Are we near the Last Days?

In the past, I have pondered, how close are we to the end of times in respect to our creators time.  After watching several YouTube videos recently, I would like to share what I have learned.  I believe that man has been given 6000 years to live upon this earth, with YAHWEH starting the hands of the clock of time, which I believed started when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden,.  

• Genesis 6:3  And Yahuah said, My Ruach shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. 
• I believe that the "years" referred to here are Jubilees.  A Jubilee is a 50 year time period, so 120 x 50 = 6000.,

I also believe that YAHWEH gave us the creation story to give us a picture of the beginning of creation to the end of time.  He created the heavens and earth in 6 days and rested on the seventh day (Sabbath).  We will need to consider the below verse from Peter to compare our time to the Creators time.

• 2 Peter 3:8  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with Yahuah as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  

• From the creation story, let us look at the days of creation and what they represent.
• Day 1 - Light and Darkness are created.  This is symbolic to the life of Adam.,  who lived nearly 1000 years.   (the first 1000 years)
• Day 2 - Water - This is symbolic to the life of Noah and the Flood, who lived over 900 years,   (the next 1000 years)
• The first two days can be seen as a picture of the FATHER, our creator.
• Day 3 - Trees and Plants were created.  This is symbolic to Abraham and his seed.   (the next 1000 years)
• Day 4 - The Seasons are created and represent illumination.   (the next 1000 years)
• The next two days represent the Son, YESHU'AH.
• Day 5 - The Living Creatures are created.  This is a picture of our Messiah and how we are now new creatures through Him and the sending of the RUACH,   (the next 1000 years)
• Day 6 - Man is created.  This symbolizes that man has come to his fullness.   (the next 1000 years)
• The next two days represent the RUACH,  Man was made new creatures through YESHU'AH and the coming of the RUACH HA'QODESH.
• Day 7 - YAHWEH rested,  This is a picture of the Sabbath and the Millennium where YESHU'AH will reign.   (the next 1000 years)

On day eight (the next 1000 years), we shall begin eternal life in the New Jerusalem.  The eighth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is the "Chet" which symbolizes life and a new beginning.  YESHU'AH died, was buried, and rose from the dead.  There is no clear date as to when YESHU'AH was born, history does indicate it to be around 4 or 3 BCE based upon Herod's reign at that time and the sign in the sky.  YESHUAH began his ministry when he was about thirty years old, the age a Levite would be ordained into the priesthood.  It is also unknow the period of time the YESHU'AH taught until his death.   Based upon my calculations and the 2000 year period until YESU'AH returns, places us sometime between 2024 CE and 2028 CE.

So you may ask, what is the date of the creators calendar from Genesis 1?  Most people do not know this all important date and if you tell them, they still would not know the significance of it.  However, it is amazing that the Free Masons do know.  Every Building has a corner stone and in Rhinelander, WI it reads 1920 and 5920 A.L. (in the Year of Light).

Let us now look at the book of Daniel to provide further witness to the above'

• Daniel 12:11  And from the time of the removal of the daily lifting up, and the giving of the abomination of desolation, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. 
• Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem in the year 597 BCE, which is when the sacrifices were ended, the daily lifting up was ended.
• One day equals One Thousands years according to Peter.
• 597CE + 1290 years = 693CE
• In 693CE the Dome on the Rock was completed on the Temple Mount.
• Daniel 12:12  Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. 
• 693CE + 1335 years = 2028CE

The bible does tell us that no one knows the exact hour or date, but I believe that through Scriptures, YAHEWH is warning his people as to when the Last Day may occur and we should be be prepared and ready, as indicated in the Parable of the Ten Virgins.

• Matthew 24:36  “But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not even the messengers of the heavens, but My Father only.

I pray this blog has opened your eyes as to how close we are to the Last Day and help get your house in order, have oil in your lamps, so that you may be prepared and not caught off guard.  Looking at the world events, we are getting closer and closer to the 1000 year reign of YESHU'AH HA'MASSIACH.

“יהוה (YAHWEH) bless you and guard you; 

יהוה (YAHWEH) make His face shine upon you, and show favor to you; 

יהוה (YAHWEH) lift up His face upon you, and give you peace.” ’ 

Deliverance

With Passover coming upon us, it is time to begin inspecting our lives, a time.  to approach our Messiah, YESHU'AH, with a clean heart.  It is a time to repent and turn away from our sins.  Even though we may have turned away from our sins, we may feel a strong temptation to return to our past.  We may have repented of our sin, but still feel we are being tormented by evil spirits we had invited into our lives by not turning from our sins,  This has been on my heart recently, so I have been studying deliverance, seeking to be delivered from my past addiction. 

First, let us look at the definition of deliverance, first using the dictionary and secondly using a bible concordance.

• Webster's dictionary
• the action of being rescued or set free:
• Strong's Concordance H6405 (pallēṭ)
• escape, liberation

Below are things we must acknowledge about deliverance.

• Deliverance is for followers in Messiah, YESHU'AH.
• Deliverance requires a relationship with YESHU'AH
• Deliverance is for both the new believer and the prodigal son.
• We must acknowledge that there is a clash between two kingdoms.
• haSatan and YAHWEH
• Darkness and light.
• We must recognize their is still an area of our life that has not been submitted completely to YAHWEH..
• This could include generational curses from our ancestors.
• Addictions, sexual immorality, suicide, abuse, anger, etc.
• We need to identify the strongman, the dominant evil spirit, whom other demons could be working under his authority.  
• For example, a stronghold demon could be pornography, with lesser demons being masturbation, selfishness, and liar spirits.
• All evil spirits are denounced and cast in the name of YESHU'AH.  Command the evil spirit to go to the pit set aside for him by YAHWEH,
• Philippians 2:10  that at the Name of  YESHU'AH every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 
• Colossians  3:17  And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Master YESHU'AH, giving thanks to Elohim the Father through Him. 
• Matthew  :28  And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Girgashiym, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.  (29) And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with you, YESHU'AH, Son of Elohiym? Are you come hither to torment us before the time?   (30) And there was a good way off from them a herd of many swine feeding.   (31) So the devils besought him, saying, If you cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.  (32) And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. 
• It is also important to get rid of any unforgiveness.  It must be dealt with also..
• Matthew 18:32  Then his adonai, after that he had called him, said unto him, O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you desired me:   (33)  Should not you also have had compassion on your fellow servant, even as I had pity on you?  (34) And his adonai was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.  (35) So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not everyone his brother their transgressions. 
• It is also Guard your thoughts and capture them.

Below are bible verses regarding deliverance.

• Bible Verses
• Joel 2:32  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yahuah shall be delivered: for in Mount Tsiyon and in Yerushalayim shall be deliverance, as Yahuah has said, and in the remnant whom Yahuah shall call. 
• Mark 16:17  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 
• Luke 10:19  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

What is Truth?

 Do recall when Pontius Pilate was questioning Yeshu'ah after He was arrested?  

• John 18:38 - Pilate said unto him, "What is Truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Yahudiym, and said unto them, "I find in Him no fault at all. 

Have you ever wondered what is truth?  I have always believed that we should let scripture define scripture.  We live in a world that easily will believe in what they are being told and what they hear.   We can go to the internet and easily find many different and contradicting opinions.  What opinion should we believe.?  Who can we trust when we try to form a conclusion?   What is the truth?

Lets look at how Webster's Dictionary defines truth.

• truth

  troo͞th

  noun

  1. Conformity to fact or actuality.
  2. Reality; actuality.
  3. The reality of a situation.

  
  

In this blog, lets explore what scriptures tells us about truth.  The purpose of this blog is not to define truth as it refers to the world's view, but to look at truth from a biblical perspective.

Below are verses from scripture to help us discern what Pilate was saying and why he found no guilt in Yeshu'ah, "What is Truth?"

• John 14:6  Yahusha said unto him, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me."
• Psalm 119:142  Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your Torah is the Truth.  
• Psalm 119:150  They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from your Torah. (151) You are near, O Yahuah; and all your commandments are Truth. 
• 1 John 2:4  He that says, I know him, and guards not his commandments, is a liar, and the Truth is not in him. 
• Hebrews 10:26  For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the Truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins.
• Matthew 5:17  “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets.  I did not come to destroy but to complete. (Footnote: The Law (TORAH) and the Prophets is a term used for the pre-Messianic Scriptures.  The TORAH refers to the first five books of the Scriptures/Bible.)  (18) “For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.

Below are verses from scripture regarding testimony of witnesses.  We should never lean upon our own understanding.

• 1 John 4:1  Beloved ones, do not believe every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of Elohim, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 
• Deuteronomy 19:15  “One witness does not rise up against a man concerning any crookedness or any sin that he commits. At the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses a matter is established. 
• 2 Corinthians  13:1  This is the third time I am coming to you. “By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.”

From the above scriptures, we can see that Yeshu'ah said he was the Truth, and the TORAH is Truth.   Yeshu'ah was the living and talking TORAH and the WORD.

• John 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.  (2) He was in the beginning with Elohim.  (3) All came to be through Him, and without Him not even one came to be that came to be.   (4) In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.  (5) And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 
• Genesis 1:1  In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth.  (2) And the earth came to be formless and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim was moving on the face of the waters.   (3) And Elohim said, “Let light come to be,” and light came to be.   (4) And Elohim saw the light, that it was good. And Elohim separated the light from the darkness.  (5) And Elohim called the light ‘day’ and the darkness He called ‘night.’ And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, one day. 
• If you continue further in Genesis, we see that light was not created until the fourth day.   What could this light be?  

May YAHWEH bless you and may find favor in his eyes.

Update - January 30, 2023

Shalom everyone.  I apologize for my absence recently, as life has been challenging since I last posted.  I started building a cabin in September and have seen many delays to slow down the construction process to getting the roof  completed and shingled before the snow begins to stay.  We finally had the roof completed around Thanksgiving, but we had to clear the roof of snow several times.

My wife's dad passed away on December 14, 2022 after being admitted to the hospital on December 12.  After several tests, he was diagnosed as having advanced , stage of cancer which had progressed to his whole body, plus his organs were beginning to shut down.  He passed away peacefully and without pain.   He went into a sleep on December 13th and did not awaken.  My wife has taken this hard and still is struggling, her dad would have been 95 in January.  We have been living with my wife's mother as she has dementia and osteoporosis.  Our lives have changed and been a challenge.  

During this time, I haver come across some very good YouTube videos to watch.   I have found "The Donkey Speaks" and "Scripture and Prophecy" to have some very good teachings.  Below are links to videos that I enjoyed.

•  The first video is a playlist from 119 ministries, titled the Pauline Paradox.  This playlist looks at the Epistles of the Apostle Paul and explains how TORAH, faith, and grace are all related.  They also explain the the TORAH was not abolished in the New Testament teachings.. 
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUDRqlDZb-Q&list=PLo5QtZ1bPyYbLdyw2AnVKX9tm-b2YJFhQ
• The next 2 videos look deeper into the relationship between Grace, Faith, and Obedience from 119 Ministries also.

May YAHWEH bless you all.  (Numbers 6:24-26)

Why are we so divided as people.

 Below is something that was shared with me by two brothers during a recent phone conversation.  I hope you enjoy this and can glean some fruit from it.   I have also included a YouTube Video link at the bottom if you would prefer to listen to the message instead.

I did not receive this from the Lord, Chris Hall did, and I feel it is important enough to share, I don't take any credit for this at all.

 Christopher M. Hall

Yesterday (5/26/22) at 1:54pm · Dayton, OH

I had a spiritual encounter while in prayer. I was in the Spirit (I have Pentecostal roots) and prayed to God about division in the body and true holiness... and I believe God spoke to me. I was overwhelmed with thoughts and emotions to the point where I had to type it all out. Here's what I believe the LORD told me...

***********************************

ME:

"Why are we so divided?"

"What must I do to be holy?"

GOD:

My child, I will tell you why you are all so divided. It is your religions. They are not of me. Each of you has a list. A list of do’s and don’ts. And each of you think that I authored your respective lists. Baptists have their list, Catholics have their lists, Pentecostals have their lists, Methodists have their lists, Lutherans have their lists, Charismatics have their lists, Messianics have their lists, Episcopals have their lists… each list is different. I’m not a God of confusion. Each list is a doctrine of man. Some say you must keep the Ten Commandments that I delivered to Moses to give to my people. Some of you expand upon these and add feast days, Sabbaths, dietary regulations, linguistic nuances of eccentricity wherein you think you are shown to be wise, yet you are looking foolish in your conceits. You want to be so much like my people… but not like me. You fail to realize… I’m the eternal, the constant, the source; the Alpha, the Omega, the beginning, the ending, the all in all, the great I AM that I AM… I’m not Catholic, Protestant, or Evangelical… neither am I Jewish. I’m GOD. Still, some of you have codified my teachings into a strict body of church law in which you seek to please me by changing your “behavior” … but not your “being”. Teachings of mine were for spiritual development; they were not intended to be turned into dry do’s and don’ts to maintain a religious status quo. Then some of you codified the methods with which I addressed issues in Israel or the first generation of churches... making them “commandments” instead of seeing the spirit behind the reasoning. A reasoning that endures in any context, be it time or culture. Then you added historical traditions established by various religious leaders and founders. You codified congregation structures, financial models, added liturgies, added dietary regulations, added special days of worship, added dress codes, even added prohibitions on both men and women I never required. Each of you has these LISTS! Stop trying to please me by living these man-made lists! They divide you because you measure yourselves against one another based on your respective man-made LISTS. Ask the Pharisee to list exactly what must be done to please me! Let him present his list! And suddenly you’ll see another Pharisee argue against something on the first Pharisee’s list or seek to add something from their list to it!!! Eventually they are all squabbling over which commandments on which list has to be obeyed and which do not! Why? It is because the spirit of legalism leaves you awash in the sea of subjective personal interpretation wherein one man’s interpretation is just as good as another’s. Yet you cling to them because you think they make you “holy”. These lists don’t make you holy. What makes you Holy is… ME.

You see… I am the Vine, and you are the branches. You are called to be living extensions of me… not living extensions of the ancient nation of Israel, your given church, or your given denomination. You are called to be conformed into the image and likeness of Christ… not the image and likeness of your respective church, movement, or denomination. When you live by their LISTS… you are becoming like them… NOT like me.

And so, you ask… How do I become like you? I, the LORD, shall answer you this day. He who has an ear, let him hear!!!...

The answer is in the very nature of my being my beloved. You see… I AM… love. When you are loving, gracious, forgiving, kind, compassionate, patient, long suffering, temperate, and giving… you are being like Me. Do you wish to fulfill “the law”??? DON’T live by its letter. Find its core. Find its essence. Find my reason for delivering said laws in their given contexts. Find its spirit and intent. You’ll discover that it is because I was teaching many different things… but the core was and always has been… MY love. Love me my child. Love me with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. And demonstrate your love for me by loving others as yourself. If you do this, you will have fulfilled the essence of MY law. If there is any other commandment ever brought to your attention, know this… it is fulfilled in this single statement, “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” In this you do no wrong… and in loving… you become like me… the one who is love itself.

So be not swayed by their LISTS. Do not be deceived by their vain and eccentric verbiage. Do not emulate a nation, a denomination, or a church. Instead… emulate Me and you will find rest for your souls. Love Me with all your being… and show me that you love Me by loving others as yourself. The only commandment I give you is this… LOVE. For love will not murder, steal, covet, slander, commit adultery, rage, revenge, or blaspheme. Love will set every day aside as holy… because love seeks to give absolute devotion every single day without end. I am not impressed with your LISTS. First, your lists all differ. And second, you don’t even keep your own lists perfectly! This makes you hypocrites of the worst kind. Why do you do this to yourselves??? Do you really think I’m IMPRESSED by anything you do? Am I impressed by any cherry-picked LIST of commandments you’ve chosen to embrace… at the expense of others that you chose not to? Do you really think I’m going to open the books and judge you by each of your respective lists???! Will I judge according to dress code, hairstyles, feast days, and your labored mispronunciations of an ancient language??? Will I praise you for acting Jewish… even though if the truth were to be told… you don’t have a single drop of Hebrew blood in your body??? No. When you stand before Me… I will only seek to know two things: Did you love me with all your being? Did you seek to show your love for me by loving others as yourself? And you’ll then begin to see how your LISTS hindered you from loving your neighbors. You will see how your lusts, adulteries, thievery, slander, etc. are not rooted in failing to obey a rule on a LIST… but in your failure to LOVE. For love does no harm to the object of its affection.

So, I leave you with this… become like Me. Be conformed into the very image and likeness of Jesus Christ, my beloved Son. And in this you will find true holiness. In this you will find the law of liberty… the law of LOVE. You will have discovered… ME.

Our Creator's appointed day of Rest

 One of the first areas of my Hebrew walk was reading and listening to teachings about the day of rest (Sabbath) appointed to us by our Creator, our Father in Heaven, YAHWAH.  I have learned it is different from what is being taught in our churches today.  Before I begin, I have no problem with people going to church on Sunday to praise and worship our Father in Heaven, my issue is that the church teaches that Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest.  Let's look at Scriptures to see how our Creator defines the day of rest.  I hope we all believe that YAHWEH never changes nor does His Word, the Scriptures.   Even HIs Beloved Son, YASHU'AH, observed the Sabbath, although YASHU'AH renounced the Pharisees for all the additional man-made rules that were added to His Sabbath.

• The best place to start is at the beginning of Creation, Genesis 2: 2-3.
• Gen 2:2  And in the seventh day Elohim completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. 
• Gen 2:3  And Elohim blessed the seventh day and set it apart, because on it He rested from all His work which Elohim in creating had made. 

• The next area I would like to look at is the Exodus, where YAHWEH redeemed his people, the Israelites, and lead them out of Egypt through his faithful servant and Prophet Moses.
• Exodus 16:29  “See, because יהוה (YAHWEH) has given you the Sabbath, therefore He is giving you bread for two days on the sixth day. Let each one stay in his place, do not let anyone go out of his place on the seventh day.” 
• Exodus 16:30  So the people rested on the seventh day.
• The Fourth Commandment given to Moses on the Mount
• Exodus 20:8  “Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart. 
• Exodus 20:9  “Six days you labor, and shall do all your work, 
• Exodus 20:10  but the seventh day is a Sabbath of יהוה (YAHWEH) your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 
• Please note this commandment applied to any servants or strangers who were part of the Exodus.  If we have accepted YAHWEH's Son, YASHU'AH, as our Savior and Redeemer, we have all been grafted into the Olive Tree (a symbol for the nation of Israel, YAHWEH's Promised Land) as Israelites, we have been adopted as children of YAHWEH, sons of Abraham.
• Romans 11:17  And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, have been grafted in among them, and came to share the root and fatness of the olive tree,
• The wild olive tree are the Gentiles, the olive tree is Israel.
• Ephesians 1:4  even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be set-apart and blameless before Him, in love, 
• Ephesians 1:5  having previously ordained us to adoption as sons through יהושע (YASHU'AH) Messiah to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His desire, 
• Galatians 3:7  Know, then, that those who are of belief are sons of Aḇraham. 
• Exodus 20:11  “For in six days יהוה (YAHWEH) made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore יהוה (YAHWEH) blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart. 
• Exodus 31:12  And יהוה (YAHWEH) spoke to Mosheh, saying, 
• Exodus 31:13  “And you, speak to the children of Yisra’ěl, saying, ‘My Sabbaths you are to guard, by all means, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, to know that I, יהוה (YAHWEH), am setting you apart. 
• Exodus 31:14  ‘And you shall guard the Sabbath, for it is set-apart to you. Everyone who profanes it shall certainly be put to death, for anyone who does work on it, that being shall be cut off from among his people. 
• Exo 31:15  ‘Six days work is done, and on the seventh is a Sabbath of rest, set-apart to יהוה (YAHWEH) . Everyone doing work on the Sabbath day shall certainly be put to death. 
• Exodus 31:16  ‘And the children of Yisra’ěl shall guard the Sabbath, to perform the Sabbath throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant. 
• Exodus 31:17  ‘Between Me and the children of Yisra’ěl it is a sign forever. For in six days יהוה (YAHWEH) made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’ ” 
• Next I would like to look at a few verses from Isaiah.  In the verses below, he is referring to the End Times, when New Jerusalem will come upon the Earth and replace modern day Jerusalem.  
• Isaiah 56:1  Thus said יהוה YAHWEH), “Guard right-ruling, and do righteousness, for near is My deliverance to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. 
• Isaiah 56:2  “Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who becomes strong in it, guarding the Sabbath lest he profane it, and guarding his hand from doing any evil. 
• Isaiah 56:3  “And let not the son of the foreigner who has joined himself to יהוה (YAHWEH) speak, saying, ‘יהוה (YAHWEH) has certainly separated me from His people,’ nor let the eunuch say, ‘Look I am a dry tree.’ ” 
• Isaiah 56:4  For thus said יהוה, (YAHWEH) “To the eunuchs who guard My Sabbaths, and have chosen what pleases Me, and are holding onto My covenant: 
• Isaiah 56:5  to them I shall give in My house and within My walls a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters – I give them an everlasting name that is not cut off. 
• Isaiah 56:6  “Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to יהוה (YAHWEH), to serve Him, and to love the Name of יהוה (YAHWEH), to be His servants, all who guard the Sabbath, and not profane it, and are holding onto My covenant – 
• Isaiah 56:7  them I shall bring to My set-apart mountain, and let them rejoice in My house of prayer. Their ascending offerings and their slaughterings are accepted on My slaughter-place, for My house is called a house of prayer for all the peoples.” 
• Isaiah 56:8  The Master יה YAHWEHוה, who gathers the outcasts of Yisra’ěl, declares, “I gather still others to him besides those who are gathered to him.” 
• Isaiah 58:13  “If you do turn back your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My set-apart day, and shall call the Sabbath ’a delight,’ the set-apart day of יהוה (YAHWEH) ‘esteemed,’ and shall esteem it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words, 
• Isaiah 58:14  then you shall delight yourself in יהוה (YAHWEH). And I shall cause you to ride on the heights of the earth, and feed you with the inheritance of Ya‛aqoḇ your father. For the mouth of יהוה (YAHWEH) has spoken!” 
• The last verse comes from the New Testament.
• Mark 2:27  And He (YASHU'AH) said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. 
• Mar 2:28  “So the Son of Aḏam is also Master of the Sabbath.”
• There are many other verses looking at the Sabbath, and I encourage you to also do your own research.  As always, if you are uncertain on what scriptures tells us, turn to YAWEH in prayer and ask Him for clear direction.
• Once I began resting on the Sabbath and spent time in YAHWEH's Word, I feel refreshed and ready for a new week.  I have found blessings in my life since  observing the Sabbath and had great fellowship with fellow believers.   The Sabbath has become my favorite day of the week, which starts with the blowing of the Shofar. I like to listen to Matthew Nolan (Torah to the Tribes) and Adam Fink (Parable of the Vineyard) on YouTube.  
• As a side note, the Sabbath begins on Friday at sunset and ends at sunset on Saturday.  Search my blog for the Last week of YASHU'AS's life on Earth, which has scriptural verses explaining this.
• I pray this blog enlightens and encourages you in your walk with our Creator and His Beloved Son..  As mentioned above, turn to prayer if you need guidance regarding His Sabbath, I also encourage to do your own research on the Sabbath (Sabaoth, Shabbat ).

“יהוה (YAHWEH) bless you and guard you;

The Last Week of YAHUSHA's life - Passion Week

One area that troubled me when I began my Hebraic walk, was the the last week of Yahusha's life on this earth, commonly referred to as Passion Week..  In Scripture, Yahusha gives a clue in Matthew 12:40, “For as Yonah was three days and three nights in the stomach of the great fish, so shall the Son of Aḏam be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."    This would indicate that Yahusha would be in the grave for 72 hours.  If Yahusha died on Good Friday and placed in the grave the same day, then arose on early Sunday morning, we do not see a 72 hour period.

• Before I begin, lets look at how a Hebrew day is defined in Scriptures.  The one thing we will all agree upon is that night and day is composed of 24 hours.    Lets look at scripture to see how a 24 hour day is defined.
• Genesis 1:5 -> And Elohim called the light ‘day’ and the darkness He called ‘night.’ And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, one day. 
• John 11:9 ->  יהושע (YAHUSHA) answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 
• John 9:4 -> It is necessary for Me to work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day – night is coming, when no one is able to work. 
• Jeremiah 6:4 -> “Set apart battle against her. Arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us, for the day goes away, for the shadows of the evening are lengthening. 
• Based upon the scripture verses above:
• A 24 hour period consists of darkness (night) and light (day).
• The day consists of morning and evening.   A twelve hour day would be reached at the equinoxes, as there would be twelve hours of light and twelve hours of light. 
• The Hebrew day begins at sunset and goes until the sunset of the following day, based upon the Creation day.
• Link showing the breakdown of a Hebrew 24 hour day.
• https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z4cEkdMhdVDEpV65ghr-whkGUYe51MFq/view?usp=sharing
• Next we need to establish fixed points to establish a timeline for YAHUSHA's last week upon this earth.
• The Passover (Pěsaḥ - the sacrificing of the Passover Lamb)
• Leviticus 23:5 - 8
• (5) ‘In the first new moon, on the fourteenth day of the new moon, between the evenings, is the Pěsaḥ to יהוה (YAHUAH).    (6)  ‘And on the fifteenth day of this new moon is the Festival of Matzot (Unleavened Bread) to יהוה (YAHUAH) – seven days you eat unleavened bread.    (7)  ‘On the first day you have a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work.   (8)  ‘And you shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה (YAHUAH) for seven days. On the seventh day is a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work.’ 
• Feast of First Fruits 
•  Leviticus 23:11 -> ‘And he shall wave the sheaf before יהוה (YAHUAH) , for your acceptance. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest waves it. 
• The Hebrew Week
• Genesis 2:2 -> And in the seventh day  Elohim completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.
• Exodus 20: 8 - 11 ->   (8) “Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart.   (9) “Six days you labor, and shall do all your work,   (10) but the seventh day is a Sabbath of יהוה (YAHUAH) your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.   (11)  “For in six days יהוה (YAHUAH) made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore יהוה (YAHUAH) blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart. 
• Mary (Miryam) of Maḡdala (Magdalene) enters YAHUSHA's grave.
• And on day one of the week Miryam from Maḡdala came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. 
• Based upon the above verses from Scriptures, the link below shows the timeline I believe occurred for YAHUSHA to be in the grave 3 nights and 3 days.
• https://drive.google.com/file/d/16gzQzgob0uMCQpVE-3KH5taLDVldjQs4/view?usp=sharing 

Again, this is what I believe to be the timeline.  Whether you agree or disagree, you should test the ruach on your own, instead of rely on what someone has taught You in the past.   Please feel free to leave comments regarding your thoughts.

יהוה bless you and guard you; 

יהוה make His face shine upon you, and show favor to you; 

יהוה lift up His face upon you, and give you peace. 

What is Evil?

There are many other verses about evil, you can do you own internet search or look at a Bible Concordance.  Please consider your words and actions with others.  Are you causing suffering, injury, ruin, pain, harm or destruction to others?

יהוה (YAHUAH) bless you and guard you; 

יהוה (YAHUAH) make His face shine upon you, and show favor to you; 

יהוה (YAHUAH) lift up His face upon you, and give you peace. 

What is Truth?

 This morning, while I was reading 1 John 2, I was reminded of Pontius Pilate, when he asked YAHUSHA, "What is Truth?" (John 18:38).   So what is Truth?   I believe we should let Scriptures define Scriptures and use the below verses to define Truth.

• Psalm 119:142 ->  Your righteousness is righteousness forever, And Your Torah is truth. 
• John 14:6 -> יהושע (YAHUSHA) said to him, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 
• John 8:32 -> and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” 
• 2 Timothy 2:15 -> Do your utmost to present yourself approved to Elohim, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly handling the Word of Truth. 
• Ephesians 6:14 ->  Stand, then, having girded your waist with truth, (Isaiah 11:5) and having put on the breastplate of righteousness (Isaiah 59:17),
• Below is a link to a Blog which I had posted about YAHUSHA being the living and walking Torah.    YAHUSHA - the Living and Walking TORAH

Looking at the above definitions, let's look at the verses from 1 John 2: 3-6.

• 1 John 2:2  And He Himself is an atoning offering for our sins, and not for ours only but also for all the world.
• 1 John 2:3  And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His commands. (See  1 John 3:6.) 
• 1 John 2:4  The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 
• 1 John 2:5  But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of Elohim has been perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. (See Genesis 17:1, Psalm 119:1, Matthew 5:48,  1 John 3:24). 
• 1 John 2:6  The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked. 

Does this give you a new perspective on verses from 1 John 2?  Brothers and Sisters, we are living in a time where we need to know the truth and be obedient to YAHUAH's Word.  Find YAHUSHA, the Living and Walking Torah,  while You can, the day is coming when the door will be closed.

יהוה (YAHUAH) bless you and guard you; 

יהוה (YAHUAH) make His face shine upon you, and show favor to you; 

יהוה (YAHUAH) lift up His face upon you, and give you peace. 

YAHUSHA - The Living and Walking TORAH

Let us take a look at the below verse from John 14:6, which contains a powerful message, in 3 short phrases.   

• John 14: 6 :יהושע (YAHUSHA) said to him, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 
• YAHUSHA says that "I am the Way"
• Psalm 119:1 - > Blessed are the perfect in the way, Who walk in the Torah of יהוה (YAHUAH)! 
• "YAHUSHA says that "I am the Truth" 
• Psalm 119:142 -> Your righteousness is righteousness forever, And Your Torah is truth.
• Psalm 119:160 -> The sum of Your word is truth, And all Your righteous right-rulings are forever. 
• YAHUSHA says that "I am the Life"
• Proverbs 13:4 -> The Torah of the wise is a fountain of life, Turning one away from the snares of death. 
• This can be seen in Isaiah 2:2-4, which is a prophecy referring to YAHUSHA.
• Isaiah 2:2-4 -> And it shall be in the latter days that the mountain of the House of יהוה (YAHUAH) is established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills. And all nations shall flow to it.   (3) And many peoples shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of יהוה (YAHUAH), to the House of the Elohim of Ya‛aqoḇ (Jacob), and let Him teach us His ways, and let us walk in His paths, for out of Tsiyon comes forth the Torah, and the Word of יהוה (YAHUAH) from Yerushalayim.”   (4) And He shall judge between the nations, and shall reprove many peoples. And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither teach battle any more. 
• From this verse we see the phrase,  Word of יהוה (YAHUAH), which is defined in Revelation 19:13., which points to the WORD of YAHUAH being YAHUSHA, our MASSIACH (Messiah).
• and having been dressed in a robe dipped in blood – and His Name is called: The Word of יהוה (YAHUAH).

Based upon the Bible verses from above, we can see YAHUSHA being the Word of Truth, the Walking Torah.   At the end, YAHUSHA says "No one comes to the Father except through Me."

• 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 - > (13) Now, brothers, we do not wish you to be ignorant concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you be sad as others who have no expectation. (14) For if we believe that יהושע (YAHUSHA) died and rose again, so also Elohim shall bring with Him those who sleep in יהושע (YAHUSHA). (15) For this we say to you by the word of the Master, that we, the living who are left over at the coming of the Master shall in no way go before those who are asleep. (16) Because the Master Himself shall come down from heaven with a shout, with the voice of a chief messenger, and with the trumpet of Elohim, and the dead in Messiah shall rise first. (17) Then we, the living who are left over, shall be caught away together with them in the clouds to meet the Master in the air – and so we shall always be with the Master.

Finally, I would like to leave you with something to ponder upon.   Through my walk, I have learned, "in order to understand the beginning, you need to understand the end.  In order to understand the end, you need to understand the beginning.  Everything in the Bible is cyclical, it goes around in a complete circle.   Lets look at the creation story, and ponder what Scripture is telling us.   Let us look at the following verses from Bere'shiyth (In the Beginning / Genesis).

• Genesis 1:1-3 -> In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth.   (2) And the earth came to be formless and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim was moving on the face of the waters. (3) And Elohim said, “Let light come to be,” and light came to be. 
• Genesis 1::14:17 - > And Elohim said, “Let lights come to be in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and appointed times, and for days and years,  (15)  and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.” And it came to be so.   (16)  And Elohim made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars.   (17)  And Elohim set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 
• John1:1-5 ->  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.   (2)  He was in the beginning with Elohim.   (3)  All came to be through Him, and without Him not even one came to be that came to be. (4) In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.   (5)  And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 

If the sun and the moon were not created until day 4 of creation, what is the Light referred to on day 1.   Let me know your thoughts.

“יהוה (YAHUAH) bless you and guard you; 

יהוה (YAHUAH) make His face shine upon you, and show favor to you; 

יהוה (YAHUAH) lift up His face upon you, and give you peace.” ’

Will you enter Through the Gates of Heaven?

Brothers and Sisters, considering the current events taking place, have you ever wondered about your salvation?   Have you pondered upon where you will be spending Eternal Life?  Have you read about the End of Times, the Day of ADONI (the LORD), or the times of Ya'aqoḇ's (Jacob's) trouble in the Bible?   I hope this writing will open your eyes to what you may have been taught and what Scriptures tells us.

Let's examine the Bible verses below from Matthew 7:21-23 (taken from the TS2009 Bible), 

• Mat 7:21  “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens. 
• Mat 7:22  “Many shall say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?’ 
• Mat 7:23  “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!’ 

•  There are some keywords that we need to look at:
• Master, comes from the Greek word, kyrios (G2962).   The word, kyrios, is translated into: LORD/Lord/lord, Master/master, and Sir/sir.  Some Bible translations will also have ADONI.
•  He to whom a person or thing belongs, about which he has power of deciding; master, lord
• The possessor and disposer of a thing
• The owner; one who has control of the person, the master
• In the state: the sovereign, prince, chief, the Roman emperor
• Is a title of honor expressive of respect and reverence, with which servants greet their master
• This title is given to: YAHUAH and YAHUSHA HA'MASSIACH.
• Lawlessness comes from the Greek word anomia (G458).  The word, anomia is translated into: iniquity, unrighteousness, transgress the law, transgression of the law.
•  The condition of without law
• because ignorant of it
• because of violating it
• Contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness

• Now that we have the keywords defined, lets look at Matthew 7:21 and 22.   Who are those that would call YAHUSHA, Master, Master?  Would an atheist call our savior, YAHUSHA, Master, Master?  Would an unbeliever call YAHUSHA, Master, Master?  This could only refer to those who call upon the Saviors name.
• John 3:16-17 -> “For Elohim so loved the world that He gave His only brought-forth Son, so that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but possess everlasting life. 
• John 3:17  “For Elohim did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 
• Romans 10:31 -> For “everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה (YAHUAH) shall be saved.”
• Acts 2:21 -> ‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה (YAHUAH) shall be saved.’
• Joel 2:32 -> “And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה (YAHUAH) shall be delivered. For on Mount Tsiyon (Zion)  and in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) there shall be an escape as יהוה (YAHUAH) has said, and among the survivors whom יהוה (YAHUAH) calls.

• But wait, verse 23 says, “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!’  To answer this, we need to go back to our definition of lawlessness to determine who are those who work lawlessness.
• Let's look at one more verse, Revelation 22:14.
•   “Blessed are those doing His commands,  so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of life, and to enter through the gates into the city. 
• Matthew 19:17 -> And He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One – Elohim. But if you wish to enter into life, guard the commands.”
• John 12:50 -> “And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, as the Father has said to Me, so I speak.”
• Command/Commandments comes from the Greek word entole (G1785).   The word entole is translated into commandment(s), precept(s).
• From the definition of lawlessness, we can see this group of people are those who do not keep YAHUAH's commandments.   The Law (Torah) was given to Moses on Mount Horeb, which includes both the 10 Commandments (Exodus 20:2-17) and the Law of Moses (Torah - Exodus 20:18-23:19). 
• Are we making the seventh day of the week (the Sabbath) our day of rest or following the church, making the first day of the week (Sunday) as our day of rest?  It is fine to worship on Sunday, but we are commanded to do no work or business on the Sabbath.
• Are we keeping the appointed 7 Feasts (Moedim) as commanded by YAHUAH or celebrating pagan holidays?
• Feast of Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles
• You can do your own research on Halloween, Christmas, and Easter, which have pagan origins.
• Also refer to the below links, which are included on the Favorite YouTube Videos.

• https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeBJnAb_BDmmWHYaSvsFI58g9pgYxhtMN
• Conclusion
• There will be three groups of people on this Earth at the End of Times.
• The first group are those who do not call on or do not believe in YAHUSHA.   They shall be sent to hell, a place reserved for ha'satan and his demons, where there will be tormenting and mashing of teeth.   I pray we do not fall into this group.
• The last two groups will be those who call on and believe in YAHUSHA, who shall have eternal life in the New Jerusalem.
• Those who are obedient and obey the TORAH, shall be given keys to enter the gates of Heaven, the New Jerusalem.
• Those who will not be allowed to enter the gates, will be those who are workers of iniquity, transgressors, and lawlessness (Torah-less)
• Related bible verses: 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Galatians 5:21, Ephesians 5:3-8, Romans 1:29-31, and 1 Timothy 1:9-10
• It is not my position to judge others, as this will be done on Judgement Day by YAHUSHA, our Savior and Redeemer.  I ask you to pray to YAHUAH and ask him for wisdom, guidance, and instruction on this topic.  I do not want to make this to long, but to open your eyes to what I have learned, and you would research this as well.  I am still learning about this journey, we are all learning and journeying together.

• Numbers 6:24-36 -> 
• “יהוה (YAHUAH) bless you and guard you; 
• יהוה (YAHUAH) make His face shine upon you, and show favor to you; 
• יהוה (YAHUAH) lift up His face upon you, and give you peace.” ’

There is a way that seems right to man

Scriptural Definitions and Boundaries

With my first writing, I would like to set scriptural definitions and boundaries that will be used in future writings.  I believe we should let scriptures define scriptures, we need to test the RUACH of all things we hear against scriptures.   All verses come from "the Scriptures 2009" version.

• What is Scripture? (YAHUSHA's/Jesus's definition).
• Luke 24:44    And He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all have to be filled that were written in the Torah of Mosheh (Moses) and the Prophets and the Tehillim (Psalms) concerning Me.”
• Luke 24:45   Then He (YAHUSHA) opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
• TORAH --- the Instructions in YAHUAH's (YHWH) Righteousness
• 2 Timothy 3:16   All Scripture is breathed out by Elohim (God/YAHUAH) and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for setting straight, for instruction in righteousness, 
• Romans 10:5   For Moshe writes about the righteousness which is of the Torah (the Law, the first five books of the Old Testament), “The man who does these shall live by them.” (see Leviticus 18:5)
• YHWH (YAHUAH) Does not Change - Ever
• Hebrews 13:8   יהושע Messiah (YAHUSHA HA'MASSIACH) is the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
• Malachi 3:6   “For I am יהוה (YAHUAH) , I shall not change, and you, O sons of Ya‛aqoḇ (Jacob/Israel), shall not come to an end. 
• YHWH (YAHUAH) Does not Lie
• Numbers 23:19   Ěl (YAHUAH) is not a man, to lie; nor a son of man, to repent! Has He said, and would He not do it; or spoken, and would not confirm it? 
• It is Impossible for the Scriptures to be broken
• John 10:35   “If He called them elohim (gods), to whom the word of Elohim (YAHUAH/God)  came – and it is impossible for the Scripture to be broken –
• The Torah is perfect
• Psalm 19:7   The Torah of יהוה (YAHUAH) is perfect, bringing back the being; The witness of יהוה (YAHUAH) is trustworthy, making wise the simple; 
• Perfect (H8549) is the English word for the Hebrew word taw'meem (tamiym): without spot, undefiled, upright(-ly), whole.
• Torah is Established
• Romans 3:31   Do we then nullify the Torah through the belief? Let it not be! On the contrary, we establish the Torah.
• Kings James Version: Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
• YAHUSHA Created All Things
• Ephesians 3:9   and to make all see how this secret is administered, which for ages past has been hidden in Elohim who created all through יהושע (YAHUSHA) Messiah.
• Colossians 1:16  Because in Him were created all that are in the heavens and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or rulerships or principalities or authorities – all have been created through Him and for Him. 
• We Go Astray not Knowing the Scriptures
• Matthew 22:29   And יהושע (YAHUSHA) answering, said to them, “You go astray, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of Elohim (YAHUAH).
• A Righteous Definition (Torah Keeping)
• Isaiah 51:7   “Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, a people in whose heart is My Torah: do not fear the reproach of men, nor be afraid of their revilings.
• A Rebellion Definition (Refusing to Hear Torah)
• Isaiah 30:9   that this is a rebellious people, lying children, children who refuse to hear the Torah of יהוה, (YAHUAH) 
• "The Wrong" Definition (Forsaking the Torah)
• Psalm 119:53   Rage has seized me because of the wrong (wicked) who forsake Your Torah.
• It is Righteous for Us to Guard all His Commands
• Deuteronomy 6:24   And יהוה (YAHUAH) commanded us to do all these laws, to fear יהוה (YAHUAH) our Elohim, for our good always, to keep us alive, as it is today.
• Deuteronomy 6:25   And it is righteousness for us when we guard to do all this command before יהוה (YAHUAH) our Elohim, as He has commanded us.’
• Confirmed by the Prophets
• Amos 3:7   For the Master יהוה (YAHUAH) does no matter unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. 
• Everything in the Renewed Covenant Writings (the New Testament) must be confirmed by the Prophets
• Safety Net
• Litmus Test
• A Definition of Sin (Torah breaking, Lawlessness, Transgression, Iniquity)
• 1 John 3:4   Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. (without Torah)
• Isaiah 42:24   ho gave Ya‛aqoḇ (Jacob) for plunder, and Yisra’ěl (Israel) to the robbers? Was it not יהוה, (YAHUAH) He against whom we sinned? For they would not walk in His ways, and they did not obey His Torah! 
• Not obeying Torah is Lawlessness
• We are to Walk the Ancient Paths
• Jeremiah 6:16   Thus said יהוה (YAHUAH) , “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and find rest for yourselves. But they said, ‘We do not walk in it.’ 
• Jeremiah 18:15   “But My people have forgotten Me, they have burned incense to what is false, and they have stumbled from their ways, from the ancient paths, to walk in bypaths and not on a highway,

  STRONGS G458:

  ἀνομία, -ας, ἡ, (ἄνομος);
  1. properly, the condition of one without law — either because ignorant of it, or because violating it.
  2. contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness:
• The Desire of YAHUAH.
•  Matthew 7:21   “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens.
• Romans 2:18   and know the desire of Elohim, and approve what is superior, being instructed out of the Torah, 
• Romans 2:13   For not the hearers of the Torah are righteous in the sight of Elohim, but the doers of the Torah shall be declared right.
• Eternal Life Requires Belief and Obedience
• John 3:36    “He who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Elohim remains on him.”   
• James 2:17   So also belief, if it does not have works, is in itself dead. 
• James 2:18   But someone might say, “You have belief, and I have works.” Show me your belief without your works, and I shall show you my belief by my works.
• James 2:24   You see, then, that a man is declared right by works, and not by belief alone.
• James 2:26   For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also the belief is dead without the works.   
• From a Hebrew perspective, if you say you believe, then it is automatically assumed that you obey.   Belief gets you into the Kingdom.   Obedience keeps you inside of the Kingdom.   Obedience proves your Belief.
• Revelation 22:14
• The Final Judgement
• Yahushua is the Right Hand of the Father YAHUAH.   He created the heavens and the earth, and He will judge the world in Righteousness.   Isaiah 51:7 states that righteousness is Torah in your heart and Isaiah 30:9 states that rebellion is turning your back on the Torah.
• Acts 17:31   because He has set a day on which He is going to judge the world in righteousness by a Man whom He has appointed, having given proof of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”
• Yahushua is this Righteous Judge, and the following verses provide a brief glimpse of how He will judge all men at the end of time:
• John 5:44 “How are you able to believe, when you are receiving esteem from one another, and the esteem that is from the only Elohim you do not seek? 
• John 5:45  “Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Mosheh (the Torah), in whom you have set your expectation. 
• John 5:46  “For if you believed Mosheh (the Torah), you would have believed Me, since he wrote about Me (the walking and talking Torah). 
• John 5:47  “But if you do not believe his writings (the Torah of Mosheh), how shall you believe My words (the walking and Talking Torah)?”
• Warning for Yude (Jude)
• Jude 1:3   Beloved ones, making all haste to write to you concerning our common deliverance, I felt the necessity to write to you urging you to earnestly contend for the belief which was once for all delivered to the set-apart ones. 
• Jude 1:4   For certain men have slipped in, whose judgment was written about long ago, wicked ones perverting the favor of our Elohim for indecency, and denying the only Master יהוה (Yahuah) and our Master יהושע (Yahushua) Messiah.
• Lawlessness -> Matt 13, 2 Thes 2
• Warning from Keepha (Peter)
• 2 Peter 3:15   and reckon the patience of our Master as deliverance, as also our beloved brother Sha’ul (Paul) wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him,    
• 2 Peter 3:16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them concerning these matters, in which some are hard to understand, which those who are untaught and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do also the other Scriptures.  
• 1 Corinthians 11:6
• 2 Peter 3:17   You, then, beloved ones, being forewarned, watch, lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the delusion of the lawless, (Torahless)
• What YAHUAH declares Unclean - Remains Unclean
• Job 14:4   Who brings the clean out of the unclean? No one! 
• Saved by Faith - Obedience Proves your Faith
• John 3:36   “He who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Elohim remains on him.” 
• James 2:17  So also belief, if it does not have works, is in itself dead.  
• James 2:18   But someone might say, “You have belief, and I have works.” Show me your belief without your works, and I shall show you my belief by my works. 
• Sha'ul's View of Torah
• Romans 7:12   So that the Torah truly is set-apart, and the command set-apart, and righteous, and good. 
• Romans 7:16   But if I do what I do not wish, I agree with the Torah that it is good. 
• Romans 7:22   For I delight in the Torah of Elohim according to the inward man,
• Ps 119:16
• Romans 8:4   so that the righteousness of the Torah should be completed in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 
• Acts 21:24   “Take them and be cleansed with them, and pay their expenses so that they shave their heads. And all shall know that what they have been informed about you is not so, but that you yourself also walk orderly, keeping the Torah.
• Quote from Matthew Nolan, Torah to the Tribes, from his Mystery of the Melchizedek series, Part 1 - The Introduction.
• Grace is the empowerment to live a holy and righteous life in a sick and twisted world.   The Western Christian Church isn't under YAHUAH's grace ... they're under His mercy ... the withholding of deserved judgment!   If they where under His grace they wouldn't be violating the law... because grace empowers you to keep the law and live a holy, just, righteous life.   Grace is what empowers you to keep the commandment, it doesn't allow you to live a lawless life of Church tradition.   Grace is what convicts us to continue on to our higher calling?   The Malki (the Kingdom of YAHUAH) Tzedik (Righteousness) covenant calling!
