Those Who Sin Must Be Corrected
Leviticus
19:17—
You shall not hate your neighbor
in your heart. Rebuke your brother or your sister frankly, so you will
not share in his or her guilt.
This one simple command shows us a big part of how Yahweh's plan is carried out. Remember, Yahweh's plan is to create a family of beings in His likeness, having His same perfect character.
Genesis
1:26-27—
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.
27 So Yahweh created man in
His own image. In the image of Yahweh He
created the man. Then He created the woman from the man.
Isayah
2:4—
He will judge among
the nations,
and will rebuke
many people;
they will beat their
swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks; nation will
not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore.
I Kepha 4:17—
For the time has come
that judgment must begin at The House of Yahweh; and if it first begins
with us, what will the end be of those who do not obey the message of
Yahweh?
Yechetzqyah
44:23-24—
23 And they will teach My people the
difference between the holy and profane, and show them how to
distinguish between the unclean and the clean.
24 In a controversy they will stand
in judgment; and they will judge it according to My
judgments. They will keep My Laws and My statutes for all My appointed
Feasts, and they will keep My Sabbaths holy.
This plan of bringing mankind to perfection is carried out through the process of correction. The family who Yahweh is creating did not start out as perfect. Yahweh calls out those He chooses from mankind and brings them to perfection through the Law of correction. By pointing out man's sins and teaching them to overcome all sins, Yahweh shows His great love for His people, desiring for them to become His family. This is why Solomon wrote that rebuke, reproof, and correction are the way to life.
Proverbs 6:23—
For the commandments are a lamp,
the Law is light, and reproofs of instruction are the way to life.
In every time period that Yahweh called out a people to qualify them for His family, He first established His House to teach His people His Law. He is doing the same in these Last Days.
Isayah 2:2-5—
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, and will be raised
above all congregations; and all nations will eventually flow
to it.
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 pruninghooks;
nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn
war anymore.
5 O house of Yaaqob, come and let
us walk in the light of Yahweh.
Each time Yahweh had a Work, He first sent His prophesied servant to begin the work of correcting those He called out by preaching and teaching His Laws.
Amosyah 3:7—
Most assuredly Father Yahweh will
have no work, other than the work that He has prophesied in advance by
His servants the prophets.
Romans
10:13-15—
13 For Whoever calls
with the
Name of Yahweh will be saved.
14 How, then, can
they call upon
Him in Whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in Him,
of Whom they had not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?
15 And how can they
preach, unless they are sent? As it is written: How
beautiful
are the feet of those who preach the message of peace, who bring glad
tidings of righteous things.
Yahweh commands His priests to teach the people His Laws and to correct sin. He then commands all those He calls out to go to The House of Yahweh, His established Work, and seek the Law at the lips of the priests. Without the teaching of Yahweh's Laws, there can be no knowledge of what sin is and thus, no correction of sin.
Deuteronomy
12:5—
But you are to seek the
habitation of your Father; The House of Yahweh__the
place which
Yahweh your Father shall choose out of all
your tribes to establish His Name__and
there you must go.
Deuteronomy
17:9—
Go to the priests,
who are Levites, and to the judge who is in office at that time. Ask
for their decision, and they will give you the sentence of judgment.
Malakyah 2:7—
For the priest's lips
should keep knowledge, and they should seek the Law at his
mouth; for he is the messenger of Yahweh of hosts.
Deuteronomy
6:1,7—
1 Now these are the Laws, the
statutes, and the judgments which Yahweh your Father commanded me to
teach, so that you may observe them in the land you are crossing over
to possess;
7 And you must teach
them diligently to your children, and talk about them when
you sit in your house, and when you walk on the road, and when you lie
down, and when you rise up.
Isayah 58:1—
Cry aloud, spare not; lift up
your voice like a trumpet, and show My people their
transgressions, and the house of Yaaqob their sins.
Romans 7:7—
What? Can anyone therefore say
that the Law is sin? No! By no means! But to the contrary, I
did not know sin; transgression of the Law, except
through the Law, for I did not know lust, unless the Law had
said: Do not covet.
Unless Yahweh establishes His House to teach His Laws, there simply can be no correction. The first part of Leviticus 19:17 says you shall not hate your neighbor in your heart. Yahweh says that He chastises and rebukes those He loves. Therefore, the establishment of The House of Yahweh is a great act of love on behalf of Yahweh.
Revelation
3:19—
As many as I love, I
prove and
chasten. Be zealous, therefore, and repent.
Without the correction that comes from The House of Yahweh, there would be no hope of eternal life, nor any hope of completing Yahweh's Plan of salvation for anyone. There would only be death for all mankind, who would die in their sins. In order for one to be forgiven for his sins, there must first be repentance for sin. In order for there to be repentance, a person must be rebuked; that is, he must be shown where and how he has transgressed Yahweh's Laws; and he must be taught how to overcome his sins and be given the opportunity to do so.
In addition to rebuking, correcting, and teaching His people to repent of their sins, Yahweh also commands His House to rebuke and warn all mankind of the curses their sins bring.
Yahshua Messiah spoke about this, saying that in these Last Days the message would be preached and published to all nations by the one who bears witness—The House of Yahweh—rebuking and correcting all men before the end would come. This is exactly what The House of Yahweh has done ever since it was re-established according to prophecy.
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.
Yahchanan Mark
13:10—
But the message must first be
published throughout all nations.
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,
and will be raised above all congregations; and all nations will eventually
flow to it.
The fact is, this Work—The Peaceful Solution—is done in obedience to this very Law. By publishing this series of volumes, The House of Yahweh is rebuking, reproving, convincing, reasoning with, pleading with, and correcting all of humanity for the sins they have committed. To be involved in this life-saving Work is a great act of loving your neighbor as yourself.
In this Law, those who sin would refer to anyone who breaks the Laws of Yahweh. This means any man, woman, or child, whether rich or poor, foolish or wise, native or stranger. Yahweh is not a respecter of persons. If one chooses to break the Laws of Yahweh, that person would qualify as one who needs to be corrected.
Romans 2:11—
For there is no respect of
persons with Yahweh.
Colossians
3:25—
But he who does wrong will
receive the reward for the
wrong he has done; and there is no respect of persons for him.
As this Law states, The House of Yahweh is to correct any individual who sins. Sin is the transgression of the Law.
I Yahchanan
3:4—
Whoever commits sin, transgresses
also the Law; for sin is the transgression of
the Law.
lA violation of a Law, command, or duty, is part of the definition of the word transgression. This word also means exceeding due bounds or limits.
When one sins, they violate the Laws of Yahweh by overstepping the proper bounds and limits that Yahweh has placed within His Laws.
Every man, woman, and child who has been taught Yahweh's Laws can observe this Law that is designed to show great love towards our fellow man. This is done by always setting a righteous example of complete obedience to what The House of Yahweh teaches. Now keep in mind that not everyone is in a position to approach anyone in order to correct them. In fact, this job is given to The House of Yahweh not to each individual to act on his own authority. Each of Yahweh's Laws works as a unit with the other Laws. The Law of ownership, which applies to people, must also be kept. However, everyone in Yahweh's House does have access to the priests and the Counselors in order to report sin. In this way, they will be correcting sin.
Leviticus 5:1—
If a person sins because he does
not speak up when he hears a public charge, to testify regarding
something he has seen, or knows about: he will be held responsible.
If one witnessed an individual or group of individuals sinning and did not correct them, if they are in the position to do so, or report them to the priests who are charged with correcting the people, that person would not be keeping this Law.
When we correct those who sin we show them that we have great love for them. Yahweh Himself has given us the perfect example to follow. The inspired Holy Scriptures speak of the love Yahweh has for those whom He chastens and corrects.
Proverbs
3:11-12—
11 My son, do not despise the
chastening of Yahweh, nor resent His correction;
12 For whom Yahweh
loves He corrects, just as a father corrects the
son he delights in.
Revelation
3:19—
As many as I love, I prove and
chasten. Be zealous, therefore, and repent.
It is because of Yahweh's love for humanity that He chastens those who sin. He desires that everyone would look to His perfect Laws for guidance in righteous living and learn to humbly accept correction.
Hebrews
12:5-11—
5 And you have
forgotten the
exhortation which speaks to you as unto sons: My son, do not despise
the chastening of Yahweh, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by
Him;
6 For whom Yahweh
loves, He
chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives.
7 If you endure
chastening,
Yahweh deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father
does not chasten?
8 But if you are
without
chastening, of which all are partakers, then you are bastards and not
sons.
9 Furthermore, we
have had
fleshly fathers who corrected us, and we gave them reverence; should we
not even more be subject to Father Yahweh, and live?
10 For they truly
chastened us
for a few days as they thought best; but He, for our profit,
that we might be partakers of His holiness.
11 Now no chastening
seems to be
joyful at the present time,
but
grievous;
nevertheless, afterward it produces the peaceable fruit of
righteousness, that
is, for
those who have been
trained by it.
Psalm
94:12-15—
12 Blessed is the man whom You
discipline and instruct, O Yahweh, and teach out of Your Law;
13 So You may make him rest; cause
him to escape, from the days of trouble, until the pit is
dug for the wicked.
14 For Yahweh will not cast off
His people, nor will He forsake His inheritance;
15 But justice will return to the
ways of righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
When one performs this Law, by correcting or reporting sin, they are taking on the very likeness of Yahweh. By correcting those who sin we are not only showing Yahweh we have great love for Him and His Laws, but we are also showing great love for the ones who we turn from their sin. In order to fulfill this Law, we must have love for one another, just like Yahweh loves us.
I Yahchanan
3:10-11,18—
10 In this the children of Yahweh
and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice
righteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not
love his neighbor!
11 For this is the message that
you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
18 My little children, let us not
love in words, neither in speech, but in deed and truth;
I Yahchanan
5:2—
By this we know that we love the
children of Yahweh: When we love Yahweh by keeping His Laws.
Romans
13:8-10—
8 Owe no man anything, except to
love one another, for he who loves ano-ther has per formed the Law.
9 For the commandments: You shall
not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You
shall not bring false testimony, You shall not covet, and all other
commandments are briefly summed up in these Laws; namely: You must love
your neighbor as yourself.
10 Love works no harm to his
neighbor; therefore, love the performing of the Law.
As we just read, love works no harm to his neighbor. By performing this Law you actually turn others away from the harm that sin brings. None of Yahweh's Laws will ever bring pain, misery, or suffering to those who uphold them. They will however, bring peace, joy, and abundant living when they are kept exactly as Yahweh commands.
Proverbs
3:1-2—
1 My son, do not forget my Law,
but take my instructions to heart;
2 For length of days, and long
life, and peace, they will add to you.
Reading about this Law in the following scriptures, we find that if anyone sins in any way, he doesn't have to be aware of the fact that he has sinned for him to be guilty.
Leviticus
4:13—
Now if the whole congregation of
Israyl sins ignorantly, and does what is forbidden
in any of Yahweh's Laws; though the congregation
is unaware of this sin: they are still
guilty.
Leviticus
4:22—
When a ruler sins ignorantly, and
does what is forbidden in any of the Laws of Yahweh our Father: he is
guilty.
Leviticus
4:27—
If any other member of the
congregation sins ignorantly, and does what is forbidden in any of
Yahweh's Laws: he is still guilty.
Leviticus
5:2-5—
2 Or if a person touches any
unclean thing, whether the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass
of unclean live-stock, or the carcass of an unclean creeping thing;
even though he is unaware of it: he has become unclean, and is guilty;
3 Or if he touches human
unclean-ness, anything that would make a man defiled; even though he is
unaware of it, when he learns of it: he will be guilty;
4 Or if a person vows an oath,
speaking thoughtlessly by his mouth, to do evil or to do well, whatever
that a man may pronounce by an oath, even though he is unaware of it,
when he learns of it: he will be guilty.
5 When anyone
is guilty in any of these matters, he shall confess he has sinned in
that thing.
Leviticus
5:17—
If anyone sins, and commits any
of these things which are forbidden to be done by the Laws of Yahweh,
though he does not know it, yet he is guilty, and
shall bear his iniquity.
In each passage from Leviticus Chapters 4 & 5, the people who sinned, though ignorantly, were still guilty. Everyone has sinned and is guilty; therefore, all are under the death sentence.
Romans 3:23—
For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of Yahweh.
Romans 6:23—
For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of Yahweh is eternal life through
Yahshua Messiah, our Savior.
It's like a very young child putting a paper clip into an electrical outlet. Even though the child is ignorant of the harm that could come to him, he can still be killed in an instant; this doesn't stop the curse from coming.
Any loving parent would warn and rebuke a child who got close to shocking himself. In the same way, Yahweh has established His House, setting teachers over us to teach us to obey His Laws and to rebuke and warn us of the curses for sin. Whenever a Law of Yahweh is broken, whether the person knows it or not, a chain of events has been set in motion. We don't have to know that there is a law of gravity for that law to have its effect upon us. If we step out of a window, the law of gravity will have the effect of pulling us to the ground.
Every Law of Yahweh has an effect that applies to keeping or breaking that Law that will be carried out in the life of him who keeps or breaks it. This Law, commanding that those who break the Laws of Yahweh be rebuked, is set for the purpose of removing the blinders so that we can see where we are going, and what effects our actions will have in our lives and the lives of others.
How does the House of Yahweh go about correcting an individual when he is caught in sin? Yahweh instructs us on how one should be corrected.
Leviticus
19:17—
You shall not hate your neighbor
in your heart. Rebuke your brother or your sister
frankly, so you will not share in his or her
guilt.
n The American Heritage Dictionary shows that the word frankly means frank manner, candidly, in truth; honestly. Frankly comes from the root word frank, which means open and sincere in expression; straightforward, clearly manifest; evident.
Yahweh is instructing those who will perform this Law to rebuke (or correct) those who sin in an open and straightforward manner—making their sin clearly manifest and evident to them.
Proverbs 27:5—
Open rebuke is better than
concealed love.
Correction should always be done honestly, with love and with truth. Truth is the 613 Laws of Yahweh. Yahweh's complete body of Law is the truth which one uses to correct those who sin. Only by using this truth will one be able to point out to another the transgression which is being committed. The House of Yahweh corrects those who sin by preaching and publishing Yahweh's Laws, showing the curses that result from breaking Yahweh's Law.
Psalm 119:142—
Your righteousness is an
everlasting righteousness, because Your Law is the truth!
Psalm 119:151—
You are near, O Yahweh, and all
Your Laws are truth!
Yahchanan
17:17—
Sanctify them through Your Law;
Your Law is truth.
When the House of Yahweh keeps this Law by correcting those who sin we are turning them back to Yahweh and away from the sin that was being committed. They would be saved from the destructive path they were on.
Proverbs
11:19—
As righteousness
leads to life,
so he who pursues evil is headed toward his own death.
One way we keep this Law is by teaching our children diligently, as we are commanded. A child who is not corrected or taught is a child not loved by his parents. In order for correction to be effective, it must be applied in love and with much patience.
Deuteronomy
6:7—
And you must teach them
diligently to your children, and talk about them when you sit in your
house, and when you walk on the road, and when you lie down, and when
you rise up.
Proverbs
13:24—
He who spares the rod hates his
son, but he who loves him disciplines him promptly.
Teaching includes rebuke and correction. The most effective teacher is a righteous example, this is exactly how the Savior, Yahshua Messiah, taught His disciples and all of the called out ones—by His righteous example.
Yahchanan
13:15—
For I have given you an example,
that you do as I have done for you.
Yahshua Messiah gave us the first step in obeying this Law. He said that we are to go to an individual who has sinned and prove his guilt to him privately by pointing out the teachings of The House of Yahweh. This can even be accomplished by the simple act of asking a question. "Is what you're doing according to the teachings of The House of Yahweh?"
Mattithyah
18:15-17—
15 Moreover, if a brother among
you sins, go and prove his guilt to him__privately
between you and him. If he listens to you, you have gained your
brother.
16 But if he will not listen, then
take one or two more with you, so that in the mouth of
two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 Then if he refuses to listen
to them, report this to the called out ones. But if he refuses to
listen to the called out ones, let him be considered by all
of you as a heathen and a publican.
Keep in mind that, contrary to what the world teaches, Yahshua never taught the breaking of any of Yahweh's Laws. Yahshua never taught that one may trespass or usurp authority in order to correct someone. If you do this then you, too, will be in need of correction. It's never a wrong choice to go to the priests or the counselors.
Deuteronomy
17:9—
Go to the priests, who are
Levites, and to the judge who is in office at that time. Ask for their
decision, and they will give you the sentence of judgment.
Leviticus 5:1—
If a person sins because he does
not speak up when he hears a public charge, to testify regarding
something he has seen, or knows about: he will be held responsible.
If the individual will not listen to the sound teaching of The House of Yahweh he should be reported to the counselors who will attempt to turn this individual away from his sin through counseling and preaching.
The Elders and teachers are obligated to correct all forms of sin through preaching. This is so that we may be warned against doing the same thing.
II Timothy
4:1-2—
1 Therefore, I charge you
before Yahweh, and Yahshua Messiah Who will sentence who
is to live and who is to die at His
appearing and His Kingdom:
2 Preach the word;
the Law and the Prophets! Be instant; ready
to take your positions in season, out of season. Reprove,
rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
I Timothy
5:20—
Those who sin, rebuke in the
presence of all, so that the rest also may fear.
I Corinthians
1:21—
For when the world, with all its
earthly wisdom, failed to know Yahweh, it pleased Yahweh by
the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.
Deuteronomy
17:8-13—
8 If a case comes up which is too
difficult for you to judge; whether bloodshed, lawsuits, or assaults,
then you shall take it to the place Yahweh your Father will choose.
9 Go to the priests,
who are Levites, and to the judge who is in office at that time. Ask
for their decision, and they will give you the sentence of judgment.
10 You must act according to the
sentence they pronounce for you at the place Yahweh chooses. Be
careful to do all they order you to do.
11 According to the Law
they teach you, you shall do, and according to the decisions
they give you, you shall do. You must not turn aside to the right hand
nor to the left from the sentence they pronounce for you.
12 The man who acts
presump-tuously, and shows contempt for the priest who stands to
minister in front of Yahweh your Father, or for the judge, that man
must be put to death. In this way you will purge the evil from Israyl.
13 Then all the people shall hear
of it and will be afraid, and no one will ever act
contemptuously again.
Deuteronomy
21:18-21—
18 If a man has a stubborn
and rebellious son who will not obey his father or his
mother, and will not listen to them, even after they have disciplined
him,
19 Then his father and his mother
will take him out to the elders in the gate of his
city,
20 And they shall say to the
elders of his city; This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He
will not obey us. He is living riotously, and is a drunkard.
21 Then all the men of his city
shall stone him to death with stones. In this way you must purge the
evil from among you. All Israyl will then hear of it, and be afraid.
History shows that mankind is stubborn and rebellious, not willing to accept rebuke that is given to them. We are told repeatedly that those who are carnally minded don't like to be rebuked, and hate the ones who rebuke them.
Amosyah 5:10—
They hate him that reproves in
the gate; they abhor him that speaks uprightly.
Proverbs
5:12-14—
12 And
you will say: How I hated instruction! How my mind resented
rebuke and warning!
13 I would not obey my teachers,
nor listen to those who instructed me!
14 Now I am on the verge of total
ruin, in the midst of the congregation and the assembly!
Proverbs
1:20-33—
20 Wisdom calls aloud in the
street; she raises her voice in the open squares.
21 She cries out in the chief
concourses; on the tops of the walls, at
the entrances of the city gates, she speaks her words,
22 Proclaiming:
How long, you simple ones; untutored, will
you love simplicity; ignorance? How long will you
scorners delight in your insolent scoffing
and mocking? How long will you fools; those who turn
from the right way, hate
knowledge?
23 If you would turn
at my rebuke and warning, I; Wisdom, would pour out
my spirit upon you; I would make you understand my words.
24 But since I have
called, and
you refused; since I have
stretched out my hands, but no man paid attention to it;
25 Since you think
nothing of my
counsel; advice,
and would
accept none of my
rebuke and warning—
26 In turn I will
scoff at your
calamity. I will mock when terror comes upon you;
27 When fear comes
upon you like
a storm, when destruction comes upon you like a whirlwind, when
distress and anguish come upon you.
28 Then they will
call on me; Wisdom,
but I will
not answer. They will seek me diligently,
but they will not find me—
29 Because they hated
knowledge,
and did not choose to give reverence to Yahweh!
30 Since they
would have none of my counsel, and despised all my rebuke and warning;
31 They will eat the
fruit of
their own ways, and be completely idled with their own devices.
32 The turning away
of the
simple; ignorant
and untutored, will
be the death
of them, and the complacency of self-confident fools
will be the destruction of them;
33 But whoever
listens to me; Wisdom,
will live in safety, and will be
secure, without fear of destruction.
Yahshua Messiah said that the world hated Him because He rebuked the people for their evil works—their sins.
Yahchanan 7:7—
The world cannot hate
you; but it
hates Me because of the testimony I bring against it: that its works
are evil.
King Solomon wrote that we can take comfort in the knowledge that not everyone will hate being told they are wrong. The wise will be thankful for the correction and love of those who bring it.
Proverbs
9:7-9—
7 Wisdom says: One
who admonishes a scoffer receives insults for his
care. One
who rebukes a wicked man
receives abuse.
8 Reprove a scoffer,
and he will
hate you. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction; advice,
to a wise
man, and he will be yet wiser. Teach a just
man, and he will add to his learning.
If one is striving to live righteously, he will appreciate someone correcting him.
Proverbs
17:10—
A word of rebuke affects a wise
man more than a hundred lashes on the back of a fool.
Proverbs
28:23—
He who rebukes a man will find
more honor afterwards than he who flatters with the tongue.
Yahweh commands the House of Yahweh to continue to bring warning and correction despite the fact that there will be those who will not accept it.
Yechetzqyah
2:3-8—
3 And He said to me:
Son of man,
I send you to the children of Israyl, to the rebellious nations that
have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed
against Me to this very day.
4 For they are
impudent; insolent,
and
stubborn children. I am
sending you to them, and you will say to them; This is what Yahweh
says!
5 And they__whether
they will listen or whether they will not, for they are a rebellious; disobedient,
house__will
yet know that there has been a prophet among them.
6 And you, son of
man, do not be
afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words; though briers and thorns
are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their
words, nor be dismayed; broken down in discouragement
or
fear, by
their looks; anger,
for they
are a rebellious house.
7 But you will speak
My words; the
Law and the Prophets, to
them, whether they will listen or
whether they will not, for they are most
rebellious.
8 But you, son of
man, listen to
what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house;
open your mouth and eat what I give you.
In the following verses, the writer shows great remorse for the sins he has committed. He begs His Heavenly Father for forgiveness and for His mercy to be applied with His rebuke.
Psalm 38:18,
21-22—
18 We will declare our
iniquities!
We are in
deep anguish because of our
sins!
21 Forsake us not O
Yahweh! Be
not far from us, our Heavenly Father!
22 Make haste to help
us, O
Yahweh our salvation!
The Psalmist expresses strong abhorrence of sin, true humility of spirit, and heartfelt sincerity in striving to live righteously. The Psalmist compares the rebuke of a righteous man to excellent oil to the head. By the humble acceptance of correction and repentance, the recipient will surely be forgiven and restored to Yahweh our Heavenly Father.
Psalm 141:1-5—
1 Yahweh, we call You with Your
Name; hasten to us! Give ear to our voice, as we call upon You!
2 May our prayers be set before
You like incense. May the lifting up of our hands be like the evening
sacrifice.
3 Set a guard over our mouths, O
Yahweh. Keep watch over the doors of our lips.
4 Do not let our hearts be
inclined to an evil word, to practice wickedness with those who work
iniquity. Do not let us eat of their dainties; do not let us
practice those examples!
5 Let a righteous man
strike us; it will be a kindness. Let a righteous man reprove; rebuke
and correct, us; it will be like excellent oil for the head.
Oh, do not let our heads refuse it, for our prayers will ascend because
of these injuries.
Finally, in our explanation of this Law, we must discuss the phrase, "so you will not share in his guilt." The word share includes the meanings of to participate in, to have a share or part, experience jointly with others. If one would deliberately choose not to correct those who sin, then that individual would actually be participating in the sin which was being committed. By not correcting sin one is telling Yahweh they agree with the sin that is being practiced. This individual would be just as guilty as the person who committed the sin to begin with.
Leviticus
19:17—
You shall not hate your neighbor
in your heart. Rebuke your brother or your sister
frankly, so you will not share in his or her
guilt.
I Timothy
5:22—
Do not lay hands
suddenly on any
man; neither
be a partaker in another man's sins—keep
yourself pure.
Those who fail to report sins they witness or have knowledge of to the priests or counselors are just as guilty as the one who commits these acts. Reporting sin to the counselors is a chief part of correcting sin.
Yahweh instructed the Prophet Yechetzqyah concerning the duty of The House of Yahweh, working together as a body, to give warning to those who sin. Remember, it is the job of the priests to teach, correct and rebuke the entire congregation. Yahweh said that we would be held responsible for the sinner's death if we failed to warn him.
Leviticus 5:1—
If a person sins because he does
not speak up when he hears a public charge, to testify regarding
something he has seen, or knows about: he will be held responsible;
II Yahchanan
1:9-11—
9 Whoever transgresses, and does
not abide in the doctrine of the Messiah, does not have Yahweh. He who
abides in the doctrine of the Messiah, has both the Father and the Son.
10 If anyone comes to you, and
does not bring this doctrine, do not accept him into The House of
Yahweh there, nor welcome him;
11 For he who welcomes him is a
partaker of his evil deeds.
Yechetzqyah
3:17-21—
17 Son of man, I have made you a
watchman for the house of Israyl; therefore, hear the word from My
mouth, and give them warning from Me.
18 When I say to the
wicked: You will surely die; and you give him no warning, nor speak to
warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked
man will die in his
iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
19 Yet, if you warn the wicked,
and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he
will die in his iniquity; but you will have delivered your own life.
20 Again, when a righteous man
turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, then
I will lay a stumblingblock before him and he will die; because you did
not give him warning, he will die in his sin, and his righteousness
which he has done will not be remembered; but his blood will I require
at your hand.
21 Nevertheless, if you warn the
righteous man that the righteous should not sin,
and he does not sin, he will surely live because he took warning; and
you will have delivered your own life.
Yechetzqyah
33:2-9—
2 Son of man, speak
to the
children of your people; your own countrymen, and
say to them: When I bring the sword upon a land, and take unto Myself
one man from all the people of the land, and set him as a watchman for
them,
3 When he sees the
sword coming
upon the land, if he blows the trumpet; shofar, and
warns the people;
4 Then whoever hears
the sound of
the trumpet, but does not heed the warning, if the sword comes and
takes him away, his blood will be on his own head:
5 He heard the sound
of the
trumpet but did not heed the warning; his blood will be upon himself.
But he who heeds the warning will deliver his life.
6 However, if the
watchman sees the sword coming, but does not blow the trumpet; shofar,
and the people are not warned, if the sword comes and
takes any person from among them, he is taken away
in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
7 So you, O son of
man, have I
set as a watchman for the house of Israyl. Therefore, you will hear the
word; the
Law and the Prophets,
at My mouth, and
warn them from Me.
8 When I say to the
wicked: O
wicked man, you will surely die! And if
you do not
speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will
die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
9 Nevertheless, if
you warn the
wicked to turn from his wicked way, and he does not turn from his way,
he will die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your own life.
As we stated earlier, if someone were to know of an individual or group of individuals who were breaking the Laws of Yahweh, thereby sinning, and he fails to correct them, as this Law states, by reporting it to the priests or counselors, he would be guilty of breaking this Law. Breaking this Law would not be the only thing he would be guilty of. He would also be guilty of failing to rescue those who were being led into sin.
Proverbs
24:11-12—
11 If you
choose not to rescue those who are being drawn into death: those who
are stumbling to the slaughter;
12 If you say: Look,
we knew
nothing of this! Does not He who weighs the heart notice this? Does not
He who guards your life know it? Will He not repay every man for the
works he has done?
The blood of those who died as a result of breaking Yahweh's Laws would be upon the hands of the individual who chose not to correct these people for their sin, by reporting it to the priests or counselors. This individual would have to answer for their death, because he did not correct them, thus warning them of the evil path they were on.
Yechetzqyah
33:7-8—
7 So you, O son of man, have I
set as a watchman for the house of Israyl. Therefore, you will hear the
word; the Law and the Prophets, at My mouth, and
warn them from Me.
8 When I say to the wicked: O
wicked man, you will surely die! And if
you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked
man will die in his iniquity; but his
blood will I require at your hand.
Yechetzqyah 3:18,
20—
18 When the righteous
turns from
his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he will die because of it.
20 Again, when a
righteous man
turns from
his righteousness and commits iniquity, then
I will lay a stumblingblock before him and he will die; because
you did not give him warning, he will die in his sin, and
his
righteousness which he has done will not be remembered; but his
blood will I require at your hand.
When this Law is kept perfectly one is able to spare the lives of others according to the Holy Scriptures. The attempt to turn those who sin back to Yahweh demonstrates the great love one has towards all mankind. This in turn will prove to Yahweh the amount of love one has for Yahweh's Laws and His creation. The person who properly keeps this Law will have delivered his own life.
Yechetzqyah
33:9—
Nevertheless, if you warn the
wicked to turn from his wicked way, and he does not turn from his way,
he will die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your own life.
Yechetzqyah 3:19,
21—
19 Yet, if you warn the wicked,
and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he
will die in his iniquity; but you will have delivered your own life.
21 Nevertheless, if you warn the
righteous man that the righteous should not sin,
and he does not sin, he will surely live because he took warning; and
you will have delivered your own life.
II Chronicles
19:10—
Whatever case comes before you
from your brothers who live in your cities, whether bloodshed or
various offenses against Law or commandment, against statutes or
ordinances, you are to warn them not to trespass against Yahweh, or His
wrath will come upon you, as well as your brother. However, if you warn
them, you will be guiltless.
Solomon was inspired to write that one who rebukes frankly makes peace.
Proverbs
10:10—
He who winks with his
eye;
a gesture among accomplices in malice and guilt, causes
trouble, but one who rebukes frankly makes peace.
Yahshua Messiah said in Mattithyah 5:9, "Blessed are the peacemakers; for they will be called the sons of Yahweh." He could just as well have said: Blessed are those who rebuke frankly; for they will be called the sons of Yahweh.
Examples Of Keeping Or Breaking This Law Taken From The Holy Scriptures
The Prophet Yeremyah was inspired to write that Yahweh had repeatedly sent His servants the prophets to warn the people and to rebuke them, that they might turn from the evil of their ways—but they would not listen to Yahweh's prophets. They are not listening to this very day!
Yeremyah
35:15—
I
have also sent all My servants
the prophets to you, rising up early and sending them, saying;
Turn, now, every one of you from your evil way, and amend your doings,
and do not go after hinder gods (elohim) to serve them; then you will
live in the land which I have given you and your fathers. But you have
not inclined your ear; paid any attention, nor
listened to Me.
Yahweh teaches us from the beginning that sin must be corrected.
Genesis
4:3-5—
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;
5 But
He did not honor Cain and
his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
Cain did not offer his sacrifice to Yahweh correctly; nor did he offer it willingly and joyfully. Therefore, Yahweh rejected Cain's sacrifice and rebuked him. Notice the correction He gave to Cain. He said that righteousness makes one acceptable and that sin must be overcome. Not only do we see sin being corrected in this example, we also see how to correct. Yahweh lovingly corrected Cain by showing him the error of his way and then telling him how to correct this error.
Genesis
4:6-7—
6 So
Yahweh said to Cain: Why are
you angry? Why are you downcast?
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!
After Shaul was made King of Israyl, he was given a charge to fulfill a promise that Yahweh made when He was bringing the children of Israyl out of Egypt. It had come to pass in those days that the Amalekites came out to make war against Israyl. This battle is recorded in Exodus, and there it is written that Yahweh will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
Exodus
17:8,14—
8
Then the Amalekites came and
fought with Israyl at Rephidim.
14
Then Yahweh said to Mosheh:
Write this on a scroll as a memorial; something to be
remembered,
and rehearse it in the
hearing of Yahshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of
Amalek from under heaven.
Yahweh sent the prophet Samuyl to speak with King Shaul, and Samuyl said to Shaul that he was to attack the Amalekites and utterly destroy all that they had.
I
Samuyl
15:1-3—
1
Samuyl said
to Shaul; Yahweh sent me to anoint you king over His people Israyl; so
listen now to these words from Yahweh.
2
This is what Yahweh Almighty
says: I will punish what Amalek did to Israyl when they ambushed them
as they came up from Egypt.
3 Now
go, attack the Amalekites
and utterly destroy; cherem, all that they have.
Do not spare them. Kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child,
ox, sheep, camel, and donkey!
The next scriptures reveal that King Shaul had not obeyed what Yahweh commanded through Samuyl, by having brought back captives and livestock. We see that Samuyl went to Shaul to rebuke him for having failed to carry out the command of Yahweh; in effect, Shaul sinned. Instead of sincerely repenting, Shaul attempted to justify himself; he even blamed others for his failing. Samuyl told Shaul at that time that because he had rejected the command of Yahweh, Yahweh had rejected him from being king over His people Israyl. Notice that not only did Samuyl correct Shaul, he also told him that his sin cost him his position as king. There are always consequences for sin.
I
Samuyl
15:7-26—
7
Then Shaul attacked the
Amalekites all the way from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt.
8 He
took Agag king of
the Amalekites alive,
but utterly destroyed; cherem,
all the
other people with the sword.
9 But
Shaul and
his men
spared Agag, along with the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings,
the lambs—everything that was of
superior
quality they
were unwilling to utterly destroy; cherem. However,
everything despised and weak, that they utterly destroyed; cherem.
10
Then the word of Yahweh came
to Samuyl, saying:
11 I
am deeply grieved that I
have made Shaul king, for he has turned away from following Me, and has
not performed My commandments. This also grieved Samuyl, and he cried
out to Yahweh all night.
12
When Samuyl rose early the
next morning to meet with Shaul, it was told Samuyl, saying; Shaul went
to Carmel. There he has set up a monument in his own honor, and he has
turned and gone on down to Gilgal.
13
Then Samuyl went to Shaul, and
Shaul said to him; Blessed are you of Yahweh! I have performed the
commandment of Yahweh.
14
But Samuyl said; What, then,
is this bleating of sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which
I hear?
15
And Shaul said; They have
brought them from the Amalekites, because the people spared the best of
the sheep and the oxen, to sacrifice to Yahweh your Father. The rest we
have utterly destroyed; cherem.
16
Then Samuyl said to Shaul;
Cease speaking! Then I will tell you what Yahweh said to me last night.
And he said to him; Speak on.
17 So
Samuyl said; When you were
small in your own eyes, were you not the head of the tribes in Israyl?
Did not Yahweh anoint you king over all Israyl?
18
Now Yahweh sent you on a
mission, and said: Go, and utterly destroy; cherem, those
sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are
consumed.
19
Why, then, did you not
obey the voice of Yahweh? Why did you pounce upon the
plunder,
and do evil in the sight of Yahweh?
20
Then Shaul said to Samuyl; But
I have obeyed the voice of Yahweh. I went on the
mission which Yahweh sent me on, and I brought back Agag king of
Amalek. I have utterly destroyed; cherem, the
Amalekites.
21
But the people took the
plunder, sheep and oxen, and the best of the things which should have
been utterly destroyed; cherem, to sacrifice to
Yahweh your Father in Gilgal.
22
Then Samuyl said; Has Yahweh
as great a delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the
voice of Yahweh? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to
listen than the fat of rams.
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.
24
Then Shaul said to Samuyl; I
have sinned, because I have transgressed the commandment of Yahweh and
your words; because I was more afraid of the people and I gave in to
them.
25
Now, please pardon my sin, and
return with me, so I may worship Yahweh.
26
But Samuyl said to Shaul; I
will not return with you, because you have rejected the word of Yahweh,
and Yahweh has rejected you from being king over Israyl.
There are many examples of Yahshua rebuking the religious leaders of His time for their hypocrisy. Instead of teaching Yahweh's Laws to the people, they twisted the Laws, even to their own destruction, and made the Laws a burden.
Mattithyah
23:1-36—
1
Then Yahshua spoke to the
multitudes and to His disciples,
2
Saying: The scribes
and the Pharisees are appointed to Mosheh's office; teachers
of Yahweh's Law,
3
Therefore, obey and practice
everything they tell you to observe, but do not imitate their works;
for they preach but they do not practice!
4 For
they tie up
heavy
burdens, hard to be carried, and lay them upon
men's shoulders,
but they
themselves would
not lift a finger to move them.
5 But
all the works they do are
practiced
to be seen by men. They widen their phylacteries,
and lengthen the tzitzit on their tallits.
6
They love the best places at
feasts, the front seats in the synagogues,
7
Being greeted in the markets,
and being called by men; Rabbi! Rabbi!
8 But
you are not to be called
Rabbi; for One is the Great One over you, and that is Messiah,
and all of you are brothers.
9 And
you must not pray to or
worship any man
on earth as
a "Father," for you
have only One Father, Who is in heaven.
10
And do not be called rulers,
for One under Yahweh is your
Ruler__the Messiah.
11
But he who is greatest among
you will be your servant.
12
Whoever will exalt himself
will be abased, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
13
But woe to
you,
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You shut the
door of the Kingdom of Yahweh in men's faces; for you
yourselves will not go in, nor will you allow those who do come, to go
in.
14 Woe
to you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows'
houses, and
then make a show with long prayers! For this, you will receive the
greater damnation.
15 Woe
to you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea
to win
one convert, and when he is won, you make him twice as much the son of
the grave as yourselves.
16 Woe
to you, blind
guides, who
say; Whoever binds an
oath by
the temple, it is not binding; but whoever binds an oath by the gold in
the temple, he is obligated.
17
Blind fools! Which is
greater:
the gold or the altar which sanctifies the
gold?
18
Again: Whoever binds an
oath by
the altar, it is not binding; but whoever binds an
oath by
the offering on it, he is obligated.
19
Blind fools! Which is
greater: the offering or the altar which sanctifies the offering?
20
Therefore, whoever binds an
oath by
the altar, binds by it and everything on it;
21
Whoever binds an
oath by
the temple, binds by it and Him Who dwells there;
22
And he who binds an
oath by
heaven, binds by the throne of Yahweh, and by Him
Who sits upon it.
23 Woe
to you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithes on mint,
anise,
and cumin, but have
neglected the more important matters
of the Law__judgment,
mercy, and faith. Tithing
you ought
to have done,
without leaving the other undone.
24
You blind
guides, who
strain at a gnat, then swallow a camel!
25 Woe
to you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside
of the
cup and plate, but inside they are full of extortions; unlawful
compulsions, blackmail, and incontinence; greed;
unrestrained lack of contentment.
26
You blind
Pharisees! First cleanse the inside of the cup and plate, so that the
outside of them may be clean also.
27 Woe
to you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like
whitewashed
sepulchers which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full
of dead men's
bones and
all uncleanness.
28 In
the same way, you
appear outwardly righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy
and the breaking of Yahweh's Law.
29 Woe
to you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! You build the tombs of the
prophets, and decorate the sepulchers of the righteous,
30
And say; If we had been living
in the days
of our fathers, we would have had no part
with them in the killing of the prophets.
31 In
saying that, you witness
against yourselves that you are the children of those who murdered the
prophets.
32
Make complete then the measure
of your fathers!
33
Serpents! Brood of vipers! How
will you escape the sentence of Gehenna?
34 On
this account, behold, I
send to you prophets, wise men, and scribes; and some of them
you will kill and impale, some of them you will
scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city;
35 So
that upon you may come all
the righteous blood shed upon the whole earth, from the blood of
righteous Abel to the blood of Zecharyah, the son of Berechyah, whom
you murdered between the porch and the altar.
36
Truly I say to you: All these
things will come upon this generation.
The previous examples were of those who upheld and performed this Law. There are also examples of those who did not perform this Law.
This Law was broken shortly after the creation of Adam and Eve, when Satan deceived Eve into partaking of a way of life that Yahweh had forbidden. Eve then convinced her husband, Adam, to also partake. Although Adam knew that Yahweh had forbidden this way of life, he did not correct Eve and even participated in her sin; thus, he brought curses upon himself. Breaking Yahweh's Laws brings curses.
Genesis
3:1-6,17—
1 Now
the serpent was more subtle
and crafty than any beast of the
field which
Yahweh had made. And she said to the woman; Has Yahweh indeed said: You
shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
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.
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.
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.
Aaron, the High Priest, also neglected to rebuke the people for their sins of godworship. He even gave into their demands to make a god for them. Aaron blamed the people for his shortcomings when Mosheh rebuked him.
Exodus
32:1-6,
21-25—
1
When the people saw Mosheh
delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered
together around Aaron, and said to him; Come, make
us a god (el) who will go before us. As for this fellow,
Mosheh, who brought us up out of Egypt, we do not know what has become
of him.
2
Then Aaron said to them; Break
off the golden earrings in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your
daughters, and bring them to me.
3 So
all the people took off
their earrings, and brought them to Aaron.
4 He
took what they
handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf,
fashioning it with an engraving tool. Then they said; This is
your god (el), O Israyl, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!
5
When Aaron saw this, he built
an altar in front of the calf, and announced; Tomorrow is
a feast to Yahweh.
6 So
the next day the people rose
early, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and
the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
21
Mosheh said to Aaron; What did
this people do to you, that you have brought this great sin upon them?
22 So
Aaron said; Do not be
angry. You know the people, how prone they are to evil.
23
They said to me: Make us a god
(el) that will go before us. As for this fellow Mosheh, who brought us
up out of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.
24
And I said to them; Whoever
has any gold jewelry, take it off. Then they gave me the gold, and I
threw it into the fire, and this calf came out!
25
Mosheh saw that the
people were unrestrained and that Aaron had let
them get out of control, and a laughingstock to their
enemies.
In the days of the Prophet Samuyl, a man named Eli was in the office of High Priest. He had two sons who paid no attention to the Laws of Yahweh with regard to their duties in offering sacrifices to Yahweh. For example, the priests were given very specific instructions for offering certain sacrifices. The priests were told exactly what parts of the sacrifice belonged to them to eat. Furthermore, they were to take these only after the fat was completely burned.
The sons of Eli paid no attention to this Law of Yahweh. They were accustomed to taking whatever part of the meat that was pulled out of the pot. Furthermore, they would not wait for the fat to be burned before they would demand this portion, and even took it by force if the offerer would refuse. They were also sleeping with the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting
I
Samuyl
2:12-17—
12
Now, the sons of Eli were sons
of Belial: they did not know Yahweh.
13 It
was the practice of the
priests with the people that when any man offered a sacrifice, and
while the meat was boiling, the priest's servant would come with a
three-pronged fork in his hand.
14
Then he would thrust it into
the skillet; deep
skillet,
kettle, caldron, or pot,
and the priest would take for himself whatever the fork brought up.
This was how they treated all the Israylites who came to Shiloh.
15
But even before the fat was
burned, the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who was
sacrificing; Give the priest some
meat to roast; he will not
take boiled meat from you, but raw.
16
And if the man said to him;
Let the fat be first burned up, and then take whatever you want, the
servant would then answer; No, but you must give it to me now, but if
not, I will take it by force.
17 So
the sin of the young men
was very great in front of Yahweh, for men came to treat Yahweh's
offering with contempt.
When Eli heard all that his sons were doing, he rebuked them but he allowed them to continue. Yahweh spoke to Samuyl and told him that He was going to hold Eli responsible for the sins of his sons. He explained that Eli knew about the sins that his sons were committing, but did not stop them.
I
Samuyl
2:22-25—
22
Now Eli, who was very old,
heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israyl, and how they
slept with the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
23 So
he said to them; Why do you
do such things? I hear from all the people about your evil dealings.
24
No, my sons! Because it is not
a righteous report that I hear, and you make the people of Yahweh
transgress.
25 If
one man sins against
another, Yahweh will judge him. But if a man sins against Yahweh, who
will intercede for him? His sons, however, did not listen to their
father's rebuke, so it came to pass that they were to be put to death
because of this affair.
I
Samuyl
3:11-14—
11
Then Yahweh said to Samuyl:
Behold, I am about to do something in Israyl that will make the ears of
everyone who hears of it tingle.
12 At
that time, everything I
spoke will be carried out against Eli and his house, from beginning to
end.
13
For I have told him that I
will judge his house forever for the iniquity he knew about.
His sons blasphemed Yahweh, and he did not stop them.
14
Therefore, I have vowed to the
house of Eli that the sin of Eli's house shall not be atoned for by
sacrifice or offering forever.
Conclusion
There is only one prophesied Work of Yahweh on earth in this time period. Unless a work is prophesied of by the holy prophets, that work is not of Yahweh. Notice what the Prophet Amosyah said in the following scripture.
Amosyah
3:6-7—
6
Will a trumpet be blown in the
city, and the people not be afraid? Will iniquity fostered by
religious imposters be
taking place in a city, and Yahweh
not also have a righteous
work there?
7 Most
assuredly Father
Yahweh will have no work, other than the work that He has prophesied in
advance by His servants the prophets.
This world is not following the righteous Laws of Yahweh. Everyone is rejecting Yahweh's righteous Laws and following the way of sin, which leads to sickness, disease, hatred and death. This is why they are bringing themselves to destruction. Nuclear bombs will be used, according to the same prophets who foretold of their invention.
Hatred and lust have filled the nations, religions, and all families, even small children, just as the prophets foretold for this time period. Both the people and the earth are defiled.
Isayah
24:1-6—
1
Before Yahweh's very
eyes, the earth is made empty and it is made waste. Its face is
perverted, and its inhabitants are 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 Yahweh has spoken this word.
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.
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.
This is speaking of the same time period and the same nuclear burning as the Prophet Isayah was inspired to write about. The Savior also spoke of these last days and the nuclear wars that will darken the sun.
Mattithyah
24:1-6, 37,
29-30—
1
Yahshua went out and was
leaving the House of Yahweh, when His disciples came to show Him
the buildings of the House of Yahweh.
2 But
Yahshua said to them: Do
you see all these things? Truly I say to you: There will not be one
stone left sitting on top of another,
which will not be thrown down.
3 Now
as He sat on the Mount of
Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying; Tell us, when will
these things be? What will be the sign of Your
coming and the end of the age?
4
Yahshua answered, and said to
them: Be on guard, so that no man deceives you;
5 For
many will come against My
Name, saying: I am anointed to preach salvation!__and
will deceive many.
6 And
you will hear of wars and
rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things
must come to pass. But the end is not yet.
37
But just as the days of Noah
were, so will also be the coming of the Son of Man.
29
Immediately, but
after the tribulation of those days will the sun be darkened, and the
moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and
the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30
And then will appear the sign
of the Son of Man in heaven; and then will all the tribes of the earth
mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory.
Revelation
9:20-21—
20
And the rest of the men who
were not killed by these plagues, still did not repent
of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and
gods (elohim, teraphim) of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and
of wood: which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk;
21
Neither did they repent of
their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of
their thefts.
Revelation
18:1-5—
1 And
after these things I saw
another malak come down from heaven, having great authority; and the
earth was enlightened with His glory.
2 And
he cried mightily with a
strong voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is
become the
habitation
of demons, and the hold
of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For
all nations have drunk of
the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth
have committed
fornication
with her, and the
merchants of the earth have grown rich through the abundance of her
delicacies.
4 And
I heard another voice from
heaven, saying: Come
out of her,
My people, so that
you do not
partake in her sins,
and so that you do
not receive of her plagues,
5 For
her sins
have
reached unto heaven,
and Yahweh has remembered her
iniquities!
If your desire is to come out of this sin-sick world and have a place in the soon coming Kingdom of Yahweh—an eternal place where there will be no more sin and death—with people who refuse to sin, then I urge you to not allow the wisdom you learned from this Law die.
Join us in the only prophesied work of Yahweh on earth for this time period. Notice the prophecy in Malakyah.
Malakyah
4:1-6—
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.
2 But
for you who reverence My
Name, the light of righteousness will arise with healing in its wings;
and you will go out, leaping like calves released from
the stall.
3 And
you will tread down the
wicked; for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day
that I will do this, says Yahweh of hosts.
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 wonderful 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 I come and strike the earth with a
curse; cherem, utter destruction in The Day of Yahweh.
Revelation
3:7-12—
7 And
to the malak of the
congregation of The House of Yahweh in Philadelphia,
write: These things says He Who is holy, He Who is true, He Who has the
key of David, He Who opens and no man shuts, and shuts and no man
opens:
8 I
know your works. Behold, I
have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it; for you have
a little strength, and have kept My word, and have not denied My Name.
9
Behold, I give out of those of
the assemblage of the accuser__who
preach themselves to be those who worship Yahweh, and they are not, but
they attempt to deceive by falsehood__behold,
I will appoint them for the purpose of worshiping in the presence of
your footstool, and they will understand that I loved you.
10 Because
you have
kept the word of My patience, I also will keep you from the hour of
temptation, which will come upon all the world, to test those who dwell
upon the earth.
11
Behold, I come quickly! Hold
fast that which you have, that no man take your crown.
12 He
who overcomes, I
will make a pillar in The House of My Father, and he will never go out
of it. And I will write upon him the Name of My Father, and
the Name of the New Yerusalem which comes down out of heaven from My
Father, newly named.
There is little time left.
