The Blaque Scroll

For generations, a captivating story has been told in pulpits and on pages: the "Rapture." It’s a tale of believers vanishing in the blink of an eye, whisked away to safety before a period of immense earthly suffering.  It’s a comforting thought, an ultimate escape plan. But what if this popular doctrine is one of the greatest deceptions of our time—a "lie that is not in the Bible"? The recent failed predictions for September 2025 are just the latest in a long line of evidence that the pre-tribulation Rapture is a story that crumbles under scrutiny. Let's break down why this doctrine fails when tested against scripture, history, logic, and ethics. 1. The Biblical Evidence Simply Isn’t There Proponents of the Rapture often point to a few key verses, but a closer look reveals they've been stripped of their original context. 1   Thessalonians 4:16–17: This is the cornerstone text, describing believers being " caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in th...

This commandment doesn’t police behavior—it pierces desire. It’s the final layer of the covenant, aimed directly at the heart. " Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house... nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s." (Exodus 20:17) Desire Distorted Coveting is the quiet rebellion. It’s the inward craving for what was never yours to hold. That could be someone else’s relationship, status, influence, or favor. It’s not theft. It’s the seed of theft. The whisper that says, “Yahuah hasn’t given me enough.” This commandment exposes the root system. It forces us to confront envy, entitlement, and the hunger for someone else’s portion. It reminds us that sin begins in the imagination long before it touches the hand. Contentment Is Covenant To covet is to accuse Yahuah of withholding. It’s a rejection of His timing, His provision, and His wisdom. But contentment is covenantal. It’s the posture of trust—the quiet confidence that He knows what we need and when we need it. Pa...

This commandment protects the integrity of truth in every covenant. It’s not just about avoiding lies—it’s about refusing to distort, dodge, or rewrite reality. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour." (Exodus 20:16) Truth Is Covenant To lie is to fracture trust. It’s a betrayal of the bond between souls. Whether through gossip, flattery, omission, or exaggeration, falsehood erodes the foundation of community. Yahuah is truth. His Word is unshakable. When we lie—especially about someone made in His image—we’re not just misrepresenting them. We’re misrepresenting Him. This commandment calls for emotional honesty. It demands that we name things rightly, even when it’s uncomfortable. It confronts the revisionism that creeps into relationships—the subtle edits, the passive dodging, the false peace. The Weight of Our Words Words are sacred. They carry the power to build or destroy. Yahusha said, “ Let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’” (Matth...

Few wounds cut as deep as betrayal in love. The Seventh Commandment doesn’t just guard against a private act—it protects trust, family, and the very foundation of society itself. The fifth commandment shields the family structure, the sixth guards life, and now the seventh safeguards the sacred bond between a man and a woman. “ Thou shalt not commit adultery .” (Exodus 20:14) Protecting the Covenant Adultery is more than just a private act of infidelity. It is a fundamental betrayal of a public and sacred covenant. Marriage is the cornerstone of society, and this commandment is designed to protect its stability. When the covenant is broken, the ripple effect damages the family, children, and the entire community. This law is a direct reflection of the faithfulness of Yahuah. Since He is a covenant-keeping Elohim, He demands the same fidelity from His people in their most intimate earthly relationships. Adultery of the Heart Just like murder, the Law of Adultery begins not w...

We now move to the laws that govern our direct physical relationship with one another. The fifth commandment established the foundation of society in the family, and this one protects the most precious thing in that society: life itself. ​The Sixth Commandment is simple: " Thou shalt not kill . " (Exodus 20:13) ​However, the common English translation misses the powerful, specific meaning of the Hebrew. ​It Is Murder, Not Just Killing ​The Hebrew word used here is רָצַח (ratsach), written in Paleo Hebrew as 𐤓𐤑𐤇. This word specifically means "to murder"—the slaying of a human being with premeditation or malice. It is distinct from other words that mean "to kill" (like in war, self-defense, or by accident). ​By choosing ratsach, Yahuah established the sanctity of human life and reserved the right to take life for Himself. This commandment protects the victim from the malicious intent of the murderer. ​Murder of the Heart ​The law goes deeper than the phys...

We have arrived close to the halfway point of the Ten Commandments. The first three focused on our relationship with Yahuah . The fourth commandment acts as a bridge to the second part, which deals with our relationship with one another. ​This law is simple, but in our world, it is one of the hardest to obey. ​ "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy." —Exodus 20:8 ​The word " Remember " is key. It's not a new instruction; it's a call to return to something foundational. Yahuah first established the Sabbath at creation, after six days of work. He rested on the seventh day , setting the pattern for all of humanity. ​The Sabbath: Not Just for One Tribe ​The primary reason many churches dismiss this law is the claim that the Sabbath is "only for the Jews." This argument falls apart at the beginning. ​The Sabbath was established at the end of Creation Week (Genesis 2:2-3). At that time, there were no Jews, no Israelites, and no Law of Moses...

The Power of a Name If you’re reading this, chances are you have a name. Everyone does. Some people have more than one. Some change theirs entirely. Even our pets—dogs, cats, birds, fish—have names. People even name their plants. My snake plant’s named Frank. CoryxKenshin’s got a fern called Momo. Names aren’t just labels—they’re identity. Without a name, who are we? Names give us a sense of self, of meaning. They carry history. They get passed down like heirlooms, from generation to generation. Sometimes you meet someone who shares your name, and there’s an odd moment of connection. Like fate, or maybe just a glitch in the matrix. For people of faith, names take on even greater weight. The name of the one you worship? That’s sacred. Divine. Not to be changed or tossed around lightly. And yet, names change all the time—especially when cultures, languages, and colonization get involved. Some names get mispronounced. Others get outright replaced. Happens to me all the time. T...

Stop worshipping symbols. Stop bowing to tradition. Look at the truth staring at you. He died for your soul, not a piece of wood. Let’s be real, the cross is a literal idol. That thing people hang on walls, wear around their necks, or bow to in churches? It’s just wood. Carved, polished, maybe even gilded, but at the end of the day—it doesn’t speak, it doesn’t see, it doesn’t save. God already called this out: “Woe to him who says to a tree, ‘You are my father’” (Habakkuk 2:18). That verse isn’t a suggestion, it’s a warning. Yahusha (Jesus) spent his life teaching against idol worship. Yet today, millions treat a piece of wood as holy, praying to the symbol instead of the God who created the universe. That cross? Powerless. Dead. Mute. People have built rituals, traditions, and entire belief systems around it, thinking reverence equals salvation. But it doesn’t. It’s human hands, human minds, human illusion. And here’s something most don’t question: did Yahusha even die on a cross? Som...

"Jesus is love." That’s what they say, right? But somewhere along the way, that “love” turned soft. Hollow. Feel-good. Today, it’s been twisted to mean accept everything, affirm everyone, never correct, never confront. But the real Messiah? Yahusha wasn’t about that life. He didn’t come to pat sinners on the back. He came to call them out—and call them home. 🕊️ He Taught Love… But Not the Kind You Think Yahusha absolutely taught love—but it wasn’t the kind you find in Hallmark cards or pop songs. His love had boundaries, standards, and truth woven into every word. “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” — John 14:15 That’s not "love is love." That’s covenant love—obedient, disciplined, sacrificial. He didn’t say, “Live your truth.” He said, “I am the Truth.” Mercy Without Repentance? Never. Let’s be real. Yahusha forgave a woman caught in adultery—but He didn’t say “Keep doing you.” He said: "Go, and sin no more.” — John 8:11 His love didn’t coddle...
