2 2 GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF YAHWEH PART 1 In Mark 1:14-15 we read: Now after John was put in prison, Yahshua came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom of Yahweh, and saying, the time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of Yahweh is at hand: repent you and believe the Good News. Here we find Yahshua stating that you need to believe the good news of the Kingdom of Yahweh. He also requires you to repent. But before you can believe this good news, you need to understand what the Kingdom of Yahweh is all about. Many radio and television preachers know practically nothing of the message Yahshua brought from the Father in heaven which is the best news you could ever hear, understand, and respond to. Millions think the main thrust of the message of Yahshua was to show people how to gain great wealth and riches in this life by faith. Many, if not most, of these same millions seem to think that the main thrust of Yahshua s message was for people to be healed of physical ailments, sicknesses and diseases. Others include the casting out of demons. All of these are important, but that message is woefully incomplete. Now let us explore what the bible says. The Bible shows what Yahweh the Father and Yahshua, His Son, the Messiah, say regarding the Kingdom of Yahweh. WORLD RULING GOVERNMENT OF YAHWEH FORETOLD King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream (Dan. 2). Daniel, under Yahweh s supervision, inspiration and direct intervention provided the king the correct interpretation of that dream. He clearly shows Yahweh, not himself, was the one who gave the message. Dan. 2:28... But there is an Almighty in heaven that reveals secrets, and makes known to the King Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the LATTER DAYS.... Daniel then told the king of the great image the king had seen and finished by saying in verse You saw till a stone was cut out without hands (not by natural means), which smote the image upon his feet.... In verse 35b... and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. After informing the king of the dream, Daniel proceeded with the interpretation. Verse You, 0 king, are a king of kings: for the Almighty of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. This kingdom then was world-ruling as verse 38 shows and Daniel says to the king in verse 38b..." You are this head of gold. (This also shows king is synonymous with the word kingdom.)

3 3 Daniel proceeded to enumerate the successive world-ruling kingdoms. They were, historically: Head of gold Breast and arms Belly and thighs Legs and feet Legs Feet Babylonian empire Medo-Persian empire Greco-Macedonian empire Roman empire Two division of the Roman empire after 220 AD Last revival of Roman empire Now take careful notice of the startling revelation regarding the toes of the image. Daniel 2: And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom (the last end-time emergence) shall be partly strong and partly weak (margin)...and in the days of these kings (ten toes) shall Yahweh of heaven SET UP A KINGDOM, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these (previous) kingdoms, and IT SHALL STAND FOREVER! LISTEN! Almighty Yahweh is telling you something! He is going to have HIS KINGDOM set up. Yahshua, His Messiah, will be its King. And HIS Kingdom will smash into smithereens the last man-made, devil empowered world-ruling empire. Yahshua said BELIEVE IT! It is good news! Continue... Forasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great Almighty has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation is sure." DANIEL'S DREAM In Daniel, chapter 7, is yet another revealing dream that the great Almighty has shown the meaning of. Daniel saw four great beasts coming up from the sea. The sea is a symbol of people, mankind. (Compare Revelation 13:1, and 17;1, 15.) These four beasts represent the same four parts of the image King Nebuchadnezzar had seen. But notice what Daniel said of the 4th beast. Verse 7... After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly...and it had ten horns. Daniel also saw an additional little horn (v-8). The work of this little horn is further described in verses and And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell, even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things...and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them. (Obviously no pre-tribulation rapture.) And the ten horns of this

4 4 (fourth) kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of times. This clearly indicates the saints will be in trouble for 3 1/2 years. Now compare Revelation 13:1-7 and Revelation 17:1-6, 12. We find a beast who had a big mouth against Yahweh, making war with the saints and empowered by the devil. It also shows his time to continue 42 months, or 3 1/2 years. You will also notice even in chapter 13 this individual wins out over the saints. Chapter 17 talks about the blood of the martyrs for Yahshua and a great false church as being drunken with their blood. It also mentions the ten horns as ten kingdoms which will fight against Messiah and lose in verse 14. The passages in Daniel 2 and 7 and in these two chapters of Revelation are talking of the same basic episode in history. Now go back to Daniel 7:13-14, 18, 21-22, And I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought Him near before Him. And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; UNTIL the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him. Did you hear? Do you comprehend? Yahshua Messiah is going to establish His Kingdom on this very earth. When He does, the saints will be resurrected to rule with Him. Revelation 20:4... And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahshua, and for the word of Yahweh, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Messiah a thousand years. Revelation 5:10 says that reign is on this earth! Yes, the Kingdom of Yahweh will smash the final one world social system now being brought swiftly to pass.

5 5 WHAT IS A KINGDOM? It should be obvious from the foregoing that a kingdom must have four basic elements or it would not be a kingdom. A kingdom has to have a king. The king must have a territory over which he has jurisdiction. There has to be subjects living in that territory and a system of laws by which the king rules those subjects. As an earthly kingdom has these four elements, so the Kingdom of Yahweh on earth will have the same. Yahshua is the King of that Kingdom. The whole earth is the territory. All people, nations and languages are the subjects, and He will rule by HIS LAWS and statutes. MESSIAHS KINGDOM AT LAST In all these prophecies, Messiah's Kingdom, the Kingdom of Yahweh, comes last in time order and will last forever. Therefore, the last man-made one world government or social system empowered by the devil himself, a false kingdom masquerading as the Kingdom of Yahweh, will NOT LAST. It will be smashed! It will be destroyed! That is good news! MESSIAH'S RULE AT FIRST The blazing return of Yahshua Messiah in fantastic power and glory will be totally unlike His coming as the lowly carpenter of Nazareth. This time He comes to make WAR! Revelation 19:11, 15- l6... And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He does judge and make ~ And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty Yahweh. And He has on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND MASTER OF MASTERS. KEEP HOLY DAYS Part of the judging and ruling with a rod of iron, which the saints share in ruling with Yahshua, will be to enforce the observance of the days Yahweh made HOLY. So many refuse to observe them today, and millions more know nothing of them at all. This total rule example is found in Zechariah 14: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the King of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the King of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain, there shall be the plague, wherewith YAHWEH will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. This

6 6 shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. Candidly now, does Yahshua think the keeping of His festivals important? Why, oh why, do those who know of these festivals think they can get away with not observing them today? (Write for our free article...major DECEPTION OF SATAN.) Some are deceived today into thinking the weekly Holy Sabbath and annual Holy Days were set aside during this Christian era. But did Yahweh intend that? Did you know that the real Yahshua worked over 18,000 miracles to establish indelibly in the hearts of millions which day of the week was HOLY TO HIM? (Write for our article...is THE SABBATH ESSENTIAL.) Yahshua revealed His way of life to Moses, and that included the weekly and annual HOLY days (Psalms 103:7). What was His intent? Was the observance to be suspended for nearly 2000 years? That question sounds almost foolish. But read what your Bible says in Psalms 105:6-10. This covenant (which included the holy days...see Ex. 23 and 34) was to be EVERLASTING, not suspended!! Believers today are the seed of Abraham through Messiah. The same laws and statutes MUST be written continually in a Believer's heart and OBEYED. After all, since a Believer is to rule with Messiah, how can he be given a command to force nations to keep the feast if he knows nothing about those feasts now, how important they are in Yahweh s plan, what they picture, what they are for, or even how to keep them himself? How could he be used by Yahweh to rule if he is not willing to be ruled today by Yahshua Messiah? Any spirit which tries to tell you that the keeping of Yahweh s weekly and annual Holy Days is not required is a seducing spirit, and you must not listen to that evil spirit of anti-messiah. DURING MESSIAH'S KINGDOM After Yahshua and the resurrected saints have brought the nations to heel, and established Yahweh s laws and peace on this earth, the whole world will rejoice and sing. It will be a gloriously happy time of peace, love, joy, beauty, productivity, and accomplishment. Even the nature of animals will be changed. Cities will be rebuilt, huge reconstruction projects will take place. The reader would be benefited greatly to read and ponder for himself and meditate on this wonderful world tomorrow by reading the following Scriptures...Isaiah 11:6-9; Jeremiah 33:11; Ezekiel 36:33-35; Amos 9:13-14 and all of Isaiah 35. No longer will the art of war be learned, and Jerusalem will be World Capital. Read the inspiring account in Isaiah 2:2-5. Yes, the world tomorrow will be a happy, productive society. After the coming cataclysmic time of war destroying the last end-time social system, then there will be much work preparing the earth for the vast second resurrection at the end of the 1000 year reign.

7 7 Yahshua said believe the good news of the Kingdom of Yahweh. And it is good news, but it has not all been explained. The greatest good news of the Kingdom of Yahweh is to come in part 2. It goes into the very reason WHY you were born and has to do with why Yahshua said repent and believe the gospel. Be sure to read this fascinating revelation. GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF YAHWEH PART II In Genesis 1:1, we find that Yahweh created. The word for God is ELOHIM, a uniplural word such as church, family, or group: One family made up of more than one individual. As you read the chapter you find this Elohim, or Family, created herbs, fruit trees, grass, sea life, cattle, fowl, creeping things...each after its own kind. Then in verse 26 Elohim said... Let US make man in our image, after our likeness and let them have dominion... This clearly shows that Elohim wanted to create man after His own kind. Further, you might notice that man was to have dominion over all except others of mankind. We easily see there is a plant kingdom, fish kingdom, cattle kingdom, bird or fowl kingdom, and the kingdom of mankind. A little above, but in a different dimension, is the angel kingdom. High, very high above all others is the God, or Elohim, Kingdom--or the Kingdom of Yahweh. It could be called the Family of Yahweh or Kingdom Family of Yahweh. Yahweh the Father, and Yahshua the Messiah now make up that family for we see Yahshua existed as Almighty from the beginning and was with Yahweh. Read and ponder John 1:1-3. King Nebuchadnezzar found out that the Yahweh Kingdom ruled over all (see Dan. 4), thus the Kingdom of Yahweh is the universe ruling Family of Yahweh. Man is being created after that kind. Now, man is only the clay model. Man was instructed in the way of the Yahweh Kingdom but was quick to reason around and reject that way, with the assistance of the fallen angel, Lucifer, now become Satan, the Adversary of Yahweh. TEACHING OF YAHSHUA In Mark 1:14-15, Yahshua taught that men should repent and believe the good news of the Kingdom of Yahweh. Later He went on to show that if they really believed and acted on that belief in obedience to His way, that Believers would have rewards apportioned out that were positions of ruler-ship or service. After all, since it is the ruling Kingdom or Family, it would only be natural to have a position of ruler-ship in that Kingdom. Read and ponder Luke 19:11-27.

8 8 MUST BE BORN AGAIN Now we come to a part of the good news that has been a real bug-a-boo, a stumbling block to thousands, perhaps millions, who either refuse to believe, or simply cannot believe what Yahshua plainly taught. Let us turn to this portion of Scripture and see what it says. John 3:3-8...Yahshua said in verse 3... Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of Yahweh. COMMENT: Many today view being born again as the experience of conversion when one receives the Holy Spirit, after repentance, baptism, and the laying on of hands. Many of those think even that is not required as a sign of one's willingness to be obedient and receive the Spirit of obedience. This born again analogy is not, of itself, wrong. For we read how as newborn babes, we should desire the sincere milk of Yahweh s Word in order to grow until Messiah be formed in us. Read and ponder I Peter 2:2; Galatians 4:19; and Ephesians 4: However, for the purpose of this booklet, another analogy, equally as important, and I believe far more-so, will be used. So, please, don't anyone get all bent out of shape. Read, study, consider, and grow in the grace and knowledge of our Savior, Yahshua Messiah. MEANING OF BORN AGAIN In verse 4 of John 3, Nicodemus clearly recognized Yahshua was talking about a literal birth as he equated being born again with entering the womb the second time to be born. Yahshua again made it all the more plain when He said a person has to be born of water, and also of the Spirit. A person cannot see, nor enter the Kingdom of Yahweh unless this particular birth has taken place. Yahshua further states in verse 6... That which is born of the flesh IS flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit IS Spirit. Consider. You were born of the flesh. You had a physical mother and father and you are now flesh. First you had to be begotten, conceived by a male sperm entering a female ovum or egg. At that instant your new life began. You were a new creature, not yet born. You had to grow in the protection of the womb until the time of birth should take place. When the water broke, shortly thereafter you were born. You were composed of flesh, just as your parents. You looked just like your parents in form and shape, but of course smaller. You had a head, two eyes, ears, a nose, mouth, arms, legs, feet, hands, etc. You were not some other ~ You were and are a being of mankind. There is no question at all. That which is born of flesh certainly, faithfully and expectantly IS FLESH! The really good news Yahshua was talking about and wants you to believe is the

9 9 second part of His own statement. It is this good news which seems to go way over the heads of most people. But is our good news is hid, it is hid to them that are being lost: In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious good news of Messiah, who is the image of Yahweh, should shine unto them. (II Corinthians 4:3-4) BORN OF THE SPIRIT How much plainer could Yahshua be? He said, That which is born of the Spirit IS SPIRIT! In I Corinthians 15:44b... There is a natural (fleshly) body, and there is a spiritual body. How simple! When one is born of the flesh, he is composed of flesh, a natural, fleshly body. When one is born of the Spirit, he is composed of spirit! Spirit is invisible. You cannot see angels which are composed of spirit, but they do exist. You cannot see the Father and Yahshua because they are Spirit, composed of spirit, and are in a different dimension than mortal man. The Bible says in John 4:24... Yahweh is a Spirit. Yahshua said you have to be born, become composed of spirit before you can see or enter the Kingdom of Yahweh. In John 3:7, Yahshua told us to not get all bent out of shape (modern vernacular) at what He had said. In verse 8, He gives a crystal clear explanation of what it is like for anyone finally born of the Spirit. The wind blows where it lists, and you hear the sound thereof, but cannot tell where it comes from, and where it goes (it is invisible): SO IS every one that is born of the Spirit. Can you believe Yahshua? He is LIGHT. He is bringing the light of the good news to you in these verses. Can you accept them? Believe Him and your life can be changed for the better. Beware of the condemnation in John 3: BRETHREN OF YAHSHUA Yahshua is not ashamed to call us His brothers, IF we have fulfilled His requirements for receiving and being begotten by the Holy Spirit. Hebrews 2: For both He that sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren. Yes, now, if you are being led by the Spirit of Yahweh (Romans 8: 14) you are a son of Yahweh. Then in I John 3:1-2a... Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of Yahweh: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew Him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of Yahweh... Think! We can now be called sons, NOT YET BORN, but begotten, because we are still flesh. Yet none of the angels are sons the way men can be when born into the Kingdom Family of Yahweh. (Heb. 1:4-5). Those born of Yahweh will be above the angels and judging angels. (I Corinthians 6:2) Satan hates this good news. He will do everything in his power and deception to keep it from you.

10 10 GREATER THAN ANGELS As a born son of Yahweh in the Kingdom of Yahweh s Family, you will be far greater than the angels. You will possess what angels do not possess. You will possess IMMORTALITY! Notice that you are to seek for immortality. Romans 2:7... To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: Did you understand? If you seek immortality by patient continuance in OBEDIENCE to the law of Yahweh, He will give you eternal life. Immortality is to be sought for. You cannot earn it by your works. Neither will it be given to you if you do not repent of your wrong works and begin to obey Yahweh s good works. Yahweh will not save anyone He cannot govern. Paul wrote to Timothy that Yahshua has abolished death, and has brought life and immortality to light through the good news. (II Timothy 1:10) Immortality is something you need to seek for. You must become born of the Spirit, become immortal Spirit. Otherwise, as long as you are flesh, you cannot inherit the Kingdom of Yahweh. PUT ON IMMORTALITY Paul plainly states this wonderful good news in I Corinthians 15:50, Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood CANNOT inherit the Kingdom of Yahweh; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. For this corruptible (fleshly) body composed of physical corruptible materials) must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on IMMORTALITY. Yes, at the last trumpet, at the of the resurrection of the just, that is when you will be born again. You will be born again from the dead even as Yahshua. BORN AGAIN AS YAHSHUA Yahshua is the forerunner. What happened to Him will happen to us and He is called the FIRSTBORN among many brethren. (Romans 8:29) But notice how Yahshua was born again. Colossians 1:18... And He (Yahshua) is the head of the body, the assembly: who is the beginning, the FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD: that is all things He might have pre-eminence. Since Yahshua was the FIRST to be born from the dead, the rest of His brethren will follow after at the time He returns I Corinthians 15:20, But now is Messiah risen (born again) from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept (in death). But every man in his own order: Messiah the first fruits; afterward they that are His at His coming. And only those who are His! How plain it is. We are to be born again from the dead even as Yahshua was...by a resurrection to immortality.

11 11 IMMORTAL SONS OF YAHWEH The incredible good news is that you and all mankind have the opportunity to be born into the Kingdom Family of Yahweh as literal sons, immortal sons. Carefully note the statement Timothy was told in I Timothy. 6: 16...speaking of Yahshua Messiah in verse who only has IMMORTALITY, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Halleluyah. Yahshua is Almighty. Only Yahweh, those in the Kingdom of Yahweh, have immortality. When you are born into that Kingdom, you will become IMMORTAL SPIRIT, a full born son of Yahweh. You will be IMMORTAL, higher than the angels by far. Let's make this really plain. My father, Clyde Trescott, was married to my mother, Florence. The two made up the Trescott family. It was one family with more than one, actually two persons in it. Then my sister, later my brother, and, lastly, I were begotten, grew in our mother's womb and finally, at the proper time, each of us was born into the Trescott family. We were children of the family even in the womb, but not yet born. When we were finally born we were very much a living part of the Trescott family. Each of us is as much a Trescott as our father and mother. So it will be when we are resurrected, born into the Kingdom Family of Yahweh. We will be lesser in authority than the Father or Yahshua, nevertheless able to enjoy the prestige, and all the privileges of the Kingdom of Yahweh. Notice Revelation 21:7... He that overcomes shall inherit all things and I will be his Almighty, and he shall be my son. When born into the kingdom we will be literal sons, not some lesser being. And we shall inherit all things the Kingdom of Yahweh owns. NOT ANGELS You will be on a much higher plane than the angels of Yahweh. Though now you are a little lower than angels, when finally born again, you will be far higher than angels. Those so born will be immortal sons of Yahweh, on the Yahweh plane, far above the angel kingdom. For unto which of the angels said He at anytime, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you? And again I will be to him (angel) a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? (Hebrews 1:5) Even Yahshua never said we would be angels. He said, in answer to a question regarding marriage in the resurrection, For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of Yahweh in heaven. (Matthew 22:30) Angels do not marry. Neither will those born into the Kingdom of Yahweh. This

12 12 Scripture does not say we will be angels. LIFE GIVING SONS Those fully born sons of Yahweh, members of the Yahweh Kingdom, will be IMMORTAL. Angels are created beings composed of spirit and can be destroyed, but can live forever if not destroyed. However, immortal Sons cannot be destroyed. As an immortal son, you have life inherent within yourself, as every member of the Yahweh Kingdom has. You will be able to create life, to give life! We all will be made life giving spirits even as Yahshua was. I Corinthians 15:45... And so it is written, the first Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam (Messiah) was made a quickening (life-giving) spirit. Can your mind even begin to comprehend the magnitude of the high calling of Yahweh in Messiah Yahshua? Nothing is more important! No wonder we all must love our Creator above all else, and above ourselves. COMMENT: Satan, when he was Lucifer, wanted to replace Yahweh, wanted to knock Yahweh off His throne. He rebelled against Yahweh s laws and government, and led a rebellion against Yahweh with one third of the angels deceived into thinking they could win. But they lost, and were cast down to this earth. When born into the Kingdom of Yahweh, we do not replace Yahweh the Father or His Son, Yahshua the Messiah. We are not in rebellion for, by the Holy Spirit in us, we are conforming to the government of Yahweh, obeying His laws. No, we are not replacing Yahweh, but being added freely to His Family as full born again sons. And Yahweh Himself is the very One who is adding us to His Family. WHAT THEN? At the seventh and last trumpet, all slated for the first resurrection will be changed from mortal to immortal, from flesh to spirit. (I Corinthians 15:51-53) But notice what else happens at the time of the dead being resurrected and born into the Kingdom of Yahweh as ruling sons of Yahweh. Revelation 11:18; 20:4, 6... And the nations were angry, and your wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that You should give reward unto your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear your name, small and great...and I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahshua, and for the Word of Yahweh, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Messiah a thousand years. Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of Yahweh and of Messiah, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

13 13 Your destiny for the first 1000 years as a son of Yahweh, is to rule with Messiah. You will have been born into the RULING KINGDOM OF YAHWEH! Your reward is that of ruler-ship. And that means a reward of service, a servant of those you rule. Yahshua said He went back to heaven to prepare a place for you. He is preparing your place of service as a priest or king and He is preparing mine. After the time period of perhaps 1100 years, when the Kingdom on this earth is finally turned over to the Father, He says... Behold, I make ALL THINGS NEW! We will all have an active part in that incomprehensible undertaking! HOW TO ENTER Since the goal is so great, how does one ever qualify to be born into the Kingdom of Yahweh? Does Yahweh have requirement? Indeed, He does. Fulfilling those requirements does not earn you son-ship. Yahweh s requirements are those things you must do before He will give you this fantastic son-ship. Your good works then earn you position and reward. Read and ponder Luke 19, concerning the parable of the pounds. But what are the basic requirements? Yahshua said in Mark 1:15, Repent you, and believe the good news. Yahshua said in Mark 16: Go you into all the world and preach the gospel (the good news you have been reading from your Bible) to every creature. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved. Yahshua said in Matthew 28:19... Go you into all the world and teach (make disciples of) all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: Yahshua said in Luke 24:47, Repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Yahshua inspired Peter to say in Acts 2:38, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yahshua Messiah for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Yahshua inspired to be written about those in Samaria who had been baptized in Acts 8:17... Then laid they (the apostles) their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. It is very clear that the requirement is for you to repent. You must repent of sinning. Repent means to change direction. You must change from breaking Yahweh s laws (sin is the transgression of those good and holy laws) to obeying them. You must then be

14 14 baptized and have the laying on of hands to receive Yahweh s precious Holy Spirit as His gift to you by which you will then have the power of love to obey all of Yahweh s commandments, statutes, and laws, Then you must continue in doing what Yahweh commands. You will obey out of a heart of love for what Yahshua did in being put to death in your stead because you had broken Yahweh s holy law. Now you must seek to do Yahweh s will, not your own, and love Him with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind and with all your strength. You will be tested and tried to see if you will obey Yahweh under all situations. By enduring to the end of your life, obeying, loving Yahweh above all else, you will be born into the Kingdom Family of Yahweh by a resurrection from the dead. You are told to count the cost in Luke 14: You would do well to read it and ponder the importance of the decision you now face. And now (Deuteronomy 30:19)... I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore CHOOSE LIFE, that both you and your seed may live: The choice is up to you, but you must choose. You have been given a call by your living Creator as you have read this booklet and His Word. He commands you to choose LIFE. We pray that you will respond affirmatively to that call and finally be BORN into the glorious Kingdom of Yahweh.
