Marijuana? America, Why Are You So Quick To Do Evil?
You would think that with all the costs of trying to get people to stop smoking cigarettes due to the health risks and the ruin of lives from people allowing their families to starve so they can buy high-priced cigarettes, that you wouldn’t allow a worse smoking product to be legalized. Those who would like to quit the habit can’t because their character is so weakened from the many evils they have practiced, and no character education is provided for them by the religions or states that would offer them help in strengthening their character.
Yet, because of a few blinded by dollar bill signs and thoughts coming from the same confused mind that more money will solve their many financial problems, the young, and even the old, are being led into another brain weakening, mind-altering habit that they won’t be able to shake, even after they realize it’s wrecking parts of their organs.
For years, we have told our young people that marijuana contains many drug compounds, some of which block certain brain functions, preventing learning and formation of memory, and makes one mentally lazy. We were told that marijuana contains THC (tetrahydracannabinol), as well as other drug compounds, each being harmful to the body. Has there been any new research proving otherwise? NO! Has the marijuana plant been genetically changed to make it healthy? NO!
Marijuana: Effects of Weed on Brain and Body
By Kim Zimmermann, Live Science Contributor
Smoking marijuana produces euphoria and a range of psychological and physical effects that can be unpredictable at times.
How marijuana affects the mind
Marijuana reaches the same pleasure centers in the brain that are targeted by heroin, cocaine, and alcohol.
When coming down form the high, users may feel depressed or extremely tired. …it can heighten anxiety, fear, distrust, and paranoia…
Marijuana and teens
When marijuana use begins in the teen years, it can have a significant impact on brain development, including decreased brain activity, fewer neural fibers in certain areas and a smaller than average hippocampus, which controls learning and memory functions.
Long-term users report that they sometimes have trouble thinking clearly, organizing their thoughts, multitasking and remembering things. Sustained marijuana use can also slow reaction times in some individuals.
How marijuana affects the body
Marijuana smoke can cause many of the same respiratory problems experienced by tobacco smokers, such as increased daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illnesses such as bronchitis, and a greater instance of lung infections, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
Several studies indicate that heavy marijuana use can lower the ability to fight infection and have an adverse impact on the immune system.

DrugFacts: Marijuana
Revised January 2014
Marijuana refers to the dried leaves, flowers, stems, and seeds from the hemp plant Cannabis sativa, which contains the psychoactive (mind-altering) chemical delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), as well as other related compounds. This plant material can also be concentrated in a resin called hashish or a sticky black liquid called hash oil.
Marijuana is the most common illicit drug used in the United States. After a period of decline in the last decade, its use has been increasing among young people since 2007, corresponding to a diminishing perception of the drug’s risks that may be associated with increased public debate over the drug’s legal status. Although the federal government considers marijuana a Schedule I substance (having no medicinal uses and high risk for abuse), two states have legalized marijuana for adult recreational use, and 21 states have passed laws allowing its use as a treatment for certain medical conditions.
Notice how THC enters the brain.
THC’s chemical structure is similar to the brain chemical anandamide.
Similarity in structure allows drugs to be recognized by the body and to alter normal brain communication.
How Does Marijuana Affect the Brain?
When marijuana is smoked, THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to the brain and other organs throughout the body.
However it is ingested, THC acts on specific molecular targets on brain cells, called cannabinoid receptors. These receptors are ordinarily activated by chemicals similar to THC that naturally occur in the body (such as anandamide; see picture, above) and are part of a neural communication network called the endocannabinoid system. This system plays an important role in normal brain development and function.
The highest density of cannabinoid receptors is found in parts of the brain that influence pleasure, memory, thinking, concentration, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement. Marijuana overactivates the endocannabinoid system, causing the “high” and other effects that users experience. These effects include altered perceptions and mood, impaired coordination, difficulty with thinking and problem solving, and disrupted learning and memory.
Marijuana also affects brain development, and when it is used heavily by young people, its effects on thinking and memory may last a long time or even be permanent. A recent study of marijuana users who began using in adolescence revealed substantially reduced connectivity among brain areas responsible for learning and memory. And a large long-term study in New Zealand showed that people who began smoking marijuana heavily in their teens lost an average of 8 points in IQ between age 13 and age 38. Importantly, the lost cognitive abilities were not fully restored in those who quit smoking marijuana as adults. Those who started smoking marijuana in adulthood did not show significant IQ declines.
What Are the Other Health Effects of Marijuana?
Marijuana use may have a wide range of effects, particularly on cardiopulmonary and mental health.
Marijuana smoke is an irritant to the lungs, and frequent marijuana smokers can have many of the same respiratory problems experienced by tobacco smokers, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illness, and a heightened risk of lung infections.
Marijuana also raises heart rate by 20-100 percent shortly after smoking; this effect can last up to 3 hours. In one study, it was estimated that marijuana users have a 4.8-fold increase in the risk of heart attack in the first hour after smoking the drug.
A number of studies have linked chronic marijuana use and mental illness. High doses of marijuana can produce a temporary psychotic reaction (involving hallucinations and paranoia) in some users, and using marijuana can worsen the course of illness in patients with schizophrenia. A series of large studies following users across time also showed a link between marijuana use and later development of psychosis.
Associations have also been found between marijuana use and other mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts among adolescents, and personality disturbances, including a lack of motivation…
Marijuana use during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of neurobehavioral problems in babies. Because THC and other compounds in marijuana mimic the body’s own endocannabinoid chemicals, marijuana use by pregnant mothers may alter the developing endocannabinoid system in the brain of the fetus. Consequences for the child may include problems with attention, memory, and problem solving.
Additionally, because it seriously impairs judgment and motor coordination, marijuana contributes to risk of injury or death while driving a car. A recent analysis of data from several studies found that marijuana use more than doubles a driver’s risk of being in an accident. The combination of marijuana and alcohol is worse than either substance alone with respect to driving impairment.
Rising Potency
The amount of THC in marijuana samples confiscated by police has been increasing steadily over the past few decades. In 2012, THC concentrations in marijuana averaged close to 15 percent, compared to around 4 percent in the 1980s.
Is Marijuana Addictive?
Contrary to common belief, marijuana is addictive.
Long-term marijuana users trying to quit report withdrawal symptoms including irritability, sleeplessness, decreased appetite, anxiety, and drug craving, all of which can make it difficult to abstain.
How Does Marijuana Affect a User’s Life?
Research shows marijuana may cause problems in daily life or make a person’s existing problems worse. Heavy marijuana users generally report lower life satisfaction, poorer mental and physical health, more relationship problems, and less academic and career success compared to non-marijuana-using peers. For example, marijuana use is associated with a higher likelihood of dropping out of school. Several studies also associate workers’ marijuana smoking with increased absences, tardiness, accidents, workers’ compensation claims, and job turnover.

The Surgeon General’s Warning on Marijuana
Marijuana use is a major public health problem in the United States. In the past 20 years, its’ use has increased 30-fold…
On March 24, 1982, the Department of Health and Human Services submitted to Congress a report reviewing the consequences of marijuana use. Marijuana and Health, 1982, ninth in a series, is primarily based on two recently conducted, comprehensive, scientific reviews by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, the Canadian Addiction Research Foundation, and the World Health Organization (WHO). Both independent reviews corroborate the Public Health Service’s findings of health hazards associated with marijuana use: Acute intoxication with marijuana interferes with many aspects of mental functioning and has serious, acute effects on perception and skilled performance, such as driving and other complex tasks involving judgment or fine motor skills.
Among the known or suspected chronic effects of marijuana are:
- short-term memory impairment and slowness of learning.
- impaired lung function similar to that found in cigarette smokers. Indications are that more serious effects, such as cancer and other lung disease, follow extended use.
- decreased sperm count and sperm motility.
- interference with ovulation and pre-natal development.
- impaired immune response.
- possible adverse effects on heart function.
- by-products of marijuana remaining in body fat for several weeks, with unknown consequences. The storage of these by-products increases the possibilities for chronic, as well as residual, effects on performance, even after the acute reaction to the drug has worn off. Of special concern are the long-term developmental effects in children and adolescents, who are particularly vulnerable to the drug’s behavioral and psychological effects. The “amotivational syndrome,” characterized by a pattern of energy loss, diminished school performance, harmed parental relationships, and other behavioral disruptions, has been associated with prolonged marijuana use by young persons. Although more research is required, recent national surveys report that 40% of heavy users experience some or all of those symptoms.
The Public Health Service concludes that marijuana has a broad range of psychological and biological effects, many of which are dangerous and harmful to health, and it supports the major conclusion of the National Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine.

Oregon marijuana legalization measure makes November ballot
First came Colorado and Washington. Will Oregon be next state to OK recreational pot use?
Oregonians will vote in November on whether to legalize marijuana for recreational use
…received at least 88,500 valid signatures to qualify for placement on the ballot…
If Oregon legalizes recreational marijuana, it would become the third state to do so, following Washington and Colorado, which both passed legalization initiatives in 2012. Alaska will also vote on a similar measure in November.
The Oregon ballot measure, Initiative Petition 53, seeks to regulate the personal possession, commercial cultivation and retail sale of cannabis to adults. Under the plan, taxes on the sale of cannabis are estimated to raise about $88 million in the first two years following the law’s implementation.
Recreational marijuana would be taxed at $1.50 a gram or $35 an ounce, according to the initiative. That revenue from the taxes would go to schools, law enforcement, drug treatment programs and mental health programs.
A study released Tuesday by ECO Northwest, an economic analysis and advisory group, estimated that marijuana regulation in Oregon would generate $38.5 million in tax revenue in the first year of sales.

Why are we not hearing from the religions that in the name of God or lord were condemning marijuana use for so many years? Now, suddenly, they’re quiet? The religions have given into yet another evil of the Gods.
Genesis 3:1-5
1 Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any beast of the field which Yahweh had made. And she said to the woman; Has Yahweh indeed said: You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said to the serpent; We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Yahweh has said: You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, or you will die.
4 And the serpent said to the woman; You will not surely die.
5 For He knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be as Gods (elohim), knowing Righteousness and evil.
Notice verse 5, they’ve become evil like the Gods. They’ve become a bunch of whipped puppies, tucking tail and disappearing when it comes to speaking out against evil.
The Same Thing Happened When Motion Picture and Television Were Introduced In The 1930s and 1940s
To boast their integrity, the religions attacked what was coming from Hollywood. When the majority stood behind them, they cried out how evil it was to show women in short skirts and low necklines on the screen.
I was born in 1934. For the first ten years of my life, as I remember, dresses buttoned up to the neck and were long enough to cover the feet. The religions, even the roman catholic church, taught this to be Scriptural. They screamed from their podium every Sunday morning that Satan has entered the homes of those with television sets. Is the Truth of the Inspired Scriptures not everlasting? The Savior, Yahshua Messiah, said:
Luke 24:25
Then He said to them: O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the Prophets have spoken!
I ask all of you, preachers and church fathers alike, are you nothing but fools, pretending to show the way to Salvation? Notice in your own bible.
Malakyah (Malachi) 3:6
For I am Yahweh, I change not; therefore you sons of Yaaqob are not consumed.
So why are you crawfishing? Why are you not speaking out? Is it not because you, too, are evil like the Gods and have been acting in pretense all this time?
Psalm 19:7
The Laws of Yahweh are Perfect, converting the whole person. The Testimony of Yahweh is sure, making the simple ones wise.
II Samuyl 22:31-33
31 Yahweh, His Way is Perfect; the Law of Yahweh is without flaw. He is a Shield to all those who take refuge and trust in Him.
32 For who is the Father besides Yahweh? And who is a Rock, except our Father?
33 It is Yahweh Who is my strong refuge, and He makes my way perfect.
Mattithyah (Matthew) 5:48
Therefore, become perfect, just as your Father Who is in heaven is Perfect.
Mattithyah 7:13-20
13 Enter in through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who go that way.
14 Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way which leads to life, and few there are who find it.
15 Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 Likewise, every Righteous tree brings forth Righteous fruit; but a tree of evil brings forth fruit of iniquity.
18 A Righteous tree cannot bring forth fruit of iniquity, nor can a tree of evil bring forth fruits of Righteousness.
19 Every tree which does not bring forth Righteous fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
20 Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.
Your Fathers Taught Truth
I am speaking to all religions when I say that your fathers taught that fornication, adultery, homosexuality, bestiality, and sodomy are clutches to the gates of hell and that television is making whores of the children, leading them straight to hell. Fornication, adultery, homosexuality, bestiality, and sodomy are taught and practiced today by the religions.
Juvenile delinquency is at its highest peak. So are STDs that result from the sexual sins of fornication, adultery, homosexuality, bestiality, and sodomy. Birth defects have hit one-hundred percent. All children are now born with some form of a birth defect. Some are born with half a brain, two faces, multiple limbs, or internal defects not visible to the eye, but they are there, and the doctors will tell you so. Everyone in the world is sick. Everyone! Many take their own lives because they can’t bear the pain or stress from their affliction. All of these curses are upon mankind because the religions give in to Satan, just as Yahweh shows in:
Genesis 3:1-5
1 Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any beast of the field which Yahweh had made. And she said to the woman; Has Yahweh indeed said: You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said to the serpent; We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Yahweh has said: You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, or you will die.
4 And the serpent said to the woman; You will not surely die.
5 For He knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be as Gods (elohim), knowing Righteousness and evil.
In fact, the Scriptures show that you and your religions belong to Satan. Your works show it.
I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 10
4 Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Laws; for sin is the transgression of the Laws.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous.
8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil.
10 In this the Children of Yahweh and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice Righteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not love his neighbor!
Romans 6:16
Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves as servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey—whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to Righteousness?
Your bible also shows that you have no Salvation, nor any part in the Kingdom of Yahweh. The Savior gives us the ONLY way to receive Salvation and an eternal part in the Kingdom of Yahweh.
Mattithyah 19:17
But He said to him: Why do you question Me about Righteousness? There is only One Who is the Standard of Perfection, and He is Yahweh; so if you would enter into life, keep the Laws of Yahweh.
Revelation 22:12-14
12 And behold, I come quickly, and My Reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work will be.
13 I am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 Blessed are those who keep His Laws, that they may have right to the Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates into the City.
So what about those who belong to Satan, those who gave in to Satan and stopped teaching the Laws of Righteousness. Remember:
I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 10
4 Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Laws; for sin is the transgression of the Laws.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous.
8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil.
10 In this the Children of Yahweh and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice Righteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not love his neighbor!
Yahshua Messiah shows you your sentence and He, like Yahweh, will not change His Mind.
Revelation 20:11-15
11 And I saw a Great White Throne, and Him Who sat on it, from Whose Face the powers of the earth and the powers of the heavens, including the Gods (elohim), were driven away; for the verdict was reached that there is no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before Yahweh. And the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is The Book of Life. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and sheol; the grave, delivered up the dead which were in them. And they were judged, every man, according to his works.
14 And death and sheol were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whoever was not found written in The Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
You are bringing sickness, misery, and death upon the children when you give in to evil. In fact, you are murdering the children, because you now say that you were lying when you told them that marijuana would wreck their health. Were you truly lying then or are you lying now, when you say it’s harmless? Do you see what hypocrites you are? Should Yahshua change His Mind? Should He at all think twice about it?
Revelation 20:15
And whoever was not found written in The Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
Yahshua Messiah spoke well of you when He said you will not repent of your murders.
Revelation 9:20-21
20 And the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues, still did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and Gods (elohim, teraphim) of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk;
21 Neither did they repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
The nuclear burning that is coming on this generation is coming on the lying preachers, who like whipped puppies tuck their tails and hide, instead of standing up for Truth and Righteousness. The damage is done. The sick world will get even sicker. You will not be able to hide from what will be next. It may even come at the hands of someone high on legal marijuana.
Marijuana is dangerous and it kills: it is a leading cause of injury crashes.
Here’s some examples of people killing and maiming others when under the influence of marijuana with or without combining with alcohol:
16 year old Teen Dies after Rolling Car off Cliff – Marijuana in System
Studies indicate that the level of marijuana found in Ruxana’s blood would impair her driving ability, decrease her reaction time and decrease her motor skills, said Iain McIntyre, the forensic toxicology laboratory manager for the Medical Examiner’s Office.
“These are all things that would and have contributed to motor vehicle accidents,” he said. Source

Man Kills Two in Head-On Collision
George Lynard was convicted of driving with marijuana in his bloodstream, causing a head-on collision that killed a 73 year-old man and a 69 year-old woman. Lynard appealed this conviction because he allegedly had a “valid prescription” for marijuana. Lynard appealed this conviction because he allegedly had a “valid recommendation” for marijuana. A Nevada judge agreed with Lynard and granted him a new trial. The case has been appealed to the Nevada Supreme Court. (DEA)
Mother’s Day Bus Crash Kills 22 People
“Frank Bedell should never have been behind the wheel of a bus on Mother’s Day… He was high on marijuana and dizzy from Benadryl. The Mother’s Day bus crash near City Park that killed 22 passengers is being blamed on driver Frank Bedell, who police say was seriously ill and under the influence of drugs when he got behind the wheel of the motor coach that morning. Safety experts say stricter federal rules governing the inspection of buses and the screening of drivers might have prevented the accident.” (NOLA).

Preachers, take notice!
Isayah, the Prophet of Yahweh, is speaking to you and to all who follow you. You should read it and then read Luke 24:25.
Isayah 24:1-6, 18-20
1 Before Yahweh’s very Eyes, the earth is made empty and it is made waste; the face of it is perverted and its inhabitants scattered abroad;
2 And it will be: as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his owner; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with him who takes usury, so with him who gives usury to him:
3 The land will be utterly emptied and utterly plundered, for it has come to pass that this Judgment has been pronounced.
4 The earth mourns and fades away, the world mourns and fades away, and the haughty people of the earth languish.
5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants of it, because they have transgressed the Laws, changed the Ordinance, and broken the Everlasting Covenant.
6 Because of this, the curse has devoured the earth, and they who dwell therein are desolate; therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
18 And it will come to pass, that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up from the midst of the pit will be caught in the snare; for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth are shaken.
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is dissolved clean, the earth is shaken exceedingly.
20 The earth will reel to and fro like a drunkard, and will sway like a hut. The transgression in it will be heavy upon it; it will fall, and not rise again.
Did you notice verse 2? This trouble is going to be upon you. Satan cannot save you. Your Gods, who teach you to be evil like them (Genesis 3:5) are as helpless as you. You will cry out to them, but it will be of no benefit. The evil Gods you serve, when, as Adam, you fail to stand up for Righteousness, will do the same as they did when your forefathers in Israyl cried out to them in the days of Yeremyah, the Prophet of Yahweh.
Yeremyah 11:12
Then the cities of Yahdah and the inhabitants of Yerusalem will go and cry out to the gods (elohim) to whom they offer incense; but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
Was Yahshua Messiah speaking to you concerning the troubles you are causing and will continue to cause in this present, prophesied generation?
Mattithyah 24:34
Truly I say to you: That generation will not pass away, until all these things are fulfilled.
Notice now, in this generation.
Mattithyah 24:11-12
11 And many false prophets will rise, and will deceive the many.
12 And because iniquity will abound, the love of the many will grow cold.
Iniquity is what false prophets bring forth, which causes love to cease and confusion and sin to abound. Iniquity? According to the Greek dictionary in Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, the word iniquity is word #458 from word #459, and means: not subject to the Laws; that is, doing away with the Laws.
458. άνομία anŏmia an-om-ee´-ah; from 459; illegality, i.e. violation of law or (gen.) wickedness:–iniquity, x transgress (-ion of) the law, unrighteousness.
459. ἂνομος anŏmŏs, an´-om-os; from 1 (as a neg. particle) and 3551; lawless, i.e. (neg.) not subject to law; (by impl. a Gentile), or (pos.) wicked:–without law, lawless, transgressor, unlawful, wicked.
This fits you perfectly, right?
Yahshua is speaking of this present generation. The generation of the nuclear bombs that will darken the sun. Yes, this generation!
Mattithyah 24:33-34
33 In the same way, when you see all these things, know that His coming and The End of the Ages are near, at the very door.
34 Truly I say to you: That generation will not pass away, until all these things are fulfilled.
He is speaking of religions and preachers who practice iniquity. The Prophet Isayah wrote that the curses will be upon the preacher as well as the people.
Isayah 24:2
And it will be: as with the people, so with the priest (preachers)…
This is speaking to you preachers who allow the minds and hearts of the people to be filled with confusion, brain damage, and sick, unhealthy bodies that cannot be undone. You, the teachers and leaders, under the leadership of the roman catholic church refuse to stand against this evil.
Isayah 24:2
And it will be…
The ‘it’ seen in verse 2 is spoken of in verse 1.
Isayah 24:1
Before Yahweh’s very Eyes, the earth is made empty and it is made waste; the face of it is perverted and its inhabitants scattered abroad.
Isayah 24:5-6
5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants of it, because they have transgressed the Laws, changed the Ordinance, and broken the Everlasting Covenant.
6 Because of this, the curse has devoured the earth, and they who dwell therein are desolate; therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
You need to Repent!
I know you won’t repent because Revelation 9:20-21 says you will not repent of your murders and sorceries, which means pharmaceuticals (drugs). Drugs? How many drugs were saying, for years, that marijuana contains? Did the big money that drugs, such as marijuana, bring in blind you or confuse you so that you can’t even remember yesterday? You need to repent!
Acts 3:19
Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out; that times of refreshing may come from the Presence of Yahweh.
Notice, you also need to convert to practicing Yahweh’s Righteousness. You need to do it now because the damage has already begun. Surely, you have noticed the news is filled with what your teachings and refusal to repent have brought forth in this generation, causing the land to be devoured and soon a great burning that you and the people, alike, will not escape.
Malakyah 4:1-4
1 For, behold, the day comes that will burn like an oven; and all the proud, yes, and all who do wickedly, will be stubble—the day that comes will burn them up, says Father Yahweh; and it will leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But for you who reverence My Name, the Light of Righteousness will arise with healing in its wings; and you will go out, leaping like calves released from the stall.
3 And the wicked will be trodden down; for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that this will be done, says Yahweh our Father.
4 Remember the Laws of Mosheh My Servant, which I commanded through him in Horeb for all Israyl, with the Statutes and Judgments.
The Righteousness that Yahweh gave to all who want to choose it is shown in Malakyah 4:4.
Psalm 19:7
The Laws of Yahweh are Perfect, converting the whole person. The Testimony of Yahweh is sure, making the simple ones wise.
Mattithyah 19:17
But He said to him: Why do you question Me about Righteousness? There is only One Who is the Standard of Perfection, and He is Yahweh; so if you would enter into life, keep the Laws of Yahweh.
I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 10
4 Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Laws; for sin is the transgression of the Laws.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous.
8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil.
10 In this the Children of Yahweh and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice Righteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not love his neighbor!
Revelation 22:12-15
12 And behold, I come quickly, and My Reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work will be.
13 I am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 Blessed are those who keep His Laws, that they may have right to the Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates into the City.
15 For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and worshipers of Gods (elohim) and everyone who professes to love, yet practices breaking the Laws.
I have warned you. You need to start practicing the Righteousness of Yahweh now, not your own ‘righteousness’, which is as filthy rags. You need to practice the Righteousness that Yahweh gives, which is Perfect; therefore, be perfect as Father Yahweh is Perfect.
May Yahweh bless your understanding.
