The Root of God’s Law: Total Separation, or Being Set Apart for God
A Warning
If you have ears, listen carefully. If you have eyes, see with your spiritual eyes what the Spirit of God is saying to the churches today.
Before you can truly understand this book, I want to bring you to God’s perfect plan—the law of separation, the sanctification of people and things for God. This law is unchangeable and cannot be altered. Look to the book of Leviticus: everything and everyone serving God in the Temple was set apart for God alone.
In those days, Moses sprinkled the blood of animals on God’s commandments. Today, it is the precious blood of Jesus Christ that sets us apart from the world. Read John 17 repeatedly with the Spirit of God. This chapter shows God separating us from the world.
From the very beginning, God set Abel apart through His Spirit. Abel’s offering with blood was accepted because it was right. Then came Seth, Abel’s replacement after Cain killed him, and Seth’s line leads to Jesus Christ. Consider Noah and his children, set apart to build the Ark for God’s purpose. From Noah’s family, Shem was set apart, then Terah, then Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel), father of the twelve tribes of Israel. These tribes were set apart from the world for God’s purpose. Among them, the tribe of Judah was specially set apart.
Do not be deceived about God’s law of separation, which is closely tied to the seventh-day Sabbath. God’s purpose for this law is for His church—both Jews and Gentiles in Christ Jesus. The blood of Jesus Christ unites all who accept Him as Lord and Savior into one body, the body of Christ. The Ten Commandments are infallible and eternal. Read Matthew 5—they guide us daily and keep us in Christ’s grace for life.
What About Christians Today?
Christmas, as it is celebrated now, is not biblical. It’s a pagan tradition and very worldly. Churches filled with Christmas trees, tinsel, balloons, and decorations have little to do with honoring Jesus Christ. Christ did not celebrate His birth, nor did the apostles celebrate Christmas. There is no biblical record of it. So who is Christmas really honoring?
God condemns trees or plants near His altar. See Exodus 13; 1 Kings 15, 16:13; 2 Kings 13:6; 17:16; 21:3; Deuteronomy 16:21. In Deuteronomy 5:14, Moses calls it the Sabbath of the Lord. Christ came and was nailed to the cross as the Lamb of Passover. He is no longer a baby and will not return as one. He will come as a God of judgment, separating the wicked from those who accept Him as Lord and Savior.
There are biblical festivals the apostles celebrated as the church—Pentecost, the feast of harvest, and others found in the book of Acts.
Christmas is now a commercial event, with non-Christians selling goods to Christians at inflated prices. Easter is similar. It’s loosely connected to Passover and the Last Supper. Few are willing to leave jobs or pleasures to observe the seventh-day Sabbath—only those truly committed, whose names are written in the book of life before the world began.
We must give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.
The Seventh-Day Sabbath
In Deuteronomy 5:14, Moses calls it the Sabbath of the Lord. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew, read right to left; the New Testament in Greek, read left to right. Mark 2:28 and Deuteronomy 5:14 both come from God, with the same meaning.
The seventh-day Sabbath belongs to God. Loving Christ means obeying His commandments. It is the day we worship Him fully. We pray, heal in Christ’s name, preach, visit the sick, help the needy, sing praises to the Almighty God who calls Himself the Lord of the Sabbath. No other day qualifies as the Lord’s Day but the seventh-day Sabbath, from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday.
This day honors God by setting us apart from a corrupt, perverse world ruled by Satan’s spirits. It’s a world where bad is called good and pagan rituals abound. It separates God’s chosen from the rest. Christ said in John 17 that while we live in the world, we are not part of its abominations.
A Call to Obedience
Dear reader,
Read the book of Exodus again. Just as God sent two witnesses—Moses and Aaron—to Pharaoh to free His people, He will send two witnesses today to tell the Pope to let God’s people observe the seventh-day Sabbath, instituted before the world began and immediately after creation.
Revelation 18:4 says,
“Come out of her, my people, so you do not share in her sins or receive her plagues.”
God is serious about delivering His saints from centuries of Roman captivity and slavery.
Praise God, who never leaves His people without help. He promised the saints would suffer under a wicked lawless man (see Daniel 7:25) but will ultimately be delivered.
The Roman Empire was the last world government to rule ruthlessly. Though it has fallen, its influence remains: the names of weekdays and months still honor Roman gods and goddesses.
It is time for the saints to be freed from this influence and serve the living God.
The day of falling away has come—the ecumenical, circular, and global churches will fall away from the true church of Christ forever.
The man of sin, who opposes and exalts himself above God and sits in God’s temple proclaiming himself God, will be revealed (2 Thessalonians 2).
We Christians must obey God by observing His feast days, His new year, and all His commandments.
