Shalom beloved Mishpocha (Family) in YAH, As we approach the festival of Purim, with its theme of hiddenness and disguise, let us uncover the truth in an era of deception and sometime subtle pretence. That we are living in one of the most potentially perilous times in history can’t be overstated, not only in the physical or natural sense, but also spiritually. One major example of a lurking danger of this sort is the ecumenical movement, which took a mighty leap forward with the advent of the Charismatic movement (circa 1967), and has been relentless ever since. In fact, in nowadays strong alliances are being cemented and have become quite the ‘norm’ in various “Christian” circles. If you have not already seen the following link I encourage you to view it. standupforthetruth/2014/02/pope-to-copeland-catholics-and-charismatics-must-spiritually-unite/ Yahushua warned us that in the latter days, “many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold” (Matthew 24:11-12). Paul adds to this one of the most sobering statements: “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Mashiach. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness…” (2 Corinthians 11:13-15). The above usage of “Mashiach” is in reference to the anointing of Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit, or the Spirit of the Messiah). “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons” (1 Timothy 4:1). One of those doctrines is “universal unity” or “catholicism”. In accordance with this creed, mankind must unite under the banner of humanism. In order to succeed in achieving this end, liberal acceptance of a plethora of enticing ideals must be embraced in the name of ‘love’ for the sake of ‘good works’. What is the purpose of these so called good works? They are the mortar for holding together the structure of the one world religious order. Unification of this sort is influenced by the spirit of Nimrod, the hunter who gathered all the members of the family of man in order to build a counterfeit kingdom with a hierarchal “tower”. This spirit’s proponent was true to his name, as Nimrod means “we will rebel”. Against whom was this rebellion directed? Obviously it was against YHVH’s kingdom. Yahushua really hit the nail on the head, when He said to the religious leaders: Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness” (Matthew 23:28). What is lawlessness? “Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him” (1 John 3:4-6). Disregard of the Creator’s statutes, laws, and ordinances is a direct affront to Him and certainly evidences “not knowing Him”. All efforts to unite the world religions spell compromise with lawlessness, including the most recent one which lauds the “Holy Spirit” (Ruach HaKodesh) as the common unifying factor. This is not unlike the deeds performed by Constantine, who created the ‘universal church’ through incorporating pagan practices. Many governments today are passing laws, backed up by penalties including imprisonment, which are directly contrary to YHVH’s Laws. Approval (even if tacit) of such lawlessness brings on YHVH’s judgments of “death”. Not only are the “kings” granting approval to such diabolical legislation and conduct, but also the “priesthood/religious” leaders. Thus for the sake of unity in the religious world, lawlessness and a flagrant compromise of holiness are being accepted and put to practice. At the end of Romans chapter 1, Paul describes the acts of lawlessness. At the conclusion of his list he issues a warning, elaborating on what brings on YHVH’s judgments: “…knowing the righteous judgment of Elohim, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them” (Romans 1:32). How true is the prophet’s statement: ’Woe to the rebellious children,’ says YHVH, ‘who take counsel, but not of Me, and who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin’”! (Isaiah 30:1). The call of the watchman is to return and go up to Zion (both natural and spiritual). But we will not get there unless we “remember the Law (Torah) of Moses, My servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments” (Malachi 4:4). Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach Purim unto you and your precious family in Yahushua HaMashiach, Shulamit and Ephrayim from: israelitereturn
