The Mark of YHVH












 

The Torah, which is made up of the first five books of the Pre-Messianic Scriptures, forms the boundaries that our Loving Father put in place to help His children be Set Apart unto Him.  It is within the Torah that He defines love and sin, righteousness and unrighteousness.  But does the Torah still apply to people today?  Or is this just a set of antiquated rules that applied to Israel in the past?  Perhaps these laws of love and right ruling only apply to Israel?  Or does the man-made doctrine of “rapture” render these questions immaterial? In these latter days, these are questions deserving of some thought.

 

To start, let’s look at what Abba YHVH has to say about these latter days we are now in.  In the Fifth Gospel, the Book of Revelation, the term “works” appears 18 times.  Seventeen of these times “works” is referring to what man has done.  Please note, what man has DONE, not only what man has believed!  Remember that even the demons believe and tremble. 

 

What are man’s works that Abba YHVH is referring to here?  Is He referring to how many committees one has served on at church, or how much one has tithed?  Or perhaps, is He referring to how many church services, Sundays, Wednesdays and otherwise one has attended?  His children will find the answer in Revelation 22:14 “Blessed are those doing His commands, so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of life, and to enter through the gates into the city.”

 

His Commands can be found in the Torah!

 

Please remember that the gates to the city are each named for one of the twelve tribes of Israel.  No gate references a particular religion, denomination or church.

 

As to the man-made doctrine of “rapture”, which states that the believers will be taken out of this world prior to the trouble, a search through Scripture, while letting Scripture interpret Scripture, will show that whenever someone is taken out of this world, he is not taken to be with Abba YHVH.  What follows are just two of the many verses that speak to who will be taken out and to where.

 

·       Mishle (Proverbs) 2:22 But the wrong shall be cut off from the earth, and the treacherous ones plucked out of it.

·       Luke 17:36-37 “Two shall be in the field, the one shall be taken and the other shall be left.”  And they answering, said to Him, “Where, Master?”  And He said to them, “Where the body is, there also the eagles shall be gathered together.”

 

Therefore, all of man’s arguments as to if Torah still applies, and if so, to whom, have been answered by Him very simply.  The rest is up to us.  Do we follow His Simple Ways, or do we continue to look to man for answers that are only, and readily, available from the Author of Truth.

 

The time has come for all to make their choice as to whom they will follow.  Continued indecision in whom one follows is also a decision.  The time is at hand for us to pay the price for the choice we have made, or for the choice we have refused to make.
