Two of the Most Appropriate Warnings

• Colossians 2:8 
Beware lest any man rob you by philosophy, or by empty deception, according to the teaching of men and according to the principles of the world and not according to Yahshua the Anointed One. 
 and
 • 1 Timothy 6:20
 ....be careful of that which is committed to you and shun vain words and the oppositions of false science for they who profess it have strayed from the faith.
 
These verses also tie in with 1 John 4:1 
..... do not believe all spirits but discriminate among spirits whether they are of Yahweh, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
 
Every spirit that confesses Yahshua the Anointed One has come in the flesh is a Spirit of Yahweh.  
 
The false messiah is already in the world and has been since John wrote these things, but if we are children of Yah we have overcome them because greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.  
 
Who is in us?  
The Spirit of Truth who comforts us.  This same Spirit comes from Yahweh which His Son gave us.

The New Jerusalem - The Bride of the Lamb Metaphor

•Revelation 19:7 ~ Let us rejoice and give glory to him for the marriage supper of the Lamb has come and his bride has made herself ready .... Blessed are those Who Are Invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.
 
It's not the church or the saints or the 'believers'
showing up as the Bride -- we have all 
been invited to the wedding feast.
 
Revelation 21:9,10
One of the Messengers said:
Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb....
and he showed me the Set Apart city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God; in which was the glory of Glory, as a brilliant light, and resembling a very precious gem; like a jasper stone, resembling crystal.
Matthew 22:2- The Kingdom of Heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
We have been called, invited to this banquet, the one prepared by the Father for His Son. We are invited guests, not the bride, and we've been given plenty of time to get ready to attend.

Let us be properly prepared to Meet the Bridegroom- to be full of The Spirit of Truth prior to the return of Yahshua.  If we are full of Yah's Spirit (pure olive oil) we will not wander off in search of who-knows-what. We shall enter into the banquet hall with him before the door is shut and locked. After that it will be too late.

One of the Messengers said:
Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.... and he showed me the Set Apart city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from Yahweh; in which was the glory of Yahweh, as a brilliant light, and resembling a very precious gem; like a jasper stone, resembling crystal. 
Yahshua is the light of the world, in him is seen the glory of the Father 
(This New Jerusalem has) a wall, lofty and great. This wall has twelve gates, and the names of the twelve tribes, descendants of Jacob/Israel, are inscribed on the gates. (three gates on each side, north south, east and west). The wall has twelve foundations on which were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
When this New Jerusalem descends from heaven a great voice is heard which said: 'Behold, the tabernacle of Yahweh is with men and He dwells with them; they will be His people; and He will be their God.'  
  
This reminds me of how it was with Moses and the mixed multitude that came out of Egypt. Yah gave instructions for building the tabernacle so that He could be in the midst of His people.  Look how far we have strayed from our Creator since then. Yah has told us the end from the very beginning.

💠💠💠💠💠💠💠

If the wife of the Lamb is the New Jerusalem, who is this Jerusalem?
Isaiah 62- For the sake of Zion I will not be silent, for the sake of Jerusalem I will not be still, until her victory emerge resplendent and her triumph like a flaming torch. Nations shall see your victory, and every king your majesty; and you shall be called by a new name which Yahweh Himself shall bestow.  You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of Yahweh and a royal diadem in the palm of your God.  Nevermore shall you be called "Forsaken" nor shall your land be called "Desolate" but you shall be called "I delight in her", and your land "Espoused." For Yahweh takes delight in you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you.
What a perfect metaphor used to express the type of love one has than to compare it to marriage, a wedding feast and the joy as two become one. New beginnings. When Yahweh restores all things it may be more glorious than we can imagine.
Jerusalem is the last place Yahweh placed His Name.  When He restores all things there will be a new earth, new heavens and a New Jerusalem. Yahshua and Jerusalem become One via the Spirit of God. Do we, the rest of those who were part of the first resurrection, become One in Spirit as well, at this time?  The entirety of Creation all the way up til this day happened because of the Spirit of Yahweh.

Perhaps the word heaven describes the spiritual realm of Yahweh and His host of heaven.  We are not told in Scriptures what happens after the restoration but I for one will love it when that time comes.



The Temple has been Built

 Quote:

On Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023 the United Arab Emirates officially opened the Abrahamic Family House, consisting of a mosque, church and synagogue that face one another on the same square in Abu Dhabi. Beside each one stands a tall pillar illuminating an Islamic crescent, Christian cross and a Jewish menorah, respectively, shining a hopeful light for interfaith tolerance and understanding.
I ask, could this synagogue possibly represent the end times temple?  The Temple Institute has prepared all utensils, clothing, furniture for the temple they have desired to build; even to the point of trying breed a red heifer.  But if they cannot build on the temple mount, why not take all their belongings to this newly built synagogue?  Maybe it is not 'temple' enough but I shall look into that.
".... the chief rabbi of the United Kingdom, Ephraim Mirvis, referred to the moment as “historic,” seeing the “children of Abraham gathered … to build a new world.”
A new One World government system with a One World religion.
""A synagogue, sometimes referred to by the Yiddish term shul and often used interchangeably with the word temple, is a Jewish house of worship.""
