You Are the Light of the World

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.
