The ARK OF THE COVENANT continued...

Before He died, YAHUSHUA carefully explained the transition from the "old covenant" to the "new covenant"- any and all changes were explained and foretold by Him. He delivered the doctrine to man Himself, and then the time came when He ascended to Heaven, to the right side of His Father. From that moment on, there would be NO changes made in the faith that He had personally delivered. Yet, very, VERY soon there began to creep into the body of believers heresies and false teachings. The attempt to popularize Christianity led to the transference of pagan traditions to the practices of the church. This continued until the true faith was almost unrecognizable. Those of the true faith were once again forced to hide; they suffered the greatest persecution NOT at the hands of pagans but at the hands of those who had perverted the faith.

Many are of the belief that since the gift of eternal life is free, that we have to do nothing to obtain it but ask. It would not be a "covenant" if this were the case- a "covenant" is an agreement between 2 parties with stipulations which both sides must meet. Eternal life is a free gift because we can do absolutely nothing to earn it. But we must cooperate with YAHUVEH in our own salvation, and this requires that we study His Word and KNOW what is His truth and what is the "doctrine of men". We CANNOT compromise after the great sacrifice that has been made on our behalf.

The plan has been set into action to undo the work of those who fought so fiercely for the preservation and restoration of the true faith. The plan is what some have referred to as a "one world religion", but it is actually a plan for all the "churches" to unite under "common points of doctrine", for the purpose of "spreading the Gospel of YAHUSHUA Messiah". But this "unity", which WILL in some form come to pass, will ultimately NOT revolve around "common points of doctrine", but instead it will involve COMPROMISE. To the masses of believers who have remained in ignorance of the true Biblical teachings and taught instead the theories of men, they will think this new found unity of the "church" is of YAHUVEH. They will see it as the answer to the spiritual "death" that has come upon the world.

But like a serpent slowly slithering in the grass, undetectable to the eye, the true character of this "unified church" will begin to unfold. The little compromises made by all of the churches in the beginning will soon be met with bigger and more radical ones. But the ball will already be rolling and none will be able to back out. Then suddenly, the "serpent" strikes- liberty of conscience will be no more. Religious laws will be issued which, although seemingly "good and moral", will NOT be exactly as YAHUVEH Spoke them from Mt. Sinai, and then wrote with His Own Finger.

Those who accept this "unified apostate church's" version of YAHUVEH'S law and comply with it receive the "mark of the beast" "in their forehead"- which is symbolic of their rejection of YAHUVEH'S Law. Those who willingly comply with it although recognizing that it is opposed to YAHUVEH'S Law, receive this "mark" "in their hand", which symbolizes their "knowing" disobedience to YAHUVEH'S Law in order to avoid persecution. But those who comply with YAHUVEH'S Law and reject this altered "version" do NOT receive this "mark", which simply means they are considered by civil authorities to be lawbreakers. This has happened in the past to those who refused to compromise their faith and it WILL happen again. They cannot buy or sell. The reason they cannot buy or sell is because everything they own is confiscated.

Without money, you cannot buy. When you own nothing, you have nothing to sell. YAHUVEH'S people are those who "cannot buy nor sell". But the rest of the world looks at this group as they looked at Christ and jeered,"If you're the Son of YAHUVEH, SAVE yourself! Come down off of that cross!"

This is an event of world-wide extent which will encompass the countries of the globe before it is over. Right now, the governments of the world are in league to regulate peace efforts, and environmental and trading practices. But behind the scenes, the foundation is already laid for the presenting of a set of "universal spiritual laws". And it is now that the last call is going out:

REV 18:2 ...Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.4.... come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
