Marshall
Koniuchowsky
&
Moshe
Koniuchowsky
Isaiah
57:20
But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
As
nonsensical as this next section seems, it must be
addressed. Moshe Koniuchowsky
has made a huge fuss about his name being Moshe not Marshall. He has stated that
he was "forced" to use Marshall before he began his ministry. Odd. We
see while in his "ministry" that he wrote a book under his name
"Marshall", in 1992/1993. We also see him promoting himself as Marshall
after 1996, when he founded Your Arms to Israel. From the bookfinder site.

Originally, teshuva.com was the
launching for A.T.O.M. --Association of Torah-Observant Messianics, which
housed the teshuva.com/yati website--that is, Koniuchowsky's Your Arms to Israel
(YATI) website and also promoted James
Trimm's Nazarene.net writings. The www.teshuva.com is the
website of the Yeshayahu [Steve] Heiliczer, who was formerly on James Trimm's
Beit Din. He has returned to Orthodox Judaism, rejecting Jesus Christ. He
states,
"...Teshuvah
Gate AN ORTHODOX JEWISH SITE DEDICATED TO THOSE
RETURNING TO A TORAH-TRUE LIFESTYLE"
"It became more and more
clear as we journeyed away from Christian Messianism and back towards Torah-true
Judaism....the path of Torah-observant Messianic Judaism, also called Nazarene
Judaism, for anyone with an open-mind and a desire to find truth, must lead
back to the original - to Torah and to Orthodox Judaism. Teshuvah
Gate is no longer a "Messianic" or "Nazarene" site. It is
an Orthodox Jewish site. The owner of this site no longer believes in the
historicity of the "New Testament," nor that Y'shua/Jesus is/was the
Messiah..." 12
We also see Marshall and his wife
"Roberta" are in various listings as:
1 M J KONIUCHOWSKY POMPANO BEACH FL
2 MARSHALL J KONIUCHOWSKY POMPANO BEACH FL
3 ROBERTA E KONIUCHOWSKY POMPANO BEACH FL
In fact, in defense of his name, Moshe,
Koniuchowsky posted his
birth certificate to his website, with the given name. The name on it is not Moshe, but Maushe Joseph
Koniuchowsky. The certificate was issued 08/32/1995. Further, it states he
was born in Manhattan, with his mothers name, Hanah Fulton and father, Leiba
Koniuchowsky. 13
Koniuchowsky
went so far as to have his friends and co-workers make
declarative statements about his name really being
Moshe, not Marshall. The gist of the basis for the
statements was that there was nothing to gain by these
friends declaring the Moshe name information as true,
although each is a member of YATI leadership. On the "official" statements that
Marshall's name was Moshe, "Eyewitness
Testimony" from Yochanan Mascaro:
Rabbi
Yochanan Mascaro's Torah Witness
& Testimony for Rabbi Moshe Joseph Koniuchowsky
by Rabbi Yochanan Mascaro
"....While it is true, by Rabbi Moshe's own public
admissions, that he used the name "Marshall" many years ago he did
so a) mostly before entering into ministry and b) for certain business
purposes, such as pressures placed against him to do so by his own employer,
who thought it not a suitable name for business....
... in favor of my brother Rabbi Moshe Joseph
Koniuchowsky of Miami, Florida, AND HEREBY ATTEST TO THE FACT THAT the
given-name on his birth certificate issued by the State of New York is the
Hebrew name that in English is sounded as MOSHE or MAUSHE as given him on
September 10, 1957 by his abba (father) Lieba Koniuchowsky and his imma
(mother) Chana Koniuchowsky (may they each rest in shalom).
...in favor of my brother Rabbi Moshe Joseph Koniuchowsky of
Miami, Florida, AND HEREBY ATTEST TO THE FACT THAT the name appearing on Rabbi
Moshe Joseph Koniuchowsky on his Florida Driver License is "M J
Konichowsky" clearly intending to represent that name MOSHE as witnessed
by me above.
...HEREBY ATTEST TO THE FACT THAT the bank accounts of Rabbi
Moshe Koniuchowsky also bears the name "M J Koniuchowsky" clearly
intending to represent that name MOSHE as witnessed by me above..."
14
Another "witness"
whose statement was also sent out to his Your Arms to
Israel Daily
newsletter list, was from his Cantor, Brian Samtur.
Subj: SECOND
WITNESS
Date: 8/7/2003 4:24:31 PM Eastern Daylight Time
From: ravmoshe@bellsouth.net
"...There
have been several occasions over the past few years where I have
gently rebuked and corrected individuals who have been misled or misinformed by disinformation and misinformation and various forms of Loshon Hara
provocation regarding Rabbi Moshe Yoseph Koniuchowski's "true" name
both
online publically and privately.
...Baruch
haShem YHVH,
(Chazzan) Chayym Baruch Samtur
(The Hebrew name give me on my Brit Milah Certificate 8 days after I was born)
The
only problem is, well, in Samtur's declaration about the validity of Koniuchowsky's
name...he spelt Koniuchowski with an " i " instead of
a "Y", which suggests he's perhaps confused over the spelling of the
last name, not just the first.
It seems there are variations not just with
Koniuchowsky's first name, but with his last name, which seems to also vary per occasion,
as shown in a Google search.

Follow the Pattern Ministries - The Great
Debate
... the Great Debate on Audio, Video or DVD As you all are probably well aware
by now,
Rabbi Steve Berkson debated Rabbi Moshe Koniuchowski on January 12, 2003. ...www.followthepattern.org/gr_debate.htm
Marshall posted the "sworn statements" that the
name on his drivers license was Moshe, rather...it is apparently now M J Koniuchowsky.
This writer is convinced that since Marshall published
books under the name of
Marshall Koniuchowsky as late as 1997 and was in ministry under the name of
Marshall, the "M" could stand for
Marshall. Let's do a comparison, simply because there seems to be a question as
to whether "M" could stand for Marshall and Moshe. M> Marshall. M> Moshe. M >
Maushe....
There is
also a more serious issue and that is that Marshall
Koniuchowsky has used said driver's license as proof that
his legal name is Marshall Koniuchowsky, as shown in
Florida legal documents, i.e.
Miami-Dade County
Clerk Public Records. ["http://www.miami-dadeclerk.com/public-records/]
Records
from 1992 and 1995 show that mortgages were written with
the legal name of Marshall Koniuchowsky, not Moshe as
claimed. For example:

Newsflash! Concerning 'Legal
Action' Threats From Marshall Koniuchowsky Also Known as Moshe Koniuchowsky
Marshall Koniuchowsky also issued a statement, which was supposed to
give the appearance of a legal document, but was never legally witnessed, dated nor notarized, but
still declaring the
following:
Declaration
Of Name Statement (PDF Document)
Rav Moshe Yoseph Koniuchowsky
c/o: YATI
PO Box 692999
Miami [33169]
Florida
TO: WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
DECLARATION OF NAME STATEMENT
...3. Moshe
Yoseph Koniuchowsky was born the
10 day of September, A.D. 1957. My birth
name is "Maushe Joseph
Koniuchowsky." Said name is
pronounced the same as Moshe, but because my father wanted Moshe and my mother
wanted Michael or Mitchell or something similar they compromised on the
spelling. Therefore, my parents left my birth name (as listed on my Birth
Certificate) as "Maushe."
However, Maushe is
pronounced the same as Moshe. Therefore, I use the initials "MJ" on
licenses and other legal matters so I do not have to explain why it is spelled
Maushe Joseph instead
of Moshe Yoseph.
4. I have
used the name of Marshall in previous work in the commercial arena after
college. I also used the same name Marshall as a Baptist Pastor and was known
as "Pastor Marshall." I took that name because Jewish believers in
Yeshua HaMashiach (a.k.a. Jesus Christ) were looked down upon. I no longer use
the name Marshall.
5. I am
generating this document due to the fact that people attack me and/or bring up
false charges that my name is really Marshall and not Moshe, and that I am
somehow intentionally deceiving people. I deny such an allegation.
6. In the near future I intend to settle this matter once and
for all through a formal name change court action in County Court held in
Broward County. My name is and shall be legal acknowledged as Moshe
Yoseph Koniuchowsky.
7. The State of Florida, etc will issue identification cards
to Moshe Yoseph
Koniuchowsky with my likeness." 15
From
the Biography at YATI and combining it with the 2House.org bio of Marshall
Moshe Koniuchowsky, which
does not mention his being a Baptist Minister named Pastor Marshall, we see the
following events. According to
Marshall's wife, supplied via another documented source, when Koniuchowsky,
"got
saved he was in a Baptist church," and "He
was originally ordained as a minister and then later on as a Messianic Rabbi."
Unfortunately those details are omitted in the various biographies.
>Attended a modern conservative
Hebrew school-Brandeis, Moshe studied such typical Jewish topics as Torah, Talmud, Hebrew language
study, as well as a full curriculum of Jewish cultural classes....
>1974,
Moshe enrolled in Farleigh Dickinson University, in Teaneck, New Jersey. He
graduated in 1979 with a BS in Business Administration....
>1984 Moshe founded "Messiah Is God" Ministries>
2house states >1984 Moshe founded "Messiah Is God" [sic] Ministries
>1985, Moshe was referred to Pastor Howard Corum of Staten Island
... Moshe was eventually referred to Beth Tefilah, a Messianic Jewish synagogue in Jamaica, Queens where he would spent the next three
years...
>1987,
Moshe completed a Masters in Bible Missions in an extension program through
Patriot University, a fully accredited Bible school in Colorado Springs,
Colorado."
>After
Beth Tefilah, Rabbi Moshe began attending a church by the name of Pillars of
Faith Tabernacle in Flushing, New York
> early 1993, Moshe and Rivka
authored their first book entitled "The Great Commission Crossroads Of
The Old And New Covenants", with a foreword written by Sid Roth.
> 1993 joined the Association
Of Evangelical Congregations bases in Minnesota, and Moshe was appointed the
Cluster Leader for the state of Florida. "Messiah is God Ministries"
became "Messiah Is God Messianic Fellowships" and joined the A.E.C.
>1996
Moshe founded Your Arms To Israel...
>1998
Rabbi Moshe drew up the plans of the Messianic Israel Alliance along with
Angus and Batya Wootten of St. Cloud, Florida.
>June
of 1999 the Messianic Israel Alliance recognized Rabbi Moshe with smicha
ordination adding to his two prior ordinations. Rabbi Moshe served the people of
Israel from 1998-2001
>Feb,
of 2001 Rabbi Moshe founded The Union Of Two House Messianic Congregations
along with his closest friend Rabbi Ed Nydle
"The UOTHMC remains the only
known True Name FULLY Torah observant affiliation in the world."
Note:
Since posting the various articles, the name of Union of Two
House Messianic Congregations has been changed to : Union Of
Nazarene Yisraelite Congregations, as of October 26,
2003
According to Koniuchowsky's
biographies, he founded Messiah is God Fellowship in 1984. In 1993
he joined the Association Of Evangelical Congregations, which is based in Minnesota, and
was appointed the Cluster Leader for the state of Florida. "Messiah is God
Ministries" became "Messiah Is God Messianic Fellowships." He now refers to it as "Messiah is God (sic)
Ministries."
The
A.E.C stands for "Association Of Evangelical Congregations of Florida;
Association of Evangelical Congregations & Ministries", which is
located at
14100 Valley View Road, Eden Prairie, MN 55344; (952) 937-2665

Alan Langstaff, Harvest Network
Int'l Apostolic Overseer, which is also A.E.C., and which does dispense
ordinations to individuals after verifying educational backgrounds,
via email
correspondence stated:
"Messiah is God Fellowship
originally applied for membership in December 1991, they are not currently
active however. As far as I know Mr. Konuichowski was never ordained by
our organization, we do not specifically provide Messianic Rabbinic
or rabbinical ordinations. "
Pillars of Faith Full Gospel Tabernacle knew
Koniuchowsky by the name of Marshall, not Moshe. He was not ordained there and did not
receive a rabbinate there. Nor does
Koniuchowsky
say in any of his varied biographies
where he went to school in order
to become an ordained Baptist minister.
Where Koniuchowsky declares in his Union of Two House
information, "The UOTHMC remains the only
known True Name FULLY Torah observant affiliation in the world."
I suppose
that would depend on what one's definition of being
"FULLY" Torah observant is. And what
constitutes Biblical obedience. Evidently, in the case
of those in these articles, the two concepts are far
removed from one another. As is the True Name removed
from their knowledge.
1
Timothy 1:3
As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
Patriot
University
Proverbs
14:12
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
It's noteworthy that when this
writer first read his Biography on
his website, it clearly stated that Koniuchowsky obtained a "Masters in Bible Missions in an extension program through
Patriot University, a fully accredited Bible school in Colorado Springs,
Colorado." That information has been changed, depending which biography one
reads. Some refer to Marshall as "Dr. Koniuchowsky," although
it's not clear to this writer if he refers to himself as such, or it is implied
by being called "Rabbi."
Although discussed previously,
it's
incredible that besides being a diploma mill, Patriot University denies they
have or need secular
accreditation, although Koniuchowsky states they are fully
accredited. From their website:
To phone Patriot University, call: (888) 578-9332.
To fax us, use: (719) 589-4916.
To write us, use:
Patriot University
2035 Church Ave.
Alamosa CO 81101" 16
In their admission policies, Patriot University
now states,
"...Patriot University is recognized by the
State of Colorado to grant religious degrees and is accredited by the American
Accrediting Association of Theological Institutions. This accreditation
is through a Christian agency, which recognizes high standards of Biblical
and academic training. It is not to be confused with regional accreditation
that deals with secular programs and standards..." 17
Regarding
accreditation ,
via Cecil Johnson's accreditation mill:
...Q.
What is the purpose of private, non-secular Christian accrediting associations
or agencies?
A. (1) They provide and set educational standards
to promote quality education among Bible colleges, seminaries, universities,
and institutes, etc. (2) They provide an alternative accreditation, which does
not seek secular educational standards, philosophies or approval. They are not
required—nor do they desire—to be recognized by the U.S. Department of
Education or the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). (3) They
promote and encourage the transfer of credits among the schools accredited by
their organization. (4) They seek unity and fellowship among post-secondary
Christian institutions.
—Dr. Cecil Johnson, AAATI
from Patriot’s Progress Magazet,
September/October 2001"
18
Their course description states ,
"Graduate courses are for students
who are seeking a Master of Arts (MA) or Doctor of Ministry (DMin) degree..."
19
About their Graduate Courses, the website
provides the following:
"Graduate Course Descriptions
Each course for students in Master
of Arts or Doctor of Ministry programs offers three
credits, and is designed to be completed within 3-6 weeks. In addition to
the following, some undergraduate subjects may also be available as
graduate courses upon request..."
Their "graduate
course description" includes 7 courses on the Old Testament, 8 courses
on the New Testament, 5 courses on Theology, 2 courses on Biblical Languages
[both Greek], 2 courses on Pastoral Ministries, 6 courses on Christian
Counseling, 5 courses on Science and History {new} and 2 courses on English. 4
courses are offered under the heading of "Education," with one of
those being a set of audio tapes about the "Christian World View."
20
Of the "graduate courses" offered,
which doesn't list Masters in Bible Missions as an option, the only one for
Missions is:

From a review about Patriot University:
"Formerly affiliated with Hilltop Baptist
Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Patriot University is accredited only by
the American Accrediting Association of Theological Institutions, an
accreditation mill that provides accreditation for a $100 charge. Patriot
University has moved to Alamosa, Colorado and continues to offer
correspondence courses for $15 to $32 per credit. The school's catalog
contains course descriptions but no listing of the school's faculty or their
credentials. Name it and Frame It lists Patriot University as a degree
mill." 21.
Another
critical review of Patriot University states:
"PU was formerly in Colorado Springs CO,
but is now in Alamos CO, in a house near the College Heights Baptist Church.
The street address ["External Studies Department Bulletin," Fall
1997] is the residential address of PU´s Executive Director of External
Studies, Dr Lonnie Skinner (http://www.anywho.com.)
The Bulletin indicates how a university could simply relocate to another town:
There is no faculty, and credit is offered for "life experience and
ministry evaluation". The courses, workbooks, audiotapes, and videotapes
can be completed in 2-4 weeks. Tuition is a voluntary, monthly "freewill
offering". The only graduate science course is "SC 701 - Biblical
Basis of Modern Science". The DMin is offered in Biblical Studies,
Pastoral Studies, Evangelism and Missions, Christian Education, and Christian
Counseling. " 22.
Steve
Levicoff in "Name It and Frame It," states in chapter 12,
PATRIOT UNIVERSITY
6915 Palmer Park Boulevard
Colorado Springs, Colorado 80915
(719) 597-7512
Claiming to be a ministry of Hilltop Baptist
Church, the college charges between $15 and $32 per credit and offers
degrees through the doctoral level. Their catalog contains no information on
the school's faculty or their credentials. Patriot claims accreditation by
the American Accrediting Association of Theological Institutions (see
Chapter 3), an accrediting mill associated with Christian Bible College in
Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Advertises or has advertised in Pulpit Helps.
And in Chapter 4:
"Accreditation mills have only one
purpose: to communicate an air of credibility to degree mills. Witness, for
example, the claims of the American Accrediting Association of Theological
Institutions, Inc., of Rocky Mount, North Carolina, which charges degree mills
only a $100.00 application fee and a $75.00 annual renewal fee to gain their
"accreditation." The president of A.A.A.T.I. is Cecil Johnson
("D.D., D.R.E., Lit.D., Th.D., Ph.D."), who is also the president of
Christian Bible College in Rocky Mount (a degree mill listed in Chapter 12).
Johnson proclaims in his association's marketing letter:
After your school is accredited by A.A.A.T.I. for anyone who wishes to check
on your status please have them call [our number] daily between 10 & 12
noon. We prefer to talk with individual [sic] personally rather than write
to them. Please do not give our address to any individual, only other
schools who are interested in being accredited. Accreditation is between the
school and the association . .
The basic information we give out
is that your school is in good standing with A.A.A.T.I. We do not recommend
any school, only lend credibility to those accredited by A.A.A.T.I.
Think
about the ramifications in Johnson's pitch. They will "lend
credibility" to any school that pays their $100.00 application fee, but
they will only do so by phone - they won't put it in writing. They don't want
their address (which is the same address as Johnson's degree mill) given out
to anyone except other degree mills seeking their alleged accreditation..."
Patriot University's
accreditation is the same source of 'Accreditation'
found with the Hargis's varied "diploma's" and "Masters" and
"Doctorates." See:

Restoration Scriptures True Name Edition Or RSTNE
Moshe Koniuchowsky or Marshall
Koniuchowsky is currently
offering his own Bible version called, The Restoration Scriptures True Name
Edition. It is in fact filled with Two House theology and many refer to it as
Two House Scriptures. It's noteworthy that the Latter Day Saints (LDS and RLDS)
refer to the Book of Mormon as the Restoration Scriptures, with their focus
being The Restoration Gospel with their Joseph Smith
history referred to as their Restoration history, and their bookstore for all
Restoration aka Mormon writings available at the Restoration Bookstore.
This is the
release for The
Restoration Scriptures True Name Edition, which is also
available in Spanish:
Subj: DATELINE
MIAMI BEACH FOR PUBLIC RELEASE
Date: 8/14/2003
From: ravmoshe@bellsouth.net
"...YATI
International Ministries is most please to announce the Autumn release of the RESTORATION
SCRIPTURES TRUE NAME EDITION. That's right! a real fully 2 house bible
with true Names! This unique copy of the Word of YHWH will feature every 2
house reference in both covenants, highlighted in different colors for easy
identification and study...In addition, KEY missing parts of scripture
used by the first century talmidim from the Septuagint (LXX) and Dead Sea
Scrolls (DSS) such as Psalm 151 and references to Messiah's physical
resurrection, missing from almost all modern translations, are
finally being restored in key passages like Isaiah 53 and in the book
of Psalms....The
RESTORATION SCRIPTURES TRUE NAME EDITION will be neither all Hebrew
or all King James English, but a nice user friendly medium between both
extremes. Whether a novice to Hebrew terms, or an experienced Hebrew
speaker,...
...YHWH
has laid it on my heart, that the time is ripe and that he was calling me to
edit and compile this splendorous task for him. I know that I have used up all
the excuses I could think of for the better part of 3 years, reminding Abba
that I'm not an editor, or book publisher, or a wealthy man......just a
prophetic-teacher, rabbi and writer. But He has given me no choice. I need to
birth this splendorous tool with the guidance, unction and empowerment
provided by the blessed Ruach Ha Kodesh..."
We can assume that the united translation skills of YATI staff and
perhaps even
Tom
Mitchell and
Ed
Nydle and Andrew Roth may have been utilized for
The Restoration Scriptures True Name
Edition (RSTNE).
Some thoughts about this 'translation' were
posted to a popular messianic forum:
Just when
we thought there would be nothing "new", and the word "plagarism"
was thought to be the the final chapter, we now have
another "new" version.
1]From the first word: Timothy correctly rendered in
it's transliterated form is TimOtheous not Timtheous.
2] If you put the vowel pointings from the Masoretic
text under the Hebrew Name of the Messiah, which they
have as Yod-Hey-Vav-Shin-Ayin, it will be pronounced
Yehoshua not Yahshua as the "translator" pronounces it.
3] The usage of the Yiddish "bubbe" for grandmother
instead of the Hebrew word savta, which can not be found
in a Biblical Hebrew lexicon.
4] Eunike, Phugellos, Hermogenes, Onesiphoros, and the
incorrect rendering of Timothy [Timtheous] are Greek
words. What happened to the attitude that all things 'hellenistic'
were pagan? [Hebrew chauvinism]
5] Romiyah is neither Hebrew or Greek, and possibly
could have come by direct "revelation". There is a
Hebrew word that is close to it, and since all of the
TOGT can say that Jesus and zeus are the same, I think
that I will use this word to express my final feelings
in closing this review:

* quote: "Don't be frightened by the Hebrew words. It's
a great way to learn basis Hebrew". To borrow Steve's
word - if you use the "mishagosh" of Hebrew, Yiddish,
Isalam, and English within this text you can learn to
translate your own version, too!
* at first glance I was reminded of the tower of Babel
revisited.
* verse 5 - bubbe? Yiddish. Eunike? google search
revealed Eunike is a German name and is also associated
with the occult and with islam.
* verse 17 - Romiyah - google search turned up only
Islamic usage of this name.
Comment: I wonder what Moshe's scholarly notes will be
like? Moshe made the comment the other day that he was
working 16 hours a day to finish up his new version -
maybe he should ease up and take a couple of hebrew and
greek classes - might make his "translating" go faster

A member of
one Messianic forum, issued this response after the
following statement by Marshall Koniuchowsky was posted to
the internet:
"This is
why TRUE BELIEVERS who do not want to identify with the
mockers of our Messiah, REFUSE AND SHOULD REFUSE THE
BLASPHEMOUS TALMUDIC MONIKER OF YESHU OR YESHUA. It is
not the Aramaic contraction it is the devil's
contraction and the name of mockery TO THIS DAY by
unbelieving Judah!"
The members
response read as follows:
First of all, I think that Marshall needs to go back to
the lexicon that he used to do his "translation" with,
the same lexicon that did not list the Hebrew word for
grandmother [savta] so he had to substitute bubbe [yiddish]
instead, and type in the numbers #3442 / #3443 and he
will be suprised to find that the Name Yeshua, is in
fact a Hebrew Biblical name, a short form of Yehoshua.[
Yehowah is salvation] Did the devil add that same
"contraction" to the Inspired Word of God as well? So
much for scholarship. Maybe Marshall should examine the
meaning of the Hebrew term b'Shem, and he may find out
that it is not about a name, as much as it is about your
actions in representing the name as in likeness and
character, because in that area, he is falling short.
P.S.
Even non believing scholars and archaeologists are
familiar with the
Name Yeshua: ================

Rather than
an actual translation, it appears in the name of 'context' that what
fits the desired passage will be determined by Koniuchowsky. Unlike
what Koniuchowsky asserts concerning missing passages, God is more
than able to preserve His Word.

Koniuchowsky
has advertised his website as "Your Arms to Israel,
Prophetic Teaching Ministry of Rabbi Moshe Koniuchowsky
for both Houses of Messianic Nazarene Yisrael..." Marshall
has often dabbled in prophecy,
which has yet to come to
pass. But then,
he also promotes various false
prophets, such as Michael Rood and kabbalists and other
likeminded individuals. Birds of a feather....
Psalm
2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
