BOOK OF HEBREWS

HEBREWS – CHAPTER 13
Hebrews 13:1 says, “Let brotherly love continue.” “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Continue to run the race with endurance with your eyes open and your ears hearing the truths of Father’s Word, through Christ Jesus. Doing so with “brotherly love” means those having Father’s truth within their minds sharing that same truth with those sitting in a building playing church, calling themselves christians, rejoicing in their spiritual stupor. Beginning in Revelation – Chapter 2, Christ Jesus sent a letter to seven churches, encompassing all of christianity or the lack thereof. Revelation 3:7 – 13 says, “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;” “I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.” “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.” “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” “Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name.” “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” The sixth letter from Christ Jesus is written to the church {candlestick} of “Philadelphia” which means “brotherly love” in the Greek, from our Lord, to the angel {star} over this church. This message is to all churches today who follow the doctrines or traditions of the Philadelphia {Smyrna} church, especially since the end of this generation, this Flesh or Second Earth Age is coming quickly to its end. Feel the pleasure Father has in churches likened unto the church of Philadelphia, “holy and true, having the key of David”, which is “knowledge of Father’s Word.” Isaiah 22:22 says, “And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.” This church of Philadelphia held the “key of David” wherein they are able to understand our Father’s Truths {hidden manna}. Having this “key” is the entrance into the Word of Almighty God, allowing you to unlock all doors of deception laid before you by any man, and most of all against the vile one yet to come, satan with his entourage. When you have the “Key of David”, no flesh can hinder you from studying Father’s Word which brings about your freedom and peace in our Lord Jesus Christ, who is our Living Word. This is the reason why Father will hear no excuses from those calling themselves christians and lying with Jezebel [false religion], happy in that filth because it has a sweet aroma and looks holy, keeping you in bondage. Christ says in John 8:32, “And he shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” For every positive there is a negative, therefore, this “key” also locks out or shuts up false doctrines, traditions and deceptions when you are in the service of our LORD. Therefore, the very elect of Father God, once ignorant until they came into truth by the grace of Father, now have a duty and responsibility to continue running the race, planting seeds of truth to the unlearned who have minds locked into the doctrines and traditions of men, doing so with patience since this is “brotherly love.”

Hebrews 13:2 says, “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Father God has His angels and satan has angels as well. Since there is no doubt that those belonging to Father are good, common sense would dictate that those angels belonging to satan are just like him, evil. They are called “fallen angels” for a reason. The angels of Father God should thankfully be “entertained” as they were when appearing to Abraham in Genesis – Chapter 18 and to Lot in Genesis – Chapter 19, sent on a mission, for a purpose, as commanded by Father God Almighty. You cannot “entertain strangers {angels}” sent by Father God if you are illiterate of His Word. You want to be aware of the spirit you are “entertaining” so you may grow within the knowledge of Father’s Word, becoming as the very elect, a seed planter, teacher or minister of His truths to a world full of people starving spiritually to hear and come to the understanding of the Word of Father God Almighty. Angels of Father God come to bring you “good news”, while the angels of satan seek to destroy your soul. In order to know the difference, you must have a discerning spirit which comes from having knowledge of Father’s Word. The fallen angels, children of satan, having no good thing within them at all, were disobedient to the will of Father God and left the Heavenly home without being born from above through a woman [Jude 1:6]. They are the angels spoken of in Revelation 12:7 – 9 who shall be cast to this earth with satan who frees them from bondage according to the plan of Father God. This is why you should have the ark of divine wisdom within your mind as Paul taught in I Corinthians 11:10 which says, “For this cause ought the woman to have power on [her] head because of the angels.” The “covering of a woman’s head” is “the veil {truth} of Christ Jesus” to protect “her”, being “mankind”, from spiritual seduction and deceptive lies of the fallen angels [Matthew 24:37 – 39]. These angels are the “locust army” taught of in Revelation – Chapter 9. There is only one way to not be a part of the seduction {spiritually speaking} of the fallen angels Father has judged and condemned to become ashes from within at the appointed time, and that is by accepting seeds of truth planted by the very elect, seeking the increase of understanding only Father God can give when you ask, seek and knock. Accept that “brotherly love” which brings forth the truth of Father’s Word wherein you are a part of His family. Knowledge frees you from the bondage of ignorance, babble, confusion and the doctrines and traditions of men which will keep you in chains, ripe to be seduced {spiritually speaking} by satan and his fallen angels.

Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; [and] them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.” Mankind is the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus and when one of Father’s children suffers bondage in the fulfillment of His plan, all suffer. In Paul’s day as well as in the days of Old, many of Father’s children were placed into bondage, held captive and persecuted because of witnessing the “good news” of our Father God Almighty. Christ Jesus Himself was persecuted by the kenites for teaching His children truth, ultimately crucified by the children of satan. To be “in bonds” means to be “imprisoned.” This is not speaking of being jailed for criminal wrongdoings. This is speaking of being placed in bondage for teaching the truth of Father’s Word. Most calling themselves christians find peace in the doctrines and traditions of men, and when one of Father’s very elect begin planting seeds or teaching truth, the unlearned are quick to place them in bondage as they persecute that same truth. This is why it is so very important for those of the family of Father God, having understanding of His Word, to stay together in prayer, continuing to run the race for our Lord Jesus Christ, magnifying Almighty God for the privilege of being a part of His Perfect Plan. Christ Jesus holds the key that unlocks the bondage placed upon those in His service since the truth of Father’s Word will always set you free. Christ taught of His pleasure when you “share truth to those bound in ignorance”, being those who hunger and thirst for truth, witnessing with joy since freedom lies within our Lord’s hands [Matthew 25:34 – 40].

Hebrews 13:4 says, “Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” This is not teaching of a marriage between a man and a woman. This teaching is far more profound in that it teaches of the expectation of Christ Jesus when He returns to this earth as “King of kings and Lord of lords” expecting to find His children {wife/bride} standing against the first/false christ, who is satan, until His return {Second Advent}. While it has not yet occurred, this is how it shall come to pass - The Seventh Trumpet has not sounded, the Sixth Trumpet has and satan and his entourage are upon the earth. You have allowed yourself to be deceived, believing this vile creature is our True Christ here to rapture you away, and you have bowed down and worshipped him [satan]. This means you are impregnated {spiritually speaking}, when you should be a faithful virgin waiting for the return of your Bridegroom who is Christ Jesus. Matthew 24:19 says, Christ Jesus speaking, “And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!” Jesus Christ is our Bridegroom and He, having ascended to be at the right hand of His Father, is away from His bride, the church, who is mankind, His family, for a short time. When our Lord returns at the Seventh Trump, He expects to find His intended wife and bride working in the field, faithfully waiting for Him, in the service of our Father God Almighty. However, when Christ returns and finds His bride standing with a child in her womb {spiritually speaking}, it means that she has taken the first to come as husband, being the anti-christ [satan]. Therefore, because of a lack of knowledge of our Father’s Word, the deceived have given themselves over to the false christ, “giving suck”, which means you are in the service of the enemy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is satan. With this, once you have bound yourself over to satan, our Father’s grace by faith is no longer extended to you, since you have given your works or nurtured along the works of satan who has already been condemned to death from within. Understand these truths, studying Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, seeking the increase of knowledge only Father God can give so that you are a part of the “Wedding Feast of Christ Jesus when He returns as King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Hebrews 13:5 says, “[Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Our Lord blesses His children with gifts they are able to manage as they plant seeds and teach the truth of His Word. Some have few, others many and you should be happy for that one, wishing him/her well, as we are all a part of Father’s spiritual family. Never be covetousness {desiring that which belongs to another, yearning to have} of what another has since we are all to be one family in Christ Jesus, which means Father God is blessing the union. Always remember, blessings from Father God are earned when you are within His service. When you see blessings flowing to another, ask yourself why, seek Father’s guidance and direction through Christ Jesus, be faithful to the spiritual family understanding and sharing truth, and you shall be “content {satisfied}.” “Father God is Faithful, Loving, Kind and True to all of His Promises.” If you want to be blessed, bless Father and that can only be accomplished by studying His Word, understanding His truths, and giving over your life to run the race, finishing as a virgin bride {spiritually speaking} when Christ Jesus returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords.” No one is perfect and all will fall short and this is why we have repentance. No matter what anyone may say, it is a fact that Father never, ever leaves His children, it is His children who leave Him, purposefully or unintentionally, it does not matter. Any individual of this world who believes they can live in this Flesh Age without Father God is sadly mistaken. Hold to Father’s unchanging hand and acknowledge Him in your life day and night, because our LORD God Almighty Faithful and True is always, always there.

Hebrews 13:6 says, “So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” When Father God is for you, who can be against you [Psalms – Chapter 27 & Psalms – Chapter 30]. People can try to hurt Father’s children, His very elect; however there will be no success. They may place a stumbling block or two in your path, and when you are under the veil of Christ Jesus you know what to do to have it removed. Father clearly states within His Word, “touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm [I Chronicles 16:22 & Psalms 105:15].” Father God is “Blessed Assurance” when you have faith and stand upon our “Rock, who is Christ Jesus.”

Hebrews 13:7 says, “Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of [their] conversation.” Studying Father’s Word just as it was written to you, Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Precept upon Precept is what keeps you on the right path wherein you are not a part of the babble and confusion spewed by the Biblically illiterate who ordained themselves with nothingness and alphabet soup in back of their names. Judge the tree by its fruit, that which is spoken from their mouth. If they are teaching of the rapture, why would you listen since this is not taught of in Father’s Word. If you are hearing of satan being cast to this earth at the sounding of the Sixth Trump to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind, listen, truth is being taught. If you care enough to have discernment so you are pleasing to Father, then study to show yourself approved so that with repentance and prayer, our LORD will surely give you the increase of understanding. “Christ Jesus is our Living Word”, not your pulpit guru or your opinion. Therefore, pray for those who teach Father’s Truths which provides guidance, instruction and understanding of the “Holy Word” which was written by those in the service of Father God through the “Old and New Testaments.” Be cognizant of these workers of faith because each and every one of them are now within Father’s Heavenly Estate, having had victory through Christ Jesus, who is the “Author and Finisher of faith.” If you need an example to follow, think about David, Daniel, Moses and Elijah, John, Paul, Matthew and Peter; all those of the “Holy Bible” who loved, had faith, believed and trusted in Father God. “Father God is the same, yesterday, today and shall be so tomorrow.”

Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” “Jesus Christ is our Living Word” and “His Truth never, ever changes.” “Father God is the same yesterday, today and shall be tomorrow.” These truths are steadfast from the Age that was, the Spiritual or First Earth Age, this Age we are now living in, the Flesh or Second Earth Age, and the Age yet to come, the Spiritual/Eternal or Third Earth Age. None of these truths can be said about people because not one, not even the very elect have perfect order. So this means when you are studying the “Holy Bible” there is “one Truth” because this “Book” is “The Book” which belongs to and was “inspired by Father God, Christ Jesus our Living Word”, which means, “it never, ever changes.” Father God created all things of Heaven and earth and they were created for His good pleasure [Revelation 4:11]. Ultimately, when all is said and done, Father God will remove; do away with all that displeases Him. That is only common sense and should be understood without contradiction. If you are ever confused by a teaching, study for yourself since most of the so-called teachers and preachers across the entire earth do not even know why we were born from above. There is one truth that never changes, is not a part of personal interpretation, opinion or speculation, and that “Truth is the Word of Father God Almighty, Christ Jesus our Living Word.”

Hebrews 13:9 says, “Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For [it is] a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.” “Divers and strange doctrines” means “false teachings – without the knowledge of truth.” “Grace” means “good will, loving-kindness, favour - of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the christian virtues – the unmerited favor with Father God through Christ Jesus.” It is the spiritual matters of Father God that will save your soul and not that which feeds the flesh {meat}. While we are to be obedient to the health laws of Father’s Word so we do not become ill while in the flesh, being free from diseases and sicknesses that come upon us from those things which Father has declared to be unclean, scavengers such as the pork of a pig, these health laws will not save your soul. Father God wants His children to have a relationship with Him through Christ Jesus wherein you are studying His Word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, seeking that understanding only Father can give and not listening to the false doctrines and traditions of pulpit gurus who were not appointed by Father and have no knowledge of His truths. The traditions of men can lead you right into the bed {spiritually speaking} of satan when he is cast to this earth as the false/first christ. So many standing in pulpits with their fire and brimstone preaching are doing nothing more than leading mankind into deception, filling their head with the fly away, any moment, rapture doctrines that Father God despises, even hates [Ezekiel 13:17 – 21]. There are a few in pulpits that have the best of intentions; however they are unlearned; while there many others who are just self-serving hypocrites, all biblically illiterate and desiring to stay that way. When you do not know the truth, you come to believe those things that are the traditions of men, which is Father’s Word twisted, becoming false teachings that mislead people, causing Father’s Word to become void within their hearts and minds of mankind. Our LORD is not pleased because truth must be sought from a seed planted by the very elect who were selected by Father, and once that seed is received, it is necessary to study and seek the increase, that unmerited favor, through Christ Jesus, our Intercessor to Father God who will grant that increase of knowledge, wherein you understand His Word. Our flesh bodies need meat to eat to sustain, however even with that nourishment, it shall still die or be changed with the coming of Christ. The spiritual body however, when nourished with the Word of Almighty God, will live forever, have eternal life, if you avoid strange doctrines from lying, Biblically illiterate lips.

Hebrews 13:10 says, “We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.” The “altar” is “Christ Jesus when He sacrificed Himself on that ‘cross’ at Calvary.” It was at that time that our Lord ripped that veil from top to bottom {Matthew – Chapter 27 & Mark – Chapter 15} and mankind, Father’s children, can now come before Him upon belief and in the Name of Christ Jesus, repenting of sins and communing with Father in prayer. Christ shed His blood for us, mankind, to have this privilege and so many spend their time warming a pew in a church that is filled with nothingness because there is no truth taught there.

Hebrews 13:11 says, “For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.” Before Christ Jesus, the animal sacrifices of the priests for themselves and for the children of Father God, those lambs slain for sacrifices took place outside of the camp, away from the Temple of our LORD.

Hebrews 13:12 says, “Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.” When Christ Jesus was slain at Golgotha {Matthew – Chapter 27 & Mark – Chapter 15}, it was outside of the city gate, and away from the Temple of Almighty God, which was in Jerusalem. “Sanctify” means “to purify.” You can only be purified in the sight of Almighty God by being under the veil of the shed blood of Christ Jesus which covers our sins. This is why when we pray, when we speak to Father God, and when we confess of our sins, all daily; if must be in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ since this signifies our belief in He who sacrificed Himself for all on that cross at Calvary.

Hebrews 13:13 says, “Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.” “Reproach” means “such as Christ suffered, for the cause of God, from his enemies – criticism/rebuke.” When the very elect plant seeds of truth, teaching who Christ Jesus is, telling of “who” it was who crucified Him on that cross, “where, when and why”, you will, without a doubt, suffer “reproach.” The reason for the criticism would be because the kenites [children of satan] do not want you to understand the truth of Father’s Word. This is why it is outside of the camp, away from the Temple of Father God for a time. However, please keep in mind that during that time when satan sits in Father’s favorite place, in Jerusalem, deceiving most of the world into believing he is our True Christ here to rapture them away {Matthew - Chapter 24, Mark – Chapter 13, Luke - Chapters 17 & 21}, those selected by Father God will come before him [satan] within the synagogue and give a testimony of what “thus saith our LORD God Almighty, Faithful and True [Matthew 10:19 & 20].” For those Father God chooses, it shall not be they who speak, rather the Holy Spirit speaking through them. That is to say, when you live your life dedicated to Christ Jesus, there is no need to have to enter into the camp made with human hands, or within their temples where they have their man made altars with their candle communion services. Those who have the truth sealed within their minds do not even want to enter into all of these buildings on every corner labeled churches. Christ Jesus is our altar, our church, our christian family. That church building and pulpit guru congregations are falling over themselves over cannot save you or offer you eternal life. Christ Jesus can and He will “if” you study Father’s Word and no the difference between the first/false christ and our True Christ, knowing the time of T/their casting [satan – Revelation 12:7-17] and returning to this earth {Christ Jesus Revelation – Chapters 14 & 15}.

Hebrews 13:14 says, “For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.” Soon, very soon, Christ Jesus is returning to this earth as “King of kings and Lord of lords” and every knee shall bow to Him and every tongue shall confess Father God Almighty. All shall be changed from these flesh bodies to our spiritual bodies, mortal and immortal souls. All shall be a part of the Millennial Kingdom teaching as Christ Jesus reigns over truth to every heart and mind. When that one thousand year teaching comes to an end, we look forward to looking to the Heavens and seeing our Father God Almighty returning to a new Heaven and a new Jerusalem with all of His heavenly host and there shall no longer be a need for a Temple {Revelation Chapters 20 – 22}. Revelation 21:19 – 24 teaches that “Father God and Christ Jesus shall be our Temple within the great city.”

Hebrews 13:15 says, “By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of [our] lips giving thanks to his name.” We are to let our Father God know always that we love Him since that is “giving thanks to His Name.” Father God created all for His pleasure {Revelation 4:11}, and when you study His Word, knowing who our True Christ is and that He will return to us, right here on this earth, after satan is cast from Heaven as the first/false christ, this is loving, honoring, magnifying and praising Father God the only way we can, by the faithful study of His Word. When you please Father, He will always bless, comfort and keep you, making a way clear to retard the darts of the enemy and be our help in time of need. Always speak to Father God in the Name of Christ Jesus, thanking Him for the comfort of His Sweet, Sweet Spirit.

Hebrews 13:16 says, “But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” “To communicate” means “to fellowship and talk about the goodness of our LORD.” Understanding Father’s Word, having received that increase of knowledge through Christ Jesus that only our LORD can give, you become one of the very elect, and it is your duty to plant seeds of this same truth to ears that will hear and eyes that will see. It is necessary to share the true Good News of the blessed events that shall consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age. Then we should pray that those receiving those seedlings will meditate on those truths and go before the Throne of Father God, repenting of sins in the Name of Christ Jesus, beseeching Father for more truth with understanding so that all may become of the many-memebered Body of Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 13:17 says, “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is] unprofitable for you.” Not one of us can save the world; however, we can “submit ourselves” to allow our hands to do the work Father God has laid before us so that we are a part of His Perfect Plan for His children. When you place all of the election of Father God together, though they be scattered throughout the whole earth, they are all working as one, following the path of Christ Jesus, our Living Word, bringing others, through truth, to become of the family of our Lord and being a part of the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus. Working for our Father demonstrates faith and joy, knowing that all good things come from our LORD, and there is no good thing anyone can do without the blessings of our LORD God Almighty. Knowing you are accountable for everything your lips speak as pertains to the Word of Father God, always study to show yourself approved because Father will give much to those who spread the Good News that will draw all of mankind unto Him.

Hebrews 13:18 says, “Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.” “Honestly” means “right, well, truly, sincerely.” When you are versed in Father’s Word, understanding His Truths, you have a mindset that is free from guilt because those seeds planted are factual, straight from the Word of Almighty God. Knowing that every word that comes forth from your lips will be judged if they are lies and traditions of men should cause those Biblically illiterate to stop and take heed to the fact that they are accountable when those within their congregations fall down and worship satan, believing him to be our True Christ. Those with the seal of truth within their minds as Paul, the prophets, the disciples and all those of the Word of God who taught what “thus saith our LORD”, can rest assured of a clean conscious, free from guilt and know that Father God, because of it, will never leave or forsake them.

Hebrews 13:19 says, “But I beseech [you] the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.” Paul is asking everyone to pray for him, just as we pray for one another who have hands doing the work of Father God. This world has a lot of evil lurking around and it is a necessary thing for all of the elect of Father God to pray to Him in the Name of Christ Jesus, and to pray for one another that there are no obstacles that shall be in our path that will keep us from spreading the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ returning to this earth as “King of kings and Lord of lords.” Prayer is powerful. It moves mountains and causes those that are evil to take flight. Evil does not like to reside with the love of Father God. Christ Jesus gave us power over all of our enemies {Luke – Chapter 10}, and to move that which is evil, pray, pray, pray to He who hears all, knows all and conquers all who dare to touch His anointed children. “His Name is YAHOVAH” and we pray to our Father through “Yeshua Christ Jesus.”

Hebrews 13:20 says, “Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,” “The God of Peace” is our “Lord Jesus Christ.” The “everlasting {without beginning and end, that which always has been and always will be, without end} covenant {a disposition, arrangement, of any sort, which one wishes to be valid, the last disposition which one makes of his earthly possessions after his death, a testament or will}” is “Christ Jesus who shed His blood on the cross, that we may be cleansed and receive the healing; Father God never leaving or forsaking us, as we are led, guided and directed, by instruction, through our Lord Jesus Christ to the Throne of Father God Almighty.” Christ Jesus is our Shepherd and His Word feeds our hearts and minds to lead us to Father God. As children, many of us learned the parable to the one hundred sheep, and one had gone astray, leaving the ninety-nine. Christ Jesus taught us that it is necessary for Him to go after the one who has gone astray because it is that one who is in need of a healing, in need of a “Great Physician”, and that healing comes through our Lord Jesus Christ {Matthew – Chapter 18}. To be a part of the “everlasting covenant” is to have Father God within your heart and mind so you are under the will of our LORD and become joint heirs with Christ Jesus in the Eternal Kingdom.

Hebrews 13:21 says, “Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.” All of mankind are to do the will of our Father God, not the will of ourselves or the pulpit gurus. Father God created all of mankind for His pleasure and in all things that we do, we want to be pleasing to Father. Because we are flesh and there is no perfection in flesh, we do the very best we can, always, always, including our Father and never ever putting worldly things before our LORD. It is impossible to do the will of Father if you are not even taking time to spend with Him, which is accomplished through faithful study of His Word. There is no way to please Father if you are not versed in the Holy Bible because you will have no knowledge of what is expected of you. Having faith in Christ Jesus is pleasing to Father because that means we are listening to His instructions which makes you an active individual of the christian family, accepting and understanding truth and becoming a seed planter of that same truth wherever it will be heard. Your work for Father God is a demonstration of your faith and it does not go unnoticed, and during times of weakness, when you are not doing Father’s will, falling short as all of mankind does, repent in the Name of Christ Jesus before Father’s Throne and get back on the path of righteousness. Christ Jesus has foretold us all things as is taught in Mark – Chapter 13 and all you have to do is seek, knock and ask, studying to show yourself approved. Understanding the truth of Father’s Word is the only way to be pleasing to Him and to receive the blessing of that beautiful garment {clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands} taught of in Revelation – Chapter 7 which shall be worn through all of Eternity by all those who were faithful and true. This precious garment shall be worn by all those who avoided the deception of satan, waiting as a virgin bride {spiritually speaking} for the return of our True Christ to this earth at the sounding of the Seventh Trumpet as “King of kings and Lord of lords.” “Amen Amen” means “that’s that.”

Hebrews 13:22 says, “And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.” “Exhortation” means “consolation, comfort, solace; that which affords comfort or refreshment.” Study the Word of Father God so there is understanding of what is pleasing to our LORD and then share these same truths with any having ears to hear and eyes to see, because this is brotherly love and this is the reason why Father has given mankind His Precious Word. This is why Christ Jesus is our Living Word and these truths should be taught one way, and that is Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse so the subject of the Word is understood. There are blessings in understanding Father’s truths because this brings our LORD pleasure. There is no way to live in this world as troubling and wicked as it is without the blessings of Father God. If you think you are living without our LORD you are surely mistaken because there is a difference between living and existing. Without the Spirit of Father God all around you and having faith in our LORD, it is impossible to be pleasing to Him and be under His grace, mercy and love. Father takes care of all of His children, even those who fail to give Him praise and glory; however, your way is rocky, unsteady and there is reason to be concerned since deception is more prevalent in your life than truth.

Hebrews 13:23 says, “Know ye that [our] brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.” Paul, because of his obedience to Father God, was incarcerated, Timothy had been released. He was jailed because of spreading the Good News. Those who had incarcerated Paul were so ignorant as to believe this would stop Father’s Truths from reaching His children. Let the Word of Father God Almighty be a witness to the fact that there is nothing that can stop Father’s Word from being a part of your heart, mind and soul if you will receive it. Paul wrote us this Letter we are studying, which was inspired by our Father God, and delivered to us by Timothy, another of Father’s faithful servants. The eyes are the mirror to the soul. Is there darkness there or is there “Light, who is Christ Jesus.” Let nothing of this earth hinder you from the love of Father God, understanding His Truths and avoiding the deception that shall be perpetrated upon this earth before our True Christ returns {Matthew - Chapter 24, Mark – Chapter 13, Luke - Chapters 17 & 21}.

Hebrews 13:24 says, “Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.” “Salute” means “greet, bid welcome, wish well to.” “The saints” are the “very elect of Father God.” Paul was incarcerated in Rome, the reason why he was in Italy, and yet, even being jailed, he was fulfilling Father’s will; pleasing our LORD God Almighty. Nothing can stop Father’s Truths when you are His faithful servant. Stand for Father as you come to understand His Word and do that which will please our LORD, just as Paul did.

Hebrews 13:25 says, “Grace [be] with you all. Amen.” “Grace” means “unmerited favor - of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the christian virtues.” As we walk in the flesh, born from above because of the disobedience of satan and those who chose to follow him, turning their backs on Father God, all souls must be born from above to this Flesh or Second Earth Age. Father, His love for His children so great, gave us the greatest love of all as He Himself was born from above through Christ Jesus, sacrificing Himself on that cross at Calvary that mankind may receive the healing from sin through repentance; our LORD blessing us with His grace and mercy, even though we are not worthy. Father God loves us so much that He has given us His Precious Word to lead, guide and direct our paths into the arms of Christ Jesus in this generation we now live in. We were not born in this flesh just because. We were born in this flesh to decide whether we will follow Christ Jesus, who returns us to Father God, or, follow satan when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ because of ignorance of the Word of Almighty God. Look at all Father tolerates from His children because of His great love for us. Stop playing church. Stop walking through life as if this is all there is. Stop taking our Father for granted and examine yourself. Ask, seek and knock for that knowledge only Father God can lead you to, accept Christ Jesus, repent and receive the blessings of the Holy Spirit, and turn yourself around, yielding to Father’s desires, pleasing Him the only way you can, and that is by understanding His Word. Stand on the Rock of our Foundation who is Christ Jesus. Be prepared; Father God is depending on you!~

BOOK OF HEBREWS

Hebrews - Chapter 12
Hebrews 12:1 says, “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,” Paul is teaching that there are a great number of witnesses, so large, he likens them to a “cloud.” I Thessalonians 4:17 says, “Then we which are alive {on the earth} [and] remain shall be caught up {changed from flesh to spiritual bodies} together with them in the clouds {the zadok, the heavenly hosts who return to this earth with Christ Jesus}, to meet the Lord in the air {all those in the flesh taking on their spiritual bodies to be in the presence of our Lord}: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” “Clouds” are symbolic of “a mass of or a large gathering of people, those who believe and have faith in our Father, a group of witnesses”, and “air” means “breath of life {spiritual body}.” This is to say, when Christ Jesus returns to this earth at the Seventh Trump with His “upright ones, the zadok who are Father’s children {clouds}”, we of the earth, still within flesh bodies, shall all be changed instantly from our flesh bodies to our spiritual bodies {air – breath of life body, spiritual body}.” Paul spoke Colloquial Greek, which is slang, much as our slang of today when we may say, “ let me fly to the store.” He was using a figure of speech. This Verse is teaching of the Second Advent when Christ shall return to this earth, “with clouds” or “with the masses” of “His saints, the zadok, the upright ones, the Heavenly hosts.” Although many churches use Verses from I Thessalonians – Chapter 4 to chatter their false teachings, which is the rapture theory or fly away, any moment doctrines, all they show to those with eyes to see and ears to hear, which is having the wisdom of our Father’s Word within your heart and mind, is their Biblical illiteracy, and the fact that they enjoy being in that position of ignorance. “Race” means “an assembly.” This is symbolic of a marathon race such as was the Greek races of ancient Athens, spiritually meaning those who are true christians, understanding Father’s Word, in the Name of Christ Jesus, who are runners in His race and do so with “patience” which means “endurance” since they never give up. Matthew 24:12 & 13 says, “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” In not giving up, you “lay aside every weight” which are all those sinful actions of the flesh that would keep you from being a witness to and doing the works of Father God Almighty. Sin will hold you back if you do not confess of them and lift that weight off of yourself. When you are a part of a church where there is Biblical illiteracy, teaching the doctrines and traditions of men, that is sin that will weigh you down and keep you from the path Christ Jesus taught us to walk. That “weight of sin” is anything you allow to come between you and Father God. It takes faith and endurance to run the race and stay on course so you are pleasing to Father God, waiting for our True Christ to return to this earth as “King of kings and Lord of lords when that Seventh Trumpet sounds.”

Hebrews 12:2 says, “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” “Christ Jesus” is the “Beginning {author/preface} and End {conclusion} of our faith.” Christ Jesus our Living Word of Father God Almighty. Our Lord took our strips on that cross, giving of His Perfect Self that all of mankind could receive the healing when repenting of sins committed before the Throne of Father God Almighty, in the Precious Name of Christ Jesus who is our Advocator as He now sits at the right Hand of Father God Almighty, Faithful and True. It is through repentance that all the weight of sin that besets us is done away with and Father does not want to hear about it once He has forgiven, rather He wants His children to be faithful and serve Him in all love and patience until our Lord Jesus Christ returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords” to this earth to claim His bride {those not deceived by satan} and reign over the Millennial Kingdom teaching. What greater love could Father God have given to His children {mankind} then to take the Flesh through our Lord Jesus Christ and be born from above. This is the “greatest love of all”, and if this does not turn you to love Father in return and be a faithful servant, what shall. You are ripe for the deception of satan if you do not understand these truths. Therefore, bear within your “spiritual mind” that we are continuing to run that race taught of in Verse 1. Fix your “spiritual eyes and heart” on Christ Jesus who is the “finisher” of the race we are a part of which shall be won, completed, if you have faith in our Father. Almighty God’s Word was inspired and spoken through His children of the “Old Testament” and Christ Jesus was born from above to endure the cross for all of mankind, living the Word of Almighty God, and in doing this, our Lord became the “finisher of our faith.” Our Lord “endured” that cross and the “shame” that came with it because of love for His children and seeing the spiritual joy within all those who love Him and Father God Almighty, becoming faithful servants. Christ Jesus, after His resurrection, ascended into Heaven to sit at the right hand of His Father becoming our Advocator to Almighty God, and never leaving us alone, sent His Holy Spirit, our Comforter, to reside with us on this earth. Because of this, you never stand alone when you stand against satan and his entourage as we live within this flesh. Therefore, walking the Christ-like path is within our reach and there is no excuse to not have victory over the trials and tribulations of this world since there is “victory” when you have “faith in our Father.”

Hebrews 12:3 says, “For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.” Meditate on that sacrifice Christ Jesus made on the cross at Calvary in comparison to your trials and tribulation. Think about what our Lord endured as He sacrificed His Perfect Self for you and me, mankind, and stop feeling sorry for yourself when there are hurdles in your path as you walk in the flesh. Christ Jesus rent that veil from Heaven to earth and we are no longer separated from Father God whom we can now come before because of Christ and have those weights of sin removed as Father forgives our transgressions. Removing the guilt of sin through Christ Jesus, our Advocator to Father, frees you from the sting of guilt that weighs you down spiritually, freeing you up so you can continue to run that race until our Lord returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Hebrews 12:4 says, “Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.” Christ Jesus was nailed to that cross, a crown of thorns placed upon His Precious Head, and His Perfect Body bled for us. The race Christ Jesus ran in being pleasing to His Father, there is none other ever created who could have endured that cross as Christ did, finishing the race that upon repentance through Christ before our Father, from a pure and loving heart, our sins are forgiven. Meditate on this great love wherein our Lord paid the price for our sins, defeating death who is satan because of “love.”

Hebrews 12:5 says, “And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:” When Father God loves His children so much as to chastise, thank Him for this blessing of care. If Father did not care, did not love His children, He would simply turn His back and not chastise wrongs committed, leaving you lost within a maze. Praise Almighty God for His correction and ask for His blessings to do better today than you did yesterday. You want to remember that all of your wrongs cannot be blamed on satan. While he is an evil, busy entity always doing wrong, some things that happen within our lives are a result of our own doings. Father will step in one way or the other and discipline His children to keep them on the right path. Welcome Father’s chastisement into your life since this is proof positive that you are most definitely His loved child.

Hebrews 12:6 says, “For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.” Father God corrects His children because He does not want them lost in a world of babble and confusion, always wanting what is best and keeping His children inclined to a spiritual life. Proverbs 3:11 & 12 says, “My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:” “For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son [in whom] he delighteth.” There is no delight to a parent who has an unruly child. The same holds fast for Father God because His love for His children is true and faithful, and it takes discipline to serve our LORD. There is not one created who is perfect, and knowing this, you should feel joyful inside of yourself to know Father wraps His loving arms around you each time He disciplines so you can endure, remain faithful and stay on the course of that race so you are standing with all those who finish, Christ Jesus right there with you. This brings our Father joy, wherein He delights in you.

Hebrews 12:7 says, “If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?” It is imperative that you accept Father’s “chastening” with “humbleness.” Almighty God is our Father and when He sees His children taking the wrong path heading for trouble, because of love, He will correct you so that you return unto Him. Think about parents who have children who are unruly and never correct them. That child is not loved because there is no loving parent to help them stay on the right path to keep them safe from harm. With love comes chastisement which brings about discipline and obedience. Welcome Father’s love and be grateful, thankful that He cares enough to discipline you.

Hebrews 12:8 says, “But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.” Bastard” means “you are disowned, not acknowledged.” If you belong to satan and are doing his will, you are his child, which means you do not belong to Father God, and look at it as Father will not correct you because you are another entity’s child. This is not a safe zone to be a part of. You want to be a part of the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus wherein you are under Father’s chastisement, a wonderful place to be. Therefore, if you do not accept Father’s correction, you are not a part of Him spiritually. All of mankind was created by and for Father God, and when you make a choice to draw away from Father, although He will never leave or forsake you even in your ignorance toward Him, for the pleasures you are seeking to please within the flesh, you are stepping out on your own and Father will let you sink. Anything that is against Father God is for your own personal pleasure so when trouble falls on you, be able to handle it. Love is not sugar coated candy consumed daily since that will decay your teeth. Love is sweet when it comes from Father because everything about it is balanced, fair and just. Loving Father means you accept all that He gives humbly, being thankful which brings about respect for He who created all of mankind for His good pleasure. You want to be under Father’s correction, not away from it.

Hebrews 12:9 says, “Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected [us], and we gave [them] reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?” “Fathers of our flesh” are of course our earthly parents who most often children will respect {reverence} when they correct because love creates respect, an earned emotion. Being subject to correction from the “Father of spirits is the Holy Spirit”, and “live” means to have “eternal life” because of accepting it and doing all you can to be disciplined and obedient because of it. Earthly parents have the best of intentions, trying to do the right thing when they correct their children so they mature appropriately. However flesh shall perish and with that goes the carnal discipline because the body exists no more. Correction from our Father God is so needful because it is chastisement for your spirit self which shall live on eternally when you are obedient to our LORD. In the flesh we have different parents, while in the spirit we have one Parent, Father God Almighty Himself since all souls belong to our Lord [Ezekiel 18:4]. You show love and respect for Father when He corrects by studying His Word because within it is the path to discipline and obedience which is a guide to eternal life.

Hebrews 12:10 says, “For they verily for a few days chastened [us] after their own pleasure; but he for [our] profit, that [we] might be partakers of his holiness.” Our earthly parents, loving their children, do the best they can raising them, chastising when necessary, not knowing what lies in their futures. Our Father God however, knows what lies within the future of His children and He helps {profits} us to do that which is good through loving chastisement that all may be “partakers of His holiness {sanctity, entitled to blessings, the inheritance}, as we reside with our LORD for the Eternity. This is why when Father chastens His children, it serves you well to be thankful and show our LORD appreciation by doing the best you can to improve your spiritual life, studying His Word, seeking understanding so you can stand through this Flesh or Second Earth Age, being a part of the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus through the Millennial Kingdom, and forever with Father God in the Third or Eternal Earth Age.

Hebrews 12:11 says, “Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.” It is only natural to feel hurt when you are chastised by your earthly parents, and of course even more so when Father God chastises when you love and are thankful to Him because you want to be pleasing and know Father receives joy in you since He gives all of His children such joy when you are faithful. Understanding Father’s chastisement, going through the emotions of this so sweet loving correction blossoms a quietness {peaceable fruit of righteousness} within your spiritual self which brings you joy in the blessings of Father God. There is such happiness when you have a spirit inclined to Father. No matter what is happening in your life, when you err and Father has to discipline you, it is so worth it since it brings a peace inside of yourself that you can receive from no other. Be thankful and appreciate Father’s loving chastisement, disciplining your life so you are obedient to Almighty God as you study His Word, walking the Christ-like path since this is the only way you can be a true christian.

Hebrews 12:12 says, “Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;” For those who are just poor little victims, always feeling sorry for themselves, no pep in their step, whining and complaining all the time, simply dismissing the happiness and joy that rests within Father God, take hold of those poor me babies around you and remind them of how great Father is and how wonderful life is when you are under His love. This world is full of babble and confusion, evil and wickedness, so you know it is not of Almighty God since Father God reigns over peace, love and joy. If you are one of these poor little victims or if there are people in your life who are, help them lift up their hands to Father God and stand on our Foundation who is Christ Jesus by studying the Word of Almighty God, seeking that increase of knowledge only He can give so you have reason to stand spiritually and not falter, having strength within your heart and mind so you can be a faithful servant to Father God. Consider the fact that we are all children of Father God and when we help one another through encouraging study of our LORD’s Word, Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Line upon Line, it convicts and draws you out of the foolishness of the world, and Father God, finding pleasure in your communing with Him, has no reason to chastise. Father God has an abundance of grace and mercy to bestow upon His children. There is nothing that goes on within your life that cannot be settled and made peaceful when you study Father’s Word, understand His promises and become a part of His christian family through Christ Jesus who is our Living Word. There is a battle soon to be upon this earth, satan with his lies, trickeries and deceiving wonders, perpetrating a great deception, and you must be ready, armed with Father’s Truths, standing as a faithful servant, ready to do the will of our LORD God Almighty. The end is very near and this is a time to be strong and mighty so you are ready to stand against satan and his entourage, Father God always at the helm. You cannot run the race if your hands are hanging down and your knees are feeble.

Hebrews 12:13 says, “And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.” Through Christ Jesus, relieve yourself of the weight of sin so you can run that race to the finish for Father God Almighty, doing so on a Christ-like path which is the straight path to Father. If you allow yourself to be led from that straight path Christ Jesus taught us to walk, you will be lost in this world with your hands down and feeble knees. What good are you if you have truth within your mind and you allow weakness to cause you to go astray, taking those who you should be a shining example to right along with you wherein they remain lame, not receiving blessings from Father God for that spiritual healing necessary to be His willing servant. Father’s Word is healing and strengthening and this is why it is imperative when you are a plant seeder or teacher of Father’s Word to have true knowledge to share, which eliminates the babble and confusion of those playing church. Proverbs 4:26 & 27 says, “Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.” “Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.” The path to eternal life is not crooked, it is straight and you must be firmly established so you or those who follow you do not stumble, and allow yourself to be led astray. Stay on the straight and narrow of Father’s Word so you are led into His outstretched arms of love. Remember what happened to satan because he left the straight and narrow path, his fate now to become ashes from within since he is the son of perdition.

Hebrews 12:14 says, “Follow peace with all [men], and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:” If possible, and it takes strong prayer and study, pursue peace with people, wherein there is sanctification, purity {holiness} which can only be accomplished through Christ Jesus. Christ is our Living Word and it is through understanding His Word that you have peace and can offer calm which comes through sharing the truth of Father’s Word which eliminates babble, confusion, gossip, critical thinking and all matters of behavior that are not pleasing to Father God. When you do mess up however, repent before Father God Almighty in the Precious Name of Christ Jesus. The torch carried while running the race is the very Word of our LORD God Almighty. Feebleness, which is weakness, means your faith is not as strong as it should be which is certainly not pleasing to Father. As the very elect of Father God, Christ Jesus teaches us how to feed His sheep {children} in John – Chapter 21 that all with ears to hear and eyes to see may become as the very elect, likewise doing the will of our Father so that at the appointed time, all shall be in His presence for the Eternity.

Hebrews 12:15 says, “Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby many be defiled;” “Looking diligently” means “to look upon, inspect, oversee, look after, care for.” “Springing up” means “grow, germination.” “Bitterness” is a “bitter root that produces bitter fruit, gall.” “Trouble you” means “to excite, disturbance, annoy.” “Be defiled” means “to pollute with sins.” Therefore, you must be of a sweet spirit and keep seeds of bitterness from your path and the path of others so this poison does not germinate within your mind, because that poison is satan’s bitter, evil spirit. Keeping on that straight path, finishing the race through the Word of Father God keeps you and others from being polluted with sin which shall cause your hands to hang down and your knees to be weak which brings about a disturbed spirit which is of satan as well.

Hebrews 12:16 says, “Lest there [be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.” “Fornicator” means “a man who prostitutes his body to another's lust for hire.” This is likened to Esau because he sold his birthright for a bowl of mush to feed his flesh as is taught in Genesis – Chapter 25. What Esau did was take that which Father had given to him and sold it to satan, which disregarded the promises of our LORD. This same disobedience shall occur when satan is cast to this earth at the sounding of the Sixth Trump and most of the people of this world, because he comes in peacefully, prosperously, and giving the appearance of Christ Jesus, as Esau, shall sell their souls, prostituting themselves as they lie as a whore {spiritually speaking} in his bed of deception, selling the inheritance Father has given and the birthright into His Eternal Kingdom. This is what happens when you fail to study Father’s Word, understanding those events that shall consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age, having no clue as to the promises Father has made to His children. This is why you must study for yourself, seeking that understanding only Father God can give, removing the doctrines and traditions of men from your life.

Hebrews 12:17 says, “For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.” When Esau repented as is taught in Genesis – Chapter 27 for selling himself to satan for that bowl of mush, he did not repent to Almighty God, he repented to his flesh father in an attempt to get the heritage that had been passed to Jacob. Just like satan, he wanted that which he was not worthy of. His remorse was not because he took responsibility for sinning, it was because his belly was full and he then realized what he had given up in selling his God given heritage, and this poor excuse of a man blamed his brother for having taken it from him. It never even entered his evil, wicked mind to seek forgiveness from Father God, he just wanted his earthly father to fix the problem he placed upon himself. Esau did not have Father within His spirit just like those calling themselves christians as we now live do not, rather, having the spirit of their pulpit gurus whom they revere over Almighty God who is the only One who can forgive your sins repented for through Christ Jesus. When you have no clue that satan is going to be cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind, believing you are going to rapture, fly away, any moment from the earth, doctrines and traditions of men your inheritance, you are the same prostitute Esau was as you become satan’s harlot {spiritually speaking} when you bow down and worship him because you believe he is our True Christ here to rapture you away. With this severe ignorance you will be rejecting Father God Himself, His promises and the inheritance He has promised to you. If you do not understand these truths, you have turned your back on Father God and He does not like that. Father is not interested in you claiming Him with your lips and having hearts that are far from Him, not even knowing what Christ Jesus taught in Matthew - Chapter 24, Mark – Chapter 13, Luke - Chapters 17 & 21 to keep you on the straight and narrow path which leads to the arms of Almighty God.

Hebrews 12:18 says, “For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,” In Exodus Chapter 19 {Verses 10 – 12}, Father instructed Moses to let the people know, even though they had cleansed themselves for two days, they still were not worthy spiritually and they were to stand outside of the border, their feet not to touch Mount Sinai. That spiritual cleansing would come through Christ Jesus who had not yet been born from above. The “Old Testament”, as all of Father’s Word, Christ Jesus being our Living Word, teaches us the way, the path, the truth, to the “Light” for that spiritual cleansing, that path opened when Christ Jesus was born from above. Our Lord sacrificing Himself on that cross at Calvary, rent that veil from top to bottom, which means from Heaven to earth, and having defeated death, who is satan, all of Father’s children can now come before His Throne in the Name of Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 12:19 says, “And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which [voice] they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:” In that same Chapter of Exodus {Verse 16}, when the people heard the voice of Father God, they were frightened, not wanting to hear what Father had to say. As it was, so it is today as those calling themselves christians do not want to hear the voice of Father God which is His Holy Word. They would rather hear the nothingness spoken from the mouths of their pulpit gurus. The “Holy Bible” is the voice of “Almighty God”, and most of the people now upon this earth do not want to hear these truths which brings about discipline, obedience and wisdom because it requires work, which is faithful study. It is impossible to be Christ-like or walk a Christ-like path if you are not disciplined and obedient to the “voice of Father God Almighty.” Because the people who were assembled with Moses trembled and feared Father God, our LORD dismissed them and had Moses come before Him to receive the laws and statutes. Moses would repeat that which Father instructed to the people and it was up to them to follow the Word of our LORD receiving rewards, or turn away from His truths and suffer the consequences of their actions. As it was, so it is today for all of those of this earth who chose not to listen to the Word of Father God wherein are blessings and rewards, rather because of their disobedience, falling prey to satan’s deception when he is cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind because they chose to listen to the doctrines and traditions of men. It is impossible to keep the laws of Father God because flesh is doomed to sin, however there is repentance through Christ Jesus when you hear the voice of Father God, going before His Throne as often as necessary with a pure and remorseful heart seeking forgiveness.

Hebrews 12:20 says, “(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:” This is specifically “Verse 13 of Exodus – Chapter 19.” No man or beast could cross the border Father laid around Mount Sinai and if they did, the penalty was death because of disobedience. There were laws in place and Father expected them to be observed and when they were not, sacrifices were offered for their sins through the priests of Almighty God. All of these practices were done away with the coming of Christ Jesus. While not one jot of the laws of Father have changed, there is no longer a need for sacrifices before Almighty God since Christ Jesus, having paid the price for one and all times, is now our Intercessor to Father God and we may repent as often as is necessary, which is every day since flesh is sinful in nature. Father God has given mankind an awesome privilege with repentance, eliminating all excuses, and still so many of mankind chose to carry around their sins, weighing their spiritual selves down, placing distance between themselves and Father God by choice. A time is coming when once again the voice of Almighty God shall cause the earth to tremble as is taught in Revelation 16:17 & 18 which says, “And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.” “And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, [and] so great.” His Name is Christ Jesus, our “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Hebrews 12:21 says, “And so terrible was the sight, [that] Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)” This is Exodus 19:19 – 25, the people, Moses as well, fearful, however Moses obeyed the voice of Father who commanded Him to enter into that border of Mount Sinai, the City of Almighty God, because he was faithful, disciplined and obedient which is love for Father. Moses came before our “Consuming Fire, Father God who spoke to him through a burning bush in Exodus – Chapter 3. Father God wants His children to boldly, which means confidently, come before Him, and to not do so timidly, which means with apprehension. Father is not to be feared, He is to be revered {loved}, and Moses was so privileged to stand before our LORD God Almighty. While as we live in this generation we cannot be so privileged, the way to Father God is still free from stubble as we approach Him through the Holy Spirit, in the Name of Christ Jesus. Father loves us and He wants all of His children to speak with Him confidently since this shows love and faith.

Hebrews 12:22 says, “But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,” Father God has written to us, through His Word, the plan for salvation, who is Christ Jesus, when through the Holy Spirit, sins are repented for. Christ Jesus, after His crucifixion, went back to the time of Noah offering salvation to all who had been born before His coming to this earth as is taught in I Peter 3:18 – 22. Father God shall use whomever He so pleases, even the angels who are in Heaven, to help His children in time of need when you are a part of His family. Father God promised that He would never leave or forsake His children and our LORD always, always keeps His promises. It is His children who leave and forsake Him, too busy playing church, lost in the ways of the world, involved in all matters of foolishness, having time for everything and everyone, full of energy for nonsense, however too lazy to spend time with Father studying, praying and seeking understanding of His Word, Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse. You want to be a part of the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus, and not a part of the body of this world which shall surely perish at the sounding of the Seventh Trumpet.

Hebrews 12:23 says, “To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,” The “general assembly and the church of the firstborn” are the “very elect” of Father God whom He chose before the foundation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age [Ephesians – Chapter 1 and Romans – Chapter 8]. “Just” means “the zadok {righteous, observing divine laws}.” The very elect were chosen and judged in the Heavenly or First Earth Age because when satan [lucifer] rebelled against Father God [Ezekiel – Chapter 28], they stood with Father against satan and his entourage. Just as the very elect stood in the Age that was, they shall likewise “stand against satan” when he is cast to this earth at the Sixth Trump wherein he will be deceiving most of mankind into believing he is our True Christ here to rapture them away. The names of the very elect are written in the “Book of Life” as is taught in Revelation 20:6 which says, “Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” When Christ Jesus returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords”, the very elect, as all of mankind, shall be changed from their flesh bodies into their spiritual bodies, however the very elect shall have immortal souls [Revelation 20:4 -6], while all those who did not stand with Father in the First Earth Age and as well are deceived in this Second Earth Age by the first/false christ [satan], shall have mortal souls. Those spiritual bodies with mortal souls shall be a part of the second testing or resurrection when satan is loosed for a short period after the Millennial Kingdom teaching [Revelation 20:7 & 8] and all mortal souls who remain faithful to the teachings of Christ, will overcome, and all those who still follow death [satan], shall not be a part of everlasting life.

Hebrews 12:24 says, “And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than [that of] Abel.” Salvation came about into the lives of Father’s children through the shed blood of Christ Jesus, while Abel’s shed blood cried out to Father to avenge him. Christ Jesus’ “blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things” has led mankind straight to the “Throne of Father God”, that veil having been rent from Heaven to earth, top to bottom, Christ now our Mediator to Father God Almighty, and therefore all are without excuse. I Timothy 2:5 & 6 says, “For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” “Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” Surely the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest love of all as He is our Advocator to Father God, now sitting at His right hand, and all those who love, believe, trust the promises of, repenting of sins upon acceptance of the New Covenant, may approach Father God freely, heart to heart by the blessing of the Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 12:25 says, “See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape], if we turn away from him that [speaketh] from heaven:” Many did not listen to Moses {that spake on earth} who gave them the Old Covenant as commanded by Father God, refusing to listen and Father was not pleased. Christ Jesus now sits at the right hand of Father God, having left mankind the blessing of His Holy Spirit, is our New Covenant as He speaks to us through the “Holy Bible.” If you are not studying Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, you have no idea what the teachings of Christ Jesus are. Knowledge and understanding comes from faithful study, showing yourself approved unto Father God who is the only One who can grant that increase of understanding His truths. It is impossible to run the race and stand for Father God when you have no idea of His instructions because you are not listening to our Living Word who is Christ Jesus, which means you are turning away from Father God.

Hebrews 12:26 says, “Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.” The voice of Father God shook the earth when He spoke to Moses and the children [Exodus – Chapter 19], and there is a time yet to come when our LORD’s voice shall shake Heaven and earth. Haggai 2:6 & 7 says, “For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it [is] a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry [land];” “And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.” This shaking shall begin when that Seventh Trumpet sounds and our Lord Jesus Christ returns to this earth as “King of kings and Lord of lords to reign over the Millennial Kingdom teaching.” The one world religious system of satan shall crumble into nothingness as our Lord Jesus Christ is Ruler of all the earth. Isaiah 65:17 says, “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.” Revelation 21:1 says, “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.” That shaking will end when our Father God Almighty with all of His Heavenly hosts descends to this earth which shall be a new Heaven and a new Jerusalem.

Hebrews 12:27 says, “And this [word], Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.” While there will be a “shaking upon the earth and in Heaven”, there shall be a “spiritual shaking” as well, and if you are standing upon the “Rock, who is Christ Jesus”, you have nothing to fear since you will not be removed from that “Foundation” as you continue to run the race crossing the finished line right into the arms of our “True Bridegroom who is Christ Jesus.” It is love for Father God, obedience to His Word, understanding His Truths, always remaining faithful that shall keep you from those doctrines and traditions of men that would cause you to stumble and fall.

Hebrews 12:28 says, “Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:” There is assurance in the Word of Father God that brings you joy when you have understanding of what “thus saith our LORD.” Knowledge of Father’s Word, understanding the Parables Christ Jesus told all of mankind to know and understand, will keep you standing on a solid “Rock who is Christ Jesus”, and there is nothing that can separate you from the love of Father God who extends grace and mercy upon all those who are faithful to Him through our Intercessor, Christ Jesus. Father God loves all of His children, however He shall not be pleased and will be angry at all who bow down and worship His enemy who is satan because of Biblical ignorance, therefore they have reason to tremble, shake and fall. To serve “Father God acceptably with reverence and godly fear {esteem}”, you have to know and understand all those things Christ Jesus taught in Matthew - Chapter 24, Mark – Chapter 13, Luke - Chapters 17 & 21.

Hebrews 12:29 says, “For our God [is] a consuming fire.” This is tender love, grace, kindness, protection and warmth to those in Father’s service, His Holy Spirit, “Father’s glory present.” However, to the enemies of our LORD and Christ Jesus, it shall burn their souls from within [satan, the fallen angels], and those who shall allow themselves to be deceived when satan is cast to this earth shall feel the might of Father’s chastisement, His wrath because of it. Those who shall follow satan believing he is our True Christ shall see a time of discipline and sorrow during the Millennial Kingdom as the very elect will receive their just, earned “rewards” for running the race and standing for Father God, faithfully. Our LORD God Almighty is fair and just in all of His ways. That which you deserve, you shall receive. Study the Word of Father God, feel the joy He brings through Christ Jesus, and be blessed by the Holy Spirit when “YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty and Yeshua, Christ Jesus” is your life!

BOOK OF HEBREWS

HEBREWS – CHAPTER 11
Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” “Faith” means “the conviction that God exists and is the creator and ruler of all things, the provider and bestower of eternal salvation through Christ - a strong and welcome conviction or belief that Jesus is the Messiah, through whom we obtain eternal salvation in the kingdom of God – trust, confidence.” “Substance” means “confidence, firm trust, assurance – steadfastness of mind.” “Evidence” means “a proof, that by which a thing is proved or tested, conviction.” This is the “Faith Chapter” we are now studying. “Faith” cannot be seen, it is “hoped {trusted}” for and “evidenced” by the promises of Father God, which is the “substance” of our faith through Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 11:2 says, “For by it the elders obtained a good report.” “Obtained a good report” means “to be a witness, to bear witness, i.e. to affirm that one has seen or heard or experienced something, or that he knows it because taught by divine revelation or inspiration.” The elders pleased Father as His faithful servants and we have their testimony through the “Holy Bible.” This is where faith comes in because you cannot see, feel or touch it that which is spiritual. It is belief in knowing that Father has made promises to His children and knowing He always keeps His Word, your faith is what drives you to claim those promises so that you can endure until the end. Father is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and so is His Word.

Hebrews 11:3 says, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” “Worlds” means “periods of time – ages.” Therefore, “Through faith we understand that the “ages” were framed by the word of God…”, which would be the “Three Earth Ages” taught of in II Peter – Chapter 3. The First Earth Age was when we were within our spiritual souls before we were born in the flesh into this Second Earth Age, and the Third Earth Age is yet to come being that time we shall return to our spiritual bodies and be a part of the Eternal Kingdom of Father God Almighty and Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 11:4 says, “By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.” Absent from the body is present with our LORD, and while Cain slew the flesh of Abel, he could not kill the spirit which returned to He who breathed the breath of life into it, Father God. Abel, being righteous, offered excellent sacrifices to Father God [Genesis 4:4] because he had faith which brought about his obedience, and this pleased our LORD. The righteous acts of Abel teach us the way in which we are to please Father, being under His will, serving our LORD faithfully. Cain, the son of satan, having no faith in Father, there being no love or obedience in his sacrifice [Genesis 4:5], did no good thing to please Almighty God, rather, he did the deeds of the devil; he was the first murderer.

Hebrews 11:5 says, “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.” Enoch pleased Father God in that he preached, of the fallen angels as is recorded in Jude – Chapter 1 wherein he taught the children of Father God, during the time of Noah’s flood, not to mix with those fallen angels who left their habitation, not being born from above as Father commanded, rather doing the deeds of their father, the devil, in an attempt to destroy the blood-line of our Lord Jesus. Christ Jesus, Himself taught these same truths about the fallen Angels in Matthew – Chapter 24 {37 – 39} since as it was, it shall be in this generation when satan is cast to this earth with his fallen angels, and those {mankind} not having the veil [I Corinthians 11:10] of Christ Jesus over their heads {in your mind}, risk spiritual harlotry with these enemies of Father God as they give and take in marriage with the lusts {deception} of the devil. It was because of Enoch’s faith that he was obedient to Father God and for this cause he was lifted up to Heaven as Christ Jesus and Elijah were, there being no flesh remains since they were transfigured.

Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” “Impossible” means “unable to be done or accomplished.” “Diligently” means “to seek out, search for - sincerely.” Father God “rewards” His children who seek Him through faithful study of His Word, searching out all matters of truth since this is the only way to truly know Father and that He surely exists. Faith is the “door to Heaven”, and it is impossible to “please” Father and receive His blessing if you do not bless our LORD through Christ Jesus who is our Living Word. When you doubt or question Father that means you are not a partaker of faith, lacking trust in His love and promises. Father created the Heavens and the earth and when you do not believe in His existence, there is no need likewise to expect blessings {rewards}. Christ Jesus is the Way, the Path and the Truth to the Light of our life, who is Father God Almighty. Father does not want His children, especially those calling themselves christians calling out to Him with their lips and having hearts far from Him because they have no understanding of His Word [Isaiah 29:13 – 18]. The written Word of Father God is not to be read, it is to be “studied for understanding” since that is the only way to belief which brings about faith as you diligently seek Father who rewards His children who truly know and love Him. Knowing that you are pleasing to Father is reward enough in that it brings you joy and causes Father to receive great pleasure in you.

Hebrews 11:7 says, “By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.” “Fear” means “love, revere.” Noah, loving Father God which means He believed in His existence, trusted Father’s command {build an ark – Genesis – Chapter 6} and had faith to do the will of our LORD without question or doubt. Noah was building an ark upon dry land, no water to be seen anywhere, for a reason. The very elect of this generation understand the mocking Noah endured at that time since as the election plant seeds of truth to those calling themselves christians, they mock those truths as they stand on the doctrines and traditions of men rather than seeking truth from Father’s Word. As Noah, those of this generation, which is the last, had best establish a relationship with Father God through Christ Jesus since He has foretold us all things in the Books of Daniel, Revelation, the Minor Prophets and all throughout His Word wherein prophecy teaches of those events that shall occur as this Flesh or Second Earth Age comes to its end. As Noah, you had best build your ark and be prepared to take action against satan and his fallen angels when they are cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind which is that flood that shall be drowning {spiritually speaking} most of the people of this world. Just as Noah was upon that vessel for five months having been obedient to Father and escaped that destruction placed upon the whole earth, there is another five month period coming. During this five month period satan shall be upon this earth sitting in Father’s most favorite place deceiving most of the world into believing he is our True Christ here to rapture them away [­Revelation – Chapter 9]. If you are a part of the deception, you failed to build that ark, which is knowledge to escape the deception of the first/false christ and you will drown in satan’s flood of lies {Revelation – Chapter 16 {12 – 14}. The ark of Noah is likened to the ark of knowledge mankind should be riding upon, which is the truth of Father God’s Word, having faith that all things shall come to pass exactly as they have been foretold [Matthew – Chapter 24 {37 – 42].

Hebrews 11:8 says, “By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.” Abraham did not question that which Father commanded him to do, which was to take up his family and move to an unknown place, receiving a blessing from Father [Genesis – Chapter 12 because he had faith, trusting with confidence that which our LORD spoke unto him. When you are under the will of Father God, an obedient servant to His word, you know that this world is a place you are passing through to a land rich with a promised inheritance where you will reside with Father in the Eternal Kingdom. It is time to stop playing church and move to a new place Father has commanded you to go wherein lies your inheritance because you have faith in Father, belief in Christ Jesus’ promised return, obedience to Father’s written word, trusting that wherever Father sends you, He will be there to protect you because you are obedient and faithful.

Hebrews 11:9 says, “By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as [in] a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:” That promise to Abraham from Father God has carried down through the generations right up to and including this final generation we now live in. “Sojourned” means “to dwell in.” All of mankind should be living a life pleasing to Father God so that you are a part of the promise as is taught of in Revelation 21:7 which says, “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.” “All the children of Almighty God” who “overcome” shall share in the rewards {inheritance} of the Heavenly Kingdom. Ezekiel – Chapter 44 teaches of the rewards the election of Father God shall receive, for “Christ is our inheritance.” Romans 8:17 says, “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him that we may be also glorified together.” Everything great and small belongs to our Father and sharing in that allotment within the Eternal paradise as His child should draw any and all into Father God’s Word wherein you become faithful to our LORD’s will with confidence. Psalms 37:34 says, “Wait on the LORD, and keep His way, and He shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.”

Hebrews 11:10 says, “For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker [is] God.” “Looked for” means to “wait for, look forward to.” It is that “holy city” taught of in Revelation 21:1 - 3 which says, “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.” “And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God.” This “city” is “build of, by and for our Father”, for He is the “Master Builder” thereof, and all having faith through Christ Jesus who is our “Foundation”, doing the will of our LORD without doubt or question, will enter in being joint heirs with Christ Jesus, garbed in righteous acts. All of mankind shall be a part of the Eternal Age if they pass the test and do not follow satan into perdition. However, not all shall share or be a part of the same inheritance since Father God is fair and just and rewards according to the actions of each of His children independently. If you are a part of the many-membered body of Christ Jesus, you should be eating the strong meat of His Word, being a faithful servant to Father wherein you are not a part of the deception of the first/false christ when he is cast to this earth.

Hebrews 11:11 says, “Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.” Sara was 90 years old when, through the promise of Father and her faith, always having wanted a child, she did. She laughed because of her age not because she did not have faith {judged Him faithful} in Father, her heart joyful at the thought of bearing a child under the “full assurance of our LORD who is Faithful and True [Genesis 18:9 – 15].” Father named the son of Sara and Abraham “Isaac”, which means “he laughs, laughter.” There is nothing “impossible” for our Lord God Almighty and when He speaks of a matter, so it shall be. How effectual it is towards you is according to your faith in Father.

Hebrews 11:12 says, “Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, [so many] as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.” The child, Isaac, was born of Sara and Abraham, who was 100 years old {as good as dead}, just as Father God promised. “Abraham” which means “the father of many nations [Genesis – Chapter 22 {17 & 18}]”, through faith was a servant of our Father, therefore a part of the plan of Almighty God. To know and be a part of Father’s plan you must know what “thus saith our LORD” and the only way to have this knowledge is through “faithful study of His Word, seeking that increase of understanding only Father can give, finding assurance in His promises because you know what they are.” Comprehending the “Word of God {Holy Bible}” brings about the working of faith within your spiritual life, along with patience {a spiritual marriage}, to continue doing the will of our LORD since this is the only way to please Father God [Romans 4:16 – 25].

Hebrews 11:13 says, “These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of [them], and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.” “Strangers and pilgrims on the earth” means “foreigner/stranger – sojourning in a strange place {the Second or Flesh Earth Age}.” All of these children of Father God were a part of “His Perfect Plan” who is “Christ Jesus.” All of these people, through their faith in our LORD, being obedient, patient, trusting, confident, having full assurance in Almighty God, did all things they were instructed to based on their belief, knowing, never doubting, all of the promises Father made would happen just as He said they would even though they would not live in the flesh long enough to see Father’s plan unfold. Father God blessed all of these children, His faithful servants, and as you will read in I Peter 3:18 – 20, Christ Jesus, while He was yet in the tomb after His crucifixion, went to all those souls who had passed away before His promised coming and taught them that they too could taste of the sweet savor of “Salvation, who is Christ Jesus, to be worthy of Father God Almighty”, their acceptance, freeing them from the bondage of sin in this Second or Flesh Earth Age.

Hebrews 11:14 says, “For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.” “Country” means “one’s fatherland {Father God}, a fixed abode or home {Heavenly or Third Earth Age} – opposition, Second or Flesh Earth Age - marked falsely, spurious [satan].” True christians {the very elect} feel within their hearts that this earth is not their home. This is why it is so important to understand why you were born from above. The “country” they seek is within the Heavenly abode of Father God Almighty. All of Father’s children shall be born from above, except for the fallen angels, passing through this Flesh Age, residing in a particular place, country, naturally wanting to be under the protection of Father. However, the “country” your soul seeks is to be within your spiritual body wherein you reside with Father God in the Heavenly or Third Earth Age. Liken this to Jacob, who abode with Father God, and Esau who abode with satan.

Hebrews 11:15 says, “And truly, if they had been mindful of that [country] from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.” Once you have accepted and love Christ Jesus as your Savior, believing in Father God Almighty, thankful for the Comfort of His Spirit, you leave the lusts of the world behind you, seeking spiritual direction through studying the strong meat of Father’s Word, becoming a vessel wherein you are a part of His plan, serving Father as He calls on you. This means you are going forward, and not going or looking back just as Abraham, when Father commanded him to go into a new place, wherein lies his inheritance, so is the path of the election as we now live, our eyes no longer on the physical things of life, rather those things that are spiritual. Once your eyes are open to be with Father in His Heavenly City, there is no looking back as you know and understand you are but a sojourner on this earth, walking under the sun for a short time. “Father’s Home is Eternal” and the place where all of Father’s children should be longing to reside forever. Lot’s wife looked back and became a pillar of salt. You should be looking forward to the return of Christ Jesus as He reigns over the Millennial Kingdom teaching, and at its end, Father God Almighty Himself descending right here where we are, a New Jerusalem, a New Heaven, our Eternal Home.

Hebrews 11:16 says, “But now they desire a better [country], that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.” Mankind was created to bring Father pleasure, and that pleasure comes to our LORD when He knows His children have faith and trust in Him, being confident in His promises, longing to be His servant while waiting patiently for our Lord Jesus Christ to return, yearning to be reunited with our Father after the Millennial Kingdom teaching, which brings Him joy. Father wants to delight in His children in a New Jerusalem, a New Heaven as is taught in Revelation – Chapter 21, that holy city. Verses 1 – 4 say, “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.” “And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God.” “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

Hebrews 11:17 says, “By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten [son],” “Tried” means to be “tested.” Father knows His children, however He tests their faith as well to see if you and I will be obedient to His will, trusting and knowing His promises that you will overcome and be pleasing to Almighty God. Father does not test you to see what flavor of ice cream you like. Father will test you to see if you are faithful to Him and His perfect plan, that you are, from your heart, mind and soul, a vessel to do His will, His work. Imagine an earthly father being asked to sacrifice his own child [Genesis – Chapter 22] as Abraham was and doing so “confidently” because of untainted faith in Father God Almighty who promised this child being offered, Abraham’s offspring, would be as numerous as the stars of the sky and as the sands of the sea. Father called out from Heaven as this child was about to be sacrificed and a lamb was offered in his place. Father God keeping His promise as that lamb offered on that day was symbolic of our “Sacrificial Lamb who would be coming, who is our Lord Jesus Christ.” When you have faith as Abraham you know that “Father God is Faithful and True” and would never, ever do anything to hurt His children and surely never break a promise. When there is a falling away from Father, it is you or I who staggers, because Father God is “steadfast, true to His promises.”

Hebrews 11:18 says, “Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:” This is the promise Father God made to Abraham; that our Lord Jesus Christ would come through His seed, being born from above to walk upon the earth with mankind. That our Lord would be our “Perfect Sacrifice” upon that cross at Calvary. That our Lord would be “offered” that our sins would be forgiven as He took our stripes and shed His blood that we may receive that spiritual healing through repentance. It was our Lord, through His sacrifice that the veil was rent from Heaven to earth that all can now come before the “Throne of Father God Almighty in love, repenting of sins upon belief and love for Christ Jesus who is our Advocator to our LORD God Almighty, by the blessing of the Holy Spirit.” Father God does not want any of mankind to offer their children as a sacrifice unto Him. Father wants His children to be as Abraham, having a mind that is loving, confident and faithful, assured in our LORD, demonstrating obedience to and being a part of “His Perfect Plan” wherein you will never bow down and worship the first/false christ in ignorance. There is only one way to be obedient to Father God and that is by understanding the truth of His Word. Mankind’s “Perfect Sacrifice was offered through Christ Jesus”, and because of this, there is no need for any other offering or sacrifice necessary. Father God does not want your offerings, He wants your love.

Hebrews 11:19 says, “Accounting that God [was] able to raise [him] up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.” If you should ever wonder why our Father would even have asked Abraham to offer his son as a sacrifice, “think.” Father always teaches His children through examples just as Christ Jesus did when He walked with mankind; parables. It was “YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty Himself who offered His Only Begotten Son, Yeshua, Christ Jesus, as a Perfect Sacrifice, our Lamb slain” for the sins of mankind. Father God’s Son paid the price for the transgressions committed by mankind as we walk in these flesh bodies. Abraham’s son was spared and our Lord Jesus Christ gave His life on that cross because of pure love. Knowing these truths, it should most definitely be “impossible not” to have faith in Father God Almighty, who is always “Faithful and True.”

Hebrews 11:20 says, “By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.” “Things to come” means “to be about – a future time.” When you have faith and are pleasing to Father God, understanding His truths and being a part of and having knowledge of the events that shall consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age, your blessings from Father will be abundant because you are under His will, having faith in His promises, a good and faithful servant. Otherwise, while you claim to have faith, Father God loving all of His children, He will hate your deeds as you bow down and worship the first/false christ because you failed to understand His truths and be a part of His plan, not evening knowing our True Christ from the first/false christ who is the anti-christ, satan. Therefore, just as Jacob received a great inheritance and Esau received a lesser inheritance, so shall it be within the Kingdom of Father God, the Eternal Age. Father blesses according to your deeds from the First Earth Age {spiritual} and this Second Earth Age {flesh}. From the First Earth Age when you stood with Father against satan {lucifer} when he rebelled, and in this Second Earth Age, knowing the first to come is satan disguised as our True Christ, again standing with Father, never bowing down and worshipping the beast [satan]. According to your love, faith and obedience shall be the measure of your reward when you stand with Father. For those who were in opposition to Father in the First Earth Age, and likewise in this Second Earth Age, bowing down and worshipping satan believing him to be our True Christ, because of this deed, your Heavenly inheritance shall be of far less measure. Think of it in this way; instead of being garbed in a long, flowing, beautiful robe of righteous acts, you will be garbed in enough to keep you presentable within the sight of Father God and all the Heavenly hosts.

Hebrews 11:21 says, “By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, [leaning] upon the top of his staff.” Father God made a promise to Jacob [Genesis 48:3 & 4] and he had faith in this promise and blessed Father because of it. There is only one way to bless Father God and that is by acknowledging understanding of His promises, which can only come from knowing them, which requires studying Father’s Word spiritually, seeking the increase of knowledge only He can give so you are a part of His promises and inheritance.

Hebrews 11:22 says, “By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.” The promise Father God made was that His children would exodus from the tyranny of Pharaoh, and Joseph, as Jacob, never doubted Father, having faith in His promises. Joseph knowing he would not live long enough to be a part of the exodus, still knowing that Father is always “Faithful and True”, received the promise from his own that his bones be buried in that promised land of milk and honey {inheritance}, and they were [Joshua – Chapter 24 {32}]. All of these things are an example for this generation. Faith is the key that opens up your spiritual relationship with Father God. Without faith, it is impossible to have the “Word of Almighty God” sealed within your mind, who is “Christ Jesus, our Living Word.” If you lack knowledge it is impossible to be familiar with the promises of Father, rather, believing in the doctrines and traditions of men that shall keep you from that land of milk and honey when you bow down and worship the first/false christ who is satan. Faith brings blessings from Father God and it is “impossible” to be blessed if you are void of Father’s Truths. Faith, with works, is that deed that brings about blessings within the Eternal or Heavenly Age which is yet to come wherein you are a part of the heritage of Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 11:23 says, “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw [he was] a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.” “Moses” means “drawing out {from the water}.” “He was a proper child” means “he was a blessed child {the Spirit of Father God within him could be felt}.” “Three” means “resurrection, divine completeness and perfection.” Moses’ parents had great faith to know, after three months of nurturing this child, to place him in a basket to travel in an unsafe environment [Exodus – Chapter 2] trusting he was under Father God’s protection since Pharaoh had declared the death of all male children at their birth, and as well, it was the Nile River. This was the child Father would have to lead His children out of the bondage of Pharaoh to the promised land. When you are under the “Hand of Father God”, there is not one who can harm you. Romans 8:31 says, “What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?” Father sits high and looks low, and knowing all things are according to His good will should eliminate all your fears “if” you have faith.

Hebrews 11:24 says, “By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;” Moses grew up having a life of luxury and would have been heir to the throne of Egypt. However, Moses came to realize that these people who were supposed to be his family were not followers of Father God. He came to realize they had no interest in being a part of Father’s love and living their lives to be pleasing to He who created all things for His good pleasure. They believed they had the power as they worshipped false gods and oppressed Father’s children. As you now live in this flesh, be careful of your walk since satan blesses as well and he will give you all the earthly things your little heart desires if you will stay Biblically illiterate so you can bow down and worship him when he is cast to this earth for the great deception. Father blesses those who bless Him. Our LORD does have mercy on the spiritually dead, however you can be sure those blessings are to keep you from sinking and not affording you a life of luxury, rather, those things you have need of because Father is merciful.

Hebrews 11:25 says, “Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;” As we walk in this flesh, it is for a “short season.” All are born from above not to live a life of luxury, rather, to chose as to whether you will love and follow Father God, or, love and follow satan. All flesh shall die or be changed {spiritual body, coming of Christ Jesus} at some point, however the “Third or Eternal Age” is just that, never-ending. Think! Where would you rather have your inheritance, your blessings; in an Age that shall surely die, or, in the Eternal Age. To have what you may consider all now with earthly possessions could mean you are playing a game of chance wherein you decided to have the pleasures of the short-lived flesh life over the “never-ending Eternal blessings while residing {spiritual body} with Father God within His Eternal Kingdom.” As Moses, understand and have faith to know that the luxuries of this life shall die, and live this life in love for and in the service of “Father God Almighty who is Everlasting.” When instead of jesus is cast to this earth, who is satan, he will come peacefully and prosperously [Daniel – Chapter 11 {24}], otherwise you will not believe he is our True Christ. If you are not bearing the gospel armor which is the truth of Father’s Word within your mind and heart, you will bow down and worship him as he pleases all the desires of your little heart with earthly treasures. This is the “apostasy [II Thessalonians – Chapter 2]”, which is that “falling away from Father God”, and it shall take place in this generation you now live in. Without faith in Father God, it is impossible to stand against the devil.

Hebrews 11:26 says, “Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.” Moses had faith in Father God and knew the blessings of our LORD far exceeded anything Pharaoh had to offer. This earth is not our home. King Solomon [Book of Ecclesiastes] had all any individual could ever want or wish for in this flesh and there was still no satisfaction. “Christ Jesus is mankind’s inheritance” and to share in this blessing, this perfect joy, you must love, respect, discipline yourself, be obedient to, trust in, and most of all have “faith in Father God Almighty.” Remember the very first Verse of this Chapter which says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Open your spiritual eyes and ears seeking that increase of truth only Father God can give through Christ Jesus so you are as one of His very elect who shall be garbed in righteous acts {arrayed in white robes} in the Third or Eternal Age as is taught in Revelation – Chapter 7.

Hebrews 11:27 says, “By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.” Moses believed in our Father and knew he was within and under the Hand of our LORD God Almighty. Just as Moses, when you are walking that Christ-like path, you no longer fear the doctrines and traditions of men. To know Father God is to love Him and that knowledge and love can only come from studying His Word, the Holy Bible, asking through Christ Jesus for that understanding only Father God can give when you believe, repent and take on the whole armor of Father God by studying His Word, that strong meat, Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Line upon Line, and turn your back on the philosophies of pulpit gurus who shall lead you straight into the bed of satan {spiritually speaking}. “Faith in Father God” will keep you from all hurt, harm and the dangers of this world because you are doing His will, which is pleasing to our LORD, and keeps you under His grace and mercy.

Hebrews 11:28 says, “Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.” Father God commanded Moses to have His children place the blood of a lamb over their doorposts so that when the death angel passed over the land of Egypt slaying the first born, those covered under the “Blood of the Lamb slain” would be protected [Exodus – Chapter 12]. They acted and believed because of faith in our Father. “Christ Jesus is now our Passover” as He offered Himself on that cross for our sins and because of this “greatest love of all”, mankind can now “sprinkle the Blood of the Lamb {Christ}” over the doorposts of our minds so that the death angel, who is satan, will pass over all those who have the seal of Father God’s Word within their minds [Revelation 9:1 – 4] when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ [Revelation 12:7 – 9]. When you partake of Holy Communion, symbolic of the Body and Blood of Christ Jesus, this should not be done so as a tradition or ritual, rather in pure love to our Father and His Beloved Son, having faith to hear and do what “thus saith our LORD.”

Hebrews 11:29 says, “By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry [land]: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.” Father God commanded Moses to lift his rod and the Red Sea parted by the power of our LORD, and by faith the children walked on dry ground between the waters to safety because they believed [Exodus – Chapter 14]. However, those that hunted them perished when the waters drowned them because they had no faith in our LORD and were not under His protection. Father God always takes care of His own when you have faith, and He will always, always deliver you from the enemy, satan and his entourage. Without faith, you will drown in your lack of knowledge of Father’s Word, because you cannot believe in what you have no understanding of.

Hebrews 11:30 says, “By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.” “Seven” means “completeness, spiritual completeness.” Father God commanded Joshua and the children to encompass Jericho going round about the whole city and on the “seventh day the walls came tumbling down”, Father giving His children that gift, freedom from their enemies. For seven days the priests blew the trumpets as they marched around that city with the children until the walls fell [Joshua – Chapter 6] which showed their discipline and obedience to our Father, and because of their faith, Father God delivered His children once more from bondage. As we live in this generation, at the sounding of the “Seventh Trumpet, Christ Jesus shall return to this earth as King of kings and Lord of lords” to deliver His children as the walls once again shall come tumbling down around satan and his entourage who were cast to this earth at the sounding of the “Sixth Trumpet” to place the Biblically illiterate into bondage, which is the babble and confusion of Babylon. All of Father’s children who have faith in His promises are disciplined and obedient to His Word and they are called the very elect. Heed the warning as the alarm is being sounded as the walls of this Second or Flesh Earth Age are soon to fall, and stop playing church. Open the Word of Father God and study to show yourself approved, understanding all those events that shall consummate the end of this Age so you are not a part of the greatest deception ever to be perpetrated upon mankind. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and there is no hope in the things you have no knowledge of.

Hebrews 11:31 says, “By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.” “Rahab” means “wide, spacious.” Rahab {Hebrew name} was of the ancestry of Christ Jesus, Matthew 1:5 saying, “And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab {Greek name}; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;” Rahab, because she was a businesswoman, as is sometimes the case as we now live, because of her success, was labeled a harlot by jealous tongues. She was a maker of fine materials and the flax {fiber used to make linen} used was placed on the roof to dry. It is under this flax that Rahab hid the messengers sent to spy out Jericho by Joshua [Joshua – Chapter 2] as Father God commanded0. Rehab knew Father God had sent these messengers just as she knew what was about to befall Jericho, and it was her faith in Father that led this woman to protect them from harm threatened by the king of Jericho. It was because of her faith in Father God that she, her family and all possessions were spared by our LORD. Father God blessed this woman because of her faith in Him which she showed in that Rehab felt no fear from the king because she knew Father always takes care of His own. This is the same faith that is required to stand against satan at the appointed time in this generation, all knowing that Father has authority over all matters and He will never leave or forsake His children who are obedient and faithful, knowing His plan because you are studying the truth of His Word.

Hebrews 11:32 says, “And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and [of] Barak, and [of] Samson, and [of] Jephthae; [of] David also, and Samuel, and [of] the prophets:” Paul is letting you know that he could speak endlessly about all those men and women of Father’s Word who were faithful because they trusted our LORD, never doubting, thankful to be pleasing as His servants. If you are a doubter, simply unsure, one who plays church, wonders why you are not blessed, or your spirit is just not feeling joy, return to Father God. Open your Holy Bible, asking Father to bless you with understanding, and come to the knowledge of all these Paul named, and so many more. Bless and thank Father as you come to understand the power of faith and how much this pleases Almighty God as you give him love, praise, glory, serving in obedience, faithfully, because you are disciplined within His Word, understanding promises that will keep you from the doctrines and traditions of men, and most of all from satan when he is cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind.

Hebrews 11:33 says, “Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,” Not one of these achievements could have been accomplished by anyone without having Father God right there with them and our LORD would never leave or forsake any of them because of their love and faith toward He who created all for His pleasure. To please Father, you must be in His service. Everything belongs to Father, including you and me. You want to see the mouths of the enemies shut, call on Father, having complete faith and trust in Him to take care of His own. Christ Jesus is our Advocator to Father God and there is no one who can stand between you and our Living Word, but you. Stand upon the Rock of our foundation who is Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 11:34 says, “Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.” You want to see your enemies shocked, taking flight and weakening to the point of taking a great fall, show them your faith in Father God. Christ Jesus was born from above to walk with mankind, giving of His Perfect Self on that cross at Calvary, declaring for all of mankind that He left His Spirit to be with us and His Holy Word to stand upon in battle against the enemies of Father God Almighty. Christ Jesus showed you the way, the path, to the truth of the Light. The son of perdition, satan, has no power whatsoever except for that which you give him. Christ Jesus gave us power over all of our enemies. Open your Holy Bible and prove these truths, studying Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Precept upon Precept, communing with Father God in the Name of Christ Jesus and be prepared to do battle against satan and his entourage when they are cast to this earth, standing on faith, knowing Father always takes care of His own.

Hebrews 11:35 says, “Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:” Hebrews 11:36 says, “And others had trial of [cruel] mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:” Hebrews 11:37 says, “They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;” Hebrews 11:38 says, “(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and [in] mountains, and [in] dens and caves of the earth.” All of these children named and spoken of are from the “Old Testament.” All endured what was necessary for the pure love of Father God and they never turned their backs on Him, rather, they stood up to the enemies of Almighty God knowing that all things would work to the good of all, meaning even those generations that were yet to come. Faith in Father God kept them joyful because they knew that flesh and blood could not and cannot inherit the Kingdom of Almighty God, therefore they had no fear since knowing absent from this flesh body means present with our LORD. They had no fear of their flesh bodies demise and this is why they continued, no matter what their circumstances, to serve Father and do His will, being a part of His perfect plan as a humble, faithful servant. The faithful in Father God know, without a doubt, their rest will come when they have fulfilled Father’s will, and afterwards He will bring them home to Himself in glory, where they find peace and rest, even as our Lord Jesus Christ went back to all souls who had passed away before His coming, and taught them while He was yet in the tomb after His crucifixion. Revelation 6:9 – 11 says, “And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:” “And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?” “And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.”

Hebrews 11:39 says, “And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:” They had not “received not the promise” because “Christ Jesus was that Promise” and He had not yet been born from above. The “fulfillment of the promise was Christ Jesus sacrificing His Perfect Self upon the cross for the sins of mankind.” I Peter 3:18 - 20 teaches that Christ Jesus, while He was yet in the tomb after His crucifixion, went back to the souls of all those who had passed away before His coming and taught them the salvation message. All those who accepted Christ Jesus “received the promise” that they so faithfully believed in as they served Father in the flesh, “having obtained a good report” knowing Father is always fair and just, keeping His promises. As we now live, through our faith in “Christ Jesus who fulfilled the promise of Father God”, as those of the “Old”, there is still work to be done as servants of our LORD God Almighty. We now have the Holy Spirit with us until Christ Jesus returns, and it is time, if you are not being pleasing to Father, to get your act together. This Flesh or Second Earth Age is winding down and Father has foretold us all things within His Word, and it is beneficial for you to know them and to be ready to “stand” against the first/false christ, satan [Matthew - Chapter 24, Mark – Chapter 13, Luke - Chapters 17 & 21].

Hebrews 11:40 says, “God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.” Father God wanted these children to wait for that “better promise who is Christ Jesus”, and that promise was fulfilled because they endured “great tribulations and never wavered” because they had “faith in Almighty God.” There is a “great tribulation” that is soon to be upon this Generation of the Fig Tree we now live in, and if you have no faith in Father, you will not be able to stand against the adversary of this tribulation, who is satan. For those who “are faithful”, having the gospel armor in place which is the truth of Father’s Word, as those of the “Old Testament”, when Christ Jesus returns to this earth to claim His bride, all those who did “stand against” satan shall have “a good report”, which shall surely please Father God. Arm yourself to be prepared for that tribulation that shall surely come upon this earth, remembering Christ Jesus promised to always be with you as Matthew 28:18 – 20 says, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:” “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.” “Faith” is the foundation you will “stand” on until the end, even as you plant seeds of truth to whomever shall receive them, praying that they will return to Father who created all for His pleasure, and in the Name of Christ Jesus, seek that understanding only our LORD can give. “Faith” is the reality of life because without it, there is no foundation to be pleasing to Father God since you will not have our Rock to stand on, who is Christ Jesus, our Living Word sprinkled upon the doorposts of your heart and mind. Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” “Faith is pure love, discipline, obedience to and for YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty, through our Living Word who is Yeshua, Christ Jesus, who expects you to study so you can stand!”
