plan, and execute, as if they acted by a positive law, and were strictly enjoined to do what they so much delighted in.
They gather
themselves together

And the seventh messenger poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the Dwelling Place of the
heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
against the soul of the righteous;
or "the life"
of them; in order to take away their lives; to cut them off, root and branch, and destroy at once the whole interest of Yahweh’shua; for it will be to make war with him, and them his followers, who
are the righteous here meant, made so by his righteousness, that they will be gathered together in such great numbers:
and condemn the innocent blood;
condemn innocent
persons to death, shed their blood, and drink it, and to such a degree as to be drunk with it; for in them will be found the
blood of the prophets and saints, and of all that are slain on earth,

And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the set-apart ones, and with the blood of the witnesses of יהושע. And having seen her, I marvelled – greatly marvelled!

Hab 1:13
You, whose eyes are too clean to see evil, You are not able to
look on wrong. Why do You look on those
who act
treacherously – keep silent when the wrong devours one
more righteous than he?
Yahweh’shua with his eyes of omniscience beholds all things good
and evil, and all men good and bad, with all their actions; but then he does not look upon the sins of men with pleasure and
approbation; since they are contrary to his nature, repugnant to his will, and breaches of his righteous law: All sin is hateful
in Yahweh’s sight, and in His Holy Wisdom He cannot endure to “look toward iniquity.” As man turns away
from sickening sights, so yahweh’s abhorrence of wrong is pictured by His not being able to “look toward it.”
If He looked toward them, they must perish
Psa_104:32.
Who looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
Treacherously
TREACHEROUSLY, adv. trech'erously. By violating

NEW TESTAMENT
Mat 7:23
“And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never
knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!“
But beware of the false
prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are savage wolves For I know this,
that after my departure savage wolves Also from among yourselves
men shall arise, speaking distorted teachings, to draw away the taught ones after themselves. shall come
in among you, not sparing the flock. But there also came to be false prophets among the people, as also among
you there shall be false teachers, who shall secretly bring in destructive heresies, and deny the Master who bought
them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. “licentiousness” For certain men have slipped in,
whose judgment was written about long ago, wicked ones perverting the favour of our Elohim for indecency, and
denying the only Master יהוה
and our Master יהושע Messiah. False doctrine and immoral practice generally go together For speaking
arrogant nonsense, they entice – through th lusts of the flesh, through indecencies – the ones
who have indeed escaped from those living in delusion, promising them freedom, though themselves being slaves
of corruption – for one is a slave to whatever overcomes him. “on account of whom,” namely, the followers
of the false teachers “blasphemed” by those without, who shall lay on Christianity itself the
blame of its professors’ evil practice. having your behaviour among the gentiles good so that when
they speak against you as evil-doers, let them, by observing your good works,1“Let your light
so shine before men, so that they see your good works and praise your Father who is in the heavens.
esteem Elohim in a day of visitationBut beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing,
but inwardly they are savage wolves.“By their fruits you shall know them. Are grapes gathered from
thornbushes or figs from thistles? “So every good tree yields good
fruit, but a rotten tree yields wicked fruit. “A good tree is unable to
yield wicked fruit, and a rotten tree to yield good fruit. “Every
tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
“So then, by their fruits you shall know them – “Not
everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he
who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens. “Many
shall say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your
Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?’ “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never
knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!
By false prophets we are to understand
teachers of erroneous doctrines, who come professing a commission from yahweh, but whose aim is not to bring the heavenly
treasure to the people, but rather to rob them of their earthly good. Teachers who preach for hire, having no motive to enter
into the ministry but to get a living, as it is ominously called by some, however they may bear the garb and appearance of
the innocent useful sheep, the true pastors commissioned by the Yahweh’shua, or to whatever name, class or party they
may belong, are, in the sight of the heart-searching yahweh, no other than ravenous wolves, whose design is to feed themselves
with the fat, and clothe themselves with the fleece, and thus ruin, instead of save, the flock.

Luk 13:27
“But
He shall say, ‘I say to you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of unrighteousness.’
Psa_1:6;
For יהוה knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wrong comes to naught.
The wicked would not stand in the judgment with the righteous.
2Ti_2:19;
However, the solid foundation of Elohim stands firm, having this seal, “יהוה knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone
who names the Name of Messiah turn away from unrighteous-ness.”
1Co_8:3.
But if anyone loves Elohim, this one is known by Him.
- In that way which
the commandment requires, which will necessarily beget love to his neighbor, the same is known of him - is approved of God,
and acknowledged as his genuine follower.
This
proves that, with all their pretensions, they had never been true followers of yahweh’shua. Yahweh’shua will not then say to false prophets and false professors of religion that he had once
known them and then rejected them; that they had been once Messianites and then had fallen away; that they had been pardoned
and then had apostatized but that he had never known them - they had never been true Followers. Whatever might have been their
pretended joys, their raptures, their hopes, their self-confidence, their visions, their zeal, they had never been regarded
by the Saviour as his true friends. I do not know of a more decided proof that messianites do
not fall from grace than this text. It settles the question; and proves that whatever else such people had, they never had
any true religion.
1Jo_2:17-19.
And the world passes away, and the lust
of it, but the one doing the desire of Elohim remains
forever.
Little children, it is the last hour. And as you have heard that the anti-messiah is
coming, even now many anti-messiahs have
come. This is how we know that it is the last hour.
They went out from us, but they were not of us, for if they
had been of us, they would have stayed with us – but in order that it might be made manifest that none of them were
of us.
