Living in peace in a time of terror

Many people who claim to believe we are in the end times are very surprised by the terrorist attacks and are shocked by the terrorist attack in Nice, France yesterday and are astonished by the coup in Turkey just a couple of hours ago.  What I'm astonished at is how so many who claim they believe that that the tribulation is very near are so surprised when the events written about in scripture by the prophets of Yahweh and the events Messiah Yeshua said would happen are happening.  Messiah Yeshua said the events would increase in frequency as His return draws near and likened it to a woman in birth pangs. 

Matthew 24
6  You will hear the noise of wars nearby and the news of wars far off; see to it that you don't become frightened. Such things must happen, but the end is yet to come.
7  For peoples will fight each other, nations will fight each other, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various parts of the world;
8  all this is but the beginning of the 'birth-pains.'

The terror events, natural disasters, and other events prophesied in scripture are only going to get worse and are only going to increase in frequency.  Yahweh is still in control and NONE of these events have taken Him by surprise.  Those of us who trust Messiah Yeshua live with a peace among the chaos because we Know He is in control and He will protect us through what He has for us even if it gets worse before the rapture  and will protect us from Yahweh's wrath against the world by removing those of us who follow Him before the tribulation.

Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.  

Those who do not trust Messiah Yeshua and those who are not following Him while claiming they do will soon be in for a world much worse than we currently live in.  The terrorist attacks and wars are only a small glimpse of what is to come during the tribulation.  If you find yourself left behind due to not following Yeshua as your Messiah and you have not understood about Him, you can still be saved and Yahweh will protect you through what you wil have to go through which will include martyrdom by beheading. 

If you have understood Yahweh's salvation plan through Messiah Yeshua and you are left behind due to disobedience, you may not have a second chance since scripture says those who did know the plan of salvation through Messiah Yeshua will be given over to a strong delusion.

2 Thessalonians 2
10  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Those who do not trust in Messiah Yeshua need to repent and trust in Messiah Yeshua for your salvation.  Repent means turning away from your rebellion against Yahweh and follow Messiah Yeshua by obeying Yahweh and His Torah.  If you are reading this before the rapture (will those left behind even recognize the rapture for what it was?) and you repent and follow Yeshua, you will be removed by Yeshua before the start of the tribulation in the rapture.  If you are reading this after the rapture and now understand and trust Yeshua as Messiah, you will go through part of the tribulation before being martyred and Yahweh will give you the strength to do so. 

Whatever happens, do NOT take the mark in your right hand or forehead even if it means starving and unemployment.  Taking the mark will doom you forever.

Revelation 13
15  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Revelation 14
9  And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10  The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11  And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Messiah expects us to obey Him - and He is the Living Torah.   Messiah Yeshua was born of a virgin and was fully God and fully Man (and still is!)    Messiah Yeshua obeyed the Torah and never violated it or taught against it.  Messiah Yeshua died sin free - an unblemished Lamb to atone for the sins of the world and rose again three days later proving He was acceptable to Yahweh as the unblemished Lamb.  Messiah Yeshua expects us to follow Him as He followed His Father - in obedience.  Because we are human, we sin and when we trust in Yeshua as our Messiah,  we have Him as our unblemished Lamb to atone for our sins as well as our Cohen Gadol (High Priest) to mediate between us and Yahweh

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Matthew 7
21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. ^G458

John14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

John15:10  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

1 John 2
3  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4  He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John 5
2  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Revelation 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
