John 15:1-12 
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 

"Father is the husbandman" "Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away" 
YHVH, Our FATHER owns the land and all upon it. HE is the pruner, the planter, and HE shall be HE who shall direct the harvest at the appropriate time. 
"I am the true vine" "Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit." 
YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, is The Vine. We are either attached to HIM and growing upon HIM, or we do not belong to HIM and FATHER shall prune those. 
Each of us, who are firmly connected and growing upon YAHSHUA, must be cleansed/purified by YHVH (HIS Word) in order to produce seed. 
If you know HIS Word, then you have the seeds of HIS Truth developing within you. When YHVH, HIS Word, through HIS HOLY SPIRIT, has made you ready by cleansing you, then those seeds can be planted. 

Are you fit to bear fruit? Are you prepared with HIS Word, cleansed by HIS Word; are you ready to bring forth the seeds of
HIS Truth? 

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 

When are you clean? You are clean when you live by The Word which HE has taught us. 
Clean by man's word? NO. 
Clean by the traditions of some church systems? NO. 

Cleansed by YHVH'S HOLY WORD. Made clean through the Blood of YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST. 
And, by doing, thinking, acting and reacting according to The Word, you are then fit to bring forth the seeds of HIS Truth. 


John 15: 
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 

Dwell in YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, and HE will dwell in you. 

There shall come a time, that if you are not dwelling in YAHSHUA, you shall be subject to Death... Mr. Death... Satan. 
And, YAHSHUA just told us that Our FATHER is the pruner who shall cut away all from the Tree of Life who are spiritually dead. 

We must be dwelling in YHVH, abiding by HIS Word, living in HIS Way now, or we will not be fit to bring forth HIS Truth during the apostasy. 

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 

HIS True servants (branches) are 'one' in CHRIST, all a part of the Tree of Life. 
A branch can not live without the original Vine, the Tree of Life. 

6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 

Pruned away by Our FATHER, the dead branches shall wither and be burned in the fire. 
This is spiritual, not literal fire. 

7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 

"ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you" "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you". 
This is important for us to understand. 
What would one ask of HIM, if they are a part of HIM? 

Would you ask that harm befall another? NO. 
The man who dwells in YAHSHUA does not desire undeserved harm to come upon another. 
And, any, who would desire that undeserved harm comes unto another, would not be a part of YAHSHUA. 

What would one of YHVH'S servants, who is a part of YAHSHUA, The Vine, ask in HIS Name? 
Will you ask for wisdom? 
If it is wisdom for the sake of others, HE will provide you with wisdom, if it be according to HIS Will. 

Will you ask that HE heal another person? 
If it shall provide a witness unto others, HE shall bring about a healing of another upon your request. 
HE will not heal them to make you look good, but for the benefit of the one healed and those who are witness to this miracle. 
Remember, this can refer to spiritual healings as well as physical healings. 

HE has already made promises unto HIS servants. HE has promised to protect HIS servants. 
HE has promised a place in HIS Kingdom to HIS servants. 
HE has promised the Victory, the defeat of Death (Satan). 
HE has promised life everlasting with HIM. 

There are physically and spiritually lame people in the world. 
And, some of these have a purpose. Some shall receive a healing in the sight of men during the time that Satan's government is here and during the spurious 'Jesus/God's' reign. 
Often we desire that our loved ones be healed now. But, it may be a much greater blessing for these loved ones to be healed at the appropriate time according to YHVH'S Will. 


8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 

YHVH (HE AND HIS Truth) shall be made known (glorified) when the world is ready according to YHVH'S timing and plan. 
HE shall be glorified through the seeds of Truth that shall be broadcasted to the whole world during that season. 
Who are YHVH'S/YAHSHUA'S disciples? Those who are disciplined in their work and walk in HIS Word, in HIM. 

John 15: 
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 

"continue ye" is 'dwell' or 'abide'. 
"hath loved" is 'well pleased' and 'dearly loved'. 

Do you dwell (live) in HIS love? Do you abide (stand) in HIS love? 

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 

If you are disciplined in HIS precepts, if you do according to HIS commandments, you shall endure in HIS love. 
YAHSHUA set the example as HE kept YHVH'S commandments, and HIS abode was in love. 

YAHSHUA had already explained that HE and the FATHER are 'One'. 
And, we know that YAHSHUA is YHVH who walked in the flesh. We know that YAHSHUA is that part of YHVH which is the King of Kings and is of the 2nd Heaven age. 

So, if we know this, then we should understand "even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love." 
Is this stating the obvious? Could YAHSHUA do any less, since HE is in the FATHER, and of The FATHER, YHVH? 

YAHSHUA is not stating merely the obvious, but is reassuring us who are in the flesh, that although flesh is sinful, and it is more difficult to abide in HIM while in the flesh, that it can be done. And, HE was our example/ensample. 

The majority of the world do not abide in HIM, which makes it even more difficult for HIS servants to do so while they are in the midst of this world. 
This, therefore, speaks of the discipline which is needed for HIS servants. We must discipline ourselves to abide in HIS commandments, and HE rewards us with HIS love, favoring us and holding us dearly. 

John 15: 
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 

"These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full." 
How can you be unhappy or fearful when HIS love brings such joy. 
"Joy" is 'calm delight', 'cheerfulness', and carries forth the knowledge of being 'well-off'. 

HAS he told or taught you to be angry? Has HE told or taught you to be frightened / fearful? Has HE told or taught you to be accusatory to those who do not truly know HIM nor do HIS Will? 
Has HE taught or told you to be haughty, prideful, selfish, and 'holier-than-thou'? 

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! (My joy is overflowing, LOL) 
HE has shown us to be joyful. HE has shown us to have love and abide in HIS love. 

12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 

To whom is this speaking, "one another"? 
This speaks specifically of those who are on the Vine. This includes those natural to the Olive Tree/Vine/Anointed One, and those who have been grafted in. 

Who are these who have been grafted in? 

Rom 11:1-36 
1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, 

This word translated "against" into the English is 'Kata' in the ancient Greek. 
2596 kata (kat-ah'); 
a primary particle; (prepositionally) down (in place or time), in varied relations (according to the case [genitive case, dative case or accusative case] with which it is joined): 
KJV-- about, according as (to), after, against, (when they were) X alone, among, and, X apart, (even, like) as (concerning, pertaining to touching), X aside, at, before, beyond, by, to the charge of, [charita-] bly, concerning, + covered, [daily-], down,
every, (+far more) exceeding, X more excellent, for, from ... to, godly, in (-asmuch, divers, every, -to, respect of), ... by, after the manner of, + by any means, beyond (out of) measure, X mightily, more, X natural, of (up-) on (X part), out (of every), over against, (+your) X own, + particularly, so, through (-oughout, -oughout every), thus, (un-) to (-gether, -ward), X uttermost,
where (-by), with. In composition it retains many of these applications, and frequently denotes opposition, distribution, or intensity. 

2596 kata- 
1) down from, throughout 
2) according to, toward, along 


Rom 11: 
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 

IKing 19:14 
14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.  (KJV) 

Rom 11: 
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. 

"seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal" refers to YHVH'S 'wife', HIS 7,000 Zadok Priesthood. 

5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 

"the election of grace" speaks of the 144,000 of Israel. 

6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. 
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 

The multitude of "Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for". But, YHVH'S 'bride', 144,000 have "obtained it". 
What is it that the multitude "seeketh for" and have not obtained (because they have "forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword")? 
What is that the 144,000 Election of Grace have obtained? 

8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 

That which the multitude of Israel have not obtained, but YHVH'S Election has, are 'eyes to see' and 'ears to hear'. 

9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: 
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. 

11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 

Have the multitude of Israel erred/sinned so very much that they shall be condemned to death or be irreversibly unsavable? 
No, many shall be brought into YHVH'S Truth. 

"provoke to jealousy" is 'to stimulate a rivalry'. 
"Gentiles" speaks basically of Ethnos, all who are not of the tribes of Israel. 

How does this stimulate a rivalry? 
When the multitude of Israel (who will bow to Satan in ignorance, pride, etc) see that many peoples of the Ethnos are grafted into The Vine (by witnessing and publishing the Truth from YHVH). It shall cause them to rethink their position and decision. 
The first Ethnos grafted were grafted in before the time of the apostasy begins. These early graftings are known as the Kings and Queens of the Ethnos. And, they shall be witnesses for the sake of YHVH in the sight of their own people. 

12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. 
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. 
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? 
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? 
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.  (KJV) 

Let's get back to John 15. 
"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you." 

Can you do this? Can you, and will you, "love one another, as I have loved you"? 

This is HIS Commandment. And if you are in HIM, and desire HIM to be in you, then you would joyfully "love one another, as I have loved you".

John 15: 
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 

YAHSHUA did "lay down his life" (in the flesh). 
Are you HIS servant? Shall you become HIS "friend"? If so, then you will be willing to do whatever HE commands, enjoins, or instructs you to do at the appropriate time. 

"for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you." 
Have you shown yourself approved unto HIM? 
Have you studied and do you understand all that HE has made known to us? 
"I have made known unto you" carries with it 'responsibility', an obligation to HIM, and to HIS children. 

Let's consider the timing of YAHSHUA'S statement. 
"Henceforth I call you not servants" 

"Henceforth" refers to 'from that moment on'. 
When was that moment? 
This was minutes before YAHSHUA was delivered up to the council, betrayed by one of HIS disciples (Judas Iscariot), and taken into custody by a "a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees" [John 18:3] 

Please think upon this for a moment. 
At the time we are delivered up to councils by our own people whom we have lived and worked with, YAHSHUA shall no longer be just our Master , and we HIS servants, but HE shall be our friend, and we HIS. 

YAHSHUA was delivered up to the councils, delivered up by one of HIS own. 
The Elect shall be delivered up to councils, delivered up by their own. 
Who are these who shall deliver HIS Elect up to councils? 

Matt 10:21-22 
21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. 
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.  

This speaks not only of flesh family members, but can include some of those who had been in the Elect's spiritual family (as Judas had been a part of YAHSHUA'S family). 
What could happen that would cause one of your spiritual brethren to deliver you up? 
Could it be that confusion has entered their minds? Could it be they were not as strong and prepared as they had previously and, perhaps, pridefully, thought they were? Would not this bring great doubts into that one's mind? Could it be that they will become subconsciously offended at the Truth as it corrects them? 
Any of these reasons, and many other reasons, could cause the spiritual brethren to become susceptible to an evil spirit which would influence the spiritual brethren to turn away from the Truth. 

Now, remember what shall be happening in the world at this time in this last hour. (This is immediately prior to Satan's arrival disguised as 'Jesus/God'. So, it is after the supernaturals have been here for many days.) 
The supernatural, spurious prophets shall be here. This shall be during that time of great and magnificent miracles, spectacular visual signs and wonders, and the greatest revival and time of learning that the world has ever witnessed. 

YHVH'S Two Witnesses, HIS Zadok Priesthood, and the Kings and Queens of the Ethnos shall have YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT upon them. And, YHVH shall be working miracles also in the sight of the people through these, even though many people may not recognize these works as miracles. 

"Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends" 
HE shall call HIS Elect "friends", rather than "servants" at the appropriate time. 
And, this time shall be at the time when HIS Elect are prepared and willing to allow HIS HOLY SPIRIT to give them that which they are to say. 
HIS servants become HIS "friends" "when they shall lead you, and deliver you up". And remain "friends" when HIS HOLY SPIRIT shall give HIS Elect (friends) that which they shall speak, "take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost." 

Mark 13:11 
11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. (KJV) 

John 15: 
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Rev 14:1-5 
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

"Lay Down His Life"

John 15: 
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. 

To whom is YAHSHUA speaking, "If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin"? 
"but now they have no cloke for their sin." 
This "cloke" refers to a 'reason'. 
YAHSHUA is referring to those HE spoke of in verse 21, "But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me." 
This speaks of those who did not recognize and accept YAHSHUA as the MESSIAH; those who do not acknowledge YHVH  to be their FATHER. 
Who is the 'father' these have chosen? Satan. 
What does this mean? "If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin." 
If these had never heard the Words of YHVH'S Truth from the very mouth of YAHSHUA, then they would not be held responsible for their sins done in ignorance. But, since these had been given the Words of YHVH'S Truth from the very mouth of YAHSHUA, then they have no viable reason or excuse, and shall be held responsible for their acts and words. 

Because of that which these evil men think against YAHSHUA MESSIAH, these evil men shall persecute HIS servants and friends. And, they shall not be able to use the excuse later that 'they did not know' or 'they were innocent because they had been deceived and it was the spurious supernatural entities' fault'. 
We know that which YAHSHUA, HIMSELF, shall say to these, at HIS return: 

Matt 7:22-23 
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (KJV) 

YAHSHUA'S 'friends' shall speak the words that shall be give unto them in that hour by THE HOLY SPIRIT in the sight of these evil flesh men, many of whom shall be on the councils. 
So, these 'evil men' shall not have an excuse later when YAHSHUA returns, and they shall be held responsible for their evil words and ways. 

John 15: 
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. 
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. (KJV) 

"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:" 

Who is the "Comforter"? 
The "Comforter" is YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT....The "Spirit of truth". 

When shall the "Comforter" come; when shall YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT come upon YHVH'S servants/YAHSHUA'S friends? 

We shall have, in chapter 16 of John, the answer to this question.
