Are you a true believer?

 Yahshua has given us a definition of a True Believer in the book of Revelation.

Here is his seven-fold witness to what a true believer is.

 

Seven-Fold Message (Witness) of Revelation

 

Although the Book of Revelation contains much of what is still to come, certain fundamental teachings are found in it. One revelation that comes through very clearly is the definition of True Believer, which is given in 7 places-the Biblical number of perfection and completeness.

************************************************************************

True Worship rests on two fundamental principles, and the True Believer has to comply with these two requirements:

 

1. To guard the commands of YHVH (G-d)

2. To trust in the faithfulness of Yahshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah)!

 

Seven Witnesses:

We read this in: (1) Rev. 12:17

                         (2) Rev. 14:12

                         (3) Rev. 15:2-3 Where the over comers are described as those who sing the song of Moshe (the Law-Teachings) and the song of the Lamb's (Yashua's) grace.

 

The other four witnesses: “Word,” “Command,” and “Teachings” are often used as parallel words, or synonyms, or interchangeably.

 

                                                Proof texts: a) Ps. 119:142

                                                                     b)       119:151

  c)       119:160          

                                          Compare also Ps. 119:105 with Prov. 6:23, and Prov 13:13

 

                          (4) Rev. 1:2

                          (5) Rev. 1:9

                          (6) Rev. 6:9

                          (7) Rev. 20:4

 

A total of Seven Perfect witnesses in the Book of Revelation. Read on for these witnesses extracted from YHVH’s (G-d’s) Letter to us, the Bible.

 

The Seven-Fold Witness

 

 

Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of G-d, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (KJV)

 

Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of G-d, and the faith of Jesus. (KJV)

 

Rev 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of G-d.

Rev 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of G-d, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord G-d Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. (KJV)

 

In the above passage we see over comers representing the Law (Torah) by the Song of Moshe and trust in Yahshua by the Song of the Lamb.

 

Rev 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of G-d, and for the testimony which they held: (KJV)

 

Here again we see triumphant believers representing the Word, Law, Commandments,  which are all interchangeable English words for G-d's Torah, and testimony representing Yahshua's faithfulness as the two essentials necessary for salvation. 

 

Rev 1:2  Who bare record of the word of G-d, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

 

Rev 1:9  I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of G-d, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

 

 

Rev 6:9  And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of G-d, and for the testimony which they held:

 

Rev 20:4  And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of G-d, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

 

In all these verses salvation is linked to not only trust in the faithfulness of Yahshua but also in obedience to G-d's Word (Torah.) We are reconciled by our trust in Yahshua's faithfulness but sealed by our obedience to YHVH's Torah.

 

Many seem to overlook or ignore that Yahshua Himself said we must obey His voice and be obedient to G-d's Torah. They do not recognize or seem to appreciate that He was the living manifestation of G-d's word the Torah. The Sages have told us that the Messiah would come and show us how to interpret and live the Torah of G-d, by His example. The Scriptures reveal His life as the living out of G-d's Torah, as a pattern for those that place their trust in Him for reconciliation (atonement) to G-d the Father.

 

The reconciliation of Yahshua’s faithfulness guarantees us forgiveness of Past Sins but not future ones:

 

Romans 3:25 Whom G-d hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of G-d; (KJV)

 

 2 Pet 1:9  But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. (NIV)

 

What is the warning if we don’t believe what Yahshua said about the definition of a True Believer and salvation?

 

2 Pet 2:21  For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

 

PROVERBS 28: 9

 

He who turns away his ear from hearing the teaching (Law-Torah-Instructions), Even his prayer is an abomination. (Isaiah-Yesh, 59:1-2, John- n. 9:31, 1 John -1 Yn 3:22)
