Amos 5:1-27
1 Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a
lamentation, O house of Israel.
This "lamentation"
speaks of a funeral march or dirge.
A funeral march is played for the mourners as they walk to the grave.
And, it is the "house
of Israel"
which is spiritually dead.
Amos 5:
2 The virgin of Israel
is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there
is none to raise her up.
"Israel",
as a whole, has lost her virginity.
She has fallen, never again able to recover her "innocence".
She has been
forsaken in her own land, with none who will raise her up.
The Holy Land of Israel is presently occupied by the 'good and bad
figs'. And, next, Satan's spurious religious/governmental beast shall
occupy her.
The scattered tribes of Israel (Christian nations) are forsaken even in
their own 'promised land'.
How?
The Christian nations have become filled with peoples who work against
YHVH and YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST.
These heathens have brought with them their traditions, their culture,
and their ways which are not of YHVH.
And, all these things are overtaking the people of Israel who were
promised these lands/nations.
But, it was the children of Israel who allowed these heathens to
overtake them in their own land.
What have we
done with GOD'S blessings?
Have we given all of YHVH'S blessings away to those who come against Our
FATHER, HIS Word, and HIS HOLY Plan?!
Amos 5:
3 For thus saith the
Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred,
and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of
Israel.
4 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye
shall live:
YHVH, YAHSHUA,
and HIS HOLY SPIRIT are the Way to LIFE.
Everything else is "death".
When the U.S. began as a country, she had her trials and tribulations,
yet she was the promised land to many Christians.
Now, there are so very few real Christians who call this 'promised land'
"home".
Our victories had, at one time, been great, overwhelming defeats of our
enemies.
And other Christian nations would happily join us in the fight against
YHVH'S enemies.
Yet, now we stand mostly alone, 'if ' and 'when' we seek to do as YHVH
would have us do against HIS enemies.
This country has become so very divided within itself, that our fights
against evil are not nearly as strong nor successful.
Matt
12:25
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom
divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house
divided against itself shall not stand: KJV
Luke
11:17
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided
against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a
house falleth. KJV
Luke
12:51-53
51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay;
but rather division:
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three
against two, and two against three.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the
father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the
mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter
in law against her mother in law. KJV
Amos 5:
5 But seek not Bethel,
nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall
surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.
Don't go to
'houses of religious corruption'. These can not help you.
Amos 5:
6 Seek the LORD, and ye
shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and
devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
Again, FATHER
has Amos warn Israel, and, remind them to seek HIM and they shall live.
"lest he
break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be
none to quench it in Bethel"
The "house
of Joseph"
is in regards, especially, to Ephraim and Manasseh, and where they were
scattered.
A great number of these of this tribe are in the U.S..
YHVH is a consuming fire. And, there is no one nor no thing which can
quench HIS Fire.
Amos 5:
7 Ye who turn judgment
to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
WORMWOOD
Any of several aromatic plants which yield a bitter, dark green oil
(Deut 29:18; Rev 8:11).
(from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Copyright (c)1986, Thomas
Nelson Publishers)
Deut
29:17-18
17 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone,
silver and gold, which were among them:)
18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe,
whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve
the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that
beareth gall and wormwood; KJV
Rev
8:10-11
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven,
burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the
rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of
the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because
they were made bitter. KJV
Amos 5:
8 Seek him that maketh
the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the
morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters
of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD
is his name:
9 That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled
shall come against the fortress.
10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that
speaketh uprightly.
Amos 5:
11 Forasmuch therefore
as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of
wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in
them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of
them.
12 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they
afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the
gate from their right.
Idol worship can
begin with the 'love of money' and 'power'.
Putting anything 'above' YHVH, Our FATHER, is so completely wrong.
Satan will take full advantage of these gaps men create in their 'wall'
and in their 'spirit/mind'. And, his evil spirit will enter into them.
But, Satan is a dead man. Anything he touches, also becomes dead.
YHVH will allow many of these who seek money and power, above HIM,
to receive these things in this earth age.
But, this earth age is temporary and temporal. If they have already
received their 'just deserves' from the things of this earth age, then
they will not have their inheritance awaiting them in heaven.
Money and power used for YHVH, during this earth age, will cause your
inheritance to be assured in heaven.
Amos 5:
13 Therefore the
prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
Are you prudent?
Are you wiser than the serpent?
Do you know better, by YHVH'S HOLY Word?
Sometimes, FATHER would simply have us keep our mouths shut. Those,
already under deception, will not hear you anyway.
Luke
12:58-59
8 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in
the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he
hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and
the officer cast thee into prison.
59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the
very last mite. KJV
Please note that
this spoken of in Luke 12 is not the same time of that which occurs in
Matthew 10.
Luke 12 is before the fallen angels arrive. Matthew 10 is after the
fallen angels are in the sight of flesh men, and their 'one world'
"beast"
has just been 'set up'.
Matt
10:17-20
17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and
they will scourge you in their synagogues;
18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a
testimony against them and the Gentiles.
19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall
speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which
speaketh in you. KJV
Mark 13 gives us the whole sequence of events.
Mark 13:1-37
1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him,
Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings?
there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown
down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter
and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when
all these things shall be fulfilled?
5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive
you:
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive
many.
7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not
troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and
there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines
and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Before the
fallen angels arrive, these things will all occur.
Mark 13:
9 But take heed to
yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in
the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before
rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
This is in
reference to 'nations', (not YHVH'S individual elect servants, at this
time).
The majority of the world is not Christian. The majority of the nations
were not founded on YHVH'S HOLY Law.
Therefore, it is the world (U.N. and other governmental organizations)
that brings these Christian nations before their councils. And, it is
many different 'religions' which use words of hate against YHVH'S
Christian nations.
Mark 13:
10 And the gospel must
first be published among all nations.
FATHER reminds us that HIS HOLY WORD of Truth must be published before
the whole world.
And, this particular time of "delivering up" shall be on an
individual basis.
YHVH'S servants must be delivered before Satan's disguised 'one world'
"beast", in order for the whole world to see and hear these
trials. And, then, a witness by all of YHVH'S servants shall be
published before the entire world, all at the same time, by HIS HOLY
SPIRIT, speaking through the mouths of YHVH'S servants, as it was on
that Pentecost day (Acts 2).
Mark 13:
11 But when they shall
lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall
speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in
that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy
Ghost.
After 40 days of
"infallible proofs" foretold by YAHSHUA in Acts 1,(which is
also the first 40 days of the great deception/apostasy of the world
after the fallen angels have arrived), then the trials will
begin against all who will refuse to bow to the disguised
religious/governmental "beast" that they "set up",
and against all who refuse to take their 'one world' 'buy and sell card'
, (which is in regards to the mark of the beast).
Mark 13:
12 Now the brother
shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children
shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to
death.
How will YHVH'S
servants be delivered up?
Loved ones will deliver YHVH'S servants up. Because these loved ones are
under the deception, they will honestly think that they are helping
those who they love.
Mark 13:
13 And ye shall be
hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the
end, the same shall be saved.
Before this time
of the greatest deception is completed, the world will come to hate
YHVH'S servants.
The world will think that YHVH'S servants are the 'evil ones'. And, the
world will think that these servants are those who are delaying their
'departure to heaven'.
Mark 13:
14 But when ye shall
see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let
them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house,
neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up
his garment.
The "abomination
of desolation"
speaks of the entire religious/governmental "beast".
This "abomination
of desolation"
began with the U.N. (one world beast) of earthly flesh men. There are
many things which have need to take place in the world before the fallen
angels are seen in the sight of earthly flesh men's eyes.
After the deadly wound to the 'one world beast, and the war which
ensues, then, can the fallen angels come in disguised as 'kings,
prophets, and great men of renown of old times'. And, the people of the
world will aid this "beast". And, Satan, himself, disguised as
'Jesus', arrives just a few short days before the time of the great
apostasy is finished.
Dan 9:27
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the
midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to
cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it
desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be
poured upon the desolate. KJV
This seven year period ("one
week" of
years) was when these events of the final days began.
It commenced on Passover 1998.
If we look to the first half of this week of years (the first 3.5 year
period), we will find a very great and grave bench mark.
In the last '21 day' period of this first 3.5 years, the events of
9-11-01 occurred.
This '21 day' period was completed, marking the "midst
of the week",
at the time of the "Feast of Booths" ("Feast of
Tabernacles").
FEASTS
Tabernacles, Feast of. References to the Feast of Tabernacles in the
Bible include Ex 23:16; 34:22; Lev 23:33-36,39-43; Num 29:12-32; Deut
16:13-16; Ezra 3:4; and Zech 14:16,18-19.
This festival was observed on the 15 th day of the seventh month to
commemorate the wandering of Israel in the wilderness. Features of the
celebration included a holy convocation on the first and eighth days,
and the offering of many animal sacrifices. The Israelites were also
commanded to live in booths made of palm and willow trees during the
festival to commemorate their period of wilderness wandering when they
lived in temporary shelters.
This feast is also known as the Feast of Booths.
(from Nelson's
Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Copyright (c)1986, Thomas Nelson
Publishers)
The second half
of this "one
week" (of
years) began in October 2001.
It was completed at the time of Passover 2005.
Another very great bench mark occurred December 26th, 2004.
This was the great earthquake under the ocean, which caused the tsunami
that devastated those "11" inhabited lands/countries, and the
'1' uninhabited land. Yet, the whole world felt the repercussions within
the governments of the world, the religions, the economy and education.
This benchmark earthquake caused a change in time and space.
Five months later would bring us to June 1st, 2004.
On June 21st (21 days later) marked the Summer Solstice.
Amos 8:2
2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer
fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of
Israel; I will not again pass by them any more. KJV
Mark 13:
28
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and
putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass,
know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all
these things be done.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels
which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his
house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work,
and commanded the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house
cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the
morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. KJV
So many signs have been presented in these last days, that one can not
even begin to enumerate them all.
Prophecy is being fulfilled daily.
When the "abomination
of desolation"
comes to fruition in these last days, in it's fullness, in the sight of
earthly flesh men, then can the deception be completed upon those who
make a choice to support it.
Mark 13:
17 But woe to them that
are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
But, unto those
who make a choice to support the "abomination
of desolation",
FATHER gives this warning of "Woe!".
Mark 13:
18 And pray ye that
your flight be not in the winter.
Fleeing is not
really an option. The whole world has been and will be afftected by the
"abomination
of desolation",
even before it is visble in the sight of earthly flesh men.
But, being prepared with FATHER'S Word of Truth must occur before this
spiritual flood comes with the arrival of the fallen angels.
Mark 13:
19 For in those days
shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation
which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be
saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened
the days.
Which days?
In the days occurring before the fallen angels visibly arrive.
The time of "affliction"
upon the earthly flesh men against men, nations against nations, and
kingdoms against kingdoms, occurs before the fallen angels arrive,
disguised as being angels from God.
{When the fallen angels arrive, heaven shall be closed, therefore no
earthly flesh deaths; the deception will be in full swing, therefore,
there will be a fake peace in the world at that time.}
If FATHER had not shortened this period of time, where men are killing
other men, mankind would kill itself off.
But, for the sake of HIS 'elected/chosen' servants, who must live
through these horrid days, FATHER has shortened this time period.
Mark 13:
21 And then if any man
shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him
not:
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs
and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
The deception in
these days of affliction shall also bring out and has brought out false
Christians and false prophets, that will spiritually seduce many. The
evil spirits on the minds of many of these "false
Christs and false prophets"
shall be the spirits of the fallen angels.
These "false
Christs and false prophets"
will bend and twist YHVH'S Word in such a way that many "called"
(but, not "chosen")
will be apostatized.
It is not possible that one of YHVH'S/YAHSHUA'S "elect"
could be apostatized.
Many may momentarily stumble, but they will not fall away.
Mark 13:
23 But take ye heed:
behold, I have foretold you all things.
Amos
3:7
Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto
his servants the prophets. KJV
Mark 13:
24 But in those days,
after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall
not give her light,
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven
shall be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with
great power and glory.
"But
in those days",
"after that
tribulation"
This is to say, after the world has tried to destroy itself, by way of
war: nation against nation, earthly flesh man against earthly flesh man,
then shall the time of the fallen angels, in the sight of man, begin.
"But in
those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the
moon shall not give her light,"
This period of "three
days of darkness"
was spoken of in the 9th plague.
Ex
10:21-23
21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven,
that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness
which may be felt.
22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a
thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for
three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their
dwellings. KJV
During those three days, "the
stars of heaven shall fall".
This is in reference to the fallen angels (heavenly dimensional bodies)
as they arrive in the dimension of this earth.
Who shall see "the
Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory"?
This is in regard to those servants who are in heaven "the
powers that are in heaven shall be shaken".
YAHSHUA has the control over all the "powers"
in the 2nd heavenly dimension.
"And then
shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great
power and glory"
These "they"
is speaking of YAHSHUA'S angels in heaven.
It is YAHSHUA'S angels whom HE will send, spiritually, to gather HIS
"elect from
the four winds",
and then, "from
the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven".
Mark 13:
27 And then shall he
send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four
winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of
heaven.
The
"elect" are joined into YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT, along with
YHVH'S/YAHSHUA'S servants in Heaven and in the earth.
--------
Again, consider:
"Now learn
a parable of the fig tree"
Mark 13:
28 Now learn a parable
of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth
leaves, ye know that summer is near:
29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass,
know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all
these things be done.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels
which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his
house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work,
and commanded the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house
cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the
morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. KJV
; When her
branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is
near:
29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass,
know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all
these things be done.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels
which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his

and commanded the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house
cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the
morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. KJV
Amos 5:
14 Seek good, and not
evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with
you, as ye have spoken.
Seek the good in
every situation and within all men.
In these end times, especially, it seems that most will look for any or
all hints of evilness, immediately, which may be within anyone or
anything.
FATHER would not have us be naive, concerning the fact that their is
much evil upon this earth, in these end days, for the evil spirits of the fallen angels have stung many minds.
This is also an "evil
generation".
FATHER has blessed HIS children of Israel so very much, and they have
turned from HIM, using those blessings against YHVH.
Deut 1:32-46
32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch
your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go,
and in a cloud by day.
34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware,
saying,
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation
see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
Deut 1:
36 Save Caleb the
son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land
that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he
hath wholly followed the LORD.
Deut 1:
37 Also the LORD was
angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
Deut 1:
38 But Joshua the
son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither:
encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Deut 1:
39 Moreover your
little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which
in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in
thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
Deut 1:
40 But as for you, turn
you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red
sea.
41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD,
we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God
commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye
were ready to go up into the hill.
42 And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for
I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
43 So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the
commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.
44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you,
and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
45 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not
hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye
abode there. KJV
But, again, if we seek the good in every situation and within all men,
even if it takes a magnifying glass or a microscope, FATHER will show us
that that every man and every situation has some value.
Do you want YHVH, Our FATHER, to be with you every time you speak?
HIS Words are powerful, healing, and will shine forth through HIS
servants who speak only that which is from HIM.
And, the words which come from your mouth (which are of HIM) will touch
the spirit of many.
Let me caution you, for there are some who call themselves 'Christians',
yet, they actually vilify Our LORD through their traditions, doctrines,
and their treatment of every person who is not of their denomination,
and their responses to every situation.
FATHER is not pleased with these people.
Amos 5:
15 Hate the evil, and
love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the
LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Discern between
that which is "evil"
and that which is "good".
It would seem to be a simple thing to "Hate
the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate".
But, many who "size up a situation, thing, or person" ("establish
judgment in the gate")
do not recognize that which is "good",
therefore is of YHVH, and that which is "evil",
therefore, not of Our FATHER, YHVH.
But, if you work for YHVH, Our FATHER, then you have need to rightly
divide the "good"
from the "evil",
from the beginning of each situation.
Amos
5:15-17
The remnant of Joseph.
The doctrine of the remnant (i.e., that there will be a
saved and purified faithful few, in whom much of OT prophecy will be
fulfilled) is prominent in the prophets (Isa 11:11; Mic 2:12; 4:7).

Ephraim and Manasseh are the two 'half tribes' out of Joseph.
The vast majority of the remnant of Joseph can be found living in the
Christian nations, with many, especially, dwelling in the U.S..
If we do as FATHER instructs: "Hate
the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate",
then it may be that Our FATHER "will
be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph".
Amos 5:
16 Therefore the LORD,
the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets;
and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call
the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to
wailing.
17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee,
saith the LORD.
18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for
you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into
the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very
dark, and no brightness in it?
Will the remnant
give FATHER a reason to be "gracious"
unto them?
"Wailing
shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas!
alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are
skilful of lamentation to wailing. And in all vineyards shall be
wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD. Woe unto you that
desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the
LORD is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a
bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall,
and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and
not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?"
This is in reference to the attacks upon the Christian nations,
specifically, the U.S. which are prophesied for these end times (see
Ezekiel 38).
The people will be running about, frightened, and calling for YHVH'S
(CHRIST'S) intervention, after this "land of unwalled
villages" is attacked.
Especially loud, will be these so-called 'Christian' assemblies, wailing
and ranting, calling to 'God' for their "rapture" or 'rescue'
from these events.
They do not even realize that YHVH is HE who is chastising them.
"Woe unto
you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day
of the LORD is darkness, and not light."
FATHER is talking to these who do not know the difference between the
spurious 'Jesus', and the True YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST.
The LORD'S Day can not commence until FATHER'S HOLY Plan is
accomplished.
2 Thess 2:1-17
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit,
nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at
hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come,
except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed,
the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or
that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God,
shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these
things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his
time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth
will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume
with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of
his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power
and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be
saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they
should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had
pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren
beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to
salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye
have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which
hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope
through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
KJV
FATHER gives a great analogy of someone desiring The LORD'S Day, when
they do not know the difference between the spurious 'Jesus' and The
LORD.
"As if a
man did flee from a lion,
and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his
hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him".
"Shall not
the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no
brightness in it?"
These who do not know the difference between the spurious 'Jesus' and
YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, because they have swallowed the deception, will
find great darkness within "hell" (that side of the gulf which
is 'away from' YAHSHUA, during The LORD'S DAY).
Amos 5:
21 I hate, I despise
your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will
not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat
beasts.
FATHER is not
pleased with all the so-called 'Christians', who play 'church', and play
at being 'holy', 'pious', and 'righteous'.
These so-called 'Christian churches' who offer up rapture and other
heathenistic traditions are not presenting that which FATHER desires.
YHVH desires the 'Love' of HIS children. And, the only way to offer a
true sacrifice of your 'love' is to know HIM, HIS HOLY WORD, and HIS
Way/Plan.
Amos 5:
23 Take thou away from
me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
FATHER does not
want to hear your songs of rapture.
These 'songs' are but noise to HIM, no matter how melodious these people
try to make them.
Amos 5:
24 But let judgment run
down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Those 'churches'
whose traditions and doctrines teach 'rapture' and other 'fallacies',
take away true judgement and discernment. As water runs off a ducks
back, their people do not absorb YHVH'S true and just ways.
And, as the flood of a mighty stream, YHVH'S foundation is eroded from
under their feet.
{In other words, the people do not have a leg to stand on for CHRIST,
YHVH, because they do not know HIS Truth.)
Amos 5:
25 Have ye offered unto
me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of
Israel?
26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your
images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
These so-called
'Christians churches' teach "Easter", instead of
"Passover".
CHRIST became Our Passover...not our easter.
1 Cor 5:7
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye
are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed
for us: KJV
CHRIST was conceived
in the womb of Mary in December. HE was born of that water at the time
of The Feast of Tabernacles (Feast of Booths).
YHVH'S HOLY Plan is perfect. But, these so-called 'Christians churches'
would have HIS Plan be off by at least 40 weeks, if they actually taught
YHVH'S Truth.
But, at least we can see that these so-called 'Christians churches' do
teach CHRIST The SAVIOUR. They do try to instill good morals.
Amos 5:
27 Therefore will I
cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose
name is The God of hosts. KJV
FATHER will
allow these so-called 'Christians' to go into the captivity of the
spurious 'one world beast' brought in by the disguised fallen angels and
the spurious 'Jesus'.
Again:
2 Thess 2:7-12
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth
will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume
with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of
his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power
and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be
saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they
should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had
pleasure in unrighteousness. KJV
