Repeat the Warning

 

On April 8, 2008, I wrote the following commentary on a passage in Obadiah.  Do we really think it is a coincidence that our nation is literally being torn apart by tornadoes, wildfires, and earthquakes at the very time we are tearing apart Israel?  What a joke that our legislators are blaming the CEOs of oil companies for the fuel crisis, when their 'worship of creation' has caused what they now rail against.  Our Creator warned throughout scripture what would happen to those nations that would bring harm to His bride and her land.  Forgive me for the repetitive post, but I fear more destruction is coming!

Obadiah 1:15    “For the day of the LORD upon all the nations is near;    As you have done, it shall be done to you;   Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.

This passage concerns the nations that would divide Israel.  To the degree that the United States of America participates in this division, we too face that division at the hand of the Almighty!   Psalm 83 speaks of a coalition of nations that come against Israel in the last days.  That day is now upon us.  Any push by the United States government for Israel to give up more land is in direct violation of the Word of the Almighty.  I encourage believers to examine their bibles for the consequences to nations that deliberately disobey.  My friends, swift and sudden destruction is headed our way.   It is very likely too late for the United States of America to repent.  Therefore a clarion call must  go out to the body of Messiah to prepare for what is coming.  The question is, "How does a human being prepare to be a participant in the Judgement of Yahuweh?"  In other words, "What must we do to be saved?"  The answer is found in the book of Acts, verses 19-21.  "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Yeshua the Messiah, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.

Calendar Restored?

I want to take an opportunity here to address more of the Scriptural restoration process. 

How do you view restoration?  Do you see it as non-consequential or as having only minor importance.  Is the restoration process disconcerting to you because it requires response?  Are you satisfied with a 'status quo' that you moved into during a time of revelation, and are now afraid to move on?  Have your previous crops of spiritual grapes turned to vinegar or fine wine?

As we look to our Messiah for the restoration of all things, we must not neglect the process of change He desires for us.  2 Corinthians 3:18 says "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."  In other words, when we observe His Glory (in restoration) we take on His glory.

What if I don't agree with what is being uncovered?  What if I have problems with those through whom the restoration is coming?

Well, my friends, it is time to make another choice.  You can choose to face the world each day without looking in the mirror before you leave the safety of your home.  Or, you can make sure that the image that is reflected back to you is seen in the faces of those with whom you fellowship.  Just because we see the same image, however does NOT necessarily mean that it is the image of Messiah!  I remind you of the pious images of the women's dress of the polygamist sect whose children were removed from them.  Just because they looked a certain way certainly did not guarantee the safety of the children entrusted to them.

Taking on the image of Messiah requires constant and continual (redundancy intended) change.  Yeshua required change when He came the first time...The same requirements are in place now!

The Creator's Calendar

House To Life Ministries is excited to present The Creator's Calendar.  This is a fulfillment of Scriptural prophecy.  We are told in Acts 3:21 that all things will be restored before Messiah returns to earth.  Daniel prophesied that knowledge would increase in these days and that certainly includes Scriptural knowledge.  We have, at our disposal, the Creator's Calendar for you to download and use.  Simply click on the banner at the top of this page and follow the links.

Thanks to Don and Pam Harris at www.thinkredink for making this resource possible.  I encourage you to check out this brother's material.  You will find it extremely beneficial to  your walk with Messiah.

In the days ahead we will use this calendar to teach in greater detail the Feasts of Yahuweh as well as gain insight into Scriptural prophecy.  Be sure to watch the videos that will be produced over the next few weeks as they will refer to this calendar.
