Luk 13:33-35   “But I have to journey today, and tomorrow, and the day following, because it is not fitting for a prophet to perish outside of Yerushalayim.

 “Yerushalayim, Yerushalayim, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to her! How often I wished to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, but you would not!

 “See, your House is left to you laid waste. And truly I say to you, you shall by no means see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of Yahuah!’ ”

(see Ps 118:26)

What did Mosheh bring to the people of the Earth? 

Mosheh functioned as the mediator of the Covenant.

The Prophet “like him” also brings this Covenant with Him, and He is the Mediator of it.

It is the COVENANT that all men rebel against:

Rom 8:5-9   “For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the matters of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the matters of the Spirit.

For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.

Because the mind of the flesh is enmity (opposition) towards Alahim, for it does not subject itself to the Torah of Alahim, neither indeed is it able,

and those who are in the flesh are unable to please Alahim.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of Alahim dwells in you.  And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Mashiak, this one is not His.”

Like Mosheh, the Spirit of Mashiak Yahusha brings His Covenant to us, this time writing it upon our hearts instead of stone, overcoming the mind (point of view) of the flesh, giving us a love for His Covenant.

As long as a person remains outside the Covenant, they remain a "Gentile."  The Covenant is His "Word."

There are Ten Words we are to live by, and they are light to our path, and a lamp to our feet.  These "Commandments" are considered shackles to those of "the world."  The Hebrew "ASERETH HA'DABARIM" literally means the Ten Words.

If a natural-born Yisharalite departs from living according to the Covenant, they are “CUT OFF” from Yisharal.

HERE ARE A FEW WAYS TO BE CUT OFF FROM Yisharal:

Exo 12:15 “‘Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. Indeed on the first day you cause leaven to cease from your houses.  For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that being shall be cut off from Yisharal.”

Exo 30:31-33  “And speak to the children of Yisharal, saying, ‘This is a set-apart anointing oil to Me throughout your generations.

 ‘It shall not be poured on the flesh of a man, and make no other like it, according to its composition. It is set-apart, it is set-apart to you.  ‘Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, shall be cut off from his people.’ ”

Exo 31:12-17  “And Yahuah spoke to Mosheh, saying,

And you, speak to the children of Yisharal, saying, ‘My Sabbaths you are to guard, by all means, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, to know that I, Yahuah, am setting you apart.

 ‘And you shall guard the Sabbath, for it is set-apart to you.  Everyone who profanes it shall certainly be put to death, for anyone who does work on it, that being shall be cut off from among his people.

 ‘Six days work is done, and on the seventh is a Sabbath of rest, set-apart to Yahuah.  Everyone doing work on the Sabbath day shall certainly be put to death.

 ‘And the children of Yisharal shall guard the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant.

‘Between Me and the children of Yisharal it is a sign forever.  For in six days Yahuah made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’ ”  

(see also Hebrews 4)

HEBREW WORD:

KARATH:  CUT-OFF, PERISH

Living without the law (being lawless), a person is “perishing,"  and is not in the “Covenant” (living by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of Yahuah), and that person is believing falsehood:

2Th 2:7-12:   “For the secret of lawlessness is already at work – only until he who now restrains comes out of the midst.

And then the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Master shall consume with the Spirit of His mouth and bring to naught with the manifestation of His coming.

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and wonders of falsehood,

and with all deceit of unrighteousness in those perishing, because they did not receive the love of the Truth, in order for them to be saved.

And for this reason Alohim sends them a working of delusion, for them to believe the falsehood, in order that all should be judged who did not believe the Truth, but have delighted in the unrighteousness.”

The Covenant:  the inheritance of Yisharal.

Yahuah is the inheritance of Yisharal.

The land is the inheritance of Yisharal. 

Without the Covenant, the land isn't even an issue to discuss.

In turn, Yisharal is Yahuah’s inheritance, not the “Gentiles”.  One cannot be both a Gentile and of Yisharal.  Enjoining to Yahuah through His only Covenant means that the "former" Gentile is a new creature;  an Yisharalite.  Former "natural branches" that were broken-off may be grafted back into the "olive tree" (Yisharal), which is what we are seeing done today all around the Earth.

Replacement theology is heresy;  it is the belief that the Covenant people, Yisharal, are replaced with "Gentiles" who no longer are obliged to keep the Covenant  -  but only be in a “relationship.”

Act 20:32: “And now, brothers, I commit you to Alahim and to the Word of His favor, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those having been set apart."

The Covenant is the SECRET of Yahuah, hidden in plain sight, that Yahuah makes known to His people, Yisharal.

Psa 127:1   “If Yahuah does not build the house, Its builders have labored for nothing.  If Yahuah does not guard the city, the watchman has stayed awake for nothing.”

What then of the denominations?

Throwing-out Torah and building without it may have good intentions, but the “foundation” must be Torah.

What of the United Nations?

The builders have labored for nothing if their house was not “built” by Yahuah.

What is a Gentile?  The modern dictionary definition is:

1.            One who is not of the Jewish faith or is of a non-Jewish nation.

2.            A Christian.

3.            Archaic:  A pagan or heathen.

4.            Used in Vulgate to translate Gk. ethnikos, from ta ethne "the nations," which translated Heb. ha goyim "the nations."  Used during 14c. to mean both "one who is not a Christian" and "one who is not a Jew."

As you can see, the various definitions of "Gentile" are in opposition to one another!  One says "A Christian." while another says "one who is not a Christian."

The interpretation of the term “Gentile” has changed over time, and was influenced by one’s point of view.  From the perspective of Yisharal, a Gentile was a person that worshipped IDOLS, and did not partake of the Covenant between Yahuah and Yisharal.

Therefore, anyone who does not obey the Covenant of Yahuah is a Pagan or heathen.  Even civilized people are deceived about this, because obeying only part of the Covenant is not acceptable, and such teachings are not of the Truth.

WITCH DOCTOR, KENYA;  WITCH DOCTOR, INDONESIA

“Jewish faith” today means Torah + Talmud, which is also known as “Rabbinical Judaism,"  the modern practices of the Pharisees, devoid of any belief in Yahusha, the Mashiak of Yisharal.  They hold “the Covenant” as their national treasure, yet fail to share it with the nations, or “Gentiles”.  In fact, they even discourage “Gentiles” from obeying the Covenant, causing them to be without Alahim Yahuah, and without hope.  Here is how Shaul (Paul) described the condition of “Gentiles”:

Eph 2:1-22  “And you were dead in trespasses and sins,

in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, as also the rest.

But Alahim, who is rich in compassion, because of His great love with which He loved us,

even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Mashiak – by favour you have been saved – and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenlies in Mashiak Yahusha,

in order to show in the coming ages the exceeding riches of His favor in kindness toward us in Mashiak Yahusha.

For by favor (CHASID) you have been saved, through belief, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of Alahim,

it is not by works (of men’s hands, i.e., circumcision), so that no one should boast.

For we are His workmanship, created in Mashiak Yahusha unto good works, which Alahim prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh, who are called ‘the uncircumcision’ by what is called ‘the circumcision’ made in the flesh by hands,

that at that time you were without Mashiak, excluded from the citizenship of Yisharal and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no expectation and without Alahim in the world.

But now in Mashiak Yahusha you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of the Mashiak.

For He is our peace, who has made both one, and having broken down the partition of the barrier,

having abolished in His flesh the enmity – the Torah of the commands in dogma – so as to create in Himself one renewed man from the two, thus making peace,

and to completely restore to favor both of them unto Alahim in one body through the stake, having destroyed the enmity by it. (hatred of Torah and division is overcome through the sacrifice of Yahusha)

And having come, He brought as Good News (BESORAH) peace to you who were far off, and peace to those near.

Because through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the set-apart ones and members of the household of Alahim,  having been built upon the foundation of the emissaries and prophets, יהושע Mashiak Himself being chief corner-stone,

in whom all the building, being joined together, grows into a set-apart Dwelling Place in Yahuah,

in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of Alahim in the Spirit.

Eph 3:1-12  Because of this I, Sha’ul, am the prisoner of Yahusha Mashiak on behalf of you Gentiles –

if indeed you have heard of the administration of the favor of Alahim that was given to me for you,

that by revelation was made known to me the secret, as I wrote before briefly.

In reading this, then, you are able to understand my insight into the secret of Mashiak,

which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His set-apart emissaries and prophets:

The Gentiles to be co-heirs, united in the same body, and partakers together in the promise in Mashiak through the Good News, of which I became a servant according to the gift of the favor of Alahim given to me, according to the working of His power.

To me, the very least of all the set-apart ones, this favor was given, to bring the Good News of the unsearchable riches of Mashiak among the gentiles,

and to make all see how this secret is administered, which for ages past has been hidden in Alahim who created all through Yahusha Mashiak,

so that now, through the assembly, the many-sided wisdom of Alahim might be known to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies,

according to the everlasting purpose which He made in MashiakYahusha our Master, in whom we have boldness and access, with reliance, through belief in Him.

The “BESORAH” (good news) is the Covenant which YYisharal is to share with the “nations” (foreigners).  Mashiak Yahusha is the Mediator of the Covenant, and He brings the unsearchable riches of the Covenant to every person who believes and obeys Him.

THE TRUTH IS "INTOLERANT."   Truth will not tolerate error!  The Truth will not compromise with falsehood.

The Covenant is the inheritance of all Yisharal.  If a person outside the Covenant picks up the Word of Yahuah, and wants to find their salvation, how are they to begin?  Much of the effort behind the message of Scripture is directed at getting Yisharal to obey Yahuah’s Covenant, then in turn they are to teach the nations to obey the Covenant, thus increasing Yisharal.  The development of “replacement theology” caused a widespread deception that somehow Gentiles “replaced” the original people of Yisharal, and that Gentiles are Yahuah’s new bride, called “the Church”.  This entity usurped the name Yisharal also, and quickly caused the “falling-away” from Torah. 

The salvation plan became tied to “sacraments,"  and “sacramental grace” dispensed through a Nicolaitane priesthood.  The seven annual Sabbaths were replaced by the "seven sacraments."  Yahuah’s inspired Word stands in direct conflict with the Catholic timeline of Dogmas, and the establishment of the “priesthood-laity” division (Nicolaitanism).  The fact that Shaul (Paul) was not called a ring-leader of the “sect of the Christians” (Acts 24:5) should be strong evidence that “Christianity” didn’t exist among the early believing followers of Yahusha.  To get to the root of when “Gentiles” were first offered entry into the Covenant to become fellow citizens of Yisharal (Yisharal being the “Body” of Mashiach, not the “Church”), all a person must do is read Acts chapter 15 slowly and carefully.  One of the logical questions this chapter addresses is whether or not an adult male convert must be physically circumcised;  but there still remains another question.  Someone was moved to ask this:

"I have been pondering over something for years and wonder if you might have the answer or can shed some light on it.

It's about the Jerusalem Council at Acts 15. 

Why did they only tell the Gentiles to abstain from meats offered to idols, from blood and from things strangled and from fornication?"  15:20, 29

Reply from Lew White:

The major issue at the Yerushalayim council was how to bring the former Gentiles into the fold, especially considering these folks were steeped in all sorts of Pagan ideas and practices that needed to be halted entirely.  The four things they needed to change right away were those practices (4 of them) that directly dealt with how they lived and worshipped their idols.  They could not serve Yahuah doing those same things!  The four things had to do with what was to be stopped, and then they could continue to learn how to live according to Yahuah’s instructions by hearing “Mosheh” read in the synagogues.  “Mosheh” is a reference to Torah, and the opportunity to hear it would come every weekly Shabbath.

Here is the KJV rendering of the area of the text that addresses these four things, with the concordance number for each Greek word used:

Act 15:28  For¹⁰⁶³ it seemed good¹³⁸⁰ to the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost,⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² to us,²²⁵⁴ to lay²⁰⁰⁷ upon you⁵²¹³ no³³⁶⁷ greater⁴¹¹⁹ burden⁹²² than⁴¹³³ these⁵¹³⁰ necessary things;¹⁸⁷⁶

Act 15:29  That ye abstain⁵⁶⁷ from meats offered to idols,¹⁴⁹⁴ and²⁵³² from blood,¹²⁹ and²⁵³² from things strangled,⁴¹⁵⁶ and²⁵³² from fornication:⁴²⁰² from¹⁵³⁷ which³⁷³⁹ if ye keep¹³⁰¹ yourselves,¹⁴³⁸ ye shall do⁴²³⁸ well,²⁰⁹⁵ Fare ye well.⁴⁵¹⁷

The Greek term “Hagios Pneuma” (Holy Ghost / Spirit) would be Ruach ha’Qodesh in Hebrew, of course.  They turned single words into short phrases as their best-guess to the meaning for each Greek word.  For one thing, the word “meat” is not in the sentence at all, but only the Greek terms “apechomai” (abstain) and “eidolothuton” (idol sacrifice/service/offering).  This would include a great deal, such as participating in ANY pattern of Pagan idol servitude, such as going to a party and lifting a cup to toast “the gods,"  or celebrating on a day that is only derived from a Pagan background (such as Saturnalia), even if it had been “cleansed” and turned into another meaning.   And, it would also include the offering of “meat” to an idol.  But we know that Shaul explained that we could eat the meat that had been offered to an idol, but not if it caused a brother to stumble (1 Cor. 8:4). Eating meat and offering it to an idol are two different things.

The word “blood” (aima) can mean literally eating blood because an animal had been throttled and not properly “bled” before cooking it, but it can also be taken to mean “bloodshed”  -  so both interpretations are certainly applicable.

To take this short message as it is without understanding the context and what the Gentiles were used to doing, and claim that people born out of the Covenant may do whatever they wish except for the four things, is misinterpreting a great deal.  If this were the case, it would mean that former Gentiles (who have become fellow citizens of Yisra’el through the covenants) could covet, lie, misuse Yahuah’s Name (cast it to ruin), ignore Shabbath, bully and misuse their parents, and still be fine with Yahuah.  The 4 things all seem to point to the practices that went on at the Pagan temples, including “porneia,"  which was central to idol-worship, through the temple prostitutes.

After stopping their idolatrous patterns of living, the next step for these who were “turning” to Yahuah was to hear the instructions of Yahuah:

Act 15:21  For¹⁰⁶³ Moses³⁴⁷⁵ of old time^{1537, 744, 1074} hath²¹⁹² in every city^{2596, 4172} them that preach²⁷⁸⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ being read³¹⁴ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogues⁴⁸⁶⁴ every^{2596, 3956} Sabbath day.⁴⁵²¹

It’s amazing that Christianity managed to miss this blatant reference to the weekly Shabbath.  It must be a stronghold (teaching of error), because the word “Sabbath” is used over twice as much in the Renewed Covenant Writings than in the other four-fifths of Scripture (known as the “Old Testament”).  A former Gentile who repents of sinning against Yahuah’s Torah, and accepts Yahusha’s blood offering as the permanent solution as payment for all their sins, then joins as a fellow citizen of Yisharal at the time of their immersion into Yahusha’s Name.  All that is needed is the repenting person, water, and the calling upon the Name of Yahusha for salvation.  No organization or committee needs to approve the new convert; the approval can only come from Yahusha, Who called them to repentance.  They have entered the Covenant, and are no longer Gentile, but fellow citizens of Yisharal  -  Yahusha’s body, His wife and bride.  Remaining in the Covenant means they continue to obey the Commandments (Covenant, Torah), and hold to the testimony of Yahusha.
