It starts with the creation of everything. Human beings are created, and God gives us the gift of Free Will, because his love for us is such that he will allow us to choose where we spend eternity.

God wants us to love him freely and without being forced to, but free will is a two-edged sword: if we choose to obey God from love for him, we will live, but if we choose to reject God from love for ourselves, we will die.
Happily for us, God is not just willing to forgive us, but he truly desires to do so (Ez. 18:23), and so he provides a means for us to be forgiven.
But not yet.
God eventually chooses Abraham, and promises that through his descendants the entire world will be blessed.
But first he needed to protect us. You see, Levi and Rueben had placed the entire Jewish population at risk by slaughtering an entire town in retribution for the prince raping their sister, Dinah, so God had the entire family go to Egypt.
(Yeah, I know I am skipping some events, but the main message remains valid.)
After a time, the family grows into a nation, and then God shows himself to the nation through the miraculous events he causes, freeing his people from slavery and bringing them into the desert.
Now we come to the main point of today’s message: God’s plan for the Jews and the rest of the world.
- He tells Moses to separate the Levites, who will serve God for the House of Israel (Num. 3:10-12; Num. 8:5-22).
- God tells Moses that the House of Israel will be his (meaning God’s) nation of priests to the world (Ex. 19:6). They have to be priests to the world because the Levites are already priests to Israel, and all that is left to priest to….is the rest of the world. Duh!
- God gives this nation of priests the Big Ten (Ex. 20), and over time, through Moses the entire Torah to learn so that they can teach it to the world.
- God promises, in Deut. 28, that if we obey his Torah we will be blessed, so it works like this: God gives us Jews the Torah promising if we obey it, we will be blessed, then he tells the Jews to bring it to the world, so the world can be blessed, as well, fulfilling the promise he made to Abraham.
- He sends the Messiah, Yeshua, so that when the sacrificial system is not available (after the destruction of the temple) there will still be a means for his people, as well as all people, to receive the forgiveness he wants us to have, so long as we faithfully accept his Messiah and continue to obey God’s Torah, just as Messiah Yeshua did.
My purpose is to do the best I can to teach others how religions are misleading us, and the only way to truly worship God correctly is the way God said to do it!
Again…DUH!
When the Messiah returns, I believe there will be a third temple, and the sacrificial system will be reinstituted, but not for sin- Yeshua took care of that one. There are many other sacrifices to be made, such as the wholly burnt sacrifice (demonstrating our total devotion to God), the Thanksgiving sacrifice, the daily sacrifices, the Rosh Hodesh and Holy Day sacrifices, not to mention any voluntary sacrifices people wish to make.
Well, that’s the plan, Folks! It is laid out clearly throughout the Bible, and despite what Christianity has taught, this plan is confirmed by Yeshua and the teachings within the New Covenant writings.
I think many of you already kinda knew this is what God’s plan was, from the start, but have become complacent and happy to use your religion as an excuse for taking the easy way out. Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but salvation is not a Come-As-You-Are Party. It is free for the asking, and once given no one can take it away from you.
But you can throw it away by not following God’s User Manual for Righteousness, colloquially known as the Torah.
As I said from the start, you were given Free Will to decide where you will spend eternity: please decide wisely.
Thank you for being here and please remember to share these messages with everyone you know, even non-believers. Hey, after all, you never know how fertile the soil is until you plant a seed in it.
That’s it for today, so L’hitraot and Baruch HaShem!
