THINK NOT THAT I AM COME TO SEND PEACE
“JESUS loves everybody. He came into this world to bring peace, love and understanding for our fellow man. Jesus hates war …love… love…and more love..” Whether you are Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, Lutheran, Pentecostal, Assembly of God, Jehovah’s Witness, or some other denomination, you have probably heard these words spoken from the pulpits dozens, if not hundreds of times. As we well know, the Bible flows smoothly, from Genesis to Revelation, without contradiction. Any time the Bible seems to contradict itself, it is because someone has either misunderstood one of, or both of the passages that seem to be in conflict.
With that being said, let us first start with the Old Testament, before we move on to the New Testament. Here is what King David said about Yahweh blessing him with prowess in battle.
II Samuel 22: 35: ”He [YHVH] teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.”
Verse 36: “Thou hast given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.”
Verse 37: “Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.”
Verse 38: “I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.”
Verse 39: “And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.”
Verse 40: ”For thou girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.”
Verse 41: “Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.”
Verse 42: “They looked but there was none to save; even unto YHVH, but He answered them not. ” (Even when the enemies of David called upon Yahweh
to save them, He did not answer them.)
Verse 43: “Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.”
These words, come from King David, whom the Scriptures tell us was a righteous man. What did this righteous king have to say about the enemies of God?
Psalm 139:19: “Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.”
Verse 20: ”For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.”
Verse 21: ”Do not I hate them, O YHVH, that hate thee? And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?”
Verse 22: “I hate them with a perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.”
Verse 23: “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:”
Verse 24: “And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
That is right, David hated the enemies of Yahweh with a perfect hatred, and counted them as his enemies. Do you do any less? Perhaps this is difficult for some to understand, so let us see what the Scriptures say about love and hate, peace and war.
Ecclesiastes 3:1: “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”
Verse 2: “A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;”
Verse 3: “A time to KILL, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;”
Verse 4: “A time to weep, and a time to laugh; and a time to mourn, and a time to dance;”
Verse 5: “A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;”
Verse 6: “A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;”
Verse 7: “A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;”
Verse 8: “A time to love, and a time to HATE; a time of WAR, and a time of peace.”
There is a great deal written in the Old Testament about this, but for the sake of space, let us get just a few more. We are to love our Christian brothers and sisters when they wrong us, but the Scriptures are filled with examples of what we are to do to the enemies of Yahweh.
Deuteronomy 7:1: ”When YHVH thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;” (For who have eyes with which to see, all of these nations are of the Serpent Seed.)*
Verse 2: “And when YHVH thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them.”
Verse 3: ”Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughters thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.”
Verse 4: ”For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of YHVH be kindled against you, and destroy suddenly.”
Verse 5: ”But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.”
Verse 22: ”And YHVH thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once least the beasts of the field increase upon thee.”
Verse 23: “But YHVH thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.”
Verse 24: ”And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under the heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.”
Verse 25: “The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver and gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to YHVH thy God.”
“Oh… that is nothing but Old Testament hate … I’m going to practise New Testament love.” Certainly we have all heard such blasphemy, but contemplate this. Who is the Yahshua/ Jesus Christ in your New Testament? He is Yahweh, the God of the Old Testament, manifest into a flesh body. Yahshua was and still is the Messiah. Jesus is king of kings and lord of lords! He is the ONLY God of heaven and earth. Any man who tells you that He is anything less than the Yahweh God of the Old Testament made manifest in a flesh body is an anti-Christ, and shall not see the Kingdom! As II John tells us, do not even welcome such a person into your home, nor wish them God-speed or you are a partaker of their evil deeds. These words you just read from the Old Testament are the words of Jesus Christ (the Father, Seed, and Holy Spirit all in one). If you deny that, then you deny that He is the only true God, and you should stop reading this Bible-study, and go back to your “Anton LeVay’s Satanic Bible”.
With the understanding that those things written in the Old Testament were written by the same God of the New Testament, that God being Yahweh/Yahshua (the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit which were all made manifest in a flesh body), we have a basis for the things written in the New Testament conceming peace. Contrary to what you have been told by these Ba’al ministers and false prophets, there is no contradiction in the Holy Bible. Never does Christ contradict or do away with the prophecies and commandments of the Old Testament, but rather He validates them. With that being said, we shall explore the New Testament.
Matthew 10:34: “Think not that I (Yahshua) am sent to bring peace on the earth: I came not to send peace but a sword.”
Verse 35: ”For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.”
Verse 36: “And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.”
Verse 37: ”He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me.”
Verse 38: “And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.”
Why will men be sat at variance against their fathers? Their fathers are not following the commandments of Yahshua. Certainly some who are reading this are saying by now, “… but I thought that Jesus loves everyone … ” Oh? Where is that written? “… but I thought that Jesus was a peaceful man, and came to bring world peace and world harmony?” Oh? Where is that written? Christ told you the opposite in Matthew 10:34.
John 15:1: “I (Yahshua) am the true vine, and my Father is the husband man.” (Bear in mind that when Yahshua speaks about the Father, He is referring to the spirit that dwells in His fleshly tabemacle.)
Verse 2: “Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.”
This is to say that those who proclaim to draw from the true vine, but do not product fruit shall be cut off from the true vine, being Yashua. If God loves everybody, why are. some cut off from Yahshua? Yahweh does this with his church, just as a gardener does this with a fruit producing tree. Those who do not produce fruit (saplings which do not grow, and dead branches), are cut off from their gifts from God so that no energy of the plant is wasted, and their gifts are given to those who are producing fruit, so that they may grow stronger, and produce even more fruit than before.
Verse 3: ”Now ye are clean through the word, which I have spoken unto you.”
Verse 4: “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.”
Verse 5: “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
Verse 6: “If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.”
Well, does Jesus love those who are cast forth and burned? The pastors say yes, but let us see what Jesus said in a few verses.
Verse 7: “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”
Verse 8: “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciple.”
Verse 9: “As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.” (If we are to continue in His love, this means that there are those who do not.)
Verse 10: “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.”
If you keep Yashua’s commandments, you shall abide in His love. What commandments? Is he talking about the Ten Commandments? No! There are many commandments. Do His commandments allow you to lie? How about the one that tells you not to commit adultery? How many of you have committed adultery? I suppose that is OK now, since we are under the grace of the New Testament? That is what these preacher and ministers are trying to tell you. How about the one that says to touch the carcass of a swine, not even going so far as to eat, it is an abomination in the sight of Yahweh? Will those who eat swine everyday abide in His love when they know that the Bible absolutely forbids you from touching this unnatural beast? What about the commandment that tells you to never give your sons to their daughters or your daughters to their sons in marriage? How about the commandment that tells you that any man who lies with another man has committed abomination in the sight of Yahweh, and MUST be put to death? Where does it say in your Bible that you are to invite them into your church? What about the commandment that says anyone, who lay with a beast, must be put to death along with the beast. It is abomination! How many of those reading this have fornicated with the black beast, which is nothing but a 6th day creation … a beast of the field? For those bankers out there … have you ever read the commandment where you are never to charge your Israelite brother usury on a loan? If we desire to abide in Yahshua’s love, we had better start following His commandments.
Verse 11: “These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be fulfilled.”
Verse 12: “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.”
This is a very powerful, yet very misunderstood commandment, we shall decipher its rather simple meaning. Is this commandment telling you to love everyone? Is Yahshua commanding you to love the heathen and the pagan? Is He commanding you to love those who blaspheme His holy name in their synagogues every Saturday? Is Yahshua commanding you to love those who do not abide in His love? No… He is commanding us to love one another AS He has loved us. We are to love those who abide in His love, and keep His commandments and sayings. True Christianity is a family. A family descending from the Israelites of old, who are called Christians today, and we are to love those who love our Father, with a perfect love. On the other hand, we are to hate His enemies with a perfect hatred. This commandment in John 15:12 tells us what to do with Yahshua’s friends, but what of His enemies?
Luke 19: 27: “But those mine enemies, which would not that I should rule over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.”
Would you like to see an example written in the New Testament of someone Yahweh hated? Please read the rest of the chapter this verse appears in, it is very explosive, as are all the writings of Paul, who was the prince of the apostles.
Romans 9:13: “As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.”
Now, many of the ministers of Ba’al will try to trick you in this regard, but be you not fooled by their attempts to blind you. They will try to tell you that this word “hated” means “loved less”. It is taken from the Greek word “miseo”, which means: hatred, to detest, to persecute, and BY extension to love less. The Entire book of Obadiah is dedicated to cursing Esau, but let us stop on one verse.
Obadiah verse 18: “And the house of Jacob (this is all of Israel) shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph (called England today, and by extension, Americans of English descent) a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau: for Yahweh hath spoken it.”
Does this sound like Yahweh “loved Esau less”, or does it sound like hate? Is it any coincidence that the Encyclopedia Judaica states that it is inappropriate to call a Hebrew a Jew, or a Jew an Israelite, that ESAU IS THE FOUNDATION OF JEWRY? Is it by chance that the most holy books of Judaism, the Babylonian Talmud, say that Esau was the one God loved, and Jacob only obtained his inheritance by trickery?
I ask you again, where in this Holy Bible are the “Love-love, peace-peace” doctrines so many teach today, lifted from? When Yahshua retums to this earth, all of these false teachers and ministers of Ba’al, shall tremble with fear, for they know that they have taught His children to make peace with His enemies, and have tricked them into captivity in the last days by telling them that they shall simply “fly away” long before things get too bad. Read of the “peaceful” return of Christ! Let this scene of Yahweh’s fleet burn into your minds.
Revelation 19:11: ”And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make WAR.”
Verse 12: ”His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He himself.”
Verse 13: ”And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”
Verse 14: ”And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.”
Verse 15: ”And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.”
Verse 16: ”And he hath on His vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
Verse 17: ”And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God.”
Verse 18: “That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.”
Verse 19: ”And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him that sat on the horse, and against His army “
Verse 20: ”And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.”
Verse 21: ”And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.”
Amen
