Even that so called ̳great leader‘ of South Africa's black people Bishop Desmond Tutu stated, as reported by
the Messianic publication "Hadderech‖, also reported by Peter Lalonde in the Omega-Letter (June ‘89):
"According the New Testament, the Jews must suffer. We will definitely put it into practice when we are in
power. As soon as we rule, there will be no more sympathy for the Jews‖. What a comfort this statement
brings to Jews living in South Africa today! Reported on the ABC TV News, 28 February, 1990.
Also, in these Latter Days (just as Y‘shua has warned us), there are some Christians that continue to pursue
health, wealth and the self; thus, they follow charismatic personalities that exude great charisma— the likes
of some American TV Evangelists. These evangelists, both male and female, feed the self with the never-
ending "Gospel of prosperity" which only feeds the flesh. Nevertheless, beloved, decision-time must come for
many as we are accountable before Blessed YHWH Elohim, for "You cannot serve two masters!"
We, the Body of Messiah Y‘shua, must beware of the wiles of men such as that of Rev 2:8 & 9, "They are
the Synagogue of Satan!" There is no doubt that we are in the end times. Let us therefore be aware of
what is happening and not be deceived.
These are only some of the many examples of ―deceived‖ Christian movements. Sadly, these so-called
"spirit filled" preachers deceive many Believers who are being led right into end-time deception; the worst,
however, is the blatant rejection of YHWH‘s Torah.
What are the ―fruits" we shall know them by? They are certainly not "miraculous manifestations‖, as satan
and his angels can and do perform miracles as YHWH allows. Nor are the fruits simply "good results"—such
as healed marriages, release from addictions, etc. Even secular, pagan and atheistic groups and cults can
and do get good results.
The key here is that the fruits are coming from "the tree‖. What is the tree? In Judaism, the Torah is called
the Tree of Life, as mentioned in the notes in Matt 6:32-34 under ―The Kingdom of YHWH‖.
The phrase ―to bring forth ... fruit" in a Hebraic spiritual context, refers to deeper spiritual insight and
teachings.
Are the ―fruits‖ (teachings) true to the Torah; or are they in opposition to it, as Y‘shua warned about at the
beginning of this sermon? (5:17-20) As with any good teacher, Y‘shua is "closing the loop" to his argument,
summarising with what He began with. This is expounded on (with a warning) in the section of verse 21-29:
7:21-29 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord...
―(21) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth
the will of my Father which is in heaven. (22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful
works? (23) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (24)
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which
built his house upon a rock: (25) And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat
upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. (26) And every one that heareth these
sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the
sand: (27) And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and
it fell: and great was the fall of it. (28) And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people
were astonished at his doctrine: (29) For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes‖.
These verses have often been used by some groups to point a finger at other "apostate" or "more liberal"
groups who "claim the name of Y‘shua‖. But what is Y‘shua's criteria for those who fall into this group?
At the beginning of this Midrash (Matt 5:17-20), Y‘shua had given three examples to make a point about
Torah still being in effect.
He did not come to do away with the Torah
This included even the tiniest part (jot and tittle) of the Torah
Those who taught otherwise would be ―least in the Kingdom"
Here at the conclusion of His Midrash, He again shows in three different ways who falls in this category of
those He does not know.
He describes them as follows:
