141 Do you ever feel rejected | nazareneisrael2house

Do you ever feel rejected?

Human beings are made in the image of Elohim and were created to need interaction with other people as well as with YHVH our Elohim. Elohim created us to have a loving and caring relationship with Him; similar to that of a parent and his/her children. But, how do we show our loved ones and our children that we love them? What does the word love mean to us? Does saying to someone that you love him/her involves more than a warm feeling towards those at whom your affection is aimed? Love towards Elohim and our neighbor should be more than a feeling; it should be accompanied by action, such as for example doing what is pleasing in His sight. If we love somebody, won’t we spend time with him/her to get to know him/her better?

Few people in the world are aware that there are three different types of love. These types of love are best described in the Greek language, as follows: At the highest level is ‘Agape’ love: this is love for Elohim, it is a total giving love; it means total commitment to YHVH – no matter what. We are not born with Agape love; it is acquired by maturity as we read from Romans 5: 5, in this way: ‘And hope does not disappoint, because the love of Elohim has been poured out within our hearts through the Set-apart Spirit who was given to us.’ We truly show agape love towards our brethren, if we are doing everything in our power to teach them the truths that lead to salvation. Next we have ‘Phyla’ love: this is simply brotherly love, friendship and companionship. An example of brotherly love is given in John 15: 13, as follows ‘Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.’ Finally we have ‘Eros’ love, which is romantic love for someone of the opposite gender and needs no explanation. As human beings we need to be in loving relationships with fellow human beings as well as with our Creator. When people reject us for whatever reason, we feel unloved, separated and without purpose. However, Yahshua warned His disciples and by extension also us His modern day disciples, right at the beginning when He instructed them to proclaim the good news about the coming kingdom of Elohim, that they will be persecuted for doing so. We read accordingly from Matthew 10: 5 – 8, in this way: ‘These twelve Yahshua sent out after instructing them, saying, “Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans; (6) but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (7) And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ (8) Heal the sick, raise the (spiritually) dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons; freely you received, freely give.”’ Here Yahshua commissioned His disciples to proclaim the good news of the coming kingdom of Elohim to the lost house of Israel; and not to try and convert Jews to Christianity, like some believe He said. In addition it should also be done as a free educational service.

In sending out His disciples, Yahshua warned them as we see from verses 16 – 22 of Matthew 10, saying: “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; therefore be shrewd (or perceptive) as serpents, and innocent as doves. (17) But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to the courts, and scourge you in their synagogues (or churches); (18) and you shall even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. (19) But when they deliver you up, do not become anxious about how or what you will speak; for it shall be given you in that hour what you are to speak. (20) For it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you. (21) And brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. (22) And you will be hated by all on account of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.” When we decide to follow the way of Elohim, it is as if we draw an invisible line on the ground. The message that we are required to preach is contrary to what people in the world want to hear. Our friends and family immediately realize that they are not first in our lives any longer; we are not available to their every beck and call, as we now require time to get to know and follow YHVH our Elohim. YHVH wants us to get away from the false ways of the world and if we obey, we are required to do the opposite of what people in the world busy themselves with. This will eventually cause those who are in the world either to hate us, or reject us as their friends. The reason for this being as Yahshua explained to Rav Shaul in Acts 26: 15 - 18 that for returning Israelites from the lost sheep of the house of Israel, there Is only one of two ways, saying: “I am Yahshua whom you are persecuting. (16) But arise, and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you a minister and a witness not only to the things which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to you; (17) delivering you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, (18) to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to Elohim, in order that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance (to live in the Promised Land eternally as returning children of Abraham) among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.’

Because Satan has lost the position of leadership that we as returning Israelites together with our Jewish Brothers are promised, and who as the body of Messiah (as per Ephesians 2: 14 – 16) will remarry Him as His bride at His return (as witnessed in Jeremiah 31: 31 & 32), he is doing everything in his power to ensure our demise. If we therefore consider the tremendous benefits to be had by obeying Torah, it should be easy for us to see the sinister motive behind the idea that Torah is abolished. Satan wants us to stop keeping Elohim’s commandments and thereby remove the wall of protection that Elohim places around His people. He has a vested interest in keeping the majority of the people in the world defenseless against his onslaughts. We know that he is cunning and desires to destroy the souls of all human beings. Not only is our protective wall removed, but when we reject the Torah of Moses, which is a transcript of Elohim’s glory, Satan has caused his prey, to offend their Heavenly Protector, so that they may step out of the realm of Elohim’s blessings. Brethren, we need to realize that we are engaged in a spiritual battle, the outcome of which can only be determined by ourselves, with the help of Elohim. It is time we heed the warning by Rav Kepha in first Peter 5: 8, in this way: “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” YHVH warns us about false prophets in Deuteronomy 13: 1 – 4, saying: “If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, (2) and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them,’ (3) you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for YHVH your Elohim is testing you to find out if you love YHVH your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul. (4) You shall follow YHVH your Elohim and fear Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him.”

YHVH is a great teacher, teaching all of mankind two vital lessons: One of which is that His kingdom is coming, whether we believe it, or not. After His Kingdom has been established on earth, He is going to teach those who did not repent and believe in the coming Kingdom of Elohim, that they cannot live without Him in their lives, as explained in Deuteronomy 8: 3, as follows: “And He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of YHVH.” In addition to teaching us these vitally important lessons, YHVH also expects that once we have learnt what Yahshua and those who went before us taught us, that we should teach new believers, as we read from Matthew 28: 18 – 20, in this way: ‘And Yahshua came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. (19) Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, immersing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Set-apart Spirit, (20) teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”’ We are told here, that eventually, after we have been suitably trained, it is incumbent upon us to also immerse new believers and to teach them the things that we have learnt from Yahshua, through His servants. In addition we are told in Isaiah 58:1 that as Nazarene Israelites we are watchmen and should declare to the people of Elohim, their transgressions and to Jacob their sins.

According to Hebrews 2 YHVH is in the process of bringing many sons to glory, so that eventually we can be of the same ‘family’ as we read from verses 10 & 11, in this way: ‘For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings. (11) For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren.’ But, the majority of people think about this close relationship between Elohim and humankind to be wholly a ‘New Testament’ concept. The main reason for such thinking is that the world views love and obedience as two mutually exclusive ideas. However, we know that from the beginning YHVH our Elohim was only concerned with giving us what is good for us, as per Yahshua’s answer to the lawyer in Luke 10: 25 - 28, as follows: ‘And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (26) And He said to Him, “What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?” (27) And he answered and said, “YOU SHALL LOVE YHVH YOUR ELOHIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.” (28) And He said to him, “You have answered correctly; DO THIS, AND YOU WILL LIVE.”’

We see from the question asked by this lawyer, that eternal life was the issue or concern here. Presently mankind is busy learning a vital lesson that should become the foundation of his/her education. After the millennium rule of Messiah, when all who ever lived are resurrected to life again, in the Great White Throne Judgment, they will get to know that what they were doing; learning that their wisdom resulting in great technological advancement; resulted only in social upheaval, misery and ultimately failure; and realize what it was like to live without Elohim. Our Creator knows that we cannot live happily forever, unless we first learn that our own ways do not work. It is for this reason that He has called us out of the world to become followers of His way, the only way to eternal life and happiness. Because, each one of us is so self-willed that we are only interested in our own way of doing things, we must learn this lesson on our own. The point is, even though YHVH loves each one of us greatly, it does not mean we can continue for all eternity without learning the inevitable rejection that we have brought upon ourselves. In addition, whether we believe Elohim’s plan of salvation for all mankind, or not; we cannot circumvent it either, as it is happening despite of us. Like it or not, each and every one of us must find our own way every day and are required to make our own decisions every day, until we die or when Yahshua returns one day. As a result we will suffer because of the mistakes and sins of ourselves and others, the same way the other seven billion inhabitants of our planet will have to. In this way YHVH is teaching us one all-encompassing lesson; what it is to live without Him. However, those who have come to know Him are learning just the opposite lesson; specifically what it is like to live with Him in their lives. It is as we read from 1 John 4: 4, in this way: ‘You are from Elohim, little children, and have overcome them (the spirits that are not from Elohim); because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.’

Yahshua further advised those of us called by the Father to follow Him in John 15: 16 – 19, saying: “You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask of the Father in My name, He may give to you. (17) This I command you, that you love one another. (18) If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. (19) If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” It is important therefore, that we as brothers and sisters in the congregation heed Yahshua’s command and show love and concern for one another. We need to show empathy for fellow believers who live on their own without likeminded believers to fellowship with on Elohim’s Sabbaths. Empathy or compassion is very helpful to sustain fellow believers on what we all know to be a very lonely road. Make sure that you encourage those lonely people who follow YHVH all on their own; cheer them up when they feel sad and lonely, as we read from Proverbs 15: 13, as follows: ‘A joyful heart makes a cheerful face, but when the heart is sad, the spirit is broken.’ We read further from Proverbs 18: 14, ‘The spirit of a man can endure his sickness, but a broken spirit who can bear? The greatest consolation when we feel sad and rejected is to know that there are like-minded believers who care for us. Brethren we need to be ever mindful that in following Yahshua our Master, we are following one who experienced the ultimate rejection, as we read from John 1: 11, as follows: ‘He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.’ In fact Isaiah prophesied about Yahshua in chapter 53: 3, saying: ‘He was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and like one from whom men hide their face, He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.’ It is in realizing that Yahshua our Messiah suffered the worst kind of rejection and finally conquered it, that we find comfort and healing. Ever since the creation of mankind, YHVH requires a relationship with us. But since the fall of man our sins caused a separation between Elohim and His creation, as we read from Isaiah 59: 2 – 4, in this way: ‘But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your Elohim, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear. (3) For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken falsehood, your tongue mutters wickedness. (4) No one sues righteously and no one pleads honestly. They trust in (religious) confusion, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.’ Yahshua came specifically to reconcile us, the remnant of the lost ten tribes of Israel to the commonwealth of Israel and then to Elohim. In order to fulfill this great purpose and to ultimately reconcile us to Elohim, He had to pay our penalty for breaking Elohim’s commandments, by dying in our place. Yahshua being the word of Elohim, was part of Elohim for all eternity, as we read from the prophecy about Him in Micah 5: 2, as follows: “But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, from the days of eternity.” The words ‘from the days of eternity’ speaks about the eternal Elohim’s manifestation in the body specifically prepared for Yahshua, as Rav Shaul explained in Hebrews 10: 5, saying: ‘Therefore, when He (Yahshua) comes into the world, He says, “SACRIFICE AND OFFERING THOU HAST NOT DESIRED, BUT A BODY THOU HAST PREPARED FOR ME.”’ So, Yahshua as the Word of Elohim made flesh was the being chosen to bring about this amazing reconciliation and had to experience the ultimate rejection.

King David’s Psalm 22 predicting Yahshua’s death and resurrection begins with Yahshua’s final words on His impalement stake and explains why He was hanging there. When Yahshua said the words: “My El, my El, why (transliterated in Hebrew as ‘mah’ meaning how long and for what reason) hast Thou forsaken (transliterated as ‘azab’ meaning abandoning) me?” By reading the remainder of Psalm 22, we discover the reason for Yahshua’s impalement and death. We read accordingly from verses 26 – 31: ‘The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek Him will praise YHVH. Let your heart live forever! (27) All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to YHVH, and all the families of the nations will worship before Thee. (28) For the kingdom is (YHVH)’s, and He rules over the nations. (29) All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, all those who go down to the dust will bow before Him (even after the second resurrection), even he who cannot (or did not) keep his soul alive. (30) Posterity will serve Him; it will be told of YHVH to the coming generation. (31) They will come and will declare His righteousness to a people who will be born, that He has performed it.’ So here we have the reason for Yahshua’s death – Yes His death will even save the unsaved dead after the second resurrection. This was Elohim’s plan of salvation for all mankind all along – Yes it is as we read from John 3: 16 & 17, as follows: “For Elohim so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten (or brought forth) Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. (17) For Elohim did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him.” What a marvelous and merciful Elohim do we serve? The purpose of Yahshua’s sacrifice was to prepare the way to resurrect dead souls, as King David wrote in Psalm 88: 10, asking: “Wilt thou perform wonders for the dead? Will the departed spirits rise and praise Thee? Selah (think about it!).” Like Yahshua was resurrected three days and three nights after His impalement and death on the stake, so those of us called at this time will if we make it, be resurrected at Messiah’s return to rule the earth for a thousand years. But so will He also resurrect the wicked and unsaved dead after His thousand year reign, and will give those who never had a chance to repent and accept Yahshua as their Passover, their first chance to make an informed decision, after opening their understanding to the Scriptures. After Immersion, they will be given a portion of Elohim’s spirit and be changed into spiritual children of Elohim, after which the wicked and everything physical will be burnt up in the lake of fire.

Rav Shaul explained further in Romans 8: 3 & 4, saying: ‘For what the Law (Torah) could not do, weak as it was through the flesh (it was not the Torah that was weak, but the people were too weak to obey it), Elohim did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, (4) in order that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.’ We also read from 2 Corinthians 5: 21, ‘He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of Elohim in Him.’ So we see that because of what Yahshua represented for those brief few moments, YHVH had to turn His back on Him when He died. Even though Yahshua was familiar with the rejection of men, to that point He was always fully at one with the Father. Even so, we know that after His resurrection and ascension to heaven, He was totally reconciled and restored to the Father. So the rejection that Messiah faced as a ‘human being’ helped Him understand the rejection that we experience from time to time. Sin separates us from Elohim and our neighbor and is a major obstacle to building a relationship with Elohim. As a result Elohim Himself suffered because of our sins – Yes the Creator of the universe paid the penalty for mankind’s sin, as only He can absolve our sin and take away our guilt and suffering, as Rav Shaul explained in 2 Corinthians 5: 18 & 19, saying: ‘Now all these things are from Elohim, who reconciled us to Himself through Messiah, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, (19) namely, that Elohim was in Messiah reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.’ Yahshua became the sacrifice for our sins and by offering His own blood we may receive eternal life, as explained in Hebrews 9: 15, in this way: ‘And for this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, in order that since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.’

Let’s backtrack a bit – we read Yahshua’s response to the scribe in Mark 12: 29 – 31, ‘Yahshua answered, “The foremost is, ‘HEAR, O ISRAEL! YHVH OUR ELOHIM IS ONE YHVH; (30) AND YOU SHALL LOVE YHVH YOUR ELOHIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.’ (31) The second is this, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” If we want to be reconciled to Elohim, we also need to be reconciled with our neighbor. It is as we are told in Matthew 6: 14 & 15: “For if you forgive men for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. (15) But if you do not forgive men, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.” Ever since the creation of mankind, Elohim experienced rejection. YHVH created Adam and Eve in His own image, planning to have a successful relationship with them; He wanted them to make the right decisions that would lead to Eternal Life with Him. But they chose to disobey Elohim and do what He has specifically forbidden them to do. As a result they and all mankind became subject to death. After YHVH drove mankind from the Garden of Eden they continued to disappoint Him. Immediately after leaving the Garden of Eden, we read how Cain, Adam and Eve’s first son, killed his brother Abel. Later before destroying most of mankind in a flood, we are told in Genesis 6: 6, ‘And YHVH was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.’ YHVH knew what it was like to experience rejection by His creation, but He continued to work with mankind. He started over with Abraham, whose descendants later grew to become the nation of Israel. YHVH later saved the nation from their cruel taskmasters in Egypt, through His servant Moses. Moses through many trials and tribulations lead the nation who wandered in the wilderness for forty years, until all those over the age of twenty years old, who left Egypt died, because of rebellion and unbelief. After wandering in the wilderness for forty years, Joshua led the nation of Israel into the Promised Land.

After five hundred years in the Promised Land, the nation of Israel once again rejected Elohim as their King, when they asked Samuel to give them a human king. We read Elohim’s reaction to their request in 1 Samuel 8: 7, as follows: ‘And YHVH said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them.”’ This is basically the story of mankind; we have throughout history rejected Elohim’s blessings because we did not want to follow His will and way for our own good. Instead, we like Eve, want to decide for ourselves who we listen to and follow. As a result we like our first forebears were doomed to death. We need to overcome our resentment of Elohim’s way and stop rejecting what is for our own good. The only way in which we are able to reconcile with both Elohim and Judah our neighbor is through Yahshua our Messiah. This is why the curtain giving access to the Holy of Holies tore at the very moment of Messiah’s death. So we need to come to Elohim in the blood of Yahshua Messiah, if we want to be reconciled to Him as well as to our Jewish Brothers. We who are called by YHVH at this time, are required to remain in a healthy relationship with Him and where possible with all mankind, as Rav Shaul wrote in Romans 12: 18, in this way: ‘If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.’ Up to this time in history only a few people have been reconciled to Elohim. Most are even now rejecting Elohim and His way. Today, only a few truly understand Elohim’s plan of Salvation for all mankind. We who are called at this time, together with our Torah observant Jewish Brothers and our fathers in the faith are known as the congregation of called out believers. We are at this time only a remnant, who will if we make it into the first resurrection, be the first-fruits or first born children of Elohim, who like Yahshua our Messiah will be born again as spiritual sons and daughters of Elohim. Even so, ultimately most people will find the path of reconciliation to YHVH, as we read previously in Psalm 22. Rav Shaul understood that Elohim is working out His plan step by step. Ultimately all of Elohim’s creation; people and all things will be reconciled to him, as Rav Shaul explained in Colossians 1: 19 - 20, as follows: ‘For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him (Yahshua), (20) and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.’ Continuing in verses 21 - 23 of Colossians 1, we read: ‘And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, (22) yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy (set-apart) and blameless and beyond reproach— (23) if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Shaul, was made a minister.’

In Ephesians 2, we are further told that Yahshua’s whole purpose was to reconcile us with brother Judah, and ultimately to YHVH, as explained in verses 14 – 18, in this way: ‘For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one, and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, (15) by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, (16) and might reconcile them both in one body to Elohim through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. (17) AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR; (18) for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.’ If we follow Yahshua in this life we will have to make certain sacrifices, which will of necessity result in loss of friends and family members near and dear to us. It is as we read from Matthew 10: 37 – 39: “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. (38) And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. (39) He who has found his life shall lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake shall find it.’ It is for this reason that Yahshua commanded us to love one another and be reconciled to one another, but also to our brother Judah. As a result YHVH will forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us.

We conclude by reading Yahshua’s words to Kepha (Simon Peter), prior to His ascension to heaven in John 21: 15 – 17, in this way: ‘So when they had finished breakfast, Yahshua said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these? (Meaning the other disciples) He said to Him, “Yes, Master; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Tend My lambs.” (16) He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” He said to Him, “Yes, Master; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Shepherd My sheep.” (17) He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Master, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Yahshua said to him, “Tend My sheep.”’ In asking Kepha if he loved Him three times, Yahshua wanted him to understand that He requires an unswerving devotion from him. The message to each one of us is that Yahshua demands total commitment from His followers. The reference to feeding and tending His sheep, serves as a reminder that the primary duty of a disciple of Yahshua the Messiah is to become like his teacher, after a reasonable period of training. Each one of us who have gone through at least three and a half years of theoretical training by a teacher who have gone through the same discipleship program ordained by Messiah Himself, should after having practiced Torah (attending weekly and annual Sabbath services, eating only kosher foods, wearing tzitzit, etc.) for the same amount of time, be able to assist in proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom of Elohim into the world and to make Judah jealous by obeying Torah to the standard given us by Yahshua our Master and Savior, knowing that we will also be rejected by our own, for doing so. Think about it!
