Then if anyone hears the sound of the horn but fails to heed the warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head. Since he heard the sound of the horn but failed to heed the warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had heeded the warning, he would have saved his life.
(Yehezqĕl (Ezekiel) 33:4-5)
Prophetic warnings are rarely taken seriously! In fact, many times, people scoff and mock the words of prophets; they go to the extent of persecuting and even killing the prophets to silence them! The Father has, throughout the ages, used many people to warn against a persistent sinful tendency that has transcended all of humanity’s existence. False worship! History is riddled with unmistakable evidence of the whoring ways of humanity, and evidence abounds in the international English names of the days of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc—named after a pantheon of idols).
We are reminded, through it all, of our one sure mission in life:
Fear Alahym and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of humanity. Qoheleth (Ecclesiastes) 12:13
Throughout life, we undergo experiences—the good, the bad, and the ugly—that place us in positions where we have to make choices, sometimes easy, sometimes hard: right or wrong; life or death! In these last days, humanity will be faced with a tough life-or-death decision: worship the Creator or worship the creature (the beast and his image). The final test is set out in the book of Ḥazon (Revelation), but so are the warnings and the strategies for surviving the great test that lies ahead. We need to stand firm and faithful in worship—that is, living according to the commands of the Most High YAH and having the faith of Messiah 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤅𐤏!
Ḥazon (Revelation) is reputed as one of the most difficult and controversial books of Scripture—yet, anyone who has ever taken the time to read the Words for themselves can attest that there is great blessing and wisdom contained within its pages. Revelation is critical, because it contains essential warnings for the children of YAH, starting with the messages that Messiah Himself sent to the scattered assemblies in the Diaspora, and then leading to a series of messages and warnings brought by the heavenly messengers: messages still relevant and even more urgent for believers today as we near the time of testing and tribulation!
The Four Messages
- “Fear Alahym and give Him esteem, because the hour of His judgment has come. Worship the One who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and the springs of waters.” Rev 14:7
- “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, who has made all the nations drink the wine of the passion of her whoring.” Rev 14:8
- “If anyone worships the beast and its image, and receives its mark on his forehead or on his hand, he too will drink the wine of Alahym’s anger, poured undiluted into the cup of His wrath. And he will be tormented in fire and sulfur in the presence of the set-apart messengers and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever. Day and night, there is no rest for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name. Here is a call for the perseverance of the set-apart ones who keep the commands of Alahym and the faith of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤅𐤏.” Rev 14:9-12
- Then the messenger told me to write, “Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of Alahym. So I fell at his feet to worship him. But he told me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who rely on the testimony of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤅𐤏. Worship Alahym! For the testimony of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤅𐤏 is the spirit of prophecy.” Rev 19:9-10
Reinforcement of the Message by YAHUAH Himself
After this I saw another messenger descending from heaven with great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his esteem. And he cried out in a mighty voice: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a lair for demons and a haunt for every unclean spirit, every unclean bird, and every detestable beast. All the nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her whoring. The kings of the earth have committed whoring with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy from the extravagance of her luxury.”
Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues.
For her sins are piled up to heaven, and Alahym has remembered her iniquities. Give back to her as she has done to others; pay her back double for what she has done; mix her a double portion in her own cup. As much as she has esteemed herself and lived in luxury, give her the same measure of torment and grief. In her heart she says, ‘I sit as queen; I am not a widow and will never see grief.’
Therefore her plagues will come in one day— death and grief and famine— and she will be consumed by fire, for mighty is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Alahym who judges her.”
The final victory is sure! Stand in true worship! Do not fear the enemy’s threats and tactics. Remember, the end is already written! Trust YAH’s sure prophetic Word!
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in GěHinnom. Mattithyahu (Matthew) 10:28
