WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE
WORLD?
IT'S NOT A
MYSTERY!
HOSEA
4:6
MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE:
BECAUSE THOU HAS
REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I WILL
ALSO REJECT THEE . . . SEEING THAT THOU HAS FORGOTTEN THE LAW OF THY
GOD, I WILL ALSO FORGET
THY CHILDREN.
When Moses received the Torah (613
Laws summed up in ten commandments or
categories) from YHWH on
the mountain and brought it down to the people,
it was to be implemented and followed for ALL time.
(Deut. 4:40 - Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and
his commandments, which I command thee
this day, that it may go well with thee, and with
thy children after thee, and that thou mayest
prolong thy days upon the earth, which
the LORD thy God giveth thee,
for ever.)
These Laws were not a burden, as most teach in
the corrupted American church today, nor were YHWH's
people ever to be under the law, as if it was a
heavy weight. The Law was (and is still) to be followed
so that we might receive blessing in every area of life.
The Law gives life, health, wealth, protection, provision
and every blessing one can imagine, just as we are told
in Deuteronomy chapter 28 and elsewhere in what we now
call the Old Testament.
On the flip-side of that equation, however, are
the curses that we will (and do) experience when
we believe the lies that it is no longer
necessary to follow the law, or the Law is a
burden, or the Law is only for the 'Jews'.
These arguments are patently false and have no foundation
except in the lies of the false prophet that the church
now wholeheartedly embraces to its demise, as I show in
my book. Refusal to follow the Law, as Deuteronomy 28
also clearly indicates, brings only curses; specific
curses . . . every one of which America is
experiencing today! Our governmental
leaders, pastors, preachers and evangelists are
responsible for this travesty, just like the leaders were
in the book of Numbers 25:4 when YHWH states to
Moses: . . .Take all the heads (leaders) of the
people, and hang them up (by the neck - execute
them) before the LORD against the sun, that the
fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from
Israel.
It's time for our leaders to repent and return
to the Law of YHWH so our nation may be
healed.
This Law that YHWH gave us in the
Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible;
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers
and Deuteronomy) are nothing more than the same
types of laws that He created to govern the universe,
itself, brought down to a human / social level, so that
we might have the same kind of order (health, safety,
understanding, wealth, provision etc.) in our own lives
as individuals and as a nation. For instance, if it
weren't for the law of gravity utter
chaos would ensue. When you reached for your pen you
would find it on the ceiling, cars would be flying
into upper stories of buildings and when you went to pet
your favorite animal, you may find him floating
several rooms away. The Law brings order, it
controls, it ensures our safety and our well-being.
Unlike the laws that govern our universe, however, which
don't always require our obedience to
them for us to experience their benefit, and must be
blatantly broken to experience the resulting damage or
chaos, we must choose to obey the Law of YHWH for
the resulting blessings. Obedience, in our
society however, is not looked upon as a quality
character trait as it used to be. Instead,
independence, strength, ability, pride,
individualism, autonomy and personal
choice have not only become more important
characteristics for one to develop and embrace in our
society, but they have completely destroyed the need
to follow the Law of YHWH and prevented us from
experiencing the resulting blessings on an individual as
well as a national level.
Jesus (Yashua) states in Matthew
5:17-19:
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or
the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass,
one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass
from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called
the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall
do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in
the kingdom of heaven.
Paul states in Romans
6:14b:
. . . for ye are not under the law, but
under grace.
It cannot be both ways. We cannot serve two
masters. This is one of many examples in my
book, showing the contradiction between Paul and his
doctrines that saturate the church today, and the
words of the prophets and Yashua which consistently
teach the importance of obeying the commandments of
YHWH.
Clearly, Satan wants us to disobey the
Law and will
only fight against those who choose to
obey it. We have to ask ourselves . . .
why?
Revelation 12:17
And the dragon was wroth with the
woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her
seed, which keep the
commandments of God, and have the testimony
of Jesus Christ.
