Ignorance of the Word
In this this life we are given choices of blessing and curses and ways to achieve either one through the Word of YHVH yet we overlook how to achieve either one and continue in the curses due to ignorance. If you believe the entire Bible to be true you will find the blessings and curses in the Torah very clearly, what you won’t find is a burdensome law unable to do, Deuteronomy 30:11, Romans 10:5-8(quoting Deuteronomy 30:11-14) tells us its easy and close to our hearts if we choose it and Jesus tells us His yoke is easy and burden is light in Matthew 11:30 referring to Torah.
It is time for us to wake up to the entire of word of our Creator and press into it so we have oil to fill our lamps in these end times and not be left at the door beating, banging, and crying out to the devastation going on in the world surrounding us. We are told repeatedly to not be ignorant of the Scriptures (remember the Apostles only had the “Old Testament” the “New Testament” was not written yet) but instead to lay them on our hearts and to commit them to memory so lets look at what the Bible says about ignorance.
There will be a time here soon where YHVH will no longer overlook us overlooking His written word, remember we are told He doesn’t change and we see this beginning in Genesis with the offerings presented by Cain and Abel, the separation of clean and unclean animals on Noah’s Ark, how he treated Abraham’s faith through obedience and so on. He is no longer going to let us walk in ignorance and we are seeing this in the world now. Joel 2: 28 is happening now and more and more people are seeking the ancient NARROW path. See the following verse on ignorance.
30 The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent,
Acts 17:30
Another issue we have is all these 30,000 plus doctrines and it seems we have new doctrines popping up every week in different churches that help promote ignorance of what was said of old in the Torah. We have doctrines now that just tickle ears and don’t feed us meat so we are left hungry and empty thinking we are full when we are not. Our interpretation is dark and we really need to quit walking in our “gentile” ways and instead get back on the path and walk in the ways of the Father and the Son. Quit hardening your heart to the full gospel!!!
14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. 15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.17 Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. 18 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.
Ephesians 4:14-18
In the following verse we see that we need to quit being conformed to passions of our former ignorance. I’ll level with you I was very ignorant of the word before I heard the TRUMPET blast earlier this year while at work and learned of the blessings of Ephraim and Manessah in which YHVH is blessing the world. Through the revelation of Messiah we are saved and once we do so we see we have a new path to walk that’s actually an old path. In the book of Revelation 12:17 it makes it clear that we are to keep the COMMANDS of YHVH and hold to the testimony of Jesus Christ or in Hebrew Yeshua. We are told to think clearly and to set our hope fully on the grace of Messiah and to be set-apart or holy due to it.
13 Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
1 Peter 1:13-16
Our actions will silence the ignorant, what’s one major flaw of any “New Testament” church? We can’t silence anyone because our works don’t align with the Bible even atheist help the homeless and needy, the world sees us as hypocrites who go to church on Sunday then go back and merge into the world and do as they do the other six days of the week. We are to be free through the commands of YHVH and that means walk in HIS ways because they teach you how to walk in freedom and how to be a servant to the Most High. Since changing my ways to the Torah I’ve had people see a difference in my actions and have their interest peeked, they’re seeing bright light where darkness and dim light used to prevail; they’re seeing true spiritual freedom not anger, rage, and coldness as they had used to see.
15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. 16 Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants[d] of God.
1 Peter 2:15-16
Look at what the Apostle Paul wrote in chapter 10 of Romans that people have zeal for God but don’t have knowledge of Him or His ways and seek to establish their own righteousness and in verse 4 we see if the word end is translated correctly it should read aim or purpose not end. It can be translated end but in the correct context it shouldn’t be end there. In other words Christ exalted the law in how He walked it out so we could learn from His walk.
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 For Christ is the aim of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Romans 10:1-4
These verse from Paul we struggle with in our western mindset especially verse 36, we fail to realize YHVH used the Hebrews and the Hebrew mindset to write the scriptures and think we are teach them in our western Roman/Babylonian/Greek mindset. We also forget that YHVH establishes order and purpose to everything not chaos. Again, Americans, Europeans, or any other culture group that’s not Hebrew weren’t used to write the scriptures we must listen to our Creator on this and learn His intended mindset.
36 Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached? 37 If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord. 38 If anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized. 39 So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But all things should be done decently and in order.
1 Corinthians 14:36-40
Remember YHVH took time to wake you up so don’t push the word at those still asleep instead be a gentle light for them to see; be like Jesus/Yeshua and let the light exude from you and draw them in to where YHVH can wake them up. Also, don’t fret over those who have already passed away and dwell on their lives, if they were of Messiah we will see them again.
13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord,[d] that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
1 Thessalonians 4:13
We will end with this, knowledge comes from YHVH and it says so in HIS word especially in the first five books of His word. So it’s time for us to quit ignoring those books and saying the laws and right-rulings are done away with and for us to fully grasp what He has said from the beginning that He desires us to be SET-APART to Him a nation of priests and a HOLY or SET-APART NATION as described in Exodus 19:5-6, not to be like the rest of the world and right now we are in exile. To do this we must dive in and gain understanding, we must learn of the blessings bestowed on Ephraim and Manasseh and how they pertain to what our Messiah said about His lost sheep in John 10:14-16; in those verses He doesn’t speak of the Jews but of the lost 10 tribes of Israel that will be supernaturally woken up in these times we are living in now and will walk in the ways of Yeshua who walked out Torah perfectly for one who was also in exile.
Man of Lawlessness Study
This study will help discover who the anti-messiah is and he’s been in our minds and hearts since the days of Yeshua (you think of Him as Jesus). There are multiple scriptures and we will break them down and find out who this imposter is.
Matthew 5:17-20
Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets, I did not come to destroy but to complete.
For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.
Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens.
For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees you shall by no means enter into the reigns of the heavens.
