Jesus/Yahusa didn't come to abolish or do away with the Law. Listen to what He say's in Matthew 5. His words, not mine or your preacher's....
Christ Came to Fulfill the Law (But do the Law. As we all are to do.)
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5: 17-20 ESV

Imagine that it is the end times and that you are living in great darkness. The only light that you have to guide you is the Word hidden in your heart and that light (the living Word) gives you direction to lead you through the darkness. That word is the Law, the Torah, and the prophets, that tells you to keep the Sabbath because Elohim wants you to remember at the end of every week that you are alive that he created everything in the six-day creation story and called everything he created Good. Now imagine that everything that Elohim created is presented before you as a contradiction by Satan and the world and that contradiction is called evil. Now imagine that Elohim would declare that Adam and Eve would know both Good and Evil. If you are still with me you would be wide to realize that the parable of the virgins is about having his laws hidden in you as the candlestick of Rev chapter 1-3 because you bought his law as truth. His law is the light and we are to delight in it. Psalms Chapter 1. Proverbs chapter 3 We are to rest on the seventh day and remember his creation and share it with our family and friends and strangers in our gates Deut chapter 6:5-9 because Lucifer will provide a universe of lies to contradict everything God said was good. That darkness is the way of the antichrist and his ways are why he is called "The Lawless One."

I find that there are problems with the pre-trib rapture. Would we draw the same conclusions when we observe the days of Noah in the context of Mathew 24? Elohim did not remove Noah from the Earth. He provided him with a protective containment to endure the time of judgment. In Mathew 24 Christianity observes the two in the field, one taken and the other is left. Christianity adds the word "behind" to the context. When one is taken and the other is left, the wheat is taken and the chaff is immediately burned. Nothing is left behind to endure a longer time. Those taken are taken at the end not the beginning. Then Yahusha comes. The evil servant of Christ spoken of in Mathew 24 is one that believes that the end is not happening because he is still here even though he sees the tribulation happening around him. Christ says he comes at a time that the evil servant is not watching for because that evil servant is expecting to be taken before the wrath begins. He cannot survive the tribulation so he has to steal and kill because he does not believe he can call down manna from heaven nor take five loaves and two fish and feed thousands. He is evil because he as a Christian does not believe in the good of the creation story spoken of for the fulfillment of for each created day and he does not keep the Sabbath as a rehearsal so that he does not forget what God said was good.

When Noah was here he made a boat (Genesis Chpater 6, The book of Jasher, The book of Enoch). Some were taken in the boat and many were left. No one disappeared in thin air in the days of Noah BEFORE THE FLOOD and just as in the days of Noah, (NO ONE WILL DISAPEAR BEFORE THE GREAT TRIBULATION). Just as verse 39 happened, first “the flood came, and took them all away,” “THEN,” shall verse 40-41, “then, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” The context proves that the tribulation comes before the return of Christ and that the idea of the “Pre-Trib-Rapture” is not supported in this context. The only ones on the ark were the ones that had not corrupted themselves with the mixtures of man and beasts and species of the world. The only ones taken are those sheep that hear his voice and follow him. The only animals taken were the ones that had Gods breath of life in them. Noah endured to the end in the safety of Gods protection on Earth just as the few remaining believers of Christ’s Church must endure life on Earth trusting in God for their safety, food and continuous life during the “flood comparison” of the great tribulation spoken of in Mathew 24. Being “taken” or raptured, is the harvest where the wheat is separated from the chaff (in the wind). It does not say that those that are “left” must endure to the end because he is declaring that the end (verse 3) being referenced is happening at the point where he returns. (verse 42) Those that are “left” face the fire of destruction just as the chaff is burned. “There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.“ Isa_29:5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly. Mat_3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. “Mat 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” When Christ returns, he is not coming to take the western culture church body; he is coming for his bride that he went to prepare a place for as promised. His bride is and always has been Israel that Jesus came to when he came to his own and his own did not receive him. Those that are saved by grace that are not of Israeli blood line are grafted into that bride. Those grafted in that are not of Israeli decent are grafted in to Israel do not take the place of Israel, by becoming Christ’s new and separate bride. They are grafted into the same or original bride and become part of her as one body or one kind. The following verses are used by many churches to support the end of the grace periods’ “rapture” event. With that said, I sugest you go through each verse to reveal and comment on the context to see what the actual context is about. My questions for each verse are as follows: 1. Does the pre-trib-rapture event that the main stream church believes in give the church immunity from the tribulation period spoken of in Mathew Chapter 24? 2. Is this verse talking about a pre-trib-rapture event, the second coming or something else? 2 cor 5:10 John 14:3 Luke 10:20 Mark 13:32 Rev 3:10 Mat 24:30-31 Phil 3:20-21 Rom 8:18-19 Acts 1:7-8 Daniel 12:1-2 1Cor 15:51-53 1Thes 4:16-18 Luke17:34-37 Mark 13:24-27 Rev 20:2-5 Rev 11:15-19

The question has been asked, can we lose our salvation? Interesting that we tend to call it "our salvation" David said, "restore unto me the joy of thy salvation." Psalm 51:12. The truth is that salvation is not in our hands to lose because if it were, we would lose it. We do our part when we bring our nasty sinful heart to him to be cleaned and he cleanses us from all unrighteousness setting us into rebirth with a new life as we hear his voice and follow him. Yahshua said that his sheep hear his voice and follow him and when they do they are in his hands and no man can pluck them out. He then doubled down by saying that he is in his father’s hands and no man is able to pluck them out. No man includes me as I evaluate my abilities to pluck myself out of his hand. I can’t do it because he declared that he is the one doing the holding. He holds us, we do not hold him. We hear his voice and follow him. John 10:27-30 Once we follow him we can not unfollow him because we can not undo what we have done. Nick said it best when he tried to visualize going back into his mother’s womb and being reborn. Christ said you must be born again, not again and again and again. First by water of your mother and then by your spirit as you hear his voice and follow him. We may at times fall away in foolishness but we are never out of his hand. Perhaps you think that you lost it. It was never yours to lose. Psa 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

For many, “Easter” is on the horizon and ham is the choice meal.

Should we as bible believing Christians, eat ham? Consider the following:

Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1Ti 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

In 1 Tim chapter 4:3 The foods that are being referenced are the ones that split the hove and chew the cud because the law of Moses clearly states that unclean beasts are not to be considered as food. We are not to abstain from eating cow; sheep etc… because they are what we are told in the Law of Moses that we can eat as food or are as Paul said, “of God.” The problem in our culture is that we have embraced the idea that Pigs are food even though God forbade eating them in the Law of Moses.
Deu 14:8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.

We have this phrase “unclean beast” and we do not know what to do with it because we do not know what it means nor why God would make an unclean beast. Why is a pig unclean? A better question might be, why did God make unclean beasts? We can go down the rabbit hole further when we ask the question, why did God allow unclean beasts on Noah’s Ark if he was cleansing the world of sin and everything bad?

Gen 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

Once we understand why a beast is declared unclean in the scriptures, things then become clear as to why we are told not to eat them.
As an example, Shellfish are unclean in the scripture.

Lev 11:10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
Lev 11:11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

Understand this, shellfish are bottom feeders and they eat the muck that other creatures poop or waste. If you put a bunch of clams in a dirty water in a glass fish tank, they will clean the water and the glass and water will become clear. They are the dirt and disease filters that God made to clean the waste products of other creatures. By design, they clean or filter the worlds waste.

Pigs are the same way. The prodigal son of Luke 15:11-32, came to himself when he was willing to eat the same meal that was set for the swine that he was feeding. So he set off and returned to his fathers house, willing to be a hired servant of his father and eat the food of his father’s servants. We should note that he did not even consider eating the pigs he was feeding in the story that Christ told about him. Remember 1 Timothy 4:3 talks about the teaching of abstaining from Meats as a doctrine of devils. Christ didn’t say the pigs looked good to eat, he said the food they were being fed looked good to the young man. Pigs eat just about anything that the rest of the farm has as waste. They are cleaners or filters by design and are therefore unclean. This is paramount to understand about unclean beasts; God said they shall be unclean to YOU in the context of food. He was not saying they are filthy sin filled beasts, he was saying they are unclean to you as food.

We all really need to get this point, as stated above, in the Law of Moses God told Israel not to eat swine nor to touch a dead pig carcase. God told Adam that he was not to eat the forbidden fruit, but he did not say anything to Adam about touching it. This is where the Word of God started to get misrepresented by Eve. It was Eve that said to the serpent that they could not touch it. She ADDED to the word of God, a phrase that God did not say to Adam. She said they could not touch it or they would die. Eve was not yet created when God gave the food instructions to Adam. She was the first creation to represent the Word of God and she botched it. According to the Apostle Paul, this is why women are forbidden to speak with authority in the church.

1Ti 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
1Ti 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
1Ti 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
1Ti 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
*** 1Co 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
1Co 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
1Co 14:35 And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

God did not say a living pig could not be touched nor kept as an important part of his creations and God did not say to Adam that he could not touch the forbidden fruit.

As soon as we make the leap that swine, shell fish etc… was all inclusive when Paul was talking about ALL creatures of God are good for food we miss the mark and we embrace the idea that God altered the purpose for unclean beasts. Christ died for the sins of the world to clean man of his sin. Christ did not die to clean the unclean beasts that God made to clean up the waste products of the world. If all creatures were including unclean beasts the Prodigal son could have had ham and the story might have ended differently.

I know that many of my bible believing friends are locked and loaded and ready to say that the law of Moses no longer applies because Christ fulfilled the law and it is not longer in affect and therefore we can eat everything God made.
Friend, If that is true and you believe the law of Moses is no longer in affect I will ask you to consider the following:

I am going to make the assumption that if you made it this far in my composition that you have a least a basic bible understanding and know that in the end times during the great tribulation of our future the antichrist will desecrate the alter by slaying a pig on it in the new Temple in the holy city of Jerusalem.

So I will ask you, If the Law of Moses is no longer in affect because you believe Christ said we can now eat pigs (swine) and defy the law of Moses, why would it be a prophesy of blasphemy “Daniel Chapter 9 and 11” for the antichrist to kill an unclean beast (a pig) on the alter in the NEW SOLOMONS TEMPLE in Jerusalem?

Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

*** Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Dan 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Dan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Dan 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

The pig is either, clean because of Christ, and no longer subject to the Law of Moses or it is not clean and that act would be a defilement of the alter.

The truth is that Christ fulfilled the law he did not do away with it. We are to love the Law and Keep it and delight in it.
Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Psa 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Psa 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

With respect to your upcoming holiday meal, the fall of man in the creation story was handled over food instruction.

You should read that again.

Shouldn’t we take heed to ALL of God’s food instructions, especially on a day where specific food instruction are given for that day? The Passover meal is the celebration meal that Christ was eating on the evening that Moses broke bread and ate bitter herbs before leading the children of Israel out of bondage.

The children of Israel ate lamb and God told them to put the lambs blood on their door post and if the door was marked with the lambs blood the angel of death would PASSOVER them.
This is the meal that Christ ate with his disciples. He also broke bread with them. Please get this point; Adam was driven out of Eden and an angel was placed at the gate to keep him from entering and EATING from the Tree of Life. God specifically said that he would no longer have that fruit as an option and he said that man would instead Eat BREAD.

Gen 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Gen 3:18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; Gen 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

When God told Moses to annually practice what meal to prepare and rehearse every year after the Exodus from Egypt, he had the children of Israel remove the leaven out of their homes and they had unleavened bread as part of the Passover meal and the days of unleavened bread would follow as a rehearsal.

Food preparations, food instruction are given throughout scripture as a practice or rehearsal for the end time’s believer.

Do you know how God will feed the people that follow him during the great Tribulation? Are you prepared for the Great Tribulation? Have you been rehearsing his instructions or are you following the will of the Lawless one?

Once I embraced that the Earth is contained within a snow globe as defined in the Genesis creation story, the presence of God over everything contained within and without became a fearful and sobering understanding.

70 X 7 = Forgiveness
Mathew 18:21-22 

We are all lead to believe that we can make the world a better place. It never becomes one because we all define a better place differently. I am sure that my definition of a decent human being is different than most. The bible says that charity suffers long and is kind. It does not want for itself. I think about this passage a lot because we are encouraged to be charitable to others but then we can become furious with the ones we are attempting to be kind to because they are ungrateful or misuse our very real sacrifice. Then God reminds us that we do the same thing with God's goodness toward us. Shaming people does not lead them to turn away from wickedness. The goodness of God leads us to repentance. When we are good to undeserving people they see God's goodness because that goodness is an unnatural response to their wickedness.

While the birth of Christ is a cause for celebration it is also a cause for mourning because the news of his birth made the king in Israel order that all the male children 2 years and younger be killed in Bethlehem and the surrounding areas.

In the days we live in we have even more reasons to draw closer to God. Everything in scripture is a rehearsal for the Day of the Lord or the revealing of Jesus the Christ. (The Book of Revelation) We are to keep the law that God downloaded to Moses as part of that rehearsal. The keeping of the Sabbath or the 7th Day with rest is a reminder that God made the Heavens and the Earth in the 6 day creation and set an order to everything including the animals that have his breath of life in them so that when we face the lies spun against everything he said was GOOD after every created Day we are well rehearsed in his truth and will not be deceived by everything that is EVIL that takes place before his revealing. It is time to turn to God because the great Tribulation is upon us and the church has been fooled into thinking that they will be taken before it begins. The wheat is separated from the chaff and the chaff is burned. No one is left behind. The word “behind” has been added to the narrative and give the false notion that a continual period exists for those that are left. The two in the field and the one is taken and the other is left. No one was left “behind” to survive in the Days of Noah. The people immediately drown when the windows of Heaven opened up and the floods came.. Just as in the Days of Noah so is the coming of the Son of Man.
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Mat 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Mat 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

His brothers mocked him and discouraged him saying he is just a curious boy that wants to see the battle and the Giant is too big and strong. They warned him that no one has tried to go against the giant but everyone has instead trembled in fear.
Like the army of Israel, you are in the battle every day. You see how big the giant is to overcome and you are exhausted with the battle plan you have been following. You are constantly reminded by the giant and everyone that supports him that you cannot defeat it. A brother comes along and presents the will and a plan to defeat the giant in the name of Jehovah and your counsel to him is to discourage him by defining the size and abilities of the giant. You make no reference to trusting Jehovah and you speak of yourself and others that have made efforts to overcome the giant but instead you exclaim that you retreated in fear.
This is what happened with the boy David when he was sent by his father to the battle to bring his older brothers food.
Can you see it?
Have you given reasons to others to quit, to give up, to refuse the fight? Have you looked at someone and declared them to insignificant to achieve the goal you yourself tried but cannot accomplish?
David’s brothers had all the tools and Jehovah on their side and yet they looked at the giant and trembled in fear. They brought David before the king and David again proclaimed that he would defeat the giant. David said that he defended his father’s flock of sheep against a lion and a bear. So the king forced his armor on David. It was way too big and David removed it.
David said, Jehovah delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. Saul said to David, Go, and Jehovah be with you.
Everyone came to the battle with conventional weapons.
David did what no one expected. He took up five smooth stones and a sling and then ran toward the Giant.
The giant saw the little boy coming and mocked him and Jehovah.
Can you see it? Have you ever run toward a problem that was so big that any reasonable person would assume that you are insane?
David put his hand in his bag, and took out a stone, and slang it, and it struck the Philistine in his forehead and the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell on his face to the ground.
Then David ran, and stood on the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath, and cut off his head. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
We need a David to come along and remind us that Jehovah is on the throne of our lives and we need to use tools that the enemy is not expecting.
Most of all we need to proclaim that Jehovah goes before us against our enemy, the giant.
When we kill the giant the ones that have promoted him and supported him will flee.

1Sa 17:1 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.
1Sa 17:2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
1Sa 17:3 And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
1Sa 17:4 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
1Sa 17:5 And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
1Sa 17:6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.
1Sa 17:7 And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.
1Sa 17:8 And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
1Sa 17:9 If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.
1Sa 17:10 And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
1Sa 17:11 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
1Sa 17:12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul.
1Sa 17:13 And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
1Sa 17:14 And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.
1Sa 17:15 But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
1Sa 17:16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
1Sa 17:17 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren;
1Sa 17:18 And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
1Sa 17:19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
1Sa 17:20 And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.
1Sa 17:21 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.
1Sa 17:22 And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren.
1Sa 17:23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them.
1Sa 17:24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
1Sa 17:25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.
1Sa 17:26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncir--Donkey--cised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
1Sa 17:27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
1Sa 17:28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
1Sa 17:29 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
1Sa 17:30 And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
1Sa 17:31 And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.
1Sa 17:32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
1Sa 17:33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
1Sa 17:34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
1Sa 17:35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
1Sa 17:36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncir--Donkey--cised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
1Sa 17:37 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.
1Sa 17:38 And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
1Sa 17:39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
1Sa 17:40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
1Sa 17:41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.
1Sa 17:42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.
1Sa 17:43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
1Sa 17:44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
1Sa 17:45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
1Sa 17:46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
1Sa 17:47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands.
1Sa 17:48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
1Sa 17:49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
1Sa 17:50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
1Sa 17:51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
1Sa 17:52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
1Sa 17:53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.
1Sa 17:54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
1Sa 17:55 And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.
1Sa 17:56 And the king said, Enquire thou whose son the stripling is.
1Sa 17:57 And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
1Sa 17:58 And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.

The Last Trump

You boldly proclaim that you are waiting for the sound of the last trumpet because you believe the sounding of the last trumpet is the announcement of the pre-tribulation Rapture.

1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Okay, so if that is the last trumpet when is the first Trumpet sounded?

Rev 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Many believe Rev 4:1 is the rapture event. The common belief is that the voice John heard is the trumpet that is spoken of in 1 Cor 15:52. Which would make “coming up” into the pre-tribulation rapture. All because he heard a voice saying, “Come up hither,” and doing so right before all the bad stuff happens in most of the chapters that follow. This event that John participates in cannot be the rapture however because as stated, the first voice he heard is as a trumpet. As soon as Christianity assigned the Rapture to John saying, “Come up hither” they botched the event with the contradiction between the sound of the first trump and the sound of the last trump. The two verses cannot contradict each other in order to keep the claim of Rev 4:1 as being the rapture event for the living believer and the dead in Christ. Simply put, the first trumpet sound of the revelation cannot be the last trumpet sound when seven more trumpets are yet to sound for the 7 trumpet judgments’ of Rev chapters 8-11.

1 Cor 15:52 says that the grand event will be at the sound of the last trump. So when is the last Trumpet sounded or perhaps the last voice as a trumpet heard in scripture? Let’s back up for a minute. What exactly is a trumpet in scripture and when were the Israelites told to blow them? Is there some kind of significance to the sound of a trumpet? Why do we assume that the last trump is blown from Heaven by an angel? Could it be that the last Trump is actually blown by one of us among the living during the Feast of Trumpets or some other assigned time when a trumpet is required to be blown according to Moses and the Prophets?

As stated, we also have the 7 trumpet judgments to consider. None of them from the first to the last alludes to the event where the dead in Christ rise and then the living Join Christ in the air. What I believe has transpired is that Christianity wants desperately to believe that it will not participate in the great tribulation, that it has grasped at straws by assigning Rev 4:1 as the only place in Revelation where the church can be removed before the bad stuff unfolds. They even go as far as stating that the churches are not mentioned in Rev anywhere after chapter 3.

Friend, John was told to write EVERYTHING in Revelation to the seven churches. I am not denying that the rapture will happen, I am just saying that I no longer believe it will happen before the Tribulation period begins.

The five foolish virgins are believers in his coming. With that said, please consider the following question:
Who is left outside the gates of the Holy city, New Jerusalem, or the KINGDOM of Heaven?
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. ~ Rev 22:15
How can John proclaim that murders, etc., are outside of the gates of the holy city?
"The Great Tribulation" comes before the Holy Kingdom arrives.
Do you find yourself saying, “I will read the bible when that time comes and I will learn what to do to survive because I will know that the great tribulation is happening?” I find that many have this same mindset.
I will learn “on the go.”
We fail to heed the warning of Christ when he spoke of the 10 virgins. Five were wise and had oil in their lamps and five were foolish and had no oil. Every one of them knows the groom is on his way. When he was about to arrive at the gate the five wise virgins lit their oil lamps and ran through the darkness to meet the groom. The five foolish virgins begged the five wise virgins to share their oil but they replied to them, “If I do, I will not have enough for the journey to the gate. Go and buy your own oil.” The five foolish did not have the necessary oil to make the journey through the darkness (The Great Tribulation). Once they finally learned what they needed to know, once they finally bought the truth, they made it to the gate but the gate was now closed. Friend, this is where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Not by those who rejected Christ but by those who knew him and refused to do what he said to do to have oil in their lamps. These saved eternal believers banged on the door of the kingdom but the groom said to them, I never knew you. Can you imagine knowing and believing he is coming and not preparing properly for his arrival? You will weep and grind your own teeth because you find yourself outside the kingdom walls in darkness and shut out of the light of the Holy Kingdom forever. This outer darkness is where the SAVED that continued to disobey his commandments and remained murderers and thieves and whoremongers will spend eternity because they did not follow his “commandments.” Friend, your obedience to rehearse his commandments is the oil in your lamp that lights your way through the great tribulation. His commandments are the Torah or the first five books of the bible that show you the way or path to safety that Elohim (God) provided to the characters of each story. They include but are not limited to remembering his six-day creation and everything that he said was good and keeping the Sabbath and his feast days and Rehearsing all of them just like he said to do them in the Torah. This oil in your lamp is the way to safety for those saved wise virgins who want to hear and rehearse his way to safely make it to the gate upon his arrival.
Friend, I get it, you are saved by grace and so am I. However, being saved alone is not the instruction on how to live the rest of your life. Elohim gave rehearsal instructions that Israel was to follow FOREVER. If you are saved by grace and not of Israeli heritage by birth, then you are grafted into their covenant when you got saved. You must do what Elohim (God) said they must do forever.
Do you want to spend eternity outside the gate or inside where there are all the blessings foretold in the scriptures?
Mat 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Mat 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Mat 25:3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Mat 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Mat 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Mat 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Mat 25:7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
Mat 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
Mat 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
Mat 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Mat 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Mat 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Mat 25:13 Watch, therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Rev 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Rev 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Daniel disobeyed the Government when he prayed in his window.

The church was misled into believing that they must obey the government because Yahshua said "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's," when he was challenged about paying tribute to Caesar by the religious right.

The church overlooked the fact that the ones that challenged him with the question about paying tribute were the religious law-enforcing Sadducees and they were trying to trip Yahshua into sin. Yahshua, knowing the evil in their hearts asked, “Whose IMAGE is on the coin?” They responded, "Caesar." These LAW-abiding Sadducees knew full well that any graven image is idolatry. Moses made it very clear not to make nor serve any likeness of anything on Earth, in Heaven, or in the Water as stated in the Book of Exodus Chapter 20.

Their challenge was an attempt to trap Yahshua into agreement with idolatry because they had to use the government money to pay tribute. His response to them was, "It has Caesars' Image on it so feel free to give it to him, but DON'T GIVE IT TO GOD!" Give only to God the things that God said in the Torah to give to him. Christ’s answer was not to say it was okay to obey the Government or to pay taxes. He was answering against the EVIL challenge of complying with Idolatry clearly saying don't give your idols to God. With that said we should be concerned with whose image is on the money you give at church. This is food for thought when we remember Yahuah’s commandment not to bring other gods before him.

Ref:
Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exo 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Mar 12:13  And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. 
Mar 12:14  And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? 
Mar 12:15  Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. 
Mar 12:16  And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. 
Mar 12:17  And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. 

Yeshua describes the sinner as his sheep that has gone astray. You wander through life and HE SEEKS YOU OUT! He left the flock behind and he searches for you and finds you where you are. He has great joy within himself because you were lost and He searched for you and found you. He doesn’t let you return on your own power, instead he picks you up and carries you with your legs around his neck. He returns and gathers his friends and neighbors and announces to them the great news that you were found! Everyone CHEERS!

Luk 15:1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
Luk 15:2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
Luk 15:3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
Luk 15:4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
Luk 15:5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Luk 15:6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
Luk 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Are you lost today?
Has your sin taken you to a place where you are alone, helpless and vulnerable?
In another scripture Yeshua said, “My sheep hear my voice and follow me.”
Joh_10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Can you see the whole host of heaven waiting and getting excited as they see you recognizing that you need to turn away from everything that lead you away from his flock.

What does it mean to repent? It means to turn back to his law, The Torah and delight in it. Read that again.

Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Psa 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Psa 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psa 1:4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Psa 1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
Psa 1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
He is walking through the wilderness that you wandered into and he is calling out for you. Do you hear his voice?
When his sheep hear his voice they follow him?
Pro 3:1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
Pro 3:2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
Pro 3:3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
Pro 3:4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Pro 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Pro 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
Pro 3:8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
Pro 3:9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
Pro 3:10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
Pro 3:11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
Pro 3:12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

I can see the host of heaven like a crowd in a foot ball stadium watching you and you can feel the excitement as they see your eyes opening up and you hearing his voice.
He finds you where you are and you hear his voice and run to him. The crowd goes wild with a roar of excitement as they see that you are found!
He is speaking to you. You are in great darkness. Run to his voice and jump into his arms and let him carry you home. The host of heaven is watching!
~ Amen

In the days we live in we have even more reasons to draw closer to God. Everything in scripture is a rehearsal for the Day of the Lord or the revealing of Jesus the Christ. (The Book of Revelation) We are to keep the law that God downloaded to Moses as part of that rehearsal. The keeping of the Sabbath or the 7th Day with rest is a reminder that God made the Heavens and the Earth in the 6 day creation and set an order to everything including the animals that have his breath of life in them so that when we face the lies spun against everything he said was GOOD after every created Day we are well rehearsed in his truth and will not be deceived by everything that is EVIL that takes place before his revealing. It is time to turn to God because the great Tribulation is upon us and the church has been fooled into thinking that they will be taken before it begins. The wheat is separated from the chaff and the chaff is burned. No one is left behind. The word “behind” has been added to the narrative and give the false notion that a continual period exists for those that are left. The two in the field and the one is taken and the other is left. No one was left “behind” to survive in the Days of Noah. The people immediately drown when the windows of Heaven opened up and the floods came.. Just as in the Days of Noah so is the coming of the Son of Man.
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Mat 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Mat 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
