Did you ever look at a
picture and thought you saw what it was showing? You know, like one of those
pictures that at first looks like a young beautiful lady, but when you looked
closer you found it really wasn’t a young beautiful lady at all, but rather an
old aged woman. The reality was hidden by the deceptive illusion of what seemed
to be a beautiful young woman. As you read through this booklet you’ll be able
to discern and objectively consider how one can be blind to the reality of a
situation. The picture you’re about to see is one that Satan does not want you
to see…it’s the true picture, and it’s been there all along.
______________________________________________________________________________
With this study,
I have two basic objectives:
1. To uncover and expose the *hidden
Babylonian System.
2. To note and identify the difference
between true Biblical worship and nominal and pagan worship.
*I say hidden because I am
talking about the not so obvious. The obvious, is the sexual and violent
content that has been proliferated, glorified, and accepted by our societies as
normal behavior. We see Satan’s work in sexually oriented movies, music,
magazines and books. Not to mention some of our kids’ toys that
have occult, humanistic and Satanistic foundations.
To accomplish this, I need to define a couple of words with you. I
say with you, instead of to you, because I am confident that most of you
already know their exact meanings. Nevertheless it doesn’t hurt to review them.
The first word I would
like to define is Logic: One of the
definitions that the Webster’s New World
Dictionary gives for the word Logic is “corrective reasons.” Logic is used
in the sciences. That is how the scientists derive at true reasoning, or
findings of facts. The statement, “What goes up-must come down,” is an example
of corrective reasoning. Along the lines of logical reasoning, we could say
that logic is a parallel to the word “Truth.” That is to say that when we look at things logically, we have the understanding
that we are searching for truth.
It is essential for
this study, now that you have the understanding that thinking logical is in
fact thinking from a truthful perspective, that you set spirituality aside. I
am not saying that this study if not spiritual; on the contrary as you read on
you will see that it is in fact based on true spirituality. Why then am
I asking you to set spirituality aside and to think in terms of logic or truth?
Believe it or not, the Scriptures actually call for it. The Scriptures tell us
that our Father is based on truth. Read the following verses:
“And Yahweh passed by before
him, and proclaimed, Yahweh Elohim, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth…” Exodus 34:6; “He is the
Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment:
an Elohim of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He.” Deut. 32:4.
Notice that He wants us to seek Him in all truth: “Now
therefore fear Yahweh, and serve Him in sincerity and in truth:” Josh.
24:14. “Only fear Yahweh, and serve him
in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done
for you.” 1 Sam. 12:24. “My people
are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou has rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to Me:
seeing thou hast forgotten the law of Elohim, I will also forget thy children.”
Hosea 4:6. The word knowledge in this verse could actually be replaced by the
word “truth.” It could also be ‘understood’ as: “My people are destroyed for
lack of truth” or “My people are destroyed for not seeking truth.” Whose truth?
Well obviously it is Yahweh’s truth. He wants people to believe His truth and
so He adds that He will forget anyone that does not accept it. Notice what He
says, “Then shall they call upon me, but
I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me; for
that they hated knowledge (truth), and did not choose to fear [me];” Prov.
1:28-29.
In regards to thinking
spiritual, let me add, that sometimes unbeknown to us, our spirituality is not
based on truth and is therefore tainted with lies. Most of you know from the
subjects that you have studied in school that there was a time in our distant
past in reference to the world that most people had two views. One view was
that the world was the center of the universe and the other one was that the
world was flat. We can say that the people believed this, spiritually, and
religiously. At times they would try to hurt, if not kill, anyone that ever
tried to teach the contrary. They believed that it was because our Father loved
them so much that He made them (the earth) the center of the universe. They
perpetuated this belief by teaching it to their children. Their children in
turn would teach it to their children. We criticize that kind of thinking
because we know the truth. For a second however, I want you to place yourself
in their shoes and to ask yourself some questions. Would you be any different?
If you found out the truth, would you tell anyone, knowing that they may try to
hurt you? If you believed that their salvation depended on knowing the truth,
how far would you go to reach them? As you can imagine, it wouldn’t be easy. In
your struggles to assist them with the truth, you would realize that most
people are happy with what they have been told. They hear it year after year.
The system composed of their friends, churches, presumptions, etc., has
conditioned them to behave a certain way and to believe certain things. That is
why it would be very difficult for you to reach them. This word
“conditioning”
is the next word that we need to define.
The primary reason
that the people mentioned above believed such lies was because over the years
they had been “conditioned.” Conditioning, some people call it brain washing,
is defined as, “developing a conditional reflex or behavior pattern in a person
or animal that causes them to become accustomed to something.” In more simple
terms people do things out of custom. Conditioning is not necessarily bad; our
Father uses conditioning to teach His people His truths. He encourages us to
remember the customs that He has set, and expects us to keep them. He does this
so the people will not forget Him or His Commandments. Satan knowing this has confounded
Yahweh’s truths with his own lies. He has filled the world with confusion and
has created presumptions that are supported by a Gnostic and a syncretistic
system.
The dictionary defines
Gnosticism as: “An occult salvational system, heterodox, and syncretistic,
stressing gnosis as essential, viewing matter as evil, and variously combining ideas esp, from mythology, ancient Greek philosophy,
ancient religions, and, eventually, from Christianity.” The word gnosis defines
a person who supposedly has superior knowledge regarding spiritual matters. The
dictionary adds that this so-called superior knowledge is gained by self-illumination.
Regarding the Scriptures, a Gnostic person is a person who makes claims or
presumptions regarding our Father that cannot be supported in the Scriptures.
Our last and final
study word is “Paganism”: For our
purpose it is suffice to say that it would be the same as saying “Satanism;”
since it identifies a person, presumptions or beliefs that are set up to stand
against our Heavenly Father. This includes any and all of the occult symbols
and all of the non-biblical beliefs: witchcraft, humanism, Satanism, etc.
Now that we have a
basic understanding of these words, we can use them to assist us in the
clearing of the smoke that has been placed over the Babylonian System. We are
going to see how Satan uses mental
conditioning, paganism, and Gnosticism to deceive the whole world;
the Scriptures are accurate when they identify his activities upon the earth
(Rev. 12:9). Remember that as you follow along you are to be on the side of
logical reasoning or truth seeking. Only then can you get past the smoke screen
that Satan has created to keep you away from our Father and His wonderful Son.
We first learn about
Gen. 11:1-9 (NIV)
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
2 As men moved eastward, they found a plain in
3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them
thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.
4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a
tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and
not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
5 But Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower that the men
were building.
6 Yahweh said, “If as one people speaking the same language they
have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for
them.
7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not
understand each other.”
8 So Yahweh scattered them from there over all the earth, and they
stopped building the city.
9 That is why it is called
As you can see,
We learn from these
events, that
What’s In A Name?
Have you ever tried to speak to someone about the set-apart Names
and they respond with “He knows whom we are talking about”? Doesn’t that sound
like Gnostic thinking? I wager that it does! For in fact you will find no such
verses in the Scriptures. Logic tells us that there is no letter J in the
Hebrew alphabet and that the name of our Father is in fact Yahweh, phonetically
spoken as Yod-Hei-Waw-Hei (YHWH). Logic also tells us that names do not change
from one language to another. Try to change the following names from their
perspective languages to the English: Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro.
Even though many
people accept Yahweh to be His proper name, they stubbornly continue to say
that it doesn’t matter what you call Him; many in fact refuse to call on His
Name. This is definitely Gnostic thinking! Why? Because when people make that
statement they are in fact placing themselves above Yahweh, they are
illuminating themselves. They believe that they can speak for Him. If we can say
that it doesn’t matter what we call Him then we can say anything we want about
Him, and it wouldn’t really matter. What is to stop us from creating any other
assumptions or statements regarding how He thinks of feels? After a while we
are not worshipping Yahweh anymore, we are worshipping a deity that we have
created. The statement, “He has many names” does not fare any better; although
we agree that He has many titles and attributes, Satan has this people thinking
that they can speak for Yahweh. Yahweh on the other hand has other ideas. Let
us review some of His statements from a logical standpoint and see if any of
those statement made by those people can be supported in the Scriptures:
Exodus 3:15
And Elohim said moreover
unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Yahweh Elohim of your fathers,
the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob, hath sent
me unto you: this is my name for
ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
Please take a minute to think about what you just read. If this
verse is not enough to convince you about the importance of His name, read the
following verse:
Exodus 9:16
And in very deed for this
cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power, and that my name may be declared throughout
all the earth.
Notice that in both of these verses, just
two of the many, there is nothing about titles. At no time does He give the idea that you
can call Him anything you want. What about the statement, “He knows who I am
talking to”:
Isa. 42:8
I am Yahweh: that is my
name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven
images.
Now that we have read
this, I ask you a question and I expect a logical answer. Who of the two, Satan
or Yahweh would “really not care what you called him?” The answer is that Satan
does not and would not care what you call him. That is why he has confounded
people and tricked them into uttering other deities’ names. Why? Because he,
Satan, represents all of them!
He has saturated this world with so many of his pagan (satanic)
names and titles that most people, believers included, have to utter them just
to be able to function in this world. Many people will easily say that He
doesn’t care what you call Him, and yet they have no qualm about using and
uttering pagan’s names and titles. Satan has caused them to become part of our
vocabulary and in doing so has assured their utterance.
For the sake of this
study let me give you just a few that you undoubtedly will recognize. Ever
heard of the Apollo 13th Spaceship? Most people have. Did you know
that Apollo is in fact a pagan deity? He is the god of light, medicine and
poetry. What about the words (names), Mercury, Pluto, Mars, Cupid,
What about Yahweh’s Feast Days? Has not the system replaced them
with holidays? Now try to follow me on this and see if we can logically assess
it and reason it to make sense. The system teaches that the Feast Days have
been done away with. Mind you, they’re the ones that YHWH implemented and in
reference to them He said that they were to be observed FOREVER! (Get a dictionary and look up this word) Along with this,
let me add that Yahweh stated that He does not change (Mal. 3:6). The system
however tells us that not only did He change, in that He did away with His
days, something that is not found in Scriptures, but that it is ok to replace
the Feast Days with pagan holidays and then to keep them as religious days. The
system teaches that the so-called converted pagan days, the ones not mentioned in the
Scriptures, are more religious and more real than the ones that are mentioned
in the Scriptures. Does that make sense?
Let’s take a look at
Christmas since it is supposedly the most religious holiday. Most people are
aware, this includes many if not most nominal ministers that X-mass is in fact
a Pagan Celebration. No! Let me rephrase this statement to fit our definition
of Paganism, the same on that you agreed with at the opening of this teaching.
X-mass is in fact a “Satanic Celebration,” known as Winter Solstice. Read what
the New Book of Knowledge Encyclopedia,
1979 edition p. 289, says about X-mass:
"December 25 is a
Christian festival and is observed as the anniversary of the birth of Christ.
In early times this day was not one of the feasts of the Christian Church. In
fact, the church fathers frowned upon the celebration of birthdays and though
of them as a heathen custom. It is thought that Christmas was probably not
celebrated until some 300 years after the birth of Christ. No one is
certain why December 25 was chosen. There is nothing in the New Testament to
indicate that this is the date of the Nativity. It is believed that the efforts
of the early churchman in
Now let’s logically
analyze this one: Would Yahweh bless a satanic celebration and then allow it to
replace His Feast days? No! Would Satan, implement satanic rituals and then
convince people that they are doing it for our Father, so they could in fact
not observe the days that Yahweh wants them to observe? Yes! Check out some of
the things that Satan has done to ensure that the Babylonian world keeps and
celebrates X-mass. Some of these explanations are verified by the information
given above in the New Book of Knowledge
Encyclopedia, 1979 edition p. 289. For starters, he has taken this day,
implemented it, and brainwashed people into observing it as the day of our Savior’s
birth; something that you can’t find in the Scriptures. What else has he done?
In terms of brainwashing, he has made some people so addicted to it, that they
could not see themselves not celebrating it (mental conditioning). I often hear
people say, “Well, we observe the spiritual side of it.” Brainwashed? Yes! Why?
Because there is no way that anything satanic or that opposes the Scriptures
can ever be spiritual.
For those of you who
don’t celebrate it but used to, think about how hard it was to do away with it.
How did you family respond when you told them that you were no longer going to
celebrate it? For those of you who still celebrate it, think about the feelings
that you have when you do? Are these emotions real? How can you have real emotions
celebrating a lie? Do you feel guilty if you don’t or can’t afford to buy
gifts? Think about what your children are really getting out of it. Are they
truly learning to be givers or are you conditioning them to become selfish and
to be takers instead of givers. Are they putting Yahweh first? Did you know
that Satan has worked this holiday into people’s minds so well that more people
either commit suicide or die from X-mass related accidents during this holiday?
Would Yahweh establish a day and allow it to be commercialized? Why is it that
we don’t hear about the “Day of Trumpets in July” or the “Day of Atonement in
July”, like we hear about X-mass in July? After all, these days, Trumpets and
Atonement are mentioned in the Scriptures. “It is for the children” we often
hear people say.” Now let’s logically analyze this one as well: How many of you
want your children to grow up telling lies to their children? Most of you would
be upset and would disagree if parents openly admitted that they in fact wanted
their children to grow up to be liars. Yet when it comes to X-mass the system
approves and encourages people to LIE to their children. They lie to them about
Santa Claus and other things. They cut trees down, place them in their homes
and decorate them. Something Yahweh tells us not to do.
Jer .10:3-5 (NIV)
3 For the customs of the people are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and
a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.
4 They adorn it with silver
and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter.
5 Like a scarecrow in a
melon patch, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot
walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good.”
Satan is so cunning that he even causes people to bow down to
them.
“I never bowed down to a tree!” you say. Let me remind you of
something. If you celebrate, or have ever celebrated X-mass and you bought
gifts, those gifts generally go under the evergreen tree. Then, when you
are ready to give them to their perspective persons, what do you do? “You bow
down to pick them up!” This custom is not new! Read the following verse
Deut. 12:2
Ye shall utterly destroy all
the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree;” Now you know why the gifts customarily go
under the X-mass tree!
As we already
mentioned, probably the biggest and most damaging lie that we tell our children
is that X-mass is the day of our Savior’s birth. We teach our kids fairy tales
and we encourage them to practice all, if not many of the pagan or satanic
rituals that are a part of a winter solstice. Consider this, Satan knows that
to condition or brainwash people, you have to start while they are young. He
knows this because he understands the Scripture better than you or I. He knows
what Proverbs 22:6 states regarding our children: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will
not depart from it”. Yahweh wants you to teach your children the truth. The
Babylonian system teaches that it is ok to teach them lies. In regards to
Yahweh’s Days, he tells us that to be able to attend his Feasts we should set
some money aside. This is often referred to as a second tithe. Satan knows this
and so he has very cunningly devised a plan that ensures peoples’ observances
of His days. Think of how many people have X-mass savings plans. How often have
you received literature in the mail that encourages you to save up for X-mass?
Why don’t the banks send you literature to encourage you to save for the Feast
Days and Yahweh’s Solemn Days? You read earlier that many people, including
many ministers, knowing that x-mass is in fact a satanic celebration, have
justified by saying that it is ok to observe it because “they have made it a
religious and holy celebration.” Yahweh has something to say about that, it
goes something like this:
Mal. 2:3
Behold, I will corrupt seed,
and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts;
and one shall take you away with it.
Matt. 15:9
But in vain they do worship
me, teaching for doctrines the commandments [customs] of men.
Under
Grace?
What about the systems teaching of grace? The world thinks that
Yahweh’s laws were done away with and that we now live under the age of grace.
Well logically speaking, if this is true, then none of the patriarchs would
have ever received any grace, since after all they were under, and obedient to
the Laws; the same ones that Yahweh established. It would be logical to assume
then that we should not find anything in the OT about the concept of grace.
After all, as the reasoning goes, we are of the New Testament because when
Yahshua died, he did away with the Laws of Moses. This would make sense if that
we true; that only the New Testament would support that notion. In our search
for truth, however, we discover that many of the patriarchs, the same ones that
kept and received the law that Moses received, had in fact been under grace
themselves. Let’s read a few of the verses that contradicts this worldly
notion:
Gen 6:7-8
…But Noah found grace in the eyes of Yahweh.
Gen. 19:18-19 tells us that
And Moses made haste, and
bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. Notice that Moses didn’t say that he did not
have to obey the laws since he understood that he was under grace. What he did
say is that he wanted to receive grace because the people were
stiff-necked/disobedient to Yahweh’s Laws! Once again we can see how the system
has corrupted this understanding.
“I And My Father Are One!”
Grace is a word that parallels with the word “mercy”. Notice what
Yahweh says about who can receive his mercy/grace:
Exodus. 20:6
“And
showing mercy unto thousand of them that love me, and keep my commandments.”
Notice that those that
love him keep his Commandments and in return they receive mercy. The Babylonian
system confuses this by saying that Yahshua did away with the law. They
indicate that Yahshua and Yahweh see things differently and that they have
different ideas regarding the laws set forth by Yahweh. That is not the case
according to the Scriptures. The Scriptures indicate that they are very much
alike. John 10:27-30; keep in mind what Yahshua is saying:
My sheep hear my voice, and
I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they
shall never perish; neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father,
which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of
my Father’s hand. I and my Father are
one.
Here Yahshua is saying
that He and His Father are in total agreement. The word “one” actually means to
agree. He also said that His Father is greater than all. Wouldn’t that include
even Him? And if Yahshua knew and understood that His Father was greater than
even He, would he try to change anything? Perhaps make it better and even
stricter but not to do away with or completely change it. It’s just not
logical! Why? Because when you are in agreement with someone, as He said He was
with His Father, you have the same mind, same spirit, and the same interests.
Yahshua knew that the one thing that kept Him close to His Father was the fact
that He was totally obedient to Him. Yahshua is the representation of the
Father and He did and does everything to honor Him:
John 8:54-56
54 Yahshua answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing; it is my Father that
honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your Elohim:
55 Yet ye have not known
him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar
like unto you: but I know him, and keep his sayings.
56 Your father Abraham
rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
Also: All things are delivered to
me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the
Father is, but he Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
Is there anything
anywhere in these readings that would indicate that he indeed would do away
with His Father’s words, or that He is better or different? On the contrary He
makes it clear that He is in total agreement with His Father. What about
Matthew 5:17? Doesn’t He say that He fulfilled (did away with) the law? That is
what the system wants you to think. What I want you to do is to read the other two verses that follow. In doing that, you will see that He
is not talking about Yahweh’s Days or doctrines. He is talking about those
things that have to do with Him. He tells us so: Luke 24:44:
And he said unto them, These
are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things
must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets,
and in the psalms, concerning me.
Doesn’t this make
more sense? In Matthew
John 8:51
Verily, verily, I say unto
you, if a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
John 14:15
If you love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:23
Yahshua answered and said
unto him, if a man loves me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love
him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John 15:10
If ye keep my commandments,
ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and
abide in His love.
“He Kept Them So I Wouldn’t
Have To!”
How often have you heard, “Yahshua fulfilled all of those old laws
because He knew that I couldn’t keep them?” Whenever I hear this, I think about
my kids saying: “Dad, I can’t do this. You do it for me.” My response, and I am sure most parent’s response is, “Try!” “Don’t give up!” If we were to
approach Yahshua and tell Him that we can’t do it. What do you think the
response would be? Well, if we who are sinners by nature can encourage our kids
to try and try again, surely He would ask us not to give up and to continue
trying. It has been my experience that most people that respond in that manner
have never kept Yahweh’s Commandments. Satan has caused them to believe that no
one has ever and could ever keep them. They truly believe that it is impossible
to obey the laws, and that; in this world no one can do it. They are correct of
course, but only because this system, the one that they are tricked to be
under, belongs to Satan and not to Yahweh. Notice what Yahshua says about this
system and how it feels about believers. I am going to incorporate the word “system”
in place of the word “world”. Either way it makes perfect sense:
John 15:19
If you believed this
[system], this system would love you: but because ye are not of this [system],
and because I have taken you out of this [system], now the [system] hates you.
This makes even more
sense when we accept that the system has been created by Satan to work against
Yahweh. With regards to not being able to keep Yahweh’s word, we find that it
is not the case. Luke 1:5-6 the scriptures say the following about Zachariyah,
the Father of John the Baptist:
5 There was in the days of
Herod, the king of
6 And they were both righteous
before Elohim, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of Yahweh
blameless.
Notice that these
people were obedient to all of his laws even before Yahshua’s birth. So the
belief that states that he did them because he knew that we couldn’t, is anti-scriptural. If it is anti-scriptural then it stands against Yahweh, and
if it stands against Yahweh then it must be satanic.
The Scriptures tell us that anything that comes from Satan is
nothing but lies:
John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil,
and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning,
and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh
a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
I pray that you have
seen how Satan has corrupted Yahweh’s way of worship. He has conditioned people
to believe that they are doing the right thing. People will say and even
believe that they are following Yahweh in Truth and Spirit when the Scriptures
indicate that they are actually not. People choose to worship on Sunday, a
pagan day and the first day of the week; when the Scriptures tell us to keep
the Sabbath (the seventh day of the week). Satan has caused the world to honor
and uphold pagan worship and he has caused the world to forget about Yahweh’s
words and accomplishments. Think for example about the fact that the seven
wonders of the ancient world, all have to do with Paganism and Satanism. Your
kids are being taught this stuff in their schools. Nothing that has to do with
Yahweh is ever mentioned; nothing about the temple wall in
Indeed Satan’s system
has worked so well that the world continues to perpetuate lies and teach them
as if they are truths. It is no wonder that in the end, Yahweh will deal
terribly with this system and anyone associated with it. Only Yahweh’s truth
can help you see through Satan’s fog. Yahshua knows this. That is why he said:
John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free.
The truth is composed
of Yahweh’s Feast Days and Solemn assemblies. It is composed of His and His
Son’s set-apart Names. It is through obedience of His Holy Days and the use of
Their Sacred Names that we learn the truth. Everything else, if it doesn’t lead
us to them, is done in vain. His laws are how we learn from Him. They
represent, in a spiritual sense, the discipline and guidance that we give our
children. Think about that! They are in fact the discipline for which we guide
our children’s lives. We discipline them because we want them to become
independent, well behaved, and strong valued. We want them to be successful and
not be swayed by the kinds of pressures that they encounter in their daily
lives; peer pressures etc. In the same sense, it is the law that gives us
spiritual discipline. The law teaches us about how we should behave. What we
should think and even what we should say. Many parents in this world have no
problem telling their child not to do this or that. Not to say this or that.
Yet, they balk at Yahweh for telling them the same. Children need discipline
and guidance. Although at times they rebel and complain, deep inside, they need
and want attention and direction. They are open to what you have to say. They
are very trusting. Yahshua knows this, that is why he
recommends that you seek the truth with the mind of a child (Matthew 18:2-4).
He wants you to trust and obey his Father, the same way that you want your
children to trust and obey you. He knows that through obedience we gain
understanding, knowledge, and ultimately truth. Paul understood this. He knew
that it was the law that teaches us what sin is:
Rom. 7:7
What shall we say then? Is
the law sin? Yahweh forbid. Nay, I had not known sin,
but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt
not covet.
He also knew that it
was through obedience and the keeping of the law (discipline) that we grow to
become like Yahshua. He states that just as Yahshua kept and obeyed the law, we
should do the same:
Rom. 10:4
For
Messiah is the *end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. *end: #5056 telos; (to set out for a
definite point or goal);…
In essence it is the
law that gives us the discipline to behave like Yahshua. It is the same
discipline that teaches us how to seek truth. The more we are willing to seek,
the more he will give. Unlike you, who disciplines your child to be successful
in this world. Yahweh’s laws discipline us to become
successful teachers of His ways in His Kingdom. That is why he encourages us to
reach to him and to get out of the satanic system:
Rev. 18:4
And I heard another voice
from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of
her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Yahweh is now giving
us the option to obey Him. In Satan’s system, disobedience to Yahweh is
allowed, commanded and encouraged. The curses, pain, and anguish that the
disobedient ones will experience is NOT an option. That is why we have to
continue to strive for perfection, realizing that Yahweh has established His
Laws for that purpose. Those people that are disobedient and unwilling to
comply with His words and style of discipline are not worthy for His Kingdom.
Read and understand the final events that both the system and its children, the
disobedient ones, will experience.
Rev. 14:8-11
8 And there followed another
angel, saying,
9 And the third angel
followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his
image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
