2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you …
Exodus 19:6 ‘and you shall be to Me a reign of priests and a set-apart nation.’
Ordinarily when referencing chapter and verse we use the King James Bible 1611; this translation being the one with which most are familiar. The above rendering of Exodus 19:6 is however from The Scriptures ’98 Version, considered a literal translation.
So then, in comparing the two sources we in fact find the word “holy” to literally mean “set-apart”. Obviously, in the initial connotation of “set-apart” we find the idea of separate. With the course of study, one discovers that Apostle Paul is referencing here unto the Corinthians that which was written in Isaiah’s 52nd chapter. To the nation called Israel, understanding the wisdom of separation is by Torah, and to the nations called Gentiles its offering is by grace; until the times of the Gentiles find fulfillment. Nonetheless, separation is a requirement to Christian and Jew alike, which solicits understanding and application as a measure of obedience that pleases “THE FATHER”
The understanding of who is Israel properly (in this discourse) should be this; the nation or people “chosen” by Yahweh. There exists a lengthy and well-documented course of development concerning this nation. Summarily discussed, and painstakingly defined, throughout historical record as well as per scriptural evidences, we understand Israel existence to be for divine purpose. The origin of Israel by no means began with the re-naming of the single patriarch we reference as Jacob the son of Isaac or Ya’akov ben-Yitschak to become Yisrael. Of necessity, one would have to include Isaac and Abraham and Noah and Adam … would they not? So then, scripture rightly divided also presents the evidence that not all who descended from Adam were to become the chosen; at least not within the center, narrow and straight path as represented in the lineage of Shem. Certainly not all souls gendered from and through Noah were set apart to become the apple of the Creator’s eye; nor did all of the children of Abraham find acceptance into the fold of believers when their relative representatives actually stood before the true shepherd two plus millennia ago. Additionally and by necessity, we will also explore in due time the terminology rendering “chosen” in this treatise.
Now to those who then stood before the “I AM” proclaiming in partial truth and understanding that they were indeed the children of Abraham – “The Jews” –Yahushua (Jesus) said, “Ye are of your father the devil”. (Please read the entire eighth chapter of John’s gospel.) These certain Jews sought to kill Jesus because he told them the truth; he explained how Abraham never sought to kill him when he himself had told Abraham the truth. Situated herein is a great mystery! So then, inasmuch as there is no new thing under the sun, just as then – so it is now – we find the many who claim today to be children of God who readily reject truth and are ready to fight when it rubs them the wrong way. The many we reference are certainly the “called” but emphatically not the “chosen” – and we all know “many”. It is indeed a strange summation, by which some assume an attachment to God as a child and are obviously unattached to truth. Truth trains all “his children” in the way they should go – through life-mortal – in order to reach life-immortal.
Aren’t “The Jews” the chosen people of God; isn’t that what the absolute majority of the so-called Christian clergy teach along with sundry other partial truths? Precisely so my friend, that is exactly the teaching of today! The truth is many were the called and Israel became the chosen (Matthew 22:14) – Israel and NOT those who claim to be of the single tribe of “Judah” and certainly not those who deny the Torah or teaching delivered by Moses which invites them to be engrafted as a branch into that center stem.
Israel’s progeny included twelve separated sons; each of whom inherited divine and covenanted promises granted to them posthumously through their bloodline, and then each carried additionally with them specific and divine prophetical determinations applied by Yahweh himself by the laying on of the hands and by the speaking of faith inspired words of an expiring 147-year-old man. (Genesis 49)
The Tribe of Judah/ Yehudah was just one of the twelve, it is from thence the Jews/ Yehudim claim to have descended, and yet the scripture cautions those who have ears to hear to recognize and avoid those who claim to be Jews and are NOT, but ARE the synagogue of Satan (Revelation 2:9). Please notice beloved, the scripture does not say these deceptive impostors are “OF” the synagogue of Satan but rather they ARE the synagogue of Satan. Meaning this – just as Christ dwells within the believer for the sake of redemption or salvation, Satan dwells within the unbeliever for the sake of condemnation or destruction. Satan means adversary. When actively engaged in war, what better way to destroy the camp than to get inside the camp and work deceptively from within? No wonder Yahweh told His chosen people to separate from the entire Gentile or pagan, ungodly, idolatrous, nations encamped all around them.
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners (1 Corinthians 15:33).
The Greek word for communications here is “homilia“. We get the noun homily directly from the word homilia that denotes a sermon or a preachment on a religious or moral subject. Since most churchgoers are just blind followers, they are unaware that many so-called Christian sermons are actually evil dogmas that release and maintain deception. However, this word homilia renders primarily in its use as companionship, which actually leads to intercourse. These particular communications (that lead to intercourse) begin with conversations, intentionally and suggestively designed, as to arouse the mind and body to rush to complete submission; to the deviate control of evil that only the wise and prudent soul in Christ could ever hope to escape.
So then, communicating and cavorting with the wrong people ultimately leaves one “screwed” in the strongest sense of the “F” word. One impregnated with the enemy’s desire has no choice in the matter but to deliver and pass along his evil influence; the law of nature calls for the inevitable birth of the seed planted. This above offensive slang reference is not intended for those who have not chosen to put away lying or who have neglected to make a conscious decision to speak truth with their neighbor (Ephesians 4:25). The term referenced is by intention to illustrate precisely in plain language what most people are unwilling to tell; those ignorantly and presently taken captive by any measure of the will of Satan must understand there is “good news”. Only a fool would not want to hear “good news” that is synonymous with truth! This exposé is a reasonable and crucial part of acknowledging the truth. It is designed to point out the door of escape, and forge implements by which one may travel the road to recovery. Redemption is a reality looming in “the will be” that is a sobering glance or taste discovered to exist in “the now”.
Sugarcoating words, in terminologies and strategies called vain philosophies, and never calling a spade a spade fail to get to the crux of the matter.
Why in “the now” [presently] does one discover himself in a mess, a quandary in which there seems to be no apparent escape? It is because the teaching must be learned and aptly understood. One cannot flirt with a little evil; a little leaven affects the whole lump … period! A soul is effectively conceived when consciousness makes a choice. Given the parameters of initial understanding, a soul chooses to either journey the straight and narrow path ordered in life or the broad and scenic tour that includes knowledge good and evil that leads to destruction. The law, or “Teaching” which is a more correct interpretation of “Torah,” mandates eye for eye – tooth for tooth – measure for measure. However much time spent under the influence of evil, must eventually by that same measure, yoke one with the higher and better nature called good.
The scenic choice spoken of above requires this of every soul that chooses a body in which to journey through “existence” until that soul finds the revelation of the “oneness of existence”.
The Greek word kokos (evil) in front of communications (homilia) speaks for itself. However, it is equally interestingly enough to point out that kokos primarily and intrinsically means worthless or injurious; and this is precisely what the majority of so-called Christian preaching today is – worthless and injurious – EVIL. Why you ask, would I dare propound such an oratorical stance … because … the heart of worthless preaching does not contain the purity of the WORD OF YAHWEH and will never accomplish what it was sent forth to put in effect. (Matthew 15:6, John 1:1, Isaiah 55:11.)
By the way, Ephesians 4:29 teaches this: Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth…. The Greek used in this case for communication is “logos“; it always refers to something spoken. In fact, it’s the word used for “word”. Evidently, the usage of homilia denotes specificity in the above scripture.
Meek instruction must always follow the rebuke that Our Father has promised to deliver to those whom He loves (Revelation 3:19). The scripture admonishes all to REPENT – for the kingdom is at hand and all have sinned and fallen short of the glory intended for us in our creation or our coming into “existence” by Our Creator (Matthew 3:2, Romans 3:23).
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).
Notice the order delineated; placed by inspirational reason, and called doctrine, this specifies our method of recovery. This perfect order of the precept of doctrine is the same that Yahweh offered elsewhere and had written prophetically by the prophet Isaiah. It is prophetical in each dispersing – meaning it is conditional; doctrine intrinsically holds the promise of supernatural intervention depending upon the degree by which one receives it.
Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Isaiah 28:9
The order of delivery or the preaching of sound doctrine – (Titus 2:1) is therefore:
#1- REPROOF
Meaning – [An act or expression of criticism and censure]
Reproof is none other than rebuke; at the very least it is a reprimand or scolding, however, the extent and the delineated consequence of the lecture, and any extenuating circumstances, lies solely in the prerogative of the ONE who is above all things. Learn the rules and learn the prerogative.
It seems as though most people never have a problem in telling a child:
“Well, it’s your own fault!”
“You shouldn’t have been doing that”.
“I’ve told you to watch where you’re going”.
Bla – bla – bla
Yet those same people are reluctant to share the obvious with a grown individual, that includes himself or herself that is able to understand better than the child is able to understand.
“You had it coming!”
“You reap what you sow!”
“Now … let’s see what we can do about it”.
Why do so-called Christians tend to think only in liberal policy? Where did they ever get the idea that it is just not Christian to criticize?
Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
#2- CORRECTION
Meaning – [The act of offering the improvement to replace the mistake]
Correction is the requirement needed to undo the wrong, the extent of which is as much as is within our power to do so concerning every peculiar circumstance in which a wrong action occurs. Here again – only a fool assumes the act at Calvary will undo the wrong one continually lives in. What the blind come away with after hearing “Jesus paid the price” is damaging. Listening is always within our power to do unless we maintain we have the right to live our lives guided by rebellious spirit that insists upon self-reliance disguised and convinced as a “free moral agent”. Some think because the body has matured so has the mind – NOT! Sometimes correction involves punishment; it is an unpleasant fact, and yet the so-called Christian leaders fail to provide explanation to those who do not understand the scars and memories they carry in life still blaming someone else for those very mishaps.
Ignorance produces an inability to understand the cause of suffering, and by it, these misguided souls ultimately blame God for their own poor choices in life. They never really become united with Our Father in their journey and fail to see that certain and accumulative circumstances through which they walk are called the shadows that precede death.
All humankind individually and collectively must descend to the lowest common denominator arena – before – the root of nature or the natural mind can be fully examined and found to be base. This is why the culture of society is bottoming out at an alarming rate, and at the same time on the verge of changing for the good. It is here that the consequences’ for eating the fruit of good and evil are examined and understood. The valley cultures and perfects the experience that is required before our ascension can effectively begin. How we traverse perilously through times and places then becomes the result of our collective individual choice. It is then, every preceding choice made concerning one that helps fashion the individual and present choice.
David, a King in Yisrael received divine, secret, and regal Torah – Teaching – reserved only for Kings in Israel said this: Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. (Psalms 119:67)
How then are those who insistently keep the comforter at arm’s length, ever fully and conscientiously embraced of grace, when they have little or no understanding concerning His love to be conditional and offered by His own proclamations?
Did I say conditional? Yes, I did – and you thought it to be unconditional; I know you did. It must be the teaching of “the blind leading the blind” that would cause one to believe a lie and be damned; it must also equate with the ending of the melodic lyrics and we “all fall into the ditch”.
In order to experience knowledgeably the things of promise and providence once issued from Our Father we must draw near to him in obedience; that is to say, to hear His commandments so we can hear Him through the tender mercies of His “FATHER” presence. (Deuteronomy 32:39, Hosea 6:1.)
Psalms 39:11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity.
#3- INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS
Meaning – [Instruction – a message describing how something is to be done]
[Righteousness – adhering to moral principles]
Understanding instruction is the easier part of the equation; it can simply mean the teaching required to initiate or to impart thoroughly the understanding of the subject matter at hand. Righteousness on the other hand is a bit more challenging. Certainly to instruct someone in THE TRUE belief system or as it were “THE TRUTH” is a phenomenal concept especially in light of Abraham’s belief.
And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. Genesis 15:6
Tsedeq (צדק) is the Hebrew word for righteousness; from it – renders righteous, integrity, equity, justice, straightness, virtue.
It means RIGHTNESS as opposed to WRONGNESS.
So then, THE TRUE belief system, i.e. TRUTH, tells us the following in James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Once more, the cause of one living in deception, or in the quandary previously mentioned, identifies as stemming from self. Simply hearing the word of righteousness in belief and becoming a practitioner of that instruction sets one on the road paved with gold and tried by fire. (Revelation 3:18)
The King and Psalmist David referred to the practice and the understanding as such in Psalms 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
It is the doing of the commandments, or the instruction in righteousness, that allows us to understand what the reason for separation is all about. It is called redemption; for there is NONE (redemption that is) away from His divine presence. Our righteousness is accounted to us in the doing of the word.
Deuteronomy 6:25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
2 Timothy 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
2 Timothy 2:26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
The mother of all living – the one called Eve – found herself in the same proverbial boat of dilemma and by it inferred upon us all the lingering effects. The snare of the devil began to be positioned through the introduction of the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life after he initially brought up the question of personal commitment concerning the things of God, which things were Godly instruction through commandment. Once LUST is conceived (James 1:15) it brings forth SIN and sin brings forth DEATH.
Eve in her cavorting with the serpent (evil communication – 1 Corinthians 15:33, Genesis 3:1-5) excited the flesh (which is enmity with Yahweh 1 John 2:16 w/James 4:4) and caused her to corrupt her moral habits or good manners as it were. The things that Eve surrendered to the serpent’s beguiling seduction belonged to Adam the Son of God; he was her head and she was to learn from him and none other.
And if they (women) will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: 1 Corinthians 14:35.
What the woman surrendered to Satan was given to Adam alone; her body was Adam’s bone and Adam’s flesh. It was the right and the blessing from Elohim to multiply and bring forth “God-image” offspring or SONS OF GOD to replenish and rule the earth in righteous dominion over all; including the beasts of the field, one of whom was the infamous serpent.
Satan slipped in (like so many whoremongers over the ages) and conquered the woman’s moral commitment and responsibility to God and family in an effort to usurp the right of the firstborn – just for starters! For all of you that think there is nothing wrong with just hangin’ and talkin’ with the wrong crowd or the wrong one – think again. This seemingly innocent practice is eventually identified as being the vehicle that allowed SIN to enter; into her and into the world. Furthermore, when you think in those terms of self-justification, it identifies you as a reprobate! Like it or not! It makes no difference whether the transgression is in willful or accidental opposition to “Thou Shalt Not” – the conclusion remains the same. Here the above-used slang will describe the outcome. Unintentional and without conscientious focus or not, it is still sin conceived through lust which is intercourse WITH the enemy. Violating traffic laws in today’s society garner appropriate fines; and a defense grounded in “ignorance of the law” buys no one a pass. It is the same with divine laws; limits and fines are posted in “Let there be”.
Why do you think the enemy slips around in the camp of God’s people? The leaders, the headship, the fathers, the husbands, the warriors, the watchmen, (and the list goes on), are all asleep and ignorant of the devices of Satan and they are un-willing to make a stand for the truth.
In order to make a stand for the truth one must know the truth, and to know the truth one must separate himself in order to discover the truth. The day of the Lord is fast approaching when Yahweh will execute just and final judgment. That day SHALL come upon the unprepared regardless of their own opposing ignorant assertions and they will be captured in the valley of decision having never made up their mind to execute the moral excellence of belief.
2 Corinthians 6:17 Be Ye separate saith the Lord.
Ezra 10:11 Separate yourselves from the people of the land.
Judges 2:2 And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice:
why have ye done this?
Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares; ungodly men….
So then, here in Jude’s writing is a question that begs an answer, although, the answer is obvious and ancient. To those whose search of the scriptures coupled with the desire to rightly divide the truth especially for the sake of understanding how eternal life is measured and secured, the answer in given. (John 5:39, 2 Timothy 2:15)
What is the question? Just where did these certain men, anciently ordained in condemnation (2 Peter 2), as ungodly blemishes among us come from; and when did they establish their roots in society?
Deuteronomy 29:18 … lest there should be among you a root….
As soon as they spawn, they are destined to flounder. Just as all who birth and begin their respective respiratory activity must learn to walk upon the path then set before them, all these were destined at birth to practice evil. Born to do the will of “their” father they slitter through life seeking instead of giving. Did Yahweh create evil men like Cain, or Korah, or Balaam? Hardly … for recorded in 1 John 3:12 is an emphatic statement telling us that Cain was of the wicked one.
Now just how can Cain be of the wicked one; unless the wicked one, whom we also identify as the serpent, the devil, Satan, the beast, etc., actually engaged in intercourse (or evil communication) with Eve “The Mother of ALL Living”? The answer is he did; he slipped around as an enemy in the camp, planted “his seed” or offspring and devised a plan endeavoring to make death sure and permanent for the “God-image” creatures of the creation of Elohim. Learn the parables of Yahushua HaMashiach beloved – He tells the tale precisely.
Provided we believe the Holy Writ, we know from whom the first suspected lie emanated; we are also accounted by record, the first murder; and if we will believe the Apostle John, we understand when the first adulterous act was committed. The divine notary obviously set the sin of adultery in view concerning the woman, when Cain broke open the womb and began to involuntarily breathe and live as a thief, by the perverted life that was empowered to him by the “Prince of the Air”. The essence of evil men is not to be reckoned and abstractly understood – they in actuality, physically, exist today – as thieves, robbers, liars, rapists, deceivers, and ungodly influences. They are the children of the wicked – the “Prince of the Air”. “His” children, “his” agents, constantly trying to kill, steal and destroy what belongs to one as being a child of Yahweh. Now if, perhaps, you do not believe this then you may be, perhaps, a child of my enemy and therefore, you must be re-born as a child of “MY” Father.
Matthew 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
Matthew 13:39 THE ENEMY that sowed them IS THE DEVIL;
Guess what … his scheming plan has seemingly worked even from the inception, which we may as well point out was completely signed off on, just as it was in the days of Job when the servant of Eloahh (God) was discussed and asked to be considered that he might merit higher knowledge and greater blessing. Are you still ignorant of the devices of Satan? Then I re-submit my former question – Why Are We Called to Be Separate?
For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: 1 Peter 4:3.
The above scripture references “the will of the Gentiles” as being clearly understood to be opposite the manners that Our Father originally instilled in His clay molding or model by virtue of the very breath He gave him. (Genesis 2:7)
Beloved, Our Father breathed the perfection of HIS spiritual radiance into the first Adam and placed in him a desire to know that HE might be known when that desire is filled.
The desire of the prodigal son was to receive “ALL” the essence of his desire as he then understood it, the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. The mother of all living had passed along an influence to him common to all men; his being born of woman made his learning experience to be of few days, full of trouble, and enslaved by lust and sin. Lust is merely perverted desire that was purposefully given that it might eventually be understood to be the true essence of the giver. The Creator by desire (His own good pleasure) set all things in creation to exist by that desire. Our consciousness or ego finds the existence of our soul by that same desire given and received from HIM. We desire, HE gives, and as articulated in scripture – desire accomplished is sweet to the soul Proverbs 13:19.
So then, when one by revelation discovers that the true purpose of desire is to be a receptor for giving, then we reverse all that we receive to its true purpose, to be all that we give. The epitome of this knowledge then renders unto HIM that wears the crown of the universe, a tested and true desire that longs to give all that one has that he might return as an unprofitable servant though he be a Son of the King.
When the swine helped culture in the prodigal son the knowledge of the lowest common denominator, he found the valley of which we speak and sought recovery from his “personal quandary”. When living in the body made of dust, David found his “personal” lowest point and felt an affinity common to the worms then traveling amongst the dust. (Psalms 22:6) His desire was then complete; fulfilled in illusion he therefore sought recovery. In victory, he proclaimed, “I shall not want”, “yeah though I walk in the valley”, “my soul shall not remain in sheol”!
Furthermore, after we were created and formed, we were made, and we then existed for His own good pleasure (Ephesians 1:5) and nothing is able to separate us from His love or intent of purpose (according to the scripture Romans 8:35) but we ourselves.
Please recall the aforementioned scriptures that tell us we oppose ourselves and deceive ourselves, however, we can also recover ourselves through the acknowledgement of the truth, which promotes righteousness. Abraham believed El and because of it, he was considered righteous. Here again, righteousness is NOT to be understood and practiced solely in abstraction. Theoretically applied, righteousness or truth of rightness remains just that – a theory! Creation and all that is therein is neither theory nor illusion when it comes to this aspect. It is the evidence of what is, and the composite of that once not seen; it is the substance of the very hope (hope is a vital part of creation) that inevitably brings us into the viewing presence of the Creator. Of all that is then presently in view our souls satisfactorily consume and find answers in knowing our present existence.
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Now – Elohim had it recorded this way, “Let there be” and again as YHVH, said, “I AM”. So then, scripture teaches: But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)
We are teaching a little-known fact concerning righteousness or right living; unrecognized by so many is that we should understand righteousness to not only be attainable but also mandated. It is essential to the entering into the Kingdom of Heaven and to the invitation to remain therein. Virtuous living added to faith in the word produces the temperance needed in a renewed spiritual mind in order to receive the knowledge of true salvation. Of course this hidden knowledge when thoroughly examined in Spirit produces a soulfully longed for patience.
This gift of patience allows us to embark and further the journey through contented travel arrangements made upon a narrow path that leads to the crown awaiting us – it is the mystery of godliness anointing perfected souls. The love experience at this receiving of the Holy unction from on high allows us to see Him as He is for we shall be like Him. (1 John 2:20, Colossians 1:27, 1 John 3:2)
The very life that we live, examined and weighed in the balance, shall accompany us in the end. You yourselves must choose to live righteously. I have preached well over thirty years and have always said the presentation of this gospel is to you for your consideration; you decide the path to tread. The just shall live by faith and from faith “to” faith. Once one’s own decision declines a measure of faith presented for consideration then one does not receive the next measure offered. That conscious deed is then set to record and because of the stumbling-block rule, ones journey home is now in delay and one returns to walk through additional shadows of death. The decline to believe is tantamount to a refusal to lay aside a weight or a sin that so easily besets us in the race that Paul insisted we are running.
By accepting instruction in righteousness, you thereby thwart the devil’s plan and the second death will have no hold on the body one waits to wit. His plan will always suggest that you choose to live unrighteous, or in unbelief, or in rejection of the next hidden truth, and these subtle suggestions always separate you from your Father and Creator. When one chooses to separate from Yahweh, and chooses to live by rules other than Yahweh’s, that individual with the help of evil influence has then created an evil man. Of course, Yahweh determined before the foundation of the world that all evil men were to be marked and confined by bonds according to the development and culmination of certain events that we are to recognize as they attach themselves to the element of time. At this juncture of time and space which approaches the end, the evil is to be utterly destroyed.
In remembering this truth beloved, which is that He declared the end from the beginning, also understand He obviously knows and knew all things in between. (Isaiah 46:10) Is this perhaps a mystery beyond comprehension? Not if you accept it.
So then, the untoward influences of those who swagger wantonly upon the broad road leading to destruction are definitely on the list of things to avoid. Some folks say, “if you lie down with dogs you get up with flees”. If that were the case you will soon begin scratching like a dog, which means you are now acting like a dog and eventually you will be eating your own vomit – like a dog! (2 Peter 2:22) Dogs are unclean animals according to the teaching of the Almighty and yet the consensus of the ignorant masses insists they are “man’s best friend” and “diamonds are a girl’s best friend”. What kind of foolishness will the ignorant masses continually believe, present, and defend as truth? Scripture contains a written declaration to this effect in Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
This knowledge, you understand, is that perfect knowledge spoken of previously. Hidden on a path that the eye of the vulture has never seen, it is ferreted neither by keen observation nor by special lineage. (Job 28:7)
Scripture tells us that had the princes of this world known anything concerning the hidden wisdom of the mysteries of God they would have NEVER crucified our Lord and Savior. (1 Corinthians 2:8) No fowl of the air, which is to say, no devil, no demon, no foul spirit, or angel of heaven has a clue as to what the measure of faith given to every man will produce when once activated.
It is the truth beloved and the truth will make you free. Verily, verily I present this – for your consideration.
Incidentally, this composition arose in my spirit because of alarming and accumulative evidences distinctly looming in so many around me that are seemingly clueless regarding the present circumstances in their own lives. And since none of these individuals are prone to sit patiently before my most-times lengthy expositions I have chosen to type in hopes that some will read and open themselves to Torah as did Mary who made a choice to sit and hear Yahushua concerning the in depth conclusion of the matter.
As to the terminology rendering “chosen” in this treatise I will address in another essay; however, I leave you with this conclusion – “chosen” is what you want to be!
