And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven…

Ephesians: 2
Destined for Wrath, Saved by Grace
1 You were dead in your trespasses and sins. 2 At that time, you walked in the way of this world, in conformity to the ruler of the domain of the air—the ruler of the spirit who is now operating in the sons of disobedience. 3 We too all lived among them in the cravings of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and the mind. By nature we were children of wrath, just like the others. 4 But God was rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us. 5 Even when we were dead in our trespasses, He made us alive together with Messiah. (By grace you have been saved!) 6 And He raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Messiah Yeshua—7 to show in the olam ha-ba the measureless richness of His grace in kindness toward us in Messiah Yeshua. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not from yourselves—it is the gift of God. 9 It is not based on deeds, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are His workmanship—created in Messiah Yeshua for good deeds, which God prepared beforehand so we might walk in them.
Jew and Gentile, One in Messiah
11 Therefore, keep in mind that once you—Gentiles in the flesh—were called “uncircumcision” by those called “circumcision” (which is performed on flesh by hand). 12 At that time you were separate from Messiah, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Messiah Yeshua, you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah. 14 For He is our shalom, the One who made the two into one and broke down the middle wall of separation. In His body 15 He made the principle of mitzvot by decrees of no effect. He did this in order to create within Himself one new man from the two groups, making shalom, 16 and to reconcile both to God in one body through the cross—by which He put the hostility to death. 17 And He came and proclaimed shalom to you who were far away and shalom to those who were near—18 for through Him we both have access to the Father by the same Ruach. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household. 20 You have been built on the foundation made up of the emissaries and prophets, with Messiah Yeshua Himself being the cornerstone. 21 In Him the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple for the Lord. 22 In Him, you also are being built together into God’s dwelling place in the Ruach.

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you…
(John 15:12 KJV)
For “Everyone who calls upon the name of Adonai shall be saved…”
(Paul’s Letter to the Romans 10:13 TLV)
I know many people will probably be mad and send me a lot of Hate mail, but, I DON’T CARE…!!!
Why do we as a society have to single out people by their: Race, Religion, Color, Ethnic origin, Sexual preference, Gender or anything else that separates us from the “Human Race???”
The Almighty, One, True, and Still Living GOD; YHVH~JEHOVAH, YESHUA~JESUS, RUACH HA~KODESH~HOLY SPIRIT Created us as one Race of Humans to fellowship with Him~Them…
All over the world there are Innocent people being Persecuted, Tortured, and Murdered just because they Love ~JESUS~
While this is All happening the main stream news media is frantically trying to beat each other to let us All know about the earth shattering Breaking news that the St. Louis Rams cut the first openly gay football player in the NFL.
I say this now, just as I did when they first drafted him, “WHO CARES!!!”
Why does Our politically correct society single someone out for anything else other than the Accomplishment or the consequences??? To do this does Nothing else but to Divide us even more… If someone does something good they should be Praised for the act and nothing else. On the other hand if something unfortunate happens to someone they should be Supported and Up lifted Only because it’s the right thing to do in the eyes of ~GOD~, Nothing else.
When we separate Ourselves from each other then we are Only doing what the devil wants us to do. If we would all come together as one body in ~Christ JESUS~ what a wonderful world this would be…
Don’t misunderstand me. I’m Not saying that I condone anything that contradicts The Holy Bible, because I don’t!!! However, I don’t condemn anyone to Eternal Punishment in The Lake Of Fire either. That’s ~GOD’s~ unfortunate duty. Praise be to Him that I don’t have to make that fateful decision…
Brothers and Sisters, we are living in the very last of the last days here on this earth.
If you don’t believe me please study Bible Prophecy as we are All Commanded to do so in the Bible. Also Quit watching the devils TV, movies and listening to the devils music and take the time to look around you and see what’s really happening around the world and even right in your own community.
One day, there Truly will be “CHANGE”, not only in America, but in the whole world. Whether it is Good or Bad for each individual is entirely up to each and every individual…
~GOD~ created each and everyone of us with free Will and freedom of choice. If you choose to accept ~JESUS CHRIST~ as your personal Lord and Savior then you will live with Him in Paradise forever…
If you choose to follow the devil, the world or anyone else then you will suffer Eternal~Unending~Torment in The Lake Of Fire…
This is Not a Religion. If you don’t have a close Personal relationship with ~JESUS~ please follow the links below and begin one right now before it’s too late. I’m Praying to meet each and everyone of you in ~GOD’s~ Glorious Kingdom…
Shalom~Maranatha!!!

Jeremiah: 4
1 If you will return, O Israel, return to Me,” declares ADONAI. “If you will put your detestable things out of My sight. Then you will not waver. 2 You will swear, ‘As ADONAI lives!’ in truth, in justice and in righteousness. The nations will bless themselves in Him and in Him they will glory. 3 Thus says ADONAI to the people of Judah and to Jerusalem: “Break up your unplowed ground and do not sow among thorns. 4 Circumcise yourselves to ADONAI and remove the foreskins of your heart, men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Else My wrath will break out like fire and blaze, with no one to quench it, because of your evil deeds!
Imminent Invasion from the North
5 Declare in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem, saying: “Blow the shofar in the land!” Cry aloud and say, “Assemble yourselves! Let us go into the fortified cities. 6 Raise a banner toward Zion! Take refuge! Do not delay! For I bring calamity from the north, even terrible destruction. 7 A lion has come up from his thicket—a destroyer of nations has set out. He has left his place to make your land a wasteland. Your cities will lie in ruins, without inhabitant. 8 Therefore, put on sackcloth—lament and wail! For the fierce anger of ADONAI has not turned away from us.” 9 It will happen in that day”—it is a declaration of ADONAI—”that the king’s heart will fail, as will the heart of the princes. The kohanim will be appalled, and the prophets will be stunned. 10 Then I said, “Alas, ADONAI Elohim! How completely you have deceived this people and Jerusalem saying, ‘You will have shalom,’ until the sword touches the soul! 11 At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, “A scorching wind from the barren hills in the wilderness blows toward My people, but not to winnow or to sift—12 a wind too strong for these things will come from Me. Now even I will pronounce judgments against them. 13 See, he comes up like clouds, and his chariots like whirlwinds. His horses are swifter than eagles—”Oy! We are ruined! 14 O Jerusalem, purify your heart from wickedness, so that you may be saved. How long will your wicked thoughts lodge within you? 15 A voice announces from Dan and proclaims calamity from the hills of Ephraim, 16 Remind the nations, proclaim over Jerusalem! Besiegers are soon coming from a far country, raising their voice against the cities of Judah. 17 Like keepers of a field they surround her, because she has been rebellious against Me.” It is a declaration of ADONAI. 18 Your conduct and your deeds have brought these things on you. This is your calamity! How bitter it is! How it smites your heart! 19 My stomach, my stomach! I writhe in anguish! The pain of my heart! My heart is pounding within me! I cannot keep silent because I have heard, O my soul, the sound of the shofar, the battle-cry of war. 20 Disaster on disaster is reported. So the whole land is ruined. My tents are suddenly ravaged, my curtains in an instant. 21 How long must I see the battle standard and hear the sound of the shofar? 22 For My people are foolish. They do not know Me. They are senseless children, and they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, but to do good they do not know. 23 I looked at the earth and behold, it was deserted and desolate, and at the heavens and they had no light. 24 I looked at the mountains—behold, they were shaking and all the hills swaying to and fro. 25 I looked and behold, no people! All the birds of the sky had fled. 26 I looked and behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness and all of its cities were in ruins before ADONAI, before His fierce anger. 27 For thus says ADONAI,” The whole land will be wasteland, yet I will not totally destroy it. 28 Therefore, the earth will mourn and the heavens above grow black. For I have spoken, I have purposed, nor will I relent, nor turn from it. 29 At the sound of horsemen and archers the whole city flees. They go into the thickets and climb up on the rocks. The whole city is deserted—no one dwells in it. 30 And you, O desolate one, what will you do? Though you dress in scarlet, though you adorn yourself with gold ornaments though you enlarge your eyes with paint—in vain you make yourself beautiful—your lovers despise you, they seek your life. 31 For I heard a cry like one in labor, the anguish of one giving birth to her first child—the cry of the Daughter of Zion gasping for breath, stretching out her hands saying, “Oy, now to me! For my soul faints before murderers.

1st Corinthians: 2
Wisdom that Rests on God’s Power
1 When I came to you, brethren, I did not come with excellence of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery of God. 2 For I decided not to know about anything among you except Yeshua the Messiah—and Him crucified. 3 I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. 4 My speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power—5 so that your faith would not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 6 We do speak wisdom, however, among those who are mature—but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 Rather, we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery—a wisdom that has been hidden, which God destined for our glory before the ages. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it—for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written, “Things no eye has seen and no ear has heard, that have not entered the heart of mankind—these things God has prepared for those who love Him. 10 But God revealed these things to us through the Ruach. For the Ruach searches all things—even the depths of God. 11 For who among men knows the things of a man, except the man’s spirit within him? In the same way, no one knows the things of God except the Ruach Elohim. 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God—so we might come to know the things freely given to us by God. 13 These things we also speak—not in words taught by human wisdom but in words taught by the Ruach, explaining the spiritual to the spiritual. 14 Now a natural man does not accept the things of the Ruach Elohim, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But the one who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is discerned by no one. For 16 who has known the mind of ADONAI, that he will instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Messiah.

The Gospel of John: 3
A Pharisee Comes Seeking Truth
1 “Now there was a man, a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jewish people. 2 He came to Yeshua at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You, a teacher, have come from God. For no one can perform these signs which You do unless God is with Him! 3 Yeshua answered him, “Amen, amen I tell you, unless one is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus said to Him. “He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he? 5 Yeshua answered, “Amen, amen I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Ruach is spirit. 7 Do not be surprised that I said to you, ‘You all must be born from above.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone born of the Ruach.
The Father’s Love Revealed
9 How can these things happen?” Nicodemus said. 10 Yeshua answered him, “You’re a teacher of Israel and you do not understand these things? 11 Amen, amen I tell you, We speak about what We know and testify about what We have seen. Yet you all do not receive Our testimony! 12 If you do not believe the earthly things I told you, how will you believe when I tell you about heavenly things? 13 No one has gone up into heaven except the One who came down from heaven—the Son of Man. 14 Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 so that whoever believes in Him may have eternal life! 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. 18 The one who believes in Him is not condemned; but whoever does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not put his trust in the name of the one and only Ben-Elohim. 19 Now this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world and men loved the darkness instead of the light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed. 21 But whoever practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be made known that his deeds have been accomplished in God.
The Living Word, Source of Life
22 Afterwards, Yeshua and His disciples came to the land of Judea. There He was staying with them and immersing. 23 Now John also was immersing at Aenon near Salim, because much water was there and many were coming and being immersed; 24 for John had not yet been thrown into prison. 25 Now an argument came up between John’s disciples and a Judean concerning purification. 26 They came to John and said, “Rabbi, the One who was with you beyond the Jordan, the One you testified about—look, He is immersing, and all are coming to Him! 27 John answered, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven. 28 You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah,’ but rather, ‘I am sent before Him.’ 29 The one who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the best man rejoices when he stands and hears the bridegroom’s voice. So now my joy is complete! 30 He must increase, while I must decrease. 31 The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaks. The One who comes from heaven is above all. 32 And what He has seen and heard, He testifies to that; yet no one receives His testimony. 33 Whoever receives His testimony has certified that God is true. 34 The One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Ruach without limit. 35 The Father loves the Son and has given everything into His hand. 36 He who trusts in the Son has eternal life. He who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

Peter’s 2nd Letter: 1
The Second Letter from Peter
While 1 Peter focuses on believers who are undergoing persecution—an external problem—Peter’s second letter addresses an internal one, namely false teaching. This letter was written shortly before 65 C.E., not long before Peter was killed in Emperor Nero’s persecution of Roman believers. Probably he wrote to the same mostly Gentile believers as in 1 Peter. 2 Peter tells us two things about the false teachers. First, they denied the reality of Yeshua’s return (3:3-4) in judgment. Second, and probably because of this doctrinal error, they led lives of immorality (2:10-20). After all, if Yeshua is never coming back and if there is no final judgment, why not just live as we please? 2 Peter 2:19 describes these false teachers as promising freedom while really promoting a form of slavery. This remains relevant today when we consider that there are many people who seek personal freedom by pursuing such goals as wealth, pleasure, or fame apart from God. Without Him, though, it is all too easy to end up enslaved to our ambitions. But Peter’s second letter reminds us that doctrine and behavior are interconnected. What we believe affects how we live, and how we live can affect what we believe—for sometimes people can change their beliefs to justify an improper lifestyle and, on the other hand, living according to Scripture can strengthen our faith. Peter often encourages his readers to “remember” what he has taught them (1:12-15, 3:1, 5, 8)—a very Jewish concept. In Scripture, when God “remembers” his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Exodus 2:24), it means that He takes action to deliver His people. At the Passover Seder we remember what God has done for our people to encourage us to worship and live for Him. Peter’s call for his readers to “remember” certain things and “not forget” others is a call not just to bring certain things to mind, but to actively live a godly life in the hope of Yeshua’s return. The return of the Lord is an encouragement to living a godly life now. How do we do that? By following what Peter says in his final verse: growing “in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Yeshua the Messiah.”
Greetings
1 Simon Peter, a slave and emissary of Messiah Yeshua, To those who have received a faith equal to ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior, Messiah Yeshua: 2 May grace and shalom be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Yeshua our Lord.
Qualities for Living Forever
3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and virtue. 4 Through these things He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, since you have escaped the corruption that evil desires have brought into the world. 5 Now for this very reason, making every effort, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, patience; and to patience, godliness; 7 and to godliness, brotherly love; and to brotherly love, love. 8 For if these qualities are in you and increasing, they keep you from becoming idle and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. 9 But anyone who lacks these qualities is blind—nearsighted because he has forgotten his cleansing from past sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, make all the more effort to make your calling and election certain—for if you keep doing these things, you will never stumble. 11 For in this way entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Messiah Yeshua, will be richly provided for you. 12 Therefore I intend to keep reminding you of these things, even though you know them and are well-grounded in the truth that you have. 13 I think it right to stir you up with a reminder, as long as I remain alive in this “tent” of a body—14 knowing that my death is soon, as our Lord Yeshua the Messiah has made clear to me. 15 And I will make every effort for you to always remember these things even after my departure.
Distinguishing True Testimony from Tales
16 For we did not follow cleverly concocted tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, a voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory: “This is My Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased! 18 And we ourselves heard this voice come out of heaven, when we were with Him on the holy mountain. 19 Furthermore, we have the reliable prophetic word. You do well by paying attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 Above all understand this: no prophecy of Scripture comes about from a person’s own interpretation. 21 For no prophecy was ever brought forth by human will; rather, people spoke from God as they were moved by the Ruach ha-Kodesh.

2nd Timothy: 1
Paul’s Second Letter to Timothy
Paul wrote 2 Timothy in the 60s, a short time after 1 Timothy, and in the knowledge that he would soon be executed by Rome (4:6). As in other letters, Paul’s own attitude is a model for anyone undergoing persecution or even martyrdom—a situation not common in the West but well known to believers in many other countries. From this letter we learn that Timothy is a third-generation Jewish believer on his mother’s side (1:5; compare Acts 16:1, 3). As in the first letter to Timothy, Paul encourages him to use the gifting God has given him, not giving in to his natural timidity but being bold in the Lord (1:6-8). In the end, Paul focuses not on Timothy’s own gifts and personality, but on what God has done in the Messiah. “I know in whom I have trusted,” Paul says (1:12), Timothy is to guard the good entrusted to him (1:14) so that it can be passed along to others in a kind of chain of proclamation (2:2). Paul describes the life of a believer with powerful images: we are like soldiers who need to endure hardship and obey our superior (2:3-4); we are like athletes in a spiritual contest who need to follow the rules; we are like farmers who work hard to see a harvest of crops. In other words, the believing life takes work and endurance; it takes obedience to the Lord; it takes following the “rules”—by which Paul means not a list of things to do but the basic unshakeable reality of the Good News which alone can bring us to the “finish line” of life. Some of Paul’s admonitions repeat what he said in the first letter: avoid needless controversies (2:14, 23), false teaching (2:17) and ungodly behavior (2:22). But here in 2 Timothy is also found the well-known verses (3:16-17) concerning the Scriptures: “All Scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for restoration, and for training in righteousness, so that the person belonging to God may be capable, fully equipped for every good deed.” The believer’s life is one of fighting for what is right (4:7), enduring hardships (4:5) and suffering (1:8) in the face of continued ungodliness, but above all in looking to God and “the salvation that is in Messiah Yeshua with eternal glory” (2:10).
Greeting
1 Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, according to the promise of life in Messiah Yeshua. 2 To Timothy my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and shalom from God the Father and Messiah Yeshua our Lord!
Stir up God’s Charisma in You
3 I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as my forefathers did, when I continually remember you in my prayers night and day. 4 I remember your tears, and I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy. 5 I recall the genuine faithfulness within you, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure it is within you as well. 6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of timidity but of power and love and self-discipline.
Suffer with Me—for the Good News!
8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but share in suffering for the Good News according to the power of God. 9 He has saved us and called us with a holy calling—not because of our deeds but because of His own purpose and grace. This grace was given to us in Messiah Yeshua before time began, 10 but now has been revealed through the appearing of our Savior Messiah Yeshua. Indeed, He nullified the power of death and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News. 11 For this Good News I was appointed a herald and a emissary and a teacher. 12 For this reason I also am suffering these things—but I am not ashamed, for I know in whom I have trusted and I am convinced He is able to safeguard what I have entrusted to Him until that Day. 13 Keep the standard of sound words you have heard from me, in the faithfulness and love that are in Messiah Yeshua. 14 Guard the good that has been entrusted to you, through the Ruach ha-Kodesh who dwells in us. 15 You are aware that everyone in Asia has turned away from me—including Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16 May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my imprisonment. 17 On the contrary, when he was in Rome he zealously searched for me and found me. 18 May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord in that day! You know very well how much he served in Ephesus.
