Why Yahshua Messiah Must Return
A powerful tornadoe destroys a whole town. A crazy gunman kills a number of people in a public place. An incurable disease takes a person’s life. When disasters or tragedies like those happen, many people ask, Why? Many ask why the world is so full of hatred and suffering. Have you ever wondered about that yourself? The Bible shows that men who had deep faith in the Almighty Creator Yahweh also asked such questions. For example, the prophet Habakkuk asked Almighty Yahweh: “Why do You show me iniquity, And cause me to see trouble? For plundering and violence are before me; There is strife, and contention arises” (Habakkuk 1:3). In today’s message we are going to share with you why Yahshua the Messiah must return to earth. We are going to prove wrong those who say that everything that happens to a person, including tragedies, has already been decided by Yahweh and that we can never understand why. Others may even say that people, including little children, die so that they can be with Yahweh in heaven. But that isn’t true! Heavenly Father Yahweh never causes bad things to happen! The Bible says: “…Far be it from Yahweh to do wickedness, And from the Almighty to commit iniquity” (Job 34:10). In fact, Almighty Yahweh is doing things for our good and far better that we can ever understand. He says: “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8-9). Did you grasp what you have read?
This world is desperately wicked! In spite of super-technology and the explosion of scientific knowledge created by more efficient computer systems, the space program, and the advancements in medical science, our world is not getting better! In recent years, we have heard much of arms and nuclear reduction, plans to clean up the environment, promises to rebuild the economy. We are reminded daily of the murderers, rapists, child molesters, arsonists, and drug traffickers that plague our cities and stalk our streets. We also see the growing threat of violent street gangs, of mounting economic woes, and of intense tension in the Middle East and other parts of the world. We have polluted many of our waterways and estuaries. Hazardous chemical wastes and deadly radioactive pollution continue to be a problem, in spite of government-sponsored efforts to clean up old dump sites and improve existing storage facilities. Air pollution, in spite of government regulations remains a problem to many heavily populated areas across the globe. Now, we face the most devastating form of pollution of all—mind pollution! All over the world millions of youths, many in their preteen years, are drinking in of the filth available to anyone owning a television, video tape player, or cell phone. Pornographic materials, portraying just about every form of lewd, sexual perversity imaginable reaches millions of young developing minds. This information molds wrong attitudes about sex, marriage, and the male-female relationship. It has also contributed to the development of sexual deviant behavior and resultant sex crimes. Indeed, our world is chronic sick. And one thing is evident: Our problems are not going away!
Furthermore, many ministers, pastors, rabbis, priests, and evangelists often say that it is Yahweh’s will that people suffer. Many people blame Yahweh for all the suffering in the world because they think that Yahweh rules the world. But in case you do not know, according to Yahshua Messiah and Bible, the ruler of this world is Satan the devil (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11). The apostle Paul called Satan the devil “the god of this age” (2 Corinthians 4:4). And the apostle John wrote that “the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one” (1 John 5:19). The real ruler of this present world, Satan, is vicious and cruel. He is “deceiving the whole world” (Revelation 12:9). Many people imitate him. And that’s just one reason why the world is so full of lies, hatred, and cruelty. There are other reasons why there is so much suffering in the world. In the garden of Eden, Satan misled Adam and Eve. Satan accused Yahweh of being a bad Ruler. He claimed that Yahweh was keeping something good from Adam and Eve. Satan wanted them to believe that he would be a better ruler than Yahweh and that they did not need Yahweh (Genesis 3:2-5). So Heavenly Father Yahweh gave Satan time to prove whether his accusation was true. Yahweh also gave humans time to setup their own governments on earth under Satan’s guidance to show whether they could be truly successful without Yahweh’s help. Also, after Adam and Eve rebelled against Yahweh, they passed sin unto their children. And because of sin, humans cause other humans to suffer. They often want to be more important than others. They fight, they go to war, and they bully others (Ecclesiastes 4:1; 8:9). Sometimes people suffer because of “time and unexpected events” (Ecclesiastes 9:11) When people are in the wrong place at the wrong time, accidents and other bad things can happen to them. Satan is the true culprit who has come to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10) all of humanity! Almighty Yahweh has nothing to do with it.
Meanwhile, for thousands of years, the humankind have tried to rule themselves, but they have failed. Satan the devil has been proven a liar! Why? Because humans do need Yahweh’s help! The prophet Jeremiah was right when he said: “O Yahweh, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps” (Jeremiah 10:23). It has taken time to prove that Satan’s rule have failed. Humans have tried every kind of government, without success! Even though they have made advances in science and technology, there is more injustice, poverty, crime, and war than ever before. We cannot successfully rule ourselves without the Elohim of the Bible. Notice that Yahweh has not fixed all the problems caused by Satan the devil! If He did, it would mean Heavenly Father Yahweh supports Satan’s rulership, and He will never do that! Also, humans would also believe that they are able to rule themselves successfully. But that is a lie, and Almighty Yahweh would not support that either! “It is impossible for Yahweh to lie” (Hebrews 6:18). It is very important for all of us to understand that Almighty Yahweh never causes suffering and death. He’s not to blame for war, crime, and mistreatment. He does not cause disasters such as tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, floods, fires, snowstorms, avalanches, etc. But Yahweh sometimes allow Satan to do those for purposes of correcting human errors! Our Father in heaven Yahweh cares deeply for us and He doesn’t want all the suffering and death to continue on forever. Yahweh loves us, as Yahweh is love (1 John 4:8). Therefore, we must also love one another, which is the second greatest commandment (Matthew 22:39).
Now, you may be asking yourself, “Can Yahweh repair all the damage that has been caused by the rebellion of Satan and humans?” Yes! With Yahweh, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26; Mark 10:27). Yahweh knows when all of Satan’s challenges will have been fully answered. Then He will make the planet earth into a paradise, as it was meant to be. At (Habakkuk 2:2-3) we read Yahweh’s answer to the prophet Habakkuk’s questions and His promise to correct the situation. Our Father in heaven Yahweh has deep love for people. The Bible says: “He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). As mentioned earlier, He hates to see suffering much more than we do. In fact, our Father in heaven Yahweh loves us so much that He decided to sent His begotten Son Yahshua to be the Savior of mankind! (John 3:16). We are so grateful that in the meantime Yahweh has been patient with us so that we can come to know Him and can decide that we want Him to be our Ruler. Notice! “Yahweh is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). Even when we suffer, He helps us to endure (1 Corinthians 10:13). But Yahweh warns that His patience will also stop one day to deal with those who still continue to ignore and disobey Him. “But the day of Yahweh will come as a thief in the night in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up” (2 Peter 3:10). Yahweh does not force us to choose Him as our Ruler, but He gave humans the gift of free will. Yahweh’s wonderful gift of free will makes us very different from the animals. Animals mainly act because of their instincts, but we can choose how we want to live our lives and decide whether we want to serve Yahweh. We have the freedom to make choices about whom we want to be, whom we want as our friends, and what we want to do with our life. But Yahweh wants us to love Him first (Matthew 22:37-38). As a Father, He is happy to hear us, His children, say “I love you” sincerely from our heart and not because we’re forced to. Verily, Almighty Yahweh’s coming Kingdom on earth will remove all kinds of human sufferings, including death, upon Yahshua Messiah’s return!
In closing, in spite of the fact that the Holy Bible is the number one best-selling book of all time, religious deception engulfs this world. Notice that false prophets, scoffers who deny the second-coming of Yahshua Messiah, and widespread deception among the man-made churches are the prevailing characteristics of the last days! The full rejection of the second-coming of Yahshua by liberal theologians and many religious “gurus” is but one of the many signs of the prophesied end of the age scenario. The true Savior of mankind, Yahshua, Himself, spoke of a time when many false prophets and false Messiahs would come in His name, performing great signs and wonders, and deceiving many —all this at a time of intense persecution against Yahweh’s true people. With religious deception comes religious persecution. And though the pages of history are sprinkled with the blood of the martyrs of Yahshua Messiah, we have yet to see the worst of times! Yahshua said, “Then shall they deliver you (Yahshua’s true followers) up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended , and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another” (Matthew 24:9-10). The final martyrdom of saints will come at a time when intense international strife will have reached a pinnacle, resulting in wars, which will be followed by massive famines and dreadful disease outbreaks—a time of unprecedented global turmoil! Yahshua warns, “For there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened” (Matthew 24:21-22). Notice! Without the divine intervention of Yahweh, no flesh will survive! This Bible prophecy can only be for a time when humans has the capacity to destroy all life from off this planet. We are now living in such a time! Humanity is headed toward self-annihilation and utter destruction! Unless our Father in heaven Yahweh intervenes into the affairs of humankind, there remains no hope for the future of our planet, no hope for our children and our children’s children—no hope at all! That is why Yahshua Messiah must return! Truly, the precious gift of salvation and eternal life awaits those who will endure until the end! We pray that Yahweh and Yahshua bless our brethren having the same faith all over the world. And may the Holy Spirit convict all of this true and faithful message. Shalom, Halleluyah!
