Do you truly believe?

Do you believe in the coming kingdom of Elohim on earth as it is now in heaven? Can you visualize the kingdom of Elohim in your mind’s eye? Or have you been deceived by Satan and his agents to believe that you are soon going to be raptured into heaven to spend eternity beholding the face of G-d? Let’s see what the Scriptures have to say about the subject, before jumping to any illogical, unscriptural conclusions. We read from first Corinthians 10: 1 - 11, about the things that happened to the Israelites in the wilderness, as follows: ‘For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; (2) and all were immersed into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; (3) and all ate the same spiritual food; (4) and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Messiah. (5) Nevertheless, with most of them Elohim was not well-pleased; for they were laid low in the wilderness. (6) Now these things happened as examples for us, that we should not crave evil things, as they also craved. (7) And do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, ‘THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND DRINK, AND STOOD UP TO PLAY.” (8) Nor let us act immorally, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day. (9) Nor let us try YHVH, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the serpents. (10) Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer. (11)Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.’ Are we taking the things that happened to ancient Israel during their exodus out of Egypt, and their subsequent wanderings in the wilderness seriously, or do we see them simply as stories?

We see Rav Shaul’s warning message to those of us living in the latter days, not to make the same mistake that prevented our ancient forebears from entering the Promised land, from Hebrews 3: 7 – 11 in this way: ‘Therefore, just as the Set-apart Spirit says, “TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE (we need to understand that since this is quoted directly from the word of Elohim – this is in effect Elohim speaking to us personally), (8) DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME, AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS, (9) WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED ME BY TESTING ME, AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS. (10) THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION (the first generation of Israelites who came out of Egypt), AND SAID, THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART (meaning in what they believe); AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS’; (11) AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, ‘THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.’’ The word rest in the case of the ancient Israelites meant entering the land that YHVH promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob forever. Rav Shaul continues in Hebrews 3: 12, saying: ‘Take care, brethren, lest there should be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart, in falling away from the living Elohim.’ Do you believe that you will enter the land promised to the heirs of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, or the kingdom of Elohim when Messiah returns to rule the world from Jerusalem? Or have you been deceived by the churches of this world to believe that you and I will inherit a dwelling place in heaven immediately after we die?

Fellow believers in Messiah, what you and I believe at this time is far more important than what we think! There are people and groups of people, who even though they insist that they are teaching Christianity the Hebrew roots of their faith, are even now teaching people that they are going to be raptured to heaven when Messiah comes the second time. They have an elaborate picture in their mind’s eye of spending eternity in the third (or as they believe the seventh heaven) where Elohim dwells.They insist that when Messiah spoke about the kingdom of Elohim, He meant the kingdom in or of heaven, as He sometimes referred to it, in the Book of Matthew and especially the so-called Beatitudes in Matthew 5. However, if they paid closer attention to what Messiah taught in Matthew 5, 6 & 7, where He magnified the Law, as was prophesied about Him in Isaiah 42: 21, they will eventually get to understand that even though Elohim’s Kingdom is presently in heaven, it will come to earth as Yahshua taught us to pray in Matthew 6: 9 and 10, saying: “Pray, then in this way: ‘Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed by Thy name. (10) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.’” Verse 10 is vitally important to understand, since this is something we should believein with our hearts (belief systems) and souls (the way we live our lives)! Even though Elohim’s Kingdom is presently located in heaven, YHVH planned to come and dwell with His people from the beginning and to establish His kingdom on earth, so that everyone who dwellshere will ultimately be persuaded to do His will.To this end Messiah taught in Matthew 5: 5 saying: “Blessed are the gentle (or the meek), for they shall inherit the earth.” We also see from Psalm 115: 16, the Psalmist endorsing this, by saying: ‘The heavens are the heavens of YHVH; but the earth He has given to the sons of men.’ Solomon who is known to be the wisest man who ever lived, in agreement wrote in Proverbs 2: 21 & 22, saying: ‘For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it; (22) but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be uprooted from it.’

If these folk who teach Christians their Hebrew roots understand that all Jews believe in the coming kingdom of Elohim, during which the Messiah will come and rule the united nation of Israel, consisting of both the house of Judah and the house of Israel in the Promised Land (or the kingdom of Elohim on earth), they will refrain from teaching about a future rapture during which true believers will be taken up to heaven to dwell with Elohim.[1] They will teach the one and only true gospel which the Jews believed in all along, and which Messiah preached from the minute He started His ministry, after being immersed by Yochanan the Immerser, as recorded in Mark 1: 14 & 15, as follows: ‘And after Johnhad been taken into custody, Yahshua came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of Elohim, (15) and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of Elohim is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”’ Sad to say, even those who try to bring truth to Christianity, are even now doing what Rav Shaul warned about in Galatians 1: 6 – 9, saying: ‘I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Messiah, for a different gospel (a different good news - where instead of YHVH bringing His eternal Kingdom to earth, believers areraptured to heaven, which is comparable to whenSatan rebelled and tried to take over Elohim’s throne in the third heaven, as recorded in Isaiah 14: 12 – 14[2], when Satanwas thrown down to earth, as witnessed by Yahshua in Luke 10: 18[3]- something most in Christianity are not aware of); (7) which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you, and want to distort the gospel of Messiah (the one He preached). (8) But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed. (9) As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed.” These are serious matters, but very few truly understand what Rav Shaul was trying to say here.

Nevertheless, let’s continue in Hebrews 3: 13 – 4: 2, where Rav Shaul wrote:‘But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.’ (Whilst we are still living in the time prior to Messiah’s return, we have time to accept the true gospel and base our beliefs on the promises Elohim made to our fathers in the faith, trusting that we as heirs of Abraham through Messiah {as Rav Shaul wrote in Galatians 3: 29[4]} will inherit the Promised Land or kingdom of Elohim on earth, with them.) (14) For we have become partakers of Messiah, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance (of inheriting the Promised Land – or the kingdom of Elohim on earth) firm until the end; (15) while it is said, “TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE (if YHVH calls you to become a believer in the true Messiah during this dispensation – we need to be mindful of the truth that we can only come to Messiah if the Father calls us, as Yahshua said in John 6: 44[5]), DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME.’ (16) For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? (17) And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? (18) And to whom did He swear that they should not enter His rest, but to those who are disobedient? (19) And so we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief. (4: 1) Therefore, let us fear lest, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. (2) For indeed we have had good news (the gospel) preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard.’ Do we have enough faith to believe that Yahshua is going to establish His coming kingdom on earth, as it is now in heaven, or are we going to be sidetracked to believe the falsehood both Christianity and the Muslims teach? Ancient Israel did not believe that Elohim could take them into the Promised Land and protect them against the stronger nations who lived there. Are we making the same mistake?

Continuing in verses 3 – 5 of Hebrews 4, Rav Shaul wrote: ‘For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said; “AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST,” although His works were finished from the foundation of the world. (4) For He has thus said somewhere concerning the seventh day, “AND ELOHIM RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS”; (5) and again in this passage, “THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.” (6) Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience.’ YHVH is busy calling a remnant of true believers to come out of the churches of the world, to believe the true gospel about the coming kingdom of Elohim, but also to live in this world as Ambassadors of His coming kingdom, showing the Israelites and others amongst whom we live, how citizens of the kingdom of Elohim should live as also witnessed in Ephesians 6: 18 – 20, in this way: ‘With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, (19) and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, (20) for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.’ A second witness to this comes from 2 Corinthians 5: 20, as follows: ‘Therefore, we are ambassadors for Messiah, as though Elohim were entreating through us; we beg you on behalf of Messiah, be reconciled to Elohim.’ But, even though YHVH is presently calling a remnant from the lost ten tribes of Israel, Yahshua is not choosing all of those whom YHVH is calling, since they are not prepared to do what the Father requires of them, as Yahshua also taught in Matthew 22: 14, saying “For many are called, but few are chosen.” YHVH will lead the ones He is calling out of the false religions of the world, out into the wilderness, but will not tolerate any rebels, who either keep different Feast days to which He ordained through the Jews, who sit in Moses’ seat at present, or are too ‘clever’ to be taught by the teachers whom He is appointing at this time, to enter into the promised land, as Ezekiel prophesied in Ezekiel 20: 33 – 38, as follows: ‘“As I live,” declares YHVH Elohim, “surely with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm and with wrath poured out, I shall be king over you.(34)And I shall bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands where you are scattered, with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm and with wrath poured out; (35)and I shall bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I shall enter into judgment with you face to face. (36)As I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you,” declares YHVH Elohim. (37)And I shall make you pass under the rod, and I shall bring you into the bond of the covenant; (38)and I shall purge from you the rebels and those who transgress against Me; I shall bring them out of the land where they sojourn, but they will not enter the land of Israel. Thus you will know that I am YHVH.’

Returning to Rav Shaul teaching in Hebrews 4: 7 – 11, we read:‘He again fixes a certain day, ‘Today, saying through David (in Psalm 95: 7f) after so long a time just as has been said before, “TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS.” (8)For if Joshua (who took the children of the ancient nation of Israel into the Promised Land) had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that. (9) There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of Elohim. (Yes, we together with our Jewish Brothers are Elohim’s chosen people, but we need to continue keeping the weekly Sabbath as a rest day, but also as a shadow of Messiah’s millennium rule of a thousand years of rest and re-education, after mankind’s six thousand years of misrule.) (10) For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as Elohim did from His. (11)Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest(in the kingdom of Elohim, which Yahshua will usher in at His imminent return to earth), lest anyone fall through following the same example of disobedience.” Let me therefore ask again: Do you believe you are going to heaven when you die one day, or are you preparing to enter the kingdom of Elohim at Messiah’s return?Do you believe those who teach falsehood about going to heaven, or do you believe what Yahshua taught whilst He was on earth? The choice is yours.

Many in the Messianic faith believe that until Yahshua went to heaven, the souls of true believers were held in Abraham’s bosom, at which time they flew to heaven, where they are now consciously beholding the face of Elohim, for all eternity. If that is what you believe, you believe what most Christians and Muslims do, who believe that they have immortal souls, which is fact just the opposite of what Yahshua and the rest of the Scriptures teach! We read from first Timothy 6: 16 what Rav Shaul wrote about YHVH, saying: ‘Who alone possesses immortality and dwells in an unapproachable light; whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amein.’ We read the first witness about when Messiah returns to come and rule the united nation of Israel, and ultimately the rest of the world from Acts 15: 16 – 18, as follows: ‘AFTER THESE THINGS I will return, AND I WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID WHICH HAS FALLEN, AND I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS, AND I WILL RESTORE IT, (17) IN ORDER THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK YHVH, AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,’(18) SAYS YHVH, WHO MAKES THESE THINGS KNOWN FROM OF OLD.’ A second more specific witness comes from Ezekiel 37: 15 – 28, in this way: ‘The word of YHVH came again to me saying, (16)“And you, son of man, take for yourself one stick and write on it, ‘For Judah and for the sons of Israel, his companions’; then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his companions.’ (17)Then join them for yourself one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand. (18)And when the sons of your people speak to you saying, ‘Will you not declare to us what you mean by these?’ (19)say to them, ‘Thus says YHVH Elohim, “Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand.” (20)And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes. (21)And say to them, ‘Thus says YHVH Elohim, “Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; (22)and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king for all of them; and they will no longer be two nations, and they will no longer be divided into two kingdoms. (23)And they will no longer defile themselves with their idols, or with their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. And they will be My people, and I will be their Elohim. (24)And My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd; and they will walk in My ordinances, and keep My statutes, and observe them. (25)And they shall live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant, in which your fathers lived; and they will live on it, they, and their sons, and their sons’ sons, forever; and David My servant shall be their prince forever. (26)And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will place them and multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in their midst forever. (27)My dwelling place also will be with them; and I will be their Elohim, and they will be My people. (28)And the nations will know that I am YHVH who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forever.’

Most believers agree that if there were two people who were assured of their salvation and truly qualified to ‘go to heaven’ if that was really what happen to true believers, they were King David and father Abraham. Yet, we see what Rav Kepha taught about King David in Acts 2: 29 saying: “Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.” King David’s hope, and ours, is to live again through the sacrificial death of Yahshua Messiah and the resurrection available through Him, as he believed and also wrote in Psalm 22: 27 - 29, saying: ‘All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to YHVH, and all the families of the nations will worship before Thee.(28) For the kingdom is (YHVH)’s, and He rules over the nations. (29) All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, all those who go down to the dust will bow before Him, even he who cannot keep his soul alive.’This is talking about the second resurrection, when YHVH will open the Scriptures to the minds of all people who ever lived (as witnessed in Isaiah 25: 7 – 9[6]) and all knees will bow before Yahshua (as witnessed in Philippians 2: 9 & 11[7]). Those who insist that Acts 2: 29 is only talking about David’s tomb and that his soul ascended to heaven at death, should also read verses 34 & 35 tounderstand the truth, as follows: “For it was not David who ascended into heaven, but he himself says: ‘YHVH SAID TO MY MASTER, “SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, (35) UNTIL I MAKE THINE ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR THY FEET.”’ But, what about father Abraham - surely He was righteous enough to make it into heaven? Surprisingly not according to Messiah’s own words to Nicodemus in John 3: 13, where He said: “And no one ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven, even the Son of Man.” Think about it - what did YHVH promise Abraham and his heirs through Isaac? We find the answer in Genesis 17: 8, where Elohim told Abraham saying: ‘And I will give to you and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their Elohim.’But, we see from Hebrews 11: 8 – 10 & 39 that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and indeed the rest of our fathers and mothers in the faith did not receive what was promised them yet, as follows: ‘By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is Elohim. (39) And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised.’ When will all our fathers and mothers in the faith receive what was promised? We get the answer in Hebrews 11: 40, in this way: ‘Because Elohim had provided something better for us, so that apart from us they (our fathers in the faith) should not be made perfect.’So this tells us clearly, that our fathers and mothers in the faith are still in their graves, awaiting the first resurrection, as they also clearly understood, as recorded in Hebrews 11: 17 – 19 as follows: ‘By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac; and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son; (18) it was he to whom it was said, “IN ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE CALLED.” (19) He considered that Elohim is able to raise men even from the dead; from which he also received him back as a type (of Messiah).’

Rav Shaul tells us clearly in first Thessalonians 4: 13 – 17, that when Messiah returns on the Feast of Trumpets, the dead in Him, including our fathers in the faith, will be resurrected and willtogether with those of us who remain alive at His coming, be changed into Spiritual Children of Elohim, to rule with Him for a thousand years, in this way:‘But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep (meaning dead in their graves), that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope. (14) For if we believe that Yahshua died and rose again, even so Elohim will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Yahshua. (15) For this we say to you by the word of the Master, that we who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Master, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. (16) For the Master Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of Elohim; and the dead in Messiah shall rise first. (17) Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Master in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Master.’ These are the same clouds in which Yahshua ascended to heaven after teaching His disciples for 40 days about the Kingdom of Elohim, when the two angels told His disciples in Acts 1: 11, saying: “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Yahshua, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” We get additional information about Messiah’s return in Matthew 24: 29 - 31, where Yahshua said to His disciples: “But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken, (30) and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. (31) And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other."

But we are given even more details about this in the book of Revelation, where Yochanan recorded the vision Yahshua revealed to him,after His ascension to heaven, saying in chapter 20: 4 -6: ‘And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of Yahshua and because of the word of Elohim, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years. (5) The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. (6) Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of Elohim, and of Messiah and will reign with Him for a thousand years.’ We see further from Revelation 5: 10, where these priests of YHVH and Messiah will rule during the millennium and beyond, as follows: “And Thou hast made them to be a kingdom and priests to our Elohim; and they will reign upon the earth.” Brethren, these verses are not written in code and we do not need special knowledge about hermeneuticsto understand the same. No, these Scriptures are written in plain English, for all those whom YHVH has called, and has given knowledge to understand the gospel about His soon coming Kingdom, as Yahshua explained in Matthew 13: 11, 12 and the first part of verse 19, saying: “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. (12) For whoever has, to him shall more be given, and he shall have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him. (19) When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatched away what has been sown in his heart.” A second witness to verse 19 comes from 2 Corinthians 4: 3 & 4, in this way: ‘And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, (4) in whose case the god of this world (Satan) has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Messiah, who is the image of Elohim.’

It is clear that those of us who understand these things, are very blessed since YHVH must have revealed it to us through His word as Rav Yaa’cov also tells us in James 1: 16 - 18, saying: ‘Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. (17) Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow. (18) In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we might be, as it were, the first fruits among His creatures.’It is similar to what Yahshua told Thomas when he recognized Yahshua as His Master and Elohim in John 20: 28, when Yahshua said to Thomas in verse29: “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.” Notice carefully what Yahshua told Thomas here; He did not ask him not to address Him as Elohim, but instead said to him, that those of us who believe that Yahshua is Elohim, without ever seeing Him, are indeed blessed.We need to understand that YHVH our Elohim used His annual Feast Days to show us His plan of salvation for all mankind. In addition He sent Yahshua our perfect example to show us the way to worship Him.This is exactly what Yahshua told His disciples and those of us who believe in Him in John 14: 6, saying: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” But, the problem is that not many believe and practice what Yahshua taught His disciples, whilst He was on earth. Yahshua our Messiah will return to come and rule the world from Jerusalem, whether you believe it or not. This was also prophesied by Daniel in Daniel 7: 13 & 14, as follows: “I Kept looking in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, and He came up to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him. (14) And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and men of every language might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed.” When Messiah returns one day, the dead in Messiah will be resurrected and those alive will be changed into Spiritual sons and daughters of Elohim, and will rule underHim for a thousand years. Do you believe what is revealed in the Scriptures? Or are you going to be rejected as a ruler, because of unbelief? Think carefully about it!

[2] Isaiah talking about Satan’s rebellion in Isaiah 14: 12 – 14, saying: “How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning (the KJV reads: Lucifer), son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, you who have weakened the nations! But you said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars (meaning the angels) of Elohim, and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north (where Elohim’s throne is). I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’”

[6] Isaiah 25: 7 – 9: ‘And on this mountain (meaning Elohim’s Kingdom) He will swallow up the covering which is over all peoples, even the veil which is stretched over all nations. He will swallow up death for all time, and YHVH Elohim will wipe tears away from all faces, and He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth; for YHVH has spoken. And it will be said in that day, “Behold, this is our Elohim for whom we have waited that He might save us. This is YHVH for who we have waited; let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation (Yahshua).”’

[7] Philippians 2: 9 -11: ‘Therefore also Elohim highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Yahshua EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Yahshua Messiah is Master (Maryah in Aramaic, meaning Master YHVH), to the glory of Elohim the Father.’
