End of Liberty

The Harvest.

Shalom Brother!

I am literally writing this note with the scriptures at my side, and I am going to write them out to you with as little eisegesical interpretation as I can, YHWH willing. So, please forgive my grammatical errors. Let us start at the beginning and work our way through the Tanak.

Genesis: 12:6-7, 13:14-15, 15:18.

12:6 And Abram passed passed through the land to the place of Shekem, as far as the terebinth tree of Moreh. At that time the Kene’anites were in the land.
12:7 And YHWH appeared to Abraham and said, “To your seed I give this land.” And he built there an altar to YHWH, who had appeared to him.

13:14 And after Lot had separated from him, YHWH said to Abram, “Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
13:15 for all the land which you see I shall give to you and your seed forever.”


15:18On the same day YHWH made a covenant with Abram saying, “I have given this land to your seed, from the great river of Mytzryim to the great river, the river Euphrates,”

YHWH is telling Abraham in three different places of Genesis, are three different things. These statements are three different prophetic statements. The first statement is given referring to the first Exodus. YHWH doesn’t speak about giving the land specifically to Abraham, only to his seed. Also he’s standing in what is called the place of Shekem.

In the second passage YHWH does refer specifically to Abraham when he inherits the land of Israel and also to his seed. It is understood that he is standing in a high place looking over the lands around him.

In the third place, YHWH again does not include Abraham specifically in the promised Inheritance. He gives the land to his seed. Here he refers to the boundaries of his boarders. This is a reference to the end times gathering of souls (e.g. living people) before the messianic kingdom. There are going to need to be a lot of Abraham’s children alive to necessitate the filling of those boarders. From the past YHWH is declaring to Abraham, “I have given this land to your seed,” a future generation. This prophecy has not yet come to pass.

The other four books of the Torah are the pattern for how the end time gathering of the dispersed of Israel will take place. Search the scripture, “As it was from the beginning, so shall it be.” The 144,000 are the Mosheh of a future generation being collected from the ends of the earth, because they follow the lamb wherever he goes. He goes to collect his flock.
Now the whole of the Torah is a pattern for future events. I would like to specifically site Deuteronomy chapter 30 which begins:

30:1 And it shall be, when these words come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you bring them back to your heart among the gentiles where YHWH your Elohim drives you,
30:2 and shall turn back to YHWH your Elohim and obey his voice, according to all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your being, you and your children,
30:3 then YHWH shall turn back your captivity, and shall have compassion on you, and He shall turn back and gather you from all of the peoples where YHWH your Elohim has scattered you.
30:4 “If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under the heavens, from there YHWH your Elohim does gather you, and from there he does take you.

This has not happened yet. Now, although Our Heavenly father does love us unconditionally, he does not unconditionally show us his favor. The whole of the Torah is an if /then relationship. “If you live according to what I teach you, then you shall gain the blessing’s of my inheritance.

30:9 “And YHWH your Elohim shall make have excess in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground for good. For YHWH turns back to rejoice over you for good as He rejoiced over your fathers,
30:10 if you obey the voice of YHWH your Elohim, to guard His commands and his Laws which are written in this book of the Torah, if you turn back to YHWH your Elohim with all your heart and with all your being.


The choice is literally life and death. If you choose to do My Torah, you will live. If you choose not to obey My Torah, you will die. That is the choice of the whole world, but specifically for Israel. If you begin to live as a hebrew according to the Torah, your life will be changed, you will be grafted into the Inheritance of Israel, and everyone will see it. If you continue to live as the gentile, and moreover try to justify it to yourself, then you will not be distinguished from the masses and you will die with them.

Now the prophets talk about this great gathering of Israel in the Last days. In fact, it is the main focus of their message. But they also say that this gathering will not come without reproof. I would like to just take the Major Prophets and go line by line, but I will focus on specific points made. Ezekiel Chapter 20:33-38 specifically points out to Israel that deliverance will be like it was for the generation of the first Exodus. And there are consequences for our hardened hearts.

20:33 “As I live,” declares the Master YHWH, “do not I, with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, reign over you?”
20:34 “And I shall bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the lands where you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out.
20:35 “And I shall bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and shall enter into judgment with you face to face there.
20:36 “As I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of Mytzryim, so I shall enter into Judgement with you,” declares the Master YHWH.
20:37 “And I shall make you pass under the rod, and shall bring you into the bond of the covenant,
20:38 “and purge the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against Me. From the land where they sojourn I bring them out, but they shall not come into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am YHWH!”

This is telling us that the things that happened to the Generation of the Exodus will be the same for us if we don’t learn from their mistakes.

So there is a condition placed upon our redemption. Obedience. That is a life and death choice for the world, and specifically Israel. He’s going to clean up his house before he turns his wrath on the Gentiles.

The books of The Torah and the chronologies following are teaching Israel today of the consequences of disobedience. There is no room for “Sloppy Agape” and/or “Greasy Grace.”

Therefore, if we are to be “raptured” back to the land of Israel we need to be walking perfect before our Creator. As our father Abraham was told, so it is for us.

I apologize for glossing over vast amounts of Information in as few scriptures as possible. I can go into greater detail, but for the sake of this message getting exhaustively long. If you would like to continue this thread, we can midrash at length at another time.
For now I will go on.

Daniel 8:23-25 is a great testimony to what I’m saying:

8:23 And a sovereign of fierce face and skilled at intrigues shall rise up.
8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power, and he shall destroy incredibly, and shall prosper and thrive, and destroy mighty men, and the set apart people.
8:25 And through his skill, he shall make deceit prosper in his hand, and hold himself to be great in his heart, and destroy many who are at ease, and stand against the Prince of Princes-yet without hand he shall be broken.

After this vision Daniel says he is sick for many days. This is because he knows that many of the chosen people (Israel) will be destroyed before and even during the gathering.

Hoshea has this to say:

2:13 “And I shall punish her for the days of the Ba’als to which she burned incense and adorned herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers, and forgot me,” declares YHWH.
2:14” Therefore, see, I am alluring her, and shall lead her into the wilderness, and shall speak to her heart,
2:15 and give to her vineyards from there and the Valley of Akor as a door of expectation. And there she shall respond as in the days of her youth, as in the day when she came up from Mytryim.”
2:16”And it shall be in that day, declares YHWH, that you call my ‘My Husband,’ and no longer call me’ My Lord.’”

And Moreover He tells Isreal when His Judgment has turned from them that they will seek for Him and say:

6:1 ‘Come let us turn back to YHWH For He has torn but He does heal us, He has stricken but he binds up.’

Amos gives Israel this Warning:

5:18 woe to you who are longing for the day of YHWH! What does the day of YHWH mean to you? It is darkness and not light,
5:19 as when a man flees from a lion, and a bear shall meet him; or entered his house, rested his hand on the wall, and a serpent bite him.
5:20 Is not the day of YHWH darkness and not light? Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?

YHWH is warning everyone, especially Israel, don’t be running around saying, “ My gods going to save me! I will see no pain, I will be taken care of” He is warning those very people who have a bumper sticker on their car that states, “Don’t follow too close, I’m going up with the rapture.”

8:8 “Look, the eyes of YHWH are on the sinful reign, and shall destroy it from the face of the earth, except that I do not completely destroy the house of Jacob.”

Israel will see much grief in this time but he will not be utterly destroyed.

All of the prophets have something to say about this event. And much of it is very hopeful and wonderous. But make no mistake we shall all be humbled, we will be silent and serve YHWH or we will die.

In the book of Matthew Chapter 24, Mashiach says very plainly that the saints will be troubled and will have to endure. The saints will be delivered to affliction and death for His name’s sake before the great deliverance.

24:9 “and they shall deliver you up to affliction and kill you, and you shall be hated by all nations for may name’s sake.”
24:10 “ and many shall stumble, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.

What he is saying is that other so called “believers” will turn on one another because the persecution will be so great. False Prophets will come up and lead many astray and the love of the brethren shall become cold.

24:11 “And many false prophets shall rise up and lead many astray.”
24:12 “And because of he increase in Torahlessness, the love of many shall become cold.”

It doesn’t mean the believers stop loving, It means the love that is given is given in harshness. Messiah is telling us that things are going to be aweful for everyone. Israel will be thrown into the refining furnace of affliction. The world will be thrown into the furnace of chaos. Men will be working to remake the world in their own image. YHWH will be establishing his Millennial Kingdom. The paradigm between the faithful and the secular will be so polarized that families will be put at enmity. The rift between family members will be irreconcilable.

Take note Matthew 10:21-22

10:21“And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and a father his child. And children shall rise up against parents and shall put them to death.”
10:22”and you shall be hated by all for My Names sake. But he who shall have endured to the end shall be saved.”

He is telling you directly in his own words that your own family will have you destroyed because your world view conflicts with theirs. And because you believe you will be delivered, they will offer you up, to prove to themselves and to you that he won’t.
This is before the deliverance. This current New World View is dividing families today.
And the argument is becoming Vehement against Messiah.

10:23 “And when they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For truly, I say to you, you shall by no means have gone through the cities of Israel before the son of Adam comes.”
10:24 “A taught one is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.”
10:25 “It is enough for the student to become like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the House Be’elsabul, how much more those of his household!”

He’s telling you that you will be very troubled before he comes. You today. Hes telling you if you should be apprehended and offered up to burning in a little black plastic box:

10:26 “Therefore do not fear them. For whatever is covered shall be revealed, and whatever is hidden shall be made known.”

We don’t have to fear the coming insurrection. There are many saints that will be executed, excoriated, maimed and killed. But that’s okay, because we win our crown.
These are the conditions of the world that will make all of Israel cry out in repentance, in unity, for Yahushua. Then salvation will come.

This generation will see and understand the mysteries of everything Massiah has said to his taught ones. We in America have known no tribulation, like the rest of the world has seen and is seeing. But that time has passed. The polarizing of America in this time along with fiscal and social collapse will bring on chaos that we have never seen before. The faithful will be persecuted. For in the new world order there is no place for the God of our fathers.

Look at the example of the 12 that were closest to Mashiach. They all died for what they believed. Even Paul died having exhausted his fortune for the cause.

Now look at this verse from revelation:

6:9 And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the beings of those having been slain for the Word of Elohim and for the witness they held.
6:10 and the cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Master, set apart and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
6:11 and there was given to each of them a white robe, and they were told that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brothers, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

There will be saints on earth in that time of the tribulation dying for the testimony of the truth. It is written.

Now also, Chapter 20 after the great war and Satan is bound away for a thousand years:

20:4 And I saw thrones-and they sat on them, and judement was given to them – and the lives of those who had been beheaded because of the witness they bore to Yahushua and because of the word of Elohim, and did not worship the beast nor his image, and did not receive his mark in their foreheads or upon their hands. And they lived and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years.

It’s very clear that there will be believers in the earth through all of the last days.

Now about the 144,000. they are also in the earth. They are the gatherers of the great end time harvest. They are like the Moses for all the Isrealites in the earth. Because all of Israel was in Egypt, YHWH only needed to make one messenger of deliverance. It was a localized incident. But in this great end time harvest there will be a 144,000 that is 12,000 from each tribe to go out and collect Israel. Just as Mosheh went out following after the messiah wherever he went, likewise the 144,000 will follow Messiah wherever he goes. Moses led 6 million out of Egypt. The 144,000 will lead 600 million out of the bondage of a global Babylonian system.

Please, don’t take my words for it. Search the scriptures for yourself and see that they teach you the same lessons or not. There are so many passages that I have left out in this writing. But this will point you in the right direction. Please study and find yourself approved.


Shalom
