Reflections on Shabat! 24th Feb 2023




Shabat Shalom, dear friends!

We live in an age where persecution is increasing even from our friends and families against all who truly believe in HaMashiach Yeshua. Let's be on our guard!

Persecutions in the world is increasing

The Bible points of the appendix (Miika 7: 5-6 and Matthew 10: 21-22) have been realized for centuries, especially in communities where family and family ties are very strong. That is why it is difficult for us Westerners to understand how appropriate the warnings are.

Many believers in Adonai Yeshua have paid a high price for their faith. Many have had to flee to survive without knowing where to find a safe place to live. Some have been expelled from their families and communities. Some of them have been tortured and beaten.

More than before have had to choose between life and death and because they have not denied their faith in Adonai Yeshua, they have been brutally killed. One of them was 'Vanja', a Messiah witness from Siberia. He, only 20-year-old Ivan 'Vanja' Mojsevitj from Moldavia, was subjected to torture during military service in the Soviet Union.

He bravely testified of his Savior to others in military service and was therefore tortured to death by slowly inserting a red-hot steel rod six times around his heart on July 16, 1972. He was one of the hundreds of millions of victims of communist ideology, the number of which is still increasing in e.g. China, North Korea and Vietnam.

Many kinds of tortures of believers have already been written before, e.g. in the verses
Heb. 11:35-40


>>35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

36 Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.

37 They were stoned. They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. They went around in sheep skins and in goat skins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated

38 (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.

39 These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, didn’t receive the promise,

40 Elohim having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.<<



Now is the time to prepare for persecution

We live in an age where the number of martyrs will increase and will eventually reach a culmination point, as prophesied in the Revelation of John. We Christians in the West and Messianics who believe in Yeshua must help the suffering sisters and brothers of faith in those countries where they have a hard time!

Once the predetermined number of martyrs has been fulfilled, Yehowah Elohim's plan of salvation will rapidly move toward its final fulfillment, with the rapture of believers, the numerous global judgments of the end of time, and the establishment of the 1000-year Kingdom on earth.

It will be a time of peace when Yeshua HaMashiach and his elect who were martyred will rule over all nations on earth!



Let's keep our composure even in persecution!

Rejoice in your hope, be patient in your troubles, and continue steadfastly in prayer! Rom. 12:12
