A cry of LOVE from heaven (and me) to you…

Before you read this note, I want you to go and get your Bible. Seriously. Go get it.
Got it? OK, now open up to Matthew 1 and hold the entire New Testament in-between the fingers on your right hand. Then look at the amount of the book we call the Bible that is in that hand and compare it to what is left on the other side. You’ll quickly notice that the stack of pages in your left hand is significantly bigger than the stack in your right hand. That’s how much the modern Church does NOT understand about the book they claim to follow. That is why we’ve gone so far off the map folks. That is why we’ve strayed away from truth. Therefore, I’m going to suggest that you rip out the “commercial interuptions” that TRANSLATORS/PRINTERS put into your Bible. They were NOT put there by the Holy Spirit inspired authors of Scripture.
There is a reason the Old Testament ends with this final chapter from Malachi:
The Great Day of God
4 “For behold, the day is coming, Burning like an oven, And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up, ”Says the Lord of hosts, “That will leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves. 3 You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet On the day that I do this, ”Says the Lord of hosts.
4 “Remember the Law of Moses, My servant, Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,With the statutes and judgments. 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. 6 And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”
Do you really think the Old Testament would end that way if we were really supposed to toss it all out when we turn the page to Matthew??? Why is YHWH going to “strike the earth with a curse?” Consider what Zephaniah also has to say about the Last Days:
Zephaniah 1:
1 The Lord gave this message to Zephaniah when Josiah son of Amon was king of Judah. Zephaniah was the son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah.
2 “I will sweep away everything from the face of the earth,” says the Lord. 3 “I will sweep away people and animals alike. I will sweep away the birds of the sky and the fish in the sea.I will reduce the wicked to heaps of rubble, and I will wipe humanity from the face of the earth,” says the Lord. 4 “I will crush Judah and Jerusalem with my fist and destroy every last trace of their Baal worship. I will put an end to all the idolatrous priests, so that even the memory of them will disappear. 5 For they go up to their roofs and bow down to the sun, moon, and stars. They claim to follow the Lord, but then they worship Molech, too. 6 And I will destroy those who used to worship me but now no longer do. They no longer ask for the Lord’s guidance or seek my blessings.”
7 Stand in silence in the presence of the Sovereign Lord, for the awesome day of the Lord’s judgment is near. The Lord has prepared his people for a great slaughter and has chosen their executioners. 8 “On that day of judgment,” says the Lord,“I will punish the leaders and princes of Judah and all those following pagan customs. 9 Yes, I will punish those who participate in pagan worship ceremonies, and those who fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.
It doesn’t get much more direct than that! Meanwhile, for those of us who are out there trying to lead people back to the TRUTH and who are constantly being ridiculed and bashed by the pagan holiday practicing Christians, take comfort in Zephaniah 2 and 3:
Zephaniah 2:3 Seek the Lord, all who are humble, and follow his commands. Seek to do what is right and to live humbly. Perhaps even yet the Lord will protect you—protect you from his anger on that day of destruction.
Zephaniah 3:
4 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! 15 For the Lord will remove his hand of judgment and will disperse the armies of your enemy. And the Lord himself, the King of Israel, will live among you! At last your troubles will be over, and you will never again fear disaster. 16 On that day the announcement to Jerusalem will be, “Cheer up, Zion! Don’t be afraid! 17 For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”
18 “I will gather you who mourn for the appointed festivals; you will be disgraced no more. 19 And I will deal severely with all who have oppressed you. I will save the weak and helpless ones; I will bring together those who were chased away. I will give glory and fame to my former exiles, wherever they have been mocked and shamed. 20 On that day I will gather you together and bring you home again. I will give you a good name, a name of distinction, among all the nations of the earth, as I restore your fortunes before their very eyes. I, the Lord, have spoken!”
We may be mocked now for “mourning for the appointed festivals” (which are the Feasts of YHWH – the TRUE holidays), but there is great reward to come for those who seek to follow His commandments.
Finally, consider this: Why does the whole world “worship the Beast” in the Last Days? Because they already are – and have been for a long time! This Christmas/Easter nonsense is global and the thoroughly paganized “Jesus” we are seeing in the Church today looks nothing like the Jewish Yeshua/Jesus the Bible portrays. They will follow the counterfeit so easily because they already are. This is why I am so passionate about this issue. When the disciples of Jesus asked Him what the Last Days would be like, he started off by warning them/us not to be deceived.
Matthew 24:
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Church, PLEASE pray about all of this. I am NOT judging you, I am BEGGING you. I’m trying to point out the truth to you in love.
Don’t believe me. Go read your Bible for yourself. Start to Google what Christmas is really all about. You desire to love God and worship Him. Great. The problem is you simply can NOT do so in spirit and in TRUTH while practicing and perpetuating lies. We are NOT to worship YHWH in the SAME WAY the heathen do (Deuteronomy 12). In fact, we are to “learn not the way of the heathen” (Jeremiah 10). We are to worship in spirit and in TRUTH (John 4:24) and to show our LOVE to our Heavenly Father through obedience (1 John 5:1-3).
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
That is a cry of of love from heaven. It is the same cry I am giving here in love. Time is short. Let’s get back to worshiping in spirit AND in TRUTH. We can do so by celebrating Yeshua, Christ the King the way HE told us to, when and how He told us to. Leviticus 23 give us the “appointed festivals” Zephaniah was talking about. These are the true HOLYdays that point to the birth, life, death, burial, resurrection, power, return, justice and reign of our Saviour. Imagine if we were to get as excited and passionate about doing THOSE as we have been with the celebrations of Nimrod!
P.S. – You never thought of Christmas and Easter as “legalistic observances,” so why would you think that way about the TRUE HOLYdays of YHWH?
