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.
