among those sacred restorations is the Sabbath—not
just its timing, but its truth , its intent, and its delight.
Very early in this ministry, I began to encounter a
strange paradox. While we proclaimed ... showed that the Sabbath was about
alignment with Yahweh’s heart of compassion and
mercy . The Sabbath miracles of Yahshua were powerful
signs of this truth . By healing the sick and setting cap-
tives free on the Sabbath, He proclaimed
This teaching presents Yahweh as the sovereign Planner whose purpose for creation

but before the Presence that filled the room.
The blood was sprinkled on the mercy seat,
the prayers ascended to the throne,
and atonement was made before Yahweh.
Today, as priests under the order ... symbols—

but as visual testimonies of eternal truths .

people back to truths that have been obscured, forgotten, or deliberately
suppressed. And no truth has been more catastrophically misunderstood
than the doctrine of the New Covenant.
The church teaches: "The New Covenant began at Calvary ... keeps
covenant and shows mercy —grant us wisdom to understand His times
and seasons.
May we reject the pride that says, "We have replaced Israel," and
embrace the truth that says, "We ARE Israel—the scattered tribes being

Naboth's refusal to surrender his ancestral vineyard becomes Vaughn's picture of covenant faithfulness and refusal to compromise truth . Isaiah 5:7 then supplies the vineyard/Israel connection, while Revelation's Jezebel imagery is applied to the religious system Vaughn ... speaker's interpretation.
The sermon then moves from Israel's historical judgment to the relationship between judgment and mercy . James 2:13 becomes especially important: Vaughn argues that judgment is corrective and temporary within Yahweh's restorative purpose because “mercy

THE ORIGINAL FORTY DAYS
Long before the birth of Yahshua, the people of Babylon
kept a forty ... fasting of the heart — the surrender of pride,
greed, and oppression. It leads to justice and mercy , not ashes
and ritual sorrow.
That is the kind of fasting Yahweh recognizes.
