Mashiyach and the Prophets revealed many signs telling of the return of Mashiyach.  We learn that most of the population of the earth will not be expecting the "Day of YHWH", most are in unbelief, and very ignorant of the prophetic times of YHWH.  Those who are watching unto prayer are seeing many signs unfold on the Moedim and throughout the year that tells a different story.  For example in the year 2005 the Feast of Shavuot (Feast of Weeks or Pentecost) occurred on May 15th, 2005, according to the Biblical calendar.  On the day of this Feast there were massive catastrophic eruptions on the Sun that have never occurred before in the history of mankind. 

Some think it is a coincidence, because they are not aware of the ancient prophecies that relate to the coming of Mashiyach Ben David.  YHWH will hold back this "Day" only until transgression on earth reaches it's fullness, then His Power will be unleashed, and He will wage war against His enemies.  Many people will realize that the leaders of the nations have been plotting "a vain thing", multitudes and multitudes will be in the valley of decision, many will have voluntarily left "Babylon". 

In the year 2008 a sequence of "heavenly signs" has begun such as has not occurred before in over 2,000 years and for those who are watching and waiting and praying and seeking there is a very clear witness being given that encourages us to know the times of which we live.  The Prophet Joel spoke of the sun turning black and the moon turning to blood, these things occur on solar and lunar eclipses, but when this also coincides with the Ancient Hebrew Biblical Calendar then there is no coincidences here.  YHWH is speaking to those who are listening, but the rest of the religious world is asleep.

Religious institutions, churches, synagogues and mosques, will experience massive catastrophe, very soon multitudes and multitudes of people will see that their religions have betrayed them, they have followed vanity not truth.  The global peace efforts underway that unite all souls in religion, economy and "justice" have been launched and are being rolled out as we speak, but the basis of this is humanism, man's own flesh, his own strength.  Mankind has engineered his own "peace and security", his own sustainable development and of course is ever increasing "shareholder value" and coveting the material world.

When the catastrophe of mankind's "final solution" reaches it's darkest hour, Y'shua Mashiyach Ben David will appear.  Mashiyach will assume His status as Judge of the Universe, He will not and cannot be challenged by mankind.  Mashiyach Ben David will introduce spiritual or "metaphysical" energy that has never before witnessed on earth with overwhelming magnitude and power, this is symbolized in Scripture by a Great White Horse and by myriads of angels doing his bidding.  The Great White Horse symbolizes righteousness and power, angels symbolize dominance over the spiritual worlds, those who would still attempt to fight will have lost their energy, the games of men will be exposed and extricated from humanity.  Each soul remaining alive will see the reality of the spiritual worlds on levels never before revealed.  Torah will be revealed with "spiritual eyes" as The covenant of righteousness, the judgments of YHWH will obliterate all form of rebellion and unrighteousness.  Even at this time, as seen in the parable of the wedding feast, opportunity will be given for those to turn from their wickedness.

Mashiyach will have one mandate to sanctify (set apart) the wheat from the tares, everything will be tried and tested, the wheat will be preserved and the chaff will be fertilizer.  For those within the Kingdom of Mashiyach the timing of this event is not of extreme significance because our calling is greater than life, we live our lives according to the Mashiyach and put our trust in Him, we redeem the time we have, His return is closer than when we first believed.  All the Righteous Prophets have spoken of the Day of YHWH, and the events leading up to it.  Mashiyach is not interested in destroying any part of His creation, but He will expose  the high-handed rebellion that has come against all righteousness.

For those outside the Kingdom of Elohim the timing of this event is crucial, for these time will be no more and they will give account of what they've done with the life they've been given.  There are also religious people who desire to "hasten the day" of YHWH, because they are taught that they have the Kingdom "in the bag".  But the prophets say,

The prophets tell us that if anything will be done swiftly, it will be to establish a witness against those who deny the Mashiyach and the Torah of YHWH. 

Mashiyach instructed His talmidim (disciples) that His return would be very sudden and there would be much high-handed rebellion as it was in the days of Noah, also, plan to be surprised. 

Notice that Y'shua said they will be eating and drinking which means it will be business as usual up until that day, in fact the world will believe itself to be in great prosperity and economic times that are unprecedented.  The stock market will have turned around, the bulls rejoicing, no more credit crunch just blue sky.  Christianity, Judaism, and Islam will appear to have made friends with each other, there will be one book that includes the Koran and everyone will appear to be one big happy family.  Many astute religious people will believe that the world has entered into the Messianic era, the New World Order, but it will be of man's design, not YHWH's.  The spread of wealth between the rich and the poor will widen and moral poverty will continue to abound but the New World Order will say peace, peace when there is no peace.

Mashiyach is very concerned that our souls be prepared for this "Day", more so than revealing the precise day of His return, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Mashiyach."  Judgment whether we live through this or die before this "Day" is the next step along the way, we should be confident that we've been served the mandate of the Mashiyach and Torah and that we've not followed the crowd to destruction.  Let's take a moment and do an inventory check on our souls, a "truth" checkup if you will. 

When will these things occur?  It's no secret really, "And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh."  Luke 21:20

There are 688 prophecies regarding "the day of YHWH" everyone can study them for themselves, we must not follow the opinions of others when it comes to our own salvation and redemption.  We must not be fear-mongered by religious people to fear what we do not know, rather we are called to draw close to YHWH and He will draw close to us.

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Mashiyach; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he has done, whether it be good or bad."  The issues of judgment will not be based on how "bulletproof" our doctrines are, but whether we opened up your lives to Mashiyach to write His Torah of righteousness upon our hearts.  Are we living for Mashiyach Y'shua or for ourselves?  Do we care enough about TRUTH and the souls of others to live for Yeshua and do His Torah?

How have we experienced the infamy of truth for the sake of Mashiyach?

Are we fighting the good fight and presenting ourselves as Set Apart for Mashiyach, or have we bought into religious ideals?  Have be become garbage collectors of Babylon's movies, religion, and lifestyles?  Are we still trying to live the "American Dream" or do we live for Tsiyon (Zion)?  Are we hidden in Mashiyach each Shabbat and during the Moedim of YHWH, have we put Mashiyach in the highest place in our lives?  Are we being conformed to the Image of Elohim, or are we going through motions, religious ideas, theologies and doctrines, rather than being a Kedoshim (Set Apart People) and building Set-Apart Communities unto YHWH our Father?

There is important and necessary truth for salvation that we must learn well, our walk in Mashiyach is not about cerebral theology, ideas and doctrines, it is based on being Set Apart.  We are called to come out of Babylon, live in close proximity with our brothers in Y'shua and have all things in common within the household of Faith.  However, "believers" in many cases the same as the rest of the world when it comes to lifestyle, they are detached except for a few hours a week.  Most believers live private lives, accountable to no one, most reject the idea of being a community.

Does Scripture tell us that we will be judged according to what we know, or what we do?

The biggest deception of the enemy is that we've got an "in" with the Almighty because we have knowledge about Him.  Whether we go to church or synagogue regularly and pray and meditate on Scripture regularly isn't the question, the real question is... have we conformed our lives to Him, so that when Mashiyach returns we will be ready.

Many feel that they have a special relationship and connection with G-d, that He takes care of them because "He knows their heart".  Yet these same souls rebel and violate YHWH's Torah, often speaking evil things against the simplicity of Torah.  Many souls believe they are heaven bound, yet they mock truth, live carnally, gossip against followers of Mashiyach and resent Torah.  Many carnal Christians expect to be "raptured" into glory, and those who don't accept their doctrines and religion are in for severe judgment.  Religion couldn't get much more self serving that this.  However, Mashiyach suffered so that a Kedoshim (Holy People) would be able to stand against the wiles of the enemy and live victorious lives in him.  We are called to obedience in the Name of YHWH and to be spiritual souls who seek to have Torah written upon our hearts (Jeremiah 31:31-34).

YHWH instructs us to live according to righteousness and truth.

The Scriptures teach that YHWH is altogether concerned with judgment and justice.  YHWH made it all possible for us to choose how we are to live, He did created our lives, but Scripture also says, "he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust."  Matthew 5:45  Even the wicked of the world are walking in YHWH's blessings of life, as it is written:

The biggest lie is that the people of YHWH must be faithful to religion that is taught in synagogues, churches or mosques, rather than become personally responsible to the Word of YHWH.  Obviously if all these religions were offering the true Faith of the Kingdom of Elohim they would not be proliferating and dividing and denying the Unity of the Spirit of Mashiyach.

"As it was in the days of Noah, 

so it shall be when the Son of Man appears."

Knowing when Mashiyach will return to set up his Kingdom is not the most important goal, there is a far greater question that must be pursued first.

Are we following Mashiyach or have we replaced him with religion?

We can't have both.

The days of Noah saw eights souls spared from destruction, Scripture records that Noah's grandson Nimrod built a tower in defiance to YHWH to restore man-worship against the worship of YHWH. The generation we live in now is far more culpable, we have much information available about the Kingdom of Mashiyach, but the world has rejected Mashiyach and made their own religions out of Him, even in His Name.  The Christian world has not distinguished between Tsiyon (Zion) and Babylon.

Babylon or Zion?

Two ancient cities represent two opposite kingdoms.  Babylon is no longer in existence today, Zion exists within the modern city of Jerusalem.  Both of these cities represent spiritual places, Babylon is the seat of man's religions and governments whereas Zion is the seat of power of Mashiyach.  Most believers have very little idea about how much they are compromising with Babylon, while they try to learn about Zion.  Most will not leave Babylon until it becomes a trend, because leaving Babylon often means to stand alone and be persecuted by other believers for leaving the nest.

Many who are thought to be guardians of truth are leading the world in man-worship, violation of Torah.

     It's time to do Teshuva, return to YHWH, and live for Him in truth.

The peculiar people of YHWH prefer to do righteousness they love YHWH, trust Him and are excited to do His will, we celebrate His goodness on the times He appointed, Shabbat, Pesach, Succoth etc.

     Y'shua stated, "...the Son of man is Master (Lord) even of the Sabbath." Matthew 12:8 

The Sabbath is mentioned 62 times in the Ketuvim Netzarim (Writings Nazarene - New Testament), yet false teachers suggest the Sabbath is bondage, many speak against Shabbat.  How so?  Pagan teachings that surrounding the person of Jesus teach that righteousness is hardship, some say Shabbat is Jewish simply because they are ignorant of Mashiyach who universally represents Shabbat, beginning at Creation.

To confess Mashiyach before men means to take up the yoke of his Kingdom and walk as he walked.  Our confession of Mashiyach is that he is altogether righteous and qualified as the Lamb of Elohim because he never violated Torah.  With the Ruach haKodesh in us we walk as he walked, we observe Torah and show others how to do the same.  We confess him by living Set-Apart, holy lifestyles unto Him.  We don't follow the religious crowds or approve of any willful rebellion against either Y'shua or Torah.

• Heart -we choose Mashiyach and the Righteous truth of Torah over all else, guarding our hearts so as not to be seduced by the things of this world, religion, materialism, carnal desires.

• Soul -we pursue the truth, we don't say "we don't have to" do Torah because "Grace" imparts Torah.

• Might  -we focus our energy on the Kingdom of Elohim, where we live, the friends we choose, who we marry, where we work, where we travel, what we allow our minds to think about.

"But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." 

Matthew 24:36

A prophetic timeline is given to be understood by those who observe the Moedim (appointed times) of YHWH.  It is possible to understand His future appointments by attending and experiencing the Appointments He has set for us today, these are the Feasts of YHWH.

Information in itself is not the answer. "For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing."  Acts 17:21

As we live for Y'shua and observe Torah each day, we do not concentrate on gathering head knowledge and opinions for the sake of information alone, we actively prepare ourselves for the Day of YHWH and the coming of Mashiyach.

YHWH be with you,

Shalom U'Vrachot,

Baruch Ben Daniel

It is far better to know only a little about the Kingdom of Elohim,

and live according to what we know,

than to know much and not live accordingly.
