Oh mercy! I forgot! Shabbat Shalom! Greetings in Yahshua our Lord and Savior! May His peace, grace, and Spirit be with you! Yahshua I invite You into my day, Your will be done as Father’s will be done as You both are in agreement. Guide me in Your word as I explore the topic of Death. In Your name, Yahshua/Yahushua/Jesus/Yeshua I ask this. Amen.
I know I have touch upon this in one of my blogs, I believe my co-worker put me on that path. Well, I am looking for clarification now of what I believed based on the bible. I could have sworn I started this study once before…like you would know or not…I’ll BRB! I am back; and I found it I started this Feb. 12th, 2012! Little copy and paste… ~*~ Viola ~*~
“Father Yahweh I invite You into my day knowing it is through Your son that I am even worthy to approach You at all. Your will be done in all that is relative to me in my little realm of reality. Please give me the understanding and allow me to hear what You say about the subject on my heart. Amen.”
The topic is Death and Life after. What says Father Yahweh; I will be using The Scripture 1998 translation for my study and backing up my findings with King James:
First, I must acknowledge that it is only with His blessings that one understands. Job 32:8 But truly it is the spirit in man and the breath of the Almighty that gives him understanding. Mattithyahu 11:25-30
25 At that time Yahushua responding, said, “I thank You, Father, Master of the heavens and the earth, because You have hidden these matters from cleaver and learned ones and have revealed them to babes.” 26 “Yea, Father, because so it was well pleasing in Your sight. 27 “All have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and to whom the Son wishes to reveal Him. 28”Come to Me, all you who labour and are burdened, and I shall give you rest. 29 “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble in heart, and you shall find rest for your beings.” 30”For My yoke is gentle and my burden is light.”
(KJV)Job 32:8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
Per Genesis, we were made in His image…male and female. He tell us He made Adam out of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils breath of life. And the man became a living being.
(KJV) Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
(KJV) Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(T.S. 1998) Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the favourable gift of Elohim is everlasting life in Messiah Yahushua our Master.
The wages of sin is death; the price of sin is death. UNLESS! We accept Messiah Yahushua as our Master and ask Him to cover our sins with His precious blood. His blood was shed to save those who believe and have faith. We must walk the walk and talk the talk.
Yeshayahu 59:1 Look, the hand of Yahweh has not become too short to save, nor His ear too heavy to hear. 2 But your crookedness have separated you from your Elohim. And your sins have hidden His face from you, from hearing you. (Isaiah 59:1-2)
Yehezqel 18:4 “See, all beings are Mine, the being of the father as well as the being of the son is Mine. The being that is sinning shall die.”
Ahh! That explains quite a bit. Whenever I choose to step out from the covering and go my own way, I separate from Yahushua and cut myself off from Father Yahweh. So it isn’t Him who is allowing awful things to happen in my life it is me going off to do my own thing and sinning that brings it on myself! Who am I; how dare I blame Father for my bad choices? I choose to let people anger me. I give them the power to steal my peace. Stupid me!!! Death we should not fear! Our standing with Father Yahweh we should fear. Once we are dead there is no changing that standing!!!
Ezekiel 18:20-32 20The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 21But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? 24But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. 25Yet ye say, The way of the LORD is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? Are not your ways unequal? 26When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. 27Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. 28Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 29Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the LORD is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? 30Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. 31Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 32For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
That explains Death. Now what happens when we die? Do we go to heaven? My belief is we do not. If we were meant for heaven we would have been created angel not man or woman. My sister’s disagree, as do many people I know. What does the bible say, which is what God, says:
John 3
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: [2] The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. [3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. [4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? [5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. [8] The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. [9] Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? [10] Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? [11] Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. [12] If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? [13] And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. [14] And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: [15] That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. [16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. [17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [19] And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. [20] For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. [21] But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. [22] After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. [23] And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. [24] For John was not yet cast into prison. [25] Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. [26] And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him. [27] John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. [28] Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. [29] He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. [30] He must increase, but I must decrease. [31] He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. [32] And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. [33] He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. [34] For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. [35] The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. [36] He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Come on [13] And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Even Moses, Noah, and David are not in Heaven…Jesus / Yahushua said so…what makes people think that is where they are going when they die? Yahushua came preaching the Kingdom of God.
Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 25: 31-32 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: [32] And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Now correct me if I am wrong…He did say foundation…right?
I’m just saying…
Yes and how about the thief that was hanging on the cross along side Jesus / Yahushua whom Jesus / Yahushua promised would be in heaven with Him? That thought occurred to me too! What does scripture say: Luke 23:42 And he said to Yahshua, “Master, remember me when You come into Your reign.” 43 And Yahushua said to him, “Truly, I say to you today, you shall be with Me in Paradise.” It is all about punctuation and interpretation…may I point you to the previous verse Luke 23:42.
Matthew 22:30 “For in the resurrection they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of Elohim in heaven.” 31 “And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by Elohim, saying, 32 ‘I am the Elohim of Abraham, and the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob? Elohim is not the Elohim of the dead, but of the living.”
This passage is the response Yahushua made to the Sadducees about the seven brothers who married one woman. She married one brother, he died, and she married the next brother until he died, she was wife to all seven brothers and then she herself died. In the resurrection who is her husband. According to scripture, Yahushua’s spoken word, none. Mark 12:18-27 states the same.
Mark 12:25”For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as messengers in the heavens.
We will be as the angels…not that we become angels. The word He used is “like”. We are sexless neither male nor female. We are lower than the angels are and that is why Yahweh has them look over us. However, Yahushua is above, angel and humankind alike. Hebrews tells us this. Hebrews tells us to hold fast to our faith and encourage each other daily for we have become partakes of Messiah if we hold fast the beginning of our trust firm to the end. Hebrews also tells us how to enter into that rest. We are to be obedient.
Hebrew 4:9So there remains a Sabbath-keeping for the people of Elohim. 10For the one, having entered into His rest, has himself rested from his own works, as Elohim rested from His own. 11Let us therefore do our utmost to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience. 12For the Word of Elohim is living, and working, and sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through even to the dividing of being and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all are naked and laid bare before the eyes of Him with whom is our account. 14Therefore, since we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens Yahushua the Son of Elohim, let us hold fast our confession. 15For we do not has a High Priest unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who was tried in all respects as we are, apart from sin. 16Therefore, let us come boldly to the throne of favour, in order to receive compassion, and find favour for timely help.
1 Timothy 4:7But refuse profane and old wives’ fables,, and exercise yourself rather to reverence. 8For bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but reverence is profitable for all, having promise of the present of life, and of that which is to come. 9Trustworthy is the word, and worthy of all acceptance. 10 It is for this that we laboue and struggle, because we trust in the living Elohim, who is the Savior of all men, particularly of those who believe.
2 Thessalonians 1:2Favour to you and peace from Elohim our Father and the Master Yahushua Messiah. 3We ought to give thanks to Elohim always for you, brothers, as it is proper, because your belief grows exceedingly, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing. 4so that we ourselves boast of you among the assemblies of Elohim for your endurance and belief in all your persecution and afflictions which you are bearing, 5clear evidence of the righteous judgment of Elohim, in order for you to be counted worthy of the reign of Elohim, for which you also suffer, 6since Elohim shall rightly repay with afflictions those who afflict you, 7and to give you who are afflicted rest with us when the Master Yahushua is revealed from heaven with His might messengers, 8in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know Elohim, and on those who do not obey the Good News of our Master Yahushua Messiah, 9who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Master and from the esteem of His strength, 10when He comes to be esteemed in His set-apart ones and to be admired among all those who believe in that Day, because our witness to you was believed. 11To this end we always pray for you that our Elohim would count you worthy of this calling, and complete all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of belief with power, 12so that the Name of our Master Yahushua Messiah is esteemed in you, and you in Him, according to the favour of our Elohim and the master Yahushua Messiah.
Well first, I must say thank you to Paul, Silvanus, and Timotheus for their letter and for praying for all the set-apart ones even before we were born. Gives me a sense of well being and peace knowing I was prayed for before I even existed. Then again, Father Elohim knows exactly who is who, who is to come, and how He is going to use every single one of us. HalleluYah! Glory be to our Father in heaven whose name is Yahweh who is the alpha and the omega the one and only true Elohim! Hallelu-Yah! Yah bless all the set-apart ones, I do trust that the Master is trustworthy and is guarding me from the wicked one. I believe He directs my heart into the love of Elohim and into the endurance for Messiah. We are instructed to withdraw from brethren who walk disorderly and not according to the traditions, which were given us in His word the bible. I look back at the people in my life and see that there are very few I am yoked with. I still love my friends and family, I just withdraw from them as not to stumble. All I can say is that if you believe in Yahweh and Yahushua then you walk in love. You show that love and give comfort here and there and to me it is that giving of “you” that is one’s works. Love covers a multitude of sin. The greatest of these is love…Elohim is love! So if someone says professes they are a Christian or a servant of God and after observing them or spend time with them and you find yourself asking, “Where’s the love?” Then you know to withdraw from them. Granted no one is perfect but Yahushua, but you know us by our works.
This study has confirmed my belief. When we die, we are asleep until judgment day…if you have scripture that states otherwise…please share. Thank you.
The favour of our Master Yahushua Messiah be with you all. Amen.
