What does Elohim desire concerning humanity?

If people would listen…God is pleading with them for their love in a healthy and loving relationship with Him where their heart is His and His peace through the Holy Spirit is theirs and goodness and joy flows through those who love Him in the Son, Jesus Christ, who made relationship with the Father possible through reconciliation at the Cross (John 3). Elohim is in the process of righting a wrong that manifest in His Kingdom before Time began and Elohim has ordained the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the battle strategy, the methodology, by which He has defeated the works of the Devil (2 Timothy 1:9-10; 1 John 3:8b). Elohim chose human flesh, bone, blood, through which He would restore peace to His Kingdom through selfless love yet mankind steadfastly insists that his own self-righteousness has a relevant role to play in God’s eschatological plan.

Why must man insist that knowing God is riddled with rules, regulations, customs, traditions, religions, strife, heritage…when knowing God is knowing peace through simple faith and trust in what God has done for us as He first loved us and gave Himself for us so that we could be His children, forever? Concerning Elohim, it’s all about RELATIONSHIP through faith and love…not LAW, not self-righteousness, not work and striving after that which is not attainable through human effort.

Elohim is victorious through the faithfulness of those who love Him and trust in Him in Jesus Christ our Lord, God, Creator, Warrior. We are victors with our God when we come along side Him and love Him, trust Him, honor Him with faith and obedience to His Holy Spirit who guides the faithful in sanctification as the Spirit prepares the faithful for eternal service in the New Jerusalem.

The Law Covenant – Israel’s deadly error – Elohim’s displeasure – the KEY to Elohim’s heart…

The “moral law” that governs behavior, thoughts, attitudes, of the created concerning our Creator has been extant from the creation of the angels as that moral law is an arbiter of free will by necessity. God’s moral law is infused within every human creation at conception and is governed by the conscience (Romans 2:14-15).

Our Creator, Elohim, has ordained that those created beings created in His spiritual image possessing certain communicable attributes particular to God Himself possess free will in order that love and relationship with our Creator can manifest with purity and authenticity. True love cannot be predestined, coerced, mandated, manipulated…true love must be a matter of the heart with volition and purity under girded by trust.

The moral law that governs the behavior of the angelic creation and the human creation is rooted in God’s holiness and purity and the moral law acts as a bulwark against unrestrained narcissism thereby preventing societal implosion and that same moral law, governed by the conscience (Romans 2:14-15), is, by necessity, the vehicle by which God’s justice through due process will manifest at the Great Judgment of the Condemned (Rev 20:11-15).

Concerning Israel’s error and arrogance,

Israel’s children dedicate themselves to a false sense of security in their Law Covenant believing that what they worship and serve through self-righteousness is KEY to God’s heart and that the Law of Works they worship in place of faith is unique and given them specifically – this is the Jewish error and causation concerning why an overwhelming number of Israel’s children will perish in Hell in the “second death” (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27; Luke 13:28).

The Moral Law and the Decalogue/Commandments…

Nine of the Ten Commandments are moral laws, they are NOTHING new or novel but simply a reiteration of the moral law extant from the creation of the angels yet the Decalogue does articulate with specificity certain sins especially abhorrent to Elohim and attention to same was necessary as the laws codified in stone were essential in separating Israel from the paganism that surrounded them as God would use Israel’s children for His eschatological purposes through whom Elohim would enter Time and physics through flesh and bone and blood to destroy the works of His nemesis via selfless love (John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1; Philippians 2; 1 John 3:8b; Genesis 3:15-21).

Law v. Faith (what pleases Elohim?)

The moral law judged Satan (John 16:11), the fallen angels; that same moral law of conscience judged the Adamic and Noahic generations of defilement, sins that grieved the heart of Elohim (Genesis 6) and ultimately judged these generations by water where all perished save eight, yet Israel’s children consider their Law unique and have placed their Law and a facade of obedience to same as an eternal priority when the Law is NOT key to Elohim’s heart but Elohim is pleased with “faith” by the one who believes Him and trusts in Him fully (Hebrews 11:6).

Law does not please Elohim; Faith pleases Elohim as that FAITH engenders behaviors that please Elohim because those behaviors manifest from love not enslavement to letters because love saves the soul and letters condemn the soul to death (2 Corinthians 3:6). Israel’s children, those involved in religions, cults, sects, are dying in sin en mass in arrogance and self-righteousness.

My Lord has put me here to express His disdain for Israel’s self-righteousness and maddening arrogance as they have become servants of Elohim’s virulent enemy, Satan (Romans 10:1-4). The KEY to Elohim’s heart is to believe with faith in the One He has sent into the World to provide blood atonement for your sin, Jesus Christ our Lord (John 6:29). This pleases Elohim.

The Law – Israel’s children – Eternity

Sin is a violation of God’s moral law which has been extant from the creation of the angels as an arbiter of free will. You think you have righteousness with God through the Law Covenant when in reality the Law Covenant, the Decalogue, is nothing new or novel but simply a reiteration of the moral law extant from eternity past (Romans 2:14-15) with some specificity (sins especially abhorrent to God) for Israel as they were set-apart for God’s eschatological purposes while surrounded by pagan tribes serving pagan gods.

The Law has already condemned you to death in your sin and this void atonement. The Law mandates absolute perfection (James 2:10) but you’re a sinner condemned by the Law (Romans 3:20-23) and you live under a curse (Galatians 3:10) because you seek righteousness through that which only provides condemnation by defining your sin void atonement. Only Yeshua provides necessary “righteousness” as He earned that righteousness for you through His sinless perfection and making blood atonement for your sin at Golgotha and only by trusting-believing in Yeshua as your Messiah who died for you will you receive the righteousness of Yeshua imputed into your life and receive the benefits of forgiveness of sin and a right standing with the Father i.e. eternal life (John 3; Matthew 26:28; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

Clarifying James’ admonition: Faith without works is dead… (James 2:26)

My point is this…it matters NOT how you work, strive, endeavor, to please God the Father through your human efforts UNTIL you have FIRST established covenant relationship with Him by complying with HIS WILL (John 6:29); that is, “believing in the One He has sent” into the World to make atonement for your sin.

Until such time you have FIRST established covenant relationship with the Father by grace (unmerited favor – a gift you cannot earn through human effort) through faith (trusting-believing) in Jesus Christ as your Lord, your works of goodness and righteousness are of NO ACCOUNT as they’re equated to a putrid, bloody, cloth in God’s nose (Isaiah 64:6 – menstrual cloth in Hebrew).

The confusion lies in cults, religions, sects, Hebrew Roots fanaticism, Sabbatarianism, Judaism, Islam, Catholicism, believing that our behavior, our self-righteousness, pleases God and that we can earn His forgiveness by what we do…this is a lie of Satan and the Jewish error that culminates in the death of mind, body, soul, in Hell.

Jesus warned,

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Matthew 7

What is the will of God for your life?

Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” John 6:29

Your works of righteousness will NOT be relevant concerning your eternal destiny, forgiveness of sin, until you have first surrendered your will for God’s will in Jesus Christ through faith in Jesus as Lord and having received the indwelling Holy Spirit as the Guarantor of that covenant relationship (Ephesians 1:13-14); then…and only then…do your works of righteousness performed IN and BY the indwelling Holy Spirit honor God the Father as these good works serve to validate the authenticity of your faith in Jesus as your Lord, Messiah.

Jesus said,

20 So then, you will know them by their fruits. Matthew 7

Therefore, please don’t compromise the necessity of faith in Jesus FIRST with works of self-righteousness as a path to righteousness (a right standing) with the Father as only the righteousness of Jesus imputed into your life by faith in Jesus as your Lord is acceptable to the Father concerning your eternal destiny and relationship with Him, forever (2 Corinthians 5:21). Grace-Faith-FIRST – then – works of righteousness, obedience, will naturally follow as the Holy Spirit walks you daily in sanctification in accordance with God’s will for your life in preparation for service in the New Jerusalem.

How do we establish or uphold the Law through our faith in Jesus Christ?

“Do we then nullify the Law through faith? Far from it! On the contrary, we establish the Law.” Romans 3:31 (NASB)

The Law is “established” through faith as faith reveals the futility of attempting to keep the Law in order to attain righteousness (a right standing) with God through its observance as we’re all sinners (Romans 3:23) and the Law mandates absolute perfection (James 2:10) if one is to attain righteousness through keeping it; therefore, the one who seeks relationship with God through law-keeping is cursed (Galatians 3:10) and only by faith in Jesus and the righteousness He earned for us at Golgotha by keeping the Law in perfection for us can we receive the imputation of Jesus’ righteousness into and over our life and be declared “not guilty” by the Father and receive the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of that covenant relationship, forever (2 Corinthians 5:21: Ephesians 1:13-14; John 3).

The Law only defines our sin, our culpability before God, but the Law provides no atonement (Romans 3:20) as the Law establishes our need for an Intercessor and Redeemer by faith (Galatians 2:16).

Why don’t Christians care about Yahweh’s holy anointed days as per Leviticus 23?

It’s not that Christians “don’t care”…but that these ceremonial laws were an edict given the Hebrew Tribes concerning a special dispensation targeting Israel, alone, (those under the Covenant of Law) as Israel was set-apart for God’s eschatological purposes through whom He would introduce His Messiah to the World.

When Messiah entered the Realm of Time, those ceremonial, civil, laws were fulfilled in Jesus as they only “foreshadowed” the reality of Him who was to come (Colossians 2:16). Why would you expect a Christian, who serves the Fulfillment of what the Law foreshadowed, to honor that which is past when the Fulfillment of same has come and His Spirit lives within our heart? Why serve an image when the Reality lives within us? We see those edicts, we understand their importance and relevance but they have ZERO relevance for our lives in the New Covenant as the tangible fulfillment and the reality of what those traditions foreshadowed has come i.e. Jesus Christ as Lord.

As a Christian, I’m free to honor the feast days and the Sabbath if I so choose understanding their intent but I don’t obsess over days, laws, feasts, because I possess the Holy Spirit and Jesus is my Lord…those things of the past are irrelevant to my daily walk with my Lord as the New has come and I have peace with God through faith in Jesus who is the fulfillment of all the Torah, the prophets, proclaimed and pictured (Romans 5:1).

It is written concerning this matter,

3 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you? 2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all people, 3 revealing yourselves, that you are a letter of Christ, [a]delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of [b]human hearts.

4 Such is the confidence we have toward God through Christ. 5 Not that we are adequate in ourselves so as to consider anything as having come from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, 6 who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7 But if the ministry of death, engraved in letters on stones, came [c]with glory so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness excel in glory. 10 For indeed what had glory in this case has no glory, because of the glory that surpasses it. 11 For if that which fades away was [d]with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

12 Therefore, having such a hope, we use great boldness in our speech, 13 and we are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not stare at the end of what was fading away. 14 But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil [e]remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ. 15 But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts; 16 but whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 But we all, with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3 (NASB)

The Confusion that Damns the Soul to Hell; Works v Faith to establish covenant relationship with God the Father…

Belief (faith-trust) and “obedience” (good works – self righteousness) are two-separate entities concerning one’s righteousness (a right standing) with God the Father relevant to the forgiveness of sin and eternal life in the New Covenant.

Prior to establishing covenant relationship with the Father by faith, alone, in Jesus, alone, your works of “obedience,” on your very best day, are equated to a filthy garment e.g. a bloody menstrual cloth in God’s nose (Isaiah 64:6; Ephesians 2:8-9).

It’s not until such time you have established covenant relationship with the Father by faith/belief – alone – in Jesus – alone – (John 3) and subsequently having received the indwelling Holy Spirit as your Guarantor of that covenant relationship (Ephesians 1:13-14) that your “works of obedience” to the Holy Spirit through sanctification actually honor the Father and these good works then validate the authenticity of your faith as a “new creation” in Jesus (Galatians 5:16; 2 Corinthians 5:17).

You can work your fingers to the bone in good works of obedience as a “natural” man (1 Corinthians 2:14), but until such time you have FIRST established covenant relationship with the Father by faith in Jesus, you’re kicking against the goads and your service is of no account because you’re NOT God’s child…you are a foreigner and alienated to the promises of God that are ONLY realized by faith in Jesus as your Lord believing that Jesus died for you as this is the Father’s will for your life (John 6:29).

Jesus said that those who love HIM will keep HIS Commandments (John 14:15) – note that it is the one who “loves” Jesus having placed their faith in Him as Lord that possesses the anointing, the power and will to seek obedience to those commands as they’re in covenant relationship with the Father by faith and they are indeed a “new creation” through the work of the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 5:17; John 14:16; Galatians 5:16; Ephesians 1:13-14).

A warning to the self-righteous,

If you seek relationship with God the Father through your own efforts void faith in the One, Jesus Christ, who did the work for you at Golgotha, you will die in your sin and perish in the “second death” in Perdition (John 8:24; John 14:6; Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16; Romans 3:20).

Why do the children of Jacob continue to boast in their heritage and blaspheme Yeshua as irrelevant?

Jesus did indeed go to the lost sheep of Israel (Matthew 15:24) but Israel’s children rejected Jesus; Israel’s children rejected the Gospel message of the New Covenant established in Jesus’ blood (Matthew 26:28); Israel’s children falsely accused Jesus of blasphemy and conspired with the Roman authorities to murder Jesus upon a tree; Israel’s children demanded that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25). To this very day, an overwhelming number of Israel’s children live and perish in rebellion to God’s will in Jesus Christ (John 6:29).

Israel’s mission by covenant promise (Genesis 12:3) was to be “a blessing to every family of the Earth” through Messiah as Israel would take the New Covenant message of grace through faith concerning sin and forgiveness to all Nations of the Earth via the Great Commission (Matthew 28); but again, Israel failed God and rejected His message, His written word and His Living Word, Jesus Christ; therefore, the New Covenant, the Gospel, was given to the Gentiles (Romans 11) and though God will be faithful to His covenant promise concerning Israel and a “remnant” of Israel will be saved in the last days (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27), your Jewishness, your affiliation with Jacob, will NOT save you from the “second death” in Perdition; you must be “born again” by faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord believing that Jesus died for you to pay your sin-debt or you will not partake of the Heavenly Gift and the promises of God available only by faith in Jesus Christ as Lord (John 3; John 14:6).

The “heathen” have inherited by faith; the Jew and Israelite have inherited hopelessness due to self-righteousness through Law while rejecting the righteousness of Yeshua by faith.

Does Revelation 21 suggest that the impure, the sinner, workers of iniquity, will be present on the New Earth within the New Jerusalem?

It is written,

24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life. Revelation 21:24-27 (KJV)

Some suggest that the sinful, those who reject Jesus Christ as Mediator for their sin, will escape the final judgment of Revelation 20:11-15 and enter the New Heaven and New Earth and that sin and iniquity will be present there. Is this correct?

The Holy Spirit does not say that iniquity exists in the Kingdom of God but that the potential exists for iniquity due to free will which is extant by necessity. There will be nothing impure allowed to enter the Kingdom of God as God will NOT allow evil to exist in His presence due to His absolute holiness and due to the destruction that is inextricably linked to disobedience/sin. All impurity has been cleansed by fire (2 Peter 3:10) the dross of impurity removed (Revelation 20:10-15). The passage never says that there is iniquity present in the Kingdom of God but that same will never enter the Kingdom though we know that iniquity was once present and it was extricated and dealt with here on Earth through the Gospel by Jesus Christ at Golgotha (Luke 10:18; 1 John 3:8b).

Free will remains extant in the Kingdom by necessity and our existence in Time, the tangible observation, the experiential relevance, of unfathomable horror and suffering resulting from iniquity acts as a bulwark against future rebellion. Will the possibility of rebellion and sin be present in the New Jerusalem? Of course, as the angels and the redeemed possess free will but the previous 6000-years of unfathomable suffering, death, sorrow, will be an ever-present deterrent as will our redemption and our new-nature (2 Corinthians 5:17) integral and amplified with/by our resurrected bodies fashioned after the glorious body or our Lord Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:21).

There will be no desire to return to the former things that have passed away in sorrow as that which God has prepared for those who love Him will surpass all human expectation and the focus of the Kingdom will be God’s glory and honoring Him as our King (1 Corinthians 2:9).

The Simplicity of Grace through Faith in Jesus as Lord yet “many” will die the “second death” in Hell, why?

Jesus said,

13 “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 (NASB)

16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. 18 The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.” John 3:16-18 (NASB)

Why will “many” suffer the “second death” in Hell?

Concerning Israel,

First, unfortunately and tragically, many of Israel’s children will not be named among the “remnant” saved from Hell in the last days through belief in Messiah Yeshua as they refuse to remove the veil of unbelief that masks their ability to “see” resulting from the Jewish Blood Curse of their forefathers who demanded that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children; tragic because that veil is lifted when a Jew or Israelite steps-out in “faith” and believes with a sincere heart that Yeshua is Messiah who died for them (Matthew 27; Romans 9:27; Isaiah 10:22; Romans 11; 2 Corinthians 3:12-18).

Second, Israel’s children are consumed with self-righteousness (Romans 10); that is, they stubbornly refuse grace (unmerited favor/gift unattainable through human effort) through faith (trusting-believing) that Yeshua is Messiah who died for them and thereby receive eternal life through the imputation of Messiah’s righteousness (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3; 2 Corinthians 5:21). Israel’s children insist that the works of the Law, their self-righteousness attained through a facade of obedience, pleases God and through repentance and being a good Jew, God will be pleased…this is the lie of the Devil (John 8:44; John 3).

Concerning the Gentiles,

An overwhelming number of Gentiles will perish in the “second death” (Revelation 20:11-15) due to unbelief in Jesus as Lord because they’ve been brainwashed, deceived, by a secularized society that dishonors God and worships at the throne of Darwin i.e. atheism, secular humanism, moral relativism. Most Gentiles worship their flesh, sensuality, love of self in narcissism; therefore, they will be “without excuse” in the Judgment of the Condemned as there are truly no atheists as all men and women having attained an age of reason possessing sufficient cognitive acuity to discern the world around them intuitively knows that God’s exists (Romans 1:18-32).

In conclusion,

God the Father sent the Son into the World “to destroy the works of the Devil” (1 John 3:8b) as the Father is restoring peace and order to His Kingdom that was unfathomably disrupted by a rebellion of created hosts exercising free will void restraint. Every human being has been placed within the constraints of Time and physics as warriors in this cosmic-spiritual struggle removed from the Kingdom and placed here for the Kingdom’s sake and our eternal destiny hinges upon whom we ally with i.e. the Devil in self-righteousness and lust of the flesh or God the Father by faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.

Those who honor the Devil through a defiled lifestyle will sow and reap corruption and the “second death;” those who align with and support God the Father by life changing faith in Jesus as Lord and obey the indwelling Holy Spirit in sanctification validating the veracity of that faith will reap honor, peace, everlasting life in God’s New Jerusalem subsequent the resurrection. The choice is yours.

Why Hell?

The struggle between Good and evil manifesting before our eyes was initiated in the Kingdom of God before Time and under girded by disobedience to God’s moral law via free will. God the Father is not only righting this wrong and seeking the restoration of peace and order in His Kingdom through His own selfless love (the Gospel), but God is using this present World, its defilement and horror resulting from sin, to demonstrate the predictable, immutable, resultant of disobedience which will act as a bulwark against future rebellion, disobedience, destruction, in the New Jerusalem where free will is extant by necessity; therefore, do not fool yourself into thinking that your sin and its destructive nature will be permitted to enter the Kingdom of God as God has promised that NOTHING impure will ever enter therein (Revelation 21:27); therefore, unless your sin has been nullified, forgiven, by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord who died for YOU and His righteousness imputed over your life by that faith, the new-nature having manifest through the indwelling Holy Spirit as your Teacher, you have NO HOPE (2 Corinthians 5:21; John 14:6; Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 5:16)! Fight the good fight of faith and live with God as His faithful servant, forever (1 Timothy 6:12).
