Today, we witness many who seek to elevate themselves or their institutions to a divine status, craving honor and recognition that should only be reserved for Yahuah. These modern-day 'anti-Christs' lead people astray, pursuing paths of self-aggrandizement that mimic the rebellion seen in scriptural tales, where beings like Satan sought to usurp Yahuah’s place. These actions echo the broader theme of betrayal that Yahuah has felt from those He cherishes.
As you listen to the song 'Follow Not' and read through Jeremiah, consider Yahuah’s heart. Reflect on the emotional weight He carries due to the repeated betrayals. Yet, His message through Jeremiah—a young man raised to speak bold truths to a wayward people—reminds us of Yahuah's enduring hope for reconciliation. He still reaches out, still calls for a return to faithfulness.
Let this understanding strengthen you. As you grow by engaging with scripture, think of what it means to truly honor Yahuah’s heart. He would cherish a return to faithfulness, an alignment of our lives with His ways, recognizing His rightful place in our lives and our world. Yahuah’s heart, ever hopeful, calls us back, inviting us to heal the breach, to restore what was lost, and to live in the light of His love and truth.
Song Title: "Follow Not"
Verse 1:
They started out as simple folks,
With a book in hand and a couple of jokes,
But soon enough they’re all divine,
From a humble priest to a vine of vines.
Chorus:
Oh, follow not those who stray,
Who turn their humble staff to sway,
From leader to lord, then a god they claim,
In the end, it’s just a dangerous game.
Verse 2:
Now he’s got a robe with golden seams,
And whispers of a thousand dreams,
‘End of days’—he’s got the date,
But first, he’s got a dinner at eight.
Chorus:
Oh, follow not those who stray,
From the simple truths to a flashy display,
From prophet to messiah, they switch their lanes,
Watch your step, it’s just one of their games.
Bridge:
Says leave your kin, give all you own,
To him who sits on a makeshift throne,
Starve for truth while he feasts on lies,
And the only truth’s the tears in your eyes.
Verse 3:
Beware the leader who claims your spouse,
Turns a community to a haunted house,
Who breaks the law yet claims he’s the law,
The higher they climb, the harder they fall.
Chorus:
Oh, follow not those who stray,
Who break commandments and lead you astray,
No golden calves or messiahs of clay,
Keep your soul, don’t give it away.
Outro:
So heed the lesson Jeremiah told,
In scriptures, find your stronghold,
Guard your heart with truths you learn,
From false shepherds, you must turn.
For those who lead with a false decree,
Aren’t the shepherds they claim to be.
