SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM
The theme of this year’s Feast of Tabernacles at Eaton Rapids is found in Matthew 6. Starting with verse 31 we read: “Therefore do not be anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first His kingdom and righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Life at a very basic level hinges on food, shelter and clothing. Here Yahshua is telling us that seeking His kingdom should be a higher priority than these…

SALVATION – HOW?
Sin 1. Why do we have such pollution, sickness, accidents, death in war, adultery, poisonous spraying to prevent wormy fruit, deformed babies, and loss of respect, etc.? Deuteronomy 28:15. Read the rest of this chapter to see the curses. 2. How can we receive blessings instead of curses? Deuteronomy 28:1-2, Exodus 15:26. Read of blessings in Deuteronomy 28:3-14, Leviticus 26:1-13. 3.

SALVATION
The time line for all human beings is upon us. We must realize there will be a stopping point, a day of reckoning, when we must make the decision to follow in Yahshua’s footsteps. The marriage concept is in the scriptures. Why would Yahweh use this concept? He knew almost all civilization would or could understand this relationship. This covenant was instituted in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve. Marriage is honourable in all, Hebrews 13:4. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And he saith unto me, Write,…

WATER BAPTISM
By C. O. Dodd Many beliefs are prevalent concerning Christian baptism among the Roman Catholics and Protestant sects and orders. Some sprinkle a little water upon the head of the candidate, and call that baptism. Some immerse the person in water, some once, and some thrice. Some claim water baptism is not essential. These various teachings cause confusion, but this may be dispelled when the word of Yahweh is taken as authority. Paul says, in Eph. 4:5, regarding the faith, that like as there is but one Yahweh, (or one Master) so there is but one baptism — “One Yahweh, one faith, one baptism,” and not many. Baptism is very…

JUDGMENT IS COMING
“Are you ready, are you ready, are you ready for the judgment day?” Words in a song most of us are familiar with. The stanza implies that all creation needs to prepare for a Judgment Day. Are these words backed up in the scriptures? Yes, please read the following. Ecclesiastes 3:17 – I said in mine heart, Elohim shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. Yahweh will judge his people. Deuteronomy 32:36 – For Yahweh shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants … Psalm 50:4 – He shall call to the heavens from above,…

AMERICA…SCATTERED ISRAEL = ABRAHAM’S SEED
What happened to the blessings the United States of America had in the past? The most prosperous nation in the world has resorted to borrowing money to stay in business; borrowing more than the gross national product of a year in 2011; with government officials unable to get together to solve problems. Is this a blessing or cursing according to Deuteronomy 28? Floods, forest fires, drought, sandstorms; famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places (Matthew 24:7). Famine in Africa, with millions of people misplaced in overflowing refugee camps. Tropical storms/hurricanes traveling up the eastern coast of the U.S. and the Gulf of Mexico (Luke 21:25), with multiple deaths and…
