Shalom,

Our studies in The Book of Ezekiel will continue from Ezekiel 14.9-11.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, IF THE (FALSE) PROPHET IS DECEIVED AND HAS SPOKEN A WORD, I THE LORD HAVE DECEIVED THAT PROPHET.

So with that said, Let’s read Ezekiel 14.9-11.

Earlier in this Chapter, in Verse 6, GOD said to Ezekiel, Therefore say to The House of Israel, Thus saith The LORD GOD, Repent, and turn from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations.

YOUR ABOMINATIONS in Hebrew is, TOE’AH’VO’TAY’KHEM.  Abominations in the sight of GOD are disobeying GOD by disobeying The Spoken Word of GOD in The Bible that includes GOD’S Law, The Law of Moses, and making the abomination worse is worshiping idols.

And Israel found themselves on the wrong side of The LORD Their GOD because of their abominations of idolatry, and disobeying The Everlasting Covenant of GOD, GOD’S Spoken Word Written in The Bible.  And The Jewish People were paying the price for their abominations against The LORD Their GOD when many evils, and troubles, and even death fell upon them.

And GOD said to Ezekiel, If the prophet is deceived when he has spoken a word, I The LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out My Hand upon him, and will destroy him from among My People, and the people who follow that false prophet.

WHY WOULD GOD DECEIVE THE PROPHET, AND THOSE PEOPLE WHO DO WHAT THE PROPHET SAYS?

Because that prophet is a false prophet.  And those people who listen to the false prophet, and do what the false prophet says, continuously disobey GOD.  They disobey The Spoken Word of GOD in The Bible from Genesis through Revelation that includes GOD’S Law, The Law of Moses.

False prophets teach lies against GOD.  They teach against The Law of Moses.  They teach against The Spoken Word of GOD in The Bible from Genesis through Revelation.  And they teach against GOD that Jesus, Yeshua The Messiah is not The Father, nor is He The Messiah.  And certain teach that Jesus must be rejected.

People who do what the false prophets say and teach, disobey GOD.  They disobey The Law of Moses, they disobey The Spoken Word of GOD written in The Bible from Genesis through Revelation.  And others reject Messiah Yeshua, Jesus.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THE TRUTH?  HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THE PROPHET, OR THE BIBLE TEACHER IS NOT A FALSE PROPHET?

THIS IS HOW YOU CAN TELL THE TRUTH FROM A LIE.

IS WHAT IS BEING SAID OR TAUGHT IN AGREEMENT WITH THE WORDS THAT GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE FROM GENESIS THROUGH REVELATION?

OR, IS WHAT IS BEING SAID OR TAUGHT IN AGREEMENT WITH GOD’S LAW, THE LAW OF MOSES?

OR, IS WHAT IS BEING SAID OR TAUGHT IN AGREEMENT WITH DEUTERONOMY 6.4, THAT READS, HEAR O ISRAEL, THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE.

HEAR IN HEBREW IS SHEMA, MEANING, HEAR AND OBEY.  HEAR AND OBEY EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE.  AND THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD.

ONE GOD IS NOT A TRINITY OF ONE GOD BEING THREE DIFFERENT GODS.  ONE GOD IS ONE GOD.  GOD IS THE FATHER, THE SON, THE MESSIAH YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST, THE SPIRIT, THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE GOD OF THE JEWISH FATHERS, HA SHEM ELOHIM, AND SO MUCH MORE.

IF WHAT YOU ARE HEARING DOES NOT AGREE WITH DEUTERONOMY 6.4, HEAR O ISRAEL, THAT IS OBEY EVERY SPOKEN WORD OF GOD, THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE, YOU ARE LISTENING TO A FALSE PROPHET, OR A FALSE TEACHER WHO IS DECEIVED BY GOD.

DEUTERONOMY 29.4, ISAIAH 6.8-10, MATTHEW 13.10-16

WHY IS THE FALSE PROPHET, AND THE FALSE TEACHER DECEIVED BY GOD?  BECAUSE THEY DO NOT OBEY GOD.  AND THAT IS SIN.

1 JOHN 3.4

In the days of Ezekiel, many Jewish People in Israel and Babylon were worshiping idols, and disobeying The Law of Moses, called The Law of GOD.  NEHEMIAH 8.8

The same is happening today throughout the world.  As in the days of Noah, most people disobey GOD today.  They disobey GOD’S Law, The Law of Moses, and they disobey The Spoken Word of The GOD of Creation written from Genesis through Revelation.

And GOD said to Ezekiel, The false prophets shall bear the punishment of their iniquity.  Iniquity is sin, disobeying GOD, disobeying The Law of Moses.  1 JOHN 3.4

The punishment of the prophet, GOD says, shall be as the punishment of those people who follow that false prophet.

So we have punishments sent from GOD such as wars, the civil war, the first and second world wars, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, add to that, terrorism, hatred, the plague of coronavirus, fires, earth quakes, hurricanes, and so on.

All because false prophets, and most people disobey GOD.  They disobey what GOD says in The Bible.  And many Jewish People are taught to reject Jesus, The Jewish Messiah Yeshua Who is THE GOD OF OUR JEWISH FATHERS.

Around 870 B.C.E./B.C., when Israel was divided into two kingdoms, Israel to the north, and Judah to the south, The King of Judah, Jehoshaphat, and the king of northern Israel, Ahab, joined forces to defeat the Syrian army and take back Ramoth-gilead.

And Jehoshaphat was a Righteous King who walked with GOD in obedience to Torah, The Law of Moses.  But Ahab, King of northern Israel for twenty two years did evil in the sight of The LORD more than anyone before him.  Ahab’s wife was Jezebel.

Ahab worshiped idols, and disobeyed The Spoken Word of GOD.  And Ahab provoked The LORD to anger more than any of the kings before him.  And The Children of Israel turned away from Torah, The Law of Moses.  And they threw down The Altars of The LORD, and killed GOD’S Prophets with the sword.

And Jehoshaphat, the King of Judah came down to the king of Israel, Ahab.  And Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to battle Ramoth-gilead?  And Jehoshaphat said, Yes.

And Jehoshaphat said to Ahab, Ask of The LORD.  And Ahab gathered all his prophets together, four hundred, and asked them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle or not?  And the four hundred prophets said, Go up, for The LORD will deliver Ramath-gilead into the hand of king Ahab.

And Jehoshaphat asked Ahab, Is there here a Prophet of The LORD beside these four hundred that we can inquire?  And Ahab said, Yes, a Prophet by the name of Micaiah.  But I hate him because he never prophesies good concerning me.  (because Ahab lived an abominable life of disobedience to GOD.)

And Jehoshaphat asked Ahab to send for Micaiah, The Prophet of GOD.  And the false prophet whom Ahab sent to bring Micaiah told him to prophesy good as the other prophets.  And Micaiah did just that.  He said to the kings, Go and prosper for The LORD shall deliver the Syrians into the hand of king Ahab.

So Ahab said to Micaiah, How many times have I charged you under oath that you shall tell me nothing but that which is true in The Name of The LORD.  And Micaiah, The Prophet of GOD, said, I saw all Israel, King Ahab’s Israel of the northern Kingdom, scattered upon the hills as sheep that have no shepherd.  And The LORD said, These have no Master.  Let every man return to his house in peace.  And Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell you that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?  But Micaiah prophesied The Truth to Ahab.

And then Micaiah, The Prophet of GOD said, Hear therefore The Word of The Lord.  I saw The LORD sitting on His Throne, and all The Host of Heaven standing by Him on His Right Hand and on His Left.  And The LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab that he shall go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?  And one said in this manner, and another said on that manner.  And there came forth a spirit and stood before The LORD, and said, I will persuade Ahab.  And The LORD said to the spirit, How?  And the spirit said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all Ahab’s prophets.  And The LORD said, You shall persuade Ahab, and prevail also.  And GOD said, Go forth and do so.

So Micaiah, The Prophet of GOD, said to Ahab, Now, therefore, behold, The LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all your prophets, meaning, GOD has deceived your prophets.  And The LORD has Spoken evil concerning you.  But one of Ahab’s false prophets smacked Micaiah in the face, and said to Micaiah, Which way did The Spirit of The LORD go from me to speak to you?

And Ahab said, Take Micaiah back and put him in prison and feed him with the bread of affliction and with the water of affliction until I come in peace.

And Micaiah, The Prophet of GOD, said to Ahab, If you return at all in peace, The LORD has not spoken to me.

So both Kings and their armies went to war against the Syrians at Ramoth-gilead, and one of the Syrian fighters shot his arrow at Ahab and killed him.  Just as The Prophet of GOD told Ahab that he would not return in peace.

GOD sent a lying spirit to Ahab’s prophets to deceive the prophets because Ahab’s prophets never prophesied the truth of GOD.  They prophesied and taught lies about GOD.  And GOD had Ahab killed because he was evil in the sight of GOD, always doing what GOD says not to do by worshiping idols, and disobeying GOD’S Torah, The Law of Moses.

These Words are written in 1 Kings Chapter 22.

Evils, troubles, and even death happen to false prophets who teach lies against GOD, teaching, or setting the example that The Law of Moses is no longer valid, or abolished by Jesus, or optional, or other hate and lies against GOD.

And those who continually disobey The Spoken Word of GOD Written in The Bible from Genesis through Revelation that includes The Law of Moses, and those who reject Messiah Yeshua, unless they repent and do that which is Right and Lawful by obeying every Word GOD speaks in The Bible from Genesis through Revelation that includes The Law of Moses, they also will experience evils and troubles because they continue to disobey GOD.  EZEKIEL 18.21-24

Bad things have been happening to people and nations from the creation of Adam and Eve when they disobeyed GOD, and from the days of Noah when GOD wiped out the entire world population except Noah and his family because of disobedience to The Spoken Word of GOD.

And today, GOD continues to deceive false prophets, and false Bible teachers.  Why?  Because they live their lives in disobedience to GOD.  They deceive people by teaching them, You do not have to obey The Law of Moses.  Or teaching Jewish People that Messiah Yeshua, Jesus Christ, is not The Messiah, nor is He THE GOD OF OUR FATHERS.

DEUTERONOMY 8.3, ISAIAH 40.8, MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4, 1 PETER 1.23-25

But after all the abominations of The House of Israel against GOD, and the punishments that GOD’S Chosen People, The Jewish People, have experienced, evils, and troubles, and death, GOD said to Ezekiel, So that The House of Israel shall not go astray from Me anymore.  Neither shall they defile themselves anymore with all their transgressions.  For they are to Me My People, and I am to Them Their GOD.  EZEKIEL 14.11

Messiah Yeshua, Jesus, is The GOD of The Jewish fathers, The GOD of Abraham, The GOD of Isaac, and The GOD of Jacob.  And Messiah says, This Gospel of The Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations, and then shall the end come.  MATTHEW 24.14

The Gospel of The Kingdom is The Spoken Word of GOD that is Written in The Bible from Genesis through Revelation that includes The Law of Moses, The Prophets, and Every Word Spoken by The GOD of Our Jewish fathers, The Messiah Yeshua, Jesus.

ACTS 22.6-14, 1 PETER 1.25

Today, The Gospel of The Kingdom is not preached in all the world for a witness to all nations.

But be certain that The Gospel of The Kingdom will in time be preached in all the world because Messiah says it will be preached in all the world for a witness to all the nations, and then shall the end come.

And The Gospel of The Kingdom is to Live your Life by Every Word that proceeds out of The Mouth of GOD from Genesis through Revelation that includes GOD’S Law, The Law of Moses.  And there is only One GOD.  And His Name and Title are Yeshua HaMashiakh, Jesus The Messiah.

And when The Gospel of The Kingdom is preached in all the world for a witness to all the nations, then the end shall come.

Therefore in conclusion, avoid false prophets, and false teachers, but rather live your life by Every Word GOD Speaks in The Bible, and GOD will be your GOD, and you will be His People.

Shalom,

Our teaching will continue in The Book of Ezekiel from Ezekiel 14.1-8.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND.

So with that said, let’s read Ezekiel 14.1-8.

In the first fourteen chapters of Ezekiel, GOD is judging many of His Jewish People in Israel and Babylon with death, and many evils, and troubles, because they went after graven idols, and broke His Covenant by breaking His Word that is Law.

DEUTERONOMY 31.16-18, PSALM 105.8-10

Believing in Jesus does not excuse anyone from obeying GOD’S Law.  There is only One GOD and GOD is The GOD of all the world.  And GOD has only one Law, and that Law is The Law of Moses.

When Jesus, Yeshua The Messiah, gave His Life, and shed His Blood on a cross in Jerusalem, He did that for your Atonement, for the forgiveness of your sins.  Then, from The Teaching of GOD ALMIGHTY Whom Jesus is, we are to Repent of our sins of breaking GOD’S Law, The Law of Moses, to doing that which is Lawful and Right by living our lives according to The Law of Moses and Every Word GOD Speaks in The Bible.  And GOD says, You shall surely live, you shall not die.

Walking in the ways of GOD according to Torah, GOD’S Law of Moses, will cause you not to sin against The LORD, and you will see the wonderful things of The Law.  And GOD’S Law will be your Counselor.

GOD’S Law is The Way of Truth.  It will give you understanding by going in The Path of GOD’S Commandments.  Your life will be Alive in Righteousness.  Because The Law of GOD is The Word of Truth that is liberty, and freedom from sin and death.  And you will delight yourself in The Laws and Commandments of GOD.

The Spoken Word of GOD Written in The Bible is your comfort in times of affliction.  Never turn away from GOD’S Law.  The ungodly forsake GOD’S Laws Written in The Law of Moses.  But remember The Name of The LORD, Yeshua The Messiah, Who is GOD ALMIGHTY, and keep His Law.  Do not forget it.  And GOD will deal well with you because GOD is good, and He does good.  Therefore delight in GOD’S Law, and GOD will give you understanding.

The Law of GOD is better than thousands of gold and silver, for GOD’S kindness is your comfort.  And GOD’S Law will become your delight.  Forever, GOD’S Word is settled in Heaven, and you belong to The LORD Your GOD.

GOD’S Word is a lamp unto your feet, and a light unto your path.  Every Word of GOD is an inheritance to you forever, and you will love The Law of GOD.

GOD will be your hiding place, and your shield forever.  And GOD will hold you up, and you will always be safe, for The Spoken Word of GOD is your Righteousness.  And you will love GOD’S Commandments above gold, and GOD’S Face will shine upon you, and teach you His Statutes.  They are Righteous and Very Faithful.  They are Loyal, Reliable, and can be Trusted, and True, because GOD’S Word is pure and His Law is The Truth.

When trouble and anguish take hold on you, GOD’S Commandments will be your delight.  GOD’S Righteousness is Everlasting and His Righteousness will give you Understanding, and Life.  And GOD will hear your voice according to His loving kindness because GOD is near you, and His Commandments are Truth.  They are forever.  Even though you might have persecutors and enemies, do not turn away from The Spoken Word of GOD, because GOD’S Word is true from the beginning, and they are His Righteous Judgments forever.

Stand in awe of GOD’S Word, and Love His Law.  Great peace have they who love GOD’S Law, and nothing will cause you to fall.  And GOD will always deliver you according to His Word.

And GOD’S Hand will always help you because you have chosen to keep GOD’S Law, and His Law will be your delight.  And do not forget His Law.  His Commandments are truth and life.  They are your life.  FROM THE WORDS OF PSALM 119

Back to Ezekiel.  Ezekiel says, Then came certain of the elders of Israel to me, and sat before me.

And The Word of The LORD came to Ezekiel, saying, Son of man, the hearts of these men are set on idols.  And they have put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face.  That is, these men have fallen away from The LORD because they rejected GOD’S Spoken Word, saying, You shall have no other gods before Me.  You shall not make to yourselves any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters under the earth.  You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them, for I The LORD Your GOD am a jealous GOD visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me.

And also because GOD says, Man does not live by bread alone but by Every Word that proceeds out of The Mouth of The LORD does man live.

EXODUS 20.3-5, DEUTERONOMY 8.3

And GOD said to Ezekiel, Shall these men ask anything of Me?  Speak to them and say to them, Thus saith The LORD GOD, Every man of The House of Israel who has his heart set on his idols, and puts a stumbling block of his iniquity before his face and comes to the false prophet, I The LORD will answer him who comes according to the multitude of his idols.

That I will take The House of Israel in their own heart because they have turned away from Me through their idols.  Therefore GOD said to Ezekiel, Say to The House of Israel, Thus saith The LORD GOD, Repent, and turn from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations.  For every one of The House of Israel, or of the stranger who lives in Israel, who separates himself from Me, and their hearts are set on idols, and puts a stumbling block of their iniquity before their face, and comes to a false prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I The LORD will answer him by Myself.

And I will set My Face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb.  And I will cut him off.  That is, GOD will destroy and kill that person from among His People.  And they shall know that I am The LORD.

A sign is a miracle.  Sign comes from The Hebrew Word Ote, meaning Miracle.  And that Miracle will come some time in the future that will happen to them, cutting them off, destroying, and killing them from among GOD’S People.  Unless they repent and turn from their sins.

A proverb is a parable that teaches a truth.  And the truth is, Do not worship idols, and obey GOD, every Word GOD Speaks in The Bible.

GOD says, Repent.  Turn from idols, and turn from all your abominations of sinning against GOD.  Sinning against GOD is disobeying His Spoken Word in The Bible from Genesis through Revelation.  Sinning against GOD is disobeying His Torah, The Law of Moses.  1 JOHN 3.4

Repentance is taught throughout The Bible from beginning to end by turning to GOD and Obeying Every Word that GOD Speaks in The Bible that includes The Law of Moses.

Quite frankly, that is the fundamental teaching of The Bible.  Turn from all your sins of breaking GOD’S Laws written in The Law of Moses, to Obeying GOD’S Laws Written in The Law of Moses.

But GOD requires atonement, the forgiveness of your sins, by the shed blood.  When The Tabernacle and Temples were standing, atonement was made by the death and shed blood of a sacrificed animal.  Without The Temple in Jerusalem, atonement is made by the death and shed blood of The Jewish Messiah Yeshua, Who is Jesus.

Jesus did not give His Life to do away with the Law of Moses.  Jesus gave His Life to be your atonement, and then you are to follow His Footsteps by living a GODLY Life in Obedience to Torah, The Law of Moses, and Every Word GOD Speaks in The Bible.

Peter says exactly that in his first letter to The Gentiles, that we should follow the steps of Jesus who did no sin.  Not doing any sin is living your life according to The Law of Moses.

1 PETER 2.21-22, 1 JOHN 3.4

HOW DO YOU REPENT? 

TURN TO MATTHEW 3.1-2, MATTHEW 4.16-17, MARK 6.11-12, LUKE 13.1-5, REVELATION 2.1-5, 12-16, 18-22, REVELATION 3.1-3, 14-22, EZEKIEL 18.21-24

IN EZEKIEL 18.21-24 GOD EXPLAINS HOW TO REPENT.

EZEKIEL 18.21  BUT IF THE UNGODLY WILL TURN, THAT IS REPENT FROM ALL THEIR SINS OF BREAKING THE LAW OF MOSES, AND KEEP ALL MY STATUTES, ALL GOD’S LAWS WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES, AND EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE.  AND DO THAT WHICH IS LAWFUL AND RIGHT.  GOD SAYS, THEY SHALL SURELY LIVE.  THEY SHALL NOT DIE. 

VERSE 22  ALL THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS THAT THEY HAVE COMMITTED, THEY SHALL NOT BE MENTIONED TO THEM.  IN THEIR RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT THEY HAVE DONE THEY SHALL LIVE.

VERSE 23  HAVE I ANY PLEASURE AT ALL THAT THE WICKED SHOULD DIE? SAITH THE LORD GOD, AND NOT THAT THEY SHOULD RETURN, THAT IS REPENT, FROM THEIR WAYS, AND LIVE?

VERSE 24  BUT WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS TURN AWAY FROM THEIR RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND COMMIT INIQUITY, AND THEY DO ACCORDING TO ALL THE ABOMINATIONS THAT THE WICKED DO, SHALL THEY LIVE?  ALL THEIR RIGHTEOUSNESSES THAT THEY HAVE DONE SHALL NOT BE MENTIONED.  IN THEIR TRESPASS THAT THEY HAVE TRESPASSED, AND IN THEIR SIN THAT THEY HAVE SINNED, IN THEM SHALL THEY DIE.  1 JOHN 1.9

I THINK OF THE GODLY PEOPLE IN THE BIBLE. 

DAVID WRITES, BEHOLD, I WAS SHAPEN IN INIQUITY, AND IN SIN DID MY MOTHER CONCEIVE ME.  PAUL WRITES, FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.

THE ONLY ONE WHO NEVER SINNED IS THE MESSIAH YESHUA.  AND HE IS GOD, JEHOVAH ELOHAYNU, THE LORD OUR GOD.

PSALM 51.5, ROMANS 3.23 

SO I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT ALL THESE GODLY PEOPLE IN THE BIBLE, LIKE US, WERE BORN IN SIN.  AND AT SOME POINT IN THEIR LIVES THEY REPENTED AND TURNED TO GOD AND LIVED A GODLY LIFE ACCORDING TO EVERY WORD GOD SPOKE IN THEIR DAY.

IN OUR DAY WE HAVE THE SPOKEN WORD OF GOD WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE FROM GENESIS THROUGH REVELATION THAT INCLUDES THE LAW OF MOSES.

ENOCH, WHOM GOD TOOK UP TO HEAVEN.  NOAH, WHOM GOD SAVED FROM THE FLOOD, AND ALL HIS FAMILY OF EIGHT.  ABRAHAM, WHO BECAME THE FATHER OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE, AND MANY NATIONS.  ISAAC, FROM WHOM THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE CALLED.  JACOB WHOM GOD NAMED ISRAEL.  MOSES WHO RECEIVED THE LAW FROM GOD AND GAVE IT TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE, AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE GAVE GOD’S LAW TO THE WORLD FROM THE BIBLE THAT JEWISH PEOPLE WROTE.  ADD TO THEM, THE PROPHETS, AND THE RIGHTEOUS KINGS OF ISRAEL, AND OTHERS.

AND THE DISCIPLES, AND THE APOSTLES OF MESSIAH, AND THE GODLY MEN AND WOMEN IN THE NEW TESTAMENT WHO FOLLOWED THE MESSIAH YESHUA, AND LIVED BY EVERY SPOKEN WORD OF GOD WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.

AND THEY SING THE SONG OF MOSES.  REVELATION 15.1-3

THE SONG OF MOSES IS ABOUT GOD, AND EVERY WORD HE SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE THAT INCLUDES THE LAW OF MOSES. 

THE WORDS OF THE SONG ARE GOD’S WORDS.

THE SONG OF MOSES TEACHES THE WORLD AND THE HEAVENS TO LIVE BY EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS.  AND THE SPOKEN WORD OF GOD IS HIS DOCTRINE

DEUTERONOMY 31.14-19, 30, DEUTERONOMY 32.1-4, 44-47  

AND THE SONG TELLS THAT ISRAEL AND THE NATIONS DISOBEY GOD PROVOKING THE LORD TO ANGER.  AND BECAUSE OF THEIR DISOBEIENCE TO THE CREATOR, GOD JUDGES THE WORLD WITH DEATH, AND MANY EVILS, AND TROUBLES.  THINK CORONAVIRUS, WARS, DIVISION, HATE, ETC.

THEREFORE REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND. 

GENESIS 5.24, GENESIS 6.9, GENESIS 17.4, GENESIS 21.12, GENESIS 32.28, DEUTERONOIMY 8.3, MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4, 1 PETER 2.21-22, HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5, MICAH 5.1, CHRISTIAN BIBLE ISAIAH 9.6, MICAH 5.2, JOHN 12.44-45, JOHN 14.9

Shalom,

Our study today will continue in Ezekiel Chapter 13.

And The Title of our message is, What is The Word of The LORD?  And what is a false prophet?

Ezekiel begins Chapter 13 with the words, And The Word of The LORD came to me, saying, Son of man, Prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say to them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear The Word of The LORD.

Prophesying from ones’ own heart is prophesying ones’ own thoughts and not The Word Spoken by GOD.  Prophesying from ones’ own heart is a false prophet.

And GOD continues speaking to Ezekiel, saying, Thus saith The LORD GOD, Woe to the foolish prophets that follow their own spirit and have seen nothing.

O Israel, your prophets are like foxes in the deserts.  Foxes are sly, meaning, cunning, crafty, devious, and deceitful.

You have not gone up into the breaks, or made a wall for The House of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of The LORD.  The day of The LORD is every day.

The false prophets have seen vanity, falsehoods, and lying divination, lying witchcraft, saying The LORD says, but The LORD has not sent them.  And they have made The People to hope that the words of the false prophets would come true.

Have you not seen a lying vision, Ezekiel said, and have you not spoken lying divination?  Therefore you say, The LORD has said it, but The LORD has not said it.

Therefore, Thus saith The LORD GOD, Because you have spoken lies, and seen lies, behold I am against you, saith The LORD GOD.

And My Hand shall be upon the prophets that see lies and that divine lies.  Divine and divination are witchcraft and magic that are practiced by false prophets whom GOD hates.  They shall not be in The Assembly of My People, neither shall they be written in the writing of The House of Israel.  Neither shall they enter The Land of Israel, and you shall know that I am The LORD.

Because, because they have led My People astray, saying, Peace, and there was no peace.

GOD is comparing their lies with one who built a flimsy wall, and the wall fell because of the stormy wind of GOD’S fury, and an overwhelming rain of GOD’S anger, and great hailstones of GOD’S fury to consume it.

MATTHEW 7.24-27  Yeshua The Messiah is Jehovah, The Father, GOD ALMIGHTY.  And Messiah Yeshua says, Therefore whosoever hears and obeys These Words of Mine, I will liken to a wise man who built his house upon a rock.  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, but it did not fall because its foundation was a rock.

THAT FOUNDATION THAT IS A ROCK IS YOUR OBEDIENCE TO EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE FROM GENESIS THROUGH REVELATION THAT INCLUDES GOD’S LAW, THE LAW OF MOSES.  THAT IS THE HOUSE THAT DOES NOT FALL IN THE STORMS OF LIFE.

And Messiah says, Every one that hears These Words of Mine, and does not do them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon sand.  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house.  And it fell, and great was the fall of it.

So, Messiah Yeshua, Who is Jesus Christ, GOD ALMIGHTY, JEHOVAH, says, Every one that hears These Words of Mine Written in The Bible from Genesis through Revelation that includes GOD’S Law, The Law of Moses, and does not do them will be likened to a foolish man who built his house on sand.

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.

Messiah likened the foolish man to one who hears The Words of GOD, perhaps reading The Bible, perhaps from a Bible Teacher, or a friend, or relative, or someone, but refuses to do what GOD says.  So, when the problems of life came, and we all know that problems come like rain, floods, and wind, the foolish man, or foolish woman fell because their life was not built on The Foundation of Obedience to Every Word GOD Speaks in The Bible from Genesis through Revelation that includes The Law of Moses that is the first five books of The Bible.

DEUTERONOMY 8.3, MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4, JOHN 14.9

Back to Ezekiel.

Therefore, GOD said to Ezekiel, Thus saith The LORD, I will cause a stormy wind to break out in My fury, and there will be a pouring rain in My anger, and I will break down the wall, and bring it down to the ground, and you shall be consumed in the midst of it, and you shall know that I am The LORD.

Thus will I accomplish My wrath on the prophets of Israel who prophesy to Jerusalem, who see for Jerusalem visions of peace, and there is no peace, saith The LORD.

Likewise, The LORD said to Ezekiel, You son of man, set your face against the daughters of Your People who prophesy out of their own heart, and prophesy against them.  Will you lay snares for the souls of My People?  And will you save the souls alive that come to you?

And will you pollute Me among My People for handfuls of barley, and for pieces of bread to put to death the souls that should not die, and save the souls alive that should not live by your lying to My People who hear your lies?

Because with lies you have made the heart of The Righteous sad, whom I have not made sad, and strengthened the hands of the wicked that he should not return from his wicked way by promising him life.

Therefore you shall no longer prophesy lies, or practice divination of magic and witchcraft.  I will save My People from your hands, and you shall know that I am The LORD.

The LORD describes a false prophet as people who prophesy out of their own hearts, speaking their own thoughts, not The Words of GOD.

False prophets follow their own spirit and have seen nothing.

False prophets are like sly foxes in the deserts, cunning, crafty, devious, and deceitful.

False prophets see vanity, falsehoods, lying divinations, saying The LORD says, but The LORD has not sent them, and they make people to hope that their words will come true.

False prophets see lying visions, and speak lying divination that is magic and witchcraft, saying, The LORD has said it, but The LORD has not said it.  False prophets speak lies and see lies, and GOD hates that.  They lead people astray, away from GOD.

False prophets pollute The Name of The LORD with lies.  They make The Righteous sad, and they strengthen the wicked not to turn from their wicked ways, promising them life.

False prophets are also spoken of in The New Testament.

False prophet in Greek is PSEUDOPROPHETES that comes from the Greek word PSEUDES meaning, UNTRUE, ERRONEOUS, DECEITFUL, WICKED, FALSE, AND LIAR.

False prophet means a spurious prophet.  Spurious meaning, not genuine, counterfeit, and illegitimate, or a religious imposter.

MATTHEW 7.14-16  BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS, i.e. RELIGIOUS IMPOSTERS, WHO COME TO YOU IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING, BUT INWARDLY THEY ARE RAVENING WOLVES.  YOU SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS. 

JOHN 15.8-10

GOOD FRUITS ARE KEEPING GOD’S COMMANDMENTS, BEING OBEDIENT TO THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD.  THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD ARE COLLECTIVELY THE LAW OF MOSES WRITTEN IN THE FIRST FIVE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE.

Beware of false prophets, and false teachers who do not keep The Commandments of GOD, but rather disobey The Commandments of GOD that are GOD’S Laws written in The Law of Moses, and beware of those who teach against The Law of Moses.

WHEN YOU ARE TOLD THAT THE LAW OF MOSES IS ABOLISHED, OR NO LONGER IN EFFECT FOR WHATEVER REASON, OR OPTIONAL, OR ONLY FOR THE JEWS, OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR SALVATION IF YOU OBEY THE LAW OF MOSES, OR THE LAW OF MOSES IS LEGALISM, OR YOU ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, THAT PERSON IS EITHER A FALSE PROPHET OR A RELIGIOUS IMPOSTER.

IF YOU ARE TOLD MESSIAH YESHUA, WHO IS THE JESUS CHRIST OF THE BIBLE, IS NOT GOD, NOT JEHOVAH, NOT THE FATHER, NOT GOD ALMIGHTY, NOT THE SPIRIT, NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT, NOT THE MESSIAH, THAT PERSON IS A FALSE PROPHET, OR A RELIGIOUS IMPOSTER.

IF YOU ARE TOLD OR READ THAT THE JEWISH BELIEVERS IN THE MESSIAH YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST, WERE CHRISTIANS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, OR THEY WERE THE CHURCH IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, YOU ARE READING, OR SPEAKING TO, OR LISTENING TO A FALSE PROPHET, OR A RELIGIOUS IMPOSTER.  THE JEWISH BELIEVERS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT WERE JEWISH BELONGING TO A JEWISH MESSIANIC CONGREGATION(S), AND NOT CHRISTIANS, NOR THE CHURCH.  THE CHURCH BEGAN IN THE DAYS OF CONSTANTINE IN 324 A.D.

THE WORD OF GOD IS EASY TO KNOW THAT IT IS THE WORD OF GOD.

ONE SCRIPTURE IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND.  EVERY WORD MUST LINE UP AND AGREE WITH THIS ONE SCRIPTURE OR IT IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD.

DEUTERONOMY 6.4  HEAR O ISRAEL, THE LORD OUR GOD THE LORD IS ONE.

HEAR IN HEBREW IS SHEMA MEANING, HEAR, LISTEN, AND OBEY.  MARK 12.28-30

GOD IS TELLING THE WORLD, JEWISH PEOPLE AND PEOPLE NOT JEWISH, TO HEAR, LISTEN TO, AND OBEY EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE FROM GENESIS THROUGH REVELATION.

IF WHAT YOU HEAR OR READ DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE SPOKEN WORD OF GOD IN THE BIBLE FROM GENESIS THROUGH REVELATION THAT INCLUDES THE LAW OF MOSES, YOU ARE NOT HEARING OR READING THE TRUTH OF GOD.

IF WHAT YOU READ OR HEAR DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE LAW OF MOSES, YOU ARE NOT READING OR HEARING THE WORD OF GOD.  YOU ARE NOT HEARING OR READING THE TRUTH.

EVERY WORD MUST LINE UP WITH GOD’S TRUTH IN THE LAW OF MOSES OR IT IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD. 

MARK 12.28-30, MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4, DEUTERONOMY 8.3

Shalom,

Our teachings will continue in The Book of Ezekiel from Chapters 10 and 11.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, I WILL GIVE THEM ONE HEART, AND I WILL PUT A NEW SPIRIT WITHIN THEM, AND I WILL TAKE THE STONY HEART OUT OF THEIR FLESH, AND WILL GIVE THEM A HEART OF FLESH THAT THEY SHALL WALK IN MY STATUTES, AND KEEP MY LAWS, AND DO THEM.  AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD.

The time of Ezekiel’s writings is around 580 B.C.E./B.C.

Earlier in Ezekiel Chapter 9 in the vision that GOD showed The Prophet, The LORD called upon men who had the charge of Judgment over The City of Jerusalem to kill many Jewish People in Judah, southern Israel, because of Jewish abominations of worshiping graven idols, and fully disobeying The LORD Their GOD,  The Holy One of Israel.

In Ezekiel Chapter 10, Ezekiel writes that he looked and saw in the sky, the cherubim that had the four faces.  The face of a cherub, the face of a man, the face of a lion, and the face of an eagle.  And there appeared over them a sapphire stone as the look of the form of a Throne.

And GOD spoke to the man clothed with linen who had the horn of oil at his side and told him to go between the cherubim and the wheels.  Their whole body, that is the cherubim, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes all around.  Even the wheels that were under the four cherubim were full of eyes.  And the wheels had life in them.

And GOD said to the man clothed in linen, Fill your hands with coals of fire, and scatter them over the City, the City of Jerusalem.  And one cherub stretched out his hand that was under his wing to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took the fire and put it into the hand of him who was clothed in white linen.  And he took it, and went out.

And the cherubim stood on the south side of The Temple.  And The Glory of GOD filled The Inner Court of The Temple.  And The Temple was filled with The Cloud that is The Glory of GOD.  And The Court of The Temple was filled with The Brightness of The LORD’S Glory.  And the sound of the cherubim’s wings was heard as The Voice of The ALMIGHTY GOD when He speaks.  And The Glory of The LORD stood over the cherubim.

And The Spirit of GOD lifted Ezekiel up in the vision and brought him to The East Gate of The LORD’S House that is The Temple.  And at the opening of the gate were twenty five men.  Among them by name, Jaazaniah and Pelatiah, both princes of The Jewish People.  Then GOD said to Ezekiel, Son of man, these are the men who devise evil and give wicked counsel in this City, the City of Jerusalem, who say, It is not near.  Let us build houses.  Meaning, these two men believed that the vision Ezekiel saw was for many days to come, and he prophecies of the times that are far off.  And Jaazaniah and Pelatiah, the two men who devised evil, and wicked counsel, said, This city is the boiling pot and we are the flesh.  Ezekiel 12.27

Therefore GOD said to Ezekiel, Prophesy against them.  Prophesy O son of man.  And The Spirit of The LORD fell upon Ezekiel, and GOD said to him, Speak.  Thus saith The LORD.  Thus you have said, O House of Israel, for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.  You have multiplied your dead in this City, and you have filled the streets of this City with the dead.

At this point, let me say this; the 1.9 million dead in the world from coronavirus, and 88 million sick from coronavirus, the troubles, the riots, the wars, fires, earthquakes. etc. are all Judgments and Curses from GOD because most people disobey The Spoken Word of GOD that is Written in The Bible from Genesis through Revelation.

Therefore, The LORD said, Your dead whom you have laid in the midst of this City, Jerusalem, they are the flesh, and this City is the boiling pot.  But I will bring you out of the midst of the City.  You have feared the sword, and I will bring a sword upon you, saith The LORD GOD.  And I will bring you out of the midst of this City and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.  You shall fall by the sword.

These are Judgments and Curses from GOD for disobeying The LORD GOD of Creation.  For disobeying The Spoken Word of GOD Who teaches The Jewish People, and all peoples of the evil of worshiping strange gods.  And the evil for disobeying GOD.  Therefore GOD said to His Jewish People, You shall fall by the sword.  I will judge you in the border of Israel.  That is, GOD will Judge His People from The River of Egypt to The Euphrates River, the borders of Israel.  And you shall know that I am The LORD, GOD said.

Then GOD said, This City, the City of Jerusalem, shall not be your boiling pot, neither shall you be the flesh in the midst of it, but I will judge you throughout Israel.  And you shall know that I am The LORD.

Because you have not walked in My Laws, neither have you executed My Judgments but have gone after the customs of the goyim that are around you.

And Ezekiel writes, When I prophesied, Pelatiah died.  And Ezekiel fell on his face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah LORD GOD, will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?  And The LORD said, Son of man, your brothers, your brothers, the men of your family, and all The House of Israel, are they not those to whom The People of Jerusalem have said, Go far away from The LORD.  This Land is given to us for a possession.

Therefore GOD said to Ezekiel, say, Thus saith The LORD, Although I have cast them far among the goyim, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little Sanctuary of protection and shelter in the countries where they shall come.

When you are told that The Law of Moses is not valid today, or it is only for The Jews, or it is optional, or pray about it, or it’s abolished, you are being told, Go far away from The LORD.

Let’s read Ezekiel 11.17-25

VERSE 17  Therefore say, Thus saith The LORD GOD, I will gather you from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered in them, and I shall give to you The Land of Israel.

Today there are approximately ten million Jewish People living in Israel of some fourteen to sixteen million Jewish People living throughout the world.

But GOD is talking about the future days of the one thousand year Messianic Kingdom in Israel when The LORD, The Messiah Yeshua, Returns and sets up His Kingdom in Israel whose borders GOD will restore from The River of Egypt to The Euphrates River that will be like The Garden Eden.  And Messiah Yeshua will be King over all the earth from Jerusalem.  That is when GOD will gather His Jewish People, and all Peoples who live by Every Word GOD Speaks in The Bible from Genesis through Revelation, and all Gentiles who Bless The Jewish People and Israel.

GENESIS 12.3, MATTHEW 25.31-46, DEUTERON OMY 8.3, ISAIAH 51.3, ZECHARIAH 14.9, MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4

EZEKIEL 11.18  And they shall come there, to Israel.  Remember, Ezekiel was in Babylon, current-day Iraq when GOD was speaking to him.  And they, The Jewish People, shall remove all their idolatry from Israel, and turn to The LORD Their GOD and obey Him.  EZEKIEL 18.21

The Messianic Kingdom in Israel will be perfect, without sin, without death, without pain, without sorrow.  The Kingdom will be like The Garden of Eden, but without satan.  Israel will be Heaven on earth.

EZEKIEL 11.19   And GOD said, I will give them One Heart, and I will put a New Spirit within them, and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh.

Heart in Hebrew is LAYVE meaning the emotions of the mind, and love, and joy, our thinking, and acting, our intellect, and wisdom.  The Heart of Flesh will have the wisdom of GOD, and thinking that will be all about GOD, without sin, but with a pure heart.

And The New Spirit that GOD will give to all who are in the one thousand year Messianic Kingdom in Israel is The Holy Spirit.

The stony heart does not obey GOD.  But The Heart of Flesh happily receives what GOD says, and does it.

PSALM 24.1-6, JOHN 14.21-23 

EZEKIEL 11.20 Describes The Heart of Flesh.  That they shall walk in My Statutes.  GOD’S Statutes are His Laws written in Torah, The Law of Moses, and keep My Ordinances.  GOD’S Ordinances are His Judgments and Laws written in The Law of Moses.  And they will do them.  And they shall be My People, and I will be their GOD.

The Heart of flesh joyfully does what GOD says.  One Heart, One Spirit, Loving The LORD with all your Heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.  DEUTERONOMY 6.4-7

Let’s do a Bible Study on The Holy Spirit.

First of all, you receive The Holy Spirit by obeying GOD.  By obeying Every Word GOD Speaks in The Bible from Genesis through Revelation that includes The Law of Moses, The first five books of The Bible.

EZEKIEL 26.26-27, ACTS 5.32, 1 JOHN 2.4-6, 1 JOHN 3.24

WHEN PEOPLE RECEIVE JESUS, THE MESSIAH YESHUA, GOD WILL PUT HIS LAW IN YOUR INWARD PARTS, AND WRITE IT IN YOUR HEART, AND WILL BE YOUR GOD, AND YOU WILL BE FULLY PART OF GOD’S PEOPLE.  HOWEVER IF YOU REFUSE TO OBEY GOD’S LAW, THE LAW OF MOSES, GOD WILL REMOVE THE HOLY SPIRIT FROM YOU. 

JEREMIAH 31.31-34, EZEKIEL 11.19-20. 1 JOHN 1.9

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD.

GOD DESCRIBES HIMSELF AS US, OUR, AND WE, BECAUSE GOD IS THE FATHER, THE MESSIAH YESHUA, THE SPIRIT, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.  ALL ARE ONE AND THE SAME GOD.  SO WHEN GOD SAYS, LET “US” MAKE MAN IN “OUR” IMAGE, AFTER “OUR” LIKENESS, OR, AS MESSIAH SAYS, IF A MAN LOVES ME, HE WILL KEEP MY WORDS, AND MY FATHER WILL LOVE HIM, AND “WE” WILL COME INTO HIM AND MAKE “OUR” HOME WITH HIM.  THE ONE GOD IS THE FATHER, THE MESSIAH YESHUA, THE SPIRIT, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. “US”  ONE AND THE SAME GOD.

GENESIS 1.26, JOHN 14.23

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD.

MESSIAH YESHUA, JESUS, JEHOVAH, GOD, GOD ALMIGHTY, THE FATHER, THE SPIRIT, ARE THE HOLY SPIRIT. ALL ARE ONE AND THE SAME GOD.

And Yeshua said, If a person loves Me, that person will keep My Words.  That is, he or she will obey Every Word Messiah Speaks.  For Messiah Yeshua is GOD ALMIGHTY.   AND “WE”  will come into that person, and make “OUR” home with him.  “WE” BEING GOD WHO IS THE FATHER, THE MESSIAH YESHUA, JESUS, AND THE SPIRIT.  THEY ARE THE HOLY SPIRIT.  GOD IS THE HOLY SPIRIT.

TO RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT FROM GOD, YOU MUST OBEY GOD, EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE.  THEN GOD WILL GIVE YOU HIS HOLY SPIRIT AND HE WILL LIVE IN YOU FOREVER, AS LONG AS YOU CONTINUE TO OBEY THE LORD YOUR GOD.  AND THAT IS ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN. 

DEUTERONOMY 8.3, MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH.  JOHN 14.17

THE SOURCE OF TRUTH IS GOD, AND GOD, THE MESSIAH YESHUA IS THE HOLY SPIRIT. 

FOR EXAMPLE, IF SOMEONE SAYS TO YOU, THE LAW OF MOSES IS ABOLISHED, OR NOT VALID, OR OPTIONAL, YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO IT.  THAT IS NOT THE TRUTH, BUT A LIE.  THAT PERSON DOES NOT HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT.

OR IF SOMEONE SAYS TO YOU, YOU ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES, OR THE LAW OF MOSES IS LEGALISM.  LEGALISM, ACCORDING TO WEBSTER’S DICTIONARY, IS STRICT ADHERENCE TO THE LAW, AND TO THE LETTER, BUT NOT THE SPIRIT.  IS GOD NOT SPIRIT? 

THE LAW OF MOSES THAT IS GOD’S LAW IS SPIRIT BECAUSE IT IS GIVEN TO US BY GOD WHO IS SPIRIT THAT TEACHES YOU HOW TO RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT BY OBEYING THE LAW. 

JOHN 4.24

THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE LAW ARE TRUTH THAT COME FROM THE GOD OF TRUTH TO GUIDE YOU IN ALL TRUTH.  AND HE WILL SHOW YOU THINGS TO COME.  JOHN 16.13

ROMANS 8.9  THE FLESH DISOBEYS GOD.  THE FLESH DISOBEYS TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES, WHICH CONTAINS THE LAWS OF GOD.  AND PAUL WRITES, IF ANY PERSON DOES NOT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF MESSIAH WHO IS JEHOVAH, GOD ALMIGHTY, HE OR SHE IS NONE OF HIS.  MEANING, IF THEY DO NOT HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT, THEY DO NOT BELONG TO MESSIAH BECAUSE THEY DO NOT OBEY GOD.

1 JOHN 2.27  THE ANOINTING IS THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO LIVES IN YOU BECAUSE YOU OBEY GOD.  THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH.  AND YOU DO NOT NEED ANY MAN OR WOMAN TO TEACH YOU, BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS TRUTH AND NOT A LIE.  AND AS THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS TAUGHT YOU, YOU SHALL LIVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, CONTINUALLY LOVING GOD, AND LIVING BY HIS SPOKEN WORD IN THE BIBLE.

GOOD EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE HAVING THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE MOSES AND ISAIAH, AND OF COURSE JESUS, BECAUSE THEY LIVED BY THE SPOKEN WORD OF GOD AS WE SHOULD LIVE OUR LIFE BY THE SPOKEN WORD OF GOD.  

NUMBERS 11.14-17, ISAIAH 59.20-21, JOHN 3.34

THOSE WHO ARE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, AND LIVE BY THE TRUTH, YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD.  ROMANS 8.14

THE TEMPLE IS THE HOUSE OF GOD.  AND GOD LIVES IN HIS HOUSE.  AND PAUL WRITES, BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT LIVES IN YOU, YOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD. 

1 CORINTHIANS 3.16-17, 2 CORINTHIANS 6.16-18

GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, WHO IS GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD.  THE WORLD DOES NOT HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD.  1 JOHN 4.4

1 JOHN 4.13  KNOWING IN YOUR HEART THAT YOU OBEY GOD FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE BIBLE TO THE END, AND KNOWING THAT IF YOU CONFESS YOUR SINS OF BREAKING THE LAW OF MOSES, GOD IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE YOU YOUR SINS, AND CLEANSE YOU FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.  THEREFORE YOU KNOW THAT YOU LIVE IN GOD, AND GOD LIVES IN YOU BECAUSE GOD HAS GIVEN YOU HIS HOLY SPIRIT. 

1 JOHN 3.4, 1 JOHN 1.9

AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL BE WITH YOU FOREVER IF YOU LIVE IN THE TRUTH OF GOD FOREVER.  2 JOHN 1-2

SO IN SUMMARY,

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD.

YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT FROM GOD BECAUSE YOU OBEY GOD, EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE THAT INCLUDES TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, THE SOURCE OF ALL TRUTH THAT COMES FROM GOD WHO LIVES IN YOU.

AND THE HOLY SPIRIT LIVES IN YOU FOREVER AS LONG AS YOU CONTINUE TO WALK WITH GOD IN OBEDIENCE TO GOD.  AND SINCE THE HOLY SPIRIT LIVES IN YOU FOREVER, YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN FOREVER WITH THE LORD YOUR GOD.

SO LET’S FINISH BY READING EZEKIEL 11.21-25.

Shalom,

Our message today will come from Ezekiel 9.1-11.

And The Title is, It’s even worse than I thought it was.

So with that said, let’s read Ezekiel 9.1-11.

Remember, GOD took Ezekiel in a vision to The Temple in Jerusalem while Ezekiel was in Babylon with The Jewish captives.  And at The Temple, GOD spoke in a stern voice in the ears of Ezekiel in The vision, saying, Let them that have charge over The City of Jerusalem for judgment come near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.

And six men came from The Upper Gate, each with a slaughter weapon in his hand.  And one man among  them came clothed in linen with a writer’s cup filled with ink by his side.  And he stood by The Bronze Altar at The Temple.

And GOD called the man clothed with linen who had the cup filled with ink by his side.  And The LORD said to him, Go through the midst of Jerusalem and put a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry because of all the abominations of idolatry in the midst of The City.

And to the others, GOD said in Ezekiel’s hearing, Go after him through The City and kill.  Let not your eye spare, neither have pity.  Kill utterly, old men, and old women, and young, both girls and little children, and women.  But do not come near any one who has the mark.  And begin with My Sanctuary, in The Holy Place in My Temple.  Then they began with the elders who were in The Temple.

And GOD said to the destroyers, Defile The Temple, and fill The Courts with the dead.  Go forth.  And they killed in The City.  And while they were killing them, Ezekiel writes, I fell on my face and cried to The LORD, Ah LORD GOD, will you destroy all who remain in Israel in your pouring out of your fury upon Jerusalem?

Then GOD said to me, The iniquity of The House of Israel and Judah is very great, and much, and The Land is full of blood, and The City is filled with depravity, for they say, The LORD has forsaken The Land, and The LORD does not see.

And as for Me also, The LORD said, My Eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will repay them for their way upon their head.

Because of their Idolatry, and violating GOD’S Law, The Law of Moses, GOD judged His Jewish People with death and sorrow.

And the man clothed with linen who had the cup of ink by his side reported, and said, I have done as you have Commanded me.

The Bible is a Book about GOD.  And GOD makes it very clear from the beginning of The Creation, starting in Genesis 2.15-17 and throughout The Bible to the end of The Book of Revelation that He blesses those who Obey him, and curses those who disobey Him.

Yes, I know that billions of people are taught that Christ abolished the Law of Moses and you are no longer under The Law.  Just as satan tricked Adam and Eve to disobey GOD, Satan continues to trick billions of people by telling you that you do not have to obey The Law of Moses.

Disobeying GOD’S Law is the path of sin that does not have a happy ending. 1 JOHN 3.4

Disobedience to GOD is sin.  And disobedience to GOD began with the first two human beings.  And GOD’S judgment is always the same, unless people turn to GOD and repent.  What is repentance?  Turning from all your sins of breaking The Law of Moses to living your life by The Law of Moses.  EZEKIEL 18.21 

Most people know that the first people GOD created were Adam and Eve.  It is written in The Law of Moses in The Bible.  GOD created them both without sin to live forever in a Garden of Eden world.  But GOD suddenly put the crafty, lying satan before Adam and Eve in their perfect world, The Garden of Eden.

Like today, GOD used satan to test Adam and Eve to see if they would obey GOD or not.  Most everyone knows that GOD Commanded Adam that he could eat from every tree in The Garden but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  And GOD said, you shall not eat of it, for in the day you eat from that tree, you shall surely die.

I remember watching the great comedian Flip Wilson on TV a long time ago.  And his joke had something to do with Adam and Eve.  And Flip Wilson, having a big smile on his face, said, The devil made me do it.  And the audience cracked up in laughter.

Everyone knows that Adam and Eve disobeyed GOD by eating the fruit that GOD told them not to eat.  But do people know that instead of living forever in a perfectly beautiful sinless Garden of Eden world, Adam and Eve lived and died in a world of sin, curses, enmity, women having sorrow in bringing forth children, and their desire is to their husband, and he shall rule over the woman.  And the ground is cursed because of Adam’s sin of disobeying GOD.  And because of Adam’s sin, work is tough till we return to the ground, for GOD said to Adam, For out of the dust were you taken.  For dust you are, to dust you shall return.

Because Adam and Eve disobeyed GOD, they left us an example not to disobey GOD, but rather Obey Him.

So GOD drove Adam and Eve out of The Garden of Eden to work the ground from where they were taken.  And GOD kept them away from The Tree of Life.  And in time they both died, as GOD said, because they listened to satan and disobeyed GOD.  GENESIS 2-5

Years later while Adam and Eve were still alive, GOD took Enoch up to Heaven because Enoch Obeyed GOD.

Then in the sixth Chapter of The Bible, GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth.  Like today, wickedness, disobedience to GOD, was great on the earth.

But Noah was Righteous before GOD.  Meaning  Noah obeyed GOD.  Noah obeyed The Words that GOD Spoke.

And GOD destroyed the earth and everyone in it by a flood except Noah and his family of eight because Noah obeyed GOD.  The rest of the world disobeyed GOD.

The millions or billions of people that GOD killed in Noah’s day refused to obey GOD.  GOD can do that because GOD is The Creator of this world and everything in it including you and me.  And GOD sets The Rules for life and death.  GOD’S rules are written in The Law of Moses in the first five books of The Bible, and GOD’S Rules are also every Word GOD speaks in The Bible from Genesis through Revelation that GOD requires the world to obey.

GOD explains in simple everyday language, whatever language people may read in their Bible, and whatever language Bible Teachers teach from their Bible.  And GOD’S language teaches that GOD requires Obedience to every Word GOD Speaks in The Bible.  Life for Obedience to GOD, or death,for Disobeying GOD.

Obedience to GOD is the path of life.  That never changes or ends.

GENESIS 2.16-17, GENESIS 3.1-24, GENESIS 5.5, 24, GENESIS 6.1-9, GENESIS 7.1, ISAIAH 24.4-6

As many people know, GOD established a system for atonement for sin, and everyone sins, and everyone needs atonement for the forgiveness of their sins before GOD.  And GOD provided that atonement.  In the days of The Tabernacle and first and second Temples, GOD provided the animal sacrifice, and its shed blood for atonement.  But nothing changes with GOD.  GOD always requires obedience to every Word He speaks, and blood for atonement.

GOD moved the Romans in 70 C.E./A.D. to destroy Jerusalem and The Temple leaving many Jewish People killed by the Romans.  And GOD scattered His Jewish People throughout the world because we sinned against GOD by rejecting Our GOD and Messiah Yeshua.  We should have known then, and we should know today that Messiah Yeshua is The GOD of Israel. Because it is Prophesied in Tnakh, The Old Testament, and fulfilled in The Jewish New Testament.

GOD Prophesied in Tnakh, the exact time Messiah would come to Israel, the exact time He would be killed, but not for Himself, that He would rise from the dead, and the grief and death He would suffer for our Atonement.  And that Messiah is GOD, ELOHIM.

And written in The New Testament, a Jewish Bible written by Jewish People is the fulfilment of GOD’S Prophecies in Tnakh concerning our Jewish Messiah.

And in Jerusalem, Messiah said to His Jewish People, You should have known the time of My Visit.  For I say unto you, You shall not see Me again till you shall say, Blessed is He Who comes in The Name of The LORD.

MATTHEW 23.36-39, LUKE 19.41-44, HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5, MICAH 5.1, CHRISTIAN BIBLE ISAIAH 9.6, MICAH 5.2, ISAIAH 52.13-15, ISAIAH 53.1-12, DANIEL 9.20-27, ELOHIM, ETC.

AND JEWISH PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THE MEANING OF ELOHIM WHEN IT COMES TO THE GOD OF ISRAEL.  AND JEWISH PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW WHAT GOD MEANS WHEN HE SAYS, LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE.

ELOHIM IS THE ONE GOD, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, HA SHEM, GOD ALMIGHTY, THE FATHER, THE MESSIAH YESHUA, THE SPIRIT, THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND MUCH MORE.  ALL ARE ONE AND THE SAME GOD.  JEWISH PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THAT FOR LIFE, EVEN ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN.  AND JEWISH PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THAT THEY MUST LIVE BY THE SHEMA.  

GENESIS 1.1, 26, DEUTERONOMY 6.4

Satan did not suddenly die or flee, or disappear after the days of Adam and Eve.  Satan is alive and well today with his craft using his ministers to deceive people, teaching that Jesus abolished GOD’S Law, The Law of Moses, just as satan tricked Eve by telling her, you shall not surely die.  GENESIS 3.1-6

We are taught the lie that when the veil of The Temple was torn when Messiah was crucified, The Law of Moses was abolished.  I gotta tell you ladies and gentlemen, nowhere in The Bible is it written that because The Veil was torn in The Temple when Messiah was crucified The Law of Moses was abolished.  That is crazy.  No one, not even GOD can abolish The Law of Moses.  No one can abolish one Word GOD speaks.

Then there is the universal lie that Jesus abolished The Law of Moses when He was crucified because Jesus obeyed The Law of Moses, and fulfilled The Law.  That’s a flat out lie that leads to sin, death, and hell.

The Bible says that GOD is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that He should change His Mind.  NUMBERS 23.19

And today satan is still doing a good job of lying, teaching people to disobey GOD by disobeying The Law of Moses.  satan is working overtime to get you to disobey GOD, to disobey The Spoken Word of GOD that is The Law of Moses.  In fact, satan is GOD’S test to test you to see if you will obey GOD or not.  And satan, as Paul writes, is a decitful worker transformed into an angel of light, along with his ministers to deceive you.

2 CORINTHIANS 11.13-15, EPHESIANS 5.11, ISAIAH 45.7, DEUTERONOMY 8.2, JUDGES 2.20-23, JUDGES 3.1, 4

Most Bibles trick you into disobeying GOD by writing, For you are not under The Law but under grace.  But in fact, living your life not under GOD’S Law of Moses is a ticket to sin, death, and hell.  Thinking you are not under The Law is the same as satan saying to Eve, You shall surely not die.  ROMANS 6.14-16

14  For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under The Law.  That is a lie.

15  Because sin is transgressing The Law of Moses.  1 JOHN 3.4

16  Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, whether to sin unto death, or of obedience unto Righteousness.

Believing you are not under The Law, and you do not obey The Law of Moses, you are a servant of satan unto sin and death.  

Listen to what Jesus says about The Law in JOHN 18.37  Pilate therefore said to Jesus, Are you a King then?  Jesus answered, You say that I am a King.  To this end was I born and for this cause I came into the world that I should bear witness of The Truth.  Everyone that is of The Truth Hears My Voice.  THE TRUTH IS THE LAW OF MOSES.  PSALM 119.142, ISAIAH 51.6-8

PEOPLE WHO DISOBEY GOD BY DISOBEYING HIS SPOKEN WORD IN THE BIBLE WILL NEVER RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT UNLESS THEY TURN TO GOD AND OBEY GOD, EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE.  ACTS 5.32, EZEKIEL 18.21

Again, the doctrine of the trinity of one GOD being three different GODS is certainly not Biblical but has pagan roots.  Nor is Jesus equal with GOD.  JESUS is not equal with GOD.  JESUS is GOD.

ISAIAH 40.25-26, ISAIAH 46.5-6,  PHILIPPIANS 2.6 IS A LIE, JOHN 12.44-45, JOHN 14.8, HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.6, CHRISTIAN BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5

GOD gives us so many examples and warnings in The Bible.  Examples for blessings, and examples for curses. Ezekiel 1-9 are examples for curses.

Jewish People have been slammed by GOD for disobeying GOD and worshipping idols.  Do Jewish People worship idols today?  No, but we Jewish People are in sin, sinning against GOD, because we still have anti Semitism.  One major sin many Jewish People are doing against GOD is rejecting Their GOD and Messiah Yeshua, Jesus Who is The Holy One of Israel.

The Jesus Christ who abolished The Law of Moses is not GOD.

Ezekiel has the answer.  Ezekiel writes, But if the wicked, the wicked are ungodly people who do not obey GOD’S Laws written in The Law of Moses, if the wicked will turn from all their sins, sin is breaking The Law of Moses, 1 John 3.4, that he has committed, and keeps all My Statutes, that is GOD’S Laws written in The Law of Moses, and does that which is lawful and right, obeying GOD by obeying His Law of Moses, and having Messiah Yeshua, Jesus for your Atonement, he shall surely live.  He shall not die.  EZEKIEL 18.21
