False shepherds and wolf infiltration of Christianity





There are many who claim to be Christians that will be left behind when the rapture happens because they refuse to obey God's instructions. There are a lot of people who cry we are all close to the end and we need to get along with anyone who names the name of Jesus. This dangerous and false teaching is why many will be left behind - even those who believe they will be taken.

Messiah Yeshua strongly warns about those who thought they were His but will be rejected by Him:



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.

There are those who are falsely teaching that it does not matter what you do that you will be raptured if you name the name of THE LORD. The bible does not state anyone who names the name of Jesus will be saved but those who calls on Him as LORD - BIG DIFFERENCE.

Even satan knows Jesus is the Messiah but he is not saved (nor can he ever be) satan has knowledge of Yeshua as Messiah but does not call on Him as LORD of his life.

Having someone as your Lord says you will OBEY that person's rules- think of like a landlord where you agree to obey the rental agreement.

It does not matter what apostle or bible passage you quote (or misquote) if it does not line up with ALL of scripture then either scripture is wrong or your interpretation is wrong.

Many love the easy believism and want to accept wolves and demons into their fellowships - and then turn around and wonder why there is so much apostasy. Both Messiah Yeshua and the apostle Paul warned of the wolves that will infect fellowships and Christianity in the end times yet the people love the wolves and demons as long as "everyone gets along" in spite of the heretical and false doctrines those wolves and demons bring into the fellowship.


Messiah Yeshua called out the pharisees that were teaching lies mixed in with the truth. Yahweh sent prophets and watchmen to warn the people to stop the false worship of Him and the people wanted to continue to worship Yahweh THEIR way and ignored - and actually put to death - the prophets of Yahweh. It is the very same today - you have those that love the demons and wolves that stroke their egos and gives a false sense of fellowship when they are actually leading people to hell with their false doctrines.


Ezekiel 3
17  Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18  When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19  Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20  Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21  Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.


There will be MANY MANY people who are watching for the rapture and who believe they are doing things "for Jesus" yet He will reject them because of their disobedience. Those who teach others they can disobey and still be saved will suffer the same pentalty as the wicked because they failed to warn them of the danger.

I'm very concerned with those who love to worship with wolves and demons without warning anyone about false teachings and false doctrines.  Their concern is "for the lost because they will see people cvalling each other out", etc. - that is their concern instead of concern whether or not truth is being taught.  It does believers no good to "accept Jesus" if the continue in their sins (because of the demonic Once Saved Always Saved doctrine) and continue down the broad road to hell.  Those who follow the lies that are throughout "christianity" will be held accountable because they made a statement of faith.  Messiah Yeshua calls the false teachers who teach false doctrines pharisees and says those those false teachers "convert" are twice the child of hell that those false teachers are.

Matthew 23
13  But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.


Those who refuse to speak up against false teachings and false teachers "for the sake of unity within the body" are just as guilty for the souls that are misled by the lies of the wolves.  If someone believes the lies of "doctor" Andy Woods that they will be raptured even if they were backsliding and that person does not repent thinking that it doesn't matter - if that person is left behind then their soul is not just on Andy Woods, it is also on the person who did not warn them when Yahweh said to warn them.

Not everyone is instructed to warn the sheep - but those that are are doing as Yahweh instructs and they should not be judged for it by those who are not.  Yahweh gives different gifts and talents to people and everyone who is TRULY saved needs to work together - which includes keeping demons and wolves out of the fellowships.  As it is now, there are numerous "fellowships" that are so demon infested and nobody is keeping the demons out --- you have people who whore after false prophets, lying signs, spread false prophecies, into astrology, etc. yet for the "sake of unity" and "fellowship" nothing is being done to protect the others from the false teachings, prophecies, etc.  Not all wolves are as obvious as a Joel Osteen or a Benny Hinn - some have better fitting sheep clothes than they do.  Some are obviously heretics while others take more discernment to see they are not a sheep.  Just because they have better sheep clothes does not make them less of a wolf!



I am so done with the fake church and fake "christians" - most who are watching for the rapture and will be extremely unhappy and surprised when the door is shut behind them and Yeshua has cast them into the tribulation because they did not repent of their sins - sin being defined as disobedience to Yahweh's instructions which are found throughout the bible.

If you are believing the lies that Christians do not have to obey Yahweh - you really need to read and understand what Messiah Yeshua taught (and not the words of Paul twisted to mean the opposite of what He taught)

I have broken these verses down before although it needs to be done again:

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.


There are people who will call Messiah Yeshua 'Lord' but not all of them will enter the kingdom of heaven.  This contradicts the false teaching that all you need to do is recite a prayer or "ask Jesus into your heart" and you will always be saved (and therefore raptured)
Matthew 7
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?

Many of these people who call Messiah Yeshua Lord and will not enter the kingdom (and therefore obviously not raptured) and not carnal or backsliding "christians" - many of them are in ministry and doing things "for Him" including [false] prophecies, casting out demons, and other things (like making youtube videos?  and predicting rapture dates?)

Matthew 7
23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

This should scare many more professing "christians" than it does.  MANY people who call Messiah Yeshua 'Lord' and are doing ministry "for Him" will be REJECTED by Him because they did not obey what Yahweh instructed them to do.  Verse 21 says they are rejected for not doing the will of the Father and verse 23 calls whis INIQUITY.  Strongs definition of iniquity states it is a violation of the law either due to ignorance or contempt of it.

Those who teach that just "naming the name of Jesus" is enough and "anyone who calls on Jesus" is saved does NOT understand what the scripture says.  Calling on the name of THE LORD means you follow / OBEY Him.  Those who believe that they do not have to obey the Shepherd are not sheep - they are GOATS.  Sheep follows the Shepherd while goats are off doing their own thing.  Goats have their own agenda while sheep listen to and obey the Shepherd.

Sheep follow the Shepherd                      Goats have their own agenda and do not follow


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.

Revelation 12:17  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The ambiguity of the Passover date and its significance

Most people who claim to be Christians ignore studying scripture and, instead, rely on learning scripture from those who learn from others instead of from scripture.  These people look at scripture through a hellenistic mindset which often skews the meaning. 

Since Passover is next month, this is a good time to post about what Yahweh has shown me from studying scripture.

Just a quick review that when Yahweh commanded the Passover feast be kept, He said the lamb - a male in it's first year - could be taken from the sheep OR from the goats.  I find that this shows that Yeshua will die for the whole world: both the saved and unsaved.  This counters the false teaching of calvanism that claims Yeshua only died for those who would be redeemed.

Exodus 12
1  And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2  This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3  Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
4  And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
5  Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:


When studying, and thinking, for yourself there are many questions that come up that Yahweh will reveal the answers to as you study.  One thing that is extremely important to remember is that a day, according to Yahweh, starts at sunset and not midnight and not in the morning.  There are MANY erroneous teachings due to the hellinistic mindset that believes the day starts at midnight or in the morning.  There is also tremendous truth that Yahweh will reveal to you when you understand this.

When Yahweh instructed Moses on the Passover date, He stated that the Passover lamb will be kept until the fourteenth day then killed in the evening:

Exodus 12:6  And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

This is where the ambiguity comes in that is EXTREMELY important.  When you realize there are TWO evenings this could refer to, you can see how it points to Yeshua.  This verse could mean on the thirteenth day as evening (and the fourteenth day) approaches, the lamb is to be slain and the meal eaten as the fourteenth day starts that evening.  The instruction could also mean that the lamb is to be kept until the day of the fourteenth and sacrificed that evening and eaten as the fourteenth day ends and the fifteenth day starts.  Today there are still rabbinic Jews who celebrate one day and others that celebrate the other.  This ambiguity is also important so that preparation day for Passover will not fall on the Sabbath - although that is not the only reason.

Now to see how this ambiguity is extremely important and how it relates to Messiah Yeshua!  This is totally amazing!

Remember Yeshua never sinned.   He fulfilled the law perfectly (and NEVER changed ANY of it) so whatever He did was what Yahweh instructed.

Yeshua had His disciples go and prepare a Passover meal for them before He was crucified:

Luke 22
7  Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
8  And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
9  And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10  And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11  And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
12  And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13  And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
14  And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
15  And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
16  For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17  And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18  For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19  And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20  Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.


Yet in John, it is clear Yeshua was crucified during the PREPARATION for the Passover and He died as the Passover lambs were being slaughtered.  The ambiguity in Yahweh's instructions allowed for Yeshua to have the Last Supper - Passover - with His disciples and still allowed for Him to be crucified / die as the Passover lambs were being slaughtered which was crucial since He is the lamb that took away the sins of the world.

John 1:29  The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

John 19
14  And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
15  But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16  Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
17  And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

Sheep and Goats

Yeshua gives us a clue to understand why some believe that they are hearing from God but in reality are listening to satan.

The people that Yeshua is speaking of is the body of Messiah - those who truly belong to Him:

John 10
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:


 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 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.


There are those who truly belong to Yeshua and then there are those who claim to be His but are not His.  


Matthew 25
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.


Goats have their own agenda
Sheep follow the Shepherd
 Sheep and goats are both acceptable for the Passover sacrifice  Exodus 12:5  Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:    both are clean animals and both claim to belong to Yeshua. The difference  is that the sheep will follow the Shepherd and obey His voice. The goats have their own agenda; the goats follow their own plan such as promoting themselves and their doctrines as the real truth.  The goats are deceived by the enemy and they even deceive themselves into believing it is from Yahweh.

2 Corinthians 11
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

2 Timothy 3:13  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.


The hireling shepherd can sound just like the Good Shepherd . Many well intending people have been deceived because they believe their plans are the plans of Yahweh when they listen to the voice of a false shepherd instead of Yeshua.

The false prophets claim that because of what they said came to pass that "it is from Yahweh" and since most people are biblically illiterate, they believe that statement to be true - contrary to what Yahweh says:

Deuteronomy 13
1  If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2  And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3  Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4  Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.


The only way to make sure you are not deceived is by reading the bible and listening to what Yahweh says.  Anything that contradicts His word is false.

Acts 17
10  And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11  These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

2 Timothy 3:14  But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;


Clearly we are in perilous times and it is more important than ever to read the bible and see what Yahweh says, believe it, and follow Yeshua as Messiah (Lord and Savior).  Any teachings that seem to be contrary with Torah or what Yeshua says is either a false teaching or has been misinterpreted.  Do not go with the crowds - they are lying to you and seducing you to follow them down the broad road to hell.

Matthew 7
13  Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.



Yahweh's judgment will start with those who claim to be His.  He will "clean house" of the false teachers.

1 Peter 4
17  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18  And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

Now is the time to REPENT (turn away from sin which is defined as violating Torah) and follow Messiah Yeshua in Spirit and in Truth.
1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

John 4
23  But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

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

Unbiblical Passover traditions

The seder plate with the ishtar egg and the broken bones of the sheep are NOT how we are to celebrate Passover.  When I lived in Seattle, my muslim landlords were able to find a whole sheep with unbroken bones when they roasted it for ramadan so it is not impossible to do (they found an adult sheep - Passover is to be observed with a smaller lamb less than a year old)    Also goats are acceptable for Passover (and that is worthy of a discussion)

How do people justify the lamb shank as a "representation" when Yahweh warns to observe according to HIS regulations?  How do people justify using the babylonian egg in a celebration of Yahweh? How do people justify the seder plate representation while fixing meat of some other animal for the real meal?  Yahweh is clear we are to eat the lamb - with unbroken bones - not use a [broken] shank bone to represent it and then eating chicken, turkey, or some other animal.  The roasted egg is directly from babylon and is from ishtar eggs that are used in ishtar (easter) celebrations.

Note those who are away from Jerusalem are to observe it in the SECOND month, not the first month.  How do people justify celebrating Passover in the first month when they are away from Israel? :

JPS

Numbers 9
10  'Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD;
11  in the second month on the fourteenth day at dusk they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs;
12  they shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break a bone thereof; according to all the statute of the passover they shall keep it.

CJB

Numbers 9
10  "Tell the people of Isra'el, 'If any of you now or in future generations is unclean because of a corpse, or if he is on a trip abroad, nevertheless he is to observe Pesach.
11  But he will observe it in the second month on the fourteenth day at dusk. They are to eat it with matzah and maror,
12  they are to leave none of it until morning, and they are not to break any of its bones — they are to observe it according to all the regulations of Pesach.

-----------------------

Verse 5 says the Passover lamb may be taken from the sheep or the goats and must be a male:

Exodus 12
1  And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying:
2  'This month shall be unto you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3  Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying: In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household;
4  and if the household be too little for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbour next unto his house take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man's eating ye shall make your count for the lamb.
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year; ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats;
6  and ye shall keep it unto the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at dusk.
7  And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel, upon the houses wherein they shall eat it.
8  And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
