Leviticus 25:55

 

Leviticus 25:55

 

“Because the Children of Israel are Servants to Me, they are My Servants whom I Brought out of the land of Egypt. I AM JEHOVAH your ELOHIM!”

 

Rewritten for The Church: Because the Believers in CHRIST are Servants to Me, they are My Servants whom I Redeemed out of sin by the Blood of My Son JESUS CHRIST. I AM JEHOVAH your ELOHIM!

 

Leviticus 25 is about keeping the Sabbaths for the land and the Year of Jubilee.

 

Every seventh year is a Sabbath year and no farming is done, the land rests. GOD’s Provision is given in the abundance of the sixth year’s harvest, which will last for three years, :18-22. (Numbers 14:19-24; Hebrews 4:8-10, that rest comes with JESUS Return.)

 

When land or people become indebted – sold – they cannot remain in that status, everyone and everything is redeemable at any time, but every fiftieth year everyone and everything must be returned to its original status (except houses in a walled city, they can only be redeem during the first year of their possession).

 

At the conclusion of these Commands GOD says because He is JEHOVAH GOD that His Servants must be Redeemed. In Israel, under The Torah this was accomplished according to GOD’s Commandments of sacrifices to cover their sins and keeping Sabbaths and Jubilees.

 

In The Church (The Body of CHRIST) it is done by JESUS’ Life, Death, Resurrection and Ascension. JESUS fulfilled the Law of Redemption because He Fulfilled The Torah and The Prophets!

 

So if your are a Born Again Christian than you are GOD’s Servant! Are you Serving His Will and Purpose for your Life, family, community, fellowship?

Ezekiel 33

 

Ezekiel 33

 

:1-9 Warnings to watchmen about their responsibility to warn the people or the blood of the people who perish without being warned will held against them! I just published a teaching and video in this  on 9-26-2025, called Watchmen!.

 

:10-11 JEHOVAH declares that He takes no pleasure in the death of sinners (2 Peter 3:8-9). JEHOVAH says that if a righteous person commits a sin and dies, that his Righteous deeds of the past will not keep him from Judgement. This means that GOD does not practice “Once Saved Always Saved”. Do not say to yourself that this is the Old Testament and it does not matter or does not count or any other lame brained excuse to sin. JESUS said that He came to Fulfill the Torah and The Prophets, not do away with them, JESUS said that The Word of GOD will not pass away, it is Eternal (Matthew 5:17-20; Luke 16:14-18).

 

:12-16 Also, if a sinner repents and Lives a Righteous Life, at death his unrighteous deeds will not be held against him, what does Repentance mean? Verse15 “If the wrong Restores the pledge, gives back what he has stolen and walks in The Laws of Life without doing crookedness, he shall certainly Live; he shall not die.” (2 Chronicles 7:13-14; John 3:14-21; Acts 3:18-20).

 

:17-20 Then the children of Israel who were in Jerusalem during the captivity of Babylon were complaining that GOD was not being Fair! (Isaiah 55:8-9) JEHOVAH told them through Ezekiel in verse 20, “And you have said, ‘The Way of JEHOVAH is not fair.’ House of Israel, I shall Judge every one of you according to you own Ways.” (Matthew 7:13-14)

 

:21-29 A man escapes from Jerusalem to tell Ezekiel how bad it was in Jerusalem; and JEHOVAH open Ezekiels mouth to speak to the people in Jerusalem. The people were trying to claim the land as an inheritance without Repenting of their sins  and GOD Judged them. The judgment of verses 25-29 was only partially fulfilled in the days of their captivity in Babylon, its complete fulfillment did not happen until 70 AD when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and The Temple and scattered the Israelites throughout the whole world that lasted for 1,878 years. The application for The Church is “Stop Complaining”, it is going to get harder before it gets better; the Great Tribulation is coming before CHRIST’s Millennial Reign! And the war of Gog comes before The New Heaven, Earth and Jerusalem! (Revelation 20:7-21:7)

 

:30-33 JEHOVAH tells Ezekiel that the people come to him asking for a Word from GOD and the like GOD’s Word but then the people do not Obey GOD’s Word. The Judgment will come on them as a “thief in the night”, they will not be expecting it! (Revelation 22:20-21) There are many Christians today who live to hear the Word of GOD, who love to sing about GOD but who do not Listen and Obey GOD! They will be surprised at their Judgment (Matthew 7:21-29).

GODLY Partner!

Do You Have A GODLY Partner Or Is Your Marriage GODLY?

By Mahwish Khan

 

Genesis 2:21-22, “So JEHOVAH ELOHIM caused a deep sleep to fall on the man and he slept; and GOD took one of his ribs (tsel‛âh: which means side, not just a rib; it also means architectural support structure, like the side of the Tabernacle (1 Kings 6:15-16), and closed up the flesh in its place. The rib which JEHOVAH ELOHIM had taken from the man He made into a woman and brought her to the man.”

Point 1: This means the woman was not just a bone, she was part of the Temple structure of the man’s Calling.

 

Point 2: Divine sleep before Divine match; this sleep is not just physical alone it is a prophetic stillness. The more a woman is hidden in GOD the more likely she is to be revealed at the right time.

 

Point 3: The war over Marriage is over thrones, satan does not fight Marriages because of emotion. Marriage is a Throne of generational Legislation! Abraham and Sarah birthed a Covenant nation. Ahab and Jezebel birthed a national destruction. Genesis 2:24, “For this cause a man will leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife and they shall become on flesh.” The two shall become one (’echâd) the same as Deuteronomy 6:4, “Hear, O Isra’el; JEHOVAH our ELOHIM, JEHOVAH is One!”

 

Your marriage is not just personal its prophetic and governmental. Our JESUS CHRIST is our groom and we are His Bride; He gave His Life for us so that we become His Followers.

Watchmen!

 

Watchmen!

 

Throughout the First Testament we read about watchmen, being a watchman was a very important position with a lot of responsibility. They were lookouts for those approaching the city or community. They had the responsibility to announce the approach of important people or warn of approaching enemies or even warn of approaching weather. Cities big and small would have watchmen posted 24 hours a day every day; they would be posted in a place where they could see in the distance what was happening or approaching, on walls or in towers.

 

The Scriptures mention watchmen: 2 Samuel 18:24-27.

The Scriptures tell us that some have been called to be a watchman: Ezekiel 3:17.

The Scriptures tell us that being a Watchman of JEHOVAH is an awesome responsibility: Ezekiel 33:1-9; Psalm 127:1.

The Scriptures teach us that all Believers are watchmen: Proverbs 24:10-12, 24-26; Luke 10:1-24; Mark 13:33-37,16:14-18; 2 Corinthians 6:5, 11:27 (in these two passages in KJV it is “watchings”, in NKJV is it is “fastings”).

 

As Believers in JESUS CHRIST we are called to be about the Father’s Business in the earth as it is in Heaven and Watching for JESUS’ Return!

 

What is the Father’s Business? Redeeming His Creation! John 3:16-17 is The Father’s Business!

 

That is why that before He laid the foundation of the earth (1 Peter 1:13-21), before He created anything in our reality; He determined to come to earth as a human, born of a virgin so that He was fully GOD and fully Man – JESUS is The Son of Man and The Son of JEHOVAH GOD! GOD knew that Adam was going to sin and that He would have to Redeem us from the Eternal Judgment of Hell that was created for the devil (Matthew 25:41). So JEHOVAH GOD formed a human male in a virgin’s (Miryam [Mary] a direct descend of King David) womb. GOD revealed His plan throughout history to humanity (Psalm 22; Isaiah 53), mostly through the Hebrew people, to come as a Savior for all humanity (if you believe in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and Savior and Confess Him as Risen from the dead you will be Saved, Romans 10:8-13).

 

How are Believers in JESUS supposed to be about JEHOVAH GOD’s Business? Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:14-18; Romans 1:16-17, Romans 10.

 

All Christians are todays Watchmen! JESUS told us to Watch for His Return, to be ready for His Return and to be about the Work of His Kingdom while we are Watching for His Return, Matthew 24:42-44, 25:13; Mark 13:33-37; Luke 12:35-40, 21:34-36; Revelation 3:1-3; 16:12-16). The Apostles also watched and warned, Acts 20:24-32; 1 Corinthians 16:13; Ephesians 6:17-20; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11; 2 Timothy 4:1-5; Hebrews 13:16-17; 1 Peter 4:7-11.

 

Are you Born Again, are you Watching, are you Warning?

The Sin Of Nakedness!

 

The Sin Of Nakedness!

Did you ever wonder why nakedness was a sin?

 

About 3000 years after creation GOD gave The Hebrew people The Torah – The Law, it was meant for all peoples of all nations but the Hebrews failed in their responsibility to Live by It and disseminate it to the rest of the world.

 

In the Torah, Leviticus 18 has a lot of regulations about nakedness and sex, sometimes the two are related but not always.

The third time naked or nakedness is mentioned in the Bible is in The Torah given in Exodus and Leviticus.

The second time naked or nakedness is mentioned in The Bible is in Genesis 9:20-23, the nakedness of Noah and GOD’s judgment on Ham for exposing his nakedness.

The first time naked or nakedness is mentioned in The Bible Genesis 2:23-25 (‛ârôm)* and Genesis 3:7-13 (‛êrôm)*.

 

I have always understood that seeing other people naked was a moral issue that was generally fronded upon in civilized nations; which is why it is such a strong temptation. But it is deeper than that, in Genesis the first mention of nakedness or nudity is in 2:25 after GOD made Eve, it states, “And they were both naked, the man and his wife and were not ashamed.” GOD united them in Marriage so that they were one flesh, and they did not realize they were naked because there was no sin!

 

In Genesis 3 we see sin and shame arrive with the knowledge of Good and evil; “So Adam SAID, ‘I heard Your voice in the Garden and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.’ JEHOVAH asked, ‘Who told you that you were naked, have you  eaten from the tree of which I told you not to eat?’ Adam’s response was to blame Eve and so sin, shame and blaming became part of Marriage.

 

The reason that nakedness outside of Marriage is a sin is because it is representative of human rebellion against GOD and His institution of Marriage. Adam and Eve did not know they were naked and there was no sexuality associated with their nakedness until Adam sinned!

 

Pornography started as depicting the naked human body, it has grown to very gross levels of immorality and perversion. Many Christians partake of the sin of pornography via television, movies, books and the internet; not just the hard core pornography but also the soft core pornography! Watching people other than your spouse or your very young children who are naked is a sin before JEHOVAH GOD!

 

If you are a Christian, married or single and when you see an attritive person of the opposite sex and your thoughts are sensual or sexual then you are sinning according to JESUS, “You have heard that it was said of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery!’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.” (Matthew 5:27-30 NKJV)

My paraphrase of this passage of Scripture, ““You have heard that it was said of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery!’ But I say to you that whoever looks at another person to lust for them has already committed sexual immorality with them in their heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.”

 

In Revelation 22:15 JESUS lists those who will not be allowed into Jerusalem during His 1000 year Reign over the nations of the earth, “But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters and whoever loves and practices a lie.”

In Revelation 21:8 JESUS lists those who will not be allowed into His Eternal Kingdom (Heaven), “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

 

To JEHOVAH GOD this is a very serious issue, do not be on the wrong side of the sin of nakedness!

 

*Naked = 6174 (Genesis 2:25) ‛ârôwm or ‛ârôm = nude, either partially or totally:-naked. From 6191 ‛âram = a primary root; probably to be (or make) bare; but used only in the derivative sense (through the idea perhaps of smoothness) to be cunning (usually in a bad sense):- X very beware, take crafty [counsel], be prudent, deal subtilly.

Naked = 5903 (Genesis 3:7, 10-11) ‛êyrôm or ‛êrôm = nudity:-naked (ness). From 6191 (Proverbs 19:25; Isaiah 36:18) ‛âram = a primary root; probably to be (or make) bare; but used only in the derivative sense (through the idea perhaps of smoothness) to be cunning (usually in a bad sense):- X very beware, take crafty [counsel], be prudent, deal subtilly.

Nakedness = 6172 Leviticus 18, 20 ‛ervâh = nudity, literality (especially the pudenda) or figuratively (disgrace or blemish):-nakedness, shame, unclean *-ness). From 6168 (Lamentations 4:21) ‛ârâh = a primary root; to be (causatively make) bare; hence to empty, pour out, demolish:-leave destitute, discover, empty, make naked, pour (out), rase, spread self, uncover.

Faith In The Storm by Pastor Juan Rios

 

Faith In The Storm

Matthew 14:22-33 by Pastor Juan Rios

 

True faith is not in the absence of the storm but True Faith is in the middle of the storm!

 

:22-24 “Immediately JESUS made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. And when He had sent the multitudes away He went up onto the mountain by Himself to Pray. Now when evening came He was alone there. But the boat was now in the middle of the sea tossed by the waves for the wind was contrary.” Storms are a part of Obedience – JESUS sent the disciples into the midst of the storm. Obedience does not exempt us from the storm but the storm is to increase our Faith!

 

:25-27 “Now in the forth watch of the night, JESUS went to them walking on the sea; and when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea they were troubled, saying, ‘It is a ghost!’ and they cried out for fear. But immediately JESUS spoke to then, saying, ‘Be of Good Cheer, it is I do not be afraid!’” JESUS sees you and comforts you. JESUS walking on the water saw their struggle (Mark 6:47-52). JESUS walks above the storm and tells us not to be afraid! When emotions take over remember that JESUS is in our storm!

 

:28-29 “Peter answered Him and said, ‘LORD, if it is You, Command me to come to You on the water.’ So JESUS said, ‘Come!’ and when Peter had come down out of the boat he walked on the water to go to JESUS.’” Faith steps out of the boat! Peter says, “LORD, if it is you, command me…”, this is the question we should ask in every situation of our Life! JESUS said, “Come!”  Do not wait for the circumstances to be just right! Peter wants to exercise his Faith but he did not step out until JESUS said to, when JESUS Calls step out in Faith!

 

:30-31 “But when he saw that the wind was boisterous he was afraid and beginning to sink, He cried out saying, ‘LORD Save Me!’ and immediately JESUS reached out his hand and caught him, and said to him, ‘O you of Little Faith why did you doubt?’“ Doubt distracts but Grace Saves! Everyone at some point in our Life have doubted and not stepped out in Obedient Faith! Peter lost his focus on JESUS he focused on his circumstances in the storm and started to sink; he called out to JESUS and JESUS immediately reached out and saved him! Faith does not mean you will not fall but it means you know Who to Call to for Grace!

 

:32-33 “And when they got into the boat the wind ceased. Then those who were in the boat came and Worshiped Him, saying, ‘Truly You are The Son of GOD!’” When JESUS entered into the circumstances of the disciples the storm calmed (Matthew 8:23-34) and they recognized Him as LORD and worshipped Him! They moved from fear to Worship! Every storm is an opportunity to see JESUS more clearly and to Worship Him more deeply!

 

In the storm are my eyes on the circumstances or on JESUS The LORD of all creation? JESUS does not Promise us a storm free Life. JESUS does Promise to be with us to lift us up and calm the storm! In the storm JESUS Calls us to step out and then we can call out for Him to Save us if we need to, then we should Worship the One Who brings us through. We know that GOD is in Control so we should be Bold in our Faith!

GOD Knows Our Sins!

 

GOD Knows Our Sin!

 

Proverbs 5:21-23 “For the ways of man are before the eyes of JEHOVAH, and He considers all his paths. The wrong one is entrapped in his own crookedness and he is caught in the cords of his sin. He dies for lack of discipline and in the greatness of his folly he goes astray.”

GOD sees all, knows all and hears all, even our thoughts!

 

James 1:13-16 “Let no one say when he is enticed, ‘I am enticed by GOD,’ for GOD is not enticed by evil  and He entices no one! But each one is enticed when he is drawn by his own desires and trapped. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin when it has been accomplished brings forth death. Do not go astray my beloved brothers.”

I call this LSD – lust, sin, death!

 

The Blood of JESUS takes away our sins! (1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Hebrews 9:13-1 7; Revelation 1:4-6)

 

The water of Baptism in JESUS’ (Father, Son , HOLY SPIRIT) Name washes us and buries our sins with JESUS in the Grave; when we rise from Baptism we are filled with GOD’s HOLY SPIRIT and made a New Creation in JESUS CHRIST! (Mark 1:1-11; John 3:3-7; Acts 22:14-16; Romans 6:1-7; Colossians 2:11-14)

 

We are washed in The Water of The Word, as we read and study the Word of GOD it cleanses our soul! (Ephesians 5:25-27)

 

So what am I saying? GOD sees and knows our sins and He is Calling us to Repentance!

Repentance is not the act of asking for Forgiveness! When our heart is pricked by GOD’s SPIRIT that we are a sinner and need Salvation that can only be received through JESUS CHRIST (John 14:6) and we ask GOD to Forgive us our sins, that is only the beginning. (Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:14-18) Salvation is Forgiveness and Repentance, Repentance is everything that we do in Obedience to GOD after we receive Forgiveness. Baptism in water, Baptism in GOD’s SPIRIT, Baptism in GOD’s Word (2 Timothy 2:14-17, 3:14-17); if we are Living in these behaviors we will be Living in Obedience to GOD, Overcoming temptation and sin!

 

JESUS throughout the Gospels and Revelation tells us to have ears that Hear What The SPIRIT is Saying and to Overcome. You will not Hear What The SPIRIT is Saying if you do not know What GOD’s Word Says and if you do not Hear What The SPIRIT is Saying you will not be able to Overcome the issues of Life and sin!

Are You A Christian Or Are You Being A Christian?

 

Are You A Christian Or Are You Being A Christian?

 

It seems like a confusing question but it is actually an important question, are you or are you being?

 

So what is the difference? You can be a Christian: believe in JESUS as The Son of GOD and Savior, go to Church regularly and pay tithes and live a moral live. But that is not being! If you “are” a Christian than you are just meeting the minimum requirements of receiving Eternal Life. If you are “being” a Christian than you are living your life to the fullest that you can, Obeying GOD’s Will and Purpose for your Life.

 

So the question is are you just present or are you actively present? Are you doing what is required to get by or are you Seeking GOD and His Righteousness First before everything else?

 

Look at the lives of the apostles and early Christians, they were actively present, they were seeking GOD and His Righteousness and they were accused of changing the whole world. What is your Christianity changing? Only yourself or are you Obeying GOD’s Purpose for your Life, no matter how hard it is? Did Paul ask, pray or desire all the bad things that happened to him? No! But he willingly accepted them for the sake of fulfilling GOD’s Purpose for his life!

 

Deuteronomy 11:18 “Therefore you shall lay up these Words of Mine in your Heart and in your Soul and bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.” If we are to Seek GOD First then we must read and study His Word The Bible. JESUS said The Father was going to give us His SPIRIT to teach us, to convict us, to council us, to comfort us and to remind us of everything that JESUS Said! Are you Seeking Him and His Righteousness?

 

Romans 12:2 “Do not be conformed to the world, but be Transformed by the Renewing of your Mind, that you may Prove what is that Good and Acceptable and Perfect Will of GOD.” The SPIRIT of GOD Renews our Mind by The Word of GOD! The Word of GOD Washes us clean of the things we learned from the world.

 

Exodus 20 is the Ten Commandments and Leviticus 19-20 is the defining of the Ten Commandments. Learn and Live by them as a Good Start to Serving The Will of GOD that is for every Believer. But we also must Seek Him and His Righteousness so that we can fine His Purpose and Call for us as His Child and Servant!

Dream - Isaiah 14

 

Dream – Isaiah 14

 

I awoke about 4AM on Friday September 19, 2025 from a dream. My dream began with a conversation with my wife, Charlene, who was reminding me that I was to give a very important message when I came home from work.

Then I was at work in an office building, It grew late and almost everyone had gone home, as I was leaving I was called back by a supervisor (in my dream this was a real supervisor when I worked for Kyocera Wireless) he was with three other men (one was a friend, co-worker and Christian, Greg Florey). My supervisor told me they (the company) needed me to make a public statement about what was happening in the world.

I told him I was supposed to go home to give a message about this, but he insisted. I asked if they had an outline yet and he said they did. I asked about including The Bible in the message, not as a sermon but to emphasize the point of the message. He said yes that would be good. As I was awakening I heard  Isaiah 14 so I got up and read it.

 

Isaiah 14 is about JEHOVAH GOD’s Blessing on Israel as He brings them out of their seventy years of captivity for their disobedience and rebellion (:1-2). It is about JEHOVAH GOD’s Judgment on Babylon (:3-11), it is about JEHOVAH GOD’s Judgment on Lucifer (:12-21), it is about the destruction of Babylon (:22-23), Assyria (Siria; :24-27) and Philistia (Palestine; :28-31).

 

There is much imagery in Isaiah 14, it is important to read it slowly and ask The SPIRIT of JEHOVAH GOD to show you what He wants you to learn!

 

“For JEHOVAH will have mercy on Jacob (Israel) and will still choose Israel and settle them in their own Land. The strangers will be joined with them and they will cling to the House of Jacob. Then people will take them and bring them to their own place and The House of Israel will Possess them for servants and maids in the Land of JEHOVAH; they will take them captive whose captives they were and rule over their oppressors. (While this is specifically about the time after Israel’s seventy years of captivity it is also about today. Since Israel was restored as a nation in 1948, they have been threatened and attacked about a dozen times and they have won every fight and come out stronger each time.)

It shall come to pass in the day JEHOVAH gives you rest from your sorrow and from your fear and the hard bondage in which you were made to serve, that you will take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, ‘How the oppressor has ceased, the golden (insolent) city ceased! JEHOVAH has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers; he who struck the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he who ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted and no one hinders. The whole earth is at rest and quiet; they break forth into singing (both rejoicing and worship of JEHOVAH GOD; Isaiah 55:12). Indeed the cypress trees rejoice over you and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, “Since you were cut (have lain) down no woodman has come up against us.” Hell from beneath is excited about you, to meet you at your coming; it stirs up the dead for you. All the chief ones of the earth, it has raised up their thrones all the kings of the nations. They all speak and say to you: ‘Have you also become as weak as we? Have you become like us? Your pomp has been brought down to Sheol (hell), and the sound of your stringed instruments; the maggot is spread under you, and worms cover you.’” (All men fail in death; all men are judged rightly in death; Hebrews 9 27; Revelation 20:11-15.)

 

“How you are fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! (Ezekiel 28:11-15; Revelation 12:7-9) For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into Heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of GOD, I will sit on the mount of the congregation (Zion) on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like The Most High.’ Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the pit! Those who see you will gaze at you and consider you, saying: ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms, who made the world as a wilderness and destroyed its cities, who did not open (would not release) the house of his prisoners?’ All the kings of the nations, all of them sleep in glory, everyone in his own house; but you are cast out of your grave like an abominable (despised) branch, like the garment of those who are slain, thrust (pierced) through with a sword, who go down to the stones of the pit, like a corpse trodden underfoot! You will be joined with them in burial because you have destroyed your land and slain your people, the brood of evildoers shall never be named. (In Revelation 2:17 those who overcome the devil will receive a new Heavenly Name from JESUS, our True Name that JEHOVAH GOD gives us when He writes out the days of our life before we are born [Psalm 139] and enters it in The Lambs Book of Life; these who serve the devil will be nameless in their eternal judgment.) Prepare slaughter for his children (Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 19:17-21, 20:11-15) because of the iniquity of their fathers, less they rise up and possess the land and fill the face of the earth with cities.”

 

“’For I will rise up against them,’ says JEHOVAH of Hosts  ‘and cut off from Babylon the name and remnant and offspring and posterity,’ says JEHOVAH. ‘I will also make it a possession for the porcupine and marshes of muddy water; I will sweep it with the broom of destruction.’ Says JEHOVAH of Hosts. JEHOVAH of Hosts has sworn, saying, ‘Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass and as I have purposed, so it shall stand: that I Will break the Assyrian in My Land and on My Mountains tread him underfoot! Then his yoke shall be removed from them and his burden removed from their shoulders. This is the Purpose that is purposed against the whole earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations! For JEHOVAH of Hosts has Purposed and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out and who will turn it back?’”

 

“This is the burden that came in the year that king Ahaz died (Again, yes this was about that time, but it is also about today in Israel as they fight against the modern Philistines.). ‘Do not rejoice all you of Philistia, because the rod that struck you is broken: for out of the serpents roots will come forth a viper and its offspring will be a fiery flying serpent (Revelation 12). The firstborn of the poor will feed, and the needy will lie down in safety; I will kill your roots with famine and it will slay your remnant. Wail, O gate! Cry O city! All you of Philistia are dissolved (exist no more); for smoke will come from the north and no one will be alone in his appointed times (Or ranks). What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That JEHOVAH has founded Zion (Jerusalem), and the poor of His People shall take refuge in it.’”

Isaiah 1 America Repent!

 

Isaiah 1

America Repent!

 

This is the first Message JEHOVAH gave Isaiah for Israel, like all of GOD’s Words it applies to all nations and peoples, especially America (The United States of America) because like Israel this nation was founded by GOD; through His People who wanted to Worship and Serve Him without religious or governmental interference. Like Israel, America was called to proclaim JEHOVAH GOD as the True and Living GOD of all creation Who wants to save us from our sin through His Only Begotten Son, JESUS CHRIST! But like Israel America has fallen and turned from JEHOVAH GOD.

 

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning America (Judah) and Washington DC (Jerusalem) in the days of Clinton (Uzziah), GW Bush (Jotham), Obama (Ahaz), and Trump (Hezekiah), presidents (kings) of America (Judah).

 

Hear O heavens and give ear O earth for JEHOVAH has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children and they have rebelled against Me! The ox knows its owner and the donkey its master’s feed troth; But America (Israel) does not know, my people do not consider.”

 

Alas, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a brood of evildoers, children who are corrupters! They have forsaken JEHOVAH, they have provoked to anger The Holy One of America (Israel), they have turned away backward.

 

Why should you be stricken again? You will revolt more and more. The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faints. From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, wounds and bruises and putrefying sores; they have not been closed or bound up or soothed with ointment.

 

Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire; illegal aliens (strangers) devour your land is your presence; and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. So the daughter of America (Zion) is left as a shelter in a vineyard, as a hut in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. Unless JEHOVAH of hosts had left to us a small remnant we would have become like Sodom, we would have been made like Gomorrah.

 

Hear The Word of JEHOVAH you rulers of Washington DC (Sodom); give ear to The Law of your GOD you people of America (Gomorrah): “To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?” says JEHOVAH. “I have had enough of abortion (burnt offerings of rams) and the poisoning of food (fat of fed cattle). I do not delight in the blood of murder (bulls), or of transgender surgery (lambs) or lgbt+ (goats).

 

When you come to appear before Me, who has required this from your hand, to trample My Churches (courts)? Bring no more futile regulations (sacrifices); incense is an abomination to Me. The New Moons, the Sabbaths and the calling of assemblies – I cannot endure  iniquity and the sacred meeting. Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My Soul Hates! They are a trouble to Me; I am weary of bearing them. When you pray (spread your hands) I Will Hide My Eyes from you; I Will Not Hear! Your hands are full of bloodshed (blood).

 

Wash yourselves make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My Eyes. Cease to do evil! Learn to do Good; Seek Justice, rebuke the oppressor, defend the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now and let us Reason together,” says JEHOVAH, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you are Willing and Obedient you shall eat The Good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel you shall be devoured by the sword!” For the mouth of JEHOVAH has spoken!

 

How the faithful city (Washington DC) has become a harlot (unfaithful)! It was full of Justice; Righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers! Your silver has become dross; your wine mixed with water. Your rulers (princes) are rebellious and companions of thieves; everyone loves bribes and follows after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless nor does the cause of the widow come before them.

 

Therefore JEHOVAH says, JEHOVAH of hosts, the Mighty One of America (Israel)’ “Ah, I will rid Myself of (be relieved of) my adversaries and take vengeance on My enemies! I Will turn My hand against you and thoroughly purge away (refine with lye) your dross and take away all your alloy. I Will restore your judges as at the first and your councilors as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the city of Righteousness, the faithful City!”

 

America (Zion) will be Redeemed with Justice and her penitents (Lit. returners) with righteousness! The destruction of transgressors and of sinners together, Those who forsake JEHOVAH shall be consumed. For they (some) shall be ashamed of the sites of pagan worship (terebinth trees) which you have desired; you shall be embarrassed because of the gardens which you have chosen. For you shall be as terebinth whose leaf fades and a garden that has no water. The strong shall be tinder and the work of it as a spark; both will burn together and no one shall quench.

 

Read and Pray 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 for America!

Repentance!

 

Repentance!

In Luke 3:1-14 John Defines Repentance!

 

“John went into all the region around the Jordan, Preaching a Baptism of Repentance for the Remission of sins, (Baptism is the immersion into water to symbolize the washing away of sins to those who ask GOD for Forgiveness of their sins. Repentance is the lifestyle of stopping sinning and starting to Live Righteous before GOD.)

 

Then John said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, ‘Brood of vipers! (Genesis 3:1) Who warned you (Ezekiel 3:17-21; 1 Thessalonians 5:14)  to flee from the wrath to come? (Psalm 2:1-6; Romans 1:18-21)

 

Therefore bear fruits (Proverbs 12:12-14; Matthew 7:15-20) worthy of repentance (2 Chronicles 7:13-14; 2 Corinthians 7:8-12) and do not begin to say to yourselves, “We have Abraham as our father.” For I say to you that GOD is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. (Luke 19:37-40; 1 Peter 2:4-8)

 

And even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. (Matthew 3:10, 7:15-20) Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” (Psalm 37:9; Proverbs 2:22; John 15:5-6)  Study JESUS’ Woes, Matthew 11:21, 18:7, 23:13-29, 26:24; Luke 6:24-26, 10:13, 11:42-52, 17:1, 22:22 (yes some of them are duplicates.)

 

So the people asked him, saying, “What shall we do then?” He answered and said to them (Repent), “He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; (Matthew 5:40) and he who has food, let his do likewise.” (Isaiah 58:6-7; James 2:15-16)

 

Then the tax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, “Teacher what shall we do?” So he said to them, “Collect no more than what is appointed for you.” (Leviticus 25:35-38; 1 Timothy 3:2-3)

 

Likewise the solders (Not Roman) asked him, saying, “What shall we do?” So he said to them, “Do not shake down for money or accuse falsely and be content with your wages.”’” (Exodus 20:13-17; Deuteronomy 16:19; Romans 13:8-10)

Forgiveness!

 

Forgiveness!

 

John 20:21-23 “So JESUS said to them again, ‘Peace to you! As The Father has sent Me, I also send you.’ When He has said this He breathed on them, and said to them, ‘Receive The HOLY SPIRIT! If you Forgive the sins of any, they are Forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’”

Have you ever thought what that means, we have the authority to forgive or not forgive someone’s sin?*

 

James 5:13-16 “Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray! Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms! Is anyone among you sick? Let him call upon the Elders of the Church, and let them Pray over them, anointing them with oil in The Name of The LORD. The Prayer of Faith will Save the sick and The LORD will Raise them up. If they have committed sins they will be Forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another and Pray for one another, that you may be healed! The Effective, Fervent Prayer of a Righteous person avails much.”

See how repentance (which starts with confession), prayer and forgiveness work together to bring healing and recovery?

 

1 John 2:1-2 “My little children these things I write to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have an Advocate with The father, JESUS CHRIST The righteous! He Himself is the Propitation (Mercy Seat) for our sins and not for ours only but also for the whole world!” John 1:29

 

We have to have at least one person in our life who is a mature Christian who we trust our life to; it may or may not be a pastor or church leader. Someone we can confess our sins to!

 

 

*JESUS told us if we do not forgive someone who sins against us then our Father in Heaven would not forgive our sins, Matthew 6:13-14. How do we reconcile this?  In Matthew 6:13-14 JESUS is talking about someone sinning against us as this follows 6:9-12 where JESUS teaches us to ask for forgiveness for our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.

There is a point in a person’s life that prayer for them is not valid, Romans 1:18-24; 1 Timothy 4:4-5. The reality is that we have the authority in JESUS CHRIST to not Forgive sin, of those who do not sin against us personally but whose sinful life is so dark they seem and proclaim that they are unredeemable, Matthew 7:15-20; 1 Corinthians 5; 2 Timothy 3:1-9.

 Remember Matthew 7:1-2, 12 “Judge not, that you be not judged! For with the Judgment you Judge, you will be Judged; and with the measure you use it will be measured back to you….Therefore, whatever you want people to do to you, do also to them, for this is The Law and The Prophets.”
