Shalom, my name is
Irene. Let the Voice of the Spirit of Truth speak today for our souls.
Repent! The Kingdom
of Heaven is at hand!
Dear friends! Heavenly Father put on my heart to start these
prophetic updates to edify and inspire the body of Christ, His bride, His
children. He wants me to share with you His Word that I received through the
Holy Spirit.
I am a Messianic believer; I am a daughter of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob through the blood and through the faith in Yeshua Hamashiah (Jesus
Christ). Heavenly Father gave me a prophetic gift more than 20 years ago, but
only now He is sending me with His word to His children. The time has come when
the fullness of the nations is coming to an end and when the Lord is turning
His favor toward His people Israel.
I was reluctant to come forward with these revelations, visions, and
prophecies. I know the price I am going to pay, and I have already paid in the
past for being obedient to His voice. I am just a messenger, but many of you
will not believe and will be quick to throw virtual stones against me. God
bless you all, especially those who are going to hate me and persecute me. I am
serving no man, but my Lord, God Almighty. I am His bond servant and part of
His household.
A few days ago Yeshua came to me in a vision urging me to
start these updates. I asked Him to send another person, who can do more for His
Kingdom. He told me that I have a free choice to follow His calling or not, but
in the end of my earthly journey I am going to answer for everything I have
done or said or thought in my entire life. Then I saw a vision of the future,
when I was standing before the judgment throne of Yeshua, the Son of God. It
was a throne room, and an angel was standing right beside the throne. This
angel was holding the book of my life where was written everything that I had
done, good or bad. When the angel of God reached the place in the book where I had
sinned, my sins were proclaimed in the open, even those that I had done in
secret, but Yeshua answered him: this sin is covered by My blood through her repentance.
Then righteous Judgment was served, and the angel continued to read the book of
my life.
Brothers and sisters, we all are going to be judged by the
book, by His word, by His commandments. I am a sinner and not any better than
all of you. I am forgiven through the blood of Yeshua. But there is a book that
is keeping all our deeds, words, and thoughts.
One time I was taken through the gates of the New Jerusalem
in a vision. Near the gates I was shown the Book of Life with my name in it.
This name was not engraved in the book, but designed in such a way that the
golden letters of my name were standing out (protruding) from the pages. Then I
was shown the book of my life. It was like a scroll. It started to unravel from
the days of my conception, and everything would go in motion like a movie
before my eyes. But when there was a part of my life when I sinned – this place
was stained with the redness of the blood of Yeshua. His blood covered my sins.
I learned that people in heaven like to share their life stories with each
other. But to the sadness of many they will have nothing to show but the great
mercy of Christ in their life. The lives of many show only the redness of the
blood of Yeshua that covers their many sins.
I pray today for those who do not believe that there are consequences
for sin. You are greatly mistaken. Sin has grievous consequences in people’s
life. The more a person sins, the more damaged the soul becomes. If you listen
to me right now, I plead you to repent of the sins in your life and to turn
away from the world. Do not waste another minute in a sinful lifestyle. It will
cost you a lot. If you think of repenting in the last minute, think again. Do
you know WHEN your last minute will be? You may not have another chance to
repent.
Today the Lord wants me to share with you His word:
Fear Not
Fear Not
This is the word of the Lord:
Fear not My child, when the storms will come.
Fear not My child, when My judgment befalls.
Fear not My child, I am holding you in My hand.
Fear not My child, I have purpose for you in the end.
Fear not My child, I love you even when you fall.
Fear not My child, come to Me away from the world.
Fear not My child, I am counting the days.
Fear not My child, and lift up your gaze.
Fear not My child, I am coming for you.
Fear not My child, because I love you.
Fear not My child, I created you, and you are part of My plan.
Fear not My child, be in peace and keep your heart for Me pure and
glad..
Heavenly Father bless you and keep you safe! In Yeshua’s
name!
1.The
voluntary departure of a moral agent from a known rule of rectitude or duty,
prescribed by God; any voluntary transgression of the divine law, or violation
of a divine command; a wicked act; iniquity.
In the English language the word “sin” is an abstract word,
and many people give different definitions of sin. For many, sin has become an
irrelevant word. Everyone has their own moral standards. These days, government
officials may declare in the law of the land that sin is no longer sin and
persecute those who disagree with them. People lose their anchor in the stormy
sea of moral life. They no longer have the foundation of what is right and what
is wrong.
A whole generation is losing its guidelines in this chaotic
life. And the main street church is going along with moral corruption.
I decided to start my own journey to find the truth about
the origin and nature of sin. If you are listening to me right now, join me in
this journey to find the truth that sets us free.
GO BACK
TO THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD WHICH IS IN THE SCRIPTURES
The Hebrew language is a language of concrete thinking.
Every word is tied to something that a person can see, feel and connect in his
life through experience.
The first time the word “sin” occurs is in Genesis chapter
4, verse 7. It is the Hebrew word חטּאת,
ḥaṭṭā'th, “a missing,”.
This definition gives us a perfect picture of the scene
where we have a target, a person who has to hit the target, and the action of
the person who hits or misses the target. To understand now exactly what sin
represents, we have to find out:
What
is the target?
Who
is making the hit or miss?
Why
and how are these hits and misses happening?
Yeshua’s
last words to His disciples before His death; His last will for His children.
John 16:7-8 MKJV
(7) But I tell you
the truth, it is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the
Comforter will not come to you. But if I depart, I will send Him to you.
(8) And when that One
comes, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness,
and concerning judgment.
The One Who comes is the Holy Spirit. He convicts the world
concerning sin. Look, it takes a revelation from the Holy Spirit to even
understand what sin is and to be convicted of it.
The
Great Conflict: Light vs. Darkness
John 1:1-5 The Scriptures 1998+
(1) In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.
(2) He was in the
beginning with Elohim.
(3) All came to be through Him, and without Him not even
one came to be that came to be.
(4) In Him was life, and the life was the light of
men.
(5) And the light shines in the darkness, and the
darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:9-11 The Scriptures 1998+
(9) He was the
true Light, which enlightens every man, coming into the world.
(10) He was in the
world, and the world came to be through Him, and the world did not know Him.
(11)He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him
John 1:14 The Scriptures 1998+
(14) And the Word
became flesh and pitched His tent among us, and we saw His esteem, esteem as of
an only brought-forth of a father, complete in favour and truth.
John 3:16-21 The Scriptures 1998+
(16) “For Elohim
so loved the world that He gave His only brought-forth Son, so that everyone
who believes in Him should not perish but possess everlasting life.
(17) “For Elohim
did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world
through Him might be saved.
(18) “He who
believes in Him is not judged, but he who does not believe is judged already,
because he has not believed in the Name of the only brought-forth Son of
Elohim.
(19) “And this
is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the
darkness rather than the light, for their works were wicked.
(20) “For
everyone who is practising evil matters hates the light and does not come to
the light, lest his works should be exposed.
(21) “But the
one doing the truth comes to the light, so that his works are clearly seen,
that they have been wrought in Elohim.”
This is the
biggest question: What did Yeshua come to save us from?
·From satan?
·From sin?
·From death?
When did
this great conflict begin? The conflict between Light and Darkness?
Genesis 1:1-5 The Scriptures 1998+
(1) In the
beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth.
(2) And the earth
came to be formless and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of Elohim was moving on the face of the waters.
(3) And Elohim
said, “Let light come to be,” and light came to be.
(4) And Elohim saw
the light, that it was good. And Elohim separated the light from the
darkness.
(5)And Elohim called the light ‘day’ and the darkness He called
‘night.’ And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, the first
day.
-----------------
Where did darkness come from? Why in these verses does
it not say that God created darkness?
What is
Darkness?
Webster dictionary
Darkness
D'ARKNESS, n. 1. Absence of light.
You cannot have less or more darkness; you can have only
more or less light. Darkness is the state where is no light.
In terms of physics, an object is said to be dark when it
absorbs photons, causing it to appear dim compared to other objects.
For example, a matte black paint does not reflect much visible light and
appears dark, whereas white paint reflects much light and appears bright
Physical
Light and Darkness vs. Spiritual Light and Darkness
From the Scriptures above we see that Yeshua and His
disciples describe spiritual darkness. Then there is the question: what is the
relation between spiritual and physical darkness? Did God create them? Or do
they have another origin?
1 John 1:5 MKJV
(5) And this is
the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is
light, and in Him is no darkness at all.
1 John 1:6-7 MKJV
(6) If we say that
we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice
the truth.
(7) But if we walk
in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one
another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
From the context we see that he is talking about spiritual
light and spiritual darkness. There is a
connection between darkness and sin, light and righteousness. Let us explore
this connection deeper.
The
physical universe is a reflection of the heavenly realm
God uses the elements of our world to reveal to us His
Kingdom
We know that even before the first element of the physical
universe was created, there were heavenly realms which were populated with
intelligent creations. We call them angelic beings, or heavenly hosts.
Job 38:4-7 The Scriptures 1998+
(4) Where were you
when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding.
(5) Who set its
measurements, if you know? Or who stretched the line upon it?
(6) Upon what were
its foundations sunk? Or who laid its corner-stone,
(7) when the
morning stars sang together, and all the sons of Elohim shouted for joy?
Here is an example of how God Himself uses pictorial
language to express the heavenly beings, “sons of Elohim,” with the “morning
stars.” This is the code word which represents these created beings in our
physical universe.
When God
created the first man, He created him in His image.
Genesis 1:26 The Scriptures 1998+
(26)And Elohim said, “Let Us make
man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over the
fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the livestock, and
over all the earth and over all the creeping creatures that creep on the
earth.”
If we look from the perspective that the physical universe
is designed to reflect things in heaven, we have to investigate how the
physical darkness was reflecting the spiritual darkness.
As we see in the first verses in the Scriptures
Genesis 1:1-5 The Scriptures 1998+
(1) In the beginning Elohim created the
heavens and the earth.
(2) And the earth came to be formless
and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep.
·God is Light and in Him there is no darkness (1
John 1:5 )
·If God is the opposite of darkness, how did
darkness come to be?
·How do you understand the next verses about
darkness in the light of the verse above?
Psalm 104:19-20 MKJV
(19) He
appointed the moon for seasons; the sun knows its going down.
(20) You
make darkness, and it is night, in which all the beasts of the forest creep
forth.
Isaiah 45:5-7 MKJV
(5) I am
Jehovah, and there is none else, no God besides Me; I clothed you, though you
have not known Me;
(6) that
they may know from the rising of the sun, and to the sunset, that there is none
besides Me. I am Jehovah, and there is none else;
(7) forming
the light and creating darkness; making peace and creating evil. I Jehovah
do all these things.
We see two
different kinds of darkness in place
·Spiritual darkness that God is not and did not
create
·Physical darkness that God created to reflect
the spiritual darkness that already existed before the creation of the physical
universe.
Therefore, God is telling us through his
creation about many spiritual things that happened and for us to find out
through observation.
Romans 1:20 The Scriptures 1998+
(20) For since the
creation of the world His invisible qualities have been clearly seen,
being understood from what has been made, both His everlasting power
and Mightiness, for them to be without excuse,
Facts about
natural light
·Light cannot be seen with the human eye
·Light is a type of energy
·Light is a beam of energy that moves in a wave.
·Light waves come in many sizes. The size of the
wave, the distance between two wave peaks, is called a wavelength.
·The wavelengths of the light that most people
can see ranges from 400 to 700 billionths of a meter.
·The human eye needs light to see.
·Light travels very fast and in a straight line,
until something bends it. The straight waves of light are called light rays.
·Plants convert light energy from the sun into
food. This process is called photosynthesis.
·Nothing can travel faster than light
Light
cannot be seen with human eye; we only see its reflection
1 John 3:6 MKJV
Everyone who abides in Him does not sin. Everyone who sins has not
seen Him nor known Him.
1 John 4:12 MKJV
(12) No
one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and
His love is perfected in us.
”Light cannot be seen with the human eye; we
only see its reflection
A common Physics demonstration involves the directing of a
laser beam across the room. With the room lights off, the laser is turned on
and its beam is directed towards a plane mirror. The presence of the light beam
cannot be detected as it travels towards the mirror. Furthermore, the light
beam cannot be detected after reflecting off the mirror and traveling through
the air towards a wall in the room. The only locations where the presence of
the light beam can be detected are at the location where the light beam strikes
the mirror and at the location where the light beam strikes a wall. At these
two locations, a portion of the light in the beam is reflecting off the objects
(the mirror and the wall) and traveling towards the students' eyes. And since
the detection of objects is dependent upon light traveling from that object to
the eye, these are the only two locations where one can detect the light beam.
But in between the laser and the mirror, the light beam cannot be detected.
There is nothing present in the region between the laser and the mirror that is
capable of reflecting the light of the beam to students' eyes.“
But then the phenomenal
occurred (as it often does in a Physics class). A mister is used to spray water
into the air in the region where the light beam is moving. Small suspended
droplets of water are capable of reflecting light from the beam to your eye. It
is only due to the presence of the suspended water droplets that the light path
from the laser to the mirror could be detected. When light from the laser (a
luminous object) strikes the suspended water droplets (the illuminated object),
the light is reflected to students' eyes. The path of the light beam can now be
seen. With light, there can be sight. But without light, there would be no
sight.
God is revealed to us through many things. He is
true light; we cannot see Him as He is. But we can see Him through the
reflection of the visible and invisible world. Even in Heaven the whole angelic
host sees only the reflection of Him as much they can see and comprehend their
experiences of God.Because darkness is the opposite of light, there
is no reflection of any light in the darkness. You cannot see anything in the
darkness.
Light is a
beam of energy that moves in a wave.
Elohim
gives the energy of life, like a beam of energy for everything.
Genesis 2:7 The Scriptures 1998+
(7) And יהוה Elohim formed the man out of dust from the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils breath of life. And the man became a
living being.
Revelation 22:5 The Scriptures 1998+
(5) And
night shall be no more, and they shall have no need of a lamp or the light of
the sun, because יהוה Elohim shall give
them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.
·Light has its source
·The source of light gives up its usable energy
·Darkness does not have a source
·Darkness does not give energy, but only absorbs
what light is given
The
Prism, Rainbow, and Colors
Light waves come in many different sizes. The size of the wave, or the distance
between two wave peaks, is called a wavelength.
Genesis 9:11-17 The Scriptures 1998+
( (13) “I
shall set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the
covenant between Me and the earth.
(14) “And
it shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be
seen in the cloud,
(15) and
I shall remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living
creature of all flesh, and never again let the waters become a flood to destroy
all flesh.
White light separates into different colors on
entering the raindrop due to dispersion, causing red light to be refracted less
than blue light.
Most light that we interact with is in the form
of white light, which contains many or all of these wavelength ranges
within them. Shining white light through a prism causes the wavelengths to bend
at slightly different angles due to optical refraction. The resulting light is,
therefore, split across the visible color spectrum.
White light
vs. dark (black)
“When all the wavelengths of the visible light
spectrum strike your eye at the same time, white is perceived. The sensation of
white is not the result of a single color of light. Rather, the sensation of
white is the result of a mixture of two or more colors of light. Thus, visible
light - the mix of ROYGBIV - is sometimes referred to as white light.
Technically speaking, white is not a color at all - at least not in the sense
that there is a light wave with a wavelength that is characteristic of white.
Rather, white is the combination of all the colors of the visible light
spectrum. If all the wavelengths of the visible light spectrum give the
appearance of white, then none of the wavelengths would lead to the appearance
of black. Once more, black is not actually a color. Technically speaking, black
is merely the absence of the wavelengths of the visible light spectrum. So when
you are in a room with no lights and everything around you appears black, it
means that there are no wavelengths of visible light striking your eye as you
sight at the surroundings.”
(9) And
when He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the beings of those having
been slain for the Word of Elohim and for the witness which they held,
(10) and
they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Master, set-apart and true,
until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
(11) And
there was given to each one a white robe, and they were told that
they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow
servants and their brothers, who would be killed as they were, was completed.
Revelation 19:7-8 The Scriptures 1998+
(7) “Let
us be glad and rejoice and give Him praise, for the marriage of the Lamb has
come, and His wife prepared herself.”
(8) And
to her it was given to be dressed in fine linen, clean and bright, for
the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the set-apart ones.
Revelation 19:14 The Scriptures 1998+
(14) And
the armies in the heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and clean,
followed Him on white horses.
Elohim is the Light; He is the source of Light.
Every saint will have a robe that reflects His
light in fullness. Our everyday life is the reflection of His light.
Revelation 3:4-6 The Scriptures 1998+
(4)
“Nevertheless, you have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments.
And they shall walk with Me in white, because they are worthy.
(5) “He
who overcomes shall be dressed in white robes, and I shall by no means blot
out his name from the Book of Life, but I shall confess his name before My
Father and before His messengers.
(6) “He
who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
Revelation 3:15-18 The Scriptures 1998+
(15) “I
know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold
or hot.
(16) “So,
because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am going to vomit you out
of My mouth.
(17)
“Because you say, ‘Rich I am, and I am made rich, and need none at all,’
and do not know that you are wretched, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
(18) “I
advise you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire,1 so that you become
rich; and white garments, so that you become dressed, so that the shame of your
nakedness might not be shown; and anoint your eyes with ointment, so that
you see.
The human
eye needs light to see.
The only way we can see light is through our
eyes. The same way we have to have spiritual eyes to see God who is the Light
and all His kingdom.
John 3:3 The Scriptures 1998+
(3) יהושע answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I
say to you, unless one is born from above, he is unable to see the reign of
Elohim.”
Revelation 3:17-18 The Scriptures 1998+
(17)
“Because you say, ‘Rich I am, and I am made rich, and need none at all,’
and do not know that you are wretched, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and
naked.
(18) “I
advise you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire,1 so that you become rich;
and white garments, so that you become dressed, so that the shame of your
nakedness might not be shown; and anoint your eyes with ointment, so that you
see. Footnote: 1Ps. 19:10, Ps. 119:72 & 127, Prov. 30:5.
Light
travels very fast and in a straight line, until something bends it. The
straight waves of light are called light rays.
The path of light is always straight.
John 1:23 The Scriptures 1998+
(23) He
(Yohanan/John the Baptist) said, “I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness,
‘Make straight the way of יהוה,’ as the prophet
Yeshayahu said.”
Hebrews 12:12-14 MKJV
(12)
Because of this, straighten up the hands which hang down and the
enfeebled knees.
(13) And
make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the
way, but let it rather be healed.
(14)
Follow peace with all, and holiness, without which no one shall see the
Lord;
·Plants convert light energy from the sun into
food. This process is called photosynthesis.
·Light brings life.

priesthood, a holy nation, a people for possession, so that you might speak of
the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
l1 John 1:5-6 MKJV And this is the message which we have heard
from Him and declare to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at
all. (6)
If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie
and do not practice the truth.
l1 John 2:8-11 MKJV Again, I write a new commandment to you,
which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away,
and the true Light now shines. (9) He who says he is in the light and hates his
brother is in darkness until now.
(10) He who loves his brother
abides in the light, and there is no offense in him. (11)
But he who hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and
does not know where he is going, because darkness has blinded his eyes.
lJude 1:6 MKJV And those angels not having kept their first
place, but having deserted their dwelling-place, He has kept in everlasting
chains under darkness for the judgment of a great Day;
lJude 1:11-13 MKJV Woe to them! For they went the way of Cain,
and gave themselves up to the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the
gainsaying of Korah. (12) These are sunken rocks in your love feasts,
feasting together with you; feeding themselves without fear; waterless clouds
being carried about by winds; fruitless autumn trees, having died twice, having
been plucked up by the roots; (13) wild waves of the sea foaming up their shames;
wandering stars for whom blackness of darkness has been kept forever.
What is
spiritual darkness?
lIt is a
place that is separate from the Kingdom
of Heaven.
lIt is the
place where all sinners are.
lOuter
darkness is the permanent place for sinners.
lThere is
no eternal light and eternal life in spiritual darkness, there is only
damnation.
Sin is
darkness
lSin is a part of the
kingdom of darkness
lSin is in conflict with
Light.
lSin is the result where
there is no Light
lSin separates from light
and life
lSin brings death first
physically then spiritually.
lDeath is a separation.
lAs darkness is the
absence of light, so is death the absence of life.
