INTRODUCTION
There’s comfort in numbers. However, in the true gospel, only a few shall reach the goal. A majority will get lost. A majority will be destroyed with fire and brimstone. So it’s important to always be keen to read and follow the truth. And it is imperative to ensure that we examine ourselves, 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Yahshua Messiah is in you, except ye be reprobates?
1. FEW WILL FIND THE NARROW PATH – Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT.
NOTE, THERE’S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FINDING THE NARROW GATE AND ACTUALLY PASSING THROUGH IT!
2. ONLY A FEW SHALL BE SAVED – Luke 13:23-24 Then said one unto him, Lord, ARE THERE FEW THAT BE SAVED? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. NOW THIS IS CLEAR, MANY SEEK TO ENTER THE NARROW GATE BUT THEY WON’T BE ABLE TO.
4. FEW ARE CHOSEN. Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. NOTE FEW ARE CHOSEN. ARE YOU AMONG THE FEW? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO BE AMONG THE CHOSEN FEW? OR ARE YOU FOLLOWING MULTITUDES IN SIN?
5. A REMNANT SHALL BE SAVED. Romans 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved. REMEMBER ISRAEL WAS CHOSEN OF THE LORD. SEE HOW MANY MILLIONS GOT LOST AMONG THEM? WE SHOULD TAKE HEED OF THIS. ELOHIM DID NOT SPARE HIS CHILDREN BECAUSE THEY SINNED. DO YOU THINK ELOHIM WILL SPARE YOU AS YOU CONTINUE IN SIN?
6. ONLY 8 PEOPLE GOT SAVED IN TIMES OF NOAH. THE REST WERE TAKEN AWAY BY THE FLOODS. 1 Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. IMAGINE ONLY 8 PEOPLE BEING SAVED? IMAGINE THE CRY THAT WAS IN THE WHOLE WORLD AS THE FLOODS RAGED? HOWEVER, ELOHIM NEVER CARED. THE WICKED WERE TAKEN AWAY BY THE FLOODS ON ACCOUNT OF THEIR SIN!
7. IN SODOM AND GOMORRAH ONLY 3 PEOPLE WERE SAVED – LOT AND HIS 2 DAUGHTERS. Luke 17:32 Remember Lot’s wife; Read also Genesis 19:15, 23-26, 30 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
ELOHIM ALLOWED THE BURNING OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH AND THE SURROUNDING CITIES. HE BURNED THEM DOWN. HE DIDN’T CARE. EVEN LOT’S WIFE BECAME A PILLAR OF SALT FOR LOOKING BACK! HOW MANY IN CHURCH ARE ACTIVELY LIVING IN SIN AS IN SODOM AND GOMORRAH? HOW MANY IN CHURCH HAVE LOOKED BACK LIKE LOT’S WIFE? DO WE HOPE ELOHIM WILL SPARE US BECAUSE MESSIAH CAME? DON’T YOU READ THAT OUR PUNISHMENT IS SORER IF WE REJECT YAHSHUA? Hebrews 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of Elohim, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
8. THE SAINTS SHALL BE HATED BY ALL PEOPLE. Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. QUESTION: ARE YOU HATED BY ALL PEOPLE ON ACCOUNT OF THE NAME OF THE LORD?
9. MESSIAH CAME TO CAUSE VARIANCE EVEN DEEP IN THE FAMILY. Matthew 10:34-37 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. ARE YOU IN PEACE WITH YOUR FAMILY WHO ARE NON-BELIEVERS? IF SO, THEN LOOK AT YOUR BELIEF AGAIN. THERE’S SOMETHING AMISS.
10. EVIL MEN AND SEDUCERS SHALL INCREASE IN THESE LAST DAYS. 2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. THIS IS SCARCELY. NO WONDER EVEN DEEP IN THE CHURCH, PEOPLE ARE ENTERTAINING EVIL THINGS MORE AND MORE. SEDUCTION TO BELIEVE THE UNSOUND DOCTRINE IS MORE AND MORE.
11. THE WORD MAKES BELIEVERS BE HATED BY THE WHOLE WORLD. John 17:14-16 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
ARE YOU HATED ON ACCOUNT OF THE WORD? OR ARE YOU IN THE WORLD AND OF THE WORLD?
12. THE WHOLE WORLD WORSHIPS THE DEVIL AND THE BEAST. Revelation 13:3-4 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and ALL THE WORLD WONDERED AFTER THE BEAST.
AND THEY WORSHIPPED THE DRAGON which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? WHAT IS THE IDENTITY OF THE DRAGON? Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the DRAGON, that OLD SERPENT, which is the DEVIL, and SATAN, and bound him a thousand years. For further proof that the Dragon is the Devil, read Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the DRAGON, THAT OLD SERPENT, which is the DEVIL, AND SATAN, and bound him a thousand years.
ARE YOU FIGHTING AGAINST THE DEVIL? OR RATHER IS THE DEVIL FIGHTING AGAINST YOU? IF HE IS NOT, THEN YOU NEED TO EXAMINE YOURSELF SO THAT YOU ARE NOT PART OF HIS BANDS.
13. THE MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE VARIOUS CHURCH GROUPS ARE TWOFOLD CHILDREN OF HELL THAN THOSE WHO PREACHED TO THEM. For when they are preached to, they are taught some things that are not Biblical and are made to defend them vehemently, not knowing why they do them. When you ask them why they do them, they get very angry with you. You become their enemy. Matthew 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
WHEN YOU PREACH TO PEOPLE TO JOIN YOUR RANKS, DO YOU DO SO TO BELONG TO YOUR GROUP AND MAKE THEM YOUR FOLLOWERS AND TO GET THEIR MONEY? OR DO YOU PREACH TO MAKE THEM SONS OF ELOHIM?
14. MANY TEACHERS TODAY TEACH THINGS THAT EVEN MAKE PEOPLE DENY THE LORD. WHEN SAINTS ARE TOLD TO DO THINGS THAT WERE DONE BY JEWS BEFORE MESSIAH CAME, THIS AUTOMATICALLY SHOWS MESSIAH NEVER NEEDED TO COME! PAUL SHUNNED THOSE JEWISH THINGS BUT TODAY SOME CHURCH GROUPS FIGHT TO KEEP THEM (READ GALATIANS 1:13-14). 2 Peter 2:1-3 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
15. ONLY A FEW BABIES HAVE BEEN REVEALED THE TRUTH. Luke 10:21 In that hour Yahshua rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
ARE YOU ONE OF THE BABIES THAT HAVE THE TRUTH OF ELOHIM?
16. ONLY A LITTLE FLOCK WILL BE GIVEN THE KINGDOM. Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. TODAY WE, IN THE CHURCH, CLAMOUR FOR NUMBERS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE TRUTH. THOUGH WE KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG, AS LONG AS IT MAKES THE GROUP LARGE, WE TURN A BLIND EYE. HOW IS THE CHURCH DIFFERENT FROM THE GENTILE CHURCHES?
17. TODAY MANY PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH ARE LOOKING FOR TEACHERS TO TEACH THEM THINGS THAT ARE AGAINST THE SOUND DOCTRINE – 2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. THIS IS HAPPENING TODAY. PEOPLE ARE IN CHURCH. THEY DEFEND THINGS THAT WERE NOT INSTRUCTED BY MESSIAH, NOR APOSTLES NOR THE HOLY SPIRIT!
18. ONLY JOSHUA AND CALEB REACHED CANAAN; THE REST OF THE 600,000 GROWN MEN THAT LEFT EGYPT, DIED IN THE WILDERNESS. Exodus 12:37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children; Numbers 14:29-31 Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,
Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
Read also Exodus 12:37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
IMAGINE A WHOOPING 599,998 GROWN MEN WERE LOST IN THE WILDERNESS!
19. SOME ARE FOLLOWING SEDUCING SPIRITS AND THE DOCTRINE OF DEVILS. 1 Timothy 4:1-2 Now the Spirit speaketh 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. ARE YOU FOLLOWING THE SOUND DOCTRINE? OR ARE YOU FOLLOWING THE DOCTRINE OF YOUR CHURCH? HOW DO YOU TELL IT IS THE TRUE DOCTRINE? OR ARE YOU FOLLOWING DOCTRINES OF DEVILS OR TRADITIONS OF MEN THAT ARE NOT IN THE BIBLE?
20. IF ONLY A FEW WILL BE SAVED AND OTHERS WILL BE DESTROYED BY FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO? 2 Peter 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness. 1 Peter 4:17-19 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of Elohim: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of Elohim?
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of Elohim commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator. LET US FOLLOW TRUTH. WE ARE SAVED WITH THE TRUTH. WE ARE SAVED IN LIVING A RIGHTEOUS LIFE. WE ARE NOT SAFE IF WE FOLLOW LARGE GROUPS BUT CONTINUE IN UNHOLINESS AND UTTER SINNING.
CONCLUSION
We have established that only a few people shall be saved.
Our Heavenly Father seeks the few who keep His word, guided by the words of Messiah and His apostles. The ones who are led by the True Holy Spirit.
If we are in the Church and will not follow the truth of His Word, the Lord shall reject us just as He did to the Israelites – Deuteronomy 28:63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
LET US EXAMINE OURSELVES – 2 Corinthians 13:5-6 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Yahshua Messiah is in you, except ye be reprobates?
But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
Be blessed.
