What was nailed to the cross?

We all know that Yahshua our Messiah was nailed to an impalement stake and even though He was/is the embodiment of Torah, He did not remain there. According to Daniel’s prophecy in Daniel 9: 26 & 271 and in agreement with Leviticus 23: 12 & 132 He was cut off as the sacrificial and the grain offerings (or wave sheaf) in the middle of the week, to enable the reconciliation of the house of Israel to YHVH and the house of Judah, as Rav Shaul wrote in Ephesians 2: 11 – 19. Yahshua was put in the grave in the afternoon of the fourth day of the week, after He died as the Lamb of Elohim at the ninth hour since day break, meaning 3 o'clock in the afternoon and was buried before the annual Sabbath or the First Day of Unleavened Bread the next day, but was resurrected three days and three nights later on the weekly Sabbath afternoon, prior to sunset, just as He told the scribes and the Pharisees in Matthew 12: 39 & 40, saying: “An evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign; and yet no sign shall be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet; (40) for just as JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY OF THE SEA MONSTER, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” Yahshua came specifically to reconcile the lost sheep of the house of Israel back to firstly Brother Judah and then to the heavenly Father, in order to re-establish the kingdom of Elohim over the commonwealth of Israel at His return as King of Kings and Master of Masters.

Even though He laid down His life for His sheep (from the lost sheep of the house of Israel), He took it up again when He was resurrected, as He also explained to the Jews in John 10: 14 – 17, saying: “I am the good shepherd; and I know My own, and My own know Me, (15) even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. (16) 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. (17) For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.” Yahshua did not remain on the impalement stake, but was resurrected and ascended to heaven 40 days later, despite most in Christianity telling us that ‘the law has been nailed to the cross’, citing Colossians 2: 14 as evidence. But, let’s read this verse for ourselves in the KJV, as follows: ‘Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.’ Most people familiar with the English language understand that the word ‘ordinances’ involves verdicts or judgments and from studying the first five books of the Tanach known as Torah, we know that Torah consists of three component parts or elements, namely: commandments, statutes and judgments (or ordinances). Of these three elements, commandments are at a higher level, telling us for example not to commit adultery; whereas the statutes break each commandment down in more detail, describing that adultery includes marital relations with someone other than your spouse, but may also involve incest, homo-sexual activities and intercourse with animals which are abominations to YHVH our Elohim and finally judgments, telling us the punishment due to those who transgress the commandments and statutes.

Getting back to Colossians 2: 14 (quoted before), it is clear that something was nailed to the tree and taken out of the way. But what was nailed to the tree and taken away? Was it the law of YHVH given by the hand of Moses? Was Elohim’s Torah really nailed to a tree? Was the Law of YHVH abolished when Messiah died on the impalement stake? If we read Colossians 2: 14 again with understanding what I explained about the three component elements of Torah, we get to see that it was the ordinances that was against us, meaning the judgments or punishment due to us for breaking the commandments and statutes that was taken out of the way and nailed to the cross, and not the actual law or Torah. Reading Colossians 2: 13 & 14 from the New American Standard Bible (which I use in support of most of my sermons), we get to understand the subject a little better, as follows: ‘And when you were dead in you transgressions and the un-circumcision of your flesh, He (meaning Yahshua) made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, (14) having cancelled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees (meaning Judgments) against us and which was hostile to us (in fact some demanded that we be stoned to death); and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed (the certificate containing the judgments against us) to the cross.’ The problem with those who insist that Yahshua nailed the Torah to the cross, is that they never seem to read the verse that they put in question in context of what is written before and after it. Having read verse 13 we discovered that before we got to know Yahshua and His saving name, we were as good as dead, since the punishment against us were still in force and since some of us used to bow down before images of a man on a wooden cross wearing a thorn crown, or dishonored our parents, or did not keep the Sabbath, we were doomed according to Torah to be stoned to death, by the mouth of two or three witnesses. But by dying in our stead, Yahshua nailed the certificate of debt consisting of punishment against us for breaking Elohim’s commandments to the tree.

For the sake of clarity, lets also read verse 8 of Colossians 2, as follows: ‘See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception (like Christianity {or Rome} has taken the house of Israel captive for the past two thousand years), according to the tradition of men (such as Xmas, Easter and Sunday worship instituted by the Popes during the beginning of the 2000 years), according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Messiah.’ This is definitely not talking about the commandments of YHVH, but clearly states ‘according to the tradition of men’. The ‘elementary principles of the world’ has nothing to do with Elohim’s commandments, but with evil deeds as witnessed in Colossians 1: 21 & 22, in this way: ‘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 and blameless and beyond reproach.’ At this point we need to remember that the Jewish people were not estranged from the heavenly Father, but we from the lost ten tribes were and eventually we became like Gentiles to them and the Father. It was for this reason that Yahshua when He first sent out His disciples, instructed the twelve in 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.” But this is also the reason He told the scribes and Pharisees when they asked Him why He eats and drinks with tax-gatherers and sinners in Luke 5: 31 - 32, saying: “It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick. (32) I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” Yahshua came only for the lost sheep of the house of Israel and not for their Torah observant Jewish Brothers, as He confirmed in Matthew 15: 24, saying: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” The members of the lost ten tribes in Colossae had been forgiven their sins, by being immersed into Yahshua’s saving name, just as YHVH promised Abraham, that those children of Jacob who did not remain loyal to Him and were scattered into the world because of idolatry, were again given an opportunity to return to the covenant relationship with YHVH, through Abraham’s one seed, namely Yahshua.

All their trespasses have been washed away in immersion as explained in Hebrews 10: 223, Yahshua took the punishment due to the judgment part of Torah away for them, by dying in their but also in our stead. If the Law (or Torah) had been abolished when Yahshua died on the tree, then the members of the lost ten tribes in Colossae could not have sinned, because if there is no Law, there can be no transgression of the Law, as witnessed in Romans 4: 15, as follows: ‘For the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, neither is there violation.’ A second witness comes from first John 3: 4, in this way: ‘Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.’ The fact that Elohim’s Torah is still binding, is the fact that these Colossians needed to be immersed into Yahshua’s saving name. They had broken the commandments and by so doing had become sinners. But since they have been immersed, all their trespasses had been forgiven, as witnessed in Colossians 2: 12, as follows: ‘Having been buried with Him in immersion, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of Elohim, who raised Him from the dead.’ So, verse 14 is really saying that now that these members of the lost ten tribes in Colossae had accepted Messiah as their Redeemer and personal Passover, Elohim also passed over the sins they committed before, and set the punishment due to them aside. This refers to the decrees that was against us – so, the decrees of judgment against us was set aside and definitely not Torah, as we read clearly from Hebrews 10: 26 – 28, in this way: ‘For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, (27) but a certain terrifying expectation of judgment, and THE FURY OF FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES. (28) Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.’

No law or statute in the cities where you and I live has any force or power, unless there is also a penalty prescribed for transgressing a specific law. Let’s suppose I go to your city and whilst driving down the Main Street I exceed the speed limit clearly indicated on signboards next to the road. When I hear the siren behind me, I panic and try to get away at an even higher speed and even run a stop sign. When the traffic officer eventually catches up to me, I am booked for not obeying a traffic sign, speeding, running a stop sign and resisting arrest. This leaves me helpless, as there is nothing I can do to help myself and since I am a law breaker, I am locked up in jail. Fortunately, according to the same law, I have one free phone call and phone a friend asking him to come and help me. Obviously the friend has to bring some money to pay the penalties on my behalf, when I will be set free. After the penalty due is paid I am no longer a law breaker and the certificate of debt on the city’s books have been cleared and is no longer against me. However the law, including the ordinance or judgment for contravening the Law is still applicable to those who live in or visit the city. So thanks to Yahshua our Messiah and Savior we, who have been immersed in Yahshua’s saving name, are released from all the penalties for past sins by the blood of Messiah. Immersion into Yahshua’s name freed us from all sins and the ordinances against us no longer stand. This is why Rav Shaul wrote in Romans 6: 23, saying: ‘For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of Elohim is eternal life in Messiah Yahshua our Master.’ A second clearer witness is given by Rav Shaul in Romans 8: 1 - 4, saying: ‘There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Messiah Yahshua. (2) For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yahshua has set you free from the law of sin and of death. (3) For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, 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.’

YHVH gave ancient Israel the Torah which is holy, just, good and spiritual according to Romans 7: 12 – 16. Torah is the basis for all righteousness. As we know, none of us from the lost ten tribes used to keep these Laws perfectly, since we have forgotten the covenant we made with YHVH together with the house of Judah at Mount Sinai. It was also for this reason that YHVH eventually divorced the house of Israel and scattered us into the nations of the world. But thankful to YHVH our Elohim, He prophesied about our return to Him during these latter days as we read from Deuteronomy 4: 24 – 31, saying through Moses: “For YHVH your Elohim is a consuming fire, a jealous Elohim. (25) When you become the father of children and children’s children and have remained long in the land, and act corruptly, and make an idol in the form of anything, and do that which is evil in the sight of YHVH your Elohim so as to provoke Him to anger, (26) I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you shall surely perish quickly from the land where you are going over the Jordan to possess it. You shall not live long on it, but shall be utterly destroyed. (27) And YHVH will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among the nations, where YHVH shall drive you, (28) And there you will serve gods, the work of man’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell. (29) But from there you will seek YHVH your Elohim, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul. (30) When you are in distress and all these things have come upon you, in the latter days, you will return to YHVH your Elohim and listen to His voice. (31) For YHVH your Elohim is a compassionate Elohim; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them.”

Whilst we were captive and unable to free ourselves from the worst of all penalties, namely death, we were in the same position as these returnees from the lost ten tribes in Colossae. The curses and penalties due to us are listed in Deuteronomy 27: 15 – 26. We notice especially the last one in verse 26, as follows: ‘Cursed is he who does not confirm the words of this law by doing them.’ But, because of Elohim’s love and promises to us through our forefathers, we have a Savior, who came to rescue us by paying the penalty due to us on the impalement stake. However, this does nothing for us, unless we accept His offer of help. That is the only way we are able to escape being imprisoned. This freedom from the death penalty does not do away with Torah, or even with the penalties of the Law, but as shown in our example earlier, their power over us has been cancelled. Rav Shaul asked the question in Romans 3: 31, saying: ‘Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.’ In fact Rav Shaul, who wrote this, is the same apostle who wrote Colossians 2: 14. Is it therefore reasonable to believe that Rav Shaul who wrote to these Roman believers around 60CE that the law was more firmly established at that time than four years earlier, when Churchianity believes that it had been abolished? Surely not, therefore it is clear that Colossians 2: 14 has been misunderstood by Churchianity ever since. We see from Psalm 119: 151, 152 and 160 that other writers who were inspired by YHVH to contribute to the Scriptures we have available to us today, agreed with Rav Shaul that the Law of Elohim endures forever, by saying: “Thou are near, O YHVH, and all Thy commandments are truth. (152) Of old I have known from Thy testimonies, that Thou hast founded them forever. (160) The sum of Thy word is truth, and every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting.” It was not the ordinances of the Law that passed away, nor have they been abolished, but we have been set free from sin and its penalty by Yahshua’s sacrifice as the Lamb of Elohim, who takes away the sins of the world.

Let’s at this point consider the rest of the verses in Colossians 2 used by Christianity to try and prove to themselves that Torah and its commanded observances, such as the Sabbath, the Feast Days of Elohim and the kosher food laws are abolished, but which are even now applicable to Israelites whom YHVH is busy calling out of the churches of the world, to return to Him and His way of life and will eventually lead to eternal life. Commencing in Colossians 2: 16 Rav Shaul wrote: ‘Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect of a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day –‘ Those who suppose that this verse condemns anyone for observing Elohim’s Sabbaths, Feast Days and food laws as commanded in Leviticus 23 and 11, does not understand that Rav Shaul is in fact saying just the opposite, since we as returning Israelites, like those in Colossae who are again obeying these commandments, should not concern ourselves with what those outside the true faith are saying about us. The KJV reads: “Let no man judge you…” in your observances. The Greek word for judge is transliterated ‘krino’ and can be translated as condemn, as used in John 3: 17, 18 and Romans 14: 22. The word ‘krino’ is also used by Yahshua in Matthew 7: 1, saying: “Do not judge lest you be judged.” The obvious meaning is, ‘do not condemn, so that you be not condemned.’ Therefore Colossians 2: 16 could also be read in this way: ‘Let no man condemn you in regards to food or drink or in respect of a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day.’ Continuing in verse 17 we read: ‘things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Messiah.’ We who are keeping the Sabbath, new moons and Feast Days of Elohim know they are shadows of what is to come in the near future. However, this is the opposite view of Churchianity in general, who believes shadows are things that are passing away. Yes, Churchianity believe that the Sabbath, new moons and Feast days of Elohim, are shadows of things that passed away and were replaced by Xmas, Easter and Sunday worship. But this is the exact opposite of what Rav Shaul intended with verses 16 & 17 of Colossians 2.

True believers should continue to keep the Feast Days of Elohim, as they depict Elohim’s plan of salvation for all mankind, and give us exact details of the date when Messiah will return one day in the near future to come and rule the commonwealth of Israel and ultimately the world, from Jerusalem. Being a minority among those in Colossae who still worship idols, true believers needed encouragement to continue observing Elohim’s Sabbaths and obeying His food laws. It was only natural that true believers in Colossae felt strongly the disapproval of the people around them. But let’s also consider other Renewed Covenant Scriptures in support of keeping the Sabbaths and Feast Days of Elohim, as commanded in Leviticus 23 and Deuteronomy 16, to show the members of the lost ten tribes of Israel still held in captivity by Esau that Messiah’s disciples who became apostles after He ascended to heaven continued to obey Torah. We start by quoting Rav Shaul where he taught in first Corinthians 11: 1 & 23, saying: ‘Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Messiah. (23) For I received from the Master that which I also delivered to you, that the Master Yahshua in the night in which He was betrayed took bread;” Rav Shaul was referring to the annual Passover, which we keep as a memorial of Messiah’s death, until He returns one day. As a memorial, it should be observed at the same time Messiah observed it, during the evening of the 14th of Nissan (also known as Aviv meaning springtime). Since we acknowledge Messiah as Elohim’s Passover Lamb, we partake of the Passover in memory of Him, as we read from verses 24 – 26 of first Corinthians 11, as follows: ‘And when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” (25) In the same way He took the cup also, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” (26) For as often (meaning every year) as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Master’s death until He comes.’

But, what about the other Feast Days of Elohim, listed and commanded to be kept in Leviticus 23? We read about the Feast of Unleavened Bread immediately following the annual Passover from first Corinthians 5: 7 & 8, in this way: ‘Clean out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Messiah our Passover also has been sacrificed. (8) Let us therefore celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.’ According to Leviticus 23: 6, the first annual Sabbath of the year or the First Day of Unleavened Bread starts on the 15th of the first month Nissan, the Sabbath from after which we count the Omer and also mentioned in John 19: 31 as a ‘high day’. Since this feast on the Hebrew calendar is on a specified day, it can fall on any day of the week. When Messiah died in the middle of the week on the 14th of Nissan in 31CE, the First Day of Unleavened (also referred to as the first annual Sabbath of the year) occurred on a Thursday. It is because Churchianity do not keep the Feast Days of Elohim any longer, that they misunderstood the word Sabbath used in John 19: 31 as being the weekly Sabbath, that they believe Messiah was impaled on a Friday and resurrected on a Sunday morning. They get the Sunday morning wrong, because they do not understand that in the Hebrew way of counting days, any day starts with an evening followed by a morning. So, when the two Miriam’s came to Messiah’s grave after the Sabbath, on erev Yom Rishon it was already the first day of the week (known as Saturday evening by Churchianity, but as erev Yom Rishon or Sunday evening according to the Tanach). This might be confusing to non-Nazarene believers in Messiah, but it makes perfect sense to us. It is evident from Rav Shaul’s writings that these festivals, namely Passover (on the 14th of Nissan) and the Feast of Unleavened Bread (the 15th to the 21st of Nissan) are to be observed today, just as they were in Corinth.

Next, we read from Acts 20: 6 how Rav Shaul and the believers at Philippi kept the days of Unleavened Bread, as follows: ‘And we sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Traos within five days; and there we stayed seven days.’ Keeping the days of Unleavened Bread certainly indicates that they also kept the Passover. After Yahshua’s resurrection and ascension to heaven, we first notice believers observing the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost in Acts 2: 1, in this way: ‘And when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.’ The KJV reads: ‘And when the day of Pentecost were fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.’ For those who insist that the Omer is counted from the Day after the weekly Sabbath instead of the day after the first annual Sabbath or The First Day of Unleavened Bread, this clearly shows that there was no argument regarding the timing of when the day of Pentecost should be kept. We see from Acts 20: 16 that this first Pentecost after Messiah’s ascension to heaven was not the last Pentecost that the congregation of YHVH kept, as follows: ‘For Shaul had decided to sail past Ephesus in order that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost.’ On that occasion Rav Shaul hastened back to Jerusalem to keep Pentecost, as witnessed in Acts 24: 11. Later Rav Shaul again wrote to the believers in Corinth, revealing his plans to remain in Ephesus, another Gentile city, until Pentecost, in first Corinthians 16: 8 & 9, saying: ‘But I shall remain in Ephesus until Pentecost; (9) for a wide door for effective service has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.’ But mention is also made of the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) on which all Israel is supposed the fast, in Acts 27: 9, in this way: ‘And when considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Rav Shaul began to admonish them.’

Yahshua the Messiah clearly testified that He did not come to abolish the Law and the Prophets, or to make it void. Instead He indicated that whoever does and teaches the law will be great in the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 5: 17 – 19). Students of Messiah who regularly study the Scriptures are aware that the heavenly Father (YHVH) severely punished His people Israel for not obeying His commandments. The common view is that He abandoned Israel, His beloved son (as per Exodus 4: 22) and then adopted a son of a stranger, a Gentile son. It is believed that He does not require His adopted son to obey His commandments: the very laws Israel failed to keep, and for which He divorced them. Even this idea is totally false, because YHVH Himself tells us through the Prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 56: 6 – 8, saying: “Also the foreigners who join themselves to YHVH, to minister to Him, and to love the name of YHVH, to be His servants, every one who keeps from profaning the Sabbath, and holds fast My covenant; (7) Even those I will bring to My holy mountain (meaning Elohim’s government), and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar; for My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.” (8) YHVH Elohim, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares, “Yet others I will gather to them, to those already gathered.” But, because Churchianity does not read or believe in the Tanach, they do not regard any message from the Tanach to be applicable to them any longer. Why should YHVH disown Israel for disobeying His law, if He planned to abolish the Law anyway? Why be hard on His own people, and soft on the adopted children? We need to understand that YHVH is more consistent than that. We see from Psalm 111: 7 – 9, that His Law is everlasting, in this way: ‘The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are sure. (8) They are upheld forever and ever; they are performed in truth and uprightness. (9) He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; holy and awesome is His name.’

In fact we see from John 5 : 43 – 47 that Yahshua Himself said that those who say they believe in Him, but believe that Torah is not necessary for them any longer, are in fact strangers to the truth, as follows: “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, 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?” Now, many in Churchianity believe that Yahshua was addressing this only to the Jews. However, the Renewed Covenant was like Yahshua, only aimed to bring the lost sheep of the house of Israel back to the covenant we made with YHVH together with the house of Judah. Yes, the Renewed Covenant is primarily addressed at us, but if we are to blind to understand that, we will never learn anything from what Yahshua addressed mainly to us. Rav Shaul and the other apostles did not encourage returning Israelites or real Gentiles, who returned to YHVH through Messiah to abandon the Torah teachings of Elohim. Instead they instructed them to become more Torah observant all the time. If Rav Shaul or the other apostles changed the Sabbath to Sunday as many believe today, why did He not say so clearly, but we learnt from various accounts in the book of Acts that he continued to keep the Sabbath day; examples being in Acts 13: 14; Acts 15: 21; Acts 16: 13 and Acts 24: 14. The assemblies of Asia-Minor (where Rav Shaul and Rav Yochanan preached) continued to observe the Sabbath and annual Feast Days of Elohim, according to the Hebrew calendar. For hundreds of years the Roman Catholic Church tried to crush these despised true believers in Messiah, but did clearly not succeed, since there are even today, a number of us who keep the commandments of Elohim and our faith in Yahshua. The Renewed Covenant does not abolish any of Elohim’s Set-apart Days or food laws in any way. Yahshua and His disciples taught that Elohim’s laws will never be abolished, since it is Spiritual and therefore eternal. In fact this is confirmed for us in Hebrew 4: 9, as follows: ‘There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of Elohim.’ Can those who refuse to keep the Sabbath, be Elohim’s people? Who instituted Sunday worship – the Pope will immediately acknowledge responsibility for that, if you care to look it up in search engines like ‘google’. Since It is our duty at the time of the annual Passover to get rid of false doctrines, let’s think about it but also do so!

1 Daniel 9: 26 & 27: “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. 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 offering; and on the wing of abominations will come who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”

2 Leviticus 23:12 & 13: “Now on the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb one year old without defect for a burnt offering to YHVH. Its grain offering shall then be two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering by fire to YHVH for a soothing aroma, with its libation, a fourth of a hin of wine.”

3 Hebrews 10: 22, ‘Let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water,’
