Seven Abominations Yahweh Hate
Can the Almighty Father in heaven dislike something so intensely? The Bible says he can! Today, we are going to openly share with you the seven abominations Yahweh hate. We know what you’re thinking. Yahweh is love (1 John 4:8), right? How it is then that He can really hate some things? Because the Holy Scripture said so, and we’re going to defend it and not argue with it, ever. The Bible says, “These six things that Yahweh hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devices wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren” (Proverbs 6:16-19). While these aren’t the only sins that should be avoided, they do sum up most of the very wicked things condemned by the Almighty Elohim in heaven. As always, we now ask our Heavenly Father’s Holy Spirit, or His power, for holy wisdom to teach you this very vital subject matter. May His truth sanctify you. May you also have the eyes to see and the ears to hear this true and faithful heavenly message.
A Proud Look. It is an attitude of the heart that overvalues oneself and undervalues others. A proud person is one thinking more about himself than he should. This speaks of people who are haughty and look down on others as if they are better. Don’t look at others and hold yourself higher because you have a gift that another does not. Pride is a sin and Yahweh cannot bless it. He blesses humility, which is the opposite of pride. We must be humble, as it is the only attitude Yahweh can and will bless. “But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: Elohim resist the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” “Humble yourselves in the sight of Yahweh, and He will lift you up” (James 4:6, 10). “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of Elohim, that He may exalt you in due time” (1 Peter 5:6). Remember also that pride was at the heart of the first sin. “For you (Satan the devil/Lucifer) have said in your heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Elohim; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be also like the Most High” (Isaiah 14:13-14).
A Lying Tongue. It means deception in speech. Yahweh hates lying! Lying is one thing that Yahweh Himself cannot do and He detests lying in us. “In hope of eternal life which Elohim, who cannot lie, promised before time began” (Titus 1:2). A lie is the opposite of Elohim’s very nature. Yahweh is truth, and a lie is an attack to His very Person. “Into Your hand I commit My spirit; You have redeemed Me, O Yahweh Elohim of truth” (Psalm 31:5). The tongue was created so that we could use it to give glory to Yahweh. When we use it in an improper manner, we steal glory from Him! Yahweh hates the abuse of the tongue. He will ultimately judge all those who use their tongues who tell lies. “But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life” (Revelation 21:27). Yahweh wants to find truth in His people. “Behold You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom” (Psalm 51:6). When the truth dwells within us, it will come out in our speech and in our works. We are not to be saying things as truths in order to get ahead; or, to be seen as better than you are; or, to cover something shameful. We also don’t want to speak untruths purposely to appear smarter or more holy. Many people have an entire list of lies that they don’t consider wrong and then a separate list of deceptions that are absolutely wrong. There is no difference between the two. A lie is a lie, no matter how white or little it is. So, stop lying and be always truthful.
Hands That Shed Innocent Blood. This refers to murder. It speaks of those who take away the lives of other humans. Most of us are not guilty of killing anyone, but according to the Bible, all of us are if we hate another person! Yahweh values each life, and those who would hurt or kill an innocent one will not go unpunished. “When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood” (Isaiah 1:15). When you hate another person to the point that you look for ways to attack them and destroy their lives in any way, you are guilty of murder. “Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him” (1 John 3:15). Yashua the Messiah Himself warned us about this! “You have heard that it was said to those of old, You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgement. But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgement. And whoever says to his brother, Raca! shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, You fool! shall be in danger of hell fire” (Matthew 5:21-22).
A Heart That Devices Wicked Plans. This refers to a heart that is always plotting evil. It speaks of the person who is given over to thoughts of iniquity. Everyone has evil thoughts from time to time. That is one of the sad parts of being a human with a fallen nature. Listen! From a spiritual perspective, the heart is the most important organ because it’s the heart that determines our actions not the brain as some people say. But, someone who plots evil, meditates on sin and on ways to accomplish those wicked plots is demonstrating that their heart is evil. “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies” (Matthew 15:18-19). Whether you are wishing, thinking, or speaking spiteful and/or hurtful things to another person, you are guilty of this kind of abomination. We need to train our hearts to purposely practice what the apostle Paul wrote in his epistles to the people of ancient Galatia. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23). You have the Holy Spirit in you if you truly have them.
Feet That Are Swift In Running To Evil. It’s not just the heart that conceives evil that Yahweh hates. He also hates the feet of those who carry out evil. “For their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood” (Proverbs 1:16). “Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths” (Isaiah 59:7). The paths the feet follow in life reveal the condition of the heart. When your feet carry you to do evil; when they carry you to worldly places; when they carry you around the country spreading lies, rumors and gossip; when they carry you from bed to bed with a different woman or man, from pleasure after pleasure of this world, your feet reveal the condition of your heart. It speaks of going to places you know Yahweh does not approve of—doing things like wild parties, getting high with drugs, getting drunk with booze, stealing, pornography, sex chat, bullying, hurting another, or even killing someone. They create wounds that could last a lifetime. What you do is what you are! Instead of easily running to something “evil” for comfort, why not run to Elohim instead? Take the time to go to Yahweh and pray. Seek out from Him what made you run, or want to run, and get your life straight and in the proper order, especially spiritually. Stop doing evil things and do good things. You won’t regret it.
A False Witness Who Speaks Lies. Different from a “lying tongue,” this speaks of one who constantly gives a false witness against another person. This is perjury. They willingly tell lies against someone innocent to see that person convicted. It speaks of those who spread lies, innuendo, and rumors in order to tear others down. They are troublemakers and they will bring sorrow to your soul. This abomination also happen even in church. Many church leaders prey on those they think are weak. They are always looking for people they can convert to their false religious beliefs. Very sadly, many religious leaders don’t know or understand the truths from Elohim, but are spreading false gospel to others and not teaching them biblical truths and the True Gospel. These supposedly “servants of Elohim” who are putting the Bible in a bad compromise replacing it with their man-made doctrines and scripturally wrong interpretations will be punished by Yahweh in much greater ways. The apostles Peter and Paul gave us this warning about these deceitful workers. “If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless” (James 1:26). “A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness will utter lies” (Proverbs 14:5). Avoid giving a false testimony against another person at all times. Also avoid giving a false testimony in favor of yourself at any time. Likewise, avoid gossiping and spreading rumors. Rumors may or may not contain elements of truth, but their veracity is anyone’s guess—rumors carry no factual certainty. They will always infect and contaminate the integrity of truth. Misuse of the tongue is a window into the soul. Yahweh hates the misuse of the tongue. Only a wicked heart engages in gossip, rumors and lies. “A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who speaks lies shall perish” (Proverbs 19:9). You can’t and will not get away with lies.
One Who Sows Discord Among Brethren. Of all the mentioned atrocious abominations, this is what Yahweh particularly hates. Why? We should notice that this sin is against the brethren. This refers to one who causes genuine brothers and sisters in Messiah to be at war with one another. It also speaks of one who out of the fruit of his corrupted heart cause conflict among the brethren. They stir up dissension in the body of Messiah, for their own selfish gain. This is totally contrary to the will of Eternal Yahweh concerning His chosen people. The apostle Paul says, “Now I plead with you brethren, by the name of our Master Yahshua Messiah that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement” (1 Corinthians 1:10). Yahshua the Messiah Himself prays to His Father, “That they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me” (John 17:21). Don’t be a troublemaker among your fellow Christians. Don’t look for occasions to put distance between fellow believers. Don’t share hurtful gossip among each other. Please don’t do these things. Those who engage in it have locked arms with Satan in his efforts to steal the glory of Yahweh and to undermine the harmony He desires to produce. You know how much the Messiah hates this action. If you happen to do these things, then repent of your deeds now and confess your sin to the Father. The apostle John tell us that “If we confess our sins, He (Yahweh) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Otherwise, if you continue to do evil things there is a heavy price to pay. “Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; very suddenly he shall be broken without a remedy” (Proverbs 6:15). Yes, don’t let sinful things take away your crown.
In closing, you’ve just read the seven abominations Yahweh hate. They are sins our Almighty Father in heaven takes very, very seriously. Let us repeat it to you again, the Bible says He hates them! We are all in serious danger of unfavorable eternal judgement if we don’t avoid doing these sinful things. Now the next step is up to you. Don’t just simply read this, but put what you read into a living faith of real obedience accompanied by a sincere action to repent of sin and live a life that is morally and spiritually acceptable to His will. Sooner or later, we will be all held responsible and accountable for our words and actions. We have a loving Father in heaven who wants the best for His creation. In fact, Yahweh gave to this world His only begotten Son (Yahshua the Messiah), that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). Therefore, keep your heart clean from all these and worship Almighty Yahweh in spirit and truth, and follow the Ten Commandments and the commandment given to the brethren to be as one with the Father and the Son from the beginning until the New World comes. We humbly ask and pray to Yahweh for these things in the holy name of the appointed Savior, Master and King Yahshua, Amen. Halleluyah and Shalom!
