? Absolutely yes if you follow what the Bible says!

Do you see the substance here? Yes, the reality belongs to Yahshua, the Messiah!

My friends, if you want to set aside a day to celebrate the arrival of the Savior, you are free to do so by celebrating the Holy Feasts of Yahweh like the Feast of Tabernacles, for example. Your focus must remain fixed on the true meaning of the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 11:4). My friends, that Word who became flesh and dwelt among us was Yahshua, our Messiah, yes, the Savior of humanity Himself!

The danger isn’t the date or the decorations; the danger is elevating a tradition of men to the level of a divine command!

The Takeaway

So, let’s wrap up with this thought. Don’t celebrate Christmas out of obligation or because you think Yahweh requires it on December 25th. Remember, Christmas is a holiday, not a holy day; there’s a big difference! And Christmas is a man-made secular tradition, not a Bible-based sacred day!

Use this cultural moment of Christmas festivity, this pause in the year, to direct your every gaze back to Bethlehem. Use the lights to talk about the Light of the World. Use the gifts to talk about the ultimate Gift, Yahshua Messiah!

Indeed, you are free to commemorate Yahshua’s birth, not because of a man-made calendar, but because the love of Yahweh was made visible through Him!

Described in Romans 5:8, it says, “But Elohim shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Messiah Yahshua died for us.”

Yes, that truth is worthy of celebration every single day of the year!

So, go and focus on the Savior, Yahshua. May Yahweh bless you, and we’ll catch you again next time!

Why Antisemitism Is a Spiritual Issue

How and Why The growing wave of antisemitism on the world stage the bible predicted affects us all

Why Antisemitism Is a Spiritual Issue

Hello and welcome back to Spiritual Podcast, your podcast for authentic Bible teachings. I’m Elder Dan, your host. I’m so glad you’ve tuned in or clicked open this post today. Before we dive in, take a breath. It’s noisy out there in the world, isn’t it? The news cycle is spinning, social media is shouting, and sometimes it feels like we’re losing our ability to hear the “still, small voice” of Almighty Yahweh amidst the clamor.

But today, I need us to lean in. I need to talk to you about something heavy, something that’s been grieving my spirit, and frankly, something we as the Church cannot afford to ignore.

If you would rather listen to this, just click the play button below. 🙂

Episode is also available to listen free in other Pod Networks below.

I want to talk about the growing wave of antisemitism we are seeing on the global stage.

Now, I know. As soon as I say the word “Israel,” some of you tense up. It’s political, right? It’s complicated. And yes, geopolitics are incredibly complex. But the hatred of a specific people group? That is spiritual. And the silence of the Church in the face of it? That is dangerous.

I was scrolling through my feed the other day, looking at images from protests in major capitals around the world. And underneath the banners of political critique, I saw something much older and much darker. I saw the same ancient hatred that has chased the Jewish people through history. We see “anti-Israel” rhetoric quickly morphing into “anti-Jewish” hatred—harassment on college campuses, vandalism of synagogues, and a global standard of judgment applied to the Jewish state that is applied to no other nation on earth. Have you ever observed how many people discriminate against Jews? Although some anti-Israel countries and individuals out there may refuse to acknowledge it, it is an extremely sobering fact that cannot be disputed.

Friends, we have to call this for what it truly is. It is not just activism; it is a spirit of antisemitism. And as followers of Yahshua, we need to check our hearts and our theology.

The Family Tree

Let’s go back to the beginning. Literally, Genesis.

In Genesis 12:3, Yahweh makes a covenant with Abraham. He says: “I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

This wasn’t a temporary suggestion. It was a foundational promise. Yahweh Almighty chose a specific family through whom He would reveal Himself to the world. And from that family came the prophets, the Holy Scripture, and ultimately, our Messiah, Yahshua.

The Apostle Paul breaks this down beautifully—and firmly—in Romans 11.

He paints a picture of an olive tree. He tells us that the Jewish people are the natural branches and the root that supports the tree. And us? The Gentile believers? We are the “wild olive shoots.”

Here is the kicker, folks. Paul writes this in Romans 11:17-18:

“But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.”

Read that again. The root supports you!

We have to stop acting like we replaced the Jewish people. We didn’t replace them; we were invited in to sit at their table. We were grafted into their promise. You cannot embrace the fruit of the so-called “Christianity” while trying to chop down the root of Judaism. It just doesn’t work!

When we see antisemitism rising, we aren’t just watching an attack on a neighbor; we are watching an attack on the family of our Savior. Remember, Yahshua wasn’t just “sort of” Jewish. Yes, He lived a Jewish life, He observed the feasts, He read the Torah, and He is coming back as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.

Silence is Not an Option

So, what do we do? Because I know it’s heavy. I know you might feel helpless scrolling through the headlines.

First, humanity must repent of its arrogance. We all humble ourselves and recognize our gratitude for the spiritual heritage we’ve been gifted.

Second, we must speak up. History has taught us a brutal lesson about what happens when the Church stays silent in the face of Jewish hatred. Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: and yes, Yahweh will not hold us guiltless!

If you hear a joke that degrades Jewish people? Don’t laugh. Call it out. If you see a neighbor or a coworker making sweeping generalizations against the Jews? Challenge it with grace and truth. If you have Jewish friends or neighbors, check on them. Tell them you see them, you love them, and you stand with them.

A Call to Prayer

It is worth remembering that Psalm 122:6 commands us to “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.”

We pray for protection against violence. We pray for hearts to be softened. We pray that the Church would wake up and be a shield, a refuge, and a voice of love in a world that is obsessed with hate.

Now, let us all pray together:

“Father, we come to You today with heavy but hopeful hearts. We take Your Word seriously when You ask us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Almighty Yahweh, we ask for a covering of protection over Your people. Where there is hatred, bring Your love. Where there is violence, bring Your supernatural peace. We pray for safety within their walls and security within their citadels.

Our Father in heaven Yahweh, wake up Your Church. For the sake of our brothers and friends, let us say, ‘Peace be within you.’ Remove any root of pride or prejudice from our own hearts, and help us to be a refuge and a light in these dark times.

We ask this in the name of the Prince of Peace, Yahshua. Amen.”

Folks, the Divine called us to be peacemakers, not just peacekeepers. It’s time to get off the sidelines. Let us love our Jewish neighbors with the same powerful love that Yahshua, our Jewish Messiah, has for us.

Thanks to all our listeners around the world for joining us in today’s podcast. I know this episode was not a “light and fluffy” topic, but real family talks about real things.

Take this heavenly message with you into your week and beyond. Keep your eyes open, keep your heart soft, and keep looking up.

We love you all, especially those who are in the same faith we have. Yes, you’re in the proper and righteous faith if your spiritual views are consistent with our teachings, so keep it up!

The “Itching Ear” Epidemic: Truth vs. Lies

The “Itching Ear” Epidemic: Truth vs. Lies (Religion/Spiritual)

Alright dear listeners: Pull up a chair, grab a cup of your favorite beverage, and get ready for an eye-opening heavenly message from us today. Welcome back to Spiritual Podcast, your podcast for authentic Bible teachings.

I’m Elder Dan. You know what? Something has been heavy on my spirit this week as I look around at the landscape of modern faith. We live in an era of unlimited options. If you want coffee, you have thirty choices. If you want news, you pick the channel that aligns with your politics.

And terrifyingly, if you want “Elohim and Holy,” you can now pick the version that makes you feel the most comfortable.

If you would rather listen to this, just click the play button below. 🙂

Episode is also available to listen free in other Pod Networks below.

Yes, I want to unpack a piece of the Holy Scripture today that reads like it was written this morning, not two thousand years ago. The Apostle Paul, knowing his time was short, gave a final, urgent warning to young Timothy. He saw a future where people wouldn’t just drift from the truth; they would actively run from it.

Let us look at 2 Timothy chapter 4:3. Paul writes:

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires.”

Did you catch that phrase? “Wanting to have their ears tickled.”

Other Bible translations say they have “itching ears.” It’s a profound metaphor. An itch demands to be scratched. It’s an irritation that you want soothe immediately.

Paul is saying that a time will come when people feel uncomfortable—itchy—when they hear hard truths about sacrifice, sin, holiness, or judgment. They won’t “endure” it. They can’t stomach healthy teaching.

So, what’s the remedy for an itching ear in today’s culture? You find someone to scratch it.

We see this happening right now. People treat spirituality like a buffet. They pass over the broccoli of repentance and load their plates with the cotton candy of “blessings on demand.” They don’t want a prophet; they want a cheerleader! They don’t want correction; they want validation!

And guess what? If you want preachers who tell you that Almighty Yahweh and Savior Yahshua’s primary goal is your financial success and your emotional comfort, and that They never demand you change your unrighteous lifestyle… yes, you can find those Bible preachers or teachers in five seconds flat on YouTube!

Paul says they “accumulate” these teachers. They gather them in heaps. They build their own echo chambers where they only hear what matches their own carnal desires. It’s spiritual consumerism at its absolute worst. They aren’t seeking Almighty Yahweh; they are seeking a divine rubber stamp for how they already want to live.

It reminds me of way back in Isaiah 30:10, where the rebellious people literally told the prophets: “Do not prophesy to us right things; Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.”

They begged to be lied to because the truth hurt too much!

Now, I need to lean into the microphone a little bit here and speak directly to you about where we stand.

If you stumbled across Yahshua the Messiah Ministry and this podcast hoping for that kind of ear-tickling, I have to tell you with all love: you are in the wrong places.

Our ministry is not designed to win a popularity contest. We aren’t looking at analytics to see which watered-down message gets the most shares. We do not deal in “flowery words” designed to entice followers by hiding the cost of discipleship!

Why? Because that is not love. Lying to someone to make them feel temporarily good while they walk off a spiritual cliff is not love!

Yahshua the Messiah didn’t tickle ears. He shocked them. He said hard things like, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his stake, and follow Me.” (Matthew 16:24).

Yes, being nailed on a stake or a tree isn’t comfortable. Self-denial doesn’t scratch an itch; it creates a wound in our pride.

We are here for the spiritual truth-seekers. We are here for the people who are sick of the sugar rush of popular religion and are starving for the authentic meat of the Holy Word. We are here for those who want the real Messiah or Savior, not a cardboard cutout version that asks for nothing.

Folks, do not let your desires dictate your doctrine. Do not look for a spiritual preacher or teacher who makes you feel good in your mess; instead, look for the truth that washes you clean of it.

It might not feel good in the moment. But I promise you, it’s the only thing that leads to eternal life! Now, will you follow the epidemic “itching ears” of lies or stay true to the authentic teachings of Yahweh and Yahshua from the Bible?

I urge you to remain sharp and stay in the Holy Word. Until next time.
