“Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is At Hand”
Matthew 4:17
“Many Scriptures have been deleted, ignored, untaught, and replaced with erroneous doctrines, tainted with anti Jewish attitudes and pagan rooted customs resulting in man-made religious traditions””
Through this teaching, the Holy Spirit is magnifying some very vital Scriptural mandates that have, by and large, not been taught and embraced in Christianity and must be acknowledged as the irrefutable Word of God (2 Corinthians 7:10). The Lord Yahveh says “… to this one I will look, to one who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word” (Isaiah 66:2). Yahshua (Jesus) “is the light of revelation to the Gentiles” and He is shining a bright light on scriptural mandates that He spoke directly to all Gentile believers (John 16:8). Many of these Scriptures have been deleted, ignored, untaught, and replaced with erroneous doctrines, tainted with anti Jewish attitudes and pagan rooted customs resulting in man-made religious traditions. Yahveh’s word never changes, He strongly cautions us, “Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of Yahveh your God that I give you” (Deuteronomy 4:2).
Listen to Apostle Peter’s admonition, “Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position” (2 Peter 3:17). Our repentance must address all anti-Semitism and its deceptive forms of “replacement theology”* that come up against the Word and will of our holy God and Savior, and the Hebraic root of our faith.
May the light of the Holy Spirit “convict us of sin, righteousness and judgment to come …” (John 16:8). Yahshua (Jesus) is “the light of the world” (John 12:8). “If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another [redeemed Jews and Gentile united together on the holy biblical Hebraic root], and the blood of Yahshua [Jesus] His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us” (1 John 1:6-10).
“These teachings are magnifying the messages that have been given in Messiah’s love to help His beloved redeemed Gentile children understand certain scriptural truths that are vital to their holy walk with their God and Savior”
Sin separates us from the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 59:2). At this critical time at the end of this age, things are changing dramatically as all can see. We also see a major transformation of Christianity no longer being “the salt and the light” because of so much compromise (Matthew 5:13-16). At the end of the age of the Gentile church system, the Holy Spirit is loudly sounding the shofar with biblical truth to get our attention (see Romans 11:25). He says in Isaiah “Cry loudly, do not hold back; Raise your voice like a trumpet and declare to My people their transgression … their sins” (Isaiah 58:1). These teachings are magnifying the messages that have been given in Messiah’s love to help His beloved redeemed Gentile children understand certain scriptural truths that are vital to their holy walk with their God and Savior. He is saying, “Do not be arrogant toward the [original Jewish] branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you” (Romans 11:18). Do not be deceived, do not rise up against the biblical knowledge of the holy root of your faith and the ancient foundation of biblical truth, both are Hebraic through and through from beginning to end.
There is one God, and He the Mighty One of Israel, there is one Savior, who the Jewish Messiah, and there is one heavenly messianic kingdom that is “coming down from heaven”, whose twelve gates, have written on them “the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel” and on the twelve foundation stones of the New Jerusalem are written, “the twelve names of the twelve [Jewish] apostles of the Lamb” (Revelation 21:2,12-14). No one can enter those eternal holy gates who are harboring any seeds of falsehood, attitudes, or actions that come from the unholy satanic root of anti Semitism and replacement theology. Yahshua (Jesus) made this horrifying reality very clear by declaring, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ (Matthew 7:21-23)
“Anyone who “adds, deletes, or replaces His Word” is inevitably embracing and spreading lies, which is of Satan, whom Yahshua (Jesus) said, “is the father of lies.” Do not be deceived, “no lie is of the truth”
Any professing believer who becomes arrogant against the holy Hebraic root and the Jewish people will find themselves fighting against the very God and Savior they profess to know and love. They will be in great danger as Paul warned of being “cut off more quickly than the original Jewish branches” (See Romans 11:22). Take heed, “GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE” (James 4:6). It is written, “Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin” (James 4:17). “For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgment … It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews 10:26-27,31). The Holy One of Israel, loves all of His children, but will not break His sovereign covenant of blessings and curses upon those who “bless or curse the Jewish people”. Anyone who “adds, deletes, or replaces His Word” is inevitably embracing and spreading lies, which is of Satan, whom Yahshua (Jesus) said, “is the father of lies.” Do not be deceived, “no lie is of the truth” (Genesis 12:3, Deuteronomy 4:2, 1 John 2:21, John 1:16, 8:44).
At the end of the age, there is the inescapable urgency to repent of all sin in order to avert all judgments due to sin and sinners. There is a mercy seat in the heavenly temple where the blood of Yahshua (Jesus) the Lamb, in grace and infinite love, is instantly available to all who come humbly in true repentance. This is the utmost love of the God of Israel, who gave His Son, so that we, both Jew and Gentile, can come boldly before the throne of grace to receive the ultimate mercy of the Lamb’s atoning blood, covering and cleansing us of repentant sins and adorning us in the righteousness of Yahshua (Jesus) Messiah. Only then will be welcomed into the presence of the Most High King of Glory, the Holy One of Israel, blessed be His name Yahveh forever and forever! Holy, Holy, Holy, is Yahveh God Almighty! (Revelation 4:8,11) His very life changing glorious presence will change you from glory to glory that you bear more and more of the likeness of your Jewish Messiah Yahshua. May you be firmly established on the holy Hebraic biblical roots of your faith, never to move from your “secure position” in the presence of the One who redeemed and united both Jew and Gentile as “one new man”, a holy people for His praise, honor, and glory (2 Peter 3:17, Ephesians 2:14-16). Yahveh, the Holy One of Israel and Yahshua (Jesus), the Risen King of Kings and Messiah, is beckoning us from on high to come boldly to the mercy seat, the altar of repentance, “beseeching us to present our bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is our spiritual service of worship” that is due to Him for all that He has done for us (Romans 12:1). Therefore let us heed these words of Yahshua (Jesus), Repent, repent “repent, for the kingdom of heaven, is at hand” (Matthew 4:17).
* ”Replacement theology" teaches that the church has replaced Israel in God's plans, prophecies, and blessings.
It is vital that we seek to know and do the will of our God and Savior because, “There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death” “but those who do the will of God live forever." Time is short and “the Holy Spirit is convicting us of sin, righteousness and judgment to come”. The Eternal Righteous God is proclaiming, “there is a time of ignorance that God overlooks, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent. For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man [Yahshua/Jesus] He has appointed." Like a loud trumpet (shofar) His Word is proclaiming , “Now is the day of salvation if you hear His voice do not harden your heart”. We have included a prayer for those who feel the convicting power of the Holy Spirit and have a compelling desire to repent for not knowing and upholding the biblical mandates magnified through this series. May Yahveh, the Holy One of Israel, through Yahshua (Jesus) the Messiah, bless you with the power of His atoning, delivering, cleansing blood and clothe you in His righteousness"
A PRAYER OF REPENTANCE FOR GENTILE PRIDE
Yahveh, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, You sovereignly promised in Genesis 12:3 to bless anyone who blesses and to curse anyone who curses Your people, Israel. You’re a just King, Lawgiver and Judge, and You will act in righteousness. Your blessings and curses will show no favoritism; they’ll fall upon the appropriate recipients, at the time when You come to judge the world in righteousness. I am so sorry and repent, for I’ve grieved Your Holy Spirit. I’ve confessed You with my lips, but my heart has been far from Your heart for Your people, the Jews. I’ve called You “Lord and Master” in one breath, yet in some ways I am guilty of wrong attitudes of anti-Semitism and replacement theologies regarding Your people. I have not esteemed the Jewish people by embracing them with a humble heart, filled with love, compassion, and gratitude. Please forgive and cleanse me with Your atoning blood.
Yahshua (Jesus), You poured out Your blood, to save both Jews and Gentiles by “tearing down the dividing wall” that formerly had excluded all Gentiles from Your promised blessings that were first and foremost to Your Jewish people (Ephesians 2:14). Because I was ignorant, I did not know and remember the biblical mandates and warnings. I allowed that dividing wall to be reconstructed by embracing replacement theologies and its unholy root system with it’s deceptive mixture of truth and lies. I, along with so many “professing believers”, have opposed Your perfect will, to reconcile Jews and Gentiles into “one new man” (Ephesians 2:15). How very grievous this is to You, and how very sorry I am for disobeying Your biblical mandates to the Gentiles. Please forgive me for my ignorance, carelessness, and pride.
Thank You for humbling me and causing me to remember that I was once an alien (Ephesians 2:19), “an excluded Gentile, having no hope” or inheritance in Your sovereign promised blessings to Your Jewish people Ephesians 2:12). Thank You for extending Your mercy to the Gentiles who were “far away” (Ephesians 2:17) by bringing us near You. Yahshua (Jesus), I am humbly grateful to You for Your infinite love to adopt me into Your redeemed Jewish household of faith. Thank you for including me as an heir to the promised eternal blessings that are “to the Jews first” and now also to the Gentiles (Romans 1:16). I pray that together as “one new man”, through the blood of the Lamb, Your “revealed mystery” will be magnified, at last, here on earth as it is in heaven (Ephesians 2:15, 3:3).
The Holy Spirit has deeply impressed upon my heart Apostle Paul’s warnings to the redeemed Gentiles, to remember and “Do not be arrogant… but fear; for if Yahveh did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you” (Romans 11:18-21). The fear of Yahveh Almighty God has given me wisdom and godly sorrow, leading me to true repentance. I am so very blessed to call You, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob my God. I am eternally grateful as a Gentile foreigner to be mercifully joined together with Your redeemed Jewish people, that as one new man, established on the holy Hebrew root, we will worship You together in Spirit and in truth. All glory be to You, Yahshua (Jesus) my Lamb, You have done great and mighty things!
Thank You for renewing my mind with truth that I might know Your will and and do it (Romans 12:2). You have magnified Your biblical mandates showing me how far I, and corporate Christianity have veered from the uncompromised truths of the holy Hebraic root of our faith (Ephesians 2 &3, Romans 11). I pray and humbly repent that in mercy You will forgive and remove every root and seed of anti-Semitism and replacement theologies that I have inherited from my family lineage and the church system. May I and my family be an heir to the promised blessings ordained for those who bless Your people (Genesis 12:3).
Yahshua (Jesus) thank You for dying for me, shedding your atoning blood to cleanse me of my confessed repentant sins. You died to set me free from captivity to my sin nature, the world, and to destroy the deceptive works of Satan that have kept me in bondage to “a form of godliness” devoid of the Holy Spirit and the holy root (2 Timothy 3:5). I come humbly before the throne of grace to receive the covering of my sins in Your precious atoning blood.
I pray for Your Holy Spirit to fill me afresh with your grace and power to uphold your blood by wholehearted obedience to your uncompromised written Word and perfect will. You paid the unfathomable price to purchase me with Your sacrificial blood, I belong to You. You surrendered Your life for me and I surrender my life to You. Holy, Holy, Holy, are You Yahshua, the Jewish Messiah, the Lamb of God. Holy, Holy, Holy, is Your precious blood that was shed to redeem both Jew and Gentile together as one new man for Your praise, honor, glory, and dominion, forever and ever. Amen.
A Prayer For Eternal Life
Yahveh God, Holy One of Israel: I haven’t known You as my Heavenly Father nor have I known Your Son Yahshua (Jesus) as my Savior. Until now, I’ve resisted the call to humble myself before You, a holy God. I’ve chosen my own ways and desired my own paths; but today, I’ve heard Your voice speaking deeply into my stubborn heart. Your Holy Spirit is convicting me of my sins, God’s righteousness, and His judgments to come. I desire eternal life and not eternal death; eternal blessings and not eternal curses.
Your Word says if I confess with my mouth that Yahshua (Jesus) is Yahveh (LORD) and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead, I will be saved (Romans 10:9). I truly believe in my heart that Yahveh God came to this earth to dwell in the person of Yahshua (Jesus), and I confess with my mouth that Yahshua (Jesus) is my Redeemer and the Master of my life. I believe that He died in my place to forgive and cleanse me of my sins and the Mighty God of Israel raised Him from the dead.
I humble myself before You. I know that I am a sinner; my actions and thoughts are not holy. I know You are holy. Please forgive me for my sins. Forgive me for the evil inclinations of my heart and mind. I ask You to search my heart, convicting me more and more of the many ways I fall so short of Your holiness and grieve You. Thank You, Yahshua (Jesus), that You died for me to cleanse me from my sins and clothe me with Your righteousness. I am forever grateful for such infinite love and mercy that ransomed me, snatching me from the tormenting fires of Hell, so that I could live with You, in Your kingdom of heaven experiencing everlasting joy in Your glorious presence.
Thank You for being my Yom Kippur atoning sacrifice, and for writing my name in the Lamb’s Book of Eternal Life. I ask Your Holy Spirit to come and dwell in my redeemed heart giving me the grace and power to overcome my sinful flesh, the many pulls of this dark world, and Satan’s continual deceptive enticements.
Thank you for bringing me to the narrow gate and path to follow my Savior who is the only way and truth that leads to eternal life. Yahshua (Jesus), I am humbly grateful that You heard my prayer of repentance, to cleanse me with Your blood, making me into a new born again creation that now bears Your identity as a redeemed child of God. May Your Spirit of truth teach me Your ways to walk in Your paths with sincere devotion to obey Your will and delight Your heart. May I never look back and long for the pleasures of the flesh and it’s desires for this passing world. Yahshua (Jesus) You surrendered Your life as a sacrifice to redeem my soul, in return I surrender my life to You, never taking lightly such a great salvation. I pray that through my words and deeds and the power of Your Holy Spirit working in and through me, You will receive all the praise, honor, and glory that is due to You alone, now and forever! Amen and Amen.
