'One day Maoro-ém and Aharón were criticizing Mehushúa because his wife was a Cushite woman, and they said, 'Has YÁOHU UL spoken only through Mehushúa? Hasn't He spoken through us, too?'

But YÁOHU UL heard them. Immediately He summoned Mehushúa, Aharón, and Maoro-ém to the Tabernacle: 'Come here, you three,' He commanded. So they arose before YÁOHU UL (now Mehushúa was the humblest person on earth.)

Then YÁOHU UL came down in the cloud and arose by the entrance of the Tabernacle.

'Aharón and Maoro-ém, step forward,' He commanded; and they did.

And YÁOHU UL said to them, 'Even with a prophet, I would communicate by visions and dreams; but that is not how I communicate with my servant Mehushúa. He is completely at home in My house! With him I speak face to face! And he shall see the very form of YÁOHU UL! Why then were you not afraid to criticize him?'

Then the anger of YÁOHU UL grew hot against them, and He departed. As the cloud moved from above the Tabernacle, Maoro-ém surprisingly became white with leprosy!

When Aharón saw what had happened, he cried out to Mehushúa, 'Oh, sir, do not punish us for this sin; we were fools to do such wickedness. Don't let her be as one dead, whose body is half rotted away at birth.''

And Mehushúa cried out to YÁOHU UL, 'Heal her, O YÁOHU UL, I beg You!'

And YÁOHU UL said to Mehushúa, 'If her father had but spit in her face she would be defiled seven days. Let her be banished from the camp for seven days, and after that she can come back again.'

So Maoro-ém was excluded from the camp for seven days, and the people waited until she was brought back in before they traveled again.' - Numbers 12:1-15, Holy Scriptures.

Now, let's find out what kind of harvest did Aharón received:

'One day Koreh conspired with Dathan and Abiram and On.

All three from the tribe of Reuben, to incite a rebellion against Mehushúa. Two hundred and fifty popular leaders, all members of the assembly, were involved.

They went to Mehushúa and Aharón and said, 'We have had enough of your presumption; you are no better than anyone else; everyone in Yaoshorúl has been chosen of YÁOHU UL, and He is with all of us.

What right do you have to put yourselves forward, claiming that we must obey you, and acting as though you were greater than anyone else among all these people of YÁOHU UL?'

When Mehushúa heard what they were saying he fell face downward to the ground. Then he said to Koreh and to those who were with him, 'In the morning YÁOHU UL will show you who are His, and who is holy, and whom He has selected as His priest.'

'Do this: You, Koreh, and all those with you, take censers tomorrow and light them, and put incense upon them before YÁOHU UL, and we will find out whom YÁOHU UL has selected. You are the presumptuous ones, you sons of Levi.'

Then Mehushúa spoke again to Koreh: 'Does it seem a small thing to you that YÁOHU UL of Yaoshorúl has selected you from among all the people of Yaoshorúl to be near to Himself as you work in the Tabernacle of YÁOHU UL, and to remain before the people to serve them?

Is it a small matter to you that He has given this task to only you Levities? And now are you demanding the priesthood also? That is what you are really after! That is why you are revolting against YÁOHU UL. And what has Aharón done, that you are dissatisfied with him?'

Then Mehushúa summoned Dathan and Abiram but they refused to come.

'Is it a small thing,' they mimicked, 'that you brought us out of lovely Egypt to kill us here in this terrible wilderness, and that now you want to make yourself our king? What's more, you haven't brought us into the bountiful country you promised, nor given us fields and vineyards. Whom are you trying to fool? We refuse to come.'

Then Mehushúa was very angry and said to YÁOHU UL, 'Do not accept their sacrifices! I have never stolen so much as a donkey from them, and have not hurt one of them.'

And Mehushúa said to Koreh, 'Come here tomorrow before YÁOHU UL with all your friends; Aharón will be here too. Be sure to bring your censers with incense on them; a censer for each man, 250 in all; and Aharón will also be here with his.'

So they did. They came with their censers and lit them and placed the incense on them, and arose by the entrance of the Tabernacle with Mehushúa and Aharón.

Meanwhile, Koreh had agitated the whole nation against Mehushúa and Aharón, and they all assembled to watch. Then the glory of YÁOHU UL appeared to all the people, and YÁOHU UL said to Mehushúa and Aharón, 'Get away from these people in order that I may quickly slay them.'

But Mehushúa and Aharón fell downward face to the ground before YÁOHU UL.

'O YÁOHU UL of all mankind,' they pleaded, 'must You be angry with all the people when one man sins?'

And YÁOHU UL said to Mehushúa, 'Then tell the people to get away from the tents of Koreh, Dathan, and Abiram.'

So Mehushúa rushed over to the tents of Dathan and Abiram, followed closely by the 250 Yaoshorúli leaders.

'Quick!' he told the people, 'get away from the tents of these wicked men, and don't touch anything that belongs to them, lest you be included in their sins and be destroyed with them.'

So all the people withdrew back from the tents of Koreh, Dathan and Abiram. And Dathan and Abiram came out and rose by the entrances of their tents with their wives and sons and little ones.

And Mehushúa said, 'By this you shall know that YÁOHU UL has sent me to do all these that I have done - for I have not done them on my own. If these men die a natural death or from some ordinary accident or disease, then YÁOHU UL has not sent me.

But if YÁOHU UL does a miracle and the ground opens up and swallows them and everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into hell, then you will know that these men have despised YÁOHU UL.'

All of the people of Yaoshorúl fled at their screams, fearing that the earth would swallow them too. Then fire came from YÁOHU UL and burned up the 250 men who were offering incense.

And YÁOHU UL said to Mehushúa, 'Tell Úlozor the son of Aharón the priest to pull those censers from the fire; for they are holy, dedicated to YÁOHU UL. He must also scatter the burning incense from the censers of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives. He shall then beat the metal into the sheet as a covering for the altar, for these censers are holy because they were used before YÁOHU UL; and the altar sheet shall be a reminder to the people of Yaoshorúl.'

So Úlozor the priest took the 250 bronze censers and beat them out into a sheet of metal to cover the altar, to be a reminder to the people of Yaoshorúl that no unauthorized person - no one who is not a offspring of Aharón - my come before YÁOHU UL to burn incense, lest the same thing happen to him as happened to Koreh and his associates. Thus YÁOHU UL's directions to Mehushúa were carried out.

But the very next morning all the people began muttering again against Mehushúa and Aharón, saying, 'You have killed YÁOHU UL's people.'

Soon a great, sullen mob formed; surprisingly, as they looked toward the Tabernacle, the Cloud appeared and the awesome glory of YÁOHU UL was seen. Mehushúa and Aharón came and arose by the entrance of the Tabernacle, and YÁOHU UL said to Mehushúa, 'Get away from these people so I can soonest slay them.'

But Mehushúa and Aharón fell downward face to the earth before YÁOHU UL.

And Mehushúa said to Aharón, 'Quick, take a censer and place fire in it from the altar; lay incense on it, and carry it quickly among the people and make atonement for them; for YÁOHU UL's anger has gone out among them - the plague has already begun!'

Aharón did as Mehushúa had told him to, and ran among the people, for the plague had indeed already begun; and he put on the incense and made atonement for them. And he arose between the living and the dead, and the plague was stopped, but not before 14,700 people had died.

Then Aharón returned to Mehushúa at the entrance of the Tabernacle; and so the plague was stopped.' - Numbers 16:1-50, Holy Scriptures

The first convicted usurper in the whole universe was ha-satán (satir, the goat, the old serpent). Let's find out what he did, why and what penalties he suffered:

'You were the perfection of wisdom and beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of YÁOHU UL; your clothing was bejeweled with every costly gem - ruby, topaz, diamond, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, carbuncle and emerald - all in beautiful mountings of finest gold. They were given to you on the day you were created.

I appointed you to be the anointed Guardian Angel. You had access to the holy mountain of YÁOHU UL. You walked among the 'ebaním' (s-ones) of fire.

You were perfect in all you did from the day you were created until that time when wrong was found in you. Your great wealth filled you with internal turmoil and you sinned.

Therefore I cast you out of the mountain of YÁOHU UL just like a common sinner. I ruined you, O Guardian Angel, from the midst of the 'ebaním' of fire.

Your heart was filled with pride because of all your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. Therefore I have cast you down to the ground and exposed you helpless before the curious gaze of kings.

You defiled your holiness with lust for gain; therefore I brought forth fire from your own actions and let it burn you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all those watching you.

All who know you are appalled at your fate; you are an example of horror, you are ruined forever.' - Kozoqiúl (Ezekiel) 28:12-19

When followed and obeyed, one will have a favored, upright and highly beneficial life here on earth, and inherit eternal life afterwards. YÁOHU UL's goal is for those who obey Him to spend eternity with Him in His Kingdom Eternal.

Sad to say but true, the enemy, ha-satán also has a plan for everyone to perform here on earth. When ha-satán's plan is followed by anyone, the consequences are dire, miserable and deadly. The enemy's goal is to seduce and deceive everyone to eternally suffer with him in the lake of fire.

Now it's one's own preference which of the two plans he would make effectual and actually follow in his life, and he alone will actually suffer or benefit from all the consequences of his selection and preference.

Whatever condition in life anyone is in now is the sum total of all his past selections and decisions, as far as those factors affected by them are concerned.

In YÁOHU UL's reckoning and plan, each was born here on earth for the sole purpose of doing His will, glorifying Him and serving Him, and rightly so, because He deserves these, being the legitimate Creator of humankind and the universe.

The wise person will make sure that His main purpose and goals in life are in harmony with the goals set forth by His Creator, YÁOHU UL. To decide differently will lead to sure conflict with one's Maker and Creator.

Remember, there are only two leaders to follow and receive orders from, either the Creator, YÁOHU UL or His archenemy who is satir, ha-satán, the wild goat.

In order that relationships with one's authorities can become harmonious, thereby receiving YÁOHU UL's best in this life, the foremost matter to be sure and determined of is the subordinate's main purpose and goal in life.

If the subordinate's purpose in life is to obey and please YÁOHU UL, his Creator, then no conflicts nor turmoil are to be expected between this subordinate and all his authorities.

YÁOHU UL will always make sure that all the authorities who are given him will treat him justly and be beneficial to him, aside from being agents of His protection, love and care.

If the subordinate's purpose in life is selfish and in favor of the enemy, then much conflict, trouble, problems and bitter fruit are to be expected between these subordinate and his authorities. Why? Because he is in conflict with his own Creator and this surely will always reflect on the authorities' attitudes and treatments of him, whoever they are and wherever.

So it is vital for each one to really make that quality decision now on what will his purpose in life be, now that he knows what YÁOHU UL's perfect will is for everyone. Much of the future and beyond will based upon the conclusion one makes regarding this now.

'Obey YÁOHU UL and follow His plan for your lives...' as it is inscribed in His Word.

For example: the husband and the wife willfully and in full agreement rebel against the moral laws of YÁOHU UL, both of them will become bitter enemies sometime later.

Another example is: partners and accessories in a crime against YÁOHU UL and the government will become each other's mortal enemies in the long run, and will try to finish off one another in mutual evil suspicions. Or one will be the state witness against the other.

If various sectors of the government bureaucracy rebel against their government leader and tragically depose him, all those who participated in such wickedness will become bitter rivals and enemies of one another.

If the ladies unite to topple their spiritual elders in their religious congregation, they will suffer the penalties of turmoil, troubles and internal conflicts among themselves, afterwards.

And so on and so forth.

'To complain about the law is to praise wickedness. To obey the law is to fight evil. Evil men don't realize the importance of justice, but those who follow YÁOHU UL are much concerned about it.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 28:4-5

For those who rebel against YÁOHU UL's punishments, there are funeral parlors, memorial parks and cemeteries well-prepared in advance.

'Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a reputable name in the sight of YÁOHU UL and man.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 3:3-4

'My son, do not despise YÁOHU UL's discipline and do not resent His rebuke, because YÁOHU UL disciplines those He loves, like a father the son he delights in.' - Maush'léi 3:11-12

'Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 12:1

'He who ignores discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored.' - Maush'léi 13:18

'He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.' - Maush'léi 13:24

'Rigid discipline awaits him who leaves the path; he who hates correction will die.' - Maush'léi 15:10

'An evil man is bent only on rebellion; a merciless official will be sent against him.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 17:11

'Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death.' - Maush'léi 19:18

In almost every place there are authorities in place with their own laws, rules, regulations and policies, be it in gymnasia, buses, trains, shopping malls, schools, universities, airplanes, hotels, bakeries, jails, restaurants and so on.

In everyday life, one goes from one umbrella of protection to another, and these are invisible hierarchies, which only those with spiritual eyes opened can discern.

That's why Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA admired the Roman official's faith, because faith is being sure of things that are not seen by physical eyes, and that he fully realized the enormous power of hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA over all the spiritual realm:

'Just at that time the highly-prized slave of a Roman army captain was sick and near death. When the captain heard about hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA, he sent some respected Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his slave. So they began pleading earnestly with YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY to come with them and help the man.

They told him what a noble person the captain was.

'If anyone deserves Your help, it is he,' they said, 'for he loves the YAOHÚ-dim people and even paid out of his own funds to build us a synagogue!'

YAOHÚSHUA went with them; but just before arriving at the house, the captain sent some friends to say, 'Sir, You don't have to inconvenience Yourself by coming to my home, for I am not worthy of such kind of honor or even to come and meet You. Just speak a word from where You are, and my servant boy will be healed! I know, because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my men. I only need to say 'Go!' and they go; or 'Come!' and they come; and to my servant, 'Do this or that,' and he does it. So just say, 'Be healed!' and my servant will be well again!'

YAOHÚSHUA was amazed! Turning to the crowd he said, 'Never among all the YAOHÚ-dim people in Yaoshorúl have I met someone with faith like this!'

And when the captain's friends returned to his house, they found the servant completely healed.'

Luke 7:2-10, Holy Scriptures

Therefore, it is highly beneficial for every believer to be wise in regard to ways of dealing with authorities and subordinates.

So praise, glorify, honor and thank YÁOHU UL now for the revelation knowledge given you! Haolul-YÁOHU!

In the Name of YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, am-nów.

(In cases of constitutional democracies, the highest powers of the land are given to the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government. More explanations on this later.)

For those who do not belong to any of these so-called religious organizations, then the main spiritual leaders of the dominant religious organization in his country are to be taken as his spiritual authorities.

Your grandparents, uncles, aunts and married elder siblings (brothers and sis-ers) and also parents (after you get married) become only members of the CHAIN OF ADVICE (Board of Advisers) which YÁOHU UL has provided in cases where there are unclear directions from your direct chain of command and you need pieces of advice to make sure that you are going to make the correct decisions which are right in YÁOHU UL's sight and according to His written Word.

It is the CHAIN OF COMMAND through which power and authority directly flows, from YÁOHU UL's throne down to the lowest level of authority in this universe.

Legitimate commands and orders coming down to the subordinate from above through the CHAIN OF COMMAND, he is required by YÁOHU UL to obey and promptly follow with gladness and excellence.

The subordinate's rewards or penalties will be based upon how well he obeyed these orders coming down to him directly through his own chain of command.

While pieces of advice from one's CHAIN OF ADVICE however are not required to be obeyed, but to be carefully evaluated only in making wise and correct decisions in life and on the job too.

'Blessed is the man who does not hearken to the advice of the wicked,' as it is inscribed in Tehillím (Psalms) 1.

But it is best to seek counsel from YÁOHU UL Himself, through His written Word as shown and enlightened by the indwelling 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' because often, those belonging to one's chain of advice or counsel are ignorant of the Word and usually give wrong pieces of advice.

Let the peace of the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA rule one's heart in such cases and let the written words of YÁOHU UL be the final authority in the believer's everyday decisions and preferences.

Remember, one's rewards, benefits and riches in this life depends on YÁOHU UL and not on mere men's whims and caprices.

Serve YÁOHU UL therefore with utmost loyalty and absolute devotion!

Human authorities are YÁOHU UL's tools or agents in the purification process of individual hearts and in formation of character traits in them, aside from their usual duties of granting benefits and imposing penalties.

Human authorities are YÁOHU UL's tools in refining and polishing the character mold of each individual. The stubborn are subjected to rougher abrasives while the obedient are subjected only to finer tools in polishing.

You will notice that often, those who are rebellious to their parents join the military or are sent to jails to undergo rigid disciplinary measures. They prefer or are involuntarily subjected to rougher polishing agents to remove all the dross and evil from their hearts, whether they realize this or not.

YÁOHU UL allows each one to prefer and be inclined to receive the degree of polishing and refining that his personality and character requires.

The reverential fear of YÁOHU UL is the beginning of wisdom.

To fear YÁOHU UL is to hate wickedness and evil.

To take pleasure in evil and wickedness is to glorify and praise ha-satán, the devil.

'He who obeys regulations guards his life, but he who is contemptuous of His ways will die.' - Maush'léi 19:16

'A man who remains stiffnecked after many rebukes will quickly be ruined - and without remedy.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 29:1

'An authority's rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.' - Maush'léi 19:12

'He who robs his father and drives out his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 19:26

'Penalties are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 19:29

'An authority's wrath is like the roar of a lion; he who angers him forfeits his life.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 20:2

'Who can say, 'I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin.'' - Maush'léi Proverbs) 20:9

'To do what is right and just is more acceptable to YÁOHU UL than sacrifice.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 21:3

'He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is full of grace will have the authority (king) for his friend.' - Maush'léi 22:11

'When you sit to take dinner with a ruler, note well what is before you, and put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony. Do not crave his delicacies, for the food is deceptive. Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show self-control.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 23:1-4

'Do not eat the food of a greedy man, do not crave his delicacies; for he is the kind of man who is always contemplating about the cost. 'Eat and drink,' he says to you, but his heart is not with you. You will vomit up the little you have eaten and will have wasted your compliments.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 23:6-8

'Hearken to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 23:22

'Reverentially fear YÁOHU UL and your national leader, my son, and do not participate with the rebellious, for those two will send quick ruin upon them, and who knows what calamities they can bring.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 24:21-22

'As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of the leaders are unsearchable.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 25:3

'Like the coolness of snow at harvest time is a dependable orderly to those who send him; he refreshes the spirit of his boss.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 25:13

'He who robs his father or mother and says, 'It's not wrong' - he is partner to him who ruins.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 28:24

'A man who loves wisdom brings gladness to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders away his wealth.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 29:3

If one is not a believer in hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA, then he is subject to all the minions and powers of hell, and has ha-satán as his unseen boss. This is obvious because he obeys whatever ha-satán orders him to do, whether to have tattoo marks, to smoke pot or take in cocaine, to engage in homosexual activities, to get drunk, to patronize prostitutes, enjoy pornography, lewdness, sleaze and so on.

In passing it may be worthwhile to mention that in the realm of darkness, the evil and unclean spirits of homosexuality occupy the lowest ranks because even evil spirits on criminals, terrorists, witches, addicts, the insane and prostitutes scorn and look down on these wicked spirits, as observed in prisons and mental institutions. Evil spirits are the subject matter of this segment, not individuals or persons.

A believer in hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA, in the spiritual realm, really sit with hol-MEHUSHKHÁY Himself in the heavenlies, with all authorities and powers beneath them!

And believers will someday judge even the angels.

'I have given you all the authority over all the power of the enemy, and to walk among serpents and scorpions and to crush them. Nothing shall injure you!' - said Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA in Luke 10:19

The upright and those who reverentially fear YÁOHU UL are the true nobility and royalty in the land.

'Please forgive me, sir, but much as I like to serve you wholeheartedly, my Life-Governor YAOHÚSHUA inhibits me from obeying your order because it is inscribed in His Word that it is wickedness to cheat the poor and the innocent, and I surely don't want to become your bitter enemy later on in case we both commit this sin against YÁOHU UL.'

He may laugh, scoff or give you that disdainful look but later on, YÁOHU UL will make sure that you be rewarded and benefited because you remained in reverential fear of Him, regardless.

YÁOHU UL's words will always take effect, even if many scoff at His inscribed words.

'He who rebukes sin fearlessly will finally be rewarded.'

Another acceptable response, in cases where commands which are immoral, illegal or contrary to the written words of YÁOHU UL are given, is to pray and request from YÁOHU UL to move and change the authority's mind and to convict his heart as regards sin, uprightness and judgment and make him withdraw (if not change) the illegal or immoral order.

And pray also that the subordinate in this case be given the wisdom and knowledge to offer better alternatives or solutions, if possible, which may achieve the same goals but avoid any violation of YÁOHU UL's moral laws as well.

Similar to the way the prophet Dayan-Ul (Daniel) dealt with his appointed authorities:

'But Dayan-Ul made up his mind not to eat the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the superintendent for permission to eat other things in its place.

Now as it happened, YÁOHU UL had given the superintendent a special liking for Dayan-Ul, and sympathy for his predicament.

But he was alarmed by Dayan-Ul's request.

'I'm afraid you will become pale and thin compared with other youths your age,' he said, 'and then the king will behead me for neglecting my responsibilities.'

Dayan-Ul talked it over with the attendant who was appointed by the superintendent to look after him, Hananiah, Mishaul, and Ozoriah, and recommended a ten-day diet of only vegetables and water; then, at the end of this test period the attendant could see how they looked in comparison with the other fellows who ate the king's rich food, and decide whether or not to let them continue their diet. The attendant finally agreed to the test.

Well, at the end of the ten days, Dayan-Ul and his three friends looked healthier and better nourished compared to the youths who had been eating the food supplied by the king!

So after that the attendant fed them only vegetables and water, without the rich foods and wines!'

- Dayan-Ul 1:8-16, Holy Scriptures

The subordinate is only expected to make an appeal to his immediate authorities only in these cases:

Only in these cases is the subordinate urged and encouraged by YÁOHU UL to make a tactful, humble, respectful, gentle yet firm appeal to his authorities who have jurisdiction or responsibility over these matters concerned.

Or the subordinate may make an appeal to the higher authorities in case the immediate authority refuses to withdraw or change his immoral or illegal orders, but again, in a tactful, humble, respectful, gentle yet firm manner of speaking.

'Gentle words deeply penetrate through the bones, it is inscribed.

'A clean name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 22:1

'A word tactfully and aptly spoken is like apples of gold in mountings of silver.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 25:11

'He who rebukes a man will in the end gain more favor than he who has a flattering tongue.' - Maush'léi (Proverbs) 28:23

'Wounds from a friend are better than kisses from an enemy.'

Normally, though, a heartfelt prayer or two to YÁOHU UL in cases such as these will suffice to move YÁOHU UL to change the mind of the person in authority to either withdraw or change his immoral or bad orders into legitimate ones.

Only legitimate orders are subordinates required to obey and follow, like unto hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA Himself. And only those really in connection with the job or work wherein the subordinate is serving Him.

Orders and commands from one's immediate authority which are personal in nature or are outside the subordinate's job description are orders which the subordinate is not required to obey.

Usually, though, those in ranks of authority can discern if the subordinate is secretly inviting seductions or sexual passes and one will always get what he deserves.

But it would be better to reckon such temptations as tests from YÁOHU UL which the subordinate must pass in order to receive promotions from YÁOHU UL.

Remember, you will get the kind of authority you deserve, depending on what you really and secretly desire in your heart.

'He who is looking for evil will get much of it,' it is inscribed.

Those holding seats of authority also usually are tried by YÁOHU UL if they will succumb to or resist sexual temptations, and again, promotions, raises, successes, bonuses and benefits are reserved for those who will pass His tests, YÁOHU UL, the unseen Supreme Chairman of all chairmen, Who tests every person's heart.

'Promotions come from nowhere else on earth except from YÁOHU UL,' as it is inscribed.

Many business and religious organizations have fallen and gone bankrupt and to ill repute because those in authority tolerated, if not by themselves engaged in, sexual immoralities.

'If my heart has lusted for what my eyes have seen, or if I am guilty of any other sin, then let someone else reap the crops I have sown, and let all that I have planted be rooted out.

Or if I have longed for another man's wife, then may I die, and may my wife be in another man's home, and someone else become her husband.

For sexual lust is a shameful sin, a crime that should be punished. It is a consuming fire that ruins to hell, and would root out all I have planted.' - Yaoháv (Job) 31:8-12

Honest, pure and clean success only comes to those upright in words, deeds and thoughts! The wicked only experience the deceitful kind of fictitious success, the lonely and guilt-ridden kind which eventually leads to bankruptcy, loss, suicides and ignominy.

'The upright shall never lose YÁOHU UL's benefits, but the wicked shall lose everything.' - Maush'léi 10:30

Let's proceed to receive more scriptural wisdom and knowledge in the NEXT segment of these spiritually-awakening guidelines now....
