Those who truly follow the teachings of YHWH the Father and Y‘shua teach that there is only one way to
worship the true Elohim and only one way to obtain salvation, and that those who teach another way of
worship and salvation are worshiping a false god.
The vast majority of counterfeit Christians hate the Father's true children because their belief, practices, and
teachings are a condemnation of counterfeit Christianity. Just as the legalistic Jews of Y‘shua‘s day
professed to believe in YHWH and hated Y‘shua for what he taught, so it is in this age. YHWH's people will
be hated for believing and teaching the truth as Y‘shua taught it (John 17:14).
Again, it is very easy to understand why popular Christianity would hate those who truly believe in Avinu the
Father and Y‘shua.
Hated by JudaismThose of the various Jewish sects (for the most part) believe that Y‘shua was a prophet or a good man; but
don‘t believe that he was the Creator or the Son of Yah, nor do they believe that he was the Messiah.
However, a major part of the Gospel message teaches that Y‘shua is the Creator and the Son of Yah; and
that Avinu the Father sent Y‘shua to bring a renewed covenant.
Therefore, it is no wonder that those of the various Jewish sects feel that any who believes in and follows the
teachings of Y‘shua are their enemies and worshippers of a pagan god.
Hated by all ReligionsThose who truly believe that the biblical record is the printed word of YHWH should also believe the biblical
teaching that there are only two religions in the world: The faith of YHWH the Father who is Sovereign of all
that exists; and all other religions, including Quasi-Christianity.
Because of this belief, it is little wonder that those who truly believe that they are the only true worshippers of
the only true Elohim and his Son will be hated by all religions of the world today. It is interesting that this is
the same basic reason that the ancient nation of Israel was hated and persecuted by other nations.
PersecutionWhy was Y‘shua crucified for preaching the Gospel message? Why were most of the apostles, along with
many of the early church, martyred? And why will many be murdered just before the return of Y‘shua for
preaching the truly astounding message that Y‘shua taught?
Y‘shua gives the answer:―If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you" (John 15:20 Para.). ―And all that will live godly in
Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution". (2 Tim 3:12 Para) (See also Mark 13:13; Luke 21:17.)
The persecution of the elect of YHWH is a self-fulfilling prophecy, because of their obedience to the
command of Y‘shua to proclaim the Gospel message. The elect of YHWH will be hated and persecuted
because they will be doing as Y‘shua instructed. They will be preaching and teaching the Good News
message of repentance from evil, true belief in YHWH the Father and Y‘shua and the soon-coming Kingdom
of YHWH in addition to how to walk in Torah.
The Gospel message that Y‘shua brought from the Father is a message that is so dynamic, so powerful, and
so diametrically opposed to what has been taught by this world's religious leaders and philosophers, that the
vast majority of people will reject it when they hear it and hate and persecute those who live it and teach it.
Y‘shua says to let one's light shine (Matt 5:14-16). When we do this, we cannot help but bring persecution
upon ourselves.
Today, just before the return of Y‘shua to conquer the earth and establish his Father's religion and
government over the earth, the true servants of YHWH must proclaim Yah the Father's Good News just as
Y‘shua did centuries ago.
