Yeshua’s Response to the Las Vegas Shooting? Repent or Perish!

I don’t want to be so arrogant as to presume exactly what Yeshua would have said in response to the recent tragic Las Vegas shooting. No doubt his heart would have been broken. This we know. All humans were made in the image of the Creator and Yeshua died for everyone (John 3:16) and he loved us while we were yet sinners (Rom 5:8 and Eph 2:4–5).

However, the Gospel of Luke reveals that a similar events happened in Yeshua’s day where there was a huge loss of “innocent” life due to tragic circumstances that no one could have foreseen. When asked what he thought about it, Yeshua didn’t judge or condemn anyone. He simply had a pithy word to those who were still living—an important lesson for us all.

We read his response in Luke 13:1–5.

There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”

The point? Repent or perish! Everyone will die eventually one way or another. No one knows the  time or place of their death. Therefore, make the most of your life while you have it and especially repent of sin and turn to YHVH Elohim the Creator while you can.

So Yeshua’s message to America and to everyone is this: REPENT OR  PERISH!
