THE SABBATH

Part 2

The Sabbath was and old commandment, actually it was given by Yehovah to mankind at the Seventh day of creation, as already mentioned. Anyone who was not a descendant of Ya’aqov (Israel), who joined Yehovah, had to be circumcised before they would partake of the Passover.

And when the stranger dwells with you and wants to keep the Passover to Yehovah, let all his male be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as a native of the land.

Shemot/Exodus 12:48

I want to remind you that once you were born again, you were one with Israel. You were born of the Spirit of Elohim. You have become a new person in Him. You have entered into the Covenant, and you are required to keep the Commandments which includes the Sabbath, just as a born Israeli.

And also, the Sabbath is the sign of the Covenant. And Yehovah has not changed His mind in the Renewed Covenant, or New Testament, for He has not removed it!

And Yehovah spoke to Mosheh (Moses), saying, 13 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am Yehovah who sanctifies you. 14 You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15 Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to Yehovah. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days Yehovah made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.”

Shemot 31:12-17

Yehovah has said that it is a perpetual commandment; forever to be observed. I would be foolish if I tried to negotiate with Him, and transfer this day to another day of the week! Yet, this has been done! And it was done on purpose.

My question is: Do you love your Creator? Do you love Yehoshua Who died and rose again for you? Was the pain He suffered not enough to make you want to obey this commandment? Please think about this. The Sabbath is the one day of every week, that He has chosen to visit you. This day is an appointed day with your Savior! How can you argue that it is an old command, and it is no longer valid! When He said: “Perpetual,” it means forever and ever! Why in the world you refuse to obey this Command? Why do you not want to honor Yehovah, your Creator and Savior, on the special day He has chosen to meet with you? I would rather do more that is not required, than less!

Faith also by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

Ya’aqov/James 2:17

My question is, “Are you in Covenant with Yehovah?” If you are, you are supposed to keep the Sabbath day Holy unto Him, and honor Him. Stop working this blessed day, and rest as He had commanded you to do. Why do you refuse to be blessed on the Seventh day of the week? Why do you not want to be with Him on this special day?

If you say that you honor Him on the Sunday, it is your choosing, not Yehovah’s, and not mine. He has commanded you to keep the Sabbath, not Sunday. Even if you are not descendant of Ya’aqov (Jacob), you are in the kingdom, and you are part of Israel. Read every verse of Scripture, and make your choice. But please, do not criticize anyone who does keep the Sabbath. They are been blessed, but you are refusing the blessing.

Please, give Him, Yehovah, one day out of seven, to commune with Him in His special way, and on His own time! Honor Him, please!

Did Yehoshua said that we do not have to keep the Sabbath?

See the following Scriptures and decide.

Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till Heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of Heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of Heaven. 20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of Heaven.

Mattithyahu/Matthew 5:17-20

What did He say? He spoke about the commandments! So what more does anyone need to know concerning this command? What more do you need to believe that the Sabbath needs to be observed as “Thou shall not kill” for there is no difference; the Catholic church leaders knows this, and they laugh at the Protestants. Yes, they laugh, because the Protestants say that they keep only the Scriptures, but do not keep the Sabbath! And yet, there is not even one verse in the Scriptures that declares the Sabbath is passe,’ or over with it.

He also said:

“If you love Me, keep My Commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

Yochanan/John 14:15-18

I wrote the whole passage because it is so beautiful. Yehoshua, has not left us orphans. His Spirit is in us to lead and help us to understand the Word. However, at times, we also, forget that He is in us, but we choose to do our own will. Regrettably so! It is sad indeed, for a person to refuse to abstain from working one day, to be with our Father in Heaven!

He always kept the Sabbath, but He refused to keep the many extra commands made by the Rabbis and Pharisees.

To be continued.

 

THE SABBATH

Part one.

I decided to write about the Sabbath, today, to simply speak of the Person who has given us the command to keep them. And if we know who gave the Command, should we not listen and obey?

Let us begin with the Sabbath.

Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. 2 And on the seventh day Elohim ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then Elohim blessed the seventh day and sanctified.

Bereshit/Genesis 2: 1-3

Let us think about this for a moment. The author of life, Yehovah, created all that exists in six days. He did not need to rest in between or after. He was not tired. But He was setting His standard, the rule, if you will, for each one of us to observe. He created us in a specific way, and He knew we needed to have a day or rest. We need to recuperate our strength once a week. I am sure you will agree about this!

He knows how much a person can handle. Yehovah does not want us to work continually without having a day of rest. Our body has been created to function His way. And we need to be spiritually renewed at least once a week. However, We do not need only the body to be refreshed, but also our spirit.

We not only need our physical strength renewed, but our spiritual strength as well. We need to commune with Him at least one a week, because He has committed to bless us on this day.

Yehovah has set the standard for us to follow. He has blessed the seventh day, not the first day of the week. Sunday is the first day of the week.

I also believe that He rested to enjoy His work of creation with Adam. The Sabbath is a blessing from Yehovah to us. I wait for the seventh day to come, and simply seat in His presence! I read His Word, pray and worship. He is always faithful to visit me on this special day.

I would never go back going to church on Sunday, and refuse to rest on the Sabbath! On Sundays people still clean house, or go shopping, and so forth. Refuse to rest on the Sabbath, which is Saturday, is rebellion toward the command of Yehovah. And this is the cause of many physical, and spiritual problems, in man’s life.

The backslidden church changed the blessed Sabbath day to Sunday. It was done to honor the sun god. But Yehovah has never changed this day. You can search all the Scriptures to find one single verse saying that Saturday has been changed to Sunday, but you will never find it. Yehovah is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

“For I am Yehovah, I do not change; Therefore you are consumed, O sons of Ya’aqov (Jacob).”

Mal’aki/Malachi 3:6

Man has not being given authority the change the Word of Yehovah. However, he tries, and he does it, but it is to his own detriment!

How many people are sick because they refuse to rest on the Sabbath?

The Sabbath does not belong to any man, but to Yehovah alone; and it was created for all mankind. Only Adam was alive on that special day. He was the only human with his his Creator. And Adam is our ancestor. Each one of us has descended from him.

The Sabbath it is not a Jewish commandments. As all other commandments were given to help lead mankind in a way of holiness unto Yehovah. Yehovah spoke to the Chosen People, Israel, to teach the nations. No commandment is only for one particular group. The Word of Yehovah is for all mankind!

Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yehovah your Elohim. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is withing your gates. For in six days Yehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore Yehovah blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Shemot/Exodus 20:8-11

This chapter in Exodus begins with saying:

And Yehovah spoke all these words saying:

2) I am Yehovah your Elohim, who brought out of land of Mitsrayim (Egypt), out of the house of bondage.

3) You shall have no other gods before Me.

Shemot/Exodus 20:1-3

We have read that the Sabbath is the day Yehovah chose for Himself. We honor Him when we keep the Sabbath day Holy. It is His Day, not ours. He has chosen one day out of seven for Himself. He wants to meet with us in a special way on this day. Why in the world a so called Christian, not want to be with her Creator on this special day; a day He has graciously given us to meet with Him? Please think about this today, and do not say that it is in the Old Testament, therefore it is not valid in the New Testament. If this is your position then, you are a murderer, a thief, an adulterer, and you hate Yehovah. And you also hate the stranger, and the maid that you may have in your house.

If you break one commandment, you have broken them all.

If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well; but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.”

Ya’aqov/James 2:8-11

I want you to know that on Sinai, when this command was given, there were Jews and Gentiles, and were a great multitude.

Then the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides children. A mixed multitude went up with them also, and flocks and herds-a great deal of livestock.

Shemot/Exodus 12:37-38

Did you read it? The multitude was mixed! Hebrews and Gentiles joined together to serve Yehovah. They chose to follow the Elohim of Israel. They saw the miracles Elohim had done in Mitsrayim (Egypt), and Egypt was destroyed. Those people left their home land to follow Yehovah. They came where He was, and they were blessed, They agreed to obey all the commandments that He gave on Mount Sinai; they said yes with Israel. Let us read what Yehovah had said, and what their answer was.

“Now therefore, if will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. 8 “All that Yehovah has spoken we will do.”

Shemot/Exodus 19: 5-7, 8

I will continue on my next message. Be at peace with your Creator!

 

IDOLATRY

 Part 3

I need to end this subject for a while. But I will speak of and idol that most people do not recognize.

Let us think for one short time on how do you feel about yourself. If you are a follower of Yehoshua I hope you will not fall into this category.

However if you are not, most likely you may at times think that you are invincible. You may think no one can tell you what to do. You may hate follow good rules, especially the rules of the Kingdom of Yehovah. You many want to do just the opposite of what He requires of us His children.

You may have heard the following verse preached on television a while ago.

“I said, “You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High.”

Tehillim/Psalm 82:6

I heard this teaching from a very known television preacher. I do not want to attack the person, but shine some light on the Word.

On the basis of this word they say that they are little gods. I reject this because man was created in Elohim’s image, in the sense that He received the ability to think and have a personal will to choose and to know right and wrong.

Let us read the second part of the above verse:

But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Tehillim/Psalm 82:6b

Man has no special favors with Elohim. He is not god. When we sin, He has the right to discipline us, and even to take our lives, if He so chooses.

Let us read some other verses.

“I, Yehovah, am the first; and with the last I am He.”

Yeshayahu/Isaiah 41:4

“I am the Aleph and the Tav, the Beginning and the End,” says Yehovah, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.

Chazon/Revelation 1:8

What He is saying is that there is no other Elohim. He is not saying “I am the Big Elohim, the Head, and I have many small Elohim to help me reign on the earth. They make small decisions for Me, because I am too busy to deal with everyone. I really need help to do this huge job, so I created little gods. I cannot do my job without them, so I have made them gods too.”

Let me say to you one simple thing. He is Almighty and all powerful. He has not created humans to be little gods. In fact the first thing man did is to disobey Him, and we continue do so every day!

He has many angels who serve Him and help us. Without their help we could have died many times because of our stupid mistakes! I can testify this in my own life. I am so thankful for sending His angels to me, to help me, up to the present. The angels are powerful, live in His presence and carry His Presence and only speak His Word with power. They overthrow governments and nations. They carry the Power of Yehovah. Yehovah has not created little gods called men! Remove this foolish teaching from your mind. Man is submitted to Yehovah and if he disobeys Him he, eventually if he does not repent, ends up in Hell.

Those religions that teach man is god, need to submit to Yehovah, instead of listening to the words of Satan. He tried to place this thought in the Garden of Eden to Chava, also called Eve. He wanted to rule on this earth by receiving obedience and worship from men. I have spoken about this already.

My suggestion is to read the whole Book called the Bible, which is the Word of Yehovah, although the translators have messed up somethings.

Let us read another verse together.

I am Yehovah, that is My name;

and My glory I will not give to another,

nor My praise to carved images.

Yeshayahu/Isaiah 42:8

Do I have to say more?

I am talking to those who teach this lie. Can you change your hair from black to white, or vice versa?

Can you make water boil without fire? Can you make bread and bake it without an oven?

Can you walk on water on your own free will?

Kepha (Peter) did that in the presence of Yehoshua, but soon got he got so scare and was drowning! He could only do it because Yehoshua said to him to do it. But so far, no one else has done it! Can you decide when you will die?

You will be able to say it, only if you plan to kill yourself! But I pray you are not such a fool.

Yet a person who listens to some speaker, has told me several times that, yes, we can decide to die when we want.

Let me say this very frankly: this is a lie and a false teaching. If this was possible I would have died many times before my time which is not yet.

If a person would be able to do this, no one would suffer years with cancer or any other disease.

However, believers also are not able to decide when they will die. If they would, no one would die of accidents, because they would be careful and stay home safe.

And if they knew how to die naturally, just because they are in need of food, and without a steady income, they would simply die.

If a person teaches this false teaching is in idolatry, because is making himself to be Elohim.

However, he may have a god complex because he or she is demon possessed!

Also can you tell me with precision, without praying to Yehovah, when the war will start? NO.

He has given us gifts to use only according to His will. If a person would be able to know this without praying to Yehovah, that person is in witchcraft and is in idolatry. But the devil does not know everything, only what he hears someone say.

Do not believe every thing that shines is pure gold. Even if it shines it does not mean it is gold. It may be cheap metal.

Look at the source. What king of person is him or her? Do you see the fruit of the Spirit in them?

Are they compassionate and give the poor even when they do not have much?

Let see some of the qualifications together.

Do they love Yehovah and their neighbor”

“You shall love Yehovah your Elohim with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandments. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”

Mattithyahu/Matthew 22:37

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is not law.

Galatians 5:22

In conclusion, idolatry is unfaithfulness toward our Creator. He has married us through the Covenant. If we become idolaters we are harlots!

We must honor Yehovah and serve Him not in pride and arrogance, but in humility. Do not be gullible and believe everything you hear, but test with the Word of Yehovah.

Believe the gospel and receive the free gift of salvation through Yehoshua. If you do, His Spirit will come into your life, and you will have the grace to serve the Father and the Son. Be at peace with Yehovah and with yourself, and stop wanting to become a god, for it will never happen.

IDOLATRY

 Part 2,

I continue to speak on idolatry for it is a very important subject, and this sin, as all sin will keep you out of Heaven. Of course, if you are involved in the worship of idols, you care less about the Supreme Being who has created you. But I hope, you are not one of those people. Anyway please read this little message today.

I have talked about dumb idols on my first message. The prophets have spoken about this issue often. Let me now write something the prophet Yirmeyahu has written under the inspiration of the Ruach HaQodesh (Holy Spirit).

“Hear the Word which Yehovah speaks to you, O house of Israel. Thus says Yehovah:

“Do not learn the way of the Gentiles (Uncircumcised people); do not be dismayed at the signs of Heaven. For the Gentiles are dismayed at them. For the customs of the peoples are futile;

For one cuts a tree from the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.

They decorate it with silver and gold; They fasten it with nails and hammers so that it will not topple. They are upright, like a palm tree, and they cannot speak; they must be carried, because they cannot go. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, nor can they do any good.

Yirmeyahu/Jeremiah 10:1-5

I do not have to expound on the above verses, for they are clear enough, yet so many people even in these last days make idols, and even kiss them, as though that man- made thing is able to hear and feel. They are so foolish as the idol is. When I have spoken to some people on this subject they answer me: “Oh, we do not worship them.” They represent the person, be that God, or some other dead person. (See Shemot/Exodus 20:1-6) I wrote this passage in the last message. What they do is they are disobeying the Elohim they say they worship. This does not go well with Him.

They do not realize that, in reality, they are connected to demons who follow and obey Satan.

Satan the fallen angel. Who was he?

“You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of Elohim; every precious stone was your covering: the sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created. You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; you were on the holy mountain of Elohim; you walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. You were perfect in you ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you.”

Yechezqel/Ezekiel 28:12b-15

He had been created by Elohim. He is not the creator. He was given great wisdom, and now he uses these gift to corrupt the people. He was in a high place close to Yehovah, but he was not happy. He became proud and wanted to take the place that belongs only to Yehovah. He always wanted worship, and still does, one way or another. Remember that he came to tempt Yehoshua.

Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” Then Yehoshua said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship Yehovah your Elohim, and Him only you shall serve.” Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

Mattithyahu/Matthew 4:8-11

He still wants to ascend to the highest place and be worshiped as Elohim (God), although he was cast out with the angels who followed him. The Word of Yehovah declares:

“By the abundance of your trading you became filled with violence within, and you sinned; Therefore I cast you out as a profane thing out of the mountain of Elohim; and I destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings that they may gaze at you.

Yechezqel/Ezekiel 28: 16-17

Do not be deceived Satan has as much power as you give him. He tried, but could not make the Son of Yehovah bow the knew before him in worship! How dare he came to GOD Himself and tempted Him with pride, the same pride that caused him to fall down from Heaven. And pride is the major issue in his life, and puts it on mankind.

Therefore he uses statues and other practices, such as miracles to deceive people and cause them to sin. He can make a statue to cry, or to shed blood, or he can make a man to bleed from his hands, to receive worship. We have seen false miracles in the catholic church, and other groups.

Satan has something very persistent and powerful in mind, which is taking the worship away from our Creator and giving it to him. Especially now that the time is short before his final end, he is working over time to deceive as many as he can.

When a person worships idols, becomes as them. They actually become demon possessed and can no longer reason, for demons are controlling them. I know, I was an idolater. I worshiped Miryam (Mary) and all dead saints. I was lost and did not know. I prayed to the idol of Miryam, but there was no answer. I prayed many rosaries, but to no avail. No answer! Until one day, after I gave my life to Yehovah and believed in Yehoshua as my Savior, King, Bridegroom, and yielded my life completely to Him, He revealed to me the that statue of Miryam was an idol. Yehovah revealed to me. I saw in the spirit two other figure on top of that statue. You see, Miryam is not another Elohim, or another Savior. She only bore Yehoshua. That was her calling with Yoseph. But she was a sinner as everyone of us. She herself said,

My soul magnifies Yehovah, and my spirit has rejoiced in Elohim my Savior.

Luqas/Luke 1:47

She only had one thing to do: give birth to the Son of the living Elohim, so that herself one day could be saved with all mankind. The false teaching that she is co-Savior is false and it is idolatry, and it cause souls to pray to her. It is a disgrace to the work of the cross and to Yehoshua. He finished the work of redemption of humankind. We cannot add anything to it.

Yehovah had to show me what He thought of this evil disgraceful lie of Satan that the church has accepted and taught as truth.

He told me to burn the statue with fire.

“You shall burn the carved images of their gods with fire; you shall not covet the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest you be snared by it; for it is an abomination to Yehovah your Elohim. Nor shall you bring an abomination in to your house, lest you be doomed to destruction like it. You shall utterly detest it and utterly abhor it, for it is an accursed thing.”

Devarim/Deuteronomy 7:25-26

His Word cannot be disputed it.

I knew now I was in trouble, and needed to obey Him immediately. I have written a book called, NEW LIFE AND GLORY, you may want to buy it on Amazon. If you will read it, you will learn that indeed the statue and other idols were burned to ashes, but not by my own made fire, but Yehovah’s fire. He literally sent the fire from Heaven to burn the idols.

He hates idolatry. He has created us for Himself, but Satan wants us to leave our faith in our Creator, so that he can reign. But he never will. His destiny is already written down.

The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Chazon/Revelation 20:10

And this is why he wants to hurt as many as he can with false doctrines. He wants to take them with him to that lake of fire to be tormented forever and ever.

Until next time

Shalom

IDOLATRY

 

Today we will speak about idolatry. You may say to me immediately that you are not bowing down to an idol. Congratulation! However, please continue reading for you may need this message to give to you near relative or friend.

This message to day is part one.

Let begin with our roots. Who created us? Let us begin with the book of Bereshit/Genesis.

After Elohim created this universe, He said something very important that all of us need to know.

Then Elohim said, “Let us make man in Our image, according to Our Likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. So Elohim created man in His own image; in the image of Elohim He created them. Then Elohim blessed them and Elohim said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Bereshit/Genesis 1:26-28

At this point I must ask a question. Who created us? Who owns us? Does He have any rights over us? Please think on these things.

If you think that you just was formed out of the air, let us think about this too? Who created the air? Does anything exist without someone who has formed it? You can meditate on these issues and see what you come out with.

My answer is that the Supreme Being called Elohim, God, is the author of your life. And if He is author of your life, He has the legal right to tell you what He expects of you. Do you agree?

If you make a chair, you have the right to use this chair, to give it away as a gift, and even to destroy it if it becomes unusual, right? Therefore Elohim Yehovah has the right to tell you what you can do or what you cannot do. He suggests to you a good diet, as we read in Wayyiqra/Leviticus 11, and Devarim/Deuteronomy 14, you may want to go there and read this chapters, and find out what foods He has created for you to eat, or not to eat. Not all animals are to be eaten by men! He is so concerned about your health that He tells you exactly what is beneficial for your health.

However this may not be something you want to do. But we will talk about this later on.

Now let us read in another chapter.

And Elohim spoke all these words saying: 

“I am Yehovahⁱ your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim/Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You have no other mighty onesⁱⁱ against My face. You do not make for yourself a carved image or any likeness of that which is in the shamayim above, or which is in the earth beneath, or which is in the water under the earth. You do not bow to them nor serve them. For I Yehovah your Elohim, am a jealous El, visiting the wickedness of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and guard My Commands.”

Shemot/Exodus 20:1-6 (HS)

Let me now go to the book of Yeshayahu.

Thus says Yehovah, the King of Israel, “I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no Elohim (God).

Yeshayahu/Isaiah 44:6

Knowing that He is the First and the Last, why mankind makes himself images and calls them gods?

Now let us read what He has to say about idols in other Scriptures.

Those who make an image, all of them are useless, And their precious things shall not profit; they are their own witnesses; they neither see nor know, that they may be ashamed. Who would form a god or mold an image that profits him nothing?

Surely all his companions would be ashamed; And the workmen, they are mere men.

Let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; Yet they all fear, they shall be ashamed together.

The blacksmith with the tongs works one in the coals, fashions it with the strength of his arms.

Even so, he is hungry, and his strength fails; He drinks no water and is faint.

The craftsman stretches out his rule, he marks one with chalk; he fashions with a plane, he marks it out with the compass, and makes it like the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man, that it may remain in the house.

He cuts down cedars fro himself, and takes the cypress and the oak; he secures for himself among the trees of the forest, he plants a pine, and the rain nourishes it.

Then it shall be for a man to burn, for he will take some of it and warm himself; Yes, he kindles it and bakes bread; indeed he makes a god and worships it; he makes it a carved image, and falls down to it. He burns half of it in the fire; with this half he eats meat; he roasts a roast, and is satisfied. He even warms himself and says, “Ah! I am warm, I have seen the fire.”

And the rest of he makes into a god, his carved image. He falls down before it and worships it, prays to it and says, “Deliver me, for you are my god!”

Yeshayahu/Isaiah 44:9-17

I had to write this passage to give you, the reader, the understanding that carved or painted images are forbidden. They are useless! One is from a tree, or clay, and another may be designed on a piece of paper. They are useless! They have no power and reveal the condition of fallen man. Man has chosen to find images who cannot rebuke them for their behavior. They imagine they are somehow in the air listen to them. They have no soul or spirit. They are physical images that cannot answer their prayers. They cannot have a conversation with them, for they have no life.

Yet so many go to a church and dip the hands in the so called holy water and make the sign of the cross, as though this is accepted by Yehovah, but it is only idolatry.

They continue in the building and make the sign of the cross and kneel and make the sign of the cross and pray to a mute piece of tree! This is man’s degradation. He has forgotten who his real Creator and Savior is.

Today I will end with the following Scripture.

For the wrath of Elohim is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be know of Elohim is manifest in them, for Elohim has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and mightiness, so they are without excuse, because, although they knew Elohim, they did not glorify Him as Elohim, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible Elohim into an image made like corruptible man-and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

Therefore Elohim also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lust of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of Elohim for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Romiyim/Romans 1:18-25

Please read and meditate on these Scriptures today. I will continue on my next message.

Seek the Creator, and be at peace today.

iYehovah is the correct name of our Creator. He spoke to Mosheh/Moses saying: Yehovah Elohim or your fathers has sent me to you. Shemot/Genesis 3:15;

I am Yehovah, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to carved images. Yeshayahu/Isaiah 42:8. Please note that the translators hide His Most Sacred Name and use the title the LORD. THIS IS A DISGRACE! I always use His correct name, and I hope you will do the same.

iiMighty ones is saying, not other elohims, or false gods.

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES OF THE END OF THE AGE

Yehoshua was with the apostles on the Mount of Olives, and the disciples asked Him privately what would be the sign of his Coming, and of the end of the age. You can read all about this in the 24^th chapter of the book of Mattithyahu. We will read each verse as we go through this chapter.

Now as they sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying,

“Tell us when will the sign of Your coming, and the end of the age?”

Mattithyahu/Matthew 24:3

I am sure that many people have been asking his question in these last days. You may have done the same thing, did you?

Well, it is not a secret. Yehoshua has spoken about this subject very precisely.

The first sign is that of many false Christs. Deception.

24:4,5 “And Yehoshua answered and said to them; “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.”

Is this happening? Absolutely! It happens many times in the past, and it is happening now, although it is still a little veiled. But you can open your eyes, hear and see.

24:6 “And you will will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.”

Have you been listening to the news? Did you listen to the tru-news? I am not a fan of this news, but I mentioned because they have been speaking about the Nation of Russia that is supposedly is ready to attack. Russia may be waiting to the slighted provocation from the US in order to attack America and possibly other nations. Only Yehovah knows for sure. There are other nations who want to take over America and have control over this nation already. Why? America is going to be destroy if she does not stop killing its citizen, babies and adults. Yehovah is righteous and is no longer enduring this affront against His Creation. Sin is destroying America.

Now satanism is common in this land as in other pagan lands. Even the church, generally speaking, is backslidden. There is sin in the churches, and Yehovah wants to clean up. I say this not to condemn, but to speak truth. We, His people need to repent and turn our lives over to Him. We have to stop turning our ears away from His Word, but pursue Him, and choose to obey Him. Stop being liberal! You have been bought with a price. You do not belong to yourself, but to Yehoshua who died and rose again to save you.

“For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify Elohim in your body and in your spirit, which are Elohim’s.”

Qorin’tiyim 1/1 Corinthians 6:20

As a believer in Yehoshua you are a new creation. You have the power to resist sin.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Mashiach/Messiah, he is new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

Qorin’tiyim 2/2 Corinthians 5:17

Shall Yehovah be silent? No. He has the right to speak and to judge accordingly. Eventually nations will rise up, and He will let it happen, because of our sin.

24:7-8 “For nations will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”

Will you deny this fact? It is all happening. Are there famines? Pestilences? What is QOVID19? Are there earthquakes? They have intensified? Yes! Soon there will be be the greatest war anyone has ever seen. Population will be decimated.

24:9-10 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.”

During this last two years, all the above have been happening. But it will intensify when their lives will be in danger, they will save their skin by betraying you. You will not be able to trust anyone!

24:11 “Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.”

This is also happening. They are upholding a politician high up as their savior. They are listening to lies, and are deceived, but do not know it.

Seek Yehovah with all your heart, and stop listening to prophets for a season, or your will continue to be deceived. Listen to the Holy Spirit instead, and He will direct your path.

24:12-13 “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.”

Have you notice that even the family is not loving as it was thirty or forty years ago? If you are very young you do not know this. But if you are older, you will realize that many are very selfish, unless they have a deep relationship with Yehovah and Yehoshua. If they do not walk in the fear of Yehovah, they are selfish. “Me first” attitude. 

We, generally speaking, do not share with the poor, as we are commanded to do. We may have abundance, but keep it for ourselves. This is lack of love toward our neighbor. Wickedness is abounding. Sin is in every corner. But we are called to endure the temptations of the world. We have His grace to be able to endure. We need to draw near to Him, and He will help us to be overcomes. Of course, Yehovah has a remnant. I personally people who are very unselfish because they know their Elohim, and keep their heart very tender.

24:14 “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.”

I believe this is happening now for a long time. But only Yehovah knows if the gospel has reached every city, every town, and every village, and every person. He is the all knowing Elohim, and we do not know for sure.

24:15-22 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation’ spoken of by

Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For 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 will be shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.”

Just recently Yehoshua told me that we will be going through a time of terror, such as never before in history. The evil is so wicked that He has to cleanse it. Many will die. Fear is on every side. Mistrust everywhere. We cannot trust even our family members, for such evil is permeating all mankind. It seems that such terrible thing is going to start in Israel, but it is a world war against all righteousness. Man wants to be god, but he is a miserable fallen man, and without His grace is lost for all eternity. There is only one place we can hide, and that is in Yehovah alone. We must fix our eyes on Him, and keep seeking Him no matter what is going on.

For if we do that, we will be able to stand firm in our faith, and be with Him for all eternity. I am so glad that He has shortened the days of this tribulation! We should be very thankful.

As to the coming of our Adon Yehoshua, haMashiach and our gathering together in Him, we ask you, brothers, not to become easily unsettled in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as if the day of Yehovah has come. Let no one deceive you in any way, because the falling away is to come first, and the man of lawlessness is to be revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called Elohim or that is worshiped, so that he sits as Elohim in the Mishkan of Elohim, showing himself that he is Elohim.

Tas’loniqim2/2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 (HS)

The church as we know it is not going to last. Many are already leaving the Sunday service. But others are keeping the commandment of keeping the Sabbath day holy. But many are leaving the faith altogether! This is also one of the signs.

24:23-24 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Mashiach!’ or “There!” For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you before hand.”

We already have talked about this. But when Yehovah speaks about the same thing it is very important and we must hear. Do not think miracles are all from Yehoshua. The devil is a deceiver, and will give you something for you to fall into his trap. If you need a miracle, he will do it to take you with him to his lake of fire in the near future.

24:26-28 “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. For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”

This message has been long again, but it is necessary to write as much Word as possible. I divided this message of the Second Coming of Yehoshua in two parts already.

Please do not be deceived, read and re-read this message and pray about you life. Be always in Him. Serve Him and do not be distracted by politics or false prophecies. Listen to the Holy Spirit in you. Be at peace in Him.

Shalom.
