KNOW & UNDERSTAND The THREE (3) KINDS OF "FEAR OF GOD." Acquire The SACRED FEAR of God => For Your Salvation & Eternal Life In The Kingdom of God.

The Zohar revealed that there are 14 super-important Spiritual Precepts embedded in the Bible. And the very FIRST and FOUNDATION of ALL these Bible Precepts is the genuine SACRED FEAR OF THE CREATOR GOD. This genuine FEAR OF GOD (Not the Love of God), is the First Step in developing the intimate FACE-TO-FACE Relationship with Christ and The Father.

The BRIDE OF CHRIST, MINISTRY OF LIFE

• The FEAR OF THE LORD is the BEGINNING OF [MESSIANIC KABBALAH] KNOWLEDGE: but FOOLS despise WISDOM and Instruction. (Proverbs 1:7 KJV)

The THREE (3) TYPES OF THE FEAR OF GOD

FEAR is divided into 3 types. The first two (2) have no fundamental sources, and the 3rd is the actual source of the Sacred Fear of God.

1. The FEAR OF PUNISHMENT IN THIS WORLD a person receives. This fear is demonstrated by a a person who fears and respects The LORD so that his Children will live and not die, or because he is afraid to be punished through his Body or his Wealth. This person, therefore, is always afraid of Him. The fear he has of The LORD has no actual source. This means that this Fear is not fundamentally genuine, because his own benefit is the root-cause or source of his Fear. This FEAR is only the result of his caring for his own benefit (Deuteronomy 28:66-67, Hebrews 2:15).

• … you shall FEAR Day and Night, and shall have no assurance of your Life. (Deu 28:66 LITV)

• For the FEAR of your Heart, which you FEAR… you shall SEE. (Deu 28:67 LITV)

• And deliver them who through FEAR OF DEATH were all their lifetime subject to BONDAGE. (Heb 2:15 KJV) 

2. The FEAR OF THE PUNISHMENT IN THE WORLD TO COME. This is exemplified by a person who fears The LORD because he/she is afraid of the punishment that awaits him in the other World, and the tortures of Gehinom (Hell).

These two kinds of Fear listed above are not the sacred Fear of God; although they can be the start of the Fear that can lead to the Sacred Fear of God (1John 4:18). These two (2) FEARS are negative and can be classified together as the EVIL FEAR OF GOD.

ALL THOSE who remained to have only this EVIL FEAR OF GOD will be ultimately thrown into the Lake of Fire (Hebrews  10:26-31, Revelation 21:8).

• It is A FEARFUL THING to fall into the HANDS of The LIVING GOD. (Heb 10:31 KJV) 

• The FEARFUL, and unbelieving… shall have their part in the LAKE which BURNETH with FIRE and  BRIMSTONE: which is the 2nd DEATH. (Rev 21:8 KJV)  

3. The SACRED FEAR OF GOD

The Sacred FEAR OF GOD occurs when a person FEARS GOD because GOD IS ALMIGHTY and GOVERNS ALL. And because GOD IS THE MAIN SOURCE and ESSENCE OF ALL WORLDS. And everything that exists is as NOTHING compared to Him (Daniel 4:35, Isaiah 40:17).

• All the inhabitants of the Earth are counted as nothing, and He does what He wants with the Army of Heaven and the inhabitants of the Earth. There is no one who can hold back His hand or say to Him, "What have You done?" (Dan 4:35)

• All the Nations are as nothing before Him; they are considered by Him as nothingness and emptiness. (Isa 40:17)

What the Easton's Bible Dictionary says about the Sacred FEAR OF THE LORD:

Is in the Old Testament used as a designation of true piety (Pro_1:7; Job_28:28; Psa_19:9). It is a fear conjoined with love and hope, and is therefore not a slavish dread, but rather filial reverence. (Compare Deu_32:6; Hos_11:1; Isa_1:2; Isa_63:16; Isa_64:8.) God is called “the Fear of Isaac” (Gen_31:42, Gen_31:53), i.e., the God whom Isaac feared. A Holy Fear is enjoined also in the New Testament as a preventive of carelessness in religion, and as an incentive to penitence (Mat_10:28; 2Co_5:11; 2Co_7:1; Phi_2:12; Eph_5:21; Heb_12:28, Heb_12:29). -- EASTON

GOD IS GREATLY TO BE FEARED; IN REVERENCE OF ALL => The SACRED FEAR

• GOD IS GREATLY TO BE FEARED (H6206 = Awe) in the assembly of the Saints, and TO BE HAD IN REVERENCE (H3772 = Yare) OF ALL them that are about him. (Psa 89:7 KJV) 

According to John GILL's Exposition of The Entire Bible: 
GOD IS GREATLY FEARED; not with a slavish fear, a fear of hell and damnation, such as may be in devils; nor with an hypocritical fear, such as is taught by the precepts of men; but with a filial, godly fear, such as is peculiar to the children of God; with an holy and humble fear, with a fiducial and fearless one; with a reverential affection for the Divine Being, and such as includes all worship of him, internal and external: and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him… -- GILL

Jackie Ramsey Excellent teaching.

Edmond D. Macaraeg Your article on 3 kinds of fear seems okay. But to state that the word "beginning" = "fear" (meaning same word) cannot be supported by the original Hebrew words. They are two completely different words.

Jane Lacson What is the fear of God?
When we think of fear, the idea of being afraid is usually our first thought. However, "the fear of the Lord" includes a different meaning, one important to our spiritual health.

Proverbs 1:7 teaches, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge." The verse ends with a parallel thought: "fools despise wisdom and instruction." The contrast made in the two lines concerns wisdom. A proper view of God is the beginning of knowledge. "Fools" who have an improper view of God do not appreciate wisdom or instruction.

The Old Testament Law given to Israel echoed this view of the fear of the Lord. Deuteronomy 10:12-13 says, "And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord, which I am commanding you today for your good?" Again, to "fear" God is to have a proper view of Him that leads to love, service, and obedience.

The only ones who are to "fear" God in the sense of "being afraid" are those who have not placed their faith in Jesus Christ. For those individuals, the future holds judgment (Hebrews 10:31). Jesus taught, "But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him!" (Luke 12:5). The only way to avoid this future judgment is to believe in the Son of God (John 3:16). Faith in Jesus will take away the fear of the future and give a proper view of God.

John wrote, "By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love" (1 John 4:17-18). Those who know Christ do not live in fear of the future; that is, they are not afraid of God's condemnation. Instead, they have a proper view of God based on His love for them.

Ultimately, "And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation" (Luke 1:50). A proper view of God includes a deep reverence and respect for our Creator and Savior. In Christ, we need not be afraid of God, but we are to fear Him, knowing it is only by His grace we are saved and can experience a relationship with Him (Ephesians 2:8-9).

James Nelson My creator does not ask me to fear anything or anyone including my creator. I am co-creator in my universe and fear nothing.

Lope Columna James, where did you get that belief? It is not what God's Bible says! The Bible says that your Creator asks you to FEAR HIM! "What does the LORD your God ask of you except to FEAR THE LORD YOUR GOD by walking in all His ways, to love Him, and to worship the LORD your God with all your heart and all your soul? (Deu 10:12 HCSB)
 James Nelson I am sad for you in that your god wants you to fear him I have studied every religion in every sect and faith but my creator is LOVE.

Lope Columna I am happy that my God wants me to Fear Him, because the Truth is that to properly Fear the Creator is LIFE ETERNAL. Your understanding of God's Love deceived you. God never loves a person who does not fear Him.

James Nelson sorry to burst your bubble but a God of love can not be a God of fear.

Lope Columna Sorry to burst your baseless pride and ignorance about the true FEAR OF GOD. A God of Love is a also a God of FEAR. You cannot love God if you don't fear Him. The love you are talking about is part of the deceived teachings of men that you eagerly accepted without thinking!

James Nelson You are of the impression that you have truth and I will forgive you for calling me ignorant like an impresionable child. I make my own decisions for my life and beliefs unlike you. When you grow up and can think for yourself come visit again.

Lope Columna I have the TRUTH because I FEAR GOD. "The FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM; all who follow His instructions have good insight (Psa 111:10). In contrast, you don't have God's Truth because you don't fear Him. Go on with your own decision, not God's. That's the usual way of life of people who are ignorant of God's Truth, because they don't have the proper fear of God.

Ardel Magararu Maybe That's the reason why we did not grow up we are always "in the beginning...

Lope Columna  Yes, Ardel, because people and churches don't really get the full meaning and impact of the FEAR OF GOD in their lives and existence here on Earth. Many, many people even evade the subject of this FEAR OF GOD, making them great failures in passing through that BEGINNING. To them, the FEAR OF GOD is a negative thing. This negative attitude toward the FEAR OF GOD is a sign of how ignorant and deceived people are about the pure truth of God. This also means that people and churches are still in the infant or child stage when it comes to the true knowledge of God. The truth is: The genuine FEAR OF GOD IS THE MOST POSITIVE THING in the whole Universe! The FEAR OF GOD is the most powerful force to overcome evil and prevents sin, especially that of Idolatry.

Until people truly understand the full meaning and heavy impact of the FEAR OF GOD, they can never grow up to the FULL STATURE of the Lord Jesus Christ!

Arnel: Hi Lope. Just my observation, from your posts, you sound like a prophet of doom. Fear seems to be the key note of your messages. Perhaps you can change the tone a bit to cheer people up during the holiday season? Peace.

Lope Columna: Arnel, top scientists and world leaders are also sounding like prophets of doom. Even the news media are bombarding us all with bad news and gloomy future. What I am posting is to bring people to the right kind of FEAR, that of the genuine FEAR OF GOD. This FEAR OF GOD is greatly misunderstood by almost all people, churches, and religions. Yet, this FEAR OF GOD is the most positive thing in the universe, and is the root-solution to all our global problems. To make people happy is to teach them this positive FEAR OF GOD, because this will solve all their problems.

Arnel: I have nothing against what you preach Lope. Sometimes I feel the need to read about the good and beautiful in life on earth. I don't know what it is on life after death, if ever there's one. I just want to live my life to the fullest and not prepare for something for an afterlife that nobody can prove existed.

Lope Columna: OK. I understand your situation, my friend. One day I will show and prove to you that there is an afterlife, which is more important and permanent than the life we have today. Our Life here now, is just a temporary training and proving ground for every human being. And that training is for the AFTERLIFE.

Regina A. Walters It is a respectful fear... as a child should have towards a parent... fear the Lord in a respectful fear... I love him and always fear to offend him.

I totally agree with you, Regina.

Evelyn De Leon Fundales Are you save by your own works? for tomrrow you may fall...

Evelyn De Leon Fundales Was your name written in the book of life before the foundation of the world? or does God judge you everyday...

Lope Columna The BEGINNING OF SALVATION is to acquire the sacred Fear of God. And those that are written in the Book of Life are only those who are able to develop this sacred Fear of God. No one who is lacking the Fear of God is written there. "Then THEY THAT FEARED THE LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name." (Mal 3:16 KJV)

Lope Columna NO ONE WILL BE SAVED WITHOUT THE PROPER FEAR OF GOD! From Genesis 1:1 to the last Book of the Bible, the Fear of God is emphasized by God. "A voice came from the throne, saying: Praise our God, all you His servants, YOU WHO FEAR HIM, both small and great!" (Rev 19:5 HCSB)

If you want to be saved, you better listen to God, and acquire that genuine FEAR OF GOD. Otherwise, you will be rejected by Jesus Christ at His return!

Regina A. Walters and Gary Wilson Castro Uy like this.

Evelyn De Leon Fundales I agree with James and Regina. The word fear from the original hebrew word is " Yira" ( Prov. 9:10) meaning moral reverence.

Evelyn De Leon Fundales James 4:17 Therefore to him that knows to do good and does not do it to him it is sin.

Evelyn De Leon Fundales you will never be perfect on your own

Lope Columna Evelyn, the trending of your reasonings are very obvious to be the impure teachings of men. Your religion and worship of the true Christ is in vain: "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." (Mat 15:9 KJV)
