“NO
WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU SHALL SUCCEED”
WHO CAN CLAIM THIS?
Isaiah
54: 17 No weapon formed against you shall succeed, and every tongue that
contends with you at law you shall defeat, such is the lot of the servants
of ETERNAL, such their triumph through Me.
How
many times have we heard this verse claimed as some kind of assurance by
people who have no concept of the work and purposes of the servants of
ETERNAL? In these troubled times, when there is talk of war, famine and
disease, the various pedlars of pagan beliefs will make their outrageous
claims of protection from ETERNAL who they do not understand or obey.
·
ETERNAL
says worship on the seventh day Sabbath.
·
ETERNAL
says He will not share His glory with another
·
ETERNAL
says obey the teaching and instruction Moses delivered
·
ETERNAL

·
ETERNAL
says keep His calendar and His appointed festivals
·
ETERNAL
says do not worship other g-ds
·
ETERNAL
says He will punish disobedience
·
ETERNAL
says no one else can save you from your own sins

ETERNAL
reveals the identity of the messiah and it’s not JC
People
who are servants of ETERNAL know that they have this protection because
their worshipstyle and lifestyle are in accordance with the clear teaching
of the Tanakh. Anything else is a deception and it will kill you and keep
you dead.
If
you read the whole Chapter 54 of Isaiah you will understand that ETERNAL is
calling you back to Himself – but He wants you to have understanding. Know
that these promises are for the servants of ETERNAL and that there is a very
high standard. Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, Jacob, Israel and Isaiah are
each described as servants of ETERNAL.
See
the conditions; your children shall be disciples of ETERNAL, you will be
established through righteousness so that you may be safe from oppression,
fear and ruin.
ETERNAL
says no harm can be done without His consent. He can provide havoc or
triumph but it is your choice. You have already made the choices that have
brought you to this point. Is it a blessed life of triumph, good health and
progress? If not, you would be wise to re-assess your choices. It is up to
you.
ETERNAL
promises that He will bring punishment on the shepherds [the pastors,
ministers, priests etc who mislead His people into pagan beliefs] but He
expects you to practice discernment. It does not matter how pretty, how
rich, how smooth, how talented or how popular the pagan pedlar is he, or
she, is stealing away your future. Every time you pray through someone else,
not direct to ETERNAL that’s pagan. Every time you worship on the wrong
day or some artificial festival [like easter or christmas] that’s pagan.
Study the Tanakh, seek the truth, become a servant of ETERNAL then you will
really know that no
weapon formed against you shall succeed.
