[In this article, because so many are still heavily reliant on the bible I will cite bible verses that substantiate what is presented]
I constantly come across people who say and do things that evidence that they have no awareness of the fact that they will be judged at the end of the age, let alone that they are judged in this present life.
They champion things that Yah (the Almighty Creator {The LORD}) has clearly shown me are error, they are aggressive and prideful in what they write and speak, when presented with alternative interpretations of situations they do not pause to consider the possibility that they might be in error.
Furthermore they are judged and then blame others. Yes, it is so that judgment is generally delivered through other people but the right to deliver the judgment is given by those who are judged.
Because the world is so full of error and sin all the parties involved in any judgment situation are in sin and, for carrying out the judgment they may in turn bring judgement upon themselves because they act in hatred, anger, pride, etc and go beyond what was justified and then the people on whom the judgment is delivered see only the sin in those delivering the judgment and do not register that they had sin that made the judgment possible.
There is a tendency to believe that because Yahooshua {Jesus} died a terrible death even though he was without sin that believers generally suffer loss when they are innocent, this is NOT so. Yahooshua ONLY died the way he did BECAUSE HE CONSENTED to die that way -- Matthew 26:53 (AMP) Yahooshua speaking “Do you suppose that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will immediately provide Me with more than twelve legions [more than 80,000] of angels?”
Note that previously the forces of darkness were UNABLE to touch Yahooshua -- Luke 4:28-30 “28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,”
It is so that the forces of darkness are UNABLE to touch a true believer or the possessions of a true believer UNLESS there is sin in that person’s life OR if they are extremely set apart and committed to Yah and their loss, generally death, will bring them honour with Yah and achieve some significant purpose for Yah on earth. The latter situation virtually NEVER happens on earth today and therefore, should you be suffering loss I suggest for your consideration that you are IN SIN!
Note that if you are a believer but are so lukewarm that you are doing no material damage to the forces of darkness and are in so much sin and error that you are NO threat to them they may well leave you alone UNLESS Father Yah prompts them to judge you.
Let me explain a bit more why I say this.
It is written in 1 Peter 4:17 “judgment begins in the house of the Almighty {the LORD}” in other words, judgment BEGINS with those who are in relationship with the Almighty.
To clarify: what I am writing about here is ONLY applicable to those who have a personal relationship with the Almighty. If you do NOT have a personal relationship with the Almighty, NO MATTER how much head knowledge and intellectual assent you have concerning His existence you are NOT a true believer and you are therefore a servant of Satan and are subject to the infighting and evil that is the inherent lot of all those who serve the evil one. If you are one of these people there is NO POINT in reading further, you will NOT understand what is written here NOR will you be able to agree with it because your experience is the experience of those who live in the irrational and destructive world of the evil one.
I say again, to understand what follows you MUST believe that the Almighty exists, AND fear Him AND have a personal relationship with Him which means that at least at some basic level you have some level of infilling with His Spirit, that is “anointing {christ}”. If you do NOT have this it is time for you to get on your knees, repent and ask Him to deliver you from the hands of the evil one and to confess that you believe in Him and His existence and by faith and trust invite Him to live in you.
Judgment
Returning to judgement in the body of true believers, those with relationship with the Almighty (Yah the eternally self-existing {The LORD, God}) it is written in 1 John 2: 1-7 “2 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Yahooshua the anointed of Yah {Jesus Christ} the righteous; 2 and He himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
3 By this we know that we have come to know Him [the Father], if we keep His commandments. 4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5 but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of the Almighty {God} has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: 6 the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.
7 Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard.”
We are judged for breaking the commandments.
Why do we need an Advocate?
Because there is a Court with a Judge and a Prosecutor and because sentences are handed down and executed.
The basis of the judgments of the Court are the commandments we have had from the beginning, that is the ten words or Commandments that were CONFIRMED to Moshe {Moses} on Mount Sinai in Arabia, refer to Exodus 20: 1-17 (AMP).
“20 1 Then the Almighty {God} spoke all these words:
2 I am Yah the eternally self-existing your mighty one {the Lord your God}, Who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 You shall have no other mighty ones {gods} before or besides Me.
4 You shall not make yourself any graven image [to worship it] or any likeness of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;
5 You shall not bow down yourself to them or serve them; for I Yah the eternally self-existing your mighty one {the Lord your God} am a jealous mighty one {God}, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me,
6 But showing mercy and steadfast love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7 You shall not use or repeat the name of Yah the eternally self-existing your mighty one {the Lord your God} in vain [that is, lightly or frivolously, in false affirmations or profanely]; for Yah the eternally self-existing {the Lord} will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
8 [Earnestly] remember the Sabbath day, to keep it set-apart {holy} (withdrawn from common employment and dedicated to the Almighty {God}).
9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
10 But the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yah the eternally self-existing your mighty one {the Lord your God}; in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, your daughter, your manservant, your maidservant, your domestic animals, or the sojourner within your gates.
11 For in six days Yah the eternally self-existing {the Lord} made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. That is why Yah the eternally self-existing {the Lord} blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it [set it apart for His purposes].
12 Regard (treat with honor, due obedience, and courtesy) your father and mother, that your days may be long in the land Yah the eternally self-existing your mighty one {the Lord your God} gives you.
13 You shall not commit murder.
14 You shall not commit adultery.
15 You shall not steal.
16 You shall not witness falsely against your neighbor.
17 You shall not covet your neighbor’s house, your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.”
Notice that the Almighty will visit the iniquity (the sin) of those who break His commandments on the children to the third and fourth generation but will show mercy and steadfast love to a thousand generations to those who love Him AND KEEP His Commandments.
Many believe that Yahooshua {Jesus} died so that this “curse of the law” was done away with.
NO, Yahooshua died in order for us to have an ADVOCATE who could plead our case IF we are young and ignorant in faith OR if we have repented in terms of the Covenant made by Yahooshua.
Yahooshua did NOT die so that we could sin and be sloppy about our service to Yah, he died to provide a priest and advocate free of sin through whose ministry we might repent and seek forgiveness.
If we sin and DO NOT repent we bring the full weight of the law to bear in our lives, particularly if we have been believers for a few years and even more so if we claim to attach significance to the Bible because ALL that I am writing here is available through reading the Bible. In other words these are foundation principles.
How does judgment work?
There IS an advocate.
There is a Judgment Seat, also known as a “throne” consider for example 1 Kings 22:19 “MiykaaYahoo {Micaiah} said, "Therefore, hear the word of Yah the eternally self-existing. I saw Yah the eternally self-existing sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left.”
A concise picture of the Court of Heaven.
The prosecutor
Satan and his henchmen are the prosecutor, the accuser. Consider 1 Peter 5:8 (KJV) “8 Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walketh about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
Satan and his servants can ONLY attack believers when they give permission through sin – Satan requires PERMISSION to kill, steal or destroy in the life of believers.
The Judgment process
Consider Job 1: 6 to 22 “6 Now there was a day when the sons of the Almighty (those created by the Almighty) came to present themselves before Yah the eternally self-existing, and Satan (the accuser / prosecutor) came also among them.
7 And Yah the eternally self-existing said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Yah the eternally self-existing, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8 And Yah the eternally self-existing said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth the Almighty, and escheweth evil?
9 Then Satan answered Yah the eternally self-existing, and said, Doth Job fear the Almighty for nought?
10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
12 And Yah the eternally self-existing said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Yah the eternally self-existing.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of the Almighty is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: Yah the eternally self-existing gave, and Yah the eternally self-existing hath taken away; blessed be the name of Yah the eternally self-existing.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged the Almighty foolishly.”
It is important to be aware that this incident happened at a very early stage in the time of man on earth, before Satan fully knew his boundaries and how the Court of Heaven worked so here we see Yah coaching Satan to see that Job was IN SATAN’S POWER – in seeking to understand this account of what really DID happen it is vital to understand:
1. Satan was still learning the rules;
2. Job HAD sinned, in Job 3:25-26 (AMP) we read “25 For the thing which I greatly fear comes upon me, and that of which I am afraid befalls me.” – fear is faith (belief, trust) in Satan, Job had been offering sacrifices out of fear that his children had sinned Job 1:5 “It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed the Almighty in their hearts.” – Job had NO evidence of sin but he offered sacrifices out of fear, this placed Job and all he had under Satan’s power;
3. In Job 29 Job looks back on the time before his judgement and we see that he had become proud;
4. Note that the closing comment about Yah taking away shows Jobs lack of understanding of the judgment that had come upon him and does NOT reflect some unpredictable capriciousness on the part of the Almighty as is so frequently attributed to this verse;
5. Yahooshua was not present in those days to intercede for mercy in terms of the covenant that he made with Yah, in those days men knew the laws and had personal relationships with Yah at a level that no one does today. Yahooshua had to come because men were falling so far away from Yah;
6. Subsequently Satan was further allowed to touch Job’s flesh but NOT kill him – note that Job does NOT repent of his fear and his pride after the first judgment, thereby opening the door to the second judgment.
Today the forces of darkness know the rules and even though Satan himself is in the Pit for a thousand years, his direct reports continue to prosecute in exactly the same way that is described above. They roam the earth seeking for those in sin, they decide IF and WHEN to prosecute. Depending on the individual they may choose to wait to allow the sin to build or they may prosecute immediately if they have some agenda they are following. Note that these are the SAME spirit beings which lead us into sin much of the time although much sin is of our own doing WITHOUT Satanic / demonic inspiration.
At other times the Almighty may do as he did with Job, draw the attention of the forces of darkness to the sin and pass judgment immediately.
It is vital to understand that Yah’s judgments will ALWAYS be just and commensurate with the sin. In the time of Job, Job was extremely close to Yah and therefore his sin was great and accordingly the judgment was great. Today judgments are generally more specific to an individual or family or other group although judgments on nations or people groups, as has happened with the Afrikaners at various times, still occur.
It is vital to understand that the closer a person is to the Almighty the more severe and the more immediate the judgment.
The Afrikaner in South Africa
This brings us to one of the challenges of this age, the Afrikaner people.
Father says that in percentage terms there are more Afrikaner people seeking to be close to Him than in any other people group on earth.
Yet the Afrikaner people have lost their nation, tens of thousands have been barbarically murdered, more have been raped and brutally assaulted, over 600,000 have lost their jobs and are living in poverty in squatter camps, many have lost their land or their businesses, schools have closed, even their language is under threat and Yah has said that if things continue in the present direction virtually the entire Afrikaner population in South Africa will be murdered in the revolution that will follow the collapse of the South African economy. Most other believers and most Europeans, Asians and people of mixed race will ALSO die. Finally most Africans will die. See http://www.end-time-issue-ministries.org/Articles/ArticleViewPage/tabid/124/ArticleId/373/0999-2012-01-04-Yah-speaks-on-South-Africa.aspx
It is VITAL to understand what is going on, BECAUSE many of the Afrikaners are seeking to serve Yah the Afrikaners are a particular focus for destruction on the part of the forces of darkness and have therefore ALSO taken on massive personal and corporate sin which has permitted the judgments that have taken place so far and which will justify the judgments which have been warned of. Other Afrikaners have walked far from Yah (Free Masonry, Broederbond, etc) and are in even deeper sin.
The net result is that massive destruction is purposed for the Afrikaners by the forces of darkness and these judgments have been carried out repeatedly from the very earliest days that these people banded together and took on a common identity that separated them from their European ancestry.
Repentance is the ONLY way out
The ONLY way to bring the judgments to an end is REPENTANCE, gut wrenching conviction of sin coupled with a broken spirit and contrite heart and crying out to the Almighty declaring their sin, asking for forgiveness, TURNING AROUND and away from repetition or continuation of the sin AND making right with those they have wronged, including making restitution where applicable.
In more general terms – ALL believers
Bringing the discussion back to every single person who believes at some level, we are ALL subject to this judgment process, the CLOSER we get to Daddy Yah the STRICTER the judgment.
The CORRECT RESPONSE to judgment is IMMEDIATE investigation, get on your knees before the Almighty, ask Him what you have done to warrant the judgment, examine your life, repent, turn around, make right with others, that includes making restitution where applicable, restore what you have stolen or caused others to lose through immoral or unethical conduct. Cry out for mercy and loving-kindness. FAST!
Sorry is NOT enough
The English word “repentance” does NOT fully describe the true concept that is embodied in the Hebrew.
Google defines “Repentance the action of repenting; sincere regret or remorse.
synonyms: remorse, contrition, contriteness, penitence, sorrow, sorrowfulness, regret, ruefulness, remorsefulness, pangs of conscience, prickings of conscience, shame, guilt, self-reproach, self-condemnation, compunction;”
This does NOT capture the essence of the Hebrew concept
Wikipedia says, among other things:
- “a change of mind accompanied by regret and change of conduct”
- "change of mind and heart"
- “a summons to a personal, absolute and ultimate unconditional surrender to the Almighty as Sovereign. Though it includes sorrow and regret, it is more than that”
- “In repenting, one makes a complete change of direction (180° turn) toward the Almighty”
- “Repentance typically includes an admission of guilt for committing a wrong or for omission of doing the right thing; a promise or resolve not to repeat the offense; an attempt to make restitution for the wrong, or in some way to reverse the harmful effects of the wrong or the omission where possible”
To sum up, TRUE repentance involves:
1. Admission of guilt;
2. Decision and commitment to change – go in the opposite direction;
3. Heartfelt and sincere apology to the Almighty;
4. Request for forgiveness through the covenant made by Yahooshua;
5. Make right / restitution for the consequences of your wrong action;
6. Solid change in life-style and on-going determination NOT to repeat the sin;
7. If one DOES fall, deep conviction and repeating the previous steps.
Conclusion
IF you claim a relationship with the Almighty and things are going wrong in your life it can ONLY be because of sin in your life and in the lives of your forefathers, remember Proverbs 26:2 “Like a sparrow in itsflitting, like a swallow in its flying, so a curse without cause does not alight.”
Your enemies can curse you all they like but the curse will ONLY have any impact on you and yours WHEN there is sin in your life.
So, to the extent that you are suffering loss in any shape or form recognize that it is as a consequence of sin, either in your life or the life of your forefathers, seek it out, pray, repent, deal with it, TURN AROUND and go the other way.
The most effective way to deal with sin is to pray prayers like “Father, I come to you in the name of Yahooshua and ask you please to show me the level of my present deception / the level of my sin, and how to correct it”, “Father, in the name of Yahooshua, please show me why this evil has come upon me and what to do so that it comes to an end”. Then be prepared to DO whatever you need to do to seek truth and deal with it.
You will find answers to many hard questions regarding sins that are NOT widely known to those who have come from a Christian background on the End Time Issues website but you must be willing to consider ALL possibilities before you will be open to these items.
I strongly recommend the article Getting close to Yah -- Appropriate prayer and fasting are VITAL if you are serious about getting your life right with the Almighty:
