The Counterfeit Counsel of Peace

Shalom In Yahshua and welcome once again to our study of Yahshua as revealed to us in  Hebrews 1.

Before we consider the outstanding balance of the portion of Scripture under consideration, namely the latter part Heb.1:2 and Heb.1:3,4 it would be remiss of me not to touch on an equally important matter. The matter we wish to share is the subject of the Counterfeit Peace which we are fast rushing towards. 

But, before we consider this matter, we wish to make a few points regarding the personal instruction derived from our previous post 'The Mystery of The Ages'.


We noticed how Yahshua, sacrificed Himself to restore eternal peace and security throughout the universe of Elohim. This sacrifice is no less made by YHWH than Yahshua. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (Jn.3:16) So the Plan of Redemption was birthed in self sacrifice and it will be completed in the same. And what does this mean for us? Well, on a personal level, we must be like minded. (Rom.12:1-2;Lk.9:23) If we want to have greater peace and unity in our lives and homes, then we must pray for the attributes of submission and humility; and practice them. For the sake of all we must pray for willingness to submit one to another.(Jam.4:7; 1Pe. 5:5) 


And as parents, we see YHWH and YAHSHUA making sacrifices for the eternal happiness and security of all, we can learn to do the same in our sphere as Elohim did/does in His sphere(1Pe.1:15,16) This will, in most cases, set the tone and pace for the children to follow as we lead  the way; as noted by the heavenly angels cooperating with God in the Plan of Redemption.


The Counterfeit Counsel of Peace:

We see throughout the Scriptures the counterfeit working of Satan. The Scriptures teach in many ways the opposite and opposing force of the powers of darkness. In the opening verses in Genesis 1 we see darkness and then light. Satan is often represented as darkness and Elohim as light. We have error and The Truth; death and life, evil and good, the sheep and the goats, the wheat and tares, those on YHWH'S right hand, and those on the left. We have in the Scriptures YHWH's appointed times and ways of true worship and than there is Satan's appointed times and ways of false worship. For example we have in the Torah (aka OT) the sacrificial system (with animal sacrifices)  and we have paganism(with human sacrifices). We have the teaching of the One true God and we have the pagan teaching of many gods. 


So we should not be surprised of the Counterfeit Counsel of Peace.
In Psalms 1:1 we have the warning not to walk in the counsel of the ungodly. And what is the 'counsel of the ungodly' as it pertains to us living here in the end of days? (Ps.2:2) It is the ungodly counsel of the kings and rulers of the earth. What is the purpose of this Counterfeit Counsel of Peace? (Ps. 2:3; Ps.31:13; Ps.71:10;Ps.83:3;Ps.106:13Ps. 94:21) Will it involve the implementation of an ungodly worship law?(Ps. 94:20; Rev.13:15;) Will it be insurrection to YHWH's Counsel of Peace? Ps.64:2 Ps.119:126; Is the Counterfeit Counsel of Peace made to establish peace? (1Th. 5:3) But it will not bring real peace. Is the false Counsel of Peace a secret counsel? (Ps.64:2; Isa.29:15; Isa.30:1)

The false Counsel of Peace will sound very good and real. But it will not stand. It is called by several names like the New World Order, World Order, Global Community, The Thousand Years of Peace. But it cannot bring world peace because it is not of God. (Ps.107:11;Prov.1:25; Prov.1:30)


YHWH desires us to (Prov.19:20; Eccl.8:2; Rev.12:17; Rev.14:12) because  (Isa.28:29)  (Ps.78:7)


In closing we leave you with this thought:

"Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure" (Isa.46:10)

  2. Dear Yuri,
    It was good to hear from you. I know from experience that you will be greatly blessed by your study of Hebrews. It is a very important point you make concerning God's sacrifice hand-in-hand with His Son's sacrifice. I don't think many of us really take the time to meditate on how great a cost those sacrifices were! May God continue to bless you.
