Revolution

Yah own's this Revolution
He's gonna see you and me thru
Don't you worry
little brother, little sister
We come from generations of overcomers
He was the first and we are His children
A race of overcomers
We be steadfast
We'll be standing long after the trouble has come and gone
This Revolution has a reward for those that stay strong
thru the pain, the prisons, the lock-downs, the heartbreaks,
the killings, the miscarries, the disappointments, and the dissolution
we( we who overcome) know that after the suffering is joy-
unspeakable, unsearchable, never heard of before, nor seen.
Yah's got this Revolution.
John 16:33

Be Holy

Shalam, brothers and sisters, I wanted to expound on the following three scriptures from 2 Peter 3:9.10.11 regarding the last days and how we should to live during them.
 I will provide reference scriptures to help explain some key points and terms in breakdown to help increase the understanding of these scriptures.

2 Peter 3:9

The backdrop of this scripture is found in the verses above it- 2 Peter 3:1-8- this will help us understand the context of the verse we want to breakdown. In backdrop, Peter explains that the believers in God and Christ must have knowledge and faith in the holy scriptures and the commandments of the apostles as their first priority in establishing their faith. This is because in the last days the truth of God would be greatly compromises and discredited by a people who would rise up and consider it foolishness and would mock at it. These people are the children of wrath or of the devil spoken of in the scriptures, who would appose everything related to God-His words, His prophecy, and his people ( Col. 3:5-6, Rev. 21:7-8).
The argument that they attempt to use in order to discredit God's word is the length of time that has past without any change in the world per the establishment of the Kingdom of God. They argue that mankind continues live as it has always lived, with ruling nations, wars, buying and selling, and generations coming and going. They say God has not intervened nor will He ever do so.
   But they are ignorant, Peter states, of the history of God's mighty acts in the events on earth, which is in agreement with His words. He reminds them that is was God who destroyed the first civilization of mankind that descended from Adam with  the greatest flood ever recorded in history; because they doubted God's power and sovereignty on earth and gave themselves over to evil . And the generations in the last days disregarding this fact, according to Peter, would still continues to imitate ways if ungodly men, even up to the day of Christ's return.
Hence, God has reserved this current wicked civilization for destruction by fire from heaven and from the nuclear bombs He cause to be created for this purpose in the final judgement; because of their sins against Him ( Zep. 3:8, Rev. 17:16,17,18). According the the scriptures Christ will return to make war against them and with fire will he to punish them. And at the end of the war God will cause his all enemies, who doubt Him and refuse His truth, to destroy themselves by their own hands  via their nuclear bombs.
Furthermore, regarding the length of time, God states that time is actually shorter than we think- in fact one thousand years in human time is only a day in heaven . Peter does not want us, who believe, to be ignorant of this crucial fact. Because we  too can become cynical like these wicked people who doubt God, due to the length of time that has past without the revelation of His holy kingdom and so rebel. But, this is actually due to a  lack of understanding of God's measurement of time.  Human history is very short when comparing to time in heaven . For example, it has only been two days in heaven since Jesus Christ completed his ministry on earth and approximately two thousand years on earth. In heaven time is moving faster than on earth. Hence, why the prophets and apostles say repeatedly that Christ is returning soon.
Now with this understanding,  we can understand the context of 2 Peter 3:9 and it's saying- "the Lord is not slack concerning his promise." Time is moving rapidly in heaven, moving ever closer to the fulfillment of all God's prophecies. We must understand that God is the master of all time and has determined the set times for all His prophecies to come to past on earth, even the end of this civilization and the new world He has promised to bring into existence for all His faithful saints as a reward( Matt. 5:5,10, Micah 4:8, Dan. 7:27). His promises will come to pass regardless if we doubt or feel it's been to long and therefor it wont happen ( Luke 12:45-46).
God is not negligent in this matter of establishing His kingdom. He has moved time and history steadily along towards it's establishment. He prophesied to Adam that His Messiah would come to redeem all the faithful people that believed in Him and judge this world, and gather all things to Him( His divine Kingdom) ( Gen. 3:15, 49:10-12). God, also told Noah that He would no more destroy the earth with water again. But revealed to His prophets that the final judgement  would be with fire( Gen. 9:8-11, Is. 13:9-11, Zep. 3:8). And again, He prophesied that He would take a people for Himself out of the coming judgement, just as He did with Noah and his family-He will save a remnant. These are His faithful people, who would turn from sin and evil and believe on Him through His Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth(Gen. 9:26, 12:1-3, Gal. 3:8-9). Therefore, time is used as a tool by God for His purposes and as an opportunity for His people to draw closer to Him through the process of repentance from the rebellion that is in the world through wickedness.
The fact that the end has not come yet is actually a sign of God's patience or long-suffering towards His people (states in the above scripture), who would return to God. These people know that something is not right in the world, that there must be a better way for a man to live instead of cheating, lying stealing murdering, and being consumed with only their own selfish desires; because God has put in their heart to desire righteousness and justice. They can feel it, through God, that there must be something better than  this current world order. However, they may not have full truth of God  yet found in the holy scriptures( Is. 60:2, Eph. 2:1-5). They too are susceptible to being seduced by false teachings about God and His word.  But, the gradual progression of time and history will bring forth God's true teachers to help restore his saints to the true path( Rev. 14:1,4-6, Matt. 24:14). And this also is according to the prophecy ( Rom. 10:14-15, Jer. 3:15, Jer. 23:3-4).  But many with doubt, out of ignorance and pride, regarding the prophecies. But know for certain that  the end will surely come just as it prophesied to come in the day's of Noah ( 1 Thess. 5:1-2, Matt. 24:37).

2 Peter 3:10

How will the last judgement or day of the Lord come? Suddenly, says the scripture, like a thief in the night. The prophecy states that most of mankind would be so consumed in their own pursuits of power, pleasures, wars, godlessness, and survival in the last days that they will become convince that there is no God or even the  hope of His coming kingdom( Matt. 24:37-39, 2 Tim. 3:1-4, 2 Thess. 2:11-12, 1 Thess. 5:3). Nevertheless, it will surely arrive at it's appointed time according to the word of God. Because man's disbelief will not make the faithfulness of God to fail(Rom. 3:3-4, 2 Tim. 2:13, Heb.10:35-39).
This great judgement of God will be with fire and not water or the flood as He told Noah. This fire will be so intense that everything will melt before it-the very elements will melt, saya the above scripture.
But, is this judgement  referring to the entire globe being on fire or a specific place of judgement? A  set place of judgement is what is determined for this great demonstration of God's wrath with fire. However, the rest of the world will be afflicted with wars, plagues, and famines at that time. But  the place of fiery judgement is Babylon the Great.  Because she is the little horn that came out of the fourth beast in Daniel 7: 7-8, and would lead the whole earth into an uprising against God and Christ( Dan. 7:25, 2 Thess. 2:3-4, Rev. 18:2-3).  She will deceive them into believing the lie that they are capable of overthrowing God and His angels. Therefore, God has reserved her to be burned and show all His great power and wrath in her(Rom. 9:22, Deut. 32;39-42).
This little horn, the great Babylon, is America, who came out of the fourth beast or fourth world empire and is a remnant of the Greco-Roman empire. However, her rebellion against God will not be  successful. Because Christ will return to make war with her and all her duped allies and overcome them at the battle of Armageddon ( Dan. 7:9-12, Is. 66:15-16, Matt. 13:49-50, Rev. 19:19-21).  After this, the Bible states that the allies of the Beast will turn and burn America according to the intent of God, who has put it into their minds to burn her with fire- nuclear bombs (Rev. 17:16-17, Obadiah 1:7, 18).
As for the rest of the earth, God states the nations and kingdoms that are left who followed the beast will be brought under the authority of Christ( 1 Cor. 15:24-25). And at that time they learn the true way to righteousness and not the lies taught them by the Beast and the Devil, their spiritual ruler ( Dan. 7:12, Is. 60:3, Zech. 14:16-18, Is. 2:1-4, Rev. 21:24-27) ( Acts 26:16-18, 2 Tim. 2:25-26, Rev. 18:2-3). Also, this coming kingdom of God will be administered from Jerusalem in the land of Israel, where the throne of Chris and the kingdom of his holy people Israel will be established( Matt. 19:27-28, Luke 22:28-30, Acts 1:6, Rev. 1:5-6,7, Ezekiel 37:27-28). The current world as we know it will be brought to an end according to the word of God in due time- which is coming faster than we all think.

2 Peter 3:11
So then, how should we, who believe and trust in the word of God, having understanding of the coming visitation and final judgement of God, live in the last days? We should live in a holy manner at all times! Holiness is defined as living in obedience to God's laws, instruction, and commandments with faith in Him and in His word. In seeking  to live in obedience to God, we purify ourselves from sin and the evil that it produces in us (Col. 3:5-6, 1 John 3:2-6, John 15:3).
We should continually strive to live a holy life before God and Christ, while we wait on His arrival. This means we should endeavor to live in a pure and righteous way among our fellow believers and even among those that don't believe yet( 1 Peter 2:11-12, Matt. 5:14-16, Phil. 2:12-15). In the end we all will come to the obedience and acknowledgement of the one true God and His Messiah( 1 Tim. 2:4-6, Is. 66;23, Rev. 21:23-24). We, who know God, should be examples of God's light and holiness in world. Our life then becomes a demonstration of our obedience to the word and instructions of God. And not only this but our obedience helps us to escape the destruction that is coming to the world because of it's sin and wicked rebellion from God.  It is our obedience and faith that  gives us hope to endure unto the new world God has prepared for His people that followed Him.
We are taught in the writings of the prophets, Christ, and the apostles to constantly endure in the love of each others, especially as the time of the end draws closer.  We love each others when we practice His laws among ourselves out of a sincere heart ( 2 John 1:5-6). This is encouraged because it is actually a sign that we are the children of God ( John 13:34-35). And as His children, we are to carry out His laws with  mercy and truth towards each others( Romans 13:8-10, John 1:17, 2 Tim. 2:25-26). We should strive to practice abstinence  form telling lies to each others( especially teaching false religions and doctrines), murder, robbery, adultery, and the lusting after worldliness, or any other wicked thing that is in apposition to God's holy law or word( 1 Tim. 1:8-11).
God directly commands His people to be holy, as he is holy( 1 Peter 1:15-16, Lev. 11:45, Matt. 5:48). To do as He does.  We are to be pure and upright before Him at all times, just as He is at all times. We are to follow the examples God gave us in the records He left us and in the lives of all His holy saints noted in the holy scriptures (John 13:15-17, Heb. 6:11-12, 1 Cor. 4:16, Phil. 3:14-17). This is our model to patterns our lives after that we be inspired  unto holiness ( 1 Cor. 10:11, John 8:39, Gen. 18:17-19).
We must read and study the Bible to learn what God expects of us, if we hope to follow Him truly unto holiness and to return to Him with all our hearts( Rom. 15:4, Rev. 22:10, Eph. 3:4, Is. 33:5-6). We will have to add to our faith by study, knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, self-control, godliness, and the love of our people Israel and all who fear God according to this gospel( 2:Tim. 2:15, 2 Peter 1:5-8). This is what is required of us if we hope to be transformed into his holy image; to be a reflection of His goodness(Col. 3:9-10, Eph. 4:23-24).
We know that this world is temporary and all the great cities and riches found in it will all fade away along with those that do evil. Therefore, we do not put our hope in this world, but strive rather to please God instead. Because it is His purpose and will that  will endure beyond this present world. So then, we distance ourselves from the wicked in every way and cling to the only true hope in this world: Yahawah, the Most High.

I pray and hope that these scriptures, and the revelation God has given me regarding them may be of some help to you on your journey with God and Christ.
I hope and pray also, that this little contribution to all the believers would increase the knowledge and understanding we get out of the Holy scriptures so that unity of faith would come to us all, just as Christ and the apostles stated and hoped for us, saying, "till we all come to the unity of the faith(John 17:20-21, Eph. 4:11-13, Ezekiel 37:15-17)."

Never Alone

All of you will go your own way
and leave me all alone (John 16:32)
Yet, I am not alone
My enemies gathered together
and cast me far from my borders( Joel 3:6)
all alone
Yet, I am not alone
I was once surrounded
by empires, full of multitudes
to the north and south
from the east to the distant west
Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven( Acts 2:5)
But now that is all gone
and I am all alone
Yet, I am not alone
Lord, they hunt our steps
and pursue me upon every mountain
I am taken in their pit and left all alone( Lam. 4:18-19)
Yet, Faith tells me and teaches me
and I know I am not alone
You will never leave me
You are always with me
Psalm 139: 7,8,9,10

Shalam,

Standing Alone

I want to share a breakdown with all who call on the name of the God of Israel and especially for those who desire to be stewards of the Most High-you who dedicate yourself to feeding His flock and being am example to them.

Jeremiah 15:15-21
This passage of scripture is timely for today's resurrected Israelites and those of you from the nations whom God has given the gift of faith to hear and believe. I will give a summary and meaning of each verse as we go, with some reference scriptures to help support each verse.

Jer. 15:15

This is the universal cry of all believers who are not afraid of persecution for their faith in the Most High.The wicked people, and the demonic forces that rule them, hate the children of God because of who and what they are. They are the exact opposite of everything they are. One is upright, the other is lowly, one is holy, while the other is evil. Because of this there is constant friction and war between them-there is no unity between the children of God and the children of the Devil ( Amos 3:3).
The holy people have a moral compass(the laws/word of God) that guides them to know what is right from what is wrong. The wicked believe that they are their own moral compass and whatever they feel is right or wrong is correct. They trust in the deceit of their own wicked minds (Prov. 28:26, Ps. 14:1). Therefore, in their world anything is acceptable, as long as you don't get caught or oppose someone else  from living like this(Romans 1:32). A good example of this is their redefining of marriage as a union between two males or two females, verses between a male and a female as God said from the beginning. And if you appose this view, you are considered intolerable, hateful, and a law breaker. they make wickedness legal and acceptable in their world.
The wicked hate God, his standards, and  fight against any who follow Him.
The wicked are in the majority now however while God's people are the minorities, whom they hated and oppressed due to their obedience to God. Because of this, the prophet Jeremiah, foreseeing the state of the people of God, prayed to God(who sees and knows all that is happening on earth) and  requested  God to remembers him and those like him, who through faith and courage stood up for the truth of His word. And that He would visit and avenge all the wrong that they have suffered unjustly because of their faith in Him. Furthermore, he requested of God that he would not delay his judgement too long or before he dies. This is a reasonable desire from a human perspective, as we have but so long to be here on earth before we die. And if you are a lover of justice, as all the saints of God are, you will desire to see the judgement on those that do evil and hurt in the earth (Ps. 14:7). But, God is not a man that he should be partial to any injustice(Eccl. 3:14-15, Eccl. 8:6). He has set all time and events in a set order for His divine purpose. Therefore, we can rest assured that the judgement of the wicked, though it may not come in our own lifetime, will come at the time God has intended. Also, time is actually used by God,in all His wisdom, to gather His faithful people and to grant them opportunity for repentance as they return to Him from the lies of the wicked and sin ( 2 Peter 3:9,10, Prov. 12:26).
 God, according to scripture, will avenge all the wrongs done to the righteous; for vengeance belongs to Him (Romans 12:19, Matt. 18:6,7). And knowing this actually gives the saints patience and courage to endure the rebukes and attacks of the wicked( Romans 8:35-39). Yet, the wicked shall not escape the judgement of God.

Jer. 15:16

The words of God was and is made known to His people by God( Deut. 29:29, Is. 59:21). The Holy spirit of God gives his people the understanding of the word(John 14:26). The Holy Bible is the compilation of all that God has spoken on the earth to His holy people. The word is the nourishment of every cell and DNA of the saints of God- it feeds and strengthens them. And they seek out the understanding and meaning of all that is written in it by reading and study so that it may become a part of them. They eat the word or study it day and night ( Ps. 1:1-2). It empowers them daily and strengthens them from generation to generation, because it brings comfort, hope, and the wisdom  to understand the times they live in (Romans 15:4, 1 Cor. 10:11, Is 33:6).
The word of God also restores our remembrance of who we are as a people. It reveals to us our true identity as the children of Israel, the people call by His name. In fact, the name Israel in Hebrew means- He is the Prince of God- we are literally called by His name.
It is a biblical prophecy and historical fact that the wicked of the nations would come and destroy the country, history, and national identity of the Hebrew Israelites people both in the old world(Jerusalem and all the middle east, Africa, and Europe), and in the Americas. This was foretold by all the prophets in the Bible, due to the sins of the people of Israel and the utter hatred of the wicked for God's people. But in the end, the prophecy states,  God would come again and grant them favor and a spiritual and physical resurrection from all the lands they had been taken as captives (Deut. 30:1-10, Rom. 11:25, 1,2).  And we can see this happening around the world today with the rise of the Hebrew Israelite movements in many countries as they are reclaiming their lost heritage in God and Christ. Also, there is a remnant from among the nations, according to scriptures, that will be graphed into this sheepfold of Christ, many of whom are trapped in lies and fake religions around the world, with the chief impostor religion being today's Christianity. The Christianity of today is a false identity built around tricky theology and the cunning craftiness of evil men who twist the word of God and make it into a lie( Romans 1:18,25, Matt. 24:4-5, 2 Thess. 2:8-12 ). Those of the nations trapped in these lies are also, like the lost Isrealites, lost to their true identity as fellow citizens of the commonwealth of Israel and members of the family of God . It is the true word of God only that will, in due time, reveal this truth to all humanity ( 1 Tim. 2:5-6, Is 56:6,7).

Jer. 15:17

The righteous separate themselves form the wicked and choose rather to sit alone. Because they know that it is the will of God for His people in saving them from the lies and the judgement coming( James 4:4, Rom. 8:6-7). They also understand that to be joined with the wicked is to learn their ways, which leads to a separation from God( 2 Cor. 6:14-18). And to be apart from God is to be worthy of His wrath and judgement ( Zeph. 2:1-3, Matt. 13:49-50). Furthermore, the lifestyles and decrees of the wicked are vexing to the spirit and dignity of a saint of God (2 Peter 2:6-7). He is angry with their culture and society everyday(Ps. 119:104).

Jer.15: 18

Who is the prophet talking about here?
He is talking about Israel as a people in a state of revolted against their God. They in turn bring perpetual pain upon themselves by rejecting the laws and commandments of God. The captivity and the oppression that they suffer is predicated on this one thing. It's not because of being Black, Indian, or Hispanic-why, even these names are a part of the curse: Moses said, we would become byword and a proverb. The nations would not call us by our true name, but by a fake name and a fake nationality- Black is a color not a nation or people.  Our current condition and pain is directly related to our position with God. And until the day Israel comes to this understanding, they will never be healed; never escape the oppression, social degradation, and political exploitation they now experience among all the nations God has scattered them to. The despair seemed so hopeless that Jeremiah asked God if  the prophecies of Israel's redemption will ever come to pass? This is because most of the Israelites, sadly, will reject this hope God has given them in His word. They, like their rebellious ancestors with Moses, will choose this world instead of the world God is promising them in His word.  But, thankfully, there is a remnant that will choose God over this world, just as there was a remnant in Moses's time (Romans 11:5, John 10:26-27, Zeph. 3:13-20).

Jer 15:19

God's reply- If you, Israel, will return to God according to His word, then He will restore you to your homeland and kingdom, and your kingdom will stand before God for eternity (Lev. 26:40-45, Rev.18:4, Mark 1:14-15, Dan 7:27). And to the prophet( His stewards and shepherds He sends), He says-Take the precious, His royal priesthood and holy nation in Christ,  from among the vile- the wicked, the unbelievers, and the rebellious that refuse to return(2 Tim. 2:1-2). Let the awakened Israelite prophet, God says, go and share this gospel to the lost sheep of Israel and all who are destine for life by God's divine purpose(Jer. 3:12-15, Acts 13:46-49). The lost Israelites must return to the truth taught by God's prophets and not the opposite- the prophet, following the darkness and ignorance that the people are in(Matt. 5:20, 1 John 2:15-19). This is why Peter tells the elders of the church to be examples to the flock of God and not to do like all the poverty pimps, hustlers, and lairs are doing and have done for generations; doing evil and lording it over the people. This type follow the darkness that they condemn( 1 Peter 5:3, Romans 2:1). They are not the prophets of God but of their own wicked hearts (Jer. 23:21-22,16).

Jer 15:20

God's reply- They will persecute the prophets of God, but He will strengthen all their defenses, like a wall made of brass that cannot be broken down(Matt. 10:22-23, John 15:20-21, Is. 40:31, Rev. 11:5, Ps. 18:32-37). They will be able to endure because God will be with them to the end of this world by His holy Spirit that he has given them and by the power of His Christ( Matt. 28:19-20, John 14:15-17, I John 2:27, Acts 10:42-43, Acts 5:31-32, Matt. 10:22-23).

Jer. 15:21

God's reply- God will deliver his prophets and His people from the wicked- the spiritual demon Satan and all his angels, who are men devoted to his wickedness; composed both of the nations and of the wicked Israelites that refuse to obey God and His Christ, Yahawashi of Nazareth. God will redeem His people out of the hand of the terrible, which is the fourth beast or world empire that will arise in the earth. This is the last kingdom of the nations that is called the terrible by God, because of the power and pride of his might. Daniel saw this last world power in a vision in the first beast, the kingdom of Babylon( Dan. 7:7-8). It had seven heads and ten horns. It possessed military might, technology that seemed miraculous, and a propensity for blood, devouring nation after nation  and any man or woman that dare challenge it's will.
This great beast or empire started with the Roman empire, which devoured and broke the whole earth into pieces. The Romans conquered the whole Mediterranean world and beyond. They subdued nation after nation with great slaughter and political sagacity, which they call the Pax Romana: the Roman Peace. The earth became quiet before them.
This beast continued through the ages in it's birth place of Europe, going dormant for a time during the middle ages and being born again if 1492 with the rise of one of it's evil heads- Spain. Eventually all it's heads began their own journeys to dominance again- France, Britain, Germany, Russia, Italy, the Dutch and the Scandinavians all had their path to becoming world powers again since 1492.
 But, the most deadly of all theses powers was the little horn that came out of Britain: America.
She too destroyed wonderfully according to the prophets, both at her birth and unto the end of days. It is She that sat upon the back of the beast, the united European nations, according to prophecy and became drunk on the blood of the holy people of God- The awaken Israelites and all from the nations that believe God according to this gospel (Rev. 17:3-6). Daniel with all the prophets saw and told of her great slaughter that is coming, saying it would be the worst time ever on earth since God created mankind ( Daniel 12:1, Deut. 32:27-29, Jer. 30:7). Christ, too foretold of these last days, saying, that if they were not cut short all humanity would die or none left. Therefore, God did cut it short to three and a half years, as stated in the book of Matthew, Revelation, and Daniel ( Matt. 24:22, Rev. 13:1,5-7, Dan. 8:23-25, Dan. 12:1). God, in the person of Yahawshi will come and invade the earth with his millions upon millions of angels in the end to fight the final beast and redeem His holy people that believed and endured with Him out of the hands of the wicked and the terrible(Jer. 30:10-11, Is. 63:1-6, Rev. 19:11-21, Acts 14:22).

I hope that this breakdown or explanations of the Holy scriptures lead you to greater understanding
of God's word and prepares you for the times to come. I hope it gives you faith and courage to endure to the end with God and Christ.

This song  has a powerful message to encourage all of us to choose God's way and not the way of this world, even if it means we must stand alone. Let us who fear God return to Him in truth with all our heart and soul.

Shalam,
Zarach
