We are NOT from this World

Are you aware that we have 2 worlds? The one we live in and the world of Yahweh. Today I am going to talk about these worlds. We are living in a world that we can see and Yahweh is the righteous owner of this world, because He created it.

We can read this in:

Genesis 1:1

In the beginning Yahweh created the heavens and the earth.

Yahweh gave us the task to rule over the creation on earth. We read this in:

Genesis 1:28

Yahweh blessed them; and Yahweh said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 

When Adam and Eve sinned, there came a change in this world. Eve believed satan more then Yahweh. And Adam was obeying his wife. We human beings continued sinning. This way satan became our father instead of Yahweh. We were still the rulers of the earth, but we became bad rulers because we learned bad things from satan. Whole creation started to suffer because of our sins. And satan became the person who had control over the whole earth. In Matthew and Luke we can read about this:

Matthew 4:8-9

Again, the devil took Yeshua, to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; and he said to Him, “All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.” 

Luke 4:5-6

And he, the devil, led Yeshua up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 

Satan offered Yeshua all the kingdoms on the earth. The only thing Yeshua had to do is to worship satan, the devil, one time. Satan can only give from what he owns. He owns everything because we gave it in his hands. Because we listened all the time to satan instead of Yahweh. Satan owns this world. 

When we start to believe in Yeshua, we become children of Yahweh. This means that we start to listen to Yahweh again. Yahweh becomes our Father. And this has big consequences for us. 

Lets read:

Galatians 6:14

But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 

This world is filled with evil and many sinful things we can do in this world. But we're not allowed to sin anymore. Because Yahweh hates sins. That's why we have to say no to all the bad things of this world. To be crucified for the world and the world is crucified for you means that you live like this world is not excisting anymore for you.

We continue to read: 

John 17:13-17

But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. 

Here Yeshua prays to Yahweh, His Father. Yeshua prays for us. He asked Yahweh to protect us against satan. And He asks Yahweh to sanctify us with Yahweh's Word. To be sanctified means that you stop sinning. Yeshua says that He is not from this world. He says also that we’re not from this world. That's why this world hates us. We listen to Yahweh. We live by Yahweh's rules and norms. That's why we are treated like strangers in this world. Satan hates it that we don't listen to him anymore. He tries to let us sin again. If this doesn't work, he will persecute us. In the worst case he kills us. That's why we need Yahweh's protection. 

Because we listen to Yahweh, we will have eternal life in Yahweh's Kingdom on a new earth. Yahweh's Kingdom is not on earth yet, but Yahweh’s Kingdom is our world already. We suppose to live in Yahweh’s world instead of surviving in satan's world. We have to say no to satan's world. We are living in his world, but we’re not from his world.

Yahweh’s Kingdom is a peaceful Kingdom with much love and joy. It is better to suffer in this world now because of Yahweh and Yeshua. If we don't listen to Yahweh we will suffer in eternity. And that's a very long time, because it never stops. It is far much better to listen to Yahweh and to enjoy His peace and His blessings and to be ensured that we can live in His Kingdom forever.
