| Introduction: When ever you see יהוה It is translated in most bibles as LORD. It would be more properly translated as "Yahuah or Yahweh". “We Have Inherited Lies” |
Shalom, My name is Rex.
I am a Messianic believer, that is to say, that I believe that the Fathers Laws given
to the Israelites through Moses, are for us today. However, I differ from some of the
Jews in that I believe the Messiah came and died for the world so that while we who
believe in what He did, and acting upon His Commandments, shall be saved.
In today’s society, people like to have their ears tickled. If you are one of
those who likes everything sugar coated then please don’t waste your time reading what
I have to say. If you are interested in the Truth and the Meat of the Word, then read
on.
What I am presenting is scripturally, factually, and historically accurate. I am not
saying that every Christian is wrong in what they believe, but you have to remember, if
what we believe is only partially the truth, it is also partially a lie. Do we really want
only part of the truth when it comes to serving the Father? In the following pages you
will see that I have included all of the biblical and historical facts to back up what I am
presenting.
I have been a believer and studied the Scriptures for more than 33 years, and I have
come to this one conclusion. People will make the Scriptures fit their way of thinking.
This is very dangerous, not to accept the truth for what it is. The Father does not, and
will not honor our attempts to make Him in our image. He wants us ALL to come
to know Him through the sacrifice of His Son. He does not want us to only seek Him
when it is convenient for us to do so. He is a jealous Father, and said that He wants us
to be either Hot or Cold. Not just kind of warm. No sitting on the fence… He wants us
to make a decision, either we are all the way for Him, or we are not. We do not want
Him to spit us out of His mouth, and say the He never knew us. Unfortunately, this is
what is going to happen to a large percentage of “Christians”. Remember, He said that
at the Judgment, He would say "I never knew you", if we are not serving Him the way
He Commended. When our Messiah says, "I never knew you", is he going to be
speaking to non-believers? Do you think that non-believers would have any reason to
say, "Hey Lord, didn't I do this or that in your name?" No, of course not, this will be
believers that CHOSE to not keep His commandments.
I would challenge everyone who reads these passages to ONLY HAVE ONE course
of thought, and that is to seek out the truth, not from any paid man's lips that has a need to
bring more people in to the church so that he can make more money, and then say that he
is doing it for the Father in Heaven.
To do anything else could put your eternal salvation at stake. Do not believe what I or
anyone else has to say without having the facts from the scriptures and factual historical
accounts to back up what is said. Think about it, if a man is getting paid to teach you the
scriptures, and he does it as a job, where does his motivation lie? If he doesn’t teach
with style and charisma, then do you really think people today that want to be
entertained, will really want to listen to him? Would he still have a job if people were
not supporting him? Look at all of the churches in just the US alone. How many of
them are supported by good intentions and the truth? How many churches are there that
are not growing, and the ones that are, how many of them teach without worrying about
offending their congregation?
We are a people that live in an age of political correctness, even in the church. We
should be worrying more about the truth and what The Father in Heaven has to say,
rather then upsetting the people that pay our salaries, and what they think. Oh how
quickly we are willing to hand over our hard earned cash just because someone is
telling us what we want to hear, and making us FEEL good about ourselves.
How many of the prophets in the scripture got paid because they told a message that
made everyone FEEL good. In contrast, they were stoned to death, or put to death in
some other barbaric way because they where willing to tell the hard truth, the Fathers
Truth. Look at the Son of the Father that came here and DIED for us. What
message did he teach? Was He popular with the establishment and the people of the
time? Did they put Him to DEATH because he was getting rich, and the people were
following him because He was telling them what they wanted to hear so they could feel
good about them selves? If you think so, then you have never read the true meaning of
what He was teaching in the scriptures. How many times did He ever say, raise money
to build this big new church building? Actually, He said, sell your things and give the
money to the poor. Take care of the needy people around you. Don’t let someone go
hungry or be thirsty, or go without having the clothes that they need to stay warm. Love
one another, for by this you are showing Me to them.
I was watching a very popular Christian TV show here in the US, and they were
showing off all of the work that they had done in their building there, and how much
money they had spent. All of the marble columns and all of the gold inlays in the walls,
and the entire tile work that they had done. All of the shinny brass hand rails, and all of
the fiber optic displays there just for the entertainment of the people watching. They
were actually proud of all of the money they had spent there and said that it was for the
Father. The Father said that HE doesn’t dwell in houses made by man's hands. How
many people could they have fed and clothed with all of those millions of dollars they
spent on that building that THEY dwell in? How many lies are we going to listen to
before we wake up and smell the truth of what they teach us before He comes back and
pours out His judgments on us for allowing them to gain power and get rich while His
little ones suffer? Chew on that awhile…
(The Scriptures 1998+) Jer 16:19 O יהוה, my strength and my stronghold and my
refuge, in the day of distress the gentiles shall come to You (The Jews) from the ends of
the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited only falsehood, futility, and there is no
value in them.” 1 Footnote: 1See Ps. 147:19, Isa. 2:3, Isa. 60:2-3, John 4:22, Rom. 2:20,
Rom. 3:2, Rom. 9:4. :20 Would a man make mighty ones for himself, which are not
mighty ones? :21 “Therefore see, I am causing them to know, this time I cause them to
know My hand and My might. And they shall know that My Name is יהוה!”
When we, do such things, as going to church, and giving our money to the leaders of
congregations, as a replacement for taking care of the people ourselves, we are no
different than those whom Yeshua criticized. The Father wants us to make a real effort
ourselves in helping His Children, not just forking over our money and trusting that they
will do what is right.
Ezekiel 34:1-31 MKJV And the Word of Jehovah came to me, saying, (2) Son of man,
prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to them, So says the Lord
Jehovah to the shepherds: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should
not the shepherds feed the flocks? (3) You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the
wool; you kill the fat ones, but you do not feed the flock. (4) You have not made the
weak strong, nor have you healed the sick, nor have you bound up the broken. You have
not brought again those driven away, nor have you sought that which was lost; but you
have ruled them with force and with cruelty. (5) And they were scattered for lack of a
shepherd. And they became food to all the beasts of the field when they were scattered.
(6) My sheep wandered through all the mountains and on every high hill. Yea, My flock
was scattered on all the face of the earth, and none searched nor sought for them. (7)
Therefore, shepherds, hear the Word of Jehovah: (8) As I live, says the Lord Jehovah,
surely because My flock became a prey, and My flock became food to every beast of the
field, because there was no shepherd, nor did My shepherds search for My flock, but the
shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock, (9) therefore, O shepherds, hear
the Word of Jehovah. (10) So says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the
shepherds, and I will require My flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from
feeding the flock. Nor shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver
My flock from their mouth, and they will not be food to devour. (11) For so says the
Lord Jehovah: Behold, I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. (12) As a
shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his scattered sheep, so I
will seek out My sheep and will deliver them out of all places where they have been
scattered in the cloudy and dark day. (13) And I will bring them out from the peoples,
and gather them from the lands, and will bring them to their own land and feed them on
the mountain of Israel by the rivers, and in all the places of the land where people live.
(14) I will feed them in a good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of
Israel. There they shall lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture they shall feed on the
mountains of Israel. (15) I will feed My flock, and I will cause them to lie down, says
the Lord Jehovah. (16) I will seek the lost, and bring again those driven away, and will
bind up the broken, and will strengthen the sick. But I will destroy the fat and the strong;
I will feed them with judgment. (17) And you, My flock, says the Lord Jehovah:
Behold, I judge between lamb and lamb, between rams and he-goats. (18) Is it a small
thing to you to have eaten up the good pasture, but you must trample the rest of your
pastures with your feet? And to have drunk of the clear waters, but you must foul the rest
with your feet? (19) And My flock, they eat what your feet have trampled, and they
drink what your feet have fouled. (20) So the Lord Jehovah says this to them: Behold I
Myself will even judge between the fat lamb and the lean lamb. (21) Because you have
thrust with side and with shoulder, and have pushed all the weak with your horns until
you have scattered them to the outside, (22) therefore I will save My flock, and they
shall no more be a prey. And I will judge between lamb and lamb. (23) And I will set
up one Shepherd over them, and He shall feed them, My servant David. He shall feed
them, and He shall be their Shepherd. (24) And I Jehovah will be their God, and My
servant David a ruler among them. I Jehovah have spoken. (25) And I will make a
covenant of peace with them, and will send the evil beasts out of the land. And they shall
dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. (26) And I will make them, and
the places around My hill, a blessing; and I will bring down the shower in its season.
There shall be showers of blessing. (27) And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit,
and the earth shall yield her increase. And they shall be safe in their land, and they shall
know that I am Jehovah, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and have delivered
them out of the hands of those who enslaved them. (28) And no more shall they be a
prey to the nations, nor shall the beast of the land eat them. But they shall dwell safely,
and none shall terrify them. (29) And I will raise up for them a noted planting
place, and they shall never again be of those gathered by famine in the land, nor shall
they bear the shame of the nations any more. (30) And they shall know that I, Jehovah
their God, am with them, and they, the house of Israel, are My people, says the Lord
Jehovah. (31) And you My sheep, the sheep of My pasture, are men, and I am your
God, says the Lord Jehovah.
Search the Scriptures
Where is our responsibility to the ones that need our help? How can we be connected
to those that need our help when we don’t get personally involved? This, you will need
to take up with The Father in Heaven, but I would just like to ask you how you may have
felt when someone went out of their way to help you? There is something to be said
about personally helping someone, to share Yahuah’s love with them, not just with your
money, but a warm hug and someone to hear their troubles.
If you are of the thinking that you can serve and worship the Father in heaven anyway
that feels right to you, then you need to read the Bible better. The following verses
explain how He, “the Father in Heaven,” expects us to worship Him, or rather not to
worship Him.
(The Scriptures 1998+) Deu 12:30 guard yourself that you are not ensnared to follow
them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire about their
mighty ones, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their mighty ones? And let me do so
too.’1 Footnote: 1See also 18:9, Lev. 18:3, Jer.10:2, Ezek. 11:12 & 20:32, Eph. 4:17,
and 1 Peter 4:3 :31 “Do not do so to יהוה your Elohim, for every abomination which
יהוה hates they have done to their mighty ones, for they even burn their sons
and daughters in the fire to their mighty ones. :32 “All the words I am commanding
you, guard to do it – do not add to it nor take away from it. 1 Footnote: 1See also 4:2,
Prov. 30:6, Rev. 22:18-19.
(The Scriptures 1998+) Jer 7:1 The word that came to Yirmeyahu from יהוה, saying,
:2 “Stand in the gate of the House of יהוה, and you shall proclaim there this word, and
shall say, ‘Hear the word of יהוה, all you of Yehuḏah who enter in at these gates to bow
before יהוה!’ ”
:3 Thus said יהוה of hosts, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, “Make your ways and your deeds
good, then I let you dwell in this place. :4 “Do not trust in these false words, saying,
‘This is the Hĕḵal of יהוה, the Hĕḵal of יהוה, the Hĕḵal of יהוה!’
:5 “For if you truly make your ways and your deeds good, if you truly do right-ruling
between a man and his neighbour, :6 if you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless,
and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, or walk after other mighty
ones to your own evil, :7 then I shall let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave
to your fathers forever and ever. :8 “See, you are trusting in false words, which do not
profit – :9 stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, and swearing falsely, and
burning incense to Baʽal, and walking after other mighty ones you have not known. :10
“And you came and stood before Me in this house which is called by My Name, and
said, ‘We have been delivered’ – in order to do all these abominations! :11 “Has this
house, which is called by My Name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Look,
I, even I Myself have seen it,” declares יהוה.
I would also like to point out, we have no right to try making His rules into what we
feel they should be. He created us, and He makes the rules. I heard this story a long
time ago, and here is how it goes… There once was this potter that made clay pots.
One day while the potter was making a clay pot, the clay said to him, "don’t make me
like that!". The potter was perplexed. What right did a piece of dirt, “the Clay”, have
to say to me, “the Maker” “Make me like this or like that.” I decide how the clay
should look, and what its function is. I decide if it should be a glass to drink from, or if
it should be a bowl for me to eat out of. I decide how it is to serve me. I have the
power to make it however I decide, and then to utterly destroy it, and start over with
what ever design I decide. How arrogant is this clay? Guess what, we were created
out of clay! Do we really want to say to the Maker of everything, I will choose to serve
You however, I see fit?
(The Scriptures 1998+) Isa 29:16 How perverse of you! Should the potter be reckoned
as the clay? Should what is made say of its Maker, “He did not make me”? And what is
formed say of Him who formed it, “He did not understand”?
(The Scriptures 1998+) Isa 45:9 “Woe to him who strives with his Maker! (a potsherd
with the potsherds of the earth). Does clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you
making?’ Or your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’?
Jeremiah 18:1-18 MKJV The Word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah,
saying, (2) Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear
My Words. (3) Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he was working a
work on the wheel. (4) And the vessel that he made in clay was ruined in the hand
of the potter; so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make
it. (5) Then the Word of Jehovah came to me, saying, (6) O house of Israel, can I not
do with you as this potter? Says Jehovah. Behold, As the clay in the potter's hands, so
are you in My hand, O house of Israel. (7) The instant I shall speak concerning a nation,
and concerning a kingdom, to pluck it up and to pull it down, and to destroy it; (8) if
that nation, against whom I have spoken, will turn from their evil, I will repent of the
evil that I thought to do to them. (9) And the instant I shall speak concerning a nation,
and concerning a kingdom, to build it and to plant it; (10) if it does evil in My sight, not
to obey My voice, then I will repent of the good with which I said I would do them
good. (11) Now then please, speak to the men of Judah, and to the people of Jerusalem,
saying, So says Jehovah: Behold, I am forming evil against you, and devising a plan
against you. Return now, each one from his evil way, and make your ways and your
doings good. (12) And they said, There is no hope; but we will walk after our own
ways, and we will each one do according to the stubbornness of his evil heart. (13)
Therefore so says Jehovah, Ask now among the nations; who has heard the like of this?
The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing. (14) Does the snow of Lebanon
forsake the rock of the field? Or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another
place be forsaken? (15) Because My people have forgotten Me, they have burned
incense to vanity, and they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways from the old
paths, to walk in by-paths, not in the highway, (16) to make their land desolate and a
hissing forever. Everyone who passes by will be amazed, and will wag his head. (17) I
will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and
not the face, in the day of their calamity. (18) Then they said, Come and let us plot
schemes against Jeremiah. For the Law shall not perish from the priest, nor
wisdom from the wise, nor the Word from the prophet. Come and let us strike him with
the tongue, and let us not pay attention to any of his words.
I’m not here to tell you how to think or what to believe. I’m just offering you
some of the facts I have discovered, and I am offering you a glimpse into some of what I
believe. Whether or not you decide what I am presenting is for you, well, you need to
come to your own conclusion. Consider your beliefs, and how you feel the
Father wants you to serve Him, but do it with fear and trembling. Remember, He made
the rules that govern how we should live and serve Him. If we choose to ignore these
truths, then we are walking a very slippery slope. We will, every one of us, one day,
have to answer to Him, and be judged for our actions, and in the way we choose to serve
Him. Whether we “choose” to believe in Him or not, the fact is, He is. Just because
we “CHOOSE” not to believe in something, does not make it unreal. Some people, I
have heard say, “I don’t believe in abortion,” “and I am not by any means saying that I
approve of or condone abortion,” but to say that we don’t believe in something that truly
is, and factually exists, in my view, just plain foolish. Yes, I know, sometimes people
are saying they don’t agree with such practices, but if you look at my point, I think you
will understand it.
My primary goal is to be in His will, and only present His truths from the
Scriptures. I desire to reach as many souls with what He has shown me in the hopes that
as many people would come to know the Father and the Good News of His Son, Yeshua.
This is not a new message!
It’s the original message of the Father and His Son and His Apostles.
While studying over the years, I have found the “CHURCH” has not presented the whole
truth about His will for our lives, and how He wants us to live. They take little sound
bytes, “verses”, to make their religion fit their ideas of how they think we ought to live,
not His truths. The Father has called me to proclaim His truths from the Scriptures, and
to reach as many people as I can, proclaiming, “REPENT, His Kingdom is at Hand”.
Don’t be caught asleep when He returns, and unfortunately, many people will. We have
all relied on the words of paid professionals without once questioning what is coming
out of their mouths. We need to stop being respecters of men, and rely on our Father and
his WORD for our salvation. We are each responsible to work out our own salvation
with fear and trembling. It is up to each and every one of us to seek His Wisdom,
because when judgement comes we will be judged for our own actions and choices.
Those who have taught lies and taught others to do the same will have their own
judgement awaiting them. That’s in the Scriptures too, look it up… You might be
saying, “How dare you judge me”. Well, I’m not. I’m only judging the fruit. That’s in
the Scriptures too; we are to judge someone by their fruits. Look it up…
Stop, Beloved !!! I pray with all of my heart, that you will stop following these so
called leaders right off the cliff. You will be judged for how you live your life, and by
how you choose to serve Him, and His judgment is just. Just because I or someone else
tells you something is correct from the Scriptures, you have the responsibility to check it
out for yourself. Why do you suppose Yeshua said the road to destruction is so wide?
(The Scriptures 1998+) Mat 7:13 “Enter in through the narrow gate! Because the gate is
wide – and the way is broad – that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in
through it. :14 “Because the gate is narrow and the way is hard pressed 1 which leads
to life, and there are few who find it. Footnote: 1 Or the way is afflicted. :15 “But
beware of the false prophets,1 who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they
are savage wolves. Footnote: 1See v. 23 :16 “By their fruits you shall know them. Are
grapes gathered from thornbushes or figs from thistles? :17 “So every good tree yields
good fruit, but a rotten tree yields wicked fruit. :18 “A good tree is unable to yield
wicked fruit, and a rotten tree to yield good fruit. :19 “Every tree that does not bear
good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. :20 “So then, by their fruits you shall
know them – :21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the
reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens. :22
“Many shall say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your
Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your
Name?’ :23 “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you
who work lawlessness!’ 1 Footnote: 1 See v. 15.
Please, I pray, don’t let this happen to you. Search out His Truths from
His Scriptures with prayer and a humble heart, He is faithful and just, and He will
not let you down. Just ask and He will provide.
(The Scriptures 1998+) Luk 11:9 “And I say to you: ask and it shall be given to you,
seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you. :10 “For everyone asking
receives, and he who is seeking finds, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.
:11 “And what father among you whose son asks for bread shall give him a stone, or if
he asks for a fish shall give him a snake instead of a fish, :12 or if he asks for an egg
shall give him a scorpion? :13 “If you then, being wicked, know how to give good gifts
to your children, how much more shall your Father from heaven give the Set-apart Spirit
to those asking Him!”
I would also like to point out that I am not endorsing any particular religious group or
organization. If I choose to use someone’s material as a reference, it is because I have
found what they have presented is scripturally, historically, and factually correct. When
quoting other author’s work or publications, I will give credit to them.

little ones suffer? Chew on that awhile…
(The Scriptures 1998+) Jer 16:19 O יהוה, my strength and my stronghold and my
refuge, in the day of distress the gentiles shall come to You (The Jews) from the ends of
the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited only falsehood, futility, and there is no
value in them.” 1 Footnote: 1See Ps. 147:19, Isa. 2:3, Isa. 60:2-3, John 4:22, Rom. 2:20,
Rom. 3:2, Rom. 9:4. :20 Would a man make mighty ones for himself, which are not
mighty ones? :21 “Therefore see, I am causing them to know, this time I cause them to
know My hand and My might. And they shall know that My Name is יהוה!”
When we, do such things, as going to church, and giving our money to the leaders of
congregations, as a replacement for taking care of the people ourselves, we are no
different than those whom Yeshua criticized. The Father wants us to make a real effort
ourselves in helping His Children, not just forking over our money and trusting that they
will do what is right.
- If you think for even a moment that I am being hard on the
church and its leaders, check out what our Father in Heaven has to
say on this matter by His prophet Ezekiel...
Ezekiel 34:1-31 MKJV And the Word of Jehovah came to me, saying, (2) Son of man,
prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to them, So says the Lord
Jehovah to the shepherds: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should
not the shepherds feed the flocks? (3) You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the
wool; you kill the fat ones, but you do not feed the flock. (4) You have not made the
weak strong, nor have you healed the sick, nor have you bound up the broken. You have
not brought again those driven away, nor have you sought that which was lost; but you
have ruled them with force and with cruelty. (5) And they were scattered for lack of a
shepherd. And they became food to all the beasts of the field when they were scattered.
(6) My sheep wandered through all the mountains and on every high hill. Yea, My flock
was scattered on all the face of the earth, and none searched nor sought for them. (7)
Therefore, shepherds, hear the Word of Jehovah: (8) As I live, says the Lord Jehovah,
surely because My flock became a prey, and My flock became food to every beast of the
field, because there was no shepherd, nor did My shepherds search for My flock, but the
shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock, (9) therefore, O shepherds, hear
the Word of Jehovah. (10) So says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the
shepherds, and I will require My flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from
feeding the flock. Nor shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver
My flock from their mouth, and they will not be food to devour. (11) For so says the
Lord Jehovah: Behold, I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. (12) As a
shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his scattered sheep, so I
will seek out My sheep and will deliver them out of all places where they have been
scattered in the cloudy and dark day. (13) And I will bring them out from the peoples,
and gather them from the lands, and will bring them to their own land and feed them on
the mountain of Israel by the rivers, and in all the places of the land where people live.
(14) I will feed them in a good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of
Israel. There they shall lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture they shall feed on the
mountains of Israel. (15) I will feed My flock, and I will cause them to lie down, says
the Lord Jehovah. (16) I will seek the lost, and bring again those driven away, and will
bind up the broken, and will strengthen the sick. But I will destroy the fat and the strong;
I will feed them with judgment. (17) And you, My flock, says the Lord Jehovah:
Behold, I judge between lamb and lamb, between rams and he-goats. (18) Is it a small
thing to you to have eaten up the good pasture, but you must trample the rest of your
pastures with your feet? And to have drunk of the clear waters, but you must foul the rest
with your feet? (19) And My flock, they eat what your feet have trampled, and they
drink what your feet have fouled. (20) So the Lord Jehovah says this to them: Behold I
Myself will even judge between the fat lamb and the lean lamb. (21) Because you have
thrust with side and with shoulder, and have pushed all the weak with your horns until
you have scattered them to the outside, (22) therefore I will save My flock, and they
shall no more be a prey. And I will judge between lamb and lamb. (23) And I will set
up one Shepherd over them, and He shall feed them, My servant David. He shall feed
them, and He shall be their Shepherd. (24) And I Jehovah will be their God, and My
servant David a ruler among them. I Jehovah have spoken. (25) And I will make a
covenant of peace with them, and will send the evil beasts out of the land. And they shall
dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. (26) And I will make them, and
the places around My hill, a blessing; and I will bring down the shower in its season.
There shall be showers of blessing. (27) And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit,
and the earth shall yield her increase. And they shall be safe in their land, and they shall
know that I am Jehovah, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and have delivered
them out of the hands of those who enslaved them. (28) And no more shall they be a
prey to the nations, nor shall the beast of the land eat them. But they shall dwell safely,
and none shall terrify them. (29) And I will raise up for them a noted planting
place, and they shall never again be of those gathered by famine in the land, nor shall
they bear the shame of the nations any more. (30) And they shall know that I, Jehovah
their God, am with them, and they, the house of Israel, are My people, says the Lord
Jehovah. (31) And you My sheep, the sheep of My pasture, are men, and I am your
God, says the Lord Jehovah.
Search the Scriptures
Where is our responsibility to the ones that need our help? How can we be connected
to those that need our help when we don’t get personally involved? This, you will need
to take up with The Father in Heaven, but I would just like to ask you how you may have
felt when someone went out of their way to help you? There is something to be said
about personally helping someone, to share Yahuah’s love with them, not just with your
money, but a warm hug and someone to hear their troubles.
If you are of the thinking that you can serve and worship the Father in heaven anyway
that feels right to you, then you need to read the Bible better. The following verses
explain how He, “the Father in Heaven,” expects us to worship Him, or rather not to
worship Him.
(The Scriptures 1998+) Deu 12:30 guard yourself that you are not ensnared to follow
them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire about their
mighty ones, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their mighty ones? And let me do so
too.’1 Footnote: 1See also 18:9, Lev. 18:3, Jer.10:2, Ezek. 11:12 & 20:32, Eph. 4:17,
and 1 Peter 4:3 :31 “Do not do so to יהוה your Elohim, for every abomination which
יהוה hates they have done to their mighty ones, for they even burn their sons
and daughters in the fire to their mighty ones. :32 “All the words I am commanding
you, guard to do it – do not add to it nor take away from it. 1 Footnote: 1See also 4:2,
Prov. 30:6, Rev. 22:18-19.
(The Scriptures 1998+) Jer 7:1 The word that came to Yirmeyahu from יהוה, saying,
:2 “Stand in the gate of the House of יהוה, and you shall proclaim there this word, and
shall say, ‘Hear the word of יהוה, all you of Yehuḏah who enter in at these gates to bow
before יהוה!’ ”
:3 Thus said יהוה of hosts, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, “Make your ways and your deeds
good, then I let you dwell in this place. :4 “Do not trust in these false words, saying,
‘This is the Hĕḵal of יהוה, the Hĕḵal of יהוה, the Hĕḵal of יהוה!’
:5 “For if you truly make your ways and your deeds good, if you truly do right-ruling
between a man and his neighbour, :6 if you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless,
and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, or walk after other mighty
ones to your own evil, :7 then I shall let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave
to your fathers forever and ever. :8 “See, you are trusting in false words, which do not
profit – :9 stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, and swearing falsely, and
burning incense to Baʽal, and walking after other mighty ones you have not known. :10
“And you came and stood before Me in this house which is called by My Name, and
said, ‘We have been delivered’ – in order to do all these abominations! :11 “Has this
house, which is called by My Name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Look,
I, even I Myself have seen it,” declares יהוה.
I would also like to point out, we have no right to try making His rules into what we
feel they should be. He created us, and He makes the rules. I heard this story a long
time ago, and here is how it goes… There once was this potter that made clay pots.
One day while the potter was making a clay pot, the clay said to him, "don’t make me
like that!". The potter was perplexed. What right did a piece of dirt, “the Clay”, have
to say to me, “the Maker” “Make me like this or like that.” I decide how the clay
should look, and what its function is. I decide if it should be a glass to drink from, or if
it should be a bowl for me to eat out of. I decide how it is to serve me. I have the
power to make it however I decide, and then to utterly destroy it, and start over with
what ever design I decide. How arrogant is this clay? Guess what, we were created
out of clay! Do we really want to say to the Maker of everything, I will choose to serve
You however, I see fit?
(The Scriptures 1998+) Isa 29:16 How perverse of you! Should the potter be reckoned
as the clay? Should what is made say of its Maker, “He did not make me”? And what is
formed say of Him who formed it, “He did not understand”?
(The Scriptures 1998+) Isa 45:9 “Woe to him who strives with his Maker! (a potsherd
with the potsherds of the earth). Does clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you
making?’ Or your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’?
Jeremiah 18:1-18 MKJV The Word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah,
saying, (2) Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear
My Words. (3) Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he was working a
work on the wheel. (4) And the vessel that he made in clay was ruined in the hand
of the potter; so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make
it. (5) Then the Word of Jehovah came to me, saying, (6) O house of Israel, can I not
do with you as this potter? Says Jehovah. Behold, As the clay in the potter's hands, so
are you in My hand, O house of Israel. (7) The instant I shall speak concerning a nation,
and concerning a kingdom, to pluck it up and to pull it down, and to destroy it; (8) if
that nation, against whom I have spoken, will turn from their evil, I will repent of the
evil that I thought to do to them. (9) And the instant I shall speak concerning a nation,
and concerning a kingdom, to build it and to plant it; (10) if it does evil in My sight, not
to obey My voice, then I will repent of the good with which I said I would do them
good. (11) Now then please, speak to the men of Judah, and to the people of Jerusalem,
saying, So says Jehovah: Behold, I am forming evil against you, and devising a plan
against you. Return now, each one from his evil way, and make your ways and your
doings good. (12) And they said, There is no hope; but we will walk after our own
ways, and we will each one do according to the stubbornness of his evil heart. (13)
Therefore so says Jehovah, Ask now among the nations; who has heard the like of this?
The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing. (14) Does the snow of Lebanon
forsake the rock of the field? Or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another
place be forsaken? (15) Because My people have forgotten Me, they have burned
incense to vanity, and they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways from the old
paths, to walk in by-paths, not in the highway, (16) to make their land desolate and a
hissing forever. Everyone who passes by will be amazed, and will wag his head. (17) I
will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and
not the face, in the day of their calamity. (18) Then they said, Come and let us plot
schemes against Jeremiah. For the Law shall not perish from the priest, nor
wisdom from the wise, nor the Word from the prophet. Come and let us strike him with
the tongue, and let us not pay attention to any of his words.
I’m not here to tell you how to think or what to believe. I’m just offering you
some of the facts I have discovered, and I am offering you a glimpse into some of what I
believe. Whether or not you decide what I am presenting is for you, well, you need to
come to your own conclusion. Consider your beliefs, and how you feel the
Father wants you to serve Him, but do it with fear and trembling. Remember, He made
the rules that govern how we should live and serve Him. If we choose to ignore these
truths, then we are walking a very slippery slope. We will, every one of us, one day,
have to answer to Him, and be judged for our actions, and in the way we choose to serve
Him. Whether we “choose” to believe in Him or not, the fact is, He is. Just because
we “CHOOSE” not to believe in something, does not make it unreal. Some people, I
have heard say, “I don’t believe in abortion,” “and I am not by any means saying that I
approve of or condone abortion,” but to say that we don’t believe in something that truly
is, and factually exists, in my view, just plain foolish. Yes, I know, sometimes people
are saying they don’t agree with such practices, but if you look at my point, I think you
will understand it.
My primary goal is to be in His will, and only present His truths from the
Scriptures. I desire to reach as many souls with what He has shown me in the hopes that
as many people would come to know the Father and the Good News of His Son, Yeshua.
This is not a new message!
It’s the original message of the Father and His Son and His Apostles.
While studying over the years, I have found the “CHURCH” has not presented the whole
truth about His will for our lives, and how He wants us to live. They take little sound
bytes, “verses”, to make their religion fit their ideas of how they think we ought to live,
not His truths. The Father has called me to proclaim His truths from the Scriptures, and
to reach as many people as I can, proclaiming, “REPENT, His Kingdom is at Hand”.
Don’t be caught asleep when He returns, and unfortunately, many people will. We have
all relied on the words of paid professionals without once questioning what is coming
out of their mouths. We need to stop being respecters of men, and rely on our Father and
his WORD for our salvation. We are each responsible to work out our own salvation
with fear and trembling. It is up to each and every one of us to seek His Wisdom,
because when judgement comes we will be judged for our own actions and choices.
Those who have taught lies and taught others to do the same will have their own
judgement awaiting them. That’s in the Scriptures too, look it up… You might be
saying, “How dare you judge me”. Well, I’m not. I’m only judging the fruit. That’s in
the Scriptures too; we are to judge someone by their fruits. Look it up…
Stop, Beloved !!! I pray with all of my heart, that you will stop following these so
called leaders right off the cliff. You will be judged for how you live your life, and by
how you choose to serve Him, and His judgment is just. Just because I or someone else
tells you something is correct from the Scriptures, you have the responsibility to check it
out for yourself. Why do you suppose Yeshua said the road to destruction is so wide?
(The Scriptures 1998+) Mat 7:13 “Enter in through the narrow gate! Because the gate is
wide – and the way is broad – that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in
through it. :14 “Because the gate is narrow and the way is hard pressed 1 which leads
to life, and there are few who find it. Footnote: 1 Or the way is afflicted. :15 “But
beware of the false prophets,1 who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they
are savage wolves. Footnote: 1See v. 23 :16 “By their fruits you shall know them. Are
grapes gathered from thornbushes or figs from thistles? :17 “So every good tree yields
good fruit, but a rotten tree yields wicked fruit. :18 “A good tree is unable to yield
wicked fruit, and a rotten tree to yield good fruit. :19 “Every tree that does not bear
good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. :20 “So then, by their fruits you shall
know them – :21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the
reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens. :22
“Many shall say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your
Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your
Name?’ :23 “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you
who work lawlessness!’ 1 Footnote: 1 See v. 15.
- As the above verses state, there will be many people who have
believed they are on the right road when judgment comes. Remember, it will not
be the unbelievers that say to Him at the time of Judgment, "LORD, LORD, Didn't I
do this or that in Your name". Only Believers would have a reason to say such a
thing. Think about it.
Please, I pray, don’t let this happen to you. Search out His Truths from
His Scriptures with prayer and a humble heart, He is faithful and just, and He will
not let you down. Just ask and He will provide.
(The Scriptures 1998+) Luk 11:9 “And I say to you: ask and it shall be given to you,
seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you. :10 “For everyone asking
receives, and he who is seeking finds, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.
:11 “And what father among you whose son asks for bread shall give him a stone, or if
he asks for a fish shall give him a snake instead of a fish, :12 or if he asks for an egg
shall give him a scorpion? :13 “If you then, being wicked, know how to give good gifts
to your children, how much more shall your Father from heaven give the Set-apart Spirit
to those asking Him!”
- That is a promise from Him. He does not change and
- He is not a man that He could lie.
I would also like to point out that I am not endorsing any particular religious group or
organization. If I choose to use someone’s material as a reference, it is because I have
found what they have presented is scripturally, historically, and factually correct. When
quoting other author’s work or publications, I will give credit to them.
