Oh World Issue 1. Repent – Turn to Elohim for Help

Although people can do good, many choose evil, being proud, liars, haters of goodness and righteousness. Their decisions and actions reveal a love for evil, violence, destruction and even the murder of innocent babies. To satisfy their depraved desires, the unrighteous disrespect the Supreme Authority, whom many call God and deny His very existence. However, nature and the cosmos show that there is a First and Eternal Reality which exists without a beginning, is of infinite magnitude, omniscient, and can never end. Ancient Hebrew Scriptures call that First Reality Elohim; properly understood as the Eternal Power Over All Realities.

Before space and the universe existed, the first thing Elohim did was to be the Father Who then willed His First Word (Devar/Logos) to be His First and Uniquely Born Son from His Own Divine Essence of Whom the One Spirit of Elohim emanates. So, Elohim the Father is the First Reality and Power Over All, while His First-Born Son is the Firstborn Reality and All in all with the One Spirit of Elohim. By His Son and His Spirit, Elohim planned and created space with celestial creatures and earth with terrestrial creatures, including mankind, for endless fulfilling life.

Over time, a league of celestial beings rebelled and eventually led mankind to corruption, hence the origin of our earthly evils. Yet, Elohim’s plan includes everything needed to accomplish His divine purpose to salvage all beneficent beings to be filled by His Holy (Set Apart/Sanctified) Spirit for endless existence by covenant and to eliminate whatever and whoever is harmful. As planned, around 2000 years ago, Elohim sent His Son to earth by His Spirit, born as a male child via a virgin Judean woman. The child was named Yehoshua, which means Salvation or Savior; commonly called Jesus.

Per the Bible, Yehoshua taught "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of Elohim has come near. Repent and believe the Good News” (Mark. 1:15); the news that Elohim governs the universe. Yehoshua did many amazing virtuous miracles which proved He was Messiah (Christ) so that whoever would believe in Him (trust and obey Him) would not be eliminated but be saved. All who repented and believed as He required, were baptized in water, and later by the Holy Spirit to be saved. He taught them to recognize each other and to live in the unity of the goodness of Elohim.

To set the covenant as planned, Yehoshua allowed some Jews and Gentiles, who hated Him, to arrest and kill Him during Passover season. Yet, to their dismay, Yehoshua came back to life after three days, then united and equipped His best students to be ministers of the Good News to all nations. Afterwards the Savior returned to Elohim to one day return to earth as Sovereign of all. So, to be saved, we must do the following:

1) Repent - Stop violating Elohim’s law (sinning): Know and revere Elohim over all else, do not serve idols, do not misuse His Name; and celebrate His Sabbath Day. Honor our parents, do not kill; do not be unfaithful, do not steal, do not lie; and do not think of taking what is not yours. Keep all sexual acts within true marriage as Yehoshua taught and dress modestly to avoid tempting others to sin. For, sinning brings misery and death to our lives and the world. - * Stay repented by evaluating how we behave and think privately and socially every day in view of Elohim’s requirements. Ask Elohim for pardon for any sin discovered. Apologize to anyone offended by what we did or did not do. Practice being mindful of showing gratitude to those who do good.

2) Believe the Good News: Get and develop faith (fact-based trust) that Elohim exists, rules the universe, offers pardon and infinite life to all who repent, by His Son Yehoshua. The Bible tells of one woman who believed so much that she poured precious perfume ointment on Yehoshua in His honor before He was arrested.

3) Get Baptized: After you truly repent and believe, get immersed (baptized) in water for pardon of your sins and to receive spiritual baptism by Yehoshua ’s Name.

4) Unite to do Good: Unite with other disciples to pray for each other to receive healing and wholeness of our faults and weaknesses – in every way. Help each other grow with the understanding that we all have faults to overcome and need each other who are of Yehoshua. This humble and sincere mindset will create transparency, unity in Elohim, healing, and miraculous good works by His Spirit.

Again, our sinful choices and actions are filling the world with misery and death. Yet, Elohim sent His Uniquely Born Son, Yehoshua the Messiah, to save the repentant from the eradication of all evil and fill them with His renewing Spirit forever. For, whatever and whoever persists in dishonoring Elohim, and harming or infringing on the innocent will be forever eradicated.  Thus, to be saved, we must repent, believe, be baptized, and unite as Yehoshua taught.  For more information, please contact us; thank you.

Societies have tried and others continue trying to redefine reality to accommodate their personal immoral preferences or weaknesses. Shamelessly, some even promote their evil propensities as moral rights. They exhibit little to no concern for so many innocent people - especially children being harmed by their lifestyles. Much of the diseases in circulation are caused by inordinate behaviors. The fact is, besides harming others, what they are doing is showing that they have deluded themselves and have seared their own consciences. Really, the deplorable and harmful results of anti-life behavior and propaganda cannot be hidden.

Thankfully, the dynamics of reality will not change. Whatever is good will remain good and prosper while evil will be harmful and self-destruct. The blessings of doing good will continue to happen and the pain and destruction from doing evil will come. For, everything that exists, space and all it contains, were designed and formed by and in the very First Reality Who Alone has no beginning and will never end. This sentient Being of infinite magnitude by Whom and in Whom the entire cosmos exists and is sustained Is the One Who defines reality and original morality. That true morality is summarized in Luke 6:31, “And as you would that people should do to you, do you also to them likewise.” No matter what any individual or the world may do to change that standard is absolutely futile, blatantly wrong, and self-destructive.

Thus, not surprisingly, efforts to redefine what men and women are, to undermine productive and safe modes of behavior in order to promote non-productive harmful lifestyles, to deny the value and rights of children in the womb, and to pervert the minds of developing children are RUINING this world, not improving it in any way. There is nothing admirable, good, honorable, pure, or even safe being promoted by most of society now. Rather, they mostly promote impropriety, narcissism, obscenities of all sorts, pride, violence, and the list goes on.

That being the case, is it any mystery why societies, in fact the world is full of deceit, infidelity, hatred of goodness and purity, fears, and violence? The current year is 2022 and the most advanced nations, after so many years of education and history, are still conducting and promoting useless and devastating wars? Of course! For, when civilian and government alike work so relentlessly to degrade mankind to the degree it has, that is to be expected. All these evils are results of people not adhering to that original morality to one degree or another. Until the true righteousness of the original morality is implemented, the societies of the world will sink deeper in its self-imposed deception, confusion, fears, death, and misery.

It does not need to be so. Please, before it's too late, return to the wholesome morality that is aligned with empirical evidence, kindness, justice, mercy, and genuine love. Return, to the one unfailing morality which was established so long ago for the benefit, flawless advancement, and elevation of all mankind by that very First Reality and Power Over All some call God. The evils of the past were caused by failure to adhere to that original morality.

Then, what outcome should the present world expect for entirely rejecting that effectual morality to adopt behaviors and ideologies that are verifiably destroying the world? It can expect the death and destruction that the original morality was established to prevent. However, that does not have to include you. For, you can choose to return to the true morality of honor, joy, purpose, and perpetuity established by the Eternal Power Over All - not by deceitful self-serving destructive groups.

Moments ago, a member of the congregation recounted how he contemplated the life cycle of the butterfly after concluding his nightly prayer. He remembered recently teaching school students how a butterfly has a life cycle in phases starting as a fertilized egg, afterwards a larva, next undergoes a metamorphosis in a chrysalis, and finally emerges as a beautiful butterfly.

A question came to his mind "which of these phases is unimportant in the life cycle of the butterfly?" The answer is each one of the phases are important.

Then another reflection came to mind, every natural child that was born underwent a cycle also consisting of phases. Every natural born child was conceived in a fertilized egg which is the first phase, then other phases, all the way to the birthing transition.

Then having laid down in his bed, a resounding question echoed in his mind "which phase of a child's life cycle is unimportant?" The answer as if by a somber teary quite voice in his mind "each phase of a child's life cycle is important - from conception to birth - each one."

Contemplating on this while in bed, he offered more prayers for the not yet born children, and slept. He recounted this to encourage the offering of prayers for the conceived but not yet Born children. Please pray for the not yet born children. Pray that those in whom they are conceived will be loving to them or at least be merciful to do what is good for the child.
