THE DAY OF YEHOVAH

(Part one)

 “Blow a ram’s horn in Tsiyon, and sound an alarm in My qodesh (holy) mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the earth, tremble, for the day of Yehovah (the LORD) is coming, for it is near;”- YOEL/Joel 2:1 (HS)

Today I am going to begin a message in a few parts, for I want to share many Scriptures and I do not want to make the message too long for you to read.

We all should be aware of the fact that this world is in chaos, and no one man or woman can bring a true remedy. However I know that a man of lawlessness eventually will be revealed and he is described as the son of perdition (Tas’loniqim 2/2 Thessalonians 2: 3).

But we, who believe in our Yehoshua our Mashiach, will not be deceived if we are walking in the Spirit and not in the flesh. What I mean in the flesh is that we are not walking according to the will of our Heavenly Father.  Sin causes blindness, and when believers allow sin to dwell in their lives will be non able to discern what is right and what is not. Therefore even the elect can be deceived. Also before his coming many will prophesy falsely. See Yeshayahu/Isaiah 59:10-12; Qorin’tiyim 2/2 Corinthians 3:14; Mattithyahu/Matthew 15:14; Mattithyahu/Matthew 24:14).

“And many false prophets shall rise up and lead many astray.” --Mattithyahu/Matthew 24:11.

I have spoken on this subject in another message, but today I am going to give more Scriptures in order for each of us, me included, to be aware and informed.

“Hush! In the presence of the Adon (Lord) Yehovah. For the day of Yehovah is near, for Yehovah has prepared a slaughter, He has qadosh His invited ones.” -Tsephanyah/Zephaniah 1:7

In these Last Days the love of many will grows cold. Because we are in the Last Days, the love of many has already grown cold.  People are becoming more and more self centered.  Self love and love in the same sex is now an ordinary thing for most people.  Violence and anti-Semitism is escalating. It is no longer a secret to many believers, who read the Scriptures, that indeed we are living at the Last Days, or Days of Yehovah/ (Yom Yehovah).

The phrase “Yom Yehovah” is found 18 times in the prophetic books of our Bibles. We read about this mostly in the books of Yoel and Tsephanyah/Zephaniah, but it is a crucial or very important theme in the Bible. We also read about in the Brit Chadashah (Renewed Testament).

 Let me share with you a few of those prophecies. This will help you to be aware of them when you read the Scriptures, and maybe you can even mark them in your Bible as I do.

“See, the day of Yehovah is coming, fierce, with wrath and heat of displeasure, to lay the earth waste, and destroy its sinners its sinners from it.”

-Yeshayahu/Isaiah 12:9

“the sun is turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yehovah.”- Yoel/Joel 2:31

 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and splendid day of Yehovah. -Ma’aseh /Acts 2:20

“Woe to you who are longing to the day of Yehovah! What does the day of Yehovah man to you? It is darkness, and not light.” Amos 5:18

“Near is the great day of Yehovah, near and hurrying greatly, the noise of the day of Yehovah. Let the mighty man then bitterly cry out! 15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of distress and trouble, a day of waste and ruin, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds, dense clouds, 16 a day of ram’s horn and alarm against the walled cities and against the corner towers. 17 “And I shall bring distress on men, and they shall walk like blind men-because they have sinned against Yehovah, and their blood shall be poured out like dust and their flesh like dung.” 18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Yehovah. And by the fire of His jealousy all the earth shall be consumed, for He makes a sudden end of all those who dwell in the earth. -Tsephanyah/Zephaniah 1:14-18

Many people, even many so called Christians, are now living a worldly life style. They have been influenced by the television and the movies that it is fine to live together unmarried. A large number of people no longer believe the Scriptures because their leader has said that the Bible is not really the Word of God. They deny the Word is the Inspired Word of Yehovah.  Therefore they break the Commandments but think nothing of it.  

They adopt the saying that they are hurting no one, and they can do what they feel is right for them. They say “God knows my heart, “I am doing nothing wrong.” But they are deceived!  They are hurting   other innocent people who will suffer with them and lose their soul. We affect others by our life style. And when we do not live according to the Word of Yehovah but act so selfishly without restrain or guilt, we cause others to go to perdition.  I hope that we, those who are truthfully serving Yehovah and believe in His Son Yehoshua, will live our lives without compromising our faith. Or we will lose the light we have received and cause others to stumble.

We must make a difference in this life while it is still day…and warn those who need instruction, or they will be under the wrath of Yehovah.  We are called to be shining lights because the Light of the World is living in us. Let us be faithful to our Savior and do our work that He has entrusted us with.

However, sadly some will escape his wrath by the skin of their teeth! Yehovah is merciful, and longsuffering, but do they love our Savior who died for us with all our hearts and minds?   To love is to obey.

Yehoshua said this way “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” -Yochanan/John 14:15.

I will end now for today, and I hope that you, the reader, will take the time to search your heart and see if there is any wicked thing in you. I do the same. If you find that you are not right according to the Word of Yehovah, please repent and call upon the Name of Yehovah to help you overcome and be forgiven.

I will continue on my next message.

Shalom
