Thus said the Lord GOD to these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live: 6 And I will lay sinews on you and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the LORD Body Soul and Spirit Narriw Path Worship Spirit and Truth Soul, Spirit & Body _cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Assenti mill-ġisem preżenti ma 'Jehovah. Nemmen li l-Iskrittura qed tgħidilna li meta mmutu, Jehovah jieħu lura l-ispirtu Tiegħu n-nifs tal-ħajja, erwieħna jorqdu u ġisimna jitmermer sakemm niġu rxoxtati jew għall-ħajja jew għat-tieni mewt. Jekk irxoxt għall-ħajja, se ningħataw ġisem ġdid kif indikat fil-versi li jmiss. Temmin Li Mietu 1 Tessalonikin 4:13 Ħuti, ma rridux li ma tkunx infurmata dwar dawk li jorqdu fil-mewt, sabiex ma tnikketx bħall-bqija tal-bnedmin, min m'għandux tama? 14 Għax aħna nemmnu li Yeshua miet u qam mill-ġdid, u għalhekk nemmnu li Alla se jġib ma Yeshua lil dawk li raqdu fih. 15 Skond il-kelma tal-Mulej, ngħidulkom li aħna li għadna ħajjin, li nibqgħu sal-miġja tal-Mulej, żgur li mhux se niqabdu lil dawk li raqdu. 16 Għax il-Mulej innifsu jinżel mis-sema, bi kmand qawwi, bil-leħen tal-arkanġlu u bis-sejħiet tat-tromba ta’ Alla, u l-mejtin fi Kristu jqumu l-ewwel.17 Wara dan, aħna li għadna ħajjin u li aħna xellug se jinqabad flimkien magħhom fis-sħab biex jiltaqgħu mal-Mulej fl-arja. U għalhekk, inkunu mal-Mulej Għal Dejjem. 18 Għalhekk iħeġġu lil xulxin b’dan il-kliem. Assigurazzjoni tal-Qawmien 1 Korintin 15:49 U bħalma nġorru x-xbieha tal-bniedem ta’ l-art, hekk ukoll għandna nġorru x-xbieha tal-bniedem tas-sema.50 Jiena nistqarrilkom, ħuti, li l-laħam u d-demm ma jistgħux jirtu s-saltna ta’ Alla. lanqas dak li jitħassru ma jiret dak li ma jitħassarx. 51 Isma’, ngħidilkom misteru: Mhux se norqdu lkoll, imma lkoll se nbiddlu— 52 f’leħħa, f’teptip ta’ għajn, fuq l-aħħar tromba. Għax iddoqq it-tromba, il-mejtin se jqumu li ma jitħassrux, u aħna ninbidlu. 53 Għax dak li jitħassru jrid jilbes b’dak li ma jitħassarx, u l-mortali bl-immortalità. 54 Meta dak li jistaʼ jitħassru jkun liebes b’dak li ma jitħassarx, u l- mortali bl- immortalità, allura l- kliem li hemm miktub se jseħħ: “Il- mewt inbelgħet fir- rebħa.” 2 Korintin 5:8 Għax nafu li jekk id-dar tagħna fuq l-art, din it-tinda, tinqered, għandna bini mingħand Alla, dar mhux magħmula bl-idejn, eterna fis-smewwiet. 2 Għax b’dan niġnu, billi nixtiequ bil- ħerqa li nilbsu l- abitazzjoni tagħna li hi mis- sema, 3 jekk tassew, wara li konna nilbsu, ma nsibux għarwenin. 4 Għax aħna, li qegħdin f’din it-tinda, nibqgħu mtaqqlin, mhux għax irridu nilbsu, imma nilbsu aktar, biex il-mortalità tinbela’ mill-ħajja. 5 Issa Hu li ħejjelna għal dan stess hu Alla, li tana wkoll l-Ispirtu bħala garanzija. 6 Għalhekk aħna dejjem kunfidenti, billi nafu li waqt li nkunu d-dar fil-ġisem aħna neqsin mill-Mulej. 7 Għax aħna nimxu bil-fidi, mhux bil-vista. 8 Aħna fiduċjużi, iva, kuntenti pjuttost li nkunu assenti mill-ġisem u li nkunu preżenti mal-Mulej. 9 Għalhekk aħna nagħmluha l-għan tagħna, kemm jekk preżenti jew assenti, li nogħġbuh. 10 Għax irridu nidhru lkoll quddiem is-seġġ tal-ġudizzju taʼ Kristu, biex kull wieħed jirċievi l-affarijiet li saru fil-ġisem, skond dak li jkun għamel, sew jekk tajjeb jew ħażin. 11 Billi nafu, għalhekk, it-terrur tal-Mulej, aħna nipperswadu lill-bnedmin; imma aħna magħrufa sew lil Alla, u jien ukoll nafda li huwa magħruf sew fil-kuxjenza tagħkom. Il-Ħames Siġill: L-Għajta tal-Martri Apokalissi 6:9 Meta fetaħ il-ħames siġill, rajt taħt l-artal l-erwieħ ta’ dawk li kienu nqatlu minħabba l-kelma ta’ Alla u għax-xhieda li kellhom.10 U għajjat leħen qawwi, u jgħid: “Sakemm, Mulej, qaddis u veru, sakemm int tiġġudika u tivvendika demmna fuq dawk li jgħammru fuq l-art?” 11 Imbagħad ingħatat libsa bajda lil kull wieħed minnhom; u kien qalilhom li għandhom jistrieħu ftit ieħor, sakemm jitlesta kemm in-numru ta’ sħabhom qaddejja kif ukoll ħuthom, li kienu se jinqatlu kif kienu? U l-ispirtu jerġa’ lura għand Alla Ekkleżjasti 12:5 Għax il-bniedem imur f'daru li ddum għal dejjem, filwaqt li n-nies mimlijin in-niket imorru fit-triq. 6 Ftakar fih qabel ma jinkiser il-ħabel tal-fidda tal-ħajja u l-platt tad-deheb jitgħaffeġ. Ftakar lilu qabel ma titkisser il-borma ħdejn il-bir u titfarrak ir-rota ħdejn il-ħofra. 7 Imbagħad it-trab jerġaʼ lura lejn l- art kif kien. U l-ispirtu jerġa’ lura għand Alla li tah Ġenesi 2:7 Imbagħad il-Mulej Alla sawwar lill-bniedem mit-trab tal-art. Huwa nefaħ in-nifs tal-ħajja fi mnifsejn ir-raġel, u r-raġel sar bniedem ħajja. Job 27:3 3 Il-ħin kollu nifs tiegħi huwa fija, u l-ispirtu ta 'Alla fil-imnieħer tiegħi; Job 33:4 4 L-ispirtu ta 'Alla għamel lili, u n-nifs ta' l-Almighty hath tatni l-ħajja. Ecclesiastes 12:7 7 Imbagħad it-trab jerġa 'lura lejn l-art kif kien: u l-ispirtu għandu jerġa' lura lejn Alla li taha. 1 Korintin 2:11 Għax liema bniedem jaf l-affarijiet tal-bniedem, ħlief l-ispirtu tal-bniedem li hu fih? anki hekk l-affarijiet ta 'Alla ma jafu ebda bniedem, ħlief l-Ispirtu ta' Alla. Eżekjel 37:5-6 Hekk qal il-Mulej Alla lil dawn l-għadam; Ara, nagħmel in-nifs jidħol fik, u int tgħix: 6 U npoġġi fuqkom is-snien, u nġib il-laħam fuqkom, u ngħattik bil-ġilda, u npoġġi n-nifs fik, u tgħix; u tkunu tafu li jien il-Mulej.

Ġwanni 3:13 Ħadd ma tela’ s-sema ħlief Hu li niżel mis-sema, jiġifieri Bin il-bniedem li hu fis-sema. 2 Kronaki 21:12 U daħletlu ittra mingħand il-profeta Elija, li tgħid, (madwar 10 snin wara, din l-ittra turi li hu (Elija) ma ttieħedx is-sema) Hekk jgħid il- Mulej Alla ta’ missierek David: Għax int ma mxix fit-toroq ta’ Ġeħosafat missierek, jew fit-toroq ta’ Asa sultan ta’ Ġuda, Bniedem għani u Lazzru ● Luqa 16:19-23 “Kien hemm raġel għani li kien liebes vjola u bjankerija fina u kien sejjer b’mod sumptuż kuljum. 20 Imma kien hemm ċertu tallab jismu Lazzru, mimli feriti, li kien imqiegħed ħdejn il-bieb tiegħu, 21 xtaq li jiekol bil-frak li waqaʼ minn fuq il-mejda tas-sinjur. Barra minn hekk, il-klieb ġew u lagħqu selħiet tiegħu. 22 Hekk kien li t-tallab miet, u ġie mġarrab mill-anġli Ġnus Abraham. Ir-raġel għani wkoll miet u ġie midfun. 23 U kien fit-torment f’Hades, għolla għajnejh u ra lil Abraham ’il bogħod, u lil Lazzru f’ġidu. Luqa 16:29 Abraham qallu: “Għandhom Mosè u l-profeti; ħallihom jisimgħuhom.” 30 U qal: “Le, missier Abraham; imma jekk wieħed imur lejhom mill-imwiet, jindmu.’”31 Imma hu qallu: “Jekk ma jisimgħux lil Mosè u lill-profeti, lanqas ma jkunu konvinti jekk wieħed iqum mill-imwiet.” Ħalliel fuq is-salib Luqa 23: 39-42 Imbagħad qal lil Ġesù: “Mulej, ftakar fija meta tidħol fis-saltna tiegħek.” 43 U Ġesù qallu: “Tassew, ngħidlek, illum,,,,, int tkun ma’ Jien fil-Ġenna.” Żomm dan f'moħħok Kitbiet Ebrajk ma kellhomx virgoli. Jgħid “ġenna”, mhux ġenna. Il-ħalliel qal, “Ftakar fija meta tidħol fis-saltna tiegħek.” Ġwanni 20:17 Qalilha Yeshua: “Twaħħalx miegħi, għax għadni ma tlajtx għand Missieri; imma mur għand ħuti u għidilhom: “Jien qed nitla’ għand Missieri u Missierkom, u għand Alla tiegħi u Alla tagħkom.” Għax bħalma Ġona kien tlett ijiem u tlett iljieli f’żaqq il-ħuta l-kbira, hekk Bin il-bniedem Se jkun tlett ijiem u tlett iljieli fil-qalba tal-art. assenti mill-ġisem preżenti ma 'Jehovah.

God only gives His Spirit to those who keep His commandments Narrow way Living in the Spirit Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.… Romans 8:9 which states that God gives the Holy Spirit to those who obey Him. This principle emphasizes that a willing, obedient heart is a key condition for receiving and experiencing the empowering presence of the Spirit. Acts 5:32, But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Here is a clear Yes/No self-assessment to help determine if you are currently walking in the Spirit (according to the Bible — Galatians 5:16-25, Romans 8:5-14). “Am I Walking in the Spirit?” Test Answer Yes or No honestly to each: create a test 1 John 3:4 (KJV), the verse reads: "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." Answer Yes or No honestly to each question to examine your heart. The "Walking in the Spirit" Deep Reflection Test Spiritual Deafness: When Scripture or a sermon convicts me of a specific change I need to make, do I listen and act immediately, rather than tuning it out or making excuses to justify myself? The Internal Battle: When I am tempted to break one of God’s commandments (in my thoughts, words, or actions), do I feel an immediate, sharp internal friction from the Holy Spirit urging me to stop? Worship in Spirit: Is my private devotion—when absolutely nobody else is looking or listening—just as earnest, real, and passionate as my public religious behavior? Spiritual Blindness : Am I quick to notice and convict myself of my own hidden sins (like pride, resentment, or greed), rather than just pointing out the obvious sins of the world around me? The Still, Small Voice: In the middle of a busy day or a stressful situation, am I quiet enough to hear and recognize the Holy Spirit's promptings regarding my attitude or speech? Keeping His Commandments: Do I view God's laws as a joyful path of protection and fellowship that I want to keep, rather than a heavy burden I have to drag around? The Internal Reality: When someone wrongs or provokes me, do I actively rely on the Spirit to change my internal feelings toward them, rather than just forcing a fake smile on the outside? Recognizing the Blindspot: Am I genuinely willing to ask God to show me the faults in my character that I am currently blind to, and am I ready to change if He reveals them? Ritual vs. Spirit: If all religious structure, services, and routines were stripped away today, would my personal, daily walk and communication with God remain completely intact? Hardening the Heart: Am I aware of any area where I have repeatedly ignored God's warnings to the point where my conscience no longer bothers me about it? "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion." — Hebrews 3:15 "Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious people." — Ezekiel 12:2 "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." — John 4:24 Reflecting on Your Answers Mostly "Yes": This indicates an active, living connection where your spiritual senses are sharp. Your ears are open to His voice, you are fighting the internal battle to keep His commandments, and you are operating from a place of true, spiritual reality. Several "No" Answers (especially on Questions 1, 5, and 10): This is a warning sign of spiritual deafness. When we repeatedly ignore the promptings of the Spirit or turn a deaf ear to God's laws, our hearts naturally begin to harden, and His voice becomes harder to discern. If you are struggling to hear Him, it is a direct call to clear away the noise, stop resisting, and pray: "Lord, take away my stubbornness, open my ears, and give me a heart that hears and obeys." Key Bible Truth: “Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh … Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:16, 25) True life in the Spirit is marked by freedom, fruit, and dependence on God — not perfection, but direction. A key verse is Romans 8:9: "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Other verses about having the Spirit of God: Other verses about having the Spirit of God: 2 Corinthians 13:5 "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith... Know ye not your own selves, how that Yeshua Messiah is in you, except ye be reprobates?" Galatians 4:6 "And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father." 1 Corinthians 3:16 "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" 1 Corinthians 6:19 "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you ...?" Ephesians 1:13 "After that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise." 1 John 3:24 "And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. " 1 John 4:13 "Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit." According to Scripture, the presence of God's Spirit is evidenced by faith in Messiah, obedience to God, and a transformed life: "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments." (1 John 2:3) "If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15) "And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us." (1 John 3:24) 1 . The Mindset: What Governs Your Thoughts? The primary difference starts in the mind. Romans 8:5 states, "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit." In the Flesh: A person is trapped in their own perspective. When a trial hits, their immediate reaction comes from human instinct—fear, anger, retaliation, or self-pity. In the Spirit: A person's mind is anchored in divine truth. When the same trial hits, they pause, lean on the Spirit, and recall the commandments of God, responding with humility, truth, and faith. "In the Spirit" vs. "In the Flesh" : This refers to a fundamental shift in a believer's identity. Being in the flesh represents our old, unredeemed nature, while being in the Spirit means our lives are governed and empowered by the Holy Spirit. [1, 2] T he Indwelling Spirit: The presence of the Holy Spirit inside a believer is the defining mark of true faith. Paul uses it as proof that an individual truly belongs to Christ. [1, 2, 3] The "Spirit of Christ": Paul interchangeably uses "Spirit of God" and "Spirit of Christ," emphasizing the divine nature of the Holy Spirit and the intimate connection between the believer and Yeshua Christ. [1, 2, 3] "In the Spirit" vs. "In the Flesh": This refers to a fundamental shift in a believer's identity. Being in the flesh represents our old, unredeemed nature, while being in the Spirit means our lives are governed and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Paul uses it as proof that an individual truly belongs to Christ.The "Spirit of Christ" : Paul interchangeably uses "Spirit of God" and "Spirit of Christ," emphasizing the divine nature of the Holy Spirit and the intimate connection between the believer and Jesus Christ. 2. The Battle Over the Commandments Your response to God's instructions immediately reveals which realm you are operating in. "For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God." — Romans 8:7-8 The Flesh Rejects: Because the flesh wants to be its own god, it views the commandments as a restrictive burden. It rationalizes compromise, creates excuses, and ultimately rejects the truth. The Spirit Accepts: The Spirit gives us the supernatural ability to understand and love the commandments. It breaks the power of the flesh so that obedience isn't a legalistic chore, but a natural expression of our identity in Yeshua. The Sovereign Distinction: You cannot serve both. Walking in the flesh is relying on your own human strength and desires, which cuts a person off from salvation. Walking in the Spirit means surrendering your will to the truth of Yeshua, allowing His Spirit to produce real, righteous life within you. When Yeshua laid down this standard in John 4, He was radically redefining what it means to connect with the Almighty, breaking it down into two inseparable pillars. 1. Worshiping "In Spirit" (The Internal Reality) Worshiping "in spirit" means that your worship originates from the innermost core of your human spirit, energized and led by the Holy Spirit. Bypassing the Physical: Before Yeshua, people believed worship was tied to a physical location (like the Temple in Jerusalem or Mount Gerizim) or specific physical rituals (sacrifices, incense, holy garments). Yeshua explained that because God is Spirit, He cannot be confined to a building or moved by empty, outward motions. Heart Over Performance: It means your heart is actually in it. You can sing the songs, read the scriptures, and say the prayers, but if your mind is wandering or your heart is cold, it is just a fleshly performance. Worshipping in spirit means your inner being is actively alive and connected to God. 2. Worshiping "In Truth" (The Doctrinal Reality) Worshiping "in truth" means your worship is firmly anchored in God's absolute reality, His Word, and His commandments. Alinged with Reality: You cannot worship God based on a version of Him you made up in your own mind. It must be based on who He actually is as revealed in scripture . The Blueprint of Salvation: As noted previously, truth is non-negotiable—without truth, there is no salvation. Worshiping in truth means accepting God's standard of righteousness, acknowledging the reality of sin, and recognizing Yeshua as the only true way to the Father. It leaves no room for falsehood, self-delusion, or compromise. The Side-by-Side Balance Genuineness only happens when both elements are operating together perfectly. One without the other creates a dangerous imbalance. In Spirit (Without Truth)In Truth (Without Spirit)In Spirit AND In Truth Pure Emotion: Excitement, feelings, and high energy, but lacks a scriptural foundation. It easily drifts into false doctrine because it relies on "how I feel" rather than what is true.Dead Religion: Correct theology, strict rules, and flawless structure, but cold, rigid, and heartless. It results in a Pharisee-like walk that has the form of godliness but denies its power .True Worship: A vibrant, sincere heart that is deeply in love with God, backed by an uncompromising commitment to His absolute Word and commandments. Summary: To worship genuinely is to bring your whole heart (spirit) into perfect alignment with God's reality (truth). It is a walk where your inner thoughts, your public actions, and your obedience to the commandments all match up perfectly before the eyes of the Fathe r. Spiritual Blindness: Inability to See: Just as physical blindness prevents someone from seeing the physical world, spiritual blindness prevents individuals from "seeing" or discerning spiritual truths . This can manifest as: Lack of Understanding : Difficulty grasping theological concepts, biblical teachings, or the nature of God. Failure to Recognize God's Presence: Not perceiving God's activity in the world or in their own lives. Misinterpretation of Reality: Viewing life solely through a material or secular lens, without recognizing a spiritual dimension. Inability to See Their Own Sinfulness: Being unaware of their moral shortcomings or their need for redemption. R ejection of Spiritual Evidence: Dismissing or ignoring signs and experiences that might point towards a spiritual reality. Causes: Spiritual blindness can be attributed to various factors, including: Sin and Unbelief : A hardened heart due to persistent sin or a refusal to believe in God. Worldly Distractions: Being consumed by material possessions, worldly desires, and the cares of this life. Pride and Intellectual Obstacles: Relying solely on human reason and rejecting the need for divine revelation. Deception: Being misled by false teachings or ideologies. Spiritual Opposition : Some theological perspectives suggest that Satan or other spiritual forces actively work to blind people to the truth. (2 Corinthians 4:4) 2 Corinthians 4:4 states that the "god of this age" (Satan) has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel. This spiritual blindness keeps people from perceiving the glory of Christ, who is the exact image of God. Spiritual Deafness: Inability to Hear: Similar to physical deafness, spiritual deafness describes an inability or unwillingness to "hear" or heed spiritual messages. This can involve: Ignoring God's Word: Not paying attention to or disregarding scripture, sermons, or other forms of spiritual communication. Resisting the Holy Spirit's Promptings: Ignoring inner convictions or nudges towards righteousness. Being Unresponsive to God's Call: Not recognizing or heeding God's invitations to faith and relationship. Preferring Other Voices: Being more attuned to worldly opinions or desires than to spiritual guidance. Lack of Discernment : Difficulty distinguishing between true and false spiritual teachings. Causes: Similar to spiritual blindness, spiritual deafness can stem from: Sin and Rebellion: A stubborn and disobedient heart that refuses to listen to God. Preoccupation with the World: Being too busy or focused on worldly matters to hear God's voice. Skepticism and Doubt: A closed mind that is unwilling to accept spiritual truths. Hardened Heart: A heart that has become Calloused and resistant to God's influence. Spiritual Opposition: Again, some believe that external spiritual forces can hinder people from hearing God's voice. Interconnections: Spiritual blindness and deafness are often interconnected. If someone cannot "see" spiritual truth, they are less likely to "hear" and respond to it. Conversely, if someone refuses to "hear" spiritual messages, their understanding and "sight" can become clouded. Overcoming Spiritual Blindness and Deafness: Christian theology emphasizes that spiritual blindness and deafness can be overcome through: God's Grace: Ultimately, it is God's initiative and grace that opens eyes and ears to spiritual truth. Faith in Yeshua messiah: Believing in Yeshua and accepting his sacrifice is seen as the key to spiritual healing. The Work of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is believed to illuminate the mind and open the heart to understand spiritual realities. Prayer: Seeking God's help to see and hear. Study of Scripture: Engaging with the Bible to learn about God and his ways. Fellowship with Believers: Being part of a community of faith that can offer support and encouragement. Repentance and Obedience: Turning away from sin and living in accordance with God's will. Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us. In summary, spiritual blindness and deafness represent a significant barrier to experiencing and understanding the spiritual realm and one's relationship with God. They are conditions that, according to Christian belief, require divine intervention and a willing heart to overcome. To all who are weary of the heavy burdens of the world and the confusion of the Broad Way: You are cordially invited to enter the Kingdom of God. The King of the Universe, Yehovah, has not left you to wander without a map. He has provided His Torah—His perfect instruction—to act as the light for your feet and the guardrail for your life. While the world offers a wide road of "do as you please," the Father invites you to the Narrow Path, where true freedom and lasting peace are found. Romans 8:16 "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God." The Meaning: God’s Holy Spirit connects directly with the human spirit to give internal assurance of salvation. 1 Corinthians 2:11 "For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God." The Meaning: Just as your own deep thoughts are only known by your personal consciousness (your spirit), the deep things of God can only be revealed by the Holy Spirit. Worshiping in Spirit and Truth This is one of the most famous statements made by Yeshua regarding the nature of true worship. John 4:24 "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." (NKJV) The Meaning: Because God is not a physical being confined to a physical temple, true worship must happen in the spiritual realm—sincerely from the human heart—rather than just through external rituals. Testing the Spirits In the Epistles, believers are warned that not everything claiming to be spiritual is from God. 1 John 4:1 "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." (NKJV) The Meaning: A warning to evaluate the teaching, motive, and supernatural backing behind any spiritual message. Testing the Spirit: The Scriptural Protocol In the modern religious world, people confuse "the Spirit" with an emotional vibe, a subjective feeling, or a goosebump experience during a worship service. They hear someone speak with passion, perform a sign, or claim a direct revelation from God, and they automatically assume it is from the Almighty. But the Scripture issues a strict, legal mandate to audit and cross-examine every spiritual claim. The Apostle John gives a direct commanding order: "Test the spirits." The Confrontation: "You are completely unguarded if you swallow every teaching, every prophecy, and every emotional experience just because someone uses the name of Jesus. The spiritual realm is filled with counterfeits designed to mimic holiness while leading you straight into rebellion. The Creator did not leave you to judge by your intuition; He gave you a fixed legal protocol to test what is operating in front of you. Read 1 John 4:1." The Verse: "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." The Shock: "The Greek word for 'test' is dokimazō—a legal and metallurgical term meaning to assay, analyze, or put to a rigorous trial to see if it is genuine or counterfeit. If a spirit, a teacher, or a movement cannot pass the scriptural audit, you are commanded to reject it entirely, no matter how good it feels or how many followers it has." The Three Infallible Scriptural Tests To determine if a spirit is the Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit of Truth) or a spirit of deception, you must apply the three-fold protocol laid out in the literal text: Test 1: The Torah and Light Test (The Baseline) A true spirit will never contradict, alter, or relax the permanent instructions and commandments given by the Father. The Protocol (Isaiah 8:20): "To the law (Torah) and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." The Execution: If a spirit or a teacher tells you that the Sabbath is changed, that the dietary laws are done away with, or that the Moedim (Appointed Feasts) are replaced by pagan-rooted traditions under the guise of "grace," the verdict is instantaneous: There is no light in them. The Holy Spirit is the author of the Law; He will never lead a person to break it. Test 2: The True Identity and Identity of Yeshua Test The spirit must confess and align entirely with the true, uncompromised identity, flesh, and lineage of the Hebrew Messiah. The Protocol (1 John 4:2-3): "By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach) has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Yeshua HaMashiach) has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist..." The Execution: To confess Him "in the flesh" means acknowledging His literal, physical reality as the Hebrew Messiah who walked in perfect Torah obedience, kept the Sabbath, and embodied the Word. If a spirit presents a counterfeit, lawless, Hellenized "Jesus" who authorizes his followers to throw out the Father's commandments, that spirit is exposing itself as the spirit of the Antichrist (anomos—the lawless one). Test 3: The Fruit and Character Test You do not judge a spirit by its gifts, its signs, or its numbers; you judge it by the structural transformation it produces in a person's life. The Protocol (Matthew 7:20, Galatians 5:22-23): "Therefore by their fruits you will know them... But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." The Execution: Look past the performance. Does the spirit produce a life of radical Teshuvah (repentance), deep humility, and a protective love for the brethren? Or does it manifest the hidden works of the flesh—pride, gossip, horizontal treason against brothers, and a stubborn heart of flint that refuses correction? The Verdict of the Audit The Spirit of DeceptionThe Ruach HaKodesh (Spirit of Truth) Promotes anomia (lawlessness) and excuses the violation of the Commandments.Writes the Torah directly onto the heart and causes you to walk in His statutes (Ezekiel 36:27). Relies on emotional highs, human traditions, and the approval of the majority.Anchors itself strictly to the literal text: "Thus saith the Lord." Breeds pride, defensiveness, and a carnal mind hostile to God's Law.Produces the visible, active fruit of righteousness and horizontal love. The Bottom Line: Stop being spiritually naive. Run every voice, every teacher, and your own internal thoughts through this exact scriptural protocol. If it fails to match the Torah and the testimony of Yeshua, hit the eject button immediately. Turn your ear back to the Law so your very prayers do not become an abomination (Proverbs 28:9). Living in the Spirit Romans 8:9 8 Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God . 9 You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.… Jesus and the Samaritan Woman John 4:24 …23 But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us. 1 John 3:24

Statics say 84% of Americans believe in the divinity of Christ and 74% profess commitment to him yet America continues downward spiritually to correction and morality why has Christianity not worked?

A Note of Encouragement for the Road Beloved truth seeker, turning your mirror back toward the Creator's written instructions is a path of restoration, not bondage. Keeping the Father's commandments is how we physically express our love for Him (1 John 5:3). Take your time. Study the scriptures. Question the traditions you inherited. Ask the Father to remove the veil, polish your spiritual mirror, and restore your eyes to see and your ears to hear the glorious light of His eternal truth. Where to begin? We highly recommend taking The Lawlessness Test first, and letting the scriptures speak directly to you. A Loving Warning to a Churchgoer My friend, Scripture warns that the adversary’s primary goal is not to turn you into an atheist, but to subtly steer you onto his own path of anomia—the spirit of lawlessness that teaches God's instructions no longer have authority over your life (1 John 3:4). You can prove this spiritual blindness is operating in your own heart by looking at a simple, physical instruction like the Fourth Commandment: “But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work...” ($Exodus$ $20:10$). The Creator's written Word plainly designates Saturday as His holy day forever, yet when you look at this text, your eyes read "Saturday" while your traditional training forces you to see "Sunday" or to believe the commandment is abolished. This inability to simply accept and obey what is plainly written—substituting it instead with human church traditions—is the exact "sensory shutdown" warned about in the scriptures; it proves that while you may sincerely love God, you are unknowingly walking the path of the original rebel by treating His eternal $Torah$ as optional. This blindness is not an accident; it is the operation of a profound spiritual law: we spiritually conform to the nature of whatever we worship. When you place your ultimate trust and reverence in a church denomination, a human pastor, or a comfortable system of theology that explains away God's Torah, your soul begins to act as a mirror to that system. You inherit the exact sensory shutdown of the man-made traditions you revere—possessing a Bible you cannot see and a Creator's voice you cannot hear. By taking an honest look at your own daily practices versus the written Word, you are holding up a mirror to your soul and performing a vital self-diagnosis. Your own physical actions are proving that your spiritual hardware has been tuned to copy and reflect a lawless human system rather than the glorious, eternal image of the living God. Proof in the Scriptures: Look Up and Study These Verses If your heart is open to the raw, unfiltered truth of the written Word, please take a moment to look up these scriptures in your own Bible: Is the Sabbath truly done away with? $Exodus$ $31:16-17$: “Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever...” Question to ponder: If God declared the Sabbath an eternal sign and a perpetual covenant, by whose authority was it changed or abolished? Does God accept worship that is mixed with human traditions? Mark 7:7-9 (Yeshua's Warning): “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men... Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” Question to ponder: Are you honoring Sunday, Christmas, or Easter because the Bible commands them, or because church traditions tell you to? What does God think of prayers from those who reject His Law? Proverbs 28:9: “He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law ($Torah$), even his prayer shall be abomination.” Question to ponder: If we ignore His written instructions, can we truly say we are in deep communion with Him? How does the New Testament define our love for God? 1 John 5:3: “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.” Question to ponder: If loving God means keeping His physical commandments, why does modern theology teach that those commandments are a "burden" or "bondage"? This test is specifically designed to expose the subtle, traditional rationalizations that people in the church use to reject God's law. It uses the words of the Messiah Himself from Matthew 7:21-23—where He warns that many well-meaning, miracle-working churchgoers will be turned away because they "work lawlessness" (anomia). The 10-Question Diagnostic Review the statements below. Answer honestly based on your current personal beliefs, teachings, and church practices. 1. The Validity of the Law Do you believe or teach that the Law of Moses ($Torah$) has been "abolished," "nailed to the cross," or "done away with" for New Testament believers? [ ] YES [ ] NO 2. The Definition of Holiness Do you believe that under the New Covenant of "grace," physical obedience to the Creator's Old Testament commandments is completely optional or unnecessary? [ ] YES [ ] NO 3. The Sabbath Day Do you treat Sunday as the Sabbath, or believe the Seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) was changed or abolished, despite God designating it as a "perpetual, everlasting covenant"? [ ] YES [ ] NO 4. Dietary Separation Do you believe that God's dietary boundaries (Leviticus 11) no longer apply, and that you are free to eat pig, shellfish, or other unclean things because "Jesus made all foods clean"? [ ] YES [ ] NO 5. Adopting Pagan Customs Do you celebrate holidays of pagan origin (like Christmas on December 25th or Easter Sunday) under the belief that "it's about the heart" and "God knows what it means to me"? [ ] YES [ ] NO 6. The Pauline Filter Do you use isolated, misunderstood verses from the Apostle Paul’s letters to argue against keeping the direct, physical commandments of the Father and the Messiah? [ ] YES [ ] NO 7. Labeling Obedience as "Legalism" Do you refer to, mock, or warn others against believers who strive to keep the Seventh-day Sabbath, eat clean, or wear $tzitzit$ (tassels) by calling them "legalists," "Pharisees," or "under bondage"? [ ] YES [ ] NO 8. Dismissing the Feast Days Do you believe that God’s annual Appointed Times ($Moedim$ in Leviticus 23) were "only for the Jews" and have no prophetic value or application for the Church today? [ ] YES [ ] NO 9. Cheap Grace Do you believe that as long as you "love God" and "love your neighbor," you are free to ignore the specific, physical instructions of how the Creator asked to be loved and worshiped? [ ] YES [ ] NO 10. Defensive Reaction to the Law Does hearing the term "Torah observance" or the suggestion that we must physically keep the commandments of God trigger immediate defensiveness, anger, or discomfort in your heart? [ ] YES [ ] NO Diagnosing the Results: What Does Your Score Mean? Count how many times you answered "YES" to the statements above. If You Answered "YES" 1 to 3 Times: Developing Contamination You have started to absorb some of the traditional, lawless dogmas of mainstream theology. While you may still revere the Old Testament, you are allowing human traditions to slowly blind your spiritual eyes to the plain instructions of the Creator. If You Answered "YES" 4 or More Times: The Spirit of Lawlessness ($Anomia$) A score of 4 or more "YES" answers indicates that your personal theology is operating directly under the spirit of $anomia$ (lawlessness). You are actively practicing a belief system that teaches that God's instructions have no authority over you. By defending these "YES" positions, you are using church traditions as a shield to bypass the written Word of God—which is the exact behavior the Messiah $Yeshua$ condemned in Matthew 7 and Mark 7. The Scriptural Reality Check If this test made you uncomfortable, look closely at what the Scriptures say about each "YES" answer: To Statement 1 & 2: $Yeshua$ said: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets... whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:17-19) To Statement 3: God said: “Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath... throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.” (Exodus 31:16) To Statement 4: The Prophet Isaiah warns that those who consume swine's flesh and abominable things will be consumed together in end-times judgment. (Isaiah 66:17) To Statement 5: God said: “Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared... and enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God.” (Deuteronomy 12:30-31) To Statement 6 & 7: The Apostle Peter explicitly warned that those who are "unlearned and unstable" twist Paul's letters to their own destruction because they are led away by the "error of the lawless." (2 Peter 3:15-17) To Statement 8: The Apostle Paul instructed New Testament believers to keep the biblical feasts: “Purge out therefore the old leaven... For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast.” (1 Corinthians 5:7-8) To Statement 9 & 10 : The Apostle John wrote: “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.” (1 John 5:3) Conclusion Do not let traditional dogmas make the Word of God of "none effect" in your life. Repent of the spirit of lawlessness ($anomia$), point your spiritual mirror directly back to the Creator's written instructions, and let Him restore your eyes to see, your ears to hear, and your heart to obey! Spiritual Blindness and the Mirroring of Idolatry: Why the Church Cannot Comprehend the Torah A common question arises within the movement to return to God's commandments: Why is it that otherwise sincere, Bible-reading churchgoers cannot see, understand, or accept the perpetual validity of the Torah? Scripture reveals that this barrier is not merely intellectual; it is a profound, active spiritual state. When human traditions and man-made theology are elevated above the living instructions of the Creator , a specific spiritual mechanism is triggered: The Mirroring Principle of Idolatry. 1. The Powerless, Dead Idols Scripture is incredibly consistent in how it describes man-made idols. In the Psalms, we are given a vivid description of physical representations used in worship: "They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not..." — Psalm 115:5-6 "They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths." — Psalm 135:16-17 These idols are characterized by complete sensory shutdown. They possess the outward physical forms of sight, hearing, and speech, but they are utterly devoid of spiritual life, breath, and true perception. To bring this ancient biblical truth into the 21st century, we are going to use the example of a "Dummy" Display Smartphone. It looks perfect on the outside but lacks any internal life, illustrating exactly how a person can have all the outward tools of faith (Bibles, apps, church buildings) while remaining spiritually unresponsive to the actual commandments of God. Here is the updated article with this new modern analogy integrated as Section 3. 2. The Spiritual Mirror: Becoming What We Worship The crucial warning of these passages is not just about the statues themselves, but about the transformational impact they have on those who trust in them: "They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them." — Psalm 115:8 / Psalm 135:18 This is a spiritual law of the universe: We spiritually conform to the nature of the object of our devotion. When we place our trust in man-made theological structures, physical icons, or ecclesiastical traditions that substitute God's commandments, we begin to match their spiritual state. We develop spiritual eyes that cannot see and spiritual ears that cannot hear. 3. The Diagnosis of Spiritual Stubbornness Throughout the scriptures, when God's people fell into unbelief and stubbornness—trusting in their own traditions and rejecting the Torah—the prophets used this exact "idol-mirroring" language to diagnose their spiritual condition: Jeremiah 5:21: "Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not..." Ezekiel 12:2: "Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house." Mark 8:18: Yeshua Himself confronts His disciples with this same warning when they fall into fear and unbelief: "Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?" 4. The Root Cause: Hardening of the Heart Through Unbelief This sensory shutdown is fundamentally caused by a hardening of the heart. When a believer repeatedly encounters the plain text of God's Word but chooses to bypass it to preserve a comfortable, traditional doctrine, a calloused layer forms over their spiritual heart. According to Hebrew thought, the heart is the seat of the mind, will, and understanding. Unbelief acts as a barrier. It refuses to take God at His word. This persistent unbelief leads to a hardened heart (a spiritual thickening/callous). The result is a total inability to process spiritual truth that contradicts human traditions. 5. The Modern Application: The Veil Over the Church This spiritual mirroring explains why many modern churchgoers struggle to understand or accept the Torah. When presented with clear scriptures regarding the seventh-day Sabbath ($Shabbat$), dietary instructions ($Kashrut$), or the Feast Days ($Moedim$), they are often completely unable to comprehend or accept them. Even though the words are right there on the pages of their own Bibles, they cannot perceive them. Just as the dead, traditional systems they trust in are deaf to the living voice of God's law, they too experience a spiritual dullness. Until they repent of human traditions and surrender to the authority of the Creator's written Word, the veil remains over their eyes, keeping them spiritually blind to the beauty, light, and perpetual life of the Torah. This statement echoes 1 John 3:8, which says, "Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning" The Mirroring Principle of Idolatry: What You Revere, You Resemble One of the most profound, yet frequently overlooked, spiritual laws written across the pages of Scripture is what theologians call The Mirroring Principle of Idolatry. Simply put, the principle states: We spiritually conform to the nature of whatever we worship. In the words of biblical scholar G.K. Beale, "What people revere, they resemble, either for ruin or for restoration." When we give our ultimate devotion, trust, and obedience to something, we begin to mirror its characteristics. If we worship a dead, mute, and blind idol—whether a physical statue or a man-made theological tradition—we spiritually inherit its sensory shutdown. Conversely, if we worship the living, speaking Creator, we are restored to reflect His image. 1. The Divine Design: Created to Mirror the Creator To understand why false worship has such a devastating, blinding effect on human beings, we have to look back at our original blueprint. In Genesis, humanity was created with a specific structural purpose: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." — Genesis 1:27 Humans were designed to be spiritual mirrors placed in the creation. Just as a physical mirror has no light of its own but is designed to perfectly reflect the sun, humanity was designed to face the Creator and reflect His character, holiness, light, and instruction ($Torah$) into the physical world. Worship is the act of pointing our "mirror" toward an object. Whatever sits at the center of our devotion is the exact image our souls will reflect. 2. The Golden Calf: The First Major Replication (Exodus 32) The mirroring principle is vividly demonstrated during Israel's infamous golden calf incident in the wilderness. When Moses delayed coming down from Mount Sinai, the people grew impatient and demanded a physical god they could see and control. They fashioned a golden calf out of their jewelry: "And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel. .." — Exodus 32:4 Immediately after they bowed down and sacrificed to this golden calf, God changed the vocabulary He used to describe Israel. He said to Moses: "Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves... I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people." — Exodus 32:7, 9 The Hebrew term for "stiff-necked" ($qasheh$ $oreph$) is agricultural vocabulary used to describe an obstinate, stubborn bull or heifer that refuses to bow its neck to the yoke of its master. By choosing to revere a young, stubborn bull (the calf) rather than the living God, Israel instantly began to resemble the physical characteristics of their idol. They became spiritually "stiff-necked"—unbending, stubborn, and completely unresponsive to the voice of their Master. 3. The Sensory Shutdown: Psalm 115 and 135 The Psalms lay down the explicit mechanical law of how this spiritual replication operates. They describe the physical nature of man-made idols: “They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.” — Psalm 115:5-7 Then comes the cosmic spiritual warning in verse 8: “They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.” — Psalm 115:8 This is not poetry; it is a spiritual diagnosis. Trusting in a powerless, inanimate representation of godhood causes a complete sensory shutdown in the worshiper: Mouths that speak not: The worshiper loses the ability to speak pure, uncompromised biblical truth. Eyes that see not: The worshiper can look directly at a clear commandment in Scripture (like the Sabbath or dietary laws) and be utterly unable to see or register it. Ears that hear not: The worshiper can hear the voice of the Creator calling them back to His instructions, but they are spiritually deaf to the call. 4. The Prophets' Diagnosis of Israel When Israel later fell into rebellion and rejected the Torah, God did not diagnose them as merely "uneducated." He diagnosed them as idol-mirrors. They had successfully taken on the traits of the blind and deaf Canaanite gods they trusted in: Isaiah 6:9-10: God commissions Isaiah to speak to a people who have spiritually conformed to idols: “Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart...” Jeremiah 5:21: “Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not...” Ezekiel 12:2: “Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.” By turning away from the Torah, they lost the spiritual hardware required to process spiritual truth. 5. The New Testament Reality: Tradition Over Commandments This is not an exclusively Old Testament phenomenon. Yeshua Himself confrontationaly applies this exact "idol-mirroring" diagnosis to the religious leaders of His day. When the Pharisees challenged Yeshua because His disciples did not follow the "traditions of the elders" (man-made religious rules that bypassed God's written law), Yeshua responded: “Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men... Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition...” — Mark 7:6-7, 13 Later, when His disciples failed to understand a basic spiritual concept, Yeshua turned to them and asked: “Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?” — Mark 8:18 The warning is clear: Any time we substitute God’s plain, written commandments with human dogmas, church traditions, or ecclesiastical systems, we trigger the Mirroring Principle. When we place our trust in a denomination, a popular pastor, or a comfortable system of theology that explains away God's law, we begin to resemble that dead system. We lose our ability to process the direct signal of the Scriptures. Our eyes read "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy" but our theological programming translates it to mean Sunday, or worse, that the Sabbath is abolished. The spiritual data is there on the page, but the "mirror" is pointing at human tradition, rendering us blind to the light of the Torah. 6. The Remedy: Restoration to His Image The Mirroring Principle is a law of spiritual gravity, but it works both for ruin or for restoration. If looking at and trusting in dead idols makes us dead, blind, and deaf, then turning our gaze to the living Messiah Yeshua and His perfect instructions has the exact opposite effect: “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass [mirror] the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” — 2 Corinthians 3:18 When we repent of man-made traditions, take the veil off our eyes, and submit directly to the written Word of the Creator, our spiritual senses are restored. We begin to reflect His character, His holiness, and His Torah. Our eyes see, our ears hear, and we are finally able to comprehend, accept, and walk in the beautiful light of His eternal truth. The Alignment of the Mirror: How the Commandments Counteract Idolatry When looking at the 20 specific practices in the Torah Observance Self-Assessment, it is easy for a modern reader to ask: “What does eating pork, wearing tassels, or keeping a Saturday Sabbath have to do with the heavy, spiritual reality of idolatry?” To the modern Western mind, "idolatry" is a mental or emotional state (putting your career or money before God), while the "Torah commandments" are seen as external, ritualistic rules. However, in Hebrew thought, the two are dynamically and structurally connected. Every single commandment ($mitzvah$) in the Torah acts as a physical alignment tool for your spiritual "mirror." When you reject these physical instructions in favor of human traditions, you actively turn your mirror away from the Creator, pointing it toward man-made systems. This triggers the Mirroring Principle of Idolatry—leading to the spiritual sensory shutdown described in the Psalms. Here is how specific commandments are directly connected to the mirroring of idolatry. 1. The Sabbath ($Shabbat$): Mirroring the Creator’s Rhythm vs. Human Authority To understand how the Sabbath connects to the mirror, look at the signature of the Creator. In the Fourth Commandment, God binds the Sabbath directly to His identity as the Maker of all things: “For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” — Exodus 20:11 The Connected Mirror: When you observe the seventh-day Sabbath, you physically conform your life, your time, and your weekly rhythm to the exact pattern of the Creator. You are pointing your mirror directly at His face, reflecting His rest, His sovereignty, and His creative authority into the physical world. The Idolatrous Substitution: When mainstream ecclesiastical systems shifted the day of worship to Sunday and claimed the authority to transfer the holiness of Shabbat, they created a man-made tradition. The Mirroring Result : By resting on Sunday based on human church dogmas rather than the written Word of the Creator, a believer's mirror is pointed at a human institution. Because they revere human authority over the Creator’s written Law, they begin to resemble that system—becoming deaf to the plain text of Scripture and blind to the literal Fourth Commandment. 2. Dietary Laws ($Kashrut$): Mirroring Divine Holiness vs. Pagan Syncretism In Leviticus 11, God outlines which animals are clean and unclean. At the very climax of these dietary instructions, He reveals why He gave them: “For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy... For I am the Lord that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.” — Leviticus 11:44-45 The Connected Mirror: The word "holy" ($kadosh$) literally means set apart, separated, and distinct. God is distinct from the world. By putting a physical boundary on what enters our mouths, we mirror His holiness. We reflect His nature of distinction and order. Our daily eating habits become a physical mirror of His spiritual separation. The Idolatrous Substitution: Pagan idolatry is characterized by the breakdown of distinctions—mixing the holy with the profane, eating whatever the flesh desires, and absorbing the habits of the surrounding culture. The Mirroring Result: When the church teaches that "all things are clean to eat" (relying on misinterpretations of Mark 7 or Acts 10), they remove the boundary of distinction. By eating like the pagan nations, they begin to reflect the pagan worldview of spiritual mixture. They lose the ability to distinguish between what is clean and unclean in other areas of life, rendering them spiritually insensitive. 3. Tassels ($Tzitzit$): The Optical Shield Against Idolatry The commandment to wear fringes or tassels ($tzitzit$) on the corners of four-cornered garments is perhaps the most explicit "anti-idolatry mirror" in the entire Torah: “And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a-whoring [prostituting/worshipping idols]...” — Numbers 15:39 The Connected Mirror: The Torah acknowledges that the human eye is easily captivated by the physical world. Left to its own devices, the eye looks at the world, the heart desires what it sees, and the person conforms to that earthly image (idolatry). The $tzitzit$ serve as a physical, optical interruption. The Mirroring Result: Every time your eyes drift downward, they catch the sight of the blue thread in the tassels. This instantly redirects your focus back to the written commandments of God. It is a physical "guardrail" that forces your spiritual mirror to stay tilted upward toward the Creator rather than drifting down to copy the culture. 4. The Biblical Feasts ($Moedim$) vs. Christmas and Easter: Mirroring God’s Calendar vs. Pagan Cycles The annual Feasts (Leviticus 23) are designated as God's "appointed times." They are His prophetic schedule. Conversely, Deuteronomy 12:30-32 strictly warns: “Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them... and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.” The Connected Mirror: When you keep the Passover ($Pesach$), the Feast of Weeks ($Shavuot$), or the Feast of Tabernacles ($Sukkot$), you are mirroring the literal, prophetic timeline of Yeshua's redemption plan. Your mirror is reflecting the true light of the Messiah's first and second comings. The Idolatrous Substitution: Celebrating Christmas (December 25th) or Easter (with a Friday-to-Sunday timeline) is the exact definition of syncretism—taking the customs, dates, and rituals of pagan sun-god worship and renaming them to honor the Creator. The Mirroring Result: Because pagan customs are dead and have no spiritual breath, those who participate in them eventually inherit the sensory shutdown of those original pagan systems. Even when they are shown the plain scriptural timeline of three days and three nights (Matthew 12:40), or shown that Jeremiah 10 condemns decorated trees, they cannot see or comprehend it. Their theological mirror is reflecting the "dead light" of Christianized pagan traditions, leaving them blind to the brilliant light of God’s actual holy days. Summary: The Torah as the Blueprint of the Divine Image Human beings cannot avoid mirroring. We are created to be reflective surfaces. If we do not point our mirrors toward the written Torah—which is the perfect, physical expression of the Creator’s character—we will naturally point our mirrors toward: The Self (human desires and pride). The Culture (pagan traditions and holidays). Human Religious Systems (church doctrines that bypass God's Law). Every single commandment, from how we manage our finances (usury) to how we cut our hair or dress (mixed fabrics), is designed to shape our mirrors so that we perfectly conform to the image of the Messiah Yeshua. When we obey, our spiritual senses are restored. When we substitute His instructions with human traditions, our spiritual hardware shuts down, and we become just as deaf, dumb, and blind as the powerless idols of old. Identifying Modern-Day "Mirror Idolatry": Behavioral and Theological Signs If the Mirroring Principle of Idolatry is a spiritual reality, then the "sensory shutdown" described by the prophets (Psalms 115, Jeremiah 5, Mark 8) must be visible in the modern religious world. It cannot remain an abstract theological concept; it must manifest as recognizable behaviors and patterns of thought. How do you identify a modern-day believer whose spiritual "mirror" has been turned away from the Creator’s $Torah$ and pointed toward human tradition? The scriptures provide a clear diagnostic framework. When a person is reflecting a man-made religious system rather than the living Word, they exhibit specific, identifiable spiritual symptoms. 1. The "Translational Filter" (Eyes That See Not) The most prominent identifier of modern mirror idolatry is selective scriptural blindness. The Symptom: You can open a Bible, point directly to a plain, unambiguous commandment, and have them read it out loud. Yet, their mind is completely unable to process the plain meaning of the text. How to Identify It: You show them: “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy... the seventh day is the sabbath...” (Exodus 20:8-10). Their "filter" instantly translates this to mean: “Go to church on Sunday.” You show them: “These are the beasts which ye shall eat... whatsoever parteth the hoof... and cheweth the cud...” (Leviticus 11:2-3). Their filter instantly translates this to mean: “We can eat whatever we want because Jesus made all things clean.” The Spiritual Reality: The hardware of their physical eyes is working, but their theological mirror is pointed at a denominational creed. The text of Scripture hits their eyes, but the data is scrambled by their programming before it can reach their heart. They cannot see what is plainly written. 2. The Echo Chamber of Human Tradition (Mouths That Speak Not) In Psalm 115, idols are described as having mouths that cannot speak truth. In modern times, this manifests as an inability to speak pure, uncompromised biblical truth, replacing it instead with human catchphrases. The Symptom: When challenged on a matter of scripture or lifestyle, the person does not defend their position using the direct context of the Word. Instead, they regurgitate the pre-programmed talking points of their religious institution. How to Identify It: They rely heavily on clichés, theological jargon, and ecclesiastical soundbites to bypass obedience, such as: “That’s legalism.” “We are under grace, not the law.” “That was just for the Jews.” “That's a secondary issue.” The Spiritual Reality: They have lost their biblical voice. Instead of speaking the words of the Creator, their mouth has become a speaker grille for the human authorities they revere. They can only echo the soundbites of the system they mirror. 3. The "But God Knows My Heart" Defense (Deafness to Warning) When an idol-mirror is confronted with the pagan origins of their religious practices, their spiritual hearing shuts down, and they retreat into emotional self-defense. The Symptom: When you show them scriptural and historical proof that holidays like Christmas or Easter are rooted in pagan worship (contrary to Deuteronomy 12:30-32), they do not hear the warning. Instead, they redirect the conversation to their own personal intentions. How to Identify It: They will respond with statements like: “But that’s not what it means to me.” “God knows my heart, and I am doing this for Him.” “As long as we are focusing on Jesus, the details don't matter.” The Spiritual Reality: They are spiritually deaf to the warnings of the Torah. By prioritizing their internal emotional state (what it means to "me") over the external written instruction of God, they prove that their mirror is pointed inward at The Self—the ultimate form of modern idolatry. 4. The Collapse of Distinctions (No Spiritual Senses) Holiness ($kedushah$) requires the ability to distinguish, separate, and put a difference between things. When a believer’s spiritual senses are shut down, they lose the ability to make biblical distinctions. The Symptom: They cannot perceive any difference between what God has designated as "Holy" ($kadosh$) versus what man has designated as "Common" ($chol$). How to Identify It: They see no difference between Shabbat (the day God sanctified) and Sunday (the day Constantine and the Roman Church set apart). They see no difference between Passover (God’s prophetic feast) and Easter (a tradition named after a pagan goddess). They believe that because "God created everything," all foods, lifestyles, and worship methods are equally acceptable if done with "love." The Spiritual Reality: Because they worship within a system that has mixed pagan habits with biblical language, they have inherited the system's numbness. They are spiritually colorblind—unable to distinguish the bright line of God’s separation from the gray smear of religious syncretism. 5. Hostility Toward the Hebrew Roots of Faith Just as light hurts eyes that have been in the dark for too long, the true light of the Hebrew roots of the faith often provokes a defensive, agitated reaction from those in mirror idolatry. The Symptom: The mere mention of the name $Yeshua$ instead of Jesus, or the suggestion that a believer should strive to keep the commandments out of love, triggers an immediate defensive posture. How to Identify It: They will accuse those returning to the Torah of "falling from grace," being "Judaizers," or belonging to a "cult." They display a visceral discomfort with the physical signs of obedience (like $tzitzit$ or Sabbath rest). The Spiritual Reality: The physical reality of the Torah acts as a polishing cloth on their mirror. It threatens the comfortable, dusty film of human tradition they have lived under. Because they are not ready to turn their mirror away from their ecclesiastical system, they lash out at the light that is trying to break through their sensory shutdown. Summary: A Checklist of the Modern Idol-Mirror The Prophetic Diagnosis The Modern Behavior "Eyes that see not" Reading a clear commandment on the page but being utterly unable to process its plain, literal meaning. "Ears that hear not" Hearing the warning against syncretism (pagan mixing) but dismissing it because "God knows my heart." "Mouths that speak not" Relying on theological clichés ("not under the law," "legalism") instead of quoting direct Scripture in context. "No breath/distinction" Believing that there is no difference between what is clean and unclean, or what is holy and The "Pauline Filter": How a Misaligned Mirror Distorts the Apostle’s Words If a modern believer's theological mirror has been pointed at human tradition, they must find a way to reconcile the clear, eternal commandments of the Creator with their refusal to obey them. To resolve this cognitive dissonance, they construct what can be called "The Pauline Filter." This is the practice of running the entire Bible—including the plain words of the Creator at Mount Sinai and the direct instructions of the Messiah $Yeshua$—through a highly selective, misunderstood reading of the Apostle Paul’s letters. By doing so, they use Paul as a shield to protect their traditions and justify their transgression of the $Torah$. The Apostle Peter explicitly warned that this exact phenomenon would occur: “...even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest [twist], as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked [lawless], fall from your own stedfastness.” — 2 Peter 3:15-17 How do you identify a believer who is utilizing the "Pauline Filter" to maintain their spiritual sensory shutdown? Here are the behavioral and theological signs. 1. The "Paul Over Yeshua" Hierarchy The most glaring symptom of the Pauline Filter is an unconscious theological hierarchy where Paul's words carry more practical authority than the words of the Messiah Himself. The Symptom: When confronted with the direct, plain instructions of the Messiah, the person will immediately bypass them by quoting an isolated verse from Paul to argue that the Messiah's words no longer apply. How to Identify It: You show them where $Yeshua$ said: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets... whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:17-19). Rather than accepting this, their mind immediately filters it out. They respond with: “Yes, but Paul says Christ is the end of the law for righteousness...” (Romans 10:4), interpreting "end" (telos) as "termination" rather than "goal/climax." The Spiritual Reality: Their theological mirror is pointed at a denominational construct that pits the Messiah against His own Apostle. Because they cannot process the reality that Paul was a Torah-observant Pharisee who defended the Law (Acts 25:8), they must make Paul the "new lawgiver" to justify ignoring the words of the Master. 2. The "Grace vs. Law" Dichotomy (The Divided Mind) Holiness ($kedushah$) requires unity and alignment. The Pauline Filter causes a severe mental split, forcing the believer to treat God's Grace and God's Law as opposing enemies rather than perfect partners. The Symptom: They operate under the assumption that if you love God’s commandments and seek to walk in them out of obedience, you are actively rejecting His grace. How to Identify It: Whenever you talk about keeping the Sabbath or clean eating, they will defensively respond with: “We are saved by grace, not by works!” (Ephesians 2:8-9). They are completely unable to comprehend that keeping the commandments is the fruit of salvation, not the root of it. They cannot reconcile Ephesians 2:8-9 with Ephesians 2:10 (“created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them”). The Spiritual Reality: They are spiritually colorblind to the purpose of the $Torah$. Because their ecclesiastical system teaches that the Law was a "burden" or a "curse" (misunderstanding Galatians 3:13), they view obedience as a threat to their faith. Their mirror reflects a cheapened grace that requires no physical surrender. 3. The "Colossians 2" Dismissal When confronted with the beautiful, prophetic reality of the Biblical Feasts ($Moedim$), those who use the Pauline Filter will instinctively retreat to a single, highly misunderstood passage in Colossians to shut down their hearing. The Symptom: They use Paul's warnings against pagan, ascetic philosophy in Colossae as a license to abandon God's designated Appointed Times. How to Identify It: You discuss the beauty of keeping Passover or Tabernacles ($Sukkot$). They will immediately quote Colossians 2:16: “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days...” They stop reading there, believing Paul is saying these days are abolished. They are blind to the very next verse (Colossians 2:17), which states these days “are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.” (The Greek literally reads: "let no man judge you... but the body of Messiah," meaning only the local body of believers should judge their observance, not pagan outsiders). The Spiritual Reality: Their mirror is tilted toward a system of lawlessness. They use Paul to justify celebrating pagan-derived holidays (like Christmas) while simultaneously using Paul to condemn those who celebrate God's actual holy days. 4. Total Blindness to Paul’s Self-Defense Perhaps the most ironic sign of the Pauline Filter is a complete inability to see or register the multiple times Paul himself explicitly stated that he kept, loved, and taught the $Torah$. The Symptom: They believe and teach that Paul successfully did away with the Law, despite the overwhelming historical evidence in the book of Acts that Paul went out of his way to prove he kept the Law. How to Identify It: You point them to: Acts 21:24: Where the elders of Jerusalem had Paul perform a public vow to prove to everyone that he “walkest orderly, and keepest the law.” Acts 24:14: Where Paul states under oath: “...so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets.” Romans 7:12: Where Paul writes: “Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.” When shown these plain verses, the user of the Pauline Filter will experience a temporary "system freeze." They will stare at the text, bypass it, and immediately jump back to an isolated verse in Galatians to restore their comfortable programming. The Spiritual Reality: This is the "translational filter" in active operation. The historical reality of a Torah-observant Paul is a direct threat to the theological foundation of the mainstream church. Therefore, the spiritual hardware of the believer must completely block these passages from reaching their heart, preserving the illusion of a law-abolishing Apostle. Summary: Restoring the Mirror of Paul The Misunderstood Paul The Restored, Torah-Observant Paul "Christ is the end of the law..." (Rom 10:4) "Christ is the goal/target of the law..." The Greek word telos means the ultimate aim or completion, not termination. "Not under the law..." (Rom 6:14) "Not under the condemnation/penalty of the law..." Because grace has paid the price, we are now free to obey it. "Let no man judge you..." (Col 2:16) "Do not let pagan outsiders judge your biblical walk..." Keep celebrating the feasts ($Moedim$) which point directly to the Messiah. "The law was our schoolmaster..." (Gal 3:24) "The Torah guarded and trained us..." Leading us to maturity so we can walk in the Spirit of obedience, not lawlessness. common. "Stiff-necked" Refusing to bend the neck to the literal, physical instructions ($mitzvot$) of the Creator. This statement directly references the biblical verse 1 John 3:8 , which states: "The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning." [1 ] Meaning of "Practicing" Sin In Christian theology, "practicing" sin does not mean committing an occasional mistake or lapse in judgment. interpret "practice" as a habitual, deliberate, and unrepentant lifestyle of wrongdoing. According to 1 John 3:4, sin is explicitly defined as the transgression of the Law (Torah). Within a strict Torah-observant framework, all 9 practices listed fail the test and are classified as scriptural transgressions. 1. The Hebrew Name: Acts 4:12, Matthew 1:21 — Replacing the native Hebrew name strips away its prophetic structural meaning: "Yahweh is Salvation." 2. Working on Sabbath: Exodus 20:8-11, Deuteronomy 5:12-15 — The Fourth Commandment explicitly forbids regular vocational labor. 3. Keeping Sabbath Holy: Genesis 2:2-3, Exodus 31:16-17 — Set apart at Creation as a holy day and designated as a perpetual, everlasting covenant. 4. Commandments in General: Ecclesiastes 12:13, 1 John 3:4, Revelation 14:12 — Scripture defines the whole duty of man as keeping the commandments. 5. Unclean Foods: Leviticus 11, Deuteronomy 14, Isaiah 66:17 — Dietary boundaries separating clean from unclean are never repealed in prophecy or Torah. 6. Appointed Days (Moedim): Leviticus 23 — God explicitly calls these "My Feasts." They serve as prophetic dress rehearsals for His redemption plan. 7. Christmas Traditions: Deuteronomy 12:30-32, Jeremiah 10:2-4 — God strictly commands His followers not to learn or adopt the customs of pagan nations to worship Him, regardless of intent. 8. Easter Timing: Matthew 12:40 — A Friday-to-Sunday timeline fails the structural proof of the "Sign of Jonah"—which requires exactly 3 days and 3 nights. 9. Passover: Exodus 12:14, 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 — Commanded as an everlasting ordinance. Paul explicitly reinforces this to New Testament believers, writing: "Let us keep the feast." Title: Torah Observance vs. Church Tradition: A Biblical Study Guide & Self-Assessment Subject: Biblical Theology and Torah Law (Hebrew Roots Perspective) Topics: The Definition of Sin (The Transgression Test) The Seventh-Day Sabbath (Shabbat) vs. Sunday Tradition Dietary Instructions (Kashrut, Blood, and Fat) God's Appointed Times (Moedim & Passover) vs. Mainstream Holidays Sacred Names (Yeshua vs. Jesus) Daily Commandments (Tzitzit, Shaatnez, and Images) Grooming and Body Laws (Beards, Tattoos) Social and Financial Laws (Usury, Clothing) Summary: This study guide evaluates mainstream church traditions and modern dogmas against the perpetual commandments of the Torah. Drawing from both the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and the Greek Scriptures (New Testament), it outlines how various modern ecclesiastical customs stand under the "Transgression Test." This test uses 1 John 3:4 to define sin strictly as the transgression of God's revealed law. Key Concepts: The Transgression Test: The process of using Biblical law as the objective measure of sin (1 John 3:4). The Perpetual Covenant of Shabbat: The seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) was established at Creation and remains a sign between God and His people. The Sign of Jonah: Yeshua’s Messiahship is authenticated by spending exactly three days and three nights in the earth (Matthew 12:40), contradicting a Friday-to-Sunday timeline. Syncretism Warning: Deuteronomy 12:30-32 forbids using the methods of pagan nations to worship the Creator. Holiness Distinctions: Commandment laws regarding fabrics ($Shaatnez$), tassels ($Tzitzit$), and diet ($Kashrut$) serve to separate God's people from the world. Vocabulary List: Torah: "Instruction" or "Law" (the first five books of the Bible). Mitzvot: The individual commandments given by God. Shabbat: The seventh-day Sabbath (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset). Moedim: The Appointed Times/Holy Feasts (Leviticus 23). Yeshua: The Hebrew name of the Messiah ("Yahweh is Salvation"). Shaatnez: A fabric containing both wool and linen woven together. Tzitzit: Fringes/Tassels worn for remembrance (Numbers 15:38). Rosh Chodesh: The New Moon / Beginning of the Biblical month. The Spirit of the Lawless One: How Rejecting Torah Mirrors the Adversary's Rebellion When studying the Mirroring Principle of Idolatry and the profound spiritual sensory shutdown that affects the mainstream church, we must eventually confront the ultimate, sobering reality behind this blindness. Scripture does not treat "eyes that cannot see" and "ears that cannot hear" as mere intellectual deficits or passive, accidental misunderstandings. At its absolute root, persistent unbelief and systematic disobedience to the Creator’s $Torah$ are driven by an active, operational spiritual force. The Bible reveals a stark cosmic truth: those who belong to the adversary, or align with his systems of rebellion, carry and mirror his very spirit. 1. The Operational Spirit of Disobedience (Ephesians 2:2) The Apostle Paul explicitly identified the existence of an invisible, active spiritual current that influences those who walk in disobedience to God’s instructions: “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience...” — Ephesians 2:2 Note Paul's precise vocabulary: "The spirit that now worketh..." The Greek word for "worketh" is energeo, meaning an active, operating energy. It is a spiritual frequency. "...in the children of disobedience." The Hebrew idiom "children of..." denotes a people who take on the exact characteristics, traits, and nature of their source. Just as the Holy Spirit ($Ruach$ $HaKodesh$) actively works inside believers to write the $Torah$ on their hearts and produce the fruit of obedience (Ezekiel 36:26-27) , the spirit of the adversary actively operates in those who reject God’s laws. They become spiritual receptors for the frequency of rebellion, mirroring the character of the "prince of the power of the air." 2. Defining the Adversary’s Character: Lawlessness ($Anomia$) To understand what it means to mirror the spirit of the devil, we must define his primary scriptural characteristics. From the beginning in the Garden of Eden, the adversary’s signature move was to challenge, twist, and undermine the literal commandments of God: “Yea, hath God said... ?” (Genesis 3:1). The Apostle John explains the spiritual lineage of those who make a practice of bypassing God’s written instructions: “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law [anomia]. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin... He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.” — 1 John 3:4, 8 In Greek, the word for "transgression of the law" is $anomia$, which literally means lawlessness—specifically, living as though the $Torah$ (the Law of Moses) does not exist or has no authority over you. John makes a direct, black-and-white distinction: Those who practice righteousness (aligning with God's $Torah$) mirror the Messiah $Yeshua$. Those who practice lawlessness ($anomia$) mirror the devil, who has been a rebel from the very beginning. When the church teaches that "the Law has been done away with" or that "we do not need to keep the physical commandments," they are unknowingly operating in the spirit of $anomia$. By adopting a theology of lawlessness, they point their spiritual mirrors directly at the original rebel, taking on his spiritual nature. 3. "Ye Are of Your Father the Devil" (John 8:44) The Messiah $Yeshua$ did not shy away from this reality. When confronting the religious leaders of His day—who claimed to worship the God of Abraham but actively rejected the living Word and substituted God’s commandments with human, traditional loop-holes—He diagnosed them with this exact spiritual replication: “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” — John 8:44 How do we identify someone operating under this parental spiritual influence? They cannot abide in the truth: When shown the plain, unadulterated written Word of God, they experience immediate cognitive discomfort and seek to explain it away. They prefer traditional lies: They willingly defend man-made dogmas (like Sunday sacredness or pagan-derived holidays) over the literal commandments of the Creator. They harbor hostility toward obedience: Just as the devil hates those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of $Yeshua$ (Revelation 12:17), those carrying his spirit will exhibit anger, mockery, or defensive hostility toward Torah-observant believers. 4. The Prophetic Blueprint: Changing Times and Laws The spirit of the lawless one has a specific prophetic agenda. The prophet Daniel foresaw that a power would arise in the earth that would attempt to copy the adversary's ultimate desire—to completely sever humanity from the Creator’s covenant boundaries: “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws...” — Daniel 7:25 The "times" here are the $Moedim$ (God's appointed calendar, Sabbaths, and feasts), and the "laws" are the $Torah$. When modern ecclesiastical systems changed the Sabbath to Sunday, replaced the Biblical Feasts with paganized holidays, and declared the food laws obsolete, they executed the exact agenda of the lawless one. Because churchgoers belong to and revere these traditional systems, they drink in the spirit that built them. They are not merely "uninformed"; they are influenced by a highly calculated, multi-generational spiritual current of $anomia$. This is why they cannot understand, comprehend, or accept the simple, beautiful instructions of the Father—their spiritual hardware is tuned to the frequency of the lawless one. Conclusion: A Battle of Spirits The scriptures leave us with no middle ground. We are spiritual mirrors, and we will inevitably reflect one of two spirits: The Spirit of God ($Ruach$ $HaKodesh$) The Spirit of the Lawless One ( $anomia$) Points the mirror toward the Creator. Points the mirror toward human systems & self. Writes the $Torah$ on the heart (Jer 31:33). Seeks to abolish or bypass the $Torah$. Leads to physical obedience and holiness. Leads to lawlessness disguised as "grace." Restores spiritual sight, hearing, and life. Triggers a complete sensory shutdown and blindness. If we want our family, friends, and churchgoers to escape this blindness, we must realize that we are not fighting against flesh and blood, but against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12). Only the raw, piercing truth of God’s Word—combined with the power of the Holy Spirit—can break the hold of the lawless spirit, shatter the mirror of idolatry, and restore their eyes to see and their ears to hear. The decrees of Yehovah are trustworthy , making wise the simple. The commandments of Yehovah are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of Yehovah are clear, giving insight into living. Reverence for Yehovah is pure, lasting forever. The laws of Yehovah are true; each one is fair. They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them. Psalm 19:7 The one who belongs listens and responds to Yehovah's words. If you don't listen and respond , it is because you don't belong to Yehovah." John 8:47 God's promises to those who obey him include: Being blessed Being saved Being watched over Being taken care of Being given what you ask for Being happy Living longer Lacking nothing good

The good news is that Yehovah ordained Yeshua to announce the coming of His kingdom here on earth. Many would be shocked to find out that the Bible defines the gospel differently than what they have always been told. A thorough reading shows He brought and that the apostles continued to preach. The True Gospel e The spiritual path begins with a direct call from Yeshua: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. ” This imperative is the doorway to salvation—a foundational, inward shift away from sin and a fallen world, and a redirection of the heart toward the sovereign authority of God. Matthew 4:17 — “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, ‘Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’” Mark 1:15 — “And saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.’” 2. The Doorway: Water Baptism and the Holy Spiri t Following the resurrection and ascension of Yeshua, Peter declared the active steps of covenant entry at Pentecost: turning in repentance, being buried with Messiah in baptism, and receiving divine empowerment through the Spirit. Acts 2:38 — “Then Peter said unto them, ‘Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.’” John 3:5 — “Jesus answered, ‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.’” 3. The Blood: Grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel By the blood shed on the tree, the dividing wall of hostility was torn down. Nations once alienated from the promises and covenants are brought near and grafted as wild olive branches into the root of Israel. Ephesians 2:12–13 — “That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Yesgua messiah ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” Romans 11:17 — “A nd if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree.” 4. The Commission: Gathering Others into the Harvest Salvation is not walked in isolation; a grafted branch bears fruit. Believers are commanded to act as fishers of men and ambassadors, working to gather the lost into the Father’s house before the end. Matthew 28:19–20 — “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” Matthew 9:37–38 — “Then saith he unto his disciples, ‘The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.’” Luke 14:23 — “And the lord said unto the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.’” 5. The Perseverance: Holding Fast Until the End The culmination of salvation requires endurance through trials, testing, and persecution. The promise of the eternal crown belongs to those who do not turn back. Matthew 24:13 — “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Hebrews 10:35–36 — “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.” Revelation 2:25–26 — “But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations.” Il-Vanġelu Veru Imkien fl-Iskrittura Yeshua ma jgħid li l-Evanġelju huwa dwar liH ġej biex imut għal dnubietna. Yeshua X’Ipprietka? Ħafna jkunu ixxukkjati meta jsiru jafu li l-Bibbja tiddefinixxi l-evanġelju b’mod differenti minn dak li dejjem qalulhom. Qari bir- reqqa juri li l- aċċettazzjoni tad- demm taʼ Kristu bħala ħlas taʼ dnubietna—kemm hu importanti fuq il- bażi— fil- fatt mhuwiex il- fokus tal- “aħbar tajba” li Hu ġab u li l- appostli komplew jippritkaw. Minbarra li miet għal dnubietna, Yeshua ġie fuq l-art bħala messaġġier mingħand Ġeħova l-Missier: L-aħbar tajba hija li Jehovah ordna lil Yeshua biex iħabbar il-miġja tas-saltna Tiegħu hawn fuq l-art. Ġwanni 8:38 Jien nitkellem dwar dak li rajt għand Missieri, u intom tagħmlu dak li smajtu mingħand missierkom.” Ġwanni 12:49-50 Għax jien ma tkellimtx waħdi, imma l-Missier li bagħatni hu stess tani kmandament — x’għandi ngħid u x’għandi nitkellem. 50 U naf li l-kmandament Tiegħu hu l-ħajja ta’ dejjem. Dak li ngħid jien, għalhekk, ngħidu kif qalli l-Missier.” Ġwanni 14:24 Min ma jħobbx ma jżommx kliemi. U l-kelma li tisimgħu mhix tiegħi imma tal-Missirijiet li bagħtuni. Luqa 4:43 Yeshua qalilhom: "Irrid inxandar is-saltna tal-Mulej lill-Mulej. bliet oħra wkoll, għax għal dan il-għan ġejt mibgħut.” Filwaqt li Yeshua kien kategorikament l-aktar individwu importanti li qatt mexa fuq din l-art, il-Bibbja turi biċ-ċar li l-evanġelju miġjub minn Yeshua ma kienx sempliċement dwaru nnifsu. Aqra l-istqarrijiet Tiegħu, u pprova dan għalik innifsek: Mattew 9:35 Yeshua għadda mill-bliet u l-irħula kollha, jgħallem fis-sinagogi tagħhom, jippriedka l-Evanġelju tas-Saltna u jfejjaq kull mard u mard. 36 Meta ra l-folol, ħassru mogħdrija għalihom, għax kienu ffastidjati u bla sahha, bħal nagħaġ mingħajr ragħaj.… Mark 1:14-15 Issa wara li Ġwanni tpoġġa l-ħabs, Yeshua wasal il-Galilija, jipprietka l-Evanġelju tas-saltna ta’ Alla, u qal, “Iż-żmien seħħ, u s-saltna ta’ Alla waslet. Indem, u emmnu fl-Evanġelju”. 43 Luke 8:1 Issa ġara li Ġesù għadda minn kull belt u raħal, jippriedka u jġib l-Evanġelju tas-Saltna t'Alla. Luqa 16:16 Il-liġi u l-profeti kienu sa Ġwanni. Minn dak iż-żmien is-saltna ta’ Alla ġiet ipprietkata, u kulħadd qed jagħfas fiha. Mattew 24:14 U hu aktar faċli li s-sema u l-art jgħaddu milli jonqos xi ħaġa waħda tal-liġi. U dan l-evanġelju tas-saltna jiġi mxandar fid-dinja kollha bħala xhieda lill-ġnus kollha, u mbagħad jiġi t-tmiem. It-tħabbira ta’ “aħbar tajba”—l-aqwa aħbar li setgħet tinstema’ llum—li l-Missier ta permezz ta’ Yeshua, kienet dwar is-Saltna Tiegħu ġiet stabbilita fuq l-art. X'inhu renju? Essenzjalment huwa nazzjon, biċ-ċittadini, l-art u l-liġijiet kollha tiegħu, immexxi minn gvern. Fl-użu bibliku, saltna tista’ tfisser ukoll familja minn ġenitur wieħed imkabbar f’nazzjon. Saltna għandha erba’ elementi bażiċi: re, ħakkiem suprem, jew aġent li jirregola; territorju, bil-lokalità speċifika tiegħu u l-linji tal-konfini definiti; suġġetti jew ċittadini fi ħdan dik il-ġurisdizzjoni territorjali; u liġijiet u forma ta’ gvern li permezz tagħhom tiġi eżerċitata r-rieda tal-ħakkiem. Jekk ninjoraw xi wieħed minn dawn l-elementi essenzjali—jekk ninjoraw il-messaġġ li Yeshua ġab mingħand il-Missier—ikollna fidi mgħawġa, waħda li ma ġġibx is-salvazzjoni. Min Se jkun Sultan? Ma jistaʼ jkun hemm ebda dubju li s- Sultan tas- Saltna t’Alla se jkun Yeshua. Anke jekk Hu ma eżerċita l-ebda awtorità ċivili waqt li kien fuq l-art, meta jerġa’ lura, Hu se jkun “Sultan tas-slaten u Sid tal-mulejetti” I Timotju 6:15; Apokalissi 19:16; 17:14). Profeti oħra bassru wkoll dwar sultan li ġej, mhux biss taʼ Iżrael u Ġuda, imma wkoll li jestendi għad-dinja kollha. Isaija jgħidilna: Għax twieledilna Tifel, jingħatalna Iben; u l-gvern ikun fuq spalltu. U ismu jissejjaħ l-Għaġeb, Kunsillier, Alla Qawwija, Missier ta’ Dejjem, Prinċep tal-Paċi. Iż-żieda tal-gvern Tiegħu u l-paċi ma jkunx hemm tmiem, fuq it-tron ta’ David u fuq is-saltna Tiegħu, biex tordnaha u tistabbilixxiha b’ġudizzju u ġustizzja minn dak iż-żmien 'il quddiem, saħansitra għal dejjem. Iż-żelu tal-Mulej ta’ l-eżerċti jwettaq dan. (Isaija 9:6-7) Fejn Se Tiġi Stabbilita s-Saltna? Falsità dominanti li Satana daħħal lill- umanità hija t- twemmin li r- ruħ tiegħu tmur is- sema wara l- mewt. Ħafna nies jassumu li l-frażi Saltna t’Alla hija sinonima mas-sema, imma l-Bibbja tgħallem li meta Yeshua jerġa’ lura, is-Saltna t’Alla tiġi stabbilita fuq l-art! L- ewwel, innota kif il- Bibbja tirrifjuta kompletament il- kunċett taʼ “li mmorru s- sema” wara l- mewt. Pietru jgħid lill-folla f’jum il-Pentekoste, “Rġiel ħuti, ħalluni nkellimkom bil-libertà tal-patrijarka David, li hu mejjet u midfun, u l-qabar tiegħu jinsab magħna sal-lum. .. Għax David ma telax fis-smewwiet" (Atti 2:29, 34). Dan il-"bniedem skond il-qalb ta' Alla" mhux fis-sema, imma għadu fil-qabar! Is-Salvatur tagħna jikkonferma dan f' Ġwanni 3:13: “Ħadd ma tela’ s-sema ħlief Hu li niżel mis-sema, jiġifieri Bin il-bniedem li hu fis-sema”. Ekkleżjasti 9:5,10 Il-qaddisin mejta tat-Testment il-Qadim u l-Ġdid bl-istess mod qed jorqdu fl-oqbra tagħhom, jistennew il-qawmien - mingħajr sensi. Ġob 14:14-15 Ġob jiddeskrivi l-istennija għall-qawmien b’dan il-mod: “Jekk bniedem imut, jerġa’ jgħix? Il-jiem kollha tas-servizz iebes tiegħi nistenna, sakemm tiġi l-bidla tiegħi. Int issejjaħ, u jien tweġibek. Apokalissi 5:10, "U għamilthom saltna (razza rjali) u qassisin għal Alla tagħna, u jsaltan fuq l-art!" Apokalissi 11:15 Imbagħad is-seba 'anġlu daqq: U kien hemm vuċijiet qawwija fis-sema, li jgħidu; “Is-saltniet ta’ din id-dinja saru s-saltniet tal-Mulej tagħna u ta’ Ibnu, u Hu jsaltan għal dejjem ta’ dejjem!” Apokalissi 21:21 . U rajt ġenna ġdida u art ġdida, għax l-ewwel sema u l-ewwel art kienu għaddew. Ukoll ma kienx hemm aktar baħar. Imbagħad jien, Ġwanni, rajt il-belt qaddisa, Ġerusalemm il-Ġdida, nieżla mis-sema mingħand Alla, imħejjija bħala għarusa mżejna għal żewġha. U smajt leħen qawwi mis-sema jgħid: "Ara, it-tabernaklu ta' Alla huwa mal-bnedmin, u jgħammar magħhom, u huma jkunu l-poplu tiegħu. Alla nnifsu jkun magħhom u jkun Alla tagħhom. U Alla jimsaħ. kelli kull demgħa minn għajnejhom, ma jkunx hemm aktar mewt, la niket, u lanqas biki. Ma jkunx hemm aktar wġigħ, għax dak ta’ qabel għadda. ... Apokalissi 21:1 Min jirbaħ jirtu kollox, u jien inkun Alla tiegħu u hu ibni.” Min Huma s-Suġġetti u ċ-Ċittadini tas-Saltna? Anke jekk id-dinja kollha se tkun immexxija minn Yeshua meta jistabbilixxi s-Saltna fuq art, mhux kulħadd fuq l-art se jkun ċittadin ta’ dik is-Saltna Kulħadd se jkun suġġett għas-Sultan tas-slaten, imma mhux kulħadd ikun daħal f’dik is-Saltna spiritwali. Ġwanni 3:3 Yeshua wera din il-verità lil Nikodemu. Meta Nikodemu ġie lejh bil-lejl, Yeshua qallu: “Tassew, ngħidlek, jekk ma jitwieledx mill-ġdid, ma jistax jara s-Saltna ta’ Alla”. I Korintin 15:50 . Pawlu qal lill-Korintin “il-laħam u d-demm [bnedmin mortali] ma jistgħux jirtu s-saltna t’Alla; u lanqas il-korruzzjoni ma tirtu l-inkorruzzjoni” Filwaqt li għandna ġisem fiżiku, laħam u demm, nistgħu nkunu werrieta tas-Saltna, imma ma nistgħux nidħlu. fis- Saltna bis- sħiħ, u lanqas ma nistgħu narawha, sakemm insiru spirtu—jingħataw ġisem glorjuż magħmul minn spirti fl- irxoxt. Dan ifisser li, minkejja li l-umanità kollha se tkun soġġetta għas-Saltna li Yeshua se jaħkem fuq l-art, mhux bilfors ikunu parti minnha. Mattew 25:31-34 Meta Bin il-bniedem jiġi fil-glorja tiegħu, u l-anġli qaddisin kollha miegħu, imbagħad ipoġġi fuq it-tron tal-glorja Tiegħu. Il-ġnus kollha jinġabru quddiemu, u Hu jifridhom lil xulxin, bħalma ragħaj jaqsam in-nagħaġ tiegħu mill-mogħoż. U jpoġġi n-nagħaġ fuq il-lemin tiegħu, imma l-mogħoż fuq ix-xellug. Imbagħad is-Sultan jgħid lil dawk fuq il-lemin Tiegħu: "Ejjew, intom bierka minn Missieri, irtu s-saltna mħejjija għalikom mill-bidu tad-dinja." Is-Saltna t’Alla, mela, se tiġi mmexxija minn Yeshua, u se tintiret minn dawk li ġew igglorifikati malli ġew irxoxtati mill-imwiet. Il- qaddisin irxoxtati—ċittadini tas- Saltna t’Alla—se jaħkmu flimkien magħhom Yeshua fuq il-popli li fadal tad-dinja (Danjel 7:27; II Timotju 2:12; Apokalissi 2:26-28; 5:9-10; 20:4-6; 22:5). X'inhuma l-Liġijiet tas-Saltna? Imħallfin 21:25 . Il-liġi hija sempliċement gwida li n-nies għandhom isegwu biex jiżguraw koeżjoni, ftehim u paċi fir-relazzjonijiet ċivili u interpersonali. Mingħajr standard mifhum, infurzat minn ħakkiem sovran, kulħadd kien jaġixxi skont il-kappriċċ jew ix-xewqa tiegħu, u ma jiġi prodott xejn tajjeb jew siewi. Is-Saltna t’Alla mhix differenti. I Korintin 14:33 Alla mhuwiex l-awtur ta 'konfużjoni. Is-Saltna tiegħu tkun paċifika u ordnata għax kull min se jidħol fiha jkun issottometta ruħu volontarjament għal-liġi – il-kmandamenti – ta’ Alla. Alla ma jkollu lil ħadd fis-Saltna Tiegħu li juri, bil-mudell ta’ ħajtu, li mhux se jobdih. (Mattew 7:21-23; Lhud 10:26-31). Apokalissi 12:17 jiddeskrivi lill-qaddisin bħala dawk “li jżommu l-kmandamenti ta’ Alla u għandhom ix-xhieda ta’ Yeshua. Dawn iż-żewġ stqarrijiet - li tħobb lil Alla u tħobb lill-proxxmu tiegħek bħala lilek innifsek - jiġbru l-ewwel erba’ u l-aħħar sitt kmandamenti rispettivament. Il-kmandamenti sempliċement jiddefinixxu aktar kif tħobb lil Alla u tħobb lill-bniedem. Aħna nħobbu lil Alla b’mod ġenerali billi npoġġuh l-ewwel, billi ma nadottawx għajnuniet fiżiċi biex nadurawh, billi ma nġorrux ismu għalxejn, u billi nżommu s-Sabbath tas-seba’ jum qaddis. Aħna nħobbu lill-bniedem, b’mod ġenerali, billi nonoraw lill-ġenituri tagħna, mhux noqtlu, ma nagħmlux adulterju, ma nisirqux, ma nigdebdux, u ma nixgħqux. Ġwanni 14:15 "Jekk intom tħobbuni, żommu l-kmandamenti Tiegħi. "Min għandu l-kmandamenti Tiegħi u jħareshom, hu li jħobbni. U min iħobbni jkun maħbub minn Missieri, u jien inħobbu u nuri. Jien lilu." "Jekk xi ħadd iħobbni, iħares kelmti, u Missieri jħobbu, u aħna nersqu għandu u nagħmlu darna miegħu. Min ma jħobbnix ma jżommx kliemi, u l-kelma li tisimgħu intom. mhix tiegħi imma l-Missirijiet li bagħtuni”. The Gospel (in Hebrew, the Besorah—"good news") that Yeshua (Jesus) personally preached is summarized in Mark 1:14–15: "Now after John was put in prison, Yeshua came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, 'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.'" While modern ears often hear "the gospel" defined exclusively as the mechanics of individual salvation (how to go to heaven when you die), Yeshua’s proclamation was broader, deeper, and grounded in the Hebrew Scriptures: the Gospel of the Kingdom of God (Besorat HaMalkhut). He announced that the sovereign rule, authority, and covenant reign of the Creator had broken directly into this fallen world through the King Himself. 1. "The Time is Fulfilled" (Prophetic Arrival) When Yeshua said the time was fulfilled, He was speaking to a nation longing for deliverance. The prophecies of Daniel (the timeline of Daniel 9 and the stone that crushes the kingdoms of the world in Daniel 2) and Isaiah were reaching their climax. In Luke 4:18–19, He opened the scroll of Isaiah 61 in the Nazareth synagogue to define His mandate: Preaching good tidings to the poor and humble. Healing the brokenhearted. Proclaiming liberty to the captives and the opening of prison to those who are bound. Proclaiming the acceptable year of the Lord (the ultimate Jubilee release from sin and debt). 2. "The Kingdom of God is at Hand" (The Core Proclamation) Yeshua did not preach an abstract philosophy; He preached an active government and reign: Sovereignty over the Kingdom of Darkness: Every time Yeshua cast out a demon, healed incurable diseases, or raised the dead, He was demonstrating that Satan’s usurpation of the earth was being overthrown. "If I cast out demons by the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you" (Luke 11:20). The Nature of the King’s Reign: His kingdom was not of this worldly system—it did not advance through political intrigue, violence, or human armies (John 18:36). Instead, it advanced through truth, sacrificial love, humility, and righteousness. Present and Future: The Kingdom is already here in the hearts and walk of those who submit to the King, and it is yet to come in its physical, global fullness when the King returns to establish His reign in Jerusalem (Zechariah 14; Revelation 11:15). 3. "Repent" (Teshuvah — A Complete Return) To enter this Kingdom, the requirement was not a passive intellectual nod, but Teshuvah—a radical turning around: Turning from Self-Rule to God's Rule: Repentance means laying down rebellion, secular autonomy, and false religious pretenses. Internalizing the Commandments: In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7), Yeshua explained the constitution of the Kingdom. He made it clear that He did not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, but to fill them to the full (Matthew 5:17). Kingdom repentance goes beyond external legalism to the motives of the heart—eradicating lust, hatred, pride, and greed. Fruit of Repentance: Just as John the Baptist warned, Yeshua taught that true repentance always bears observable, righteous fruit (Matthew 7:16–21). 4. "Believe in the Good News" (Covenant Faith & Allegiance) In the biblical mindset, "belief" (emunah) is not merely agreeing that God exists; it is active loyalty, trust, and obedience to the King: Trusting the Father’s Provision: Ceasing to worry about food, drink, and clothing like the nations do, but rather "seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (Matthew 6:33). Trusting the Sacrifice of the Son: Yeshua taught that He came "not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). The Good News is that the King took the curse of our disobedience upon Himself at Passover, shedding His blood to ratify the New Covenant (Matthew 26:28). Victory Over the Grave: Yeshua promised that whoever hears His word and believes Him who sent Him has passed from death into life (John 5:24), anchored by His own resurrection as the firstfruits from the dead. 5. Summary: What Entering the Gospel Requires In Yeshua's own words, walking in the Gospel means: Denying Self: "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me" (Luke 9:23). Obeying the Father's Will: "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven" (Matthew 7:21). Loving God and Neighbor: Loving the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and loving your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:29–31). Proclaiming the Kingdom to All Nations: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come" (Matthew 24:14). In short, the Gospel Yeshua taught is the royal proclamation that God’s reign has arrived in His Messiah, calling every human heart to turn away from sin, enter covenant peace with the Father through the Son, and live as an obedient citizen of His eternal Kingdom. In ancient kingdoms, when a king ascended his throne, he issued a royal charter or legal code declaring how his realm would be governed and what was expected of his subjects. In Matthew 5–7, Yeshua goes up on a mountain—echoing Moses ascending Mount Sinai—sits down in the posture of a reigning king and teacher, and delivers the manifesto of His newly inaugurated reign. The Sermon on the Mount is not an impractical, idealistic philosophy, nor is it a checklist to earn salvation. It is the living, practical constitution of the Kingdom of God, dictating the character, inner motives, ethics, and daily allegiance required of every citizen walking under Messiah's rule. 1. The Preamble: The Citizen’s Internal Disposition (The Beatitudes) Any national constitution opens with foundational values. Earthly empires prize military conquest, political clout, wealth, and self-assertion. Yeshua begins His charter (Matthew 5:3–12) by turning the world's value system completely upside down: Poor in Spirit: Recognizing total spiritual bankruptcy and utter dependence on the King. Mourning: Grieving over personal sin and the brokenness of a fallen world. Meekness: Possessing harnessed strength, patience, and humility rather than violent ambition. Hunger for Righteousness: Longing for God’s righteous order to prevail more than craving food or physical comfort. Mercy and Purity of Heart: Extending forgiveness and maintaining undivided, uncorrupted loyalty to God. Peacemaking: Actively reconciling estranged parties, reflecting the character of the Father. These are not separate groups of people receiving different rewards; together, they describe the temperament of the citizen who has laid down self-rule. 2. The Citizen’s Public Office: Salt and Light Citizens of the Kingdom do not live in isolationist enclaves; they are embedded directly into a decaying and dark culture (Matthew 5:13–16): Salt of the Earth: In antiquity, salt was a preservative that arrested rot and decay. Kingdom citizens preserve truth, hold back moral corruption, and bring spiritual flavor to the societies they inhabit. Light of the World: Light exposes danger and guides the traveler. Believers do not hide their allegiance to the King; their visible, tangible good works shine so that observers give glory directly to the Father. 3. The Legal Standard: Fulfilling and Internalizing the Law In Matthew 5:17–20, Yeshua establishes the legal framework of His government, dispelling any thought of lawlessness or anarchy: "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 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." To "fulfill" (pleroo) in Hebrew thought means to bring the law to its fullest intended meaning and expression, not to abolish it. Yeshua contrasts the superficial, external legalism of the religious establishment with the King’s internal standard. Through a series of six antitheses ("You have heard that it was said... but I say to you"), He shows that the King's law governs the thoughts and desires before an act is ever committed: Murder vs. Contempt: It is not enough to refrain from physical murder; harboring bitter anger, resentment, or hurling venomous insults (Raca) makes one liable to judgment (5:21–26). Adultery vs. Lust: Purity is not just refraining from physical unfaithfulness; looking with covetous intent is adultery in the heart (5:27–30). Oaths vs. Total Integrity: Citizens do not need elaborate religious oaths or legal loopholes to verify their truthfulness; their word is their bond—their "Yes" means yes, and their "No" means no (5:33–37). Retaliation vs. Sacrificial Generosity: Rather than demanding immediate vengeance ("an eye for an eye"), citizens yield personal rights, go the extra mile, and overcome evil with good (5:38–42). Love for Enemies: The ultimate test of Kingdom citizenship is reflecting the Father’s indiscriminate benevolence—praying for persecutors and blessing those who curse you (5:43–48). 4. Public Duty & Worship: Sincerity Over Religious Theater In Matthew 6, Yeshua regulates the three primary pillars of personal religious duty: giving, prayer, and fasting. In earthly systems, piety is often weaponized for social prestige. In the Kingdom, performance art is condemned: Secret Giving (Alms): Giving to the needy without sounding a trumpet or announcing tax write-offs; the left hand does not know what the right is doing. Secret Prayer: Communing behind closed doors with the Father, rather than reciting vain, repetitive words to impress bystanders. He provides the Model Prayer (the Lord's Prayer), teaching citizens to align their desires with the Father’s name, His kingdom coming, and His will being done on earth. Secret Fasting: Anointing the head and washing the face so that the physical affliction of fasting is unseen by men, directed only to the Father who sees in secret. 5. The Economic System: Trust, Not Striving Every kingdom has an economy. The economy of the world is driven by fear, scarcity, hoarding, and status anxiety. The Kingdom of God operates on radical faith in divine provision (Matthew 6:19–34): Currency: True wealth is not stored in physical barns, bank vaults, or commodities where moth and rust destroy; it is stored in heaven through generous, righteous living. Singular Focus: A servant cannot serve two masters. You cannot pledge allegiance to the Creator while serving Mammon (wealth/money). Freedom from Worry: Citizens do not sweat and panic over daily bread or clothing like the pagans do. The King feeds the birds of the air and clothes the lilies of the field. The citizen's sole operational directive is: "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6:33) 6. Relational Protocol: Righteous Discernment Without Self-Righteous Condemnation In Matthew 7:1–12, Yeshua sets the rules for how citizens treat one another: The Spec and the Log: Before attempting to perform delicate eye surgery on a brother’s fault, remove the massive log of blind self-righteousness from your own eye. Holy Discernment: While judgment is warned against, discernment is commanded—do not cast pearls before swine or give what is sacred to dogs. Persistent Petitions: Keep asking, seeking, and knocking, trusting that the Father gives good gifts to His children. The Royal Rule (The Golden Rule): "Whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." (Matthew 7:12) 7. The Ratification: Hearing vs. Doing A constitution is useless if it is merely read and debated rather than obeyed. Yeshua concludes His address with four sobering warnings demanding personal allegiance: Two Gates: The wide, crowded gate leading to destruction versus the narrow, difficult gate leading to life (7:13–14). Two Trees: True prophets and false prophets, known not by their charisma or titles, but by their actual fruit (7:15–20). Two Confessions: Warning that crying "Lord, Lord" or performing signs in His name is worthless if one practices lawlessness (anomia). Only those who do the will of the Father will enter (7:21–23). Two Foundations: The sermon ends with a dramatic builder’s test. The person who hears these words and builds on them is a wise man who digs deep and anchors his house on the solid bedrock. When the storms, floods, and winds beat against that life, it stands firm. The person who hears and does not obey builds on shifting sand—and great is the fall of it (7:24–27). When Yeshua concluded, the crowds were astonished. He did not quote human traditions or cite precedent like the scribes; He spoke as the Lawgiver and King Himself, laying down the permanent, unalterable rule of life for all who call Him Lord.

"Do you want to believe what the Bible says or what you have been taught it says? I can prove it The Final Verdict "The cross was never meant to be a place where the Law died; it was the place where the Penalty was paid so that you could finally be empowered to obey. If you come to the cross but flee from the Commandments, you haven't been saved —you've just been comforted in your rebellion."You’re like a convict handed a full pardon who chooses to stay locked up just for the free meals." Stop turning back. The same Yeshua who bled for you is the same God who wrote the Commandments with His own finger. "You cannot have the King without His Commandments. Choose the whole Truth, or you have nothing at all." Betrayal of God Names matters 12 tribes of Israel Ħej Christian, għandek problema, fejn tgħid dan fl-Iskrittura?

But 1 John 233:4 says sin is the breaking of the Law. The Confrontation: "How can you celebrate being saved from your sins while simultaneously bragging that you don't have to keep the Law? If the Law is gone, then sin no longer exists, and you didn't even need a Savior. Read 1 John 3:4." The Verse: "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." The Shock: "If you refuse to keep the Commandments, you are saying, 'I want to be forgiven for breaking the rules, but I reserve the right to keep breaking them.' That isn't faith; that is a legal insult to the Judge. You are asking for a pardon while holding the weapon you used to commit the crime." The "Love" Deception Most people say, "I don't need the Commandments; I just love God." The Confrontation: "You claim to love the Creator, but you refuse to listen to how He wants to be loved. The Bible doesn't let you define love your way. Read 1 John 5:3." The Verse: "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous." The Shock: "If you turn away when confronted by the Commandments, you are proving that you don't actually love God—you love the feeling of being forgiven. You love yourself, not the Creator." The "Narrow Gate" vs. The "Wide Cross" People want a "Wide Cross" that accepts everyone regardless of their rebellion. But Yeshua described a Narrow Gate. The Confrontation: "Modern religion has invented a broad path where you can confess Messiah with your lips but live like the rest of the world. But the real Yeshua didn't offer a frictionless road. Read Matthew 7:13-14." The Verse: "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." The Shock: "The Gate is narrow because the Commandments are the boundary. If you turn around when you see the requirements of the Sabbath, the Dietary Laws, and the Appointed Times, you are choosing the Wide Road. You are essentially saying the price of following the real Yeshua is too high. You would rather have a comfortable lie than a difficult Truth." The "Great Disconnect" (The Hypocrisy of the Covenant) This is the "Great Disconnect" of modern Christianity. People treat the cross like a drive-through window for mercy, but they treat the Commandments like a wall they refuse to climb. The Confrontation: "You want the benefits of a King without honoring His jurisdiction. You claim the protection of the Blood of the Covenant, but you flatly reject the Terms of the Covenant. You cannot sign a legal contract, claim the inheritance, and then tear up the stipulations. Read Hebrews 10:29." The Verse: " Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?" The Shock: "If you are delivering this as a 'Shock and Awe' message, you have to expose the hypocrisy of wanting the Blood of the Covenant while rejecting the Terms of the Covenant. To take His blood for your cleansing while calling His Sabbath or His dietary instructions 'done away with' is to treat His sacrifice as a cheap license for lawlessness. You aren't honoring the Savior; you are treating the ultimate cosmic execution as a get-out-of-jail-free card so you can keep running your own life." . The Cowardice of the Partial Convert "You are willing to walk to the cross because it feels like a gift, but you turn your back the moment you see the Commandments. You want a Savior, but you refuse a Lord." The Confrontation: "You have a selective faith that only accepts the parts of God that give you comfort while fleeing from the parts that demand your submission. You want the security of His sacrifice, but you are too terrified to let Him govern your schedule, your plate, or your lifestyle. Read Luke 6:46." The Verse: "But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do the things which I say?" The Shock: "A partial conversion is nothing more than spiritual cowardice. It is the mindset of a person who wants the crown but despises the crown's authority. True conversion requires a total surrender of your self-will. If you only obey God when it aligns with what you already wanted to do, you aren't serving the King—you are still serving yourself." The Proof of Love In John 14:15, Yeshua directly links love to action, removing all room for emotional sentimentality or lip service. The Confrontation: "You can weep at the altar, raise your hands during the worship songs, and tell anyone who will listen how much you love Jesus. But the Messiah Himself does not measure your love by your goosebumps or your tears. He measures it by your track record of obedience. Read John 14:15." The Verse: "If ye love me, keep my commandments." The Shock: "To claim you love Him while walking in open defiance of His Torah—ignoring His Sabbath, His Dietary Laws, and His Appointed Times—is a profound delusion. You are treating the King of Kings like a casual boyfriend whom you can sweet-talk while completely ignoring his boundaries and expectations. True love isn't an emotion you feel; it is a legal, actionable commitment to submit to His authority." Testing Your Profession In 1 John 2:4, the Scripture sets an absolute, uncompromising standard for anyone who claims to belong to the Almighty, emphasizing that lip service without a changed life is a falsehood. The Confrontation: "You tell people you have a personal relationship with the Creator. You check the box on your social media profile, wear the jewelry, and claim to 'know' Him. But the Bible has a brutal, single-sentence test to determine if you are telling the truth or telling a lie. Read 1 John 2:4." The Verse: "He that saith, 'I know him,' and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." The Shock: "This isn't a suggestion; it's a legal verdict from the Word of God. According to the Apostle John, if you boast about knowing the Savior but refuse to guard His Torah—His Sabbath, His Dietary Laws, and His Appointed Times—the Bible doesn't call you a 'growing Christian' or a 'believer under grace.' It calls you a liar. If your profession of faith doesn't alter your lifestyle, your calendar, and your obedience, your testimony is nothing but a fraudulent presentation to the world." The Distinction (Stumble vs. Betrayal) You have to know the difference between a servant who trips on the path and a rebel who walks off it. The Confrontation: "Many people excuse their lifelong disregard for God's instructions by saying, 'Nobody's perfect, we all stumble.' But there is a massive legal difference between a soldier who falls in the mud during battle and a deserter who runs to the enemy's camp. Read Proverbs 24:16." The Verse: "For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall into calamity." The Shock: "A stumble is a mistake made while trying to stay on the narrow path, followed by immediate repentance (Teshuvah). Betrayal is the intentional decision to walk away from the path because you prefer your own way over His. Bottom Line: Betrayal is knowing the Master’s house rules and choosing to treat them as optional. When you know the Sabbath, the Dietary Laws, and the Appointed Times are His standard, yet you deliberately choose to treat them as suggestions, you aren't stumbling—you are walking in open revolt." The Reality of False Conversion: Just Getting Wet True salvation demands a total legal surrender: absolute repentance, a dedication to obedience, and the execution of baptism. If you go through these motions without a radical change of mind and direction, you are simply getting wet. The Confrontation: "People treat baptism like a magical ritual that automatically punches their ticket to heaven, regardless of how they live afterward. But water cannot wash away a rebellious heart. You walk out of the water just as lost as you went in, because an unrepented record of debt cannot be canceled. Read Acts 5:32." The Verse: " And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him." The Shock: "To legally belong to the Creator, you must receive His Holy Spirit and actively walk in His Truth. But here is the hard line: God will never give His Holy Spirit to those who choose to live in disobedience. If your lifestyle still rejects the Sabbath, the Dietary Laws, and His Appointed Times, you are operating without the Spirit of Christ. You haven't been born again; you just went for a swim while holding onto your sins." The Execution of Spiritual Blindness Without the indwelling of the Spirit, a devastating spiritual sentence is carried out against you. The Confrontation: "You think you can reject the Master's instructions and still have spiritual clarity. But the moment you walk away from His Torah, a legal judgment takes place in your mind. You are stripped of your discernment, leaving you completely vulnerable. Read Isaiah 29:10." The Verse: "For the Lord has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and He has covered your heads, the seers." The Shock: "Without the indwelling of the Spirit, a devastating spiritual sentence is carried out against you: The Standard of True Alignment True alignment with the Almighty cannot be faked, bartered, or replaced by a pastoral ritual. It requires a two-part structural reality. The Confrontation: "Many believe that a regular church attendance record, a title, or a recommendation from a pastor gives them legal standing before the throne. But the Judge does not accept human credentials or forged paperwork. Read John 4:24." The Verse: "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." The Shock: "True alignment requires a two-part structural reality: An Internal Transformation executed strictly by the Holy Spirit. An Unwavering Commitment to worship Him in Spirit and in absolute, uncompromised Truth. Without both, you are standing in a courtroom trying to present a fraudulent contract to the Judge. You cannot bring the 'spirit' of emotional worship while throwing out the 'truth' of His Commandments, nor can you bring cold ritual without the Spirit. If you lack either one, the contract is null and void, and you are legally exposed before the Court." The Resurrection: The "True" Hope In the Hebrew mindset, the reward isn't "going to heaven" as a disembodied soul. The reward is the Resurrection of the Body at the end of the age. The Confrontation: "Modern religion has invented a sentimental, unbiblical fairy tale about floating off to heaven on a cloud the moment you die. This pagan view of a disembodied afterlife completely bypasses the central hope of the scriptures: the physical resurrection from the dead. Read John 3:13 and Acts 2:34." The Verses: * Yeshua’s Fact: "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven." (John 3:13) David’s Fact: "For David did not ascend into the heavens..." (Acts 2:34) The Shock: "The Biblical Timeline is clear: when a person dies, they return to the dust—entering a state of sleep in Sheol—where they remain until they are awakened by the Master at the 'Last Trumpet.' By replacing the Resurrection with an instant escape-to-heaven philosophy, you strip the return of Messiah of its ultimate power. You don't go to Him in the sky forever; He comes down here to awaken His saints from the dirt, conquer death, and establish His physical Kingdom on the earth." The "Thief on the Cross" Objection This is the verse most often used by the carnal mind to "prove" that people go to heaven immediately when they die, bypassing the resurrection. The Confrontation: "People point to the thief on the cross as a get-out-of-jail-free card for an instant escape to heaven. They use one sentence to wipe out the entire biblical timeline of the resurrection. But they are completely missing the grammatical and historical reality of the text. Read Luke 23:43." The Verses: * The Thief's Request: "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." (Luke 23:42) Yeshua's Response: "And Jesus said to him, 'Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.'" (Luke 23:43) The Shock: " The original Greek text had no punctuation or commas. Where a translator places the comma completely changes the meaning: Interpretation A (Traditional): 'Truly I tell you, today you will be with me...' Interpretation B (Hebrew Context): 'Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in paradise.' The absolute proof is that Yeshua Himself did not go to Paradise or heaven that afternoon. He went into the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. Three days later, He told Mary Magdalene in John 20:17, 'Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father.' If the Master Himself hadn't gone to heaven yet, the thief wasn't there either. Yeshua was giving a solemn promise on that specific day of crucifixion that the thief would ultimately have a place in the future, physical Kingdom at the resurrection." The "Truth Only" Summary According to the literal text, when a person dies, they "rest" or "sleep" in the grave (Sheol). They remain there, unconscious of the passage of time, until the Resurrection at the return of Yeshua. The Confrontation: " Stop looking for an escape hatch into a disembodied, spiritualized ether. The Almighty created man from the dirt of the ground, and His ultimate plan has always been a physical, earthly inheritance. The focus of the end times is not about us going up to live with Him—it is about Him coming down to live with us. Read Revelation 21:3." The Verse: " And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.’" The Shock: "The 'True' destination for the righteous is not a distant heaven, but a restored Earth where the Master sets up His throne. You are not going to spend eternity floating away from the physical creation; you are going to be resurrected into an incorruptible body to rule and reign right here on the ground. To cling to the traditional 'heavenly reward' is to fundamentally misunderstand the destination of the Narrow Road." To address the "true rapture" using the Truth Only approach, we must distinguish between the popular modern "Left Behind" theory and what is actually written in the original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts. The Confrontation: " Modern church culture has fed you a comforting fairy tale of a secret, silent escape pod designed to snatch you away before things get difficult. You’ve been trained to look for a backdoor out of tribulation instead of preparing your house to endure it. Read 1 Thessalonians 4:17." The Verse: "Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we shall always be with the Lord." The Shock: "The word 'Rapture' does not even appear in your English Bible. It comes from the Latin rapio, translating the Greek harpazo (to snatch or seize). But the modern church has completely twisted the mechanics, the timing, and the purpose of this event to fit a narrative that the ancient prophets and apostles never taught." 1. The Timeline: Pre-Tribulation vs. Post-Tribulation The most common modern teaching suggests that believers disappear before a time of trouble. However, if we look at the literal words of Yeshua, the sequence is completely reversed. The Verse (Matthew 24:29-31): "Immediately after the tribulation of those days... they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds..." The Shock: "In the literal words of the Messiah Himself, the 'gathering'—what you call the Rapture—happens after the tribulation, not before. The modern church is prepping people for an escape that isn't coming, leaving an entire generation completely unequipped to stand firm in the face of the enemy." 2. The "One Taken, One Left" Misconception Many people use Matthew 24:40 ("two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left") to describe a secret vanishing act of the righteous. But in a Hebrew context, being 'taken' is a death sentence. The Verse (Matthew 24:38-39): "For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." The Shock: "Go back to the pattern of Noah's day. The ones 'taken' were not the righteous flying away to safety—the ones 'taken' were the wicked who were swept away by the judgment of the flood to their destruction! The ones 'left behind' were Noah and his family, the righteous who remained on the ground to inherit the cleansed earth. You are actively praying for the wrong outcome." 3. The Historical Origin of the Secret Escape If this secret, pre-tribulation flight plan isn't in the literal words of Scripture, where did it come from? The Fact: "This doctrine was virtually unknown for the first 1,800 years of Church history. It was popularized around 1830 AD by John Nelson Darby, who developed a system called 'Dispensationalism.' It became cement in the American mind when it was printed in the study footnotes of the Scofield Reference Bible in 1909. You are risking your spiritual survival on a 19th-century human invention that was cross-referenced into your margins." 4. The Hebrew Concept: The Royal Meeting In the ancient world, when a King or a Bridegroom approached a city, the citizens did not run out to meet him so they could escape with him back to his home. They went out to escort him into their territory. The Verse (Matthew 25:6): "And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’" The Shock: " In 1 Thessalonians 4:17, the Greek word for 'meet' is apantesis. In ancient custom, and in every other New Testament usage (like the Parable of the Ten Virgins), apantesis means going out to greet an arriving dignitary and immediately turning around to escort him back to where he was heading. The 'Rapture' is not a flight away to heaven for seven years; it is a glorious, royal welcome in the air to meet the arriving King, Yeshua, as He descends to execute judgment and establish His permanent Kingdom right here on E arth."

12 Tribes of Israel Are you a Christian ?? What did Jesus do Are you a Real Christian Counterfit Christian Churches Who Teach Us to Keep Sunday Admit It’s NOT the Sabbath of the Bible Follow your own heart NOT Spiritual Blindness The spiritually blind hear the truth, but they cannot see what it means. They cannot see the “big picture” of salvation, and they are unable to see how it applies to their own life. They have trouble confessing the truth because they have difficulty believing what they cannot see. John 3:13. ESV No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. NIV No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. Profile of a fake Christian The Christianity of the new testament doesn't exist Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test? 2 Corinthians 13:5 The Messiah is the only person in history who never sinned. He showed us how to love God and our neighbor by walking out the Torah perfectly—keeping the Sabbath, eating clean, and honoring the Appointed Days. He explicitly commanded us to walk exactly as He walked. When a person claims to be a Christian and a follower yet lives in total opposition to His steps, they are betraying Him—pretending to be His friend while actively working against His commandments. 1 John 2:6 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. John 14:15 If anyone says, “I know Him, but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 2:4 Teaching against obedience to God’s commandments is a betrayal of His Word because it directly undermines His authority in four ways: It Erases the Definition of Sin: Scripture explicitly defines sin as "the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). If you throw out the Law, you destroy the only boundary that defines right from wrong. It Defies Yeshua’s Direct Warning: The Messiah specifically warned that anyone who breaks the commandments and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom (Matthew 5:19). It Replaces Divine Truth with Human Tradition: Bypassing God's Feasts, dietary laws, and Sabbath always leads to a common substitution—making the Word of God "of none effect" through human traditions (Mark 7:13). It Separates Faith from True Loyalty: Scripture states, "This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments" (1 John 5:3). Teaching against obedience strips believers of the concrete actions required to show true covenant loyalty. The Bottom Line: Telling people they are free to ignore the Father's instructions mimics the very first deception in the Garden: "Yea, hath God said...?" It doesn't just misinterpret Scripture; it actively trains people to live in comfortable transgression. Christianity, the most lawless religion on earth People cant separate their emotions from the truth What makes 90% of Christians Christians they say they are Israel Sin is the transgression of all God's Laws But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. you will not practice sinning. The creator's name is Yehovah His name means He saves He calls many but chooses few He has a son His name is Yeshua His name means salvation All salvation has to go through him Anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remain under God's angry judgment 1 John 2:6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. Last but not least is The Holy Spirit God gives only to those who obey them. Having the Holy Spirit in us is our prof we are saved. God called His chosen Israel consisting of twelve of Israel In His kingdom there are only 12 gates with the names of the 12 tribes no other ways into the kingdom. Any affection or feeling or emotion stirred up by error or false doctrine is worthless. The true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father seeketh such to worship Barns Group survey. "Believers don't care what the truth Is, or care what Yehovah desires from us. We are afraid of looking into, it because it will draw a line in the sand, we know we don't want to make those decisions because at the end of the day, we want what we want, we are comfortable with our lives we are comfortable out traditions that are man-made. But you have a thought that pops into your head that's not what it means to me. The issue is it doesn't matter to you it matters to Yehovah He is the one being worshiped." The problem facing the church is not that people lack a complete set of beliefs the problem is that have a full state of beliefs in mind, which they think are consistent with biblical teachings, and they are neither open to being proven wrong nor learning new insights. The bottom line is among both clergy and laity was indifference toward their acknowledged lack of evaluation" Barrna Profile of a Fake Christian They disobey God's commandments they don't keep the Sabbath, They eat unclean, and they refuse to keep God's appointed times.

Barna survey with 54,000 different dominations. 7 Questions to Ask to Spot a Fake Christian 1. Are they controlled by the Holy Spirit? When you received Christ, the Holy Spirit came and began living inside you. Walking in the flesh instead of the Spirit can be a tell-tale sign of something fishy (Galatians 5:16-18) . We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”Acts 5:32 2. Do they have a new nature? When you are born again, you become a new creation with new desires, a new mind, and a new heart. If there isn’t evidence of any of these then, “Houston, we’ve got a problem!” 3. Do they have Christ’s agape love for others? By this, all will know that you are my disciples if you have a love for one another. John 13:35 The Bottom Line: No love, no Christ, yes love, yes Christ… 4. Do they obey God’s Commandments? Now by this, we know that we know Him if we keep His commandments. -1 John 2:3 Christians Can and will stop practicing sinning because they have the Holy Spirit inside them. 5. Is their fruit in their life? The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22- 23 ). True Christians will have these spiritual fruits in their lives. 6. Are they becoming more like Jesus? The true markings of a Christian is that he or she is becoming like their Master. If someone isn’t becoming more like Jesus, then chances are they are not a follower of Jesus. 7. Have they put their trust in Jesus for their salvation? Ask someone one of these questions to see who or what they are trusting in for their salvation. If it ain’t Yeshua, then they ain’t saved. Beware, there are many fake Christians 1. Matthew 15:8 These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 2. Isaiah 29:13 And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote. the process of learning something by repetition, rather than by really understanding it: 3. James 1:26 If a person thinks that he is religious but can’t control his tongue, he is fooling himself. That person’s religion is worthless. 4 1 John 2:9 Those who say that they are in the light but hate other believers are still in the dark. 5. Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but they deny him by what they do. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit to do anything good. Bible verses about fake Christians Sadly many false believers will be expecting to go to Heaven and will be denied entrance. The best way to avoid being one is to make sure you have truly put your trust in Christ alone for salvation. When you have repented and put your faith in Christ that will lead to a change of life. Follow God and educate yourself with his Word. Many people follow false teachings from the Bible given by false preachers or they just refuse to obey instructions from God and follow their own minds. There are many people who throw on the Christian name tag and think by just going to church they will be granted Heaven , which is false. You know there are people like that in your church and especially in the youth today. You know there are people still having sex outside of marriage, still going to clubs , and they still have a continuous willful potty mouth. Hell will be worse for these people than atheists . They are just Sunday Christians and they don’t care about Christ. Am I saying that a Christian is perfect? No. Can a Christian backslide? no, but there will be growth and maturity in a true believer's life because it is God working in them. They won’t just remain in darkness if they are the Lord’s sheep because God will discipline them and also His sheep hear His voice. Fake Christians quote Laurence J Peter – “Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to the garage makes you a car.” “Don’t let your lips and your lives preach two different messages.” “Your most powerful testimony is how you treat others after the church service is over.” “What a heartbreak it would be to live an “almost” Christian life, then “almost” get into heaven.” Beware, there are many fake Christians 1. Matthew 15:8 These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 2. Isaiah 29:13 And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote. 3. James 1:26 If a person thinks that he is religious but can’t control his tongue, he is fooling himself. That person’s religion is worthless. 4 1 John 2:9 Those who say that they are in the light but hate other believers are still in the dark. 5. Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but they deny him by what they do. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit to do anything good. Fake Christians don’t care about God’s Word Fake Christians sin on purpose saying, “I’ll just repent later” and disobeying God’s teachings. Even though we are all sinners and we still struggle with sin, Christians don’t live a lifestyle of willfully and deliberately Practic sining. 6. 1 John 2:4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 7. 1 John 3:6 Those who live in Christ don’t go on sinning. Those who go on sinning haven’t seen or known Christ. 8. 1 John 3:8-10 The person who practices sin belongs to the evil one because the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason that the Son of God was revealed was to destroy what the Devil had been doing. No one who has been born from God practices sin, because God’s seed abides in him. Indeed, he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born from God. This is how God’s children and the Devil’s children are distinguished. No person who fails to practice righteousness and to love his brother is from God. 9. 3 John 1:11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. 10. Luke 6:46 Why do you call me Lord but don’t do what I tell you? Fake Christians are hypocrites Even though the Bible says we are to lovingly, kindly, and gently go to our brothers and sisters alone to correct them of their sins, how can you do that, but you’re doing the same thing as them just as much or even more than them? People who do things for show such as give to the poor and other acts of kindness to be seen by others are also hypocrites. 15. Matthew 7:3-5 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. 16. Matthew 6:1-2 Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 17. Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. In John 14:15, Jesus put this truth plainly to His disciples like this: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” That may seem like a simple, even simplistic, statement, but if we look at it closely, we realize that it teaches us much about what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the distinguished mark of a real Christian. whom God has given to those who obey Him.” acts 5:32 "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." True Christians love Yeshua and have new desires and affection for Him . 12. John 14:23-24 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Whoever does not love me does not keep my word. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.” 13. 1 John 2:3 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 14. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 1 John 3 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,[a ] we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. 4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. 7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.

The bottom line is among both clergy and laity was indifference toward their acknowledged lack of evaluation" Barrna Fake are false preachers and false prophets just like the cast of Preachers of LA. 21. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds. 22. Jude 1:4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. 23. 2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 24. Romans 16:18 For they that are such serve, not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. Reminders 25. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

Fritz Chery Apr 17, 2024 Bible Verses About 0 comments Bible verses about fake Christians Sadly there are many false believers who will be expecting to go to Heaven and will be denied entrance. The best way to avoid being one is to make sure you have truly put your trust in Christ alone for salvation. When you have repented and put your faith in Christ that will lead to a change of life. Follow God and educate yourself with his Word. Fake Christians will not enter into heaven. False converts will be denied . 18. Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ 19. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 20. Revelation 22:15 Outside are the dogs , those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

The Millennial Kingdom. Mortal humans in the Millennial Kingdom Download Resurrected, glorified Saints. In the Millennial Kingdom Download Yehovah perfect Law Scripture outlines a comprehensive, theocratic legal system that governs the earth during the Millennial Kingdom. The foundational blueprint is that Torah goes forth from Mount Zion under the direct, righteous administration of King Yeshua (Isaiah 2:2–4; Micah 4:1–3). Rather than anarchy or a purely abstract rule, the prophets outline specific international, civil, ceremonial, and dietary statutes that will be kept across the globe. 1. International and Civil Law: Torah from Zion The global legislative and judicial center of the entire earth during the 1,000 years will be Jerusalem: Universal Disarmament and Ban on Warfare: National armies, weapons production, and warfare are legally outlawed across all nations (Isaiah 2:4; Micah 4:3). Weapons are mandated to be beaten into agricultural implements ("swords into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks"). Direct Judicial Verdicts by King Yeshua: International disputes between nations and peoples will no longer be settled through military conflict, treaties, or corrupt tribunals. Yeshua arbitrates and decides controversies between nations with perfect justice, equity, and righteousness (Isaiah 11:3–5). The "Rod of Iron" Enforcement: Open criminal conduct and willful disobedience are met with swift, unyielding divine justice (Psalm 2:9; Revelation 19:15). Prolonged spiritual rebellion among mortals results in immediate physical accountability (Isaiah 65:20: "the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed"). 2. Universal Worship and Sacred Calendar Laws Specific religious statutes apply not only to Israel, but to all Gentile nations across the earth: Mandatory Observance of the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot): Representatives from every surviving Gentile nation on earth must make an annual pilgrimage to Jerusalem to worship King Yehovah of Hosts and celebrate Sukkot (Zechariah 14:16–19). Penalty for Non-Compliance: Any nation that refuses to go up is struck with severe drought (withholding of rainfall) and plagues until they yield. The Seventh-Day Sabbath (Shabbat) and New Moons (Rosh Chodesh): The weekly Sabbath remains a commanded day of worship when the inner court's East Gate is opened and the people gather (Ezekiel 46:1–3). Isaiah 66:23 confirms global observance: "From one New Moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before Me, says Yehovah." Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread: Observed starting on the 14th day of the first month (Nisan) for seven days, with the Prince preparing designated burnt, grain, and sin offerings (Ezekiel 45:21–24). Total Ban on Idolatry and False Religion: Pagan altars, occult practices, false prophets, and idolatry are eradicated globally (Zechariah 13:2; Zechariah 14:9). Yehovah alone is acknowledged as King over all the earth. 3. Priestly, Ceremonial, and Temple Ordinances Ezekiel 40–48 details clear statutes that regulate the Millennial Temple and its ministers: Exclusivity of the Sons of Zadok: Only the priests descending from Zadok are permitted to draw near to Yehovah's altar to minister and offer the fat and the blood (Ezekiel 40:46; 44:15–16). Judicial and Educational Duties of the Priesthood: The priests are legally charged with teaching the people to discern between the holy and the common, and between the clean and the unclean (Ezekiel 44:23). In civil controversies, the priests stand as judges to render decisions based on Yehovah’s judgments (Ezekiel 44:24). Ceremonial Purifications (Kipper): Sacrificial offerings (burnt, peace, sin, and grain) are administered to cleanse physical fixtures (altar, gateposts, sanctuary) from the ceremonial uncleanness of mortal life (Ezekiel 43:18–27; 45:18–20). 4. Dietary and Purity Laws Physical distinctions of purity remain actively enforced among mortals: Clean vs. Unclean Distinctions: Priests explicitly instruct the mortal population on biblical purity and dietary standards (Ezekiel 44:23). Prohibition of Carrion: Priests and worshippers are forbidden from consuming any bird or mammal that dies naturally or is torn by beasts (Ezekiel 44:31). Prohibition of Swine and Abominations: Isaiah 66:17 specifically condemns the eating of swine’s flesh, mice, and unclean creeping things as an abomination before Yehovah. Clean Seafood Harvest: The healed waters of the Dead Sea support net fishing from En Gedi to En Eglaim, producing fish of the same kinds as the Mediterranean Sea (clean fish with fins and scales, Ezekiel 47:9–10). 5. Civil, Economic, and Land Laws Economic righteousness and property protections are enforced under the rule of the Prince: Honest Weights, Measures, and Currency: Standardization of commercial balances is strictly enforced: an honest ephah (dry measure), an honest bath (liquid measure), and an honest shekel without inflation or deceit (Ezekiel 45:10–12). Protection of Private Property: The Prince is expressly prohibited from seizing the people's land or forcing citizens off their family inheritance (Ezekiel 45:8–9; 46:18). Restoration of Tribal Allotments: The boundaries of the twelve tribes of Israel are permanently assigned and protected across the Holy Land (Ezekiel 47:13–48:29). 6. The Internalized Law of the New Covenant For redeemed Israel and the righteous, compliance with Yehovah's law is not mere outward legalism. Under the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31–34; Ezekiel 36:26–27), the Holy Spirit gives mortals a new heart and puts Yehovah's laws into their minds, enabling them to walk willingly in His statutes with gladness and peace. Yehovah Sacrifices The mention of animal offerings in the Millennial Temple (Ezekiel 40–48) centers on the holiness of Yehovah and the finished redemption accomplished by Yeshua the Messiah. Because Scripture emphasizes that Yeshua offered one sacrifice for sins forever (Hebrews 10:10–14), these millennial offerings do not provide spiritual or eternal salvation. Instead, the sacrifices described by Ezekiel serve three distinct, harmonious purposes during the 1,000-year reign: 1. Ceremonial Cleansing & Spatial Purification (Ritual Atonement) In Ezekiel, the Hebrew word translated "atonement" is kipper, which fundamentally means to cover, cleanse, or purge. During the Millennium, mortal human beings (who enter the earthly kingdom, marry, have children, and can die; Isaiah 65:20) will live in proximity to the manifest Shekinah glory of Yehovah dwelling visibly on earth: The Absolute Holiness of Yehovah: Yehovah is holy, and His manifest presence cannot dwell among ceremonial uncleanness or the natural contamination of mortal life. Purification of Physical Structures: In Ezekiel 43:20, 26 and Ezekiel 45:18–20, the blood is applied directly to inanimate objects—the horns of the altar, the four corners of the ledge, the doorposts of the Temple, and the gateposts of the inner court. Its purpose is to "cleanse" and "purge" the sacred space. Flesh vs. Spirit: Animal blood under the Old Covenant never removed eternal guilt; it provided outward, ceremonial purity for the flesh (Hebrews 9:13). In the Millennium, it functions as a ritual barrier, preserving the sanctity of Yehovah’s house so that a holy God can dwell among mortal mankind. 2. A Tangible Memorial of the Cross Just as the ancient offerings looked forward to the sacrifice of Yeshua in prophetic anticipation, Millennial sacrifices look backward in solemn commemoration: A Physical Memorial: In the present age, believers observe the Lord’s Supper with bread and the cup in remembrance of Yeshua's broken body and shed blood (1 Corinthians 11:24–26). In the Millennial reign, visible offerings serve a parallel commemorative purpose before the nations. Instruction for Mortal Generations: Billions of mortals will be born during the 1,000 years in a world where Satan is bound and the righteous rule of Yehovah prevails across the earth. Because these generations will not experience war or rampant evil, the stark, bloody reality of animal sacrifice will serve as an unmistakable visual lesson: It demonstrates the horrific nature and cost of sin before Yehovah. It reinforces that every blessing, life, and peace in the kingdom was purchased entirely by the blood of Yeshua, the Lamb of God. 3. Communal Worship, Fellowship, and Theocratic Tribute A significant portion of the offerings detailed in Ezekiel are peace offerings (shelem) and grain offerings (minchah): Fellowship Meals: Peace offerings were shared and eaten by the worshippers and the priests in joyful communion before Yehovah (Ezekiel 46:21–24). The outer courts of the temple contain dedicated kitchens specifically built for preparing these shared meals. Covenantal Expression : It provides redeemed Israel—restored to their ancestral land under the Davidic covenant—with a concrete way to honor Yehovah through priestly order and grateful praise. Global Pilgrimages: As foretold in Zechariah 14:16–19, the Gentile nations will journey up to Jerusalem year after year to worship King Yehovah of Hosts and celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), presenting their offerings in unified thanksgiving. What They Are vs. What They Are Not What Millennial Sacrifices Are NOT What Millennial Sacrifices ARE Not for the forgiveness of eternal sinsA memorial pointing back to Yeshua's finished redemption Not a replacement or competitor to Calvary A teaching tool for mortal generations born during the Millennium Not salvific (redemption remains entirely by grace through faith)Ceremonial decontamination (kipper) of the temple precinct before Yehovah Not a reinstatement of the Mosaic Covenant A distinct Millennial order administered by the faithful Sons of Zadok Yehovah Feast Days In the Millennial Kingdom, Scripture describes a restructured sacred calendar focused on the direct worship of Yehovah. Several ancient biblical convocations return, while others are deliberately omitted in light of fulfilled redemption. 1. The Major Annual Feasts In Ezekiel 45:21–25 and Zechariah 14:16–19, two annual pilgrimage feasts are explicitly commanded: Passover (Pesach) and the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Chag HaMatzot): Scripture: Ezekiel 45:21–24 Timing: Begins on the 14th day of the first month (Nisan / Abib) and lasts seven days. Observance: Unleavened bread is eaten throughout the week. Daily offerings of seven bulls and seven rams without blemish, a male goat for a sin offering, and accompanying grain and oil offerings are prepared by the Prince (Nasi). Significance: Originally memorializing Israel’s deliverance from Egypt, in the kingdom it endures as an everlasting memorial to Yeshua, the true Passover Lamb whose shed blood accomplished eternal redemption. The Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot / Feast of Booths): Scripture: Ezekiel 45:25; Zechariah 14:16–19 Timing: Begins on the 15th day of the seventh month (Tishrei) and lasts seven days. Observance: Daily offerings corresponding to those of Passover are presented before Yehovah. Global Mandate: Zechariah declares that survivors from all Gentile nations must travel up to Jerusalem annually to worship King Yehovah of Hosts and celebrate Sukkot. Any nation that refuses to go up will receive no rain and will face divine plague until they comply. Significance: It celebrates Yehovah dwelling physically and visibly in the midst of mortal humanity through King Messiah reigning from Mount Zion. 2. Regular Weekly, Monthly, and Seasonal Observances Alongside the annual pilgrimage festivals, Ezekiel details recurring cycles of regular worship: The Weekly Sabbath (Shabbat): Scripture: Ezekiel 46:1–5; Isaiah 66:22–23 The East Gate of the inner court remains shut during the six working days but opens on the Sabbath. The Prince presents a burnt offering of six lambs and a ram without blemish, and the people of the land worship at the entrance of the gateway. Isaiah 66:23 states that from one Sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship before Yehovah. The New Moon Celebrations (Rosh Chodesh): Scripture: Ezekiel 46:1, 6–7; Isaiah 66:23 The East Gate opens to welcome the beginning of each biblical month. Offerings consisting of a young bull, six lambs, and a ram are presented in worship before Yehovah. Sanctuary Consecration Days: Scripture: Ezekiel 45:18–20 On the 1st and 7th days of the first month, a young bull without blemish is offered to cleanse and ritually purify the sanctuary, the doorposts of the Temple, and the court gates. 3. Feasts Notably Absent from Ezekiel Several prominent Mosaic convocations from Leviticus 23 are not mentioned in the Millennial Temple: Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur): Omitted entirely from the annual calendar. Yeshua offered one all-sufficient sacrifice for sins forever (Hebrews 10:10–14). Repeating Yom Kippur for the eternal removal of guilt would run contrary to His finished work on Calvary. The Millennial purifications deal strictly with physical sanctuary holiness (kipper), not spiritual justification. Feast of Weeks / Pentecost (Shavuot): Not mentioned in Ezekiel's prophetic calendar. Historically connected to the wheat harvest and the initial outpouring of the Holy Spirit to birth the Church Age (Acts 2), that harvest is now complete. Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah): Not mentioned. The prophetic call of the trumpet signaling the regathering of Israel and the arrival of King Messiah has already taken place prior to the start of the 1,000-year reign. Summary of the Kingdom Calendar Cycle Weekly: The Seventh-Day Sabbath (Shabbat) Monthly: The New Moon (Rosh Chodesh) First Month (Nisan) : Days 1 and 7 (Sanctuary Purifications); Days 14 through 21 (Passover and Unleavened Bread) Seventh Month (Tishrei): Days 15 through 21 (Feast of Tabernacles / Sukkot, mandatory for all nations) In the Millennial Kingdom, Scripture distinction between the mortal resurrected, glorified saints. The saints enter the 1,000-year reign having already undergone the "First Resurrection" (Revelation 20:4–6) or translation (1 Corinthians 15:51–53; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17). They do not live as ordinary mortals; instead, they serve as the administrative, judicial, and priestly leadership of the global kingdom under King Yeshua and Yehovah. 1. Ruling, Judging, and Reigning with Christ The primary role assigned to glorified saints in the Millennium is co-regency—governing the nations alongside Yeshua: Enthroned with Judicial Authority: Revelation 20:4 states that thrones are set, judgment is committed to the saints, and they live and reign with Christ for a thousand years. The Promise to the Overcomers: In Revelation 2:26–27, Yeshua promises that whoever overcomes will receive authority over the nations to rule them with a rod of iron, sharing in the authority given to Him by His Father. Daniel's Prophetic Vision : Daniel 7:27 declares that the kingdom, dominion, and greatness under the whole heaven will be given to the saints of the Most High, whose dominion is an everlasting kingdom. Judging the World and Angels: In 1 Corinthians 6:2–3, the Apostle Paul points directly to this governing role, asking believers if they do not know that the saints will judge the world and even judge angels. 2. Concrete Administrative Appointments Scripture does not present reigning as symbolic or passive; it involves specific geographic and civic administration over mortal cities and regions: The Apostles Over the Twelve Tribes: Yeshua specifically promised His twelve disciples direct judicial authority over the restored tribes of Israel in Matthew 19:28 and Luke 22:29–30, stating they will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes. Authority Over Cities (The Parable of the Minas) : In Luke 19:17–19, faithful stewardship in this age translates to real civic responsibility in the Kingdom, with servants appointed over five or ten cities. 3. A Royal Priesthood The saints do not merely execute civil justice; they function as a royal priesthood bridging the presence of God and the mortal world: Priests to God and Christ: Revelation 20:6 states that those who take part in the first resurrection are holy and blessed, serving as priests of God and of Christ, reigning with Him for a thousand years. Kings and Priests on the Earth: Revelation 5:10 confirms that the redeemed are made kings and priests to God to reign on the earth. Resurrected saints assist in teaching Yehovah’s ways , discipling mortal nations, and guiding mortals into true worship as the law goes forth from Zion (Isaiah 2:2–4). 4. Physical Nature and Spiritual Condition The saints’ physical existence in the Millennium is fundamentally different from that of mortal humans: Glorified, Immortal Bodies: The saints have put on incorruption and immortality (1 Corinthians 15:42–54), patterned after Yeshua’s resurrected body (Philippians 3:20–21; 1 John 3:2). They are tangible and capable of speaking, eating, and interacting, yet completely free from sickness, fatigue, pain, or death. Neither Marrying Nor Dying: In Luke 20:34–36, Yeshua explains that while mortals in that age marry and have families, those counted worthy of the resurrection neither marry nor are given in marriage, nor can they die anymore, being equal to the angels and sons of the resurrection. Total Immunity from the Second Death: Revelation 20:6 specifies that over the glorified saints, the second death has no power. When Satan is loosed at the end of the 1,000 years to deceive the mortal nations (Revelation 20:7–9), the glorified saints remain entirely beyond temptation, deception, or danger. Contrast: Resurrected Saints vs. Mortal Inhabitants Body and Nature: Resurrected saints possess immortal, incorruptible, glorified bodies (1 Corinthians 15:52). Mortal inhabitants live in natural flesh-and-blood bodies (Isaiah 65:20). Lifespan: Resurrected saints live eternally and can never die (Luke 20:36; Revelation 20:6). Mortal inhabitants have vastly extended lifespans lasting centuries, but remain subject to physical death (Isaiah 65:20). Family Life: Resurrected saints do not marry or reproduce (Luke 20:35). Mortal inhabitants marry, bear children, and raise families (Isaiah 65:23). Kingdom Calling : Resurrected saints serve as kings, priests, and judges executing divine rule with Christ (Revelation 20:4–6). Mortal inhabitants live as citizens, farmers, builders, and worshippers under that rule. Final Rebellion: Resurrected saints are completely secure and immune to deception. Mortal offspring born during the Millennium still possess free will, and a portion will be deceived when Satan is released at the close of the 1,000 years (Revelation 20:7–8). What does Scripture say about daily life, lifespan, and family for mortal humans in the Millennial Kingdom? While resurrected and glorified saints possess immortal bodies (neither marrying nor dying, Luke 20:35–36), Scripture teaches that mortal survivors of the nations enter the Millennial Kingdom in natural, earthly bodies (Matthew 25:31–40; Zechariah 14:16). The Old Testament prophets—especially Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Zechariah—provide vivid details about what daily existence, lifespan, labor, and family look like for these mortal populations during the 1,000-year reign of Yeshua. 1. Lifespan and Physical Health During the Millennium, the curse on creation is substantially rolled back, returning human life expectancy to conditions resembling the pre-Flood era of the patriarchs. Reversal of Infant Mortality: "No more shall an infant from there live but a few days, nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days..." — Isaiah 65:20a Infant death, miscarriages, and early childhood loss will no longer be part of normal life. Every child born will have the opportunity to grow to full maturity. Centenarians Considered "Youth": "...For the child shall die one hundred years old, but the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed." — Isaiah 65:20b A person passing away at 100 years of age would be regarded as someone dying in their youth. Dying at that age is described as an anomaly tied to divine judgment on willful defiance under the King's righteous rule. Lifespans Like Trees: "For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people, and My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands." — Isaiah 65:22b Like deep-rooted, long-living trees (such as oaks or olive trees that live for centuries), mortals will routinely live for hundreds of years throughout the Millennium. Healing and Vitality: "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing." — Isaiah 35:5–6 Widespread disease, birth defects, and chronic disabilities will be removed as the supernatural blessing of Yehovah rests upon the earth. 2. Family Life, Marriage, and Children Unlike resurrected saints, mortal humans will continue to marry, form households, and raise families: Fruitful Generations: "They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth children for trouble; for they shall be the descendants of the blessed of Yehovah, and their offspring with them." — Isaiah 65:23 Parents will raise children without the constant fear of famine, war, kidnapping, or sudden calamity cutting their lives short. Peaceful Communities and Play: "Old men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each one with his staff in his hand because of great age. The streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets." — Zechariah 8:4–5 Scripture paints a picture of tranquil domestic safety—multi-generational families where great-grandparents sit in town squares while children play openly without fear of predators, crime, or violence. 3. Daily Work, Agriculture, and Economics The curse of frustrated, fruitless labor found in Genesis 3 is lifted. Labor remains, but it becomes deeply rewarding, stable, and productive: Secured Ownership and Enjoyment of Labor: "They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat..." — Isaiah 65:21–22a Throughout human history, war, invasion, unfair taxation, and predatory landlords frequently stripped working people of what they built. In the Kingdom, mortals permanently enjoy the physical fruit of their own hands. Abundant Agricultural Yields: "‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says Yehovah, ‘When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; the mountains shall drip with sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it.’" — Amos 9:13 Crops will produce so abundantly that the harvest season will run directly into the next planting cycle. Domestic Peace and Quiet: "Everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid; for the mouth of Yehovah of hosts has spoken." — Micah 4:4 The ancient idiom of sitting under one's own vine and fig tree describes self-sufficient private property, safety, and an absence of state tyranny or economic oppression. 4. Harmony in the Natural World Mortal humans will work and live in an environment where nature is no longer hostile: Tamed Animal Kingdom: "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them... The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den." — Isaiah 11:6–8 Carnivorous hostility ceases, venomous creatures pose no danger, and dangerous beasts become docile companions even around toddlers. Deserts and arid wastelands will blossom with cedar, acacia, myrtle, and olive trees, with fresh springs gushing in barren wildernesses (Isaiah 35:1–2, 7; Isaiah 41:18–19). Summary of Mortal Life in the Millennium Lifespan: Vastly extended to hundreds of years; child mortality eradicated; death at 100 considered premature or disciplinary. Family: Marriage and childbirth continue; generations grow up together in secure, stable homes free from war and terror. Daily Labor: Meaningful building and farming; complete protection of personal property and full enjoyment of one's harvest. Environment: Total ecological harmony, abundant rainfall, fertile land, and an animal kingdom stripped of predation and venom. Government: Direct equity and peace flowing from Mount Zion, where disputes are settled fairly without courts of corruption or military conflict.

No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man. Betraying God Christianity, the most lawless religion on earth The church lied to us 13 Hadd tela’ fis ġenna ħlief dak li imnissel minn ġenna— il Iben tal-Bniedem. 10 commandments 613 commandments Hemm 1050 kmandament fit-testmant il-ġdid Churches Who Teach Us to Keep Sunday Admit It’s NOT the Sabbath of the Bible Kristu fdienamis-saħta tal-liġi billi ssir saħta għalina—għax hemm miktub, “Misħut kull min hu mdendel mas-siġra”— "So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice." . 16He saw that there was no man; He was amazed that there was no one to intercede. So His own arm brought salvation, and His own righteousness sustained Him.… Meaning: This passage describes a society where truth and honesty are so absent that they are practically non-existent, to the point where someone who tries to live righteously is vulnerable and becomes a target. It portrays a severe moral decline where justice is not pursued and evil is widely accepted. Christianity, the most lawless religion on earth You can be sure the False Prophet and the Man of Lawlessness will certainly come from the only religion that has promoted and pushed Lawlessness (not obeying God’s Laws) since the beginning. Keeping in mind that Christianity, the most lawless religion on earth since it actually forbids observing God’s Law, is over 30% of the world, so we got our first indication of what kind of percentage we might be looking at taking the mark. If you do the things God hates and refuse to keep His commandments and encourage others to do the same, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” NOT THE MARK OF GOD “YEHOVAH” Teaching against obedience to God’s commandments is a betrayal of His Word because it directly undermines His authority in four ways: It Erases the Definition of Sin: Scripture explicitly defines sin as "the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). If you throw out the Law, you destroy the only boundary that defines right from wrong. It Defies Yeshua’s Direct Warning: The Messiah specifically warned that anyone who breaks the commandments and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom (Matthew 5:19).If "least" literally meant a low-ranking person inside the Kingdom, Yeshua would be saying that a carnal, commandment-breaking believer is somehow spiritually superior to John the Baptist. That makes no sense. But if "least" means the person who hasn't even entered yet (the mortal believer still waiting on the outside), the phrase makes perfect sense. It Replaces Divine Truth with Human Tradition: Bypassing God's Feasts, dietary laws, and Sabbath always leads to a common substitution—making the Word of God "of none effect" through human traditions (Mark 7:13). It Separates Faith from True Loyalty: Scripture states, "This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments" (1 John 5:3). Teaching against obedience strips believers of the concrete actions required to show true covenant loyalty. The Bottom Line: Telling people they are free to ignore the Father's instructions mimics the very first deception in the Garden: "Yea, hath God said...?" It doesn't just misinterpret Scripture; it actively trains people to live in comfortable transgression. Yeshua the Messiah Modern Christianity He kept the Leviticus food laws. Eat unclean He kept the seventh day Sabbath Holy Observe Sunday Yeshua is the LORD of the Sabbath. Only for the Jews He kept all of God’s feast days. Observe Christmas, Easter He kept all God’s commandments and statutes. Done away with He was totally submersed during baptism. Without repentance Gospel message coming to Kingdom Death burial and resurrection Sin is the transgression of the law Ten suggestions He wore tassels on the hems of his clothing. These statistics, highlighted in Barna research, indicate a shift toward moral relativism and syncretism among American Christians, prioritizing subjective experience over traditional doctrine. Key findings show that 72% argue that people are basically good. 71% consider feelings, experience, or the input of friends and family as their most trusted sources of moral guidance. 66% say that having faith matters more than which faith you pursue. 64% say that all religious faiths are of equal value. 58% believe that if a person is good enough, or does enough good things, they can earn their way into Heaven. 58% contend that the Holy Spirit is not a real, living being but is merely a symbol of God’s power, presence, or purity. 57% believe in karma. 52% claim that determining moral truth is up to each individual; there are no moral absolutes that apply to everyone, all the time Self-identified Christians are also likely to reject a number of biblical teachings and principles. For example, slightly less than half. (46%) believe that the marriage of one man to one woman is God’s plan for humanity, across all cultures; j ust 40% believe that when they die they will go to Heaven, but only because they have confessed their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as their savior; only one-third. 34% believes that people are born into sin and can only be saved of the consequences by Jesus Christ; just one-third. 32% believes premarital sex is morally unacceptable; and about one out of every four. 28% believes that the best indicator of a successful life is consistent obedience to God. Teachings that are not found in your bible and are taught as truth. One compromise here, another there, and soon the so-called Christian and man in the world look alike a.w Tozer When Christians die, they go to heaven. They are in a better place. The Old Testament is for the Jews and the New Testament is for everyone else. No one can keep the commandments. You can live like the devil and still go to Heaven. God’s holy Sabbath's day of rest is done away with. The Sabbath was changed to Sunday because the Apostles met on the first day of the week. The Leviticus food laws, that God said don't eat or touch unclean meat, are only for the Jews. There is a secret rapture for Christians only, excluding them from the tribulation. The law of God was nailed to the cross. Carnal Christians are not under the law, but they are under Grace. Yeshua did it so we don't have to. Once saved always saved. Just ask Yeshua into your heart for salvation. The only requirement for Believing is acknowledging God’s existence. Baptism is just a symbolic meaning and is not required for salvation. The Gospel is the death burial and resurrection. Following God's instructions is legalistic. You are a Jew if you keep the food laws, the Sabbath, God's feast days, and all God's commandments like Yeshua did. It just matters what you feel in your heart, even if it is pagan. Yeshua's birth happened on December 25, and there were shepherds and sheep in the fields and Mary and Joseph were required to travel in the winter. The church can Christianize pagan holidays, like Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. Paul's misunderstood letters nullify God’s word and His instructions. A time will come when people will not listen to accurate teachings. Instead, they will follow their own desires and surround themselves with teachers who tell them what they want to hear. 2 Timothy 4:3 There are consequences— eternal consequences—to our actions. What we do is evidence of what we believe. Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. 8 Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest eternal life from the Spirit. Galatians 6: Why would any Christian not believe or want to keep the 10 Commandments? or say I dont have to keep the commandments? Warning, look at what the verse doesn't say when you read them (The 10 commandments) Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law #1 Romans 10 and verse 4 say Christ is the end of the law for righteousness. Does this verse really mean that Christians have no moral obligation to the law of God? (Romans 7:12 God's Law is Holy So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.) Numbers 23:19 God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Hebrews 13:8 James 1:17 Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law #2 Colossians 2 in verse 14 says, Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. Were the 10 commandments really against us? Were the 10 commandments really contrary to us? Did Jesus really nail the 10 commandments to His cross? (Psalms 40:8 KJV) I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.) (Romans 8:7 KJV) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. (Mark 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law Of God #3 In Ephesians 2:14-15 the Bible says, For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace. Was the middle wall of partition the 10 commandments? Did Jesus abolish the 10 commandments? (Hebrews 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; (Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. (Colossians 2:21 KJV) (Touch not; taste not; handle not; (Colossians 2:22 KJV) All are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? The Jews created a partition between the Jews and Gentiles causing issues in the temple. Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law Of God #4 The book of Galatians says the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith comes, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Exactly what law was a schoolmaster to bring us to faith in Christ? Was it the 10 commandments like so many Christians suppose? The Schoolmaster was the aminal sacrifice that showed all sin requires a blood sacrifice and led to the cross Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law Of God #5 Jesus said in Matthew 5:17, “Think not that I come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” The thing Jesus said don’t think is the very thing that many Christians are thinking and that is that Jesus abolished the law. Just what did Jesus mean when He said, I came to fulfill the law? Does this mean there is no moral obligation to the 10 commandments? Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law #6 The law has been abolished and nailed to the cross. What do you do when your church is teaching heresy? Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law #7 We’re not under the Old Covenant we’re under the New Covenant. Does the New Covenant dismiss our need to obey the laws of God? Anchor 1 Who decides what is right and wrong? What is the difference between clean and unclean? What does Santa Claus and the Easter bunny have to do with the truth? What day was commanded for everyone to rest? What does God call people who practice sinning? What name is left out of the new covenant ? What are the only two names in the new covenant ? Why did Christ say He only came for the lost tribes of Israel?

The Man of Lawlessness 2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. The Coming of the Lord 13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord,d that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.1 Corinthians 15:52 At the last Trumpets the Seventh trumpet. on the east of Trumpets Matthew 24:1–51 Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple 24 Jesus left the temple and was going away when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 2 But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” Signs of the End of the Age 3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, a “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you d are not be alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then many will fall away1 and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom 15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And b alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short. 23 then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather. The Coming of the Son of Man 29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then t all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And we will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. The Man of Lawlessness 2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily u nsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed , the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

THE FINAL JUDGMENT "He that rejects Me and doesn't receive my words has one that judges him: the WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, the same shall judge him in the last day." ETERNAL JUDGMENT The truth about hell False prophet Kristu qal "Hemm aktar nies sejrin l-Infern imbagħad il-Ġenna" 1 John 3:4 in Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. All who indulge in a sinful life are dangerously lawless, for sin is a major disruption of God's order. The word eternal means constant or forever. The Bible refers to the final judgment that God will declare on individuals. This judgment will determine our state for eternity. It's important to realize that all judgment comes through Jesus, the Son of God. This diagnostic test brings the entire scriptural warning to its absolute climax: the Great White Throne Judgment. It forces the reader to stand before the opened books of record and the standard of the Spoken Word, confronting whether their lifestyle is being actively washed clean by the blood of the Lamb through a return to the Torah, or if they are coasting toward eternal destruction. 📋 The "Great White Throne & The Opened Books" Test Instructions: Answer these 4 final questions with absolute sobriety, evaluating your life against the infallible, courtroom evidence of the heavenly court. Question 1: The Standard of the Courtroom In John 12:48, the Judge declares the exact law book of the court: "He that rejects Me and doesn't receive my words has one that judges him: the WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN , the same shall judge him in the last day." When you stand before the throne, what standard will determine your destiny? A) The Spoken Word. You recognize that the unchanging Word of God—the Torah, the statutes, and the life-giving commands practiced by Yeshua—is the final law of the land. You are actively aligning your life, your diet, and your Sabbath with that standard today. B) Human Tradition . You believe that your modern church culture, personal opinions, or the consensus of the crowd will be accepted as a valid defense, assuming the Judge will overlook your disregard for His spoken commands. Question 2: The Evidence in the Books Revelation 20:12 states that the dead will be judged "according to their works, by the things that were written in the books." Knowing that 1 John 3:4 defines sin explicitly as the practice of lawlessness (anomia), what does the daily record of your actions look like right now? A) Cleaned and Transformed. The books record a life that stopped practicing lawlessness. Your past sins have been washed clean by the Blood of the Lamb, and your current record shows a dedicated pursuit of righteousness and obedience. B) Continuous Lawlessness . The books are actively recording a lifestyle that mimics the world. You routinely cross His boundaries, ignore His calendar, and live without regard for His laws, falsely hoping the record won't matter on that day. Question 3: The Severity of Willful Defiance The scripture asks a terrifying question in 1 Peter 4:17–18: If judgment begins at the house of God, "what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? " If the Father did not spare His own Son when He took on our sin, how do you view your personal accountability? A) Fearful Reverence. You realize that Yehovah is righteously incapable of overlooking unrepented sin. You treat His commands with the highest regard, knowing that the willful and rebellious will face retribution and total exclusion from the Kingdom. B) Presumptuous Security . You assume that because you made a verbal confession, you have a pass to remain willful and sloppy in your lifestyle, believing a loving God would never actually execute His written wrath on you. Question 4: The Sifting of the Book of Life At the final accounting, Daniel 7:10 and Revelation 20:12 show that the heavenly court will sit, and a meticulous search will be made through the Book of Life for the names of those standing there. What is the evidence today that a name is securely written in that book? A) You Listen and Respond . As John 8:47 states, because you belong to Yehovah, you actively listen to and physically obey His words. Your faith is visible, tangible, and set apart from the world. B) You Look and Walk Away. You talk about God, but your feet walk the broad highway to destruction (Matthew 7:13). Your life lacks the physical fruit of the New Covenant, proving that you are only fooling yourself. The Final Verdict: Look at where your checked boxes land. There is no appeal process at the Great White Throne, and there are no hidden motives that the light of His face will not expose. If your choices land squarely on B, the mirror delivers the ultimate, uncompromised truth: How you live your life is the only real evidence of what you believe internally. A major disruption of God's order cannot enter His future Kingdom. If you refuse to judge yourself by the Word today, you will be broken by that same Word on the last day. The books are being written every single hour you have breath. Turn away from the broad road of lawlessness, drop the traditions of men, and submit your walk completely to the King while the door of repentance is still open.

Il-ġudizzju etern jistenna kull ruħ umana. Yeshua Messija tagħna se jerġa 'lura, il-mejtin se jiġu mqajma, u se jiġu ġġudikati minnu u jirċievu d-destin etern tagħhom. Dan se jkun ġudizzju viżibbli pubbliku u universali. Ir-rebħa tal-Ħaruf fuq id-dnub, il-mewt, u Satana se tiġi manifestata u eżegwita bis-sħiħ.

Il-mewt eterna hija l-konsegwenza tad-dnub fuq il-bniedem mhux riġenerat. Jekk Jehovah ma ħelisx ir-rabja Tiegħu fuq Ibnu stess Li Hu għamel bħala dnub għalina (sabiex jeħlisna), x’se jkun l-istat ta’ min irid, ta’ bla liġi, u ta’ ribelluż? 1 Pietru 4:17-18; Ġwanni 3:36 Għal kull persuna li titlaq minn din il-ħajja, se jkun hemm stennija ta’ qawmien kif ukoll stennija ta’ ġudizzju. "Huwa maħtur għall-bnedmin li jmutu darba, imma wara dan il-ġudizzju" Lhud 9:27 "Aħna lkoll se noqogħdu quddiem is-siġġu tal-ġudizzju (tron) tal-Messija. Għax hemm miktub: Kif ħaj jien, jgħid Ġeħova, kull irkoppa titbaxxa lejja, u kull ilsien jistqarr lil Alla. Allura, allura kull wieħed minna għandu jagħti rakkont tiegħu nnifsu lil Alla” Rumani 14:10-12; Isaija 45:23 "U rajt Tron Abjad Kbir, u Dak li poġġa fuqu, li minn wiċċu ħarbu l-art u s-sema, u ma nstabx post għalihom. "U rajt lill-mejtin, żgħar u kbar, bil-wieqfa quddiem Alla. ; u l-kotba nfetħu, u nfetaħ ktieb ieħor, li hu l-ktieb tal-ħajja, u l-mejtin ġew iġġudikati skond l-għemejjel tagħhom, skond dak li kien miktub fil-kotba” Apokalissi 20:11,12. Il-"kotba" jinfetħu. Dawn huma r-rekords ta’ dak kollu li kull persuna ħasbet, qalet u għamlet fuq l-art li ma nħarġetx u maħsula mid-Demm tal-Ħaruf. Jinfetaħ ukoll il-“Ktieb tal-Ħajja” li jippermettilna nifhmu li permezz tiegħu se ssir tfittxija għal rekord tal-ismijiet ta’ dawk li jkunu qegħdin quddiem it-tron f’din l-okkażjoni. IL- KOTBA MIftuħa Qorti tal- liġi tal- art tipproċedi fuq evidenza. L-Iskrittura tgħidilna li l-qorti tas-sema se tkun stabbilita biex il-proċedimenti jibdew, u l-evidenza kollha tinġieb. Il-qorti tas-sema tkun bilqiegħda, u l-kotba jinfetħu. Danjel 7:10 1. L-ISCRITTURA “Il-kelma li għedtt tiġġudikah fl-aħħar jum” Ġwanni 12:48 Hu l-Kelma ta’ dejjem Li tkellem lil Mosè u tana l-Liġi. Aħna se jinżammu responsabbli li obdejna l-Kelma rivelata Tiegħu. Lhud 2: 1-4 2 IL-KTIEB TAL-ĦAJJA L-entrati fil-Ktieb tal-Ħajja se jkunu fattur determinanti ewlieni tad-destini eterni. Luqa 10:20; Phil. 4:3; Danjel 12:1 Madankollu, Ġeħova qal lil Mosè li kull min kellu midneb kontrih fl-idolatrija kellu ismu mħassar. Ara Eżodu 32:33 & Dewteronomju 9:14 . Anki l-ħażin - Salm 69:28 (Milied, Għid) Reġgħet enfasizza wkoll, li kull min idur u jimxi wara l-allat tad-dinja, ismu jitħassar mill-Ktieb tal-Ħajja. Dewteronomju 29:14, 18-20 Dawk taʼ Sardi li għelbu l- xewqat tal- laħam kienu garantiti li isimhom mhux se jitħassar. Apokalissi 3:5 IL-KTIEB TAT-TIFIKAR “Imbagħad dawk li kienu jibżgħu minn Ġeħova jitkellmu spiss bejniethom u Ġeħova semagħhom u semagħhom; Għalhekk inkiteb quddiemu Ktieb tat-Tifkira għal dawk li jibżgħu minn Ġeħova u li jimmeditaw fuq ismu.” u l-wegħda - "U jkunu Tiegħi, jgħid Ġeħova taʼ l- Eżerċti Dakinhar li nagħmel minnhom il- ġawhar Tiegħi.” ( Malakija 3:16 ) Innota Apokalissi 21:19, 20 - il-gemstones ta 'Ġerusalemm Ġdida KTIEB TAT-TALB/INTERĊESSJONI It-talb tal-ġusti jiġi rreġistrat mill-ministeru tal-anġli. "Daħħal id-dmugħ tiegħi fil-flixkun tiegħek; m'humiex fil-ktieb Tiegħek? Meta ngħajjat lilek, allura l-għedewwa tiegħi jduru lura." Salm 56: 8, 9 "Wiċċi mħawra bil-biki .... ..... u t-talb tiegħi huwa safi. Żgur li anke issa x-xhieda tiegħi [record KJ] hija fis-sema, u l-evidenza tiegħi fil-għoli" Ġob 16:16-19 'KTIEB' TA' STEWARDSHIP Il-kontabbiltà hija magħmula mill-fedeltà ta' kull wieħed fl-amministrazzjoni fuq l-affarijiet fdati f'idejhom. Yeshua ta tixbiha ta’ nobbli li sejjer u li jafda lill-qaddejja tiegħu biex ikomplu n-negozju tiegħu, bl-istruzzjoni biex “jokkupa sa ma niġi” (Luqa 19:12-27) Hu ta tixbiha oħra fejn ġie msejjaħ amministratur biex “Agħti kont. tat-tmexxija tiegħek” Luqa 16:2-13 REKORDS TAL-KLIEM U KUNSILI TAL-QALB Il-qalb tal-bniedem tkun iġġudikata bl-affarijiet li qal, “għax mill-abbundanza tal-qalb jitkellem il-fomm” (Mattew 12:34, 36-37) Ikun meħtieġ kont għal kull kelma bla qligħ u bla valur. “Għax m’hemm xejn mgħotti li ma jiġix żvelat, u lanqas moħbi li ma jkunx magħruf” Luqa 12: 2 Hu jġib għad-dawl il-pariri kollha moħbija u sigrieti tal-qalb u kull xogħol sigriet. 1 Korintin 4:5; Rumani 2:16; Luqa 8:17; Mattew 6: 4-6, 17-18 REKORDS TA’ L-GĦEMI KOLLHA Dak kollu sa tazza ilma li nagħtu lil wieħed minn Tiegħu, (Mattew 10:41-42) u atti ta’ qalb saru lil tifel f’Ismu (Mattew 18:5) huma rreġistrati. Ikkunsidra, anki x-xagħar ta’ rasna huwa magħdud u ma taqax għasafar waħda fl-art, imma Hu jaf. Salm 139:16 Missierna għandu sistema taʼ kontabbiltà eċċellenti. IS-SENTENZA SKOND XOGĦLIJIET “il-Missier, li mingħajr parzjalità tiġġudika skond ix-xogħol ta’ kull wieħed, iġibu ruħkom tul iż-żmien li toqgħodu hawn bil-biża’; " 1 Pietru 1:17; 4: 1-5, 17-18 "Ibżgħu minn Alla u żommu l-kmandamenti Tiegħu, għax dan huwa d-dmir kollu tal-bniedem Għax Alla jġib kull xogħol fil-ġudizzju, inkluż kull ħaġa sigrieta, sew jekk tajba jew ħażina." Ekkleżjasti 12:14 "Għax ilkoll irridu nidhru quddiem is-sede tal-ġudizzju (tron) tal-Messija, biex kull wieħed jirċievi l-affarijiet li saru fil-ġisem, skond dak li għamel, sew jekk tajjeb jew ħażin." 2 Korintin 5:10 “Ħajja ta’ dejjem għal dawk li bil-paċenzja li jagħmlu l-ġid ifittxu l-glorja, l-unur u l-immortalità; imma għal dawk li jfittxu lilhom infushom u ma jobdux il-verità, imma jobdu l-inġustizzja – rabja u rabja, tribulazzjoni u dieqa, fuq kull ruħ ta’ bniedem li jagħmel il-ħażen, il-Lhudi l-ewwel u wkoll tal-Grieg. Għax m’hemmx parzjalità ma’ Alla." Rumani 2:7-9, 11 (Nota. Lhudi u Griegi (nazzjonijiet) ikopru lil dawk kollha li jemmnu - ara versi 1-6 tal-istess kapitlu) GĦAL DIN IR-RAĠUNI - l-appostli tal-Messija qalu, "Lilu aħna nippritkaw, inwissu lil kull bniedem u ngħallmu lil kull bniedem bl-għerf kollu, biex inkunu nistgħu nippreżentaw lil kull bniedem perfett f'Yeshua l-Messija" Kolossin 1:28 " biex nippreżentawkom qaddis u bla ħtija. u bla tmaqdir quddiemu" Kolossin 1:22 "Biex tkunu sinċieri u bla offiża sa jum il-Messija, mimlija bil-frott tal-ġustizzja" Filippin 1:10-11 "Min jikkonfermak sal-aħħar, biex tkun bla ħtija f'jum il-Mulej tagħna, Yeshua l-Messija." 1 Korintin 1:8 Yeshua qal, "U dak il-qaddej li kien jaf ir-rieda ta' sidu u ma ppreparax lilu nnifsu jew għamel skond ir-rieda tiegħu, għandu jiġi msawwat b'ħafna strixxijiet. . Għax kull min jingħatalu ħafna, minnu jintalab ħafna, u lilu ħafna aktar jistaqsu minnu." Luqa 12:47-48 Il-kejl tar-responsabbiltà se jkun skont il-kejl tal-għarfien tar-rieda ta Missierna, kif ukoll il-kejl tal-piena dixxiplinarja. Tindika li Yeshua qed jitkellem hawn dwar kastig korrettiv għal dawk li jirċievu 'ftit strixxi'. Madankollu, Yeshua jgħid li għal dawk li jmorru f’għajxien mhux ġust li Hu “jqatta’ fi tnejn u jaħtarlu l-parti tiegħu ma’ dawk li ma jemmnux” Luqa 12:45-4. F'Mattew 24:51 Yeshua huwa kkwotat li japplikaha għall-ipokriti, u li jinqatgħu fi tnejn hija kastig xieraq għal min għex ħajja doppja. “Ikun hemm il-biki u l-biki u t-tgaqqis tas-snien” – rimors kbir huwa r-reazzjoni riżultanti ta’ dak li jiġi kkastigat b’dan il-mod Dak li hu evidenti hu li dawk kollha li ma jgħixux il-ħajja, jitilfu l-wirt tagħhom fis-saltna ta’ Alla. flimkien mal-ipokriti u jġarrbu l-istess ġudizzju bħal dawk li ma jemmnux. Ma’ dan, il-bqija tal-iskrittura taqbel. “Imma ż-żína u kull nuqqas ta’ ndafa ta’ cobeousness lanqas biss tissemma fostkom, kif jixraq għall-qaddisin; la ħmieġ, la taħdit bl-iblah, u lanqas ċajt goff, li m’humiex xierqa, imma pjuttost irringrazzjament. li l-ebda żína, u lanqas bniedem mhux nadif, u lanqas raġel li hu idolatru, ma għandu xi wirt fis-saltna tal-Messija u Alla. Ħa ħadd ma jqarraq bikom bi kliem vojt, għax minħabba dawn il-korla ta’ Alla tiġi fuq ulied. ta’ diżubbidjenza. Għalhekk, tiħux sehem magħhom.” Efesin 5: 3- 7 “Issa huma evidenti l-għemejjel tal-laħam, li huma adulterju, żína (relazzjoni sesswali barra miż-żwieġ), nuqqas ta’ ndafa (impurità morali), disgrazzja (lustfulness, wantonness, lasciviousness), idolatrija (qima ta’ affarijiet jew nies (il-Milied u l-Għid)) - identitajiet u ideoloġiji), sħaħ (l-involviment kollu fi prattiċi okkulti, psikiċi jew tas-sħaħ), mibegħda, kontenzjonijiet, jealousies, faqqigħ ta’ rabja, ambizzjonijiet egoistiċi, diskrepanzi (diviżjonijiet), ereżiji (duttrina kuntrarja għall-prinċipji fundamentali), għira (tixgħir) , il-qtil, is-sokor, il-ġemgħa u affarijiet simili; li dwarhom ngħidilkom minn qabel, bħalma għedtilkom fl-imgħoddi, li dawk li jipprattikaw affarijiet bħal dawn ma jirtux is-saltna ta’ Alla.” Galatin 5:19-21 "Ma tafx li l-inġusti mhux se jirtu s-saltna t'Alla? Tqarraqx. (Lit. 'mexxa żbaljat') La żína, la idolatri, la adulteri, la omosesswali (abusers sesswali), la sodomites, u lanqas ħallelin , la l-għerqa, la s-sakra, la min jgħajjat, la l-estorsioners ma jirtu s-saltna ta’ Alla.” 1 Korintin 6: 9-10 "Għax huwa impossibbli għal dawk li darba kienu mdawla, u daqu l-għotja tas-sema (salvazzjoni), u saru parteċipanti tal-Roach HaKodesh (Ispirtu s-Santu) u daqu l-Kelma tajba ta 'Jehovah u s-setgħat tad-dinja li ġejja. , jekk jaqgħu, biex jerġgħu jġedduhom għall-indiema, peress li jerġgħu jsallbu għalihom infushom lil Bin il-Mulej (il-Messija), u jpoġġuh għall-mistħija miftuħa." Lhud 6: 4-6 It-twissijiet qegħdin hemm biex iwissuna u biex iħarsuna milli niġu megħluba mill-qerq tal-għadu. "Imma għeżież, aħna fiduċjużi f'affarijiet aħjar dwarkom, iva li jikkonċernaw is-salvazzjoni, għalkemm nitkellmu b'dan il-mod." Lhud 6:9 Il-ġudizzju fuq id-dnub kollu huwa ċert, "Imma ejjew li aħna tal-ġurnata nkunu sobri, nilbsu l-pezzatura tal-fidi u l-imħabba, u bħala elmu t-tama tas-salvazzjoni. Għax Alla ma ħatarnax għall-korla, imma biex niksbu s-salvazzjoni. permezz ta’ Sidna Yeshua l-Messija”. 1 Tessalonikin 5: 8, 9 “Għalhekk ingħataw lilna wegħdiet kbar u prezzjużi ikbar, sabiex permezz ta’ dawn intom tkunu parteċipanti fin-natura divina, wara li tkunu ħarbu mit-taħsir li hemm fid-dinja minħabba x-xewqa.” 2 Pietru 1:4 "Kun diliġenti li ssibu fih fis-sliem, bla tebgħa u bla ħtija." 2 Pietru 3:14
