Welcome to the Remnant Way!
In these last days, most who call themselves christians swing from one extreme to the other. On one hand most "judeo-christians tend to study the New Testament exclusively, utterly ignoring the old testament. Meanwhile, many who have come to the "Israelite" truth delve into the Old testament, paying little attention to the New Testament.
Now I sit me down in school, where praying is against the rule; By Rev. John W. Shenton "Yet I set my King upon my holy hill of Zion" Psalms 2:6. Supreme Crisis Ahead. However the serious minded reader looks at the situation whether on a world scale or the situation at home, one cannont but have an inner feeling that we are headed towards not just another crises BUT THE SUPREME CRISIS OF THE AGES.This is not mere scaremongering, all the signs are with us. Signs we have deliberately chosen to ignore, although they have been given to us in clear unmistakeable language by our Creator in His Guide Map-The Bible, by His Prophets, His Apostles and above all, by His Sovereign Royal Son, Yahoshua the Messiah. They are there for all to read and be guided by them, but we have preferred to ignore the signs and go our own ways and now we find that our own ways lead to dead ends! And we have passed the point of no return. While men Slept. WHILE MEN SLEPT! An oft repeated Divine Warning, and yet, how many important history making events have happened WHILE MEN SLEPT? Our American readers should never forget what happened at Pearl Harbor WHILE MEN SLEPT! We here in the United Kingdom have been lulled and drugged to sleep while EVIL MEN having crept in unawares and have gone about their evil ways. This in spite of the constant cry of the God of our fathers to "AWAKE! AWAKE!". But in our sleep and dreaming, the enemy has been at work, although the warning has been given often, loud and clear. In front of me is an old newspaper report of how the enemy infiltrated key positions in all walks of life so they have a tight grip on the throat and jugular vein of the whole nation. Control, so that the nation can be destroyed and captured from within. Are we so blind as not to see the real significance of what is happening in our midst right now? We are sure many of our older readers never thought that they would live to see what is happening in this once morally and spiritually influential country of ours. The Media flaunt filth and trivia and trash before us hour by hour, day by day. It brings to mind the parable of the prodigal son who became so poor that he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat. It is truly a tragic sight to behold a once great and mighty nation feeding at the swine trough. Happily for the prodigal son he did "come to himself", he saw the plight for what it was. Can we do the same atthis late hour? The Downgfall of Empires and Peoples It is a strange story yet true, that we as a people we seem to learn only the hard way. The past seems to have no meaning for us. Take that little and unknown book Nahum, hidden to most people away in the Old Testament. But it is necessary reading for today for it teaches the causes which either buildup or destroy. People do the same today. For the causes are written by the Creator into the very nature of reality and we cannot go against reality and win. Nahum tells of the decline and fall of Nineveh, a great world power, with it's seething population, with it's burning greed of gain, and with it's vast trading arms ever reaching out to grasp the treasures of the earth. But notice also the moral and spiritual condition of Nineveh! Note them well; "lies", "robbery", "witchcrafts", and "filth", and it is these very things which hasten the Day of Judgement and doom. Don't Dodge the Significance Check up the words of the prophet. "Woe to the bloody city! It is full of lies." Moral values are no longer real; there is a mere covering up, a moral cosmetic. Truth is no longer lived up to or embodied. And this had gone on to produce"a greed for gain," and another sin, the love of display, or mere outward show. She thought fine feathers make fine birds! Thus life took on a veneer and gaudy show. "Truth had fallen in the streets." "Woe to the bloody city, it is full of lies and robbery." When TRUTH is ignored, not accepted as a moral standard, when it's beauty is shunned, then life becomes a weird scene of moral chaos. "And is the mistress of witchcrafts," that is to say, she acknowledges no Divine Reality of Revealed Faith and Standards, no Divine Soveriegnty, so goes after and accepts all the weird inventions of self willed living. For all self willed living and self centered behaviour bring dire consequences. These cannot be escaped if man insists upon being his own God. The Forgotten Factor The prophet now comes to the most important factor in the whole scene," AND YAHWEH SAID..." We urge our readers to examine this book and note that the God revealed there is no absentee sitting idle in far off outer space. Mark well the prophet's description of the ACTIVITY OF THE ALMIGHTY LIVING GOD. Note how he supports the Divine Declaration elsewhere:"Yahweh hath established His Throne in the Heavens HIS KING DOTH RULETH OVER ALL." And note well something you will never hear of in these days of sentimentalized so called Christian faith,"GOD IS FURIOUS!" When did you last hear a sermon on this aspect of the Everliving God? Always whether it be in the press or on television, the one text sent forth always without fail is "God is Love", as if this is the only text which makes up holy writ. And how few stop to realize if God were not HOLY He could not be love? If He were not LAW, He could not be love. If He were not GRACE, He could not be love. And if He were not at times FURIOUS, he could not be love. Love is not the first attribute of God, it is the fifth! Fortunately, whatever view we take of God He is always in control. And unbelief is always unreasonable, inexcuseable and reprehensible. This is God's world. We are living in His house.He has packed this world with all the good things necessary for the good life He planned we should have. But alas, men prefer their own way toward their own ruin. Note from the prophecy how the deterioration goes on so slowly but so surely. Sin against the One True God brings a kind of stupefication and a deep sleep comes over a once great nation. Remember,"As it was in the days of Noah until he entered the ark and judgement came, AND THEY KNEW IT NOT." When sin bites deep into a nation the people become numb to the lessons of history. They become blind to THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES. They become deaf to the sound of coming judgement. Alas, Nineveh met her doom. LESSON What has all this have to do with us today? looking back on the judgement, not only of Nineveh but all other great empires and peoples, it surely is that above else in life we ought to make quite sure we are living to please Yahweh God and in a world such as this to be assured of His friendship, help and deliverance. For as all the prophets warned:" It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God", when we are living in open rebellion against Him and His Holy Righteous Laws. The bible says that our God is a consuming fire. Will we learn our lesson in time? Can we? Lost Our Way Somehow, most of our brethren have lost their way on life's journey. Millions of people are feeling much like when the great explorer, Rear Admiral Richard Bird, lost his bearings in the Anarctic night, the awful realization came over him that he had missed the way:" I knew that I was lost and I was sick inside." Is it not true that that many today feel mentally. spiritually and physically sick because they know that they are lost. They are like the blind man tapping his way along the pavement- tapping their way from event to event trying to find their way home. I suppose the mandate of all who know the truth is to help the blind find not just A way, but THE way, THE WAY OF REALITY THAT GOD HAS WRITTEN INTO THE VERY STRUCTURE OF THE UNIVERSE ITSELF. There is one great sickness and that is homesickness. And yet home is so close because we christians have the three greatest things in the universe. We have 1) THE GREATEST PERSON,YAHWEH'S ANNOINTED KING, which no power in hell can remove. 2) YAHWEH'S GREATEST PROGRAM,THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH AND IT'S PERFECT LAWS, 3) YAHWEH'S GREATEST POWER, THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO HELP AND GUIDE. Our mission is to help those who are homesick to understand the sheer beauty of the Kingdom and to help them find THE WAY.
By Chuck Baldwin America's Christian heritage is both rich and deep. What most historians and educators refuse to acknowledge, our forebears understood clearly: it was mostly Christians and churches that formed and shaped the new land that became known as the United States of America. For example, when discussing the brave exploits of the passengers on board the Mayflower, people seem to have forgotten that the voyage was mostly the endeavor of a single church congregation. And don't forget that it was Pastor Jonas Clark's male congregants who withstood British troops at Lexington and fired the very first of the shots heard 'round the world. The famous French historian, Alexis De Tocqueville, credited the pulpits and churches of Colonial America with inspiring America's successful War for Independence and subsequent prosperity much more than its institutions of learning, halls of Congress, or industries of invention. From the very beginning, America's Christians and pastors were intricately involved in the establishment and building of this republic. It is no hyperbole to say that without the influence, sacrifice, dedication, blood, sweat, and tears of America's early Christians, this country would not exist. But what do we see today? We see pastors and church congregations who are, for the most part, totally ignorant of their own heritage and history. They have little or no understanding of the principles of Natural Law--something America's founders knew almost by second nature (no pun intended). They seem to know next to nothing of the Biblical principles of liberty and government. All they seem to be able to do is regurgitate some mindless interpretation of Romans 13--an interpretation that could have been written by King George III or even Adolf Hitler.
Ignoring the great examples and exhortations of both Testaments, today's Christians seem to have lazily latched onto a modern-day "divine right of kings" philosophy, through which they have become the pathetic slaves of arrogant and pompous political wolves dressed (barely) in the sheepskins of legitimacy. Where are America's watchmen on the wall? Where are the great stories of courage and commitment demonstrated by America's founders that once emanated from church pulpits? How is it that today's Christians know more about sports celebrities than they do America's heroes? How is it that these lying, conniving, con artists called politicians can sucker church members as easily as they do the un-churched? How is it that Christians do not seem to recognize the devilish doctrines of socialism, fascism, elitism, or globalism for what they are? How can they be so easily manipulated? How is it that these corrupt politicians--who vote to kill unborn babies, merge America into internationalist and global entities, strip Americans of their God-given natural right of self defense, promote homosexual marriage, or allow America to lose its identity, culture, and heritage through unbridled illegal immigration--remain in "good standing" with any number of supposed "Christian" churches? Even though there are more churches in America than anywhere else in the world, the pastors and Christians of this country have, for the most part, become completely irrelevant to preserving "the blessings of liberty"--or even fundamental Biblical principles, for that matter. Churches used to be respected as lighthouses in communities: places free from the jaundiced juxtaposition of political correctness and avarice. Today's churches are filled with both. Where once churches stood as guardians of truth, they have now become progenitors of error. Where once preachers stood in the similitude of Elijah and John the Baptist, they now grovel in the image of Joel Osteen and Rick Warren. Sunday Schools were once bastions of Bible teaching; today they are glorified coffee shops and playgrounds. The modern Christian home cannot even disciple its own children: how can it then be expected to "make disciples of all nations" I repeat: the modern American church has, for the most part, become irrelevant. It is little wonder that more and more people are losing interest in the organized church. Instead of finding Christian love and kindness, they find the same kind of gossip, slander, petty bickering, favoritism, and selfishness that they might find at any office water cooler. Instead of hearing a prophet of God declare the Word of God, they hear a milquetoast minister meekly musing the latest self-help book. The complete irrelevance of today's organized church in America to the preservation of Christian liberty and constitutional government is especially disconcerting to those of us who still have freedom's fire burning in our souls. Where do we go for respite and instruction? I tell you the truth: there are hundreds of thousands of patriotic, freedom-minded Christians all over America who have had it "up to here" with these spineless social clubs called churches! They are tired of petrified pastors groveling before corrupt politicians and businessmen. They hunger for truth, and they are not finding it in most organized churches. As an example, go to my list of people who have written me to let me know that they are desperately seeking a Black Regiment-type church that they can attend. The list grows by the day. See the list here. These people are not looking to be entertained or pampered. They do not care about social standing or making "business contacts." They don't care which church has the "most exciting" youth program, or how many softball teams it has. They want a church where the pastor isn't afraid to speak truth to power and take a stand for liberty. And, unfortunately, such churches are getting harder and harder to find. In fact, I submit that the true church is not "emerging"; it is "submerging." As in totalitarian regimes all over the world, where there are basically two types of churches: the organized State-approved church, where people who worship the State go to put on a religious show; and the underground church, where real Christians go to worship God with honest, likeminded believers. The "underground" church in America is not totally underground--yet. But the schism is taking place rapidly. Unlike the houses of State Worship, which enjoy large congregations and ornate buildings, underground churches are, for the most part, small and unassuming. Home churches are also mushrooming and must be considered part of the underground church movement. And, of course, Black Regiment churches are springing up all across the country. See the list of Black Regiment churches here.
I am convinced that it is through these independent, unaffiliated, unorganized, or underground churches that relevancy will return. It is in these churches where Christians can be taught the Biblical principles of Natural Law, where children who are disciplined and know how to behave are not considered oddities, where pastors aren't afraid to proclaim truth, where people are still committed to constitutional government--and understand the difference between a democracy and a republic--and where self-serving neocons are not regarded as heroes.
So, if you are a Christian and you want to be relevant to the preservation of liberty in this country, you need to get out of these establishment, State-worshipping churches and find yourself an "underground," unaffiliated, or Black Regiment church. And you need to do it quickly! Sheeres Holadae (08-08-09) I had a friend email me a few weeks ago concerning pictures and articles and general information she read/saw on the Internet. Many people that 'surf'' the Internet are terrified of what they see and read as she is every time she does it! Now I could not question what she found on the Internet or what things may have looked like. True or false, I could not determine the validity of the information at that time because I had not seen or read it. However, as I wrote her back I started to think about all the other people I know that do the same thing. So Yahweh put it on my heart to write this little article concerning just that, so here it goes. Most of you I'm sure are aware of the technology available today. It is very possible to crop photo's , splice video's or even change written material in order to make someone look innocent or guilty of something. The truth will be revealed one day. We, as Yahweh's children just have to decide if going to these sites and exposing ourselves to them are worth the anxiety and fear it causes or separating ourselves from brothers and sisters in Yahweh over it! You need to ask yourself... “Do I have the discernment it takes to read or look up this Internet hearsay, rumors and scandalous tidbits of questionable fact or fiction and process it intelligently”? I believe that even the watchman are beginning to feel the terror of whats to come. Many leaders and teachers appear to be grasping at straws now and then as do the rest of us.. Personally I think they are beginning to realize they can't stop the destruction and devastation headed our way, their hands are just as tied as ever. It is foretold of the coming devastation and things are going to get worst before the return of Yahshua. We were never meant to stop it. Yahshua's return is what is going to save us. It will not be by our own hands, as some try to portray. We are however, meant to stay true to Yahweh at all times. We should not fear the coming storm! As I have said for years... "IF YOU ARE RIGHT WITH THE FATHER... THEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR" There is no place to hide... no place to run! There is no 'Safe Zone' to reach. Yahweh our Heavenly Father is in control. We as His beloved children have nothing to fear as long as we are true to His word and laws. Trust in Yahweh and He will see you through the coming Tempest and storm.

CALL it spiritual warfare. The moral and ethical battles raging TODAY are a conflict of stratospheric implications. What is happening in our government, our courts, our schools, in business, in entertainment, and even IN CHURCHES is nothing less than a complete spiritual overhaul. Right before our eyes is a well-planned and brilliantly executed ATTACKon traditional values and beliefs that have served society well since man was put on earth. We are witnesses to an astounding redefinition of the moral standards by which society has been able to survive and function for the past 6,000 years. Simultaneously, a new set of values based on popular psychology is being transfused into common thinking. The underlying object is to prepare minds of people to receive the prophesied end-time 'Beast' system that will subjugate all of the world's governments. It will be a political-religious alliance such as the world has never seen. Scripture foretells that ALL who dwell on the earth, with the exception of the saints, WILL worship the Beast (Anti-messiah), Rev. 13:8. So powerfully will the man of sin's deceptions influence and permeate our culture that Yahweh's very elect will themselves come close to being deceived by the wiles of the one to come (Matthew 24:24). Before this iconoclastic, truth-supplanting regime can achieve world domination, however, resistance must be neutralised. Minds must be made receptive. For wholesale acceptance to be possible, right and wrong as defined in the Bible must be redefined. Method in the Madness A Bible-based wayof life represents the only REAL obstacle to the implementation of this Satan-backed regime .Therefore, ANY Biblical way of thinking needs The resulting chaos will open the door to the New World Government. The system will be able to fashion moality in its own image, just as the Nazis did in Germany and the Communists have done in Russia and China. To re-educate the masses, the Adversary is taking a most ingenious tack. Through pop psychology, positive thinkers, and the self-esteem cult, he is busily convincing human beings that WE OURSELVES are the sole determinant of what is right and wrong. And since man is fallible and truth is relative, no one really can say that sin is sin and wrong is wrong. Further, even to THINK that someone could do wrong is destructive to one's all-important SELF-ESTEEM. Our example of HOW the traditional concept of wrong is being EXPUNGED from the mass conscience is found in TODAY'S COURTS. To distance the criminal And juries across our land are buying it-especially when the media are keeping ubiquitous eyes on the case and more eager to hype what they see as ANY discriminatory verdicts. We are living in a no-fault age where people are DUCKING RESPONSIBILITY. Everywhere Churches have for centuries been watering the roots of the This MODERN MESSAGE is bolstered by the New Age phenomenon: man is the centre of his universe. New Age trumpets that no particular values are essential to the human condition. Therefore outside, higher truth with its moral and ethical absolutes is useless to the new thinker. As a result, NOTHING is seen as good or bad, right or wrong, black or white. We exist in zones of gray where what is bad for you may not be bad for me. THIS Satanic stratagem plays right into man's ageless desire to be his own authority and stand on the pinnacle of his own absolute. Since Adam's rebellion man has wanted to EXALT HIMSELF above all. Especially does he despise anyone interfering in his life to tell him that he must REPENTof his sin and change his behaviour. In this mother of all spiritual wars, the strategy of the Evil One is exceedingly effective. At no time in human history has Bible-based morality been snubbed on such a grand scale as it is TODAY. We live in a post-Biblical age where opinions have replaced self-evident right and wrong. TODAY, the psychologist is almighty and the Humanist Manifesto is the Bible people follow - whether they realise it or not. Root of the Problem What are, and will be, the results of this grand scheme to ERADICATE BIBLE STANDARDS? Many of the conditions prophesied - and appearing in TODAY'S headlines are a direct result of TODAY'S MORAL MELTDOWN. In His Olivet prophecy, Yahshua the Messiah foretold a number of circumstances that MUST PRECEDE His Second Coming. These requisites dramatically reflect a relentless attack aiming at ELIMINATING Scriptural truths from the social conscience. These and other prophecies also portend the state our world will be just before our Saviour returns to earth to wrest control from the Adversary and his minions. He will, along with His ruling saints, restore this planet to a harmonious, peaceful existence under Yahweh's righteous laws. First, however, man's rebellion will need to run its full course The End-time Validations Following are ten Scriptural reasons for believing that we ARE living in the time Yahshua called the end. These are social conditions directly attributed to man's rebellion against Yahweh and His laws. (Prophesied natural plagues related to it are not dealt with here.)
This is the most destructive of the changes to the social and religious fabric. Because evil is only measured against the truth it defiles, suppression and dilution of the truth always precedes the advancing of the lie.We see this everywhere. Modern psychology teaches people that absolutes no longer exist. Further, no one is responsible for his or her harmful or destructive acts, because we are all just victims of one kind or another ourselves. Opinions have taken place of self-evident right and wrong. Ethical and moral issues are assigned to the province of mere opinion, where they swim in a sea of gray, unable to cling to anything solid. Journalism that presents moral or ethical issues by neutrally reporting both sides gives the iIlusion that truth is somewhere between the extremes. Those, then, who make a stand for morality are seen as extremists. Totally disregarded is the fact that in a moral or ethical debate, one of the sides must be the truth! And a society that glories in perversions makes the normal look odd.
In the justice system, the tried-and-true principle of swift, sure punishment suitable to the crime (Eccl .8:11) is replaced by bargaining for punishment (plea- bargaining). This gives the guilty person a say in HOW he is going to be punished and further warps the idea of justice. The result of all this is a frightful misconstruing of what is right and wrong. The Prophet Isaiah WARNED against this very thing, revealing OUR day:
Sin even in the highest office of our land is evident, but of only mild public concern. Proverbs WARNS
The family is being redefined as any union of people - heterosexual or homosexual - and marriage is no longer the only criterion legitimising a family, as living together outside of matrimony is the latest social quirk. Nothing could play into the hands of the Evil One better, because even if this generation is not entirely won over to the new morality, the next is sure to be. Having thrown out the Bible, our society has no standard by which to declare these abominations immoral. The family is decomposing. What's left will not work.
For the first time in history women have been given equal standing with men in virtually ALL facets of life - business, government, the military, and religion. But the activists are not stopping there. The feminist movement seeks to turn a patriarchal society into a matriarchal one. This is also prophesied:
The feminists have gone all the way to the top, to maintain that the Heavenly Father is female.
This plague has always been prominent in declining civilisations. Homosexuality and other sexual abnormalities are particularly detestable to Almighty Yahweh. Yet 58 percent in a recent CNN/Time poll approve of homosexual unions. Is the homosexual aberration something some are just born with? If it is, then Almighty Yahweh was grossly unfair when He burned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to cinders for an innate behaviour that the ancient gays just couldn't help.
Sin comes naturally for all of us, Romans 3:23, yet Yahweh doesn't excuse anyone because of that fact. The message of the Bible is one of overcoming sin with the help of the Holy Spirit through faith in the blood of Yahshua. Sin IS sin. The homosexual must defeat his sin as well. Paul WARNS,
This curse also has a spiritual root. Because crime is a mirror of society's moral state as the moral climate worsens, crime increases. The prophet Hosea explains why in 4:1-2:
What IS particularly frightening about modern crime is that seven of every ten offences are committed by those eighteen and younger. What does this say about our hope for the future generation? Again, the root CAUSE is the same:
Ironically, the cure rests with this one solution man REFUSES even to consider. Instead, he prefers to seek desperately his own answers even when the panacea is staring him in the face. As men insist on scorning Yahweh and His laws, they will continue to suffer the consequences.
A lack of prisons is not the cause and cure for the exploding crime problem. Drugs are not the major factor either. The breakdown of the family and a failure to teach our children spiritual values is the primary reason - our children are now OUR OPPRESSORS.
Presently no fewer than thirty-five conflicts are under way around the world. The biggest problem is in civil unrest within individual countries. Ethnic and racial hatred is the new battle-ground of our day. This our Saviour prophesied:
This prophecy was a takeoff of Isaiah 19:2, where the prophet foretold:
These are conflicts WITH IN nations. The word nation in Luke 21:10 is the Greek ethnos and means race. Again, the reason for these hostilities is clear:
The increase in wickedness is causing people to be suspicious of one another. As a society we have lost the trust and natural regard we once had for the stranger. The Messiah said this would be the case in the FINAL DAYS:
How often one hears of the good old days when people helped strangers for the mere sake of helping them and because they had an innate desire to lend a hand. The burgeoning crime wave has changed all of that. People live in fear of the stranger and suspicion of their neighbour today.
The modern church has essentially left the teaching of Scripture. Whereas religion is supposed to impact society, our culture's newfound fascination with New Age philosophy, pop psychology and humanistic thinking is itself changing the character of institutional religion. Messages that once focused on the destructive nature of personal sin and the need for repentance have given way to concerns of the environment, positive thinking, and the necessity for a healthy self-esteem; with no guilt. Religious leaders are teaching people not to be concerned with sin, everybody is right and nobody is wrong - everyone will be saved anyway. BUT has Yahweh changed? The focus is off the Creator and on the created. Man is now the centre of his own worship. Health and wealth are the goals, not the Kingdom. A healthy self-esteem is the objective, not righteousness. The aim of today's typical sermon is to create a happy person with high self-esteem, not to reveal a wretched sinner who is in dire need of repentance, a changed life, and deliverance. Never mind that Yahshua upheld the publican who lamented his own unworthiness as an example of true repentance and exaltation. TODAY'S message is, forget feeling rotten for your sins. Sin is just a negative self-image. N wonder our society is so messed up! The very ones who should be leading people out of the morass of evil are instrumental in creating and sustaining it. Paul castigated such preachers:
He was echoing Jeremiah:
Indeed.
This last in our list is the clearest, most revealing proof that we ARE in the close of the age. Not since the ancient world tried to wipe out Old Testament Israel has there been such widespread animosity for those who hold a faith in the Scriptures. From instant estrangement when the subject of religion is brought up in general conversation, to lawsuits against prayer, Bibles, and religion in public life - the fact that we are in a post-Biblical period is undeniable. Hatred of the Bible represents the final nail in the coffin of civilisation as we know it. And those who uphold and teach are especially despised. In a prophetic announcement, Yahshua said of the True Worshipper,
Just why such animosity toward those who follow the Truth? Our Saviour explains in John 15:19,
The person who stands up for the True Word of Yahweh becomes an irritating and unwelcome conscience for those who wish to live unbridled lives. Prophetic picture is clear For 2,000 years the teachings of the Bible have helped raise the standard of cultures and nations. We are witnessing the demise of the same in direct proportion to the disintegration of BELIEF and TRUST in the Holy Word. In a dual prophecy, Jeremiah speaks to us as he did to a declining kingdom of Judah,
Man is being ALLOWED to do his thing - gradual self-destruction. It may be too late to save the world, but YOU CAN "save yourself from this untoward generation," Acts 2:40. The prophet Malachi implores,
Return to Yahweh and His laws and discover the blessings of obedience promised to the faithful, 2 Chronicles 7:14. Clearly, man's way does not work. It's a lesson that becomes more obvious each day we near the return of Yahshua. But there IS a solution. Yahshua the Messiah will at last setup a righteous and just government on this earth. Then ALL will see the astounding difference when His perfect laws ARE OBEYED WORLDWIDE - and PEACE and UNIVERSAL JOY, at last, COVER THE WORLD.
THIS is my hope and sustenance. I pray that it is YOURS, too! WHAT FAMOUS PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT GOD'S LAW Perpetuity of the Law of God, Charles Spurgeon, page 4: “Jesus did not come to change the law, but He came to explain it, and that very fact shows that it remains; for there is no need to explain that which is abrogated. By thus explaining the law He confirmed it. He could not have meant to abolish it, or He would not have needed to expound it. That the Master did not come to abolish the law is clear, because after having embodied it in His life, He willingly gave Himself to bear its penalty, though He had never broken it.” Sermons on Several Occasions, John Wesley, page 75: “The moral law contained in the Ten Commandments and enforced by the prophets Christ did not take away. It was not the design of His coming to revoke any part of this. This is the law which can never be broken.” The Constitution of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, page 88: "The moral law doth forever bind all, as well justified persons as others, to the obedience thereof, and that not only in regard of the matter contained in it, but also in respect of the authority of God the Creator who gave it.” Commentary on a Harmony of the Gospels, John Calvin, Volume I, page 277: “We must not imagine that the coming of Christ has freed us from the authority of the law; for it is the eternal rule of a devout and holy life, and must therefore, be as unchangeable as the justice of God, which it embraced, is constant and uniform.” Weighed and Wanting, Dwight L. Moody page 11: “Now men may cavil as much as they like about other parts of the Bible, but I have never met an honest man that found fault with the Ten Commandments. Infidels may mock the Lawgiver and reject Him who has delivered us from the curse of the law, but they can’t help admitting that the Ten Commandments are still binding, and that there is a penalty attached to their violation.” Luther’s Works, Martin Luther, Volume 50, page 470: “I wonder exceedingly how it came to be imputed to me that I should reject the law of the Ten Commandments ... Can anyone think that sin exists where there is no law? Whoever abrogates the law, must of necessity abrograte sin also.” Life of Luther, M. Micheler, Volume 4. page 315 (from a sermon by Luther): “He who destroys the doctrine of the law, destroys at the same time political and social order. If you eject the law from the church, there will no longer be any sin recognized as such in the world, for the gospel only defines and punishes sin by reference to the law”
