To a nation that did not call My name, I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’ 2All day long I have held out My hands to an obstinate people who walk in the wrong path, who follow their own imaginations,… 6 And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love. Love the LORD your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus. Through him, we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake. You are my friends if you do what I command. “If you love me, keep my commands. 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man, the many will be made righteous.

It explains the mechanics of self-diagnosis, shows you the beautiful path of repentance, and lists clear scriptural proofs to help you take your next steps with confidence. A Note of Encouragement for the Road Beloved truth seeker, turning your mirror back toward the Creator's written instructions is a path of restoration, not bondage. Keeping the Father's commandments is how we physically express our love for Him (1 John 5:3). Take your time. Study the scriptures. Question the traditions you inherited. Ask the Father to remove the veil, polish your spiritual mirror, and restore your eyes to see and your ears to hear the glorious light of His eternal truth. Where to begin? We highly recommend taking The Lawlessness Test first, and letting the scriptures speak directly to you. A Loving Warning to a Churchgoer My friend, Scripture warns that the adversary’s primary goal is not to turn you into an atheist, but to subtly steer you onto his own path of anomia—the spirit of lawlessness that teaches God's instructions no longer have authority over your life (1 John 3:4). You can prove this spiritual blindness is operating in your own heart by looking at a simple, physical instruction like the Fourth Commandment: “But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work...” ($Exodus$ $20:10$). The Creator's written Word plainly designates Saturday as His holy day forever, yet when you look at this text, your eyes read "Saturday" while your traditional training forces you to see "Sunday" or to believe the commandment is abolished. This inability to simply accept and obey what is plainly written—substituting it instead with human church traditions—is the exact "sensory shutdown" warned about in the scriptures; it proves that while you may sincerely love God, you are unknowingly walking the path of the original rebel by treating His eternal $Torah$ as optional. This blindness is not an accident; it is the operation of a profound spiritual law: we spiritually conform to the nature of whatever we worship. When you place your ultimate trust and reverence in a church denomination, a human pastor, or a comfortable system of theology that explains away God's Torah, your soul begins to act as a mirror to that system. You inherit the exact sensory shutdown of the man-made traditions you revere—possessing a Bible you cannot see and a Creator's voice you cannot hear. By taking an honest look at your own daily practices versus the written Word, you are holding up a mirror to your soul and performing a vital self-diagnosis. Your own physical actions are proving that your spiritual hardware has been tuned to copy and reflect a lawless human system rather than the glorious, eternal image of the living God. Proof in the Scriptures: Look Up and Study These Verses If your heart is open to the raw, unfiltered truth of the written Word, please take a moment to look up these scriptures in your own Bible: Is the Sabbath truly done away with? $Exodus$ $31:16-17$: “Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever...” Question to ponder: If God declared the Sabbath an eternal sign and a perpetual covenant, by whose authority was it changed or abolished? Does God accept worship that is mixed with human traditions? Mark 7:7-9 (Yeshua's Warning): “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men... Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” Question to ponder: Are you honoring Sunday, Christmas, or Easter because the Bible commands them, or because church traditions tell you to? What does God think of prayers from those who reject His Law? Proverbs 28:9: “He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law ($Torah$), even his prayer shall be abomination.” Question to ponder: If we ignore His written instructions, can we truly say we are in deep communion with Him? How does the New Testament define our love for God? 1 John 5:3: “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.” Question to ponder: If loving God means keeping His physical commandments, why does modern theology teach that those commandments are a "burden" or "bondage"? This test is specifically designed to expose the subtle, traditional rationalizations that people in the church use to reject God's law. It uses the words of the Messiah Himself from Matthew 7:21-23—where He warns that many well-meaning, miracle-working churchgoers will be turned away because they "work lawlessness" (anomia). The 10-Question Diagnostic Review the statements below. Answer honestly based on your current personal beliefs, teachings, and church practices. 1. The Validity of the Law Do you believe or teach that the Law of Moses ($Torah$) has been "abolished," "nailed to the cross," or "done away with" for New Testament believers? [ ] YES [ ] NO 2. The Definition of Holiness Do you believe that under the New Covenant of "grace," physical obedience to the Creator's Old Testament commandments is completely optional or unnecessary? [ ] YES [ ] NO 3. The Sabbath Day Do you treat Sunday as the Sabbath, or believe the Seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) was changed or abolished, despite God designating it as a "perpetual, everlasting covenant"? [ ] YES [ ] NO 4. Dietary Separation Do you believe that God's dietary boundaries (Leviticus 11) no longer apply, and that you are free to eat pig, shellfish, or other unclean things because "Jesus made all foods clean"? [ ] YES [ ] NO 5. Adopting Pagan Customs Do you celebrate holidays of pagan origin (like Christmas on December 25th or Easter Sunday) under the belief that "it's about the heart" and "God knows what it means to me"? [ ] YES [ ] NO 6. The Pauline Filter Do you use isolated, misunderstood verses from the Apostle Paul’s letters to argue against keeping the direct, physical commandments of the Father and the Messiah? [ ] YES [ ] NO 7. Labeling Obedience as "Legalism" Do you refer to, mock, or warn others against believers who strive to keep the Seventh-day Sabbath, eat clean, or wear $tzitzit$ (tassels) by calling them "legalists," "Pharisees," or "under bondage"? [ ] YES [ ] NO 8. Dismissing the Feast Days Do you believe that God’s annual Appointed Times ($Moedim$ in Leviticus 23) were "only for the Jews" and have no prophetic value or application for the Church today? [ ] YES [ ] NO 9. Cheap Grace Do you believe that as long as you "love God" and "love your neighbor," you are free to ignore the specific, physical instructions of how the Creator asked to be loved and worshiped? [ ] YES [ ] NO 10. Defensive Reaction to the Law Does hearing the term "Torah observance" or the suggestion that we must physically keep the commandments of God trigger immediate defensiveness, anger, or discomfort in your heart? [ ] YES [ ] NO Diagnosing the Results: What Does Your Score Mean? Count how many times you answered "YES" to the statements above. If You Answered "YES" 1 to 3 Times: Developing Contamination You have started to absorb some of the traditional, lawless dogmas of mainstream theology. While you may still revere the Old Testament, you are allowing human traditions to slowly blind your spiritual eyes to the plain instructions of the Creator. If You Answered "YES" 4 or More Times: The Spirit of Lawlessness ($Anomia$) A score of 4 or more "YES" answers indicates that your personal theology is operating directly under the spirit of $anomia$ (lawlessness). You are actively practicing a belief system that teaches that God's instructions have no authority over you. By defending these "YES" positions, you are using church traditions as a shield to bypass the written Word of God—which is the exact behavior the Messiah $Yeshua$ condemned in Matthew 7 and Mark 7. The Scriptural Reality Check If this test made you uncomfortable, look closely at what the Scriptures say about each "YES" answer: To Statement 1 & 2: $Yeshua$ said: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets... whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:17-19) To Statement 3: God said: “Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath... throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.” (Exodus 31:16) To Statement 4: The Prophet Isaiah warns that those who consume swine's flesh and abominable things will be consumed together in end-times judgment. (Isaiah 66:17) To Statement 5: God said: “Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared... and enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God.” (Deuteronomy 12:30-31) To Statement 6 & 7: The Apostle Peter explicitly warned that those who are "unlearned and unstable" twist Paul's letters to their own destruction because they are led away by the "error of the lawless." (2 Peter 3:15-17) To Statement 8: The Apostle Paul instructed New Testament believers to keep the biblical feasts: “Purge out therefore the old leaven... For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast.” (1 Corinthians 5:7-8) To Statement 9 & 10 : The Apostle John wrote: “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.” (1 John 5:3) Conclusion Do not let traditional dogmas make the Word of God of "none effect" in your life. Repent of the spirit of lawlessness ($anomia$), point your spiritual mirror directly back to the Creator's written instructions, and let Him restore your eyes to see, your ears to hear, and your heart to obey! Spiritual Blindness and the Mirroring of Idolatry: Why the Church Cannot Comprehend the Torah A common question arises within the movement to return to God's commandments: Why is it that otherwise sincere, Bible-reading churchgoers cannot see, understand, or accept the perpetual validity of the Torah? Scripture reveals that this barrier is not merely intellectual; it is a profound, active spiritual state. When human traditions and man-made theology are elevated above the living instructions of the Creator , a specific spiritual mechanism is triggered: The Mirroring Principle of Idolatry. 1. The Powerless, Dead Idols Scripture is incredibly consistent in how it describes man-made idols. In the Psalms, we are given a vivid description of physical representations used in worship: "They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not..." — Psalm 115:5-6 "They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths." — Psalm 135:16-17 These idols are characterized by complete sensory shutdown. They possess the outward physical forms of sight, hearing, and speech, but they are utterly devoid of spiritual life, breath, and true perception. To bring this ancient biblical truth into the 21st century, we are going to use the example of a "Dummy" Display Smartphone. It looks perfect on the outside but lacks any internal life, illustrating exactly how a person can have all the outward tools of faith (Bibles, apps, church buildings) while remaining spiritually unresponsive to the actual commandments of God. Here is the updated article with this new modern analogy integrated as Section 3. 2. The Spiritual Mirror: Becoming What We Worship The crucial warning of these passages is not just about the statues themselves, but about the transformational impact they have on those who trust in them: "They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them." — Psalm 115:8 / Psalm 135:18 This is a spiritual law of the universe: We spiritually conform to the nature of the object of our devotion. When we place our trust in man-made theological structures, physical icons, or ecclesiastical traditions that substitute God's commandments, we begin to match their spiritual state. We develop spiritual eyes that cannot see and spiritual ears that cannot hear. 3. The Diagnosis of Spiritual Stubbornness Throughout the scriptures, when God's people fell into unbelief and stubbornness—trusting in their own traditions and rejecting the Torah—the prophets used this exact "idol-mirroring" language to diagnose their spiritual condition: Jeremiah 5:21: "Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not..." Ezekiel 12:2: "Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house." Mark 8:18: Yeshua Himself confronts His disciples with this same warning when they fall into fear and unbelief: "Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?" 4. The Root Cause: Hardening of the Heart Through Unbelief This sensory shutdown is fundamentally caused by a hardening of the heart. When a believer repeatedly encounters the plain text of God's Word but chooses to bypass it to preserve a comfortable, traditional doctrine, a calloused layer forms over their spiritual heart. According to Hebrew thought, the heart is the seat of the mind, will, and understanding. Unbelief acts as a barrier. It refuses to take God at His word. This persistent unbelief leads to a hardened heart (a spiritual thickening/callous). The result is a total inability to process spiritual truth that contradicts human traditions. 5. The Modern Application: The Veil Over the Church This spiritual mirroring explains why many modern churchgoers struggle to understand or accept the Torah. When presented with clear scriptures regarding the seventh-day Sabbath ($Shabbat$), dietary instructions ($Kashrut$), or the Feast Days ($Moedim$), they are often completely unable to comprehend or accept them. Even though the words are right there on the pages of their own Bibles, they cannot perceive them. Just as the dead, traditional systems they trust in are deaf to the living voice of God's law, they too experience a spiritual dullness. Until they repent of human traditions and surrender to the authority of the Creator's written Word, the veil remains over their eyes, keeping them spiritually blind to the beauty, light, and perpetual life of the Torah. This statement echoes 1 John 3:8, which says, "Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning" The Mirroring Principle of Idolatry: What You Revere, You Resemble One of the most profound, yet frequently overlooked, spiritual laws written across the pages of Scripture is what theologians call The Mirroring Principle of Idolatry. Simply put, the principle states: We spiritually conform to the nature of whatever we worship. In the words of biblical scholar G.K. Beale, "What people revere, they resemble, either for ruin or for restoration." When we give our ultimate devotion, trust, and obedience to something, we begin to mirror its characteristics. If we worship a dead, mute, and blind idol—whether a physical statue or a man-made theological tradition—we spiritually inherit its sensory shutdown. Conversely, if we worship the living, speaking Creator, we are restored to reflect His image. 1. The Divine Design: Created to Mirror the Creator To understand why false worship has such a devastating, blinding effect on human beings, we have to look back at our original blueprint. In Genesis, humanity was created with a specific structural purpose: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." — Genesis 1:27 Humans were designed to be spiritual mirrors placed in the creation. Just as a physical mirror has no light of its own but is designed to perfectly reflect the sun, humanity was designed to face the Creator and reflect His character, holiness, light, and instruction ($Torah$) into the physical world. Worship is the act of pointing our "mirror" toward an object. Whatever sits at the center of our devotion is the exact image our souls will reflect. 2. The Golden Calf: The First Major Replication (Exodus 32) The mirroring principle is vividly demonstrated during Israel's infamous golden calf incident in the wilderness. When Moses delayed coming down from Mount Sinai, the people grew impatient and demanded a physical god they could see and control. They fashioned a golden calf out of their jewelry: "And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel. .." — Exodus 32:4 Immediately after they bowed down and sacrificed to this golden calf, God changed the vocabulary He used to describe Israel. He said to Moses: "Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves... I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people." — Exodus 32:7, 9 The Hebrew term for "stiff-necked" ($qasheh$ $oreph$) is agricultural vocabulary used to describe an obstinate, stubborn bull or heifer that refuses to bow its neck to the yoke of its master. By choosing to revere a young, stubborn bull (the calf) rather than the living God, Israel instantly began to resemble the physical characteristics of their idol. They became spiritually "stiff-necked"—unbending, stubborn, and completely unresponsive to the voice of their Master. 3. The Sensory Shutdown: Psalm 115 and 135 The Psalms lay down the explicit mechanical law of how this spiritual replication operates. They describe the physical nature of man-made idols: “They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.” — Psalm 115:5-7 Then comes the cosmic spiritual warning in verse 8: “They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.” — Psalm 115:8 This is not poetry; it is a spiritual diagnosis. Trusting in a powerless, inanimate representation of godhood causes a complete sensory shutdown in the worshiper: Mouths that speak not: The worshiper loses the ability to speak pure, uncompromised biblical truth. Eyes that see not: The worshiper can look directly at a clear commandment in Scripture (like the Sabbath or dietary laws) and be utterly unable to see or register it. Ears that hear not: The worshiper can hear the voice of the Creator calling them back to His instructions, but they are spiritually deaf to the call. 4. The Prophets' Diagnosis of Israel When Israel later fell into rebellion and rejected the Torah, God did not diagnose them as merely "uneducated." He diagnosed them as idol-mirrors. They had successfully taken on the traits of the blind and deaf Canaanite gods they trusted in: Isaiah 6:9-10: God commissions Isaiah to speak to a people who have spiritually conformed to idols: “Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart...” Jeremiah 5:21: “Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not...” Ezekiel 12:2: “Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.” By turning away from the Torah, they lost the spiritual hardware required to process spiritual truth. 5. The New Testament Reality: Tradition Over Commandments This is not an exclusively Old Testament phenomenon. Yeshua Himself confrontationaly applies this exact "idol-mirroring" diagnosis to the religious leaders of His day. When the Pharisees challenged Yeshua because His disciples did not follow the "traditions of the elders" (man-made religious rules that bypassed God's written law), Yeshua responded: “Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men... Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition...” — Mark 7:6-7, 13 Later, when His disciples failed to understand a basic spiritual concept, Yeshua turned to them and asked: “Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?” — Mark 8:18 The warning is clear: Any time we substitute God’s plain, written commandments with human dogmas, church traditions, or ecclesiastical systems, we trigger the Mirroring Principle. When we place our trust in a denomination, a popular pastor, or a comfortable system of theology that explains away God's law, we begin to resemble that dead system. We lose our ability to process the direct signal of the Scriptures. Our eyes read "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy" but our theological programming translates it to mean Sunday, or worse, that the Sabbath is abolished. The spiritual data is there on the page, but the "mirror" is pointing at human tradition, rendering us blind to the light of the Torah. 6. The Remedy: Restoration to His Image The Mirroring Principle is a law of spiritual gravity, but it works both for ruin or for restoration. If looking at and trusting in dead idols makes us dead, blind, and deaf, then turning our gaze to the living Messiah Yeshua and His perfect instructions has the exact opposite effect: “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass [mirror] the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” — 2 Corinthians 3:18 When we repent of man-made traditions, take the veil off our eyes, and submit directly to the written Word of the Creator, our spiritual senses are restored. We begin to reflect His character, His holiness, and His Torah. Our eyes see, our ears hear, and we are finally able to comprehend, accept, and walk in the beautiful light of His eternal truth. The Alignment of the Mirror: How the Commandments Counteract Idolatry When looking at the 20 specific practices in the Torah Observance Self-Assessment, it is easy for a modern reader to ask: “What does eating pork, wearing tassels, or keeping a Saturday Sabbath have to do with the heavy, spiritual reality of idolatry?” To the modern Western mind, "idolatry" is a mental or emotional state (putting your career or money before God), while the "Torah commandments" are seen as external, ritualistic rules. However, in Hebrew thought, the two are dynamically and structurally connected. Every single commandment ($mitzvah$) in the Torah acts as a physical alignment tool for your spiritual "mirror." When you reject these physical instructions in favor of human traditions, you actively turn your mirror away from the Creator, pointing it toward man-made systems. This triggers the Mirroring Principle of Idolatry—leading to the spiritual sensory shutdown described in the Psalms. Here is how specific commandments are directly connected to the mirroring of idolatry. 1. The Sabbath ($Shabbat$): Mirroring the Creator’s Rhythm vs. Human Authority To understand how the Sabbath connects to the mirror, look at the signature of the Creator. In the Fourth Commandment, God binds the Sabbath directly to His identity as the Maker of all things: “For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” — Exodus 20:11 The Connected Mirror: When you observe the seventh-day Sabbath, you physically conform your life, your time, and your weekly rhythm to the exact pattern of the Creator. You are pointing your mirror directly at His face, reflecting His rest, His sovereignty, and His creative authority into the physical world. The Idolatrous Substitution: When mainstream ecclesiastical systems shifted the day of worship to Sunday and claimed the authority to transfer the holiness of Shabbat, they created a man-made tradition. The Mirroring Result : By resting on Sunday based on human church dogmas rather than the written Word of the Creator, a believer's mirror is pointed at a human institution. Because they revere human authority over the Creator’s written Law, they begin to resemble that system—becoming deaf to the plain text of Scripture and blind to the literal Fourth Commandment. 2. Dietary Laws ($Kashrut$): Mirroring Divine Holiness vs. Pagan Syncretism In Leviticus 11, God outlines which animals are clean and unclean. At the very climax of these dietary instructions, He reveals why He gave them: “For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy... For I am the Lord that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.” — Leviticus 11:44-45 The Connected Mirror: The word "holy" ($kadosh$) literally means set apart, separated, and distinct. God is distinct from the world. By putting a physical boundary on what enters our mouths, we mirror His holiness. We reflect His nature of distinction and order. Our daily eating habits become a physical mirror of His spiritual separation. The Idolatrous Substitution: Pagan idolatry is characterized by the breakdown of distinctions—mixing the holy with the profane, eating whatever the flesh desires, and absorbing the habits of the surrounding culture. The Mirroring Result: When the church teaches that "all things are clean to eat" (relying on misinterpretations of Mark 7 or Acts 10), they remove the boundary of distinction. By eating like the pagan nations, they begin to reflect the pagan worldview of spiritual mixture. They lose the ability to distinguish between what is clean and unclean in other areas of life, rendering them spiritually insensitive. 3. Tassels ($Tzitzit$): The Optical Shield Against Idolatry The commandment to wear fringes or tassels ($tzitzit$) on the corners of four-cornered garments is perhaps the most explicit "anti-idolatry mirror" in the entire Torah: “And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a-whoring [prostituting/worshipping idols]...” — Numbers 15:39 The Connected Mirror: The Torah acknowledges that the human eye is easily captivated by the physical world. Left to its own devices, the eye looks at the world, the heart desires what it sees, and the person conforms to that earthly image (idolatry). The $tzitzit$ serve as a physical, optical interruption. The Mirroring Result: Every time your eyes drift downward, they catch the sight of the blue thread in the tassels. This instantly redirects your focus back to the written commandments of God. It is a physical "guardrail" that forces your spiritual mirror to stay tilted upward toward the Creator rather than drifting down to copy the culture. 4. The Biblical Feasts ($Moedim$) vs. Christmas and Easter: Mirroring God’s Calendar vs. Pagan Cycles The annual Feasts (Leviticus 23) are designated as God's "appointed times." They are His prophetic schedule. Conversely, Deuteronomy 12:30-32 strictly warns: “Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them... and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.” The Connected Mirror: When you keep the Passover ($Pesach$), the Feast of Weeks ($Shavuot$), or the Feast of Tabernacles ($Sukkot$), you are mirroring the literal, prophetic timeline of Yeshua's redemption plan. Your mirror is reflecting the true light of the Messiah's first and second comings. The Idolatrous Substitution: Celebrating Christmas (December 25th) or Easter (with a Friday-to-Sunday timeline) is the exact definition of syncretism—taking the customs, dates, and rituals of pagan sun-god worship and renaming them to honor the Creator. The Mirroring Result: Because pagan customs are dead and have no spiritual breath, those who participate in them eventually inherit the sensory shutdown of those original pagan systems. Even when they are shown the plain scriptural timeline of three days and three nights (Matthew 12:40), or shown that Jeremiah 10 condemns decorated trees, they cannot see or comprehend it. Their theological mirror is reflecting the "dead light" of Christianized pagan traditions, leaving them blind to the brilliant light of God’s actual holy days. Summary: The Torah as the Blueprint of the Divine Image Human beings cannot avoid mirroring. We are created to be reflective surfaces. If we do not point our mirrors toward the written Torah—which is the perfect, physical expression of the Creator’s character—we will naturally point our mirrors toward: The Self (human desires and pride). The Culture (pagan traditions and holidays). Human Religious Systems (church doctrines that bypass God's Law). Every single commandment, from how we manage our finances (usury) to how we cut our hair or dress (mixed fabrics), is designed to shape our mirrors so that we perfectly conform to the image of the Messiah Yeshua. When we obey, our spiritual senses are restored. When we substitute His instructions with human traditions, our spiritual hardware shuts down, and we become just as deaf, dumb, and blind as the powerless idols of old. Identifying Modern-Day "Mirror Idolatry": Behavioral and Theological Signs If the Mirroring Principle of Idolatry is a spiritual reality, then the "sensory shutdown" described by the prophets (Psalms 115, Jeremiah 5, Mark 8) must be visible in the modern religious world. It cannot remain an abstract theological concept; it must manifest as recognizable behaviors and patterns of thought. How do you identify a modern-day believer whose spiritual "mirror" has been turned away from the Creator’s $Torah$ and pointed toward human tradition? The scriptures provide a clear diagnostic framework. When a person is reflecting a man-made religious system rather than the living Word, they exhibit specific, identifiable spiritual symptoms. 1. The "Translational Filter" (Eyes That See Not) The most prominent identifier of modern mirror idolatry is selective scriptural blindness. The Symptom: You can open a Bible, point directly to a plain, unambiguous commandment, and have them read it out loud. Yet, their mind is completely unable to process the plain meaning of the text. How to Identify It: You show them: “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy... the seventh day is the sabbath...” (Exodus 20:8-10). Their "filter" instantly translates this to mean: “Go to church on Sunday.” You show them: “These are the beasts which ye shall eat... whatsoever parteth the hoof... and cheweth the cud...” (Leviticus 11:2-3). Their filter instantly translates this to mean: “We can eat whatever we want because Jesus made all things clean.” The Spiritual Reality: The hardware of their physical eyes is working, but their theological mirror is pointed at a denominational creed. The text of Scripture hits their eyes, but the data is scrambled by their programming before it can reach their heart. They cannot see what is plainly written. 2. The Echo Chamber of Human Tradition (Mouths That Speak Not) In Psalm 115, idols are described as having mouths that cannot speak truth. In modern times, this manifests as an inability to speak pure, uncompromised biblical truth, replacing it instead with human catchphrases. The Symptom: When challenged on a matter of scripture or lifestyle, the person does not defend their position using the direct context of the Word. Instead, they regurgitate the pre-programmed talking points of their religious institution. How to Identify It: They rely heavily on clichés, theological jargon, and ecclesiastical soundbites to bypass obedience, such as: “That’s legalism.” “We are under grace, not the law.” “That was just for the Jews.” “That's a secondary issue.” The Spiritual Reality: They have lost their biblical voice. Instead of speaking the words of the Creator, their mouth has become a speaker grille for the human authorities they revere. They can only echo the soundbites of the system they mirror. 3. The "But God Knows My Heart" Defense (Deafness to Warning) When an idol-mirror is confronted with the pagan origins of their religious practices, their spiritual hearing shuts down, and they retreat into emotional self-defense. The Symptom: When you show them scriptural and historical proof that holidays like Christmas or Easter are rooted in pagan worship (contrary to Deuteronomy 12:30-32), they do not hear the warning. Instead, they redirect the conversation to their own personal intentions. How to Identify It: They will respond with statements like: “But that’s not what it means to me.” “God knows my heart, and I am doing this for Him.” “As long as we are focusing on Jesus, the details don't matter.” The Spiritual Reality: They are spiritually deaf to the warnings of the Torah. By prioritizing their internal emotional state (what it means to "me") over the external written instruction of God, they prove that their mirror is pointed inward at The Self—the ultimate form of modern idolatry. 4. The Collapse of Distinctions (No Spiritual Senses) Holiness ($kedushah$) requires the ability to distinguish, separate, and put a difference between things. When a believer’s spiritual senses are shut down, they lose the ability to make biblical distinctions. The Symptom: They cannot perceive any difference between what God has designated as "Holy" ($kadosh$) versus what man has designated as "Common" ($chol$). How to Identify It: They see no difference between Shabbat (the day God sanctified) and Sunday (the day Constantine and the Roman Church set apart). They see no difference between Passover (God’s prophetic feast) and Easter (a tradition named after a pagan goddess). They believe that because "God created everything," all foods, lifestyles, and worship methods are equally acceptable if done with "love." The Spiritual Reality: Because they worship within a system that has mixed pagan habits with biblical language, they have inherited the system's numbness. They are spiritually colorblind—unable to distinguish the bright line of God’s separation from the gray smear of religious syncretism. 5. Hostility Toward the Hebrew Roots of Faith Just as light hurts eyes that have been in the dark for too long, the true light of the Hebrew roots of the faith often provokes a defensive, agitated reaction from those in mirror idolatry. The Symptom: The mere mention of the name $Yeshua$ instead of Jesus, or the suggestion that a believer should strive to keep the commandments out of love, triggers an immediate defensive posture. How to Identify It: They will accuse those returning to the Torah of "falling from grace," being "Judaizers," or belonging to a "cult." They display a visceral discomfort with the physical signs of obedience (like $tzitzit$ or Sabbath rest). The Spiritual Reality: The physical reality of the Torah acts as a polishing cloth on their mirror. It threatens the comfortable, dusty film of human tradition they have lived under. Because they are not ready to turn their mirror away from their ecclesiastical system, they lash out at the light that is trying to break through their sensory shutdown. Summary: A Checklist of the Modern Idol-Mirror The Prophetic Diagnosis The Modern Behavior "Eyes that see not" Reading a clear commandment on the page but being utterly unable to process its plain, literal meaning. "Ears that hear not" Hearing the warning against syncretism (pagan mixing) but dismissing it because "God knows my heart." "Mouths that speak not" Relying on theological clichés ("not under the law," "legalism") instead of quoting direct Scripture in context. "No breath/distinction" Believing that there is no difference between what is clean and unclean, or what is holy and The "Pauline Filter": How a Misaligned Mirror Distorts the Apostle’s Words If a modern believer's theological mirror has been pointed at human tradition, they must find a way to reconcile the clear, eternal commandments of the Creator with their refusal to obey them. To resolve this cognitive dissonance, they construct what can be called "The Pauline Filter." This is the practice of running the entire Bible—including the plain words of the Creator at Mount Sinai and the direct instructions of the Messiah $Yeshua$—through a highly selective, misunderstood reading of the Apostle Paul’s letters. By doing so, they use Paul as a shield to protect their traditions and justify their transgression of the $Torah$. The Apostle Peter explicitly warned that this exact phenomenon would occur: “...even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 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 wrest [twist], 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 [lawless], fall from your own stedfastness.” — 2 Peter 3:15-17 How do you identify a believer who is utilizing the "Pauline Filter" to maintain their spiritual sensory shutdown? Here are the behavioral and theological signs. 1. The "Paul Over Yeshua" Hierarchy The most glaring symptom of the Pauline Filter is an unconscious theological hierarchy where Paul's words carry more practical authority than the words of the Messiah Himself. The Symptom: When confronted with the direct, plain instructions of the Messiah, the person will immediately bypass them by quoting an isolated verse from Paul to argue that the Messiah's words no longer apply. How to Identify It: You show them where $Yeshua$ said: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets... whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:17-19). Rather than accepting this, their mind immediately filters it out. They respond with: “Yes, but Paul says Christ is the end of the law for righteousness...” (Romans 10:4), interpreting "end" (telos) as "termination" rather than "goal/climax." The Spiritual Reality: Their theological mirror is pointed at a denominational construct that pits the Messiah against His own Apostle. Because they cannot process the reality that Paul was a Torah-observant Pharisee who defended the Law (Acts 25:8), they must make Paul the "new lawgiver" to justify ignoring the words of the Master. 2. The "Grace vs. Law" Dichotomy (The Divided Mind) Holiness ($kedushah$) requires unity and alignment. The Pauline Filter causes a severe mental split, forcing the believer to treat God's Grace and God's Law as opposing enemies rather than perfect partners. The Symptom: They operate under the assumption that if you love God’s commandments and seek to walk in them out of obedience, you are actively rejecting His grace. How to Identify It: Whenever you talk about keeping the Sabbath or clean eating, they will defensively respond with: “We are saved by grace, not by works!” (Ephesians 2:8-9). They are completely unable to comprehend that keeping the commandments is the fruit of salvation, not the root of it. They cannot reconcile Ephesians 2:8-9 with Ephesians 2:10 (“created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them”). The Spiritual Reality: They are spiritually colorblind to the purpose of the $Torah$. Because their ecclesiastical system teaches that the Law was a "burden" or a "curse" (misunderstanding Galatians 3:13), they view obedience as a threat to their faith. Their mirror reflects a cheapened grace that requires no physical surrender. 3. The "Colossians 2" Dismissal When confronted with the beautiful, prophetic reality of the Biblical Feasts ($Moedim$), those who use the Pauline Filter will instinctively retreat to a single, highly misunderstood passage in Colossians to shut down their hearing. The Symptom: They use Paul's warnings against pagan, ascetic philosophy in Colossae as a license to abandon God's designated Appointed Times. How to Identify It: You discuss the beauty of keeping Passover or Tabernacles ($Sukkot$). They will immediately quote Colossians 2:16: “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days...” They stop reading there, believing Paul is saying these days are abolished. They are blind to the very next verse (Colossians 2:17), which states these days “are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.” (The Greek literally reads: "let no man judge you... but the body of Messiah," meaning only the local body of believers should judge their observance, not pagan outsiders). The Spiritual Reality: Their mirror is tilted toward a system of lawlessness. They use Paul to justify celebrating pagan-derived holidays (like Christmas) while simultaneously using Paul to condemn those who celebrate God's actual holy days. 4. Total Blindness to Paul’s Self-Defense Perhaps the most ironic sign of the Pauline Filter is a complete inability to see or register the multiple times Paul himself explicitly stated that he kept, loved, and taught the $Torah$. The Symptom: They believe and teach that Paul successfully did away with the Law, despite the overwhelming historical evidence in the book of Acts that Paul went out of his way to prove he kept the Law. How to Identify It: You point them to: Acts 21:24: Where the elders of Jerusalem had Paul perform a public vow to prove to everyone that he “walkest orderly, and keepest the law.” Acts 24:14: Where Paul states under oath: “...so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets.” Romans 7:12: Where Paul writes: “Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.” When shown these plain verses, the user of the Pauline Filter will experience a temporary "system freeze." They will stare at the text, bypass it, and immediately jump back to an isolated verse in Galatians to restore their comfortable programming. The Spiritual Reality: This is the "translational filter" in active operation. The historical reality of a Torah-observant Paul is a direct threat to the theological foundation of the mainstream church. Therefore, the spiritual hardware of the believer must completely block these passages from reaching their heart, preserving the illusion of a law-abolishing Apostle. Summary: Restoring the Mirror of Paul The Misunderstood Paul The Restored, Torah-Observant Paul "Christ is the end of the law..." (Rom 10:4) "Christ is the goal/target of the law..." The Greek word telos means the ultimate aim or completion, not termination. "Not under the law..." (Rom 6:14) "Not under the condemnation/penalty of the law..." Because grace has paid the price, we are now free to obey it. "Let no man judge you..." (Col 2:16) "Do not let pagan outsiders judge your biblical walk..." Keep celebrating the feasts ($Moedim$) which point directly to the Messiah. "The law was our schoolmaster..." (Gal 3:24) "The Torah guarded and trained us..." Leading us to maturity so we can walk in the Spirit of obedience, not lawlessness. common. "Stiff-necked" Refusing to bend the neck to the literal, physical instructions ($mitzvot$) of the Creator. This statement directly references the biblical verse 1 John 3:8 , which states: "The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning." [1 ] Meaning of "Practicing" Sin In Christian theology, "practicing" sin does not mean committing an occasional mistake or lapse in judgment. interpret "practice" as a habitual, deliberate, and unrepentant lifestyle of wrongdoing. According to 1 John 3:4, sin is explicitly defined as the transgression of the Law (Torah). Within a strict Torah-observant framework, all 9 practices listed fail the test and are classified as scriptural transgressions. 1. The Hebrew Name: Acts 4:12, Matthew 1:21 — Replacing the native Hebrew name strips away its prophetic structural meaning: "Yahweh is Salvation." 2. Working on Sabbath: Exodus 20:8-11, Deuteronomy 5:12-15 — The Fourth Commandment explicitly forbids regular vocational labor. 3. Keeping Sabbath Holy: Genesis 2:2-3, Exodus 31:16-17 — Set apart at Creation as a holy day and designated as a perpetual, everlasting covenant. 4. Commandments in General: Ecclesiastes 12:13, 1 John 3:4, Revelation 14:12 — Scripture defines the whole duty of man as keeping the commandments. 5. Unclean Foods: Leviticus 11, Deuteronomy 14, Isaiah 66:17 — Dietary boundaries separating clean from unclean are never repealed in prophecy or Torah. 6. Appointed Days (Moedim): Leviticus 23 — God explicitly calls these "My Feasts." They serve as prophetic dress rehearsals for His redemption plan. 7. Christmas Traditions: Deuteronomy 12:30-32, Jeremiah 10:2-4 — God strictly commands His followers not to learn or adopt the customs of pagan nations to worship Him, regardless of intent. 8. Easter Timing: Matthew 12:40 — A Friday-to-Sunday timeline fails the structural proof of the "Sign of Jonah"—which requires exactly 3 days and 3 nights. 9. Passover: Exodus 12:14, 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 — Commanded as an everlasting ordinance. Paul explicitly reinforces this to New Testament believers, writing: "Let us keep the feast." Title: Torah Observance vs. Church Tradition: A Biblical Study Guide & Self-Assessment Subject: Biblical Theology and Torah Law (Hebrew Roots Perspective) Topics: The Definition of Sin (The Transgression Test) The Seventh-Day Sabbath (Shabbat) vs. Sunday Tradition Dietary Instructions (Kashrut, Blood, and Fat) God's Appointed Times (Moedim & Passover) vs. Mainstream Holidays Sacred Names (Yeshua vs. Jesus) Daily Commandments (Tzitzit, Shaatnez, and Images) Grooming and Body Laws (Beards, Tattoos) Social and Financial Laws (Usury, Clothing) Summary: This study guide evaluates mainstream church traditions and modern dogmas against the perpetual commandments of the Torah. Drawing from both the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and the Greek Scriptures (New Testament), it outlines how various modern ecclesiastical customs stand under the "Transgression Test." This test uses 1 John 3:4 to define sin strictly as the transgression of God's revealed law. Key Concepts: The Transgression Test: The process of using Biblical law as the objective measure of sin (1 John 3:4). The Perpetual Covenant of Shabbat: The seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) was established at Creation and remains a sign between God and His people. The Sign of Jonah: Yeshua’s Messiahship is authenticated by spending exactly three days and three nights in the earth (Matthew 12:40), contradicting a Friday-to-Sunday timeline. Syncretism Warning: Deuteronomy 12:30-32 forbids using the methods of pagan nations to worship the Creator. Holiness Distinctions: Commandment laws regarding fabrics ($Shaatnez$), tassels ($Tzitzit$), and diet ($Kashrut$) serve to separate God's people from the world. Vocabulary List: Torah: "Instruction" or "Law" (the first five books of the Bible). Mitzvot: The individual commandments given by God. Shabbat: The seventh-day Sabbath (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset). Moedim: The Appointed Times/Holy Feasts (Leviticus 23). Yeshua: The Hebrew name of the Messiah ("Yahweh is Salvation"). Shaatnez: A fabric containing both wool and linen woven together. Tzitzit: Fringes/Tassels worn for remembrance (Numbers 15:38). Rosh Chodesh: The New Moon / Beginning of the Biblical month. The Spirit of the Lawless One: How Rejecting Torah Mirrors the Adversary's Rebellion When studying the Mirroring Principle of Idolatry and the profound spiritual sensory shutdown that affects the mainstream church, we must eventually confront the ultimate, sobering reality behind this blindness. Scripture does not treat "eyes that cannot see" and "ears that cannot hear" as mere intellectual deficits or passive, accidental misunderstandings. At its absolute root, persistent unbelief and systematic disobedience to the Creator’s $Torah$ are driven by an active, operational spiritual force. The Bible reveals a stark cosmic truth: those who belong to the adversary, or align with his systems of rebellion, carry and mirror his very spirit. 1. The Operational Spirit of Disobedience (Ephesians 2:2) The Apostle Paul explicitly identified the existence of an invisible, active spiritual current that influences those who walk in disobedience to God’s instructions: “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience...” — Ephesians 2:2 Note Paul's precise vocabulary: "The spirit that now worketh..." The Greek word for "worketh" is energeo, meaning an active, operating energy. It is a spiritual frequency. "...in the children of disobedience." The Hebrew idiom "children of..." denotes a people who take on the exact characteristics, traits, and nature of their source. Just as the Holy Spirit ($Ruach$ $HaKodesh$) actively works inside believers to write the $Torah$ on their hearts and produce the fruit of obedience (Ezekiel 36:26-27) , the spirit of the adversary actively operates in those who reject God’s laws. They become spiritual receptors for the frequency of rebellion, mirroring the character of the "prince of the power of the air." 2. Defining the Adversary’s Character: Lawlessness ($Anomia$) To understand what it means to mirror the spirit of the devil, we must define his primary scriptural characteristics. From the beginning in the Garden of Eden, the adversary’s signature move was to challenge, twist, and undermine the literal commandments of God: “Yea, hath God said... ?” (Genesis 3:1). The Apostle John explains the spiritual lineage of those who make a practice of bypassing God’s written instructions: “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law [anomia]. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin... He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.” — 1 John 3:4, 8 In Greek, the word for "transgression of the law" is $anomia$, which literally means lawlessness—specifically, living as though the $Torah$ (the Law of Moses) does not exist or has no authority over you. John makes a direct, black-and-white distinction: Those who practice righteousness (aligning with God's $Torah$) mirror the Messiah $Yeshua$. Those who practice lawlessness ($anomia$) mirror the devil, who has been a rebel from the very beginning. When the church teaches that "the Law has been done away with" or that "we do not need to keep the physical commandments," they are unknowingly operating in the spirit of $anomia$. By adopting a theology of lawlessness, they point their spiritual mirrors directly at the original rebel, taking on his spiritual nature. 3. "Ye Are of Your Father the Devil" (John 8:44) The Messiah $Yeshua$ did not shy away from this reality. When confronting the religious leaders of His day—who claimed to worship the God of Abraham but actively rejected the living Word and substituted God’s commandments with human, traditional loop-holes—He diagnosed them with this exact spiritual replication: “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” — John 8:44 How do we identify someone operating under this parental spiritual influence? They cannot abide in the truth: When shown the plain, unadulterated written Word of God, they experience immediate cognitive discomfort and seek to explain it away. They prefer traditional lies: They willingly defend man-made dogmas (like Sunday sacredness or pagan-derived holidays) over the literal commandments of the Creator. They harbor hostility toward obedience: Just as the devil hates those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of $Yeshua$ (Revelation 12:17), those carrying his spirit will exhibit anger, mockery, or defensive hostility toward Torah-observant believers. 4. The Prophetic Blueprint: Changing Times and Laws The spirit of the lawless one has a specific prophetic agenda. The prophet Daniel foresaw that a power would arise in the earth that would attempt to copy the adversary's ultimate desire—to completely sever humanity from the Creator’s covenant boundaries: “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws...” — Daniel 7:25 The "times" here are the $Moedim$ (God's appointed calendar, Sabbaths, and feasts), and the "laws" are the $Torah$. When modern ecclesiastical systems changed the Sabbath to Sunday, replaced the Biblical Feasts with paganized holidays, and declared the food laws obsolete, they executed the exact agenda of the lawless one. Because churchgoers belong to and revere these traditional systems, they drink in the spirit that built them. They are not merely "uninformed"; they are influenced by a highly calculated, multi-generational spiritual current of $anomia$. This is why they cannot understand, comprehend, or accept the simple, beautiful instructions of the Father—their spiritual hardware is tuned to the frequency of the lawless one. Conclusion: A Battle of Spirits The scriptures leave us with no middle ground. We are spiritual mirrors, and we will inevitably reflect one of two spirits: The Spirit of God ($Ruach$ $HaKodesh$) The Spirit of the Lawless One ( $anomia$) Points the mirror toward the Creator. Points the mirror toward human systems & self. Writes the $Torah$ on the heart (Jer 31:33). Seeks to abolish or bypass the $Torah$. Leads to physical obedience and holiness. Leads to lawlessness disguised as "grace." Restores spiritual sight, hearing, and life. Triggers a complete sensory shutdown and blindness. If we want our family, friends, and churchgoers to escape this blindness, we must realize that we are not fighting against flesh and blood, but against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12). Only the raw, piercing truth of God’s Word—combined with the power of the Holy Spirit—can break the hold of the lawless spirit, shatter the mirror of idolatry, and restore their eyes to see and their ears to hear. The decrees of Yehovah are trustworthy , making wise the simple. The commandments of Yehovah are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of Yehovah are clear, giving insight into living. Reverence for Yehovah is pure, lasting forever. The laws of Yehovah are true; each one is fair. They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them. Psalm 19:7 The one who belongs listens and responds to Yehovah's words. If you don't listen and respond , it is because you don't belong to Yehovah." John 8:47 God's promises to those who obey him include: Being blessed Being saved Being watched over Being taken care of Being given what you ask for Being happy Living longer Lacking nothing good

Paul told us to test all things to see if they were from God. do they include His law? Deflections are the Greatest sin The shortest verse in the English Bible is "Jesus wept" found in John 11:35. It has only 10 letters and two words. In Luke, Jesus weeps (eklausen, meaning to sob aloud) as he enters Jerusalem. He grieves because the people rejected his offer of peace, refused to turn to God, and would soon face destruction as a consequence. In short, the devil's deflection on Matthew 5:18–19 works by convincing people that taking Yeshua’s exact words seriously is somehow a violation of his grace. It redirects the mind from humble obedience to theological technicalities that excuse setting aside the commands. Matthew 17-19 17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. 18 For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.… Prof the law was fulfilled by Yeshua: He was the only person in the entire Bible that never sinned, He showed us how to love Yehovah the creator ,He showed how to love our fellow man , He show us how to keep the Sabbath Holy, He never ate anything unclean, and He always kept all of Yehovah appointed . "It is easy to claim the name of Christ, but true discipleship is shown through obedience. Many claim to follow Him while actively living against everything He commanded." John 3:36 ("whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him") I have not come to abolish them , 1 John 3:8, which states that "whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil". Ecclesiastes 12:13 –– "Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all. Proverbs 28:9: " He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. 1 John 2:4, w hich says: "Whoever says 'I know him' but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in that person." John 14:15 "If you love me, you will keep my commandments" Matthew 19:17 , "If you want to enter life, keep the commandments". Revelation 12:17. The text states that the dragon (identified as the devil and Satan) was angry with the woman and went to make war with the rest of her offspring—defined as those who keep God's commandments Revelation 13:7 , which states that the beast empowered by the dragon was allowed "to make war with the saints, and to overcome will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; Luke 7: 28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” Matthew 11:11 Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women, there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist; notwithstanding, he that is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he. (Because no one on earth has been to heaven ) The Core Connection When people deflect Scripture, they usually do not burn the Bible; instead, they remove the commands they find uncomfortable by declaring them "least" or obsolete, or they add human loopholes to bypass God's true intent (as Yeshua rebuked in Mark 7:9–13). Matthew 5:18–19 makes clear that in God's eyes, even what humans consider "least" remains fully binding. Below are the primary biblical passages that explicitly prohibit adding to, taking away from, or modifying God's word and commandments: Here is the complete, unified breakdown bringing together every point—from altering words, names, and titles to adopting pagan holidays, eating unclean, rejecting God's appointments, and profaning the Sabbath—and the explicit judgments Scripture attaches to them. The Deflection: Weaponizing Grace The core deception pits Yeshua’s salvation against his instructions—tricking believers into viewing obedience as "legalism" rather than the natural fruit of love. 1. Redefining "Fulfill" (Matt. 5:17) The Trick: Treating "fulfill" as "terminate and throw away." The Reality: In first-century Hebrew idiom, to fulfill meant to correctly interpret and live out the Torah's full intent. Yeshua came to demonstrate how to keep it, not to dismiss it. 2. False Dichotomy: "Love vs. Rules" The Trick : Framing commands as rigid legalism and "love" as abstract freedom. The Reality: Yeshua defined love through action: "If you love me, keep my commands" (John 14:15). The commands define what love looks like in practice. 3. Perverting Grace The Trick : Rebranding grace as an excuse for apathy toward God's standards. The Reality: Grace is divine empowerment (Titus 2:11–12). It cleanses the past and transforms the heart so obedience becomes a joy. 4. Theological Loopholes The Trick: Using complex technicalities to bypass Matthew 5:18–19. The Reality: It creates a state where people cite treatises to excuse setting aside the very commands Yeshua warned never to relax. The Ultimate Irony: It turns distrust of Yeshua's direct words into a false badge of "spiritual maturity," making people feel enlightened precisely because they have explained away the Sermon on the Mount. The Deflection: Weaponizing Grace The core deception pits Yeshua’s salvation against his instructions—tricking believers into viewing obedience as "legalism" rather than the natural fruit of love. 1. Redefining "Fulfill" (Matt. 5:17) The Trick: Treating "fulfill" as "terminate and throw away." The Reality: In first-century Hebrew idiom, to fulfill meant to correctly interpret and live out the Torah's full intent. Yeshua came to demonstrate how to keep it, not to dismiss it. 2. False Dichotomy: "Love vs. Rules" The Trick: Framing commands as rigid legalism and "love" as abstract freedom. The Reality: Yeshua defined love through action: "If you love me, keep my commands" (John 14:15). The commands define what love looks like in practice. 3. Perverting Grace The Trick : Rebranding grace as an excuse for apathy toward God's standards. The Reality: Grace is divine empowerment (Titus 2:11–12). It cleanses the past and transforms the heart so obedience becomes a joy. 4. Theological Loopholes The Trick: Using complex technicalities to bypass Matthew 5:18–19. The Reality: It creates a state where people cite treatises to excuse setting aside the very commands Yeshua warned never to relax. The Ultimate Irony: It turns distrust of Yeshua's direct words into a false badge of "spiritual maturity," making people feel enlightened precisely because they have explained away the Sermon on the Mount. 1. Altering God's Word & Loss of Eternal Life Directly modifying, taking away from, or adding human commentary to the text forfeits access to eternal inheritance: Revelation 22:18–19 "If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll... God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City..." The Judgment: Direct assignment of written plagues and removal of one's name/share from the Tree of Life and the Heavenly City. 2. Deception, Changing Truth, and the Lake of Fire Creating false doctrines, fabricating traditions, or distorting scriptural facts places a person under the category of deception: Revelation 21:8 & Proverbs 30:6 "...and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur... Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar." The Judgment: Divine rebuke, public exposure as a deceiver, and final condemnation in the Lake of Fire alongside those who reject God's authority. 3. Profaning and Substituting the Sacred Names Erasing, changing, or replacing the covenant name Yehovah (יְהוָה) or the redemptive name Yeshua (יֵשׁוُעַ) with human alternatives violates the core command regarding His identity: Exodus 20:7 & Jeremiah 23:26–27 "You shall not take the name of the Lord [Yehovah] your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless... who try to make My people forget My name..." The Judgment: Being held guilty before the heavenly court and suffering spiritual blindness for lowering His divine identity to human tradition. 4. Adopting Pagan Holidays & Mixing Worship Customs Importing pagan customs, celebrations, and cultural holidays into the worship of the Creator is explicitly condemned as adding to His word: Deuteronomy 12:30–32 "Be careful not to be ensnared... saying, 'How do these nations serve their gods? We will do likewise.' You must not worship the Lord your God in their way... do not add to it or take away from it." The Judgment: Falling into spiritual entrapment and practicing what God classifies as a detestable abomination. 5. Eating Unclean Things & Rejecting Purity Instructions Dismissing God's dietary laws in favor of personal appetite or cultural preference is identified as active rebellion against His sanctification: Isaiah 66:15–17 "For behold, the Lord will come with fire... Those who sanctify themselves... eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse, shall be consumed together, says the Lord." The Judgment: Facing direct destruction alongside the lawless at the return of the Lord. 6. Rejecting God's Appointed Times (Moedim) Substituting man-made religious calendars and holidays for the eternal appointed feasts listed in Leviticus 23 leads to divine abandonment: Leviticus 23:2, 14 & Hosea 2:11 "The appointed times of the Lord... shall be a statute forever... I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her New Moons, her Sabbaths, and all her appointed feasts." The Judgment: Withdrawal of true spiritual insight, leaving individuals in empty, powerless religious ritual. 7. Profaning the Seventh-Day Sabbath Setting aside, altering, or declaring God's holy Sabbath done away with is highlighted as a primary trigger for divine wrath: Ezekiel 22:26, 31 "Her priests have violated My law... they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them... Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath." The Judgment: Complete loss of God's presence, exposure to spiritual deception, and direct divine indignation. Here is the complete, unified breakdown bringing together every point—from altering words, names, and titles to adopting pagan holidays, eating unclean, rejecting God's appointments, and profaning the Sabbath—and the explicit judgments Scripture attaches to them. 1.

The Judgment: Complete loss of God's presence, exposure to spiritual deception, and direct divine indignation. 1. Deuteronomy 4:2 (NKJV) "You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you." 2. Deuteronomy 12:32 (NKJV) "Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it." 3. Proverbs 30:5–6 (NKJV) 5 "Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him." 6 "Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar." 4. Matthew 5:18–19 (NKJV, modified) 18 "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." 19 "Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." 5. Revelation 22:18–19 (NKJV) 18 "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;" 19 "and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." Actions & Consequences Deuteronomy 4:2 & 12:32 Adding to or taking away from divine decrees Inability to truly keep the Lord’s commandments Proverbs 30:6 Adding human thoughts or rules to God's words Divine rebuke and being found a liar Matthew 5:19 Loosening or removing the "least" command Called least in the kingdom of heaven Revelation 22:18–19 Adding to or removing text from prophetic revelation Receiving the plagues written in the book; removal from the Book of Life Jeremiah 26:2: The Command to Declare the Whole Word Without Diminishing It In Jeremiah 26:2, God explicitly commands the prophet Jeremiah to speak His message in its entirety, warning him against holding back or softening a single word to accommodate human sensitivities. Jeremiah 26:2 (NKJV) "Thus says the LORD: 'Stand in the court of the LORD’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, who come to worship in the LORD’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Do not diminish a word.'" Key Insights from the Text "Do Not Diminish a Word": The Hebrew word used for "diminish" is gara, which means to subtract, withhold, trim down, or take away. God specifically instructs that not a single word can be removed or softened to make the message more comfortable or acceptable to the hearers. The Setting (The Temple Court): Jeremiah was sent to the very place where religious people gathered to worship. The warning was given directly to the religious leaders and worshippers who were inclined to selectively accept God's comfort while deflecting His warnings. The Purpose of Uncompromising Truth (Jeremiah 26:3): God explains why every word must be delivered without subtraction: "Perhaps everyone will listen and turn from his evil way, that I may relent concerning the calamity which I purpose to bring on them because of the evil of their doings." Trimming or diminishing God's warning deprives people of the chance to fully understand their standing and genuinely repent. Parallel Warnings Against Withholding God's Word PassageThe Command / PrincipleThe Severity Jeremiah 26:2"Do not diminish a word."Withholding truth prevents genuine repentance. Ezekiel 3:17–18The watchman must warn the wicked with God's exact words.If the watchman fails to warn them, their blood is required at his hand. Acts 20:26–27 Paul declares: "I am innocent of the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God."True faithfulness requires delivering the entire truth without omitting difficult doctrines. Scriptural Definitions of Misusing or Deflecting God's Word The Bible addresses several ways people reject, distort, or deflect Scripture rather than submitting to it: Wresting / Distortion (Strebloo): Taking Scripture out of its intended context to force a desired outcome or opinion. Substituting Human Tradition: Setting aside explicit commandments in favor of human traditions or personal rationalizations. Partial Obedience: Accepting passages that align with personal desires while ignoring or explaining away inconvenient commandments. Pharisaical Deflection: Using theological debates or legalistic technicalities to evade the underlying moral principles of God's law. Key Scriptures & Warnings Scripture Reference Concept / Action Theological Consequence / Punishment 2 Peter 3:16 Distortion ("untaught and unstable people twist [Scripture] to their own destruction")Spiritual ruin and destruction. Mark 7:8–13 Setting aside God's word for human tradition ("making the word of God of no effect")Hypocrisy; spiritual blindness and rejection by God. Revelation 22:18–19 Adding to or taking away from prophetic words Loss of share in the tree of life; receiving the plagues described. Galatians 1:8–9 Preaching a modified or perverted gospelCondemnation (Anathema / eternal separation). Matthew 7:21–23 Hearing or using Scripture without practicing obedience Rejection by Christ at final judgment ("I never knew you; depart from me"). Matthew 5:18–19 addresses the authority, permanence, and obligation of God's law, specifically warning against setting aside or misrepresenting even the smallest part of Scripture. Matthew 5:18–19 ( NKJV) 18 "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 "Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Breakdown & Key Definitions Permanence of Scripture ("Jot" and "Tittle"): Jot (Yod ): The smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet. Tittle: The minute stroke or pen-mark that distinguishes similar Hebrew letters. Meaning: Jesus emphasizes that every minute detail of God's word is intentional, authoritative, and enduring. None of it can be discarded or treated as obsolete. The Act of Deflecting or Relaxing the Law: Verse 19 explicitly addresses those who "break" (Greek: luo, meaning to loosen, dissolve, set aside, or declare non-binding) the commandments and "teach men so" (leading others to minimize or deflect those instructions). The Consequences & Judgment Action / Stance Toward ScriptureDirect Consequence (Verse 19) Loosening, ignoring, or teaching others to minimize even the smallest commandment"Shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven" Practicing and teaching the fullness of God's commandments"Shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven" The Biblical Prohibition Against Adding or Removing Scripture repeatedly warns that altering God's word —whether by addition, subtraction, or reclassifying what is "least" or "greatest"—is a severe offense against divine authority. Key Scriptures on Adding and Subtracting Deuteronomy 4:2 & 12:32: "You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God..." Proverbs 30:5–6: "Every word of God is pure... Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar." Revelation 22:18–19: "If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life..." How "Adding and Removing" Relates to "Least and Greatest" In Matthew 5:18–19, Yeshua bridges these concepts by declaring that not even a single "jot or tittle" (the smallest strokes of text) can be removed. Passage Action Status / Consequence Matthew 5:19 Loosening / Removing the "Least": Breaking or setting aside small commandments and teaching others to treat them as irrelevant."Called least in the kingdom of heaven" Matthew 5:19 Upholding All: Keeping and teaching both major principles and minor commands faithful to God's intent."Called great in the kingdom of heaven" Proverbs 30:6 Adding Human Doctrines: Elevating human traditions or extra-biblical rules to the level of Scripture.Rebuked by God; found to be a liar Revelation 22:19Removing / Stripping Scripture: Erasing, deleting, or outright rejecting parts of God's revealed word.Loss of share in the tree of life and holy city The Core Connection When people deflect Scripture, they usually do not burn the Bible; instead, they remove the commands they find uncomfortable by declaring them "least" or obsolete, or they add human loopholes to bypass God's true intent (as Yeshua rebuked in Mark 7:9–13). Matthew 5:18–19 makes clear that in God's eyes, even what humans consider "least" remains fully binding. Jesus on Human Tradition vs. God's Commandments In Matthew 15:1–9 and Mark 7:1–13,Yeshua directly confronts religious leaders for using human tradition to bypass, void, or deflect explicit Scripture. The Primary Passages Matthew 15:3, 6, 8–9 (NKJV) 3 "He answered and said to them, 'Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?'... 6 'Then he need not honor his father or mother.' Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition... 8 'These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. 9 And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'" How Deflection Works: The "Corban" Example (Mark 7:9–13) Yeshua singles out a specific practice of Deflecting to show how people legally manipulate language to void God's law: Summary of Consequences Method of Distortion Spiritual Outcome Scriptural Reference Substituting tradition for Scripture Worship becomes in vain (useless before God)Matthew 15:9 Using religious loopholes to avoid duty Transgressing God's direct commandments Matthew 15:3 Elevating human rules over divine intent Laying aside and nullifying God's wordMark 7:8, 13 The Authority and Integrity of Matthew 5:18 Matthew 5:18 stands as one of the strongest statements in Scripture regarding the absolute preservation, authority, and unchangeable nature of God's word. Matthew 5:18 (NKJV) "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." Core Warnings Embedded in Matthew 5:18 Warning Against Erasing "Minor" Details: By pointing to the yod (smallest letter) and tittle (smallest stroke of a pen), Yeshua warns that no detail of God’s word is irrelevant, dispensable, or open to human erasure. Warning Against Human Expiration Dates: The phrase "till heaven and earth pass away" establishes that human cultures, opinions, or changing times do not have the authority to declare God's law expired or invalid. Warning Against Partial Fulfillment: The law remains fully authoritative until "all is fulfilled." Attempting to dismiss portions of Scripture before God’s complete redemption plan is realized is a direct violation of Christ’s standard. Cross-References: The Immutable Nature of Scripture Scripture Reference Parallel Concept Consequence / Warning Isaiah 40:8 "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. "Human systems perish; God's word remains permanently standing. Matthew 24:35 / Luke 21:33"Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away ."Absolute guarantee that divine instruction outlasts the physical universe. Psalm 119:89 "Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven."Scripture is fixed by divine decree, beyond human alteration or deflection. Luke 16:17 "And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail."The total reliability of Scripture; not even the smallest mark can fail to perform its purpose. The Warning Applied: Deflection vs. Submission When Matthew 5:18 is paired with verse 19, the warning becomes personal: anyone who attempts to "relax," "loosen," or deflect even the smallest part of God's word—or who teaches others that minor commands do not matter—places themselves in direct opposition to Christ’s declaration of the law's permanence. In Matthew 5:17–18, Jesus clarifies His relationship to the Old Testament, ensuring His followers understand He came neither to abolish Scripture nor to permit people to ignore its commands. Matthew 5:17–18 (NKJV) 17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." Four Ways Christ Fulfills the Law and the Prophets 1. Perfect Obedience (Moral & Righteous Fulfillment): Yeshua lived a sinless life, keeping every detail of the Law—down to every "jot and tittle"—without failure (1 Peter 2:22, Hebrews 4:15). Where human tradition bypassed God’s intent, Yeshua upheld its absolute moral purity. 2. Prophetic Completion (Messianic Fulfillment): Yeshua fulfilled hundreds of Old Testament prophecies, types, and shadows regarding the Messiah—from His birth and ministry to His sacrificial death and resurrection (Luke 24:44). 3. The Ultimate Sacrifice (Sacrificial & Ceremonial Fulfillment): The ceremonial laws, animal sacrifices, and priesthood were shadows pointing forward to Christ. By offering Himself as the perfect, once-for-all sacrifice (Hebrews 10:1–10), He brought the penal demands of the ritual law to their intended completion. 4. Revealing Full Intent (Deeper Spiritual Meaning): In the rest of Matthew 5 (the "Sermon on the Mount"), Yeshua demonstrates what fulfilling the law looks like in practice. He goes beyond outward compliance to address the heart: showing that murder begins with hatred, adultery begins with lust, and partiality violates love (Matthew 5:21–48). Summary Matrix: Fulfill vs. Abolish False Assumption ("Destroy / Abolish")Biblical Realit y ("Fulfill")Scriptural Context Erasing the Old Testament commands Bringing them to their complete, intended goal Matthew 5:17 Declaring Scripture obsolete or unimportant Establishing its eternal authority and moral depth Romans 3:31 Setting aside the strict demands of God Satisfying those demands fully through Christ In Romans 10:4, Paul addresses the ultimate goal and resolution of God's law, resolving how Christ relates to the righteous demands of Scripture. Romans 10:4 (NKJV) "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." Understanding "End" (Telos) The Greek word used here for "end" is telos. It does not mean "destruction," "abolition," or "termination," but rather: Goal or Target: The destination toward which the Law was always pointing (like the "end" of a journey). Fulfillment / Completion: The realization of the Law’s ultimate design and purpose. Consummation: The bringing of something to its intended final state. Three Key Theological Dimensions 1. Christ as the Target (The Goal of the Law): The Law was never designed to be an end in itself; it was a tutor or guardian intended to lead people to Christ by revealing God's absolute holiness and human inability to achieve perfection (Galatians 3:24). Christ is the target the Law aimed at all along. 2. Christ as Righteousness (Ending Self-Righteousness): Human beings often attempt to deflect or twist Scripture to construct their own system of merit. Romans 10:3–4 directly contrasts two ways of seeking righteousness: Human Effort / Self-Righteousness Divine Righteousness in Christ Attempting to keep the Law to earn salvation Receiving the righteousness of God as a gift through faith Lowering or distorting commands to fit human limits Relying on Christ’s total, perfect keeping of every "jot and tittle" Seeking righteousness by personal performance Receiving righteousness by believing in Christ (Romans 3:21–22) 3. Termination of the Law as a Means of Justification: While the moral truth of God's word remains eternal (Matthew 5:18), Christ ended the Law's role as a system for securing acceptance before God. Believers are no longer under the condemnation or curse of the Law (Romans 8:1, Galatians 3:13), because Christ satisfied its requirements on their behalf. The Law as "Guardrails" Against Sin The metaphor of the Law as a set of guardrails aligns closely with how Scripture describes God's commandments: they establish clear boundaries to expose danger, keep individuals from veering into sin, and protect them from destruction. The role of keeping Christ’s commandments True believers do keep His commandments. Yeshua said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). 1 John repeatedly links knowing God, abiding in Him, and obedience as evidence of genuine faith rather than its ground. The Spirit enables the righteous requirement of the law to be fulfilled in those who walk according to the Spirit (Romans 8:4). Obedience is the fruit and necessary evidence of new life, not the condition that activates or preserves freedom from the law’s curse and condemnation. Key Scriptures: The Protective Function of the Law Psalm 119:11: "Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You." Guardrail Function: Internalizing Scripture acts as a direct barrier against temptation. Psalm 119:105: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Guardrail Function: Defines the safe path, preventing a person from blindly straying off a cliff into sin. Galatians 3:23 : "But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which should afterward be revealed." Guardrail Function: Paul explicitly uses military/custodial language (phroureo - to guard or hem in) to show how the Law contained and restrained human sinful nature until Christ arrived. 1 Timothy 1:8–10: " Knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners..." Guardrail Function: Laws and boundaries exist precisely to restrain unruly behavior and prevent lawlessness from going unchecked. How the Guardrail Metaphor Completes the Biblical Picture Function of the Law Practical / Theological Meaning Scriptural Reference Exposing Sin (Mirror)Shows what sin is by defining absolute right and wrong Romans 3:20, 7:7 Leading to Christ (Tutor)Proves human inability to stay within boundaries, driving us to grace Galatians 3:24 Connecting Guardrails to Deflection When people deflect, remove, or relax parts of Scripture (as warned against in Matthew 5:18–19), they effectively tear down the guardrails God put in place for their protection. Removing the "least" commandment creates a gap in the fence, making it significantly easier to slide into major sin. Psalm 19 describes the warnings and rewards of God's law? Psalm 19: The Protective Value, Warnings, and Rewards of God's Law In Psalm 19:7–14, David transitions from God's revelation in creation (verses 1–6) to God's written word, providing a complete defense of Scripture's perfection and protective boundary. The Perfect Character of the Law (Verses 7–9) David uses six distinct titles and descriptions for God's word, showing how it acts as a total guide for human life: Term Used Description Practical Effect on the Soul The Law of the LORD Perfect Restores/converts the soul The Testimony of the LORD Sure Makes wise the simple The Statutes of the LORD Right Rejoices the heart The Commandment of the LORD Pure Enlightens the eyes The Fear of the LORD Clean, enduring forever Provides an unshakable foundation The Judgments of the LORD True and righteous altogether Imparts divine truth The Law as Warning and Guardrail (Verses 11–13) In verses 11–13, David explicitly describes how Scripture functions as a protective guardrail against different types of sin: 11 "Moreover by them Your servant is warned, and in keeping them there is great reward." 12 "Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults." 13 "Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me..." Warning Against "Secret Faults" (Unintentional Sin): Scripture shines light on blind spots—sins committed in ignorance or rationalized away through self-deception. Guardrails Against "Presumptuous Sins" (Willful Sin): Presumptuous sins are intentional, high-handed rebellions (such as deflecting or deliberately ignoring a known command). David prays that the boundary of God's law holds him back so those deliberate sins do not form a habit or gain "dominion" over his life. The Ultimate Goal: Divine Acceptance (Verse 14) David concludes by bringing every thought, word, and reaction under the standard of God's word, recognizing that keeping the guardrails intact leads to true righteousness: 14 "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer."

The good news is that Yehovah ordained Yeshua to announce the coming of His kingdom here on earth. Many would be shocked to find out that the Bible defines the gospel differently than what they have always been told. A thorough reading shows He brought and that the apostles continued to preach. The True Gospel e The spiritual path begins with a direct call from Yeshua: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. ” This imperative is the doorway to salvation—a foundational, inward shift away from sin and a fallen world, and a redirection of the heart toward the sovereign authority of God. Matthew 4:17 — “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, ‘Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’” Mark 1:15 — “And saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.’” 2. The Doorway: Water Baptism and the Holy Spiri t Following the resurrection and ascension of Yeshua, Peter declared the active steps of covenant entry at Pentecost: turning in repentance, being buried with Messiah in baptism, and receiving divine empowerment through the Spirit. Acts 2:38 — “Then Peter said unto them, ‘Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.’” John 3:5 — “Jesus answered, ‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.’” 3. The Blood: Grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel By the blood shed on the tree, the dividing wall of hostility was torn down. Nations once alienated from the promises and covenants are brought near and grafted as wild olive branches into the root of Israel. Ephesians 2:12–13 — “That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Yesgua messiah ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” Romans 11:17 — “A nd if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree.” 4. The Commission: Gathering Others into the Harvest Salvation is not walked in isolation; a grafted branch bears fruit. Believers are commanded to act as fishers of men and ambassadors, working to gather the lost into the Father’s house before the end. Matthew 28:19–20 — “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” Matthew 9:37–38 — “Then saith he unto his disciples, ‘The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.’” Luke 14:23 — “And the lord said unto the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.’” 5. The Perseverance: Holding Fast Until the End The culmination of salvation requires endurance through trials, testing, and persecution. The promise of the eternal crown belongs to those who do not turn back. Matthew 24:13 — “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Hebrews 10:35–36 — “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.” Revelation 2:25–26 — “But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations.” Το Αληθινό Ευαγγέλιο Πουθενά στη γραφή δεν λέει ο Ιεσιούα ότι το ευαγγέλιο αναφέρεται σε Αυτόν που έρχεται να πεθάνει για τις αμαρτίες μας. Τι Κήρυξε ο Ιεσιούα; Πολλοί θα συγκλονίζονταν όταν μάθαιναν ότι η Βίβλος ορίζει το ευαγγέλιο διαφορετικά από αυτό που τους έλεγαν πάντα. Μια διεξοδική ανάγνωση δείχνει ότι η αποδοχή του αίματος του Χριστού ως πληρωμή των αμαρτιών μας –όσο θεμελιωδώς σημαντική κι αν είναι– δεν είναι στην πραγματικότητα το επίκεντρο των «καλών νέων» που έφερε και ότι οι απόστολοι συνέχισαν να κηρύττουν. Εκτός από το ότι πέθανε για τις αμαρτίες μας, ο Ιεσιούα ήρθε στη γη ως αγγελιοφόρος από τον Ιεχωβά τον Πατέρα: Τα καλά νέα είναι ότι ο Ιεχωβά όρισε τον Ιεσιούα να αναγγείλει τον ερχομό της βασιλείας Του εδώ στη γη. Ιωάννης 8:38 Εγώ μιλώ γι' αυτό που είδα στον Πατέρα μου, και εσείς κάνετε αυτό που ακούσατε από τον πατέρα σας». Ιωάννης 12:49-50 Διότι δεν μίλησα από μόνος μου, αλλά ο Πατέρας που με έστειλε μου έχει δώσει ο ίδιος μια εντολή—τι να πω και τι να μιλήσω. 50 Και ξέρω ότι η εντολή Του είναι η αιώνια ζωή. Ό,τι λέω, λοιπόν, το λέω όπως μου είπε ο Πατέρας». Ιωάννης 14:24 Όποιος δεν με αγαπά δεν τηρεί τα λόγια μου. Και ο λόγος που ακούτε δεν είναι δικός μου, αλλά των Πατέρων που με έστειλαν. Λουκάς 4:43 Ο Ιεσιούα τους είπε: «Πρέπει να κηρύξω τη βασιλεία του Ιεχωβά στους και άλλες πόλεις, γιατί για το σκοπό αυτό έχω σταλεί». Ενώ ο Yeshua ήταν κατηγορηματικά το πιο σημαντικό άτομο που περπάτησε ποτέ σε αυτή τη γη, η Βίβλος δείχνει ξεκάθαρα ότι το ευαγγέλιο που έφερε ο Yeshua δεν αφορούσε απλώς τον εαυτό Του. Διαβάστε τις δηλώσεις Του και αποδείξτε το μόνοι σας: Ματθαίος 9:35 Ο Ιεσιούα πέρασε από όλες τις πόλεις και τα χωριά, διδάσκοντας στις συναγωγές τους, κηρύττοντας το ευαγγέλιο της βασιλείας και θεραπεύοντας κάθε ασθένεια και ασθένεια. 36 Όταν είδε τα πλήθη, τους συμπονούσε, γιατί ήταν ενοχλημένοι και αβοήθητοι, σαν πρόβατα χωρίς βοσκό. Μάρκος 1:14-15 Τώρα, αφού μπήκε στη φυλακή ο Ιωάννης, ο Ιεσιούα ήρθε στη Γαλιλαία κηρύττοντας το ευαγγέλιο της βασιλείας του Θεού, και λέγοντας, "Ο καιρός έχει εκπληρωθεί, και η βασιλεία του Θεού πλησιάζει. Μετανοήστε και πιστέψτε στο ευαγγέλιο". 43 Λουκάς 8:1 Και συνέβη, μετά, ότι ο Ιεσιούα πέρασε από κάθε πόλη και χωριό, κηρύττοντας και φέρνοντας τα χαρούμενα νέα [ευαγγέλιο] της βασιλείας του Θεού. Λουκάς 16:16 Ο νόμος και οι προφήτες ήταν μέχρι τον Ιωάννη. Από τότε κηρύχθηκε η βασιλεία του Θεού, και όλοι πιέζουν προς αυτήν. Ματθαίος 24:14 Και είναι ευκολότερο να παρέλθει ο ουρανός και η γη παρά να αποτύχει μια πτυχή του νόμου. Και αυτό το ευαγγέλιο της βασιλείας θα κηρυχτεί σε όλο τον κόσμο ως μαρτυρία σε όλα τα έθνη, και τότε θα έρθει το τέλος. Η αναγγελία των «καλών νέων» - τα καλύτερα νέα που θα μπορούσαν να ακουστούν σήμερα - την οποία έδωσε ο Πατέρας μέσω του Ιεσιούα, αφορούσε την εγκαθίδρυση της Βασιλείας Του στη γη. Τι είναι ένα βασίλειο; Είναι ουσιαστικά ένα έθνος, με όλους τους πολίτες, τη γη και τους νόμους του, που κυβερνάται από μια κυβέρνηση. Στη βιβλική χρήση, ένα βασίλειο μπορεί επίσης να σημαίνει μια οικογένεια από έναν μόνο γονέα που έχει μεγαλώσει σε έθνος. Ένα βασίλειο έχει τέσσερα βασικά στοιχεία: ένας βασιλιάς, ανώτατος ηγεμόνας ή κυβερνητικός πράκτορας. επικράτεια, με τη συγκεκριμένη θέση και τις καθορισμένες οριακές γραμμές· υποκείμενα ή πολίτες εντός αυτής της εδαφικής δικαιοδοσίας· και νόμους και μια μορφή διακυβέρνησης μέσω της οποίας ασκείται η βούληση του άρχοντα. Αν αγνοήσουμε οποιοδήποτε από αυτά τα ουσιαστικά στοιχεία –αν αγνοήσουμε το μήνυμα που έφερε ο Γιεσιούα από τον Πατέρα– θα έχουμε μια διαστρεβλωμένη πίστη, μια πίστη που δεν θα φέρει σωτηρία. Ποιος Θα γίνει Βασιλιάς; Δεν υπάρχει αμφιβολία ότι ο Βασιλιάς της Βασιλείας του Θεού θα είναι ο Yeshua. Παρόλο που δεν άσκησε καμία πολιτική εξουσία ενώ βρισκόταν στη γη, όταν επιστρέψει, θα είναι "Βασιλιάς των βασιλιάδων και Κύριος των κυρίων" Α' Τιμόθεο 6:15. Αποκάλυψη 19:16. 17:14). Άλλοι προφήτες προείπε επίσης έναν επερχόμενο βασιλιά, όχι μόνο του Ισραήλ και του Ιούδα, αλλά και σε ολόκληρο τον κόσμο. Ο Ησαΐας μας λέει: Διότι σε μας γεννήθηκε ένα Παιδί, σε μας δόθηκε ένας Υιός. και η κυβέρνηση θα είναι στον ώμο Του. Και το όνομά Του θα ονομαστεί Θαυμαστός, Σύμβουλος, Ισχυρός Θεός, Αιώνιος Πατέρας, Άρχοντας της Ειρήνης. Η αύξηση της κυβέρνησής Του και η ειρήνη δεν θα έχει τέλος, στον θρόνο του Δαβίδ και στο βασίλειό Του, για να το διατάξει και να το εγκαθιδρύσει με κρίση και δικαιοσύνη από τότε, ακόμη και για πάντα. Ο ζήλος του Κυρίου των δυνάμεων θα το κάνει αυτό. (Ησαΐας 9:6-7) Πού Θα Εγκατασταθεί το Βασίλειο; Ένα κυρίαρχο ψέμα που έχει επιβάλει ο Σατανάς στην ανθρωπότητα είναι η πεποίθηση ότι η ψυχή κάποιου πηγαίνει στον παράδεισο μετά το θάνατο. Πολλοί άνθρωποι υποθέτουν ότι η φράση Βασιλεία του Θεού είναι συνώνυμη με τον ουρανό, αλλά η Βίβλος διδάσκει ότι όταν επιστρέψει ο Ιεσιούα, η Βασιλεία του Θεού θα εγκατασταθεί στη γη! Πρώτα, παρατηρήστε πώς η Βίβλος αντικρούει εντελώς την έννοια του «πηγαίνω στον παράδεισο» μετά το θάνατο. Ο Πέτρος λέει στο πλήθος την ημέρα της Πεντηκοστής: «Άνδρες και αδελφοί, επιτρέψτε μου να σας μιλήσω ελεύθερα για τον πατριάρχη Δαβίδ, ότι είναι και νεκρός και θαμμένος, και ο τάφος του είναι μαζί μας μέχρι σήμερα. .. Διότι ο Δαβίδ δεν ανέβηκε στους ουρανούς" (Πράξεις 2:29, 34). Αυτός ο "άνθρωπος σύμφωνα με την καρδιά του Θεού" δεν είναι στον ουρανό, αλλά ακόμα στον τάφο! Ο Σωτήρας μας το επιβεβαιώνει στο Ιωάννης 3:13: «Κανείς δεν ανέβηκε στον ουρανό παρά μόνο Αυτός που κατέβηκε από τον ουρανό, δηλαδή ο Υιός του ανθρώπου που είναι στον ουρανό». Εκκλησιαστής 9:5,10 Οι νεκροί άγιοι της Παλαιάς και της Καινής Διαθήκης κοιμούνται στους τάφους τους, περιμένοντας την ανάσταση - χωρίς συνείδηση. Ιώβ 14:14-15 Ο Ιώβ περιγράφει την αναμονή για την ανάσταση με αυτόν τον τρόπο: "Αν κάποιος πεθάνει, θα ζήσει ξανά; Όλες τις ημέρες της σκληρής υπηρεσίας μου θα περιμένω, μέχρι να έρθει η αλλαγή μου. Θα τηλεφωνήσετε και θα Να σου απαντήσω. Αποκάλυψη 5:10, "Και τους έκανες βασίλειο (βασιλικό γένος) και ιερείς στον Θεό μας, και θα βασιλέψουν στη γη!" Αποκάλυψη 11:15 Τότε ήχησε ο έβδομος άγγελος: Και ακούστηκαν δυνατές φωνές στον ουρανό, που έλεγαν· «Τα βασίλεια αυτού του κόσμου έγιναν τα βασίλεια του Ιεχωβά μας και του Γιου Του, και θα βασιλεύει για πάντα!» Αποκάλυψη 21:21. Και είδα έναν νέο ουρανό και μια νέα γη, γιατί ο πρώτος ουρανός και η πρώτη γη είχαν παρέλθει. Επίσης δεν υπήρχε πια θάλασσα. Τότε εγώ, ο Ιωάννης, είδα την ιερή πόλη, τη Νέα Ιερουσαλήμ, να κατεβαίνει από τον ουρανό από τον Θεό, προετοιμασμένη σαν νύφη στολισμένη για τον άντρα της. Και άκουσα μια δυνατή φωνή από τον ουρανό να λέει: "Ιδού, η σκηνή του Θεού είναι με τους ανθρώπους, και θα κατοικήσει μαζί τους, και θα είναι λαός του. Ο ίδιος ο Θεός θα είναι μαζί τους και ο Θεός τους. Και ο Θεός θα εξαφανίσει μακριά κάθε δάκρυ από τα μάτια τους· δεν θα υπάρχει πια θάνατος, ούτε θλίψη, ούτε κλάμα· δεν θα υπάρχει πια πόνος, γιατί τα προηγούμενα πέρασαν. … Αποκάλυψη 21:1 Αυτός που θα νικήσει θα κληρονομήσει τα πάντα, και εγώ θα είμαι ο Θεός του και αυτός θα είναι γιος μου." Ποιοι είναι οι Υπήκοοι και οι Πολίτες του Βασιλείου; Παρόλο που ολόκληρος ο κόσμος θα κυβερνάται από τον Ιεσιούα όταν θα ιδρύσει τη Βασιλεία στις γη, δεν θα είναι όλοι στη γη πολίτες αυτού του Βασιλείου. Όλοι θα υπόκεινται στον Βασιλιά των βασιλιάδων, αλλά δεν θα έχουν εισέλθει όλοι σε αυτό το πνευματικό Βασίλειο. Ιωάννης 3:3 Ο Ιεσιούα αποκάλυψε αυτή την αλήθεια στον Νικόδημο. Όταν ο Νικόδημος ήρθε κοντά Του τη νύχτα, ο Ιεσιούα του είπε: «Σε βεβαιότητα, σας λέω, αν κάποιος δεν αναγεννηθεί, δεν μπορεί να δει τη βασιλεία του Θεού». Α' Κορινθίους 15:50. Ο Παύλος είπε στους Κορινθίους «η σάρκα και το αίμα [οι θνητοί άνθρωποι] δεν μπορούν να κληρονομήσουν τη βασιλεία του Θεού· ούτε η διαφθορά κληρονομεί την αφθαρσία» Ενώ έχουμε ένα φυσικό σώμα από σάρκα και αίμα, μπορεί να είμαστε κληρονόμοι της Βασιλείας, αλλά δεν μπορούμε να εισέλθουμε πλήρως στο Βασίλειο, ούτε μπορούμε να το δούμε, μέχρι να γίνουμε πνεύμα—που του δόθηκε ένα ένδοξο σώμα που αποτελείται από πνεύμα στην ανάσταση. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι, παρόλο που όλη η ανθρωπότητα θα υποταχθεί στο Βασίλειο που ο Ιεσιούα θα κυβερνήσει στη γη, δεν θα είναι απαραίτητα μέρος του. Ματθαίος 25:31-34 Όταν έρθει ο Υιός του Ανθρώπου με τη δόξα Του, και όλοι οι άγιοι άγγελοι μαζί Του, τότε θα καθίσει στον θρόνο της δόξας Του. Όλα τα έθνη θα συγκεντρωθούν μπροστά του, και θα τα χωρίσει το ένα από το άλλο, όπως ο βοσκός χωρίζει τα πρόβατά του από τα κατσίκια. Και θα βάλει τα πρόβατα στα δεξιά Του, αλλά τα κατσίκια στα αριστερά. Τότε ο Βασιλιάς θα πει σε εκείνους στα δεξιά Του: «Ελάτε, ευλογημένοι του Πατέρα Μου, κληρονομήστε τη βασιλεία που ετοιμάστηκε για εσάς από την ίδρυση του κόσμου». Η Βασιλεία του Θεού, λοιπόν, θα κυβερνηθεί από τον Ιεσιούα και θα κληρονομηθεί από εκείνους που έχουν δοξαστεί μόλις αναστηθούν από τους νεκρούς. Οι αναστημένοι άγιοι—πολίτες της Βασιλείας του Θεού—θα κυβερνήσουν μαζί τους Ο Ιεσιούα πάνω στους εναπομείναντες λαούς της γης (Δανιήλ 7:27· Β ́ Τιμόθεο 2:12· Αποκάλυψη 2:26-28· 5:9-10· 20:4-6· 22:5). Ποιοι είναι οι Νόμοι του Βασιλείου; Κριτές 21:25. Το δίκαιο είναι απλώς ένας οδηγός που πρέπει να ακολουθήσουν οι άνθρωποι για να εξασφαλίσουν συνοχή, συμφωνία και ειρήνη στις αστικές και διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις. Χωρίς ένα κατανοητό πρότυπο, που επιβάλλεται από έναν κυρίαρχο άρχοντα, ο καθένας θα ενεργούσε σύμφωνα με τη δική του ιδιοτροπία ή επιθυμία και δεν θα παρήχθη τίποτα καλό ή αξιόλογο. Η Βασιλεία του Θεού δεν είναι διαφορετική. Α Κορινθίους 14:33 Ο Θεός δεν είναι ο δημιουργός της σύγχυσης. Η Βασιλεία Του θα είναι ειρηνική και εύτακτη γιατί καθένας που θα εισέλθει σ' αυτήν θα έχει υποβάλει οικειοθελώς τον εαυτό του στο νόμο - τις εντολές - του Θεού. Ο Θεός δεν θα έχει κανέναν στη Βασιλεία Του που να αποδεικνύει, σύμφωνα με το πρότυπο της ζωής του, ότι δεν θα Τον υπακούει. (Ματθαίος 7:21-23· Εβραίους 10:26-31). Το εδάφιο Αποκάλυψη 12:17 περιγράφει τους αγίους ως εκείνους «που τηρούν τις εντολές του Θεού και έχουν τη μαρτυρία του Ιεσιούα. Αυτές οι δύο δηλώσεις - το να αγαπάς τον Θεό και να αγαπάς τον πλησίον σου ως τον εαυτό σου - συμπυκνώνουν τις τέσσερις πρώτες και τις τελευταίες έξι εντολές αντίστοιχα. Οι εντολές απλώς ορίζουν περαιτέρω πώς να αγαπάμε τον Θεό και να αγαπάμε τον άνθρωπο. Αγαπάμε τον Θεό γενικά με το να Τον βάζουμε πρώτο, με το να μην υιοθετούμε σωματικά βοηθήματα για να Τον λατρεύουμε, να μην φέρουμε μάταια το όνομά Του και να τηρούμε άγιο το Σάββατο της έβδομης ημέρας. Αγαπάμε τον άνθρωπο, γενικά, τιμώντας τους γονείς μας, μη δολοφονώντας, μη μοιχεύοντας, μην κλέβοντας, μη λέγοντας ψέματα και μη λαχταρώντας. Ιωάννης 14:15 «Εάν με αγαπάτε, να τηρείτε τις εντολές μου. Αυτός που έχει τις εντολές μου και τις τηρεί, αυτός είναι που με αγαπά. Ο εαυτός μου σε αυτόν». «Αν κάποιος με αγαπά, θα τηρήσει τον λόγο μου· και ο Πατέρας μου θα τον αγαπήσει, και θα έρθουμε κοντά του και θα κατοικήσουμε μαζί του. δεν είναι δικός μου, αλλά οι Πατέρες που με έστειλαν». The Gospel (in Hebrew, the Besorah—"good news") that Yeshua (Jesus) personally preached is summarized in Mark 1:14–15: "Now after John was put in prison, Yeshua came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, 'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.'" While modern ears often hear "the gospel" defined exclusively as the mechanics of individual salvation (how to go to heaven when you die), Yeshua’s proclamation was broader, deeper, and grounded in the Hebrew Scriptures: the Gospel of the Kingdom of God (Besorat HaMalkhut). He announced that the sovereign rule, authority, and covenant reign of the Creator had broken directly into this fallen world through the King Himself. 1. "The Time is Fulfilled" (Prophetic Arrival) When Yeshua said the time was fulfilled, He was speaking to a nation longing for deliverance. The prophecies of Daniel (the timeline of Daniel 9 and the stone that crushes the kingdoms of the world in Daniel 2) and Isaiah were reaching their climax. In Luke 4:18–19, He opened the scroll of Isaiah 61 in the Nazareth synagogue to define His mandate: Preaching good tidings to the poor and humble. Healing the brokenhearted. Proclaiming liberty to the captives and the opening of prison to those who are bound. Proclaiming the acceptable year of the Lord (the ultimate Jubilee release from sin and debt). 2. "The Kingdom of God is at Hand" (The Core Proclamation) Yeshua did not preach an abstract philosophy; He preached an active government and reign: Sovereignty over the Kingdom of Darkness: Every time Yeshua cast out a demon, healed incurable diseases, or raised the dead, He was demonstrating that Satan’s usurpation of the earth was being overthrown. "If I cast out demons by the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you" (Luke 11:20). The Nature of the King’s Reign: His kingdom was not of this worldly system—it did not advance through political intrigue, violence, or human armies (John 18:36). Instead, it advanced through truth, sacrificial love, humility, and righteousness. Present and Future: The Kingdom is already here in the hearts and walk of those who submit to the King, and it is yet to come in its physical, global fullness when the King returns to establish His reign in Jerusalem (Zechariah 14; Revelation 11:15). 3. "Repent" (Teshuvah — A Complete Return) To enter this Kingdom, the requirement was not a passive intellectual nod, but Teshuvah—a radical turning around: Turning from Self-Rule to God's Rule: Repentance means laying down rebellion, secular autonomy, and false religious pretenses. Internalizing the Commandments: In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7), Yeshua explained the constitution of the Kingdom. He made it clear that He did not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, but to fill them to the full (Matthew 5:17). Kingdom repentance goes beyond external legalism to the motives of the heart—eradicating lust, hatred, pride, and greed. Fruit of Repentance: Just as John the Baptist warned, Yeshua taught that true repentance always bears observable, righteous fruit (Matthew 7:16–21). 4. "Believe in the Good News" (Covenant Faith & Allegiance) In the biblical mindset, "belief" (emunah) is not merely agreeing that God exists; it is active loyalty, trust, and obedience to the King: Trusting the Father’s Provision: Ceasing to worry about food, drink, and clothing like the nations do, but rather "seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (Matthew 6:33). Trusting the Sacrifice of the Son: Yeshua taught that He came "not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). The Good News is that the King took the curse of our disobedience upon Himself at Passover, shedding His blood to ratify the New Covenant (Matthew 26:28). Victory Over the Grave: Yeshua promised that whoever hears His word and believes Him who sent Him has passed from death into life (John 5:24), anchored by His own resurrection as the firstfruits from the dead. 5. Summary: What Entering the Gospel Requires In Yeshua's own words, walking in the Gospel means: Denying Self: "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me" (Luke 9:23). Obeying the Father's Will: "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven" (Matthew 7:21). Loving God and Neighbor: Loving the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and loving your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:29–31). Proclaiming the Kingdom to All Nations: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come" (Matthew 24:14). In short, the Gospel Yeshua taught is the royal proclamation that God’s reign has arrived in His Messiah, calling every human heart to turn away from sin, enter covenant peace with the Father through the Son, and live as an obedient citizen of His eternal Kingdom. In ancient kingdoms, when a king ascended his throne, he issued a royal charter or legal code declaring how his realm would be governed and what was expected of his subjects. In Matthew 5–7, Yeshua goes up on a mountain—echoing Moses ascending Mount Sinai—sits down in the posture of a reigning king and teacher, and delivers the manifesto of His newly inaugurated reign. The Sermon on the Mount is not an impractical, idealistic philosophy, nor is it a checklist to earn salvation. It is the living, practical constitution of the Kingdom of God, dictating the character, inner motives, ethics, and daily allegiance required of every citizen walking under Messiah's rule. 1. The Preamble: The Citizen’s Internal Disposition (The Beatitudes) Any national constitution opens with foundational values. Earthly empires prize military conquest, political clout, wealth, and self-assertion. Yeshua begins His charter (Matthew 5:3–12) by turning the world's value system completely upside down: Poor in Spirit: Recognizing total spiritual bankruptcy and utter dependence on the King. Mourning: Grieving over personal sin and the brokenness of a fallen world. Meekness: Possessing harnessed strength, patience, and humility rather than violent ambition. Hunger for Righteousness: Longing for God’s righteous order to prevail more than craving food or physical comfort. Mercy and Purity of Heart: Extending forgiveness and maintaining undivided, uncorrupted loyalty to God. Peacemaking: Actively reconciling estranged parties, reflecting the character of the Father. These are not separate groups of people receiving different rewards; together, they describe the temperament of the citizen who has laid down self-rule. 2. The Citizen’s Public Office: Salt and Light Citizens of the Kingdom do not live in isolationist enclaves; they are embedded directly into a decaying and dark culture (Matthew 5:13–16): Salt of the Earth: In antiquity, salt was a preservative that arrested rot and decay. Kingdom citizens preserve truth, hold back moral corruption, and bring spiritual flavor to the societies they inhabit. Light of the World: Light exposes danger and guides the traveler. Believers do not hide their allegiance to the King; their visible, tangible good works shine so that observers give glory directly to the Father. 3. The Legal Standard: Fulfilling and Internalizing the Law In Matthew 5:17–20, Yeshua establishes the legal framework of His government, dispelling any thought of lawlessness or anarchy: "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." To "fulfill" (pleroo) in Hebrew thought means to bring the law to its fullest intended meaning and expression, not to abolish it. Yeshua contrasts the superficial, external legalism of the religious establishment with the King’s internal standard. Through a series of six antitheses ("You have heard that it was said... but I say to you"), He shows that the King's law governs the thoughts and desires before an act is ever committed: Murder vs. Contempt: It is not enough to refrain from physical murder; harboring bitter anger, resentment, or hurling venomous insults (Raca) makes one liable to judgment (5:21–26). Adultery vs. Lust: Purity is not just refraining from physical unfaithfulness; looking with covetous intent is adultery in the heart (5:27–30). Oaths vs. Total Integrity: Citizens do not need elaborate religious oaths or legal loopholes to verify their truthfulness; their word is their bond—their "Yes" means yes, and their "No" means no (5:33–37). Retaliation vs. Sacrificial Generosity: Rather than demanding immediate vengeance ("an eye for an eye"), citizens yield personal rights, go the extra mile, and overcome evil with good (5:38–42). Love for Enemies: The ultimate test of Kingdom citizenship is reflecting the Father’s indiscriminate benevolence—praying for persecutors and blessing those who curse you (5:43–48). 4. Public Duty & Worship: Sincerity Over Religious Theater In Matthew 6, Yeshua regulates the three primary pillars of personal religious duty: giving, prayer, and fasting. In earthly systems, piety is often weaponized for social prestige. In the Kingdom, performance art is condemned: Secret Giving (Alms): Giving to the needy without sounding a trumpet or announcing tax write-offs; the left hand does not know what the right is doing. Secret Prayer: Communing behind closed doors with the Father, rather than reciting vain, repetitive words to impress bystanders. He provides the Model Prayer (the Lord's Prayer), teaching citizens to align their desires with the Father’s name, His kingdom coming, and His will being done on earth. Secret Fasting: Anointing the head and washing the face so that the physical affliction of fasting is unseen by men, directed only to the Father who sees in secret. 5. The Economic System: Trust, Not Striving Every kingdom has an economy. The economy of the world is driven by fear, scarcity, hoarding, and status anxiety. The Kingdom of God operates on radical faith in divine provision (Matthew 6:19–34): Currency: True wealth is not stored in physical barns, bank vaults, or commodities where moth and rust destroy; it is stored in heaven through generous, righteous living. Singular Focus: A servant cannot serve two masters. You cannot pledge allegiance to the Creator while serving Mammon (wealth/money). Freedom from Worry: Citizens do not sweat and panic over daily bread or clothing like the pagans do. The King feeds the birds of the air and clothes the lilies of the field. The citizen's sole operational directive is: "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6:33) 6. Relational Protocol: Righteous Discernment Without Self-Righteous Condemnation In Matthew 7:1–12, Yeshua sets the rules for how citizens treat one another: The Spec and the Log: Before attempting to perform delicate eye surgery on a brother’s fault, remove the massive log of blind self-righteousness from your own eye. Holy Discernment: While judgment is warned against, discernment is commanded—do not cast pearls before swine or give what is sacred to dogs. Persistent Petitions: Keep asking, seeking, and knocking, trusting that the Father gives good gifts to His children. The Royal Rule (The Golden Rule): "Whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." (Matthew 7:12) 7. The Ratification: Hearing vs. Doing A constitution is useless if it is merely read and debated rather than obeyed. Yeshua concludes His address with four sobering warnings demanding personal allegiance: Two Gates: The wide, crowded gate leading to destruction versus the narrow, difficult gate leading to life (7:13–14). Two Trees: True prophets and false prophets, known not by their charisma or titles, but by their actual fruit (7:15–20). Two Confessions: Warning that crying "Lord, Lord" or performing signs in His name is worthless if one practices lawlessness (anomia). Only those who do the will of the Father will enter (7:21–23). Two Foundations: The sermon ends with a dramatic builder’s test. The person who hears these words and builds on them is a wise man who digs deep and anchors his house on the solid bedrock. When the storms, floods, and winds beat against that life, it stands firm. The person who hears and does not obey builds on shifting sand—and great is the fall of it (7:24–27). When Yeshua concluded, the crowds were astonished. He did not quote human traditions or cite precedent like the scribes; He spoke as the Lawgiver and King Himself, laying down the permanent, unalterable rule of life for all who call Him Lord.

There you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your ancestors have known. 65 Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the Lord will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart. Revelation 18:17-19 The Message “All the ship captains and travelers by sea, sailors and toilers of the sea, stood off at a distance and cried their lament when they saw the smoke from her burning: ‘Oh, what a city! There was never a city like her!’ They threw dust on their heads and cried as if the world had come to an end: Doom, doom, the great city doomed! All who owned ships or did business by sea Got rich on her getting and spending. And now it’s over—wiped out in one hour!

The mark of Yehovah God (777)The Mark of God is a sign of obedience between God and His faithful they keep His Sabbath and His commandments The fourth commandment is the only Commandment that contains The seal of God His name, His Title His Territory (666) The Mark of the Beast Is disobedience to God and His laws and they keep Sunday Gods excape plan for His children A sign of a true Christian is having the testimony of Yeshua and adhering to the commandments. 22 Signs You Are Marked by God Which mark will you recieve? Seven day Sabbath Seven Spirits of God Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath Seven trumpets Seven Angels With Seven Plagues Seven Spirits of God God's seal is not a physical mark The forehead represents the mind of those who make a consonance decision to obey God's requirements to receive His seal, which will protect us from the last seven plagues. The Mark of God is a sign of obedience between God and His faithful Thus the Sabbath is the sign of a relationship between God and His people, serving as "a test of their loyalty to Him" Yeshua is the LORD of the Sabbath, not Sunday and they get the Mark of God will escape the plages. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit. Is a characteristic of people who have surrendered their lives to God God's seal is in His laws. Bind up the testimonies and seal the law among my disciples. God's sign is His seal, the words sign and seal are interchangeable in the bible. The Sabbath is God's sign, The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week. The fourth commandment is to remember the Sabbath. There is not one scripture in the entire Bible changing the Sabbath to Sunday. Its a sign of God's authority He chose the day. Luke 11:13 God gives His Spirit only to those who have demonstrated in attitude and behavior that they have repented. Then they must be baptized and obey His commandments. No one who continues to live a lifestyle apart from God's law has received the Spirit of God or has the power of God working in him. 777 Thus the Sabbath is the sign of a relationship between God and His people, serving as "a test of their loyalty to Him" Yeshua is the LORD of the Sabbath These elements are found in the Sabbath commandment. Seventh day God created the heavens and earth and finished His work. Seventh-day, He rested Seventh-day, He sanctified it. Seventh-day, He made it Holy Those who receive God's seal upon their foreheads are "God's commandment-keeping people ." "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus" (Rev 14:12; Testimonies, 6:15). Who will seal God's children? Revelation 14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, with him a hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Yeshua. The mark of God is a sign of protection over God's people. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 1. Ex. 31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between you and me throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctifies you. Deuteronomy 6:4-94 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home when you walk along the road, when you lie down, and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and your gates. Exodus 13: -10 6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord. 9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes , that the Lord's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year. And LORD YEHOVAH said to him: “Go through within the city, within Jerusalem, and make a mark on the forehead of the men who groan and are tormented because of all the abominations and the evils that are done within her” What is the seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit? The seal of the Holy Spirit is God's means of protecting the believer. The Holy Spirit is God's seal of protection over the believer's life. Under this sacred seal, no man, demon, or any other thing can wrest the Christian from the secure position he has in Christ Yeshua. The seal represents the certainty that we receive from the Holy Spirit. Despite what our emotions tell us, despite what the lies of the enemy tell us, and despite what our own human reasoning tells us, we know that we belong to God because of the Holy Spirit, the seal of the promise of salvation. “When you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit. he will guide you into all the truth, my life belongs to Him.” I must turn away from evil. Those who receive God's seal upon their foreheads are "God's commandment-keeping people." If you do the things God hates and refuse to keep His commandments and encourage others to do the same, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” NOT THE MARK OF GOD “YEHOVAH”

We are instructed to walk as Yeshua did according to the law? Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. you are only fooling yourselves. 613 and 1050 commandments Το τρέιλερ του ντοκιμαντέρ The Way IS JESUS A CHRISTIAN? Live like Christ did Έχουμε οδηγίες να περπατάμε όπως έκανε ο Yeshua σύμφωνα με το νόμο; 1 Ιωάννη 2:6 Όποιος ισχυρίζεται ότι ζει μέσα του πρέπει να ζει όπως ο Ιησούς. Ιάκωβος 1:2 Αλλά μην ακούτε μόνο τον λόγο του Θεού. Πρέπει να κάνετε αυτό που λέει. Αλλιώς κοροϊδεύετε μόνο τον εαυτό σας. Ο Χριστός ήρθε για να μας ελευθερώσει από την κατάρα της αμαρτίας και του θανάτου. Ο Χριστός ήρθε να μας διδάξει πώς να ζούμε. Ο Χριστός ήρθε να μας διδάξει πώς να αγαπάμε τον Θεό και τον συνάνθρωπό μας. Ο Χριστός «εστάλη μόνο στα χαμένα πρόβατα του Ισραήλ. Τήρησε τους νόμους του Λευιτικού για τα τρόφιμα. Τήρησε την έβδομη ημέρα του Σαββάτου Αγία. Τήρησε όλες τις γιορτές του Θεού. Τήρησε όλες τις εντολές και τα διατάγματα του Θεού. Ήταν τελείως βυθισμένος κατά τη διάρκεια της βάπτισης. Φορούσε φούντες στους ποδόγυρους των ρούχων του. Α' Πέτρου 2:21 Διότι κληθήκατε για αυτόν τον σκοπό, αφού και ο Χριστός υπέφερε για εσάς, αφήνοντάς σας ένα παράδειγμα για να ακολουθήσετε στα βήματά Του. Ιάκωβος 2:17 Δεν μπορούμε να ισχυριστούμε ότι έχουμε πίστη στην αλήθεια του Λόγου του Θεού και να ζούμε τη ζωή μας ενάντια σε αυτήν στην πράξη.: 1 Πέτρου 2:21 Διότι κληθήκατε για αυτόν τον σκοπό, αφού και ο Χριστός υπέφερε για εσάς, φεύγοντας είστε ένα παράδειγμα για να ακολουθήσετε στα βήματά Του. ● Ιωάννης 14:6 "Εγώ είμαι η οδός, η αλήθεια και η ζωή!" απάντησε ο Yeshua. «Χωρίς εμένα κανείς δεν μπορεί να πάει στον Πατέρα. Ματθαίος 22:13 Τότε ο βασιλιάς είπε στους υπηρέτες: «Δέστε τον χέρι και πόδι και ρίξτε τον στο σκοτάδι του εξωτερικού. Σε εκείνο το μέρος θα υπάρχει κλάμα και τρίξιμο των δοντιών ». 14 Διότι πολλοί είναι καλεσμένοι, αλλά λίγοι εκλεκτοί». Ιωάννης 3:36 Και όποιος πιστεύει στον Υιό του Θεού έχει αιώνια ζωή. Όποιος δεν υπακούει στον Υιό δεν θα βιώσει ποτέ την αιώνια ζωή, αλλά θα παραμείνει κάτω από την οργισμένη κρίση του Θεού. 1 Ιωάννη 1:6 Αν ισχυριζόμαστε ότι έχουμε κοινωνία μαζί του και παρόλα αυτά περπατάμε στο σκοτάδι, λέμε ψέματα και δεν ζούμε την αλήθεια Αυτό που κάνουμε είναι η απόδειξη αυτού που πιστεύουμε εσωτερικά. Οι πράξεις μας καθορίζουν για τους άλλους τις εσωτερικές μας πεποιθήσεις. 1 Ιωάννη 2:.3 Τώρα από αυτό γνωρίζουμε ότι Τον γνωρίζουμε, αν τηρούμε τις εντολές Του. 4 Αυτός που λέει: «Τον γνωρίζω», και δεν τηρεί τις εντολές Του είναι ψεύτης, και η αλήθεια δεν είναι μέσα του. 5 Όποιος όμως τηρεί τον λόγο Του, πραγματικά η αγάπη του Θεού [a] τελειοποιείται μέσα του. Με αυτό γνωρίζουμε ότι είμαστε μέσα Του. 6 Αυτός που λέει ότι μένει σε Αυτόν οφείλει και ο ίδιος να περπατά όπως περπάτησε. ● Ιωάννης 14:23 Ο Ιεσιούα απάντησε: «Όποιος με αγαπά θα υπακούσει τη διδασκαλία μου. Μου Ο πατέρας θα τους αγαπήσει και θα έρθουμε κοντά τους και θα κάνουμε το σπίτι μας μαζί τους». ● Ιωάννης 14:24 Όποιος δεν με αγαπά δεν τηρεί τα λόγια μου. Και ο λόγος που ακούτε δεν είναι δικός μου, αλλά των Πατέρων που με έστειλαν Ιωάννης 10:27 Τα πρόβατά μου ακούνε τη φωνή μου, και τα γνωρίζω, και με ακολουθούν. Ιωάννης 15:14 Είστε φίλοι μου, εάν κάνετε ό,τι σας διατάζω. Ματθαίος 16:24 Τότε ο Ιεσιούα είπε στους μαθητές του, αν κάποιος θέλει να με ακολουθήσει, ας απαρνηθεί τον εαυτό του και ας σηκώσει τον σταυρό του και ας με ακολουθήσει. Ιωάννης 15:16 Δεν με διαλέξατε εσείς, αλλά εγώ σας διάλεξα και σας διέταξα αυτό πρέπει να πάτε και να βγάλετε καρπό, και ο καρπός σας να μείνει· για ό,τι ζητήσετε από τον Πατέρα στο όνομά μου, να σας το δώσει. Ματθαίος 10:22 Και θα σας μισήσουν όλοι για χάρη του ονόματός μου· αλλά αυτός που υπομένει μέχρι τέλους θα σωθεί. Ιωάννης 3:36 Όποιος πιστεύει στον Υιό έχει αιώνια ζωή. όποιος δεν υπακούει στον Υιό δεν θα δει ζωή, αλλά η οργή του Θεού παραμένει πάνω του. Εβραίους 10:26-27 Διότι αν συνεχίσουμε να αμαρτάνουμε εσκεμμένα αφού λάβουμε τη γνώση της αλήθειας, δεν μένει πλέον θυσία για αμαρτίες, αλλά φοβερή προσδοκία κρίσης και μανία φωτιάς που θα κατατρώει τους αντιπάλους. ● Ιωάννης 3:3 Ο Ιεσιούα απάντησε και του είπε: «Με βεβαιότητα, σου λέω, εκτός αν κάποιος αναγεννηθεί. δεν μπορεί να δει τη βασιλεία του Θεού». Στο επόμενο εδάφιο, ο Ιεχωβά μας λέει ότι αμαρτία σημαίνει να μην τηρείς τις εντολές Του. Με αυτό διακρίνονται τα παιδιά του Θεού και τα παιδιά του διαβόλου: Σύμφωνα λοιπόν με τη Γραφή. ποιανού παιδί είσαι; 1 Ιωάννη 3:4 Καθένας που πράττει την αμαρτία ασκεί ανομία. Πράγματι, η αμαρτία είναι ανομία. 5 Αλλά ξέρετε ότι ο Χριστός εμφανίστηκε για να άρει τις αμαρτίες, και σε Αυτόν δεν υπάρχει αμαρτία. 6 Κανείς που μένει σε Αυτόν δεν συνεχίζει να αμαρτάνει. Κανείς που συνεχίζει (ασκεί) να αμαρτάνει δεν Τον έχει δει ούτε Τον έχει γνωρίσει. 7 Παιδιά, μη σας εξαπατήσει κανείς· δίκαιος είναι αυτός που ασκεί τη δικαιοσύνη, όπως δίκαιος είναι ο Χριστός. 8 Αυτός που κάνει την αμαρτία είναι από τον διάβολο, γιατί ο διάβολος αμαρτάνει από την αρχή. Γι' αυτό αποκαλύφθηκε ο Υιός του Θεού, για να καταστρέψει τα έργα του διαβόλου. 9 Όποιος γεννιέται από τον Θεό αρνείται να ασκήσει αμαρτία, επειδή ο σπόρος του Θεού μένει μέσα του. δεν μπορεί να συνεχίσει να αμαρτάνει, γιατί έχει γεννηθεί από τον Θεό. 10 Με αυτό διακρίνονται τα παιδιά του Θεού και τα παιδιά του διαβόλου: Όποιος δεν ασκεί δικαιοσύνη δεν είναι από τον Θεό, ούτε είναι όποιος δεν αγαπά τον αδελφό του. Ματθαίος 7:21 Δεν θα μπει στη βασιλεία των ουρανών καθένας που μου λέει «Κύριε, Κύριε», αλλά μόνο αυτός που κάνει το θέλημα του Πατέρα μου στους ουρανούς. 22 Πολλοί θα μου πουν εκείνη την ημέρα: «Κύριε, Κύριε, δεν προφητεύσαμε στο όνομά σου, και στο όνομά σου δεν εκδιώξαμε τους δαίμονες και θα κάνουμε πολλά θαύματα;»… 23 Τότε θα τους πω ξεκάθαρα: «Δεν σε γνώρισα ποτέ ; φύγετε από Μένα, εργάτες της ανομίας. 22 Και ό,τι ζητήσουμε, το λαμβάνουμε από αυτόν, γιατί τηρούμε τις εντολές Του και κάνουμε εκείνα που είναι αρεστά στα μάτια Του. Η δημοφιλής χριστιανική διδασκαλία για τη «δικαιοσύνη με πίστη» είναι ότι η δικαιοσύνη του Θεού «καταλογίζεται» σε όσους «πιστεύουν» στον «Ιεσιούα». Με άλλα λόγια, κατά την άποψή τους, η δικαιοσύνη που έχει ο πιστός είναι μια «θεωρητική» δικαιοσύνη - δεν χρειάζεται στην πραγματικότητα να ζεις με δίκαιο τρόπο για να θεωρηθείς από τον Θεό ως «δίκαιος». Λένε: «Όταν σε κοιτάζει ο Θεός, βλέπει τη δικαιοσύνη του Χριστού, γιατί είσαι εν Χριστώ». Ο Ιωάννης το κάνει πολύ σαφές για εκείνους που θεωρούνται δίκαιοι στα μάτια του Παντοδύναμου, κάνοντας αυτή την απλή και κατανοητή δήλωση: Ιωάννης 3:19 Και αυτή είναι η καταδίκη, ότι το φως ήρθε στον κόσμο, και οι άνθρωποι αγάπησαν το σκοτάδι παρά το φως, επειδή τα έργα τους ήταν κακά. 20 Διότι καθένας που κάνει το κακό μισεί το φως και δεν έρχεται στο φως, για να μην αποκαλυφθούν οι πράξεις του. 21 Αλλά εκείνος που κάνει την αλήθεια έρχεται στο φως, εκείνο του οι πράξεις μπορούν να φανούν ξεκάθαρα, ότι έχουν γίνει στον Θεό». Το ξίφος του Ευαγγελίου, όχι ειρήνη, αλλά διαίρεση Λουκάς 12:51 Νομίζετε ότι ήρθα να φέρω ειρήνη στη γη; Όχι, σου λέω, αλλά διχασμός. 52 Στο εξής, πέντε σε ένα νοικοκυριό θα χωρίζονται, τρία εναντίον δύο και δύο εναντίον τριών. 53 Θα χωριστούν, πατέρας εναντίον υιού και γιος εναντίον πατέρα, μητέρα εναντίον κόρης και κόρη εναντίον μητέρας, πεθερά κατά νύφης και νύφη κατά μητέρας- πεθερικά." Ιάκωβος 1:2 Αλλά μην ακούτε μόνο τον λόγο του Θεού. Πρέπει να κάνετε αυτό που λέει. Αλλιώς κοροϊδεύετε μόνο τον εαυτό σας. Ορισμός της παράβασης; Παραβίαση εντολής ή νόμου: ΑΜΑΡΤΙΑ: υπερβαίνει ένα όριο ή όριο. Για να υπερβείτε τα όρια που θέτει ή καθορίζει: ΠΑΡΑΒΑΣΤΕ το θεϊκό νόμο. Λοιπόν, αυτή είναι η ερώτησή σας, ασκείτε την αμαρτία; Τηρείτε τους νόμους του Ιεχωβά; Τότε λοιπόν, από τον καρπό τους θα τους αναγνωρίσετε; 1 Ιωάννη 3:7 Παιδιά, μην σας εξαπατήσει κανείς: Αυτός που ασκεί τη δικαιοσύνη είναι δίκαιος, όπως ο Ιεσιούα είναι δίκαιος. Δεν είναι πιο εύκολο να το καταλάβεις. Δεν υπάρχει αμφιβολία για το τι είπε ή έκανε ο Υιός του ζωντανού Θεού. Τα λόγια του Ιεχωβά και οι πράξεις του Γιου Του δεν χρειάζονται άνθρωπο για να τα ερμηνεύσει.

Mark 7 There is no such thing as unclean food! You will not find any definition of what is food in the new testament, only in the book of Leviticus, God's food laws it is not optional, The translators added (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.) Jesis declared all food clean Αυτό που Μολύνει 1 Οι Φαρισαίοι και μερικοί από τους δασκάλους του νόμου που είχαν έρθει από την Ιερουσαλήμ συγκεντρώθηκαν γύρω από τον Ιησού 2 και είδε μερικούς από τους μαθητές του να τρώνε φαγητό με χέρια μολυσμένα, δηλαδή άπλυτα. 3 (Οι Φαρισαίοι και όλοι οι Εβραίοι δεν τρώνε αν δεν πλύνουν τελετουργικά τα χέρια τους, τηρώντας την παράδοση των πρεσβυτέρων. 4 Όταν έρχονται από την αγορά δεν τρώνε παρά μόνο αν πλυθούν. Και τηρούν πολλές άλλες παραδόσεις, όπως το πλύσιμο φλιτζανιών, στάμνων και βραστών. ένα ) 5 Έτσι οι Φαρισαίοι και οι δάσκαλοι του νόμου ρώτησαν τον Ιησού: «Γιατί οι μαθητές σου δεν ζουν σύμφωνα με την παράδοση των πρεσβυτέρων αντί να τρώνε το φαγητό τους με μολυσμένα χέρια;» 6 Εκείνος απάντησε: «Ο Ησαΐας είχε δίκιο όταν προφήτευσε για εσάς τους υποκριτές. όπως γράφεται: «Αυτοί οι άνθρωποι με τιμούν με τα χείλη τους, αλλά οι καρδιές τους είναι μακριά μου. 7 Μάταια με λατρεύουν. οι διδασκαλίες τους είναι απλώς ανθρώπινοι κανόνες.' σι 8 Έχετε εγκαταλείψει τις εντολές του Θεού και κρατάτε τις ανθρώπινες παραδόσεις». 9 Και συνέχισε, «Έχετε έναν καλό τρόπο να παραμερίζετε τις εντολές του Θεού για να παρατηρείτε ντο οι δικές σας παραδόσεις! 10 Γιατί ο Μωυσής είπε: «Τίμα τον πατέρα και τη μητέρα σου», ρε και, "Όποιος βρίζει τον πατέρα ή τη μητέρα του πρέπει να θανατωθεί." μι 11 Αλλά λέτε ότι αν κάποιος δηλώσει ότι αυτό που θα μπορούσε να έχει χρησιμοποιηθεί για να βοηθήσει τον πατέρα ή τη μητέρα του είναι ο Κόρμπαν (δηλαδή αφοσιωμένος στον Θεό)— 12 τότε δεν τους αφήνεις πλέον να κάνουν τίποτα για τον πατέρα ή τη μητέρα τους. 13 Έτσι ακυρώνετε τον λόγο του Θεού με την παράδοσή σας που έχετε παραδώσει. Και κάνεις πολλά τέτοια πράγματα». 14 Ο Ιησούς κάλεσε πάλι το πλήθος κοντά του και είπε: «Ακούστε με, όλοι, και καταλάβετε αυτό. 15 Τίποτα έξω από ένα άτομο δεν μπορεί να τα μολύνει με το να μπει μέσα τους. Αντίθετα, είναι αυτό που βγαίνει από ένα άτομο που τον μολύνει." [16] φά 17 Αφού έφυγε από το πλήθος και μπήκε στο σπίτι, οι μαθητές του τον ρώτησαν για αυτήν την παραβολή. 18 "Είσαι τόσο βαρετή;» ρώτησε. «Δεν βλέπετε ότι τίποτα που εισέρχεται σε έναν άνθρωπο από έξω δεν μπορεί να τον μολύνει; 19 Γιατί δεν μπαίνει στην καρδιά τους, αλλά στο στομάχι τους και μετά έξω από το σώμα». (Λέγοντας αυτό, ο Ιησούς κήρυξε όλα τα τρόφιμα καθαρά.)

God only gives His Spirit to those who keep His commandments Narrow way Living in the Spirit Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.… Romans 8:9 which states that God gives the Holy Spirit to those who obey Him. This principle emphasizes that a willing, obedient heart is a key condition for receiving and experiencing the empowering presence of the Spirit. Acts 5:32, But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Here is a clear Yes/No self-assessment to help determine if you are currently walking in the Spirit (according to the Bible — Galatians 5:16-25, Romans 8:5-14). “Am I Walking in the Spirit?” Test Answer Yes or No honestly to each: create a test 1 John 3:4 (KJV), the verse reads: "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." Answer Yes or No honestly to each question to examine your heart. The "Walking in the Spirit" Deep Reflection Test Spiritual Deafness: When Scripture or a sermon convicts me of a specific change I need to make, do I listen and act immediately, rather than tuning it out or making excuses to justify myself? The Internal Battle: When I am tempted to break one of God’s commandments (in my thoughts, words, or actions), do I feel an immediate, sharp internal friction from the Holy Spirit urging me to stop? Worship in Spirit: Is my private devotion—when absolutely nobody else is looking or listening—just as earnest, real, and passionate as my public religious behavior? Spiritual Blindness : Am I quick to notice and convict myself of my own hidden sins (like pride, resentment, or greed), rather than just pointing out the obvious sins of the world around me? The Still, Small Voice: In the middle of a busy day or a stressful situation, am I quiet enough to hear and recognize the Holy Spirit's promptings regarding my attitude or speech? Keeping His Commandments: Do I view God's laws as a joyful path of protection and fellowship that I want to keep, rather than a heavy burden I have to drag around? The Internal Reality: When someone wrongs or provokes me, do I actively rely on the Spirit to change my internal feelings toward them, rather than just forcing a fake smile on the outside? Recognizing the Blindspot: Am I genuinely willing to ask God to show me the faults in my character that I am currently blind to, and am I ready to change if He reveals them? Ritual vs. Spirit: If all religious structure, services, and routines were stripped away today, would my personal, daily walk and communication with God remain completely intact? Hardening the Heart: Am I aware of any area where I have repeatedly ignored God's warnings to the point where my conscience no longer bothers me about it? "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion." — Hebrews 3:15 "Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious people." — Ezekiel 12:2 "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." — John 4:24 Reflecting on Your Answers Mostly "Yes": This indicates an active, living connection where your spiritual senses are sharp. Your ears are open to His voice, you are fighting the internal battle to keep His commandments, and you are operating from a place of true, spiritual reality. Several "No" Answers (especially on Questions 1, 5, and 10): This is a warning sign of spiritual deafness. When we repeatedly ignore the promptings of the Spirit or turn a deaf ear to God's laws, our hearts naturally begin to harden, and His voice becomes harder to discern. If you are struggling to hear Him, it is a direct call to clear away the noise, stop resisting, and pray: "Lord, take away my stubbornness, open my ears, and give me a heart that hears and obeys." Key Bible Truth: “Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh … Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:16, 25) True life in the Spirit is marked by freedom, fruit, and dependence on God — not perfection, but direction. A key verse is Romans 8:9: "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Other verses about having the Spirit of God: Other verses about having the Spirit of God: 2 Corinthians 13:5 "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith... Know ye not your own selves, how that Yeshua Messiah is in you, except ye be reprobates?" Galatians 4:6 "And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father." 1 Corinthians 3:16 "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" 1 Corinthians 6:19 "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you ...?" Ephesians 1:13 "After that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise." 1 John 3:24 "And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. " 1 John 4:13 "Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit." According to Scripture, the presence of God's Spirit is evidenced by faith in Messiah, obedience to God, and a transformed life: "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments." (1 John 2:3) "If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15) "And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us." (1 John 3:24) 1 . The Mindset: What Governs Your Thoughts? The primary difference starts in the mind. Romans 8:5 states, "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit." In the Flesh: A person is trapped in their own perspective. When a trial hits, their immediate reaction comes from human instinct—fear, anger, retaliation, or self-pity. In the Spirit: A person's mind is anchored in divine truth. When the same trial hits, they pause, lean on the Spirit, and recall the commandments of God, responding with humility, truth, and faith. "In the Spirit" vs. "In the Flesh" : This refers to a fundamental shift in a believer's identity. Being in the flesh represents our old, unredeemed nature, while being in the Spirit means our lives are governed and empowered by the Holy Spirit. [1, 2] T he Indwelling Spirit: The presence of the Holy Spirit inside a believer is the defining mark of true faith. Paul uses it as proof that an individual truly belongs to Christ. [1, 2, 3] The "Spirit of Christ": Paul interchangeably uses "Spirit of God" and "Spirit of Christ," emphasizing the divine nature of the Holy Spirit and the intimate connection between the believer and Yeshua Christ. [1, 2, 3] "In the Spirit" vs. "In the Flesh": This refers to a fundamental shift in a believer's identity. Being in the flesh represents our old, unredeemed nature, while being in the Spirit means our lives are governed and empowered by the Holy Spirit. The Indwelling Spirit: The presence of the Holy Spirit inside a believer is the defining mark of true faith. Paul uses it as proof that an individual truly belongs to Christ.The "Spirit of Christ" : Paul interchangeably uses "Spirit of God" and "Spirit of Christ," emphasizing the divine nature of the Holy Spirit and the intimate connection between the believer and Jesus Christ. 2. The Battle Over the Commandments Your response to God's instructions immediately reveals which realm you are operating in. "For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God." — Romans 8:7-8 The Flesh Rejects: Because the flesh wants to be its own god, it views the commandments as a restrictive burden. It rationalizes compromise, creates excuses, and ultimately rejects the truth. The Spirit Accepts: The Spirit gives us the supernatural ability to understand and love the commandments. It breaks the power of the flesh so that obedience isn't a legalistic chore, but a natural expression of our identity in Yeshua. The Sovereign Distinction: You cannot serve both. Walking in the flesh is relying on your own human strength and desires, which cuts a person off from salvation. Walking in the Spirit means surrendering your will to the truth of Yeshua, allowing His Spirit to produce real, righteous life within you. When Yeshua laid down this standard in John 4, He was radically redefining what it means to connect with the Almighty, breaking it down into two inseparable pillars. 1. Worshiping "In Spirit" (The Internal Reality) Worshiping "in spirit" means that your worship originates from the innermost core of your human spirit, energized and led by the Holy Spirit. Bypassing the Physical: Before Yeshua, people believed worship was tied to a physical location (like the Temple in Jerusalem or Mount Gerizim) or specific physical rituals (sacrifices, incense, holy garments). Yeshua explained that because God is Spirit, He cannot be confined to a building or moved by empty, outward motions. Heart Over Performance: It means your heart is actually in it. You can sing the songs, read the scriptures, and say the prayers, but if your mind is wandering or your heart is cold, it is just a fleshly performance. Worshipping in spirit means your inner being is actively alive and connected to God. 2. Worshiping "In Truth" (The Doctrinal Reality) Worshiping "in truth" means your worship is firmly anchored in God's absolute reality, His Word, and His commandments. Alinged with Reality: You cannot worship God based on a version of Him you made up in your own mind. It must be based on who He actually is as revealed in scripture . The Blueprint of Salvation: As noted previously, truth is non-negotiable—without truth, there is no salvation. Worshiping in truth means accepting God's standard of righteousness, acknowledging the reality of sin, and recognizing Yeshua as the only true way to the Father. It leaves no room for falsehood, self-delusion, or compromise. The Side-by-Side Balance Genuineness only happens when both elements are operating together perfectly. One without the other creates a dangerous imbalance. In Spirit (Without Truth)In Truth (Without Spirit)In Spirit AND In Truth Pure Emotion: Excitement, feelings, and high energy, but lacks a scriptural foundation. It easily drifts into false doctrine because it relies on "how I feel" rather than what is true.Dead Religion: Correct theology, strict rules, and flawless structure, but cold, rigid, and heartless. It results in a Pharisee-like walk that has the form of godliness but denies its power .True Worship: A vibrant, sincere heart that is deeply in love with God, backed by an uncompromising commitment to His absolute Word and commandments. Summary: To worship genuinely is to bring your whole heart (spirit) into perfect alignment with God's reality (truth). It is a walk where your inner thoughts, your public actions, and your obedience to the commandments all match up perfectly before the eyes of the Fathe r. Spiritual Blindness: Inability to See: Just as physical blindness prevents someone from seeing the physical world, spiritual blindness prevents individuals from "seeing" or discerning spiritual truths . This can manifest as: Lack of Understanding : Difficulty grasping theological concepts, biblical teachings, or the nature of God. Failure to Recognize God's Presence: Not perceiving God's activity in the world or in their own lives. Misinterpretation of Reality: Viewing life solely through a material or secular lens, without recognizing a spiritual dimension. Inability to See Their Own Sinfulness: Being unaware of their moral shortcomings or their need for redemption. R ejection of Spiritual Evidence: Dismissing or ignoring signs and experiences that might point towards a spiritual reality. Causes: Spiritual blindness can be attributed to various factors, including: Sin and Unbelief : A hardened heart due to persistent sin or a refusal to believe in God. Worldly Distractions: Being consumed by material possessions, worldly desires, and the cares of this life. Pride and Intellectual Obstacles: Relying solely on human reason and rejecting the need for divine revelation. Deception: Being misled by false teachings or ideologies. Spiritual Opposition : Some theological perspectives suggest that Satan or other spiritual forces actively work to blind people to the truth. (2 Corinthians 4:4) 2 Corinthians 4:4 states that the "god of this age" (Satan) has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel. This spiritual blindness keeps people from perceiving the glory of Christ, who is the exact image of God. Spiritual Deafness: Inability to Hear: Similar to physical deafness, spiritual deafness describes an inability or unwillingness to "hear" or heed spiritual messages. This can involve: Ignoring God's Word: Not paying attention to or disregarding scripture, sermons, or other forms of spiritual communication. Resisting the Holy Spirit's Promptings: Ignoring inner convictions or nudges towards righteousness. Being Unresponsive to God's Call: Not recognizing or heeding God's invitations to faith and relationship. Preferring Other Voices: Being more attuned to worldly opinions or desires than to spiritual guidance. Lack of Discernment : Difficulty distinguishing between true and false spiritual teachings. Causes: Similar to spiritual blindness, spiritual deafness can stem from: Sin and Rebellion: A stubborn and disobedient heart that refuses to listen to God. Preoccupation with the World: Being too busy or focused on worldly matters to hear God's voice. Skepticism and Doubt: A closed mind that is unwilling to accept spiritual truths. Hardened Heart: A heart that has become Calloused and resistant to God's influence. Spiritual Opposition: Again, some believe that external spiritual forces can hinder people from hearing God's voice. Interconnections: Spiritual blindness and deafness are often interconnected. If someone cannot "see" spiritual truth, they are less likely to "hear" and respond to it. Conversely, if someone refuses to "hear" spiritual messages, their understanding and "sight" can become clouded. Overcoming Spiritual Blindness and Deafness: Christian theology emphasizes that spiritual blindness and deafness can be overcome through: God's Grace: Ultimately, it is God's initiative and grace that opens eyes and ears to spiritual truth. Faith in Yeshua messiah: Believing in Yeshua and accepting his sacrifice is seen as the key to spiritual healing. The Work of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is believed to illuminate the mind and open the heart to understand spiritual realities. Prayer: Seeking God's help to see and hear. Study of Scripture: Engaging with the Bible to learn about God and his ways. Fellowship with Believers: Being part of a community of faith that can offer support and encouragement. Repentance and Obedience: Turning away from sin and living in accordance with God's will. Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us. In summary, spiritual blindness and deafness represent a significant barrier to experiencing and understanding the spiritual realm and one's relationship with God. They are conditions that, according to Christian belief, require divine intervention and a willing heart to overcome. To all who are weary of the heavy burdens of the world and the confusion of the Broad Way: You are cordially invited to enter the Kingdom of God. The King of the Universe, Yehovah, has not left you to wander without a map. He has provided His Torah—His perfect instruction—to act as the light for your feet and the guardrail for your life. While the world offers a wide road of "do as you please," the Father invites you to the Narrow Path, where true freedom and lasting peace are found. Romans 8:16 "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God." The Meaning: God’s Holy Spirit connects directly with the human spirit to give internal assurance of salvation. 1 Corinthians 2:11 "For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God." The Meaning: Just as your own deep thoughts are only known by your personal consciousness (your spirit), the deep things of God can only be revealed by the Holy Spirit. Worshiping in Spirit and Truth This is one of the most famous statements made by Yeshua regarding the nature of true worship. John 4:24 "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." (NKJV) The Meaning: Because God is not a physical being confined to a physical temple, true worship must happen in the spiritual realm—sincerely from the human heart—rather than just through external rituals. Testing the Spirits In the Epistles, believers are warned that not everything claiming to be spiritual is from God. 1 John 4:1 "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." (NKJV) The Meaning: A warning to evaluate the teaching, motive, and supernatural backing behind any spiritual message. Testing the Spirit: The Scriptural Protocol In the modern religious world, people confuse "the Spirit" with an emotional vibe, a subjective feeling, or a goosebump experience during a worship service. They hear someone speak with passion, perform a sign, or claim a direct revelation from God, and they automatically assume it is from the Almighty. But the Scripture issues a strict, legal mandate to audit and cross-examine every spiritual claim. The Apostle John gives a direct commanding order: "Test the spirits." The Confrontation: "You are completely unguarded if you swallow every teaching, every prophecy, and every emotional experience just because someone uses the name of Jesus. The spiritual realm is filled with counterfeits designed to mimic holiness while leading you straight into rebellion. The Creator did not leave you to judge by your intuition; He gave you a fixed legal protocol to test what is operating in front of you. Read 1 John 4:1." The Verse: "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." The Shock: "The Greek word for 'test' is dokimazō—a legal and metallurgical term meaning to assay, analyze, or put to a rigorous trial to see if it is genuine or counterfeit. If a spirit, a teacher, or a movement cannot pass the scriptural audit, you are commanded to reject it entirely, no matter how good it feels or how many followers it has." The Three Infallible Scriptural Tests To determine if a spirit is the Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit of Truth) or a spirit of deception, you must apply the three-fold protocol laid out in the literal text: Test 1: The Torah and Light Test (The Baseline) A true spirit will never contradict, alter, or relax the permanent instructions and commandments given by the Father. The Protocol (Isaiah 8:20): "To the law (Torah) and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." The Execution: If a spirit or a teacher tells you that the Sabbath is changed, that the dietary laws are done away with, or that the Moedim (Appointed Feasts) are replaced by pagan-rooted traditions under the guise of "grace," the verdict is instantaneous: There is no light in them. The Holy Spirit is the author of the Law; He will never lead a person to break it. Test 2: The True Identity and Identity of Yeshua Test The spirit must confess and align entirely with the true, uncompromised identity, flesh, and lineage of the Hebrew Messiah. The Protocol (1 John 4:2-3): "By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach) has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Yeshua HaMashiach) has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist..." The Execution: To confess Him "in the flesh" means acknowledging His literal, physical reality as the Hebrew Messiah who walked in perfect Torah obedience, kept the Sabbath, and embodied the Word. If a spirit presents a counterfeit, lawless, Hellenized "Jesus" who authorizes his followers to throw out the Father's commandments, that spirit is exposing itself as the spirit of the Antichrist (anomos—the lawless one). Test 3: The Fruit and Character Test You do not judge a spirit by its gifts, its signs, or its numbers; you judge it by the structural transformation it produces in a person's life. The Protocol (Matthew 7:20, Galatians 5:22-23): "Therefore by their fruits you will know them... But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." The Execution: Look past the performance. Does the spirit produce a life of radical Teshuvah (repentance), deep humility, and a protective love for the brethren? Or does it manifest the hidden works of the flesh—pride, gossip, horizontal treason against brothers, and a stubborn heart of flint that refuses correction? The Verdict of the Audit The Spirit of DeceptionThe Ruach HaKodesh (Spirit of Truth) Promotes anomia (lawlessness) and excuses the violation of the Commandments.Writes the Torah directly onto the heart and causes you to walk in His statutes (Ezekiel 36:27). Relies on emotional highs, human traditions, and the approval of the majority.Anchors itself strictly to the literal text: "Thus saith the Lord." Breeds pride, defensiveness, and a carnal mind hostile to God's Law.Produces the visible, active fruit of righteousness and horizontal love. The Bottom Line: Stop being spiritually naive. Run every voice, every teacher, and your own internal thoughts through this exact scriptural protocol. If it fails to match the Torah and the testimony of Yeshua, hit the eject button immediately. Turn your ear back to the Law so your very prayers do not become an abomination (Proverbs 28:9). Living in the Spirit Romans 8:9 8 Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God . 9 You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.… Jesus and the Samaritan Woman John 4:24 …23 But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us. 1 John 3:24

Anyone that leads others away from obedience to Gods commandments is a false prophet your pastors have done violence to My law and have profaned My holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean; False Prophet False Salvation Ψευδοπροφήτης Όποιος οδηγεί τους άλλους μακριά από την υπακοή στις εντολές του Θεού είναι ψευδοπροφήτης. Δευτερονόμιο 13 Δοκιμή Στον Ιεζεκιήλ, ο Ιεχωβά περιγράφει πώς οι πάστορες ασκούν βία στους νόμους Του. Ιεζεκιήλ 22:26 «Οι ιερείς της (οι ποιμένες σας) έχουν βίαια τον νόμο Μου και βεβήλωσαν τα άγιά Μου· δεν έκαναν διάκριση μεταξύ αγίου και βέβηλου, και δεν δίδαξαν τη διαφορά μεταξύ ακάθαρτου και καθαρού. και κρύβουν τα μάτια τους από τα Σάββατά Μου, και βεβηλώνομαι ανάμεσά τους. 27 «Οι πρίγκιπες της μέσα της είναι σαν λύκοι που σκίζουν το θήραμα, χύνοντας αίμα και καταστρέφοντας ζωές για να κερδίσουν ανέντιμο κέρδος. Ο Θεός λέει: Όποιος γεννιέται από τον Θεό αρνείται να ασκήσει αμαρτία, επειδή ο σπόρος του Θεού μένει μέσα του. δεν μπορεί να συνεχίσει να αμαρτάνει, γιατί έχει γεννηθεί από τον Θεό. 10 Με αυτό διακρίνονται τα παιδιά του Θεού και τα παιδιά του διαβόλου: Όποιος δεν ασκεί δικαιοσύνη δεν είναι από τον Θεό, ούτε είναι όποιος δεν αγαπά τον αδελφό του.11 Αυτό είναι το μήνυμα που ακούσατε από την αρχή: Πρέπει να αγαπάμε ο ένας τον άλλον. (Η αμαρτία είναι παράβαση του νόμου) Ο Yeshua χρησιμοποιεί την αναλογία των φρούτων και των δέντρων για να αναγνωρίσει τους ψευδοπροφήτες. Ο καρπός είναι η κατανόηση του Λόγου του Θεού όπως αποδεικνύεται στα αποτελέσματα μιας ζωής που έχει κατανοήσει και εφαρμόσει με ακρίβεια τον Λόγο του Θεού. Ματθαίος 12:33 «Ή κάντε το δέντρο καλό και τον καρπό του καλό, ή κάντε το δέντρο κακό και τον καρπό του κακό, γιατί το δέντρο γίνεται γνωστό από τον καρπό του. Όσο για ό,τι σπάρθηκε σε καλό χώμα, αυτός είναι που ακούει τον λόγο και τον καταλαβαίνει. Το δέντρο είναι το άτομο, ο καρπός είναι η ποιότητα ζωής που προκύπτει (όχι η κατανόηση του Λόγου του Θεού αλλά μάλλον η σωστή εφαρμογή του). Υπάρχουν πολλοί που καταλαβαίνουν και δεν εφαρμόζουν και επομένως δεν αποδίδουν καλό καρπό) — το άτομο είναι γνωστό από τον καρπό του ή από την έλλειψή του. Παρατηρήστε ότι ορίζει τι σπάρθηκε στο έδαφος για να παραχθεί το καλό δέντρο — ακούει, κατανοεί και παράγει καλό καρπό όπως είχε ήδη οριστεί ως καλό δέντρο. Η ολόψυχη εφαρμογή του Λόγου του Θεού, ή η εκτέλεση του Λόγου του Θεού, θα φέρει θλίψη στην ψυχή σε σωματικές, κοινωνικές, οικονομικές, ψυχολογικές και συναισθηματικές προκλήσεις…ή βάσανα για χάρη της βασιλείας – Ματθαίος 7:18 Ένα καλό δέντρο δεν μπορεί να φέρει κακούς καρπούς, και ένα κακό δέντρο δεν μπορεί να φέρει καλούς καρπούς. Λοιπόν, πώς μπορούμε να χαρακτηρίσουμε ή να αποκλείσουμε τα φρούτα για τα οποία μιλά ο Yeshua. Ωστόσο, κάποιος που έχει καρδιά που επιλέγει να αγνοήσει το νόμο του Θεού ΔΕΝ ΕΠΙΘΥΜΕΙ να ακολουθήσει το νόμο του Θεού. Ματθαίος 7:20 Έτσι, από τον καρπό τους θα τους αναγνωρίσετε Matt. 7:15 «Προσέχετε τους ψευδοπροφήτες. Έρχονται σε σας με ρούχα προβάτου, αλλά μέσα τους είναι άγριοι λύκοι Στίχος 16 «Από τον καρπό τους θα τους αναγνωρίσετε. Μαζεύουν οι άνθρωποι σταφύλια από αγκάθια ή σύκα από γαϊδουράγκαθα; " Ματθαίος 7:17 «Ομοίως, κάθε καλό δέντρο φέρνει καλούς καρπούς, αλλά το κακό δέντρο φέρνει κακούς καρπούς». Ματθαίος 7:18... «Ένα καλό δέντρο δεν μπορεί να φέρει κακούς καρπούς, και ένα κακό δέντρο δεν μπορεί να φέρει καλούς καρπούς». Αυτό μας επιτρέπει να γνωρίζουμε τι πρέπει να βρίσκεται στην καρδιά όλου του λαού Του. Και ΑΝ... είναι στην καρδιά μας, τότε ΘΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ η επιθυμία μας να το επιδιώξουμε. Και αν ΔΕΝ είναι στην καρδιά κάποιου, τότε θα αποδειχθεί στην επιθυμία του να ΜΗΝ το επιδιώξουν. Είτε επιθυμείτε να το υπακούσετε είτε θέλετε να το αγνοήσετε. ΔΕΝ ΜΠΟΡΟΥΝ να αναμειγνύονται. Φαίνεται δύσκολο να κρίνεις τον πάστορά σου ως ψευδοπροφήτη όταν ο τρόπος ζωής σου είναι ίδιος με τον δικό τους. Ο καρπός που πρέπει να προσέχουμε είναι η επιλογή να αγνοήσουμε το νόμο του Θεού. Όλα τα άλλα μπορούν να αναμειχθούν, αλλά δεν υπάρχει ανάμειξη της επιθυμίας για υπακοή και της επιθυμίας να αγνοηθεί ο Νόμος του Θεού. Είναι το ένα ή το άλλο στα μάτια του Πατέρα. Και να θυμάστε, η παραβίαση ενός νόμου είναι σαν να παραβιάζετε όλους. Παροιμίες 15:13 Οι δίκαιοι μισούν το ψέμα, αλλά οι ασεβείς δυσωδούν και ντροπιάζουν τον εαυτό τους. Παροιμίες 14:11 Το σπίτι των ασεβών θα καταστραφεί, αλλά η σκηνή των ορθών θα ανθίσει. 12 Υπάρχει μια οδός που φαίνεται σωστή στον άνθρωπο, αλλά το τέλος της είναι η οδός του θανάτου. Α΄ Ιωάννου 3:5 Όποιος γεννιέται από τον Θεό αρνείται να ασκήσει αμαρτία, (η αμαρτία είναι παράβαση του νόμου). 1 Ιωάννη 3:9 Επειδή ο σπόρος του Θεού μένει μέσα του. δεν μπορεί να συνεχίσει να αμαρτάνει, γιατί έχει γεννηθεί από τον Θεό. 10 (Με αυτό διακρίνονται τα παιδιά του Θεού και τα παιδιά του διαβόλου:) Όποιος δεν ασκεί δικαιοσύνη δεν είναι του Θεού, ούτε είναι όποιος δεν αγαπά τον αδελφό του. 11 Αυτό είναι το μήνυμα που ακούσατε από την αρχή: Πρέπει να αγαπάμε ο ένας τον άλλον. Τα επόμενα εδάφια θα πρέπει να επιβεβαιώνουν για άτομα που αμφισβητούν τον λόγο του Ιεχωβά με στίχους που έχουν επιλεγεί από κερασιές που έχουν αφαιρεθεί από το πλαίσιο. Ή εκείνοι που κάνουν δηλώσεις υπονοώντας ότι ο Ιεχωβά τιμωρεί κατά κάποιο τρόπο το Ισραήλ και ευλογεί την εκκλησία. Ουσιαστικά λέγοντας ότι υπάρχουν διαφορετικοί κανόνες για διαφορετικές ομάδες. Ησαΐας 53:6 Όλοι μας σαν πρόβατα έχουμε πλανηθεί, ο καθένας μας έχει στραφεί στους δικούς του τρόπος; Αλλά ο Ιεχωβά έχει κάνει την ανομία όλων μας να πέσει πάνω Του.… Yeshua. ● Αριθμοί 23:19 «Ο Θεός δεν είναι άνθρωπος, για να λέει ψέματα, ούτε γιος ανθρώπου, για να μετανοήσει· έχει πει και δεν θα το κάνει; Ή έχει μιλήσει και δεν θα το κάνει Καλός. Α Κορινθίους 3:3 Διότι ο Θεός δεν είναι ο δημιουργός της σύγχυσης, αλλά της ειρήνης, όπως σε όλες τις εκκλησίες των αγίων. Α' Ιω. 3:4 Αυτός που λέει: Τον γνωρίζω, και δεν τηρεί τις εντολές του, είναι ψεύτης, και η αλήθεια δεν είναι μέσα του. Ιωάννης 1:14 Και ο Λόγος σαρκώθηκε και κατοίκησε ανάμεσά μας (και είδαμε τη δόξα του, τη δόξα του μονογενούς του Πατρός), γεμάτος χάρη και αλήθεια. ● Εκκλησιαστής 12:14 Ας ακούσουμε το συμπέρασμα του όλου θέματος: Φοβάστε τον Θεό και τηρήστε τις εντολές του: γιατί αυτό είναι όλο το καθήκον του ανθρώπου. Παροιμίες 28:9 Όποιος στρέφει το αυτί του για να μην ακούσει τον νόμο, ακόμη και η προσευχή του είναι βδέλυγμα. 10 Αυτός που παρασύρει τους ευθύς με κακό τρόπο θα πέσει ο ίδιος στο λάκκο του, αλλά ο άμεμπτος θα κληρονομήσει το καλό... ● Παροιμίες 2:1 Γιε μου, αν λάβεις τα λόγια μου και φυλάξεις τις εντολές μου μέσα σου. 2 Κάνε το αυτί σου προσεκτικό στη σοφία, κλίσε την καρδιά σου στην κατανόηση. 3 Διότι αν φωνάζεις για διάκριση, σήκωσε τη φωνή σου για κατανόηση. … Β' Πέτρου 3: 6 Με αυτόν τον τρόπο γράφει σε όλες του τις επιστολές, μιλώντας σε αυτές για τέτοια θέματα. Μερικά μέρη των επιστολών του είναι δυσνόητα, τα οποία οι αδαείς και ασταθείς άνθρωποι διαστρεβλώνουν, όπως κάνουν οι υπόλοιπες Γραφές, προς δική τους καταστροφή. 17 Γι’ αυτό, αγαπητοί, αφού τα γνωρίζετε ήδη αυτά, να προσέχετε να μην παρασυρθείτε από την πλάνη του παράνομου και πέσετε από την ασφαλή σας θέση. 1 Ιωάννη 3:4 Καθένας που πράττει την αμαρτία, ασκεί και ανομία. Πράγματι, η αμαρτία είναι ανομία. Γαλάτες 3:10 Διότι όσοι είναι από τα έργα του νόμου είναι κάτω από την κατάρα. γιατί είναι γραμμένο: «Καταραμένος είναι όποιος δεν μένει σε όλα όσα είναι γραμμένα στο βιβλίο του νόμου να τα κάνει. «Αλλά ότι κανείς δεν δικαιώνεται από το νόμο η θέα του Θεού είναι εμφανής, γιατί «ο δίκαιος θα ζήσει με πίστη. «Όμως ο νόμος δεν είναι από πίστη, αλλά «ο άνθρωπος που τα κάνει θα ζήσει με αυτούς». Ο Ιεσιούα μας έχει λυτρώσει από την κατάρα του νόμου, έχοντας γίνει κατάρα για εμάς (γιατί είναι γραμμένο: «Καταραμένος είναι όποιος κρέμεται σε δέντρο»), για να έρθει η ευλογία του Αβραάμ στους Εθνικούς στον Ιεσιούα, ώστε να μπορεί να λάβει την υπόσχεση του Πνεύματος μέσω της πίστης.

Η Μεγάλη Θλίψη 15 «Όταν λοιπόν δείτε το «βδέλυγμα της ερήμωσης», για το οποίο είπε ο προφήτης Δανιήλ, να στέκεται στον άγιο τόπο» (όποιος διαβάζει, ας καταλάβει), 16"τότε όσοι είναι στην Ιουδαία ας φύγουν στα βουνά. 1 7 Αυτός που είναι στην ταράτσα ας μην κατέβει για να βγάλει τίποτα από το σπίτι του. 18 Και αυτός που είναι στο χωράφι ας μην επιστρέψει για να πάρει τα ρούχα του. 19 Αλλά αλίμονο σε όσες είναι έγκυες και σε αυτές που θηλάζουν εκείνες τις ημέρες! 20 Και προσευχηθείτε να μην είναι η φυγή σας χειμώνα ή Σάββατο. 21 Διότι τότε θα υπάρξει μεγάλη θλίψη, όπως δεν έχει υπάρξει από την αρχή του κόσμου μέχρι τώρα, ούτε θα υπάρξει ποτέ. 22 Και αν δεν συντομεύονταν εκείνες οι μέρες, καμία σάρκα δεν θα σώθηκε. αλλά για το [ντο ]εκλεκτών, αυτές οι μέρες θα συντομευτούν. 23 «Τότε, αν κάποιος σας πει: Δείτε, εδώ είναι ο Χριστός! ή 'Εκεί!' δεν το πιστεύω. 24 Διότι ψευδόχριστοι και ψευδοπροφήτες θα αναστηθούν και θα δείξουν μεγάλα σημεία και θαύματα για να εξαπατήσουν, αν είναι δυνατόν, ακόμη και τους εκλεκτούς. 25 Βλέπετε, σας το είπα από πριν. 26 «Γι’ αυτό, αν σας πουν: Κοιτάξτε, είναι στην έρημο! μην βγεις έξω; ή 'Κοιτάξτε, είναι στα εσωτερικά δωμάτια!' δεν το πιστεύω. 27 Διότι, όπως η αστραπή έρχεται από την ανατολή και αναβοσβήνει προς τη δύση, έτσι θα είναι και η έλευση του Υιού του ανθρώπου. 28 Γιατί όπου κι αν είναι το σφάγιο, εκεί θα μαζευτούν οι αετοί. Η έλευση του Υιού του Ανθρώπου 29 «Αμέσως μετά τη θλίψη εκείνων των ημερών ο ήλιος θα σκοτεινιάσει, και το φεγγάρι δεν θα δώσει το φως του. τα αστέρια θα πέσουν από τον ουρανό, και οι δυνάμεις των ουρανών θα κλονιστούν. 30Τότε το σημείο του Υιού του Ανθρώπου θα εμφανιστεί στον ουρανό, και τότε όλες οι φυλές της γης θα θρηνήσουν, και θα δουν τον Υιό του Ανθρώπου να έρχεται πάνω στα σύννεφα του ουρανού με δύναμη και μεγάλη δόξα. 31 Και θα στείλει τους αγγέλους Του με δυνατό ήχο σάλπιγγας, και θα συγκεντρώσουν [ρε ]εκλέξτε από τους τέσσερις ανέμους, από τη μια άκρη του ουρανού στην άλλη. Η Παραβολή της Συκιάς 32 «Τώρα μάθετε αυτή την παραβολή από τη συκιά: Όταν το κλαδί της έχει ήδη γίνει τρυφερό και βγάζει φύλλα, ξέρετε ότι το καλοκαίρι είναι κοντά. 33 Έτσι κι εσείς, όταν τα δείτε όλα αυτά, να ξέρετε ότι [μι ]είναι κοντά — στις πόρτες! 34 Βεβαίως, σας λέω, αυτή η γενιά δεν θα παρέλθει καθόλου μέχρι να γίνουν όλα αυτά. 35 Ο ουρανός και η γη θα παρέλθουν, αλλά τα λόγια Μου δεν θα περάσουν σε καμία περίπτωση. Κανείς δεν ξέρει την ημέρα ή την ώρα 36 «Αλλά για εκείνη την ημέρα και την ώρα κανείς δεν ξέρει, ούτε καν οι άγγελοι του [φά ]ουρανός, αλλά μόνο ο Πατήρ Μου. 37 Αλλά όπως ήταν οι ημέρες του Νώε, έτσι θα είναι και ο ερχομός του Υιού του Ανθρώπου. 38 Διότι, όπως τις ημέρες πριν από τον κατακλυσμό, έτρωγαν και έπιναν, παντρεύονταν και παντρεύονταν, μέχρι την ημέρα που ο Νώε μπήκε στην κιβωτό, 39 και δεν ήξεραν έως ότου ήρθε ο κατακλυσμός και τους πήρε όλους, έτσι και οι ο ερχομός του Υιού του Ανθρώπου είναι. 40 Τότε δύο άνδρες θα είναι στο χωράφι: ο ένας θα ληφθεί και ο άλλος θα αφεθεί. 41 Δύο γυναίκες θα αλέσουν στο μύλο: η μία θα ληφθεί και η άλλη θα αφεθεί. 42 Προσέξτε, λοιπόν, γιατί δεν ξέρετε τι [σολ ]ώρα έρχεται ο Κύριός σου. 43 Αλλά να ξέρετε αυτό, ότι αν ο κύριος του σπιτιού ήξερε τι [η ]την ώρα που ερχόταν ο κλέφτης, θα έβλεπε και δεν θα επέτρεπε να διαρρήξουν το σπίτι του. 44 Γι’ αυτό να είστε έτοιμοι κι εσείς, γιατί ο Υιός του Ανθρώπου έρχεται την ώρα που δεν περιμένετε. Ο πιστός υπηρέτης και ο κακός υπηρέτης 45 «Ποιος είναι, λοιπόν, ένας πιστός και σοφός υπηρέτης, τον οποίο ο κύριός του έκανε άρχοντα στο σπιτικό του, για να τους δώσει φαγητό [Εγώ ]στην κατάλληλη εποχή; 46 Μακάριος είναι ο δούλος εκείνος που ο κύριός του, όταν έρθει, θα βρει να κάνει. 47 Βεβαίως, σας λέω ότι θα τον κάνει κυρίαρχο σε όλα του τα αγαθά. 48 Αλλά αν εκείνος ο κακός υπηρέτης λέει στην καρδιά του: «Ο κύριός μου καθυστερεί [ι ]του ερχομού του», 49 και αρχίζει να δέρνει τους συναδέλφους του και να τρώει και να πίνει με τους μεθυσμένους, 50 ο κύριος εκείνου του δούλου θα έρθει μια μέρα που δεν τον ψάχνει και σε μια ώρα που δεν γνωρίζει του, 51 και θα τον κόψει στα δύο και θα του ορίσει τη μερίδα του με τους υποκριτές. Θα υπάρχει κλάμα και τρίξιμο των δοντιών. The Man of Lawlessness 2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. The Coming of the Lord 13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord,d that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.1 Corinthians 15:52 At the last Trumpets the Seventh trumpet. on the east of Trumpets Matthew 24:1–51 Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple 24 Jesus left the temple and was going away when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 2 But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” Signs of the End of the Age 3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, a “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you d are not be alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then many will fall away1 and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom 15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And b alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short. 23 then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather. The Coming of the Son of Man 29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then t all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And we will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
