Thought for Today: Sunday August 28:
We live in an age when sin is winked at and where YHVH is treated as One Who is indulgent, soft-hearted and understanding – tolerant of those who break His Commandments… But I will tell you that Elohiym did not forget about sin… He hates sin. Why? Because He Loves us and He knows the terrible devastation sin brings to us. Sin is like a deadly cancer, inexorably bringing suffering and death in its wake. Left unforgiven, sin also sends humans into a timeless eternity apart from Elohiym – into hell… Confess your sins today. Do not wait, receive from YHVH’s forgiveness and restoration so that you might be of use to Him and enjoy His Love forever.
The literary structure of Matthew 5 disproves the doctrine that the Law was annulled at any time by #yeshua. So long as there is a need for peacekeepers, for mercy, for endurance of persecution, there is a need for the Law. Only when the need for those qualities has vanished--when wickedness, covetousness, and hatred have been abolished--will the #torah, also known as the Law of Moses, no longer be necessary to teach and convict mankind.

Chili peppers make food interesting. Aficionados of extremely spicy food have developed an ability to tolerate the hottest of peppers because of the enjoyment they bring. Building that tolerance requires time, effort, dedication, and the ability to withstand considerable discomfort and pain - kind of like what we need to get along with other people.

I AM A CITIZEN OF HEAVEN – PART 2
3 – Our Destiny:
There is a full realization of heaven yet to come.
A – The Place we Were Created For:
When a person moves to a country from another country, he or she is able to go through a process whereby they can become citizens in the new country. The new country is not their native land, they are foreigners when they first step on that soil, but when they become citizens, they are given the same rights as everyone else. But, when we become citizens of heaven, we are not stepping on foreign soil. We are simply becoming a part of what YHVH originally created us for. We were meant to be here; this is the place that we have longed for; heaven for us is really our home. An interesting Bible study is a comparison of the Garden of Eden in the book of Genesis to the description of Heaven in the book of Revelation. In both we find a tree of life, unending nourishment, pleasure and the complete companionship of YHVH Himself. I personally believe that the Garden of Eden is, at the very least, a glimpse of what heaven will be like. That longing that you feel in your life as a believer, is something that has been instilled within you since the moment you were created, it is a desire to return to the place you were created for. For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of YHVH, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven -- 2 Corinthians 5:1-2. One of these days we are going to return home, we are going to receive a new body and finally breathe a sigh of relief that our earthly journey is ended.
B – The Reunion We Have Only Dreamed of:
Have you ever gone to a high school reunion or maybe a family reunion? If you have pleasant memories from school and you like to be around you family, these are things that you look forward to. There is coming a time that we will be reunited with every person, of every nation, of every period of time in history that is people of faith. We are going to be with Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, David, Esther, Deborah, Peter, Paul, Lydia and all the believers down through the ages. We will be with those who have been martyred for their faith, missionaries that have been to many lands, the reformers, the puritans and everyone in this present period of time that are believers. We are going to be together, all the Moshiach Followers, in heaven for all of eternity; we will gather around the throne and worship YHVH together and most importantly we will find the deep fellowship with YHVH that we have been longing for. We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with Adonai. -- 2 Corinthians 5:8. When you are a citizen of heaven on this side of life’s curtain, death is not something we dread, it is something we look forward to. Because when we pass from this life, we are reunited with all who have made the same decision we have made, to place our trust in Yeshua Moshiach.
C – The End And The Beginning of All Things:
When the Word of YHVH refers to the [Day of Adonai] it is usually referring to the Day of Judgment, the day that everything comes to an end and YHVH’s new world begins, this is a day that we look forward to, because our destiny is secure. But the day of Adonai will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of YHVH, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. -- 2 Peter 3:10; 12-13. We will be there when this world ends and YHVH’s new, perfect world begins. I do not pretend to know the timing of all this or what order everything will take place in, but I do know that it is something I look forward to with great anticipation. Being a citizen of heaven allows me to declare with out hesitation, that I will be living in this new world YHVH is Creating, I will be with Him forever, and so will you, if you are a Follower of Yeshua Moshiach.
1 -- For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, Adonai Yeshua Moshiach -- Philippians 3:20.
2 -- And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Moshiach Yeshua -- Ephesians 2:6.
