Trust . . . .

Trust, A difficult task for those older than 6 years of age, and easy for those less than 2 years of age.

The later is easy to understand because they can do nothing for themselves and therefore are required to trust, in Dad, Mom and must trust that everything will be fine, because they do not know what they need; what will happen if they don't or what will happen if they do get what they want.

The Torah and Tanakh present many examples of Trust and how we are to Trust GOD. Isaac is a great demonstration of Trust, in that at the binding(Genesis 22), he did not fight back but appears to trust both GOD and his father Abraham, that everything will be FINE. While the text does not explicitly say Isaac trusts, I will give you examples of his self restraint.

When Isaac is lead up the mountain he knows there is no sacrifice with them, when he asks his father he is told that the LORD will provide his sacrifice, Isaac continues on. When he is being bound by his father he allows this to happen(it does no matter the age of Isaac, Abraham was 100 years of age when Isaac was born, so at age 13 or 33 Isaac would be able to escape his father), Isaac allows it to continue.

Isaac must have been awake when the Word is Spoken to his father regarding the results of the test. Hence he would know that GOD wants us to trust HIS WORD and obey, everything will be fine.

Isaac is, in appearance, simply -- "Simple". I believe that he has a bad reputation, as he is demonstrating a trust in GOD. The kind of kind of trust that all of us should have. As evidence that this is what GOD is looking for, Isaac is ways, Abraham was actually tested the most because he did not understand that he needed to trust GOD. He is the first to set out on the path of learning who GOD is and what HE wants or expects from us.

As I started with the 'Binding of Issac' Story, we can move backwards from them and find Abraham's evidence upon which he should trust the LORD. From Genesis 12 until the end of the 'Binding of Issac' story in 21 The LORD made a deal and then as Abram grew in knowledge, GOD increased the deal. A great read if you want to understand GOD's teaching process for those that know nothing of HIM.

Anyway, why should Abraham just do what GOD has told him?

Everything up to this point consist of statements about Abraham and Sarah's decendants, including this:
"Genesis 21:12 And God said unto Abraham: 'Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall seed be called to thee."

After that statement, GOD decide to do a test. The ultimate test. Saying to Abraham give me your son, the one you treasure most. The Blessing is passed on to Isaac after completing this test.

O.K., it is time to stop. Except to say: if the MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, the GOD of Fathers, ask you to Do or give anything that HE wants Do It. For HE gave it to you first. Trust HIM that HE always takes card of HIS OWN.

Why keep the laws of Moses?

Why keep the laws of Moses?

This is a question I started to answer, but when I did a search on the internet and found that religion is the same as politics, say anything to win people to your ideas and your control. We are to search out the truth, execute justice and keep your hands from doing evil.

So where is the truth?  How can I know the truth?  Let's go back to the subject: Why keep the laws of Moses?

I will tell you that very few people of the earth will ever live beyond the little moment in time they call their life, spent in their dirt.

           --In reviewing this writing I see that the last line was cryptic. Please let me enlighten you. Your life , the one that is most valuable even to YOUR CREATOR, is not the breath in your lungs nor the beating of your heart, it is the Soul given during your creation. The dirt is where your body came from not so the SOUL. So, if you are unwilling to  be Righteous as defined by THE LORD, and written by the Hand of Moses, your existence will probably be only as long as the dirt survives.  Most people will not understand how important their choices are and what those choices will cost them, the life of their own soul. This is not speculation, it is fact.

Are you one that will save your soul?

Evidence

One piece here:
Isaiah 24:3 The earth shall be utterly emptied, and clean despoiled; for the LORD hath spoken this word. 4 The earth fainteth and fadeth away, the world faileth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do fail. 5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statute, broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore hath a curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth waste away, and men are left few.

Verse 5, does not say 'Jews', 'Children of Israel', Catholics, Baptist, Muslims, Hindus, .... It says the INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH TRANSGRESSED Laws, Statue and Covenant(Contract) and the LORD has spoken the destruction of the earth. This is the second time, but not by water.

So my next question is: Where are you going to go to escape? No there is no salvation there! Not even off this world will save you. If you have faith that someone, anyone who is not you, can stand before THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, THE CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, The GOD OF Abraham, GOD OF Isaac, GOD OF Jacob, and save you or your soul, . . . . . . You are wrong!  If you truly know differently, SHOW ME where the GOD MOST HIGH ever said HIS contracts or HIS WORD, HE VOIDS. Or On the witness of two(prophets proven to speak in the NAME OF THE MOST HIGH) in the TANAHK or Old Testament declare this is possible. Will the LIVING GOD OF ISRAEL forget or not uphold HIS Covenants? "I Will Break MY Covenant!"

Maybe your question is "Does GOD Exist?" and you will find other writings there.

What must I do to be Righteous?

Isaiah has a concise answer again, although he is not the only one to explain this.

Isaiah 56:1 Thus saith the LORD: Keep ye justice, and do righteousness; for My salvation is near to come, and My favour to be revealed. 2 Happy is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth fast by it: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

That was short and concise. Do justice, be righteous, keep the Seventh Day (Sabbath) Holy, keep your hands from any evil.

Where can I know what Justice is, or learn to be Righteous? What profanes the Sabbath?  What is Evil?

The basic Laws are given in Exodus Chapter 20 through 23. They are also given in Deuteronomy. These are the start, but remember GOD'S in the first Isaiah quote:" . . . . transgressed the laws, violated the statute, broken the everlasting covenant . . . ."  This is explained in the Writings Of Moses = Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. The prophets of the Tanakh(Old Testament) never changed the word GOD command Moses to write. Those prophets give a view from a different direction of the same events. This is as is must be because the Numbers entry below.

There is ONLY ONE GOD, and HE is outside of time, and know every movement of  HIS CREATION.

Can you be saved? Yes. But You must change you actions and perform as Moses instructed.

Why keep the laws of Moses?  Who is Moses anyway? What is so important about Moses?

Short answer: GOD told Moses, Moses Wrote Them, GOD IS ANGRY when we don't do as HE said, Refers back to the Writings of Moses.

Numbers 12: 6 And He said: 'Hear now My words: if there be a prophet among you, I the LORD do make Myself known unto him in a vision, I do speak with him in a dream. 7 My servant Moses is not so; he is trusted in all My house; 8 with him do I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD doth he behold; wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses?'

One more requirement, in seeking the truth go to that which is WRITTEN not the verbal. That which is written down does not change. We change it because we refuse to do it, not because it requires our input. If GOD was O.K. with our changing HIS WORD, HE would not declare Malachi 3:"22 Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances."

You have access to the WORD, to know what to do. You have a mind, ears and eyes, that you may understand and change, OR NOT.

I recommend that the links given are for the Chapters in the Tanahk, which should be read for context to the quotes. In this way you may understand the meaning of all you read and not be tricked with fancy words and word play.

"By The Hand Of Moses"

"By The Hand Of Moses"

http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0.htm

I have, we have, a problem. To wit, How can I know the TRUTH? For my whole life, I have heard many different explanations of the sources of religion and then which set of laws I am to follow.

Common phrases regarding the sources are :
1) The Five Books of Moses(Torah) are written by man.
2) There are multiply writers.
3) A living document that must be interpreted for you.
4) A Fiction
5) A nice fantasy.
6) The WORD OF GOD, Written at HIS command, by the Hand of MOSES.

The last is my position, and I have almost never found anyone that thinks along my view. Where does my view come from?

START Here:
For HIS part, The ALMIGHTY caused Moses to write the test of GOD'S WORD as follows:
Deuteronomy 18:"18 I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which he shall speak in My name, I will require it of him. 20 But the prophet, that shall speak a word presumptuously in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.' 21 And if thou say in thy heart: 'How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?' 22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him."

Please allow me to explain why it matters who wrote the TORAH and WHY, to me.

For as long as I can remember, I have been seeking to do that which is right to do. This is probably from my dad, and the pain I received when I did what was wrong. Also, I had some kind (Baptist, Methodist, Church of ___, . . . .) of religious teaching at least four days a week until I was 11 years of age. The Roman teachings are in the form of : we are born with sin, consequences of sin (pain), and there is only one way out of the pain, which is to have someone die for me. But, I might sin again . . . ., I guess it had me scared of doing anything but what was right. So what is right and how can I know and do what is right?

I could think for myself, and even at age six, I figured out that those preaching, were taking only a couple of words and making them say anything they wanted. That seems very strange to me.

I decided that the TRUTH must be the TRUTH every time, and GOD must always do what HE SAYS, if not then there is no truth and no god. These are my premises and they still stand for the foundation of my knowledge.

Put another way: A god that acts fickle and does not say what he means is not a god I have time for.  After all, throughout history, when a Man gives his word and does not make it good, the result is you can not trust that man. A man who's word  is not trusted has a bad reputation and No Honor, he is of little value.

Should my god not be better that a good man?
This was to explain to you why I know that it is of maximum importance to my soul  to know if there is a god, who is this god and what he wants from me. So who’s writings should I follow? I start at the sedition of Miriam and Aaron when THE GOD OF OUR FATHERS says:

Numbers 12:”6 And He said: ‘Hear now My words: if there be a prophet among you, I the LORD do make Myself known unto him in a vision, I do speak with him in a dream. 7 My servant Moses is not so; he is trusted in all My house; 8 with him do I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD doth he behold; wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses?’”

So Moses is the prophet that THE ALMIGHTY speaks to MOUTH-TO-MOUTH, and thereby we are given the LAWS, TEACHINGS and reasons or evidence of GOD and what HE wants from me(us). Therefore if the Writings of Moses are wrong, and THE ALMIGHTY gave them to HIS MESSENGER then I will not be able to trust in the words of GOD. If the MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE has set the DNA of every cell and the sun, moon and stars in motion with supreme power and wisdom, then the transmission of HIS WORD is an easy thing to do.

This makes me extremely joyous, in that I have never found or heard any that can show even ONE event where GOD has contradicted HIS WORD. My current time of search is 53 years!

So where does it say that Moses wrote the Torah and that we are to obey.

I am glad that you asked.:

2Kings 23:24 …. all the law of Moses

2 Chronicles 30:16 …. according to the law of Moses

For me this is more than enough to accept the TORAH as the WORD OF MY GOD.

This is a foundation, but I now add one piece of statement which was written by Moses, that GOD Spoke, has come true or is coming true.

The Return!

It seems that since Age 6, I have been worried that I would never be able to acceptable to the LORD. How can I be perfect? Even if I am forgiven right now in 30 seconds I might do some sin that I am unaware I am doing, then what? I die in my sin? That is it? A little slip up at the end and a life of striving to be Righteous is destroyed by an accidental failing? What I am trying to say is that, I too have been troubled by such concerns.

In this article, I will attempt to show you can save the most valuable possession you have, Your SOUL. I have known for sometime that The LORD places great value on the SOUL and the life of it. Your soul is not just a from GOD, it is that part formed in HIS IMAGE(not the body of dirt). Greater than that, it is your connection to THE CREATOR. Because of the next entry (Exodus 32), we know that there is a book we call the BOOK Of Life, the SOULS recorded there are LIVING SOULS.

Exodus 32:32 Yet now, if Thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray Thee, out of Thy book which Thou hast written.'
33 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book.
[...."sinned against me"....  This will require some more thought, for another time.]

Ezekiel 18:26 When the righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall die therefore; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

So, sinning against GOD equals the death of your soul, yet while your body is alive, you may have time to change your outcome.

I have heard some people reason like this: So it is possible to change and so I can do it anytime. Maybe I will change my ways just before I die so that I don't have to strive to be Righteous all of the time.

 Personally I do not think this will work for the following reasons:
1) THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING, knows your thoughts, because you know your thoughts(your soul is a link), so HE knows your plan. HE is THE COURT and the JUDGE. Not a wise idea.
2) None of us know that the next heart beat will be there, so how much time do you have?
3) You must stop doing that which is wicked, but you must also DO that which is RIGHTEOUS. If you do not have enough time to to do that which is lawful and right, how can you save your soul? This requires actions on your part, not just words or thoughts, but the action of doing what is lawful and right.
4) The final JUDGE is GOD as to whether you have died in your righteousness and not in sin.

You may like to know that the BELOVED OF GOD, those HE called friend were not perfect. They fell down, they sinned. Some even sinned great sins. Yet they turned away from wickedness and did that which is Righteous.

Examples of the heroes in the Tanakh. Abram(Abraham) failed many times and yet in the end Righteous.
Jacob son of Isaac, son of Abraham, also did wicked things in his day, yet he became righteous before GOD.
Moses ran away from Egypt after killing an Egyptian overseer -- Yet he changed and did great things with the LORD.
Aaron failed many times, he even created the golden calf idol. Yet HE and his sons became the high priest serving in the HOLY OF HOLY before GOD.
King David, failed several times. Once he even broke most of the TEN SAYINGS, and yet loved by the LORD, and given a promise which GOD up holds. We look forward to the Anointed One that will sit upon the Throne of David, also know as the Messiah.

LAST

Isaiah 56:1 Thus saith the LORD: Keep ye justice, and do righteousness; for My salvation is near to come, and My favour to be revealed. 2 Happy is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth fast by it: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

You can change, you can live and your soul can live, if you decide to do it. Just do it NOW.

The Last Days

Isaiah 55:11 So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, except it accomplish that which I please, and make the thing whereto I sent it prosper.


What will happen in the last days? This is the Last Day.
     "Isaiah 24: 1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. 2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor. 3 The earth shall be utterly emptied, and clean despoiled; for the LORD hath spoken this word. 4 The earth fainteth and fadeth away, the world faileth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do fail. 5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statute, broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore hath a curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth waste away, and men are left few. .... 18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the terror shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the trap; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth do shake; 19 The earth is broken, broken down, the earth is crumbled in pieces, the earth trembleth and tottereth; 20 The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunken man, and swayeth to and fro as a lodge; and the transgression thereof is heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again. 21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD will punish the host of the high heaven on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. 22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the dungeon, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be punished. 23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for the LORD of hosts will reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His elders shall be Glory."

There is not harsher description of what will happen to the Earth, the people and why, than Isaiah 24.

First, I see a destruction of the heavens and the earth. A form of calling to account each and everyone for their actions, because the Master Of The Universe has stopped waiting for us to return unto HIM. Where have we, the people that have Adam and Noah as our ancestors failed?  We have returned to the days of Noah, but worse.
How worse? We broke the Covenants.
What do you mean 'We'? I don't even know these covenants.
My answer to this exchange is: If you are a descendent of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, then you were chosen for a very special purpose,  . . . . We are to bring to the people of the earth the LAWS, TEACHINGS and EVIDENCE that the LORD OUR GOD IS GOD. We are the example of the COVENANTS, The LAWS, the TRUTH OF THE LORD.

The Writing of Moses --Written Torah contains all of the instruction any any person is required to do and how to do them. They also contain the choosing of a people to be examples for the people of the earth. The Children of Jacob - Israel are the example, for their good or harm but NEVER RELEASED FROM THE CONTRACT(COVENANTS). Hence we are blessed and cursed. Blessed  to demonstrate to the WHOLE WORLD  that KEEPING THE DEAL is something EVERYONE should do. Cursed and Punished BY GOD because we fail to keep the Covenants, to be a HOLY PEOPLE. Blessed to that we will not disappear from the earth, but that a remnant will be kept alive to demonstrate  GOD'S MERCY and JUSTICE to all peoples and that HIS WORD HE UPHOLDS. The MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE chose the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(Israel) as HIS Servants --We accepted that Covenant.

Exodus 19:5 Now therefore, if ye will hearken unto My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be Mine own treasure from among all peoples; for all the earth is Mine; 6 and ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.'

Leviticus 25:18 Wherefore ye shall do My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

Leviticus 26:3 If ye walk in My statutes, and keep My commandments, and do them;)

Deuteronomy 26:16 This day the LORD thy God commandeth thee to do these statutes and ordinances; thou shalt therefore observe and do them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul. 17 Thou hast avouched(Affirmed or Asserted) the LORD this day to be thy God, and that thou wouldest walk in His ways, and keep His statutes, and His commandments, and His ordinances, and hearken unto His voice. 18 And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be His own treasure, as He hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all His commandments; 19 and to make thee high above all nations that He hath made, in praise, and in name, and in glory; and that thou mayest be a holy people unto the LORD thy God, as He hath spoken.

Deuteronomy 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all His commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all the nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come upon thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

Do not tell us about truth, tell us about fantasy.
Isaiah 59: 3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue muttereth wickedness. 4 None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth; they trust in vanity, and speak lies, they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
Jeremiah 9:4 And they deceive every one his neighbour, and truth they speak not; they have taught their tongue to speak lies, they weary themselves to commit iniquity. 5 Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know Me, saith the LORD.


The sun and the moon will give their light no more and GOD will be the light.
Signs in the Heavens and upon the earth.

Isaiah 13:9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel, and full of wrath and fierce anger; to make the earth a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it, 10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

Isaiah 24:17 Terror, and the pit, and the trap, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. 18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the terror shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the trap; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth do shake; 19 The earth is broken, broken down, the earth is crumbled in pieces, the earth trembleth and tottereth; 20 The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunken man, and swayeth to and fro as a lodge; and the transgression thereof is heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again. 21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD will punish the host of the high heaven on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. 22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the dungeon, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be punished. 23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for the LORD of hosts will reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His elders shall be Glory.

Isaiah 30: 25 And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill streams and watercourses, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. 26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of the seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the bruise of His people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.


Ezekiel 32:7 And when I shall extinguish thee, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof black; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.(Egypt's end)

Joel 2:10 Before them the earth quaketh, the heavens tremble; the sun and the moon are become black, and the stars withdraw their shining.
Joel 3:4 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come. 5 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as the LORD hath said, and among the remnant those whom the LORD shall call.
Joel 4:15 The sun and the moon are become black, and the stars withdraw their shining.

A New Heavens and a new earth  Isaiah 65 and 66

Zion(Mountain of GOD) to be higher than the other mountains, how is this possible?

Isaiah 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the end of days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established as the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

Micah 4:2 And it shall come to pass in the end of days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established as the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

I have observed that LORD keeps HIS LAWS even this one: The truth is known at the witness of two or more.
What Law?  Deuteronomy 17:6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.

Deuteronomy 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth; at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall a matter be established.

Deuteronomy 4:26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, . . . .

Example of the Witness of Two(or second events)
Genesis 18:20 And the LORD said: 'Verily, the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and, verily, their sin is exceeding grievous. 21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto Me; and if not, I will know.' Genesis 19:1 And the two angels came to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom; and Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them; and he fell down on his face to the earth; ---THE WITNESS OF TWO, even the LORD keeps HIS LAW before HE tells us.

In The story of the Exodus from Egypt, Pharaoh could have released the Hebrews the first time Moses demanded for the LORD. But, the event was for the for all of the world to see the glory of the LORD.
Remember the plagues and events, now for Gog of Mogog.

Ezekiel 38:22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will cause to rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many peoples that are with him, an overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus will I magnify Myself, and sanctify Myself, and I will make Myself known in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

The nations will be called from the north to war against ' 'GOG and MAGOG Ezekiel 38 & 39.
As in the destruction of Egypt, so the destruction of GOG in a great fashion and for the GLORY OF GOD BEFORE THE NATIONS. Ezekiel 38 is the synopsis and 39 the repeat with the purposes.



Isaiah 13:5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of His indignation, to destroy the whole earth.

Isaiah 30:8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever.
9 For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children that refuse to hear the teaching of the LORD;
10 That say to the seers: 'See not,' and to the prophets: 'Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy delusions;
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.'


Isaiah 60:19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day, neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee; but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
20 Thy sun shall no more go down, Neither shall thy moon withdraw itself; for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. --[Repeated twice]

Ezekiel 32(the pit):7 And when I shall extinguish thee, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof black; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make black over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
9 I will also vex the hearts of many peoples, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.

Jeremiah 23:7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say: 'As the LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt';
Jeremiah 23:8 but: 'As the LORD liveth, that brought up and that led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries whither I had driven them'; and they shall dwell in their own land.

Jeremiah 8: 4 '. . . .Thus saith the LORD: do men fall, and not rise up again? Doth one turn away, and not return? 5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. 6 I attended and listened, but they spoke not aright; no man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying: 'What have I done?'(expressing regret) Every one turneth away in his course, as a horse that rusheth headlong in the battle. 7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but My people know not the ordinance of the LORD. 8 How do ye say: 'We are wise, and the Law of the LORD is with us'? Lo, certainly in vain hath wrought the vain pen of the scribes. 9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken; lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them? 10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall possess them; for from the least even unto the greatest every one is greedy for gain, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.'

All of this reminds me of Noah and the state of the earth in those days. For a hundred years Noah and three of his sons build the ARK in the view of the people, yet no one changed their ways. No one returned so that their souls, lives and families should be saved. We have the last destruction and the prophesies covering who, what , why , how, and even the signs of when, for more than two thousand years. We have a people (Israel) that show the attention of THE LORD with blessing and punishment. We now have signs in the heavens. Signs upon the earth with photos and video from people and from news services. There are entries on the internet that confirm the truth of prophecy; so that we may know the LIVING GOD OF ISRAEL is and that HIS word is TRUTH.

So, take a look around, how much time do you think you have? Should you save your soul now? Or is there time to wait and do it latter? What will you do? If not now, when?

The clock is ticking and you do not know the moment your time is up.

What I have just presented is only a small piece of the references. If you feel that you can not make a decision yet, then read the Tanakh (Old Testament). Or you could tell me your question and I will strive to show you what THE LORD through HIS prophets has said and what HE gives me to understand. Just do not take too much time.

Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near; 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the man of iniquity his thoughts; and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have compassion upon him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. 8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

Isaiah 55:11 So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, except it accomplish that which I please, and make the thing whereto I sent it prosper.

A blessing I offer you: May the GOD of our fathers, the GOD of Abraham, GOD of Isaac, the GOD of Jacob, give you Ears that hear, Eyes that see and a Heart of understanding so that You will perceive the truth, know the meaning of it and Wisely choose the LORD now.

Yaakov
