Reflections on Shabat, September 27, 2024

 


As Abram of old was called to leave his native land and from his relatives
to a land that was previously unknown to him, likewise we are also invited
 to leave the "meat stews of Egypt" from the side and from the slavery of sins
  to walk towards like the Israel the "promised land", which for us is the eternal
kingdom where Yeshua HaMashiach rules. Let us obey the holy call like Abram!


How do you feel about Israel?

  As can be seen from the above, Yehowah is committed to blessing all the nations and people who bless Israel. But at the same time, he is committed to cursing all those people who curse Israel and Israelis. The reason for this is that Yehowah decided to organize through that very nation the salvation of all nations and people through the faith in His Son, HaMashiach Yeshua and his atonement on the cross of Calvary for us, who was born a Jew.

  Blessing Israel does not mean worshiping that nation, but having an honest attitude towards them and remembering what that nation has had to experience throughout history from numerous pagan nations up to this day. The last major accident that befell them happened on October 7, 2023, that is, just under a year ago, when Hamas terrorists attacked Israeli civilians and killed them brutally without sparing women and babies, they cut off their heads.

  When the Israeli military rightly started to defend the right of Israeli civilians to live peacefully in their homeland and decided to eliminate the Hamas terrorists from the entire territory of their country and have been diligently doing so until today, because in the secret tunnels of those human monsters, Hamas, there are still more than 100 hostages in the most terrible conditions, then the UN the General Assembly still condemned Israel's legitimate actions on its own soil as follows:

  The UN General Assembly condemned Israel's illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories. Please note that: According to the statement prepared by the Palestinian Authority on 18 September 2024, Israel must end its illegal presence in the Palestinian territories within 12 months, even though Israel is living quite legally in the land promised by Yehowah to their forefathers. 124 member countries voted in favor of the declaration. 14 countries voted against and 43 countries abstained. Finland voted for it. Finland therefore joined the same front against Israel, where are e.g. Russia and Iran!

  Finland's decision-makers have therefore rejected the blessing offered by the Bible and have chosen a curse! Fortunately, my passport is still valid. The declaration is not legally binding, but it carries political weight. There is no right of veto in the UN General Assembly. The only reason why the US has been blessed by Yehowah until now is that, according to its constitution, it has defended the people of Israel until now and even now voted against that UN resolution. The day the US gives up supporting Israel, it will face inevitable disasters!

Have you heard the call for Salvation?

  Where the message of salvation is proclaimed, the hearers are invited to receive Salvation through faith in Adonai Yeshua. The invitation is always personal, and no other person can answer the invitation for you. Therefore, infant baptism is a completely foreign concept, because in it the baby does not make the decision to follow Adonai Yeshua. Many other teachings that are foreign to the Bible have been spread in the world, but we are each responsible to our Creator for whose teaching we believe.

  For this reason, it is absolutely important that we ourselves read the Bible without human explanations of its content. It is equally important to make sure that the Bible translation we read is reliable. Unfortunately, there is not a single Bible translation in the world that is completely reliable, but still good enough for our guide, the Holy Spirit, to be able to teach us through them.

  I heard the call already in my youth and understood its value, because we cannot compare eternal life with this short life on earth. Nor can we "ride two horses at the same time", i.e. pursue the riches and pleasures of this world's time and, moreover, be devout believers in Bible's promises. That lifestyle is self-deception! Adonai Yeshua taught: Matt. 6:24-26

>>24 "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve Elohim and Money. 25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Isn't there more to life than food and more to the body than clothing? 26 Look at the birds in the sky: They do not sow, or reap, or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you more valuable than they are?<< 


Did you reject your call to Salvation?

  We live in a world that is completely under the control of a personal evil spirit entity until the appointed time. That Devil, together with the angels he has fallen, tries to distort the message of salvation and otherwise make the teachings of the Bible laughable. His goal is to cause our Creator as much displeasure as possible. Because our Creator loves us, and does not want any of the people he created to end up with the Devil in perdition, i.e. in hell. 1 John 5:19

>>We know that we are from Elohim, and the whole world lies in the power of the Evil one.<< 

According to the Apostle Peter, the will of our Creator is the salvation of all people! 2 Piet. 3:9

>>The Adonai is not slow concerning his promise, as some regard slowness, but is being patient toward you, because he does not wish for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.<<

  I am absolutely sure that if you have rejected the invitation you have received, then you have made the biggest possible mistake of your life. Our Creator knows it too and that is why he renews the call to grace for most of us. Some he calls many times, namely those to whom the call of Salvation has been falsely brought and without love in the Holy Spirit. Job 33:15-30

>>15 In a dream, a night vision, when deep sleep falls on people as they sleep in their beds. 16 Then he gives a revelation to people, and terrifies them with warnings, 17 to turn a person from his sin, and to cover a person's pride. 18 He  (Elohim) spares a person's life from corruption, his very life from crossing over the river.

19 Or a person is chastened by pain on his bed, and with the continual strife of his bones, 20 so that his life loathes food, and his soul rejects appetizing fare. 21 His flesh wastes away from sight, and his bones, which were not seen, are easily visible. 22 He draws near to the place of corruption, and his life to the messengers of death.

23 If there is an angel beside him, one mediator out of a thousand, to tell a person what constitutes his uprightness; 24 and if Elohim is gracious to him and says, 'Spare him from going down to the place of corruption, I have found a ransom for him,' 25 then his flesh is restored like a youth's; he returns to the days of his youthful vigor.

26 He entreats Elohim, and Elohim delights in him, he sees Elohim's face with rejoicing, and Elohim restores to him his righteousness. 27 That person sings to others, saying: 'I have sinned and falsified what is right, but I was not punished according to what I deserved. 28 He redeemed my life from going down to the place of corruption, and my life sees the light!'

29 Indeed, Elohim does all these things, twice, three times, in his dealings with a person, 30 to turn back his life from the place of corruption, that he may be enlightened with the light of life.<<

  Have mercy on your own soul and humble yourself to accept the call to salvation with the faith of your heart!


This happens after you accept the call to Salvation

  When you read the Bible, you will notice that its Words speak to you in a completely new way. You find it alive, and it is like that, because it is the revelation of the Eternal Elohim in the form of the written Word. The more you obey it, the more joy it gives you!

 You will see the beauty of nature around you with new eyes and enlightened by the Spirit, which you have never noticed before. When my friend had come to faith, so the next morning she looked at the pine tree in front of her window and saw it fairytale-like beautiful!

  When you listen to Christian music and songs, you notice that there is life in them and that they bring joy, peace and love to your heart. This quality is found only in those psalms and many songs that have been received by the power of the Holy Spirit and composed under his direction. 

  When you pray a variety of prayers, you will experience miraculous answers to them. For some answers, you will notice that their preparation has started in the invisible world long before they appear visible in these human-inhabited kingdoms. Adonai knows everything very early!

  You will also be tested in many furnaces of trials so that your faith and trust in your Creator and his promises will be strengthened and you will be found worthy to join the ranks of the redeemed saints. Pay attention that you are not tempted, but only tested to strengthen your faith!

  You will be protected from many great dangers throughout your life and for some dangers you will only realize later that you were protected when you were in great danger. The Holy Spirit you have received as your Advocate is more powerful than any other spirit in the world.

  When you arrive at the evening of your life and when the day of your departure comes, you can rejoice in the fact that a wonderful eternity awaits you with him who bought you with his blood and great personal suffering almost 2000 years ago on the cross of Calvary. He will take you to our heavenly Father.

  What all you will experience there in eternity is a big secret, but the Bible promises us that we will forever be happy and joyful about everything that our Creator has done for us. That kingdom has been ready since the foundation of the world. 1 Cor. 2:6-9

>>6 Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing. 7 Instead we speak the wisdom of Elohim, hidden in a mystery, that Elohim determined before the ages for our glory.

8 None of the rulers of this age understood it. If they had known it, they would not have crucified the Adonai of glory. 9 But just as it is written, "Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined, are the things Elohim has prepared for those who love him."<<

Reflections on Shabat, September 20, 2024

 


All those who are lost are characterized by loneliness, even if they live alone
or among the lost. The prince of this world does everything to direct their
 thoughts and interest away from their true mental state and offers a variety of
 entertainment and hobbies, for everyone according to their own preferences.
Yet every person feels deep down that something essential is missing from them!
The real lack is that they are without a living connection with their Creator!


I'm talking about my own experience

  When I was 3 years old, I came to the so-called 'child faith', when my devout believing mother led me to know the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. My parents divorced when I was 4 and at 5 I was placed under my father's guardianship, in answer to my secret prayer. He had remarried and no longer believed in the Savior as in his youth. Neither does my stepmother.

  The years passed and since I didn't have a single truly believing friend, year by year I began to distance myself from the living faith. All that remained was the evening prayer and the Lord's prayer in the morning. Fortunately, at the age of 12, I met my Creator again, when I first decided in prayer to start following him in my life. He spoke to me with a promise from the verses of Isaiah 40:30-31.

  He said to me when I was alone at home: >>You get the power. You lift up your wings like eagles. You run and you don't get tired. You will walk and not get tired.<< So I heard his voice and then I became aware that he really exists and that he follows people's thoughts and he is able to talk to us if he wants to. So also for you, if you're looking from all your heart for him!

  I asked him to remind me of my promise when I move from my father's home to my own apartment and workplace. He was Faithful! He reminded me in the spring, when I was in the last year of a 3-year Technical School (HTOL) and lovingly invited me to fulfill the promise I had made 10 years before. His love and faithfulness brought me to tears. He is truly Love!

  The 10 years in between were really difficult and lonely years, even though I first attended a 4-year engineering school and lived with three others my age in a boarding school. During my studies at HTOL, I also lived with two of my classmates in the same large rented apartment. Still, I felt a deep loneliness. Similarly, I experienced loneliness when I was in the army for 11 months.

  Even though for those consecutive years I lived and stayed among other youths and young men of my age, I felt that neither I nor they had a connection of soul or spirit. They were really nice and honest guys, but they weren't interested in religious matters at all. All my siblings were otherwise normal, except that they weren't interested in religious matters either.


Connection with other believers

  I also received this as an answer to my prayer, because I clearly understood while reading the Bible how important it is to walk in connection with other true believers. I was introduced to young Christians in Helsinki and together we proclaimed the gospel on the streets and went on evangelistic trips to some towns in Finland. We were together every day!

  I got to know a young man from Stockholm who had come to Finland to evangelize, and he asked me to proclaim the gospel on the streets of Helsinki with him. His was a Messianic Jew named Jov Judah. He guided me to know that the true name of our Savior is Yeshua HaMashiach. It took years to grasp the meaning of that truth. It took even 7 years.

  Proclaiming the gospel in the streets often late at night, we were able to see huge supernatural miracles and clear guidance of the Holy Spirit. That happened in the early 1970s, 1972-73. Jov moved away and 7 years passed. Then the Holy Spirit led me to PEK (Europe's Conferens of The Holy Spirit) organized in Helsinki in 1980. I adapted my summer vacation for that.

  At that time I was member in Finland's largest Pentecostal congregation, Helsinki Saalem, and was a one of the tent group during that PEK. Then, on a free day, I walked to Esplanadi park in Helsinki, where a podium had been set up for the performers. Just then, two cheerful middle-aged Jewish couples from Hungary started singing there. They were Pentecostals. 

  I quieted down to listen to them and they sang a familiar, beautiful Christian song in Finnish, in which they used our Savior's Hebrew proper name, Yeshua HaMashiach. It reminded me of a Messianic Jew I met 7 years earlier, Jov Judah, who had told me one evening that the true name of our Savior is Yeshua HaMashiach. The Holy Spirit reminded me again of that.

  Then that truth was permanently imprinted inside me, because having read a lot of the Bible, I understood that Hebrew proper names have a very important meaning according to the Bible in the spiritual dimension, where we wage a spiritual war against the spirits of darkness! When Adonai Yeshua taught his disciples in verses Mark 16:17-18, he referred to his Hebrew name!

>>17 These signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands, and whatever poison they drink will not harm them; they will place their hands on the sick and they will be well.<<


I gradually learned to be careful

  I noticed that the Devil had gained a foothold to some extent in all the churches and Christian revival movements that I visited and got to know. I once fell into a deep spiritual crisis, from which I was finally delivered by an angel sent by Adonai Yeshua. He was the answer to my great distress and prays. On four evenings I had prayed with the new tongues for the help from above.

  As a result, that mighty angel came to me from the top of a shining cloud and advised me how to get out of the mental chains I had unknowingly fallen into. It meant leaving that congregation and he led me to Sweden for years, during which time I gradually recovered and grew stronger in faith and trust in my Creator and the promises of his Holy Word.

  Although the fellowship of believers is important, it is more important to cherish pure doctrine and be uncompromising in the life of sanctification, and to be doers of the Word, that is, to implement it in our lives, and not to be just hearers of it as many who are in numerous churches, but they do not do according to what the Bible commands ! Adonai Yeshua taught: Matt. 7:21

>>"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the kingdom of heaven - only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven".<<


Our Creator demands absolute obedience from us

  As long as we want to decide for ourselves everything we want and what we strive for according to the conditions offered by this world, we are walking away from our Creator. Instead, we should primarily seek a living connection with our Creator by praying and reading the Bible and meditating on its content. We should completely abandon our worldly dreams and aspirations.
We must learn by practice what our Saviour's words mean: Luke 9:23-25

>>23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?<<

  This process of choosing the right things and letting go of the wrong takes its own time, and our Creator is patiently waiting for us to give up our own plans and choose the much better plans he planned for us even before the creation of the world, and we begin to implement them in our lives with the guidance of His Holy Spirit and His Word. This leads us from solitude to his communion!


Then you are no longer lonely, even if you live alone

  I know that Adonai Yeshua lives in me through the Holy Spirit and in the same Spirit my heavenly Father Yehowah Elohim has also come to live in me. Since I have faith in this, I no longer need a constant emotional experience of it like I did when I was a younger believer. Yet I often experience the presence of them three almost daily, when I pray with the new tongues.

  Ask Adonai Yeshua into your heart and strive for obedience to his teachings, and you will no longer experience bottomless loneliness, even if you live alone! Don't be discouraged, even if you are disappointed with other believers and congregations, but keep searching for a living connection with your Creator until you really know you have found it! Isaiah 57:15 and John 5:24 and 1 John 5:13

Isaiah 57:15 >>For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.<<

John 5:24 >>"I tell you the solemn truth, the one who hears my message and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but has crossed over from death to life".<< This is how Adonai Yeshua teaches and assures us even today!

1 John 5:13 >>I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of Elohim so that you may know that you have eternal life.<< 
  The name of the Son of Elohim is, as I already wrote above: Yeshua HaMashiach! Our Heavenly Father's holiest name is Yehowah. The Finnish star who has truly come to faith, Eija Merilä, sings a wonderful song of praise about that Name. Listen to that first song!

Reflections on Shabat, September 13, 2024



I had a dream where I met one of my school friends from over 50 years ago.
He had lost a particularly important key and told me about it. I did as usual
when facing difficulties: I first prayed to Adonai Yeshua for help. Then I went
 to look for the key and the Spirit said: Look on the floor, under the wardrobe!
There was the key and I reached to take it out and took it to my school friend.


Losing the key

  It is very embarrassing when you notice that the key for your apartment has disappeared. If it's winter and you're coming home in the evening, but you can't find the key in your pockets. If you also live alone in your apartment, losing your key can be expensive and you may have to wait a long time for the apartment or townhouse maintenance man. This rarely happens to young people, but it happens more often to older people.

  I have put spare key to my apartment in the pockets of several of my trousers and in my backpack just in case I don't lose the key when I change my over trousers. Another way would be to put the key to the front door of the apartment on a chain and around your neck or belt. You can also give the spare key to a trusted acquaintance if he stays at home and does not often do inter-rail or long trips abroad.


The key can be stolen

  Some people may have acquaintances who steal keys from their friends in order to sneak into their apartment while they know the person living in the apartment is away. I was once surprised by a comment from one of my familiar colleagues when, as usual, I asked when he spends his summer vacation(?) He replied: "What's up with you!" He continued: “I know of a case where a man had told a colleague when he was taking his summer vacation and that he would be traveling to Southern Europe then.

  After returning home from there, the man found that his entire apartment had been emptied and the financial loss was really great". I didn't continue the conversation beyond that, and I didn't ask if he himself was the man whose apartment had been broken into during the vacation. The answer I got was really rude and revealed that he has no confidence in his co-worker, even though we've known each other for about 10 years, he could have just said, "I haven't decided it yet."


Nowadays, even locks do not prevent thieves

  Nowadays, cars and other vehicles are stolen and apartments are broken into, especially during the holidays, even by international crime syndicates. Stolen catch is transported abroad in trucks and sold to brokers. It's a lucrative business. A few years ago, it happened in the middle of a clear day in Turku that car thieves changed the license plates to a Mercedes-Benz, broke into it and tried to drive it through customs to a foreign country. It was not an isolated case.

  How true is our Savior's teaching even today: Matt. 6:19-21
>>19 "Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But accumulate for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.<< 


People's hearts also have a door and a lock

  Our Creator created it for each of us and gave us the authority to prevent harmful things and doctrines from being adopted and entering our hearts. That is why we must always be on the alert, because the spirit prince of this world seeks to get inside us to take control of us and then to finally take us with him to destruction!

 Our savior Yeshua HaMashiach is tactful in not forcing his way into us in order to save us from being lost. Instead, he knocks on the door of our heart and politely asks for permission to enter:  Rev. 3:20
>>Listen! I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come into his home and share a meal with him, and he with me.<< 


Freeing people enslaved by the devil

  Unfortunately, it often happens that a person does not watch himself and his thoughts, but lets the spirit of darkness, devil's spirit and demon into his heart. Our Creator knew it in advance and has therefore given us, his fellow workers, the power to free those souls who groan as slaves to many kinds of lusts and yearn to be freed from them. In this case, we believers in Adonai Yeshua have been given the following powers:

A) Matt. 18:18-19 
>>18 "I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven. 19 Again, I tell you the truth, if two of you on earth agree about whatever you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.<<

B) Matt. 10:8
>>Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.<< 

  The teaching that these gifts of grace to do mighty works would no longer be valid is a heresy. Now if ever we need the diligent use of these gifts of grace, because today there are people possessed by evil spirits everywhere, although most of them don't even know it!


We have a sure refuge in Adonai Yeshua!

  When we have opened the door of our hearts to him and given him full authority to rule over us and lead us to him with the help of his Holy Spirit in the glory of heaven, no power in the world can prevent it, for our Savior, in addition to being given all authority in heaven and on earth, also has the authority to rule Death and Hades! Rev. 1:12-18

>>12 I turned to see whose voice was speaking to me, and when I did so, I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands was one like a son of man. He was dressed in a robe extending down to his feet and he wore a wide golden belt around his chest.

14 His head and hair were as white as wool, even as white as snow, and his eyes were like a fiery flame. 15 His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword extended out of his mouth. His face shone like the sun shining at full strength.

17 When I saw him I fell down at his feet as though I were dead, but he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid! I am the first and the last, 18 and the one who lives! I was dead, but look, now I am alive - forever and ever - and I hold the keys of Death and of Hades!<<

Reflections on Shabat, September 6, 2024



We see from the teachings of the Bible that the creation of our Creator is still unfinished.
One of his most significant creations are the people he has decided to create as new spiritual creations based on his choice of grace. In that process, the corrupt old creation is completely removed from us. Another of his great works of creation is set in the future, when this earth and the present heavens will first be destroyed because they are corrupt, and a new earth and the new heavens will be created in their place. 
I want to watch that wonderful creation, if possible!


The creation of man in paradise

  Since our Heavenly Father wanted more children besides his firstborn son HaMashiach Yeshua and several other his sons, he decided to create them through different stages. First from the dust of the earth and then after various stages through the redeeming work of the Messiah into eternal spiritual creations. The work was very demanding, because people also had to be allowed to choose whether they voluntarily wanted to obey his will or not. It was a necessary test of their faith! Exodus 3:1-7

  We know from the story of the Bible that our ancestors chose disobedience to their Creator and therefore we as a whole humanity have to suffer the terrible consequences of their wrong choice. Our Creator knew that our ancestors could make a wrong choice, and therefore he had already decided before the foundation of the world to redeem the people in accordance with his choice of mercy by his firstborn son's vicarious suffering and death for them. 1 Peter 1:16-21

>>16 for it is written, "You shall be holy, because I am holy." 17 And if you address as Father the one who impartially judges according to each one's work, live out the time of your temporary residence here in reverence. 

18 You know that from your empty way of life inherited from your ancestors you were ransomed - not by perishable things like silver or gold - 19 but by precious blood like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Messiah.

20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was manifested in these last times for your sake. 21 Through him you now trust in Elohim, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in Elohim.<< 


The creation of the elect into new spiritual creations

  Our Creator has created some of us based on his own preference and choice of grace as new spiritual creations, over the course of many generations. It is not fatalism or belief in fate, but our Creator has already examined all the people he created and has tested us as individuals before hand, to find out which of us are fit to inherit eternal life and which are not. So it's not about the inherent goodness of any person, but about our suitability and worthiness as his children.

Luke 20:35
 >>But those who are regarded as worthy to share in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.<<

2 Thess. 1:3-5
>>3 We ought to thank Elohim always for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith flourishes more and more and the love of each one of you all for one another is ever greater. 4 As a result we ourselves boast about you in the congregations of Elohim for your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and afflictions you are enduring. 5 This is evidence of Elohim's righteous judgment, to make you worthy of the kingdom of Elohim, for which in fact you are suffering.<<

  The joke that 'suffer in peace, and you will eventually get a brighter crown', is not a whim, but a biblical principle. Assuming, of course, that we suffer for our faith. The various sufferings related to our faith are for us personal tests through which our faith is tested, in an effort to perceive it as genuine. 

James 1:12
>>Happy is the one who endures testing, because when he has proven to be genuine, he will receive the crown of life that Elohim promised to those who love him.<<

  All people chosen for salvation to be created as new spiritual creatures. Anyone who hears the message of salvation about our Savior HaMashiach Yeshua and accepts it in his heart in faith, repents in his life, i.e. stops practicing sin and goes to believers' baptism in the name of Yeshua HaMashiach, receives salvation as a gift!

Acts 2:38-39 
>>38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each one of you be baptized in the name of Yeshua HaMashiach for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and your children, and for all who are far away, as many as the Yehowah our Elohim will call to himself."<<

2 Cor. 5:16-17
>>16 So then from now on we acknowledge no one from an outward human point of view. Even though we have known Messiah from such a human point of view, now we do not know him in that way any longer. 17 So then, if anyone is in HaMashiach, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away - look, what is new has come!<<


This is how you can test your suitability as his child

  Read the verses in Matt. 25:34-40 and if you find yourself and your world of values ​​in those verses, and not in the following verses 41-45, then you are acceptable as his child, if you also believe in HaMashiach Yeshua as your own Savior, you repent in your life, you acknowledge him as Adonai even in front of people without faith and take by immersion in water baptism in his name. If you notice that you still find yourself in verses 41-45, then immediately make a complete turn in your world of values ​​and start today with all your heart to practice love of your neighbor with actions, so that you will be found worthy! In this way, it is in your power to decide your eternal destiny! Take my advice!

Matt. 25:31-46
>>31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be assembled before him, and he will separate people one from another like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.'

37 Then the righteous will answer him, 'Adonai, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or naked and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?'

40 And the king will answer them, 'I tell you the truth, just as you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of mine, you did it for me.'

41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels! 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink. 43 I was a stranger and you did not receive me as a guest, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.'

44 Then they too will answer, 'Adonai, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not give you whatever you needed?' 45 Then he will answer them, 'I tell you the truth, just as you did not do it for one of the least of these, you did not do it for me.'

46 And these shall go into everlasting torment, but the righteous into eternal life."
(Verse 46 is a quote from G. Lamsa's Peshitta)


The creation of new heavens and a new Earth

  I think it is completely understandable that all of us humans have learned what it feels like to live without connection to our Creator in this corrupt and doomed world. We have been given the opportunity to learn obedience to the will of our Creator. He has expressed it to us in the Holy Bible and promised to give the humble and those who respect him as a guide the Holy Spirit to open our understanding so that we can understand his will for us as individuals.

  Through faith, we can understand that in the new earth and the new heavens it is no longer so miserable to live, but there we can be happy and rejoice forever in his proximity and in living connection with him and our Savior HaMashiach Yeshua and the Holy Spirit and the spirit beings of glory who are with them. There we get to meet the saints of the Old Covenant who have fallen asleep and those of our relatives who have been obedient to the message of salvation in their own lifetime.

Eph. 2:11-17
>>11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without HaMashiach, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without Elohim in the world:

13 But now in HaMashiach Yeshua ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of HaMashiach. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16 And that he might reconcile both unto Elohim in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.<<

Rev. 20:11-12
>>11 Then I saw a large white throne and the one who was seated on it; the earth and the heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Then books were opened, and another book was opened - the book of life. So the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds.<<

Rev. 21:2-6
>>2 And I saw the holy city - the new Jerusalem - descending out of heaven from Elohim, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: "Look! The residence of Elohim is among human beings. He will live among them, and they will be his people, and Elohim himself will be with them. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any more - or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist."

5 And the one seated on the throne said: "Look! I am making all things new!" Then he said to me, "Write it down, because these words are reliable and true." 6 He also said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega (Alef and Tav), the beginning and the end. To the one who is thirsty I will give water free of charge from the spring of the water of life.<<

Rev. 22:1-5
>>1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life - water as clear as crystal - pouring out from the throne of Elohim and of the Lamb, 2 flowing down the middle of the city's main street. On each side of the river is the tree of life producing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month of the year. Its leaves are for the healing of the nations.

3 And there will no longer be any curse, and the throne of Elohim and the Lamb will be in the city. His servants will worship him, 4 and they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 Night will be no more, and they will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Yehowah Elohim will shine on them, and they will reign forever and ever.<<
