Yahweh’s people need to wake up to the truth of the Scriptures from a prophetic point of view. We are living in what the Bible describes as the end times. What is described as the time of “Jacob’s trouble”, or the Great Tribulation, is just around the corner. All of Yahweh’s children look with great joy and anticipation to Yahshua’s coming Kingdom. But the hard, cold reality is that this great tribulation must come first. Many believe that they will be raptured up to heaven, but there is not a single scripture in the Bible that speaks of a pre-tribulation rapture. It is just another lie of the devil to keep Yahweh’s people from striving to live a holy life.

John 14:3 “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto Myself, that where I am you may be also.”

Yahshua is coming back to Earth. We are not going to heaven. John 3:13 plainly states that NO MAN HAS ASCENDED UP TO HEAVEN, BUT HE THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN even the Son of man that is in heaven. Why can’t Christians plainly look at the word of scripture? No man is in heaven, not Abraham, not Jacob, not David, and not Moses. The Holy Scripture refers to the dead as asleep.

1st Cor 15:51-52 “Behold I speak a mystery to you; indeed, we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment, in a glance of an eye, at the last trumpet; for a trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

In Scriptures, the dead are known as sleeping in the grave. They are not in heaven.

Heb 11:39-40 “And all these (The fathers of the faithful) having obtained a good report, through faith, received not the promise, Yahweh having provided some better thing for us, that they without us, should not be made perfect.”

Our promise is to be turned into spirit, like Yahshua at the resurrection of the saints, at His return. Also notice in 1st Cor 15:52, it tells when this resurrection will happen. It is at the LAST TRUMPET. In the book of Revelation there are seven trumpets blown by seven angels.

Rev 8:2 “And I saw the seven angels which stood before Elohim; and to them were given seven trumpets.”

At the sound of the first trumpet, the Earth is smitten and one-third of all  trees on Earth are burned,  as well  as all green grass. At the second trumpet the sea is smitten, the third trumpet—the waters. At the fourth trumpet the heavens are smitten, and a third of the sun, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars are darkened. At the fifth trumpet two hundred million demons are let loose from the abyss. They are allowed to give grievous sores to anyone who does not have the seal of Yahweh. At the sixth trumpet a third part of mankind is killed. Then, and only then, after all this tribulation, does the seventh trumpet blow.

Rev 11:15 “And the seventh Angel sounded, and there where great voices in heaven saying “The kingdoms of this world, are become the kingdoms of our Master, and of his Messiah, and he shall reign forever and ever.”

The dead will be raised, and those who are still alive and are faithful believers, will be caught up in the sky, to meet our Savior at his return (Mat 24:13).

1st Thess 4:15-17 “For we say this to you in the word of Yahweh, that we the living that remain to the coming of Yahshua, not at all will go before those who have fallen asleep; (the dead are sleeping, they are not in heaven).

Because Yahshua Himself shall come down from heaven with a commanding shout of an arch – angel’s voice, and with Elohim’s trumpet (seventh trumpet after tribulation). And the dead in Messiah will rise first. Then we who remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to a meeting with Yahshua in the air. And so we will always be with our Master.”

Here we read that there is no pre-tribulation rapture, but we are caught up at His return at the seventh trumpet, after the tribulation.

Mat 24:29-31 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall the tribes of the Earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.”

It is after the tribulation of those days that the saints will be gathered. The word heaven, erroneously translated in most Bibles, should read “sky.” The Bible indicates three heavens; the sky, outer space and the third heaven where Yahweh’s throne is. Where, then, does the idea of the rapture come from? It comes from the scripture we just quoted in 1st Thess 4:17. The words “caught up” come from the Greek word “harpazo,” where rapture comes from. But it is very clear, from this scripture and the others we have quoted, that we are “caught up” at the last trump. Why is the pre-tribulation doctrine so dangerous? Many times I have spoken to Christians to try to wake them up to the seriousness of the times we are living in. The answer that they give is “I don’t have to worry about the tribulation; I am going to be raptured before that.” Matthew 24: 13 clearly says, that we are to “endure to the end.”  The  rapture  was not a belief held by early believers, but actually began in the 1800s from a “vision” of a little girl. The belief of protection through tribulation is not wrong. Yahweh will protect His true, faithful followers through this hard time coming on the Earth. What is dangerous about the rapture theory is that many are not preparing themselves for the hard times that are coming. We must wake up to our calling, as it states in Hebrews the third chapter, “WHILE IT IS CALLED TODAY.”

We must put away endless hours of pleasure-seeking and watching meaningless TV. We must stop relying on our weekly paycheck and IRA accounts, and start trusting in Yahweh. We must stop putting our faith in insurance and self-reliance. Our faith should be in Yahweh and him alone. We must truly learn to walk by faith, each day, not worrying about tomorrow. Only by faith do we enter the kingdom. We are living in the most sinful, pleasure -seeking society mankind has ever known.

Luke 17:26-32 tells us that the end time will be like the days of Noah and the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. The problem in both societies was unbelief and moral laxity.

Those societies have nothing on our society today. How can it get any more immoral? Homosexuality is legal and accepted by most and churches even accept homosexual pastors.. Babies can be legally murdered (abortion). Did you know that from as early as four weeks old, a baby has a heartbeat? They are developing a nervous system. They have little hands and little feet. The same people who fight to keep the murdering of babies legal, will also risk their lives to protect an animal or the environment. Why? Because the belief system of the human race is haywire, they have exchanged the law of Yahweh for their own human carnal conscience. Since the removing of Yahweh’s law and prayer from school, society has quickly gone downhill like a rolling snowball. The men of sin, who call themselves ministers of Jesus, have only set the stage for an even greater lawlessness to come. How can we expect the government of the United States to uphold the law of Yahweh, if ministers are all saying it is done away? The stage is set and the world is ripe for the true man of sin to be revealed. It is truly a lawless society.

It all goes back to the Garden of Eden. Eden literally means, “To be in the presence of Yahweh.” It was not only a place, but also an environment. The way to stay in that environment is to believe Him; not just the things that seem convenient to us, but every last word.

Mat 4:4 “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word out of the mouth of Yahweh.”

When Adam and Eve stopped believing Yahweh and bought the lie of the devil, they were cast out of the Garden of Eden or out of “the presence of Yahweh.” Mankind has been under the curse of the law ever since. That curse is its penalty.

Ezek 18:4 “The soul that sins, it shall DIE!”

Yahshua came to Earth to redeem us from that death penalty, give us a new spirit and heart of obedience—to put us back in Eden “the presence of Yahweh.” When He died, the veil of the temple (separation from Yahweh) was torn in two from top to bottom. The same thing that separated Adam from Yahweh’s presence will separate you also. UNBELIEF!

Heb 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him. For he that comes to Yahweh must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him.”

Every word Yahshua gave is for our good. Do you believe that? Do you believe that every law, every statute and every judgment is for your good? If you do, then why would you not obey them? Yahshua said the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath (Mark 2:27).

Psa 111:7-10 “The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his commandments are true, standing firm forever and ever; they are done in truth and uprightness. He sent his redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever; holy and awesome is his name. The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom; all who practice them have a good understanding; his praise is standing forever!”

Listen to the promise that Yahweh makes with those that love him and KEEP (guard, protect) His commandments. When Yahweh promises something, it is as if it is already done.

Deut 7:9-11 “Because of this, know that Yahweh, your Elohim, He is Elohim. The faithful Elohim, keeping the covenant and mercy to those that love him, and to those that keep his commandments, to a thousand generations. And repaying to his face those that hate him, to destroy him; He  will not delay, he will repay him to his face. And you shall keep the commandments and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I am commanding you today, to do them.”

It was prophesied in the end time that false ministers would creep into the congregation of Yahshua and preach lawlessness, to set the stage for the man of sin, the false messiah.

Jude 3-4 “Having made all diligence to write to you about the common salvation, beloved, I have need to write to you, to exhort you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. For certain men crept in secretly, those having been of old, marked out for this condemnation, ungodly ones, perverting the grace of Yahweh for lawlessness, and denying the only master Elohim, even our Master Yahshua.”

Satan has used these false teachers to blind most Christians today.

2nd Cor 4:3-4 “But also if our gospel is being hidden, it has been hidden, in those being lost. In whom the god of this age (Satan) has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the brightness of the gospel, of the glory of Yahshua, who is the image of Yahweh, should not dawn on them.”

The false messiah is going to look like the real Messiah to the ones who don’t know, or are indifferent to, the Holy Scriptures.

2nd Cor 11:14 “Did not Satan marvelously transform himself into an Angel of light?”

The Bible says that this man of sin will do every form of false sign and miracles.

2nd Thess 2:9 “Even him (man of sin), whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.”

Rev 13:13-14 “And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the Earth in the sight of men. And he deceives them that dwell on the Earth by means of those miracles, which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the Earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had a wound by a sword, and did live.”

This man of sin does not come looking like the devil. No, just the opposite! He comes as a religious figure, such as the Pope, and the majority of the world who does not love the truth, will accept him. He not only claims to be a great religious figure, he claims to be Elohim himself.

2nd Thess 2:3-4 “Let no man deceive you, by any means. For that day shall not come except there come first a falling away (from truth), and the man of sin be revealed, the Son of perdition; who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called Elohim, or that is worshipped; So that he as Elohim, sits in the temple of Elohim, showing himself that he is Elohim.”

The deception will be so great, that if possible, even the very elect will be deceived.

Matthew 24: 24 “For there shall arise false messiahs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; in so much that, if it where possible, that even the very elect should be deceived.”

This is a scary thought. There is only a very small number who are the “very elect.” The scripture says that many are called but few are chosen. This deception will come because love of scripture and the truth is not present in this current world. Yahweh will allow the deception because they love the world and the traditions of the world more than they love him.

2nd Thess 2:6-12 “And now, you know the thing holding back for him to be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already working. Only He holding back now, until it comes out of the midst; and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom Yahweh will consume by the spirit of His mouth; and He will bring to nothing by the brightness of His coming. His coming is according to the working of Satan in all power and miracles and lying wonders, and in all deceit of unrighteousness in those being lost, because they did not receive the love of the truth in order for them to be saved. And because of this, Yahweh will send them strong delusion, for them to believe the lie, that all may be judged, those not believing the truth, but who have delighted in unrighteousness.”

What is so frightening about this scripture is that Yahweh allows this delusion to happen because people do not love His word. Millions of books written by men are read every year, but only one book was written with the finger of Yahweh. Sad to say, most Christians have neither read it completely, nor do they read it daily. The Holy Scriptures are our food, our lifeline. Can you imagine going weeks or months without food? Yet most Christians go without the most important spiritual food daily. Most of the world will reject the one and only true Elohim and will accept this false prophet with the end time beast because they have neglected the Word of Elohim.

Revelation 13: 3-4 “All the Earth marveled at the beast, and they worshipped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, who is like the beast, who is able to make war with it?”

In verses 16-17,  it speaks of a mark that will be given to the entire world in honor of this beast. The mark is placed in the right hand  or  in  the  forehead. It will be 666, the number of man. I have heard many believers say, “I will never take that mark, for all who take it will lose eternal life.”

If you look closely at why the mark is in the hand or forehead, you will be surprised. We think with our mind (forehead) and we act with our hands. The mark of the beast goes far beyond having a literal mark or computer chip in you, although it literally will be on the ones who accept it.

Our aim must be of having Yahweh’s word in our mind (forehead) and turning those thoughts into actions (works with our hands).

Deut 6:6 “And these words (his law), which I command you this day, shall be for frontlets between your eyes (forehead).”

That is very interesting. The mark of Satan is the number of man, 666, and is in the hand and forehead. The mark of Yahweh is His law and is also in the mind, (faith) and accomplished through the hands (works). Many do not think that this world’s substitute pagan worship of Yahweh and Yahshua make that much difference, but clearly you see two markings. The marking of man’s system, with its pagan traditions, and Yahweh’s sealing, with His  royal  law and Holy Days based in truth. We are too close to the end to play Russian roulette with our Salvation. We need not only to read the Holy Scriptures daily but to begin to believe them.

In Revelation the sixth chapter it talks about seven seals that have to be opened in order to begin the great tribulation. Five of those seals are present today in one form or another.

FIRST SEAL

Revelation 6:2 “And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”

This represents false religion, which is rampant in this world. Almost all organized religion is steeped in so much paganism and false doctrine that it is hard to consider any of them true Christianity.

SECOND SEAL

Revelation 6:4 “And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the Earth, and they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.”

This represents war. There are currently over 173 wars being fought. Except for North America and Australia, there is war everywhere. Never before have there been so many wars.

THIRD SEAL

Rev 6:5-6 “And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo, a black horse; and he that sat  on  him  had  a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.”

There is famine all over the world. Currently there are almost a billion people on Earth who are starving to death and it is getting worse. One half of the world is experiencing severe drought, and in other areas there is horrendous flooding. Asia and the Middle East and  Africa are in a serious drought situation and some parts are suffering famine. There is a lot of suffering  going on in Eastern Europe also. The AIDS epidemic in Africa is staggering. It is reported that in the black community of South Africa the AIDS rate is as high as 70% to 80%. Adding to the other woes are mad cow disease, hoof and mouth disease, and the Asian flu, which is affecting poultry. Millions of animals are being slaughtered.

FOURTH SEAL

Rev 6:7-8 “And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was death, and hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the Earth, to kill with sword, and  with  hunger, and with death, and with beasts of the Earth.”

FIFTH SEAL

Rev 6:9-11 “And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of Yahweh, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried  with  a loud  voice,  saying, How long, O Master, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth. And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.”

More Christians have been killed in the last few years than the whole 2000 years before. Sudan, Egypt, China and Indonesia are just a few of the places where this killing is taking place. This is not publicized much in America due to politics and financial reasons. If a Moslem converts to Christianity there is a death warrant put on his life. We have met many from areas such as Africa and the Middle East that are in this situation. Many have  had  to flee  for their lives. Statistics show that a Christian is killed somewhere in the world about every 8 minutes.

SIXTH SEAL

This is a great worldwide Earthquake that has not yet occurred. We are told that it is so strong that every mountain and island will be moved out of their place. After this seal, God’s wrath and the worst plagues ever to hit mankind will begin. The famine and the pestilence will get worse. Stars will fall from heaven and there will be hailstones weighing 100 pounds. Most people on the Earth will die during this time.

Isaiah 24:1-6 “Behold, Yahweh makes the Earth empty, and makes it waste, and turns it upside down, and scatters abroad the inhabitants thereof. And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with the master; as with the maid, so with the mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller, as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. The land shall be utterly emptied and utterly spoiled: For Yahweh has spoken his word. The Earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades away. The proud people of the Earth do languish. The Earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof: Because they have TRANSGRESSED THE LAWS, CHANGED THE ORDINANCES, BROKEN THE EVERLASTING COVENANT. Therefore has the curse devoured the Earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate; therefore the inhabitants of the Earth are burnt, and few men left.”

The seals of Revelation are paralleled in Matthew 24 by Yahshua as He tells His disciples about what to expect during the end times. Yahshua mentions in Matthew 24:7 that there will be “earthquakes in diverse places.” It is interesting to see the rise of the number of earthquakes in the last ten years. The number has doubled and it has went up 1,000 fold in the last 40 years, according to the United Geological Survey. This is another sign showing us that his return is very near.

Matthew 24:32-34 “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is nigh: So likewise you, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the door. Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.”

We are, to say the least, seeing the birth pangs of Yahshua’s coming Kingdom. With things growing worse so rapidly, we may be further down the line of prophecy than most want to admit.

ARE YOU READY TO MEET YOUR CREATOR?

2nd Corinthians 5:10 “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Messiah; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to what he has done, whether it be good or bad.”

What are your works? Does this scripture scare you? It ought to! The time for “playing church” is over. How many hours a day do you give to the Messiah as his servant? How many hours a day do you pray, study your Bible, and serve the widow, the orphan and the poor? Have you ever done this? It is time to lose self and pride and start seeking Yahweh daily if we want to be in His kingdom.

Luke 17:26-33 “And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when  the Son  of man is revealed. In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Remember Lot’s wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.”

How many survived in the days of Noah? How many survived when Yahweh destroyed Sodom? Not very many! Read again: “Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall  lose his  life shall  preserve it.” This whole world is based on self, pleasure seeking and greed. There is no room for that in the Kingdom of Yahweh!

Ephesians 5:5 “For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah and Yahweh.”

This world is passing away as you read this. It is time to look ahead to Yahshua’s Kingdom and stop living for this godless world. Do you live as a slave to the Messiah or as a king to yourself? Your life has been bought and paid for!

1st Corinthians 6:20 “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify Elohim in your body, and in your spirit, which are Yahweh’s.”

Yahshua tells us that He will turn many away who proclaim that they know Him!

Matthew 7:21-22 “Not everyone that saith unto Me, Master, Master, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Master, Master, have we not prophesied in thy Name? And in thy Name cast out devils? And in thy Name done many wonderful works? And I will say unto them, I never knew you, depart from me all you who work lawlessness!”

Everything in life that is worthwhile takes hard work and dedication. If you are going to be a doctor or a lawyer, it will take years of hard work and schooling; why do we think that preparation to be a ruler with Yahshua in his Kingdom will be any different? In Rev 2:17, Yahshua says He will give the hidden manna to the one who overcomes. Matthew 24:13 also says that He who endures till the END will be saved. You must wake up, and stop  letting  Satan  control your time and your life.

Ephesians 5:15-16 “Then watch how carefully you walk, not as unwise but as wise ones, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”

Here is a fictitious story that was given to me. When you read it, it will make you wonder how fictitious it really is.

ARE YOU BUSY?

SATAN called a worldwide convention. In his opening address to his evil demons, he said, “we can’t keep the Christians from going to church. We can’t keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth. We can’t even keep them from an intimate, abiding relationship experience in Messiah.

This is what I tell you to do:

Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection throughout that day!

“How shall we do this?” Shouted the demons.

“Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds,” he answered. Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow. Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days a week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles. Keep them from spending time with their children. As their family fragments, soon their home will offer no escape from the pressures of work! Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive. Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still small  voice.  Keep the VCR, TV, CD’s and their PC’s going constantly in their homes. Let them become busy at doing nothing! And see to it that every store, restaurant and  business everywhere plays non- biblical music constantly. This will preoccupy their minds with messages of the flesh and break that union with the Messiah. Fill the coffee table with magazines and newspapers. Pound their minds for 24 hours a day. Invade their driving moments with billboards. Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail-order catalogues, sweepstakes and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services, and false hopes. Make sexuality pervasive. Put sexy, beautiful models on the magazines so husbands will lust after external beauty, and they will become dissatisfied with their wives. Give them movies that portray a luxurious gaudy, lustful lifestyle that does not actually exist. Keep them too busy to go out in nature to reflect on Yahweh’s wonders. Give them thrills at amusement parks, sporting events, concerts and movies instead.

KEEP THEM BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!

And when they do meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip, envy, or self-righteousness, so that they leave with troubled consciences. This will restrict their conversations to shallow, vain, unimportant topics. Go ahead; let them be involved in soul winning. But crowd their lives with so many causes they have no time to seek power from the Messiah.

Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and families for the cause. They will lose sight in how important a human soul really is. IT WILL WORK, I TELL YOU IT WILL WORK!

It was quite a convention. And the evil demons went eagerly about their assignment of causing “Yahweh’s people” to be busy, busy, busy, and to rush here and there. The evil demons even stole the Yahweh ordained day of rest! ASK YOURSELF….Does this describe MY family? WHO is glorified by my lifestyle? Does Yahweh want my life to be DIFFERENT? Am I WILLING to do what it takes to change?

This story is so true. With time being so short, we really need to ask ourselves, “does my life glorify Yahweh?” How dedicated am I to my calling? We see many things going on in the world to show us how close the end is. But no scripture comes alive more than the following:

Daniel 12:4 “But you, o Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”

We definitely see that today. It is hard to imagine life without cars, airplanes, TVs,  computers  and electricity. But remember, for 5,900 years, since the creation of Adam there was no modern technology. Only in the last 100 years, and specifically the last 40 or 50 years, have things advanced so much. These advances are now bringing mankind’s own destruction. With greater knowledge comes greater evil. We are facing major problems; from global warming and the destroying of our ozone layer, and atmosphere, to food problems caused by genetic engineering of our plants and animals. Let’s not forget nuclear bombs  that can destroy every man, women, and child from off the face of the Earth. Mankind without Yahweh’s Holy Spirit is only inherently wicked. With every new invention comes more destruction.

Everything that Yahweh has created is good and mankind has destroyed it. It is to the point that, if Yahweh did not shorten the days in the end, mankind would destroy every last creature on this planet.

Mat 24:22 “And except those days should be shortened, their shall be no flesh saved. But for the elect’s sake, those days shall be shortened.”

1st Peter 4:17 “The time has come that judgment must begin at the house of Elohim. And if it first begin at us, what will be the end of them that obey not the good news of Yahweh?”

The end of those that do not obey is eternal separation from Yahweh! Salvation is free, but it is not cheap. We have to grasp this great gift that has been offered to us and cherish it with all our heart.

Mat 7:13-14 “Enter in at the straight gate; For wide is the gate and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many are there that go in. Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads into life, and FEW there be that find it.”

We need to judge ourselves, so we are not judged by Yahweh (1st Cor 11:31). If Satan has deceived the whole world (Rev 12:9), then it is time to come out of the world. Don’t be fooled any longer. Listen to what the saints are doing during the great tribulation period.

Rev 14:12 “Here is the patience of the saints. Here are they that KEEP (guard, protect) the COMMANDMENTS of Yahweh, and the faith of Yahshua.”

Faith without works is dead, and there are Ten Commandments not nine!

Jac 2:10 “For whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all of it.”

We need to obey every word from the mouth of Yahweh and not pick and choose the ones that fit our lifestyle. Time is running out fast and we cannot wait one more day to make this full commitment to Elohim—to love and obey.

What to do next?

There has been a lot of information given to you in this book. Many of the things that have been brought out to you, probably you have never heard before. It will take some time to let this entire  information sink in. But the next question is, “What are you are you going to do with all the information in this book that our Heavenly Father has blessed you with?

Although much of the evidence provided in this book has dogmatically shown the change of the true congregation that Yahshua started nearly 2,000 years ago  to  the corrupted pagan church of today, I’m sure many will still go on with their false pagan practices instead of changing to the Yahweh ordained festivals and worship, but that does not have to be you! If you look into the Bible, basically all throughout history the whole  of mankind  has been rebellious against our creator. Never has there been a time in the nearly 6,000 years of man’s existence that the vast majority of society obeyed Elohim.

Even in ancient Israel, as we have shown, the vast majority of the people never obeyed Yahweh and paid the penalty of Diaspora of over 2,500  hundred years. So it is  not surprising, that even after the concrete solid evidence that I have provided, that most will not want to rock the boat in their families and congregations by starting to obey Yahweh’s laws.

But as I stated above, that does not have to be you. If you look at the short quick breath of wind that passes, that we call life, you will see that this whole existence of man’s being on this earth is nothing more than a test. It is a test to see whether we will be obedient for eternity and if we can be trusted by our Heavenly Father to rule the universe as a King and a Priest to Him. I know to most that this short 70 to 80 years (if we are blessed to live that long) seems like an eternity. Most humans never want to look at their mortality.

Psalms 49:11 “Their inward thought is that their houses shall last forever, their dwelling-places to all generations; they call lands after their own names.”

Mankind has never wanted to deal with his mortality. He goes to school for 15 and even up to 20 years to learn a trade that probably will not be here when Yahshua’s kingdom comes. Our Heavenly Father has called us to a vocation that will last for eternity. He has called his chosen ones to help redeem the sons of mankind back to him.

If you look throughout the history of mankind you will see that in all generations it was only a small handful of people that truly followed the ways of our Heavenly Father, and that the vast majority of society went the way of the world or Satan’s way. The whole everlasting covenant of faith was because of the obedience of one man Abraham. In the days of the flood, Yahweh only found one man, Noah, to be righteous before him. Again, during the days of Sodom and Gomorrah Abraham pleaded with Yahweh to spare the city if he could find just 10 righteous in it and except for Lot, he found none.

Since the decision of Adam and Eve to go their own way, instead of totally trusting that every way of our Heavenly Father is perfect, Yahweh has allowed mankind to use his free will to make decisions in his life, and all this test is, that we call life, is to see if we will fight the trend of 99% of the world and still be obedient to him. Those are the ones that He can trust for eternity and make kings and priests in his kingdom. I am not saying that this will be easy. Just the opposite, it will be a life of trial and struggle.

2nd Timothy 3:12 “And, indeed, all desiring to live righteous in Yahshua Messiah will be persecuted.”

I am not here to sugar coat the persecutions that come to all true believers to purify our souls for our Master’s return. I am here, although, to give you encouragement that if you do choose this higher calling that you will not do it alone.

John 16:33 “I have spoken these things to you that you may have peace in Me. You will have distress in the world; but be encouraged, I have overcome the world.

When you make this full commitment to Yahweh and Yahshua and enter blood covenant with or Heavenly Father through the blood of his Son, no longer will you be fighting Satan and the world on your own, but now you will have the Almighty Creator fighting for you. You will have a covenant partner, that although he will allow you to suffer trial for your own purification, he will never leave you nor forsake you.

Isaiah 49:15 “Can a woman forget her suckling child, from pitying the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget yet I will surely not forget you.”

I can also honestly tell you that now, once you have a real one on one relationship with Yahweh through His son Yahshua, you will see miracles in your life and power from the Holy Spirit that you never thought possible. Once you start to step out in faith no matter what the consequences will be, than and only then, will you see the hand of the Almighty like never before. Your life will completely change from the commercial fabricated false worship in the corporate money grabbing business’s called churches to the one and only true congregation of Yahweh. The word translated “church” comes from the original Greek word “ecclesia” which actually means “called out ones.” It is not a building with a pagan steeple and it is not some corporate entity that filed papers at their local government office. It is the very people, or called out ones, of Yahshua himself.

When Yahshua originally called out his first disciples, they met in the synagogue until they were thrown out and then most congregations met in homes.

1st Cor 16:19 “The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in Almighty, with the assembly in their house.”

Over the last 7 years many people who have read this book have written to me and said they left their false worldly church and now feel alone. I want to give you encouragement that you are not alone. When my wife and I left America 10 years ago to go out into the mission field, we also felt this way. We live in Israel most of the year and travel to the scattered Brethren the other half, and when we started, we virtually had no money and very little support.

Over the last 10 years, Yahweh has blessed our feeble efforts that now we do outreach in over 30 countries and have a worldwide program called, “My Brother’s Keeper” for helping the suffering Brethren in Asia and Africa and other places around the globe. We have helped to start and nurture many new congregations over the last several years, and I have immersed (baptized) more than a 1,000 new brothers and sisters into the family of Yahweh.

Many of these congregations are either small local fellowships or home congregations just like the first century. The Bible is like a circle that repeats itself. Many of the prophecies of scripture have duel and sometimes even three fulfillments. Isn’t it wonderful to see our Heavenly Father calling his people back to the true scripture ordained fellowships just like the early believers?

We have also been blessed by Yahweh to host the three pilgrim feasts of Passover, Pentecost (Shavout Hebrew), and Tabernacles (Sukkot Hebrew) in the land of Israel. Once again in this end time Yahweh is putting a presence in Jerusalem. We also have been taking Brethren on a pilgrimage of the land of Israel at Tabernacles each year. It is one of the most wonderful experiences you will ever have in your life to see the land of our eternal inheritance. It will make the Bible come alive to you like never before.

If this book has been a blessing to you and you would  like to make this full covenant commitment to Yahweh and be immersed (baptized) into the one and only name in Heaven and earth where  all men can be saved (Yahshua), then please contact us and we will try to make arrangements for you to do so with a true Elder of Yahweh. Every day that passes after reading this book and not changing, brings your chances to true change slimmer and slimmer. It is important for true covenant people to fellowship with each other and to be able to encourage on another in our walk in the truth. No man is an island. It will be much easier for Satan to tempt you and for you to fall away from the truth if you are alone. We have made a lifelong commitment to serving Yahweh and his people and are here to help you any way we can. We can refer you to true spirit filled believers that are trying just as yourself to follow the truth. We know of many sister congregations all over the globe. Please check our website for listings in your local area.

I would like to end this book by sharing a story that happened to me recently in Jerusalem. It should make anyone with even a little common sense understand why we should still obey Yahweh’s law after conversion.

A man came to me for council, thinking that he had committed the unpardonable sin. He said that he willfully sinned after being a believer in Yahshua. He also said the he felt that he was going to the Lake of fire anyway, so why should he try to keep the Law of Torah of Yahweh?

This man’s dilemma is not much different than all human beings today. Although many lawless Christians accuse us of trying to earn our salvation, because we strive to obey Yahweh’s Torah, we understand this is not the case for true believers. In many respects we are no different than the young man who thought that he committed the unpardonable sin.

Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of Yahweh.”

All true believers realize that our works have only gotten us a death penalty, so no one that ever lived can go before the throne of Yahweh and ask for salvation through his works.

Romans 3:20 “Because by works of Law not one of all flesh will be justified before Him, for through Law is full knowledge of sin.”

The bottom line is on judgment day two things will happen; Either Yahweh’s mercy or justice will prevail. Either we will be granted entrance into his Kingdom through the grace and shed blood of his Son Yahshua, or we well get exactly what we deserve and be cast into the Lake of Fire. Both scenarios are completely just in the eyes of Yahweh, and it is his right as Creator of all to enact either scenario.

So why then would one keep the law of Yahweh? If we are saved already without the law, then why would we serve it, and if we are going to the Lake of Fire, what good would it do to keep the Torah in that case? The answer is actually the same in both cases. The law was never meant to be a salvational issue, it was only meant  to teach us the difference between right and wrong (Psalm 119:105). There is not a person on this planet who does not want to be happy, and the stark reality is that the  direct happiness of our lives totally depends on the daily decisions that we make each day. Whether we are talking about divorce, sexually transmitted diseases, unhappy job situations, or not being able to pay the rent, all of these are effects of poor decision making in our lives. The Torah or Law of Yahweh in the Bible is simply there to teach us right from wrong, and keep us from making so many poor decisions in our life that will only lead to our misery and unhappiness.

Psa 19:7 “The law of Yahweh is perfect, converting the soul. The Testimony of Yahweh is sure, making the simple wise.”

Psa 19:8 The precepts of Yahweh are right, rejoicing the heart. The commandments of Yahweh are pure, giving light to the eyes.

The Law is perfect, but we are not. As a matter of Fact, most people make decisions based on their own hearts.

Jer 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is desperately wicked; who can know it?”

So the bottom line is whether you are really saved, or don’t even believe in Yahweh, it is only wisdom in keeping the Torah.

Gal 3:12b “but the man who does them shall live by them.”

Keeping the law of Yahweh will only lead to a meaningful fulfilled happy life. It will protect you from divorce, sickness, bitterness, and all the other penalties that come from sin.

This is not religion, it is science. Easting pig will lead to heart disease. Eating highly toxic Foods, such as shell fish, will lead to hepatitis, and other diseases. Adultery and fornication will lead to sexually transmitted diseases. Even Proverbs fourteen tells us,

Proverbs 14:30 “A healthy heart is the life of the flesh, but envy is the rottenness of the bones.“

Hatred and bitterness will negatively affect your health and possibly put you at a higher rate for cancer. My friend’s father was told by his doctor, that his life was shortened by at least ten years because of a spirit of envy. Yahweh’s law is like gravity, it never fails, and if you break it, it is going to break you. That is why the Apostle Paul tells us,

Rom 7:12 So indeed the Law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.

The problem is not with the perfect law of Yahweh, but with the rebellious nature of man.

Pro 14:12 “There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end of it is the ways of death.”

The only reason an atheist does not want to believe in Yahweh is that he does not want any accountability to a higher authority. But as we have shown, there is no escaping the laws of nature that Yahweh put in force.

You will reap what you sow, so whether you are saved or not, it is only wisdom and toward the end of an individual’s happiness that he would keep the laws of Yahweh. A man I met this summer had similar thoughts, contemplating whether we need to keep Yahweh’s law or not. Then he told me that he asked himself a simple question. What would the world be like if all the earth kept just one of the Ten commandments? Let’s say,  “thou  shalt not steal.“  He thought and said, “There would never again be a kidnapped child. There would be no adultery, because someone would not steal someone else’s wife. There would be no tension in the world and wars over people taking someone else’s land. And there would be no locks on the doors, because you would not need them. Now does this sound like slavery or freedom?

There is a second reason though, that a true believer would keep the Torah. If the law is the perfect will of Yahweh, as we have seen, then we would want to do everything in that perfect will to keep our relationship with Yahweh pure. So now, we would keep the law by faith,

Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Yahweh.

Faith is simply, believing everything Yahweh said is true. We are not obeying Torah to be saved as the blood of Yahshua already saved us, but we are obeying the Torah by faith, as our father Abraham, did. Because we believe Yahweh when He says his word is PERFECT! For me to change even one letter of his word, would be showing it is not perfect, and making myself a creator besides him, breaking the first commandment.

Deut 5:7 “You shall have no other Elohim before Me.”

To say that the law is written on my heart, therefore I don’t have to keep it, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. It is like a sick man with pneumonia saying my  medicine is in the refrigerator, therefore I will get better by not taking it.

How can something be written on your heart and done away with at the same time? This is truly mocking Yahshua’s spirit of grace. He is clear. If you love him OBEY His commandments!

1st John 2:4 “The one saying, I have known Him, and not keeping His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in that one.”

This is plain that the ones claiming to be true followers of Yahshua’s, should do as we read in,

1st John 2:6 “The one claiming to rest in Him ought to walk himself as that One walked.”

All others are not walking in the light of scripture.

Isa 8:20 “To the Torah and to the Testimony! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is  because there is no light to them!”

BEWARE of  wolves  in sheep’s clothing!

Mat 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, Master, Master, will enter in to the kingdom of Heaven, but the ones who do the will of My Father in Heaven.”

Mat 7:22 “Many will say to Me in that day, Master, Master, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many works of power?“

Mat 7:23 “And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, those working LAWLESSNESS!”

The way we know the perfect will of Yahweh is through his word, the Torah and the New Testament; let us strive to be one with our Heavenly Father through the words that he has given us. Let us be as our Master Yahshua who did not pick and choose what laws He would obey, but said:

Mat 4:4 “But answering, He said, It has been written: ’Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word out of the mouth of Yahweh.

Rev 22:12-16 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each as his WORK is. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending. Blessed be those who do His Commandments that their authority will be over the tree of life, and by the gates they may enter in to the city. But outside are the dogs and the sorcerers, the fornicators, and murderers, and the idolaters and every one loving and making a lie. I, Yahshua, send My angel to testify, these things to you over the congregations. I am the root and offspring of David, the bright and morning star.”

Rom 2:13 “For not the hearers of the law are just before Yahweh, but the doers of the law shall be justified.”

1st John 2:3 “And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments (there are ten not nine). He who says he knows him and does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth (Do you love truth?) is not in him.”

1st John 5:3 “For this is the love of Yahweh, that we keep His commandments, and His commandments are not burdensome.”

John 14:15 “If you LOVE me, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.”

John 14:21 “He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that LOVES me. And he that loves me, shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him.”

Rom 3:31 “Do we then make the law void through FAITH/ Yahweh forbid, we ESTABLISH (make stand, firm) THE LAW.”

1st John 5:21 “Little children keep yourself from idolatry!”

Deut 10:12-13 “And now, Israel, what does Yahweh your Elohim require of you, but to fear Yahweh thy Elohim, to walk in all his ways, and to love him and to serve Yahweh your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul. To keep the commandments (10 not 9) and his statutes (holy days) which I command you this day FOR YOUR GOOD!”

Mal 4:4-5 “Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb; For all Israel, with the statutes and the judgments. Behold, I send you Elijah the prophet before the great and dreadful day of Yahweh.”(We are nearing that day; you need to heed the warning!)

Jos 1:8 “This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, and you shall meditate on it by day and by night, so that you shall be on your guard to do according to ALL that is written in it.”

Deuteronomy 7:9-11 “Know therefore that Yahweh thy Elohim, He is Elohim, the faithful Elohim, which keeps covenant and mercy with them that LOVE HIM and KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS TO A THOUSAND GENERATIONS. And repay them that hate Him to their face, to destroy them: He will not be slack, to him that hates him, he will repay him to his face. You shall therefore keep the commandments and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command you this day, to do them.”

Deuteronomy 11:1 “Therefore you shall love Yahweh thy Elohim and KEEP HIS CHARGE and HIS STATUTES and HIS JUDGMENTS, and HIS COMMANDMENTS, ALWAYS.”

Deuteronomy 11:27-28 “A BLESSING if you obey the COMMANDMENTS of Yahweh your Elohim, which I command you this day. And a CURSE, if you WILL NOT OBEY the COMMANDMENTS of Yahweh your Elohim, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods (pagan holi-days) which you have not known.”

Proverbs 3:1-2 “My son, do not forget My law, but let your HEART KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. For they shall add length of days, and long life and peace to you.”

Proverbs 7:1-2 “My son, keep My words and store up My commandments within you. Keep My commandments and live: and My law as the pupil of your eye.”

Psalm 118:8 “It is better to TRUST IN YAHWEH, then to put CONFIDENCE IN MAN!”

Psalm 111:7-10 “The works of His hands are truth and judgment: ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS are true, standing firm forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness. He sent redemption to His people: He commanded His COVENANT forever. Holy and awesome is His Name. The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom: ALL WHO PRACTICE HIS COMMANDMENTS HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING: His praise is standing forever.”

Hebrews 4:9 “THEREFORE REMAINS THE KEEPING OF THE SABBATH TO THE PEOPLE OF YAHWEH.”

Prov 28:9 “All those who turn away their ear from hearing the law, even their prayer will be an abomination.”

Exodus 31:18 “And He gave unto Moses, when He had made an end of speaking with him upon Mount Sinai, two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, WRITTEN BY THE FINGER OF YAHWEH!”

John 8:32 “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you FREE!”

Joshua 24: 15b “BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE YAHWEH!”

Can all these scriptures be wrong?

Malachi 3:6 “I AM YAHWEH, I CHANGE NOT!”

AMEN!
