“Am I My Brother’s Keeper?” is part 3 in the video series Set-Apart Communities. The goal of this series is to answer questions about set-apart community. But in order to answer those questions, we first need to understand the spirit behind set-apart community. Because living in set-apart community requires having the Spirit of Elohim. When we have His Spirit and walk in it, we want to live in set-apart community, and basically nothing else will do. And when we do not have the Spirit, set-apart community becomes impossible.

Romim (Romans) 12:1-2
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of Elohim, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, set-apart, acceptable to Elohim, which is your reasonable service.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of Elohim.

Flesh versus spirit

Our very human nature is selfish. We want to get for ourselves, and we really do not think so much about what happens to other people. Really, we are just concerned for ourselves.

Our Jewish brethren in the land of Israel have a saying about this and they mock this kind of an attitude. It is what they call the Yetzer Hara, or the evil inclination. When they mock it they say, “What I want and everyone else can die!”

That is basically the way human beings are. We are concerned about ourselves and not truly concerned about communities beyond our own immediate family, at least not in our flesh. It is something else that is transformed that goes beyond the flesh, and that is what leads to true community.

The end times

We are entering into the end times. And if in fact, we are not already there, it is coming upon us very, very quickly.

As we explain in the book study Revelation and the End Times, as well as in the video series Revelation Simplified, right now we believe we are around the time of the sixth seal. We are awaiting a war, and then after that comes the sealing of the hundred and forty-four thousand. The seventh seal opens and comes to the seven trumpets, or the seven years of tribulation, the second half being the Time of Jacob’s Trouble. It is going to be a time so difficult that we can barely even imagine it now.

And then Babylon falls at trumpet seven. Then the cup (vial or bowl) judgments are poured out and then after that comes Armageddon (or the wedding feast). And after Armageddon comes the ingathering, when the harvest is brought back to the land of Israel.

And then we settle in the land of Israel and eventually we end up with what is called the Nasi of Ezekiel 44-46. The Nasi is effectively a constitutional prince. So yes, he is a prince, and it is a hereditary rulership position, but he has laws he has to obey. He must obey Yahweh’s Torah constitutionally.

What does Yahweh want?

This is going to be an amazing time. We will have to get through some rough times first. But we know that Elohim is going to use these times to refine His people, so that we are ready to reign and rule over His kingdom for the Millenium.

Tehillim (Psalms) 2:7-9
7 [Yeshua says] “I will declare the decree:
Yahweh has said to Me, “You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”

Hitgalut (Revelation) 2:26-27
26 “And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations –
27 ‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron’ they shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessel – as I also have received from My Father…”

Am I My Brother’s Keeper?

One thing that is most important about this is the way things are going to have to work. In this video presentation and in future portions, we are going to see exactly how the building blocks fit together, how Yahweh wants his people to live in set-apart communities, and how this is going to lead to the Millennial reign of the Messiah on the far side of the tribulation, Armageddon, and the ingathering.

Hitgalut (Revelation) 3:7a, 10
7a “And to the messenger of the assembly in Philadelphia write, …
10 “Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.”
[Philadelphia means true brotherly love or fraternal love. You cannot change the government of man until you change the spirit in man.]

B’reisheet (Genesis) 4:8
8 Now Qayin [Cain] talked with Hevel [Abel] his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Qayin rose up against Hevel his brother and killed him.
9 Then Yahweh said to Qayin, “Where is Hevel your brother?”
10 [Qayin] said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”

Marqaus (Mark) 3:33-35
33 But He [Yeshua] answered them, saying, “Who is My mother, or My brothers?”
34 And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!”
35 For whoever does the will of Elohim is My brother and My sister and mother.”
