These are the Words
These are the Words
These are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel...
Deuteronomy 1:3 (TLV)
Now Moses spoke to Bnei-Yisrael, according to all Adonai had commanded him for them.
Across the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this Torah saying,
You have been here Long Enough!
Turn, Journey On, and Enter!
I have set the land before you, Enter and Possess the land that Adonai swore to your fathers - to Abraham, Isaac, and to Jacob - to give to them and to their descendants after them.
God has spoken His Word over you, He has placed His Name upon you! But the question I ask today is…
Do you carry His Name!
Do you carry His Name!
Moses shares something so special, He shares a glimpse of the Messiah, because Moses cannot bare the burden of the people. Only G-d can do that. Only G-d can carry your burden, and are you allowing Him to!
Are you taking upon His yoke?
Are you taking upon His yoke?
Are You believing that G-d is carrying your burden, his burden, her burden, their burden… all burdens!
“I spoke to you at that time saying: ‘I am not able to bear the burden of you by myself. Adonai your God has multiplied you—and here you are today, like the stars of the heavens in number.
Moses begins Deuteronomy knowing that he will no longer be leading the children of Israel, and just as we ended in number, G-d had appointed Yeshoshua (Joshua) to lead the children of Israel to the promise land. It is a sign that the G-d of our Salvation would indeed bring His people to the promise land and most importantly to the promise that He would bare upon His shoulders our burdens.
Something that has to be touched on is that Deuteronomy is not about the hope of being delivered, rather,
Deuteronomy is about G-d’s deliverance taking place
Deuteronomy is about G-d’s deliverance taking place
Deuteronomy is in itself the Revelation of the Torah which is why it correlates with the Revelation of Yeshua given to John in the New Testament.
Moses shares the Revelation of Israel’s behavior and how it would affect them if they continued in their ways, and he encourages them in the L-rd to be courages in the face of those that are in the land that G-d promised them. Moses tries to relay to them that what they see now - that the people are in the land of the promise- that is not what he saw. What Moses saw was the vision of G-d on the mountain that the children of Israel will be in the land. Those that gave the bad report, they died.
The ones that did not carry the vision of HaShem, those that did not hear the Song, those that did not behold the testimony.... they did not even see the promise
The ones that did not carry the vision of HaShem, those that did not hear the Song, those that did not behold the testimony.... they did not even see the promise
Instead of turning to the promise, they turned back to the wilderness. And though they tried to turn to the promise, G-d’s Word was made sure to come true, and they that did not listen did not enter.
Today, I share this revelation with you Congregation Rebirth, because These are The Words!
Then I saw another great and wonderful sign in heaven: seven angels who have seven plagues—the last ones, for with them God’s wrath is finished.
And I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had overcome the beast and his image and the number of his name standing by the sea of glass, holding the harps of God.
Here we are again, we see the chaos that has covered the earth, and we also see the judgment of G-d ready to be poured out. The ones that overcome the false testimony and behold the Name of G-d, they, before the judgment of G-d is poured out sing about G-d’s great judgment:
Revelation 15:3–4 (TLV)
“Great and wonderful are Your deeds,
Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot!
Just and true are Your ways,
O King of the nations!
Who shall not fear and glorify Your name,
O Lord?
For You alone are Holy.
All the nations shall come and worship
before You,
for Your righteous acts have been
revealed!”
You see, the ones who overcome standing firm in Faith with their eyes set on the vision, they know that G-d would bring them to Himself and not to an end. And we see this by reading,
Revelation 15:8 (TLV)
No one was able to enter the Temple until the seven angels’ seven plagues were finished.
And the Temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power. No one was able to enter the Temple until the seven angels’ seven plagues were finished. In fact, when the angels begin to pour the first bowl, the plague only comes upon the ones that accepted the mark of the beast and worshipped his image.
The second and third bowl does not affect the people, but it affects the world. The angel of the water shares with us that these judgments have come because of the persecution of G-d’s chosen people.
As shared before, the first stage to Revelation, G-d saves His people by removing them from the earth. It is written that those who do not repent… they stay longer and their tribulation becomes greater! Yet for those that repent and turn, they are wiped off by the judgments of G-d, but they do not die a second death. Following the time of the beast, we have another wave of judgments that will bring this journey to the end. Revelation is like Deuteronomy in that G-d is giving the world an opportunity again to see His Grace!
The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some consider slowness. Rather, He is being patient toward you—not wanting anyone to perish, but for all to come to repentance.
The 4th angel pours out the next bowl and the sun was permitted to scorch people who would curse the Name of G-d - the One who has power over these plagues. But they still did not repent to give Him glory.
Again, the plagues are not meant for those who do repent, the plagues are for those who keep following their vision of who they want G-d to be and not G-d’s vision given for them!
The fifth angel pours his bowl and again, those who do not turn to the promise are the ones that experience the agony. The 6th bowl takes place and the Euphrates River dries up in preparation for the king from the east. And the enemy responds to prepare for the great day of the L-rd of the Armies.
G-d gives another warning to the people: Rev. 16:15
“Behold, I am coming like a thief! How fortunate is the one who stays alert and keeps his clothes on, lest he walk around naked and they see his shamefulness.”
And that is when the Seventh Angel pours out the final bowl into the air, and a loud voice comes out of the Temple from the throne saying, “It is done!”.
This plague is so great and people still will not repent.
Let us go to Revelation 18 for in it we see the beginning of the judgment. Babylon is fallen, the world had become corrupt, the rulers were active in sexual immorality, and many merchants grew off their lust. Moses reminds Israel their that their journey brought them to a place where they saw G-d’s hand over and over again seeing the other nations brought to an end. while there are also some who G-d promised them a place and because of that Israel could not conquer them (Deut. 2:9)
But those who did not submit to G-d, Israel was permitted to conquer them. We know that by reading the events in which some people denied Israel entrance and/or looked to fight against them — G-d fought for Israel.
We read: Deut. 3:18-20
Deuteronomy 3:18–20 (TLV)
“I commanded you at that time, saying, ‘Adonai your God has given you this land to possess it. Ready for battle, you will cross over ahead of your brothers Bnei-Yisrael—all the men of valor.... Then you may return, each man to his possession that I have given you.’
“I commanded Joshua at that time saying, ‘Your eyes have seen all that Adonai your God has done to these two kings. Adonai will do the same to all the kingdoms you are about to cross into. You must not fear them, for it is Adonai your God who fights for you.’
This is G-d’s Word over your life. You have been commanded to be Strong! Your eyes have seen all that Adonai has done! You must not fear them, for Adonai your G-d, He fights for you!
Moses was sharing that he cannot fight for you, but G-d does! Yeshua has taken the burden and has opened the door for you to receive the resurrection and the life through His sacrifice on the tree. It is so that anyone who turns to the Promise away from their sins, who carries on the Testimony of HaShem, who walks according to these Words in perfect Faith that HaShem who was, is, and is to come, has given Himself for you bearing your burdens on the tree shall receive as revealed everlasting life.
After these things, I heard something like the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, shouting:
“Halleluyah!
Salvation and glory and power
belong to our God.
For His judgments are true and just.
For He has judged the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her
whoring,
and has avenged the blood of His servants
caused by her hand.”
And a second time they shouted,
“Halleluyah!
The smoke from her goes up
forever and ever!”
Then the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who is seated on the throne, saying, “Amen! Halleluyah!”
Then a voice came from the throne, saying:
“Praise our God,
all you His servants and
all who fear Him,
both the small and the great!”
Then I heard something like the voice of a great multitude—like the roar of rushing waters or like the rumbling of powerful thunder—saying,
“Halleluyah!
For Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot reigns!
Let us rejoice and be glad
and give the glory to Him!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and His bride has made herself ready,
She was given fine linen to wear,
bright and clean!
For the fine linen is
the righteous deeds of the kedoshim.”
Then the angel tells me, “Write: How fortunate are those who have been invited to the wedding banquet of the Lamb!” He also tells me, “These are the true words of God.”
Then I fell down at his feet and worshiped him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that—for I am only a fellow servant with you and your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Yeshua. Worship God! For the testimony of Yeshua is the Spirit of Prophesy.”
Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The One riding on it is called Faithful and True, and He judges and makes war in righteousness.
The last of Revelation is to be shared next week, but with this let us stand as we proclaim:
HaShem Melech, HaShem Malach, HaShem Yimloch L’Olam Vaed.
The L-rd is king, the L-rd was King, and the L-rd shall be be King forever and ever.
If you have not opened your heart to receive this testimony, today you have heard and today we openly invite you to the front to receive the blessing of HaShem, and if you have received this testimony, I openly invite you up to the front. Come all who here who want to receive the blessing of HaShem. Together we stand, and anyone who remains sitting, last chance to receive the Blessing.
For those of you who have been asking for healing, here now you will be healed. For those of you who have been asking for Mercy, today you will see His Mercy. For those who have been asking for Completeness, Wholeness, Shalom, now you will receive Shalom.
