Outside the City?

“Therefore, to make the people holy through His own blood, Yeshua also suffered outside the gate.” (Hebrew 13:12, TLV)
“Jesus’ body symbolically is outside of the city in this verse because the sacrifice on the cross was outside Jerusalem’s city walls. What occurred was unholy; in this manner, He was humbled and emptied himself for us to as he descended into Hades (hell), and broke through the enclosure of the gates of death. Messiah Yeshua rose from the dead and ascended with a multitude to His Father. Matt 27:52-53 (TLV) states, “and the tombs were opened, and; many bodies of the Kedoshim (saints) who were sleeping were raised to life. And coming out of the tombs after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared too many.”
Messiah Yeshua had been scorned, mocked, beaten, and suffered for all humanity’s sins. Messiah Yeshua also suffered the grief of temptation by Satan during His forty-day excursion to the wilderness. Everyone has experienced a wilderness moment, where we are thirsty and poor in Spirit, and only Almighty God can help us through the weariness in our bodies and minds. The wilderness experience tests the soul and Spirit to become strong and mighty even in weakness. God said you are strong when you are weak. You must be strong in the face of sickness, death, loss of a job or family, and suicidal thoughts that may have permeated from the devil and his minions to your mind. When humanity looks to Messiah Yeshua on the cross, they see every sin they ever committed.”

Our Savior wants us to remember that He came to save us from our souls since we have fallen from nature produced from sin. If Jesus never came to the earth, we would never have eternal life. We would forever be in the pit of darkness and fire, and that is not what our loving Father wanted for his children.
I believe Father God was heartbroken when Eve gave the fruit to Adam, and they both ate the forbidden fruit. Yet El Shaddai knew his creation would fall. He also knew he wanted Adam and Eve to seek HIM and desire a genuine relationship with the Father, not a must-do-as-is-say relationship.
The next time someone tells you that to be a Christian is a dictatorial relationship, let them know that Father God doesn't want people who don't want HIM. Father God is holy and righteous in His ways and loves His creation. If the individuals rather not have a relationship with Him, then it is okay with Him. But the person should be ready for death that is not with light and their eternity spent in the pit with the wicked. Luke 16:19-31
Individuals who choose to turn away from knowing our Lord and Savior will find themselves beyond the city walls, eternally regretting their decision to embrace an unrighteous path. Once life ends, there are no second chances; the fate of the individual is sealed forever.
