time. Some will be prevented due to disobedience and unbelief. This book will address this
               peril in the hope that some will awaken from their slumber and apply all diligence to the
               pursuit of entering into the Sabbath rest of God.
                     There are other significant scriptures that speak of the awesome day in which we live.
               It  has  been  nearly  2,000  years  since  Yahshua  walked  this  Earth  and  completed  His
               ministry. It has been nearly 2,000 years since that great Pentecost when the Spirit was
               given to indwell mankind. In the ensuing years man has known what it is to be divided as
               his flesh has warred against the Spirit, and the Spirit has warred against the flesh (Galatians
               5:17).
                     This torn and fractured state of mankind has been appointed to last for a specified
               period of time appointed by the Father. The Scriptures declare that our healing is fast
               approaching when no longer will man be torn asunder, but he will be made wholly into a
               creature that fully agrees with Yahweh in spirit, soul, and body. We find this prophecy in
               Hosea.

                       Hosea 6:1-2
                       “Come, let us return to Yahweh. For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has
                       wounded us, but He will bandage us. He will revive us after two days; He will raise
                       us up on the third day that we may live before Him.”


                     For 2,000 years, two days in Yahweh’s timetable, man has been torn as he has known
               the agony of the war of flesh and Spirit raging inside his members. The victory has been
               assured.  The  life  of  Christ  overcomes  the  death  of  sin.  It  is  appointed  unto  men  to
               experience this warfare in their members, but a glorious day is quickly coming when the
               warfare will end and life will fully overcome death.
                     For 2,000 years, from that awesome Pentecost when man received the promised
               indwelling Spirit of Yahweh, man has known the agony of being a divided house. The flesh
               has tried to resist and wage war against the life of the Spirit, and the Spirit has been seeking
               to put the flesh to death. We stand at a juncture in time that is doubly important. We can
               look forward with anticipation to entering into the Sabbath rest of Yahweh and also being
               freed from the torn and embattled state that man has known for 2,000 years.
                     There has been very little rest in the first six days of mankind. Man has known misery
               and suffering. For six days the whole creation has been subjected to the futility of the curse,
               and with groaning and travail it has been longing for its deliverance when the sons of God
               are finally manifest in their restored state (Romans 8:19-23). Full deliverance will come
               when we lay aside these mortal bodies that are subject to the curse of sin, and we are
               clothed with immortality; when we will lay aside this corruption and put on incorruptible
               bodies (I Corinthians 15:53).
                                                                             th
                     We live at the transitory date when man will enter the 7  millennium, the Sabbath day
               of creation. Our healing awaits us. A true Sabbath rest awaits us. May your soul and spirit
               be stirred as you anticipate the awesome things which will soon appear.

                       Hebrews 4:1
                       Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you
                       seem to have come short of it.
