Hidden secrets

Lately we have heard in the media of some Pastors/Priests/Rabbis been accused of raping and sexual abusing of children, girls and boys. This wickedness is happening all around the world by those who call themselves God’s teachers.

You may ask why am I writing about this seem to be a negative message. The fact is it is happening right under our noses by people we trust and look up too. I want to highlight to you although I’m sure there are many people who know or read about this wickedness of what so-called Gods people are doing. The reason is to bring to light the outwardly deceiving manner people can mislead others even those who are leaders of the faith.

We humans cannot see a person’s inner soul (heart) as to what he or she is like, we can only see the outwardly appearance. Many people and even those close to us may present to us a good appearance but inwardly that person has satan running his/her life.

What we can see after spending time with a person is the fruits they bear, be it good or bad fruits.

Yahusha Messiah says in Matthew 7:21, not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master (Lord, Lord),’ are true believers.

Only Father in heaven can see the inner soul of a person and He says in Mark 4:22 and Luke 8:17 for what is hidden shall be revealed and that which is kept secret shall be shown.

In Ezekiel 8:16 Father showed the prophet how the priests in His temple were secretly bowing and worshipping the sun. Verse 16 And He brought me into the inner court of the House of Yahuah. And there, at the door of the temple of Yahuah, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of Yahuah and their faces toward the east, and they were bowing themselves eastward to the sun.

Today this is still happening, many people are unaware of this, but it is still occurring today, nothing is new.

Another example is Jezebel the godless queen and how she deceived the King of Israel, used and manipulated many other people (1 King from 16:29 onwards).

Today the Jezebel spirit is still destroying many people’s lives. Father Yahuah will not be mocked.

A warning is given in 1 Corinthians 10:8-12 to those who mock Yahuah and Messiah Yahusha (Jesus) and what lies ahead for them. Verse 8-12 Neither should we commit whoring, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell, neither let us try (test) Messiah, as some of them also tried (tested), and were destroyed by serpents, neither grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and were destroyed by the destroyer. And all these came upon them as examples, and they were written as a warning to us, on whom the ends of the ages have come, so that he who thinks he stands, let him take heed lest he fall.

Their secrets will be revealed.

Do not sell your soul to the devil as the pleasure of this world is only short lived, the true living Messiah is an everlasting pleasure and this is waiting for us who trust and obey the Creator Yahuah.

The Living Word

If you have the Living Word of Yahuah in you then diligently guard them which Father commanded you, to do it, to love Yahuah, to walk in all His ways and to cling to Him, then Yahuah shall drive out all your enemies - Deuteronomy 11:22.

His Word is not hard for you, nor is it far off - Deuteronomy 30:11, For the Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, to do it - Deuteronomy 30:14-15.

Again, in Romans 10:8, Paul says that the Word is close by us, we need to belief the Word which we proclaim, confess the Word with our mouth the Master Messiah and believe in our hearts that Father Yahuah raised Him from the dead.

Deuteronomy 32:46-47, "Set your heart on all the words, so that you and children guard to do all the Words, because His Word is not worthless, it is your life.

Father loves all His set apart people who receives His Word - Deuteronomy 33:3.

This Word is not of man's wisdom, the Set Apart Spirit teaches this Word to us, but the normal man does not receive this Word because they are foolish - 1 Corinthians 2:13-14.

The Word of Elohim (Almighty) is living and working and is sharper than any two-edged sword - Hebrews 4:12.

The Word is Messiah and was there from the beginning, the Word is Elohim - John 1:1-17. 

Revelation 19:13, His name is called; The Word of Yahuah.

You will find His Word in scripture and you can learn His Word by studying the scripture and when you receive His Set Apart (Holy) Spirit, the Word that you studied becomes the Living Word, guided by Yahuah's Spirit and you live the Word.

Many people will study the word but they do not live the word.

End Times

Many books have been written regarding the end of the world as we know it. You can search the internet about the end times and you will find many websites/blogs discussing the end of this age. I have read many articles and listen to many people talking about the end. I have no doubt that the end of the age is close and our Messiah will be returning soon as He promised He would.

I have studied the 4 gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John with regards to the chapter about Messiah Yahusha (Jesus) talking about the signs of the end. I would like to share this chapter (from each disciple’s view) as I read and understand them.

Please note the Set-apart Spirit (Holy) is our guidance and each one of us who has received the Spirit must ask and listen to His voice as the Spirit is our helper to the truth. Please test everything that you read/hear and pray the Set-apart Spirit gives you guidance. Remember Messiah said the Spirit of Yahuah was to be our helper.

The message that Messiah spoke to the disciples is found in Matthew 24, Mark 13 & Luke 21.

Messiah said the Temple that was built for worshipping Yahuah would be destroyed sometime after He would leave, no stone will be left on top of each other. The reason the temple of stone was destroyed is that our bodies become the living temple and the Spirit of Yahuah (Holy Spirit) lives in our temple and we worship Him in spirit. This was fulfilled when the temple of stone was destroyed in AD 70.

Then before Messiah said anything about the signs, He said something very important to the disciples which is also very important to us today.

He said be careful that no one deceives you because many will come in My Name and will deceive you even the people that follow Messiah truly. DO NOT LET ANYONE DECEIVE YOU. Trust only His Word and listen to the Set-apart Spirit only, pray that Yahuah show you the truth.

Let me repeat what Messiah said; be aware that no one deceives you. This warning must be taken very seriously as there are many people out there who are wolves in sheep clothing.

Many people are coming in His Name preaching falsehood. Some twist the scripture to suite their ways. Some add a little scripture here and there just to tickle the hear. Many priests/pastors preach Sundays in a church a false gospel which could be known or unknown to them as they in turn are also been deceived. Preaching the true scripture and then adding a bit of falsehood to it does not make it truth. The scripture is clear that we cannot add or remove from the scripture. The scripture has been written by His appointed prophets for us to know Him and His ways and we have no right to add/remove from it.

Of cause satan has used his wicked people to try and change scripture and there are translations out their which is false but Yahuah will always makes sure the truth is revealed. It is very important to read and study the scriptures from Genesis to Revelation to ensure nobody deceives you.

Matthew 24:5, "Take heed that no one leads you astray (deceive). "For many shall come in My Name, saying, 'I am the Messiah,' and they shall lead many astray." Luke says the same as Matthew and Mark but adds the following in 21:8, for many shall come in My Name, saying, 'I am,' and 'The time is near.'

So many false people will come in His Name and also say when the time is or even give dates.

Now the signs Messiah said we should look out for. Just keep in mind our time is not the same as Yahuah's time. When Yahuah gives a time, it could be a day or it could be 1000 years. Abba Father does not work according to the worldly time, He has His own time.

"And you shall begin to hear of fighting and reports of fighting. See that you are not troubled, for these have to take place, but the end is not yet. Nations/reigns will fight each other and there shall be earthquakes, scarcities of food, deadly diseases and disturbances. These will only be the beginning of birth pains - Matthew 24:6-8, Mark 13:7-8, Luke21:10-11.

Look at today, fighting between nations are occurring all around the globe, all over the world there are wars or conflicts, in the same way many areas have droughts with little water or food and earthquakes have increased. New diseases are popping up all over. Messiah says this is just the beginning of worse to come.

Matthew 24:9, Mark 13:9, Luke 21:12, Many believers shall be delivered up for affliction and be killed. Believers shall be hated by many nations because of Messiah's Name. Many believers will stumble and even be persecuted or beaten or put in prisons by other people and close family. This is also already happening in many countries.

Luke 21:13, "And it shall turn out to you for a witness. This will be a witness to you that the end is close.

Matthew 21:11, "And many false prophets shall rise up and lead many astray. How many false prophets/teachers/pastors have you seen or read about, there are many and this is still increasing. Churches are teaching and preaching false gospels, homosexuality is now being preached and is now acceptable in many of the Christian churches. The Bible says homosexuality is an abomination to Heavenly Father Yahuah.

Matthew 21:12; Lawlessness shall increase and love shall become cold. Real love between couples, parents, children is becoming less true, it's becoming cold love. We see today that evil is increasing and evil is called good and good is called evil.

Mark 13:11, Luke 21:15, "And when they lead you away and persecute you, do not worry what you are to say. But whatever is given to you to say, speak it, for the Set-apart Spirit (Holy Spirit) will give you guidance to speak, this will not come from you. The Set-apart Spirit will give you wisdom to speak. Trust only the Almighty Creator.

There are very scary words spoken by Messiah in Matthew 24:10, Mark 13:12, Luke 21:16, "And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and a father his child. Children shall rise up against parents and shall put them to death. Many shall hate one another. Imagine being betrayed by your own child or a child by his parent. Discipline is going out of the window and getting worse. Remember Messiah said this is only the beginning of the birth pains. Woman who have gone through birth pains know the pain becomes worse. This all happens because of belief in Messiah.

Many false prophets will increase in this time and lead many astray. Lawlessness shall increase and the love of many shall become cold.

But here is a promise Messiah Yahusha (Jesus) makes to everyone that know His Name, in Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13, "But he who shall endure to the end shall be saved. The ones that know His Name and obey Him will be saved.

Luke 21:18, Messiah says not a hair on a head of a believer shall be lost at all. We will only have life by our endurance!

Matthew 24:14, "And this Good News (the gospel of Messiah) of the reign (Yahuah's kingdom) shall be proclaimed in all the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end shall come.

The question is, which part of the world has not heard about the Kingdom of Yahuah, the good news of Messiah. I believe with all the technology today, like Internet, cell phones, media, TV and other, almost all, if not all nations have heard about the Kingdom and Messiah.

Look at where you are today and recall what Messiah said in the previous parts preceding this one. Aren't we now living in the time of all that He said will happen and is it not becoming worse?

But still worse things must happen before Messiah comes back to judge the world and set-up His reign (Kingdom).

The following verses are when the "big trouble" starts! As with a woman in labour as she progresses the birth pains become more intense and more frequent, as the birth approaches this is when the greatest pain occurs!

Matthew 24:15 & Mark 13:14, "So when you see the abomination that lays waste,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, set up in the set-apart place" - he who reads, let him understand.

Luke 21:20, says when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that it's laying waste is near.

It is "Jacob's trouble" - Jeremiah 30:5, a time of terrible suffering. Messiah then warns the people that are in Judah, in Jerusalem to flee to the mountains - Matt 24:16, Mark 13:14, Luke 21:21.

Messiah also says in Matt 24:17-20, Mark 13:15-18, Luke 21:21; those who are on the house roofs, or in the fields should not go into the house to get clothes or food but to run to the mountains. Woe to those who are pregnant, meaning it is going to be difficult for them to flee. "And pray that you do not have to flee in the winter or when it is the Sabbath.

Messiah says there shall be great distress (pressure), such as has not been since the beginning of the world (creation) until now, no, nor ever shall be - Matt 24:21, Mark 13:19, Luke 21:22-23.

What is going to happen at that time will be worse than the nuclear bombing of the Japanese towns in world war 2. Messiah says it would be the worst thing the world has EVER seen. But the ones that follow Him truly and obey Him, not one hair on his/her head will be touched.

Messiah said that very bad things will happen at that time, it will be the worst the world has ever experienced or will ever experience!

Matthew 24:22, Mark 13:20; Messiah says that those bad days of distress shall be shortened as no person would make it through the terrible time, but for the sake of the chosen ones (true believers) those days shall be shortened. He promises to make the days shorter to save His chosen people. We have been taught that the "rapture" will occur before these terrible things happen and the believers will be taken away by Messiah. This is one of satan's lies, as the scripture says that the true believers will go through the distress.

Remember Messiah himself says that His chosen ones will go through the distress, and not be taken away. DO NOT BE DECEIVED! I have read many books and watched many dvd's with regards to the rapture. All of them talk about the believers been taken (raptured) away before the terrible distress.  A well-known DVD series is called "Left Behind" which is about believers been raptured and the sinners/unbelievers are left behind to go through the distress. This is all false, a lie from satan, nowhere in the Bible does it say this. Please read the Bible so that you see/hear it for yourself.

In the next few verses Messiah warns us of a huge lie that will happen before He comes back. We have been deceived in the past over many things and are still been deceived today many times over things which we do not know about. The biggest deception is still to happen, it is coming and many people, even true believers will fall for this lie.

Be prepared!

"If anyone then says to you, 'Look, here is the Messiah!' or 'There!' do not believe "- Matthew 24:24, Mark 13:21. "For false messiahs and false prophets shall rise and show signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the true believers "-Mark 13:22, Matt 24:24.

I believe this event will be the biggest deception (lie) that satan and his wicked people will pull off! With the advanced technology in this time, that is still being advanced as we speak...will be used by the wicked to make signs and wonders which we have never seen before. People will make a person come out of the sky as if it is the real thing and they will tell us it is the Messiah.

Messiah says, "See, I have forewarned you - Matt 24:25, Mark 13:23. When this deception happens and you think it is truly the Messiah, remember what He said, I warn you of this.

I want to take you to Paul's (Shaul) writings in 2 Thessalonians 2 as I believe his writing is very important as it ties in with what Messiah said to the disciples. Paul says here in verse 2 that we must not become easily unsettled in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as if the day of Yahuah has come.

Here in 2 Thess. 2:3, Paul says exactly what Messiah says - Let no one deceive you in any way.... Messiah has warned us 3 x and Paul warn us again, to watch out that you are not deceived.

Fellow believers, please take this seriously! Satan comes only to deceive, steal and to kill.

Paul says the falling away must first take place and the man of lawlessness is to be revealed (false messiah), who makes him above the Almighty Heavenly Father. Many people will worship this false person - 2 Thess. 2:3-4.

The falling away means people, church, believers...that once believed in the Messiah, will no longer believe (they will "fall away"). This is already happening and it is becoming worse.

Trust and obey is talked about but that is where it stops, lip talking only! Messiah said the gate to the Kingdom is narrow and very few are going to find it.

Paul's letter gives us some very important information about what will happen in that day.

Paul (Shaul) said the secret (mystery) of lawlessness (iniquity) is already at work...... 2 Thessalonians 2:7.

Who is the mystery of lawlessness - it is Babylon the great, the mother of harlots (whores) - Revelation 17:5.

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of satan, with all power and signs and wonders of falsehood - 2 Thess. 2:9.

Paul says exactly what Messiah said; the anti-messiah will show many signs which will be believed by many. Paul says that those who fall for these deceits and unrighteousness (sin) will be those that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved - 2 Thess. 2:10.

Basically, what is said here is that anybody that hears the truth but does not accept and live it but accepts the deceit of satan will not be saved. Truth sets you free!

Have you received the truth and what are you doing with the truth?

Remember if you have the truth, then you will not be deceived! Elohim will send those who do not love the truth, a delusion, for them to believe a lie (falsehood) - 2 Thess. 2:11.

Why would Heavenly Father do this? In order that all should (accepted the lie) be judged who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness (love sin) - 2 Thess. 2:12.

Back to what the Messiah said. "But in those days, after the distress (when the terrible time is over), the sun and moon will be darkened (no light) and stars of heaven shall fall and powers in the heavens shall be shaken - Mark 13:24-25, Matt 24:29, Isaiah 13:10, Isaiah 34:4, Haggai 2:6,21.

In this period the sun will be in darkness and no light shine from the moon, complete darkness.

Luke 21:25-26, says there will be anxiety, men will faint (hearts fail) from fear. Then only after all this, the Messiah will come with His army of angels.

Messiah will be doing the following to the wicked and for the saved ones.

"And then they shall see the Son of Adam (Messiah) coming in the clouds with much power and esteem - Mark 13:26, Matt 24:30, Luke 21:27.

Daniel 7:13-14 prophesy of Messiah coming on the clouds to reign over the earth = with power and esteem.

Luke 21:28, "And when these matters begin to take place, look up, because your redemption draws near." I have always wondered how I will know that this is the true Messiah and how will I know to go with Him when He appears in the sky.

This is going to be a huge occasion and I was always worried that I would miss it until I read the following scripture telling me how it will happen.

 

love this next verse and I have no worries after reading what Messiah said in the next verse. "And He (Messiah) shall send His messengers (Angels) with a great sound of a trumpet, and THEY SHALL GATHER (assemble) TOGETHER Messiah's chosen ones from the 4 winds (corners), from the farthest part of the earth to the farthest part of heaven - Matt 24:31, Mark 13:27, Isaiah 27:13,  Daniel 7:2. Deut. 30:4 & Zech. 2:6, Yahuah says He will gather us from far and bring us back.

We need not do anything; He will gather us - HalleluYah! Messiah then tells us the parable of the fig tree, in Matt 24:32-33, Mark 13:28-29, Luke 21:29-31, which I will not discuss as it is a message on its own but in a nutshell, it is about when the time draws near and how to look out for it.

Messiah says that this generation shall by no means pass away until all this takes place. He says the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but His words shall by no means pass away - Matt 24:34-35, Mark 13:30-31, Luke 21:32-33. Read those verses again; His word which is the Torah, the prophesy and the 10 Commandments shall not be taken away or changed.

"But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, but My Father only - Matt 24:36, Mark 13:32.

We have been taught that all people, believers and non-believers do not know when He is coming. If you read further in Matthew you will notice that it is the non-believers or the lukewarm believers that will not know.

Matt 24:37-39, Messiah said it will be the same as in Noah's day, days before the flood people where parting, drinking and eating, marrying and getting married (meaning everyone was carrying on with life as usual), Noah did warn them because he knew when the flood would happen. They did not realize until the flood took them away....so it shall be when Messiah comes!

Do not be a fence sitter but follow Him in obedience then you will know the time. Unfortunately, most people are more interested in the world and its entertainment! Watch and be ready.

Matt 24:40-41, tells us how the believers will be gathered; two shall be in the field, the one is taken (believer) and the one is left (unbeliever). Two women are grinding at the mill, one is taken (believer) and one is left (unbeliever). Notice this happens after the tribulation (great distress from Matt 24:21) not before.

"And know this, that if the master (owner) of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into - Matt 24:43. What does this verse say? Be ready and prepared so that you can prevent the thief of breaking in, because of this, be ready too, for the Messiah is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him.

Messiah said in the beginning and the middle of Matt 24, Mark 13 & Luke 21 that we should be aware not to be deceived! At the end of these chapters Messiah says "Watch and be prepared!"

Mark 13:33, "Take heed, watch and pray, for you do not know when the time is - as a man going away (on business), leaving his house and given authority to his servants, and each his work (tasks), and has commanded the doorkeeper to watch. "Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming - in the evening or at midnight, or in the morning, lest, coming suddenly, he should find you sleeping - Mark 13:34-36.

So, are you watching or are you going to be found asleep??

Read Matt 24:45-51 here it talks about the servants and their master, the servants are eating, drinking cavorting with drunkards...the master of the servants comes on a day when they do not know or expect, to find them all parting. The master shall cut them off ...then there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. But it will be too late.

Luke 21:34-36, says it more clearly; "And take heed to yourselves, least your hearts be weighed down by gluttony, and drunkenness (can also mean - drugged), and worries of this life, and that day come on you suddenly. "For it shall come as a snare on all those dwelling on this earth. "Watch then at all the times, and pray that you be counted worthy to escape all this about to take place, and stand before the Son of Adam (the Messiah)."

The question is; does Messiah see you worthy to be called a chosen one!

When the terrible distress starts taking place; are you sure you are watching and ready for what is coming, it can happen very quickly.

Do not delay, if you have not given your whole being to Yahuah, I pray that you open up your heart to Him, so that He can call you and give His Set-apart Spirit (Holy Spirit).

The end of times is going to be nasty and everyone is going to go through it.

Please study these chapters for yourself. Do not be deceived! Watch and pray!

Heavenly minded

Yahuah (Heavenly Father) and Yahusha (Jesus) should be our main goal; even Yahusha had this in mind for us, John 17:1-3 Yahusha said these words, and lifted up His eyes to the heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come. Esteem Your Son, so that Your Son also might esteem You, as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give everlasting life to all whom You have given Him. “And this is everlasting life, that they should know You, the only true Elohim, and Yahusha Messiah whom You have sent.

We are to be Heavenly Minded, where Yahuah and Yahusha are. Since, then, you have been raised with Messiah and are to set your hearts on things above, where Messiah is, seated at the right hand of Yahuah.

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things - Colossians 3:1–2.

We are to have priorities to be successful. Getting our life in line with Yahuah must be a priority. The things we desire are of the heart, and the things we think about are of the mind. We are to have both of these set on Yahuah and His ways which are spiritual and are eternal.

Trust in Yahuah with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear Yahuah and depart from evil - Proverbs 3:5–7.

We are to apply our lives in accordance with the Word of Yahuah, which Yahusha did, and not worry so much about physical things.

But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own - Matthew 6:33–34.

Yahusha had the full understanding that physical life is temporary and has troubles in it, but He also understood that the things we need will be provided to us, so we don't need to worry.

It may take time, but, if we have our priorities set up on Yahuah and His ways, then Yahuah Himself will take care of us as a Father cares for His children.

He is our Comforter.

First born

Has the church replaced Israel? Christians are told the church has replaced Israel – from Old Testament to New Testament. Let me be clear before I continue: The Israel I’m taking about is the one mentioned in the Bible not the one they call the state of Israel.

Let’s continue: The leaders of the church have preached a huge error all through history. Let me explain!

Yahuah promised Abraham (Genesis 14:13) his seed will be blessed. Abraham's seed went through Isaac, and then to Jacob (Yahuah changed Jacob’s name to Israel - Genesis 32:28).

Israel (Jacob) had 12 sons which became known as the children of Israel. Israel as a nation became slaves in Egypt and Yahuah promised to save them when they cried out to Him - Exodus 2:23-24.

Yahuah said in Exodus 3:10, that the children of Israel are His people. Yahuah said in Exodus 3:18, that He is the Elohim of the Hebrews (Israel). In Exodus 4:22, Yahuah says that Israel is His son, His first-born. Moses said to Pharaoh that Yahuah is Elohim of Israel - Exodus 5:1.

The history tells us that the children of Israel sinned against Yahuah and after many warnings from Yahuah through His sent prophets, He scattered them out of the land He promised to them. The house of Israel (Northern tribes) and house of Judah (Southern tribes) at different times were removed out of the promised land and scattered to different parts of the world.

   

Remember Yahuah made a promise that Israel will be blessed always and we know that Yahuah never breaks promises. Now the house of Judah has returned out of captivity but the Northern 10 tribes are still scattered to this day. Yahusha (Jesus) Messiah was sent to redeem Israel. Messiah (Jesus) said in Matthew 15:24, that He was sent for the lost sheep of Israel and in Matthew 10:5, gave a command to the disciples to only go preach to the lost sheep of Israel (lost 10 tribes). He did not say anything about a church replacing Israel.

This is confirmed in Romans 11:1-2, when Sha'ul (Paul) says the following; has Elohim (Almighty) rejected His people? LET IT NOT BE! For I also am of Israel.......

Elohim has not rejected His people. In Romans 11:26, And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is been written (written by the prophets). Do you notice the error the church leaders are speaking? Do you believe the Bible is the word and the truth of Elohim, I do! All Israel will be saved not just one tribe – Judah.

The temple (church as many people know it) is our body and we worship Him in spirit. So, His Spirit comes into our temple (church) to teach us and guide us to be perfect in Messiah Yahusha (Jesus).

Who are the lost sheep? I believe it is all those scattered to the four corners of the world which could be you and me, the wild olive branches of Romans 11:16-22, that Messiah spoke about in Matthew. When we accept Messiah Yahusha (Jesus) as our Savior, we became part of Israel (grafted in).

A gentle cannot enter into the kingdom of Yahauh, only Israel. No one in Messiah is a gentile – read the following scripture verses;

Ephesians 2:11-17, Therefore remember that you, once gentiles in the flesh, who are called ‘the uncircumcision’ by what is called ‘the circumcision’ made in the flesh by hands, that at that time you were without Messiah, excluded from the citizenship of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no expectation and without Elohim in the world. But now in Messiah Yahusha you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah. For He is our peace, who has made both one, and having broken down the partition of the barrier, having abolished in His flesh the enmity – the Torah of the commands in dogma – so as to create in Himself one renewed man from the two, thus making peace, and to completely restore to favour both of them unto Elohim in one body through the stake, having destroyed the enmity by it. And having come, He brought as Good News peace to you who were far off, and peace to those near. (The enmity has been done away with – not the commands of Yahuah!)

Ephesians 4:17 So this I say, and witness in the Master, that you should no longer walk as the gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, …

1 Peter 4:3 For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the desire of the gentiles, having walked in indecencies, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, wild parties, and abominable idolatries, …

1 Corinthians 12:2 You know that you were gentiles, led away to the dumb idols, even as you might be led. Notice the past tense: “were.”

Jeremiah 10:2 Thus said Yahuah, “Do not learn the way of the gentiles, and do not be awed by the signs of the heavens, for the gentiles are awed by them.

Yahuah scattered His people among the gentiles, and He will bring His people back from among the gentiles (Read Romans 11 to understand how we are grafted into Israel). Israel has been "wild olive branches," but, they are being re-grafted into the natural olive tree once again by Yahuah. 

Yahuah never breaks a covenant (promise) and the covenant (promise) was never made with a gentle or a church.

The temple of stone in Jerusalem was destroyed because Messiah changed this when He returned to heaven. He became the High Priest and the offered Lamb replacing the old system of worshipping and offering. We worship Him now in Spirit and truth - John 4:23-24.

Our body is the temple and Messiah is the offering lamb.

This will be confusing for many because we are been taught otherwise but this is no secret as all is written in the scriptures, we must just pick up the Bible and read it. The problem is no one reads the scripture and some people are being told not to read the Old Testament because it is old and also Israel is replaced by the church but they do not realize that to understand the New Testament (renewed covenant) you have to read and understand the Old Testament, because the prophets speak about the Messiah.

Revelation 21:12 talks about the 12 gates that will be on the new earth and the 12 gates will have the names of Israel.

No church names!

Ezekiel 47:22-23, tells us that strangers that have accepted the terms of Yahuah's covenant will be part of the tribes of Israel. Yahuah gives Israel a command to accept the strangers into their tribe and to give of the inheritance to them.

Nowhere does it say anything about a church replacing Israel.

Now if the above have not convict you that the church has not replaced Israel then the next Scripture (Bible) verse will!

Church leaders teach that because Israel sinned against Yahuah, He replaced them with the church.

It is also being taught that the Old Testament was about Israel and the law which is old (not important anymore) and the New Testament is all about the church and grace.

When I read this one verse in the New Testament, I realize the teachings of the church fathers are in error.

Listen carefully to what the apostle Luke says; "And He (Messiah Yahusha (Jesus)) shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and there shall be no end to His reign." Let me say this again but this time I will make a slight change to one word which will open your eyes (note, not changing scripture). "And He (Messiah) shall reign over the house of ISRAEL (Jacob) forever, and there shall be no end to His Kingdom - Luke 1:33.

Remember Jacob's name was changed to Israel. Does Messiah say that He will reign over the house of the church, no He does not. So why are they teaching this error.

Our forefathers have taught us lies and Yahuah says "My people have perished for lack of knowledge.... Hosea 4:6.

Who is Yahuah’s people? The 12 tribes of Israel. Not one tribe or two tribes but 12 tribes. And not just the tribe of Judah but all tribes united as Israel.

And we say or will say the same as what Jeremiah said in Jeremiah 16:19, "Our fathers have inherited only falsehood, futility, and there is no value in them."

In many places in scripture it talks about nations, strangers and foreigners joining to Israel but I have not read anywhere in scripture where it says that the church replaces Israel or Israel has accepted the church.

If you want to worship the true Creator of the scripture, the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob or Israel then you do have to abide by His covenant.

Messiah Yahusha (Jesus) says He will only reign over the house of Israel.

Below are verses from the Old and New Testament showing that the Messiah of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel) is the Messiah of Israel.

A prophesy right out of the Old Testament, confirming what Luke said in 1:33. For a child is born unto us, a Son is given unto us, and the rule is on His shoulder. And His Name is called Wonder, Counsellor, Strong El, Father of Continuity, Prince of Peace - Isaiah 9:6.

Who is this which Isaiah is talking about? It is the same person Luke is mentioning in 1:33 - The King of Israel, the savior, the true Messiah.

No church mentioned here.

Isaiah says further in verse 7, Of the increase of His rule and peace there is no end, upon the throne of David and over His reign, to establish it and sustain it with right-ruling and with righteousness from now on, even forever. The ardour of Yahuah of hosts does this.

This is Messiah of Israel who will reign over the throne of David (David was a king of Israel) forever and ever.

Again, no mention of a church.

The disciples asked Yahusha Messiah before He went back to heaven the following in Acts 1:6, "Master, would You at this time restore the reign to Israel?" Messiah said that the disciples do not need to know the times when this will happen but they need to go and witness to all the earth - Acts 1:7-8.

Isaiah 16:5, "And in loving-commitment the throne shall be established. And One (Messiah) shall sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging and seeking right-ruling......

Jeremiah 23:3, "Therefore I shall gather the remnant of My flock out of all the lands where I have driven them.... (Israel scattered to all corners of the earth).

Jeremiah 23:4 “And I shall raise up shepherds over them, and they shall feed them. And they shall fear no more, nor be discouraged, nor shall they be lacking,” declares Yahuah.

Verse 5-6, "See, the days are coming," declares Yahuah, "when I shall raise for David a Branch of righteousness, and a King shall reign and act wisely, and shall do right-ruling and righteousness in the earth. In His days Judah shall be saved and Israel dwell safely......

The Branch is Yahusha Messiah.

Read the following prophets from Yahuah: it is about how Israel will come back together with Messiah as King.

Jeremiah 30:9-11 ‘And they shall serve Yahuah their Elohim and David their sovereign, whom I raise up for them. ‘And you, do not fear, O Jacob My servant,’ declares Yahuah, ‘nor be discouraged, O Israel. For look, I am saving you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity. And Jacob shall return, and have rest and be at ease, with no one to trouble him. ‘For I am with you,’ declares Yahuah, ‘to save you. Though I make a complete end of all gentiles where I have scattered you, yet I do not make a complete end of you. But I shall reprove you in judgment, and by no means leave you unpunished.’

Ezekiel 37:21-28, “And speak to them, ‘Thus said the Master Yahuah, “See, I am taking the children of Israel from among the gentiles, wherever they have gone, and shall gather them from all around, and I shall bring them into their land. “And I shall make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. And one sovereign shall be sovereign over them all, and let them no longer be two nations, and let them no longer be divided into two reigns. “And they shall no longer defile themselves with their idols, nor with their disgusting matters, nor with any of their transgressions. And I shall save them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and I shall cleanse them. And they shall be My people, and I be their Elohim, while David My servant is sovereign over them. And they shall all have one shepherd and walk in My right-rulings and guard My laws, and shall do them. “And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt. And they shall dwell in it, they and their children and their children’s children, forever, and My servant David be their prince forever. “And I shall make a covenant of peace with them – an everlasting covenant it is with them. And I shall place them and increase them, and shall place My set-apart place in their midst, forever. “And My Dwelling Place (temple) shall be over them. And I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people. “And the gentiles shall know that I, Yahuah, am setting Israel apart, when My set-apart place is in their midst – forever.” ’ ”

Daniel 7:18-27, ‘Then the set-apart ones of the Most High shall receive the reign, and possess the reign forever, even forever and ever.’ “Then I desired for certainty concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, very fearsome, with its teeth of iron and its nails of bronze, which devoured, crushed, and trampled down the rest with its feet, and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and of the other horn that came up, before which three fell – this horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke great words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows. “I was looking, and this horn was fighting against the set-apart ones, and was prevailing against them, until the Ancient of Days came, and right-ruling was given to the set-apart ones of the Most High, and the time came and the set-apart ones took possession of the reign. “This is what he said, ‘The fourth beast is the fourth reign on earth, which is different from all other reigns, and it devours all the earth, tramples it down and crushes it. ‘And the ten horns are ten sovereigns from this reign. They shall rise, and another shall rise after them, and it is different from the first ones, and it humbles three sovereigns, and it speaks words against the Most High, and it wears out the set-apart ones of the Most High, and it intends to change appointed times c and law, and they are given into its hand for a time and times and half a time. ‘But the Judgement shall sit, and they shall take away its rule, to cut off and to destroy, until the end. ‘And the reign, and the rulership, and the greatness of the reigns under all the heavens, shall be given to the people, the set-apart ones of the Most High. His reign is an everlasting reign, and all rulerships shall serve and obey Him.’ “This is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly alarmed me, and my colour changed. And I kept the matter in my heart.”

Finally, Daniel 2:44, In the days to come, Yahuah shall set up a reign which shall never be destroyed, nor the reign pass on to other people - it crushes and ends all other reigns and shall stand forever.

Revelation 11:15, And the 7th Angel sounded, and there came to be loud voices in the heaven, saying, "The reign of this world has become the reign of our Master, and of His Messiah, and He shall reign forever and ever!"

There is no church, it is Messiah with Israel.

You and I who have belief in Messiah Yahusha (Jesus) and have accepted the covenant promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are Israel.

Now on the opposite side of the church is the state of Israel and the rabbinical religion called Judaism. Their bible is called the Talmud.

 This will surprise you but there is a difference between the state of Israel and the Israel of the Bible, they are miles apart, they may seem the same with names and places but they are not the same.

The Christian church, preaches a mixture of truth and a lie from the Bible, and so does Rabbinical Judaism, mix truth with lies.

Rabbinical Judaism is similar to the Pharisees of the scriptures, when Messiah Yahusha (Jesus) walked on earth. Messiah called them "hypocrites," because they added/deleted from the true Scriptures and had many man-made traditions which just placed burdens onto the people.

This has not changed from those days. When people talk about Israel and Messiah coming for His lost sheep, it is not about the state of Israel.

Many Christians are leaving church realizing they have been lied too, but they walk straight into another bigger lie, thinking the religion of Judaism is the truth.

Do not be deceived, satan will do everything in his power to deceive people and keep them away from the truth of the Almighty Creator.

Do not fall for his lies and listen not to man and his traditions, they do not come from Heavenly Father Yahuah.

Do not come out of one tradition made by man just to go back into another tradition made by man.

Heavenly Father Yahuah and His Son Yahusha (Jesus), the Creator of the universe is not a religion.
