To a nation that did not call My name, I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’ 2All day long I have held out My hands to an obstinate people who walk in the wrong path, who follow their own imaginations,… 6 And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love. Love the LORD your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.

You are my friends if you do what I command. “If you love me, keep my commands. 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man, the many will be made righteous.

  • Mystery Babylon | Answers 4 Saints

    Who is Mystery Babylon? The Fall of Babylon the Great 1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” 4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. 7 In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ 8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her. The World Mourns Babylon’s Fall 9“The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’ 11“And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more: 12merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13 and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men. 14 The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! 17 For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.’ Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like this great city?’ 19“They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour, she is made desolate.’ 20“Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God, has avenged you on her!” Finality of Babylon’s Fall 21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence, the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore. 22 The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. 23 The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.”

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him .Don't put your trust in human leaders; no human being can save you. When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment. Unanswerable questions Perhaps you may also want to present some or all of these questions to your favorite pastor or teacher. This is what your church teaches. The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him. Proverbs 18:17 Don't put your trust in human leaders; no human being can save you. When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, and all their plans die with them. Psalm 146:3 Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment, Hebrews 9:27 God is not a God of confusion but of peace.1 Corinthians 14:33 If the law of God has been made better, and the law of God is perfect (Psalm 19:7), is that saying that what is already defined as perfect can be made better? If we have been freed from the Law of God, and the Law of God is freedom (Psalm 119:44-45), is that saying that we can be freed from freedom? Can Truth be made not Truth? (Psalm 119:143;160) Page 2 of 4 Can the way of righteousness no longer be the way of righteousness? (Deuteronomy 4:8, Proverbs 2:20; Isaiah 51:7, 2 Peter 2:21; 2 Timothy 3:16) Can the Ways of God change in a different way? (Exodus 18:20; Deuteronomy 10:12; Josh 22:51; 1 King 2:3; Psalm 119:1; Proverbs 6:23; Is 2:3; Malachi 2:8; Mark 12:14; Acts 24:14) 6) If the Law of God is forever, and the law of God ended, is that saying that forever can end? Does that mean eternal life can end as well? (Leviticus 16:31; 1 Chronicles 16:15; Psalm 119:160; Isaiah 40:8) 7) Can what defines sin be nullified? Can sin be sin one day and not sin another day? Does the definition of sin change? (Numbers 15:22-31; Daniel 9:11; 1 John 3:4) 9) Can what is life no longer be life? (Job 33:30; Ps 36:9; Proverbs 6:23; Revelation 22:14) 10) If God is the Word, and God cannot change, then how can we suggest that the Word of God changed? (John 1:1; Malachi 3:6) If we are to delight in the Law of God, are we to no longer delight in it? (Psalm 1:2; 112:1; 119:16; 119:35; 119:47; 119:70; 119:77; 119:92; 119:174; Isaiah 58:13; Romans 7:22) (page 29) If when the Law was written down, we were told to walk in it (Deuteronomy 10:11-13), fully knowing that Christ walked that same law, and John said we are to walk exactly like He walked (1 John 2:5-6), while Paul said we are to follow Christ’s example (1 Corinthians 11:1), then would we not follow the same commandments that Christ walked? If Christ is the Word made flesh, and Christ is the Word of God (John 1:14; Revelation 19:13), and supposedly some of the Word of God is abolished, did He get on the cross to abolish parts of Himself? If the Law of God is all about loving God and loving others, is how to love God and love others subject to change? (Exodus 20:6; Deuteronomy 5:10; Deuteronomy 7:10; 11:13; 11:22; 30:16; 6:5; Leviticus 19:18; Nehemiah 1:5; Daniel 9:4; Matthew 22:35-37; 10:39; 16:25; Jo 14:15; 14:21; Romans 13:9; 1 John 5:2-3; 2 John 1:6) If the law of God has always intended to bless us and be good for us, then why would He take it away from us after the cross? (Deuteronomy 11:26-27; Psalm 112:1; 119:1-2; Psalm 128:1; Proverbs 8:32; Isaiah 56:2; Matthew 5:6; 5:10; Luke 11:28; James 1:25; 1 Peter 3:14; Revelation 22:14; Psalm 119) If the whole purpose of man is to keep the Lord’s commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13), then is this no longer true? Matthew 5:17-19 clearly teaches that no commandments are to pass away at least until Heaven and Earth pass and all of the Law and Prophets are fulfilled. In addition, believers that teach others that commandments have been passed away will be least in the kingdom of Heaven, but those who strive to keep all of God's law and teach others to do the same will be great in the Kingdom. Therefore, how can we be comfortable with teaching anything less than what Moses wrote and what Christ practiced and taught? When Christ commanded us to observe and do everything out of Moses' seat (Matthew 23:13), which is and has always been what Moses wrote, then why would we not want to do it, especially since he commands us to teach all nations everything he commanded, which of course would include everything taught from the seat of Moses. When Paul stated several times that he believes, practices, and teaches God's law (as written by Moses - Acts 21:20-26; 24:13-14; 25:8) and also that there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek in Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-14; Galatians 3:27-29; Colossians 3:10-12), how can we be comfortable using Paul's letters to teach that we are not to observe all of God's law? How can Paul be teaching God's law (as written by Moses) and teaching against God's law at the same time? What do we do with the fact that obeying what Moses wrote also means teaching Gentiles, aliens, and foreigners to Israel, to practice the same law of God in the faith? (Exodus 12:19; 12:38; 12:49; Leviticus 19:34; 24:22; Numbers 9:14; 15:15-16; 15:29). Also, Isaiah 42:6; 60:3; Matthew 5:14; Ephesians 2:10- 13; Acts 13:47; Rom 11:16-27; Jeremiah 31:31-34; Ezekiel 37; 1 John 2:10; 1 John 1:7) Meaning that there has never been any difference between Jews and Gentiles in the faith. Wouldn't all those times Paul was accused of not practicing and teaching the Law of Moses actually be true accusations instead of false accusations like Paul asserted and demonstrated? Why are there still accusations against Paul that He taught against the Law of God as written by Moses? Why is he still having to defend himself against such absurd claims even when the book of Acts testifies against it? When it appears that Paul is talking about the law, he is either talking about the oral law of the Jews or he is talking about the curse of the law that the Messiah nailed to the cross. When Scripture states in the NT that we are to keep God's commandments in our love back to Him (1 John 5:2-3) as a response to His grace or love for us (1 John 4:19), how can we conclude that we are to keep only some of God's commandments? Are commandments in Leviticus 23 or Leviticus 11 God’s commandments or not? In Isaiah 66:15-17, we see that in the context of the Lord’s return, that when He returns, He is clearly upset that people are eating pork. If He cares then, why would we assume that He does not care now? In Zechariah 14, when the Lord comes back to reign, we clearly see that everyone is expected to celebrate Tabernacles as written by Moses. Why would we be expected to celebrate Tabernacles before the cross, but not after the cross, but then celebrate it again when the Lord returns? If Christ is the Word made Flesh (Revelation 19:13), and He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), then how is the Word of God, not the same yesterday today and forever as Isaiah 40:8 says? And lastly, with the exception of the misunderstandings of Acts 10 and Acts 15, nearly all supposed support for the belief that the law of God changed stems from the reading of select snippets from Paul’s letters. Why do we mainly use Paul to support abolishing the Law of God when Peter clearly says that Paul’s letters are often used to make the error of lawlessness because Paul is hard to understand and many reading him are not knowledgeable enough about the Word of God but instead are ignorant and unstable (2 Peter 3:15-17). Paul is the very person that Peter warns us not to use to teach against the law of God. Why would anyone use him? These are just some of the top questions we have for anyone who believes that the Law of God has changed. There are many more that can be presented, but hopefully, that gets you thinking. 119 ministries

    you must be grafted into Israel to be saved. If you have been baptized in Yeshua’s name, have repented, received the Holy Spirit and are living like your Savior lived, you are automatically grafted into Israel; you are a spiritual Jew. (did you know Jesus is a Jew) He answered, "I was sent only to Grafted into Israel All Israel Shall Be Saved I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob. 27 And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”… In the context of Romans 11, where Paul uses the analogy of the olive tree, the cultivated olive tree primarily represents God's covenant people, Israel. Here's a breakdown of the symbolism: The Root: The root of the cultivated olive tree symbolizes the foundational promises and covenants God made with the patriarchs, particularly Abraham (Romans 11:18). It represents the rich spiritual heritage and the source of blessing from God. The Natural Branches: These represent the Jewish people, who are the natural descendants of Abraham and were the original recipients of God's covenant promises. The Wild Olive Branches (Gentiles): These represent the Gentiles (non-Jewish people) who, through faith in Christ, are grafted into this existing covenant relationship. The Nourishing Root: By being grafted in, the Gentiles share in the "nourishing root" of the cultivated olive tree, meaning they partake in the spiritual blessings, salvation, and relationship with God that flow from His covenant promises. Therefore, the olive tree in Romans 11 is not just any tree; it's a specific symbol of God's chosen people and the established covenant through which blessings flow. The grafting of the Gentiles into this tree illustrates how they become part of God's people and recipients of His grace through faith in Jesus Christ, despite not being natural descendants of Abraham. 1. The Equality of Faith (Romans 10:12) This is perhaps the most direct "no difference" statement in the Bible. "For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile —the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him." 2. The Unity in Christ (Galatians 3:28) This verse is often cited as the definitive statement on Christian equality across all social and ethnic boundaries. "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female , for you are all one in Christ Jesus." 3. The New Humanity (Colossians 3:11) Paul explains that in the "new self," traditional worldly divisions lose their significance. "Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all." 4. Equality in Sin and Grace (Romans 3:22–23) Paul uses the "no difference" argument to show that everyone starts on the same level playing field regarding the need for salvation. "This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Twelve Tribes of Israel This diagnostic test uses Paul’s agricultural analogy from Romans 11 to address the reality of identity. It forces the reader to confront whether they are truly drawing nourishment from the root of Israel, or simply trying to paste their own traditions onto a tree they don't fully respect. 📋 The "Grafted-In" Olive Tree Test Instructions: Answer these 4 simple questions to determine if your walk reflects a branch that has truly joined the native, covenant commonwealth of Israel, or if you are living like a severed, wild branch. Question 1: The Direction of the Graft In Romans 11:17, Paul states that some of the natural branches were broken off, and you—a wild olive shoot—were grafted in among them to share in the nourishing root. When you enter into salvation through the Messiah, what tree do you believe you are joining? A) You realize you are being joined directly to the historical, covenant commonwealth of Israel, meaning you must now draw your lifestyle and instructions from the same Hebrew root that sustains the tree. B) You believe you have joined a brand-new, Westernized "Gentile Church" that replaces Israel, allowing you to ignore the old root entirely and create your own customs. Question 2: The Attitude Toward the Root Paul gives a strict warning in Romans 11:18: "Do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: you do not support the root, but the root supports you." How do you view the foundational Torah, the Hebrew patriarchs, and the original instructions of the Father? A) You honor and submit to them, recognizing that the covenants, the laws, and the promises given to Israel are the very lifeblood that supports your faith today. B) You view the Old Testament, the Sabbaths, and the instructions of the Torah as an inferior, "done-away-with" system, boasting in a lawless grace that cuts you off from the historical root. Question 3: The True Nature of the Fruit When a wild branch is successfully grafted into a cultivated olive tree, it ceases to produce bitter, wild fruit; it begins to produce the cultivated, holy fruit of the native tree. What kind of fruit does your lifestyle display? A) Cultivated fruit. Your lifestyle, your diet, your rest days, and your moral boundaries align perfectly with the native instructions (Torah) of the tree. B) Wild fruit. You continue to produce the fruit of pagan-rooted holidays, cultural dietary choices, and human church traditions, falsely claiming the branch changes the tree rather than the tree changing the branch. Question 4: The Reality of the Pruning Shears In Romans 11:21, Paul warns: "For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you either." What is the standard by which a branch remains connected to the Master’s tree? A) A living, active faith that matches the obedience of Abraham and Yeshua, walking in continuous humility and keeping the Father's commands. B) A simple verbal profession or theological checklist, assuming that once you are "grafted in," you have a license to walk in lawlessness without any fear of being cut off The Mirror's Answer : Look closely at the branches you have evaluated. If the choices consistently land on B, the warning of Romans 11 is flashing red. A wild branch cannot survive by rejecting the root that carries it. True grafting requires a total surrender of our wild ways so we can produce the holy fruit of the commonwealth of Israel. These next verses are some that you may have not heard, you must be grafted into Israel to be saved. If you have been baptized in Yeshua’s name, have repented, received the Holy Spirit, and are living as your Savior lived, you are automatically grafted into Israel; you are a spiritual Jew. (did you know Jesus is a Jew) He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." Matthew 15:24 There are 100 verses about being grafted into Israel. The name "Israel" means "He that strives with God." Not striving with God in the sense of opposing God but rather in the sense of serving and assisting God. It was through Israel's twelve sons that the promise given to him, his father Isaac, and grandfather Abraham, began to take root. The twelve sons of Israel are: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Zebulon, Issachar, Dan, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Joseph, and Benjamin Deuteronomy 4:8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? Mark 1;15 Then Jesus said to the woman, "I was sent only to help God's lost sheep- -the people of Israel." Galatian 3:27 God says 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.… One in Christ 2: 11 Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19So then you are no longer strangers and aliens,d but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. 1Pet 2:10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; Ephesians 2:11 Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles (Christians) in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Yeshua you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.… You are a Citizen of Israel, required to keep all Yehovah instructions and laws. You are a spiritual Jew. Rom 11:23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. Romans 2:28 A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical. 29 No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men but from God. Romans 11:25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob. 27 And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.” … Revelations 21:12 The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, And twelve angels at the gates. Revelations 21:21 The twelve gates were made of pearls: each from a single pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as if it were transparent glass. As you just read, there are only 12 gates to the great city. The gate names are all Hebrew, the 12 sons of Israel. You must be grafted into Israel to enter. Luke 4:43 But he replied, "I must preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God in other towns, too, because that is why I was sent." Peter 2:9 But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. ● Deuteronomy 14:2 You have been set apart as holy to the Yehovah your Elohim, and he has chosen you from all the nations of the earth to be his own special treasure. ● Revelation 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: Come out of her, my people so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues. We must conform our minds to that of Christ Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is– his good, pleasing, and perfect will. Colossians 3:1-3 Since you were raised from the dead with Christ, aim at what is in heaven, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Think only about the things in heaven, not the things on earth. Your old sinful self has died, and your new life is kept with Christ in God . (Yehovah looks at two people groups His chosen people He calls Israel and everyone else He calls Gentiles the nations) Do not live for what people live for. 1 John 2:15-16 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him, because all that is in the world (the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the arrogance produced by material possessions) is not from the Father but is from the world. We were made new through Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Galatians 2:20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So, I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Imitate Christ Ephesians 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. The world will hate you. ● John 15:18-19 If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. 1 Peter 4:4 Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So, they slander you. Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. Yehovah All Israel Shall Be Saved I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob. 27 And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”… Twelve Tribes of Israel These next verses are some that you may have not heard, you must be grafted into Israel to be saved.

Galatian 3:27 God says 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.… Ephesians 2:18-19 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. 19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household; 1Pet 2:10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; Ephesians 2:11 Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles (Christians) in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Yeshua you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.… You are a Citizen of Israel, required to keep all Yehovah instructions and laws. You are a spiritual Jew. Rom 11:23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. Romans 2:28 A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical. 29 No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God. Romans 11:25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob. 27 And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.” … Revelations 21:12 The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, And twelve angels at the gates. Revelations 21:21 The twelve gates were made of pearls: each from a single pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as if it were transparent glass. As you just read, there are only 12 gates to the great city. The gate names are all Hebrew, the 12 sons of Israel. You must be grafted into Israel to enter. Luke 4:43 But he replied, "I must preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God in other towns, too, because that is why I was sent."" Peter 2:9 But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. ● Deuteronomy 14:2 You have been set apart as holy to the Yehovah your Elohim, and he has chosen you from all the nations of the earth to be his own special treasure. ● Revelation 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues. We must conform our minds to that of Christ Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is– his good, pleasing and perfect will. Colossians 3:1-3 Since you were raised from the dead with Christ, aim at what is in heaven, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Think only about the things in heaven, not the things on earth. Your old sinful self has died, and your new life is kept with Christ in God . (Yehovah looks at two people group His chosen people He calls Israel and everyone else He calls Gentiles the nations) Do not live for what people live for. 1 John 2:15-16 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him, because all that is in the world (the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the arrogance produced by material possessions) is not from the Father but is from the world. We were made new through Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Galatians 2:20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So, I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Imitate Christ Ephesians 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. The world will hate you. ● John 15:18-19 If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. 1 Peter 4:4 Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So, they slander you. Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. Yehovah All Israel Shall Be Saved I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob. 27 And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”…

    The one who belongs listens and responds to Yehovah's words. If you don't listen and respond, it is because you don't belong to Yehovah." John 8:47 True and False Conversations "True conversion." This conversion is the foundational, life-altering event where a person turns from a life of sin to a life of following Jesus Christ. It is marked by repentance, faith, and a submission to God's will. "take up your cross and follow me" is found in the Gospels of Matthew , Mark , and Luke . In Matthew 16:24, Jesus says, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me, Sin is treason to God True conversion is where an individual's life is fundamentally changed by the Holy Spirit. John 2:6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. James 1:2 But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. Christ came to free us from the curse of sin and death. Christ came to teach us how to live. Christ came to teach us how to love God and our fellow man A false conversion, conversely, is a profession of faith that lacks this authentic inner change, resulting in a life that doesn't align with Scripture says True Conversion A true conversion is seen as a supernatural work of God in a person's heart, leading to a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). Key characteristics include: Genuine Repentance: This involves a heartfelt sorrow for sin, a confession of it to God, and a decisive turning away from sinful practices and desires. It's a change of mind and direction, not just regret over consequences. Saving Faith: True conversion is marked by placing complete trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, recognizing His death and resurrection as the full payment for sins. Indwelling of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit takes residence in the believer, empowering them to live a new life, understand scripture, and grow spiritually. Love for God and Others : A genuine convert develops a growing love for God and a desire to obey His commandments, particularly the command to love one's neighbor. Desire for Holiness and Righteousness: While not perfect, a true Christian will have a new appetite for righteousness and a diminishing desire for worldly things. There's a clear trajectory of growth away from sin. Bearing Fruit: The transformed life produces "fruit of the Spirit" such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). This fruit is evidence of the inner change. Perseverance: True faith endures through trials, persecutions, and temptations. While struggles occur, the commitment to Christ remains. False Conversion A false conversion is a superficial or incomplete adoption of Christian beliefs or practices without the vital spiritual rebirth. It can be deceptive, both to the individual and to others. Signs of a false conversion often include: Lack of Deep Repentance: The individual may express regret for negative consequences or societal disapproval, but not for the sin itself as an offense against God. There's no fundamental turning away from a sinful lifestyle. Self-Serving Motivation: T he "conversion" may be motivated by external factors like seeking social acceptance, avoiding perceived punishment (like hell, often called "fire insurance"), gaining personal benefits (e.g., financial help, a spouse), or simply wanting an easier life, rather than a genuine desire for God. No Lasting Change in Behavior or Desire: Despite verbal profession, the person's character, habits, and fundamental desires remain largely unchanged, reflecting an ongoing love for the world and its ways (1 John 2:15-16). Lack of Spiritual Hunger: T here's little to no genuine desire for God's Word, prayer, fellowship with other believers, or spiritual growth. Religious activities become burdensome or merely performative. Falling Away Under Pressure: When faced with persecution, difficulty, or the allure of worldly temptations, a false convert often "falls away" because their faith has no deep roots (Matthew 13:20-21, the parable of the rocky soil). Absence of Godly Fruit: There is little to no evidence of the Holy Spirit's transforming work in their life. Any "good works" may stem from self-righteousness or a desire for human praise rather than genuine love for God and others. Spiritual Pride or Legalism: A false convert may exhibit an inflated sense of their own righteousness, judge others harshly, or focus on outward rule-keeping without an internal change of heart. The Bible warns that not everyone who professes faith will enter heaven (Matthew 7:21-23). The ultimate test of a genuine conversion is the long-term fruit produced in one's life, demonstrating an ongoing transformation by the Holy Spirit.

    God’s Promises to Those Who Keep His Commands God will reveal Himself to us. “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him” (John 14:21 ). God will dwell with us. “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him” (John 14:23 ). We will abide in God’s love and our joy will be full. “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full” (John 15:10–11 ). We will know that we know and love God. “And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. . . . Whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him” (I John 2:3 , 5 ). “If ye love me, keep my commandments ” (John 14:15 ). We will show love to God’s children. “By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments” (I John 5:2 ). We will be friends of Christ. “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” (John 15:14 ). Our prayers will be answered. “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight” (I John 3:22 ).

James 1:22 “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” Reflection: Engaging with the word of God is essential, but it must be coupled with action. Merely being a hearer of the word without implementing it leads to self-deception. True faith is demonstrated when we become doers of the word, actively living out God’s teachings in our daily lives. 1 Samuel 15:22 “To obey is better than sacrifice , and to hearken than the fat of rams.” Reflection: God values true obedience over ritualistic offerings. While sacrifices were significant under the law of Moses, they are meaningless without a heart inclined toward obedience.

The apostles, as witnesses of these things, modeled courageous faith and unwavering obedience. Their words remind us that true obedience sometimes requires standing against worldly systems for the sake of His name. 1 John 2:3 “And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.” Reflection: The gift of God—eternal life—was made possible through this ultimate act of obedience.

By obeying lawful authority, we reflect trust in God’s sovereignty and His governance over the nations of the earth. Our obedience honors the name of the Lord and brings good understanding. Hebrews 13:17 “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls.” Reflection: Spiritual leadership is a sacred trust, and obedience to godly leaders ensures accountability and care. The work of God within church leadership req uires cooperation and unity. This verse underscores the law blessing that comes through spiritual oversight. John 15:10 “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love.” Reflection: Obedience keeps us rooted in the love of God. R emaining in Christ’s love means honoring His commandments of the Lord, much like He obeyed the Father. This abiding relationship produces peace and helps believers bear fruit in their walk. 1 John 3:22 “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments , and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.” Reflection: Obedience opens the door to answered prayer .

This aligns with the perfect law that brings liberty and justice. 2 John 1:6 “And this is love, that we walk after his commandments.” Reflection: Love and obedience are inseparable in Scripture. Walking in obedience is the way of truth and a sign of fidelity to God. This verse ties the first commandment to daily life—love is action, rooted in God’s word. 2 Corinthians 10:5 “Bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” Reflection: Obedience starts in the mind, shaping how we live and act. As we align our thoughts with Christ, we participate in spiritual warfare against man’s disobedience. The renewing of your mind is essential for a transformed, obedient life. Psalm 119:115 “Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.” Reflection: Obedience may require separating from influences that hinder spiritual growth. Commitment to the commands of the Lord sometimes means choosing solitude with God over company that leads us astray. It’s a declaration of allegiance to the law of love of God. Jeremiah 7:23 “Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people.” Reflection: God’s covenant promise hinges on our obedience to the voice of the Lord. This intimate relationship, defined by loyalty and love, reveals the whole duty of man. Walking in obedience draws us into the heart of God’s plan. Romans 16:26 “Made known to all nations for the obedience of faith.” Reflection: The gospel is not just for belief but also for obedience of faith. Across the nations of the earth, God’s call to obey through faith bridges cultures and unites believers. It highlights the New Testament call to walk in step with His wil l. Hebrews 11:8 “By faith Abraham obeyed.” Reflection: Abraham’s story exemplifies how man’s obedience often precedes understanding. Trusting God’s promise, he followed without knowing the destination, modeling unwavering faith. Obedience and faith are the twin pillars of the Christian life. Proverbs 1:8 “Forsake not the law of thy mother.” Reflection: Mother’s teaching plays a critical role in spiritual formation. Honoring parental wisdom is part of God’s design for instruction and discipline. This obedience fosters a foundation of faithfulness, rooted in the holy Bible. Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” Reflection: The fear of the Lord and obedience summarize life’s ultimate purpose. The whole duty of man is wrapped up in living with reverence and aligning with God’s decrees. This verse is a powerful memory verse reminding believers of what matters most. Obedience is a call to all children of God. Our lives should reflect the standard of teaching found in the name of Christ. As servants of the Lord, let us obey the Father’s commandment even to the point of death, just as Christ did. Through the Greek word, Hebrew word, or even the English Standard Version, the message remains: Obedience is a good thing. .

  • Mark of the Beast | Answers 4 Saints

    The Mark of the Beast The one who practices, sin is lawlessness, separating themselves from God, and offending God by action or neglect or by tolerating wrongdoing—being unrestrained by His commands and His will 1John 3:4. acts of disobedience, indifference, or rebellion they show they belong to the devil and take his inner character and moral values from him, not God] 1 John 3:8 (666) Gods excape plan for His children Trubulation 1. The Warning for Those Who Take the Mark Revelation 14:9–11 (ESV) "And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, 'If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.'" 2. The Punishment of the Devil Revelation 20:10 (ESV) "And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever." 3. The Final Judgment of Both Revelation 20:15 (ESV) "And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." Summary The Scripture makes a direct link between the fate of the devil, the beast, and those who take the mark: all are cast into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the torment is described as eternal ("day and night forever and ever"). In Jesus' words elsewhere in Scripture, this destination is explicitly described as being prepared for the devil and his angels: Matthew 25:41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'" Christianity, the most lawless religion on earth You can be sure the False Prophet and the Man of Lawlessness will certainly come from the only religion that has promoted and pushed Lawlessness (not obeying God’s Laws) since the beginning. Keeping in mind that Christianity, the most lawless religion on earth since it actually forbids observing God’s Law, is over 30% of the world, so we got our first indication of what kind of percentage we might be looking at taking the mark. If you do the things God hates and refuse to keep His commandments and encourage others to do the same, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” NOT THE MARK OF GOD “YEHOVAH” The Mark of the Beast 16 And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark— the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666. The Messages of the Three Angels 6 Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. 7 And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.” 8 Another angel, a second, followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of the passions of her sexual immorality.” 9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.” Matthew 10:21-22 21 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. 22 You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. T his self-reflection test is designed to cut through the confusion and fear often surrounding this topic. In Scripture, the "marks" are not about hidden microchips or literal ink tattoos; they represent ownership, allegiance, and what rules your mind (the forehead) and your actions (the hand). Answer Yes or No honestly to each question to examine whose mark you bear in your daily life. The Allegiance & Identity Test The Ultimate Authority: When a choice comes down to following God’s explicit commandments versus following the crowd, the culture, or human convenience, do I choose God's way? The Mind (The Forehead): Is my mind primarily occupied with Scripture, truth, and how to honor God, rather than being consumed by the fears, anger, and philosophies of the world? The Actions (The Hand): Do the physical works of my hands—my labor, how I spend my money, and how I treat my family and neighbors—reflect God’s righteousness and justice? The Source of Security: In times of economic trouble or societal pressure, do I rely entirely on God to provide for and protect my household, rather than putting my ultimate trust in human systems? Open Allegiance: Am I willing to stand firmly for my faith and God's truth even if it means facing disapproval, loss, or being cut off by others? Worship in Truth: Is my worship rooted in an internal reality and a desire to keep His laws, rather than just an empty ritual or a standard routine to look good to others? Understanding the Biblical Meaning In the Bible, the concept of a "mark" is deeply symbolic of identity and ownership. It shows who has your allegiance. The Mark of God (The Seal) : In the Book of Revelation and Ezekiel, God places a seal or mark on the foreheads of those who belong to Him. This mirrors Deuteronomy 6:8, where God tells His people to bind His commandments as a sign on their hands and as frontlets between their eyes (their foreheads). It means your thoughts and your actions are dedicated to keeping His laws. The Mark of the Beast: This is the direct counterfeit. It represents a mind (forehead) and a lifestyle (hand) that has completely surrendered to the world's corrupt system, willful disobedience, and rebellion against God's commandments for the sake of survival, comfort, or fit-in convenience. "Bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." — Deuteronomy 6:8-9 "Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads." — Revelation 14:1 Reflecting on Your Answers If your life aims toward "Yes": Take heart. If you are actively striving to keep God’s commandments, relying on His Spirit, and trusting Him for your security, you bear the identity of a child of God. Perfect performance isn't the metric—the direction of your allegiance is. If you see areas of "No": It is a clear reminder of where the world or the flesh is trying to press you into its mold. If fear of the future or the pressure of the culture is driving your choices rather than God’s word, it is an invitation to draw a line in the sand. Repent, refuse to bow to worldly compromise, and commit your mind and hands fresh to the Lord today. 14 Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image to the beast that had been wounded by the sword and yet had lived. 15 The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship it to be killed. 16And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,… The Mark of the Beast seal is not a physical mark.The forehead represents the mind of those who make a consonance decision to disobeys God Commandments, and The mark on the hand represents worship on Sunday. forsaking Gods Sabbaath Saturday Something to think about Nebuchadnezzar's Dream Worship the beas t Daniel 3:9 They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “Long live the king! 10 You issued a decree requiring all the people to bow down and worship the gold statue when they hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and other musical instruments.the statue was made for a specific purpose. With it, the king would demand total obedience and humiliation from his governmental underlings. And Daniel warns the dream means that God's Kingdom is coming to crush all other kingdoms (Daniel 2:44). But Nebuchadnezzar ignores the warning and builds a 90-foot tall statue (or image) of himself. He demands that all his politicians bow down and worship his image (Daniel 3:1, 5). 4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him, there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. What Is the 'Mark of the Beast' and Who Has It? These 10 Biblical Clues Expose the Truth Dennis Lee The author has 794 answers and 1.4M answer views And the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him - Revelation 12:9 Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image to the beast that the sword had wounded and yet had lived. - Revelation 13:14 You can be sure if the whole world is deceived this will include Christians, Muslims, Jews, and Atheists alike. But what percentage takes the mark? It’s not hard to determine who will wield the mark if you eliminate doctrine and preconceived notions. The beast is that which “…will speak out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High, intending to change the appointed times and laws; and the saints will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time.” This change of appointed times and Laws happened in 364CE when the Law was changed and the 4Th Commandment was replaced, moving the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday in the Council of Laodicea. The “saints” were also mandated to be oppressed by canon law in the very same council and have been at the mercy of the Beast ever since, until 1948 . The Beast, none other than the Roman Empire that “destroyed the holy city and the sanctuary”, then suffers a mortal head wound, Caesar, but does not die. Instead, it is reborn the Holy Roman Empire with a Pope at its head. Certainly not all of them, but if my guess is close, it will be many. Christianity is the only religion that accepts a “man” to be “God”, Judaism and Islam will never accept a human claiming to be God. This is the very “Man of Lawlessness” that will sit in the holy place and declare himself God—something the Romans have always enjoyed doing to their rulers.

    Yehovah is saying my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. He is warning us that it our responsibility to give them warning from Him, about the coming wrath that is coming on this earth. Our Father repeated these few verses, He wants us to understand that He is serious. Heading 6 Watchman’s Message In the message in Hosea, Yehovah is saying my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. He is warning us that it is our responsibility to give them warning from Him, about the coming wrath that is coming on this earth. Our Father repeated these few verses, He wants us to understand that He is serious, and will hold us accountable if we don't warn them (“son of man" denotes mankind generally) Hebrew people, This diagnostic test is built on the warnings given to the prophets and the "son of man" (Ben Adam) regarding the role of a watchman. It directly contrasts the heavy responsibility of sounding the alarm about coming judgment with the comfortable, silent isolation that many modern believers prefer. 📋 The "Blood on Your Hands" Watchman Test Instructions: Evaluate your own habits, conversations, and daily priorities against the direct warnings of the prophets regarding the responsibility to sound the alarm. Question 1: The Duty of the Watchman In Ezekiel 33:6, Yehovah states: "But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned... his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand." When you see the world slipping into lawlessness and heading toward His wrath, what do you do? A) You actively open your mouth, wave the flag of truth, and warn people to repent and return to the Father's instructions, regardless of the social cost. B) You keep the truth to yourself to protect your reputation, staying silent so you don't offend anyone or cause friction in your relationships. Question 2: The Root of Destruction In Hosea 4:6, the Father warns: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children." How do you handle the true knowledge of God's Law? A) You study the Torah diligently, align your life with it, and actively pass that concrete scriptural knowledge down to your children and grandchildren. B) You accept a watered-down, emotional version of faith that ignores the Law, leaving the people around you in a state of spiritual ignorance. Question 3: The Accountability for the Wicked According to Ezekiel 3:18, if Yehovah says to a wicked person, "You shall surely die," and you give him no warning to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but his blood will be required from your hand. How seriously do you take this personal accountability? A) You realize that "son of man" applies to all of mankind, making it your direct, personal responsibility to warn people that a lifestyle of sin leads to judgment. B) You tell yourself that it is "none of your business," assuming that everyone's path is between them and God and that you aren't responsible for their ignorance. Question 4: The Sound of the Trumpet When the Biblical Feasts, the Sabbaths, and the clear lifestyle of Yeshua are ignored by the people around you, what kind of sound is your life making? A) A clear, unmistakable trumpet blast. Your lifestyle, diet, calendar, and speech are an obvious warning and an invitation for others to turn back to the covenant. B) An uncertain, muffled sound. You blend in so perfectly with modern cultural traditions that no one around you even realizes they are missing the critical knowledge needed to survive the coming wrath. The Bitter Truth: If the answers point toward silence and comfort (B), the mirror reveals a terrifying reality. To stay silent while a neighbor walks blindly toward judgment isn't "love" or "tolerance"—according to the prophets, it is a failure of the watchman's duty that leaves blood on the hands of the one who knew the truth but refused to speak it. Ezekiel 33:7 "Now as for you, son of man, I have appointed you a watchman for the house of Israel; so, you will hear a message from My mouth and give them warning from Me. 8 "When I say to the wicked, 'A wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require from your hand. 9 "But if you on your part warn a wicked man to turn from his way and he does not turn from his way, he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your life.… Ezekiel 3:17 "Son of man, I have appointed you a watchman to the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from My mouth, warn them from Me.18 "When I say to the wicked, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.… 2 Corinthians 5:11 Therefore, since we know what it means to fear God, we try to persuade men. What we are is clear to God, and I hope it is clear to your conscience as well. Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things. 1 John 2:27 But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don't need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true--it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ 1 PETER 3:1 But sanctify the Yehovah in your hearts and be ready always to give an answer to every man who asketh you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear. Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Mark 16:15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” John 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17 These things I command you, that you love one another. Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: Matthew 4:19 Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 They immediately left their nets and followed Him. Titus 2:1 But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: 2 that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; 3 the older women likewise, that they are reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— 2 Timothy 2:3 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Yeshua. 2 And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. I believe we gave you scripture you probably have never seen or heard before. The scripture is beyond a reasonable doubt. It's time to come out of the modern church. And start being obedient to Yehovah. You're not a Christian, but if you are led by the Spirit you are a citizen of Israel, required to keep all Yehovah instructions and laws. You are a spiritual Jew. Babylon is fallen. Revelations 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues. 5 For her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Give back to her as she has done to others; pay her back double for what she has done; mix her a double portion in her own cup.… Hebrews 10:26-27 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries

Luke 11:13 God gives His Spirit only to those who have demonstrated in attitude and behavior that they have repented. Then they must be baptized and obey His commandments.

And LORD YEHOVAH said to him: “Go through within the city, within Jerusalem, and make a mark on the forehead of the men who groan and are tormented because of all the abominations and the evils that are done within her” What is the seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit? The seal of the Holy Spirit is God's means of protecting the believer. The Holy Spirit is God's seal of protection over the believer's life. Under this sacred seal, no man, demon, or any other thing can wrest the Christian from the secure position he has in Christ Yeshua. The seal represents the certainty that we receive from the Holy Spirit. Despite what our emotions tell us, despite what the lies of the enemy tell us, and despite what our own human reasoning tells us, we know that we belong to God because of the Holy Spirit, the seal of the promise of salvation. “When you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit. he will guide you into all the truth, my life belongs to Him.” I must turn away from evil. Those who receive God's seal upon their foreheads are "God's commandment-keeping people." If you do the things God hates and refuse to keep His commandments and encourage others to do the same, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” NOT THE MARK OF GOD “YEHOVAH”

John 8:47 The phrase "salvation is by grace through faith, not by works, so that no one can boast" comes from the Bible (Ephesians 2:8-9) and emphasizes that salvation is a free gift from God received by faith, not earned through good deeds.
