In this video, Nathan demolishes the false Christian theological concept that the Abrahamic and Sinaitic or Mosaic covenants and hence YHVH’s Torah-law have bee done away with in some or all aspects. The Bible is clear. What the mainstream church teaches in this regard not only could not be further from the the divinely revealed Truth of the Bible, but it blasphemously impugns the very holy character of YHVH Elohim, and those who believe such are walking in satanic deception whether they realize it or not. It is time for YHVH’s people to wake up spiritually and to exit the confusing hodgepodge and spiritual Babylon of men’s traditions that make of none effect the Word and Truth of Elohim! This is a tough, but enlightening and freeing message!

These days, anyone can go online for next to nothing and becoming a talking head, so-called Bible teacher. To get a large following, all you need is your smart phone, a laptop a nice looking backdrop, a glib tongue and some fancy editing software whether you know what you’re talking about or not. You may be a false teacher, a person of bad moral character, a shameless merchandiser and know little or nothing about the Bible, but this doesn’t stop people from preaching and teaching—and peddling their slickly packaged merchadise. So how do you know if you can trust the talking head blabbering from your screen or headphones? The Bible gives us some excellent guidelines on how to separate the wheat from the chaff in this dicey and landmine infested arena of information overload.

Satan was the first one to rebel against YHVH and his laws.His end game was to kick YHVH off his throne and to exalt himself to that place of authority and honor (note the five “I wills” of Isaiah 14:12–14).
How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations! For you have said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of El: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”
The rebellious ideas expressed by the devil as recorded in Isaiah are part and parcel with those spouted by modern secular humanists. There is nothing new under the sun. The devil has continued to repeat the same old lies in his efforts to seduce man to his side in rebellious defiance against YHVH Elohim.
Humanism Started in the Garden of Eden and Will End With the New World Order—Babylon the Great
Having seduced man in the Garden of Eden to rebel against the Creator, it was ultimately Satan’s aim for man to worship him instead of Elohim. Scripture recognizes this satanic notion when it calls Satan the “god of this world” (2 Cor 4:4).
As Satan successfully subverted the first Adam to follow him, in essence to worship him, likewise he attempted to seduce Yeshua, the Second Adam, to fall down and worship him (Matt 4:1–10).
Just prior to the second coming, Satan will attempt to rule this world as the Antimessiah with men worshipping him (Rev 13:2, 4, 12–13, 15).
Those who worship the devil will receive his mark on their foreheads and hands signifying that their thoughts and actions are in accord with the Lucifer or Satan (Rev. 13:14–16; 14:9). Similarly yet conversely, those who worship YHVH in Spirit and truth will have his “mark” in, not on their foreheads. They will, as his bond servants, be sealed with his name in their foreheads (Rev 7:3; 9:4 cp. Exod 13:9, 16; Deut 6:8; 11:18). Those who have YHVH’s “mark” or seal will be spared from many of the plagues of the Great Tribulation (Rev 7:34; 9:4 cp. Ezek 9:4, 6). Scripture indicates that this seal is his name (i.e., his character, reputations, power and authority) written in their hearts and minds (Rev 22:4).
What will cause people to take Satan’s mark on their foreheads? Will there be many who will literally run to get this mark since it will be popular to do so? For example, how popular were the recently published Harry Potter books? When a new one came out it was breaking news. Tens of millions were sold instantly with people waiting in line for hours to buy the books. What is the mark that the fictional teenage sorcerer Harry Potter wears on his forehead? It is a lightning bolt. Yeshua said that he saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven (Luke 10:18 cp. Rev 12:9). Is Harry Potter’s lightning bolt preparing people to literally run to take the mark of the beast because it will be the “in thing” to do?
Satan Founded the First Religion Called Humanism
Satan was the founder of the world’s first anti-Elohim religion. This religion was based on man pulling himself up by his own bootstraps, so to speak, without YHVH’s help (i.e., he was the creator of the first works and legalistic-based religious system). Humanism believes that man can save himself through his own efforts without outside help or intervention from a deity. All the false religious systems of the world have bought into and purvey this anti-biblical notion.
Satan’s religion gives humans what they want—it caters to the base sin nature of men. All the false religions of the world spring from Satan’s religion of humanism; all are works-based and give the flesh what it wants and gratify the mind and ego’s quest for “gnosis” without have to deal with man’s fallen nature and make recompense to Elohim for his sin
All the religions of the world, except that which is founded solely on the undiluted truth of the Bible, are based on rebellion to YHVH’s revealed truth and the need for man to be redeemed for the death penalty of sin by way of the cross of Yeshua the Messiah.
The Time Between the Garden of Eden and Babylon the Great
Satan is attempting to sway, deceive and seduce men to his side in his rebellion against Elohim (including, if possible, the very elect saints) through doctrines of demons. Scripture speaks of this: “Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron” (1 Tim 4:1–2).
Other Manifestations of Humanism In Scripture
Nimrod Was a Humanist
Nimrod was the first collectivist or communist in that he formed cities and founded the first empire. He was a mighty hunter “before” (in front of, in the face of or against) YHVH (Gen 10:9); he was the first savior of the world, the first to collectivize people into cities, the first emperor, the first tyrant. He was the first human to raise his fist in defiance against and in the face of Elohim when he built the Tower of Babel.
The Children of Israel Were Plagued With Humanists and Humanistic Influence
The golden calf incident (Exod 32) was an attempt to syncretize the worship of YHVH with a pagan religion of Egypt (Exod 32:5). This was an early interfaith movement on the part of Israelite humanists.
Nadab and Abihu, sons of Aaron the High Priest, offered up strange fire to YHVH and were struck dead for their rebelliousness (Lev 10:1–7). This was a case of man not following YHVH’s clear procedural instructions on how to offer incense and of Nadab and Abihu approaching YHVH by doing it “their way” and not his way. This is a classic humanistic characteristic: each man doing what is right in his own eyes.
The twelve Israelite spies’ evil report of the Promised Land (Num 13) is another example humanism. They had no faith in YHVH’s promises and Word. To them he was a liar. They preferred to stay where they were (in the wilderness of their present world) with the attitude of eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die, rather than having faith in future rewards for present obedience and faith.
Korah was a humanist who rebelled against YHVH’s divine order and authority as represented by Moses. He promoted revolution and the overthrow of legitimate government. Had Karl Marx been alive at the time, Korah would have made a good member of the Communist Party as he attempted to overthrow divinely mandated authority. In Numbers 16:1–3, we see that he separated himself from the rest of Israel to form his own opposing political party, and, in the spirit of democracy, community organizing and activism, he gathered like-minded malcontents to his side, rose up against Moses who was YHVH’s authority figure on earth, and accused Moses of wrong-doing. This was Satan’s pattern in the Eden—that is, to divide and conquer, form an opposition party, rebel against authority, and then subversively accuse the other side of what he was guilt of himself.
Balaam was a humanist and tried to seduce Israel to untie or syncretizing with the heathens through sexual liaisons (Rev 2:14).
Phineas opposed humanism (immorality and syncretism) when he killed Zimri and Cozbi (Num 25:1ff).
The tribes of Reuben and Gad fell under the sway of humanistic ideas when they sought their own well being at the rest of Israel’s expense, sought materialism ahead of obedience to YHVH to go into the Promised Land, and when they stopped short of the Promised Land to enjoy “a humanist heaven” on the wrong side of the Jordan River (Num 32). Humanists do not want to go all the way in obeying YHVH. This is falling under the influence of the “big lie.” You can have it your way with one foot in the world and one foot in the kingdom of heaven.
Every time the Israelites murmured against YHVH, they demonstrated a lack of faith by not believing his Word or promises. This was a spirit of humanism. In essence, they viewed YHVH as a liar and trusted in themselves rather than in his word and promises. Whenever they rebelled against YHVH or Moses they were acting as humanists. Idolatry, lust, ungratefulness, dishonor of parents are all aspects of secular humanism.
When the Israelites turned from obedience to Torah to following the religious practices of the nations around them Scripture says that “every man did that which was right in his own eyes (Deut 12:8; Judg 17:6; 21:25). This is the same old humanist mantra of if it feels good, do it, or do what thou wilt.
King Saul become a humanist when he refused to obey YHVH’s instructions. The end result of rejection of divine authority was his turning to witchcraft (1 Sam 15:23).
In part 3 of this video series on secular humanism, we trace the rise of this religious, satanic philosophy through the Bible and how it has even infected mainstream Christianity in the post-apostolic era as well as modern rabbinic Judaism. But we don’t stop there merely identifying the problem. No! Now that we have taken two previous videos to identify the problem including secular humanism’s source and origin and modern manifestations, we know reveal the solution to stopping this satanic, unbiblical religious philosophy and what YOU can do about it in YOUR own life. This is critical intel to have in order to be a wise and effective foot soldier in Yeshua’s end time spiritual army that is preparing the way for his second coming!
This is a symbolic of the spiritual life of too many Christians!
There’s an enemy lurking about seeking to destroy the true disciples of Yeshua the Messiah. It is sneaky and can overtake any follower of Yeshua unawares. Who and what is this insidious prowler seeking to steal from us our passion for Yeshua and maybe even our salvation? This vicious enemy is weariness, complacency, and apathy and is perhaps our greatest spiritual foe.
Make no mistake. This ravenously rabid foe can weaken and even destroy the most stalwart individual and even take down a whole nation. The Bible from one end to the other is full of such examples. Weariness and complacency can weaken even the staunchest Christian, so that they become sitting targets and victims of the world, flesh and the devil. Be warned! This evil enemy has taken out many people and you are in its cross hairs! Being aware of this is the first step in overcoming this vicious foe.
Weariness and spiritual lukewarmness is a slow and subtle process of enemy attrition, a slippery slope involving spiritual declension resulting in the enemy’s victory. Even Christians who are active in spiritual works and ministry, can fall prey to this enemy. This is because religious activity devoid of heart, love, passion and the Spirit of Elohim can still leave us empty and unfulfilled—like a hollow spiritual shell. Europe and America, for example, are full of beautiful old churches and cathedrals and Christian denominations that are cold, empty and devoid of spiritual life. This is because the people that once filled these churches long ago lost their passion for Jesus Christ and the Bible. These empty churches are now silent monuments testifying to the spirit of weariness and lukewarmness and of people who have fallen victim to the subtle and surreptitious spirit of lukewarmness.
Let me give an example of what I mean by asking you, the reader, a simple question. Any one of us may have fallen into the snares of weariness, apathy and complacency without even knowing it. How do we know this? If the answer to the following question is yes, then you may be a victim who needs to take a serious look at the state of your spiritual life. The question is this: How would your life change TODAY if you knew Yeshua were coming back tomorrow?If you are not doing what you know that you should be doing, then your are likely a victim of complacency and lukewarmness more than you think. This should be a wake up call to get ready, for Yeshua could return at any moment. Beyond that, none of us knows when our last breath or heart will be, and our next waking moment will be in the presence of Yeshua our King, who will judge and reward each of us according to our works contrary to what many churches have erroneously and sadly taught their hapless members (Rev 20:12; 2:23; 19:8; Matt 5:19; 16:27; Rom 2:6; 2 Cor 5:10; 1 Pet 1:17; Eph 6:18).
Let me give you another illustration to punctuate my point. Most of us exert great effort to prepare our homes when we know that company is coming to visit us. We clean the house, tidy up the clutter, buy special food, prepare the guest accommodations, and mow the grass. Why don’t we attach the same priority of effort to our spiritual homes with regard to Yeshua coming back to this earth for his people? He could come at anytime. Let me explain. First, we don’t know when Yeshua is coming back. Second, again, none of us knows when we are going to die. Either way, you could be standing face-to-face with Yeshua in an instant!
Here is another hopefully thought provoking question. Why do we often put a higher priority on our physical well-being and appearance than on are spiritual well-being and on how we appear to Yeshua our Messiah and soon-coming Bridegroom? Many of us spend hours in the bathroom focusing on embellishing our appearance, or hours in the gym working out keeping ourselves fit physically. Yet when it comes to our spiritual appearance and fitness, we might spend fifteen minutes a day if that! This is because most of us are spiritually lukewarm to one degree or another. This is largely because many of us—especially in the West— live in a rich, soft, affluent, materialistic, self-absorbed, comfort-driven and pleasure-seeking society. We live in a world full of distractions—often alluring ones—and things that are constantly demanding our attention. Moreover, we’ve never had to live without, suffered physical lack or been persecuted for our beliefs. Because we have been conditioned to this status quo of affluent abundance for so long, we tend to think that the status quo of our comfortable lives will never end. The problem is that a study of history and the Bible tell us that such periods of peace and prosperity are usually the exception and not the rule, and all such periods are usually short-lived. They come to an end and give way to regime changes often involving much suffering and privation.
Now let’s get back to the main question. Do we really live as if today may be our last day of life, and tomorrow would be our judgment day before King Yeshua, where we will have to answer for every idle word we have ever spoken, and will be judged for all that we’ve done or not done in service and obedience to him? Will Yeshua view us as a good steward of the time, talent and treasure he has given us or a foolish steward for wasting our time on stuff, in the long run, that has no spiritual value? These are serious questions that deserve, no require some deep and honest soul searching.
Here is another soul-searching question. Why do so many of us have so little passion for Yeshua, and so little sense of urgency about living for him knowing that we could meet him in person at any moment? It’s because apathy, complacency and weariness have overtaken us. None of us are immune to this spiritual disease, which has too often been the norm rather than the exception a among believers down through the ages.
In this video, Nathan shares insights about the timing of second exodus, who will be raptured (that is, resurrected at the last trumpet to meet Yeshua in the air), what happens to the saints after the first resurrection or rapture, the timing of the second coming, who will be the bride of Yeshua, and how this all relates to the defeat of Antichrist and Babylon the Great and marriage of the Yeshua. Buckle your seat belts and hang on tightly. This is a fast moving aerial view of many end time Bible prophecies!
