THE WORLD
When most people hear the world “world”, they think of a globe, the earth and all that is in it. But, the ancient Scriptures of the Hebrew culture have a different view.
I John 2:15-18a: “DO NOT LOVE THE WORLD OR THAT WHICH IS IN THE WORLD. IF ANYONE LOVES THE WORLD, THE LOVE OF THE FATHER IS NOT IN HIM.Because all that is in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away and the lust of it, but they that do the desires of Elohim remain forever. Little children, it is the last hour”.
The “world system” began in Genesis chapter 3 – in the Garden of Eden. Representing the future “mankind”, Eve, then Adam, chose the lusts of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life over obedience to Yahuweh. Thus the great division came to be, between the “gnosis” – the “knowledge of good and evil” to know what God knows so that man could usurp His power over them and rule on their own – and submission and obedience to the Creator’s rules and boundaries – “the tree of life”.
The epitome of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil became centered in the cultures of Greece and Rome. This culture has permeated the entire earth. In it is the core of Nimrod – the creator of Babylon who started the trinity, sun god worship around himself, and his attempt to dethrone Yahuweh with his building the “tower”.
This core kingdom (“the world”) that has spread to the whole earth is the creation of Lucifer/Satan.
The opposing Kingdom is the Kingdom of Yahuweh – comprised of those from one lineage, one family, in one land, with one Covenant that separates His family from the world. (II Samuel 7:22-26) This one family came through Seth to Abraham, Yitzak and Yacob, known as the House of Ya’cob, comprised twelve tribes--family clans. Because of extreme sin after Solomon died, this “House” was divided into two groups and scattered out of His land--the greatest punishment He could give His people--The House of Judah and the House of Ephraim. Messiah will unite these two divided “houses” into one when His Kingdom comes to take back the earth from the opposing kingdom. (Ezekiel 37:15-28 and hundreds of other verses)
The central theme of the Word is the restoration of the tribes back into our land, under His Covenant. It is the passion of His heart (Jeremiah 32:41-42) This is why Messiah had to come and die. Matthew 15:24: “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the House of Israel” – the northern 10 tribes who rebelled against the Torah of Yahuweh, choosing to follow the revolt of Jeroboam, their king.
“Sin is the transgression (revolt, rebellion, apostasy) of the Torah”. (I John 3:4b)
“Torah” means the instructions and teachings of Yahuweh for right-ruling in His Kingdom. In Greek, the word is “nomos”, and means to teach – to feed sheep and goats.
Because of the hate of Lucifer being entrenched in the cultures of Greece and Rome, Antiochus Ephiphanes (167 CE) and Emperor Hadrian (2nd century CE), outlawed Yahuweh’s Torah with the penalty of death for anyone continuing to obey it. Later, Jerome incorporated the Latin word for “judicial law” in the place of Torah (or nomos), making the good Torah of the Kingdom of heaven out to be the disgusting
“law of the Jews”. The whole Word, including the Messianic Writings, was written in Hebrew. The Messianic Writings was then translated into Aramaic and then into Greek, then into Latin, then into the languages of the nations. But, in its translation into English, certain words were inserted, or left out, that twisted the thinking of the system of Greece (“church”: from Circe--a pagan goddess, daughter of Helios the sun god, who loved to turn men into pigs – blasphemy against the Torah), and caused all who read the new translations to be taken away from their Hebrew roots totally. The driving obsession of Greece and Rome was to separate all mankind from any relationship to the Elohim of Israel and His “bands” – (Psalm 2).
Yet a simple reading of Leviticus 23:1-4 states it clearly: “And Yahuweh spoke to Moshe saying `Speak to the children of Israel (Ya’cob) and say to them, “THE APPOINTED TIMES OF YAHUWEH, which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings. MY APPOINTED TIMES are these: Six days work is done, but on the seventh day is a Shabbat of rest – a set-apart gathering. You do no work – it is a set-apart Shabbat in all your dwellings. These are the appointed times of Yahuweh, set apart gatherings which you are to proclaim at their appointed times” ’ ”. Then He proceeds to outline the seven festivals: Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Shavu’ot (Pentecost), Yom Teruah (the Feast of Trumpets), Yom Kippur (the day of Atonement), and Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles). Messiah was born on Yom Teruah, for He came to “tabernacle among us”.
He will return on a Yom Teruah – amidst the blowing of shofars. Yom Teruah is the only festival that falls on the first day of a month. His days begin at sunset, which He established at creation, and each month is determined by the sighting of the first sliver of the new moon. Thus “no man knows the day and hour” of the sighting of the new moon – it would be either the 29th day of the month or the 30th – going into the next month. “…My ways are not your ways, and My thoughts are not your thoughts…” (Isaiah 55:6-11)
By following these “paths (or tracks) of righteousness”, we are good citizens in the Kingdom of heaven. (Psalm 23:3) There is no reward given for a “belief system”; we will be judged and rewarded according to our “works” – the actions that prove our faith.
The world follows different paths. Its paths were created by world rulers under Lucifer’s control, especially the Emperors of Rome –Hadrian and Constantine being chief emperors who created new paths for the western world to walk in – paths of Lucifer.
I John 2:15-17 makes a clear distinction, relating back to Genesis 3, of the paths of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and the path of obedience within the perimeters of the good teachings of Yahuweh.
The “world” is mankind--a troubled and tormented mankind with the lack of the boundaries of Yahuweh, everyone doing what is right in his own eyes--but enslaved to a hidden master who is Lucifer. The thinking and goals of the world are rooted in enslavement to Lucifer--thinking they are “gods” to rule their own lives. Yet, in America alone there are 2.4 million laws. Yahuweh has for us, less than about 50 – in actually only two categories. Yet, mankind wants to throw off these few rules, boundaries, instructions, because they refuse to worship the Elohim (God) of Abraham, Yitzak and Ya’cob. Today, in America, for example, the Ten Commandments have been removed from courtroom walls, school walls, and other public places. The international community has followed the leading of the Vatican in outlawing the name Yahuweh. It has condemned the Bible as a “hate crime book”. The Inquisition never ceased – it is soon to be revived.
I wrote in “The Unleashing” and “The Unleashing II” and the Declaration Assignment, July/August 2012, that the world is now crying out to throw off the “bands” – the boundaries, the good instructions, of Yahuweh, for “freedom” to do as they please.
They are crying for the return of the “sky gods”, particularly of Zeus and his son Apollo (Apollyon/Revelation 9:11) to rule them. They are calling for Lucifer to rule them by his son – the Beast, the anti-messiah.
A clear choice is presented: The simple life of peace—obedience to Yahuweh, resting in the goodness of Yahuweh--or chaos and destruction under the lies and deceptions of Lucifer. Yet, the greatest deception lies in the apparent goodness of Lucifer – the light bearer, the one who brought “gnosis” to us. Every human being has the same choice that Eve and Adam did in the garden. The lies of Lucifer in Genesis 3 are still given to each human being born into this world. The TV, the public school classroom, and all other public medias spew forth the religion of Lucifer, Humanism, and the denial of Yahuweh as Creator. The wise worship Him as Creator!
Adam and Eve literally threw away fellowship and friendship with the Creator, to embrace a life of lusting after what the world would offer them, to know what Elohim knows, and to have power over Him. Will you make the same choice?
The celebration of Hanukkah (the Feast of Dedication – John 10:22) has a hidden outcome that grew into a monster of deception. The victory of Hanukkah was a victor against the spirit of anti-messiah. Because Antiochus Ephiphanes demanded that the Jewish people embrace Greek culture and the worship of Greek gods, many Jews were afraid of the penalty of death for those who refused so they converted to Greek culture. They were “Hellenized”, or became Greek-like, and lost their connection to Yahuweh’s Covenant. Because Greece hated the Torah so much, it was outlawed. So the Hellenized Jews turned on those who still clung to the Torah of Yahuweh.
In the first century, after Messiah returned to heaven, the spread of the Good News of His death and resurrection for the salvation of the House of Ya’cob spread like wild fire. This caused great fear among the Hellenized Jews because this new “faith” included the guarding of Torah—the requirements for citizenship (Philippians 3:20-21) in the Kingdom of heaven.Not only was this message of the restoration of the Covenant spreading among Jews, but reaching out to the lost tribes of the House of Israel in the nations, beginning with those in Greece and Asia Minor.
So, these Hellenized Jews even tried to kill Sha’ul (Paul) to shut him up. They twisted his words and made him appear to be against the Torah. (Acts 9:28-29; II Peter 3:15-18). Yet, the Apostle Ya’cob, the brother of Yochanan (John the Apostle), knew that Sha’ul was Torah guarding – and says so: Acts 21:17-24; 24:14-15, etc.
Sha’ul mentions the “twelve tribes” in Acts 26:6-7. At that time, the Apostles knew where the twelve tribes went after Yahuweh scattered them in AMONG the gentiles.
Messiah instructed the Apostles: “Do not go into the way of the gentiles and do not enter a city of the Samaritans, but rather go to the lost sheep of the House of Israel (Ya’cob).
And as you go proclaim `The Kingdom of heaven has drawn near”. Even Sha’ul, who was supposedly the “Apostle to the gentiles”, strangely found them in synagogues studying Torah. He taught them on Shabbat. Read Acts!
Yahuweh never calls His people “gentiles”. He never made any covenant with “gentiles”. He says He will destroy all “gentiles”. The word “gentile” means: “heathen, barbarian, pagan--strangers, foreigners and aliens from the covenant of Yahuweh”. No one in Messiah is a gentile (Ephesians 2:8-19). He only made a covenant with the House of Ya’cob. Messiah came to renew the covenant and expand it into the realm of the heart, to be the final Lamb of Elohim for the salvation of His people. (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Matthew 26:28) The word, both in the Hebrew and the Greek, for “new” in these passages, is the same word used for the “new moon” each month – it means a renewal, to start afresh, to restore. The division between an “old covenant” vs. a “new covenant” is the creation of Rome. There is no division in Yahuweh’s mind: Malachi 3:6: “I am Yahuweh! I change not…”
Yahuweh is Light, and no darkness can come near Him. Therefore, He has to transform us by His Spirit (called “the new birth”) so that we might be “children of Light”. He cannot “love” the darkness of the world’s people. He loves His creation, but He has His rules and boundaries to which all mankind must adhere, or they cannot enter into His Presence. (Exodus 12:48-49; Isaiah 56:6-7; Ezekiel 47: 22-23 (future), Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) The Greek concept of unconditional love is NOT in the Word – for light cannot love darkness. Light by its nature has to destroy darkness in judgment.
All the twisting and deceptions of western religion have come down to us to turn us towards the world’s thinking, and to separate us from the marriage covenant that Yahuweh gave to His people at Mt. Sinai. He gave 613 instructions, most to priests, to rulers, to judges … and a few for each family. This is what Greece and Rome despise so much – the authority of Yahuweh to rule His people!!!!
Break free of the enslavement to man – and learn from His Spirit. He is the Teacher of His people! Embrace His ways, and turn from the lies and deceptions of man. The Word “religion” comes from the Roman expression “the regions of Rhea”. Rhea was the mother Zeus, the savior god of Greece, the Greek rendition of Nimrod and Osiris. Yahuweh and Messiah Yahushua Yahuweh are 100% outside of man’s religions. They are Persons, not a religion. Greece and Rome gave us concepts, philosophies, abstract ideas. Yahuweh gives us tangible reality. No one can ever know the Elohim of Israel inside religion. It is impossible.
They might have a sentimental concept of a God that suits them, but they can never understand the real nature, ways and thinking of the Elohim of Abraham, Yitzak, and Ya’cob from a Greco/Roman prospective.
So choose! -- the world, the flesh and the devil,or the inner circle of Yahuweh. The whole world now is turning against Yahuweh, against His good Torah, and against His people, and His Land, to give it to the Vatican and its creation, Islam – totally Roman demonic creations. If you love the Elohim of Israel there is a 99.9% chance that you are of the House of Ya’cob. Rejoice in your Elohim! He is the Victor!
May you find the true shalom (peace) of Abba Yahuweh, through the salvation of the Messiah of Israel.
