Letter from recording artist, Aviad Cohen

Hey it’s Aviad. Hope all is well by you. During this time, if you have a moment, I am asking if you can please lift me and this new album project up in serious prayer. Let’s just say that I am under some serious spiritual attack. I am not able to get into the details, but there are some people who know what’s going on. Satan is trying to attack my faith, accusing me of not being forgiven and even using Christians to be unforgiving to me, after I have repented for sins and there are also some unsaved Jewish people out there posting some pretty hateful messages out there online about me, aligning me with being as equivalent to middle eastern radical extremist terrorists who are in the press. This is obviously not true. They are also sending demonic curses through the internet aimed at me, expressing things that I cannot even state in this email.

Again, I also have a team of people around me who are seeing what is going on and they can testify on my behalf that I am not making this up or being paranoid. I would like to not embarrass the Jewish population right now by disseminating the truth about what many of them are doing to curse me and to cause me harm in the name of "HaShem" My God is not "HaShem" The God that orthodox and other Zionistic Jews worship is not the same one that I read in the Tanakh. As for the term Yiddishkeit, it is never mentioned once in the Tanakh. Their doctrine is found in the Talmud, which is the Jewish equivalent of another "so called" holy book of another religion, which invites its cult members to eliminate the "infidel." I will not mention that religion here.

At the end of the day, there are Jewish Talmudic extremists and sorcerers who want nothing more than to see me beheaded. This is not a joke. This is real life. If I were not a threat to them, they would leave me alone and their boss Satan would also leave me alone. Apparently I am shining for Yeshua Messiah and inspiring people to seek the God of Israel and to repent. For that, I am getting hit in many ways. My album project is having problems right now, we are working out the kinks and there is a possibility that someone is doing whatever they can to cause division between me and some people I know, severing professional relationships. Again, I have a team of people who are also aware of this and we just see this as being weird, yet perhaps expected. I did not realize that I was this much of a threat to Satan.

As for the album, it will be ready shortly. We are doing the best to bring you the best quality work we can provide within this budget that Yahweh has allotted. So far about 10 or so people purchased the MP3s of the new album. Not many at all. I’m really not sure how many will purchase the album. I will say that I have received a lot of comments from people who have listened to the music and are looking forward to buying the CD. The CD artwork is really nice and even though I mostly buy MP3s these days, because of the album artwork, I would probably be buying the physical CD instead. This is a ministry and believe it or not, your financial support makes a big impact on its survival. This is a full time job for me. If I don’t move on it each day, this album does not get out there. We are also in production of the cartoon music video for Yeshua On The Radio. This is all a lot of work and I thank those of you for your prayers and support. If by chance any of you would like to continue supporting this ministry, you can do so here.

I must say that despite what many unsaved Jews are doing to sabotage, falsely accuse me, set me up to receive more terrorism, I love them, forgive them and if you are one of those people receiving this message, posing as a fan, I have to ask you, "Do you really know what you are doing? Do you think the God of Israel finds joy in how you terrorize me and other Messianic Jews and Christians? You are a soldier of Satan. This is not good. You really need to look at what you are doing and re-evaluate your terrorist stance. What you are doing in the name of "HaShem" is no different than how Nazis attacked Jews during the Holocaust and how other radical extremists attack Israel. You are not any different than these people. Repent for the time is near."

I will now share a message to the Jewish terrorists who persecute Messianic Jews and Christians:

Luke 13:34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

Luke 13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of Yahweh." It’s amazing how it is considered to be a terrorist act by Jews if a Jew actually picks up the Scriptures and begins to read it and recite it among the congregation. You though the Scriptures was banned from schools…it’s also banned from the congregations. The law they follow is Talmudic….that is not the Scriptures. And in the Talmud it states that it is not a crime for a Jew to kill a Gentile, nor a crime for a Jew to rob from a Gentile. Do you actually think that the God of Israel who says in his commandments not to kill, give permission to a Jew to murder a Gentile and get off scott free? Scribes who made it clear in their Talmud that the Torah is not legit and that if Jews do not follow the words of the Scribes in the Talmud, they will suffer the penalty of death instituted that. Most Jews don’t even know this exists in the Talmud they have in their congregations. The same book also states that Yeshua Messiah (Jesus) is in hell, boiling in hot excrement. If you don’t know what excrement is, look it up. The only anti-Semites I see here are the radical extremist unsaved Jews who persecute Messianic Jews and then blame us, saying that we are evil, while they are the ones who fire bomb our houses of worship, attempt murder on Messianic Jews, burn New Testaments in Israel, harass, threaten, beat, deface property and destroy property, as well as slander, blackmail and defame Messianic Jews. Do we Messianic Jews do any of this to unsaved Jews? No. We just share the Good News of salvation through Yeshua Messiah. Instead of saying thank you or no thank you, they terrorize us. And what does the rest of the Jewish population who finds out about this do, even though they don’t agree with these Jewish radical extremists who attack us, they just sit and do nothing. For if they stood up to these Jewish hate mongers, they know that even if they don’t believe in Jesus, they would be considered anti-Semites just because they don’t agree with Jewish terrorism against Messianic Jews. Apparently some Jewish extremist people have decided to hop into Nazi boots and start acting like the Yiddish SS. These people complain of being attacked by Middle Eastern terrorists, yet if they put a mirror up to themselves and saw the reflection of how they are acting towards Messianic Jews, they would probably look at themselves and scream "ANTI-SEMITE!" and then the next thing would be that they would have to take a second look at who they are accusing of being anti-Semites, taking a hard look into that mirror and realizing that it is not a window looking at someone else. They are looking at themselves.

How is it that they can call me an anti-Semite and anti-Jew, when I myself AM A JEW? I read from the Tanakh, obey the commandments of the God of Israel (the best I can), embrace the coming Messiah (who already came) named Yeshua. I praise the God of Israel and am a light unto the Gentile as the Scriptures say we are to be. And I’m an anti-Jew? That’s inaccurate. Funny thing is Jews For Judaism have a new slogan "We’re The Good Guys" If they were so good, they would not have to advertise that they are the good guys. Their actions would speak louder than words. But unfortunately that is not the case and they need to cover up their deception and below the belt counter-missionary tactics, Scripture manipulation and brainwashing…so of course they need to manipulate people in thinking they are the good guys. As a Messianic Jew, I never have to "remind people I am the good guy." Why? Because my actions should speak louder than words. Apparently I am a threat to Jewish counter-missionaries since I am a nice Jewish boy who actually opened up the Word of Yahweh and took it seriously, instead of just showing up to Jewish temple on Saturday to meet hot chicks and find new business contacts.

You want to know why they loved me as 50 Shekel? Because I was naive, confused, Scripturally ignorant, Zionistic as opposed to a praiser of Yahweh instead of a praiser of Yiddishkeit and Judaism, I was their puppet to keep Jewish children in religious confusion and to continue instilling false pride. I would also then accept Kabbalah witchcraft, as a legit form of Judaism-which it is not. Anything they said, I would believe, because they are rabbis. But now, I read the Scriptures and see their hypocrisy is not in alignment with the Tanakh. It’s like taking a circular cylinder and trying to fit it into a cube hole. It doesn’t fit for on reason. It is not the shape. Judaism/Talmudism/Kabbalah etc is the circle trying to claim that it fits into Torah. Their man-made religion and traditions are completely different than the Torah. In fact their scribes even make that clear, but they would not even know that…because their don’t even read the Talmud. They just do what they are told, instead of dropping their false pride, picking up the complete Scriptures and just start reading already. The only message that I am pumping out is the Truth. And no, the term Yiddish or Yiddishkeit, Judaism, Jewish….none of these words are ever found in the Tanakh (Old Testament). Either is the word Ashkenazi. Something to think about. What I would love is to see Jews begin to take an ACTIVE ROLE in being Jews and reading the Word of God and finally taking His Word as the final word, without the interpretations of their rabbis who aren’t even God.

Can you imagine you work for a company and the CEO sends out a memo to you and then someone intercepts the message and writes their interpretation on the same page, telling you what THEY THINK your CEO is trying to communicate. All you have to do is read the CEOs message. You don’t need their interpretation. If you want to see this put into action, just open up any Jewish Chumash. Apparently the CEOs memos have been intercepted. Most Jews are so scared of the people who claim to be working for the CEO, when in fact they instill fear in the other workers so much to the point that the workers have left the company and gone after other gods. Welcome to the current state of Judaism where the majority of Jews have followed after other gods, including mammon (money). If they just read the Word, they would realize that Yeshua (Jesus) Messiah is Yahweh’s right hand man – literally speaking. Seated at the right hand of His throne. This is so obvious. Now it’s your time to finally reclaim your faith. At the end of the day, if actual blood DNA tests were conducted to see which Jews (bloodline-wise) are even real Jews to begin with, I think the results would absolutely shock the majority of Jewry. Some of you might not even be Jews by blood and you don’t even know it. So it doesn’t matter. You either are a person who serves the God of Israel in Truth or you choose Yiddishkeit, the political stance of Zionism and Babylonian Talmudic Judaism. It’s your choice. Choose wisely.

Some Messianic Jews might be opposed to me being this bold, but then again, more than likely Satan is not attacking them. Why? Because they would rather be politically correct than love a Jew enough to invite him or her to open up the Scriptures and read it. That doesn’t serve any good. It just serves ones own personal agenda of keeping to themselves. Comfort zones are for sellouts. When this is all over, Yahweh is not going to ask you if you kept the Truth to yourself. He will probably ask you whom you shared it with. (I’m also talking to you Christians who avoid sharing the Good News with the Jews, just so you avoid getting attacked. It’s Good News, not the black plague.) If you are a Messianic Jew, just telling unsaved Jews that you are "Jewish" tells them that you are no different than they are…Atheistic, Zionistic and pessimistic about if they truly are really forgiven for their sins every Yom Kippur when they shell out $250 for a congregational seat. Have you ever heard of the Scriptural term, "SET APART"? By kosherly camouflaging yourself so that you just fit in with them serves no purpose, except that you are just trying to fit in and experience Yiddishkeit. Stop being a double agent. Well that’s what it looks like. Time is short. You are either sharing or you are not caring. If I was a Jew who was unsaved and had a Jewish friend of mine who for 2 years did not tell me they were a Messianic Jew and then suddenly came to me and told me they believe in Yeshua (Jesus) Messiah for all this time, I would feel more betrayed that they kept this from me for 2 years than if they told me they were believers from the get go or shortly after. This gift of salvation is free. Shout the Good News on the rooftops. Share the True hope in Messiah with them. So what if they stone you. They stoned Stephen and you respect Stephen. You know in the Scriptures there aren’t recording really of Messianic Jews who kept their faith to themselves. You want to know why? Because if you keep it to yourself….you are not a Messianic Jew. You’re just scared. Satan would love no more than to cancel my ministry and throw me on the street with no home. He doesn’t like you either if you share.

You know what being a Messianic Jew around unsaved Jews and not sharing the Good News with them is like? That is like playing wiffle ball instead of hardball. You aren’t going to hit no home run for the God of Israel with some plastic, weightless wiffle ball. You can’t make an impact in peoples lives by just sitting there in the stands. If they want to kill us because we share the True Jew Good News, fine, let them kill us. What’s more noble, loving them enough to tell them the Truth or loving Judaism so much that you just kosherly camouflage among them as their souls are chained to Satan, heading straight to Gehena (hell)? I was not born and raised in the Messianic movement. God called me out of Rabbinic Judaism as he called out Rav Shaul (Paul). I am not here to play wiffle ball. Lives are on the line (both Jew and Gentile) and if you want to sit in the stands and praise God with colorful Davidic flags instead of being out there on the field and SHARING GOD…you’ve got to be kidding me. Share or Don’t Care. You have one option. There is no gray line. Pick one and do it. You will have your reward.

Pop out of your comfortable bubble, get out there, love on them Jews and tell them the Truth! Yeah, they might scream "ANTI-SEMITE" if you invite them to read their own Torah, but that’s just the demons inside of them who are freaking out that this person who they have inhabited is drawing one step closer to the God of Israel and salvation through His Son, Yeshua Messiah. Satan and his demons want nothing more than to see Jews reclaim their faith. If they did, they would repent and start walking right with God and would ACTUALLY be inscribed in the Book of Life. HALLELUJAH!"

Thank you for your time and call to prayer and support. Now go pass this message around and post it online. Print it, eat it, I don’t care…just share the Truth already. And if you are doing that, thank you very much. The field is HUGE but the workers are few.

Sincerely,

Aviad Cohen

P.S. Note to Jewish counter-missionaries: You mess with me, a Kohan and a child of the God of Israel….you are messing with the God of Israel. Instead of trying to crack skulls, start cracking open the Scriptures instead. Salvation is free through Yeshua Messiah, so stop scamming people, selling Yiddishkeit. It’s counterfeit and Jew know it.

It is written that Elohim hardend the heart of pharoah, an idol worshipper. Also when Israel fell into idol worship Yah said that he was going to send to the priests and to the inhabitants of Jersulam a spirit of drunkenness. And much later one of the Holy Disciples clairified that our God sends a strong delusion to those who exchange the truth of the living God for a lie. This is the testamony of a Jew who studies Talmud; that the word of YAH is insufficent, flawed, and that God cannot open our hearts and our minds to love and serve him in rightousness. Repent and beleive and trust in Him who gave you breath and toss out the leavening of false teaching.

trooper753 commented on November 19, 2009:

Shalom Aviad. I have added you to our congregations prayer list. Also another local messianic congregation has added you to their prayer list as well. I feel your music is important as our youth are leaving churches and synagogues in droves to listen to bad music and live in sin as a result. Your music has a great quality to it and great sounds. I am planning on passing along your name on our website and in our congregation etc. to get people to your website. In 2006 or so, I was visited by the FBI. A local agent who informed me that messianic jews on are a terrorist watchlist database held by the FBI. While it shook me up at the time, I never stopped teaching. I used to be a police officer. I believe that my background is a gift of G-d for that time as well as the present and the future to reassure me and to keep me from being afraid. This same agent has harassed me over the years. I am not paranoid- but I often believe I am in the twilight zone. So many times G-d has revealed himself to me in such dramatic and physical ways- actually seeing, hearing and via touch- see my story on the rabbis page at shmaministries.com. I have heard your story of conversion to believing in Yeshua. Praise the L-rd! When physically visited- it is to build your faith and he was showing you that He loved you enough then to allow you to see and talk to him- and he is with you now. You are the apple of His eye. He will tear down the walls that keep you from doing His will. Keep praising and singing. We are to praise the L-rd in all things and circumstances. Hey-it makes ha satan mad and thats ok by me! We are all doing a work for Him and it is a high honor to have trials. If ha satan is after you- thats a good thing. It means your doing something right eh? Thank you for your ministry. We should all support you as best we can in as many ways as possible. You remind me of something I have read over the years- the 144,000 will have a new song. The world will see soon your testimony shine through when the hatred of your persecutors is seen and your enemies will be a footstool for your feet. In the meantime keep praying for your enemies and keep heaping coals on their heads. Bless them and you will be blessed. G-d bless!

seattlepainter commented on August 06, 2009:

Shalom Aviad, I have only read parts of your story, but it was enough to confirm that you are probably under attack from many sides. That is the good news! "All those who desire to live Godly lives in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution" (2 Timothy 3:12). If we stand for the truth, then we have to assume that the world will hate us for it. Never let hatred take root in our soul. I realize that this is easier said than done, but it really is a core truth straight from Yeshua. You see, I am also under attack and things got much worse for me after I accepted Yeshua as my personal Lord and Savior. Stay grounded in the word and learn to react with joy whenever you are being persecuted. A great reward is awaiting you and this is the truth! We have been shown the truth and the way.

Levi commented on May 14, 2009:

Well Tonga, if God revealed His Messiah to you and it did not agree with the Jewish people's version of the Messiah, would you follow Him, or reject Him? And reject him because the rabbis reject Him and everybody else rejects Him? Could you live with yourself knowing that God revealed something to "you" and you rejected it? Maybe that is how Aviad feels and you all have railed him for it, eh? Put, yourself in his position, as if you were in it and then respond. I said you were judmental because of your words. My words are merely an observation of your words. You truly need to meditate on God and pray that He reveal His Messiah to you. But I suspect you are not brave enough to pray that prayer.

Tzidkenu commented on May 11, 2009:

Wait a minute Tonga. How can you say Aviad is guilty of avoda zarah but Christians aren't? Either all are or all are not. Your condemnation of Aviad in that he is mentally ill or unstable is so typical of how you unbelievers defend your ignorance. Instead of rationally discussing the Scriptures to determine if what Aviad is saying about Yeshua is true or not, you accuse him of being stupid or deceived or brain damaged. How insulting for you to think only incapacitated people can believe in Yeshua. Have you not heard of Rachmiel Frydland, Jacob Jotz, Leopold Cohen, Solomon Ostrovsky? All learned men in Torah, Talmud and all things Jewish and they believed but apparantly, you know better than all. I know exactly how Aviad feels. When I came to the knowledge of the truth 11 years ago, the first thing I felt was anger that I'd been lied to all my life. You are deceived and you are deceiving others into a false Judaism and away from the one true faith through our Messiah and condeming our people to eternal torment. You disagree? Fine but prove us wrong from the Scriptures and not your Talmud which is filled with lies, confusion and falsehoods. Furthermore, we have not cut ourselves off from the Jewish people as you claim. I have many in the community who do not believe but continue to have a relationship with me. I am more Jewish in my life and beliefs now than ever but because you deny the one, true God and His Messiah, I am to have no more part in you? You don't get to make those decisions. If you want to have meaningful dialogue over this issue that's fine. Otherwise, it would be better if you didn't say anything at all.

Tonga commented on May 07, 2009:

Levi, I am sorry that you found my comments judgemental, but this is what those of us who are religous believe. He has cut himself off from our people; now he complains that we apparently are speaking ill of him. All actions have consequences, and he should have been aware that once he decided to become Messianic he would be rejected by the Jewish community. G-d continually warns us to not fall into the trap of Avoda zara, which Aviad has clearly done (note: I am not saying Christians are idol worshippers). As to being judgmental, perhaps you should reread your own post.

Levi commented on May 06, 2009:

Tonga, I am sorry but I kind of see the pot calling the kettle black here. There are things which you said, that although on the surface they sound innocent enough, that are meant to be very judgmental. Who are you to say to Aviad, "...you have cut yourself off from the Jewish people. But it was your choice, and your choice leads to consequences you must live with." "Cut himself off from the Jewish people! Who are you to declare this? Are you God? Who are you to judge this man in that manner? Try to be respectful next time. Maybe Aviad found a nicer community of Jewish people to deal with than with yours'. You don't control God, so stop spreading lies about being cut off from the Jewish people. There are plenty of us that no longer fall for your form of self righteous religion, as proven by your own words. May Yeshua have mercy on you when He returns...hopefully you will find out sooner.

Tonga commented on May 05, 2009:

I'm a non-Messianic Orthodox Jew, and I've never heard of you. I've never heard anybody mention you or speak of you, so I think you are maybe just a teensy bit overly dramatic in how you think Jews are speaking of you. I feel nothing but sorrow that you have cut yourself off from the Jewish people. But it was your choice, and your choice leads to consequences you must live with. Your post is full of hatred, anger, and to be honest seems just a bit irrational. Not to be rude, but it seems to not come from someone who is mentally healthy. I hope you overcome your hatred and fill your heart with love for your fellow Jews. Like it or not, you are still one our people, even if estranged.

Levi commented on April 17, 2009:

Yeshua is the prize of the Torah...we will be praying...

RabbiAminidav commented on April 16, 2009:

Shalom Akh Aviad, We have conversed a few times between our emails, I never knew such a situation of contention was going on, All that you face as the text states: Count it all Joy Your letter here has caused a fire to burn and it is good to see someone as yourself stand up and make a bold proclamation as you have, it even challenged me- often as a Jew it is much easier to witness to a Christian or unbeliever than it is to witness to other Jews, not because of fear on my part but because of the wasted feeling of them never listening, They feel they no Torah and have it all and they have already filled there minds and Nshamahs with hatred and utter rebellion in hearing the good news, They proclaim we are christians and will bar you from there Synagogues & so called Temples and It is as asking the nail if he would come out of the wood by itself- in declaring the Besorah with them, I hope to this summer make moves with my Rabbi in witnessing on the streets of Rochester NY to all who will hear- Jew and Gentile alike to whoever we come in contact with, plus it is expressily difficult going in the Jewish Temple and declaring the word of Yeshua to them when they can easily throw us out, Now that you have clearily expressed your Lev Tahor- now express the method by which such can be achieved thou we bare scripture evidence talking about doing so, how do you suppose we achieve that at this time, Now i receive emails from The Messianic Bible organization and they are doing wide mission centered work through out Jerusalem. I shall pray for you and may the attacks of Satan be broken in Yeshua's name Ahavah Rabbi Aminidav Ben Avraham Hinton Ha'Roeh Ha'Tov Melech Yeshua Ha'Mashiach be with you in all your goings and in all your doings, may he place a shield around you and stop all the attacks of HaSatan and shut the enemies mouths and silence the demons at this time and may he bring to you and to all around you Shalom, Shalom in your NShamah, Body, Mind, Thoughts in Yeshua Ha'Mashiach's name we proclaim it as done....

Irishwanderer commented on August 27, 2008:

Wow! the passion and the emotion. Here I am a fear to say it "christian" who has messianic friends who get all up in arms because I say I am a Christian seems to me that they Hate christians their method of outreach is to keep quite while talking about how Jewish they are and that as a "believer" I must keep shabbat and tithe and obey all the law except the sacrifices and then the Brit Hadashah talks about the Liberty I am supposed to have. I have never seen anyone in this movement be concerned about my wicked heart but more about the bacon and egg sandwich I might eat for breakfast. This guy sounds a bit upset who wrote the above letter but he is right how many Jewish or Gentile souls have you all reached out to? Not with Judaism but with the message of freedom from sin through the blood of Jesus "oh I forgot you can't mention blood either because it upsets people" REPENT People the Lord is coming and he will Judge the living and the dead don't be caught with your talent of treasure in the ground hidden but put it to use God is Great His works endure forever

josiah commented on August 19, 2008:

Shalom Aviad, We love your work and we support you in your struggle with those trying to bring you down and destroy your faith. Keep doing God's plan for you and you will be blessed!

Ahava commented on August 19, 2008:

Aviad, your unwavering faith is inspirational for all, and you are in our prayers! "You are either sharing or you are not caring"...no truer of words - we all must break out of the bubbles of compromise we live in to spread the Gospel of Yeshua!

Malcolm J Osborne commented on August 19, 2008:

Shalom Aviad, the flack that you have been getting is far worse than I have and I will be praying for you. I have been getting it as a writer on and point of contact for our website - mayimchayim.co.uk {I trust that I am allowed to mention that here.} The Q's, A's & Comments section will highlight some of these. Regards, Malcolm.

Ybathashem commented on August 14, 2008:

Shalom Aviad, yes, i will be praying for you as well. It is unsettleing hearing the attacks that are coming at you and it reminds me of the days that are ahead for G-d's people. Pray Psalm 91 over yourself everyday. I also painted the verse in Hebrew (red paint) over my front door. The enemy can read it and he knows the boundaries that cannot be crossed. Remember Psalm 27:13 do not loose hope, stay strong in the L-rd. Remember Joseph when he was in the pit and how hopeless and under such attack he was? remember what his brother said? "We shall see what comes of his dreams?" And Baruch HaShem! They did. Aviad, we shall see what comes of your dreams. Shalom Tammy B.

Louise Alton commented on August 14, 2008:

Shalom Aviad, We will be praying for you and we certainly understand what you are going through. After the Passover, I believe Yeshua sang hymns when going out towards the garden of Gethsemane. Image singing when you know you are going to die! Wow! Psalm 118 ends with such joy from verse 22 to 29. And look at verse 6: "The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? The Lord is with me (Aviad); he is me helper. I will look in triumph on my enemies." I know it is difficult emotionally, but spiritually you have everything you need to face your enemy and sing... Keep singing my friend. God Bless, B'Shem Yeshua.
