Codes vs Yahweh

Romans 2:8 - 

But for those who are self-seeking 

and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, 

there will be wrath and anger.

⇚   ⇛

Folks who think it's OK to delve into numerology in order to prove "God" are dabbling in pagan traditions we've all been warned about.  Those people are promoting the discovery of 'Bible/Torah Codes'.  This is no different from relying on science to prove the existence of an Intelligent Being; God or the 'god particle'.  If they had Faith in the Creator they wouldn't need mysticism to prove His existence. Numerology is the study of the occult significance of numbers.

As an element of astrology and fortune-telling, numerology has long been employed to predict future events. Numerology has also been used to interpret personality; in particular, numerologists may assign numbers to each letter of a person's name and use the resulting figures, along with the person's date of birth, as a guide to his or her character.

Allowing ourselves to experiment with mysticism opens a portal for demons to enter. We are called to come out of this world system just as His People were called to come out of Egypt (they had a choice). We are called to come out of Babylon, this same old hot bed of paganism.

Our Faith is our Trust in the Living Elohim, we trust His Instructions. We should not let our pride and arrogance get in the way of His Truth. If He says 'do not eat lobster', I will not eat lobster. I do not need a scientific reason to obey the One who created me. 

There are places we just aren't suppose to go. Take that tower they tried to build in Babylon. Those folks wanted to make a name for themselves. It was because of their pride and arrogance that Yahweh scattered them. If He gave us commandments not to do certain things, things that the pagans did, why on earth would we think it was O.K. to experiment with 'new age' old world mysticism now?  Are we letting pride and arrogance get in the way?

There is nothing new under the sun.

(Ecclesiastes)

Yahweh our Elohim has warned, more than once, not to 'mix or mingle' with non-believers and traditions of men.  It is up to us to choose to believe, to act in Faith and not by the dictates of science or the philosophies of man. His Spirit cannot be quantified by science - He is beyond our total understanding because we are still separated from the spiritual by physical realm.  Using secret codes is akin to man trying to build a tower to reach the heavens because of his pride and arrogance. 

Who is the Master of Confusion? Who is so subtle as to make one question the Word of Yahweh Elohim? Doubt is a device expertly used by Satan to turn us from our Creator. As we patiently wait for the return of His Son we must continue to withdraw from those who walk wickedly.

I paraphrase assumptions and discussions that led up to this study:

...so herbs and essential oils were used by all pagan cultures. But we use them today, because our God made them right? So, these "eastern" cultures have used body flow meridians to see where the body is lacking, I know for a fact that God made these things. Yes people have perverted it, but it does not make it pagan. I think we give the enemy too much credit, Yah created these things. So I don't like to jump into the everything is pagan because in reality we would be in a lot of trouble....Yes Yah heals, the blessings and curses are also spoken about the promised land, so I don't believe we get the completion of these blessings until we are there. Yah heals, but maybe he gave a doctor the knowledge to repair your clogged arteries before you had another heart attack. I've come to find there is nothing that Yah is not in, he's not in a box.

and... 

Have you guys heard of chakras? Yeah those weird things hippies talk about huh? Well...they are light within the body, guess what? Same up and down light points as the menorah, because guess what? We truly are the light of the world. 

and then this:

Yah said the knowledge would increase in the end days, I think that's what is happening. There are many "thinkers" and people that are more on the science side of things, I believe he allowing these things to come about. He is science, he is math, he is quantum physics. He is the maker of heaven and earth

We should never underestimate the power of the Adversary. 

It was Satan who caused Eve to doubt the Instruction of Yahweh, 

which is why we are where we are today.

Trees are part of Yah's creation, a good thing, but it's the pagan tradition of cutting them down, bringing them indoors and decorating them that is an abomination to Yahweh. We can grow trees, take a walk in the woods etc... but we are not to turn them into idols of worship. Likewise, herbs, honey, oils and vinegar are good things as long as we are use them for food and healing, but not in an attempt to connect with the spiritual realm. 

Here's a thought: Is the Ouija Board an innocent game or a tool to tempt one into divination or calling up the dead, even if that wasn't one's intentions. 

Excuses to dabble in mysticism I see as a problem that has resulted from many a Hebrew Roots assembly.  Once we realize that Torah is for Everyone in Yah's Creation, we should realistically move beyond the discovery of our Hebrew heritage and come face to face with Faith, which was never about religion.  But many "go Jewish" and are sidelined by another religion complete with man made doctrines, opinions and mysticism (Talmud and Kabbalah).  The example I quoted above was in regards to using Yoga and 'body flow meridians' for 'health' reasons.  But the subject matter is the same as one who wants to use numerology (gematria) to expand their understanding of God.

Pagans do not make something 'pagan' by using it, but their established actions, lifestyle and the 'gods' they worship etc... are what define them as being pagans. They are heathens who do not accept Yahweh or His Instructions; they attempt to mix some of Yahweh in with their gods just as leaders would blend paganism with Christianity to bring more into the Church system. If healing is promoted by relating it to spiritualism or enlightenment, then we need beware of the implications of copying them. Do not forget that the Divine Beings who left their station in heaven taught things to humans that were not supposed to be shared. And later, when Yah's people entered the promised land they were told not to adopt the ways of those they had dispersed. The land of Canaan was permeated with pagan traditions.

I rely on Yahweh's Instructions for all things, search His Word for answers and seek His guidance in making decisions. This is where we can 'be still' and let His Set Apart Spirit direct us. Remember how subtle Satan is in his desire to be 'god' - he will say anything to get us to turn our backs on the Creator. 

Yes, Yahweh is our Creator, but who is the Deceiver? Who has a counterfeit for almost everything Elohim put forth? Don't forget that time when Yah regretted He created man and sent a Flood to wash them off the face of the earth. 

We must be very careful when choosing something that sounds good but underneath is destructive to our soul. This is why we are instructed to read Scripture every day, study our Creator's Instructions day in and day out, teach it to our children, remember where we came from and where we want to go. We are called to come out of Mystery Babylon so as not to partake of her sins nor her plagues. Babylon was a hot bed of paganism so it should be no mystery as to why we are being called to come out of today's world system. It is no different for us now as it was for them. Everything was pretty much under the influence of paganism in the Land of Canaan.

Leviticus 18:3 - You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived: and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you; neither shall you walk in their statutes.
Leviticus 20:23 - You are not to live by the customs of the nations, whom I've cast away right in front of you. Because they did all of these things, I detested them.

░▒▓▓▒░

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 Mashiyach.
Psalm 49:13 - This is the destiny of fools, and of those who approve of their philosophy.

Definition of "Philosophy":

• pursuit of wisdom 
• a search for a general understanding of values and reality by chiefly speculative rather than observational means 
• an analysis of the grounds of and concepts expressing fundamental beliefs 

(it's a Greek kind of thing....)

Yahweh tells us not to be taken in by those who teach by speculation, who hand out empty deceptions concocted by men according to worldly desires; who ignore the teachings of Yahshua, son of Elohim. 

We are to rejoice and be glad because our reward in heaven is great. Just as folks persecuted the prophets of old for speaking the Word of Elohim, we too, shall be persecuted for our faith and following the perfect example set by His Son. We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Because we follow the Instructions of the Father our behavior- our light -shines in view of all people. We become the 'light of the world' by example. That example is evidenced by our lifestyle, which is according to the Instructions given us by our Creator and not by some mystic light show happening within our bodies. 

John 8:12 - Once again, Yahshua spoke to the people and said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.

So, now I'll get back to Bible Codes.

Quote: (*I Do Not Agree with everything on this site but offer it for your further research, study and understanding of this topic of codes. I do not recommend the KJV to anyone)

The one who ignited this spate of new books on hidden Bible codes is J.R. Church and his ministry is called ‘Prophecy in the News’ out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. In 1993, Rev. Church published a book entitled ‘The Mystery of the Menorah and the Hebrew Alphabet.’ ... Since then he has published two more books by Yacov Rambsel, a Hebrew-Christian who wrote about his fascinating discovery that God had encoded the Hebrew name of Jesus (Yeshua) throughout the Hebrew Old Testament.... All this hidden secret Bible code business is a great deceiving by Satan designed to mislead and divert people from the truth. It will cause all sort of misuse and trashing of God’s Word, preserved in the English language."

The Bible Code

In 1994, Doron Witztum, Eliyahu Rips, and Yoav Rosenberg published the paper, "Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis", in the scientific journal Statistical Science. In their paper, the authors set out to prove that the names of famous rabbis could be found with the Book of Genesis in close proximity to the dates of their births and deaths in such a way that chance alone could not explain... The process relied upon "Equidistant Letter Sequencing (ELS)," whereby researchers take a single letter, skip ahead a certain number of spaces to a second letter, and then repeat the process using the same numeric interval.

Isopsephia (aka Gematria)

Georges Contenau cites evidence that isopsephia (the Greek word for gematria) was widely used in Mesopotamia. In this case numerical values were assigned to the characters in their syllabary, and the numerical values of names were computed. (This also fits in with the general Mesopotamian reverence for numbers: all the Gods had numbers, which Simo Parpola has shown to be numerically related by the Assyrian Tree of Life.)

The next datable source for gematria I know about comes from David Fideler's Jesus Christ: Sun of God. He argues that the standard spellings of the Gods' names were formulated according to isopsephic principles under the influence of the Pythagorean League c. 500 BCE . So for example, Zeus is the Geometric Mean of Hermes and Apollo. He further argues that many Greek temples, such as the Parthenon (447 BC) and Apollo's temple at Didyma (300 BC), were constructed isopsephically.  Given the early use of gematria in Babylonia (by the eigth century) and its apparent use in Greece (by the fifth), the general idea must have been widely known around the Mediterranean from an early date. Nevertheless it seems that the Hebrew gematria known to us now came from the Greeks.

Hebrew Letter Numbers

Each of the 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet is correlated with a specific number. Gematria is the computation of individual letters, words or entire sentences utilizing their numerical equivalence. Some people believe that the words and ideas in the Torah may be connected with or understood from the numerical values and relationships. It is alleged that the numerical word-value is not unintentional, but rather prearranged. This study was first introduced amongst Rabbinic sages whose views are recorded in the Mishnah in the 2nd century AD.  Many believe there are secret codes to be uncovered by interpreting the numerical values of the letters in the Bible. The kabbalists employ gematria to decipher the Torah and everyday events. Gematria is also used to interpret the Midrash and Talmud. There are many Jews, however, that believe one must be of stable mind to partake in the study of gematria, so as to not go fanatical.

Quote:
The original manuscripts did not contain the chapter and verse divisions in the numbered form familiar to modern readers. Some portions of the original texts were logically divided into parts following the Hebrew alphabet; for instance, the earliest known copies of the book of Isaiah use Hebrew letters for paragraph divisions. There are other divisions from various sources which are different from what we use today.
The Old Testament began to be put into sections before the Babylonian Captivity (586 BC) with the five books of Moses being put into a 154-section reading program to be used in a three-year cycle.
By the time of the Council of Nicaea in AD 325, the New Testament had been divided into paragraphs, although the divisions were different from the modern Bible.

An important canon of the New Testament was proclaimed by Pope Damasus I in the Roman synod of 374. Pope Damasus also induced Jerome, a priest from Antioch, to undertake his famous translation of the entire Bible, both Old and New Testaments, from Hebrew and Greek into Latin, the official language of the Roman Empire at the time. This translation is known as the Vulgate. The Church continued to finance the very expensive process of copying and providing copies of the Bible to local churches and communities from that point up to and beyond the invention of the printing press.

Churchmen Archbishop Stephen Langton and Cardinal Hugo de Sancto Caro determined different schemas for systematic division of the Bible in the early 13th century. It is the system of Archbishop Langton on which the modern chapter divisions are based. 

The first person to divide New Testament chapters into verses was Italian Dominican biblical scholar Santi Pagnini (1470–1541), but his system was never widely adopted. Robert Estienne created an alternate numbering in his 1551 edition of the Greek New Testament. The first English New Testament to use the verse divisions was a 1557 translation by William Whittingham (c. 1524-1579). The first Bible in English to use both chapters and verses was the Geneva Bible published shortly afterwards in 1560. These verse divisions soon gained acceptance as a standard way to notate verses, and have since been used in nearly all English Bibles.

So man added the chapters and verse numbers to Scriptures. How can one honestly believe gematria (numerology) has anything to do with confirming the authority of Yahweh Elohim? He did not put division by numbers into His Word. 

Who is the author of division?

could it be.... Satan?

Maryam of Magdala

Once upon a time,

Mary Magdalene aka Maryam of Magdala

 had Seven Demons...

Luke 8:1 And it happened after these things that Yahshua was going around in the cities and in the villages and was preaching and declaring the Kingdom of Elohim, and his twelve Apostles were with him ... also those women who were healed of sicknesses and of evil spirits. Maryam who is called Magdalitha from whom seven demons had gone out. And Yokan the wife of Kuza the steward of Herodus and Shusban and many other, those were ministering to them from their wealth.

Maryam was freed from those demons by Yahshua and became a faithful follower of The Way, but nowhere in Scriptures is she referred to as a harlot, prostitute or whore. In the above paragraph she is noted with other women who are using their wealth to help support the 'ministry' of Yahshua and his Apostles.

She saw Yahshua and spoke with him after his resurrection.

John 20:11 (lightly paraphrased) But Maryam was standing at the tomb and weeping, and while she wept she peeked in the grave and she saw two Messengers clothed in white who were sitting, one at his pillow and one at the foot of the bed, where the body of Yahshua had lain. And they said to her, "Woman, why do you weep?" She said to them, "Because they have taken my Master and I do not know where they have laid him." She turned around and saw Yahshua standing behind her. She did not recognize him, thinking he was the gardener... Yahshua called her by name and she turned to look at him fully and said to him in Hebrew "Rabbuli!" which means Teacher.  He sent her to tell his brothers than he ascends to their Father and Elohim. Later that evening he stood among his disciples (except Thomas was not there) telling them to receive the Ruach haKodesh, forgive men their sins and they will be forgiven. Eight days later the disciples were gathered again, with Thomas and Yahshua appeared before them saying, "Peace be with you."  Now Thomas believed he was resurrected. Yahshua said, "Now that you have seen me, you believe. Blessed are those who do not see me and believe."

In John 21 we read that Yahshua reveals himself again to his disciples by the sea of Tiberius (Galilee). Verse 25 wraps up John's account: And there are many other things that Yahshua did, which if those were written one by one, not even the world as I suppose would be sufficient for the books that would be written.

Magdala
(Magadan, Dalmanutha): Mejdel. This small city on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee was about 3 miles N of Tiberias. Taricheae was a Greek name of the place called in Hebrew Migdal (Magdala), from 'taricheuein' to smoke or preserve fish "pickling places." The pickled fish of Galilee were known throughout the Roman and Greek world. Large quantities were taken up to Jerusalem at the season of the yearly feasts, because of the great multitudes. Barrels were also transported around the Mediterranean.

Babylon the Great & The Caliph Antichrist

The Kingdom is at Hand

We know what the Kingdom of Heaven is like, but what does Yahshua mean when he says it is near - at hand?  Is this the spiritual realm of our Creator? 

Luke 17:20

Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of Elohim would come, Yahshua replied, "The coming of the kingdom of Elohim is not something that can be observed."

Romans 14:17

For The Kingdom of Elohim is not eating and drinking (physical), but the righteousness and the peace and the joy in Yah's Set Apart Spirit (spiritual).

The Ruach haKodesh is the Spirit of Yahweh who spoke creation into existence. It is this same Spirit that caused His Son to be born. It is the same Spirit Yahshua gave to his Apostles ten days after he ascended to heaven. It is this same Spirit that becomes apparent within us as we continue to read and study the Word of Yahweh our Creator. His Kingdom is the righteousness, the peace and the joy in the Ruach haKodesh.  When we become aware of those spiritual emotions, then we experience the nearness of His Kingdom. It is His Spirit that connects us.  

We won't find The Kingdom of Heaven by performing traditional rituals, eating and drinking and partaking of pagan holidays.  It is not a physical manifestation that can be seen in this world. Yet the Ruach haKodesh, who comforts us revealing the Truth of all things, teaches us just how close we truly are to the Kingdom of Heaven. By faith we shall find our reward- the righteousness, peace and joy -in our hope of the Good News in the Kingdom to Come.

Halleluyah!

Everlasting Consolation

Seals Opened First> Shofars Sound Next> Cups o'Wrath Poured

Seal #1 

White horse being ridden by one who goes out to conquer 

(Wars and rumors of war)

Seal #2

Rider of the red horse carrying a great sword, takes peace from the earth causing people kill one another 

(Nations and kingdoms will rise up against each other, fight each other.)

Seal #3

The rider of the black horse carries a balance, the price of food goes up and the oil wine (luxury items) are protected. 

(There will be famine, food shortages,)

Seal #4

Pale horse whose rider is Death and is followed by the grave. He has authority over a quarter of the world's population to kill by wars, famine, death and wild beasts. 

(plagues, diseases and earthquakes in various places.)

Seal #5

Under the altar are seen the souls of them who were slain on account of the Word of Elohim and on account of the testimony to the Lamb which was with them. They cry out asking YHWH how much longer will it take before He judges and avenges their blood. He tells them to be quiet yet a little while until the consummation of their fellow servants and Brothers who were to be killed as they had been.
(We will be hated because of His Name)

Seal #6

The opening of this seal causes a great earthquake and the sun became black like sackcloth and the whole moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell on the earth as a fig tree casts its unripe figs. The heavens separate as a scroll is rolled up and all mountains and islands were moved out of their places. All the kings, nobles and captains, rich men, men of valor and every servant and free man hide for they know the day of their wrath is come and who is able to stand? 

It is still during this 6th Seal time frame that the four angels/Messengers held the four winds and another Messenger had the seal of Elohim to seal the servant of Elohim upon their foreheads - 144,000 = 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel = the first fruits of the harvest of the earth. There are a lot of preparations made before Seal 7 is opened, which trigger the 7 Shofars Event.

Seal #7

When this seal is opened there will be silence in heaven for about a half hour... the 7 Messengers will each be given a shofar. Fire from the altar will be cast upon the earth which causes thunders, flashes of lightning and voices and an earthquake. The 7 Messengers prepare to sound their shofars.

Shofar #1

Hail and fire mixed with water were thrown upon the earth - a third part of the earth was burned, a third part of trees and all green grass was burned. 

Shofar #2

What looked as if it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea causing a third part of the sea to become blood; a third of all the creatures in the sea died and a third of all ships were destroyed. 

Shofar #3

There fell from heaven a star burning like a lamp which fell upon a third part of all (fresh water sources). This star was called "Wormwood" and a third part of the waters became bitter, poisoned and many persons died from the waters. (Note: It, this star called 'wormwood', doesn't destroy the whole earth - it just affects a third part of fresh water sources, drinking water)....

Shofar #4

A third of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon and stars became dark and so the daylight is a third less bright as well as the night. 

Shofar #5

A star fell from heaven to earth and he was given the key to the abyss, which he opened and now the long haired demon locust with scorpion stingers are loosed to torment those who do not have the seal of Elohim upon their foreheads - for 5 months this goes on! More happens before the next Shofar is sounded.

Shofar #6

The four Messengers bound at the Euphrates are set free and they gather up the 200 million man army to go out and slay a third part of humanity. Much, much more happens.

Shofar #7

The kingdom of the world becomes the Kingdom of Y'shua.... 

Now comes the completion of the wrath of Elohim:

Cup #1

Malignant and painful sores upon those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. 

Cup #2

The remaining 2/3 of the sea and all sea life dies. 

Cup #3

The remaining rivers and fresh water supplies become blood. 

Cup #4

The sun scorches men with great heat but they do not repent 

Cup #5

The existing world kingdom turns to darkness and those who belong to it suffer pain and ulcers 

Cup #6

The Euphrates dries up so that kings from the east may cross. Demons that look like frogs leap from the mouths of the false prophet and the beast of prey and the mouth of the dragon. These spirits of demons go forth to all the kings of all the habitable world to gather them to the battle in a place called Armageddon. 

Cup #7

It Is Done. There are flashes of lightning, and thunders, and voices and a great earthquake like nothing before. The great city becomes three parts, and the city of nations fall; Babylon the great was remembered. Every island fled away and the mountains disappeared. A great hail falls from heaven upon men and the men blaspheme Elohim.

These events are listed in numeric order because it is the order of things.  Just as Yahweh numbered the days and months and years, He saw fit to number these end times happenings so we could read and understand what is to come.

What Y'shua tells us in Matthew 24 in answering the question "What will be the sign of your return and the end of the world?" lines up pretty darn good with Seals 1 through 5, as I noted in parenthesis (above in the Seals and below):

Let no man deceive you. Many will claim to be the savior and many will they deceive. You will hear of revolutions, wars and rumors of war. Do not worry, these things must happen but it is not the end yet. (Seal #1)
Nations and kingdoms will rise up against each other, fight each other. There will be famine, food shortages, plagues, diseases and earthquakes in various places. These are the beginning of sorrows. (Seals #2, 3 and 4)
Then we will be hated, delivered to afflictions and killed because we believe in Y'shua, Son of Elohim. Many stumble, hate each other and will report 'believers' to the authorities to save their own lives (Seal #5). 

Many false prophets arise and deceive many. Because of the spread of wickedness, lawlessness, the love of many grows cold. BUT whoever has patience until the end, he will have life. And this Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all the nations* - then the end will come. (Sometime after the 7th Shofar is sounded this happens: Revelation 14:6- A Messenger was seen flying in heaven. *He had the everlasting Good News to proclaim to dwellers on the earth: "Worship Elohim, and give glory to Him because the hour of His judgment is come and adore Him who made heaven and earth and the sea and the fountains of water.")

And when you see the sign of uncleanness (abomination) and desolation which will stand in the Set Apart place - those in Judea should flee to the mountains, do not hesitate or try to go back. There's no time to pack a bag or a lunch! Time's up. THEN there will be great suffering (tribulation) such as has not been before or will be again... And if those days were not shortened, not any flesh would live, but because of the chosen, those days will be shortened. (This begins the final 3-1/2 years before Y'shua returns). Time is shortened for His Set Apart believers else they would not be able to witness the heart breaking happenings when His Wrath is poured out on those left behind.  At the 7th Shofar they are gathered together in the clouds and prepared to inherit the promised land.

Do not believe those who say they saw Y'shua (or Jesus) 'here or there', for false teachers/preachers/messiahs/prophets will produce signs and wonders in order to help with the deception, if possible even the chosen. We are told beforehand so that we may recognize the times we are living in. Y'shua will be seen just as everyone sees the sun rise out of the east and it is seen even in the west, so shall the Son of Elohim be seen. There will be no mistaking it.

Immediately after the suffering of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shine its light, and the stars will fall from heaven and the powers of heaven will be shaken (Seal #6 will be opened). Then will be seen the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and all the tribes of the land mourn when they see him who comes upon the clouds of heaven with great power and glory. He sends his Messengers with a large trumpet (shofar) and they will gather his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other, the entire earth.

And so, my friends, as of this date, we await the opening of Seal #6....  

Day of Wrath

Exodus 32:34

"But go now, lead the people where I told you. 

Behold, My angel shall go before you; nevertheless 

in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin."

Zephaniah 1:15 - That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, A day of waste and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness

Isaiah 13:9 - Watch out! The Day of Yahweh Elohim is coming- cruel, with wrath and fierce anger -to turn the entire inhabited earth into a desolation and to annihilate sinners from it.

Proverbs 11:14- Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

Ezekiel 7:19 - They will fling their silver into the streets and their gold will become an abhorrent thing; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Yahweh. They cannot satisfy their appetite nor can they fill their stomachs, for their iniquity has become an occasion of stumbling.

Ezekiel 6:12 - "He who is far off will die by the plague, and he who is near will fall by the sword, and he who remains and is besieged will die by the famine. Thus will I spend My wrath on them.

Isaiah 13:13 - Therefore I'll make the heavens tremble. The earth will shake from its place at the wrath of the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, at the time of his burning anger. 

Psalm 110:5 - Yahweh Elohim is at Your right hand; He will shatter kings in the day of His wrath.

Jeremiah 40:3 - ...and Yahweh has brought it on and done just as He promised. Because you people sinned against Him and did not listen to His voice, therefore this thing has happened to you.

Romans 2:5 - But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when Yah's righteous judgment will be revealed.

Revelation 6:16 - And they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?”

Romans 2:8 - But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.

John 3:36 - The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.

Once upon a time I was accused of being a 'gloom and doomer'. I was early in my walk and began learning Scriptures when I first read the book of Revelation. No wonder I was warning those who would listen about the end times!  But knowing that our Creator has become so angry with the unrepentant ones should turn a light on in our brains showing us we should choose to obey the Father and gain His blessing.  His day of wrath is coming.  Lets be part of His chosen so we do not take part of the plagues.

We have been given fair warning of future events and how to prepare for end. Our choice is simple: 

• Follow the Instructions given by Yahweh
• Don't follow the Instructions given by Yahweh

Acts 5:22 - We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Ruach haKodesh, whom Yah has given to those who obey Him."

If we have Faith in our Creator we should trust Him to know what is best for us.  He does, and He provided all the Instructions we'll ever need to live a good life on this old earth - if we choose to obey and live accordingly.

Deuteronomy 30 - lightly paraphrased 

(please read your 'bible' for all the details)

And when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you remember them, among all the nations where Yahweh Elohim has driven you, and you turn back to Him, you and your children, and obey His voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul, then He will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and He will gather you again from all the peoples where He has scattered you. If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there the Yahweh your Elohim will gather you. And He will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, that you may possess it. Yahweh will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you will love Him with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. And the He will put all these curses on your foes and enemies who persecuted you. And you shall again obey Yahweh and keep all His commandments. Yahweh Elohim will make you abundantly prosperous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your cattle and in the fruit of your ground. For the He will again take delight in prospering you, as he took delight in your fathers, when you obey Yahweh Elohim, to keep His commandments and His statutes that are written in this Book of the Teaching, when you turn to the Yahweh Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul.

For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it. 

See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. If you obey the commandments of Yahweh your Elohim that I command you today, by loving Him, by walking in His ways, and by keeping His commandments and His statutes and His rules, then you shall live and multiply, and Yah will bless you in the land that you are entering. But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today, that you shall surely perish. You shall not live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to enter and possess.  I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, loving Yahweh, obeying His voice and holding fast to Him, for He is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that Yah swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
