HE SHALL BE SATISFIED!! INDEED VERY SATISFIED!!

HE SHALL BE SATISFIED!! INDEED VERY SATISFIED!!

In Isaiah 53:11 we read:
“He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied”.

This Passage of Scripture is talking about Yahushua, Who left His throne in Glory and came to this world; where He willingly suffered and died for the entire human race to save them in His kingdom of Glory and to save them from eternity in hell and the Lake of fire and brimstone (Luke 16: 19-28; Revelation 20: 11-5). His Word says:
“He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied”?

What does it mean: “He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied”? Can someone indeed be satisfied after great suffering, suffering unto death for something he/she has not done? Before examining this text further, let us take a little time to look at Yahushua, Whom the text is really about.

YAHUSHUA, THE CREATOR.

In the Scriptures we are told:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with [Elohim] God, and the Word was [Elohim] God. 2 The same was in the beginning with [Yahweh] God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men”. John 1: 1-3.

Here the Scripture speaks about the Word. This Word is not the spoken word but refers to a Divine Being. That Being is Elohim Himself, Who existed before the beginning of this world. He was not created but He created all things which would not exist, had He not made them. He had in Him LIFE!! Thus He is the Life Giver, Who has given life to all His created beings, including life in this world because He is the Creator and Life Giver. He is also the Creator of all other planets and galaxies including Mars and Venus and there is no limit to His creative power.

When Yahushua, the Word, created this world, He created it for a purpose. He created it to be inhabited as we are told in Isaiah 45:18:
“For thus saith [Yahweh] the LORD that created the heavens; [Elohim] God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am [Yahweh] the LORD; and there is none else”.

Once Yahushua created this world and its inhabitant, including the first couple, Adam and His wife Eve, He gave them the express command in Genesis 1:28:
“Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”.

At the creation of the world everything was perfect, including the man, Adam and His wife Eve. We are certain of this because in Genesis 1: 31:

“And [Elohim] God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day”.

At the end of the Creation week everything was very good. Everything was beautiful and perfect, including the man, Adam and his wife Eve. That was how our Elohim intended it to be and in those very early days at the dawn of Creation, we are told that Yahweh came down in the cool of the day and held communion with the beautiful young couple, the crowning work of His Creation (Genesis 2: 8). He fellowshipped and held face to face communion with them because they were perfect and sinless.

Sadly, Yahweh coming to speak with them face to face came to an end because both Eve and Adam disobeyed a simple but important command. Yahweh had expressly told them:

“Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die”. Genesis 2: 16,17.

That command appears to be a very simple command, especially seeing they were not in need of anything and had all the other fruits to feast upon. As simple as it may appear, it was Yahweh's way of testing them whether or not they would be obedient to Him, their Creator. However, He told them clearly what would be the consequence if they were disobedient. That consequence would be DEATH!!

Yahweh did not have to give Adam and Eve a test, He could have demanded total obedience from them but He gave them the freedom of choice because He is not a Dictator. The choice He gave them was with accountability. Thus they were accountable to Him for the choice they made in the command He had give to them.

Yahweh had specifically said:

“but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die”. Genesis 2: 17.

Both Adam and Eve had not seen or experienced death in any form because everything was perfect. However, they were aware that death was something very bad. In spite of Yahweh's command to them not to touch or eat the forbidden fruit, Eve was tempted by Satan, who was disguised as a snake, to eat from the tree. She ate and then gave it to her husband Adam, who also ate it (Genesis 3: 1-7).

Soon after Adam and Eve had both eaten from “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil” they had the rude awakening that they were both permanently naked. It was only then the seriousness of their disobedience to Yahweh's express command, dawned upon them. Now they were ashamed! Ashamed of their nakedness!! Their shame was such that they had to cover their nakedness with fig leaves. However, it was to get worse for Adam and Eve.

That evening Yahweh came to fellowship with them but they were in hiding and He had to call Adam. Concerning this we read in Genesis 3:

“8 And they heard the voice of [Adonai Yahweh] the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of [Elohim Yahweh] the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And [Adonai Yahweh] the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself”.

They had to come out of hiding and give an answer to Yahweh, even though He had seen what they had done and knew their pathetic state. Once Adam stood before Elohim, as the man and head of his wife. He had to give an answer why they were naked and wearing fig leaves for covering when they had been covered by divine covering.

Elohim Yahweh then questioned Adam:

“ …Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? Genesis 3:11.

In reply, Adam cast blame upon his wife and said:
“… The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat”. Genesis 3:12.

Eve also had to give an account for her action and to her Yahweh said:
“… What is this that thou hast done?
In reply to Yahweh, she said:
“…. The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. Genesis 3: 13.

Yahweh had told Adam the penalty if he touched or ate from “the tree of knowledge of good and evil”. Although it pained Him, Adam and Eve were now sinners and had to reap the consequence of their disobedience. Eve was the one who was deceived and to her Elohim Yahweh said:

“ . . . I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee”. Genesis 3:16.

Then to Adam Elohim Yahweh said:

“… Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Genesis 3: 17-19.

Satan, who was disguised as a serpent had been cast our of Heaven because of his rebellion and war there, was also given a sentence for his deception. To him Elohim Yahweh said:

“. . ., Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel”. Genesis 3: 14,15.

Due to the sins of Adam and Eve, Satan gained the dominion of this world which was given to them. Once Satan was successful in getting them to sin, he continued the war with Yahweh which he began in Heaven because he wanted to usurp power and become the Ruler (Revelation 12: 7-9). Satan and the angels who rebelled with him were cast of Heaven into outer darkness but they made the decision to come to this world which was still in its infancy with a young and inexperienced couple. It was for this very reason the lament went up in Heaven:

“. . . Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” Revelation 12:12.

Since that time six thousand years ago, the war has not ceased in this world. Yahweh loved Adam and Eve and loved fellowshipping with them. Sadly, because of their sin, He, a holy Elohim, could no longer meet with them face to face. However, He had made a way to redeem mankind were they to disobey His commands and succumb to sin . That is the reason Yahweh told Satan (who was disguised as a snake):

“I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel”. Genesis 3: 14,15.

Yahweh, the Creator, would Himself become our Deliverer by entering into open combat with Satan, who would bruise His heel, while He, Yahweh, would bruise or crush Satan’s head. Yahweh knew that man would sin and put in place His Plan to redeem him and his descendants before He created the world. Concerning this we read:

“8 forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 21 who by him do believe in [Elohim] God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in [Yahweh] God.1 Peter 1: 18-21.

YAHUSHUA THE DELIVERER!!

Satan took control of this world and relentlessly waged war against the children of men but Yahweh had not for gotten His promise to “bruise” Satan’s “head”. Four thousand years later Elohim Yahweh sent His Son (the role Yahushua played) to this world as a Baby in human flesh, to redeem mankind, as we are told in the Scriptures:

“but when the fulness of the time was come, [Yahweh] God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons”. Galatians 4:4,5.

When Yahushua came to this world, He came as the Word. The same Word which we read in John Chapter 1: 1-4, Who created this world. Concerning Yahushua being the Word, it is written:

“10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of [Elohim] God. 14 And the Word [Yahushua Ha Mashiach] was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth”. John 1: 10-14.

Yahushua, the Word, is the same Elohim in Genesis Chapter 1:1, Who created the heavens and the earth, as we read:

“In the beginning [Elohim] God created the heaven and the earth”.

Elohim Yahweh, the Creator and King of Heaven and all worlds, out of His great love for mankind chose to give up His throne in Glory and come to this sinful world to suffer and give His life for us to save us from the curse of sin and death. Once sin entered this world because of the disobedience of our first parents, Adam and Eve (whose sins passed unto their descendants the entire human race), Elohim Yahweh could have wiped them from off the face of the earth and create new sinless beings. However, because of His love which is beyond human understanding, He did not annihilate them. He chose instead to leave His throne in Glory and come to this world deliver the children of men.

In coming to this world Yahweh, our Creator, took the added Name: SHUA, or Saviour. Thus He became Yahweh-Shua, His saving Name. In short Yahushua, which means: Yahweh is our Saviour. It is one of His many Names. Before the birth of Yahushua, in a dream an angel spoke to Joseph, His earthly guardian and told him the Name by which he should call the Holy Child. The angel also told Joseph the meaning of His Name, as we read in Matthew 1: 21:

“… and thou shalt call his name [YAHUSHUA] JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins”. Matthew 1: 21.

Before Yahushua came to this world, He shared the same equality and glory with Yahweh the Father, as we read in Philippians 2: 5-11:

“5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in [Mashiach Yahushua] Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of [Yahweh] God, thought it not robbery to be equal with [Elohim] God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore [Yahweh] God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of [Yahushua] Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that [Yahushua Ha Mashiach] Jesus Christ is [Adonai] Lord, to the glory of [Yahweh] God the Father”.

Then speaking of the glory which He had with Yahweh the Father before He created the world, Yahushua said:

“ And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was”. John 17: 5.

It is evident that Yahushua, is the Creator and the great King of this world. Yet out of His marvellous love, a love beyond human comprehension, He chose to come to this sin-cursed wicked and evil world. He did not come on a visit but to live in human flesh so that He could enter into our experiences with our emotions, sufferings and sorrows; except that He chose NOT to sin. To show His humanity as He became one with the human race, we read:

“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin”. Hebrews 4: 15.

THE CREATOR AND KING OF KINGS SUFFERED AND DIED FOR ALL MANKIND!!

Yahweh our Creator came to this world with the sole purpose to pay the price for our salvation and to deliver us from Satan and his host. He is the Creator and omniscient Elohim, Who knows all things in the past, present and future. Thus He knew what He would suffer once He came to this world and entered into open combat with Satan, the adversary of souls. He knew every emotion and every pain which He would have to endure for us in order to buy us back to Himself and give back to us eternal life and all that He gave to our first parents, Adam and Eve.

Yahushua unlike us, KNEW ALL THINGS which He would suffer in this world at hands of Satan and his evil angels and human agents. He knew Satan’s main aim would be to kill Him so that he, Satan, could have everlasting dominion is this world which he had usurped from Adam and Eve. Yahushua knew He would be lied upon, tortured, mocked, ridiculed, humiliated, spat upon, have a crown of thorns pressed down into His head, carry a heavy wooden cross upon a brutalised, raw and pulverised body; have nails driven through His hands and feet upon a crude wooden cross. He knew the excruciating pains which would endure when the cross was rudely thrust and rammed into the earth, causing everyone sinew and every nerve in His tortured body to scream out!! Yahushua knew that for six hours He would have to be suspended between heaven and earth on that wooden torture stake, suffering from great thirst, cold, cramps and fiery pains as Satan and his angels and his human agents mocked and ridiculed Him.

Yahushua know all this and yet He chose to come to this world for sinful, ungrateful, arrogant and pathetic human beings!! It is difficult for anyone to write or describe what Yahushua personally endured from the time He was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane on the Thursday night until He died upon the Cross the Friday afternoon. Much is written in the Scriptures concerning the suffering and death of Yahushua, including Matthew Chapters 26 and 27. The prophet Isaiah prophesied about Yahushua’s suffering and death in Isaiah 53, as we read:

“3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of [Yahweh] God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. …7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken”.

This prophecy was fulfilled when Yahushua suffered and died for our sins. However, to give us a little understanding of what He suffered, C Truman Davis, MD, on the topic “What is crucifixion?” A medical doctor’s wrote a physical description in ‘The Expositor's Bible Commentary’. He wrote:

“As he slowly sags down...on the nails in the wrists, excruciating pain shoots along the fingers and up the arms to explode in the brain; the nails in the wrists are putting pressure on the median nerves. As he pushes himself upward to avoid stretching torment, he places the full weight on the nail through his feet. Again he feels the agony of the nail tearing through the nerves between the bones of the feet. As the arms fatigue, cramps sweep through the muscles, knotting them in deep, relentless, throbbing pain. With these cramps comes the inability to push himself upward to breathe. Air can be drawn into the lungs but not exhaled. He fights to raise himself in order to get even one small breath...hours of this limitless pain, cycles of twisting, joint-rending cramps, intermittent partial asphyxiation, searing pain as tissue is torn from his lacerated back as he moves up and down against the rough timber. Then another agony begins: a deep, crushing pain in the chest as the pericardium slowly fills with serum and begins to compress the heart. It is now almost over; the loss of tissue fluids reaches a critical level; the compressed heart is struggling to pump heavy, thick, sluggish blood into the tissues; the tortured lungs are making a frantic effort to gasp in small gulps of air. He can feel the chill of death creeping through his tissues...finally he can allow his body to die.' The Bible records it in these words: 'And they crucified him'. What wondrous love is this?”

This description gives us just a little idea of what our Creator and Saviour suffered for us to redeem us from the curse of sin and death. Yahushua did this for us out of His indescribable love.

DEATH WAS NOT THE END!!

Yahushua, our beloved Saviour, willingly suffered the most excruciating torture and death for us, the human race. Death, however, was not the end for He had the power to lay down His life and the power to take it up again (John 10:18). This He did when He was resurrected three days later as His Father, Yahweh, called Him from Heaven (Matthew 28: 1-10). His resurrection is a fact of history and is kept alive each year as His followers and many others in the world celebrate His death and resurrection on Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday or Easter Sunday. Yahushua, our resurrected Saviour, spent forty days here upon earth following His resurrection and then He ascended to His home and throne in Heaven in full view of His disciples (Acts 1: 9-11).

Yahushua, our Creator and Saviour, came to this world for our sakes and gave His life for us upon the cruel cross of shame. We should never forget His great sacrifice for us or lose sight of where He is now or forget His promise that He is coming again for us. For this reason we are admonished in Hebrews 12: 2-4:

“2Let us fix our eyes on [Yahushua] Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of [Yahweh] God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart”. (NIV).

In this preceding Passage we are reminded of what Yahushua, our King, endured for us. The question is: Why did He endure so much for the human race when it would have been easier to abandon us or wipe us from the face of the earth and create a perfect people? We find the answer in John 3: 16:

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.

Due to His great love for us, He came from Heaven His throne and dwelling place to Planet Earth and willingly suffered and shed His precious blood for us. Out of that great love, He deliberately travailed for us in fulfilment of the prophecy in Isaiah 53: 11:

“He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied”.

HE SHALL B E SATIFIED!!

Why will Yahushua Ha Mashiach, our Creator and Saviour, be satisfied for His sufferings, His pains, and the travail of His soul? We can liken that travail to the severe labour pains a woman suffers before her baby is born and before the joy and happiness a new birth brings to the family.

Yahushua, the omniscient, all powerful, all mighty Elohim looked beyond His own sufferings and all that Satan would cause Him to suffer in His human body. Instead He looked down the passage of time when He would return to this world for His children, those who have accepted Him as their personal Saviour from sin. Thus He looked at the time described in Matthew 24: 31:

“And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other”.

With great joy He saw His glorious return for His waiting children as 1 Thessalonians 4: 16,17, records for us:

16 For [Yahushua] the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of [Yahweh] God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet [Yahushua] the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with [Yahushua] the Lord.

Yahushua Ha Mashiach looked with pride to the time when He will give the reward and say to His redeemed children, as we read in Matthew 25:34-40:

“Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, [King Yahushua] Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me”.

With utmost satisfaction, Yahushua saw the time when His children will be with Him in Heaven for one thousand years enjoying the glories of Heaven and the mansions He has prepared for them, as He says in John 14: 1-3:

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also”.

Thus with glorious anticipation Yahushua, our loving Saviour, looks forward to the time when His obedient children will enter through the gates of Heaven into that glorious city, as we are told in Revelation 22: 14:

“Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city”.

At that glorious Heavenly Home Coming, our loving King Yahushua will be dressed in His royal robes and crown as with joy and gladness and a most radiant smile, He will welcome each of His redeemed children, all dressed in white, into His wonderful kingdom. Indeed His soul will be satisfied as He welcomes millions upon millions of His children to spend one thousand years with Him there in Heaven (Revelation 20: 4, 6).

Not only will King Yahushua welcome His redeemed children in Heaven, He will exalt them and place them on the thrones He has provided for them. During that time in Heaven they will be given the opportunity to judge those who rejected their Saviour. They will also be given the privilege to judge Satan and His angels. Concerning the work of judgment which the saints will be given, we read in Revelation 20: 4-6:

“4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of [Yahushua] Jesus, and for the word of [Elohim] God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with [Mashiach] Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of [Elohim] God and of [Mashiach] Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years”.

Heaven is not meant to be the home of the children of men! This world is the home of the human race. Hence the reason Yahushua will do a thorough work of cleansing of the Planet with molten fire and brimstone. At that time of cleansing this world He will also cleanse it from all sins and sinners. He will also cleanse it from Satan, the Master Deceiver, Thief, Liar and Murderer and also his evil angels who rebelled with him in Heaven and were cast out of Heaven with him (Revelation 12:7-9; Revelation 20:10; 2 Peter 2:4). According to Yahweh's Word, when this world is cleansed with fire and brimstone in the final judgment (Malachi 4:1; 2 Peter 3:10), Yahushua will create the new heaven and the new earth where He will live and dwell with His children, as we read in Revelation 21: 1-4:

“1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from [Elohim] God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of [Elohim] God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and [Elohim] God himself shall be with them, and be their [Elohim] God. 4 And [Yahushua] God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away”.

In that beautiful new earth which John was shown, when He was taken to Heaven in the spirit, and which He wrote for our benefit; he says:

• “22 And I saw no temple therein: for [Adonai Elohim the Almighty] the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of [Elohim] God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. 25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life”. Revelation 21: 22-27.

• “3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4 and they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever”. Revelation 22: 3-5.

Thus King Yahushua will be satisfied when He is with His children in the new earth. He also looked forward to that time when His children will be with Him and come into their full inheritance, enabling them to fully understand the Text in 1Corinthians 2:9:

“Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which[Elohim] God hath prepared for them that love him”.

For then the prophecy in Isaiah 65: 21-4 will be fulfilled:

“21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of [Adonai] the Lord, and their offspring with them. 24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear”.

Yahushua saw the time when sin will be eradicated in the new earth and where ungodliness would not be resurrected. Yes, He looked with deep satisfaction and untold joy to that time in His new kingdom when ALL the trials and troubles of this sinful world will be forever be passed. Thus among the many evils which plague the human race and affected the rest of the beautiful world He created, there will be no more wars of any kind anywhere in the universe or any more of man’s inhumanity to man. There will be no more murders, no more robberies, no more cast systems, or rich, poor or destitute. There will be no more disasters including famines, great earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, cyclones, hurricanes, floods, mine disasters, devastating fires, oils slicks and ecological disasters. There will be no more strikes, frauds, drug pedalling and drug cartels, no more joblessness, no more hunger or thirst, no more nakedness, no slavery in its various forms, including human trafficking or abandoned infants and children. There will be no more deceptions, atheism and paganism in all its forms. There will be no more secularism or isms of any form. There will be no more race wars, religious wars and no more religious persecutions and martyrdom of His children because they choose Him, Yahushua, their blessed Saviour. There will be no more ungodliness, immorality, abominable practices, sex trade, pornography, child abuse or calling what is good, evil or calling what is evil, good!! There will be no more confusion and multiplicity of the gods and religions and the blatant denial by so many in this world that Elohim: Yahweh, Yahushua and the Ruach Ha Kodesh, reigns and is the only Creator, Saviour and Redeemer. Never again will Satan deceive the nations and be the god of this world for He will be removed from this world and cast into the Lake of fire and brimstone, where he will spend the rest of eternity.

Yes, Yahushua our loving King looks beyond the great troubles of this world, due sin, to the time when His children and all His created creatures will be totally delivered and set free from the ravages and blight of sin. That is the time when righteousness will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea and His redeemed children will bask in the sunshine of His great love and sacrifice for them. At that time the prophecy in Isaiah 11:9, will be fulfilled:

“They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of [ADONAI] the LORD, as the waters cover the sea”.

When our Elohim created the human race, He did so that they would not only enjoy the blessings of the beautiful world He created, but that they would worship and fellowship their Creator. Yahushua therefore from that very early time looked forward to the time when worship and fellowship would be restored and when His children would worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). That worship would be similar to that of the worship of the holy angels in Heaven. It is the worship spoken about in Isaiah and will be done throughout the longs ages of eternity. Thus it is written in Isaiah 66: 22,23:

“22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain
before me, saith [Adonai] the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith [Adonai] the Lord”.

In addition to those glorious Sabbath worship, Yahushua our Redeemer saw His children worshipping on a daily basis as they joined the angels and say:

“Holy, holy, holy, [Adonai Elohim the Almighty] Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. . . . Thou art worthy, O [Adonai] Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created”. Revelation 4: 8-11.

Then those redeemed children will sing from the depth of their hearts with loud voices:

“9 . . . Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to [Elohim] God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast made us unto our [Elohim] God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth”. Revelation 5: 9,10.

While the angels will say:

11. . .Worthy is the Lamb [Yahushua] that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing”. Revelation 5: 11

As all creatures in heaven and earth and those under the earth and in the sea join in and say;

“13 . . . Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb [Yahushua] for ever and ever.” Revelation 22:13.

Yahushua looked beyond the sin problem, His coming from His throne in Heaven to this world and His great suffering, to the time when His children will be with Him in Heaven. He then looked to the time when they will be with Him in the new earth and when He will dwell with them throughout eternity worshipping their Elohim in the beauty of holiness and enjoying the wonderful things He has prepared for them, totally free from the bight of sin. Thus He willingly came to this world and gave His life for sinners whom He called friends, as John 15: 13: says:

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends”.

When therefore, Yahushua Ha Mashiach returns for His children, puts an end to Satan and his hosts and cleanses this world of sins and sinners and His children are with Him in Heaven, followed by the wonderful new earth; He will be greatly pleased for the sacrifice He made. The joy of sins eradicated, Satan and his demons incarcerated in the lake of fire and brimstone, and His children, including you and me, happy and free from the evils of this present world, He will be filled with great satisfaction and joys unlimited. Thus the giving up His throne in the Heavens of heavens and coming to this evil and sinful world where He willingly entered into open combat with Satan will be counted all joy. He will regard the things He suffered for our sakes, including the insults, humiliation and torture, His crucifixion and cruel death upon Cross as nothing when we are with Him in His glory.

King Yahushua because of His love and His unselfish sacrifice for us gladly took our sins in exchange for His sinless life when He suffered and died for us. He gave His precious life for us so that we can have eternal life with Him. Thus Yahushua our King and Saviour made it possible for every man woman and child to be saved in His eternal kingdom of Glory. Therefore, when His redeemed children throughout the ages are all gathered home and are with Him forever, first in Heaven and then in the new earth; where they will live and reign with Him, “HE SHALL SEE OF THE TRAVAIL OF HIS SOUL, AND SHALL BE SATISFIED”.

WILL YOU BE AMONG THE REDEEMED?

Yahushua has done everything and paid the price for your redemption so that you can be in His kingdom of Glory, followed by the new earth which He will create (Isaiah 65:17; Revelation 21: 1). He is waiting for the time when He, the King of kings will welcome you, along with all the redeemed into the kingdom of Heaven. The question is: Will you be one of those whom He will welcome into the kingdom of Heaven?? He has already paid the price for your redemption free of charge and made it possible for you to be with Him. However, for you to enter into His kingdom of Glory and to be with Him, you MUST INVITE HIM, YAHUSHUA Ha MASHIACH, TO BE YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOUR FROM SIN AND ALLOW HIM TO BE THE ADONAI OR LORD OF YOUR LIFE.

By taking that step TO COMMIT YOUR LIFE TO YAHUSHUA, if you have not already done so, is the ONLY ASSURANCE YOU WILL HAVE TO enter through the gates and into the City of Heaven. Likewise, accepting Yahushua as your personal Saviour from sin is the only guarantee you will have that Yahushua’s travail for you will NOT BE IN VAIN!!

We are living in the end times, and at anytime we could leave this world because the life in this world is not assured. At any time also the final declaration can be made:

“He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still”. Revelation 22: 11.

That declaration will be followed by Yahushua’s Word:

“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be”. Revelation 22: 12.

Matthew 24: 30, 31, will then become a reality:

“30 and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man [King Yahushua] in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man [King Yahushua Ha Mashiach] coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other”.

The First Coming of King Yahushua to this world was a REALITY!! It is kept alive and celebrated each year at Christmas time, the happiest time of the year. His Second Coming will also be a REALITY!! Concerning that time Revelation 1;7, says:
“Behold, he [King Yahushua] cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen”.

There will be NO SECRET ABOUT YAHUSHUA’S RETURN TO THIS WORLD BECAUSE EVERYONE WILL SEE HIM AND GIVE AN ACCOUNT TO HIM OF THEIR LIVES IN THIS WORLD!!

In Revelation 1:7, it says that “all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.”

Those who have accepted Him as their personal Saviour will not have to be afraid and “wail” because they will say:

“… Lo, this is our [Elohim] God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is [King Yahushua] the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation”. Isaiah 25:9.

Committing the life to Yahushua, our Saviour is very important and should not be delayed. Thus Elohim says in His Word:

“Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation”. Hebrews 3:16.

If you have not yet made King Yahushua your personal Saviour, I would like to invite you to do so while the door of mercy is still opened to you. Yahushua does not force any of us to accept Him as our Saviour but He tells us what He has done by sacrificing His life for each of us. Likewise, He tells us the consequences if we reject His great sacrifice for us. That consequence will be to go to Hell and torment at death (Luke 16: 19-31), followed by the Lake of fire and brimstone in the final judgment (Revelation 20: 11-15).

Yahushua loves you with unconditional love and wants you to be saved in His eternal kingdom. Therefore, if you have not accepted Him as your personal Saviour from sin and would like do so, Please pray this simple prayer: (Sinner’s prayer)

Yahushua, I believe You are the Son of Yahweh (God) and that you left Your throne in Heaven 2000 years ago and came here to this world. I believe You suffered, shed Your blood and died upon the Cross of shame for me, paid the price for my sin and redeemed me from the curse of sin and eternal torment in Hell and the lake of fire and brimstone.

I believe Yahweh, the Father, raised You from the dead after three days in the grave. I believe you returned to Heaven, Your throne and that soon You are coming back to this world for Your children.

Yahushua, I confess that I am a sinner in need of Your saving grace. I am sorry for the sins I have committed. Please forgive me. Today, I accept You as my personal Saviour from sin. Please come into my life and take full control. Please cleanse me from all my sins and be the Adonai (Lord) of my life. In Your precious Name, Yahushua, I declare that I am born again and have passed from death to eternal life. From this day forward I am Yours. Please baptise and fill me with the Ruach Ha Kodesh (the Holy Spirit) and please use me for Your service.

Gracious Yahweh, my Father, I pray this prayer in Yahushua’s Name. Amen.

If you have said this prayer and accepted Yahushua as your Saviour and if you are not already attending a church under the power of the Ruach Ha Kodesh; please ask the Ruach Ha Kodesh to lead you to one such church, Ministry of fellowship that you can have a spiritual home where you will find fellowship and be fed and nurtured in your Elohim. If you do not have a Bible with Yahweh's Word, please get one and with the help of the Ruach Ha Kodesh, our Elohim here upon earth, read it daily and meditate upon the sacred words. Then ensure that you spend time in prayer each day so that you can have a personal relationship with Yahushua your Saviour and grow in His grace and knowledge, as you await His return or to be with Him in Glory should you leave this world in death.

BE BLESSED AS YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE IN YAHUSHUA AND AWAIT HIS GLORIOUS RETURN. SHALOM! SHALOM!!
