Yahusha speaking to His followers, also spoke to us today, beginning in Luke 12:41:
And Kepha said to Him, “Master, do You speak this parable to us, or also to all?” And the Master said, “Who then is the trustworthy and wise manager, who his master shall appoint over his household, to give the portion of food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master shall find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you that he shall appoint him over all his possessions….And that servant who knew his master’s desire and did not prepare, nor did according to his desire, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he who did not know, yet did what deserved flogging, shall be beaten with few. Everyone to whom much is given, from him much shall be demanded. To whom much has been entrusted, from him much more shall be asked. I CAME TO SEND FIRE ON THE EARTH and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have an immersion to be immersed with and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!…And he also told the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, ‘A storm is coming,’ and so it is. And when you see the south wind blow, you say, ‘There shall be hot weather,’ and it is. Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the heavens and of the earth, but HOW IS IT YOU DO NOT DISCERN THIS TIME?”
Let’s look at Malaki (Malachi) 3:1:
“See, I am sending My messenger and he shall prepare the way before Me. Then suddenly the Master you are seeking comes to His Kekal, even the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight. See, He is coming,” said YHWH of hosts. And WHO IS ABLE TO STAND WHEN HE APPEARS? FOR HE IS LIKE THE FIRE OF A REFINER and like the soap of the launderer. And He shall SIT AS A REFINER and a cleanser of silver. And He shall cleanse the sons of Lewi and REFINE them as gold and silver and they shall belong to YHWH, bringing near an offering in righteousness.
We can see what seems to be “cleansing” or “refining” taking place after Yahusha returns to earth in Matithyahu (Matthew) 25:
1 “Then the reign of the heavens shall be compared to ten maidens who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise and five foolish. those who were foolish, having taken their lamps, took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their containers with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom took time, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight a cry was heard, ‘See, the bridegroom is coming, go our to meet Him!‘ Then all those maidens rose up and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, indeed, there would not be enough for us and you. Instead, go to those who sell and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast and the door was shut. And later the other maidens also came, saying, ‘Master, Master, open up for us!’ But he answering, said, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ Watch therefore, because you do not know the DAY or the HOUR in which the Son of Adam is coming…Then he who had received two talents came and said, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents. See, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy servant. You were trustworthy over a little, I shall set you over much. Enter into the joy of your Master.’ And the one who had received the one talent also came and said, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed, and being afraid, I went and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’ And his master answering, said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seek. Then you should have put my silver with the banker AND AT MY COMING I would have received back my own with interest. Therefore take away the talent from him and give it to him who possess ten talents. For to everyone who possesses, more shall be given and he shall have overflowingly; but from him who does not possess, even what he possesses shall be taken away. And throw the worthless servant out into the outer darkness — there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.‘ And when the Son of Adam comes in His esteem and all the set-apart messengers with Him, then He shall sit on the throne of His esteem. And ALL THE NATIONS SHALL BE GATHERED before Him and He shall SEPERATE THEM ONE FROM ANOTHER, as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats. And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the Sovereign shall say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the reign prepared for you from the foundation of the world — FOR I WAS HUNGRY, and YOU gave ME food, I was thirsty and you gave Me drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in, was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me, I was in prison and you came to Me.’ Then the righteous shall answer Him, saying, ‘Master, when did we see You hungry and WE fed You, or thirsty and gave You to drink? When did we see You a stranger and took You in, or naked and clothed You? And when did we see You sick, or in prison and we came to You?’ And the Sovereign shall answer and say to them, ‘Truly, I say to you, in so far as you did it ton one of the least of these My brothers, you did it to Me.’ He shall then also say to those on the left hand, ‘Go away from Me, accursed ones, into the EVERLASTING FIRE PREPARED FOR THE devil and his messengers — for I was hungry and you gave Me no food, I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, was naked and you did not clothe Me, sich and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ Then they also shall answer Him, saying, ‘Master, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not serve You?’ Then He shall answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, in so far as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ And these shall go away into EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT but the righteous into everlasting life.”
We can conclude above that those the Master is talking to are all DEAD! This is the first resurrection, which ONLY those at the end of the age can take part in. This is also why the five foolish virgins show up AFTER the 1,000 year reign of Yahusha on earth and try to get into ‘New Yerushalayim,” and are in the ‘outer darkness’ and cannot enter in the Kingdom. Those who do not help those who do NOT take the Mark of the Beast and those who do get their fair rewards respectively. Now let’s continue this research by looking at 1 Kepja (1 Peter) chapter 1.
3. Blessed be the Elohim and Father of our Master OWYFZ Messiah, who according to His great compassion has caused us to be born again to a living expectation through the resurrection of OWYFZ Messiah from the dead, to an INHERITANCE INCORRUPTIBLE and undefiled and unfading, having been KEPT IN THE HEAVENS FOR YOU, who are protected by the power of Elohim through belief, FOR A DELIVERANCE READY TO BE REVEALED IN THE LAST TIME, in which you exult, EVEN THOUGH FOR A LITTLE WHILE, if need be, YOU HAVE BEEN GRIEVED BY MANIFOLD TRIALS, IN ORDER THAT THE PROVING OF YOUR BELIEF — much more precious than gold that perishes and proven by FIRE — might be found to result in PRAISE and RESPECT and ESTEEM AT THE REVELATION of OWYFZ Messiah, whom having not seen, you love; in whom you exult with unspeakable and esteemed joy, yet not seeing, but believing, obtaining THE GOAL OF YOUR BELIEF: a deliverance of lives.”
Notice the “deliverance ready to be revealed in the last time.” The coming Mark of the Beast will cause true Believers in Yahusha to refuse to take it, thus making them susceptible to hunger, thirst, nakedness, incarceration, and homelessness. Thus, those who are still alive will be delivered by Messiah. Look at Yeshayahu (Isaiah) chapter 9:
5. For every boot of one trampling in tumult and coat rolled in blood, shall be used for BURNING AND FUEL FOR FIRE. For a Child shall be born unto us, a Son shall be given unto us and the RULE IS ON His shoulder. Counsellor, Strong El, Father of Continuity, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His RULE AND PEACE there is not end, upon the throne of Dawid and over His reign, to establish it and sustain it with right-ruling and with righteousness from now on, even forever…And the people have not turned back to Him who smites them nor have they sought YHWH of hosts. And YHWH cuts off head and tail from Yisra’el, palm branch and reed IN ONE DAY. Elder and highly respected, he is the head; THE PROPHET WHO TEACHES FALSEHOOD, he is the tail. For THE LEADERS OF THIS PEOPLE LEAD THEM ASTRAY…For wrongness BURNS AS THE FIRE; it CONSUMES THORNBUSHES AND WEEDS and sets the bushes of the forest ablaze and they roll up like rising smoke. The LAND SHALL BE BURNED UP BY THE WRATH of YHWH of hosts and the PEOPLE AS FUEL FOR THE FIRE. A man shall not spare his brother, and cut down on the right hand, but shall be hungry; and he devours on the left hand, but shall not be satisfied; each one devouring the FLESH OF HIS OWN ARM.
Notice the very same themes of hunger and wrath and fire from Matithyahu chapter 25 above. Let’s continue with 2 Kepha (2 Peter) 3:
1. …I stir up your sincere mind, to remember the words previously spoken by the set-apart prophets and of the command of the Master and Saviour, spoken by your emissaries, KNOWING THIS FIRST: that mockers shall come IN THE LAST DAYS with mocking, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the PROMISE OF His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all continues as from the beginning of creation.” For THEY CHOOSE TO HAVE THIS HIDDEN FROM THEM: that the heavens were of old and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by the Word of Elohim, through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. AND THE PRESENT HEAVENS AND THE EARTH are treasured up by the same Word, BEING KEPT FOR FIRE, to A DAY OF JUDGMENT AND DESTRUCTION of wicked men. But, beloved ones, let NOT this one matter be hidden from you: that with YHWH one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. YHWH is NOT slow in regard to the promise, as some count slowness, but IS PATIENT towards US, not wishing that ANY should PERISH but that all should come to repentance. But THE DAY OF YHWH shall come as a thief in the night, in which THE HEAVENS SHALL PASS AWAY WITH A GREAT NOISE AND THE ELEMENTS SHALL MELT WITH INTENSE HEAT AND THE EARTH AND THE WORKS THAT ARE IN IT SHALL BE BURNED UP. Seeing all these are TO BE DESTROYED IN THIS WAY, what kind of people ought you to be in set-apart ehaviour and reverence, looking for and hastening the COMING OF THE DAY of Elohim, through which THE HEAVENS SHALL BE DESTROYED, BEING SET ON FIRE AND THE ELEMENTS MELT WITH INTENSE HEAT! But according to His promise WE WAIT for a renewed heavens and a renewed earth in which righteousness dwells. So then, beloved ones, LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS, do your utmost to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, and reckon the patience of our Master as deliverance, as also Sha’ul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him, as also in ALL HIS LETTERS, speaking in them CONCERNING THESE MATTTERS, in which some are HARD TO UNDERSTAND, which those who are untaught and unstable TWIST TO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION, AS THEY DO OTHER Scriptures.
Notice that the scripture above accentuates other new and old covenant writers and scriptures thereof concerning YHWH judging the world with FIRE at the end of the age, afterwards the earth is RENEWED WITH FIRE. So, let’s take a look at what Sha’ul (Paul) wrote in Revelation 1:
1. Revelation of OWYFZ Messiah, which Elohim gave Him to show His servants WHAT HAS TO TAKE PLACE with speed (remember that a day is as a thousand years and that he wants to have patience with His set-apart ones, wanting ALL to come to repentance. It has only been about TWO DAYS [one day equals a thousand years] since Messiah died, in YHWH’s eyes)….Blessed is he who reads and those who HEAR THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY AND GUARD what is written in it, for the time is near. ..See, He is coming with the CLOUDS and EVERY EYE SHALL SEE Him, even they who pierced Him (remember that He comes to gather the nations together and separate them, which would be at the end of the 1,000 year reign of Yahusha Messiah, and all eyes will be upon Him. Many had mocked this believing that since those who had pierced Him had long ago died, therefore the scriptures were wrong. But Yahusha separates them according to their own doings, which sends them to where their eternal home will be). ..and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Adam, dressed in a robe down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. And His head and hair were white as white wool, as snow and His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet like burnished brass, AS IF REFINED IN A FURNACE and His voice as the sound of many waters. And in His right hand He held seven stars and out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword and His FACE WAS AS THE SUN SHINING IN ITS STRENGTH. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as DEAD and he placed His right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid, I am the First and the Last, and the living One. And I became dead, and see, I am LIVING FOREVER AND EVER. Amen. And I posses the keys of the grave and of death…The secret of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are messengers of the seven assemblies and the seven lampstands which you saw are seven assemblies.”
As we can gain from other scripture, Messiah is the first fruits of the dead. The Two Witnesses who wear sackcloth will prophecy for a specific amount of time, then be killed, and on the third day rise from the dead and go up to heaven. Only AFTER the body has DIED and is DEAD, can it be transformed into the incorruptible and immortal, being able to live life everlasting. In the twinkling of an eye…
Now I will start talking directly to those set-apart ones who love Yahusha through the following scriptures of what to expect from Messiah in the day ahead throughout the entire world, beginning in Revelation 2:
“To the messenger of the assembly of Ephesos write, ‘He who is holding the seven stars in His right hand, who is walking in the midst of the seven golden lampstands, says this: “I know your works and your labour and your endurance and that you are not able to bear evil ones and have tried those who say they are emissaries and are not and have found them false; and you have been bearing up and have endurance and have laboured for My Name’s sake and have not become weary. But I hold this against you, that you have left your first love. So remember from where you have fallen and repent and do the first works, or else I shall come to you speedily and REMOVE your lampstand from its place, UNLESS you repent.. Yet this you have, that you hate the works of the Nikolaites, which I also hate. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. TO HIM WHO OVERCOMES I shall give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of Elohim. And to the messenger of the assembly in Smurna write, ‘This says the First and the Last, who became dead, and came to life: I know your works and pressure and poverty — yet you are rich — and the blasphemy of those who say they are Yahudim and are not, but are a congregation of Satan. Do not be afraid of what YOU ARE ABOUT TO SUFFER. See, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, in order to try you and you shall have pressure ten days. Be trustworthy until death and I shall give you the crown of life. He who has an ear, let him HEAR what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes shall by no means be harmed by the SECOND DEATH. And to the messenger of the assembly in Pergamos write, ‘He who has the sharp two-edged sword, says this: I know your works and where you dwell, where the throne of Satan is. And you hold fast to My Name and did not deny the belief in Me, even in the day in which Antipas was My trustworthy witness, who was killed near you, where Satan dwells. But I hold a few matters against you, because you have there those who adhere to the teaching of Bil’am, who taught Balaq to put a stumbling-block before the children of Yisra’el, to eat food offered to idols and to commit whoring.. So you also have those who adhere to the teaching of the Nikolaites, which teaching I hate. Repent, or else I shall come to you speedily and FIGHT AGAINST THEM WITH THE SWORD OF My MOUTH. He who has an ear, let him HEAR what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I shall give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I shall give him a white stone and on the stone a renewed Name written which no one knows except him who receives it.”‘And to the messenger of the assembly in Thyatira write, ‘This says the Son of Elohim, who has eyes like a FLAME OF FIRE and His FEET LIKE BURNISHED BRASS: I know your works and love and service and belief and your endurance. And as for your works, the last are more than the first. But I hold against you that you allow that woman Izebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and lead My servants astray to commit whoring and to eat food offered to idols. And I gave her time to repent of her whoring and she did not repent. See, I am throwing her into a sickbed and those who commit adultery with her into GREAT AFFLICTION, UNLESS they repent of their works. And I SHALL SLAY HER CHILDREN WITH DEATH. And ALL the assemblies shall know that I am the One searching the kidneys and hearts. And I shall give to each one of you ACCORDING TO YOUR WORKS. And to you I say and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not possess this teaching and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they call them, I am not putting on you another burden. But hold fast what you have until I come. And he who overcomes and guards My works UNTIL THE END, to him I shall give authority over the nations, and he shall shepherd them with a rod of iron, as the potter’s vessels shall be broken to pieces, as I also have received from My Father. And I shall give him the morning star. He who has an ear, let him HEAR what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
Revelation 3:1 “And to the messenger of the assembly in Sardis write, ‘He who has the seven Spirits of Elohim and the seven stars, says this, “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but YOU ARE DEAD. Wake up and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I HAVE NOT FOUND YOUR WORKS COMPLETE BEFORE Elohim. Remember, then, how you have received and HEARD. And watch and repent. If, then, you do not WAKE UP, I shall come upon you as a thief and YOU SHALL NOT KNOW AT ALL what hour I come upon you. Nevertheless, you have a FEW names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments. And they shall walk with Me in white, because THEY ARE WORTHY. He who overcomes shall be dressed in white robes and I shall by no means blot out his name from the Book of life, but I shall confess his name before My Father and before His messengers. He who has an ear, let him HEAR what the Spirit says to the assemblies, And to the messenger of the assembly in Philadelphia write, ‘He who is set-apart, He who is true, He who has the key of Dawid, He who opens and no one shuts and shuts and no one opens, says this: I know your works — see, I have set before you an open door, and no one is able to shut it — that you have little power, yet have guarded My word and have not denied My Name. See, I am giving up those of the congregation of Satan, who say they are Yahudim, and are not, but lie. See, I am making them come and worship before your feet and to KNOW THAT I HAVE LOVED YOU. Because you have guarded My Word of endurance, I also shall guard you from the hour of TRIAL WHICH SHALL COME UPON THE WORLD, TO TRY THOSE WHO DWELL ON THE EARTH. See, I am coming speedily! Hold what you have that no one take your crown. he who overcomes, I shall make him a supporting post in the Dwelling Place of My Elohim and he shall by no means go out. And I shall write on him the Name of My Elohim and the Name of the city of My Elohim, the renewed Yerushalayim, which comes down out of the heavens from My Elohim and My renewed Name. He who has an ear, let him HEAR what the Spirit says to the assemblies. And to the messenger of the assembly in Laodikeia write, ‘The Amen, the Trustworthy and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of Elohim, says this: I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that were cold or hot. So, BECAUSE YOU ARE LUKEWARM and neither cold nor hot, I AM GOING TO VOMIT YOU OUT OF My Mouth. Because YOU SAY, ‘Rich I am and I am made rich and need none at all,’ and do not know that you are wretched and pitiable and poor and blind and naked. I advise you to buy from Me gold REFINED IN THE FIRE, so that you become rich; and white garments, so that you become dressed, so that the shame of your nakedness might not be shown; and anoint your eyes with ointment, so that you see. AS MANY AS I LOVE, I REPROVE AND DISCIPLINE. So be ardent and repent. See, I stand at the door and knock. IF ANYONE HEARS My voice and opens the door, I shall come in to him and dine with him and he with Me. to him who overcomes I shall give to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear let him HEAR what the Spirit says to the assemblies.’”‘
As one can plainly see from above, ONLY those who seek what YHWH wants and obeys the commandments of Yahusha by doing His desires, will any of us endure to the end.
Next we will see what is soon to transpire on earth starting in Revelation 6:
1. And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, like a sound of thunder, “Come and see.” And I looked and saw a white horse and he who sat on it holding a bow. And a crown was given to him and he went out overcoming and to overcome. And when He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.” And another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was given to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth and that they should slay one another. And a great sword was given to him. And when He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” And I looked and saw a black horse and he who sat on it holding a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a day’s wage and three quarts of barley for a day’s wage. And do not harm the oil and the wine.” And when He opened the fourth…And I looked and saw a pale horse. And he who sat on it had the Name Death and the grave followed with him. And authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with hunger and with death and by the beasts of the earth. And when He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the alter the beings of those having been SLAIN FOR THE Word of Elohim and for the witness which they held, and they cried with a lud voice, saying, “How long, O Master, set-apart and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” and there was given to each one 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. And I looked when He opened the sixth seal and saw a great earthquake came to be. And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair and the moon became as blood. And the stars of the heavens fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs, being shaken by a strong wind. And heaven departed like a scroll being rolled up and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the sovereigns of the earth and the great ones and the rich ones and the commanders and the mighty and every slave and every free one,m HID THEMSELVES IN THE CAVES AND IN THE ROCKS OF THE MOUNTAINS, and SAID TO THE MOUNTAINS AND ROCKS, ” FALL ON US AND HIDE US FROM THE FACE OF Him sitting on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, because THE GREAT DAY OF His WRATH HAS COME, AND WHO IS ABLE TO STAND?”
As we can observe from above, Yahusha’s wrath is so terrifying, the people of earth call to rocks that cannot hear to fall upon them to hide them from the Lamb’s wrath. Now let’s take even more time with Revelation starting in 19:
1. And after this I heard a loud voice of a great crowd in the heaven, saying, “Halleluyah! Deliverance and esteem and respect and power to YHWH our Elohim! Because true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great whore who corrupted the earth with her whoring. And He has avenged on her the BLOOD OF His SERVANTS SHED BY HER.” And a second time they said, “Halleluyah! And HER SMOKE RISES UP FOREVER AND EVER!: And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped Elohim who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! Halleluyah!: And a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our Elohim, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!” And I heard as the voice of a great crowd, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunders, saying, “Halleluyah, for YHWH El Shaddai reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him praise, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His wife prepared herself.” And to her it was given to be dressed in fine linen, clean and bright, FOR THE FINE LINEN IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESSES OF THE SET-APART ONES….And I saw the heavens opened and there was a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Trustworthy and True and in righteousness He judges and fights. And His eyes were as A FLAME OF FIRE and on His head were many crowns, having a Name that had been written, which no one had perceived except Himself — and having been dressed in a robe dipped in blood — and His Name is called: The Word of YHWH. And the armies in the heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. And AND OUT OF His MOUTH GOES A SHARP SWORD, that WITH IT He SHOULD SMITE THE NATIONS. And He shall shepherd them with a rod of iron. And He treads the winepress of the fierceness and WRATH of El Shaddai. And On His robe and on His thigh He has a Name written: SOVEREIGN OF SOVEREIGNS AND MASTER OF MASTERS. And I saw one messenger standing in the sunand he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, “come and gather together for the supper of the great Elohim, to eat the flesh of sovereigns and the flesh of commanders and the flesh of strong ones and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them AND THE FLESH OF ALL PEOPLE, free and slave, both small and great.” I saw the beast and the sovereigns of the earth and their armies, gathered together to fight Him who sat on the horse and His army. And the beast was seized and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he led astray those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image. The two were THROWN ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE BURNING WITH SULPHUR. And the rest were KILLED with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
Now let’s turn to Yeshuyahu (Isaiah) 10:
16. Therefore the Master, YHWH of hosts, sends leanness among his fat ones. And under his esteem he kindles a burning like the burning of a fire. טז. And the Light of Yisra’el shall be for a fire and his Set-apart One for a flame. And it shall burn and devour his weeds and his thornbushes in one day. יז. and consume the esteem of his forest and of his fertile field, both life and flesh. And they shall be as when a sick man wastes away, יח. and the remaining trees of his forest shall be so few in number that a child records them. יט. And in that day it shall be that the remnant of Yisra’el and those who have escaped of the house of Ya’aqob, never again lean upon him who defeated them, but shall lean upon YHWH, the Set-apart One of Yisra’el, in truth. His Set-apart one of Yisra’el is Yahusha, which is the Word of YHWH become flesh, the Light of the world. Notice that fields and life and flesh will be consumed by the burning and devouring of the fire. Now let’s continue in Yeshayahu with 11:
2.The Spirit of YHWH shall rest upon Him–the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of YHWH, ב. and shall make Him breath in the fear of YHWH. And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears. ג. But with righteousness He shall judge the poor and shall decide with straightness for the meek ones of the earth and shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth and slay the wrong with the breath of His lips. Notice He shall “slay the wrong with the breath of His lips.” Now notice that he shall SMITE THE EARTH WITH THE ROD OF HIS MOUTH.” This vindicates what Revelation and other scripture talk about concerning FIRE from Yahusha. But let’s talk about the set-apart ones of Yahusha in Yeshayahu 12:
1. And in that day you shall say, “I thank You YHWH, though You were enraged with me, Your displeasure has turned back and You have comforted me. א. “See, El is my deliverance, I trust and am not afraid. For Yah, YHWH, is my strength and my song and He has become my deliverance.” ב. And you shall draw water with joy from the fountains of deliverance. ג. And in that day you shall say, “Praise YHWH, call upon His Name; make known His deeds among the peoples, make mention that His Name is exalted. ד. “Sing to YHWH, For He has done excellently; this is known in all the earth. Looking at the above scripture, we can see that people will be tested and experience YHWH’s displeasure and after the experience of Him being enraged at us, we praise Yah, telling His deeds and exalting YHWH’s Name. Let’s continue with Yeshayahu 13 to read about more fire coming to earth and the future of the world very soon:
1. The message concerning Babel which Yeshayahu son of Amots saw.
א.
“Lift up a banner on the high mountain, raise your voice to them; wave your hand, let them enter the gates of the nobles.
ב.
“I have commanded My set-apart ones; I have also called My mighty men for My displeasure, My proudly exulting ones.”
ג.
The noise of an uproar in the mountains, like that of many people! A noise of uproar of the reigns of gentiles gathered together! YHWH of hosts is gathering an army for battle.
ד.
They are coming from a distant land, from the end of the heavens, even YHWH and His weapons of displeasure, to destroy all the earth.
ה.
Howl, for the day of YHWH is near! It comes as a destruction from the Almighty.
ו.
Therefore, all hands shall go limp, every man’s heart melts.
ז.
And they shall be afraid. Pangs and sorrows take hold of them, they are in pain as a woman in labour; they are amazed at one another, their faces aflame!
ח.
See, the day of YHWH is coming, fierce, with wrath and heat of displeasure, to lay the earth waste and destroy its sinners from it.
ט.
For the stars of the heavens and their constellations do not give off their light. The sun shall be dark at its rising and the moon not send out its light.
י.
“And I shall punish the world for its evil and the wrong for their crookedness and shall put an end to the arrogance of the proud and lay low the pride of the ruthless.
יא.
“I shall make mortal man scarcer than fine gold and mankind scarcer than the gold of Ophir.
יב.
“So I shall make the heavens tremble and the earth shall shake from her place, in the wrath of YHWH of hosts and in the day of the heat of His displeasure.
יג.
“And it shall be as the hunted gazelle and as a sheep that no man takes up–every man turns to his own people and everyone flees to his own people and everyone flees to his own land.
יד.
”Whoever is found is thrust through, and everyone taken falls by the sword.
טו.
“And their children are dashed to pieces before their eyes, their houses plundered and their wives ravished.
טז.
“See, I am stirring up the Medes against them, who do not regard silver and as for gold, they do not delight in it.
יז.
“And bows dash the young to pieces and they have no compassion on the fruit of the womb, their eye spare no children.
Notice again the same themes with Revelation about destruction and war. There is a “gathering” of “an army for battle, with YHWH and His weapons of displeasure, TO DESTROY THE EARTH! The day of YHWH IS to DESTROY ALL THE EARTH! This is why every mans’ heart melts and all hands go limp and they realize they are DOOMED. Notice also it says “in the day of the HEAT of His displeasure” to “LAY WASTE THE EARTH and DESTROY ITS sinners FROM IT. Now let’s go to Yeshayahu 25:
1. See YHWH is making the earth empty and making it waste and shall overturn its surface and shall scatter abroad its inhabitants. א. And it shall be–as with the people so with the priest, as with the servant so with the master. as with female servant so with her mistress, as with the buyer so with the seller, as with the lender so with the borrower, as with the creditor so with the debtor; ב. the earth is completely emptied and utterly plundered, for YHWH has spoken this word. ג. The earth shall mourn and wither, the world shall languish and wither, the haughty people of the earth shall languish. ד. For the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Torot, changed the law, broken the everlasting covenant. ה. Therefore a curse shall consume the earth and those who dwell in it be punished. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth shall be burned and few men shall be left. ו. The new wine shall fail, the vine shall languish, all those glad at heart shall sigh. ז. The joy of the tambourine shall cease, the noise of those who rejoice shall end, the joy of the lyre shall cease. ח. No more do they drink wine with a song, strong drink is bitter to those who drink it. ט. The deserted city shall be broken down, every house shall be shut, no one enters. י. There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy shall be darkened, the gladness of the earth shall be gone. יא. The city is left to ruins and the gate is stricken with destruction. יב. For thus it is to be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, like the shaking of an olive tree, like the gleaning grapes when the grape harvest is done. יג. They lift up their voice, they sing of the excellency of YHWH, they shall cry aloud from the sea. יד. Therefore praise YHWH in the east, the Name of YHWH Elohim of Yisra’el in the coastlands of the sea. טו. From the ends of the earth we shall hear songs, “Splendour to the righteous One!” But I say, “I waste away, I waste away! Woe to me! The treacherous betray, with treachery the treacherous betray.” טז. Fear and the pit and the snare are upon you, O inhabitant or the earth. יז. And it shall be that he who flees from the noise of the fear falls into the pit and he who comes up from the midst of the pit is caught in the snare. For the windows from on high shall be opened and the foundations of the earth be shaken. יח. The earth shall be utterly broken, the earth shall be completely shattered, the earth shall be fiercely shaken. יט. The earth shall stagger like a drunkard. And it shall totter like a hut and its transgression shall be heavy upon it and it shall fall and not rise again. כ. And in that day shall be that YHWH punishes on high the host of exalted ones and on the earth the sovereigns of the earth. כא. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit and shall be shut up in the prison and be punished after many days. כב. And the moon shall blush and the sun shall be ashamed, for YHWH of hosts shall reign on Mount Tsiyon and in Yerushalayim, and before His elders, in esteem!
25) 1. O YHWH You are my Elohim. I exalt You, I praise Your Name, for You shall do a wonder–counsels of long ago, trustworthiness, truth. א. For You shall make a city a heap, a walled city a ruin, a palace of foreigners to be a city no more–never to be rebuilt. ב. Therefore a strong people praise You, the city of the ruthless nations fear You. ג. For You shall be a refuge to the poor, a refuge to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm, a shade from the heat. For the spirit of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall. ד. You subdue the noise of foreigners, as heat in a dry place; as heat in the shadow of a cloud, the singing of the ruthless is subdued. ה. And in this mountain YHWH of hosts shall make for all people a feast of choice pieces, a feast of old wines, of choice pieces with marrow, of old wines, well refined. ו. And He shall swallow up on this mountain the surface of the covering which covers all people and the veil which is spread over all nations. ז. He shall swallow up death forever and the Master YHWH shall wipe away tears from all faces and take away the reproach of His people from all the earth. For YHWH has spoken. ח. And it shall be said in that day, “See, this is our Elohim. We have waited for Him and He saves us. This is YHWH, we have waited for Him, let us be glad and rejoice in His deliverance.” Notice the language of YHWH “making the earth empty and making it waste,” overturning “its SURFACE” and therefore ”a curse” will consume “the earth AND THOSE who dwell in it” so that “THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BURNED AND FEW MEN SHALL BE LEFT.” The “EARTH SHALL BE UTTERLY BROKEN and “COMPLETELY SHATTERED and “FIERCELY SHAKEN.” Now let’s again go to Yeshayahu chapter 27:
4. “Wrath is not in Me. Who would set thornbushes and weeds against Me in battle? I would go through them, I WOULD BURN THEM TOGETHER.”
Now I want you to play close attention to those that draw near to YHWH with their lips, and how YHWH has closed the understanding of the minds of the prophets and seers at the end of this age in Yeshuyahu 29:
5. “But the crowd of those strange to you shall be like fine dust and the crowd of the ruthless ones as chaff blowing away. And it shall be in an instant, suddenly!” ה. You shall be visited by YHWH of hosts with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and storm and flame of devouring fire. ו. Then the crowd of all the gentiles who fight against Ari’el, even all who fight against her and her stronghold and distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision. ז. And it shall be as when a hungry man dreams and see, he eats; but he awakes and his being is empty; or as when a thirsty man dreams and see, he drinks; but he awakes and see, he is faint and his being is longing. Thus shall the crowd of all the gentiles be who fight against Mount Tsiyon. ח. Pause and wonder! blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunk, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. ט. For YHWH has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep and has closed your eyes, the prophets. And He covered your heads, the seers. י. And the entire vision is to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men give to one who knows books, saying, “Read this, please.” And he said, “I am unable, for it is sealed.“ יא. And the book is given to one does not know books, saying, “Read this, please.” And he said, “I have not known books.” יב. And YHWH says, “Because this people has drawn near with its mouth and with its lips they have esteemed Me and it has kept its heart far from Me and their fear of Me has become a command of men that is taught! יג. “Therefore, see, I am again doing a marvellous work among this people, a marvellous work and a wonder. And the wisdom of their wise men shall perish and the understanding of their clever men shall be hidden.” יד. Woe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from YHWH and their works are in the dark: they say, “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?” טו. How perverse of you! Should the potter be reckoned as the clay? Should what is made say of its Maker, “He did not make me?” And what is formed say of Him who formed it, “He did not understand?” טז. Is it not yet a little while and Lebanon shall be turned into garden land and garden land be reckoned as a forest? יז. And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book and the eyes of the blind shall see out of gloom and out of darkness. יח. And the meek ones shall increase their joy in YHWH and the poor among men rejoice in the Set-apart One of Yisra’el. יט. For the ruthless one is brought to naught, the scorner is consumed and all who watch for evil shall be cut off, כ. those who make a man to sin in word and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate and turn aside the righteous with empty reasoning. Next we turn again to the theme of FIRE in Yeshayahu 30:
27. See, the Name of YHWH is coming from afar, burning with His wrath and heavy smoke. His lips shall be filled with rage and His tongue be as a devouring fire; כז. and His breath shall be as an overflowing stream, which reaches up to the neck, to sift the nations with a sieve of falsehood and a misleading bridle on the jaws of the peoples. כח. Let the song be to you as in a night set-apart for a festival and gladness of heart as he who is going with a flute, to come into the mountain of YHWH, to the Rock of Yisra’el. כט. And YHWH shall cause His excellent voice to be heard and show the coming down of His arm, with raging wrath and the flame of a consuming fire, with scattering, downpour and hailstones. ל. For through the voice of YHWH Ashshur is broken down, with a rod He smites. לא. And every passage of the ordained staff which YHWH lays on him, shall be with tambourines and lyres, when He shall fight with it, battling with a brandishing arm. לב. For Topheth was ordained of old, even for the sovereign it has been prepared. He has made it deep and large, its fire pit with much wood; the breath of YHWH, as a stream of burning sulphur, is burning in it! Next we turn to Yeshayahu chapter 33 to see more burning with “everlasting burnings,” with even the brave people crying and others weeping bitterly, with the highways becoming deserted:
See, the brave ones shall cry outside, the messengers of peace weep bitterly. ז. The highways shall be deserted, the wayfaring man shall have ceased. He has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, he respected no man. ח. The earth shall mourn and languish. Lebanon shall be ashamed. Sharon shall be withered like a desert and Bashan and Karmel be shaking. ט. “Now I rise up,” declares YHWH. “Now I am exalted, now I am lifted up. י. “You conceive chaff, you bring forth stubble, your spirit devours you like fire. יא. “And peoples shall be like the burnings of lime, like thorns cut up they are burned in the fire. יב. “You who are afar off, hear what I shall do; and you who are near, know My might.” יג. Sinners in Tsiyon shall be afraid; trembling shall grip the defiled ones, “Who of us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who of us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?” Next we turn to Yeshayahu 28 to find out what has been decreed upon ALL the earth:
22. And now, do not be scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong. For I have heard from the Master YHWH of hosts, a destruction decreed upon all the earth.
Now I want to turn to the issue of the Gentiles who obey not Yahusha, where smoke goes up “forever and ever” in Yeshayahu 34:
1. Come near you gentiles, to hear. And listen, you people! Let the earth hear and all that is in it, the world and all its offspring. א. For the displeasure of YHWH is against all the gentiles, and His wrath against all their divisions. He shall put them under the ban, He shall give them over to the slaughter, ב. and their slain be thrown out and their stench rise from their corpses. And mountains shall be melted with their blood. ג. And all the host of the heavens shall rot away. And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll and all their host fade like a leaf fading on the vine and like the fading one of a fig tree. ד. “For My sword shall be drenched in the heavens. Look, it comes down on Edom and on the people of My curse, for judgment. ה. “The sword of YHWH shall be filled with blood, it shall be made overflowing with fatness and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For YHWH has a slaughtering in Botsrah and a great slaughter in the land of Edom. ו. “And wild oxen shall come down with them and young bulls with bulls. And their land shall be drenched with blood and their dust made fat with fatness.” ז. For it is the day of the vengeance of YHWH, the year of recompense for the cause of Tsiyon. ח. And its streams shall be turned into tar and its dust into sulphur and its land shall become burning tar, ט. that is not quenched night or day, its smoke going up forever. From generation to generation it lies waste, no one passes through it forever and ever, Next we read Yeshayahu chapter 60:
12. “For the nation and the reign that do not serve you shall perish and those gentiles shall be utterly laid waste.
Next we turn to Yeshayahu 64 for more themes of fire from YHWH, and also something hidden “since the beginning of the ages”:
1. Oh that You would tear the heavens open, come down, that mountains shall shake before Your ?–
as when fire burns twigs, as firemakes water boil–to make Your Name known to Your adversaries, so that nations tremble before You.
When You did awesome matters, which we did not expect, You came down, mountains did shake before You!
Since the beginning of the ages they have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any Elohim besides You, who acts for those who wait for Him.
And there is more fire, this time fire which shall “not be quenched” in Yeshayahu 66:
14. “And you shall see and your heart shall rejoice and your bones flourish as tender grass. And the hand of YHWH shall be known to His servants and His displeasure to His enemies.
“For look, YHWH comes with fire and with His chariots, like a whirlwind, to render His displeasure with burning and His rebuke with flames of fire.
“For by fire and by His sword YHWH shall judge all flesh and the slain of YHWH shall be many–
“those who set themselves apart and cleanse themselves at the gardens after ‘One’ in the midst, eating flesh of pigs and the abomination and the mouse, are snatched away, together,” declares YHWH.
“And I, because of their works and their imaginations, am coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My esteem.
“And I shall set a sign among them and shall send some of those who escape to the nations–Tarshish and Pul and Lud, who drew the bow and Tubal and Yawan, the coastlands afar off who have not heard My report nor seen My esteem. And they shall declare My esteem among the gentiles.
“And they shall bring all your brothers as an offering to YHWH out of all the gentiles, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to My set-apart mountain Yerushalayim,” declares YHWH, “as the children of Yisra’el bring an offering in a clean vessel into the House of YHWH.
“And from them too I shall take for priests–for Lewites,” declares YHWH.
“For as the new heavens and the new earth that I make stand before Me,” declares YHWH, “so your seed and your name shall stand.
“And it shall be that from New Moon to New Moon and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” declares YHWH.
“And they shall go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me. For their worm shall not die and their fire not be quenched. And they shall be repulsive to all flesh!”
Here are more scripture references to YHWH and judgment and FIRE:
2 Kepha 2:1 But there also came to be false prophets among the people, as also among you there SHALL be false teachers, who shall secretly bring in destructive heresies and deny the Master who bought them, BRINGING SWIFT DESTRUCTION ON THEMSELVES. AND MANY SHALL FOLLOW THEIR DESTRUCTIVE WAYS, because of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of, and IN GREED, with FABRICATED WORDS, THEY SHALL USE YOU FOR GAIN. From of old THEIR JUDGMENT DOES NOT LINGER and their DESTRUCTION does not slumber. For if Elohim did not spare the messengers who sinned, but sent them to Tartaros and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be kept for JUDGMENT, and did not spare the world of old, but preserved Noah, a proclaimer of righteousness and seven others, bringing in the flood on the world of the wicked, and having REDUCED TO ASHES the cities of Sedom and Amorah condemned them to DESTRUCTION — having MADE THEM AN EXAMPLE TO THOSE AFTERWARD would live wickedly, and rescued righteous Lot, who was oppressed with the indecent behaviour of the lawless f…then YHWH knows how to rescue the reverent ones from trial and to keep the unrighteous unto the DAY OF JUDGMENT, to be PUNISHED, and most of all those walking after the flesh in filthy lust and despising authority — bold, headstrong, speaking evil of esteemed ones, whereas messengers who are greater in strength and power do not bring a slanderous accusation against them before the Master. But these, like natural unreasoning beasts, having been born to be caught and DESTROYED, blaspheme that which they do not know, shall be DESTROYED in their DESTRUCTION…
Revelation 8:3 And another messenger came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer and much incense was given to him, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the set-apart ones upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the PRAYERS OF THE SET-APART ONES, went up before Elohim from the hand of the messenger. And the messenger took the sensor and FILLED IT WITH FIRE from the altar and THREW IT TO EARTH…And the first messenger sounded and there came to be hail and FIRE MIXED WITH BLOOD and THEY WERE THROWN TO THE EARTH. And a third of the trees were BURNED UP and AND ALL GREEN GRASS WAS BURNT UP. And the second messenger sounded and what looked like a great mountain BURNING WITH FIRE was thrown into the sea and a third of the sea became blood, and a third of the living creatures in the sea died and a third of the ships were destroyed. And the third messenger sounded and a great star fell from the heaven, BURNING LIKE A TORCH and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the fountains of water…
Ibrim (Hebrews) 12:25 TAke heed NOT TO REFUSE the One speaking. For if those did not escape who refused the warning on earth, MUCH LESS WE who turn away from Him from heaven, whose voice shook the earth then, but now He has PROMISED, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, BUT ALSO THE HEAVENS.” And this, “Yet once more,” makes clear the REMOVAL OF WHAT IS SHAKEN — as having been made — so that the unshaken matter might remain. Therefore, receiving an unshakeable reign, let us hold the favour, through which we serve Elohim pleasingly with reverence and awe, for indeed, our Elohim IS A CONSUMING FIRE.
Wayyiqra (Leviticus) 9:23 …And the ESTEEM of YHWH appeared to all the people, and FIRE CAME OUT FROM BEFORE YHWH AND CONSUMED the burnt offering and the fat on the altar…And Nadab and Abihu…each took his fire holder and put fire in it and put incense on it and brought strange fire before YHWH, which He had NOT commanded them. And FIRE CAME OUT FROM YHWH AND CONSUMED THEM and they died before YHWH.
Debarim (Deuteronomy) 4:24 For YHWH your Elohim is a CONSUMING FIRE, a jealous El.
2 Thessalonians 1:5 …clear evidence of the righteous judgment of Elohim. In order for you to be counted worthy of the reign of Elohim, for which you also suffer, since Elohim shall rightly REPAY WITH AFFLICTION those who afflict you, and to give you who are afflicted rest with us when the Master OWYFZ is revealed from heaven with His mighty messengers, IN FLAMING FIRE TAKING VENGEANCE on those who do not obey the Besorah of our Master OWYFZ Messiah, who shall be PUNISHED WITH EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION from the PRESENCE OF THE Master and from the ESTEEM OF His STRENGTH, when He comes to BE ESTEEMED in His set-apart ones and to be admired among all those who believe in that Day…
