I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: Yisra'el has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the gentiles has come in.
When the full (complete) number of gentiles that are going to be redeemed have been, from that point forward a gentile will not be able to turn to Yeshuwah. "Many" will not accept that we are in the Tribulation Period until the "shiqquwtsiym mshomem" have come.
Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' will enter Mamlahket haShamayim, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in Shamayim. Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your Name, and in Your Name drive out shediym and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, `I never knew you. Away from Me, you ra`iym!'
At that time - mid-Tribulation - those "many" will realize it, and a cry will ring out -- "We really are in the Tribulation," 'Here's the Bridegroom! Come out to meet Him!' but it will be too late for the "many."
At that time Mamlahket haShamayim will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the Bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The Bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. AT MIDNIGHT the cry rang out: 'Here's the Bridegroom! Come out to meet Him!' Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.' They replied, 'No, there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.' But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the Bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with Him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!' But He replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.' Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
Ten Virgins - all repentant - virgin denotes a form of purity or abstinence.
Lamp - symbolic of light (da`ath of 'Elohiym)
Oil is symbolic of the Ruach haQodesh. On the part of the unwise virgins, there was an apathetic indifference, and an unawareness that they were insufficient. The wise virgins went to extra trouble to insure that they had an abundant supply of oil (the Ruach haQodesh). All of the virgins were asleep.
At Midnight- In the middle of the darkest night, in the precise middle of the Tribulation, at the blackest point of the blackest night, the "shiqquwtsiym mshomem," the trinity of the false messiah, false prophet and haSatan, setting themselves up in the Bayith as 'Elohiym, will precipitate the cry "Here's the Bridegroom, come out to meet Him."
There is a period of time from when the cry goes forth, until the Bridegroom arrives.
The door was shut for those unprepared. I have viewed this for years as an abrupt deadline to unbelievers. Ruach haQodesh showed me that it is a gradual decline, and we are already in the advanced stages of that decline. When was the last time a church had a revival with life-changing results? In the last years, how many people have been saved off the streets from a life of chatta'ah and converted to a life of qadoshiym in a church? How many backsliders have been reclaimed in a church? Do you hear of revival anywhere in America, in any church, of any denomination, that is impacting people to leave a life of chatta'ah and live a life of qadoshiym?
What caused the Judean rejection? YHWH did not turn from the Judeans until they had rejected YHWH. We are also tuning 'Elohiym out. He can no longer get their attention. They have so occupied their minds with the things of this world, that they can't hear Him when He calls.
The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the Word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful.
No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both 'Elohiym and money.
Society is voraciously feeding on filth:
Sex, Pornography, Homosexuality, Child molestation, Drugs, Alcohol, Tobacco
Don't you know that you yourselves are Bayith 'Elohiym and that Ruach ha'Elohiym lives in you? If anyone destroys Bayith 'Elohiym, 'Elohiym will destroy him; for Bayith 'Elohiym is qadoshiym, and you are that Bayith.
Greed - We all are disgusted with our political leadership because of their lack of moral fiber and character. The sad thing is that they are re-elected because they are a reflection of the people.
Gang violence, Racial strife, Hatred
Whoever does not love does not know 'Elohiym, because 'Elohiym is love.
If you fall into one or more of these categories, repent, NOW. The only way to insure your salvation is to remain diligent at all times to what it takes to be acceptable to 'Elohiym.
He went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him tame'. For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man tame'."
Our society is gorging itself on chatta'ah, and the decadence of our society has invaded the churches;
Because of the increase of 'avon, the love of most will grow cold...
What caused the Yhuwdiy rejection of 'Elohiym? They had the most articulate set of religious laws in the history of mankind, so they did not have to listen to YHWH; no obedience, just sacrifice. In their rebellious hearts, they completely missed the essence of 'Elohiym. 'Elohiym did not give us the history of the Yhuwdim in order for us to look down in self-righteous arrogance! He gave us the history of the Yhuwdim with their respective successes and failures in order for us to apply that knowledge to our own lives. In most of those failures a corrupt clergy within organized religion misled the people.
Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of 'Elohiym: sternness to those who fell, but checed to you, provided that you continue in His checed. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for 'Elohiym is able to graft them in again. After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree! I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: Yisra'el has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of gentiles has come in. And so all Yisra'el will be saved, as it is written: "The Deliverer will come from Tsiyown; He will turn risha` away from Ya'aqob. And this is My Briyth with them when I take away their chatta'ah."
The xtian churches have exactly duplicated the Yhuwdiy weaknesses through a weak and corrupt clergy within organized religion and can only expect the identical results from the essential rejection of Yeshuwah haMashiyach.
But you say that you are not like them. You take pride in the fact that you are "not under law but under grace." Then you establish an implied unwritten law:
1. Pay your tithe. (Tithing is not even mentioned in the Briyth Chadashah writings!)
2. Attend church services.
3. Get along with the church administration. (This "law" gives organized religion the power of excommunication.)
4. Read your bible.
You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess chay l`owlam. These are the Scriptures that testify about Me, yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
5. Pray.
Then we feel pretty good about ourselves. We do not desire any more of 'Elohiym. We are even afraid He might require something that we do not want to surrender. We are religious enough.
If you do not have a desire for more of Yeshuwah, more light,
THEN YOU ALREADY HAVE MORE LIGHT THAN YOU ARE WALKING IN!
If you have light (da`ath of 'Elohiym) that you are not walking in, you are in a fallen state, and headed for Sh'owl!
If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by ha'Emeth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Yeshuwah, His Son, purifies us from all chatta'ah.
If we do not walk in the light, as He is in the light, we do not have fellowship with one another, and the Blood of Yeshuwah, His Son, does not purify us from all chatta'ah. People in organized religion today, under christianity, are very similar to people in organized religion 2,000 years ago under Yhuwdah. There is simply less observance of the Torah. Yeshuwah is the life (Yochanan 14:6). Without Yeshuwah, organized religions are but dead bodies without life.
In xtian organized religion today (2,000 years), tradition has been a powerful force in retaining participants. The evolution of our society with constant new information is forcing a review and an analysis of everything old, and has radically eroded tradition as a stabilizing force. With no life, and with tradition minimized, xtian organized religion is rapidly losing participants. You say: "We are experiencing growth on the mission fields and in the countries formerly behind the iron curtain."
Woe to you, rabbis of the Torah and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of Sh'owl as you are.
