Climate Change and God’s Instructions

Climate Change is frequently in the news, and has been for many years now.  And there is evidence that severe weather events are becoming both more frequent and more devastating.

But what is the main driving force behind this?  The media tells us that it is due to human activities, mainly burning too much fossil fuel and releasing carbon dioxide into the air.  The Bible also tells us that climate change is due to human activities, but it has an altogether different focus, and a different force driving these adverse events.

It is true that CO2 levels in the atmosphere have increased, and that if we are to be responsible stewards of our planet, we must run things in a way that minimises our damage and is sustainable.  To do otherwise is insanely selfish and short-sighted.  But there is considerable doubt that the current CO2 levels are high enough to initiate these severe weather events.

Jehovah God, the creator and maintainer of the earth, and the ultimate author of the Bible, explains the REAL cause of these problems: SIN.  Please read it for yourself:

 

“Now it will come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of Jehovah your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that Jehovah your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.  And all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of Jehovah your God:  Blessed will you be in the city, and blessed will you be in the country.  Blessed will be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.  Blessed will be your basket and your kneading bowl.  Blessed will you be when you come in, and blessed will you be when you go out.

“Jehovah will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they will come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.  Jehovah will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which Jehovah your God is giving you.  Jehovah will establish you as a sacred people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of Jehovah your God and walk in His ways.  Then all peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the Name of Jehovah, and they will be afraid of you.

“And Jehovah will grant you plenty of goods in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers to give you.  Jehovah will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand.  You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow.  And Jehovah will make you the head and not the tail; you will be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.  So you will not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

“But it will come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of Jehovah your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:  Cursed will you be in the city, and cursed will you be in the country.  Cursed will be your basket and your kneading bowl.  Cursed will be the fruit of your body and the produce of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.  Cursed will you be when you come in, and cursed will you be when you go out.

“Jehovah will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken Me.  Jehovah will make the plague cling to you until He has consumed you from the land which you are going to possess.  Jehovah will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with severe burning fever, with the sword, with scorching, and with mildew; they will pursue you until you perish.

“And your heavens which are over your head will be bronze, and the earth which is under you will be iron.  Jehovah will change the rain of your land to powder and dust; from the heaven it will come down on you until you are destroyed.

“Jehovah will cause you to be defeated before your enemies; you will go out one way against them and flee seven ways before them; and you will become troublesome to all the kingdoms of the earth.  Your carcasses will be food for all the flying creatures of the heaven and the beasts of the earth, and no one will frighten them away.

“Jehovah will strike you with the boils of Egypt, with tumours, with the scab, and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed.  Jehovah will strike you with madness and blindness and confusion of heart.  And you will grope at noonday, as a blind man gropes in darkness; you will not prosper in your ways; you will be only oppressed and plundered continually, and no one will save you.

You will betroth a wife, but another man will lie with her; you will build a house, but you will not dwell in it; you will plant a vineyard, but will not gather its grapes.  Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will not eat of it; your donkey will be violently taken away from before you, and will not be restored to you; your sheep will be given to your enemies, and you will have no one to rescue them.

“Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people, and your eyes will look and fail with longing for them all day long; and there will be no strength in your hand.  A nation whom you have not known will eat the fruit of your land and the produce of your labour, and you will be only oppressed and crushed continually.  So you will be driven mad because of the sight which your eyes see.

Jehovah will strike you in the knees and on the legs with evil boils which cannot be healed, and from the sole of your foot to the top of your head.  Jehovah will bring you and the king whom you set over you to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will serve other gods made of wood and stone.  And you will become a horror, a proverb, and a byword among all nations where Jehovah will lead you.

“You will carry much seed out to the field and gather but little in, for the locust will consume it.  You will plant vineyards and tend them, but you will neither drink of the wine nor gather the grapes; for the worms will eat them.  You will have olive trees throughout all your territory, but you will not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olives will drop off.  You will beget sons and daughters, but they will not be yours; for they will go into captivity.  Locusts will consume all your trees and the produce of your land.

“The immigrant who is among you will rise higher and higher above you, and you will come down lower and lower.  He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him; he will be the head, and you will be the tail.

“Moreover all these curses will come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of Jehovah your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you.  And they will be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever, because you did not serve Jehovah your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things.    Deuteronomy 28:1-47.

 

But this mainly talks of drought.  Can God use other extreme events to correct and/or punish us?

 

You will be punished by Jehovah of Hosts with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with storm and tempest and the flame of devouring fire.    Isaiah 29:6

 

So yes, God says he can and will use all of these things against us if we refuse to obey Him.  But are we refusing to obey God?  Are we not working toward equality and fairness?  Yes, that is the story, but is it true?  The statistics show that the rich are becoming richer, while the poor are being ground into the dust.  Our governments are becoming increasing concerned with protecting the elite, even while they pretend they are there for everyone’s benefit.

 

Again, are we refusing to live righteously and obey God’s Instructions?  Let us see how we measure up against God’s summary of that: His Ten Commandments:

 

And God spoke all these words, saying:

1   I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You will have no other gods before Me.

2  You will not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you will not bow down to them nor serve them.  For I, Jehovah your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

3   You will not lift up the Name of Jehovah your God in a worthless way, for Jehovah will not leave anyone who lifts up His Name in a worthless way unpunished.

4   Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.  Six days you will labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of Jehovah your God.  In it you will do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.  For in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day.  Therefore Jehovah blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

5   Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which Jehovah your God is giving you.

6   You will not murder.

7   You will not commit adultery.

8   You will not steal.

9 You will not testify a false witness against your neighbour.

10  You will not covet your neighbour’s house; you will not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbour’s.  Exodus 20:1-17

 

So, how did you measure up?  And how does our society measure up?  Let’s look at the society level for now, as that is the level that God uses to bring massive judgement on a nation, or upon a significant area of that nation.  And as I am Australian, let us use Australia as an example.

 

1:  Do we worship Jehovah as God?  If so, we would acknowledge Him by name, and we would ask Him to bless and protect our nation.  We do not do that.  If there is ever any mention of God, it is at best the Lord God, a weasel title that avoids using the Creator’s real name, and more often it is merely God, which can, and is intended to, mean any god that anyone might wish to embrace.  Indeed, most of our nominally Christian church buildings have been converted to secular uses over the last sixty years, and in the 2021 census, less than 44% made any claim about being Christian, and even most of the 44% rarely read their Bibles, pray or attend church services.

Conclusion:  we do not worship Jehovah as God.

 

2:  Do we make idols and bow down to them?  Many religions active in Australia, including many that claim to be Christian, do exactly that.  The ‘Christian’ sects that do so pretend that they are not worshipping their images, but the reality is that they DO bow down to them and serve them, demonstrating that they are in fact directly disobeying Jehovah’s second commandment.

Conclusion:  we worship idols, even though God expressly forbids it.

 

3: Though it is unusual for people to use Jehovah in an unworthy way in Australia, that is likely only because few actually know His name, but God, His description, is often used with contempt.  And the next worst thing, abusing the name and reputation of Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, is widespread, even by people who think themselves to be educated and tolerant.

Conclusion: We dishonour Jehovah by dishonouring his Son.

 

4: Do we honour God’s Seventh-Day Sabbath?  Mainstream ‘Christianity’ abandoned Jehovah’s true sabbath almost nineteen hundred years ago, and replaced it with their unBiblical ‘Christian’ sabbath on the first day of the week.1  But even that feeble attempt at keeping the sabbath has been eroded away to almost nothing.  Many Christians don’t even bother to spend an hour or two in worship on their sabbath, and our laws have progressively rescinded any restrictions on non-religious activities on any sabbath.  In so doing, we are openly despising Jehovah as our Creator, and rejecting His account of how he created us, replacing it with the impossible Big Bang/evolution creation myths, which merely pretend to be scientific.2

Conclusion: we reject Jehovah’s Sabbath, and Him as our creator.

 

5: This command comes with a promise of long life, but even so it is frequently broken.  We have all seen children, some of them now adults, dishonour their parents by refusing to obey them.  Some will even rob their parents, or abuse them to force their compliance with some scheme the ‘child’ wants.  And by the way, Jehovah God, as our Creator, is our ultimate parent, and thus deserves to be honoured by us.

Conclusion: Many of us do not honour our parents.

 

6: Ah, but we do not murder, or at least we murder less than our ancestors!  Is that true?  In one way: homicides have declined to half the rate they were in 1991, but that still means that 190 people were murdered in Australia in 2021. That is less than one murder a day.  Still far too many.  But let’s look at the real number, and the real horror.  Each year, our nation murders about 70,000 unborn children, and this is done with the consent of the majority of Australians, and paid for by our governments.  That is 368 babies slaughtered for each and every acknowledged murder.  This indicates that since abortion became legalised, in the last 50 years at least three million, five hundred thousand (3,500,000) defenceless Australian children have been murdered at the request of their own mothers.  This is almost 14% of Australia’s population.  Surely no one could want more lethal brutality than this.

Conclusion: We are a nation of cold-blooded murderers, and even babies are not safe here.

 

7: And how about adultery?  Well, in 1994 our Federal government decided Jehovah is stupid, and decreed that adultery is not a crime.  (fornication was already legal).  This was supported by most Australians, and many of them have gone on to become adulterers.  This ‘freedom’ is tragically reflected in the number of divorces, which has surged from negligible numbers in 1900 to about 50,000 a year now.  However, this is likely a very small proportion of the actual adulterers.  And our national statistics indicate that almost 20% of couples are now in de facto relationships, meaning they have not even bothered to get married.  This deterioration in sexual morality is reflected in a continuing increase in rapes.

Conclusion: We are a nation that tolerates adultery, and many of us are adulterers.  Matrimony is not holy here.

 

8: We are a nation of thieves.  Even the land we live on was stolen from the First Nation peoples.  Employers often steal wages from their employees through underpaying them, and some employees steal from their employers, both direct theft and indirect, by under-performing at work.  Thefts from supermarkets and other retailers, as well as thefts from farms, homes and cars, are becoming more serious each year.

Conclusion: We are a nation of thieves.

 

9: Are we a bunch of liars?  Sadly, even our elections support this contention, as candidates often promise things that they have no intention of actually doing if they get in, and also do not hesitate to lie about what their opponents have done or are promising to do. Our news media, almost daily, reports how the lies of various public figures, corporations and government bodies have been exposed.  The lies are typically designed to benefit the liar, at the expense of their ‘neighbour’.

Conclusion: we are liars.

 

10: Do we want what is NOT ours?  We have an entire industry devoted to teaching us to covet what we don’t have.  It’s called advertising.  But that is centered on material things, like bigger houses, luxury cars, expensive clothes and cosmetics to make us appear more beautiful.  Or do you want someone’s job, income or fame?  Coveting someone’s wife or husband is something else altogether.  That is the first step in adultery.  Most of these things are common themes in popular books, movies and TV programs.  God tells us to be content with what we have, our society tells us the opposite.

Conclusion: we live in a society built on coveting.

 

So, what is our score as a nation?  0 out of 10.  And the situation is much the same in all the other supposedly Christian countries.  As we remove Jehovah and Jesus from our national consciousness, we move further and further from what God wants us to be.  Now, is it any wonder that Jehovah is punishing us?  No, it is not.  In fact, if He was not trying to correct us, He would not be consistent with what He has told us.

And yes, many of these disasters have happened in the past too.  But reread the ten commandments and look at the history of our nation.  We have NEVER fully obeyed God.  And as we move further from him, the disasters falling upon us are becoming more frequent and more severe.  And are the leaders of our so-called Christian churches standing up and exposing our sins, and calling for a return to the teachings of the Bible?  No.  That might drive more people from their churches, and further reduce their income.  The most they do is uphold some of their unBiblical church traditions.  And what are our politicians doing?  Are they passing new laws that are consistent with the teachings of the Bible to reduce the disasters falling on our country?  No.  They are working tirelessly to undermine what remains of Biblical Laws in our society.  As seen above, they have legalised working on the sabbath, adultery and the murder of unborn children.  God instituted marriage as a covenant between a man and a woman.  They have changed this to allow cohabitation and homosexual marriages, in defiance of Jehovah’s law.  Our state schools are required to teach naturalistic origin myths, and anyone who dares to teach Biblical origins is sacked.  Our schoolchildren are being taught that sexual perversion is ‘normal’ and if someone asks us to help them overcome their deviant sexual orientation, it is now a criminal offence in Victoria to assist them.

And does Jehovah promise to punish us with increasingly devastating disasters if we refuse to return to Him and obey Him?  Yes, He does:

 

“You will not make idols for yourselves; neither a carved image nor a sacred pillar will you rear up for yourselves; nor will you set up an engraved stone in your land, to bow down to it; for I am Jehovah your God.  You will keep My Sabbaths and reverence My Sanctuary.  I am Jehovah.

“If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them, then I will give you heavy rain in its season, the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will yield their fruit.  Your threshing will last until the time of vintage, and the vintage will last until the time of sowing; you will eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.  I will give peace in the land, and you will lie down, and none will make you afraid; I will rid the land of evil animals, and the sword will not go through your land. You will chase your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you.  Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will put ten thousand to flight; your enemies will fall by the sword before you.

“For I will look on you favourably and make you fruitful, multiply you and confirm My covenant with you.  You will eat the old harvest, and clear out the old because of the new.  I will set My tabernacle among you, and My soul will not abhor you.  I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people.

“I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk upright.

“But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments, and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgements, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant, I also will do this to you.  I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which will consume the eyes and cause sorrow of soul.  And you will sow your seed worthlessly, for your enemies will eat it.

“I will set My face against you, and you will be defeated by your enemies.  Those who hate you will reign over you, and you will flee when no one pursues you.

“And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.  I will break the pride of your power; I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze.  And your strength will be spent worthlessly; for your land will not yield its produce, nor will the trees of the land yield their fruit.

“Then, if you walk contrary to Me, and are not willing to obey Me, I will bring on you seven times more plagues, according to your sins.  I will also send wild animals among you, which will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number; and your roads will be desolate.

“And if by these things you are not reformed by Me, but walk contrary to Me, then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins.  And I will bring a sword against you that will execute the vengeance of My covenant; when you are gathered together within your cities I will send pestilence among you; and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.  When I have cut off your branch of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will bring back to you your bread by weight, and you will eat and not be satisfied.

“And after all this, if you do not obey Me, but walk contrary to Me, then I also will walk contrary to you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.  You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.  I will destroy your high places, cut down your pillars, and cast your corpses on the corpses of your idols; and My soul will abhor you.  I will lay your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the fragrance of your sweet aromas.  I will bring the land to desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it will be astonished at it.  I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you; your land will be desolate and your cities waste.

“Then the land will enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land; then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths.  As long as it lies desolate it will rest, for the time it did not rest on your sabbaths when you dwelt in it.

“And as for those of you who are left, I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; the sound of a shaken leaf will cause them to flee; they will flee as though fleeing from a sword, and they will fall when no one pursues.  They will stumble over one another, as it were before a sword, when no one pursues; and you will have no power to stand before your enemies.  You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will eat you up.    Leviticus 26:1-38

 

Jehovah God has already brought these punishments upon the nation of Israel, and totally destroyed them as a nation for almost two thousand years.  Can we not learn from their mistakes?  Do we want to suffer these punishments ourselves?  Please understand this.  Climate Change is not being driven by us burning fossil fuels.  It is being driven by sin, our sin.  The cycle of punishments listed above has already begun.  We have no time left to waste.3  It can only be halted, and can even be reversed, by us, as a nation, turning to Jehovah God, dusting off our Bibles, seeking forgiveness through God’s Son Jesus Christ, truly repenting and learning to walk in righteousness, as the Bible teaches.  Everything else will only make things worse.  And Lord Jehovah promises this:

 

“But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me, and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if their uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and they accept their iniquity; then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember; I will remember the land.    Leviticus 26:40-42

 

“The soul that sins, it will die.  The son will not bear the iniquity of the father, nor the father bear the iniquity of the son.  The righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.  But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does righteous judgements, he will surely live; he will not die.  None of the transgressions which he has committed will be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he will live.

“Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says Lord Jehovah, “and not that he should turn from his ways and live?    Ezekiel 18:20-23

 

And this also shows how God will treat us as individuals.  Jehovah will always watch over every person who fears and loves Him, and tries to walk in His Way.  Even if our nation, along with all the others, continues its insane waltz with Satan, God will remember us:

 

“Yet now, our brethren, I know that you did this through deception, as did your leaders.  But according to those things which God foretold and preached by the mouths of all the prophets, that His Messiah would suffer, has been fulfilled through this.

“Therefore repent and be converted, that your sins will be blotted out, and times of refreshing will come from the face of Lord Jah, and that He will send that which was prepared for you, Jeshua the Messiah,4 whom heaven must receive until the time of all the things which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets of old is fulfilled.    Acts 3:17-21

 

And so we have these promises: 1: Because Jeshua has suffered and died for us, in our place, we can be given new life. 2: Jesus (Jeshua) will return.

 

 

The Return of Jeshua

Perhaps this is a surprise to some, but Jeshua will not return until our so-called Climate Change, and its accompanying wars, have brought our entire planet to the edge of complete extinction.  Jeshua refers to this as the Great Tribulation:

 

Jeshua replied and said to them: “Beware!  Let no one deceive you.  For many will come in My Name, and they will say ‘I AM!  I am the Anointed,’ and they will deceive many.  And you are certain to hear of revolutions and rumours of wars.  Be careful, but do not be troubled; for it is necessary that all these things happen, but it is not the end yet.  For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.  And there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes in different places.  All of these things are the beginning of sorrows.

“Then they will deliver you over to tribulation and they will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My Name.  Then many will stumble and will hate one another and will betray one another.  And many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.  And because of the abundance of iniquity, the love of many will grow cold.

“But whoever endures patiently to the end will have life.  And this Good News of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.    Matthew 24:4-14

 

“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, nor will ever be again.  And if those days had not been limited, none in the flesh would live; but because of the chosen, those days will be limited.    Matthew 24:21-22

 

Please understand this.  A critical part leading to the Great Tribulation is the bitter hatred against God’s people, which will once again lead to us being publically tortured and murdered, as it was up until two or three centuries ago.5  And why will we be hated and killed?  Because we tell them of their sins, warn them that their current path is causing the worsening conditions on earth, and will lead to them being cast into the Lake of Fire, and we call them to repentance.  Part of this, of course, is that they will not accept that it is their sins that are responsible for the increasingly destructive disasters and wars, but will instead claim that we are responsible for their problems, because we warned them they are coming.  That we are non-violent pacifists will do nothing to blunt their anger.

And despite their brutal treatment of the Children of God, Jeshua will still stop the wars that would have destroyed all life on earth, and offer new life to those that will accept it:

 

“And it will come to pass in all the land,” says Jehovah, “That two thirds in it will be cut off and expire, but one third will be left in it: I will bring the one third through the fire, will refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested.  They will call on My Name, and I will answer them.  I will say, ‘This is My people.’; and each one will say, ‘Jehovah is my God.’”

“Behold, the day of Jehovah is coming, and your spoil will be divided in your midst.  For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; the city will be taken, the houses robbed, and the women raped.  Half of the city will go into captivity, but the remnant of the people will not be cut off from the city.

Then Jehovah will go forth and fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle.  And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem towards sunrise.  And the Mount of Olives will split in two, from sunrise to the west, making a very large valley; half of the mountain will move toward the north and half of it toward the south.  Then you will flee through My mountain valley, for the mountain valley will reach to Azal.  Yes, you will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah.  Thus Jehovah my God will come, and all the sacred ones with You.

It will come to pass in that day that there will be no light; the lights will diminish.  It will be one day which is known to Jehovah; neither day nor night.  But at evening time it will happen that it will be light.

And in that day it will be that living waters will flow from Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and half of them toward the western sea; in both summer and winter it will occur.  And Jehovah will be King over all the earth.  In that day it will be; “Jehovah is One,” and His Name One.    Zechariah 13:8 to 14:9

 

Be warned!  Virtually all of the conditions necessary for these things to begin are now in place.  You can keep going as you are, but then you are choosing eternal death.  Or you can stop rebelling against Jehovah, seek His forgiveness, receive his Holy Spirit as a gift through His Son Jeshua, and start living a new and eternal life of righteousness.6
