Isaiah prophetically magnifies the Holy One’s fiery all consuming judgment that is coming at the end of time against all who rebelled and broke His covenant - The Ten Commandments"
- Isaiah 24:1,3-6 -
Do you know that Yahveh is coming to judge the world in righteousness according to His Ten Commandments and that His judgment ultimately is going to be the consuming fire of righteous indignation that will burn up and destroy this earth, all sin and sinners, and those who have defiantly rebelled and destroyed His creation? The prophets were sent to warn Israel and the nations of the world of the Almighty’s forthcoming fiery judgments against those who break His covenant. In Deuteronomy 4:13 Yahveh declared His covenant was the Ten Commandments, which He commanded them to perform. Isaiah prophetically magnifies the Holy One’s fiery all consuming judgment that is coming at the end of time against all who rebelled and broke His covenant. It is written, “Behold, Yahveh makes the earth empty and makes it waste, distorts its surface and scatters abroad its inhabitants … The land shall be … utterly plundered, For Yahveh has spoken this word. The earth mourns and fades away, … The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant [His Ten Commandments]. Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell in it are desolate. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.” (Isaiah 24:1,3-6)
When Yahveh gave the Ten Commandments He gave them in such fire, because He is a consuming fire. (Exodus 19-20, Deuteronomy 4:24, Hebrews 12:29) He gave the commandments so that His people could learn to walk in holiness before Him and not be subject to His wrath that is coming upon all degenerate rebellious humanity. He gave Israel, as His chosen people, the Commandments that they would learn to choose daily to follow and obey them. He told Israel, “You are My witnesses.” (Isaiah 43:10) She was to share His commandments with the whole world so they would not be under Yahveh’s wrath, but become part of His beloved children who walk in obedience before Him.
Yahshua (Jesus) came to earth, was crucified for our sins, was resurrected from the dead, and sent His Spirit as the promised Helper to lead us into all truth."
- Matthew 27-28, John 14:26, 16:13 -
The message throughout the entire Scriptures magnifies so profoundly Yahveh's requirements: His children have to be holy because “He is holy”. “And without holiness, no one will see Him.” (See Leviticus 19:2, Hebrews 12:14) Therefore, if we continue to live a life in rebellion, whether intentionally or unintentionally, against His commandments, then we are subject as lawless, sinful man who are the objects of His wrath. Yahshua (Jesus) came to earth, was crucified for our sins, was resurrected from the dead, and sent His Spirit as the promised “Helper” to lead us into all truth. (Matthew 27-28, John 14:26, 16:13) He is the Spirit of truth and He will lead us, as we submit to His loving dominion over our lives to help us to walk as Yahshua (Jesus) walked, living a sinless life, which means upholding the Father's commandments in word and deed. As “born-again” “new creations” with Messiah Yahshua’s identity, we learn to walk in complete obedience to His commandments, every one of them. (John 3:3, 2 Corinthians 5:17) He said, “if you break one, you've broken them all.” (James 2:10) Every one of His commandments stands as instruction for the children of Yahveh who love their Father, desire to obey and please Him, and want to be ultimately standing before Him at the judgment seat hearing, “well done good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:21)
As stated, the obedience to His commandments is the standard by which Yahveh will judge this earth. He will send forth His consuming fire to consume the inhabitants of the earth for their rebellion against Him and His everlasting covenant. (Isaiah 24:5-6) Only a little righteous remnant who love Him more than their own lives, will be saved. They have put their lives on the altar continually crucifying their desires and their passions of this world, because their passion is to say, “Yes my Father! Yes my Savior, whatever You say!” “Your will is the desire of my heart!” (Psalm 37:4) His children, as apostle Paul said, “are finding out what pleases the Lord”. (Ephesians 5:10) As obedient children they continually find out what Yahveh desires and do it by the power of His Spirit, because it is “not by their might or power” that they accomplish His will. (See Zechariah 4:6)
Anyone who continues to practice “sin, which is lawlessness”, is breaking the commandments, breaking the Creator of the universe's laws."
- 1 John 3:4 -
By the Holy Spirit’s presence in and through their “crucified”, redeemed, “born again” lives, the Almighty accomplishes His holy will and makes them “instruments” that are praiseworthy in His sight. (Galatians 6:14, John 3:3, Romans 6:13) Yahshua (Jesus) is being exalted in and through their flesh that is crucified, denied, and removed as a stumbling block. He alone is magnified, heard, and manifested in word and deed through them so that others can be drawn to Him and become born-again children in the Father's kingdom. “Therefore, if you know what to do and you don't do it it's sin.” (James 4:17) Anyone who continues to practice “sin, which is lawlessness”, is breaking the commandments, breaking the Creator of the universe's laws. (1 John 3:4) These are the laws that we have to keep at any price, because there's no way around it. Yahveh has called upon heaven and earth to witness the choice between life and death that He has placed before us in His word. (See Deuteronomy 30:19) His witnesses, heaven and earth, are going to testify against every rebel who goes their own way. If anyone believes they are doing something even for Jesus, if it's contrary to the commandments they're doing it for themselves and they are under the judgment of all lawbreakers.
Be careful what you lust for and after, because it is a shovel in the spirit digging a hole that you will not get out of.”
- See Numbers 11:34 -
Yahveh says, “I sent My prophets to you, to speak My very words. They spoke and they spoke, and their words are recorded throughout the Scripture. But you didn't want to hear the words that I spoke and proclaimed through my mouthpieces, because what you desired was not Me. What you desired was what pleased your flesh and satisfied your appetites and carnal desires, and like the Israelites, they got what they wanted. So much of Christianity, so many professing believers, they get what they want, but Yahveh says, with it comes the leanness of soul. As it is written, "Yahveh gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul,"(Psalm 106:15) Your soul is anorexic. It has been on a spiritual starvation diet for truly hearing and obeying the words of Yahveh, who said, “if you listen to My voice and obey My commandments, you will live.” (Jeremiah 7:23) The Almighty (in essence) says, “because of your cravings and superficial lip service, acknowledging Me as your Lord and Savior, but pursuing the things that your flesh desires in a world under My judgment, you are digging as the Israelites who ended up receiving what they craved.” But Yahveh allowed them to be destroyed and we read the destruction was so great that they basically dug for themselves their own graves. Those graves were called Kibroth Hattaavah - Graves of Cravings. (See Numbers 11:34) So be careful what you lust for and after, because it is a shovel in the spirit digging a hole that you will not get out of. If you spend your life in the flesh desiring the things of the world, by satisfying your cravings like the Israelites, there'll be a monument of Yahveh's judgment of those who did not desire Him more than everything. They did not follow Yahshua's mandates, to obey Yahveh's commandments, to follow Him by denying yourself and being crucified daily to the things of this world. (See Matthew 16:24, Mark 8:34 and Luke 9:23)
How are you walking and what kind of theology are you following?"
So, it is time to repent, let us carefully go over the commandments, repenting for each one we have broken. As Yahshua said, if you repent and are covered in His cleansing blood, now “go and sin no more.” (John 8:11) As previously stated You need to be “born again” and have the power of the Holy Spirit (John 3:3, 14:16-17, 26, Romans 8:4, Galatians 5:18), because there's no way anyone can uphold the commandments apart from Him. Our Savior walked blamelessly upholding the commandments, because He had the Father’s Spirit. The Father in Him, He in His Father, and we in Him, and therefore we in the Father. (John 14:20) If we are isolated from Him and the Father, we are still in the flesh, instead of in Yahshua (Jesus) and therefore in the Father. As Yahshua is one with Him, we are to be one with them.
How are you walking and what kind of theology are you following? Is it the true Savior and the true gospel message that brings the truth as the Father proclaimed through His covenant commandments, which are the standards we're going to be judged by? This message is for people who really want to get serious with Yahveh (the LORD), who finally sit down and “count the cost”, with the fear of Yahveh coming upon them, knowing how they are going to be judged. (Luke 14:28-30) They are humbly crying out in repentance for all the compromised places in their heart and mind they still passionately long for that will testify against them, because they're not of, by, and for the Spirit and the glory of the Father and the Son.
The majority of people, including many “professing Christians”, have cast Yahveh's commandments down on the ground trampling them under their wayward feet, as they go the direction that their flesh leads them and the direction that a counterfeit gospel message endorses.”
Anything that is not for Yahveh’s glory is from the flesh and the glory goes to Satan who was the father of the flesh nature. That's why Yahshua (Jesus) said, “your father is the devil.” (John 8:44) “You must be born again” because “flesh and blood does not enter the Kingdom” it is “under the wrath of God”. (John 3:3, 1 Corinthians 15:50, Ephesians 2:3) We must have Yahveh as our Father and He only has holy “born again children” (John 3:3) who are filled with His firstborn holy Son Yahshua (Jesus) living in them. Our Savior is the One our Father sees and also the fruit that His Spirit in them produces, which is holy fruit that glorifies the Father. (Galatians 5:22-23, Colossians 3:17) So, if you're veering to the right and left you're falling off course, you're not following the true Yahshua (Jesus) and you've gone off in some deception on a “broad path” following other people and most importantly you've got to understand you're following your flesh and its own inclinations, which are doomed to the wrath of Yahveh. (See Matthew 7:13, John 3:36) The same God who gave the Commandments and appeared as a consuming fire on top of Mount Sinai, causing terror in the hearts of the Israelites, that same fire is going to burn the earth and all sinners on earth into the eternal flames of hell. Yahveh is a consuming fire and He consumes His enemies. The ultimate consumption is the fires that never cease that many will endure eternally, because they would not receive Yahshua (Jesus) and His gift of salvation to walk in obedience to His commandments. This is a picture of the mercy of Yahveh and the wrath of Yahveh based on people breaking His covenant and trampling underfoot Messiah’s merciful blood thus outraging the Spirit of grace that came to help them uphold righteousness. (See Hebrews 10:29)
May the fear of Yahveh turn you to wisdom. (Proverbs 9:10) We cannot take lightly His covenant, Yahshua, the Son of Yahveh, is the Living Word. (John 1:14) He is the Ten Commandments that He lived through His sinless life, teaching us how to walk by the power of His Spirit. So if we take lightly this great salvation it is because we are breaking His commandments. It is written, “Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness [the breaking of His commandments]. And you know that He [Yahshua/Jesus] was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.” (1John 3:3-4) Yahveh says, “watch yourselves carefully”, that you set your heart to honor and obey all My commandments so that you might live in My kingdom forever in My presence. (See Deuteronomy 4:9) The majority of people, including many “professing Christians”, have cast Yahveh's commandments down on the ground trampling them under their wayward feet, as they go the direction that their flesh leads them and the direction that a counterfeit gospel message endorses. They are going to end up under the same judgment. It’s only those who love Him as Yahshua (Jesus) said, “If you love Me, you will obey My commandments and my commandments are not burdensome.” (John 14:15)
We are without excuse when the Holy Spirit lives in us. If we continue to intentionally sin after coming to a knowledge of the truth we know that there is nothing left but a fearful expectation of judgment to come and the fire that is going to consume the earth because we have trampled underfoot the blood of the covenant. (See Hebrews 10:26-29) The covenant that Yahshua (Jesus) made with us is a covenant we can keep through His Holy Spirit and be found as He was, a sinless child of the Living God, who brings others into the Kingdom, filling His Father’s house with holy children.
This message is coming from Yahveh’s overflowing heart of love that you not be under His overflowing vengeance and recompense.”
Many people will continue on their reckless paths, but for those who are drawn by His love, “the fear of Yahveh will give them the wisdom” to flee from their flesh and the world towards the One they are to love more than life itself. (See Proverbs 9:10) We are to “love Yahveh our God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength and our neighbor as ourselves.” (Mark 12:30) So love prevails, love wins out! When you're truly “born again” and have the love of the Father, it's a reciprocal love that can only come from the indwelling Holy Spirit “who sheds His love abroad in our hearts”, first and foremost for our Father, our Savior, and for others. (Romans 5:5) If we're not filled with Him, there is no love, it can only become a humanitarian work that becomes idolatrous, as people boast in their loving actions towards others. If it's not done by the Spirit of Yahshua (Jesus) in and through us, it does not count as a holy act of omnipotent love.
As Yahveh’s consuming fire came with the commandments, so it will come again at the end of the age. It is vital that we hear what the Spirit is saying! We are told to judge ourselves and keep an eye on our flesh so that we are not lead by its unruly lawless nature. Remember, only His Spirit who leads us into all truth to obey His commandments will cause us to be victorious to the end and be found pure, spotless, and holy in Yahveh’s sight. HalleluYAH!
Prayer
My God and Savior, I am humbled before You. I hear Your voice speaking to me like a loud trumpet/shofar, piercing my heart with conviction of sin and the reverential fear of Your all mighty power and holiness. You are opening up my ears to hear what Your Spirit is saying, warning me not to take lightly my salvation because judgment is coming upon all those who do not obey Your holy commandments and biblical mandates. You are a covenant keeping God, forgive me for breaking covenant with You, by breaking and not obeying all of Your righteous standards and Commandments.
Yahshua (Jesus) I know that Your Spirit is urging me to get very serious regarding my walk with You. You are shaking and waking me up to the reality that there is very little time left before Your final judgments fall on all sin and sinners, regardless, if they are professing believers or not. I don’t want to be like the hypocritical lukewarm, who confess You with their lips but their heart is craving the things of this world to satisfy their flesh. Forgive me for the times that I take my heart and eyes off You and do crave the pleasures of this world that is under judgment. I repent, please forgive and cleanse me in Your blood and fill me afresh with Your Spirit that I will have the power and grace to uphold Your righteous holy Word and commandments. I want to be found pleasing in Your sight when I appear before You at the judgment seat. In the Scripture, You speak of the difficult times that are coming in the end days and that it will require great endurance and perseverance on the part of Your faithful ones who “keep the Commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Yahshua (Jesus)”. Please help me to be strong, courageous, and faithful when I personally suffer persecution for holding fast my testimony of You and Your commandments. I pray that You will help me, at any cost, to “deny my flesh and wholeheartedly follow You.” Holy Spirit, I ask for Your help and power to be found obedient, holy, and faithful to the end. I want to be part of that righteous remnant who hears that last great shofar when You call Your beloved home into the kingdom of heaven, where we will rejoice eternally as one with You, our King of kings. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayers, Amen.
