“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
John 14:6
Yeshua said to him, " I am the way, and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness."
"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God.”
John 10:9
(Yeshua said) "I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. "
John 10:27
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
God gave his people Covenants with Promise, the promise that (IF) his people keep the Word of His testimony God will be their God and they will be his people. One is the Rainbow Covenant with Noah and another is the 10 Commandments with Moses. Both are Everlasting Covenants and are intended to be kept by the children of God (Yehovah) until the establishment of His Kingdom. These Covenants are intended to be written on the heart of the believer, not under penalty of death, but to be obeyed with full assurance of Faith in the one true God. As prophesized, God gave his only Son (Yeshua) as the Messiah and redeemer of God's people. Yeshua was sent to magnify the law and teach the higher principles of the Covenants, to offer himself as the ultimate sacrifice for the atonement of sin, replacing the traditions of man and removing man's authority and judgement, giving it to the Son as the sole mediator and gate to the Kingdom of God. The Son came first to find a broken people (Israel and Judah) giving them a chance for redemption through repentance, and also allowing Gentiles (those without a Covenant) the same chance for repentance and to be grafted into the commonwealth of Israel by Faith and good works. God gives all people a strait way through His Son, fulfilling the Promise given to Abraham to make true Israel (baptized by blood and Spirit) the kings and priests of his New Kingdom, called Zion. Christ alone, having destroyed all sin and wickedness from the earth is prophesized to become the Crowned King and Head Priest to rule the earth with a rod of iron upon his second coming and offers eternal salvation to those that hear and do his Commandments.
RAINBOW COVENANT
(Gen 8:20-22) Noah, after the flood gave thanks to God and built an altar, offering up sacrifices of all the clean animals. God Promises not to smite every living thing on the earth.
(Gen 9: 1-17) God commands Noah not to touch the blood and to eat clean and for man to occupy and multiply on the earth and subdue it. God promises not to destroy the earth again with a flood.
10 COMMANDMENTS
(Exodus chapter 17 / Deuteronomy 4-6) God gives the "living water" from the split Rock at Horeb and makes a verbal agreement with Israel for the Covenant (by faith).
(Exodus 20) God calls Moses and Aaron up to mount Sinai for the receiving of the Commandments on Stone.
(Exodus 25) God commands the building of the Ark of the Covenant, symbolic of the heart of the nation.
(Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy) God gives up to 613 laws, added after Israel's transgression of the Covenant, giving order and rules for a nation and giving a timeline for redemption and remission of sins, to show Israel that the Spirit is higher than the Flesh. Indeed the ways of God are higher than the ways of the World.
(Deuteronomy 29-31) God explains the blessings in obeying the Covenant by faith and curses for rejecting the Covenant or doing the Commandments only by dead works of the law (in the flesh); and describes the difference between the law written in a book and the 10 Commandments written on stone.
WHAT IS REQUIRED OF BELIEVERS?
NEW COVENANT
Many Christians believe that when Christ came first, he came to deliver New Commandments and replace the Old Commandments. This is biblically untrue. As it describes in Hebrews Chapter 8, quoting Jeremiah 31, the conditions of the New Covenant will happen once Christ establishes his New Kingdom, "in those days" the Commandments are written on people's hearts, nobody will have to teach his neighbor and everyone "from the least to the greatest knows the Lord." It is important to know that right now we are in a time period called "The Refreshing" (Isaiah 28 & Acts 3) before the restitution of all things (New Kingdom). Until then, we are expected to obey God's Commandments and keep his Covenants and teach others to do so.

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO THE KINGDOM
God has always expected his people to obey him and hear his voice! But mankind has a long history of self-centeredness and using the liberty God gave them for their own glory and self interests. God in his Word gave a timeline for how long he will contend with mankind--and time is running out! This is why people must repent of their own ways and the ways of this world, humble themselves and get in Covenant with him. Presently in this world there are upwards of 40,000 denominations who are all doing their own ways. This is not God's way--it is the wide road to destruction. The heart of God's people are those who will do his Commandments and listen to his words without having to be threatened with death or dog trained into it. This is why the Bible says we must circumcize our hearts; which is to say, "change our hearts of stone to hearts of flesh." This is also loving God with all our heart, mind and soul. The book of Revelation is written to the servants, and is end-times prophecy on what those servants must be aware of prior to God's judgements and the establishment of his New Kingdom.
THERE IS NO GENTILE GATE--ONLY A GATE FOR A REDEEMED ISRAEL AND THOSE WHO GET GRAFTED INTO THE TREE OF ISRAEL.
(Rev 21:12) And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
(Rev 21:13) On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
(Rev 22:14) Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
