son, saying, “Surely they will respect my son!” Yahshua then shared the following:

Matthew 21:38-39
“But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let
us kill him, and seize his inheritance.’ And they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and
killed him.”

These are the thoughts and actions of those who have become impregnated with the mind of Satan.
Yahshua stated that Satan “comes only to kill, steal, and destroy.” Acting like children of the devil,
the Jewish leaders killed the Son of God, seeking to wrest control of the vineyard (Judaism) for
themselves. Their actions were those of rebellion and revolt (revolution) against Yahweh and His
Son. Does this not explain why there is so much apostasy among Judaism today? Orthodox Jews
continue to deny the authority of the Son of God. They have corrupted the commandments of
Yahweh through their oral law, and they have been led of Satan to adopt many idolatrous and
spiritually unclean symbols, holidays and traditions. Talmudic and Kabbalistic Judaism is a
manifestation of rebellion against Yahweh.

Consider then, the age at which a young boy is officially given entrance into this religion of
rebellion. It is at the age of thirteen. This is an age that is not only associated with young boys
beginning to manifest rebellion in their lives, but it is a number that signifies rebellion and apostasy
in the Bible. Could there be a more appropriate age at which to introduce someone to the rebellion
and apostasy of corrupted Judaism?

In both ancient and modern times, the age of thirteen marked the time when a Jewish boy would
experience his bar mitzvah celebration marking his coming of age and responsibility as a “son of
commandment” (the literal meaning of “bar mitzvah”). This term, however, refers to more than a
coming of age ceremony. The young man himself becomes a “bar mitzvah,” which is defined by the
rabbis as “an agent who is subject to the rabbinical law.” By becoming a bar mitzvah, the young man
at the age of thirteen receives his official introduction into the rebellion and apostasy of rabbinic
Judaism, binding himself to it.

Upon experiencing this coming of age ceremony, the young Jewish boy is deemed mature enough
to wear the tefillin. The rabbincal method of wearing a tefillin on the arm is to wrap the black leather
thong around the arm, hand, and fingers a total of thirteen times. This is true for all who wear the
tefillin, not just those who are experiencing their bar mitzvah ceremony.
