    (There is not a secret rapture; Christians are taught it is so secret it is not found in the bible. This rapture is only for Christians, the Jews will be left behind to go through the tribulation.) Once you are on the path to salvation you are grafted into Israel you are a spiritual Jew. The True Rapture will happen on the feast of Trumpets GO Pre, Mid dan post trib Rapture Catholic Church Admits They Made the Change of Sabbath The second Exodus Yeshua Berbicara tentang Masa Depan.Tidak ada pengangkatan rahasia! (Tidak ada pengangkatan rahasia; orang Kristen diajarkan itu sangat rahasia sehingga tidak ditemukan dalam Alkitab. Pengangkatan ini hanya untuk orang Kristen, orang Yahudi akan tertinggal untuk melewati masa kesusahan .) Matius 24: Begitu Anda berada di jalan menuju keselamatan, Anda dicangkokkan ke Israel, Anda adalah seorang Yahudi spiritual. Tidak, seorang Yahudi sejati adalah orang yang hatinya lurus dengan Tuhan. Dan sunat yang sejati bukan hanya mematuhi hukum tertulis; sebaliknya, itu adalah perubahan hati yang dihasilkan oleh Roh. Dan orang yang berubah hati mencari pujian dari Tuhan, bukan dari manusia. Roma 2:29 Tanda apa yang menandakan kembalinya Anda dan akhir dunia? Awal dari kesedihan. Ketika Anda melihat 'kekejian kehancuran,' “maka biarlah orang-orang yang berada di Yudea melarikan diri ke pegunungan. Paskah Sukkot Greater Keluaran Kemudian mereka akan mengantarkanmu ke kesengsaraan dan membunuhmu, Untuk kemudian akan ada kesusahan besar Karena Mesias palsu dan nabi palsu akan muncul dan menunjukkan tanda dan keajaiban yang besar untuk menipu, Tetapi dia yang bertahan sampai akhir akan diselamatkan. “Segera setelah kesusahan pada hari-hari itu, matahari akan menjadi gelap, dan bulan tidak akan memancarkan cahayanya; bintang-bintang akan berjatuhan dari langit, dan kekuatan langit akan terguncang. 30 Kemudian tanda Anak Manusia akan muncul di surga, Murka Tuhan Yesus Memprediksi Kehancuran Bait Allah 24 Kemudian Yesus keluar dan meninggalkan bait suci, dan murid-murid-Nya datang untuk menunjukkan kepada-Nya bangunan bait suci. 2 Dan Yesus berkata kepada mereka, “Apakah kamu tidak melihat semua hal ini? Dengan pasti, saya katakan kepada Anda, tidak ada satu batu pun yang akan ditinggalkan di sini di atas yang lain, yang tidak akan diruntuhkan.” Tanda-tanda Zaman dan Akhir Zaman 3 Sekarang ketika Dia duduk di Bukit Zaitun, para murid datang kepada-Nya secara pribadi, berkata, “Beri tahu kami, kapan hal-hal ini akan terjadi? Dan apakah tanda kedatangan-Mu dan tanda akhir zaman?” 4 Dan Yesus menjawab dan berkata kepada mereka: “Waspadalah agar tidak ada yang menipu kamu. 5 Karena banyak orang akan datang dalam nama-Ku, mengatakan, 'Akulah Kristus,' dan akan menipu banyak orang. 6 Dan kamu akan mendengar tentang perang dan desas-desus tentang perang. Pastikan Anda tidak bermasalah; untuk [A ]semua hal ini harus terjadi, tetapi kesudahannya belum. 7 Karena bangsa akan bangkit melawan bangsa dan kerajaan melawan kerajaan. Dan akan ada kelaparan, [B ] wabah penyakit, dan gempa bumi di berbagai tempat. 8 Semua ini adalah awal dari kesedihan. 9 “Kemudian mereka akan menyerahkanmu kepada siksaan dan membunuhmu, dan kamu akan dibenci oleh semua bangsa demi nama-Ku. 10 Dan kemudian banyak yang akan tersinggung, akan mengkhianati satu sama lain, dan akan membenci satu sama lain. 11 Kemudian banyak nabi palsu akan muncul dan menipu banyak orang. 12 Dan karena semakin bertambahnya pelanggaran hukum, maka kasih banyak orang akan menjadi dingin. 13 Tetapi dia yang bertahan sampai akhir akan diselamatkan. 14 Dan Injil kerajaan ini akan diberitakan di seluruh dunia sebagai kesaksian bagi semua bangsa, dan kemudian akhir itu akan datang. Kesengsaraan Besar 15 “Oleh karena itu, ketika kamu melihat 'kekejian yang membinasakan,' yang dibicarakan oleh nabi Daniel, berdiri di tempat suci” (siapa pun yang membaca, biarlah dia mengerti), 16“maka biarkan mereka yang berada di Yudea melarikan diri ke pegunungan. 1 7 Hendaknya orang yang di atas atap rumah tidak turun untuk mengambil apa pun dari rumahnya. 18 Dan janganlah orang yang ada di ladang kembali untuk mengambil pakaiannya. 19 Tetapi celakalah mereka yang hamil dan mereka yang menyusui bayi pada masa itu! 20 Dan berdoalah agar pelarianmu tidak terjadi pada musim dingin atau pada hari Sabat. 21 Karena pada saat itu akan ada kesengsaraan besar, seperti yang belum pernah terjadi sejak permulaan dunia hingga saat ini, tidak, dan tidak akan pernah terjadi. 22 Dan kecuali hari-hari itu dipersingkat, tidak ada daging yang akan diselamatkan; tapi untuk [C ]demikian, hari-hari itu akan dipersingkat. 23 ”Kalau ada yang berkata kepadamu, 'Lihat, ini Kristus!' atau 'Di sana!' jangan percaya. 24 Karena Kristus-Kristus palsu dan nabi-nabi palsu akan muncul dan menunjukkan tanda-tanda besar dan keajaiban untuk menipu, jika mungkin, bahkan orang-orang pilihan. 25 Lihat, saya telah memberi tahu Anda sebelumnya. 26 Karena itu jika mereka berkata kepadamu, 'Lihat, Dia ada di padang gurun!' jangan pergi keluar; atau 'Lihat, Dia ada di kamar dalam!' jangan percaya. 27 Karena seperti kilat datang dari timur dan memancar ke barat, demikian juga kedatangan Anak Manusia. 28 Karena di mana ada bangkai, di situ burung elang akan berkumpul. Kedatangan Anak Manusia 29 “Segera setelah kesusahan pada hari-hari itu, matahari akan menjadi gelap, dan bulan tidak akan memancarkan cahayanya; bintang-bintang akan berjatuhan dari langit, dan kekuatan langit akan terguncang. 30Kemudian tanda Anak Manusia akan muncul di surga, dan kemudian semua suku di bumi akan meratap, dan mereka akan melihat Anak Manusia datang di atas awan di langit dengan kuasa dan kemuliaan yang besar. 31 Dan Dia akan mengirimkan malaikat-malaikat-Nya dengan suara terompet yang nyaring, dan mereka akan mengumpulkan [D ]memilih dari empat mata angin, dari satu ujung surga ke ujung lainnya. Perumpamaan Pohon Ara 32 “Sekarang pelajarilah perumpamaan ini dari pohon ara: Ketika cabangnya sudah menjadi lunak dan mengeluarkan daun, kamu tahu bahwa musim panas sudah dekat. 33 Jadi kamu juga, ketika kamu melihat semua hal ini, ketahuilah bahwa [e ]sudah dekat—di pintu! 34 Dengan pasti, Aku berkata kepadamu, generasi ini tidak akan berlalu sampai semua hal ini terjadi. 35 Langit dan bumi akan berlalu, tetapi firman-Ku tidak akan berlalu. Tidak Ada Yang Tahu Hari atau Jamnya 36 “Tetapi tentang hari dan saat itu tidak seorangpun yang tahu, malaikat-malaikat [F ]surga, tetapi BapaKu saja. 37 Tetapi sama seperti pada zaman Nuh, demikian pula kedatangan Anak Manusia kelak. 38 Karena seperti pada hari-hari sebelum air bah, mereka makan dan minum, kawin dan mengawinkan, sampai hari Nuh masuk ke dalam bahtera, 39 dan tidak tahu sampai air bah datang dan membawa mereka semua pergi, demikian juga akan kedatangan Anak Manusia. 40 Kemudian ada dua orang di ladang: yang satu akan dibawa dan yang lain akan ditinggalkan. 41 Dua wanita akan menggiling di kilangan: yang satu akan dibawa dan yang lain akan ditinggalkan. 42 Perhatikan, oleh karena itu, karena kamu tidak tahu apa [G ] jam Tuhanmu akan datang. 43 Tetapi ketahuilah ini, bahwa jika tuan rumah telah mengetahui apa [H ] jam pencuri akan datang, dia akan mengawasi dan tidak membiarkan rumahnya dibobol. 44 Karena itu bersiaplah juga, karena Anak Manusia akan datang pada waktu yang tidak kamu duga. Hamba yang Setia dan Hamba yang Jahat 45 “Siapakah hamba yang setia dan bijaksana, yang diangkat tuannya menjadi kepala atas rumah tangganya, untuk memberi mereka makanan [Saya ]pada musimnya? 46 Berbahagialah hamba yang didapati tuannya melakukan hal itu ketika tuannya datang. 47 Dengan pasti, Aku berkata kepadamu bahwa dia akan menjadikannya penguasa atas semua harta miliknya. 48 Tetapi jika hamba yang jahat itu berkata dalam hatinya, 'Tuanku menunda-nunda [J ]kedatangannya,' 49 dan mulai memukuli sesama hambanya, dan makan dan minum dengan para pemabuk, 50 tuan dari hamba itu akan datang pada hari yang tidak dicarinya dan pada jam yang tidak disadarinya dari, 51 dan akan memotongnya menjadi dua dan menetapkan bagiannya bersama orang-orang munafik. Akan ada tangisan dan kertakan gigi. 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. 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 u nsettled 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.

  • Spirit | Answers 4 Saints

    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

  • Worship God in Spirit n Truth | Answers 4 Saints

    Worship God in Spirit and Truth You can not come before God with anything you are nothing Spirit You can not come before God with anything you are nothing Spirit Body and Soul Narrow Gate & Path Key points about these verses: Nature of God: John 4:24 establishes that God is a Spirit, requiring spiritual worship. Guidance and Strength: Romans 8:26 highlights the Holy Spirit's role in assisting believers in prayer, even when they don't know what to ask for. Living a Christian Life: Galatians 5:16 encourages walking in the Spirit to resist fleshly desires. Respecting the Holy Spirit: Ephesians 4:30 warns against grieving the Holy Spirit, implying His personhood. Teaching and Remembrance: John 14:26 describes the Holy Spirit as the "Helper" who will teach and remind believers of Jesus' words. Spiritual sacrifices Do justice Do kindness and walk humbly with your God A broken spirit A broken and contrite heart Lear to do good Seek justice Defend the orphan Plead for the widow Love your neighbor as yourself The verse "Draw near to God and he will draw to you" is found in James 4:8 It is a promise highlighting that when individuals take steps to pursue a relationship with God—through prayer, repentance, and repentance—He responds by drawing near to them, offering intimacy, grace, and presence. Romans 10:10 states: "For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." This verse highlights that salvation involves internal faith in Yeshua resurrection and external confession of Him as Lord, marking a move from legalism to grace. . Key Interpretations of Romans 10:10: Internal and External: It unites internal transformation with external testimony. Heart Belief (Justification): Faith in the heart refers to true, internal trust in God, which makes a person righteous (justified) in God’s sight. Mouth Confession (Salvation): Openly declaring that Jesus is Lord is the outward expression of that internal faith, leading to the assurance of salvation. Role of Grace: This verse underscores that salvation is a gift from God based on faith, not by works or personal performance The Absolute Requirement Romans 8:9 “If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him ” This is not a suggestion. It is a clear dividing line. E zekiel 36:27“I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. ” The Holy Spirit was never given so we could continue living however we want. His primary work is to empower and cause us to obey the Father’s Torah.1 John 3:24“Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.”You can only have confidence that the Spirit of God truly lives in you if you are actively keeping His commandments. Acts 5:32“And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.”God does not give His Holy Spirit to the rebellious or the lawless. He gives the Spirit to those who obey Him The Primary Test from Scripture 1. Do you belong to Yeshua? (The foundational test) Romans 8:9 “But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” If you truly belong to Yeshua (you have repented and trusted in Him), then you have the Spirit. But the next verses show how we can know it is real. 2. Is the Spirit causing you to obey God’s commandments? Ezekiel 36:27 “I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.” This is one of the clearest promises in the New Covenant. The Holy Spirit’s job is not just to make us feel saved — He causes obedience to the Father’s Torah (statutes and judgments). 3. Do you keep His commandments? 1 John 3:24 “Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.” John says this is how we know the Spirit is in us — by a lifestyle of keeping God’s commandments. 4. Has God given you the Spirit because you obey Him? Acts 5:32 “And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.” Obedience and the presence of the Spirit go together. God does not give His Spirit to those who persist in rebellion and lawlessness. Additional Evidences (Supporting Signs) While obedience is the clearest biblical test, other signs often appear when the Spirit is truly at work: The fruit of the Spirit growing in your life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). A deepening love for God, His Word, and His ways. Conviction of sin when you disobey (the Spirit will not let you stay comfortable in sin). A desire and growing ability to walk in holiness rather than the desires of the flesh. A Straightforward Answer You can know you have the Spirit of Christ if: You truly belong to Yeshua, and Your life is marked by a real, growing obedience to the Father’s commandments (not perfect sinlessness, but a clear direction away from lawlessness and toward holiness). If someone claims to have the Spirit but continues living in open rebellion against God’s Torah with no conviction or desire to change, the Bible says that is a serious warning sign (see also 1 John 2:3-6 and Matthew 7:21-23). The Final Verdict To truly “belong to Him” is to be born again — not just in words, but with a total change of identity. You are transferred from the family of rebels on the Broad Way into the family of obedient sons and daughters on the Narrow Path. Here is the sobering test: If the Holy Spirit is not causing you to walk in the Father’s Torah — His statutes and judgments — then you are still ruling your own life. You may boast that you are “free” from the Law, but in reality you are “free” from the King’s authority, “free” from His protection, and outside the gates of the New Jerusalem. Yeshua warned: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom… but only he who does the will of My Father” (Matthew 7:21). The Process of Being Born Again (Including Baptism) Being born again is a supernatural work of God through His Holy Spirit. It is not earned by human effort, but it follows a clear biblical pattern. Here is the full process: Hearing the Word of God The process begins when a person hears the gospel — the good news that Yeshua the Messiah died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 10:17). Conviction by the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit convicts the heart of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). The person recognizes their rebellion against God’s Torah and their desperate need for forgiveness and a new heart. Repentance True repentance is a change of mind and direction. You turn away from sin and self-rule (the Broad Way of lawlessness) and turn toward God with a willingness to obey Him (Acts 3:19; Luke 13:3). Faith / Belief in Yeshua You place your full trust in Yeshua as Lord and Savior, believing that His blood cleanses you from all sin and His resurrection gives you new life (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:16). The Miracle of New Birth (Regeneration) God sovereignly causes you to be born again by His Spirit. You receive a new heart and a new spirit (Ezekiel 36:26). The Holy Spirit comes to live inside you and begins to cause you to walk in the Father’s statutes and judgments (Ezekiel 36:27; Romans 8:9). Water Baptism – The Outward Act of Obedience After being born again, the next step of obedience is water baptism. Baptism is not what saves you or causes the new birth, but it is the biblical way to publicly identify with Yeshua’s death, burial, and resurrection. “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Yeshua the Messiah for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38) Baptism is an act of burial (the old rebel life is buried) and resurrection (you rise to walk in newness of life). It is a public declaration: “I no longer belong to myself — I belong to Yeshua and His Kingdom.” Obedience as Ongoing Evidence The Holy Spirit now lives in you and produces fruit. You know the Spirit is truly in you because you keep God’s commandments and walk in His ways (1 John 3:24; Acts 5:32). A. The "Death" of the Old Man Born Again You cannot be "Born Again" until the "Old Man" (the rebel who hates the Sabbath and the Dietary Laws) dies. You must surrender your "opinion" to the King's Truth. The Broad Way: Tries to "add" Jesus to their old, lawless life. The Narrow Path: Buries the old life and rises as a New Creation. B. The "Implantation" of the Seed Peter says we are born again by the Incorruptible Seed of the Word (1 Peter 1:23). The Seed: The Torah (The Father's Instructions). The Growth: When the Spirit plants this seed in your heart, it must produce the Father's fruit. If you are born of a Holy Father, you will produce Holiness (Obedience). C. The "Sealing" (The Passport) The moment the Spirit enters, you are Sealed (Eph 1:13). This is your "Identification" for the New Jerusalem. The Proof: How do you know the "Transaction" happened? Ezekiel 36:27 says the Spirit will cause you to walk in His statutes. If you aren't walking in them, the transaction didn't take place. The Condensed "Born Again" Summary "Being Born Again is the moment you trade your 'Lawless Autonomy' for the King’s 'Spirit-Led Obedience.' It’s when the Holy Spirit moves in, kills the rebel in you, and starts rewriting the Father’s Torah on your heart so you can finally 'Hit the Mark' (Righteousness)." The "Attention-Grabbing" Question "If being Born Again means receiving a New Nature that loves the King’s Ways, then why are you still using your 'Grace' as a reason to keep the same 'Old Nature' that ignores His Sabbath and His Laws?" . The Transformation The New Nature: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." — 2 Corinthians 5:17 Spirit and Water: "Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." — John 3:5 The Result: Obedience shifts from an external "rule" to an internal "desire," fulfilling the promise that the Law would be written on our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33). The Transformation From Law to Heart: Obedience is no longer a struggle against your nature; it becomes the desire of your new nature. The Public Seal: Baptism serves as the official "crossing over" from the world's kingdom into God's Kingdom. The Result: Your internal spirit and external actions (Truth) finally align, allowing you to worship in a way that is both sincere and grounded in reality.

  • Judgement | Answers 4 Saints

    Then comes the judgement 📋 The Final Appointment with God Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment,— Hebrews 9:27 Here is the expanded, 10-question version of the test. It drives home the absolute weight of that single, unavoidable appointment with death and judgment, stripping away every possible excuse a churchgoer might use to stall. Question 1: The Timeline of Repentance Traditional church culture often conditions people to think they have plenty of time to align their lives with the truth later on. According to the absolute law of mortality, when does your opportunity to stop practicing lawlessness (anomia) permanently end? A) It extends past the grave, offering a second chance to look at the commandments. B) The exact second your physical breath stops. There are no extensions, no revisions, and no delays. Question 2: The Representation at the Throne When you stand at the judgment seat described in Hebrews 9:27, who will be standing there with you to answer for the way you lived your life? A) Your pastor, your spouse, or your church community to help explain your traditions. B) Absolutely no one. You will stand entirely alone, answering directly for whether you physically walked as He walked. Question 3: The Currency of Judgment Many churchgoers rely on their regular attendance, church titles, or good intentions as their security. When the books are opened after death, what is the ultimate standard of measurement? A) How popular your church was and how sincere your human traditions felt. B) Literal alignment with the unchanging Word of God and the physical footsteps of the Messiah (1 John 2:6). Question 4: The Delusion of "Later" If a conditioned mind looks at a clear commandment today (like the Seventh-Day Sabbath or the dietary laws) and says, "I'll look into that some other time," what are they gambling with? A) A harmless delay that grace will automatically cover. B) A sudden, unannounced arrival at their fixed appointment with death—sealing them forever in a state of unacknowledged betrayal. Question 5: The Passing Grade Fallacy Many churchgoers believe they will pass judgment because they are "better than most people" or because they don't do "the really bad sins." What does the mirror of God’s Law say about this excuse at judgment? A) God grades on a curve and compares you to the rest of the world. B) God compares you strictly to His perfect standard. Breaking even one point of the Torah makes you guilty of lawlessness. Question 6: The Pastor’s Accountability Shield If your local pastor told you from the pulpit that the Seventh-Day Sabbath was changed or that the dietary laws were done away with, whose head will that error fall on when you stand before the throne? A) The pastor will take the blame, and you will be let off the hook for just following orders. B) You will answer for your own blindness. The blind leading the blind means both fall into the ditch. Question 7: The Finality of the Closed Door In Matthew 25, the foolish virgins arrived late, knocked on the door, and cried out to be let in. What does their sudden, permanent rejection teach us about the moment after death? A) That God will eventually relent if you beg long and hard enough after you die. B) That once the door of mortality is shut, the Master's decision is final and absolute. Question 8: The Myth of the Church Altar Many rely on a past prayer, a baptism certificate, or an emotional night at a church altar as a permanent insurance policy against judgment. If that past event didn't result in a lifestyle of physical obedience, what is it worth on Judgment Day? A) It is a valid, unbreakable contract of salvation regardless of how you lived. B) It is a worthless piece of paper that proves you talked the talk but refused to walk the walk. Question 9: The "Depart from Me" Reality In Matthew 7:22-23, the people rejected by Yeshua were completely shocked. They expected a reward. What was the exact reason they were cast away on their judgment day? A) They didn't do enough church activities or build a big enough ministry. B) They practiced anomia—living a lifestyle completely detached from and opposite to God’s Torah. Question 10: The Ultimate Fear of Man If you refuse to obey the Creator's physical commandments today because you are terrified that your friends, family, or church will turn on you, what are you failing to realize about the moment of death? A) That keeping the peace with people on earth is more important than keeping the covenant. B) That every single person you are trying to please today will be completely absent from your judgment. Their opinions will mean nothing when you face the Judge. ⚖️ The Verdict Blueprint If you chose "B" for every answer: Awake to Reality. You understand that time is a luxury you do not own. You recognize that the delusion of traditional comfort will instantly vaporize the moment you close your eyes in death, leaving you alone before the Judge. If you made excuses or chose "A": Stalling in Delusion. You are currently banking on a traditional safety net that does not exist in scripture. You are treating a terrifying, fixed appointment like an optional meeting. "Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." — Proverbs 27:1 The clock is ticking down to your appointment. Drop the church excuses, face the mirror, and align your walk with the Messiah before your time runs out. This diagnostic test uses the same direct, mirroring method. It contrasts the common theological defenses used to excuse a lawless lifestyle with the stark, uncompromised warnings found throughout the scriptures. 📋 The "Profession vs. Walk" Mirror Test Instructions: Answer these 4 direct questions honestly based on the everyday choices, priorities, and scriptural claims of the modern believer you are evaluating. Question 1: The Definition of Deception If this person reads the warning in James 1:22 ("Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves"), how do they reconcile their own lifestyle? A) They recognize that "doing the Word" means physically mimicking the obedience, Sabbaths, and righteousness of the Messiah, viewing any other path as self-deception. B) They believe that mentally agreeing with theology or sitting in a pew satisfies the text, using "grace" to redefine a hearer as a doer. Question 2: The Fruit of Knowing Him According to 1 John 2:4, "The man who says, 'I know Him,' but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him." When confronted with the actual commandments Christ kept (the Torah), how does this person respond? A) They acknowledge that to know Him is to obey the same instructions He obeyed, striving for total alignment with His walk. B) They claim they "know Him" through an emotional connection or a past prayer, dismissing His actual commands as an outdated yoke meant only for a bygone era. Question 3: The True Measure of Love When Jesus says, "If you love me, keep my commandments," and John reinforces it in 1 John 5:3 ("For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments"), what does "love" look like in this person's life? A) Love is treated as a binding action of physical obedience to the Father's established instructions and statutes. B) Love is treated as a subjective feeling, a sentimental vibe, or an internal emotion that requires no adherence to a biblical calendar, diet, or Sabbath. Question 4: The Reality of Coming Judgment Scripture states in John 3:36 that "anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but will remain under God's angry judgment." Knowing that the Son explicitly warned in Matthew 5:17–19 that not a single jot or tittle would pass from the Law, how does this person view the final accounting? A) They realize that the Son commands an active turn away from lawlessness (sin) and toward the Torah, making repentance a physical U-turn in behavior. B) They assume their confession shields them from any requirement to obey, believing the Son "fulfilled" the Law so that they are free to ignore it without facing consequences. The Scoring Key: Look back at the boxes checked. If the answers lean toward B, the mirror reveals a sobering truth: it is impossible to claim the destination of the Savior while walking in the exact opposite direction.

    "And you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of YEHOVAH and do them, and that you [may] not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined, What does the tzitzit symbolize? Each tassel has eight threads (when doubled over) and five sets of knots, totaling 13. The sum of all numbers is 613, traditionally the number of commandments in the Torah. This reflects the concept that donning a garment with tzitzit reminds its wearer of all Torah commandments, as specified in Numbers 15:39. Tassels and Tzitzit Gods commandments 613 OT 1050 NT Jumbai dan Tzitzit Bil 15:38 - "Berbicaralah kepada orang Israel: Katakan kepada mereka untuk membuat jumbai di sudut pakaian mereka dari generasi ke generasi, dan untuk menempatkan benang biru di jumbai sudut. - "Dan kamu akan memiliki jumbai, agar kamu dapat melihatnya dan mengingat semua perintah YEHOVAH dan melakukannya, dan agar kamu [tidak boleh] mengikuti perzinahan yang cenderung dilakukan oleh hatimu dan matamu sendiri, - "dan agar kamu mengingat dan melakukan semua perintah-Ku dan menjadi kudus bagi Elohimmu. Jadi itu perintahnya. Itulah yang diperintahkan untuk kita patuhi. Dan kebanyakan orang bahkan tidak menyadari bahwa perintah ini bahkan ada di dalam Kitab Suci. Tapi itu ada. Sekarang beberapa orang percaya bahwa perintah khusus ini sekarang telah dikesampingkan atau dihapuskan atau disingkirkan; kita tidak perlu melakukannya lagi karena sekarang kita memiliki Roh Kudus untuk mengingatkan kita akan perintah-perintah dan kita tidak memerlukan rangkaian tali untuk mengingatkan kita akan perintah-perintah. Tapi mari kita lihat alasan mereka sebentar. Yeshua memang mengatakan: Yohanes 14:26 - “Tetapi Penghibur, yaitu Roh Kudus, yang akan diutus oleh Bapa dalam nama-Ku, Dialah yang akan mengajarkan segala sesuatu kepadamu dan akan mengingatkan kamu akan semua yang telah Kukatakan kepadamu. ini sebagai dihapuskan, bahwa Roh Kudus sekarang adalah apa yang Yehovah telah berikan kepada kita untuk mengingat hal-hal yang diperintahkan kepada kita. Tetapi kita harus berhati-hati dalam menggunakan penalaran manusia untuk mencoret atau menghapus perintah-perintah Yehovah. Kita harus melakukannya benar-benar berhati-hati tentang itu. Hanya karena Roh Kudus mampu membawa Firman Yehovah ke dalam ingatan kita tidak berarti kita tidak akan lagi memiliki pengingat apa pun tentang Firman Yehovah dan bahwa Roh Kudus menggantikan segalanya. Karena sebenarnya, kita memiliki semua jenis pengingat di dalam Kitab Suci. Tizitiz The wearing of tzitzit, is a constant reminder and an awareness to others of our obedience to God's commands. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Exodus 12:49 The knots on the tzitzit represent six hundred and thirteen commandments. Some are for men, women, children, Priests, and the temple Numbers 15:39. The White Cords Every time you look up and see white clouds you are to remember to be holy just as He is Holy, you are to refuse to practice sinning God only gives His Spirit to those who refuse to practice sinning and obey His commandments. 1 Peter 1:16 1 John 3:4T The Blue cord reminds us of the ocean, sky, and God's throne. It also reminds us of our personal relationship with God. blue is the color of God's Glory. The Chain represents bondage to sin, The Spirit first convicts people of their sin, bringing to mind God's standards and leading them to repentance. God restrains sin through conscience Yeshua wore the tizitzit as of obediently to God's commands.

Yesaya 35:8 Saat Anda tertidur, Anda mendengar dengan sangat jelas nama Anda dipanggil, suara yang begitu keras hingga getarannya mengguncang tempat tidur Anda. Sangat menakutkan, Anda merasa sakit. Anda membuka mata dan menemukan diri Anda dikelilingi oleh jutaan orang yang menangis dan ketakutan. Saat Anda melihat sekeliling, Anda melihat tahta putih besar penghakiman dan Dia yang duduk di atasnya yang tak terlukiskan, megah dan indah. Di belakang singgasana ada api besar, nyala api begitu tinggi dan terang hingga mencapai langit. Kemudian Anda mendengar suara keras yang membuat semua orang berlutut. Dua malaikat memukulkan tongkat mereka ke lantai. Selanjutnya, Anda melihat malaikat mengambil seorang pria dan membawanya ke tempat api berada, dan mereka melemparkannya ke lubang api, di mana dia tidak ada lagi. Setelah itu Anda mendengar sebuah nama dipanggil dan Anda melihat dua malaikat lagi keluar dan memilih seorang wanita kali ini, dia dibawa ke tahta dimana ada buku terbuka. Mereka menurunkannya di depan singgasana. Namun, Anda tidak dapat mendengar apa yang dikatakan, Anda dapat merasakan perasaan sedih yang kuat datang dari singgasana. Kemudian Anda mendengar suara berkata, "mengapa kamu tidak mencintaiku, dan ikuti instruksiku"? Anda diberi banyak kesempatan, tetapi Anda menolak. Saya mengirim beberapa utusan untuk memperingatkan Anda, tetapi Anda menolak saya. Aku memberimu Tauratku. Saya mengirimi Anda putra saya sebagai contoh sempurna tentang bagaimana saya ingin Anda hidup. Dia menjalankan perintah diet saya, Dia menjaga Sabat hari ketujuh saya, Dia menjaga hari-hari raya saya, Dia menjaga semua hukum dan ketetapan saya. Kemudian kedua sudut memukul tongkat mereka dan membawanya pergi ke api. Dan dia tidak ada lagi. Semua orang sangat ketakutan sehingga mereka berteriak meminta kesempatan lagi, tetapi tidak ada jawaban. Tiba-tiba Anda mendengar nama Anda, Anda sangat takut, Anda berlutut dan menangis, Anda melihat ke atas dan melihat dua malaikat datang ke arah Anda saat mereka mendekat Anda merasakan tangan mereka menyentuh bahu Anda. Saat mereka akan merebutmu; Anda bangun dengan pesan ini.

  • I Didnt come to bring peace but a swordd | Answers 4 Saints

    Christ didn't come to bring peace but a sword The Real Jesus Not Peace, but a Sword 34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. Matthew 10:34-36 Watchman’s Message In the message in Hosea, Yehovah is saying my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. He is warning us that it is our responsibility to give them warning from Him, about the coming wrath that is coming on this earth. Our Father repeated these few verses, He wants us to understand that He is serious, and will hold us accountable if we don't warn them (“son of man" denotes mankind generally) Hebrew people, This passage from Ephesians 4:25 urges believers to reject falsehood, lies, and deceit in favor of speaking the truth to their neighbors. The core reasoning is that Christians are interconnected members of one body—the body of Christ—making lying to one another equivalent to harming oneself. Sheep among Wolves …20 For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death. 22 You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.… Matthew 10:20-22 “I’ve come to start a fire on this earth—how I wish it were blazing right now! I’ve come to change everything, turn everything right side up—how I long for it to be finished! Do you think I came to smooth things over and make everything nice? Not so. I’ve come to disrupt and confront! From now on, when you find five in a house, it will be— Three against two, and two against three; Father against son, and son against father; Mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; Mother-in-law against bride, and bride against mother-in-law.” Luke 12:49 Therefore, rejecting all falsehood [whether lying, defrauding, telling half-truths, spreading rumors, any such as these], SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE WITH HIS NEIGHBOR , for we are all parts of one another [and we are all parts of the body of Christ]. New Life in Christ Ephesians 4:25 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. 25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another. 26“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger, BE ANGRY [at sin--at immorality, at injustice, at ungodly behavior], YET DO NOT SIN; do not let your anger [cause you shame, nor allow it to] last until the sun goes down. 27 And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness]. 28 The thief [who has become a believer] must no longer steal, but instead he must work hard [making an honest living], producing that which is good with his own hands, so that he will have something to share with those in need. 29 Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak]. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [but seek to please Him], by whom you were sealed and marked [branded as God’s own] for the day of redemption [the final deliverance from the consequences of sin]. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor [perpetual animosity, resentment, strife, fault-finding] and slander be put away from you, along with every kind of malice [all spitefulness, verbal abuse, malevolence]. 32 Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding] , forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave [c] you. I Never Knew You 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ Matthew 7:21-23 Narrow gate 13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction , and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Matthew 7:13-14 Many are called but few are chosen

    For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.The purpose of life? And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true Yehovah, and Yeshua messiah, the one you sent to earth. Have reverence for God, and obey His commands, because this is all that we were create Child of God or a child of the Devil EVERY SINGLE WORD in the Bible deserves our highest regard and careful obedience. Scripture isn't a collection of suggestions or optional wisdom —it's God-breathed, profitable for teaching, correcting, and guiding us in righteousness (as 2 Timothy 3:16 puts it). We should hold each word in reverence and commit to following it fully, letting it shape how we live, speak, and love others. Apakah Anda mencintai Tuhan? What does God’s word actually say about this —plainly, without my spin?” It’s easier to justify than to submit. It’s more comfortable to reinterpret than to repent. (James 1:23–25). Scripture splits humanity into two distinct categories based on their relationship to God and His commandments. If God calls His covenant-keeping people saints (those set apart), He refers to the others as: 1. The Lawless (or Wicked) In the New Testament, Yeshua and the Apostles frequently contrast the saints with those who live without regard for God's instructions. The Greek term: Anomia (literally "without law" or "violating the law"). The Warning: I n Matthew 7:23, Yeshua warns those who claim to know Him but ignore the commandments: "Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!" 2. The Unjust (or Unrighteous) The Bible repeatedly contrasts the two groups when discussing judgment. The Contrast: In 1 Corinthians 6:1, Paul asks why a believer would take a matter before the unjust rather than before the saints. The Destiny : 2 Peter 2:9 states that God knows how to deliver the godly, but keeps the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment. 3. The Children of Disobedience (or Children of the Devil) When addressing who rules a person's life and actions, Scripture uses family terms. The Actions : Ephesians 2:2 speaks of the spirit that works in the children of disobedience. The Definition: 1 John 3:10 draws the line clearly: "In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness [keeping the commandments] is not of God." The Definitive Verse: Revelation 14:12 identifies the first group perfectly: "Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Yeshua." By biblical definition, anyone outside of that description falls into the category of the lawless, the unjust, or the disobedient. This diagnostic test uses the final book of scripture to draw a line in the sand. It forces you to look at the two distinct categories of humanity established by the Creator, using Revelation 14:12 as the ultimate boundary marker. 📋 The "Saints vs. The Lawless" Definitive Boundary Test Instructions: Answer these 4 direct questions to determine which biblical category your daily life, your habits, and your theology place you in. Question 1: The Mark of a Saint In Revelation 14:12, the scripture gives a precise, two-part definition of a saint: "Here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Yeshua." Based on this verse, how do you define your identity? A) A Saint (Set-Apart). You recognize that true faith in the Messiah is inseparable from a physical walk of keeping the Father's Torah. Your life displays both parts: total trust in Yeshua and meticulous care for His instructions. B) A Cultural Believer. You claim to have "faith in Jesus," but you believe His commandments are obsolete or optional, cutting the verse in half and choosing a path that scripture defines as incomplete. Question 2: The Practice of Anomia (Lawlessness) In Matthew 7:23, the Master issues a terrifying warning to people who fully believed they were in the Kingdom: "Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness (anomia—living without regard for God's law)." When you examine your lifestyle, do you treat the Torah as active law? A) You Reject Lawlessness. You actively study the Torah to identify sin so you can completely purge it from your actions, treating His rest days, dietary boundaries, and moral laws as non-negotiable. B) You Practice Anomia. You live your life based on church traditions, personal feelings, or cultural convenience, considering yourself exempt from the physical laws of God under the guise of "grace." Question 3: The Fruit of Righteousness vs. Disobedience According to 1 John 3:10, the line between the children of God and the children of the devil is stark: "Whoever does not practice righteousness [keeping the commandments] is not of God." When the Father looks at your daily practice, what family lineage does it reveal? A) A Child of God. Your regular, daily practice is righteousness. You actively obey the Father's voice, making your spiritual DNA obvious through visible, physical fruits of obedience. B) A Child of Disobedience. Your daily practice matches the world's standard. You follow the crowd, ignore the biblical calendar, eat what the world eats, and shrug off the lifestyle of Yeshua, aligning with the spirit described in Ephesians 2:2. Question 4: The Courtroom of the Unjust In 1 Corinthians 6:1, Paul rebukes believers for seeking judgment and direction from the "unjust" (unrighteous) rather than from the saints. When you seek wisdom, direction, or validation for how you live, where do you go? A) The Royal Law. You turn strictly to the unchanging Word of God and the example of Yeshua, using the standard of the saints to settle how you walk. B) The Standard of the World. You look to the theological systems of the modern world, human consensus, or comfortable sermons that tell you exactly what your itching ears want to hear, relying on an unjust standard. The Definitive Verdict: Review where your checked boxes land. Scripture leaves zero room for a third option, a middle ground, or a gray area. If your choices consistently land on B, the mirror exposes a vital reality: By biblical definition, anyone who does not keep the commandments of God and the faith of Yeshua falls directly into the category of the lawless, the unjust, or the disobedient. True faith is not a mental concept or a verbal claim—it is a physical lifestyle. If you want to be counted among the saints who endure with patience, you must abandon the broad road of anomia today and begin walking exactly as Yeshua walked. , Anak Yehovah Atau anak setan. Karena mereka yang dipimpin oleh Roh Allah adalah anak-anak Allah. Yesaya 61:1 Tujuan hidup? Dan ini adalah cara untuk memiliki hidup yang kekal—untuk mengenal Anda, satu-satunya Tuhan yang benar, dan Mesias Yeshua, yang Anda utus ke bumi. Yohanes 17:3 Setelah semua ini, hanya ada satu hal yang harus dikatakan: Hormati Tuhan, dan patuhi perintah-Nya, karena ini semua kita diciptakan untuk ini adalah tugas semua orang. Pengkhotbah 12:13 Apa itu pendosa? Setiap orang yang berbuat dosa melanggar hukum Allah karena dosa sama dengan melanggar hukum Allah. 1 Yohanes 3:4 Orang yang berbuat dosa berasal dari iblis, 1Yoh 3:8 Tuhan membenci doa orang yang mengabaikan hukum. Amsal 28:9 Semua pembohong akan menemukan diri mereka di danau belerang yang membara. Inilah kematian yang kedua.” Wahyu 21:8 Anda harus dibenarkan . Karena bukan para pendengar hukum yang adil di hadapan Allah, tetapi para pelaku hukum akan dibenarkan. Roma 2:13 Anda harus bertobat Aku datang bukan untuk memanggil mereka yang menganggap diri mereka benar, tetapi mereka yang tahu bahwa mereka adalah orang berdosa dan perlu bertobat.” Lukas 5:32 Anda harus benar Anak-anak yang terkasih, jangan biarkan siapa pun menipu Anda tentang hal ini. Ketika orang melakukan apa yang benar, itu menunjukkan bahwa mereka benar, sama seperti Kristus adalah benar. 8 Tetapi ketika orang terus berbuat dosa, itu menunjukkan bahwa mereka milik iblis, 1Yohanes 3:7 Aku datang bukan untuk memanggil mereka yang mengira diri mereka benar, tetapi mereka yang tahu bahwa mereka adalah orang berdosa dan perlu bertobat. “Lukas 5:32 Kewajiban setiap orang tua? Kata-kata ini, yang saya perintahkan kepada Anda hari ini, akan ada di hati Anda. 7“Kamu harus mengajarkannya dengan rajin kepada putra-putramu dan harus membicarakannya ketika kamu duduk di rumahmu dan ketika kamu berjalan di jalan dan ketika kamu berbaring dan ketika kamu bangun. 8“Kamu harus mengikatkannya sebagai tanda di tanganmu dan itu harus menjadi bagian depan di dahimu. 9Kamu harus menuliskannya pada tiang pintu rumahmu dan pada pintu gerbangmu. Ulangan 6:4-9 Setiap orang harus dilahirkan kembali Siapa pun yang lahir dari Allah menolak melakukan dosa karena benih Allah tinggal di dalam dia; ia tidak dapat terus berbuat dosa, karena ia telah dilahirkan dari Allah. 10Dengan ini anak-anak Allah dibedakan dari anak-anak iblis: Siapa pun yang tidak melakukan kebenaran tidak berasal dari Allah, juga bukan siapa pun yang tidak mengasihi saudaranya. 1John3:9 Apa yang akan terjadi padamu ketika kamu mati? Setiap orang pasti mati satu kali, dan setelah itu dihakimi oleh Tuhan, Ibrani 9:27 Iman menurut Kitab Suci didefinisikan sebagai: Iman adalah: percaya bahwa semua yang Tuhan katakan adalah benar, berkomitmen untuk mengikuti apa yang dikatakannya, dan kemudian melakukan apa yang dikatakan Firman. Dengan kata lain, percaya/percaya, berkomitmen untuk menaati atau melakukan, dan kemudian tindakan menaati/melakukannya. Cara lain kami mengatakannya adalah: Iman adalah percaya, berkomitmen dan percaya kepada Tuhan dan Firman-Nya. Seluruh umat manusia berada “di bawah hukum” (Hukum dosa dan kematian) sampai mereka datang ke dalam perjanjian melalui iman kepada Mesias dan menerima keselamatan oleh kasih karunia melalui iman itu. Anak-anak Allah melalui Iman 23 Sebelum jalan iman kepada Kristus tersedia bagi kita, kita ditempatkan di bawah penjagaan hukum. Kami ditahan dalam tahanan protektif, boleh dikatakan begitu, sampai jalan iman terungkap. 24 Biarkan saya mengatakannya dengan cara lain. Hukum adalah pelindung kita sampai Kristus datang; itu melindungi kita sampai kita dapat dibenarkan dengan Allah melalui iman. 25 Dan sekarang jalan iman telah datang, kita tidak lagi membutuhkan hukum sebagai pelindung kita. 26Karena kamu semua adalah anak-anak Allah karena iman dalam Kristus Yesus. 27 Dan semua orang yang telah dipersatukan dengan Kristus dalam baptisan telah mengenakan Kristus, seperti mengenakan pakaian baru' 28Tidak ada lagi orang Yahudi atau bukan budak atau orang merdeka, laki-laki dan perempuan. Karena kamu semua adalah satu di dalam Kristus Yesus. 29Dan sekarang, karena kamu adalah milik Kristus, kamu adalah anak-anak Abraham yang sejati. Anda adalah ahli warisnya, dan janji Tuhan kepada Abraham adalah milik Anda. Cara kita diselamatkan adalah percaya bahwa kita telah berdosa dan pantas mati karena Firman mengatakan demikian. Yohanes 3:3 Yesus menjawab, "Aku mengatakan yang sebenarnya kepadamu, kecuali kamu dilahirkan kembali, kamu tidak dapat melihat Kerajaan Yehovah." Kisah Para Rasul 2:38 Petrus menjawab, "Kamu masing-masing harus bertobat dari dosa-dosamu dan berbalik kepada Yehovah dan dibaptis dalam nama Yeshua Mesias untuk pengampunan dosa-dosamu. Kemudian Anda akan menerima karunia Roh Kudus. Amsal 28:9 Siapa memalingkan telinganya untuk tidak mendengarkan hukum, doanya pun adalah kekejian. Pengkhotbah 12:13 Itulah keseluruhan ceritanya. Inilah kesimpulan saya sekarang: Takutlah akan Yehovah dan patuhi perintah-perintah-Nya, karena ini adalah tugas setiap orang. Galatia 3:28 Tidak ada lagi orang Yahudi atau bukan Yahudi, hamba atau orang merdeka, laki-laki dan perempuan. Karena kamu semua adalah satu di dalam Kristus Yeshua. Yakobus 1:22 Tetapi jangan hanya mendengarkan firman Yehuwa. Anda harus melakukan apa yang dikatakannya. Jika tidak, Anda hanya membodohi diri sendiri. “Lalu Yehovah berkata kepadaku, teriakkan pesannya! Jangan menahan diri. Katakan kepada umat-Ku Israel: Kamu telah berdosa! Anda telah berbalik melawan Yehovah Elohim Anda. Yesaya 58:1 "Ketika Anda menceritakan semua ini kepada mereka, jangan harap mereka akan mendengarkan. Teriakkanlah peringatan Anda, tetapi jangan harap mereka akan menanggapinya. Katakan kepada mereka, 'Ini adalah bangsa yang rakyatnya tidak akan patuh Tuhan Allah mereka dan yang menolak untuk diajar.(Yeremia 7:27) (Ini adalah Anak Iblis) Karena Tuhan adalah Roh, jadi mereka yang menyembahnya harus menyembah dalam roh dan kebenaran. “Yohanes 4:24 Persembahkanlah tubuhmu sebagai persembahan yang hidup, kudus dan berkenan kepada Allah, itulah ibadah rohanimu. Roma 12:1-2 Kebenaran adalah Taurat Tuhan Anda harus dipimpin oleh Roh Gal 5:18

Comparison: Exodus vs. Tribulation You’ll notice some striking similarities between the 10 plagues of the Exodus (which we just discussed for Passover) and the 21 judgments of the Tribulation. This is often seen as a biblical "echo": Water to Blood: In Exodus, it was just the Nile; in the Tribulation (Trumpets and Bowls), it affects all the seas and rivers. Boils/Sores: I n Exodus, this was the 6th plague; in the Tribulation (1st Bowl), it strikes those who have the Mark of the Beast. Darkness: In Exodus, it lasted three days; in the Tribulation (5th Bowl), it plunges the kingdom of the Beast into darkness. Locusts: In Exodus, they were literal insects; in the Tribulation (5th Trumpet), they are described as "demonic" locusts with stings like scorpions. The Key Difference In the Exodus, the 10 plagues were sent to a specific location (Egypt) to free a specific people. In the Tribulation, these 21 judgments are global, intended to lead the world to repentance before the final judgment. Since you've been looking into the Book of Revelation and the Lamb's Book of Life recently, would you like me to find the specific verses where these "Bowl" judgments begin, or perhaps a timeline of how the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls overlap? To help you visualize how these events unfold in the Book of Revelation, here is a breakdown of the 21 Judgments and how they overlap throughout the Tribulation period. Timeline of the 21 Judgments Most scholars view these judgments as a "telescoping" sequence: the 7th Seal opens the 7 Trumpets, and the 7t h Trumpet opens the 7 Bowls. 1. The 7 Seals (The Beginning of Sorrows) 1st Seal: The White Horse (The Antichrist rises as a false peacemaker). 2nd Seal: The Red Horse (Global war and civil strife). 3rd Seal: The Black Horse (Famine and hyperinflation). 4th Seal: The Pale Horse (Death of one-fourth of the world's population). 5th Seal: The Souls Under the Altar (Martyrdom of those who turn to God). 6th Seal: The Great Earthquake (Sun turns black, moon turns to blood). 7th Seal: Silence in Heaven (The 7 Trumpets are prepared). 2. The 7 Trumpets (Increasing Severity) 1st Trumpet: Hail and fire mixed with blood (1/3 of the earth’s vegetation burned). 2nd Trumpet: A "great mountain" falls into the sea (1/3 of the sea becomes blood). 3rd Trumpet: The star "Wormwood" falls (1/3 of fresh water becomes bitter). 4th Trumpet: 1/3 of the sun, moon, and stars are darkened. 5th Trumpet: Locusts from the Bottomless Pit (5 months of torment). 6th Trumpet: Four angels released from the Euphrates (Death of 1/3 of humanity). 7th Trumpet: The Kingdoms of the World (The 7 Bowls are prepared). 3. The 7 Bowls (The Final Wrath) 1st Bowl: Malignant sores on those with the Mark of the Beast. 2nd Bowl: The entire sea turns to blood (all sea life dies). 3rd Bowl: All rivers and springs turn to blood. 4th Bowl: The sun scorches people with fierce heat. 5th Bowl: Total darkness over the kingdom of the Beast. 6th Bowl: The Euphrates River is dried up (preparing for the Battle of Armageddon). 7th Bowl: "It is Done" (The greatest earthquake in history and 100-lb hailstones). The Parallel to the "First Death" In your recent study of the "Second Death" (Revelation 20:14), these judgments represent the final warnings for the living. While the 10 plagues of Exodus led to the physical freedom of Israel, these 21 judgments lead to the final spiritual separation of those written in the Lamb's Book of Life from those who are not. Since we've looked at the timeline, would you like to see the specific verses in Revelation 16 that describe the final "Bowl" judgments, or perhaps more on how the Mark of the Beast relates to the first Bowl? Since you are focusing on the Bowl Judgments (often called the "Vials of Wrath"), it’s important to see how they differ from the Seals and Trumpets. While the earlier judgments affected one-fourth or one-third of the earth, the Bowls are "full" and affect everything—they are the final strokes before the return of Christ. Here is the breakdown of the specific verses in Revelation 16 where these final plagues begin. The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath (Revelation 16) 1st Bowl (v. 2): The Grievous Sores "The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image." 2nd Bowl (v. 3): The Sea Turns to Blood "The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died." (Unlike the 2nd Trumpet, which hit 1/3, this hits 100% of the ocean). 3rd Bowl (v. 4–7): Fresh Water Turns to Blood "The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood." 4th Bowl (v. 8–9): The Sun Scorches "The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire." Instead of repenting, the text says they cursed the name of God. 5th Bowl (v. 10–11): Darkness on the Throne "The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness." 6th Bowl (v. 12–16): The Euphrates Dries Up "The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East." This leads directly to the gathering at Armageddon. 7th Bowl (v. 17–21): "It Is Done" "The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air... there came a loud voice from the throne, saying, 'It is done!'" This triggers the greatest earthquake in human history and 100-pound hailstones. The Connection to the "Mark of the Beast" The 1st Bowl is specifically targeted at those who have taken the Mark of the Beast (Revelation 13:16-18). In your recent study of the Lamb's Book of Life, this is the "point of no return." Those who receive the mark are excluded from the book and become the primary targets of these final seven plagues. A Biblical Pattern: Passover vs. Revelation Just as the Israelites were protected in the land of Goshen while the 10 plagues hit Egypt, many interpret the Sealing of the 144,000 and the safety of the faithful as a modern "Passover." While the world faces the Bowls of Wrath, those in the Book of Life are seen as "passed over" by the Second Death. Since we are looking at the drying of the Euphrates in the 6th Bowl, would you like to see how that connects to the Battle of Armageddon, or should we look closer at the White T hrone Judgment where the books are finally opened?

  • Let No One Judge You (colossians 2 | Answers4saints.com

    Paul warned against using self-denial “Wherefore if you be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are you subject to ordinances, (touch not; taste not; handle not; which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? Let no one judge you Perlu diingat bahwa surat ini ditulis kepada para petobat Yunani yang tinggal di Kolose, Colasa berjarak lebih dari 800 mil dari Yerusalem. Ada sangat sedikit orang Yahudi yang tinggal di daerah itu pada waktu itu. Teman-teman petobat Yunani membuat mereka kesulitan untuk menilai perubahan hidup baru mereka. Memelihara perintah Allah. Here is a simple Yes or No Test based on the statement "Let no one judge you" (Colossians 2:16): Let No One Judge You — Yes or No Test 1.Do you believe God's commandments are good and should be obeyed? ___ 2.Do you allow others to shame or condemn you for following what you believe Scripture teaches? ___ 3.Do you seek to please God rather than men? ___ 4.If you choose to observe a Sabbath, feast day, or dietary practice, do you do so to honor God? ___ 5.Do you judge another person's salvation solely because they observe or do observe certain days or foods? ___ 6.Are your beliefs based on Scripture rather than human traditions? ___ 7.When criticized for your faith, do you remain faithful to your convictions? ___ 8.Do you examine teachings carefully before accepting them? ___ 9.Do you strive to obey God from the heart rather than for the approval of others? ___ 10.Do you remember that your ultimate Judge is God? ___ Conclusion Mostly Yes: You are seeking to stand firm in your convictions before God rather than being controlled by the opinions of others. Mostly No: Consider whether fear of people, traditions, or outside pressure is influencing your walk with God more than Scripture and your conscience before Him. Paulus memperingatkan agar tidak menggunakan penyangkalan diri sebagai alat untuk mengandalkan kehendak sendiri. Dia menyebutnya "akan menyembah." “Oleh karena itu jika Anda mati bersama Kristus dari dasar dunia, mengapa,seolah-olah hidup di dunia, apakah Anda tunduk pada tata cara, (jangan menyentuh; tidak mengecap; tidak memegang; yang semuanya binasa dengan penggunaan;) menurut perintah dan ajaran manusia? Hal-hal yang benar-benar menunjukkan hikmat dalam penyembahan kehendak, dan kerendahan hati, dan pengabaian tubuh: tidak menghormati apapun untuk memuaskan daging” (Kolose 2:20-23). Umat YEHOVAH merendahkan diri melalui puasa untuk mendekatkan diri kepada-Nya -- sehingga mereka dapat belajar berpikir dan bertindak seperti Dia -- sehingga mereka dapat menjalani cara hidup-Nya dalam segala hal. Perhatikan apa yang ditulis nabi Yeremia:“Beginilah firman TUHAN, Janganlah orang bijak bermegah dalam kebijaksanaannya, janganlah orang yang perkasa bermegah dalam kekuatannya, janganlah orang kaya bermegah dalam kekayaannya: tetapi biarlah dia yang bermegah bermegah dalam hal ini, bahwa dia mengerti dan mengenal Aku, bahwa Akulah TUHAN yang menunjukkan kasih sayang , keadilan, dan kebenaran, di bumi: karena hal-hal inilah yang kusukai, demikianlah firman TUHAN” (9:23-24). Puasa (dan doa) membantu orang Kristen mendekatkan diri kepada Allah YEHOVAH. Kekejian Pagan Bertopeng sebagai Kekristenan! YEHOVAH Allah bukanlah pencipta kekacauan (I Korintus 14:33).Dia tidak pernah melembagakan Prapaskah, ketaatan kafir menghubungkan pesta pora dengan dugaan kebangkitan Mesias palsu. (Pesta Tammuz) YEHOVAH Tuhan memerintahkan umat-Nya untuk mengikuti Dia -- bukan tradisi manusia. Jalan YEHOVAH lebih tinggi, lebih baik dari manusia (Yesaya 55:8-9).Manusia tidak dapat menentukan sendiri benar atau salah atau bagaimana menyembah Allah YEHOVAH dengan benar. Mengapa? Karena “hati [pikiran] lebih licik dari segala sesuatu, dan sangat jahat” (Yeremia 17:9), dan “jalan manusia bukanlah pada dirinya sendiri; bukan manusia yang berjalan untuk menentukan langkahnya sendiri” (10:23). YEHOVAH Allah merancang kita dan memberi kita kehidupan. Dia tahu bagaimana kita seharusnya menyembah Dia. Untuk menjadi seorang Kristen dan melayani Allah YEHOVAH dengan benar, Anda harus hidup “dari setiap firman yang keluar dari mulut Allah” (Matius 4:4), menyadari bahwa Kitab Suci-Nya “tidak dapat dilanggar” (Yohanes 10:35). YEHOVAH Tuhan memerintahkan orang Kristen untuk melarikan diri dari tradisi dan kebiasaan kafir dunia ini (Wahyu 18:2-4), saat ini dipimpin dan ditipu oleh Setan si Iblis (II Korintus 4:4; Wahyu 12:9). Prapaskah mungkin tampak seperti ketaatan beragama yang tulus dan sepenuh hati. Tapi itu berakar dalam pada ide-ide kafir yang memalsukan rencana YEHOVAH. YEHOVAH Allah membenci semua perayaan kafir (Yeremia 10:2-3; Imamat 18:3, 30; Ulangan 7:1-5, 16). Mereka tidak dapat “dikristenkan” atau dibersihkan oleh manusia. Itu termasuk Prapaskah. Jika Anda seorang Kristen sejati, Anda akan berkata seperti Daud -- “Melalui ajaran-ajaranmu aku memperoleh pengertian: oleh karena itu aku membenci setiap jalan yang salah”! (Mazmur 119:104). Hidup bersama Kristus (Efesus 2:1–10 ) 6 Karena itu, sama seperti Anda telah menerima Kristus Yesus sebagai Tuhan, teruslah berjalan di dalam Dia,7 berakar dan dibangun di dalam Dia, diteguhkan dalam iman sebagaimana Anda diajar, dan melimpah dengan rasa syukur. 8 Pastikan tidak ada yang membawa Anda tertawan melalui filosofi dan penipuan kosong,yang didasarkan pada tradisi manusia dan kekuatan spiritualdunia bukan pada Kristus. 9 Untuk dalam Kristus semua kepenuhan Ketuhanan berdiam dalam bentuk tubuh.10 Dan Anda telah disempurnakan di dalam Kristus, yang adalah kepala atas setiap penguasa dan otoritas. 11 Di Dia Anda juga disunat, dalam menanggalkan sifat berdosa Anda, dengan sunat yang dilakukan oleh Kristus dan bukan oleh tangan manusia.12 Dan setelah dikuburkan bersama Dia dalam baptisan, Anda dibangkitkan bersama Dia melalui iman Anda pada kuasa Allah, yang membangkitkan Dia dari antara orang mati. 13 Kapan kamu telah mati karena pelanggaranmu dan karena sifat dosamu yang tidak bersunat, Allah membuatmu hidup dengan Kristus. Dia mengampuni kita semua pelanggaran kita,14 memiliki membatalkan hutang yang dianggap berasal dari kami dalam keputusan yang menentang kami. Dia mengambilnya, memakukannya di kayu salib!15 Dan Setelah melucuti kekuatan dan otoritas, Dia menjadikan mereka tontonan publik, menang atas mereka dengan salib. 16 Oleh karena itu janganlah ada yang menghakimi Anda dengan apa yang Anda makan atau minum, atau sehubungan dengan pesta, Bulan Baru, atau Sabat.17 Ini adalah bayangan dari hal-hal yang akan datang, tetapi tubuh yang melemparkannya adalah milik Kristus. C 18 Lakukan jangan biarkan siapa pun yang menyukai kerendahan hati palsu dan penyembahan malaikat mendiskualifikasi Anda dengan spekulasi tentang apa yang telah dilihatnya. Orang seperti itu menjadi sombong tanpa dasar oleh pikirannya yang tidak rohani.19 Dia telah kehilangan hubungan dengan kepala, yang darinya seluruh tubuh, yang ditopang dan disatukan oleh persendian dan ligamennya, tumbuh sebagaimana Tuhan membuatnya tumbuh. 20 Jika Anda telah mati bersama Kristus untuk kekuatan spiritual dunia, mengapa, seolah-olah Anda masih milik dunia, Anda tunduk pada peraturannya: 21 “Jangan dipegang, jangan dicicipi, jangan disentuh!”?22 Ini semua akan musnah dengan penggunaan karena didasarkan pada perintah dan ajaran manusia.23 Seperti itu restrictions memang memiliki penampilan kebijaksanaan, dengan ibadah yang ditentukan sendiri, kerendahan hati palsu, dan perlakuan kasar terhadap tubuh; tetapi mereka tidak ada nilainya melawan pemanjaan daging. 2 Saya ingin Anda tahu betapa sulitnya saya berjuang untuk Anda dan untuk mereka yang di Laodikia, dan untuk semua yang belum bertemu saya secara pribadi. 2 Tujuan saya adalah agar mereka terhibur dalam hati dan bersatu dalam kasih, sehingga mereka memiliki kekayaan pemahaman yang utuh, agar mereka dapat mengetahui misteri Allah, yaitu Kristus, 3 yang di dalamnya tersembunyi semua harta hikmat dan ilmu.4 Aku memberitahumu ini agar tidak ada yang bisa menipumu dengan argumen yang terdengar bagus. 5 Karena meskipun aku tidak ada dalam tubuhmu, aku hadir bersamamu dalam roh dan senang melihat betapa disiplinnya Anda dan betapa teguhnya iman Anda kepada Kristus. Kepenuhan Rohani di dalam Kristus 6 Jadi, sama seperti kamu menerima Kristus Yesus sebagai Tuhan,terus jalani hidupmu di dalam dia , 7 berakar dan dibangun di dalam dia, dikuatkan dalam iman sebagaimana kamu diajar, dan melimpah dengan rasa syukur. 8Pastikan bahwa tidak ada yang membawa Anda tertawan melalui filosofi yang hampa dan menipu, yang bergantung pada tradisi manusia dan kekuatan spiritual unsur [A ] dunia ini daripada Kristus. 9 Karena di dalam Kristus semua kepenuhan Ketuhanan hidup dalam bentuk tubuh, 10dan di dalam Kristus kamu telah dibawa kepada kepenuhan . Dia adalah kepala atas setiap kekuasaan dan otoritas. 11 Di dalam Dia kamu juga disunat dengan sunat yang tidak dilakukan oleh tangan manusia. Seluruh dirimu dikuasai oleh daging[B ] ditunda ketika Anda disunat oleh [C ] Kristus,12 telah dikuburkan bersamanya dalam baptisan, di mana Anda juga dibangkitkan bersamanya melalui iman Anda pada pekerjaan Allah, yang membangkitkan dia dari kematian. 13 Ketika kamu mati dalam dosa-dosamu dan dalam keadaan tidak bersunat, Allah menjadikan kamu[D ] hidup bersama Kristus. Dia mengampuni segala dosa kita, 14telah membatalkan tagihan hutang hukum kami , yang melawan kami dan mengutuk kami; dia telah mengambilnya, memakukannya di kayu salib. (Hukum dosa dan maut Hhukuman karena berbuat dosa) 1 5 Dan setelah melucuti pemerintah dan penguasa, dia membuat mereka menjadi tontonan umum, menang atas mereka dengan salib.e ] 1 6 Karena itu jangan biarkan siapa pun menghakimi Anda dengan apa yang Anda makan atau minum, atau sehubungan dengan hari raya keagamaan, perayaan bulan baru atau hari Sabat. 1 7 Ini adalah bayangan dari apa yang akan datang; kenyataannya, bagaimanapun, ditemukan di dalam Kristus. 18Jangan biarkan siapa pun yang menyukai kerendahan hati palsu dan penyembahan malaikat mendiskualifikasi Anda. Orang seperti itu juga sangat mendetail tentang apa yang telah mereka lihat; mereka sombong dengan gagasan-gagasan sia-sia oleh pikiran mereka yang tidak rohani. 19 Mereka telah kehilangan hubungan dengan kepala, yang darinya seluruh tubuh, yang ditopang dan disatukan oleh ligamen dan uratnya, tumbuh sebagaimana Allah membuatnya tumbuh. 20 Karena Anda mati bersama Kristus untuk kekuatan spiritual dasar dunia ini, mengapa, seolah-olah Anda masih milik dunia, Anda tunduk pada aturannya: 21 “Jangan pegang! Jangan mencicipi! Jangan sentuh!"? 22 Aturan-aturan ini, yang berkaitan dengan hal-hal yang semuanya ditakdirkan untuk musnah karena digunakan, hanya didasarkan pada perintah dan ajaran manusia. 23 Peraturan-peraturan seperti itu memang tampak bijaksana, dengan pemujaan yang dipaksakan sendiri, kerendahan hati palsu dan perlakuan kasar mereka terhadap tubuh, tetapi tidak ada nilainya dalam menahan pemanjaan indria.
