HOLY DAY SABBATH

"And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.” Matthew 24:20-22. Jesus said that we should pray that our flight will not occur on a Sabbath when the Great Tribulation time arrives. Why? Because the Sabbath must still be observed as a holy day thousands of years after Jesus was crucified. This should tell us that whoever teaches that the ten commandments is abolished after Jesus was crucified will heavily pay the price for teaching lies and deceiving people. Readers, why do you think Jesus told us to pray that our flight will not occur during the winter or on the Sabbath when the Great Tribulation time comes? Is it because the Sabbath is a holy day that we all must observe, Jews and Gentiles, or because the Sabbath points to Jesus' death on the cross? If you say that the “Sabbath” points to Jesus’ death, don't we know that Jesus was already crucified a long time ago, April 3, AD 33. And Protestant Christians have promptly abolished all His commandments for a very long time also. And the Great Tribulation time will come in the future that we don't know when. And Jesus said, when He was still alive on earth, “And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath”. And so Bro, stop confusing people by inferring that the Sabbath mentioned in Matthew 24:20-22 refers to the Sabbath before April 3, AD 33. The Sabbath mentioned in Matthew 24:20-22 refers to the future Sabbath that has not arrived yet , and not past Sabbaths, because the Great Tribulation time mentioned in Matthew 24:20-22 has not come yet. Jesus asked us to pray to God that the future Great Tribulation days do not come on the Sabbaths so we can observe the Sabbath and keep it Holy. In fact, I believe that the Sabbath will still be observed in Heaven. You don’t have to believe me because salvation is not for everyone, Bro. "Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day [is] the Sabbath of the LORD your God. [In it] you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who [is] within your gates. For [in] six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it." Exodus 20:9-11
"Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made." Genesis 2:3.
The Bible says that God blessed and sanctified the seventh day (the Sabbath). God blessed the Seventh-day (Sabbath) and set it apart from all the other days of the week as a holy day. Would I argue with God about the Sabbath day? NO! Why would I? Why should I? Common sense tells me that I should not argue, debate, or ask my Pastor or the other Bible teachers to help me find ways to circumvent God’s laws or commandments if I want to live with Him and get His blessings. He gave His laws or commandments to us for us to observe so we can receive His blessings, and not for us to disregard or ignore them without thinking! We agree that our Father in Heaven knows best what is good for us, right? So, why should we argue with Him and say, no, I want to keep Sunday or Tuesday or Friday holy? Jesus Himself observed the Sabbath. God declares the Sabbath a holy day.
If we don’t like His Sabbath, no problem. Go and find another religion, or invent our new exciting religion, but please don’t mess up with Jesus’ Sabbath! The only exception to the Sabbath law is when we do good that is absolutely necessary on the Sabbath, such as when we help someone who is sick or needs help. Other than that, do nothing in violation of God's Sabbath! Sabbath keepers don’t even go out to buy their hamburgers for lunch or dinner on the Sabbath. They don’t even cook on the Sabbath if they can avoid it. We do our work on the weekdays, and Friday is a special preparation day where we make preparations for the holy Sabbath. Why? Because He said so. If we want to live with Him, we do what He tells us to do. We must always allow Him to govern our lives if we want to live with Him. If we want to live with Lucifer, we can do anything that we want to do because he is not under the law. God never forces us to live with Him, never!
“Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it, you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. (Exodus 20:9-11). God made the Sabbath holy, blessed it, and made it sacred! Do I ask my Preacher or my Bible teachers to help me find ways to circumvent His orders? NO, NO, AND AGAIN NO! That would be stupid if I do so.
Some of us may argue that every day is the same. They say that every day is the same, but in God’s eyes, every day is not the same! God blessed the seventh day; He wants us to keep the Sabbath holy, and not Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. Do we understand the difference? No, because we have hardened our hearts like King Pharaoh of ancient Egypt. God has blinded our eyes so that we can no longer see, understand, and repent! We see God's words as hyperbole or spam.
Every day may be the same in our eyes, but not in the eyes of God! The Bible says that it is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In fact, we are to observe the Sabbath until the end of time and beyond. So, what choice do we have if we want to live with Him? He is the sole owner of the Kingdom of God, not Paul, Peter, John, James, or any of the other disciples or apostles. Do we understand the importance of this fact that I have presented?
In Matthew 24:20 Jesus said, “But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath." Why did Jesus tell us to avoid our flight in the winter, or on a Sabbath? Because the Sabbath is a holy day. And whom are we running away from during the flight? We are running away from the people who hate the Sabbath. We will be hated by the Sabbath haters. And we will be persecuted by enemies of the Sabbath.
Matthew 24:20 is a prophecy that tells us of what will occur at the end of time - The Great Tribulation. And what will occur at the end of time is not pleasant. Jesus wants us to know in advance before it occurs. The devil knows that he has no more time left. It's finished! His pawnshop is bankrupt. Jesus had defended us. So, what can Satan do? What is his plan? I believe Lucifer's plan is to hunt and destroy God's chosen people to prevent them from entering the small gate and narrow road that takes them straight to the Kingdom of God. And his victims are the Sabbath law-keepers. Jesus asked the Sabbath-keepers to pray that their flight will not occur during their Holy Sabbath, or during the freezing winter to avoid the extreme hardship that they have never seen before, or will ever see again. This period is mentioned in the Bible as the Great Tribulation.
Who are the people who will be pursuing the Sabbath-keepers? I believe they are the ones whose hearts are filled with jealousy and hatred because they cannot find the narrow road with the small gate that leads to the Kingdom of God. They who have hardened their hearts and closed their eyes. John 12:40 says, "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn--and I would heal them."
These people don't know God. They don't know the God of Jacob, the God of Noah, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Daniel, and the God of all the Prophets. The only god that they know is the god whom they have invented and created for themselves! And that god is slowly strangling them to death!
Lord, please take care of your people during the Great Tribulation Time. We will always love you!

LEGAL OFFER FROM JESUS

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” John 10:27-28 Today I am going to discuss a legal offer that Jesus offered to us, Jews and Gentiles when He was on earth thousands of years ago. If the Jews want to accept His offer, they are very welcome. If the Gentiles want to accept His offer, they are also welcome. If Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, or even Satan worshippers want to take up His offer, they are very welcome. Jesus’ offer is open to everyone. I encourage all to accept Jesus’ offer because He is true and faithful to His words. But remember, and don’t forget, that His offer in John 10:27-28 is a legal offer. It is a contract. I want to caution every reader, however, to read His offer carefully in order to avoid confusion or misunderstanding. This offer is a legal offer, and if there are readers who are not familiar with the terms of a contra...

PASTOR-ATTORNEY

Now as Paul thus made his defense before King Agrippa, Festus, a Roman procurator said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad!" Acts 26:24. I believe that all Christian Pastors should be trained as lawyers or Attorneys-at-Law. Why? Because the Bible is a law book. It has cases, laws, regulations, commandments, rules, etc. You can learn about civil law and cases in law libraries called reporters or law reports. Reading the Bible is not like reading a novel. The Bible is a collection of the history of law since Adam and Eve. The Bible is a law book! Many Christians are confused when they read the Bible, especially the writings of the apostle Paul. Festus told Paul that much learning was driving Paul mad! Do you know why he said that? Because Paul's legal arguments were not easy to understand and often confusing. Utter confusion, I believe, was the primary reason why we now have over 45,000 Christian denominations or groups globa...

CONFUSED?

Today I am going to write a few more words in case some of my readers are still not fully clear about what Jesus said when He said in Matthew 10:28, "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Why did Jesus say that we should fear a God that can kill the soul, and not kill the body only? Do you know why? Most Christians don’t know the answer. They think that once we are dead we are done, finished. Once we are punished and burned in hell to ashes, there is nothing more to it, right? No, you are wrong! Why? Because the holy spirit tells me that while killing our body doesn’t take much work, a simple lethal IV infusion or high voltage electric current of an electric chair will kill our body, killing our soul is a different story. Only God can kill our soul. Our soul is resistant to death! Our souls can last forever when God destroys them in hell. That's why the Bible talks about ...

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE

Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world . A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all [who are] in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:13-16. Paul, on the other hand, contradicts Jesus and said, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. ” Ephesians 2:8-9. Paul said put your light under a basket. Don't glorify God with our good works. But in James 2:17 we read,  "Thus also faith by itself if it does not have works, is dead. " And so, who determines the work that we must do? Preachers, pastors, Biblica...

JUDAISM vs. CHRISTIANITY

Today I am going to write about a topic that I have not written about before. What drives me to write on this subject is not new. It’s about the shocking number of Christian denominations  that many of my readers have already heard or read on the Internet - over 45,000 worldwide. And there is only one Jesus. Is this good or bad? Why are there so many Christian groups or denominations in the world? I found the answer in Judaism and Christianity. There are 4 branches of Judaism - Orthodox Judaism, Reform Judaism, Conservative Judaism, and Reconstructionist Judaism. And there are over 45,000 Christian denominations. Let us look back at the history of Judaism and Christianity. Both the Jews and the Christians believe in one God. The Jews called their God Yahweh, and the Christians called their God Jesus Christ. They are the same God. However, the Jews and the Christians do not worship the same God. The Jews worship Yahweh, but the Christians worship the apostle Paul, aka Saul. The Je...

KNOW YOUR HACKERS

Today I want to write about hackers. These hackers can be Pagan hackers or Christian hackers. They go to church every week, or they stay home hacking us every day of the week. There is a high demand for hackers. And good hackers should not have great difficulties finding jobs, private or public. First, I want you to know that you should never use any of your CREDIT CARDS to buy anything ONLINE Never! ATM cards okay. Hackers are spying and watching you by using the apps that you have installed on your computer. They can know your user names and passwords through your apps. The fewer apps you have on your computer the better. They will give you a lot of problems when you use your CREDIT CARDS to purchase anything online. If you have to purchase anything online you should use your DEBIT CARDS instead. Be aware that hackers can intercept or interrupt you anytime they want when you do online transactions. They may ask for your driver's license, etcetera. IGNORE them! You might think tha...

SABBATH

"And pray that your flight may not be in the winter or on the Sabbath . For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.” Matthew 24:20-22. Jesus said that we should pray that our flight will not occur on a Sabbath when the Great Tribulation time arrives. Why ? Because the Sabbath must still be observed as a holy day thousands of years later after Jesus was crucified. This should tell us that whoever teaches that the ten commandments is abolished after Jesus was crucified will heavily pay the price for teaching lies and deceiving people. The Sabbath commandment to keep it holy was never abolished by God. It is still valid until Jesus returns, and beyond. Readers, why do you think Jesus told us to pray that our flight will not occur during the winter or on the Sabbath when...

ALL ABOUT THE HEART

Readers, do you know that when Jesus or Yahweh returns He will not only judge us by our deeds, but He will judge us first by the intention behind our deeds? Do we know that? Do you know that? If our intention is bad, God will send us straight to hell, no detour!  “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every intent of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the LORD said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” Genesis 6:5-8. God looked at the intent of their hearts. They were evil. And God drowned them all! Whether you believe that Jesus had died for us on the cross or not makes no difference. If the intent of our hearts is bad, we go straight to hell, body ...

THE TRIAD OF SALVATION

Today I want to discuss the Triad of Salvation - work, grace, and salvation . Work is our part, grace is God’s part, and salvation is our part together - God working tog ether with us in a partnership to help us do His will. We must be in partnership with God if we want to be saved. Why? Because no one can be saved walking alone. Jesus said that only those who endure till the end will be saved. The only way that we can endure till the end is when we walk in a partnership with Him, as the Prophet Enoch did. He walked hand-in-hand with God until the finish line. Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 7:21) What is the will of the Father? Jesus explained in the following text. "And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This [is] the first commandment.” (Mar...
