It Will Be Too Late To Choose Life Soon
Whose
names are written in the Book of Life?
Revelation
22:14-15—
14
Blessed are those who keep His Laws,
that they may have right to the Tree of Life, and
may enter in through the gates into the city.
15
For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and
whoremongers, and murderers, and worshipers of gods (elohim) and
everyone who professes to love, yet practices
breaking the Laws.
What
you have just read is the only way to Salvation
shown by the inspired Prophets, Apostles, and Savior. There is no life
without Yahweh, the One Who created life. The only ones Yahweh will
give life are those who overcome sin. The way to overcome sin is to
first repent of sin and then convert to practicing Righteousness, which
is keeping Yahweh's Laws.
Acts
3:18-19—
18
But those things which Yahweh foretold by the mouth of all the
Prophets, that Messiah must suffer, He has fulfilled this.
19 Repent
therefore, and be converted, that your
sins may be blotted out; that times of refreshing may come
from the Presence of Yahweh.
Notice,
your sins are not blotted out until you repent and convert to
practicing Yahweh's Laws.
I
Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8—
4
Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Laws; for sin is the
transgression of the Laws.
7
Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices
Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous.
8 He
who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned
from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested;
that He might destroy the works of the devil.
The Prophet Daniyl was inspired to write about a religion that would change Yahweh's Sabbaths. This Prophecy is written in detail in our books, The Mark of the Beast, Volumes 1 and 2. You need these books. They deal with many Prophecies for this time period including the end of man's governments of and by the people.
Daniyl was shown four world-ruling kingdoms,
only four. So there will
never be a fifth world-ruling kingdom of mankind. The fourth kingdom
that Daniyl saw was the Roman Empire, which had ten different religions
(horns). But then Daniyl saw yet another horn, called the little horn.
The word horn means religion,
taught and
spread. When speaking of Yahchanan, who came first teaching
the Laws of Yahweh and calling on all to repent, that religion was
called the horn of Salvation.
Luke
1:69—
And
has raised up a horn of Salvation for us in the
house of His servant David;
There
is no Salvation in the little horn that came up among the ten horns
shown in Daniyl chapters seven and two. Notice, Daniyl
2:1 is speaking of the dream that King
Nebuchadnezzar had. In
verse 28, Daniyl begins
showing him the meaning of
his dream from Yahweh.
Daniyl
2:1, 28-29—
1 In
the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed
dreams that troubled his mind, and robbed him of sleep.
28
But there is a Father in heaven Who reveals
secrets, and makes known to the king, Nebuchadnezzar, what
will be in the latter days. Your dream,
and the visions in your mind as you lay on your bed, are these:
29 As
for you, O king, as you lay upon your bed, your thoughts came into
your mind about what would come to pass hereafter; and He
Who reveals secrets has made known to you what will come to pass.
Nebuchadnezzar
was shown the world-ruling kingdom of the world from his time until the
Last Days. Verse 28 shows us
it will be in the Last
(latter) Days.
Babylon ruled the world under Nebuchadnezzar. From Nebuchad-nezzar's dream Daniyl was shown three more world-ruling kingdoms. It's a wonderful Prophetic fact that Yahweh revealed to Daniyl that there would only be four world ruling kingdoms of man. There has never been another. The next Kingdom to take over is Yahweh's Kingdom, that rules with the Righteous Laws of Yahweh!
After Nebuchadnezzar (Babylon), came the
prophesied Persians, then came
the Greeks. The fourth and last world-ruling kingdom was the Roman
empire, which subdued all the others previously named. From this fourth
beast, the Roman Empire, which already had ten major religions, came
another religious power called a little horn.
Daniyl
7:7-8—
7
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth
beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceedingly strong; and it
had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, then trampled
the residue with its feet. It was different
from all the beasts that were before it; and it had
ten horns.
8 I
considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them
another little horn, before whom there were three of the
first horns plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were
eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
This
religion is shown to exist even after the fourth world-ruling kingdom
broke into pieces. This religion stays in power and fights against
Yahweh's Way until Yahweh takes over all powers. But this religion is
not given the kingdoms in the end. They are given to the Saints of
Yahweh, whom the kingdom of the little horn fights against. Notice:
Daniyl
7:8-9, 27—
8 I
considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another little
horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked
up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were
eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
9 I
beheld until the thrones were set in place, and the
Ancient of Days did sit, Whose vesture was white
as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure wool; His Throne was
like the fiery flame, and His wheels as
burning fire.
27
Then the kingdoms and governments, and the
greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, will be given
to the people of the Saints of Yahweh, Whose Kingdom is
an Everlasting Kingdom, and all governments will serve and
obey Him.
The little horn fights against Yahweh's Kingdom and changes Yahweh's Sabbaths. That makes it little, which means worthless concerning Salvation, Peace, Joy, Love, and Eternal Life. The little horn is lacking or of no value. We get the following information from Webster's Dictionary.
lit·tle …4 small in importance or power [the rights of the little man] 5 small in force, intensity, etc.; weak 6 trivial; trifling 7 lacking in breadth of vision; narrow-minded; illiberal [a little mind] …
il·lib·er·al 1 [Archaic] lacking a liberal education; without culture; unrefined. 2 intolerant; bigoted; narrow-minded 3 not generous; stingy…
When
religions reject the Laws of Yahweh, they cut themselves off from
Righteous Wisdom and are left to their own carnal minds. Notice:
Romans
1:16-32—
16
For I am not ashamed of the Message, for it is the Strength of Yahweh
unto Life Everlasting for everyone who believes: to the Yahdai first,
and also to the Greek.
17
For in this Message is the Righteousness of Yahweh
revealed, originating from the Faith and
leading to the Faith; as it is written: The Just will live
by the Faith.
18
For the Judgment of Yahweh is revealed from heaven against all
unholiness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the Truth in
unrighteousness.
19
For that which is known about Yahweh is manifest to them, because
Yahweh has shown it to them.
20
For since the creation of the world, the invisible things of Him are
clearly seen__His Eternal
Power and Holiness—being understood by the things that are
written; so that they are without excuse.
21
Because that, when they knew Yahweh, they did not glorify Him
as Father, nor were thankful, but became idolatrous; godworshipers
(worshipers of elohim), in their reasoning, and their
senseless minds were darkened.
22
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools; simpletons,
23
And exchanged the Glory of the Incorruptible Father for images,
made to resemble corruptible man, and birds, four-footed beasts, and
creeping things.
24
Therefore, they were also given up to uncleanness through the lusts of
their own minds, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
25
Who exchanged the Truth of Yahweh for the lie; lords
(baalim), gods, goddesses (elohim) and demons, and worshiped
and served the creation, rather than the Creator, Who is blessed
forever. Praise Yahweh! HalleluYahweh!
26
For this reason they were given up to degrading passions: for even
their women exchanged the natural use into that which is against
nature.
27
And the men did the same thing: leaving the natural use of the woman, they
burned in their lusts for one another; men committing shameful acts
with men, and suffering in their own bodies the penalty for their
error, which is their fitting retribution.
28 And
so, since they did not like to retain Yahweh in their knowledge,
it came to pass that they were given over to a reprobate mind, to do
those things which are not proper;
29 Causing
to arise all unrighteousness, sexual impurity, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and
malice. They are gossips,
30 Backbiters;
slanderers, haters of Yahweh, despiteful, arrogant,
and boastful. They are inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents,
31
And without understanding. They are covenant-breakers,
without natural affection, implacable; truce breakers, and
unmerciful:
32
Who, knowing the Righteous Judgment of Yahweh, that those who practice
such things deserve death, not only continue to do these very
things, but also approve of those who practice them.
This
is speaking of the Catholic church, but it's also speaking of any
religion that follows the same rebellion that Nimrod started.
Genesis
10:10—
And
the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and all of them
in the land of Shinar; that is, Babylon.
Daniyl
7:21-25—
21 I
beheld, and the same horn made
war with the Saints, and prevailed against them;
22
Until the Ancient of Days came, and Judgment was given to the Saints of
Yahweh; and the time came that the Saints possessed the kingdoms.
23
This is what he said; The fourth beast will be the fourth
kingdom upon earth, which will be different from all other
kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will tread it
down, and break it in pieces.
24
And the ten horns out of this kingdom are
ten kings that will arise; and another
will rise after them; and he will be different from the first
ones, and he will subdue three kings.
25
And he will speak great words against Yahweh, and
will wear out; mentally attack to cause to fall away, the
Saints of Yahweh, and think to change the Feasts, Holy
Days, and Laws; and they will be given
into his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time.
Please notice the changing of Yahweh's Laws is only given into the hands of this worthless religion until a certain time period of which time we are now in.
The Sabbaths are Yahweh's Sabbaths. They are a sign of Yahweh on His People showing that it is Yahweh Who has set them apart and they belong to Yahweh and His Holy Work. Those who keep them belong to Yahweh, this is their sign that Yahweh sanctified them for Himself.
Yahweh's Sabbaths are Eternal Appointments with
Yahweh the Father and
Creator. They are vital for eternal peace, joy, love and life.
Genesis
2:2—
And
on the Seventh Day Yahweh ended His Work which He
had done, and He rested on the Seventh Day from all His Work which He
had done.
Exodus
31:13—
Speak
also to the children of Israyl, saying; Surely My Sabbaths
you shall keep, for they are signs
between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that
I am
Yahweh Who
sanctifies you, and
makes
you Holy.
Exodus
13:9—
And
it shall be as a Sign to you upon your hand and as
a Memorial between your eyes, that Yahweh's Laws shall be in your
mouth; for with a Strong Hand Yahweh has brought you out of Egypt.
This
is Yahweh's Sign; a sign that shows it is Yahweh
Who sanctifies the people who keep Yahweh's Sabbaths in the place
Yahweh chose to place His Name.
Deuteronomy
12:5—
But
you are to seek the habitation of your Father; The House of
Yahweh—the place which
Yahweh your Father shall choose out of all your
tribes to establish His Name—and there you must go.
These
practices of Yahweh's Sabbaths make manifest that that person,
practicing Righteousness, belongs to Yahweh and not Satan. Notice
carefully the next Scripture. Only Yahweh uses this Sign to identity
His People. Compare:
I
Yahchanan 3:7-10—
7
Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices
Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous.
8 He
who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the
beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He
might destroy the works of the devil.
9
Whoever is begotten of Yahweh does not commit sin; for His seed remains
in him; and it is possible for him not to sin, because he has been
begotten of Yahweh.
10 In
this the Children of Yahweh and the children of the
devil are manifest. Whoever does not
practice Righteousness is not of Yahweh,
and he does not love his neighbor!
The
little horn (religion) is not sanctified by Yahweh. They sanctify
themselves, but they do not have the power of life. Notice, they
sanctify or set themselves apart, but not for holy use; instead, for
rebellion against Yahweh's Laws, making them little or worthless
concerning salvation.
Isayah
66:17
They
who sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in
the gardens, following after the priests in the midst of those who eat
swine's flesh and the rodent—will be consumed together: says Yahweh.
Isayah
65:4—
Who
assemble and spend the night keeping memorials for the dead...
Memorials for the dead, meaning Halloween. This is a day that the little horn, the Catholic church, set apart as holy; a day they sanctified, not the creator Yahweh. Remember, they sanctify themselves. The memorials to the dead are called Halloween, All Saint's Day. To them, saint means one who rejects Yahweh's Laws. But the word saint as used by the Prophets and Apostles means a person who keeps all of Yahweh's Laws.
Halloween is a memorial to the dead.
Halloween was
condemned in the days of Isayah the Prophet, which shows that the
Catholic religion was active in that day. The same religion that is
shown as a little horn was active in the so-called "holy" Roman Empire.
Isayah
65:3-5—
3 A
people who continually act defiantly against Me to
My Face; who sacrifice in gardens, and burn incense on altars of brick;
4 Who
assemble and spend the night keeping memorials for the dead,
who eat swine's flesh, and the broth of abominable
things; unclean foods, is in their
vessels,
5 Who
say; Stand by yourself! Do not come near me, for I am holier
than you! These are an abomination before
Me, men who will be judged on that last day.
Please
notice verse 5, they call
themselves holy, but the
Prophets call them evil. This same religion had spread into the
rebellious house of Israyl, the twelve tribes of Israyl. They, too,
chose their own shame.
Isayah
66:3-5—
3
Whether they have killed an ox, killed a man, offered a lamb, broken
the neck of a dog, made a grain offering, offered swine's blood, made a
memorial offering of incense, or blessed a god (el)__they
have truly chosen their own ways, and their souls
delight in their abominations.
4 So
they will choose their delusions, and what they fear will be brought
upon them; because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they
did not listen, but they did evil in front of My Eyes, and chose that
in which I do not delight.
5
Hear the Word of Yahweh, you who rejoice in His Word; the
Laws and the Prophets: Your brothers who hate you, who
cast
you out because of My Name, said in scorn;
Let Yahweh show His Glory! Let us witness your joy! But they will
be ashamed.
The
twelve tribes in choosing these same pagan practices for making money,
but in service to the gods and the queen of heaven, cut themselves off
from Yahweh. The Prophet Yeremyah also warned Israyl of these evils
they were doing in worshiping Mary the queen of heaven; but they
rebelled against Yeremyah also.
Yeremyah
44:15-19, 22-26—
15
Then all the men who knew that their wives had burned incense to hinder
gods (elohim), together with all the women who stood by, a great
multitude in all, and all the people who lived in the land of Egypt and
in the country of Pathros, answered Yeremyah,
saying;
16
Concerning the word that you
have spoken to us in the Name of Yahweh, we will
not listen to you!
17
Instead, we will certainly do what we have vowed to do. We will burn
incense to the queen of heaven and pour out drink
offerings to her, just as we and our fathers, our kings and our
princes, used to do in the cities of Yahdah and in the streets of
Yerusalem; for then we had plenty of food, were successful, and
experienced no trouble.
18
But since we stopped burning incense to the queen of heaven and pouring
out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything, and have been
consumed by the sword and by famine.
19
The women then said; When we burned incense to the Queen of
Heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, it was not without our
husbands' knowledge and consent that we made cakes for her, to worship
her, and poured out drink offerings to her.
22
No, it was because Yahweh could no longer bear the evil of your doings,
because of the abominations which you committed, that your land has
become a desolation, an astonishment, a curse, and without an
inhabitant, as it is this day.
23
It was because you have burned incense, and because you have
sinned against Yahweh; and have neither obeyed the Voice of Yahweh, nor
walked in His Laws, nor in His Statutes, nor in His Testimonies;
therefore this disaster has come upon you, as it is this day.
24
Yeremyah also said to all the people and to all the women; Hear the
Word of Yahweh, all Yahdah who are in the land of
Egypt!
25
This is what Yahweh, the Father of Israyl, says: You have spoken with
your mouths, and fulfilled your promises with your hands, saying; We
will surely perform our vows that we have made, to burn incense to the
queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her. So you will surely
fulfill your vows and perform them!
26
But hear the Word of Yahweh, all Yahdaim who fellowship with the wicked
inhabitants of the house of god (el, elohim)! Behold, I have vowed with
My Great Name, says Yahweh: that never again will My Name be called in
the mouth of any man of Yahdah who fellowships with
all the wicked inhabitants of the house of god (el, elohim), saying; As
surely as Yahweh lives.
Yeremyah
7:18—
How
the children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire,
while the women knead dough to make cakes for the queen of
heaven, and how they pour out drink offerings to the hinder
gods...
Webster's New World College Dictionary:
Astarte...a Semitic goddess of fertility and sexual love, worshiped by the Phoenicians and others: see also ASHTORETH, ISHTAR.
Ashtoreth...the ancient Phoenician and Syrian goddess of love and fertility: identified with ASTARTE.
Ishtar...see ASHTORETH...the goddess of love, fertility, and war.
Astarte/Ashtoreth is the Queen of Heaven to whom the Canaanites had burned incense and poured libations.
Shekhina [is] the Hebrew Goddess of the Kabbala.
Through her identification with the Greek Aphrodite and the Roman Venus, Inanna-Ishtar, the queen of heaven, still survives in Roman Catholic iconography - e.g. as the Virgin Mary standing on the moon
Queen of Heaven with the ancient Phoenicians was Astarte; Greeks, Hera; Romans, Juno; Trivia, Hecate, Diana, the Egyptian Isis, etc., were all so called; but with the Roman Catholics it is the Virgin Mary.
Diana was called the Mother goddess and Queen of Heaven, just as Mary is called Mother of god and queen of heaven.
Baking cakes to the queen of heaven is still practiced today. Baking hot cross buns is an ancient pagan custom that is as the words "little horn" (worthless religion) shows—worthless.
Yes,
Christmas, too, as part of this worthless religion, is condemned by the
Prophets of Yahweh.
Yeremyah
10:1-10—
1
Hear the word which Yahweh speaks concerning you, O house of Israyl.
2
This is what Yahweh says: Do not learn the way;
religious practices, of the heathen; Gentile
nations; and do not be deceived by the signs of
heaven; though the heathen are deceived by them.
3
For
the religious customs of the peoples are
vain; worthless! For
one cuts a tree out of the forest, the
work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
4
They decorate it with silver and with gold; they
fasten it with nails and with hammers, so that it will not move; topple
over.
5
They are upright, like a palm tree, but they
cannot speak; they must be carried, because they cannot go by
themselves. Do not give them reverence! They cannot do evil,
nor is it in them to do Righteousness!
6
There
is none like You, O Yahweh! You are Great,
and Your Name is Mighty in Power.
7
Who
should not reverence You, O Father of nations? Yes, that is Your due!
Among all the wise men of the nations, and in all
their kingdoms, there is none like You!
8
But
they are altogether senseless; as one they are consumed by their
foolishness; their stock is a doctrine of vanities!
9
Silver beaten into plates is brought from
Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the craftsman and of the
hands of the goldsmith. Blue and purple are used for decoration; all are
made for use in worship, but are only the workmanship of
skilled men.
10
But Yahweh is the True Mighty One! He is the Living and Everlasting
Father! At His Judgment the earth will tremble, and the nations will
not be able to prevail over the performance of His Judgment.
In verse 2, we are warned not to learn these religious practices. Verse 3 tells us they are worthless. Think about it, what does cutting an evergreen tree and decking it with glittering trinkets have to do with Righteousness? The answer is nothing! The Laws of Yahweh teach Righteousness, Peace and Life.
Christmas is a moneymaking custom that is worthless for salvation. More people commit suicide during this pagan holiday season than at any other time of the year.
In Yeremyah 10:2, Yahweh warns us not to be deceived by the signs of heaven. Constantine, the Roman emperor and pope who changed Yahweh's Sabbath, saw a sign from heaven, a blazing cross with the inscription "by this sign conquer". The crusades came with this sign and murders by the thousands followed with continual war, the same as Cain.
