1 Peter 4:12 – Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 14. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 15. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. 16. However, if you suffer as a follower of Yahuah through His son Yahusha, do not be ashamed, but praise Yahuah that you are of The way. 17. For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the truth of Yahuah?
“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
November 5th, 2017 a 26 year-old murderer named Devin Kelly walked into a small rural Baptist church and killed 26 decent men, women and children.
Know for certain these things:
- It will happen again, maybe at your church
- Death, disease, war – all are accelerating and about to explode
- Judgement begins in the church – maybe yours
- Evil will flourish and the lost will revel in it, worldwide
- We are beyond the birth pangs and well into the birth
- The murderer was demon-driven and many more will follow
- This was within the perfect Will of Yahuah
I do not have words to discuss what happened. Satan basically wiped out an entire church body. He walked in, and using the mind of the murderer, slaughtered old women, small toddlers, young teenage girls, boys and men.
It was about 11:30AM Central time, so the music was probably over and someone was likely teaching from the pulpit. The Pastor, I think, was out of town that day. Some details I do not know because I do not need to know. What I do know is that the time is upon us. Satan is the Prince of this world, and evil will grow much more prevalent than it already is.
You will notice people who have traditionally been at least polite to you will, without warning or cause, become openly hostile to you. Enmity and bitter strife will prevail among the lost. They will delight in harming you. You better believe that.
Write this down: Among the “christians”, you will find your most virulent adversaries. Pay attention, brother. Most of the “christians” are not saved. They think they are. They cling to “I believe in Jesus” as their assurance of salvation, but the wise know that “even the demons believe, and tremble”.
Belief in Jesus does NOT equal salvation, obviously. All demons believe in Jesus, and hell is their waiting future.
Righteousness Is Established By Obedience
14What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
18But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
20You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless ? 21Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,”e and he was called God’s friend. 24You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
So then, what we do establishes righteousness, if we do righteous things. Since sin is defined in scripture as “transgression of the Law“, righteousness will be obedience to the law.
David, the man after Yahuah’s own heart, states in Psalm 1:
1 – Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,2 – but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 – That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.4 – Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5 – Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners (law breakers – transgressors of the law) in the assembly of the righteous.
6 – For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
Who are the “righteous”? Those who keep the commands of Yahuah.
1 John 3:7 – “Little children, let no man deceive you: he that practices righteousness is righteous, just as Yahusha is righteous“. And what did Yahusha do? “I only do the will of my Father“. “If you keep my commandments, you shall live within my love; even as I have kept my Fathers’ commandments, and abide in His love.”
So our relationship with the Lord God Almighty Yahuah is dependent on salvation through faith in Yahusha and proof of our faith by our subsequent obedience to the commands of Yahuha. The commands of Yahusha do not change our requirement to obey the commands of Yahuah, because in John 14:28 Yahusha stated that Yahuah is greater than Him (Yahusha/Jesus). Yahusha serves Yahuah, He does not nullify the commands of Yahuah.
I stress this constantly because we will be persecuted by the satan, who comes to do ONE THING:
Kill YOU. Specifically.
Revelation 12:17 – Satan Comes Specifically To Destroy One Class of People
“Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring – those who obey Yahuah’s commandments and hold to the testimony of Yahusha“.
This dual requirement, salvation and obedience, is The Way, which Paul was arrested for, sentenced and killed.
So you see, salvation + obedience is VITAL. If one continues to live in sin, does he actually follow the Messiah? If course not. If one follows Messiach Yahusha, one will submit to the commands of Yahusha. That’s plain and simple. If one claims to follow Yahusha but continues to transgress the Law, then that man is a liar and there is no Truth in him.
The satan comes specifically to destroy one single class of people – those who are of The Way, because we are the only threat he has. We are the cherished children of the Great Yahuah. We are His obedient sons and daughters, and precious in His eyes.
Wrapping this up, I want to remind you that there will be more mass murder, and more churches slaughtered. The hatred for us will escalate, it will broaden. It will not be long before even the court system turns to persecute us. Our Holy Bible will be banned from print. Bibles will be confiscated and even a bounty paid for by the satanic government. Soon it will turn into a paid bounty on both bibles and the Torah faithful.
He wants to make an example out of us for the world to see. Yet we shall not ALL sleep, right? But in the twinkling of an eye…
As it said in Revelation above, the satan comes here specifically to make war against everyone like you, someone who reads this site and believes this teaching. Because only religious nutcase fanatic truth-seeking followers of the Almighty Yahuah will be interested in actually obeying the God they claim is actually REAL. Freaks. And only religious nutjob freakazoid holy rollers like YOU and me actually love this information.
Its awesome to be wanted 🙂 To be hated for loving Yahuah is great. And Yahuah is watching!! It truly is “all good” for those who follow Him.
People are changing. The lost will turn on you. They will not be very friendly for much longer. You better arm yourself as Yahusha commands. I recently had a total stranger threaten to “go get a gun and kill you (me)”. He was cussing my family and making all kinds of threats, and I had never seen this dude in my life and still do not know who he was. But there was a great calm in my spirit. I almost laughed at him because I know what I am capable of, and I was also well armed (concealed).
I’m glad that I did not hurt him. Really blessed by it. Honestly, it was beautiful and I praise Yahuah for walking me through it. He ripped the mask off of some wicked people for many to see. I praise Him for His magnificent blessing. My whole family was blessed, and my marriage was blessed.
What an odd way of blessing me.
I gathered my crew and we left. My wife thought I was going to terminate the guy and was astounded that I did not, but she was quite happy about that. She has seen me confront bad men before. And of course I did the best possible thing by leaving. If someone does not want you around, leave. Plus, I did not want to expose my children to the horrific results of a close-quarters gunfight.
The Word of Yahuah tells us that our own family members will turn us in to be killed. What makes you think that your own son or daughter will not serve satan by pointing the servants of the satan at you? King David, beloved of Yahuah, saw his own son attempt to destroy him. Yet Yahuah is faithful. The Holy Spirit of Yahuah spoke to me that very day, saying “Vengeance is mine. I will repay.” Praise Him. I can move on and who knows – maybe some of the lost will become saved and begin The Way.
Maybe. It could happen. I hope it does, and I will always pray.
Mark 13:9 – “You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues. On account of me you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them. 10And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. 11Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
12“Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. 13Everyone will hate you because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
One final note. Death of the human body, yours for example, is a good thing for the man or woman who is saved and obedient. You should rejoice at the prospect of physically dying. Death is nothing to fear, because physical death frees us to go home.
Still, we fiercely fight for life because that is what Yahuah expects of us. He wants us to value life, not to the point of seeking immortality, but simply to value the gift He gave us. If you are ever confronted with physical death and if you know you are saved, be glad. Smile. Look your accuser in the eye and tell him “Jesus offers you eternal life if you will call on His name and follow Him. He loves you.”
That might be the only truth your accuser ever hears in his entire life.
Yahuah loves you, and His love in me loves you through me. His Word is all real. Trust Him.

Good article. Yet no christian is saved. Only obedient Israel are. Just saying. Be blessed bro and have a restful Shabbat. Love ya, Gil
Gil, I can neither agree nor disagree with you on your comment, because when I read the word, my heart says that only the obedient who follow Messiah will enter into heaven. To me, that is plain. But… when a person first comes to salvation, that is by the will of Yahuah, and by His Will only and that person is saved at that instant. Saved. Going to Heaven. So salvation begins with the Will of Yahuah and next the election of the saved. After salvation, obedience comes into play, and the saved must turn to obedience, as you know from scripture, because if we reject His commands, we prove that we do not truly worship Him and did not truly accept Yahusha as Savior. Look how long it took you and me. And for sure I am absolutely certain that I was saved long before Torah. But I knew that there was something more than mere salvation. I did not know what that “something more” was, but in my spirit, I know that I… Read more »
Once again Jerry, an excellent article. I will be passing this on. Much shalom to you and your household. Kate 💜
Thank you, Kate. I love your very kind encouragement.
