The foundation of righteousness and justice is truth. Without the truth, a proper definition of truth, and truth being the basis for all decision making of what is right and wrong, we will not have a society or a world that can sustain life and peace. There is only one truth, and that is the truth as outlined in the Word of Elohim as spoken by Him and His Anointed One.
John 1:1-14. Light and darkness is a metaphor for truth and lies. To live in the light is to live in the truth of His Word, to walk in his ways, and to have His life tabernacled within us. Yeshua said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.” To live in any other way or “truth” is to live in darkness, deception, curses and death.
Example: The Roman Catholic Mass and the Protestant Communion Service. Which one is right - or are they both wrong?
Well the truth is, they both convey a wrong message when measured against the Word and give people a false sense of security, well being and salvation. Both the Catholic Mass and the Protestant Communion takes all of Christianity down the same rabbit hole of confusion, untruth and lies. Taking communion is sacrosanct to most Christians and Pentecostals. Sacrosanct means “most sacred or holy”. That means it is regarded as too important or valuable to be interfered with. When something is treated as holy, it is therefore immune from criticism or violation. I know of some Pentecostal Christians who take communion every day, it is so important to them. But what if “their truth” doesn’t match God’s truth? What then?
Communion removes and takes the place of Pesach and the Unleavened Bread celebrations, and reinforces Easter and its pagan roots. It’s called “syncretism.” Syncretism is the amalgamation of different religions. Roman Catholicism and theologians use it to justify their positions on Easter, Christmas and Sunday worship. It’s called “sanctifying” or making holy that which isn’t. If you want to get pagans or unbelievers into your church, use their pagan traditions, worship practices, dates and music (or anything else you want to embrace), then put a Biblical story to it - that makes it acceptable, or “sanctifies” it and gets people to believe in God and get “saved”. The fact that they have violated the truth of God’s unchangeable Word, His commands, Feasts and whole Torah doesn’t matter to them. That’s living in the darkness of deception, and only judgement awaits.
Send In The Whistleblowers
That’s when Y’Hovah sends His prophetic voices, His Whistleblowers, into the arena to fight for Him.
The definition of whistleblower:
“A person who informs on a person or organisation regarded as engaging in an unlawful or immoral activity.”
"A whistleblower is any individual who provides the right information to the right people. Stated differently, lawful whistleblowing occurs when an individual provides information that they reasonably believe evidences wrongdoing to an authorized recipient."
"You're a whistleblower if you're a worker and you report certain types of wrongdoing. This will usually be something you've seen at work - though not always. The wrongdoing you disclose must be in the public interest. This means it must affect others, for example the general public.
Even though whisleblowers are protected by law, in reality there is no safe place for a whisleblower. You are under political and public scrutiny to the nth degree and powerfully ostracised by those you are shining the light of truth on. The prophets of old and the apostles of Yeshua were like the whistleblowers of today, but in a spiritual and Kingdom way. It is done on behalf of the Almighty and truth, and for the well-being of the whole world. They were the trumpeters, the watchmen who were used of Elohim to expose deception, lies, sin, false doctrine, idolatry, worship of false gods and wicked and culpable behaviour. Matthew 23:13, 23:34.
The Father is looking for those who will stand true to the Word and who will go forth as Truth Tellers, Whistleblowers for His Word to a dying world and a deceived religious system.
Matthew 9:35-38; Luke 10:1-3, 10:16. John 17:12-23.
Christianity has an obligation to declare the truth of the Word, unchanged, unadulterated, in its pure form to all mankind. This was the same mandate given to Israel and the priesthood. Both have failed. As Yeshua said, pray the Father to raise up messengers, Truth Tellers and to send them out into the harvest field of this world in which we live.
Messianic Messengers Of Truth
Christianity has a “Duty of Care” to all those who come under their roof and are part of their religious system. It is responsible before Elohim for providing “Safe Passage” for all of its followers into the Kingdom of Elohim. But they have failed in their duty of care and are culpable. The blind lead the blind and both will fall into the ditch. Yeshua tells the religious leaders that they are spiritually and practically responsible, they are accountable before Elohim. Matthew 15:7-14. What comes out of the mouth in teaching is judged.
Are you teaching as doctrines the commandments of men? Yeshua said if you are not teaching the commandments of Elohim, your worship is in vain, you are not Y’Hovah’s planting in His Kingdom, and you will be uprooted. We, and all others who call themselves Messianic followers of Elohim and Yeshua, have the same duty of care to those around them and to those to whom we are sent.
Deuteronomy 22:8. “When you build a new house, you are to make a guardrail for your roof, so that you do not bring the guilt of blood on your house if anyone falls from it.”
People who come into our care for fellowship, learning, friendship and spiritual guidance become our responsibility as to their spiritual welfare, what they are taught, and how they are treated. James 3:1-6. How careful we need to be in the use of our tongue, what we say and how we say it, especially those who teach or give leadership to others. Yet it is a calling of great blessing and privilege to be used of Elohim in this way. Y’Hovah is still in the business of raising up apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, teachers, elders or overseers and many other gifts and services to the Body of Yeshua entrusted to us. The message is: don’t misuse it or abuse the privilege.
Y’Hovah will always be raising up and sending out His prophetic voices and caring shepherds to bring the lost, wandering and injured sheep back into His fold. Yeshua sent the twelve, and He sent the seventy, and He still says pray to the Father to keep sending them out. Father never gives up on warning and sending out His servants, but "He goes to His own first, but His own never received Him." John 1:11-13.
I still believe no one comes to the Son unless the Father draws them. Christians have heard the call of the Father to the Son. Our duty is to go to them first and proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom as taught by Yeshua and the apostles.
Yeshua was always controversial, everywhere He went. In the Temple, synagogues, streets and every town. Paul and Barnabas had the same experience. Acts 13:40-49, 14:1-2. Yeshua also said "they hated Me, and they will hate you." He also said, "I send you out as sheep amongst the wolves." Jeremiah reveals the pain of rejection to his caring and compassionate words, warning of coming loss and of judgement. Jeremiah 7:22-29; 26:1-9. 35:14-17; 44:1-8.
Is it easy to get the truth of the Word out in its pure form to those who have disobeyed for so long? No, it's not, but He will keep sending out people and giving opportunities until He returns. Mark 6:1-7. We must always remember; "it’s not by might, nor by power, but by My Ruach," says Y’Hovah. The Kingdom is not established by evangelistic crusades and city wide revivals if they're not of Elohim. The plank in Christianity's eyes is obscuring the truth of Elohim’s Word and the Apostolic Teachings. As we see in the life of Yeshua and the apostles, many received the word and many rejected it. Those whose hearts were opened by the Ruach responded and found salvation. Multitudes of others were committed to and blinded by a leader and system that will be judged by the Kingdom from Heaven.
If we want to be part of the family of Elohim, then we must hear God’s word and do it. Luke 8:19-21; James 1:22-25.
“But be sure you live out the message and do not merely listen to it and so deceive yourselves. 23 For if someone merely listens to the message and does not live it out, he is like someone who gazes at his own face in a mirror. 24 For he gazes at himself and then goes out and immediately forgets what sort of person he was. 25 But the one who peers into the perfect law of liberty and fixes his attention there, and does not become a forgetful listener but one who lives it out – he will be blessed in what he does.”
