TO THE JEW FIRST

I have not been obeying the Word of Yehovah in my blogs; therefore I will today do what He has Commanded us: To the Jew first.  I apologize to my brethren for not taking the time to do this message until today. I pray you will be blessed, and receive the Word, as it is the Word of Yehovah, your Elohim. 

Romiyim/Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Mashiach, for it is the power of Elohim to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of Elohim is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written “The Just shall live by faith.”

Let us read some verses of Scriptures in the Tanak and in the Brit Chadashah, so called New Testament.

Mikhah/Micah 5:2 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Yehudah (Judah), Yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.

Yeshayahu/Isaiah 7:14 Therefore Yehovah Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel.  

Fulfilled

Luqas 1: 26, 28-32-33

 26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by Elohim to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Yoseph, of the house of David. The virgin name was Miryam 28 And having come in the angel said to her; “Rejoice, highly favored one, Yehovah is with you; blessed are you among women!” 29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.  30 then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Miryam, for you have found favor with Yehovah. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Ben (Son), and shall call His name Yeshua. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Ben of the Highest; and Yehovah will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Ya’aqov (Jacob) forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

Yehovah fulfilled
The angel continued to speak to Miryam.
35 " The Ruach haQodesh will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Ben of Elohim. 36 Now indeed Elisheva/Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. 37 For with Elohim nothing will be impossible."
 Next Miryam visits Elisheva
41 And it happened, when Elisheva heard the greeting of Miryam, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisheva was filled with the Ruach haQodesh. 42 Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, "Barukh are you among women, and barukh is the fruit of your womb! But why is this granted to me, that the mother of Adonai should come to me? 44 For look, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. 45 Barukh is she who believed, for that which Yehovah has said to her shall be accomplished! "

The  next verses from 46 to 55 are the words of Miryam. You should read them.

 
 Luqas/Lucas 1,2:4,5,7 And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.  2 This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. 3 so all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. 4 Yoseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Miryam, his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Ben (Son), and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

You should continue to read this chapter and learn that the angels announced the birth of our Mashiach to the Shepherd. And they visited Him.

Yehoshua was not born December 25, which is a lie. This day is dedicated to all sun gods birthdays.

Yeshua was born, according to the records, the day of the first biblical month, before the Pesach. The shepherds were there at night because they were watching for the Pesach Lamb that would be born. They found Yeshua at the shelter where they would place the special perfect lamb. That year, which is believed to be 6 AD, the Perfect Lamb was born, and the Shepherds saw Him. Jonathan Cahn has an article on YouTube concerning this event.

This once born to Miryam was no other than our Mashiach.

Tehillim/Psalm 2: 6-12 I will declare the decree; Yehovah has said to Me, ‘You are My Ben (Son), today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.” 

Now therefore, be wise, O kings; be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve Yehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Ben (Son) lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Barukh are all those who put their trust in Him.

This portion of Scriptures will be fulfilled when He return to us, very soon, to destroy our enemies. The reason I wrote these verses is to show that Yehovah has sent His Ben, Yehovah  who became Man in Yehoshua or Yeshua.

Mishley/Proverbs 30:4 Who has ascended into Heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Ben’s (Son’s) name if you know?

He was Immersed to fulfill all righteousness.

Mattithyahu/Matthew 3:16 When He had been Baptized (immersed), Yeshua came up immediately from the water; and behold, the Heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Ruach haQodesh descending like a Yonah (dove) and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Ben (Son), in whom I am well pleased.”

Now His Father Yehovah acknowledge Yeshua to be His Ben

We know His Name for the angel has given Him the Name, His name is not Jesus, but He has the Hebrew name Yehoshua, for He was born to a Jewish Family, and is descendant of King David. He was born in Bethlehem, in the place prophesied by the prophets. He is our Jewish Mashiach.

Yehoshua means Yehovah Saves, or Yehovah is salvation. The contracted form of Yehoshua is Yeshua which means Salvation.  He came with the Name of the Father. 

Yochanan/John 5:43 “I have come in My Father’s Name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in His own name, him you will receive. How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only Elohim?  Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you-Mosheh, in whom you trust. For if you believed Mosheh, you would believe Me; for he wrote of Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?” 

Next: Mosheh's words.

Devarim/Deuteronomy 18:15 "Yehovah your Elohim shall raise up for you a Navi like me from your midst, from your brothers. Listen to Him."

But on His first visit He came to save the lost sheep of Yisra'el. I will  give more information on my next message. For today let us meditate on the following passage.

Yeshayahu/Isaiah 9:7

 Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of Yehovah of hosts will perform this.

This prophecy will be fulfilled at His second coming.

I will continue on this subject on my next  message.

Meditate on these verses, and realize the reason you, beloved Jewish brother or sister, it is because are missing a vital relationship with your Creator. You may be feeling depressed, discouraged, you may be considering suicide. Do not go that route, begin today to seek Your Creator, Yehovah, and forsake all other gods.

Meditate on these two verses for today.

Yeshayahu/Isaiah 53:4-5 Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by Elohim, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and Yehovah has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. 

Shalom

TRIUMPHAL ENTRY

Today is Passover eve. I was thinking on the day Yehoshua[i] went to the Mount of Olives and was received with joy.

Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Yeshua sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her.  Loose them and bring them to Me. And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, “Adonai[ii] has need of them.” All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken b y the prophet, saying: ‘Tell the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, Lowly, and sitting on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey.” Mattithyahu[iii] 21:1-4

“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey.”Zekharyah 9:9

Yeshua was fulfilling prophecy. Yehovah[iv] told us what to expect from our Mashiach.[v]

The disciples did what He commanded them to do and they brought the animals to him to sit on.

“So the disciples went and did as Yeshua commanded them. They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them. And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out saying:

“Hosanna to the Son of David!  Blessed is He who comes in the Name of Yehovah! Hosanna in the highest! Mattithyahu 21:6-9

This took place necessarily so on the Sabbath, for Yeshua always went to the Temple on the Sabbath, not on the first day of the week, which Sunday. This is another misconception or rather false teaching to make Yehoshua been raised on a Sunday, the worship day of the sun. The Scriptures does not say which week day this happened. Either Mark 11; Luke 19:28;

The Gospel of Yochanan does not say that it was Sunday.  In chapter 12 it is written that six days before Passover Yeshua went to see Lazarus whom He raised from the dead. Then we read In Yochanan 12:12 “The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast…”  That cannot be Sunday, for Yeshua was going as the Lamb of the Sacrifice the tenth day of the first Month, and does not say which day of the week. Four days the Lamb had to chosen and kept at the family home and be inspected because had to be blames. (See Shemoth[vi] 12:3-6). Yeshua was fulfilling the type and shadow of the first Passover. The lamb had to be blameless, and inspected four days. Then killed and the blood applied (Shemot12-7).

We know Yeshua was born of the Spirit of Yehovah; He is Yehovah in flesh and blood. He was always sinless, the perfect Lamb to be sacrificed.

“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of Elohim in Him.” Qorin’tiyim 2/2 Corinthians5:21

Yeshua said the following “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law of Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.” Mattithyahu 5:17

Yeshua always worship in the temple on the Sabbath, and so did this day. It was not Sunday, for He never changed the Sabbath to Sunday. He always fulfilled the Law, or better said –Torah.  Who changed the Sabbath to Sunday is the Catholic Church and they are very proud about it. They feel they have the right to change the Commandments.

Now He came into the Temple and cleansed the Temple. He could not do that on the Sunday. Anyway, we know it was four days before Passover on the 14^th day of the first Biblical Month, (See Shemot 12:2) which now is called Nissan. But Yehovah did not give names to days and month, He only said, first day, day one, second day etc. and so forth.

This then was the Sabbath, and the 14^th day, was a Wednesday, just as it is this year, 2020. April 8 is Passover.  Three days later rose from the dead, which was a Saturday, and not Sunday. From the day He rose from the dead we count the Omer for 49 days. The following day is the 50^th day, which is Shavuot/Pentecost and is also called the Feast of Weeks. This feast was fulfilled by sending the Ruach haQodesh[vii].

I urge everyone not to make Yeshua a liar, by making Him die on Friday, and rise Sunday. Please, know one thing, Yeshua, or Yehoshua, could not lie and be our Savior. He prophesied that He would be three days and three nights buried.

When the Pharisees questioned Yehoshua, He answered them, “And evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sing of the prophet Yonah (Jonah/dove). For as Yonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man  be three days and there nights in the heart of the earth.”Mattithyahu12:39.

There also another sign about Yonah, or Dove in English.

Then Yeshua came from Galilee to Yochanan at the Yarden (Jordan) to be baptized by him. And Yochanan tried to prevent Him, saying, ‘I need to be baptized by You. And are you coming to me? But Yeshua answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he allowed Him.” When He had been baptized (immersed), Yeshua came up immediately from the water; and behold, the Heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of Elohim descending like a Yonah (dove) and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from Heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”Mattithyahu 3:13-17

Please also see Marqos/Mark 1:10

“When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Yeshua was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove (Yonah in Hebrew) came upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.” Luqas/Luke 3:21-22

Why do you think that Baptism is a type of death and resurrection? Yehoshua did this Immersion not because He was a sinner, but He did it for us to see. After His death the disciples knew what it was all about it. Yonah or Jonah in English was buried in the bottom of the sea for three days and three nights. The Teaching that the churches follow on Good Friday is perversion of the truth. He died the 14^th day or four days after He went into the House of the Father until He would become our Sacrifice for our sins. He is the only One who could die for us. He was without sin. Now if you do not know Him as your Passover Lamb, receive Him today.

“Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by Elohim, and afflicted. But He was wounded for ou8r transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and Yehovah has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” Yeshayahu[viii] 53:4-6

Yochanan also recognized Him to be the Lamb of Elohim.

Behold the Lamb of Elohim, who takes away the sins of the world.”Yochanan1:29.

And I have seen and testified that this is the Ben Elohim (Son of God).Yochanan 1: 34

He was the priest and had to be the one to introduce Him to the brethren and all of us.

Now is the time to return to obey His Word, and stop following the traditions of men. Let us also forgive those who changed the Word to accommodate their religion. Let us walk in love and manifest the Love of Our Father In Heaven, but by all means speak truth and obey Truth. Shalom.
