Genesis to Revelation: The Separation of Light and Darkness ;The Children of Light & Eternal Kingdom

Shabbat shalom, friends. My name is Chadwick Harvey. You have reached Faithful Performance. Thank you so much for joining us tonight as we explore from Genesis to Revelation, the separation of light and darkness, and also the children of light and the eternal kingdom. We're going to go from Genesis to Revelation and show all the scriptures with the light and the darkness and how that relates to you and me. It's not only about the sun and the moon, or the light and the darkness; it's about whether we're in the light or we're in the darkness, as well as the scriptures will proclaim to all of us.

So, thank you so much, everybody, for joining us. We hope everybody's had a great week, and I hope everybody's going to have a great Shabbat ahead as the transition to truly fall comes into place, especially here in the South, for sure. So, I hope everybody's enjoying the fall weather here this weekend.

Before we commence, there are a couple of announcements we'd like to make. We have released our book, the second edition of "God's Prophetic Timeline: The Unsealing of Daniel's Book." This is the second edition that we released from 2016, which was "God's Prophetic Timeline" as well, and it carries you more through the understandings of the book of Daniel from those 10 years since we released the first book. Now, we're seeing it really come to fruition of what the prophecies of Daniel do say. So, we go through that in a very timeline-oriented, if you will, not setting dates, just to understand 1948, to understand 1967, to understand the four kingdoms that are going to come down before Yeshua returns for the second coming event. So, you can get a free ebook of this on my website, faithfulperformance.org. If you sign up for the email, then you'll automatically get an ebook of "God's Prophetic Timeline." And also, "The Cross to the Crown" book, which is right behind me, which is basically going through the calendar year of the biblical calendar and the feast days and the fast days and all of those important days on the calendar. So, please visit us at the website, faithfulperformance.org. We've got a lot of other cool things on there for you as well, but you can get the free ebooks on the website.

Also, don't forget to visit us at thewatchmanreport.com. There, we have all the articles coming in from all the different places of the news sources to kind of give us an idea of what's going on, and then we can all make our opinion on those articles and what we're seeing in the Middle East. So, if you want to visit us at thewatchmanreport.com, it gets updated every, I think, four to six hours. I believe that's the case. So, it's renewed every day. I think you can sign up for that email as well, and you'll get one email a day from the Watchman Report just to let you know that. So, we're not trying to blow up your email box, but if you sign up for the website, you'll get the emails of the videos and the transcripts that we do every time, and then the free ebooks that we release. And then on the Watchman Report, you'll get one every single day. So, at Faithful Performance, you will not get one every day because we don't do the videos every day, but the Watchman Report, you will get one every day with just the updates of the news articles of what's going on in the Middle East.

Also, we are going back to Israel here June 7th through the 17th next year for the Festival of Shavuot. We'll be over there for that beautiful festival. It'll be an 11-day tour. It's an awesome lineup, if you will, of all the historical sites, but it's really going to turn prophetic for what we're trying to do with the Day of the Lord experience because we want to show people those three battle points from the northern battle point of Megiddo, Armageddon, Megiddo, all the way through Jerusalem, the battle for Jerusalem, Zechariah 14, and then all the way down to the southern valley, all the way to Petra and Mount Seir. That 180 miles that John talks about in the book of Revelation that says 1600 furlongs, that's about 180 to 200 miles. And when you look at the northern battle point of Megiddo through Jerusalem, through the southern Jordan Valley, all the way down to the mountain range, you will find your 180 miles where the blood will be up 4 feet high for 180 miles by Yeshua the Messiah. So, we wanted to show people that live and in color, and that's the main sites that we're going to see, but we'll also see all the historical sites in Jerusalem, the holy city, etc., the Sea of Galilee. So, you can go on the QR code or you can email me as well, or again, go to the website, and it'll give you the schedule, and we'll be doing videos on the schedule of the 11 days. I believe Marty and I will be doing that here live as well, whoever is interested in going over there. So, we'll be doing that, I believe, pretty soon.

Before we commence, we want to wish everybody again, Shabbat shalom. It is a beautiful time as we see the seasons change and as we see the seasons change from light to where it gets darker a little bit sooner than it normally does. I think it's a great opportunity for us to go through what was in the Torah portion last week, which is Genesis 1, and then we'll be going through what's in the Torah portion this week with Noah, here either Sunday night or Monday night, somewhere in there. So, we don't do the Torah portions, if you will, right now, we don't, but there are some great understandings if you read Genesis. That's where we are right now in the Torah portions. If one's not familiar with that, what they do is they divide the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, into portions every weekend. So, you're reading the entire five books of the Bible, the first five books, every year, and there's a lot of wisdom that goes into that, and it's on the seasonal calendar, if you will. So, it's really a beautiful thing.

But again, tonight, when I was reading the Torah portion last weekend on Shabbat, after we did the Friday night video, it just hit me like a ton of bricks about this light and dark. And then I started doing some research on it, and it was really amazing what to find, how the biblical scriptures align throughout from Genesis to Revelation. So, tonight, we're going to try to go through those very thoroughly with you. Thank you so much for joining us. Shabbat shalom to everybody out there. We hope you guys rest easy in the Lord and enjoy this beautiful weather wherever you may be. That it is beautiful, of course. I know there's some weather out there in the Caribbean and also on the west coast of California and Mexico. So, our thoughts and prayers are with those people, for sure. But if it is beautiful, please enjoy this beautiful fall that we are seeing right now.

But tonight, we're going to look at a very important concept, and it's really a concept that we all have to understand: the light and the dark, and how that pertains to both you and me. Okay. So, this is going to be a study from Genesis to Revelation, the separation of light and darkness. So, we'll first begin in Genesis 1, verses 2 through 4. And this is what the scripture says: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, 'Let there be light.' And there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God divided the light from the darkness."

Before God establishes the order of creation, darkness covers the deep. Then God speaks, light comes forth after He speaks, and God separates the light from the darkness. This is going to travail and travel through all of the Holy Scriptures to Revelation, to the eternal kingdom of what Yahweh did in Genesis 1:2-4, okay? Or 1-4. We're going to see this all the way to Revelation 22 about Him dividing the light from the darkness. And He's just not talking about the sun and the moon and the day and the night. He's talking about the believers compared to the unbelievers. Okay. So, before God establishes the order of creation, darkness covers the deep. He speaks, light comes forth, and God separates the light from the darkness.

So, let's notice three important things here: God Himself brings forth the light; God declares the light good; and God establishes a distinction between light and darkness. And there's another interesting detail: this occurs on the first day, before the sun, moon, and stars are appointed on the fourth day. That distinction becomes especially interesting when we read Revelation 21 and 22, where the New Jerusalem does not need the sun or the moon to illuminate it because God's glory provides its light. So, Genesis begins with light originating through God's command. Revelation ends with God's light illuminating His people. That is our first major connection.

Now, let's go to John 1, verses 1 through 9, and also we'll continue from there. But John 1, verses 1 through 9, this is talking about Yeshua is the light of men. Now, consider how John begins his gospel. John 1, verses 1 through 5: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."

So, John deliberately begins with the same words found in Genesis: "In the beginning." This establishes a remarkable literary and theological connection. If you look at the comparisons here, it's pretty amazing from Genesis 1 and John 1. Genesis 1: "In the beginning, God created." In John 1: "In the beginning was the Word." In Genesis 1, God speaks creation into existence. In John 1, all things were made through the Word, Yeshua. God says, "Let there be light" in Genesis 1. And in John 1, the Word is the light of men, Yeshua. God separates the light from the darkness in Genesis 1. In John 1, the light shines in the darkness, hoping that they will come to the light. In Genesis 1, the light is declared good. And in John 1, we have the true light gives light to mankind.

So, there's an extraordinary understanding with this about the light of the world, Yeshua the Messiah, compared to the darkness. So, it's not only about sun and moon and also day and night. It's also about believers as well, compared to the unbelievers. Okay? When I say believers, the true believers in Yeshua the Messiah, following the commandments, following Him, not just people who are not following Him. Okay? So, I'm talking about the true believers, the set-apart believers, the ones in the light compared to the darkness. Okay? So, there's a great comparison between Genesis 1 and John 1. And thus, the reason John's book, his gospel, is about the deity of Yeshua. Okay? So, every gospel writer wrote about a certain way. Matthew wrote to the Jewish people. Luke wrote to the Gentiles more. John is about the deity of Yeshua the Messiah. And thus, when you compare Genesis 1 to John 1, it is a phenomenal comparison and should wake up a lot of people, our Jewish friends and our Christian friends, to understand from Genesis to Revelation, you're going to see this light versus darkness understanding.

So, John is showing us that the Word through whom creation came into existence is also the source of spiritual life and light. But notice something else: in Genesis, darkness is a condition of the physical creation. In John, darkness also describes the spiritual condition of the people of the world. John 1, verses 9 through 11, explains that the true light came into the world, yet the world did not know Him. This brings us to an important development: God separated physical light from darkness at creation. Through Yeshua, the distinction becomes spiritual light and darkness, revealed in humanity, in people. And that takes us directly into John chapter 3.

In John chapter 3, verses 18 through 21: "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, Yeshua, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in Yahweh."

Okay, so this is very important. Look at what he says here, where I've underlined this: "But he or she who does the truth." What is the truth? Okay, this is very important when we break these things down. What is the truth? Yeshua is the truth. He says He's the Way, the Truth, and the Life. But does this make sense by saying, "But he who does Yeshua comes to the light"? That does not make sense. But he who does the Torah comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen and they have been done in Yahweh. And again, God spoke out in the Torah. Okay? So, again, when you break down these, John 3, he's not talking when he says, "But he who does the truth." King David calls the truth the Torah in Psalm 119. It's the Way in Psalm 119, and it is the Life in Psalm 119. Thus, the reason Yeshua said in John 14:6, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life," which is the Torah. He's the Word made flesh, which is the Torah made flesh. So, again, my friends, there's a connection, obviously, between Yeshua and the Torah. He is the living Torah. That's He's the Word made flesh. So, again, He's the living Torah who explained how to live according to the Torah. So, that's why when He says this right here, "But he who does the truth comes to the light." Well, what is the truth? Okay, you can't "do" Yeshua, but he who does the Torah, follows the commandments of God, comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in Yahweh. Amen and amen.

So, let's look at the progression here. In Genesis 1, God separates light from darkness. In John 1, Yeshua is revealed as the true light. In John 3, humanity is distinguished by its response to that light, including the response to His commandments, His instructions. The distinction is no longer simply between day and night. It is between people who come to the light and follow Him and His commandments, and those who do not, those who reject the commandments. And notice that Yeshua connects this distinction to people's deeds. Okay, the deeds, everybody. You're getting rewarded for your deeds. It says in Revelation, chapter 2, also at the end of the book of Revelation, He's coming to give you your rewards for your deeds, your works. Works and faith go together. That's what Yeshua's brother, Yakov, said, James, the book of James: "Works and faith both go together, because faith without works is dead," is what Yeshua's brother would say. Okay.

And notice that Yeshua, He does connect this distinction to our deeds. Light reveals truth. Darkness conceals evil. John 8:12, Yeshua declares Himself as the light of the world. This was on Shemini Atzeret, where He was circumcised on the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles. He said it for a reason on that feast day because of what that day means. Shemini Atzeret, the light, eternal life. That's what it means. The eighth day, eternal life. And He stands up on the eighth day in Jerusalem and says, "I am the light of the world, everybody." So, we'll read that. I was just giving context to where why He said it and when He said it. He said it on a certain day for a certain reason.

Then Yeshua spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." So, again, He is distinguishing between those who follow Him. When they say "follow Him," that means follow what He did: Shabbat, Passover, Unleavened Bread, Feast of Trumpets, Shavuot, follow the ways that Yeshua did. Okay? We pick up our cross and follow Him, right? So, consider the connection with Genesis here. God brings forth light on the first day. Yeshua identifies Himself as the light of the world. And those who follow Him no longer walk in spiritual darkness. Yeshua offers the light of life to those who follow Him, and that light is directly connected with eternal life.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11, this is the separation of the children of the light and the children of the darkness. My Christian friends, if they really understood what Paul was really speaking about right here, they would read 1 Thessalonians 5 in a very different manner, and also 1 Thessalonians 4 as well. But we have to understand where Paul was getting all of these things from, these concepts, these ideas, the scriptures from the Torah and the prophets and the Psalms. So, if we don't understand where Paul's coming from, then we're going to take him out of context.

So, let's read what the Apostle says here. This is where the theme becomes explicitly prophetic and eschatological. Okay. 1 Thessalonians 5, verses 1-2: "But concerning the times and the seasons," which is the calendar, the biblical calendar and the feast days, "brethren, you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night." So, immediately Paul introduces the Day of the Lord. Then he describes a distinction between two groups of people.

1 Thessalonians 5, verses 4-5: "But you, brethren, you are not in darkness." He's talking about the faithful Thessalonian church because they were faithful. They knew the times and the seasons. They were obedient. They were following the biblical calendar. They were following the feast days. They understood what was going down. He says, "You are not in darkness, Thessalonians, so that this day, the Day of the Lord, should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of the light and sons of the day." Why are they called sons of the light and sons of the day? The Thessalonian church was because they were faithful and they knew the times and the seasons. That is totally related to the times and the seasons of what Paul's talking about by being the children of the light in this passage, and he relates it to the Day of the Lord. And it says that they will not escape. Who doesn't understand the times and the seasons? So, 1 Thessalonians 5 is a really huge amount of information for us to really digest as far as prophecy is concerned, eschatological, you name it, because he goes through many, many crucial understandings in 1 Thessalonians 5. But if we don't understand the calendar, if we don't understand the feast days, if we don't understand how that all works with the second coming events when Yeshua returns, we're not sons of the light as far as what Paul is saying.

Okay. "But you, brethren, are not in darkness." Those who keep the times and the seasons, all of you, so that the Day of the Lord should not overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. He does not say that about the ones who do not know the times and the seasons. "We are not of the day nor of the darkness," as he concludes. Okay. So, there is a difference. Just like Yeshua separated, just like God separated the light from the darkness in Genesis 1, Paul's doing that with the believers. Yeshua is doing that with the people. Not believers. The believers are sons of the light. Those who follow the times and the seasons, those who follow the commandments, those who obey God, they're the sons of the light. If one is not obeying God and not observing the Sabbath, feast days, all of these things, then they're not. Okay? That's just the bottom line.

Now, you're going to see that throughout the book of the Holy Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, it's going to get very personal for all of us on what God is trying to tell all of us to be in the light and not of the darkness. How do you be in the light? Follow His commandments and be saved by Yeshua the Messiah, and be led by the blessed Holy Spirit. Okay? But people are forgetting about the commandments. And Paul is trying to tell everybody concerning the times and the seasons. If you don't understand that, you're not a son of the light because you'll be caught as a thief in the night. So, you'll be in the night because you'll be caught as a thief in the night, right? So, again, he makes it very clear if we break him down. What does this mean? He wants us to follow God. Follow the calendar. Follow the feast days. Follow Yeshua. Okay? These are for Yeshua to fulfill. Okay? And if we're not observing them as spirit and in truth, worshiping Him together, then we're not sons of the light. We're just not. Okay? That's what Paul says. He wants you to be obedient. If anyone can show me in the Bible where people are disobedient in the Bible and God's like, "Okay, you got the grace. Go ahead." Never. Okay? There's always a time period of grace, and then after that grace is up, here comes the gleam. And that's the way our Lord is. And that's how some people don't want to view the Lord. But the Lord is a man of justice, righteousness, obedience. And then whenever people get out of alignment, then He will warn them. And after He warns them for whatever period of time He wants, then here comes bad stuff.

As we all know, my friends, if you study 1 Thessalonians 5, my Christian friends out there, if this is Chinese to you right now, then that's for a reason. Because if you read 1 Thessalonians 5 and you're not calculating the calendar and the feast days with what Paul's saying, don't even read it because it's not going to make sense to you anyhow, or to me anyhow. Okay? Because we've got to have the education to read Paul. If we don't, we're all going to look stupid. Okay? We've got to have the education to read this man, the Torah-based gospel that he would have understood. We've got to understand that as well, and it's really beautiful.

But concerning the calendar and the seasons, brethren, all of you out there, you faithful believers, you sons of the light, there is no need that I should write to you or even talk to you, for you yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night. He's comparing the Day of the Lord to the times and the seasons, to understand the times and the seasons. And if we don't, then we're going to be caught as a thief in the night. So, again, look at 1 Thessalonians 5, verses 4-5: "But you, brethren, are not in darkness." You Thessalonian church, because you're faithful, you're observant, you're following Shabbat, you're following the Passover, you're following the feast days, you understand these things, so that the Day of the Lord should not overtake you as a thief because you're faithful. And look at what he says: "You are all sons of the light and sons of the day." Why? Because they understood the times and the seasons. This is very important. "We are not of the night nor of the darkness." Which means the people who do not know the times and the seasons. And Paul goes on to say that they will not escape. Okay? And they will be judged tremendously.

So, this is a tremendous connection. Paul identifies believers, excuse me, sons of the light, sons of the day, those who understand the time and the seasons, those who are not in darkness, those who should remain spiritually awake and sober. Now, consider Genesis again. God divided the light from the darkness. Paul describes a spiritual distinction between those belonging to the day and those belonging to the night. The separation established in the language of creation becomes a description of two spiritual conditions within humanity, mankind. Okay? Obedient or disobedient, light or dark, good or evil, hot or cold, wise or foolish. I mean, all throughout the Bible, it makes a very clear distinction of in or out. Very clear distinction. Okay.

Paul also connects the distinction directly with understanding the time and the seasons and the Day of the Lord. The prophetic significance of this, Paul is not merely discussing personal morality. He is discussing how crucial it is to understand the times and the seasons and people's readiness for the coming Day of the Lord. Those in darkness are portrayed as unprepared, just like the foolish virgins, right? Those belonging to the light are instructed to watch and remain sober, which are the wise virgins, which brings us to that as well. So, this connects beautifully with Yeshua's teachings in Matthew 24-25.

In Matthew 25, the wise virgins are prepared for the bridegroom's arrival, while the foolish virgins are not. So, remember, they all had lamps. Everybody had a lamp. All 10 of them. Five of them had oil to have the light. If you don't have the oil, you have no light. What is the oil? Torah. Okay? We've got to have the light, everybody. Because that's what Yeshua said about the Torah. Okay? King David as well. So, again, all 10 virgins were believers. I love Jesus. Five of them were wise and obedient. Five of them were unwise and disobedient, and they did not have oil to have a light. So, they were in darkness, right? Even though they were believers, they were in darkness because they had lamps with no oil for light. So, again, He makes it very clear, friends, there's going to be a lot of believers who love Jesus who are going to be caught as a thief in the night, knocking on the ark and saying, "Let me in! Let me in!" And He's going to say, "I never knew you. Get away from me, those who practice lawlessness, those who do not practice the Torah, the law." Okay? That's what He's going to say. And so that's another scripture that goes into this. He says it Himself: "Get away from me, those who do not follow My Father's commandments, the Torah," is what Yeshua says. Jesus says that. So, again, take it from the Master's mouth, my Christian friends, who is not obedient right now to the Sabbath, Passover, feast days, new months, all this. Please understand this now that you're not in the light, not because of what Yeshua says, what Paul says, what God says in the Torah. I mean, we're just not if we're not keeping the commandments and following Him. It's really that clear.

So, in Matthew 25, the wise virgins are prepared for the bridegroom's arrival while the foolish virgins are not. So, again, five had oil, five did not. So, no oil, no light. That means darkness. Although Matthew 25 uses the imagery of lamps and readiness rather than Paul's exact terminology, the parallel is still significant. Light, oil, watchfulness, preparedness, and the coming of the Messiah belong together, not separate. Again, you can have your lampstand all you want, my Christian friends, but if you don't have the Torah, the oil in it, then you have no light. No light.

In Ephesians 5:8-14, "From Darkness into Light." Look at what Paul says in Ephesians 5:8: "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light." This is extremely important. Now, check this out. I'm going to read it again: "For you were once darkness." All of us, me included. "But now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light." So, notice Paul's language. He does not simply say that believers once lived in darkness. He says, "We were once darkness." Okay? Every one of us was once darkness, but now we are the light in the Lord. Well, how do you be in the Lord? Well, you pick up your cross and you follow Him, and you do what Yeshua did, Jesus did. And you follow the Father's commandments because this is very simple to connect. Jesus said, "Pick up your cross and follow me." What does that mean? That means to follow Him. What did He do? He had to, as the Jewish Messiah, had to must follow His Father's commandments, or He would not be the Son of God. He would not be the Jewish Messiah. He would not be the King of Israel. He would not be the seed of David, the seed of Abraham. He would not be of the line of the tribe of Judah if He went rogue on the Father. Okay? And that's what we have now is a bunch of rogue Christians out there who think they've got the grace to not follow the Father's commandments, and they're just not walking in the light. They're just not, according to all these scriptures that we're showing you, and there's plenty more to come.

So, look at what Paul says. Paul says that you're not just living in darkness. We were once darkness, okay? But now you are light in the Lord if we're following Yeshua and doing what He did, and not what Constantine or the church or the synagogues tell you to do. Paul then connects walking in the light with goodness, righteousness, and truth. This reinforces the distinction in John 3. The separation of light and darkness is reflected in obedience. And this distinction is not based on nationality, ethnicity, or social standing. It is grounded in one's relationship, Jew or Gentile, with Messiah, and keeping His Father's commandments. And we will go through that in John 14:15.

In Revelation 20, the final judgment and separation of humanity. Revelation 20 describes the thousand-year reign, Satan's final rebellion, and the Great White Throne Judgment. Revelation 20:12: "And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life." Then verse 15 states: "And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." This is not explicitly called a separation of light from darkness. Nevertheless, it represents the final judgment of humanity that prepares for the vision of the new heaven and the new earth, which is the light versus the dark.

Notice the larger progression here, my friends. Genesis 1 establishes an ordered creation. John 1 reveals the light who enters the world. John 3 describes humanity's response to that light and the commandments. 1 Thessalonians 5 identifies the children of light in relation to understanding the Lord. Revelation 20 describes the final judgment. And then comes Revelation 21.

Revelation 21: We have no more darkness in the New Jerusalem. Amen. Revelation 21, verse 23: "The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light." There you go again, at the very end of the Bible. The Lamb is the light. And now go back to Genesis 1 as well. Genesis 1: God brings light into the darkness. Revelation 21: The glory of God illuminates the New Jerusalem, and the Lamb is its light. Think about that. At creation, God separates light from darkness. In the New Jerusalem, God's glory and the Lamb provide the light, and darkness is no longer.

But there's another connection concerning people. In Revelation 21, verse 24: "And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it." Look at the language: "The nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light." That corresponds beautifully with John 8:12, where Yeshua promises that those who follow Him will have the light of life. Very beautiful. And it corresponds with Ephesians 5, where Paul instructs believers to walk as children of the light. Now, in Revelation 21, the redeemed nations walk in the light of God's glory. This is an extraordinary biblical progression that we have.

But there's something else in Revelation 21:25: "Its gates shall not be shut at all by day, and there shall be no night, no darkness there." Okay, so here you go again. The light, there will be no darkness. So, again, there shall be no night there. Again, separation between light and dark. So, remember Genesis 1:5, God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. Now, Revelation describes a city where there is no night. The contrast is unmistakable. Genesis describes the establishment of day and night. Revelation describes the eternal city illuminated by God's glory and the Lamb's light, without the night. God's presence provides everlasting light to His redeemed people. Amen and amen and amen.

So, now let's go to Revelation 22. "The servants of God reign in His light forever." Now, consider the final chapter of the Holy Scriptures. Revelation 22, verses 3 through 5: "And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. There shall be no night there, no darkness there. They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light, and they shall reign forever and ever." Amen.

So, let's look at the connections again. Genesis 1: God brings forth light. John 1: The Word is the light of men. John 8: Yeshua declares Himself the light of the world. 1 Thessalonians 5: Believers are called children of the light, the ones who are following the commandments. Revelation 21: The redeemed nations walk in the light of God's glory. In Revelation 22, God's servants dwell in His light and reign forever and ever. And there is no more night in the city. So, what began in Genesis with God separating light from darkness culminates in the redeemed dwelling eternally in God's light.

So, now let's go to Isaiah 60, which is a prophecy to what we just read with Revelation 21 and 22. There's a lot of people who look at this scripture as right now, so to speak, but as we will continue to read it, you will see that it's talking about the eternal kingdom. Okay. So, the prophecy of the everlasting life in Isaiah 60, verses 1 through 3: "Arise, shine, for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will rise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and the kings to the brightness of your rising."

Notice the language: "The darkness covers the earth. A deep darkness covers the people. But the Lord will rise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you." The Gentiles shall come to your light, which is Yeshua the Messiah. Okay? Now, let's look at the corresponding scripture that, remember Simeon, okay, in Luke 2:29-32, the prophet Simeon. Look at what he said here before he passed to the other side to Yahweh: "Lord, now you are letting Your servant depart in peace, according to Your word; for my eyes have seen Your salvation which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, a light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel."

So, there's a beautiful connection between Isaiah 60 and also in Luke 2 right here with the light to the Gentiles. That's the light of the world, Yeshua. And also, you can go read Isaiah 42:6 and also Isaiah 49 as well, and it's a light to the Gentiles, is what it says as well. So, does that sound familiar? Revelation 21 describes nations walking in the light of the New Jerusalem, and kings bringing their glory into it. John's vision strongly echoes Isaiah's prophecy.

But now let's look at Isaiah 60, verses 19-20, as we continue to read the prophecy: "The sun shall no longer be your light by day, nor for your brightness shall the moon give light to you; but the Lord will be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory." So, again, that's a great tie-in for what we just read with the book of Revelation, also Luke 2 as well, about the everlasting kingdom, the children of light in the eternal kingdom, is what Isaiah 60 is really concluding with. And in verse 20, it concludes: "For the Lord will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended." Amen and amen and amen.

So, this is one of the clearest prophetic foundations for Revelation 21 and 22. John is not introducing a new concept in the book of Revelation. He's going off of the prophets of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, the Torah, etc. John is drawing upon prophetic promises already revealed through Isaiah and also throughout his book, the other biblical prophets in the Tanakh. The Lord Himself becomes the everlasting light of His people in the New Jerusalem. Amen and amen.

So, the entire biblical progression so far that we've seen, look at the progression throughout the scriptures. Genesis 1:1-5, God creates the light, and then the light is divided from the darkness. John 1:1-9, Yeshua is the true light. The light shines in a darkened world. John 3:19-21, light reveals truth, then humanity responds to or rejects the light and the commandments. John 8:12, Yeshua is the light of the world. His followers no longer walk in darkness. Ephesians 5:8-14, believers become light in the Lord. And then the separation is children of the light walk differently. We're set apart. We follow the commandments, you know, through Yeshua and the blessed Holy Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11, children of light await the Day of the Lord, and the children of the dark do not. Spiritual watchfulness, or excuse me, spiritual watchfulness contrasts with darkness. Okay. Isaiah 60:1-3 and 19-20, God's glory rises upon His people, and nations are drawn to His everlasting light. Revelation 20:11-15, final judgment takes place. The separation, humanity is judged before the new creation. Revelation 21:23-25, the Lamb illuminates the New Jerusalem. The separation, redeemed nations walk in its light. No night exists there. And then Revelation 22:3-5, God gives everlasting light. His servants reign forever in His presence. Separation of the light from the darkness, everybody. And it's not talking about day and night only. It's talking about people as well. Humanity as well. Separating the light from the darkness.

What is the light and what is the darkness? From what we have seen so far, and you will continue to see this as we go through the study here, which we're about halfway done with, is the light are the ones who are following Yeshua, the blessed Holy Spirit, and then the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, will lead you to the truth, which is the Torah. Okay? That is the light. The darkness is anything not that. Okay? So, pretty much, there's only one light. There's only one way to be set apart: Yeshua, Holy Spirit, and follow the commandments. Okay? That is the light, everybody, that we have to follow to be part of the light.

The deep prophetic connection that we have here. The Holy Scriptures begin with darkness covering the deep. Then God speaks light into existence. Throughout scripture, humanity experiences spiritual darkness because of sin. Then Yeshua, the true light, enters the world. He calls people out of darkness into His marvelous light. Paul identifies those who belong to Messiah as children of light and children of the day because they are knowing the times and the seasons. They understand. They're following the commandments. They're faithful. Paul connects that identity with the times and the seasons and the coming of the Day of Adonai. The prophetic narrative then moves through judgment, the reign of Messiah, and ultimately the new creation. And when we reach the final two chapters of Revelation, the redeemed dwell in a city where God's glory provides everlasting life. Pretty amazing. The remarkable progression is that God first separates light from darkness in creation, then calls people out of spiritual darkness, and ultimately brings His redeemed people into His everlasting light.

In Colossians 1:12-13, this is what Paul says: "Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. Not the darkness, in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love." Amen. This verse almost summarizes the entire teaching. God delivers people from the dominion of darkness and brings them into the kingdom of His Son, and the ultimate destination of that kingdom is the eternal dwelling of God with His people.

2 Corinthians 4:6: "For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Yeshua Messiah." Paul explicitly connects the light of Genesis 1 with the spiritual illumination that comes through Yeshua. He's not merely using similar imagery. He's deliberately drawing the comparison. He is a Torah scholar, my friends. As we all know, a Torah scholar. We have to understand how he would have understood the concepts of the Torah, the light and the darkness, Jacob crossing his hands with Joseph's children being grafted in, all of these concepts and understandings that we have. We have to understand how to read Paul, because when we do, we read him very fluidly. If we don't, then welcome to replacement theology on both sides of the aisle, so to speak. Okay.

So, again, God who commanded the light to shine out of the darkness at creation is the same God who shines His light into human hearts through the revelation of Yeshua the Messiah.

In 1 John 1:5-7, "God is Light." This is one of the strongest passages in the entire study. 1 John 1:5: "God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all." Think about that statement. John doesn't merely say God possesses light; He declares that God is light, and there is absolutely no darkness in Him. Then John continues in 1 John 1:6-7: "If we say that we have fellowship with Him," and this is very important for our Christian friends and Jewish friends, "and walk in darkness" (not the commandments, walk on our own way, replacement theology, doing our own thing), "we lie and do not practice the truth." Again, what is the truth? The truth is the Torah. Okay? It's Yeshua, of course, but it's the Torah as well. King David says the truth is the Torah. Okay? And also Moses, etc. That's why Yeshua said it in John 14. "But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another." Think about what He just said. Messiah Yeshua, Jesus, and walk in darkness, we lie and we do not practice the Torah, the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, that means to follow what He did, which is all of the feast days and all of the new moons, new months, and all of the commandments. We have fellowship with one another.

Notice how John connects light and darkness to the conduct of God's people. There's a distinction between claiming fellowship with God and walking in His light. This is closely related to John 3:19-21, where Yeshua explains that those who practice truth come to the light. What does practicing truth mean? I mean, how do we practice truth? Now, if one says, "Yes, of course, Yeshua is truth." Do we practice Yeshua? That doesn't even make any sense. We practice the Torah, the truth. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. And He said that because He's the living Torah for all people to know, to follow His Father's commandments. Okay? That's why He is called the living Torah. That's why He said, "I'm the Way, the Truth, and the Life," because King David said, "The Way, the Truth, and the Life is God's Torah." And Yeshua is going to sit on David's everlasting throne for a thousand years and forever, right? So, again, I would trust David and trust Yeshua together. We just have to understand they're together. You cannot separate the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, from Jesus. You just cannot. That would be blasphemy. That would be abomination. That would be heresy. And that would be very bad for someone to separate Yeshua from, because He is the Word of God. Okay? He is the Word. So, again, that's a different Jesus out there that people are talking about, because if one says that Jesus is against the Torah, boy howdy, that person has no clue, and they are in darkness. They are not in the light. Okay? We've got to understand He said, "I'm the Way, the Truth, and the Life" for a reason, because He is, and also because His Father's instructions are. Purification, refinement to walk like He did, because Yeshua walked accordingly to the Torah. And if He did not, then He would be eliminated from being the Jewish Messiah. Okay? That's pretty simple to understand. So, again, Christians, you don't have a choice. Pick up your cross and follow Him. And He followed His Father's instructions. And He's the light of the world. And whoever follows Him is the light. Whoever does not follow Him is dark. Okay? That is what these scriptures are truly telling us. And it's pretty fascinating. Okay, the connection. Genesis 1, God separates light from darkness. John 1, Yeshua is revealed as the light.

First John 1 states that God's people are called to walk in the light. If we do not walk in the light, we are not in the light. Revelation 21:22 says that God's servants dwell in His everlasting light in the eternal kingdom. John further develops this in 1 John 2:8-11. He states that the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. This verse is particularly significant because John describes darkness as something that is passing away, while the true light is already shining. This sounds remarkably similar to the movement towards the new creation described in Revelation 21:4, where the former things have passed away. John uses the language of "passing away" in both passages, although the immediate context differs. In 1 John, he is discussing the ethical and spiritual reality of living in the light. In Revelation, he describes the passing away of the former order. Nevertheless, both passages present God's light and life as overcoming the darkness associated with the present, fallen world.

In 1 John 2:9-10, John states, "He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in darkness until now. He who loves his brother abides in the light." So, John does not define walking in the light merely as understanding prophecy or possessing knowledge. Walking in the light is demonstrated through love, truth, and obedience. This goes back to the two greatest commandments: love God and love your neighbor. Yeshua said that all of the Torah hangs on loving God and loving your neighbor. He said there are only two commandments to worry about, and they will fulfill all the others. First, love God by following Him and doing exactly what He says, including the Sabbath, Passover, and everything in the Torah, just as Yeshua said. Second, love your neighbor. We cannot only love God if we do not love our neighbor. If we do not love our neighbor, we cannot love God. We must love both equally, and even love our enemy.

Therefore, my friends, love God by following the commandments, and love your neighbor by practicing the golden rule—doing unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is a phenomenal concept, especially when looking at the world today. The golden rule is the true justice of this world. It is a simple concept that most people understand, and it is being seen through many different avenues today. The golden rule is coming. So, we must understand that He is saying to walk in truth, walk in love, and walk in obedience. Amen and amen and amen. 1 Peter 2:9 calls us out of darkness into His marvelous light. "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." Peter describes God's people as those who have been called out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Notice the progression again. In Genesis, God separates light from darkness. In John, Yeshua brings the light into the world. In Peter, God calls a people out of darkness into that marvelous light. This is not merely a separation between two physical conditions; it is a spiritual transformation, a paradigm shift. Peter connects this with the identity of God's covenant people. Peter's language about a royal priesthood and a holy nation echoes Exodus 19:5-6, where God called Israel to be His special people, a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. Peter applies that covenant language to the community of believers in Messiah. The movement from darkness into light is therefore connected with God's purpose of establishing a holy people who proclaim His glory. We've discussed this on every new moon. Peter confirmed what Moses said. This concept of a kingdom of priests and a holy nation was found at Mount Sinai, in Exodus 19, because of the commandments.

It's related to the commandments in Exodus 20. In Exodus 19, God spoke about being a holy nation, a set-apart people, His own people. Then He goes on to say in verse 9 of Exodus 19 that He will make the people who believe Moses believe him forever. This means we will believe what Moses wrote about God's law forever, not just until the first or second coming. You can read that in Exodus 19:9. That is when the one new body and the one new man should have begun. We know how the story continued because there were Egyptians and Jews, Jews and Gentiles, crossing the Red Sea. I've said that before. Even Pharaoh's daughter passed through the Red Sea with them, the one who saved Moses. That's in 1 Chronicles 4. You can read it if you read it slowly; you will read that Pharaoh's daughter crossed over with them. So, the point is that He wants all of us to be the sons of the light, the daughters of the light, not of darkness, to follow Him, whether you are Jew or Gentile.

Because there is only one way to worship God, and that is in Exodus. Second Peter 1:19 states, "the day dawns and the morning star rises." This passage is especially interesting in connection with the Day of the Lord. Second Peter 1:19 says, "And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts." Look at Peter's language: "a light that shines in a dark place until the day dawns and the morning star rises." Peter connects prophetic revelation with light shining amid darkness. The imagery of the approaching dawn is particularly meaningful; it suggests movement from darkness towards the fullness of the day. Now, compare this with 1 Thessalonians 5. Paul calls believers children of the day and children of the light. Peter describes the prophetic word as a light shining until the day dawns.

Both passages connect light with spiritual understanding and the hope of what is coming. There is a beautiful progression across the scriptures here. Genesis 1: God creates the light. John 1: The light comes into the world. 1 John 1: God is light. 1 Peter 2: God calls His people out of darkness into the light. 1 Thessalonians 5: His people are children of light. Revelation 20: Judgment precedes the final new creation. Revelation 21: The Lamb is the light of the New Jerusalem. Revelation 22: There is no more night, and God's servants reign forever in the light by the light of the world, Yeshua the Messiah, and the glory of Yahweh. So, the God who separated light from darkness at creation is the same God who calls His people out of darkness through Yeshua and ultimately brings them into His everlasting light. The central message is: In Genesis, God separates light from darkness. In the Gospels, Yeshua reveals Himself as the light of the world.

In the Epistles, believers are identified as children of light rather than darkness. In Revelation, God's redeemed people dwell forever in His everlasting light. And the central thread connecting everything is Yeshua Himself. He is the Word through whom creation came into existence, the Light who entered the world, the One who delivers people from darkness, and the Lamp who illuminates the New Jerusalem. Amen. And amen and amen. Now, let's connect this to the Tree of Life. We are all familiar with the Tree of Life in Genesis 2 and also in Revelation 22. The Tree of Life first appears in Genesis 2:9 after Adam and Eve sinned. Genesis 3:22-24 describes their exclusion from access to the Tree of Life, with cherubim and a flaming sword guarding the way. But Revelation 22:14 describes the redeemed being granted access to that very Tree of Life. In Revelation, this is the final separation of light and darkness that we find from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22.

Verse 14 says, "Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the Tree of Life, and may enter through the gates into the city." Verse 15 says, "But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices a lie." Let's notice the contrast. In verse 14, those who enter have access to the Tree of Life and enter through the gates of the New Jerusalem; they are the ones who keep the commandments, just as verse 14 says. This is at the very back of the book, everybody, the last chapter of the Bible, Revelation 22. And Yeshua still tells everybody, "Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they are the ones who do the commandments to enter the Tree of Life or to take part of the Tree of Life and may enter through the gates into the city." But outside are the ones who are not doing the commandments: the dogs, the Gentiles, the sorcerers, witchcraft, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie or falsehood.

So, there is a great contrast, my friends, between those who have access to the Tree of Life and the New Jerusalem and those who remain outside. They are identified by their allegiance to evil, deception, and unrighteousness, and disobedience. This connects directly with the separation we've traced throughout the entire scriptures. Genesis 3:24: Access is guarded; humanity is expelled from Eden. Revelation 22:14: Access is restored to those who are keeping the commandments and believing in Yeshua the Messiah. The connection with Genesis 1 and John 3 is significant. In Genesis 1:4, God divides the light from the darkness. In Genesis 3:19-21, Yeshua explains that some people love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil, while those who practice truth or the Torah come to the light. In 1 John 1:5-7, John declares that God is light and calls believers to walk in that light. In 1 Thessalonians 5:4-5, Paul distinguishes between children of light and those who are in darkness.

Then, in Revelation 22:14-15, John describes the final separation or distinction between those who are granted entrance into the New Jerusalem and to partake of the Tree of Life, and those who are excluded from it. Again, let's read Revelation 22:14, at the very end of the Bible: "Blessed are those who do His commandments." What are His commandments? The Torah. "That they may enter through the gates of the city. But outside, here's the curse, are the dogs, the Gentiles, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters, and everyone or anyone who loves and practices a lie." So, my friends, there is a great separation that is coming between the light and the darkness. The redeemed enter the city and receive access to the Tree of Life. This is a beautiful symmetry. Genesis begins with the creation of light and eventually records humanity's expulsion from Eden. Revelation concludes with the everlasting light, the removal of the curse, and restored access to the Tree of Life.

The connection is particularly striking when we compare John 3:19 with Revelation 22:15. John 3:19 says, "Men love darkness rather than light," or men love disobedience rather than obedience. In Revelation, those outside include whoever loves and practices disobedience, falsehood, a lie. Both passages associate the rejection of God's truth with what people love and practice. Again, what is God's truth? We just read that in the book of John. When you practice truth, you don't practice Yeshua; you practice the Torah, is what it says. So, we have to use our common sense as well. Of course, Yeshua is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. But He said it for a reason: He is the living Torah. Because what we read earlier in John says, "When you practice the truth, what is the truth?" You can't say when you practice Yeshua; how can you practice Yeshua? You can practice what He did, of course, which is following the commandments.

And that's what He's saying: the truth is the Torah. Just like King David said, "The truth is the Torah. The way is the Torah. The life is the Torah." The law. And that's why Yeshua came. John 14:6: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." Well, goodness gracious. How do you come to the Father? Through Yeshua, through the Holy Spirit, and following the Father's commandments. To me, it's pretty simple to understand, but people do love their rebellious behavior, and that's why they're still in darkness, unfortunately. Now, let's go to John 14 and 15. These are two of the most amazing chapters in the New Testament and in the Holy Bible. If our Christian friends would go revisit John 14 and 15 and understand what He is truly saying about either following the commandments or it's going to be the gavel, because that person is in darkness if they're not following Yeshua's commandments, which are His Father's commandments.

If you read John 14 and 15, it's very clear that He says, "He and His Father are one." Ekad, one. What does that mean? They are one. So, His Father's commandments are His commandments. To me, that's pretty simple to understand. But we have too many rebellious Christians out there who do not want to follow the Father's commandments, and they are out of alignment and they are walking in darkness, or excuse me, they *are* darkness, as it says. Not walking in darkness; they *are* darkness if they are not keeping the commandments of God. So, again, that is very simple to understand when you read John 14 and 15. And that's why I hope someone can go revisit that. Whoever is provoked to do that, who might not believe what I'm saying, go read what your Master said in John 14 and 15, and many other passages, but just go to John 14 and 15, and He will be very clear with you on what you need to do and what I need to do to be children of the light and not of the darkness.

We are going to go through some of those scriptures right now. John 14 and 15: Abiding in the Light and Preparing for the Father's Kingdom. This is an interesting title because that's what these two chapters are about: abiding in the light by keeping the commandments and also preparing for the Father's kingdom. How do you prepare for the Father's kingdom? By doing what the Father says to do. That's the bottom line. And then Yeshua is going to confirm that. And yes, when we step out of alignment, we have the grace. We have the grace because we are trying to follow the commandments. So, to me, it's pretty simple: when you are in Yeshua and you are trying to follow the commandments, that's when you have the grace when you do mess up, when you do make a mistake or you make a boneheaded mistake or whatever, fall into temptation. But if it's just like, "Hey, I've got the grace to go break all the commandments, and I don't need to do anything to show Him I love Him at all because I just believe," James would say, "Your belief is dead." It is not by faith only.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that. He wants you to do your part. Can I go commit adultery because Jesus fulfilled it? Can I go murder somebody? Jesus fulfilled it. Of course not. You have to follow God and the commandments. And yes, He did fulfill it to establish it on this earth if you read the proper understanding of Matthew 5:17-20. And if He did not, He would not be the Jewish Messiah. That's very simple to understand. Why? Because Isaiah 2 and Micah 4 would tell you that. Isaiah 2 and Micah 4 are prerequisites of the Jewish Messiah when He returns. So, when He returns, what do Isaiah 2 and Micah 4 say He is going to do? He is going to send out the Torah, God's first five books of the Bible, to the nations from Zion. Everybody is going to get a heavy dose of the Father's commandments. And if they don't obey, then guess what? Go read Revelation 19. Strike the nations with a rod of iron, everybody.

So, please do not take this out of context because people love to take things out of context all the time when I say some things like this. But you're talking about a righteous, eternal dictatorship. His way or get out is what He is coming to do. And I don't think people really understand that. I think people just think it's all peace and love, "Ain't life grand? Lemon cakes and coffees and motivational speeches, and hey, we're good." No, you're not good. They are not good. They are walking, or excuse me, they *are* darkness, and they have got to get out of darkness. Because the time is very near. So, let's read John 14 and 15. I want to provoke you to read that for yourself, the entire chapter, both chapters, to get the full dose of it, instead of just me summarizing some of these things. Read all of it and read what the Master said before He went to the cross. So, why would He say this in John 14 and 15, to go get crucified so that the Christians can be disobedient to the Father?

That is ignorance, just to be nice about it tonight on the Sabbath. Why would He go to the cross then Christians can say, "Okay, I can just go do whatever, enjoy the world because Jesus paid the price"? No, He did not get crucified for all of our sins so that we can live in darkness, so that we are the darkness of the world. He did not do that. He got crucified for our sins so that we can inherit eternal life. Those who follow Him and His Father's commandments, that's it. That is the new covenant. That is Jeremiah 31: "I will put the Torah on your heart and in your mind." That is the new covenant. Of course, Yeshua's blood. Of course, that. But there is keeping the commandments. And we're about to read what the Master has said. John 14 and 15: Abiding in the Light and Preparing for the Father's Kingdom. John 14:1-3: "In my Father's house are many mansions or many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you.

I go to prepare a place for you." Yeshua continues by promising that He will come again and receive His disciples to Himself. Now, compare that with Revelation 21. Revelation 21:3: "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them." Look at what He just says here: "In my Father's house are many mansions." And then He goes on to say, or in Revelation 21:3, "Behold, the tabernacle of God, the mansion, the dwelling places of God, is with men, and He will dwell with them." So, John 14 contains Yeshua's promise that His followers will be with Him. Revelation 21 describes the ultimate fulfillment of God's dwelling with His people. The precise relationship between the Father's house and the New Jerusalem is interpreted differently, but the central promise is the same: God's people will dwell in His presence. John 14:6: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." Now, connect that with John 1:4.

"In Him was life, and the life was the light of men"—not darkness, light of men. In Revelation 22, verse 14, where the redeemed receive access to the Tree of Life, notice the progression. John 1: Life is in Yeshua. John 14: Yeshua is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Revelation 22: The redeemed receive access to the Tree of Life by Yeshua and following the commandments. The One who is the source of life is also the One through whom we approach the Father. John 14:15-24: Love and Obedience. John 14:15 says this, and it's a very simple statement to understand: "If you love Me, keep My commandments." So, again, we say this all the time because it's one of the most basic, simple statements in the Holy Bible that I can show someone about what Messiah Yeshua, the Son of God, thinks about His Father's commandments. And if they are His Father's commandments, they are His commandments. Because if you read John 14:15, it says, "He and His Father are one." They are not separated.

They are not any. No, they are one. They are in God. So, again, I don't know where Christians get off saying that "what are Yeshua's commandments?" Well, they are in the Father's commandments. They are separating the Father and the Son, which is totally bad, just to be nice about it. But yes, they are separating the Father and the Son because they are one. They are on the throne together. Follow His commandments if you want to be in the light, and if not, then don't. It's pretty simple. In John 14:21, Yeshua explains that the one who has and keeps His commandments is the one who loves Him. So, again, I can say all the time, "Chadwick, I love God. I love Jesus." Whatever. How does He know that I love Him? He knows if I love Him. If Chadwick loves me, he will keep my commandments. And if he does not, he won't keep them. Pretty simple. So, again, that's what He is truly saying to all of us here on this earth: If you love Yeshua—and all the Christians say yes—then you better follow His Father's commandments, because if not, according to the scriptures, that person is darkness, not light, darkness.

Not walking in darkness; they *are* darkness. That person is, from what Yeshua the Messiah says. And in John 14:21, Yeshua explains that the one who has and keeps His commandments is the one who loves Him. Then John 14:23 connects love and obedience with the Father and the Son making their home with the believer. Let me read that again: John 14:23 connects love and obedience with the Father and the Son making their home with the believer. So, why would the Father want to make His home with a Christian who's breaking His commandments? Why would they want to just take... why would the Father want to do that? If a Christian is just not celebrating the Sabbath, none of their life, no feast days, none of their life... I mean, why? Give me an answer to that. It says what it says, everybody. "You, the one who has and keeps my commandments, is the one who loves him." That's it. So, if a Christian believer is not a foolish virgin, is not keeping the commandments, then they are a foolish virgin, their believer with no oil in their lamps.

And that means they have no light because they have no oil. What is the oil? Torah. Have the Torah, you have light, because He is the light, and the Torah is the light, the way, and the truth. So, again, it all goes together very perfectly. We just have to have our hearts circumcised into obedience, because we have too many disobedient Christians out there. We have too many non-believing Jews out there that need to get it right because of what time it is. I love everybody, but goodness gracious, both sides, wake up and understand what is said in the Holy Bible when you look at it from Genesis to Revelation. But guess what? That's why they don't see it because they're not studying Genesis to Revelation. Judaism isn't, and Christianity isn't. So, both parties, how would they know? They don't believe in the other side, right? So, again, we have to come truly to Him through Yeshua, the blessed Holy Spirit, which is called the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of the Torah, the Spirit of Truth.

And He is going to lead you into that truth. So, there is a fake spirit out there, everybody, that's not leading you into the truth. That is the devil's spirit. There is a fake Holy Spirit out there as well, or a fake spirit out there as well, that is deceiving people. People think they're following the Holy Spirit; they're not. The Holy Spirit will lead you to the truth of God's word. Please understand what John 14:15 says. Please go revisit that. The Holy Spirit is not going to say anything different than the Father and the Son. We have to get educated and understand that that's what it is. What did the Father and the Son say? "The one who has and keeps His..." If you love Him, keep His commandments, His Father's commandments. If not, we don't. We have to really understand that's really the point blank. Compare these passages, my friends: John 14 and Revelation 22. John 14: The love for Yeshua is expressed through obedience to the commandments.

Revelation 22: The ones who enter Jerusalem are those who do His commandments, just as it says in Revelation 22:14. John 14: Fellowship with the Father and the Son. Revelation 22: God's servants dwell in His presence. John 14: Yeshua is the Life. Revelation 22: Access to the Tree of Life. And it's not just, "I believe in Jesus." No, the demons believe and they tremble. Please understand. So, I guess Christians need to start trembling who are not keeping the commandments. So, again, please revisit John 14 and John 15, my Christian friends. Read it slowly and understand what your Master is telling you to get in alignment or get out, is what He is saying. Obedience is not presented as a way to earn salvation independently of God's grace. Rather, John consistently describes love and obedience as inseparable expressions of genuine love and fellowship with Yeshua. "If you love Me, keep My commandments." Take His word for it.

"If you love Me, keep His commandments." What are His commandments? The Father's, the Torah, the Father's commandments. And if it's not, then you have people who have big problems with understanding theology and eschatology and how the Father and the Son are echad, or one. John 15:1-8: The Vine and the Branches. Now we come to another powerful connection. John 15:4: "Abide in Me, and I in you." Yeshua identifies Himself as the true vine and His Father as the vine dresser. His disciples are the branches. A branch cannot bear fruit unless it remains connected to the vine and the vine dresser. And neither can a disciple bear spiritual fruit apart from Yeshua. So, again, let me say something really quick. So, again, think about that, my friends. That's why, please go revisit John 14 and John 15. Very important. Look at what He says here. If we're connected to the vine, if we are the branches, He is the vine.

We're connected to Yeshua. Amen. We're also connected to the vine dresser, which is the Father. So, why is Christianity disrespecting the Father's commandments and dishonoring Him? Why? That's a question to ask Christianity. Why are you disrespecting the vine dresser? Go to John 15 and ask them that. Go ask your pastor that. Go ask your preacher that. Go ask your rabbi that, whoever that is. Why? Why are the Christians disregarding the vine dresser who has produced the vine, and we are the branches? Why? That's my question. Because again, if you're connected to Yeshua, you're connected to the Father. And then that makes it even more treacherous that they're not keeping the Father's commandments and they're connected to Yeshua. The Jewish people are keeping the commandments, but there's no Yeshua, so the same thing. They're darkness as well until they come to Yeshua. Christians are darkness as well until they start following the commandments.

So, again, this is very—no offense to people—but at the same time, that's what it says. It says what it says. And people love their rebellion. They love their uncircumcised heart. They love the world. They love everything in the world, and they don't even know the separation of the world. And God says, "Do not be in the world." Jews and Christians, and the world. You know, of course, God's people are always disobedient until He drops the gavel on all of us. And guess what, friends? It looks like the gavel is here, and it's only going to get worse. Not to be negative, but that's just reality, not the reality show that you see across these worldly leaders that we're seeing here today. So, obedience is not presented as a way to earn salvation independently of God's Yeshua's blood and His grace. Rather, John consistently describes love and obedience as inseparable expressions of genuine fellowship with our Master.

John 15:1-8: The Vine and the Branches. We've read through that again. If we're connected to the vine, we're connected to the vine dresser. Please, my Christian friends, whoever is out there doing this, quit disrespecting the Father. Quit disrespecting the vine dresser. Quit disrespecting the One who was, is, and who is to come, the Father, and of course the Son. Please, quit disrespecting the Father. And for the Jewish people, please quit disrespecting your Savior, your Master, your Messiah, your brother, your King, your Holy One of Israel. So, both parties have a lot of disrespect going on to God and His Son, to the vine and the vine dresser. The Christians and the Jews have a lot of disrespect and a lot of dishonor going up to heaven because of their behavior and their conduct and how they view either the Father's commandments (Christians) or Yeshua (the Jewish people). So, both parties, get ready, because that's why you're going to be put into the seven-year purification, not the seven-year tribulation.

Seven-year purification for Jews and Christians and whoever else that wants to be a part of the kingdom. So, it's called the Time of Jacob's Trouble. That's what it's really called, the last seven years of the age. They call it the seven-year tribulation period. Great. It's not really that. It's called the purification, and it will be tribulation, but it's more about the believers being purified because, look around, see what's going down with the believers. All right. So, let's be connected, my friends, to the vine and also to the vine dresser, please. The Connection with the Children of Light. Remember 1 Thessalonians 5:5: "You are all sons of light and sons of the day." Paul identifies who believers are: the light. Paul identifies who the sons of the light and sons of the day are, which are the ones who keep the times and the seasons. So, if you weren't with us before that, my friends, in 1 Thessalonians 5, it says, "There is no need that I should come to you about the times and the seasons, the calendar, and the feast days, because you yourselves know that the day comes as a thief in the night, the Day of the Lord." So, he's saying the ones who know the times and the seasons are the sons of the light, the sons of the day.

We understand what's going on. We know the Day of the Lord. We know how it's going to go down with the feast days and all of these things. Paul is identifying that with darkness and light. Light: the ones who do keep the commandments, or the times and the seasons, the calendar, the feast days, the Sabbath. And the ones who do not are darkness. Very hardcore stuff. Very hardcore stuff. But that's what the scriptures do say. And we are here to pronounce the truth of those scriptures to the best of our ability. Friends, please go study this light versus dark thing through these scriptures and make your own opinion about these things. But for me, it's very clear that He is separating creation, light and dark, and then people, light and dark. And that depends on their belief in Yeshua, the Holy Spirit, and following the commandments. And if not, that person is darkness. I was in darkness, or not.

I was not in darkness; I *was* darkness, as it says in the scriptures. So, again, we're not walking in darkness; we *are* darkness or we *are* light. One or the other. Wise or foolish. One or the other. Hot or cold, one or the other, not lukewarm—spit you out of His mouth. Good or evil. All throughout the Bible, it makes a distinction one way or the other. There's no gray or hedging my bets or none of this stuff. No, it's either get in or get out, is what He said. Hot or cold, good or evil, wise or foolish, light or dark in this circumstance. So, all throughout the Bible, from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22, there's a separation of light and dark depending on loving God and keeping His commandments. It's very important, my friends. As we all know, you are all sons of light and sons of the day. Paul identifies who the sons of the light and sons of the day are. John 15 explains how disciples must live: remaining in Yeshua, keeping His Father's commandments, and bearing fruit.

1 John 1:7 calls believers to walk in the light. These passages complement one another. Being a child of light is not simply a prophetic identity; it involves an ongoing relationship with Messiah and the Father that produces visible spiritual fruit. John 15:6: The branches that do not abide. This is where the separation theme becomes especially clear. John 15:6: "If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered." How do you not abide in Him? Well, if you read John 14:15, read it for yourself: keeping the commandments, keeping God's commandments, you will abide in Him. And then anything that you ask, you will receive because you are in alignment with the Father. So, again, if we read it, and if we have time, we'll read it together throughout John 14 and 15 together. And it's just a really beautiful piece of scripture that people really need to understand. That is really theology.

John 14 and 15, in two chapters, you can find your theology as a Christian of what you should be doing. And that is following Yeshua. And what did He do? And He had to do, and He must do, to be the Jewish Messiah, He had to follow the Father's commandments. Do you think He's going to send a rogue son, a prodigal son, down here? Of course not. Of course not. He's going to follow the Father's commandments. Please read John 14 and 15 for that confirmation. "If anyone does not abide in Me"—not follow My commandments, do a different route, be rogue, start a new religion, and all this stuff—"he is cast out as a branch and is withered." Yeshua then describes the branches being gathered and thrown into the fire. Compare this with the separation passages we've been studying. John 3:19-21: Those who love darkness refuse the light. John 15:6: Those who do not abide in Yeshua are pictured as branches removed from the vine.

Revelation 21:27: Nothing that defiles enters the New Jerusalem. Revelation: Those who enter the city are the ones who keep the commandments of God, contrasted with those who are excluded because they are not keeping the commandments of God. Please again, read that for yourself. These passages are not identical descriptions of the same event, but they share a theological distinction between genuine fellowship with God, true fellowship with God, and separation from Him, which is false fellowship with God, a vain relationship. Because in Mark 7, He is talking to the Jewish leadership, the Pharisees and the Sadducees and all these people. And the disciples did not wash their hands before they ate. So, the Pharisees and the Sadducees had a problem with that. And what did Yeshua tell them? We all know what He told them. But He said this: "You keep the traditions of men over God's commandments." You know, you replace it.

You place your oral traditions over God's commandments. So, He wasn't just talking about washing hands. He says, "You keep your traditions of men over the commandments of God." So, He's not just talking about washing hands. He's talking about any oral tradition that is overriding the commandments of God. That's why He said what He said in Matthew 23. What did He say in Matthew 23:1? "Whenever they sit in Moses' seat," Yeshua says this in Matthew 23, "listen to them and do everything they say because you're following the Torah." But when they do not, and they teach you the Talmud, they teach you Kabbalah, they teach you Mishna, they teach you whatever, don't listen to them because serpents, vipers, hypocrites." I don't say that; He said that. So, please go read Matthew 23 if one is offended by what the Messiah said, because that's what He said. When the Jewish people teach you the Torah, He says, basically the Jewish leadership, listen to them and follow the Torah.

But when they start talking all this other stuff, don't listen to them because they're hypocrites, serpents, vipers. He says that seven times, everybody. Seven times. Spiritual perfection, by the way. That's why He said it seven times. So, again, we have to understand, very important for the Jewish people and the Christians to believe in Yeshua and follow the commandments. It's a very simple concept to understand in Genesis 1 through Revelation 22. If one has the proper heart position, if one is circumcised in the heart to receive this. And unfortunately, from what I see today, we have a lot of our Jewish friends and a lot of our Christian friends that they don't have a circumcised heart. They want to do their thing in Judaism. They want to do their thing in Christianity. And okay, how's that going for everybody? I don't think too good, but okay, that's just my personal opinion. But we're going to find out who loves God.

We're going to find out who loves Yeshua. We're going to find out who loves the commandments as we continue down this road to the very end of the age. We're going to find out, and everybody's going to hold on to their religion and their guns. Go right ahead, and you're going to see what happens with that. These passages are not identical descriptions of the same event, but they share a theological distinction or difference or separation between genuine fellowship and love of God and separation from Him, which is darkness. John 15:9-17: Abiding in His Love. Yeshua continues, John 15:10: "If you keep My commandments, that's a big 'if.' If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love." Isn't that beautiful? So, again, a very simple statement, not complex, not a bunch of commas that you have to break down. "If you keep my commandments, Chadwick keeps my commandments, he will abide in my love.

If Chadwick does not keep my commandments, he will not abide in my love." So, again, it's very simple to understand what Yeshua said. If one loves God and Yeshua and the Holy Spirit, if one loves His commandments, His statutes, His ordinances, if one loves the way that He is—why do I say that? That's who He is. That's who the God of Israel is. That's who the Almighty is. That's who Yeshua is: His commandments. He's breathed them out of His mouth, His holy, sovereign, divine, righteous mouth. I mean, how dare anyone say that His commandments are done away with? That is absolutely an abomination, heresy, and blasphemy for anybody to say that the Father's commandments are done away with. And Christians, no, I'm not talking about sacrificing animals because that's the only thing that people can think of when you think about the Torah in Christianity is sacrificing. That's how deceived these people are.

So, no, keep His commandments, or you do not abide in Yeshua's love. Why? Because John 14:15, He and the Father are one. He was the One on Mount Sinai who spoke them out to Moses. Yeshua did. Do you think He's going to go against that now? Go, please go read it, and let's get educated. Exodus 24: The 70 elders, Joshua, Moses, they saw the God of Israel. No one has ever seen God's face. So, who did they see? Yeshua Messiah. Messiah says in John 8, "Before Abraham was, I am." When He says "I am," most Jewish people would understand He's saying that He is God. Going back to Exodus 3:14, "I am." Well, if He's "I am," and He's the Word made flesh, and He was in the beginning with God, and He's the fire by night, the cloud by day, from Egypt to Mount Sinai, what do you think He did? Just went back up to heaven and said, "You know what? Okay, y'all got it down here. Moses, you got it." No, He stayed with them.

Fire by night, cloud by day, and the rock, the water from the rock, all of these things. And He was on Mount Sinai explaining these things to Moses because no one has ever seen God's face. Even Moses didn't see God's glory. Remember what he said in Exodus 34? "I will show you my goodness, Moses, but no one can see my glory." And He showed him His back. So, that kind of makes the point that Yeshua was on Mount Sinai, the Word made flesh, to speak out the Word to Moses. It's kind of like the opposite of the transfiguration. Remember when Yeshua went up on the Mount of Transfiguration with Peter, John, and James, and it was on the Feast of Tabernacles? "I'm going to build booths for Elijah, you, and Moses." And He was up there talking to Elijah and Moses. So, it's just the reverse, everybody. Moses and Elijah were talking to Yeshua in the Gospels, 2,000 years ago. And then at Mount Sinai, Yeshua was explaining the Word of God to Moses to explain to the people, the Word made flesh.

Anytime there was a divine appointment on this earth, Yeshua was here on this earth. Please, Joshua 5: "The Commander of the Lord's armies." Who is that? Yeshua. Revelation 19: "The Commander of the Lord's armies." So, we have to understand Yeshua manifested Himself to the people whenever God wanted Him to, the Father wanted Him to. So, Exodus 24, please go back and read that, or go back and read the story of Exodus from the fire by night, the cloud by day. All Christians know that was Jesus. Well, Jesus was on Mount Sinai as well. Tell them, Moses, the Word of God, the Word made flesh, the Advocate, the Mediator between heaven and earth. Who is that? That's Yeshua. So, we have to understand this because, again, Christians don't think that Yeshua's commandments are the Father's commandments, which I'm not sure what they're reading. They need to go back and read Genesis to Revelation to get the proper understanding, to read the New Testament, to read the Gospel accounts, to read the Apostle Paul.

I mean, how in the world can you read the New Testament if you don't know the original revelation of the Torah, the Prophets, and the Psalms? It's not called the Old Testament. I mean, that is, in my mind, absolutely a disgrace to say. It's not old; it's living. It's righteous. It's divine. It's sovereign. It's right now. And it's forever, the Word of Elohim. And who in the world has the authority to say that the Word of God is done away with? Anybody? I don't think so. Not even Yeshua, not even Paul, no one had the ability to tell the Father His commandments are done away with. Goodness gracious. I mean, where have we gone with theology? This is simple to understand if you just read the Holy Bible. So, again, Christianity is way off with following the Father. Judaism is way off by following the Son. You can't follow one or the other. You have to follow both because they're echad. They're one.

Follow one, if that makes sense. As we continue forward, if you love Me. Amen. And amen. So now let's bring in 1 John 2:9-10. John explains that the person who loves his brother abides in the light, while the person who hates his brother remains in darkness. This is a direct connection. John 15 teaches abiding in Messiah's love. First John teaches abiding in the light through love. And Revelation 22 describes the final dwelling place of God's redeemed servants in His presence. There is a consistent relationship between love, obedience, fellowship, and eternal life, my friends. John 15:18-2: The world hates those who belong to Yeshua, truly to Yeshua.

John 15:19 states, "Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." If you are popular and have many friends in the world, you should revisit Yeshua's words, as He spoke them for a reason. If you are not facing persecution or hatred, and your life is consistently easy, you might question if you are fulfilling God's will. Life will not always be pleasant; there will be persecution.

The scriptures say that if the prophets were persecuted before you, you will be as well. If you are following God's commandments and doing His will, you will face persecution. This is not negativity; it's simply the truth. We are not greater than the Master. If the Master was persecuted, we will be too. If the prophets were persecuted, we will be persecuted. Following God's commandments and fulfilling your role in His kingdom, whatever your spiritual gifts or purpose, is what matters. If we are not following Him, we are darkness.

This connects with John 3:19, where people love darkness rather than light. It also relates to 1 John 3:13-14, where John warns believers not to be surprised if the world hates them and emphasizes love for fellow believers. This highlights the distinction between those who belong to Messiah and a world that rejects Him. However, this does not mean we should hate the world, but rather overcome evil with good. John 3:16 teaches that God loved the world, and Yeshua commands His disciples to love one another, including their enemies.

To be a child of light means more than just saying the right words, false worship, or recognizing prophetic signs. It means knowing Yeshua, loving Him, keeping His commandments, abiding in Him, loving one another, and bearing fruit. In Genesis, John states that Yeshua brought light into the world. In John 14:15, He teaches His disciples how to remain in fellowship with Him by following His Father's commandments.

Believers are instructed in 1 John to walk in the light. If we are not following the commandments, how can we walk in the light? We must walk in the light by following the commandments of Yahweh and Yeshua. In 1 Thessalonians 5, believers are called children of light as they await the day of the Lord. In Revelation 21:22, God's redeemed servants dwell eternally in His light.

In John 12:36, Yeshua says, "While you still have the light, believe in the light that you may become sons of the light." This directly links John 1 with 1 Thessalonians 5:5. Yeshua speaks of becoming sons of light, and Paul later identifies believers as sons of light and sons of the day who keep the times and seasons and understand these things, and keep the commandments.

In conclusion, the light is revealed, people are called to believe in the light, disciples are instructed to abide in the light, and the redeemed ultimately dwell in His everlasting light. The light is revealed; people are called to believe in the light; disciples are commanded and instructed to abide in that light and in Him; and the redeemed ultimately dwell in His everlasting light in the new Jerusalem.

Matthew 5:14-16 concludes this section: "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden, nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."

You are the light of the world if you keep the commandments, follow Yeshua, and are led by the Holy Spirit. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. A lamp is placed on a lampstand, not under a basket, to give light to all in the house. Let your light shine before men so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

To glorify our Father in heaven, we must believe in Him and His Son, Yeshua the Messiah, and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Then, we follow His commandments and enter His kingdom by following His ways. Christians need to understand that these are His ways, who He is.

In the millennial kingdom, we will not be celebrating Christmas, Easter, or Sunday Sabbath. These will be left behind. You will never see a Christmas tree, an Easter egg, or those false celebrations again. You will not observe the Sunday Sabbath established by Constantine. Only the commandments of the Torah will remain. He is not sending out the prophets and psalms in the New Testament during the millennial kingdom. Isaiah and Micah state that He will only send out the Torah, the word of God. He is not sending out the prophets, the psalms, or the New Testament because the Savior and the King of Israel will be on earth, sending out His Father's commandments so that the earth can become more holy by following them.

We cannot glorify our Father in heaven unless we follow His commandments through Yeshua Messiah and the blessed Holy Spirit. It all works together. Please reread John 14 and 15 to see what Yeshua said about Him and His Father being one and the necessity of following His commandments to abide in Him.

Many people take this theology too lightly, believing they have grace to break the Father's commandments every week or during festivals. This is not true. You do not have grace to break His commandments. You must follow His ways, not paganism or the traditions of Constantine and the church.

Jewish people often follow the Talmud, Kabbalah, and Mishna, rather than the Torah. This is why Yeshua confronted them. He would confront both Jews and Christians today for their behavior. Wait until the witnesses come down, and you will see what they will say. They will not say, "Good job, Judaism" or "Good job, Christianity." Revelation 11 details what they will do because of the behavior of Israel and the nations.

All parties, with no partiality, need to wake up. Jews and Christians, especially, have the Holy Bible but are not following it. It is pathetic that after 6,000 years, we have not gotten it right. We need the Savior. It is shameful that God's people have not followed Genesis to Revelation and do not comprehend it or have the posture of love for it.

Out of 8 billion people, two billion Christians are deceived and walking in darkness. Two billion Muslims are also deceived. That's four billion people not following Genesis to Revelation. The Jewish people, numbering around 18 to 30 million, are also not following it. The world, including religions like Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and others, is what God refers to.

We must understand that following His commandments is a commanded thing. Please read John 14 and 15 for yourself and understand that the Holy Spirit leads to truth, which is Yeshua and the Torah. The Torah is the truth, the ways of God. Almighty God breathed out the universe, its ordinances, commandments, and statutes.

Mankind believes that because Yeshua was crucified and resurrected for our sins, they can act and worship as they please. This is craziness. Obedience is better than sacrifice. Heeding the Lord is better than fatted rams. Rebellion is the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is the sin of idolatry. Many Christians are involved in witchcraft through rebellion and not following God's commandments. I was once in witchcraft and rebellious.

Stiff-neckedness or stubbornness is equivalent to idolatry. According to the prophet Samuel, Jews and Christians are in witchcraft due to rebellion and idolatry. Please digest 1 Samuel 15:22-24.

Time is near. The situation in the Middle East will not simmer down. God will turn them over to their hatred by bringing Nebuchadnezzar again. It is time to search out our faith, theology, and eschatology to ensure we are light and not darkness.

If you do not follow God's commandments, you are darkness. If you follow His commandments and believe in Yeshua and the Holy Spirit, you are of the light. This should make us tremble, as we all need to do better. If our heart is circumcised to do better and we are already following the commandments, trying our best with morality, sexual purity, and avoiding drugs and alcohol, that is where grace comes in. But you must be on the Sabbath and observe the appointed times. If not, you are straddling the fence, and the decision is His.

If one is not following the Father's commandments, that person is darkness, not living in darkness. The scriptures state the person *is* darkness. If you follow the commandments, believe in Yeshua, and have the blessed Holy Spirit, you are the light. Stay in the light and stay salty.

This message comes from the Torah portion read last week. When you read a scripture that hits you directly, it's impactful. The difference between light and dark is a creation difference and a people difference. Just believing in God or Yeshua is not enough; you must follow Him. Demons believe and tremble. Your works and deeds are what earn your crown, not just faith. Revelation states rewards are given for works and deeds, which must be holy, righteous, and aligned with Him. This includes following His holy days: Sabbath, Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Shavuot, Trumpets, Yom Kippur, and Tabernacles, as well as other appointed times like the ninth of Av, the seventeenth of Tammuz, and the tenth of Tevet.

Yeshua celebrated these. Pick up your cross and follow Him. It is not a "Jewish thing"; He was Jewish and is returning as the Jewish King. He expects everyone to align with His Father. If He did not, He would not be the Jewish Messiah. Christians would not attend church if they understood the prerequisites of Yeshua being the Jewish Messiah.

People need to get serious about their faith and read Genesis to Revelation for themselves, understanding how to read the Bible. These religions are darkness. Judaism is darkness because they do not believe in Yeshua. Christianity is darkness because they do not follow the correct commandments, such as the Sabbath, and have no correct ways of worship. Sunday Sabbath, Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Valentine's Day—everything on the Roman calendar is not kosher. There is not one correct way they worship.

If this offends you, then stay offended and search it out for yourself. If you are not keeping the commandments, the scriptures say you are in darkness, not living in darkness. You *are* darkness. Review the video for the specific scripture.

This is hardcore, but God is hardcore and consistent with His commandments from Genesis to Revelation. Christian friends, read John from your own perspective, not just what your preacher tells you. Jewish friends, read it for yourselves and gain a different perspective than your rabbi.

Everyone needs to check themselves to ensure alignment. There is no middle ground or straddling the fence. The Bible speaks of separation: light and dark, wise and foolish virgins, good and evil servants, hot or cold. There is no gray area.

You can preach grace all you want, but if you are not following the commandments, you will not have the grace to break them every Sabbath or Passover. Replacing the crucifixion with bunny rabbits is darkness. Christmas is darkness. Sunday Sabbath is darkness. Anything not of God is darkness because He is light.

Focus on the Father, just as Yeshua did. Christians are not reading the gospel accounts; they are going to church for motivational speeches and living in the world. Until they act according to the Bible, they are not Christians or believers. A believer in Yahweh and Yeshua follows Him, the light, not darkness. If you love Him, you will keep His commandments; if not, you won't.

This message is delivered in love, but it is straightforward. The connections from Genesis to Revelation are amazing. If things don't connect, there's a problem with how we're interpreting them. Genesis to Revelation is one cohesive message. Eat all of it or none of it. We must have our hearts in the right position to stand before the King of Israel.

If you stood before Him now, would He say, "Get away from me, I never knew you," or "Well done, good and faithful servant"? It will be one or the other. Yeshua said this. People need to revisit what He realistically said, not just the "light stuff" heard in church. He was straightforward.

On His thigh in Revelation 19, if the Torah is done away with, what is written? The word of God, the Torah. What does He send out to the nations for a thousand years? The Torah, His Father's commandments, because it is a prerequisite. We must educate ourselves so we do not look foolish, like foolish virgins thinking everything is great when it is not. Many people are darkness and do not realize it due to false theology.

People need to read their Bibles more and understand them themselves. The Holy Spirit will lead you; you don't need a preacher, pastor, or synagogue. You need the Holy Spirit. Others can offer insight, but we must all be obedient to Yeshua and Yahweh.

Christianity needs to show more respect, honor, and reverence to our Father in heaven, just as Yeshua, their Savior, said. They need reverence for the Father's commandments. Any religion that tells you not to follow God's commandments is a false church, preacher, or whatever.

Deuteronomy 13 speaks of false prophets. Even if someone performs miracles or heals, if they lead you away from God's commandments, do not follow them. Yeshua said, "Many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? And in your name cast out demons? And in your name done many wonderful works?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness!'" This refers to the Torah, His law.

Think about standing before the King of Israel. Your preacher, pastor, or family won't be there; it will be you and Him. He will say, "Depart from me, you who do not practice my Father's commandments," or "you who practice lawlessness." It is His Father's commandments. Pray about this and read the Bible.

Those who want to be disobedient all their lives are darkness. Obedience is light; disobedience is darkness. It's simple.

I come to you in love, but this is serious. We can all see this if we have a circumcised heart. Those who are not following the light need to follow it, as Yeshua said. What did He do? Did He start Christianity? Did He start new festivals or a new religion? He would have been a false messiah if He did. He told everyone to follow the Father's commandments, which is a prerequisite for the Jewish Messiah.

There is no way out for Christians. You cannot believe in Jesus, live in the world, and celebrate like pagans and expect to be in the light. You are darkness. You must get into the light and follow Him. Sabbath, new moon, and feast days, along with morality, are necessary to be in the light. Otherwise, we are darkness.

Shabbat Shalom. Rest in the Lord. May this message help us to be more circumcised in our hearts and in the Lord.

For my personality, I am either all in or all out. For 38 years, I was all in the world, in darkness. Then I came to the light of Yeshua and His commandments and the Father's commandments. There is a huge difference between following Yeshua and the commandments and Christianity. It is a totally different deal. Even Judaism is different.

I experienced Christianity for 38 years and the true ways of God for almost 12 years. Christianity is a false religion because it does not follow the Father's commandments. No one has the authority to discard the Father's commandments. Yeshua did not have that authority; He confirmed He came to fulfill them, not abolish them.

Many rebellious Christians want to have their cake and eat it too, wanting the world now and eternal life. You must choose one: the world now or eternal life. For 38 years, I chose the world. I have not been perfect since being born again, but it has been a purification process. I will never arrive until I am glorified.

The commandments of God, Yeshua, and the Holy Spirit will bring about this continuing process. The Spirit of truth leads to all truth, which is the Torah. When we make that paradigm shift from paganism and darkness to the light and true ways of God, it is amazing how deceived we have been by religions like Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam. Their celebrations are also fake.

We have not had the spirit within us to search out the truth or the convictions to do so. But those days are ending. God is about to shake heaven and earth, and Jews, Christians, and Muslims will wonder what is happening. The witnesses will come down and declare that everyone is crazy.

The Middle East and the world have a long journey ahead. God is trying to get everyone's attention, especially Americans. Americans need to wake up to what is coming, which will be worse than the Great Depression. Economists and generals confirm this, aligning with biblical prophecy. Trust the prophets over politicians.

America is in a vice, and it will only get worse. This is because God loves us and is judging America for turning its back on Him. The country is like Babylon and Sodom and Gomorrah. God's judgment is a sign of His love.

America is manipulating everything, and it will all come down. The $40 trillion debt and borrowing money to pay interest is unsustainable. This is not just about the current administration but all of them. Republicans and Democrats have put America in a position where citizens will experience what others have struggled with. America has not understood the position it has put other countries in. The golden rule will come back on us.

America has been a tyrannical empire, and that will come back on the people, not the politicians. Politicians will be fine, but will you be? Politicians are bringing America to a very bad spot. This country will be humbled, which is a good thing. Forget American empire and pride; focus on salvation.

There are many people in darkness, but also many in light, following the commandments. However, many Christians are darkness because they do not follow the commandments. Many Jewish people are darkness because they do not believe in Yeshua. This is biblical, but people dislike hearing it.

If you are doing your part, who cares what people think? You will be called anti-everything for speaking the truth. People have no clue what the Bible says. Everyone is caught up in idolatry of America and the state of Israel, not the God and King of Israel.

God is about to shake the world. Look at Europe and its leaders; they need to be removed. The European leaders have let Europe decline, and this will spread to America, including the influence of Islamists being elected. Jewish friends in New York and Michigan need to wake up to the threat of Islamists. Jeremiah 16 speaks of hunters.

The hunters are coming because of the behavior of Jews and Christians. Islam is here and will remain until Yeshua deals with it. God is using Islam, just as He used Nebuchadnezzar, to get the attention of Christians and Jews.

When Jerusalem is breached, it signifies that the Jewish people are out of alignment. God promised to keep enemies away if they obeyed Him. If they disobey, He will bring enemies against them. Israel has been breached by Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, and Iran.

If you know the Bible, help Jewish friends understand they have been breached and are out of alignment. Israel has been breached from north to south, east to west. This means they are out of alignment according to Moses.

The land of Israel is desecrated with innocent blood, mosques, Christmas trees, broken Sabbaths and shemitahs, and a lack of love for neighbors and enemies. God is breaching them so they will wake up and repent because He loves them.

America, you're not winning any wars. You haven't won a war since World War II. I will give America credit for winning against Saddam Hussein in 1991 with General Schwarzkopf. He took care of business. That's when we had real generals running the show. George H.W. Bush knew what he was doing with the situation in 1991. He fought wars and knew what it took to win.

The last three presidents did not fight in a war. Trump dodged the draft six times. Joe Biden did not serve in the military. Barack Obama did not serve in the military. They don't understand war at all, and that's the problem. George W. Bush was in the military, but I don't think he served in wartime. These four presidents put us in a bad position because they don't understand war and aren't listening to the generals who do. They are on the sidelines because of politics.

This is happening in the Middle East, Europe, and all over the world. Everyone is struggling tremendously because this is the time when God will shake the heavens and the earth. He is starting to do this, and we haven't seen anything yet, according to the Book of Revelation and the biblical prophets in the Tanakh.

Especially in the Middle East, the people, including Israel, need to understand that the worst time in human history is coming. Yeshua says this in Matthew 24. It will be worse than Nebuchadnezzar's time. A Nebuchadnezzar-like figure will rampage across the Middle East, affecting everyone, including Judah.

People's pride and egos in America and the state of Israel are sky-high. What goes up will come down, and pride will go before the fall. The two countries I love, America and Israel, are facing this. People think my criticism is not love, but it is. It's a call to wake up. If you don't wake up, you will face what the biblical prophets foretold.

I'm not sure if people are reading the prophets. Are we reading the prophets and understanding where we are as a government in America? No. As for Israel's government, I can't say for sure, but I think they are trying to bring in the Messiah. They will be surprised because the Messiah is not coming right now; Nebuchadnezzar is.

The Messiah is not coming for at least nine years. We know this because we know the times and the seasons. The last seven years of the age will be on the Shmita cycle. This is where the seven-year tribulation comes from. Daniel's 70th week will be a seven-year Shmita cycle. If we don't understand the Shmita cycle, we won't understand the times and seasons. God created the calendar for times, seasons, days, and years in Genesis 1:14. This includes the Shmita year and the Jubilee year, not man-made calendars. He is talking about His calendar and His seven-year cycles since Adam.

We are three years from the next Shmita cycle beginning. From the Feast of Trumpets in 2026 to the Feast of Trumpets in 2029, the new seven years will begin. These next three years are very important for that seven-year period. So, we have three years and then seven years before Yeshua could return.

If the Middle East situation continues as it is, we must keep watching. This is not predicting; it's about knowing the times and seasons. I don't know if the tribulation will be in three years. But if it continues like this, and if Turkey gets involved soon, you could be stepping into the last seven years. If not, it will be another seven years.

Watch the nation of Turkey because when they get involved, and I believe they are, President Trump should get Erdogan involved so America can get out of this. I've said this before: President Trump should get his political friend Erdogan involved because they are border neighbors. According to biblical prophecy, Turkey will rock Iran. That's why America and Israel are not rocking Iran; God said Turkey will rock Iran after Iran becomes great. America and Israel have made everyone understand that Iran is pretty great right now, firing missiles northward, westward, and southward, and no one can stop them. The Houthi rebels, an Iranian proxy, are doing the same.

Just watch what's going on. We are in a bad position. We will see what the Trump administration and the Netanyahu administration decide to do. From what I'm hearing, they might do a three-day bombing campaign. Trump could go on a bombing campaign with the MOAB and other heavy equipment, which generals say won't do anything. He might call it victory and come home. If he does that, I think it's good, not the bombing itself. But call it victory and bring us home. That's all that matters. He can talk all he wants, but just bring our ships, money, people, and weapons back home. This is going for judgment, and that's where America is right now.

There's a scripture in Genesis 12 that people follow: "Bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you." This is what many people go by when talking about America supporting Israel. Let's look at the blessing and the curses. How do we bless Israel? Do we bless them? How do we bless the state of Israel and the people of Israel? We love the Jewish people, we stand with them, with the Abrahamic covenant, and the promises of God, against anti-Semitism. The ultimate blessing is Yeshua, the Messiah. They might not like that, but that is your job in the Great Commission. Blessing Israel is not sending them weapons and money to blow everyone up; that is cursing Israel.

Go read Jeremiah 2, Isaiah 30-31, and Hosea 4 and 5. God was against Israel for seeking military assistance from foreign nations. God judged Israel for going to foreign nations for military assistance. I've said this over and over so people can understand. You'll be called anti-everything if you say this. But bless those who bless you, curse those who curse you. We are not blessing Israel. How are we blessing Israel? Over $40 trillion in debt. You think that's blessing Israel? You think we're blessed for blessing Israel with all these bombs and weapons? No. People don't understand. They cherry-pick one scripture and don't understand what God told the prophets. They don't understand because they only take that one scripture.

It never says bless them with weapons and all this stuff. It says to love them, support them, feed them, clothe them, as Matthew 25 says. It never says to load them up for Armageddon with weapons of mass destruction. Hosea doesn't say that. In fact, God judged Israel for that.

Let me say that again. In the days of the prophets, especially Jeremiah, he tried to get Judah to repent for 23 years, but they would not. They went down to Egypt for military assistance when Nebuchadnezzar came against them the first time. Nebuchadnezzar came against them three times. The first time, they went to Egypt, begging for salvation. God's word is: "I will not breach you if you obey me. But if you don't obey me, I will breach you with your enemies."

Israel went to Egypt for weapons, and the northern kingdom went to Assyria for weapons. What did God do? Read Jeremiah 46 and Jeremiah 25. God raised up Nebuchadnezzar from Babylon to beat Assyria and Egypt at the same time. This is not in today's world; this was back then. For Babylon to beat Assyria and Egypt at the Battle of Carchemish at the same time shows that when God's favor is on you, no one can stand in your way. These were two previous great empires, Egypt and Assyria. Nebuchadnezzar defeated them because God had to remove Israel's idols used for military assistance from Egypt and Assyria so He could judge Judah, which Nebuchadnezzar did.

We need to understand how God deals with the Jewish people. This is not a popular statement, but the truth is the truth. History is history. Benjamin Netanyahu, for over 20 years in power, has come to America begging for weapons and money. This is against what God wants because the scriptures say He is the commander of Israel's armies, not Benjamin Netanyahu. Until they call on Yeshua, they will not win anything. They keep calling on America, and we are going bankrupt. Saudi Arabia calls on America for help against the Houthis. Egypt, America, Jordan – please help us. Take care of your own business. America, get your money, weapons, and people out of there. Let these people fight each other. Why are we wasting soldiers' lives, money, and weapons getting involved? Because the United States of America has armed the Middle East for Armageddon. If that's our allotment before the sheep or goat nation, what a resume: "Lord, we armed everybody over in the Middle East, including the enemies of Israel."

We have bipolar schizophrenic politicians. America has a bipolar relationship with Israel. The government supports Israel, then gives weapons to Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and Turkey – enemies of Israel. This makes no sense. "Bless those who bless you, curse those who curse you" is not a simple statement. You have to read how to bless and curse Israel. Right now, America is cursing Israel and itself because of Isaiah 30 and 31, especially Isaiah 31. The prophet says, "Israel, you and your lover will be destroyed." They were destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar.

Everyone loves the prophets, Isaiah 7, 9, 53. Take all of Isaiah or none of it. We need to understand that America is out of alignment by giving munitions and weapons to Israel. God wants them to call on Him. That's why Israel, with one of the greatest militaries in the world, has not been able to beat Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, or anyone else. You will not beat Iran either.

I don't understand the pride and ego because people are ignorant of biblical scriptures. America is cursing our Jewish friends, not blessing them. You don't bless Israel by loading them up with weapons and money when God says to call on Him. Do you think He needs America? American Christians need to get themselves together. This is idolatry of America, Babylon. He doesn't need Babylon or America to stand in the way of what He's going to do. He won't share His credit or glory with anyone, including the United States. Christians need to get out of their idolatry of this country. This country is going for judgment for what we've done in the Middle East and with Israel, because we have cursed them by making them rely on us instead of Him, Yeshua. Until they call on Yeshua, they will not win anything.

Why would God want Israel to repent and turn to Yeshua, the King of Israel, and then give them a victory over Iran to make their pride even higher? That's why you're not seeing victories for Israel or America in 25 years. Losers everywhere. Donald Trump calls people losers. He's a loser on this. George Bush, Obama, Biden – four presidents are losers because of what they've done in the Middle East. And guess what, Americans? It's coming back to you. You might not see it, but the spiritual golden rule is coming back. America has invaded many countries illegally. That's who America is. Our southern border has been illegally crossed. Golden rule, everyone. Blame it on whoever you want. You've done it over there; it's coming to you.

We've caused a lot of refugee problems in the Middle East – tens of millions of Syrians, Iraqis. Good old America did that to the civilian population. Look at our refugee problem, our homeless problem, how many people are not living in homes, living on the streets. The golden rule is coming, and you haven't seen anything yet. In real estate, wait and see what's coming to the housing market. I don't say that lightly, as many people will be homeless and in bad shape. But the golden rule, everyone. I'm trying to wake people up to understand and get a hold of their politicians to stop doing this crap across seas because it's coming back to our shores.

We've created government anarchy over there. Look at this government, all of them. Republican, Democrat, Obama – every one of them. Look at the disgrace our government is. We've caused civilian unrest over there. Look at the civilian unrest we have now with protests. We've caused racial wars, and now look at what you have here with racial wars, Palestinian and Israeli protests. The golden rule is coming back.

This country, people aren't realizing that God has slowly but surely given us the business to get us to repent. Who will repent for the transgressions and murder we've done across the Middle East? Two million civilians. Who will repent about sending weapons to Israel, and they're killing children and 80,000 to 100,000 civilians? That's murder. Intentionally killing an innocent person is murder, not killing. America and Israel have blood all over our hands with our bombs. Of course, the Islamists have blood all over their hands. The promised land is being desecrated by innocent blood being spilled. Go read what God says about innocent blood being spilled, especially on His promised land.

This brings us to the next video about violence, why God destroyed the world in Noah's day. The main reason was violence. Everyone is trying to justify the violence across the Middle East and the world. They have the Torah, the Quran, whatever. But they don't have that by the God of Israel because there are too many transgressions being done in the promised land that are not kosher by the Jewish people. The settlers and all this violence are not good. It goes against the Torah, which says to treat sojourners, foreigners, and people in the land well.

I have no partiality. All these people in the Middle East have lost their minds. The Jewish people, Muslims, and Christians who support this have lost their hearts, souls, and understanding of the Holy Bible. Violence, intentionally killing an innocent person, is murder. There is murder all over the promised land. Just wait and see what God does. Our Jewish friends need to understand. Go read Zechariah 14. A Jewish prophet says half the city will go into captivity at the end of the age. The women will be ravished, raped. That's what God told the prophet to say. Wake up, Israelis. What's coming will make you blush because of what will go down in the promised land to families, women, and children. Read Jeremiah, read Moses. People don't read them because it's heavy stuff.

You will be called anti-everything for doing your part because you won't be partial and will call it like it is. America and Israel, the two countries where people think everything is good and God is on their side, are where God is on our side to judge us when we're out of alignment. Israel is out of alignment, and America is out of alignment. That's why you haven't seen any victories in 25 years in the Middle East by the United States. You haven't seen any victories by Benjamin Netanyahu in 20 years. He says he's a wartime president, but he has zero victories. I'm not sure why we're so deceived in Israel about Benjamin Netanyahu, other than God has turned them over to him, and he will lead them to the beast kingdom. Then they will understand what we've all been saying about this man and his government.

Ben Gvir, Smotrich, Netanyahu, and others say things that sound racist, like "Burn all of Lebanon." Why do you want to get rid of all the Gazans? Control the land, but give Gazans freedom and try to get along. Why do you want to get rid of all these people? It looks racist. I am very disappointed in this Israeli government. I've always supported the Israeli prime minister, but when they do wrong, you have to call it like it is.

Ariel Sharon allowed George W. Bush to convince him and pressure him to evacuate from Gaza in 2005. People forget that this is George W. Bush's problem we're still dealing with in Gaza. After that, Hamas rose up. Thank you, George Bush. Keep up the bad work. Another Bush everywhere. We've done a lot of bad stuff over there, and people love to justify it. If you're reading the Holy Bible, you know that America and Israel are out of alignment.

If you're a Zionist with blood and murder in your heart, then go for it. But Zionism is not in the Bible. They take Zionism from the Abrahamic covenant. I have a problem with that. Why are we calling it Zionism or Zionist when it's called the Abrahamic Covenant? Give respect to God and Abraham. If you're not calling it the Abrahamic Covenant, you're not being biblical. You're doing a replacement theology with Zionism. People have to figure out if that's biblical. They'll tell you, "Yeah, it's the Abrahamic Covenant. The people return to the land." Then why are you calling it Zionism? It should be called the Abrahamic Covenant so people can understand the covenants. That's why we don't understand the covenants because of all these "isms" and "schisms" people keep coming up with.

The Abrahamic Covenant promises the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob the promised land. When they get to the promised land, they must follow the Mosaic Covenant. If you obey, enjoy. If you don't obey, you're out. Obedience means enjoying the land. Disobedience means a time to repent. If you don't repent, Nebuchadnezzar or General Titus comes.

We need to understand how God works with people. Zionism goes off the Abrahamic Covenant but doesn't look at the Mosaic Covenant, which talks about the behavior of people in the land. Yes, they have a right to return to the land. Abrahamic Covenant rights to the land. When they are in the land, it doesn't mean making everyone's life miserable. They have to follow what Moses told them. If they don't, they will be dealt with tremendously. That will be the beast kingdom, the antichrist, or Nebuchadnezzar. It will be bad stuff because of disobedience.

All this pride and ego with Israel, America, Americans, Christians, and Jews will be brought down. Pride will be brought down. Daniel 8 says the Jewish people's pride will be broken. This is an end-of-age passage. The pride of the people will be broken, and then American pride will be broken as well. The pride and egos of the governments, Christian Zionists, and Zionists are higher than everyone else's. They think it's the appointed time, but not to conquer the promised land or greater Israel. It's the appointed time for Yeshua, or Nebuchadnezzar figures are coming. That's what time it is. The time of Jacob's trouble is coming, not redemption. Then he will be saved out of it afterwards. The covenant with death, Isaiah 28, will be annulled by Yeshua.

Bad times are coming, then good if they are in Yeshua and follow the commandments. Thank you for joining us tonight. Shabbat Shalom. We'll go to comments and questions. Shabbat Shalom to Evan, Denise, Michael, Postured Heart, Sandra, Frank, Sebastian, Danielle, Loretta.

"We are the children of the light, for the great one gives us sight. We are the children of the light, so shine bright with all of our might." Those with knowledge will shine bright like the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever.

"Yahweh's soul food." Shabbat Shalom to you. Hope all is well. Missing from Estonia, hope all is well. Miss Annie, thank you for joining us at 4 or 5 in the morning. Postured Heart TNT: Torah and Truth. Amen. "We are the children of the day, for we believe and have faith. Let us be awake and be sober. For those who get drunk get drunk at night. Those who sleep, sleep at night." Be awake and be sober. A postured heart, an oil-filled lamp, Torah, awake and sober and right-minded. Without oil in our lamp, we have no light; we have darkness. This goes to the foolish virgins and the wise virgins. The wise virgins have oil, and their lamps will have light. They will have understanding. A renewed mind. Don't be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind through the blessed Holy Spirit. Have the mind of Christ Jesus. Torah, righteousness, justice. There's not a lot of righteousness or justice in the world. It's like the laws of the jungle. Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in darkness. John 14 or 15. Mercy, grace, and compassion. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.

Frank asks how to access the notes. Email him, and he will send the PDF notes. "This is God's word, not mine."

Denise quotes John 14:14: "You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." Verse 13 says, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." Yeshua relates following commandments to getting answers to prayer. You can ask for anything in His name, but it's about godly and spiritual things, doing the Father's will. If you follow His commandments, you're in alignment with Him, and you'll get answers to prayer according to His will.

Sebastian quotes Revelation 14:12: "This requires the steadfast endurance of the saints, those who obey Yahweh's commandments and hold to their faith in Yeshua." This requires both obedience to Yahweh's commandments and faith in Yeshua. Satan goes after those who keep the commandments of God and the testimony of Yeshua. It's always both: Yeshua and Yahweh's commandments. Exodus 20 says those who love God keep His commandments. Christian friends are missing the "keep the commandments" part.

Danielle provides the Hebrew for Shabbat Shalom.

Denise quotes John 15:5: "I am the vine, you are the branches. If you remain in me, I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." If a branch withers or does its own thing, it will be broken off, like the Jewish people were broken off due to unbelief in Romans 11. We must be in alignment with Him, like a branch is with the vine, and the vine is with the vine dresser, the Father. We need to be in alignment with the Father. Vine dresser, vine, branch – God, Yeshua, us – all in sequence, all in alignment, all together. He will make His abode with us because we are in alignment with Him. It's all back to the Father and His commandments. Yeshua is the only begotten Son of the Father.

Proverbs 31:9: "Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and the needy." This is about justice and righteousness. Jeremiah spoke about this.

Monster 4103, Shabbat Shalom. "May His blessing and tender mercies abound." We receive that.

Denise: "The ways of God are higher than our ways. God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts." Help us, heavenly Father, to keep Your commandments. The Holy Spirit to lead us into obedience, not rebellion. Faith without works is dead. Speak the truth to each other and render true and sound judgment. Do not plot evil or swear falsely.

Royalty, Shabbat Shalom. Following Yeshua is different than following Christianity. It's a huge difference in understanding the Gospels and New Testament writings from the Torah, prophets, and Psalms.

If we have the education of the original revelation of Torah, the original revelation out of God's mouth, and if we have "Thus Sayeth the Lord" from the prophets, and if we have all the great psalmist, including King David, and if we understand that, the New Testament will read smooth and silky. I've been in Christianity for 38 years and following Jesus for 12 years, and there's a totally different way. I've been meaning to do this video for about two or three years now about why I left Christianity to follow Jesus, the Jewish Messiah. Most Christians would look at that and be like, "What in the world is he talking about?" That's the point. That's the point is I left Christianity to follow the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua, Jesus. Some people, Christians look at it and say, "What are you talking about?" Well, that's the point is they're in rebellion. They're not following Jesus. They're not following what he said out of his own mouth, to follow me.

They're not even listening to the Master. They're not even listening to Paul. Paul says, "Keep Passover." Christians don't keep Passover. 1 Corinthians 5:7 says to keep the feast of Passover. Christians celebrate Good Friday and Easter Sunday. They don't even listen to Paul. So, I'm not even sure what they're reading or what they're teaching or what they're doing, because Paul would call them out on their rebellious behavior with these pagan festivals. Paul says, "Keep the feast of Passover," and Christians don't do that. I want eternal life with Jesus and God. And my friend, you have it. I've known you long enough on the channel that your heart posture is beautiful. You and your family, and it's great that we've connected. So, thank you so much. Shalom. Shabbat Shalom to you. Miss Denise says, "Save us, heavenly Father, and we will be saved. Heal us, and we will be healed." These are Jeremiah scriptures.

If you need healing or saving, or if your family does, or someone is in sickness, this is a beautiful scripture in Jeremiah 17:14: "Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for you are my praise." They also say that in the Amidah as well, if you know what the Amidah is, a beautiful prayer that's in Acts 3. You can find the Amidah in Acts chapter 3. It's beautiful. It says it as well: "Heal us, O Lord, we shall be healed. Save us, and we will be saved."

So again, all of these great prophets and writers, they said the same thing: "You are my strength. You are my song. You have become my salvation." Man, Moses said that in Exodus 15. Isaiah said that in Isaiah 12. And Psalm 118, the crucifixion hymn of Yeshua, he says it as well: "You are my strength and you are my song and you have become my Yeshua, my salvation." That's what it means in Hebrew: Yeshua. Our friend Skiro the Hebrew, thank you so much for joining us.

Shabbat Shalom to you, my friend. We hope all is well. We hope you have had a great week and we hope you have a better Shabbat and also a great weekend as well. Thank you so much for joining us and hope to see you again very soon, my friend. Mr. Shimuel Moshi, Shalom to you, my friend. Great to see you. It's been some time. I hope all has been going well and I hope you have a great Shabbat and a great weekend and we hope you and your family have been doing awesome. Thank you so much for joining us. In my opinion, to bless Israel is to lead by example and guide Israel back to faithfulness. Amen. What a beautiful statement. So, yeah, to bless Israel is to lead them by example and guide Israel back to the Torah, Yeshua, you know, the faithfulness and obedience. And that's nothing but a love heart posture towards the Jewish people, just like our friend does as well. It might not be popular with other people, but that's okay.

We've got to do our part with the Great Commission, right? So, thank you so much for that. Appreciate it. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews helps Jews with clothing, food, medicine, and shelter. And yes, to be a part of that is blessing the Jewish people tremendously. A friend of mine over there does the Aliyah Return Center. That is to help the Jewish people who make Aliyah over to Israel. It helps them with setting up occupations, housing, all of these things. It helps get them kind of set up in the land. Aliyah Return Center. If you want to look those guys up, I believe the gentleman's name is Melpin. He does a great job, and I'm sure they do as well, and others do as well. One for Israel, Jews for Jesus. If I can say this in love to everybody and you can receive this: if God tells you to give to somebody, we give to somebody, no matter what. But what I personally see is I see too many people supporting the Orthodox more so than the believers over in Israel.

And I'm not sure why. And again, support the Orthodox, that's fine. But don't forget about the Messianic believers over there either, the Jewish believers, who definitely need our support over there because they're the underdog over there. You see what I'm saying? So they need our support, they need our love, they need help, they need all of these things because they're going to be persecuted. How do I know that? Or how do we know that? Well, Luke 21, which is the Olivet Discourse on Luke's version, says that basically when he's talking to the Jewish disciples who are believers, and really to the Jewish believers of our day in Israel, he is saying this: "When they drag you up to the synagogues," that means the Orthodox and the religious people will persecute the Jewish believers. "And when they drag you up to the courts," that means the politicians, the Israeli government will persecute the believers as well.

Just understand that's what's coming. So again, this is nothing other than standing beside the Jewish believers over there because they're going to be persecuted. Yeshua says that when they drag you up to the synagogues, that means the religious leaders are involved. When they drag you up to the courts, that means the Israeli government's involved. So again, I don't say that about anything. I just... I'm going to support the Jewish believers. That's who I'm going to stand with over in Israel, is the Jewish believers. Now, I know a lot of Orthodox Jewish people as well, and I love them as well, and I network with them as well. But again, I'm going to support the Jewish believers because they're going to be persecuted by the religious leaders, the Orthodox, whatever you want to say, and they're going to be by the government as well. And that's what your Master said in Luke 21. So if any Christian Zionist has a problem with that, they need to go back and read what the Master has said about the Israeli government at the end of the age and the religious leaders of Israel at the end of the age.

That's what he said, just like he said in Matthew 23 to them as well. So again, this is not anything other than taking up for the ones who love our Messiah and Yeshua, and they are at a disadvantage over there. They are the underdogs over there because there are very few of them over there. Thus the reason we need to support them over there as well. And again, give to whoever God says to give to, Orthodox, whoever it may be. But at the same time, just understand our Jewish believers need love and support as well because Yeshua says before he went to the cross that they are going to be persecuted in the synagogues and also in the courts, which puts the politicians of Israel, the government, and the religious leaders on notice, basically. Thomas Jefferson was correct. Revelation was written by a lunatic. Well, Thomas Jefferson was a lunatic in my personal opinion because of the book of Revelation.

You're about to see it. So, we'll see who's the lunatic is Thomas Jefferson and not the Apostle John. Miss Denise, a revelation of Jesus Christ was inspired by the Holy Spirit of God. Amen to that. And yeah, I'm not even going to go through this. This is just someone who has no clue whatsoever. Who has time to do this? I guess someone who's bored. Why would someone go on a channel and do all this? Unless they're sitting on the couch at home with mommy or something. I don't know. Pretty interesting. People have a waste of time. But anyhow, we'll keep scanning, going on forward. Miss Denise, "Save us, heavenly Father, and we will be saved. Heal us, and we will be healed." Jeremiah scriptures. And if you need healing or saving, or if your family does, or someone is in sickness, or whatever, this is a beautiful, beautiful scripture in Jeremiah 17:14. "Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed.

Save me, and I will be saved, because you are my praise." They also say that in the Amidah as well. If you know what the Amidah is, a beautiful prayer that's in Acts 3. You can find the Amidah in Acts chapter 3. It's beautiful. It says it as well: "Heal us, O Lord, we shall be healed. Save us, and we will be saved."

So again, all of these great prophets and writers, they said the same thing. "You are my strength. You are my song. You have become my salvation." Man, Moses said that in Exodus 15. Isaiah said that in Isaiah 12. And Psalm 118, the crucifixion hymn of Yeshua, he says it as well: "You are my strength and you are my song and you have become my Yeshua, my salvation." That's what it means in Hebrew: Yeshua. But anyhow, so this is really cool stuff, you know, really cool stuff. Our friend Mr. Jimmy James, I love your name, Jimmy James. Great name that you have. Shabbat Shalom to you.

Thank you so much for joining us. We hope you had a great week and we hope you have an even better weekend and Shabbat. I love your icon there. Somebody got baptized. Amen. And amen and amen. And thank you so much for being with us tonight. First time that I've seen you on the channel. So, welcome, and we hope to see you again very soon. Thank you so much for joining us. And "Posture your heart," I can do all things through the light Yeshua, the Lamb who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13. Amen. And amen. "I can do all things through the light who strengthens me." Amen to that. Here's Mr. Brian Sinclair. Shabbat Shalom to you, my friend. He says that Jesus, when you look at the Gematria, is 74 * 9 is 666. Whatever that means. I don't even use that. I don't even use the English word much for our Savior. I use the Hebrew name Yeshua. And Yeshua, the birth name he was called by Gabriel to Mary, does not equal 666.

So, I can't speak for the English version of Jesus on that. Obviously, you've done your homework on that. But I usually just use the Hebrew name because that's what the angel said, and that's what God called him, and that's what his mama called him. So, again, I'll call him that. You know, because again, his name means salvation, Yeshua. And just to say this, and again, I'm not trying to get into any debate on calling Jesus Yeshua, whatever, but just for people to understand this, okay? Again, people, I say Jesus at times as well. So, I try to just use his Hebrew name, but I try to say Jesus to get people who are not familiar with Yeshua accustomed. Okay? With that being said, Jesus is not, this is just facts, okay? Jesus is not a transliteration or a translation of Yeshua. It's just not. Okay? So, I'm not meaning that in any kind of way. I'm just saying that honestly speaking, Jesus is not a translation from Yeshua, and it's not a transliteration from Yeshua, just for everybody to know that.

Okay? So, please do your own research on that. I'm not judging anyone for whatever. So, I think people who know the Savior in their own language, whether it's English, whether it's Mexican Spanish, whether it's whatever it may be, if you believe he's the Son of God, the Seed of Abraham, the Seed of David, the line of the tribe of Judah, the Son of God who saved you from your sins, whatever the Greek word is, whatever the English word is, or whatever language that someone is from, I think, personally speaking, I don't think that's a problem. Now, would I like everybody to use Yeshua? Of course. I'd rather people just use that only because that's what his name truly is. He's not going to come back as Jesus. He's going to come back as Yeshua HaMashiach. Okay? So, just that's just facts. Again, I'm not judging anybody. I've said it tonight about Jesus. So, you know, I'm not judging anybody.

It's just his real name is Yeshua HaMashiach, by the Archangel Gabriel who told Mary. And from what I understand, Mary didn't know English. I don't think the Archangel Gabriel spoke English to Mary either, because she would not have understood what he was saying. Okay? So again, just to let you know. "People don't listen to sound doctrine." That's true. Very true. For 6,000 years, that's been the case, right? For most people. "As your soul prospers, so does your health." Amen. And amen. Mr. Sebastian, "Biblical Israel seems to be different than political Israel. Only Yeshua can rightfully rule the land." And that's biblical, and that is prophetic. And that's an amen to that. Thank you so much for that. Amen. My friends, well, I think I've gotten down to all of the chats here, and it's been a wonderful evening with everybody. And I hope everybody has received a lot of great understandings tonight.

I know I certainly have whenever I've gone through the scriptures as well about the light and the darkness. Very amazing. And it was very enlightening, to be quite frank with you, when I was looking at the scriptures. I was like, "This is pretty amazing because I've never studied the light and the darkness like I did with this teaching that we're doing." So, that's why we do these things. We keep searching the scriptures. It's one of the reasons I keep reading the Torah portions over and over and over again because it's beautiful, and revelation comes more and more and more each and every year we read it, right? Every time we read the scriptures, more and more and more. You know, it's kind of like doing a sport. If you're an athlete or if you're a musician, if you play the guitar or piano, the more you do it, the more you practice, the better you get, right? And you get better at your craft, if you will.

And that's the same thing with reading the Holy Bible. I mean, if we just read it one time, okay, you might get one layer, but man, there are so many different layers every time you keep reading it, and how everything connects, you know, like a big old spaghetti bowl. You know what I mean? And it's just really amazing. It truly is amazing. And that's why I tell people, the Holy Bible, the consistency of God in the Holy Bible from Genesis to Revelation, everybody is saying the same thing. And if one does not think that Paul is saying the same thing, then that person needs to close Paul and go get re-educated to go back and reread Paul because he's saying the same thing. Same thing. And if he did not, then he would be false. Okay? So again, he would be the only writer in the Holy Bible to tell you to not follow the commandments. He would be the only one. If one thinks that, because everybody else says clearly, "Follow, follow." Peter, James, John, you name it.

So Paul would be the only one, and it takes two witnesses to establish the matter. And even before that, God is the lawgiver, not Paul. God is. Okay? So everybody needs to understand not to put Paul as God. Christians, and to understand what God said to do and what Yeshua confirmed to do. So for me, I'm going to trust the Father and the Son. Torah, Prophets, Psalms, Gospels. If you follow those sections of the Bible, you're good. I love Peter. I love Paul. I love John. I love James. I love everybody. Whatever. Bottom line, follow the Father, follow the Son, and you will know what they said out of their mouths. And that's what I would do. I would follow what God said out of his mouth in the first five books of the Bible. The prophets, what they warned Israel about to get back to the Torah is what they said. Basically, go back to God's commandments is what they told the people. And then the Psalms say the same thing.

Yeshua says the same thing. Peter says the same thing. Paul says the same thing. Everybody says the same thing. Paul is just giving you an understanding of these things in a deep, deep sense. Okay? But if you don't know where he's coming from, or if I don't know where he's coming from either, and I didn't at one time. I used to read Paul before I was born again 12 years ago, and I had no clue. It was more about a personal thing, okay? Personal stuff. Not any prophetic understanding, not any tie into Torah, not any tie into the Gospel. It was just a personal gospel, okay, to me. And that's where a lot of Christians are. You've got to get out of yourself, okay? Because God will purify you through Him, His commandments, calendar, feast days, Shabbat, New Moon. If you get in alignment with Him, He's going to cleanse you. He's going to purify you. And you don't have to worry about all this stuff because you're in alignment with Him.

And every Shabbat that you're on, you're going to get more revelation. Every Passover you're on, more revelation. Every, etc., etc. And if we do that, it's going to just be beautiful. And you'll see it. You'll see the alignment coming. I didn't realize how out of alignment I was in Christianity until I was truly born again in 2014. I didn't know. I didn't know how. And that's what a lot of Christians don't know. So again, if I can be fair to the Christians, even though they need to read their Bibles, if I could be fair and balanced, they just don't know. And that's why we've got to do what we do. And yes, they're going to disagree with you all the time. They're not going to agree with you at all. They're not going to agree with me at all. But at the same time, you've got to plant the seed so they can go search this out. And that's why I tell people, go search it out. Go search it out. I try to offend people so they can search it out because people have got to understand they're out of alignment.

The Jewish people and the Christian, excuse me, sorry about that. The Christians and the Jews are out of alignment by not following the commandments of God through Yeshua and the blessed Holy Spirit. And both parties have different sides, of course, but we've got to do our part. If you love people, if you love your neighbor, and if you want people to have salvation, you know, if you want people to get to eternal life, you know, we've got to say it. I mean, goodness, people don't like what I say all the time, okay? But at the same time, I'm not saying I'm... I need to do better at some things. I know I do. But at the same time, I mean, goodness gracious, they're not going to agree with these things because they don't have the love of God in them to follow Him. And they just don't. And it's sad to say, but they just don't. People want their cake and eat it too. They want the world and they want eternal life.

And those do not mix like oil and water does not mix. They do not mix. Heaven and the world. They just don't. The Kingdom of God and the world, they are opposites of each other. And God told all of us to get out of the world. And if you love me, if you love Him, keep His commandments, right? And if you don't, you won't. You know, it's pretty simple. Be light and not dark, right? Amen to that. Good night, everybody. God bless you and keep you. And you as well, Denise. Thank you so much for joining us again, and we'll see you very soon, my friend. Shabbat Shalom to you and your husband and your family. And we wish you guys a great day tomorrow. "Follow, follow." I can't even talk right now. Excuse me. "Follow Father. Follow Son." I think they try to get me tongue-tied. You know what I mean? "Follow Father, Follow Son. Torah, Prophets, Psalms, and the Gospels. Life and life more abundantly." And that's why I tell people, just like you have "Posture your heart." If people will just follow the Father and the Son, they will be great.

Be great. And getting all these debates on what the writers are saying. No, follow what God said. Follow what Yeshua said. And it's very point-blank. Very simple to understand. Very simple. Follow the Father, follow the Son. Torah, Prophets, Psalms, and the Gospels. Life and life more abundantly. Amen. What a great statement. Amen. Amen. And amen. A beautiful light, a beautiful life. And they're a poet and they didn't even know it. Okay. God and Jesus Christ forever and ever. Amen. Amen. And amen. And "Posture your heart" says to have a postured heart. Amen and amen to that. Thank you so much for that, and God bless you for that. And Miss Denise, thank you, Chadwick, for keeping us on the right way to worship. Well, thank God. And I thank God as well. And I thank you as well, Denise. And I thank everybody on here who's been travailing with us. And if you're new to the channel, thank you for joining us as well.

Denise has been with us since probably before I even came on. Faithful Performance. Okay, she's been here that long. So again, we've learned a lot, haven't we, Denise, and everybody else who's been with us for a long time. We've all learned a lot, including myself. Goodness, I've learned a lot since I've done live videos and stuff. And it's been a blessing to learn with you guys and learn all of these things and be corrected. I've been corrected a lot through this process of 12 years. And I hope I still get corrected. You know, wherever we're wrong in theology, eschatology, you name it, geopolitics, wherever we're in error, we want God to clear that up so that we're not in error, so that we are seeing clearly. And I think the best way to see clearly, in my personal way, in my personal opinion, is to understand the biblical prophets, to understand what they have said, what Moses, what Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, or Daniel, what Yeshua, what the biblical prophets have ordained at the end of the age is super important for us to understand right now.

Why? Because too many Christians and Jews are looking at politicians right now instead of the biblical prophets. And the biblical prophets will override Donald Trump, will override Netanyahu, will override Erdogan, will override Putin, will override everybody. They're the ones calling the shots from God. It's the biblical prophets, not Donald Trump, not Netanyahu, none of them. Not Bush, not Obama, not Ariel Sharon, not any of them. So please don't get offended if you're a Trump supporter. He's just not calling the shots. He's being on a string by God, and Netanyahu and all these other world leaders are as well. So again, they're going to do exactly what the biblical prophets have ordained at the end of the age. And that's why it was easy to say that we were not going to beat Iran. Very easy because you're fighting against biblical prophecy. And if they decide to go back over there and get some more of it, they will lose again.

You're fighting against biblical prophecy. What do I mean by that? If Iran or not, if since Iran is in the beast kingdom, the 10 kings, they're in the beast kingdom, then why do you think America is going to beat them and Israel is going to beat them and make them a good nation with Reza Pahlavi? I mean, give me a break. That lets me know that people don't understand biblical prophecy because why would Iran be a good nation now when we're about to step into the worst time in human history? And they're part of the beast kingdom. And look at what's happened. We haven't achieved anything other than destruction and lives lost and missiles and money lost. You haven't gotten any objectives cleared. The United States and Israel hasn't achieved any objectives. The Iranian regime is still in control and still in power. I mean, that's not even a conversation. The missile program is still flying missiles northward, southward, and westward.

That's not even a debate. Now you've got the Houthis doing the same thing to Saudi Arabia. I mean, goodness gracious. So again, no objectives. You've got the Hormuz Strait closed by the Iranians. They're making about two to three million dollars for each ship that goes by. And then you've got the Americans that have a blockade on top of that. So show me a victory. There are no victories. So again, the Gulf nations, America's allies are just target practice for Iran. Saudi Arabia is target practice for Iran's proxy, the Houthis. It seems no one can beat them for some reason. So you tell me. So again, there is no victory in all of this. There's only degrees of losing. And right now, these degrees are getting a little bit more heavier because of the pride and the ego of the American government and the Israeli government thinking that they can still go beat Iran. Good gosh. I mean, how stupid are these people?

They're fighting against biblical prophecy, everybody. All right? They're fighting against biblical prophecy. And whoever fights against biblical prophecy will be embarrassed. And that's why you're seeing the American empire fall down because of the Middle East getting run out, Europe run out. So you're losing a lot of geopolitical power. America has in the last two to three years under Trump and Biden, both of them. Biden and Trump. You've lost a lot of credibility, economic power, and also military power by fighting Ukraine and Russia, and also Gaza and Israel and Iran. All of these wars, all of this stuff, you're losing credibility, and God is judging us for that. The American Empire is pretty much toast and done, over with. That should be common sense. I think that's a good thing so that we can bring our soldiers back home. We've got an empire right here. We don't need anything else.

We've got enough right here in our homeland to be a superpower instead of trying to dictate to the world the American way. How is that going for the world and America in the last 80 years? So I think it's a good thing. We've had our chance. We've had our opportunity for 80 years. We've done a lot of evil in those years, 80 years of controlling the world. And now it's all over now, baby blue, like Bob Dylan said. And I think that's a good thing so that we can repent and we can get back to God and get back to quit going to war and quit killing innocent people all over the Middle East, and we can try to become a righteous nation and a sheep nation and stuff. So I think it's a good thing for the collapse of the American Empire. I'm not for any empires. I'm not for no empire other than the Kingdom of Israel by Yeshua. That's it. I'm not for the American Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the British Empire, because why?

Because they take advantage of other people, and they kill a lot of innocent civilians, and they have to take advantage of the resources of all these other continents and countries. And I just disagree with that. If we can't run our own show over here, if we can't run our own business, then we have problems. If we have to go kidnap everybody, if we have to go steal minerals, steal resources, steal oil, all the stuff we've done to Iran over 80 years, you know, and people don't know about that. People just think about 1979 is what people think. It goes longer than that. People, please do research and understand this has been 1953. We've been over in their business in Iran, the oil, greedy politicians, America, Britain, of course, and now we've got the Israelis now going in there. So again, we've been in their business for since 1953. And guess what? That's why you're seeing what you're seeing because they're not going to let you go now.

Their mindset, if you do your research, their mindset is they don't want to have to go back to this again. They've been negotiating. America has bombed them during the negotiations twice. They're going to run America out this time. They're not going to take any more chances. They've seen this for since 1953, especially since 1979. And they're going to run America out of the Middle East. And that is biblical because why? Turkey will be the superpower next. Not America. Turkey will be the superpower of the Middle East according to the prophet Daniel and also Ezekiel 38. Turkey is the leader of the alliance, not Iran, after Turkey rocks them in Daniel 8. So again, my friends, we'll follow up with some of these chats here. I am enjoying this worship today, for we worship truly in spirit and in truth on the beautiful Shabbat, which tells everybody in the world that we're God's people. See, Christians don't know that when you set apart yourself with God, okay, and you follow His Sabbath and you go read the scriptures, the Sabbath sets apart you from the world.

That's the way the world knows that you're in alignment with the Most High is the Shabbat. Now, the Jewish people do keep the Shabbat, most of them, okay? But they don't have Yeshua, okay? So again, you've got to have Yeshua, Sabbath, Passover, Unleavened Bread, all these things. Okay? So that's what the Sabbath separates God's people from the world. And so, amen to that. You know, anyone who is worshiping God, the true Sabbath, you're worshiping in spirit and in truth. If you're worshiping on Sunday, you're just worshiping Him in vain. That's what He says in Mark 7, with the oral traditions of man compared to the commandments of God. So again, just read what Yeshua says. Christians just need to go back, close Paul for a minute, and go back and read what the Master has said, what Yeshua said in the four Gospels. I would concentrate on that. Mr. Sebastian, Romans 7:12: "So then the Torah is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good." I mean, Paul says the same thing that all the rest of them say.

The Torah is holy. He didn't say get away from it. Get rid of it. In fact, in Romans 3:31, the Apostle Paul proposes a question to us. Romans 3:31: "Does our faith nullify the Torah or get rid of the Torah because of our faith in Jesus? Does it get rid of the Torah?" And he says, "Absolutely not." With an exclamation point, "Your faith and my faith establishes the Torah," is what he says. Romans 3:31. So, where did he get that from? Well, Messiah said the same thing. He came to fulfill these things, to establish these things on the earth. Just like Paul says again, "Our faith establishes the Torah on the earth." You see what I'm saying? If we don't understand what Yeshua says, then there's no reason to read Paul. None. Zero. Don't read him. You're going to be in replacement theology and not breaking the command. You're going to be breaking the commandments and not in a good place. Okay?

So again, Paul himself, you've got to read him according to Torah, Prophets, Psalms, and Gospels. Yeshua says, Matthew 5, "I came to fulfill and establish." If you look at the Hebrew, not just fulfill and fulfilled. Well, people put both fulfilleds there because, "Oh, He's fulfilled everything. I don't need to do anything." I mean, great. Welcome to the world. No, He came to fulfill it, to establish it on this earth. Just like Isaiah 2 and Micah 4 says, He has to do that. Paul's just saying the same thing. Romans 3:31, "Your faith establishes the Torah on this earth." Be an example of Yeshua, the Messiah, is what he's trying to say. All right? So again, just like our friend Sebastian quoted, we've got to take Paul with all of the scriptures to understand what he's saying about the Torah. He's just giving you an understanding of these things in a deep, deep sense because he's very smart.

But we have to read him according to what the Torah, the Prophets, the Psalms, and Yeshua. "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come. You are worthy, O Lord, to receive honor, glory, and power. For you created all things, and by your will they were created and exist. Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power, riches, wisdom, honor, glory, and blessing. Blessing, honor, and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever and ever. Amen. Amen and amen." Thank you for that, Posture your heart. That's something that I pray all the time. So, it's just out of the book of Revelation. And you gave me the first three words. So, I just thought I'd continue to praise on the Shabbat. So, thank you so much for that. But as Revelation 4 and Revelation 5, I believe, where people are praising the Most High and the Lamb in the courts of heaven, in the heavenly scene in Revelation 4 and Revelation 5.

So, amen to that. Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh. Holy, holy, holy is the One who was, who is, and who is to come. Amen. We give all praise and honor and glory. Amen. Miss Denise, "Live by the light of Jesus and His commandments." Amen. And amen. And amen. And "Holy, holy, holy." Isaiah 6:3 and Revelation 4:8. Amen to that. And that's where John got it, right? Because John was just quoting a lot of prophets in the book of Revelation if you read it. So, we'll be writing... I'm going to be releasing a book on the book of Revelation. I'm not sure when. I haven't started it yet, but I do have the guts in it, if that makes any sense. What are the guts? The scriptures are the main guts. And now I've just got to go through it. So, I've done videos on the book of Revelation, and that does help in writing the book because I can, with the technology of today, get what I said online, and it'll translate it into English, and it makes writing books a little bit easier.

Isn't that amazing? Because I'm not really a writer, and I'm not really someone who likes to stand still a lot. I like to move and groove a lot with... I'm all over the place, if you will, with energy. So, but we will be writing that. I think I'm looking forward to writing the book of Revelation. Just my personal opinion. And we'll be writing it basically just quoting the Torah, the Prophets, the Psalms, and the Gospels. That's all we're going to be doing is taking Revelation and correlating it to what John would have understood with the Torah, the Prophets, and the Psalms and the Gospels. That's all he was doing is mainly quoting the prophets to give us more understanding. And then he went further with the kingdoms of Daniel, because the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation, they go hand in hand for sure. Leviticus 12:27-28: "You must sanctify yourselves and be holy, because I, Yahweh, your Elohim, am holy.

You must be sure to obey my statutes. I am Yahweh who sanctifies you." So how can Yahweh sanctify us if we're not following His commandments? Isn't it? I mean, if you can kind of get that out of what Sebastian posted here. How can we be sanctified if we're not following the statutes, obeying? Because He's the one who sanctifies us, right? How does He sanctify? Through the commandments, through the statutes, obedience. So again, He's the one who sanctifies us. We go through this scripture on every new month or new moon. He's the one who sanctifies us. He's the one who wants us to be holy because He is holy. "You must be sure." Not maybe, not might, not hey if, not let me cherry-pick. "You must be sure to obey all of my statutes." The ones that, of course, pertain to us, not sacrifices and all the stuff for the high priest to do. "I am Yahweh who sanctifies you." Very simple and very beautiful if one wants to receive that, because that's from the Most High.

That's from the Most High. For the Most High God, Moses wrote that down. "You must sanctify." God said this. "You must sanctify yourselves and be holy because I'm Yahweh your Elohim. You must be sure to obey my statutes." Everywhere in the Torah, it will say that. Obedience, obedience, obedience. And that's why the prophets told the people to go back to the Torah, to go back to the ancient past, go back to the good ways. And they said no. Right? Jeremiah chapter 6, they said no. So again, He wants us to be sanctified. How are we sanctified? Through what I believe in the world and my own? No, not at all. That's self-idolatry. That will be sent through the pit of hell. No, I've got to follow and get in alignment. You do as well. We've got to get in alignment with Him. And again, it's just really amazing during this journey of 12 years that I personally have had. I just didn't realize it. I didn't realize it, you know, how far off I was for 38 years.

Just did not until you started to read the Bible, right? Just like I tell everybody, read the Bible. Well, I told myself that, go get educated because I had zero education. I didn't have a clue. I'm not saying I have a clue now, but I have more of a clue now than I did. I think that's fair. So again, we've got to just keep reading these things and understand. And who has the authority? When God put that in my heart, I'm pretty much like that. Who has the authority to tell me my commandments are done away with? When He put that in my heart, goodness gracious, it's been like a piercing. Because nobody, nobody has the right or the authority. No one ever to tell the Father His... Christians, I'm not talking about sacrifices, okay? That's only for the high priest to do the sacrifices in Jerusalem. In Jerusalem with the temple. We don't have a temple. We most of us aren't in Israel, and we don't have a high priest.

Okay? So you can't do the sacrifices. Okay? So we've got to understand these things. We can't say, "Well, the Torah is just sacrifices only." I mean, that shows someone's illiteracy and ignorance. Okay? We've got to help people understand what I just said. Forget the sacrifices. That's not for anybody to do other than the high priest, okay? And the priest, okay? In Israel with a temple on an altar. We don't have none of that. So don't worry about that. Okay? Worry about everything else that it says pertaining to you and me, the Ten Commandments, okay? The ways to worship, Leviticus 23, and if you're how to live, how to not take bribes, how to be a good farmer, all of these things. Let the poor glean off you. All of these things that are just holy ways of God. But you know what? People don't want to be holy. If they don't want to follow God, if they don't want to follow Torah, if they don't want to follow His ways, they don't want to be holy.

They want to almost like take advantage of salvation. You know what I'm saying? "I want to be saved, but I don't want to show you how much I love you, Yeshua, by following You." But please save me. I want to be in heaven, but I don't want to do anything to show you that I love you. Because John 14:15 says, "If you love me, you'll keep my commandments." So, the only way that He knows that I love Him is if I keep His commandments. I can say I love Yeshua all day long, lip service all day long. But if I don't keep His commandments, He does not think that I love Him or you or anyone else. Okay? So again, I use myself as an example because it's the easiest and people don't get offended. But again, ask yourself that. If Chadwick loves me, Chadwick will keep my commandments. And if Chadwick does not, he won't. And Chadwick's darkness. If not. Okay? So again, we've got to be humble enough to evaluate ourselves and be honest with ourselves, be honest with our heart posture.

Like our friend's handle says, we've got to be honest with ourselves and understand where we're out of alignment so that we can be better. You know, we can be better believers. We can be better worshippers. We can be better set-apart people. You know, we're all trying to grow. All of us, me included, all trying to grow more and more and more. No one's arrived at anything yet, okay? Other than the last days, the end of the age. That's where we've arrived to. So, welcome to the end of the age. But at the same time, the end of the age is going to be really ugly, you know, as we all know. And it's going to take everyone who's following the commandments and acclimated to this kind of environment that we have come into with all this craziness and all these lunatics that we have running the world. You're going to have to have these things to get through these things. Because why? The Bible says that men are going to lose their hearts through this process, man.

They're going to want to die. They're going to want to, you know, whatever. We all know what the book of Revelation says because of how bad this is going to be. And that's why I tell people, we better start acclimating ourselves with what's going on with the attitude and the behavior of the world and the governments and the wars and the terror and this crazy stuff that we're seeing right now. We've got to get acclimated to that. I'm not saying to love it. I hate it, actually. But I'm not saying to love it. I'm just saying to understand you're going to see some things that you might not like to see. You already have.

If anyone loves what they've seen in the last several years, then I'm not sure about the heart posture of people, but there's just a lot of bad going on. It's only going to get worse, and we've got to get acclimated to it, understand that we're at the end of the age, and we're going to see these things go down. Again, just like the prophet Joel said, it's going to be awesome because we know the return of the Messiah is coming, but it's going to be terrible because, well, look around. Look at the behavior of the people in the world, especially the religious people who think they have the religious authority to murder people. Miss Denise is praying for the lost in America and around the world and for the homeless. Amen. Amen. A postured heart. I love your videos on the pure lip language, the alphabet, the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. It's astounding. The alphabet is an amazing thing.

God's Hebrew letters, if you want to call them that, are totally amazing. Thank you very much for your kind words. Praise y'all, for we all learn together, and He's given us all of these things to really just get more and more intimate with Him through that. Thank you so much. We really appreciate God connecting us with you as well, with your wisdom and what you've shared with us. The knowledge, the wisdom, the understanding is astounding as well. Thank you so much for that. I think it's the same message. Posture your heart; we study to show ourselves approved. That's right. I think I've said this before, but I used to do a lot of green screens, just a green screen and do video slides and be done with it, without any fellowship or interaction with people. So I started doing live video about four or five years ago, and it's been a huge blessing because of the education that I've received from the chat as well, from people, and all of these additional things that I wouldn't have received otherwise.

It's been a blessing to be with everybody. Whether we agree or disagree on every single issue, it really doesn't matter as long as we can talk about these things and try to get to the truth. The truth is hard, it is tough, it is narrow, and that's the way I personally like it. We do study ourselves to be approved. No one knows everything. I certainly don't. But we do show ourselves approved, and we get in these forums, if you will, get on the chats, share concepts, share ideas, share understandings, share interpretations, and try to get to the right understanding as we see it going down. Especially with biblical prophecy, the commandments, and the calendar, that's non-negotiable. That's dogmatic. That's get in or get out. Either follow or don't. As far as the prophecies are concerned, I think we all have to be a little bit more open in case we are wrong on prophecies because we can be. There are always curveballs in biblical prophecy.

We might understand the total trajectory of the four kingdoms, but there are still curveballs. For example, I would not have known that the Israeli government would think they could conquer the promised land or go on the greater Israel march. That's been a curveball for me personally because it's not biblical. I didn't realize the Israeli government was going to try to do that. The greater Israel march just won't happen. Why would it happen? He's trying to get them to repent. Only the Jewish Messiah can conquer the promised land, the seed of David, the seed of Abraham. That's why Christians need to go back and read Matthew 1. The seed of David, the seed of Abraham. That means He is the seed of David who will sit on David's everlasting throne for a thousand years and then forever. And then He is the seed of Abraham, the seed mentioned in Genesis 15:17, the seed of the Abrahamic covenant to rule over the promised land and/or conquer it and rule over it with the Jewish people and the believing Gentiles, with Yeshua on David's everlasting throne in the new covenant, the millennial kingdom.

If we don't understand that, then we're going to think that the Christian Zionists and the Jewish Zionists are going to think that they're going to be able to conquer the promised land. Militarily speaking, there's no way for them to do that. They can't do that, and America couldn't sponsor them to do that. We don't have the weapons, and God wouldn't allow it anyway. Look at Iran. That was supposed to be a three or four-day war according to Netanyahu, David Barnea, and Trump. Just lean on them and they'll fall. Well, it's been seven or eight months. They will not win this. That's the kind of thing I'm talking about. We've got to be educated enough to know that whenever our Jewish friends are trying to do something that only the Jewish Messiah will do, they're going to be judged for that. That's why you have not seen any victories, everybody, because they're trying to do things. This Gaza thing was set up as a dirty business kind of thing; it wasn't a holy thing.

I think you can do your research on that, the Israeli government, or especially Benjamin Netanyahu. I've said that since day one. You can go back and look at the video from three years ago that something's not right with all this. This doesn't meet the eye of being kosher. Now the reports are coming out, and they've been coming out, but a lot of Christians and Jews are still deceived on all this, that they don't realize the involvement of the Israeli government in October 7th. If one does their research, they will be astounded. Netanyahu did know. Of course, he knew. He was in alignment with Qatar. Please do some research, and you'll find that out. This man should resign, and this man should not run for political office because if he was a man and a true leader, he would stand up and say, "Israelis, I love you, and I let you down. My fault. It will never happen again. My mistake." Do you think he's got the guts to say that, or the faith to say that?

He doesn't have that. I've got a problem with that. If you make a mistake, own up to it. "Hey, my bad." Do you think he has the character to do that? He does not have the character to do that because he has not done that. He's blaming it on the Shin Bet guy. The Shin Bet guy is suing him, and he should, because Netanyahu is in the wrong here, and the Shin Bet guy is in the right here. Sorry about that, everybody. I'm not sure what happened. A little glimpse in the internet or something. Give me one second. Put something back on. Sorry about that. But again, I just look at things like that. Be man enough when you make a mistake to say it's me. I just don't respect that. I don't respect Netanyahu for not taking responsibility for October 7th when he was truly the leader of the country. Any other leader of the country, or a businessman, or a manager of a baseball team, or a football head coach, or whatever, when things go bad, they're responsible.

In this case, Benjamin Netanyahu was the leader of Israel on October 7th, and he should be gone, and everybody else in that government should be gone because they allowed that to happen. There's too much evidence out there. And then they instituted the Hannibal directive, which is killing their own people so they would not be kidnapped. Even the defense minister said that on Israeli television. Who in the world, number one, sets up the situation, which Benjamin Netanyahu did, and the Israeli government did, and Qatar, and Hamas? And then to institute the Hannibal directive to murder your own people? Go look it up. Go look all this up, everybody. That is not good. Killing your own people. What kind of government do we have in Israel right now? I've never seen Israel behave in this kind of manner by doing what they've done. I love the Jewish people and I stand with the Israelis, but the Israeli government, these people are out of their minds.

I do not support them. I don't support their language, their rhetoric, their racist language. I do not support any of that. So, just to make that clear and decisive, I support the Jewish people and the Israelis over there. I do not support this Israeli government or Benjamin Netanyahu. He's been the worst thing for Israel. He has ruined the image of Israel in my personal opinion. Benjamin Netanyahu has. He is a very bad guy, and I believe God is going to turn them over to him because a lot of people still believe in Netanyahu. I have no reason. I don't know why, because it is a bunch of rhetoric with no victories, zero victories in 21 years of this man. He's one of the greatest politicians I've ever seen in my life. If the Israelis are this deceived, whoever votes for him is this deceived, then you get what you get if you're this deceived with Benjamin Netanyahu because this man has zero victories under his belt.

None. No one can show me any victory that he has done in the Middle East since he's been in power. He has not beaten Hamas. He's not beaten Hezbollah. He's not beaten the Houthis. Of course, he's not beaten Iran. That's obvious. He won't beat Turkey, that's for sure. He won't beat the beast kingdom, that's for sure. He won't overcome the two witnesses, that's for sure. And he won't overcome Nebuchadnezzar if he's in office, for sure. And he won't overcome Yeshua when He comes with the sword as well. Our Israeli friends have a long journey ahead of them. The Middle East has a long journey ahead of them, and America, the whole world has a long road ahead of them to the end of the age with what I just said because people forget the two witnesses. People forget the two witnesses that are going to come down that are Jewish prophets. Elijah is going to be one of them. Everybody loves Elijah, right?

We'll see. We'll see about that when he tells all the Jewish people to repent, and when he tells the Muslims to repent, when he tells the Christians to repent, and he holds up rain for three and a half years on the Israelis, we'll see how many people love Elijah. Kind of like Ahab and Jezebel, with Elijah. We'll see who loves Elijah. People need to get real about who the biblical prophets are, especially our Jewish friends who think they're in alignment. Everything's pointing to they're not in alignment. They're not winning any wars. They've got bad things happening in the land. I've said that many times before. No reason to repeat myself. So why would I mean, it's time to repent. It's not time to go on a march of the promised land. It's just a lot of pride and a lot of egos over there that's going to be handled. Messiah says it, Daniel says it, God says it, Moses says it. I'm not sure what the people are reading over there because Moses, you want to talk about somebody who gave somebody the business, go read what Moses told them, please.

Deuteronomy 26-28. Go read it. It's hard stuff, man. Go read Leviticus 26. Hard stuff. But that's who the God of Israel is in the promised land. If you want to live in the promised land, it's His way, or it will be Nebuchadnezzar coming, or Titus, or whoever you want to call Antichus Epiphanes IV. But this one that's coming is going to be kind of a Nebuchadnezzar-like figure if you read Jeremiah 25. He is going to be a crushing time. It's going to be a crushing time for the Middle East. The Middle East inhabitants need to wake up and understand what time it is. I love all of them. I love the Jews, the Christians, the Muslims, the Alawites, the Bedouins, and whoever else is over there, all the tribes. But boy, they need to understand what's coming to them here soon. It's already here. Look what Iran's doing to the Gulf nations. Look at what America did to Iran. Look at all the destruction everywhere.

All of these lunatics that are running the world are carrying you only to one place, and that one place is the end of the age, the seven-year or the time of Jacob's trouble. These next three years, my friends, obviously, this is common sense. These next three years will tell us if we're going to be in those seven or not. When you see Turkey get involved in this, if you read Daniel 8 and understand that and understand the kingdoms and the beast kingdom and all that, man, you're in the second kingdom right now with Iran. Turkey's next, and then the 10 kings. After that, and then Antichrist. So, you're right here. Once Iran gets bashed by Turkey, everybody will know that the Turks are in charge of the Middle East. We just have to really understand that it's just not our time yet in Israel. It's not the time for us to have the kingdom of Israel. How do I know that? Acts 1:6-7. These are the disciples on the 40th day of the Omer count with Yeshua on the Mount of Olives.

And what did they say? "When will you restore the kingdom back to Israel?" Not when will Bibi Netanyahu restore the kingdom back to Israel, or when will the Israeli government restore the kingdom back to Israel? It doesn't say that. "When will You, Yeshua, restore the kingdom back to Israel?" What does that mean? That means that there's no conquering of any promised land until the seed of Abraham comes, which is Yeshua. He's going to conquer it. Joshua conquered the promised land, but Joshua 5, Yeshua was in front of him. If one doesn't know this, they were in the desert for 40 years because of the spies who brought back the bad report. Ten of the spies brought back the bad report; Caleb and Joshua brought back the good report. That's why Caleb and Joshua and their families and the new generation inherited the promised land after 40 years. They crossed over the Jordan River. They were circumcised, meaning holy.

They ate Passover, holy. They were in alignment with God. Joshua, holy. They conquered the promised land through Yeshua. No, not all of it. They didn't conquer all of the promised land. You have to read Joshua 13, Joshua 23, and Judges 3 to understand that. And He says clearly in Joshua 13 and Joshua 23 and Judges 3, and some other places, "I Myself will take care of Philistia, Gaza, that's where Philistia, and Ashkelon, and Ashdod, and all of those areas. I Myself." That doesn't mean Israel; that means I Myself. So, if people would want to go read the book of Joshua again, then you will understand how God left the promised land for Yeshua to conquer all of it because Joshua didn't conquer all of the promised land. It tells you that in the book of Joshua. David didn't conquer all of the promised land either. Some of it was through political alliances or whatever. Only one can do this: the seed of Abraham, which is Yeshua, the Messiah.

When you're fighting against biblical prophecy, or you're fighting against God, you're trying to do things with the work of your own hands, which Jeremiah said not to do. All the stuff all the prophets did, you're not going to win. You're not going to win. That goes into the pride and all these things that we're talking about. You're just not going to win when you're trying to go against God, and you're trying to go against biblical prophecy, and you're trying to do something that only the King of Israel can do, the Jewish Messiah can do, which is conquer the promised land. When someone's trying to do that, you're going to get the gavl. That's why you have not seen any victories again. If Israel was getting all of these victories with Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and they were victories, you wouldn't hear me say anything other than, "Okay, I guess God wants them to conquer the promised land." But it's just not biblical.

It's not eschatological. It's just not Joshua, David, Yeshua. Not Joshua, David, Benjamin Netanyahu. For our Christian Zionist friends out there, Yeshua, our mediator, walked in perfect obedience, showing us how to live in harmony with our Father in heaven. He didn't try to change things up. If he did, he would not be the Jewish Messiah because he would be in sin, and he's without sin, he's unleavened. So, he was going to do exactly what he said when he was 12 years old. Talking to all the religious leaders, Yeshua said, "You know what? I'm going to do it my own way now. I don't need my Father now. I'm an adult now. I'm not 12 years old. I'm going to do it my way. I'm not going to do it His way." Do you think Christians just need to wake up and understand what Yeshua said about His Father's commandments? Bottom line and period. If they do not, they're going to get a reckoning when they stand before the King of Israel.

That's just scriptural. It might hurt people's feelings, but get in or get out. Get in the commandments, or you're not. You're darkness, not light. There's a difference. Those who keep the commandments, light. Those who do not, darkness. It's pretty straightforward and biblical. Posture your heart, for we lean not to our own understanding. Yah's ways are higher than our ways. Amen. And amen, Mr. Sebastian. Proverbs 9:10: "The beginning of wisdom is to fear Yahweh, and acknowledging the Holy One is understanding." Thank you so much for that, my friend. Very powerful. The beginning of wisdom, just the beginning of it, is the fear, the fearing. And acknowledge the Holy One is understanding. So please, people will take me out of context as they always do when I say this, but please don't. This right here, the seven spirits of Yah in Isaiah 11. He talks about them in Revelation as well. The seven spirits in Isaiah 11.

What are they? The blessed Holy Spirit, the spirit of wisdom, spirit of knowledge, spirit of understanding, spirit of counsel, spirit of might, and the fear of Adonai. He did not say the grace of Adonai. He said the fear of Adonai. So again, don't take me out of context. We're saved by grace through faith. What I am trying to say is I think the hyper-grace movement has been crazy, and everybody's got their hyper-grace that they can just grace, grace, grace, grace, grace, grace. No commandments whatsoever. Just hyper-grace. I just believe, and that's it, and go live in the world. No, that's not it at all. That's what I used to do, and God told me that my life was a lie on Halloween in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 2014. So go think about that. A lot of Christians are going to be celebrating Halloween this year. So again, God told me my life was a lie when I was doing all of that crazy stuff.

When I say this, don't take me out of context, but we've got to get back to fear. A healthy fear, a reverence, an honor, a respect. And that's what I'm talking about when I say fear. Honor Him, respect Him, revere Him, follow Him, love Him, love what He's created. They're called commandments, but they're just His ways. That's who He is. If we can understand that, that's who He is. That's who His character is. His traits are who He is. And that's who He wants us to be. If one doesn't want to be like that, then one doesn't want to be like God. But I think everybody wants to be, when I say like God, "Be holy because I am holy," is what I'm talking about. How many people want to be holy because He is holy? I want to ask my Christian friends that and my Jewish friends that, both parties. Do you want to be holy because He's holy? There's only one way: follow the commandments, believe in Yeshua, be led by the Holy Spirit.

That's pretty simple to read when you read Genesis to Revelation. Thank you so much. And have a great Shabbat. And I must go. See y'all later. That's funny. Thank you so much. And have a great Shabbat. Have a good night's rest. Okay. A good timing. Haha. Miss Denise, walk in the light as Jesus walked in the light. Our friend Miss Trisha, thank you so much for joining us. We love your little Maltese there. I believe my sister has a Maltese. Actually, he's with us right now. Beautiful dogs. I think that's a Maltese, but anyhow, my sister has a Maltese. They're funny little things. They're stubborn little things, but they're funny. They're funny, funny little dogs. I love them. But boy, they are stubborn and they have a funny personality. Shabbat Shalom. Such a blessing to hear you live and look forward to starting from the beginning later this morning. Blessings to all. Well, thank you so much, Trisha.

Shabbat Shalom to you. Not sure where you guys are right now. Maybe in Europe. If you're in Europe, good morning to you. Book of We, we hope you guys have a beautiful Shabbat ahead. Thank you so much for joining us. It's great to see you live. Such a blessing to hear you live and look forward to starting from the beginning later this morning. Blessings to all. Well, same to you. Thank you so much. Let us be about our Father's business, isn't that right? At 12 years old, Yeshua said, "I'm about my Father's business," because governmental perfection is on His shoulders, as the prophet Isaiah says. Amen. And 2 Chronicles 7:14, and I'll even go a verse before verse 14 to verse 13. And what does it say? "When I bring the plague, COVID, if My people who know My name will repent, humble themselves, and all these things, then He'll heal our land. But if not, He won't. But we have to repent, and we have to understand the trajectory of when I send no rain and when I send the plague, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, pray, and seek My face, then I will hear from heaven.

I will hear their prayers, and I will heal their land." Paraphrasing, of course. But again, how beautiful is that? But we've got to do what it says. We've got to repent. What does repent mean? Repent means to quit doing the things that we need to repent for. If it's paganism, paganism. If it's Christmas, Christmas. If it's Easter, Easter. If it's Kabbalah, Kabbalah. If it's whatever, whatever. So, we just got to repent and follow the written word of God. Be perfect, for He is perfect. That's what the scriptures say, and let our righteousness exceed. That's what He's looking for. He's looking for the postured heart for righteousness and justice, commandments, and standing there. If you go read the prophets, they were all about that. When I say this term, please don't use it like for today because that could go in a lot of different areas, but they were all about justice. I don't want to say social justice because again, people would take that to the left field of today, but they were about justice for the poor, justice for the orphans, justice for the women, justice, justice, justice because there was no justice, just like there is no justice today in the world either.

He's all about that righteousness, justice, especially the prophet Jeremiah. When you go look at that, he was all about justice. If you want to talk social justice or justice for the poor, justice for the unfortunate, justice for people. That's one of the main reasons that Jeremiah said what he said, or excuse me, that God told him to say what he said. And he said it. Pretty hardcore stuff, but he said it. So you all can go read and chew on that for a minute of what the prophet said, but it's tough stuff, especially if you live in Israel because the same things are happening again today. And that's what's so disappointing, that the same things are happening again today. And this time we have our Christian friends with them, doing those things. The Christians are doing the same thing that the Jewish ancestors were doing with the tree worship and the eggs and all that stuff, fertility goddess and all that stuff, tree worship that Jeremiah and Ezekiel said not to do.

From what I understand, from what I see, the Jewish people, the Israelis, and the Jewish people overall are not doing those things that their ancestors were doing. They're doing other things that are not kosher. But again, the tree worship and all that stuff, the pagan gods, as a whole, you don't see that going down. Unfortunately, the Christians are doing that. It's just the craziest thing. So, the Jewish people have hopefully learned from their ancestors not to be a part of the wood and the stone and all this stuff, the images to worship. Because they don't do that. From what I understand, from what I see, the Christians do do that. It's just the weirdest thing, man. This life is so weird sometimes with these kind of things. You know, it's kind of like, you know, the Jewish people don't believe in Yeshua, but they follow the Torah to the best they can. And then you've got the Christians who believe in Jesus but don't follow the Torah.

It's just weird to me for some reason that people can't take the Holy Bible and just read it, Genesis to Revelation, and say, "Okay, great. This is beautiful. Makes perfect sense."

So, anyhow, my friends, I'm just talking out loud now, probably kind of repeating myself a little bit. For we broke bread today. We hunger and thirst for the truth. Amen. And amen and amen. Well, my friends, I think that's gotten to the end of the chats. And if one doesn't have another topic that one wants to talk about, then we will shut it down for the evening. And thank you so much for being with us. We'll be back with you again on either Sunday night or Monday night. Probably Monday night. I don't want to say probably, but it'll be soon, and I'll post it on YouTube. But I believe it'll be one of those nights, and we're going to talk about violence. We're going to talk about violence in the Bible, and that's going with the Torah portion that we have tonight and tomorrow with Noah.

God said twice about violence in the Noah story, and He destroyed it for violence. The world, He flooded the world because of everybody's heart posture towards Him and their neighbor. Nothing's ever changed. Everybody love God, love neighbor. Nothing's ever changed. And they were not loving God. They did not listen to Noah. They weren't loving their neighbor. They were killing each other. Violence everywhere on the earth. And here comes the flood. And Yeshua says, "As the days of Noah will be, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be." So we've got to take every situation in Noah's story and apply it to the end with the Son of Man because that's what He said. So violence would be one of those topics to explore. We're going to explore that topic through Noah, through the biblical prophets, through the judges, through Yeshua, what He said about violence, and also what the other New Testament writers said.

Kind of like tonight, from Genesis to Revelation, what everybody said about violence, and for people to get a very clear understanding of how God looks at violence. Does He use people for violence? Of course, He does. Did He tell King David and Joshua to do what they did? Of course, He did. And we're going to explain that, why He told them that. So, He does use violence for judgment. He does use Israel to defeat the Hittites because the Hittites were given time to repent, and they did not. And they were doing a bunch of wicked stuff. So, God used Israel to judge them. God used Nebuchadnezzar to judge Israel. God used Medo-Persia to judge Babylon. Daniel 5. So again, God uses empires and violence for His purposes, but as an individual, He does not want you to commit violence, and He's not about even violence in general. God is love. You see what I'm saying? So we're going to go through the scriptures.

It's very important. Again, another video I wanted to do for some time. It's really about not the governments, because the governments are going to do what the governments do, but it's really about the people who support these governments and have supported these governments killing innocent people and taking up for that and justifying that and all of this stuff. It's really one of the grossest things I've ever seen as Jewish believers and Christian believers justifying what's been going on in the Middle East. I think that is really, really discouraging in my opinion because they have no clue what they're supporting. Actually, intentionally killing an innocent person is murder. So, there have been too many innocent people intentionally killed in the Middle East from all sides. And whoever sponsors all of these sides are guilty and accomplices of murder because they support this stuff. The Christian Zionists, the Islamists, and the Jewish Zionists, they're okay because too many innocent people, too many Jewish people that are innocent have been killed on October 7th and others.

And then also there are too many Gazans that have been innocent people killed, too many Alawites, Bedouins, you name it. Christians being killed as well in Gaza and Lebanon and all these areas. So again, all of them are guilty of murder. And it's just a shame that a lot of people are associated with these governments because their heart posture is for that as well, which they have a murderous heart in my personal opinion. God says in Psalm 24, "Who can ascend to the hill or the mountain of the Lord? Who can do that?" That's the question. And what does He say? Everybody knows what he says: "Those who have clean hands, not bloody hands, and a pure heart." It's very simple what the scriptures say. That's just one of the many scriptures that you can find about the heart posture of people. So again, it's just for me, and I've lost a few people I've connected with because of my viewpoints on this, but I've been very fair and very balanced with everybody on here: Jews, Muslims, Christians, Alawites, everybody over there.

I say it all together, no partiality whatsoever. All of these people are guilty. I don't want to be associated with none of it because I don't want a murderous heart. I don't want bloody hands. I don't hate the Palestinians, or I hate the Gazans, or I hate Iranians. I hate Iraqis. I don't hate no one. I support Israel. I stand with Israel, but I don't hate the Islamic nations. I love them actually, for them to repent and be saved through Yeshua the Messiah. I love the Chinese. I love the Mexicans. I love the Canadians. I love the Americans. I love all people. Instead of all this racism that we have in these religions of Islam, of Christianity, and Judaism, all three of them have racism in them. From what I've seen, a lot of the Jewish people have racism against the Gazan people and the Arabs. From what I've seen, vice versa, the Gazans against the Israelis. Spirit of hate, brother against brother.

Crazy stuff over there. But that's what they've been doing for 6,000 years. And that's why I tell people all the time, they love this stuff. They love it. They've been doing it for 6,000 years. So, America, wise up. Be smart. We don't, or I don't want this. And I think a lot of Americans don't want all this war stuff either. Let all of these people in the Middle East fight each other. Good gosh. If they want to fight and hate each other this much, just get our money, get our weapons, and don't take America down with you is all I'm trying to ask. And just to support all this crap. America supports all of these people: Israel, Egypt, Arabia, Jordan, Turkey. No, no, no, no, and no. Everybody handle your business and take care of your own country and quit whoring out America for what you want us to do. Goodness, I'm tired of being a Don't aren't you? As a country, of course, please keep me in context, but I'm tired of being a for the Middle East.

And that's what America is, is a for the Middle East. Come get it in America, and we will give you whatever you want to go kill people all you want. What kind of nation have we become? What a sick nation. Given all these weapons for killing all these people in Ukraine and Russia and the Middle East. And if Americans aren't embarrassed with this stuff, boy howdy, wait till it comes to your front step, Americans. And I don't want to hear nothing about nothing. I'm going to ask everybody, where is Trump? Where is Biden? Where is Obama? And where is Bush? Where's the four idols that everybody has that has caused our country to be ramacked by the Islamists? Because you have opened up a can of worms with these people. And if you want a holy war, I promise you they will give you one according to the Holy Bible, and you will not win this. Only the King of Israel will win this. I know that's not very positive.

I know that's not American pride. I know that's not Israeli pride, but that is biblical prophecy. And they are fighting against biblical prophecy, and they will not beat the Islamists. They did not beat the Taliban. They did not beat who are they beating? No one. You're going to beat 500 million people? 500 million Muslims? Does America have that much bombs to murder that many people and kill that many people? We're not righteous enough to do that, number one. And we shouldn't do that, number two. Only the Jewish Messiah can do that. So, I'm not sure what Christians or Jews are thinking, but for me, when I read the Bible and read the prophets, Islam dominates the Middle East like they're doing now, and there's nothing that no one's going to be able to do about it until the Jewish Messiah comes. Israel can fight their hearts out. America, you can fight with them all you want, and you will get the same results as you've gotten in 25 years.

Someone said that I think Einstein said this, right? Who was Jewish. He said this: "Doing the same thing over and over again for a different result is insanity." So, what does that mean? That means we've got a bunch of insane people in America's government and also the followers of this government. And we've got a bunch of insane people in Israel's government who's trying to think that they can do all this stuff and they won't be a Well, how's that going? How's that going again? When you've got one of the superpowers of the world at the time, and the great, one of the greatest military powers of the world right now, America, we're not as great as we were, but one of the best. And when you've got every single bit of munition and bombs and whatever to attack people, and the opposite side, the enemies don't, they don't have this technology. Hamas doesn't have what Israel has. Hezbollah doesn't have what Israel has.

And you still can't beat them. There's a problem. It's called Teshuvah. It's called repentance. It's called quit doing this. Repent, and let the God of Israel take hold of these people, these Hezbollah, Hamas, all these people, Houthis, all these folks. But until they repent, they're just spinning their wheels in the mud, just like the Americans are. Hopefully, President Trump will wise up, and he will get Erdogan involved, get us out of there, and then it is going to get really interesting in the Middle East, and it will be the very end of the age when Turkey gets involved with this because that would be the third kingdom in Daniel out of the four. If one's not familiar with that, Daniel says there are four kingdoms that are going to rise to power at the end of the age. Daniel 2:28, Daniel's statue, or Nebuchadnezzar's statue dream. Everybody's familiar with that. It's all history, what you hear out there.

That is a lie. Daniel 2:28 says that God told Daniel to tell Nebuchadnezzar, "This is what's going to happen at the end of the age, at the latter days," is what he says before he even mentions the statue. So again, I'm going to trust Daniel. I'm going to trust God. He said at the end of the age. Why is that important? Because Nebuchadnezzar did not live at the end of the age. He lived 2,500 years ago, everybody. Nebuchadnezzar lived. That's not the end of the age. Now is. And now you're seeing what you're seeing. Iraq. Babylon fell in 2003. Boom. End of the age. What did Daniel say? Iran's next. Well, look who's next. Iran's been the superpower for 20 years in the Middle East, 23 years. They're about to go down by Turkey. And then who did Daniel say after Iran? Turkey. If you understand, it's not Greece, it's Yavan. That means Turkey. Western coast of Turkey. Look who's next. Turkey. Well, Netanyahu's even said Turkey's next.

The opposition guy's name, Naftali Bennett, said Turkey's next. So again, they're telling you who's next. That's the third kingdom in a row that Daniel said. Iraq 2003, Iran soon, Turkey next, then the 10 kings, then Nebuchadnezzar, Antichrist, whoever you want to call him. So, my friends, that's what I'm trying to say. If we understand this, it's just easy to understand that America is in a very bad position. Now, people don't like to hear this because of the American pride and "go get 'em" and "we're the best, we're number one." We're not number one. Actually, if you can't beat the Taliban, you're not number one. If you can't beat the Houthis, you're not number one. You're not. You're not at all. If you can't beat the Taliban and the Houthi rebels, goodness gracious. So, all this American pride needs to understand that we are in a bad situation because we're fighting against God. What does that mean?

We're fighting against biblical prophecy. That's why Jeremiah 2, Isaiah 30-31, Hosea 4 and 5, the judgment of Israel and their lover America will come to fruition because both countries are being judged right now. There are no victories in sight. That's judgment, everybody. No victories. We're going bankrupt. You're only going to have a three-day war coming up because that's all you can do because you don't have the munitions to go further. I told you my opinion on that. I think Donald Trump's going to go one big blast for three days and do a little political theater, if you will, blow up everything, and say, "Hey, we won. I'm gone." Well, it's good. Come home, even though we didn't win. Come on home. I'm good with that. And let Donald take all the credit that he wants while America continues to go down the gutter because you haven't seen the results of this yet. You have not seen the true results of this yet.

Just like with the Bush situation, it led into the housing crisis and all of these things as well. You haven't seen anything yet. America's about to get humbled. Humbled. And then if we repent, if we turn to God and get out of the Christmas and Easter Sunday Sabbath and start worshiping Him in spirit and in truth, then maybe He will forgive us, and maybe He will leave a blessing behind, just like the prophet Joel says. But until that time, He's going to give America the business, just like He's been giving it. If you're not in America, if you're in any other country, if you're in Europe, if you're in Asia, if you're in Australia, and you're seeing this from not an American standpoint, it is embarrassing. But everybody's seeing America not win anything for 25 years. People are seeing America not being able to handle Iran. People are seeing America not wanting to go against the Houthis that Saudi asked us to.

People are seeing this. China is seeing this. Russia is seeing this. That's why you're seeing what you're seeing. No one is intimidated by the United States anymore. Why would they? We haven't. Why would they be intimidated by the United States? Because of our rhetoric and our threats and all this stuff. People don't understand Islam. They don't understand. These people don't care about that like the Americans do. The Americans get all about rhetoric, rhetoric, rhetoric. The Islamists could care less about that. You think they're intimidated by Donald Trump or Bush or Obama or Biden? You really do? No way. You think these people are intimidated by these people? No way. Look at what's happened. The Taliban ran the United States out of Afghanistan in an embarrassing way, by the way, with Joe Biden. What a memo. And look at Iran. This has been the biggest failure of all is Iran. And whenever the history books come out, you will see that.

And then all the Trump supporters in 20 years from now, they'll look back and be like, "Man, we were hoodwinked by Trump." Well, you think so? Because this is not anything good, everybody. And I'm not trying to be negative. There's no spirit of fear in this. It's to say, "Hey, pay attention. Prepare. Pray to the Lord about preparing for you and your family because what is going to come upon this nation, I don't think anyone has ever experienced it."

Why is that? Is because we have allowed it to get so bubbly, if you will, that when that bubble pops, gosh man. Because all they've done since 2000, they should have let the economy, they should have let everything crash in 2008, 2009. They should have, instead of bailing out these banks, these serpents, these banks, they should have let it fall. And then think about it. It would have been some tough times in '08, '09, 2010, 2011, 20, whatever.

But by 2026, we would have been back on steadier, solid financial stability instead of we don't have financial stability. We're on a house of cards that is about to crumble because all they do, all they did was bail out everybody. It just doesn't work like that, folks. Economics don't work like that. They just don't. And what they've done is just add more and more. So again, now when we fall, it's going to be a harder fall because of what they did in '08 and '09 and quantitative easing and printing all this money. And it's just people look at these politicians as smart people. They're really not. Well, they are in a way because they're serpents and vipers, and they're getting all this kickbacks and all this money. So they're the ones. Actually, they're smarter than we are. They're the ones who's ripping us off, and we're not understanding this as a nation. We're just not. We've got too many people still in politics, still under, still want to get ripped off by all of the government officials, Republican and Democrat, and all of these lobbyists out here, including Israel's.

All lobbyists need to get out of our country. Out, out, gone. And keep our money in America. America for us. Not for anyone else. All of them.

Including Israel, all of them. Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Israel, Turkey. How about Georgia? How about Florida? How about California? How about Texas? How about New York? Or wherever you're from? Instead of all these billions of dollars of your tax dollars going to craziness in Ukraine, Russia, think about how much billions of dollars could be spent in the United States of America: infrastructure, roads, schools, paying our teachers more. People must hate America if they don't understand this. They're too much into politics or their idolatry. They can't see the deception that these people are doing. The American citizens, we are the stupidest citizens on the earth if we don't stop this. If we don't stop these politicians for sending all this money, our soldiers, and our weapons to Ukraine and the Middle East. Let these people go at it on their own. If they can't, they need to shut their mouths and try to get along with the other side, whoever that is: Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Palestinians, Iran, whoever.

Shut up and try to get along with people, instead of trying to conquer everything. Until the American citizens wake up and understand that, it's just going to be judgment, judgment, and more judgment on us as the American citizens. The politicians are going to be fine. Do you think the presidents are going to be fine with all their riches? Donald Trump has made about two to three billion dollars since he's been in office. How are the Americans doing? All these Trump supporters are deceived. All these Biden supporters are deceived. Obama supporters are deceived. Bush supporters are deceived. Where are you now? $40 trillion in debt. Where's Bush at right now? Billions of dollars. Where's Obama right now? Hundreds of millions of dollars. Where's Biden now? Hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions. Where's Donald at now? Two or three billion more. Where are you now? Where's the American economy now?

The Trump supporters have been deceived more than probably any other supporters ever because of the rhetoric that we're hearing out of the mouth of the government, of the politicians, before they were elected. They have done the exact opposite of what they said they were going to do with foreign wars. I could care less what good this government does here in America. It does not matter. It matters what you're doing over there because judgment is coming from over there. Whenever you're spending billions of dollars in the Middle East trying to defeat Iran, which you will not defeat them, what are you doing? This is not a good situation at all. It's really bad when you look at it. If we don't get out of this, we've got a long road ahead for recovery. No matter if we get out tomorrow, we've got a long road ahead because people are going to be astonished when they see the figures of the amount of money we spent on this Iranian thing.

You know what that's going to cause? It's going to cause the people to turn away from Israel. It's going to cause people to be anti-Semitic. The hunters will come to America because people are going to be hurt so much by the economics, they're going to turn against the Jewish people. Please understand Jeremiah 16. I've written about this in 2018, and my opinion is only stronger that America has made so many bad decisions in the Middle East and also with the elections of the Islamists in America, that the Jewish people are in a bad position over here. It's pretty obvious that any ethnic group, including the Jewish people, would be under pressure. It's only going to get worse because Jeremiah's prophecy will come to fruition. He's going to send the fishermen to fish the Jewish people back. 1948, 1949, 1950, the Law of Return: 4 million Jewish people plus have made aliyah to Israel. Then what does he say afterwards?

The fishermen, once they've been released for some time afterwards, the hunters are going to come and they're going to hunt them from every rock, every mountain, and from everywhere they are. That's not good. That means the Islamists are going to have their way against the Jewish people across the world, or whoever the other hunters are in the world: the rednecks, the skinheads, the Nazis, whoever you want to call it. That's why the government needs to be careful. Both America's and Israel's. Israel's government doesn't understand that they've caused a lot of anti-Semitism across the world because of their behavior in Gaza. Now, the Jewish people are being affected all over the world because of the Israeli government. There are a lot of Jewish people I listen to that are not for this at all. Most American Jews that I've listened to, and a lot of rabbis, especially in New York, they're not for this Zionist stuff.

They're not for Israel to do all this stuff because they know the Torah, they understand the scriptures. Unfortunately, the Israeli government does not. But a lot of rabbis, especially ones in New York, I've listened to a lot of them to get more educated on the way they look at Judaism versus Zionism. I've been doing a lot of studies on that. The way that the Jewish people, rabbis that are not Zionist, why aren't they Zionist? I know why they're not, but I just like to hear it from a lot of angles and be educated from all different people to understand that. There are the rabbis and the Orthodox and people in New York who are not for this at all because they understand the Torah. I just don't think that people in America know how bad it's about to get and that they have been manipulating the oil markets, the stock market, and all this stuff. The average American citizen is really struggling right now.

The housing market is not good at all. There have been about 500,000 agents who have gotten out of the business in the last couple of years. That's factual. It has to do with AI and all this stuff as well. All I'm trying to say is people think it is negative. It's not negative at all. It's just trying to understand what these idiots are doing in the world. They're trying to do what they do: separate the elite from the average person. That's why you had COVID. That's why you're about to have another plague because they're trying to depopulate the world. That's pretty obvious with all of the vaccines, the COVID, the foods. They're trying to kill everybody. So, just be careful with all these people. We've got to get smarter. The American people have been absolutely just pimped out to all these other nations for war, war, and war. The American taxpayer has been pimped out. Your tax dollars have been pimped to Ukraine, to the Middle East, all of them, including Israel.

Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Syria with the terrorists in charge now. Lebanon. Handle your own business. We are not mother cow. Get off the tit. Do your own thing. I've seen enough of this for 25 years, and this is one of the worst that we've seen: this Iran thing. Everybody that I know that's in prophecy could have, in my personal opinion, gone up to President Trump and said, "Trump, here's the evidence. Do not do this." Everybody that I've worked with knew that this was a stupid decision because of the Hormuz Strait. Mark Davidson, who wrote "Daniel Revisited," said that they would close the Hormuz Strait, and he was exactly correct. The prophecy teachers who know what's going on should be advising the president, not these yo-yos that just want war and have no clue about biblical prophecy. The president needs to get Turkey involved, get out of the way, get the soldiers back, shut up, and get the business back going in the United States of America.

Will that happen? From what a lot of people think, there's going to be one more little explosion for about three days because we don't have the munitions to go longer. Then call victory. I have a problem with them dropping all the bombs because a lot of innocent people are going to suffer. It will be civilian infrastructure that they hit. If they don't do that, they'll probably just hit Pickaxe Mountain with a Moab or something and say, "Hey, we ruined their nuclear program," which you did not. Iran will have a nuclear weapon because they will destroy Saudi Arabia with that at the end of the age. All of this rhetoric is just false, as normal, just false. No one's going to defeat Iran but Turkey. That's Daniel 8. It's for the end of the age. That's it. And that's why you've seen America and Israel fall. For Israel, that is biblical prophecy because that's Daniel 10. The angel came and said that he was going to fight the kingdom of Persia.

He was fighting the kingdom of Persia. Then he came to Daniel and said, "Now I've got to go back and fight the kingdom of Persia again, twice." Well, they fought twice, and then they'll continue to fight until everybody runs out of money and weapons, which we're almost there. Someone told me, I read a report today, that it would take us to 2030 to get our THAAD missiles back to the level that we need because you just can't make those overnight. It would take us up to 2030 to get back to our capabilities of our missile program or our THAAD system. America's on fumes right now with the missiles and the munitions. That's why you haven't seen a lot of this stuff going on because we just don't have the missiles. The last three or four weeks, it's been quieter than it was. Trump's looking for a way out, which I would be as well. Hopefully, he will get out. Let him call victory. Let him do whatever.

Who cares? He's going to do what he wants and say what he wants. Everybody knows that this was a major defeat of the American Empire when you have 13 to 15 military bases totally destroyed. You can go look at the satellite images on all of those that do not lie like the politicians do. This has been a very big embarrassment. No other president has allowed 15 air bases to be destroyed. This has been a disaster. This has been poor planning. Iran has strategically defeated us tremendously. The Houthis are taking Saudi Arabia like a ragdoll. Our side is not faring too well. Saudi Arabia is our side. We are allies with them, and they're getting rolled by the Houthis. The Gulf nations allies: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait. Target practice, man. Iran has destroyed all of them. Go do your research on this stuff. How about the base in Jordan? Esau. We've got a base over there as well, and Iran's lit that up as well.

That's the latest one that they've lit up is the one in Jordan. Hopefully, this will get America out of the Middle East, and then you will see a lot of things change for America if we repent. It's not just one thing, but the Middle East wars are really bad for America. $40 trillion was in all the wars. It's been about 10 to 12 trillion, and then, I believe personally, judgment for the remaining of it. 10 to 12 trillion in wars, and then judgment with the housing market in 2008, 2004 forward, quantitative easing, printing money, more judgment, judgment, judgment. Now we're at $40 trillion in debt. People don't realize how much debt these presidents have put on us. President Trump's put on just as much as anybody of the $40 trillion, maybe more than anybody. To give credit, he did have to deal with COVID. Other presidents didn't have to deal with that. But people expected him to do better with the debt and the budget because he is a businessman.

Factually speaking, he has not. All four of these men have failed tremendously: Bush, Obama, Biden, and now the Donald has failed tremendously. When I say the Donald, please don't take that personal. I like to say that's what his ex-wife called him. I just always thought it was hilarious. Let us be one pure nation. One nation under Yah. We got to get back to that. May we fully submit to God and Jesus Christ in America and the world. The remnant will for sure. Come out of Babylon. The whole world is in the Babylonian system. Come out. Do not be conformed to this world. Live a set-apart life. Consecrate. Pray and fast and live purely. Shalom to you. Thank you so much for joining us. Have a nice Shabbat. We hope you have a great Shabbat and have a great weekend. Bush was 2001, not 1991. The Afghanistan war lasted a long time. It was hardly get in, get out. It was extended, and Dick Cheney profited because of his company Halliburton that fed the troops.

Yes. When I was talking about 1991, I was talking about Daddy Bush, George Herbert Walker Bush, in 1991, went over to Kuwait when Saddam Hussein invaded. They took care of business in 1991. In 2001, Bush went into Afghanistan. If I misspoke, please forgive me, but Daddy Bush, Herbert Walker Bush, was 1991. General Schwarzkopf. That's when we had real generals that knew what was going down and could handle business. They went over there and handled business in Kuwait. Then, yes, 2001, Afghanistan. Yes, long time, 20 years, $4 trillion, 3 to 4,000 soldiers died. A lot of innocent civilians died in Afghanistan. It was hardly get in, get out. It was extended by Dick Cheney, who's no longer with us. He profited because his company Halliburton fed the troops. All of this was a scam back then, just like it is now. Nothing but a scam. Veritas, odium parit. Babylon, question mark. Who is Babylon?

If spiritually speaking, the whole world is Babylon, including the United States, including Israel. The whole world is a Babylonian system. Babylon in general is the Iraq area. Mystery Babylon, in my personal opinion, is Saudi Arabia because Isaiah 21 says, "Babylon is fallen." Babylon is fallen, which is what Revelation 17 and 18 says. You have to match those together. It's talking about Arabia being destroyed by Persia. "Rise up, O Elam, Iran. Besiege, O Media, against the Arabians." If you look at the rest of the passage, all of those names are in Saudi Arabia. That's for the end of the age. That has never been done before. You will see it, or if we're here on this earth at that time, we will see it happen. Historically, Babylon is the Iraq area. Mystery Babylon in Revelation 17-18, in my personal opinion, is Saudi Arabia. Spiritually speaking, Babylon is the entire world because of what we're seeing in every nation on this earth.

Babylon was in the Middle East and it's spoken of in the Old Testament. It is the system the world acclimated to, not our Father's system. That is exactly right. Good night. See you Monday. Thank you, and have a great evening. It's about 1:30 Eastern Standard Time. The nuance is that while many of us are not for Zionism, we are concerned that we will lose the land altogether if we yield to something else. I agree with that. I'm all for Israelis defending themselves. I just don't think that they will conquer. I think they're out of alignment there. I wish we could stay biblical and the Abrahamic covenant and Mosaic covenant, talk about covenants only instead of the isms and all these things. Zionism gets confusing to what people truly believe. If it's talking about the Abrahamic covenant, I'm all for it. But we should call it the Abrahamic covenant, right? So I'm totally with you on that.

The nuance is that while many of us are not for Zionism, we are concerned that we will lose the land altogether if we yield to something else. I can understand that. Revelation 18:4, Babylon. Ideally, it should be a faithful country, nothing else. That's exactly right. And that's why we try to do what we do. People do get offended, but I love the Jewish people. I stand with the Jewish people and the Israelis. I stand with man. I love mankind. We've got to get back to spirit and the truth. Jews and Christians, we got to get back to it because both parties are out of alignment with these things. That's why we're seeing the Islamists come against us: God's going to use the Islamists to purify us, to refine us. Don't focus on the government, man. The government's got too much pride. Get back to Yah. Get back to Yeshua. Get back to doing you in the land of Israel, and let the government do what they do.

God will handle the government. For the citizens of Israel, the government's putting them in a bad situation, or at least they're not helping the situation. They're not helping the Israelis at all. They're putting the Israelis and the Jewish people across the world in a lot of anti-Semitic stuff. People are hating the Jewish people because of what the Israeli government is doing. Whether people agree or not agree with it, that is factual. It's causing a lot of anti-Semitism across the world with our Jewish friends. I've got Jewish family. We're not living in the 80s or the 90s anymore in America. We're living with a country that is turning anti-Semitic very quickly. A poll came out, and 60%, 63% of people in America have more sympathy for the Palestinians than the Israelis. That's never happened before. I love all people, but that's never been done before. Everybody has always leaned towards Israel more than any.

Whenever you see polls start to change, you see protests, you see all this stuff. To be quite frank, Israel has done some wrong, a lot of wrong over in Gaza with a lot of innocent people. They have not done themselves any favors. The problem I've got with the Israeli government is there seems to be no heart posture when they do make a mistake. They should be more heart-postured towards sympathy instead of not. Ben Gvir, Smotrich: Some of this rhetoric coming out is giving the world an understanding that this government is racist or they want to kill all the Gazans and the Palestinians. That's what it looks like. When you hear Ben Gvir talk, when you hear Smotrich talk, I've never heard any Israeli politician talk like that personally. I don't agree with that. To burn all of Lebanon? To get rid of all the Arabs out of the land? Who in the world says that? It makes them look racist, and it makes who they represent look racist.

I cringe when I see this man talk. I'm not for him at all. I'm not for Smotrich at all. They believe in "only Jewish people only." They don't care about anybody else but themselves. I've got a problem with that. I love all people. I love Jews. I love Americans. I love Gentiles. Everybody, Jews and Gentiles. I love all of them. For anybody representing the Israeli government to say what these men have said, I find that a disgrace. And I find more of a disgrace of Netanyahu because he has cow-towed to these men. I don't think he's as radical as they are. I think he politically had to get these two men on his cabinet so that he could be in charge. Netanyahu will sell himself for a minute to be in charge of Israel for sure. He'll sell himself for sure. In my opinion, I don't hear the rhetoric out of him as much as Ben Gvir and Smotrich. These two men are bad representatives for the state of Israel.

The issue is who's getting these people under control? Netanyahu should tell these people to cool it down with the rhetoric. That's the problem: no one's getting these people under control because it's making Israel look bad. It makes people like me who love Israel look bad because it makes me think I support all that stuff, which I don't. But I still love Israel and I still love the Jewish people. It is one heck of a balance with Israel these days because of the Israeli government acting like a bunch of fools over there, acting like the enemy. America and Israel are acting like the Islamists. We should be better than that. We should have more character than that. We should not succumb to go lower in the gutter with the Islamists. We have to overcome evil with good. Yes, go kill all the terrorists. But goodness gracious, the rhetoric coming out on all the people over there, that would include Christians, everybody.

Gaza has a lot of Christians. The churches have been blown up. It's just not a good look for the Israeli government, and for anyone who supports them, if one has a heart posture for God and mankind and love for mankind, and not just "go kill everybody that's not a Jew and a Christian." That's what it looks like. Give me a break. It's just a love people. These governments are way out of alignment. All of them: the Islamists, America, Israel. They're all just out of alignment, which we knew that was going to happen if you read the prophets, the Gospels, what Yeshua said: kingdom against kingdom, ethnic group against ethnic group. He's talking about the Middle East. For most have committed adultery against who is faithful and true. Let us be faithful to the end and endure. Amen. Amen. Amen. It's what the prophet Joel says. The attack was on Shabbat. Also, the Shmini Atzeret was on Shabbat as well.

Israel didn't attack on Shabbat. They were attacked on Shabbat, Shmini Atzeret, and then a couple days later, they attacked. So, I stand corrected on that. Thank you for your clarity on that. The attack on Iran was on Shabbat, which again, is not going to go well. Thank you for that clarification. Postured heart. I love all people. For much I love our Creator, myself, so I love. That's right. For we are all made in the image and likeness of our Creator, but against the stinky thinking and wicked ways of people. Amen. Amen. Thank you very much for that clarification. That was the one I was talking about was the Iranian thing. The Iranian thing is just not good. It is Daniel 10. It is biblical prophecy. If people would go read what Daniel said in Daniel 10, Daniel was sick to his stomach. He was sick. He had no power in himself. Daniel was not celebrating. He was not like, "Yes, we've got the victories." He was sick to his stomach of what was going to happen to his people that he loved.

Daniel 8, the same thing. He's sick to his stomach. Read how the prophet felt. When we have dreams or visions, part of the understanding is how we feel during the dream. Well, Daniel had the visions of what was going to happen to his people, and he was sick to his stomach. Daniel 10 talks about the wars between Persia and Israel. The archangel Gabriel came to Daniel and said that he was fighting the prince of Persia. Then he came to Daniel because Daniel fasted for 21 days. He went back and said, "I've got to go fight the kingdom of Persia again." And then the kingdom of Javan will come: Turkey. That's where you are, at the very end of Daniel 10, where Javan's about to come and crush Iran. The angel was fighting for Israel, obviously. In Daniel 10, he came to Daniel, "I'm fighting the prince of Persia." He fought, it says twice. He came to Daniel and he went back and fought again. We've got to understand that Daniel was sick.

Daniel gives you the out, the kingdoms in order of the end of the age, which you've seen, which we've talked about for 12 years. You're seeing that, and he was sick to his stomach because of what was going to happen to his people. At the end of Daniel 8 is the time of Jacob's trouble. It talks about Antichrist or Nebuchadnezzar coming against the Jewish people, the pride broken, and all this bad stuff. Well, that's not bad. Pride broken, but a lot of bad stuff's going to happen. We've got to understand how the prophets felt in the vision. Daniel was not celebrating this. He knew it was going to be a great conflict. Go look at the Iran-America-Israel war now: great conflict, a lot of bad stuff. The global economy is basically hanging by a thread because of Iran, Israel, and America. No wonder the nations hate us because of what we're doing. We're taking down the global economy. Three countries basically.

Now you've got the Houthis involved. Now you've got Arabia involved. I read a report on Egypt: El-Sisi told the Egyptians, basically Isaiah 19, "We need to come together. We cannot be divided. This is a bad situation." He said, "This is going to be real ugly." He said, "We are ready. We are prepared. Not that we want to get involved, but we are prepared." El-Sisi, the quiet general, is about to be a loud general according to biblical prophecy. A lot of people are looking for Israel and Egypt to hook horns. I'm not sure if that will happen or not. What I do know will happen is Daniel 11: Egypt and Turkey will fight each other, and Turkey will win that war. You're going to see Turkey go against Iran and rock and roll them. That's Daniel 8. Turkey will rage at them, stomp them, crush them, and there will be no one that can get Iran out of Turkey's hand. Turkey will rock them over in Iran. People will be happy about that, but it's not really happiness because Turkey will come against Israel as well, eventually.

But they're going to hit Iran and they're going to hit Egypt, and they will win both of them. Turkey will win these. Something to think about. You're going to see Turkey control the Middle East. Every general, colonel, CIA guy, professor, or anyone who keeps up with the geopolitics of the Middle East that is not political, they will tell you that the Turks will rule the 2030s. That lines up against the seven-year cycle. I'm not saying we're going to step into the tribulation in three years. These next three years will tell the tale. That's common sense. The next three years is really how Turkey gets involved in this. Turkey is the worst country at the end. Ezekiel 38 is Turkey first. Until you see Turkey get involved in this thing and crush Iran, they're not the superpower of the Middle East. They took over Syria, and that's big because they ran Iran out of Syria. Iran had control of Syria with Assad.

That's no longer. Now you've got terrorists involved in Syria, and you've got America and Turkey supporting this guy. What did Bashar al-Assad say when he took over Syria two years ago? "We have two enemies beside Bashar Assad: Hezbollah and Iran." Isn't that interesting? Syria is right on the border. Turkey is right there. Iran used to have all the influence in Syria and they would give weapons through Syria to Hezbollah, through Iraq, through Syria, etc. Now Turkey has overtaken that. His two enemies are Hezbollah and Iran. If the Iranian militias in Iraq invade Kuwait, then I believe Turkey will get involved and go through here because there's a port right here, an Iraqi port, that's got an oil pipeline that's going from Iraq, Syria, Turkey to Europe. This is where Daniel saw the vision in Daniel 8: in Elam. Some people include Kuwait in Elam. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying Elam's right here.

That's where Daniel saw the vision. He was in the vision, and he saw the ram by the river Ulai in Susa. He's telling you where the war is going to begin because of where he saw the vision in Elam. If the Iranian militias attack Kuwait, or if the Houthis attack Kuwait, then you're going to see the Sunnis rise up against the Shia. The Shia are Iran, the Houthis, the Shia militias, Hezbollah. Sunni nations: Turkey, Syria is Sunni, Jordan is Sunni, Iraq is overall Sunni with a Shia government. Sunni is Arabia, Egypt, Libya, Sudan. You're going to see the Sunni nations be the strong part of the beast kingdom, and Iran and Shia militias be the brittle part of it. If they invade Kuwait, that will be the biggest mistake that Iran has made to this point because I believe Turkey will come and rock them. They will get in the way of this pipeline that's going to give the dollars, the money, to all of these nations, and Turkey is going to be one of the major partners of it.

There's also a pipeline here, the Zohr corridor, that Turkey is involved in. Iran doesn't want that because they're cut out of the money of the pipeline. The pipelines are going to go with biblical prophecy. Arabia's east-west pipeline has already been blown offline. If they invade Kuwait, you could possibly see that Daniel 8 war come because that's where he saw the vision right there. What I was trying to say with Turkey: they took over Syria with Sherara two years ago in November. That's a Turkish state right now. Iran used to have all the influence in Syria and they would give weapons through Syria to Hezbollah, through Iraq, through Syria, etc. Now Turkey has overtaken that. His two enemies are Hezbollah and Iran. If the Iranian militias in Iraq invade Kuwait, then I believe Turkey will get involved and go through here because there's a port right here, an Iraqi port, that's got an oil pipeline that's going from Iraq, Syria, Turkey to Europe.

This is where Daniel saw the vision in Daniel 8: in Elam. Some people include Kuwait in Elam. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying Elam's right here. That's where Daniel saw the vision. He was in the vision, and he saw the ram by the river Ulai in Susa. He's telling you where the war is going to begin because of where he saw the vision in Elam. If the Iranian militias attack Kuwait, or if the Houthis attack Kuwait, then you're going to see the Sunnis rise up against the Shia. The Shia are Iran, the Houthis, the Shia militias, Hezbollah. Sunni nations: Turkey, Syria is Sunni, Jordan is Sunni, Iraq is overall Sunni with a Shia government. Sunni is Arabia, Egypt, Libya, Sudan. You're going to see the Sunni nations be the strong part of the beast kingdom, and Iran and Shia militias be the brittle part of it. If they invade Kuwait, that will be the biggest mistake that Iran has made to this point because I believe Turkey will come and rock them.

They will get in the way of this pipeline that's going to give the dollars, the money, to all of these nations, and Turkey is going to be one of the major partners of it. There's also a pipeline here, the Zohr corridor, that Turkey is involved in. Iran doesn't want that because they're cut out of the money of the pipeline. The pipelines are going to go with biblical prophecy. Arabia's east-west pipeline has already been blown offline. If they invade Kuwait, you could possibly see that Daniel 8 war come because that's where he saw the vision right there.

But when you read Daniel 8, it says, "I saw the ram by the river and the goat came to crush him by the Uli River." Now, to be consistent and fair, the Uli River goes from the borderline all the way up to where Azerbaijan and Armenia are. He said he was in the province of Susa, which is right there. That's why I tell people it's not up here.

Now you have an Iraqi port with a lot of money and oil going through it. They're talking about invading Kuwait and taking their oil. That would really not be good for Turkey. They are the only ones who have the power to do it, and biblical prophecy will tell you Turkey will defeat Iran. Militarily speaking, they are the only ones with the power to go there and do it besides China, and China is not going to invade Iran; they are allies. So Turkey is the only country that is not an ally of Iran that could go over there and crush them.

In my personal opinion, India is not an ally, but they are not an enemy either. Pakistan is not an ally, but they are not an enemy either. So again, Turkey, when you see these guys get involved and start to move, then you will see it.

Another important thing is that they have pushed the Kurdish people from here to over there. Turkey and Syria have done this. The Kurdish people, whom Turkey hates, were really over here, like where Aleppo is. They have been pushed from the Euphrates over. Turkey wants to push them further over because they are in northern Iraq as well. The Kurdish people are about right in here. Kurdistan, or whatever.

So, that's very important to understand. But this Kuwait situation, if it's true, is very important to keep up with. That would be the biggest mistake that Iran would make strategically, because that would get Turkey involved with America. America would support Turkey for sure as NATO partners. So that would be very, very interesting, my friends, to see that. We'll just have to wait and see.

Thank you for that. I didn't mean to go through that tonight, but it's been five, six hours. If October was also Shabbat, what a back-to-back. Shmini Atzeret was on Shabbat that year. That's when Israel was attacked. I don't think Israel attacked back. I think they cleared up the territory of the land, but I don't think they went into Gaza until maybe a week later, or five days later. So it could have been on Shabbat the next week or something, but I'd have to research that. The bottom line is bad stuff all around.

Always a blessing to listen in. Good to see you, my brother. Shalom to Heather. Thank you so much for listening in and joining us. We really appreciate it. We hope all is well in Alaska, and I hope you have a great weekend and a great Shabbat.

We are at the feet of Daniel's dream, the statue. We are in the time frame where iron is mixed with clay. Next comes the smashing of the feet. Daniel's 70th week of prophecy.

My friends, thank you very much for being with us tonight. We really appreciate it. However long everyone has been with us, it's been five and a half hours. We've had a grand time as always. Thank you so much for joining us. However long you've been with us, we hope you guys have a great Shabbat tomorrow. We'll be back with you Sunday night or Monday night, depending on the schedule. I'll know more probably tomorrow night or Sunday morning. We look forward to seeing you there on the subject of violence, from Genesis to Revelation, and how God looks at violence in the Bible, how He uses violence, but also how He opposes violence at times.

Please stay with us for that. We'd love to see everybody on that. It's an important topic, especially when we see all the violence that's going on in the world, to not be caught up into those things. Yeshua never said to be caught up in violence. He actually said to love your enemy for the true, perfected heart posture. We hope to see you guys there and we hope everybody has a great Shabbat.

Until that time, my friends, may God bless you. May He keep you. May His face shine upon you and give you His grace. May He lift up His countenance upon you and your family and give you His everlasting shalom. In Hebrew, "Yevarechecha Adonai Veyishmerecha. Ya'er Adonai Panav Eilecha Viyichuneka. Yissa Adonai Panav Eilecha Veyiten Lecha Shalom." In the name above every other name, Yeshua HaMashiach, the Seed of David, the Seed of Abraham, the Light of the world, the Hope of the world, the Glory of Israel, the Light to the Gentiles, and the One who was, and is, and who is to come, in His precious name. Amen. Amen. And amen. Thank you very much, everybody. We'll see you here soon. God bless you guys. Shabbat shalom.

Thank you for me.

Move me along the floodwaters to higher ground.

Lord, got me in Your arms so I don't lose my crown.

Forever I'll rest in Your arms, safe and sound.

Oh, forever I'll rest in Your arms, safe and sound.

Oh, safe and sound.
