14Will mankind eventually find solution?

Will mankind eventually find the final solution?

Before and during World War II, Hitler and his ruling party in Germany thought ‘the final solution’ for the world, would be to rid the world of Jewish people. But why was he and those who supported him so much against Jewish people? Very few right-minded people understand the reason for his immense hatred of Jewish people. Very few people understand that this problem started at the time of our fathers in the faith, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; most people are aware that Isaac had two sons, namely Esau and Jacob. Rabbis agree that both the German and Italian peoples, even though they have different character traits, are descendants of Esau - Jacob’s blood brother, who even though he sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of soup, wants to kill Jacob for the special blessings that he received from his father Isaac. They also agree that this feud between the descendants of Jacob and Esau will only come to an end when Messiah comes to rule the world from Jerusalem.

In addition, despite the fact that scientist, political and religious leaders have been trying to solve the problems confronting mankind throughout the ages, they have not been able to find lasting solutions for even the minutest of the problems facing us. Mankind does not know how to eradicate poverty, disease, or put an end to starvation, racial conflict and war. It is clear that human beings do not have the power, knowledge or wisdom to accomplish what seems to be insurmountable problems, even if, most prospective leaders believe that given a chance they will be able to lead their people to Utopia – an imaginary place which represents the utmost perfection. The reason for this being that the real cause of most of our problems is of a spiritual nature and cannot be solved by human effort alone. Regardless of the fact that the solution to all these seemingly insurmountable problems are contained in our Creator’s user manual specifically written for us, namely the Scriptures; most believers believe that two thirds of its contents does not apply to them any longer. Very few people in the world who ever lived or are alive today, even think of obtaining guidance from the Word of Elohim. The reason being that most do not respect Elohim’s revelation to mankind any longer, and those who do, are generally too afraid of societies’ opinion to attempt to implement it. The truth of the matter is that it would require the power and wisdom of a super human being to ensure the implementation of Elohim’s will on earth, as the prophet Isaiah explained in Isaiah 59: 15 & 16, saying: ‘Yes, truth is lacking; and he who turns aside from evil makes himself a prey. Now YHVH saw, and it was displeasing in His sight that there was no justice. (16) And He saw that there was no man, and was astonished that there was no one to intercede; then His own arm brought salvation to Him; and His righteousness upheld Him.’

A second witness comes from the first two verses of Psalm 98, as follows: ‘O sing to YHVH a new song, for He has done wonderful things, His right hand and His holy (set-apart) arm have gained the victory for Him. (2) YHVH has made known His salvation; He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations.’ Yes, this is the same great power and outstretched arm that YHVH used to create the heavens and the earth, as testified in Jeremiah 32: 17, in this way: ‘Ah YHVH Elohim! Behold, Thou hast made the heavens and the earth by Thy great power and by Thine outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for Thee.’ But at this time very few people realize who or what this is talking about. We read fittingly from John 12: 37 – 41, ‘But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him; (38) that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, “YHVH, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF YHVH BEEN REVEALED?” (39) For this cause they could not believe, for Isaiah said again, (40) “HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES, AND HE HARDENED THEIR HEART; LEST THEY SEE WITH THEIR EYES, AND PERCEIVE WITH THEIR HEART, AND BE CONVERTED, AND I HEAL THEM.” (41) These things Isaiah said, because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him[1].’ This is obviously talking about Yahshua our Messiah and here Isaiah confirms that YHVH has blinded the minds of our Jewish brothers to His identity at this time, as also explained in Romans 11: 2 – 5; 25 – 27; and 32, ‘Elohim has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with Elohim against Israel? (3) “YHVH, THEY HAVE KILLED THY PROPHETS, THEY HAVE TORN DOWN THINE ALTARS, AND I ALONE AM LEFT, AND THEY ARE SEEKING MY LIFE.” (4) But what is the divine response to him? “I HAVE KEPT for Myself SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL.” (5) In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to Elohim’s gracious choice. (25) For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own estimation, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel (the only ones recognized as Israel at this time, meaning the Jews) until the fullness of the Gentiles (those of the lost ten tribes who have lost their identity and used to believe that they are Gentiles) has come in; (26) and thus all Israel (both houses) will be saved; just as it is written, “THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB.” (27) “AND THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.” (32) For Elohim has shut up all in disobedience that He might show mercy to all.’

Yahshua our Messiah did not come to convert Jews to Christianity, but came specifically to bring a remnant of the lost ten tribes back to the covenant that they made with YHVH, together with the house of Judah at Mount Sinai, as He clearly told the woman who asked Him to heal her demon-possessed daughter in Matthew 15: 24, saying: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Yahshua did not come to correct the Jews at all as He told them in Luke 5: 30 – 32, in this way: ‘And the Pharisees and their scribes began grumbling at His disciples saying, ‘Why do you eat and drink with the tax-gatherers and sinners?” (31) And Yahshua answered and said to them, “It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick. (32) I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”’ The reason for hiding His identity from our Jews Brothers is twofold: firstly, as we’ve seen in Romans 11 above, to allow a predetermined number of Israelites from the lost ten tribes, plus a number of real gentiles to come into the commonwealth of Israel, before Messiah will return, at which time our Jewish Brothers will recognize Him as their Messiah and Savior, as recorded in Zechariah 12: 10, as follows: “And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him, like the bitter weeping over a first-born.” When they see His hands they will not only recognize Him, but He will pour on them grace and supplication, and as a result, those Israelites who died believing in the true Messiah, will be raised as witnessed in Romans 11: 15, in this way: ‘For if their rejection be the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?’

A second witness about those in the first resurrection at Messiah’s return comes from first Thessalonians 4: 16, in this way: ‘For the Master Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of Elohim; and the dead in Messiah shall rise first.’ The second reason for hiding Messiah’s identity from the house of Judah is as Rav Shaul explains in first Corinthians 2: 4 – 8, saying: ‘And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power (meaning Yahshua – see first Corinthians 1: 24[2]),(5) that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of Elohim. (6) Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; (7) but we speak Elohim’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which Elohim predestined before the ages to our glory; (8) the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the Master of glory.’ So we see that YHVH has a plan for those of us whom He is busy calling at this time, as well as our Jewish Brothers as Rav Shaul concludes in Romans 11: 28 & 29, saying: ‘From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of Elohim’s choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; (29) for the gifts and the calling of Elohim are irrevocable.’

Jews have been blinded to the identity of Messiah, but there are also Messianic/Nazarene and likeminded believers who do not know the true identity of Yahshua the true Messiah, as Rav Kepha wrote in first Peter 2: 7, saying: ‘This precious value, then, is for you who believe. But for those who disbelieve, “THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE VERY CORNER stone[3].’ Even though Christianity say that they believe in one G-d, they distinguish between the harsh laws of the Father and the grace given by Messiah (the one they refer to as C*h*r*i*s*t*); due to their belief in a so-called Trinity. But to us, Elohim came in the flesh as Yahshua our Messiah, specifically to reconcile us back to Himself, and once the fullness of the lost ten tribes has come in, then both houses of Israel will be saved. Yahshua is the power and wisdom of Elohim who will ensure the implementation of Elohim’s will here on earth, as it is in heaven. When Yahshua came to Galilee preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of Elohim, He was simply continuing the message preached by the prophets in the Tanach. In fact Yahshua told His disciples in a parable that He was going to a far country (meaning heaven) to receive the kingdom, after which time He will return (as per Luke 19: 12). When Yahshua returns one day on Yom Teruah, He is coming to rule the world from Jerusalem. The Tanach talks about Yahshua’s first and second coming; it also contains information about how He will use the Torah to change the world, as witnessed in Ezekiel 37: 15 - 25, as follows: ‘The word of YHVH came again to me saying, (16) “And you, son of man, take for yourself one stick and write on it, ‘For Judah and for the sons of Israel, his companions’; then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his companions.’ (17)”Then join them for yourself one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand. (18) And when the sons of your people speak to you saying, ‘Will you not declare to us what you mean by these?’ (19) say to them, ‘Thus says YHVH Elohim, “Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand. (20) And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes”. (21) And say to them, “Thus says YHVH Elohim, ‘Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; (22) and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king for all of them; and they will no longer be two nations, and they will no longer be divided into two kingdoms. (23) And they will no longer defile themselves with their idols, or with their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. And they will be My people, and I will be their Elohim. (24) And My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd; and they will walk in My ordinances, and keep My statutes, and observe them. (25) And they shall live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant, in which your fathers lived; and they will live on it, they, and their sons, and their sons’ sons, forever; and David My servant shall be their prince forever. (26) And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will place them and multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in their midst forever. (27) My dwelling place also will be with them; and I will be their Elohim, and they will be My people. (28) And the nations will know that I am YHVH who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forever.’”

The kingdom of Elohim is the kingdom consisting of both the house of Judah and the house of Israel combined as the commonwealth of Israel, as was also understood by Messiah’s original disciples, as witnessed in Acts 1: 1 – 6, in this way: ‘The first account I composed, Theophilus, about all that Yahshua began to do and teach, (2) until the day when He was taken up, after He had by the Set-apart Spirit given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen. (3) To these He also presented Himself alive, after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of Elohim. (4) And gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, “Which,” He said, “you heard of from Me; (5) for Yochanan immersed with water, but you shall be immersed with the Set-apart Spirit not many days from now.” (6) And so when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, “Master, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” When Yahshua our Messiah returns His government will replace all the existing governments on the earth as Daniel prophesied in Daniel 7: 13 & 14, saying: “I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, and He came up to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him. (14) And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and men of every language might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed.” This is confirmed by King David in a prophecy in Psalm 2: 2 – 9, where he wrote: ‘The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers take counsel together against YHVH and against His Anointed (Messiah): (3) Let us tear their fetters (restraining chains) apart, and cast away their cords from us! (4) He who sits in the heavens laughs, YHVH scoffs at them. (5) Then He will speak to them in His anger and terrify them in His fury: (6) “But as for Me, I have installed My King upon Zion, My holy (set-apart) mountain. (7) I will surely tell of the decree of YHVH: He said to Me, ‘Thou art My Son, today I have begotten Thee. (8) Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Thine inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Thy possession. (9) Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, Thou shalt shatter them like earthenware.’” As King of kings and Master of masters, Yahshua will rule with divine force and make major changes in the way nations are governed at this time. We read accordingly from Isaiah 2: 4, ‘And He will judge between the nations, and will render decisions for many peoples; and they will hammer their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, and never again will they learn war.’ We read further from Isaiah 11: 4 & 5, about Messiah’s rule, in this way: ‘But with righteousness He will judge the poor, and decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth; and He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked. (5) Also righteousness will be the belt about His loins, and faithfulness the belt about His waist.’

Messiah will reestablish the nation of Israel consisting of the house of Judah and the house of Israel, as a model nation to the rest of the world. He will gather the descendants of the ancient house of Israel from where He has scattered them and join them to the house of Judah, so that they will again become the united nation of Israel, as witnessed in Isaiah 11: 11 & 12, as follows: ‘Then it will happen on that day that YHVH will again recover the second time with His hand the remnant of His people, who will remain, from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and from the islands (or coastland) of the sea. (12) And He will lift up a standard for the nations, and will assemble the banished ones of Israel, and will gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.’ Yahshua will rule the united nation of Israel from King David’s throne, as YHVH promised David many years ago. At that time He will institute Elohim’s New Covenant with the united nation of Israel, as recorded in Jeremiah 31: 31 - 33, in this way: “Behold, days are coming,” declares YHVH, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, (32) not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares YHVH. (33) But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares YHVH, “I will put My law within them, and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.” YHVH will only have to write His Torah on the house of Israel, as the house of Judah have always remained Torah observant. This also witness against those returnees from the house of Israel, who do not want to accept the house of Judah as (YHVH)’s lawgiver. Continuing in Jeremiah 33: 7 & 8, we see how Yahshua will accomplish this, as follows: ‘And I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel, and I will rebuild them as they were at first. (8) And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against Me, and by which they have transgressed against Me.”

After having changed the united nation of Israel into the model nation that YHVH wanted them to be from the time He called them out of Egypt, the other nations will see the results of Israel’s obedience to Elohim and will also begin to serve and obey Him, as we are told in Isaiah 2: 3, in this way: ‘And many peoples will come and say, “come, let us go up to the mountain of YHVH, to the house of the Elohim of Jacob; that He may teach us concerning His ways, and that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of YHVH from Jerusalem.’ Yes, as prophesied in Isaiah 42; 21 Yahshua will make the law honorable, as follows: ‘YHVH was pleased for His righteousness’ sake to make the law great and glorious.’ At that time all the people alive in the world will respect and obey the Torah commands of YHVH our Elohim and Yahshua will restore the world to the condition it was in before Adam and Eve sinned and was expelled from the Garden of Eden. So we see that the restoration of the united nation of Israel will only be the beginning of what Yahshua will come to do at His return, as YHVH says in Isaiah 42: 1, in this way: “Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the nations (or Gentiles).” Yahshua will give these nations a choice, rather than conquering them by force, they can change their ways and cooperate with Him to receive the same blessings that they will be able to see in Jerusalem and the land of Israel. If these nations obey and keep the Feast days of Elohim, they will also be blessed, but if they don’t, they will not receive any rain, as witnessed from Zechariah 14: 16 - 19, as follows; ‘Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, YHVH of hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of booths. (17) And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go to Jerusalem to worship the King, YHVH of hosts, there will be no rain on them. (18) And if the family of Egypt does not go up or enter, then no rain will fall on them; it will be the plague with which YHVH smites the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths. (19) This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.’ Finally the world will be in the condition we read about in Isaiah 11: 6 – 10, in this way: ‘And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little boy will lead them. (7) Also the cow and the bear will graze; their young will lie down together; and the lion will eat straw like the ox. (8) And the nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra. And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den. (9) They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of YHVH as the waters cover the sea. (10) Then it will come about in that day that the nations will resort to the root of Jesse, who will stand as a signal for the peoples; and His resting place will be glorious.’ Even though going green and using less electricity and fuel will go a long way to save our planet and some money, it is not the final solution for the problems facing the world today, as also witnessed in Isaiah 24: 4 – 6, as follows: ‘The earth mourns and withers, the world fades and withers, the exalted of the people of the earth fade away. (5) The earth is also polluted by its inhabitants, for they transgressed laws, violated statutes, broke the everlasting covenant (being the Sabbath Day as recorded in Exodus 31: 16 & 17[4]). (6) Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.’

YHVH wants us to understand that the coming Kingdom of Elohim is the only lasting solution to all the problems facing the world at this time. We need to realize that the only way in which we are able to save our planet is if we all start obeying Elohim’s Torah. So, as opposed to what Hitler and his ruling party believed in Germany during the Second World War, the Jews were the only ones who believed in the coming kingdom of Elohim, and obeyed Elohim’s Torah. They had the truth all the time, whilst the whole world was wrong! It was for that reason that Yahshua taught His disciple (and by implication also us His modern day disciples) to pray in Matthew 6: 9 – 13, saying: “Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. (10) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. (11) Give us this day our daily bread. (12) And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. (13) And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amein.” I pray that this teaching will open the minds of many deceived brethren in the house of Israel to understand Messiah’s main purpose for coming to earth, as recorded in Acts 15: 15 – 18, in this way: ‘And with this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written, (16) ‘AFTER THESE THINGS I WILL RETURN, AND I WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID WHICH HAS FALLEN, AND I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS, AND I WILL RESTORE IT, (17) IN ORDER THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK YHVH, AND ALL THE GENTILES (those from the lost ten tribes who used to believe they are gentiles) WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME (meaning the house of Israel),’ (18) SAYS YHVH, WHO MAKES THESE THINGS KNOWN FROM OF OLD.’ Think about it!
