Today I picked up our daughter from school with a fever of 101. She was red cheeked and uncharacteristically lethargic. I held her when she complained first of being hot, then cold.  I couldn’t make the fever go away but I wanted her to know, that whatever she was going through, at least I was with her. I cared.

As I soothed her by playing in her long hair, I felt the longing to SAVE her, not only from sickness and human frailties, human cruelty or suffering, but to introduce her to Christ Yeshua, her Savior. She has seen me pray to Yeshua, read the Bible each day. Even more amazing, she met Yeshua when He visited our home in answer to my prayers that He bring me greater understanding of His word (especially the book of Daniel) so I might help warn His children and prepare them to face the time of Great (or Jacob’s) trouble.

We are all so busy. Who makes time to listen to G_d? How many of you invite Him to guide your thoughts and actions each day? How many of you seek His will for your life in stillness before Him?

Yet each person must be drawn from within by the Father to be saved.  Each person must make the conscious personal decision to invite Christ to become Lord of their heart, Lord of their mind, Lord of their body, Lord of their ALL.

Holding my daughter as the fever weakened her, I felt this deep desire to know that she was saved.  I want to know that all of my children are saved; I want to be certain they have been buried with Yeshua through baptism, raised with Him from the dead; hidden with Him in heaven. I want to know my family is saved.

I would rejoice if every person everywhere were saved. So would the Father. But the Father cannot allow us to reach for the fruit of the tree of Life and live forever, if we also deny Christ, if we also choose to follow and walk in the darkness.

As Michael, I can drive out Satan and bind his demons, but even an archangel cannot save you.  You need to believe in and accept Christ Yeshua (Jesus); you need to confess your sins and ask Yeshua to change you, tranform you from the inside, into a child of light. There is only one name under heaven, faith in which brings eternal Life. That name is Christ Yeshua or Christ Jesus.

I suppose the first lesson I learn from Scripture and the panoramic patience involved in HaShem’s (G_d’s) plan for salvation is that Love is deeper than time, space, sin, deeper and stronger than despair, darkness, illness, greater than death. G_d is Love.

One unique quality of an archangel, even while dwelling in a physical temple, is the capacity to feel what the Father feels. The Father hurts for us, grieves over us. The Father wants us to choose Life. But He will not force us.

The Father of Lights wants to save us from death, self-destruction, from sin. He Himself came down from heaven to provide the Way home. All we have to do is believe in Messiah, Christ Yeshua, and we are ALREADY saved!

I know all too well that the entire world is about to spin hopelessly out of balance, as the Roadmap or ‘peace and safety (or security)’ agreements are confirmed by Tsar Antichrist Putin and the Quartet.  HaShem says that the abomination that makes desolate was set up on a wing of His temple, Israel (in Gaza).

The land HaShem promised to Jacob’s descendents forever cannot be settled by Essau. HaShem will strike at the ‘Roadmap’. The seven-year agreement confirming the covenant or pact with sheol (with the Jews or the Many) will be broken half way through, unleashing the great Tribulation.

It pains me that I cannot protect you (any of you,  all of you) from what is about to happen. YOU must awaken. It is your choice to continue asleep in the Adam dream of sin and suffering or be awakened to the Light. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

It is very difficult to realize that I cannot even save the people closest to me, in spite of all the power HaShem entrusts to me. My faith can only save me. You must believe in Yeshua, in Jesus. You alone can save yourself.

How many times would Christ have gathered us up as little chicks to proctect us, but we would not come to Him? I want my wife, our sons, and our daughter to be safe, but there is no safety apart from the faith in Christ Yeshua that brings eternal Life. The material world is full of tribulation and suffering, always ending in death; this material realm was dominated by the prince of this world for so many centuries. At the cross the Lamb of God bruised the serpent’s head.

Only in Yeshua is Life; only in Jesus is safety. Learn from Job; we cannot protect the body, our families or our possessions. In this world we have suffering and tribulation. But take heart! Christ Yeshua has overcome the world. Trust Yeshua.

Who better to place your faith in, to rest your hope in eternal Life upon? He never told a single untruth. He never commited a single sinful or selfish act against another person. Trust Yeshua. Give up your own flawed concept of life, turn from sin and find rest in Christ. Then take up your cross (crucify the deeds of the carnal man or woman) and follow Yeshua.

Are you a child of the Light by virtue of believing and following in the Life and footsteps of Christ Yeshua? What will you answer the Father? He is still holding out His arms in the hope that we come to Him through Christ Yeshua.  The Father cannot call to us forever. The door to the wedding feast will soon close. Outside there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Please don’t disappoint Him.

Peace in Yeshua,

Michael
