Project Fund Raiser - Silver Kingdom Shekels Tsiyon needs to raise
funds for our 2nd Exodus Preparation Project. At the same time silver
is available to us at the best buying prices in years. This buying
opportunity is unlikely to last long, but while it lasts we are
taking orders for .999 fine Silver Kingdom Shekels. A small
percentage of each order helps Tsiyon with our fund raiser -
while allowing you to obtain more shekels per order. Now that is a
win-win situation, but you will need to act fast. This order
closing soon!

Question: "What
about believers not in the Greater Exodus?"
We are discussing
Midrash 30 Breaking Away. Specifically the end portion of
the discussion where it talks about those who are believers and are
saved, but do not have the call of the remnant people. Here is the
question: What happens to these folks? They do not keep Sabbath,
they follow the Christian doctrines, so what will be the judgment on
them in the end? Are they forgiven because they thought they were
doing right? Are they doomed because they are not keeping the
commandments? We are looking for your insight on this? We have
many loved ones in this situation that we have shared the message
with, but they do not see the need to change. I'm sure everyone
does, so maybe more folks have this question.
Tsiyon Answer:
"What about believers not in the Greater Exodus?"
Dawn forwarded your
question to me, and I think you're right that others probably have
this same question as well. If I were to sum up your question in one
sentence I think you are asking me:
"What will
happen to saved believers who do not join the Remnant in the
Greater Exodus?"
First, let's
note that the Remnant of Israel and all who join themselves to them,
to go home to Israel as one nation together in the Greater Exodus,
will enjoy many advantages.
Here are a few advantages of inclusion in the
2nd Exodus:
1. The
Remnant fulfills prophecy and are instruments of Yah's glory in
a unique way in these last days. (See
http://tsiyon.org/mission/
)
2. The Remnant follow Messiah in a more complete revelation of
His will in these last days. (Isa 8:16-18, Dan 12:3,10, Rev
14:1-5)
3. The Remnant
enjoy the special blessings that come to those who keep His
Commandments. (Gen 26:3-5, Duet 28:1-14, Ps 94:12, 112:1, Isa
56:2, Neh 1:9, Jn 15:10, 1 Jn 2:3, Rev 22:14)
4. Each one of
the Remnant will find and function in his/her own unique place
in Yah's nation. (Ex 12:41, Ps 110:3)
5. All of the
spiritual gifts in Messiah will thus be manifest, for the
benefit of all, according to Divine Order. (Ps 29:2, 96:9, Joel
2:19-32, Eph 4:11-16)
6. The Remnant
will go out of the doomed nations to a place of safety prepared
ahead of time by Elohim. (Micah 2:12+13, Joel 2:32, Obe 1:15-18,
Luke 21:36, Rev 12:16)
7. What Yah
does with the Remnant will inspire a Great Multitude from all
nations to embrace Messiah. (Acts 15:16-18, Eze 38:23, 39:7,
Rev 7)
Now, what about
believers who do not return with the Remnant? Here is a clue from
Scripture:
I heard another
voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you
have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of
her plagues, for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has
remembered her iniquities." Rev 18:4-5
Here YHWH addresses
"My people" to "come out of her" - that is, out of Babylon the
Great. While all would do well to answer this call right now, in
prophetic context this will be a last call, which will go out near
the end of the Tribulation, just before "Babylon" will be utterly
destroyed in judgment of her vast mountain of sins. Even at that
late date YHWH will still be calling to any of His people still
remaining a part of Babylon to get out. If they don't, they will
share her fate very soon thereafter.
This tells us that there will be reluctant and stubborn believers
right up to the final bell, who may, nevertheless, escape the
judgment of Babylon, even at so late a date as that! This is nothing
but a testimony to the amazing patience, compassion and love of YHWH
for even the most intransigent of believers. Even then He calls them
to repent and He will STILL receive them! However, at that point, if
they do not act immediately, they WILL be destroyed along with
Babylon the Great at her destruction. Personally, I think it foolish
and dangerous indeed for anyone to ignore YHWH in favor of Babylon,
but, everyone must make their own decision for themselves about what
they will do.
On the bright side, during the Tribulation many believers and
unbelievers alike will see that the same God of the Bible, YHWH, has
re-gathered His scattered Remnant out of all the earth, and delivers
them with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm as in days of old.
This will result in a great harvest of believers out of all nations
joining themselves to the then-restored Remnant of Israel. This will
be the greatest harvest of the Earth in history, with a great
multitude responding from every nation. The choice during that time
will be, join the anti-christ or join the Remnant in Messiah - there
will be no middle ground. In preparation for that great harvest of
the earth, YHWH will retain some chosen vessels in each of the
nations, to serve His people and His Kingdom during those days.
Thus the picture I see
for those who do not return with the Remnant in the Second Exodus is
that they may be among those enamored with Babylon and slow to
respond - or - they may be staying behind because YHWH yet has work
for them where they are, during the coming Tribulation. Such ones
will face many hazards in the nations during those days, but may
Yah's will be done in each of our lives.
As for us, while we should do our best to bless everyone, we must
let go of the outcome for any individual, since that outcome will
ultimately be between them and the Most High. If we now grasp the
Remnant message, it is because YHWH is opening that opportunity to
us. Let us focus all we have on fulfilling that call, while praying
for those who don't now see the truth we are seeing - that in due
time they may enter into the fullness of His will for their lives.
If they are His then they too are beloved, and we can rest assured
that He will never leave them in life or death, even as He will
never leave us.
As the prophetic clock ticks down toward the end of the Age, may we
be found walking in His will, and may His name be lifted up in all
the earth.

From Eliyahu
The Divine Will is unstoppable, not only in the grand sweep of Yah's
Purpose, but also in the unerring intricacy of every facet and
detail along the way. This is powerfully manifested to us in the
lives of the Patriarchs, culminating in the story of Joseph - and
beyond, all the way down to our day. Yes, the Remnant today is
caught in the grip of His Will. What may seem to us as mundane
events of daily life punctuated by trials, struggles and suffering
is really so much more than that. All of these experiences are
really sacred strands in the fabric of Yah's Great Plan,
interweaving our very lives with His and with one another in a
living story - His Story - an everlasting testimony and praise to
His Great Name!
Blessings and
Shalom!
Eliyahu ben David
