Why do people that do not believe or follow Yahuah (Heavenly Father) or His son Yahusha (Jesus) the Messiah get away with almost everything, have big houses, go on expensive holidays, children get everything they ask for, new cars and prosper.

Have you ever asked that question, I have many times?

Also remember that not all people will be saved and many of these people know Yahuah but made a decision not to serve Him and Father has given them their heart’s desire.

They receive their treasure now while they are here on earth but one day that will come to an end. 

That is their choice, Yahuah does not force anyone to follow Him.

The ones that follow Him truly, there treasure is stored in heaven and one day they will receive it when they are in His kingdom.

For those who walk the straight path with Yahuah, be patient, be strong, have courage and endure till the end.

Walk in His path till the end.
