Part 4 continues..
The Day of Yehovah does not only apply to the
judgment of Israel but also to the following pending or far away events.
The
future judgment of Yisra’el
“See.
The day of Yehovah is coming, fierce, with wrath and heat of displeasure, to
lay the earth waste, and destroy its sinners from it. 10 For the stars of the
shamayim (Heaven) and their constellations do not give off their light. The sun
shall be dark at the rising, and the moon not send out its light. 11 And I
shall punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their wickedness, and
shall put an end to the arrogance of the proud, and lay low the pride of the
ruthless. 12 I shall make mortal man scarcer than fine gold, and mankind than
the gold of Ophir. 13 So I shall make
the shamayim tremble, and the earth shall shake from her place, in the wrath of
Yehovah of hosts and in the day of the
heat of His displeasure. 14 And it shall be as the hunted gazelle, and as a
sheep that no man takes up-every man
turns to his own people, and everyone flees to his own land. 15 Whoever is
found is thrust through, and everyone taken falls by the sword.” -Yeshayahu/Isaiah
13 9-15
What I copied is only a portion, of course. You may want
to read the whole chapter for it is eye
awakening indeed! We are going to be facing terrible times and we must prepare.
“For the day of Yehovah is near upon all the
gentiles. As you have done, it shall be done to you, your reward shall come
back on your own head.”-Obadyah/Obadiah 15
I am very concerned about the Gentiles who have in
the past and even now coming against the Chosen People. They are accusing them
now that those returned to Yisra’el are not even Jews because they are
Europeans. Of course, they came from Europe and Africa, but they are returning
Jews that Yehovah fort told in the Scriptures.
I will only mention a few now for you to realize that Yehovah never
meant for Yisra’el to be forgotten.
“And
it shall be, when all these words come upon you, the berakhah and the curse
which I have put before you, and you shall bring them back to your heart among
all the gentiles where Yehovah your Elohim drives you, 2 and shall turn back to
Yehovah your Elohim and obey His voice, according to all that I
command you today, with all your heart and with all your being, you and your
children, 3 then Yehovah your Elohim shall turn back your captivity, and shall
have compassion on you, and He shall turn back and gather you from all the
peoples where Yehovah your Elohim has scattered you. 4 If any of you are driven
out to the farthest parts under the shamayim, from there Yehovah your Elohim
gathers you, and from there He takes you. 5 And Yehovah your Elohim shall bring
you to the land which you fathers possessed , and you shall possess it. ‘And He
shall do good to you, and increase you more than your fathers.”-Devarim/Deuteronomy
30:1-5.
There are many scriptures, and if you are a student
of the Word you will find them all over in the Prophets. I may write another
message concerning this subject later on.
Future judgment on Israel for not keeping the
Covenant as they were invaded by Assyria
and Babylon and they were taken into
captivity (Yeshayahu /Isaiah 3:1-18-4:1; Amos 5:18-20).
Yeshayahu/Isaiah
13:19 spoke of the destruction of Babylon and the Medes and it was fulfilled
in 539BC.
Let
us now read about the deliverance and
blessing of Israel and the Nations in that day
“And
it shall be in that day that Yehovah puts
His hand again a second time to recover the remnant of His people who are left,
from Ashshur and from Mitsrayim, from Pathros and from Kush, from Eylam and
from Shin’ar, from Chamath and from the islands of the sea. 12 and He shall raise
a banner for the nations, and gather the outcasts of Yisra’el, and assemble the
dispersed of Yahudah from the four corners of the earth.”Yeshayahu/Isaiah
11:10-12
Yoel/Joel
3 describes how Yehovah will bring the Gentiles to the valley of Yahoshaphat because
they have divided the Land of Israel and not respected His people. You must
read this whole chapter.
In the past, a fulfillment of that day is the destruction of the Temple 586BC
which was described in the book of Lamentations.
“Young
and old lie on the ground in the streets. My maidens and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have slain them
in the day of Your displeasure, You have slaughtered without compassion.” -Eykhah/Lamentations
2:21
In a way we have seen
the fulfillment in the past of the Day of Yehovah, as He has brought the Jewish
people twice back from captivity to their own home land.
Now
we are expecting the Great Day of Yehoshua’s Return.
“ I was looking in the night visions and saw
One like the Ben of Enosh, coming with the clouds of the shamayim! (Heaven!)
and he came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. 14
and to Him was given rulership and esteem and a reign, that all peoples,
nations, and languages should serve Him. His rule is an everlasting rule which
shall not pass away, and His reign that which shall not be destroyed.” -Dani’el 7:13
”And
then the sign of the Ben of Adam shall appear in the shamayim, and then all the
tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Ben of Adam coming on the
clouds of the shamayim with power and much esteem. 31 And he shall send His
messengers (angels) with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather
together His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the shamayim to
the other.”- Mattithyahu/Matthew 24:30-31
I will continue on my
next message. But I need to exhort once again do not delay to surrender your
life, past, present, and future into the life of Yehoshua or Yeshua which is
the short form of His all powerful Name.
If you do not know Him personally, you can simply
call upon His Name and He will reveal Himself to you. Your future is in your
own hands.
Shalom
