What are the Mysteries of our Nazarene Israelite faith?

The doctrine of the two houses of Israel is a mystery to most and as a result the majority of Messianic and Christian believers deny or are unaware of the existence of the two houses of Israel and are for that reason blinded to the reality that the events playing out in the major nations of the world today, have been prophesied in the Scriptures and are about the latter day people of the house of Israel and the house of Judah. Furthermore, very few people are familiar with the two-fold promise that YHVH made with Abraham through Isaac and Jacob, namely that he and his descendants will inherit the Promised Land eternally, on condition that they remain loyal to Elohim and His Torah, including to circumcise their sons at eight days old, as a sign of the everlasting covenant. The promise further entailed that YHVH would bring a remnant of Abraham’s children known as the lost ten tribes of Israel, who lost their inheritance to the Promised Land because of idolatry, back to the covenant they made with Him, together with the house of Judah at Mount Sinai, through Abraham’s One seed, Yahshua, through whom He will also save the rest of mankind after the second resurrection during the great white throne judgment period. This is also why Yahshua stated His main purpose for coming to earth the first time, when asked by the Canaanite woman to heal her demon-possessed daughter in Matthew 15: 24, saying: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

The events taking place in especially the English speaking nations of the world have been prophesied to happen in the Scriptures by Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, as well as the minor prophets, many years before the birth of Messiah. But, without knowing who the two houses of Israel are this vital key necessary to unlock the doors of Scriptural prophecy has been lost to society in general. Nevertheless, most Nazarene Israelites are aware that Elohim brought the people of Israel out of Egypt by the hand of Moses and took them into the wilderness, where they became the nation of Israel, when He entered into an everlasting covenant with them at Mount Sinai. The question at this point is, why are there so many different opinions regarding the basic doctrines of our Nazarene Jewish/Israelite faith? Why can’t we agree on basic doctrines such as the timing on Elohim’s annual Sabbaths given in Leviticus 23 and Deuteronomy 16; the Oneness of Elohim; and many other topics, which cause us to split into smaller and smaller groups, as the time of Messiah’s return draws near? The reason is also two-fold; the main reason being that those who are teaching the congregation, who should be stewards of the mysteries of Elohim, do not believe or understand these mysteries given throughout the Scriptures. The second reason is the age old problem of selfish ambition and jealousy which in some cases includes anti-Semitism. Rav Shaul talking about selfish ambition wrote in Philippians 1: 15 – 17 concerning such teachers, in this way: ‘Some, to be sure, are preaching Messiah even from envy and strife, but some also from good will; (16) the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel; (17) the former proclaim Messiah out of selfish ambition, rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.’

Those who always find fault with the writings of Rav Shaul are totally unaware of all the mysteries that he disclosed for us in the Scriptures. Rav Kepha in discussing Rav Shaul’s writings in 2 Peter 3: 14 – 16 wrote: ‘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 Paul (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.’ Since there are many called out believers who were deceived to mistrust the writings of Rav Shaul, they also do not believe or understand the mysteries of our faith, as a large percentage of these mysteries are discussed in his various teachings. Because of anti-Semitism, a large number of called out believers do not understand Yahshua’s main purpose and the fact that it is (YHVH)’s doing, that the Jews do not know the identity of the true Messiah at this time. A major part of the mysteries of our faith are in fact linked to the stumbling stone spoken about in both the Tanach and the Renewed Covenant. Rav Shaul links the stumbling stone to the mystery of our faith in 1 Corinthians 1: 21 – 25, in this way: ‘For since in the wisdom of Elohim the world through its wisdom did not come to know Elohim, Elohim was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. (22) For indeed Jews ask for signs, and Greeks search for wisdom; (23) but we preach Messiah crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles foolishness, (24) but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah the power of Elohim and the wisdom of Elohim. (25) Because the foolishness of Elohim is wiser than men, and the weakness of Elohim is stronger than men.’ The Greek term σКάνδαλον (skandalon) refers to a trap or a snare. The term skandalon comes from the Greek translation of the Tanach known as the Septuagint. A skandalon as a snare or a trap causes people to fall, because they are not able to believe the same and would as a result be offended or disappointed by it.

Continuing in 1 Corinthians 2: 1 – 11, we have further confirmation from Rav Shaul that Elohim has hidden the identity of Yahshua from the Jewish leaders of His day, as follows; ‘And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony (or mystery) of Elohim. (2) For I determined to know nothing among you except Yahshua Messiah, and Him crucified. (3) And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. (4) And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, (5) that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of Elohim (namely Yahshua, as we are told in verse 24 of 1 Corinthians 1.) (6) Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature, a wisdom, however, not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; (7) but we speak Elohim’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which Elohim predestined before the ages to our glory; (8) the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the Master of glory (If the leaders of Yahshua’s day, understood who He was, they would not have had Him killed, and if that happened, we would still be in our sins); (9) but just as it is written, “THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT ELOHIM HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.” (10) For to us Elohim revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of Elohim. (11) For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the thoughts of Elohim no one knows except the Spirit of Elohim.’ Most of us understand that we receive the Set-apart Spirit of Elohim when we are immersed into Yahshua’s saving name (as per Acts 2: 38) and the laying on of hands by the elders, as is confirmed in Acts 8: 14 – 17.

We ought to be thankful that YHVH has blinded our Jewish brothers, allowing those whom He has called from the lost ten tribes, to share a place in the olive tree. We are warned in Romans 11: 20 – 22, not to be conceited about it, but to fear, lest YHVH break us off as well. If we persevere and do what we are called to do, all Israel shall be saved, when the full number of those that YHVH wants, from the lost ten tribes have come in, as we read in Romans 11: 25 - 27, as follows: ‘For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery, (which we only understand when we have the Set-apart Spirit indwelling us) lest you be wise in your own estimation (talking about those who believe that they have been given the authority of the Sanhedrin, to determine the Set-apart Days of Elohim, because they believe that our Jewish brothers have ‘lost it’), that a partial hardening has happened to Israel (Jewish Israel) until the fullness of the Gentiles (the lost ten tribes who have forgotten that they are Israel, as well as some actual Gentiles) has come in; (26) and thus all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, “THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB.” (Talking about Yahshua being Jewish, who paid the indebtedness for breaking the Torah, for both houses of Israel.) (27) “AND THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.” When Yahshua returns one day on the Feast of Trumpets, the Jews (those who remain righteous and attend Synagogue services) will see His hands and accept Him as their Messiah and Savior, as may be read in Zechariah 12: 10 – 14, and as Thomas did, when He saw Yahshua’s hands, in John 20: 28.

Most of those called at this time are from Christianity and are ‘Gentiles’ only in a secondary sense. Christianity is a counterfeit of Nazarene Judaism started by Simon Magus, the person mentioned in Acts 8: 9 – 13 & 18 – 21, in this way: ‘Now there was a certain man named Simon, who formerly was practicing magic in the city, and astonishing the people of Samaria, claiming to be someone great; (10) and they all, from smallest to greatest, were giving attention to him, saying, “This man is what is called the Great Power of Elohim.” (11) And they were giving him attention because he had for a long time astonished them with his magic arts. (12) But when they believed Philip preaching the good news about the kingdom of Elohim and the name of Yahshua Messiah they were being immersed, men and women alike. (13) And even Simon himself believed; and after being immersed he continued on with Philip; and as he observed signs and great miracles taking place, he was constantly amazed. (18) Now when Simon 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.”’ Christianity being a counterfeit of the real thing is a dangerous religion used by Satan to deceive the whole world.

Even though Yahshua redeemed us from our past sins and the curses of the Law, as we are told in Galatians 3: 13, if we continue to break the Torah laws of YHVH our Elohim, we again curse ourselves and our children, as we read from Deuteronomy 28: 15, as follows: “But it shall come about, if you will not obey YHVH your Elohim, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes with which I charge you today, that all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you.” We are all aware that Christianity teaches that Yahshua (they refer to our Messiah as Jesus) has abolished the strict Laws of His Father, but we know that Yahshua said just the opposite in Matthew 5: 17 – 20, in this way: “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill (or make it more binding, as may be understood from reading the rest of Matthew 5). (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.”

How many people have in ignorance tattooed their bodies, without ever reading Leviticus 19: 28, thinking that the Torah does not apply to Christians any longer? How many Westerners, who do not know that they are Israelites have given their children to Molech, by having abortions done, because of their immoral lifestyles? Most parents teach their children not to touch a hot stove, and not to run with scissors, but do we teach them about the shame and punishment that incest brings? The scripture that Satan uses to get Christianity to believe this lie, is found in Colossians 2: 14 as follows: “having cancelled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us and which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.” However, one thing is certain; it does not say that the Law is nailed to the cross, but that the certificate of debt – the document of our indebtedness was nailed to the cross. It is similar to when we receive a traffic ticket for speeding in a build-up area; after paying the traffic ticket for the offense that we committed, we are not allowed to continue breaking the traffic laws, are we? In a similar way, after Yahshua paid the death penalty due to each and every one of us, because of our disobedience to Torah, we cannot go on sinning; else we are crucifying Messiah over and over again. Even though we know that no amount of Law keeping can bring us salvation, since it is a free gift of Elohim, who loves us; we keep Elohim’s commandments to show Him that we love and obey Him as our Creator. It is literally as Rav Yaa’cov wrote in James 2: 24, saying: ‘You see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone.’ However, as I mentioned before, even some of those called out by YHVH at this time (have for reasons already mentioned), in trying to usurp the authority of the Levites among the Jews are beginning to lose the keys given the apostles by Yahshua in Matthew 16: 19. The first key being the key to the Kingdom of Elohim, as explained by Rav Kepha and Rav Shaul as they described it for us in the following Scriptures:

Acts 2: 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.”’ In Acts 4: 11 & 12 talking about Yahshua Rav Kepha said: “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.” Rav Shaul wrote in Romans 8: 11, ‘But if the Spirit of Him who raised Yahshua from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Messiah Yahshua from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you.’

The second key given to Rav Kepha and the apostles is; understanding Elohim’s plan of salvation for all mankind, as depicted by the Feast Days of Elohim, given in Leviticus 23 and Deuteronomy 16, and as preserved for us by those who sit in Moses’ seat today, namely the Rabbinical Jews. Some who left us, again came to believe the Christian lie, that all people must come to repentance during this age, quoting Acts 17: 30, as follows: “Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, Elohim is now declaring to men that all everywhere should repent,” However Rav Shaul was here specifically talking to the men of Athens (Greeks who always search for new wisdom) who believed in an unknown G-D, telling them that they should seek YHVH who made all things and does not dwell in temples made by human hands. He also told them that Elohim’s Divine Nature is not like an image formed by the thoughts of man. However, we also read the second part of what he told them in the above quote from verse 31 (being part of the point being discussed in verse 30), “because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.” It is true, there is awaiting each one of us a day of judgment, as explained in 1 Corinthians 15: 23 & 24, as follows: ‘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.’ Many have lost the understanding that they had regarding being born again, as Yahshua explained in John 3, and Rav Shaul discussed in 1 Corinthians 15: 20 – 55.

It is important for us to understand why and how Satan is deceiving the whole world to believe in religious confusion, where they say that they believe in Yahshua and what He taught whilst He was on earth, but contradict most of what He taught anyway. Yes, this is also known as a mystery, as we read from Revelation 17: 4 to the first part of verse 6, in this way: ‘And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality, (5) and upon her forehead a name was written, a mystery, “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” (6) And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints (true believers), and with the blood of the witnesses of Yahshua.’ Having discussed the reasons for not believing or understanding the mysteries revealed by Rav Shaul, let’s consider some of the mysteries mentioned in his letters. In Rav Shaul’s epistle to the Romans he quotes from Isaiah 28: 16, applying the same to Yahshua our Messiah and the reason for our Jewish brothers not believing in Him, in Romans 9: 30 – 33, as follows: ‘What shall we say then? That Gentiles (those of the lost ten tribes who believe they are Gentiles), who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith; (31) but Israel (the Jews in this case), pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law. (32) Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as though it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone, (33) just as it is written, “BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.”’ This is the same reference used by Rav Kepha in 1 Peter 2: 6 – 10, where he acknowledges a second time, that Yahshua is the rock upon which He is building His congregation, in this way: ‘For this is contained in Scripture: “BEHOLD I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” (7) This precious value, then, is for you who believe. But for those who disbelieve, “THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE VERY CORNER stone (8) and, “A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE”; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word (Yes this is talking about the Jews of Messiah’s day, but it is also talking about those who reject Him as the only foundation upon which the congregation is built), and to this doom they were also appointed. (9) But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR Elohim’s OWN POSSESSION, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; (10) for you once WERE NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF ELOHIM; you had not RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.”

Yes, Yahshua is the foundation upon which His congregation is built and not the Pope or any of Yahshua’s apostles as some believe, as is confirmed by Rav Shaul in 1 Corinthians 3: 11, as follows: ‘For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Yahshua Messiah.’ We who have come to believe that Yahshua is the visible image of the invisible Elohim, as explained in Colossians 1: 15 have no difficulty to recognize that He is the One spoken about in Isaiah 7 & 8. In a prophecy about Miriam, we read from Isaiah 7: 14, “Therefore YHVH Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel (meaning Elohim with us).” Continuing in Isaiah 8: 8 – 10, 14 – 16, we read: “Then it will sweep on into Judah, it will overflow and pass through, it will reach even to the neck; and the spread of its wings will fill the breath of your land, O Immanuel. (9) Be broken, O peoples, and be shattered; and give ear all remote places of the earth. Gird yourselves, yet be shattered. Gird yourselves, yet be shattered. (10) Devise a plan but it will be thwarted; state a proposal but it will not stand, for Elohim is with us.”(14) “Then He shall become a sanctuary; but to both the houses of Israel, a stone to strike and a rock to stumble over, and a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem. (15) And many will stumble over them, then they will fall and be broken; they will even be snared and caught. (16) Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. (17) And I will wait for YHVH who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; I will even look eagerly for Him.”

We see the reason for YHVH hiding His face from His people in Micah 3: 4, as follows: ‘Then they will cry out to YHVH, but He will not answer them. Instead, He will hide His face from them at that time, because they have practiced evil deeds.’ But in Isaiah 45: 15, we get a hint to the true identity of Yahshua our Messiah, in this way: ‘Truly, Thou art an Elohim who hides Himself, O Elohim of Israel, Savior!’ We see further from Isaiah 30: 19 - 21 that during the millennium, when the inhabitants of Jerusalem will weep no more, YHVH will no longer hide Himself, as follows: ‘O people in Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. (20) Although YHVH has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher. (21) And your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left.’ Rav Shaul recognizes the Identity of Yahshua as the Messiah whom Elohim has sent, to rescue all of mankind and to reconcile them to Elohim, as being the stumbling block to both Jews and Greeks (non-Jews) in 1 Corinthians 1: 23, but also informs the reader that Yahshua is both the power and wisdom of Elohim in verse 24. Even though YHVH created mankind in His image, the relationship between mankind and our Creator changed drastically, when Adam and Eve sinned. Because of their sin, man was no longer a perfect image of Elohim, and Elohim Himself became a ‘man’ in the form of Yahshua Messiah, because only Elohim the Creator could redeem the returning lost sheep from the house of Israel, but eventually also for the sins of all mankind – as only His life is worth more than all the lives of those whom He has created. This is why Rav Shaul wrote in Romans 8:29, ‘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.’

This major stumbling block (or skandalon) originated in the way Elohim revealed Himself in the Torah. YHVH revealed Himself as the Creator and sustainer of mankind: informing them that; He is YHVH their One and Only Elohim; to honor His Name; and not to make any idols or likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. But, in order to accomplish His redemptive work YHVH had to become a man in Yahshua the Messiah. Rav Kepha explained in Acts 4: 11 & 12, that not only may we be saved through the scandal of YHVH incarnate, but the scandal of His crucifixion is the only way for mankind to be reconciled to Elohim. It is in His incarnation as Yahshua our Messiah, the Lamb of Elohim that we worship YHVH our Creator and Redeemer. Rav Shaul’s speech in Acts 17 was an attempt to define Elohim in terms of what He has done for mankind. Rav Shaul understood that the so-called unknown god had to be made known. The Scriptural revelation requires that the name of Elohim be made known to mankind and when He revealed Himself in Exodus 3: 14, He said to Moses: “I AM WHO I AM.” The footnote against 'I AM' in this verse in the New American Standard Bible reads: ‘Related to the Name of G-d, YHWH rendered LORD, which is derived from the verb HAYAH, to be.’ This essentially means that YHVH can be whatever we need Him to be, as may be understood from His many names given in the Tanach, for example; YHVH-YIRAH meaning YHVH our Provider in Genesis 22: 14; YHVH-NISSI meaning YHVH is My Banner in Exodus 17: 15; and YHVH-TSIDIKENU meaning YHVH Our Righteousness in Jeremiah 23: 6, which in essence referred to Yahshua the righteous Branch, through whom we His creation attains righteousness and who will reign as king over Judah and Israel during the millennium. We also know that the meaning of Yahshua’s name is that He will save His people from their sins, or the Salvation of YHVH.

Through these facts and the commandments given in Exodus 20: 3 – 11, YHVH ensured that His people understood the importance of His name in worshipping Him. If our proclamation that Yahshua is YHVH in the flesh is an offense to Jews and non-Jews, then it will have to be the scandal that Yahshua said it would be in Matthew 21: 42 – 44, as follows: “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone; THIS CAME ABOUT FROM YHVH, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES’? (43) Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of Elohim will be taken away from you, and be given to a nation producing the fruit of it. (44) And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust.” Elohim has truly gone to extremes to make His name and deeds known to us. Even the Psalms attest to the fact the YHVH became our salvation, as in Psalm 118: 21 – 26 in this way: ‘I shall give thanks to Thee, for thou hast answered me; and Thou hast become my salvation. (22) The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief corner stone. (23) This is (YHVH)’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. (24) This is the day which YHVH has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. (25) O YHVH, do save, we beseech Thee; O YHVH, we beseech Thee, do send prosperity! (26) Blessed is the one who comes in the name of YHVH; we have blessed you from the house of YHVH.’

We are told in 1 Timothy 3: 8 & 9 that a major qualification of those who serve as deacons in the congregation, is to believe or hold to the mystery of the (our) faith with a clear conscience. So what is the mystery of our faith (or godliness)? We conclude by reading the answer from 1 Timothy 3: 16 (KJV); ‘And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: G-d (Elohim) was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.’ Continuing in 1 Timothy 4: 1, 2 & 10 (NASB), Rav Shaul writes: ‘But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, (2) by means of hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron. (10) For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living Elohim, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.’ We also read fittingly from Deuteronomy 32: 15, “But Jeshurun (Israel) grew fat and kicked—you are grown fat, thick and sleek—then he forsook Elohim who made him, and scorned the Rock of his salvation.” Yahshua is not another YHVH: He was only a small portion of the One YHVH that was manifested in the flesh, the purpose of which was that He the Creator of Mankind could be their kinsman redeemer – He died for the sins of mankind and to be able to remarry His bride Israel, whom He divorced because of her adultery with the pagan gods of this world. Only the life of YHVH is worth more than the lives of all mankind together – so only He could redeem us from the second death. Those parts of the Infinite Elohim that YHVH desired to "border" in order to make it understandable to our finite minds, He did so in the form of parts of Himself becoming "visible" to man in the personage of Yahshua. He did not put all of Himself within the borders of Yahshua, as that is impossible to place infinity within something finite. We know that all Jews are Israelites, but not all Israelites are Jews. Also all green beans are vegetables, but not all vegetables are green beans. YHVH "became" a man in Yahshua, but Yahshua did not "contain" all of what YHVH is…. Because YHVH cannot be contained within definable borders, as He is infinite.

Those of us from the lost ten tribes, called at this time by YHVH to return to Him, should not let the P’shat (or literal meaning) of the Scriptures get in our way of understanding the Oneness of Elohim, which YHVH our Elohim commanded Moses to teach in Deuteronomy 6: 4, in this way: “Hear, O Israel! YHVH is our Elohim, YHVH is one!”
