REPENT! The Kingdom of Elohiym is at hand!
The message of our Messiah,
the true eye witnesses to His teachings and the message of all of the prophets in the Old Testament is the same, it is repent.
Today I will start by examining what repentance is.
There is a word in the Hebrew that the Strong’s
concordance uses in some instances for being remorseful or sorry, it is;
OT:5162
nacham
(naw-kham'); a primitive root; properly, to sigh, i.e. breathe strongly; by implication, to be sorry, i.e. (in a favorable
sense) to pity, console or (reflexively) rue; or (unfavorably) to avenge (oneself):
There is also another
word used in the Old Testament for repenting used in reference to returning unto or restoring. It is Strong’s number;
OT:7725
shuwb (shoob); a primitive root; TO TURN BACK (hence, away) transitively or intransitively,
literally or figuratively (not necessarily with the idea of return to the starting point); generally to retreat; often adverbial,
again:
It carries a different meaning of returning to Yehweh, returning to the commands, the truth that
sets us free. It is a matter of changing direction
Isa 55:6-7
6 Seek YEHWEH
while he may be found, call upon Him while He is near:
7 Let the
wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and LET HIM RETURN unto YEHWEH, and He will have mercy upon
him; to our Elohiym, for He will abundantly pardon.
Isa 58:12-14
12 And
they that shall be of you shall build the old waste places: you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you
shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The RESTORER of paths to dwell in.
Jer 18:11
11 Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
Thus says YEHWEH; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: RETURN YE now everyone from his evil
way, and make your ways and your doings good.
Ezek 14:6
6 Therefore
say unto the house of Israel, Thus says YEHWEH Elohiym; REPENT , and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces
from all your abominations.
In what is called the New Testament we see the Greek word for repent
is;
NT:3340
metanoeo (met-an-o-eh'-o); from NT:3326 and NT:3539; TO THINK DIFFERENTLY
or afterwards, i.e. reconsider (morally, feel compunction):
NT:3539
noeo
(no-eh'-o) or noieo (noy-eh'-o); from NT:3563; to exercise the mind (OBSERVE), i.e. (figuratively) to comprehend, HEED:
Let’s look at the context of how the texts used this Greek word;
Matt 3:1-3
3:1
In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
2 And saying, REPENT: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The
voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make your paths straight.
Matt 4:17
17 From that time Yehshua began to preach, and to say, REPENT : for the kingdom of heaven is at
hand.
Rev 2:4-5
4 nevertheless I have somewhat against
you, because you have left your first love.
5 Remember therefore
from whence you are fallen, and REPENT , and do the first works; or else I will come unto you quickly, and will remove your
candlestick out of his place, except you repent .
Rev 2:16
16 REPENT
; or else I will come unto you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Rev
2:21
21 And I gave her space to REPENT of her fornication; and she repented not.
Rev 2:22-23
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them
that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they REPENT of their deeds.
23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searches
the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Rev 3:3
3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and REPENT . If
therefore you shall not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and you shalt not know what hour I will come upon you.
Rev 3:19
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and
REPENT .
So it is clear from these passages and the way the Hebrew language uses the description
of “returning to” that scripture teaches us to not lean to our own understanding. We are to forsake our ways and
turn to His ways.
It is not up to our choice of how we are to follow Him or worship Him. It is a matter of embracing
His ways, loving His plan, loving His instructions and walking in them.
Prov 3:1-8
3:1
My son, forget not my law; but let your heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to you.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you: bind them about your neck; write them upon the table of your heart:
4 So shall you find favor and good understanding in the sight of Elohiym and man.
5 Trust in YEHWEH with all
of your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding .
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct
your paths.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes: fear YEHWEH, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health
to your navel, and marrow to your bones.
Solomon is recording a way of thinking that honors our
Creator. If we examine the Israelites in the Old Testament writings, they are always going astray. No different than our Messiah’s
admonitions to the church eras recorded by John in the book of revelations.
He actually tells peter in Mt 16:23
to get from Him and referred to him as satan because he disagreed with Him and he leaned on his own understanding. Yehshua
tells peter that he is an offense to Him in this passage.
Matt 16:22-24
22 Then
Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from you, Lord: this shall not be unto you.
23
But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get you behind
me, satan : you are an offence to me: for you savor not the things that be of Elohiym, BUT THOSE THAT BE OF MEN.
24 Then said Yehshua unto His disciples, If
any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
So, what
must we do? We must repent. We must think differently. We must change and seek to live by His every word. We must walk that
narrow path that was given to us to walk on.
Eccl 12:12 - Song 1:1
12 And
further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: FEAR
ELOHIYM, AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN.
14 For
Elohiym shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
For nearly six thousand years man has rejected his Creator and has made Him in their image, whom they perceive
Him to be or whom they want Him to be. They have lived lies rejecting His very instructions that would give them life.
His instructions teach us how to love, how to live. They perfect us in His image.
But we know better, we want to
listen to smooth words that take us away from His will. Smooth words spoken by men who know a better way, who twist and pervert
His words.
The kingdom of heaven is at hand. We are in those final days before Yehshua will return in power and
glory. There will be a resurrection of the first fruits of Yehweh’s family. This is the first resurrection in whom the
second death will have no power over. These first fruits will be given eternal life and will be clothed in white garments.
They will return with Yehshua as He returns to restore all that is true, to repair all that has been perverted
by man.
The message for this entire age of man has been for Him to repent and turn to his Creator. If you are unable
to make this choice or follow through with it, you will have no part in His kingdom, plain and simple. Nor will you be brought
through these coming days to see the return of your
Messiah.
Now is the time to turn to Him. The world is
getting ready to be hurled into a time when man will be brought low. This time is prophesied about throughout scripture. The
destruction throughout the world will usher in the Kingdom of Elohiym, those who have yielded to His perfect plan that brings
us into agreement with Him.
If you want to live through these coming months ahead, you will need to humble yourself
and forsake the lies taught to you by those who have made desolate the instructions of our Creator. You will need to cry out
to Him in truth.
If you say that you believe in the true Son of Elohiym and your actions or your lack of obedience
to the instructions show you do not “do” or practice the truth, you are a liar and the truth has no place in you.
If you say you know Yehweh Elohiym and you keep not the commandments, you are a liar.
Matt 24:45-46
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household,
to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom
his lord when He comes SHALL FIND SO DOING.
Believing is doing. Our beliefs are reflected in our
actions.
If you believe in a Jesus that does not command you to live by every word of Elohiym, it is a make believe
Jesus created by man’s fables and ideas. Yehshua taught us CLEARLY to live by every word of Elohiym.
If you
think observing man’s holidays like Christmas or easter are obeying your creator, you will die in your sins just as
the millions whom have gone before you have died in their sins.
If you think that going to church on Sunday or
Saturday, the day the those who claim to be Jewish fixed on the pagan roman calendar in the 4th century, in doing so if you
think you are obeying Yehweh’s instructions, you deceive yourself. You do not believe His word. You do not believe His
truth. He outlines when His appointed times are in scripture for those who will choose to believe Him and obey Him.
Now is the time to repent, to change from believing the lies that have been given to us by the deceiver.
If you
are unwilling to hearken to the truth as He restores it to prepare a people for the return of the King, you will not live
into this new era of time which is a thousand year reign of the Kingdom of Heaven.
If you seek truth, you will
find that it is simply a matter of believing your Elohiym and trusting in Him. You will need to get rid of pre-conceived ideas
that will get in the way of you seeing the truth. These pre-conceived ideas cloud the light just as they have for 6 millennia.
Of these truths that are being restored before Yehshua’s return are the truths about the timing of ‘El
Shadai’s set apart times; His feasts and His weekly Sabbaths of rest which teach us about His will and His plan to build
a family.
We have reached a point in time where man has perverted nearly everything under the sway of the deceiver.
The word of Elohiym has had little place in men who profess they obey Him.
The answer remains steadfast;
Isa 66:1-2
66:1 Thus says YEHWEH, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my
footstool: where is the house that you build unto me? And where is the place of my rest?
2 For all those things have my hand made, and those things have been, says YEHWEH: but to this man will
I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my word.
Isa 66:15-24
15 For, behold, YEHWEH will come with fire, and with His chariots like a whirlwind,
to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For
by fire and by His sword will YEHWEH plead with all flesh: and the slain of YEHWEH shall be many.
17
THEY THAT SANCTIFY THEMSELVES, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst,
eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, says YEHWEH.
18
For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and
tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
Skip down to verse 23;
23 And
it shall come to pass, that from one New Moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship
before me, says YEHWEH.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon
the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched;
and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
These days spoken of are fast approaching. Will
you hold on to the lies handed down to us that bring us away from our Creator or will you repent and hearken unto His instructions?
The choice is yours to make.
