The second day of the second month in the 2729th year of our dispersion. The advanced technology of the dead high cultures could not save them. What makes us think it can save us? We are not eternally "progressing ever forward." Eventually we will fall into obscurity. Our greatest technology will be meaningless, either because something infinitely greater will arrive, or because the forces that are tearing apart our society will eventually succeed. Yes, there will be airplanes, but no one will be able to afford the gas, and eventually no one will be able to fly them, and after that they will be converted into something useful, like shelters, and a thousand years down the road they will be legends. יהוה has ways of humbling a society so that their best accomplishments are brought to nothing, because they do not do things His Way. We certainly are in that position and are ripe for the day of judgment. Read the prophets. So many judgments against so many rebellious, pagan nations. We are just another of those nations. There are no exceptions. No one gets a free ride. No nation escapes יהוה's judgment unless they repent, and only for as long as they repent. Things are going to get very bad here. How will the remnant be protected? I know the Messiah said, not to worry about food and drink and clothing. The nations all seek after these things, and the Father knows we have need of them. We will be taken care of, either miraculously or through careful planning. It doesn't matter to me which one. People say I am very opinionated. I think that is a funny way to describe me. יהוה also has very strong feelings on many issues. Again, read the prophets. Trying to see the world the way my Father does, and trying to judge righteously, means I will also have very strong opinions. For example, there are some things that are not food. Why change my opinion on that when יהוה has made it very clear what is the truth? Returning to a Torah-submissive lifestyle entails a return to solid principles. We are not like the chaff which is driven in all directions by the shifting winds. We have a firm foundation. We building our houses on the rock. "Christian Liberty" in its popular form is the liberty to do wrong. I do not have this liberty. Christian Liberty as it is correctly taught is the freedom to do יהוה's will. This is great if you know what His will is. Again - read the prophets! Read the Torah! Read the sayings Yeshua, and then Peter, James, and John! And once you have it drilled into your head, try to figure out what Paul was talking about. He would not use his letters as a foundation for teaching, but Christians do. His foundation was the Messiah. The Messiah upheld the Torah in every way. It's so very simple but everyone tries to complicate things with strange doctrines. |
