And ELOHIYM said: "Let there be light" and there was light ... Genesis 1 vs 3
Amongst the body of MASHIACH, the church, can be found those that profess to be believers who have attained some significant status within the church but from their fruit it is clearly evident that they are not of MASHIACH at all. They are "pastors" who only exist to fleece their flock while leading their flock astray with false doctrines. Apostle Peter spoke of this here:
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not.
... KEPHA SHENIY (2 PETER) 2:3 את CEPHER
This will also be addressed further in the scriptures by Jude also. Read on ...
There is an old Lakota Native American tribe adage (part of the Great Sioux Nation) that says 'Water is life' and in the Scriptures, MASHIACH referred to 'Living Water' in John 4 to the woman at the well and John 7 to His Disciples.
This reference to Living Water is actually a reference to RUACH Ha'QODESH (The HOLY SPIRIT).
Now going back to the old Lakota tribe adage, mentioned above, if Water is Life then it would also mean ... where water dries up, life ceases to exist ... eventually.
Water is responsible for rain. That is nothing new to anyone reading this. Scarcity of water causes a lack of rain clouds and rainfall ... an unfortunate, perhaps inevitable, pathway to the onset of a drought. The painful and terrible effects of a drought can be truly devastating to the way of life of all living things. Famine, disease, sickness even death and decay. All these follow the dark dreadful shadow of drought. Farmers, in times of drought, lose their crops, herds, financial sustenance and societal relevance when they are unable to provide for family nor trade in the marketplace financially or even contribute their agricultural quota to the sustainability of society through provision of their crops or herds which are used for food.
Some fishermen may, also, be affected by extreme drought where certain bodies of water dry up and the fish die or migrate elsewhere. For some marine life, their numbers dwindle and wane excessively. Fishermen, too, may experience the same challenges of the farmers in times of drought.
Even certain industries, that depend on water to be viable, are affected by water shortages as well.
The scriptures refer to a certain type of people as "Clouds without Water" as seen in this verse below:
These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; ... Jude vs 12
Water from the clouds in the sky (rain) above are even useful in certain situations that can be as small as the falling rain helping to reduce the amount of pollen in the air which, in turn, helps to alleviate allergy symptoms for those that suffer pollen allergies. So also would mist and dew be useful as well.
So, in essence, where clouds form but no rain eventually falls ... that is a problem.
Like the fig tree, in the Matthew 21 and Mark 11 Gospels, that MASHIACH approached but found no fruit, these clouds are pretentious, presenting a false narrative yet being seen as what they truly are not.
In fact the fig tree, though it was cursed by MASHIACH and withered off the next day, was actually much better than these referenced here, by Jude, as 'Clouds without Water' due to the fact that
1st ... the fig tree actually was a fig tree (for whatever reason it failed to produce fruit)
2nd ... the tree, though cursed, was only a tree with not actual or deliberate intent on being deceitful, but these men mentioned here are going to suffer a fate far worse than the curse that the tree received from MASHIACH. Because unless they repent of these evil and wicked ways, in death, their souls will suffer eternal damnation.
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
... 2 Timothy 3:1 vs 7
If you truly read the word of ABBA YAHAWAH, the Bible, and allow RUACH Ha'QODESH (The HOLY SPIRIT) speak to your heart to reveal ABBA's truth to you as John 16 points out ... then you will not be cajoled or swayed, by desperate 'pastors' or 'ministers' or 'prophets' or 'apostles' and the like, who try daily to coerce you into doing that eventually only benefits them.
Be vigilant!! Guard your heart!! Steer clear and stay away from all men such as those that are described in Titus 1 vs 10 - 16 my brothers and sisters b'MASHIACH (In Christ).
Also ... Remember Jeremiah 23 vs 16 ... If you can't recall what is said there, look it up!!
Shalom!
