THE END GAME In most of these videos I talk about why we were created. Everything that we go through revolves around this. In regards to everything that has to do man-kind, the root of the answers to any question can be traced back to why we were created. Gen 1:26 And Elohiym said, I will make man in my likeness to resemble my character. This is why we were created. It does not happen when we are born; it is a process that we must choose to go through. If you want to understand sickness or disease or natural disasters or why satan was given power to deceive us or anything else that has befallen man, you must examine it from this foundational truth. There is no other way to understand why these things have been allowed. The same is true for the coming time of tribulation and understanding why is He sending His wrath to this planet that we call earth. From this basis, we can then understand why He has held it back His wrath until now. All of these questions can be answered by examining them in lieu of the end result of why we were created. It is all about the end game. The here and the now is necessary to serve His purpose of building His family. He gave us life to accomplish that which He determined. He determined to build a family that was programed with His character. In order to accomplish this design, He had to give us free will. There was no other way, in order for His character to become our very essence; it has to enter into us through a process of free will choices. His character is the only thing that He could not create from nothing. His character can only be reproduced in our inner most being through a process of being programed that involves our choices and our actions that are based on those choices. Here is the catch; all decisions that we make must be based on the end game if we are to receive the correct programming. We cannot choose our own paths or any of satan’s paths and arrive at the end product which is being made in His likeness. Any other programing leads to a corrupted end product. I recently was asked a good question. The question was based on this person’s observance that more trials seem to fall on those who are genuinely seeking to follow their Elohiym but maybe are off track. They wanted to know why this group seems to suffer more than even the atheists do. This person pointed out to me that those who are following Him are focused on His word and the atheists have zero focus on His word. So why do they have the trials and hardships? I answered that they are not following Him. If they were following Him, then they would not be off track. They followed a detour sign or maybe even several detour signs along the way and the source of all detour signs is satan. This is why he is here and why he is empowered to do what he does. Saul of tarsus’s teachings are the Granddaddy of all detours but this is another subject. So although these people might be claiming to follow Elohiym, they are in fact following satan in his cleverly designed schemes. YEHWEH has allowed for this because it was necessary for His design to accomplish what He determined. The life that we are given in the flesh is a testing ground and a proving ground. John 16:33 33 These things I have spoken to you in order that in me you will have peace. IN THE WORLD YOU WILL HAVE AFFLICTION: but have courage; I have overcome the world. Notice the choice; in Him we will have peace but if we are in the world we will have affliction. This is why we are called out of the world and we are to live in Him and Him in us. Is Yehshua saying that even if we are found in His Father’s will and favor that we are going to have trials and temptation? People like to quote the story of Job to support this erroneous idea but a careful study of the book of Job reveals that He admits at the end of the story that He could not even see who Elohiym is. He said, “Now my eyes are able to see you” His understanding of His name was just based on what he had heard of Him. He did not know Him intimately and it is His will that we all do know Him this way and that He would become our Father. The trials were to bring Job to Him. Before this, Job was just righteous on a physical plain and it was his own righteousness based on his obedience. The point is, Job needed some serious trials to bring him from his self-righteousness to understand Elohiym’s righteousness. The same is true with us. As long as we stay on the path, listening to our Creator’s instructions and obeying Him, He molds and fashions us in His image. Yet in order to be programmed with His righteousness, we have to hunger for the spiritual intent behind His instructions as well. It is much more than following Him on a physical plain. And in this process, we cannot decide right from wrong for ourselves, if we do, we go off course. He is the master potter. The clay cannot tell the potter how it is done. Yet, He allows for us to go our own way because He had to in order to accomplish that which He has purposed. He was looking for a certain mind set to build His temple with. In the story of Job, it was actually Job’s genuine desire and his fear of being out of Elohiym’s will that prompted Elohiym to allow satan to sift him. Job just had some lessons to learn, just like we do if we are off of the path of learning to understand the depths of His character that He wants to teach us. But it was his pride that was getting in the way of being able to see his error; this is why he had to be humbled. The fact that man has gone his own way is the reason why we have the calamities in the world that we have. If we go our own way, we forsake His protective wings and His nurturing care. Satan was allowed to put up the detour signs because in order for Elohiym’s character to become ours, it had to be rooted in a desire and a hunger to be perfected by Him. It was drawn up that we have to overcome. People want to examine why we have the calamities from a perspective that He owes us something. What does He owe us? Just because He created us, does He owe us eternal life in His family? Would you want somebody who opposes you in your family? Would you want that which causes hurt and heartache in your family? No and neither does He. He wants those who will flee from everything that leads to a different kind of righteousness than His perfect righteousness. And He wants us to flee from everything that dismantles perfect love. His love is pure and genuine and He wants us to experience it and to dwell in it with Him for eternity. Man-kind lives by a pseudo-righteous code that came from satan. Instead of examining themselves for why we have the affliction and seeking to change to be made in His image in lieu of them, most wonder why we have them from their own perspective. Why is this? It is because man does not want to have to be held to a higher standard. They choose to feel good about themselves comparing themselves to others instead of comparing themselves to why they were created. Back to the atheist versus the one who claims to follow Him but is off track. Which grieves Him more? The atheist might not have even been called by Him. The person who claims to be following Him is full of hypocrisy because they are following satan because they chose to follow his detours. I liken it to a pilot car. Which pilot car are you following? I heard a good analogy once, if Elohiym is your copilot, you had better switch seats with Him and let Him be the pilot. This is true. But in lieu of this, why do people follow the detours instead of following their Creator? It is because they love the darkness rather than the light. Their Creator’s path takes them away from their life so they look for another way so that they can hold onto their lives and still claim that they are following Him. This is abominable to Him because He knows that all other paths lead to the lake of fire. So He gave us trials and hardships to turn us around or to turn us to Him. They are the signs that the bridge is out, turn around. But the atheists still have trials as well and so do all who have ever lived. One of the most obvious signs is we all die. It is hard to discuss this subject in depth in just one video so instead of explaining the answer to every question concerning the woes of man-kind, I am just giving you the key to the answers and this is understanding the end game. If you can understand that all man has gone away from His path from the beginning except a very small flock who have hungered for it, then you can understand why things are as they are. In His design to build His family, He purposed to build His family in three phases. These phases are represented in His three Harvest Feasts that we are commanded to observe to teach us about these phases. The first phase led up to the time that the Messiah would come. During this phase, He molded those who became the 24 elders after Yehshua’s resurrection and He became His first born Son. During this phase, satan and his cronies were on the prowl but in a more limited way than he was after Yehshua’s murder when He was given more power. During this time, YEHWEH manifested himself in different ways to those who became these elders such as Moses and Abraham. But for the most part, He was hands off and let man go their own way if they chose to. He singled out Abraham’s descendants to build phase two through, yet He made a provision for outsiders to be engrafted into Israel as well. Apart from Yehshua and the 24 Elders who are at the throne now, no one else that came from mankind is in heaven. The rest sleep and are awaiting a resurrection. Through both phases one and two, He has been building His temple which is the 144,000 summer harvest represented by the feast of first fruits. Phase two involved a renewed covenant that is represented by Yehshua’s blood. Both covenants required us to repent or to turn from our ways to walk humbly with our Creator on His path which is His Torah. These 144,000 forsook their lives for His kingdom’s sake because they came to His call and placed their focus on the end game, being made in their Elohiym’s image. Now His temple is built and we are fast approaching phase three which will lead up to the latter fall harvest. During this phase, satan will be bound except for a short season at the end of it. He will be let loose to try and to test the latter harvest but those who live during the 1,000 years will have been molded by their Creator’s design apart from satan’s’ influence. But they will be warned about his release. At the end of the 1,000 years, there will be a great resurrection of the dead who have lived and then there will be a final trying and purging process known as the great white throne of judgment. I do not know all of the details of how this will work out but many from all walks of life will be given the opportunity to know and to choose their Elohiym so that they can be given eternal life if they will choose His ways. And the reality is, many will be resurrected to judgment because they committed the unpardonable sin or many that are resurrected will choose judgment by rejecting His offer to be made in His image, this is the second death. The reason that I am briefly explaining this today is it is all about the end game regardless of which phase that you live in. You have to choose to want to be the end product, made in His image. There is a famous saying, begin with the end in mind. We must begin each day with this end in mind. We must begin each thought with this end in mind; this is what bringing every thought into subjection to His will is. We must go to sleep each night with this end in mind and meditate on this end in the night watches. It must be our focus and we must walk humbly with our Elohiym 24/7 so that this end can be realized so that we can one day leave this flesh and be in His family forever. Here are just a few of Yehshua’s instructions; Matt 5:48 48 Therefore be perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matt 6:22-23 22 The light of the body is the eye: therefore, IF YOUR EYE IS SINGLE, then your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is evil, then your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, then great is this darkness! Most of you do not think of yourself as being evil just because your eye is not focused on what it takes to enter into His kingdom. This is because you do not fear not obtaining and you do not desire to be made in His image. He explains in this verse that any other light is darkness and it is evil. Matt 6:33 Seek first the kingdom of Elohiym, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things will be given to you. Our priority must be seeking His kingdom and His righteousness. Is this your priority? I keep getting asked; but we all sin, so how do we keep from sinning? Even the answer to this question can be found in understanding the end-game and examining our thoughts through this paradigm shift; Our focus must be on the end-game and blocking out the things that can lead us into sin. If we are focused on the end game, then we are focused on being made in His image so that we can be in His kingdom, and there is no time for sin. This focus teaches us to loathe sin and to loathe that which can lead us to sin. When it rears its ugly little head, we chop it off because we are focused on being found in our Creator’s favor and we are bringing every thought into subjection to His will. If this is our focus, then our hunger is that His will is done in our lives and it is His will that we learn His righteousness and that we live it and that it becomes the source for our righteousness. If we are delighting in Him and his path, then we are not flirting with the enemy, and He protects us from him. If this is the case, we live under His wings of protection. It is all part of a process but the process is based on our focus and our hunger if His will is to become our will. If we are receiving the wrong programming, then the end result is sin. When the trials or the temptation comes our way, we need to seek to understand why He is allowing them and not justify ourselves. Which of you would want your children to go hungry or have their home wiped out by a tornado? Which of you would give your son or your daughter a stone if they asked for bread? How much more so does our Father who sits on His throne want to provide for and to protect those who are His children? But if we have left His path or never came to it in the first place, then it is love to send us the warnings and the correction. The trials and tribulations and the sifting by satan are the warnings that we have taken a detour. They are a sign that we are behind the wrong pilot car. Those who have not been called have no reason for the warnings, yet they will still be held accountable for rejecting Him. Yet these calamities are for them as well to eventually be used to bring them into agreement with Him if they will. It is just that those who claim to follow Him but follow satan instead are going to be held to a different level of judgment. He is just and He is righteous and He knows all things. He has this all worked out and it is all in His perfect timing. All that we as individuals can do is being focused on the end game. If this is our focus, then we are automatically focused on what He has given to us to give us entrance into His Kingdom. He gave us His instructions, it is His Torah. His Son said; John 14:6 I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE: NO MAN COMES UNTO THE FATHER, EXCEPT THROUGH ME. And He was His Father’s word in the flesh. His word teaches us His character; it was given to us to mold us in His image. The night before He was murdered, Yehshua kept repeating for His disciples to keep the commandments. Everything is conditional on this, He made this clear. Even His blood covering our transgressions is conditional on keeping the commandments. I say this because in order for His blood to be applied on your behalf, you have to have real repentance which is leaving your path for His Father’s path. And His Father’s path includes His commandments, statutes, judgments and ordinances. He never said that His grace is sufficient, that was Saul of tarsus’s blasphemous words that Saul claimed that He spoke. He never even mentioned the word grace once in regards to salvation. If you have your focus on a different end game than being molded and fashioned and programmed in your Creator’s likeness, be ready to be introduced to His indignation.
