“Fear,” said he, “YAHWEH, and keep His commandments. For if you keep the commandments of ELOHIM, you will be powerful in every action, and every one of your actions will be incomparable.”
John 14:21-24
“He who KEEPS MY COMMANDMENTS, is he LOVES ME. And Whosoever loves Me, will be loved of My Father, and I will love him and will reveal Myself to him.” Verse 24 “But he WHO DOES NOT LOVE ME will NOT keep My word, and this word that you hear is Not Mine; rather, it is of the Father who sent Me.”
John 15:10
“If you KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept the commandments of My Father, and I abide in His love.”
1 John 5:3
“For this is the love of ELOHIM, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS; and His commandments are not burdensome.”
Deuteronomy 30:11-14
“For this commandment which I command you this day is not hidden from you, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that you should say, who shall go up for us to heaven and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, who shall go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it? But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may DO IT.”
Luke 11:28
“He said to her, “Blessed are they who hear the Word of ELOHIM and KEEP IT.”
Revelation 12:17
“And the dragon was enraged against the woman; and he went to make war upon the remnant of her seed who KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS of ELOHIM and have the testimony of YESHUA.”
Revelation 14:12
“Here is the patience of the set-apart believers who KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS of ELOHIM, and the faith of YESHUA.”
Revelation 22:14
“Blessed are they who DO His commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life and may enter through the gates into the city.”
Shepherd of Hermas continued: “For, fearing YAHWEH, you will do all things well. This is the fear which you ought to have, that you may be saved. But fear not the devil; for, fearing YAHWEH, you will have dominion over the devil, for there is no power in him. But he in whom there is no power ought on no account to be an object of fear; but He in whom there is esteemed power is truly to be feared.”
Do you have this type of fear for YAHWEH?
2 Esdras 8:28
“Think not on those who have lived wickedly in Your sight; but remember those who have willingly acknowledged that You ARE TO BE FEARED.”
Testament of Levi 3:9
“Therefore when YAHWEH looks at us (malachim/angels), all of us are SHAKEN; yes, the heavens, and the earth, and the abysses TREMBLE at the presence of His majesty. But the sons of men, not perceiving these things, SIN (Transgression of the Torah 1 John 3:4) and provoke the anger of the Most High.”
Most believers and people in this world have no fear of YAHWEH; therefore, they run around carelessly sinning in His presence when they should be trembling in fear as the angels do! Sadly since they don’t physically see YAHWEH they go on about their lives transgressing against His commandments without a care in the world; however, if they only knew how the angels feel being in His presence, the willful sinners would be acting a lot differently on this earth.
Many people fear the devil and give him power by always wondering what he is going to do; and run around rebuking every spirit and leave no room for fearing YAHWEH. Think about it most people believe that Satan is going to be the one tormenting believers for eternity when the fact is that Satan will be tormented along with those who follow him.
Mathew 10:28
“And do not fear of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, have FEAR more so of Him who is able to destroy the soul and the body in Gehenna.”
The demons clearly understood this fact and they knew who to fear even though they chose to rebel, and they know who is going to be doing the tormenting and it isn’t Satan.
Mathew 8:28-29
“And when YESHUA came to the other side to the place of Gadarenes, two demon possessed ones met him who were coming out from the cemetery, so that no man was able to cross over by that way. And they cried out and said, “What do we have to do with each other YESHUA, Son of ELOHIM? Have you come here before the time to TORMENT us?”
Revelation 20:10
“And the accuser who seduced them was cast into the lake of fire and sulfur where also the beast of prey and the false prophet; and they will be TORMENTED DAY AND NIGHT, forever and ever.”
So let that lie of Satan tormenting believers be put to rest as he deserves no fear that people are giving him.
Remember in Job that Satan had to get permission to do anything to Job because YAHWEH’s hedge of protection was around him. So, this is a perfection example of Who is in control and with that said, why would Satan be the object of people’s fear?
Job 1:6-10 (Aramaic)
“Now there was a day when the sons of ELOHIM came to present themselves before YAHWEH, and Satan came also among them. And YAHWEH said to Satan, whence have you come? Then Satan answered YAHWEH, and said, from going to and fro in the earth, and from walking on it. Then YAHWEH said to Satan, have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, an innocent and upright man, one who REVERES ELOHIM, and turns away from evil? Then Satan answered YAHWEH and said, does Job revere ELOHIM for naught? You have rested Your hand of protection upon him and upon his house and upon his children and upon every everything that he has everywhere; You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth Your hand now, and destroy all that he has, and he will curse You to Your face. And YAHWEH said to Satan, behold, all that he has is in your power; only upon himself you shall not put forth your hand. So Satan went out from the presence of YAHWEH.”
Shepherd of Hermas continued: “For every one that has power ought to be feared; but he who has not power is despised by all. Fear, therefore, the deeds of the devil, since they are wicked (fear being like him and his ways). For, fearing YAHWEH, you will not do these deeds, but will refrain from them. For fears are of two kinds: for if you do not wish to do that which is evil, fear YAHWEH, and you will not do it; but, again, if you wish to do that which is good, fear YAHWEH, and you will do it. Wherefore the fear of YAHWEH is strong, and great, and esteemed. Fear, then, YAHWEH, and you will live to Him, and as many as FEAR Him AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS will LIVE to ELOHIM.”
Ecclesiastes 12:13 (Aramaic)
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: FEAR YAHWEH and KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS; this is given by One Master to every man.”
The malach of repentance says when you fear YAHWEH you will not do that which is evil:
Job 28:28
“And to man he said, behold, the reverence of ELOHIM, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.”
Psalms 25:14
“YAHWEH is mindful of them that worship Him, and He will show them His covenant.”
Psalms 34:11
“Come, you children, listen to me, and I will teach you the reverence for YAHWEH.”
Proverbs 8:13
“Reverence of YAHWEH despises evil, pride, arrogance, evil ways, and perverse speech do I hate.”
Proverbs 14:27
“Reverence for YAHWEH is a fountain of life to those who turn away from the snares of death.”
Proverbs 15:16
“Better is a little with reverence for YAHWEH than the great treasures of the wicked.”
Proverbs 19:23
“Reverence for YAHWEH leads to life; and he who is satisfied with it shall abide; he shall not be visited with evil.”
2 Samuel 23:3
“The ELOHIM of Yisra’el said, the Mighty One of Yisra’el spoke to me: He who governs men must be righteous, ruling over those who revere ELOHIM.”
Philippians 2:12-13 (Aramaic)
“Therefore, my beloved, as you have at all times obeyed, not only when I was near to you but now when I am far from you, push through the work of your life more abundantly, with FEAR and with trembling. For ELOHIM is operating in you, both to purpose and also to perform that which you desire. Do all things without arguing and without conflict; that you may be perfect and without blemish, as the sincere children of ELOHIM who are resident in a perverse and crooked generation; and that you may appear among them as shining lights in the world; so that you may be to them in place of life.”
Shepherd of Hermas continued: “Why,” said I, “sir, did you say in regard to those that keep His commandments, that they will live to ELOHIM?” “Because,” says he, “all creation fears YAHWEH, but all creation does not keep His commandments. They only who fear YAHWEH and keep His commandments HAVE LIFE with ELOHIM; but as to those who keep not His commandments, there is no life in them.”
Those who fear YAHWEH and keep His commandments have LIFE:
Leviticus 18:5
“You shall therefore KEEP My commandments and My judgements, which if a man do, he shall LIVE IN THEM, I am YAHWEH.”
Ezekiel 20:21
“Notwithstanding the children of Yisra’el rebelled against Me; they did not walk in My commandments neither did they keep My judgements to DO them, which if a man shall do HE SHALL LIVE BY THEM; they polluted My Shabbats: then I said, I will pour out My fury upon them and accomplish My anger against them in the wilderness.”
Deuteronomy 30:19
“I call heaven and earth to bear witness against you this day, that I have set before you LIFE and DEATH, blessings and cursing’s; therefore choose LIFE, that both you and your descendants may LIVE…”
The malach of repentance says but all do NOT keep His commandments, as we know the lie of Christianity that says the law is done away with and for this reason they have NO LIFE:
Isaiah 24:5-6
“The earth also is defiled like its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Torah, changed the ordinance, and nullified the everlasting covenant. Therefore the earth shall sit in mourning, and all its inhabitants shall be condemned; therefore all the inhabitants of the earth shall be destroyed and a FEW MEN SHALL BE LEFT.”
Mathew 7:14
“How narrow the door and straight the road that leads to life, and FEW ARE THEY, those that find it.”
2 Esdras 8:1
“He answered me and said, “The Most High made this world for the sake of many, but the world to come for the sake of FEW.”
2 Esdras 8:56-60
“For they also received freedom, but they despised the Most High, and were contemptuous (deep hatred or disapproval) of His LAW, and forsook His ways. Moreover, they have even trampled upon His righteous ones, and said in their hearts that there is no ELOHIM-though knowing full well that they must DIE. For just as the things which have been predicted await you, so the thirst and torment which are prepared await them. For the Most High did not intend that men should be destroyed; but they themselves who were created have defiled the Name of Him who made them, and have been ungrateful to Him who prepared life for them.”
2 Esdras 9:9-22
“Then those who have now abandoned My ways shall be amazed and those who have rejected them with contempt shall dwell in torments. For as many as did not acknowledge Me in their lifetime, although they received My benefits, and as many as scorned My law while they still had freedom, and did not understand but despised it while an opportunity of repentance was still open to them, these must in torment acknowledge Me after death. Therefore, do not continue to be curious as to how the unrighteous will be punished; but inquire how the righteous will LIVE, those to whom the age belongs and for whose sake the age was made.” I answered and said, “I said before, and I say now, and will say it again: there are MORE WHO PERISH than those who WILL LIVE, as A FLOOD is greater than a drop of water.” He answered me and said, “As is the field, so is the seed; and as are the flowers, so are the colors; and as is the work, so is the judgment, and as is the farmer, so is the threshing floor. For there was a time in this age when I was preparing for those who now exist, before they came into being the world was made for them to dwell in, AND NO ONE OPPOSED ME THEN (disobeying His commandments), for no one existed; but now those who have been created in this world, which is supplied both with an unfailing table (plenty of food) and an inexhaustible pasture, have become corrupt in their WAYS. So I considered My world, and behold, it was lost, and my earth, and behold, it was in peril because of the devices of those who had come into it. And I saw and spared some with great difficulty, and saved for Myself ONE GRAPE out of a cluster, and ONE PLANT out of a great forest. So let the multitude perish which has been born in vain, but let my grape and my plant be saved, because with much labor I have perfected them.”
2 Baruch 51:4-6
“For those who will then come will groan even more over this, over the fact that they REJECTED MY TORAH and have stopped their ears so that they would not hear wisdom or receive understanding. Therefore, when they will see that those, over whom they are now exalted, will then be exalted and esteemed more than they, and that they have been all transformed, these into splendor of angels and those into startling apparitions, then at the sight of these shapes they will waste away even more. For they will see and afterward they will go to be tormented.”
Again, the angel (malach) of repentance told us what we need to do to live to ELOHIM, which is to fear YAHWEH and keep His commandments, and also not to have any fear for the devil, but rather reserve all that fear for Him. Remember how few will inherit eternal life; therefore, do all you can through the strength and mercy of our ELOHIM and being led by the RUACH HA’KODESH (The Set-Apart Spirit) to do so. As always may our Father YAHWEH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name!
