Will you enter Through the Gates of Heaven?

Brothers and Sisters, considering the current events taking place, have you ever wondered about your salvation?   Have you pondered upon where you will be spending Eternal Life?  Have you read about the End of Times, the Day of ADONI (the LORD), or the times of Ya'aqoḇ's (Jacob's) trouble in the Bible?   I hope this writing will open your eyes to what you may have been taught and what Scriptures tells us.

Let's examine the Bible verses below from Matthew 7:21-23 (taken from the TS2009 Bible), 

• Mat 7:21  “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens. 
• Mat 7:22  “Many shall say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?’ 
• Mat 7:23  “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!’ 

•  There are some keywords that we need to look at:
• Master, comes from the Greek word, kyrios (G2962).   The word, kyrios, is translated into: LORD/Lord/lord, Master/master, and Sir/sir.  Some Bible translations will also have ADONI.
•  He to whom a person or thing belongs, about which he has power of deciding; master, lord
• The possessor and disposer of a thing
• The owner; one who has control of the person, the master
• In the state: the sovereign, prince, chief, the Roman emperor
• Is a title of honor expressive of respect and reverence, with which servants greet their master
• This title is given to: YAHUAH and YAHUSHA HA'MASSIACH.
• Lawlessness comes from the Greek word anomia (G458).  The word, anomia is translated into: iniquity, unrighteousness, transgress the law, transgression of the law.
•  The condition of without law
• because ignorant of it
• because of violating it
• Contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness

• Now that we have the keywords defined, lets look at Matthew 7:21 and 22.   Who are those that would call YAHUSHA, Master, Master?  Would an atheist call our savior, YAHUSHA, Master, Master?  Would an unbeliever call YAHUSHA, Master, Master?  This could only refer to those who call upon the Saviors name.
• John 3:16-17 -> “For Elohim so loved the world that He gave His only brought-forth Son, so that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but possess everlasting life. 
• John 3:17  “For Elohim did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 
• Romans 10:31 -> For “everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה (YAHUAH) shall be saved.”
• Acts 2:21 -> ‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה (YAHUAH) shall be saved.’
• Joel 2:32 -> “And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה (YAHUAH) shall be delivered. For on Mount Tsiyon (Zion)  and in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) there shall be an escape as יהוה (YAHUAH) has said, and among the survivors whom יהוה (YAHUAH) calls.

• But wait, verse 23 says, “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!’  To answer this, we need to go back to our definition of lawlessness to determine who are those who work lawlessness.
• Let's look at one more verse, Revelation 22:14.
•   “Blessed are those doing His commands,  so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of life, and to enter through the gates into the city. 
• Matthew 19:17 -> And He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One – Elohim. But if you wish to enter into life, guard the commands.”
• John 12:50 -> “And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, as the Father has said to Me, so I speak.”
• Command/Commandments comes from the Greek word entole (G1785).   The word entole is translated into commandment(s), precept(s).
• From the definition of lawlessness, we can see this group of people are those who do not keep YAHUAH's commandments.   The Law (Torah) was given to Moses on Mount Horeb, which includes both the 10 Commandments (Exodus 20:2-17) and the Law of Moses (Torah - Exodus 20:18-23:19). 
• Are we making the seventh day of the week (the Sabbath) our day of rest or following the church, making the first day of the week (Sunday) as our day of rest?  It is fine to worship on Sunday, but we are commanded to do no work or business on the Sabbath.
• Are we keeping the appointed 7 Feasts (Moedim) as commanded by YAHUAH or celebrating pagan holidays?
• Feast of Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles
• You can do your own research on Halloween, Christmas, and Easter, which have pagan origins.

• Conclusion
• There will be three groups of people on this Earth at the End of Times.
• The first group are those who do not call on or do not believe in YAHUSHA.   They shall be sent to hell, a place reserved for ha'satan and his demons, where there will be tormenting and mashing of teeth.   I pray we do not fall into this group.
• The last two groups will be those who call on and believe in YAHUSHA, who shall have eternal life in the New Jerusalem.
• Those who are obedient and obey the TORAH, shall be given keys to enter the gates of Heaven, the New Jerusalem.
• Those who will not be allowed to enter the gates, will be those who are workers of iniquity, transgressors, and lawlessness (Torah-less)

• It is not my position to judge others, as this will be done on Judgement Day by YAHUSHA, our Savior and Redeemer.  I ask you to pray to YAHUAH and ask him for wisdom, guidance, and instruction on this topic.  I do not want to make this to long, but to open your eyes to what I have learned, and you would research this as well.  I am still learning about this journey, we are all learning and journeying together.
