Dear Friend,
The message of the Bible is clear to those who desire to understand it.
- The GREAT creator desires for us to obey his rules, regulations and instructions. This is similar to your boss at work. The boss expects you to obey the terms of your employment contract. If you void the terms of the contract, then you get "fired." Well if you void the terms of Yah's (God's) contract (His rules, regulations and instructions), then you also get "fired." Getting "fired" in God's case is being destroyed in the lake of fire (Revelation 21:7-8; 20:15).
Thankfully, most people will finally "get it" and avoid the lake of fire. Unfortunately, Yah prophesies through His prophets there will be GREAT suffering before this happens.
"With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness." (Isaiah 26:9 KJV)
"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." (Revelation 7:9-17 KJV)
"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." (John 3:14-21 KJV)
"Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." (John 12:31-32 KJV)
Notice: "All of mankind will be drawn to Him."
Also notice Yeshua (Jesus) died so the whole world might be saved. This certainly means Yah expects to save many of mankind.
"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." (1 Timothy 2:4 KJV)
"For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all." (Romans 11:32 KJV)
We know it won't be all of mankind because there is a lake of fire. So, unfortunately, some will choose the way of death even after seeing and understanding the tremendous benefits of living the way of life.
Everyone will be resurrected and judged but not everyone will be resurrected at the same time.
"For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all." (1 Cor. 15:22-28 KJV)
The order of resurrections (I have included a graphic image to help you understand the order of resurrections attached to this e-mail):
1. Those who have or had the firstfruits of the spirit-the Bride of Messiah in their bodies at the time of death (1 Peter 1:11; Romans 8:9-11, 23; James 1:18; Hebrews 11:39-40; 1 John 2:25; 1 Peter 4:17; Ephesians 1:12-13; Revelation 20:4-6).
2. The rest of dead will be resurrected AFTER 1,000 years from the 1st resurrection of the firstfruits (Revelation 20:5; Ezekiel 37:1-14).
3. The Great White Throne Judgement. Those whose name is found written in the book of life live forever. Those who don't have their name written in the book of life are destroyed in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15). To have our names written in the book of life, we need to do the following:
"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." (Revelation 22:14 KJV)
None of us will not have the right to the tree of life (eternal life) if we do not keep His commandments.
We hope for SALVATION by keeping all of His commandments.
"LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments." (Psalm 119:166 KJV)
In the future, the MAJORITY of mankind will keep ALL the commandments including the Shabbat and the Holy Days. Those who refuse will be destroyed. Those who keep the Shabbat and the Holy Days now are the 1st group of mankind to do it (the firstfruits).
"And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh." (Isaiah 66:23-24 KJV)
"For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments." (Malachi 4:1-4 KJV)
Truly, the duty of mankind is to keep Yah's commandments.
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." (Eccl 12:13-14)
"If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15 KJV)
"Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth (Psalm 119:142, 151 - emphasis mine) through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently." (1 Peter 1:22 KJV) - The TRUTH is obeying ALL of His commandments and instructions (Psalm 119:142, 151; Matthew 4:4; John 17:17). The TRUE Spirit of Yah consists of the TRUTH (John 14:17; 16:13).
We must live by EVERY word of Yah (Matthew 4:4; Deuteronomy 8:1-3).
And, we must obey ALL of the commandments like the Messiah did (1 John 2:1-6; John 14:6; John 15:10).
We are NOT His friends if we refuse to do everything He commands us (John 15:14).
And, if we are friends with people in the world, then we are Yah's enemy.
"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." (James 4:4 KJV)
The works of the world:
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." (1 John 2:15-17 KJV)
False doctrine is also of the world and we should avoid it and people who embrace it.
"And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds." (2 John 1:6-11 KJV) - Part of the teachings of Messiah are understanding we must keep the Shabbat, the Holy Days and the Clean/Unclean meat instructions. The Shabbat is the sign that you will know the Master "set you apart" from the wicked ways of this world (Exodus 31:12-18; Ezekiel 20:12-13).
During the end-times, Yeshua expects His believers to be keeping the Shabbat:
"But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day." (Matthew 24:20 KJV)
Those who will qualify to escape all of these things will be keeping the Shabbat day.
The Doomsday Clock has moved forward to 2 minutes to midnight. The Bible gives us some insight about midnight.
"In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand." (Job 34:20)
"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." (Matthew 24:21-22 KJV)
"Be careful not to spend your time having parties and getting drunk or worrying about this life. If you do that, you won't be able to think straight, and the end might come when you are not ready. It will come as a surprise to everyone on earth. So be ready all the time. Pray that you will be able to get through all these things that will happen and stand safe before the Son of Man." (Luke 21:34-36 Easy to Read Version - ERV)
"Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps." (Matthew 25:1-7 KJV)
Most Christians/Messianics whether they keep the Shabbat, Holy Days and the Clean/Unclean meat instructions or not are asleep and do not have God's spirit in them. Remember, Yeshua said the time of His second coming (the 21st century - emphasis mine) would be similar to the days of Noah and Lot (Luke 17:26-30; Genesis 6:1-6). The Holy Spirit was lacking during the Days of Noah and Lot and it is certainly lacking in the 21st century because most of the population of the world do not obey ALL the commandments of Yah (Isaiah 24:1-6). - He only gives His Holy Spirit to those who desire to obey Him completely or fully (Acts 5:32; James 2:10-11; Numbers 14:24; 32:11-12).
"But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it." (Numbers 14:24 KJV)
"Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me: Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD." (Numbers 32:11-12 KJV)
Prophetically, the majority of the TRUE Shabbat keeping people of Yah are in the following state:
"And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: 'The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation."'I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'" (Revelation 3:14-22 KJV)
"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised; Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart." (Jeremiah 9:25-26 KJV)
"You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you." (Acts 7:51 ESV)
No wonder Yeshua said the following about the number of TRUE believers before the Great Tribulation:
"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (Matthew 7:14 KJV)
"Those days" in Matthew 24:21-22 are referring to our current nuclear bomb days or generation.
- I am not predicting when Messiah will come back. However, when you analyze the facts, I will be very surprised if He does not come back in the 21st century.
We are living in perilous times and we should be concerned about the future of this world (2 Timothy 3:1-8).
Ultimately, if we desire to be counted worthy to escape all of these things (if we are alive when these things occur), then we must practice pure worship or religion.
"The religious observance that God the Father considers pure and faultless is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being contaminated by the world." (James 1:27 CJB)
"Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it." (Isaiah 1:13-20 KJV)
If we keep the Shabbat, the New Moons and the Holy Days and hate our fellow human beings and don't care about their needs, then Yah does not recognize our keeping the Shabbat, the New Moons and the Holy Days. We are not considered righteous if we don't care for the needy (Proverbs 29:7).
If we give to the poor (sacrifice and offer - Hebrews 13:16), and don't desire to keep any of the other commandments, then Yah does not recognize you giving to the poor.
"I may give away everything that I own, I may even hand over my body to be burned; but if I lack love, I gain nothing." (1 Cor. 13:3 CJB)
Love is keeping ALL of Yah's commandments (Romans 13:10; 1 John 5:3; 2 John 1:6).
We must desire to keep ALL of Yah's commandments, not some of them. We must practice Pure worship or religion (James 1:27).
"And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king." (1 Samuel 15:22-23 KJV)
"But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee." (1 Samuel 16:14-15 KJV)
"We are witnesses to these things; so is the Ruach HaKodesh, whom God has given to those who obey him." (Acts 5:32 CJB)
I have included the best prophecy chart I have ever seen attached to this e-mail.
- We must prepare to leave our countries and go to Jerusalem and then from Jerusalem to Jordan to escape the destruction that will come upon the earth. This move will require great trust in God and some will not have the trust/faith to do it. Remember the example of our brethren in the wilderness for the last days. They were expected to keep the Shabbat and the Holy Days and the rest of His rules and commandments in the wilderness and Yah expects end-time believers to do the same (1 Corinthians 10:1-11). Those who refuse to leave their countries and stay behind will have to get their heads cut off to become the bride/wife of Messiah and be resurrected first (Revelation 20:4-6). Remember Lot's wife and what happened to her ( Luke 17:32). Also remember the bad attitude of almost the whole population of the earth during the days of Noah. We must not have the same attitude if we expect to escape the tremendous destruction that will occur upon the earth (Luke 17:26-37: 2 Peter 3:1-6). Yah will let us know when it is time to leave our countries just like He warned our 1st century brethren to flee to Pella, Jordan (Acts 2:17-21; Joel 2:28-32; Daniel 11:40-41; Revelation 12:13-17; Psalm 91). In the weeks and months ahead I will be teaching about this.
If there was ever a time to "wake up" then it is NOW.
Those who are worthy to escape all these things won't be in the dark about prophecy (1 Thessalonians 5:1-11; Hebrews 10:24-25).
"Without a prophetic vision, the people throw off all restraint; but he who keeps Torah is happy." (Proverbs 29:18 CJB)
