MANY ARE CALLED
FEW ARE CHOSEN
Today I am
going to discuss what the Church of Elohiym is and what it is not.
Many understand that the word church is derived
from the Greek word Ekklesia in the New Testament writings.
It simply means called out ones, therefore the “Church
of Elohiym” is simply the called out of Elohiym.
It is not a particular organization of people; it is those
whom He and His Son are living in and that are learning to bear His name or His character.
Yehshua tells us plainly
in Matthew 22;
Matt 22:14
14 FOR MANY ARE CALLED, BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN.
This is very straightforward language, is says what it says and it means what it says.
Simply
believe Him and ask yourself why there are only a few chosen?
This verse says plainly that being called does not
automatically get you chosen into His Family.
It is important to know who this group of people are because we must
know if we are part of this small flock of those who are chosen or a member of the larger flock who thinks they are His chosen.
There is another statement that Yehshua made that directs us to “a way” or “a path” that leads
us to become His chosen;
Matt 7:13-15
13 Enter in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate, and broad is THE WAY that leads to destruction, AND
THERE ARE MANY WHO CHOOSE THIS PATH.
14 Because strait
is the gate and narrow is THE WAY, which leads to life, AND FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT.
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Let’s look at what Yehshua said about the called out
ones;
Matt 16:18-19
18 And I say also unto you, that you are Peter, and
on this rock I will build the called out ones; and the gates of hell (hades- the grave) shall
not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto you the keys of the
kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth
shall be loosed in heaven.
Different church groups have given themselves a license to exercise
rule over people from these two verses, most predominantly, the catholic church which my Father calls the mother whore of
Babylon.
Yehshua is telling Peter in the preceding verse that he is blessed because Elohiym had revealed to him
that He is the Messiah, the Son of Elohiym.
He goes on to tell Peter that you are Peter, his name is from the Greek
word Petrus which means a piece of a rock or small stone, and likewise on this Rock, which is a different Greek word, Petra
which means “large or mega rock” I will build the called out ones.
Who does Scripture teach is the
“rock”? Peter? No, Peter was full of zeal and he certainly was an Apostle but not “the rock” that
the called out ones would be built on.
It is only three verses later when Yehshua is calling Peter satan;
Matt 16:23
23 But He turned, and said to Peter, Get
you behind me, Satan: you are an offence to me: because you savor not the things that be of Elohiym, but those that be of
men.
That’s strange, he is telling Peter that he is the rock that the called out ones would
be built on, and then a few verses later He is telling him that he is satan and an offense to Him?
The last thing
that is recorded in scripture that Yehshua said to any man in the flesh after He was resurrected was an exchange with Peter
admonishing him TO FOLLOW HIM. This was recorded in the end of the book
of John.
No, Yehshua is telling Peter that the called out ones would be built on Himself, He is the Rock, He is
the gate, He became the logos of Elohiym. The very next verse explains this;
Matt 16:24-26
24 Then Yehshua said to his disciples, If any man will
come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, AND FOLLOW ME.
25 For
whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what
shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Notice He is not saying follow Peter here, He
is saying FOLLOW ME.
Paul says follow me, the catholic church says follow me and when you
get right down to it, all of the false prophets that take you away from the words of our Messiah or the commandments of His
Father are saying “Follow Me”, follow “my teachings, etc.
The “church” or the called
out ones of Elohiym are those who are denying self and FOLLOWING THE LAMB WHEREVER HE GOES. Are you following Him? Or are you following the teachings of men?
If you are not fighting to
live by every word of Elohiym and to be in agreement with Him and keeping His statutes and commandments, you are not following
the voice of the Shepherd and you are not part of the small flock.
It is time to repent and return to the Master
Potter, return to the narrow path of old, the path was put in place by Him, a path that so few have chosen to walk.
The first fruits of His family are sealed and most of them are waiting a resurrection into His family. Some of these first
fruits are written about in scripture, they are those who hungered and thirsted for their Creator, they depended on Him as
their source. We need to desire such hearts as these.
Yehshua gave us the blueprint and paid the price for our
transgressions on our behalf, what more could any of us want?
So why do you believe the words of Paul or some other
man over His words?
I did a video in the beginning of January suggesting that the 15th of that month could possibly
be the blowing of the 1st trumpet. I said I did not know for sure because it had not been given but that it fit into some
recorded dates in the scripture.
I bring this up because I said it is not about dates anyway, most of you will
hold onto your lies and reject what your Creator is saying through me about turning to the truth even after the destruction
begins.
Just as so many continue to reject the teachings of your Messiah even though He rose from the dead.
Dates won’t matter to you, a wicked and an adulterous generation requires a sign.
Was the first trumpet
going to blow that day and a voice told the angle to hold back?
Rev 8:1-2
8:1 And
when he had opened the seventh seal, there was SILENCE IN HEAVEN ABOUT THE SPACE OF HALF
AN HOUR.
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before
Elohiym; and to them were given seven trumpets.
What is this silence and what is the space of half
an hour? I believe it is a period of 100 days that takes us to the last day of Unleavened Bread according to my estimates
of the New Moon of the first month that Unleavened Bread is calculated from.
This is April 25th but this will not
matter to most of you anyway, even if this is the date. The warnings are there that it will be soon and most of you listening
to this certainly believe that we are approaching the end anyway, so why won’t those of you who are holding onto to
man-made religions repent?
I will tell you why, because the word of Elohiym does not have a place in you.
Whether the destruction begins on that day or before then or after then will not matter to you if you think you are in good
with your Creator in spite of your rebellion to His word.
The narrow path is a straight path. We were given statutes
and guidelines to keep us on that path. We were offered the Spirit of Elohiym to teach us His word and write His laws in our
hearts and minds.
I challenge you to consider whether you truly have His Spirit that you claim to possess. I
will give you a couple of challenge questions;
When you hear me or someone else say that He put the moon in place
to determine when His appointed times are, WHICH INCLUDES HIS WEEKLY SABBATHS, do you hunger for more information about the
subject so you can be in agreement with Him or do you scoff at the notion?
If you scoff at the notion, you simply
do not believe your Creator because He said that He put the luminaries there for this purposes.
Gen 1:14
14 And Elohiym said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day
from the night; and let them be for signs, and for APPOINTED TIMES, and for days, and
years:
Ps 104:19
19 He appointed the moon for
APPOINTED TIMES:
Some of you say that the Sabbath is not one
of these appointed times that the moon is to determine but the feasts are? How do you separate them when Leviticus 23 explains
that the weekly Sabbaths are APPOINTED TIMES before getting into the feasts?
Lev 23:1-4
23:1 And
YEHWEH spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak to the children of Israel,
and say unto them, concerning the APPOINTED TIMES of YEHWEH, which you shall proclaim
to be holy convocations, even these are my APPOINTED TIMES.
3
Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of
rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of YEHWEH in
all your dwellings.
Do you scoff at the instructions to not work on the Sabbath? How about turning
your foot from your own pleasure? Or how about not buying or selling on this set apart day?
Do you even care which
day it really is or are you one of those who say “I don’t think it really matters what day? Obviously you do not
FEAR YOUR ELOHIYM if that is the case.
Or do you think it is okay to keep worshipping Him on Saturday because it
is the day the Jews do? Well, you had better start fearing to be in disagreement with your Creator on the subject because
those who call themselves the Jewish people today admit to changing the calendar system in the fourth century.
Were
they authorized to do so? You had better dig into what Daniel and Isaiah said about Satan sitting on the mountain of the APPOINTED TIMES and his servants changing TIME AND LAWS.
It just so happens that Isaiah and Daniel are two of the 24 elders and were among those who were resurrected
when Yehshua was killed.
They are some pretty special servants of the Most High.
You will have to reject
another one of His servants as well because I am speaking these warnings to you on His behalf, so if you want to lean on your
own understanding and keep rejecting the word of Elohiym, that is your choice, you will soon be destroyed.
If you
think that the statutes and the commandments listed in what is called the Old Testament today do not need to be kept, you
simply call Yehshua, your Messiah a liar because He says;
Matt 5:17-18
17 THINK NOT THAT I AM COME TO DESTROY THE LAW, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy,
but to verify them.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and
earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in NO WISE PASS FROM THE LAW, till all
be made to be.
So you want to put your eternal destiny in believing the writings of Paul over your
Messiah? Good luck with that one.
No, He came and magnified the law, just as Isaiah prophesied He would. I see
heaven and earth are still here so I think it is pretty plain that the law is still there.
For that matter, analyze
what I am telling you closely, are my words pointing you to the word of Elohiym and the other Prophets and of His Son or taking
you away from them?
You want to scoff at these words? BE CAREFUL, my Father
says that He will mock you in your day of calamity if you mock Him. If you mock me, you mock Him because I bear His name.
How about men commanded to not destroy the boarders of their beards? Or any of those type of commandments? Wearing
fringes on our garments to remind us of His law? Do you want to scoff at those commandments? Yehshua Himself sure did not,
no, He feared being in disagreement with His Father.
Wait a minute, did I say that He feared being in disagreement
with His Father? He certainly commanded you and I to have this fear.
Revelations 3 tells us that He possessed the
seven Spirits of Elohiym and John 3 tells us that He was given His Spirit without measure. Let’s read what these seven
Spirits are;
Isa 11:1-3
11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the
stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2 And the
spirit of YEHWEH (1) shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom (2) and understanding (3), the spirit of counsel (4) and might
(5), the spirit of knowledge (6)AND OF THE FEAR OF YEHWEH (7);
3
And shall make HIM OF QUICK UNDERSTANDING IN THE FEAR OF YEHWEH:
and He shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of His ears:
I
have done other segments explaining these so you can go back and listen to them for more information about them and having
oil in your lamps.
No folks, the truth is we have been deceived because our Creator sent us into captivity. He
removed His protection from us because we rejected His word and we rejected the truth that His Son brought and perverted it
into a license to transgress the laws of His Father.
But there is GOOD NEWS,
He is not finished building His family. He is calling forth a remnant out of captivity to live into a new era of time when
His Son will return with the first fruits of His family and He will pour out His spirit on all flesh.
Satan will
be bound and it will be a marvelous time to live and learn of His ways, His narrow path that brings us into wholesome relationships
with Him and one another and evil will be purged out.
You must make the most of your time here before the destruction
begins to make straight your paths and turn to the pathway of the small flock that has been sealed into the first fruits of
His family.
You need to flee from the lies that have come out of the false teachings of men and turn to the words
of your Creator through His servants the prophets and through His Son.
The church of Elohiym is those that He is
calling, present tense. If He was calling you and you were coming to the call, you were part of this description; however,
if you got bogged down in the lies and refused to keep coming to the call because you would not believe Him on this or that,
YOU REMOVED YOURSELF FROM THIS GROUP BEFORE YOU BECAME PART
OF THE “SMALL FLOCK” which are those who are chosen to be in His family.
He is not building a family
of rebellious children. He is building a family of those who want to be perfect like He is with all of their being and they
know that He is the only source for that perfection.
Ps 42:1-2
1 As the
dear pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after you Elohiym.
You have to hunger for Him
as the Saints of the Most High have chosen to. THIS IS WHAT WILL GET YOU CHOSEN. Let the wicked turn from his ways and return
unto me says YEHWEH.
John 6:35-36
And Yehshua said unto them,
I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes into me
shall never thirst.
But I said unto you, that you also have seen me, and believe not.
He was the word of Elohiym, this is the name that He was given, not to do away with the word but to provide a gate that
we could have the word dwell in us and teach us.
