BIBLE STUDY
Even Cyrus, the Gentile king, and Sheshbazzar, a name born in Babylonian dominion, become part of Yahweh’s orchestration. He stirred the spirit (Ezra 1:1, 1:5). Restoration didn’t start with gold or blueprints—it started with willing hearts.
Accusing truth-tellers of “antisemitism” is more than slander — it is a violation of the Ninth Commandment. Scripture makes it clear: Yahweh does not bless genocidal regimes, nor does He align Himself with thrones of bloodshed. The dividing line is not Jew versus Gentile, but Life versus Death. Only those who enter through Yahushua, the Door, choose life.
Gehenna is more than a word for “hell.” It was a real valley outside Jerusalem where child sacrifices defiled Yahweh’s people. Prophets renamed it the Valley of Slaughter, and Yahushua used it to warn of eternal fire and final judgment. From Jeremiah’s curses to James’s warning about the tongue set on fire by Gehenna, Scripture paints a sobering picture: rebellion leads to destruction, but Yahushua is the Door to life.
Yahushua told His disciples, “Stay awake!” But this wasn’t a new command. From the watchmen of Ezekiel to the midnight cry of the Bridegroom in Matthew, Scripture has always warned us to remain alert. This post walks through the Old and New Testament parallels that show what it really means to be awake—and what we risk if we’re not. Don't sleep through the harvest.
