How to prepare for the Lords coming

Many people are awaiting the Lord's return. By this we mean Jesus Christ, or in his ancient name, Yahusha Hamashiach. The coming return of our messiah is met with mixed appreciation. Some are concerned, terrified at the promise of his return because it also means the opening of the seals, bowls, and trumpet judgments. Yahusha is a bright light for all creation, AND also represents judgment and tribulation for those against him.

How do we reconcile this? The short answer is to be ready for his return by ensuring that your spirit aligns with his expectations. What does it take to fulfill this requirement?

John 14:15-31

If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

What are Yahusha's commandments?

Yahusha is "The Angel of The Lord" mentioned in the bible. Before being born in human flesh, Yahusha existed. Yahusha existed from the foundation of the earth and is the firstborn of creation -- The Word of Yahuah (the ancient name of God). Yahusha participated with The Father in creation and has been with us since the beginning. Yahusha is the light, was also human flesh, and will return again in human flesh to redeem his people.

Look through your Bible (or do a quick Google search) to find the mention of "The Angel of The Lord," which represents the spiritual, angelic form of Yahusha. When perceived prior to his role as a human, Yahusha presented himself in the form of an Angel. Yahusha can take many forms, and in these roles, he appeared as a messenger, which is human-like in appearance but not human.

The Angel spoken of throughout the bible was there with Moses in the wilderness and playing the role of The Word of Yahuah (or The Voice of God), he presented the law to Moshe (Moses) directly.

John 1:1-14

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 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: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word 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.

One of the challenges many face in belief is that the church teaches two opposing views.

1) Yahusha is the father in the flesh, and there is no separation, no separate spirit, no two entities. They are one entity.

2) Yahusha abolished the law.

Without challenging the belief that Yahusha is the Father in the Flesh and is not a separate entity or spirit, we can challenge the idea that he abolished the law. If Yahusha is the father, and the father said he does not change, then why would he change his mind about his own commandments? The same God that provided the law to Moses is the same God that died on the cross, right?

Malachi 3:6

For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

The truth is, if you read the words of Yahusha (Jesus) you'll see that he consistently referenced a separation between The Father and himself. He never professed to be The Father, and consistently expressed this separation by praying to The Father in heaven, stating that he sits on the right hand of The Father, and explaining that he came in The Father's name, not his own.

Spiritually, they are one, and the spirit of The Father was in Yahusha when walking this earth. Yahusha is the spoken word of The Father also, and is in direct connection and directly serves as an extension of The Father.

So what does it take to prepare for The Lord's coming?

We've been taught that simply believing in Yahusha and going about our everyday lives is enough to be ready for his return. In truth, any relationship, including one with Yahusha, takes giving. You must take the first step to show him you care and want a relationship by demonstrating that you heard him.

Obedience to the commandments is the first step forward toward a relationship with The Father and with Yahusha. Obedience will open the gateway of communication and show that you are ready to be in lockstep with Yahusha as he takes his crown as king to renew this world to its purpose.

Yah, The Most High is holding back the four winds, waiting for the remnant of his people to be obedient and show themselves ready for the next steps. He wants as many of us as possible to make it through to join him in the wilderness under his protection before the tribulation begins. He does not want his people to stay behind and be judged along with their enemy. Showing obedience by starting with the law is the best way forward to show yourself approved.
