AMAREL - It means "The Message or Word of God"

Deception is rampant these days.
 It's becoming more and more difficult to know
whether what you're seeing or hearing is reality,
or is fiction made to appear to be real.

The movies, video games, the government, and the media and their ‘bots' are blurring the lines more and more between what's real and what's not.

The advent of computers, digital cameras and videos, and other technologies lend themselves to even more deception
as images and documents are "adjusted"
to suit the desires of the one manipulating them.
Daily the mainstream media alters images and story lines
to create the effect they want to have on you.
And the government is constantly putting some new “spin”
on the stories that come from that source.

When you listen to the politicians, courts, lawyers,
bankers, insurance companies, etc.,
it becomes more and more difficult to know
when they're telling the truth, and when they're lying to you.
                                                                                        Deception is everywhere.

                    We are living in a "culture of deceit"!

Unfortunately, deception has also invaded the religious communities.
It takes many subtle forms, but it exists there as well.
What many don't recognize is just how greatly they've been deceived,
or how pervasive some of the deception truly is.
This website is devoted to revealing, and correcting,
some of the most insidious aspects of this deception. 

The removal of the personal Name of God from The Bibl
and replacing it with terms that do not accurately represent the original languages
is almost incomprehensible.
Even the personal Name of The Messiah has been altered
so that many will have a very difficult time
realizing and accepting the Truth about His Name.

That such things have been done
- and worse, allowed to continue
- is appalling.
Even more appalling is the realization these are not "accidental errors",
they are intentional.

Surely YAHWEH is not pleased about this series of lies.

It's my intent to do whatever I can
to help correct this deception and reveal as much Truth as possible.

Deception takes many forms, especially in the world of today.
Most people seem to feel deception in some form is "normal".
It's become virtually a "way of life".
It's perfectly OK to deceive someone
as long as you get what you want.
However, when you deceive someone,
when you mislead them intentionally.,
you are lying to them.

Whether you tell an outright lie
or simply try to hide the whole truth from someone
you're dealing in things that simply are not true,
either in whole or in part.

Since YAHWEH is the God of Truth
it's important to recognize that when you deceive someone
you are acting contrary to YAHWEH's desire.
That's a very risky thing to do.     

The Word of YAHWEH has much to say about deception.
We're warned over and over to avoid it.
We're warned not to be taken in by it.
This is especially true concerning the days
just prior to the return of The Messiah, YAHUSHUA.

Listed below are some Scriptures that speak about deception,
including the matter of self-deception.
Sadly, it's even possible to lie to yourself
- to trick yourself into believing something is true when it's not.
In these Scriptures you'll find insights into the subtlety of deception
and how to deal with this issue when you encounter it.

YAHWEH does not want you to be deceived.
He wants you to know The Truth.
Ultimately, He is The Truth.
Ultimately, He wants you to know Him.

Truth leads to freedom.
Lies and deception lead to bondage.
Which one is your preference - freedom, or bondage?

which you yourselves ta are dreaming!

Every man of your covenant 
has caused you to be deceived!

as an ambush under you! 
There is no understanding in him (Edom).

Malachi 1:14:  But cursed be the deceiver,
who has in his flock a male, and vows,
and sacrifices unto YAHWEH a corrupt thing:
for I am a great King, says YAHWEH Tsaba,
and My Name is dreadful among the heathen.

John 8.44:  You are of your father The False Accuser,
and the desires of your father you desire to do!
He was a murderer from the beginning
and does not stand in the truth
because there is no truth in him.
When he speaks a lie he speaks from himself
because he is a liar and the father of it!

may grow up in all things into Him who is the head, The Messiah,

tightly joined together and united by what every joint contributes,
according to the efficiency through the measure of each individual portion,
causing the growth of the body into the structuring of itself in love.

by every force, and miracles, and lying wonders,
10 and with every delusion of injustice
among those who are being totally destroyed
because they did not accept the love of The Truth
in order that they might have been saved.

so that they believe The Lie,
12 in order that everyone might be condemned
who does not trust in The Truth, but instead, has pleasure in injustice.

2 for the sake of anticipation of Eternal Life which YAHWEH, who cannot lie,
promised before time began, 3 but has rendered apparent His message
in these very times by a proclamation which has been entrusted to me
according to the instruction of YAHUSHUA our Deliverer.

all the nations have been deceived.

Revelation 19:20: Then the dangerous animal was captured,

Revelation 20:3:  And he threw him into the bottomless pit
and shut him up, and set a seal over him,
in order that he might deceive the nations no more

Revelation 20:10:  And The False Accuser, who was deceiving them,
was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone

[Please note that The Devil, Satan, is "THE DECEIVER”.
It is his role, his function. Virtually all deception comes via him.
He is the one who would have you believe lies and untruth.
He is the "antithesis" (opposite) of YAHWEH, and acts accordingly.
This is why it is so vitally important
that you avoid deception at every level of your life.]

Revelation 21.27:  And there will by no means enter into it
anything that defiles, or makes any abomination or a lie;
but only those who are written in The Lamb’s Book of Life.

in order that they will have the privilege to The Tree of Life
and may enter into the gates into the city.
15 However, outside are dogs and sorcerers
and sexually immoral and murderers and idol worshippers,
and whoever is fond of and practices to lie.

The consequences of deception are serious - deadly serious.
