Then comes the judgement 📋 The Final Appointment with God Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment,— Hebrews 9:27 Here is the expanded, 10-question version of the test. It drives home the absolute weight of that single, unavoidable appointment with death and judgment, stripping away every possible excuse a churchgoer might use to stall. Question 1: The Timeline of Repentance Traditional church culture often conditions people to think they have plenty of time to align their lives with the truth later on. According to the absolute law of mortality, when does your opportunity to stop practicing lawlessness (anomia) permanently end? A) It extends past the grave, offering a second chance to look at the commandments. B) The exact second your physical breath stops. There are no extensions, no revisions, and no delays. Question 2: The Representation at the Throne When you stand at the judgment seat described in Hebrews 9:27, who will be standing there with you to answer for the way you lived your life? A) Your pastor, your spouse, or your church community to help explain your traditions. B) Absolutely no one. You will stand entirely alone, answering directly for whether you physically walked as He walked. Question 3: The Currency of Judgment Many churchgoers rely on their regular attendance, church titles, or good intentions as their security. When the books are opened after death, what is the ultimate standard of measurement? A) How popular your church was and how sincere your human traditions felt. B) Literal alignment with the unchanging Word of God and the physical footsteps of the Messiah (1 John 2:6). Question 4: The Delusion of "Later" If a conditioned mind looks at a clear commandment today (like the Seventh-Day Sabbath or the dietary laws) and says, "I'll look into that some other time," what are they gambling with? A) A harmless delay that grace will automatically cover. B) A sudden, unannounced arrival at their fixed appointment with death—sealing them forever in a state of unacknowledged betrayal. Question 5: The Passing Grade Fallacy Many churchgoers believe they will pass judgment because they are "better than most people" or because they don't do "the really bad sins." What does the mirror of God’s Law say about this excuse at judgment? A) God grades on a curve and compares you to the rest of the world. B) God compares you strictly to His perfect standard. Breaking even one point of the Torah makes you guilty of lawlessness. Question 6: The Pastor’s Accountability Shield If your local pastor told you from the pulpit that the Seventh-Day Sabbath was changed or that the dietary laws were done away with, whose head will that error fall on when you stand before the throne? A) The pastor will take the blame, and you will be let off the hook for just following orders. B) You will answer for your own blindness. The blind leading the blind means both fall into the ditch. Question 7: The Finality of the Closed Door In Matthew 25, the foolish virgins arrived late, knocked on the door, and cried out to be let in. What does their sudden, permanent rejection teach us about the moment after death? A) That God will eventually relent if you beg long and hard enough after you die. B) That once the door of mortality is shut, the Master's decision is final and absolute. Question 8: The Myth of the Church Altar Many rely on a past prayer, a baptism certificate, or an emotional night at a church altar as a permanent insurance policy against judgment. If that past event didn't result in a lifestyle of physical obedience, what is it worth on Judgment Day? A) It is a valid, unbreakable contract of salvation regardless of how you lived. B) It is a worthless piece of paper that proves you talked the talk but refused to walk the walk. Question 9: The "Depart from Me" Reality In Matthew 7:22-23, the people rejected by Yeshua were completely shocked. They expected a reward. What was the exact reason they were cast away on their judgment day? A) They didn't do enough church activities or build a big enough ministry. B) They practiced anomia—living a lifestyle completely detached from and opposite to God’s Torah. Question 10: The Ultimate Fear of Man If you refuse to obey the Creator's physical commandments today because you are terrified that your friends, family, or church will turn on you, what are you failing to realize about the moment of death? A) That keeping the peace with people on earth is more important than keeping the covenant. B) That every single person you are trying to please today will be completely absent from your judgment. Their opinions will mean nothing when you face the Judge. ⚖️ The Verdict Blueprint If you chose "B" for every answer: Awake to Reality. You understand that time is a luxury you do not own. You recognize that the delusion of traditional comfort will instantly vaporize the moment you close your eyes in death, leaving you alone before the Judge. If you made excuses or chose "A": Stalling in Delusion. You are currently banking on a traditional safety net that does not exist in scripture. You are treating a terrifying, fixed appointment like an optional meeting. "Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." — Proverbs 27:1 The clock is ticking down to your appointment. Drop the church excuses, face the mirror, and align your walk with the Messiah before your time runs out. This diagnostic test uses the same direct, mirroring method. It contrasts the common theological defenses used to excuse a lawless lifestyle with the stark, uncompromised warnings found throughout the scriptures. 📋 The "Profession vs. Walk" Mirror Test Instructions: Answer these 4 direct questions honestly based on the everyday choices, priorities, and scriptural claims of the modern believer you are evaluating. Question 1: The Definition of Deception If this person reads the warning in James 1:22 ("Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves"), how do they reconcile their own lifestyle? A) They recognize that "doing the Word" means physically mimicking the obedience, Sabbaths, and righteousness of the Messiah, viewing any other path as self-deception. B) They believe that mentally agreeing with theology or sitting in a pew satisfies the text, using "grace" to redefine a hearer as a doer. Question 2: The Fruit of Knowing Him According to 1 John 2:4, "The man who says, 'I know Him,' but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him." When confronted with the actual commandments Christ kept (the Torah), how does this person respond? A) They acknowledge that to know Him is to obey the same instructions He obeyed, striving for total alignment with His walk. B) They claim they "know Him" through an emotional connection or a past prayer, dismissing His actual commands as an outdated yoke meant only for a bygone era. Question 3: The True Measure of Love When Jesus says, "If you love me, keep my commandments," and John reinforces it in 1 John 5:3 ("For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments"), what does "love" look like in this person's life? A) Love is treated as a binding action of physical obedience to the Father's established instructions and statutes. B) Love is treated as a subjective feeling, a sentimental vibe, or an internal emotion that requires no adherence to a biblical calendar, diet, or Sabbath. Question 4: The Reality of Coming Judgment Scripture states in John 3:36 that "anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but will remain under God's angry judgment." Knowing that the Son explicitly warned in Matthew 5:17–19 that not a single jot or tittle would pass from the Law, how does this person view the final accounting? A) They realize that the Son commands an active turn away from lawlessness (sin) and toward the Torah, making repentance a physical U-turn in behavior. B) They assume their confession shields them from any requirement to obey, believing the Son "fulfilled" the Law so that they are free to ignore it without facing consequences. The Scoring Key: Look back at the boxes checked. If the answers lean toward B, the mirror reveals a sobering truth: it is impossible to claim the destination of the Savior while walking in the exact opposite direction.

These three words, show God's love by Obedience, the only place to find Truth is in His Torah, and if we are not in His spirit we can't, please Him.

Све то има у првим књигама Библије, црква их назива законом, али Бог је рекао да су то Његова упутства. Своди се на ово, да ли ћемо живети као Његов Син и покоравати се његовим заповестима, што води у вечни живот или ћеш следити традиције које је створио човек, своју цркву која води у вечну смрт. Јован 3:36 _цц781905-5цде-3194-бб3б-136бад5цф58д_Ово звучи грубо, али то је оно што је Бог рекао. Када будете проучавали моје књиге, брзо ћете открити да уз све постоје стихови. Бог је рекао: „Грех није држање његових заповести“ 1. Јованова 3:4, а доказ да сте наново рођени је то што ћете одбити да грешите 1. Јованова 3:9. Овај следећи стих је онај који никада нећете чути у цркви._цц781905-5цде-3194-бб3б-136бад5цф58д_ Сви ми једном умремо и онда нам Бог суди, Јеврејима 9:27. Сада добар део, послао је свог Сина, платио је за наше грехе, закуцао је проклетство греха и смрти на крст; не закон Божији.

Онда ћемо живети свој живот да бисмо му угодили. 1 Јованова 3:9._цц781905-5цде-3194-бб3б-136бад5цф58д_ Од тада сам преписао своју књигу, након што смо књиге добили од издавача мама је открила неколико грешака, платила сам проверу правописа, али то мења значење неколико речи. Верујем да ме је Бог инспирисао да напишем ове књиге, имајте на уму да Он бира људе попут мене јер би требало да будем последња особа од које бисте очекивали да састави Његове речи у овом облику._цц781905-5цде-3194-бб3б-136бад5цф58д_ Између обе књиге има преко 60.000 речи и преко 700 библијских стихова. Пробудио бих се скоро сваког јутра око 3 сата ујутро са још једним стихом који је доказао да Божја реч подржава већину хришћанских учења._цц781905-5цде-3194-бб3б-136бад5цф58д_ Питање које сам себи поставио је да ли сам спреман да се суочимБожји љути суд? Сећам се како сам мислио да сам довољно добар да будем први у реду кроз бисерне капије. Ишао сам у цркву два пута недељно, проучавао Библију једном недељно, сведочио сам странцима, скупљао ципеле, плишане животиње, четкице за зубе, хранио бескућнике, сведочио пацијентима у старачким домовима, дали смо преко 30.000 трагова и ја направио 3 хришћанска веб-сајта, увео сам странца у наш дом. Помогли смо толико људи да смо изгубили број. Могао бих да наставим; међутим, нисам држао Божију заповест, одбио сам да следим његова упутства за храну из Левитског закона, нисам држао Његову свету суботу и отишао сам у цркву на дан који сам изабрао. Славио сам пагански Божић, Ускрс и Ноћ вештица док сам јео нечисту храну. И нисам учио своју децу Његовим заповестима, или како да живимо као Његов Син. Свако јутро се будим размишљајући о томе шта могу да вам кажем да видите да сте на истом путу којим сам ја био. Огромна је количина информација које вам дајем. Али то не мења чињеницу да је Бог записао своја упутства у својој Тори првих пет књига у Библији и да очекује да их сви слушају и да следе и слушају Његовог Сина. _цц781905-5цде-3194-бб3б-136бад5цф58д_ Ови стихови су: Божије сопствене речи, одбацивање њих је одбацивање самог Бога, што има вечне последице. Онај који припада Богу слуша и одговара на Божије речи. Јован 8:47 Као твој отац, никада нећу престати да покушавам да те заштитим, чак и до свог последњег даха, спреман сам да дам свој живот, па чак и своју душу да заштитим тебе и твоју породицу. Бог ме је благословио са свим овим информацијама. и дајем ти га. Ове три речи показују Божју љубав кроз Послушност, једино место за проналажење Истине је у Његовој Тори, и ако нисмо у Његовом духу не можемо, угодити Му._цц781905-5цде-3194-бб3б-136бад5цф58д_ Ствар која прогања мене највише у животу је на судњи дан, кажеш тата зашто ме ниси натерао да слушам? _ЦЦ781905-5ЦДЕ-3194-ББ3Б-136БАД5ЦФФ58Д_ _ЦЦ781905-5ЦДЕ-3194-ББ3Б-136БАД5ЦФ55Д__ЦЦЕ781ЦФФ5Д_ЦДЕ-3194-ББ3Б-136БАД5ЦФ5Д_ ДАД_ЦЦ781БР55-5ЦДЕ-3194-ББ3Б-136БАД5ЦФ5Д_ _ЦЦ781ЦФ5Д_ _ЦЦ781ЦФ5Д_ _ЦЦ781ЦФ5Д_ _ЦЦ781ЦФ5Д_ ЛЦЦДЕ-3194-ББ3Б-136БАД5ЦФ5Д_

You claim to honor Christ by celebrating His birthday. The Heathens celebrate the Sun god's birth on December 25th, you Christians celebrate the Son of God birth on December 25th. Celebrating pagan ways , you love, God hates Jermiah 10:2 The Biblical Truth about Christ’s Birth The Satanic Ritual of Sacrificing Children (If you mix unholy with Holy it is blas·phe·my ) Every year, the priests of Ishtar would impregnate young virgins on an altar dedicated to herself and her husband*. The children were born on Christmas December 25, and the next year they were sacrificed on Easter Sunday at the sunrise service. The priests would take Ishtar's eggs and dye them in the blood of the sacrificed children. You must not worship the LORD your God the way the other nations worship their gods, for they perform for their gods every detestable act that the LORD hates. THIS Is What Jesus and the Bible Say about Christmas... Is Christmas a Christian or Pagan Holiday? Када је рођен Месија? Курт Камерон спашава Божић Ослободите се Ускрса! (Откривено паганско порекло Ускрса и Божића) Део 1 од 8 Истина или традиција Celebrating Jesus' Birthday Божићни видеи Видео за прославу Божића Божићни видео Пат Робертсон признаје да је Божић карнел The Biblical Truth about Christ’s Birth Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. Pagan Christmas How This Pagan Custom Got into the Church The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge explains clearly, in its article on "Christmas": "How much the date of the festival depended upon the pagan Brumalia (Dec. 25) following the Saturnalia (Dec. 17-24), and celebrating the shortest day in the year and the 'new sun,’. December 25th is not the birthday of Yeshua the true Christ! The apostles and early true Church never celebrated Christ's birthday at any time. There is no command or instruction to celebrate it in the Bible—rather, the celebration of birthdays is a pagan, not a Christian custom , believe it or not, the pagan festival with its riot and merrymaking was so popular that Christians were glad of an excuse to continue its celebration with little change in spirit and in manner. Christian preachers of the West and the Near East protested the unseemly frivolity with which Christ's birthday was celebrated, while Christians of Mesopotamia accused their Western brethren of idolatry and sun worship for adopting as Christian this pagan festival but remember, these people had grown up in pagan customs, chief of which was this idolatrous festival of December 25th. It was a festival of merrymaking, with its special spirit. They enjoyed it! They didn't want to give it up! Now this same article in the New Schaff- Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge Explains how the recognition by Constantine of Sunday, which had been the day of pagan sun worship, and how the influence of the pagan Manichaeism, which identified the SON of God with the physical SUN, gave these pagans of the fourth century, now turning over wholesale to "Christianity," their excuse for calling their pagan festival date of December 25th (birthday of the SUN-god) the birthday of the SON of God. And that is how "Christmas" became fastened on our Western world! We may call it by another name, but it's the same old pagan sun-worshipping festival still! ."The Real Origin of Christmas but if we got Christmas from the Roman Catholics, and they got it from paganism, where did the pagans get it? Where, when, and what was its real origin? It is a chief custom of the corrupt system denounced all through Bible prophecies and teachings under the name of Babylon. And it started and originated in the original Babylon of ancient Nimrod! She claimed a full-grown evergreen tree sprang overnight from a dead tree stump, which symbolized the springing forth unto new life of the dead Nimrod. On each anniversary of his birth, she claimed, Nimrod would visit the evergreen tree and leave gifts upon it. December 25th was the birthday of Nimrod. This is the real origin of the Christmas tree. We are shocked to learn the truth—some, unfortunately, take offense at the plain truth! But God commands His faithful ministers, "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression! 22 Then the Yehovah said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites this: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven: 23 Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold. Exodus 20:22 Psalm 81:12 So I let them follow their stubborn desires, living according to their own ideas. Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for 1. The date of December 25 is not found in your Bible. The shepherds and sheep would not be in the fields in the winter. There is There is no verse that mentions the number of wise men. There is no mention that any of them were Kings. The wise men found the king of the Jews when he was around 2 years old. The Bible does mention not to bring an evergreen tree into your home and decorate it Mary and Joseph were not required to travel in the winter Yehovah says a lying tongue is the second on His list that He hates most. Everything about Christmas is pagan, Pat Robertson admits to the fully pagan origins of Christmas and defends celebrating the Christianized pagan holiday ● Jeremiah 10:2 Thus says the LORD, "Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens though the nations are terrified by them; 3 For the customs of the peoples are delusion; Because it is wood cut from the forest, The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. 4"They decorate it with silver and with gold; They fasten it with nails and with hammers So that it will not totter.… I have come to believe that nothing can be said to change one’s mind about Christmas. The music, gifts, food, and festive events outweigh the true meaning of Yeshua’s birth, this event trumps Yehovah. If you really want to celebrate His birth, then don't do it on the pagan sun god’s birthday on December 25th. This is what we find in the Bible. Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that seemeth right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death!" John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Deuteronomy 12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto Jehovah thy God: for every abomination to Jehovah, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods. ● Matthew 15:9 "In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" John 4:23 The true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. He will not accept that kind of worship, even though it is intended in His honor. To Him, He says, it is offering what is abominable to Him, and therefore it honors, not Him, but false pagan gods. GOD says we must not worship Him according to the "dictates of our conscience"—a term we often hear. Does It Honor Christ? Suppose someone you love has a birthday. You want to honor that person on his or her birthday. Would you lavishly buy gifts for everyone else, trading gifts back and forth with all your other friends and loved ones, but ignore completely any gift for the one whose birthday you are honoring? Now come two arguments often used to justify Christmas observance. Many will reason this way: "But, even though the exact date of Yeshua's birth is unknown, should we not select some date to celebrate as His birthday?" The answer is positively no! Did you not notice the statement quoted from the Catholic Encyclopedia? "Sinners alone, not saints, celebrate their birthdays." The celebration of birthdays is not a Christian, but a pagan custom, observed by sinners! But many still say, "Even so—even though Christmas was a pagan custom, honoring the false sun-god, we don't observe it to honor the false god, we observe it to honor Christ." But how does GOD answer in His Word? "Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them [the pagans in their customs] . . . that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, how did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise? Thou shalt not do so unto the Yehovah thy God: for every abomination to the Eternal, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods" But Yeshua says plainly, "Yehovah is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). And what is truth? Yehovah’s Word—the Holy Bible—says Yeshua, is truth (John 17:17); and the Bible says Yehovah will not accept worship when people take a pagan custom or manner of worship and try to honor Christ with it. Again, Yeshua said: "In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (Matthew 15:9). Christmas observance is a tradition of men, and the commandments of Yehovah, as quoted, forbid it. Yeshua said, further, "Full well ye reject the commandment of Yehovah, that ye may keep your tradition." That is precisely what the millions are doing today. They ignore the commandment of Yehovah He commands, regarding taking the customs of the pagans and using them to honor or worship Yehovah: "Thou shalt not do so unto the Yehovah thy God." Still, most people today take that command of Yehovah lightly, or as having no validity whatsoever, and follow the tradition of men in observing Christmas. Make no mistake! Yehovah will allow you to defy and disobey Him. He will allow you to follow the crowd and the traditions of men. He will allow you to sin. But He also says there is a day of reckoning coming. As you sow, so shall you reap! Yeshua was the living Word of Yehovah in person, and the Bible is the written Word of Yehovah. And we shall be judged, for eternity, by these words! They should not be taken lightly or ignored. What Encyclopedias Say The word "Christmas" means "Mass of Christ," or, as it came to be shortened, "Christ-Mass." It came from the Roman /Catholic Church. Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church In the Scriptures, no one is recorded to have kept a feast or held a great banquet on His birthday. These recognized historical authorities show Christmas was not observed by Christians for the first two or three hundred years—a period longer than the entire history of the United States as a nation! In the fifth century, the Western Church ordered it to be celebrated forever on the day of the old Roman feast of the birth of Sol, as no certain knowledge of the day of Christ's birth existed." Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun") was the official sun god of the later Roman Empire and a patron of soldiers. In 274 AD the Roman emperor Aurelian made it an official cult alongside the traditional Roman cults. God forbids pagan feast days idolater, a person that admires intensely and often blindly one that is not usually a subject of worship. Idolatry is the worship of an idol or cult image, being a physical image, such as a statue, Every year, the priest of Ishtar would impregnate young virgins on an altar. The children were born on Christmas and the next year they were sacrificed at the Easter Sunday sunrise service. The priest would take Ishtar’s eggs and dye them in the blood of the sacrificed children. This was observed around 2000 years before Christ was born. 'You shall not give any of your offspring to offer them to Moloch, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am Yehovah. Leviticus 18:21 21. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Yehovah your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected by children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me. Exodus 20: 5 Do Not Be Unequally Yoked …16 What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.” 17“Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 2 Cor 6:1717 The Sovereignty of God 1 Hear the word that the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2 This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by the signs in the heavens, although the nations are terrified by them. 3 For the customs of the people are worthless; they cut down a tree from the forest; it is shaped with a chisel by the hands of a craftsman…4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they faste n it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. Jeremiah 10:2-4

- Worship God in Spirit n Truth | Answers 4 Saints
Worship God in Spirit and Truth You can not come before God with anything you are nothing Spirit You can not come before God with anything you are nothing Spirit Body and Soul Narrow Gate & Path Key points about these verses: Nature of God: John 4:24 establishes that God is a Spirit, requiring spiritual worship. Guidance and Strength: Romans 8:26 highlights the Holy Spirit's role in assisting believers in prayer, even when they don't know what to ask for. Living a Christian Life: Galatians 5:16 encourages walking in the Spirit to resist fleshly desires. Respecting the Holy Spirit: Ephesians 4:30 warns against grieving the Holy Spirit, implying His personhood. Teaching and Remembrance: John 14:26 describes the Holy Spirit as the "Helper" who will teach and remind believers of Jesus' words. Spiritual sacrifices Do justice Do kindness and walk humbly with your God A broken spirit A broken and contrite heart Lear to do good Seek justice Defend the orphan Plead for the widow Love your neighbor as yourself The verse "Draw near to God and he will draw to you" is found in James 4:8 It is a promise highlighting that when individuals take steps to pursue a relationship with God—through prayer, repentance, and repentance—He responds by drawing near to them, offering intimacy, grace, and presence. Romans 10:10 states: "For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." This verse highlights that salvation involves internal faith in Yeshua resurrection and external confession of Him as Lord, marking a move from legalism to grace. . Key Interpretations of Romans 10:10: Internal and External: It unites internal transformation with external testimony. Heart Belief (Justification): Faith in the heart refers to true, internal trust in God, which makes a person righteous (justified) in God’s sight. Mouth Confession (Salvation): Openly declaring that Jesus is Lord is the outward expression of that internal faith, leading to the assurance of salvation. Role of Grace: This verse underscores that salvation is a gift from God based on faith, not by works or personal performance The Absolute Requirement Romans 8:9 “If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him ” This is not a suggestion. It is a clear dividing line. E zekiel 36:27“I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. ” The Holy Spirit was never given so we could continue living however we want. His primary work is to empower and cause us to obey the Father’s Torah.1 John 3:24“Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.”You can only have confidence that the Spirit of God truly lives in you if you are actively keeping His commandments. Acts 5:32“And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.”God does not give His Holy Spirit to the rebellious or the lawless. He gives the Spirit to those who obey Him The Primary Test from Scripture 1. Do you belong to Yeshua? (The foundational test) Romans 8:9 “But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” If you truly belong to Yeshua (you have repented and trusted in Him), then you have the Spirit. But the next verses show how we can know it is real. 2. Is the Spirit causing you to obey God’s commandments? Ezekiel 36:27 “I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.” This is one of the clearest promises in the New Covenant. The Holy Spirit’s job is not just to make us feel saved — He causes obedience to the Father’s Torah (statutes and judgments). 3. Do you keep His commandments? 1 John 3:24 “Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.” John says this is how we know the Spirit is in us — by a lifestyle of keeping God’s commandments. 4. Has God given you the Spirit because you obey Him? Acts 5:32 “And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.” Obedience and the presence of the Spirit go together. God does not give His Spirit to those who persist in rebellion and lawlessness. Additional Evidences (Supporting Signs) While obedience is the clearest biblical test, other signs often appear when the Spirit is truly at work: The fruit of the Spirit growing in your life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). A deepening love for God, His Word, and His ways. Conviction of sin when you disobey (the Spirit will not let you stay comfortable in sin). A desire and growing ability to walk in holiness rather than the desires of the flesh. A Straightforward Answer You can know you have the Spirit of Christ if: You truly belong to Yeshua, and Your life is marked by a real, growing obedience to the Father’s commandments (not perfect sinlessness, but a clear direction away from lawlessness and toward holiness). If someone claims to have the Spirit but continues living in open rebellion against God’s Torah with no conviction or desire to change, the Bible says that is a serious warning sign (see also 1 John 2:3-6 and Matthew 7:21-23). The Final Verdict To truly “belong to Him” is to be born again — not just in words, but with a total change of identity. You are transferred from the family of rebels on the Broad Way into the family of obedient sons and daughters on the Narrow Path. Here is the sobering test: If the Holy Spirit is not causing you to walk in the Father’s Torah — His statutes and judgments — then you are still ruling your own life. You may boast that you are “free” from the Law, but in reality you are “free” from the King’s authority, “free” from His protection, and outside the gates of the New Jerusalem. Yeshua warned: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom… but only he who does the will of My Father” (Matthew 7:21). The Process of Being Born Again (Including Baptism) Being born again is a supernatural work of God through His Holy Spirit. It is not earned by human effort, but it follows a clear biblical pattern. Here is the full process: Hearing the Word of God The process begins when a person hears the gospel — the good news that Yeshua the Messiah died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 10:17). Conviction by the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit convicts the heart of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). The person recognizes their rebellion against God’s Torah and their desperate need for forgiveness and a new heart. Repentance True repentance is a change of mind and direction. You turn away from sin and self-rule (the Broad Way of lawlessness) and turn toward God with a willingness to obey Him (Acts 3:19; Luke 13:3). Faith / Belief in Yeshua You place your full trust in Yeshua as Lord and Savior, believing that His blood cleanses you from all sin and His resurrection gives you new life (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:16). The Miracle of New Birth (Regeneration) God sovereignly causes you to be born again by His Spirit. You receive a new heart and a new spirit (Ezekiel 36:26). The Holy Spirit comes to live inside you and begins to cause you to walk in the Father’s statutes and judgments (Ezekiel 36:27; Romans 8:9). Water Baptism – The Outward Act of Obedience After being born again, the next step of obedience is water baptism. Baptism is not what saves you or causes the new birth, but it is the biblical way to publicly identify with Yeshua’s death, burial, and resurrection. “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Yeshua the Messiah for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38) Baptism is an act of burial (the old rebel life is buried) and resurrection (you rise to walk in newness of life). It is a public declaration: “I no longer belong to myself — I belong to Yeshua and His Kingdom.” Obedience as Ongoing Evidence The Holy Spirit now lives in you and produces fruit. You know the Spirit is truly in you because you keep God’s commandments and walk in His ways (1 John 3:24; Acts 5:32). A. The "Death" of the Old Man Born Again You cannot be "Born Again" until the "Old Man" (the rebel who hates the Sabbath and the Dietary Laws) dies. You must surrender your "opinion" to the King's Truth. The Broad Way: Tries to "add" Jesus to their old, lawless life. The Narrow Path: Buries the old life and rises as a New Creation. B. The "Implantation" of the Seed Peter says we are born again by the Incorruptible Seed of the Word (1 Peter 1:23). The Seed: The Torah (The Father's Instructions). The Growth: When the Spirit plants this seed in your heart, it must produce the Father's fruit. If you are born of a Holy Father, you will produce Holiness (Obedience). C. The "Sealing" (The Passport) The moment the Spirit enters, you are Sealed (Eph 1:13). This is your "Identification" for the New Jerusalem. The Proof: How do you know the "Transaction" happened? Ezekiel 36:27 says the Spirit will cause you to walk in His statutes. If you aren't walking in them, the transaction didn't take place. The Condensed "Born Again" Summary "Being Born Again is the moment you trade your 'Lawless Autonomy' for the King’s 'Spirit-Led Obedience.' It’s when the Holy Spirit moves in, kills the rebel in you, and starts rewriting the Father’s Torah on your heart so you can finally 'Hit the Mark' (Righteousness)." The "Attention-Grabbing" Question "If being Born Again means receiving a New Nature that loves the King’s Ways, then why are you still using your 'Grace' as a reason to keep the same 'Old Nature' that ignores His Sabbath and His Laws?" . The Transformation The New Nature: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." — 2 Corinthians 5:17 Spirit and Water: "Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." — John 3:5 The Result: Obedience shifts from an external "rule" to an internal "desire," fulfilling the promise that the Law would be written on our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33). The Transformation From Law to Heart: Obedience is no longer a struggle against your nature; it becomes the desire of your new nature. The Public Seal: Baptism serves as the official "crossing over" from the world's kingdom into God's Kingdom. The Result: Your internal spirit and external actions (Truth) finally align, allowing you to worship in a way that is both sincere and grounded in reality.

Good Friday at 3pm to Easter Sunday while it was still dark. Humm the math says drumm role 3pm Monday . Christ said He would be in the grave 3 days and 3 nights, Good Friday Easter Sunday Is Easter Pagan? 3 дана и 3 дана ноћи 72 сата_цц781905-5цде-3194-бб3б-136бад5цф58д_ Jonah Cast Into the Sea and Swallowed …16Then the men feared the LORD greatly, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows to Him. 17 Now the LORD had appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of the fish. How Can Celebrate Easter Anger God? Now that we have just gone through the roots of easter the question remains, “How does celebrating easter anger God?” There is no doubt that the holiday has pagan roots which the LORD detests. Throughout the Old Testament, we see the LORD’s reaction to Israel’s constant falling away into idol worship and pagan practices. We are not much different than the Israelites. Why should we expect a different reaction from Abba? The Word says that God is a jealous God who does not tolerate idolatry. And even if you celebrate Easter with Jesus in mind, God does not receive this! Why? Because it’s a strange fire! Following a holiday with pagan roots , symbols, and meanings and then claiming it in honor of God is an abomination! Here is the clean, definitive Simple Test for identifying whether your home, calendar, and physical habits are in alignment with the Torah of Yehovah, or if you are active in the sin of syncretism—mixing the holy commands of God with the profane traditions of the world. ⚖️ The Simple Test: Sinning Against God (Syncretism Check) Instructions: Answer these 10 direct, binary (Yes/No) questions honestly before the Creator. Question 1: The Origin of the Winter Tree The Scriptural Law: “Do not learn the way of the Gentiles... for one cuts a tree from the forest... They decorate it with silver and gold...” (Jeremiah 10:2-4). The Question: When the winter season arrives, do you bring a decorated evergreen tree into your property, or do you banish this custom because it imitates the historic winter-solstice practices of the nations? [ ] YES (I obey God): You refuse to bring a winter tree into your home, treating the custom as a futile practice rooted in ancient solar idolatry. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You continue to set up, decorate, or participate around the tree, claiming "it represents Jesus to me." Question 2: The Sunrise Worship Timing The Scriptural Law: “...with their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping the sun toward the east.” (Ezekiel 8:16). The Question: Do you participate in traditional "Sunrise Services" on the spring equinox calendar, a practice historically dedicated to the dawn and spring deities of the nations? [ ] YES (I obey God): You reject the custom, recognizing that the Father explicitly calls solar-aligned worship timing an abomination. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You attend or defend these services because mainstream church culture has assigned a biblical meaning to them. Question 3: The Vocabulary of the Tongue The Scriptural Law: “And make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth.” (Exodus 23:13). The Question: Do you actively scrub the terminology of the nations from your lips when discussing holy things—such as refusing to call the celebration of the Master's resurrection by the name of a Germanic spring goddess (Easter)? [ ] YES (I obey God): You call His days what the Scriptures call them: Pesach (Passover) and Yom HaBikkurim (Firstfruits). [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You continue to use pagan-rooted names for holy realities because it is easier and more socially acceptable. Question 4: The Altar of Your Appetite The Scriptural Law: “Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse, shall be consumed together,’ says the Lord.” (Isaiah 66:17). The Question: When you select what to put into your body, does the written Law of Leviticus 11 hold total veto power over your appetite, your cravings, and your social comfort? [ ] YES (I obey God): You strictly observe the dietary boundaries, treating your body as a clean, set-apart living sacrifice (Romans 12:1). [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You consume pork, shellfish, or other unclean things, rationalizing it through modern theology, social convenience, or personal taste. Question 5: The Master of Your Time The Scriptural Law: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy... the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yehovah your God.” (Exodus 20:8-10). The Question: Do you physically cease from your worldly labor, commerce, and buying/selling on the Seventh-Day Sabbath (sunset Friday to sunset Saturday), or do you follow the Sunday tradition of Rome? [ ] YES (I obey God): You guard the Seventh-Day Sabbath as an eternal covenant sign between you and the Father. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You treat the Seventh Day like any other day for work, shopping, or entertainment, preferring man's shifting calendar. Question 6: The Direct Instruction Rule The Scriptural Law: “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.” (Deuteronomy 12:32). The Question: When looking for a way to worship the King, do you stick strictly to the Appointed Times (Moedim) He wrote down, or do you believe human beings have the authority to invent new religious holidays and rituals? [ ] YES (I obey God): You believe the Torah is sufficient and complete; you add no human holidays to His sacred calendar. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You participate in holidays invented by the state of Rome or modern culture, assuming God accepts whatever we offer. Question 7: Purging Sacred Objects from the Home The Scriptural Law: “You shall burn the carved images of their gods with fire... nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared by it; for it is an abomination to Yehovah your God.” (Deuteronomy 7:25). The Question: Do you systematically inspect your home, decorations, and properties to ensure you are not harboring symbols historically tied to ancient fertility cults, solar wheels, or the occult? [ ] YES (I obey God): You purge your household of any physical item that carries a heritage of false worship or worldly customs. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You keep these items around as "art," "decorations," or "antiques," ignoring the spiritual snare attached to them. Question 8: The Hearing of the Ear The Scriptural Law: “He that turned away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be an abomination.” (Proverbs 28:9). The Question: When the hard, straightforward truth of the Torah cuts across your comfort, your wallet, or your family traditions, how does your ear respond? [ ] YES (I obey God): You humble yourself, undergo the continuous baptism of repentance, and adjust your life immediately to match the Spoken Word. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You look for loop-holes, modern grace excuses, or point to "good intentions," matching the exact description of the nation that refuses to be taught (Jeremiah 7:27). Question 9: The Pressure of the Feast Table The Scriptural Law: “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.” (1 Corinthians 10:21). The Question: If a close family member invites you to a major traditional holiday dinner (like Christmas or Easter) where unclean food is served and pagan-rooted traditions are practiced, do you have the courage to politely decline the invitation to keep your garments clean? [ ] YES (I obey God): You value covenant fidelity above family harmony, refusing to sit at a table that honors a mixed, profane tradition. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You attend anyway to "keep the peace," validating their compromise with your presence. Question 10: The Definition of Faith The Scriptural Law: “But don't just listen to Yehovah’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.” (James 1:22). The Question: Is your faith a concrete action of physical submission, consisting of Believing, Committing, and Doing, or is it an intellectual concept wrapped in emotional sentiment? [ ] YES (I obey God): Your faith drives you to physically walk out His commands regarding His Sabbaths, His boundaries, and His instructions. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You claim to have "faith in your heart" while your hands, your diet, and your lifestyle continue to practice the lawless habits of the world around you. 🎯 The Final Scorecard Every YES choice means you are standing with the Remnant who worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24). Every NO choice means the flesh is still ruling in that area, and you are active in syncretism—bringing "strange fire" before the altar of the King. “Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods...” — Deuteronomy 12:31 The Satanic Ritual of Sacrificing Children Every year, the priests of Ishtar would impregnate young virgins on an altar dedicated to herself and her husband*. The children were born on Christmas December 25, and the next year they were sacrificed in the Easter's Sunday at the sunrise service. The priests would take Ishtar's eggs and dye them in the blood of the sacrificed children. Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. (Deuteronomy 12:30-31) God is not happy with the way we have mixed pagan practices with His true worship. Celebrating Easter does not honor or please God even if we do it with the right intention. It was never established by God, so why are we so attached to it? Why do we go to great lengths to defend a holiday that angers Abba? Pride perhaps? Or our unbudging stubbornness in tradition? In the words of Paul to the Romans: “But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.” (Romans 11:5) And still, to this day, there is a remnant of followers of The Way who have made the decision not to be contaminated by the world. Who have proposed to follow God no matter the cost, no matter the fire, no matter the cold shoulder. Because being Christian is not easy and less even when you follow the entire truth- the truth that no one wants to acknowledge. Truth is never popular, not even in the church. But be brave brethren. Be humble. At the end of the day, we want God’s approval, not man’s. Will you be part of the remnant? Exodus 12:3-14 3 Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb[a ] for his family, one for each household. 4 If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbor, having taken into account the number of people there are. You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat. 5 The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats. 6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. 7 Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. 8 That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast. 9 Do not eat the meat raw or boiled in water, but roast it over a fire—with the head, legs, and internal organs. 10 Do not leave any of it till morning; if some is left till morning, you must burn it. 11 This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the Lord’s Passover. Passover Meal The Last Supper Matthew 17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” 18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” 1 9 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. 20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21 And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.” The Last Supper Mark 12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” 13 So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14 Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.” 16 The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover. 17 When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18 While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.” The Last Supper Luke 7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.” 9 “Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked. 10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.” 13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover. 14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 11:23-25 23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

The Diagnostic Test — Spirit of Truth or Spirit of Tradition? Use these four questions to examine yourself or guide a brother or sister through honest self-reflection: 1. The Humility Test (John 16:13 & Acts 17:11) The Question: When clear biblical evidence exposes that an inherited church belief or holiday violates Scripture, what is your immediate response? Spirit of Truth: "Let God be true and every man a liar." You yield to the text, repent, and abandon the tradition, regardless of the personal or family cost. Spirit of Tradition: You become defensive, dismiss the study, justify church custom, or claim "God knows my heart." 2. The Obedience Test (1 John 2:3–4 & John 14:15) The Question: “Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, ‘I know Him,’ and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” Do you strive to obey His commandments, or do you view His law as a burden? Spirit of Truth: Obedience is your act of love and fruit of repentance. Spirit of Tradition: Uses grace as an excuse for disobedience, claiming the commandments don't apply anymore. 3. The Authority Test (Mark 7:7–9) The Question: When God's Word says one thing and your denomination or favorite preacher says another, who wins? Spirit of Truth: Scripture alone holds final authority over doctrine and daily life. Spirit of Tradition: Denominational catechisms, pastors' opinions, and family heritage overrule the text. 4. The Name Test (Matthew 1:21 & Acts 4:12) The Question: When shown that Gabriel assigned the Hebrew name Yeshua ("Yahweh is Salvation"), carrying the Father's personal redemptive signature, does your spirit leap to honor it, or do you despise its Hebrew origin? Spirit of Truth: Receives the name with reverent joy, marveling at the Father's salvation. Spirit of Tradition: Clings to familiarity and mocks or rejects the original Hebrew truth. Part 3: The Watchman’s Mandate “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.” — Ezekiel 3:17–19 To the Reader: This warning is delivered to you not in hatred, but in urgent love. You have now been shown the mirror of Scripture. The difference between what God commanded and what man instituted is clear. In Romans 8:1–14, Paul sets up an absolute, binary divide. There is no middle ground or third category: a person is either governed by the mind of the flesh (sarx) or the Spirit of God (Pneuma). Paul does not frame this test around emotional experiences or external religious performance, but around dominion, mindset, and alignment with God's law. 1. The Starting Position: Condemnation vs. Freedom (vv. 1–4) What God Said: The Mosaic Law was holy and just, but it was "weakened by the flesh"—it could command righteousness, but human nature could not produce it. God fulfilled the righteous requirement of the Law by sending His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh. The Mark of Having the Spirit: The believer walks "not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit" (v. 4). The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set them free from the law of sin and death. The Contrast: The flesh is trapped under an endless cycle of command, failure, and condemnation. The Spirit produces an internal reality where the demand of God's Word is actively loved and lived out. 2. The Mindset Test: Setting the Affections (vv. 5–6) "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace." (vv. 5–6) The Mind of the Flesh: Governed by temporal preservation, self-elevation, appetites, and autonomous human reasoning. Its ultimate end is spiritual decay and death. The Mind of the Spirit: Preoccupied with what honors God—truth, holiness, obedience, and kingdom purposes. The Test: What does the mind naturally drift toward when unrestrained? The flesh defaults to self-interest; the Spirit defaults to God's will, resulting in inner stability (life and peace). 3. The Authority Test: Hostility vs. Submission (vv. 7–8) "For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God." (vv. 7–8) This is the diagnostic core of Paul’s argument: The Flesh Cannot Submit: The natural human heart views God's absolute authority as an imposition or a threat to autonomy. Even when outwardly observant, it negotiates, modifies, or excuses disobedience. It is fundamentally at war with "God Said." The Inability to Please God: Good deeds, religious ceremonies, or moral philosophies done under the impulse of the flesh remain unacceptable to God because the underlying will has never surrendered. 4. The Ownership Test: The Indwelling Presence (vv. 9–11) "You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him." (v. 9) Paul’s Binary Conclusion: You either possess the Spirit and belong to Christ, or you do not have the Spirit and are alien to Him. There is no category of a Christian who lacks the Spirit of Christ. The Internal Witness: If Christ is in you, the natural body remains subject to physical death because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of imputed and imparted righteousness (v. 10). The Guarantee: The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead acts as a residing power, imparting resurrection life even to mortal bodies to walk in holiness now (v. 11). 5. The Mortification and Sonship Test (vv. 12–14) "For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God." (vv. 12–14) Active Mortification: Having the Spirit does not mean passive sinlessness; it means active warfare. The true believer does not coddle the flesh or make peace with compromise—they actively put to death the misdeeds of the body through the Spirit's power. Led by the Spirit: In biblical context, being "led by the Spirit" in verse 14 does not refer primarily to mystical nudges about career or life choices; it refers directly to being led away from sin and into righteousness. Summary Table: Romans 8 Diagnostic Diagnostic Marker The Mind of the Flesh (Lacking the Spirit) The Mind of the Spirit (Having the Spirit) Primary Impulse Self-preservation, worldly interest, autonomy (v. 5) Righteousness, divine purpose, eternal truth (v. 5) Relation to God's WordHostile, resisting, unable to submit (v. 7) Submissive, fulfilled by the Spirit's power (v. 4, 7) Spiritual Fruit Death, alienation, inability to please God (vv. 6, 8) Life, peace, reconciliation with the Father (v. 6) Daily Habit Indulging or rationalizing the body's appetites (vv. 12–13) Actively mortifying the deeds of the flesh (v. 13) Identity Debtor to the fallen nature; outside Christ (vv. 9, 12) P ossessed by Christ; confirmed son/daughter of God (vv. 9, 14)

The following prophetic Scriptures speak about a coming greater Exodus of the Children of Israel (all 12 tribes) from among all the nations of the Earth. God will gather all his children (Israel) from among all the nations where we have been scattered and will return us to the Land of Israel. Passover and The Second Exodus Видео већи Екодус део 1-2-3 Greater exodus part 2 Eddie Chummney To the Church in Philadelphia 10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. To the Church in Laodicea, This church will go through the tribulation 14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. Prophetic Regathering of Israel (Biblical/Jewish perspective): Many biblical prophets, particularly in the Old Testament, speak of a future, even greater, regathering of the scattered people of Israel from "all nations" where they have been dispersed due to sin. This is distinct from the return from Babylonian exile, as the prophecies often refer to a worldwide dispersion. This "second exodus" or "greater exodus" involves the reunification of all twelve tribes, including the "lost" ten tribes of the northern kingdom, and their return to the land of Israel. This event is often tied to the coming of the Messiah and the establishment of God's kingdom on Earth. The Second Exodus This expansion weaves the foundational promise of the physical return to the Land (the gathering from the four corners of the earth) into the diagnostic structure. It contrasts the prophetic reality of a literal, physical return to the soil of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with the spiritualized, hands-off view that treats the Promised Land as a mere metaphor. 📋 The "Gathered from the Nations" Return Test Instructions: Answer these 4 simple questions to see if your vision of the final restoration matches the physical, literal return promised by the prophets, or if you are looking at the land through a filtered, allegorical lens. Question 1: The Literal Soil of the Promise In Amos 9:15, Yehovah makes an uncompromising declaration: "I will plant them in their land, and no longer shall they be pulled up from the land I have given them." When you read about the land given to Abraham's seed, what does that space mean to you? A) You see it as literal, physical soil—the specific geography on the mountains of Israel where the King will physically rule and where His gathered people will build houses and plant vineyards. B) You spiritualize the Land away, treating it as a metaphor for "heaven," an internal state of mind, or a generic religious concept that requires no physical connection to the Middle East. Question 2: The Purpose of the Exile's End When the Father promises to "bring back the captives of My people Israel" and gather them out of the nations where they were sifted (Amos 9:14, Jeremiah 31:33), what is the primary indicator that a person has been spiritually prepared for that physical return? A) They have already returned to the laws of the Land. Before their feet ever touch the dirt of Israel, their hearts have submitted to the King’s calendar, His diet, and His Seventh-Day Sabbath. B) They want the benefits of the inheritance without the rules of the household, assuming they can be gathered into the holy Land while stubbornly clinging to the pagan traditions and lawless lifestyles of the nations. Question 3: Building the Waste Cities vs. Modern Comfort The prophet states that when they return, "They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; they shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them" (Amos 9:14). How does this call to physical restoration intersect with your daily focus? A) You view your current life as a training ground, learning the agricultural, dietary, and covenant patterns of the Torah today so you are ready to be a productive citizen of the restored Kingdom tomorrow. B) You are fully invested in building and securing your own comfort within the modern Babylonian system, giving little thought to the literal restoration of the desolate places of Israel. Question 4: The Voice That Gathers The text concludes with the absolute authority of the Caller: "'Says the LORD your God'" (Amos 9:15). When the final trumpet sounds to gather the scattered remnants of Israel back to the borders of the Promise, what kind of flock will answer the call? A) A unified, clean flock that recognizes the voice of the One Shepherd because they have spent their lives practicing His walk (1 John 2:6) and obeying His statutes. B) A confused, mixed multitude that gets left behind because they spent their lives arguing that the Shepherd's voice, His Torah, and His physical Land were obsolete relics of the past. The Sovereign Verdict: Review your final selections. If your checkboxes continue to look for excuses (B), the mirror provides one last warning. Our Father is not looking for spiritual tourists to inhabit a metaphorical kingdom; He is gathering a physical, cleansed nation back to a literal, covenant Land. You cannot truly pray for the return of Israel if you are actively rejecting the very Torah, Sabbath, and identity that defines her. The "Throne of David & The Remnant" Test Instructions: Answer these 4 final questions to determine if your heart is truly prepared to submit to the literal, resurrected King David and the physical restoration of the Tribes of Israel, or if you are clinging to a sanitized, comfortable version of the future. Question 5: The Literal Prince Forever In Ezekiel 37:24–25, Yehovah makes a clear, physical promise: "David My servant shall be king over them... and My servant David shall be their prince forever." When you read this plain scriptural text, how do you handle the literal reality of David’s future resurrected authority? A) You take the Father at His Word. You accept that the historical King David will literally be resurrected to rule on this physical earth as the prince and under-shepherd beneath the Messiah, maintaining perfect order according to the Torah. B) You spiritualize or gloss over the passage because a literal, resurrected David ruling over a physical, Torah-keeping nation doesn't fit into your modern, hands-off view of "heaven in the clouds." Question 6: The Gathering of the Lost Identity The prophets declare that the Father will gather the outcasts of Israel and the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth (Amos 9:9, Ezekiel 37:22). When you look at your own ancestry and identity, where do you place your loyalty? A) You realize that through the blood of Christ, you have been brought near to the Commonwealth of Israel. Your primary identity is no longer your Gentile nationality or Western church culture; you are an incorporated citizen of the literal Tribes of Israel, bound to her laws. B) You view yourself proudly as a "Gentile Christian" who is separate from Israel, treating the gathering of the literal twelve tribes as a side-project that has nothing to do with your personal walk, lifestyle, or diet. Question 7: The Standard of the Royal Court King David wrote extensively in Psalm 119 about his deep, burning love for the Law: "Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day... Your word is a lamp to my feet." If you expect to dwell in a Kingdom where David is the Prince forever, how does your current view of the Torah compare to his? A) You share David's heart. You look at the Sabbaths, the clean dietary laws, and the statutes as a beautiful delight, actively practicing them now so you are in harmony with the royal court of the Kingdom. B) You view the very Law that David loved as a "dead burden" or "legalism," creating a bizarre scenario where you expect to inherit a Kingdom ruled by a Prince whose entire life, passion, and government are based on instructions you reject. Question 8: The Sieve of the Nations In Amos 9:9, the Father states that He will sift the house of Israel among all nations "as grain is sifted in a sieve; yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground." As the world plunges deeper into lawlessness, how is this sifting manifesting in your life today? A) You are being separated out of the world. The sifting is stripping away the pagan holidays, the lawless lifestyle, and the human traditions you inherited, leaving you as pure grain aligned with the Word of God. B) You are slipping straight through the mesh of the sieve, blending seamlessly into the culture around you because you look, eat, rest, and celebrate exactly like the rest of the world. The Sovereign Verdict: Look back over the entire diagnostic check. If your answers consistently chose B, the mirror has delivered its final, sobering reality check. Our Father is not staging a metaphorical rescue for a lukewarm, lawless church that ignores His instructions. He is executing an iron-clad covenant promise to gather a physical, cleansed, twelve-tribe nation back to literal soil—to be ruled by one Shepherd and governed by a resurrected King David who loves the Torah. You cannot truly say you love the King if you are actively spending your life resisting the very laws, the very King, and the very nation He is coming to establish forever. " Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, And I will destroy it from the face of the earth, yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob," Says the LORD. " For I will surely command, And will sift the house of Israel among all nations, As grain is sifted in a sieve; Yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground. Who Is Involved in the Greater Exodus? All of God’s people—both Jews and Gentiles who are grafted in through faith (see Romans 11)—are seen as participants. Many believe it includes a physical return to the Land of Israel and a spiritual return to God’s covenant ways.

The good news is that Yehovah ordained Yeshua to announce the coming of His kingdom here on earth. Many would be shocked to find out that the Bible defines the gospel differently than what they have always been told. A thorough reading shows He brought and that the apostles continued to preach. The True Gospel e The spiritual path begins with a direct call from Yeshua: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. ” This imperative is the doorway to salvation—a foundational, inward shift away from sin and a fallen world, and a redirection of the heart toward the sovereign authority of God. Matthew 4:17 — “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, ‘Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’” Mark 1:15 — “And saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.’” 2. The Doorway: Water Baptism and the Holy Spiri t Following the resurrection and ascension of Yeshua, Peter declared the active steps of covenant entry at Pentecost: turning in repentance, being buried with Messiah in baptism, and receiving divine empowerment through the Spirit. Acts 2:38 — “Then Peter said unto them, ‘Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.’” John 3:5 — “Jesus answered, ‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.’” 3. The Blood: Grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel By the blood shed on the tree, the dividing wall of hostility was torn down. Nations once alienated from the promises and covenants are brought near and grafted as wild olive branches into the root of Israel. Ephesians 2:12–13 — “That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Yesgua messiah ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” Romans 11:17 — “A nd if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree.” 4. The Commission: Gathering Others into the Harvest Salvation is not walked in isolation; a grafted branch bears fruit. Believers are commanded to act as fishers of men and ambassadors, working to gather the lost into the Father’s house before the end. Matthew 28:19–20 — “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” Matthew 9:37–38 — “Then saith he unto his disciples, ‘The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.’” Luke 14:23 — “And the lord said unto the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.’” 5. The Perseverance: Holding Fast Until the End The culmination of salvation requires endurance through trials, testing, and persecution. The promise of the eternal crown belongs to those who do not turn back. Matthew 24:13 — “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Hebrews 10:35–36 — “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.” Revelation 2:25–26 — “But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations.” Истинско Јеванђеље Нигде у Светом писму Јешуа не каже да је јеванђеље о томе да Он долази да умре за наше грехе. Шта је Јешуа проповедао? Многи би били шокирани када би сазнали да Библија дефинише јеванђеље другачије од онога што им је увек било речено. Детаљно читање показује да прихватање Христове крви као плаћање за наше грехе — колико год да је то суштински важно — заправо није фокус „добре вести“ коју је Он донео и коју су апостоли наставили да проповедају. Осим што је умро за наше грехе, Јешуа је дошао на земљу као гласник Јехове Оца: Добра вест је да је Јехова заредио Јешуу да објави долазак Његовог краљевства овде на земљи. Јован 8:38 Ја говорим о ономе што сам видео код свог Оца, а ви чините оно што сте чули од свог оца.” Јован 12:49-50 Јер нисам говорио сам од себе, него ми је Отац који ме посла дао заповест – шта да кажем и шта да говорим. 50 И знам да је заповест Његова вечни живот. Дакле, оно што ја кажем, кажем како ми је рекао Отац.” Јован 14:24 Ко ме не воли, не држи речи мојих. И реч коју чујете није моја него Оци који су ме послали. Лука 4:43 Јешуа им рече: „Морам проповедати краљевство Јеховино и друге градове, јер сам у ту сврху послат“. Иако је Јешуа категорички био најважнији појединац који је икада ходао овом земљом, Библија јасно показује да јеванђеље које је Јешуа донео није било само о њему самом. Прочитајте Његове изјаве, и докажите ово сами: Матеј 9:35 Јешуа је прошао кроз све градове и села, поучавајући у њиховим синагогама, проповедајући јеванђеље о краљевству, и исцељујући сваку болест и болест. 36 Када је видео мноштво, сажалио се на њих, јер су били узнемирени и беспомоћни, као овце без пастира. Марко 1:14-15 Пошто је Јован стављен у тамницу, Јешуа је дошао у Галилеју, проповедајући јеванђеље о царству Божијем, и говорећи: „Испунило се време и приближило се Царство Божије. Покајте се и верујте у јеванђеље“. 43 Лука 8:1 А после се догодило да Јешуа пролази кроз сваки град и село, проповедајући и доносећи радосну вест [јеванђеље] о царству Божијем. Лука 16:16 Закон и пророци су били до Јована. Од тада се проповеда Царство Божије, и сви га притискају. Матеј 24:14 И лакше је да прођу небо и земља него да пропадне једна глава закона. И ово јеванђеље о царству биће проповедано по целом свету као сведочанство свим народима, и тада ће доћи крај. Најава „добре вести“ — најбоље вести која се данас могла чути — коју је Отац дао преко Јешуе, била је о успостављању Његовог Краљевства на земљи. Шта је краљевство? То је у суштини нација, са свим својим грађанима, земљом и законима, којом влада влада. У библијској употреби, краљевство може значити и породицу од самохраног родитеља која је прерасла у нацију. Краљевство има четири основна елемента: краљ, врховни владар или управник; територија, са својом специфичном локацијом и одређеним граничним линијама; субјекти или грађани у оквиру те територијалне надлежности; и закони и облик владавине кроз који се остварује воља владара. Ако занемаримо било који од ових суштинских елемената — ако занемаримо поруку коју је Јешуа донео од Оца — имаћемо искривљену веру, ону која неће донети спасење. Ко ће бити краљ? Нема сумње да ће краљ Божјег Краљевства бити Јешуа. Иако није вршио никакву грађанску власт док је био на земљи, када се врати, биће „Краљ над царевима и Господар над господарима“ 1. Тимотеју 6:15; Ревелатион 19:16; 17:14). Други пророци су такође прорекли долазак краља, не само Израела и Јудеје, већ и који ће се проширити на цео свет. Исаија нам каже: Јер нам се Дете роди, Син нам се даде; и власт ће бити на Његовом рамену. И зваће се име Његово Дивни, Саветник, Бог моћни, Отац вечни, Кнез мира. Повећању Његове власти и мира неће бити краја, на Давидовом престолу и над Његовим царством, да се то нареди и утврди судом и правдом од тог времена па надаље, чак и заувек. Ревност Господа над војскама учиниће то. (Исаија 9:6-7) Где ће бити успостављено Краљевство? Доминантна лаж коју је Сатана наметнуо човечанству јесте веровање да нечија душа одлази на небо након смрти. Многи људи претпостављају да је израз Краљевство Божије синоним за небо, али Библија учи да ће, када се Јешуа врати, Краљевство Божје бити успостављено на земљи! Прво, приметите како Библија потпуно оповргава идеју „одласка на небо“ након смрти. Петар говори народу на дан Педесетнице: „Људи и браћо, дозволите ми да вам слободно говорим о патријарху Давиду, да је и мртав и погребен, и да је његов гроб са нама до данас. .. Јер Давид није узашао на небо" (Дела 2:29, 34). Овај „човек по срцу Божијем" није на небу, него је још у гробу! Наш Спаситељ то потврђује у Јован 3:13: „Нико није узашао на небо осим Онај који је сишао с неба, то јест Син Човечији који је на небу. Проповедник 9:5,10 Мртви свеци Старог и Новог Завета подједнако спавају у својим гробовима, чекајући васкрсење – без свести. Јов 14:14-15 Јов описује чекање васкрсења на овај начин: „Ако човек умре, хоће ли поново оживети? Све дане своје тешке службе чекаћу, док ми не дође промена. Ти ћеш позвати, а ја ћу одговорити ти. Откривење 5:10, „И учинио си их царством (краљевским родом) и свештеницима Богу нашем, и они ће царовати на земљи!“ Откривење 11:15 Тада седми анђео затруби: И на небу бише јаки гласови који говоре; „Краљевства овога света постала су краљевства нашег Јехове и Његовог Сина, и Он ће владати у векове векова!“ Откривење 21:21. И видех ново небо и нову земљу, јер прво небо и прва земља прођоше. Такође више није било мора. Тада ја, Јован, видех свети град, Нови Јерусалим, како силази с неба од Бога, припремљен као невеста украшена мужу свом. И чух јак глас с неба који говори: „Ево, шатор Божији је са људима, и Он ће пребивати с њима, и они ће бити Његов народ. Сам Бог ће бити с њима и бити њихов Бог. Уклони сваку сузу из очију њихових, неће више бити смрти, ни туге, ни плача, неће више бити бола, јер је оно раније прошло. _цц781905-5цде-3194-бб3б-136бад5цф58д_… Откривење 21:1 Онај који победи наследиће све, а ја ћу бити његов Бог и он ће бити мој син." Ко су поданици и грађани Краљевства? Иако ће целим светом владати Јешуа када успостави Краљевство на на земљи, неће сви на земљи бити грађани тог Царства.Сви ће бити потчињени Цару над краљевима, али неће сви ући у то духовно Царство. Јован 3:3 Јешуа је открио ову истину Никодиму. Када му је Никодим дошао ноћу, Јешуа му је рекао: „Заиста, кажем ти, ако се неко не роди наново, неће видети царство Божије“. 1. Коринћанима 15:50. Павле је рекао Коринћанима „месо и крв [смртни људи] не могу наследити Царство Божије; нити поквареност наслеђује нетрулежност“ Док имамо физичко тело од крви и меса, можда смо наследници Царства, али не можемо ући потпуно у Царство, нити га можемо видети, све док не постанемо дух – дато нам је славно тело састављено од духа у васкрсењу. То значи да, иако ће читаво човечанство бити потчињено Краљевству којим ће Јешуа владати на земљи, они неће нужно бити његов део. Матеј 25:31-34 Када дође Син Човечији у слави својој, и сви свети анђели с њим, тада ће седети на престолу славе своје. Пред Њим ће се сабрати сви народи, и Он ће их одвојити једног од другог, као што пастир дели овце своје од јараца. И поставиће овце на своју десну руку, а козе на леву. Тада ће Цар рећи онима с Његове десне стране: „Дођите, благословени Оца Мога, наследите Царство које вам је припремљено од постања света“. Краљевством Божијим ће, дакле, владати Јешуа, а наследиће га они који су прослављени ускрснућем из мртвих. Васкрсли свеци — грађани Божјег Краљевства — ће владати заједно са Јешуа над осталим народима на земљи (Данило 7:27; 2. Тимотеју 2:12; Откривење 2:26-28; 5:9-10; 20:4-6; 22:5). Шта су закони Краљевства? Судије 21:25. Закон је једноставно водич за људе који треба да се придржавају како би осигурали кохезију, договор и мир у грађанским и међуљудским односима. Без схваћеног стандарда, који спроводи суверени владар, свако би деловао по сопственом хиру или жељи, и ништа добро или вредно не би било произведено. Царство Божије није другачије. 1. Коринћанима 14:33 Бог није аутор забуне. Његово Царство ће бити мирно и уредно јер ће се свако ко у њега уђе добровољно потчинити закону – заповестима – Божијим. Бог неће имати никога у свом Царству ко покаже, по узору на свој живот, да Му се неће покоравати. (Матеј 7:21-23; Јеврејима 10:26-31). Откривење 12:17 описује свете као оне „који држе заповести Божије и имају сведочанство Јешуино. Ове две изјаве – волети Бога и волети ближњега свога као самога себе – обухватају прве четири и последњих шест заповести. Заповести само даље дефинишу како волети Бога и волети човека. Ми волимо Бога уопштено тако што га стављамо на прво место, не усвајамо физичка помагала у обожавању Њега, што не носимо узалуд Његово име и што светујемо суботу седмог дана. Ми волимо човека, уопште, тако што поштујемо своје родитеље, не убијамо, не чинимо прељубу, не крадемо, не лажемо и не жудимо. Јован 14:15 „Ако ме волите, чувајте моје заповести. „Ко има моје заповести и држи их, он ме воли. А ко мене љуби, љубиће га Отац мој, и ја ћу га волети и јавити Себе њему“. „Ако ме ко љуби, чуваће реч моју; и Отац ће га волети, и ми ћемо доћи к њему и настанићемо се код њега. није Мој него Оци који су Ме послали“. The Gospel (in Hebrew, the Besorah—"good news") that Yeshua (Jesus) personally preached is summarized in Mark 1:14–15: "Now after John was put in prison, Yeshua came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, 'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.'" While modern ears often hear "the gospel" defined exclusively as the mechanics of individual salvation (how to go to heaven when you die), Yeshua’s proclamation was broader, deeper, and grounded in the Hebrew Scriptures: the Gospel of the Kingdom of God (Besorat HaMalkhut). He announced that the sovereign rule, authority, and covenant reign of the Creator had broken directly into this fallen world through the King Himself. 1. "The Time is Fulfilled" (Prophetic Arrival) When Yeshua said the time was fulfilled, He was speaking to a nation longing for deliverance. The prophecies of Daniel (the timeline of Daniel 9 and the stone that crushes the kingdoms of the world in Daniel 2) and Isaiah were reaching their climax. In Luke 4:18–19, He opened the scroll of Isaiah 61 in the Nazareth synagogue to define His mandate: Preaching good tidings to the poor and humble. Healing the brokenhearted. Proclaiming liberty to the captives and the opening of prison to those who are bound. Proclaiming the acceptable year of the Lord (the ultimate Jubilee release from sin and debt). 2. "The Kingdom of God is at Hand" (The Core Proclamation) Yeshua did not preach an abstract philosophy; He preached an active government and reign: Sovereignty over the Kingdom of Darkness: Every time Yeshua cast out a demon, healed incurable diseases, or raised the dead, He was demonstrating that Satan’s usurpation of the earth was being overthrown. "If I cast out demons by the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you" (Luke 11:20). The Nature of the King’s Reign: His kingdom was not of this worldly system—it did not advance through political intrigue, violence, or human armies (John 18:36). Instead, it advanced through truth, sacrificial love, humility, and righteousness. Present and Future: The Kingdom is already here in the hearts and walk of those who submit to the King, and it is yet to come in its physical, global fullness when the King returns to establish His reign in Jerusalem (Zechariah 14; Revelation 11:15). 3. "Repent" (Teshuvah — A Complete Return) To enter this Kingdom, the requirement was not a passive intellectual nod, but Teshuvah—a radical turning around: Turning from Self-Rule to God's Rule: Repentance means laying down rebellion, secular autonomy, and false religious pretenses. Internalizing the Commandments: In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7), Yeshua explained the constitution of the Kingdom. He made it clear that He did not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, but to fill them to the full (Matthew 5:17). Kingdom repentance goes beyond external legalism to the motives of the heart—eradicating lust, hatred, pride, and greed. Fruit of Repentance: Just as John the Baptist warned, Yeshua taught that true repentance always bears observable, righteous fruit (Matthew 7:16–21). 4. "Believe in the Good News" (Covenant Faith & Allegiance) In the biblical mindset, "belief" (emunah) is not merely agreeing that God exists; it is active loyalty, trust, and obedience to the King: Trusting the Father’s Provision: Ceasing to worry about food, drink, and clothing like the nations do, but rather "seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (Matthew 6:33). Trusting the Sacrifice of the Son: Yeshua taught that He came "not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). The Good News is that the King took the curse of our disobedience upon Himself at Passover, shedding His blood to ratify the New Covenant (Matthew 26:28). Victory Over the Grave: Yeshua promised that whoever hears His word and believes Him who sent Him has passed from death into life (John 5:24), anchored by His own resurrection as the firstfruits from the dead. 5. Summary: What Entering the Gospel Requires In Yeshua's own words, walking in the Gospel means: Denying Self: "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me" (Luke 9:23). Obeying the Father's Will: "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven" (Matthew 7:21). Loving God and Neighbor: Loving the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and loving your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:29–31). Proclaiming the Kingdom to All Nations: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come" (Matthew 24:14). In short, the Gospel Yeshua taught is the royal proclamation that God’s reign has arrived in His Messiah, calling every human heart to turn away from sin, enter covenant peace with the Father through the Son, and live as an obedient citizen of His eternal Kingdom. In ancient kingdoms, when a king ascended his throne, he issued a royal charter or legal code declaring how his realm would be governed and what was expected of his subjects. In Matthew 5–7, Yeshua goes up on a mountain—echoing Moses ascending Mount Sinai—sits down in the posture of a reigning king and teacher, and delivers the manifesto of His newly inaugurated reign. The Sermon on the Mount is not an impractical, idealistic philosophy, nor is it a checklist to earn salvation. It is the living, practical constitution of the Kingdom of God, dictating the character, inner motives, ethics, and daily allegiance required of every citizen walking under Messiah's rule. 1. The Preamble: The Citizen’s Internal Disposition (The Beatitudes) Any national constitution opens with foundational values. Earthly empires prize military conquest, political clout, wealth, and self-assertion. Yeshua begins His charter (Matthew 5:3–12) by turning the world's value system completely upside down: Poor in Spirit: Recognizing total spiritual bankruptcy and utter dependence on the King. Mourning: Grieving over personal sin and the brokenness of a fallen world. Meekness: Possessing harnessed strength, patience, and humility rather than violent ambition. Hunger for Righteousness: Longing for God’s righteous order to prevail more than craving food or physical comfort. Mercy and Purity of Heart: Extending forgiveness and maintaining undivided, uncorrupted loyalty to God. Peacemaking: Actively reconciling estranged parties, reflecting the character of the Father. These are not separate groups of people receiving different rewards; together, they describe the temperament of the citizen who has laid down self-rule. 2. The Citizen’s Public Office: Salt and Light Citizens of the Kingdom do not live in isolationist enclaves; they are embedded directly into a decaying and dark culture (Matthew 5:13–16): Salt of the Earth: In antiquity, salt was a preservative that arrested rot and decay. Kingdom citizens preserve truth, hold back moral corruption, and bring spiritual flavor to the societies they inhabit. Light of the World: Light exposes danger and guides the traveler. Believers do not hide their allegiance to the King; their visible, tangible good works shine so that observers give glory directly to the Father. 3. The Legal Standard: Fulfilling and Internalizing the Law In Matthew 5:17–20, Yeshua establishes the legal framework of His government, dispelling any thought of lawlessness or anarchy: "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." To "fulfill" (pleroo) in Hebrew thought means to bring the law to its fullest intended meaning and expression, not to abolish it. Yeshua contrasts the superficial, external legalism of the religious establishment with the King’s internal standard. Through a series of six antitheses ("You have heard that it was said... but I say to you"), He shows that the King's law governs the thoughts and desires before an act is ever committed: Murder vs. Contempt: It is not enough to refrain from physical murder; harboring bitter anger, resentment, or hurling venomous insults (Raca) makes one liable to judgment (5:21–26). Adultery vs. Lust: Purity is not just refraining from physical unfaithfulness; looking with covetous intent is adultery in the heart (5:27–30). Oaths vs. Total Integrity: Citizens do not need elaborate religious oaths or legal loopholes to verify their truthfulness; their word is their bond—their "Yes" means yes, and their "No" means no (5:33–37). Retaliation vs. Sacrificial Generosity: Rather than demanding immediate vengeance ("an eye for an eye"), citizens yield personal rights, go the extra mile, and overcome evil with good (5:38–42). Love for Enemies: The ultimate test of Kingdom citizenship is reflecting the Father’s indiscriminate benevolence—praying for persecutors and blessing those who curse you (5:43–48). 4. Public Duty & Worship: Sincerity Over Religious Theater In Matthew 6, Yeshua regulates the three primary pillars of personal religious duty: giving, prayer, and fasting. In earthly systems, piety is often weaponized for social prestige. In the Kingdom, performance art is condemned: Secret Giving (Alms): Giving to the needy without sounding a trumpet or announcing tax write-offs; the left hand does not know what the right is doing. Secret Prayer: Communing behind closed doors with the Father, rather than reciting vain, repetitive words to impress bystanders. He provides the Model Prayer (the Lord's Prayer), teaching citizens to align their desires with the Father’s name, His kingdom coming, and His will being done on earth. Secret Fasting: Anointing the head and washing the face so that the physical affliction of fasting is unseen by men, directed only to the Father who sees in secret. 5. The Economic System: Trust, Not Striving Every kingdom has an economy. The economy of the world is driven by fear, scarcity, hoarding, and status anxiety. The Kingdom of God operates on radical faith in divine provision (Matthew 6:19–34): Currency: True wealth is not stored in physical barns, bank vaults, or commodities where moth and rust destroy; it is stored in heaven through generous, righteous living. Singular Focus: A servant cannot serve two masters. You cannot pledge allegiance to the Creator while serving Mammon (wealth/money). Freedom from Worry: Citizens do not sweat and panic over daily bread or clothing like the pagans do. The King feeds the birds of the air and clothes the lilies of the field. The citizen's sole operational directive is: "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6:33) 6. Relational Protocol: Righteous Discernment Without Self-Righteous Condemnation In Matthew 7:1–12, Yeshua sets the rules for how citizens treat one another: The Spec and the Log: Before attempting to perform delicate eye surgery on a brother’s fault, remove the massive log of blind self-righteousness from your own eye. Holy Discernment: While judgment is warned against, discernment is commanded—do not cast pearls before swine or give what is sacred to dogs. Persistent Petitions: Keep asking, seeking, and knocking, trusting that the Father gives good gifts to His children. The Royal Rule (The Golden Rule): "Whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." (Matthew 7:12) 7. The Ratification: Hearing vs. Doing A constitution is useless if it is merely read and debated rather than obeyed. Yeshua concludes His address with four sobering warnings demanding personal allegiance: Two Gates: The wide, crowded gate leading to destruction versus the narrow, difficult gate leading to life (7:13–14). Two Trees: True prophets and false prophets, known not by their charisma or titles, but by their actual fruit (7:15–20). Two Confessions: Warning that crying "Lord, Lord" or performing signs in His name is worthless if one practices lawlessness (anomia). Only those who do the will of the Father will enter (7:21–23). Two Foundations: The sermon ends with a dramatic builder’s test. The person who hears these words and builds on them is a wise man who digs deep and anchors his house on the solid bedrock. When the storms, floods, and winds beat against that life, it stands firm. The person who hears and does not obey builds on shifting sand—and great is the fall of it (7:24–27). When Yeshua concluded, the crowds were astonished. He did not quote human traditions or cite precedent like the scribes; He spoke as the Lawgiver and King Himself, laying down the permanent, unalterable rule of life for all who call Him Lord.

John 3:16 says: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Meaning: “God so loved the world” — God's love extends to all people. “He gave his one and only Son” — God sent His Son for the salvation of mankind. “Whoever believes in him” — The promise is available to anyone who places their faith and trust in Him. “Shall not perish” — Believers are delivered from eternal separation from God. “But have eternal life” — They receive everlasting life with God. Simple Summary: John 3:16 teaches that God loved humanity so much that He gave His Son so that those who believe in Him may receive eternal life rather than perish. Context: These words were spoken by Jesus during a conversation with Nicodemus about the necessity of being born again and entering the Kingdom of God. Are you Born again Yes, that is a profound structural truth in God's plan. Yeshua was literally the first human to be physically raised from the dead into an immortal, glorified body. Scripture calls Him "the firstborn from the dead" (Colossians 1:18) and the "firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep" (1 Corinthians 15:20). By looking at Christ's physical resurrection, we get the exact blueprint for what happens to the saints. The Pattern: Firstfruits and the Harvest In the biblical agricultural cycle—which God uses to explain His plan of salvation—the priest would wave the single sheaf of the Firstfruits harvest before the Father. Only after that first sheaf was accepted could the rest of the harvest be gathered. Yeshua fulfilled this perfectly. He rose as the perfect Firstfruits. Because He broke the power of physical death, those who belong to Him will follow the exact same pattern when He returns. The Ultimate Transformation When the saints are raised at His second coming, they don't return as temporary, mortal flesh like Lazarus did. They receive a physical, permanent, immortal body just like the one Yeshua walked out of the tomb with. As Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:52-53: "...the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality." Connecting Physical Resurrection to the Law This physical reality hits modern church traditions with an undeniable challenge: If Yeshua is the firstborn of a brand-new creation, and we are waiting to be physically raised into glorified bodies just like His, why would we live our temporary lives in rebellion to the laws He obeyed? When Yeshua walked the earth in His physical body, He perfectly kept the Sabbath, the dietary laws, and the Feasts. When He rose from the dead, He didn't change. For a Christian to claim they are waiting to inherit a resurrection body like Christ's, while actively treating His Father's commandments as dead, is a total disconnect. "Yeshua told Nicodemus that what is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit, moving like the wind. If you claim you are already fully 'born again' right now, why are you still trapped in a temporary body of flesh and blood instead of a glorified, immortal spirit body? Are you confusing the earnest promise of the Holy Spirit inside you today with the actual, physical rebirth that only happens at the resurrection of the dead?" Jesus Teaches Nicodemus 3 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” 3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[ a ]” 4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” 5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[ b ] gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[ c ] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[ d ] 9 “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked. 10 “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.[ e ] 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[f ] 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 1. "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart" Meaning: Total dependence on God, not self-reliance (Prov 28:26). Insight: Relational surrender to God’s unchanging character. 2. "And lean not unto thine own understanding" Meaning: Reject intellectual pride; human wisdom is flawed (Prov 14:12). 3. "In all thy ways acknowledge him" Meaning: Constant God-consciousness in every area (Col 3:17). Insight: Turns daily life into guided obedience. 4. "And he shall direct thy paths" Meaning: God’s promise of sovereign guidance (Ps 37:23).
