Yes, Eliyahu, the letter talks about Christians "raising their
voices" - HUH! Christian voices are being silenced all over the
world...they don't move anything anymore. And the Constitution....
HUH!! It's been trodden upon for YEARS....Christian voices have not
touched that... Our very Income Taxes are unconstitutional!, to
mention just one. Thanks for sharing this - and your feelings about
what we should do. I'm in agreement with you.
Eliyahu: The article you mention was in
Tsiyon Messianic Radio Newsletter Vol 3.49. Thanks for
commenting upon it, because your comments allow me to say some
things I've been thinking about generally.
Here's
what's on my mind:
In the
article cited above we quote a Christian writer who was raising the
alarm over serious Constitutional issues regarding President-elect
Obama. That writer laid out 5 crises he saw as threatening America
and the world. Indeed, there is a growing list of crises that we all
are getting more familiar with each day. The writer was calling upon
Christians to pray for the Supreme Court and the government to "do
what's right" in regard to the issues he raised.
Now, time has gone by and we can see the effect of those prayers.
The affect was: absolutely ZERO!
Why?
The answer is simple. Free will. The leaders of the nations of the
world have chosen a course opposed to YHWH and His Messiah and they
are going to follow that course through all the way to the final
showdown. This is their clear choice and the reason why this world
is sinking into chaos. Has not YHWH long ago told us about this
day?: Why have the nations raged and the peoples are meditating
on vanity? The kings of the earth set themselves; yea, the rulers
have plotted together against YHWH and His Anointed, saying, We will
break their bands in two, and throw off their cords from us. He who
sits in the heavens shall laugh; YHWH shall mock at them. Then He
will speak to them in His anger, and He will terrify them in His
wrath. Psalm 2:1-5
The Christians who keep praying for this world to "do what's right"
are totally out of touch with reality, not to mention the stated
will of YHWH. YHWH is not going to save this sinking world system
simply because Christians pray for it to survive! He determined long
ago that He would let this world system reap what it has sown, and
that is exactly what He is now doing. Why do professed believers
keep trying to "make the world a better place" when YHWH says the
world is worthless and is going to be destroyed? Did they never read
verses like this: Don’t love the world, neither the things that
are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love
isn’t in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the
flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t the
Father’s, but is the world’s. The world is passing away with its
lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever. Galatians
6:7-8, 1 Yochanan/1 John 2:15-17
Many professed believers are panicked right now. Their prayers for
the world to improve aren't working and they are afraid of losing
all they have invested in the world. Perhaps what they really should
be praying about is this: why have they been investing so much of
their lives in the world and so little in the Kingdom?
Perhaps they would do better to repent of chasing after the lusts
of the world and instead live to do the Father's Will! If they
really were doing that they would have no reason to panic. He who
dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow
of the Almighty. I will say of YHWH, “He is my refuge and my
fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” Psalm 91:1-2
So many today say that YHWH is their refuge, while at the same
time giving their lives to amassing stocks, bonds, insurance, and a
big bank account as their real security. Should they be surprised to
see YHWH ripping all of that away? No servant can serve two
masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or
else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You aren’t able to
serve God and mammon.” They would do well to hear the word of
Elijah: Elijah came near to all the people, and said, “How long
will you waver between the two sides? If YHWH is God, follow him;
but if Baal, then follow him.” Luke 16:13, 1 Kings 18:21
Do you want to know how to prepare for the financial crisis?
Here is Messiah's advice: Do not keep investing in this world
because this world is doomed. Instead, set your focus beyond this
world to the prize that lies in the world to come. Anything that you
have amassed beyond your family's reasonable needs will soon be lost
as the present financial crisis escalates. Sell it while you can and
invest it in the Kingdom, while it can still do some good. Then you
will have treasure in Heaven to see you through the troubled
days ahead. (See Matthew 6:33, 13:43-46, 19:21, Luke 12:15-34, Heb
12:1-3)
Finally: Here is what I said before and it is worth repeating:
The manifold crisis now falling upon the world are a direct result
of judgment from heaven against the world system. The only
correct response for all true subjects of the Kingdom of Heaven is
to choose not to oppose the will of YHWH and to stand neutral in
regard to the affairs of the kingdoms of mankind. Ultimately all of
the world's governments will be declared null and void, as the only
rightful King and Ruler, Y'shua the Messiah, will take up His reign
over all the earth. To embroil ourselves in the affairs of the
political governments of this world during their final death throes
is to polish the brass on a sinking ship. It is a vain thing. The
faithful remnant of Israel is our nation and the Kingdom of Messiah
is our government. Forever and ever. Amen.
Pray for the deliverance of the righteous and for the glory of
YHWH to be revealed, then you will be praying in concert with
the divine will and purpose.
Blessings to you and yours in Messiah's Name.
Shalom,
Eliyahu ben David
