Are we near the Last Days?

In the past, I have pondered, how close are we to the end of times in respect to our creators time.  After watching several YouTube videos recently, I would like to share what I have learned.  I believe that man has been given 6000 years to live upon this earth, with YAHWEH starting the hands of the clock of time, which I believed started when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden,.  

• Genesis 6:3  And Yahuah said, My Ruach shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. 
• I believe that the "years" referred to here are Jubilees.  A Jubilee is a 50 year time period, so 120 x 50 = 6000.,

I also believe that YAHWEH gave us the creation story to give us a picture of the beginning of creation to the end of time.  He created the heavens and earth in 6 days and rested on the seventh day (Sabbath).  We will need to consider the below verse from Peter to compare our time to the Creators time.

• 2 Peter 3:8  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with Yahuah as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  

• From the creation story, let us look at the days of creation and what they represent.
• Day 1 - Light and Darkness are created.  This is symbolic to the life of Adam.,  who lived nearly 1000 years.   (the first 1000 years)
• Day 2 - Water - This is symbolic to the life of Noah and the Flood, who lived over 900 years,   (the next 1000 years)
• The first two days can be seen as a picture of the FATHER, our creator.
• Day 3 - Trees and Plants were created.  This is symbolic to Abraham and his seed.   (the next 1000 years)
• Day 4 - The Seasons are created and represent illumination.   (the next 1000 years)
• The next two days represent the Son, YESHU'AH.
• Day 5 - The Living Creatures are created.  This is a picture of our Messiah and how we are now new creatures through Him and the sending of the RUACH,   (the next 1000 years)
• Day 6 - Man is created.  This symbolizes that man has come to his fullness.   (the next 1000 years)
• The next two days represent the RUACH,  Man was made new creatures through YESHU'AH and the coming of the RUACH HA'QODESH.
• Day 7 - YAHWEH rested,  This is a picture of the Sabbath and the Millennium where YESHU'AH will reign.   (the next 1000 years)

On day eight (the next 1000 years), we shall begin eternal life in the New Jerusalem.  The eighth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is the "Chet" which symbolizes life and a new beginning.  YESHU'AH died, was buried, and rose from the dead.  There is no clear date as to when YESHU'AH was born, history does indicate it to be around 4 or 3 BCE based upon Herod's reign at that time and the sign in the sky.  YESHUAH began his ministry when he was about thirty years old, the age a Levite would be ordained into the priesthood.  It is also unknow the period of time the YESHU'AH taught until his death.   Based upon my calculations and the 2000 year period until YESU'AH returns, places us sometime between 2024 CE and 2028 CE.

So you may ask, what is the date of the creators calendar from Genesis 1?  Most people do not know this all important date and if you tell them, they still would not know the significance of it.  However, it is amazing that the Free Masons do know.  Every Building has a corner stone and in Rhinelander, WI it reads 1920 and 5920 A.L. (in the Year of Light).

Let us now look at the book of Daniel to provide further witness to the above'

• Daniel 12:11  And from the time of the removal of the daily lifting up, and the giving of the abomination of desolation, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. 
• Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem in the year 597 BCE, which is when the sacrifices were ended, the daily lifting up was ended.
• One day equals One Thousands years according to Peter.
• 597CE + 1290 years = 693CE
• In 693CE the Dome on the Rock was completed on the Temple Mount.
• Daniel 12:12  Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. 
• 693CE + 1335 years = 2028CE

The bible does tell us that no one knows the exact hour or date, but I believe that through Scriptures, YAHEWH is warning his people as to when the Last Day may occur and we should be be prepared and ready, as indicated in the Parable of the Ten Virgins.

• Matthew 24:36  “But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not even the messengers of the heavens, but My Father only.

I pray this blog has opened your eyes as to how close we are to the Last Day and help get your house in order, have oil in your lamps, so that you may be prepared and not caught off guard.  Looking at the world events, we are getting closer and closer to the 1000 year reign of YESHU'AH HA'MASSIACH.

“יהוה (YAHWEH) bless you and guard you; 

יהוה (YAHWEH) make His face shine upon you, and show favor to you; 

יהוה (YAHWEH) lift up His face upon you, and give you peace.” ’ 

Morning Prayer

Dear YAHWEH,

Thank You for giving us this day to give our best effort to walk in Your righteousness.  We praise You, YAHWEH, for new life coming into this world and for those lives who are now sleeping, awaiting Your command to rise in that new day that comes quickly.  Praise You, YAHWEH, for Your will in all of our lives, and we trust Your perfect timeline that You alone know the order of.  We worship You, Father, every single day as if it is our last day in this body.  YAHWEH, we look to You alone for our answers and solutions that only You have,  Thank You, Father, for being all that we need.

We love You in our trials with all of our being!  We praise You in our storms!  We thank You in our times of chastisement, for great is the love of the Father who corrects His children!  Father, we lift those who are searching for jobs, those who are going before courts and judges, those who are struggling with health issues and ringing ears, those who are in the process of dying.  We lift all spoken and unspoken prayers to You!  We lift Y9ur children of all ages Father in this body and those searching for it!  Father, hear the cries and do not turn away Your face.

We pray to walk humbly and meekly as YESHU'AH HA'MASSIACH gave an example of.  Thank You, Messiah, for coming as the Lamb who saved us all from sin, and we are looking to return as a Lion!  We long to sit at your feet and praise the glory of YESHU'AH!  Thank You for grafting us into Israel!  Father, grow Yo9ur ministry here.  Bring us, the lost sheep so that we may feed and raise them up to You!  All glory to You, for You are enough!  We pray and praise You, Father, in the name of YESHU"AH HA'MASSIACH.

Amein, Amein. 

Deliverance

With Passover coming upon us, it is time to begin inspecting our lives, a time.  to approach our Messiah, YESHU'AH, with a clean heart.  It is a time to repent and turn away from our sins.  Even though we may have turned away from our sins, we may feel a strong temptation to return to our past.  We may have repented of our sin, but still feel we are being tormented by evil spirits we had invited into our lives by not turning from our sins,  This has been on my heart recently, so I have been studying deliverance, seeking to be delivered from my past addiction. 

First, let us look at the definition of deliverance, first using the dictionary and secondly using a bible concordance.

• Webster's dictionary
• the action of being rescued or set free:
• Strong's Concordance H6405 (pallēṭ)
• escape, liberation

Below are things we must acknowledge about deliverance.

• Deliverance is for followers in Messiah, YESHU'AH.
• Deliverance requires a relationship with YESHU'AH
• Deliverance is for both the new believer and the prodigal son.
• We must acknowledge that there is a clash between two kingdoms.
• haSatan and YAHWEH
• Darkness and light.
• We must recognize their is still an area of our life that has not been submitted completely to YAHWEH..
• This could include generational curses from our ancestors.
• Addictions, sexual immorality, suicide, abuse, anger, etc.
• We need to identify the strongman, the dominant evil spirit, whom other demons could be working under his authority.  
• For example, a stronghold demon could be pornography, with lesser demons being masturbation, selfishness, and liar spirits.
• All evil spirits are denounced and cast in the name of YESHU'AH.  Command the evil spirit to go to the pit set aside for him by YAHWEH,
• Philippians 2:10  that at the Name of  YESHU'AH every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 
• Colossians  3:17  And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Master YESHU'AH, giving thanks to Elohim the Father through Him. 
• Matthew  :28  And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Girgashiym, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.  (29) And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with you, YESHU'AH, Son of Elohiym? Are you come hither to torment us before the time?   (30) And there was a good way off from them a herd of many swine feeding.   (31) So the devils besought him, saying, If you cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.  (32) And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. 
• It is also important to get rid of any unforgiveness.  It must be dealt with also..
• Matthew 18:32  Then his adonai, after that he had called him, said unto him, O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you desired me:   (33)  Should not you also have had compassion on your fellow servant, even as I had pity on you?  (34) And his adonai was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.  (35) So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not everyone his brother their transgressions. 
• It is also Guard your thoughts and capture them.

Below are bible verses regarding deliverance.

• Bible Verses
• Joel 2:32  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yahuah shall be delivered: for in Mount Tsiyon and in Yerushalayim shall be deliverance, as Yahuah has said, and in the remnant whom Yahuah shall call. 
• Mark 16:17  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 
• Luke 10:19  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Prayer for Binding

Pray this prayer daily.

YAHWEH, I am standing in the truth of Your Word.  You said You would give me the keys to the Kingdom, that whatsoever I would bind on earth would be bound in Heaven and whatsoever I would loose on earth would be loosed in Heaven.  Right now in the name of YESHU'AH HA'MASSIACH,

• I bind myself to the truth of YAHWEH that I will not be deceived by the many subtle deceptions of this world.
• I bind myself to the blood of YESHU'AH that I will never take it for granted.  I want to be constantly aware of its miracle-working power to restore and heal and keep me safe.
• I bind myself to the mind of YESHU'AH HA'MASSIACH that I will be aware of how YESHU'AH would have me think in every situation I come into this day.  I do not want to react out of my own human, carnal thoughts when situations arise suddenly.  I want to think and act as YESHU;AH would have me think and act.
• I bind my feet to paths of righteousness that my steps will be steady and true all day long.
• I bind myself to the work of the cross in my life so that I will continue to die daily to my own selfish desires and motivations and be more like Him.
• I bind the evil one so that I may spoil his household and take back every bit of joy, peace, blessing, freedom, and every material and spiritual possession that he has stolen from me.  I take them back right now.
• I destroy and loose the evil one's  influence over every part of my body, soul, and spirit.
• I destroy and loose every device the evil one's forces may try to bring into my sphere of influence during this day,
• I repent, renounce, and reject every wrong desire, attitude, and pattern of thinking I have had,  Forgive me YAHWEH for holding onto wrong ideas, desires, behaviors, and habits.
• In the name of YESHU'AH HA'MASSIACH, I destroy and loose every wrong attitude, pattern of thinking, belief, idea, desire, behavior, and habit I have ever learned.
• I loose the strongholds around my soul that would keep me from being completely surrendered to the will of YAHWEH for my life.
• I loose all doubt and confusion from myself.

I have bound myself to the  mind of YESHU'AH HA'MASSIACH and I loose every wrong thought and evil imagination that will keep me from being in unshakeable unity with Him.  I bind and loose these things in the name of YESHU'AH HA'MASSIACH, who gave me the keys to do it.  Thank You, YESHU'AH.

(Prayer of what is on your heart; Ruach-led prayer)

Declaration to not look Back

 Isaiah 43:18  “Do not remember the former events, nor consider the events of old.   (19) “See, I am doing what is new, let it now spring forth. Do you not know it? I am even making a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. 

Philippians 3:13  Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,   (14) I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of Elohiym in Mashiach Yeshu'ah. 

Philippians 4:4  Rejoice in Yeshu'ah always: and again I say, Rejoice.   (5) Let your moderation be known unto all men. Yahweh is at hand.   (6) Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto Elohiym.   (7) And the peace of Elohiym, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Mashiach Yeshu'ah.   (8) Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 

Dear Yahweh,

I DECLARE I will not just survive; I will thrive!  I will prosper despite every difficulty that may come my way,  I know every setback is a setup for a comeback.  I will not get stagnant, give up on my dreams, or settle where I am.  I know one touch of Yahweh's favor can change everything.  I'm ready for a year of blessings and a year of thriving!  This is my declaration. 

In Yeshu'ah's name.

Amein and Amein.   

Daily Prayer

 Please pray the below prayer daily.

Dear Heavenly Father:

I take my position here at your right hand, in YESHU'AH HA'MASSIACH.  That is my position of authority, because when You raised Him, you raised me.  When You seated Him, you seated me.  I am in Him and He is in me.  YESHU'AH is the head and I am a vital part of the Body.  From my position of authority, which You gave me, I speak to all ruachs and principalities that try to come against our families, home, and communities, that seek to kill and destroy ..... IN THE NAME OF YESHU'AH, I command you to cease and desist any and all maneuvers and activities against our family, friends, neighbors, and loved ones.

haSatan GET OUT!!!  You can NOT come near our dwellings - including our homes.   I plead the Blood of YESHU'AH around each home, school, and business in our community, both public and private.  I set the Bloodline around each home, school, and business for the safety and protection of each man, woman, and child that goes in or comes out of those buildings and properties.  I plead the Blood of YESHU'AH over all animals, property, and other things, for safety and protection.  No evil plot of the enemy will harm any person or property in my community.  haSatan, you have to go!  We resist you and your imp demons, and therefore you ALL have to flee.

In the name of YESHU'AH HA'MASSIACH, Amein and Amein.

What is Truth?

 Do recall when Pontius Pilate was questioning Yeshu'ah after He was arrested?  

• John 18:38 - Pilate said unto him, "What is Truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Yahudiym, and said unto them, "I find in Him no fault at all. 

Have you ever wondered what is truth?  I have always believed that we should let scripture define scripture.  We live in a world that easily will believe in what they are being told and what they hear.   We can go to the internet and easily find many different and contradicting opinions.  What opinion should we believe.?  Who can we trust when we try to form a conclusion?   What is the truth?

Lets look at how Webster's Dictionary defines truth.

• truth

  troo͞th

  noun

  1. Conformity to fact or actuality.
  2. Reality; actuality.
  3. The reality of a situation.

  
  

In this blog, lets explore what scriptures tells us about truth.  The purpose of this blog is not to define truth as it refers to the world's view, but to look at truth from a biblical perspective.

Below are verses from scripture to help us discern what Pilate was saying and why he found no guilt in Yeshu'ah, "What is Truth?"

• John 14:6  Yahusha said unto him, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me."
• Psalm 119:142  Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your Torah is the Truth.  
• Psalm 119:150  They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from your Torah. (151) You are near, O Yahuah; and all your commandments are Truth. 
• 1 John 2:4  He that says, I know him, and guards not his commandments, is a liar, and the Truth is not in him. 
• Hebrews 10:26  For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the Truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins.
• Matthew 5:17  “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets.  I did not come to destroy but to complete. (Footnote: The Law (TORAH) and the Prophets is a term used for the pre-Messianic Scriptures.  The TORAH refers to the first five books of the Scriptures/Bible.)  (18) “For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.

Below are verses from scripture regarding testimony of witnesses.  We should never lean upon our own understanding.

• 1 John 4:1  Beloved ones, do not believe every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of Elohim, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 
• Deuteronomy 19:15  “One witness does not rise up against a man concerning any crookedness or any sin that he commits. At the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses a matter is established. 
• 2 Corinthians  13:1  This is the third time I am coming to you. “By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.”

From the above scriptures, we can see that Yeshu'ah said he was the Truth, and the TORAH is Truth.   Yeshu'ah was the living and talking TORAH and the WORD.

• John 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.  (2) He was in the beginning with Elohim.  (3) All came to be through Him, and without Him not even one came to be that came to be.   (4) In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.  (5) And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 
• Genesis 1:1  In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth.  (2) And the earth came to be formless and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim was moving on the face of the waters.   (3) And Elohim said, “Let light come to be,” and light came to be.   (4) And Elohim saw the light, that it was good. And Elohim separated the light from the darkness.  (5) And Elohim called the light ‘day’ and the darkness He called ‘night.’ And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, one day. 
• If you continue further in Genesis, we see that light was not created until the fourth day.   What could this light be?  

May YAHWEH bless you and may find favor in his eyes.

Update - January 30, 2023

Shalom everyone.  I apologize for my absence recently, as life has been challenging since I last posted.  I started building a cabin in September and have seen many delays to slow down the construction process to getting the roof  completed and shingled before the snow begins to stay.  We finally had the roof completed around Thanksgiving, but we had to clear the roof of snow several times.

My wife's dad passed away on December 14, 2022 after being admitted to the hospital on December 12.  After several tests, he was diagnosed as having advanced , stage of cancer which had progressed to his whole body, plus his organs were beginning to shut down.  He passed away peacefully and without pain.   He went into a sleep on December 13th and did not awaken.  My wife has taken this hard and still is struggling, her dad would have been 95 in January.  We have been living with my wife's mother as she has dementia and osteoporosis.  Our lives have changed and been a challenge.  

During this time, I haver come across some very good YouTube videos to watch.   I have found "The Donkey Speaks" and "Scripture and Prophecy" to have some very good teachings.  Below are links to videos that I enjoyed.

•  The first video is a playlist from 119 ministries, titled the Pauline Paradox.  This playlist looks at the Epistles of the Apostle Paul and explains how TORAH, faith, and grace are all related.  They also explain the the TORAH was not abolished in the New Testament teachings.. 
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUDRqlDZb-Q&list=PLo5QtZ1bPyYbLdyw2AnVKX9tm-b2YJFhQ
• The next 2 videos look deeper into the relationship between Grace, Faith, and Obedience from 119 Ministries also.
