Nazarene Israelite Two House Congregation of Port Elizabeth

Once called we should not turn back to the weak elemental things of the world.

Most of what Rav Shaul wrote to the house of Israel exiled into the then known world was misinterpreted by those who ‘took care’ of the children of Jacob whom YHVH dispersed into the world, because of idolatry. This is why Rav Shaul asked the brethren who were in the various congregations that he established for exiled members of the house of Israel in Galatia at that time, who returned to the covenant that they made with Elohim together with the house of Judah at Mount Sinai, in Galatians 3: 1 (KJV) saying: ‘O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth (meaning TheTanachthe way Yahshua identified it in His prayer to the Father in Heaven in John 17: 17[1],which some mistakenly believe to be ‘The Old Testament’), before whose eyes Yahshua Messiah hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? Besides some falsely assume this truth to be about Yahshua and Him crucified, butbyconsidering what Rav Shaul wrote in Galatians 3: 10 (NASB), we understand that it involves more than that, as follows: ‘For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse(as witnessed in Romans 4: 15[2]); for it is written, “CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM.” It is clear from this that we need to abide by what is written in Torah or come under the curses given in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28.

Continuingin Galatians 3: 13, Rav Shaul tells those who are returning to the covenant made with YHVH, that Messiah paid the penalty for our past lawbreakingby becoming cursed for us when He was hung upon a tree, so that we may again become eligible to the promise that YHVH made to Abraham’s offspring through Isaac and Jacob to dwell eternally as resurrected spiritual children of Elohim in the Promised Land. Rav Shaul aptly explained in verses 16 to 19, that Messiah the one seed of Abraham became a sacrifice for the sins of the house of Israel and essentially did away with the Sacrificial Law that was introduced after the sin of the golden calfandcannotinvalidate the law of inheritance previously ratified by Elohim,since He granted it to Abraham by means of a promise. It is for this reason that Rav Shaul explains that the Sacrificial Law became our Tutor to help us understand that every time we sin, there has to be shedding of blood, until Messiah became the sacrifice for the sins of those who are immersed in His saving name. Rav Shaul concludes in Galatians 3: 29, saying: ‘And if you belong to Messiah, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.’  Rav Shaul then continues to explain the Law of inheritance in Galatians 4: 1 & 2, saying:‘Now I say, as long as the heir is a child (not ready to satisfy all the conditions to inherit the promise yet), he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything(as witnessed in Hebrews 1: 1 & 2[3] and Romans 8: 16 & 17[4]), (2) but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father.’  Rav Shaul explains further in Romans 8: 28 & 29 that when Messiah returns to rule the world one day in the near future, we will have fulfilled the conditions to inherit all things with Him, provided we remain faithful to that time or when we die, saying: ‘And we know that Elohim causes all things to work together for good to those who love Elohim, to those who are called according to His purpose. (29) For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren.’ Continuing on in Galatians 4: 9, Rav Shaul admonished returnees, saying: ‘But now that you have come to know Elohim, or rather to be known by Elohim, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?’But what are the weak and worthless elemental things that Rav Shaul is talking about here? We find the answer in his letter to the Colossians in Colossians 2: 20, where he wrote s in the first part, saying: ‘If you have died with Messiah to the elementary principles of the world…’At this point it is important for us to understand that all Rav Shaul’s letters that he wrote to the returnees in Galatia, parts of Greece and Rome are interrelated and thatthey are all interdepended andcomplimentsoneanother. By turning to Romans 6: 1 - 7, we discover that he explains it, saying: ‘What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace might increase? (2) May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? (3)  Or do you not know that all of us who have been immersed into Messiah Yahshua have been immersed into His death? (4) Therefore we have been buried with Him through immersion into death, in order that as Messiah was raised from then dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. (5) For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection, (6) knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, that our body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin; (7) for he who has died is freed from sin (not Torah).’He concludes this in verses 15 - 18 of Romans 6, saying: ‘What then? Shall we sin because we are not under (the punishment of the) law but under grace? May it never be! (16) Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?  (17) But thanks be to Elohim that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, (18) and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.’ We who are alive at this time live in both dangerous but also exiting times.

 In fact those of us alive at this time will see more miraculous events than any other generation before has seen, as Yahshua witnessed in John 14: 12, saying: “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father.”However, we read from Matthew 24: 21 where Yahshua said: ‘For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginningof the world until now, nor ever shall.’ For this very reason both YHVH and Satan ispresently busy preparing their people for things soon to occur! Whilst YHVH is preparing His people by calling them to come out of the Babylonian systems of the world to become obedient to His Torah and the testimony of Yahshua the Messiah, Satan is preparing his people to receive him as the god and counterfeit messiah of the world by deceiving them to believe that the Torah was abolished by a false messiah, as Rav Shaul wrote in 2 Thessalonians 2: 1 – 4, saying: ‘Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Master Yahshua Messiah, and our gathering together to Him,(2) that you may not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of YHVH has come. (3) Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, (4) who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of Elohim, displaying himself as being Elohim.’

However, since YHVH is calling people through different avenues to return to their Hebrew roots and understanding of the gospel of the coming Kingdom of Elohim, people are answering His call by coming out of the religions of the world, but mainly from Christianity, finding consolation in many well-meaning groups who sometimes exist purely for financial gain and to further Satan’s work. The problem with most of these different alternative groups is that they are merely additional counterfeits to Elohim’s one true faith once delivered to the saints.  It is like most of the protestantgroups, each time they accept a new section of the one true faith, they start another group which results in more division amongst true believers, who major in minors that they themselves do not even understand. An example being groups who preach the true gospel, but insist in keeping their own so-called Biblical calendars and Sabbaths that start at different times; a way of getting true believers to keep their Feast Days and Sabbaths at different days and times to what Elohim ordained from the beginning. This will eventually result in their followers being a few days out, when our Messiah returns one day on Yom Teruah, to marry His one true bride chosen for Him by the Father, as witnessed by the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25: 8 - 12, as follows: “And the foolish said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ (9) But the prudent answered saying, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’ (10) And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. (11)  And later the other virgins also came saying, ‘Master, master, open up for us.” (12)  But he answered and said, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’ Such groups have always misinterpreted Romans 11, and do not understand what Rav Shaul meant when he wrote in verse 15, saying:‘For if their rejection be the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?’ I know that certain groups believe this verse to be about the Last Great Day, when people will be resurrected just as they were before, as human beings, when the Scriptures will be opened to their understanding and they will be able to make an informed decision whether to follow Elohim’s way of life, without any interference from Satan and his agents, as explained in Revelation 20: 12, as follows: ‘And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books (meaning the books of the Bible) were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books according to their deeds.’ This will be similar to when Yahshua opened the Scriptures to the minds of His disciples after His death and resurrection in Luke 24: 44 & 45, as follows:  ‘Now He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” (45) Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.’

However, Rav Shaul was actually talking about our Jewish Brothers in Hebrews 11: 15and what he was saying about them, is that whilst they are blinded to the identity of the true Messiah whom they also believe will come to rule the world from Jerusalem,they are presently enemies of the gospel for the sake of those being called from the house of Israel at this time (as per Romans 11: 28). But we are given the assurance that when Messiah returns they will accept Him as their Savior and Elohim in the same way the unbelieving Thomas did, when He saw Yahshua’s hands after His resurrection, whenthe dead in Messiah will be resurrected, as witnessed in Zechariah 12: 7 – 10, in this way:‘YHVH also will save the tents of Judah first in order that the 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 YHVH before them. (9) And it will come about in that day that I will set about to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem (most of us know that this is talking about the Feast of Trumpets or Yom Teruah upon which Messiah will come/return one day soon). (10) And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace (through which we are saved) 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.’  Believe it or not, when Yahshua returns one day on Yom Teruah, He will go to the Jewish synagogues first, where they will be gathered for Rosh Hashanah, when they see His hands the dead in Messiah will be raised as Rav Shaul explained in 1 Corinthians 15: 51 & 52, saying:‘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.’ Those alive in Messiah, at His return, who qualified to rule with Him as Kings and Priests will be changed into immortal Spiritual born-again children of Elohim.

Then on the Day of Atonement Elohim will remarry a remnant from both houses of Israel, to assist Him in ruling the government of Elohim on earth, as recorded in Jeremiah 31: 31 – 33, in this way: “Behold, days are coming,” declares YHVH, “when I will make a new (marriage) 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.”  Only the house of Israel needs the Torah to be written upon their hearts and minds, since Judah has never stopped obeying Torah. Obviously this is only talking about strictly Torah observant Jews, who remained Torah observant to the end. It is not talking about those who rarely attend their synagogues and are Jews in name only. Satan has deceived many true believers to follow different Set-apart Days to what Judah is following, despite YHVH saying to Judah in Nahum 1: 15, ‘Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news (meaning the true gospel about the coming Kingdom of Elohim), who announces peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; pay your vows. For never again will the wicked one pass through you; he is cut off completely.”

At the heart of those who answer Elohim’s call, is a desire to return to the true Gospel as it was proclaimed and understood by the early congregation. Through this understanding and return to the Hebrew roots of the gospel, people are coming out of the religions of the world by the hundreds, combining their faith in Yahshua with obedience to Torah. It is at the time of our return to the way of Elohim and His Torah, that those of us from the religions of the world have to confess what is written in Jeremiah 16: 19 - 20, as follows: ‘O YHVH, my strength and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of distress, to Thee the nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited nothing but falsehood, futility and things of no profit.” (20) Can man make gods for himself? Yet they are not gods!  By now, we have learned that the lies handed down to us by our forefathers weremerely traditions created by the Roman Catholic Church and perpetuated by protestant Christianity. We should realize that Yahshua was born a Jew, that He never changed His religion during His lifetime and that the early congregation of called out believers were mostly Jews, who did not celebrate Xmas and Easter, but rather the Feast Days of Elohim, given in Leviticus 23. We are aware that Elohim’s Sabbath is still on the seventh day of the week, called Saturday. But also that a day starts in the evening at sunset and lasts until the next evening at sunset, when the next day starts, and not at midnight, as per the calendar ordained and used by Churchianity. Similar to the way that YHVH called the ancient Israelites out of Egypt (which is likened unto sin in the Scriptures); He is calling us out of our personal sin or lawlessness, to follow Him and His teachings or Torah, which He inspired to be written as a manual of how to live our lives for our own good.

But, the question is: How is it that some whohas responded to Elohim’s calling and have forsaken the pagan ways of the religions of the world, sometimes desire to return to them for instruction and for healing? These religions which worship a false messiah according to Deuteronomy 13: 1& 2, whomtheyrefer to as Christ; who breaks the weekly Sabbath, have cleansed all food for them and justified the eating of pig and other unclean meats listed in Leviticus 11, whom they believe, nailed Torah to the cross andwas resurrected on a Sunday, thereby justifying their worship services on Sunday. These religions who reject the Torah as Elohim’s standard of what sin is; who defile the inspired teachings in the Scriptures with the teachings of men, do not realize that the Torah is Spiritual and only those from the lost sheep of the house of Israel who received a portion of Elohim’ Set-apart Spirit upon immersion in Yahshua’s name, which Torah observant members of the House of Judah receive because of obedience, are able to keep and understand it. It is only those who have a portion of Elohim’s Set-apart Spirit indwelling them, who is capable of obeying and submitting to Torah. In addition, Elohim only gives His Set-apart Spirit to those who continue to obey Him, as witnessed in Acts 5: 32, in this way: “And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy (Set-apart)Spirit, whom Elohim has given to those who obey Him.” But, the pointis: once we receive the Set-apart Spirit we do not belong to ourselves any longer, as is recorded in Romans 8: 14, as follows: ‘For all who are being led by the Spirit of Elohim, these are sons of Elohim.’  Therefore, then why after coming out from among those who are bitterly opposed to Torah, who strongly disagree with those who obey it, saying it is ‘legalism’ and who do not understand who Messiah is and what He taught whilst He was on earth, do we want to go back to them? It is very important for us to remember that once we are betrothed to Elohim, He is a jealous Elohim, as He said in Exodus 20: 5& 6:“You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, YHVH your Elohim, am a jealous Elohim, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, (6) but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.”

Do we not understand the plain language given in Numbers 15: 15, where we read: ‘As for the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the alien who sojourns with you (those who accepts Elohim’s way of life), a perpetual statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the alien be before YHVH.’ This is the exact opposite what some Messianic congregations teach their non-Jewish members. They hold that ex-Christians may join them in their Feast Days and Sabbaths, but are free to attend Sunday, Xmas and Easter sunrise services in the Christian Church.Yahshua did not send His disciples to learn from unbelieving priests and pagan sorcerers how to serve the Father, no He taught that unless we believe Torah, we cannot believe in Him asHe told the Jewish leaders in John 5: 46 & 47, saying:“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?” He said further in Matthew 5: 17 – 20, “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. (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. (20) For I say to you, that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven.’Pagan teachers and those who are presently in the Babylon of confusion called Churchianity, reads about the resurrection of the dead in the Scriptures, but do not understand when it will happen, simply because they refuse to obey Elohim’s Torah and His ordained Feast days. They also do not understand that there will be two resurrections, one when Messiah returns and one after Messiah’s thousand year rule on earth. Most believe that the New Jerusalem will come down to earth, when Messiah returns to earth one day soon. They do not even realize thata general resurrection of all who ever lived will only occur after the Great White Throne Judgment depicted in Revelation 20. These teachers do not understand the Messiah whom they claim to follow. They claim to be filled with the Set-apart Spirit, but do not even obey the Torah that the Scriptures mention as a prerequisite to receiving the Set-apart Spirit. The point is, not only do they not keep it, but they also actively reject and oppose it and by so doing curse themselves and their children. Yahshua referred to people like that in Matthew 7: 21 – 23, saying:“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. (22) Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Master, Master, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ (23) And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’”

Even though many in Churchianity, Messianic Judaism and even some Nazarene Israelites believe that Rav Shaul taught contrary to Yahshua’s teachings, that Torah is abolished, he knew that he had no right to do so,and was really teaching about the importance of all the commandments including those viewed as least, or the ones that people believe they need not keep any longer; stressing thatthe Set-apart Spirit is the necessary agent for enabling righteousness. Rav Shaul did not teach that Torah is done away with as is also confirmed in Acts 25: 7 & 8, in this way: ‘And after he had arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many and serious charges against him which they could not prove; (8) while Shaul said in his own defense, “I have committed no offense either against the Law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.” However, lawless Churchianity and many Messianic believers who distort Rav Shaul’s words claim that he taught against Torah, as Rav Kepha also warned in 2 Peter 3: 14 – 16, saying: ‘Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, (15) and regard the patience of our Master to be salvation; just as also our beloved brother Shaul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, (16) 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.’These same Torahless people proclaim to be full of the Set-apart Spirit, since they have the ability of speaking in tongues and the gift of healing. But without even realizing it, these are in their case the deceptions of Satan. Whereas the gift of tongues as described in the Scriptures is a gift of understanding/speaking and interpreting foreign languages without learning it. It is not something learned through a seminar; it is not something that can be coaxed through the rubbing of one’s chest or throat or by learning to mumble a few foreign sounding syllables. The same can be said about healing – it is not something that you learn at a seminar. Rav Yaa’cov states clearly in James 5: 14 - 16, saying: ‘Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the congregation, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Master; (15) and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Master will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. (16) Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of the righteous man can accomplish much.’When Yahshua send His disciples out He gave them certain powers as may be read from Matthew 10: 5 – 8, 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 dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons; freely you received, freely give.’”

We need not go to Christian healers who claim to have the Set-apart Spirit, who will at their so-called healing campaigns, where they babble in tongues and miraculously ‘heal’ some by deceptionand claim a contribution from the people as a love gift towards their work, since they are doing the exact opposite of what our Master and savior taught. They are the same as Simon Magus, who tried to buy the Set-apart Spirit from the apostles, to enable him to perform the same miracles they did, as recorded in Acts 8: 17 - 23, as follows:“Then they began laying their hands on them, and they were receiving the Set-apart Spirit. (18) Now when Simon (Magus) saw that the Spirit was bestowed through the laying on of the apostles hands, he offered them money, (19) saying, “Give this authority to me as well, so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Set-apart Spirit.” (20) But Kepha said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of Elohim with money! (21) You have no part or portion in this matter, for your heart is not right before Elohim. (22) Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray the Master that if possible, the intention of your heart may be forgiven you. (23) For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”Yahshua told His disciples in John 8: 12,saying:“I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.” Rav Yochanan therefore wrote in first John 1: 6 & 7, saying: ‘If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; (7) but if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Yahshua His son cleanses us from all sin.’

We conclude by reading Rav Kepha’s words from first Peter 2: 21 – 25, as follows: ‘For you have been called for this purpose, since Messiah also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, (22) WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH; (23) and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; (24) and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. (25) For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.’ It is clear therefore if we ask YHVH to heal the sick in Yahshua’s whose body was bruised for our healing and whose blood was shed for the forgiveness of our sin they will be healed. We should stay away from the religions of the world and since we have been called to come out of their confusion (Babylon), we should not be learning from them any longer, as Rav Shaul wrote in 2 Corinthians 6: 14 - 18, saying:  ‘Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? (15) Or what harmony has Messiah with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? (16) Or what agreement has the temple of Elohim with idols? For we are the temple of the living Elohim; just as Elohim said, “I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR ELOHIM, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. (17) Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE,” says YHVH. “AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; and I will welcome you. (18) And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me,” says YHVH Almighty.’ Selah!

 

[1]Yahshua identified the Tanach as being truth in John 17: 17, saying: “Sanctify them (meaning his disciples including us His modern day disciples) in the truth;Thy word is truth.” Understanding that Yahshua was talking to the Father here and that during the time that He was on earth, the only word of Elohim that was available at that time was the Tanach as the Renewed Covenant was only written after His death and ascension to heaven.
