#67 Choose This Day Whom You Shall Serve

Zion’s Coming Salvation

Isa 62:1  For Zion’s sake I will not be silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until its righteousness goes out as brightness, and her salvation as a burning lamp.

Isa 62:2  And the nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; and you will be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah will name.

Isa 62:3  You also will be a crown of glory in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

Isa 62:4  You will no more be called Forsaken; nor will your land any more be called Desolate; but you will be called My Delight is in her, and your land, Married; for Jehovah delights in you, and your land is married.

Isa 62:5  For as a young man marries a virgin, so will your sons marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so will your God rejoice over you.

Isa 62:6  I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem, who will not always be silent all the day nor all the night; you who remember Jehovah, do not be silent.

Isa 62:7  And give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

Isa 62:8  Jehovah has sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength, Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and the sons of strangers will not drink your wine for which you have labored.

Isa 62:9  But its gatherers will eat it and praise Jehovah; and they who collected it will drink it in My holy courts.

Isa 62:10  Pass! Pass through the gates; prepare the way of the people. Raise up! Raise up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a banner for the peoples.

Isa 62:11  Behold, Jehovah has sent a message to the end of the earth, Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes. Behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.

Isa 62:12  And they will call them, The Holy People, The Redeemed of Jehovah; and you will be called, Sought Out, a city not forsaken.

What is the Difference Between The Wheat and the tares?

Mat 13:24 He put out another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

Mat 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel among the wheat and went his way.

Mat 13:26 But when the blade had sprung up and had produced fruit, then the darnel also appeared.

Mat 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then where have the darnel come from?

Mat 13:28 He said to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Then do you want us to go and gather them up?

Mat 13:29 But he said, No, lest while you gather up the darnel you also root up the wheat with them.

Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest. And in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, First gather together the darnel and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my granary.

Mat 13:36 Then sending the crowds away, Jesus went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the darnel of the field.

Mat 13:37 He answered and said to them, He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man;

Mat 13:38 the field is the world; the good seed are the sons of the kingdom; but the darnel are the sons of the evil one.

Mat 13:39 The enemy who sowed them is the Devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

Mat 13:40 Therefore as the darnel are gathered and burned in the fire, so it shall be in the end of this world.

Mat 13:41 The Son of Man shall send out His angels, and they shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who do iniquity,

Mat 13:42 and shall cast them into a furnace of fire. There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Mat 13:43 Then the righteous shall shine out like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Jhn 15:1 I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.

Jhn 15:2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away. And every one that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bring forth more fruit.

Jhn 15:3 Now you are clean through the Word which I have spoken to you.

Jhn 15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.

Jhn 15:5 I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Jhn 15:6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered. And they gather and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

Jhn 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you.

Jhn 15:8 In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, so you shall be My disciples.

Jhn 15:9 As the Father has loved Me, so I have loved you; continue in My love.

Jhn 15:10 If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love, even as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

Jhn 15:11 I have spoken these things to you so that My joy might remain in you and your joy might be full.

Jhn 15:12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

Jhn 15:13 No one has greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Jhn 15:14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Mat 7:16 You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.

Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruits, nor can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Mat 7:19 Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Mat 7:20 Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.

I Never Knew You

Mat 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord! Lord! shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.

Mat 7:22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your name, and through Your name throw out demons, and through Your name do many wonderful works?

Mat 7:23 And then I will say to them I never knew you! Depart from Me, those working lawlessness!

Mat 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance;

Act 26:20 But to those first in Damascus, and Jerusalem, and to all the country of Judea, and to the nations, I made known the command to repent and to turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance

Gal 5:16 I say, then, Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. And these are contrary to one another; lest whatever you may will, these things you do.

Gal 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.

Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are clearly revealed, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lustfulness,

Gal 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, fightings, jealousies, angers, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

Gal 5:21 envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

Gal 5:23 meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Gal 5:24 But those belonging to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in theSpirit.

Gal 5:26 Let us not become glory-seeking, provoking one another, envying one another.

Jas 2:14 My brothers, what profit is it if a man says he has faith and does not have works? Can faith save him?

Jas 2:15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,

Jas 2:16 and if one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled, but you do not give them those things which are needful to the body, what good is it?

Jas 2:17 Even so, if it does not have works, faith is dead, being by itself.

Jas 2:18 But someone will say, You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith from my works.

Jas 2:19 You believe that there is one God, you do well; even the demons believe and tremble.

Jas 2:20 But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Jas 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

Jas 2:22 Do you see how faith worked with his works, and from the works faith was made complete?

Jas 2:23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness, and he was called the friend of God.”

Jas 2:24 You see then how a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

Jas 2:25 And in the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she had received the messengers and had sent them out another way?

Jas 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Mat 24:24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders; so much so that, if it were possible, they would deceive even the elect.

1Jn 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but try the spirits to see if they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

It is the elect who know Torah that will follow false prophets and go after them, seeking these myths and deceptive teachings.

Paul warns about the end times when the “man of sin” is revealed, which is our time right now. Those who reject the truth (the gospel and Yehovah’s commandments) and do not develop a love for the truth of the Torah, never embrace it with their whole heart. Because of this, Yehovah allows a “strong delusion” to come upon them, leading them to believe lies, and because they do this, they face condemnation. The phrase emphasizes that salvation requires not just hearing the truth, but loving and living it. A related verse reinforcing this is Hosea 4:6.
