Glory to El Shaddai, Our Father,
In His Son Yeshua HaMashiach.
Adversity,
and The Trying
of our Faith.
Yeshua Shalom.
And Moses cried unto El Shaddai; and YHWH showed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there He made for them a Statute and an Ordinance, and there he Tested (proved#5254) them, and said, If you wilt diligently hearken to the voice ofYHWH Adonay, and will do that which is Right in His sight, and will give ear to His Commandments, and keep all His Statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon you, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I AM YHWH that healeth ( YEHOVA Rapha, Re: Deut.7:12-15) you (Exod. 15:25,26).
Then said YHWH unto Moses, Behold, I will rain MANNA from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a dayës portion, every day, that I may Test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not (Ex.16:4). And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for Adonay is come to Test you, and that His Fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not (Ex.20:20; Re:1Jhn.2:1; 1Cor.10:5-12). And you shalt remember all the way which YHWH Adonay led you these forty years in the wilderness, to Humble you, and to Test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would Keep His Commandments (1Jhn.5:1-5), or no. And He humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did thy fathers know; that He might make you know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of YHWH doth man live (Deut.8:2,3; Re: Matt.4:4;Jhn.6:48-51). Who fed you in the wilderness with Manna, which thy fathers knew not, that He might Humble you, and that He might Test you, to do you good at thy latter end; And thou say in thine heart, my power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. But thou shalt remember YHWH Adonay: for He is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His Covenant which He swore unto your fathers, as is this day (Deut.8:16,17).
Speak Not thou in thine heart, after that YHWH Adonay has cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness (Is.64:6) the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for (on account of) the wickedness of these nations YHWH doth drive them out from before thee. Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the YHWH Adonay doth drive them out from before thee, and that He may perform the Word (Jer.1:12) which YHWH sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Deut.9:4,5).
If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods (1Cor.8:5,6; 2Thes.2:4-12), which you have not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt Not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for YHWH Adonay Tests you, to know whether ye Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after YHWH Adonay, and Fear Him, and keep His Commandments, and Obey (Heb.5:8,9) His voice(Word), and ye shall serve Him, and cleave unto Him. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he has spoken to turn you away from YHWH Adonay, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and Redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of "The Way" which YHWH Adonay commanded thee to Walk in.
So shalt thou put the evil away (another Study) from the midst of thee. If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him (Ex.23:24,25): But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from YHWH Adonay, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. And all Israel shall Hear, and Fear, and shall Do No More any such wickedness as this is among you. (Deut.13:1-11).
For They Are A Nation Void Of Counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their Latter End! How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their rock had sold them, and YHWH had shut them up? For their rock is not as Our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges (Deut.32:28-32).
Ask ye of YHWH rain in the time of the latter rain (NOW); so YHWH shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd. Mine Anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle (Zech.10:1-3; Re:Jer.25:34-36; Ezk.34:12)).
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but Establish The Just: for the Righteous Adonay trieth the hearts and reins. My defence is of El Shaddai, Who saves the upright in heart. Adonay judgeth the righteous, and Adonay is angry with the wicked every day. If he turn (Repent) not, He will whet (sharpen #3913) His sword; He hath bent His bow, and made it ready. He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He ordaineth His arrows against the persecutors. Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made; his mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate ( crown of the head #6936). I will praise YHWH according to His Righteousness: and will sing Praise to the name of the LORD Most High (Ps.7:9-17).
The LORD is in His Holy Temple, the LORDíS throne is in heaven: His eyes behold, His eyelids Test, the children of men. The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence His Soul Hates (Ps.11:4,5; Re: Gen.22:1; Ps.2:4; 9:9,10; 10:17,18; 32:18; 34:14-18; 35:10).
Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide. Examine me, O LORD, and Test me (1Chr,29:17); try my reins and my heart. For Thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I Have Walked In Thy Truth. I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked. I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD: That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. LORD, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thine honour dwelleth. Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: Redeem me, and be Merciful unto me. My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD (Ps.26:1-12).
Search me, O Adonay, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in ìThe Wayî Everlasting (Ps.139:23,24; Jer.12:3). Thou hast proved mine heart; Thou hast visited me in the night; Thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress (James 3:2). Concerning the works of men, by the Word of Thy lips, I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer (Ps.17:3,4; Re: James 3:2; 1Jhn.3:9; Ps.26:1; 39:1,2). But, O LORD of Hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart (Rev.2:23), let me see Thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause (Jer.11:20; Re: Jer.15:15;1Sam.16:7;1Chr.28:9; Gen.18:25).
For Thou, O Adonay, hast proved us: Thou hast tried (refined) us, as silver is tried (Job.23:10). Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou laidst affliction upon our loins (Is,48:10). Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads (Rev.13:7,8); we went through fire and through water: but Thou broughtest us out into a plentious place (Ps.66:10-12). Therefore this is what the LORD Almighty says: See, I will Refine and Test them, for what else can I do because of the sin of my people? Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks with deceit. With his mouth each speaks cordially to his neighbor, but in his heart he sets a trap for him. Should I not punish them for this?î declares the LORD. Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this? (Jer.9:7-9).
Is it not from the Mouth of the Most High that good and bad come? Why should any who draw breath complain about the punishment of their sins? Let us test and examine our ways, and return to the LORD (Repent). Let us lift up our hearts as well as our hands to Adonay in heaven. We have transgressed and rebelled, and you have not forgiven (Lam.3:38-42). Until the time that His Word came (was fulfilled): The Word of YHWH tried him (Ps.105:19: Re.: Gen.39:11-21; Gen.40:200,21; Gen.41:25,42,43).
This is just a summary study of the issue; the point being that a certain amount of suffering (Heb.5:8,9; 1Pet.4:1,2) does "build Character" and the Lord does use adversity tobuild ours, and not withstanding the easy "write off" to "Circumstance" the Lord also use Affliction to "Chasten" us, and our prerogative is to be Honest enough with ourselves (1Cor.11:28-32) to apply the necessary "Discernment" to determine if The Lord is Chastening us, or if the Devil is Harassing, Badgering or otherwise Persecuting us.
For the purpose of this Study, and as previously established ("The Fall of Babylon"), we take for granted there will Not Be a Pre-Tribulation Rapture, and there are therefore a number of very Relevant issues that are not sufficiently studied in the "Big Picture" of the unfolding of the "End of the Age." Beloved, think it not strange concerning the Fiery Trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christís sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy (1Pet.4:12,13).
And such as do wickedlyagainst the Covenant shall he (Antichrist, the prince of the Powers of the Air) corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do Know their Adonay shall be strong (Eph.6:10-18), and do exploits (Mic.5:7-9; Zech.9:13-16; Zech.10:3-6). And they who understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days (Mal.2:7; Matt.24:9. Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries (Acts 20:29,30). And some of them of understanding shall fall, to Try them, and to Purge, and to make them white, even until the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed (Dan.11:32-35; Re.: Zech.8:13-17; Jdgs.4:3; Ezk.14:10-23). Many shall be Purified, and made white, and Tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand (Dan.12:10; Re.: Jer.31:34; Hos.14:9).
And it was given unto him (Antichrist) to Make War with the saints (1Cor.1:2), and to Overcome (to have dominion #3528; to continually suppress) them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, Whose Names Are Not Written In The Book Of Life Of The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If anyone have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is The Patience and the Faith Of The Saints (Rev.13:7-10; Re.: Dan.12:1,2; Deut.4:4:30,31; Is.26:9; Ps.78:30-38). And except those days should be Shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but For The Electís sake those days shall be shortened (Matt.22:24). And because Iniquity shall abound, the Love of many shall Wax Cold. But he that shall Endure Unto The End, the same Shall Be Saved (Matt.24:12,13; Re.:Matt.10:22; Rev.2:7,10,11,26; Rev.3:5,12,21).
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the Kingdom Of El Shaddai. Blessed are ye that hunger now: for Ye Shall Be Filled. Blessed are you that weep now: for you shall laugh. Blessed are you, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil (Is.5:20), for the Son of manís sake (1Pet.4:14). Rejoice you in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner (Luke 6:26) did their fathers unto the prophets. But woe unto you that are rich! for you have received your Consolation. Woe unto you that are full! for you shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for you shall mourn and weep. Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets (Luke 6:20-26).
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye may be kept from stumbling. They shall put you out of the synagogues (ch-rches): yea, the time comes, that whosoever kills you will think that he doeth El Shaddai service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have Not Known the Father, nor Me. But these things I have told you, that when the time shall come, ye may Remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you (Jhn.16:1-4; Re.:Jhn.9:22; Is.66:5; Acts 26:9-11). You have not chosen me, but I have Chosen You, and Ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit (of The Word), and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My Name, he may give it you.
These things I command you, that you Love one another. If the world Hate You (Jhn.8:51; Jhn.15:23; 2Tim.3:12), you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own (1Jhn.2:15-17; Jms.4:4): but because you are Not of the world, for I have chosen you Out Of The World, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is Notgreater than his lord. If (since) they have Persecuted Me, they Will also Persecute You; if they have kept my saying, they willkeep yours also. But all these things they will do unto you for My Nameís Sake, because they know Not Him that sent Me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. He that hates Me hates My Father also. If I had Not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both Me and My Father (Jhn.15:16-24; Re.:1Jhn.3:13; 1Cor.4:12; 2Cor.4:9,10).
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be you therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues (ch-rches); And you shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what you shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what you shall speak. For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh In you. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death (sounds like the New-age). And you shall be hated of all men for My Nameís sake: but he that Endureth To The End shall be saved. But when they persecute you in this city, flee you into another: for verily I say unto you, you shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come (Matt.10:14-23).
My brethren, count it all Joy when you fall into divers Temptations (Tribulations); Knowing this, that the Trying of your Faith Worketh Patience. But let Patience have her Perfect Work, that you may be Perfect and Entire (complete, fulfilled #3648), WantingNothing (Jms.1:2-4). For to this you have been Called, because Christ also suffered for you, Leaving You An Example, so that you should Follow In His steps. ìHe committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth.î When He was abused, He did not return abuse; when He suffered, He did not threaten; but He entrusted Himself to the one who judges justly. He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that, Free From Sins, we might live For Righteousness;
by His Stripes you have been Healed
(1Pet.2:21-24).
Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, Arm yourselves also with the Same Mind (for whoever has suffered in the flesh has finished with sin), so as to Not live the rest of your earthly life ìto the will of menî but To The Will of El Shaddai. You have already spent enough time in doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in licentiousness, passions, drunkenness, revels, carousing, and Lawless Idolatry. They are surprised that you no longer join them in the same Excesses Of Dissipation, and so they blaspheme. But they will have to give an accounting to him who stands ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is the reason the Gospel was proclaimed even to the dead, so that, though they had been judged in the flesh as everyone is judged, they might live in the Spirit as Adonay does. The End Of All Things Is Near; therefore be serious and Discipline Yourselves for the sake of your prayers (1Pet.4:1-7; NRSV).
Beloved, think
it not strange concerning the Fiery Trial which is to Try you (Eph.6:10-12,
though not as noticeable, there being a lot of manipulation and other witchcraft
in the psychic realm), as though some strange thing happened unto you: But
rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christís sufferings (Matt.5:10-12);
that, when His glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding
joy (1Pet.4:12,13). Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season,
if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold Trials (2Cor.4:8-13):
That the Trial (Genuineness, NRSV) Of Your Faith, being much more
Precious Than Of Gold that perisheth, though it be Tried With Fire (1Cor.3:11-15),
might be found unto Praise and Honour and Glory at the appearing of Yeshua
HaMashiach: Whom having not seen, ye Love; in whom, though now ye see him
not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of Glory: Receiving
the end (Goal) of your Faith, even The Salvation Of Your Souls. Of which
salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied
of the Grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of
time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified
beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the Glory that should follow (1Pet.1:6-11).
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of El Shaddai: And if children, then heirs; heirs of Adonay, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be 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 (Rom.8:16-18). Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the Excellency Of The Knowledge of Christ Yeshua my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things (Heb.10:34), and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in Him, Not having mine own Righteousness, which is of the Law (to say nothing of any phony lawless ìself (Is.64:6) righteousness), but that which is ìbyî the Faith of Christ, the Righteousness which is of El Shaddai By Faith: that I may Know Him, and the Power Of His Resurrection (Gal.5:5; Rom.8:3,4; Rom.3:31), and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made Conformable (Rom.12:2; Eph.4:20-24) unto His death; If by any means I might attain unto the Resurrection Of The Dead (Phil.3:8-11).
Be Not carried about (Eph.4:11-16) with divers and strange Doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with Grace; not with meats (Rom.14:17), which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Yeshua also, that he might Sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without (outside) the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto Him without the camp, bearing His reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come (Heb.13:9-14; 1Thes.3:3,4; 1Pet.3:18; Heb.11:24-27; 1Pet.2:11; Heb.11:10-16; Jms.5:10).
We are troubled on every side (mostly in the Spirit:: Eph.6:10-18; 2Cor.10:3-5, unless one hangs out in a War Zone), yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Yeshua, that the life also of Yeshua might be made manifest in our body (Gal:4:19; Eph.4:13). For we which live are always delivered unto death for Yeshuaís sake, that the life also of eshua might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you. We having the same Spirit Of Faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; Knowing that He Who raised up the Lord Yeshua shall raise up us also by Yeshua, and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the Glory of El Shaddai. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed (Eph.4:20-24) day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and Eternal Weight Of Glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal (2Cor.4:8-18)
Blessed be Adown, even the Father of our Lord Yeshua HaMashiach, the Father of Mercies, and the Adoway of all Comfort; Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any distress (trouble), by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of El Shaddai. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ. And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in El Shaddai Who raiseth the dead: Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver: in whom we trust that He will yet deliver us (2Cor.1:3-10).
However, the issue is paradoxical, in that all adversity is not a trying of our Faith, though it can eliminate any misplaced Faith.
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, Despise Not thou the chastening of YHWH (The Word: Ps.138:2) nor faint when thou art rebuked of Him (Rev.3:19): For whom Adonay Loves He chasteneth, and Scourgeth every son whom He Receives (Mic.6:9,10; Job 36:8,9; Ps.119:67; Luke 15:16-18; Ps.32:5;Ps.51:3-5; Hos.2:6,7). If ye endure chastening, Adonay dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the Father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in Subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure (with no Real reason); but He for our Benefit (profit), that we might (to be of power #1410) be Partakers of His Holiness. Now no chastening (Straightening) for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward yields the Peaceable fruit of Righteousness (Jms.3:15-18) unto them who are exercised thereby (Heb.5:12-14;) .
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. Follow Peace with all men, and Holiness,(Ps.30:5; Ps.103:9; Ps.118:71-75; Ps.126:5; Is.10:16,17,25; Jer.31:18,19; Lam.3:33) without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the Grace of El Shaddai; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright (Heb.12:5-16; Re.:Is.10:20,21; Lam.2:17-19; Hos.5:14,15; !Jhn.2:1,2).
And I will cause you to Pass Under The Rod, and I will bring you into the Bond Of The Covenant: And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against Me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Yisrael: and ye shall know that I AM YHWH. As for you, O house of Yisrael, thus saith YHWH Adonay; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, but afterward you will surely Listen To Me and no longer profane My Holy Name with your gifts and idols. For in Mine Holy Mountain, in the mountain of the height of Yisrael, saith YHWH Adonay, there shall all the House of Yisrael, all of them in the land, serve Me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things (Ezk.20:37-40; Re.: Ezra 9:13; Ps.103:10; Jer.2:19; 2Sam.7:14; Ps.89:30-33).
They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse (Jhn.15:3) them. They will be My people, and I will be their Adonay (Ezk.37:23; Re.: Jer.46:26; Is.61:2,3; Acts 5:1-3; 1Cor.5:5). But this shall be the Covenant that I will make with the house of Yisrael; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put My Laws in their inward parts, and write them in Their Hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people (Jer.31:33; Re.:Jer.24:7; Jer.32:40;; Ps.40:8; 2Cor.3:3). And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to Walk In My Statutes, and ye shall be careful to Observe My Ordinances, and Do Them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God (Ezk.36:27,28; Re.: Is.44:3; Is.59:21; Ezk.37:14; Ezk.39:29).
While the primary means of "Rebuke and Chastening" (Rev.3:19) is a "Straightening" in and through the Correction (James 5:19,20) ìOf, For, and "By" The WORD (John1:1-3,14; 2Tim.3:16,17), YHWH may have to use more drastic means (Prov.29:19), should we get "Stiffnecked" or Stubborn (1Sam.15:23) about sin; in that His Grace is Not :Licence for sin (Jude v.4; Rom.6:1-7), and His Liberty is Not opportunity (Gal.5:13; 1Pet.2:16; 2Pet.2:19; Is.32:5) for the flesh; being AdmonishedNot to Sin (1Jhn.2:1,2;1Jhn.3:3-9; Ps.89:30-32; Ps.78:38,39).
Be not deceived; El Shaddai is Not Mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Jer.2:19; Ps.39:11; Jer.10:24; Jer.20:11; Jer. 46:28). For he that soweth to his flesh (Eph.2:2,3; Rom.8:5-8) shall of the flesh reap corruption (decay, ruin, desttruction #5356); but he that soweth to the Spirit (The WORD: Jhn.6:63; Eph.6:17; Rev.19:10) shall of the Spirit reap Life Everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us Do Good unto all Men, especially unto them who are of the Household Of Faith (Gal.6:7-10; Re.: Rom.6:21;; 1Cor.15:42;; Hos.8:7; Rom.8:11). Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, Reap It. By the blast of El Shaddai they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed (Job 4:8,9).
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lordís body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world (1Cor.11:28-32; Re.:2Cor.13:5; Gal.6:4;1Jhn.1:9; 2Sam.7:14; Ps.94:12-15; 1Cor.1:20).
Purge out therefore the old leaven (doctrines of men, secular humanism, emotionalsecularism: Matt.15:8,9; Matt.16:12;; Col.2:22; Heb.13:9), that ye may be a New Lump, as ye are (through Faith) unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of Sincerity and Truth. I wrote unto you in an epistle Not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous (Eph.5:3-7), or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then (on account of whom) must ye need go out of the world (1Cor.5:7-10; Re.: 2Tim.2:21,22; 1Pet.1:17,18,22,23; Gal.5:24; Rom.6:6; Gal.2:20; Gal.6:14; Mrk.8:34; Tit.2:12; Rom.8:13; Col.3:5)."
Let us therefore seriously ìSeek YHWHî (The Word, in the Spirit), and apply Discernment to our lives and circumstances, so as to Not Hinder the Work of The Holy Spirit in our Lives.
O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of THE LORD of Hosts, the Adown of Yisrael, 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).
