SEVENTH YEAR SABBATH QUESTIONS, PT I PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK Today, I am going to begin to discuss some of the questions that you might have regarding the observance of the commanded 7th year Sabbath. As I said yesterday, I am sure that the scoffers will be many, just as they scoff at nearly all of our Creator’s instructions. First, we need to consider just how broken and removed from His ways that the world is. This will help us to understand some of the answers, as well as why He is going to put an end to things the way that they are. If we examine why it is called a “Sabbath” year, then the answers will make since. It is a year of rest, resting from our labors and it is a reward. Since I have come to understand the purpose of the weekly Sabbaths, I hunger for them, as I am sure that all of you do who are coming to His call. The weekly Sabbaths are like living from paycheck to paycheck. As soon as one is over with, we live the week hungering for the next one. Why? Because they are a reward and they point us to His ultimate reward. The same is true with our Creator’s design for His annual Sabbaths and New Moons, and how much more so a yearly Sabbath. With His rest includes His provision. Can you imagine a nation of people who live off of His provision and simply trust Him for everything and obey Him? They would live as one family, loving one another and loving Him and being thankful to one another and to Him. No greed, no selfishness, no adultery, children learning to walk in the truth. It would be all about and centered on family, our physical families, our community family and helping one another get into our permanent family, HIS family. There would be no house payments or rent payments, no electric bills, no food shortages, no need to worry about anything except losing out on this utopia. OF COURSE, THIS IS THE ONE THING THAT MAN HAS LEFT OUT. THEY HAVE NEGLECTED TO FEAR LOSING OUT ON HIS PROMISES, AND THEREFORE THEY DO NOT HAVE THEM. But now, unfortunately, we live in this broken world, so how do we obey Him and observe a 7th year Sabbath? What is involved? After all, we do have, for an example, to make our house payments and we certainly do not have six years to save up to prepare for it. I said yesterday that I do not have all of the answers but in asking Him for them, He is bringing me front and center with how far removed the world is from His truth. There are communities that have applied some of His principles to community families like the Amish in America, but do they love His truth and fashion their life entirely around it? No, they have formed their own religions around bits and pieces of the truth just as everyone else has. The 7th year Sabbath is a perpetual commandment that He gave us so that we can know that we belong to Him and know that He is our source. If we were obeying this commandment and we lost sight of His truth and we were not walking in agreement with Him, it would be obvious because His provision would not be there. If this were to happen, there are only two possible choices. One, cry out to Him in repentance and change to be back in agreement with Him so that His blessings resume or two, reject Him and go off to provide for ourselves. The second is what has happened. How hard is it to believe that He wants to protect us and provide for us? The religious people of Christianity or Judaism or Islam would say we do believe Him, we do pray to Him and He hears us. He does provide for us. Well, Yehshua reminds us; Matt 5:45 45 That you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. Scripture also talks about the prosperity of the wicked. Likewise, it is important to understand that He has spiritual principles in place that just work. An honest business man has blessings given to his business in spite of not keeping the commandments. A husband and wife who are faithful in their marriage have blessings of a stable life and such. Obeying our Creator works on different levels, but that does not mean that He is choosing you to be in His family. He has these spiritual principles set in place to help call us to Him and to see that His goodness has benefits. By design, He wants a successful businessman, who has a stable household and such to hunger for more truth. But is this what happens, or does he simply join his local church and live lies? Obviously, with only 144,000 chosen out of the billions who have lived, odds are that he chose to love his life and not lose it. I don’t know how many people have ever lived. We are told that there are close to 7 billion in the world today, so I think it is safe to assume that maybe there have been at least 10 billion who have lived. 144,000 divided into 10 billion is not even measurable with the calculator that I use. I had to go to the computer to figure it out because I did not want to stretch my brain. It is 0.0000144 0r .00144 percent. That is not very many who have truly trusted their Elohiym and yielded to Him for sure. When Yehshua said that few be that find it, I guess He meant what He said. As I reflect on this, it really is very sad, but He had to give us free will and a choice to accomplish His purpose. He wants to give us all things and nurture us, fashion us in His image and has man believed Him? Do you believe His promises? If you say that you do trust Him and yet you cannot even trust Him to provide for you for a year, I say to you that you either have not taken the time to examine His promises or you lie to yourself. This is not a matter of putting Him to the test, but a matter of believing His instructions and believing His rewards. Yehshua tells us; Matt 6:19-22 19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust can destroy them and where thieves can break in and steal them: 20 Instead, lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust can destroy and where thieves cannot break in and steal: 21 Because where your treasure is where your heart is. 22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye is single, your whole body shall be full of light. He is saying that all we need to do is keep our eye single. Do you think that Abraham’s eye was single? How about David’s or the rest of the saints? Yes, at different times they took their eyes off of the ball and they had consequences to bring them back to being focused. But they returned their eyes back to their Creator, repented and changed direction. They were remorseful and broken over their transgressions and they hungered for His provision. They did not try and justify their disobedience and continue in their own paths. It seems that I quote these following words of Yehshua often and hopefully you do not get tired of hearing them in these documents; Matt 6:28-7:1 28 And why do you worry about your clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Therefore, if Elohiym so clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is burnt up, shall he not much more clothe you, you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not worry, saying, what shall we eat? Or, what shall we drink? Or, what shall we be clothed with? 32 Indeed, all others desire after these things and your heavenly Father is aware that you have need of such. 33 BUT SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF ELOHIYM AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow because tomorrow shall worry itself. THE SATISFACTION OF THE DAY IS HER EVIL. Yehshua is saying that our eye needs to be single, focused on the Kingdom of Elohiym and His righteousness in front of everything else. He says that if we do, our Father knows what we need and He will make sure that we have it. Do you believe Him? Your actions are going to have to prove it. This is what faith or believing Him is. The seventh year Sabbath is commanded and it is designed to help keep our faith real. We must depend on Him and walk in agreement with Him. In doing so, we are listening to Him, therefore doing our part to receive His blessings. All of His ways lead us into pure relationships with Him and with one another. Yehshua goes on a few verses later; Matt 7:9-11 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son asks for bread would deny him and give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish would deny him and give him a snake? 11 If you then, being bad, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them who ask Him? I use these same verses to talk about all things, healing, protection, and everything that He has promised. Does He want us to be His children or not? But now we are entering into the Sabbath year with little advance warning or preparation time. Should that matter? Is His hand shortened that He cannot provide for us? After all, He is the one drawing it up this way. He is the one trying your reins to see what is in your heart, if you really truly trust Him; Jer 17:10-17 10 I YEHWEH examine the heart, I test the mind to give man according to the fruit of his endeavors. 11 As the partridge sits on eggs and hatches them not; so is he that accomplishes wealth without “mishpat” (referring to righteous judgment), his wealth will leave him in the midst of his days AND AT HIS END HE WILL BE A FOOL. 12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of your sanctuary. Remember that Yehshua told the religious of the day that they had omitted the weightier matters of the law which included judgment that leads to damnation. He also included that they had omitted faith which includes believing the promises and mercy. The mercy that he is referring to is that which cries for all of the abominations done in the world. 13 YEHWEH, the hope of Israel, all that forsake you shall be ashamed and they that turn from you shall be written in the earth because they have forsaken YEHWEH, the fountain of living waters. 14 Heal me, YEHWEH, Heal me; save me, save me and I will praise you. Do you think that you have not forsaken Him if you have not hearkened to His instructions? This is going to be a test. Will you be able to admit that you have denied His protection; therefore you remained in captivity and deceived and worshipped Him in vain? If you can see it, this means that your pride is not getting in the way and you will need to cry out to Him to be healed and He will heal you if you truly want to turn back to His ways, the ways of old, His path that has been lost. If you think that Yehshua did away with those paths, you are calling Him and His father a liar. If you have rejected His judgments and cannot humble yourself to admit that you have not believed Him, prepare to be humbled. 15 Behold, they say to me, where is the word or the way of YEHWEH? I pray it comes. Will you cry out for His word, His truth or His way to be restored, or will you continue to hold onto the lies? Whatever is false is getting ready to be purged out. Man’s time of self-rule is just about up. Today, people have their confidence in lies and reject their Creator. His ways teach us to love and teach us to want to be a part of an eternal family. I discussed in the past that those who do not have the mark of the beast will not be able to buy or sell this coming year because of it being a 7th year Sabbath of rest. Is the buying and selling referred to in Revelations just symbolism for not having income from work, since it is a year of rest from our work? Or is John’s revelation of Yehshua referring to all buying and selling? I mentioned that it is a broken world that we live in, so we do have mortgages, rent payments and such. How would we live? Is money going to be worth anything anyway? It would appear so by default, at least for a short period of time because the other group would be buying and selling. Or maybe this just means that they would be if they could. Maybe money will reach a point early on where it will be worthless anyway? This I can assure you will happen, but how far into it will it happen, I do not know. At the end they will be casting their gold into the streets. As this is unfolding, He wants us to examine our hearts and minds, to see if we truly trust Him and believe Him. He knows what is in our hearts and minds anyway, but He is giving us a chance to repent and choose Him. We will also need to turn to helping one another as a family should and learn what the mercy that we have omitted really is. I do not know yet if the instructions include not being able to spend money that we already have on goods or if we will even be able to anyway or for how long. This is why we must know who our source is and be close to Him and in agreement with Him so that we know that it is all covered anyway. If you think you are going to be raptured away before the destruction happens, is this what scripture teaches? Noah had to prepare and build a boat, which took time. After he and his family were on the boat, it still took a while and even after it stopped raining and flooding, look how long it was before he could get out of the boat. It was over a yearlong event. Lot had to choose to leave all and take his family out. His wife is another good example (actually a bad example). Don’t look back; just leave them, if they do not want to come with you. Don’t murmur either; it is all passing away anyway. The children of Israel did not get to go into the Promised Land because they did not trust YEHWEH to deliver them. Yehshua says pray that your flight not be on a Sabbath, we are only 44 days from the yearly Sabbath. In other words, there is no time for fence setting. I do not know of a particular place of safety but I do think it is time to get out of North America and the nations that came out of the British Commonwealth. It is a Sabbath year, but there are some obvious things that make it clear that some of the instructions are different, at least in part, to the weekly Sabbaths, such as laundry and cleaning, etc. We are certainly in an interesting point in time for this to be restored and this is just one of the many things that are being restored as He prepares a people for the return of His Son. We must embrace it all and return to the paths of old and live His ways like receiving a paycheck. The really cool thing is it is like enjoying in a continuous paycheck that we don’t have to wait each week for because He never will be slack. He wants to give us every good thing if we fight to be chosen by Him and in agreement with Him. I will continue to discuss these things as far as buying and selling with financial reserves that we already have as more understanding is given. 7th YEAR SABBATH QUESTIONS, PT II A PARADIGM SHIFT Today I want to continue to examine the instructions for being obedient to our Creator in regards to keeping His 7th year Sabbath. I said yesterday that it is all about family, but not simply all about our own personal family but rather also about a community family and becoming part of a permanent family, the family that our Creator is building. Let’s take a look at an example of what appears to be a healthy family on a temporal plain. The husband has a great job. He works 40 hours a week and has his lunch breaks with his wife and some days they even go to the school to join their children on their break. I will call this family, family A. They spend their weekends and evenings together enjoying movies and sports and playing board games and such. They have plenty of vacation time and travel and experience life together. They even pray together, attend church together and genuinely delight in one another. But there is one thing missing, the parents reject the truth and therefore their beliefs are not true. Consequently, they are leading their children away from eternal life and the permanent family. In other words, this perfect American dream family is committing eternal suicide and killing their children’s eternity as well. What would happen if this family had a paradigm shift and looked at their life from an eternal standpoint instead of a temporal pleasure standpoint? I will call this converted family, family B. This husband would spend his time away from his work learning his Creator’s way of life seeking to become his child and teaching this way of life to his wife and his children. His wife would also be drawing close to her Creator with the same goal and teaching her children to do the same. They would protect their children from the evils of the day and teach them that their Creator is their source for everything. But wait a minute you say, family A is teaching their children about god and such, they pray all of the time and read the bible together every night. I ask you, will this make everything work out if what they believe is true is a lie? What if satan has deceived the world as the book of Revelations says he would? What if Paul’s writings did lead them away from obeying the word of their Creator? If so, are they any different than a Muslim wallowing in his/her false beliefs or a Hindu or any false religion? Family A could be a devout Muslim family or a devout Mormon family or any religion. Show me where the devout Family B is who is learning to live by every word of their Elohiym and living it. I use this story to bring up the importance of having a paradigm shift. The shift begins with looking at all things from the viewpoint that everything is really about becoming part of His family. Nothing else matters and everything else will automatically fit together. I watch very little news but recently I started watching a little bit of Glenn Beck because he is reporting what is going on in the world and not hiding the reality of what is happening. At the end of yesterday’s program he showed a couple of pictures of his children from the day before. I had to hold back the tears in listening to him because I felt his sensitivity about what he sees happening to the world because he wonders what it will be like for his children. As much as he sees what is happening, he himself is still guilty of the reason that the world is going to go through the coming chaos just as you and I are. We have rejected our Creator. Glenn made reference to spending 3 hours over the weekend with Billy Graham and tomorrow he said that he will talk about that. Billy Graham is responsible for leading billions to the slaughter by teaching a watered down religion and is responsible for giving billions a false hope. He also made a reference to speaking about the two most important things this coming Friday, faith and family. I could not agree with him more, the problem is he does not know that his faith is in a lie and he is killing his family just like nearly everyone else in the world is. True faith believes Elohiym, everything else is false. True love of our family is leading them to become part of Elohiym’s family, everything else leads to death. Notice that I did not say that true faith believes IN Elohiym, everyone believes in Him, even satan believes in him. I am told that even a self-proclaiming atheist believes in him in their inward parts of their mind according to a polygraph test. Believing Him means believing His promises. If we truly believe Him, our actions will prove it. There are lots of promises made to us for obeying His instructions. True scripture is full of statements by our Elohiym, “IF YOU WILL…. THEN I WILL…..” The 7th year Sabbath is a commandment just as all of His instructions are. Yesterday I discussed part of His reason for giving us this commandment which is to help keep us believing His promises and keeping us dependent on being in agreement with His word. Family A is killing their children and that is not true love. Their love for their family is only on a physical plain. Today I want to examine what is meant by buying and selling in the book of Revelations through the eyes of the paradigm shift that we must all make. First, let’s begin by looking at the instructions for the seventh year Sabbath; Ex 23:10-12 10 And six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in the fruits thereof: 11 But the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie still; that the poor of your people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner you shall deal with your vineyard, and with your olive garden. The next verse Moses tells to keep the weekly Sabbath and the following verse tells us not to even make mention of the false gods of the people around us in our conversations with one another. We are told to be circumspect of all that He has instructed and live His truth and be His people and He will be our Elohiym. It is thought by most that this 7th year is only referring to letting the physical land rest. Is this true? What would that teach us? No, they were an agrarian society so everyone’s life revolved around their produce from their harvests. Even all three of His Feasts that we are commanded to observe each year revolve around the three harvests. Should we not obey them either because we are not farmers? That is crazy to propose such a notion. In verse 12 Moses is tying in the seventh day Sabbath with the seventh year Sabbath. Verse 14 ties in the three feasts as well. They are all part of His plan to build a family and they are for all of us. Should only the agrarian person observe the weekly Sabbath or the Feasts? Of course not. So six years we are to work and the seventh year is a year of rest from our work. He tells us that He will bless us extra in the sixth year to carry us through; Lev 25:1-6 25:1 And YEHWEH spoke unto Moses in Mount Sinai, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel and say unto them, when you come into the land which I give you, the land shall set aside a Sabbath of YEHWEH. The Sabbaths are His rest that He is giving to us, He says so plainly here. The rest is His reward pointing us to a greater reward. Is He giving the land itself the reward? No, it is going to be burnt up; EVERYTHING IS ABOUT HIM BUILDING A FAMILY. 3 Six years you shall sow the field, and six years you shall prune the vineyard and receive the fruit thereof; All of Israel is to work for six years and then be rewarded with a Sabbath rest. For six years we receive the fruits of our labor which, in today’s society is our money. 4 The seventh year shall come a Sabbath (OF REST) to the land, a Sabbath of YEHWEH: you (THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL) shall neither sow your fields, nor prune your vineyards. I highlighted “of rest” because it is the Hebrew word SABBATHROWN which means special holiday. It is only used 11 times in scripture. The different Hebrew words translated into the English word rest is a study in and of itself. If you do not want to be the children of Israel, that is your choice. I did a video last week showing who the children of Israel are. If you are, then you are YEHWEH’s heritage, His people. If you reject this commandment or the others, you are simply choosing to not be His heritage. 5 That which grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed: a year of SABBATHROWN shall be to the land. 6 The Sabbath of the land shall be food for you, your servant, your maid-servant, your hired servant, and for the stranger that sojourns with you. It is interesting that even the stranger passing through is to abide in this Sabbath. How could it be referring to the land being set aside only? What are we to eat? The next verse tells us; Lev 25:7 7 The live animals (of course the clean animals) in the land shall be all the produce to eat. Most translations have verse six saying that the things that grow naturally in the land are to be our food but looking these verses up, it is not saying this. I will add however, the instruction in verse 5 to not eat anything that grows of itself is referring specifically to things growing in the fields that we would normally harvest from or in our case today, receive our wages from. The instruction for eating of the produce in the year of Jubilee is slightly different but that is not the subject matter of this segment. When verse six says that the Sabbath shall be food to us, it means it. He wants us to know that He is giving us His blessings of the abundant store house ahead of time; all we need to do is enjoy the Sabbath SABBATHROWN that He is rewarding and let Him be our food. Lev 25:18-23 18 Therefore you shall do my statutes and keep my judgments and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety. 19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety. 20 And if you shall ask, what shall we eat the seventh year? Because we cannot sow nor gather in our increase: Are you paying attention? He is giving us the answer. 21 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. 22 And you shall sow the eighth year and eat yet of OLD FRUIT until the ninth year until her fruits come in you shall eat OF THE OLD STORE. (so in addition to the live animals, He has everything else covered as well) 23 The land shall not be sold forever: for the land is mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with me. Awesome! He is just letting us abide here on His land anyway, it all belongs to Him. What are we to be doing with the time of our sojourning here? Letting Him teach us and bless us and make us in His image so that we can become His children permanently. What an offer! You don’t think He is saying that? Hide and watch! If you do not believe that we need to live by every word that He gave us, you are going to find out that you are part of a very large flock who has not hearkened to His invitation. My hope is that you will repent and embrace His will to be your master potter. It is a Sabbath year so I want to review some Sabbath instructions; Isa 58:12-14 12 And they that shall be of you shall build the old waste places: you shall rise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, THE REPAIRER OF THE BREACH, THE RESTORER OF PATHS TO DWELL IN. Isaiah is talking about right now. He goes onto to discuss the paradigm shift which is an attitude that the 144,000 possessed in regards to the Sabbath day and all of His Sabbaths; 13 If you return your path to the Sabbath, making my sanctified day your desire; and proclaim the Sabbath a delight, the holy of YEHWEH, honorable and important, making course to come forth with desire, speaking His word: 14 Then you shall delight in YEHWEH; and He will carry you to the high places of the earth and feed you the inheritance of the Patriarch Jacob: because the mouth of YEHWEH has spoken it. WOW, the promises are awesome indeed! It is totally about a paradigm shift and delighting in His provision. His Sabbaths are part of His provision. Is there any warning to a group of people who do not possess this paradigm shift? Yes, but it looks like i will not get finished within the 15 minutes allowed for these videos so this will be a good place to break and I will continue with a part 3. 7TH YEAR SABBATH QUESTIONS, PT III “AN ATTITUDE OF BEING” Yesterday I was discussing a paradigm shift that the 144,000 first fruits of the Kingdom of Elohiym embraced that got them chosen into His family. I finished with a verse in Isaiah discussing the repairing of the breach between Elohiym and man and the restoration of truth that is unfolding. Isaiah was discussing returning to the Sabbaths and delighting in them. The 7th year Sabbath is YEHWEH’S Sabbath, just as the weekly and annual Sabbaths are. They are not a burden but rather a way of life that we must embrace in order to be fed by Him. They are His gift. I said yesterday that I would discuss a scripture that discusses a different attitude towards the Sabbaths; Amos 8:3-9 3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, says YEHWEH Elohiym: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence. 4 Hear this, you that devour the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail, 5 saying, WHEN WILL THE NEW MOON BE GONE, THAT WE MAY BARTER CORN? AND THE SABBATH, THAT WE MAY SET FORTH WHEAT, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? Amos is talking about an attitude of being here and he is using people having a murmuring attitude as an example. This attitude is one of not delighting in the Sabbath or the New Moons because they wanted them to be over with so that they could continue with their business and their lives. He is also exposing their greed because their desire to return to the world from the Sabbaths is because they want to resume their accumulation of wealth. The Sabbath is not their desire or their wealth, they have it all backwards, and their treasure is elsewhere. To want to be in Elohiym’s family means that we have an attitude of being that wants His ways and hungers to be fed by Him. He goes on in verse 6 explaining further why they wanted the Sabbaths and New Moons over with; 6 That we may purchase the poor and the needy with silver because they need a pair of shoes or barter for a morsel of the wheat? He is exposing how their greed is at the expense of others, taking advantage of the poor and the needy. If they had delighted in the ways of their Creator, they would have understood that it is about helping one another and providing for the poor and the needy. He goes on to speak of their soon coming punishment; 7 YEHWEH has sworn by the Excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. 8 Shall not the land tremble for this and every one mourn that dwells therein? And it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. Read on, it does not sound good. There are some starch warnings for the last days for those who do not make this paradigm shift a way of life and hold on to a personal self-serving attitude of being. This passage is also showing that bartering goods was not a part of the Sabbaths and the New Moons. Does this apply to buying food for consumption on a Sabbath? We know that Yehshua’s disciples picked grain to eat on the Sabbath. They certainly were not harvesting on the Sabbath, but merely picking some grain to eat. Matt 12:1-2 12:1 At that time Yehshua went on the Sabbath day through the corn; and His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. 2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, your disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the Sabbath day. The Pharisees were part right, they knew that it was not lawful to harvest grain on the Sabbath but perverted this by adding to it. They added to the law in so many ways making it a burden instead of a delight. How might this be significant to the 7th year Sabbath that we are approaching? Will this tie in to the coming Sabbath? We certainly live in different times so we must hunger to be sure. John records that those who have the mark of the beast in the last days will be able to buy and sell or at least they would be able to if they could. Therefore those who do not have this mark would not be able to buy or sell. What would keep this group from being able to buy or sell? Well, it would have to be a choice. They would have to want to be obedient to their Creator and sincere about wanting to be obedient to Him. As I said the other day, it might not be long into the coming destruction before nobody will be able to buy and sell anyway, however the question remains, is our Creator literally talking about not purchasing anything or is he using symbolism pointing to no trading of our labors by doing business and such because this group would not be working and receiving new income? We must convert the instructions for the 7th year Sabbath to our own time that we live in to examine this and as with all things, not relying on our own understanding and fear to be wrong. In Israel of old, we established from Amos that the markets were not open to trade on the Sabbath day. The question is, were the markets open on the 7th year Sabbath? Why would they have been? There would have been no produce being grown except the livestock. And people would have certainly been sharing their abundance from their store house as commanded to with those who had need. And the end of this 7th year was a release of debt anyway. I can tell there will not be any bartering in the Kingdom of Elohiym and this is what this temporal existence is supposed to prepare us for anyway if we are yielding to His design. In examining this topic, we must examine our thoughts and bring them into subjection to His will. Are we murmuring in our minds with thoughts like, oh no, if we cannot buy and sell, how will we eat? We must be careful to not be found not trusting in His provision no matter what the case is. There are lots of scenarios that we must examine our hearts with. If money continues to have value, and if you have money or supplies in your storehouse, will you eagerly share your resources with those people who have need with joy? The children of Israel were blessed if they were obedient and given plenty of produce in the 6th year to store up for three years. This translates today into money and if money is your store house, and you have chosen to stay where you are instead of fleeing, I WOULD BE TRADING IT IN FOR SUPPLIES AND I WOULD BE DOING SO QUICKLY BECAUSE THE SEAMS ARE BULGING. But what happens if money continues to have value for a period of time and you still have reserves or if you have a supply of it coming in from another source that is not from your work such as retirement from previous years of your work? Well, first and foremost it is the attitude of your being that matters most. Is your comfortable life of this era of time what you want? Or do you want the destruction to begin so that a people can be humbled and brought to a point of repentance so they can enter into a contract with their Creator and begin a process of being healed and coming into agreement with His ways? Do you want that which opposes Him purged out or do you like the world that we live in and happy for things the way they have been? I do not know at this time if it would be a violation to purchase food during this 7th year Sabbath with these types of resources so I just want to make sure my attitude is one of trusting Him either way. If it turns out to be His design to allow this, He will make it clear. One thing is certain, I would not want to be found acquiring new money or produce from your labors and rejecting His provision because it is clear to me that disobedience to His blueprint is the mark of the beast that the world has and will be judged by. We are told by Yehshua that all will be judged by the word of Elohiym and His Sabbaths are part of His word. His provision will come from somewhere; He will make sure of that if you believe Him and you trust Him and your way of life proves that you do. If not, at least you die believing His promises and not die living a lie. Just remember the faith of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego or how the raven fed Elijah. In part one, I read Yehshua’s instructions regarding how we are to live; Matt 6:28-7:1 28 And why do you worry about your clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Therefore, if Elohiym so clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is burnt up, shall he not much more clothe you, you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not worry, saying, what shall we eat? Or, what shall we drink? Or, what shall we be clothed with? 32 Indeed, all others desire after these things and your heavenly Father is aware that you have need of such. 33 BUT SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF ELOHIYM AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow because tomorrow shall worry itself. THE SATISFACTION OF THE DAY IS HER EVIL. Do you believe Him or not? Does anything really matter on a physical plain anyway? Is it not all His? All He wants us to do is seek His Kingdom which is accomplished by seeking His righteousness, letting Him take care of everything else. Does it matter where we live or what we have? I can tell you no. I left it all and it is a joy to simply delight in Him and delight in His provision. I know that my course is to die standing for His truth. So what, I will be resurrected into His family. What is there to worry about if you believe Him and trust Him? What can any man do to you? Matt 10:28-31 28 And do not fear them that can kill the body but are not able to kill your eternal life: but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both body and eternal life in the lake of fire. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. 30 He even knows how many hairs you have on your head. 31 Therefore do not fear because you are far more valuable than many sparrows. Do you believe Him? What is your attitude of being, is it one of disbelief. Do you believe maybe I am wrong about what is ahead? Do you think I am wrong about the coming 7th year Sabbath? What grounds to you base this thought on? What have I spoken about in these 63 videos and counting, not obeying Elohiym? Not trusting Him? Tell me who else has the same message of what He has given me to bring forward to the world? Lots of people are warning about the coming destruction and some are even saying to turn to Elohiym but are they saying turn to Him in truth or cry out to Him holding onto their false beliefs, not living by every word of Elohiym? It is obvious that most of you listening to this must not believe that I am speaking the un-adultered truth of the Most High as I claim to be because the message is not going out and we are running out of time. Are you waiting for a smooth talking type of prophet to arise from the religious confusion with a message that you are in agreement with? I can tell you that if you are not in agreement with what I have spoken, you are not in agreement with my Father. You simply reject that you are broken. You need to decide which of the following groups you are part of, which attitude of being you have; Matt 9:12-13 12 And when Yehshua heard this, He said unto them, they that are good do not desire a physician, but those who conceive they are bad do. 13 Moreover go learn what it means to desire mercy and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners. He was eating with those who were listening to Him. They knew that they needed what He was saying. The religious of the day did not need to be healed because they thought they were good to go, they thought they were innocent in their self-righteousness. I have discussed the word that is used He used here that is translated into mercy in other segments. It is the Greek word “eleos” and not “eleeo” which means to have pity or be compassionate. “eleos” refers to a special and immediate regard to misery which is the consequence of sin. Are you broken that the world rejects the truth. Are you broken that the world cannot believe their creator and receive His blessings? Are you broken that you have rejected His truths? I offer you the same instructions that Yehshua did that day, go and learn what it means to desire “eleos”, it is the same mercy that He said they lacked when He told them that they had omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, “ELEOS” and faith (belief). This “eleos” is what Ezekiel was referring to with regards to who will not be destroyed in the coming days. This is the same “eleos” that the 144,000 chose to be their attitude of being; Ezek 9:4-6 4 And YEHWEH said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, AND SET A MARK OR A SIGNATURE upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. 5 And I heard him say regarding the others, go after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have you pity or have compassion on them: (Why? Because they were not broken, they were right in their own eyes) 6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom has the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. You will need to have the right mark going forward and you will need to have the right oil in your lamp. If you think that rejecting His 7th year Sabbath is possessing the right oil, you are missing the mark and you have the mark, the mark of disobedience and not believing your Elohiym. What is in the midst of Jerusalem today? Christianity, Judaism and Islam, the three religions that claim to follow the Elohiym of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The same three that have rejected His truth, but now their time is about up, make sure you have the correct name written on your forehead, the proof will be yielded by what you practice. |
