Proverbs 14:28
In the multitude of people is the king's honour:
But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
Yeshua haMashiach also knows this, but He will not compromise standards for numbers.
Believers in Yeshua today are in great numbers in the world. One could almost conclude that they are the majority. It seems to me though that our beloved King is a victim of identity theft. Imposters use His name. It started right at Mt Sinai when Aaron formed and carved the golden calf at people’s requests. When he was done he said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. Right then, God’s credit was given to something else: an idol. That is identity theft.
Don’t we have the same situation today? The words of Yeshua our King are specifically recorded in our Bibles; His apostles also give account of His practices and ways but many today, just as happened at Mt Sinai, have succeeded to create their own form of righteousness and call it by His name. That is probably why Yeshua projected the following endtime scenario of His return: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (the Greek word for ‘iniquity’ means: lawlessness). Matthew 7:22-23. He said, shall Hhe find faith on the earth? Luke 18:8
He knows His own and even though His present true followers may be few, His devotees will be as the sand of the sea and as the stars of the heavens. Not lukewarm adulterated devotees, but red-hot with the Truth of the Word that created the universe.
