EliYah's message:

HalleluYah!
Last week I shared part I of a message on the subject of head coverings
At that time my intention was to give part II this week
But at this time I feel that there are some improvements and clarifications that I wish to make on part II
Also there are many here among us tonite who have not read part I
I believe that it is very difficult to fully understand part II unless you have read part I
Therefore, I would like to encourage everyone tonite to visit the transcript page to read part I of the study so that the message can be shared next week.
The URL is:

Thanks :)
Previous to the study of last week there was a series of studies on the importance of keeping Yahweh's law..
Yahweh's law is the standard of righteousness for all mankind
We have all failed to live up to that standard
So tonite I would like to talk about the blessing of mercy

Psalms 103:8 - YAHWEH is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

Psalms 103:9 - He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

Psalms 103:10 - He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

Psalms 103:11 - For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

How high is the heavens above the earth?
Where is the furthest star?
I believe it is infinite

Psalms 103:12 - As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Consider this for but a moment..
If you were to go east, how far would you go before you would stop going east?
It is infinite
forever
If you were to go west, how far would you go before you would stop going west?
It is infinite also!
forever!!
Even so are the transgressions of those who revere Him removed from Him!

Psalms 103:13 - Like as a father pitieth his children, so YAHWEH pitieth them that fear him.

Psalms 103:14 - For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

Psalms 103:15 - As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

Psalms 103:16 - For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

Psalms 103:17 - But the mercy of YAHWEH is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

Notice that it says "His righteousness" is upon us
That can only be through Yahshua!

Psalms 103:18 - To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

Psalms 103:19 - YAHWEH hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

Unlike man who will soon pass away, Yahweh's mercy is from everlasting to everlasting!!
But upon who does He give His mercy?
This is an important question!
Surely it is upon the lowly and humble

Proverbs 3:33 - The curse of YAHWEH is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

Proverbs 3:34 - Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth favor unto the lowly.

The humble and lowly state of a servant of Yahweh is what seperated Moses from the other Israelites, David from Saul and Yahshua's disciples from the religious 'leaders' of that day.
These are the people that Yahweh would save and show mercy toward!
For all have sinned

2Samuel 22:26 - With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.

2Samuel 22:27 - With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.

2Samuel 22:28 - And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

Proverbs 15:33 - The fear of YAHWEH is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

Psalms 51:17 - The sacrifices of Elohim are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O Elohim, thou wilt not despise.

Isaiah 66:1 - Thus saith YAHWEH, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

Isaiah 66:2 - For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things have been, saith YAHWEH: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

How many tremble at His word today?
Rather, we hear the boasting of men..that they do not care that they have sinned because it is 'under the blood'
and they boast that they are 'saved'
But Yahshua taught that He who endures to the end will be saved
And we know not the future, what it will hold and if we will stand!
But Yahweh will look upon the poor and contrite ones who tremble at His word.
Jeremiah declared the mercy of Yahweh

Lamentations 3:18 - And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from YAHWEH:

Lamentations 3:19 - Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.

Lamentations 3:20 - My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.

In his humility He remembered...

Lamentations 3:21 - This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.

Lamentations 3:22 - It is of YAHWEH's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

Lamentations 3:23 - They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

Yahweh Himself declared His mercy to all people. In fact, He wrote this with His own finger:

Deuteronomy 5:8 - Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:

Deuteronomy 5:9 - Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I YAHWEH thy Elohim am a jealous El, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

Deuteronomy 5:10 - And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

Even in His law..written with His own finger..He declares His mercy
Though the children of Israel moved Him to anger countless times, Yahweh still forgave them:

Exodus 34:1 - And YAHWEH said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.

Exodus 34:2 - And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.

Exodus 34:3 - And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.

Exodus 34:4 - And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as YAHWEH had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.

Exodus 34:5 - And YAHWEH descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of YAHWEH.

Exodus 34:6 - And YAHWEH passed by before him, and proclaimed, YAHWEH,

Exodus 34:7 - Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

If we read on, we see that He did forgive the children of Israel for their sins. We need not read very far in the scriptures including the Torah to see that Yahweh has abundant mercy.

Psalms 85:9 - Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.

Psalms 85:10 - Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

People today act as if there is no mercy in what they call the Old Testament
They need to read these verses!

Isaiah 55:7 - Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto YAHWEH, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our Elohim, for he will abundantly pardon.

Isaiah 55:8 - For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith YAHWEH.

Isaiah 55:9/s -

Psalms 84:11 - For YAHWEH Elohim is a sun and shield: YAHWEH will give favor and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

However, the mercy of Yahweh should not lead us to sin again
As the "new testament" says

Romans 2:4 - Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of YAHWEH leadeth thee to repentance?

So His mercy is an absolutely positively FREE gift to the humble who repent of their ways!
Yahshua said:

Matthew 6:14 - For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

Matthew 6:15 - But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

So there certainly are conditions to forgiveness aren't there?
Some are living a life of sadness and pain and spiritual cancer because they believe Yahweh is holding a grudge against them for their lack of faith or lack of obedience toward Him.

Luke 7:47 - Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

Some believe that Yahweh has not pardoned their sins regardless of their cries to Him.
The humility and reverence for Yahweh is beautiful. But to those I ask one question, "Would Yahweh expect our mercy to exceed His own?"
Consider what Yahshua said here:

Matthew 18:21 - Then came Kepha to him, and said, Rabbi, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

Matthew 18:22 - Yahushua saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Yahweh surely wouldn't hold a standard of mercy for us that He wouldn't hold up Himself
But it is true that we must ask in humility and repentance
See, Yahweh loves us..

1John 4:9 - In this the love of YAHWEH was manifested toward us, that YAHWEH has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

1John 4:10 - In this is love, not that we loved YAHWEH, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

The following is an often quoted verse..but read its context

John 3:16 - For YAHWEH so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:17 - For YAHWEH sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 3:18 - He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of YAHWEH.

As we saw in the Exodus verse earlier..His name is related to His mercy
His mercy is AWESOME!!

Romans 5:7 - For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

Romans 5:8 - But YAHWEH commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, the Messiah died for us.

Does this not prove His love toward us?
We did nothing but rebelled against Yahweh!
So what did He do? Destroy us?
Curse us? Leave us without a savior?
No way!!!
Yahweh's love for us is NOT an empty promise!!
It is backed up by HIS WORKS, HalleluYah!!
Some time ago I shared a story about a train
Some of you have heard it, others have not
For those who have not, consider these words:
There was once a bridge which spanned a large river.
During most of the day the bridge sat with its length running up and down the river parallel with the banks, allowing ships to pass through freely on both sides of the bridge.
But at certain times each day, a train would come along and the bridge would be turned sideways across the river, allowing a train to cross it.
A switchman sat in a small shack on one side of the river where he operated the controls to turn the bridge and lock it into place as the train crossed.
One evening as the switchman was waiting for the last train of the day to come, he looked off into the distance through the dimming twilight and caught sight of the train lights.
He stepped to the control and waited until the train was within a prescribed distance when he was to turn the bridge.
He turned the bridge into position, but, to his horror, he found the locking control did not work.
If the bridge was not securely in position it would wobble back and forth at the ends when the train came onto it, causing the train to jump the track and go crashing into the river.
This would be a passenger train with many people aboard. He left the bridge turned across the river, and hurried across the bridge to the other side of the river where there was a lever switch he could hold to operate the lock manually.
He would have to hold the lever back firmly as the train crossed. He could hear the rumble of the train now, and he took hold of the lever and leaned backward to apply his weight to it, locking the bridge.
He kept applying the pressure to keep the mechanism locked. Many lives depended on this man's strength.
Then, coming across the bridge from the direction of his control shack, he heard a sound that made his blood run cold.
"Daddy, where are you?" His four-year-old son was crossing the bridge to look for him.
His first impulse was to cry out to the child, "Run! Run!" But the train was too close; the tiny legs would never make it across the bridge in time.
The man almost left his lever to run and snatch up his son and carry him to safety.
But he realized that he could not get back to the lever in time
Either the people on the train or his little son must die. He took a moment to make his decision
The train sped safely and swiftly on its way, and no one aboard was even aware of the tiny broken body thrown mercilessly into the river by the onrushing train.
Nor were they aware of the pitiful figure of the sobbing man, still clinging tightly to the locking lever long after the train had passed
They did not see him walking home more slowly than he had ever walked: to tell his wife how their son had brutally died.
Now if you comprehend the emotions which went through this man's heart, you can begin to understand the feelings of our Father in Heaven when he sacrificed His Son to bridge the gap between us and eternal life.
Can there be any wonder that He caused the earth to tremble and the skies to darken when His Son died?
How does He feel when we speed along through life without giving a thought to what was done for us through Yahshua the Messiah?
When was the last time you thanked Him for the sacrifice of His Son?
Not only in word..
But in DEED. How could any man after knowing such a love believe that it is ok to disobey Yahweh's commandments again? This is why Yahshua had to die for us.
Let's take hold of that love
and LIVE it in DEED.
For in DEED Yahweh showed us His mercy by offering His Son for us
Thank You Yahweh!! May His mercy be with you all!
