What does Matthew chapter 7:21 mean? By Rabbi Simon Altaf
11th Feb 2011
YHWH – The four letter name of God
Yahushua – Commonly called Jesus in the West
Torah – First five books of the Bible written by Moses

Today many who call themselves Christians in the myriads of their denominations teach people to break the law of Adonai and assume that it is perfectly OK to do so since they have someone called ‘Jesus’ who tells them it is OK and he will save them.
Mattityahu 7:22-23 Many will say to me in that day, Master, Master, have we not prophesied in your name? And in your name have cast out demons? And in your name done many wonderful miracles? 23 And then will I profess to them, I never knew ye: depart from me, you that work Torahlessness
Christianity will meet its maker who will judge them because most of them are lawless and teach people to be lawless. They do not obey the Torah of Moses and teach others to do likewise. The person of Yahushua who they call ‘Jesus’ will not save them that day in fact he will tell them the exact opposite what their corrupt leaders have been teaching them.
The question posed by people is what does the term ‘That Day’ mean. A pastor asked me what does the term ‘depart’ mean in the passage of Matthew 7:23?
The important verses that lead up to this discussion and the judgment need to be examined. I am not going to look at all of Matthew chapter 7 because it will be too heavy to explain to you everything but in brief here is the key verse:
Mattityahu 7:21 Not everyone that says to me, Adonai, Adonai (Master, Master: Lord, Lord), shall enter into the kingdom of shamayim (heaven); but he that does the will of my Abbah which is in the shamayim (heaven).
What is the will of our Father? Most of you jump to the conclusion that it is to believe in the Messiah and proclaim the J-man. Sorry that is not what His will is or was because accepting the Messiah is part of a bigger picture.
One must understand that the will of the Father cannot change day to day and be one thing in Abraham’s time, another in Moses’s time, a completely different one in the first century and two thousand years later changed again. If the will of the Father keeps changing from day to day and Christian denomination to denomination then all these kinds of people are simply worshipping an idol such as Allah but calling him Lord. This is because Allah’s will did change from day to day. He abrogated whole chapters of the Qur’an and replaced them with new betters ones in the Qur’an. In like fashion if we believe that Christendom serves the same one or similar idol then yes his will change from denomination to denomination.
This means a lot of the Christian clergy is guilty of replacing the WILL of Abbah YHWH but let us briefly examine what is the WILL of the Father in and at various times of the message he communicated.
WILL of the Father for Abraham
Genesis 17:1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, hwhy appeared to Abram, and said to him, I am El-Shaddai (The Mighty Power); have your halacha before Me and be perfect.
What does this actually mean in the schema of things?
YHWH tells Abraham to do the commandments so “have your halacha” or as in other translations “walk before me” does not mean to do a dance and I will see how good you are. Walking or keeping Halacha has always meant to guard the Torah commandments. Is today’s Christianity doing what Abraham did to guard the Torah?
WILL of the Father for Moses
Exodus 3:8,10, 12 So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Mitzrim (Egyptians), and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Yebusites. 10 Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring My people the children of Y’sra’el out of Mitzrayim (Egypt). 12 And He said, I will certainly be with you; and this shall be a sign to you, that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Mitzrayim (Egypt), you shall serve Elohim on this mountain.
The WILL of the Father to Moses was to go and release the children of Israel and then to serve YHWH. YHWH was going to give His Torah to Moses and have it written down so they would know exactly what to do. This time everything black and white no excuses that I did not know it or did not read it. This is the typical excuse of Christians.
Note in both these instances the one doing the speaking was the eternal Messiah revealed as YHWH both at the trees of Mamre (to teach) to Abraham (Gen 18:1) and to Moses in the burning bush (Exo 3:2). So if at both these times the Messiah is declaring the voice of YHWH as the Will of the Father in heaven then what is the will of the Father in heaven after His arrival in Jerusalem, His death and resurrection?
Let us read on…
Mattityahu 6:9-13 Therefore pray after this manner: Our Abbah who is in shamayim (heaven), Set-Apart be your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your WILL be DONE in earth, as it is in the shamayim (heavens). 11 Give us this day our daily Lechem (bread). 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.13 And lead us not into trials, but deliver us from evil: For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amein.
The Corrupt in Christendom are happy to recite the prayer but refuses to obey the Torah. They are happy to pay lip-service to the prayer in Matthew 6 but do they do the will of the Father in heaven by submitting before his laws? Do they circumcise as Abraham was commanded to circumcise? No.
Now do we see what is the WILL of Yahushua and His father. What happens in the Kingdom above? The Torah is kept and guarded strictly by the angels. If now the Pastors who have become the traders of Christianity and majority of them are nothing more than thieves and hypocrites, note I did not say that but the Messiah did as I am only reading his text back to you, read the discourse with the Temple authorities (Matt 21:13) then do you really want to believe those that DO NOT KEEP THE TORAH and think by just saying “Jesus loves you, believe in him” these foolish hypocrites unclean sepulchres have corrupted the Torah and lied to the people by telling them not to obey the Torah. They are so messed up that they try to by pass Abraham’s covenant by teaching it is OK not to circumcise. The messy messianics are about the same so a Christian in any label is sorry to say just that a messy non-Torah keeper.
Now we are coming to the climax of the story.
Many have died already and the Messiah has not returned yet and some will die before He returns so who is the Messiah speaking to in Matthew 7:21-23? He is obviously speaking to those people who will be alive at the time He comes. He does not even bother to raise those that were lying unclean sepulchres, see my article “Will Christians be raised in the Millennium.”

Matthew 7:21 Not everyone that says to me, Adonai, Adonai (Master, Master: Lord, Lord), shall enter into the kingdom of shamayim (heaven); but he that does the will of my Abbah which is in the shamayim (heaven).
So if you do not GUARD the Torah you shall certainly not enter the Kingdom, as the common saying goes “hell can freeze over” but you will remain outside the kingdom.
But where will you go?
Mattityahu 7:23 And then will I profess to them, I never knew ye: depart from me, you that work Torahlessness
Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in THAT DAY…
Matthew 7:23…Depart from me.
Depart from me. Well you will be given the marching orders that is that he will refuse to acknowledge you before the Father in heaven as his own. And those that do not belong to the Father will be sent out to the wilderness to be torn by wild beasts both spiritual and natural that means demonic spirits and real beasts or people and they will die their deaths as hopeless people to be cast into the bad parts of She’ol later followed by casting into the lake of fire to be destroyed permanently. This people will have no resurrection. They will have what I term soul consciousness in She’ol but these are the type of people that Psalmist said about. Let us take a quick look.
Tehilim (Ps 1:5) Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
A ‘wicked’ is a term given to a person who in some way has tried to circumvent the Torah by rejecting either one or more commandments of it. These people will not be allowed to stand with the righteous.
The Psalmist tells us that those that are wicked and whose sins have been weighted will be not be attending a judgment council because they will go straight from She’ol to the lake of fire so make no mistake the words of Yahushua are very potent and very powerful. There are many people who are going around the block slandering others and tale bearing, this is also breaking the Torah. Alongside this a myriads of teachings such as not to obey the Torah or certain laws of the Torah are being openly rejected e.g. circumcision is one, polygamy is two, monogamy is three, tithing is four etc, etc. Very few people today actually practice biblical monogamy or polygamy while most are happy to do the state marriage and then take a divorce on demand on the slightest of disagreement. Many women out there are guilty of this crime becoming judges and jurists to judge the men of YHWH openly slandering them and think they are the head of the beyth din (House of Judgment). They think by putting up websites and slandering men of Elohim they will get credit, no, instead they are heaping judgment upon themselves proving their guilt and judgment will follow according to the will of Ha’Shem.
There are many other types of wickedness gong on even within the body of the Messiah and these judgments that the Messiah spoke about only apply to the body of Messiah yet the false church has been teaching that if you continue in these things that somehow the blood of Yahushua will clean you up. Sorry this will not happen. In order to receive full and final forgiveness one must first go to the person they have wronged and receive forgiveness from them and it is after them that Elohim will forgive them but going direct to Elohim matters little since the sin is still binding without the person you wronged forgiving you. Elohim does not by pass his own established laws. So please if you have done wrong to another then go and ask for forgiveness and then after they have forgiven you then you can go before the Master of heaven and earth and ask and receive forgiveness.
YHWH bless you
Shalom Shalom

Beyth Yahushua – Son of Tzadok, Son of Dawud
Would you like to know the identity of Yahushua's family? Did He have brothers and sisters, did He get married, are not Rabbis meant to marry, was Mary Magdalene His wife? All these answered in this book. Are you fed-up of hearing objections such as if you do not know who Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were then how can you claim to have the truth? Are they not just fictions characters? How can you tell others about who they were? Now you can.
Do you feel frustrated to go to your Pastor only to be told he does not know?
What caused Rabbi Paulos to persecute perfectly normal Yahudi men and women who simply practiced Yahudiot (Judaism)? Who was Nicodemus, what relationship did Yahushua have with Lazarus? Did Yahushua have sisters? For too long He has been portrayed as the wandering man with no belongings and no family and living wildly, picking up food from the trees, fields and women offering him handouts. Is that an accurate pictures of who He was?
In fact this picture is both misleading and deceptive. Do you want to know the powerful family of Yahushua? What connection did Joseph of Arimathaea had with Yahushua and why would a rich man like him be willing to give his own expensive tomb for Yahushua’s burial?
Do rich men do such things, if so then why was the rich man in Matthew 19:21 unwilling to give away all his money? Did Yahushua carry the curse of Jeconiah (Jer 22:24-30)? The answer that Christendom gives is the curse lifted because of the virgin birth or the lineage switch. Did it? Answer NO. Christendom’s answers on this are very wrong. What about the genealogy of Luke and Matthew, why are two fathers of Yahushua in one Heli and in the other Jacob in Matthew 1:16 and Luke 3:23? Will the real father of Yahushua please stand up!
Who were the Hebrews, what is the West in Hosea 11:10? Where do the scattered ten tribes return from?
Hos 11:10 (KJV)…then the children shall tremble from the west.
If we believe popular opinions then they are all in Europe and America but the reality is very different. This book is a wake up call to the last generations.
This book will give you new insights and the rich history of Yahushua. Your life will never be the same again.
