[Battle Plan for those who are away from The Set-Apart Place]
SPIRITUAL WARFARE BATTLE PLAN
A DAY OF BATTLE FOR THE LAND OF ISRAEL
AND THE NATION OF YEHUDIM (JEWS) WORLDWIDE
FINAL CAMPAIGNS OF THE END TIME
APRIL 16, 2008
The battle belongs to YAHUAH, and He fights our battle for us! All the wars of Israel written in Scripture were spiritual. Each time the kings of Israel went to battle, they petitioned YAH for help and obeyed His every word of instruction. Wars are spiritual: it is always good against evil. Spiritual warfare stops the works of the devil, so that good overcomes the evil.
In this campaign of spiritual warfare, we will join with the mighty warriors of YAH to execute our part in the battle. Below is a strategic plan of deployment and positioning as YAH fights to deliver Israel and the people of YAH worldwide from the hands of her enemies. Deliverance, peace, and success will come to Israel and the world. YAH will fight for His people until all evil ceases from the earth and righteousness and good take over.
YAHUSHUAH came to stop the works of the devil and to heal all those who were oppressed by the devil, for He was anointed with the Set-Apart Spirit and with power, and went about doing good, for Elohim was with Him (Acts 10:38). YAHUSHUAH made a way for His believers to follow in His footsteps. Because of the Spirit of truth, we are born again, not of the flesh, but of the Spirit. Being born of Elohim, we do not sin, and therefore are able to have the Messiah in us, equipping us for the Great Day of Judgment, the wrath of Elohim. Many are called, but few are chosen.
Armageddon: the war of all wars. We believe that this campaign is part of the final stage of End-time wars between good and evil. This is a plan of hope and encouragement—to know that Elohim sees all the evils of mankind. He saw the Holocaust, the genocide in different parts of the world, the extreme hatred for His people, and the purposely-untreated sicknesses and diseases, such as AIDS in Africa and other Third World countries. YAH sees the world’s economy controlled by an unrighteous elite. Workers of the sons of darkness control the political, economic, and religious regimes of the world. Their aim is to destroy good and control the world for evil. YAHUSHUAH has given us a spiritual way to fight back! YAHUSHUAH said to Kepha “whatever you bind on earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever you loosen on earth shall be having been loosened in the heavens” (Matt. 16:19). The wars against evil are spiritual. The battles are won before the battle even begins.
There is hope for Israel and hope for the world. We now know what to do, and we know that YAHUAH must be with us in order to win. YAHUAH is with our congregation, the priests, and the elders to carry out His plans. Praise YAH!
PARTIES INVOLVED—Elohim fights the battle!
There are two opposing sides engaged in battle: the Sons of Light vs. the Sons of Darkness.
The spiritual will join with the natural.
Sons of Light: YAHUSHUAH, the Mighty Warrior of YAH, Son of the Living Elohim and High Priest over His Assemblies, heads the Sons of Light.
The Sons of Light include: Chief Messengers—Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel—and the heavenly hosts (spiritually); and the Tribes of Levi, Judah, and Benjamin who join with the returning exiles, the redeemed of YAH (those who have returned to YAH, to the Torah, and to Israel; naturally). This congregation, Family of Messiah Fellowship the redeemed of Elohim, a set-apart nation of Yahudim has been prepared to join with the set-apart Messengers of יהוה —the Sons of Light—for the day of battle.
Sons of Darkness: Belial and all his armies (the fallen angels), all the enemies of YAH, and the enemies of Israel; Spirit of Amaleq, fallen angels, tents of Edom, Yishmaelites, Moab, Hagarites, Gebal, Ammon, Amaleq, Philistia, Tsor and Ashshur.
PREPARATION FOR THE BATTLE
Spiritual Equipping of Priest and Congregation:
1) Be a returned exile, Torah-observant, and believer in YAHUSHUAH
2) Put on the Complete Armor of Elohim:
a) Word of Truth girded about our waist. YAHUAH is Sovereign of the Universe, and YAHUSHUAH His Son is the Messiah of Israel Who was raised from the dead. YAHUSHUAH is the Way, the Truth, and the Life!
b) The Breastplate of Righteousness upon our heart: YAHUSHUAH is the righteousness of Elohim. He declares righteous all who believe in Him.
c) Our feet fitted with the Preparation of the Good News of Peace
d) Take up the Shield of Belief, the power to quench all the burning arrows of the wicked one. Our protection is our belief!
e) The Helmet of Deliverance: The Covenant Laws written on our minds & hearts
f) The Sword of the Spirit, the Word of Elohim. The weapons of warfare are the Spirit of Truth and the Word of Elohim working together.
3) Sword: the Word of Elohim: The Scriptures (published by Inst. for Scripture Research)
4) Ram’s horns and silver temple trumpets
5) Attire: white caps, white linen clothing, sashes for the waist, and shoulder garments.
RULES FOR GOING OUT TO BATTLE: WHEN TROOPS SET OUT
Ruler of the Congregation: YAHUSHUAH HaMashiach (Mikah 5:2)
The High Priest YAHUSHUAH takes His place, then His second-in-command, the host of warrior Messengers of Light, and then the leaders and fourteen soldiers who will serve in the earthly army.
First: Our High Priest is YAHUSHUAH HaMashiach.
Second: Ministers Michael and Ruth Dunn are heads of the congregation to have charge over the congregation. They are chosen to be heads like Kepha—who received the keys to the Reign of Elohim to bind and loose, the breath of the Spirit to forgive sins, and the anointing to feed the lamb, tend the sheep, and feed the sheep (Yoh. 21). They have the responsibilities of Yehoshua, who was given charge over the House of YAH (Zek. 3). Their service to YAH is leading the House of Yisra’el to atonement in YAHUSHUAH and making prayers of intercession for all peoples of all nations!
Third: Fourteen priests perform the service of Elohim. They do the work of the House of YAH on set-apart days and appointed times (festivals, new moons, and the Sabbath), as well as all the days of the year. All priests serve in the army of Elohim: two priests will blow the silver trumpets directing battle, and the others will serve as soldiers.
Soldiers (priests) are enlisted to engage in the spiritual battle. Soldiers pray and read scriptures, blow the ram’s horn and shout, while the Messengers of YAH carry out the fight.
On the day of battle, we will raise banners, read the inscriptions on the banners, blow trumpets and ram’s horns, call out the identification of the battle spears, and call out the shields. The reading aloud of the banners is a means for frightening unclean spirits, for the words of praise to YAH torment the evil ones. The day after battle, the Assembly comes together as the day before for a day of praise and thanksgiving to YAH for His deliverance in saving Israel and the world. Thanking and praising Elohim seal the deliverance.

Prayer for Forgiveness of Sins
We beg You! With the strength of Your right hand’s greatness, untie the bundled sins. Accept the prayer of Your nation; strengthen us, purify us, O Awesome One. Please, O Strong One – those who foster Your Oneness, guard them like the pupil of an eye. Bless them, purify them, show them pity, may Your righteousness always recompense them.

Accept our entreaty and hear our cry, O Knower of mysteries.

Heads of the Congregation read:
“When you go out to battle against your enemies, and shall see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them, for YAHUAH your Elohim, who brought you up from the land of Mitsrayim, is with you. And it shall be, when you draw near to the battle, that the priest shall come and speak to the people, and shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Yisra’el: You are drawing near today to battle with your enemies. Do not let your heart faint, do not fear, or tremble, or be afraid before them, for YAHUAH your Elohim is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies to save you.’” (Deb. 20:1-4)
Make mention of the Messengers of YAHUAH who are with us: Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael.
Tehillim 91:11-12
“For He commands His messengers concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. They bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.”
Bringing to Remembrance
*Remembrance of the Exodus From Mitsrayim
“…That you remember the day in which you came out of the land of Mitsrayim, all the days of your life.” (Deb. 16:3)
Remember the 14th day of Abib, the Passover, a memorial of coming out of Mitsrayim. This is also the date YAHUSHUAH died for all mankind, freeing all people from the world of sin in Mitsrayim and Babylon. YAHUSHUAH commanded us that as often as we do this Passover, we do it in remembrance of Him. We remember the Passover of YAHUAH through YAHUSHUAH.
(Matt. 26:28)
*Remembrance of Receiving the Torah at Mount Sinai (Deb. 4:9-10)
“Only, guard yourself and guard your life diligently, lest you forget the Words your eyes have seen, and lest they turn aside from your heart all the days of your life. And you shall make them known to your children and to your grandchildren – the day when you stood before YAHUAH, your Elohim in Horeb.”
Remember how YAHUSHUAH defeated the devil’s temptation in the wilderness. After fasting forty days and forty nights, YAHUSHUAH was hungry. When He was tempted, He said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of YAHUAH” (Deb. 8:3; Matt.4:4).
*Remembrance of Amaleq’s Attack
“Remember what Amaleq did to you on the way as you were coming out of Mitsrayim, how he met you on the way and attacked your back, all the feeble ones in your rear, when you were tired and weary. And he did not fear Elohim. Therefore it shall be, when YAHUAH your Elohim has given you rest from your enemies all around, in the land which YAHUAH your Elohim is giving you to possess as an inheritance, that you blot out the remembrance of Amaleq from under the heavens. Do not forget!” (Deb. 25:17-19)
Remember how YAHUSHUAH defeated the devil’s temptation in the wilderness. When the devil tempted Him, telling Him to throw Himself down from the edge of the Set-Apart Place, YAHUSHUAH responded, “It has also been written, ‘You shall not try YAHUAH your Elohim” (Deb. 6:16; Matt.4:5-7).
*Remembrance of the Golden Calf
“Remember, do not forget, how you provoked to wrath YAHUAH your Elohim in the Wilderness.” (Deb. 9:7)
Remember how the devil tried YAHUSHUAH when he took Him up a very high mountain, showing Him all the reigns of the world and their esteem, and said to Him, “All these I shall give You if You fall down and worship me.” Then YAHUSHUAH responded, “Go, Satan! For it is has been written, ‘You shall worship YAHUAH your Elohim, and Him alone you shall serve.’” (Deb. 6:13; Matt.4: 8-10)
*Remembrance of Miryam
“Remember what YAHUAH your Elohim did to Miryam, on the way when you came out of Mitsrayim.” (Deb. 24:9)
Remember that YAHUSHUAH chose Kepha because of his belief that YAHUSHAH is the Messiah, the Son of the Living Elohim. Upon this belief, YAHUSHUAH will build His Assembly, and “the gates of the grave shall not overcome it.” (Matt.16:16-18)
*Remembrance of the Sabbath
“Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart.” (Shem 20:8)
Remember that YAHUSHUAH came to complete the Laws, not to destroy them (Matt. 5:17-18). Also He said, “For the Son of Adam is Master of the Sabbath” (Matt.12:8).

Prayer of the Chief Priest:
Remember the words of Moshe: “And when you go into battle in your land against the enemy that distresses you, then you shall shout with the trumpets, and you shall be remembered before YAHUAH your Elohim, and you shall be saved from your enemies” (Bem. 10:9)
You, O Elohim, have created the expanse of the heavens, and the host of heavenly lights, the tasks of the spirits and the rule of the Set-apart Ones, the treasury of esteem and the canopy of the clouds. You are the Creator of the earth, and of the laws dividing it into desert and grassland; of all that it brings forth and of all its fruits according to their kinds; of the circle of the seas and of the gathering-place of the rivers and of the divisions of the deeps; of the beasts and birds and of the shape of Adam and of the generations of his seed; of the confusion of tongues and of the scattering of the peoples, of the dwelling in clans and of the inheritance of lands; of the set-apart seasons and of the cycles of the years and of time everlasting.
Truly the battle is Yours and the power from You! It is not ours. Our strength and the power of the set-apart seasons and of the cycles of the years and of time everlasting.
Truly the battle is Yours and the power from You! It is not ours. Our strength and the power of our hands accomplish no mighty deeds except by Your power and by the might of Your great valor. This You have taught us from ancient times (and have fulfilled by Your Son), “A Star shall come out of Ya’aqob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Yisra’el and shall smite the corners of
Mo’ab and shall destroy all the sons of Sheth. And Edom shall be a possession; and Se’ir shall be a possession—enemies—and Yisra’el is doing mightily.” (Bemidbar 24:17-18)
Address of the Chief Priest:
“Hear, O Yisra’el: You are drawing near today to battle with your enemies. Do not let your heart faint, do not fear, or tremble, or be afraid before them, for YAHUAH your Elohim is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies to save you.” (Deb. 20:3,4)
Blow the ram’s horn & Shout:
"For יהוה [YAHUAH] and for Israel"
(Repeat several times while blowing the ram’s horn, as the Spirit leads you)
Offerings to the Sovereign of Esteem: EXALTATION (see your Prayer Folder or select verses that magnify the greatness of Elohim)
--Break--
2:30 - 3:00pm light snack and drink
Session 3: Final Engagement--Pursuit of Annihilation
3:00pm - 5:00pm
“O YAHUAH, El of vengeance; O El of vengeance, shine forth! Raise Yourself up, O Judge of the earth; Render punishment to the proud.” (Teh. 94:1,2)
Say the following throughout the hours of 3:00pm-5:00pm while blowing the ram’s horn:
“Praise YAHUAH of Hosts, for YAHUAH is good, for His kindness is everlasting!”
“FOR YAHUAH AND FOR YAHUSHUAH!”
While we praise and thank YAH, He fights the battle for us!
This session of the campaign is the ‘final engagement.’ The words above are our main weapon against the enemy—praising YAH defeats the devil and all his workers of wickedness. Say this verse as many times as you can during this 2-hour session. You can also use scriptures that give praise, esteem, and thanksgiving to YAH. Fill this time with praising YAH and blowing the ram’s horn, and He will fight the battle!
[Example: read as many Tehillim/Psalms as you can, while saying the above words and blowing the ram’s horn several times in between.]

Blow the ram’s horn.
The blessings of the war recited by all the leaders after the deliverance:
And then the Chief Priest shall stand and his brothers the priests, the Levites, and all the elders of the Army with him. They shall bless from their position, the Elohim of Yisra’el and all His works of truth, and they shall curse Belial there and all the spirits of his forces. And they shall say in response:
"Blessed is the Elohim of Yisra’el for all His set-apart purpose and His works of truth. And blessed are those who serve Him righteously, who know Him by belief. And cursed is Belial for his contentious purpose, and accursed for his reprehensible rule. And cursed are all the spirits of his lot for their wicked purpose. Accursed are they for all their filthy, dirty service. For they are the lot of darkness, but the lot of Elohim is Light everlasting.
You are the Elohim of our fathers. We bless Your Name forever, for we are an everlasting people. You made a covenant with our fathers, and will establish it for their seed throughout the ages of forever. In all the witnesses of Your esteem there has been remembrance of Your kindness in our midst as an assistance to the remnant and the survivors for the sake of Your covenant and to recount Your works of truth and the judgments of Your wondrous strength. And You, O Elohim, created us for Yourself as an everlasting people, and into the lot of light You cast us in accordance with Your truth. You appointed the Prince of Light from of old to assist us, for in His lot are all sons of righteousness and all spirits of truth are in His rule. You Yourself made Belial for the pit, an angel of malevolence, his dominion is in darkness and his counsel is to condemn and convict. All the spirits of his lot—the angels of destruction—walk in accord with the rule of darkness, for it is their only desire. But we, in the lot of Your truth, rejoice in Your mighty hand.
We rejoice in Your salvation, and revel in Your help and Your peace. Who is like You in strength, O Elohim of Yisra’el, and yet Your mighty hand is with the oppressed. What messenger or prince is like You for Your effectual support, for of old You appointed for Yourself a day of great battle to support truth and to destroy iniquity, to bring darkness low and to lend might to light, and to bring forth righteousness for an everlasting stand, and to annihilate all the Sons of Darkness and bring joy to all the Sons of Light, for You Yourself designated us for an appointed time, like the fire of His fury against the idols of Mitsrayim."
Offerings to the Sovereign of Esteem: THANKSGIVING (see your Prayer Manual or select verses that give Thanks to Elohim)
The blessings of the war recited by all the leaders:
After they have withdrawn from the slain to enter the camp, all of them shall sing the hymn of return. In the morning they shall wash their clothes, cleanse themselves of the blood of the sinful bodies, and return to the place where they had stood, where they had formed the battle line before the slain of the enemy fell. There they shall all bless the Elohim of Yisra’el and joyously exalt His name together. They shall say in response:
"Blessed is the Elohim of Yisra’el, who guards loving-kindness for His covenant and the appointed times of salvation for the people He redeems. He has called those who stumble unto wondrous accomplishments, and He has gathered a congregation of nations for annihilation without remnant in order to raise up in judgment those whose heart has melted, to open a mouth for the mute to sing Elohim’s mighty deeds, and to teach feeble hands warfare. He gives those whose knees shake strength to stand, and strengthens those who have been smitten from the hips to the shoulder. Among the poor in spirit there is power over the hard heart, and by those whose way is perfect shall all wicked nations come to an end; there will be no place for all their mighty men. But we are the remnant of Your people.
Blessed is Your Name, O Elohim of loving-kindness, the One who kept the covenant for our forefathers. Throughout all our generations You have made Your compassions wondrous for the remnant of the people during the dominion of Belial. With all the mysteries of his hatred they have not led us astray from Your covenant. His spirits of destruction You have driven away from us. And when the men of his dominion condemned themselves, You have preserved the lives of Your redeemed. You raised up the fallen by Your strength, but those who are great in height You will cut down to humble them. And there is no rescuer for all their mighty men, and no place of refuge for their swift ones. To their honored men You will return shame, and all their vain existence shall be as nothing. But we, Your set-apart people, shall praise Your Name for Your works of truth. Because of Your mighty deeds we shall exalt Your splendor in appointed times forever, at the beginning of day, at night and at dawn and dusk. For Your esteemed purpose is great and Your wondrous mysteries are in Your high heavens, to raise up those for Yourself from the dust and to humble those of (other mighty ones).
Rise up, rise up, O Elohim of mighty-ones, and raise Yourself in power, O Sovereign of sovereigns, let all the Sons of Darkness scatter from before You. Let the light of Your esteem shine forever upon idols and men, as a fire burning in the dark places of the damned. Let it burn the damned of Sheol, as an everlasting burning among the transgressors in all the appointed times forever."
