Includes churches and others that preach prosperity messages that encourage people to covet things they cannot afford, to bribe the Almighty with "tithes and offerings", all forms of "name it, claim it, frame it" type teaching.
Remember 1 John 5:1-5"
"1 Whoever believes that Yahooshua is the Anointed of Yah is born of Yah, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of Yah, when we love Yah and keep His commandments. 3 For this is the love of Yah, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. 4 For whatever is born of Yah overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world -- our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Yahooshua is the Son of Yah?" NKJV - adjusted
Yah spoke out over the earth on each of the above in detail and in each case called forth curses and judgment on the people of the earth who are guilty of these crimes
War was called forth.
Sickness was called forth.
Destruction of all kinds as called forth.
Judgment of all kinds was called forth.
THE RED AND BLACK HORSES OF REVELATION 6 WERE CALLED FORTH
As i was giving utterance to that which Yah was speaking i saw the red horse of Revelation 6:4 going forth:
Revelation 6:3-4
"3 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come and see." 4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword." NKJV
I then saw the black horse of Revelation 6:5-6 going forth.
Revelation 6:5-6:
"5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see." So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine."" NKJV
I then saw death and destruction released over the earth but did NOT see the pale horse of Revelation 6:7-8. I understand that this horse will be released shortly.
Revelation 6:7-8
"7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see." 8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth." NKJV
Throughout this experience i felt the anger of our Father Yah for the iniquity on the earth.
His wrath was particularly kindled against all those who claim to believe, those who have knowledge of the prophets:
- be it the Yahudites {Jews} and Moshe {Moses} and others,
- the believers through the covenant with Yahooshua {Christians},
- the followers of Mahummed {Moslems},
- or those others who have some knowledge of the things of Yah, of Yahooshua in other sheep folds, etc.
Above all His wrath is kindled against those who claim knowledge of Yahooshua in the guise of Jesus, those who have the book {bible}, those who have Internet connections and access to all the information they need to discern truth and above all those who have been exposed to the truth but REFUSE to walk in it!
THE WRATH OF YAH TODAY IS A CONSUMING FIRE AND AWESOME TO BEHOLD AND EXPERIENCE
THERE IS NO TIME LEFT
REPENT OF YOUR SIN
Turn to Him with a broken spirit and a contrite heart, turn from your evil ways and turn to Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength no matter what the cost.
THE 144,000 SEALED
Then i was told that the one hundred and forty four thousand that had been sealed would alone escape what was coming without being at risk spiritually:
Revelation 7:2-8
"2 Then I saw another messenger ascending from the east, having the seal of the living Mighty One. And he cried with a loud voice to the four messengers to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying,"Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our Mighty One on their foreheads." 4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Yisra'El were sealed:
5 of the tribe of Yahoodah twelve thousand were sealed;of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed;
6 of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Menashsheh twelve thousand were sealed;
7 of the tribe of Shim'on twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Lewi twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Yissaskar twelve thousand were sealed;
8 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Yoseph twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Binyamin twelve thousand were sealed" NKJV - adjusted
BUT JESUS BECAME A CURSE FOR US! - didn't he?
But Jesus became a curse for us!
I hear you say.
Well, actually Yahooshua became a curse for us:
Galatians 3:10-14
"10 For as many as are of the works of the Torah are under the curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the Torah, to do them." 11 But that no one is justified by the Torah in the sight of Yah is evident, for "the just shall live by faith." 12 Yet the Torah is not of faith, but "the man who does them shall live by them."
13 The anointed one has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in the anointing that was upon Yahooshua, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." NKJV - adjusted
This does NOT indemnify us from keeping the Ten Commandments, it provides a way for us when we break the commandments and the rest of the Torah to come to repentance and be released from the curses that are associated with breaking those commandments through humble repentance in the name of Yahooshua.
Consider 1 John 1:5-10"
"5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that Yah is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Yahooshua the anointed of Yah, His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us." NKJV -- adjusted
Thus, we may confess our sin and avail ourselves of the forgiveness that is available to us WITHOUT the priests and animal offerings, etc laid down in Torah BUT we are still required to remember the covenant through Yahooshua and rehearse it by eating the bread and drinking the cup that represents his body and blood.
The curses that are associated with sin remain UNLESS we ask for them to be cut off AFTER we have confessed our sin in the name of Yahooshua and asked for and received forgiveness by faith.
Some of the curses are set out in Deuteronomy 27:9-21:
"9 Then Moshe and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying, "Take heed and listen, O Yisra'El: This day you have become the people of Yah the eternally self existing your Mighty One. 10 Therefore you shall obey the voice of Yah the eternally self existing your Mighty One, and observe His commandments and His statutes which I command you today."
11 And Moshe commanded the people on the same day, saying, 12 "These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have crossed over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin; 13 and these shall stand on Mount Ebal to curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
14 "And the Levites shall speak with a loud voice and say to all the men of Yisra'El: 15'Cursed is the one who makes a carved or molded image, an abomination to Yah the eternally self existing, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.'
"And all the people shall answer and say, 'Amen!'
16'Cursed is the one who treats his father or his mother with contempt.'
"And all the people shall say, 'Amen!'
17'Cursed is the one who moves his neighbor's landmark.'
"And all the people shall say, 'Amen!'
18'Cursed is the one who makes the blind to wander off the road.'
"And all the people shall say, 'Amen!'
19'Cursed is the one who perverts the justice due the stranger, the fatherless, and widow.'
"And all the people shall say, 'Amen!'
20'Cursed is the one who lies with his father's wife, because he has uncovered his father's bed.'
"And all the people shall say, 'Amen!'
21'Cursed is the one who lies with any kind of animal.'
"And all the people shall say, 'Amen!' NKJV - adjusted
There is ABSOLUTELY no basis to assert that one can commit any of the above sins or violate any of the Ten Commandments without bringing a curse upon oneself.
Yahooshua provides a basis for redemption through repentance and prayer in his name.
Note also that in Matthew 25:41-42, Yahooshua speaking about what he will say on the Day of Judgment says "41 "Then He will also say to those on the left hand,'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his messengers:" NKJV - adjusted
Notice that those on the left INCLUDE those who claim to be believers!
Notice also that Yahooshua himself spoke at least one curse:
Mark 11:12-14:
"12 Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 In response Yahooshua said to it, "Let no one eat fruit from you ever again."
And His disciples heard." NKJV - adjusted
Mark 11:20-21
"20 Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away." NKJV
Accordingly it is apparent that curses still exist and carry power.
We need to deal with our sin in order to be set free from the curses we bring upon ourselves and the curses that have been spoken against us and the inherited curses that have passed down our blood lines.
Please note that YOU have authority in the name of Yahooshua to pray to cut off curses PROVIDED you are a believer.
That is the subject of another document.
Right now the key point is that whatever sin we have in our lives carries curses and death and Yah the eternally self existing has now had enough of the frivolous and disrespectful way we treat the terrible offering of Yahooshua and all that he bought for us and Yah now expects us to deal with our sin.
WHAT EXACTLY IS THE DAY OF ATONEMENT AND WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN?
Leviticus 23:26-32
"26 And Yah the eternally self existing spoke to Moshe, saying: 27 "Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to Yah the eternally self existing. 28 And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before Yah the eternally self existing your Mighty One. 29 For any person who is not afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut off from his people. 30 And any person who does any work on that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. 31 You shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32 It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your sabbath." NKJV - adjusted
Numbers 29:7-11
"7 'On the tenth day of this seventh month you shall have a holy convocation. You shall afflict your souls; you shall not do any work. 8 You shall present a burnt offering to Yah the eternally self existing as a sweet aroma: one young bull, one ram, and seven lambs in their first year. Be sure they are without blemish. 9 Their grain offering shall be of fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenths of an ephah for the bull, two-tenths for the one ram, 10 and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs; 11 also one kid of the goats as a sin offering, besides the sin offering for atonement, the regular burnt offering with its grain offering, and their drink offerings." NKJV - adjusted
Yahooshua provided the offering, we must STILL present the offering to Yah.
Leviticus 16:1-28
"1 Now Yah the eternally self existing spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered profane fire before Yah the eternally self existing, and died; 2 and Yah the eternally self existing said to Moses: "Tell Aaron your brother not to come at just any time into the Set Apart Place inside the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark, lest he die; for I will appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.
3 "Thus Aaron shall come into the Set Apart Place: with the blood of a young bull as a sin offering, and of a ram as a burnt offering. 4 He shall put the set apart linen tunic and the linen trousers on his body; he shall be girded with a linen sash, and with the linen turban he shall be attired. These are set apart garments. Therefore he shall wash his body in water, and put them on. 5 And he shall take from the congregation of the children of Yisra'El two kids of the goats as a sin offering, and one ram as a burnt offering.
6 "Aaron shall offer the bull as a sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house. 7 He shall take the two goats and present them before Yah the eternally self existing at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 8 Then Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for Yah the eternally self existing and the other lot for the scapegoat. 9 And Aaron shall bring the goat on which Yah the eternally self existing's lot fell, and offer it as a sin offering. 10 But the goat on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat shall be presented alive before Yah the eternally self existing, to make atonement upon it, and to let it go as the scapegoat into the wilderness.
11 "And Aaron shall bring the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull as the sin offering which is for himself. 12 Then he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before Yah the eternally self existing, with his hands full of sweet incense beaten fine, and bring it inside the veil. 13 And he shall put the incense on the fire before Yah the eternally self existing, that the cloud of incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the Testimony, lest he die. 14 He shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east side; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
15 "Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, which is for the people, bring its blood inside the veil, do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before the mercy seat. 16 So he shall make atonement for the Set Apart Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Yisra'El, and because of their transgressions, for all their sins; and so he shall do for the tabernacle of meeting which remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness. 17 There shall be no man in the tabernacle of meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the Set Apart Place, until he comes out, that he may make atonement for himself, for his household, and for all the assembly of Yisra'El. 18 And he shall go out to the altar that is before Yah the eternally self existing, and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar all around. 19 Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, cleanse it, and consecrate it from the uncleanness of the children of Yisra'El.
20 "And when he has made an end of atoning for the Set Apart Place, the tabernacle of meeting, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat. 21 Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, confess over it all the iniquities of the children of Yisra'El, and all their transgressions, concerning all their sins, putting them on the head of the goat, and shall send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a suitable man. 22 The goat shall bear on itself all their iniquities to an uninhabited land; and he shall release the goat in the wilderness.
23 "Then Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of meeting, shall take off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the Set Apart Place, and shall leave them there. 24 And he wash his body with water in a set apart place, put on his garments, come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people. 25 The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar. 26 And he who released the goat as the scapegoat shall wash his clothes and immerse his body in water, and afterward he may come into the camp. 27 The bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Set Apart Place, shall be carried outside the camp. And they shall burn in the fire their skins, their flesh, and their offal. 28 Then he who burns them shall wash his clothes and immerse his body in water, and afterward he may come into the camp." NKJV - adjusted
Notice that Yahooshua provides the flesh and blood of the offerings and also has the hands of the people laid on him through the High Priest and is taken outside the camp and that his blood was sprinkled on the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant. Yahooshua therefore provides the means to fulfil all of these rituals and we can still claim atonement today as a consequence of his offering of himself as we rehearse the covenant with the bread and the cup.
This is a separate discussion and is dealt with in other articles.
CONCLUSION
Yah is calling all who love Him to repentance and to draw close to Him.
Harsh judgment is coming on the earth in the spirit realm and will become evident in the physical realm in time.
There is no more time to play games with Yah, it is now time to get serious!
