There are all sorts of truth. Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ) in John 16:13 said, “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into ALL truth.” From this we learned that all truth come from God.

Jesus Christ was sent by God to the world to bear witness to the truth (John 18:37). Furthermore God gave him the authority to become “the truth” that men must believe, in order to gain everlasting life. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. (John 14:6)

Just as all lies come from the Devil (John 8:44), all truth belongs to Jesus Christ as God gave him authority over it (Ephesians 1:22). When Jesus Christ reveals the truth (himself) to someone, that person will be set free from the bondage of darkness and from the power of Satan. Jesus said, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32) Once a person is freed and brought from darkness to light, this person will be delivered into God’s kingdom. “For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.” (Colossians 1:13)

The truth is also God’s word. “Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” (John 17:17) Jesus Christ was also given authority over God’s word. In fact he is the word of God. It is by his Word that God gives instructions, wisdom and knowledge. God’s word is a spirit and those who live by it live in spirit. In addition, “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24)

Now, in secret spiritual realm, the Devil who is also called Satan, by his cunning deceptions, is trying to suppress the truth from coming into light. He propagates all sorts of lies that create envy, lust and pride among people and trapping many souls in darkness and throwing them into confusion. Many people have fallen into Satan’s trap because they are unaware of the truth of what’s really happening in the spirit realm.

The Devil’s lies bring confusion and darkness and eventually lead people to hatred for each other. This is the exact opposite of what God wants us to do to each other. He wants us to live in spirit and in truth because the spirit is the truth (1 John 5:6). God also wants us to walk in the light (1 John 1:7). This means loving one another and always telling the truth. “Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.” (1 John 2:9) “Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.” (Matthew 5:37)

Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 13:8, “For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.” So let’s continue to become obedient to God and keep on walking in the light “(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)” Ephesians 5:9. Let us continue praying for his Holy spirit, through Jesus Christ, to guide us and lead us into all truth forever and ever. Halleluyah! Amen!

There’s a consensus among Christians that a “mysterious figure” will enter the world scene in the very near future. His appearance will correspond with the endtime prophecies as written in the Holy Scriptures. He is known as the endtime “Anti-Christ” who is to come.

But before we jump to conclusion, let’s find out what the Bible says about the antichrist. Note in the following verse what Apostle John wrote about the nature of the antichrist.

“.. every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.” (1 John 4:3)

So according to Apostle John, the antichrist is a spirit. This spirit will be present in people who do not acknowledge that Jesus Christ as coming to the flesh. Even back then, there were antichrists already.

“Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.” (2 John 1:7)

These persons with antichrist spirit will propagate deception and suppress the truth.

“Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist–he denies the Father and the Son.” (john 2:22)

So the antichrist is not just one person but a spirit working through many people. The spirit of the antichrist has been working through people ever since Jesus Christ left the world up to now. These persons, since they do not believe in Christ, are the “antichrist” according to the bible’s definition. Such persons will be in direct opposition of what Jesus Christ is trying to accomplish. Satan will use such persons to propagate his deception.

And the mysterious “endtime figure” I mentioned at the start, will possess the spirit of the antichrist. I will write more about this “endtime figure” in a separate blog.

Yeshua HaMaschiach (Jesus Christ) is “the light” that is in every person who comes into the world. (John 1:9) This light is the life of men. (John 1:4) Those who follow the Son Of God, the “light of the world”, will never walk in darkness but will possess the light of life.(John 8:12)

Just as Jesus Christ received the “light of the world” from the Father of all lights, he then shares this glory with those who follow him by making them into “lights of the world” themselves.

Jesus Christ said, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16)

But the knowledge of “the light” is lost in darkness. As a result, people in these “last days” are unable to recognize “the light” of the Gospel of Christ.

“The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” (2 Corinthians 4:4)

But darkness is needed to make the light manifest.

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:6)

When “the light” shines, it testifies to the truth. This truth is the hope that we have in God through Jesus Christ.

Apostle Paul wrote, “for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: ‘Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’” (Ephesians 5:14)

The explanation for the “Mustard Seed” Parable that Yeshua told the Apostles to describe what the kingdom of God/Heaven is like, can also be found in the holy scriptures.

In Matthew 13:31, Yeshua told this parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches.”

Yeshua explained, in another parable, what these symbolism mean in the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13:38.

The Mustard Seed is a son of the Kingdom (Children of God)
The Man is the Lord Jesus Christ (Son Of Man)
The Field is the world
The Tree is a king (Daniel 4:20)

Now, let’s look at King Nebuchanezzar’s dream in Daniel 4:11-13.

“These are the visions I saw while lying in my bed: I looked, and there before me stood a tree in the middle of the land. Its height was enormous.The tree grew large and strong and its top touched the sky; it was visible to the ends of the earth.Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit abundant, and on it was food for all. Under it the beasts of the field found shelter, and the birds of the air lived in its branches; from it every creature was fed.”

Now let’s see the prophet Daniel’s interpretation of King Nebuchanezzar’s dream.

In Daniel 4:20-23 The prophet Daniel interprets: “The tree you saw, which grew large and strong, with its top touching the sky, visible to the whole earth,with beautiful leaves and abundant fruit, providing food for all, giving shelter to the beasts of the field, and having nesting places in its branches for the birds of the air–you, O king, are that tree! You have become great and strong; your greatness has grown until it reaches the sky, and your dominion extends to distant parts of the earth.”

Notice that the dream of King Nebuchanezzar is very similar to the “parable of the Mustard seed” that Yeshua told the apostles. Therefore, we can safely conclude that the kingdom of God will be people whom the lord will choose and groom to become great kings. Furthermore, in the following verse, God clearly indicates that he can give the kingdom to whomever he pleases.

“This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.” –Daniel 4:17

It is God’s will for us to become kings and priests in his kingdom. Apostle John prophesied in Revelation 5:10, “You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”

In fact, the “good news” is about the Gospel of the kingdom of God. It is the gospel that Yeshua proclaimed when he was here on earth.

Yeshua said, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” –Luke 4:43

Therefore we ought to strive in seeking God’s kingdom and in glorifying Yah, The God almighty, our Father in heaven. Obey his commandments, keep the faith of his son Yeshua and always walk in the light so that he will be please and allow us to partake in his kingdom. Halleluyah! Amen!

Satan is deceiving the whole entire world and he has managed to keep everybody in the dark about it. Satan lives among us. He is pretty much a big part of everything that’s happening in the world today. Behind the scenes, Satan pulls the strings. We can only imagine how many souls fall into his hands on a daily basis. Knowing he has a short time, Satan schemes up to trap every soul. He holds people hostage and tries to put everybody under his control. As a result, the whole world is now lying under his power.

Revelation 12:9 prophesied, “The great dragon was hurled down–that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. “

Yeshua also prophesied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” in Luke 10:18

The Devil’s scheme is so subtle that you will not be able to detect it unless you have come to know the truth and been enlightened. Apostle Paul warned us about the nature of our battle with Satan.

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” –Ephesians 6:12

These spiritual forces of darkness operate stealthily in the spirit realm. They have managed to deceive the entire world in “secret”. You’ll never know what hits you until it’s too late. For most people this had been the case.

That’s why Yeshua warned us, “ Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.” — 1Peter 5:8

Most people are reluctant to tell the truth about what’s going on in “secret” for fear of being persecuted. Granted people are lost in the dark and never knowing what’s truly happening, some are just in outright denial about it. But as children of God, we have the obligation to tell the truth and save people from falling victim to Satan’s “secret” deception.

Yeshua told us that , “There is nothing hidden but it must be disclosed, nothing kept secret except to be brought to light.” –Mark 4:22

Furthermore, in Acts 13:47, the Lord has commanded us: “I have made you a light for the nations, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.”

Ultimately, it is our faith in God and in his Son that’s going to determine whether we will expose Satan’s deception and help save souls. Do we genuinely trust our Father in heaven? Are we willing to do his will? Do we really have the faith of His son operating in us? Or are we just doing lip service to God? For the sake of appearing “normal” are we willing to let Satan continue to deceive us and our children? We all need to wake up and start shedding some light to the abomination that is taking place in “secret”.

Apostle Paul summed it up for us in the following verses: “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: ‘Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’” –Ephesians 5:8-14

When a person starts living in Spirit and in truth, it activates the light that is in that person. This light is the spirit of Yah, God almighty, in the face of Jesus Christ, that is in every person who came into the world (John 1:9). A person who is walking in the light (Romans 13:10 ) would be fulfilling the law (God’s commandments) and would be redeemed by the blood of Christ, (1 John 1:7) and he would have fellowship with the children of light.

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.” –1 John 1:7

The Passover commemorates Israel being freed from slavery in Egypt. The Isralites averted the plague that killed the first-born in Egypt by putting blood of lamb on their doors. After the plague, Pharoah having seen what God had done to the children of Egypt, finally decided to let the Isralites go free.

As people of Yahweh, we ought to observed The Passover Feast.

“This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord—a lasting ordinance. For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast. ” –Exodus 12:14-15

Yehushua (Jesus Christ) observed the Passover Feast, In fact it was during this feast that he had his last supper with his apostles.

“And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.” –Luke 22:15

“And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” –Luke 22:19

So, In addition, we ought to celebrate this Feast also in remembrance of what the Messiah did for us in Calvary.

Our Father, Yahweh God almighty is patient with us,  giving us plenty of chances to repent and turn around from the wicked deeds of darkness into the light of truth and life. He even sent his only begotten son, Jesus Christ and sacrificed his son’s blood so that we may receive forgiveness of sins through him. So let us not take for granted the chances that God is giving us and the sacrifice that he did for us.

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” –2 Peter 3:9

Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” –Acts 2:38

Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” –Luke 5:31-32

“To open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.” –Acts 26:18

“Who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.” –Titus 2:14

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. 12His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. 13He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. 15From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. 16And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” –Revelation 19:11-16
