Revelations-The Assembly of Sardis-Part - 7

The radio program is discussing the book of Revelation and the importance of not listening to false testimony. The speaker references the Garden of Eden, Noah, and Sodom and Gomorrah as examples of the negative effects of false testimony. They then focus on the congregation of Sardis, discussing the location and history of the city. The speaker emphasizes the need for believers to be Torah observant and warns against being deceived by false teachings. The congregation of Sardis is criticized for appearing alive but actually being spiritually dead. The speaker encourages them to wake up, remember and obey the teachings they have received, and repent. They also mention the importance of overcoming and being worthy, and the promise of being dressed in white robes. The speaker concludes by discussing the significance of the seven Ruachim (spirits) of Elohim and the importance of being filled with the truth of Yahweh. 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. Okay so this morning we continue with our study on the book of Revelation and I don't know if you are starting to see a pattern yet, but the pattern that runs through these messages which are very important for this point in time where we are at the closing of the age, where Yeshua has been walking, as he says, I was in the middle of this assembly from day one till the last day from Adam to the end of the seventh day and the biggest warning that he gives us is that we not listen to false testimony. False testimony or false prophets or false apostles or Jezebels who call themselves prophetesses and we saw the effects of false testimony in the Garden of Eden when Satan falsified the information that he passed on to Adam and Eve. We saw how the society deteriorated and fell into sin including sexual immorality which goes right through the whole message of the book of Revelation in relation to the Kihilot or the assemblies and by the time of Noah, Yahweh of course by the flood punished the then existing world for their immorality. We saw the same in Sodom and Gomorrah and he says you have to be aware of the teachings of Balaam who put stumbling blocks in the front of the children of Israel and turned them to other gods and idolatry by eating meat offered to idols. And now we come to the congregation of Sardis and the congregation of Sardis of course also had their problems. The book of Revelations is as we have said before written specifically to the born servants of Yeshua. Those who have freely given themselves to Yeshua in his service, freely is the word to be emphasized. We have had already six parts and today we are going to discuss Sardis and the team are you dead or alive, are you defiled or are you clean. Both very important issues. Here we have the location of Sardis which was just a little bit south of Smyrna, south east and in relation to where John had his vision at the isle of Thetmos which is right there you can see it was just very close by where he had the vision in relation to these seven key lot or these seven assemblies. Here is today's Sardis and old Sardis a very modern and beautiful place. The Acropolis right in the back there and in Sardis we had a synagogue which had been there well before the book of Revelations was written. Vision is a problem in my stand here so I shall move myself. Thank you. Is the vision now unblocked? Everybody is clear? Terrific. Terrific. Ok so the significance about this synagogue was that normally they were built outside of the town but this one was right in the middle of town. It again proves that the book of Revelations was not written to any Christian denominational churches but was written to messianic believers in that particular area of Asia which was a Roman province at the time the book was written. We know that also from the words of Yeshua as we said in past when we came to past teachings whereby Yeshua says that certain of these congregations had kept his word. And his word does not happen to be the Heidelberg Catechism or the Canons of Dort or the dogmatics of the Roman Catholic Church but his word actually had to be the Torah. So if he says you have kept my word then these people were Torah observant. Because as we will see today Yeshua makes it very clear as to what we need to believe and where we need to stand. Sardis was part of Asia Minor and is part of Turkey today and it was a place where gold was found. Kings enriched themselves there and it was renowned for its wealth. Persia captured Sardis in the 6th century and made it an administrative center for the western part of their empire. And of course in New Testament times Sardis was part of the Roman province of Asia. Then of course Sardis had their own gods and the gods that they worshipped were Artemis and Artemis was the principal deity and it was said that Artemis and her brother Apollo were the children of Zeus. We went into these other gods before so we don't want to spend too much time on them because we want to spend time on the word of Yahweh and not who all these non-existing legend gods were, right? That's why I never studied, what was it, Hinduism and Buddhism and I was in the university in Palmerston North and the lecturer fellow said to me Bill you are really keen on all this. I was doing Judaism and Islam and Christianity. He said you should go into Buddhism and all these others and Hinduism he said they got thousands of gods. I said you know one is enough for me, thank you very much and I don't want to know, right? Anyway, I know your deeds he says to the people in Sardis and he says to the key, Lord in Sardis you must write these are the words of him who holds the seven Ruachim of Elohim or the seven spirits and the seven stars and he says I know your deeds and each opening statement is also always very relevant to the people that he is addressing. I hold the seven Ruachim, you will see why this is important. I know your deeds, you have a reputation of being alive but in fact you are dead. Wake up, strengthen what remains as it is about to die for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of Elohim. Remember therefore what you have received and heard, obey it and repent but if you do not wake up I will come like a thief and you will not know at the time that I will come to you. Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes, they will walk with me dressed in white for they are worthy. He who overcomes, he who overcomes will like them be dressed in white, I will not blot his name from the book of life but will acknowledge his name before my father and his messengers. He who has ears let him hear what the scripture says to the assemblies. The issues in Sardis are after we have addressed the seven spirits of Elohim you have a name that you are alive but in fact you are dead, you need to wake up to be alert and to keep watch, remember what you have received and heard, repent, are you found to be worthy, are you defiled or clean? He who overcomes shall be dressed in white robes and I shall by no means blot his or her name from the book of life but shall confess his name before my father and his messengers. Here Yeshua is addressing a congregation who says it is alive and we can identify with this because we used to be in congregations who also said that they were alive, you see they were filled with the spirit, they spoke in tongues, they prophesied, they did all sorts of things. I can remember a friend of ours saying you know so and so prophesied you El need to go to Wellington because the Lord spoke to me and you got to set up and go to Wellington because there is where your task is going to be and it all happened to be a big disaster you know because Yeshua says he says you need to be filled with the Ruachim of Yahweh and I have the fullness thereof. Seven is a number of fullness and in Isaiah 11 verse 2 which we dealt with before you see the seven characteristics of this Ruachim which Yeshua is talking about to this church who is dead as a doornail unless you have this Ruachim he says which I possess you are dead because the spirit of Yahweh according to the gospel of John Yeshua says that Ruachim will bring you into all truth. So what is then the truth? Well we know that the Torah is the truth. So unless a spirit brings you to the truth of Yahweh it has to be a false one. Because normally if it takes you to the truth you will be enlightened by the word of Yahweh you will receive the spirit of Yahweh the spirit of wisdom and understanding you will start to understand the word of Yahweh and we have been reading it for years and now all of a sudden you know on Sabbath you hear your wife or your husband say hey I have read this 20 times and now it makes sense. Because Yahweh is revealing it to you by his Ruach right? Instead of having to listen on Sunday morning to Joe standing up and he says I have a word and I received and you know the Lord sat on the end of my bed and he told me that you should go to the church twice on Sunday because that's the day of worship and if you only come once you are not committed and dedicated. That's what Jesus told me when he spoke to me last night but Yeshua would say you better keep the Sabbath because that's the sign and the seal between me and my people. So therefore you must Imam Jonah says test the Ruachim if they are of Yahweh and how do you do that? Does that spirit bring you back to the Torah to the teachings of Yahweh to uphold the Sabbath and so on or are you in a club which is contrary to the Ruachim? Therefore you do not have the understanding the spirit of counsel and might the spirit of knowledge and of the fear or the respect of Yahweh and he says I have all that and I hold all those seven stars the leadership or the direction of this congregation throughout the seven days in my hand. I am always there I am walking right in the midst of it. I was there with Adam wasn't he? He was walking with Adam in the cool of the evening teaching him Torah because otherwise how would the sons have known that they had to make offerings? How would they have known that Cain's offering was unacceptable unless somebody taught them? So he was there he was there with Noah which is a picture of Moshiach the time in which we find ourselves is identical because it has to happen in the days of Noah when there is total immorality and the whole place is disintegrating which it is and the ark is the place of Goshen where he is going to protect us as he protected Noah and his family because why? Noah was found righteous in the eyes of Yahweh. He says you have a name you have a name that you are so alive right? You sing prophesy speaking tongues all this thing you think you've got it right? Because the Pentecostal movement said to the say traditional Christian no no no you haven't got the spirit you see we have the spirit and I can remember for the first time going to a Pentecostal assembly I didn't know what was happening to me because I came according to them out of the dark and dusty boring reformed side of faith you see where we are very subdued and very Calvinistic and so on you see this of course is also true right? So perhaps one lot went this way and done but they had it you see but if they would have had the truth of it they would have found the Sabbath and Yahweh they would have. So by that we can see which Ruachim is of Yahweh or not and that's important. So you may think you are absolutely alive but as far as Yeshua is concerned you are dead because you do not have the spirit of Yahweh and therefore he says you must look to me because I have this sevenfold manifestation of the Ruach of Yahweh and it is you it is you who need to follow me not the other way around. I am your example I am your light and if you don't then as far as I'm concerned you are dead and outwardly it might all look very well and outwardly you might all appear to be very pious woe to you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites because you are like whitewashed tombs this outwardly indeed look well because we're living in the spirit and we're speaking in tongues and we're doing all these things right but it is all of the wrong spirit we're all falling over backwards and as the book of Isaiah says Ephraim is like a drunkard he's like a drunkard totally misled by the wrong Ruachim who says you must do this and do that don't worry you just start brabbling and it's all fine right and falling over because you're slain in the spirit yahoo spirit is it the spirit of Yahweh or is it the spirit of some other force right that's the point but he says at the end of the age it is like razor fine the deception razor fine and deception is razor fine but inside he says you are filled with dead man's bones and you are all unclean so you two outwardly indeed appearing righteous to men but inside you are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness that's a picture of my past so you two outwardly indeed appears to be righteous but inside are filled with the hypocrisy of lawlessness you see because I was taught that the only people who could pray were Calvinists so if you were not a Calvinist you couldn't pray that's very righteous isn't it very pious right and I had a knowledge of religion but I did not have the real love of Yahweh in my heart and now I may say by the grace of Yahweh that has changed so I can identify with this I don't know if you can but I can't certainly you are full of Torahlessness Anomia you see you are transgressing the Torah of Yahweh that's what they were and that's what we were when we were in these old systems but by his grace he has taken us out and he says you know you must come away from here and you must come to your senses and follow me because many not a few many shall say to me in that day master master have we not prophesied in your name yes in the Lord said on the end of my bed he told me about you you you need to go to Wellington right he told me prophesied in your name and cast out demons oh yes you can see them coming out of wheelchairs and all sorts of things right true or not I don't know I keep an open mind right because don't forget the devil is also powerful you've cast out demons in your name and done many mighty works in your name and then I shall declare to them I have never known you depart from me you are workers of this Anomia you are workers of Torahlessness you are preaching and teaching that the Torah has been rendered inoperative you don't need to do it anymore you now live under the grace of Jesus it's nowhere to be found in the scriptures but we know we went through this before when we did our identity that this was our friend from Antioch who started to teach this many shall say not a few many Torahlessness according to the scripture defiles and we need to be according to the words we read to the congregation in status we need to be worthy and if we are defiled for the earth has been defiled under the inhabitants because they have transgressed the Torah or Torah multiple the plural is Torah the laws they change the laws and they have broken the everlasting covenant that's why whilst we sin the world the earth and ourselves are defiled Israel is defiled I have known Ephraim and Israel has not been hidden from me for now Oh Ephraim you have whored and Israel is defiled their deeds do not allow their deeds do not allow them to return back to their Elohim unless you sit down by the pick drops of the world and you come to your senses and you start repenting your deeds will not allow you to return and remember what it says there in red they do not know Yahweh so when we were living in that system whoever we were talking about but God and the Lord and what have you he certainly was not Yahweh because he says here that you cannot know me when you are totally defiled and you walk after other gods and you're whoring with them I'm not saying it he's saying it here in his word Hosea 3 verse 3 and 4 and if we go to this scripture here in Leviticus 18 verse 24 then the nations obviously are also defiled but if you read Leviticus 18 verse 24 it says amongst other things do not defile yourself with all these and you've got to find out who the these are for by all these the nations are defiled which I am driving out from before me and one of these just to only name one is homosexuality which is now embraced in these systems right so what did he say if you embrace this then you are defiled and I will drive you out I will drive them out before you so we cannot say that oh well you know we just believe in Jesus and everything will be fine no everything won't be fine because you are defiled and you need to repent from your sin now is the Institute going to repent I doubt it but other people inside the Institute yes they are capable of repentance as we have by the grace of Yahweh but the nations and Israel are defiled because of their whoring after other gods eating meat offered by idols and walking after false religious systems because they have been listening to false apostles that's the whole line to the teaching to the of the seven of seven key laws but I'm going to drive them out because they are unclean unclean the Hebrew word is tamay especially it means to be unclean ceremonially or in a moral sense well if we only look around us what it goes on morally and how the morality in New Zealand has declined over the last 15-20 years to such an extent that you must ask yourself that Yahweh is so patient because I think we couldn't have brought up the patience if we were in charge of what goes on today everything is being justified everything is being taught as being normal children in school 12 years old 13 years old are told you just experiment with different sexual partners and everything is fine don't worry everything is you know and this is in our education system this is now embraced by the churches you know Yahweh says they are all tamay and if you are tamay then you are put outside the camp you may have all the best of intentions and you might talk all endlessly about about Yeshua and you may talk endlessly about Yahweh but if your lifestyle is defiled you will remain outside the camp command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper and everyone that has an issue now this in English says everyone who has a leper who has a skin disease but this was a skin disease this was laid upon the people by Yahweh himself and they must reside outside the camp for how long seven days and being inspected by the priests so do we have to go and and and muddle in all these affairs no when somebody's defiled and placed outside the camp it was the priests who were dealing with them whosoever is defiled by death both male and female shall be put out without the camp shall you put them that they defile not their camps you see rotten apples have to be outside because otherwise they are going to affect the whole basket there is no two ways about it and why do they have to be outside because in the midst where Yahweh dwells and he will not dwell with anything that is unclean this is a very important as we come to the end of this age very important before we are going to return to the land but we understand this cleansing that we understand that we are defiled everywhere we go everything we touch any bus we sit we could be defiled because the whole world and everything around us is defiled and Yahweh cannot dwell in the midst of them that are unclean numbers 5 verse 3 therefore it says in Luke 21 verse 36 watch then at all times and pray that you be counted worthy you see if you are unclean you cannot be worthy you cannot be worthy to escape all this that is about to take place and there's a lot going to take place I want to say this morning that there are some people who who are saying that I am saying that nothing is going to happen because we're just going to go into Goshen and then we're going to go back to no nothing is going to happen to you who are in Moshiach because he says they will not partake in my wrath but the world Egypt is going through place there is no two ways about it because that's the picture of the scriptures you can see Israel coming the brothers coming to Joseph at a time when the money was failing Egypt when there was famine on the land and all sorts of disasters and they are happening right around us but he says you can escape all this if you are found worthy and that you will be found worthy to stand in front of the son of Adam and Yeshua he has sheep and his sheep hear his voice and he knows them and they follow him but to follow him is important they must follow after him because if you are not worthy then you are not deserving you are not suitable for the kingdom of Yahweh and the only one who can get you there is Yeshua and we need to follow him and he who does not take up his stake and follow after me is not worthy so you need to follow after Yeshua what does that mean well he says you know I am your picture did he go to Sunday school no did he celebrate Easter with Easter bunnies no he did not what about Christmas no absolutely not did he keep the Sabbath yes why because it's the sign and seal between Yahweh and his people was he part of Yahweh absolutely that's why he kept the Sabbath did he keep the biblical festivals of Passover yes and so we can go on for at least an hour that's following after him in the footsteps of the Messiah right what are the footsteps Passover the festival of unleavened bread the festival of first fruits in which he reveals to all of us his plan of salvation so if you follow after him and walk in his footsteps then through his sanctifying blood you will be found worthy because you've been cleaned up from your uncleanness but if you he says wish to enter into life what do you do just believe in Jesus no he says guard the commandments he said to him which go to Sunday school no he says yeah and Yeshua said to him you shall not murder you shall not commit adultery you shall not steal you shall not bear full witness respect your father and your mother and love your neighbor as yourself what is he doing he's reciting the commandments of the Torah so if you want to have part of life then you must guard his commandments that's a condition not just believing in him not just just talking about him but you must guard with your life the Torah of Yahweh and then come and follow me so if if you are not going to guard the commandments you will have not have you you will not have the life and there's no need to follow him it's very simple he says that in a minute himself come and follow me if you are prepared to guard the commandments and then I will give you life Matthew 19 verse 18 to 21 John 10 verse 1 to 9 you see yeah Yeshua therefore said to them again truly truly I say to you I am the door of the sheep and he says I am the door and whosoever enters through me he shall be saved so Yeshua says here is a sheepfold right and I'm the door and he says anyone who comes not for the door but climbs over the walls are thieves and robbers so he's the door the door is the Torah because Yeshua is the Torah you must come to Yahweh via the door via the Torah and then you may go into the sheepfold and then what happens he says then I will lead them out does he boot them out like a herd no one by one do they go through the door because one by one needs to be taught into the lifestyle of Yahweh so that they can then end up at the pastures green but anybody who does not come via the door or via the Torah are thieves and robbers because we know that from Deuteronomy chapter 13 where it says that if anybody wants to take you away from Yahweh they are false teachers and false prophets don't listen to them and the thieves and the robbers have climbed over the wall and they have absolutely scattered the sheep to such a degree that they don't know Arthur from Martha and they are today in the same position they pick a little bit from here oh here we've got this planet coming in and it's going to destroy the whole earth right you know what's going to happen September 29th and 30th right isn't it October 1st today or 2nd right nothing happened right Messianic people phone me up oh this is terrible we've studied all this and this is going to bop bop bop bop and I said look forget it right that's not what the scripture tells me scripture doesn't tell me that he's going to the scripture tells me that he is going to bring to Egypt yeah devastation by natural disasters by floods by pestilences and diseases and there's going to be a famine but he says I'm going to take my people out from this environment and I'm going to protect them in Goshen right where nothing will be followed not even a dog is going to get sick there right because that's the picture in in the whole in the whole of the book of Exodus so they pick here and they pick there and they pick and everybody's scared everybody's scared that's why I'm sending out these little things saying don't fear you're not this is what the scripture says you're not subject to the wrath of Yahweh only the world is right don't worry but don't go and pick here just stay into the word and you will be comforted I am the door whoever enters through me so that's the condition only the entrance to the past is green is through the door of the Torah of Yeshua who is the Torah made flesh and then he says you will find past is green to be worthy we have to do the works of our father and Yeshua says if I do not do the works of my father then you don't need to believe in me he's very simple right if I do not do the works of my father just don't believe in me no problem so the works of the father must then be defined and he says Yeshua what's happening here what's happening here am I ahead of myself or what Yeshua therefore said to them when you shall have lifted up the son of man then shall he know that I am he and that I do nothing of myself so Yeshua doesn't have a personal agenda he doesn't make up a personal religious system he doesn't make up any of his own dogmatics this is the way you do it or that's what you have to do he says no I only teach what the father has taught me but as the father has taught me these things I have I speak and if you want to know what the father has taught him then you have to only read the Torah the prophets and the writings and he doesn't talk about anything else and he says and he says I have not come to destroy the Torah the prophets and the writings but I have only come to bring them to their fullness because that is the word of my father which he has taught me so if I teach anything else right don't believe in me right so we need to believe in a Torah observant Moshiach and then the only thing you need to do is you need up you line up the Jesus of the church right where the church leader says that he says you don't need to keep the Torah anymore and he says you can eat as much pig as you like and he says you can have Christmas and Easter right and you line it up against the Yeshua of the scriptures right who only comes and teaches the words of Yahweh which is found in the scriptures and he says no no nothing's changed because he says I am the same yesterday today and forever and then Sue said to me last week but what does it say right after that don't listen to any funny teachings right about elements coming and it's going to destroy everything and we all gonna die no we not Yahweh says my children are not appointed to the wrath that's going to come on this earth and when we come to revelations chapter 4 and 5 we will see exactly what's going to happen and the picture of the end of the sixth day and the end of the seventh day in relation to the salvation of Yahweh's people is almost identical God therefore the Torah of Yahweh you shall guard this word and this Torah for you and your sons when until Jesus comes and says it's no longer necessary that's not what it says it says here throughout the ages forever to you and your children forever and you shall guard his Torah and his commandments that I commanded you today so that you will live you and your children after you and that you prolong your days on the soil or the earth and the land which Yahweh your Elohim is giving you for all time therefore we need to wake up he says to these people in Sardis listen friends you have all this Pentecostalism going on and you have all this charismatic thing going on it's all from the wrong spirit right you need of the seven Ruachim of Yahweh which I represent right and you need to look to me as your example and you need to follow me if you don't do that you are not worthy and what does he stand for he stands for only the teachings of Yahweh he doesn't do anything that is outside the teachings of Yahweh wake up now I can't read now I can't read what verb it is so we need to go to Romans chapter 13 Romans chapter 13 from verse 11 wake up he says because it's time our salvation is now near Romans chapter 13 the book of Romans the apostle Paul he knew all about all this and in Romans chapter 13 from verse 11 he says and do this knowing the time that is already the hour for us to wake up from our sleep for now our deliverance is nearer than when we did believe the night is far advanced the day has come near so let us put off the works of darkness and let us put on the armor of light now how many sermons have you heard about this one right so he says he says now it's time to wake up because our salvation is very near and Yahweh says you must look up look up into the skies where I've written my whole plan of salvation and I even send you a few markers to show you that we are right on target I think we might want to take that piece of paper off because it would be much more clearer with the paper gone than than than not so he says you must put on the armor of light what does that mean well we know from the scripture that the Torah is light could you please close those curtains there thanks because normally we don't have this problem so it must be the light that's coming in he says that the Torah is light so he says if we must put on the armor of light then we must put on the Torah for the commandment is a lamp and the Torah is light Proverbs 6 verse 23 and then we read oh send out thy light and thy truth and let them lead me let them what is them the Torah or the light and the truth let the light and the truth bring me unto thy holy hill so what's going to bring us to the holy hill to the house of Yahweh only the light and the truth so we need to divide we need to find out what the light and the truth is well the light is the Torah which is the lamp right and the Torah is the truth of Yahweh instruct them into the truth the spirit will lead you into all the truth so the Torah of Yahweh the way of life that we are to uphold and live by will ultimately bring us in Yeshua to his holy hill Psalm 43 verse 3 let them what the light and the truth only then can bring us to his holy hill oh house of Israel come and let us walk in the light of Yahweh that's it in Isaiah 2 verse 5 remember Isaiah 2 verse 2 that the house of Yahweh will be built on the highest mountain and all out of the nations will flock to it because Yahweh is going to instruct them into what into his Torah because the Torah shall go out from Zion and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem and then Israel walks in the light is the light amongst us Yeshua therefore said to me yet a little while the light is among you because he is the Torah made flesh he is the light you you you want to know what the light is you just imitate me and do what I do and you will be in perfect harmony walk whilst you have the light whilst you have the Torah and the darkness overtake you not we know what darkness is because we've been there and we know what light is you know this morning I got an email from a lady in South Africa in Cape Town Beryl so Beryl if you're listening yes I got your email and I will reply as soon as I can and Beryl was saying that by accident she found our website and they have a little group of six people who left the church and they're going through all these teachings and she said it is so exciting because they are seeing the light they're seeing the light of Yahweh Yahweh took them out of the darkness where we have also been and he's now showing them his light and his truth and the spirit the Ruach of Yahweh will take you and your five friends into all the truth of Yahweh whilst walk whilst you have the light because the world is busy with trying to take the light away you are not allowed to pray in public you know all the big the big publishing houses who publish and print the bible are now in Arab hands I don't know if you know that they are and they are changing these things all the time right because Yeshua can no longer be Yahweh he must be the servant so that he's acceptable in Islam see that's why our bibles are being changed and if you have seen Walter Wiesel's teaching on the battles for the bible then you know what powers of evil are behind all this so they're trying to take the light away there is no two ways about it so therefore whilst you still have it you're walking in it and you drink it in and you memorise it as best as you can because he says you are children of the light for you were once in darkness absolutely right but are now in the light in the Messiah so therefore we must walk as children of the light we need to be examples for our master this has always scared me because you see on the end of the day we need to be those lights that people see us and say well we want to follow Yahweh well then you only have to go and look at your own life and you say well it's no wonder nobody ever followed me because that light was well dark you know because I was thinking on the way here I was thinking there was an event that happened many years ago and with a number of people we said well what we'll do is if we want this event to happen then the only thing we need to do is we pray to God right and if we pray if you pray on this time you in this time that all the time there is intercession before he's gonna do it and I thought how naive was I mean look at you walk you walk was totally contrary to what he had turned his face from us of course what we wanted never happens right but later on in your life he will show you why right the question is are you clean because if we're not clean why would he listen to us if we don't repent why should he listen to us and he doesn't he says he says if you walk in your cleanness and your filthiness and you don't have a mind that wants to depend he says you're not even allowed to know me didn't we see that he said israel was defiled he says they walked and walked after other gods and their deeds could not bring them back to me and and therefore they didn't know me well and if you pray to me under those circumstances it's an abomination so therefore I'll be clean but if it says see that but if we walk in the light in other words if you walk in the Torah or the lifestyle of Yahweh as he is in that lifestyle and is in that light we have fellowship one with another so if you don't walk in the Torah but I do we can't have fellowship because it is like like like the difference between light and darkness as we will see and the blood of Yeshua the Messiah his son cleanses us from all our sin when does it cleanse us all from all our sin if we walk in the light so if you just believe in Jesus is that what it's all about no you need to walk in the light because if you walk in the light then when when you walk in the light then he says I will cleanse you from all your sins but if you don't walk in the light but walk in darkness and we've walked in darkness knowingly or unknowingly but by his grace he has brought us thus far if you walk in the light then he will cleanse you from your sin so the decision you have to make am I going to repent from the lifestyle that I've led and are coming to my senses that what I've been doing is all wrong and therefore I am now going to concentrate on the light that's the decision one John chapter 1 verse 7 how can we be clean well first of all we must cleanse our mind you see that's moral clean clean and uncleanness for example I always use this picture I'm working in the bank I want to buy a Mercedes 500 but I don't have the money so I think if I take it from the bank see that's unclean but I haven't sinned yet my mind is unclean my thoughts are unclean I haven't sinned yet you know so there has to be a change of mindset so if I then go out and steal the money then I physically sinned but now I am morally in my mind yeah unclean and that needs to change he is to cleanse himself with the water of the third on the third and on the seventh day to be clean but if he does not cleanse his mindset his thoughts himself on the third and the seventh day he is not clean now the third and the seventh day is very very significant we'll come to that in a minute so we can be mentally unclean because of our moral thoughts and our ethics right and then of course we can also be physically unclean because we've touched a dead body you know a cow dies on the side of the road and you're going to go and bury it and you touch it you are unclean and the uncleanness teaches us that anything which is unclean cannot live in front of Yahweh and therefore we have to study this to make sure that we are fully afraid with the third and the seventh day but the man who is unclean and does not cleanse himself that being shall be cut off from on the assembly so if we want to be in the assembly of Yahweh we need to consciously think about this cleansing are the things in my life yes that are unclean yes then you got to change it why because otherwise if you do not you will be cut off then people say but hang on how can I do this I mean how do I know that I am unclean well you know your own thoughts and you know your own mind physically okay I can go on a bus and I can go in a seat where a lady said before and she could have been menstruating that means I'm unclean Moses says we are now all here today and we do what we think is good in our own eyes but later on he says when you get to the land you can't do all this anymore and there are certain things which we just don't know and there are certain things we we just cannot do whilst we are living here in Egypt because the whole place everything we touch is unclean so we can only do the best we can what what what would Yahweh rather have that we examine our own mind and our thoughts and our actions and clean those up or to worry about oh that lady sat in that seat and I can't I think he would start with our mind first right and when we get to the land then all this will be sorted out so don't beat yourself up over all this stuff just do the best that you can and clean up your act so that you are clean and that you will not be cut off from the assembly of Yahweh and a clean man here we are a clean man shall take hyssop and dip it in the water and he shall sprinkle it is there anybody clean around here sorry I'm not you you no we need a clean man and there's only one clean man numbers 19 and that is Yeshua and he says that on the third and the seventh day according to numbers 19 verse 19 there has to be cleansing and the clean one shall sprinkle the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day and then they are allowed to come in and I shall take you from among the nations from among the gentiles now he's talking to us right he's going to take us from among the gentiles and I shall gather you out of all lands not out of some lands out of all the lands that includes New Zealand right and I shall bring you into your own land and here it comes and I shall sprinkle so do we need to minister to come and sprinkle us and all this thing and make a big who out of it no he says I will do it I will do it I will sprinkle clean water on you and you shall be clean from all your filthiness and from all your idols I will cleanse you and I nobody else shall give you a new heart and I will put a new Ruach within you and I shall take the heart of stone out of your flesh and I shall give you a heart of flesh and I put my Ruach my spirit within you and I shall cause you to walk in my Torah and guard my right rulings and you shall do them you see because that's what it's all about that's what it's been all about all along he is going to sprinkle us with clean water and he is going to do all this so therefore don't follow any man who says come we got to go to Israel now and you're going to give me money because I want to buy a farm and then we all gonna live there we're gonna all no no because the return to the land is via the protection of Yahweh in the wilderness he says and there I will meet you face to face and there I will pass you under my rod and there I will purge out all the rebels don't worry all the rebels and he will let you know when to clean and we're going to come to that in a second and then the next chapter says son of man can all these bones live why does he say that because all our bones all of us we are as dead as doornails because we are all totally unclean because we live in a total unclean environment some of us haven't even never even heard of well we've heard about clean and unclean but you know what does it really mean that's only over the last number of years that Yahweh is starting to pull us along that way and he said to me son of man these bones are the house of Israel are you part of the house of Israel yes right that's us right he says can these bones live yes why I will put my spirit in you and you shall live and I shall settle you in your own land do you feel that Yahweh has given you his Ruachim then he has taken certain actions in his life he says I've never been so peaceful in all my life that shows me that Yahweh is leading him by the Ruach into the truth and giving him Shalom yeah very simple do you think I am very I feel I'm very fortunate I don't worry about anything I just try to be the best that I can and sometimes ask my wife I fail terribly you know she's my witness right I haven't always been the best right but I've come a long way because Yahweh is working on us he's put he said I'm going to put my spirit in you and you shall live and you shall settle in your own land and you shall know that I am Yahweh that I have spoken and I will do it he says he's going to do it when that's the question that's how we want to know when well we'll see in a minute the life we need to live we need the spirit of Yahweh that's why I always have to laugh when a minister goes and buries somebody and he says we are going to pray for the soul of the dearly departed because in Hebrew we have the Ruach and the Memphis and the Ruach is the spirit of Yahweh and we know that from the account of Adam that he was formed and he was lying there like a soul and then he says I he put his Ruach into this into this body and it came alive so when that Ruach is taken out he's a dead soul yeah and the soul is your eyesight your senses you're you're thinking you're you're all this right and that's made alive by the Ruach of Yahweh and John says in John chapter 1 all of us all mankind has this Ruach so nobody can be without excuse because otherwise they can't live so everybody has the Ruach of Yahweh otherwise they can't live and to live we need this Ruach of Yahweh how do we know that we are alive will we be filled with his spirit absolutely look at Shavuot here we go Shavuot Exodus chapter 19 what happened Israel was led out of Egypt and they came to Mount Sinai and there the Torah what's the Torah it's life right the Torah Moses says is your life you must guard it because it is your life who is the Torah made flesh Yeshua he's our life right without him sorry we ain't gonna make it right because we need the man to cleanse us we are those dead bones of Ezekiel 37 touched all be as unclean as unclean can be right and he gave us the tablets of stone externally so that we could look it up inside here it says you shall not do this you shall not do that you shall not do this and you shall not do so Shavuot number one Exodus chapter 19 the Torah given to us on table of stones in an external way then we have Shavuot at Acts chapter 2 and we know from Acts chapter 2 that the congregation there who were heralding the gospel of Yahweh were filled with the Ruach we've talked about this before because Yahweh knew that the temple was going to be destroyed and how do we go on without a house of Yahweh he says I'm going to build you into a spiritual house therefore you need the Ruach of Yahweh to be able to do that and you will be a movable tabernacle and you are going to be priests in their house and you must send up spiritual sacrifices in your prayers Shavuot number three well I'm not going to tell you this as that's exactly what's going to happen this is my personal view which I've gleaned from the scriptures Joseph says two years of famine have passed he says there are five years still to come and we can see if you only looked at the tv last night you see that somewhere in Asia all the rice is gone right floods are unbelievable unbelievable in openly in the news media they're now starting to write that food is getting short not only that it's also getting very expensive because they're screwing up all the prices and people are suffering all over the place so he says two years of this drought has passed five years are still to go so they are in the third year of the famine for me the third year of the famine is next year when is next year from Aviv one next year we are moving into the third year so Aviv one pass over this year yeah until Shavuot I would be very very attentive to Yahweh because I think on this Shavuot in the third year of the famine something could well happen I'm not saying it's going I'm not a prophet never never claimed to be this is what I've gleaned out of the scriptures out of what's happening in the world you know this whole financial thing is going to crash there's no two ways about it and it's it is it is just the leadership lying to the people they have never lied to us as much as that I now hear two credit ratings agencies have downgraded us but there is nothing to worry about because our economy is sound it's this is that but if our economy is so sound and everything is so good why do these people downgrade us you know and they just sit there openly lying to us scripture says they will see the leadership will sit around the table lying it's exactly what they do you see and then at that Shavuot Yahweh is going to write the Torah or his lifestyle on our heart and he places it internally right and we can see by the grace of Yahweh that in our own lives he has already started to do that otherwise we would never be here we wouldn't we wouldn't have been for this is the covenant this is the covenant that I've made with him I shall make with the house of Israel after those days declares Yahweh I shall put my Torah in their inward parts and I will write on their hearts and I shall be their Elohim and they shall be my people Jeremiah 31 it was external at Mount Sinai it's going to be internal why because this is the agreement that Yahweh has made right because he's going to cleanse us there was a change of spirit change the heart right he's going to write because if he didn't write the Torah on there yeah well he is going to perfect us so that then we will be clean to be able to go into the land because anybody who is unclean must stay outside the gates do you think all those who are uncircumcised are going to walk in Jerusalem some people say oh yeah but you know Christians don't we don't need to be circumcised of course you don't but you ain't going to go into the land normally because he says Jerusalem he says no uncircumcised person will walk through you any longer are you going to take are you going to partake of the Passover in the land being uncircumcised I think the teacher the scripture teaches that uncircumcised people are not allowed to partake even the strangers that live amongst you and their children must be circumcised before they partake Yahweh is the same yesterday today and forever it is us who have changed all the rules he can come and keep our Sunday and we won't keep his Sabbath he can come and do what we want right don't the rabbis teach that the majority has the voice and you must go behind the majority so if there is 50 rabbis and 40 say we go left then even Yahweh has to follow them because he must also yes that's what they say it's unbelievable let us have a look at Deuteronomy chapter 16 this is important Deuteronomy chapter 16 talks about a righteousness that we have to adopt as a condition to go back to the land of Yahweh to the Zion that he is going to create Deuteronomy chapter 16 from verse 18 and here Moses is taught or told by Yahweh the following appoint judges and officers within all your gates which Yahweh your Elohim is giving you according to your tribes and they shall judge the people with righteous and right rulings do not distort right ruling in other words do not distort what is right according to the word of Yahweh we have done nothing else than distorting the word of Yahweh do not show partiality nor take a bribe for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous if you look around the world there is nothing else but bribery nobody talks about it nobody says why do we have all these problems in Africa nobody says oh because you know the western world gathers up all their nuclear waste and garbage then they bribe the government of Nigeria and they put all their government the waste because they give that man 50 million dollars right he deprives his people now look at this Libyan thing look at Gaddafi how he was living you know for the world he was living in a tent right but now we saw he living in utter luxury and the people got nothing all bribery corruption for power for the elite that's what it's about that's what's happening totally contrary to the Torah follow righteousness righteousness alone why so that you live and inherit the land with Yahweh your Elohim is giving you righteousness do you remember the account because there are no stories in the bible remember the account of Yeshua meeting up with Abraham the angel the messenger of Yahweh mess up with Abraham he says they're going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah oh Abraham thinks that's that's terrible he says what about if there is 50 righteous and you know it was like a Dutch auction right 40 righteous 30 righteous 20 he says I will not destroy for the sake of the 20 he says what about 10 that's why a minion is 10 people he says if there are 10 righteous in Sodom and Gomorrah then I will not destroy it so the world continues to exist because of the righteous now who are they sorry I could mention a few names but I don't know Yahweh knows and for me there are still more than 10 righteous in this world because otherwise Yahweh would have destroyed it because he set the example by Sodom and Gomorrah if there is no more than 10 righteous the place has got to go and now he says if you want to return to the land righteousness and righteousness alone we need to follow man I tell you so that you will live and inherit the land which Yahweh your Elohim is giving you and then he says do not plant for yourself any tree as in Astera near the slaughter place of Yahweh what does that mean you got to follow the tree of life don't go and plant your own trees you know with your own religions and your own rules and your own regulations no don't plant any other rules and regulations don't try to do away with the tree of life the Torah of Yahweh and put your own tree next to his altar and say like Rehoboam saying no no we're not going to celebrate the the the the feast of tabernacles in the seventh month we'll do it in the eighth suits us better because we don't want to go down all the way to Yerushalayim because just in case you know that they kick me out I want to protect my kingdom so I will set one up at dawn and all these places and we can go all there a month later it's not a problem that's putting another tree next to Yahweh's altar how many trees have we passed in the past put now plenty let us cut them all down right and there is one tree and that tree is the Torah of Yahweh in Yeshua who made that Torah flesh who became flesh that's the one we follow and we don't follow any of the other people who are saying oh well you know I have had a vision from Yahweh and you should follow me and we go back to the land of Israel and we go now and we build a farm and then we live there and we do all these things please give me your money don't do it because Yahweh says I am coming coming to I'm coming for you because it is his task according to Isaiah for Jeremiah 49 it is his task that he has to bring back and reunite the two houses of Israel it's not a man's task men cannot do it because they fight if we had perhaps say 30 people in this group I bet you we don't time we'll be fighting over either the Sabbath or circumcision or you name it we fight because we can't do it we need strong men to come and sort us out so therefore let us not argue over these things are we still in religion no let's leave it behind right and on the end of the day if some people say well you know it's this or is that I say well okay well you have to live your convictions you have to live your convictions before Yahweh and he will know if your heart is sincere or not I can't judge it you know and on the end of the day he's going to bring us to the mountain in Isaiah 2 verse 2 and there he's going to teach us Torah which means that he has to teach me too so I haven't got all the answers out I haven't got all the answers either you know absolutely not otherwise he wouldn't have to teach us anymore so we all have some things wrong because otherwise we didn't need to be clean or cleansed so he's going to write it on our hearts for me the period between Aviv 1 next year and Shavuot in the counting of the Oba is very important very very important and in this regard I have to mention for example I got an email a week or so ago from a person who said right I'm now going to keep the Sabbath by the moon okay right the problem is how do we count seven Sabbaths in relation to running our Sabbath by the moon and then have Shavuot on the 50th day it's not possible oh that's not a problem now you just count seven Sabbaths plus 50 days yeah but then you're miles out and we have some people who've tried this in the past some years ago who have given it away because it just didn't work when we are coming to this particular point at the end of the age and we have learned about the counting of the Oba well in the beginning we are well we just count seven Sabbaths one two seven and the next day is Shavuot but then we really know the significance why Yahweh says you must count he says he says he doesn't say Bill counts and you ring him up and ask him when is Shavuot no you must count you must work out your salvation in fear and trembling and he wants to teach you what the counting is all about right and it has to do with his cleansing and it has to do with his plan of salvation Deuteronomy he says you must follow righteousness after the tree of Yahweh don't plant your own trees because they will never make you righteous and you're going to fail you're going to stay outside the gate now in relation to the Sabbath there is a rule and of course we have various rules in the Torah and we have various accounts in the Torah but there are different levels of interpretation which in of course in Hebrew as you know is the Pashat the Ramesh and the Das and the Soth so on the Pashat level which is the story it says you must not make fire on the Sabbath okay that's cool we understand all that right that's the Pashat so you don't go out and get heaps of firewood and make a big fire and do all these things but then later on in the scriptures and I'll quote you the scripture in a minute it says you must not make fires because if you make fires then you must walk in them in other words you must not make fires over issues of the tzitzit should it be three meters long or 16 knots or greater you must not make in other words if you only do these things to create argument and discontent and what have you right because you want everybody to follow after you because that's the way you think right then you must walk later on in your own fires their own fires that you have set up and particularly in relation to the Sabbath is very important because the Sabbath is the sign and the seal between Yahweh and his people right and therefore don't make fire around the Sabbath right don't do it Anomia transgressions of the law unrighteousness the definition of righteousness therefore is keeping the Torah of Yahweh and not our own tree so if you have still a little tree next to the altar of Yahweh you have to cut it down and there is only ever allowed one tree and that's the tree of life that was in the garden with Adam and Eve the Torah of Yahweh and we have to conduct ourselves as living stones of this movable misconduct drawing near to Abba Yahweh a living stone rejected indeed by man but chosen of Elohim living stone to be built up into a spiritual house and there in that spiritual house we are to be a set-apart priesthood walking after the righteousness of Yahweh to offer up to offer up spiritual sacrifices in our prayers which are acceptable to Yahweh to Messiah Yeshua that's what we need to be that's what we need to attain to that's what we have been practicing for and he says if you do not repent he says I will come at a time that you will not expect me you see and in the priesthood as they were serving the high priest would come at a particular point when you did not know he was going to come and if you were found sleeping you're in trouble 1 Peter 2 verse 5 because he says you are the temple of Elohim do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers for what partnership has righteousness which he says you must now exercise to be able to go into the land what partnership has righteousness and Torahlessness and what fellowship has light with darkness for you are a dwelling place of the living Elohim therefore why because you are a dwelling place of the living Elohim come out from among them you see if I say to certain people are still in the church you need to come out they don't want to know somebody said to me nobody is listening we have messianic teachers who for years have been going to the church teaching please love the Jews is that what Yahweh says of course we have to love the Jews he's our brother right but is that the only message we have for the people in the church please love the Jews because if that person were to say tonight I am here with you in the Methodist church for example in Palmerston North and I'm here to tell you that the Methodist church is part of the world council of churches right we start a bunch of atheists in bed with the Pope and all this that and the other and you need to get out of here how many invitations do you think I would get to the Methodist church in Palmerston North right but they collect the money after telling you must love the Jews and then they're off again but I don't tell them the truth they tickle them what they want to hear and then they're off again we were in Kuala Lumpur and amongst these poor people they were throwing us gold dust and all this thing I tell you the deception was unbelievable unbelievable and big names which we all know in this room were there doing this thing therefore come out from among them and be separate says Yahweh and do not touch what is unclean why because if you are cleansed by your shuwa and you go back and touch which is unclean you have to remain outside the gates for seven days you are subject to the priest he comes and determines your position that's not my job or your job we we don't judge about any individual as to his eternal position we are only to point out their faults so if I do something wrong you have every right to come to me and say excuse me that's not right blah blah blah I might not like it I might argue with you but you have every right to do that but we are not allowed to say excuse me brother you are not going to make it that's not our job that's Yahweh's job but your conduct has to change because if your conduct doesn't change the scripture says you know you will remain outside the gate and you need to come out from anything which is unclean so if you are part of an institution which for example legalizes same-sex marriages which are blessing homosexual marriages and all that you got to come out of there because as I said in the book of Leviticus 18 it says don't do all this what the world does right because it is unclean and if you do that and partake you will remain outside do you think that you will ascend into heaven and get your spiritual nightly if you have been in this in this in this place of uncleanness no but people think they do because they only have to believe in Jesus that's all sorry you must come out from them light does not mix with darkness it's either righteousness or totalness you have to choose why because you are the dwelling place of Yahweh and Yahweh will not live with anything that is unclean therefore you must come out of all this uncleanness this is in the new testament by the way to Corinthians chapter 6 and everything that we have expounded from the message to the seven key lot you can trace right back to the Torah having then the promises we love it let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and spirit and then there's a very important word perfecting set apartness in the fear of Elohim so we're going through a stage of perfecting we're not perfect but we're going through a stage of perfecting and as we pray and as we try and as we get encouraged that's why Adam was given a wife to encourage him not the Adam to rule her and get my slippers and you do this and you did that because if you don't have Eve men go after Torah rails very quickly and it is the wife's responsibility to keep him there my wife should give a lecture on this he's very good at all this and she's right and she spent a lot of time and it ought to be done by somebody perfecting our set apartness in the fear of Elohim are we perfect no do we do everything right absolutely not but he will know our hearts and he will know that we are trying to do our best and then when we are clean let those the redeemed of Yahweh return because then we can return and they shall come to Zion with singing with everlasting joy is on their heads let them attain joy and gladness sorrow and sighting sighing will flee away I used to sigh a lot yeah not sighing anymore now but only the redeemed only the redeemed what does that mean those who are cleansed in the blood of Yeshua and have shortened themselves out and are living out the righteousness of the Torah what what's the purpose of mankind to be here to honor and glorify Yahweh to bring forth his righteousness yeah and to take care of our neighbor that's our purpose that the ransomed of Yahweh return only the ransomed only those who are redeemed and cleansed by the clean man will return you must declare this is a declaration not because I say so but it says come out of Babel spiritual Babel is the institutionalized church I used to say Roman Catholic Church now I say church plural because all the sisters the daughters are going back to the mother so they're all one big pot and if I tell you that the denomination that I used to belong to in in the Netherlands right is now run by atheists and the senate of the church says well we're not going to change it because they're in a minority the atheists are in the majority see unbelievable come out of Babel which is the false religious system flee from the Chaldeans declare I'm not saying it declare this with a voice of singing proclaim it send it out to the ends of the earth say Yahweh has redeemed his servant Jacob Yahweh has redeemed his servant Jacob and he said although you're a bunch of dead bones right I'm going to cleanse you I'm going to put a new heart in you I'm going to give you my spirit and these dead bones they will live because they are part of the house of Jacob and he says you flee Babel you flee all the Chaldeans all the false prophets and all the false religious systems you get out of there then say Yahweh has redeemed his servant Jacob and Yeshua what about him and he Yeshua shall reign over the house of Jacob forever he doesn't say he's going to reign over the Presbyterian church and the Roman Catholic no he is the redeemer of Israel and if you want to be redeemed it's very simple it's not a big deal you only have to do the following you come to your senses and you say I have been in the pig trough all my life but Yahweh by his grace has led me to a place where I can come to my senses where I need to repent from all that I've done in the past from all the sin that I've committed in the Babylonian religious systems against the Torah of Yahweh I want to return back to my father he's already there he's already ah he's coming he's coming right and what does he do he gives him the ring of the Sabbath around his finger because it's the sign and seal between Yahweh and his people right and he gives him a cloak of righteousness in Yeshua because he says if you do this I will not deny your name to my father but you shall walk with me in a cloak of righteousness that's exactly what the lost son was given and Yeshua he will reign over the house of Jacob forever Abba Yahweh we thank you for your word we praise you for your faithfulness and we thank you that you have by your grace led us thus far father will you call us because we will run to you and will you cleanse us from all our unrighteousness by the clean man will you make us tune in to you and to your word and will you teach us your righteousness that we may live it out and be examples in this world father you know our hearts you know that our hearts are sincere and we ask will you strengthen us strengthen us in the months and years that lie ahead in the sure knowledge that you have not appointed your people to endure wrath because Joseph made it clear that he was sold into slavery and punished so that he could be in your plan to work out for us a great salvation and to preserve in this earth a remnant that you have chosen unto yourself and you are going to protect this remnant from all that is about to happen if we are found worthy therefore father we thank you for Yeshua we thank you that he died on the stake and that by his blood we are cleansed from all our sin sins that we committed unknowingly but now that you have shown us the truth shall we now continue willingly sinning against you and your Torah father may it never be therefore we repent from all that we have done wrong and we ask will you lead us to the door instruct us in your Torah and bring us to the pastures green that we may live with you forever because our desire is to build you a house and it is better for us to be your keepers in your house than to walk in this sinful world father we are ready to go but we wait until Yeshua comes and leads us out at the appointed time honor and glory be to your name now and always amen you have been listening to let us reason together a weekly radio program
