290 Why we house of Israel need Yahshua

Why we from the house of Israel need Yahshua?

There are Israelites, who upon discovering that they are descended from the lost ten tribes of Israel, question their need for ‘Yeshua’ (the name they use to refer to our savior and Messiah) in their return to the covenant YHVH made with our father’s in the faith, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Some of them immediately attempt to join the local Jewish synagogue and embark upon a lengthy conversion process, requiring them to deny ‘Yeshua’.I am not talking about Messianic Jews, who are full-blooded Jews that eventually decide to go back to Rabbinic Judaism, no I am talking about people like us; half-Jews and Israelites from the lost ten tribes.

Think about it for a moment. Don’t you think that such people have a lot of nerve (or as they say in Yiddish ‘chutzpah’) to believe that they can simply go back and call themselves Israel? What gives them the right? Our forefathers who travelled to Europe and beyond committed a serious offense against YHVH and even though we know that Israel is our spiritual home, we are too impoverished by the multitude of our sins and spiritual adulteries, to assume that we may return on our own merit. Since we started studying Torah, we have learnt that there is a specific provision made for us; Torah specifically teaches that if an Israelite loses his connection with his inheritance and is too deprived to buy it back, his kinsman may redeem it on his behalf. This is recorded for us in Leviticus 25: 25, as follow: ‘If a fellow countryman of yours become so poor he has to sell part of his property, then his nearest kinsman is to come and buy back what his relative has sold.’ An example of this may be found in the Book of Ruth in the Scriptures. The kinsman redeemer is according to the law of linage the designated person to purchase the property of an impoverished relative so as to keep it in the family. The house of Judah has returned to the land of Israel, which they lost temporarily because of mainly the sins of Manasseh who followed his father King Hezekiah up, as king over Judah as is recorded in 2 Kings 21: 16, in this way: ‘Moreover, Manasseh shed very much innocent blood until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin with which he made Judah sin, in doing evil in the sight of YHVH.’ Even though Manasseh repented later in his life, his sins were considered so severe and YHVH did not relent from punishing Judah for it, as we read from 2 Kings 23: 26 & 27, as follows: ‘However, YHVH did not turn from the fierceness of His great wrath with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked Him. (27) And YHVH said, “I will remove Judah also from My sight, as I have removed Israel. And I will cast off Jerusalem, this city which I have chosen, and the temple of which I said, ‘My name shall be there.’” But, the house of Israel which lost all their rights because they abandoned Elohim’s covenant altogether, need to have their place in Elohim’s country purchased back, if they want it to be lawfully and rightfully theirs once again.

The kinsman redeemer for the lost ten tribes will therefore have to be someone who is from the house of Judah and totally devoted to the covenant with Elohim. As recorded in the correct translation of Hosea 11: 12 (KJV)[1], Judah is in such a position, the kinsman redeemer therefore have to come from the tribe of Judah. This is how Yahshua our Messiah fits into the puzzle. We read accordingly from Romans 11: 25 – 29, in this way: ‘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(Jewish)Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles (those members of the lost ten tribes who lost their identity, culture and faith in the one true Elohim and came to believe that they are nothing but Gentiles) has come in: (26) and thus all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, “THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION (meaning He was Jewish[2]), HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB. (27) AND THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, ‘WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.” (28) 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.’ The Messiah had to be a descendant of David and was therefore also from the tribe of Judah, as witnessed from Jeremiah 33: 15 & 16, in this way: “In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and He shall execute justice and righteousness on the earth.(16) In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety; and this is the name by which she shall be called; YHVH our righteousness. ” We read from further about it from Isaiah 49: 5 &6, as follows: ‘And now says YHVH, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, to bring Jacob back to Him, in order that Israel might be gathered to Him (For I am honored in the sight of YHVH, and My Elohim is My strength), (6) He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant to raise up (from the dead) the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also make You a light of the nations so that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”’ We see consequently that Messiah will be the one responsible to bring back the house of Israel to their inheritance. He is absolutely indispensable to bring us back in repentance (Teshuvah) to the Father, as witnessed in Acts 4: 11 & 12 in this way: “He is the STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED by you, THE BUILDERS, but WHICH BECAME THE VERY CORNER stone. (12) And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved.”

In addition, we see when members of the house of Israel wanted to know from Messiah’s disciples how they may also receive the Set-apart Spirit like those who received it earlier on the day of Pentecost (Shavuot), Rav Kepha told them in Acts 2: 36 – 39, saying: ‘“Therefore let all the house of Israel (all ten tribes, excluding the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi from the house of Judah) know for certain that Elohim has made Him both Master and Messiah—this Yahshua whom you crucified (by your transgression of Torah).” (37) Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Kepha and the rest of the apostles, “Brethren, what shall we do?” (38) And Kepha said to them, “Repent, and let each of you be immersed in the name of Yahshua Messiah for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Set-apart Spirit. (39) For the promise is for you and your children,and for all who are far off, as many as Adonai our Elohim shall call to Himself.”Rav Kepha gave two very important guidelines stating that we should only immerse those who are ‘far off’ and only those whom Elohim calls to Himself at this time. To understand what Rav Kepha meant by the words ‘far off’, we need to turn to the book of Daniel, when he first coined the phrase in his prayer for the two houses of Israel, who were both exiled at the time, but the house of Judah was about to return to the Promised land 70 years after been taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and remained close to YHVH, even in captivity in Daniel 9: 7, saying: “Righteousness belongs to Thee, O YHVH, but to us open shame, as it is this day—to the men of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and all Israel, those who are nearby and those who are far away in all the countries to which Thou hast driven them, because of their unfaithful deeds which they have committed against Thee.” Rav Shaul also used these same words in Ephesians 2: 11 – 13, but giving us more details of the meaning of the words ‘far off’, saying: ‘Therefore remember, that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Un-circumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands— (12) remember that you were at that time separated from Messiah, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel,(consisting of both houses and ruled over by King David) and strangers to the covenants of promise (the covenant that YHVH made with Abraham that he and his descendants will live in the Promised Land eternally – as Spiritual children of Elohim; but also the covenant YHVH made with David, that he will again rule over the restored commonwealth of Israel in what is now, the near future), having no hope and without Elohim in the world. (13) But now in Messiah Yahshua you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Messiah.” From this we understand that we need not immerse our Jewish Brothers, sins they have always known what sin is and could repent when they transgressed Elohim’s teachings, but also that we should only immerse those from the lost ten tribes of Israel, plus a number of real Gentiles, whom YHVH calls.

The whole point of Rav Shaul’s explanation in Romans 11 was to inform those of us whom YHVH is busy calling from the lost ten tribes scattered into mainly the western world, that the reason for temporarily blinding the house of Judah to the identity of Messiah’s person, to allow a number of returnees from the lost sheep of the house of Israel to return to the commonwealth of Israel, so that the kingdom of Elohim over Israel can be established for Messiah to come and rule us in the Promised Land as confirmed in Romans 11: 15, as follows: ‘For if their rejection be reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?’ We should be so honored for being part of the ones whom our Father is again treating as His own people and choosing us like He does our Jewish Brothers, as Rav Shaul confirms in Romans 11: 5, saying:‘In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to Elohim’s gracious choice.’ To understand when the first fruits will be resurrected from the dead and when our Jewish Brothers will accept Messiah, we turn to three well-known Scriptures, one from Zechariah, the second one from 1st Corinthians 15 and the third from Revelation 20 as follows:

Zechariah12: 7 – 10: “YHVH also will save the tents of Judah first in order that the glory of the house of David and glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not be magnified above Judah. (8) In that day YHVH will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who is feeble among them in that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like Elohim, like the angel of Elohim before them. (9) And it will come about in that day that I will set about to destroy all the nations that will come against Jerusalem. (These are the nations that the evil spirits who will gather the kings of the whole earth together for a war of the great day of Elohim discussed in Revelation 16: 14.) (10) And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and 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.”
1 Corinthians 15: 50 – 53: ‘Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of Elohim; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. (51) Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, (52) in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. (53)For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.’
Revelation 20: 6, ‘Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of Elohim and of Messiah and will reign with Him for a thousand years.”

However, after those of us have returned to the covenant that we made with YHVH, together with the house of Judah at Mount Sinai, we should regularly consult with our Jewish brothers to ensure that we comply fully with Elohim’s will and way, since we know that they have been given the oracles of Elohim. We should also remain in touch with the house of Judah by joining Kol Hator who organized an internet group to which I and a number of other congregational leaders belong throughout the world. They prepare regular feed-back and studies prepared by the Rabbis who are prepared to give us the necessary guidance to eventually facilitate our final getting together before Messiah comes to rule us from Jerusalem on Yom Teruah in the near future. That means that we need not deny Messiah ever, since we are fully aware that YHVH is our Savior and Redeemer as He tells us in Isaiah 43: 10 & 11, saying:“You (meaning we from Nazarene Israel and the house of Judah who believe in the Oneness) are My witnesses,” declares YHVH, “and My servant who I have chosen, in order that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no Elohim formed, and there will be none after Me. (11) I, even I, am YHVH; and there is no savior besides Me.”We also need to be aware that the word deny as used in the Renewed Covenant comes from the Greek work transliterated as ‘Arneomai’ means deny, but also to contradict. Therefore, we need to be more careful of actually contradicting what Messiah taught and did whilst He was on earth about 2000 years ago, such as insisting that we go to heaven, when He clearly said in John 3: 13 that no one is going to heaven, except Him who came from there. This is in agreement with what we read from Psalm 115: 16. A second area where people contradict what Messiah said is that they believe He did away with Torah, whereas He clearly stated in Matthew 5: 17 – 19, saying: “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfil (meaning to show us how to obey). (18) For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law, until all is accomplished. (19) Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and so teaches others, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. In addition He also spoke in the synagogue during one of the Feast Days of Elohimin John 5: 43 –47, saying: “I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another shall come in his own name, you will receive him, (44) How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only Elohim? (45) Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses; the one in whom you have set your hope. (46) For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote of Me. (47) But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

Daniel prophesied the time frame when Yahshua would arrive on the scene in Daniel 9: 24 - 27, as follows: “Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make and end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy (set-apart) place. (25) So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again with plaza and moat, even in times of distress. (26) Then after the sixty two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. (27) And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain (wave sheaf) offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction(the KJV reads: the consummation, meaning the end time here), one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.’The year of Yahshua’s impalement and the Passover, can be confirmed by correlating the prophecy of Daniel 9 with the occurrence described in Ezra 7. Daniel explained that there would be a time period of ‘seventy weeks’ that is to say 490 prophetic days. We are also told that 69 of these ‘weeks’, i.e. 483 years would run from the time of the decree to rebuild Jerusalem until the Messiah’s appearance. This decree of King Artexerxes that commences the count of the prophetic ‘weeks’ is recorded in Ezra 7. Ezra arrived in Jerusalem with the decree in the summer of 457 BCE. Adding 483 years to 457 BCE, brings us to 27 CE. This is the year during which Yahshua was immersed; He was about 30 years of age and His ministry began at the time when Yochanan the Immerser came to an end. Most researchers agree that His ministry lasted for 3½ years. He started His ministry in the fall (September/October) of 27 CE and was impaled in the spring of 31 CE. We know that Yahshua was impaled on the 4th day (or the middle) of the week and was resurrected three days and three nights later, at the end of the weekly Sabbath. This means that the Passover of 31 CE, the scripturally established time of His impalement, occurred on a Wednesday of that week. (For interest sake: Yahshua was cut off in the middle of the week, or after a ministry of only 3½ years. It is also believed that He will cut the 7 year period of the Great Tribulation (short) in half, at His return; thereby accounting for the difference of one week (7 years) between the 69 and 70 ‘weeks’ prophesied in Daniel 9.)

Both the British and U.S. Naval Observatories confirm that, that particular Passover occurred on the fourth day of the week (or Wednesday) that year. This agrees with the prophecy in Daniel 9: 27, which predicted that Yahshua would be cut off in the middle of the week. He was in the grave for three full days and three full nights according to His claim in Matthew 12: 40 and as witnessed of His resurrection in Matthew 28: 1 – 6. Titus a Roman general overpowered Jerusalem on the 7th of September 70 CE. His soldiers burned the Temple against his orders, with the result that the gold in the Temple melted down into the temple stones. It took another seven months to remove the melted gold from the destroyed Temple building, bringing us to about the same time in 71 CE, when Yahshua was impaled 40 years earlier. Titus returned to Rome in the spring of 71 CE. Yahshua predicted the destruction of the Temple in Matthew 24: 1 & 2, and added in Matthew 24: 34, saying: “Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.” In Scriptural times a generation was said to be 40 years as may be read from Psalm 95: 10 and Hebrews 3: 9 – 10; from the spring of 31 CE to spring of 71 CE is exactly 40 years, which is in total agreement with what Yahshua said. Zechariah even gives us Messiah’s name. The righteous Branch spoken about in Jeremiah 33: 15 refers to the Messiah. In Zechariah 3: 8 & 9 he tells us that the name of ‘My servant the Branch’ is Joshua and in Zechariah 6: 11 & 12 Joshua is crowned. We read further from verse 13, “Yes, it is He who will build the temple of YHVH(meaning us, the congregation of called out believers), and He who will bear the honor and sit and rule on His throne. Thus He will be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two offices.” Many orthodox Jews are busy coming to the conclusion that Yahshua was indeed the Messiah. The great Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzach Kaduri passed away on January 29, 2005. Just prior to his death, he gave an envelope containing a letter in which he said he will reveal the coming Messiah’s name. However, he told his students to only open the letter a year later, on the date that he died. When they opened the letter they found the name written in his hand, stating the name of Messiah to be Yehoshua. Even so, these Torah keeping Jews did not because of this revelation become Christians, since they understood Messiah’s message to be ‘to the Jew first’, as is confirmed in Romans 1: 16.

We who have been called from the Christian churches of the world need to realize that there is a major difference between believing in Yahshua the Messiah and ‘J*e*s*u*s* C* h*r*i*s*t’ of Christianity. The one whom Christianity serve is the one who performed many miracles, but denied Torah and is therefore not acceptable to Judaism in accordance with Deuteronomy 13: 1 – 3, as follows: “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.” Forty days after Yahshua’s resurrection, when He was about to ascend to heaven and He together with His disciples began climbing the Mount of Olives, His disciples became very excited since they knew that according to Zechariah 14: 14, the kingdom (of Elohim) would come when Messiah’s feet touches the same mountain. That is also why they asked Him at that time in Acts 1: 6 saying, “Master, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” Yahshua replied in verse 7 & 8, saying to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority; (8) but you shall receive power when the Holy (Set-apart) Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”

Yahshua’s parable of the prodigal son, who asked His father to give him his portion of his inheritance and then went and squandered it on living it up, pictures Ephraim, who is representative of the lost ten tribes. Judah is pictured by the Father’s eldest son, who remained with Him. Though YHVH had forsaken Ephraim for a time, He says of him in Jeremiah 31: 10, ‘And declare in the coastlands afar off, and say, “He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.’” We see in John 10: 11, Yahshua identified Himself to the Jews as being the ‘good shepherd’. Continuing in verse 16 of John 10, He also said to them: “And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they shall hear My voice; and they shall become one flock with one shepherd.” Yahshua was referring here to Ezekiel’s prophesy in Ezekiel 34: 23, as follows: “Then I will set over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will feed them; he will feed them himself and be their shepherd.” Yahshua never denied that He had come to restore the kingdom of Israel. Far from it! In fact all He did was to turn His disciples’ focus on finding the subjects of the house of Israel, as we read from Matthew 10: 5 & 6, 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.”Yahshua also said to the Canaanite woman who asked Him to show mercy to her demon possessed daughter in Matthew 15: 24 “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”In fact Yahshua was sending His disciples out to draw Ephraim back to the covenant that they forsook, as He was the Kinsman Redeemer for the prodigal tribes. The leaders in Yahshua’s community laid down four ground-rules in Acts 15 for new believers to follow at the beginning of their walk in the way of Elohim. The basics of Kashrut and niddah, the forsaking of idolatry and immorality were the first requirements for new believers. These are the things which today’s Christians do not even keep, let alone the fact that they ignore the very next qualifying statement in Acts 15: 21, in this way: “For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath.” This is saying that repentance to full Torah observance is a process, where initially we follow the basic four ground-rules and then as we learn about the Sabbath and Feast Days of Elohim, the wearing of tzitzit and circumcision, we will eventually grow to a point where we are fully Torah observant.

Rav Shaul was a Pharisee and continued to call himself that long after he started following Yahshua (as per Acts 23: 6). Rav Kepha warned in 2 Peter 3: 16 that Rav Shaul’s letters should not be taken lightly, admitting that ‘as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.’ That is basically the story of Christianity over the past 2, 000 years. However, we need to understand that since we were separated from our Father, as well as from brother Judah, because of our sins of idolatry, that it was Yahshua who brought us back, as Rav Shaul explained at length in Ephesians 2: 11 – 13 (quoted earlier) , but continued in verses 14 – 22, as follows: “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. (19) So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of Elohim’s household, (20) having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Messiah Yahshua Himself being the corner stone, (21) in whom the whole building, being fitted together is growing into a holy temple in YHVH; (22) in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of Elohim in the Spirit.’ Yes, it was the Father who called us out of the world, but it was because of Messiah’s sacrifice that we are able to be reconciled back to the Father. It is by immersion into Yahshua’s saving name that we are forgiven our past sins and given a portion of the Set-apart Spirit, thereby giving us access to the Father in prayer, but also to be ultimately resurrected (or changed) into spirit-born children of Elohim at the Messiah’s return one day.

According to Ezekiel 37, it will be YHVH who will ensure that once the fullness of the Gentiles have come out of the world and started keeping the Sabbath and the annual Feast Days of Elohim, eating only kosher foods and studying and obeying Torah, so much so that our conduct make our Jewish brothers jealous, that the two houses of Israel, will once more become one in His hand. Yahshua died for the sins of the world, but also to be able to remarry His bride, whom He divorced because of idolatry. It was for this reason that Yahshua’s dying words on the stake was ‘Kalah’ meaning ‘it is finished’ but also ‘My bride’. When He died He confirmed that because we died in immersion in Him, He will now be able to remarry us, His congregation of called out believers, who will be resurrected or changed, at His return to earth.When we come to YHVH through the only door available to us from the lost tribes, we should not be reluctant to confess Him to those who ask us about the hope that is within us, through Yahshua our Messiah, as He told His disciples in Matthew 10: 32 & 33, saying: “Everyone therefore who shall confess Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. (33) But whoever shall deny Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.” No matter who or what we believe Yahshua is, we need to be aware of what Rav Shaul wrote about Him in Philippians 2: 5 – 11, in this way: ‘Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Messiah Yahshua, (6) who, although He existed in the form of Elohim, did not regard equality with Elohim a thing to be grasped, (7) but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. (8) And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. (9) Therefore also Elohim highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, (10) that at the name of Yahshua EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, of those who are in heaven, and on earth and under the earth, (11) and that every tongue should confess that Yahshua Messiah is Master, to the glory of Elohim the Father.’ This is quoted from Isaiah 45: 23, where we read: “I have sworn by Myself; the word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness and will not turn back, that to Me every knee will bow, ever tongue will swear allegiance.” We continue to read from verse 24 of Isaiah 45, “They will say of Me, ‘Only in YHVH are righteousness and strength.’ Men will come to Him, and all who were angry at Him shall be put to shame.” Yahshua our Messiah as the word of Elohim who came in the flesh for the lost sheep of the house of Israel and not for the Jews. At this time the arm of YHVH has only been revealed to us and we need not share our knowledge about Him being with them, as they have been blinded to Him by Elohim to allow us to return, to ultimatelysave the commonwealth of Israel as the kingdom of Elohim. They already know about Messiah’s purpose to bring us back to the covenant we made with Elohim, together with them at Mount Sinai, but also to come and rule the world from Jerusalem and that should be sufficient for us.

Messiahthe visible image of the invisible Elohim (as per Colossians 1: 15) is the only way in which we from the house of Israel can relate to the Father. As the word of Elohim He is part of the Father who came only for us as Yahshua the Messiah. When YHVH comes to rule the world from Jerusalem He will be the only one and His name will be the only one, as we read from Zechariah 14: 9, in this way: ‘And YHVH will be king over all the earth; in that day YHVH will be the only one, and His name the only one.’ We see further from 1 Corinthians 15: 22 - 28 that after Messiah has finally fulfilled His role during the great white throne judgement, He will as the Word go back into the Father, as follows: ‘For as in Adam all die, so also in Messiah all shall be made alive (as spiritual children of Elohim). (23) But each in his own order: Messiah the first fruit(s), after that those who are Messiah’s at His coming, (24) then comes the end (ones), when He delivers up the kingdom to the Elohim and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. (25) For He must reign until He has put all enemies under His feet. (26) The last enemy that will be abolished is death (as may be read from Revelation 20: 14, when there will not be any physical human beings prone to death any longer). (27) For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, “All things are put in subjection,” it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. (28) And when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, that Elohim may be all in all.’ Yes, Yahshua the visible image of the invisible Elohim will be around until all human beings have been changed into spirit-born children of Elohim.

Even though the Scriptures do not say so directly, but from reading Revelation 22: 1 – 4, it appears as if Yahshua the lamb of Elohim, will go back into the Father, from where He came (John 1: 18), as follows: ‘And he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne (singular) of Elohim and the Lamb (The footnote against the words the Lamb in the NASB reads: or the Lamb), (2) In the middle of its street. And on either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (3) And there shall no longer be any curse; and the throne of Elohim and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His bond-servants shall serve Him; (4) and they shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.’ Think about it!
