Looking For Truth

Well we are rapidly arriving at a conclusion to this series! The concluding part (Part 14) will see the white stone of approval being dropped! Who receives it? Stay tuned!

^{^{"He that has an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I
give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the
stone a new name written, which no one knows but he that receives it."
Revelation 2:17}}

Only one assembly received approval by the Messiah in the book of Revelation.

What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven assemblies: unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. Revelation 1:11

The book of Revelation contains the critique of Yahshua the Messiah on these seven assemblies beginning in Revelation chapter 2 and ending in Revelation 3:22. You will find only one assembly receiving approval by the Savior, Yahshua! The Philadelphia Assembly receives the stamp of approval because of several dividing factors which are listed by the Messiah Yahshua! Let's read from this passage!

^{And to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write:}

^{These things says
he that is holy, he that is true, he that has the key of David, he that opens
and no one shall shut, and that shuts and none opens:}^{I know your works (behold, I have set before you a open
door, which none can shut), that you have a little power, and did keep my word,
and did not deny my name. Behold, I give of the
synagogue of Satan, of them that say they are Jews, and they are not, but do
lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know
that I have loved you. Because you did keep the
word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of trial, that hour
which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
I come quickly: hold fast that which you have, that no one
take your crown. He that overcomes, I will make him
a pillar in the temple of my Elohim, and he shall go out from there no more: and
I will write upon him the name of my Elohim, and the name of the city of my
Elohim, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my Elohim, and my
own new name. He that has an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit says to the assemblies.} ^{Revelation 3:7-13}

Approval requires something! What you may ask? Look at the things in this passage for some clues. Key of David!

The knowledge and use of Yahweh's name alone.

Works! Keeping Yahweh's laws, statues, and ordinances are works.

Don't forget about the fruits of the spirit in Galatians 5:22-23. Notice the Philadelphia Assembly kept his word as per Matt. 19:17, John 8:51.

Also, they did not deny his name! This is very important! Remember the scripture used in this series taken from Proverbs 30:4? Incidentally the organization we are seeking will not be called by Philadelphia or anything with Philadelphia in the name. The term Philadelphia is a descriptive term or name meaning brotherly love.

You also see the difference between those who did not correctly praise Him and those who did. Let's start our qualification list, shall we? I will list the major points that we have covered in this series. Not necessarily in sequential order though! Let's review what we have covered so far in this series.

1. The exclusive use of the Bible as the only source and final authority of the true faith given to use by Almighty Yahweh.

2. The exclusive use of the one true name for the Heavenly Father, Yahweh!

3. The exclusive use of the only name given among men whereby we can be saved, Yahshua!

4. The keeping of the correct day as the Sabbath Day. That being the seventh day commonly called Saturday.

5. The dietary laws as expressed in Torah! No! Peter's vision (Acts 10) did not mean everything it is ok to eat.

6. The core of the Torah law, the Ten Commandments must be kept along with all the moral laws of Torah!

7. Tithing is just as binding and relevant now, as it was in Abraham's time!

These are but a few of the basic teachings found in Yahweh's Holy Word. However, they are very relevant for Salvation. Actually the Bible teaches total obedience to the whole counsel of Almighty Yahweh. The organization we will drop the white stone on will be following the Bible exclusively. They will live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh, as per Deut. 8:3 and Matt. 4:4. They will be teaching the Bible as one accentual unit from Genesis to Revelation.

So, now who will get the white stone? The YES! vote? Stay tuned as we will reveal this in Part 14 of Looking For Truth?

My thoughts are running along these lines:

Should I password protect the final installment and have you email us for the password so you can read the answer?

Or!

Should I just post the answer without further ado? Hmm! What to do? What to do?

So for now! Yours in Messiah, Hawke
