End Times Prophet

End Times Prophecy

 Covenant made with Abraham

Genesis 17:1 (KJV) 

    And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

The covenant  was for Abraham and his seed to walk before the Lord Perfect .

The Covenant was not Circumcision but perfection. .

·        “The Same as today Matthew 5:48 (KJV) Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. ”

Genesis 17:9 (KJV)  And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

God made the covenant with Abraham in

Genesis 15:17-18 (KJV) 

    And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. [18] In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

“Jesus did the Same under the New Covenant which we will look into latter”

The sign of the covenant was circumcision. Circumcision was not the covenant.

Genesis 17:11 (KJV) 

    And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

“token- oth; probably from Hebrew 225 ('uwth) (in the sense of appearing); a signal (literal or figurative), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc. :- mark, miracle, (en-) sign, token.”

Everyone that was circumcised was required to obey the commandment to walk perfect before Yahweh but Israel Broke Covenant with Yahweh and the Law of Moses had to be put into place because of transgression against the Abrahamaic covenant.

·        The sign that we as Christians have under the New covenant in Yahshua is that we circumcise the Heart .

Romans 2:29 (KJV) 

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

If Abraham and his seed Israel would walk perfect before Yahweh then they would inherit the Promise .The same with us today.Genesis 17:7-8 (KJV) 

    And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant,  to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

עוֹלָם‎—: o-lawm'   properly concealed, i.e. the vanishing point; generally time out of mind (past or future),

“This covenant was not made void by the Law of Moses it is an eternal one. It continued and is still in effect but Yahshua added to it .”

 [8] And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

This will not be completely established until the whole nation of Israel receives Yahshua as the Messiah Zech.3:9-10  fulfilling the 7th. seal and the Bondman is freed “ See the seven seals in the prophetic wonders now thru eternity” at Armageddon then they will have Jubilee and all the Land promised them they will inherit. Genesis 15:18b. from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

Because they transgressed the Abrahamaic covenant they never received the Land promised only a part of it .Through the Law even under David and Solomon this didn't happen showing that the Law of Moses couldn't  fulfill that promise.but they will when they receive Yahshua as Messiah and walk perfect unto righteousness in his teaching of instructions.

The whole nation of Israel will no longer sin nor transgress the covenant God Made with Abraham that they must walk before him, and be thou perfect.

We see this in Daniel 9:24 and at the end of the tribulation all these will be fiulfilled.

(1)"To finish (put an end to) the transgression." The Hebrew word pesha€ (HSN-
6588) means revolt; rebel; sin against lawful authority. It is often translated
"transgression" (
Psalm 51:1; Isaiah 43:25; etc.). This transgression has reference
to the sins of Israel at Jerusalem, the culmination of their sins when they will be
saved from all sin at the return of their Messiah who will turn ungodliness from
Jacob and convert the nation in a day (Romans 11:25-29; Isaiah 66:7-10; Ezekiel
36:24-30
).

(2)"To make an end of sins" concerning Israel and Jerusalem. This has never been
done, but will be accomplished at the second coming of Christ (Ezekiel 36:24-30;
Ezekiel 37:24-27; Ezekiel 43:7; Zech. 14
). The Spirit of repentance will be
poured out upon Israel just before the second coming, and a fountain for sin and
uncleanness will be opened to the whole nation at that time (Zech. 12:10-13:1;
Romans 11:25-29
).

(3)"To make reconciliation (atonement; Hebrew: kaphar (HSN-3722), to cover;
make atonement) for iniquity." This was done for Israel and all others on the
cross (Isaiah 53; Col. 1:20; Col. 2:14-17; 1 Peter 2:24), but Israel as a nation has
not yet experienced this covering for sin. They will be fully reconciled to God at
the second coming of Christ (Isaiah 1:18-20; Isaiah 66:7-8; Zech. 12:10-13:1;
Matthew 23:37-39; Romans 11:25-29
).

(4)"To bring in everlasting righteousness." When transgression comes to an end,
when an end of sins is made, and when full atonement for all sin is experienced
by Israel, then everlasting righteousness concerning Israel and Jerusalem will be
ushered in (Isaiah 9:6-7; Isaiah 12:1-6; Daniel 2:44-45; Daniel 7:13-14,18,27;
Ezekiel 43:7; Zech. 14; Luke 1:32-33; Romans 11:25-29; Rev. 11:15; Rev. 19:11-
20:10; Rev. 21:1-22:5
).

God has made a  new covenant with Israel or a  re-newed  covenant which we will deal with shortly .

We will se as well that the Law of Moses didn’t take the place of the Abrahamaic covenant that God made with Abraham and his seed.  Matter of fact we will see that through that covenant they where saved not the Mosaic one.

First we must understand why God had to bring forth the Law “ teaching of instructions” of Moses 

Galatians 3:19 (KJV) 

    Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

Israel broke covenant with Yahweh and didn’t walk in faith unto  rigorousness. The covenant was for all the seed of Abraham and they had to keep it to receive it. Genesis 17:9 (KJV)  And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

Eloheem/God had to make a temporary  Covenant with Moses and Israel because they transgressed broke the Abrahamaic covenant . The Promises could not be theirs until they became perfect and received Yahshua as the MESSIAH. Yahshua/Jesus had to come to make a Re-Newed Covenant with Israel

Ephes. 2:15 (KJV) 

    Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

·        This was the Making of the re-newed covenant it was made the same as in

Genesis 15:9-10 (KJV) 

    And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon. [10] And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.        בָּתַר‎—  baw-thar'; a primitive root, to:- divide.

“or Twain” Genesis 15:17-18 (KJV) 

    And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

Genesis 15: [18] In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

God had to remove the curse of the Instructions that was given to Moses. This curse was  due to the Transgression of the Abrahamaic Covenant which commanded perfection  “ same as the New”.   .  

Galatians 3:13-22 (KJV) 

    Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: [14] That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.   “ Luke 24:49 (KJV) And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. “Which was the Promise of the teaching of instructions being in you Jeremiah 31:31 –33 The New Covenant ”

”[15] Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. [16] Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. [17] And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, “ The Abrahamaic Covenant ”  the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. [18] For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. [19] Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made;

and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.   “The regulations of Moses” [20] Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

The true interpretation should read

[21] Is the law then — according to   the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. [22] But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

The promises of God were not in the Law of Moses but thru faith unto righteousness which saved Abraham and his seed.....

We see that the Covenant made with Abraham was of the Promise and the Law of Moses was only added. “but not part of the Covenant with Abraham” They where added because of Transgression of the Covenant made with Abraham. Which Covenant  are we looking for the Testament of Death given to Moses or are we looking toward the Promise given to the seed of Abraham

Galatians 3:23-29 (KJV) 

    But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. “ Because of the transgression of the Abrahamaic covenant  all of Israel was under the teaching of instructions of Moses until the Promised seed came which was Yahshua”  [24] Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 

“παιδαγωγός : pahee-dag-o-gos'  schoolmaster Vine's Words:

Instruct, Instruction, Instructor   from <G3816> (pais) and a reduplicated form of <G71> (ago); a boy-leader, i.e. a servant whose office it was to take the children to school; (by implication [figurative] a tutorpædagogue”]) :- instructor, schoolmaster.

Simply the teaching of instructions of Moses was just a Tutor to show us sin and which was a shadow of the things to come to past. We see this in the Rehearsals of the Feast of the Lord and the Sabbath which Yahshua fulfilled by his Birth, feast of Trumpets-—- Death, Passover-—  Resurrection-on the Sabbath, -—First fruits-Old Testament saints given to the Father on the first day of the week Sun, and Pentecost the promise of Yahwehs teaching of  instructions in ones heart. ”   [25] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. “After we are saved by faith unto righteousness we have no need to see our sin unless we fall back  into sin. 1 Tim. 1:9 (KJV)   Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,     The Law is not for the righteous.”

[26] For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. [27] For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. “Baptized into the Body of Christ, Then the Word dwealeth in us.”   28] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. [29] And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

We must also look at the three Covenants made or was their only two done that where eternal since God don’t Break Covenant.

1.     The Abrahamaic a true covenant was made by the separation or twain of flesh.

2.     The Mosaic The Word was spoken to Moses because of Transgression to Abraham’s Covenant.

3.     Yahshua’- He himself was that flesh that was made twain for us.

·        Only Abraham and Yahshua Covenant was made with the separation of flesh the only way an eternal covenant can be made.

Hebrews 8:1-8 (KJV) 

    Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; [2] A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

Hebrews 8:  [3] For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. [4] For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: [5] Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. [6] But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. [7] For if that “πρῶτος — pro'-tos—Former — “The one before this one Mosaic”” covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the    “δεύτερος— dyoo'-ter-os— afterward— after Mosaic”    [8] For finding fault with them, he saith, “Meaning - They where not walking with God Perfect as was commanded them .”

Jeremiah 31:31-34 (KJV)   Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:                                                                                                                                                                                                                           [new- Hebrew Word: ‏חָדַשׁ‎   Transliteration: ḥādash: khaw-dash'  a primitive root; to be new; causative to rebuild :- renew, repair]                                                                                                                              

“The Abrahamaic covenant was re-newed even with better promises”

Jeremiah 31: [32] Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; “ Not according to the Mosaic Covenant but the Abrahamaic one which is an eternal one ”

which my covenant they brake, “they transgressed the Abrahamaic one”  although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:

 

Jeremiah 31: [33] But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my “Teaching of instructions” in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.  “ Fulfilled at Pentecost for some but not all because of unbelief Israel was broken off until the end of the Tribulation when all will be saved at Armageddon on that Day Zech.3:9-10”  [34] And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sin no more.

Hebrews 8: [13] In that he saith, A “re”new“ed” covenant, he hath made the “πρῶτος — pro'-tos—Former — “The covenant  before this one the Mosaic””  old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

 

Zech.3:9-10  All he House of Israel will be saved in one day on that day at the 7th. Seal “The Bondman will be free of Bondage see the 7 seals in the prophetic wonders now thru eternity” at Armageddon. This will be on Yowm Kippur which will be a Jubilee and the Promise will be given to them.

Genesis 17:1 (KJV) 

    And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

Galatians 3:7 (KJV)  

Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

They which are Born again are of the seed of Abraham.

Galatians 3:16 (KJV)  

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

The promise was to the seed “singular” meaning they are only one seed of Abraham.

So if they are only one seed then Israel and the Christians are of the same seed.

We must go back to the Parable of the seed sower Mat.13:3-9 in the previous teaching of the Mingled seed.Every tree that bears fruit bears fruit of the same “its kind”

Galatians 3:29 (KJV) 

And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

 We whom are Christians are of Abrahams seed meaning that we are of the same tree.

Ephes. 2:11 (KJV)  

Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

We were once Gentiles but we are now of the seed of Abraham or part of Israel.

Isaiah 11:1 (KJV)  

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

1.      kho'-ter; Rod-a twig :

2.        geh'-zah; from an unused root meaning to cut down (trees); the trunk or stump of a tree (as felled or as planted) :- stem, stock.

3.      nay'-tser;Branch -a shoot; figuratively, a descendant : Beleivers are called nay-tser-ana.

4.      sheh'-resh; from Hebrew 8327 (sharash); a root (literal or figurative) :We could read Isaiah 11:1 as : And their shall come forth a twig or a sapling out of the hewned down tree or stump “Yahshua” of Jessie, and a christian shall grow out of his roots.

If an Olive tree is cut down then shoots ar small saplings will grow out from the stump.

 

How where Old Testament Saints saved?

James 2:23 (KJV) 
    And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

Galatians 3:6-9 (KJV) 
    Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
    [7] Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. [8] And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. [9] So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
Faith  pis'-tis; from Greek 3982 (peitho); persuasion, i.e. credence; moral conviction (of religious truth, or the truthfulness of God or a religious teacher), especially reliance upon Messiah for salvation;

Abraham was saved by faith unto righteousness looking forward to the Messiah.

Hebrews 11:13 (KJV) 
    These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

Saved by faith unto righteousness looking forward to the Messiah

Galatians 3:7-8 (KJV) 
   
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. [8] And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

Abraham even knew that the heathen would be saved by the Messiah and faith unto righteousness.

We must as well see that They where "scripture" Holy documents even in Abrahams day.

These could have been what Moses used latter to write the Book of Genises.

1 Cor. 10:4 (KJV) 
    And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

They looked forward to the cross and was saved by faith unto righteousness.

This was done through the Abrahamaic covenant  not the Mosaic one.

The Mosaic covenant couldnt bring redemption.


Moses' Law Annulled

This is how He took the law of Moses out of our way. He simply nailed it to the cross and annulled it's penalty so we could have a new start in life before God again. Figuratively, He killed the killer. He crucified the thing that brought guilt and death to all men (Romans 3:19-20; Romans 6:23; Romans 8:2-3; 2 Cor. 3:6-7; Ephes. 2:14-16). Ancient laws are said to have been abrogated by nailing them to a post.

 

Christ's Three Conquests

 

1.        Abolished and cancelled the law of Moses by:

      (1)  Blotting it out (Col. 2:14)

      (2)  Taking it out of the way (Col. 2:14)

      (3)  Nailing it to the cross (Col. 2:14)

2.        Fulfilled the rehearsals that the Law was.

(1)Born Tishri 1 Feast of Trumpets “see the Exact day of the Birth of the Messiah”

      (2)Fulfilled the Passover just as it had been practiced .word for word, hour by hour , Day By Day. Even with the atoneing blood on the Mercy seat of the Ark and all the vessals of the Ministry.

      Hebrews 9:20-21 (KJV)  Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. [21] Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

(3)Fulfilled unleavened Bread.

(4)Fulfilled the Sabbath .He is resurrected at 3pm. On Sat. the Sabbath. He was the Lord of the Sabbath and was resurrected on the Sabbath fulfilling it. Since first fruits couldn’t be delivered on the Sabbath he had to delay his ascending to the Father till they could be  because he had to fulfill the Law exactly as it had been practiced.

(4) Fulfilled First fruits Leviticus 23:11 (KJV)   And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

By the many Old Testament saints that where resurrected after his resurrection.  Yahshua was resurrected on the Sabbath but a few  hours latter he presented the first fruits to Yahweh. During the time he was with Mary “and before” the Old Testament saints the many went into the city for a witness of their resurrection ..

Matthew 27:53 (KJV)  And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Then Yahshua ascended on high with all the resurrected saints and the rest of the saints that were in Abrahams bosom to deliver Abrahams bosom to the paradise compartment in Heaven and to deliver the many resurrected old testament saints to Yahweh for a first fruits wave offering.

Psalm 68:18 (KJV)   Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.

Ephes. 4:8 (KJV)   Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

Many of the old Testament saints were the first fruits the wave offering these are the 12 of the 24 that are in Heaven before the tribulation begins.

  Rev. 4:4 (KJV)   And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

The Passover was not complete without the first fruits wave offering to the Father.

 

2.        Defeated the executors of the law by

 

       (1)   Spoiling or conquering them (Col. 2:15)

       (2)   Making a show of them openly (Col. 2:15)Defeated the executors of the law by:      

                (3)  Triumphing over them in the very cross that they thought was a triumph over Him (Col. 2:15; Acts 2:23-36; Acts 3:13-18; 1 Cor. 1:18-24; Ephes. 2:16; Col. 1:20-22) Greek: apekduomai (NT:554), to strip off clothes of another. Translated spoil (Col. 2:15), and put off (Col. 3:9).  Here it means Satan and his forces were stripped of their power to condemn and kill the race. The law was blotted out and they had no further claim to hold man in sin and bondage, as they did by means of the law

 

 

 Matthew 5:17-18 (KJV) 

    Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. [18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

destroy - kataluo,  kat-al-oo'-o; from Greek 2596 (kata) and Greek 3089 (luo); to loosen down (disintegrate), i.e. (by implication) to demolish (literal or figurative); specially [compare Greek 2646 (kataluma)] to halt for the night :- destroy, dissolve, be guest, lodge, come to nought, overthrow, throw down.

Fulfil- pleroo,  play-ro'-o; from Greek 4134 (pleres); to make replete, i.e. (literal) to cram (a net), level up (a hollow), or (figurative) to furnish (or imbue, diffuse, influence), satisfy, execute (an office), finish (a period or task), verify (or coincide with a prediction), etc. :- accomplish, × after, (be) complete, end, expire, fill (up), fulfil, (be, make) full (come), fully preach, perfect, supply.

·       Fulfilled Unleavened bread

·       Fulfilled First fruits     

Matthew 27:52-53 (KJV) 

    And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, [53] And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

·       Fulfilled the Sabbath – He was resurrected on the Sabbath

Sat. 3pm. The 9th. hour.            He is the Lord of the Sabbath.

Matthew 12:8 (KJV) 

For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

·       Pentecost fulfilled

Galatians 5:1 (KJV) 

    Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Galatians 5:4 (KJV) 

    Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

Romans 10:4- "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth"

2 Cor. 3:1-18 (KJV)  

Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 2Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 3Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 4And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 5Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

6Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 7But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: 8How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 9For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 10For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.

 

11For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 12Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 13And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 14But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.    15But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 16Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. 17Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Ephes. 2:12-16 (KJV) 

 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: [13] But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

 [14] For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; [15] Having abolished    in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; [16] And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

“Abolished  kat-arg-eh'-o; from Greek 2596 (kata) and Greek 691 (argeo); to be (render) entirely idle (useless), literal or figurative :- abolish, cease, cumber, deliver, destroy, do away, become (make) of no (none, without) effect, fail, loose, bring (come) to nought, put away (down), vanish away, make void.”

Acts 15:1-10 (KJV) 

And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. [2] When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. [3] And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.

Acts 15: [4] And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.

 [5] But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. [6] And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.

[7] And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. [8] And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;

Acts 15: [9] And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. [10] Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?   “Circumcision wasn’t what they couldn’t bear but the Law of Moses was.”

Acts 15:24 (KJV) 

    Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised,  “and” keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:   “The Apostles gave no such commandment to keep the Law of Moses or to be circumcised.

Romans 4:14 (KJV) 

    For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:  “Keeping The Law of Moses will not make you an heir but it will void your faith in Yahshua/Jesus and make the promise of no effect.”

Romans 7:6 (KJV) 

    But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. “ We have been delivered from the Law of Moses.”

Galatians 5:4 (KJV) 

    Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.  “ Plain and simple   “If you are under the Law you have fallen from Grace”

 

 

Col. 2:14 (KJV)

Col. 3:11 (KJV) 

    Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

1 Tim. 1:8-9 (KJV) 

    But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; [9] Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

“The Law is Good if we use it to show sin”

Galatians 4:5-11 (KJV) 

    To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. [6] And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. [7] Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

 [8] Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. [9] But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? [10] Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. [11] I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

Galatians 4:21-31 (KJV) 

    Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? [22] For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. [23] But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. [24] Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. [25] For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. [26] But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

 

Galatians 4: [27] For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. [28] Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. [29] But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. [30] Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman. [31] So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

So here is another allegory the Bondman being the one in bondage to the Law of Moses and the free man being heir to the Promises of Abraham and Yahshua.

 

Romans 2:23 (KJV) 

    Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?   “Those who Boast about the Law and cannot possibly abide by it dishonourest  God.”

 

Bible Proof That the Old Covenant Was Entirely Abolished

1.     The whole law of God and Moses, including the ten commandments, and all the civil and ceremonial laws based upon the ten commandments, was done away with and abolished in Christ on the cross and the new covenant now takes the place of the old one. This is plainly stated in 2 Cor. 3: "Who hath made us able ministers of THE NEW TESTAMENT.... if THE MINISTRATION OF DEATH, WRITTEN AND ENGRAVEN IN STONES (the ten commandments); was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance WHICH WAS TO BE DONE AWAY. For if THE MINISTRATION OF CONDEMNATION be glory, MUCH MORE doth THE MINISTRATION OF RIGHTEOUSNESS EXCEED IN GLORY. For even that (the old covenant) which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that (the old covenant) WHICH IS DONE AWAY was glorious, MUCH MORE that (the new covenant) WHICH REMAINETH is glorious.... not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that (the old covenant) WHICH IS ABOLISHED: But their minds were blinded: for UNTIL THIS DAY remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of THE OLD TESTAMENT; WHICH IS DONE AWAY IN Christ" (2

Cor. 3:6-15; Col. 2:14-17- Eph. 2:15).

The word "vail" in this verse 14 is not in the original Greek, so it is not only the vail that is "done away," but it is the old covenant itself WHICH IS DONE AWAY in Christ on the cross.

Some people may need an interpreter to explain this simple passage, but to the common reader it is clear that the old covenant has been "done away" and "abolished" entirely and the new covenant has taken its place. The ten commandments were the only part of the law that was written and engraven on tables of stone so they were done away with on the cross (Ex. 24:12; 31:18; 32:15; 34:1-4, 27-35; Deut. 4:13; 5:22; 10:4). Some people argue that it was only the glory of the old covenant that was done away, but what good is an old covenant that has lost its glory? Why contend that we should keep it when we have a better and a new covenant that is more glorious and which remains in force? Paul argues that the old covenant was given in glory, so if its glory is done away the covenant itself is also done away. Leaving out the second "glory" in verse 7 and the second "vail" in verse 14, which are not in the original Greek, we have the fact plainly stated in both verses that it is "the old testament; WHICH IS DONE AWAY IN CHRIST." In verse 15 the old covenant is called "Moses" thus proving that Moses gave the ten commandments.

Note the following contrasts between the old and new covenants is 2 Cor. 3: the first is "old" and the second is "new"; the first brought "death" and the second brings "life"; the first was "glorious" and the second is "much more glorious"; the first brought "condemnation" and the second brings "righteousness" which frees from condemnation (Rom. 8:1-4); the first was of "the letter" and the second is of "the Spirit"; the first had "no glory" in comparison to the second "by reason of the glory that excelleth"; the first was "done away" and "abolished" and the second "remaineth"; the first came by "Moses" and was "done away in Christ"; the first required a vail to hide the glory because it was "the ministration of death" but the exceeding glory of the second can be looked upon with "open face" because it is "the spirit that giveth life"; and the first brought blindness and bondage while the second brings enlightenment and liberty and changes character by the Spirit of the Lord.

A mere change in administration of the old covenant, the failure of either party in keeping it, or the place where it is written does not change the covenant from an old to a new one.

 

 

Nor does such change its glory in any sense, as some argue in trying to get around this plain Scripture which says three times that the old covenant was "done away" and once that it was "abolished" in Christ. Any change in the administration of a contract or the terms of a will would not change the will or contract itself. A will or a contract itself would have to be changed or a new one take the place of the old one if it would be "done away" and "abolished" as is here stated of the old covenant.

Why any cult, if its devotees had the slightest degree of honesty and faith that the Bible is the Word of God, would change the Word of God to fit some human theory is more than one can imagine. It would be much easier to accept the plain words of God and if human theories do not harmonize with them to throw such theories away and stick by God and His Word on all questions.

      2. Christ came to "fulfill" the law before He "abolished" it on the cross (Matt. 5:17, 18). The Greek word for "fulfill" is plero, to satisfy, execute, finish, end, make complete, and cause to expire. It is translated "fulfilled" in connection with many prophecies which came to an end when they were fulfilled (Matt. 1:22; 2:15, 17, 23; 4:14; 8:17; 12:17; 13:35; 26:54-56; 27:9, 35; etc.). That the law also ceased to be in force when it was "fulfilled" is clear from Matt. 11:13- Luke 16:16; 24:27, 44; Gal. 3:19-25. The law was only a shadow of things to come and when these realities came the mere type, picture, or shadow of them was no longer needed (Col. 2:14-17; Heb. 4:1-11; 8:1-6; 9:1-10; 10:1-18).

      3. "The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ" (John 1:17). This not only proves that the law was not made known before Moses, out that it was replaced by the new covenant of grace and truth when Christ came.

3.        Law keeping was not required by the apostles: "But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful TO CIRCUMCISE them [Gentile Christians], and TO COMMAND THEM TO KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES. And the apostles and elders came together for TO CONSIDER OF THIS MATTER. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said . . . Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear.... Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, AFTER THIS [the church age] I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David,

which is fallen down, and I will build the ruins thereof, and I will set it up....

Wherefore my sentence is, THAT WE TROUBLE NOT THEM, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: But that we write unto them, THAT they abstain FROM fornication, and FROM things strangled, and FROM blood. For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him [his law, the old covenant], being read in the synagogues every sabbath. THEN pleased it the apostles and elders AND THE WHOLE CHURCH to send men.... they wrote letters by them AFTER THIS MANNER; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren WHICH ARE OF THE GENTILES.... Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us [Jews in the early church who have been under the law from birth] have TROUBLED YOU WITH WORDS, SUBVERTING YOUR SOULS, saying, YE MUST BE CIRCUMCISED, and KEEP THE LAW: to whom WE GAVE NO SUCH COMMANDMENT.... For it seemed good TO THE HOLY GHOST, and TO US, to lay upon you no greater burden than THESE NECESSARY THINGS; THAT ye abstain FROM meats offered to idols, and FROM blood, and FROM things strangled, and FROM fornication [all fleshly lusts as in Gal. 5:19-21]; FROM WHICH IF YE KEEP YOURSELVES, YE SHALL DO WELL" (Acts 15:5-29).

The apostles here did away with all keeping the law and circumcision and stated in no uncertain terms that Gentiles were not to keep the law of Moses, which included the old Jewish sabbath. This is the Christian position in all this age. However, if this decision could have been made by some modern teachers it would have been law and sabbath-keeping as the sum total of salvation.

Included in this apostolic decree that Christians are not to keep the law in any detail, was the very sign of law keeping which was abolished - circumcision. Even those who keep the Jewish sabbath do not practice this, thus proving again their inconsistency in requiring men to keep a law they themselves do not keep (Ex. 12: 44-48; Lev. 12:3; John 7:22-23). Circumcision was required as a sign of the covenant that God made with Abraham (Gen. 17:9-14). The new covenant does not require it (Rom. 4:11; 1 Cor. 7:18; Gal. 2:3; 5:1-5). This change proves that the new covenant is not the same as the one made with Abraham as taught by some people today. If it is the same covenant circumcision would also be required in the New Testament.

 

 

 

 

      5. Concerning meats and sabbath days: "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. LET EVERY MAN BE FULLY PERSUADED IN HIS OWN MIND. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it.... But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.... So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. LET US NOT THEREFORE JUDGE ONE ANOTHER ANY MORE" (Rom. 14:1-13; Gal. 4:9-11; Col. 2:14-17). If the law of Moses, including the fourth commandment, was in force in the new covenant the above statements would never have been written by Paul. Each Christian can do as he pleases concerning the sabbath and he is not to be judged by his brother "ANY MORE."

      6. Christian experiences do not come by the law: "Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?.... the law is not of faith: but, the man that doeth them [things of the law] shall live in them.... how turn ye AGAIN to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage?" (Gal. 1:6-9; 2:15-21; 3:1-12, 19-25; 4:1-3, 19-31; 5:l-9, 11-21). Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years [that the law required]. I am afraid of you, Lest I have bestowed labour upon you in vain" (Gal. 3:1-12; 4:9-11). Going back to observe sabbaths according to the law is spoken of here as going back into the bondage of the law. If one does this "he is a debtor to do the whole law" (Gal. 5:3).

      7. The law was added because of transgressions, TILL THE SEED [Christ] SHOULD COME to whom the promise was made.... But before faith came [that Christ brought in the gospel and the new covenant, Heb. 12:1, 2], we were kept under the law, shut up unto that faith WHICH SHOULD AFTERWARDS BE REVEALED.... Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ THAT we might be justified by faith. BUT AFTER that faith is come, WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER A SCHOOLMASTER" (Gal. 3:19-25). Not being "under" law is here explained as being out from under its authority like one who is no longer under a schoolmaster when he graduates from school. The law is not in force and it has no claim or authority over the person under the new covenant. He is under the obligation to keep the new covenant laws and commandments, which include new laws that were never part of the old covenant, as well as those old laws that God saw fit to make a part of the new covenant.

      8. The law, including the ten commandments, has been "CAST OUT": "Tell me, YE THAT DESIRE TO BE UNDER THE LAW, do ye not hear the law. For it is written, that Abraham had TWO SONS.... he who was of the BONDWOMAN was born after the flesh; but he of the FREEWOMAN was by promise. WHICH THINGS ARE AN ALLEGORY: for THESE ARE THE TWO COVENANTS THE ONE FROM MOUNT SINAI, which GENDERETH TO BONDAGE, which is Agar (Hagar).... and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and IS IN BONDAGE with her children. But Jerusalem which is above IS FREE, which is the mother of us all.... Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. BUT AS THEN he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that is born after the Spirit, EVEN SO IT IS NOW. Nevertheless what saith the Scripture? CAST OUT THE BONDWOMAN [the first or old covenant FROM MOUNT SINAI] AND HER SON [those under the law]: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. So then, brethren, WE ARE NOT CHILDREN OF THE BONDWOMAN [the old ten commandment covenant and its many laws], BUT OF THE FREE [the new covenant]. Stand fast therefore IN THE LIBERTY wherewith Christ hath made us FREE, and BE NOT ENTANGLED AGAIN WITH THE YOKE OF BONDAGE [the old covenant].... For I testify again to every man that is circumcised [no man had any part in the old covenant unless he was circumcised], that he is a debtor TO DO THE WHOLE LAW" (Gal. 4:21-31; 5:1-5, 18).

Modern law keepers never mention this passage, for there is no possible way for them to explain such simple language as the old covenant "from Sinai" being "cast out" with all its sons who are under bondage and death. The old covenant of commandments that brought death has no more relationship to people under the new covenant than Hagar and Ishmael had with Sarah and Isaac. Abraham was the father of both Ishmael and Isaac, but Ishmael had no part in Isaac's inheritance (Gen. 21:9-21). God was the author of both covenants, but one was designed to bring death and guilt of sin, and the other was designed to bring life and freedom from sin. There can be no keeping of both, for the reasons given in Point 12 below.

      9. The law was a covenant of types and shadows and was abolished when the realities of those shadows appeared. "Having ABOLISHED in his flesh the enmity [the law of bondage and death], EVEN THE LAW OF COMMANDMENTS contained in ordinances... . BLOTTING OUT [making void] the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and TOOK IT OUT OF THE WAY,

NAILING IT TO HIS CROSS.... let no man therefore judge you in MEAT, or in DRINK, or in respect of AN HOLYDAY, or of THE NEW MOON, or of THE SABBATH DAYS: WHICH ARE A SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME; but the body [or reality of which those things were mere shadows] is of Christ" (Eph. 2:15; Col. 2:14-17).

Followers of Moses today naturally attempt to explain away some of the Next Testament passages which state that the old law or covenant has been "abolished," but the more they attempt such an impossible job the more ridiculous their position becomes. It is like trying to sink a battleship with a blow gun. It cannot be done. In trying to explain away the passages mentioned above they say that "the law of commandments" referred to the ceremonial law, and that "the sabbath days" of Col. 2:14-17 were the ceremonial sabbaths and not the weekly sabbath.

It is strange that they take this position for wherever "commandments" and "sabbath days" are found at every other place in Scripture they argue that they refer to the ten commandments and the weekly sabbaths. This only magnifies the inconsistency of their doctrine as well as their plain and open rebellion against the Word of God. If they are the sole representatives of God on Earth as they claim it is strange that they would fight God and His own Word.

Regardless of what old covenant disciples say about these passages, it is certain that Paul was not one with them because he did not one time require men to keep any certain day, especially the old fourth commandment sabbath. The Greek word for "sabbath" is in the plural and the word "days" is not in the original language, so it should read "sabbaths." It is the same Greek word used of the weekly sabbaths in 59 other places, so it must refer to the weekly sabbath as well as any other sabbath of the old covenant.

The weekly sabbath as well as the other sabbaths is part of the ordinances given by God to Moses. The weekly sabbath was the first of eight feasts of the Lord in Lev. 23, "Concerning THE FEASTS OF THE LORD, which ye shall proclaim TO BE HOLY CONVOCATIONS, EVEN THESE ARE MY FEASTS. Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, AN HOLY CONVOCATION; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD IN ALL YOUR DWELLINGS." After commanding this weekly "feast" and "holy convocation" the Lord next commanded the seasonal "feasts" and "holy convocations," which were to be kept "IN THEIR SEASONS" (Lev. 23:2-4). Thus we have a "weekly feast" and "seasonal feasts" and all were to be "holy convocations" and times of rest and holy worship.

In Lev. 23:38, after giving the seven seasonal feasts, which were given after the weekly feast, the Lord said, "These are the feasts of the Lord.... Besides THE SABBATHS of the Lord," referring to the weekly sabbaths, thus proving that the word "sabbaths" includes the weekly sabbath as much as it does all other sabbaths. See also Ex. 31:13-17; Ezek. 20:12, 20, or any place where "sabbaths" is found, and one will have to acknowledge that the weekly sabbath is included in the word "sabbaths" in Col. 2:14-17.

All these "feasts" were to be observed "for ever" (Lev. 23:14, 31, 41), so the theory of some that the weekly sabbath is the only eternal feast is unscriptural. All eight feasts were part of one eternal law that would have continued eternally if man could have kept his part of the contract. Since man could not keep it and there was no provision in it to make a man righteous and capable of keeping it, then it had to be set aside for the new covenant which does not have faults like the old one, as seen in Points 11 and 12 below. When the old law was "abolished," the weekly sabbath (the sign of the old covenant to commemorate the deliverance from Egypt) was done away, with all other sabbaths and parts of the old law. The fact is, that eternal terms are used profusely in the so-called ceremonial part of the law of Moses, but not one time are they used in connection with the ten commandments of Ex. 20:1-17, Deut. 5:1-21, so it can be proved with more authority that the ceremonial part of the law was external and the ten commandments were temporary if we are going to use eternal terms as the basis of proof.

The Greek word for ordinances is dogma, a civil or religious law (Luke 2:1; Acts 16:4; 17:7; Eph. 2:15; Col. 2:14). As we have already proved and will see more fully in Point X below, the ten commandments were part of God's law to Israel, and since the whole law has been abolished, there are no grounds to prove that the law of commandments in Eph. 2:15 refers to all the laws except the ten commandments. If such commandments were the basis of the whole law as all men agree, then they would have to be included in the law of commandments that was abolished in Christ on the cross. As we have seen in Point I above, it is the ten commandments that are singled out as having been "done away" and "abolished." As we have seen above, the weekly sabbath is part of the ceremonial law. Therefore, when men admit that the "sabbaths" in Col. 2:14-17 refer to the ceremonial sabbaths they state the truth, but this does not mean that the weekly sabbath is not included in all the old law ceremonial sabbaths.

      10. The old law was imperfect and had to be changed. Christ came "after the order of Melchizedek" and not after the Levitical priesthood which could not bring perfection and under which "the people received the law.... For the priesthood BEING CHANGED, there is made of necessity A CHANGE [abolishment] ALSO OF THE LAW.... For there is verily A DISANNULLING OF THE COMMANDMENT going before for THE WEAKNESS AND UNPROFITABLENESS THEREOF. FOR THE LAW MADE NOTHING PERFECT, but the bringing in of a better hope did.... By so much was Jesus made a surety of A BETTER TESTAMENT. . . . For the law maketh men priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, WHICH IS SINCE THE LAW, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. . . . But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry [than old covenant priests], by how much also he is the mediator of A BETTER COVENANT, which is established upon better promises. For if THAT FIRST COVENANT [from Sinai, Gal. 4:21-31] had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for THE SECOND. But finding fault with them, he saith . . . A NEW COVENANT, he hath made THE FIRST OLD [obsolete]. Now that [old covenant] which decayeth [is obsolete, discarded] and waxeth old is ready to vanish away [to be abrogated]. Then verily THE FIRST COVENANT had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.... Which was A FIGURE FOR THE TIME THEN PRESENT. . . . Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal [human] ordinances, imposed on them UNTIL THE TIME OF THE REFORMATION [setting things right of the new order] . . . for this cause he is the mediator of THE NEW COVENANT, that by means of death, FOR THE REDEMPTION OF THE TRANSGRESSIONS THAT WERE UNDER THE FIRST TESTAMENT, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth [the new covenant was not in force until Christ died]. Whereupon neither the FIRST TESTAMENT was dedicated without blood. For when Moses had spoken EVERY PRECEPT [including the ten commandments] to all the people ACCORDING TO ALL THE LAW, he took the blood of calves and of goats.... and sprinkled both THE BOOK and ALL THE PEOPLE, Saying, THIS IS THE BLOOD OF THE TESTAMENT which God hath enjoined unto you.... For THE LAW HAVING A SHADOW OF GOOD THINGS TO COME, and NOT THE VERY IMAGE OF THE THINGS can never ... make the comers thereunto perfect.... Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He TAKETH AWAY [abolishes] THE FIRST [old covenant], THAT HE MAY ESTABLISH THE SECOND [new covenant]" (Heb. 7:11, 12, 22, 28; 8:6-18, 9:1, 9, 10, 15-22; 10:1-18).

The word "establish" here means to enact the laws of the new covenant, while the word as used in Rom. 3:31 means that the righteousness of the old covenant is upheld in the new covenant by fulfilling that righteousness in men, not by the keeping of the old law, but by faith in Christ provided by the new covenant (Rom. 8:1-4; Gal. 2:15-20, 3:1-14; 5:1-26).

The many passages in Hebrews and in the other points above are clear in themselves that the old covenant with the ten commandments and all the laws given to Moses were abolished, abrogated and annulled.

Fifteen Things that the Law Could Not Do

1.     Justify (Acts 13:38-39; Galatians 2:16)

2.     Free from sin and death (Romans 8:2)

3.     Free from condemnation (Romans 8:1-4)

4.     Redeem (Romans 3:24-31; Galatians 3:13-14)

5.     Give inheritance (Romans 4:13-14)

6.     Bring righteousness (Romans 8:4)

7.     Impart Holy Spirit (Galatians 3:2)

8.     Perform miracles (Galatians 3:5)

9.     Free from the curse (Galatians 3:10-14)

10.   Impart faith (Galatians 3:12)

11.   Impart grace (Galatians 5:4)

12.   Make perfect (Hebrews 7:19)

13.   Control sin in man (Romans 7:7-23; Romans 8:2)

14.   Keep man from sin (Romans 7:7-23; Romans 8:7)

15.   Enable a man to obey (Hebrews 7:18)

·        The Law Moses' Annulled

This is how Jesus took the law of Moses out of our way. He simply nailed it

to the cross and annulled it's penalty so we could have a new start in life

before God again. Figuratively, He killed the killer. He crucified the thing

that brought guilt and death to all men (Romans 3:19-20; Romans 6:23;

Romans 8:2-3; 2 Cor. 3:6-7; Ephes. 2:14-16). Ancient laws are said to have

been abrogated by nailing them to a post.

hwhy          YahWeh

The divine sacred name of GOD YahWeh is in the ancient Tanach (the Old Testament )  almost 7,000 times. Since the Achaemenid period, the Levite led to the custom of not pronouncing the name of YahWeh. Through time the divine name of God, which is YahWeh, was taken out of the Tanach and replaced with titles such as (1st. the ALL and then 2nd.Adoney) then the English translators

changed it to the LORD). First we must look at the reason why the Levi Priest took out the sacred name of our creator. It tells us not to take the name of the LORD “YahWeh” thy GOD “Eloheem” in vain Exodus 20:7 (KJV)  Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord “YahWeh” thy God “ Eloheem” in vain; for the LorD  “YahWeh” will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

The Levite priest did it to try and safeguard the Divine Sacred Majesty in the minds of man. They didn’t want the common person or the infidel to take the name YahWeh in vain.

What they did was take the name almost completely out from our lips even in our prayers. Though the motive was pure, the reason given is not good enough and is invalid. Why is it invalid?

1.      Because its suppression was a mistake and this mistake cannot be corrected to soon. An unwarrantable Liberty has been taken from us because of our lack of knowledge of this. GOD tells us that we die from lack of knowledge. It wasn’t their place to change his sacred name on their own.

The word vain means  shawv  desolating; evil  literal (ruin) false  ; uselessness]  What they have done is take the sacred name of GOD YahWeh and made it useless. The name’s Adonay ,and Lord are titles given to landowners in England and other parts of the world. YahWeh is much more than a land owner or master. There is a big difference in a title and a sacred name. GOD says in.

Deut. 12:32 (KJV)  What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

What they did is take away and diminish the sacred name YahWeh with just a title.

Jesus or Yahshua tells us in Matthew 5:18 (KJV)  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law ”Torah”, till all be fulfilled. Nothing shall pass away including his sacred name. We are to fear the name of YahWeh Malachi 4:2(KJV) But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. ( Healing in the corner, hem or taitsit of his tallit / prayer shawl )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

God /  Eloheem tells us his name and that it is forever to be remembered in Exodus 3:15   And  ( Eloheem'; ) said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, ( YAHWEH ) the ( Eloheem'; )of your fathers, the( Eloheem';)of Abraham the( Eloheem'; ) of Isaac, and the ( Eloheem';) of Jacob, hath sent me unto you:

this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

 The name of YahWeh is to be proclaimed forever and never to be changed.

We read in Psalm 113:1 (KJV)Praise ye ( YAHWEH). Praise, O ye servants of  ( YAHWEH ), praise the name of ( YAHWEH ).  We have been praising the name of YahWeh and didn’t even know it. Halleluyah means praise be to YahWeh;

“Hallelu means praise be to” and “ Yah is the contracted form of YahWeh”. There is no J in Hebrew or Greek when we change the spelling from Halleluyah to Hallelujah we take away the Yah which means YahWeh.

Hallelujah / Halleluyah = Hallelu  (YAH)

Hallelu - Praise be to  ( YAH) - YAHWEH psalms (106, 111-113, 135, 146-150),

 

Josephus writes that they are 4 vowles on the head of Yahshua’s turban.

They are four vowles that make the name of YahWeh h-w-h-y
                                                                                             he                  -   vav -                    he     -                Yodh

yodh – he – vav –he

 


Some believe that Jehovah is the sacred name of Eloheem but this is not true. Many Hebrew scholars even go as far to call the name Jehovah; by names such  as Mongrel. Hybrid and monstrous so lets look at the facts. What happened was the English Scholar Galatinus in the year 1520 took the combination of the sacred Tetragrammaton and the vowels in the Hebrew Word LORD, substituted by the Jews JHVH, because they shrank from pronouncing the name for fear of man from taking the sacred name of YahWeh in vain.They changed the vowel syllables of YahWeh  hwhy  yodh-he- vav-he = YHWH which means He who becometh    (’ ehyeh ‘ aser ‘ ehyeh= I Am who I Am) and changed them to vowel continents

Then they took the vowel syllables or vocals of adonay ('“ynda) ,the hatef patah becoming a mere shewa because of the yodh of yhwh (hwhy) in Hebrew or Lord in English and added them to the vowel continents of YHWH and came up with the name Yahovah then they took the contracted name of YahWeh “Yah” and changed it to an English Jeh making it Jehovah which made it even more hybrid because “Yah” isn’t in it any more. What we come up with is the hidden name of YahWeh as a title in the Word Adonay and Lord and in a hybrid Masoretic form of the Word Jehovah. Is not a hidden name a contradiction in terms? Does not the Word “name” in the Bible very widely imply Revelation?

 

 

Men’s names are throughout the scriptures taught with significance ,enshrining  historical events and biographical reminiscences, and so forth; and why should the sacred name of our ever blessed be an exception to the rule! Does not the Almighty Himself employ this name of his as though it had in it some self-evident force and fitness to reveal His nature and unfold His ways! His name is continually introduced to us through the scriptures by Himself for what He does and what He is. His name was to be known and understood. “for I am YahWeh”

 

The Angel came to Miryam the Hebrew name for Mary and he said in Matthew 1:21 (KJV)   And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name “Yahowshu” Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

The Hebrew name for Jesus is  Yahshu`a ;   which means  YahWeh is our saviour.

 YAH                    is the short form of YahWeh

 SHUA ;                means salvation

Nov.2002 a stone burial box found in Jerusalem with the inscribed name ;

Yaakov ,bar, Yoseph  akh  Yahshua  =  Jacob son of Joseph brother of Jesus

Jacob is James in English      This proves the correct spelling for Yahweh and Yahshua.

  The contracted form of Yah is in many Hebrew names such as

 Elijah ;      ELI-YAH-U –                    Prophet of YahWeh

Matthew ;      MATTITH-YAH-U –     gift of YahWeh

Isaiah ;       YESHA-YAH-U –           YahWeh has saved

   Jeremiah ;      YIRME-YAH-U –       YahWeh will rise

Yah being the primary in each name.

    The Word of Eloheem/GOD tells us why the Jews were scattered and how they will be brought back to YahWeh and to know his name.

Zech. 1:16-21 (KJV)  Therefore thus saith; ( YAHWEH ) I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: ( YahWeh will be merciful to the Jews again ) my house shall be built in it, saith ( YAHWEH )  of hosts, ( The Temple of YahWeh will again be rebuilt ) and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem. 17Cry yet, saying, Thus saith ( YAHWEH ) of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; ( The Jews were spread abroad and because of their prosperity they would not return to Israel for hundreds of years, but through hard times and persecution they have began to come back to Israel. This mainly started in the late 1890’s .) (YAWHEW ) shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. 18Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. ( These four horns are symbolic of fallen Angels horns are many times Angels or Angels representing the Kingdoms they control.)19And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. ( These Horns are the Angels or the Heads of the first four Empires in Dan.7. 1. The Babylonian Empire the 3rd. head on the beast Rev 13,17/ Dan.7:4 .

2.      the Medo-Persian Empire 4th.head on the Beast Rev.13,17 /Dan.7:5, 8:2-7

3.      the Grecian Empire the 5th. Head on the Beast Rev. 13,17 /Dan.7:6 , 8:5-8.

4.      and the Roman Empire the 6th. Head on the beast Rev.13 ,17 /Dan.7:7 .

 These scattered Israel and Judah all over the World the four corners.) 20And ( YAWHEW ) shewed me four carpenters. 21Then said I, What come these to do? ( These Carpenters are also Angels YahWeh’s Angels what was Jesus “Yahowshu” ?)

And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.

Jeremiah 16:14-21 (KJV)  Therefore, behold, the days come, saith ( YAHWEH ) that it shall no more be said, ( YAHWEH ) liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 15But, ( YAHWEH ) liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers. ( YahWeh has brought them back into their homeland the promisland. This is still happening today and will be completed when YahWeh sends his Angels to the four corners of the Earth to gather his elect the Jewish elect Mt.24:31, Mk.13:27 just before the battle of Armageddon when the whole nation of Israel gets saved in one day Zech.3:9-10.)

16Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith ( YAHWEH ) and they shall fish them; ( Eloheem has sent many fishers after them this started mainly in the late 1890’s when Thelemen Hertzel started calling for the Jewish people to come back to Israel and begin to form a Jewish State.Through prosperity the Jews stayed away from Israel but when persecution and hard times began to befall the Jews they began to migrate back to Israel. In the early 1900’s millions of Jews fled Persecution. During this time Rabbi Ellezer Ben Yehuda brought back the Hebrew Language and started teaching the Terach to the Jews .)  and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. ( One of the biggest hunters was Hitler ;he hunted and killed millions of the Jews that had not migrated to Israel through the years mainly the ones that were rebellious and prosperous through the years and wouldn’t leave Europe.)17For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes. 18And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double;  ( Part of this was done by Hitler )because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things. 19O ( YAWHEW ) my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, ( This will be the Tribulation of 7 years or Jacobs Trouble) the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. ( After the Tribulation and many during the tribulation period will have their eyes opened and receive Yahshua or Jesus as their Messiah.) 20Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? 21Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is. ( YAHWEH ) 

1 Kings 18:22                     Elijah; Eli-Yah- u    which means prophet of YAHWEH     Then said Elijah “ EliYahu” unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of  “the LORD’S” ( YAHWEH ) ; but Baal's  ( The lord )   prophets are four hundred and fifty men.( If you read this verse and have an understanding of the Words Baal and Lord then the verse would go like this. Then said Elijah unto the people I ,even I only ,remain a prophet of the Lords ;but the lords prophets are four hundred and fifty men.) The title Lord’s just don’t hit the mark it should read   “ Then said Eiyahu unto the people I, even I only , remain a prophet of YahWeh’s ;

but the lords prophets are four hundred and fifty.”

 

Jeremiah 12:16-17   Because you have taught my people to swear by (  the lord)“ Baal ” instead Of calling upon my name  ( YAHWEH ) I am going to send the entire Nation into captivity. When you return if you still refuse to teach my name to my people. I will utterly pluck up and destroy the Nation. ( YahWeh wants his name and his commandments taught to his people this is one of the reasons for them being scattered abroad and blinded.)

We read in Exodus 9:16 (KJV)  And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

Eloheem raised up Pharaoh of Egypt to show his glory and for this to declare his name YahWeh not the title the Lord all over the Earth.

When Joshua sent the 2 spy’s to spy out the land Rehab the Harlot said in Joshua 2:9-11   And she said unto the men, I know that  YahWeh hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you. 10For we have heard how  YahWeh dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. 11And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for  YahWeh your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath. ( They feared the name of YahWeh not the title “the Lord “ because they were Lords themselves. )

Luke 13:35    Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of Yahweh. ( YahWeh is our saviour )When Jesus/Yahshua came teaching and performing miracles he was asked by what authority do you do these. Since they wouldn’t answer him he wouldn’t answer them. They knew that he wasn’t from the Levite priesthood . But he came after the order of Melchizedek which proceeded the Levite priesthood and supercedes them.

Psalm 110:4 (KJV)  ( YAHWEH ) hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

 mal-kee-tseh'-dek;  - Mellic-King / Sadic - Righteous  [proceeded and succeeded  the priest hood of Aaron ]

 

 

 

Yahshua tells us how to pray in Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV)  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father [ This is the immediate statement of our relationship with the King of the Universe. The Pharesses frequently started their prayers with “our Father””Avinu in Hebrew” and cited Hosea 11:1.] which art in heaven, [ This recognizes His role as King and Ruler of the Universe. The pharisses used this phrase which is Sh’ba shamayim in Hebrew. Psalm 115:16 says,” As for the Heavens, the heavens are YahWeh’s, but the earth He has given to mankind.”   Hallowed be thy name. [His name must be made holy. It is a command for us to honor his name “Yahshua” and for us also to abide by his commandments and If we love Him we will obey.] 10Thy kingdom come.  [ This is a call for His reign to begin here on the earth . This is to be done by His servants who obey His commandments now and to pray for the Messiah to come soon. Jesus said that you shall know that the kingdo is upon us when he casts out demons by a finger of Eloheem “God”Lk.11:20.He also said that the Kingdom of Eloheem”GOD” is within you in LK.17:21] Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. [ YahWeh’s will for us .This is not a call for Eloheem “GOD”to  do things for us but rather for us to obey His commandments so He can use us for His glory.]   11Give us this day our daily bread.

[ This bread is necessarily for our existence. This is Knowledge Wisdom and Understanding of the Word . Yahshua tells us that if we love Him we will keep His commandments and he and his Father will come and make their abode with us or manifest themselves to us.]  12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. [ This is telling us we must forgive them that have done us wrong or He will not forgive us.] 13And lead us not into temptation, [ We are many times tested by Eloheem “GOD”.

Eloheem “GOD”  does not tempt us but He does test us we are To stand on the Word of Eloheem “God” and not to waver. We are tested so that we can grow in Eloheem “GOD:.] but deliver us from evil: [ After we have acknowledged that YahWeh is our creator and the King of the Universe, the one to whom we owe everything that we have and submit ourselves to his will in our lives then he will deliver us from all evil. The Word tells us in 3 John 1:2 (KJV)   Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.   We are told here to seek Eloheem “GOD” and sanctify ourselves by the washing of ourselves in the Word and by this our souls will prosper and he can deliver us. YahWeh supplies all our needs ,including deliverance from all evil spirits, sickness, poverty and so on. Yahshua said in

 Mt.7:7-8 (PNT) “And I say to you continually ask and it will be given unto you, you must continually seek and you will find, you must continually knock and it will be opened to you, for everyone that asks takes and the one who seeks finds and for the one who knocks it will be opened.”     

 For thine is the kingdom, [ Eloheem “GOD” is the Ruler and King of the Universe and also means In Matthew 12:28 (KJV)  But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. That all that have the spirit of living Eloheem “GOD” should expect  every promise in the Word including eternal life as long as they are obedient to his Word.

  and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. [ Eloheem “GOD” is all power we should give him all glory forever.]

 It says in 1 Tim. 1:4 (KJV)  Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

Yahshua kept the Teaching of Instruction but done away with the fables rules and traditions of man.

When Jesus/Yahshua preached and taught he taught against the man made traditions and doctrine of man not against the Teaching of Instruction or the Tenach. Jesus said in

Matthew 5:17-18 (PNT) 17   Do not think that I came to annul, to bring an incorrect interpretation to, the Teaching of Instruction or the Prophet. I did not come to annul but to bring spiritual abundance, for the Teaching of Instruction to be obeyed as it should be and Eloheem “GOD’s promises to receive fulfillment. 18 For truly I say unto you; until the sky and the Earth would pass away, not one yod or one vav could ever pass away from the Teaching of Instruction, until everything would come to pass. 19 Therefore, whoever would break one of the least of these commandments, and would teach people this way , will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens: but whoever would do the commandments and would teach them , will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens. “see the feast of Yahweh “ the Lord”

 ( In the King James Version The Law should have been translated the Torah the first five books of the Tanach (old Testament) which means Teaching of Instruction.

The Prophets  are called Neviim or the books of Joshua, Judges , 1Sam., 2Sam., 1Kings, 2Kings, Isa., Jer., Ezek., then the 12 prophets.

Yahshua Kept the Teaching of Instructions because he was born of and under them.

They where required to keep them until the promise of the new covenant came. It had not came and would not come until he was gone away “he didn’t come to annul they where annulled after  his death” then the comforter came and the new covenant with it.

But we must understand what teaching of Instructions exactly was he talking about that would bring spirtual Abundance .It wasn’t the law of Death that would only show us our sin but it was the Eternal covenant that was made with Abraham where he and his seed must walk perfect before the Lord.

Lets look at that covenant.

 Covenant made with Abraham

Genesis 17:1 (KJV) 

    And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

The covenant  was for Abraham and his seed to walk before the Lord Perfect .The Covenant was not Circumcision but perfection. .

·        “The Same as today Matthew 5:48 (KJV) Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect

Genesis 17:9 (KJV)  And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

God made the covenant with Abraham in

Genesis 15:17-18 (KJV) 

    And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. [18] In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

“Jesus did the Same under the New Covenant which we will look into latter”

The sign of the covenant was circumcision. Circumcision was not the covenant.

Genesis 17:11 (KJV) 

    And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

“token- oth; probably from Hebrew 225 ('uwth) (in the sense of appearing); a signal (literal or figurative), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc. :- mark, miracle, (en-) sign, token.”

Everyone that was circumcised was required to obey the commandment to walk perfect before Yahweh but Israel Broke Covenant with Yahweh and the Law of Moses had to be put into place because of transgression against the covenant.

·        The sign that we as Christians have under the New covenant in Yahshua is that we circumcise the Heart . Romans 2:29 (KJV) 

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

If Abraham and his seed Israel would walk perfect before Yahweh then they would inherit the Promise.

Genesis 17:7-8 (KJV) 

    And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant,  to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

עוֹלָם‎—: o-lawm'   properly concealed, i.e. the vanishing point; generally time out of mind (past or future),

“This covenant was not made void by the Law of Moses it continued.”

 [8] And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

This will not be completely be established until the whole nation of Israel receives Yahshua as the Messiah Zech.3:9-10  fulfilling the 7th. seal and the Bondman is freed “ See the seven seals in the prophetic wonders now thru eternity” at Armageddon then they will have Jubilee and all the Land promised them they will inherit. Genesis 15:18b. from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

They have never inherited all this land because of transgression of the Abrahamaic covenant but they will when they receive Yahshua as Messiah and walk perfect unto righteousness in his teaching of instructions.

The whole nation of Israel will no longer sin nor transgress the covenant God Made with Abraham that they must walk before him, and be thou perfect.

 God has made a  new covenant with Israel or a  re-newed  covenant which we will deal with shortly .

We will se as well that the Law of Moses didn’t take the place of the Abrahamaic covenant that God made with Abraham and his seed.  Matter of fact we will se that thru that covenant they where saved not the Mosaic one.

First we must understand why God had to bring forth the Law “ teaching of instructions” of Moses 

Galatians 3:19 (KJV) 

    Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

Israel broke covenant with Yahweh and didn’t walk in faith unto  rigorousness. The covenant was for all the seed of Abraham and they had to keep it to receive it. Genesis 17:9 (KJV)  And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

Eloheem/God had to make a temporary  Covenant with Moses and Israel because they transgressed broke the Abrahamaic covenant . The Promises could not be theirs until they became perfect and received Yahshua as the MESSIAH. Yahshua/Jesus had to come to make a Re-Newed Covenant with Israel

Ephes. 2:15 (KJV) 

    Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

·        This was the Making of the re-newed covenant it was made the same as in

Genesis 15:9-10 (KJV) 

    And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon. [10] And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.        בָּתַר‎—  baw-thar'; a primitive root, to:- divide.

“or Twain” Genesis 15:17-18 (KJV) 

    And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

Genesis 15: [18] In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

God had to remove the curse of the Instructions that was given to Moses. This curse was  due to the Transgression of the Abrahamaic Covenant which commanded perfection  “ same as the New”.   .  

Galatians 3:13-22 (KJV) 

    Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: [14] That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.   “ Luke 24:49 (KJV) And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. “Which was the Promise of the teaching of instructions being in you Jeremiah 31:31 –33 The New Covenant ”

”[15] Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. [16] Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. [17] And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, “ The Abrahamaic Covenant ”  the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. [18] For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. [19] Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made;

and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.   “The regulations of Moses” [20] Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

The true interpretation should read

[21] Is the law then — according to   the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. [22] But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

The promises of God were not in the Law of Moses but thru faith unto righteousness which saved Abraham and his seed.....

We see that the Covenant made with Abraham was of the Promise and the Law of Moses was only added. “but not part of the Covenant with Abraham” They where added because of Transgression of the Covenant made with Abraham. Which Covenant  are we looking for the Testament of Death given to Moses or are we looking toward the Promise given to the seed of Abraham

Galatians 3:23-29 (KJV) 

    But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. “ Because of the transgression of the Abrahamaic covenant  all of Israel was under the teaching of instructions of Moses until the Promised seed came which was Yahshua”  [24] Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 

“παιδαγωγός : pahee-dag-o-gos'  schoolmaster Vine's Words:

Instruct, Instruction, Instructor   from <G3816> (pais) and a reduplicated form of <G71> (ago); a boy-leader, i.e. a servant whose office it was to take the children to school; (by implication [figurative] a tutorpædagogue”]) :- instructor, schoolmaster.

Simply the teaching of instructions of Moses was just a Tutor to show us sin and which was a shadow of the things to come to past. We see this in the Rehearsals of the Feast of the Lord and the Sabbath which Yahshua fulfilled by his Birth, feast of Trumpets-—- Death, Passover-—  Resurrection-on the Sabbath, -—First fruits-Old Testament saints given to the Father on the first day of the week Sun, and Pentecost the promise of Yahwehs teaching of  instructions in ones heart. ”   [25] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. “After we are saved by faith unto righteousness we have no need to see our sin unless we fall back  into sin. 1 Tim. 1:9 (KJV)   Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,The Law is not for the righteous.”

[26] For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. [27] For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. “Baptized into the Body of Christ, Then the Word dwealeth in us.”   28] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. [29] And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

We must also look at the three Covenants made or was their only two done that where eternal since God don’t Break Covenant.

1.     The Abrahamaic a true covenant was made by the separation or twain of flesh.

2.     The Mosaic The Word was spoken to Moses because of Transgression to Abraham’s Covenant.

3.     Yahshua’- He himself was that flesh that was made twain for us.

·        Only Abraham and Yahshua Covenant was made with the separation of flesh the only way an eternal covenant can be made.

Hebrews 8:1-8 (KJV) 

    Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; [2] A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

Hebrews 8:  [3] For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. [4] For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: [5] Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. [6] But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. [7] For if that “πρῶτος — pro'-tos—Former — “The one before this one Mosaic”” covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the    “δεύτερος— dyoo'-ter-os— afterward— after Mosaic”    [8] For finding fault with them, he saith, “Meaning - They where not walking with God Perfect as was commanded them .”

Jeremiah 31:31-34 (KJV)   Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:                                                                                                                                                                                                                           [new- Hebrew Word: ‏חָדַשׁ‎   Transliteration: ḥādash: khaw-dash'  a primitive root; to be new; causative to rebuild :- renew, repair]                                                                                                                              

“The Abrahamaic covenant was re-newed even with better promises”

Jeremiah 31: [32] Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; “ Not according to the Mosaic Covenant but the Abrahamaic one”

which my covenant they brake, “they transgressed the Abrahamaic one”  although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:

 

Jeremiah 31: [33] But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my “Teaching of instructions” in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.  “ Fulfilled at Pentecost for some but not all because of unbelief Israel was broken off until the end of the Tribulation when all will be saved at Armageddon on that Day Zech.3:9-10”  [34] And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sin no more.

Hebrews 8: [13] In that he saith, A “re”new“ed” covenant, he hath made the “πρῶτος — pro'-tos—Former — “The covenant  before this one the Mosaic””  old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

 

Zech.3:9-10  All he House of Israel will be saved in one day on that day at the 7th. Seal “The Bondman will be free of Bondage see the 7 seals in the prophetic wonders now thru eternity” at Armageddon. This will be on Yowm Kippur which will be a Jubilee and the Promise will be given to them.

Genesis 17:1 (KJV) 

    And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

Galatians 3:7 (KJV)  

Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

They which are Born again are of the seed of Abraham.

Galatians 3:16 (KJV)  

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

The promise was to the seed “singular” meaning they are only one seed of Abraham.

So if they are only one seed then the Jews and the Christians are of the same seed.

We must go back to the Parable of the seed sower Mat.13:3-9 in the previous teaching of the Mingled seed.Every tree that bears fruit bears fruit of the same “its kind”

Galatians 3:29 (KJV) 

And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

 We whom are Christians are of Abrahams seed meaning that we are of the same tree.

Ephes. 2:11 (KJV)  

Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

We were once Gentiles but we are now of the seed of Abraham or part of Israel.

Isaiah 11:1 (KJV)  

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

1.      kho'-ter; Rod-a twig :

2.        geh'-zah; from an unused root meaning to cut down (trees); the trunk or stump of a tree (as felled or as planted) :- stem, stock.

3.      nay'-tser;Branch -a shoot; figuratively, a descendant : Beleivers are called nay-tser-ana.

4.      sheh'-resh; from Hebrew 8327 (sharash); a root (literal or figurative) :We could read Isaiah 11:1 as : And their shall come forth a twig or a sapling out of the hewned down tree or stump “Yahshua” of Jessie, and a christian shall grow out of his roots.

If an Olive tree is cut down then shoots ar small saplings will grow out from the stump.

 

 Matthew 5:17-18 (KJV) 

    Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. [18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Galatians 5:1 (KJV) 

    Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Galatians 5:4 (KJV) 

    Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

Romans 10:4- "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth"

2 Cor. 3:1-18 (KJV)  

Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 2Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 3Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 4And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 5Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

6Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 7But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: 8How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 9For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 10For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.

 

11For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 12Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 13And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 14But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.    15But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 16Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. 17Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Ephes. 2:12-16 (KJV) 

 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: [13] But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

 [14] For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; [15] Having abolished    in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; [16] And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

“Abolished  kat-arg-eh'-o; from Greek 2596 (kata) and Greek 691 (argeo); to be (render) entirely idle (useless), literal or figurative :- abolish, cease, cumber, deliver, destroy, do away, become (make) of no (none, without) effect, fail, loose, bring (come) to nought, put away (down), vanish away, make void.”

Acts 15:1-10 (KJV) 

And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. [2] When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. [3] And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.

Acts 15: [4] And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.

 [5] But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. [6] And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.

[7] And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. [8] And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;

Acts 15: [9] And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. [10] Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?   “Circumcision wasn’t what they couldn’t bear but the Law of Moses was.”

Acts 15:24 (KJV) 

    Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised,  “and” keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:   “The Apostles gave no such commandment to keep the Law of Moses or to be circumcised.

Romans 4:14 (KJV) 

    For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:  “Keeping The Law of Moses will not make you an heir but it will void your faith in Yahshua/Jesus and make the promise of no effect.”

Romans 7:6 (KJV) 

    But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. “ We have been delivered from the Law of Moses.”

Galatians 5:4 (KJV) 

    Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.  “ Plain and simple   “If you are under the Law you have fallen from Grace”

 

 

Col. 2:14 (KJV) 

    Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; “ This is how Yahshua fulfilled the Law of Moses he nailed it to the cross.”

Col. 3:11 (KJV) 

    Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

“All are the same in Christ If they are obedient to his New Covenant”

1 Tim. 1:8-9 (KJV) 

    But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; [9] Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

“The Law is Good if we use it to show sin”

Galatians 4:5-11 (KJV) 

    To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. [6] And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. [7] Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

 [8] Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. [9] But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? [10] Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. [11] I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

Days/Sabbaths —Months /New Moons—   Times/Feast Of the Lord   —  Years  / New year Tishri 1   —

·          “  All of these are Bondage and Grace is in vain to all that observe them.Gal.5:4

Galatians 4:21-31 (KJV) 

    Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? [22] For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. [23] But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. [24] Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. [25] For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. [26] But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

 

Galatians 4: [27] For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. [28] Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. [29] But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. [30] Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman. [31] So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

So here is another allegory the Bondman being the one in bondage to the Law of Moses and the free man being heir to the Promises of Abraham and Yahshua.

 

Romans 2:23 (KJV) 

    Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?   “Those who Boast about the Law and who cannot possibly abide by it dishonourest  God.”

Are we a going to follow a shadow or the real thing.

 

Moses' Law Annulled

This is how He took the law of Moses out of our way. He simply nailed it to the cross and annulled it's penalty so we could have a new start in life before God again. Figuratively, He killed the killer. He crucified the thing that brought guilt and death to all men (Romans 3:19-20; Romans 6:23; Romans 8:2-3; 2 Cor. 3:6-7; Ephes. 2:14-16). Ancient laws are said to have been abrogated by nailing them to a post.

 

Christ's Three Conquests

 

1.        Abolished and cancelled the law of Moses by:

      (1)  Blotting it out (Col. 2:14)

      (2)  Taking it out of the way (Col. 2:14)

      (3)  Nailing it to the cross (Col. 2:14)and done away at Pentecost.

2.        Fulfilled the rehearsals that the Law was.

(1)Born Tishri 1 Feast of Trumpets “see the Exact day of the Birth of the Messiah”

      (2)Fulfilled the Passover just as it had been practiced .word for word, hour by hour , Day By Day. Even with the atoneing blood on the Mercy seat of the Ark and all the vessals of the Ministry.

      Hebrews 9:20-21 (KJV)  Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. [21] Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

(3)Fulfilled unleavened Bread.

(4)Fulfilled the Sabbath .He is resurrected at 3pm. On Sat. the Sabbath. He was the Lord of the Sabbath and was resurrected on the Sabbath fulfilling it. Since first fruits couldn’t be delivered on the Sabbath he had to delay his ascending to the Father till they could be  because he had to fulfill the Law exactly as it had been practiced.

(4) Fulfilled First fruits Leviticus 23:11 (KJV)   And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

By the many Old Testament saints that where resurrected after his resurrection.  Yahshua was resurrected on the Sabbath but a few  hours latter he presented the first fruits to Yahweh. During the time he was with Mary “and before” the Old Testament saints the many went into the city for a witness of their resurrection ..

Matthew 27:53 (KJV)  And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Then Yahshua ascended on high with all the resurrected saints and the rest of the saints that were in Abrahams bosom to deliver Abrahams bosom to the paradise compartment in Heaven and to deliver the many resurrected old testament saints to Yahweh for a first fruits wave offering.

Psalm 68:18 (KJV)   Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.

Ephes. 4:8 (KJV)   Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

Many of the old Testament saints were the first fruits the wave offering these are the 12 of the 24 that are in Heaven before the tribulation begins.

  Rev. 4:4 (KJV)   And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

The Passover was not complete without the first fruits wave offering to the Father.

 

3       Defeated the executors of the law by

 

     (1)               Spoiling or conquering them (Col. 2:15)

     (2)               Making a show of them openly (Col. 2:15)Defeated the executors of the law by:    

          (3)     Triumphing over them in the very cross that they thought was a triumph over Him (Col. 2:15; Acts 2:23-36; Acts 3:13-18; 1 Cor. 1:18-24; Ephes. 2:16; Col. 1:20-22) Greek: apekduomai (NT:554), to strip off clothes of another. Translated spoil (Col. 2:15), and put off (Col. 3:9).  Here it means Satan and his forces were stripped of their power to condemn and kill the race. The law was blotted out and they had no further claim to hold man in sin and bondage, as they did by means of the law

 

We can read in 2 Tim. 3:15-16 (KJV)  And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

What scriptures was Paul talking about of course the Teaching of instructions and the Prophets and all the books of the Tanach not the New Testament. The scripture that would make one wise unto salvation or would show them their sin was the Teaching of instructions of Moses but salvation came from the Abrahamaic covenant of walking in perfection with God.

16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

What scriptures was Paul talking about here at the time it was the Tanach because the New Testament wasn’t even wrote as of yet they were just some letters floating around.

The Teaching of instructions of Moses couldn’t bring in righteousness: What did was the Abrahamaic one. Both spoke of the New that was to come.

Know of course this does apply to the New Testament now but at this time all they had was the Tanach.This proves that the Deciples still lived according to the Tanach all but the blood sacrifices.

We can read in Acts 17:10-11 (KJV)  And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. These Bereans were very educated in the Torah and received Pauls teachings because they matched up with the teachings in the Torah. They had studied the

Torah and could find his teachings in the Torah.

We can read in 2 Peter 3:15-16 (KJV)  And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

16As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. What are they unlearned and unstable in of course the Tanach. Paul was educated among the highest sect of the Pharisee and Paul used the scriptures of the Tanach to teach the people Paul didn’t have the New Testament to teach them with only the Tanach and what “Eloheem” GOD had given him.

 

We can read in 2 Peter 3:17 (KJV)  Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.  ath'-es-mos;which means twisting of the candlelit or twisting of the Word to fit ones doctrine. We have to get the true understanding of all scripture and to get the true understanding of all scripture we have to study the Tanach because we cannot understand the New Testament without it.

We can read in Matthew 22:29 (KJV)  Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.  What scriptures was he talking about; of course the Tanach. We can read in Acts 23:6 (KJV)  But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question. Here Paul is stating that he is still a Phrisee and not ashamed of it but the truth is that he had found Yahshua as the Messiah in them.

We can read in 1 Cor. 16:1-4 that Paul is still commanding the Corinthians to pay their tithes to the church. 1 Cor. 16:1-3 (PNT)  and concerning the collection for the saints, as I ordered the congregations of Galatia, so also you now do  2 On Saturday evening at the Havdalah service each of you must now set aside for himself from his treasuries from whatever he would have gained,so that when I would come then collections would not need to be made.3 And when I would arrive,whomsoever youwould approve,through letters ,I will send them to carry your gift to Jerusalem. James was the chief apostle and pastor of the church in Jerusalem.

We can read in  Luke 24:13-27 (KJV)  And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. Lk.24:14And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. 16But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. 17And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? 18And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? 19And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and Word before God and all the people: 20And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. 21But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

22Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; 23And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. 24And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. 25Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

27And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. This is speaking of the first five books of the Tanach and all the Prophets beginning with Joshua. He expounded to them in the scriptures all that had to be fulfilled.

Jesus came to fulfill the Tanach not to do away with it because it wasn’t time. He Also expounded to them the spring feasts the Kadosh Miqrah the living oracles that had to be fulfilled. Jesus fulfilled the Ben Yocha the role of Messiah. He also had to fulfill the Passover feast which started with Abraham and Isaac.”see spring feast of Yahweh”  Then we can read in 1 Cor. 2:8 (KJV)  Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. If they had known that this was in fulfillment of the Passover sacfrices they would have never crucified Jesus. Jesus/Yahshua taught a lot against the sadducees which were hellenists. The high priest and King Herod son of Antipater were hellenists which were appointed by the Emperor. These Hellenists had adapted the ways of the Greeks and didn’t believe in a resurrection. The Saudducees were very strict on inforcing the Torah not necessarily the Torrah , but their laws. The Pharisees were more merciful than the Hellenists. Opposing the Hellenists were the Hasidum or Pious which included the top students of the Yeshivas (schools) who were also known as Rabbis. From these Rabbis came many of the believers of Jesus /Yahshua. Since the High Priest was a Hellenists then  this would explain the statement he made in John 11:50 (KJV)  Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

 

 

 

(The coming of the Messiah would have totally destroyed the world of the Hellenists rulers in Israel.)After they crucified Jesus/Yahshua they remembered the prophecy of Jesus/Yahshua that after three days he would raise from the dead. That would be the reason for the guards on the tomb.

They knew that if his body was taken from the tomb many would believe in the resurrection and this would destroy their teaching of no resurrection. They truly didn’t believe that Jesus/Yahshua would be resurrected because they did not believe in the resurrection. They only had a form of religion but they didn’t know YahWeh if they had they would have understood the Tanach. They were merely interested in power given to them by Caesar.  They knew that if the people believed in a resurrection then their leadership would fall. This is why they persecuted the early church because they would have lost their power if the resurrection of Jesus/Yahshua was excepted by the people.

 

 Joel 2:32 (KJV)   And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of ( YAHWEH ) shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as (
