We are living in the most amazing days of humanity that one could ever dream of! That is for those who “Have Eyes to See”. Mankind has inhabited this earth for roughly six thousand years since the creation of the first man Adam, and the rest of mankind with him.
And over that six thousand years there have been amazing turning points in civilization that have changed the world forever.
The first one was the sin in the Garden of Eden by Adam and Eve. Up to this point there was a perfect environment in the world. To most, living today in such a defiled, weather beaten, destroyed ecosystem that man has done to this earth, it is hard to even imagine. However, to those who simply believe in scripture we know this to be the case.
We know that at creation “everything was good”. Meaning there was no decay of flesh, there was no killing of life, and the whole earth, including the atmosphere was perfect. Animals were tame, weather was flawless, and there was only a perfect environment. And most of all there was no death.
Gen 2:8 And YAHWEH Elohim planted a garden in Eden to the east; and He put the man whom He had formed there.
Gen 2:9 And out of the ground YAHWEH Elohim made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food. The Tree of Life was also in the middle of the garden; also the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Gen 1:31 And Elohim saw everything that He had made and behold, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning, the sixth day.
However, after Eden, we have an extremely different environment in which human being’s bodies would now decay, and eventually die. Growing food would also now be a chore and not as natural as when Eden was created. There would be weeds, and weather difficulties, etc. that mankind would have to fight against to eat his daily bread.
Gen 2:16 And YAHWEH Elohim commanded the man, saying, Eating you may eat of every tree in the garden;
Gen 2:17 but of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil you may not eat, for in the day that you eat of it, surely you shall die.
Gen 3:17 And He said to the man, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree about which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat from it, the ground shall be cursed because of you; you shall eat of it in sorrow all the days of your life.
Gen 3:18 And it shall bring forth thorns and thistles for you, and you shall eat the plant of the field.
Gen 3:19 By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until your return to the ground. For you have been taken out of it; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.
However, with the canopy of waters above the earth, and the canopy of waters below the earth, there was still a somewhat green house effect in the atmosphere and weather was still not drastically cold, and people, even though they would eventually die, still lived up to a thousand years.
Then, the next major change happened with the flood. The flood of Noah dramatically changed the entire earth in many ways. Before the flood most likely the earth was all of one land mass with the waters circling the earth. Also, with the canopy of waters above the earth and temperatures being more tropical, there were most likely no artic ice caps yet. Also, with the atmospheric pressure being doubled the lung capacity was also much greater, which enabled humans and animals to live much longer.
When the canopy of waters was opened and dropped from the heavens it caused many major changes to the earth. Canyons were created in some places, and mountains in others. With the change of temperatures polar ices caps most likely formed at this time, and caused what some scientists wrongly think today was an ice age, but in reality, was only formed by the flood of Noah due to temperature changes with massive precipitation in certain parts of the earth.
From this time until today the earth is still regenerating itself trying to get back to Eden. And over the last four thousand years or so there have been major changes to society, such as the start of the iron age where for the first-time tools and weapons where made form iron and not stone. And in the Roman Empire they were the first to orchestrate a mile marker highway system that enabled world pilgrimages to travel mostly unhindered.
Then, we have the invention of gunpower and guns that forever changed wars and the way people fought for acquiring animals for food. And as time went by we had inventions of such power as coal and the railroads, and electricity and motorized engines, and one that really changed society and how it functioned was the automotive. The automobile made it possible for the first time in history for man to work outside of his home and village, and the world has never looked back. And now in the last 100 years we have had the radio, Television, telephones, and most recently, the Internet, and the thousands upon thousands of electronical gadgets that people use daily.
The world has truly changed much in six thousand years. However, because of the way that Yahweh created our nervous system and minds, as humans we will focus on what in life at that time is most real to us. So, to someone living during any of the time periods we mentioned, their life would have been extremely different than our lives today, but more importantly their minds and thought patterns would have been different.
As an example, in normal society today how many people actually think about acquiring food on a daily basis?
The answer is very few. Either someone lives in an area where they can simply go out to the supermarket and buy all their food, or many live in third world conditions where food is scarce and need organizations like the United Nations to provide their daily food.
But, think about how society was before 150 years ago, or even 500 years ago? Almost everyone in that society would have spent the vast amount of their day simply supplying themselves with food to eat. The farmer would get up before dawn and be in his field plowing, or seeding, or weeding, or harvesting.
And then, after harvesting, working on ways to preserve what he harvested until the next crop. This would have taken almost all of his time. If he was a hunter it would be similar. He would be out before dawn searching for his prey, and then killing it, gutting it, and preserving the meat for as long as possible.
A wife would have been spending most of the day cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, and preparing food to be preserved for future use. This was people’s whole life, and even though we can watch it in TV shows, and movies, and documentaries, because we do not personally live a life like this daily, we really don’t concept what life was like in those days.
And just as uncommon would have been a person from 150 years ago to see the normal lifestyle of a human being living today. A person living in the 1800’s could never understand in his wildest dreams why a human being today would be hypnotized looking at a phone or computer screen for hours on end, or even worse, how two men could walk down the street hand in hand. The mentality of a person in the 1800’s could never understand what he would see today. And yet today it is normal.
We are in another great change today, and the change that will happen in our day is the ultimate change, it will change from this sick, immoral, demonic world to the Kingdom of Yahweh.
And as hard as it would have been for a person in the 1800’s to concept how wicked and immoral our world is today, it is just as inconceivable for this sick world of depravity to concept the Kingdom of Yahweh.
And yet that Kingdom is more real than anything that has ever been before it. And in reality, all other aspects of past societies will be forgotten, but the Kingdom of Yahweh will go on forever.
Isa 65:16 He who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the Elohim of truth. And he who swears in the earth shall swear by the Elohim of truth; because the former distresses are forgotten; and because they are hidden from My eyes.
Isa 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and new earth. And the former things shall not be recalled, and they shall not go up on the heart.
Rev 21:4 And YAHWEH will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no longer, nor mourning, nor wailing, nor will there be pain anymore; for the former things have passed away.
I know it is hard to grasp this fact when we look at the world today that in just a few short years all earthly governments, all cultures and fads, all monetary systems, and religious activities, will relinquish forever. Our whole society that is mostly built on pleasure seeking and money will be gone forever! They will not even be remembered again forever.
I know that since we are flesh and blood finite humans with a timeline the day we are born to how many short days we will spend on this planet that our minds can only concept what we see daily, but as this article has shown, even in this passing world, societies have changed dramatically at times and people’s mindset has also changed dramatically.
And when the Kingdom of Yahweh comes there will be the most dramatically changed mindset to ever happen. No longer will people ever have even a thought of greed, lust, or pride. No longer will anyone ever even think to steal, to lie, or to commit adultery. No longer will Yahweh’s set apart remnant have to try to convince a reprobate world to be obedient to Yahweh’s Torah.
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will cut with the house of Israel: After those days, declares YAHWEH, I will put My Torah in their inward parts, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.
Jer 31:34 And they shall no longer each man teach his neighbor, and each man his brother, saying, Know YAHWEH. For they shall all know Me, from the least of them even to the greatest of them, declares YAHWEH. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sins no more.
Can you imagine what a world this will be? In today’s world in many areas a true believer may be the only person in his/her town that is resting and worshipping Yahweh on His set apart Sabbath day, and yet in that day, as hard as it is to conceive, every person in every town will be worshipping and honoring Yahweh on each and every Sabbath day.
Isa 66:23 And it will be, from new moon to its new moon, and from Sabbath to its Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me, says YAHWEH.
This should be the reality of every true believer’s life. This should be the focus and the joy daily to not only believe with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, that these things are true and will be the actual reality in just a few short years, but to be preparing for that time so that we will be ready and qualified to serve in the position set out for us by Yahshua.
Did you ever think about the fact that this is what Yahweh and Yahshua are doing? Many people falsely believe that Yahweh and Yahshua are up in heaven sitting on a cloud, playing some harp and killing time. When in reality, Yahweh is waiting and working every day in anticipation for His Kingdom to come.
Zec 8:1 And the Word of YAHWEH was to me, saying,
Zec 8:2 So says YAHWEH of Hosts: I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great wrath.
Zec 8:3 So says YAHWEH: I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem shall be called a City of Truth, and the mountain of YAHWEH of Hosts, the Holy Mountain.
Zec 8:4 So says YAHWEH of Hosts: Again, there shall be old men and old women sitting in the streets of Jerusalem; and each man with his staff in his hand because of their many days.
Zec 8:5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.
Zec 8:6 So says YAHWEH of Hosts: If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, will it also be marvelous in My eyes? says YAHWEH of Hosts.
Zec 8:7 So says YAHWEH of Hosts: Behold, I will save My people from the land of the rising sun and from the land of the setting sun.
Zec 8:8 And I will bring them, and they shall live in the midst of Jerusalem. And they shall be for a people to Me, and I will be their Elohim, in truth and in righteousness.
Zec 8:9a So says YAHWEH of Hosts: Let your hands be made strong, you who hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets.
And Yahweh is not only waiting in anticipation for that day, but He is actively working in these end times to bring that Kingdom about. He is fulfilling hundreds of prophecies in His sacred word about the very days that we are living in.
Do you realize the patience that Yahweh must have to make a prophecy about Israel ceasing to be a sovereign nation for 2,520 years, and then, waiting that entire time period to make that prophecy come true?
How patient He must had been as generation after generation, worldly, evil, humans would mock him that His word is not true because it hadn’t happened yet?
And now, in this last generation before the Kingdom of Yahweh will be set up on this earth we are blessed to see with our eyes the modern end time nation of Israel come into being again. We are seeing with our own eyes the reality of our brother Judah being taken from all nations and brought back to the very Promised Land of Israel.
And we are seeing Yahweh working on fulfilling so many other prophecies in His word.
Isa 35:6 Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing. For waters shall break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
Isa 35:7 And the mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty land shall become springs of waters, in the home of jackals, in its lair, and a place for the reed and rush.
In the 1990’s artisan wells in the south desert of Israel starting springing up and gushing from underground just as this scripture states and the very desert land now has become like the Garden of Eden with greenery and fruit trees and flowers.
Eze 36:34 And the desolated land shall be cultivated, rather than being a ruin in the eyes of all passing by.
Eze 36:35 And they shall say, This land that was desolated has become like the garden of Eden. And the wasted and desolated and razed cities are fortified and inhabited.
Eze 36:36 And the nations left all around you shall know that I, YAHWEH, built the razed places and planted that which was desolated. I, YAHWEH have spoken it and will do it.
Yahweh has also been busy fulfilling other end times signs and prophecies such as the Revelation 12 sign in the heavens, which only occurs once in a 7,000 year time period. And probably the most important and amazing sign that Yahweh has raised up in the last few years is the sign of the Tabernacle of David, with the original standing pillar that was placed as a sign of Yahweh’s faithfulness to fulfill His covenant and to have His Son, who is also a seed of King David, sit on His throne during the 1,000-year millennial reign.
Amo 9:14 And I will bring back the captivity of My people Israel. And they shall build the waste cities, and live in them. And they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them. They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
Amo 9:15 And I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be pulled up out of their land which I have given to them, says YAHWEH your Elohim.
Amo 9:11 In that day I will raise up the Sukkoth of David that has fallen, and I will wall up its breaks. And I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as the days of old;
2Sa 7:12 When your days are fulfilled (speaking to King David), and you lie with your fathers, then I shall raise up your seed after you, who shall come out from your loins, and I shall establish his kingdom.
2Sa 7:13 He shall build a house for My Name, and I shall establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
2Sa 7:14 I shall be a father to him, and he shall be a son to Me. If He takes iniquity upon Himself, then I will chasten him with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of men.
2Sa 7:16 And your house shall be sure, and your kingdom before me forever. Your throne shall be established forever.
We are living in THAT DAY! And, Yahweh and Yahshua are preparing each and every day for that glorious eternal soon coming Kingdom. ARE YOU?
Are you daily preparing and working on overcoming your human faults and growing in the 9 fruits of Yahweh’s Spirit? Are you actively using your Spiritual Gifts to bear fruit for the soon coming Kingdom?
One of the ways that Yahweh is working on redeeming this earth for His soon coming Kingdom is through His congregation to work on redeeming the souls of mankind to go from this sick, wicked, world of death, to entering into covenant with Him, and to become a child of His, and a member in that soon coming Kingdom.
Did you know that it is the responsibility of each called out baptized covenant person in the congregation to actively be a part of this great end time work of redeeming the earth?
Mat 24:14 And this good news of the Kingdom shall be published in all the earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Yahweh has set up earthly organizations through His congregation over the last 2,000 years to fulfill His very purpose of redemption, and now in these last days He has set up the Congregation of Yahweh Jerusalem over the last 20 years from His very eternal capitol Jerusalem for this redemptive work. And Yahweh has called and chosen each of you and has given each of you gifts from His spirit to be a part of His very work that He is doing.
And each of us will either be reward or punished for the fruit that we bear with the gifts that He has given us.
Luk 19:12 Then He said: A certain well-born man went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and to return.
Luk 19:13 And calling ten of his slaves, he gave to them ten minas and said to them, Trade and keep busy until I come.
Luk 19:15 And it happened as he returned, having received the kingdom, he even said for those servants to be called to him, those to whom he gave the silver, that he might know what each had gained by trading.
Luk 19:16 And the first came, saying, Master, your mina has gained ten minas.
Luk 19:17 And he said to him, Well done, good slave! Because you were faithful in a least thing, have authority over ten cities.
Luk 19:18 And the second came, saying, Master, your mina has made five minas.
Luk 19:19 And he said to this one also, And you be over five cities.
Luk 19:20 And another came, saying, Master, behold your mina which I have stored up in a facecloth.
Luk 19:21 For I feared you, because you are a harsh man, taking what you did not lay down, and reaping what you did not sow.
Luk 19:22 But he said to him, I will judge you out of your own mouth, wicked slave. You knew that I am a harsh man, taking what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow.
Luk 19:23 And why did you not give my silver on the bank table? And coming, I might have exacted it with interest.
Luk 19:24 And to those standing by, he said, Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.
Luk 19:25 And they said to him, Master, he has ten minas.
Luk 19:26 For I say to you, To everyone who has, it will be given. And from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
Rev 22:10 And he said to me, Do not seal the Words of the prophecy of this Book, because the time is at hand.
Rev 22:11 The one acting unjustly, will continue to act unjustly; and he who is filthy, will continue to be filthy; and to the righteous, let him continue to do righteousness; and he who is holy, let him continue to be holy.
Rev 22:12 And behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each according to his work.
Yahweh is real and every word of His written scripture will come to pass. He is alive and active in this world’s future and He is actively working to bring about His Kingdom. He has also called and chosen us as members of His congregation and family to work to help bring about that Kingdom.
In the past 5 years through the Mathew 24 project we have witnessed to millions and millions of people worldwide of that soon coming Kingdom. We have had millions of Bible downloads and also sermons, books, Bible studies, and articles downloaded from the website. And the true people of Yahweh have been a pivotal part of that work by prayer and tithing, and also by using their talents for local ministry and working the Mathew 24 project in the local areas. And we have gotten thousands of requests worldwide and thousands of new people baptized and joining Yahweh’s end time restoration work from Jerusalem.
It is the most exciting thing in my life to be able to be a part of the very restoration of mankind that the Eternal Creator, Yahweh, is actually doing with His only begotten Son Yahshua Messiah. It is also so exciting to know that Yahweh and Yahshua are excited about what is now happening on this earth and they are excited with anticipation for that Kingdom to come.
How about you? Do you have a Kingdom mindset or a worldly one? Are you a part of Yahweh’s end time restoration work? Do you pray and support the end time work that Yahweh is doing through the leadership He ordained? Are you using the spiritual gifts that He has bestowed upon you or are you burying them in a napkin? Do you wake up each and every day with joy and excitement knowing that one more day has passed and we are yet one day closer to the Kingdom than yesterday?
Rom 13:11 Also, knowing this that now is the time and the hour for you to awake from your sleep, for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
Heb 10:35 Then do not throw away your confidence, which has great reward.
Heb 10:36 For you have need of patience, that having done the will of YAHWEH you may obtain the promise.
Heb 10:37 For, the time is very short and He who is to come, will come, “and will not delay.”
Heb 10:38 “But the righteous shall live by faith;” “yet if he draws back,” “My soul is not pleased in him.”
Heb 10:39 But, we do not belong to those drawing back, which leads to perdition; but to the faith which restores our soul.
Yahweh is actively working to bring about His word, and He has called each and every one of us to be a part of this great end time restoration work. What could be more important in life than that? We are to come out of the world that is controlled by Satan the devil and we are to be bearing fruit and working daily for the soon coming Kingdom of Yahweh. Yahweh has already brought our brother Judah back to the land of Israel and is now preparing for the return of the other tribes according to His word. Are you preparing for your home coming to Jerusalem or are you planting yourself in a world that is disappearing? Are you preparing for the Kingdom of Yahweh as Yahweh is preparing?
