  • False Salvation | Answers 4 Saints

    False Salvation God cannot stand the prayers of anyone who disobeys his Law.Proverbs 28:9 Is Simple Salvation the Truth? False Salvation You were born into a ready made religion Can a Christian be Unconverted? Real Salvation 4 signs of a True Christian A true sign that Christians recognize Yeshua is our only Savior, therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of Yeshua will be saved.” True Christians keep the Law of God. True Christians walk as Yeshua walked and lived. True Christians must overcome sin. Spiritual Blindness The spiritually blind hear the truth, but they cannot see what it means. They cannot see the “big picture” of salvation, and they are unable to see how it applies to their own life. They have trouble confessing the truth because they have difficulty believing what they cannot see. For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; What are the 18 steps to salvation? Hear the Gospel. (Matthew 4:17John 8:32) Believe the Gospel (Hebrews 11:6, John 20:31) Repent of past sins (Luke 13:3, Acts 17:30) Confess faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:10, Matthew 10:32) Be Baptized (Galatians 3:27, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38) Be faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10) For all who obey him eternal salvation Hebrews 5:9 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.1 John 2:6 But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. James 1:2 And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. Romans 8:1 We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.” Acts 5:32 “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.Romans 10:13-15 For But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. Matthew 19:16-26 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life…John 3:15,16 For we live by faith, not by sight. (Hebrews 11:6) And without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.2 Corinthians 5:7 And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.” John 3: Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”John 3:3 So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.James 2:17-23 Barns Group survey. "Believers don't care what the truth Is, or care what Yehovah desires from us. We are afraid of looking into, it because it will draw a line in the sand, we know we don't want to make those decisions because at the end of the day, we want what we want, we are comfortable with our lives we are comfortable out traditions that are man-made. But you have a thought that pops into your head that's not what it means to me. The issue is it doesn't matter to you it matters to Yehovah He is the one being worshiped." The problem facing the church is not that people lack a complete set of beliefs the problem is that have a full state of beliefs in mind, which they think are consistent with biblical teachings, and they are neither open to being proven wrong nor learning new insights. The bottom line is among both clergy and laity. Revelation 22:14 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. Acts 5:32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.” 3

    Great White Throne Judgment comes with a curse of eternal death. Make no mistake! God will allow you to defy and disobey Him. (He also says there is a day of reckoning coming. As you sow, so shall you reap!) Veritas de Inferno Magno throno albo Judicio mortis aeternae maledicto venit. Nolite errare! Deus sinet te exprobrare et non obedire. Permittet te sequi turbam et hominum traditiones. Ille te permittit peccare. (Item dicit: Dies est adventus. Ut sementem, ita metes! Atque his verbis in aeternum judicabimur. Non leviter aut neglecta sunt. Ubi est thronus magni judicii? In fine millennii post pugnam Gog & Magog, magna secunda resurrectio fit. 5 Ceteri mortuorum non vixerunt, donec consummentur mille anni. Revelation 20:7-9 Et cum completi fuerint mille anni, solvetur Satanas de carcere suo, 8 et exibit ad sedendum gentes, quæ sunt in quatuor plagis terræ, Gog, et Magog, ut congreget. quorum numerus est sicut arena maris.9 Et ascenderunt in latitudinem terræ, et circuierunt castra sanctorum, et civitatem dilectam: et descendit ignis de cælo a Deo. et devoravit eos. Magnum thronum Albae Judicium est pro reliquis mortuis, omnes omnium saeculorum mortui, qui non sumus salvati, et ideo in secundo adventu Christi non resuscitati sunt, et in tribunali Christi non apparuerunt.

Omnes homines, qui semper vixerunt, si incompositi, sive boni sive mali in vita terrestri fuerunt, in hoc magno throno albo Dei judicio stare debebunt. Qui judicatus est in throno albo maximo judicio? Hoc judicium est omnium mortuorum, pusilli & magni, etiam omnes qui vixerunt per millennium & tamen secuti sunt diabolum & destruxerunt in fine ejus in bello Gog & Magog. John 3:4 Omnis qui facit peccatum, et iniquitatem facit. Peccatum enim est iniquitas. 5 Sed scitis quoniam Christus apparuit peccata tollere, et peccatum in eo non est. 6 Omnis, qui in eo manet, non peccat; Nemo, qui peccat, vidit eum, nec cognovit eum. 7 Filioli, nemo vos seducat. Qui facit justitiam, justus est, sicut et Christus justus est. 8 Qui facit peccatum, ex diabolo est: quoniam ab initio diabolus peccat. Propter hoc apparuit Filius Dei, ut dissolvat opera diaboli. non potest peccare, quoniam ex Deo natus est. 10 In hoc discernuntur filii Dei, et filii diaboli: Omnis qui non facit justitiam, non est ex Deo, et qui non diligit fratrem suum. Revelation 13: 16 Facit omnes, pusillos, et magnos, et divites, et pauperes, et liberos, et servos, accipere caracterem in dextera sua aut in frontibus suis, 17 et nemo emat, aut vendat, nisi qui habet caracterem per nomen bestiae vel numeri nominis eius. 18 Hic sapientia est. Numerum bestiae qui sapit computat, quia numerus hominis est: numerus eius DCLXVI. Revelation 14:9 Et tertius angelus secutus est eos, dicens magna voce: Si quis adoraverit bestiam et imaginem ejus, et acceperit caracterem in fronte aut in manu ejus, 10 hic de vino bibet. ira Dei, quae sine mixtione effunditur in calicem indignationis suae; et cruciabitur igne et sulphure in conspectu sanctorum angelorum, et in conspectu Agni. 11 et fumus tormentorum eorum ascendit in sæcula sæculorum: nec habent requiem die ac nocte, qui adoraverunt eum. bestiam et imaginem eius, et qui accipit caracterem nominis eius. Matthew 13:42 "Sicut zizania evulsa sunt, et igni conburuntur, sic erit in consummatione sæculi. 41 mittet Filius hominis angelos suos et colligent de regno eius omnia scandala et omnes qui operantur malum 42 { mittent eos in fornacem ignis ardentis: ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium.} 43 Tunc justi fulgebunt sicut sol in regno Patris eorum. Qui habet aures, audiant. Hebrews 10:26-27 Si enim peccantes ex industria susceptam veritatem, jam non permanet sacrificium pro peccatis, sed formidolosa exspectatio judicii, et furor ignis devorans adversarios. Sequuntur versiculi secunda resurrectio, ubi omnes mortui resurgent, mors et iudicium sequetur. The Great White thronus Judicium. Revelation 20:11 et vidi thronum magnum candidum et sedentem super eum a cuius aspectu fugit terra et caelum et locus non est inventus ab eis et non erat eis locus. 12 Et vidi mortuos, pusillos et magnos, stantes ante Dominum; et libri aperti sunt, et alius liber apertus est, qui est liber vitae; et judicati sunt mortui ex his, quae scripta sunt in libris secundum opera illorum. 13 Et mortua sunt, quæ erant in eo: mare, et mortui sunt. et mors et infernus tradiderunt mortuos qui in ipsis erant: et iudicati sunt unusquisque secundum opera eorum. 14 Et infernus et mors missi sunt in stagnum ignis. Hæc est mors secunda. 15 Et qui non inventus est in libro vitæ scriptus, missus est in stagnum ignis. Omnes homines « sub lege » sunt, donec per fidem in Christum veniant et salutem per illam per gratiam recipiant. Esse sub lege, significat sub poena legis, quae est mors. Haec etiam lex peccati et mortis appellatur (Rom. 8, 2).

Fructus paenitentiae sunt actiones visibiles — saepe « opera » appellata, quae ostendunt hominem quidem mutatum esse. Romans 7:7 7 num ergo lex Dei peccatum est? Certe non! Nam lex tua peccatum meum mihi. Nunquam scirem, quod concupiscere nefas esset, nisi lex diceret: Non concupisces. 1 John 3:4 Omnis qui facit peccatum, et iniquitatem facit; peccatum est iniquitas. Omne opus scribitur in libro, secundum illud Apoc. Haec sunt testes quare omne os claudatur aut obturetur coram Creatore nostro; peccatum nostrum constat. Ut sciatis, secundum legem Torah, capit 2 ad 3 testes statuere rem et sententiam aliquem ad mortem. Sed numquid ream nostram apud Patrem intelligis? Deuteronomy 19:15 (Clementine_Vulgate) Testis unus non sufficit adversus aliquem in aliquod delictum, nec in aliquo delicto. Tantum duorum testium vel trium testium testimonio confirmabitur. Scimus duos testes esse necessarios ad culpam nostram confirmandam. Perseverans. Romans 3:19-20 19 Scimus autem quoniam quæcumque lex loquitur, iis, qui sub lege sunt, loquitur: ut omne os obstruatur, et subditus fiat omnis mundus Deo: ex operibus enim legis nemo iustificabitur in conspectu eius, quia per legem cognitio peccati. Respondendum est primo, qui sunt qui sub lege sunt? Dicemus simpliciter propter tempus, quod omnes homines « sub lege sunt », donec in foedus per fidem Messiae veniant et per illam fidem salutem per gratiam recipiant. Etiam Scripturae comprehendunt, ubi Iehovah dixit: Messiam nobis missurum, per quem salus fieri possit. Veritati illi committimus, et tunc vitam nostram quasi veram ostensionem, vel evidentiam, quod verum esse credimus, vivimus. Hoc est exercitium fidei nostrae in Verbo; per illam fidem et gratiam Iehovae salutem accipere possumus. Postquam fidem habemus, postquam mortem meremur et egere opus Christi redemptrici cognoscimus et fidem nostram in actum convertimus (oboedientiam nostram), sub maledicto non sumus (lex peccati et mortis). Priusquam fidem habeamus in Christum, eramus sub lege peccati et mortis, id est, post fidem, iam non sumus sub lege peccati et mortis. Revelation 20:11-15 Et vidi thronum magnum candidum, et sedentem super eum. A facie eius fugit terra et caelum, et locus non est inventus eis. Et vidi mortuos magnos et pusillos stantes in conspectu throni, et libri aperti sunt. et alius liber apertus est, qui est vitae; Et judicati sunt mortui, quod scriptum est in libris eorum, secundum quid fecerint. Et reddidit mare mortuos, qui erant in eo, et mors et infernus dederunt mortuos, qui in eis erant, et judicati sunt unusquisque secundum quod fecerunt. Et infernus et mors missi sunt in stagnum ignis. Hæc est mors secunda, stagnum ignis, et qui non est inventus in libro vitæ scriptus, missus est in stagnum ignis. (119 ministeria) Vidistin'? Nostra omnia gesta memorantur in libris; ii libri secundi testis sunt. Sed, cum fidem habemus in Messiam, invenimus nos non esse amplius sub poena legis, quia solvit illam poenam. At qui fieri potest? Adhuc duo sunt testes, ergo nonne adhuc meremur mortem aeternam? Responsum quaestioni invenimus cum respicimus ad Coloss. 2, 13-14. Colossians 2:13-14 13 et vos, qui mortui estis in delictis vestris, et præputio carnis vestræ, convivificavit eum Deus cum illo, donans nobis omnia delicta nostra, destruentes testimonium reatus, qui adversum nos erat cum postulatis suis. . Hoc deposuit, cruci affixo. Vers. 13 confirmat nos in peccatis nostris mortui esse, sed per Messiam remissa sunt peccata nostra. Quid ergo fit cum peccata dimittuntur? "Responsio debiti quae contra nos stetit" remissum est. Suus 'a Messia solutus est, et in ligno affixus est. Vbi erat titulus debiti huius scripti? Scriptum est in eo libro, quo scripta sunt omnia nostra opera, secundus testis, qui culpam nostram constituit. Cum solutum est illud debitum, sublatum est testimonium nostrum; et nunc immaculati sumus. Testis unus est modo! uno teste occidi non possumus! Nunc habemus vitam aeternam! Messias poenas solvit et sic propter delicta nostra delevit, ut amplius contra nos teneri non possent. Ex hoc autem quod habent fidem in operibus Messiae, non est quia lex sublata est a nobis, ut quidam credunt, ad Coloss. Salus operatur intra fines seu ambitum a Torah constitutum, quia secundus testis necesse est nos ad mortem aeternam damnare remotum est. Extra suam legem non operatur Iehovah; si fecit, quomodo nos iusti dici aut etiam posse credimus? Mirabile, perfectum, justum, justum et bonum, Creator noster; Praecepta nobis praebet explicans quomodo nos vult vivere sicut homines separati. Ut bonus pater, cum praecepta frangimus, poena est; ac severus est. Sed tamen, quia populum suum in tantum diligit, etiam viam in sua regula praebuit, ut ab illa poena redimeri possimus. Vere lex eius perfecta est; in ea tota est sua nobis provisio Deuteronomy 19:15 "Uno teste, ne unum quidem crimen coarguere debetis, sed duorum vel trium testium testimonium causae debet. Galatians 3:24-26 Itaque lex custos erat donec Christus venerit, ut ex fide justificemur. At ubi venit fides, jam non sumus sub custódo : in Christo enim Jesu (Messiá Jesu) omnes fílii Dei estis per fidem. Lex « peccati et mortis » nos deducit vel adducit ad Christum ostendens nos esse sub maledicto servituti. Nonnisi lex peccati et mortis nos docet nos maledictos et in servitutem, nos venire ad Messiam in fide Salvatorem nostrum. Sine ista scientia non haberemus rationem ad ipsum. Oportet ergo « maledictionem legis » vel « legem peccati et mortis » nos docere nos servituti esse (sub peccato — Rom 3, 20), ut « deducamus » nos ad Messiam. Docet nos fidem habere et confidere de perfecta eius gratia tanquam perfecto Verbi incarnati exercitatione, qui pro nobis in illa arbore factus est maledictus. Galatians 3:25 At ubi venit fides, jam non sumus sub custode. Nunc tempus est ad istam definitionem fidei reminiscendam. Fidei pars est credere quod verum est quod Verbum dicit. Verbum, quod Torah seu Lex Dei comprehendit, ostendit nos mortem meremur, quia peccavimus, et Pater nobis viam habet ut ab illa morte salvemur? Haec via est per fidem in Messiam, Verbum. Id est, via nostra salvandi est credendum quod peccavimus et meremur mortem, quia Verbum sic loquitur. Vera esse confidimus quod dixit Pater, ut justos sequamur Verbum ejus, et tunc facimus. Etiam Scripturae comprehendunt, ubi Iehovah dixit: Messiam nobis missurum, per quem salus fieri possit. Veritati illi committimus, et tunc vitam nostram quasi veram ostensionem, vel evidentiam, quod verum esse credimus, vivimus. Hoc est exercitium fidei nostrae in Verbo; per illam fidem et gratiam Iehovae salutem accipere possumus. Postquam fidem habemus, postquam mortem meremur et egere opus Christi redemptrici cognoscimus et fidem nostram in actum convertimus (oboedientiam nostram), sub maledicto non sumus (lex peccati et mortis). Priusquam fidem habeamus in Christum, eramus sub lege peccati et mortis, id est, post fidem, iam non sumus sub lege peccati et mortis. Lex peccati et mortis est tutor, custos. Iterum ad accuratiorem illius loci discussionem, videbis nostra dogmata "Tutor non amplius opus est, quia non sumus "sub lege" (peccati et mortis). Cum ad fidem venimus, intelligimus Messiam pro nobis luisse legis poenam. Incipis videre quomodo haec omnia cooperantur? Torah nobis definire datum quid esset peccatum, poena est peccandi quae mors est. Nemo potest occidi nisi duobus testibus. Ipse Iehovah unus est testis. Sed quid secundum? Revelation 21:1 Et vidi cælum novum et terram novam. et civitatem sanctam Hierusalem novam vidi descendentem de caelo a Deo paratam sicut sponsam ornatam viro suo 3 et audivi vocem magnam de caelo dicentem ecce Tabernaculum Dei est cum hominibus, et habitabit cum eis, et ipsi populus eius erunt, et ipse Deus cum eis erit eorum Deus. 4 et absterget Deus omnem lacrimam ab oculis eorum et mors ultra non erit, neque luctus, neque clamor, neque dolor erit ultra, quia prima abierunt. Isaiah 65:17 17 Ecce ego creo caelum novum et terram novam non recordabuntur, nec recordabuntur; Magnus Titulus

    The Millennial Kingdom. Mortal humans in the Millennial Kingdom Download Resurrected, glorified Saints. In the Millennial Kingdom Download Yehovah perfect Law Scripture outlines a comprehensive, theocratic legal system that governs the earth during the Millennial Kingdom. The foundational blueprint is that Torah goes forth from Mount Zion under the direct, righteous administration of King Yeshua (Isaiah 2:2–4; Micah 4:1–3). Rather than anarchy or a purely abstract rule, the prophets outline specific international, civil, ceremonial, and dietary statutes that will be kept across the globe. 1. International and Civil Law: Torah from Zion The global legislative and judicial center of the entire earth during the 1,000 years will be Jerusalem: Universal Disarmament and Ban on Warfare: National armies, weapons production, and warfare are legally outlawed across all nations (Isaiah 2:4; Micah 4:3). Weapons are mandated to be beaten into agricultural implements ("swords into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks"). Direct Judicial Verdicts by King Yeshua: International disputes between nations and peoples will no longer be settled through military conflict, treaties, or corrupt tribunals. Yeshua arbitrates and decides controversies between nations with perfect justice, equity, and righteousness (Isaiah 11:3–5). The "Rod of Iron" Enforcement: Open criminal conduct and willful disobedience are met with swift, unyielding divine justice (Psalm 2:9; Revelation 19:15). Prolonged spiritual rebellion among mortals results in immediate physical accountability (Isaiah 65:20: "the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed"). 2. Universal Worship and Sacred Calendar Laws Specific religious statutes apply not only to Israel, but to all Gentile nations across the earth: Mandatory Observance of the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot): Representatives from every surviving Gentile nation on earth must make an annual pilgrimage to Jerusalem to worship King Yehovah of Hosts and celebrate Sukkot (Zechariah 14:16–19). Penalty for Non-Compliance: Any nation that refuses to go up is struck with severe drought (withholding of rainfall) and plagues until they yield. The Seventh-Day Sabbath (Shabbat) and New Moons (Rosh Chodesh): The weekly Sabbath remains a commanded day of worship when the inner court's East Gate is opened and the people gather (Ezekiel 46:1–3). Isaiah 66:23 confirms global observance: "From one New Moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before Me, says Yehovah." Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread: Observed starting on the 14th day of the first month (Nisan) for seven days, with the Prince preparing designated burnt, grain, and sin offerings (Ezekiel 45:21–24). Total Ban on Idolatry and False Religion: Pagan altars, occult practices, false prophets, and idolatry are eradicated globally (Zechariah 13:2; Zechariah 14:9). Yehovah alone is acknowledged as King over all the earth. 3. Priestly, Ceremonial, and Temple Ordinances Ezekiel 40–48 details clear statutes that regulate the Millennial Temple and its ministers: Exclusivity of the Sons of Zadok: Only the priests descending from Zadok are permitted to draw near to Yehovah's altar to minister and offer the fat and the blood (Ezekiel 40:46; 44:15–16). Judicial and Educational Duties of the Priesthood: The priests are legally charged with teaching the people to discern between the holy and the common, and between the clean and the unclean (Ezekiel 44:23). In civil controversies, the priests stand as judges to render decisions based on Yehovah’s judgments (Ezekiel 44:24). Ceremonial Purifications (Kipper): Sacrificial offerings (burnt, peace, sin, and grain) are administered to cleanse physical fixtures (altar, gateposts, sanctuary) from the ceremonial uncleanness of mortal life (Ezekiel 43:18–27; 45:18–20). 4. Dietary and Purity Laws Physical distinctions of purity remain actively enforced among mortals: Clean vs. Unclean Distinctions: Priests explicitly instruct the mortal population on biblical purity and dietary standards (Ezekiel 44:23). Prohibition of Carrion: Priests and worshippers are forbidden from consuming any bird or mammal that dies naturally or is torn by beasts (Ezekiel 44:31). Prohibition of Swine and Abominations: Isaiah 66:17 specifically condemns the eating of swine’s flesh, mice, and unclean creeping things as an abomination before Yehovah. Clean Seafood Harvest: The healed waters of the Dead Sea support net fishing from En Gedi to En Eglaim, producing fish of the same kinds as the Mediterranean Sea (clean fish with fins and scales, Ezekiel 47:9–10). 5. Civil, Economic, and Land Laws Economic righteousness and property protections are enforced under the rule of the Prince: Honest Weights, Measures, and Currency: Standardization of commercial balances is strictly enforced: an honest ephah (dry measure), an honest bath (liquid measure), and an honest shekel without inflation or deceit (Ezekiel 45:10–12). Protection of Private Property: The Prince is expressly prohibited from seizing the people's land or forcing citizens off their family inheritance (Ezekiel 45:8–9; 46:18). Restoration of Tribal Allotments: The boundaries of the twelve tribes of Israel are permanently assigned and protected across the Holy Land (Ezekiel 47:13–48:29). 6. The Internalized Law of the New Covenant For redeemed Israel and the righteous, compliance with Yehovah's law is not mere outward legalism. Under the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31–34; Ezekiel 36:26–27), the Holy Spirit gives mortals a new heart and puts Yehovah's laws into their minds, enabling them to walk willingly in His statutes with gladness and peace. Yehovah Sacrifices The mention of animal offerings in the Millennial Temple (Ezekiel 40–48) centers on the holiness of Yehovah and the finished redemption accomplished by Yeshua the Messiah. Because Scripture emphasizes that Yeshua offered one sacrifice for sins forever (Hebrews 10:10–14), these millennial offerings do not provide spiritual or eternal salvation. Instead, the sacrifices described by Ezekiel serve three distinct, harmonious purposes during the 1,000-year reign: 1. Ceremonial Cleansing & Spatial Purification (Ritual Atonement) In Ezekiel, the Hebrew word translated "atonement" is kipper, which fundamentally means to cover, cleanse, or purge. During the Millennium, mortal human beings (who enter the earthly kingdom, marry, have children, and can die; Isaiah 65:20) will live in proximity to the manifest Shekinah glory of Yehovah dwelling visibly on earth: The Absolute Holiness of Yehovah: Yehovah is holy, and His manifest presence cannot dwell among ceremonial uncleanness or the natural contamination of mortal life. Purification of Physical Structures: In Ezekiel 43:20, 26 and Ezekiel 45:18–20, the blood is applied directly to inanimate objects—the horns of the altar, the four corners of the ledge, the doorposts of the Temple, and the gateposts of the inner court. Its purpose is to "cleanse" and "purge" the sacred space. Flesh vs. Spirit: Animal blood under the Old Covenant never removed eternal guilt; it provided outward, ceremonial purity for the flesh (Hebrews 9:13). In the Millennium, it functions as a ritual barrier, preserving the sanctity of Yehovah’s house so that a holy God can dwell among mortal mankind. 2. A Tangible Memorial of the Cross Just as the ancient offerings looked forward to the sacrifice of Yeshua in prophetic anticipation, Millennial sacrifices look backward in solemn commemoration: A Physical Memorial: In the present age, believers observe the Lord’s Supper with bread and the cup in remembrance of Yeshua's broken body and shed blood (1 Corinthians 11:24–26). In the Millennial reign, visible offerings serve a parallel commemorative purpose before the nations. Instruction for Mortal Generations: Billions of mortals will be born during the 1,000 years in a world where Satan is bound and the righteous rule of Yehovah prevails across the earth. Because these generations will not experience war or rampant evil, the stark, bloody reality of animal sacrifice will serve as an unmistakable visual lesson: It demonstrates the horrific nature and cost of sin before Yehovah. It reinforces that every blessing, life, and peace in the kingdom was purchased entirely by the blood of Yeshua, the Lamb of God. 3. Communal Worship, Fellowship, and Theocratic Tribute A significant portion of the offerings detailed in Ezekiel are peace offerings (shelem) and grain offerings (minchah): Fellowship Meals: Peace offerings were shared and eaten by the worshippers and the priests in joyful communion before Yehovah (Ezekiel 46:21–24). The outer courts of the temple contain dedicated kitchens specifically built for preparing these shared meals. Covenantal Expression : It provides redeemed Israel—restored to their ancestral land under the Davidic covenant—with a concrete way to honor Yehovah through priestly order and grateful praise. Global Pilgrimages: As foretold in Zechariah 14:16–19, the Gentile nations will journey up to Jerusalem year after year to worship King Yehovah of Hosts and celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), presenting their offerings in unified thanksgiving. What They Are vs. What They Are Not What Millennial Sacrifices Are NOT What Millennial Sacrifices ARE Not for the forgiveness of eternal sinsA memorial pointing back to Yeshua's finished redemption Not a replacement or competitor to Calvary A teaching tool for mortal generations born during the Millennium Not salvific (redemption remains entirely by grace through faith)Ceremonial decontamination (kipper) of the temple precinct before Yehovah Not a reinstatement of the Mosaic Covenant A distinct Millennial order administered by the faithful Sons of Zadok Yehovah Feast Days In the Millennial Kingdom, Scripture describes a restructured sacred calendar focused on the direct worship of Yehovah. Several ancient biblical convocations return, while others are deliberately omitted in light of fulfilled redemption. 1. The Major Annual Feasts In Ezekiel 45:21–25 and Zechariah 14:16–19, two annual pilgrimage feasts are explicitly commanded: Passover (Pesach) and the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Chag HaMatzot): Scripture: Ezekiel 45:21–24 Timing: Begins on the 14th day of the first month (Nisan / Abib) and lasts seven days. Observance: Unleavened bread is eaten throughout the week. Daily offerings of seven bulls and seven rams without blemish, a male goat for a sin offering, and accompanying grain and oil offerings are prepared by the Prince (Nasi). Significance: Originally memorializing Israel’s deliverance from Egypt, in the kingdom it endures as an everlasting memorial to Yeshua, the true Passover Lamb whose shed blood accomplished eternal redemption. The Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot / Feast of Booths): Scripture: Ezekiel 45:25; Zechariah 14:16–19 Timing: Begins on the 15th day of the seventh month (Tishrei) and lasts seven days. Observance: Daily offerings corresponding to those of Passover are presented before Yehovah. Global Mandate: Zechariah declares that survivors from all Gentile nations must travel up to Jerusalem annually to worship King Yehovah of Hosts and celebrate Sukkot. Any nation that refuses to go up will receive no rain and will face divine plague until they comply. Significance: It celebrates Yehovah dwelling physically and visibly in the midst of mortal humanity through King Messiah reigning from Mount Zion. 2. Regular Weekly, Monthly, and Seasonal Observances Alongside the annual pilgrimage festivals, Ezekiel details recurring cycles of regular worship: The Weekly Sabbath (Shabbat): Scripture: Ezekiel 46:1–5; Isaiah 66:22–23 The East Gate of the inner court remains shut during the six working days but opens on the Sabbath. The Prince presents a burnt offering of six lambs and a ram without blemish, and the people of the land worship at the entrance of the gateway. Isaiah 66:23 states that from one Sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship before Yehovah. The New Moon Celebrations (Rosh Chodesh): Scripture: Ezekiel 46:1, 6–7; Isaiah 66:23 The East Gate opens to welcome the beginning of each biblical month. Offerings consisting of a young bull, six lambs, and a ram are presented in worship before Yehovah. Sanctuary Consecration Days: Scripture: Ezekiel 45:18–20 On the 1st and 7th days of the first month, a young bull without blemish is offered to cleanse and ritually purify the sanctuary, the doorposts of the Temple, and the court gates. 3. Feasts Notably Absent from Ezekiel Several prominent Mosaic convocations from Leviticus 23 are not mentioned in the Millennial Temple: Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur): Omitted entirely from the annual calendar. Yeshua offered one all-sufficient sacrifice for sins forever (Hebrews 10:10–14). Repeating Yom Kippur for the eternal removal of guilt would run contrary to His finished work on Calvary. The Millennial purifications deal strictly with physical sanctuary holiness (kipper), not spiritual justification. Feast of Weeks / Pentecost (Shavuot): Not mentioned in Ezekiel's prophetic calendar. Historically connected to the wheat harvest and the initial outpouring of the Holy Spirit to birth the Church Age (Acts 2), that harvest is now complete. Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah): Not mentioned. The prophetic call of the trumpet signaling the regathering of Israel and the arrival of King Messiah has already taken place prior to the start of the 1,000-year reign. Summary of the Kingdom Calendar Cycle Weekly: The Seventh-Day Sabbath (Shabbat) Monthly: The New Moon (Rosh Chodesh) First Month (Nisan) : Days 1 and 7 (Sanctuary Purifications); Days 14 through 21 (Passover and Unleavened Bread) Seventh Month (Tishrei): Days 15 through 21 (Feast of Tabernacles / Sukkot, mandatory for all nations) In the Millennial Kingdom, Scripture distinction between the mortal resurrected, glorified saints. The saints enter the 1,000-year reign having already undergone the "First Resurrection" (Revelation 20:4–6) or translation (1 Corinthians 15:51–53; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17). They do not live as ordinary mortals; instead, they serve as the administrative, judicial, and priestly leadership of the global kingdom under King Yeshua and Yehovah. 1. Ruling, Judging, and Reigning with Christ The primary role assigned to glorified saints in the Millennium is co-regency—governing the nations alongside Yeshua: Enthroned with Judicial Authority: Revelation 20:4 states that thrones are set, judgment is committed to the saints, and they live and reign with Christ for a thousand years. The Promise to the Overcomers: In Revelation 2:26–27, Yeshua promises that whoever overcomes will receive authority over the nations to rule them with a rod of iron, sharing in the authority given to Him by His Father. Daniel's Prophetic Vision : Daniel 7:27 declares that the kingdom, dominion, and greatness under the whole heaven will be given to the saints of the Most High, whose dominion is an everlasting kingdom. Judging the World and Angels: In 1 Corinthians 6:2–3, the Apostle Paul points directly to this governing role, asking believers if they do not know that the saints will judge the world and even judge angels. 2. Concrete Administrative Appointments Scripture does not present reigning as symbolic or passive; it involves specific geographic and civic administration over mortal cities and regions: The Apostles Over the Twelve Tribes: Yeshua specifically promised His twelve disciples direct judicial authority over the restored tribes of Israel in Matthew 19:28 and Luke 22:29–30, stating they will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes. Authority Over Cities (The Parable of the Minas) : In Luke 19:17–19, faithful stewardship in this age translates to real civic responsibility in the Kingdom, with servants appointed over five or ten cities. 3. A Royal Priesthood The saints do not merely execute civil justice; they function as a royal priesthood bridging the presence of God and the mortal world: Priests to God and Christ: Revelation 20:6 states that those who take part in the first resurrection are holy and blessed, serving as priests of God and of Christ, reigning with Him for a thousand years. Kings and Priests on the Earth: Revelation 5:10 confirms that the redeemed are made kings and priests to God to reign on the earth. Resurrected saints assist in teaching Yehovah’s ways , discipling mortal nations, and guiding mortals into true worship as the law goes forth from Zion (Isaiah 2:2–4). 4. Physical Nature and Spiritual Condition The saints’ physical existence in the Millennium is fundamentally different from that of mortal humans: Glorified, Immortal Bodies: The saints have put on incorruption and immortality (1 Corinthians 15:42–54), patterned after Yeshua’s resurrected body (Philippians 3:20–21; 1 John 3:2). They are tangible and capable of speaking, eating, and interacting, yet completely free from sickness, fatigue, pain, or death. Neither Marrying Nor Dying: In Luke 20:34–36, Yeshua explains that while mortals in that age marry and have families, those counted worthy of the resurrection neither marry nor are given in marriage, nor can they die anymore, being equal to the angels and sons of the resurrection. Total Immunity from the Second Death: Revelation 20:6 specifies that over the glorified saints, the second death has no power. When Satan is loosed at the end of the 1,000 years to deceive the mortal nations (Revelation 20:7–9), the glorified saints remain entirely beyond temptation, deception, or danger. Contrast: Resurrected Saints vs. Mortal Inhabitants Body and Nature: Resurrected saints possess immortal, incorruptible, glorified bodies (1 Corinthians 15:52). Mortal inhabitants live in natural flesh-and-blood bodies (Isaiah 65:20). Lifespan: Resurrected saints live eternally and can never die (Luke 20:36; Revelation 20:6). Mortal inhabitants have vastly extended lifespans lasting centuries, but remain subject to physical death (Isaiah 65:20). Family Life: Resurrected saints do not marry or reproduce (Luke 20:35). Mortal inhabitants marry, bear children, and raise families (Isaiah 65:23). Kingdom Calling : Resurrected saints serve as kings, priests, and judges executing divine rule with Christ (Revelation 20:4–6). Mortal inhabitants live as citizens, farmers, builders, and worshippers under that rule. Final Rebellion: Resurrected saints are completely secure and immune to deception. Mortal offspring born during the Millennium still possess free will, and a portion will be deceived when Satan is released at the close of the 1,000 years (Revelation 20:7–8). What does Scripture say about daily life, lifespan, and family for mortal humans in the Millennial Kingdom? While resurrected and glorified saints possess immortal bodies (neither marrying nor dying, Luke 20:35–36), Scripture teaches that mortal survivors of the nations enter the Millennial Kingdom in natural, earthly bodies (Matthew 25:31–40; Zechariah 14:16). The Old Testament prophets—especially Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Zechariah—provide vivid details about what daily existence, lifespan, labor, and family look like for these mortal populations during the 1,000-year reign of Yeshua. 1. Lifespan and Physical Health During the Millennium, the curse on creation is substantially rolled back, returning human life expectancy to conditions resembling the pre-Flood era of the patriarchs. Reversal of Infant Mortality: "No more shall an infant from there live but a few days, nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days..." — Isaiah 65:20a Infant death, miscarriages, and early childhood loss will no longer be part of normal life. Every child born will have the opportunity to grow to full maturity. Centenarians Considered "Youth": "...For the child shall die one hundred years old, but the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed." — Isaiah 65:20b A person passing away at 100 years of age would be regarded as someone dying in their youth. Dying at that age is described as an anomaly tied to divine judgment on willful defiance under the King's righteous rule. Lifespans Like Trees: "For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people, and My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands." — Isaiah 65:22b Like deep-rooted, long-living trees (such as oaks or olive trees that live for centuries), mortals will routinely live for hundreds of years throughout the Millennium. Healing and Vitality: "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing." — Isaiah 35:5–6 Widespread disease, birth defects, and chronic disabilities will be removed as the supernatural blessing of Yehovah rests upon the earth. 2. Family Life, Marriage, and Children Unlike resurrected saints, mortal humans will continue to marry, form households, and raise families: Fruitful Generations: "They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth children for trouble; for they shall be the descendants of the blessed of Yehovah, and their offspring with them." — Isaiah 65:23 Parents will raise children without the constant fear of famine, war, kidnapping, or sudden calamity cutting their lives short. Peaceful Communities and Play: "Old men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each one with his staff in his hand because of great age. The streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets." — Zechariah 8:4–5 Scripture paints a picture of tranquil domestic safety—multi-generational families where great-grandparents sit in town squares while children play openly without fear of predators, crime, or violence. 3. Daily Work, Agriculture, and Economics The curse of frustrated, fruitless labor found in Genesis 3 is lifted. Labor remains, but it becomes deeply rewarding, stable, and productive: Secured Ownership and Enjoyment of Labor: "They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat..." — Isaiah 65:21–22a Throughout human history, war, invasion, unfair taxation, and predatory landlords frequently stripped working people of what they built. In the Kingdom, mortals permanently enjoy the physical fruit of their own hands. Abundant Agricultural Yields: "‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says Yehovah, ‘When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; the mountains shall drip with sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it.’" — Amos 9:13 Crops will produce so abundantly that the harvest season will run directly into the next planting cycle. Domestic Peace and Quiet: "Everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid; for the mouth of Yehovah of hosts has spoken." — Micah 4:4 The ancient idiom of sitting under one's own vine and fig tree describes self-sufficient private property, safety, and an absence of state tyranny or economic oppression. 4. Harmony in the Natural World Mortal humans will work and live in an environment where nature is no longer hostile: Tamed Animal Kingdom: "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them... The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den." — Isaiah 11:6–8 Carnivorous hostility ceases, venomous creatures pose no danger, and dangerous beasts become docile companions even around toddlers. Deserts and arid wastelands will blossom with cedar, acacia, myrtle, and olive trees, with fresh springs gushing in barren wildernesses (Isaiah 35:1–2, 7; Isaiah 41:18–19). Summary of Mortal Life in the Millennium Lifespan: Vastly extended to hundreds of years; child mortality eradicated; death at 100 considered premature or disciplinary. Family: Marriage and childbirth continue; generations grow up together in secure, stable homes free from war and terror. Daily Labor: Meaningful building and farming; complete protection of personal property and full enjoyment of one's harvest. Environment: Total ecological harmony, abundant rainfall, fertile land, and an animal kingdom stripped of predation and venom. Government: Direct equity and peace flowing from Mount Zion, where disputes are settled fairly without courts of corruption or military conflict.

The Disciples Kept the Sabbath 85 Times in the book of Acts The Sabbath as an Eternal Sign The Sign Between God and Man: The Sabbath was established as a covenant and a perpetual sign between God and His people (Exodus 31:13, Ezekiel 20:12). Yeshua’s Life and Authority His Weekly Custom: During His earthly ministry, Yeshua consistently kept the Sabbath, making it His regular custom to attend the synagogue on the seventh day (Luke 4:16). Lord of the Sabbath : Yeshua declared His supreme authority over the day, proclaiming that "the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath" (Matthew 12:8, Mark 2:28). The Crucifixion, Burial, and Resurrection Timeline (3 Days and 3 Nights) Wednesday Afternoon: Yeshua dies at the 9th hour (~3:00 PM) on the preparation day for the annual High Sabbath (Passover). He is placed in the tomb just before sunset, marking the beginning of the burial. Wednesday Sunset to Saturday Sunset (72 Hours): Night 1 / Day 1: Wednesday sunset to Thursday sunset (High Sabbath / First Day of Unleavened Bread) Night 2 / Day 2: Thursday sunset to Friday sunset (Regular preparation day; women buy and prepare spices) Night 3 / Day 3: Friday sunset to Saturday sunset (Weekly seventh-day Sabbath) Saturday at Sunset: Yeshua rises from the dead at the exact close of the 72-hour period, fulfilling the Sign of Jonah (Matthew 12:40)—a complete span of three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Scoring 10–12 Yes: Strong evidence of properly keeping the Sabbath. 7–9 Yes: Mostly keeping it but with some areas of compromise. 4–6 Yes: Partial or inconsistent observance. 0–3 Yes: Not properly keeping the biblical Sabbath. How "First Day of the Week" Entered the Text The phrase "first day of the week" found in modern English Bibles is not a direct translation of the original text. It is a calculated linguistic substitution designed to align the Scriptures with a Roman calendar system rather than the Creator's calendar. The Confrontation: "You base an entire doctrine of Sunday worship on a handful of resurrection verses, claiming the Master changed the day of rest. But you are basing your theology on a translation choices made centuries later. When you pull back the English cover and look at the original manuscripts, the phrase 'Sunday' or 'first day of the week' completely vanishes. Read Matthew 28:1 and John 20:1." The Verse: * Matthew 28:1 (Literal Greek): "Ὀψὲ δὲ σαββάτων, τῇ ἐπιφωσκούσῃ εἰς μίαν σαββάτων..." * King James Version (With added words): "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week..." The Shock: "The literal text completely dismantles the traditional Sunday narrative: The Original Greek: In every single resurrection account, the manuscripts do not contain the words for 'first day of the week.' The text explicitly reads mia tōn sabbatōn (μία τῶν σαββάτων), which literally translates to 'the first of the Sabbaths.' This is direct Hebrew covenant language referencing the countdown of the seven weekly Sabbaths leading up to Pentecost (Leviticus 23:15). The Ancient Translations: The earliest historical translations kept this link intact. Jerome’s Latin Vulgate (382 AD) rendered it literally as 'Una autem sabbati' ('The first of the Sabbath'). Wycliffe’s English Bible (1382) followed suit, translating it straight as 'one day of the sabotis' ('one day of the Sabbaths'). The 16th-Century Shift: The change occurred in the 1500s with William Tyndale and was later formalized by the King James Version in 1611. Translators swapped out 'Sabbath' for the idiom 'first day of the week' to match the Roman solar calendar. To force this interpretation, the KJV translators had to insert the words 'day of the' in italics, openly admitting those words do not exist in the Greek manuscripts. The Bottom Line: The phrase 'first day of the week' is a later human modification. The original accounts do not inaugurate a new day of worship; they explicitly anchor the resurrection timeline directly to the Hebrew Sabbath calendar." The Sign of the Sabbath Exodus 31:14 (Numbers 15:32–36) 12 And the LORD said to Moses, 13“Tell the Israelites, ‘Surely you must keep My Sabbaths, for this will be a sign between Me and you for the generations to come, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you. 14 Keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. (Anyone who profanes it must surely be put to death. ) "Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honoring the Lord's Day; and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be judaizers, let them be anathema from Christ." 1910 (Modern Doctrinal Exposition – The Convert’s Catechism): Peter Geiermann’s Catechism: Formally affirmed the Church’s exercise of ecclesiastical authority in altering the day of worship: Q: Which is the Sabbath day? A: Saturday is the Sabbath day. Q: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? A: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday. Present Official Doctrine (Catechism of the Catholic Church): Paragraph 2175: Summarizes the official theological rationale—defining Sunday as a distinct observance that supersedes and spiritually fulfills the seventh day: And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read. Luk3 4:16 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath . ACTS 1 The mark of God Is the Sabbath 777 is found on the Sabbath Genesis 2:1-3 2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation. There are three elements to a legal seal. The name, His Title, His territory Exodus 20:8-11 God seal/sign 8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God . On it, you shall not do any work , neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord he made (creator) heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Sabbatum 85 temporibus in solis actibus memoratur 37 Bible Vers Novum Testamentum tollit sabbatum? Hic dies requietionis, Iesus dicit, hominibus factus est (Marc. ii. 27). Iesus se Dominum sabbati profitetur. Hoc dominium sabbatum non tollit — cur enim Iesus aliquid aboleat, in quo se principem dicit? — sed potius eius vigorem ad vitam roborat. Sabbato et Resurrectione Nullus est locus in tota biblia, ubi invenies aliquos versus mutatos sabbatum septimam usque ad dominicam, cur non tibi molestum est, cum alium diem colas, quam diem, quem Deus sanctificavit, et reminisci? Quartum praeceptum est. Plerique Christiani ad Romanos 14 indicant textum sabbatum mutato argumento, tamen verbum sabbatum scriptum in libro non reperies. Ne erres, Deus sinet te exprobrare et non obedire. Permittet te sequi turbam et hominum traditiones. Ille te permittit peccare. Sed et dicit: Dies est adventus. Ut sementem feceris, ita metes! Interest notandum quod una tantum hebdomada est, quam Pater nominat, sabbatum, dies septimus. Omnes alii dies numeri sunt. Ezekiel 22: 26 Sacerdotes ejus (pastores tui) violaverunt legem meam, et sancta mea profanaverunt; inter sanctos et prophanos nihil discreverunt et inter immundum et mundum non docuerunt. et sabbata mea absconderunt oculos eorum, et ego pollutus sum in eis. Principes ejus in medio illius quasi lupi rapientes prædam ad effundendum sanguinem, et ad avaritiam vitam perdunt. Ezekiel 20:12et sabbata Mea dedi illis ut essent in signum inter Me et inter illos, ut scirent quod Ego Jehovah sanctificans illa. Quomodo potest quisquam sanctificari sine sabbato? Exodus 20:9 Memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices. Sex diebus operaberis et facies omnia opera tua; septimus autem dies sabbatum Iehovae Dei tui est. omne opus non facietis in eo: non facietis opus in eo, tu, non filius tuus, et filia, non servus, non ancilla, non iumenta, et non advena qui intra portas tuas est. Sex enim diebus fecit Dominus caelum et terram et mare et omnia, quae in eis sunt, et requievit in die septimo; Ideo Dominus benedixit diem sabbati et sanctificavit eum. 1 Peter 1:15 15 sed sicut qui vocavit vos sanctus, sancti et ipsi sancti in omni conversatione sitis. quia scriptum est: Sancti eritis, quia ego sanctus sum. Leviticus 20:26 Sancti eritis mihi, quia ego sanctus sum, Dominus. et posui vos a populis ut mei sint. "Iehovah hodie declaravit te populum suum, (Israël) peculium, sicut locutus est tibi, et custodire omnia mandata eius; et exaltabit te super omnes gentes quas fecit, ad laudem, famam et honorem; et eris populus consecratus Domino Deo tuo, sicut locutus est. Acts 20:6-7 Nos autem navigavimus a Philippis post azymorum diem, et post dies quinque Troade junctis aliis, ubi mansimus diebus septem. Prima sabbati, convenimus ad frangendum panem. Paulus autem loquebatur ad populum et ipse erat mecum in crastinum ut exiret in crastinum protraxit sermonem usque ad mediam noctem Versus 7, in anglis, quod apostoli prima sabbati convenerunt, ita ut multis, quod sabbatum nunc est prima sabbati. Cum hic versus dominicam tamquam novum sabbatum defendere soleat, Graecum versum inspiciamus, ubi versum 7 dicit « prima sabbati ». Graece enim, inquit, mia ton sabaton... mia ton sabaton, graecum est mia unum, non primum. Non possumus aliquid dicere quod non ... Verte vertit ut « unum sabbatum ». Pluralis. Non "Primo die sabbati". Singularis.». Ingens error hic est translationis qui pro veritate per annos aperte acceptus est. Hodierna ecclesia resurrectionem diei Iesu tamquam die dominico agnoscit. Videamus quo die Iesus resurrexit. Matthew 20:40 Sicut enim erat Jonas tribus diebus et tribus noctibus in ventre piscis magni, ita erit Filius hominis tribus diebus et tribus noctibus in corde terræ. John 11:9 Respondit Jesus: Nonne duodecim sunt horae diei? Si quis ambulaverit in die, non offendit, quia videt lucem hujus sæculi; ... Hic aliquid cogites. Quomodo accipis 3 dies et 3 noctes vel 72 horas a Parasceve usque ad dominicam matutinam resurrectionem? Si mathematis faceretis, Yultus resurrexit die Lune. Hodierna logica ecclesiae mutandi sabbatum sabbati in dominicam non tenet vera officia sicut Resurrectio die Lunae post meridiem celebranda est. Deus solus dedit diem septimum nominatus, reliqui omnes dies numerati sunt. Si attendas, videbis quod infirmum in fide edendi et accipiendi loquuntur, non vero de dubiis disputare. Sunt saltem X temporibus ejus mentionem in edit. Contextus hic ieiunat, non refert versus quo die ieiunare volueris. Iesus dicit cum ieiunamus, non si ieiunatis. Romans 14:5 Nam alius iudicat diem inter diem; alius cotidie aestimat. Unusquisque in suo sensu abunde sibi persuadeat. Matth. Amen, dico vobis, perceperunt mercedem suam. Tu autem cum ieiunas, unge caput tuum et faciem tuam lava, ne videaris ieiunans ab aliis, sed a Patre tuo, qui est in abscondito. Et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi. Psalm 35:13-14 Saccus cilicium; Jejuniis afflixi me ; Demisso capite oravi super pectus meum. Circuibam quasi dolens pro amico vel fratre meo; sicut maerens matrem suam, ego humiliatus sum maerens.

    Whoever denies all scripture denies God. Whoever says the old testmate was for the Jews is a false prophet. The entire bible is connected and It would be impossible for the Old Testament and the New Testament not to be only one Testmate. Jordan Peterson: "The Bible is the World's First Hyperlink Text" All Scripture is God-breathed Torah the first books in the Bible The first five books of the Bible are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. They are known as the Torah God's instructions of Love The all new Testmante books is founded on the Torah 2 Timothy 3:16 states, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness". This verse is often used to support the idea that God inspired the Bible. These men wrote the new testament Peter who were fishermen in Galilee Fishermen James and John: Brothers who were fishermen in Galilee Tax collector Matthew: he was a tax collector for the Roman EmpireTax Luke does not directly identify his profession. Tradition has it that he was a first-century physician. Mark ? Whoever denies all scripture denies God. Whoever says the old testament was for the Jews is a false prophet. 63,779 Cross-References I’d like to share with you one of the most amazing and awe-inspiring images I have ever seen. Period. Professor Jordan Peterson recently and brilliantly described the Bible as the first “hyperlinked text,” that is, the first text that complexly references itself throughout the entirety of its structure in a vast series of internal interconnections. Think of Wikipedia, in which the articles all reference and interlink to one another in a vast web of knowledge. The Bible is hyperlinked in the same way but for ancient stories and repositories of ancient myths, insights, narratives, wisdom, mystical poetry, and ethical theories. The difference was that instead of clicking, ancient readers would have to flip through the pages like a Choose Your Own Adventure Book. Advertisements Report this ad What does this amazing image show, you may wonder? It is truly mind-blowing when you fully grasp it. Consider this staggering fact: Every single one of the lines on the bottom of the image is a Biblical verse. The length of each line is proportionate to the number of times that verse is referred to in some way by some other verse in the Bible. In other words, this image is a map. It shows the 63,779 cross-references in the Bible, this massive sweeping text written over thousands of years by hundreds of people from a wide variety of different backgrounds in three different languages: Greek, Latin, and Aramaic. Starting at any one verse, imagine how many pathways you could take through all the interlinked verses through the text! There are nearly endless permutations and combinations and every verse and phrase is dependent on nearly every other verse and phrase to get the “full” meaning of what this sweeping collection of many books within a book says on any one subject… Christopher Harisson offers even deeper insight into this amazing diagram he created when he says that it “…started as a collaboration between Christoph Römhild and myself. Christoph, a Lutheran Pastor, first emailed me in October of 2007. He described a data set he was putting together that defined textual cross references found in the Bible. He had already done considerable work visualizing the data before contacting me. Together, we struggled to find an elegant solution to render the data, more than 63,000 cross references in total. As the work progressed, it became clear that an interactive visualization would be needed to properly explore the data, where users could zoom in and prune down the information to manageable levels. However, this was less interesting to us, as several Bible-exploration programs existed that offered similar functionality and much more. Instead we set our sights on the other end of the spectrum –- something more beautiful than functional. At the same time, we wanted something that honored and revealed the complexity of the data at every level –- as one leans in, smaller details should become visible. This ultimately led us to the multi-colored arc diagram you see below. The bar graph that runs along the bottom represents all of the chapters in the Bible. Books alternate in color between white and light gray. The length of each bar denotes the number of verses in the chapter. Each of the 63,779 cross references found in the Bible is depicted by a single arc – the color corresponds to the distance between the two chapters, creating a rainbow-like effect.” In short, the Bible is an important book. Indeed, it is one of the most foundational texts on which our culture was built, the massive powerhouse that inspired some of our most-exquisite literature, films, music, poetry, philosophers, and theologians, influences the lives of millions upon millions of people, a text for which countless people were paradoxically both baptized at birth and killed in the name of, and which represented the very deepest insights that human beings were able to come up with over thousands of years, many powerful insights of which still have something to say to us this day. And this point remains true even if we don’t read the Bible in a fundamentalist-literalist way, but rather take the majority of it as metaphorical and mythical with some intrusions of history throughout and a whole lot of cultural context infused into its nearly inexhaustible depths. It’s a really amazing and awe-inspiring book, to be sure, and with an amazing version like the Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible , which sheds light on the ancient cultures and contexts that inform its verses, can be a really fascinating and inspiring read.

    or the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want. …18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works so that no one can boast. 🏛️ What Does "Under the Law" Actually Mean? To understand why Paul said we are not "under the law," you have to look at the phrase scripturally, not culturally. In the Greek text, being "under the law" (upo nomon) carries a specific legal meaning: being under the condemnation and penalty of the law because you are a lawbreaker. Think of it like a modern traffic law: If you drive the speed limit, you are not "under" the authority of the flashing lights and the ticket book. You are walking in freedom. The law isn't chasing you. The exact second you choose to break the speed limit, you put yourself "under the law." You are now a criminal caught in the system, waiting for the penalty. Before you came into covenant through the Messiah Yeshua, you were a lawbreaker. You were trapped in protective custody under the law of sin and death (Galatians 3:23). You owed a blood debt you could not pay. When Yeshua died for you, His grace paid your penalty and pulled you out of that prison. He didn't delete the speed limit; He paid your ticket and set you free from the executioner! “Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.” — Romans 3:31 (NKJV) According to the clear blueprint of Scripture, receiving the true, empowering grace of God is not a passive event or a quick mental agreement. It is a profound, life-altering legal and spiritual transaction. True grace is an unearned gift, but it is exclusively given to a specific heart posture. The Scriptures lay down a direct, unbreakable sequence for how a person physically enters into this covenant and receives the gift of the Holy Spirit. This phrase likely references the famous biblical proverb, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." This theme of humility runs throughout scripture as a reminder of the peace that comes from recognizing our dependence on God rather than relying entirely on our own strength. [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ] Where it is found: You can read this exact sentiment in the New Testament books of James 4:6 and 1 Peter 5:5 , which both quote the Old Testament passage from Proverbs 3:34 . [1 ] What it means : Pride pushes people to rely entirely on themselves and act as their own ultimate authority. Because of this, scripture notes that God opposes or resists the proud. [1 ] The reward for humility: Those who are humble acknowledge their limitations and seek God. In return, they are met with His unearned favor, or "grace," which helps them overcome daily struggles and find spiritual rest. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ] 🛠️ The Scriptural Sequence to Receive Grace 1.Confront the Standard of the Word:The Diagnosis. You must look into the perfect mirror of God's Torah (His Law) to understand your true spiritual condition. Scripture states that "sin is the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). You must believe that you have broken His commandments, sinned against His holiness, and that you rightfully deserve the sentence of the law of sin and death (Romans 6:23). 2.Experience Godly Sorrow:The Broken Heart. Instead of making excuses, minimizing your actions, or defending your traditions, you allow the truth to smash your pride. You experience a deep, internal grief because you realize your lawlessness has offended the Creator and brought shame to His Name. This is Godly sorrow, which produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret (2 Corinthians 7:10). As the Psalmist records: "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart—these, O God, You will not despise" (Psalm 51:17). 3.Repent (Teshuvah):The Physical Turn. You must execute a radical, 180-degree physical turn. Repentance (Teshuvah) means you stop walking down the broad road of worldly customs, pagan traditions, and self-pleasing appetites, and you turn your face directly back toward the ancient paths of the Father's commandments. You actively cast the abominations out of your life, your home, your diet, and your calendar. 4.Surrender to the Messiah through Baptism:The Covenant Seal. You cast your entire life upon the unmerited mercy, favor, and blood of the Sovereign King, Yeshua. You acknowledge that His death paid the blood-debt you owed for your past lawlessness. You seal this commitment by being immersed in water (baptism) in the name of Yeshua Messiah for the forgiveness of your sins (Acts 2:38). This is where you physically "put on Christ," burying your old, rebellious nature and rising as a brand-new creation (Galatians 3:27). 5.Receive the Holy Spirit to Walk in Truth:The Empowered Life . Once you have repented and entered the covenant, the Father gives you the ultimate gift of grace: the Holy Spirit. The purpose of the Spirit is not to give you goosebumps or make you feel emotional; the purpose of the Spirit is to write the Torah directly onto your heart and mind (Hebrews 10:16), giving you the supernatural power, desire, and strength to physically do what the Word says and establish His Law in your daily walk (Romans 3:31). ⚖️ The Gatekeeper: Humility vs. Pride There is one supreme, universal spiritual law that dictates exactly who receives this gift and who is locked out. Scripture repeats this warning multiple times across both testaments: “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” — James 4:6 / 1 Peter 5:5 / Proverbs 3:34 The Proud Man defends his lifestyle, makes excuses for eating abominations, clings tightly to the annual pagan traditions of his ancestors, and argues with the plain text of Scripture. Because his neck is stiff, the Creator actively resists him, and he can never access true grace. The Humble Man hears the straight, uncompromised shout of the Word, falls on his face, confesses his lawlessness, and asks the King for instructions. Because his heart is soft, the Father pours out boundless grace upon him, lifting him out of the muddy pit of the world and placing his feet firmly on the path of stable, joyful obedience. Grace is entirely free, but it will cost you your pride, your worldly reputation, and your attachment to human traditions. If you want the true, life-saving favor of Yehovah today, humble yourself before the text, submit to the King, and start doing what His Word commands! God’s grace and His Spirit are deeply connected in scripture. The Holy Spirit is considered the very presence of God within a believer , and it is through this Spirit that we receive, understand, and apply God's unearned grace to our daily lives. [1 , 2 ] How Grace and the Spirit Work Together The Source of Grace: Grace is God's undeserved favor and love. It is a free gift given to us through faith in Christ. [ 1 ] The Spirit's Role: The Holy Spirit illuminates these truths, helping us grasp what God has freely given us. The Spirit is often called the "deposit" or guarantee of our salvation. [1 , 2 ] Evidence of the Spirit: When a person has the Spirit of God, their life is transformed. T his transformation produces what the Bible calls the "fruit of the spirit": love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. [1 , 2 ] By this connection, we know that God dwells within us and works through us. You can explore more about how the Spirit empowers believers on Desiring God . [1 , 2 ] Here is the final, binary (Yes/No) Grace Test to prove whether you are operating under true biblical grace or a lawless counterfeit. 1. Theological & Spiritual Meaning Divine Favor : In religious contexts grace is unearned, unconditional love and forgiveness. It is the free gift of salvation and spiritual strength. Mealtime Prayer: A short, spoken prayer of thanksgiving offered before or after eating is widely referred to as "saying grace". [1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ] 2. Behavioral & Interpersonal Poise and Elegance: The physical attribute of moving smoothly, naturally, and with dignified balance (e.g., a dancer's grace). Compassion: Interacting with others by showing patience, kindness, and extending forgiveness, especially during difficult situations. [1 , 2 , 3 ] 3. Practical & Legal Contexts Grace Period: A designated length of time past a due date (like a bill or insurance premium) where a late penalty or cancellation will not be applied. Privilege: In law, a concession, pardon, or temporary exemption granted as an act of mercy rather than a strict legal right. [1 , 2 ] ⚖️ The True Grace vs. Counterfeit Grace Test Instructions: Answer these final 3 diagnostic questions honestly to see how the word "grace" is being applied in your life. Question 1: The Function of Grace The Scriptural Law: “ For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age...” (Titus 2:11-12). The Question: What is grace actually teaching you to do on a daily basis? [ ] YES (True Grace): Grace acts as your trainer, giving you the power to say "No" to the desires of the flesh and the traditions of the world, driving you to live an upright lifestyle aligned with the Torah. [ ] NO (Counterfeit): You use the concept of grace to excuse or tolerate known compromises in your home, calendar, or diet, treating it as a safety net for ongoing disobedience. Question 2: The Relationship to the Law The Scriptural Law: “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it ?” (Romans 6:1-2) / “Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.” (Romans 3:31). The Question: Now that you have received salvation by grace through faith, what happens to your obligation to obey God’s written commandments? [ ] YES (True Grace): You recognize that grace delivers you from the condemnation of the law (the law of sin and death), which frees you to gladly establish, honor, and physically do the commandments in Spirit and Truth. [ ] NO (Counterfeit): You believe that being "under grace" means the Old Testament laws, dietary boundaries, and Sabbaths are "done away with," effectively using grace to render God's Spoken Word void. Question 3: The Threat of Turncoats The Scriptural Law: “For certain individuals... have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.” (Jude 1:4). The Question: When you are confronted with a hard, uncompromised command from the Scriptures (like purging pagan holiday traditions or unclean foods), what is your immediate defense? [ ] YES (True Grace): You tremble at the Word, humble your heart, and seek the Spirit's help to align your lifestyle with the command immediately. [ ] NO (Counterfeit): Your mind immediately jumps to the defense of "I'm saved by grace, not works," which is the exact mechanism Jude warns against—turning the favor of God into a shield to protect your own lawlessness. 🎯 The Conclusion of the Matter True grace is an empowering gift. It does not lower the Father's standard of holiness; it raises your ability to meet it. If your grace results in a clean home, a guarded Sabbath, a scriptural diet, and the keeping of His Appointed Times, you are walking in the true, unmerited favor of the Most High. If your grace allows you to comfortably keep the traditions of Rome, eat abominations, and ignore the Torah, you are caught in a delusion that scripture defines as a dead faith. The tests are finished, the standard is clear, and the witness of the text is absolute. May the true grace of our Master Yeshua give you the strength to stand with the obedient remnant until the day of His appearing! Here are 5 more direct, binary (Yes/No) questions to expand the Grace and Accountability Test. These focus specifically on the ultimate purpose of grace: moving a believer from a state of lawless rebellion to a life of physical, covenant-keeping action. 📋 The Simple Test: Part 4 (The Mechanics of Grace ) Question 4: The Power to Perform The Scriptural Law: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:10). The Question: Do you view grace as a passive legal status that merely keeps you out of hell, or do you view it as the active fuel that enables you to perform the "good works" explicitly outlined in the Father's Law? [ ] YES (True Grace): You recognize that grace was given so that your hands and feet could physically walk out the ancient paths and commandments God prepared from the beginning. [ ] NO (Counterfeit): You treat grace as an end in itself, believing that as long as you have the right theology, actual physical compliance with God's laws is optional or secondary. Question 5: The "Sin is the Transgression of the Law" Rule The Scriptural Law: “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” (1 John 3:4). The Question: When you talk about needing "grace for your sins," do you define sin strictly the way the Bible does (breaking the written Torah), or do you use a human, emotional definition of just "being a bad person"? [ ] YES (True Grace) : You use the scriptural definition. You know exactly what commands you broke (e.g., breaking Sabbath, eating unclean), which makes your repentance specific, urgent, and physical. [ ] NO (Counterfeit): You keep your understanding of sin vague and generalized, which allows you to feel "covered by grace" without ever having to stop specific lawless habits. Question 6: The Trampling of the Son The Scriptural Law: “Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?” (Hebrews 10:29). The Question: If you willfully continue in a practice after the written Word has clearly shown you it is an abomination (like eating swine's flesh or celebrating pagan-rooted dates), what are you doing with the blood of Christ? [ ] YES (True Grace): You tremble at this warning. You immediately drop the behavior because you refuse to insult the Spirit of grace by using the Messiah’s death as a license to keep breaking His Father's laws. [ ] NO (Counterfeit): You continue the behavior anyway, assuming the blood of the covenant automatically covers willful, ongoing rebellion because "no one is perfect." Question 7: The Fruit Inspection The Scriptural Law: “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” (Matthew 7:19-20). The Question : If grace is truly living inside you through the Holy Spirit, it must produce visible, physical fruit that looks like the Messiah's lifestyle. Does your daily lifestyle look like the Torah-observant walk of Yeshua? [ ] YES (True Grace): The fruit is evident. Your calendar, your kitchen, your speech, and your behavior have been structurally altered to match the Master's walk. [ ] NO (Counterfeit): Your fruit matches the culture around you. You look, eat, and celebrate just like the world, using the word "grace" to explain away the lack of biblical fruit. Question 8: The "Not Everyone Who Says to Me" Standard The Scriptural Law: “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. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name...’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” (Matthew 7:21-23). The Question: When you stand before the judgment seat, on what basis do you expect to enter the Kingdom? [ ] YES (True Grace): You trust completely in the grace of the Messiah, which successfully led you to stop practicing lawlessness and instead do the explicit will of the Father. [ ] NO (Counterfeit): You rely on your verbal professions ("Lord, Lord"), your religious activities, or your church attendance, while continuing to live a lifestyle that ignores the written commandments. 🏁 The Ultimate Division True grace is not a tool used to bypass t he Torah; it is the supernatural power that brings you into subjection to it. Every YES is a declaration that the King's authority is absolute over your flesh. Every NO is a warning light that a counterfeit, lawless grace is still comforting you on the road to the harvest of fire. Turn the wheel completely while the gate is still open! 🐐 1. Stumbling in Weakness (Where Grace Abounds) The Father understands that we are dust, and that unlearning the lawless habits of the world takes time. If a person has a sincere heart to obey the Torah, but they slip up due to weakness, ignorance, or an accidental oversight, grace does not leave them. “My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Yeshua Messiah the righteous.” — 1 John 2:1 (NKJV) In this case, grace is actively working. The Holy Spirit convicts the person’s heart, they experience Godly sorrow, they confess the specific sin, and they physically correct their behavior. Grace remains good because the person is submissive to the discipline of the house. 🐂 2. Walking in Rebellion (Where Grace is Cut Off) The line is crossed when a person receives the knowledge of the truth, looks directly at what the written Word says, and chooses to keep sinning anyway because it is popular, comfortable, or culturally normal. Scripture defines this as presumptuous sin—sinning with a high hand. When a person does this, God does not just passively watch; a precise spiritual hardening takes place. The author of Hebrews lays down the terrifying legal reality of what happens when a believer chooses ongoing, willful lawlessness: “For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment...” — Hebrews 10:26–27 (NKJV) If there is no longer a sacrifice covering you, it means grace has been removed. You have chosen to walk out from under the Messiah’s blood and back into the prison of the law of sin and death. ⚠️ The Three Steps to the Total Removal of Grace When a believer starts sliding backward into the traditions of the world or the appetites of the flesh, the Father typically follows a clear, merciful, yet severe process before grace is completely extinguished: Step 1: Holy Vexation and Conviction The Holy Spirit stirs up trouble in your conscience. Your prayers feel blocked, your peace disappears, and the written Word starts to bite whenever you read it. This is God’s grace trying to pull you back. If you harden your neck here, you move to Step 2. Step 2: Severe Divine Discipline The Father begins to physically shake your life to wake you up. He may allow financial distress, family friction, or the loss of worldly comforts to show you that Egypt has nothing for you. As Hebrews states: "For whom the Lord loves He chastens..." (Hebrews 12:6). This discipline is a severe form of grace designed to smash your pride. Step 3: Giving Over to a Reprobate Mind If a person fights through the conviction, ignores the discipline, and insists on keeping their pagan traditions, their unclean foods, or their worldly compromises, the Father will eventually lift His hand completely. He stops correcting them, stops disciplining them, and hands them over to their own delusions. “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting.” — Romans 1:28 (NKJV) When God "gives someone over," it is the ultimate removal of grace. They can now sin comfortably without feeling any guilt, thinking they are perfectly fine, completely unaware that they are tracking straight toward the harvest of fire detailed in Isaiah 66. Question 13: What Happens When You Twist the Wheel? The Setup: David prayed a critical prayer in Psalm 19:13: “Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me.” The Question: When the light of the Torah exposes a specific sin or worldly tradition currently sitting in your home, what is your immediate, physical reaction? [ ] YES (Under Active Grace): Your heart breaks, you take immediate accountability, and you physically cast the compromise out of your gates, proving that the Spirit of grace is alive and ruling your flesh. [ ] NO (Risking the Removal of Grace): You pacify your mind with excuses, delay the physical cleaning of your house, or assume that "God understands my situation," stepping directly onto the dangerous path of willful defiance. 🏁 The Summary Line God does not remove grace because you are imperfect; He removes grace when you become unteachable. If you can look at a command and refuse to change your lifestyle to match it, you are insulting the Spirit of grace. Turn the wheel completely while you still feel the sharp bite of conviction—because the only thing worse than the discipline of the Father is His silence.
