Don’t give Satan a foothold “to rob, kill, and destroy” you of the promised blessings of obedience in honoring your parents. Instead of a long life with blessings you will have a lack of blessings, which are curses, and your life is due to be shortened according to the Almighty. Anything we know to do and don’t do it, in the Almighty’s sight is intentional sin, and if you do it continually, Yahveh’s calls it “blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.” (Hebrews 10:26, Numbers 25:30, Matthew 12:31) Rebelling against your Father and Mother, is where rebellion usually begins, and it guarantees that the Enemy will have a stronghold in your life. (Ephesians 6:2) The devil does everything that he can to turn the children against the parents so that he can rob them of their blessings, causing them to be rebels who despise the word of Yahveh. Satan knows that the promised blessing of obeying your parents is a real gift from the Heavenly Father. It is Yahshua’s (Jesus’s) love coming through you, that loves Him first and loves others, fulfilling the two greatest commandments. (Ephesians 6:2) It is an expression of love for God and love for them because you are a surrendered vessel and instrument of His love through obedience. This is so important that Yahveh promised you a blessing and a long life in doing so. Your obedience to your Father and Mother is your obedience to your God, whether you feel your parents deserve to be honored is not the issue. (Matthew 22:37) This brings glory to your Father and Savior because you love Him and obey Him, and it brings the Father and the Savior’s love, working through you, to your parents, whether they are saved or unsaved. It is to be done because you love Yahveh your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. (Exodus 20:12) He highlighted the fifth commandment, honor your Father and Mother, singling it out as the first commandment with a promise. Yahveh God emphasized and reemphasized how important all of His commandments are. He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse" (Malachi 4:5-6). "Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of YAHveh. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and unloving. In the last days difficult times will come. “Children, obey your parents in YAHveh (the LORD), for this is right” (Ephesians 6:1). Listen to your father who begot you, And do not despise your mother when she is old” (Proverbs 23:22). “My son, observe the commandment of your father And do not forsake the teaching of your mother” (Proverbs 6:20). Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition” (Matthew 15:5-6). Even the hypocritical Pharisees did not honor their mother and father saying, “…what might have been used to help their mother or father is ‘devoted to God,’ they are not to ‘honor their father and mother’ with it. If you are honoring your mother and father, you are doing it out of reverence to the Almighty who gave them to you, and this will teach you to love YAHveh with all your heart and soul. This is the first Commandment with a promise that you will have a long life and all will go well with you (see Exodus 20:12 and Ephesians 6:2). The fifth Commandment is really important because if you cannot honor your father and mother you cannot honor YAHveh (the LORD). “Every one of you shall reverence his mother and his father, … I am Yahveh your God” (Leviticus 19:2-3). ‘You shall be holy, for I Yahveh your God am holy. “Honor your father and mother as YAHveh your God has commanded you, that your days may be prolonged and that it may go well with you…” (Deuteronomy 5:16).
