Revelations: The Great day of YHVH - Part 1

The speaker discusses the book of Revelation and its relevance to Christian and Messianic circles. They highlight that the book is a revelation specifically for born servants of Yeshua the Messiah. They draw a parallel between the concept of a bond-servant in the book of Exodus and the bond-servants of Yeshua. The speaker also mentions the potential persecution and alienation faced by those who openly express their love for Yahweh and Yeshua, using the example of John being banished to Patmos. They emphasize the importance of identifying with John and Yeshua and the significance of Yeshua as the first and the last. Hello, New Zealand and the world. Welcome to the program, Let Us Reason Together, a weekly radio broadcast to prepare us for the coming of the King and the restoration of the whole house of Israel. Our host today, Boaz Nuwa. Shalom and welcome to the program. Well, today the book of Revelations. Much is said about the book of Revelations today and particularly in Christian and Messianic circles, we are hearing about the book of Revelation almost constantly, claiming that most of it, if not all of it, is upon us. Well, we want to examine if this is true or not from the scriptures itself and therefore let us go to the book of Revelations chapter 1 and I am going to read chapter 1 to you and then we start going through it. Revelations 1 verse 1, the revelation of Yeshua the Messiah, which Elohim gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his messenger to his servant John, who testified to everything he saw, that is, the word of Elohim and the testimony of Yeshua the Messiah. Blessed is the one who reads the word of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take it to heart, what is written in it, because the time is near. To the seven assemblies in the province of Asia, grace and peace to you from him who is and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne, and from Yeshua the Messiah, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be kingdom of priests to serve Elohim and the Father, to him be glory and power forever and ever. Amen. Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who have pierced him, and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him, so shall it be. Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, says Yahweh Elohim, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and the kingdom of patience and endurance that are ours in Messiah, Yeshua, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of Elohim and the testimony of Yeshua. On the day of Yahweh I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet which said, Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven assemblies in Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. And I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me, and when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands. And among the lampstands was one like a son of man, dressed in a robe, reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest. His hair and his head were white like wool and white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like a bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. When I saw him I fell on his feet as though dead, and then he placed his right hand on me and said, Do not be afraid. I am the first and I am the last. I am the Living One. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and Hades. Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now, and what will take place later. The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this. The seven stars are the messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven lampstands are the seven assemblies. So far the reading of Revelations chapter 1. Well, what does this all mean? First of all, we see that this book is written to specific individuals. It is the revelation of Yahshua the Messiah that He, Yahshua, received from Elohim that was shown to His servants what soon has to take place. So it is a revelation that Yahshua received for His born servants. So this is a revelation specifically for born servants of Moshiach. We have seen in previous programs that the Apostles Shaul and Yaakov and so on were born servants of the Messiah. Now where do we get these born servants from? It has to have a scriptural foundation. Well, actually, you can find it in the book of Exodus, in Exodus chapter 21, from verse 1 to 6. And remember that the scripture teaches us that it will show us the spiritual in the natural, and it shows us the natural in the spiritual. So if we go to Exodus 21, verse 1, it reads, These are the Torah you are to set before them. If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year he shall go free, without paying anything. If he comes alone, he is to go free alone. But if he has a wife, when he came, she is to go with him. If his master gave him a wife, and she bare him sons and daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free. But if the servant declares, I love my master and my wife and my children and I do not want to go free, then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door of the doorpost and pierce his ear with an owl. Then he will be his bond-servant for life. So this is a natural picture, but of course in the natural we read the spiritual picture, that for six years, or for six thousand years, men are bond-servants to his master, but in the seventh year, or in the millennial, men shall be set free, and they are free to go in the year of release. But if his wife was given to him by Abba Yahweh, she stays by him, and then the bond-servant has to make a decision. Am I going to bind myself for life to my master freely, out of my own free will? The master is not pressuring him, the master is saying, brother, you can go. But if you love your wife, if you love Moshiach, because we are his bride, right? And you love Yahweh, and you want to serve him all of your life, then you can freely give yourself as a bond-servant for life to Yahweh. This is what this teaches us. And to these bond-servants, who have given themselves freely for life to Yahweh and Yeshua, this revelation is written. That's why many people have misunderstood, misinformed, and have given the wrong interpretation to these scriptures. So the revelation of Yeshua the Messiah, which he received from Elohim, are for his bond-servants that have freely bound themselves to him for life. We see that there is, of course, the concept of the bond-servant, and also it says that the book will be a blessing. This is the first book of scripture which says that if you read it, and if you act upon it, then you will receive a blessing. I also want to show you from the book of Galatians the concept of this bond-servant, which we briefly saw already before about the apostle Paul. It indeed says that the apostle Paul was a bond-servant of Moshiach, and in Galatians 1 verse 10 it says, I am not trying to win the approval of men, or of Elohim, or am I trying to please men. For I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Moshiach. You'll find the same concept in Philippians 2 verse 7. And as I said, in 1 Corinthians 15 verse 46, it tells us that the natural reveals the spiritual. And if we read our account in the book of Revelations chapter 1, we see that the apostle John was banished to an island called Patmos because of the word of Yahweh and the testimony of Yeshua. Well, today we might be very soon in the same position, because if you are openly going to expound your love for Yahweh and Yeshua, the world will alienate you as though they put you on an island. Because it is also very evident in New Zealand that everything to do with Yahweh of the Scriptures has to be banned from society. It was not long ago that we saw buses driving in our capital city, Wellington, with signboards on it, God does not exist, therefore don't worry, everything will be fine. It is clear that society is moving to a God is dead position again, and that was a position which we also had some decades ago. The Scripture also teaches us that there is nothing new under the sun, and therefore don't be surprised if, like I said in our last program, Christian Zionists and Biblical Nazarenes, the followers of Yeshua, will be alienated from society, if not arrested. And so was John banished to Patmos as he loved Yahweh and his word, and he testified to the testimony of Yeshua. He was, as it were, banned from society. Now if you identify with him, then verse 9 is for you. Verse 9 of chapter 1 says, I, Yohanan, or John, your brother. So he is speaking to his brothers, and John was an Israeli. Israelis, Biblical Israelis, are his brother and companions in the suffering in the kingdom and patience and endurance that are ours in Messiah, and he was on this isle of Patmos. Not only was John banished, but we also read in the Psalms that Yeshua was regarded as a worm. In Psalm 22, Psalm 22 verse 6, we read, Psalm 22 verse 6, But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people. All who see me mock me, and they hurl insults and shaking their heads. You see, if you belong to Moshiach, like John and like the Biblical Nazarenes, you will be banned to an island because you do not fit in society of today. John the Revelator had indeed a vision, and the vision that he had was a Pesach's vision. He saw Yeshua the Messiah, who was the first and the last, the Alpha and the Omega. He who was dead, but who rose again and lives forever. The only one that could have been, without any mistake, is Yeshua the Messiah. He rose after he died at Pesach at the festival of firstfruits. He indeed is the first and he is the last. We know from Genesis 1 verse 1 that he is the Aleph-Tav, and we know from the book of Revelations, Revelations chapter 1 verse 8, that he says that I am the Alpha and the Omega says Yahweh Elohim, who is he who was and he who came and who is to come. So there is no mistake who this messenger who revealed himself to John was. He was none other than Yeshua the Messiah. And then we read that grace, peace to you from him who is and was and who is to come and from the seven spirits who are before his throne. Who are these seven spirits? What do we know about these seven spirits? Well turn to me to a very well known part of scripture, the book of Isaiah, and in Isaiah chapter 11 we read the following. And should you come up from the stump of Jesse, from his roots a netzer is the Hebrew word, the strong word 5, 3, 4, 2, or a nezzerine will bear fruit, a branch. Right and it says the spirit of Yahweh will rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of understanding, the spirit of counsel, the spirit of power, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of Elohim. These are the seven spirits, the seven ruachim of Revelations chapter 1. And then of course we go to a famous verse of which books have been written in Christian theology and that is Revelations 1 verse 10. And John was in the spirit on the Lord's day, so therefore if you read Christian writings they say that John was in the spirit on Sunday, however this is of course impossible because John is seeing a vision of the final day of Yahweh. And this final day of Yahweh was certainly not Sunday nor was it Sabbath. And for us to be able to determine what this day was or what this final day of Yahweh is all about we must consult the scriptures. We must not confuse these days with either Sunday, this of course is the day of the sun god Ra and is totally unscriptural so it cannot refer to Sunday, and Sabbath is the day of rest of Yahweh in which we may share and is part of the order of life. Now we are talking about a totally different day and it is the final day of Yahweh. Now what we need to determine is this final day of Yahweh. Is this coming now on the end of the sixth day? And of course amillennialists will say yes. What are amillennialists again? Well they are the people who do not believe in a thousand years reign of Messiah here on earth. They believe that the Messiah will come shortly and then all those who are in the Messiah and all the goodies they go to heaven which is referred to as the spiritual Israel and all the baddies they will go eternally to hell. So if you hear people talking about oh all the events of the book of revelations are about to be unfolded and take place then I see that as they have an amillennial view. Because the great day of Yahweh as far as I can determine from scripture and let me hasten to add that I am not going to be dogmatic I want you to study this with me this great day of Yahweh can only come at the end of the seventh day or at the end of seven thousand years and not at the end of six thousand years. I also want to add immediately that of course Hebrew thinking is not linear but Hebrew thinking is circular everything comes in a circle that's why we know from the book of Ecclesiastes chapter 1 verse 9 that everything that has been will be again. In other words do we see in this circle of Yahweh's plan of history events that look like a final day of Yahweh event yes we've had those we only have to look at Noah's flood I think that the people living then thought well this must be the final day of Yahweh. In the day of Nimrod under Nimrod you know when we've had all the confusion at Babylon the wars and so on I'm sure people thought well you know this could be the final day of Yahweh. We take for example the time of Antiochus Epiphanes at the time of Judas Maccabee when Israel was occupied by Greece and this Epiphanes he offered up pigs on the altar and he dissed out some fierce persecution amongst Israel. We only have to refer back to the time of Adolf Hitler I'm sure people would have thought in those days well this must be the final day of Yahweh but it wasn't nor is it this time but that there will be great events going to take place is for sure and that some of them may look like they are or will be the final day of Yahweh is for sure but it certainly will not be because as we will see from scripture that the vision that John the Revelator has is the vision of the final day of Yahweh at the end of 7000 years and not 6000 years but don't make any mistake there is a lot that's going to happen which is right at our door right at our door but let's have a look at this great day of Yahweh what are the characteristics well let us look at Malachi in Italy they call him Malachi Malachi chapter 4 verse 1 Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace all the arrogant and the evildoers will be stubble and that day is coming will set him on fire says Yahweh Almighty not a root or a branch will be left to them but for you who serve my name the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in his wings so Malachi says that this great day of Yahweh will burn like a furnish okay that should give us some clues when we go to the Brit Galatia or the New Testament and when we see the words of Moshiach in the book of Matthew Matthew chapter 13 it is very well known and fits in here perfectly Matthew 13 from verse 24 the kingdom of heaven is like a man who sows good seed in his field but whilst everyone is asleep his enemy comes and sows weeds the weed and he went away and when the weed sprouted and formed head then the weeds also appeared the owner servants came to him and said sir didn't you sow good seed in the field where then did the weeds come from the enemy did this he replied the servants asked him do you want us to go and pull them up no he answered because whilst you are pulling the weeds you may root up the wheat with them let both grow together until the harvest now we need to determine is the total harvest going to be at the end of the sixth day hey millennialists would say yes because they deny that there is an age to come they deny for example the book of Ephesians where the Apostle Paul says in ages past and there were ages past in the book of Galatians he talks about the current evil age and then in the book of Ephesians again he talks about the ages to come not the age to come but the ages to come the seventh and the eighth day he's talking about so if the end is at the sixth day then the total harvest must be brought in now but if there is a seventh day and we are going to search the scriptures thoroughly to put this one to bed once and for all if we can so if there is a seventh day then the total harvest cannot be until the end of the seventh day because we will see from scripture that during the seventh day or the 7,000 year people are getting married having children and therefore at the end of the seventh day the total harvest from Adam to who then live can be gathered then he says at that time at which time at the time of the final harvest at that time I will tell the harvesters first collect the weeds and tie them into a bundle to be burned and then gather the wheat and bring that into my farm so throughout this study we have to determine are the amillennialists right and is there only 6,000 years or are the are the ones who believe in a millennium as foretold by the prophets and as confirmed in the book of revelations are they right because both cannot be right we either have 6,000 years and belong to the amillennial camp or we believe that Yeshua is going to reign for another thousand years which is called the millennial Sabbath or the seventh day or the 7,000 years we must again refer to Acts chapter 1 verse 6 remember the mockery that I read you in the last program by some of the theologians of the Christian palestinianism master are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel that's the question now amillennialists say there is no physical kingdom to be restored because in their replacement position they say no there is no further use for Israel we are now going to spiritualize this Israel and we are going to spiritualize this land the spiritual Israel is now the denominational church and the spiritual land is now heaven so spiritual Israel is going to the spiritual land which is in heaven is that true if that's true then we should all be amillennialists but if it is not true and I'm going to show you from the scriptures that it isn't true then of course those of you who are amillennialists have to reconsider their position we need to determine who is correct and thereby we can determine when the great day of Yahweh is. Is it now? Was it for example in the days of Antiochus Epiphanus the times of the Maccabees? No. Was it during world war 1 and 2 when millions upon millions of Yahweh's people were destroyed? No it wasn't either it looked like it. But again remember that in circular thinking which is Hebraic in the concept of Ecclesiastes 1 verse 9 that which has been persecution shall be again. So what are we looking therefore towards? What are we looking towards now? If it is not the great day of Yahweh then what's ahead? Well what's ahead is the restoration of the house of Jacob. We have seen from the other programs that Messiah is appointed by Yahweh to regather the lost sheep of the house of Israel and in relation with Ezekiel 37 to bring these two houses into one and then in relation to the parable of the book of Genesis where we have the story of Joseph although there are no stories in the Bible we should call it the account in Genesis 41 you can start reading if you like all the way through Genesis 45 we see the whole account of Joseph and Joseph is a picture of Moshiach who at that time was in Egypt and revealed himself to his brothers put them into Goshen protect them there from the famine and from there they were delivered to the promised land this is exactly what is going to happen again how do we know this? Well I showed you briefly from Isaiah 11 that this branch this netzeah was going to be raised up and if you read on in Isaiah 11 you'll see clearly the account of the second exodus I'll briefly read it to you from verse 12 Isaiah 11 from verse 11 let's say that's better from verse 11 in that day in what day in the days of the end of the age Yahweh will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the remnant that is left over of his people first time was time of Moses second time is what is about to happen right in front of us and he says I will reclaim the remnant that is of my people from Assyria number one from lower Egypt number two from upper Egypt number three from Cush number four Elam number five Babylonia number six Hamath number seven and from the isles of the sea from New Zealand and Australia and so on so I'm not only this time taking them out of Egypt no I'm taking them out from all over the place he will raise a banner which is Yeshua for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel so he's only going to gather the exiles of Israel therefore who are you in Moshiach Abraham seed and Israel then you'll be part of this gathering and he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth Ephraim or the house of Israel's jealousy will vanish and Judah's enemies will be cut off Ephraim will no longer be jealous of Judah nor will Judah be hostile towards Ephraim that's the day we're looking forward to and we're talking they will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia to the west together they will ponder the people of the east and they will lay hands on Edom and Moab you can also read that in Ezekiel 34 and the Ammonites will be subject to them Yahweh will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea with a scorning wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates river he will break it up into seven streams so that man can cross over it in sandals because there will be a highway for the remnant of his people that is left from Assyria as there was for Israel when they came up from Egypt do you see so that is the event what lies directly in front of us now there will also be great events because the nations will receive punishment for what they're doing to Yahweh's people we can read that very clearly in the prophets because they are about to divide the land and to give it to Esau but the land is promised to Jacob therefore Yahweh has to act because he is bound by covenant to give this land to the descendants of Jacob as he swore to Abraham Isaac and Jacob we're going to have a short break and then we'll come back with the further teaching oh yes holy torah you're the word made flesh the wall could see righteous character of your father the express image of his glory oh messiah lift me higher to your throne for holy cherub see let me enter to the center enter of your love and fill me everlasting oh yes shuba bright menorah giving light to the world to all to seek tell the story of your glory resurrection power proves your hour i preached oh messiah lift me higher to your throne for holy cherub see let me enter to the center of your love fill me ever oh yes you living through us you're the son of hope to all who sin giving mercy to what's not worthy spilled your blood so we could have a chance to live you oh messiah lift me higher to your throne for holy cherub see let me enter to the center of your love and fill me everlasting oh messiah lift me higher to your throne for holy cherub see let me enter to the center of your love and fill me everlasting me so we have to ask the question that if the day of Yahweh and the details thereof are only going to be revealed to his bond servants then of course we have to ask the question do we have or does the world have or does christendom have do they have do they have Yahweh's view of the great day of Yahweh or have they made their own interpretations for example if you are an organization that has changed the fundamental instructions of Abba Yahweh for example to observe the Sabbath and you have changed that into the day of the sun and you have done away with his appointed times his festivals and you have instituted pagan festivals and pagan rituals and you are now saying that Israel is not the chosen people and you are now saying that the promised land is not for them and there is no millennial kingdom and there is no Moshiach who is going to reign here on earth do you think that Yahweh is going to show them the things that the apostle john is talking about and give them the correct information i don't think so that's why over the book of revelation there is total confusion because it is a formulating by man and not a formulating by the bond servants of Yahweh so therefore we have to determine from the scriptures what indeed is this great day of Yahweh well let's go to a few scriptures and let's have a look and see what they say because we have to we have to without doubt prove these amillennialists wrong for us to be able to determine the correct time we are in and the correct events that lie ahead of us including the punishments for the nations let's look at Isaiah 13 from verse 6 Isaiah 13 verse 6 wail for the day of Yahweh is near it will come like destruction from the almighty because of this all hands will go limp every man's heart will melt terror will seize them terror will seize them and pain of anguish will grip them they will write like a woman in labor they will look aghast at each other their faces aflame see the day of Yahweh is coming a cruel day with wrath and fierce angers to make the land desolate and to destroy the sinners within so this day of Yahweh prescribed here in Isaiah says that it will be a really dark day a day where the land will be made desolate or the earth will be made desolate and where the sinners will be destroyed so if we take an amillennial view then the earth is going to be destroyed and so are going to be all the sinners if we take a seventh day position then that is to happen at the end of the millennial kingdom because during that millennial kingdom there will also be sinners which i will show you from the scriptures later on let's have a look and see what Amos the prophet Amos says in chapter 5 from verse 18 to 24 woe to you who long for the day of Yahweh why do you long for the day of Yahweh that day will be darkness and not light it will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear as though he entered his house and rested his hands on the wall only to have the snake bite him will not the day of Yahweh be darkness and of light pitch dark without a ray of brightness i hate i despise your religious feasts i cannot stand your assemblies even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings i will not accept them though you bring choice fellowship offerings i will have no regard for them you see the great day of Yahweh is in a time that Israel again is bringing religious offerings burn offerings and grain offerings that Yahweh at the end will not accept well his temple is not standing and therefore Israel is not bringing any offerings they might shortly go and bring some offerings at an apostate temple on the temple mount which they are going to build with apostate christianity and islam and what have we but that will not be the house of Yahweh here Amos says you know that Israel is offering again but Yahweh will not accept their offerings you see again at the end of the seventh day the temple will stand because is Israel not going back to the land now to go and rebuild the house of Yahweh which we see from scripture at the end of the seventh day will be destroyed then is the great day of the of Yahweh then we see the vision of Daniel in its totality taking place and taking shape let us also look at Amos chapter 9 and let us again repeat that the interpretation of the book of revelations is for Yahweh's bond servants and if we study it and if we go through it and if we study it together he says I'm going to give you a blessing so let's not be dogmatic let's be open-minded you listen I give you what I've got you think about it and at the end you'll get the email address and if you have any questions then please send them to me I've had some questions of the last the last programs and we will deal with those as we go through the teachings you see there's a warning to Israel in Amos chapter 9 from verse 8 surely the eyes of the sovereign Yahweh are on the sinful kingdom I will destroy it from the face of the earth yet I will not totally destroy the house of Jacob declares Yahweh for I will give them command and I will shake the house of Israel amongst the nations that's happening as we speak as grain is shaken in a sheaf and not a people will pebble will reach the ground but all the sinners among the people will die by the sword and all those who say disaster will not overtake us or will meet with us that is exactly what's going to happen you see you see how this fits in the front of at the end of the sixth day because straight away afterwards it says in that day in what day at the end of the age I will restore David's fallen tent here you can see again that there is this wheel within the wheel you know it's the circular thinking we have one part of scripture which clearly shows us it's the end of the seventh day because all sinners must die but here we have a similar situation but it's happening right in front of the restoration of David's fallen tent or David's fallen booth which is about to happen this is where we must clearly distinguish from the scriptures when's what and when will what happen instead of mixing them all up and coming to the wrong conclusions okay is it there for only six days or do we have an extra age to come or refer to as the seventh day or the 7000th year well we got to determine that from scripture because that's the only way we can get out of this not from christian theology not from main man man-made doctrines but purely from the word of Yahweh it's of course a lot of these people do not accept because it doesn't suit their theology well that's too bad because we take the word of Yahweh literally we don't follow Plato who was a greek an unbelieving greek and the church has taken over more from a nato-platonism than it has followed its hebraic roots or background we are going to stick with the hebraic roots and background and for the texts that i'm going to recite to you some decades ago i would be called a helliest and the pope and his friends would have called me a katter and would have burned me on the stake but so be it i am going to recite them in any case because it is the word of Yahweh so we are going to see if these prophecies have already happened and therefore we only have six days and if they have not happened when do they have to happen do we have to have a seventh day is there indeed a kingdom of Yeshua going to be here on this earth and we're going to go a little bit through scripture here and there we'll take some from the Torah some from the prophets and some from the writings first of all i want to start with genesis chapter 49 this is a very important chapter we went through genesis 48 where we saw that Ephraim had to become the fullness or bring forth the fullness of the gentiles and now Jacob is coming to his final hour and he's assembling his sons and he is telling his sons what is going to befall them in the latter days in the final days of this age and he says in 49 10 the scepter will not depart from Judah nor the ruler star from between his feet until he comes to whom it belongs and the obedience of the nations is his so Judah was the clan or the tribe that ruled the clan and they were allowed to rule the clan until Moshiach or Shiloh comes comes to whom all nations are going to be obedient do we or have we had a time yet where all the nations on this earth were obedient to Yeshua the Messiah who is this Shiloh well the answer to that is definitely no we have not had a time where Moshiach has ruled on this earth and all nations were obedient to him now let's have a look at genesis chapter 12 and let's have a look at the covenant that is made with Abraham and i'm going to read you from genesis chapter 12 verse 1 Yahweh said to Abraham leave your country your people and your father's house and go to a land that I will show you I will make you a great nation and I will bless you and I will make your name great and you will be a blessing and I will bless those who bless you and I will curse you and however curse sorry and whoever curses you I will curse and all the people on earth will be blessed through you Abraham all these people are either going to be all the people until the end of the sixth day or if there is a seventh day then all those people in these next thousand years also have to be blessed through the promises made to Abraham so Abraham left as Yahweh had told him and Lot went with him and Abraham was 75 years old when he set out from Haran he took his wife Sarah and his nephew Lot all the possessions that he had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Haran and they set out to the land of Canaan and they arrived there and Abraham traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem this is the same tree where Jacob told everybody to bury their false gods and at that time the Canaanites were in the land and Yahweh appeared to Abraham and said to your offspring I will give this land so he built an altar to Yahweh who had approached him and from there he went towards the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and I on the east and there he built an altar to Yahweh and called the name and called on the name of Yahweh and then Abraham set out and continued towards the Negev Abraham to all your seed I am going to give this land as all the seed of Abraham inherited this land no they went in there briefly because of their sin they got kicked out and they are now scattered all over the world so this has also not yet been fulfilled and remember that Abraham has been commanded to walk the length and the breadth of this land which so far he has not done if you are in Messiah then you are Abraham's seed and you are an heir to this promise and you have not yet received your inheritance which is the land of biblical Zion okay if then we move to Genesis chapter 22 and in Genesis chapter 22 we read from verse 18 let's go from verse 70 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars of the sky and as the sand of the seashore your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies and through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed because you have obeyed me Abraham followed Yahweh's Torah so here is this promise again repeated that all the descendants who are as numerous as the stars in the heavens and as the sand of the sea must take possession of the cities that are now possessed by the enemies and they will be blessed as per the promise the promise has this happened no it hasn't because you are seed of Abraham let's look at the book of Deuteronomy and I'm skipping much much evidence but of course we can't let this go on for years because we can spend literally years into this in Deuteronomy chapter 30 it says when all these blessings and all these curses which I have set before you come upon you and you take them to heart wherever Yahweh your Elohim has dispersed you dispersed you amongst the nations and that's where the 12 tribes of Israel are at the moment at the moment they are all under the nations because they are not in Israel as yet there might be a few from Judah and a few from the other tribes there but the seed that is as vast as the sand on the shores and the stars of heaven is in the dispersion and he says where Yahweh your Elohim dispersed you amongst the nations and when you and your children return to Yahweh your Elohim and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to the commandments that I've commanded you today then when only when you return to Yahweh with all your heart and with all your soul and obey him then Yahweh your Elohim will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from the nations where he has scattered you. Has this happened? Absolutely not you and I are living proof sitting here in New Zealand or Australia or wherever that this has not happened yet and therefore is still to happen it is very clear but what is the prerequisite this is vitally important the prerequisite of the gathering of the remnant of Yahweh's people back to the land is that you repent and that you return to the word of Yahweh and start following his laws and his decrees that is the prerequisite let's look at the book of Leviticus Leviticus number 26 Leviticus 26 from verse 40 but if you will confess their sins and their sins of the fathers their treacheries against me and their hostilities toward me which make me hostile toward them so that I send them into the land of their enemies then when their uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they and they pay for their sins I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham and I will remember the land for the land will be deserted by them and will enjoy its sabbaths whilst it lies desolate without them they will pay for their sins because they rejected my Torah and abhorred my degrees yet in spite of this when they are in the land of their enemies I will not reject them or abhor them so as to destroy them completely breaking my covenant with them I am Yahweh their Elohim but for their sake I will remember the covenant with their ancestors who I have brought out of Egypt in the sight of all the nations to be their Elohim and I am Yahweh have we seen this happening well it's starting to happen right under our eyes right under our eyes let us look again in the Psalms the Psalms of David and there we will go to Psalm 22 Psalm 22 from verse 27 all the ants of the earth will remember and turn to Yahweh and all the families of the nations will bow down before him for the dominion belongs to Yahweh and he rules over the nations have we seen this happening yet have we seen all the nations come to Yahweh yet and bow down before him he will rule all over the nations is that not what we read in Genesis 49 verse 10 Genesis 49 verse 10 confirmed in Psalm 22 from 27 to 31 all the rich of the earth will feast and worship verse 29 of Psalm 22 all who go down to the dust will kneel before him those who cannot keep themselves alive posterity will serve him future generations will will be told about Yahweh they will proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn for he has done it we have a people yet unborn they are to be born in the seventh day as we will see Psalm 48 Psalm 48 what does it say in verse 1 of Psalm 48 great is Yahweh and most worthy of praise in the city of our Elohim his holy mountain it is beautiful and it is loftiness the joy of the whole earth that the utmost height of Zephon is Mount Zion the city of the great king Elohim is in his citadels purel he has shown himself to be a fortress is Yahweh and Yeshua in his citadels not yet but the time is not far away the time is not far away verse 11 Mount Zion rejoices the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments walk about Zion go around her count her towers consider well her ramparts view her citadels that you may tell of them to the next generation for this Elohim is our Elohim for this Elohim is our Elohim forever and ever he will be our guide even to the end that's for sure Psalm 48 let's have a look at Psalm 102 Psalm 102 a very famous Psalm and we will read Psalm 102 from verse 13 you will arise and have compassion on Zion for it's time to show favor to her the appointed time has come and we are standing on the edge of disappointed time for the stones are dear to your servants they sure are the very dust moves to them to pity the nations will fear the name of Yahweh all the kings of the earth will revere your glory for Yahweh will rebuild Zion and then he will appear in his glory he will respond to the prayers of the destitute and he will not despise their plea let this be written for the last generation the Hebrew word is here acharon the strongest word 314 not future generation but the last generation of this age that Yahweh is going to rebuild Zion there are people not yet created may praise Yahweh verse 21 so the name of Yahweh will be declared in Zion and his praise in Yerushalayim when the people and the kingdoms assembly assemble to worship Yahweh so that happened yet have the kingdoms yet come together to worship him no that's going to happen as per the prophet Isaiah Isaiah chapter 2 and we receive and we read from Isaiah chapter 2 verse 2 Isaiah 2 verse 2 and we must finish with this and then we continue next week and it says in the last days the mountain of Yahweh's temple will be established it will be established as chief among the mountains it will be raised above the hills and all nations will stream to it you see many people will come and say come let us go to the mountain of Yahweh the house of the Elohim of Jacob he will teach us his ways so that we may walk in his path his Torah will go out from Zion and the word of Yahweh from Yerushalayim has this happened yet friends absolutely not therefore next week we'll come with more proof to show you that there is an age to come as prophesied by the prophets and confirmed by Yeshua's apostles until then until next week I bid you shalom you have been listening to let us reason together a weekly
