"What is Truth?"

"What is Truth?"

As most Christians know, it was Pontius Pilot who asked that question of Messiah as He stood before him, awaiting what would become His sentencing. I have often wondered if Pilot was really asking the question, or was it rhetorical in nature and more in the way of making a statement? If so, it may have been a statement that was born out of years of frustration at the lies that he had lived, had perpetuated, and falsehoods that surrounded him by people with evil intentions. Here stood One who was sinless in word, deed, and motive, and it seems to me that the text suggests that Pilot knew it. Finally, someone who was innocent of the charges laid against Him. Looking again at the familiar story, one thing that I find especially grievesome, is that something a Roman prefect was willing enough, desperate enough, or cynical enough to ask, is seemingly seldom inquired of by those in Christendom. That question being, "What is truth?"

Pertaining to the story, we know what happens from here. Finding no fault in Yeshua, Pilot tries to wash his hands of the whole affair, the people call on him to release to them a known murderer, and cried out instead for Messiah to be nailed to a tree and the guilt of His blood to be upon them and their children. Sadness fills me every time I think of it.

Two weeks ago, all around the world, people gathered in churches and around family tables laden with the traditional ham, and into their backyards to hunt for colored eggs. Simply writing that causes my heart rate to increase as tears form in my eyes because I am one of a growing number of believers from around the world who have dared to ask the question, "What is truth?"

Those of you who read this blog may have noticed that most of the dreams I have posted have taken place in the spring, at the time of Passover. I don't take that fact lightly and I believe that many of my dreams have pointed to that time of year for a specific reason. After the Hebrew children observed the first Passover, they were released from Herod's imposed slavery and the land of Egypt and entered into their time of testing in the desert. Through my studies of the last several years, I have come to understand that history is more cyclical, rather than linear, as I had been taught. So in this instance, could the end time period of testing begin after Passover? I believe it could.

Could it also be that a plan was put into motion a very long time ago to hide the significance of the Father's appointed times, His Feast Days, and His Torah, so that His children would be unlearned and unprepared for what awaits them? Again yes, I believe it very likely could. And that is what brings me to you.

The message of this post has been weighing on my heart for a year and this is my fourth attempt at writing it. There is a sense of finality surrounding it that I haven't been able to shake. Maybe within its words everything the Father has wanted me to say will be summed up and it will be the last one to be published. But perhaps even more than that possibility, is the sense that it may further alienate the very few church friends I have left, and being a person who is relational to the core, that is a cost that to me is worth weighing. If you are one of those friends reading this, then you understand me well enough to know that although the Father has given me the gift of mercy, He has also given me the unquenchable desire for truth. So having weighed the cost, although it grieves me, I'm ready to write what may be the final piece of truth that I have been asked to share with you and to do it in a manner that you're not accustomed to as coming from me.

The first part of the Bible, referred to as the Old Testament, has not passed away, nor has its teachings and statutes been nailed to the cross.The Bible never should have been divided into two parts because teachings such as dispensationalism and replacement theology are lies. They were fabricated a long time ago by men with their own fears, agendas, and antisemitic views. If you doubt the validity of that statement, take some time to look up some quotes and teachings regarding the people to whom the Old Testament was given, by men considered to be church fathers. Men like: Marcion of Sinope, Origen of Alexandria, John Chrysotom, and even Martin Luther and John Calvin. The church of Rome takes full responsibility for SUNday worship; and its holidays like Saint Valentine's Day, Easter, All Saints Day AKA Halloween, and Christmas, can never be "Christianized" because they belong to Pagans and the worship of their Babylonian sun gods - always have, and always will.

Hold on, here's where it gets really personal. It's one thing to not know. I was in that place myself for fifty years. But when you learn the truth about these matters and cannot legitimately argue with what recorded history reveals, and more, what the Bible actually says about the Almighty having forbidden His people to worship Him in the same manner that Pagans worship their gods, and yet you continue to do so and encourage others to do the same, what does that say about your relationship with Him? How sincere would you surmise the love a family member or friend if they continued to do something to you that they knew you hated? Don't gloss over that question and continue reading without sincerely contemplating your answer. Don't patronize yourself with reflecting upon His mercy that is long suffering ...until even He is fed up. How much would you think someone loved you if they continued to do something to you that they knew you hated?

I don't know how you answered that question. All I can do is tell you that verses like Hebrews 10:26-31 and James 4:17 scare me. And I think they would cause fear in anyone who believes themselves to be a sincere Christian. At least sincere enough to ask where they landed on those verses. After having walked away from those traditions eight years ago, I can't help but believe that what it boils down to is that once finding out the truth, people love their traditions more than they love Him. People care more about what other people think than what He thinks.

Looking back through my years in the church, it is ironic to me how Christians were quick to hotly criticize the Jewish leaders in the Bible for embracing their traditions above the commands of God, and therefore being hypocrites in Messiah's eyes, but don't think twice about doing the same thing with their own traditions. Many members of the clergy believe that the lukewarm church at Laodicea is the largest end time church, but few believe that it is reflected in their church. Do we honestly think that when He returns that He will be pleased with what He finds within the Christian church when He has always been sickened by the mixing of what He calls holy with the unholy?

Certainly by this time there are those of you who are asking yourselves something along the lines of, "What is up with Sue? This message doesn't sound like 'my Jesus'. And besides, I'm not Roman Catholic." Have you heard the saying, "All roads lead to Rome."? Trace your particular denomination or non-denomination all the way back. Not to a particular man, like John Wesley, but further. Neither YHVH or His Beloved Son; nor any of the Apostles, including Paul, changed anything that the Scriptures taught. YHVH gave His Word, and it is eternal. All that's transpired since the siege upon the Temple in 70 A.D., and the work of the Nicolaitans, or Constantine, or his mother, or the church of Rome and its teachings that spilled forth, changes nothing of HIS WORD THAT ENDURES FOREVER!

Why does this sound harsh? Because the hour is growing late and it's time to wake up. I've seen where things He has shown me are coming to pass and it is alarming to me that people remain in their slumber. And most importantly, when I was in prayer and asked Him for His anointing because I don't want to open my mouth concerning such things or lay my hands upon these keys without it, I asked Him, "What would you do, Father?" His response was immediate, "I would warn them."

I hope you are seeing that what I have written is not to be taken lightly. This isn't a matter of opinion, where you do what seems right to you and I do something different and it's all okay because we all end up in the same place in the end. This isn't a difference of opinion, they're different God/gods!     

Gentiles around the world are indeed coming to Him as stated in Jeremiah 16:19 and telling Him, "Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, worthless things in which there is no profit." One day you will awaken to the same truth. The only question that remains is where do you want to live by that truth, here and now with the consequences that will inevitably follow? Or when you stand before Messiah's face and look into His eyes, knowing that you have to bear those consequences? I am here to warn you and to pray that for your sake and the sake of your family that you choose wisely. Shalom

Here is the evidence to "Unholy Alliance". Perhaps after watching it you will understand The Father's urgency. The hour is growing late. It's time to wake up.
