“. . . ‘Let’s go, too — and die with Yahoshua.’” John 11:16

This statement was made by one later dubbed, doubting Thomas. How does one go from charge to retreat? It happens with a lack of understanding. Once Thomas fully understood he once again picked up the mantle and charged forward for Yahoshua, dying a martyr. There is coming a time, i believe not too far into the future, that we will be faced with a choice. The choice, to live in this world that is fallen and deny Yahoshua Messiah our Adonai or die.

Revelation 13:15 describes it thusly, “And it was allowed to give breath to the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.” Some will say that the rapture will take place before this and therefore the “Christian” needn’t worry. Unfortunately, if they are wrong, which i believe Scripture shows, i fear many of them will fall away for lack of understanding.

Now is the time to build your faith. To deny yourself, and live for Yahoshua. To stop participating in the fallen nature, in a fallen world. Stop the compromise of entertaining evil, and practicing those things that Scripture calls detestable, or abominable.

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of Elohim in Messiah Yahoshua for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophesies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. Now may the Elohim of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Adonai Yahoshua Messiah. He who calls you is faithful; He will surely do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24

Martha, the sister of Lazarus, in the eleventh chapter of John makes the following statement and confession; “. . . I know that he (Lazarus) will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” And, “Yes, Adonai; I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of Elohim, who is coming into the world.” (John 11:24,27)

This needs to be our confession regardless of what comes of our lives. Are you ready to die for Yahoshua? That is a hard question, especially for the western church as it lives on positive experiences and not the harsh reality, of the ever increasing intolerance of the Elohim of the Bible and His Son Yahoshua. The Jesus of the coexist movement is a false-Christ. Seriously, are ready to be a martyr? Not a martyr like the Muslims teach, in which you attempt to take out as many infidels as possible. But, a martyr for Yahoshua, in which you proclaim the truth of salvation to the world in hopes of saving even just one.

“Come out of her, My people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and Elohim has remembered her iniquities.” Revelation 18:4-5

Are you ready to die for Yahoshua?

You are loved,
