Revelation
6:12—
And I looked when He had opened The Sixth Seal and behold there was a
GREAT EARTHQUAKE and the SUN become BLACK as sackcloth of hair, and the
MOON became as BLOOD.
Mankind could have had peace on earth. There could have always been abundant living, peace, joy and yes, even security. This whole world could have been like the Garden of Eden. The loving Heavenly Father, who created the earth and mankind to live upon it, created the perfect atmosphere and environment for man to dwell in. Yahweh also gave Adam and Eve the perfect government, the government that could have kept the human race living peacefully with each other and with Yahweh himself.
Yes, mankind could have had a full, abundant, joyous, successful life but mankind rejected Yahweh's government, the only way of life that could have brought him the perfect way of living.
The Messiah's Message
When Yahshua Messiah came preaching the message of the kingdom of Yahweh, he proclaimed this ruling government. He spoke of this government with Yahweh the all wise being as the head of this government. Yahweh, the head, has all wisdom to know what is best for all people and has the power to keep the unruly and the rebellious under control
The government that Yahshua proclaimed has laws, laws which the Messiah said must be obeyed, laws which would assure peace for all mankind. Yahshua Messiah said that one must learn to live by and love every word that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh.
Mattithyah 4:4—
But He answered, and
said: It is written: Man does not live by
bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of
Yahweh.
It is not universally understood that Yahshua was quoting this Scripture directly from the Law—the Torah, but He was.
Deuteronomy 8:3—
So He humbled you, and
allowed you to hunger and fed you with
manna, which you did not know of, nor did your fathers know of it; so
He might make you to know that man does not live by bread only, but by
every word that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh, does man live.
The word translated live in this Scripture is word #2421 in the Hebrew Dictionary of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and means:

The Hebrew word translated live actually means: give a promise of life, keep, leave, make alive. Therefore, if and only if man lives by every word of Yahweh then man will live by being given eternal life. But it is also a certain Scriptural fact that any other way will only lead man to destruction and eventually to eternal death.
Do Not Add Nor Take Away
It was taught by the prophets of old, long before the time of Yahshua Messiah that man must learn to live by every word of Yahweh in order to receive the blessings of peace and abundant life. It was taught that one must no add to Yahweh's way nor take away from this perfect form of government. Notice, Yahweh's inspired instructions.
Deuteronomy 4:2—
You shall not add to the
word which I command you, nor shall
you take anything from it, so that you may keep the Laws of Yahweh your
Father which I command you.
Yes, it is a Scriptural fact that only through not adding to the word of Yahweh will one be able to keep the commandment of Yahweh our Father.
Proverbs
30:5-6—
5 Every word; every Law and prophecy, of
Yahweh is pure. he is a shield of protection to those who put their
trust in Him.
6 Do not add to His words; the Law and the Prophets,
of He will reprove you, and you will be found a liar.
In what is commonly known as the New Testament, we find these very interesting scriptures from the King James Version which tell us what those who do Yahweh's commandments will receive and what those who add to or take away from Yahweh's commandments will receive.
Revelation
22:14-15—
14 Blessed are those who keep His Laws,
that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through
the gates into the city.
15 For outside are dogs, and sorcerers,
and whoremongers, and murderers, and worshippers of gods (elohim) and
everyone who professes to love, yet practices
breaking the Law.
Trees In The Garden Of Eden
The same message of the government of Yahweh was preached to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden but was allegorically pictured as a tree. Yahweh himself was teaching Adam to obey his every word, personally teaching Adam in order to train him to qualify to partake of the tree of life in this garden.
Genesis 2:16-17—
16 And Yahweh commanded
the man, saying: Of every tree of the
garden you may freely eat;
17 But of the Tree of
the Knowledge of Righteousness and Evil
you must not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely
die.
Yahweh instructed Adam to eat of the tree of life. Yes, Yahweh instructed Adam to obey every word that proceeded from his mouth. It was in Yahweh's plan for Adam to earn these words from Yahweh and then teach these same words to all human beings who would live on planet earth beginning with his wife, eve. However, everyone should know the rest of this story. Satan deceived eve and Adam did not correct his wife. Adam whether you know it or not was not deceived dam knew the way of Yahweh, the way of complete obedience to every word of Yahweh. But instead of proving to Yahweh that he would obey Yahweh's every world, Adam partook of the tree of the knowledge of righteousness and evil and was banished from the garden of Eden.
Genesis 3:22-24—
22 Then Yahweh said:
Behold, the man has become like one
who has begun to know righteousness and
evil. And
now, he must not be allowed to put out his hand and also take of the
Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever.
23 Therefore Yahweh sent
him out of the
garden
of Eden, to work the ground from which he was taken.
24 So He drove out the
man; and He placed cherubim at the east
of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to
guard the way to the Tree of Life.
The Mixture Of Righteousness And Evil
Satan did not tell Eve to give up everything Yahweh had proclaimed she merely persuaded her to partake of her way also. And because Eve was deceived into partaking of this way and because Adam failed in his commission to teach his wife the way of Yahweh this world today is a mixture of righteousness and evil and this mixture is the way of Satan.
This same "mixture" is on the religions of this world today. These religions partake of some of the Laws of Yahweh but they add to them the deceptions of Satan the" traditions of men".
In the movies about demonism which are produced in Hollywood today the producers depict Satan as being a totally evil, monstrous fiend, usually red in color having horns and a long tail. But this depiction is far from the true Satan. In fact, Satan is described as a beautiful being an intelligent being who was once found to be a loving, caring, minister of light. By comparing the following scriptures one can see the true colors of Satan and of course her preachers of today.
Isayah 14:12-17—
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.
15 Yet you will be
brought down to Sheol; the
grave,
to the sides
of the pit.
16 Those who see you
will stare at you, and they will talk
about you, saying;
Is this the
one; the
adversary, who
shook the earth, and made kingdoms tremble?
17 Is this the one who made the world
like a wilderness, who overthrew the cities in it, and who would
not let her captives go free?
Yechetzqyah 28:11-19—
11 Moreover, the word of
Yahweh came to me, saying:
12 Son of man, take up a
lamentation for the king of Tyre, and
say to him; This is what Father Yahweh says: You were the
seal of the full measure of perfection, full of
wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 You were in Eden, the
garden of Yahweh; every precious
stone was your covering; the ruby, the
topaz, the
emerald, the chrysolite, the onyx, the jasper, the sapphire, the
turquoise, and the beryl. The workmanship of your settings and
mountings were made of gold. In the day you were created, they were
prepared for you.
14 You were the guardian cherub, and I
married you on the holy mountain of Yahweh; you have walked up and down
in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the
day that you were created, until iniquity; sin, was
found in you.
16 By the multitude of
your merchandise they have filled the
midst of you with violence, and you have sinned. Therefore, I will cast
you as profane out of the mountain of
Yahweh; and I
will destroy you from the midst of the stones of fire, O guardian
cherub.
17 Your heart was lifted
up because of your beauty, and you
have corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. I will cast you to
the ground. I will lay you before kings, so that they may behold you.
18 You have defiled your
sanctuaries by the multitude of your
iniquities; sins,
and by the
iniquity of your
trading. Therefore, I will bring forth a fire from the midst of you; it
will devour you, and I will bring you to ashes upon the earth in the
sight of all those who behold you.
19 All who know you
among the peoples will be astonished at
you; you will come to a terrifying end. And never
will you exist again.
II Corinthians
11:12-15—
12 But what I do, I will
also continue to do, in order that I
may cut off the opportunity of those who want an opportunity to be
regarded as equal with us, in what they boast about.
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful
workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of the Messiah.
14 And no marvel; for
Satan herself is transformed into an
angel of light.
15 Therefore, it is no great thing if her
ministers also are transformed as the ministers of righteousness__whose
end will be according to their works.
Satan's way is made to look
desirable to
deceived mankind just as it was to deceived Eve in the garden of Eden
and this is made very clear in the following scripture:
Genesis
3:6—
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.
Doesn't the phrase "government by the people," sound desirable to every carnal minded person who hears it? Of course it does. However, those who can see by the spirit of Yahweh what government by the people has brought upon this world certainly do not find this system of government desirable.
Satan's preachers can make the rejection of Yahweh's Laws sound desirable. In their pulpits, expounding scriptural lies to those who have not experienced the way of Yahweh they make the Law of Yahweh look like a burden. However, to we who can see and have seen the results of sin—war, sickness, incurable diseases, such as AIDS—we know these preachers who present themselves as ministers of light have nothing to do with light but are the ministers of darkness and destruction.
Their ways are not totally evil, their ways are the mixture of righteousness and evil. Their ways have brought untold heartache upon mankind and will eventually bring destruction to the people in this world. It is this mixture of righteousness and evil that you can see every Sunday morning coming from Satan's ministers who preach Satan's ways who condemn Yahweh's Law while they condone sin. They encourage their members to follow their consciences pretending that in doing so they are keeping the law of love. However, Satan's preachers do not teach that man must live by every word of Yahweh, as Yahshua Messiah instructed us to do in Mattithyah 4:4 (Deuteronomy 8:3). And because of this, they are not totally evil they practice the mixture of righteousness and evil which is the way of the whole world at this time.
Yahshua Messiah found this mixture in all the denominations in His day and He strongly condemned it.
Mattithyah 23:23-33—
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 Pharisee! 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?
The disciples saw and condemned this mixture of righteousness and evil.
I Corinthians 10:21—
You cannot drink the cup
of Yahweh and the cup of demons; you
cannot partake of Yahweh's table and of the table of demons.
When man allows Satan to
influence him when
Satan's deceptions no matter how small enter man's thoughts and actions
it causes harm to everyone. This way of Satan is simply leading mankind
into the way of death and this is why mankind has been repeatedly
warned not to let Satan's influence him in any way. Yahweh inspired
this warning to be written for our instruction:
Deuteronomy
12:29-32—
29 When Yahweh your
Father cuts off the nations from in front
of you, and you displace them and live in their land,
30 Be careful not to be
ensnared into following them by asking
about their gods (elohim), saying: How did these nations serve their
gods (elohim)? I also will do the same.
31 You must not worship
Yahweh your Father in their way, for
every abomination to Yahweh, which He hates, they have done to their
gods (elohim). They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as
sacrifices to their gods (elohim).
32 Whatsoever I command
you, be careful to observe and do it,
you shall not add to it, nor take away from it.
The word translated command in Deuteronomy 12:32 is word #6680 in the Hebrew Dictionary of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and means:

When Yahweh commanded, He set in order the way to peace and joy, through His commandments, statutes and judgments. And these are Yahweh's perfect Laws of His perfect government—the Kingdom of Yahweh.
Mankind Rejected Yahweh's Way
As Adam and Eve went so also went the deceived human race. In the later history of the people we find that Nimrod established a form of government influenced by Satan which was against Yahweh's government.
Genesis
10:8-10—
8 Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
9 He was a tyrant who deceived, who
turned against Yahweh; therefore it is said: Like Nimrod the tyrant who
deceived, who turned against Yahweh.
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad,
and all of them in the land of Shinar; that is, Babylon.
'Babylon' means confusion. Nimrod's form of government religious confusion prevails in all nations today. Nimrod's policy of government is spoken of in scripture as a tower.
Genesis 11:4—
And they said; Come, let
us build ourselves a city,a and a
tower, whose top is in the heavens. Let us make a name for ourselves,
lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.
The word translated tower in this scripture is word #4026 from word #1431 in the Hebrew Dictionary of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and means:

This tower is a rostrum for a
political
purpose. It is a pulpit for a religious purpose. It is pride, boast,
magnify, promote, proudly spoken against the way of Yahweh.
The form of
government promoted by Nimrod, according to history consisted of
religion and politics combined. This was government against Yahweh.
This was government of the people, by the people and influenced by
Satan.
A Higher Tower
In effect, Nimrod said to the people let us combine our forces and become great so no one will be able to attack us. Let us construct weapons mightier than anyone else. Let us build a stronger army than anyone else and then we will have peace. It was in Nimrod's plans to boastfully and proudly magnify his own government to promote his government against Yahweh. However, as you may read for yourself in the following scriptures, Yahweh confounded their language and scattered the people abroad so they could not build this tower.
Genesis 11:7-8—
7 Come now! I will go
down, and there I will confuse their
language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 So Yahweh scattered
them abroad from there over the face of
all the earth; and they ceased building the city.
In effect, Yahweh set mankind's technological advancement back at that time in order to keep mankind from destroying himself before Yahweh's plan or man could be completed. Yahweh's act of scattering man throughout the earth slowed mankind's destructive process so Yahweh's 6,000 year process of building His family could take place.
Like All The Other Nations
When Yahweh chose the children of Israyl He gave them his form of perfect government His laws, statutes and judgments. Yahweh showed them the blessings His from of government would bring, if they would only follow it.
Deuteronomy 28:1-2—
1And it will be, if you
will listen diligently to the voice of
Yahweh your Father , observing and doing all His Laws which I command
you this day, that Yahweh your Father will set you high above all the
nations on earth as His kings and priests.
2And all these blessings
will come upon you, and accompany
you, because you obey Yahweh your Father.
However, Yahweh also showed the children of Israyl the curses which have come upon this whole world because of their rejection of Yahweh and His Laws. Yes, the Prophet Mosheh entreated the people to obey Yahweh to accept life and righteousness.
Deuteronomy 30:14-20—
14 The Law is very near
you: it is in your mouth and in your
heart, so you may obey it.
15 See, I have set
before you this day life by righteousness,
and death and destruction__
16 In that I command you
this day to love Yahweh your Father,
by walking in all
His ways, by
keeping His Laws,
His statutes, and His judgments, so that you may live and multiply, and
so Yahweh your Father may bless you in the land which you go in to
possess.
17 But if your heart
turns away, and you are not obedient, and
you are drawn away to submit to gods (elohim), to worship them by
serving them__
18 I declare to you this
day that you will surely perish; you
will not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Yardan
to possess.
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;
20 So you may love
Yahweh your Father, by listening to Him,
and then obeying Him. Hold fast to Him,
for He is
your life. He will also
give you many
years in the
land He vowed to give to your fathers; to Abraham, Isaac, and Yaaqob.
Had the nation of Israyl obeyed Yahweh and accepted life and righteousness; had they allowed Yahweh to be their King and lived by His way, then they would have had the peaceful, joyous, blessed life which Yahweh had promised. But they soon rejected the Kingdom of Yahweh. They wanted to go the way of all other nations the way the whole world is going today, the way of war, the way to destruction.
I Samuyl 8:4-5—
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.
Yahweh was rejected. His Laws were rejected. The children of Israyl no longer wanted to be a part of the Kingdom of Yahweh. But Yahweh did not force the children of Israyl to live in His way. He knew that He must let Israyl live their own way in order to teach them a vital lesson which all the world must one day learn. This lesson is any way other than Yahweh's way, obeying Him and His governing Laws, will bring harm, yes, destruction to mankind. Individual sin brings individual harm; national sin causes national destruction. Because of this lesson, Yahweh told Samuyl to let man rule over Israyl since they did not want Him to rule over them.
I Samuyl 8:7-9 —
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.
8 Just as they have done
to Me from the
day I brought them out of Egypt, to this very day, they are now doing
to you__they are forsaking Me
in order to serve God(s); Elohim!
9 So, listen to them.
However, solemnly forewarn them and let
them know how the king who will reign over them will behave toward
them.
When Yahweh spoke these words
in I
Samuyl 8:9
in effect He said: show them the type of
government which will oppress them since they have rejected Me. This
government of the people, by the people, against Yahweh and for Satan
has prevailed over all nations to this very day. No nation has
completely turned back to Yahweh's way, to Yahweh's government. That is
why this whole world is nearing destruction in the time period we are
now living. But mankind will soon learn the lesson they will never
forget. This lesson is not only for the nation Israyl, this lesson is
for this whole world. Yes, this whole world has gone the way Satan
deceived mother Eve into accepting, the way of righteousness and evil.
Anything other than the way of Yahweh brings harm to mankind;
transgressing any of Yahweh's Laws will bring harm to mankind. Yahweh
calls transgression of His Law sin. This is the scriptural definition
of sin as written in:
I Yahchanan 3:4—
Whoever commits sin,
transgresses also the Law; for sin is the
transgression of the Law.
This is not me saying this, Yahweh's Holy Scriptures say this. Sin is the transgression of Yahweh's Law. When mankind sins this sin closes the door between Yahweh and man so Yahweh simply refused to listen to sinful mankind when he cries out in his misery. Mankind cuts himself off from Yahweh, miserable mankind who commits sin, and accepts the satanic mixture of righteousness and evil.
Isayah 59:1-2—
1 Behold, Yahweh's hand
is not shortened, that it cannot save;
nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.
2 But your own
iniquities have separated you from your Father;
and your own sins have caused Him to hide His face from you, so He will
not listen.
The Law Of Yahweh
The Patriarch Abraham had the blessings, which come through the keeping of Yahweh's Laws.
Genesis
26:5—
Because Abraham obeyed My voice, and kept My charge, My
commandments, My statutes, and My Laws.
Abraham obeyed Yahweh and received the blessings, which come because of it. However, Satan's preachers have fought against Yahweh's Laws since the beginning and have received the curses, which come because of it. Satan's preachers will tell you: "Those old laws were all nailed to the cross. You don't need to keep those old laws. The savior did it all for you. Those laws were only for the Jews."
Even though Satan's preachers
may tell you these things you
will not find these things written in the Holy Scriptures. Read the
scriptures for yourself and you will only find that they teach you to
keep the Laws of Yahweh. Yahshua Messiah taught that you must keep
Yahweh's Law that is if you want eternal life. Yahshua, the Son of
Yahweh, our Messiah and High Priest over the House of Yahweh came
preaching the following:
Mattithyah 5:19—
Whosoever, therefore,
will break one of the least of these
Law, and will teach men so, he will be called the least in the Kingdom
of Yahweh; but whosever will do and teach them, the same will be called
great in the Kingdom of Yahweh.
I have often said that the reason those who teach against Yahweh's Laws will be called the least in the Kingdom because they simple will not be there very long. Those least ones will be cast into the lake of fire, to be burned up and gotten out of the way of those who would obey Yahweh. Yahshua shows us how to enter the kingdom.
Mattithyah 19:17—
But He said to him: Why
do you question Me about
righteousness? There is only One Who is the standard of perfection, and
that is Yahweh; so if you would enter into life, keep the Laws of
Yahweh.
Yahshua tells us He did not come to destroy the Law as the deceived preachers teach.
Mattithyah 5:17—
Do not even think that I
have come to destroy the Law or the
Prophets; I have not come to destroy them, but to establish them.
When Satan's preachers teach that Yahshua did away with the Laws of Yahweh they are doing exactly what the Messiah told them not to do. Not only are they thinking Yahshua did away with the Law when Yahshua told them don't even think this but this is also what they teach.
The Greek word pleroo, word #4127 in the Greek Dictionary of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance which was translated fulfill in Matthew 5:17 of the King James Version, is the same word which was translated fulfill in:
Matthew 3:15, KJV—
And Jesus answering said
unto him, Suffer it to be so now: For
thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
I would like to call your
attention to the
fact that if the word fulfill meant to do away with, then Yahshua did
away with all righteousness because this scripture says: it becometh us
to fulfill all righteousness. In this same context, read the following
scripture:
Philippians 2:2, KJV—
Fulfill ye my joy, that
ye be like-minded, having the same
love, being of one accord of one mind.
Yahshua and all His apostles, including the Apostle Shaul, taught that Yahweh's Laws, Statutes and Judgments are to be performed full to be established and most definitely not to be done away with.
The Apostle Shaul, who is proclaimed to be the apostle to the gentiles because he did away with all those old laws, did not teach any doctrine different from those taught by the other apostles. Shaul was not double-tongued. Even Satan's preachers today will tell you that there are no contradictions in all the Bible even though their idea of no contradictions is to teach that no laws should be kept.
The Apostle Yahchanan, in
agreement with the Apostle Shaul,
tells us in:
I
Yahchanan 2:3-4—
3 Now by this we do know that we know Him: If we keep His
commandments.
4 He who says: I know Him, but does not keep His
Law, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
I
Yahchanan 3:22—
And whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we
keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing
in His sight.
I
Yahchanan 3:24—
And he who keeps His Commandments dwells in Him, and
He in him; and by this we know that He abides in us: By the
Spirit which He has given us.
I
Yahchanan 5:2-3—
2 By this we know that we love the children of Yahweh: When we
love Yahweh by keeping His commandments.
3 For this is the love of Yahweh: That we keep His
Law, and His Law is not grievous.
II Yahchanan 1:6—
And this is love: That we walk after
His Commandments.
Those are the Commandments, that, as you have heard from the beginning,
you should walk in them.
Did Shaul teach the Romans a
lawless, no
works salvation? Not by any means! Shaul taught them the following:
Romans
2:13—
For not the hearers of the Law are just
before Yahweh, but the doers of the Law will be justified.
Romans
3:31—
Are we then doing away with the Law through the faith? By no
means! Rather, we establish the Law!
Romans
7:7—
Shall we 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.
Romans 7:12—
Therefore the Law is holy,
and the commandments
are holy, and just,
and righteous.
The Apostle Shaul taught a Ten
Commandments
Law to the Ephesians, as proven in:
Ephesians
6:2-3—
2 Honor your father and mother;
which is the first
commandment
with a promise:
3 That it may be well
with you, and you may live long on the
earth.
The Law to honor one's father and mother, in order that our days may be long upon the land, is commandment number five of the Ten Commandments, which are found in both Exodus 20:12 and Deuteronomy 5:16.
The Apostle Shaul was not teaching the abolishment of the Ten Commandments, or he would not have taught the Ephesians to obey that Law. Did Shaul teach the Hebrews that the renewed covenant did away with the Laws of Yahweh? Most assuredly not, Shaul taught Yahweh's truth about this covenant.
Hebrews
8:10—
For this covenant is the same covenant
that I will renew with the house of Israyl: After those days, says
Yahweh; I will put My Law in their inward parts, and write it
in their hearts; minds, and I will be
their Father, and they will be My people.
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.
We are shown that only those who keep Yahweh's Laws will have the right to the Tree of Life, that is eternal life.
Revelation
22:14—
Blessed are those who
keep His Laws, that they may have right
to the tree of life,and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Yahshua and all of His apostles, including the Apostle Shaul, taught their followers to keep the Law. We also know that any other teaching is against the Law. We have also seen that the apostles taught that Yahweh's commandments are holy, just and righteous and that only those who fully perform Yahweh's Law will enter Yahweh's Kingdom.
The Love Of This World
Satan's preachers bring forth a
message of
love, saying that the Old Testament teaches law while the New Testament
teaches love. They don't even know what love is. If they knew what love
is, they would be teaching what is written in the following scriptures:
I Yahchanan
2:15-17—
15 Do not love the
world, nor the things that are in the
world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in
the world: the lust of the flesh, and
the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but
is of the world.
17 And the world passes
away, with the lust that is in it; but
he how does the will of Yahweh abides forever.
In these scriptures, the Apostle Yahchanan is speaking of a worldly government—by the people, of the people, against Yahweh, and for Satan. He was also telling us about this world a world against the governing Kingdom of Yahweh just as Nimrod's was.
Reading I Yahchanan 2:17, we find that those who do the will of the Father, Yahweh, will abide forever. This world in its present state certainly will not abide forever. In fact, we are nearing the destruction at this very moment. Anyone who thinks otherwise is simply without any understanding whatsoever.
The Last Warning
Yahweh has sent prophet after prophet to warn this world of the consequences of man's rule and of the consequences of breaking his Laws, Statutes, and Judgments. Yes, Yahweh has sent his prophets to cry out against mankind's wisdom. Yahweh has sent his prophets to tell this world that Satan is determined to bring total destruction upon this planet if Yahweh would just allow it.
Yahshua Messiah warned the believers of the consequences of
government by and of the people influenced by Satan.
Mattithyah 24:7-8—
7 For nation will rise
against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom, and there will be famines and pestilences; disease epidemics,
and earthquakes in place after place;
8 All these are the
first half of the sorrows; tribulation!
Isn't it time that we wake up to the fact that Yahweh's prophecies are truly coming to pass?
Nuclear War, What It Will Bring?
Ever since the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, most people have been grimly aware of the heat, the blast and the radiation effects of a nuclear explosion. The experts in this field now realize human beings, man-made structures and the natural environment of the whole earth would be devastated by the immensely greater holocaust that a full scale nuclear war would bring.
Two recent studies suggest another catastrophic consequence of an all out nuclear exchange, one that had largely been overlooked. At a meeting in Washington, D.C. late in October of 1983, scientists warned that soot, smoke and dust from the explosions of less than half of the superpowers' nuclear arsenals could blanket the earth, block out the sun and cause a prolonged, bitterly cold nuclear winter. This climactic upheaval, these scientists warned could threaten the survival of the total human race.
Planetary scientist, Carl Sagan, reported he and several colleagues had run mathematical simulations, showing that the pall from burning cities, forests and fuel stocks would create a dense cloud that could screen much of the northern hemisphere from more than 90% of the sun's light for as long as a month. Within two weeks of detonation, the surface of the earth could cool to 13 degrees Fahrenheit, and remain that cold for months. After several weeks the cloud could reach the southern hemisphere, as well. Full daylight and normal temperatures would not return for as long as a year.
Using the physicists' predictions, a team of biologists, headed by Stanford University's Paul Ehrlich, gauged the ecological consequences of several levels of nuclear war. After a major conflict, involving more than three-quarters of the available strategic arsenal, the cold would devastate crops and other plant life, particularly if war occurred during the spring or summer. Fresh water would freeze; hungry and thirsty animals would die. At the same time, the dark would limit photosynthesis, the process by which plants produce the chemical compounds necessary for life. In the oceans, outside of Arctic regions, the lack of sunlight would be felt immediately. There, the food chain depends on microscopic plants that are extremely sensitive to changes in the amount of light they receive. On the land masses in the tropics, where most plants lack a reserve of stored energy, a substantial decrease in the amount of sunshine would quickly extinguish many species.
Ehrlich said, "…over the decades that follow…we cannot exclude the possibility of the extinction of the human species."
Four high-ranking Soviet scientists agreed late in 1983 with the conclusion of United States scientists of the effects of a nuclear war. They agreed nuclear war would be far more calamitous and global than most analysts have, up to now, believed. For the first time, well-respected scientists from the United States and the Soviet Union have concluded that even a small-scale nuclear war could mean the end of life on this planet.
The following article, an essay from Discover magazine, February 1984, deals directly with the consequences of Nuclear War.
Dr. Thomas was one of the four American scientists who, at the invitation of Senators Edward Kennedy and Mark Hatfield, met in Washington in December for a three-hour open discussion with four Soviet counterparts. The subject of their discussion: the nuclear winter (discover, January).
Two scientific reports have recently been published, dealing with the probable effects of nuclear war upon the earth's climate and the life of the planet. The first discovery is already widely known within the scientific community of climatologists, geophysicists, and biologists here and abroad, and has been confirmed in detail by scientists in the Soviet Union. Computer models demonstrate that a nuclear war involving the exchange of less than one third of the total American and Soviet arsenal will change the climate of the entire Northern Hemisphere, shifting it abruptly from its present seasonal state to a long, sunless, frozen night. This will be followed after some months by a settling of nuclear soot and dust, then by a new malignant kind of sunlight, with all of its ultraviolet band, capable of blinding most terrestrial animals, no longer shielded from the earth by the ozonosphere. In the same research, new calculations of the extent and intensity of radioactive fallout predict the exposure of large land areas to much more intense levels of radiation than expected. The report is referred to as TTAPS, an acronym derived from the investigators' names: Turco, Toon, Ackerman, Pollack, and Sagan.
The second piece of work, by Paul Ehrlich and 19 other distinguished biologists, demonstrates that the predictions of TTAPS mean nothing less than the extinction of much of the earth's biosphere, very possibly involving the Southern Hemisphere as well as the Northern.
Taken together, the two papers change everything in the world about the prospect of thermonuclear warfare. They have already received a careful and critical review by scientists representing the disciplines concerned, here and abroad, and there already appears to be an unprecedented degree of concurrence with the technical details as well as the conclusions drawn. In the view of some referees, the TTAPS report may even be understating the climatological damage implied by its data. The 20 biologists' paper, summarized by Professor Ehrlich, represents the consensus arrived at by 40 biological scientists at a meeting in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, last spring.
It is a new world, demanding a new kind of diplomacy and a new logic.
Up to now, the international community of statesmen, diplomats, and military analysts has tended to regard the prospect of nuclear war as a problem only for the adversaries in possession of the weapons. Arms control and the endless negotiations aimed at the reduction of nuclear explosives have been viewed as the responsibility, even the prerogative, of those few nations in actual confrontation. Now all that is changed. There is no nation on earth free of the jeopardy of destruction if any two countries, or groups of countries, embark upon a nuclear exchange. If the Soviet Union and the United States, and their respective allies in the Warsaw Pact and NATO, begin to launch their missiles beyond a still undetermined and ambiguous minimum, neutral states like Sweden and Switzerland are in for the same long-term effects, the same slow death, as the actual participants. Australia and New Zealand, Brazil and South Africa, could have as much to worry about as West Germany if a full-scale exchange were to take place far to the north.
Up to now, we have all tended to regard any conflict with nuclear arms as an effort by paired adversaries to settle such issues as territorial dominance or ideological dispute. Now, with the new findings before us, it is clear that any territory gained will be, at the end, a barren wasteland, and any ideology will vanish in the death of civilization and the permanent loss of mankind's memory of culture.
The risks of this kind of war have conventionally been calculated by the numbers of dead human beings on either side at the end of the battle, armies and noncombatants together. The terms "acceptable" and "unacceptable," signifying so-and-so many million human casualties, have been used for making cool judgments about the need for new and more accurate weapon systems. From now on, things are different. Leave aside the already taken for granted estimate that in an all-out exchange of, say, 5,000 megatons, something like a billion people would be killed outright by blast, heat, and radiation. Set aside as well the likely fact that more than another billion would die later on, from the delayed effects of the climate and radioactive fallout.
To date, there have been no significant differing conclusions presented by any opposing factions. The consensus is that nuclear war will be the end of life as we know it. Dr. Henry Kissenger, a former presidential cabinet member, in an Associated Press interview, said: "I don't know how long we can postpone a nuclear war, but we all know one thing, when we have a nuclear war it will be the last war ever fought."
Prophecies Agree
Almost 2,000 years ago, Yahshua Messiah proclaimed that the time would come when man's way to peace through his technology for war would develop to a point where the human race could annihilate itself from the face of the earth.
Yahshua's disciples, curious about what would take place in
the last days and knowing that He knew of this time asked him the
following questions:
Mattithyah 24:3—
Now as he sat on the
Mount of Olives, the disciples came o Him
privately, saying: tell us, when will these things be? What will be the
sign of Your coming and the end of the age?
When will these things be? In
answer to
this question, Yahshua responded in Mattithyah 24:6
that wars and rumors of wars would continue throughout history. He also
said that these wars were not the end. We are now living in the
prophetic age Yahshua spoke of in Mattithyah 24:6.
Wars and rumors of wars are raging now as they have done throughout the
history of mankind. However, Yahshua did show his disciples the end of
the age. In effect, he showed them a world war in progress in:
Mattithyah 24:7—
For nation will rise
against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom, and there will be famines and pestilences; disease
epidemics, and
earthquakes in place after place.
The end of the age does not culminate due to the small wars going on in this world today. The end of the age comes when the major nations and kingdoms rise against each other, bringing famines, pestilences (new and numerous diseases) and earthquakes in place after place.
The Nuclear War In Scripture
With
the detonation of nuclear weapons,
enormous explosions will jar the earth. Because of this, you will see
earthquakes as never before, including one of great magnitude.
Revelation 6:12—
And I looked when He had
opened the sixth seal, and behold,
there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of
hair, and the moon became as blood.
I would again remind you of the scientific studies conducted to show what nuclear war would bring as stated previously in this article, "…soot, smoke, and dust from the explosions of less than half of the superpowers' (nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom) nuclear arsenals could blanket the earth and block out the sun.
We find that
Yahweh has a controversy against the nations in:
Yeremyah 25:31-33—
31 A noise will come to
the ends of the earth__for
Yahweh has a controversy; a legal indictment, against
the nations; He will plead; enter into judgment, with
all flesh; The wicked will be given to the sword, says Yahweh.
32 This is what Yahweh
of hosts says: Behold, disaster will go
forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind will be raised up
from the coasts of the earth;
33 And at that day, the
slain of Yahweh will be from one
end of the
earth even to the other
end
of the earth. They will not be lamented, nor gathered, neither buried;
they will be refuse on the ground.
Mattithyah 24:7—Yahshua Messiah said that the end would culminate in a global war, nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom.
Yeremyah 25:32—The Prophet Yeremyah proclaimed that disaster will go forth from nation to nation. This disaster is coming from one nation and going to another nation. I would remind you, the missiles, which carry these nuclear warheads, are designed to travel from nation to nation.
Yeremyah 25:31-32—Here we read that a noise will be heard from one end of the earth to the other and that a great whirlwind will be raised up from the coasts of the earth. These nuclear explosions will involve all nations. No area of this planet will be exempt from this great noise and destruction.
Yeremyah 25:33—This catastrophe will befall in one day. At that day, destruction and waste of human life will come from one end of the earth to the other. There will be so many dead there will be none to gather and bury them, these bodies will rot like garbage on the ground.
We then read that the city of Yerusalem will not escape the nuclear holocaust.
Yeremyah 25:29—
For behold, I begin to
bring disaster on the city which is
called with My Name, so should you be utterly unpunished? You will not
be unpunished, for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of
the earth, says Yahweh of hosts.
Yahweh's Name is not called on the city of Yerusalem at this time. This is a prophecy which will come to pass, however, just as the Prophet Yechetzqyah was inspired to write. There is a time in man's future after this world comes under complete subjection to Yahweh, when the city of Yerusalem will be renamed.
Yechetzqyah
48:35—
The distance around the city
will be eighteen thousand measures; and
the name of the city from that day will
be: YAHWEH SHAMMAH—Yahweh Is There.
We find that it is Yahweh who will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth, not just a part of it. The Prophet Hosheyah spoke of this same time of trouble and also told us why this disaster is coming on all the earth.
Hosheyah 4:1-6—
1 Hear the word of
Yahweh, you children of Israyl! For Yahweh
has a controversy; a
legal dispute, with
the
inhabitants of the land, because there is no
truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of Yahweh in the land.
2 By pronouncing curses,
lying, killing, stealing, and committing adultery, they break out; with
bloodshed following bloodshed.
3 Therefore, the land
will mourn, and everyone who dwells in
it will languish, with the beasts of the field and the fowls of the
air; yes, even the fish of the sea will be taken away.
4 Now let no man
contend; argue
with, nor
rebuke another, for My contention is with the priests!
5 Therefore, you will
fall in the day, and the prophet will
also fall with you in the night, and I will destroy your mother.
6 My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you
have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you will be no
priest to Me. Because you have forgotten the Law of Yahweh, I will also
forget your children.
Hosheyah 4:1—Yahweh has a controversy with all the inhabitants of the land because they have forgotten Yahweh and His way.
Hosheyah 4:2—These are the breaking of Yahweh's Laws. The breaking of Yahweh's Laws will cause the curse of nuclear war to come upon all the world (Mattithyah 24:7, Yeremyah 25:32-33) causing bloodshed.
Hosheyah 4:3—Everyone who lives in Israyl will languish along with all other wildlife and the fish of the sea will be destroyed. Remember that one of the consequences of nuclear winter discussed previously is the fact that the lack of sunlight would directly affect the food chain and the oceans and as a result would kill the fish. What besides nuclear war could destroy life from one end of the earth to the other, while at the same time destroying sea life?
Hosheyah 4:6—Yahweh then tells us why these things are coming. Yahweh's people are destroyed for lack of knowledge just as Hosheyah 4:1 says. Because this world has rejected Yahweh and accepted Satan, it will be destroyed.
Nuclear War—Man's Destruction of Himself
Yahweh is not bringing this destruction upon mankind. Yahweh tells us in advance that mankind will do this to himself. Yahweh knew when mankind rejected his governing Laws and began their own government of the people, by the people, against Yahweh and for Satan that man's government would end in destruction.
Yahweh knows the future. He knows what will take place when mankind does certain things. Just as a loving father or mother knows the consequences of their child touching a hot stove and warns their child of these consequences, Yahweh, through his mighty wisdom, warned mankind long ago of the consequences of man's government.
It was Yahweh who set the Laws of the universe in motion. Yahweh knows these laws assure peace, joy and abundant living, if they are obeyed. However, Yahweh also knows when his Laws are ignored or broken, the curses proclaimed to warn mankind would come. Yahweh warned Adam of these consequences and as you have read from the previous scriptures, Yahweh has also warned the whole world.
The first warning from Yahweh came to Adam but he rejected that warning. He allowed his wife to rebel against Yahweh by following this rebellion.
Genesis 3:2-6—
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.
Yahweh's second warning came to mankind through his prophet Mosheh when the warning of the curses which would come if Yahweh's Law were not obeyed.
Deuteronomy 28:15, 22—
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:
22 It will come to pass that you
will cause yourselves to be struck with consumption, with a fever, with
an inflammation, with scorching heat, with the sword, with blasting,
and with mildew; they will stay with you, until you perish.
Within Deuteronomy 28:22, Yahweh inspired the prophet Mosheh to warn us of the nuclear war which is coming upon this world because the Laws, Statutes and Judgments of Yahweh have been rejected by this world. The definitions of pertinent words, which follow, are from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Hebrew Dictionary, Baker Book House, Grand Rapids, MI.
consumption—
7829. shachepheth, shakh-eh-feth;
from the same as 7828, emaciation:—
consumption.
7828. shachaph,
shakh¢af; from an unused root mean. to peel,
i.e. emaciate; the gull
(as thin):—cuckoo.
Fever—
6920. qaddachath, kad-dakh-ath;
from 6919, inflammation, i.e.
febrile disease:—burning ague, fever.
6919. qadach, kaw-dakh;
a prim. root to inflame:—burn,
kindle.
Inflammation—
1816. dalleqeth, dal-lek-keth;
from 1814, a burning
fever:—inflammation.
1814.dalaq, daw-lak;
a prim. root; to flame (lit. or
fig.):—burning, chase, inflame, kindle, persecute (-or), pursue
hotly.
Within these three words, we see that Yahweh predicted that famine and pestilence (disease epidemics) long before His Son, Yahshua Messiah, predicted them in Mattithyah 24:7. Yahshua believed the prophets. He believed the words that Yahweh inspired the Prophet Mosheh to write in warning. In the next three words from verse 22, Yahweh shows us more.
Scorching
Heat—
2746. charchur, khar-khoor;
from 2787, fever as hot:—extreme
burning.
2787. charar, khaw-rar;
a prim. root; to glow, i.e.
lit. (to melt, burn, dry up) or fig. (to show
or incite passion:—be
angry, burn, dry, kindle.
The meaning of this word is melting by extreme burning. Yahweh's prophets of old were not ignorant of this prophecy as we read in:
Nachumyah 1:3-5—
3 Yahweh is slow to anger and great in
power, and will by no means acquit the wicked. Yahweh
has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are
in the dust of
His feet.
4 He rebukes the sea and
makes it dry, and dries up all the
rivers. Bashan and Carmel languish, the flower of Lebanon wilts.
5 The mountains quake
before Him, the hills melt, and the
earth is burned in His presence; yes, the world, and all that dwells in
it.
Sword—
2719. chereb, kheh-reb;
from 2717, drought; also
a cutting instrument (from its destructive
effect), as a knife, sword, or other
sharp implement:—axe, dagger, knife, mattock, sword, tool.
2717. charab, khaw-rab¢;
or chareb, khaw-rabe¢;
a
prim. root; to parch (through
drought), i.e.
(by anal.) to desolate, destroy, kill:—decay,
(be) desolate, destroy (-er), (be) dry (up), slay, x surely, (lay, lie,
make waste...
This word means to desolate, destroy, kill, make waste, dry up, slay, to perish through war. This sword was prophesied by Yahshua in Mattithyah 24:7 as nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom.
Blasting—
7711. shedephah, shed-ay-faw;
or shiddaphown, shid-daw-fone¢;
from 7710; blight:—blasted
(-ing).
7710. shadaph,
shaw-daf; a prim. root; to scorch:—blast.
Blasting is translated from the Hebrew shedephah which comes from shadaph and means to scorch from blasting. A blast in this context is war and the effects of it. This blast is an explosion.
This prophecy about blasting was written before the invention of dynamite or any other combustible material. An explosive blast was not possible for Mosheh in his day. Yet, under inspiration of Yahweh, Mosheh wrote that mankind would destroy himself by the use of a power which would blast and scorch.
Mildew—
3420. yeraqown, yay-raw-kone;
from 3418; paleness, whether
of persons (from fright), or of plants (from
drought):—greenish, yellow.
The effects of nuclear war are most certainly frightening. However, just as Yahweh's prophecy in Deuteronomy 28:22 is written all of these things: famine, pestilence, earthquakes and fear will remain with this world until you perish.
Now we can see the effects of a nuclear explosion. We can see the destruction and devastation to this planet during a nuclear war that was actually prophesied 6,000 years ago by a loving Heavenly Father who did not want his children to get their fingers burned.
Radioactive Fallout
There is more to this prophecy.
Yahweh goes
on to describe the radioactive fallout that comes as a direct result of
the nuclear blast. We read the rest of this prophecy in:
Deuteronomy
28:23-24—
23 And the heaven that
is over your heads shall be brass,
and the Earth under you shall be iron.
24 Yahweh shall make the
rain of your land powder
and dust: from heaven it shall come down
upon you,
until you are destroyed.
Within the meanings of the words: brass, iron, powder, and dust, we can see that Mosheh described perfectly the radioactive fallout from a nuclear explosion, which we read of earlier. Reading the definitions from the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Hebrew Dictionary, we find this information.
Brass—
5178. nechosheth,
nekh-o-sheth;
for 5154; copper;
5154. nechuwshah, nekh-oo-shaw;
or nechushah, nekh-oo-shaw¢;
fem. of 5153; copper:—brass,
steel.
5153. nachuwah, naw-khoosh;
appar.pass. part of 5172 (perh. in the sense of ringing,
i.e. bell-metal; or from the red color of
the throat of a serpent [5175, as denom.] when hissing); coppery,
i.e. (fig.) hard:—of brass.
The root meaning of the word brass is the red color of the throat of a serpent. The heaven that is over your heads shall be red in color during this blast.
Iron—
1270. barzel, bar-zel;
perh. from the root of 1269; iron
(as cutting)
by extens. an iron implement:—(ax)
head, iron.
1269. Birzowth, beer-zoth;
prob. fem. plur. from an unused root (appar. mean. to pierce);
holes;
The word iron means to pierce—holes. When the heaven that is over your heads is the color red, the blast will pierce holes in the earth.
Powder—
80. abaq, aw-bawk;
from root of 79; light particles (as volatile):—(small)
dust, powder.
Dust—
6083. aphar, aw-fawr;
from 6080; dust (as powdered
or gray) hence clay, Earth, mud:—ashes,
dust, Earth, ground, mortar, powder, rubbish.
6080. aphar, aw-far;
a prim. root; mean.either to be gray
or
perh. rather to pulverize; used
only as denom. from 6083; to be dust:—cast
[dust].
When a nuclear blast hits the land, piercing holes in the Earth, the detonation will pulverize the soil, turning it into volatile particles (as shown in the meaning of the word powder), gray in color. This powder and dust is the radioactive fallout from a nuclear blast which will come down from heaven upon you, until you are destroyed.
Satan Is Broadcasting Fear
Satan is the prince of the
power of the air
as you may read for yourself in Ephesians 2:2. She
has the power to broadcast and is now broadcasting fear to all nations.
This fear was broadcast in the days of Nimrod and this fear is still
being broadcast to all the world toady. The message Satan broadcasts is
very clear: build a higher tower so no one will dare attack you. This
message has been heard by every government leader in this world
throughout history. Sometimes their particular tower takes the form of
military buildup other times this tower takes the form of peace
initiatives.
The prophet Isayah was inspired to write about the ambassadors of peace who would come from this worldly government but the bomb would be built.
Isayah 33:7-8—
7 Behold, their valiant
ones will cry outside; the ambassadors
of peace will weep bitterly.
8 The highways lie
waste; the wayfaring man ceases. He has
broken the covenant; he has despised cities; he regards no man.
Isayah 24:4-6,
12-14,17,19-20—
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.
12 In the city is left
desolation, and the gate is smitten
with destruction.
13 Then it will be like
this in the midst of the earth among
the people: it
will be like
the shaking of an
olive tree, like the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done.
14 They will lift up
their voice; they will sing for the
majesty of Yahweh; they will cry aloud from the sea.
17 Fear and the pit, and
snare, are upon
you, O inhabitant of the earth;
19 The earth is utterly
broken down, the earth is dissolved
clean, the earth is shaken exceedingly.
20 The earth will reel
to and fro like a drunkard, and will
sway like a hut. The transgression in it will be heavy upon it; it will
fall, and not rise again.
Yahweh does not bring this curse upon the world. But Yahweh has warned His creation of this destruction plainly telling us what cause it to come.
Isayah
24:5—
The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants of it, because
they have transgressed the Laws, changed the ordinance, and broken the
everlasting covenant.
Is this reason plain enough? Yahweh inspired Mosheh to tell us what brings these curses.
Deuteronomy 28:15—
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:
The Blame
Nevertheless,
after all these warnings from
Yahweh, after all the pleading Yahweh has done, Satan's preachers
continue to proclaim the same message Satan proclaim to Eve nearly
6,000 years ago. They preach that you won't die if you break those old
laws. You are going to live forever. They continually broadcast that
those old Jewish laws were nailed to the cross. No harm will come to
you, you are going to be raptured away.
These are scriptural lies proclaimed by scriptural liars. The Holy Scriptures do not teach such things. Read your Bible for yourself and you will find that Satan's' preachers have to twist the scriptures in order to make them infer these false statements. They do this to their own destruction. The apostles also had to deal with these preachers. The Apostle Kepha was speaking about the Apostle Shaul when he wrote the following scripture.
II Kepha 3:16—
As also in all his
letters, speaking in them about these
things, in which are some things hard to be understood, which those who
are unlearned and unstable twist, as they also do the other Scriptures,
to their own destruction.
Therefore, Yahweh places the
blame for the
things that are coming on false prophets and lying preachers. They
could teach the truth but they do not. Yahweh does not let us guess
about what his truth is. The scriptural definition of truth is written
in:
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!
If only these preachers had
taught the
scriptural truth to this world they would have turned the people from
Satan. Yahweh says to these false prophets and lying preachers:
Yeremyah 23:21-22—
21 I have not sent these
prophets, yet they ran; I have not
spoken of them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood
in My counsel, and had caused My
people to hear My words; the Law and the Prophets, then they would have
turned them from their evil ways, and from the evil of their doings.
As Yahweh has inspired to be written in Hosheyah 4:2 that His controversy is with the preachers of this world who will not teach His people His way. And this is where Yahweh places the blame.
Satan's preachers call the law of Yahweh a burden. They will actually attempt to convince you that the scriptures say this. But what they are truly doing is twisting the scripture to their own destruction and yours as well if you listen to them.
Peace Initiatives? Peace Movements?
Is mankind capable of bringing
peace to
this planet? The shocking answer to this question is a resounding no!
Mankind has the capability of building weapons to destroy the world.
But weapons have never brought peace, only more war. Neither have the
many peace movements, generated by concerned individuals and groups
ever really come near their goal. The following information shows that
peace movements were organized movements to win peace and have been
organized in societies since the year 1815. These facts come from Compton's
Pictured Encyclopedia,
F.E. Compton & Co., Chicago,
IL, 1948, pages 91-92. However, as you read these facts of yesteryear,
keep in mind that these peace movements as you know have not been
successful.
PEACE MOVEMENT. War has always brought sorrow and suffering to the people of belligerent nations. But its effects have become more terrible with the advance of civilization, and with the increase of population and economic interdependence of a nations. Moreover, with the use of modern science in war, the instruments of destruction have become so powerful that a great war has become a world disaster. The appalling costs in lives and property of the first World War, and the heavy economic burdens and severe suffering it left in its wake, led large groups of people in every country to feel that war must be abolished. (See World War, First.)
For centuries a few persons in various countries have worked to bring about world peace, but the modern peace movements is distinctly a product of the period since the French Revolution. The first peace society was organized in 1815 in New York City. IN 1843 the first international peace congress was held in London. By 1914 there were in the world 160 peace societies, with many branches and an enormous membership.
Serious difficulties confronted the advocates of peace. The causes of war were manifold. Nations with large and growing populations often went to war to gain territory. Others, developing commercially, went to war to gain colonies where they could buy and sell freely. Some nations went to war to free blood kinsmen from foreign rule, to gain a sure outlet to the sea, or to win some disputed strip of territory. Fear undoubtedly played an important part. When one nation saw a neighboring state growing stronger it feared for its own security. It increased its armaments and perhaps sought allies. Suspicion and distrust followed, and then some trivial incident started a great international conflict.
Finally, perhaps the most important single cause of war has been the emphasis which nations placed on their right to do as they pleased. They insisted on their sovereignty and refused to abandon any portion of their independence to the judgment or decision of their peers. They insisted that they were free to fight or to arbitrate, just as they desired. Peace advocates call this condition international anarchy.
Persons interested in the peace movement have two outstanding objectives in seeking to abolish war: to bring about settlement of international disputes by arbitration; and to bring about limitation and reduction of national armaments.Beginning of Organized Effort to Win Peace
An organized international movement in behalf of arbitration did not begin until the close of the 19th century, although nations had voluntarily tried arbitration earlier. In the United States, in 1881, Secretary of State Blaine suggested that delegates of all American republics should meet to consider how to prevent wars in the Western Hemisphere. The Pan American Union was ultimately organized, and in 1889 a Pan American Conference declared that arbitration constituted the public law of the American nations. Resort to arbitration, however, remained voluntary.
The effort made at the Hague Conferences of 1899 and 1907 to provide for compulsory arbitration failed. Resort to the Permanent Court of International Arbitration was left voluntary.
At the end of the first World War the Paris Peace Conference drafted the Covenant of the League of Nations. This was later signed by about 60 nations, which thereby agreed to submit their differences to some form of mediation or arbitrations before they resorted to war. The League of Nations, in turn established in 1920 the Permanent Court of International Justice of the purpose of settling international disputes which arose over legal questions. (See League of Nations.) Many countries, including Germany, France, and England, agreed to accept the jurisdiction of this court as compulsory.
Finally, in 1928-29, most of the great countries signed the Kellogg-Briand Pact. By this they agreed to outlaw war as an instrument of national policy and to seek pacific settlement of international disputes.Efforts to Reduce Armaments
So far, the movement toward the reduction of national armaments has produced mixed results. The first Hague Conference, called by Czar Nicholas II for the purpose of securing an international agreement to limit armaments, achieved nothing. Early in the present century, Great Britain proposed that she and Germany agree to limit the size of their navies, but Germany was unwilling to do so.
A beginning of the compulsory limitation of armaments was finally made in 1919 at the Paris Peace Conference. Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Bulgaria were compelled to agree to observe the military and naval limitations placed upon them by the peace treaties. These limitations, the Allied statesmen at Paris announced, were the first step toward "the initiation of a general limitation of armaments of all nations." Furthermore, the nations which signed the Covenant of the League of Nations recognized that the maintenance of peace required the reduction of national armaments to the lowest point consistent with national safety. The Council of the League had the responsibility of formulating reduction programs.
After ten years of preparation, a disarmament conference met at Geneva in 1932. There, hatred of war and the general demand for peace were met with each country's fear of invasion or of economic strangulation and insistence on armed security. International suspicions proved stronger than international good will; the conference ended in failure.Short-Lived Limitations On Navies
Naval limitation had for a tie proved more successful. At the Washington Conference called by President Harding, a "naval holiday" was agreed upon in 1922 by Great Britain, the United States, Japan, France, and Italy. IN 1930 Great Britain, Japan and the United States signed another treaty, but Japan did not renew it when it expired in 1936. A treaty signed at the London Conference in 1936 by France, the United States, and Great Britain, and supplementary treaties signed in 1937 by Great Britain, Russia, and Germany did not limit the size of navies, except for Germany. With army expansion already under way, a world-wide naval race began at once.
Not only were attempts to limit armaments unsuccessful, but the League of Nations proved helpless to stem the tide of aggressive nationalism in Germany, Italy, and Japan. Disregarding their obligations under the League Covenant and the Kellogg-Briand Pact, these nations seized the territory of weaker states. Finally, in 1939, Europe was again plunged into war when France and Great Britain tool up arms to restrain Germany in its career of conquest (see Europe; Word War, Second).Popular Peace Movements
While nations failed in attempts to guarantee peace by pacts and treaties, groups within most nations continued their attempts to promote international good will. Active in the United States were the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the World Peace Foundation, the National Council for prevention of War, and many other organization, including women's clubs, churches, trade unions, and groups in schools and colleges. These groups emphasized a realistic study of the causes and cures of war, and sought to build up international good will and understanding.
In 1935 the activities of munitions makers in peace and war were widely discussed. Charges were made that many firms had sold arms to both side sin time of war, had blocked disarmament efforts, and had started war scares to help sell their goods.
The second World War added new zeal to the search for a workable peace plan. The one finally adopted was the United Nations (UN), originally the United Nations Organization (UNO). The charter was signed at San Francisco in April 1945.
Although mankind has devised societies to initiate peace, he is not one step closer to peace than he was nearly 6,000 years ago. Nevertheless, when one listens to the political rhetoric of the leaders of this world, one will hear that peace is just around the corner or peace is right at our fingertips. This propaganda has been preached before each war began.
Peace will not come to earth though man's peace movements because of man's rebellion. The first recorded war between human beings was when Cain killed Abel. After this, Yahweh told Cain that he had chosen a way of life which would only bring curses and a never ending threat of war.
Genesis 4:10-16—
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.
12 When you work the
soil, it shall no longer yield its
strength to you. You shall be a fugitive, and you will be ever
searching for peace on the earth.
13 And Cain said to
Yahweh; My punishment is
greater than I can bear!
14 Surely You have
driven me out this day from the face of the
ground; I shall not be seen by Your face. I shall be a fugitive and a
vagabond on the earth, for there shall be continual war, vengeance, and
retaliation.
15 And Yahweh said to
him: It is established! Whoever kills
Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And Yahweh set a mark
on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him.
16 Then Cain went out
from the presence of Yahweh and dwelt in
the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
In these scriptures, we have read a prophecy of what government by the people would bring, when it was in rebellion against Yahweh.
Genesis 4:12—When this scripture says that Cain would be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, this did not mean that he would be scurrying around all over this planet to find a place to hide. This means that because of his rebellious way of life, against Yahweh, he would ever be searching for peace.
Genesis 4:15—The word which is translated lest in this scripture is world #1115 in Strong's Hebrew Dictionary and means continual, as in continual war and killing.
Genesis 4:11—The mark of Cain is the curse which was put upon him and everyone who has followed in his way of rebellion against Yahweh, the curse of continual war on earth. Mankind has the mark of Cain. Mankind today is ever searching for peace while they ever continue in war.
In the world we live in today, we have weapons mighty enough to wipe all life from the face of this planet. Will this awesome power be used?
Peace, Peace, True Peace?
Yahweh, the same being who foretold thousands of years ago that we would have weapons in the last days powerful enough to destroy all life, also said that mankind would use these weapons. In fact, Yahweh has said that before he steps in to save what few people there will be left alive, all hope of life mankind might have would be gone. Then, it will only be through his mighty power that He will save a few alive.
When will mankind use these devastating weapons of war, which we have stockpiled by the thousands? The Apostle Shaul was inspired to answer this question.
I Thessalonians 5:3—
For when they will say:
Peace—true peace, then
sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a woman with
child; and they will not escape.
Efforts for peace will continue for a while but only through the same means which has always brought on more war. However, the tower that has been built now is so high. Leaders of our worldly governments will actually think that all nations will be afraid to start a nuclear war due to its consequences. They will actually think they have obtained true peace and then sudden destruction will come.
Sudden destruction can come only through the use of the powerful and deadly nuclear arsenal that this whole world has at their disposal. Think about this: mankind will actually come to the point where they will think that their own lustful, evil rebellion against the way of Yahweh has brought them peace and safety, true peace. It will be then that mankind will get the shock of their lives. It will be then that mankind will get the shock of their lives—destruction, suddenly.
The Prophetic Word
Yahweh inspired His prophet of old to write about the prophetic word.
Yeremyah 23:29-40—
29 Is not My word; the Law and
the Prophets,
like a fire, says Yahweh: and like a hammer which
breaks rock to
pieces?
30 Therefore behold, I
am against the prophets, says Yahweh:
who steal My words, one from another; repeat what they have
heard others say, as if it had come to them directly from Yahweh.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets,
says Yahweh: who make up their own speeches, but then say;
This is what Yahweh says.
32 Behold, I am against those who
prophesy false dreams, says Yahweh: They tell them, and cause My people
to err; go
astray, by
their lies and recklessness.
Yet I did not send them nor command them! They are of no benefit to
this people at all! says Yahweh.
33 So when these people,
or the prophet, or a priest ask you,
saying; What is
the burden
of Yahweh? You will then say to them; You are the burden, and I will
cast you off, says Yahweh.
34 And as for the
prophet, the priest, or the people, who will
say; The prophetic word of Yahweh is a burden, I will even punish that
man and his house.
35 This is what you will
say every one to his neighbor, and
every one to his brother; What has Yahweh answered? or; What has Yahweh
spoken?
36 But the expression; The burden of
Yahweh, you will mention no more__for
the message comes to man by The Prophetic Word__for
you have perverted the words of the living Father, Yahweh of hosts our
Father.
37 This is what you will
say to the prophet; What has Yahweh
answered? or; What has Yahweh spoken?
38 But if you say; The
burden of Yahweh__
then this is what Yahweh has said: Because you mention this expression;
The burden of Yahweh, when I have sent to you, saying: Do not say; The
burden of Yahweh!
39 Therefore behold, I,
even I, will utterly forget you, and I
will forsake you and
cast you out
of My presence__you
and the city which I gave to you and your fathers;
40 And I will bring an
everlasting reproach upon you, and a
perpetual shame, which will not be forgotten.
The Prophet Yeremyah was inspired to write that the message of Yahweh comes by the Prophetic Word. It is this word, the inspired prophecies written in the scriptures, which is the last warning from Yahweh to mankind before the destruction comes. The apostles believed the prophets and trusted in the prophetic word of Yahweh.
II Kepha 1:16-21—
16 For we have not
followed cunningly devised fables, when we
made known to you the power and coming of our King, Yahshua Messiah,
but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
17 For He received from Yahweh the Father
honor and glory, when there came such a voice to Him from the Excellent
Glory: This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.
18 And this voice which
was brought from heaven we heard,
being with Him on the holy mountain.
19 We also have The
Prophetic Word made more sure, which you
do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day
dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;
20 Knowing this first:
that no prophecy of Scripture is of any
private interpretation__
21 For the prophecy did
not come in former times by the will
of man, but holy men of Yahweh spoke as they were moved
by the Holy Spirit.
Even though today we have the
prophetic
word more sure because the prophecies of Yahweh are coming to pass in
detail, Satan's preachers continue to proclaim damnable lies, Yahweh's
way of truth is defamed and those who follow these deceivers are
destroyed for lack of knowledge. Yahweh also inspired the
Apostle Kepha to write the following:
II Kepha 2:1-2—
1 But there were also
false prophets among the people then,
just as there
will be false teachers among you, who will
secretly bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Redeemer Who
bought them -- and
bringing
swift destruction upon themselves.
2 And many will follow
their destructive ways, and because of
them, the way of truth will be evil spoken of.
Nuclear War
Nuclear war does not involve just the superpowers, as many have previously believed. Nuclear war will affect every man, woman and child on the face of this planet. Every nation in this world will be involved; nation will fight against nation and kingdom will war against kingdom. This type of war will begin in the first half of the great tribulation and will continue to rage until this whole world is on the verge of extinction.
When this world could not possibly survive, millions of lies have been wasted, cities have been reduced to rubble and the atmosphere is filled with radioactive nuclear fallout, which will darken the sun and the moon, only then will Yahweh send Yahshua Messiah back to the earth. Yahshua will return immediately, but after, the great tribulation.
Mattithyah 24:29-30
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.
As scripture states, Yahshua Messiah is coming immediately after the great tribulation. Therefore, the nuclear war will have taken plac
