To Negate Adonai And Reject Yeshua Meshiach
To negate Adonai and reject Yeshua Meshiach is to turn away from the very essence of God’s plan for the world. It is to deny the One who created the heavens and the earth (שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ, shamayim va’eretz), the One who spoke all things into existence (דָּבָר, dabar), the One who has shown His eternal love (חֶסֶד, chesed) and faithfulness to His people throughout history (Psalm 136:1). When we negate Adonai, we not only ignore the truth of who He is, but we also cut ourselves off from the source of life and hope (John 10:10). We choose to live in the darkness, rejecting the light that has been given to us (John 8:12). We separate ourselves from the very One who desires to redeem us, to restore us, and to bring us into the fullness of His presence (Psalm 27:4).
Adonai, the Lord God of Israel, has revealed Himself to us in powerful and undeniable ways. Through the creation of the world, through the prophets (נְבִיאִים, nevi’im), and most fully through His Word (דָּבָר – dabar), He has made known His will, His character, and His purpose. From the beginning, He called His people to follow Him, to love Him, and to be a light to the nations (Isaiah 49:6). The relationship He offers is not distant or abstract but is one of intimate fellowship, a deep knowing of the Creator who loves His creation with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3).
And yet, from the time of Adam and Eve, humanity has often chosen to walk away from that relationship. We see it in the Garden, when they chose to listen to the serpent’s lies instead of trusting God’s truth (Genesis 3:6-7). We see it in the stories of the ancient Israelites, who, despite experiencing God’s miraculous deliverance, would often turn to idols and forsake His commands!!! (Judges 2:11-13). And in our own time, the same temptation remains, to reject the call of God, to refuse His ways, and to seek our own path apart from Him (Romans 1:21-22). But God, in His mercy, has not left us to our own devices. He has always made a way back to Himself (Isaiah 30:18).
The ultimate way, the perfect expression of God’s love and grace, is found in the person of Yeshua Meshiach. Yeshua is the fulfillment of God’s promises to His people (Galatians 3:16), the one through whom the blessings of Abraham would flow to all nations. In Yeshua, God Himself came to dwell among us (ἐνσάρκωσις, en-sarkōsis), to walk among His creation, to share in our pain, and to offer us a way of reconciliation (John 1:14). He is the visible image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15). He is the fulfillment of the law (תּוֹרָה, Torah) and the prophets (נְבִיאִים, nevi’im). In Him, God revealed the full extent of His love, His mercy, and His desire to restore humanity to Himself (Ephesians 2:4-5).
To reject Yeshua is to reject God’s greatest gift. It is to ignore the most profound act of love ever displayed, the sacrifice of the Son of God for the sake of humanity’s salvation (John 3:16). Yeshua did not come into the world to condemn it but to save it (John 12:47). His death on the cross was not a tragic accident but the purposeful act of a loving God, who gave His Son to bear the punishment that we deserved, to pay the price for our sins (ἁμαρτία, hamartia), and to break the power of death (Romans 5:8-10). Through His resurrection, Yeshua triumphed over sin and death, offering the hope of eternal life to all who believe in Him (1 Corinthians 15:20-22).
To negate Adonai and reject Yeshua is to refuse this great gift of salvation, to choose a life apart from God, to choose death over life (John 3:36). It is a tragic decision, for without Yeshua, there is no reconciliation with God (2 Corinthians 5:18). Without Him, there is no forgiveness of sins, no peace with the Creator (Romans 5:1), no access to the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 7:21). The rejection of Yeshua is not a mere rejection of a man or a philosophy; it is the rejection of God’s plan to bring humanity back into relationship with Himself (Acts 4:12). It is to say that we do not need His grace (חֶסֶד, chesed), that we can save ourselves, that we can build our own way to God apart from His Son.
But even in the face of rejection, God continues to call. His love is relentless (Psalm 136:26). His desire to redeem is unceasing (Isaiah 63:9). He offers forgiveness to all who will come to Him through Yeshua (1 John 1:9). The invitation remains open, and the opportunity to turn from darkness to light is always before us (2 Corinthians 6:2). In rejecting Yeshua, we choose to remain in our brokenness, in our sin (ἁμαρτία, hamartia), and in our separation from God. But in accepting Him, we are brought near to the Father (Ephesians 2:13), we are cleansed from all unrighteousness, and we are granted the gift of eternal life (Titus 3:5).
The rejection of Yeshua does not only affect us in this life but has eternal consequences (Hebrews 9:27). To live apart from God is to live without purpose, without hope, and without peace (Romans 8:6). But in embracing Yeshua, we are not only given hope for the future; we are given a new life now (2 Corinthians 5:17). We are invited into a relationship with the living God, into the fullness of His love and His presence (Psalm 16:11). Through Yeshua, we are reconciled to God (Colossians 1:20), and through His Spirit (רוּחַ – ruach), we are empowered to live lives that reflect His glory (Galatians 5:22-23).
Negating Adonai and rejecting Yeshua is the choice to remain in the blindness of our sin (ἁμαρτία, hamartia), to remain in the separation that our pride and rebellion have caused (Isaiah 59:2). But God, in His grace (חֶסֶד, chesed), continues to extend His hand of mercy (Lamentations 3:22-23). He calls us to turn from our ways and to embrace His way, the way of redemption, the way of life (Proverbs 3:5-6). Yeshua said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). There is no other way. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). To reject Him is to reject the only path that leads to God.
In the end, the choice is ours. We can choose to turn away from the truth of who Yeshua is, or we can choose to receive Him as our Savior, our Lord, and our King. To accept Yeshua is to accept the fullness of God’s love (Ephesians 3:17-19), to enter into His Kingdom (Matthew 6:33), and to live for His glory (1 Corinthians 10:31). To reject Him is to choose a life of separation from the One who created us, the One who loves us, and the One who desires to bring us home (Romans 8:38-39). The decision is not a small one, for it affects not only this life but the eternity that awaits (2 Corinthians 5:10).
We should never negate the call of Adonai. We should never reject Yeshua Meshiach. Instead, we should receive the life that He offers, the grace (חֶסֶד, chesed) that He extends, and the eternal love that He gives to all who come to Him in faith (1 John 5:11-12). The invitation is open, the way is clear, and the opportunity to be reconciled to God is before us. Do not turn away, but come to Him, in humble faith, and find the life that is found only in Yeshua (John 10:10).

When World Leaders and Governments Negate Adonai and Reject Yeshua
The governments of the world, in their pursuit of power, influence, and control, often find themselves at odds with the will and purposes of Adonai (Psalm 2:1-2). In their decisions and actions, they have too frequently turned away from the Creator, neglecting the laws of righteousness (צֶדֶק, tzedek) that come from Him and substituting their own ideologies. When nations disregard the moral order established by God, they sow seeds of division, injustice, and suffering (Isaiah 10:1-2). And at the heart of this rebellion against divine authority is the rejection of Yeshua Meshiach, the only One who can restore peace between God and humanity (Ephesians 2:14-16).
Throughout history, many governments have made decisions that reflect a denial of God’s sovereignty, instead they choose to elevate human wisdom and secular ideologies above His eternal truths (Romans 1:22). They have enacted policies that promote division, foster corruption, and diminish the value of human life, all while rejecting the divine guidance that would lead them to justice, mercy, and humility (Micah 6:8). In doing so, these nations place themselves in opposition to the very Creator who gave them their authority, and they deny the moral foundation upon which their systems were intended to stand (Romans 13:1).
When a government rejects the reign of Adonai and refuses to acknowledge the centrality of Yeshua Meshiach in their decision-making, they choose to walk in darkness rather than light (John 3:19). The absence of God’s truth leaves a void that is often filled by selfish ambition, greed, and power struggles. The pursuit of earthly kingdoms takes precedence over the Kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33), and in the process, the dignity of individuals, the sanctity of life, and the pursuit of justice are all undermined (Proverbs 14:34). The result is a society that grows more fractured and less able to experience the peace, love, and harmony that Adonai intended for the world (Isaiah 32:17).
Yeshua Meshiach came into the world not only to reconcile individuals to God, but to show how God’s Kingdom operates in the world. His life and ministry demonstrated how governments should align themselves with divine principles: seeking justice, serving the poor (Matthew 25:35-36), loving the unlovable (Luke 6:27-31), and proclaiming the truth of God’s Word above all else (John 18:37). He showed us what true leadership looks like, a leadership of sacrifice, humility (ταπεινοφροσύνη, tapeinophrosyne), and love. When a government rejects Yeshua, they reject the model of perfect governance that He embodied. They turn their backs on a way of life that leads to peace and righteousness and instead embrace systems of power that often leave the most vulnerable among them oppressed (Proverbs 29:2).
This rejection is not a neutral stance. To ignore the call of God in the governance of nations is to invite chaos, corruption, and division (Isaiah 5:20-23). Without the moral compass of Adonai’s law (תּוֹרָה, Torah), governments often become instruments of injustice. They make decisions that serve a few while harming many, and in doing so, they break the heart of God (Ezekiel 22:26). His desire is not for governments to rule with iron fists but to govern with wisdom, compassion (חֶסֶד, chesed), and a deep respect for the image of God in every human being (Genesis 1:27). This can only be achieved through a nation that acknowledges God’s reign and recognizes the central role of Yeshua Meshiach in human history and destiny (Daniel 2:21).
The refusal to acknowledge Adonai and the rejection of Yeshua also have eternal consequences (Revelation 20:11-15). While human governments may have the power to enact laws and shape cultures for a time, they cannot escape the authority of the King of Kings (1 Timothy 6:15). Nations that choose to ignore God’s will will one day be held accountable. The Lord does not remain silent forever; His justice will be made known (Psalm 9:7-8). As history unfolds, it is clear that God’s purposes will prevail, and every nation will eventually recognize the sovereignty of Adonai and the lordship of Yeshua (Philippians 2:10-11). Governments may rise and fall, but the Word of God stands forever (Isaiah 40:8).
In the meantime, the responsibility of the people of God is to pray for those in power (1 Timothy 2:1-2), to stand for truth, and to be voices for justice in a world that too often rejects divine authority (Proverbs 31:8-9). While governments may choose to ignore Adonai, those who follow Yeshua are called to live according to a higher standard, reflecting the love, peace, and righteousness of the Kingdom of God in all spheres of life (Matthew 5:14-16). Though the world may be rejecting the way of truth, the people of God are called to be a light in the darkness (John 1:5), showing the world what it looks like when a life is surrendered to the will of the Father (Romans 12:1).
The rejection of Yeshua Meshiach by governments is a denial of the only true way to peace, justice, and righteousness (Isaiah 9:6-7). Governments may seek their own way, but in rejecting God’s authority and turning away from the guidance that Yeshua offers, they are forsaking the only foundation that can bring true healing to a broken world (Matthew 7:24-27). And yet, even in the face of rejection, the invitation to embrace God’s Kingdom remains. The call to repent and turn to Yeshua is open to every individual, every leader, and every nation, for as long as the breath of life remains (Acts 17:30-31).
Remember to keep your lanterns filled with oil, and your candles lit, for THE LORD Yeshua IS coming soon! Believe it… or not.
