A Monumental Achievement for Our Time

In these last days, as the nation teetered on the edge of civil war, the Altar of Reconciliation appeared just in time. Through the courageous leadership of Apostle Peter Michael Martinez, led by the Qadosh Ruach, the first scripture-compliant altar in over 400 years was restored to the land—ending a hidden curse that has plagued Western civilization since the Middle Ages.

The 12 Stone Altar: Spiritual Significance

The “12 Stone Altar” is a concept with significant spiritual meaning rooted in biblical accounts. The number 12 represents the 12 tribes of Yashar’al, and the altar serves as a powerful symbol of unity, remembrance, and faith.

📜A Memorial to יהוה’s Faithfulness

In the book of Joshua, after the Yashar’alites miraculously crossed the Jordan River into the Promised Land, they were commanded to take 12 stones from the riverbed and set them up as a memorial.

These stones were meant to be a permanent reminder of יהוה’s power and faithfulness in leading them through an impossible situation.

🤝Unity of יהוה’s People

The 12 stones represent the 12 tribes of Yashar’al. When the stones are brought together to build an altar, it symbolizes the unity of the entire nation under יהוה’s covenant.

This theme is seen in Eliyahu’s story on Mount Carmel, where he rebuilt a torn-down altar with 12 stones to call the divided tribes back to true worship of the one יהוה.

🔥A Call to Worship and Obedience

Altars in the Bible were places of worship, sacrifice, and covenant. The 12-stone altar serves as a physical representation of spiritual truths, inviting people to return to יהוה and obey his commandments.

The act of building an altar with “uncut stones” emphasizes the importance of pure and unadulterated worship, without human alteration or embellishment.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦A Testament to Future Generations

The purpose of the memorial stones in Joshua was so that when future generations asked about their meaning, the story of יהוה’s miraculous works could be retold and passed down.

The altar, therefore, is a tool for teaching and a lasting testimony to יהוה’s providence and power.

The Ancient Altar Conspiracy

⚠️The Error of Balaam: Cursing Through Compliance

The altar conspiracy is ancient. Our adversary has been cunning in getting mankind to CURSE themselves through the “Error of Balaam”—leading people to violate יהוה’s commandments while appearing to worship Him.

This strategy allows the enemy to avoid direct karmic retribution or judgment, while still achieving the goal of bringing curses upon יהוה’s people through their own actions.

“They have followed the way of Balaam… who loved the wages of unrighteousness.”
— 2 Peter 2:15

The Physical Evidence: It Cannot Be Denied

It cannot be argued that the compliant altar is physical and not figurative. The evidence is overwhelming:

Churches still have “altar calls” — referring to physical locations within buildings
Builders still put “altars” inside buildings — violating the command for open-air worship
These altars use hewn (cut) stones — directly forbidden in Exodus 20:25
Elevated platforms with steps persist — violating Exodus 20:26

The Self-Inflicted Curse

By building and maintaining these polluted altars, religious institutions have unknowingly caused their congregations to curse themselves. Every prayer offered, every worship song sung, every “altar call” answered at these defiled locations perpetuates the spiritual bondage.

The enemy’s strategy is brilliant in its deception:

People believe they are honoring יהוה

They approach altars built in direct violation of His commands
They invoke curses upon themselves through their “obedience”
The enemy escapes accountability—the people cursed themselves
This conspiracy has operated successfully for over 400 years in North America alone.

The 400-Year Curse: A Hidden Plague

The Pollution Began in Medieval Europe

Before the Protestant Reformation and the subsequent migration of settlers to the American colonies, a spiritual plague was unleashed in Europe during the Middle Ages. Altars—the sacred places of worship, prayer, and reconciliation—began to be constructed in direct violation of scripture’s clear admonitions.

These violations were not accidents. They were intentional corruptions designed to curse all who would come to these altars with reverence, offerings, prayers, or worship.

❌ HEWN STONES
Altars built with cut stones shaped by iron tools—explicitly forbidden in Exodus 20:25

❌ INSIDE BUILDINGS
Altars enclosed within structures, separating worshippers from the open heavens

❌ MULTI-STEP RISES
Elevated platforms with steps—violating Exodus 20:26’s instruction against exposing nakedness

The Curse of Exodus 20

“For I, YHWH your Aluahayam, am a jealous Aluahayam, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me…”
— Exodus 20:5

This secret curse perpetuated for the third and fourth generation, bringing division, strife, and spiritual bondage upon all who approached these polluted altars. What was meant to be a place of reconciliation became an instrument of curse—and only the most astute Bible scholars recognized this hidden plague.

The Plague Migrates to America

When European settlers crossed the Atlantic to establish the American colonies, they brought this cursed altar practice with them. For over 400 years, every altar constructed in the Western hemisphere—from the earliest colonial churches to modern mega-ministries—perpetuated the same violations.

Generation after generation suffered under this curse of division and strife, completely unaware of the spiritual root. The plague spread like wildfire, hidden in plain sight within the very institutions meant to bring people to YHWH.

The Courageous Restoration

No Other Ministry Addressed This Crisis

For over four centuries, not a single ministry in North America recognized or addressed this critical, gaping curse. Countless pastors, teachers, and religious leaders built their altars according to tradition—never questioning, never examining the scriptures, never discerning the spiritual bondage they perpetuated.

Until Apostle Peter Michael Martinez.

Led by the Qadosh Ruach

Through divine revelation and unwavering obedience to the Qadosh Ruach (Set-Apart Spirit), Apostle Peter Michael Martinez was shown the truth about the polluted altars and given the mandate to restore a scripture-compliant altar to the land.

This was no small task. It required:

Courage to stand against 400 years of religious tradition
Precision in following every scriptural requirement
Faith to complete what no other ministry had attempted
Spiritual authority to break generational curses

✓ Scripture-Compliant Design

The Altar of Reconciliation

“Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.”
— Matthew 5:23-24

This altar stands as the Matthew 5 Altar of Reconciliation—a place where brothers and sisters can come to make peace before offering their gifts to YHWH. After 400 years of cursed altars perpetuating division, this altar brings the healing power of true reconciliation.

Perfect Timing for a Nation in Crisis

As America stood at the brink of civil war, torn by division and strife, the restoration of this altar came at the appointed time. The nation now slowly recovers from the edge of destruction, and the Altar of Reconciliation stands as a beacon of hope and healing.

We must never forget this lesson. What was hidden for four centuries has been brought to light. The curse has been broken.

The Significance of the East Gate

Positioned at the Line of the East Gate

The 12 Stone Altar is not randomly placed. It stands precisely at the geographical line of the East Gate—the same gate through which the glory of YHWH enters (Ezekiel 43:1-5).

In ancient temple worship, the East Gate held supreme significance:

The gate through which the Shekinah glory entered the Temple
The direction from which Messiah will return
The portal of divine presence and prophetic fulfillment
The threshold between the earthly and the heavenly

Set Apart Land

The altar rests on qadosh (set apart) land at Portal, Arizona—a location divinely appointed for this restoration. This is not merely symbolic; it is a physical manifestation of spiritual authority and divine order restored to the land.

Here, at the East Gate position, the remnant assembly gathers to worship in spirit and truth, free from the curse that bound previous generations.
