Elohim has always spoken audibly to his faithful people. But stiff-necked people cannot turn their necks to hear. Week after week they file to the front of the pulpit, introduction, tears in their eyes, hands lifted high, voices trembling, crying for forgiveness they never seem to receive. They leave the service glowing, saying, “that was powerful, the Spirit was here”, while wiping their faces dry. Those tears are guilt. Guilt over disobedience. Guilt that has no name because it is too old, too deep. The Bible is plain: that weight lifts the moment obedience lands, obeying all ten of them (commandments). They live in these pagan churches, going every Sunday, living a quarter of their life in there, doing their own services, preaching their own gospel, week after week after week, devoting their entire life to man-made truth. They would rather cry in the lights than kneel in silence in the dark. Elohim keeps sending messengers. One after another, after another. Each points to the ten. Each is rejected.
The primary reason individuals fail to hear the voice of Elohim stems from impatience in studying and believing the scriptures. Rather than trusting the sacred texts, they hastily acquire books, mostly purchased from unfamiliar authors, placing greater faith in those writings than in the scriptures themselves. Alternatively, they rely on social media posts from strangers on social media platforms, without knowledge of their spiritual walk, conduct, or commitment to the scriptures. People observe one another and imitate the masses instead of focusing on Yeshua, who instructed that they should look to him as Moses lifted up the serpent on the pole, signifying that when he is lifted up, all should direct their gaze solely to him. His words reside exclusively in the scriptures, proclaiming what his Father declared in the older writings, as it is written that He would place His words in his mouth. Today, people glance at one another to discern trends. If their pastor follows a path, they follow suit. Yet the essential issue persists: they do not concentrate on Elohim Himself but on mere mortals (John 3:14, Numbers 21:8-9, Deuteronomy 18:18).
Many neglect to consult various translations, though it is vital to examine more than one. Numerous translations employ paraphrased terms, omitting certain words in some instances or inserting others. For the true meanings of words, rather than relying on Strong’s Concordance or resources displaying images of ancient manuscripts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls or Codex Vaticanus, available on dedicated websites, they defer to others’ interpretations, accepting and disseminating them without genuine comprehension of the original intent.
Because they do not observe the commandments, Elohim will not speak to them. This forms the foundational requirement for those who have not yet heard Him: adhere to the Ten Commandments. Yet most uphold only nine, influenced by the spirit of the Antichrist. By disregarding the Sabbath, they usher in the Antichrist. The scriptures declare that those who receive the mark of the beast shall buy and sell. Examining references to buying and selling in the scriptures, when permitted or prohibited, directs one to the Sabbath. The people of Elohim refrain from buying or selling on the Sabbath, thus they cannot participate without the mark. However, those bearing the mark of lawlessness will engage in commerce on the Sabbath. This is precisely the nature of the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:16-17, Nehemiah 13:15-22).
Elohim proclaimed this as a sign between Him and His people, specifically when addressing the Sabbath. Let us be forthright: He designates it as a sign between Him and them, and it is the sole commandment concerning merchandise, buying, and selling (Exodus 31:13, Ezekiel 20:12).
This constitutes the central dilemma we confront. The majority of worldly individuals abstain from murder not out of honor for Elohim, but from fear of imprisonment. They likewise avoid theft to evade courts and incarceration. In essence, even those apart from faith adhere to select commandments while rejecting others. Now, let us consider contemporary religions.
They profess to honor the commandments, yet they observe only nine, not all ten. Which one do they neglect? The Sabbath alone. Now, examine these two groups: the pagans and modern Christians. Both select which commandments to obey. However, they unite in refusing the Sabbath. This is why Elohim declared it a sign between Him and His people, for only His people will honor the Sabbath, the fourth commandment. Solely His people obey all ten. The commandment upon which all agree to disobey, serving as the sign between Him and His people, is the Sabbath. It is distinctly the seventh day, the only day He named. Among the seven days, the seventh alone bears the name Sabbath. He named no other day of the week, calling it Shabbat.
Only when the Ten Commandments are fully operative in one’s life and wholly embraced will Elohim send the Spirit. These represent the minimal commandments. If one obeys the Ten Commandments from the heart, even if not perfectly at first, yet recognizing their importance, and strives to fulfill them according to the scriptures without ignoring any, He will dispatch the Spirit for perfect guidance. This extends not only to these commandments but also to embracing the festivals and His dietary laws, which are exceedingly vital to obey. The Spirit’s purpose is to refine understanding and impart greater insight once obedience to the foundational Ten Commandments begins.
One might perceive Shabbat as more significant than the others, but that is an incorrect view. All are equally important. Yet Shabbat stands prominent now because Elohim, through His words, appeared to forewarn of this occurrence. When He commands, “Remember the Sabbath,” why include “remember”? He knew the people would forget. Yeshua, upon His arrival, stated, “I did not come to abolish the law or the prophets, but to fulfill.” He foresaw that people would assume His coming annulled His Father’s Sabbath or ended it. Thus, He cautioned, “Do not think that.” These people lack understanding. They are stiff-necked. Because Elohim and Yeshua knew, these verses emphasize the matter, foreseeing today’s world where individuals selectively choose commandments and expect Elohim to accept their worship forcibly (Exodus 20:8, Matthew 5:17-18).
Numerous denominations proliferate daily due to disagreements among people. Perhaps one glances askance at another, prompting a new rule: one must not look thus. Instantly, another church emerges, another denomination. This is utter nonsense. His instructions are straightforward: obey Shabbat and all ten commandments. That suffices. Upon such obedience, He will send His Spirit, not prior.
These false denominations, churches, and blind leaders cannot experience the scriptures’ promises, though they believe the scriptures to be true, which is commendable. Yet, due to noncompliance, they receive none of the promised blessings. Consequently, they invent practices: uttering nonsense termed tongues. Praying for others as the scriptures instruct. Some churches employ actors to feign deliverance from demons during exorcisms, a deception exposed repeatedly. This erodes belief. Thus, churches devise spectacles: theatrical performances, larger screens, grander edifices to attract attendees for tithes, all because they fail to receive scriptural promises through disobedience.
They read the newer writings, wherein Yeshua merely reiterates the Torah’s teachings. Yet they avoid studying the Torah because blind leaders persuade them that the Old Testament and its laws are abolished. Still, they acknowledge murder as wrong, and a murderer does not follow Elohim. That prohibition resides in the Ten Commandments. The scriptures affirm that not one jot or tittle shall pass until all is fulfilled, meaning until heaven and earth vanish. We yet dwell on earth, so fulfillment remains incomplete for us. People misunderstand this. Yeshua fulfilled it through His death, receiving His reward. Each must fulfill His teachings as an example. By emulating Him, His Spirit strengthens within us. This signifies entering heaven through the Messiah, via His words, not merely observing. To claim He accomplished it, exempting us, is absurd and unscriptural (Matthew 5:18, Exodus 20:13).
With denominations arising daily over trivial disputes, perhaps disliking another’s shoe color, thus mandating against it, and so forth, they amplify dramas, performances, and emotions. They heighten sentimentality, hoping newcomers imitate, not from genuine feeling but denominational norm. For instance, speaking in tongues is forbidden in many churches (though it should never be prohibited), as they inwardly recognize it as fabrication, mere emotion. Some run inside the church like running in a marathon, unmentioned in scriptures as Holy Spirit manifestation. No scriptural account depicts fainting before Elohim or Yeshua, with others lifting or blanketing them. Peter’s encounter with the Lord prompted, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man.” No fainting occurred. These unscriptural acts dishonor the true Elohim. The practices in these churches, dances, pulpit gyrations resembling frivolous figures, aim to attract attention through dramatization and theater, drawing crowds. Essentially, they form communities sharing preferences, unrelated to Elohim, salvation, or true religion (Luke 5:8).
Many people can’t even speak about this for lack in discernment, which is good, they shouldn’t speak about things they know nothing about. However, for those who know, scriptures demands true followers to expose wickedness. This is biblical.
Simple, this is part of Elohim‘s character. This is how he deals with such people who work hard at changing his character to something more tolerable to them, simply because they can’t stand him. They are wicked, through and through.
2) And the revolters have gone deep into slaughter, but I will discipline all of them. 3)I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, O Ephraim, you have played the whore; Israel is defiled. 4) Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. For the spirit of whoredom is within them, and they know not the Lord. 5) The pride of Israel testifies to his face; Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in his guilt; Judah also shall stumble with them. 6) With their flocks and herds they shall go to seek the Lord, but they will not find him; he has withdrawn from them. 7) They have dealt faithlessly with the Lord; for they have borne alien children. Now the new moon shall devour them with their fields.
John 9:41 If you were blind, you wouldn’t be guilty, Yeshua replied. But you remain guilty because you claim you can see.
Shalom!
