Messiah said: the truth will make you free, many translate it as: set you free. The word make, is constructive in making a change; whereas set free, describes more of a release from bondage. When we ‘make’ something, there is construction and the result is change.
In Hebrew, the word for truth, emet (אֱמֶת), contains the first, middle, and the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet,
Alef Mem Tav,
indicating that truth encompasses all things and endures from the beginning to the end and everything in-between.
Messiah not only effects freedom from the bondage of sin and death but also causes a change in us making us a new creation in Him.
Truth is not based upon or proved on facts.
Facts are not always Truth – emet – אֱמֶת .
Messiah said: I AM the way the truth and the life. (Derek Emet Chaim.) The words of the Father, Messiah and Their Spirit of Holiness are Truth. Ruach haKodesh is the spirit of truth. The Father is truth, Yeshua His only begotten son is the truth; He is also the Derek-Way and the Chaim – lifes.
What is really behind the changes in our weather patterns and the extreme swings we are seeing world-wide? It is by our Heavenly Father’s decrees, He is in control of everything because this is His creation. Science gives answers which are not our Fathers TRUTHS.
The only motive of this post is to give readers an opportunity to think, to encourage readers to look at some recorded historical information; and to confirm by their own personal research and/ or inner conviction by His Holy Spirit, that much of what we have been told for centuries and in some cases thousands of years is not the ‘whole truth and nothing but the truth’.
The signs of the end times are found in scripture particularly Matthew 24 and also in Mark 13:1–8; Luke 21:5–9, and from physical evidence all around us it is a 99.9% certainty that we are in the closing moments of the age of grace/ age of the church, the ecclesia.
The time of the end, the latter days.
The Greek phrase “in the last days” (ἐν ἐσχάταις ἡμέραις) refers to the prophesied “End of Days,” sometimes called acharit ha-yamim (אַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים) in Hebrew.
Also called Jacobs trouble and tribulation, and other terms that apply to the timeline. Whether months, weeks, days and seasons that unfold just prior to Messiah being told by His Father to bring a final conclusion to this age. And only the Father knows, and we must not be deceived by those who are giving dates or speak of being raptured and taken out of it all. We are to endure to the end, Matt. 24:13-15
36No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,g but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.39And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.
42Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come. 43But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.
45Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time? 46Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
48But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’ 49And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. 51Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The scriptures only speak of Messiah coming back one time. The verses in 1 Thess. 16-17 says that the dead in Christ are raised first and those who are alive when that happens are changed in the twinkling of an eye are caught up to meet Him in the air.
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Then judgment falls on those not changed.
We are not to be looking for an easy exit we are to
endure to the end, having done all to stand firm in the faith.
And only our Heavenly Father knows when that is.
The signs symbols and seasons are also clear, there will be a great falling away and the wicked one will be revealed first.
Then the lawless one will be revealed and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of His mouth and bring him to an end by the appearance of His coming. 2Thess. 2:8
So we will know who he is and we don’t have to waste time looking for him or guessing who it may be. Clearly we will know without a doubt. Secondly we will still be here on earth when he is revealed that is how we will know who it is. The whole pre, mid, or post tribulation is a divisive diversion from scriptural events and if we are focusing on them and which one it is, we are focusing on the wrong things.
We are to be about our Fathers business and to occupy til He comes. Sharing His good news making disciples, who will in turn share the good news and make more disciples. Feed the hungry etc., do what Messiah Yeshua/Jesus taught us to do. The days prior to His return, (not plural, returns,) are clearly detailed as to what the world will be like, what people will be like, and what physical events in the earth will be like.
2Tim.3:1-5 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
The earth is groaning and we see it in the increase in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and weather extremes. The earth is responding to the weight of sin and is filled with violence which occupies humanities days. Messiah’s own words told us clearly what it will be like and so did Isaiah in chapter 24:20 KJV: The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
The earth shall stagger like a drunken man, and shall sway to and fro like a hammock; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again. – ASV
There are other references as well as those in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Revelation, they are also in Joel Zechariah Daniel and Ezekiel….
It’s not a secret, it is not hidden, it’s plain and clear and detailed and it is going to be worse than anything that has happened before this time or ever will be again…In Messiahs words:
Matthew 24:21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again. 22 If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved.
In John 16:33 Jesus said in this world you will have tribulation it started 2000 years ago, we were all born into tribulation.
In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished,
When John wrote in Revelation 6 of Messiah opening the first 4 seals, revealing the 4 horsemen of conqueror, war, famine, death and hell, today it would seem that they are already riding. There is no doubt there has been no peace in the world, with war after war; then famine and poverty has followed with death and hell right on their heels. These have all increased in intensity and as Messiah said in Luke 21:28 when you see all these things begin to come to pass (all at the same time), look up for your redemption draws near. He also said the generation that sees this happening will not pass until all has been fulfilled.
Matt 24:34 and Luke21:32 and Mark 13:30 The generation of people who see the signs – the trials: and final, hard labor pains – described in the previous verses that we know as the Tribulation. That “generation will by no means pass away till all [the things Jesus just discussed] take place.” Everything Jesus prophesied of in the chapter will occur within one generation.
Just as in the days of Noah and Lot, God intervened. He is the same yesterday today and forever and the day of reckoning is upon us; He is near even at the door.
The generation that saw the budding of the fig tree, Israel become a nation in a day 1948 will not pass. Those who remember the rebirth of Israel as a nation are in their mid 80’s and would have had to be old enough to understand what was happening.The age of the days of Grace are coming to an end and as the number of the gentiles to come into the kingdom of God is quickly being fulfilled,
For salvation (final deliverance) is nearer to us now thanwhen wefirstbelieved (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Christ, the Messiah). Romans 13:11
“The times of the Gentiles” is the biblical designation for a period of time beginning with the Babylonian Captivity (606 BC in which non-Jews have dominion over the world. This extends from the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem and will end with the physical return of Messiah.
Our focus should be on reaching those who are lost and most importantly making certain our life is right before our Heavenly Father. Not putting off until tomorrow what we can do today . Forgiving everyone of wrongs done to us and seeking forgiveness ourselves. Walking in faith covered by the precious blood of our Lord and Savior Yeshua haMashiach, Jesus Christ. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.
Our Father must have overcomers for these closing moments, we are here and we are to endure to the end. It doesn’t sound too happy a time. It is easy for us to imagine that we will suddenly come to a point in our lives where we are fully prepared, but preparation is not suddenly accomplished. In fact it is a process that must be steadily maintained. It is dangerous to become settled and complacent in our present level of experience. The walk along the narrow way requires preparation and more preparation.
Messiah’s teaching can be summarized like this: the relationship He demands of us is an impossible one unless He has done a supernatural work in us. He demands that His disciples do not allow even the slightest trace of resentment in their hearts when faced with abuse, control and injustice. No amount of enthusiasm will ever stand up to the strain that Messiah will allow upon His servants. The only thing that will be able to bear the strain is a personal relationship with Him. One that has been examined, purified, tested and tried; until only one purpose remains and we can truly say, I am here for God to send me where He chooses.
The sermon on the mount is not unattainable because it’s a statement of what will happen in us when Messiah has changed our nature. He is the only one who can fulfill the sermon on the mount. It is a supernatural work and we cannot do it, we simply yield to Him to work in us according to His good pleasure. It is completed inGalatians 5:20 If we have been crucified with Christ then our selfish desires are also dead, and we must read this carefully ….the life that I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. His new life will become ours in direct proportion to our success in emptying our hearts of self-will, and we have to do that, we have to will it, He will not force us to be an overcomer, it’s our choice.
The time to get ready is NOW, today, before we face hard situations, not when those situations take us by surprise. We are not to be off guard but ready spiritually. We are to show forth the fruit of His spirit which cannot be produced by the carnal nature of man, only by the spirit of the living God within. We can’t suppress evil by ourselves we need His help to be delivered and to kill the old nature, to crucify it daily.
When His divine life is operating in our human heart it creates the fruit of the spirit. His spirit within us is manifest as we get out of the way. Love, joy and peace were natural to Messiah but are foreign to mans’ fallen nature. We will never produce them by speaking to suppress evil emotion. He brings them forth as we allow Him to live in us from our innermost being. His truth will make us free and will support and increase the measure of faith imparted to us.
We must not deny the truth of the word by preferring our own interpretation because there is no natural or political solution to a problem with a spiritual root. The situation will not change until our Father decrees it is time for Him to step onto the scene. We need to stop looking for an easy life of compromise, an easy and painless exit with our ticket to heaven and no effort on our part; and with no real understanding of the cost of our salvation and the price that was paid in Messiahs blood. It’s time to count the cost for those who are called by His name. John said in 1John 2:18-23
18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. That was over 2000 years ago, now we are in the last seconds, be ready spiritually, be prepared mentally for the days that are ahead. Read Matthew 24, Luke21:32 and Mark 13:30 for the details of the things which are already happening to the earth. Read the verses and then watch the news reports, we are right there.
Romans 8:22 says that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth since the fall of mankind.
Time will prove all things. And His emet/truth alone will remain. Always remember His promises because we have a glorious future.
There will be a new heaven, a new earth. There will be no more pain, no more tears for those who accept Jesus as Lord. The earth will be new and sin will no longer have its dominion over us.
Only one life soon is past, only what’s done for Christ will last.
Whatever we choose to believe we need to be ready at any moment. He told us to stay alert, to watch and pray,
Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. Mark 11:33.
because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect
and the moment of your personal
‘catching away’ may be today.
Don’t be caught off guard!
For further details, information and insights please read:
Make certain Messiah Jesus/Yeshua is your Redeemer, Savior, Lord, Deliverer and soon returning King; and that you have a personal relationship with Him.
It’s all about Life and Relationship, NOT Religion.
You are very precious in His sight.
Not sure ..you can be…
SIMPLY SAY THE FOLLOWING MEANING IT FROM YOUR HEART..don’t delay one more minute,
SAY IT RIGHT NOW…
Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name.
Messiah said: the truth will make you free, many translate it as: set you free. The word make, is constructive in making a change; whereas set free, describes more of a release from bondage. When we ‘make’ something, there is construction and the result is change.
