Ecclesiastes 1:9 the thing
that hath been it is that which shall be and that which is done is that which
shall be done…
1 Corinthians 10:11 now
all these things happened unto them for examples and they are written for our
admonition upon whom the ends of the world are come…
Romans 10:9-11 that if
thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thy heart
that God hath raised Him from the dead thou shalt be saved for with the heart
man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation
Psalm 119: 11-14 Thy word
have I hid in mine heart that I might not sin against Thee blessed art thou O
Lord teach me Thy statutes with my lips have I declared all the judgments of
thy mouth
Deuteronomy 30: 10-16 if
thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God to keep His commandments
and His statutes which are written in this book of the law and if thou turn
unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart and with all thine soul for this
commandment which I command thee this day is not hidden from thee neither is it
far off it is not in heaven that thou should say who shall go up for us to
heaven and bring it unto us that we may hear it and do it neither is it beyond
the sea that though should say who shall go over the sea for us and bring it
unto us that we may hear it and do it but the word is very nigh unto thee in
thy mouth and in thy heart that though may doest it see I have set before thee
this day life and good and death and evil in that I command thee this day to
love the Lord thy God to walk in His ways to keep His commandments and His
statutes and His judgments that though mayest live and multiply and the Lord
thy God may bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it
We would be hard pressed to find any subject that peeks the
interest of men more than the end times. For most this desire comes with no
consideration of living for YHWH now but only if after they have spent their
days seeking their own desires they will be able to escape judgment. What they
do not realize is going after their lust for self-gratification and self-fulfillment
and self-respect and self-help is the reason judgment is coming.
So it is in blindness that they grope to understand who is
the beast, what is the mark, how long do I have. The church does little better
as they have adopted the fables of men as truth and seek to fascinate and make an
audience of awe instead of being about the Fathers business.
Yeshua gave a parable of a man who stored up for himself
believing he had time to rest in ease but YHWH required account of his soul in
the very day he believed he had provided for himself. The end of such a thing
is that everyman that draws breath is now living in his last days reguardless
of that set day of the Lord and He will give account of his own life in that
time.
This being said YHWH has not left us ignorant of the season
and signs of that day. Many a man has searched the books of Daniel and
revelation to discover the details of that day but it seems we need a
foundation before we can see what is said in these books.
Consider the following from scripture
1)
DAY OF THE LORD: Adam rejects YHWH’s life preferring
to be his own god by his own knowledge…the result every man born of his seed
was a self and separated(dead)from life(one with YHWH)…YHWH cast man out of His
presence but promises He would bring a seed through the woman that would have
His flesh bruised by iniquity but He would destroy the head(thinking, desire,
and trust in self)of men’s iniquity
2)
DAY OF THE LORD: Men of Adam give no thought to
YHWH or his promise; living for self to eat, drink, and marry they increase in self-seeking
till the earth is filled with their violence…YHWH provides an arc to preserve
His creation and saves Noah and the seven souls of his family
3)
DAY OF THE LORD men gather in rejection of YHWH’s
command to spread throughout the earth and create a tower to show themselves able
to reach Heaven by working together…YHWH spreads them to the wind by confusing
their language (showing their unity is false based on the self-desire)
4)
DAY OF THE LORD Sodom and Gomorrah men throw off
restraint seeking their own pleasure despite cost to another…Lot is saved
5)
DAY OF THE LORD Egypt’s power and trust in their
idols, nation, army, and power of self-appointed god king destroyed…Israel is
saved
6)
DAY OF THE LORD despite seeing YHWH destroy
Egypt and burn Sinai and purge false brethren Israel still looks at both
covenant and work of YHWH as something to be done from themselves bringing
death…YHWH spare those under twenty and those that believed that He might teach
them to trust in Him.
7)
DAY OF THE LORD Northern kingdom of Israel
rejects that house of YHWH because of covetousness of their brethren leading
them to be leavened by idolatry which is adultery to the covenant of YHWH. YHWH
takes them from His land by the Assyrians…but gives a promise that they will be
gathered again and take part in the established covenant.
8)
DAY OF THE LORD Judah follows into idolatry
desiring what they perceive as the glory of other nations while claiming to
glorify YHWH. The children gather sticks the fathers make a fire and the women
cook cakes to the queen of heaven showing the idolatry has rotted through and
through. The glory leaves the temple and both what had once been a holy people
and those things used for the worship of YHWH become treasure for the godless…but
a return to land and true covenant is promised
9)
DAY OF THE LORD Messiah is born raised and
brings the gospel of the Kingdom of YHWH to the people of Israel but many in
the leadership have come to honor the traditions as equal to Torah and also
become willing to join themselves to the world to further their own desires and
safety resulting in a conspiracy with Rome to crucify Messiah and by this same
Rome the nation and temple are scattered…but Yeshua warns His Jewish followers of how this will come about to the end that
they may escape this destruction.
10)
DAY OF THE LORD when the gospel has been
preached to every nation, when Israel is once more a nation but secular with no
acceptance of their messiah, when men believe they can come together as one and
make a world that has no need of any god other than themselves, when men seek
after their own ways with no regard for the will or word of YHWH or fellowmen .
Then comes the Day of the Lord that all others have taught; when Adams lie and
trust of self will be purged from His people and those who do not have His life
in them will be cast out forever.
As believers we must have this purging in our soul that the
fiery trial and baptism in YHWH’s fire is taking away all trust in self and men
leaving us to live as one with YHWH. The world waits for a temple to be built
but we know that Messiah is the temple for YHWH does not live in a building of
man but in a body made by his own hand, and as we say we are in Him and the scriptures
bears witness that we are lively stones in Him; so let us give all of our self
to YHWH in trust that He shall purge away every piece and shadow of the flesh
of Adam from His temple.
