END-TIME WARNING
TO PASTORS AND BELIEVERS

Scripture: Ezekiel 44:23...They shall teach My People the difference between the
holy and the profane and cause them to discern 'between the unclean and the
clean.
I Peter 2:9...But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
for God's own possession, so that you may declare the goodness of Him who has
called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.'
' Grace abounds but not at the expense of mixing the 'holy' and the 'profane'.'
Throughout the Bible, the Most High God has always purposed to have a 'Holy'
priesthood who could stand in the Presence and bring His glory to a lost world.
He performed mighty acts of deliverance on behalf of Israel to create a King of
priests and, thus, a Holy Nation. However, Israel fell short of 'neglecting'
YAHveh's Holy requirements. In order to fulfill the desires of His heart, YAHveh
sent His Son to redeem both Jews and Gentiles to become His 'eternal holy
priesthood'. The Lord is raising up a 'remnant', a Zadok priesthood that will be
distinctly unique from the ranks of professing believers. Zadok means 'Righteous'.
- I Kings 2:26-27.
This 'Holy Priesthood' must not mix what the Lord has purposely separated.
He is a 'Holy' God who calls His clergy and people to a separated life, free from
hidden sin and compromise. The Hebrew word for 'Holy' is 'Kadosh, which means
separated. Messiah reminds His redeemed that He has given...'The service of the
priesthood as a gift'...Numbers l8:7. This 'Holy' remnant has no inheritance in this
world. The Lord God, 'alone', is their double-portion and reward.
The Almighty proclaims through His messenger Malachi, "This message is to
you, O'priests (pastors)...'True instruction was in his mouth, and unrighteousness
was not found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and 'uprightness'; and he
turned many back from iniquity. For the lips of the priest/pastor should preserve
knowledge (the uncompromised, full counsel of truth) and men should seek true
instruction from his mouth, for he is to be the messenger of the Lord of Hosts.
Malachi 2:6-7.
Moreover, they shall teach My people the difference between the holy (holiness
of God) and the profane...Ezekiel 44:23. Definition of profane -Relating or devoted
to that which is not sacred or biblical, secular rather than religious...of a person or
their behavior not respectful of true religious practice...irreverant, blasphemous or
obscene language, adultrous...to treat something sacred with irreverence or
disrespect. But, grieviously, most have rebeled against God and have defied this
command and have sought their 'own way' and have profaned His Holy things.
They have hidden their profanities and sin. They have lost their way so they can
no longer distinguish between the 'Holy' and 'common sins' of this present age.
They speak and teach there is no difference and have compromised the truth.
They have words that they feel can 'justify' their sinful actions right in front of a
Holy God. (Grace-I can sin all the want!) Thus, they make doctrines and
traditions of men that Jesus spoke of in Mark 7:l3 NIV, 'Thus you nullify the word of
My Father by your 'actions', by your 'traditions' and 'man-made self'- justified
distortions of the truth, and in what the Lord truly desires in 'complete holiness'.

YAHweh continues saying to His servants - The biblical priesthood, "But as for
you, you have 'turned aside' from the way; you have caused many to stumble by
your instruction. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi (the priesthood),' says
the Lord of Hosts, 'So, I also have made you despised and abased before all the
people, just as you are not keeping My Ways, but you are showing partiality in the
instruction (picking and choosing) adding and deleting from the Lord's instruction
according to man's teachings and traditions to suit your own understanding often
times based on lack of knowledge of the scriptures and the very 'heart' of the
Author of its eternal words'. Malachi 2:8-9.
'Open rebellion' against the Lord's Word has led to the lip serving, hypocrisy of
many professing believers in the Most High God. Hypocrisy and unholiness in
Chrisitianity and Judaism have caused them to be 'despised' and 'abased' by
much of the world. For untold numbers, these corporate religious systems have
become 'a mockery', 'a laughingstock', rather than a 'Holy Priesthood' that is
turning many from 'sin' to 'righteousness'.
Ezekiel writes of the Almighty's Presence and glory 'departing' from His
sanctuary (and the hearts of the priests that had fallen into sin and became
rebellious unto God, self-serving, idolatrous, and adulterers toward the God they
professed to 'love' and 'serve'. In response to their grievious conditions of the
hypocritical priests and in their half-hearted service, the Lord sent an angelic
messenger to 'put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sighed and groaned
over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst...Ezekiel 9:4.
This small, obedient, righteous 'remnant' of 'true' believers were separated totally
unto YAHweh (the Lord) with a mark placed upon them to spare them from
judgment that was coming. But, the majority of those priests, pastors, and
professing believers who had rebeled against the Lord were slated as being the
recipient of His righteous indignation and destruction. This judgment started at His
sanctuary with the leaders but was to continue judging everyone else who was
disobedient, rebellious and idolatrous regard His Righteous Commandments and
His call for 'Holy' living.
Peter warned of similar judgments at the 'End of the Age'...I Peter 4:l7. 'For it is
time for judgment to begin with the household of God, and if it begins with us first,
what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of YAHweh?'

(Encouragement For The Remnant)

At the conclusion of the Scriptures in Revelation, we are forewarned of the
coming judgments upon the earth and its inhabitants and how few will survive
such a massive outpouring of the 'wrath of God'. But...there are many
encouraging words for a'Holy Remnant' that love the Lord with every part of their
being and obey His commandments and who have unfaltering faith in the Lamb of
God. Again, we read about the distinction of that remnant to be spared. 'And I
saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the
living God; and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was
granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea
or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on their heads...
(Rev. 7:2-3.
At the End of the Age, YAHweh is making a clear distinction between the wheat
and the tares; the holy and the profane, those who obey and truly follow Him and

serve Him and those who do not and follow only themselves and the world's
ways. He is separating the doctrines and religions of men from His own Scriptural
Requirements. He is creating a chasm between the compromised priesthood,
(lukewarm, hypocritical, lip-serving believers) and His 'separated, obedient,
redeemed remnant) those who walk in uprightness and serve as His 'royal'
priesthood to glorify and bring honor to their God in action, word, and deed. The
righteous judge will ultimately distinguish between those who are pure in heart,
spotless, and blameless, and those who have been defiled by that which has been
compromised, man tainted and detestable in His sight.
The Mighty One is coming to judge every transgressor of His righteous
commandments. His 'Holy Priesthood' will serve Him in 'purity'. But, the good
news is the blood is on the altar for the forgiveness of sins and cleansing of all
unrighteousness - to those who will only humble themselves, repent with their
whole heart, turn around from their sins, and are washed clean through Christ's
redeeming blood.
May these words both convict and restore, and lift you up to everlasting victory
over sin and into the realm of 'holiness' that He requires.
Closing Prayer: Father, from Your own Word, today, we as your church have
sinned against your plan and turned away from what you originally intended your
'Holy Priesthood' to be. We have examined ourselves and found ourselves
wanting. We come before you and humbly repent in sackcloth and ashes and ask
for your mercy and forgiveness. We ask to be cleansed and restored...all this
through our Lord Jesus Christ. We surrender now with our 'whole' hearts...not just
part of our hearts to follow you..no more hiding of secret sins and in the neglecting
of Your ways and towards others. Fill us afresh with Your Holy Presence/Your
Holy Spirit. Help us learn from the Word and in your teaching of the Zadok
priesthood and lead us into the narrow path of true righteousness. In Jesus
Name....Amen.
