Articles of Faith
1. There is ONE Creator God, whose name is YEHOVAH (YHVH): the One
who will be, is and always was. He is the Great, the Mighty, the Awesome One.
Beside Him THERE IS NO OTHER: from before the universe was formed and
into eternity. He is the ONE LORD, KING, ROCK, REDEEMER, and SAVIOR;
the One who is ultimately holy, merciful and Just. To Him ALONE we offer our
deepest love and highest devotion (Genesis 1:1; Exodus 3:13-15; 34:5-7;
Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 42:8; 43:10-11; 44:6-8, 24; 45:5-6, 21-22).
2. Yeshua the Messiah was a FULLY HUMAN BEING born from the union of
his father Joseph and mother Mary (Luke 4:22; John 6:42). The appearance of
the Messiah (Anointed One), a King and descendant of David, as chief HUMAN
AGENT of YEHOVAH, will usher in the Kingdom of YEHOVAH God here on this
earth. He will be empowered by YEHOVAH to disarm the nations and bring
peace and harmony to the world through the spreading of YEHOVAH's Truth.
Yeshua the Messiah is known as the Second Adam (I Corinthians 15:45). Adam
brought ETERNAL DEATH to his descendants through disobedience and
partaking of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. On the other hand,
Yeshua the Messiah, at his first appearance, brought ETERNAL LIFE to
YEHOVAH’s people Israel through obedience and partaking of the Tree of Life.
His death on the tree -- and his subsequent resurrection from the dead as the
first-born of many Israelite brethren -- assures those Israelite followers of
YEHOVAH God that they will rule as spirit beings in the Kingdom of YEHOVAH
God. The Messiah's second appearance will be proceeded by the return of an
Elijah figure, who will restore the regathered people of Israel to a pure faith
(Isaiah 11; Micah 5:2-4; Jeremiah 23:5-6;; 33:14-18; Malachi 3-4).
3. The Kingdom of YEHOVAH God is the GOAL and MEANING of history; it
is the chief longing of those who know, love and serve YEHOVAH God in the
present time. In that age YEHOVAH God Himself will dwell with His people
Israel, the will of YEHOVAH God will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and the
knowledge of YEHOVAH will fill the world as the waters cover the sea.
YEHOVAH will be KING over all the earth, His Truth will reach all nations, and all
of His people Israel will experience the joy of His salvation. The perfect and good
WAY of YEHOVAH God will be demonstrated once and for all, in sharp contrast
to the tragic millennia of human evil, rebellion, waste and ruin. The people of
Israel will be able, at long last, to reach their full potential as creatures made in
the image and likeness of their Creator God. The Kingdom of YEHOVAH God will
