Praised Be El Shaddai, our Father,
In His Son Yeshua HaMashiach.
Once
Saved, Always Saved?
Salvation, or
The Book of Conditions.
Yeshua Shalom.
There are some Popular (Luke 16:15) trends in modern religion that need to be Undone lest of Faith be in Vain (Matt.15:8,9), one of the many is the ìPipe Dreamî called ìOnce Saved, always Saved.î Let us therefore see what The Lord (John 1:1-3, 14) Actually Says:
For El Shaddai so Loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever Believeth (to entrust (esp. oneís Spiritual Wellbeing), from 4102: to have firm conviction in the Truth of Adown, assurance #4100) in Him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be Savedî (Jhn.3:16).
For El Shaddai, who is Rich in Mercy, for His Great Love wherewith He loved us, even when we were Dead in Sins, hath quickened (made Alive) us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;), and has (hath) Raised Us up together, and Made us sit Together in Heavenly Places in Christ Yeshua. That in the ages to come he might show the ExceedingRiches of His Grace in His Kindness toward us through Christ Yeshua. For by Grace are ye Saved through Faith; and that Not of yourselves: but as the Gift of El Shaddai: Not of Works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created In Christ Yeshua unto Good Works, which God hath before Ordained that we should Walk in them (Eph.2:4-10).
For now the Righteousness of El Shaddai without the law is manifested, being witnessed (testified of) by The Law and the Prophets (the Jews); even the Righteousness of El Shaddai which is by Faith in Yeshua The Christ unto all and upon all them that Believe: for there is no difference. For All have Sinned, and Come Short of the Glory of El Shaddai. ìYet nowî Justified Freely (Forgiven, not Rationalized) by His Grace through the Redemption that is in Christ Yeshua: whom El Shaddai hath set forth to be a Propitiation through Faith in His Blood (Col.2:12), to declare His Righteousness for the Remission of Sins that are Past (2Pet.1:9), through the Forbearance of El Shaddai.
To declare, I say, at this time His Righteousness: that He might Be Just, and the Justifier of him which believes in Yeshua. Where is Boasting then? It is Excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the Law Of Faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is Justified by Faith Without the Deeds of the law. Is He the Adown (exclusively applied to YHWH, Proprietor, Master, Ruler, Father and Mighty #113) of the Jews only? Is He not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing there is ONE Adown, Who shall Justify the circumcision by Faith, and uncircumcision Through Faith. Do we then make void The Law through Faith? El Shaddai forbid: yea, we Establish The Law (Rom.3:20-31).
This is Beginning of a Beautiful Love Story
Grace be to you, and Peace, from El Shaddai our Father, and from the Lord Yeshua Christ. Blessed be the Adonay and Father of our Lord Yeshua The Christ, Who hath Blessed us with all Spiritual Blessings in Heavenly Places in Christ: according as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that We should Be Holy and Without Blame before Him in Love: having Predestinated us unto the Adoption of Children by Yeshua The Christ to Himself, according to the Good Pleasure of His Will, to the Praise of the Glory of His Grace, wherein He hath Made us Accepted in the Beloved. In whom we have Redemption through His Blood, the Forgiveness of Sins, according to the Riches of His Grace; wherein He hath Abounded toward us in all Wisdom and Prudence; having made known unto us the Mystery of His Will (Eph.5:17), according to His Good Pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself: that in the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him: in Whom also we have obtained an Inheritance, being Predestinated according to the Purpose of Him who works all things after the Counsel of His own Will: that we should be to the Praise of His Glory, who First Trusted in Christ (Eph.1:2-12).
Elect according to the foreknowledge of El Shaddai the Father, through Sanctification of The Spirit, unto Obedience and Sprinkling of the Blood of Yeshua The Christ: Grace unto you, and Peace, be multiplied. Blessed be the El Shaddai and Father of our Lord Yeshua The Christ, Who according to his Abundant Mercy hath begotten us again unto a Lively Hope by the Resurrection of Yeshua The Christ from the dead, into an inheritance Incorruptible, and Undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you, who are Kept by the Power of El Shaddai through Faith unto Salvation ready to be Revealed in the Last Time (1Pet.1:2-5).
For whosoever shall call upon the Name (Ps.138:2) of the Lord shall be Saved. How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not Believed? And how shall they Believe in Him of whom they have not Heard? And how shall they Hear without a Preacher? And how shall they Preach (2Tim.2:15,16), except they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that Preach the Gospel of Peace, and bring Glad Tidings of Good Things! But they have Not all Obeyed the Gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then Faith comes by Hearing, and Hearing by The Word of El Shaddai (Acts 15:7-9). But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made Manifest unto them that asked not after Me. But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a Disobedient and Gainsaying people (Rom.10:13-21). For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one Inwardly; and Circumcision is that of the Heart, in The Spirit, and not in the letter; whose Praise is Not of Men, but of ADONAY (Rom.2:28,29).
I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for He (Jhn.1:14) Is the power of El Shaddai unto Salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For herein is the Righteousness of El Shaddai revealed from Faith to Faith: as it is written, The Just shall Live by Faith (Rom.1:16,17; Hab.2:4; Heb.10:38). For El Shaddai hath not given us the spirit of Fear; but of Power, and of Love, and of a Sound Mind. Be Not thou therefore Ashamed of the Testimony of our Lord, nor of me His servant: but be thou Partaker of the Afflictions of the Gospel according to the Power of El Shaddai; Who hath Saved us, and Called us with an Holy Calling, Not according to our Works, but according to His own Purpose and Grace, which was given us in Christ Yeshua before the world began, But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Yeshua The Christ, who hath Abolished Death, and hath brought Life and Immortality to light through the Gospel: Whereunto I am Appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles (2tim.1:7-11).
This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the Works of the law, or by the Hearing of Faith? Are ye so foolish? Having Begun in The Spirit, are ye now made Perfect by the Flesh? Have ye suffered so many things in vain? If it be yet in vain. He therefore that ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, does he do so by the works of the law, or by the Hearing of Faith? Even as Abrahr-am believed Adonay, and it was accounted to him for Righteousness. Know ye therefore that they who are of Faith, the same are the Children of Abrahr-am. And the Scripture, foreseeing that El Shaddai would Justify (pronounce guiltless) the heathen through Faith, preached before the Gospel unto Abrahr-am, saying, In thee shall all nations be Blessed. So then they which be of Faith are blessed with Faithful Abrahr-am. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them (Gal.3:2-10).
For the Promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abrahr-am, or to his seed, through the law, but through the Righteousness of Faith. For if they which are of the law be heirs, Faith is made void, and the Promise made of none effect: Because the law works wrath: for where no law is, there is no Transgression. Therefore it is of Faith, that it might be by Grace; to the end the Promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the Faith of Abrahr-am; who is the father of us all (Rom.4:13-16). Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you seek to be Justified by the law; ye are fallen from Grace. For we through The Spirit (Jhn.6:63; Eph.6:17) wait for the hope of Righteousness by Faith. For in Yeshua The Christ neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision; but Faith which Works by Love (Gal.5:4-6). For we are the circumcision (Col.2:11), who worship El Shaddai in The Spirit, and Rejoice in Christ Yeshua, and have No Confidence in the Flesh (Phil.3:3).
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Yeshua unto Good Works, that El Shaddai has before Ordained that we should Walk in them (Phil.1:6). Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles (unbelievers) In The Flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being alienated from the Commonwealth of Yisrael, and Strangers from the Covenants of Promise, having no hope, and without Adonay in the world: But now in Christ Yeshua ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the Blood of Christ (Eph.2:10-13). And He is the Head of the Body, The Church: who is the beginning, the Firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the Preeminence. For the Father is Pleased that in Him should all Fullness Dwell (Col.2:9); And, having made Peace through the Blood of His Cross, by Him to Reconcile all things unto Himself (2Cor.5:18-20); by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime Alienated and Enemies in your Mind by Wicked Works, yet now hath he Reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you Holy and Unblamable and Unreproveable in his sight: IF ye Continue (Jhn.8:31,32) in the Faith Grounded and Settled, and be Not moved away from the Hope of the Gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a ministerÝ(Col.1:18-23). Even as the Testimony of Christ was confirmed in you (By Faith): So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Yeshua The Christ: Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Yeshua The Christ. Adonay is Faithful, by Whom ye were called unto the Fellowship of His Son Yeshua The Christ our Lord (1Cor.1:6-9).
I have therefore whereof I may glory through Yeshua The Christ in those things which pertain to El Shaddai (Rom15:17). But Adonay forbid that I should Glory, save in The Cross of our Lord Yeshua The Christ, by Whom the world is Crucified unto me, and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a NEW CREATURE. And as many as Walk according to this Rule, Peace be on them, and Mercy, and upon the Yisrael of El Shaddai (Gal.6:14-16).
For...
As many as Received Him, to them gave He Authority to become the Sons of God, even to them that Believe on his Name: Who were Born, not of blood, Nor of the Will of the Flesh, Nor of the Will of Man, but of ADONAYî (Jhn.1:12,13). For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, El Shaddai sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and on account of (for) sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the Righteousness of The Law (Righteous Requirements of The Law; NASB) might (to be of Power #1410) be made Manifest (fulfilled, shown, made Alive in us #4137) in us, Who Walk Not after the Flesh (things of the world; 2Cor.10:1-5), but after The Spirit (Rom.8:3,4).
However,
Love is a Two Way street, and there are Conditions.
Then said Yeshua to those Jews who Believed on Him, IF ye Continue (to endure, to stay in Relationship,, to remain [1Jhn.3:9; Jms.3:2], to make Oneís own #3306) in My Word (Jhn.1:14), then are ye My Disciples In Deed (Acts.11:26; Matt.12:50; Luke 6:46; Jhn.15:14); And ye shall Know the Truth, and The Truth shall Make you Free (Is.30:15; 32:17; 42:24; 48:18; 51:4; 57:17; 65:1,2; Jer.6:16). They answered him, We be Abrahamís seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Yeshua answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever Commits Sin is the Slave of Sin (1Jhn.3:4-8). And the servant abides not in the house for ever: but the Son abides ever. If the Son therefore shall make you Free, Ye shall Be Free indeed (Jhn.8:31,32).
There is unfortunately not enough emphasis being placed on the Word Continue (courtesy of an unknown author). Our Faith is going to be Tried, and If we donít ìContinueî In The Word, in spite of circumstance, or public opinion, we then fall away or backslide: ìNow the just shall live by Faith: but if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him (2Chro.15:2). But we are Not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe ìOnwardî (Phil.3:13) to the Saving of the Soulî (Heb.10:38,39). Thus the Admonition to: ìStudy to show yourselves approved to El Shaddaiî (2Tim.2:15), takes on a greater Relevance, to be able to Know Whom we have Faith in.
For: As also in all His Epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are Unlearned and Unstable twist (1Tim.6:5-10), as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their Own Destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye Know these things before, Beware lest ye also, being Led Away with the Error of the Wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. But Grow in Grace, and in the Knowledge of our Lord and Savior Yeshua HaMashiach. To Him be Glory both now and for ever. Amenî (2Pet.3:16-18). That ye be not Slothful, but Followers of them who through Faith and Patience inherit the Promises (Heb.6:12).
For ye have Not Received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of Adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then Heirs; heirs of El Shaddai, and Joint-Heirs with Christ; IF so be that we Suffer with Him, that we may be also Glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the Glory which shall be Revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the Manifestation of the Sons Of El Shaddai. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who hath subjected the same in Hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the Glorious Liberty of the Children of Adonay (Rom.8:15-21).
Now the Lord is The Spirit: (Jhn.6:63; Eph.6:17) and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty (2Cor.3:17). Brethren, ye have been called unto Liberty; only use not Liberty for an Occasion to the Flesh, but by Love Serve one another. For all The Law is fulfilled in one word, even in this;
Thou shalt Love thy Neighbor as Thyself.
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. This I say then, Walk in The Spirit, and ye shall Not Fulfil the Lust of the Flesh. For the flesh wars against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are Contrary the one to the other: so that Ye cannot Do the things that ye would. But IF ye be Led of The Spirit, ye are Not under The Law (Gal.5:13-18). For the Grace of Adonay that brings Salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, Denying (Refusing) Ungodliness and Worldly Lusts, we should live Soberly (Level Headed #4996), Righteously, and Godly, In this Present World; Looking for that blessed hope, and the Glorious appearing of the Great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave Himself for us, that He might Redeem us From all Iniquity, and Purify unto Himself a Peculiar People, Zealous of Good Works. These things Speak, and Exhort, and Rebuke with all Authority. Let no man despise thee (Tit.2:11-15).
Let this therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. IF that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain (continue) in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the Promise that He hath Promised us, even Eternal Life (1Jhn2:24,25).
For I speak to you Gentiles,
inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify Mine Office:
If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and
might save some of them. For if the casting away of them be the reconciling
of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
For if the Frstfruit be Holy,
the lump is also Holy: and if the root be Holy, so are the
Branches. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being
a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them
partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, remember that
you do Not Bear the Root, but the Root Thee. Thou wilt say then,
The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. Well; because
of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by Faith.
Be
Not High-minded, but Fear:
For If God Spared Not the Natural branches, take heed lest He also spare Not Thee. Behold therefore the Goodness and Severity of El Shaddai: on them which fell, Severity; but toward thee, Goodness, IF thou Continue in His Goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be Cut Off (Rom.11:13-22).
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel Whom I preached unto you, which also ye have Received, and Wherein ye Stand; By Whom (Jhn.1:14) also ye are Saved, IF ye ìTake to Heartî (keep in memory: Deut.4:29,39,40; 6:5 (Mrk.12:30); 11:13-18; 26:16: 30:14; 1Sam.12:24 (Jhn4:24); Is.29:13; Jer.12:11; Hos.7:9) what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also Received (1Cor.15::1-3a). But Exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be Hardened through the Deceitfulness of Sin. For we are made Partakers of Christ (Eph.4:20-24), IF we Hold the Beginning of our Confidence Steadfast unto the End (Heb.3:13,14; Matt.10:22; 24:13; Mrk.13:13).
And above all these things put on Charity (Love), which is the Bond of Perfectness. And let the Peace of God Rule IN your Hearts, to which also ye are Called in One Body (The Church, not many denominations); and Be ye Thankful. Let The Word of Christ dwell in you Richly in all Wisdom; Teaching and Admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and Spiritual Songs, singing with Grace in your Hearts to the Lord (Col.3:14-16). Being Born Again, not of corruptible seed, but of Incorruptible, by The Word of El Shaddai, Who Lives and Abides for ever (1Pet.1:23). Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy Growth (profiting) may appear to all. Take Heed unto Thyself, and unto THE DOCTRINE; continue in them: for In Doing this thou shalt both Save thyself, and them that hear thee (1Tim.4:15,16).
For this is the Love of Adonay, that we Keep His Commandments: and His Commandments are Not Grievous (Ps.19:7-9). For whomsoever is Born of El Shaddai Overcomes the World: and this is the Victory that Overcomes the World, even our Faith (THE WORD: ìThe Christ (Jhn.1:14) In us The Hope of Gloryî: Col.1:27). Who is he that Overcomes (To rise above, to live with our "head in the clouds": Col.3:1-3) the World, but he that believes that Yeshua is the Son of Adonay? (1Jhn.5:3-5). To him that Overcomes will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, Even As I also Overcame, and am set down with My Father in His Throne. He that hath an ear, let him Hear what the Spirit saith unto The Churches (Rev.3:21,22).
Enter ye in at the Strait
gate:
for WIDE is the gate, and BROAD is the
way
(Anything Goes, everybody goes, everybody is doing it),
that leadeth to Destruction,
and MANY there be which go in thereat:
Because STRAIT is the gate, and
NARROW is ìTHE WAYî (Jhn.14:6),
which leadeth unto LIFE, and FEW
there be that Find it.
Beware
of False prophets, which come to you in Sheepís clothing,
but Inwardly they are Ravening wolves. Ye shall know them
by their Fruits. Do men Gather Grapes of Thorns, or Figs
of Thistles?
Even so every good tree
bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth
evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree
that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. But when he saw Many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O Generation of Vipers, who hath Warned you to Flee from the Wrath to come?
Bring Forth therefore Fruits meet (Worthy of) for REPENTANCE (not Redundancy, and other ìRe-runsî): And think Not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is Able of these Stones to Raise Up Children unto Abraham (Matt. 3:5-9)
Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth (Jms.1:22) The Will of My Father (Eph.5:17) Who is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy Name? and in Thy Name have cast out devils? and in Thy Name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I Never Knew you: depart from me, ye that workINIQUITY (violation of the Laws of The Lord, Wickedness, Un-right-use-ness, Lawlessness, Strong's #458).
Thou shalt Not take The Name of the LORD thy Adown in Vain; for the LORD will Not hold him Guiltless that taketh His Name in Vain (Ex.20:7). I will worship toward Thy Holy Temple, and Praise Thy Name for Thy Lovingkindness and for Thy Truth: for Thou hast Magnified Thy Word (Jhn.1:14) Above (Phil.2:9-11) all Thy Name (Ps.138:20).
Wherefore Adonay (God our Proprietor, emphatic form of Adown, reserved to The Lord, as the Proper Name of YHWH #136). also hath Highly Exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is Above every name: That at The Name of Jesus Every knee should Bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every Tongue should Confess thatYeshua The Christ Is Lord, to the Glory of Adonay the Father.
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always Obeyed (The Word), not as in my presence only, but now much More in my absence, Work Out (Heb. 4:11; see ìThe Rest of The Lordî by this author) your OwnSalvation (Not Presume "to have attained") with REVERENCE (Fear #5399,5401,2124,2125) and Trembling (Phil. 2:9-12).
Therefore whosoever
HEARETH these sayings of Mine, and Doeth them (Jms.1:22),
I will liken him unto a Wise man, who 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 (do they Not believe?),
shall be likened unto a Foolish man, who 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.
Therefore say I unto you, The Kingdom Of Adonay shall be taken From you, and Given to a People (Nation) Bringing Forth The Fruits Thereof (Matt. 21:43).
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 (Matt. 7:13-29).
Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto Me with their mouth, and honoureth Me with their lips; but their heart is far from Me.
But in Vain they do worship
Me,
teaching for DOCTRINE the commandments of men.
And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man (Matt. 15:7-11).
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
IF (not a grant) ye continue in My Word,
then are ye my Disciples In-Deed;
And ye shall know the Truth,
and the Truth shall make you Free.They answered him, We be Abrahamís seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you FREE, ye shall be FREE (FROM SIN) indeed (John 8:31-36).
He answered
and said unto them, He that soweth the Good Seed is the Son Of
Man; The field is the world; the Good Seed are the Children
of The Kingdom; but the Tares are the children of the Wicked
one; The Enemy that Sowed them is the Devil; the Harvest is The
End of the world; and the Reapers are the Angels. As therefore
the Tares are Gathered and Burned in the Fire; so shall
it be in The End of this world.
The Son Of Man shall
send forth His angels, and they shall Gather Out of His Kingdom
ALL things that Offend (Violate His Word), and them which Do
Iniquity; And shall cast them into a Furnace of Fire: there
shall be Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth (Matt. 13:37-42).
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common Salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and Exhort you that ye should EarnestlyContend for the Faith which was once delivered unto the Saints. For there are certain men crept in Secretly (unaware), who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the GRACE of our God into lasciviousness, and Denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ (Jude V.3,4).
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you (do they not Believe?), who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And MANY shall follow their Pernicious ways; by reason of whom "The Way"(Jhn.14:6) of TRUTH shall be evil spoken of. And through Covetousness shall they with Feigned words make Merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not (2Pet. 2:1-3).
Therefore I thought it necessary to Exhort the brethren, that they
would go before unto you, and make up Beforehand your Bounty, whereof
ye had Notice before, that the same Might be Ready, as a matter
of Bounty, and Not as of Covetousness.
But this I say, He
who Soweth Sparingly shall Reap also Sparingly;
and he who Soweth Bountifully shall Reap also Bountifully.
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him Give;
Not Grudgingly, or of necessity: for Adonay loveth a Cheerful
Giver.
And El Shaddai is
able to make all Grace abound toward you; that ye, always
having all Sufficiency in all things, may Abound to every GOOD
WORK: As it is written, He hath Dispersed abroad; he hath
Given to the Poor: His Righteousness remaineth for ever.
Now HE that Ministereth Seed (The Word: Matt.23:37-42) to the Sower
both minister Bread for your Food, and Multiply
your Seed (The Word) Sown, and Increase the Fruits
of your RIGHTEOUSNESS (Not spelled self; Phil.1:11; Jms.3:17;
Isa. 64:6); Being Enriched in every thing to all Bountifulness,
which causeth through us Thanksgiving to Adonay (2Cor. 9:5-11).
Therefore
let all the house of Yisrael know assuredly, that God hath made that same
Yeshua, whom ye (Your Sins) have Crucified, both Lord and
Christ. Now when they heard this, they were Pricked in their
Heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and
brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, REPENT (to
convert, to Return: change Heb. #7725; Greek: from #3340 to differently
or afterwards, to reconsider, a compunction for guilt, a reformation, by
impl. a reversal of decision #3341), and be Baptized (see: ìThe
Covenant of Baptismî by this author) every one of you in The Name
of Jesus Christ for the REMISSION of SINS,
and ye shall Receive The Gift of the Holy Spirit.
For The Promise
is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as
many as the Lord our God shall Call. And with many other Words
did he Testify and Exhort, saying, SAVE YOURSELVES
(a Commandment, Not a Grant) from this UNTOWARD Generation (Acts
2:36-40).
Be ye Not Unequally Yoked together
with unbelievers: for what Fellowship hath Righteousness
with Unrighteousness? and what Communion hath Light with Darkness?
And what Concord hath Christ with Belial? or what Part
hath he that Believeth with an Infidel? And what Agreement
hath The Temple of God with Idols? for ye Are the Temple of
the Living God; as God hath said, I will dwell In them, and walk
In them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My People.
Wherefore Come Out from among them,
and Be ye Separate, saith the Lord, and touch Not the
unclean thing; and I will Receive you, And will be a Father unto
you, and ye shall Be my Sons and Daughters, saith the
Lord Almighty (2Cor. 6:14-18). Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always
Obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, Work
Out your own Salvation with Reverence (fear) and Trembling
(Phil.2:12).
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into My Rest.Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first Preached entered Not in because of Disobedience (Unbelief, #543,570,571: ìBecause they sought it Not by Faith (Jms.2:14-26; the manifestation of the Righteousness of The Law, through Christ in us, but as it were by the Works of (flesh) The Law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstoneî [Rom.9:32]): Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, Today, after so long a time; as it is said, Today if ye will Hear His Voice, harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them Rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
There remaineth therefore a Rest to the people of God.
For he that is entered into His rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did fromHhis.
Let us labour Labour (Study, earnestly endeavor #4704) therefore to Enter into that Rest,
lest any man Fall after the same
example of Unbelief.
For THE WORD of God is quick (ALIVE), and Powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing Asunder of Soul and Spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a Discerner of the Thoughts and Intents of the Heart (Hebr. 4:4-12; 1Cor.10:1-11). Study to show thyself approved unto God (To Confirm your Approval), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, Rightly Dividing (correctly Expounding, Understanding, #3718) THE WORD of Truth (2Tim. 2:15; Re.:Jhn.17:17).
Then cometh
he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now;
but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash
my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash (Jhn.15:3) thee Not,
thou hast no part with Me. Simon Peter saith unto Him, Lord, not
my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
Jesus saith to him, He that is
washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit:
and ye are clean, but not all. For he knew who should betray Him; therefore
said He, Ye are not all clean. So after he had washed their feet, and had
taken his garments, and was set down again, He said unto them, Know ye what
I have done to you?
Ye call me Master and Lord: and
ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed
your feet; ye also ought to wash one anotherís feet.
For I have given you an
EXAMPLE,
that ye should Do as I have
done to you.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his Lord; neither he that is sent greater than He that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them (Jhn.13:6-17; Phil.3:17; 2Thes.3:9; 1Tim.4:12; Jms.5:10; 1Pet.2:21-24; 1Pet.5:3).
Forasmuch then
as Christ hath Suffered for us in the flesh (Heb.5:8,9), arm yourselves
likewise with the Same Mind: for he that hath suffered
in the flesh hath Ceased from Sin; That he No longer should live
the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to The
Will of Adonay.
For the time past of our life
may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we
walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings,
and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange
that ye run not with them to the same Excess of Riot, speaking
evil of you: Who shall give account to Him that is ready to judge the quick
and the dead (1Pet. 4:1-5).
Thus we are given the AUTHORITY and Power to make: ìPEACE on EARTH, and GOODWILL to ALL Menî (Lke.2:14), First within the Congregational Assembly of believers (Gal.6:10), and the ìGreat Commissionî (not Divine Option: courtesy Calvary Chapel) to reach out to a lost world, that they might also enter in (Matt.28:19,20). As we enter into the ìDispensation of the fullness of Timesî (Eph.1:10), the more the world is going to make life difficult for those of us who would ìLive Out Our Faithî (1st Amendment), yet if we do not CONTINUE in ìThe Word of His Patienceî (Rev.3:10), we cannot enter into the Fullness of Christ (Gal.4:19), and The Experiential Knowledge of His Truth, by whom we are set Free (Rom.6:21,22; Jhn.1:29); the entire Growing Process in the Faith being accompanied by the ìTrying of our Faith (Jms.1:3,4; 2Pet.1:4-9, another study under His Tabernacle), before we enter into "His Rest" (Heb.4:11; 1Pet.5:10).
Thus saith
the LORD; Behold, I will raise up Against Babylon, and Against them that
dwell in the Midst of Them that rise up Against Me, a Destroying
wind; And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall
Empty her land: for in The Day of Trouble (THE GREAT AND AWESOME
DAY OF THE LORD) they shall be against her round about. Against him that
bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself
up in his brigandine: and spare ye Not her young men; Destroy ye Utterly
All her host.
Thus the slain shall fall
in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
For Yisrael (Gal.6:16; Eph.2:12) hath Not been Forsaken, nor Judah of his God,
of the LORD of hosts; though their LAND was FILLED
with SIN Against the Holy
One of Yisrael.
Flee out of the Midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his
Soul: be not cut off in Her Iniquity; for This is The Time
of the LORDíS Vengeance; he will Render unto her a
Recompence (Rev.18). Babylon HAD (hath) been a Golden
Cup in the LORDíS hand, that made all the earth Drunken
(Rev.17): the nations have Drunken of Her Wine; therefore the nations
are MAD (Jer. 51:1-7).
And there came one
of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying
unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the Judgment of the great
Whore that sitteth upon Many Waters: With whom the kings
of the earth have committed Fornication (extra marital sex (1Cor.7:1,2),
iniquity, idolatrous, immoral, life of unlawful Lust, intercourse
with strangers (2Cor.6:14-18) causing the people to be Unfaithful
to the One True God, and go a whoring after other gods, to Apostatize:
#2181, 2183 in Hebrew, #4202,4203 in Greek), and the inhabitants of
the earth have been made DRUNK with the WINE of her FORNICATION.
So he carried me away in the spirit
into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast,
full of names of Blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And
the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold
and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of
Abominations and Filthiness of her Fornication:
And upon her forehead was a name written,
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH
(Rev. 17:1-5).
And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth (Rev.17:9). And the woman which thou sawest is that great City, which Reigneth over the Kings of the Earth (Rev.17:18).
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the Great is Fallen, is Fallen, and is become the Habitation of Devils, and the hold of every Foul Spirit, and a Cage of every Unclean and Hateful bird (have you watched TV lately?). For all nations have
DRUNK of the WINE of the WRATH of her FORNICATION,
and the kings of the earth have committed FORNICATION
with her, and the Merchants of the earth are ìmadeî
Rich (see: "The Fall of Babylon") through the Abundance
of her Delicacies (akin to #4131, a striker; strength (ie. iron fist:
authorís. note), strenuousness, fig. luxuriance, voluptuousness,
Luxury #4764).
And I heard another voice
from heaven, saying,
COME OUT of her, My people,
that ye be
NOT PARTAKERS of HER SINS,
and that ye RECEIVE NOT of her PLAGUES.
Therefore shall her plagues come in One Day, Death, and Mourning, and Famine; and she shall be utterly Burned with Fire: for Strong is the Lord God who Judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed Fornication and lived Deliciously (denoting Affluence) with her, shall Bewail her, and Lament for her, when they shall see the Smoke of her Burning, Standing afar off for the Fear of her Torment, saying, Alas, alas, that Great city Babylon, that Mighty city! for in One Hour is thy Judgment come (Rev. 18:8-10).
And a mighty angel took up a Stone like a great Millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with Violence shall that Great City Babylon be Thrown Down, and shall be found No More at all. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy Merchants were the Great men of the earth; for by thy Sorceries were All nations DECEIVED (Rev. 18:21-23).
Sorcery: ìPharmakeia,î comes from the word ìPharmakonî (Strongs #5331, 5332) being ìpotions,î drugs, spell giving potions; in a Biblical context a ìPoisonerî by extension a Sorcerer or a Witch;who uses drugs (Legal or Contreband) as a would be Side Door (Jhn.10:1-9) to enter the (False: Gal.5:20) Spiritual realm of fleshly Self Deception. In Hebrew, the word ìKashaphî (#3784, 3786) is always associated with the worship of Idols in the practice of Sorcery. This is particularly important in the ìso calledî New Age (the resurgence of the ìDark Agesî)
The Lord is Not Slack
concerningHis Promise (to whom made
He The Promises),
as some men count slackness;
but is Longsuffering to us-ward
(to whom He made the Promise),
NotWilling that any
(of us who Believe) ShouldPerish
(He is obviously not talking of the
ìPine Box;î but of our Eternal Salvation),
but that All should Come toREPENTANCE
(Which is Our Salvation ; 2Pet.3:9).
"Repentance
(to feel compunction, (incl. for guilt) a Reversal, ie. to turn away from
sin: Strongs #3341: from #3340 to think differently (Rom.12:2) to
reconsider: from #3539: to Comprehend)."
O my threshing,
and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts,
the Adown of Israel, have I Declared unto You (Is.21:8-10). I Charge you by the Lord
"Yeshua" that this Epistle be Read unto ALL the HOLY BRETHREN. The GRACE
of our Lord Yeshua The Christ be With you. Amen (1Ths.5:27,28).
