    Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. 13 But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. We all will be judged ! The Heart-Hardening and Spiritual Idolater This diagnostic test is designed to expose the subtle, progressive stages of a hardening heart. In scripture, a hardened heart doesn't happen overnight—it begins with minor excuses, moves to casual neglect, and ends in open defiance of God’s commandments. 📋 The Heart-Hardening Diagnostic Test Instructions: Answer these 10 direct questions honestly to evaluate whether your heart is remaining soft and responsive to the Holy Spirit, or if it is actively calcifying into a state of disobedience. Question 1: The Reaction to New Truth When you are reading scripture or listening to the Word, and you discover a clear commandment of Yehovah that you have never kept before (such as His Seventh-Day Sabbath or His dietary boundaries): A) Your heart breaks in immediate repentance. You say, "I didn't know, but now I will change my life to obey." B) Your mind instantly goes on the defensive, looking for loop-holes, modern theological excuses, or reasons why that specific law "doesn't apply to you." Question 2: The Shift from Conviction to Comfort Think back to the first time you realized you were violating one of God’s explicit instructions. How has that feeling changed over time? A) The conviction remains sharp, heavy, and uncomfortable until you physically repent and align your actions with the Word. B) You used to feel bad about it, but now you can violate that commandment routinely without feeling any internal grief or checking your conscience. Question 3: The Seduction of the Crowd When faced with a choice between a direct command of God and a long-standing human tradition or family holiday that violates His Word: A) You stand firmly with the sword of truth, choosing to please God even if it causes painful division or awkwardness with your loved ones (Matthew 10:34). B) You choose to please the crowd, rationalizing that "God knows my heart" or "it’s just a harmless tradition," prioritizing human harmony over covenant fidelity. Question 4: The Handling of Reproof and Correction When a brother, sister, or scriptural passage directly confronts a specific sin or compromise in your daily walk: A) You humble yourself like David, examine the evidence against the infallible standard of the Word, and actively correct your path. B) You become irritated, dismiss the person as "legalistic" or "judgmental," and completely shut your ears to the correction. Question 5: Intellectual Understanding vs. Physical Application How do you measure your spiritual maturity and standing before the King? A) By your wholehearted application of the Word—ensuring that what you hear and understand translates into physical fruits of obedience (Matthew 12:33). B) By your intellectual knowledge. You pride yourself on knowing the Bible, studying theology, or debating scripture, while your actual lifestyle, diet, and calendar look just like the rest of the world. Question 6: The Standard of Grace When you think about the blood of Christ and the grace of the New Covenant, how does it affect your relationship with the Torah? A) You view grace as a clean slate that gives you the power to finally walk in total obedience, writing His law directly onto your responsive heart (Jeremiah 31:33). B) You view grace as a permanent safety net or a license, assuming that His mercy acts as a cover so you can disregard His statutes and judgments without consequences. Question 7: The Blindness to Ezekiel’s Wolves When you sit under a pastor or teacher who actively smooths over the Torah, ignores the Sabbaths, or tells you that God's laws are an obsolete burden: A) You recognize them as a blind guide doing violence to the Law (Ezekiel 22:26), and you run away from their lawless influence. B) You find comfort in their sermons because they tell your itching ears exactly what they want to hear, allowing you to stay securely asleep on the broad road. Question 8: The Desolate Places vs. Modern Comfort How much of your daily effort, energy, and financial focus is dedicated to building your own comfort within the modern system versus preparing for His Kingdom? A) You treat your life as a strict training ground, learning the agricultural, moral, and covenant laws of the King today so you are ready to be a true citizen of His restored land. B) You are fully invested in securing your own ease in Babylon, giving almost zero thought to the physical, literal restoration of Israel or the laws of His royal court. Question 9: Present-Tense Defiance Knowing that James 4:17 states, "To him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin," what is your current posture toward a truth you know you are ignoring? A) You are actively working to eliminate the compromise, bringing your home, your family routines, and your hands into subjection to the Master. B) You are currently and actively engaged in a calculated delay, deciding that the economic, social, or emotional cost of obeying right now is simply too high. Question 10: The Ultimate Warning of Amos's Sieve When you read about the sifting of the nations and the upcoming Great White Throne Judgment where the books of record will be opened: A) You tremble with holy reverence, daily begging the Father to search your hidden motives and purify you from the inside out (Hebrews 12:14). B) You read the warnings with a detached, cold perspective, presuming that your past verbal profession completely exempts you from the sifting process and the standard of the Spoken Word. The Heart Condition Verdict: Look squarely at your answers. If the choices consistently land on B, the scriptural diagnosis is flashing a severe warning: your heart is progressively hardening. Pharaoh didn't wake up with a heart of stone; he reached it by repeatedly hearing the command of Yehovah and choosing to delay, excuse, and defy it. How you live your life is the only real evidence of what you believe internally. If you are currently hiding behind excuses to avoid physical obedience, you are actively calcifying your heart against the Holy Spirit. Drop the defenses, turn your face back to the Torah, and yield your walk to the King while your heart can still feel the weight of His voice. 📋 Heart-Hardening Diagnostic Test: Part 2 Instructions: Continue evaluating your patterns, thoughts, and automatic reactions against the standard of the Spoken Word. Question 11: The "What About..." Diversion Technique When a clear commandment from the Torah is brought to your attention, what is your immediate mental reaction? A) You look directly at your own life and ask, "Am I doing this?" B) You immediately try to distract from your own disobedience by bringing up hypothetical scenarios or pointing fingers at others ("Well, what about people who live on a desert island?" or "What about that hyper-legalistic person who keeps the Sabbath but has no love?"). Question 12: The Language of the Tongue How do you speak about the structural laws, feast days, and statutes that Yehovah explicitly set up for His people? A) You view them with deep affection, agreeing with King David that His law is "sweeter than honey" (Psalm 19:10) and light to your path. B) You casually use words like "old," "obsolete," "bondage," "legalistic," or "done away with" when describing the very instructions the Father called holy, just, and good. Question 13: Compartmentalizing Your Walk How much of your life is actually subject to the authority of the Word of God? A) Every single department—your budget, your calendar, what you put into your mouth, how you dress, how you run your business, and how you speak to your family. B) You have boxed God into a "spiritual compartment" (prayer, church attendance, and reading devotionals), while leaving your physical habits, your business ethics, and your entertainment choices to be guided by the standards of the world. Question 14: Casual Exposure to Abominations When choosing what to watch, listen to, or tolerate in your home as entertainment: A) You protect your eyes and ears, refusing to look at things that celebrate lawlessness, witchcraft, sexual immorality, or mockery of the Creator. B) You can sit through movies or shows that openly flaunt what God calls an abomination, laughing at them or tuning them out, claiming "it’s just entertainment" or "it doesn't affect me." Question 15: The Definition of "Love" How do you define what it means to love God and love your neighbor? A) You define it exactly how the Bible does: "For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome" (1 John 5:3). B) You define love as a warm emotional feeling, a vibe of general tolerance, or being "nice," believing that as long as you feel love in your heart, you don't actually have to execute the specific, physical laws of behavior God laid down. Question 16: The Fear of Man vs. The Fear of Yehovah When an opportunity arises where keeping a commandment (like leaving work early for the Sabbath or refusing unclean food at a social event) will make you look "weird" or radical to your peers: A) You welcome the reproach of the Messiah, choosing to be a set-apart peculiar treasure rather than blend into Egypt. B) You compromise or hide your beliefs to avoid an awkward conversation, choosing the temporary praise and comfort of men over the approval of the Master. Question 17: Memory Trimming and Selective Amnesia When you read through the historical accounts of Israel in the wilderness, how do you process their failures? A) You take them as a terrifying personal warning, knowing that God destroyed an entire generation of believers because they refused to physically obey His voice (1 Corinthians 10:5-11). B) You skim past those parts or view them as distant history that has no bearing on you, assuming that your modern religious labels give you a pass from the same standard of accountability. Question 18: The Response to Personal Suffering or Hardship When trials, financial tightness, or unexpected health struggles hit your life, how does it impact your obedience? A) You draw closer to the Covenant, searching your life for any hidden compromise and anchoring yourself tighter to His commands. B) You become bitter, loosen your grip on His standards, or say, "I’ve been trying to follow God and look what happened—what’s the point?" using your pain as an excuse to break His laws. Question 19: Sneaking Around Your Conscience Do you ever find yourself playing technical games with God's instructions? A) You seek the full, heavy weight of the spirit of the Law, wanting to fulfill it to the absolute maximum of your ability. B) You look for ways to technically slide by on a technicality—doing just enough to "look" religious to others while your heart finds ways to indulge your flesh right up to the border of transgression. Question 20: The Grief over Lawlessness in the Land When you look at the collapsing morality, the broken families, and the general rebellion against God's natural order in modern culture: A) Your soul is vexed like righteous Lot, and you weep over the lawlessness, recognizing that the root cause is that humanity has forsaken the Torah of Yehovah. B) You have become completely numb to it. You complain about politics or the economy, but you don't connect the dots to see that the root of all human misery is the rejection of the Father’s explicit instructions. The Deep Diagnostic: A heart turns to stone one degree at a time. It happens when we value our reputation more than His righteousness, when we mistake an emotional vibe for true covenant love, and when we think our knowledge can substitute for our obedience. If these questions hit a nerve, don't ignore it. That stinging sensation is proof that the heart is still alive—repent, change direction, and walk out the truth today. Spiritual Idolater When you look at the concept of a spiritual idolater, it goes much deeper than the old-school picture of someone bowing down to a physical statue of wood, stone, or gold. In a biblical sense —especially looking at the teachings of the prophets, Yeshua, and Paul—idolatry is fundamentally a matter of the heart. It happens the exact moment anything inside our lives takes the seat of priority, trust, or devotion that belongs solely to God. As Paul writes in Colossians 3:5, “...and covetousness, which is idolatry.” He ties a condition of the heart (greed, wanting what isn't yours, or looking to material things for fulfillment) directly to worshiping a false god. The Core Traits of a Spiritual Idolater A spiritual idolater might look completely religious or upright on the outside, but their internal alignment is shifted. Here are the three main ways this plays out: 1. Misplaced Trust (The Security Idol) This is looking to anything other than God for ultimate security, safety, and future stability. What it looks like: Placing absolute, unwavering faith in a bank account, a political leader, a career, or a human institution to save or protect us. When those things become the source of our peace instead of the Creator, they have become functional idols. 2. Seeking Human Approval (The Pride Idol) This ties directly back to what we looked at in Romans 2:29—seeking the praise of people rather than the praise of God. What it looks like: Doing religious deeds, posting on social media, or adjusting our morals just to be seen, validated, and applauded by the culture or our peers. If the driving force of our life is "What do people think of me?" rather than "Where is my heart with the Father?", we are serving the idol of self and reputation. 3. Religious Legalism (The System Idol) Irony of ironies, you can actually turn the letter of the law or religious traditions into an idol. What it looks like: When a person falls in love with their own righteousness, their specific denomination, or their rigid checklist of rules rather than loving God and their neighbor. They trust in their ability to perform the rules perfectly to save themselves, completely bypassing a true, Spirit-led change of heart. The Heart as an "Idol Factory" The human heart is incredibly deceptive (Jeremiah 17:9). It has a natural habit of taking good things—like family, hard work, financial stability, or theological knowledge—and turning them into ultimate things. A good thing becomes an idol the second you decide you cannot live, feel secure, or be happy without it. The remedy for spiritual idolatry is always the same throughout scripture: a circumcised heart. It’s daily pulling down those internal altars to self-reliance or public approval, and anchoring our identity entirely on the root of the Olive Tree—seeking praise from God alone, where no human eye can see. The Core Traits of a Spiritual Idolater 1. Christmas The Original Date: December 25th was the Roman celebration of Sol Invictus (The Birthday of the Unconquered Sun) and the climax of Saturnalia (a wild winter festival honoring the god of agriculture). The Evergreens: Bringing pine trees, holly, and mistletoe indoors comes from ancient European winter customs used to ward off winter spirits and honor fertility. The Truth: Yeshua was likely born in the autumn during the Feast of Tabernacles, not in the dead of winter. 2. Easter The Name: "Easter" is derived directly from ancient fertility goddesses of the dawn and spring, such as Eostre (Anglo-Saxon) and Ishtar (Babylonian Queen of Heaven). The Rabbits & Eggs: Pure symbols of extreme fertility and the rebirth of nature used in ancient spring equinox celebrations. They have no connection to a Hebrew resurrection. The Truth: The Council of Nicaea (325 AD) intentionally severed the resurrection celebration from its true biblical anchor—Passover. 3. Halloween The Origin: Stemmed from Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest when people believed the boundary between the living and the dead was blurred. The Costumes: People wore masks and disguises to confuse or ward off wandering evil spirits. The Change: The Church later renamed it "All Hallows' Eve" to transition pagans into the church system. 4. Valentine's Day The Origin: Stemmed from Lupercalia, a wild, sexually charged Roman fertility festival held in mid-February. The Change: Pope Gelasius replaced the festival in the 5th century by dedicating February 14th to St. Valentine, turning an old fertility custom into a romantic holiday. 5. New Year's Day (January 1st) The Origin: Established by Julius Caesar in 46 BC to honor Janus, the two-faced Roman god of doors, gates, beginnings, and transitions. The Custom: The month of "January" is named after Janus (who looks forward into the new year and backward into the old). Romans celebrated by offering sacrifices to him, partying, and exchanging gifts. The Truth: According to the biblical calendar in Exodus 12:2, God establishes the first month of the year in the spring (Nisan/Abib), matching the rebirth of agricultural life rather than the dead of winter. 6. The Title "Pope" & "Pontiff" The Origin: Derived directly from the Roman imperial title Pontifex Maximus (meaning "Supreme Bridge-Builder"), which was the title held by the high priest of the pagan Roman College of Pontiffs. The Mix: Roman Emperors like Augustus and Constantine wore this title as the head of the pagan state religion. When the Roman Church gained political dominance, the Bishop of Rome adopted the title and the hierarchical supreme authority that went with it. The Truth: Yeshua explicitly commanded His followers not to seek lofty, hierarchical titles or call any religious leader on earth "Father" in a supreme spiritual sense (Matthew 23:9). 7. Sun-Day vs. The Sabbath The Origin: In ancient Babylon, Persia, and Rome, the first day of the week was dedicated to the worship of the Sun god (Mithra / Sol Invictus). The Change: In 321 AD, Emperor Constantine issued a strict imperial decree: "On the venerable Day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed." This officially shifted the official day of rest from the biblical Sabbath to Sunday to unify pagans and Christians under his rule. The Truth: God established the Seventh-day Sabbath (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset) at Creation as a perpetual sign of His covenant (Genesis 2:2-3, Exodus 31:16-17). 8. The Single "Senior Pastor" System The Origin: Derived from the "Monarchical Episcopate" of the late Roman Empire, where a single bishop ruled over a city just like a Roman governor. The Mix: Mainstream churches replaced the biblical model of a local team of co-equal elders (Zakenim) with a single, corporate CEO/Senior Pastor style of top-down leadership. The Truth: In the original first-century assemblies, leadership was always a shared plurality of local elders who kept each other accountable. No single man ruled the flock. 9. "The Pulpit" and Professional Oratory The Origin: Derived from the Roman Rostrum and Greek theater stages, where professional orators (Sophists) were paid to give slick, polished, one-way rhetorical speeches to a passive audience. The Mix: The church adopted the physical layout of an elevated platform (pulpit) facing rows of silent spectators, turning fellowship into a performance. The Truth: First-century gatherings were interactive, conversational, and participative (1 Corinthians 14:26). 10. The "Clergy vs. Laity" Split The Origin: Rooted in ancient pagan religious systems and formalized by Roman imperial law, which created a rigid class divide between holy, paid priests (Clergy) and ordinary common people (Laity). The Mix: Mainstream church culture conditioned believers to think that "the Pastor" or "the Ministry Staff" are the only ones qualified to do God's work, baptize, or teach. The Truth: Scripture teaches the priesthood of all believers (1 Peter 2:9). There is no spiritual hierarchy. 11. Cathedral Architecture & Holy Buildings The Origin: Modeled directly after the Roman Basilica—the grand, imperial public buildings used for Roman courts, politics, and pagan temple worship. The Mix: When Constantine legalized Christianity, the church moved out of houses and began building massive, ornate shrines, treating the physical building as "the House of God." The Truth: The New Testament explicitly states that God does not dwell in temples made with hands (Acts 17:24). The people are the temple. Most people have never heard of this verse… Matthew 24:12 Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. 13 But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.… James 1:12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. Yehovah defines love as keeping His commandments, all of them. He sent His Son to teach them to us and to live them as an example for us. Modern Christians are under the false assumption that the commandments are just for the Jews to follow. They seem to forget that their Jesus (Yeshua) is Jewish. Acts: 17:30 “God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him. John 14:15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. There seems to be an assumption that Yehovah will overlook all our indiscretions because “He knows my heart”, the problem is that He knows our heart and He calls them deceitful and sick. There are 12 verses about the wicked hearts. Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; Who can understand it? The next verses confirm no one can snatch us away from Yeshua’s hands, however we can turn our backs on Him and walk away. We demonstrate this when we stop keeping Yehovah’s commandments. 25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. 10: 27 My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand. Isaiah 1:17 Learn to do good; Seek justice, reprove the ruthless, defend the orphan plead for the widow. 18 "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson; they will be like wool. 19 "If you consent and obey, You will eat the best of the land; That the Race Is Not to The Swift or Strong but To Those Who Endure to The End There are about 90 verses on persevering to the end. Scripture is very clear, we must have an obedient heart and endure until the end to ensure salvation. All the remaining verses confirm we must endure, remain steadfast, fight the good fight until we can't fight anymore in order to be saved. 1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. Mark 13:13 And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. Hebrews 10:36 For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. 2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Philippians 1:6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Yeshua. Revelation 3:5 The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. Revelation 3:11 I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. 2 Timothy 2:12 If we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; Revelation 21:7 The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. Revelation 3:21 The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. Romans 2:7 To those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; Revelation 2:25-28 Only hold fast what you have until I come. The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father. And I will give him the morning stars. Revelation 3:12 The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. Hebrews 12:5-7 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.” It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? What is sin? video

    Peter’s words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, what should we do?”Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God and be baptized in the name of Yeshua for the forgiveness of your sins. then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Salvation False Savation Grace Repentance Can we lose your Salvation Hebrews 10:26-31 26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[a ] and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”[b ] 31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; What are the 16 steps to salvation? Hear the Gospel. (Matthew 4:17John 8:32) Believe the Gospel (Hebrews 11:6, John 20:31) Repent of past sins (Luke 13:3, Acts 17:30) Confess faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:10, Matthew 10:32) Be Baptized (Galatians 3:27, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38) Be faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10) For all who obey him eternal salvation Hebrews 5:9 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.1 John 2:6 But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. James 1:2 And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. Romans 8:1 We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.” Acts 5:32 “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.Romans 10:13-15 For But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. Matthew 19:16-26 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life…John 3:15,16 For we live by faith, not by sight. (Hebrews 11:6) And without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.2 Corinthians 5:7 And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.” John 3: Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”John 3:3 So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. James 2:17-23 Faith is Scripturally defined as: Faith is: believing that everything God said is true, committing to follow what it says, and then doing what the Word says. In other words, believing/trusting, committing to obey or do, and then the action of obeying/doing it. Another way we say it is that faith is believing, committing, and trusting in God and His Word. All of mankind is “under the law” (The law of sin and death) until they come into covenant through faith in the Messiah and receive salvation by grace through that faith. God’s Children through Faith 23 Before the way of faith in Christ was available to us, we were placed under guard by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak until the way of faith was revealed. 24 Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith. 25 And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian. 26 For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes’ 28There is no longer Jew or Gentile slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you. The way for us to be saved is to believe that we have sinned and deserve death because the Word says so. John 3:3 Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of Yehovah." Acts 2:38 Peter replied, "Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to Yehovah and be baptized in the name of Yeshua Messiah for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Proverbs 28:9 He that turned away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be an abomination. Ecclesiastes 12:13 That's the whole story. Here now is my conclusion: Fear Yehovah and obey His commands, for this is everyone's duty. Galatians 3:28 T here is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Yeshua. James 1:22 But don't just listen to Yehovah’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. “Then Yehovah said to me, shout the message! Don't hold back. Say to my people Israel: You've sinned! You've turned against Yehovah your Elohim. Isaiah 58:1 "When you tell them all this, do not expect them to listen. Shout out your warnings but do not expect them to respond. Say to them, ‘This is the nation whose people will not obey the Lord their God and who refuse to be taught. (Jeremiah 7:27) (This is a Child of the Devil) For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth. “John 4:24 Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Romans 12:1-2 Truth is God’s Torah You must be led by the Spirit Gal 5:18 This text brings the entire purpose of the Covenant into absolute, razor-sharp focus. It dismantles the false doctrine that "faith" is merely an emotional sentiment or a mental nod. Scripturally, faith is a three-part substance: Believing, Committing, and Doing. When Galatians speaks of being delivered from the "guardian" of the law, it means that before faith, we were prisoners locked in protective custody under the law of sin and death because we had no power to overcome the flesh. But through faith, we are born again, receive the Holy Spirit, and are finally given the supernatural capability to do what the Word says. 📋 The "Faith, Covenant, and Action" Summary Test Instructions: Answer these final 4 structural questions to see if your definition of faith aligns with the unchanging Word of Yehovah. Question 1: The Three-Part Definition of Faith Based on the scriptural definition provided, true biblical faith cannot be cut into pieces. It must include all three parts of the engine. How is your faith operating? A) Believing, Committing, and Doing. You believe everything God said is true, you have committed your life to follow it, and you are actively doing the physical requirements of His Word (the Torah). B) Mental Belief Only. You claim to "trust" or "believe" in Jesus, but your walk lacks the physical action of keeping His commandments, meaning you are only listening to the word and fooling yourself (James 1:22). Question 2: The Role of the Guardian (Galatians 3) Before the way of faith was revealed, humanity was locked under guard by the law because of our sin. Now that you have come into covenant through the Messiah, what is your relationship to the Father's instructions? A) Clothed in Christ to Walk in Truth. You are a child of God and an heir to Abraham (Galatians 3:29). Because you are led by the Spirit, you are no longer a condemned prisoner under the law of sin and death; instead, you present your body as a living sacrifice to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth (His Torah) (Romans 12:1-2). B) Living Carelessly Under the Guise of "Freedom." You use the phrase "no longer under the law" as an excuse to ignore the Father's statutes, missing the point that Christ came to deliver us from sin, not to give us permission to commit it. Question 3: The Abomination of the Closed Ear In Proverbs 28:9, the Sovereign issues a stark warning about the spiritual mechanics of prayer: "He that turned away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be an abomination." When you approach the Father in prayer, what is the state of your ear? A) Unstopped and Submissive. You open your ears to His written laws first, adjusting your lifestyle, food, and calendar to match His voice, so that your prayers are acceptable in His sight. B) Deaf to the Torah . You willfully plug your ears to the specific laws of the Old Testament, yet you expect God to hear, answer, and bless your prayers in a state of continuous disobedience. Question 4: The Watchman's Shout (Isaiah 58 & Jeremiah 7) The Father commanded His watchmen: "Shout the message! Don't hold back... Say to my people: You've sinned!" Yet He warned in Jeremiah that the people would not listen or respond. When the hard, straight truth of the Scriptures confronts your current lifestyle, which nation do you align with? A) The Repentant Remnant. You hear the warning, accept the correction, undergo the baptism of repentance (Acts 2:38), and recognize that your ultimate duty on this earth is to fear Yehovah and obey His commands (Ecclesiastes 12:13). B) The Nation That Refuses to Be Taught . You hear the shout of the warning, but you harden your neck, refuse to respond, and continue following human traditions, matching the exact description of the children of disobedience. 🛑 The Final Diagnostic Verdict Scripture leaves zero room for neutrality. "For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24) If your lifestyle consistently hits the B markers, the diagnosis is absolute: you are operating in a counterfeit faith that the Bible defines as dead. A faith that refuses to submit to the Torah is a faith that has never been born again. The sifting is complete, the standard has been laid down, and the tests are done. Do not fool yourself any longer with empty words or the smooth traditions of men. Let the seed of the Word take root in good soil, present your body as a living sacrifice, and start physically doing what the King commanded while there is still time to cross the border into His Kingdom! Believe without obedience What is God's definition of a Christian? Rev 22:14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. What is Yeshua definition of a Christian Matthew 19:17“Why ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. But to answer your question—if you want to receive eternal life, keep the commandments.” 1 John 2: 3 And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. 4 If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. 5 But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. 6 Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did. Heb 5:9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, ESV And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him .” Acts 5:32 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Why did Jesus have to die for you? If you don't know why Christ had to die for you, What is sin? 4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness you are not saved and never converted. What are the end results of being let by the Spirit? It is obedience to the law of God Revelation 12:17 7 And the dragon was wroth with the woman and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keeps the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Children of God …7 Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous. 8 The one who practices sin is of the devil because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.… If ye love me, keep my commandments.

  • Sacrifrice will resumes | Answers 4 Saints

    SAcrifice will resume WILL HUMANITY SURVIVE? We are living in humanity’s grand experiment in governing itself without God. Can the 193 United Nations member states ever find the way to world peace? History should make the answer plain! The twentieth century brought two world wars responsible for the deaths of tens of millions and violent tyrannies that killed millions of innocent civilians. It brought humanity to the brink of nuclear self-annihilation. Even today, biological, chemical, nuclear, and other threats keep our planet on the brink of disaster and destruction. So, will planet Earth survive at all? Is there any hope for world peace? Many do not know that the Bible predicts specific events leading up to the end of this age. We read, “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened” (Matthew 24:21–22 ). But who will shorten those days to save us? Your Bible reveals that Christ will return to this earth to prevent total cosmocide. Danger is ahead, but Scripture also shares the awesome good news of a coming world government under the King of kings. Until He comes, what should we do? Many try to “live for today” and enjoy all they can, avoiding the sobering reality of what is to come. But Christ wants us to be different. He admonishes us to “take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man” (Luke 21:34–36 ). This article will examine seven trends or signs for which we should be watching. As we watch, we will know that we are approaching that wonderful day when Jesus Christ will return and the seventh trumpet will sound. “Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ‘The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!’” (Revelation 11:15 ). Will you be ready to meet Him when He comes? You will, if you follow His commands as you prepare. So, look for these seven signs! 1. GROWING DANGER OF NUCLEAR WAR Despite many treaties meant to control the proliferation of nuclear weapons, experts are worried. One agency reports that, since 2016, “there has been significant backsliding on the standards related to arms control and risk reduction” (“Assessing Progress on Nuclear Nonproliferation and Disarmament,” Arms Control Association, July 2019, p. v). In addition to the known nuclear nations—Russia, the United States, France, China, the United Kingdom, Israel, India, Pakistan, and North Korea—the report looked at Iran and Syria, where biological and other forms of deadly weaponry are also being researched, and found “evidence that Iran, North Korea, and Syria all engaged in illicit trafficking of dual-use [weapon and non-weapon] materials and technologies” (p. vi). Will Russia detonate one of its estimated 6,850 nuclear weapons in a coming war? Will the United States detonate one of its 6,550? We should remember that mankind’s pattern is not to let technology sit unused. Last January, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists reminded us of this danger: “The current situation—in which intersecting nuclear, climate, and information warfare threats all go insufficiently recognized and addressed, when they are not simply ignored or denied—is unsustainable. The longer world leaders and citizens carelessly inhabit this new and abnormal reality, the more likely the world is to experience a catastrophe of historic proportions.” The Bulletin called our present situation “a new abnormal” (“A new abnormal: It is still 2 minutes to midnight,” Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 2019). Sadly, your Bible confirms that humanity is not finished with war. Scripture foretells World War III, when a huge army will move west across the Euphrates River. Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths (Revelation 9:16–18 ). As shocking as it may seem, one-third of all human beings will die in a future world war! Watch for the development of nuclear capabilities on the world scene. 2. EARTHQUAKES AND OTHER NATURAL DISASTERS As we saw above, floods and fires continue to ravage our planet and seem to be increasing. Consider the following comments by this magazine’s Editor in Chief, Evangelist Gerald E. Weston, in his eye-opening booklet Acts of God: Why Natural Disasters? : Hawaii is a very popular tourist destination, as are the islands of the South Pacific. These beautiful volcanic islands are the stuff of songs and musicals. But as we know, volcanoes can be very dangerous to anyone living too close to them. Thousands of people perished in Pompeii and the surrounding area when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. Fifty-seven people died when Mount St. Helens erupted May 18, 1980…. There were warning signs of a catastrophe in the making, just as there had been before Mt. Vesuvius erupted. The north side of St. Helens bulged some 300 feet and was growing five to six feet a day. Warnings to evacuate the area were given, but as is often the case, people do not heed such warnings: “A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself; the simple pass on and are punished” (Proverbs 27:12 ). As we saw earlier, natural disasters cause both human and financial devastation. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported in late 2019 that since 1980, the U.S. had suffered over $1.7 trillion in financial losses as a result of 254 major weather events that each cost the nation more than $1 billion. Last year was the fifth consecutive year in which the U.S. suffered ten or more separate billion-dollar disaster events (“Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters: Overview,” NCDC.NOAA.gov, October 8, 2019). Altogether, natural disasters conservatively cost the United States $91 billion in 2018, according to the NOAA, while several insurance companies such as Munich Re present even higher estimates. And these figures are just for U.S. losses. One single event in 2011—the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that damaged Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant—has been tied to more than 20,000 deaths and $360 billion in economic damage. This compares to “just” $250 billion in damage and additional economic impact in the U.S. from Hurricane Katrina in 2005. We could go on listing these events and lamenting the suffering they cause, yet your Bible reveals that today’s worst disasters pale in comparison to what will happen before Christ returns at the end of this age. The book of Revelation explains: “And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth” (16:18). Scripture reveals that terrible times are ahead, before Christ’s return . “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:7–8 ). Of course, preparing for the occasional emergency or natural disaster is prudent. But while “doomsday preppers” stockpile vast amounts of food, water, and resources, the only preparation that will ultimately protect you from what is coming on the whole world is to stay close to your Savior and do what He tells you to do! 3. A UNITED EUROPE SEEKS GLOBAL PRIMACY The European Union has experienced the challenge of “Brexit”—the controversy surrounding British voters’ choice to leave the European Union and the consequences of that vote. The EU is also struggling with problems caused by massive flows of refugees and other immigrants, some of whom bring to their new countries the very different values of the countries they left behind. Smaller and weaker EU nations chafe as Germany strives to exert a leadership role proportionate to its economic strength, while all are left unnerved by the uncertain nature of the United States’ commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Many perceive that only a strong and charismatic power can bring unity to the struggling EU. In fact, your Bible prophesies that such a leader is coming, symbolized as a beast with seven heads and ten horns. God reveals the meaning of this symbol: “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast” (Revelation 17:12–13 ). Ten kings or kingdoms will support this charismatic leader, producing a powerful, unified force. Currently, the European Union is not so unified, but watch for international events that will spur a future combination of nations in Europe to fulfill a final revival of the historic Roman Empire, which will dominate the world politically and militarily. Notice the description of its power: “And all the world marveled and followed the beast… and they worshiped the beast, saying, ‘Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?’” (Revelation 13:3–4 ). The world power structure will change dramatically over the coming years. Watch developments in Europe as an ascendant European Union seeks and ultimately achieves global primacy. 4. A POWERFUL LEADER UNITES BILLIONS IN A RELIGIOUS REVIVAL We’ve seen the prophecy that a great superpower will ascend on the world scene, but notice that there’s another world figure also described as a beast. This symbolic beast has two horns like a lamb. Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived (Revelation 13:11–14 ). Jesus Christ is called the Lamb of God. By contrast, this religious imposter will appear Christian while speaking like a dragon. You need to watch for an internationally respected religious figure who will influence a European political and military superpower. You must not let him deceive you, though his miracle-working deceptions will cause billions to follow him and his false religion. Notice: “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders” (2 Thessalonians 2:9 ). One of the false prophet’s lying wonders will be to call down fire from heaven, as we saw in Revelation 13:13 . The Apostle Paul emphasizes that this false prophet will be a servant of Satan, not of God, and will be judged at the coming of the King of kings, Jesus Christ: “And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming” (2 Thessalonians 2:8 ). Watch religious trends in Europe, where a great religious revival will draw billions to a false and lawless religion. 5. THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION Jesus gave us a vital warning sign: “‘Therefore when you see the “abomination of desolation,” spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place’ (whoever reads, let him understand), ‘then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains’” (Matthew 24:15–16 ). If you’ve read the books of Daniel and Matthew in your Bible, you may have been puzzled by the mysterious “abomination of desolation.” What is it, and what does it mean in end-time prophecy? Clearly, this is an important sign to understand. It signals when God’s people are to flee and escape the final three-and-a-half-year sequence of end-time prophetic devastations. Historically, the Greek ruler Antiochus Epiphanes issued a decree in 167 BC that prohibited the Jews from making temple sacrifices. We read, “And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation” (Daniel 11:31 ). Antiochus not only stopped the daily sacrifices, but also erected in the temple a statue of Jupiter Olympus and directed everyone to worship it. This event, also described in Daniel 8, prefigured a prophesied end-time milestone. “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days” (Daniel 12:11 ). Yes, 1,290 days before Jesus Christ’s Second Coming, animal sacrifices will again be stopped! Jesus warns Christians to be alert to an end-time abomination of desolation! Just as Antiochus Epiphanes profaned the Temple and cut off the sacrifices in 167 BC, so will a profane authority cut off Jewish sacrifices in the future! You need to watch for developments in Israel that will lead to the restoration of animal sacrifices by religious Jews, and for developments leading to an international treaty allowing these sacrifices. 6. THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD PREACHED TO ALL NATIONS Jesus gave this sign signifying the end of man’s failed attempts to produce world peace: “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:14 ). You’ve been reading that Gospel in this magazine, which proclaims tomorrow’s world and the Kingdom of God on Earth. Yes, the world-ruling Kingdom of God will bring peace and prosperity to all nations of the earth. It will be ruled by the King of kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ. In fact, Jesus came preaching that Gospel or good news: “Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel’” (Mark 1:14–15 ). The prophet Isaiah reveals an inspiring promise of the Messiah’s world-ruling kingdom of peace: “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this” (Isaiah 9:6–7 ). Today’s world of conflicts, oppression, and wars will be replaced by the Kingdom of God—the government of God. “Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ‘The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever’” (Revelation 11:15 ). 7. HEAVENLY SIGNS AND THE DAY OF THE LORD Many who watch world news and study Bible prophecy know that a cosmic disturbance in the heavens will shock everyone on earth. Some Bibles include a header above Revelation 6:12 , calling attention to this disturbance: “Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances”—but what does that refer to? Does it mean the recent “blood moon” lunar eclipses that captured so much attention? We read the following: I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” (vv. 12–17). So-called “blood moon” eclipses certainly remind us of this prophesied event, but the real thing will be far, far more impressive—even terrifying—and will not be explainable by the positions of the Earth, Sun, and Moon. These prophesied cosmic disturbances will herald the Day of the Lord, the “great day of His [Christ’s] wrath.” Through Scripture, God warns us in advance of future judgments. The Moon will be turned to the color of blood and the Sun will become dark. Thousands of meteors will light up the sky. Yes, judgment is coming on all nations of planet Earth. How can you escape the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord? Our Savior admonishes us to “take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man” (Luke 21:34–36 ). WATCH AND PREPARE FOR CHRIST’S RETURN! Some preachers misleadingly teach that we cannot understand prophecy and that Jesus Christ may return at any moment. On the contrary, as we have seen from the Bible, and as you can know from other Tomorrow’s World publications, there is a specific prophetic framework in which you can have confidence. But what about you, personally? You may die at any time and wake up to the resurrection of the saints, or to a resurrection of judgment. You cannot afford to delay in responding to your Savior! We look forward to the return of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, to rule all nations and establish the Kingdom of God on Earth for a thousand years. What is your greatest goal? Your Bible gives us the most important and vital goal we could ever set: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33 ). Watch for these seven signs of Christ’s return, prepare, and pray, “Your kingdom come” (Matthew 6:10 ). For more on this subject, order our free booklet, “Fourteen Signs Announcing Christ’s Return.”

  • 8 | Answers 4 Saints The Journey

    I am a wretched sinner and deserve the Second death, however, if Yehovah would choose to spare my soul I would give it gladly to save yours. The choice is yours to continue to follow the church, the man or scripture, the inspired word of Yehovah, which leads to life. Or follow man which leads to dea My Journey About nineteen years ago, while attending a men's Bible study, one of the regulars told me something that shocked me: he said I wasn’t a Christian. At the time, I was offended and insulted! I had no idea what he meant. Yet, without realizing it, he ended up giving me the greatest gift anyone could ever give another person. I believe God was using that moment to tell me I was heading in the wrong direction. I was relying on myself instead of Him, and relying on men to teach me instead of His Word and His Spirit. I realized I needed to unlearn man-made church doctrines and challenge everything I’d been taught that didn't align with scriptural truth. That very night, I had a life-altering dream about the rapture. People all around me were rising to meet the Savior, but I was being left behind. Waking up shaken, I began repenting of every sin I could think of. I got on my knees and surrendered my life completely to God, promising to be obedient to His every word without question. That decision changed everything. The Bible opened up to me like never before, and I realized that much of what I had been taught did not match up with Scripture. When I began sharing my excitement about God's truth, I quickly found that few people wanted to hear it. But since 2008, I have been on a quest to seek and obey only God’s truth to the best of my ability. In the pages and videos that follow, I will share the scripture verses that changed my life beyond a shadow of a doubt so you can decide for yourself. These are God’s own words, and rejecting them has eternal consequences. As Yeshua warned in Matthew 15:9, "Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God." This book and video are my gift to you. The teachings of modern church doctrine often contradict the Word of God, but Scripture warns us: "You must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak" (Matthew 12:36), and "Everyone must die once, and after that be judged" (Hebrews 9:27). The accompanying video explores the Hebrew roots of our faith, highlighting individuals whom God called out of the modern church to seek His truth. Our Savior is a Hebrew Jew whose true name is Yeshua ("salvation"), sent by His Father, Yehovah. Scripture was written with a Hebraic mindset, and God gave us His instructions—the Torah—for His children to follow. Remember, "It is a sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it" (James 4:17). I know that I am a sinner who deserves eternal separation from God. Yet, if Yehovah would spare my soul, I would gladly give my life to help save yours. The choice is yours: follow the traditions of man, which lead to death, or follow the inspired Word of Yehovah, which leads to life.

    12 Tribes of Israel Are you a Christian ?? What did Jesus do Are you a Real Christian Counterfit Christian Churches Who Teach Us to Keep Sunday Admit It’s NOT the Sabbath of the Bible Follow your own heart NOT Spiritual Blindness The spiritually blind hear the truth, but they cannot see what it means. They cannot see the “big picture” of salvation, and they are unable to see how it applies to their own life. They have trouble confessing the truth because they have difficulty believing what they cannot see. John 3:13. ESV No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. NIV No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. Profile of a fake Christian The Christianity of the new testament doesn't exist Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test? 2 Corinthians 13:5 The Messiah is the only person in history who never sinned. He showed us how to love God and our neighbor by walking out the Torah perfectly—keeping the Sabbath, eating clean, and honoring the Appointed Days. He explicitly commanded us to walk exactly as He walked. When a person claims to be a Christian and a follower yet lives in total opposition to His steps, they are betraying Him—pretending to be His friend while actively working against His commandments. 1 John 2:6 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. John 14:15 If anyone says, “I know Him, but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 2:4 Teaching against obedience to God’s commandments is a betrayal of His Word because it directly undermines His authority in four ways: It Erases the Definition of Sin: Scripture explicitly defines sin as "the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). If you throw out the Law, you destroy the only boundary that defines right from wrong. It Defies Yeshua’s Direct Warning: The Messiah specifically warned that anyone who breaks the commandments and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom (Matthew 5:19). It Replaces Divine Truth with Human Tradition: Bypassing God's Feasts, dietary laws, and Sabbath always leads to a common substitution—making the Word of God "of none effect" through human traditions (Mark 7:13). It Separates Faith from True Loyalty: Scripture states, "This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments" (1 John 5:3). Teaching against obedience strips believers of the concrete actions required to show true covenant loyalty. The Bottom Line: Telling people they are free to ignore the Father's instructions mimics the very first deception in the Garden: "Yea, hath God said...?" It doesn't just misinterpret Scripture; it actively trains people to live in comfortable transgression. Christianity, the most lawless religion on earth People cant separate their emotions from the truth What makes 90% of Christians Christians they say they are Israel Sin is the transgression of all God's Laws But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. you will not practice sinning. The creator's name is Yehovah His name means He saves He calls many but chooses few He has a son His name is Yeshua His name means salvation All salvation has to go through him Anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remain under God's angry judgment 1 John 2:6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. Last but not least is The Holy Spirit God gives only to those who obey them. Having the Holy Spirit in us is our prof we are saved. God called His chosen Israel consisting of twelve of Israel In His kingdom there are only 12 gates with the names of the 12 tribes no other ways into the kingdom.

When you received Christ, the Holy Spirit came and began living inside you. Walking in the flesh instead of the Spirit can be a tell-tale sign of something fishy (Galatians 5:16-18) . We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”Acts 5:32 2. Do they have a new nature? When you are born again, you become a new creation with new desires, a new mind, and a new heart. If there isn’t evidence of any of these then, “Houston, we’ve got a problem!” 3. Do they have Christ’s agape love for others? By this, all will know that you are my disciples if you have a love for one another. John 13:35 The Bottom Line: No love, no Christ, yes love, yes Christ… 4. Do they obey God’s Commandments? Now by this, we know that we know Him if we keep His commandments. -1 John 2:3 Christians Can and will stop practicing sinning because they have the Holy Spirit inside them. 5. Is their fruit in their life? The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22- 23 ). True Christians will have these spiritual fruits in their lives. 6. Are they becoming more like Jesus? The true markings of a Christian is that he or she is becoming like their Master. If someone isn’t becoming more like Jesus, then chances are they are not a follower of Jesus. 7. Have they put their trust in Jesus for their salvation? Ask someone one of these questions to see who or what they are trusting in for their salvation. If it ain’t Yeshua, then they ain’t saved. Beware, there are many fake Christians 1. Matthew 15:8 These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 2. Isaiah 29:13 And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote. the process of learning something by repetition, rather than by really understanding it: 3. James 1:26 If a person thinks that he is religious but can’t control his tongue, he is fooling himself. That person’s religion is worthless. 4 1 John 2:9 Those who say that they are in the light but hate other believers are still in the dark. 5. Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but they deny him by what they do. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit to do anything good. Bible verses about fake Christians Sadly many false believers will be expecting to go to Heaven and will be denied entrance. The best way to avoid being one is to make sure you have truly put your trust in Christ alone for salvation. When you have repented and put your faith in Christ that will lead to a change of life. Follow God and educate yourself with his Word. Many people follow false teachings from the Bible given by false preachers or they just refuse to obey instructions from God and follow their own minds. There are many people who throw on the Christian name tag and think by just going to church they will be granted Heaven , which is false. You know there are people like that in your church and especially in the youth today. You know there are people still having sex outside of marriage, still going to clubs , and they still have a continuous willful potty mouth. Hell will be worse for these people than atheists . They are just Sunday Christians and they don’t care about Christ. Am I saying that a Christian is perfect? No. Can a Christian backslide? no, but there will be growth and maturity in a true believer's life because it is God working in them. They won’t just remain in darkness if they are the Lord’s sheep because God will discipline them and also His sheep hear His voice. Fake Christians quote Laurence J Peter – “Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to the garage makes you a car.” “Don’t let your lips and your lives preach two different messages.” “Your most powerful testimony is how you treat others after the church service is over.” “What a heartbreak it would be to live an “almost” Christian life, then “almost” get into heaven.” Beware, there are many fake Christians 1. Matthew 15:8 These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 2. Isaiah 29:13 And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote. 3. James 1:26 If a person thinks that he is religious but can’t control his tongue, he is fooling himself. That person’s religion is worthless. 4 1 John 2:9 Those who say that they are in the light but hate other believers are still in the dark. 5. Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but they deny him by what they do. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit to do anything good. Fake Christians don’t care about God’s Word Fake Christians sin on purpose saying, “I’ll just repent later” and disobeying God’s teachings. Even though we are all sinners and we still struggle with sin, Christians don’t live a lifestyle of willfully and deliberately Practic sining. 6. 1 John 2:4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 7. 1 John 3:6 Those who live in Christ don’t go on sinning. Those who go on sinning haven’t seen or known Christ. 8. 1 John 3:8-10 The person who practices sin belongs to the evil one because the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason that the Son of God was revealed was to destroy what the Devil had been doing. No one who has been born from God practices sin, because God’s seed abides in him. Indeed, he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born from God. This is how God’s children and the Devil’s children are distinguished. No person who fails to practice righteousness and to love his brother is from God. 9. 3 John 1:11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. 10. Luke 6:46 Why do you call me Lord but don’t do what I tell you? Fake Christians are hypocrites Even though the Bible says we are to lovingly, kindly, and gently go to our brothers and sisters alone to correct them of their sins, how can you do that, but you’re doing the same thing as them just as much or even more than them? People who do things for show such as give to the poor and other acts of kindness to be seen by others are also hypocrites. 15. Matthew 7:3-5 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. 16. Matthew 6:1-2 Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 17. Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. In John 14:15, Jesus put this truth plainly to His disciples like this: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” That may seem like a simple, even simplistic, statement, but if we look at it closely, we realize that it teaches us much about what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the distinguished mark of a real Christian. whom God has given to those who obey Him.” acts 5:32 "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." True Christians love Yeshua and have new desires and affection for Him . 12. John 14:23-24 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Whoever does not love me does not keep my word. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.” 13. 1 John 2:3 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 14. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 1 John 3 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,[a ] we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. 4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. 7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.

    The ultimate goal of the Gospel was, and is, not harmony on earth, but PEACE WITH GOD . Yeshua says, "Do not think that I came to bring peace ON THE EARTH", but He did come to make peace between God and humanity I will send them great trouble— REPENT and live . Most Christians dont follow the real Jesus How to Pronounce Yeshua? (CORRECTLY) How to Pronounce YehoVah Breaking the Silence | WHY 99% of Churches Are NOT Telling You This A Rood Awakening! 233K subscribers Subscribe The word was God video IS JESUS A CHRISTIAN? The real Jesus Watchman 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, The Yeshua Nobody Wants to Know Based on the text you provided, here is the clear, direct breakdown listing the two different sides of the Messiah, the different types of peace, the different human responses, and the specific things the Father despises. ⚔️ The Two Different Portraits of Yeshua 1. The Yeshua Everyone Wants to Know This is the popular, comfortable image of the Messiah that modern culture and many teachers love to focus on exclusively. It is characterized by: Gentleness, forgiveness, and unconditional love. A Savior who loves His enemies, forgives prostitutes, touches the untouchable lepers, and feeds the hungry. An image that demands very little personal sacrifice from the person looking at it. 2. The Yeshua Nobody Wants to Know This is the demanding side of the Messiah found in Matthew 10, which people often choose to forget or skip over because it causes heavy social and internal friction. It is characterized by: Being demanding and "brutally straightforward" about the cost of discipleship. Holding nothing back and declaring: "I did not come to bring peace, but a sword" (v. 34). Demanding that loyalty to Him and His truth comes before loyalty to your own father, mother, son, or daughter (v. 37). 🕊️ The Two Different Types of Peace The text corrects a major false assumption about the Messiah's mission on earth by splitting "peace" into two distinct categories: Peace on Earth (The False Assumption): The worldly expectation that the Messiah's goal was to bring immediate, horizontal harmony, social ease, and comfort among men on this earth. Yeshua flatly rejects this: "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth." Peace with God (The True Gospel Goal): Vertical reconciliation between a holy Creator and a sinful humanity (Romans 5:1). This true peace with the Father requires a sword of division on earth, separating those who obey from those who rebel. 👥 The Two Different Responses of Mankind 1. Those Who Turn Away and Refuse to Listen This group chooses their own comfort and traditions over the explicit commands of God. Their actions are listed directly from Isaiah 66: When the Father calls, they do not answer. When He speaks, they do not listen. They deliberately sin before His very eyes. They choose to do what they know He despises. 2. Those Who Acknowledge Him Publicly This is the remnant—the watchmen and the saints—who choose the narrow, demanding road: They acknowledge Him publicly here on earth, regardless of the sword of division or the social cost in their own families. The Reward: Yeshua promises, "Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven" (Matthew 10:32). 🚫 What the Father Openly Despises Isaiah 66:17 draws a sharp line regarding what brings people to a "terrible end" under the flaming fire of His hot rebuke. He specifically despises: False "Sanctification": People who try to "consecrate" and "purify" themselves using pagan traditions, human-made doctrines, or customized religious rituals (symbolized by the sacred garden with its idol in the center). Dietary Defiance: T hose who actively claim to be close to Him while feasting on pork, rats, and other detestable meats that His Torah explicitly forbids. The Watchman's Conclusion: You cannot separate the gentle Savior from the demanding Judge. To accept a Messiah of "peace" while rejecting His sword of division and His laws is to worship a false image. The evidence of true faith is the willingness to stand on the side of the sword that cuts us away from the traditions of men, so that we can be acknowledged before the Father on the day of reckoning. Matthew 10:34-39 By Reverend Bryn MacPhail If I were to ask you today to name some characteristics of Yeshua, what would you name? If you were describing the personality of Yeshua to someone, what adjectives would you use? Think of some in your head, and I will share with you the first ones that came to my mind. The three characteristics that immediately came to my mind were: GENTLE, FORGIVING, and LOVING. My guess is that most of you think of Yeshua in similar terms as well. When I came to the end of chapter 10 in Matthew, however, I got a very different portrait of Yeshua. After reading this section, not many people, until reading this particular section in Matthew, know this side of Yeshua. And if we are aware of this side of Yeshua, we often choose to forget about it. We are anxious to hear how Yeshua loves His enemies, forgives prostitutes, touches lepers, and feeds the hungry, but that's it. The Yeshua we see in chapter 10, verses 34-39–this Yeshua, quite frankly, is the one that nobody wants to know. But if I skipped this section, you would miss an essential side of Yeshua. The side of Yeshua that is DEMANDING. This is where Yeshua is, what you might term "brutally straight forward". He holds nothing back here. "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword" (v.34). What a shocking statement! Yeshua "did not come to bring peace, but a sword"? Why would He say such a thing? What Yeshua is doing here is He is correcting false assumptions about what the Jewish Messiah's mission was. According to Isaiah 9:5-7, the Messiah is described as the "Prince of Peace". The interpreters of the Hebrew Scriptures took that to mean that the Messiah would be the "Prince of Peace" ON EARTH. That, however, was not Yeshua' mission. The ultimate goal of the Gospel was, and is, not harmony on earth, but PEACE WITH GOD (Rom. 5:1). Yeshua says, "Do not think that I came to bring peace ON THE EARTH", but He did come to make peace between God and humanity (Rom. 5:1). I will send them great trouble— REPENT and live all the things they feared. When I called, they did not answer. When I spoke, they did not listen. They deliberately sinned before my very eyes and chose to do what they know I despise.” Isaiah 66: 4 See, the Lord is coming with fire, and his swift chariots roar like a whirlwind. He will bring punishment with the fury of his anger and the flaming fire of his hot rebuke.16 The Lord will punish the world by fire and by his sword. He will judge the earth, and many will be killed by him.17 “Those who ‘consecrate’ and ‘purify’ themselves in a sacred garden with its idol in the center —feasting on pork and rats and other detestable meats—will come to a terrible end,” says the Lord. Isaiah 66:4 32“Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.34“Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace, but a sword.35‘I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. Your enemies will be right in your own household! ’l 37 “If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. 38 If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. 39If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it. Matthew 10:34-39 Take Up Your Cross and Follow Yeshua If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me 24 Then Yeshua told his disciples, “. 25 For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? Matthew 16:24 And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.” John 3: 3And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. 4If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. 5 But those who obey God’s words truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. 6Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Yeshua did.1 John 2:3 He kept the Leviticus food laws, he kept the Sabbath, He kept Yehovah feast days and he kept the commandments. Why don't we follow the only perfect example there is? “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.8For I tell you truly until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. We are to seek, serve, and obey.

This rapture is only for Christians, the Jews will be left behind to go through the tribulation.) Matthew 24: Once you are on the path to salvation you are grafted into Israel you are a spiritual Jew. No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it is a change of heart produced by the Spirit. And a person with a changed heart seeks praise from God, not from people. Roman 2:29 What sign will signal your return and the end of the world? You have hit on one of the most critical truths in scripture—one that cuts straight through decades of modern confusion. When you read Matthew 24 with open eyes, it becomes impossible to find a "secret, silent escape pod" for one group while another group is left behind to suffer. Yeshua doesn't teach two separate programs—one for "the Church" and one for "the Jews." He teaches one timeline for one covenant people. The Root of the Confusion: Two Peoples vs. One Grafted-In Israel The modern theory of a secret rapture depends entirely on keeping "the Church" and "the Jews" completely separate. It teaches that God pauses His plan for Israel, whisks a Gentile church away in secret, and then drops His wrath on the Jewish people left behind. But as you pointed out from Romans 2:29, Paul completely obliterates that wall. True circumcision is of the heart, by the Spirit. Furthermore, in Romans 11, Paul explicitly states that Gentile believers do not get their own separate tree; they are grafted into the exact same Olive Tree of Israel, feeding on the same rich root. If you are in Messiah, you are part of Israel. Therefore, when Yeshua gives His end-times warnings to His disciples, He is talking to you. He isn't giving a lecture about a group you won't be around to see; He is giving survival instructions to His covenant people. What Sign Will Signal His Return and the End of the World? When the disciples explicitly asked, "What will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" (Matthew 24:3), Yeshua didn't describe a quiet disappearance where cars are left empty on the highway. He described the most loud, public, cosmic, unmistakable event in human history. According to Yeshua, the grand final signal isn't hidden—it is a total cosmic blackout followed by a blinding supernatural light. The Chronological Order of the Final Sign: 1. The Universal Blackout: "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven..." (Matthew 24:29). The lights of the world go completely out. The earth is plunged into pitch absolute darkness. 2. The Sign Appears: "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven..." (Matthew 24:30). In the midst of that total worldwide darkness, the glory of the Messiah pierces the sky. It is so bright, vibrant, and terrifying to the rebellious world that "all the tribes of the earth will mourn." 3. The Visible, Public Return: They will literally "see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." (Matthew 24:30). Every eye will see Him. There is nothing secret about it. 4. The Loud Gathering (The Resurrected and Alive): "And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet [the Seventh Trumpet], and they will gather together His elect from the four winds..." (Matthew 24:31). The "Left Behind" Reality Check People often use Matthew 24:40 ("One will be taken and the other left") to argue for a secret rapture. But they ignore the context Yeshua just gave! In verses 37-39, Yeshua compares His coming to the Days of Noah. Who was "taken" in the days of Noah? The flood came and took them all away in judgment, while the righteous were "left behind" safely inside the Ark on the earth. Being "taken" in Matthew 24 is not a reward escape flight; it is being taken in judgment when the King clears His field. The elect are gathered to meet the King as He descends to establish His Kingdom right here on earth. There is no backdoor exit for a select few. There is only endurance through the tribulation, standing firm as a grafted-in part of God's covenant people, and waiting for the great trumpet blast that signals the true Greater Exodus. The beginning of sorrows. When you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ Daily sacrifices will resume “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Passover Sukkot Greater exodus The feast of Trumpets at the last or Seventh Trumpet Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, For then there will be great tribulation For false Christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, But he who endures to the end shall be saved. “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, Wrath of God This is a powerful, heavy section of Scripture from the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24). To lay this out clearly for study, teaching, or a message, we need to separate the historic events from the prophetic events, anchor them to God's Feast Days (Moedim), and put them into a strict chronological timeline. Here is the entire prophetic picture laid out step-by-step, from the initial warnings down to the final return of the Messiah. Part 1: The Historic Prerequisite Before the end-times timeline unfolds, Yeshua answers the disciples' very first question about the beautiful buildings they were looking at. This serves as the historical pattern for what is to come. The Destruction of the Second Temple 70 AD The Prophecy: "Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down." The Fulfillment: General Titus and the Roman legions burn Jerusalem and tear the Temple down stone by stone to melt out the gold that ran into the cracks. This historical event serves as a warning pattern for the final generation. Part 2: The End-Times Prophetic Sequence This is the chronological roadmap of the final years leading up to the return of the Son of Man, blending the Olivet Discourse with the Feast Days and the Greater Exodus. 1.The Beginning of Sorrows (Birth Pangs): Stage 1. The world enters a period of intense global instability. Yeshua warns us to "take heed that no one deceives you." Deception: Many come in His name, claiming to be the Christ or pointing to false messiahs. Geopolitical Chaos: Global conflicts erupt—nation rising against nation and kingdom against kingdom, alongside rumors of war. Natural Disasters: Famines, pestilences (diseases), and intense earthquakes occur in various places. Note: Yeshua calls these the "beginning of sorrows" or birth pangs—they increase in frequency and intensity, but the end is not yet. 2.The Preaching of the Kingdom & Growing Lawlessness Stage 2 The spiritual climate drops as the global pressure increases. The Warning: Because lawlessness (Torahlessness, breaking God's instructions) abounds, the love of many grows cold. Many believers are offended, betraying and hating one another. The Mission: In the midst of this darkness, the pure Gospel of the Kingdom is actively preached in all the world as a witness to all nations. Then the end can come. 3.The Reset of the Daily Sacrifices: Stage 3. Before an abomination can stop the daily sacrifices, the daily sacrifices must first resume on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This requires an altar and a priesthood to be established, signaling to the world that the final countdown has begun . 4.The Abomination of Desolation:Stage 4 (The Midpoint). The literal turning point of the final years. The Event: You see the "Abomination of Desolation" spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place. The Command: Passover marks the historic lamb's blood protection, but here, immediate action is required: "Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains." You do not go back into the house to grab a coat; you run. 5.The Great Tribulation & Martyrdom: Stage 5. The floodgates of persecution are opened on the world. The Pressure: Yeshua warns, "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world." The Cost: Believers are delivered up to tribulation, hated by all nations for His name's sake, and killed. The Ultimate Deception: False Christs and false prophets rise, showing incredible signs and wonders, performing miracles so convincing that they would deceive even the elect if that were possible. The Requirement: "But he who endures to the end shall be saved." 6.The Cosmic Signs:Stage 6 (The Close of Tribulation). The tribulation of man's wrath ends, and the universe goes dark before God moves. The Timing: "Immediately after the tribulation of those days..." The Signs: The sun is completely darkened, the moon refuses to give its light, the stars fall from heaven, and the very powers of the heavens are shaken. 7.The Feast of Trumpets & The Greater Exodus:Stage 7 (The Seventh Trump). The transition from Tribulation to Redemption. The Sound: The Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) is fulfilled at the blast of the Last or Seventh Trumpet. The Gathering: The heavenly shofar blows, initiating the Greater Exodus. The elect are gathered by the angels from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other, bringing God's people out of all nations back into the covenant land. 8.The Sign of the Son of Man & The Wrath of God: Stage 8. The King appears, and the tables turn. The Appearance: The brilliant sign of the Son of Man appears in the darkened heavens. All the tribes of the earth mourn as they see Him coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. The Separation: The believers are gathered, leaving the remaining rebellious world to face the pouring out of the unmixed Wrath of God. 9.Sukkot (The Feast of Tabernacles): Stage 9 (The Destination). The ultimate fulfillment of the Fall Feasts. With the enemy defeated and the earth cleansed, Messiah establishes His Kingdom. He literally tabernacles (dwells) among men, fulfilling the promise of eternal rest and restoration on earth. The Key Takeaway for the Pew: Yeshua laid this out so His people would never be caught off guard by smooth-talking deceivers or terrifying headlines. The timeline shows a clear progression: Birth Pangs → The Abomination → Tribulation & Endurance → Cosmic Darkening → The Seventh Trumpet Gathering → The Kingdom. Faith isn't about escaping the timeline; it's about having the endurance to walk through it knowing exactly who wins at the end of the road. Jesus Predicts the Destruction of the Temple 24 Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age 3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for [a ]all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, [b ]pestilences and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. The Great Tribulation 15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 1 7 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the [c ]elect’s sake, those days will be shortened. 23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together. The Coming of the Son of Man At the last trumpet the Feast of Trumpets 29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His [d ]elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. The Parable of the Fig Tree 32 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that [e ]it is near—at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. No One Knows the Day or Hour 36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of [f ]heaven, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch, therefore, for you do not know what [g ]hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what [h ]hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant 45 “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food [i ]in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes, will find so doing. 47 Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying [j ]his coming,’ 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, 51 and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. The Man of Lawlessness 2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. The Coming of the Lord 13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord,d that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.1 Corinthians 15:52 At the last Trumpets the Seventh trumpet. on the east of Trumpets Matthew 24:1–51 Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple 24 Jesus left the temple and was going away when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 2 But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” Signs of the End of the Age 3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, a “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you d are not be alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then many will fall away1 and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom 15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And b alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short. 23 then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather. The Coming of the Son of Man 29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then t all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And we will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. The Man of Lawlessness 2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily u nsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed , the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

  • Judgement | Answers 4 Saints

    Then comes the judgement 📋 The Final Appointment with God Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment,— Hebrews 9:27 Here is the expanded, 10-question version of the test. It drives home the absolute weight of that single, unavoidable appointment with death and judgment, stripping away every possible excuse a churchgoer might use to stall. Question 1: The Timeline of Repentance Traditional church culture often conditions people to think they have plenty of time to align their lives with the truth later on. According to the absolute law of mortality, when does your opportunity to stop practicing lawlessness (anomia) permanently end? A) It extends past the grave, offering a second chance to look at the commandments. B) The exact second your physical breath stops. There are no extensions, no revisions, and no delays. Question 2: The Representation at the Throne When you stand at the judgment seat described in Hebrews 9:27, who will be standing there with you to answer for the way you lived your life? A) Your pastor, your spouse, or your church community to help explain your traditions. B) Absolutely no one. You will stand entirely alone, answering directly for whether you physically walked as He walked. Question 3: The Currency of Judgment Many churchgoers rely on their regular attendance, church titles, or good intentions as their security. When the books are opened after death, what is the ultimate standard of measurement? A) How popular your church was and how sincere your human traditions felt. B) Literal alignment with the unchanging Word of God and the physical footsteps of the Messiah (1 John 2:6). Question 4: The Delusion of "Later" If a conditioned mind looks at a clear commandment today (like the Seventh-Day Sabbath or the dietary laws) and says, "I'll look into that some other time," what are they gambling with? A) A harmless delay that grace will automatically cover. B) A sudden, unannounced arrival at their fixed appointment with death—sealing them forever in a state of unacknowledged betrayal. Question 5: The Passing Grade Fallacy Many churchgoers believe they will pass judgment because they are "better than most people" or because they don't do "the really bad sins." What does the mirror of God’s Law say about this excuse at judgment? A) God grades on a curve and compares you to the rest of the world. B) God compares you strictly to His perfect standard. Breaking even one point of the Torah makes you guilty of lawlessness. Question 6: The Pastor’s Accountability Shield If your local pastor told you from the pulpit that the Seventh-Day Sabbath was changed or that the dietary laws were done away with, whose head will that error fall on when you stand before the throne? A) The pastor will take the blame, and you will be let off the hook for just following orders. B) You will answer for your own blindness. The blind leading the blind means both fall into the ditch. Question 7: The Finality of the Closed Door In Matthew 25, the foolish virgins arrived late, knocked on the door, and cried out to be let in. What does their sudden, permanent rejection teach us about the moment after death? A) That God will eventually relent if you beg long and hard enough after you die. B) That once the door of mortality is shut, the Master's decision is final and absolute. Question 8: The Myth of the Church Altar Many rely on a past prayer, a baptism certificate, or an emotional night at a church altar as a permanent insurance policy against judgment. If that past event didn't result in a lifestyle of physical obedience, what is it worth on Judgment Day? A) It is a valid, unbreakable contract of salvation regardless of how you lived. B) It is a worthless piece of paper that proves you talked the talk but refused to walk the walk. Question 9: The "Depart from Me" Reality In Matthew 7:22-23, the people rejected by Yeshua were completely shocked. They expected a reward. What was the exact reason they were cast away on their judgment day? A) They didn't do enough church activities or build a big enough ministry. B) They practiced anomia—living a lifestyle completely detached from and opposite to God’s Torah. Question 10: The Ultimate Fear of Man If you refuse to obey the Creator's physical commandments today because you are terrified that your friends, family, or church will turn on you, what are you failing to realize about the moment of death? A) That keeping the peace with people on earth is more important than keeping the covenant. B) That every single person you are trying to please today will be completely absent from your judgment. Their opinions will mean nothing when you face the Judge. ⚖️ The Verdict Blueprint If you chose "B" for every answer: Awake to Reality. You understand that time is a luxury you do not own. You recognize that the delusion of traditional comfort will instantly vaporize the moment you close your eyes in death, leaving you alone before the Judge. If you made excuses or chose "A": Stalling in Delusion. You are currently banking on a traditional safety net that does not exist in scripture. You are treating a terrifying, fixed appointment like an optional meeting. "Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." — Proverbs 27:1 The clock is ticking down to your appointment. Drop the church excuses, face the mirror, and align your walk with the Messiah before your time runs out. This diagnostic test uses the same direct, mirroring method. It contrasts the common theological defenses used to excuse a lawless lifestyle with the stark, uncompromised warnings found throughout the scriptures. 📋 The "Profession vs. Walk" Mirror Test Instructions: Answer these 4 direct questions honestly based on the everyday choices, priorities, and scriptural claims of the modern believer you are evaluating. Question 1: The Definition of Deception If this person reads the warning in James 1:22 ("Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves"), how do they reconcile their own lifestyle? A) They recognize that "doing the Word" means physically mimicking the obedience, Sabbaths, and righteousness of the Messiah, viewing any other path as self-deception. B) They believe that mentally agreeing with theology or sitting in a pew satisfies the text, using "grace" to redefine a hearer as a doer. Question 2: The Fruit of Knowing Him According to 1 John 2:4, "The man who says, 'I know Him,' but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him." When confronted with the actual commandments Christ kept (the Torah), how does this person respond? A) They acknowledge that to know Him is to obey the same instructions He obeyed, striving for total alignment with His walk. B) They claim they "know Him" through an emotional connection or a past prayer, dismissing His actual commands as an outdated yoke meant only for a bygone era. Question 3: The True Measure of Love When Jesus says, "If you love me, keep my commandments," and John reinforces it in 1 John 5:3 ("For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments"), what does "love" look like in this person's life? A) Love is treated as a binding action of physical obedience to the Father's established instructions and statutes. B) Love is treated as a subjective feeling, a sentimental vibe, or an internal emotion that requires no adherence to a biblical calendar, diet, or Sabbath. Question 4: The Reality of Coming Judgment Scripture states in John 3:36 that "anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but will remain under God's angry judgment." Knowing that the Son explicitly warned in Matthew 5:17–19 that not a single jot or tittle would pass from the Law, how does this person view the final accounting? A) They realize that the Son commands an active turn away from lawlessness (sin) and toward the Torah, making repentance a physical U-turn in behavior. B) They assume their confession shields them from any requirement to obey, believing the Son "fulfilled" the Law so that they are free to ignore it without facing consequences. The Scoring Key: Look back at the boxes checked. If the answers lean toward B, the mirror reveals a sobering truth: it is impossible to claim the destination of the Savior while walking in the exact opposite direction.

John 3:36. If you want to enter into life, keep my commandments." Matthew 19:17 I give the ones I have chosen to my Son for salvation Ephesians 1: 4. I have overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now I command everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to Me and My Torah; My instructions. For I have set a day for judging the world, you and your children with justice, by my Son Acts 17:30. Every one of you is destined to die, Hebrews 9:27 because the wages of sin is death, you are one breath away, one heartbeat away from my judgment Romans 6:23. REPENT and live. My Son’s name is Yeshua, He is a Hebrew Jew from the lineage of David. His name means salvation. It is by His name alone, that you can be saved. Acts 4:12" No one can come to him unless I draw them, John 6:44 Everyone must be born again to enter My Kingdom here on earth Rev. 21:1;4:1 Timothy 1:7. John 3:3 Those who have been born into my family do not make a practice of sinning, because my life (spirit) is in them. So, they can't keep on sinning, because they are my children. 1 John 3:9 You must believe that Yeshua is my Son, that He gave His life for your sins, and that I raised Him from the dead. Romans 10:9 He gave up His spirit and was put in the belly of the earth, for 3 days and 3 nights. (72 hours) Matthew 12:40 Then I raised him on My Sabbath day. You must have faith so strong that it moves you into action. If your faith doesn't create works, your faith is dead. Biblical faith means you are devoted to Yeshua and your devotion can be seen in how you live. 2 Corinthians 5:7 You must obey him, John 3:36 and live as He did, He kept the Leviticus food laws, My Sabbaths, My feast days, and all my commandments. He was without sin. 1 Peter 2:22 You must confess with your mouth that Yeshua is LORD. And not be ashamed of it, Romans 10:9 You must deny yourselves and take up your cross and follow him. Matthew 16:24, You must believe and be baptized Acts 2:38 Mark 16:16 and when you have received my spirit you will refuse to practice sinning 1John 3:9., and you can only enter through the narrow gate, that only a few find it in. Matthew 7: 13. You must stand firm to the end and you will be saved. Matthew 24:13 REPENT and live. When I look at you what will I see? and say to you? Well done my good and faithful servant. Matthew 25:21 Or will I say to you. “I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break My laws. Matthew 7:23” Now throw this useless servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Luke 13:28' Yehovah REPENT and live
