The Word of YHWH - The Word of YHWH The Word (novels for teenagers .txt) 📗

keep moving forward. Jeremiah 30:9, Acts 2:29-30, John 3:13, 5:28-29

 

As children of Abraham, we nonetheless retain some benefits. Although our selection does not come by blood, our calling may come by blood; first for the Jew, then to the lost tribes, then to us before the rest of the world. Matthew 10:5-6, Romans 1:16 In much the same way, we will be judged if we choose not to return to God. Romans 2:9, Matthew 3:8-9 In Truth, there remains a calling for a people of Ishmael, primarily to those that are here for a reason, to reason.

Consider the Christians

 

The Christians claim Jesus of Nazareth is The Son of God, The Messiah promised to come for the children of Israel and then for the rest of the world. They claim The Messiah is the fulfillment of the First Covenant and the perfect continuity to the New. They further claim The Messiah did not come to free the tribes of Israel from oppression but to save many from Sin. Hebrews 9:28

 

Unfortunately, there is something terribly wrong; either these statements are not true or none of these Christians are true. There are two reasons for this incongruity. The first is obvious to the Arab and Jew and is as follows:

 

Imagine if the peoples of the Far East were to declare themselves Christian. What if they clamored The Messiah’s name but went on to honor Him with their pagan rituals? How would you place them within this professed Christianity? Well, this is precisely how the physical children of Abraham see their supposed counterparts.

 

As Gentiles, we should know, before we claim adoption, we need to go through the process of that adoption. Acts 2:38 This process, although simplified under the New Covenant, remains to ensure a binding adoption. After all, to claim that a child of Abraham cannot be a child of God due to his willful disobedience is to admit that our adoption cannot take place based on ours. Galatians 6:7-8

 

The second reason is not obvious to anyone, more so to those that have been divided by the circus of confusion to be conquered by the puppet show. Revelation 6:2

 

The Illusion of Righteousness

 

This is the verdict: The Light has come to lead the way out, but many like living in Darkness and many more like living under the illusion of Righteousness. Isaiah 66:4, John 3:19, 2Timothy 4:3-4 This brings The Father to search the hearts of those who seek the way out. Psalms 14:2-3 Regrettably, soon after they are shown the way out, they encounter the men that prevent them from finishing what they started. Psalms 14:4, Jeremiah 29:13

 

The Messiah expresses this predicament through the following parable: Matthew 23:13 “But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.” Due to the many veils, we need to know how these men shut The Kingdom of Heaven.

 

Before The Kingdom of Heaven (The Promised Land), there is a journey unto holiness, and before this journey, there is a road unto Righteousness. Romans 6:19, 1Corinthians 1:30 In effect, these men shut The Promised Land by blocking the road unto Righteousness. There is a reason the puppets are paid by the adversary to block the road unto Righteousness.

 

You see, where the road unto Righteousness meets the journey unto holiness, there is a gate. This gate cannot be seen unless we enter the road unto Righteousness and subsequently, cannot be opened without our Faith. 2Corinthians 3:16, Job 38:36 For this reason, we need to overcome the men that block the road unto Righteousness to face the Gate. Micah 2:12-13, John 10:7-10

 

The Messiah expresses the same predicament through a different parable: Luke 14:27 “And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.”

 

Here we see once again how Righteousness precedes holiness. In this case, how the foundation of Righteousness comes before the structure of holiness. Psalms 89:14, Hebrews 12:14 Otherwise, if we build the structure of holiness before the foundation of Righteousness, the temple we are called to build will inevitably crumble the moment we fall. Matthew 7:26-27 Therefore, our objective is to focus on the phase of Righteousness before the phase of holiness. So where do we stand?

 

Let us use a menacing illustration to see the likely whereabouts:

 

In this scenario, we see how the adversary manipulates the puppets that block the way while, on the other hand, manipulates the puppets that lead the masses away; so far away that even the term of Righteousness is ever hearing but never understanding. Matthew 13:14 Sure, we hear that Faith is the wherewithal to Righteousness, but how are we to understand Faith if we do not even know the meaning of Righteousness? Job 34:33,

Hebrews 5:13

 

Now it may appear to some, the individuals being detained seem to be in better shape than the masses wandering away but let us remember, this is only part of the illusion. Matthew 23:15

 

This is the consequence of the verdict:

 

As long as you are living in Darkness, you are dying in Sin─dying every day towards your first and second Death. To put it bluntly, if you think you can Sin after God saves you from Sin then, you should know that, when you do this, you will be returning to eat your own vomit. Proverbs 26:11, 2Peter 2:21-22 “For as long as you live according to the Sinful nature, you will die, but if by The Spirit, you put to death the misdeeds of the body, then you will live.” Romans 8:13 Perhaps your preacher never told you that unless you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you owe a second Death. Ezekiel 18:24, Romans 6:20-23 Evidently, what he was told to say, by his puppeteer, in various twisted words, is that you can Sin over and over again and you will not surely Die. Genesis 3:4

 

The illusion of Righteousness is by far the most successful opium the enemy has devised. It is so successful that even logic no longer makes sense. 1Timothy 4:1, 1John 5:19 Reason this, how can man be free from Sin while being a slave to Sin? John 8:34, Romans 6:18 Can a man be dead to Sin and be alive in Sin? Romans 6:2 Can this be any more clear?

 

1John 3:7 “Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous. 8 He that committeth Sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit Sin; for His Seed remaineth in him: and he cannot Sin, because he is born of God.” “So let God be true and every man a liar,” for “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:34-36 Do you believe this? John 11:25-26, Luke 1:37

 

How can we, unless we hear the Gospel that saves? Romans 10:14 But is it not true that we have already heard this? Romans 10:18 “Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.” So then, what happened? 2Peter 2:19, 2Corinthians 11:3 Can God find my innocence within my guilt? John 8:24

 

The time has come for a longstanding wish to come true. Luke 12:49, 2Peter 3:10-11 Thankfully, not before we get ready to leave this world and prepare others to endure the terrible times ahead. Romans 13:11, 1Peter 4:17, Revelation 18:4, Matthew 9:37-38, Isaiah 42:16 And not before we undergo a similar Baptism with the same eagerness to complete it. Luke 12:50

 

The Ladder and The Tree

 

In order to overcome the puppets that led us astray and the puppets that blocked the way, The Word of YHWH is coming to us in the form of two analogies that, when fused together, describe the perfect process of our refinement. Luke 8:10 The first analogy is similar to the Hebrew transitory day, which begins in darkness and ends with the light. In much the same way, man begins his life in Darkness until God calls him to the protection of The Light. Genesis 1:5, Ephesians 5:8

 

This process begins when The Word of God bestows a man the Lamp of Truth to guide him to the protection of The Light where, upon exiting Darkness, he will never see another night. Psalms 119:105, 1Peter 2:9, 1Thessalonians 5:5-11 While the journey continues, the night never comes because the day never ends. John 8:12 What does end is the journey that prepared him to leave this world. Because this destination is out of this world, a spiritual road must come from above to guide us where no man has ever been before. John 3:13

 

 

 

 

 

Analogy of The Ladder

The Road

 

The Road that leads to Heaven is The Ladder that came from Heaven and revealed to the patriarch Jacob in a dream. Genesis 28:12 “And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. 13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.” Today we know the meaning of The Ladder: John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 1:51 “And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.”

 

The analogy of the Ladder is a process that is similar to a ladder. The similarities are as follows: as a ladder has a series of steps, the Ladder has a series of steps; as an effort is required to move up a ladder, an effort is required to move up the Ladder; as a ladder is inherently one, the Ladder is inherently one; as a ladder is personal, the Ladder is personal; and as a ladder is narrow, the Ladder unto Salvation is so narrow that only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14

 

Because of this, we cannot carry any baggage as none is required or even allowed. Instead, we are to move spiritually naked with only a humble and Repentant heart. The time will come when The Father will suit us with the ensemble that is befitting to the journey at hand. Galatians 3:27, Ephesians 6:13-17, 2Corinthians 5:3 Then, at the appointed time, our Father, who stood above the Ladder, will accomplish the last step for us. Psalms 68:20

 

These are the steps of the Ladder:

 

Step 1 Truth: The calling by The Truthgiver through the Lamp of Truth

Step 2 Faith: The outcome of accepting step 1 as one

Step 3 Repentance: The Road to Righteousness

Step 4 Baptism of Water: The point where the Gate separates us from Darkness (Death to Sin)

Step 5 Baptism of The Spirit: The point where man enters the protection
