THROUGH THE FIRE
“Woe to them that draw sins to them as with a long rope, and
iniquities as with a thong of the heifer’s yoke:
Who
say, Let him speedily hasten what he will do, that
we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One
of Israel come, that we may know it.
Woe
to them that call evil good, and good evil; who make
darkness light, and light darkness; who make bitter
sweet, and sweet bitter.
Woe to
them that are wise in their own conceit, and knowing
in their own sight.
Woe to
the strong ones of you that drink wine, and the
mighty ones that mingle strong drink:
Who
justify the ungodly for rewards, and take away the
righteousness of the righteous.
Therefore as stubble shall be burnt by a coal of
fire, and shall be consumed by a violent flame,
their root shall be as chaff, and their flower shall
go up as dust: for they rejected the law of the Lord
of hosts, and insulted the word of the Holy One of
Israel.”
(Isaiah 5:18-24, LXX)
It
definitely appears as if the world has gone mad.
As a result, many people confused, overwhelmed, and filled to
overflowing with grief,
and depression may be asking:
If God is love, why is He allowing all of this to
happen?
Why are the innocent suffering?
Why are bad things happening to good people?
Can the Word of God
give us any answers? Yes, it can.

HE WHO ENDURES TO THE END
Part 1
Endurance
So much is happening so
fast it is virtually impossible to keep up with it
all. Anxiety and depression are plaguing millions
while it seems faith and hope are diminishing with
each passing day.
Our world and everything we
held to be true before 2020 has flipped and we are
in an upside down world. A world filled with death,
doubts and no sure footing. And, if we are in the
days Christ warned us about then what did He mean by
“He that shall endure
unto the end, the same shall be saved”?
How can we endure in a world turned upside down,
where evil is good and good is evil? Where chaos is
the order of the day and peace is defined by those
who cause the chaos.
We are in the days when a
choice must be made. Either you will follow Christ
or the world. The strait gate and the narrow way or
the broad way to destruction.
At times, the narrow way may
seem to be the wrong path, especially if we continue
to look back at what we thought we had. The days of
plenty, worldly security and abundance may soon be a
thing of the past. Who, or what, will we rely on
then; ourselves, our families, our jobs, our nation,
our leaders, or Christ?
If you choose Christ, holding
fast to Him and our Heavenly Father, then prepare
yourself to take up your cross and follow Him, if
you have not done so already.
This will definitely be the
road less traveled. However, if we have faith and
believe in Christ, it will be well worth it.

REMEMBER
THE
SABBATH DAY
Out of the Ten Commandments the Sabbath seems to be
the most reviled by vast numbers of Christians.
And they back up their claims with a short list of
Bible verses to show that Christians are not
required to keep the Sabbath. And of course, most of
their beliefs are derived from the epistles of Paul.
But be that as it may; the question is, are their
claims true?
What's more:
What is it about this one commandment that causes so
many to strike out against it?
Is it a result of what they were raised to believe?
Is it a result of false teachings?
Or perhaps ignorance of the Word due to little or no
time spent in the Word of God?
Or maybe it’s because there are other things they
would rather do on Sabbath
(Saturday)?
Or could it just boil down to rebellion in their
hearts against YAH?
Well, whatever the case may be, only YAH knows their
heart. And as a result, we will leave the answers to
those questions in YAH’s hands.
Instead, in this Study we will look into the Holy
Bible and see if their claims for not keeping the
Sabbath align with the Word of YAH.
I would like to say that I am unbiased on this
subject. But that would not be true. After all, the
day I view as a blessing many consider “bondage.” So
please pray and ask for guidance as we proceed
through this study. Seek for truth and let the Holy
Spirit be your guide into all truth.
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is
come, he will guide you into all truth: for
he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he
shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will
shew you things to come.”
(John
16:13, KJV)

WILL YOUR
HOUSE STAND?
Part
5
How Will You
Build Your House?
“Therefore
whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth
them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built
his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and
the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon
that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon
a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of
mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a
foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the
winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell:
and great was the fall of it.”
(Matthew 7:24-27)
Matthew 5:1-2 tell us that Christ went up to the
mountain and when He was seated His disciples came
to Him and He taught them.
“And
seeing the multitudes,
he went up into a mountain: and when he was set,
his disciples came unto him: And he opened his
mouth, and taught them, saying,”
(Matthew 5:1-2, KJV)
However, in Matthew 7:28-29 we are told that the
“people” were astonished at His teachings.
“And
it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings,
the people
were astonished at his doctrine: For he
taught them as one having authority, and not
as the scribes.”
(Matthew 7:28-29, KJV)
So, it
appears that at some point the “people” joined
Christ and His disciples on the mountain.
And if
so, could it be that at that time Christ spoke to
them in parables?
The
Word tells us that Christ spoke to His disciples in
plain language; but to the people/multitudes He
always spoke in parables.
So all
things considered, Matthew 7:24-27 could very well
be a parable.
And if
so, could there be a deeper meaning, or message,
behind this passage for us to search out?
I
believe the answer is yes.
And if
you agree, let us see what Christ would have us
learn.

AN EXAMINATION OF
ROMANS 13:1-7
The following Bible study was
first published in October 2016. However, because of
the alleged covid-19 “pandemic” and the push for a
vaccine, that may prove to be the mark of the beast
spoken of in the book of Revelation;
this Bible Study is more relevant for the times we
are now in.
There are numerous articles and videos concerning
the vaccine that lay out the gruesome details as to
what is expected to be in the vaccine; and how it
may affect you as an individual.
Following
are links to videos that will help you stay
informed.

However, to make matters worse, there is a growing
list of “church leaders" who are telling their
congregations that Christians should take the
vaccine. And many are using Romans 13 to make their
case why they should follow the government mandates.
Following is a link to one
article:
*
2,700 evangelicals warn against politicizing
coronavirus, urge Christians to take vaccine
False prophets and
false teachers are trying to set us up for an
eternal fall.
And for this reason, I hope you will take the time
to read this Bible Study.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is my understanding that various “church leaders”
and “televangelists” are preaching submission to the
“governing authorities.” They are using Romans 13 as
their Biblical proof text to bring unsuspecting
Christians into line to kowtow to whatever laws the
government decrees. Why? Because these “church
leaders” and “televangelists” have a personal
interest in maintaining the status quo.
Most
Christians have absolute faith in their “church
leaders.” Some even refer to that person as their
man or woman of God. Whatever they say goes, and
most congregants never bother to check either the
accuracy or the motivation behind their words.
To
add fuel to the fire, many modern English
translations of the Holy Bible have replaced the
“higher powers,” in Romans 13:1 of the King James
Version (KJV), to “governing authorities,” “state
government” or just “governments” in general. As a
result, I truly believe a number of well-meaning
Christians will take their favorite Bible
translation at face value, along with the words from
their trusted “church leader” or “televangelist," and
be deceived by those who are not so well-meaning.
However,
instead of us focusing on the government, the church
leaders or the various translations, I propose that
we examine Romans 13 for ourselves to ensure that we
are doing what is Biblically required of us. When we
are armed with truth, we cannot be deceived.

WILL YOUR
HOUSE STAND?
Part
4
He That Does the
Will of My Father
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of
the morning! how art thou cut down to the
ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend
into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars
of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation, in the sides of the north:
14
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I
will be like the most High.
15
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides
of the pit.
16
They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee,
and consider thee, saying, Is this the
man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake
kingdoms;”
(Isaiah 14:12-16,KJV)
Lucifer places his will above the will of YAH. He
wants to be greater than his creator. And because of
his pride and arrogance he fell. And at the end of
this age, he will be cast into the lake of fire.
“Now the serpent was more subtle than
any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.
And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye
shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of
the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the
midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat
of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not
surely die:
5
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof,
then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as
gods, knowing good and evil.
6
And when the woman saw that the tree was
good for food, and that it was pleasant to
the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one
wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat,
and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did
eat.”
(Genesis
3:1-6, KJV)
Eve believed the serpent and as a result, Adam and
Eve ate of the fruit of the Tree YAH told them not
to because if they did, they would surely die. And
because they trusted the serpent more than their
creator; they placed their will above the will of
YAH and ate of the tree YAH told them not to, and
they fell. And as a result, so have we. And at the
end of this age, most will be cast into the lake of
fire.
And today, instead of YAH’s “do unto others as you
would have them do unto you”; many prefer Aleister
Crowley’s belief that “do what thou wilt shall be
the whole of the law.” So fallen man continues to
place his will above the will of YAH. Bowing his
will only to the lust of his flesh, the lust of his
eyes and the pride of life. And it is such as these
who will join Satan in the lake of fire.
But, in His mercy, Almighty God sent His beloved Son
to redeem us back to Himself and deliver us not only
from such an end; but also from ourselves. But most
will choose not to listen. Will you?
In Part 4 Christ will instruct us about the will of
YAH (God). And the end result of those who
choose their will over YAH’s.
In the book of Hebrews we are told:
“Therefore we ought to give the more
earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest
at any time we should let them slip.
2
For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and
every transgression and disobedience received a just
recompence of reward;
3
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great
salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by
the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that
heard him;”
(Hebrews
2:1-3, KJV)
You may not consider this a sunshine and lollipop
message; but it is one we need to hear. And if you
agree, let us begin Part 4.
