All the way back from the days of Moses there was prophesied of a Messiah to come to the nation of Israel to redeem it for the sins broken under the first covenant.
Deut 18:15 YAHWEH your Elohim shall raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, one like me; you shall listen to him,
There have been many false messiahs since Israel has been a nation. Everyone from Simon Bar Kochba to Sheptai Zevi have proven to be false messiahs. Who is the prophesied Messiah of Israel, and how can you be sure?
There are over 300 messianic prophecies and only one person in the history of Israel has fulfilled all 300 of these. When you look at the law of odds and probability of one man fulfilling every prophecy it is mind boggling. It is something like 100 zillion, quadrillion to one. Let us read directly from the Tanach to see who the true Messiah of Israel is.
Isa 42:1 Behold My Servant; I will support Him; My Elect in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit on Him; He shall bring forth justice to the nations.
Isa 42:2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
Isa 42:3 A bruised reed He shall not break, and a smoking wick He shall not quench; He shall bring forth justice to truth.
Isa 42:4 He shall not fail nor be crushed until He has set justice in the earth; and the coasts shall wait for His Torah.
So the first thing we see is that the Messiah of Israel will uphold the Torah, and if any false messiah comes saying that the Torah is done away with, he cannot be the true Messiah of Israel.
Deut 13:1 If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams rises among you, and gives you a sign or a wonder,
Deut 13:2 and the sign or the wonder which he spoke to you occurs, saying, Let us go after other Elohim which you have not known, and let us serve them,
Deut 13:3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams. For YAHWEH your Elohim is testing you, to know if you love YAHWEH your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deut 13:4 You shall walk after YAHWEH your Elohim, and you shall fear Him. And you shall keep His commandments, and you shall hear His voice, and you shall serve Him, and you shall cleave to Him.
Deut 13:5 And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall die, because he has spoken apostasy against YAHWEH your Elohim, who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, and has redeemed you out of the house of slaves, to drive you out of the way in which YAHWEH your Elohim has commanded you to walk. And you shall put away evil from among your midst.
If anyone comes declaring the Torah is done away with, even if he shall do some sort of miracle he cannot be the Messiah of Israel. What about Yahshua of Nazareth? The one whom the Christians call Jesus. The Christians have turned Him into a Greek messiah, but who really was Yahshua of Nazareth? What did He do and was He really the true Messiah of Israel?
The first thing to realize is that the Christian concept of the Torah being done away with is totally unscriptural and was never preached by Yahshua of Nazareth. If Yahshua of Nazareth preached about the Torah being done away with, then He could not be the Messiah of Israel. But look at what Yahshua said about the Torah from His own words.
Mat 5:17 Do not think that I came to annul the Torah or the Prophets; I did not come to annul, but to fulfill.
Mat 5:18 Truly I say to you, Until the heaven and the earth pass away, in no way shall one yod or one stroke pass away from the Torah until all comes to pass.
Mat 5:19 Therefore, whoever loosens one of these commandments, the least, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the worst in the kingdom of Heaven. But whoever does and teaches them, this one shall be called great in the kingdom of Heaven.
Mat 5:20 For I say to you, If your righteousness shall not exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of YAHWEH, never!
Clearly, Yahshua never said the Torah was done away with, but the very opposite; that the Torah would abide forever. The Christian Jesus who is portrayed as doing away with the Torah is not the same figure as Yahshua of Nazareth who was a Jew, from the House of David, who did not come to annul the Torah, but to fulfill it (Mat 5:17-20).
Let us look at some other scriptures about the Messiah of Israel and see if Yahshua of Nazareth is the one who fulfills to be the promised Messiah of Israel.
Mic 5:2 And you, Bethlehem Ephratah, being least among the thousands of Judah, out of you He shall come forth to Me to become One ruling in Israel; and His goings forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity.
Was Yahshua of Nazareth born in Bethlehem?
Mat 2:1 And when Yahshua had been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, the Magi arrived from the east to Jerusalem,
COMMENT: Yes, Yahshua was born in Bethlehem. Another interesting point to consider is that Bethlehem today is 100% occupied by Arabs, so if the Messiah of Israel has not been born yet, how will he be born in Bethlehem if it is 100% Arab controlled? Also, this scripture clearly states that “His goings forth have been from eternity”. This is the strongest language possible in the Hebrew tongue to show that the Messiah is eternal and not a created being but existed forever with Yahweh the Father.
What else is prophesied about the lineage of the Messiah of Israel?
Isa 11:1 And a Shoot goes out from the stump of Jesse, and a Branch will bear fruit out of his roots.
Isa 11:2 And the Spirit of YAHWEH shall rest on Him; He will have the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and power, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of YAHWEH.
Was Yahshua a Jew from the tribe of David?
Mat 1:1 The Book of the genealogy of Yahshua Messiah the Son of David, the son of Abraham:
COMMENT: Yes, Yahshua was from the tribe of David, now this is a very interesting point because after the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D all the records of lineage were destroyed at that time, and although modern DNA methods can trace someone back to being Jewish they cannot trace legal lineage back to King David, as no record today exists. Clearly the Messiah of Israel would have had to be born before the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D. Also, look
at this scripture in Malachi that also shows the Messiah would have to come before the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D.
Mal 3:1 Behold, I am sending My messenger, and He will clear the way before Me. And the Master whom you are seeking shall suddenly come to His sanctuary, even the Messenger of the Covenant, in whom You delight. Behold, He comes, says YAHWEH of Hosts.
Also, and of most importance is that the Messiah of Israel according to 1st Kings 5:5 would be a descendant of David through Nathan and not Solomon.
1st Ki 5:5 And, behold, I am commanding a house to be built to the name of YAHWEH my Elohim, as YAHWEH spoke to my father David, saying, Your son, whom I will appoint (Nathan) in your place on your throne, he shall build the house for My name.
The interesting part hidden within this verse is that in the original Hebrew the word for appoint comes from the word Nathan, and Yahweh is clearly showing that the lineage of the Messiah would not be through Solomon, but would
be through His replacement, his brother Nathan.
Was Yahshua’s lineage through Nathan and not Solomon?
Luke 3:31 the son of Melea, the son of Menan, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David,
COMMENT: Yes, Yahshua’s lineage was through Nathan not Solomon. The lineage of Solomon goes through the cursed line of Jeconiah, who was prophesied in Jeremiah 22:28-30 that he would never have a son to sit and prosper on the throne of Israel, so the Messiah could not come through the line of Solomon, but rather Nathan, as mentioned in the
book of Luke.
Jer 22:28 Is this man Jeconiah a despised, broken jar, or a vessel in which is no pleasure? Why are they hurled, he and his seed, and are cast into the land which they do not know?
Jer 22:30 So says YAHWEH, Write this man childless, a man who will not prosper in his days. For not one from his seed will succeed, a man sitting on the throne of David and ruling any more in Judah.
Another mystery about the Hebrew Messiah was that He would be born from a virgin birth.
Isa 7:13 And He said, Hear now, O house of David, is it too little that you weary men, but will you also weary my Elohim?
Isa 7:14 So, YAHWEH Himself will give you a sign: Behold! The virgin will conceive and will bring forth a son; and she shall call His name Immanuel. (Elohim is with us)
COMMENT: Verses 13 and 14 of Isaiah 7 are clearly a Messianic add-in that is not meant for King Ahaz but for the promised Messiah. You will notice in verses 9, 11, 16, and 17 that the “you” spoken to are singular, as it is speaking directly to Ahaz, but in verse 13 and 14, which is speaking to the nation the “you” is in the plural.
The word Almah used for virgin is a woman who has never had relations with a man. Also, it speaks of “The virgin“. When the definite article “the” is used this way in the Hebrew language it is not just talking about a virgin, but one specific one. In addition, when the word “behold” or “hineh” in the Hebrew is used in this fashion it also indicates that the coming phrase will be a future prophecy.
When you look at the context of Isaiah chapter 7, it is very clear that the prophecy is to the house of Judah to be going into captivity, but a promise and a sign is given to the House or Dynasty of David in verses 13 and 14 that Yahweh
would honor His covenant promise with David and they will not completely go into captivity until the Messiah would be born of a virgin.
Having a virgin give birth would be a tremendous sign that Yahweh was doing this. If this was speaking about just a normal woman giving birth where would be the sign?
Was Yahshua born of a virgin birth?
Luke 1:26 And in the sixth month, the cherub Gabriel was sent from the presence of Elohim to Galilee to the city whose name is Nazareth,
Luke 1:27 to a virgin who had been betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mariam.
Luke 1:30 And the angel said to her, Do not fear, Mariam, for you have found grace from Elohim.
Luke 1:31 For behold you will receive conception and bear a Son and you will call His name Yahshua.
Luke 1:32 This One will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. And YAHWEH Elohim will give Him the throne of His father David.
Luke 1:33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob to the ages, and of His kingdom there will be no end.
Luke 1:34 But Mary said to the angel, How will this be since I do not know a man?
Luke 1:35 And the cherub answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit will come and the power of the Highest will rest upon you. Because of this, He who is to be born of you is holy and will be called Son of YAHWEH.
COMMENT: Yahshua was born from a virgin birth as a sign of who He was. Also, this scripture shows that the Messiah would not only be born of a virgin, but also would be the very Son of Elohim. Immanuel literally means “El is with us” (Isaiah 7:14), and shows that the Messiah, although would come born in the flesh, born as a baby from a virgin, that also His origins as we read in Micah 5:2, would be from eternity.
Pro 30:4 Who has gone up to Heaven, and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in His garments? Who has made all the ends of the earth to rise? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name? Surely you know.
Psa 2:2 The kings of the earth have placed themselves; yea, the rulers have plotted together against YAHWEH and His Messiah, saying,
Psa 2:3 We will break their bands in two, and throw off their cords from us.
Psa 2:5 Then He will speak to them in His anger, and in His wrath He will terrify them;
Psa 2:6 Yea, I have set My king on My holy mount on Zion.
Psa 2:7 I will declare concerning the statute of YAHWEH: He said to Me, You are My Son. Today I have begotten You.
Psa 2:8 Ask of Me, and I will give the nations as Your inheritance; and as Your possession the ends of the earth.
Psa 2:9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Psa 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Oh the blessings of all those who flee to Him for refuge
John 3:16 For YAHWEH so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone believing into Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
COMMENT: These scriptures are clear solid proof that the Messiah would not be Yahweh the Father in Heaven, but His Son that came to earth to pay the penalty of the sins of Israel under the first covenant.
Acts 13:38 Then let it be known to you, men, brothers, that through this One remission of sin is announced to you.
Acts 13:39 And everyone believing in this One is justified from all things which you could not be justified by the Torah of Moses.
COMMENT: In the original covenant at Mount Sinai there was no forgiveness of murder, or idolatry or adultery, or blasphemy, only the death penalty. Not even on Yom Kippur could these sins be forgiven. When Yahshua came and
magnified the Torah, He showed us that sin starts in the mind. That to get angry with someone is actually murdering them in your heart, or to think lustful thoughts of a woman is as if you have committed adultery with her. He came to show us that according to the covenant made with Moses on Mount Sinai that all of us are under a death penalty for the sins that we have committed.
According to this covenant agreement there was no forgiveness for idolatry or adultery or blasphemy or murder, only the death penalty. This is why Yahshua, the Son of Yahweh had to come and pay the penalty for our sins that could not be paid under the first covenant. Under the first covenant the sins were only covered year by year to keep the
covenant relationship with Yahweh the Father, but they were never paid for and never removed. When Yahshua of Nazareth was crucified He actually paid the penalty and removed the sins of all persons who repent of their sins and
accept His sacrifice for them.
Now if the Messiah is the Son of Yahweh, then it would only stand to reason that He also must be an eternal spirit being and also be Elohim.
Isa 9:6 For unto us a Child is born; to us a Son is given; and the government is on His shoulder; and His name is called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty El, The Prince of Peace, The one who Fathered Everlasting life.
Isa 9:7 There is no end to the increase of His government and of peace on the throne of David, and on His kingdom, to order it, and to sustain it with justice and with righteousness, from now and forever. The zeal of YAHWEH of Hosts will do this.
COMMENT: So again we see that the Messiah is going to be born from a woman, as it states “a child is born”. But this is no ordinary child as His name is called “Wonderful Counsellor”. In the original Hebrew language He is called “Pele Yoeitz”. In Hebrew the word “Pele” translated “wonderful” can only be used for deity and is never used for a human being.
He is also called The Mighty El or “El Gibbor” in Hebrew. Again, this term can only be used for deity and never would be used for a mortal human being. So many in Judaism criticize believers in Yahshua for believing that He is also Elohim, as the Father is Elohim, but yet right here in the Tanach we clearly see that the Messiah of Israel will be divine and will be Elohim and not a mere mortal man. This is in no way giving credence to the unscriptural idea of the Father Yahweh in Heaven, being Yahshua His Son. Yahweh is the Father in heaven and is the source of all life and He is not Yahshua, but Yahshua is the Son of Yahweh. Yahshua never claimed to be the Father in heaven, but the Son of the Father in Heaven, but clearly from scripture He is also of a divine, eternal, existence and is also Elohim.
John 10:36 To Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world you say, You blaspheme! Concerning that I had told you that I am the Son of Elohim.
John 10:37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me.
Also, proving that Yahshua is not the Father Yahweh, but is the Son of Yahweh, consider these scriptures.
Mark 13:32 But concerning that day and the hour, no one knows, not the angels, those in Heaven, nor the Son, except the Father.
How could this be said if they are the same being?
1st Cor 15:25 For it is right for Him (Yahshua) to reign until He puts all enemies under His feet; (Psalms 110:1)
1st Cor 15:26 the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1st Cor 15:27 For “He (The Father) subjected all things under His (Yahshua) feet;” but when He says that “all things have been subjected, it is plain that it excepts Him” (The Father) who has subjected all things to Him (Yahshua). (Psalms 8:6)
1st Cor 15:28 But when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One (The Father) who has subjected all things to Him, that YAHWEH may be all things in all.
These scriptures clearly show that they are two separate beings, which each consist of the one spirit of Yahweh. Some will still ignorantly try to say that Yahshua is simply the human manifestation of Yahweh the Father; however,
scripture plainly shows two separate beings. Also, right now in Heaven the glorified, resurrected, Son of Yahweh, Yahshua, is not Yahweh the Father, but right now is seated next to Yahweh the Father at His right hand in Heaven.
Psa 110:1 [A Psalm of David.] A declaration of YAHWEH to my Adonai: Sit at My right hand, until I place Your enemies as Your footstool.
Heb 8:1 Now the sum of the whole thing is this: We have a High Priest, who is seated on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven:
Heb 10:12 But He, offering but one sacrifice for sins, “sat down” in perpetuity “at the right hand” of YAHWEH,
Heb 10:13 from then on expecting “until His enemies are placed as a footstool” under His feet.
Acts 7:56 And he said, Behold, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of man standing at the right of YAHWEH!
1st Pet 3:22 who going into Heaven is at the right hand of YAHWEH; cherubs, and authorities, and powers being made subject to Him.
Does scripture also support two beings in the one Yahweh family at creation?
Gen 1:26 And Elohim said, let Us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, a and over all the earth, and over all the creepers creeping on the earth.
Gen 3:22 And YAHWEH Elohim said, Behold! The man has become as one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put forth his hand and also take from the Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever,
Ecc 12:1a Remember now your Creators in the days of your youth,
Isa 48:16 Come near to Me; hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning. From its existence, I was there; and now YAHWEH Adonai, and His Spirit, has sent Me.
COMMENT: Notice in this Messianic scripture that the Messiah is both stating that He was with Yahweh at creation and that He was sent by Yahweh, proving again they are two separate beings that co-existed, eternally together.
Was Abraham approached by Yahweh and 2 cherubs in the book of Genesis?
Gen 18:1 And YAHWEH visually appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he was sitting at the door of the tent in the heat of the day.
Gen 18:2 And he lifted up his eyes and looked; and, behold, three men were standing by him. And he saw, and he ran to meet them from the entrance of the tent. And he bowed to the ground.
Gen 18:3 And he said, YAHWEH, if now I have found favor in Your sight, I beg You, do not leave from near Your servant.
Does Genesis 19 show us that there are two members of the Yahweh family?
Gen 19:24 Then YAHWEH (Yahshua, The Son YAHWEH, the one who appeared to Abraham in (Chapter 18:1) rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from YAHWEH (The Father) out of heaven;
COMMENT: Since no man has ever seen Yahweh the Father at any time (John 1:18, 1st John 4:12), then undoubtedly the one named Yahweh who appeared to Abraham in Genesis 18 and who rained fire and brimstone from Yahweh the Father in heaven was no other than Yahshua Yahweh, the Son of Yahweh and Messiah of Israel. Scripture clearly states that Yahshua pre-existed with Yahweh the Father and all things that were created, were created by Him and for Him. Unquestionably, from creation we see duality to the family of Yahweh. There is Yahweh the Father and His Son Yahshua Yahweh, Yahweh is the family name of our Creator; they are both creators and all things were created with the help of the Son. Nothing was created without Him. (For further evidence please see Lesson 3 on the Family of YHWH)
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.
John 1:2 He was in the beginning with Elohim.
John 1:3 Everything existed through His hands, and without Him, not even one thing existed of the things, which have existed.
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, glory as of an only begotten one from the Father, full of grace and of truth.
Col 1:15 who is the image of the invisible Elohim, the right of the First-born of all creation.
Col 1:16 For all things were created through Him, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, the visible and the invisible; whether imperial thrones, or dominions, or angelic orders, or authorities, all things were in His hand and have been created by Him.
Col 1:17 And He is before all things, and by Him all things are sustained.
Col 1:18 And He is the Head of the body, the Congregation, who is the Beginning, the First-born of the resurrection of the dead, that He be preeminent in all things;
Col 1:19 because it pleased Elohim to complete all things in Him,
Unmistakably, we have proven from the Tanach that The Messiah of Israel is not Yahweh the Father, but He is Yahshua the Son, and also Elohim, and divine and He existed forever. Even the scripture stated in Micah 5:2 about the
Messiah being born from Bethlehem states His days are from “eternity”, or in the original Hebrew “H’ Olam”, meaning no beginning or ending.
Mic 5:2b and His goings forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity.
Let’s look at a few more scriptures showing that the Messiah of Israel is Elohim and also a member of the Yahweh family.
Jer 23:5 Behold, the days come, says YAHWEH, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and act wisely, and He shall do justice and righteousness in the earth.
Jer 23:6 In His days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely. And this is His name by which He shall be called, YAHWEH TZEDEKENU (OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS).
Psa 45:2 You are the fairest of the sons of man; grace has poured into Your lips; on this account Elohim has blessed You forever.
Psa 45:3 Gird Your sword on Your thigh, Mighty One; with Your glory and Your majesty.
Clearly this is referring to the Messiah. Now look at verse 6-7.
Psa 45:6 Your throne, O Elohim, is forever and ever; the scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness.
Psa 45:7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore, Elohim, Your Elohim, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your fellows.
Notice in verse 6 the Messiah is called Elohim and in verse 7 it states that The Elohim of the first Elohim in verse 6 (The Messiah), will bless Him.
The Messiah of Israel is not Yahweh the Father, but His Son who was also the Messenger of Yahweh.
Exo 3:2 And the Messenger of YAHWEH appeared to him in a flame of fire from the middle of a thorn bush. And he looked, and behold, the thorn bush was burning with fire, and the thorn bush was not burned up!
Exo 23:20 Behold, I am about to send a messenger before you, to guard you in the way, and to bring you to the place which I have prepared.
Exo 23:21 Be on guard before Him, and listen to His voice. Do not be rebellious against Him, for He will not forgive your transgressions; for My name is in Him. (Yah-shua, means YAHWEH’S salvation)
The Messiah of Israel is the very Messenger of Yahweh from the Tanach. He was with Yahweh from eternity and was His very companion in all things.
Zec 13:7 O sword, awake against My Shepherd, and against the Mighty Warrior who is My Associate, says YAHWEH of Hosts. Strike the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered. And I will turn My hand on the little ones.
Also in the Great Shema in Deuteronomy 6:4, it shows the duality of Yahweh.
Deut 6:4 Hear, O Israel, YAHWEH our Elohim is YAHWEH (echad).
COMMENT: The word for united in Hebrew is “echad” and is used many times as a unity word, such as in Gen 2:24, where it states that a man shall leave his mother and father and cleave to his wife and the two shall become united (echad). Certainly we don’t think that husbands and wives are one person, but they should be echad, which means united in thought, united in mind, united in purpose. This is the relationship between the Yahweh the Father, and Yahshua the Son, His Messenger.
Let us see also what was written that the true Messiah of Israel must perform. If you look at the Torah and the oral writings of the Rabbis, and even the Dead Sea Scrolls you will find out that whoever the Messiah was to be, He would
have to open the eyes of the blind, heal the ears of the deaf, and cleanse the lepers as total proof that He truly was the real Messiah of Israel.
Isa 35:4 Say to those of a hasty heart, Be strong! Do not fear! Behold, your Elohim will come with vengeance; with the full dealing of Elohim, He will come (Y’shua*) and save you.
Isa 35:5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf opened.
Isa 35:6 Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing. For waters shall break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
Isa 35:7 And the mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty land shall become springs of waters, in the home of jackals, in its lair, and a place for the reed and rush.
Isa 35:8 And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called, The Way of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it. And it is for them, the one going in the way; yea, fools shall not go astray.
Did Yahshua work these miracles?
Mat 8:2 And behold, coming up, a leper worshiped Him, saying, Master, If You will, You are able to cleanse me.
Mat 8:3 And stretching out His hand, Yahshua touched him, saying, I will! Be cleansed! And instantly his leprosy was cleansed.
Mat 8:4 And Yahshua said to him, See that you tell no one, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. (again Yahshua upheld the Torah) Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. (again Yahshua upheld the Torah)
Luke 5:18 And, behold, men carrying on a cot a man who was paralyzed. And they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before Him.
Luke 5:19 And not finding a way through which they might bring him in through the crowd, going up on the housetop, they let him down through the tiles with the cot, into the midst, in front of Yahshua.
Luke 5:20 And seeing their faith, He said to him, Man, your sins have been forgiven you.
Luke 5:21 And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins except Elohim alone?
Luke 5:22 But knowing their thoughts, answering Yahshua said to them, Why do you reason in your hearts?
Luke 5:23 Which is easier, to say, Your sins have been forgiven you, or to say, Rise up and walk?
Luke 5:24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins, He said to the paralytic, I say to you, Rise up, and take your cot and go to your house.
Luke 5:25 And rising up at once before them, taking up that on which he was lying, he went to his house glorifying YAHWEH.
John 9:1 And passing by, He saw a man blind from his mother’s womb.
John 9:2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, Our Master, who sinned, this one, or his parents, that he was born blind?
John 9:3 Yahshua answered, Neither this one nor his parents sinned, but that the works of Elohim might be revealed in him.
John 9:4 It is necessary for Me to work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day. Night comes when no one is able to work.
John 9:5 While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.
John 9:6 Saying these things, He spat on the ground and made clay out of the spittle, and anointed clay on the blind one’s eyes.
John 9:7 And He said to him, Go, purify yourself in the baptismal of Siloam, which translated is Sent. Then he went and washed, and came seeing.
Not only did HE DO THESE MIRACLES, but He even commanded the weather and it obeyed Him and He also raised the dead.
Luke 8:22 And it happened on one of the days that He and His disciples entered into a boat. And He said to them; Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they put out to sea.
Luke 8:23 And as they sailed He fell asleep. And a storm of wind came onto the lake, and they were being filled and were in danger.
Luke 8:24 And coming up they awakened Him, saying, Master! Master! We are perishing! And being aroused, He rebuked the wind and the roughness of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.
Luke 8:25 And He said to them, Where is your faith? And being afraid, they marveled, saying to one another, Who then is this One, that He commands even the wind and the water, and they obey Him?
Luke 7:11 And it happened on the next day, He went into a city being called Nain. And many of His disciples went with Him; also a great crowd.
Luke 7:12 And when He approached the gate of the city, He saw a dead man while being escorted, who was the only son of his mother, and his mother was a widow. And a large crowed of the sons of the city was with her.
Luke 7:13 And Yahshua saw her and had compassion on her and said to her, Do not cry.
Luke 7:14 And coming up, He touched the coffin; and those carrying it stood still. And He said, Young man, I say to you, Arise!
Luke 7:15 And the dead one sat up and began to speak. And He gave him to his mother.
Luke 7:16 And fear took hold of all; and they glorified YAHWEH, saying, A great prophet has risen up among us; and, YAHWEH has visited His people.
Also, He had authority to command unclean spirits, and they had to obey Him.
Luke 8:27 And when He went out onto the land, a certain man from the city caught up to Him. In him had been a demons a long time. And he would not wear clothing and he would not dwell in a house, but would be in a cemetery.
Luke 8:28 And seeing Yahshua, and crying out, he fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, What have we to do with each other, Yahshua, Son of the Most High Elohim? I beseech You, do not torment me.
Luke 8:29 For He charged the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him, and he was bound with chains and bonds, being guarded. And tearing apart the bonds, he was driven by the demons into the desert.
Luke 8:30 And Yahshua asked him, saying, What is your name? And he answered, Legion (because many demons entered into him).
Luke 8:31 And they begged Him that He not order them to go away into the abyss.
Luke 8:32 And there was a herd of many pigs feeding there in the mount. And they begged Him that He would allow them to enter into those. And He allowed them.
Luke 8:33 And out went the devils from the man and entered into the swine. And that whole herd rushed to a cliff and fell into the lake and they drowned.
Luke 8:34 And seeing the thing, those feeding the pigs fled. And leaving, they reported to the city and to the villages.
COMMENT: Now some will blindly ask; “How do we know these stories are true?” But you must remember that these stories are written by four separate eye witnesses that were living in four separate regions mid-way through the first century A.D. This was at a time when there were no telephones, or e- mail to corroborate the stories with each other, and yet all four of these New Testament writers tell the same story and also many 1,000’s of witnesses also saw these things. If they were untrue it stands to reason that many other people living at this time would have written other documents trying to discredit the disciples of Yahshua. Even Talmudic writings prove these stories are true and the Rabbis admit in the Talmud that Yahshua did these miracles, and it even states in the Talmud that Yahshua healed people using the sacred name of Yahweh.
Only Yahshua of Nazareth fulfilled each and every prophecy stating what the Messiah would do, where He would come from and His main reason for coming; to pay the penalty for the sins that were committed under the first covenant.
Psa 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no Elohim! They acted corruptly; they did hatefully in deeds; there is none doing good.
Psa 14:2 YAHWEH looked down from Heaven on the sons of mankind, to see if there were any discerning and seeking Elohim:
Psa 14:3 they have all turned aside; together they have become filthy; there is none doing good, not even one!
Rom 3:23 for all sinned and fall short of the glory of YAHWEH,
Rom 3:24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption in Messiah Yahshua,
Rom 3:25 whom YAHWEH set forth as a sacrifice of atonement through faith in His blood, as a demonstration of His righteousness through the remission of our sins that are past, in the forbearance of Elohim
Acts 13:38 Then let it be known to you, men, brothers, that through this One remission of sin is announced to you.
Acts 13:39 And everyone believing in this One is justified from all things which you could not be justified by the Torah of Moses.
COMMENT: This is why the Messiah of Israel had to come and Yahshua of Nazareth, born in Bethlehem, a Jew from the House of David, who kept the Torah perfectly and set us an example in which we should follow, died to pay the penalty for such sins.
The next question that probably arises in your mind is if Yahshua was the promised Messiah, then why did the nation of Judah not accept Him in 27 A.D when He walked on the earth? The answer is very simple, that it was prophesied that the nation of Israel would reject Him so that He could be made the guilt offering for their sins.
Isa 53:1 Who has believed our report? And to whom is the arm of YAHWEH revealed?
Isa 53:2 For He comes up before Him, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form nor majesty that we should see Him; nor form that we should desire Him.
Isa 53:3 He is despised and abandoned of men, a Man of pains, and acquainted with sickness. And as it were hiding our faces from Him, He being despised, and we did not value Him.
Isa 53:4 Surely He has borne our sicknesses, and He carried our pain; yet we esteemed Him plagued, smitten by Elohim, and afflicted
COMMENT: Clearly, it was prophesied that the Messiah had to be rejected by the nation, or else how would He have been crucified and died for their sins? It is also prophesied here that the Messiah would suffer at the hands of the
leadership of the nation and be a guilt offering for the sins that they committed as mentioned above that could not be paid for under the first covenant.
Isa 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His wounds we ourselves are healed.
Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have each one turned to his own way; and YAHWEH made meet in Him the iniquity of all of us.
Isa 53:8 He was taken from prison and from justice; and who shall consider His generation? For He was cut off out of the land of the living; for the transgression of My people, the stroke was to Him.
Isa 53:10 But YAHWEH pleased to crush Him, to make Him sick, so that If He should put His soul as a guilt offering, He shall see His seed; He shall prolong His days; and the will of Yahweh shall prosper in His hand.
Isa 53:11 He shall see the life of light, the fruit of the travail of His soul; He shall be fully satisfied. By His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify for many, and He shall bear their iniquities.
Isa 53:12 Because of this I will divide to Him with the great, and with the strong He shall divide the spoil; because He poured out His soul to death; and He was counted with those transgressing; and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for those transgressors.
COMMENT: Clearly from these scriptures we see that not only was it prophesied that the Messiah of Israel would be a guilt offering for the sins of the people under the first covenant, but that He would also have to pay the death penalty for their sins in the place of the sinners that accept His sacrificed blood. It is very clear from the Torah that there is no forgiveness of sin without the shedding of blood.
Lev 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar, to atone for your souls; for it is the blood which makes atonement for the soul.
Sins cannot just be forgiven, as that is not righteousness, but their penalty must be paid for, and Yahshua of Nazareth paid this penalty by shedding His blood for all those who will accept His sacrifice and repent of their sinning and turn back to Yahweh and His Torah. You will never see in scripture forgiveness of sin without repentance first or it is mocking our Heavenly Father’s spirit of grace.
Heb 10:26 For if we are willfully sinning after receiving the full knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice concerning sins,
Heb 10:27 but he is ready for the fearful judgment and “zealous fire being about to consume the adversaries.”
Heb 10:28 For if he, who transgressed the law of Moses, died without mercies, at the mouth of two or three witnesses,” (Deuteronomy 17:6)
Heb 10:29 how much worse punishment do you think will be thought worthy to receive, the one trampling the Son of YAHWEH, and having counted the blood of the covenant as common in which he was sanctified, and having insulted the Spirit of grace?
Heb 10:30 For we know Him who has said, “Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay,” says YAHWEH. And again, “YAHWEH will judge His people.”
Heb 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living Elohim.
COMMENT: The Torah states in Deuteronomy 19:21, “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, and life for life”. The life of an animal is not equal with the life of a human so the Levitical sacrificial system never forgave sin (Hebrews 10:1-4) but simply reminded the people of their need for redemption that only the Messiah could bring by literally giving His life as a ransom for their life if they acknowledge their sin, repent and accept Yahshua’s sacrifice.
Also, and of most importance, according to the Torah it is life for life. Ezekiel 14:14 states that if Noah, Daniel, and Job, stood before me they would only save their own life, not another’s. Only if the Messiah was an eternal being, who created each and every human being as we have proven, could His life be worth more than all the lives of everyone combined that He created.
Anyone who claims that the sacrifice of the Messiah is giving them a license to continue to break the Torah and live in sin is not a true believer in Yahshua of Nazareth. Yahshua came to save us from our sins, not in our sins and after one accepts His shed blood for the forgiveness of those sins he/she must walk in newness of life and try to the best of his ability to uphold the spirit of the Torah and be a living sacrifice the way Yahshua was.
Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those in Yahshua Messiah, who do not walk according to flesh, but according to Spirit.
Rom 8:2 For the Law of the Spirit of life which is in Yahshua Messiah set me free from the law of sin and of death.
Rom 8:3 For the Torah being powerless, in that it was weak through the flesh, Elohim sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
Rom 8:4 so that the righteous demand of the Torah might be fulfilled in us, those not walking according to flesh, but according to Spirit.
The Torah is perfect, but we are not, and where the weakness of the Torah is, is that it can teach you right from wrong, but can’t change your heart to want to do the right and not the wrong. Our human nature from Adam and Eve is
actually hatred toward Yahweh and His Torah and only by the imparting of His spirit can it change that hatred for Yahweh and His Torah to a love for Him and His word.
Rom 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is enmity towards Elohim; for it is not subject to the Torah of Elohim, for it is not possible to be so.
Rom 8:8 And those being in the flesh are not able to please Elohim.
But once you repent of your sins and accept the blood of Yahshua of Nazareth as a replacement for the penalty of your sins committed, and are baptized into His name, you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit that will change yourmind and your heart from being against Yahweh’s Torah to loving Yahweh’s Torah. By being under the free gift of Yahweh (which is the shed blood of His Son) it will not do away with the Torah, but actually will establish it for true believers. (See lesson one, “Joining the New Covenant”)
Romans 3:31 Do we then nullify the Torah by faith? Far be it. On the contrary, we establish the Torah!
Let us look at a few more historical facts in Isaiah 53 that again show who was the only person in the history of Israel to fulfil these scripture.
Prophecy in Tanach
Isa 53:7 He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, but He did not open His mouth. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter; and as a ewe before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth.
New Testament Fulfilment
Mat 26:62 And standing up, the high priest said to Him, Do you answer nothing? What do these witness against you?
Mat 26:63 But Yahshua kept silent.
Prophecy in Tanach
Isa 53:9 And He appointed Him His grave with the wicked, but He was with a rich man in His death; though He had done no violence, and deceit was not in His mouth.
New Testament Fulfilment
Mat 27:38 Then two bandits were crucified with Him, one off the right, and one off the left of Him.
Mat 27:57 And late afternoon having come, a rich man from Arimathea (Joseph by name) who also himself was a disciple of Yahshua,
Mat 27:58 coming up to Pilate, this one asked for the body of Yahshua. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given.
Mat 27:59 And taking the body, Joseph wrapped it in a shroud of fine linen,
Mat 27:60 And he laid it in his new tomb which was hewn in rock. And they rolled a large boulder and they placed it upon the entrance of the tomb. And they departed.
Look at some other scriptures about the Messiah of Israel.
Prophecy in Tanach
Psa 22:18 They divide My garments among them, and they made fall a lot for My clothing.
New Testament Fulfilment
Mat 27:35 And having crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting a lot, that might be fulfilled that spoken by the prophet, “They divided My garments to themselves, and they cast a lot over My clothing.”
Prophecy in Tanach
Psa 69:21 They also gave Me gall in My food; and in My thirst they gave Me vinegar to drink.
New Testament Fulfilment
Mat 27:48 And at once, one of them running and taking a sponge, and filling it with “vinegar,” put it on a reed and “gave drink to Him.”
Prophecy in Tanach
Zec 11:12 And I said to them, If it is good in your eyes, give My price; and if not, let it go. And they weighed My price, thirty pieces of silver.
Zec 11:13 And YAHWEH said to Me, Throw it to the potter, the magnificent price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw it to the potter in the house of YAHWEH.
New Testament Fulfilment
Mat 27:3 Then Judas, the traitor, seeing that He was condemned, repenting, returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
Mat 27:4 saying, I sinned, betraying innocent blood. But they said, What is it to us? You see to it.
Mat 27:5 And tossing the silver pieces into the sanctuary, he left. And going away he hanged himself.
Mat 27:6 And taking the pieces of silver, the chief priests said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.
Mat 27:7 And taking counsel, they bought of them the field of a potter, for burial for the strangers.
Mat 27:8 So that field was called Field of Blood until today.
Mat 27:9 Then was fulfilled that spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of Him who had been priced, on whom they of the sons of Israel set a price,
Mat 27:10 and gave them for the field of a potter, as YAHWEH directed me.
COMMENT: If one is honest with oneself, it would absolutely be impossible for one man to fulfill all these prophecies and not be the Messiah of Israel. How could Yahshua force the soldiers to cast lots for His garments, or cause a rich man to bury Him after He was crucified?
Even the very timing of His arrival was prophesied in the book of Daniel.
Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are decreed as to your people, and as to your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make atonement for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy.
Dan 9:25 Know, then, and understand that from the issuing of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem, to Messiah the Prince, shall be seven weeks and sixty two weeks. It shall be built again, with a plaza and a trench, even in times of affliction.
Dan 9:26 And after sixty two weeks, Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself. And the people of a coming ruler shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end shall be with the flood, and ruins are determined, and war shall be until the end.
COMMENT: This prophecy written by the Prophet Daniel said that there would be 70 weeks of years until Jerusalem would again be the city of peace that was prophesied about it, then in verse 26 it states that when the decree went out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem and its walls that 69 weeks or 483 years would pass until the messiah would appear.
This decree went out by Artaxerxes in the year 457 B.C. If you count the 483 years from there you would come up with that the Messiah of Israel would appear in the year 27 A.D (Remember there is no zero year).The exact year Yahshua started His ministry. Now I ask you if Yahshua was not the Messiah of Israel, then who was the messiah of Israel that
appeared in 27 A.D? Remember from Malachi and other scriptures that He had to appear before the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D. Look at verse 26; it also states that the people of a coming Roman prince will destroy the sanctuary (Temple). So here is another proof that the Messiah had to come before the destruction of the Temple.
Verse 26 also states that “He will be cut off” (killed), but not for Himself, but for the sins of the people as Isaiah also stated. Only Yahshua of Nazareth fulfilled all these prophesies of scripture exactly as they were written.
The last 2 prophecies are the greatest. The first one is showing that the Messiah who had to die for the sins of Israel would not be left in the grave, but would be resurrected by Yahweh the Father in Heaven, again denoting two separate beings, for if Yahshua was the Father Yahweh in heaven, then who raised Him from the dead?
Prophecy in Tanach
Psa 16:10 For You will not leave My soul in Sheol; You will not give Your Holy One to see corruption.
New Testament Fulfilment
Mat 28:5 But answering, the cherub said to the women, You must not fear, for I know that you seek Yahshua who has been crucified.
Mat 28:6 He is not here, for He was raised, as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.
Mat 28:7 And going quickly say to His disciples that He was raised from the dead. And behold! He goes before you into Galilee. You will see Him there. Behold! I told you
The Messiah of Israel has not only conquered sin, but He has conquered death, and sits at the right hand of the Father in Heaven.
Psa 110:1 A declaration of YAHWEH to my Adonai: Sit at My right hand, until I place Your enemies as Your footstool.
Heb 10:12 But He, offering but one sacrifice for sins, “sat down” in perpetuity “at the right hand” of YAHWEH,
Heb 10:13 from then on expecting “until His enemies are placed as a footstool” under His feet.
And the last prophecy is the greatest, because it speaks about the return of the Messiah of Israel and the acceptance of the Jewish nation at His return.
Zec 12:10 And I will pour on the house of David, and on those living in Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of prayers. And they shall look on Me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they shall be bitter over Him, like the bitterness over the first-born.
Zec 12:12 And the land shall mourn, each family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;(notice it states at Messiah’s return the supremacy of Nathan NOT Solomon)
COMMENT: There is only one person in Israel’s history that has fulfilled all these prophesies; Yahshua of Nazareth. Only He was born of a virgin birth, raised the dead, healed the blind, the deaf, and the leper, and was crucified for the sins under the first covenant and was raised the 3rd day according to scripture by Yahweh the Father in heaven, and will come again soon, to fulfil the rest of the scriptures about His reigning on the throne of His father David forever.
1st Chron 17:10b and I declare to you that YAHWEH shall build a house for you;
1st Chron 17:11 and it shall be, when your days have been fulfilled to go away with your fathers, that I shall raise up your seed after you, who shall be of your sons, and I shall establish his kingdom.
1st Chron 17:12 He shall build a house for Me, and I shall establish his throne forever;
1st Chron 17:13 I shall become a Father to him, and he shall become a son to Me; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took it away from him who was before you;
1st Chron 17:14 and I will establish him in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be made to stand forever.
When Yahshua came the first time, the very first scripture He read in the synagogue in Nazareth was Isaiah 61 verse one and the first part of Isaiah 61:2.
Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth where he was brought up. And as was His custom, He went in on the day of the Sabbath, into the synagogue ,and He stood up for to read.
Luke 4:17 And the scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to Him. And unrolling the book, He found the place where it was written:
Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of YAHWEH is upon me and because of this, He has anointed me to declare the good news to the poor. And He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted and to preach release to the captives and sight to the blind. And to free those who are oppressed with forgiveness,
Luke 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of YAHWEH. (The Jubilee year)
That was His mission the first time He came to earth, to preach freedom to those who have been captives since the days of Adam by being captive to sin and their human nature. That is still the message for today. However, the second part of Isaiah 61:2 and verse 3 & 4 clearly show a second coming for Yahshua who is coming back soon to destroy all sinners and the unrighteous out of His Kingdom before He will rule all the earth from Jerusalem for the 7th millennium of mankind. That is the second part of Isaiah 61:2-4 and what the purpose of His second coming will be.
Isa 61:2 to proclaim the acceptable year of YAHWEH, and the day of vengeance of our Elohim; to comfort all who mourn;
Isa 61:3 to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of the spirit of infirmity, so that one calls them trees of righteousness, the planting of YAHWEH, in order to beautify Himself.
Isa 61:4 And they shall build old ruins; they shall raise up former desolations; and they shall restore the waste cities, ruins of generations and generations.
Rev 19:11 And I saw Heaven being opened. And, behold! A white horse, and He sitting on it having been called Faithful and True, And He judges and makes war in righteousness.
Rev 19:12 And His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns with many titles written on it, and one of the titles that had been written, no man knew but He Himself;
Rev 19:13 and having been clothed in a garment which had been dipped in blood. And His name is called The Word of YAHWEH.
Rev 19:14 And the armies in Heaven followed Him on white horses, being dressed in fine linen, white and pure.
Rev 19:15 And out of His mouth goes forth a sharp sword, that with it He might smite the nations. And He will shepherd them with an iron rod. And He treads the winepress of the wine of the anger and of the wrath of YAHWEH Almighty.
Rev 19:16 And He has on His garment and on His thigh a name having been written: KING OF KINGS AND MASTER OF MASTERS.
Conclusion
Yahshua, The Messiah of Israel is returning before the Jubilee to set up His Kingdom from Jerusalem, but this time He is not coming as the Lamb of Yahweh to pay the penalty for sin, He has already done that. He is coming as the Lion of Judah to burn up all unrighteousness and to come for His elect who will reign with Him forever (Hebrews 9:27). Many scriptures such as Isaiah 53 show the first coming of the Messiah to pay the penalty of sin, but other scriptures such as Zech the 14th chapter, clearly show the Messiah returning a second time to fight the enemies of Israel and set up the Kingdom of Yahweh.
There is no doubt of scripture speaking of the Messiah coming twice as Isaiah 9:6, it speaks of a child being born, as does Isaiah 7:13-14, whereas Zechariah 14, Isaiah 63:1-10 and Revelation 19:11-16 clearly shows the Messiah coming from heaven to fight the enemies of Yahweh.
Even in the most ancient writings of Israel it was prophesied of two Messiahs coming. Messiah Ben Yoseph, the suffering servant and Messiah Ben David the reigning king. And the Rabbis’ writings state that Messiah ben Yosef must die for the sins of the people and then, Messiah Ben David will come and raise him up. They simply did not know that it was the same Messiah coming twice and Yahweh the Father was the one doing the resurrecting (Psalms 16:10-11).
The Messiah of Israel was Jewish from the House of David; He was not Greek and did not have a Greek name. He lived as a Jew, ate like a Jew and had all the customs from His Israelite ancestry. It was hundreds of years later that pagan
Greek Historians made Him into a Greek character with a Greek name and Greek attributes, but the true Messiah of Israel came to die for His nation Israel and the sins under the first covenant. He kept the Torah perfectly, honored the Sabbath day every seventh day, went to Jerusalem for each feast day, and called upon His heavenly Father by His only true name,
Yahweh.
He also healed the sick, cleansed the leper, the crippled, and the blind and even raised the dead. He suffered for the capital sins that were committed under the first covenant, and died and was resurrected by Yahweh the Father and sits at His right hand in heaven today, and will soon be returning to set up the Kingdom of Yahweh to reign on this earth.
Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, He said to them, “Behold, days are coming, says YAHWEH, and I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah;
Heb 8:9 not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day of My taking hold of their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I rejected them, says YAHWEH.
Heb 8:10 Because this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says YAHWEH, I will put My Torah into their mind, and I will inscribe it on their hearts, and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.”
Heb 8:11 “And they shall no more teach each one their neighbor, and each one his brother, saying, Know YAHWEH; because all shall know Me, from the least of them to their great ones.
Heb 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and I will not at all remember their sins and their lawless deeds.”
Gal 3:27 For as many as were baptized into Messiah, you put on Messiah.
Gal 3:28 There cannot be Jew nor Aramean, there is no slave nor freeman, there is no male and female; for you are all one (echad), united in Messiah Yahshua.
Gal 3:29 And if you are of Messiah, then you are a seed of Abraham, even heirs according to the promise.
Points to Remember:
1) Yahshua is the only person who ever lived that fulfilled all Messianic requirements according to scripture.
2) Yahshua is not Yahweh the Father, but is the Son of Yahweh.
3) Yahshua eternally pre-existed with Yahweh the Father and was co-creator of all things.
4) Yahshua died to pay the penalty for all sins for those who will repent and in faith accept His sacrifice for the penalty of their sins.
5) As the Messiah of Israel, Yahshua is coming back again to reign as King of Peace in the Millennium kingdom.
