Burdened by our Yearning:
A Study in Habakkuk
By: Pastor Jonathan Williams

Many times within Scripture we are given advanced learning methods which the average "human" reading scripture will not be able to recognize. The validity in this is simply that most folks won't see things unless they have been made to look at things more steadily.
This is shown in Scripture many times, and without YHWH's setting us aside and giving us instruction, we remain lost, confused, and just plain doubtful of our direction. As we should doubt without YHWH.
 
We will turn first to the Book of Habakkuk. Now, understand that many so-called "scholars" have positioned themselves into thinking and dispelling that Habakukk was either self-proclaimed as a prophet, or that much of his writings are forged together with that of a much later living individual. Neither is true.
 
The fact is that many non-canonical books, (even "Bel and the Dragon"), shed much needed light on his existance and authority. He lived during the initial uprising of the Chaldeans (Babylonians using a geographical namesake), and about 30 years prior to the ultimate captivity put upon the Israelites by Babylon. But still there is the point where it is said that he visited Daniel in the lion's den whilst being brought there by an angel. One can find this in "Bel and the Dragon", a book that I have only recently found some validity within it's confines and now can gladly recommend to those seeking furtherance of inspiration. Having this point, and the nature of Habakkuk's visit explained, we can also draw a detail on the fact that he was likely a son of the Tribe of Levi. Being that he was a prophet of that time it is likely in this respect and that he probably was a musician of sorts (Levi again) considering the 3rd chapter in Habakkuk, last verse especially (when it speaks of stringed instruments as you will see).
The name itself, Habakkuk, has NO duel meanings when it comes to the language used in it's origin. The hebrew term here does not refer to a "fragrance", that would make it purely "Akkadian" in nature which would signify a Canaanite ancestry. This is certainly not the case at all.
The very name "Habakkuk" means literally "to wrestle with". In this sense perhaps ALL newcomers to their faith could utilize this as a nickname. For we all have issues we cannot understand, and become "bull-headed" as Israelites when we feel we stand in front of a wall to high to climb or plow through.
Known as a "minor prophet", the author of this book saw a vile, cruel world he lived in, and DID question YHWH. This is paramount to learn, because we sometimes forget that he is our Father, and He does reveal much. But at the same time he reveals things to us in His time and manner, which may not always seem so fitting in our desperation (or what we feel is our desperation).
 
Look to the first few verses here:
Chapter 1:
1The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
 2 O YHWH, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
 3Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
 4Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
  A few things to take into consideration in the verses listed above. We see that the phrase is used, " wrong judgement proceedeth". Now understand people that this is not a hasty or pestilent mark on the prophet's speaking or his questioning. The judgement here is two-fold.
The first thing is that it imposes the thought that the "wicked are in leadership" (shown in verse 4 clearly) and that this is a hindurance because of their non-caring attitude toward the righteous. The "wrong judgement" is certainly not a call against believers here, Israelites who understand the message, however it still must be covered in that the Israelites have and will constantly question certain things such as these. Why?
Because YHWH expects us to raise a question when we feel it is vital, but the issue runs deeper when we place blame on him for not providing the precise answers we THINK we deserve.
It is asked as well in these first few verses of this particular book as to why our Israelite people must gaze upon iniquity, transgression, and things bent with evil. The answer is quite simple, and to recognize the evil manifestation, one must have a good idea of what a "spirit of evil" would be. You take the world we presently live in. Politicians and bankers have all of the power, and they are filled to the brim with their evil. They care nothing for YHWH and His laws and statutes. Even those who make that "all too common claim" of being a "Christian" are liars shown by their works! Deceivers at their core. Utilization of media nowadays helps them of course, as if it did not don't you think the next law the politicos would suggest would be to castrate the abilities of media moguls? Of course, which once again shows the definite nature of what we are looking at here. There cannot be a wrong in questioning these things, but many of these questions we raise only serve to waste our precious time, when YHWH has already provided the answer to the vast majority of them.
Chaper 1 cont....
5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.
7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
11 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.
12 Art thou not from everlasting, O YHWH my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O YHWH, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty YHWH, thou hast established them for correction.
13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
15 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
 
 
So, again, to question wasn't the point as much is "what was the pertainence of his questioning?" Is this really being shown as doubt? No, because YHWH answered with the issues of prophecy toward what was to come shortly for Israel, and what would eventually happen to Babylonians. Their wrath was matched by YHWH's anger toward them for what was even yet to happen with the Israelites, and their forthcoming captivity. Although it does give place to YHWH letting the prophet know here that the time would "not tary".
 
Chapter 2
1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2 And YHWH answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
5 Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9 Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
13 Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of YHWH, as the waters cover the sea.
15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
16 Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of YHWH's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
17 For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
18 What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
19 Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
20 But YHWH is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.

 
I also wish to point out that the prophecy concerning the Babylonians points very heavily toward that which is still yet to come in many ways. When chapter 1 speaks of the "dwelling places that belong not to the chaldeans", we note that the many countries today where Israelites now reside are FULL of these abominable Babylonians. Wicked governments at the helm of the power of Jewry (Edomite wickedness).
 
But reading onward into chapter 3, we will see that these questions were basically an attempt by the prophet, with YHWH shining through him, to assist the needy Israelites in Identifying the problems set before them. Then and now.
 
Chapter 3
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
4 And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
6 He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?
9 Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
10 The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.
11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.
12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.
13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.
14 Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
15 Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters.
16 When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

 
As we clearly see in the 3rd and final chapter of Habakkuk, the prophet maintains his faith, and his questions have been answered in the best possible manner...through his abundant faith in YHWH! His singing of praises in this chapter reads like one of King David's Psalms. And what a testament of faith that is!
So in reading these, we can think upon and remember the facts of questioning when concerning obtaining wisdom, and relish the future we behold for our people, as well as the enemy.
YHWH Bless!!!

Думать наперед 

Псалом Давыдов 126.1: « Аще не Господь созиждет дом, всуе трудишася зиждущии;аще не Господь сохранит град,всуе бдя стрегии». 

  Я уже и не знаю, сколько времени меня величали названиями и теми грандиозными ярлыками как всем известное "расист" и т.п. Хорошо, я думаю, что это было время для меня, чтобы принять эту точку зрения и ответить согласно моим знанию и вере.

  Я сам не стыжусь того, чтобы быть христианином. Я не стыжусь того, чтобы быть Белым, хотя в эти дни значение этого слова оболгано «руками писцов и фарисеев». И я конечно не стыжусь того, чтобы быть Белым христианином. Если это кажется Вам «расистским» пусть будет так. Это кажется забавным называть «расистами» тех, кто хотел следовать за Исусом, но отклонять Его учение, которое, как мы знаем, не испытывает недостатка в расовых основаниях.

  Но, правда, что уродливое изображение нас, Белых христианских сторонников Исуса Христа, не создано фактом, мы - христиане. В мире есть приблизительно 38-40 тысяч различных христианских конфессий, таким образом еще одна, даже со «сверхъестественным» учением (каким многие видят наше благовестие истинного Израиля) не создавало бы проблемы. Но проблема, что есть некоторые пробелые нехристианские (и, к сожалению, даже некоторые так называемые «христианские»), группы, желающие установить превосходство Белой Расы их собственными средствами.

  Братья и сестры, „Белая Революция - единственное решение!“ - и подобные лозунги не помогли ничему и никому кроме наших врагов и, если быть немного саркастическим, тем, кто производит футболки с такими лозунгами.

  Я думаю, что очерствление их сердец и отказ принятия Исуса как нашего Господа – это отказ от знания, необходимого для понятия корней и причин проблемы, о которой все – и мы и они знают.

  История, без сомнения, повторяет себя. Многие в Иерусалиме не понимали, что Исус прибыл не для того, чтобы взять корону, не как Царь Израиля. Они хотели царство „здесь и сейчас“, но все находится в руках нашего Всемогущего Отца. То же самое может быть сказано о современных иудео христианах, не знающих ничего о пророчествах или имеющих только очень тусклое представление о них. Пока не пришло все, что пророчилось, не будет никаких изменений. Но наши люди все еще хотят этого «здесь и сейчас», независимо ни от чего. Это - то, почему они делают отчаянные шаги (хотя мы понимаем их причины), и совершают глупые поступки.

  Что касается меня, и истинных христиан, мы не должны вооружаться и продолжать бессмысленное смертельное веселье только, чтобы показать, что мы – «борцы сопротивления». Нет никакой «Белой революции», и без Христа не будет ничего. Я вижу лучшую альтернативу чем проведение остальной части жизни в адской бездне тюремной системы для того, чтобы попробовать единоличное ниспровержение системы. «Аще не Господь созиждет дом, всуе трудишася зиждущии;» (Пс.126)

  Нельзя сказать христиане должны и будут идти в мясорубку жидовской тирании как овцы на бойню. Разоружение американских граждан и людей во всем мире - признак для тех, кто имеет глаза, чтобы видеть, что мы только вступили в Великий Финал - добро пожаловать в глобальный концентрационный лагерь! Нет, нет ... никакой свободолюбец, никакой христианин не должен оставить свои права и свободы без сопротивления, напротив, мы обязаны защитить наши привилегии и семьи. Но это - ЗАЩИТА, а не НАРУШЕНИЕ. Я думаю, что это лучше всего иллюстрировано знакомым символом гремучей змеи на флаге эры Гражданской войны, и лозунгом «Не наступай на меня!», значения которого мне объяснять не надо.

И так, мои дорогие братья и сестры, не будьте введены в заблуждение возможно искренними, но обманутыми или некоторыми неискренними людьми, пробующими убедить Вас сделать что-нибудь глупое. Помните этот стих, этот Псалом, верьте в нашего Спасителя, будьте готовы к трудным временам, трудитесь и молитесь относительно нашего избавления.

  И конечно, для тех, кто не любит истину Слова Божия, они согласятся со мной, т.к. я не могу отрицать то, что пророчилось пророками древности, но я не буду продавать мое неотъемлемое право, мое - нет, НАШЕ - великолепное Наследие или отрицать мои верования за чашку похлебки, или из-за ложного чувства безопасности, в котором недоступно ничего из предложенного. Я - Белый христианин, и я не собираюсь ставить под угрозу то, во что я верю. Если Вы не любите благовестие Царства, потому что это так или иначе опровергает ваши политически правильные представления, и чувства, ну, в общем, не забывайте: ПРАВДА ВРЕДНА. Но также и делает Вас свободным, и это – главная ее сила и ценность. 

  Раскайтесь, и верьте в Евангелие ..., поскольку Он грядет!

  Psalm 127:1:  A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD (YHWH) build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. 

  I don't know how many times I have been called names and those grandiose „titles“ like the all-revealing „racist“ etc. Well, I think it is the time for me to take the stand and respond according to my best knowledge and belief.

  Myself I am not ashamed of being Christian whatever the consequences are. I am not ashamed of being White, as is popular these days in the majority of our people, dumbed down by the lying „pens of scribes and Pharisees“. And I am certainly not ashamed for being White Christian. If that sounds „racist“ to you, so be it. In fact, it seems funny to be called „racist“ by those who chose to follow Jesus, but reject His teachings which, as we know, don't lack racial foundations.

  But truth is, that the ugly image of us, the White Christian believers in the Christ Yahshua, is not created by the fact, we are Christians. There are some 38-40 thousand different Christian denominations in the world, so one more or less, even with the „weird“ teachings (as many see our Israel Identity message) wouldn't mean a thing. But the problem is, that there are many pro-White, unChristian (but, unfortunately, even some so-called „Christian“), groups, seeking to establish the supremacy of White Race with their own means and ideas.

  Brothers and sisters, „White Revolution is the only solution!“ and similar slogans didn't help anything and anybody except our enemies and – to be a little bit sarcastic – those who produce T-shirts with such slogans.

  I think that in their stubborness of their hearts and refusal of accepting Yahshua as our Supreme Commander – so to speak – they are denied the access to the knowledge necessary to understand the state of affairs and the roots and causes of the problem they are able to perceive.

  The history, no doubt, repeats itself. Many in Jerusalem didn't understand, that Yahshua has come for the first time not to take the crown, not as the King of Israel. They wanted  the Kingdom „here and now“, but everything is in the hands of our Almighty Father, Yahweh. The same could be said about modern judeo-Christians not knowing anything about prophecies or having just very dim vision about them. Until all, what was prophesied, pass, there will be no change. It ain't over till it's over. Period. But our people still wants it „here and now“, no matter what. This is why they make desperate moves (although we understand their motives) and make foolish actions.

  As for me, and for true Christians, we don't need to get armed and go on senseless killing spree just to show that we are the „resistance fighters“. There is no „White revolution“ and without Yahshua will there be none. I see better alternatives than spending the rest of life in the hell-hole of the prison system for trying single-handedly overthrow the System. Surely, „Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it...“

  This is not to say Christians should – and will – go to the meat-grinder of the Zionist tyranny like lambs to the slaughter. The disarming of American citizens and people worldwide is the sign for those who have eyes to see, that we just entered the Grand Finale – welcome to the global concentration camp, voilez! No, no...no freedom lover, in fact, no Christian, should give up his/her rights and freedoms without resistance, on the contrary, we are duty bound to defend our liberties and families. But this is DEFENSE, not OFFENSE. I think this is best illustrated by the familiar rattlesnake symbol of the Civil War era flags and the slogan of „Don't Tread On Me!“ The implications I don't need to explain, do I?

  So, my dear brothers and sisters, don't be misled by perhaps sincere, but deceived, and/or by some not-at-all--sincere people trying to persuade you to do something stupid. Rember this verse, this Psalm, believe in our Saviour, be prepared for the hard times coming and pray for our deliverance.

  And of course, for those who do not like the Truth of the Word of Yahweh, it's OK with me, for I can't deny what was prophesied by prophets of old, but I won't sell my birthright, my – no, OUR -  glorious Heritage or deny my beliefs for a bowl of pottage or for the false feeling of security, ,where there is none available nor offered. I am the White Christian and I am not going to compromise what I believe in. If you don't like the Kingdom Gospel, because it somehow hurts your politically correct views and feelings, well, don't forget: TRUTH HURTS. But also sets you free and that is the price worth the labor.

  Repent ye, and believe the gospel...for He is coming!

  on this 3^rd day of September, 2008

  Pastor Jonathan Williams 

  Je absolútnym faktom, že úroveň obetavosti ranných kresťanov bola oveľa vyššia, prinajmenšom na povrchu. To je úplne jasné u každého malého detailu ich služby nášmu Otcovi Jahvemu. Keďže Kristus kráčal po zemi počas ich životov, títo ranní „Kristovi vojaci“ mali tú najväčšiu možnú čistotu, ako historická dokumentácia dokazuje. Aj keď čistotu poznania Pravdy občas narušil náhodný spor, kresťanskí Izraeliti nakladali so svojou Vierou tak, ako mali – s úctou a obranou. Ako kresťania nemáme k nasledovaniu iba Jahveho Zákon, ale máme taktiež vyzdvihovať povinnosti.  Uctievanie sviatostí, ktoré sme prenášali celou kresťanskou epochou i v doby predchádzajúce, je v našom poslaní to najdôležitejšie. Je to nikdy nekončiaci zápas.

  Čitateľ musí jasne chápať, že Kristovi pôvodní „učeníci“ boli tak oddaní, že ich koniec (spôsob ich smrti) nie je nič žiaduce – no to všetko kvôli kázaniu a šíreniu Kristovho evanjelia. Ďalej upevňujúc, že ako Jeho vyvolený ľud musíme byť v Jeho službe i pod najväčším tlakom, za akýchkoľvek podmienok. 

  2. Timotejovi 3:12: „Všetci tí, čo si želajú žiť v zbožnej oddanosti v spoločenstve s Krostm Ježišom, budú takisto prenasledovaní.“ 

  Rimanom 8:35: „Kto nás oddelí od Kristovej lásky? Súženie alebo tieseň alebo prenasledovanie alebo hlad alebo nahota alebo nezbezpečie alebo meč?“ 

  Vidíme teda, že volanie a príčina prenasledovania, ktorému čelíme, sa dá vcelku považovať za ospravedlnené, nehovoriac o fakte, že Kristus trpel obrovskou bolesťou a trápením za našu spásu, no treba si uvedomiť, že väčšinu času nie sme schopní prejaviť takú oddanosť, ktorá sa vyžaduje na podporu Jeho pokynov. A to sa stáva opakovane. A snáď najmáhavejším aspektom obrany našej Viery je zapodievanie sa tými, ktorí sa zdajú byť rovnakí navonok, no nemajú žiadne duchovno. To je tá neužitočnosť, ktorej prepadli mnohí, snažiac sa pomáhať slabým v Duchu, ktorí odmietajú pomôcť si sami. Bez ohľadu na námahu, ako kresťania si nemôžeme dovoliť pridržiavať sa ľudských tradícií prekrútených a nanútených nám Židmi. Judaizmus NIKDY nenasledoval Zákon, a my sa musíme zapodievať existenciou obranu, a uznaním neustáleho porozumenia. Izraelita si zasluhuje poznať Pravdu o svojom pôvode.

  Navyše, ako sa posúvame vpred, nachádzame, že hrozba, ktorej Izraeliti modernej doby čelia, je o čosi odlišnejšia od ich minulosti, hoci iba nahrádzajúc jednu amorálnosť inou zo strany Šelmy. V dobách minulých Židia pohotovo útočili na kresťanov a predávali ich krvilačným pohanom ako otrokov, tvrdiac pritom, že práve ich ľud týmito zločinmi trpel.. No ich skutočné utrpenie ešte len nadíde, a čo je na tom zábavné – sami o tom vedia. Popretie je nebezpečné a zároveň hlúpe.

  Správne mysliaci kresťania nechcú nič viac, než slúžiť Jahvemu a naplniť naše poslanie, ktoré nám je Ním pridelené. Značná časť toho znamená slúžiť celým svojím potenciálom. Akákoľvek časť vášho bytia, ktorá nie je plne oddaná Kristovi, slúži zlu, rušiac tým dobro, ktoré môže existovať. Ako vidíte v tomto verši, je to i učenie Písma: 

  Zjavenie 3:16: „Pretože si však vlažný, ani horúci, ani studený, vyvrhnem ťa zo svojich úst.“ 

  Prečítať a porozumieť tomuto veršu, prinajmenšom jeho počiatočnému posolstvu, dokáže i malé dieťa, no jeho základ sa týka dôležitých záležitostí, jasne Izraelitmi pochopiteľných.

  Dobrým začiatkom je štúdium „moci krvi“ a pokrvných línii (rodokmeňov). Tieto záležitosti sú nesmierne dôležité, ruka v ruke s pochopením rannej Cirkvi ohľadom ich povinností a práv. 

  1. Petra 1:13: „Preto si prepášte svoju myseľ k činnosti, buďte triezvi, vložte svoju nádej v nezaslúženú láskavosť, ktorú máte dostať pri zjavení Ježiša Krista.“ 

  1. Petra 1:14: „Ako poslušné deti prestaňte sa utvárať podľa žiadosti, ktoré ste mali skôr, v svojej nevedomosti,“ 

  1. Petra 1:15: „ale v zhode s tým Svätým, ktorý vás povolal, staňte sa aj vy sami svätými v celom svojom správaní,“ 

  1. Petra 1:16: „lebo je napísané: „Buďte svätí, lebo ja som svätý.““ 

  1. Petra 1:17: „A ak vzývate Otca, ktorý súdi nestranne každého podľa jeho diela, bývajte v bázni počas svojho pobytu v cudzine.“ 

  1. Petra 1:18: „Veď viete, že ste neboli oslobodení porušiteľnými vecami, striebrom či zlatom od svojho neplodného spôsobu správania, ktoré ste prijali tradíciou od svojich predkov,“ 

  1. Petra 1:19: „ale bolo to drahocennou krvou ako bezchybného a nepoškvrneného baránka, áno, Kristovou.“ 

  Pozrite sa na tieto nasledujúce verše: 

  Zjavenie 7:14: „Povedal som mu: „Môj pane, ty to vieš.“ A on mi povedal: „To sú tí, ktorí vychádzajú z veľkého súženia a vyprali si rúcha a vybielili ich v Baránkovej krvi.““ 

  Zjavenie 12:7: „A v nebi vypukla vojna, Michael a jeho anjeli bojovali s drakom a bojoval drak a jeho anjeli,.“ 

  Zjavenie 12:8: „ale nezískal prevahu, ani sa už nenašlo preňho miesto v nebi.“ 

  Zjavenie 12:9: „Preto bol zvrhnutý veľký drak, ten prahad, ktorý sa nazýva Diabol a Satan, ktorý zvádza celú obývanú zem, bol zvrhnutý na zem a jeho anjeli boli zvrhnutí s ním.“ 

  Zjavenie 12:10: „A počul som silný hlas v nebi, ktorý povedal: „Teraz prišla záchrana a moc a kráľovstvo nášho Boha a právomoc jeho Krista, lebo bol zvrhnutý žalobca našich bratov, ktorý ich dňom a mocou obviňuje pred naším Bohom.“ 

  Zjavenie 12:11: „A zvíťazili nad ním pre Baránkovu krv a pre slovo svojho svedectva a nemilovali svoje duše ani zoči-voči smrti.“ 

  A prečítaním si týchto veršov nájdete ďalšie príklady oddanosti Cirkvi v ranných počiatkoch kresťanstva, a snáď i osvietenie pre smerovanie, v ktorom Jahveh chce, aby jeho potomkovia nasledovali. 

  Skutky 9:31: „Potom zbor po celej Judei, Galilei a Samárii vstúpil do pokojnej doby a budoval sa, a keďže kráčal v bázni pred Jahvem a potešoval ho svätý Duch, stále rástol v počte. 

  A tak v Skutkoch 9:31 uvedených vyššie čítame, že ranná Cirkev pevne kráčala, „v bázni pred Jahvem“, zväčšujúc svoj počet v zjavnom požehnaní. Územia, o ktorých sa v tomto verši hovorí, boli rovnako kritické, poskytujúc kresťanom tej doby málo bezpečia, jednak kvôli Židom snažiacim sa o ich zničenie, i kvôli pohanom, pomáhajúcim Židom v ich snahe. Opäť sa pozrite na nižšie uvedený verš, ako sa kresťania obetúvavali. Tento verš taktiež vyvracia bláznivé doktríny proti jednote, ktoré dnes kolujú vôkol nás. 

  Skutky 20:28: „Dávajte pozor na seba a na celé stádo, v ktorom vás svätý Duch ustanovil za dozorcov, aby ste pásli Boží zbor, ktorý vykúpil svojou krvou.“ 

  Tuná je pár veršov hodných povšimnutia kvôli tomu, ako sa Izraeliti mali správať okrem mojžišovských učení, ktorých nasledovanie mali prikázané: 

  1. Korinťanom 14:4: „Kto hovorí jazykom, buduje seba, ale ten, kto prorokuje, buduje cirkev.“ 

  1. Korinťanom 14:34: „nech ženy v zboroch mlčia, lebo im nie je dovolené hovoriť, ale nech sú podriadené, tak ako hovorí Zákon.“ 

  1. Korinťanom 14:35: „Teda ak sa chcú niečo naučiť, nech sa pýtajú doma svojich manželov, lebo je potupné, aby žena hovorila v zbore.“ 

  1. Korinťanom 14:36: „Čože? Vyšlo vari Božie slovo od vás, alebo došlo k vám?“ 

  1. Korinťanom 14:37: „Ak si niekto myslí, že je prorok alebo obdarovaný duchom, nech uzná to, čo vám píšem, pretože to je Pánovo prikázanie.“ 

  1. Korinťanom 14:38: „Ale ak je niekto v nevedomosti, zostáva v nevedomosti.“ 

  1. Korinťanom 14:39: „Preto, moji bratia, horlivo sa usilujte o prorokovanie, a pritom nezakazujte hovoriť jazykmi.“ 

  1. Korinťanom 14:40: „Ale nech sa všetko deje slušne a usporiadane.“ 

  Posledná moja dnešná poznámka sa týka výslovne pôvodných Kristových „učeníkov“. Dvanástich, o ktorých sa bežne hovorí.

  Dá sa povedať, a malo by byť jasné, že žiaden z nich neodvolal svoju vieru, ani jeden z nich. Hoci čelili istote strašnej smrti, ich osvietenie obdržané skrze Krista im pomáhalo stáť pevne až do konca. A toto je skutočný triumf v tomto živote, „víťazstvo“. Existuje silnejšia stránka každého jednotlivca, no tá sa dá použiť len prostredníctovm dostupných zdrojov. 

  1. Korinťanom 14:40: „Ale nech sa všetko deje slušne a usporiadane.“

                        
 The Old Testament was predominantly written in Hebrew. The Hebrew Bible is our initial instruction manual. If you were following a recipe for a beautiful meal but the cookbook was written in French and you only spoke/read English all you prepared would likely be an inedible disaster. This applies to the instructions from YHWH as well but has much more important consequences, a lack of understanding this book can lead to either life or death.

Относно Ранната Църква 

от Пастор Джонатан Уилямс 

Абсолютен факт е, че нивото на посвещение на най-ранните Християни е ненадминато, или поне така изглежда на повърхността. Това става доста ясно от всяка малка подробност в службата им към Нашият Отец ЯХВЕ. Имайки предвид, че Христос буквално е ходил по земята по времето когато са живели, ранните “Воини за Христос” са били в най-висша степен непорочни, както е показано в историческата документация. Въпреки, че редките спорове може да са прекъснали спокойствието на познаването на Истината, Християнските Израелтяни се отнасяли към вярата си както трябва, с чест и защита. Като Християни, ние имаме Законите на ЯХВЕ, които да следваме, и задълженията, които да приемем. Да почитаме точно тези тайнства, които сме прокарали през епохата на Християнството и през предишните епохи е първостепенно в нашата мисия. Безкрайната борба. 

Трябва също да разберем, че оригиналните “Ученици” на Христос са били толкова посветени, че съдбите им не са били точно за завиждане, и всичко в името на проповядването и разпространението на Евангелието на Христос. Допълнително затвърждавайки, че ние, като Негов избран народ, трябва да сме в Негова служба, дори и под най-тежкото напрежение, при всякакви обстоятелства. 

2 Тимотей 3:12: Па и всички, които искат да живеят благочестиво в Христа Иисуса, ще бъдат гонени. 

Римляни 8:35: Кой ще ни отлъчи от любовта Божия: скръб ли, притеснение ли, или гонение, глад ли, или голотия, опасност ли, или меч? 

Така, че можем да видим, че поводът и причината за преследването, пред което сме изправени, могат да бъдат разглеждани като оправдани, да не говорим за факта, че Христос е изтърпял огромни болки и страдания за Спасението ни, и въпреки това, ние ясно показваме, че в повечето случаи, не можем да се постигнем посвещението, нужно, за да се поддържат законите Му. Това започва да ни става навик. И може би, един от най-тежките аспекти на защитата на Вярата ни е справянето с онези, които външно са като нас, но не притежават никаква Духовност. Това е празнина, в която много биват завлечени, опитвайки се да помогнат на слабите Духом, които отказват да си помогнат сами. Без значение на цената, ние като Християни повече не можем да си позволим да поддържаме тези плътски традиции, които Евреите оскверниха и предадоха на нас. Законите НИКОГА не са били следвани чрез Юдаизма, така че това е далеч от настоящата тема, нужно е да сме загрижени за съществуването на защита, и познаването на вечното разбиране. Един Израелтянин заслужава да знае Истините за своя произход. 

Нещо повече, преминавайки нататък, откриваме, че опасността, пред която са изправени съвременните Израелтяни не се различава много от миналото им, ако се замени една форма на неприличие с друга, запратена към нас от Звяра. В минали времена, Евреите с готовност нападали Християните и ги предавали като роби на кръвожадните езичници, като през цялото време твърдяли, че техните хора са онези, които страдат от това. Техните беди тепърва предстоят, и смешното е, че те го знаят. Отричането е опасно, както и глупаво. 

Правилно мислещите Християни не искат нищо повече от това да служат на ЯХВЕ и да изпълняват мисията, възложена ни от Него. Огромна част от това е да се служи с пълно отдаване, с всичко от себе си. Всяка част от вас, която не е напълно посветена на Христос, служи на злото, унищожавайки по този начин и доброто, което съществува. Това е Библейско, както виждате тук: 

Откровение 3:16: Така, понеже си хладък, и нито горещ, нито студен, ще те изблювам из устата Си. 

Едно малко дете може да прочете горния стих и да започне да разбира съдържанието поне на първоначалното послание, но скритият смисъл засяга въпроси от най-голяма важност и може да бъде ясно разбран от Израелтяните. 

Също така, добре е да се започне от изучаването на “силата на кръвта” и кръвните връзки. Тези неща са от главно значение, тъй като вървят ръка за ръка с разбирането на ранната Църква относно правата и задълженията. 

1 Петрово 1:13: Заради това, възлюбени, като препашете чреслата на ума си, бидейки бодри, напълно се надявайте на принасяната вам благодат при явяването Иисус Христово. 

1 Петрово 1:14: Като послушни чеда, не постъпвайте според предишните ваши похоти, кога бяхте в неведение, 

1 Петрово 1:15: но по примера на призовалия вас Светия и вие сами бъдете свети във всички ваши постъпки. 

1 Петрово 1:16: Защото писано е: “бъдете свети, понеже Аз съм свет”. 

1 Петрово 1:17: И ако вие наричате Отец Тогова, Който нелицеприятно съди всекиго по делата, то със страх прекарвайте времето на вашето странствуване, 

1 Петрово 1:18: като знаете, че не с тленни неща – сребро или злато, сте изкупени от суетния живот, предаден вам от бащите, 

1 Петрово 1:19: но с драгоценната кръв на непорочния и чист като агнец Христос 

След това проучете тези по-долу: 

Откровение 7:14: Аз му отговорих: ти знаеш господарю. А той ми рече: те са, които идат от голямата скръб; те опраха дрехите си и ги избелиха с кръвта на Агнеца. 

Откровение 12:7: И стана война на небето: Михаил и Ангелите му воюваха със змея, а змеят и ангелите му воюваха против тях. 

Откровение 12:8: но не устояха, и за тях се не намери вече място на небето. 

Откровение 12:9: И биде свален големият змей, древният змей, наричан дявол и сатана, който мами цялата вселена – свален на земята, а заедно с него бидоха свалени и ангелите му. 

Откровение 12:10: И чух на небето висок глас да говори: сега настана спасението и силата и царството на нашия Бог и властта на Неговия престол, понеже е свален клеветникът на братята ни, който ги клеветеше пред нашия Бог денем и нощем. 

Откровение 12:11: Те го победиха с кръвта на Агнеца и със словото на своето свидетелство, и не милееха за душата си дори до смърт. 

И четейки по-долните стихове, ще откриете още примери за преданоста на Църквата в ранните години на Християнството, а може би ще бъдете просветени за посоката, в която ЯХВЕ призовава чедата Си да поемат сега. 

Деяния 9:31: А църквите по цяла Иудея, Галилея и Самария бяха в мир, назидаваха се и ходеха в страх Господен; и с утехата на Светаго Духа умножаваха се. 

В Деяния 9:31 четем, че ранната Църква е вървяла непоколебимо или “в страх от ЯХВЕ”, умножавайки се, по тази причина, под явна благословия. Областите, за които се говори също са от решаващо значение, тъй като са предлагали малка сигурност на тогавашните Християни, имайки предвид Евреите, търсили унищожението им, и езичниците, които по това време са били готови да помогнат на Евреите в тази задача. Погледнете отново по-долу, където на Християните е показано кой се е жертвал за тях. Този стих също опровергава много ясно глупавите учения против Единството, които се разпространяват наоколо. 

Деяния 20:28: Внимав
