The “rebellion” from the beginning of creation needs to be dealt with. But in this program we find out that Yahweh had the answer to the problem before it even reared its ugly head. He had His judgement all worked out and written down and sealed up before He laid one finger to the task of creating this universe. You know, the fact that He had the problem solved well before the problem even existed is the proof (or one of many proofs) of His incredible, amazing LOVE. This got me to thinking about His Love…

He could have just scrapped the whole plan before it even got off the ground.
Yahweh could have said, “Too many hassles, too many whiney cry babies, too many people who have no interest in My way of doing things, too many just downright evil people and angels are going to come out of this plan. I think I’ll just hold off for another trillion years and come up with a better plan where I won’t have to put up with disobedience and unrighteousness and hate and evil. Who needs the headaches? “

But you know, He didn’t say any of that. His magnificent, elaborate plan was multifaceted like a fine diamond cut perfectly by a master jeweler. It not only dealt with creation and all that that entails, (biology, physiology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, economy etc.), but it, his plan, also dealt with the unrighteousness that is borne out of us having a free will to choose. The little we know about these topics (biology, physiology…) is dwarfed by what we don’t know yet. With His plan He also knew that we would be despicable creatures down to our core. (I that too harsh?) Some would be redeemable and some not. For those who are redeemable He provided the Lamb for the blood sacrifice. What kind of love is this? Why not just give everyone a couple of “do overs” and leave it at that? (Well, I know for me, just a couple of “do overs” would have gotten me through about one hour of my life.)

Here’s a thought…The next time someone tells you that God is uncaring and unloving because “He allows all the suffering in the world”, ask them this question. “Would you be willing to offer your child to take the punishment for the likes of a Gary Ridgway, Donald Henry Gaskins, Jeffrey Dahmer, Charles Manson, Ted Bundey, John Wayne Gacy (these are some of the more infamous American bad guys), Jack the Ripper, Joseph Stalin & Adolph Hitler? Well, my God did just that when He sent His Son to take our punishment. How is THAT for love?” See what they say to that.

His plan solved the problem of somehow transforming an unrighteous goof (me) into a child of the Living God.
He not only solved the Salvation problem for those redeemable ones, but He also took care of the ne’er-do-wells who rejected His love. The Revelation Scroll and its 7 seals of judgement are opened by the only hand that is worthy to open it. Yes, the hand that has the nail mark from the very punishment that He willingly took in order to redeem us all. Even those
ne’er-do-wells who rejected Him throughout the ages, had they come to their senses, swallowed their pride and repented. They had their chance to be redeemed, but said “no”. They had their chance to taste of the sweet, pure love that flows from Heaven’s Throne, but they said, “no”.

They said, “NO!” to His love. Can you imagine that? Saying “no” to love that is so immense, so perfect, so deep that our minds, as wonderfully complex as they are, can’t begin to comprehend the magnitude of that very love.
What’s even more mind boggling is that it is FREE. It only costs you your life. How amazing is that. He is willing to trade that which He made from dirt (you), for His love and everlasting life. Did you get that?? You give Him dirt (again, you) and He gives you Love beyond measure and everlasting life with the Father and His Messiah. There is no better deal in the universe, my friend.

The Judgement has begun. Four seals have been opened, three to go. Messiah’s nail scarred hand is poised to unseal the 5th one. If any of you ne’er-do-wells who have rejected Messiah (I’m speaking to you Jews first and then to you Gentiles) happen to be reading this, let me offer a bit of advice, (do I even need to say it?). Repent and turn to Yahweh while His Messiah is still taking in sinners. You piles of dirt, need to be cleansed of your unrighteous filth and transformed into children of the Living God.

Yes people, His love is great enough to drag you up from the pit of filth, which is your life in this world, and bring you into the Glorious, Magnificent presence of His Father.
Now, I ask you, “How is THAT for Love?”

Shalom,

Don

Regarding the picture posted with the program: This picture was not created by Tsiyon as a representation of our view. It is from a traditional illustration which we posted to depict the traditional view of the heavenly scene, which view is corrected in a number of points within these Tsiyon programs. No doubt you have noticed a number of points of variance between our teachings in the programs and the illustration. Thanks for your comments which add more details correcting the traditional scene.

One “error” though, may I point out, is the picture posted with this program. The ‘halo’ depicts the Roman sun-god, Apollo, with rays around it; and found in all Roman Catholic paintings/pictures of Mary, Jesus, and saints.
The prayer in Luke 11:2 should read “HOLY (kadosh) is Your Name, YHWH” and NOT “hallowed” as in some Bible translations.
Blessings and love in Yahshua,
