The Stained Are
Brought Into Contempt
Isaiah 23 reads,
23:1The
burden of
23:9 shows that those who are stained are brought into contempt. This implies that to avoid being brought into contempt one should avoid being stained.
Hosea 6:4-10 reads,
6:4"Ephraim,
what shall I do to you?
For your love is like a morning cloud,
And like the dew that disappears early.
6:5Therefore
I have cut them to pieces with the prophets;
I killed them with the words of my mouth.
Your judgments are like a flash of lightning.
6:6For
I desire mercy, and not sacrifice;
And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
6:7But
they, like Adam, have broken the covenant.
They were unfaithful to me, there.
6:8Gilead
is a city of those who work iniquity;
It is stained with blood.
6:9As
gangs of robbers wait to ambush a man,
So the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem,
Committing shameful crimes.
6:10In
the house of
There is prostitution in Ephraim.
There are those who are stained with blood - those who work iniquity. Among the iniquities worked by these are robbery, murder and prostitution. Also, the love of the stained is not a lasting love, being very transient in nature. The stained look to outward form of worship, rather than worshipping from their hearts. For they sacrifice and offer burnt offerings, but do not have mercy or the knowledge of the Mighty One in their hearts. They, like Adam, are unfaithful to Yahweh in that they break Yahweh's covenant.
To Avoid Being
Stained By The World
It is therefore imperative that those who seek to be unstained by the world should be righteous before Yahweh, avoiding works of iniquity such as robbery, murder and prostitution, among others. They should also be steadfast in their love, loving Yahweh wholeheartedly, manifesting his mercy and knowing him. They should also be faithful to Yahweh, honouring their covenant with Yahweh.
Yahweh's
Judgements On The Stained
Jude 5-25 reads,
1:5Now
I desire to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord,
having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those
who didn’t believe. 1:6Angels
who didn’t keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place,
he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great
day. 1:7Even as Sodom and Gomorrah,
and the cities around them, having, in the same way as these, given themselves
over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an
example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. 1:8Yet in like manner these also in their dreaming defile
the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings. 1:9But Michael, the archangel, when contending
with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him
an abusive condemnation, but said, "May the Lord rebuke you!" 1:10But these speak evil of whatever things
they don’t know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without
reason, in these things are they destroyed. 1:11Woe
to them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of
Balaam for hire, and perished in Korah’s rebellion. 1:12These are hidden rocky reefs in your love
feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves;
clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit,
twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 1:13wild
waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the
blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. 1:14To
these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the
Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones, 1:15to
execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of
ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things
which ungodly sinners have spoken against him." 1:16These are murmurers and complainers,
walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing
respect of persons for the sake of advantage.
1:17But
you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles
of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1:18They
said to you that "In the last time there will be mockers, walking after
their own ungodly lusts." 1:19These
are they who cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Spirit. 1:20But you, beloved, keep building up
yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit. 1:21Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking
for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. 1:22On some have compassion, making a
distinction, 1:23and some save,
snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained by
the flesh.
1:24Now
to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless
before the presence of his glory in great joy, 1:25to
God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power,
both now and forever. Amen.
"The
World" Can Mean Peoples Inhabiting The Earth
Psalm 9:7-8 reads,
9:7But
Yahweh reigns forever.
He has prepared his throne for judgment.
9:8He
will judge the world in righteousness.
He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
"The world", as used in 9:8, is synonymous with the peoples inhabiting the earth. "The world" can therefore mean the peoples inhabiting the earth.
"Men Of The
World" Are Equated With The Wicked
Psalm 17:13-15 reads,
17:13Arise,
Yahweh,
Confront him, cast him down.
Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword;
17:14From men by your hand,
Yahweh,
From men of the world, whose portion is
in this life,
Whose belly you fill with your treasure:
They are satisfied with children,
Leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
17:15As
for me, I shall see your face in righteousness;
I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.
David equates "men of the world" with the wicked. He also contrasts these from the righteous. The world, when used in reference to people, implies those who are wicked rather than the righteous.
The World Is
Synonymous With The People Inhabiting The Earth
Psalm 96:10-13 reads,
96:10Say
among the nations, "Yahweh reigns."
The world is also established.
It can’t be moved.
He will judge the peoples with equity.
96:11Let
the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice.
Let the sea roar, and the fullness of it!
96:12Let the field exult, and all
that is therein.
Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy
96:13Before Yahweh; for he comes,
For he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
The peoples with his truth.
Yahweh Will Judge
The World With Righteousness
Psalm 98:8-9 reads,
98:8Let
the rivers clap their hands.
Let the mountains sing for joy together.
98:9Let
them sing before Yahweh,
For he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with
righteousness,
And the peoples with equity.
Yahweh Will Punish
The World For Their Evil
Isaiah 13:9-12 reads,
13:9Behold,
the day of Yahweh comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a
desolation, and to destroy the sinners of it out of it. 13:10For the stars of the sky and the
constellations of it shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in
its going forth, and the moon shall not cause its light to shine. 13:11I will punish the world for their evil,
and the wicked for their iniquity: and I will cause the arrogance of the
proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. 13:12I will make a man more rare than fine
gold, even a man than the pure gold of Ophir.
Isaiah also equates the world with sinners - evildoers, the wicked, the arrogant, the proud, the haughty and the terrible.
Sons Of This World
Contrasted With Sons Of The Light
Luke 16:8 reads,
16:8"His lord commended the unrighteous steward
because he had done wisely, for the sons of this world are, in their own
generation, wiser than the sons of the light.
Yah'shuah also contrasted the world with light. Those of the world are the unrighteous. Those of light are the righteous.
The World Did Not
Recognise Yah'shuah Its Maker
John 1:6-13 reads,
1:6There
came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. 1:7The
same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might
believe through him. 1:8He was not
the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light. 1:9The true light that enlightens everyone was
coming into the world.
1:10He
was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the
world didn’t recognize him. 1:11He
came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him. 1:12But as many as received him, to them he
gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name: 1:13who were born not of blood, nor of the will
of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John here equates the world with the people inhabiting the earth.
John 1:29-30 reads,
1:29On
the next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of
God, who takes away the sin of the world! 1:30This
is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he
was before me.’ 1:31I didn’t know
him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed
to Israel."
John the Baptist also equated the world with its inhabitants, seeing that it is the inhabitants who are capable of sin, and whose sin can indeed be taken away.
Yahweh Sent
Yah'shuah To Save The World
John 3:16-21 reads,
3:16For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and
only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal
life. 3:17For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the
world, but that the world should be saved through him. 3:18He who believes
in him is not judged. He who doesn’t
believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the
name of the only born Son of God. 3:19This is the judgment, that the light has come into the
world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works
were evil. 3:20For everyone who does evil hates the light, and
doesn’t come to the light, for fear that his works would be reproved. 3:21But he who does the
truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been
done in God."
Yah'shuah again equated the world with its inhabitants, people capable of perishing, of having eternal life, of being judged, of being saved, of believing or not believing, of loving, of conduct or works, etc. He also further equated the world with those men who love darkness rather than light, whose works are evil and fear being reproved.
Yah'shuah Is The
Saviour Of The World
John 4:39-42 reads,
4:39From
that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the
woman, who testified, ‘He told me everything that I did." 4:40So when the Samaritans came to him, they
begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days. 4:41Many more believed because of his word. 4:42They said to the woman, "Now we
believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and
know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."
The Samaritans also equated the world with its inhabitants - those capable of being saved by the Christ.
John 7:1-8 reads,
7:1After
these things, Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea, because the
Jews sought to kill him. 7:2Now
the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand. 7:3His brothers therefore said to him,
"Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see
your works which you do. 7:4For
no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do
these things, reveal yourself to the world." 7:5For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
7:6Jesus
therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come,
but your time is always ready. 7:7The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify
about it, that its works are evil. 7:8You go up to the
feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet
fulfilled."
Both Yah'shuah and his brothers equated the world with the people inhabiting it, such as the Jews. Yah'shuah further narrowed down the world to mean those who hated him, those whose works are evil.
John 8:12 reads,
8:12Again,
therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the
light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness,
but will have the light of life."
The world is made up of those capable of following Yah'shuah.
Yah'shuah
Communicated Yahweh's Words To The World
John 8:25-26 reads,
8:25They
said therefore to him, "Who are you?"
Jesus said to them, "Just
what I have been saying to you from the beginning. 8:26I have many things
to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the
things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."
The people Yah'shuah spoke the words that he had heard from the Father are the ones he called the world. The world is basically made up of its inhabitants, who are generally doers of evil.
Yah'shuah Lit Up
The World When He Was Present On The Earth
John 9:1-5 reads,
9:1As
he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. 9:2His
disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he
was born blind?"
9:3Jesus
answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his
parents. But, that the works of God might be revealed in him, 9:4I must work the
works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can
work. 9:5When I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
9:5 can also be rendered, "when I am among the inhabitants of the earth, I am the light of the inhabitants of the earth."
Sceptics In The
World Do Not Believe The Words That The Father Sends To Them
John 10:34-38 reads,
10:34Jesus
answered them, "Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I
said, you are gods?’ 10:35If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the
Scripture can’t be broken), 10:36Do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into
the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God?’ 10:37If I don’t do the
works of my Father, don’t believe me. 10:38But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the
works; that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the
Father."
Among "the world" are sceptics - those who do not believe the words that the Father has sent to them through his servants.
The World Can Be
Swayed By Signs And Wonders
John 12:12-19 reads,
12:12On
the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard
that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 12:13they
took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried out,
"Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of
Israel!"
12:14Jesus,
having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written, 12:15"Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion.
Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt." 12:16His disciples didn’t understand these
things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these
things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him. 12:17The multitude therefore that was with him
when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was
testifying. 12:18For this cause also
the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
12:19The Pharisees therefore said
among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world
has gone after him."
The Pharisees equated the world with the multitude that had gone after Yah'shuah.
Those Who Believe
In Yah'shuah Depart From The Darkness Of The World
John 12:44-50 reads,
12:44Jesus
cried out and said, "Whoever believes in me,
believes not in me, but in him who sent me. 12:45He who sees me sees him who
sent me. 12:46I have come as a light into the world, that whoever
believes in me may not remain in the darkness. 12:47If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him.
For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 12:48He who rejects me,
and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke,
the same will judge him in the last day. 12:49For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he
gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 12:50I know that his
commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the
Father has said to me, so I speak."
Not All In The
World Belong To The World
John 13:1 reads,
13:1Now
before the feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that his time had come that he
would depart out of this world to his Father, having loved his own
who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
13:1 can also read, "now before the feast of the Passover, Yah'shuah knowing that his time had come that he would depart out from among the people inhabiting this earth to his Father, having loved his own who were among the people inhabiting this earth, he loved them to the end".
The World Does Not
Receive Attributes Of Righteousness
John 14:15-21 reads,
14:15If you love me, keep my commandments. 14:16I will pray to the
Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever, — 14:17the Spirit of
truth, whom the world can’t receive; for it doesn’t see him, neither
knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you. 14:18I will not leave
you orphans. I will come to you. 14:19Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more;
but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also. 14:20In that day you
will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 14:21One who has my
commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me
will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to
him."
The world - the people inhabiting this earth who do not keep Yah'shuah's commandments, are contrasted with those who inhabit this earth but keep Yah'shuah's commandments - those who love Yah'shuah.
John 14:22-31 reads,
14:22Judas
(not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what has happened that you are about to
reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?"
14:23Jesus
answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my
word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with
him. 14:24He who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which
you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me. 14:25I have said these
things to you, while still living with you. 14:26But the Counselor, the Holy
Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and
will remind you of all that I said to you. 14:27Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the
world gives, give I to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be
fearful. 14:28You heard how I told you, ‘I go away, and I come to you.’ If
you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I said ‘I am going to my
Father;’ for the Father is greater than I. 14:29Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it
happens, you may believe. 14:30I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the
world comes, and he has nothing in me. 14:31But that the world may know that I love the Father,
and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
The world is made up of those people who do not keep Yah'shuah's commandments, those people who do not love Yah'shuah. These people who do not love Yah'shuah have a prince - Satan!
The World Hates Those
Who Belong To Righteousness
John 15:17-25 reads,
15:17"I command these things to you, that you may love one
another. 15:18If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me
before it hated you. 15:19If you were of the world, the world would love
its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the
world, therefore the world hates you. 15:20Remember the word
that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they
persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will
keep yours also. 15:21But all these things will they do to you for my name’s sake,
because they don’t know him who sent me. 15:22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had
sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 15:23He who hates me,
hates my Father also. 15:24If I hadn’t done among them the works which no one else did,
they wouldn’t have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and
my Father. 15:25But that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their
law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
Among "the world" - those who do not love Yah'shuah and do not keep his commandments, were the Jews living during the time that he lived.
The Counsellor
Convicts The World About Sin
John 16:7-11 reads,
16:7Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage
that I go away, for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if
I go, I will send him to you. 16:8When he has come, he will convict the world about sin,
about righteousness, and about judgment; 16:9about sin, because they don’t believe in me; 16:10about
righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you see me no more; 16:11about judgment,
because the prince of this world has been judged.
The World Rejoiced
When Yah'shuah Was Killed
John 16:19-22 reads,
16:19Therefore
Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I
said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you
will see me?’ 16:20Most assuredly I tell you, that you will weep and lament, but
the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be
turned into joy. 16:21A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow, because her time
has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the
anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world. 16:22You therefore now
have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one
will take your joy away from you.
Yah'shuah Visited
The World For A Season
John 16:28 reads,
16:28I came out from the Father, and have come into the world.
Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."
The Righteous Have
Oppression In The World
John 16:33 reads,
16:33I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In
the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."
Those Belonging To
Yah'shuah Are The Redeemed From The World
John 17 reads,
17:1Jesus
said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your
Son may also glorify you; 17:2even as you gave him authority over all flesh, that to all
whom you have given him, he will give eternal life. 17:3This is eternal
life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent,
Jesus Christ. 17:4I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work
which you have given me to do. 17:5Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory
which I had with you before the world existed. 17:6I revealed your
name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were
yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word. 17:7Now they have known
that all things whatever you have given me are from you, 17:8for the words which
you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for
sure that I came forth from you, and they believed that you sent me. 17:9I pray for them. I
don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are
yours. 17:10All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I
am glorified in them. 17:11I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your
name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are. 17:12While I was with
them in the world, I kept them in your name.
Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost, except the son
of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 17:13But now I come to
you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made
full in themselves. 17:14I have given them your word. The world hated them, because
they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17:15I pray not that
you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil
one. 17:16They are not of the world even as I am not of the world. 17:17Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth. 17:18As you sent me
into the world, even so I sent them into the world. 17:19For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also
may be sanctified in truth. 17:20Neither for these only do I pray, but for those also who
believe in me through their word, 17:21that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and
I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that
you sent me. 17:22The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that
they may be one, even as we are one; 17:23I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into
one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you
loved me. 17:24Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be
with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for
you loved me before the foundation of the world. 17:25Righteous Father, the
world didn’t know you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me. 17:26I made known to
them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me
may be in them, and I in them."
Those To Belong To
Yah'shuah Must Cease To Hate Him And Begin To Love Him
17:6 notes that Yah'shuah's people came from "the world" - the group of people who do not love Yah'shuah and therefore do not keep Yah'shuah's commandments. In other words, those who are Yah'shuah's people must cease to hate Yah'shuah and commence to love him. They must cease to break his commandments and must commence and remain in keeping his commandments.
All Human Beings
Belong To Yahweh
It should also be noted from 17:6 that all human beings, whether or not they love Yah'shuah, belong to Yah'shuah's Father - Yahweh. Those who believe in Yah'shuah, those who love Yah'shuah, those who keep Yah'shuah's commandments, he gives to Yah'shuah. Seeing that not all human beings currently believe in, love or keep Yah'shuah's commandments, it is indeed the case that not all human beings have yet been given to Yah'shuah.
Humans Belonging
To Yah'shuah Still Belong To Yahweh
17:9 notes that the people who love Yah'shuah, whom Yahweh gives to Yah'shuah, do not cease being Yahweh's. In other words, whereas before they loved Yah'shuah they belonged to Yahweh and not to Yah'shuah, after they commenced to love Yah'shuah they belonged to both Yahweh and Yah'shuah. In other words, their ownership is now shared between both Yahweh and Yah'shuah, whereas before their love for Yah'shuah, the latter did not have ownership rights over them.
Yah'shuah's People
Are Kept In The Father's Name
17:12 shows that the manner Yah'shuah kept those whom the Father had given him was in the name of the Father. Following Yah'shuah's example, those who belong to Yah'shuah should ensure that they be kept in the Father's name.
For Preservation
In Salvation One Must Be Kept In The Father's Name
It should be noted that an effect of being kept in the Father's name is preservation in salvation - preservation in the fold of the Saviour - Yah'shuah. It therefore appears that for one to be and remain saved one must be kept or preserved in the Father's name.
How is one who belongs to Yah'shuah kept in the Father's name?
Yah'shuah Did Not
Forget His Saving Objective When Dealing With The World
17:21 notes an objective of the various requests in Yah'shuah's prayer to his Father - that the world may believe that he, the Father, sent Yah'shuah. In other words, the various works that Yah'shuah undertook were calculated to facilitate in those who did not love Yah'shuah coming round to loving Yah'shuah, keeping Yah'shuah's commandments, believing in Yah'shuah, and thereby being saved from everlasting death, being given, instead, everlasting life! In other words, Yah'shuah did not forget his objective in coming into the world - among those who hated him. He came among those who hated him that he may save them from everlasting death, giving them, instead, everlasting life!
Yah'shuah's
Disciples Should Act To Facilitate The Salvation Of The World
Learning from Yah'shuah his disciples should do as he did. They should undertake their various works to facilitate those who hate Yah'shuah coming round to believing in Yah'shuah, doing Yah'shuah's commandments, and loving Yah'shuah. In this these who hate Yah'shuah move from their state of everlasting death into the state of everlasting life.
Those Who Hate
Yah'shuah Do Not Keep His Commandments
17:23 reiterates the objective in 17:21 - the salvation of the world - those who hate Yah'shuah and do not observe Yah'shuah's commandments.
