America's Judgment, God Hates Violence, and Mercy

He did divine judgment, of course, but he still had blood on his hands. And that's the reason why God told him He wasn't going to build the temple. Okay? Because God doesn't want this. Okay? Even though He used David, of course, King David's King David, but He still told David what He told him about building the temple, his house, that he had blood on his hands. That's again, it's not a condemnation of David. It's just the understanding of God and violence, how He looks at it and blood, you know. The blood, you know. Okay? So, it's very important. Amen. Okay. Mr. Denise, "Like the days of Noah, so shall be the days of the coming of the Son of Man." And that means everything. Excuse me, violence, corruption, political corruption, all of these things that were going on in Noah's days, we're seeing the same thing today. And again, that's why we're seeing the world spin out of control. The world is more out of control now than ever before.

I think we should all agree with that. And again, the days of Noah come to mind, just like our friend here said. Postured Heart, great to see you. Shabbat shalom to you. Hope you have a great Sabbath, great weekend, and we hope you had a great week. And as always, great to see you. Love your icon. And that's what it's all about: the light and love. The light of the world and the love of Him through all of us to be the great commission to the Jew first, and then to the Gentile, in Romans 1:16. And Shabbat shalom to you, my friend. Thank you so much again for joining us. Okay. Vegan Church Service, Jesus says, Matthew 12:7, and this is the one I had from the previous conversation: "But if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice,' you would not condemn the guiltless." So again, the Pharisees were accusing Yeshua's disciples of violating the Shabbat because they were plucking grain to eat while they were walking through the field.

So He again quoted Hosea 6:6, showing that the Pharisees misunderstood the heart position of God's commandments. That's why I keep saying He's the living Torah. He's the word made flesh. That's what John says in John 1. Why? Because He taught, He's the word of God. Okay? He spoke it out to Moses. He's the mediator between heaven and earth to explain these things. Okay? And He gave us a deeper revelation. You're talking about, you know, how some of the Orthodox or the ultra-Orthodox will talk about the oral Torah or, okay, the Talmud. Well, Yeshua explains it perfectly. We don't need the Talmud to understand these things because Yeshua explains it perfectly, just like He did in Matthew 12:7, about adultery, about murder, about all these things. He explained these things to us because He is the word of God. He is the word made flesh. He is the living Torah. And amen to that. And Mr. Denise, Matthew 12:7, again: "If you had only known what these words mean, 'I do desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent." Amen to that.

Okay. Postured Heart, "All praises to the Almighty who holds our life and our soul." Amen. And Miss Denise, "Love God and love everyone." Very simple. And Dr. Alba, great to see you. Shabbat shalom to you. We hope all has been well, and we hope you've had a great week and hope you have a better Shabbat and weekend. Always great to see you. And she says, "Without a circumcised heart, we cannot love our neighbors." I mean, that's so biblical, you know. So again, my friends, it's just everywhere, everywhere we look in the scriptures, and also the scriptures that you guys have pulled out as well, it tells us to love people. Okay? Love mankind, you know. And that's why I say everybody loves to get tribal. Everybody likes to be in their tribes because they feel so comfortable. But God says this, and you guys can correct me and show me where this scripture is because I don't know exactly where the address is that Yeshua says this, but He says this according to love.

And I... I should have put this into the video, into the teaching, but He says this. He talks about loving your family, loving your friends. And He says, "What reward do you have?" He says, "Doesn't the hypocrites even do that?" I think that's what He says. And He says, like, then the perfected love is to love your enemy. Okay? I mean, everybody can love their family, everybody can love their friends, everybody can love whatever. But can you love Islamists? Can you love Buddhists? Can you love atheists? Can you love people who don't believe what you believe? Can you? Because that's what He says. Okay, let me try to find that for you. If one doesn't know that address off the top of your head, let me just ask this, and maybe it'll tell us where in the gospel accounts where Yeshua tells us that if we love our own people, we... I mean, what good does it do that even the hypocrites do that, that we should love our enemy and all these things?

What scripture is that? Okay. So again, Matthew 5, and the Sermon on the Mount. Matthew 5:43-48. And this is what it says. If you don't mind me reading this to you, I think it's very important. And again, I should have put this in the teaching. "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you..." Now, this is the Master. He says to all of us, "To love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. He blesses the evil people just like He does the righteous people." Okay, that's just who He is. "For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?" Some say the hypocrites do the same.

Verse 47: "And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do that?" Verse 48: "Therefore, you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect." Isn't that amazing? Okay, this is Luke's version. Luke 6:32 through 33. Same thing, just Luke's version. "But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even the hypocrites do the same, the sinners do the same." And it goes back to our friend who connected all this together, Hosea 6:6, Vegan Church Service is the one who brought this together. This connects directly to what Hosea said, okay? Yahweh desires mercy. And Yeshua teaches that mercy must extend beyond our friends, beyond our families, and those who treat us well. In Luke 6:36: "Therefore, be merciful, just as your Father in heaven is merciful." So again, my friends, I mean, that is very powerful for all of us to really understand that we cannot be like the hypocrites.

We cannot be that way. He tells us again to love people who don't love us, love people who persecute us, just like the prophets, right? So again, perfected love is that, you know. And that's something that for me, I've been trying to really work on personally, you know, just my personal journey is perfected love. You know, what does that... what is that? What does perfected love mean? You know, perfected love for me means what we just read, you know, to love everybody, and especially the people who don't love me, you know, who hate me or whatever it may be. Still to love them. And I've had, you know, I've had to overcome these things, you know, because it's easy to love people who love you, right? But those people who disagree with you, those people who might not love you at all, those people who hate you for what you say or what you do or whatever it may be. It's loving those people and overcoming evil with good, you know.

So that's something I'm just being honest with you guys personally that I've been really thinking about and meditating on is perfected love. What does that mean, Chadwick? Perfected love. Perfect love. Perfect love means to love everybody. No matter if they want to chop your head off, no matter if they want to do whatever, love them just like Yeshua did. "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." Okay? I mean, again, the examples are all throughout the Bible, the way that the person who loves Yeshua should behave. Okay? The person who loves the Father should behave, the heart posture should behave. And we've got too many of us, I used to be one of them, I can admit that, who wanted the enemy to be dealt with. Okay? And again, I can admit that I was one of them. And again, yes, I want righteous judgment to prevail for sure, divine judgment to prevail for sure. But He's corrected me tremendously with my heart posture.

I've always loved people. I've always loved everybody. But still, I can admit that I was a little bit too one-sided with some of these things, with the scriptures, with the revenge and the vengeful stuff like that. And I can admit that because I was wrong with that heart posture. If I can't love the terrorists enough to tell them to repent instead of wanting to kill them, then I'm not doing my job. No, the government, go kill them. Go do whatever you want to, whatever. But, and I don't agree with it, but whatever. Okay, I can see someone's understanding of that as righteous justice on this earth. But for me, if I can't love a terrorist enough to get them to repent and talk to them in love so that their soul can go to eternal life, then I've got a problem. Okay? Most people won't agree with what I just told you. Okay? But I believe that people who want people just to be dealt with all the time, okay, that our heart posture is not where it needs to be.

Our heart posture needs to be towards eternal life. Because I've said this before, and maybe this would make sense. Paul was a terrorist. Everybody, the Apostle Paul, Shaul the rabbi, was a terrorist. Okay? Stephen, he watched him being killed. He was going to go get Christians from Damascus until he had his event, you know, with the Messiah. So, we've got to really understand this. There's a lot of Islamists that I see on social media with reputable sources that they're coming to Yeshua. They're having dreams about Yeshua. There's some wives of the terrorists having dreams about Yeshua, visions about Yeshua. They're coming. They're crossing over. My friends, when it all comes down, it's about eternal life. When it all comes down, it's not about all this stuff we're fighting about. It's about eternal life. Let these governments fight each other, whatever. And they will, okay? They've been fighting each other for 5,000 years, and they will continue.

I promise you. And it's only going to get worse. These people hate each other. Okay? But let them hate each other. We've got to love these people. All of them. Because guess what? Most people in the Middle East are not believers in Yeshua. People need to realize this. Most of the Jewish people are not believers in Yeshua. Of course, the Islamists and the Muslims are not believers in Yeshua. That's the majority of the Middle East, everybody. So whenever you see people die over there, then most of them are going to hell because they don't believe in Yeshua. You understand? So again, for me, that's just where I am. Okay? Most of these people in the Middle East, they are not believers. So that's just where my heart posture is for them. If they're Jews, if they don't believe in Jesus, they're still going to hell. It doesn't matter if they're Jews or not. Okay? So again, the Jew and the Gentile over there needs to repent and turn to Yeshua because there's a lot of unbelievers that are dying, going to hell because of all this violence going on over there.

And there will be many, many, many more. That's the hard part of this journey is that just like the prophet Joel said, it's going to be awesome and terrible. Awesome to see prophecy being fulfilled and the return of the Messiah. It's going to be horrible to see this, you know. And really, the most horrible part is the heart posture of people. That's the worst part. I mean, murder and all that, it's tough to see, of course, but it's really the heart posture of people supporting this stuff, you know. So anyhow, friends, I just come to you hopefully in godly love, hopefully in a godly heart position towards all people. And we need all people to wake up in the Middle East, turn to Yeshua, great commission, everlasting life. That's the conversation that you do not hear. Only thing that you hear is, "Who are you for? Islam or Judaism? Islam or Christianity?" No. I'm for all people to repent because guess what?

All three of those religions need to repent. What do I mean by that? Judaism does not believe in Yeshua. False. Christianity doesn't follow the commandments. False. Or Sabbath or nothing. No ways to worship do they do correctly in Christianity. Not one. Islam, of course, if I have to mention that. We've got problems. All three are out of alignment. All three religions. All three Abrahamic faiths who say they love God are out of alignment. They just are. And I don't see why that's too hard to understand if you just look at the basic understanding of each religion. And the basic understanding of each religion is just like what I told you. Judaism, no Yeshua. That would be blasphemy. In Judaism, Yeshua is the savior. Okay? So, false religion. Christianity, false religion because they don't do any ways to worship right. Not one way do they worship the right way. Not Sabbath, not New Moon, not Passover, or any of the other feast days.

So again, faults on the ways of worship. And then Islam. So there you go. Three Abrahamic faiths. Good job. Keep up the bad work, is what I say to all three religions. Good job. Keep up the bad work. So again, I know that's whatever, but again, that's what I think, you know, because they're misleading a lot of people into a lot of bad places. So friends, it's all about this. God is love, and all who love... Okay? God is love, and all who love are of God. That's what it's about. That's it. The love, not hate. God reigns on the just and the unjust. He blesses the just. He blesses the unjust. You know, and Miss Alva, vengeance is only His. And that's where I stand. Vengeance is His. Even the Apostle Paul quoted that from Moses that vengeance is His and His only. So, how do you think this would look if we just turned it over to Him, right? Excuse me. If we just put our faith in Him, and we just put our swords down and said, "Yeshua, do it.

We don't need anything. We need You." How do you think that would look? Do you know how that would look? Isaiah 63 is how that would look. Whenever they say "Baruch haba Adonai," whenever our brothers and sisters over there know that they cannot do this on their own, and they're wondering where their theology is, they're wondering where their eschatology is, they're wondering why they are being attacked, why half the city is going into captivity, why all bad things happen to women, why all these things are happening, then they will repent. And then Isaiah 63: "Who is this who is coming from Jordan?" I'll use the modern names. "Who is coming from Arabia with blood all over His garments? He stained all of His robes. Who is this?" And Yeshua answers Isaiah and says, "It is I coming for My day of vengeance. Nobody's with Me. I'm by Myself. I've stained all My robes. My day of vengeance, My day of recompense." Him.

So again, once our Jewish friends realize that they're not going to be able to do this, they're going to have to call on Yeshua to do it. He will show them something that they have never seen in their lives, and you either, and me either. It will be the greatest victory ever because of what He's going to do whenever they call on Him. And that's why I say what I say. I love the Jewish people. I stand with them. I love the Israelis. I stand with them. When I stand with them, though, it's going to be Yeshua, and it's going to be Moses, and it's going to be Tshoua. That's it. Okay? It's not going to be, "Let's go conquer the promised land." It's not going to be, "Ain't life grand?" Because what I see over there, it ain't life grand. You've got about 500 million Muslims that probably don't look too good at the Jewish people right now. And guess what? The last time that I checked the book of Revelation, 200 million of them are going to march down to Jerusalem.

And the last time that I checked, there were about seven million Jewish people in Israel. Now, there will be more because there's going to be the hunters that's going to provoke more back, the Jewish people back to the promised land. And if you can receive it, He's going to provoke them to come back to judge them. Okay? That's a hardcore understanding that will get you called a lot of things. So if you don't know the scriptures, I wouldn't say it. But that's what He's going to do. Jeremiah 16, He says, "No longer will you call Him the God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, but you'll call Him the God that brought you back from the land of the north and from all the areas that I've sent you to from the diaspora." Okay? The Roman destruction. Then He tells you how He's going to do it. Bring them back. "Behold, I will send for many fishermen, and they will fish you back." 1948, four million Jewish people plus have made Aliyah.
