Dear Friend, follower of Yeshua (Jesus):
"Be submissive to every human institution and authority for the sake of the Lord, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, Or to governors as sent by him to bring vengeance (punishment, justice) to those who do wrong and to encourage those who do good service. For it is God's will and intention that by doing right [your good and honest lives] should silence (muzzle, gag) the ignorant charges and ill-informed criticisms of foolish persons. [Live] as free people, [yet] without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but [live at all times] as servants of God." (1 Peter 2:13-16 AMP)
"LET EVERY person be loyally subject to the governing (civil) authorities. For there is no authority except from God [by His permission, His sanction], and those that exist do so by God's appointment. [Pro_8:15] Therefore he who resists and sets himself up against the authorities resists what God has appointed and arranged [in divine order]. And those who resist will bring down judgment upon themselves [receiving the penalty due them]. For civil authorities are not a terror to [people of] good conduct, but to [those of] bad behavior. Would you have no dread of him who is in authority? Then do what is right and you will receive his approval and commendation. For he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, [you should dread him and] be afraid, for he does not bear and wear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant to execute His wrath (punishment, vengeance) on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be subject, not only to avoid God's wrath and escape punishment, but also as a matter of principle and for the sake of conscience." (Romans 13:1-5 AMP)
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you [the priestly nation] have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you that you shall be no priest to Me; seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children." (Hosea 4:6 AMP)
These are serious times we are living in right now.
There is a time for everything.
"A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak" (Ecclesiastes 3:7).
This is the time to speak and not to be silent.
I have lived in this world for almost 6 decades and I have never seen things fall apart as they are right now. This is not the time to be in a state of denial. It is time to wake up to the great wickedness of this world and to believe facts and, most of all, believe ALL the words of the Bible and live by them. God says this about our people (Jews and Christians) in these end times:
"Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin." (Isaiah 30:1)
"Now go, write it down on a tablet in their presence, inscribe it on a scroll, so that it might be preserved for a future time as an enduring witness. For these are rebellious people – they are lying children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s law."
"They say to the visionaries, “See no more visions!” and to the seers, “Don’t relate messages to us about what is right! Tell us nice things; relate deceptive messages. Turn aside from the way; stray off the path. Remove from our presence the Holy One of Israel.”
"For this reason this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “You have rejected this message; you trust instead in your ability to oppress and trick, and rely on that kind of behavior."
"So this sin will become your downfall. You will be like a high wall that bulges and cracks and is ready to collapse; it crumbles suddenly, in a flash." (Isaiah 30:8-13 NET)
We may have reached the time when God will stop overlooking our great sins.
Let's pray God will continue to have mercy on us.
"Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit (this happens in the fall which is fast approaching-emphasis mine). And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more." (Amos 8:1-2)
"Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land. Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations."
"And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
"Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come. An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come. The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains." (Ezekiel 7:2-7)
Based on the above scriptures, we know there will be a time when God will no longer pass over the collective sins of the nations of the world including the U.S.
Based on the current national and worldwide social conditions, we are getting closer.
Lately, my video teachings have been very serious because these are serious times and God commands ministers to do the following:
"Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God." (Isaiah 58:1-2)
Obviously, the above scripture reveals God expects His messengers (ministers), when necessary, to cry aloud (not soft or quiet) and tell His people their sins to encourage them to repent.
Bible teachings sometimes must have a tone of seriousness based on the times we are living in. For example, Yeshua was quite emotional when He was rebuking the Rabbis (Matthew 23).
Unless God has mercy on this nation, we are going to go through some serious issues in the next few months with the COVID-19 pandemic. We all need to pray God has mercy on this nation and that this nation and all other nations yield to the TRUE God and His ways.
If we don't collectively repent, then the curses will continue.
"At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it. If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them." (Jeremiah 18:7-8)
"If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance."
"Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed."
"And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God." (Deuteronomy 28:58-62)
