What is Your destiny?

Paul helps us see our options in 1 Corinthians 15:44:  “There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.”

Our current state of life is as a natural body. That is how Adam was created and we are descended from him. Paul confirms this in 1 Corinthians 15:47: “The first man is of the earth, earthy:” 

Paul again confirms our destiny in 1 Corinthians 15:49:  “And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.”(Spiritual) Our current human or natural state cannot inherit the Kingdom of Yahweh. (1 Corinthians 15:50) We must lose this mortality and become immortal. (1 Corinthians 15: 53)

We all must experience death. However, our existence ceases when we die. This is confirmed in Ecclesiastes 9:5, “for the living know they shall die: but the dead know nothing.”

After our death we have no thoughts, dreams or any type of existence. The good news is that everyone who dies will live again.

Every created human being that has ever been conceived will live again. Just as all men have their own time of life and death, each of us has a different time for our resurrection from death. Paul confirms this in 1 Corinthians 15:23:  “but every man in his own order:”

The saints or firstfruits will be resurrected first. This will be a resurrection to a spiritual life. The apostle John tells us this in Revelation 20:6: 

“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of Yahweh and of Messiah, and shall reign with him 1000 years.” 

The saints only die once. When they are resurrected, they will no longer be mortal but will put on a spiritual body.

What is the second death? All mankind who aren’t resurrected when Messiah returns will have to wait until the thousand-year reign is completed. At that time all mankind who are left in death will be resurrected as mortal human beings. They will receive the Spirit of Yahweh and have 100 years to be judged. Their destiny will either be the second death, or lake of fire, or they will be qualified to enter the kingdom of Yahweh along with the saints.

There will be no flesh and blood in the Kingdom. The new heavens and earth will not be a natural creation but a spiritual one. (2 Peter 3: 12-13; Isaiah 65:17) Everyone who emerges after the second resurrection, or the lake of fire, will have spiritual bodies. They will therefore be qualified to enter the new heavens and earth.

After death, we do not go to heaven. Heaven comes to us in the form of a new heaven and earth. Yahweh brings his throne and his kingdom to the new earth that will be the center of the new universe.

The saints will be resurrected when Messiah returns and will remain on the earth with him. The second resurrection will bring the rest of mankind back to earth where they will be judged. After their judgment this present natural universe will be destroyed. The saints, those judged to qualify for the second resurrection and those who complete their time in the lake of fire will all be in the new heavens and earth.

The question you must have is what is MY destiny? Will it be the first resurrection, second resurrection or the lake to fire prior to entering the new heavens and earth? For us to really answer this you must first be baptized in the name of inheritance, YahwehShua.

At that time you will freely receive the Spirit of the Father and that Spirit will provide you with the down payment of the Spirit of Messiah. As that spirit is formed within you (Galatians 4:19), you will become more like Messiah. His Spirit over time displaces your carnal self so that upon your death you will be eligible for the resurrection when he returns. You will then be like him. (1 John 3:2) It is his Spirit found within you that allows you to be in the better resurrection. (Hebrews 11:35)

The only qualification to being in the second resurrection is that you were conceived as a human being and did not qualify to be in the first resurrection. All those in death, and not in any way conscious, will be given a second mortal life. During this resurrection the saints will judge them. They will either be qualified to enter the new heavens and earth or will be cast into the lake of fire or the second death. Those in the lake of fire will not remain in the state of death but will eventually be transformed into spiritual beings so that they can enter the new heavens and earth.

Notice in Revelation 21:1 where we are informed that:  “the first heavens and the first earth were passed away.”  This occurs with the destruction of all physical matter. (2 Peter 3:12)

When we began this article, I told you that there are two states: natural and spiritual. At a future time the natural state will be totally destroyed. Only our spiritual state will remain. We will all become spirit beings.

The Light of YahwehShua is able to provide you with the guidance necessary to overcome into the better resurrection. This requires baptism in YahwehShua and obedience to Yahweh. It is not easy.

The second resurrection will happen. No effort is required on your part. If you are not in the first resurrection, you will either be in the second resurrection or the lake of fire. Your ultimate destiny is to be a spirit being. You cannot choose to be immortal or a spirit being. Your decision to accept or reject Yahweh’s calling will affect your position as a spiritual being.

Please consider the benefits of being in the better resurrection. It will not be easy but it will be worth it. Contact us for more information.  If you wish to submit a question or comment, please email our Elder at john12e4567@gmail.com.

The destiny of the Saints in the better resurrection and beyond!

The saints, those called and chosen during this age, have the opportunity of being in a better resurrection. (Hebrews 11:35) Every human being who has ever been conceived will be resurrected. This is true of even those who have died as a fetus or infant.

Satan has deceived the world. (Revelation 12:9) He began with the angels in heaven and continued with Adam and Eve in the garden. His work continues today as described in first Peter 5:8:  “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”

In our “modern” society we have become too sophisticated to acknowledge the existence of Satan the devil. However, religions have diverted our attention with the concept of eternal torture, going to heaven after death, hiding the true name of our Creator, promoting the myth about the immortal soul, using erroneous translations of the Scriptures and many other false understandings. Most people are not aware that these are deceptions. These unaware people are not being called at this time. Those who die deceived will have their opportunity in the second resurrection.

The time period from the Pentecost described in Acts 2 until the return of Messiah is the age for the saints to be called and chosen. (Matthew 20:16) Only the Father calls the saints (John 6:44) and only the Son chooses them. (John 15:16) You do not decide to be called, but you can accept or reject that calling. Yahweh, the Father, who has known the saints from the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1: 4) is the only one to make this calling.

How do you know if you are being called? If you are attracted to this website, find the articles of interest, study, pray to Yahweh for truth and contact us for guidance, this may be YOUR invitation from the Father. You can reject it. But it was the Father who issued the invitation. However if you reject His calling, you will have missed the greatest opportunity of this age. There is no second chance.

The saints or firstfruits are being called and chosen to become part of the order of Melchizedek. They will serve as priests of Yahweh and of Messiah. (Revelation 20:6) They will forever be with Messiah. They will not face the second death, the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:6) They are being groomed to become priests and judges. They will judge the angels and the rest of mankind in the second resurrection. When the saints are resurrected they will be like Messiah. (1 John 3:2)

The way to the kingdom is not easy. There will be sacrifices and difficulties. The book of Acts 14:22 warns us that:  “We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of Yahweh.”

There is help available. Once you are baptized in the name of YahwehShua, you will receive the down payment of Messiah’s Spirit. His Spirit, as it is being formed within you (Galatians 4:19) gradually gives you the mind and faith of Messiah. This enhanced mind will allow you to better grasp the truth of Yahweh and become a contributing member to the body of Messiah.

The body of Messiah, or the ekklesia, is a wonderful gift. It is a fellowship of those called and chosen to be saints. They assemble together, pray for each other, practice true love for each other and walk this great path to the kingdom together. Not all will make it. However, your greatest chance for overcoming is by actively fellowshipping with other members of the body of Messiah.

Messiah tells us this in Matthew 18:20:  “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Those gathered in the name of YahwehShua will have HIS support and encouragement. He works within you as well as through the other saints. This walk is best taken with the other saints. The devil is looking for solitary, isolated people easily picked off. This is the way of a lion hunting its prey. (1 Peter 5:8)

The ultimate destiny of all human beings is to be in the new heavens and earth. (1 Peter 3:12; Isaiah 65:17) The new heavens and earth are of a spirit substance, not physical, as it is now. This material physical world is destined to be destroyed by fire. (1 Peter 3:12) Flesh and blood cannot enter the Kingdom of Yahweh because it will be located in the new heavens and earth. (1 Corinthians 15:50)

Being called and chosen as a saint during this age is an incredible opportunity. Your examining this website may be part of that invitation. Be careful, and don’t reject it.

The saints have the destiny of being in the first resurrection and reigning with Messiah for 1000 years. They will never die again and will be given the responsibility of judging angels and mankind. Then, following the destruction of this present material universe, they will enter the new heavens and earth. They will automatically enter New Jerusalem and serve Yahweh for eternity.

Take note of this! All mankind in the new heavens and earth will not have a memory of how they got there and what went on before. (Isaiah 65:17) 

The saints, as well as all mankind outside or in New Jerusalem, will not remember how or why they got there. That memory would be painful. (Revelation 21:4) How merciful Yahweh is to consider that important detail. He is very detail oriented. Nothing escapes Him. There is nothing left to chance for saints, as they are guided by Yahweh’s will and love for them. Even the death of a saint is of interest to Yahweh. (Psalms 116: 15) He has known us from the foundation of the world and follows our progress even to our death. Our death in YahwehShua is a significant moment for HIM. At that time we have demonstrated our overcoming and will be allowed to become part of the YAHWEH FAMILY.

Please take this invitation seriously. This is the Father, who has known you from the foundation of the world, personally extending this invitation to you. This is a serious moment in your existence. Consider the benefits of being a saint.

The members of the Light of YahwehShua have the experience and understanding of what it takes to be a saint who overcomes. We can be your mentors to provide you with the best possibility of overcoming into the kingdom. We, of the body of Messiah, are here to assist all who were being called and chosen.

Who are we? We are those who Messiah has commanded to love one another as he loved us. (John 15:12; 2 John 5-6)  All those baptized in YahwehShua are our brothers and sisters. We are obligated to “Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another.” (Romans 12:10) To learn even more about our command from Messiah read the entire chapter of Romans 12. 

Those in YahwehShua are the best source of information on how to take advantage of your calling. Learn from our mistakes and successes. What Yahweh has given us is freely available to you! Come on! Give us a try. What do you have to lose?

Your Destiny with YAHWEHSHUA

Recently we received an email request asking for more information about YahwehShua.  The following was intended to answer her question:

The King James Bible or similar translation tells you much about YahwehShua.

In the Old Testament he is known as Yahweh, Yahweh of hosts, etc. However, the King James Version (KJV) uses the word LORD instead of the proper name Yahweh. There are two members in the Yahweh family revealed in the Old Testament:  The Father, who remains in the light and the Son, who is the creator of all things.

In the New Testament, we learn about the physical presence or incarnate form that Yahweh, the Son, became: Yahshua.  The translations read the Greek incorrectly and call him Jesus. 

The name of the Son is very important. In Deuteronomy 29:20 we learn that whoever receives all the curses will have his name blotted out. In Galatians 3:13 we learn that Yahshua became a curse for us. In 2 Corinthians 5:21, we learn that Yahshua became sin for all mankind. Only one man, Yahshua, died in sin.

In the book of Acts, verse 2:38, Peter is quoted as telling us to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. However, as stated before, Jesus Christ is the wrong name. Peter said this after the resurrection of the Messiah at which time he inherited a new name. (Hebrews 1:4) His blood had absorbed all sin. His human name was attached to that blood and is therefore defiled. He had to have a new name before he appeared before His Father. You can read about his appearance before his Father in Zechariah, chapter 3.

Messiah is the high priest of the order of Melchizedek. (Hebrews 6:20) The high priest can only appear before Yahweh with the name of Yahweh on his forehead. (Exodus 28:36-38) Therefore the name inherited by the Son had to include the name Yahweh. After his resurrection, his name became YahwehShua, Yahweh-savior.

If we are to become saints and have the opportunity to be resurrected when Messiah returns, we must be baptized in the correct name. A human name is not acceptable. It must be the inherited name of YahwehShua. 

The ultimate destiny of all mankind who has ever been conceived is to be in the new heavens and earth. (2 Peter 3:13; Isaiah 65:17) In the new heavens and earth, we will find the kingdom of Yahweh on the earth. Not one human being is lost. Some however, will be outside the kingdom. (Revelation 22:15) The saints and those they judge eligible to be in the kingdom will live within the walls of the kingdom of Yahweh.

You can see that religions teach us lies. When we die we don’t go to either heaven or hell. There are resurrections. The first is for the saints. The second is a physical resurrection for all the rest of mankind. Everyone goes to the new heavens and earth. 

This is my answer to your question. There is much more on our website. As you read and study, please pray to Yahweh for truth. The greatest understanding however comes only after baptism in the inherited name of YahwehShua. We are always available to be of help to you.  If you wish to submit a question or comment, please include your email address so we may respond to you.

YAHWEH'S TRUTH about 2 Corinthians 6:2

Translations of the Bible are not very accurate and interfere with our ability to understand His purpose for all mankind.

The King James Bible translation of the Greek 2 Corinthians 6:2 is a sad example of the damage that can be done.  That verse is as follows:  “For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee; behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”

This verse is a quote of apostle Paul from Isaiah 49:8. Please compare the above quote with the actual verse Paul referred to:  “Thus saith the LORD, [Yahweh in Hebrew which is another example of problematic translations] in an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritage;”

Young’s literal translation of 2 Corinthians 6:2 is as follows:  (“For he saith, in an acceptable time I did hear thee, and in a day of salvation I did help thee, lo, now [is] a well accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation).”

The Word of Yahweh bible translates this New Testament verse as follows:  “ (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I helped thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)”

The Diaglott offers this translation:  “ (For he says, ‘ In a season acceptable, I listened to thee, and in a day of salvation I assisted thee.’ Behold! Now is a well accepted season; Behold! Now is a day of salvation;)”

You will note in the above verses I bolded the articles that I wanted to emphasize. The article “a” preceded the word salvation in Isaiah 49: 8. However, in some translations of Paul’s quote, the article used was a “the” instead of the correct article “a”. 

The King James Version and the Word of Yahweh quoted above follow the translations you will find in the Geneva Bible, the 1611 King James Version and the Catholic Douey-Rheims Bible. Young’s Literal Translation, the Diaglott, the Rotherham Emphasized Bible and the Concordant Literal Version correctly translate Paul’s quotation from the Hebrew Isaiah 49:8 as, “a” day of salvation.

The incorrect choice of the article “the” over the article “a” makes a substantial difference in the content of this verse. Religionists, who say this age or time period is the only one, promote the untruthful use of “the”. Those who understand what the book of Revelation says understand that there are two resurrections to judgment, not just one.

Messiah died on April 25, 31CE, a Wednesday. He was resurrected before sundown on the weekly Sabbath, April 28. Messiah then ascended to the Father the next day, April 29, the first day of the week.  With Messiah’s resurrection he became “the firstfruit of them that slept.”  (1 Corinthians 15:20)  In verse 23 of that same chapter we are told,“every man in his own order: Messiah the firstfruits; afterward they that are Messiah’s at His coming.”

These firstfruits that are resurrected at the coming of Messiah have received the free gift of the Spirit of the Father, which provided the implanting of the Son’s Spirit as described in Acts 2.  The Spirit of the Father initiates the forming of the Spirit of Messiah. (Galatians 4: 19) It is the Spirit of Messiah that allows one to be in the better resurrection when Messiah returns. (Romans 8: 9-10)

The “a” day of salvation is referring to the time period beginning with the Pentecost that followed Messiah’s resurrection and ends when he returns. This is the time period or age when the firstfruits are judged.  The 144,000 firstfruits (Revelation 14: 1) are those who have been determined to successfully have the Spirit of Messiah formed within them. This success is referred to as overcoming.

This is why Peter tells us that, “judgment must begin at the house of Yahweh.”(1 Peter 4:17)  The 144,000 firstfruits that are resurrected when Messiah returns have successfully been judged to be eligible for that resurrection. Their overcoming is verified by the name of the Father and Son on their foreheads, YahwehShua. (Revelation 14: 1)

We, the firstfruits of this age, are being judged NOW.  This is why Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 6:2 that, “Now is a day of salvation.” This is the age or day of OUR judgment. Paul confirms this by telling us in 1 Corinthians 15:23 that: “every man in his own order:  Messiah the firstfruits; afterward they that are Messiah’s at his coming.”

But this is NOT THE ONLY resurrection of mankind. This is only “a” day of salvation, which leads to the resurrection of the firstfruits. 

But wait, there is more! All the rest of mankind who are not in the better resurrection (except those who were called but not chosen) will have a resurrection to physical life after the thousand year reign of Messiah.  John confirms this in Revelation 20:5: “But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.”

Yes, all persons who were ever conceived will live again. They are resurrected during the last great day. That is truly “the day” of salvation for the rest of mankind.

Yahshua spoke about this day in John 7:37:  “In the last day,[of judgment] that great day of the feast, Yahshua stood and cried, saying, ‘if any man thirst, let him come under me, and drink.’

This is the same period of time that the prophet Joel spoke about in Joel 2: 28:

“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; [remember, this is a physical resurrection] and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.”

Every human being that was ever conceived, and not included in the better resurrection, will have this day of judgment. No human being is left behind. Remember, we are told in 1 John 1:7 that Messiah cleanseth us from ALL sin. He was the only human to die in sin. This is why only his birth name is blotted out. (Deuteronomy 29:20)

I was recently speaking to a young man who was inquiring about our website. He was very interested, but also quite concerned about his loved ones. What happens to them? He was concerned about hell and the possibility of their being tortured for eternity.

I was able to show him that the Scriptures do not teach eternal damnation and eternal torture. There is no hell! That is a lie promoted by religionists who teach lies. Who is their father? The answer can be found in John 8:44.

In the New Testament, the English word eternal is the incorrect word to use for the Greek words, aion or aionios. These eons or ages are actually short, time-limited periods, which arenotforever.

For example, consider Mark 3:29:  “But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.”  The Greek word translated as eternal is aionios. (Strong’s 166)  The word, judgment, is a better translation from the Greek than the word damnation. (Strong’s 2920)

Remember, no translation is 100% accurate. You must approach each one carefully and study deeply into the words they use. Even the misuse of an article can cause someone to walk away from pursuing the path to becoming a firstfruit.

Matthew 20:16 states that:  “many be called, but few chosen.” This refers to the current age of judgment that is only “a” day of judgment. The rest of mankind, those not called at this time, will have their day in the future.

Yahweh truly is loving and merciful. Satan, through religionists, has promoted a lie about him. The Father, through his Son, has reconciled all mankind. (Romans 5:10) Reconciliation is the free gift of life. This means that each person that was conceived will be raised from the dead.

The firstfruits, of course, are reconciled, but additionally they are saved. Salvation for the firstfruits is the inheritance they receive in the Kingdom. Many on the last great day will also receive an inheritance in the kingdom when the new heavens and earth are created.

Those in the last great day who reject their opportunity to have the Spirit of Messiah formed at that time will be cast into the lake of fire. The time they spend in the lake of fire is age abiding, not forever. They will eventually join all of firstfruits in the new earth, but will live outside the walls of New Jerusalem. (Revelation 22:15)

Through this website, those who are being called NOW to become firstfruits are being informed about a great future that could be theirs. This may be an opportunity for you. Only the Father does the calling. (John 6:44) We are here only to assist you. 

The first step to becoming a firstfruit is baptism in the name of YahwehShua. Any other name is of no value. Notice the narrative about Apollos in the book of Acts, chapters 18 to 19. He was an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, but had only the baptism of repentance provided by John the Baptist. Even Apollos had to be baptized correctly in the name of YahwehShua before he could become a firstfruit and overcome into the better resurrection. (Hebrews 11:35)

Take your time, study, search the Scriptures and pray for truth to Yahweh. Matthew 7:7 teaches us to ask, seek, and knock. We must be diligent. This is the greatest opportunity of this age. Don’t overlook it. Contact us for assistance. You have no obligation to us, but you may have one to Father Yahweh.

Pray for truth to Father Yahweh. Contact us for more information and guidance. We are here to serve Yahweh and the body of Messiah.  If you wish to submit a question or comment, please email our Elder at john12e4567@gmail.com.

THERE IS NO HELL--so says the pope

If you go online to patheos.com, you will find a news article by the Progressive Secular Humanist titled, Pope Francis declares ‘There Is No Hell’  - Vatican Disagrees. In fact, if you do a search for articles about the pope declaring there is no hell, you will find many websites discussing this hot news item.

The pope was questioned by the journalist, Eugenio Scalfari, who reported that, “Pope Francis explained there is no hell, and that sinners will not be punished for eternity.” 

This article went on to give a quote from the Catechism of the Catholic Church regarding hell:

“The teaching of the church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, ‘eternal fire’.   The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God, in whom alone man can possess life and happiness for which he was created and for which he longs.”

You will find many websites that discuss this new revelation. As an example, there is apostolicfriendsforum.com. There you will find responses like this: “lots of people need a refund“ or “indulgences sold…. What a rip off.”

You may even want to visit the website, kahalyahweh.net where you will find an intriguing article under the alpha-list titled, HAS RELIGION LIED TO US? The author explores many issues that he considers lies perpetrated by religion.

You may also wish to visit the website tentmaker.org. Here you will find many articles that challenge the concept of hell proclaimed by religion. For example, you will find an article by Gary Amirault titled, THE ANCIENT INVENTORS AND MODERN PERPETUATORS OF HELL.

You will find many articles at this website that reveal the truth about religion's concept of hell. There is a book reprinted on this website by a J W Hanson, D. D. that was published in 1888 called, THE BIBLE HELL. This website confirms that you should not make your decisions about our Creator and his purpose for us simply by listening to religious spokesmen.

To find the truth, you cannot simply rely on Bible translations. You must go more deeply by using a concordance and looking up the Hebrew or Greek words that are being translated. The Bible translators were influenced by many pagan myths. 

The Messiah was not introducing a new religion to the world. In John 14: 6 he said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”  The members of the Light of YahwehShua follow the way that was taken by Messiah. We are not a religion. We do not have our own Bible.  All Bible translations are suspect and must be examined carefully.

What Messiah did introduce to us was the new covenant. He died in sin and therefore took away ALL the sin of the world. When you go deeply into the Bible, you find many wonderful truths. In addition to the fact that there is no eternal hell, you will learn that all mankind will be resurrected and live again.

I invite you to study the articles on our website. These introduce you to many of Yahweh’s wonderful truths. Do not just accept the information in these articles. Challenge and study them. We welcome your questions. It is not our job to call the world to repentance. We are here to receive those that the Father has called. (John 6: 44)
