His Return

I have been longing to post this, but I don't know the author . . . so with that being said, I am not claiming copyright, nor am I claiming an exclusive, I just think this information is pertinent to end time events!  the Editor of the Goshen Gazette ~


In Matt. 24, Jesus is told us what signs would lead up to His return. One of those signs is this:
"At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and HATE one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead MANY. Because LAW-lessness is increased, most people's LOVE will grow cold." Matt. 24:10-12
What is the LOVE that will grow cold?
"For THIS is the love of God, that we KEEP His commandmentS.; and His commandments are NOT burdensome." 1 John 5:3
"Now I ask you lady, NOT as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the BEGINNING, that we LOVE one another. And THIS is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the BEGINNING, that you should walk in it." 2 John 1:5-6
" 'Teacher, which is THE great commandment in the Law/Torah?' And He said, ' "You shall LOVE the LORD your GOD with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind (Deut. 6:5)." This is the great and FOREMOST commandment. The second is LIKE it, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself (Lev. 19:18)." On these TWO commandments (quoted from Torah) depend the WHOLE Law/Torah AND the Prophets.' " Matt. 22:36-40
The 10 Commandments tell us what God expects of us, and are summed up as loving God and loving our neighbor. Torah INSTRUCTS us in DETAIL on HOW to love God and love our neighbor. Jesus (the Word/Torah made flesh), Himself, taught and demonstrated a DEEPER revelation on what it means to love our neighbor (Matt. 5:20-48).
"Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you. We KNOW that we have passed out of death into life, BECAUSE we LOVE the brethren. He who does not love ABIDES in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer (Matt. 5:21-22); and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the BRETHREN. But whoever has the world's goods and sees his BROTHER in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him? Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed AND truth." 1John 3:13-18
"Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your Law/Torah is TRUTH." Ps. 119:142
"Those who follow after wickedness draw near; THEY are FAR from Your Law/Torah. You are NEAR, O LORD, and ALL Your COMMANDMENTS are TRUTH." Ps. 119:150-151
***
Warning: "Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; and the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does NOT bring THIS teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting. for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil DEEDS." 2 John 1:9-11
