In this segment: Chadwick references Revelation 22:17 about taking the water of life freely and then focuses on Psalm 119, King David's homage to Elohim and the Torah, which highlights the importance of God's commandments. He emphasizes the need for a repentant heart posture (Teshuvah) and contrasts it with hyper-grace teachings, also briefly touching on Islam as a significant threat.
Revelation 22:17: "And the Spirit and the bride say, 'Come.' And let him who hears say, 'Come.' And let all who thirst come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely." And that's also written in John 7, excuse me, John 7, Isaiah 12:1-2, and even in Exodus 15 as well when we look at it. Amen. And Psalm 118. Okay. So, Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Holy Scriptures. It was written by King David in homage to Elohim. He eloquently writes and gives each letter its rightful due, uncovering the richness of each one. In doing so, the man after God's own heart also highlights the importance of Torah. It is believed by some that David desired to not only teach Solomon the elect, but also the deep spiritual understanding of each letter. Thus, one of the reasons Elohim blessed Solomon with great and unmatched wisdom. Certainly, deep calls unto deep, and we will discover these with all 22 letters, which this is the last letter that we'll be going through. Amen.
All right. So, this is the homage that King David put on the letter Tav in Psalm 119. If one is not familiar with what I just said, or if it didn't make sense, Psalm 119 is written as homage to the Hebrew letters. There are eight verses to each letter. I'm not sure how the English Bible does it, but it should have the Aleph, eight verses; Bet, eight verses; Gimel, eight verses. And it gives eight verses to every single Hebrew letter. So, 22 letters King David writes about, and he gives the importance of understanding the commandments and having the right heart posture towards Yah's commandments as well. So, that being said, let's take this from King David, okay? He was the man after God's own heart. That's written in the Bible. No one else was given that title but him. So, let's take what he says about Psalm 119 about the Tav, but also with the Torah and the law as well.
It is written: "Let my cry come before You, O Lord; give me understanding according to Your word. Let my supplication come before You; deliver me according to Your word. My lips shall utter Your praise, for You teach me Your statutes. My tongue shall speak of Your word, for all of Your commandments are righteousness. Let Your hand become my help, for I have chosen Your precepts. I long for Your salvation, O Lord. Your law is my delight. Let my soul live, and it shall praise You, and let Your judgments help me. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I do not forget Your commandments." My friends, this is just really beautiful. If we look at it from the heart position that God, the man after God's own heart, had. Again, he's the only one that was given that. So, when he writes these things, that's coming from his heart posture to Yahweh's heart posture in Yeshua's. Look at what the King said: "Let my cry come before You, O Adonai. Give me understanding according to Your word, not my word, Your word. Let my supplication come before You. Deliver me according to Your word. My lips shall utter praise, for You teach me Your statutes. My tongue shall speak of Your word, for all of Your commandments are righteousness." Okay, I think our Christian preachers need to go back and read this. All of Your commandments are righteousness. Not bondage, not the law, not all this stuff. They're righteousness, His commandments. "Let Your hand become my help, for I have chosen Your precepts. I long for Your salvation, Yeshua, O Lord, and Your Torah is my delight." How many Christians say that the Torah is their delight? How many? Not many. "Let my soul live, and it shall praise You, and let Your judgments help me. I have gone astray like a lost sheep. Seek Your servant, for I do not forget Your commandments." How many Christians say that? How many Christians say, "I do not forget Your commandments. I meditate on them day and night." How many people? How many of us do that? Okay. This is the heart posture of someone who loves God. Psalm 119. And that's why Yeshua says what He says in John 14:15: "If you love Me, keep My commandments." Now, go back and read King David and how King David looked at His commandments and why he's King David and why Yeshua is going to sit on His everlasting throne. So, I think people get it confused here of what Yeshua is coming to do. Yeshua's coming to sit on David's everlasting throne, and He's not going to negate anything that David did or said about the Torah and His holy words, and "the Torah is my delight." So, that's the heart posture that we have to be in so that we can purify ourselves and refine ourselves like King David did. Just like King David said, "I've gone astray like a lost sheep." I know I have. I know you probably have as well at times. We all have. But look at what he says: "Seek Your servant." Seek us out, Father, for I do not forget Your commandments. And whenever someone says that, the Father will seek you out because you do not forget His commandments. So again, it's something that I believe that Christianity needs to revisit. You know, revisit these things in the heart position that all of God's servants had to His Torah, to His laws, commandments, statutes, regulations, all of these things that matter. Because again, that's why we're out of alignment, because we're not following the Torah. That's why we're out of alignment with judgment. We're out of alignment with partiality. We're out of alignment with any of these things because, again, we get our feelings and our emotions involved. We've got to let the Torah figure all this out. When I say Torah, Yahweh's figured this out. We've got to follow what He has said through His Torah, the Prophets, and also the Psalms. And when we do that, then we're going to understand when someone's bribing somebody, when someone's being partial because they love someone too much out of alignment with the scriptures and stuff like that. And we've got to be in alignment. Just like God, He deals with us as well. He deals with us because He loves us and He wants us to get better and better and better. Not condemnation. He wants us to get better and better and better. There's no condemnation in Christ Jesus, right? So, since that's the case, if we follow His commandments, I'm talking about, please don't forget that if you follow His commandments, there's no condemnation because, just like King David says, look at what he says: "Let Your judgments help me." I've gone astray like a lost sheep. I know I have. Seek Your servant, for I do not forget Your commandments. That is the repentance heart posture that we have to have. Instead of all this hyper-grace that is going on out there, that Jesus loves everybody and you can do your thing. Yes, He does love everybody to follow His commandments. For sure. But look at again what King David said at the very end here: "Let my soul live, and it shall praise You, and let Your judgments help me." How many of us say that? "Let Your judgments help me." No one likes judgments. "Let Your judgments help me. I have gone astray like a lost sheep." There's the Teshuvah. There's the repentance. "Seek Your servant, Adonai." Very beautiful, my friends.
If we look at it through every Hebrew letter, we have found the same thing that King David said about the commandments, about the commandments. That's why it's amazing Psalm 119 is written or placed right after Psalm 113 through 118. Psalm 113 through 118 are the Hallel Psalms for the feast days. But if we don't know that, we're not going to understand the trajectory of the gospel accounts when we read what Yeshua was doing at His first coming events. When He was given the business to the Pharisees and the Sadducees and all of these things, the verbal abuse, or whatever you want to call it, the chastisement, we won't understand what He's trying to get them to understand. He was wanting them to understand these things. But if we don't, then we're not going to understand them either. With His first coming events, every gospel account will tell you He was crucified on Passover. It's amazing Christianity doesn't celebrate that. And then you go into John 7 and John 8, some of the fall feast day understandings as well, where He says about pouring out the water, you know, taking the water freely from the wells of salvation, talking about the Holy Spirit in John 7. Well, He's talking about Isaiah 12. He's talking about what Moses wrote in Exodus 15, Psalm 118. So, if we're not understanding the trajectory of what Yeshua is saying, that's why we don't understand the gospel accounts, because we're not understanding the Torah. We're not understanding God's instructions on what He had to do as the Jewish Messiah. My Christian friends had to, must, or He would not be the Jewish Messiah. That's why it's important. We talk about it all the time, but friends, you know, look around, see what's going down. It's very important to get this right because people are going to be caught as a thief in the night, and they're not even going to know it. People think that they're good, and they don't have the education even to be good, is what I'm trying to say. We've got to have knowledge, because if not, we will perish. We will have thief in the night. All of these things, and I don't want to see anybody go through that. You know the days of Awe, the 10 days of Awe. I mean, please go read what happens during those 10 days on this earth. That's when you want to be hidden in the day of Adonai. But if we don't understand the feast season and if we don't understand these events, everybody's eschatology is going to be all over the place. So, I'm gonna get raptured seven years before, three and a half years before, this before that, before. No, one time. You want to be hidden in the day of Adonai, is what Isaiah 27 says. Excuse me. What Psalm 27:6 says. Isaiah says that, I believe in Isaiah 26 as well. And Zephaniah says the same thing. Three great prophets say you will to be hidden in the time of Jacob's Trouble. No, in the day of Adonai. Two different events, everybody. Seven years of just hell on earth, and then you've got Yeshua with the 10 days of Awe. With the 10 days. So, please understand that the Day of the Lord is not the Great Tribulation. They are two different events. Seven years, three and a half years of that, the Antichrist. At the end, at the end of the Antichrist's reign, Yeshua's going to come on the Feast of Trumpets. So, that's why the tribulation will start on the Feast of Trumpets and it will end on the Feast of Trumpets on that Shmita cycle. So, we have to really understand that, friends, the trajectory of the Most High. This is one of my favorite seasons to get into, to be honest with you, these feast seasons, because of individual stuff, but also for just in general education, because we all learn a lot during these feast seasons because there is so much to learn during these fall feasts of His return. It is the thing that you're looking forward to: the glorious arrival of Yeshua, the Messiah. That is what we're looking forward to. And again, we can see the trajectory going right now. But friends, it is very important to understand He's the Aleph. He's the Tav, the conclusion of the matter, Yeshua. And when He returns, He will show everybody that He is the Jewish Messiah by fulfilling these things, just like He fulfilled those first four events that, again, He had to do that. He had to do it. And if He didn't do it, He wouldn't be the Jewish Messiah. So, it's just that important. And there's not enough conversation about it. I mean, I see people debating with the Orthodox rabbis and things like that, and they never mention this. They never mention the divine appointments that Yeshua did fulfill that you can prove in the Holy Bible, with the Torah, the Prophets, the Psalms, and the Gospels and the New Testament writings. We all debate on Isaiah 9 and Isaiah 7, which are very important, of course, a very important debate, but goodness gracious, who could deny the fact that Yeshua did these things perfectly? Fulfilled them. Leviticus 23 and Exodus 12, the prophetic foreshadows. He fulfilled them perfectly at His first coming events. Why? Because He had to. Because He's perfect, and He had to be perfect. And if we could talk to our Jewish friends more about this, instead of getting bogged down in some of these scriptures that, okay, you're just going to get bogged down with them. This is facts. Go read the Torah. Read Exodus or Leviticus 23, Exodus 12. Go read every gospel account, and He's going to fulfill everything according to the prophecies. It's really an amazing thing. But our Jewish friends need to wake up and understand that bad times are coming, not good times. Bad times are coming. The time of Jacob's Trouble is coming, is what's coming, not anything else. And they have got to understand that their King and their Messiah is waiting on them to return to Him. And then when they do, you won't be hearing about any of this stuff of Persia, Iran, Turkey, the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, all these terror groups. They'll be annihilated. They'll be totally annihilated by the Most High God. They will not be annihilated by the work of our own hands. And that's something that we all need to wake up and understand. Islam is going nowhere until Yeshua cleans everything up. And that's for the Jews and Christians to really understand. How's that going for everybody? Islam is Islam. It's the greatest threat. Not the Muslim people. The religion itself is the biggest threat to mankind. And we need to really understand that. I love the Muslim people. I've had Muslim people who listen to us in Pakistan, Arabia, all over there. And I love them at the same time. And I'm sure they can understand that as well, or they wouldn't be listening to the channel. That Islam is that big boy that only one person is going to do that, and that is Yeshua, the Messiah.
