    Bible Study Lessons (part #6)

    1. Bury The Past And Start All Over AgainGo to Part #6 Lessons Index Go To Quiz (offline/online)

    The King James Version (KJV) is mostly used in these lessons.Click hereto access the KJV online.

    Baptism represents two outstanding events: first, Yahushua's death, burial, and resurrection; secondly, a

    death to sin, a burial of the old nature, and a spiritual resurrection on the part of those accepting Yahushua.

    In this lesson we will learn the meaning and importance of baptism, as well as the way Yahushuashowed it

    should be administered.

    Baptized Into Yahushua

    1. When was the ordinance of baptism instituted?

    It began with John the Baptist and Yahushua.

    2. What personal example did Yahushua set in respect of baptism?

    Then comes Yahushua from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. Matthew 3:13.

    Answer: He was baptized by John the Baptist (in river Jordan) not because He had sinned, but as an example

    to us, and to fulfil all righteousness (Matthew 3:15). Heaven was pleased, for we read, Lo a voice from heaven,

    saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased (Matthew 3: 17). He commanded His disciples to

    baptize converts among all nations.

    NOTE: The true Christian will obey the command of Yahushua that brings him into such a close relationship

    with Yahuwah. The baptized believer is actually adopted into the royal family of Yahuwah and takes the roya

    name of "Christian," a follower of Yahushua, the Christ("the Anointed").

    3. Of what is baptism a symbol?

    It is a symbol of the death, burial, and resurrection of Yahushua for our redemption. See Romans 6:3-8.

    NOTE: Just as Yahushua died for the sins of the world, was buried in the tomb, and was resurrected again, so

    the sinner must die a spiritual death to sin; his old life must be symbolically buried in the waters of baptism,

    and then he must be raised from the watery grave to live a new life in the Anointed, Yahushua.

    4. What does Paul say should be done to the old life of sin?

    Our old man is crucified with him. Romans 6:6. That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old

    man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts. Ephesians 4:22. Put off the old man with his deeds.

    Colossians 3:9.

    5. After the old man of sin is crucified and put off, what else should be done with him?

    Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death .... That the body of sin might be destroyed. Romans

    6:4, 6. See Colossians 2:12.

    6. What is represented by the candidate's being raised from the watery grave at baptism?

    A resurrection; a rebirth; the beginning of a new life.

    For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his

    resurrection. Romans 6:5. After baptism Christians are to walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:4).

    Prerequisites

    7. Is baptism necessary?

    Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yahushua, the Anointed,for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38.

    8. In refusing the baptism of John, what did the Pharisees and lawyers reject?

    And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified Yahuwah, being baptized with the baptism of

    John. But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of Yahuwah against themselves, being not baptized

    of him. Luke 7:29, 30.

    What should precede baptism?

    A. The candidate should be carefully taught.

    Teach all nations, baptizing them. . . teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you

    Matthew 28:19-20.

    The candidate should be taught all things that Yahushua commanded. This is really much more necessary

    today than in the apostles' time, for the following reasons:

    There was a definite risk and sacrifice even in professing Christianity in the days of the apostles. Baptism

    tended to eliminate a mere nominal profession of His name. People do not relish scorn, reproach, division in

    the family or martyrdom just to take up a new religion. But, today, it is a matter of honor to be counted a

    church member. So every candidate for baptism should understand fully what it means to become a follower

    of Yahushua.

    In those days, Yahushua, the Anointed, Himself was the issue. No one thought of any Sabbath but the Bible

    Sabbath. So that was not an issue. But today it is. Today, the teachings of Yahushua, as well as Yahushua

    Himself, is the issue. What will the candidate do? Accept Yahushua and reject His teachings? This is impossible

    To receive Yahushua as Master and Saviour means to accept all things whatsoever He commanded.

  • 7/29/2019 Bible Study Lessons - Part 6

    4/53

    One may join a church that preaches Yahushua and yet deny almost every fundamental doctrine of Bible

    religion. We have, in the churches today, everything from fanaticism and playing with rattlesnakes, on the one

    hand, to ethereal ideas that there is no sin or death, but only Yahuwah and life and good. Millions seek some

    mystic higher plane while evading the eternal teaching of the Word of Yahuwah and avoiding the everlasting

    truths that sin is the transgression of the law of Yahuwah. That the wages of sin is death, and that Yahushua is

    the only Saviour from the transgression of the law. It is therefore clearly essential that candidates for baptism

    be thoroughly taught all things that Yahushua commanded; else the profession of Yahushua may mean fataldelusion and dangerous heresy.

    B. He must believe.

    He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. Mark 16:16.

    After being taught, the candidate should, in his heart, believe in Yahushua as Master, as a personal Saviour,

    and in His teaching. It is not enough to say, I believe in Yahushua. Today that may mean almost anything. He

    should believe His Word and teachings as recorded in the Bible; and, by faith, follow his Saviour.

    C. He must repent of his sins.

    Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yahushua, the Anointed, for

    the remission of sins. Acts 2:38. For sorrow in accordance with the will of Yahuwah worketh repentance to

    salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 2 Corinthians 7:10.

    To repent means to turn away from sin. It means to turn to Yahuwah and righteousness. Man, of his own free

    will and choice, must make the decision to turn to Yahuwah and away from sin and error.

    A vital element of true repentance is sorrow, which worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of(2

    Corinthians 7:9-10). This repentance Yahuwah will give us if we are willing to turn away from every sin (Acts5:31; Romans 2:4). Yahuwah's love melts the heart, and the Spirit of Yahuwah makes us truly sorry for sin

    when we behold the precious Saviour dying for the sins we have committed.

    D. He must be willing to die to sin (Romans 6:3, 11-13).

    As Yahushua died for sin, man must die to sin. He will choose to lose a hand, a foot, an eye, before he wills to

    use them to do evil (Mark9:4347). His hands will not hold ill-gotten gain or lift to his lips the red and stirring

    wine that bringeth forth babbling and woe. Nor will he stain his fingers or foul his breath with the poisons of

    tobacco. His feet will not cross the forbidden places of the world's alluring and sinful pleasures. He will not

    yield his members as instruments of unrighteousness.

    E. He must be ready to live for Yahuwah (Romans 6:11,13).

    And Yahushua will dwell in him by His Holy Spirit. When Satan knocks at his heart door, he will find the old

    man gone - dead. A little girl put it this way: When Satan comes to my heart's door and calls for me, I tell him

    that Yahushua lives here, and then Satan goes away. When Yahuwah calls, we yield our members as

    instruments of righteousness unto Yahuwah. With Isaiah we say. Here am I; send me (Isaiah 6:8). Such are

  • 7/29/2019 Bible Study Lessons - Part 6

    5/53

    born againmen and women. Candidates for baptism should learn, believe, repent, die to sin, and surrender to

    Yahuwah; therefore, infant baptism is not Biblical. We may dedicate our children to Yahuwah, but infant

    baptism is without meaning in the light of these facts. There is no example for it in the New Testament!

    The Bible Way

    9. What is the only mode of baptism recognized in the Bible?

    Answer: Immersion. The Greek root word baptizo means to dip, to plunge, to immerse .. to cover with fluid,

    etc., as material is dipped into a vat of dye, as the blacksmith plunges hot metal into a tank of water. The

    meaning is definitely not sprinkle or pour.

    What is the only form of baptism that properly represents Yahushua's burial and resurrection, sprinkling or

    immersion?

    Answer: Baptism by water is Yahuwah's plan. This is made clear by Yahushua's words to Nicodemus:

    Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the

    kingdom of Yahuwah. John3:5. John baptized at Aenon, because there was much water there (John 3:23).

    Buried with him in baptism Colossians 2:12.

    Burial beneath the water, entirely hidden from the world, the eyes closed and breath held, just as in a real

    burial, then raised again from the water, opening the eyes, catching the breath, and again associating with

    loved ones, just as in an actual resurrection.

    10. Is the method of baptism important?

    Answer: Yes, because the method is designed to illustrate the meaning and purpose of baptism. Said Paul:

    "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Yahushua, the Anointed, were baptized into His

    death? Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as the Anointed was raised up from

    the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been

    planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection: Knowing this,

    that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not

    serve sin." Romans 6:3-6

    Notice these four points:

    A. Baptism commemorates Yahushua's death, burial, and resurrection.

    B. It symbolizes the death and burial of the old man of sin.

    C. It represents resurrection to newness of life in the Anointed, Yahushua.

    6/53

    D. It indicates the washing away of sin (Acts 22:16).

    Since baptism commemorates the death, burial, and resurrection of the Anointed One, and Yahushua died and

    rose but once, those who immerse the individual three times instead of once miss the important point of

    Yahushua's sacrifice once for all (1 Peter 3:18).

    Those who baptize the candidate face down, depart from the regular mode of burial. The old man of sin mustdie and be buried, and the new man (Ephesians 4:22, 24) be brought forth to walk in newness of life (Romans

    6:4).

    This is symbolized by the candidate's closing his eyes, holding his breath, being buried under the water, being

    raised up, opening his eyes and breathing again, then walking out of the watery grave. Sprinkling or pouring

    simply cannot symbolize this spiritual work of grace in the Christian. Baptism is first and foremost an outward

    symbol of the change made by Yahuwah's grace in the sinner's heart.

    11. Does baptism take place in the water?

    And Yahushua, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water. Matthew 3:16.

    12. Do the candidate and the administrator both go into the water?

    And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the

    eunuch; and he baptized him. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of Yahuwah caught

    away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no ,more: and he went on his way rejoicing. Acts 8:38, 39.

    Answer: Philip and the eunuch went into the water, and came out (Acts 8:36-39). Philip baptized in the same

    manner as John the Baptist. He and his candidate went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch;

    and he baptized him. They then came up out of the water.

    Here we have but one candidate. He could have been sprinkled with a few drops of water or a cup of water

    might have been poured over his head, but this would not have been baptism according to Yahushua's

    example and commandment; hence Philip immersed the eunuch in a pool of water by the side of the road.

    13. Why did John sometimes baptize in a place called Aenon?

    And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they carne, and

    were baptized. John 3:23.

    Answer: The water in the Jordan at certain seasons of the year was low, and baptism by immersion would

    have been difficult. So at such times John went to Aenon.

    14. How did the people of Samaria publicly testify to their faith in the preaching of Philip?

    But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of Yahuwah, and the name of

    Yahushua, the Anointed, they were baptized, both men and women. Acts 8: 12.

    15. What should every newly converted individual do?

    Arise and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Anointed. Acts 22:16.

    Answer: They should make the decision at once to be baptized and then start fellowship with others every

    Sabbath.

    16. In connection with Christian baptism, what is washed away?

    And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the

    Anointed. Acts 22:16. (See Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 3:21.)

    Answer: Sins are washed away.

    17. By what means are sins washed away?

    Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood. Revelation 1:5.

    Answer: By the blood of Yahushua, the Anointed.

    18.Into whose name are believers to be baptized?*

    Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name ofYahushua the Anointed

    for the remission of sins Acts 2:38.

    Answer: According to both the Bible and history, the New Testament church invoked the name of Yahushua at

    water baptism. Its baptismal formula was in the name of Yahushua, the Anointed, or Master Yahushua, not in

    the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

    * PLEASE SEE APPENDIX AT THE END OF THIS LESSON BELOW.

    19. Since all denominational churches have fallen in doctrines such as in Trinitarian Baptismal formula,

    what is the door to Yahushuas home church?

    Answer: We are baptized into Yahushua, the Anointed (Romans 6:3). The church members are called the

    members of Yahushua's body, and we are baptized into this body of Yahushua on earth. Yahushua calls

    Himself the door, but we are baptized into Him. Thus baptism is an entrance. Notice three points:

    A. Yahushua is the head of the true Christian body (Ephesians 4:15-16).

    B. We become members of Yahushua's body, the church, at baptism (1 Corinthians 12:20-27).

    C. We are baptized into one body (1 Corinthians 12:13).

    20. Some ask about being baptized more than once?

    And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to

    Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?

    And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto

    them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily

    baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which

    should come after him, that is, on the Anointed, Yahushua. When they heard this, they were baptized in the

    name of the Master Yahushua. Acts 19:1-5.

    Answer: In the above scriptures is the record of believers who were baptized twice. Important new truth had

    come to them, and they acted upon it and were re-baptized.

    NOTE: There is still another lesson for us in the experience of those Jewish converts. When they received

    baptism at the hand of John they did not fully comprehend the mission of Yahushua as the Sin Bearer. They

    were holding serious errors. But with clearer light, they gladly accepted Yahushua as their Redeemer, and with

    this step of advance came a change in their obligations. As they received a purer faith, there was a

    corresponding change in their life. In token of this change, and as an acknowledgment of their faith in

    Yahushua, they were rebaptized in His Name.

    21. Some ask whether baptism of the Spirit is not sufficient?

    While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the

    circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also

    was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify Yahuwah.

    Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the

    Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Master. Acts 10:44-48

    Answer: Here Peter commanded these sincere believers to be baptized in the name of the Master. They had

    already been baptized with the Holy Ghost.

    A Marriage Ceremony

    22. When believers are baptized into Yahushua, whom do they put on?

    For as many of you as have been baptized into the Anointed have put on the Anointed. Galatians 3:27.

    Answer: Our Master and Saviour, Yahushua, the Anointed.

    23. How perfect is the unity into which believers are brought by being baptized into Yahushua?

    For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one

    body: so also is the Anointed. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or

    Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:12, 13.

    24. After being united with Yahushua in the likeness of His death and resurrection, what should the believer

    do?

    9/53

    If ye then be risen with the Anointed, seek these things which are above, where the Anointed sitteth on the

    right hand of Yahuwah. Colossians 3:1.

    NOTE: The decision to be baptized is a serious one. If you have not yet taken this step publicly and in the

    biblical way, we urge you to give it prayerful consideration. Since you have gone through this series of lessons

    you have enough knowledge to decide in favor of this most beautiful ceremony. If you have a desire to unite

    with a people who believe what you have been learning, please let us know and we will assist you in every waypossible. May Yahuwah richly bless you as you consider this important step.

    Appendix: The Baptismal Formula in Scripture and History

    The Scriptural Record

    Every time the Bible records the name or formula associated with an actual baptism in the New Testament

    church, it describes the name, Yahushua. All five such accounts occur in the Book of Acts, the history book of

    the early church. It records that the following people were baptized in Yahushua's name

    The Jews, Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yahushua, the

    Anointed, for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38).

    The Samaritans. They were baptized in the name of the Master Yahushua (Acts 8:16). The Gentiles. And he

    commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Master (Acts 10:48). (The earliest Greek manuscripts that

    we have say, In the name of Yahushua, the Anointed, as do most versions today.) The disciples of John (re-

    baptized). They were baptized in the name of the Master Yahushua (Acts 19:5). The Apostle Paul. Arise, and be

    baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Anointed (Acts 22:16). Moreover, the Epistles

    contain a number of references or allusions to baptism in Yahushua's name. See Romans 6:3-4; I Corinthians

    1:13; 6:11; Galatians 3:27 ; Colossians 2:12; James 2:7

    The only verse of Scripture that anyone could appeal to in support of a threefold baptismal formula is

    Matthew 28: 19, in which Yahushua commanded baptism in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of

    the Holy Ghost. However, there is a very strong case which suggests that these words of Matthew 28:19 were

    not penned down by Matthew, but that there were added by Rome, many centuries later. For further study on

    the origin of this verse, we recommend that you viewthe following short video.

    2. The Rapture And A Thousand Years Of PeaceGo to Part #6 Lessons Index Go To Quiz (offline/online)

    The King James Version (KJV) is mostly used in these lessons.Click hereto access the KJV online.

    At thesecond coming of Yahushua, mighty changes will take place upon the earth, it will be destroyed and a

    place of total darkness. Satan will be bound in this desolate earth that the Scripture describes as "the

    bottomless pit." He will be held prisoner here for a thousand years.

    The Bible does not teach that the millennium will be a thousand years of peace and prosperity here upon

    earth. This is Satan's deception.

    There are currently five unBibilical teachings circulating about the millennium:

    A. That Yahushua will not come the second time until the end of the millennium. This is post-millennialism

    Those who believe this put Yahushua's coming at least one thousand years in the future. Satan is pleased thusto remove the thought and event far, far away.

    B. That the millennium will be preceded by a secret coming of Yahushua. AlthoughYahushuadid everything

    He could to make it clear that His coming would be open and public before saints and sinners (see Revelation

    1:7; Acts 1:9-11).

    C. That the millennium is to be preceded by a seven-year reign of Antichrist. A great host of people today, with

    all the glorious light of prophecy shining upon world history, do not see the real Antichrist and are looking for

    one to appear after Yahushua has come. This false theory came as a part of the Counter-Reformation, and was

    introduced to offset the mighty work of such men as Luther, Calvin, Knox, Wesley, and all the other greatReformers.

    D. The misconception that the gospel will still be preached during the millennium, after the second coming of

    Yahushua.

    E. That Yahushua has already come; and the dead will be raised from time to time during the millennium and

    given a second chance to accept the gospel while the devil is chained up.

    If we believe any of the above five deceptions, we are more likely to procrastinate and lose our salvation

    because of the belief that Yahushua will not be here for at least one thousand years; so you can get ready

    after the secret coming of Yahushua.

    Let's study what the Bible teaches about the Millennium.

    The Beginning Of The Millennium

    1. When Yahushua comes the second time, what will happen to the cities of earth?

    "And the cities of the nations fell." Revelation 16:19.

    "I beheld, and, lo , the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the

    presence of Yahuwah, and by his fierce anger. For thus hath Yahuwah said, The whole land shall be desolate;

    yet will I not make a full end." Jeremiah 4:26, 27.

    Answer: The whole earth will become desolate from the devastating earthquake and hailstorm.

    2. To what condition will the earth be reduced?

    "Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my

    curtains in a moment. I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form and void; and the heavens, and they had

    no light." Jeremiah 4:20, 23.

    Answer: Total destruction andthe earth will be depopulated.

    3.What five events mark the beginning of the Millennium?

    A. Second coming of Yahushua.

    "For this we say unto you by the word of the Master, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of

    the Master shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Master Himself shall descend from heaven with a

    shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Yahuwah; and the dead in the Anointed shall rise

    first." 1 Thessalonians 4:15-16.

    Yahushua's advent is preceded by theseven last plagues- most fearful scourges to strike mankind in the long

    history of our race. Thewar of Armageddonis the sixth of these plagues.

    B. Righteous dead resurrected (the first resurrection).

    "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but

    they shall be priests of Yahuwah and of the Anointed, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. Revelation

    20:6.

    "The dead in the Anointed shall rise first, 1 Thessalonians 4:16.

    This is the "resurrection of life" to which Yahushua referred (John 5:29). Only the "blessed and holy" come

    forth to life eternal inthis first resurrection.

    C. Wicked living slain.

    "The Master Yahushua shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance

    on them that know not Yahuwah, and that obey not the gospel of our Master Yahushua, the Anointed." 2

    Thessalonians 1:7-8. (See 2 Thessalonians 2:8; Jeremiah 25:31-33.)

    15/53

    The angry nations at war with one another receive of the wrath of Yahuwah as Yahushua, the "King of kings

    and Master of master," comes to "destroy them which destroy the earth" (Revelation 11:18). As Sovereign

    Master of the world, Yahushua uses His arsenal of weapons, which are much more potent than any

    thermonuclear devices and atomic bombs that are likely to be used in the war of Armageddon.

    "The heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also

    and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 2 Peter 3:10. The spirits of devils inspire the Armageddonconflict. Satan rejoices in war and in the death of Yahuwah's creatures. All nations from east, west, south, and

    north plunge into the terrible slaughter. Then Yahuwah arises to punish the transgressors of His law of love.

    "Yahuwah shall roar from on high, and utter His voice from his Holy habitation. . .For Yahuwah hath a

    controversy with the nations. . . Evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised

    up from the coasts of the earth." Jeremiah 25:30-32. "The kings of the earth and of the whole world"

    (Revelation 16:14) are destroyed as Yahushua, the great warrior of heaven, rides forth to put down the forces

    of rebellion (Revelation 19:11-16). All the wicked die and the earth is depopulated.

    D.All the righteous taken to heaven.

    "The dead in the Anointed shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with

    them in the clouds, to meet the Master in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Master." 1 Thessalonians

    4:16-17. (See John 14:1-3).

    The resurrected saints and the living righteous are taken out of this world to heaven. Please remember that

    the hour is coming when mercy's voice will be hushed (Revelation22:11). Then the seven last plagues will be

    poured out upon an unrepentant world. Armageddon, coming during the sixth plague, follows after man's

    probation has closed. Those who wait for the time of that battle to get ready for heaven will be disappointed;

    it will be too late then.

    E. Satan is bound.

    "And He laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand

    years, and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive

    the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little

    season. Revelation 20:2-3.

    Yahushua said that He would return and take His people to the mansions He went to prepare. That settles it

    for you, doesn't it? He will take all the righteous to heaven. The wicked living will perish. The wicked dead who

    are already in their graves will remain there. Satan will be left alone in the ruined earth, his work of deception

    ended for 1,000 years. Satan is sentenced to a one-thousand-year term of imprisonment in this world-the very

    pit of destruction. He is truly bound, "that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years

    should be fulfilled."

    4. After the righteous are taken to heaven by Yahushua at His coming, how many persons will be left living

    on the earth?

  • 7/29/2019 Bible Study Lessons - Part 6

    16/53

    "I beheld, and, lo there was no man." Jeremiah 4:25.

    Answer: The living wicked will be slain by the very presence of Yahushua at the second coming. When an ange

    appeared at Yahushua's tomb, the entire group of Roman guards fell as dead men (Matthew 28:2, 4). When

    the brightness of all the angels, our loving Father Yahweh, and His Son combine, the wicked will die as if hit by

    lightning. Bear in mind that the wicked already dead when Yahushua returns, will still remain in their graves

    until the end of the 1,000 years. " For our Eloah is a consuming fire." Hebrews 12:29.

    5. What has happened to the wicked?

    "And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Master shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and

    shall destroy with the brightness of his coming." 2 Thessalonians 2:8.

    "And the slain of Yahuwah shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth

    they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground." Jeremiah 25:

    33.

    Answer: The wicked will be utterly overwhelmed by the awful splendor of His coming and will all fall dead to

    the ground (see 2 Thessalonians 2:8). Unnumbered millions of dead of all nations will be scattered over the

    earth. There will be no one to lament them or bury them. Wherever they fall, they must remain until the

    second resurrection.

    6. What will happen to Satan at Yahushua's coming?

    "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his

    hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a

    thousand years." Revelation 20:1, 2.

    NOTE: "Here is to be the home of Satan with his evil angels for a thousand years. Limited to the earth, he will

    not have access to other worlds to tempt and annoy those who have never fallen. It is in this sense that he is

    bound: there are none remaining, upon whom he can exercise his power. He is wholly cut off from the work of

    deception and ruin which for so many centuries has been his sole delight. . . For six thousand years, Satan's

    work of rebellion has 'made the earth to tremble.' He had 'made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the

    cities thereof.' And he 'opened not the house of his prisoners.' For six thousand years his prison house has

    received [Yahuwah's] people, and he would have held them captive forever; but [Yahushua] had broken his

    bonds and set the prisoners free.

    "Even the wicked are now placed beyond the power of Satan, and alone with his evil angels he remains to

    realize the effect of the curse which sin has brought. 'The kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory,

    everyone in his own house [the grave]. But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch. . . . Thou

    shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people.' Isaiah

    14:18-20." The Great Controversy, page 659, 660.

    7. After Satan is bound, where will he be cast?

  • 7/29/2019 Bible Study Lessons - Part 6

    17/53

    "And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the

    nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled." Revelation 20:3.

    Answer: The bottomless pit here referred to is the earth after it has been broken down, made waste and void,

    and when the sun no longer shines upon it, as described above. It will become a desolate dungeon, and in this

    abyss Satan and his angels will be confined for one thousand years. He can "deceive the nations no more,"

    because the righteous are in heaven examining the records, and the wicked are dead upon the earth. Thus, heis bound and he cannot even leave the earth to go to other worlds in the universe to try to annoy and deceive

    them into sin.

    NOTE:For a thousand years, Satan will wander to and fro in the desolate earth to behold the results of his

    rebellion against the law of [Yahuwah]. During this time his sufferings are intense. Since his fall his life of

    unceasing activity has banished reflection; but he is now deprived of his power and left to contemplate the

    part which he has acted since first he rebelled against the government of heaven, and to look forward with

    trembling and terror to the dreadful future when he must suffer for all the evil that he has done and be

    punished for the sins that he has caused to be committed.The Great Controversy, page 660.

    8. What are the four pieces of evidence that mark the 1,000-year period?

    A. The earth is desolate-a bottomless pit.

    "I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the

    mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all

    the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities

    thereof were broken down at the presence of Yahuwah, and by His fierce anger. For thus hath Yahuwah said

    The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end." Jeremiah 4:23-27.

    The desolation of the earth is brought on by a series of tragic events: (1) the awful plagues, including thegeneral carnage and devastation of Armageddon, huge hailstones and devastating earthquake (Revelation

    16:18-21; 6:14-17); (2) the awesome advent of Yahushua in glory, at which time the wicked are destroyed by

    fire and the earth is broken up by a great earthquake (Revelation16:17-21).

    B. The wicked are all dead (Jeremiah 4:25; Isaiah 11:4).

    C. Satan and his angels are "bound" on a desolate earth (Revelation 20:1-3).

    D. The righteous are engaged in a work of judgment in heaven (Revelation 20:4-6).

    "I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgement was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that

    were beheaded for the witness of Yahushua, and for the Word of Yahuwah, and which had not worshipped

    the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands: and they

    lived and reigned with the Anointed a thousand years" Revelation 20:4. (See 1 Corinthians 6:1-3.)

    NOTE: The Bible teaches that the saved will have a part in the judgment. But why have a judgment after all

    cases have been decided? When Yahushua comes, He brings His reward with Him and takes His people to

  • 7/29/2019 Bible Study Lessons - Part 6

    18/53

    heaven. But the wicked are to be raised from the dead at the end of the 1,000 years, to receive the

    punishment of the second death. Just how will Yahuwah deal with these cases? Who will burn in the lake of

    fire for a short time? Who for a longer time?

    Suppose you had a very dear Christian friend on earth whom you thought would be in heaven, but in heaven

    he was not to be found. Well, during the millenniumyou will find out just how Yahuwah has dealt with his

    case and the cases of all others. Yahuwah takes a thousand years for this work. He will run no risk of havingone single doubt in any mind about His work for fallen man. When the wicked finally have sentence

    pronounced upon them, it will be clear to all that they deserve the punishment.

    During this period Yahuwah allows the saved to sit, as it were, beside Him and learn how hard He tried to save

    every person. I think we shall understand Him better and love Him more after we have learned from the

    Saviour, Himself, His story of salvation. Don't you? When it is all over we shall say, "True and righteous are Thy

    judgments." Revelation 16:7. There will be no soil in our hearts for the growth of seeds of doubt. "Yahuwah

    shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." Revelation 21:4.

    During the 1,000 years, every soul who has ever lived on earth will be in one of two places: (1) on the earth,dead and lost, or (2) in heaven, taking part in the judgment. Yahuwah invites you to be in heaven. Please

    accept His invitation.

    Events At The Close Of The Millennium

    9.What is to happen at the end of the one thousand years?

    "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished." Revelation 20: 5. This is "the

    resurrection of damnation" spoken of by Yahushua, as recorded in John 5:29. Only the righteous are raised in

    the first resurrection. See Revelation 20:6. Since the righteous dead were raised one thousand years earlier,

    the expression, "the rest of the dead," must refer to the wicked.

    Answer: The wicked will be raised to life.

    1. The wicked dead are raised.2. The Holy City descends to earth with the saints.3. Satan mobilizes the vast multitude of the wicked against the Holy City and the saints.4. Yahuwah destroys sin, sinners, death, and hell in that last, final destruction. This is the second death.5. Yahuwah creates a new earth with all the marks and tracings of sin erased, and He will dwell with His

    people forever.

    Special Assignment for further personal study:

    The correct method of Scripture study is to look at (all) texts relevant to a subject before coming to a

    conclusion.

    "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and

    there a little:"

    (Isaiah 28:10)

    This study is necessary to arrive at the correct quiz answers regarding: (a) some of the things the saved will do

    after the one thousand years and (b) the fate that awaits the righteous at the second coming.

    We are given a glimpse of eternal life conditions and activities in the following texts: Isaiah 65:17-25; John

    1:14; John 14:2-3; Hebrews 1:2; 1 Thess. 4:17; Revelation 14:4; 1 Corinthians 2:9; Revelation 22:14 (Tree of

    life); Genesis 1:1; Ephesians 3:9;Colossians 1:16;1 Peter 1 (the mysteries of salvation).

    "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of Yahuwah! how unsearchable are His

    judgments, and His ways pastfindingout!" Romans 11:33

    "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than

    your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:9)

    There will never be a dull moment; we will have all eternity to keep learning and discovering new things!

    Examine the above texts carefully and make a list of some of the wonderful things we can anticipate in the

    world to come. Below is an example of how to link texts to arrive at a conclusion:

    HE CREATED THE EARTH - and everything else in the whole universe!

    "In the beginning Yahuwah created the heaven and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)

    "Andto make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath

    been hid in Yahuwah, who created all things by Yahushua:" (Ephesians 3:9)

    "For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether

    they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him:"

    (Colossians 1:16)

    HE LATER VISITED US IN PERSON -

    "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only

    begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)

    HE ALSO MADE OTHER WORLDS -

    "Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also

    He made the worlds;" (Hebrews 1:2)

    WE WILL BE WITH HIM -

  • 7/29/2019 Bible Study Lessons - Part 6

    20/53

    "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for

    you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am,

    there ye may be also." (John 14:2-3)

    "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Master

    in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Master." (1 Thess. 4:17)

    WE WILL FOLLOW HIM WHEREVER HE GOES -

    "These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the

    Lamb whithersoever He goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto Yahuwah

    and to the Lamb." (Rev. 14:4)

    CONCLUSION:

    If He created the earth and later visited us, then it is reasonable to anticipate that He will also visit the other

    worlds that He made and if we will be with Him always, then we will accompany Him on those exhilaratingvisits!

    The above example shows how we can arrive at one of the correct answers to question #24 in the quiz.

    Question: What fate awaits the righteous at the second coming?

    Correct Answer: The exhilarating experience of discovering and visiting new places in the universe.

    Now, re-examine all the given texts; if necessary, maybe you can find more Scriptures on your own to help you

    arrive at the other correct answers for the quiz.

    NOTE:At the close of the thousand years the second resurrection will take place. Then the wicked will be

    raised from the dead and appear before [Yahuwah] for the execution of 'the judgment written.' Thus the

    revelator, after describing the resurrection of the righteous, says: 'The rest of the dead lived not again until

    the thousand years were finished.' Revelation 20:5. And Isaiah declares, concerning the wicked: 'They shall be

    gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days

    shall they be visited.' Isaiah 24:22.The Great Controversy

    3. Eternal Life Through YahushuaGo to Part #6 Lessons Index Go To Quiz (offline/online)

    The King James Version (KJV) is mostly used in these lessons.Click hereto access the KJV online.

    The gift of immortality and eternal life which Yahuwah has promised to all His children is His most precious gift

    to man. It was to make possible the bestowal of this gift that Yahushua went to Calvary. He died that we might

    live. Through His stripes we shall be healed of the malady of sin and freed from the sentence of eternal death.

    We shall receive a gift of life that will measure with the life of Yahuwah.

    "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of Yahuwah is eternal life through Yahushua, the Anointed, our

    Master." Romans 6:23.

    This Life Transitory

    1. How are we shown that man does not naturally possess eternal life?

    For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of Yahuwah is eternal life through Yahushua, the Anointed, our

    Master. Romans 6:23.

    Answer: The doctrine of the natural immortality of the soul is one error with which the enemy is deceiving

    man. This error is well-nigh universal. But who told men that they would not die? Who told them that

    Yahuwah has reserved a portion of His universe where the wicked are to suffer, through the ceaseless ages of

    eternity, without a particle of hope? It was the serpent. Yahuwah said that sinners would die. Satan declares

    that they will not die. Many believe the oft-repeated lies of the serpent to be genuine truth.

    2. What things will be seen in the lives of those who receive the gift of everlasting life?

    But now being made free from sin, and become servants to Yahuwah, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and

    the end everlasting life. Romans 6:22.

    NOTE:To those that ask Him, [Yahushua] imparts the Holy Spirit; for it is necessary that every believer should

    be delivered from pollution, as well as from the curse and condemnation of the law. Through the work of the

    Holy Spirit, the sanctification of the truth, the believer becomes fitted for the courts of heaven; for [Yahushua

    works within us, and His righteousness is upon us. Without this no soul will be entitled to heaven. We wouldnot enjoy heaven unless qualified for its holy atmosphere by the influence of the Spirit and the righteousness

    of [Yahushua]. In order to be candidates for heaven we must meet the requirement of the law: Thou shalt

    love [Yahuwah thy Eloah] with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy

    mind; and thy neighbour as thyself (Luke 10:27). We can do this only as we grasp by faith the righteousness

    of [Yahushua]. By beholding [Yahushua] we receive a living, expanding principle in the heart, and the Holy

    Spirit carries on the work, and the believer advances from grace to grace, from strength to strength, from

    character to character. He conforms to the image of [Yahushua], until in spiritual growth he attains unto the

    measure of the full stature in [the Anointed, Yahushua]. Thus [Yahushua] makes an end of the curse of sin, and

    sets the believing soul free from its action and effect. Ye Shall Receive Power, page 65.

    3. What did Yahushua say was the qualification for eternal life?

    That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For Yahuwah so loved the world

    that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlastinglife...He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but

    the wrath of Yahuwah abideth on him. John 3:15-16, 36.

    Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting

    life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. John 5:24.

    Answer: Believe on the Master, Yahushua, the Anointed.

    NOTE: Many accept Yahushua as an article of belief, but they have no saving faith in Him as their sacrifice and

    Saviour. Do you believe that Yahushua, as your substitute, pays the debt of your transgression? Not, however

    that you may continue in sin, but that you may be saved from your sins; that you, through the merits of His

    righteousness, may be re-instated to the favour of Yahuwah.

    The Unsaved Die Twice

    4. What types of belief does the Bible warn against? Why will some come to believe things which are not

    true?

    And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the

    truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause Yahuwah shall send them strong delusion, that they should

    believe a lie. 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11.

    Answer: True faith trusts wholly in Yahushua for salvation, leading to perfect conformity to the law of

    Yahuwah. He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in

    him 1 John 2:4. It is unsafe to trust our feelings or impressions; these are unreliable guides. Yahuwahs law is

    the only correct standard of holiness. It is by this law that character is to be judged.

    5. When Yahushua was asked what was necessary for man to do to have eternal life, how did He reply?

    And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eterna

    life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love

    Yahuwah thy Eloah with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and

    thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. Luke

    10:25-28.

    Answer:The worlds Redeemer has plainly specified the conditions of eternal life. Both the conditions and the

    promise are positive. Yahushua must be the center. We must love Him and when we love Him we will love our

    neighbour as ourselves.

  • 7/29/2019 Bible Study Lessons - Part 6

    28/53

    If an inquirer after salvation were to ask, 'What shall I do to inherit eternal life?' the modern teachers of

    sanctification would answer, 'Only believe that [Yahushua] saves you.' But when [Yahushua] was asked this

    question, He said, 'What is written in the law? How readest thou?' And when the questioner replied, 'Thou

    shalt love [Yahuwah thy Eloah] with all thy heart . . . and thy neighbour as thyself,' [Yahushua] said, 'Thou hast

    answered right: this do, and thou shalt live' (Luke 10:25-29). True sanctification will be evidenced by a

    conscientious regard for all the commandments of [Yahuwah], by a careful improvement of every talent, by a

    circumspect conversation, by revealing in every act the meekness of [Yahushua]. Faith and Works, pages 5253.

    6. How did Yahushua answer this same question on another occasion?

    And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal

    life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, Yahuwah: but if

    thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. Matthew 19:16-17.

    NOTE: The sanctification now gaining prominence in the religious world carries with it a spirit of self

    exaltation and a disregard for the law of [Yahuwah] that marks it as foreign to the religion of the Bible. Itsadvocates teach that sanctification is an instantaneous work, by which, through faith alone, they attain to

    perfect holiness. Only believe, say they, and the blessing is yours. No further effort on the part of the

    receiver is supposed to be required. At the same time they deny the authority of the law of [Yahuwah], urging

    that they are released from obligation to keep the commandments. But is it possible for men to be holy, in

    accord with the will and character of [Yahuwah], without coming into harmony with the principles which are

    an expression of His nature and will, and which show what is well pleasing to Him? The desire for an easy

    religion that requires no striving, no self-denial, no divorce from the follies of the world has made the doctrine

    of faith, and faith only, a popular doctrine; but what saith the word of [Yahuwah]? Says the apostle James:

    What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him? .

    . Wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? The Great Controversy, pages 471-472.

    7. What promise did Yahushua give to those who are willing to sacrifice in this life for His sake?

    And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or

    lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. Matthew 19:29.

    8. What condition did Yahushua speak of for those who wish to receive eternal life? What did He mean by

    this?

    Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day... It is

    the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and

    they are life. John 6:54, 63.

    NOTE: "To eat the flesh and drink the blood of [Yahushua] is to receive Him as a personal Saviour, believing

    that He forgives our sins and that we are complete in Him. It is by beholding His love, by dwelling upon it, by

    drinking it in, that we are to become partakers of His nature. What food is to the body, [Yahushua] must be to

    the soul. Food cannot benefit us unless we eat it, unless it becomes a part of our being. So [Yahushua] is of no

    value to us if we do not know Him as a personal Saviour. A theoretical knowledge will do us no good. We must

  • 7/29/2019 Bible Study Lessons - Part 6

    29/53

    feed upon Him, receive Him into the heart, so that His life becomes our life. His love, His grace, must be

    assimilated." The Desire of Ages, page 389.

    9. How did Peter show his understanding of Yahushuas words?

    Then Simon Peter answered him, Master, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we

    believe and are sure that thou art that the Anointed, the Son of the living Eloah. John 6:68-69.

    NOTE: "Spiritual life must be sustained by communion with [Yahushua] through His Word. The mind must

    dwell upon it; the heart must be filled with it. The Word of [Yahuwah] laid up in the heart and sacredly

    cherished and obeyed, through the power of the grace of [Yahushua], can make man right, and keep him right;

    but every human influence, every earthly invention, is powerless to give strength and wisdom to man. It

    cannot restrain passion, or correct deformity of character. Unless the truth of [Yahuwah] controls the heart

    the conscience will be warped. But in these worldly societies the mind is turned away from the Word of

    [Yahuwah]. Men are not led to make it the study and the guide of life."Selected Messages, Book 2, page 124.

    10. How did Yahushua explain the Christian life and its reward?

    My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they

    shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. John 10:27-28.

    NOTE: "[Yahushua] is the Good Shepherd. He leads the way, calling upon His sheep to follow him. Those who

    hear and obey His voice will follow His example in all things. Becoming acquainted with Him, they will grow

    daily more and more like Him. They will be meek and lowly, free from jealousy and envy. Do we hear

    [Yahushuas] voice? Are we following Him? It is of great importance that we know whether we are following

    the True Shepherd. In order to know this, we must search His Word; for it is His voice speaking to us. What

    saith the Scriptures? is to be our watchword at every step. In [Yahuwahs] word we may find an answer to

    every question. From it light shines upon our pathway, revealing the Good Shepherd as He goes before us."Youth Instructor, October 3, 1901 par. 3

    11. What has Yahushua promised to those who follow Him?

    And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 1 John 2:25.

    12. What characteristics will be found in those who receive eternal life?

    To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life.

    Romans 2:7. Compare Revelation 14:12.

    NOTE: "Patient continuance in well-doing will lead you through this world of sorrow and strife to glory and

    honour and eternal life. Have [Yahuwah] within and [Yahuwah] overhead and you have nothing to fear. The

    Bible is a light to those who are in darkness. In the prospect of a blissful immortality held out to those who

    endure unto the end, you will find an elevating power, a strength which you need to resist evil. Be steadfast in

    the hour of trial, and you will gain at last a crown which will never fade away."This Day With God, page 194.

    13. What battle must all those engage in who will receive eternal life?

    good profession before many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:12.

    4. Heavenly CitizenshipGo to Part #6 Lessons Index Go To Quiz (offline/online)

    The King James Version (KJV) is mostly used in these lessons. Click here to access the KJV online.

    Those whose lives are transformed by the gospel im-mediately become citizens of the kingdom of Yahushua.

    They "are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow

    citizens with the saints, and of the household of

    Yahuwah." Ephesians 2:19. For, "as many as received

    him, to them gave he power to become the sons of

    Yahuwah, even to them that believe on his name." John

    1:12. They are gathered by the gospel out of "every

    nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people" (Revela-

    tion 14:6). They are welded together into a "holy

    nation." They become "the people of Yahuwah" (1 Peter2:9, 10).

    This transfer of allegiance changes everything. The old

    desires and lusts are crucified, and the affections are now

    set on "things above." (Colossians 3:2.) Those things which once were loved are now hated, and in the heart is

    a desire to do the entire will of Yahuwah. Of this change Yahuwah declares: "I will put my laws into their mind

    and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them Eloah, and they shall be to me a people." (Hebrews 8:10).

    The Law in Eden

    1. Why did Yahuwah give mankind His commandments?

    A. Standard of righteousness. Know His Will, being instructed out of the law. Romans 2:18. See also Psalm 119:142

    172.

    B. Reveals any lapse from obedience and alsoreveal the difference between right and wrong. By the law is

    the knowledge of sin. Romans 3:20.

    I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

    Romans 7:7.

    C. For happiness and long life. "He that keepeth the law, happy is he." Proverbs 29:18. "Keep my

    commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee." Proverbs 3:1,2.

    NOTE:The soul must first be convicted of sin before the sinner will feel a desire to come to Yahushua. Sin is

    the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4). I had not known sin, but by the law (Romans 7:7). When the

    commandment came home to Sauls conscience, sin revived, and he died. He saw himself condemned by the

    law of Yahuwah. The sinner cannot be convinced of his guilt unless he understands what constitutes sin. It is

    impossible for an individual to experience Bible sanctification while he holds that if he believes in Yahushua it

    is immaterial whether he obeys Yahuwahs law or disobeys it.

    2. How does Paul clarify the problem concerning right and wrong understandings of the purpose for

    Yahuwahs law?

    Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight. Romans 3:20.

    Yahushua did not come to excuse sin, nor to justify a sinner while he continued to transgress that law for

    which the Son of Yahuwah was to give His life to vindicate and exalt. Had it been possible for the law to be

    cancelled, Yahushua would have not have needed die. Yahuwah could have taken the sinner back into favour

    by annulling the law. But this could not be. The law holds the transgressor in bondage, but the obedient are

    free. The law cannot cleanse from sin; it condemns the sinner. The sinner may stand justified before Yahuwah

    only through repentance toward Him, and faith in the merits of Yahushua, the Anointed. The law is a great

    mirror by means of which the sinner may discern the defects in his moral character. But the mirror cannot

    remove those defects. The gospel points to Yahushua as the only one able to remove the stains of sin by his

    blood. Though the law has no pardoning power, it is the only means by which to explain to the sinner what sinreally is. By the law is the knowledge of sin. Without the law, Paul tells us sin is dead.

    3. How does the Bible define sin?

    Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1 John 3:4.

    Our only definition of sin is that given in the Word of [Yahuwah]; it is 'the transgression of the Law.'" The

    Great Controversy, page 492.

    4. What verses are sometimes quoted as alternative definitions of sin?

    Whatsoever is not of faith is sin. Romans 14:23.

    To him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. James 4:17.

    In the case of Romans 14:23, those who use this verse as a definition of sin are not thinking logically. When

    the Bible says, Sin is we are likely [though not always] to be looking at a definition. When the Bible says,

    is sin, we are more probably looking at an example of sin.

    Adam Broke The Law

    5. How did mankind come to forfeit eternal life in the first place?

    And Yahuwah Elohim commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of

    the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof

    thou shalt surely die. And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the

    garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Elohim hath said, Ye shall not eat of it,

    neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For Elohim

    doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as elohim, knowing

    good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes,

    and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her

    husband with her; and he did eat. Genesis 2:16-17; 3:2-6.

    Answer: Man divorced himself from Yahuwah by transgression. And the reason why man was not destroyed

    was because Yahuwah so loved him that He made the gift of His dear Son that He should suffer the penalty ofhis transgression. Yahushua proposed to become mans surety and substitute, that man, through matchless

    grace, should have another trial, a second probation, having the experience of Adam and Eve as a warning not

    to transgress Yahuwahs law as they did.

    6. How does Paul explain the importance of Yahuwahs law in defining sin?

    I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

    Romans 7:7.

    Answer: The sense of sin, urged home by the law, drives the sinner to the Saviour. The law and the gospel are

    in perfect harmony. Each upholds the other

    7. Does faith in the blood of Yahushua, shed on Calvary for us, remove the obligation to obey Yahuwahs

    law?

    Do we then make void the law through faith? Yahuwahforbid: yea, we establish the law. Romans 3:31.

    Paul employs no stronger negative expression than the one translated as Yahuwah forbid.

    NOTE: There are two errors against which the children of Yahuwah, particularly those who have just come to

    trust in His grace, especially need to guard. The first is that of looking to their own works, trusting to anythingthey can do, to bring themselves into harmony with Yahuwah. It is the grace of Yahushua alone, through faith,

    that can make us holy. The opposite and no less dangerous error is that belief in Yahushua releases men from

    keeping the law of Yahuwah; that since by faith alone we become partakers of the grace of Yahushua, our

    works have nothing to do with our redemption. But notice here that obedience is not a mere outward

    compliance, but the service of love.

    Is he now free to transgress [Yahuwah's] law? Says Paul: "Do we then make void the law through faith?

    [Yahuwah] forbid: yea, we establish the law." "How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"

    And John declares: "This is the love of [Yahuwah], that we keep His commandments: and His commandments

    are not grievous." Romans 3:31; 6:2; 1 John 5:3. In the new birth the heart is brought into harmony with

    [Yahuwah], as it is brought into accord with His law. When this mighty change has taken place in the sinner, he

    has passed from death unto life, from sin unto holiness, from transgression and rebellion to obedience and

    loyalty. The old life of alienation from [Yahuwah] has ended; the new life of reconciliation, of faith and love,

    has begun. Then "the righteousness of the law" will "be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after

    the Spirit." Romans 8:4. And the language of the soul will be: "O how love I Thy law! it is my meditation all the

    day." Psalm 119:97. The Great Controversypage 468.

    8. How did Yahushua express the enduring nature of Yahuwahs law?

    Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. Fo

    verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all

    be fulfilled. Matthew
