“And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, ‘Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her
sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues’” Revelation 18:4.
The call of YHVH Elohim is … “Come
out of her, My people” (From Yirmyahu
- Jeremiah. 50:8, 51:6 & 45).
Within the greater christian community, YHVH
Elohim, (the LORD God), blessed be His Holy Name, has those He calls “My
people,” being those who walk the path of faith and acknowledge Him and
Messiah by His true Name, etc, in addition do not uphold any of the Roman
inspired pagan feast and traditions, etc! From what we have seen happen
throughout the world, the Almighty is calling the rest of those in the churches
who do know about Him to “come out of her,” especially now, as we
are approaching the eve of Elohim's judgement on what is in reality an
“apostate church.”
Lot was warned to come out of Kadom (
The precious Word of Elohim makes it quite
clear that the time will come when the faithful in Messiah must detach
themselves from certain affiliations and identify themselves with the body that
most closely conforms to YHVH Elohim’s ideal in this evil and wicked
world.
We are told “be not partakers” – have no fellowship with that which
has gone away from the Word. But sadly beloved, much of the
“church,” which has entered the pagan domain during the time of
that sun worshipper Constantine, practices and teaches much of the Roman
inspired traditions and that includes its festivals that go back thousands of
years before our Lord was even born on the earth, yet, they made it fit to “ Jesus” somehow and yet that is not even our
Messiah and Saviour, but the name of a pagan god Zeus!, whom YHVH hates. He
clearly commands us “be not
partakers”
“Come Out of Her” – “Become My People”
“Come out of her My
people that you partake not of her sins and her plagues” Revelations 18:4.
This urgent admonition deserves some study and
thought. Presented herein are the actions and identities of the personalities
and conditions spoken of in this rather terse sentence. Careful reading of the
verses before and after our text will contribute greatly to our understanding.
From the account of Noach (
What were the conditions prevalent in those
world systems, which merited separation before the judgements came? Idolatry, sexual perversion, immorality, materialism, hedonism, and
the “Sin of the Nicolatians.” We will now address these
practices individually, although they are never singularly present in any
culture.
Idolatry has many faces. It may be summed up
as worshipping that which is made with human hands and ascribing to these
objects glory that rightly belongs to the Creator. All of us may have
worshipped a new car, boat, house, or possibly deified some sports, fashion,
political, preacher or a personality. Anything that becomes the focus of our
time, affections, and money is well on its way to becoming an idol. Idolatry is
the delight of the evil one haSatan (
Few of us are able to stay focused on anything
for very long. Have you ever tried reading the Word of Elohim whilst watching
TV?
The first social unit established by Elohim
was the family. Sexual sins and immorality constantly tear at its very fabric.
The family unit has always served as the foundation of any society. When this
bedrock is deserted for the shifting sands of the “anything goes”
immorality, society cannot endure very long. In Elohim’s directives,
homosexuality, lesbianism and bestiality are lumped together as being equally
and immediately punishable by death, no situational ethics or closet talk, just
immediate elimination lest the whole of society be corrupted. The stylish
homosexual and lesbian preachers, pastors and bishops in some of today's
churches never preach about judgement and eternal separation from Elohim. To
think of it, how much preaching about personal responsibility, sin, repentance,
the shed blood and salvation have you heard about recently in your fellowship?
“Materialism and hedonism” the
“I want it all, right now” attitude seems to reign in the world!
Any individual, family, or society that lives by this ethic will become
overweight and soon experiences moral bankruptcy. The millionaire always wants
another million. The antique collector is always looking for another classic to
rescue and add to his collection. The New Age follower has many gods and then,
ultimately, declares themselves to be a god, as do certain Pastors do today.
Then there is the “christian” who claims “God gave me two
hundred thousand dollars to set up a perfume business.” Man tends to seek
after the things of self and fulfil their own desires. When the bottom line of
all bottom lines is finally drawn, it comes to this Scripture,
“What does it profit a man to gain the
whole world and lose his own soul” Markus - Mark 8:36.
What is the soul of man really worth? Living a
life according to the Word of Elohim, “running the race” toward
everlasting life, or abandon theirs for almost nothing, much like
The sad truth is,
most of us will devote more time packing for a weekend outing than we invest
considering the ultimate trip. We spend our lives purchasing a ticket to
somewhere and many will be surprised that there is no return or second chance.
What did we pay for our ticket and what did we receive?
“It is appointed unto man once to die
and after that the judgement” Hebrews 9:27.
Beloved, what have you done with the written
and living Word of YHVH Elohim?
“Sin of the Nicolations”
You might ask, “What’s
that?” This sin is mentioned only twice in the scriptures (Revelations
2:6 and 2:15).
“But this you have, that you hate the
deeds (sins) of the Nicolatians, which I also hate” verse 6.
“Thus you also have those who hold the
(sinful) doctrine of the Nicolatians, which thing I hate” verse 15.
When YHVH Elohim, through Messiah and an
angel, tells Yochannan (
In order to keep the people happy and easy to
rule, their temples became the centre of wine, women, (or ‘men’)
and song. Human sacrifice, usually of the firstborn, was also practised in much
the same manner as Balaam worship, as Jezebel of Thyatira, had instituted.
Nimrod, the mighty hunter of the bodies and souls of men, incurred the wrath of
Elohim for saying, “Let us create a name for ourselves and a great walled
city.”
Walls, just as religious dogmas and practices,
are built by religions to keep people in and to be honest, they keep YHVH
Elohim out. If we think of it, we might ask the question, “Would some of
today’s Pastors allow Yochannan (
Remember Yahushua said “call no man
father (priest), you have only one, Elohim in
heaven.” He also told his disciples to be careful to take in that, which
men taught, because these teachers are forever responsible to Elohim for their
every word.
“Woe to him who keeps
NOT My commandments and teaches the least of these so” Mattityahu (
In
Where did these traditions, rituals, and
required observances, originate from? They can all be traced back to the
ancient city/concept of
Hosea describes how the House of Jehu was
destroyed for returning to the ways of Balaam and
Those who desire eternal life,
are admonished by YHVH, “to come out.” Why? For it to have great
effect, the Coming Out will also be a Coming Into something. This
is often referred to as becoming “Sanctified” or “set
apart” for a purpose. There is more to salvation than simple insurance. We
are to be set apart “unto service,” the very work which YHVH Elohim
has prepared for us. To learn what this may be, and how to go about it, we must
go directly to the Word. The Word will bring us to the realisation of what a
terrible price has been paid for our redemption, and what our loving and
obedient response to this great offer of “eternal life” should be.
Any study of the Nicolatians of Revelation is
inseparable and incomplete without examining the Letters to the Seven churches. We should address these churches
individually and learn of their strengths and weaknesses. Their conditions are
found within the plethora of religions in today's world. As the writer of
Ecclesiastics wisely observed:
“The thing that hath been, it is that
which shall be, and that which is done, is that which shall be done, and there
is no new thing under the sun” Ecclesiastes 1:9.
Conclusion
This is a Word received by the author received
on December 20, 1998.
“Tell My children,
rid yourselves from the traditions of men, which has no place in your lives,
traditions which I abhor.’"
And again on January1,
2000.
“I will bless those who heed My voice and repent. But those that continue to hold unto
the traditions of men (the world), I will not bless, nor will I know them.”
We are told “Be not partakers”
– have NO fellowship with that which has gone away from the Word. Sadly,
as most of us are well aware, much of the church has entered a pagan domain
with practices and teachings, which YHVH Elohim hates. “Be not partakers.”
Today Elohim is calling the faithful, the
faithful, the BRIDE of Yahushua to separate themselves unto Him and fellowship
together according the Word. It is time to return to the Elohim of Abraham,
It has been said to me, “but brother
does that mean we have to become like Jewish believers and start a Messianic
Fellowship?” My answer to that is, NO! The tragedy is,
that so many of those Messianic Fellowships are walking according to 1. “pagan based traditions of man.” 2. Or are totally
committed to the Jewish traditions and fully uphold the Rabbinic Laws, which
our Lord and Saviour as well as the apostles fought so hard against, the laws
they greatly opposed, and I am not speaking of the Ten Commandments, being part
of the Torah/OT Law of Moshe ( Moses)! Thus why not become part of a small home
style fellowship in your area.
Fellowship. How and where do we find the perfect place to fellowship? The
answer is simple, whenever we are with those who know the Name of YaHVaH Elohim
and Yahushua the Messiah we will be fellowshipping in perfect harmony! Until
then, we must make every effort to please Elohim when coming together unto Him
in the TRUTH of His Word! The main purpose of coming together unto Him is to
please Elohim, and not just ourselves, for it must be a coming together wholly
directed upon high, to our Creator, just as it was at the time of the apostles,
when all believers (from out of Israel and the nations) worshipped YHVH Elohim
in the name of Yahushua as ONE body, who upheld the seventh day Sabbath and the
Feasts of YHVH as given in Vayikra – Leviticus chapter 23!
But, what should we look for in a fellowship?
What should it teach and what should be its standards? Beloved in Yahushua, let
the precious Word of Elohim be “a lamp to our feet and a light to your path”
(Tehillim - Psalm 199:105). In the Word, we find all the requirements for the
assembling of saints. It will radiate the love of Elohim. Yahushua said,
“All men will know that you are my
disciples IF you love one another” Yochannan - John 13:35.
Obviously, love is paramount. “Whoever
does not love does not know Elohim,” says
Yochannan (
In his great chapter of love, Sha’ul of
Tarsus (
“Praise YHVH! Praise Elohim in His
sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty firmament! Praise Him for His mighty acts;
praise Him according to His excellent greatness! Praise Him with the sound of
the trumpet; praise Him with the lute and harp! Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; praise Him with stringed instruments and
flutes! Praise Him with loud cymbals; praise Him with clashing cymbals! Let
everything that has breath praise YHVH. Praise YHVH!” Tehillim - Psalm
150:1-6.
Uphold the Scriptures – the TRUTH
of His Word!
“Then those who gladly received his word
were baptised; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And
they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the
breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many
wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Now all who believed were
together, and had all things in common” Acts 2:41-44.
“You are my friends IF you do whatever I
(Yahushua) command you” Yochannan - John 15:14.
“Elohim is faithful, by whom you were
called into the fellowship of His Son, Yahushua the Messiah our Lord. Now I
plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Yahushua the Messiah, that
you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that
you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same
judgement” I Corinthians 1:9-10.
“This is the message which we have heard
from Him (Elohim) and declare to you, that Elohim is light and in Him is no
darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in
darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as
He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of
Yahushua the Messiah His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have
no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our
sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His
word is not in us” I Yochannan – I John 1:5-10.
“But I want you to know that the head of
every man is the Messiah, the head of woman is man, and the head of Messiah is
Elohim. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered dishonours
his head. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered
dishonours her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved (a
prostitutes punishment)” I Corinthians 11:3-5 … Read the authors “Are
you Covered?” for further revelation on this subject.
“Let a woman learn in silence with all
submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a
man, but to be in silence” I Timotheos - I
It is obvious that YHVH our Elohim, blessed be
His Holy Name, desires us to “Come out” and then “come
together” and worship Him in spirit and in TRUTH, according to His Word!
Beloved, I pray that this work has challenged
you in a special way. May it lead you into a closer walk with
“For YHVH takes pleasure in His people;
He will beautify the humble with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory,
let them sing aloud on their beds. Let the high praises of Elohim be in their
mouth and a two-edged sword in their hand” Tehillim - Psalm 149:4-6.
“Come out of her, My
people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of
her plagues.”
-
Yahushua.
May YHVH Elohim bless and keep you in the palm of
His hand always, in Messiah Yahushua’s loving Name!
