If you found a child in the desert, dying of dehydration, what would you do?
Obviously, we would provide them with water and get them medical care and try to help them live.
Knowing they would literally drink ANYTHING handed to them in their condition, would anyone give them household cleaners instead of water, knowing it would poison them?
Of course not.  That would be evil beyond imagination.
No mentally sane person would do such a thing.

And yet, it happens every day in other ways.
The Creator of all things, Yehova, gave His instructions to people. It is all recorded for us to read and study.
But His message has been distorted and corrupted by man.
There are things that Yehova said are forever, for all generations, never-ending, a perpetual covenant.
And man teaches those things are not forever.
Man teaches that God changed His mind.
Scripture says this has never happened and never will happen.
Scripture says the Word never changes, and that Yehova never changes.

Malachi 3:6
“For I am the Lord, I do not change”
Numbers 23:19
Yehova is not a man who lies,
or a son of man who changes his mind!
Hebrews 13:8
Yeshua the Messiah is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Men will then say those “forever things” were given to a specific group of people, and it does not apply to any of us today.
People buy it.
People guzzle that household cleaner.
People drink that poison, without even slowing down to evaluate it.

If we look at the things Yehova said are forever, we see that it is not just for a specific group of people.
He said those things are for the native-born Hebrews, AND for the strangers among them.
He specifically states there is one instruction, and it is for all.

Leviticus 24:22
You shall have the same law for the stranger and for one from your own country; for I am the Lord your Elohim.
Exodus 12:49
One law shall be for the native-born and for the stranger who dwells among you.

If we read the bible starting in the beginning, we can establish some truths, not by our own ideas, but simply because Yehova spoke it.
People learn New Testament teachings from churches without knowing some of these base truths in the Old Testament.
People will say, “Of course God changed everything. He is God.  He can do whatever He wants.”
But scripture says this does not and will not happen.
But most people do not know these things.
Most people are dying of thirst, and don’t even know it.
The traditions of men are handed out to them, and they guzzle this poison as if it will save their lives.
Sadly, it will not.

Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Since you rejected knowledge,
    I will also reject you from being My saints.
Since you forgot the Torah of your God,
    just so I will forget your children.

People thirst for knowledge, but are being given false doctrine instead of living waters.

Messiah came and taught the instructions that Yehova gave to the people.  He did not come to teach a new plan for salvation.  He did not change anything that God had already spoken.

John 7:16
 Yeshua answered, “My teaching is not from Me, but from Him who sent Me. 

John 8:42-44
Yeshua said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for from God I came and now I am here. For I have not come on My own, but He sent Me. ⁴³ Why don’t you understand My speech? Because you’re not able to hear My word! ⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks lies he is just being himself—for he is a liar and the father of lies.

John 12:47-50
⁴⁷ “If anyone hears My words but doesn’t keep them, I do not judge him; for I came to save the world, not to judge the world. ⁴⁸ The one who rejects Me and doesn’t receive My words has a judge; the word I spoke will judge him on the last day. ⁴⁹ For I did not speak on My own, but the Father Himself who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that His commandment is life everlasting. Therefore what I say, I say just as the Father has told Me.”

But our churches teach us that He did change everything.
They teach that Messiah did away with the law, and that we no longer have to follow it.

Here are some things that Messiah said.
Will you listen to Him and live?
Or will you listen to the traditions of men and die of thirst?
Matthew 7:21-23
²¹ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. ²² Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ ²³ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Revelation 22:14-15
¹⁴ Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. ¹⁵ But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

John 14:15
“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”
John 14:21
He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me.
John 15:10
If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

Messiah said these things…
Do you hear His voice?
Do you believe Him?

John 7:14, 27
¹⁴ I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. 
²⁷ My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. ²⁸ And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.“

Do you know Him?
1John 2:3-6
The Test of Knowing Him
³ Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. ⁴ He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. ⁵ But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. ⁶ He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

Why do I write these things?
I’ve learned that people love the promises and blessings in scripture.
I’ve also learned that people do not even know about the warnings in scripture.  Or if they do know about the warnings, they’ve been told they mean something other than what they say.
Or, that the warnings do not apply to them…

I have wiped my slate clean.
I have let go of the things I think I knew, and I study scripture without bias.
1Corinthians 3:18-19
¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks he is wise in this age, let him become a fool so he may become wise.  ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the sight of God.

Messiah gives many harsh warnings, and the consequences of His warnings are horrific.
I write these articles and share them, hoping people will see the warnings in scripture and evaluate them.
Please study and pray about these things!!

Psalm 119:142
Your justice is righteousness forever,
and Your Torah is truth.
