One verse of the Bible was formerly quoted more often than it is today, even though today we are arriving at the time of its fulfillment.� This verse is 1 Peter 4:17,
"For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begins at us, what shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?"�
Strangely enough, this verse is almost always used by the ministers to threaten their own congregations with judgment and condemnation.� This is as though it was the Christian who should be in fear of this judgment.� Perhaps this does get more money in the offering that Sunday but, is this a correct use of the word of Yahweh?� Let's examine the subject in detail.
This is a Christian nation.� It was founded by Christians, who came to this continent when it was an untamed wilderness, peopled by fierce savages. They came here, as their own records tell us, to establish Christian communities where they could worship Yahweh without interference. Even today, although we have allowed the entrance of millions of people who hate our God and everything we hold sacred, yet the great majority of our people are still Christian.
Our people are not completely perfect, people were never sinlessly perfect at any time, that is why there was a need for Yahshua to come and save us by His sacrifice on the cross. His death and resurrection were not in vain. Yahshua has cleansed us of the guilt of our sins, if He had not, then He would have died in vain. Yahweh's purpose can never fail. He has saved us from the judgment for our sins and redeemed us as His children, who had strayed like lost sheep. It isn't the Christians who need to fear the judgment.
1 John 4:17 tells us,
"Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world."
It is still true that judgment must begin at the house of Yahweh but we see that it is not judgment upon the Christians. Who then, are to be judged among those who are found in this nation which is the household of Yahweh? Those who hate our God, are loud in their denunciation of us for our supposed sins. These supposed sins consist mostly in not helping them to commit their own sins, on a scale as great and profitable as they desire.� Should we hang our heads in shame and plead guilty to their accusations? Never! Isaiah 54:17 gives the answer.�
"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their righteousness is of Me, saith Yahweh."
Yes, our righteousness is of Him.� The righteousness which Yahweh imputed to Christians because Yahshua died and was resurrected to accomplish this very thing. Therefore, every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. Yet we see our ministers, preachers and priests sitting at the same table with Jewish Rabbis who hate the very mention of the name of Yahweh and Yahshua. Where is their shame in doing that. It is not there because they have no shame, nor have they any pride in their Lord and Savior.
In many places, the Bible tells us that Yahweh's judgment will fall upon the ungodly. Upon those who hate Him and refuse His sacrifice made for us upon the cross. One of these many verses is, 1 Samuel 2:10,
"The adversaries of Yahweh shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall He thunder upon them: Yahweh shall judge the ends of the earth."
There are many more verses to the same effect, those nations which are not Christian must face the final accounting for their wickedness. This is because they have refused to accept the salvation offered them by Yahshua. What can possibly remain except the judgment of complete justice? What a heavy penalty complete justice will require for their many centuries of continuous wickedness!
Then why are we told that judgment must begin at the house of Yahweh? There is time enough to get the other nations in their own turn, meanwhile let them stew in their own juice. The household of Yahweh, His people the Anglo Saxon, Scandinavian, Germans, all Israelites, must be cleansed at the beginning of this period of judgment which we see already coming over the horizon. We must be made ready to receive Him.� Since the Christians are not the people against whom the judgment is coming, then why does it begin with our own nation?
It begins here precisely because we have allowed those who hate our God to come here and live among us in great numbers. They ceaselessly attack every mention of the name of Yahshua. They constantly strive to prohibit all mention of His name in the schools, in any public place or in governmental proceedings. They even want to remove those who fight against Yahweh in his own household.
� Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. � (2 Corinthians 6:14-17)
And because of their unfaithfulness Christ will say to them:
� 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. 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? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. � (Matthew 7:21-23)
No nation can be righteous with such people in its midst. Consequently, the judgment must begin in this nation in order to remove those who fight against Yahweh in His own household.
Psalm 1:5 tells us,
"Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. �
Note this is completely different from the judgment upon the other nations. Those nations who reject Yahweh and all His commandments, could never be called the congregation of the righteous. This speaks of a judgment which falls upon those who are sinners while they are among the congregation of the righteous.
Obviously, they couldn't be part of the congregation of the righteous, for then they would not be sinners. They are found among the congregation of the righteous, as an inassimilable, forever alien element among them.� Having rejected Yahshua, they must therefore face the judgment they have earned. Yahshua tells us in John 12:48,
"He that rejecteth Me, and receiveth not My words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day."
It should not be hard to identify those who must be removed by this judgment. Yahshua, as well as many of the prophets, tells that their rejection of Him leaves them no escape from judgment. Isaiah 3:9 completes the identification. It is very appropriate that this should come in verse nine, as nine is the number always associated with judgment in the Bible. This verse points out,
"The show of their countenance doth witness against them: and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hid it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves."
Today our nation is flooded with corrupting influences. Salacious movies and books, a false psychology taught in many of our schools, which undermines the confidence of the youth in their own parents. This list grows longer with liquor dealers who grow rich selling whiskey to youths.� There is a well financed campaign to break down all moral standards in the coming generation. Then there is politics, wherein nothing counts but winning public office, no matter what kind or degree of corruption is needed to win. There is merchandise sold by advertising, which cleverly contrives to mislead the buyer to expect better quality than he receives.
All these things are brought about by the Jews; who are not Israelites as they attest to in their writings, Under the heading of "A brief History of the Terms for Jew" in the 1980 Jewish Almanac is the following:
"STRICTLY SPEAKING IT IS INCORRECT TO CALL AN ANCIENT ISRAELITE A � JEW � OR TO CALL A CONTEMPORARY JEW AN ISRAELITE OR A HEBREW. " (1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3).
Surely none of this could have come from truly Christian sources, it is the antitheses of Christianity. Yet we find it here, wealthy, powerful, numerous and utterly corrupt. It is the work and congregation of the righteous. This element must be removed before we can be ready to enter into the kingdom of Yahweh as the congregation of the righteous, the household of Yahweh. It is upon these aliens that the judgment falls, not upon us. It is this very process which Yahshua was describing to us in the parable of the tares among the wheat.�
This is recorded in Matthew 13:24‑30, 36‑43, where Yahshua told us of the tares growing among the wheat, but being no part of it. The tares were the children of the devil. Yahshua also identified them in John chapter 9, living among Yahweh's own children, who must be weeded out to be burned in the fires of judgment.
Also in the explanation of the parable to the disciples Christ clearly states that He never intended for the Jews to be saved:
� For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. � (Matthew 13:15)
For a second witness we have Christ saying in Mark:
� That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. � (Mark 4:12)
We have the testimony of John:
� That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. � (John 12:38-41)
Paul also records:
� And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers, Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. � (Acts 28:25-27)
When this is evil that is being done by the clergy is corrected and completed, we shall have a glorious nation which is truly fit to be the kingdom of Yahweh, the congregation of the righteous, with nothing remaining that can tarnish our glory. Yahshua concludes His explanation of the parable of the tares among the wheat, with the statement that as soon as the tares are removed,
"Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father." (Matthew 13:44)
The time of judgment is at hand.� The tares themselves are publicly declaring their fear of the national resentment rising against them. They bitterly attack every attempt to reinstate the moral and political values of the day when this nation was morally great. They attack all this as a movement of the extreme right. Be glad that you are extremely right, for only thus can you be in the company of Yahweh. Let judgment begin at the house of Yahweh as quickly as possible, so that we can be cleansed and made ready to receive our God, Yahweh!�����
I don � t expect this to change your minds because I am a nobody, I don � t have a degree with a PhD (Piled Higher and Deeper) behind my name, but I am a servant of Yahweh and I witness in this letter which I believe will be presented to you on judgment day, that unless you change and stop having fellowship with the Jews who CANNOT BE SAVED, that you will be one of those that Christ was speaking of.
I also know that you will be quite angry about this letter for you know it to be the truth and the truth hurts. So be it think what you will.
I remain sincerely yours,
In His Service
