What shall I do to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven?
What shall I do to be saved?
According to the Scripture, if your name is not written in the Book of Life on the Judgment Day, it would have been better if you had not been born at all
Some simple-hearted individuals may ask, "Why do we even need salvation or its significance?"
You see, brothers, in the beginning, when YHWH Almighty created Heaven and Earth, the hosts of heaven, including the archmalakhim (archangels), malakhim (lower angels), Cherubim, and Seraphim, as well as Principalities, Powers and the throne; afterwards, Adam. It was during this time that He made a Covenant with all beings, including Adam (mankind).
And the Covenant entails that If we worship His Name alone, obey His commandments without adding or removing from them, and observe His Sabbath feast, we shall be His sons, princes and His priests. In turn, He will be our Elohim, and we shall maintain the right to citizenship of Heaven. However, if we refuse to follow His commandments by altering them or worshipping other names and deities besides Him, we will forfeit the honor of being His sons and priests, and our status in Heaven will be lost.
The significance of this Covenant is consistently reiterated in various parts of the Scripture. And this unchanging Covenant has persisted from the beginning in Heaven to this present day and will remain forever (*Gen 2:16-17/ Gen 17:7-10/ Ex 19:5-/ Ex 23:13-19/ Deut 28:9-10/ Josh 1:7-9/ Matt 19:17-19/ Eze 11:20/ 1 Jh 5:1-5/ Rev 22:14).
The Fall of the angels and mankind
However, Godrel, now known as Satan, who was one of the seven archangels, deceived himself and one-third of the angels in heaven to rebel against YHWH’s commandment. Unaware that their salvation and heavenly citizenship were vested and insured under the commandment of YHWH. Due to their rebellion, they lost their citizenship in heaven and privileged status as YHWH's ministers. Consequently, they were expelled from Heaven to the earth (*Rev 12:4/ Isa 14:11-18).
In the same way, Satan deceived Adam (mankind) into rebelling against the commandment of YHWH, upon which our salvation and citizenship status are vested. Similarly, Adam and his wife were expelled and deported to the earth where they were created (*Gen 3:16-24).
The purpose of this Earth
After being expelled from the Garden of Eden, Earth serves as a type of reformatory prison for mankind for 7000 years, corresponding to 7 eternal days. During this time, those among Adam's descendants who seek to return to Heaven, their original home, will undergo reformation or process of born-again through repentance from sin to submission to YHWH's commandments. Through this process, they will regain their lost rights as priests and princes of Elohim, as well as citizens of Heaven. This is the essence of our story on earth (*Jh 3:1-6/ Acts 3:19-21/ Heb 5:8-9/ Matt 19:17-21 Jh 1:11-13).
Two Races on earth:
the elects and the rest of the world
Upon arriving on earth, humanity was subsequently divided by YHWH into two races. These two groups are known as
the elects and the rest of the world.
A. The Elects: are a select few whom YHWH handpicked from the Earth and sealed with His Name because they submitted to His Name and commandments (*Jh 17:6/ Rev 22:14/ Rev 22:4). These are the few individuals who will be redeemed from the Earth because they have overcome both the system of this world, its man-made religions, and all rebellion through obedience to YHWH's commandments (*Rev 3:7-12/ Matt 7:14). The all-knowing YHWH chose them from the foundation of the earth. YHWH also refers to them as the princes of Elohim (spiritual Israelites) and the living (*Rev 7:4). They serve YHWH in truth and spirit, aspiring to return to our original home, Heaven, instead of seeking the temporary prosperity of the Earth (*1 Jh 2:15/ Matt 6:19-21).
B. The World: are the rest of the people of the world; unredeemed and living outside the commandments of YHWH and the covering of His Name. The Scripture refers to them as 'the world' because they live under the influence of this worldly system, following its man-made religions and pagan holidays that YHWH never commanded and actually detests. YHWH refers to them as the Goyim or Gentiles, describing them as heathens and spiritually dead (*17:14-16/ 1 Jh 2:15-17/ Matt 8:22/ Ephesians 2:1-5/ Luke 15:11-24/ Jer 10:2-4).
And these two groups of people- each have its own designated spiritual seal or mark of identification:
▪︎ The Elects (the living) - who live under the commandments of YHWH are sealed or marked in their foreheads with the family Name of YHWH, which is the mark of identification, salvation and ties to YHWH (*Rev 14:1/ Rev 7:4/ Rev 3:12/ Acts 2:21).
▪︎ The World (the dead)- who live outside the commandments and authority of YHWH but under the system - are marked with the number of the beast (system) on their foreheads as well. It is one or the other: the Name of YHWH or the mark of the system (beast) (*Rev 13:16-18).
Note: There are two types of spiritual facial marks of identification (ID) that every human bears, just like a spiritual social security number. You will either bear the mark of YHWH or you bear the mark of the beast. The term 'beast' refers to the influential system and culture of this world, which operates outside YHWH's will and commandments.
Hidden Treasure
The most important thing in Heaven and Earth is the Name of YHWH, which serves as both the Mark of Identification and Seal of Salvation to righteous that are wholeheartedly submissive to His commandments. Should any angel in Heaven suddenly loses YHWH's mark of identification written on their forehead, it means that they have rebelled in some way, it signifies rebellion in some manner, and they will be sentenced to expulsion from Heaven. This is because everyone in Heaven must bear the mark of the Name of YHWH on their foreheads to live in Heaven (*Rev 14:1/ Rev 22:4/ Rev 22:14). Yet, this is the Name that Christianity removed from their Bible and from their midst, in order to follow the names of false deities (*Matt 23:13-15).
Two Systems on Earth
Heavenly System & the World's System
6000 years ago, following Adam's expulsion from the Garden of Eden, there was only one system that existed in the world: the system of YHWH, which is the same as the system of Heaven.
And the fundamental principles of this system and culture are as follows: Worship YHWH alone, observe His Sabbath and His commandments, which include not worshiping anyone other than YHWH, refraining from using His Name in vain, not stealing, not killing, not coveting your neighbor's wife or property, honoring your father and mother, and avoiding the creation of any images for worship, among others.
This system and culture were originally conveyed orally to Adam for transmission to his descendants. Later, Moses received the same system as 'The Ten Commandments' on Mount Sinai in the form of a written Torah. This system and culture are followed by the hosts of Heaven, a gift from YHWH to the righteous on Earth.
Then, unfortunately, Cain, Adam’s firstborn, killed his brother Abel, fled to a distant land with his sister, far away from Adam, and created an alternative system and culture contrary to the one YHWH gave to Adam, his father.
The system originally conceived by Cain was passed down through history, revitalized by the Nimrod Empire, subsequently adopted by other great empires, including the Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek, Roman, and, most recently, the Western Empires. This system, referred to in Scripture as 'the beast' or 'the world's system,' stands in opposition to YHWH's system and is what the modern world follows today.
And Cain's system of the world entails worship of many deities besides YHWH, just as we see today with the worship of God (Godrel), Buddha, Jesus, Allah, Adonai, Mithra, Hindu, Krishna, etc. It includes horse racing and coliseum sports, similar to what we observe today, a strong pursuit of wealth, Sunday worship instead of YHWH's Sabbath, and the celebration of pagan holidays like Christmas, Easter, birthdays, and Valentine's Day, which contrast with YHWH's appointed feasts like Passover and the Sabbath. In conclusion, there exist two systems: YHWH's heavenly system and the worldly system of the beast.
For this purpose, YHWH sends the Messiah and emissaries to proclaim the rebirth of humanity. This transformation involves abandoning old ways, as well as the systems and culture of this world, and embracing the ways and culture of YHWH through His Anointed Messiah, Yahoshea of Nazareth.
All have sinned
We have all sinned and fallen short of the righteousness of YHWH, our Creator (*Romans 3:23/ 1 Jh 1:8). Even in our mother's womb, we became sinful (*Ps 51:5). We all have been led astray by blind religious leaders (*Matt 15:3-14/ Matt 23:13) and by the things of this world (*1 Jh 2:16). Therefore, there is a need for true redemption that guarantees eternal life according to the every Word of YHWH, not according to the false salvation that mainstream religions offers (*Matt 7:22-23).
It would be quite naive to think that many will be saved, as the Scripture clearly states that few are the ones who will find the Kingdom of Heaven (* Matt 7:13-14). Furthermore, it is mentioned that Satan will deceive the entire earth through religion- the great whore (*Rev 12:9/ Rev 17:3-9). Throughout history, from its inception to the present day, humanity has consistently and collectively rejected YHWH, their Creator and His commandments. Instead, they have turned to worship various deities such as God (Godrel), Baal or the Lord, Horus, Jupiter, Jesus (Hesus), Mitra, Buddha, the Sun (Sunday), and more (*Rev 17:4). However, for those destined for salvation, here is the procedure through which true redemption can be attained.
Now this is YHWH's required process for gaining Salvation and Eternal Life
▪︎ First, you must recognize that you are a sinner and repent from sin (*Acts 2:38). What is sin? Sin means living outside the commandments of YHWH. Sin is also defined as rebellion against YHWH's commandments. Additionally, you must repent from living under the system of this world and its religions because both are under the rule of the prince of this world, and they are at enmity against the Name of YHWH and His commandments (*Luke 4:5-7/ James 4:4/ Luke 4:5-7/ 2 Corinth 6:14-18/ Jh 17:9-14).
▪︎ YHWH disapproves of all religions in this world because they exalt the names of pagan deities and customs of men above His Name and His commandments, which lead to eternal life (*Jh 6:68/ Mark 7:6-13/ Matt 5:20). Furthermore, they add to or remove from His commandments, actions He vehemently warned against, as YHWH and His commandments are one (*Jh 1:1/ Deut 4:2).
▪︎ There is only one Faith that YHWH, the Creator, bestowed upon mankind, which He acknowledges and approves of. This Faith entails embracing His Name and His commandments, which is the same as following Yahoshea the Messiah, who embodies both the Word and the Name of YHWH (*Jh 1:11-14/ Matt 4:19/ Jh 17:5-17/ Jh 5:43). YHWH did not bestow upon us Christianity, Islam, Judaism, or Hinduism; all of these are man-made religions of the world. He gave us only His Name, His commandments, and His Sabbath. YHWH gave us a relationship, as a Father does with his children. However, humans rejected that and instead created religions to exploit the lukewarm and gullible.
▪︎ Second, after repentance, you must be immerse in the water through YHWH's prescribed Name of Yahoshea the Messiah, for the forgiveness of your sins (*Acts 2:38). Then confess Yahoshea the Messiah as your Master and Savior (*Romans 10:9).
▪︎ Thirdly, after immersion, you must renounce all: father, mother, brother, sister, materialism, including yourself and the entanglement and influence thereof (*Luke 14:26-33/ Mark 10:17-30/ Matt 19:23-29). You must renounce the citizenship of this world (*Jh 17:14/ Rev 3:12), its culture and its ways, including its holidays, such as Christmas, Easter, Sunday, Valentine's Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s day, New Year, and their colosseum sports, etc (*Jer 10:17/ 1 Corinth 6:14-18) to accept and follow YHWH’s culture and festivals, such as Sabbath, Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Day of Atonement, etc (*Lev 23:1-44).
▪︎ Finally, after denying all, you must follow Yahoshea, the Messiah only (*Matt 4:19/ Matt 23:10), who is both the Word and Name of YHWH (Jh 1:1/ Rev 19:11-16). And you must submit completely to live according to the commandments of YHWH, to abide by them, to guard them, celebrate them and delight yourself in them day in day out (*Josh 1:6-9/ Deut 30:19-20/ Jh 14:15/ Jh 14:21-26).
In doing so, you will officially be saved and born again, and you will regain the right to be one of the sons, priests, and princes of Elohim, as well as eternal citizens of New Yahusalem (*Rev 21:10-14/ Rev 3:12).
Upon being born again and becoming a student and follower of Yahoshea the Messiah (*Matt 23:10), while being guided by His Qodesh Spirit, you are no longer a participant in this world's system and its mainstream religions. Instead, you are an ambassador and missionary of YHWH on Earth. Please note that YHWH strictly prohibits His children from mentioning the names of other deities like God (Godrel), the Lord (Baal), Allah, Buddha, etc. You are to worship and invoke only His Name, 'YAHUWAH,' through Yahoshea the Messiah (*Ex 23:13).
Greatest Achievement in Life
This is the greatest achievement in life: bearing the Name of YHWH on your forehead, which is the seal of salvation- the complete opposite of the mark of the beast (*Rev 14:1/ Rev 13:16-18/ Rev 7:3-4/ Jh 17:6-12/ Rev 22:4/ Rev 20:15/ Luke 10:20).
Eternal Reward
Strive to hold onto your crown of salvation by all means. Do not let anyone take it away from you, whether it's your family, friends, or career. Rebuke whatever challenges arise (*Rev 3:11/ Matt 16:23). If your right hand causes you to sin, get rid of it. It's better to enter into eternal life with one hand than to have your whole body thrown into hellfire (*Matt 5:30).
You will not regret the minor pain and inconveniences you will face during our short period of existence on this earth, compared to the eternal joy of everlasting life in a place where there is no darkness, pain, or war, but eternal peace with fellow righteous elect. So, run the race to the end (*Matt 11:28-30). You have chosen to lose now in order to gain later, while the world has chosen gain now and lose eternal life later (*Mark 8:36).
No eyes have seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which Elohim have install for them that love Him (1 Corinth 2:9).
Other Scriptures: Luke 18:18–30; MatithYahu 19:16–30/ Mark 10:17–30/ Luke 10:25–28
Luke 18:18-30
18 And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 19 And Yahoshea said unto him, Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One- Elohim. 20 You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour your father and your mother. 21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22 Now when Yahoshea heard these things, He said unto him, Yet one thing you lack: Sell all that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven. And come, follow Me. (Matt 6:21/ Matt 6:24) 23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. 24 And when Yahoshea saw that he was very sorrowful, He said, How hard shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of Elohim! 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of Elohim. 26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? 27 And He said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with Elohim. 28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed You. 29 And He said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man who has left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of Elohim's sake, 30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
Sole Purpose of Existence
The sole purpose of our existence on Earth is to find the genuine Kingdom of Heaven, rather than adhering to man-made religions such as Pharisees, Sadducees, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, or atheism (*Matt 5:20).
And this is the true Kingdom of Heaven: Worship the Name of YHWH in truth and spirit, obey His commandments, and observe His Sabbath. By doing so, you will be identified, sealed, and called by the Name of YAHUWAH, in the same way that legitimate children bear their father's name and are called by it. That's the same belief the angels shared, and the same goes for the elect on Earth, distinguishing their belief from human-made belief systems.(*Jh 17:3-6).
Once you discover the government or Kingdom of Heaven, and undergo the process of being born-again, your duty is to attend to the Heavenly Father’s business, just as the Messiah, the angels and the apostles do. Securing employment or attending school to provide for your temporary needs, such as shelter, food, and family, is secondary to taking care of the Father's business, as eternal life takes priority over temporary existence (*Matt 6:33). Satan uses material things to distract humanity from their true purpose until the reality of death comes.
YHWH gave us a relationship, humans created religions to exploited the lukewarm and the gullibles. He provided us with the opportunity to become His children, as indicated in Yahuchanan-John 1:12. However, humanity followed man-made religions (idolatry) instead.
