Nations

The TRUE BELIEVER is repeatedly admonished not to learn the way of the gentiles/nations (Heathens). Read: Leviticus 18:3, ‘Do not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you dwelt. And do not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, and do not walk in their laws. Deuteronomy 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.’ Deuteronomy 18:9, “When you come into the land which Yahuah your Elohim is giving you, do not learn to do according to the abominations of those gentiles. 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. Ezekiel 11:12, “And you shall know that I am Yahuah, for you have not walked in My laws nor executed My right-rulings, but have done according to the rulings of the gentiles which are all around you.” ’ ” Ezekiel 18:9, if he walks in My laws, and he has guarded My right-rulings in truth – he is righteous, he shall certainly live!” declares the Master Yahuah. Micah 4:5 For all the peoples walk, each one in the name of his mighty one, but we walk in the Name of Yahuah our Elohim forever and ever.

And those who were gentiles before they came to conversion are admonished to “no longer walk as the gentiles walk.” 1 Corinthians 12:2, You know that you were gentiles, led away to the dumb idols, even as you might be led. 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, …

Therefore, those who were gentiles, but came to belief, who are grafted in among Israel, simply have to unlearn their old gentile ways and “come to the light”, and “walk in the light” of the renewed Jerusalem. Read Romans 11:17-24.  Isaiah 60:3 “And the strength of Pharaoh shall become your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion. Revelation 21:24 And the gentiles, of those who are saved, shall walk in its light, and the sovereigns of the earth bring their esteem into it.

Isaiah 56:6 “Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to Yahuah, to serve Him, and to love the Name of Yahuah, to be His servants, all who guard the Sabbath, and not profane it, and hold fast to My covenant –

The covenant is between Father and Israel which includes the renewed covenant. They shall come to the house of the Elohim of Jacob, to Jerusalem and be taught the ways of Elohim, the Torah (commands), the Word of Yahuah (Isaiah 2:2-3, Micah 4:2).

What is the future of this unrepentant gentile world in which we live, who are outside the covenant of Yahuah?

None at all.

Read this in Isaiah 34:2-3, For the displeasure of Yahuah is against all the gentiles, and His wrath against all their divisions. He shall put them under the ban, He shall give them over to the slaughter, and their slain be thrown out, and their stench rise from their corpses. And mountains shall be melted with their blood.

Jeremiah 25:26-33, and all the sovereigns of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the reigns of the earth which are on the face of the ground. Also the sovereign of Sheshak shall drink after them. “And you shall say to them, ‘Thus said Yahuah of hosts, the Elohim of Israel, “Drink, be drunk, and vomit! Fall and rise no more, because of the sword which I am sending among you.” ’ “And it shall be, when they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, ‘Thus said Yahuah of hosts, “You shall drink! “For look, I am beginning to bring evil upon the city which is called by My Name, and should you be entirely unpunished? You are not going unpunished, for I am calling for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth,” declares Yahuah of hosts.’ “And you shall prophesy against them all these words, and say to them, ‘Yahuah roars from on high, and utters His voice from His set-apart dwelling place. He roars mightily over His fold, a shout as those who tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. “Tumult shall come to the ends of the earth, for Yahuah has a controversy with the nations. He shall enter into judgment with all flesh. The wrong He shall give to the sword,’ declares Yahuah.” Thus said Yahuah of hosts, “See, evil is going forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind is raised up from the farthest parts of the earth. “And in that day the slain of Yahuah shall be from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They shall not be lamented, or gathered, or buried, for they are dung on the face of the ground.

Also read Jeremiah 30:11, Jeremiah 46:28, Daniel 2:44, Daniel 7:27, Amos 9.8, Haggai 2:22, Revelation 11:15 all nations/gentile/heathens will be removed/destroyed.

Only Israel, living true to Torah (commands/Instructions) shall be saved.  Isaiah 45:17 Israel shall be saved by Yahuah with an everlasting deliverance. You are not to be ashamed nor hurt, forever and ever.

Confirmed in Revelation 12:17, And the dragon (devil) was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed (Israel), those GUARDING the COMMANDS (Torah) of Elohim and possessing the witness of Yahusha Messiah.

Again, in Revelation 14:12, Here is the endurance of the set-apart ones, here are those GUARDING the COMMANDS of Elohim and the belief of Yahusha Messiah.

If you want to be part of this covenant you then need to abide by this covenant rules, the complete covenant not just part of the covenant.

Scripture tells us that gentiles (heathens) or other nations can be part of Israel but the condition is that they must come into covenant, complete covenant of Israel (Jacob) by this they are drafted into Israel.

 

Following are some scripture verses but not all, confirming that gentiles may join Israel; Genesis 17:12-13, Genesis 41:45 & 50-52. Exodus 2:15+21, Exodus 12:38, Exodus 12:43-44, Exodus 12:48-49,  Numbers 9:14, Numbers 15:13-16, Numbers 15:29, Deuteronomy 21:10-14, Deuteronomy 23:7-8, Zechariah 14:16-20, Zechariah 2:11, Isaiah 14:1, Isaiah 56:6-8, Ezekiel 47:22-23, John 10:16, Micah 4:2,  Isaiah 2:2-3.

What is His Name

Who has gone up to the heavens and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who established all the ends of the earth? WHAT IS HIS NAME, AND WHAT IS HIS SON's NAME, IF YOU KNOW IT? Proverbs 30:4.

Do you know the Heavenly Father's Name?

Most know Him as God or Lord but that is not a name it is a title, so what is His Name?

A clue; HalleluYAH has part of His Name.

Proverbs 30:5, Every WORD of Father is tried; He is a shield to those taking refuge in Him.

Messiah said in John 17:5-6, esteem Me with Yourself, Father, with the esteem which I had with You BEFORE THE WORLD WAS. "I have revealed Your Name to the men..........(What was the Name?).

John 17:8, the WORDS which You gave Me, I have given them. Verse 11, Set-apart Father, guard them in YOUR NAME......... Verse 12, I was guarding them in YOUR NAME which You have given Me...... Verse 14, "I have given them Your WORD and the world hated them.......... Verse 17, "Set them apart in YOUR TRUTH - YOUR WORD IS TRUTH." Verse 26, And I have made Your Name known to them...........

Psalms 138:2, And give thanks to YOUR NAME for You have made great YOUR WORD, YOUR NAME, above all.

Psalms 12:6, The WORDS of Heavenly Father are clean Words.......

Deuteronomy 4:2 + 12:32, Proverbs 30:6 & Revelation 22:18-19, Do not add or do not take away from my Word......

The WORD and His Name has always been from the beginning and it is still the same today, nothing has changed.

The wicked has lied and deceived us, Heavenly Father and His son the Messiah always has been the same from the beginning and will always be until the end of this present age.

Do you still believe His WORD has changed and do you still believe His Name is God or Lord?

If so, then you lack the WORD OF TRUTH.

Renewed Covenant

Yahuah, said to the people if you carefully and seriously obey My voice, and shall guard My covenant, then you shall be My treasured possession above all the peoples and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a set-apart nation.’

Yahuah spoke these Ten Words (commands) to all the assembly, in the mountain from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a loud voice, and He added nothing more. After He spoke these Words, He then wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to Moses - Deuteronomy 5:22. This covenant was with Israel and all strangers that were joined to Israel.

This was the covenant Father spoke directly with the people and they all accepted.

We know they broke this covenant with the golden calf affair when Moses was on the mountain.

Yahuah would renew this covenant which was prophesied about in Jeremiah 31:31-34 as a renewed covenant.

"See, the days are coming," declares Yahuah, "when I shall make a renewed covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant I made with their fathers in the day when I took hold of their hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them," declares Yahuah - Jeremiah 31:31-32.

Verse 33, For this covenant I shall make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Yahuah; I shall put my Torah (commands) in their inward parts and write it on their hearts, and I shall be their Elohim (Almighty), and they shall be my people.

In Hebrews 8:8-13 it is confirmed by the apostle that the covenant was renewed by Messiah Yahusha (Jesus) and the commands are written on those hearts that accept Yahuah’s covenant just as the prophet Jeremiah said many years before when Yahuah spoke to him.

As Yahuah’s covenant was broken, He made it possible to make it new or to be renewed by sending His Son Yahusha (Jesus) to deliver (save) His people from their sins. (Matthew 1:21)

Yahusha explained to them that His blood, is that of the “Brit Chadasha” renewed or new covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins (breaking of the covenant). (Matthew 26:27-28).

Now that Yahusha Messiah came to fix that what was broken, does it mean we do not hear His 10 Words or Commands as He spoke face to face with the first people. Let it not be!

Yahusha’s blood mended the covenant of His Father and we as born-again believers can now stand at the mountain and hear His Voice again.

With Yahuah’s Spirit in our inward parts and our desire/love can His Words be written on our hearts.

Yahusha repeats what Moses said before; we must hear the 10 Commands of Yahuah by loving Yahuah with all our heart and mind and likewise to love our neigbour (Mark 12:29-31)

Yahusha also tells us there will still be those today who will hear and those who will not hear. No different to the past as only a remnant will true, hear.

He explains this by means of a parable; the one house that is built on the rock and the other house that is built on the sand and how a storm destroys one house and the other house endures the storm. One will hear and do and the other one will hear and not do, just like it was in the time of Moses and the prophets. (Matthew. 7:24-27 & Luke 6:46-49)

If your desire/love is true, then hear is possible.

The renewed covenant is made with Israel only, not with any other nation or with any religious group/church but only with Israel, the scriptures (Bible) is very clear on this. Anybody, any nation, any stranger, any foreigner can join Israel and the covenant of Messiah but you must be prepared to obey the covenant laws.

You cannot just say a little pray and think you are now ready to be accepted in the covenant, no it is much more than a pray.

To be part of the covenant you have to believe that Messiah Yahusha is the savior (the only one), repent of yours sins, be immersed in water (baptize), receive the set apart (Holy) Spirit, come out of the world system (flesh), die to your-self like Messiah did, be set apart like Messiah, obey Yahuah's commands (Torah), and His right rulings like Yahusha Messiah did.

Walk then in His path, neither turning to the left or to right.

Call unto Me

This said Yahuah who made it, Yahuah who formed it to establish it, Yahuah is His Name. Call unto Me, and I shall answer you, and show you great and inaccessible matters, which you have not known - Jeremiah 33:2-3.

Heavenly Father is telling Israel and Judah to call His Name so that He can show them His greatness.

He is asking you to, "Call unto Me, and I shall answer you." Yahuah wants His chosen children back, you and me He wants back.

In verse 5, Yahuah says He will show displeasure and His wrath, for those evil He has hidden His face.

But for those who call unto Him, He will bring relief and healing. And He shall heal them and reveal to them the riches of peace and truth - Verse 6.

How awesome, all we have to do is turn away from sin and Call unto Him. He will answer and then we must accept His calling.

HalleluYAH for He still calls.

Are you going to accept?

Trust and Believe

Daniel's three best friends in Daniel 3:13-30, showed love, trust, belief and obedience towards Heavenly Father Yahuah even when they were told they would be thrown into a burning furnace.

Think about this, would you be prepared to go through what these three men went through.

In verse 15, the King of Babylon told these three men to kneel down and worship the gold image that the king made but if they do not obey him, they would be thrown into a burning furnace of fire.

Verse 16-17, Daniel's friends said to the king, they do not need to answer him because they know that Yahuah which they serve will save them.

Is this not true love, trust, belief and obedience!

But listen now what they say in verse 18, But if our Elohim (Almighty) whom we serve does not deliver us from this burning furnace, we still will NOT worship or be obedient to your golden image

.

The king was so angry that he made the furnace seven x hotter than normal and threw the three men into the furnace.

Hear now the miracle that played out in the furnace in verse 24-26, the flames did not touch the three men, not even one hair on their head was burnt.

But that was not all, with the three men a 4th person was seen in the burning furnace which is said to be our savior the Messiah Yahusha who was protecting them from burning.

Is this not amazing what our Heavenly Father can do for us if we trust Him with everything.

Are you prepared to go through a similar ordeal?

What would you do if this happened to you, would you be like the three friends of Daniel who were prepared to die for the true Living Creator, Yahuah the Almighty.
