Today’s Teachings in Summary Sabbath at Abel 12/25/2021 Isayah 20

Men’s Presentation

Highlights:

• Only Yahweh can foretell the future; Yahweh’s prophecies are sure
• Submission to our authorities brings unity and joy
• The Faith is discussed/explained in relation to patience/confidence/conviction in Yahweh, His Laws, and Yahweh’s chosen teachers
• We live in the greatest time in history—seeing the fulfilment of end time prophecies
• Question: Will our righteousness stand the test? Do not fear, Yahweh is with us; over the years, Yahweh has built His House and builds up His people by allowing us the necessary time to overcome
• We establish our righteousness through the keeping of Yahweh’s Laws; Yahweh seeks to know what is in our heart—essentially what is our character—and to know if we will keep His Laws or not
• Consider how many people actually seek after Yahweh’s righteousness on the entire face of the earth—only Yahweh’s people who seek Him at His House
• Those who seek after Gods—those who have cut themselves off from Yahweh—will bring about their own destruction
• Yahweh has placed His strength (His Laws) in the minds of His people—we will teach Yahweh’s way to our children/all people/the universe; the Laws/the prophecies are the only two things that will keep Yahweh’s people from falling for deception, etc.
• To build The House of Yahweh requires a great deal of work/it is our job in the last days; the work is ‘tremendous’—the material is available, it is up to us to do the work—willingly; also includes the two greatest commandments, as taught by Yahshua
• Repentance/conversion allow us to meditate on the Word of Yahweh and to examine ourselves so we can perfect our overcoming all sin—requires a willing/pure heart
• In order to do the work of Yahweh, Yahweh’s people must be humble and seek after an understanding and discerning heart in regards to serving others

Sermon by Yisrayl Hawkins on 02/04/2017

Highlights from that sermon:

• Pastor went over details about the necessity to repent in contrast to teachings from the Vatican—scripture says they won’t repent
• Scripture shows prophecies coming to pass, according to Yahweh’s word
• Yahweh expects us to ‘guard and keep’ Yahweh’s way of righteousness; He knows the only way to have joy and life is through His Law—mankind must not partake of evil
• To be acceptable before Yahweh—righteousness will help us overcome the desire to sin
• Without Yahweh’s Laws, mankind has continual war; Cain taught his sons (Enoch) to follow God worship—we see that today in religions; prophecy shows they will perish; Yahweh allows mankind to go his way, to prove Yahweh’s plan from the beginning: this is necessary to teach mankind a valuable lesson
• In this sermon, Pastor explained the sea/see of glass—to see a vision (television) fulfilling Daniyl’s prophecy
