Yes. A believer can inherit Eternal Life by the free gift of the Savior, but he can  forfeit his inheritance and lose his opportunity to rule and reign in the millennium Kingdom: ( please note that we have restored the name of the Father and the Son, except in a few places where we quote from the NIV. We use the Greek word for “Christ” which is not Christos, but Christuw – the “UW” is the one of the ways that the true Greek translator wrote the name of the Saviour, without altering it in any , meaning ” YAHUW is the SAVIOUR”

This compelling study looks at this question and answers it here : “These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us” ….. ( I Cor 10: 11 as well as verse 6)

What are these “things” that were recorded as examples for us? And ‘how not to follow after these things’ ? And what are these ‘warnings’ ?

These are questions that are so important, that the whole understanding of a believers success as a ‘race runner’ to inherit the crown, hangs on the understanding of the ‘warnings’ as written in the passage of Corinthians 10. ( verse 11…warnings for us on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come) This is NOT the salvation message…See the teaching on AmaniYAH “who IS the bride really ”? As we have proved through Scripture without fail, that salvation is a free gift and no man can work  (or ‘race’ for it)

Verse 12. “So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you do not fall! ” ( brothers!)

Let us look at these warnings and whose example are we to adhered to here?

Chapter 10 starts with “ For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact , brothers ( NOT unbelievers!)  that our forefathers were ALL under the cloud ” In the restored new covenant translation of the Bible– the ‘Kings Covenant’, it says “ all under the ‘splendor of YAH’ ( the“kowbodah” of Yah.) and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and the sea …( KJV) The Kings Covenant ( KCT ) translates as follows “ they were all immersed by Moshah in the kowbodah ( the splendor of Yah) as the passed through the sea”

So here we have a people who have just come out of Egypt UNDER THE BLOOD of the Passover Lamb ( which is ChristUW, who is our passover Lamb) on the doorposts of their homes, now also baptized by water as they passed through the Red sea ( a witness and testimony of their ‘being made new’, a ‘sign’ as unto washed  by water) as they passed through the Red sea under the splendor of God.

Now these same people, as it says in verse 3 “ they ALL ate the same spiritual food ( ‘mannah’ as the Scriptures also teaches “ give us today our daily bread “ our manna from heaven”- and it all witnesses of our Savior who IS the bread of life) and drank the same spiritual drink; for they “drank from the spiritual Rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.” ( NIV)

Very plain and clear the Word says that they PARTOOK of the “blood” (on the doorposts) , they were baptized/immersed in the Red Sea, they took “communion” of the bread and drink – the manna from heaven and the drink from the Rock that was “Christ” . It is very clear from these Scriptures that these people were ALL saved, redeemed, from Egypt ( they were God’s firstborn son) and saved by the blood when all the Egyptian firstborn who did not have the blood on their doorposts were destroyed.

They, not only were, “protected by the blood”, they “partook of ChristUW”  says the Scripture and were “baptized” or immersed in Him.

So these are NOT a people that were “unbelievers”. A people who did not know YAHUWAH ( the “Lord”)

Yet….. verse 5 says “ Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, their bodies were scattered over the desert”

Now we come to verse 6 that says “ now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did”

Now before we go into detail as to what that means, let us understand one very sobering point here. These are a people that were under the blood and that partook of Yahuwah , yet DID NOT inherit the promise.

And this is the crux of this message. A ‘promise’ comes with conditions attached to it. A free gift ( salvation) does not .

It is a warning to us today, that those of us who are under the blood of  our Saviour, who are saved from the penalty of sin and death, who are believers, can forfeit our inheritance into the Millennium Kingdom reign and rule.

This is a sobering Kingdom message and NOT a salvation message, as all who are saved by the blood and born from above anew by the power of the Spirit, has eternal life,( 1 Tim 1: 16 .. … those who would believe on Him and receive eternal life”- one of many scriptural references) but do not confuse ‘eternal life’ with inheritance into ‘ruling and reigning’, as the Scripture teaches.

If we DIE with him, we shall LIVE with Him, ( salvation message)

and if we SUFFER ( or ENDURE-King Covenant translation) with Him, we shall REIGN with Him” 2 Tim 2:11 ( Kingdom message; the salvation of the soul)

This is a huge difference and for this reason has the “example” and “warning” been put for us to adhere to.

Now let us look at the astonishing account of this happening in the First Covenant ( Old Testament) and as the Set Apart (holy) Spirit opens our eyes, we will see something in these passages, that has eluded many a teacher of the body today and many teachings are “watered down”, “feel good teachings” that says  “the blood of ChristUW qualifies us for rule and reign” . Not so! We shall not trample the sinless set apart Blood of the Son of our Almighty Creator with unrighteous “unholy” fleshly living after we have been born again. No! an undisciplined believer who lives his life as saved under the blood , but ‘reveling in his flesh- undisciplined, partaking of the lusts of the world and the flesh, shall “forfeit his inheritance, just as the example has proved of the many who came out of Egypt under the blood , yet “short of the promise”. The same is said in the Word of Esau who “despised his birthright” for a pot of lentils ( for things of this world) He was the firstborn to inherit the double portion, but he threw it away- due to the lust of the flesh. Let us understand that for “those who overcome” much is the reward. One does not get “rewarded” for the blood- it is a costly gift , an unfathomable sacrifice that bought us from darkness and eternal damnation into His light. The overcomer is the one that saves “his SOUL” – by overcoming ON the Blood AND the power of the Spirit within him, the world and the flesh and the devil. In the Book of Revelations, YAHUW  (“Jesus”)  speaks much of “those who overcome”  and who is He addressing? The “CHURCH” ! NOT the world.   ( the King’s covenant translation KCT, has restored the word “church” to “ the covenant family of YAH” – why covenant family?, because they have a covenant in the Blood of the Lamb) He speaks to each of the 7 “churches” and it is sobering to read His disapproval of some of them and what He disapproves of. But to the overcomer He says “ great is your reward”

Let us get a full and comprehensive understanding of the difference between the eternal kingdom and the millennium kingdom- the 1000 year reign of ChristUW. And we will see that from the “ sermon on the mount” to “Revelation” this message is the passionate teaching of our Savior and the apostles as well as from the Old Testament ( First Covenant) where we get the pattern from.

Let us look at the account of the Yasraelites out of Egypt and turn to Numbers 13:26  NIV “ They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh in the desert of Paran. There they reported to them and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land.

27: they have Moses this account: ‘we went into the land to which you sent us and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. But the people who live there are powerful and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendents of Anak there……………

the further in verse 30 “The Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said ‘ we should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.

31” but the men who had gone up with him said ‘ we can not attack these people, they are stronger than we are’

Looking at this last few words- who are these people now relying on ? Who are Eloah’s (God’s ) firstborn now saying “they are stronger than we ?”

Are these not the same firstborn son that just saw the Red sea opened? Are these not the same people that saw the astounding account of the judgment on Egypt just a short few months ago?

The people that saw “ YAHUWAH sent thunder and hail and lightning flashed down to the ground. So YAHUWAH rained hail on the land of Egypt…….. it was the worst storm in the land of Egypt since it has become a nation……….the only place it did not hail was the land of Goshen where the Israelites were. ( Exodus 9: 22-26)

This is Father’s firstborn son that also saw “ .. total darkness covered all Egypt for 3 days. Yet all the Israelites had light in the places where they lives”. Then there was the account of the locusts, the boils, the diseases on livestock, flies and gnats, frogs and water to blood, staff to snake. The same people who stood at the edge of the Red sea with the Egyptian army behind them” and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground with a wall of water on their right and on their left !”

A pillar of fire and cloud protected them and with their own eyes they could see it!

And now they say “ we cannot attack these people, they are stronger.” Stronger than who? “ stronger than we” they replied. Thus they are now TURNING BACK to what was stated in the “spirit” – in beholding the power of the Creator, to now relying on the arm of their own flesh. Saying “ we seemed like grasshoppers in our OWN eyes and we looked the same to them” verse 33.  Gal 3: 3 says “ Are you so foolish !? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?”

Starting Chapter 14  ”they cried out aloud that whole night, they grumbled and then said in v2 “if only we had died in Egypt ! or in this desert!”

They then decided to “go back to their OLD way of life- “back to Egypt” they said.. ( going back to ‘the old life’ is a grievous sin to our heavenly  Father. It is like a dog ‘returning to its vomit’)

Joshua and Caleb spoke all they could, of how YAHUWAH ( “the Lord”) HIMSELF will fight for them, but v.10 “ the whole assembly talked about stoning them”

Now here comes a very important part. V11’ “ YAHUWAH said to Moses “ How long will these people treat Me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in Me. in spite of all the miraculous signs I have performed among them? I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them…..”

Now we will come back to Mosah ( “Moses”) standing in the gap here. But first let us look at verse 39 of chapter 14 “ when Moses reported this to all the Israelites”  meaning, the reply of Yahuwah ( the “Lord”) and  they saw the 10 spies ‘ were struck down and had died’ save Joshua and Caleb),  what did they do when they heard this? V 39 “ they MOURNED BITTERLY” and verse 40 they said “ WE HAVE SINNED”

And we know the account of them trying to go up against the enemy and then were defeated. V 44-45

Now in the previous verse 18 “ what was Mosah’s petition  before YAHUWAH ?  He pleaded for these people even with his own life. He now stood in the gap between the wrath the Almighty  and the sinful ‘firstborn son’ , saying “ YAHUWAH is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. YET He does not leave the guilty unpunished”

Mosha V19 ”in accordance with your great love, FORGIVE  the sin of these people, just as You have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now”

V 20 “ YAHUWAH replied “I HAVE FORGIVEN THEM”

V21 “NEVERTHELESS. AS SURELY AS I LIVE AND AS THE GLORY OF YAHUAH FILLS THE WHOLE EARTH, NOT ONE OF THE MEN WHO SAW MY GLORY AND THE MIRACULOUS SIGNS I PERFORMED IN EGYPT AND IN THE DESERT, BUT WHO DISOBEYED ME AND TESTED ME TEN TIMES, NOT ONE OF THEM WILL EVER SEE THE LAND I PROMISED ON OATH TO THEIR FOREFATHERS”

Let us see the corresponding verse in Exodus 32:32 “ but now please forgive their sin, but if not , then blot me out of the Book You have written.

V 34 “ now go lead the people to the place I spoke of and My angel will go before you. However when the time comes for Me to punish, I will punish them for their sin”

Psalm 89 v 31 “ if they violate My decrees and fail to keep My commands, I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging. V 33 , BUT I will NOT take My love from Him, nor will I ever betray My faithfulness” – This correspond much to 2 Tim 2:11-13 !!

It is clear from Scripture that there is a vast difference between sin’s forgiveness and sins punishment.

Let us look at  1 Cor 3: 11 “ for no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Yahuw ChristUW( “Jesus Christ”) The new King’s Covenant translation that was published last year, completely RESTORED  the name of the Creator of the Universe and of all life, The Name of the Father and  the name of the Son)

But what does the preceding verse say?……… Yet let each man be careful how he builds on it!

And in v 13 “ …………the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is. 14 “ if any man’s WORK remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward. 15 “ if any man’s WORK is burned, he will suffer this as a loss, but he himself will be saved, but only through the purifying fire ( kings covenant translation KCT) Note that the Foundation we stand on , the Blood, cannot burn , only the works)

2 Cor 5 : 10 “For we must all be revealed before the Judgment seat of the Eternal King of the family of Yah, that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good OR bad. (KCT King’s Covenant Translation) The NIV says “  For we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive, what is due him for the things done while in the body whether good or bad”

Romans 14 : 10 also speaks of believers standing before the Judgment seat. The emphasis is on “believers”

There is a judgment for unbelievers, but they do not have the FOUNDATION as spoken of in Corinthians. Thus the judgment is different, as written in Revelations. And we will expand on this teaching at a later stage.

Now what will we be judged for ? As the Blood , which is the Foundation, cannot be judged, but only that which is built on that foundation.

Thus- we are born again and are as a “baby” at first, which is on “milk”- see    1 Corinthians 3: 1” Brothers ( NOT “unbelievers”- let us note that), I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly, mere infants in Christ ( NIV) Let us read this out of the KCT and see it even more brought to clarity “ Brothers, I could not speak to you as to Ruach ( Hebrew for “the Holy, set apart, Spirit”) filled ones, but as to fleshly ones, as to beginners in YAHUW ( Jesus) “

V 3 “ you are still worldly “ ! We see here that believers covered under the blood and who are saved, can be “babies” and “worldly” ! Thus the words in Philippians 2: 12 “ work OUT your salvation with fear and trembling”  A believer cannot “work” FOR his salvation as it is a free gift , it is by grace, through faith, so no man can boast ( Ephesians 2: 8 )- Any man who do righteous works by the flesh can boast, or any “law-ful works”, that is why all have the same Foundation, by Grace, a free Gift by faith.  There is no “keeping the law to gain salvation” otherwise men can boast of his greatness by “keeping” this or the other, MORE than another brother- that is SELF –righteousness, but The Father calls us to HIS righteousness, and His righteousness is His Son, the Word, that becomes our righteousness, the Foundation of our faith on which we built. Are the WORDS  of “law” righteous and eternal? Yes it is . But what does the Word say , where does eternal life come from? Look at  1 YAHUWchannon ( sign name ‘John’)5: 11 ” the testimony is this, that YAHUWAH almighty loving YAH of all creation is giving to us eternal life and that this life is in His Son”  The NIV says ” and this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life and this life is in His Son” . Where does death come from? Death comes from sin. Where does the sin come from? From the law. Look at Rom 7 : 7 ” are we still to teach on yhem then? Are the ten covenant Words passed away then? It can never be so! For I would not have known coveting was sin, unless the least of the covenant commandments had said” you shall not covet. ” ( v8) But sin, finding clear definition through The Words, still produced in me all kinds of coveting. For before the Covenant Word of YAH, sin is not defined ( v9)  I was living seperate from the Word of Yah for a time, but when the full word of YAH came, sin became defined and I discovered that I was actually already spiritually dead! v 10 These First Covenant Words which were given to give me eternal life, these I found to be condeming me to death!

v. 24 …… who could deliver me out of the body of that death? v 25 ‘ I thank almighty loving YAH of all creation through YAHUW the saving king, my master. He delivered me! KC translation. Lets read that our of the NIV ” v 24 ………who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to our God, through Jesus Christ our Lord”  (See how beautifully the KC translation restored the true name)

This from the preceeding verses we cleary see the the SIN in the law causes eternal death- NOT the law.

And who overcame both sin and death? YAHUW ! (“Jesus”) Rom 8: 2 ” for the power of the Ruach ( spirit) if life through the eternal king of the family of YAh, for He has made me FREE from the POWER of IN and DEATH ! ( KC) It does not say he has made me free from the righteousness of the law. No He set me free from the power of sin that is IN the eternal law. ONLY the Blood of our Savior could do that. No amount of ‘good law keeping and confessing on our behalf could save us from eternal death, though the 10 commandments has the Words of eternal life in them.

Rom 6: 11consider yourself to be DEAD to sin, but alive to almighty loving YAH of all creation in YAHUW the ETERNAL loving King our Master ( KC) Lets read that out of the NIV ” In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Jesus Christ” ( again see the restoration of the name , never the core message of salvation ever)

Thus clearly it is here depicted in scripture, that we only know sin , because the law has made it visible and the only way to be redeemed from the curse of the law which is death and remains death for ALL who does not fall under the Blood of YAHUW.  v 23 says  NIV” for the wages of sin is death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life in YAHUW” ( “Jesus”)

Yahuwchannon ( John) 3: 18 ” he who believes in Him is not condemned…” It doe not say ” he who does the 10 commandments and the whole law is not condemned” Chapter 8 : 25 YAHUW said to her” I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE….” Thus eternal life is IN THE SON and NOT in a command, though we will not inherit any position in the millennium kingdom if we do not keep the righteousness of the law. And we will show that further through this teaching.

And when we sin , what do we do? We can repent! Yes- praise YAHUWAH that when we repent , we fall on the Blood. But brothers and sisters in ChristUW, heed the scripture in 1 Corinthians 3 of works of ‘hay, straw and stubble’. Note, that when you keep on erring and keep on repenting, each time  that you do, you go back to hay , straw and stubble and that is as unacceptable for a reward, as is NO works. Let us thus spur each other on as long as it is today, to do HIS works of righteousness for such will build on your foundation gold, silver and precious stones. For those who OVERCOME by the power of the Spirit over sin, they build with gold, silver and precious stones.

Now : what are these “warnings” that are spoken of to believers in the Letter to the Corinthians?

It is the “example” of what the Israelites did, who were covered under the Blood, yet forfeited the promised land, “their inheritance”

Their disobedience were punished. Their unbelief. Unbelief you say? Well, I “believe”!

……..So did the Israelites . They believed in Him!. They even SAW Him, . Yahuwah ( The Lord) even says Himself “ none of these generation that SAW my miraculous works”. And did they know His name? Yes , they believed He was the Almighty Creator and Saviour to them- they called on His Name ! Then hence the “unbelief”?

Let us first look at Psm 99 : 8 “ O Yahuwah our God, you answered them, You were to Israel a FORGIVING God, THOUGH You punished their misdeeds”

Yasarel His firstborn, is the apple of His eye, the root which He has planted Psm 80:14 “watch over this vine, the root Your Right Hand has planted, the son you have raised up for yourself”

Psm 106 : 12 “ Then they believed His Promises and sang His praise

v.13 but they soon forgot what He had done, and DID NOT WAIT FOR HIS COUNCIL

v14  In the desert they GAVE IN to their cravings, in the wasteland they put God to the test… (v.16) “they grew envious ”

v23 “ So He said He would destroy them, had not Moses His chosen one, stood in the breach before Him, to keep His wrath from destroying them

24 Then they despised the pleasant land ( as did Esau , and even thought Esau wept , he could not bring about a change of mind), they did not believe His promise ( saying it twice in this Psm now)

they grumbled in their tents and did not OBEY Yahuwah ( the Lord) ( NIV)

And as we read further it accounts also for the other things they did.

So, are we any “more righteous” in the “modern age” ? No, as the Scripture says “ ALL have sinned and fallen short”. As Moses stood in the gap before Him, so does our Saviour stand in the gap for us- to protect us of the PENALTY of sin, but NOT of the righteous, ‘set-apart holy’ commands of the law. Otherwise , why is there ANY judgment? The Blood cannot be judged, then what is to be judged? Our works “ what we have done in the body whether good or bad” Corinthians-see above. And where do we get the ‘guidelines’ ? His Word, His Commandments, His laws, His Torah ( instructions)

And neither WORKS OF THE FLESH- that is again “self righteousness”. But works of obedience and works of self-lessness, so that the Spirit within us can bare THROUGH us works of HIS righteousness.- That is our reward. And those not having such works, will suffer “loss”- as per 1 Cor 3 : 15

Psm 107 is again a powerful account of  the “life” of a BELIEVER.  It talks about 4 kinds here . Those “wandering in the desert”, “those who sat in darkness”, those who “became fools through their rebellious ways” and those “ who went out on the sea’ All of them cried out to God and repented and he restored them.

Those of the “gentiles/ unbelievers/other-nations” are rebellious and have NEVER called upon Him or stood on His Foundation.( and they have a different judgement) But when we read in Scripture of those who stand on His Foundation and THEN rebel, those of such rebellion will be punished, and if they repent, WILL be restored. But what did such a person do during his rebellion/ disobedience/wickedness? He added MUCH hay straw and rubble to his foundation . And the purifying fire will test each mans work says the Scripture in 1 Cor 3. And only that man will be saved , as the foundation cannot burn, but his works can.

Let us build with gold, silver and precious stones! Laying down our lives so that the Set Apart  ( holy) Spirit can work righteous works through us to the glory and splendour of our  Eloah ( God)

Psm 78:17 “ but they continued to sin against Him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High. They willfully put God to the test, by demanding the food they craved, they spoke against God saying ‘can God spread a table in the desert”?

“When He struck the Rock water gushed out and streams flowed abundantly. But can He also give us food?”

V 22” For they did not believe in God or trust in His deliverance” YET He gave a command to the sky above and opened the doors of the heavens.”

It is enlightening to read all of this Psm.

These people “did not believe in God” as to who He is, because they know they were purchased by the Blood of the Passover Lamb out of Egypt, but their unbelief and rebellion was against His WORD and His promises.

Psm 78: 6 … teach your children… “ so that the next generation would know them ( His wonders/laws/commands/deeds- see the verses above 1-5)

V7 “ THEN they would put their TRUST in God ( not in the flesh) and would not forget His deeds. They would not be like their forefathers , a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose hearts were not loyal to God,  whose spirits were not faithful to Him.      V 10 “ They did not keep God’s covenant and refused to live by His law”

Read all of Psm 78

It says in the above verse “ whose hearts were not loyal to Him” In matt 6: 24 it says “ ……you cannot serve both God and mammon” ( NIV) The Kings Covenant translation reads “ you cannot serve both Yahuwah, Almighty loving Yah of all creation and your SELFISH interests”

Numbers 14 : 28 “so tell them, as surely as I live, declares Yahuwah, I will do to you the very things I HEARD YOU SAY. In this desert your bodies will fall.. v30 “ not one of you will enter the land…” v 31  ( but for Caleb and Joshua) “ I will bring then into the and that you have rejected. V 33 speaks of “ suffering for your unfaithfulness” v 35 calls them a “ wicked community”

“Follow through on everything that you have been shown, says YAHUWAH    ( ” The Lord ”). Each step will lead to the next step so complete the first steps first. There is much excitement ahead and great blessings, but they can only be found through focus and harvested with gratitude. A man who writes down his goals and then does not fervently measure his progress will never know how close he is. The Yasarelites ( Israelites) could have known where they were if they had focused on their ultimate goal instead of complaining the circumstances of the day. Keep moving forward at all times and convey to others that this will be what you will continue to do, with them or without them.”

The Word above was given to ‘ the AmaniYah Project’ by The Spirit to emphasis again on not following the examples of our forefathers.

The Prophet YashaYahuw ( restored name of Isaiah)  63: 8 “ surely they are My people, sons who will not be false to Me and so He became their Saviour.

9. In all their distress, He too was distressed and the angel of His Presence saved them. In His love and mercy He redeemed them, the lifted them up and carried them out all the days of old.

10 YET they rebelled against Him and grieved His Holy Spirit, so He turned and become their enemy

v. 11 then His people recalled the days of old………

v12 who sent His glorious arm of Power to be at Moses’s right hand

v16 “ ……you oh Yahuwah are our Father, our Redeemeder  from of old, is Your name”

So again we see time and time again that they believed in WHO He is, , they were His son as the verse above again states, they were ‘of HIS household” . Yet they were in unbelief toward His WORD and rebelled against His WORD”

YashaYahuw ( restored name of Isaiah) says in 42:19 “ who is blind , but My SERVANT” . Unbelievers are lost and blind, it is not needed to say to them “blind you are” but a SERVANT who is blind ( to the righteous Covenant Words of the Creator and rebellious to His Heavenly Father) is what the parables speak of so clearly . In these parables are SERVANTS who ChristUW calls “ wicked”, “unprofitable”, “lazy”. There are servants He calls “GOOD” and “ FAITHFUL”. There are virgins He calls “foolish” ! and there are virgins ( notice they are all 10 CLEAN, thus virgins) He calls 5 of them“ WISE” ! There are SHEEP that He says are LOST.

“ these are rebellious people, deceitful CHILDREN, children unwilling to listen to Yahuwah’s instruction.   saying in V. 10 … .. “give us no more visions of what is right, tell us pleasant things” ! YashaYahuw ( Isaiah) 30: 9

See also Deut 1: 25-36 . Quoting here only v 30 “Yahuwah your God who is going before you, will fight for you, as He did for you in Egypt before your very EYES , AND in the desert. There you saw how Yahuah your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went up until you reached this place. V32” In SPITE OF ALL THIS, you did not TRUST in Yahuwah your God”

It says in 1 Cor 10 v 6, as we mentioned earlier as well “ now these things occurred as examples”…

We see above the many things that they did to displease the Father, and in Cor. it adds more for us to heed to , so that we will not fall short; things not to do, so as not to disinherit our reward in the Kingdom reign of ChristUW   ( meaning that the Blood , our Foundation, gives us eternal life, but ruling and reigning depends on our submissive will to the Spirit to work THROUGH us works of righteousness that will result in gold, silver and precious stones)

It adds the following “ to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things” and “do not be idolaters as some of them were”

Now let us interject here for a brief moment “ idolatry” you say? Well ,we in the “modern age” , as believers in ChristUW , we do not have idols, or better phrased “ we in the ‘church’ do not have idols such as a “golden calf” or a statue with many arms” etc.- so at least that one we can say proudly “ we do not do”

Really? Let us see what it says in 1 Sam 15: 22 ( after King Saul was disobedient to the command Yahuwah gave him to kill Agag the king of the Amalekites)  “Does Yahuwah delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of Yahuwah?

To OBEY is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams, v23 : for REBELLION is LIKE the sin of witchcraft and ARROGANCE ( stubbornness) LIKE the evil of IDOLATRY. Because you have rejected the WORD of Yahuwah, He has rejected you as king”

Also Colossians 3: 5 “ Put to death ( an action WE are to do by asking the Spirit to enable us with His power to do so!) therefore whatever belongs to your earthly nature, sexual immorality, uncleanliness, depraved passions, evil desire and covetousness, ALL OF WHICH are IDOLATRY.”

Other warnings in Cor are “ sexual immorality, testing Him and grumbling. Even grumbling!

Look what is says in Acts 7:39 ” But our fathers refused to obey Him. Instead they rejected Him and in their hearts returned back to Egypt“

And again, in Heb 3: 9  he gives further warnings of the “things they did”…. v.9“ do not HARDEN your heart, as in ‘the rebellion’ as in the yaom ( time/years) of the testing in the wilderness, where your fathers tested me by their FORGETTING again of Me and I had to teach them My works for 40 years” KCT

ChristUW says to the His OWN in Revelations 2: 3 “ You have persevered and have endured hardships for My name and have not grown weary” Yet I hold this against you. You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent!”

There is a “committed love” that we have  ( perseverance/endurance), but ‘first love’ is recognized by ‘joy and worship’. Worship is not praise. It is seeking Him soley for who He is – speaking words of adoration, speaking His Word to Him- Words of His nature and character’ Oh Yahuawah, you who are the Creator of the heaven, the highest heaven and their starry hosts, You alone are Yahuwah, I exalt your set-apart name,  Worship is speaking our love to Him.“ We speak praises to His name and we ‘sit’ in His Presence until the fullness of His Presence manifests’ . THAT is what brings joy. Worship brings joy, and this joy ushers in and maintains ‘first love’ . It is an act of the will and once you enter in and subdue the flesh, the Spirit within you takes over and you get filled up with this love that brings joy , that exuberates “first love”

And it is good for us to again study what He says to the other of the 7 Covenant families ( ‘churches’)

But the Word says that ANYTHING that is NOT of FAITH, is sin.

So let us build on our Foundation with His righteousness and bring forth His fruit ,( the works of His Spirit within us) much gold, sliver and precious stones. As it says further in this chapter of Cor 10 : 12 “ so if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you do not fall”

So let us keep our hearts pure and pray and seek the presence of the Spirit every moment of each day to keep us standing firm and to hear His voice and follow His guidance that we will be FULL of His WORD so that we will be careful to do all He desires and study carefully the Scriptures to find His will and desire.

YermiYahuw ( restored name of Jeremiah) 17 : 10 “ I, Yahuwah search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve”

To conclude with this study, we have been shown through Scripture not to follow the example of those in the wilderness who did not inherit the land and how it applies to the Kingdom reign.

Now those of the majority that did not inherit the land, what happened to them? Those who came out of Egypt under the blood of the Passover lamb? Did their Heavenly Father just abandoned them? No! He forgave them, for it also says in the Word “

AND for those 40 years they had food from heaven!. They had water in the desert! They still had the pillar of could and fire!

Deuteronomy 8:4 .” Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years. !!

Neh. 9: 19 ” Because of Your great compassion ,You did not abandoned them in the desert. By day the pillar of cloud did not cease to guide them on their path, nor did the pillar of fire by night to shine on the way they were to take. 20. You gave Your good Spirit to instruct them. You did not withhold your manna from their mouths and you gave them water for their thirst. 21 For 40 years you sustained them in the desert, they lacked nothing, their clothes did not wear out nor did their feet become swollen”

Deuteronomy 29:5

5 During the forty years that I led you through the wilderness, your clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on your feet. !!

But with the majority of them” He was NOT pleased”…

“ for without faith it is impossible to PLEASE Him” says the Word.

And what is the guideline for running this race and for not forfeighting the inheritance?

HIS WORD

Psm 19 : 7

“ The Torah ( instructions) of Yahuwah is perfect,

REVIVING the soul”

The witness and testimony ( statutes) of Yahuwah are trustworthy

Making WISE the simple

The Orders (Precepts) of Yahuwah are RIGHT

Giving JOY to the heart

The Commands of Yahuwah are radiant

Giving LIGHT to the EYES

The fear of Yahuwah is pure

Enduring forever

The Right-rulings ( ordinances) of Yahuah are sure ( true)

and altogether righteous

They are more precious than gold, much gold

They are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb

BY them YOUR SERVANT is WARNED

In KEEPING THEM there is MUCH REWARD”

Let us again remind ourselves again that ChristUW stood in the gap for us , as to the PENALTY of the Law. That is what it means when the Word says ” you are not under the law” but of faith. For if the law could give a man life, then ChristUW did not have to die! Then all man had to do was keep the commandments and he is saved!  But ChristUW took the curse of the law in our stead. He IS the law, because He IS the WORD. In breaking the ‘law’, the Covenant Words, ALL of the  set-apart ( holy) righteous requirements of the law, is sin and the penalty thereof is death and seperation eternal from the Creator, our Father in heaven. But  it says clearly in Psm 19 “BY them YOUR SERVANT is WARNED, In KEEPING THEM there is MUCH REWARD” We are speaking of REWARDS  (NOT salvation) and that is something we have to WORK on by submission to His law and commands and to subdue the flesh so that HIS SPIRIT can bear the fruit ( works) through us. He has taken the penalty of the law upon himself- the curse  of it He took, but the RIGHTEOUSNESS and “holiness” of the law NEVER did He “do away with” , never did he nail THAT to the cross. Only that which was AGAINST us, was nailed to the cross. Thus, it does not give us license to say ” well, I am NOT under the law, so I need not keep it” Absolutely not. He says clearly in 1 John 5 : 5 ” for THIS IS LOVE for Almighty loving Yah of all creation, when we LOVE and KEEP His  Covenant Words (commandments) .King’s Covenant Translation ( KCT). So we keep His law now, because we are under LOVE , so as to PLEASE Him. And why is it possible for us to keep His law? Because it says in Romans that we are NO LONGER a SLAVE to sin. That does not mean we can no longer sin, but that we have a CHOICE . Only a slave has no choice. So when we, because of the Blood of ChristUW , are no longer slaves to sin, we can OVERCOME it by the blood and the power of the Spirit within us.

Thus, keeping His commands, law, statutes, orders, precepts, ALL of His requirements as set out in His Word, and then falling short of doing so, we will forfeit our reward. ALL His instructions are important. NOT for eternal Life, as eternal life is ONLY in the Blood not in the law, but ALL man’s rewards lies in keeping His commands, doing His Word, laying down one’s life to the will of the Spirit. Thus what happened to the “wicked servant”, the slothful, the unfaithful SERVANT, the unwise, the foolish, the lazy, the unprofitable?  These are NOT unbelievers, as the Word does NOT speak of unbelievers as “servants”, as stated in the parables that Yahuw (‘ Jesus’) told?

In the parables, our Saviour tells of this .They did not inherit the position of rulership and to reign with Him, nevertheless they were in the Kingdom, OUTSIDE of the light . As He says “ throw the wicked servant outside”

Likewise, the 5 foolish virgins were OUTSIDE of the door of the banquet. All they did was being foolish!  An in-depth study of what that means, are under ” who is the Bride of ChristUW really” in the teaching section of this website.

There are unrepented sin ( wicked servants) and there are ‘laziness and foolishness”. Some servants, some virgins, are in outer darkness, some are just outside of the banquet door. We have only the examples as are written in the Word. I am sure there are countless, countless! things that righteous servants have done and are doing, that will be rewarded, things we never remembered we even did, but when a servant walks in humility and love and opposite of the world’s agenda, such a servant is “minding the business of His Commander and not getting involved with civilian affairs” as Shauwl (Paul )writes. The reason for the Word giving these warnings , are so that we can be mindful of the THINGS OF THE SPIRIT at ALL times. That we will not lose hope or give up.

The Blood gives us the right to stand IN the Kingdom by His mercy and His grace, but our FAITHFULNESS to the very end of the race, to perfect our souls, as He is able to do that in us as we submit to Him, we will hear the words “ well done, my good and faithful servant” , come into your Masters place and receive from Him a DOUBLE portion.

You see, the Firstborn is the one , as the pattern of the First Covenant establishes, who inherits the double portion, but we see that MANY a firstborn we rejected from that position- just as Esau and Ruben are examples of .

So again. Let us be alert and awake, taking up HIS armour as in Eph 6 and fight the good fight of FAITH, so that our love does not grow cold in the fight against unbelief, fear, doubt which wars against our soul. For GREATER is He that is in us and we can overcome the one in the world,  the evil one , the worlds desires and the flesh, by His power. As He says , it is ” not by power , not by might, but BY MY SPIRIT” says YAHUWAH of Hosts of the armies of Heaven.

Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest, if we do not give up. NIV Gal 6: 9 -emphasis on REAP- / reward in the Kingdom; for only those who are ALLREADY on the Foundation of the Blood , has ANY hope of reaping.

Let us also read that out of the new King’s Covenant “ Let us not be weary in doing The Word, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up”

Let us pray : “My Father Yahuwah, thank you for purchasing my redemption with the Blood of your Son and may I rather suffer in the flesh here in the ‘land of the living’ for your righteousness oh Father, than in the darkness outside of Your Light in Your Kingdom, so I may behold Your glory at your throne forever and ever. May Your perfect set apart Spirit wrought righteousness in us, living Word abiding lives as you work powerfully through our subdued will and flesh to not seek after the things of this world anymore, but only seek Your will , your desire, Your Word which is ChristUW”

AmaniYAH ! which means ” we believe and serve Yah”
