Persecution
Against Yahweh's House
Is Nothing New
MyDear
Friends,
The
Bible is the most sold book
and was once the most read book in the world. However, because of
persecution and evil propaganda the Bible is now the least read book in
the world. The major world religion, which has always been the Roman
Catholic Church, has made war against anyone owning a Bible. During the
Dark Ages, homes were invaded and people were accused of being witches.
Many were burned at the stake, their property was taken away, even
their children were taken away and placed in Catholic orphanages.
The prophecies in your Bible actually show that such things would take place. People would be turned from and discouraged from practicing what's taught in the Bible, teaching from it, or even owning it. They would even be murdered for doing so. To the surprise of many, this persecution continues to this very day.
The Laws of Yahweh are in no way evil. They are, in fact, the most righteous and most sensible Laws one could possibly add to their life or to their children's lives. The persecutors do not attack the Laws outright, they attack the person who keeps or teaches these Laws. Any group in America who keeps the Sabbath or the Feast days is labeled as a Jewish, or an Old Testament, sect. In the mind of the hearer, this label carries something less than honorable. Maybe even something less than a bug or worm. Cult is another word used by the persecutors. Anyone who keeps or teaches the Ten Commandments is either labeled as belonging to a Jewish sect or to a cult.
Jimmy Jones allegedly killed himself and his flock. Although he was a Christian, they called him a cult leader, who, as they reported, kept the Old Testament Laws. Another Christian preacher named Applewhite also allegedly killed himself and his flock, and the news media classified his group as a cult. They also were labeled as ones who lived by the Old Testament Laws. Other Christians who read the Holy Scriptures and tried living by the Ten Commandments were first attacked by the news media, then they were killed with axes, picks, hoes, pitchforks, guns, and even burned alive, all in the name of Christ.
The news show, 60 Minutes, broadcast a special about the many ritualistic murders that were committed by Masons, yet they were never prosecuted for the crimes, although there was no doubt about who did them. It was even admitted on this show that these murders were committed in the name of Christ.
The prophets and apostles were persecuted and killed because they taught the Laws of peace. Your Bible shows that the prophets, the Savior, Yahchanan the Immerser, and all the apostles of Yahshua were persecuted and, according to your Bible and history, many of them were killed.
The Scriptures show that the reason for these persecutions and murders was that they were hated because they kept and taught the only way to salvation, which is keeping the Laws of Yahweh and believing the inspired prophets of Yahweh.
The prophets, Yahshua the Messiah, and the apostles all taught the perfect Laws of Yahweh with authority from Yahweh. They were all told that they would suffer persecution.
The Prophet Daniyl was inspired to foretell about the major religion that would make war against the true saints of Yahweh, which are those who keep the Laws of Yahweh.
Daniyl
7:25—
And
he will speak great
words against Yahweh, and will wear out; mentally attack to
cause to fall away,
the saints of Yahweh, and think to change
times; Yahweh's
Feast Days,
and Laws; and they will
be given into his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of
time.
It's not the righteous saints who condemn and persecute those who keep Yahweh's Laws. It's not the saints who changed the fourth commandment from the seventh day of the week.
Exodus
20:8-11—
8
Remember the Sabbath Day, to
keep it holy.
9 Six
days you shall labor and do
all your work,
10
But the Seventh Day
is the Sabbath of Yahweh your Heavenly Father. In
it you shall do no work: you, nor your wife,
nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your
maidservant, nor your cattle, nor the stranger who dwells
within your gates.
11
For in six
days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in
them; and rested the Seventh Day. Therefore, Yahweh blessed the Sabbath
Day, and hallowed it; Yahweh made the Sabbath Day holy.
We see that the Sabbath day in which we are commanded to rest, is the seventh day, Webster's Unabridged Deluxe Dictionary, 1979, Simon and Schuster, shows us which day is the seventh day of the week:
Sat-ur-day, n. [AS. Sæterdæg, or Sæternes-dæg, Sætern, from L. Saturnus, Saturn.] the seventh or last day of the week; the day of the Jewish Sabbath.
It wasn't the saints, the apostles, who we read about in Book Two (known as the New Testament) of the Scriptures, who changed it. They were suffering perse-cution because they taught that keeping Yahweh's Laws, which brings one to perfection in righteousness, is the only way to salvation. Notice what Book Two says about keeping the Sabbath.
Hebrews
4:1-9—
1
Therefore, since a promise of
entering His rest remains, let us fear so that none of you should come
short of it.
2 For
this message was preached
to us, as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not
benefit them, because they did not share in the faith of those who
obeyed__
3
However, we who have believed
do enter that rest, as He has said: So I vowed in My judgment, They
will not enter into My rest, although the works were finished from the
foundation of the world,
4 For
He spoke in a certain place
of the Seventh
Day,
in
this way: And Yahweh rested the Seventh Day from all His works.
5 And
in this
place again:
If they will enter into My rest.
6
Since therefore it remains that
some must enter it, and those to whom
it was first
preached did not enter because of disobedience,
7
Again, He designates a certain
day, saying in David: ``Today,'' after so long a time, as it has been
said: Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.
8 Now
Yahshua caused them to rest
in obedience to the Law, spoken of by Yahweh in a day previously.
9
Therefore, there
remains the keeping of the Sabbath to the people of Yahweh.
From the inspired writings of the apostles, who Christianity accuses of changing the Sabbath and the Feast days, we see that years after the Savior was sacrificed for our past sins the apostles were still saying, "there remains the keeping of the Sabbath".
Hebrews
4:9—
Therefore,
there remains the
keeping of the Sabbath to the people of Yahweh.
Notice the next two verses also.
Hebrews
4:10-11—
10
For he who has entered into
His rest has also ceased from his own works, as Yahweh did
11
Therefore, let us be zealous
to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall after the same example
of unbelief.
Please notice a copy of the KJV and the center reference showing the correct translation of verse 9.
If you are still seeking scriptural truth and are not willing to follow after men who changed Yahweh's inspired writings, then notice what the apostles said concerning resting on the seventh day, as the Fourth Commandment in your Bible commands you to do.
Hebrews
10:16—
This
is the covenant that I will
renew with them after those days, says Yahweh: I will put My
Laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will
write them.
Does this sound like the Laws of Yahweh were done away with by the apostles? Religious imposters say the Savior changed the Laws and offered another way to salvation other than the plan of Yahweh which was from the beginning. That plan has always been the same:
n Give mankind free moral agency.
n Give them the perfect Laws.
n Allow them to sin if they chose.
n Provide a sacrifice for the sins of those who will repent of sin, to buy their lives back from Satan because we belong to whom we obey.
Romans
6:16—
Do
you not know that to whom you
yield yourselves as servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey__whether
of sin, which
leads to
death, or of
obedience, which
leads to righteousness?
Yahshua died to set us free from our past sins that brought death, just as Yahweh's plan provided.
Romans
6:17-18—
17
But thank Yahweh, though you
were once servants of sin, you have become obedient with all your heart
to the form of teaching which was delivered to you.
18
Being then set
free
from sin, you have become servants of
righteousness.
Righteousness is the keeping of Yahweh's Laws. Sin is evil, which is disobedience to 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.
I
Yahchanan
3:4—
Whoever
commits sin, transgresses
also the Law; for sin is the transgression of
the Law.
I
Yahchanan
2:4—
He
who says: I know Him, but does
not keep His Law, is a liar, and
the truth is not in him.
Romans
8:4,6—
4 In
order that the righteous
requirements of the Law might be fully performed in us, who do not live
according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
6 For
to be carnally minded is
death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Compare the previous Scriptures to the following Scripture.
Romans
7:14—
For we
know that the
Law is spiritual;
but I was carnal, sold into the power of
sin.
Now, with all of this in mind, look at the following Scriptures.
Hebrews
10:16-20—
16
This is the covenant that I
will renew with them after those days, says Yahweh: I will put My Laws
into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them;
17
Then He
says: Their
sins and iniquities I will remember no more.
18
Now where there is remission
of these, there
is no
longer an offering for sin.
19
Therefore, brothers, having
boldness to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Yahshua,
20 By
a new and living way which
He has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh.
Remember this, the religious imposters' way, the "new way", is doing away with the Laws of Yahweh and continuing in sin, and assuring you that you won't die. This is the same lie that Satan told Eve.
Genesis
3:4—
And
the serpent said to the
woman; You will not surely die.
This clearly shows where the religious imposters are getting their inspiration. The Apostles of Yahshua even said so.
Yahchanan
8:44—
You
are of your teacher who
is Satan the Devil, and whatever she who
is your teacher desires, you will do. She was a murderer from the
beginning, and remained not in the truth, because there is no truth in
her. Therefore, when you speak your falsehoods, you
speak her words, because she is a liar, and teacher of all
lies!
I
Yahchanan
3:7-8—
7
Little children, let
no man deceive you;
he who practices righteousness is
righteous, just as He is righteous.
8 He
who commits sin is
of the devil,
for the devil has sinned from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might
destroy the works of the devil.
Those begotten of Yahweh repent and turn from sin.
I
Yahchanan
3:9—
Whoever
is begotten of Yahweh
does not commit sin; for His seed remains in Him; and it is possible
for him not to sin, because he has been begotten of Yahweh.
Those not begotten of Yahweh preach that the Laws were changed and that the apostles were lying when they said the following.
Romans
6:16—
Do
you not know that to whom you
yield yourselves as servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey__whether
of sin, which leads to death, or of
obedience, which leads to righteousness?
I
Yahchanan
3:10-11—
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.
Yahweh's plan has not changed. Salvation is only granted to those who are obedient to Yahweh's Laws. The "new way" does not do away with Yahweh's Laws. Notice for yourself in your own Bible.
Hebrews
4:9-11—
9
Therefore, there
remains the keeping of the Sabbath to the people of Yahweh,
10
For he who has entered into
His rest has also ceased from his own works, as Yahweh did
from His.
11
Therefore, let us be zealous
to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall after the same example
of unbelief.
Hebrews
10:16,
24-26—
16
This is the covenant that I
will renew with them after those days, says Yahweh: I will put My Laws
into their hearts, and in their minds
I will write them;
24
And let us consider one
another, how we may urge one another on
toward love
and righteous works;
25
Not forsaking the gathering of
ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but
exhorting one
another; and
so much the more as you
see the day approaching.
26
For if we
sin
willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no
longer remains a sacrifice for sins.
Remember, I Yahchanan 3:4 states that sin is the breaking of Yahweh's Laws. If we turn back to breaking Yahweh's Laws after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains the sacrifice for sins. Read these inspired words in your own Bible.
Hebrews
10:26—
For
if we sin willfully after we
have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a
sacrifice for sins.
Look at the inspired writings of the Apostle Yahchanan again.
I
Yahchanan
3:6-8—
6
Whoever abides in Him does not
sin; whoever sins, has not seen Him, neither knows Him.
7
Little children, let no man
deceive you; he who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is
righteous.
8 He
who commits sin is
of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might
destroy the works of the devil.
I
Yahchanan
3:10-13—
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.
12
Not as Cain, who
was
of that wicked one, and murdered his brother. And why did he murder his
brother? Because his works were evil, and his brother's were
righteous.
13 Do
not marvel, my brothers, if
the world
hates you.
Persecution is present now more than ever before in human history. This is just more proof that we can trust the prophecies.
I mentioned the Sabbath earlier in this letter because the Prophet Daniyl showed that the world's major religious system would make war against the true saints and stop the people from keeping Yahweh's Sabbaths. The Sabbath Laws are only a few of the Laws in your Bible that are hated by Satan and those she owns. The Sabbaths are a sign between you and Yahweh, if you will keep them, which shows that you belong to Yahweh. Remember the following Scriptures.
I
Yahchanan 3:4,
7-8—
4
Whoever commits sin,
transgresses also the Law; for sin is the transgression
of the Law.
7
Little children, let no man
deceive you; he who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is
righteous.
8 He
who commits sin is of the
devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose
the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of
the devil.
When you start keeping Yahweh's Sabbath, which is from Friday at sunset to Saturday at sunset, be ready to suffer persecution. When you start keeping the Feast days you will suffer even more persecution.
Yahweh's Law states that they must be told their sins. Yahshua Messiah said that when you start keeping Yahweh's Laws you become a light to the world. In this way, you are actually teaching others about the Laws of Yahweh and you are correcting by example. Yahshua said they then have no cloak for their sins. By being a living example in front of them, they are corrected and their sins are exposed.
Yahchanan
15:22—
If I
had not come and spoken to
them, they would not have had their sins revealed; but now they have no
cloak, covering, for their sins.
Notice what else the Savior tells you.
Yahchanan
15:17—
These
things I command you, so
that you may love one another.
Compare that Scripture with the following Scriptures.
I
Yahchanan
5:2-3—
2 By
this we know that we love
the children of Yahweh: When we love Yahweh by keeping His Laws.
3 For
this is the
love
of Yahweh: That we keep His Law, and His Law is not grievous.
Those who persecute others for keeping Yahweh's Laws deceive by teaching a meaningless love, while they continue in sin. Sin not only hurts the one who commits it but others around him as well. Sin is causing over 125 STDs to be spread at this time, while they speak of love. Sin is killing thousands of babies, while they speak peace. Sin is spreading plagues all over the earth, while the deceived religions speak of love.
I
Yahchanan 3:18,
23-24—
18 My
little children, let
us not love in words, neither in speech, but in deed and truth;
23
And this is His commandment:
That we should believe on the Name of His Son, Yahshua Messiah, and
love one another, as He also gave us commandment.
24
And he who keeps His Laws
dwells in Him, and He in him; and by this we know that He abides in us:
By Spirit which He has given us.
Truth is the Laws of Yahweh.
Psalm
119:142,
151—
142
Your righteousness is an
everlasting righteousness, because Your Law is the truth!
151
You are near, O Yahweh, and
all Your Laws are truth!
Yahweh shows that this world will not repent of breaking His Laws even after a third part of men are killed over a fourth part of the earth.
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.
The preachers will continue to preach against the Laws that condemn their actions.
Yahweh's prophets wrote that The House of Yahweh would be established in the Last Days to correct those who sin. These prophecies are given in detail in our book, The End. This book shows you step-by-step what will occur in the last three and one-half year period. We are already one year into this time period. This book also shows you how to protect yourself and your family and how to find peace. You need this book now.
What is written in Revelation 18 is for you right now. You have little time left. You need to come out from among them (the major religious system) so you will not partake of her plagues, caused by sin. Read it for yourself.
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!
May
Yahweh
bless your understanding.
Love,
true love.
