The
world has
never been completely without war. However, in approximately two years
those who remain alive will see a world without war. Yahweh's 613 Laws
are His strength which will turn mankind from the way of the Gods to
total righteousness.
The
End Chapter
Four
Yahweh
Has A Plan To Bring Peace To The Whole World
Our Job
The House of Yahweh was established in these Last Days to take the message of the Kingdom of Yahweh to all nations. Yahweh, through His House, is doing this great Work at this time.
More Work Will Be Done In Less Time
There is a large job that must be accomplished on Earth in these Last Days, before Yahweh turns rulership over to mankind.
Genesis
1:26—
Then Yahweh said: Let My House at
Abel (which no human hand will be allowed to destroy) make mankind in
our image, according to our likeness; they will have rulership
over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the cattle,
and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon
the Earth.
Genesis
1:28—
Then Yahweh blessed him, and
Yahweh said to him: Be fruitful and multiply; fill the Earth and subdue
it: have rulership over the fish of the sea, over
the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the
Earth.
Peace To All Nations
The
world has
never been completely without war. However, in approximately two years
those who remain alive will see a world without war. Yahweh's 613 Laws
are His strength which will turn mankind from the way of the Gods to
total righteousness.
Lucifer presented to Eve the way of life of the Gods—a way of righteousness and evil. Adam and Eve both accepted this way of life. This brought sin, the breaking of Yahweh's Laws, to mankind. With sin comes unrest, anxiety and apprehension.
Genesis
3:3-8,
16-19—
3 But of the fruit of
the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Yahweh
has said: You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, or you will die.
4 And the serpent said
to the woman; You will not surely die.
5 For He knows that in the day
you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be as
gods (elohim), knowing righteousness and evil.
6 So when the woman
saw that the tree was desirable for food, that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one
wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her
husband with her, and he ate.
7 Then the eyes of both of them
were opened, and they realized that they had sinned;
they had violated Yahweh's Laws. Because
they had not kept Yahweh's Laws, they were afraid.
8 Then, on that day they heard
the way of Father Yahweh according to the word of Yahweh; the
Law and the Prophets, being proclaimed in the garden. So Adam
and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh among
the trees of the garden.
16 To the woman He said: I will
greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception. In pain you shall
bring forth children; you must be led by your
husband, for he shall rule over you.
17 Then to Adam He said: Because
you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of
which I commanded you, saying; You must not eat of it—cursed will
be the ground for your sake; in toil you shall eat from
it all the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it
shall bring forth for you, and you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 In the sweat of your face you
shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you were
taken; for dust you were, and to dust you shall return.
Adam, Like The Gods, Sinned
The sin committed by Adam brought unrest, suffering and death to mankind, which we see among civilization today.
Cain, the son of Adam and Eve, killed his brother Abel, a righteous Priest of Yahweh. This shows us the extent of Godworship. Nimrod continued in the way of the Gods, trying to bring peace through armed forces. This is the same means used by the governments today to bring peace. Scripture shows that Yahweh stands in the council of the Gods, but the Gods show no sign of repentance of their evil ways; neither does mankind.
Psalm
82:1-7—
1 Yahweh stands in the
assembly of the gods (elohim), and He gives judgment among the gods
(elohim)!
2 Yahweh says: How
long will you defend the unjust, and show partiality to the sinners?
3 You should
defend the weak and fatherless! You should maintain
the rights of the poor and oppressed!
4 You should rescue
the poor and needy, and deliver them from the hands of the wicked.
5 You know nothing, you
understand nothing; you walk about in darkness, and all the foundations
of the Earth are shaken because of you!
6 I have said:
You are gods (elohim), you sons of the Most High;
7 And like Adam you
will die. Just like all the other rulers, you will fall.
The
Earth
And Mankind
Created From A Well Laid
Plan
Everything that has occurred to the earth and to mankind is part of Yahweh's plan. Yahweh did not cause mankind to sin nor did He cause the angels (fallen malakim) to sin before mankind was created. Mankind and malakim are free moral agents, able to make their own choices.
Deuteronomy
30:19—
I call heaven and earth as
witnesses against you this day, that I
have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Because
you are free agents to make your own choice between righteousness and
evil—therefore choose life,
so both you and your children may live.
The
Scriptures
reveal that heavenly beings, created by Yahweh, turned against Yahweh's
Laws before the earth was created. These same heavenly beings
trespassed on the earth after Yahweh created it. There were great wars
in heaven and on earth even before mankind was created. These wars were
fought by the same beings who are now influencing mankind. The earth
became without form, it was void and filled with darkness because of
the actions of these beings.
Genesis
1:2—
Now the earth became
without form and empty; and darkness was upon the face of the deep...
The word darkness comes from the Hebrew word choshek which is word #2822, in the Hebrew Dictionary of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, and means the dark, darkness, misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow and wickedness.
The words without form are translated from the Hebrew word tohuw. The Hebraic Tongue Restored, by Fabre d'Olivet, page 467, shows this word to mean to be led astray.
The Earth was originally created for mankind, although man was not created until after the Earth was first destroyed. Mankind was very much a part of Yahweh's Plan from the beginning.
Isayah
45:18—
For this is what Yahweh, Who
created the heavens, Who is the Father, Who formed
the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in
vain, Who formed it to be inhabited, says: I am
Yahweh, and there is no other source of power!
Psalm
8:6-8—
6 You made man to be
the ruler over the works of Your hands; You will put all
things under his feet;
7 All sheep and oxen; yes, all
the beasts of the field;
8 All the fowls of the air and
the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the rivers in the seas
will be under the rule of man.
Yahchanan
1:1—
In the beginning was the
plan of Yahweh, and the plan was with Yahweh, and the plan
was Yahweh's.
Yahweh created mankind for the purpose of giving them great power and rulership. Mankind will have rulership over the beings who took part in the evil deception of the human race for 6,000 years. Mankind will not receive this power until they are made perfect in righteousness, just as Yahweh is.
Genesis
1:26—
Then Yahweh said: I will make man
in My image, according to My likeness;
they will have rulership over the fish of the sea,
over the birds of the air, over the cattle, and over all the
Earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the
Earth.
I
Corinthians
6:3—
Do you not know that we
will judge malakim? How much more, the things that pertain to
this life?
Psalm
8:8—
All the fowls of the air and the
fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the rivers in the seas will
be under the rule of man.
Hebrews
2:5-8—
5 For it is not to the malakim
that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking;
6 For one brings testimony in a
certain place, saying: What is man, that You are mindful of him, or the
son of man, that You visit him?
7 You made him a little lower
than the malakim; You crowned him with glory and honor, and
did set him over the works of your hands.
8 You have put all
things in subjection under his feet. In putting everything in
subjection under him, Yahweh left nothing that is not subject to him—but
at this time we do not yet see all things put under him.
Yahchanan said it best when he said nothing was done outside the Plan of Yahweh.
Yahchanan
1:1,3—
1 In the beginning was
the plan of Yahweh, and the plan was with Yahweh, and the
plan was Yahweh's.
3 All things were done
according to it, and without it nothing was done, that was done.
Yahweh was well aware of the sins of the angels (fallen malakim) in the universe and the destruction they were causing in the heavens. Yahweh even allowed them to bring this same destruction upon the earth.
Yahweh wanted a family of righteous beings who would rule in complete righteousness just as He rules. The word Yisrayl means he who rules as Yahweh. Yisrayl was the name that Yahweh gave to the Patriarch Yaaqob because he came to perfection through the 613 Laws of Yahweh.
Genesis
32:28—
And He said: Your name shall no
longer be called Yaaqob; that is Supplanter, but it
will be Israyl; for you have struggled
with Yahweh and with men and have prevailed.
Israyl is word #3478 in the Hebrew Dictionary of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance.
3478. larcy Yisrael, yis-raw-ale/; from 8280 and 410; he will rule as God; Jisrael, a symbolical name of Jacob; also (typically) of his posterity:—Israel
By studying the history of the earth and mankind, we can understand that the Creator is governing what takes place concerning mankind.
Yahweh Allowed The Angels To Trespass On Earth And Destroy It
The history we see written in Genesis 1 concerning the earth becoming void through ignorance, death and destruction, can be proven with physical evidence that was left in the earth.
For years, mankind has been fascinated with the fossil remains of the dinosaurs. These creatures lived on the earth before man was created. These awesome warlike animals were suddenly destroyed from the earth. From the book The Flood, by Alfred M. Rehwinkel, pages 220-234, we read the following information.
The fossil skeletons of prehistoric reptiles are well known to everyone. Possibly the best known of all these ancient reptiles is that large group called dinosaurs. ...From the evidence available it seems safe to conclude that in some parts of this continent these grotesque dragonlike creatures were as numerous as the hardy buffaloes on the Western prairie were a few generations ago, but with much more variety of form and species.
How these animals became extinct, why they perished simultaneously over the entire face of the Earth, and how they were massed together in huge reptilian cemeteries are inexplicable mysteries indeed. However, a sane and reasonable solution of this mystery is to be found in the universal flood catastrophe as described by Moses. Only water could at the same time destroy and bury them on so wide a scale.
The Flood
Yahweh allowed this destruction to occur for the benefit of mankind. He has given us recorded historical evidence, laid in the crust of the earth, for all eternity, showing us the result of sin—not following the 613 Laws of peace. From the book The Flood, pages 179-180, we read the following information.
...And yet even modern geology and other sciences have unwittingly contributed through the untiring efforts of geologists and other scientists that the Earth has yielded up physical evidence in great abundance to substantiate the record of Moses concerning a universal flood. The examination of a part of such evidence will therefore next engage our attention in this study.
The first of this evidence I wish to submit is what the geologists call "rubble drift and ossiferous fissures." By "rubble drift" is meant a certain type of deposit or sediment consisting of massive, angular unrolled material tumultuously deposited in local pockets and catchment areas, generally full of shattered bones. And by "ossiferous fissures" are meant great fissures or rents in the Earth which were formed by some violent contortion of the surface of the Earth.
The evidence of such fissures have been found in many places of the Earth, some of them measuring from 140 to 300 feet in depth. They were filled with debris which drifted into them soon after they opened. This probably explains why they did not close again. Such fissures have been found in England, France, southern Spain, Germany, Russia, and elsewhere. The interesting feature of thesefissures is the debris found in them, for they are filled with the remains of animals, among them those of the elephant, the rhinoceros, the hippopotamus, the reindeer, the horse, the hog, and the ox. The bones found in them cannot be of animals which fell in alive or were buried there, for no skeleton is complete. They cannot have been brought there by streams, for those who have examined them found no signs on them of having been rolled. Neither could the bones have been exposed to the weather for a long time, for none of them show marks of weathering. That water had something to do with depositing them is indicated by the very general cementing together of the deposits by calcite.
Again, it has been observed by such a competent geologist as Prestwich that these ossiferous fissures are usually found upon isolated hills of considerable height, places on which we might expect animals to gather in seeking safety from an approaching flood. Fleeing in terror and driven by the common danger, the carnivorous and herbivorous alike sought refuge on the same elevation, only to meet even here a common watery grave. A very remarkable classical example of such an isolated hill is found in Burgundy, France, in the valley of the Soane. The hill is about 1,030 feet above the surrounding plain, with steep flanks on all sides. A fissure near the top is crowded with animal skeletons. No skeleton is entire, the bones are fractured, are thrown together in a disorderly fashion, and are unweathered and ungnawed. Again we have the strange phenomenon that bears, wolves, horses, and oxen, animals which are ordinarily not found together as peaceful neighbors, scale an isolated mountain only to die and have their remains preserved in a common grave. Such a flood as described in Genesis offers the most reasonable explanation for this phenomenon.
It was no surprise to Yahweh when mankind became totally evil. In fact, Yahweh allowed mankind to do so. He allowed evil to prevail on the earth so mankind could experience what occurs when evil is left unchecked.
Yahchanan
1:1—
In
the beginning was the
plan of Yahweh, and the plan was with Yahweh, and the plan
was Yahweh's.
Remember that Yahweh is creating mankind to become like Himself.
Yahweh allowed His righteous Priest Abel to be killed. He allowed sinful men to prevail with no correction until every thought and intent of the heart of man was totally corrupted. There was no peace on the earth because the Laws of Peace were totally ignored. There was only ignorance, suffering, destruction and death. People were cruel and took advantage of one another. This still takes place today.
Yahweh was not at all surprised at this wickedness. He allowed it for the purpose of proving to mankind, the Courts of Heaven and the billions of living beings what would take place when sin was left unrestrained and righteousness was not taught.
We will forever have this record of history to serve as permanent living proof that without Yahweh's Laws, and righteous men to teach them, mankind would become totally evil.
With The House of Yahweh destroyed and Abel, the righteous Priest of Yahweh dead, mankind deteriorated in mind and spirit to the point that every intent of his heart was continually evil.
Genesis
6:5—
Then
Yahweh saw that the
wickedness of man was great in the earth,
and every intent of the thoughts of man's
heart was only evil, continually.
These men did not have righteous teachers. Yahweh the Creator of mankind deliberately allowed His Laws to be rejected. He allowed the Gods to step in and lead mankind into this evil.
Genesis
6:3-5,13—
3 And
Yahweh said: The men of
this world will never subject themselves to My word; The Law
and the Prophets, for they are indeed carnally minded. Thus,
their days shall be one hundred and twenty years.
4
There will be tyrants on the
Earth in those days. And truly, in a day yet to come, when those who
follow the gods (elohim)—those who worship the gods
(elohim) come, they will bring forth those mighty ones who are enemies
of Yahweh—men which from even the days of old were
known as men of an infamous name.
5
Then Yahweh saw that the
wickedness of man was great in the Earth, and every
intent of the thoughts of man's heart was
only evil, continually.
13
And Yahweh said to Noah: The
end of all flesh has come before Me, for the Earth is filled
with violence through them; and I will destroy them with the
Earth.
The beings, who promoted themselves as Gods, were allowed to bring destruction, misery and death to everything around them. Although Yahweh does not want mankind to become like the Gods, He allows them to influence mankind. Mankind will then have a complete history of destruction in order to fully understand the consequences of rejecting Yahweh's Laws.
It was Yahweh's Plan for mankind to learn this vital lesson while he has little power. What a great lesson for mankind to learn. This should have been a sufficient lesson for mankind. With the history of destruction from Godworship, mankind should never have wanted to stray from Yahweh's Laws again, but they did not learn. This was only the first of many lessons that will bring us to perfection.
Since the time of the flood, Yahweh has continued to furnish us with historical records of what occurs when mankind ignores Yahweh's 613 Laws. Once again, mankind has ignored Yahweh's Laws, becoming totally corrupted with every intention of their hearts being evil. With the overwhelming hatred among nations we can plainly see a world at war.
Yahweh does not interfere except in a small way to protect His Last Days Work. He has shown us what mankind's evil, rebellious ways are bringing upon themselves and the earth.
Isayah
24:1-6—
1
Before Yahweh's very
eyes the earth is made empty and it is made waste, the face of it is
perverted and its inhabitants scattered abroad;
2 And
it will be: as with the people,
so with the priest; as with the servant, so with
his owner; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer,
so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with
him who takes usury, so with him who gives usury to him:
3 The
land will be utterly
emptied and utterly plundered, for it has come to pass that this
judgment has been pronounced.
4 The
earth mourns and fades
away, the world mourns and fades away, and the haughty people of the
earth languish.
5 The
earth also is defiled under
the inhabitants of it, because they have transgressed the Laws,
changed the ordinance, and broken
the everlasting covenant.
6 Because
of this, the
curse has devoured the earth, and they who dwell therein are
desolate; therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few
men left.
Mattithyah
24:14—
And this
message of the
Kingdom will be preached to all the world by the one who bears witness
to all nations; and then the end will come.
Yahweh knew that the nature of man could be influenced to sin. In fact, He told Cain this very thing, but stated it can and must be overcome.
Genesis
4:7—
If
you do righteousness, will you
not be accepted? And if you do not do righteousness, sin is
crouching at your door. The desire to sin is with you, but
you must overcome it!
Yahweh also knew that many of the malakim had turned to an evil, rebellious nature. Scripture shows that they became Gods, which simply means they raised themselves up above others who were their equal or above those who were in authority over them.
Lucifer did the same thing and became a God herself.
Isayah
14:12-14—
12
How you have fallen from
heaven, O Hillel; Lucifer, Aphrodite, Venus, child
of the light! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the
nations!
13 For
you have said in
your heart; I will ascend above the heavens; I will raise my throne
above the stars of Yahweh. I will sit in the highest place on the holy
mountain of the congregation.
14 I
will ascend above the
heights of the clouds; I will be like the most high.
Yechetzqyah
28:2,6—
2 Son
of man, say to that prince
of Tyre; This is what Father Yahweh says: because your heart
is lifted up, and you have said; I am a god (el); I sit in
the seat of a god (el), in the midst of the
seas—I (Yahweh) therefore say to you: Yet
you are a created being, and not the Almighty,
though you set your heart to be the Almighty.
6
Therefore, this is what Father
Yahweh says: because you have set your heart to be a god (el);
Yahweh knew that these evil angels would trespass on earth and that mankind would be influenced by them. Yahweh has used this to test and try those whom He called and chose for His planned Kingdom of saints. He intends to give His saints rulership over all the universe.
The saints must prove themselves faithful to Yahweh's Laws. They must be converted to the likeness of Yahweh before they will be given this great power and rulership.
Psalm
66:10—
For
You, O Yahweh, have proved
us. You have refined us as silver is refined.
Daniyl
12:10—
Many
will be purified,
and made white, and tried; tested; but
the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand,
but the wise will understand.
Genesis
1:26—
Then
Yahweh said: Let My House at
Abel (which no human hand will be allowed to destroy) make mankind in
our image, according to our likeness; they will have rulership
over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the cattle,
and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon
the Earth.
Psalm
8:8—
All
the fowls of the air and the
fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the rivers in the seas will
be under the rule of man.
Daniyl
7:27—
Then
the kingdoms and
governments, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, will
be given to the people of the saints of Yahweh, Whose kingdom
is an everlasting kingdom, and all
governments will serve and obey Him.
Psalm
110:3—
Your
people will have
proved themselves obedient to the Law on the day You go forth in power.
They will unite with You, arrayed in their holy garments. Like the
morning dew, they will completely cover the earth, governing with You.
Yahweh in no way tempts, nor does He cause either malakim or mankind to follow the ways of death. In fact, Yahweh continually warns both mankind and malakim beforehand of the curses that are brought on individuals, nations and the universe as a result of going against His Laws.
Genesis
3:2-3—
2 And
the woman said to the
serpent; We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;
3 But
of the fruit of the tree
which is in the midst of the garden, Yahweh has
said: You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, or you
will die.
Deuteronomy
28:15,20,45-58-61—
15 However,
if you do
not obey Yahweh your Father, and do not carefully follow all His Laws
and His Statutes, which I command you this day, then
you will cause all these curses to come upon you, and
accompany you.
20 It
will come to pass that you
will have given yourself curses, confusion, and rebuke, in everything
you put your hand to do, until you are destroyed and come to sudden
ruin, because of the wickedness you have done in forsaking Me.
45
Moreover, all these
curses will come upon you, and will pursue you, and will overtake you,
until you are destroyed—because you simply
did not obey the voice of Yahweh your Father, to keep
His Laws and His Statutes, which He commanded you.
58
If you do not
carefully observe and do all the words of the Law, that are written in
this book, in order that you may reverence this glorious and
reverent Name: YAHWEH YOUR FATHER,
59
Then it will come to
pass that you will cause fearful plagues, harsh and prolonged
disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses to be brought upon you
and your descendants.
60 It
will also come to
pass that you will cause all the diseases of Egypt
which you were afraid of, to be brought back upon you, and they will cling
to you;
61 It
will come to pass
that you will cause every other sickness and every other
disaster, which is not written in this Book of the Law, to also be
brought upon you, until you are destroyed.
Malakyah
4:1—
For,
behold, the day
comes that will burn like an oven; and all the proud, yes, and all who
do wickedly, will be stubble—the day that
comes will burn them up, says Yahweh of hosts; and it will
leave them neither root nor branch.
Yahweh even warns the Gods of the effects of sin - the breaking of His Laws.
Psalm
82:1-7—
1 Yahweh
stands in the
assembly of the gods (elohim), and He gives judgment among
the gods (elohim)!
2 Yahweh
says:
How long will you defend the unjust, and show partiality to the
sinners?
3 You
should
defend the weak and fatherless! You should maintain
the rights of the poor and oppressed!
4 You
should
rescue the poor and needy, and deliver them from the hands of the
wicked.
5 You
know nothing, you
understand nothing; you walk about in darkness, and all the
foundations of the Earth are shaken because of you!
6 I
have said: You are
gods (elohim), you sons of the Most High;
7 And
like Adam you
will die. Just like all the other rulers, you will fall.
What hope does righteous Yahweh have in building a totally righteous Kingdom from mankind? Is there any hope of turning mankind from the way of the Gods, a way of righteousness and evil, to complete and perfect righteousness? After all, Lucifer and the Gods have had their way with mankind for 6,000 years now.
The Children of Today Have No Hope Without The Laws Of Yahweh.
Give Them The Opportunity They Deserve.

Is There Hope Of Bringing Mankind To The Perfect Image Of Yahweh?
Yahweh absolutely cannot and will not go contrary to the inspired promises and instructions He gives to mankind. What He promises; He will do. He will not say one thing and do something else. Yahweh, unlike mankind, cannot be bribed. The very judgments Yahweh inspired to be written and handed down to mankind can be depended upon.
The Kingdom Of Heaven
Hundreds of Scriptures teach that there is a Kingdom of Yahweh ruling in heaven at this time. Almost everyone believes that there is only one Being in heaven who is some kind of "gassy God'' who has no form and cannot be seen or heard.
Scripture actually reveals there are vast kingdoms of beings in heaven. The plan and the action for the creation of mankind originated in the Kingdom of Yahweh. Mankind was made in the same bodily form as Yahweh. Only through Scripture will you be able to understand the great potential intended for mankind contained in Yahweh's great Plan.
In the Kingdom of Yahweh, His will is done, just as the Savior prayed under inspiration. Yahshua's example of prayer is written for our learning in the following Scripture.
Mattithyah
6:10—
Your
Kingdom come. Your
will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
We know from Scripture that Yahweh dwells in the Third Heaven which is the location of His throne at this time.
II
Corinthians
12:2,4—
2
More than fourteen years ago a
Man, Who was the Messiah, was revealed to me. Whether He was in His
physical body, or outside of His physical body, was not revealed to me;
Yahweh was doing the revealing. This Man was taken up to the third
heaven.
4
This Man was taken to
the abode of Yahweh, and heard unspoken words that were not
possible for a man to speak.
There are many beings in the universe who do the will of Yahweh; however, all are not perfect. In fact, there is misery and unjust treatment among many beings who will not humble themselves in obedience to Yahweh. These beings are called Gods and Angels. Although Yahweh counsels the Gods and Angels to do righteousness, these beings have free moral agency at this time. These beings also have a character of righteousness and evil.
Who Are The Gods?
Lucifer is one of those beings counseled by Yahweh. On certain occasions she appears before Him.
Iyyob
1:6-7—
6 Now
there was a day when the
sons of Yahweh came to present themselves before Yahweh,
and Satan; the Adversary and Accuser,
also came among them.
7
Yahweh said to Satan: Where do
you come from? Satan answered Yahweh, and said; From going back and
forth in the Earth, and from walking up and down in it.
The name Satan is the word #7854 from #7853 in the Hebrew Dictionary of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and means attack, accuse, be an adversary, opponent, the arch enemy of righteousness, withstand.
Satan is against Yahweh's Plan for mankind. She does not want mankind to become perfectly righteous or take rulership.
Satan is against mankind coming to this perfection because she knows when perfected, mankind will receive rulership. That rulership will actually be used to govern Satan and the fallen angels who followed her in her rebellion.
Revelation
12:9-11—
9 And
the great dragon was cast
out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,
who deceives the whole world. She was cast out into the
Earth, and her angels were cast out with her.
10
And I heard a loud voice
saying in heaven: Now is come salvation, and strength, and
the Kingdom of our Father, and the power of His Messiah; for the
accuser of our brothers is cast down, who accused them before
our Father day and night!
11
And they overcame her
by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; the
Law and the Prophets, and they loved not their lives unto the
death.
Before these angels were cast out, they were causing great chaos in the heavens, as well as influencing mankind.
When Lucifer tempted Eve, she promised Eve that she would be like the Gods if she accepted their religion. The religions we see in the world today are of the Gods.
These religions are a mixture of righteousness and evil, since they mostly consist of additions and deletions to Yahweh's 613 Perfect Laws.
The
name Lucifer
in the Hebrew Dictionary of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance
is word #1966 from word #1984 and has the following meanings.
1966. ll@yh@ heylel, hay-lale/; from 1984 (in the sense of brightness); the morning-star:-lucifer.

The word devil in the Greek Dictionary of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance is word #1228 from word #1225 and is compared to word #7854.
1228. diabolozV diabolos, dee-ab/-ol-os; from 1225; a traducer; spec. Satan [comp. 7854]:—false accuser, devil, slanderer

In Mattithyah 7:22, the English word devil is used. This word devil comes from the Greek word daimonian, word #1140 in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and has the same meaning as the Caananite word El which means deity, devil, god.
The Caananite word el, adopted by the Hebrew people, is word #410 in the Hebrew Dictionary of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance.
410. la@ 'el, ale; short. from 352; strength; as adj. mighty; espec. the Almighty (but used also of any deity):- God (god), x goodly, x great, idol, might(-y one), power, strong. Comp. names in "-el."
The plural form of the word el is elohim, word #430 which in turn is the plural of word #433.
430. myh!la$ 'elohiym, el-o-heem/; plur. of 433; gods in the ordinary sense; but spec. used (in the plur. thus, esp. with the art.) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative:7angels, x exceeding, God (gods) (-dess, -ly), x (very) great, judges, x mighty.
433. H^w.la$ 'elowahh el-o-ah; rarely (short.)
H^.la$ 'eloahh, el-o/-ah; prob. prol. (emphat.) from 410; a deity or the Deity:—God, god. See 430.
The Interpreters Dictionary of the Bible, Volume 1, page 817 tells us that a God (el or elohim) is nothing more than a demon.
...In the original sense, a demon may be defined broadly as an anonymous god - i.e., as a personification of one of another of those vaguer, less identifiable powers and influences that were believed to operate alongside the major deities and to condition particular circumstances and experiences. In Homer, e.g., "demon'' (daimwn) and "god'' (qeozV) are virtually interchangeable...
El and Elohim were the titles of pagan Canaanite Gods that were assimilated by our forefathers and used to replace Yahweh's Name. From this same source, we are plainly shown that the power behind these Gods are demons, and their leader Satan.
A. IN THE OT. 1. Daimonism, a Daimon, The Hebrew equivalent of "demon'' (daimon) in the original sense is simply la or <yhla ('elo-him), commonly rendered "god.''
We can clearly see that the previous words do not pertain to the Creator Whose Name is Yahweh. These words refer to deities who have made themselves Gods and Goddesses. Lucifer, the Gods, and many others are in opposition to Yahweh's 613 Laws. The very meanings of these words show us that these beings are adversaries to Yahweh the Creator.
Genesis
35:2—
And
Yaaqob said to his household,
and to all with him; Put away the forbidden gods
(elohim) among you! Purify yourselves and change your garments.
I
Kings
11:5,33—
5
Because Solomon went after Ashtoreth,
the goddess of the Phoenicians (Sidonians), and after Milcom
(the god; el, Molech), the abomination of
the Ammonites.
33 I
will do this
because they have forsaken Me, and worshiped Ashtoreth the
Goddess of the Phoenicians (Sidonians), Chemosh the
God (El) of the Moabites, and Milcom (Molech) and
the God (El) of the people of Ammon, and have not walked in
My ways, to do that which is right in My eyes, and to keep My statutes
and My judgments, as David his father did.
This is the same word used in I Kings 11:5,33 referring to Ashtoreth, the Goddess of the Phoenicians. It has the same meaning and actually refers to the same being as the Greek word translated Goddess in the following Scriptures.
Acts
19:27,35—
27 So
there is danger not only of
this trade of ours falling into disrepute, but also the temple of the
great goddess (elohim) Artemis becoming despised
and her magnificence destroyed; whom all Asia and the world worships.
35
And when the town clerk had
calmed the crowd down, he said; Men of Ephesus, what man is there who
does not know that the city of the Ephesians is the temple guardian of
the great goddess (elohim) Artemis, and of the
sacred stone image of her that fell from Zeus?
This word goddess is word #2299 the feminine form of word #2316 and word #3588 in the Greek Dictionary of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and means a female deity, goddess, God.
Lucifer promoted herself above all the other Gods who were worshiped in Egypt. The Scriptures show that the Hebrew people eventually turned from Yahweh and worshiped the Gods they left behind in Egypt.
Exodus
12:12—
For I
will pass through the land
of Egypt this night. Because of what the Egyptians did, it will come to
pass that all the firstborn in the land of Egypt will be struck down;
both men and animals, and judgment will be executed on all the gods
(elohim) of Egypt. I am Yahweh.
Exodus
34:15-16—
15 Be
careful to make
no treaty with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute
themselves to their gods (elohim) and sacrifice to them, they
will invite you, and you will eat their sacrifices.
16
And when you
take of their daughters for your sons, and their daughters prostitute
themselves to their gods (elohim), your sons will prostitute themselves
with them.
Numbers
25:2—
They
invited them to the
sacrifices of their gods (elohim), and the people
went and bowed down in front of their gods (elohim).
Deuteronomy
31:16—
And
Yahweh said to Mosheh:
Behold, you are going to rest with your fathers, and these
people will soon prostitute themselves to the gods (elohim)
of the land which they are entering; they will forsake Me, and break
the covenant which I made with them.
Deuteronomy
32:17—
They
sacrificed to
demons (gods, elohim), which are not of Yahweh, to gods
(elohim) they did not know; to gods (elohim) newly come up, to gods
(elohim, teraphim) your fathers did not worship.
I
Kings 11:2—
From
the very nations Yahweh had
commanded the children of Israyl: You must not marry them, and they
must not marry you; because they will turn away your heart
after their gods (elohim)!
To these, Solomon clung in love.
Yeremyah
10:11—
This
is what you will say to
them; These gods (elohim), which have not made the heavens
and the Earth, will perish from the Earth and from under these heavens!
Yeremyah
11:13—
For according
to the
number of your cities were your gods (elohim), O Yahdah; and according
to the number of the streets of Yerusalem you have set up
altars to The Shame; Bosheth—altars to burn
incense to Baal; the Lord!
Yeremyah
16:11—
Then
you will say to them;
Because your fathers have forsaken Me! says Yahweh. They have
walked after the hinder gods (elohim), and have served
them and worshiped them! They have
forsaken Me, by not keeping My Law!
Yahweh's
Power Over
The
Gods
Yahweh's Kingdom is much stronger and mightier than the kingdoms of the Gods. These deceiving adversaries have come against Yahweh in heaven, on earth, and in the heavenly courts. Yahweh can use His mighty powers against these adversaries at any time He chooses.
Exodus
12:12—
For I
will pass through the land
of Egypt this night. Because of what the Egyptians did, it will come to
pass that all the firstborn in the land of Egypt will be struck down;
both men and animals, and judgment will be executed on all the gods
(elohim) of Egypt. I am Yahweh.
Exodus
15:11—
Who
among the gods
(elohim) is like you, O Yahweh! Who is like
You, majestic in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders?
Exodus
18:11—
Now I
know that Yahweh
is greater than all the gods (elohim); for He did this to
those who had treated Israyl arrogantly.
Yahweh works through the courts of Heaven to establish and bring about His will. Yahweh showed His great power over the Gods before bringing the children of Israyl out of Egypt. We have a permanent record of this event in Exodus Chapters 7-11. Yahweh showed the strength of His Laws by using them to turn the people from evil. Certain leaders had to be turned from the evil of Godworship before they could start leading others out of Godworship and Egypt.
Using Yahweh's Laws To lead The People
Yethro, Mosheh's father-in-law, was the Priest of Yahweh who taught Mosheh.
Exodus
3:1—
Now
Mosheh was tending the flock
of Yethro; that is, His
Excellency, his relation-by-law, a priest of
Midian; and he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to
Horeb, the mountain of Yahweh.
Exodus
18:1,10-11,19-20—
1 Now
Yethro, the
priest of Midian and relative-by-law to Mosheh, heard of
everything Yahweh had done for Mosheh and for His people Israyl; and
how Yahweh had brought Israyl out of Egypt.
10
And Yethro said; Blessed be
Yahweh, Who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out
of the hand of Pharaoh, and Who has delivered the
people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
11
Now I know that
Yahweh is greater than all the gods (elohim); for He did this
to those who had treated Israyl arrogantly.
19 Listen
now to me,
and I will give you sound advice, and may Yahweh be with you. You must
be the people's representative before Yahweh and bring their disputes
to Him.
20
And you shall teach
them the ordinances and Laws, and shall show them the way in which they
must walk, and the work that they must do.
Mosheh and Aaron were the first ones at that time whose minds were opened to the understanding of Yahweh's Laws. They were the first to understand that Godworship and the Gods themselves opposed Yahweh's Laws.
After realizing the necessity of the basic moral Laws of Yahweh, these leaders guided the rest of the Hebrew people to understand that they must leave Egypt in order to obey and sacrifice to Yahweh.
The word serve comes from the Hebrew word abad, word #5647 in the Hebrew dictionary of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and means to worship.
Mosheh taught the leaders of Israyl that they must leave Egypt and become their own nation in a land given to Abraham and his descendants. There, they must become workers of Yahweh, worshiping Him by living by His 613 Laws, in order to become perfect.
Deuteronomy
18:13—
You
must be perfect
in front of Yahweh your Father.
To become perfect one must first come to know the perfect way. One must then realize the importance of following that perfect way and desire to become perfect. Then one must adjust his life and be converted to that perfect way.
Deuteronomy
32:4—
He is
the Rock. His
works are perfect; Yahweh's ways are justice indeed! He is
the Father of truth, and does no wrong. Upright and Just is He.
I
Kings 8:61—
Let
your heart be
perfect with Yahweh our Father, to walk in His statutes, and
to keep His Laws, as it is this day.
Psalm
19:7—
The
Laws of Yahweh are
perfect, converting the whole person. The testimony of Yahweh
is sure, making the simple ones wise.
II
Timothy
3:16-17—
16
All Scripture that is
given through inspiration of Yahweh is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness;
17
That the man of
Yahweh may become perfect, thoroughly furnished for every
righteous work.
Hebrews
2:10—
For
it was fitting for
Him—on account of Whom are all things
and through Whom are all things, in bringing many
sons to glory—to lead the Prince of their salvation to
perfection through
sufferings.
Hebrews
13:21—
Make
you perfect
in every righteous work to do His will; working in you that which is
well pleasing in His sight, as He did in Yahshua messiah—to
Yahweh Who belongs the glory forever and ever.
HalleluYahweh!
A Record Of A Priest Who Becomes Old And His Sons Become Unrighteous
Those who qualify to receive the Priesthood promised to Abraham will receive eternal life. The permanent historical record has established that the human body, whose life is in the blood, weakens as it ages. This weakness is reflected in the rulership and in the work man is able to perform. He also begins to overlook, or at least become more lenient towards, the sins of those individuals who are becoming unrighteous. Such was the case with the Prophet Samuyl. Samuyl remained firm and faithful to Yahweh in his own life; however, he was not so strict in his old age with his sons and the Priesthood he governed.
The sons of Samuyl were not righteous priests. They did not walk in the ways of their father. Yahweh's plan was to let this remain as a future example to mankind and a record for the courts of heaven.
I
Samuyl
8:1,3-7—
1 When
Samuyl became
old, he made his sons judges over Israyl.
3 But
his sons did not
walk in his ways. They sought dishonest gain, took bribes, and
perverted justice.
4
Then all the elders of Israyl
gathered together and approached Samuyl when he was at Ramah,
5
Saying to him; You are old, and
your sons do not walk in your ways. Appoint us a king to judge us; just
like all the other nations.
6 But
these things displeased
Samuyl, especially when they said; Give us a king
to judge us. Then Samuyl prayed to Yahweh.
7
Yahweh answered Samuyl, and
said: Listen to all the words the people speak to
you, for they have not rejected you; they have rejected
Me, that I should not reign over them.
By allowing the leadership of the Priest to weaken, and righteousness to become mixed with evil, we see the gradual decay of a whole nation that turned back to Godworship.
Samuyl became old and reluctant to exercise strict leadership over the guiding priesthood. Evil was practiced and with the evil came depression and sadness. The majority vote ruled the priesthood, instead of the strict righteousness of Yahweh's Laws.
The majority requested a king rather than righteous Priests to rule over them. The priesthood was chosen by bloodline and not by righteousness as Yahweh's Laws require. Bloodline alone does not insure that righteousness will continue forever.
Saul Chosen—Another Record Set
In yielding to the request of the majority a king was chosen over the nation of Israyl. Saul was accepted by Yahweh, indicating that he was the best that the Twelve Tribes had to offer at that time, even among the sons of Samuyl.
I
Samuyl
9:1-2,17—
1
There was a man of Benyamin
whose name was Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of
Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benyaminite.
2 He
had a son whose name was
Saul. He was impressive and handsome—without equal among the
children of Israyl, and he was a head taller than any of the people.
17 When
Samuyl saw
Saul, Yahweh said to him: There he is, the man of whom I spoke to you.
This one shall reign over My people.
I
Samuyl 10:1,24—
1 Then
Samuyl took a
flask of oil and poured it on Saul's head and kissed him,
saying; Is this not because Yahweh has anointed you leader
over His inheritance?
24
Then Samuyl said to all the
people; Do you see him whom Yahweh has chosen?
There is no one else like him among all the people! Then all the people
shouted, and said; Long live the king!
Yahweh has never claimed that the righteous genes of one man insures the righteousness of his son or daughter. Yahweh's claim is that each person has the right and opportunity to make up their mind about the way they desire to live, whether it is righteous or evil.
Saul's heart did not prove to be faithful to Yahweh's Laws. Along with power and authority Saul had the great duty as King to perfectly keep and uphold Yahweh's 613 Laws. The Scriptural record shows that Saul did not maintain the standard of righteousness under the continual pressure of the people to turn to sin.
The lesson Yahweh is teaching us here is that Saul's kingdom fell for the same reason the destruction is coming upon us now, because he did not continue in Yahweh's Law.
I
Samuyl
13:13—
Then
Samuyl said to Saul; You
have behaved foolishly. You have not kept the Law of Yahweh
your Father, which He commanded you. If you had, Yahweh would
have established your kingdom over Israyl forever.
I
Samuyl
15:23—
Because
rebellion is as the sin
of witchcraft, and stubbornness is the same as
iniquity and godworship (the worship of elohim); because you
have rejected the word of Yahweh, He, also, has rejected you from being
king.
The one after the order of Melchizedek, Yahshua Messiah, did hold up under the pressure and now sits at the right hand of Yahweh. He did so by taking hold of the Strength of Yahweh7the 613 written Laws. He will rule the Kingdom with the rest of the Holy Priesthood who also proved themselves worthy.
Hebrews
5:5-10—
5 So
the Messiah also did not
take upon Himself the glory of becoming a High Priest, but Yahweh said
to Him: You are My Son; today I have begotten You.
6 As
He also says in another
Scripture: you are a priest forever after the order
of Melchizedek.
7
Who, in the days of His flesh,
when He had offered up prayers and supplications with loud cries and
tears to the One Who could save Him from death, was heard because of
His holy reverence.
8
Though He was a Son, yet He
learned obedience from the things which He suffered;
9
Then being perfected, He became
the Causer of eternal salvation to all those who obey Him.
10 Called
by Yahweh a
High Priest after the order of Melchizedek,
Psalm
110:4—
Yahweh
has vowed an oath, and
will not relent nor change His mind: you are a priesthood
forever after the order of Melchizedek.
The Strength In Yahweh's Laws
The Apostle Shaul was inspired to write that he was not ashamed of the message for it is the strength of Yahweh to everlasting life. This message has the power to turn people from evil to everlasting life. In this message, the righteousness of Yahweh is revealed.
Romans
1:16—
For
I am not ashamed of
the message, for it is the strength of Yahweh unto
life everlasting for everyone who believes: to
the Yahdai
first, and also to the Greek.
The Laws of Yahweh have the power and strength to turn the hearts of men to righteousness and create within them a perfect character. The righteousness of Yahweh is His Laws.
Deuteronomy
6:1,25—
1 Now
these are the
Laws, the statutes, and the judgments which Yahweh your
Father has commanded me to teach you: so that you may observe them in
the land you are crossing over to possess;
25 And
it will be our
righteousness, if we observe to do all of this Law before
Yahweh our Father, as He has commanded us.
The Prophets Malakyah and Daniyl were inspired to write that prior to the great destruction, Yahweh would send the Laws and the Prophets to all nations.
Daniyl
12:1—
And at
that time
will Micahyah stand up, the great ruler who stands for the children of
your people; and there will be a time of trouble, such as
never was since there was a nation to that same time. And at
that time your people will be delivered, everyone who will be found
written in The Book of Life.
Malakyah
4:1,4-67
1
For, behold, the day
comes that will burn like an oven; and all the proud, yes,
and all who do wickedly, will be stubble—the day that comes
will burn them up, says Yahweh of hosts; and it will leave them neither
root nor branch.
4 Remember
the Law of
Mosheh My servant, which I commanded through him in Horeb for
all Israyl, with the statutes and judgments.
5
Behold, I will send
Yliyah: the Law and the prophets, which is The
Strength of Yahweh, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of
Yahweh;
6 And
it will turn the hearts of
the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their
fathers; before the earth is struck with a curse; cherem,
utter destruction in The Day of Yahweh.
The Prophet Malakyah was inspired to write that just before the great Day of Yahweh would come, Yahweh would establish a Work to bring one last warning to this world. This Work is to proclaim Yahweh's Laws and Prophets, thereby turning the remnant of the people to Yahweh before the end comes (Mattithyah 24:14 and Yahchanan Mark 13:10).
Never Before To All Nations
Amosyah
3:2—
You
only have I known of
all the families of the Earth...
Yahweh could have chosen any group of people, opened their minds to understanding, and trained them in His 613 Laws. Yahweh then could have used these people to bring peace through His Laws.
All of mankind came from Adam and Eve and are of the same nature. They can all be influenced until they determine in their minds to be or become a certain way. When Yahweh influences a person with righteousness it is possible for that person to develop within himself a perfect character. However, that person must willfully make the choice.
Yahweh dealt with Abel and Cain. Abel chose to live by Yahweh's Laws and was accepted by Him to become His first righteous Priest. Yahweh also used Abel to establish The House of Yahweh, teaching Yahweh's 613 Laws to as many as Yahweh drew to him.
Yahweh used His 613 Laws to bring that first House to perfection. Yahweh proved to the Gods and courts of heaven that His perfect Laws have the strength to turn the hearts of mankind to perfection.
The righteous genes from Yahweh's strength, His Laws, were established in mankind through Abel the first righteous Priest of Yahweh.
Abel Started The House Of Yahweh
Abel was a righteous priest of Yahweh. He was a priest who offered sacrifices and offerings to Yahweh, and Yahweh recognized Abel's righteousness by accepting his sacrifices.
Genesis
4:2-4—
2
Then she bore again; this time
his brother Abel was born. Now Abel was a
keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 And
on one of Yahweh's
Sabbaths, it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of
the ground to Yahweh;
4 And
Abel, besides
bringing his offering of the fruit of the ground, also
brought a sacrifice of the firstlings of his flock
and of their fat. And Yahweh honored Abel and his offerings;
According to Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon of the Old Testament, by Samuel Tregelles, page 773, the phrase keeper of sheep (referring to Abel in verse two above), comes from the Hebrew word #7462, and means teacher of virtue and wisdom.
The Readers Digest Great Encyclopedia Dictionary, page 1498, shows the word virtue to mean the quality of moral righteousness or excellence.
We find in Deuteronomy 6:25 that righteousness is the performance of Yahweh's 613 Laws. Therefore, the phrase keeper of sheep is translated teacher of righteousness. By this we know that Abel taught and performed Yahweh's Laws.
Deuteronomy
6:25—
And it
will be our
righteousness, if we observe to do all of this Law before
Yahweh our Father, as He has commanded us.
The phrase tiller of the ground, which refers to Abel's brother Cain, in Genesis 4:2, is the Hebrew word #5647. Gesenius Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon of the Old Testament, by Samuel Tregelles, page 598, defines this word as servant of the gods and man.
These definitions show us clearly, that Abel was a Priest of Yahweh, and Cain was a priest of God or the Gods.
Genesis
4:8-11—
8 Now
Cain talked with Abel his
brother; and it came to pass, when they were spread abroad, that Cain
rose against Abel his brother and killed him.
9
Then Yahweh said to Cain: Where
is Abel your brother? And he said; I do not
know. Am I my brother's keeper?
10
And He said: What have you
done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to Me from the
ground.
11 So
now, you are
cursed from the earth which has opened its mouth to receive your
brother's blood from your hand.
A person who follows Yahweh's 613 Laws, as Abel did, brings harm to no one. Abel taught and practiced peace, and those who followed him practiced the same Laws of peace. Yet, Yahweh allowed His righteous priest, Abel, to be killed.
The First Work Of Yahweh Named For Abel
Before Abel was killed, he established The House of Yahweh in a city, in Israyl, named after him, the city of ABILENE. This is the same Abilene: where Yahchanan the Immerser began preaching Yahweh's Message of Salvation.
Luke
3:1—
Now
in the fifteenth year of the
reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Yahdah,
Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip was
tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis,
Lysanias was tetrarch of ABILENE.
The fact that the first work of Yahweh began in a city named after Abel, the first righteous priest, is acknowledged throughout the Scriptures.
I
Samuel 6:18,KJV—
And
the golden mice according
to the number of all the cities of the Philistines, belonging
to the five lords, both of fenced cities,
and of
country villages, even unto the GREAT STONE
of Abel, whereon they set down the
Ark of the Lord; which stone remaineth unto this
day, in the field of Joshua the Beth-Shemite.
This verse is part of the account when the Philistines stole the Ark of Yahweh from Israyl by military force. The Philistines suffered Yahweh's judgment to the extent that they decided to return the Ark to Israyl. This Scripture then tells the exact place in Israyl where the Ark was returned. As further research shows, this verse, and one other, reveal much more than meets the eye.
Most Bible translations render this verse as the King James Version did. They translate it to simply say: The Ark of the Lord stopped at a large rock. When this verse is researched, the words the great stone are shown to be mistranslated.
These words are translated from the Hebrew word hagadolah. These words are listed on page 152 of A Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament, by Brown, Driver, and Briggs, which shows these words are correctly translated The Great House of Yahweh.
Now read this verse with the correct translation restored.
I
Samuyl 6:18—
The
gold rats represented the
number of all the cities of the five rulers of the Philistines7the
fortified cities with their country villages. Abel, THE GREAT
HOUSE OF YAHWEH, where they set the Ark of Yahweh, is a
witness to this day in the field of Yahshua of Beth Shemesh.
When the Philistines returned the Ark of Yahweh which they had stolen, the animals they left to haul it actually took this Ark to the very site where the first House of Yahweh stood. This fact is further confirmed by the wise woman who spoke to David's military commander named Yahab when he was seeking a traitor who had opposed his king.
II
Samuyl
20:18—
Then
she spoke, saying; They used
to speak long ago, saying: To receive an answer, ASK AT ABEL;
and that would settle a matter.
It was known from the beginning where the first House of Yahweh stood. Men such as Enoch, Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Yaaqob, Mosheh, Yahshua ben Nun and Samuyl all knew where this site was, and passed this information on to their successors.
When other Scriptures are added with these two, we learn that these Scriptures not only show what was in the past, but what will be in the future as well. The wise woman in II Samuyl 20:18 said that one had to go to Abel to receive an answer, because it was known even then that The First House of Yahweh was the same pillar and ground of the truth mentioned in later times by the Apostle Shaul.
I
Timothy
3:15—
But
if I am delayed, I write so
that you may know the right and proper way to conduct yourself in the
House of Yahweh, who are the Called Out Ones of the Living Father, the
pillar and ground of the truth.
The very site where this first House of Yahweh stood was named after Abel. Solomon stated, that which was in the past will come to pass again.
Ecclesiastes
1:9—
That
which has already
been, will be yet again. That which has already
been done, is what will yet be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
The Last Days Work Named After Abel
Solomon clearly states a prophetic rule: that which was will be again. We have seen that The First House of Yahweh was established and stood on a site named after Abel. Therefore, as Solomon's prophetic rule shows, The House of Yahweh will again stand on a site named after Abel. This has come to pass as the prophets Isayah and Micahyah stated.
Isayah
2:2—
It
will come to pass, in
the last days that the mountain; promotion,
of The House of Yahweh will be established in the chief of
the nations...
Micahyah
4:17—
But in
the last days it
will come to pass that the mountain; promotion,
of The House of Yahweh will be established in the chief of
the nations...
These are the Last Days. In Mattithyah 24:22, Yahshua Messiah clearly stated that the Last Days would be a time when mankind would have the ability to totally annihilate themselves, and would, unless Yahweh intervenes. With the nuclear arsenals the United States and other nations possess, this time has clearly come.
In these Last Days, The House of Yahweh has been established in the top nation of all nations: The United States. Where, and on what site was this House of Yahweh established in these Last Days? In the city of Abilene, Texas, a city that was named after Abel according to these prophecies.
Melchizedek Priest of Yahweh, King of Peace
We find righteous genes in a man called Melchizedek. We do not know of whom he descended. There is no record of his descendants. We do have record of the fact that he was the great teacher of Abraham.
Genesis
14:18-20—
18
Then Melchizedek,
king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was
the priest of Yahweh Most High.
19
And he blessed him,
and said; Blessed be Abram by Yahweh Most High, Creator of heaven and
Earth;
20
And blessed be Yahweh Most
High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he; Abram,
gave him tithes of all.
Hebrews
7:1-6—
1 For
this Melchizedek,
king of Salem, priest of Yahweh Most High, met Abraham returning from
the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2 And
Abraham also gave
him a tenth part of all. First, his name being
translated means, King of Righteousness, and then
also king of Salem, meaning, King of Peace.
3
Melchizedek's father
and mother were not recorded in the genealogies; neither was the
beginning of his days, nor the end of his life—but he was a
representation of the Son of Yahweh, for the continuance of
the priesthood.
4 Now
consider how great this man
was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a
tenth of the plunder.
5 And
truly, those who
are of the sons of Levi, who received the office of the priesthood,
have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the
Law, which means: from their brothers, even though their
brothers are descended from Abraham.
6 But
this man whose
genealogy is not traced from Levi, received tithes from Abraham, and
blessed him who had the promises.
The 613 righteous Laws of Yahweh, taught to Abraham by the righteous Priest Melchizedek, was the power or strength that turned Abraham to righteousness.
Yahweh had recorded that Abraham kept and upheld, not just the Ten Commandments, but all of Yahweh's 613 Laws, statutes and judgments.
Genesis
26:5—
Because
Abraham obeyed
My voice, and kept My charge, My commandments, my statutes, and My Laws.
Abraham kept Yahweh's 613 Laws; therefore, Yahweh promised Abraham that He would use his descendants for a Work in a planned time period.
Righteous genes alone do not automatically make one righteous. However, righteous genes coupled with the teaching of Yahweh's Laws, can lead one to choose to convert to perfect righteousness. We find evidence of this in the seed or direct descendants of Abraham.
Yahweh has established this permanent record in mankind's history as proof to us and the courts of heaven. Yahweh also established a permanent record proving that righteous genes without consistent righteous leadership, teaching, guidance, or rulership can deteriorate to unrighteousness and evil.
Melchizedek And The Soon Coming Kingdom
In the prophecies which foretell the coming Savior, one fact is made perfectly clear, His position is after the order of righteousness only.
Psalm
110:4—
Yahweh
has vowed an oath, and
will not relent nor change His mind: You are a
priesthood forever after the order of Melchizedek.
Verse 4 shows that the High Priest must be after the order of Melchizedek.
The word order comes from the Hebrew word dibrah. Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon of the Old Testament, by Samuel Tregelles, page 188, shows this word to mean manner.
The character or manner of Melchizedek was recognized by Yahweh to be in His likeness. Yahweh testifies that the coming Savior and High Priest must be after the same order of Melchizedek. Let us see what Yahweh testifies concerning Melchizedek's righteousness.
Abraham was so great in righteousness that Yahweh made His covenant with him. Yahweh chose from the Seed of Abraham to bring forth His firstborn Son of the children of men.
Genesis
17:1-4,7—
1
When Abram was ninety-nine
years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him: I am
Almighty Yahweh; walk in My ways and be perfect.
2 And
I will make My
covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you
exceedingly.
3
Then Abram fell on his face,
and Yahweh talked with him, saying:
4 As
for Me, behold, My covenant
is with you, and you shall be the father of many nations.
7 I
will establish My covenant as
an everlasting covenant between Me, and you, and your descendants after
you, for all generations to come to be your Father and the Father of
your descendants after you.
Abraham was great in righteousness, but his teacher was even greater at that time. Yahweh had advanced Melchizedek further than Abraham at that time in the service of His Plan for a Kingdom of Priests.
Daniyl
2:44—
And
in the days of these kings, Yahweh
in heaven will appoint a kingdom of priests which
will never be destroyed, nor will the kingdom be left to
another people; but it will break in pieces and
consume all these kingdoms; and it will stand forever.
Melchizedek was a great Priest of Yahweh who taught the Laws of Yahweh to Abraham. Moreover, he was a king who used these Laws to bring peace to his kingdom.
Yahweh, in calling this man Melchizedek, actually testifies by the very meaning of his name that this man upheld the 613 Laws of Yahweh. The very definition of righteousness is keeping the 613 Laws and Melchizedek means righteousness.
Righteousness is keeping Yahweh's 613 Laws. There is no righteousness among the nations or in the religions today. They do not teach or practice these Laws. They do not qualify as being righteous.
Melchizedek is Hebrew word #4442 from word #4428 and word #6665 in the Hebrew Dictionary of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and means king of righteousness.
Melchizedek ruled as Yahweh, using the 613 Laws of Yahweh, to bring peace to his domain. Yahweh Himself testifies, "After the order of this righteous king, the Savior of the world must become.''
Hebrews
5:10—
Called
by Yahweh a High Priest after
the order of Melchizedek.
Righteousness was the requirement for Abraham's Seed to be blessed to carry the genes that would bring forth the Savior. Abraham's Seed was chosen not because of bloodline, but because righteousness was placed in the genes of the bloodline. Righteousness was the requirement for the Seed, the Savior. Again, not bloodline, but righteousness taught by the Savior's ancestry which was later accepted and practiced by the Savior. Righteousness is the requirement for all who will be chosen into this Kingdom of Priests.
Psalm
110:3-4—
3
Your people will have
proved themselves obedient to the Law on the day You go forth
in power. They will unite with You, arrayed in their holy garments.
Like the morning dew, they will completely cover the Earth, governing
with You.
4
Yahweh has vowed an oath, and
will not relent nor change His mind: You are a priesthood
forever after the order of Melchizedek.
The High Priest spoken of in Psalm 110:4 will be given rulership over the Kingdom of Priests spoken of in Daniyl 2:44. These are the same Priests spoken of in Psalm 110:3Genesis 26:5 who will have proven themselves obedient to the 613 Laws of Yahweh as Abraham did (). These are the true seed of Abraham, also called saints in Yechetzqyah 14:5, who will rule as Yahweh rules with Yahweh's 613 Laws of righteousness and peace.
All nations will be brought together under one Kingdom. After being taught these 613 Laws, they will soon turn from the hatred they have learned through the oral laws and traditions that have been added by the religions of the world. No longer will oral laws and traditions be allowed. No longer will people be separated. Therefore, they will never again learn war.
Isayah
2:3-4—
3 And
many people will go and
say; Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the House of
the Father of Yaaqob, and He will teach us of His ways, and
we will walk in His paths. For the Law will depart from Zion,
and the word of Yahweh will depart from Yerusalem.
4 He
will judge among
the nations, and will rebuke many people; they will
beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks;
nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn
war anymore.
Peace Forever!
The only time in recorded history that man has ever experienced complete peace in an entire nation was under King Solomon. At that time only the nation of Israyl had peace within itself and with its neighboring nations.
Yahweh had at that time brought the children of Israyl out of Egypt and trained them in the 613 Laws under Mosheh. Those who rebelled against those Laws died in the wars which were fought from the time of Yahshua ben Nun up through the reign of King David. Those left alive were fully trained in the practice of Yahweh's 613 Laws. King Solomon, a righteous king, was ordained to reign over them.
Solomon and all the Priests of Israyl were obedient to Yahweh's Laws during that time period. They taught and led the nation of Israyl in the 613 Laws of Yahweh.
The same government and Laws that led Israyl to peace in Solomon's day, will be used to bring peace to the Earth in the soon coming Kingdom under Yahshua the prophesied Savior.
Isayah
9:6-7—
6 For
unto us a Child is born,
unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His
shoulders. And His Name will be called the Wonder of the
Counselor, the Judge established by the Mighty Everlasting Father7the
Prince of Peace.
7 Of
the increase of His
government and peace there will be no
end; upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it, and to
establish it with judgment and with justice from that time and forever
after. The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will perform this.
The Prophet Daniyl was also inspired to write that this government would stand forever.
Daniyl
2:44—
And
in the days of these kings, Yahweh
in heaven will appoint a kingdom of priests which
will never be destroyed, nor will the kingdom be left to
another people; but it will break in pieces and
consume all these kingdoms; and it will stand forever.
Daniyl
7:18—
But the
saints of Yahweh
will take the kingdoms by force, and will possess the
kingdoms forever; yes, forever and ever.
Ruled forever with these 613 Laws of Peace, this Kingdom will experience peace forever. With Yahweh's judgments ruling the earth everyone will have full abundant life. There will be no fear of death, no stealing nor trespassing. Wars will become only a memory of what the breaking of Yahweh's Laws once brought to the earth and the universe.
