Debauchery
Debauchery
Tim O’Connor – Center for the Preservation of Humanity – 4/1/2023
There are 10 Commandments. In Exodus 20:3-17 (1) and Deuteronomy 5:6-21 (2) they are listed. Christians and Jews alike recognize these Commandments. It is a very basic moral code. It it the nuts and bolts of the Biblical moral code. Each of these ten is a chapter title of the 613 laws in the Torah. Yeshua summed them up in volumes I and II with his two rules. Which of these 10 chapters is the world not destroying. Which of these are the governments of the world not proudly legislating against? None of them. The leaders pay no heed to these because they are of their father the devil and the people they lead do not demand it because they are of the world created by their leaders and of the devil themselves.
The first one is a demand to have no other gods. There is one God who created everything – the universe, the trees, the people, and everything else. His name means breath because he literally spoke the universe into existence. His name alone is so holy that mortals are not to speak it because of the evil in our hearts. Nothing but this God, call Him God, Adonai, Hashem, Jehovah, Yahweh or anything else – NO deity is to be worshiped besides Him. That extends to spouses, possessions, money, other men, and anything else which is idolized – the second of the Commandments.
No government has any official recognition of this Commandment. While some governments adhere to the tenets of the Koran, the God of the Bible is endorsed by no government. Even many of the Islamic nations have adopted the secular humanism rife among the governments of the world. Secular humanism demands the worship of other men and/or one’s self. That is demonic. The fruits of this demonic intrusion into all governments in the world have borne fruit as to be expected. These governments relentlessly debase and dissuade any who seek to find God. Over time, more and more people followed the government’s direction, forgot about God, and sought refuge and salvation from men upon this earth – especially themselves. They preach a message of freedom from God and there is only one reason to do that – to lie, cheat, steal, and murder with impunity.
The governments have made itself the gods of this world. Look at the deification of Anthony Fauci. Look at the deification of Donald Trump (more on him later). Look at the demands to worship the experts and the leaders. Look at the persecution already set up and being planned for anyone who fails to exhibit the proper level of obeisance to these self-styled gods. The demands to revere democracy is an idol as well. Trust the dollar, trust the doctors, trust the government – in none of those areas is there any room for trust in God. In order to trust in any of these anti-God ideas, God needs to be rejected. The FED has waged outright war on God since 1913, modern medicine since the early 1900’s, and the governments of the world since governments were formulated.
The third Commandment orders humanity to not take God’s name in vain. Do not swear on the name of God and break the vow. Divorce would be far less common if this direction was followed. Lies would not spew forth from the mouths of jurors and witnesses. Donald Trump’s indictment is a clear indication of how far away the people and the government have gotten away from this Commandment. The witnesses lied through their teeth in order to convince a jury to indict a former president for non-criminal offenses. The jurors refused to serve the interests of justice by offering an indictment. The prosecutor has no truth in him whatsoever. Most of the criminals who handed down this politically motivated indictment swore an oath to God to seek truth and justice. Going forward it will be highly likely that everyone involved in Trump’s prosecution will violate this Commandment – particularly the Marxist mainstream media and the judge. The people routinely take the name of God in vain for trivial matters.
Commandment four is something that very few stay true to. It is not debatable that the first day of the week is Sunday and the seventh is Saturday. People can try to state whatever they want, the Sabbath is Saturday and it is immutable – set down by God. I urge anyone wanting to debate this to refer to Genesis 1:1 – 2:3 (3). The seventh day is for rest. Yeshua Himself observed Sabbath on Saturday and His command is to follow Him. I don’t care what men created institutions to redefine the day of the Sabbath – they failed to follow the teachings of Yeshua and His Father’s Commandment.
Certain parts the United States government are open on the seventh day. The US Post Office is a prime example of this. They work on the day of rest and rest on the day of the sun. Oddly enough, the prevailing belief in the times the Sabbath was changed by men was worship of the sun. Ra and later Apollo was the major deity of the sun in the Egyptian and Greco-Roman cultures, respectively. Ra took human sacrifices. Apollo also required human sacrifices. God demanded no human sacrifice, only obedience to His laws. The nations of the world, minus, perhaps, one, fail to respect or observe the Sabbath on Saturday. The people are, by and large, unaware of these changes and, if aware, dismissive of the Commandment for any of several reasons. Even when recognizing the Sabbath on Sunday’s; however, rest is not a particularly important part of the celebration.
Honoring one’s mother and father is being thankful they raised you, took care of you, and sacrificed for you. As we have moved away from the rest of the Commandments, this too, has been disregarded. Single-parent homes are all too common in this world. Too many non-custodial parents feel their obligations are fulfilled by paying money to the custodial parent. This results in children who do not know one of their parents at all or not very well. These children grow up in two different, sometimes diametrically opposed, familial situations with two sets of rules, two sets of punishments, and two sets of feelings – one for each parent. Resentment and alienation causes many of these children to heavily favor one parent over the other and to end up honoring neither of their parents. Governments, in conjunction with cultural and business influences, have decided to denigrate fathers by siding almost exclusively with mothers in custody battles, celebrating single mother homes, and pushing feminism. The people who reject God also reject the idea that their parents deserve any respect. Getting rid of fathers in the home these children are raised in makes that outcome even more prevalent.
Murder is seen as an increasingly attractive way to fix problems. From man-made climate change mitigation efforts including asking people to commit state-sponsored suicide, to the baby murder occurring around the world, the fifth Commandment is followed less and less. The entire world is being exterminated by medical interventions which are still being touted as safe and effective. Murder is no longer taboo – it is seen as a way to achieve political, social, and cultural goals. Those goals, the ones achieved only through first murdering the truth to pave the way to murder the people, are laid down by the Adversary. The demonically-aligned and inspired individuals murdering the truth and murdering the people have no use for this. Governments still sponsor the death-jabs and are looking forward to a new pandemic they can declare (real or imagined) to kill more people through famine, pestilence, and enforcement actions. The people didn’t wake up to the dangers in large enough numbers and willingly took lethal treatments and ineffective interventions designed to maim and murder. In this author’s opinion, just as many people follow Paul Ehrlich’s and Eric Pianka’s designs as do Yeshua’s. The followers of Ehrlich, Pianka, and others outnumber the followers of Yeshua by a large number in the governments of the world – an undisputable fact in light of recent events showing that our governments have deemed their people to be enemies.
The sixth Commandment is to not commit adultery. Yeshua stated that even looking with lust at another human being qualifies as having transgressed this Commandment. Governments and business entities promote pornography, encourage prostitution, and engage in both activities. Too many people are involved in the hook-up culture. Too many marriages are ‘open’. The culture pushes the government to legislate additional ‘freedoms’ from this Commandment. Polygamists have demanded their pretend ‘rights’ be legislated like gay-marriage was legislated. All sorts of other marital arrangements are also being sought. Violating this commandment will result in cultural acceptance of a world I refuse to accept – one where child sacrifice and cannibalism is ritualized. It is closely related to legislated same-sex-marriage and baby murder acceptance. As we have seen, the transgender mafia have no qualms about murdering believers while they demand their own set of rights. In the trans community there also exists a substantial population of so-called minor-attracted persons also known as pedophiles who rape children. Standing just behind the baby-rapists are the cannibals and the human-sacrifice proponents waiting for their turn to demand rights. As the culture has widely accepted adultery, it has open the door to all of this debauchery as well.
We have all seen any number of the countless videos of people walking out of stores in certain areas with hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars worth of merchandise. Laws protect these thieves if the total is not high enough. The way almost all governments tax us is purely based on theft. There always seem to be stories about rashes of break-in’s of homes, businesses, and car thefts at any given time in various communities at any given time. The people committing these crimes don’t care about human life and they certainly don’t care about taking other people’s possessions. Often they feel entitled to the property. Some governments have decided to legalize most of these activities. These same governments have also bent over backwards and tortured the languages of their land to ensure that legal owners of property are unable to effectively defend their property or themselves. All of these features contradict the eighth Commandment.
The ninth Commandment is all over the news right now – do not give false evidence against your neighbor. This has been a major problem throughout history. In the United States, Donald Trump is being ordered by a court to appear based completely of false evidence. In addition to the recent indictment – certain anti-human entities presented fabricated evidence against him involving collusion with Russia, being urinated on, and making claims that his actions in office constituted impeachable offenses, twice. Conversely, individuals who are actually corrupted beyond restitution or rehabilitation go unpunished and covered for. Good is called evil and evil is called good just as mentioned in Isaiah 5 (4).
Finally, there is the Commandment which states to not even want to take anything from anyone else. The US government just de facto nationalized all of the banks in the nation. By doing this the government will also be able to exert control over any business or individual reliant on banks. Toe the government-approved line or don’t get a loan. CBDC is a gross violation of the idea of not coveting other’s possessions. Individuals demanding reparations for slavery is nothing but coveting what others have and demanding it for one’s self. Not only have reparations, i.e. covetousness, been rationalized by many so-called victims, it has been accepted as a legitimate position and it has been realized in several places.
The world’s norm is not just a violation of the 10 Commandments. The world’s norm is openly demanding all of these tenets to be broken. Even some Christians have decided these Commandments do not apply to them. As a result they, too, have embraced a doctrine of demons and joined billions of others on this planet who refuse to acknowledge the primacy of God. Particularly in these Christian-in-name-only circles, a danger lurks. As they follow the world, they also claim their faith is correct and is the justification of the world’s way, not what Yeshua preached nor what God commanded. These people are fully described in 2 Timothy 3 (5) and Revelation 22 (6).
With the falling away from Torah, even to the point of disregarding the 10 Commandments because they, too, occur in the Old Testament, the rise of demonic influences has manifested themselves. In modern history these influences are responsible for evolution, eugenics, several waves of feminism, humanism, and many other false ideologies. Perhaps the most potent though is Marxism. It, too, contains ten commandments referred to as planks. I don’t think this was done by accident – Marx and Engels absolutely hated those of faith. The reason that the United States is about to, literally, fall apart socially, economically, and culturally, is because of the intrusion of these planks in the minds of the people and the adoption of these planks by the government.
The planks go as follows:
1. Abolition of Property in Land and Application of all Rents of Land to Public Purpose.
2. A Heavy Progressive or Graduated Income Tax.
3. Abolition of All Rights of Inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the Property of All Emigrants and Rebels.
5. Centralization of Credit in the Hands of the State, by Means of a National Bank with State Capital and an Exclusive Monopoly.
6. Centralization of the Means of Communication and Transport in the Hands of the State.
7. Extension of Factories and Instruments of Production Owned by the State, the Bringing Into Cultivation of Waste Lands, and the Improvement of the Soil Generally in Accordance with a Common Plan.
8. Equal Liability of All to Labor. Establishment of Industrial Armies, Especially for Agriculture.
9. Combination of Agriculture with Manufacturing Industries; Gradual Abolition of the Distinction Between Town and Country by a More Equable Distribution of the Population over the Country.
10. Free Education for All Children in Public Schools. Abolition of Children's Factory Labor in it's Present Form. Combination of Education with Industrial Production.
All of these tenets feature theft. By stealing these things, they are able to destroy all of the rest of God’s Commandments. There is no room for God, first of all. They do their best to erase and suppress any mention of God unless the reference is in relation to the state and the worship of it. Huge posters of the leaders face appear everywhere in Marxist societies – reverence and awe is expected. By calling the state God, those subjected to Marxist society are told they will go to prison if they don’t take God’s name in vain by revering the state. They have no use for parents because the state is the parent. Marxists have never been shy about their desire to murder anyone who does not bow down to them. They demand sexual favors from anyone they desire and often use rape as a control mechanism. Everything a Marxist does is theft. They rely on false testimony to imprison their rivals and stifle dissent. They covet everything – even the most meager ration and clothing of the most abused prisoner under their subjugation.
The United States is dead. The United States has been turned over to a reprobate leadership in full and supported by a minority of imbeciles, idiots, Marxists, and socialists who not only hate the idea of America but the God which inspired the morality of America. Destroying America, in their debauched minds, using their deceitful logic, is one more thing inspired by God which they see as their duty to destroy. If the United States is permitted to exist in any form in the future a return to God’s ways is paramount for rebuilding a nation blessed once more.
Those following the way of Yeshua, the way of Torah, or both (which is, actually, what happens when one fulfills Torah or follows Yeshua) – not the way of the world – are about to be persecuted like the world has never seen. The debauchery promised to believers by the deranged who have become ambassadors of the Adversary will, in my opinion, be upon the earth very soon. They seek to extinguish God’s children, the message of God, and the protection of God. Believers realize that the winner of this war is God; however, and rejoice that the day comes when all are judged, great and small, rich and poor. Until then we must persevere through the debauchery and rise of the short-lived Satanic, global, empire.
The most important thing to do should be increasingly apparent – get right with God. Yes, protest the injustices, but have those protests rooted firmly in the desires God has for each of us. Study the Bible, pray, and seek discernment, wisdom, temperance, and instruction. Perhaps the days of actual tribulation are not upon us yet. The beast system is being rolled out and operationalized at the very least. Whether that day comes tomorrow or 500 years from now – no one but God Himself knows., Until the very last; however, we have been instructed to set ourselves apart and to follow, not reject, His Commandments.
Bless God and God bless.

(1) Exodus 20:3-17
3 “You are to have no other gods before me. 4 You are not to make for yourselves a carved image or any kind of representation of anything in heaven above, on the earth beneath or in the water below the shoreline. 5 You are not to bow down to them or serve them; for I, Adonai your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sins of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but displaying grace to the thousandth generation of those who love me and obey my mitzvot.
ג 7 “You are not to use lightly the name of Adonai your God, because Adonai will not leave unpunished someone who uses his name lightly.
ד 8 “Remember the day, Shabbat, to set it apart for God. 9 You have six days to labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Shabbat for Adonai your God. On it, you are not to do any kind of work — not you, your son or your daughter, not your male or female slave, not your livestock, and not the foreigner staying with you inside the gates to your property. 11 For in six days, Adonai made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them; but on the seventh day he rested. This is why Adonai blessed the day, Shabbat, and separated it for himself.

(3) Genesis 1:1-2:3
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was unformed and void, darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God hovered over the surface of the water. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. So there was evening, and there was morning, one day.
6 God said, “Let there be a dome in the middle of the water; let it divide the water from the water.” 7 God made the dome and divided the water under the dome from the water above the dome; that is how it was, 8 and God called the dome Sky. So there was evening, and there was morning, a second day.
9 God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let dry land appear,” and that is how it was. 10 God called the dry land Earth, the gathering together of the water he called Seas, and God saw that it was good.
11 God said, “Let the earth put forth grass, seed-producing plants, and fruit trees, each yielding its own kind of seed-bearing fruit, on the earth”; and that is how it was. 12 The earth brought forth grass, plants each yielding its own kind of seed, and trees each producing its own kind of seed-bearing fruit; and God saw that it was good. 13 So there was evening, and there was morning, a third day.
14 God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to divide the day from the night; let them be for signs, seasons, days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the dome of the sky to give light to the earth”; and that is how it was. 16 God made the two great lights — the larger light to rule the day and the smaller light to rule the night — and the stars. 17 God put them in the dome of the sky to give light to the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. 19 So there was evening, and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 God said, “Let the water swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open dome of the sky.” 21 God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that creeps, so that the water swarmed with all kinds of them, and there was every kind of winged bird; and God saw that it was good. 22 Then God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, multiply and fill the water of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 So there was evening, and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 God said, “Let the earth bring forth each kind of living creature — each kind of livestock, crawling animal and wild beast”; and that is how it was. 25 God made each kind of wild beast, each kind of livestock and every kind of animal that crawls along the ground; and God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, in the likeness of ourselves; and let them rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the animals, and over all the earth, and over every crawling creature that crawls on the earth.”
27 So God created humankind in his own image; in the image of God he created him: male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them: God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air and every living creature that crawls on the earth.” 29 Then God said, “Here! Throughout the whole earth I am giving you as food every seed-bearing plant and every tree with seed-bearing fruit. 30 And to every wild animal, bird in the air and creature crawling on the earth, in which there is a living soul, I am giving as food every kind of green plant.” And that is how it was. 31 God saw everything that he had made, and indeed it was very good. So there was evening, and there was morning, a sixth day.
2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, along with everything in them. 2 On the seventh day God was finished with his work which he had made, so he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 God blessed the seventh day and separated it as holy; because on that day God rested from all his work which he had created, so that it itself could produce.
(4) Isaiah 5
5:1 I want to sing a song for someone I love,
a song about my loved one and his vineyard.
My loved one had a vineyard
on a very fertile hill.
2 He dug up its stones and cleared them away,
planted it with the choicest vines,
built a watchtower in the middle of it,
and carved out in its rock a winepress.
He expected it to produce good grapes,
but it produced only sour, wild grapes.
3 Now, citizens of Yerushalayim and people of Y’hudah,
judge between me and my vineyard.
4 What more could I have done for my vineyard
that I haven’t already done in it?
So why, when I expected good grapes,
did it produce sour, wild grapes?
5 Now come, I will tell you
what I will do to my vineyard:
I will remove its hedge,
and [its grapes] will be eaten up;
I will break through its fence,
and [its vines] will be trampled down.
6 I will let it go to waste:
it will be neither pruned nor hoed,
but overgrown with briars and thorns.
I will also order the clouds
not to let rain fall on it.
7 Now the vineyard of Adonai-Tzva’ot
is the house of Isra’el,
and the men of Y’hudah
are the plant he delighted in.
So he expected justice,
but look — bloodshed! —
and righteousness, but listen —
cries of distress!
8 Woe to those who add house to house
and join field to field,
until there’s no room for anyone else,
and you live in splendor alone on your land.
9 Adonai-Tzva’ot said in my ears,
“Many houses will be brought to ruin,
large, magnificent ones left empty;
10 for a ten-acre vineyard will produce
only five gallons of wine,
and seed from five bushels of grain
will yield but half a bushel.”
11 Woe to those who get up early
to pursue intoxicating liquor;
who stay up late at night,
until wine inflames them.
12 They have lutes and lyres, drums and flutes,
and wine at their parties;
but they pay no attention to how Adonai works
and never look at what his hands have made.
13 For such lack of knowledge
my people go into exile;
this is also why their respected men starve
and their masses are parched from thirst.
14 Therefore Sh’ol has enlarged itself
and opened its limitless jaws —
and down go their nobles and masses,
along with their noise and revels.
15 The masses are lowered, the nobles are humbled —
proud looks will be brought down.
16 But Adonai-Tzva’ot is exalted through justice,
God the Holy One is consecrated through righteousness.
17 Then lambs will be able to feed
as if they were in their own pasture,
and those wandering through will eat
from the ruined fields of the overfed.
18 Woe to those who begin by pulling
at transgression with a thread,
but end by dragging sin along
as if with a cart rope.
19 They say, “We want God to speed up his work,
to hurry it along, so we can see it!
We want the Holy One of Isra’el’s plan
to come true right now, so we can be sure of it!”
20 Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who change darkness into light
and light into darkness,
who change bitter into sweet
and sweet into bitter!
21 Woe to those seeing themselves as wise,
esteeming themselves as clever.
22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine,
men whose power goes to mixing strong drinks,
23 who acquit the guilty for bribes
but deny justice to the righteous!
24 Therefore, as fire licks up the stubble,
and the chaff is consumed in the flame;
so their root will rot,
and their flowers scatter like dust;
because they have rejected the Torah
of Adonai-Tzva’ot,
they have despised the word
of the Holy One of Isra’el.
25 This is why Adonai’s anger blazed up against his people,
why he stretched out his hand against them and struck them
[so hard that] the hills shook,
and corpses lay like trash in the streets.
Even after all this, his anger remains,
his upraised hand still threatens.
26 He will give a signal to faraway nations,
he will whistle for them to come
from the ends of the earth;
and here they come, so fast! —
27 none of them tired or stumbling,
none of them sleeping or drowsy,
none with a loose belt,
none with a broken sandal-strap.
28 Their arrows are sharp,
all their bows are strung,
their horses’ hoofs are like flint,
and their [chariot] wheels like a whirlwind.
29 They will roar like lions —
yes, roaring like young lions,
they growl and seize the prey
and carry it off, with no one to rescue.
30 On that day they will growl at them,
like the sea when it growls —
and when one looks toward land,
one sees darkness closing in;
the light is dissipated
in the obscuring overcast.
(5) 2 Timothy 3:1-9
3 Moreover, understand this: in the acharit-hayamim will come trying times. 2 People will be self-loving, money-loving, proud, arrogant, insulting, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, uncontrolled, brutal, hateful of good, 4 traitorous, headstrong, swollen with conceit, loving pleasure rather than God, 5 as they retain the outer form of religion but deny its power.
Stay away from these people! 6 For some of them worm their way into homes and get control of weak-willed women who are heaped with sins and swayed by various impulses, 7 who are always learning but never able to come to full knowledge of the truth. 8 In the same way as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moshe, so also these people oppose the truth. They are people with corrupted minds, whose trust cannot pass the test. 9 However, they won’t get very far; because everyone will see how stupid they are, just as happened with those two.
10 But you, you have closely followed my teaching, conduct, purpose in life, trust, steadfastness, love and perseverance — 11 as well as the persecutions and sufferings that came my way in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12 And indeed, all who want to live a godly life united with the Messiah Yeshua will be persecuted, 13 while evil people and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving others and being deceived themselves.
14 But you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, recalling the people from whom you learned it; 15 and recalling too how from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which can give you the wisdom that leads to deliverance through trusting in Yeshua the Messiah. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is valuable for teaching the truth, convicting of sin, correcting faults and training in right living; 17 thus anyone who belongs to God may be fully equipped for every good work.
(6) Revelation 22
1 Next the angel showed me the river of the water of life, sparkling like crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 Between the main street and the river was the Tree of Life producing twelve kinds of fruit, a different kind every month; and the leaves of the tree were for healing the nations — 3 no longer will there be any curses. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will worship him; 4 they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 Night will no longer exist, so they will need neither the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because Adonai, God, will shine upon them. And they will reign as kings forever and ever.
6 Then he said to me, “These words are true and trustworthy: Adonai, God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must happen soon.”
7 “Look! I am coming very soon. Blessed is the person who obeys the words of the prophecy written in this book!”
8 Then I, Yochanan, the one hearing and seeing these things, when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel showing them to me. 9 But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am only a fellow-servant with you and your brothers, the prophets and the people who obey the words in this book. Worship God!”
10 Then he said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy in this book,[a] because the time of their fulfillment is near.
11 “Whoever keeps acting wickedly, let him go on acting wickedly;
whoever is filthy, let him go on being made filthy.
“Also, whoever is righteous, let him go on doing what is righteous;
and whoever is holy, let him go on being made holy.”
12 “Pay attention!” [says Yeshua,] “I am coming soon, and my rewards are with me to give to each person according to what he has done. 13 I am the ‘A’ and the ‘Z,’ the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
14 How blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they have the right to eat from the Tree of Life and go through the gates into the city! 15 Outside are the homosexuals, those involved with the occult and with drugs, the sexually immoral, murderers, idol-worshippers, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. 16 “I, Yeshua, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Messianic communities. I am the Root and Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star. 17 The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come!’ Let anyone who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let anyone who is thirsty come — let anyone who wishes, take the water of life free of charge.”
18 I warn everyone hearing the words of the prophecy in this book that if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues written in this book. 19 And if anyone takes anything away from the words in the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the Tree of Life and the holy city, as described in this book.
20 “The one who is testifying to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon!’”
Amen! Come, Lord Yeshua!
21 May the grace of the Lord Yeshua be with all!
