We all were born into a ready man-made religion. Including Pastors. However, it shows that we relied on men to teach us, instead of God. Look around do you see sin everywhere including inside the church? Most people in the church don't know what sin is, and they practice sinning every LORD's Sabbath Please leave any comments or suggestions that I need to add to the website, thank you Get in touch First Name Last Name Email Phone Message Submit

THE FINAL JUDGMENT "He that rejects Me and doesn't receive my words has one that judges him: the WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, the same shall judge him in the last day." ETERNAL JUDGMENT The truth about hell False prophet Christ a dit "Il y a plus de gens qui vont en enfer qu'au paradis" 1 John 3:4 in Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. All who indulge in a sinful life are dangerously lawless, for sin is a major disruption of God's order. The word eternal means constant or forever. The Bible refers to the final judgment that God will declare on individuals. This judgment will determine our state for eternity. It's important to realize that all judgment comes through Jesus, the Son of God. This diagnostic test brings the entire scriptural warning to its absolute climax: the Great White Throne Judgment. It forces the reader to stand before the opened books of record and the standard of the Spoken Word, confronting whether their lifestyle is being actively washed clean by the blood of the Lamb through a return to the Torah, or if they are coasting toward eternal destruction. 📋 The "Great White Throne & The Opened Books" Test Instructions: Answer these 4 final questions with absolute sobriety, evaluating your life against the infallible, courtroom evidence of the heavenly court. Question 1: The Standard of the Courtroom In John 12:48, the Judge declares the exact law book of the court: "He that rejects Me and doesn't receive my words has one that judges him: the WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN , the same shall judge him in the last day." When you stand before the throne, what standard will determine your destiny? A) The Spoken Word. You recognize that the unchanging Word of God—the Torah, the statutes, and the life-giving commands practiced by Yeshua—is the final law of the land. You are actively aligning your life, your diet, and your Sabbath with that standard today. B) Human Tradition . You believe that your modern church culture, personal opinions, or the consensus of the crowd will be accepted as a valid defense, assuming the Judge will overlook your disregard for His spoken commands. Question 2: The Evidence in the Books Revelation 20:12 states that the dead will be judged "according to their works, by the things that were written in the books." Knowing that 1 John 3:4 defines sin explicitly as the practice of lawlessness (anomia), what does the daily record of your actions look like right now? A) Cleaned and Transformed. The books record a life that stopped practicing lawlessness. Your past sins have been washed clean by the Blood of the Lamb, and your current record shows a dedicated pursuit of righteousness and obedience. B) Continuous Lawlessness . The books are actively recording a lifestyle that mimics the world. You routinely cross His boundaries, ignore His calendar, and live without regard for His laws, falsely hoping the record won't matter on that day. Question 3: The Severity of Willful Defiance The scripture asks a terrifying question in 1 Peter 4:17–18: If judgment begins at the house of God, "what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? " If the Father did not spare His own Son when He took on our sin, how do you view your personal accountability? A) Fearful Reverence. You realize that Yehovah is righteously incapable of overlooking unrepented sin. You treat His commands with the highest regard, knowing that the willful and rebellious will face retribution and total exclusion from the Kingdom. B) Presumptuous Security . You assume that because you made a verbal confession, you have a pass to remain willful and sloppy in your lifestyle, believing a loving God would never actually execute His written wrath on you. Question 4: The Sifting of the Book of Life At the final accounting, Daniel 7:10 and Revelation 20:12 show that the heavenly court will sit, and a meticulous search will be made through the Book of Life for the names of those standing there. What is the evidence today that a name is securely written in that book? A) You Listen and Respond . As John 8:47 states, because you belong to Yehovah, you actively listen to and physically obey His words. Your faith is visible, tangible, and set apart from the world. B) You Look and Walk Away. You talk about God, but your feet walk the broad highway to destruction (Matthew 7:13). Your life lacks the physical fruit of the New Covenant, proving that you are only fooling yourself. The Final Verdict: Look at where your checked boxes land. There is no appeal process at the Great White Throne, and there are no hidden motives that the light of His face will not expose. If your choices land squarely on B, the mirror delivers the ultimate, uncompromised truth: How you live your life is the only real evidence of what you believe internally. A major disruption of God's order cannot enter His future Kingdom. If you refuse to judge yourself by the Word today, you will be broken by that same Word on the last day. The books are being written every single hour you have breath. Turn away from the broad road of lawlessness, drop the traditions of men, and submit your walk completely to the King while the door of repentance is still open. JUGEMENT ÉTERNEL LA RAISON DU JUGEMENT 1. A cause du péché contre Ses lois. "Tous ceux qui ont péché [manqué le but] dans la loi seront jugés par la loi" (Romains 2:12) "L'âme qui pèche mourra" (Ezéchiel 18: 4; aussi, Romains 3:23) 2 À cause de la désobéissance - en ce que Yehovah est juste et ne peut ignorer le péché, la pénalité pour la loi enfreinte doit être respectée. Ceux qui ne connaissent pas Yehovah ainsi que ceux qui n'obéissent pas à l'évangile encourent Sa colère. Il y a deux catégories citées dans 2 Thessaloniciens 1 : 8 ; Romains 2 : 8, 9 Parce que l'impiété et l'injustice sont inacceptables pour sa sainteté, et les pécheurs ne peuvent pas entrer en sa présence. Hébreux 7:26 ; 1 Pierre 1:15,16; 1 Timothée 6:13-16 ; Apocalypse 15:4 Sa justice exige la rétribution de ceux qui ont violé ses commandements et l'exclusion de sa présence et de son futur royaume. 2 Thessaloniciens 1 : 9 ; Apocalypse 21:27, 8 5. Limiter les effets du péché individuel et collectif afin que l'homme puisse se repentir et être sauvé de la destruction éternelle. Quand Ses jugements sont embrassés, ils opèrent le salut Psaume 94:12-13; 2 Pierre 3 : 9 La vie « éternelle » et le châtiment « éternel » devraient être assimilés à la même durée, ou bien de la même nature, étant parlé de la même manière - c'est-à-dire ce qui dure. Le jugement éternel attend chaque âme humaine. Yeshoua notre Messie reviendra, les morts ressusciteront, ils seront jugés par Lui et recevront leur destinée éternelle. Ce sera un jugement visible, public et universel. La victoire de l'Agneau sur le péché, la mort et Satan sera pleinement manifestée et exécutée. IDENTITÉ DU JUGE Le Père est l'instigateur du jugement pour mener à bien Son plan pour les âges en mettant fin au péché et à l'anarchie et en introduisant la justice éternelle. Voir aussi Daniel 12 : 2, 3 Dieu le Père est cité comme le juge de tous - Hébreux 12 :23 ; 1 Pierre 4 : 5 Le Fils a reçu l'autorité de juger parce qu'il est le Fils de l'homme. Jean 5:27 "Il a fixé un jour où il jugera le monde avec justice par un homme qu'il a destiné et nommé pour cette tâche" Romains 3: 6 Version amplifiée - Voir aussi Actes 10:42 "Car le Père ne juge personne, mais il a remis tout jugement au Fils", Jean 5:22 LE JUGEMENT FINAL "Celui qui me rejette et ne reçoit pas mes paroles en a un qui le juge : la PAROLE QUE J'AI PRONONCÉE, celle-là le jugera au dernier jour." Jean 12:48 Si les hommes refusent d'accepter le jugement de Dieu sur le péché au Calvaire dans le Messie et refusent de se juger eux-mêmes par cette Parole qui est la seule norme infaillible, alors il ne reste que la pénalité pour leur péché, qui est le jugement de destruction. La mort éternelle est la conséquence du péché sur l'homme non régénéré. Si Yehovah n'a pas épargné sa colère contre son propre Fils qu'il a fait être péché pour nous (afin de nous épargner), quel sera l'état des obstinés, des anarchiques et des rebelles ? 1 Pierre 4:17-18 ; Jean 3:36 Pour chaque personne qui quitte cette vie, il y aura une attente de résurrection ainsi qu'une attente de jugement. "Il est réservé aux hommes de mourir une seule fois, après quoi vient le jugement" Hébreux 9:27 "Nous nous tiendrons tous devant le siège du jugement (trône) du Messie. Car il est écrit : Aussi vivant que je vis, dit Jéhovah, tout genou fléchira devant moi, et toute langue confessera à Dieu. Ainsi, chacun de nous donnera rendre compte de lui-même à Dieu" Romains 14:10-12 ; Esaïe 45:23 "Et je vis un grand trône blanc, et celui qui était assis dessus, de la face duquel la terre et le ciel s'enfuirent, et il ne fut trouvé aucune place pour eux. "Et je vis les morts, petits et grands, se tenir devant Dieu ; et les livres furent ouverts, et un autre livre fut ouvert, qui est le livre de vie; et les morts furent jugés selon leurs oeuvres, d'après les choses qui étaient écrites dans les livres" Apocalypse 20:11,12 Les "livres" sont ouverts. Ce sont les archives de tout ce que chaque personne a pensé, dit et fait sur la terre qui n'a pas été retiré et lavé par le Sang de l'Agneau. Le "Livre de Vie" est également ouvert, nous permettant de comprendre qu'une recherche sera faite à travers lui pour un enregistrement des noms de ceux qui se tiennent devant le trône à cette occasion. LES LIVRES OUVERTS Une cour de justice terrestre procède sur des preuves. Les Écritures nous disent que la cour céleste sera établie pour que la procédure se poursuive, et toutes les preuves seront présentées. La cour céleste sera assise et les livres ouverts. Daniel 7:10 1. LES ECRITURES "La parole que j'ai prononcée le jugera au dernier jour" Jean 12:48 Il est la Parole éternelle Qui a parlé à Moïse et nous a donné la Loi. Nous serons tenus responsables d'avoir obéi à Sa Parole révélée. Hébreux 2 : 1-4 2 LE LIVRE DE VIE Les inscriptions dans le Livre de Vie seront un déterminant majeur des destinées éternelles. Luc 10:20; Phil. 4:3 ; Daniel 12:1 Mais Yehovah dit à Moïse que quiconque avait péché contre Lui dans l'idolâtrie verrait son nom effacé. Voir Exode 32:33 & Deutéronome 9:14. Aussi les impies - Psaume 69:28 (Noël, Pâques) A également souligné à nouveau que quiconque se détournerait et suivrait les dieux du monde, son nom serait effacé du Livre de Vie. Deutéronome 29:14, 18-20 Ceux de Sardes qui ont vaincu les convoitises de la chair ont la garantie que leurs noms ne seront pas effacés. Apocalypse 3:5 LE LIVRE DE SOUVENIR "Alors ceux qui craignaient Yehovah parlaient souvent entre eux et Yehovah les écoutait et les entendait; Ainsi un Livre de Souvenir fut écrit devant Lui pour ceux qui craignent Yehovah et qui méditent sur Son nom." et la promesse - "Et ils seront Les miens, dit Yehovah de l'armée Le jour où j'en ferai mes bijoux." (Malachie 3:16) Remarque Apocalypse 21:19, 20 - les pierres précieuses de la Nouvelle Jérusalem LIVRE DE PRIÈRE/INTERCESSION Les prières des justes sont enregistrées par le ministère des anges. "Mets mes larmes dans ta bouteille; ne sont-elles pas dans ton livre? Quand je crie vers toi, alors mes ennemis reviendront." Psaume 56: 8, 9 "Mon visage est rouge de pleurs ..... ..... et ma prière est pure. Assurément, même maintenant mon témoin [enregistrer KJ] est dans le ciel, et mon témoignage est en haut" Job 16: 16-19 'LIVRE' D'INTENDANCE La comptabilité est faite de la fidélité de chacun dans l'intendance des choses qui lui sont confiées. Yeshua a donné une parabole d'un noble partant et confiant à ses serviteurs de continuer ses affaires, avec l'instruction "d'occuper jusqu'à ce que je vienne" (Luc 19:12-27) Il a donné une autre parabole où un intendant a été appelé à "rendre compte de votre intendance" Luc 16:2-13 RECORDS DE PAROLES ET CONSEILS DU CŒUR Le cœur de l'homme sera jugé par les choses qu'il a dites, "car c'est de l'abondance du cœur que la bouche parle" (Matthieu 12:34, 36-37). Un compte sera demandé pour chaque parole inutile et sans valeur. « Car il n'y a rien de couvert qui ne doive être révélé, ni de caché qui ne doive être connu » Luc 12 : 2 Il mettra en lumière tous les conseils cachés et secrets du cœur et toutes les œuvres secrètes. 1 Corinthiens 4:5 ; Romains 2:16 ; Luc 8:17; Matthieu 6 : 4-6, 17-18 ENREGISTREMENTS DE TOUTES LES ACTIONS Tout jusqu'à une tasse d'eau que nous donnons à l'un des Siens (Matthieu 10 : 41-42) et les actes aimables faits à un enfant en Son Nom (Matthieu 18 : 5) sont enregistrés. Considérez, même les cheveux de notre tête sont comptés et pas un moineau ne tombe à terre, mais Il sait. Psaume 139:16 Notre Père a un excellent système de comptabilité. LE JUGEMENT SELON LES ŒUVRES « Le Père, qui juge sans partialité selon l'œuvre de chacun, conduisez-vous pendant tout le temps de votre séjour ici dans la crainte ; " 1 Pierre 1:17; 4: 1-5, 17-18 "Craignez Dieu et gardez ses commandements, car c'est tout le devoir de l'homme. Car Dieu amènera toute œuvre en jugement, y compris toute chose secrète, qu'elle soit bonne ou mauvaise." Ecclésiaste 12:14 "Car nous devons tous comparaître devant le siège de jugement (trône) du Messie, afin que chacun reçoive les choses faites dans le corps, selon ce qu'il a fait, que ce soit bon ou mauvais." 2 Corinthiens 5:10 "la vie éternelle à ceux qui, par une persévérance patiente à faire le bien, recherchent la gloire, l'honneur et l'immortalité; mais à ceux qui sont égoïstes et n'obéissent pas à la vérité, mais obéissent à l'injustice - indignation et colère, tribulation et angoisse, sur toute âme de homme qui fait le mal, le Juif d'abord et aussi le Grec. Car il n'y a pas de partialité avec Dieu. Romains 2:7-9, 11 (Remarque. Juif et Grec (nations) couvrent tous les croyants - voir les versets 1-6 du même chapitre) POUR CETTE RAISON - les apôtres du Messie ont dit: "Nous le prêchons, avertissant tout homme et enseignant tout homme en toute sagesse, afin que nous puissions présenter tout homme parfait en Yeshua le Messie" Colossiens 1:28 "pour vous présenter saint et irréprochable et au-dessus de tout reproche à ses yeux" Colossiens 1:22" Afin que vous soyez sincères et intègres jusqu'au jour du Messie, étant rassasiés des fruits de la justice " Philippiens 1:10-11 "Qui vous confirmera jusqu'à la fin, afin que vous soyez irréprochables au jour de notre Seigneur, Yeshoua le Messie." 1 Corinthiens 1 : 8 Yeshoua a dit: "Et ce serviteur qui connaissait la volonté de son maître et ne s'est pas préparé ou n'a pas fait selon sa volonté, sera battu de plusieurs coups. Mais celui qui ne savait pas, mais a commis des choses méritant des coups, sera battu de peu de coups. . Car quiconque à qui on a beaucoup donné, on lui demandera beaucoup, et à qui on a beaucoup confié, on demandera davantage. Luc 12:47-48 La mesure de la responsabilité sera selon la mesure de la connaissance de la volonté de notre Père, comme aussi la mesure de la punition disciplinaire. Indiquant que Yeshua parle ici de punition corrective pour ceux qui reçoivent « quelques coups ». Cependant, Yeshua dit que pour ceux qui entrent dans une vie injuste, il "sera coupé en deux et lui assignera sa part avec les incroyants" Luc 12: 45-4 Dans Matthieu 24:51, Yeshua est cité comme l'appliquant aux hypocrites, et qu'être coupé en deux est une punition appropriée pour celui qui a vécu une double vie. "Il y aura des pleurs, des gémissements et des grincements de dents" - un grand remords est la réaction résultante de celui qui est puni de cette manière Ce qui est évident, c'est que tous ceux qui ne vivent pas la vie, perdent leur héritage dans le royaume de Dieu avec les hypocrites et encourent le même jugement que les mécréants. Avec cela, le reste de l'Écriture est d'accord. «Mais la fornication et toute impureté de la cupidité, qu'elle ne soit même pas nommée parmi vous, comme il convient aux saints; ni souillure, ni propos insensés, ni plaisanteries grossières, qui ne conviennent pas, mais plutôt des actions de grâces. Pour cela, vous le savez, qu'aucun impudique, ni impur, ni cupide, idolâtre, n'ait d'héritage dans le royaume du Messie et de Dieu. Que personne ne vous séduise par de vaines paroles, car à cause de cela la colère de Dieu s'abat sur les de désobéissance. Ne participez donc pas avec eux. Éphésiens 5 : 3- 7 "Maintenant, les œuvres de la chair sont évidentes, qui sont l'adultère, la fornication (relation sexuelle hors mariage), l'impureté (impureté morale), la lubricité (luxure, dévergondage, lascivité), l'idolâtrie (adoration des choses ou des personnes (Noël et Pâques) - identités & idéologies), sorcellerie (tout engagement dans des pratiques occultes, psychiques ou de sorcellerie), haine, querelles, jalousies, accès de colère, ambitions égoïstes, dissensions (divisions), hérésies (doctrine contraire aux principes fondateurs), envie (convoitise) , meurtres, ivresses, réjouissances et autres; dont je vous dis d'avance, comme je vous l'ai dit dans le passé, que ceux qui pratiquent de telles choses n'hériteront pas le royaume de Dieu." Galates 5:19-21 "Ne savez-vous pas que les injustes n'hériteront pas le royaume de Dieu? Ne vous y trompez pas. (Lit. 'égaré') Ni les fornicateurs, ni les idolâtres, ni les adultères, ni les homosexuels (agresseurs sexuels), ni les sodomites, ni les voleurs , ni cupides, ni ivrognes, ni insulteurs, ni extorqueurs n'hériteront le royaume de Dieu. » 1 Corinthiens 6 : 9-10 "Car il est impossible pour ceux qui ont été une fois éclairés, et ont goûté le don céleste (le salut), et sont devenus participants du Roach HaKodesh (Saint-Esprit) et ont goûté la bonne Parole de Yehovah et les puissances du monde à venir , s'ils décèdent, pour les renouveler à la repentance, car ils crucifient de nouveau pour eux-mêmes le Fils de Yehovah (Messie), et l'exposent à une honte ouverte." Hébreux 6 : 4-6 Les avertissements sont là pour nous mettre en garde et nous empêcher d'être vaincus par les tromperies de l'ennemi. "Mais bien-aimés, nous sommes sûrs de meilleures choses vous concernant, oui des choses qui concernent le salut, bien que nous parlions de cette manière." Hébreux 6 : 9 Le jugement sur tout péché est certain : « Mais nous, qui sommes du jour, soyons sobres, revêtons la cuirasse de la foi et de l'amour, et comme casque l'espérance du salut. Car Dieu ne nous a pas destinés à la colère, mais à l'obtention du salut. par notre Seigneur Yeshoua le Messie." 1 Thessaloniciens 5 : 8, 9 "C'est pourquoi nous ont été données des promesses extrêmement grandes et précieuses, afin que par elles vous puissiez participer à la nature divine, ayant échappé à la corruption qui est dans le monde par la convoitise." 2 Pierre 1 : 4 "Diligentez-vous à être trouvés en lui dans la paix, sans tache et sans reproche." 2 Pierre 3:14

You claim to honor Christ by celebrating His birthday. The Heathens celebrate the Sun god's birth on December 25th, you Christians celebrate the Son of God birth on December 25th. Celebrating pagan ways , you love, God hates Jermiah 10:2 The Biblical Truth about Christ’s Birth The Satanic Ritual of Sacrificing Children (If you mix unholy with Holy it is blas·phe·my ) Every year, the priests of Ishtar would impregnate young virgins on an altar dedicated to herself and her husband*. The children were born on Christmas December 25, and the next year they were sacrificed on Easter Sunday at the sunrise service. The priests would take Ishtar's eggs and dye them in the blood of the sacrificed children. You must not worship the LORD your God the way the other nations worship their gods, for they perform for their gods every detestable act that the LORD hates. THIS Is What Jesus and the Bible Say about Christmas... Is Christmas a Christian or Pagan Holiday? Quand est né le Messie ? Kurt Cammeron sauve Noël Débarrassez-vous de Pâques! (Les origines païennes de Pâques et de Noël exposées) Partie 1 sur 8 Vérité ou traditions Celebrating Jesus' Birthday Vidéos de Noël Vidéo Célébrer Yule Vidéo de Noël Pat Robertson admet que Noël est un carnel The Biblical Truth about Christ’s Birth Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. Pagan Christmas How This Pagan Custom Got into the Church The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge explains clearly, in its article on "Christmas": "How much the date of the festival depended upon the pagan Brumalia (Dec. 25) following the Saturnalia (Dec. 17-24), and celebrating the shortest day in the year and the 'new sun,’. December 25th is not the birthday of Yeshua the true Christ! The apostles and early true Church never celebrated Christ's birthday at any time. There is no command or instruction to celebrate it in the Bible—rather, the celebration of birthdays is a pagan, not a Christian custom , believe it or not, the pagan festival with its riot and merrymaking was so popular that Christians were glad of an excuse to continue its celebration with little change in spirit and in manner. Christian preachers of the West and the Near East protested the unseemly frivolity with which Christ's birthday was celebrated, while Christians of Mesopotamia accused their Western brethren of idolatry and sun worship for adopting as Christian this pagan festival but remember, these people had grown up in pagan customs, chief of which was this idolatrous festival of December 25th. It was a festival of merrymaking, with its special spirit. They enjoyed it! They didn't want to give it up! Now this same article in the New Schaff- Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge Explains how the recognition by Constantine of Sunday, which had been the day of pagan sun worship, and how the influence of the pagan Manichaeism, which identified the SON of God with the physical SUN, gave these pagans of the fourth century, now turning over wholesale to "Christianity," their excuse for calling their pagan festival date of December 25th (birthday of the SUN-god) the birthday of the SON of God. And that is how "Christmas" became fastened on our Western world! We may call it by another name, but it's the same old pagan sun-worshipping festival still! ."The Real Origin of Christmas but if we got Christmas from the Roman Catholics, and they got it from paganism, where did the pagans get it? Where, when, and what was its real origin? It is a chief custom of the corrupt system denounced all through Bible prophecies and teachings under the name of Babylon. And it started and originated in the original Babylon of ancient Nimrod! She claimed a full-grown evergreen tree sprang overnight from a dead tree stump, which symbolized the springing forth unto new life of the dead Nimrod. On each anniversary of his birth, she claimed, Nimrod would visit the evergreen tree and leave gifts upon it. December 25th was the birthday of Nimrod. This is the real origin of the Christmas tree. We are shocked to learn the truth—some, unfortunately, take offense at the plain truth! But God commands His faithful ministers, "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression! 22 Then the Yehovah said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites this: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven: 23 Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold. Exodus 20:22 Psalm 81:12 So I let them follow their stubborn desires, living according to their own ideas. Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for 1. The date of December 25 is not found in your Bible. The shepherds and sheep would not be in the fields in the winter. There is There is no verse that mentions the number of wise men. There is no mention that any of them were Kings. The wise men found the king of the Jews when he was around 2 years old. The Bible does mention not to bring an evergreen tree into your home and decorate it Mary and Joseph were not required to travel in the winter Yehovah says a lying tongue is the second on His list that He hates most. Everything about Christmas is pagan, Pat Robertson admits to the fully pagan origins of Christmas and defends celebrating the Christianized pagan holiday ● Jeremiah 10:2 Thus says the LORD, "Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens though the nations are terrified by them; 3 For the customs of the peoples are delusion; Because it is wood cut from the forest, The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. 4"They decorate it with silver and with gold; They fasten it with nails and with hammers So that it will not totter.… I have come to believe that nothing can be said to change one’s mind about Christmas. The music, gifts, food, and festive events outweigh the true meaning of Yeshua’s birth, this event trumps Yehovah. If you really want to celebrate His birth, then don't do it on the pagan sun god’s birthday on December 25th. This is what we find in the Bible. Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that seemeth right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death!" John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Deuteronomy 12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto Jehovah thy God: for every abomination to Jehovah, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods. ● Matthew 15:9 "In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" John 4:23 The true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. He will not accept that kind of worship, even though it is intended in His honor. To Him, He says, it is offering what is abominable to Him, and therefore it honors, not Him, but false pagan gods. GOD says we must not worship Him according to the "dictates of our conscience"—a term we often hear. Does It Honor Christ? Suppose someone you love has a birthday. You want to honor that person on his or her birthday. Would you lavishly buy gifts for everyone else, trading gifts back and forth with all your other friends and loved ones, but ignore completely any gift for the one whose birthday you are honoring? Now come two arguments often used to justify Christmas observance. Many will reason this way: "But, even though the exact date of Yeshua's birth is unknown, should we not select some date to celebrate as His birthday?" The answer is positively no! Did you not notice the statement quoted from the Catholic Encyclopedia? "Sinners alone, not saints, celebrate their birthdays." The celebration of birthdays is not a Christian, but a pagan custom, observed by sinners! But many still say, "Even so—even though Christmas was a pagan custom, honoring the false sun-god, we don't observe it to honor the false god, we observe it to honor Christ." But how does GOD answer in His Word? "Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them [the pagans in their customs] . . . that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, how did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise? Thou shalt not do so unto the Yehovah thy God: for every abomination to the Eternal, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods" But Yeshua says plainly, "Yehovah is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). And what is truth? Yehovah’s Word—the Holy Bible—says Yeshua, is truth (John 17:17); and the Bible says Yehovah will not accept worship when people take a pagan custom or manner of worship and try to honor Christ with it. Again, Yeshua said: "In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (Matthew 15:9). Christmas observance is a tradition of men, and the commandments of Yehovah, as quoted, forbid it. Yeshua said, further, "Full well ye reject the commandment of Yehovah, that ye may keep your tradition." That is precisely what the millions are doing today. They ignore the commandment of Yehovah He commands, regarding taking the customs of the pagans and using them to honor or worship Yehovah: "Thou shalt not do so unto the Yehovah thy God." Still, most people today take that command of Yehovah lightly, or as having no validity whatsoever, and follow the tradition of men in observing Christmas. Make no mistake! Yehovah will allow you to defy and disobey Him. He will allow you to follow the crowd and the traditions of men. He will allow you to sin. But He also says there is a day of reckoning coming. As you sow, so shall you reap! Yeshua was the living Word of Yehovah in person, and the Bible is the written Word of Yehovah. And we shall be judged, for eternity, by these words! They should not be taken lightly or ignored. What Encyclopedias Say The word "Christmas" means "Mass of Christ," or, as it came to be shortened, "Christ-Mass." It came from the Roman /Catholic Church. Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church In the Scriptures, no one is recorded to have kept a feast or held a great banquet on His birthday. These recognized historical authorities show Christmas was not observed by Christians for the first two or three hundred years—a period longer than the entire history of the United States as a nation! In the fifth century, the Western Church ordered it to be celebrated forever on the day of the old Roman feast of the birth of Sol, as no certain knowledge of the day of Christ's birth existed." Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun") was the official sun god of the later Roman Empire and a patron of soldiers. In 274 AD the Roman emperor Aurelian made it an official cult alongside the traditional Roman cults. God forbids pagan feast days idolater, a person that admires intensely and often blindly one that is not usually a subject of worship. Idolatry is the worship of an idol or cult image, being a physical image, such as a statue, Every year, the priest of Ishtar would impregnate young virgins on an altar. The children were born on Christmas and the next year they were sacrificed at the Easter Sunday sunrise service. The priest would take Ishtar’s eggs and dye them in the blood of the sacrificed children. This was observed around 2000 years before Christ was born. 'You shall not give any of your offspring to offer them to Moloch, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am Yehovah. Leviticus 18:21 21. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Yehovah your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected by children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me. Exodus 20: 5 Do Not Be Unequally Yoked …16 What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.” 17“Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 2 Cor 6:1717 The Sovereignty of God 1 Hear the word that the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2 This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by the signs in the heavens, although the nations are terrified by them. 3 For the customs of the people are worthless; they cut down a tree from the forest; it is shaped with a chisel by the hands of a craftsman…4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they faste n it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

The first to plead his case seems just until another comes and examines him.Teachings that are not found in your bible and are taught as truth. One compromise here, another there and soon the so-called Christian and man in the world look a like. We know everything in life we know if something is a creator there must be a creator Proof in 60 seconds that there is a God When you see a painting you know there was a painter When you see a building you know there is a builder When you see creation and how complex and functional and beautiful there was and is a creator. Proof the Torah is true and divine. If the Torah makes one mistake it is not written by God The Creator The world has around 72% water 8 miles deep there are millions of fish in all the waters no one has ever found a fish with scales that don't have fins.is it possible someone who could have written this over 3,000 years ago who could have written such a thing except the creator? The Torah says which animals are good to eat and which ones are not to eat There are 2,000,000 different kinds of animals in the world God gives us two wittness split huffs and chew its cud. Two signs to make sure the animal is cosher God says be careful there are four exceptional animals The pig, Cammel, hair, and Rabbat. Torah commands Jews to circumcise their babies on the 8-day Vitamin K is 110% only on the 8-day who knew it but the creator? The new moon is never less than 29 days and 1,2 us 29.530.88 Geromand 29 530.89 Le premier à plaider sa cause semble juste jusqu'à ce qu'un autre vienne l'examiner. Proverbes 18:17 Des enseignements qui ne se trouvent pas dans votre bible et qui sont enseignés comme étant la vérité. Un compromis ici, un autre là et bientôt le soi-disant chrétien et l'homme dans le monde se ressemblent aw Tozer Quand les chrétiens meurent, ils vont au ciel. Ils sont dans un meilleur endroit. L'ancien testament est pour les juifs et le nouveau testament pour tous les autres. Personne ne peut garder les commandements. Vous pouvez vivre comme le diable et aller au paradis. Le saint jour de repos des Sabbats de Dieu est aboli. Le sabbat a été changé en dimanche parce que les apôtres se réunissaient le premier jour de la semaine. Les lois alimentaires du Lévitique, selon lesquelles Dieu a dit de ne pas manger ni toucher de viande impure, ne concernent que les Juifs. Il y a un enlèvement secret pour les chrétiens seulement, les excluant de la tribulation. La loi de Dieu a été clouée sur la croix. Les chrétiens charnels ne sont pas sous la loi, mais ils sont sous la grâce. Yeshua l'a fait pour que nous n'ayons pas à le faire. Une fois enregistré toujours enregistré. Demandez simplement Yeshua dans votre cœur pour le salut. La seule exigence pour croire est de reconnaître l'existence de Dieu. Le baptême est juste une signification symbolique et n'est pas requis pour le salut. L'Evangile est la mort, l'ensevelissement et la résurrection. Suivre les instructions de Dieu est légaliste. Vous êtes juif si vous observez les lois alimentaires, le sabbat, les jours de fête de Dieu et tous les commandements de Dieu comme l'a fait Yeshua. Peu importe ce que vous ressentez dans votre cœur, même s'il est païen. La naissance de Yeshoua a eu lieu le 25 décembre, et qu'il y avait des bergers et des moutons dans les champs et que Marie et Joseph devaient voyager en hiver. L'église peut christianiser les fêtes païennes, comme Noël, Pâques et Halloween. Les lettres mal comprises de Paul annulent la parole de Dieu et Ses instructions. Un temps viendra où les gens n'écouteront plus les enseignements précis. Au lieu de cela, ils suivront leurs propres désirs et s'entoureront d'enseignants qui leur diront ce qu'ils veulent entendre. 2 Timothée 4:3 Il y a des conséquences, des conséquences éternelles, à nos actions. Ce que nous faisons est la preuve de ce que nous croyons. Ne vous y trompez pas, vous ne pouvez pas vous moquer de la justice de Dieu. Vous récolterez toujours ce que vous plantez. 8 Ceux qui ne vivent que pour satisfaire leur propre nature pécheresse récolteront la décadence et la mort de cette nature pécheresse.

- 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.
- Mark of the Beast | Answers 4 Saints
The Mark of the Beast The one who practices, sin is lawlessness, separating themselves from God, and offending God by action or neglect or by tolerating wrongdoing—being unrestrained by His commands and His will 1John 3:4. acts of disobedience, indifference, or rebellion they show they belong to the devil and take his inner character and moral values from him, not God] 1 John 3:8 (666) Gods excape plan for His children Trubulation 1. The Warning for Those Who Take the Mark Revelation 14:9–11 (ESV) "And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, 'If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.'" 2. The Punishment of the Devil Revelation 20:10 (ESV) "And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever." 3. The Final Judgment of Both Revelation 20:15 (ESV) "And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." Summary The Scripture makes a direct link between the fate of the devil, the beast, and those who take the mark: all are cast into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the torment is described as eternal ("day and night forever and ever"). In Jesus' words elsewhere in Scripture, this destination is explicitly described as being prepared for the devil and his angels: Matthew 25:41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'" Christianity, the most lawless religion on earth You can be sure the False Prophet and the Man of Lawlessness will certainly come from the only religion that has promoted and pushed Lawlessness (not obeying God’s Laws) since the beginning. Keeping in mind that Christianity, the most lawless religion on earth since it actually forbids observing God’s Law, is over 30% of the world, so we got our first indication of what kind of percentage we might be looking at taking the mark. If you do the things God hates and refuse to keep His commandments and encourage others to do the same, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” NOT THE MARK OF GOD “YEHOVAH” The Mark of the Beast 16 And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark— the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666. The Messages of the Three Angels 6 Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. 7 And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.” 8 Another angel, a second, followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of the passions of her sexual immorality.” 9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.” Matthew 10:21-22 21 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. 22 You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. T his self-reflection test is designed to cut through the confusion and fear often surrounding this topic. In Scripture, the "marks" are not about hidden microchips or literal ink tattoos; they represent ownership, allegiance, and what rules your mind (the forehead) and your actions (the hand). Answer Yes or No honestly to each question to examine whose mark you bear in your daily life. The Allegiance & Identity Test The Ultimate Authority: When a choice comes down to following God’s explicit commandments versus following the crowd, the culture, or human convenience, do I choose God's way? The Mind (The Forehead): Is my mind primarily occupied with Scripture, truth, and how to honor God, rather than being consumed by the fears, anger, and philosophies of the world? The Actions (The Hand): Do the physical works of my hands—my labor, how I spend my money, and how I treat my family and neighbors—reflect God’s righteousness and justice? The Source of Security: In times of economic trouble or societal pressure, do I rely entirely on God to provide for and protect my household, rather than putting my ultimate trust in human systems? Open Allegiance: Am I willing to stand firmly for my faith and God's truth even if it means facing disapproval, loss, or being cut off by others? Worship in Truth: Is my worship rooted in an internal reality and a desire to keep His laws, rather than just an empty ritual or a standard routine to look good to others? Understanding the Biblical Meaning In the Bible, the concept of a "mark" is deeply symbolic of identity and ownership. It shows who has your allegiance. The Mark of God (The Seal) : In the Book of Revelation and Ezekiel, God places a seal or mark on the foreheads of those who belong to Him. This mirrors Deuteronomy 6:8, where God tells His people to bind His commandments as a sign on their hands and as frontlets between their eyes (their foreheads). It means your thoughts and your actions are dedicated to keeping His laws. The Mark of the Beast: This is the direct counterfeit. It represents a mind (forehead) and a lifestyle (hand) that has completely surrendered to the world's corrupt system, willful disobedience, and rebellion against God's commandments for the sake of survival, comfort, or fit-in convenience. "Bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." — Deuteronomy 6:8-9 "Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads." — Revelation 14:1 Reflecting on Your Answers If your life aims toward "Yes": Take heart. If you are actively striving to keep God’s commandments, relying on His Spirit, and trusting Him for your security, you bear the identity of a child of God. Perfect performance isn't the metric—the direction of your allegiance is. If you see areas of "No": It is a clear reminder of where the world or the flesh is trying to press you into its mold. If fear of the future or the pressure of the culture is driving your choices rather than God’s word, it is an invitation to draw a line in the sand. Repent, refuse to bow to worldly compromise, and commit your mind and hands fresh to the Lord today. 14 Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image to the beast that had been wounded by the sword and yet had lived. 15 The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship it to be killed. 16And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,… The Mark of the Beast seal is not a physical mark.The forehead represents the mind of those who make a consonance decision to disobeys God Commandments, and The mark on the hand represents worship on Sunday. forsaking Gods Sabbaath Saturday Something to think about Nebuchadnezzar's Dream Worship the beas t Daniel 3:9 They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “Long live the king! 10 You issued a decree requiring all the people to bow down and worship the gold statue when they hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and other musical instruments.the statue was made for a specific purpose. With it, the king would demand total obedience and humiliation from his governmental underlings. And Daniel warns the dream means that God's Kingdom is coming to crush all other kingdoms (Daniel 2:44). But Nebuchadnezzar ignores the warning and builds a 90-foot tall statue (or image) of himself. He demands that all his politicians bow down and worship his image (Daniel 3:1, 5). 4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him, there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. What Is the 'Mark of the Beast' and Who Has It? These 10 Biblical Clues Expose the Truth Dennis Lee The author has 794 answers and 1.4M answer views And the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him - Revelation 12:9 Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image to the beast that the sword had wounded and yet had lived. - Revelation 13:14 You can be sure if the whole world is deceived this will include Christians, Muslims, Jews, and Atheists alike. But what percentage takes the mark? It’s not hard to determine who will wield the mark if you eliminate doctrine and preconceived notions. The beast is that which “…will speak out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High, intending to change the appointed times and laws; and the saints will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time.” This change of appointed times and Laws happened in 364CE when the Law was changed and the 4Th Commandment was replaced, moving the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday in the Council of Laodicea. The “saints” were also mandated to be oppressed by canon law in the very same council and have been at the mercy of the Beast ever since, until 1948 . The Beast, none other than the Roman Empire that “destroyed the holy city and the sanctuary”, then suffers a mortal head wound, Caesar, but does not die. Instead, it is reborn the Holy Roman Empire with a Pope at its head. Certainly not all of them, but if my guess is close, it will be many. Christianity is the only religion that accepts a “man” to be “God”, Judaism and Islam will never accept a human claiming to be God. This is the very “Man of Lawlessness” that will sit in the holy place and declare himself God—something the Romans have always enjoyed doing to their rulers.

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.

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

Paul déclare un peu plus tôt dans Romains que le salaire du péché, c'est la mort (Romains 6 :23). _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Yahweh _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Registre des actes Les fruits de la repentance sont des actions visibles - souvent appelées "œuvres" - qui montrent qu'une personne a effectivement changé. Romains 7:7 Alors, suis-je en train de suggérer que la loi de Dieu est un péché ? Bien sûr que non! En fait, c'est la loi qui m'a montré mon péché. Je n'aurais jamais su que la convoitise est mal si la loi n'avait pas dit : « Tu ne dois pas convoiter. 1 Jean 3:4 Quiconque pratique le péché pratique aussi l'iniquité; le péché est l'anarchie. Chaque action est consignée dans un livre, selon Apocalypse 20 :12. Ces témoins sont la raison pour laquelle toute bouche sera fermée, ou arrêtée, devant notre Créateur ; notre péché est établi. Comme vous le savez peut-être, selon la Torah, il faut 2 à 3 témoins pour établir une affaire et condamner quelqu'un à mort. Mais saviez-vous que cela inclut notre propre culpabilité envers le Père ? Deutéronome 19:15 (ESV) Un seul témoin ne suffira pas contre une personne pour tout crime ou pour tout tort en relation avec une infraction qu'il a commise. L'accusation n'est établie que sur la déposition de deux témoins ou de trois témoins. Nous savons que deux témoins sont nécessaires pour établir notre culpabilité. Continuer. Romains 3:19-20 Or, nous savons que tout ce que dit la loi, cela s'adresse à ceux qui sont sous la loi, afin que toute bouche soit fermée, et que le monde entier soit tenu responsable devant Dieu. Car par les oeuvres de la loi aucun être humain ne sera justifié à ses yeux, puisque c'est par la loi que vient la connaissance du péché. La première question à laquelle il faut répondre est : qui sont ceux qui sont « sous la loi » ? Pour gagner du temps, nous déclarerons simplement que toute l'humanité est «sous la loi» jusqu'à ce qu'elle entre dans une alliance par la foi au Messie et reçoive le salut par grâce par cette foi. Cela inclut également les Écritures où Yehovah nous a dit qu'il nous enverrait un Messie par lequel le salut serait rendu possible. Nous nous engageons à cette vérité, puis vivons nos vies comme si elle était vraie en montrant, ou la preuve de, ce que nous croyons être la vérité. Faire ainsi est l'exercice de notre foi en la Parole ; par cette foi et par la grâce de Yehovah, nous pouvons recevoir le salut. Une fois que nous avons cette foi, après avoir réalisé que nous méritons la mort et que nous avons besoin de l'œuvre rédemptrice du Messie et que nous transformons notre foi en action (notre obéissance), nous ne sommes plus sous la malédiction (loi du péché et de la mort). Avant que nous ayons foi en le Messie, nous étions sous la loi du péché et de la mort (la malédiction), mais après la foi, nous ne sommes plus sous la loi du péché et de la mort. Revelation 20:11-15 Alors je vis un grand trône blanc et celui qui était assis dessus. De sa présence la terre et le ciel se sont enfuis, et aucune place ne leur a été trouvée. Et je vis les morts, petits et grands, debout devant le trône, et des livres étaient ouverts. Puis un autre livre a été ouvert, qui est le livre de vie. Et les morts étaient jugés d'après ce qui était écrit dans les livres, selon ce qu'ils avaient fait. Et la mer rendit les morts qui étaient en elle, la Mort et l'Hadès rendirent les morts qui étaient en eux, et ils furent jugés, chacun d'eux, selon ce qu'ils avaient fait. Puis la Mort et l'Hadès furent jetés dans l'étang de feu. C'est la seconde mort, l'étang de feu et si le nom de quelqu'un n'était pas trouvé écrit dans le livre de vie, il était jeté dans l'étang de feu. (119 ministères) As-tu vu ça? Tous nos actes sont enregistrés dans des livres; ces livres sont le deuxième témoin. Cependant, une fois que nous avons foi dans le Messie, nous constatons que nous ne sommes plus sous la peine de la loi parce qu'Il a payé cette peine. Pourtant, comment cela peut-il être? Il y a encore deux témoins, alors ne devrions-nous pas encore mériter la mort éternelle ? Nous trouvons la réponse à cette question lorsque nous regardons Colossiens 2:13-14. Colossiens 2:13-14 Et toi, qui étais mort à cause de tes offenses et de l'incirconcision de ta chair, Dieu t'a fait revivre avec lui, nous ayant pardonné toutes nos offenses, en annulant le registre de la dette qui était contre nous avec ses exigences légales . Il le mit de côté et le cloua sur la croix. Le verset 13 confirme que nous étions morts dans nos péchés, mais à travers le Messie, nos péchés sont pardonnés. Alors… que se passe-t-il lorsque nos péchés sont pardonnés ? Le « record de dette qui nous était opposé » a été annulé. Cela a été payé par le Messie et cloué à l'arbre. Où était le dossier de cette dette écrite? Il a été écrit dans le livre où tous nos actes ont été enregistrés, le deuxième témoin qui établit notre culpabilité. Une fois que ce dossier de dette est payé, il est retiré de notre dossier ; et nous sommes maintenant impeccables. Il n'y a plus qu'un seul témoin ! Nous ne pouvons pas être mis à mort avec un seul témoin ! Nous avons maintenant la vie éternelle ! Le Messie a payé la pénalité et a ainsi détruit le compte de nos transgressions afin qu'elles ne puissent plus être retenues contre nous ! La raison pour laquelle avoir foi au Messie fonctionne n'est pas parce que la loi nous a été retirée comme certains le croient Colossiens 2 l'enseigne. Le salut s'opère à l'intérieur des frontières ou des paramètres établis par la Torah car le deuxième témoin nécessaire pour nous condamner à la mort éternelle a été supprimé. Yehovah n'opère pas en dehors de Sa propre loi; s'il l'a fait, alors comment pouvons-nous croire que nous devrions ou sommes même capables d'être appelés justes. Notre Créateur est incroyable, parfait, juste, droit et bon. Il nous donne des instructions détaillant comment Il veut que nous vivions comme un peuple mis à part. Comme un bon père, quand nous enfreignons les règles, il y a une pénalité pour cela ; et c'est grave. Pourtant, parce qu'il aime tellement son peuple, il a même fourni un moyen dans ses propres règles que nous puissions être rachetés de cette punition. Sa loi est vraiment parfaite ; à l'intérieur se trouve toute sa provision pour nous Deutéronome 19:15 "Vous ne devez déclarer personne coupable d'un crime sur la déposition d'un seul témoin. Les faits de la cause doivent être établis par la déposition de deux ou trois témoins. Galates 3:24-26 Ainsi donc, la loi a été notre gardienne jusqu'à la venue de Christ, afin que nous soyons justifiés par la foi. Mais maintenant que la foi est venue, nous ne sommes plus sous un tuteur, car en Jésus-Christ (Messie Yeshua) vous êtes tous fils de Dieu, par la foi. La « loi du péché et de la mort » nous escorte ou nous amène à Christ en soulignant que nous sommes en servitude/sous la malédiction. Ce n'est que lorsque la "loi du péché et de la mort" nous enseigne que nous sommes maudits et en servitude, que nous pouvons venir au Messie avec foi en tant que notre Sauveur. Sans cette connaissance, nous n'aurions aucune raison de venir à Lui. Ainsi, nous avons besoin de la "malédiction de la loi" ou de la "loi du péché et de la mort" pour nous apprendre que nous sommes en servitude (sous le péché - Romains 3:20) afin de nous "escorter" au Messie. C'est pour nous apprendre à avoir foi et confiance en sa grâce parfaite en tant que pratique parfaite de la Parole faite chair qui est devenue la malédiction pour nous sur cet arbre. Galates 3:25 Mais maintenant que la foi est venue, nous ne sommes plus sous un tuteur. Il est maintenant temps de se souvenir de cette définition de la foi. Une partie de la foi consiste à croire que ce que la Parole nous dit est vrai. La Parole, qui inclut la Torah ou la Loi de Dieu, nous montre que nous méritons la mort parce que nous avons péché et que le Père a un moyen pour que nous soyons sauvés de cette mort ? Cette voie passe par la foi au Messie, la Parole. En d'autres termes, la manière pour nous d'être sauvés est de croire que nous avons péché et méritons la mort parce que la Parole le dit. Nous croyons que ce que le Père nous a dit est vrai, que pour être justes, nous devons suivre Sa Parole, et ensuite nous le faisons. Cela inclut également les Écritures où Yehovah nous a dit qu'il nous enverrait un Messie par lequel le salut serait rendu possible. Nous nous engageons à cette vérité, puis vivons nos vies comme si elle était vraie en montrant, ou la preuve de, ce que nous croyons être la vérité. Faire ainsi est l'exercice de notre foi en la Parole ; par cette foi et par la grâce de Yehovah, nous pouvons recevoir le salut. Une fois que nous avons cette foi, après avoir réalisé que nous méritons la mort et que nous avons besoin de l'œuvre rédemptrice du Messie et que nous transformons notre foi en action (notre obéissance), nous ne sommes plus sous la malédiction (loi du péché et de la mort). Avant que nous ayons foi en le Messie, nous étions sous la loi du péché et de la mort (la malédiction), mais après la foi, nous ne sommes plus sous la loi du péché et de la mort. La loi du péché et de la mort est le tuteur, le gardien. Encore une fois, pour une discussion plus détaillée de ce sujet, veuillez consulter nos enseignements « Le tuteur n'est plus nécessaire parce que nous ne sommes plus « sous la loi » (du péché et de la mort). Lorsque nous entrons dans la foi, nous avons la compréhension que le Messie a payé la peine de la loi pour nous. Commencez-vous à voir comment tout cela fonctionne ensemble? La Torah a été donnée pour définir pour nous ce qu'était le péché, il y a une pénalité pour le péché qui est la mort. Nul ne peut être mis à mort s'il n'y a deux témoins. Yehovah lui-même est un témoin. Mais c'est quoi le deuxième ? Revelation 21:1 Et je vis un nouveau ciel et une nouvelle terre; car le premier ciel et la première terre étaient passés; et il n'y avait plus de mer.2 Et moi, Jean, je vis la ville sainte, la nouvelle Jérusalem, descendant du ciel d'auprès de Dieu, préparée comme une épouse parée pour son mari. 3 Et j'entendis du ciel une grande voix disant : Voici, la le tabernacle de Dieu est avec les hommes, et il habitera avec eux, et ils seront son peuple, et Dieu lui-même sera avec eux, et sera leur Dieu. 4 Et Dieu essuiera toute larme de leurs yeux; et il n'y aura plus de mort, ni deuil, ni cri, et il n'y aura plus de douleur, car les premières choses sont passées. Esaïe 65:17 "Voici, je vais créer de nouveaux cieux et une nouvelle terre. Les premières choses ne seront pas rappelés, ni ne viendront à l'esprit Grand titre
