THE SEVEN CHURCHES, PARTS 1 & 2 THE
SEVEN CHURCHES, PART I
Some of you understand that the Greek word that the word church
comes from means the called out ones.
It is referring to those whom our Creator is calling out
of the world to come to Him in order to become part of His family.
It is important to understand
that being called by Him does not mean that you are saved or that you are sealed into His family.
Yehshua plainly taught that many are called but only few are chosen. (Matthew 22:14)
He gave some starch admonition and warnings to the called out ones.
His revelations to
the Apostle John prophesied of and described 7 different groups of called out ones.
Many of you
believe that this is a prophecy for 7 different church eras in time and this is not true.
Yehshua
summarized 7 different groups with a description of 7 different sets of circumstances to conquer and overcome.
And He used the prophecy to complement the areas where we can be strong.
But then He
admonishes us by telling us that being strong in these areas is not enough.
This prophecy and
description of these 7 sets of conditions are an overview of the road map that explains what we must conquer while here in
the flesh if we are going to have eternal life awarded to us.
He also mixed in some prophecies
concerning times past and what was to follow and prophesies for the here and the now in these verses.
All
7 of these groups could apply to any of us in part or in varying degrees and parts of all 7 of them could apply to us.
I will go through these verses to review them in order to explain this.
Rev 1:17-4:1
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And He laid His right hand on me,
saying to me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
He
was the first given eternal life in His Father's family and He entered into the last stone to finish His Father's first fruits.
18 I am he that lives and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for eternity and I possess
the keys of death and the grave.
19 Therefore write
that which you behold; THAT WHICH IS AND THAT WHICH WILL BE HEREAFTER;
He was getting ready to show John a prophecy of things both for the then and for the future.
Some
of the rest of His revelations to John that are found in this book are written in like manner.
20
The secret of the seven stars which you see on my right hand and the seven golden candlesticks.
THE SEVEN STARS
are the angels (messengers) to the seven called out ones and THE
SEVEN CANDLESTICKS (the golden candle stick with 7 lamps
that is at the throne) are to the seven
called out ones.
The King James says that the seven candlesticks are the seven
churches and this is a mistranslation.
The word for church is used 19 times in the book of Revelation
and in none of these instances does the Greek text have the same grammatical notation as it has here associated with the 7
candlesticks.
It is a matter of letting scripture define scripture.
The
oil that flows out of the golden candlestick with the 7 candles burning at the throne is the 7 spirits that are given to the
called out ones to guide them.
Revelation 5:6 explains that the seven eyes are Elohiym's 7 spirits.
Zechariah 4:10-12 explains that the 7 eyes are the oil that flows out from the golden candle stand.
And Revelation 4:5 explains that the oil that flows out from the 7 lamps is His 7 spirits.
The
7 spirits are His 7 eyes and they are the oil that flow out of the candle stick and it these 7 spirits that are given to the
called out ones to guide them unless they are shut off from them.
The lampstand is not the called
out ones, however they can be given the oil that flows out from it if they are conquering and coming to His call.
The light that the 7 candles produce is YEHWEH's righteousness.
His 7 spirits teach us
His righteousness.
Revelation 2
1 Unto
the angel of the called out ones of Ephesus write; these things saith He that holds the seven stars in His right hand, who
walks in the midst of the golden candle stick with 7 lamps (that is at the throne);
2 I know your works and your labor and your continuance and how you cannot bear them
which are evil: AND YOU HAVE TRIED THEM WHICH SAY THEY ARE APOSTLES AND ARE NOT AND YOU
HAVE FOUND THEM TO BE LIARS:
3 And you have had
continuance through bearing my name and have not wearied.
He is explaining a set
of conditions that some who have been called have had and still have today.
This set of conditions
is not specific to any one era of time.
Those in this group have tried Saul's and his followers
Luke and Mark's writings and found them to be liars and to be false.
They might even have understood
Yehshua's name was His Father's word and they maybe even sought to bear His name by living His Father's word.
But then He goes on to admonish them by telling them where they were faltering;
4 But I hold this against you; BECAUSE YOU HAVE FORSAKEN YOUR FIRST LOVE.
He is saying that they do not love Him and His Father's righteousness in the manner that they ought to.
They say that they love them but they love false images of them and they give them lip service and their hearts are
far from them.
Their righteous character must be our first love.
We
cannot love a false image of them.
This group is going through the motions of obeying them on
a physical plain.
5 Therefore take thought from where you have fallen,
and repent AND DO THE FIRST WORK; otherwise I will come to you AND
WILL REMOVE HIS CANDLESTICK FROM YOU ARE UNLESS YOU REPENT.
He is saying
that this group is shut off from His Father's 7 spirits if they do not love their true righteousness that we are here to love
and to become.
We have to obey Him with the intent to become His righteousness if we are to be
given His 7 spirits to guide us into His righteousness.
And unless this group turns to loving
He and His Father's righteousness, they will continue to be shut off from His 7 spirits even though He had called them and
shown them the truth.
He goes on to even add some more good that those of you in this group do;
6 But this you do hold to, you detest the work of the Nicolaitans, which I also detest.
7 He that has an ear let
him hear what the Spirit says to the called out ones; I WILL GIVE TO HIM THAT CONQUERS TO EAT FROM
THE TREE OF LIFE which is in YEHWEH's paradise.
Is it only the called
out ones of a particular era of time that are conquering and overcoming that can eat of the tree of life?
Of course not.
The tree of life also represents YEHWEH's 7 spirits.
Notice here that He said that we can only eat of this tree if we are conquering.
Granted,
His Father gives us a measure of His spirit so that we can see some of the truth when He calls us, but we have to come to
His call to continue to receive increased measures of His spirit to guide us.
Who are the Nicolaitans
that He is speaking of?
This is a prophecy.
It was recorded prophetically.
The Strong's says that Greek name Nicolaos means victorious over the people.
It says
that it comes from two words; Nikos meaning victory and Laodikeus meaning the people of Laodicea.
Laodicea
means the people judge or the people decide.
I'll discuss the called out ones of Laodicea in part
two about how if they remain lukewarm, He will vomit them out of His mouth.
Understanding what
John recorded here that Yehshua showed him starts with understanding that all of that which opposes our Elohiym's righteousness
circles back to rebellion to His word.
Yehshua does not spell out a specific abomination because
it is about a summary of their abominations exhibited through all 7 groups.
It is about false
doctrine that leads us to rebel against our Elohiym.
The followers of Nicolaos are those who are
taken captive by man's religious doctrines that seduce them into believing into lies.
Yehshua
is telling the called out ones of Ephesus that they are doing well to despise these false doctrines.
And
He is telling them that they are doing well to continue in and to not tire in living His Father's word.
But He is also admonishing them by telling them that this is not good enough by itself.
He
is saying that if their first love is not YEHWEH's righteous image and His righteous image that they need to repent of this
or lose out.
He goes on with the next group;
Rev 2:8-10
8 And to the angel of the called out ones in Smyrna write; these things saith the first
and the last which was dead and is alive;
9
I know your affliction and poverty (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them
which say they are Jews and are not but are the synagogue of Satan.
10 Fear none of these things which you will suffer: behold, the devil will cast some of you
into prison that you may be tried and you will have affliction ten days: be faithful (CONQUER AND TRUST AND OBEY) to death and I will give you a crown of life.
11 He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith
to the called out ones; HE THAT CONQUERS WILL NOT BE HURT BY THE SECOND DEATH.
Notice after each group of the called out ones He addresses all of the called out ones with "he who has an ear
to hear, let him hear."
And each time He adds something that applies to all of the groups
if they conquer and overcome.
To this group He says that they will not be hurt by the second death.
Revelation 20:6 explains that all who conquer from which ever group or groups they were in will be part of the 1st
resurrection and not hurt by the second death.
This did not just apply to one particular era of
time.
And, like I said in the beginning, you might have traits that are described in all seven
groups in part.
The first resurrection is already sealed but those who conquer and overcome from
here on out still will not be hurt by the second death either.
I say this because the second death
is when all who do not conquer and overcome will be burnt up and dead for eternity.
Our Elohiym
recently revealed how the ten days in this prophecy was a specific prophecy for the 10 days between this past 1st
day and 10th day of the 1st month and it was.
It was a testing period that
our Elohiym built into His end time proving grounds that He has set up.
He gave some of you who
were rich with the truth that He had given to you to see over to be sifted by satan and He even announced this ahead of time
in order to warn you.
And it did test some of you and satan did put some of you who were rich
in the truth back in prison because you were expecting something to happen instead of waiting on Elohiym to tell us how this
is unfolding.
This showed that you were looking for a sign and not all in with what He is restoring.
This prophecy is also directed to a group of people who are or have been rich because they have or had the truth
given to them.
But there was some thing or some things that was or is causing them to need the
refining and sifting.
When this happens Elohiym gives us over to satan to be sifted and satan
snares some and puts them back in prison if they fail the test.
Failing the test is not hearkening
to our Elohiym.
When this happens, you are shut off from Him and cut off from the tree of life
or from the golden candlestick.
Remember, many are called, few are chosen.
And, like I said, Yehshua slipped in the prophecy in this verse for the here and the now as well with a particular
10 day period of time.
12 And to the angel of called out ones in
Pergamos write; these things saith He which has the sharp sword with two edges (His Father's
word);
13
I know where you dwell at the place where satan's seat is: and you retain my name and have not denied my faith even
in the days when Antipas was my faithful witness who was slain among you in the place where satan dwells.
14 But I hold some things against you because you have
there with you those that retain the doctrine (instructions) of Balaam who taught Balak to cast
a stumbling block before the children of Israel and you eat the unclean and commit fornication.
He taught elsewhere that the stumbling blocks are that which cause others to stumble at His Father's word.
15 In this manner you likewise have with you those that retain to the doctrine (instructions) of the Nicolaitans (which I detest)
This group is those whom He is calling out of christianity but they remain in her false doctrines in part.
They do not come all of the way out.
They might see some things about bearing His name
and how bearing His name means bearing His Father's word that is His name.
They might even see
that christianity is satan's seat but they still remain in some of the whore's false instructions.
They
might have even came out of the physical church buildings but maybe they have not denounced Saul's teachings or maybe they
still even eat unclean foods and things like this.
They are caught between the two opinions but
they see that christianity is wrong yet still hold onto some of her abominations.
His word says
that we are fornicators and adulterers to Him if we serve a false image of Him in anyway or if we adulterate His word.
Here is what He says to those of you in this group;
16 THEREFORE REPENT; or else I will come to you suddenly (like a thief in
the night), AND WILL FIGHT AGAINST YOU WITH THE SWORD OF MY MOUTH.
17 He that has an ear let
him hear what the Spirit saith to the called out ones; to him that conquers, I will give the hidden
manna and I will give him a white stone and on the stone a new name written which no man knows except he that receives
it.
Folks, this is serious.
It is time to stop playing
the harlot to the Most High.
If YEHWEH Elohiym and His righteousness that commands us to purge
out evil is the Elohiym of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, then abort ship and flee from the false images of Him.
Leave the false images of Him that you got from the doctrines of satan's seat.
YEHWEH
Elohiym is righteous.
And His word testifies to His righteousness.
If
you know that you have to keep His commandments, then start keeping them.
And stop picking and
choosing which ones you will obey.
Stop being divided between two opinions of Him, therefore worshipping
a false image of Him.
If you are doing so, you are fornicating with Him.
His
word bears witness to this.
18 And to the angel of the called out
ones in Thyatira write; these things saith the Son of Elohiym, He who has eyes like unto a flame of fire and His feet are
like fine brass;
19 I know your works, and love, and service, and faith, and your continuance, and your works; and
that the last is more than the first.
He compliments this group's works
here twice in the same verse.
And then He says that they have even grown and increased in their
works as time has gone on.
This group is not a group of slouches.
They
are a diligent group with religious fervor.
Yehshua is telling us in these verses the test involves
more than just loving others and doing Elohiym's works and more than even having true faith.
These
prophecies are admonishments from Him.
He goes on to say;
20
But I hold this against you because you forgive (pardon) that woman Jezebel
which calls herself a prophetess and teaches and seduces my servants to commit fornication and to eat the unclean.
21 And I gave her space to repent of her harlotry and
she chose not to repent.
22
Behold, I will cast her into a bed and those that commit fornication with her into great
affliction unless they repent of their works.
Folks, there are not
many of you who meet the first part of this description about being full of love and full of Elohiym's works and have true
faith.
But there are a whole lot of you who turn the other cheek to all of the false prophets
and prophetesses of the world.
Yehshua builds the first set of the good description up on a very
high pedestal in order to show that none of this matters if you are still going to let the false prophets and prophetesses
continue in your midst without exposing them.
We are to drive them out from our midst.
According to our Elohiym, we are to stone them.
But in a minute I will get to where Yehshua
says that He is coming to take care of this and not putting this burden upon us at this time because of where we are at in
time.
Howbeit, if they had been purged out from the beginning like we were commanded to, they
would not be here anyway.
He has led me to write to several of them to warn them to repent and
they have chosen not to.
For the most part, I do not even hear back from them because they have
no fear.
I would get as far away from them as you can and expose them as being false instead of
just letting them continue on unchecked.
This includes the false prophets like Weinland and the
false prophetesses like Elizabeth Sherrie and the one who calls himself Timothy and all of them who promote lies and call
themselves prophets.
And this also includes all who of those who do not call themselves prophets
but act in a prophet's office by defining Elohiym's word while playing the harlot to Him.
This
includes are all of the false shepherds in christianity and you need to flee from them.
But you
should warn them as well.
Send them the "woe to the pastors" video.
Tell them that YEHWEH has sent His servant and that they need to turn from their abominations and turn from their
harlotry or dying they will die.
Yehshua goes on;
23 And I will kill her children with death and all of the called out ones will know that I am He who searches
the reins and hearts AND I WILL GIVE UNTO EACH OF YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR WORKS.
24 Moreover I say to you that remain in Thyatira, all
who do not hold to her doctrine who have not known the manner of the depths that Satan speaks, I will cast upon you no other
burden.
25 Nevertheless,
that which you have, hold fast to until I come.
He is saying if you have the first
part of His description of Thyatira and you do not hold to the false doctrines and you do not listen to satan's speech, then
He will put no other burden on you.
What was the good part of His description that He said you
need to hold to?
19 I know your works, and love, and service, and
faith, and your continuance, and your works; and that the last is more than the first.
This group has love for His righteousness.
They have love for others and they serve one
another.
They have His works and they increase in them as they grow.
They
are fervent and passionate for Him and for His Father in truth, not worshipping false images of them.
They
have the same faith that Yehshua has.
They have the continuance of the saints.
He is saying in verse 24 and 25 that if you have these things and you do not have the false doctrines and you do
not listen to satan that you will do well if you hold fast to what you have.
He will come and
purge out the false prophets and false preachers and the false shepherds.
But as we read back
in verse 20 and 22 we had better not be giving them pardon or forgiveness in our hearts because He will have this against
us if we do.
And you had better flee from them and be found nowhere near their beds or turning
the other cheek to their abominations.
And if you are in the whore's abominations, come out of
her.
If you will cast away these false doctrines and come out of your fornication and stop listening
to satan's speech and do the good that He previously defined in verse 19, then you will do well and He will deliver you.
He goes on to re-enforce that He is not getting rid of our need to overcome when He said that He will cast no additional
burden on us;
26 And he that conquers and hedges about my works
to the end to him will I give authority over the nations:
27 And he will rule them with a rod of iron as the vessels of a potter are broken to shivers:
EVEN AS I RECEIVED FROM MY FATHER.
28 And I will give him the morning star.
29 He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the called
out ones.
The morning star is the resurrection into becoming a spirit being.
Those in the first fruits will rule here with Him on earth for a thousand years and evil will be purged out when
it rears its ugly head.
Things will be as they were supposed to be if man had obeyed their Elohiym
from the beginning.
And the result of what the world was supposed to be like will be manifested.
And those who have slept will be able to see this when they are resurrected at the end of the thousand years.
The millennium is going to be an incredible time to live if you will repent and lay siege to His offer to deliver
you into it.
I am going to cut this off here and do a part two starting with chapter 3 and the
called out ones of Sardis.
THE SEVEN CHURCHES,
PART II
Today I will continue with part two discussing the seven groups of called out
ones that Yehshua prophesied to the Apostle John about.
He continued on to admonish the called
out ones, but in two of these last three groups He had nothing good to say to them in His admonishment to them.
And, in a few minutes I'll show you where one group, the called out ones of Philadelphia, receive no other admonishment
from Him other than to hold fast to that which they have been given so that no man takes their
crown.
In what is referred to by many as the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew recorded
Yehshua saying;
Matt 5:48
48 YOU SHALL
THEREFORE BE "PERFECT" IN THE MANNER THAT OUR FATHER
THAT IS IN HEAVEN IS "PERFECT."
It doesn't sound like Yehshua is saying "just confess my name with your mouth and you will be saved" like
the blasphemous doctrines of christianity teach.
He taught repentance which is changing from our
ways and changing to our Elohiym's way.
His way is perfect righteousness and His Son taught that
we need to overcome that which is not in agreement with His righteousness.
He is perfect and we
are commanded to become perfect in the same manner that He is perfect.
This is why we are here
in the flesh.
We are here to conquer and to overcome and to become as He is.
Revelation 3
1 And to the angel of the called out ones
in Sardis write; these things says He that has YEHWEH's seven Spirits and the seven stars; I know your works, that you have
a name that you live AND YOU ARE (SPIRITUALLY) DEAD.
2 Be vigilant and turn resolutely to that which remains
which is about to die because I have not found your works filled up (made complete) before YEHWEH's face.
3 Therefore take remembrance of what you have received
and heard AND HOLD FAST TO IT AND REPENT. Wherefore if you do not become vigilant, I will
come upon you in the manner of a thief (in the night) AND YOU WILL NOT
KNOW AT WHAT HOUR I WILL COME UPON YOU.
For those of you who think
that no man will know the day or the hour of His return, you are willfully misinformed.
I am not
going to go into all of the details of this in this video.
You can go to "The Wise
Will Understand" video where you can find clear proof that Yehshua was not saying that no man would know at
the time of the end.
He clearly taught that meat would be given in due season to the faithful
and wise servant in the same verses that He said that He did not know the hour back then.
And
Isaiah recorded that one would be sent to proclaim the day and the year of YEHWEH's vengeance.
Plus
YEHWEH told Daniel that the time was sealed until the time of the end.
So for you to believe that
no man will know the day or the hour of His return is because you do not understand what Yehshua was saying.
And this shows that you are not wise like you think that you are.
You have to not believe
the scriptures in order to deny that they day and the year would be proclaimed.
Anyway, if you
want to hold onto your false doctrine that no man will know the day or the hour just so you do not have to repent, go right
ahead and do so.
Dying you will die.
I am telling you on YEHWEH's
authority that Yehshua will return on the 19th day of July on satan's calendar as the day begins to dawn in Jerusalem.
What you do with this information is up to you.
Will you hearken or will you forebear?
This day is the Feast of First Fruits and He will return to harvest His Father's first fruits.
And He will pour out the 7 vials of His Father's wrath on those of you who are still alive who have not repented.
In these verses concerning the called out ones in Sardis, He is saying that some are already completely shut off
and spiritually dead.
And He is also admonishing those of you who are called who are barely hanging
onto to the truths that you were given.
He is saying there are some of you who are barely hanging
on to the truth and that you are nearly dead and nearly shut off completely.
And He is saying
that you will be completely spiritually dead if you do not wake up from your slumbering and sleeping and become vigilant and
hold fast to the truth that you were given.
How do these verses fit into christianity's once saved
always saved false doctrine?
They do not.
We must conquer and overcome
and we must hunger and thirst for our Elohiym's righteousness and for His kingdom.
We must be
vigilant to become as He is.
All of this is part of the test and it is why we are here in the
flesh.
He continues;
4 But in Sardis
there holds a few names of which have not defiled their robes; and they will (future tense) walk
with me in white because they will be worthy.
He is prophesying that there are
a few of you who are almost dead who will repent when you pull your heads out of the sand.
A few
of you in this group will wake up and sell out for the truth that you were once given because you have not totally defiled
your robes.
You are not completely shut off from Him yet.
You are
slumbering but not all of the way dead.
And when you repent, you will walk with Him and He will
make your robes white with His blood.
5 He that conquers IN THIS MANNER WILL BE CLOTHED IN A WHITE ROBE and I will not blot out his name out of the book
of life, but I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.
6 He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the called
out ones.
Folks, this is so simple.
We have to conquer
and overcome, this is why we are here.
We are here to be tested and proved to be found worthy.
Our Messiah said so.
Pull your heads out of the sand and wake up and repent.
Time to do so is so, so short.
Today, in most of your time zones is the day that you
are to set aside the Passover lamb or goat for the backup Passover opportunity for those of you who missed the Passover last
month.
I only know of a few in number who obeyed the first opportunity and I only know of a few
who are laying siege to the backup opportunity or trying to.
Almost none of you will obey Him
or even try to obey Him.
This has been an incredible thing to witness.
3
1/2 days after the corresponding time that the animal is to be killed in 4 days is the anniversary of the Ark's door being
shut.
This is only 7 ½ days from when I am speaking this.
At
this time I will be burning a third of the hair that our Creator had me shave off per His Ezekiel 5 instructions.
This was an incredible warning that was sent to you that was prophesied to happen thousands of years ago,
Is there no fear in your hearts of what is coming?
Do you think that Yehshua's admonitions
to the called out ones do not apply to you?
Do you think that everything that He taught about
obeying His Father's word is not true?
7 And to the angel of the
called out ones in Philadelphia write; these things says He that is holy, He that is true, He that has the key of David, He
that opens and no man shuts and shuts and no man opens;
8 I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door and no man can shut it; because
you have a little strength AND HAVE HELD FAST TO MY WORD AND HAVE NOT DENIED MY NAME.
This is those who have persisted in His Father's word and have overcome.
They have been
worn thin by the ways of the world and they are exhausted by it and they long so much for that which opposes YEHWEH's righteousness
to be purged out so that His will will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
How small of a group
is this?
So few have not denied His name when you understand what His name is.
His name is His Father's word which declares His righteousness.
There have been so few
who have held fast to His word.
Do you think that this group is talking about you if you have
not obeyed His word?
If you do, you are delusional.
Is the image of
our Messiah that you say that you love the image of His Father's word?
If not, you believe into
and love a make believe image of Him.
The 144,000 came out from these groups of called out ones.
They conquered and overcame and endured to the end of their lives.
Many, many have been
in these groups without conquering and overcoming until they lost out on their chance to be a part of what He offered them.
And there are many whom He is calling to return to Him now who will lose out because they will not repent and hearken
to Him.
144,000 in nearly 6,000 years is a very, very small flock.
Of
the called out ones of Philadelphia, His only admonishment to them is to continue to endure to the end.
This is because they were sold out for the kingdom and for YEHWEH's righteousness.
The
144,000 endured in the truth in spite of all of the world's swill and through all of the mocking and revilement.
Some of you who are coming to His call now are experiencing this reviling from your friends and family as well.
Yehshua said;
Matt 5:10-12
10 Blessed
are those who are persecuted because of righteousness because the kingdom of heaven will be theirs.
11 Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you
and speak all manner of evil against you falsely because of me.
12 Be happy and rejoice because your reward in heaven will be abundant: because they persecuted
the prophets who were before you as well.
Those in the false religions of christianity
despise our Elohiym's righteousness in their rebellious hearts.
They say they do not but this
is easy to prove differently.
They are liars and hypocrites.
It is
amazing how simply desiring to obey our Creator could cause anyone to be reviled by others, yet it is a reality.
And it has been this way since the beginning.
This is what happened with Cain and Abel.
Cain could not handle that Abel offered up to Elohiym that which was pleasing to Him so he was angry with him and
he killed him.
The world does not desire our Elohiym's true image therefore that which opposes
their false images of Him that they have in their hearts ruffles them up.
It is not that they
hate those who seek to obey Him; it is that they hate our Elohiym's instructions because they do not desire and they hate
His righteousness that His instructions teach.
And if you are seeking to bear His name you can
expect to be reviled, at least for another 78 days.
After this, the whole earth will be full of
the knowledge of His righteousness and if they do not want it, they will be purged out.
Here is
what Yehshua goes on to say about the called out ones in Philadelphia;
9 Behold,
I will give to them from satan's assembly (christianity& judaism) that say that they are
Jews (they say they are Elohiym's chosen) and are not, but do lie; BEHOLD, I
WILL MAKE THEM TO COME AND WORSHIP BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF YOUR FEET AND TO KNOW THAT I HAVE LOVED YOU.
10 Because you have guarded (held fast to) the word of
my continuance, I also will guard (hold fast to) you from the hour of temptation WHICH WILL COME
UPON ALL OF THE WORLD TO TRY THEM THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH.
In this
verse He is giving another prophecy for the here and the now.
The hour of temptation is about
upon us.
It starts at the end of the 17th day of the 2nd month which lands
on May 10th on satan's calendar at the corresponding time that the Ark door was shut.
Not
only does this promise in verse 10 apply to the remainder of the 144,000 who are still alive in the flesh at this time, it
can apply to each of you who will flee from the lies and embrace that which the first fruits embraced.
Hold fast to His word and conquer and overcome and your reward will be abundant.
If you
do, our Elohiym will deliver you through this time of temptation.
He will deliver you into the
millennium where satan and his crew will be bound.
Yehshua goes on;
11
I will come suddenly: hold fast to that which you have so that no man
takes your crown.
12
I will make him that conquers a pillar in the temple of my Elohiym and he will no longer go away (because
they will then be spirit beings): and I will write upon him the name of my Elohiym, and the name of the city of my
Elohiym which is the new Jerusalem which comes down out of heaven from my Elohiym and I will write upon him my new name.
13 He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says
to the called out ones.
I keep saying how this is going to be an incredible period
of time to live in for those of you who are delivered through the coming affliction.
You won't
be part of the first fruits but you can still be part of the latter harvest into His family and this is all that matters.
It is not a matter of when you get there but rather a matter of getting there.
His temple
will rule here and satan and his crew will be bound.
Can you imagine raising a family in such
conditions?
It is going to be awesome.
The earth will be healed and
people will love one another in the manner that we are commanded to and evil will be purged out if and when it surfaces.
It will be as it was supposed to be if man had obeyed their Elohiym from the beginning.
The
last group is the final admonition that Yehshua gives to the called out ones.
In this group He
does not precede His admonishment with complimenting any good either like He also did not do with Sardis.
14 And to the angel of the called out ones of the Laodiceans write; these things says
the truly faithful and true witness, the first of YEHWEH's creation;
15 I know because of your works THAT YOU ARE NEITHER COLD NOR HOT;
oh that you were either cold or hot.
16
So since you are lukewarm and because you are neither cold nor hot, YOU ARE VOMITED OUT OF
MY MOUTH.
He is saying that if your works were simply cold then your
judgment would be quick.
But because you play the harlot to YEHWEH pretending to serve and worship
Him in your own brand of righteousness, you are like vomit to Him.
You claim that you are covered
by Yehshua's blood yet you still trample it underfoot.
YEHWEH called you but you would not hearken
to His call, at least not in full and you remained in the swill or you went back to it.
You picked
and chose what you would obey and what you would not obey.
You took some of what He gave to you
and then you went off to continue to listen to the enemy and this whoredom to our Elohiym.
Yehshua
went on;
17 Because you say, I am rich (I
have the truth), and I have been made rich (I have the truth given to me), and I have
need of no one else; and you do not know that you are wretched (tried, tested and weighed) and
miserable (lacking brokenness for your abominations) and poor (not rich
in the truth like you think that you are) and blind (not having the eyes to see like you think
that you do) and naked (not covered by Elohiym's covering of righteousness)
The word that they translated as wretched comes from two words; one that means tested as in tried and another word
that means weighed by the balances.
All will be weighed or judged by YEHWEH's word in the last
days.
The two witnesses have both testified to this.
Those of you
in this group were given some truth because He called you but then you became lifted up by the truth that He let you see.
And you did not become broken and humble before His face to desire His righteousness.
You
rose up before Him in what He let you see and because of this He vomited you out of His mouth and shut you off from His 7
spirits and now you are blind.
And you are naked even though in your pride-filled hearts you think
He has you covered and you think that you can see.
Here is YEHWEH's offer to you that He sent
His Son with;
18 I counsel (advise) you to buy from me GOLD
REFINED IN THE FIRE, so that you will be made rich (given His Father's 7 spirits); AND
WHITE ROBES, so that you will be clothed (and no longer naked), and so that "THE SHAME OF YOUR NAKEDNESS" is not revealed; AND ANOINT
YOUR EYES WITH EYE SALVE so that you may see.
The gold is the oil which
is YEHWEH's seven spirits.
The eyes salve is His 7th spirit which is the spirit of
fear of YEHWEH.
It is the oil that causes you to fear to go against Him and to fear to not be
found in His favor and to fear losing out on being in His family.
He has to give this just like
the rest of them but we have to hunger and thirst for it in order for Him to give it to us.
We
have to come before Him and desire His righteousness and desire to be in His kingdom and agree to obey Him in order to be
taught by Him.
We have to agree to let Him be our teacher and agree to no longer eat from the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil and no longer eat of the bread of men.
This means that
we have to agree to no longer listen to satan's servants who can snare us into not obeying our Elohiym.
The fruit that we bear when we eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil is rebellion to our Elohiym's word.
And He puts His word in His servant's the prophet's mouths.
Rebellion
to His word starts with giving our ear to another source other than our Elohiym's word for direction.
This
is what Adam and Eve chose to do and they were shut off from the tree of life.
They were shut
off from YEHWEH's instruction.
And we are as well when we choose to not hearken to His instructions.
He is looking for those who will seek Him and hearken to Him and desire to become as He is.
Yehshua
goes on;
Rev 3:19
19 As many as I have
affection for I admonish and discipline: be zealous therefore and repent (turn from your ways)
He is about ready to send a time of incredible chastisement through His Son in order to humble a people to return
to Him.
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hears
my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him and him with me.
21 I will give to him that conquers to sit with me in
my throne, IN THE MANNER THAT I ALSO CONQUERED AND AM SITTING WITH MY FATHER IN HIS THRONE.
22 He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says
TO THE CALLED OUT ONES.
What do you need to
do?
You need to conquer in the manner that our Messiah conquered.
You
need to turn from your ways and turn to what our Creator is restoring.
His word says that He was
to send one person to restore all things so that there would be no confusion and people would not be able to say;
"Well, that is what you say is true, here is what I think...or here is what this other person says..."
His word gives us an irrefutable resume for us to use to identify this servant when he was sent.
He had his prophets testify to a description of this servant all the way from his birth name Michael to the white
linen clothing he would be clothed with.
His servants the prophets testified to the work that
this servant would be sent with.
And YEHWEH gave us a promise that He would send a sign and that
when He sent this sign, we can know that it is from Him.
He said that He would put His word in
this servant's mouth when He sent him.
None of you have an excuse for not hearkening to what He
has bid you to do through this servant.
None of you have an excuse for not offering up to Him
the offering in righteousness that He has called for you to lift up to Him.
None of you have an
excuse for not crying out to warn others.
None of you have an excuse for not turning to obeying
every word that He gave us to live by.
None of you have an excuse for not returning to and hearkening
to His Torah with the statutes and judgments.
None of you have an excuse for not hearkening to
His Ezekiel 24 sign including covering your heads as you were told to do.
Here is what Isaiah
recorded for the seven groups of called out ones to do in the last days;
Isa 4:1
4:1 In that day "THE SEVEN WOMEN" WILL LAY HOLD OF one man who will say; eat bread and clothe yourselves with His garment (of righteousness)
and be you only called by His name in order to take away your reproach.
It is
fascinating that almost none of you have laid hold of what this one man who was sent to you has spoken.
And this will be a witness against you.
All I have told you to do anyway is to obey YEHWEH
Elohiym who created us and to do so in order to become as He is.
It is incredible how this cry
has not gone out and how it has even been mocked and reviled by many.
Yehshua is still standing
at the door.
But it will soon fly open and instead of coming to dine with you, He is will come
with His Father's word coming out of His mouth to judge those of you who have rebelled against His Father's word.
And a double portion of His wrath will be poured out on those of you who were called but chose to not conquer and
overcome.
