57 Our heavenly Father is an Elohim inte

Our Heavenly Father is an Elohim interested in detail

Have you noticed the great deal of detail in which YHVH instructed Moses concerning the construction of the Tabernacle in the wilderness? Whereas it took a little more than a single chapter to describe the structure of the world, it took six chapters of detailed instructions for Moses to build the Tabernacle. Many of us called especially from Christianity came to believe that our Father does not care, as long as we do things to His glory, as long as it comes from your heart. Because we have been deceived by Satan and his many agents in the past, we came to this major misunderstanding of what is required of us.

As soon as you and I start thinking that we are correct because we feel in our hearts that it is so; we should immediately recall Jeremiah’s words in Jeremiah 17: 9, saying: “The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick (the KJV reads wicked); who can understand it? Our Father judges us by His word and not by what is in our hearts. YHVH told Moses to build the Tabernacle in Exodus 25: 40, saying: “And see that you make them after the pattern for them, which was shown to you on the mountain.” We see a similar explanation given to Ezekiel in Ezekiel 43: 7 – 12, in this way: ‘And He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the sons of Israel forever. And the house of Israel will not again defile My holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their harlotry and by the corpses of their kings when they die (Notice this is only talking about the house of Israel as those who used to defile Elohim’s Temple, not the house of Judah who remained loyal to YHVH ever since a remnant of them returned from Babylon to rebuild the Temple and the walls of Jerusalem 2,500 years ago. This for one is proof that groups like the Churches of G-d and the Assemblies of YHVH, who believe that they have replaced the house of Judah as Zion[1], are mistaken. Yes, they like us could become part of Zion once again, if we all truly return to YHVH and the covenant relationship we as the house of Israel made with Him, together with the house of Judah whom He chose, whilst rejecting us because of idolatry), (8) by setting their threshold by My threshold, and their door post beside My door post, with only the wall between Me and them. And they have defiled My holy name by their abominations which they have committed. So I have consumed them in My anger. (9) Now let them put away their harlotry and their corpses of their kings far from Me; and I will dwell among them forever. (10) As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the plan. (11) And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the house, its structure, its exits, its entrances, all its designs, all its statutes, and all its laws. And write it in their sight, so that they may observe its whole design and all its statutes, and do them. (12) This is the law of the house: its entire area on the top of the mountain all around shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.” Elohim places great importance on observing details. When we consider the exact dimensions and pattern of the Tabernacle, we understand how severely we as the house of Israel have corrupted the concept of the House of worship and strayed from the true faith of Elohim.

However, whenever one mentions the detail in which Elohim wants us to serve and obey Him, some immediately say or think you are being overly legalistic. But if we consider what YHVH told us in Deuteronomy 10: 12 saying: “And now, Israel, what does YHVH your Elohim require from you, but to fear YHVH your Elohim, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve YHVH your Elohim with all your heart (what you believe) and with all your soul (the way you live).” Does that sound like Elohim could not care what we do, as long as our hearts are right? No, our hearts and the way we live our lives and the specifics of how we serve and obey Elohim, have to align. But, then I hear some saying: ‘Love covers a multitude of sins.’ But, I am afraid this type of thinking has led many true believers to forget and cover up their past sins and have been deceived into false salvation. We need to remember, even if we have been immersed in the saving name of Yahshua and had the hands of a teaching elder of Elohim’s congregation lain upon us, we might have had the Set-apart Spirit indwelling us once, since Elohim gives His Set-apart Spirit to those who obey Him (as per Acts 5: 32). We need to be ever mindful of what Yochanan wrote in 1 John 5: 2 & 3, saying: “By this we know that we love the children of Elohim, when we love Elohim and observe His commandments. (3) For this is the love of Elohim, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.” Yahshua also confirmed this in John 14: 15, saying: “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” Rav Shaul went further in 1 Corinthians 3: 16 & 17, saying: “Do you not know that you are a temple of Elohim, and that the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you? (17) If any man destroys the temple of Elohim, Elohim will destroy him, for the temple of Elohim is holy, and that is what you are.”

In Deuteronomy 4: 1 & 2 YHVH instructed us not to digress from the pattern that He gave us in His word, saying: “And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the Judgments which I am teaching you to perform, in order that you may live and go in and take possession of the land which YHVH, the Elohim of your fathers, is giving you. (2) You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, not take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of YHVH your Elohim which I command you.” If we recall Yahshua’s words to the Jews in John 10: 14 - 16, where He authenticated their synagogue as being His sheepfold, saying: “I am the good shepherd; and I know My own, and My own know Me, (15) even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. (16) And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they shall hear my voice; and they shall become one flock with one shepherd.” We will understand that He was referring to a time yet in the future when He would join the two houses into the commonwealth of Israel once again, (as Rav Shaul explains in Ephesian 2: 1 – 19), and YHVH showed Ezekiel in a prophecy in Ezekiel 37: 20 – 24, saying: “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.”’ If we truly understand that He did not come to save the Jews, whom He said does not need a physician and that the Renewed Covenant was written primarily for us from the lost ten tribes, we will understand that when He pointed out some of their shortcomings in Matthew 15: 8 & 9, saying: ‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. (9) BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.’ It was to serve as an example so that we correct the things we learned from the churches of the world, where we observed traditions of men like Xmas, Easter etc.

YHVH expects us to follow His word in detail and that it is a sin for us to give permission for practices that are forbidden by Elohim, or to forbid the practices that are commanded by Him. We have a number of examples in the Scriptures showing how absolutely careful we should be when it comes to serving YHVH our Elohim. Nadab and Abihu the two sons of Aaron knew that only their father Aaron the High Priest in Israel could offer incense on a fire pan to YHVH, and that he should only do so once a year on the Day of Atonement. But we read from Leviticus 10: 1 & 2: ‘Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their respective firepans, and after putting fire in them, placed incense on it and offered strange fire before YHVH, which He had not commanded them. (2) And fire came out from the presence of YHVH and consumed them, and they died before YHVH.’ This shows that we need to be very careful how we serve YHVH. But we see later in verse 9 why these two sons of Aaron became so arrogant to do what they did when YHVH spoke to Aaron, saying: “Do not drink wine or strong drink, neither you nor your sons with you, when you come into the tent of meeting, so that you may not die— it is a perpetual statute throughout your generations.” Aaron’s sons did what they were commanded not to do, but they did so because they were under the influence of alcohol. We have a second witness about the severity of Elohim, if we do not obey Him in the exact detail that He prescribes. To be able to understand what went wrong in this case, we need to consider the commandments in this regards by reading from Numbers 4: 15, as follows: “And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set out, after that the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them, so that they may not touch the holy objects and die. These are the things in the tent of meeting which the sons of Kohath are to carry.” Later when King David was escorting the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem, he did not do it as YHVH commanded, as witnessed in 2 Samuel 6: 2 – 10, in this way: ‘And David arose and went with all the people who were with him to Baale-judah, to bring up from there the ark of Elohim which is called by the Name, the very name of YHVH of hosts who is enthroned above the cherubim. (3) And they placed the ark of Elohim on a new cart that they might bring it from the house of Abinadab which was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were leading the new cart. (4) So they brought it with the ark of Elohim from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill; and Ahio was walking ahead of the ark. (5) Meanwhile, David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before YHVH with all kinds of instruments made of fir wood, and with lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets and cymbals. (6) But when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out toward the ark of Elohim and took hold of it, for the oxen nearly upset it. (7) And the anger of YHVH burned against Uzzah, and Elohim struck him down there for his irreverence; and he died there by the ark of Elohim. (8) And David became angry because of (YHVH)’s outburst against Uzzah, and that place is called Perez-uzzah to this day. (9) So David was afraid of YHVH that day; and he said, “How can the ark of YHVH come to me?” (10) And David was unwilling to move the ark of YHVH into the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.’

King David was actually angry with himself, because he as the King of the nation should have known Elohim’s specific instructions regarding the transport of the ark of the covenant. King David later realized why YHVH acted as He did, as we read from 1 Chronicles 15: 2, 13 - 15, as follows: ‘Then David said, “No one is to carry the ark of Elohim but the Levites; for YHVH chose them to carry the ark of Elohim, and to minister to Him forever. (13) Because you did not carry it at the first, YHVH our Elohim made an outburst on us, for we did not seek Him according to the ordinance.” (14) So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of YHVH Elohim of Israel. (15) And the sons of the Levites carried the ark of Elohim on their shoulders, with the poles thereon as Moses had commanded according to the word of YHVH.’ This does not mean that Uzzah will not be in the Kingdom of Elohim one day, but it means that YHVH is extremely serious about His word. Rav Kepha warns us about this in 2 Peter 3: 9, saying: “Adonai is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” Rav Shaul writes in this regard in Romans 2: 4, saying: ‘Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, nor knowing that the kindness of Elohim leads you to repentance?’ Rav Shaul also tells us that YHVH has promised to reveal our sins of ignorance to us in Philippians 3: 15 - 17, saying: ‘Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, Elohim will reveal that also to you; (16) however, let us keep living by the same standard to which we have attained. (17) Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us.’ But we should remember that once we have been shown the correct way, we should not divert in any way from it, as Yahshua warned in Luke 12: 47 & 48, saying: “And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, shall receive many lashes, (48) but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. And from everyone who has been given much shall much be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.” However, there are those who assume YHVH has changed over the years, once He got to know us. Purely because we do ‘good’ deeds, does not make us righteous, as Yahshua explained in Matthew 7: 21 – 23, saying: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. (22) Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Master, Master, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ (23) And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ YHVH never changes as we read from Malachi 3: 6, saying: “For I, YHVH, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.” YHVH has given us a pattern according to which He wants us to worship Him and it has not changed!

When Christianity was started in opposition to the sect of the Nazarenes, which was essentially a sect of the Pharisees, they did what was convenient for them, as can be seen from the Sabbaths that they establish for themselves to worship on. We learn this from Socrates: “(H.E., vi.c8) that in his time public worship was held in the churches of Constantinople on both days…. The view that the Christian’s Lord’s day on Sunday is but the Christian Sabbath deliberately transferred from the seventh to the first day of the week does not indeed find categorical expression till a much later period….. The earliest recognition of the observance of Sunday as a legal duty is a constitution of Constantine AD 321, enacting that all courts of justice, inhabitants of towns and workshops were to be at rest on Sunday (Venerabili die Solace) with an exception in favor of those engaged in agricultural labor…. The Council of Laodicea (363)… forbids Christians from Judaizing and resting on a Sabbath Day, preferring the Lords Day and as far as possible resting as Christians.” - Encyclopedia Britannica, 1899 addition volume XX111 page 654. So even though YHVH gave a pattern we cannot change, the Gentile Christian churches left the faith of Elohim for a more convenient course.

YHVH instructed Moses in Exodus 25: 8, saying: “And let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them.” We see from Exodus 40: 34 – 38 what happened once the children of Israel completed the Tabernacle in the wilderness, in this way: ‘Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of YHVH filled the tabernacle. (35) And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of YHVH filled the tabernacle. (36) And throughout all their journeys whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel would set out; (37) but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day when it was taken up. (38) For throughout all their journeys, the cloud of YHVH was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel.’ The Tabernacle in the wilderness was a type of Messiah, since Messiah was called Immanuel, Elohim with us (as recorded in Matthew 1: 23). There are people in the world that actually came to despise Torah and believe that our Father YHVH is out to get them. However, if you consider the truth that YHVH sent His visible image to reconcile the lost sheep of the house of Israel back to Him and the house of Judah; in order to establish the commonwealth of Israel, or Kingdom of Elohim on earth as it is now in heaven, but also to provide a Savior for the rest of mankind, then it is plain to see YHVH is 100% for us. The truth is if YHVH was out to get us, there is no power on earth that could save us from His hand, as He is more powerful than anything else. We read accordingly from John 3: 16 & 17, as follows: “For Elohim so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. (17) For Elohim did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him.” However, many in Christianity who confess faith in Yahshua does not believe in Him, since they teach that He abolished or kept Torah for them. But, how can I make such a statement? Yahshua Himself gave us the answer in John 5: 43 – 47, saying: “I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive (or believe) Me; if another shall come in His own name, you will receive him. (44) How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only Elohim? (45) Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope. (46) For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote of Me. (47) But if you do not believe his writings (Torah), how will you believe My words?”

We read further about Elohim’s love for us from 1 John 3: 1 – 3, in this way: ‘See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of Elohim, and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. (2) Beloved, now we are children of Elohim, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is. (3) And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.” If we want a fulfilled life on earth, and eternal life when Messiah returns, we need to make sure that we have YHVH our Elohim on our side. We want Him to be for us and not against us, and He made that possible through Yahshua our Messiah. Rav Shaul confirms this in Romans 8: 31 & 32, saying: ‘What then shall we say to these things? If Elohim is for us, who is against us? (31) He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?’ It was only once Messiah was resurrected from the dead, that we knew He was Elohim with us, as Thomas discovered and said in John 20: 25 – 29, as follows: ‘The other disciples therefore were saying to him (Thomas), “We have seen the Master!” But he said to them, “Unless I shall see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” (26) And after eight days again His disciples were inside, and Thomas with them. Yahshua came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst, and said, “Peace be with you.” (27) Then He said to Thomas, “Reach here your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand, and put it into My side; and be not unbelieving, but believing.” (28) Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Master (Adonai) and my Elohim!” (29) Yahshua said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.” Yahshua was telling Thomas here that we, who believe that He is Elohim in the flesh, without seeing that it was Him who died and was resurrected, are indeed blessed.

Messiah’s resurrection opens the door to eternal life for us, since we were totally lost before He called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. The moment we are immersed and confess with our mouths that Yahshua is our Messiah and Passover, we become part of His family. Once we receive the gift of the Set-apart Spirit, we are moved from being an enemy of YHVH to His child. YHVH promised to bring us from the house of Israel back to Him in Hosea 3: 4 & 5, saying: “For the sons of Israel will remain for many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, and without ephod or household idols. (5) Afterward the sons of Israel will return and seek YHVH their Elohim and David their king; and they will come trembling to YHVH and His goodness in the last days.” We will be fleeing into the wilderness, just like our ancient forebears did and will need protection and provision during the great tribulation and Day of YHVH, as the prophet Joel prophesied in Joel 2: 1 – 4, saying: “Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of YHVH is coming; surely it is near, (2) a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn is spread over the mountains, so there is a great and mighty people; there has never been anything like it, nor will there be again after it to the years of many generations. (3) A fire consumes before them, and behind them a flame burns. The land is like a garden of Eden before them, but a desolate wilderness behind them, and nothing at all escapes them. (4) Their appearance is like the appearance of horses; and like war horses, so they run.” The great tribulation and Day of YHVH is said to be seven years and will begin when the “abomination of Desolation” is set up in the Temple of Elohim. But because of the fierceness of the tribulation YHVH will cut it short for the sake of the elect, else all life on earth would be destroyed (as confirmed by Yahshua in Matthew 24: 22). In addition we see that YHVH will protect His people in the wilderness, as witnessed in Revelation 12: 6, as follows: ‘And the woman (Messiah’s bride consisting of a remnant of the house of Judah and the house of Israel as shown in Jeremiah 31: 31 – 33) fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared by Elohim, so that there she might be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty day (or 3½ years).’

Then, at the end of the 3½ years an amazing thing will occur, as Yahshua showed Yochanan His disciple in Revelation 19: 11 – 16, as follows: ‘And I saw heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True; and in righteousness He judges and wages war. (12) And His eyes are a flame of fire, and upon His head are many diadems; and He has a name written upon Him which no one knows except Himself. (13) And He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood; and His name is called The Word of Elohim. (14) And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. (15) And from His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may smite the nations; and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of Elohim, the Almighty. (16) And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND MASTER OF MASTERS.” Jeremiah confirmed this in Jeremiah 23 3 – 6, saying: “Then I Myself shall gather the remnant of My flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and shall bring them back to their pasture; and they will be fruitful and multiply. (4) I shall also raise up shepherds over them and they will tend them; and they will not be afraid any longer, nor be terrified, nor will any be missing, " declares YHVH. (5) Behold, the days are coming,” declares YHVH, “when I shall raise up for David a righteous Branch; and He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land. (6) In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely; and this is His name by which He will be called, YHVH our righteousness.’ Yahshua’s did not come the first time to save Jews, but to start the process of bringing the lost ten tribes back to the marriage covenant we made with Elohim, together with Judah at Mount Sinai.

When Messiah returns one day, His very first task will be to save the tents of Judah first, as recorded in Zechariah 12: 7 – 10, in this way: “YHVH also will save the tents of Judah first in order that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not be magnified above Judah. (8) In that day YHVH will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who is feeble among them in that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like Elohim, like the angel of YHVH before them. (9) And it will come about in that day that I will set about to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. (10) And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him, like the bitter weeping over a first-born.” The house of David is the house of Judah ruled over by King David’s son Rehobaom when the house of Israel left the commonwealth saying in 1 Kings 12: 16, ‘“What portion do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; to your tents, O Israel! Now look after your own house, David! So Israel departed to their tents.”’ But, as Rav Shaul wrote about the house in Judah in Romans 11: 15, saying: ‘For if their rejection be the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance (of Messiah) be but life from the dead?’ This is confirmed in 1 Thessalonians 4: 14 – 17, as follows: ‘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.” Where will those who are resurrected and those still alive meet the Master in the air?

If you recall when Yahshua ascended to heaven 40 days after His resurrection, His disciples walked with Him to the top of Mount Sinai and He ascended to heaven as recorded in Acts 1: 9 – 11, in this way: ‘And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. (10) And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was departing, behold two men in white clothing stood beside them; (11) and they also said, “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.” When Messiah return one day those of us who qualify will be resurrected as Spiritual sons of Elohim, as Rav Shaul described in 1 Corinthians 15: 50 – 52, saying: ‘Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of Elohim; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. (51) Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, (52) in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.’ We read Yahshua’s explanation about His return in Matthew 24: 29 – 31, saying: “But immediately after the tribulation of those fays 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.” As spirit beings the elect (including His original eleven faithful disciples) will meet Messiah in the air on top of the Mount of Olives, just as the two angels told His disciples, when He ascended to heaven 2,000 years ago. This will be when Messiah’s reign will start upon the earth, as He has shown Yochanan in Revelation 20: 6, saying: ‘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.’ YHVH has a plan and if we do exactly as He tells us in His Word, we can be part of those who inherit eternal life. The alternative is to be completely destroyed, when Elohim wipes out all remembrance of sinners (as per Isaiah 26: 14). Think about it!

[1] Christianity including the Churches of G-d and the Assemblies/Congregation of YHVH, like the Messianic Jews believe they have replaced the house of Judah as Elohim’s chosen people and that they should ‘Christianize’ the world and convert people to their way of interpreting the Scriptures, without realizing that Yahshua came specifically to bring the lost ten tribes back to the faith into which He was born – which is the covenant relationship the house of Israel made with Elohim, together with the house of Judah at Mount Sinai. The Jews remained close to Elohim and those of us whom Elohim is busy calling out of the churches of the world at this time, are like the prodigal son the ones who left the Father, not the house of Judah as these groups unceasingly insinuate.
