TRUTH IS UNDER VICIOUS ATTACK – WHAT IS TRUTH?

Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I AM king. To this end I was born, and for this cause I came into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice. Pilate said unto him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and said unto them, I find no fault at all in him. John 18.37-38

 

As I’ve been watching and praying during the attack on Israel by Hamas I realize that it is very difficult to discern the truth as to the events which are occurring in the war and throughout the world during these awful days.

Yeshua said that haSatan has come to steal, kill, and destroy. In my 72 years I’ve never seen such lawlessness throughout the entire world. Wickedness and Evil are rampaging throughout all sectors of society. Civility has ceased. Reason is nowhere to be found. Truth and Justice have been pummeled to dust. Everyone does what they believe is right in their own eyes. None follow God’s Royal Law.

How could Israel been surprised by this latest attack? They have the best security and information gathering operation in the entire world. Yes, it was the last day of Sukkot but it took hours for them to respond. It doesn’t make sense. Many believe this was a false flag operation allowed to happen to draw Russia into the Middle East and start World War Three, Israel’s 9/11.

The governments of this world are not looking out for their constituents but are attempting to establish a One World Order in which they are in complete control. There is nothing they want more than a WAR to eliminate freedom.

These were all conspiracy theories just a decade ago. They are real. Evil is not trying to hide anymore, the wicked are making their plans known. The World Economic Forum publishes everything they plan on doing. Everything is being packaged like it’s for our benefit--but it is for them to take total control over all humanity. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/politics/soros-open-society-behind-the-lefts-support-for-hamas/

The world population is slowly awakening to this. Just look at where America is. Look at the beast government now destroying our country from within. We are at war. The Storm is bearing down upon us. People are beginning to understand this truth.

Pilate asked Yeshua, “What is truth?” He was a hardened politician who had seen the inner workings of the corrupt Roman government. He found no fault in Yeshua.

It is even difficult to find truth within the called out assemblies of Yeshua/Elohim. Everyone has an opinion and understanding of what they believe the Word of God says. Few, I’ve found, who have really studied and allow the WORD to interpret itself.

What is really disturbing is that many will dispute the truth in the word when it is presented to them but they are not able to explain what they believe! I’ve experienced this quite a lot. I know what I believe but when someone I share that with doesn’t agree they cannot convince me differently. They cannot coherently explain their position. So frustrating to me.

What I believe the WORD says is what this blog is about. I didn’t go into my room and pray for 15 minutes, or watch a video for an hour and decide what truth is. It took five years of study, prayer, some basic fasting, and seeking out teachers of the word. Allowing the WORD to interpret itself takes time.

I had many questions and had to find sufficient answers to those questions. A simple example was the Sabbath. I believed it didn’t matter what day was observed as long as a day was observed. Sunday worked fine for me and most of what is called Christianity.

I was challenged on this by those who were beginning to observe Sabbath from a Biblical or Hebrew perspective. They said the Sabbath was on the seventh day, the word itself means 7th, and that is what God wants His people to observe. You may laugh, but it took me about a year to accept it.

The scriptures say in both the Old and New Testaments that our God never changes. Yeshua didn’t come to change the LAW/TORAH/SCRIPTURES but to fulfill them. Yeshua was from the Tribe of Judah, a Jew. He didn’t come to change the written TORAH. He didn’t come to start a new religion. He came to reveal Himself as Messiah/Mashiach.

Read Matthew 5.17-20. Allow that portion to interpret itself.  In no way does it say we are not under that LAW. It does say that the LAW is to be our Code of Conduct and IS to be taught. Our Savior is Messiah, the Torah our code of conduct. In the Air Force we had to obey and follow a Military Code of Conduct. That is what the Torah is to us.

Do you know how many reject Matthew 5.17-20 out of hand! Yet they will tell me they allow the word to interpret itself!

One day while reading Exodus 31.12-17 it hit me like a bolt of lightning! The Sabbath is a sign between Jehovah and His people for all generations—forever! From that time forward I began to share and teach that. The Holy WORD was interpreting itself.

Understanding that small detail opened up the Scriptures in many amazing ways.

Everyone talks about the Mark of the Beast, but here was ELOHIM’s mark on His people! This in turn opens deeper understanding of the Book of Revelation in many ways. Does this inspire you to search the Scriptures and question anything? Seek and you shall find.

What is Truth? Truth is allowing God’s word to interpret itself. To study like a Berean. To question everything you’ve ever been taught in church or been told. READ and SEEK the word.

I do not have all the answers or truths but I do have a difficult time finding those who truly seek truth and allow the WORD to interpret itself. Allowing the WORD to interpret itself means using the entire Bible Old and New Testaments to determine TRUTH. Sadly, many are offended by many of the things I now consider to be truth.

Yeshua called out the leaders of His time for teaching “the vain traditions of men.” This was not the Torah, but it WAS all the vain traditions and laws they had added to Torah! They changed the LAW to allow them control of the people.

We need to hear the Master’s Voice in all things. This current distress in the world is full of LIES and UNTRUTHS. It is difficult to understand the things that are happening in this time of wickedness. Most of what we are told by media and those in control are lies and mistruths designed to HERD us into their sheep pens.

As difficult as it seems God is in CONTROL. Are we discouraged, down hearted, isolated, frustrated, and distraught? I am often all of these—BUT I look up and soldier on. Nobody said it was going to be easy, but if you desire to hear what Elohim is saying open His training manual and hear what He is saying.

We are not looking for trouble in this current distress. Don’t worry. It will eventually come to us. Therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Yeshua haMashiach. 2 Timothy 2.3

The prophets often appealed to God asking why the wicked prosper? The best answer I have heard is from a teacher of the scripture, Dr. Stephen Pidgeon. He believes Elohim has allowed them to prosper because on the DAY OFJUDGMENT He will judge them righteously and tell them they had their entire lives to repent but refused. They chose wrong.

It says in Revelation 20.13-15 that everyone at this Throne judgment will be judged according to their works. They chose wrong. They are cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death. The wages of sin is DEATH. They had their whole life to choose. They chose DEATH.

Psalm 119 says several times that all His judgments are righteous…they truly are. He judges according to what is written. Yeshua always said, “You have it said, but I say unto you, it is written.” This is how he responded to Satan.

We endure one day at a time. I pray all of us will be strengthened and endure to the end. We are currently occupying until He comes! Look up and stand fast and cling to the truth!
