Works, Deeds, and Holy Days

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.
