How to Be Saved in these End Times

In time, when men began to multiply on earth, and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were attractive; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

Adonai said, “My Spirit will not live in human beings forever, for they too are flesh; therefore their life span is to be 120 years.”

The N’filim were on the earth in those days, and also afterwards, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them; these were the ancient heroes, men of renown. (Maftir)

Adonai saw that the people on earth were very wicked, that all the imaginings of their hearts were always of evil only. Adonai regretted that he had made humankind on the earth; it grieved his heart. Adonai said, “I will wipe out humankind, whom I have created, from the whole earth; and not only human beings, but animals, creeping things and birds in the air; for I regret that I ever made them.”

So almost all were destroyed, but the bible says,

But Noach found grace in the sight of Adonai .

B'resheet (Gen) 6:1‭-‬8 CJB https://bible.com/bible/1275/gen.6.1-8.CJB

Finding GRACE

or LOVE

from God makes all the difference.

Enoch was also known to be a righteous man and walked with God, and therefore what happened to him?

In all, Hanokh <Enoch> lived 365 years. Hanokh walked with God, and then he wasn’t there, because God took him. (vii) B'resheet (Gen) 5:23‭-‬24 CJB https://bible.com/bible/1275/gen.5.23-24.CJB

God took him away from death.

Everlasting life is not possible, but with God, all things are possible.

Today, when time is running, I urge you to reconsider what you are living for. My promise is that the ways of goodness contain a joy and peace that keeps on giving. In a way, we are made to find fulfillment in goodness with our new hearts. Therefore, reach your best potential by striving for the Kingdom of God.

Hanokh means dedication. It is singular dedication to God that is the key to salvation.

Even as Jesus sacrificed for us, St Paul urges, you must work out your salvation. We must be dedicated to the path of holiness.

This is the path of true joy. There is in each day the opportunity to start a new life. Every day is a new year, every moment is a new hope. Let us use this new day to do as much good as we van, to love God and love others in the best ways.

My readings:

Look at the most important of orders from Leviticus 26:

“‘You are not to make yourselves any idols, erect a carved statue or a standing-stone, or place any carved stone anywhere in your land in order to bow down to it. I am Yahweh your God. “‘Keep my Shabbat s, and revere my sanctuary; I am Yahweh .

“‘If you live by my regulations, observe my mitzvot and obey them; then I will provide the rain you need in its season, the land will yield its produce, and the trees in the field will yield their fruit. Your threshing time will extend until the grape harvest, and your grape harvesting will extend until the time for sowing seed. You will eat as much food as you want and live securely in your land. (LY: ii) “‘I will give shalom in the land — you will lie down to sleep unafraid of anyone. I will rid the land of wild animals. The sword will not go through your land. You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall before your sword. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand — your enemies will fall before your sword. “‘I will turn toward you, make you productive, increase your numbers and uphold my covenant with you. (RY: v, LY: iii) You will eat all you want from last year’s harvest and throw out what remains of the old to make room for the new. I will put my tabernacle among you, and I will not reject you, but I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people. I am Adonai your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, so that you would not be their slaves. I have broken the bars of your yoke, so that you can walk upright. if you loathe my regulations and reject my rulings, in order not to obey all my mitzvot but cancel my covenant; then I, for my part, will do this to you: I will bring terror upon you — wasting disease and chronic fever to dim your sight and sap your strength. You will sow your seed for nothing, because your enemies will eat the crops. I will set my face against you — your enemies will defeat you, those who hate you will hound you, and you will flee when no one is pursuing you. If these things don’t make you listen to me, then I will discipline you seven times over for your sins. I will break the pride you have in your own power. I will make your sky like iron, your soil like bronze — you will spend your strength in vain, because the land will not yield its produce or the trees in the field their fruit. “‘Yes, if you go against me and don’t listen to me, I will increase your calamities sevenfold, according to your sins. I will send wild animals among you; they will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock and reduce your numbers, until your roads are deserted. “‘If, in spite of all this, you refuse my correction and still go against me; then I too will go against you; and I, yes I, will strike you seven times over for your sins. I will bring a sword against you which will execute the vengeance of the covenant. You will be huddled inside your cities, I will send sickness among you, and you will be handed over to the power of the enemy. I will cut off your supply of bread, so that ten women will bake your bread in one oven and dole out your bread by weight, and you will eat but not be satisfied. “‘And if, for all this, you still will not listen to me, but go against me; then I will go against you furiously, and I also will chastise you yet seven times more for your sins. You will eat the flesh of your own sons, you will eat the flesh of your own daughters. I will destroy your high places, cut down your pillars for sun-worship, and throw your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols; and I will detest you. I will lay waste to your cities and make your sanctuaries desolate, so as not to smell your fragrant aromas. I will desolate the land, so that your enemies living in it will be astounded by it. You I will disperse among the nations, and I will draw out the sword in pursuit after you; your land will be a desolation and your cities a wasteland. Then, at last, the land will be paid its Shabbat s. As long as it lies desolate and you are in the lands of your enemies, the land will rest and be repaid its Shabbat s. Yes, as long as it lies desolate it will have rest, the rest it did not have during your Shabbat s, when you lived there. As for those of you who are left, I will fill their hearts with anxiety in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a driven leaf will frighten them, so that they will flee as one flees from the sword and fall when no one is pursuing. Yes, with no one pursuing they will stumble over each other as if fleeing the sword — you will have no power to stand before your enemies. And among the nations you will perish; the land of your enemies will devour you. Those of you who remain will pine away in the lands of your enemies from guilt over your misdeeds and those of your ancestors. Then they will confess their misdeeds and those of their ancestors which they committed against me in their rebellion; they will admit that they went against me. At that time I will be going against them, bringing them into the lands of their enemies. But if their uncircumcised hearts will grow humble, and they are paid the punishment for their misdeeds; then I will remember my covenant with Ya‘akov, also my covenant with Yitz’chak and my covenant with Avraham; and I will remember the land. For the land will lie abandoned without them, and it will be paid its Shabbat s while it lies desolate without them; and they will be paid the punishment for their misdeeds, because they rejected my rulings and loathed my regulations. Yet, in spite of all that, I will not reject them when they are in the lands of their enemies, nor will I loathe them to the point of utterly destroying them and thus break my covenant with them, because I am Adonai their God. Rather, for their sakes, I will remember the covenant of their ancestors whom I brought out of the land of Egypt — with the nations watching — so that I might be their God; I am Adonai .’” These are the laws, rulings and teachings that Adonai himself gave to the people of Isra’el on Mount Sinai through Moshe. Vayikra (Lev) 26:1‭-‬13‭, ‬15‭-‬46 CJB https://bible.com/bible/1275/lev.26.1-46.CJB

These are simple rules God requires:

Then God said all these words: א “I am Adonai your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the abode of slavery. ב You are not to make for yourselves a carved image or any kind of representation of anything in heaven above, on the earth beneath or in the water below the shoreline. You are not to bow down to them or serve them; for I, Adonai your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sins of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but displaying grace to the thousandth generation of those who love me and obey my mitzvot . ג “You are not to use lightly the name of Adonai your God, because Adonai will not leave unpunished someone who uses his name lightly. ד “Remember the day, Shabbat , to set it apart for God. You have six days to labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Shabbat for Adonai your God. On it, you are not to do any kind of work — not you, your son or your daughter, not your male or female slave, not your livestock, and not the foreigner staying with you inside the gates to your property. For in six days, Adonai made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them; but on the seventh day he rested. This is why Adonai blessed the day, Shabbat , and separated it for himself. ה “Honor your father and mother, so that you may live long in the land which Adonai your God is giving you. ו “Do not murder. ז “Do not commit adultery. ח “Do not steal. ט “Do not give false evidence against your neighbor. י “Do not covet your neighbor’s house; do not covet your neighbor’s wife, his male or female slave, his ox, his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

A: vii) All the people experienced the thunder, the lightning, the sound of the shofar , and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled. Standing at a distance, they said to Moshe, “You, speak with us; and we will listen. But don’t let God speak with us, or we will die.” Moshe answered the people, “Don’t be afraid, because God has come only to test you and make you fear him, so that you won’t commit sins.” So the people stood at a distance, but Moshe approached the thick darkness where God was. (A: Maftir)

Adonai said to Moshe, “Here is what you are to say to the people of Isra’el: ‘You yourselves have seen that I spoke with you from heaven. You are not to make with me gods of silver, nor are you to make gods of gold for yourselves.

Sh'mot (Exo) 20:1‭-‬2‭, ‬4‭-‬23 CJB https://bible.com/bible/1275/exo.20.1-23.CJB

I need to share this because this was my reading yesterday. Proud and evildoers will be set ablaze. The rules at Horev, i have written for you up there. Please do listen to the word of God.

If you cannot be perfectly holy, there is a sacrifice of Yeshue that has bought for us the gift of God's grace, the same grace that saved Hanokh, and the same grace that saved Noah. Be dedicated to follow goodness and the example of Christ in loving and worshipping God thr Father, our Father, Yahweh Elohim.
