THE ANOINTED ONE

After Yeshua or Yehoshua was baptized on the Yarden River, He was led into the wilderness.

My friends please continue reading in the Jewish book called Brit Chadashah, which is called New Testament in English the next verses. From verse 3 to 12 you will read about Satan who went to tempt Yehoshua the Ben Elohim, in order to make Him sin.  But He did not.  Now we continue with this message.

We read in my previous message in Sefer Mikhah/Micah 5:2 of the prophecy of Yehoshua’s birth. Indeed He was born in Beyth Lechem/Bethlehem, but grew up in Natsareth/Nazareth.

Yehoshua’s Birth in Beyth Lechem

Luqas/Luke2:4-7 And Yoseph also went up from Galil, out of the city of Natsareth to Yahudah, to the city of Dawid, which is called Beyth Lechem, because he was of the house and lineage of Dawid, to be registered with Miryam, who was engaged to him-being pregnant. And it came to be, that while they were there, the days were filled for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her first-born Ben, and wrapped Him up, and laid Him down in a feeding through, because there was no room for them in a lodging place.

Yeshua was actually born in the Manger used to keep the new born lambs that would be used for the Pesach/Passover sacrifice. That year the true Sacrifice Lamb had been born. And the angels announced it to the shepherds. This was a symbolic act, for the True Shepherd had been born.  I will speak more on this later on. (See Luqas 2:8-14).

After the Immersion in the Yarden…

Luqas/Luke 4: 1-2 And Yehoshua, being filled with the Ruach ha’Qodesh, returned from the Yarden and was led by the Ruach into the wilderness, being tried for forty days by the devil. And in those days He did not eat at all, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.

Yeshayahu prophesied of Him.

Yeshayahu/Isaiah 61:1-2a “The Ruach of Adon is upon Me, because Yehovah has anointed Me to bring good news to the meek. He has sent Me to bind up the broken –hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of Yehovah.

This is a prophecy that the Jewish prophet gave concerning the coming Yeshua, the Anointed Mashiach.

It was fulfilled 2000 years ago in Israel.

Luqas 4:14-18 -21And Yehoshua returned in the power of the Ruach to Galil, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding country. 15 And He came to Natsareth, where He had been brought up. And according to His practice, He went into the congregation on the Shabbat day, and stood up to read. And the scroll of the navi Yeshayahu was handed to Him. And having unrolled the scroll, he found the place where it was written: “The Ruach of Yehovah is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to bring the Good News to the Poor. He has sent Me to heal the broken –hearted, to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send away crushed ones with a released, to proclaim the acceptable year of Yehovah.”

Then having rolled up the scroll, He gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the congregation were fixed upon Him. And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been filled in your hearing.”

That day His ministry began.

He began to preach and they listened intently. Yehoshua was Man and Elohim at the same time. He had to come to this earth to reveal the Father to us and came first of all to the lost sheep of Israel. The lamb sacrifices and all sacrifices would end with Him. Israel needed saving and Yehovah sent His only Ben to fulfill that need.

Mattithyahu/Matthew 15:24 and He answering, said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Yisra’el.”

Yehoshua fed the multitudes and healed the lepers and all sick people because of His compassion.

He was preaching to a crowd and was concerned about their health. He had compassion.

Mattithyahu/Matthew 15:32-38 And Yehoshua, having called His talmidim/disciples near, said, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have now continued with Me three days and do not have whatever to eat. And I do not want to send them away.” 33 And His talmidim said to him, “Where are we to get enough bread in the desert to satisfy such a large crowd?” 34 And Yehoshua said to them, “How many loaves do you have? “And they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”

35 And He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground, 36 and taking the seven loaves and the fish, giving thanks, He broke them and gave to His talmidim, and the talmidim to the crowd. 37And all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces-seven large baskets, filled. 38 And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

He did it one more time later and fed 5000

Kepha asked Yehoshua how often we must forgive our brother?

Mattithyahu 18:21, 27 Then Kepha came to Him and said, Adonai, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive Him? Up to seven  times?”

22 Yehoshua said to him, I”I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. 23 Because of this the reign of the shamayim is like a certain man, a sovereign who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 And when he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talanton, 25 But as he was unable to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had , and payment to be made. 26 Then the servant fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I shall pay you all.’ 27”And the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.”

This servant went to a person who owed him, much less money, but he had him put in prison. Verses 28-30. When the master heard about this he called him.

32 “Then his master called him and said to him, ‘Wicked servant I forgave you all that debt seeing you begged me. 33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, as I also had compassion on you?”  34 And his master was wroth, and delivered him to the torturers until he would pay all that was due to him. 35 “So also My Father of the Shamayim shall do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”

And thought about our Father in Heaven who is full of compassion. He forgives us our trespasses now if we repent. But we also must forgive those who offend us. No one is allowed in the Shamayim with sin. Unforgiveness will keep anyone out of the Shamayim/Heaven. Yeshua’s ministry was for the whole man, body, soul, and spirit.

Yehoshua healed the lepers.

Mattithyahu 8:2-4  And see a leper came, and bowed before Him, saying, “Adonai, if You desire, You are able to make me clean.” And stretching out His hand Yehoshua touched him, saying, “I desire it. Be cleansed!” and immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Yehoshua said to him, “See, mention it to no one. But go your way, show yourself to the kohen (priest) an offer the gift that Mosheh commanded, as a witness to them.”

He taught the people to keep the Commandments and all teachings from Mosheh, for they were not really from him, but from Yehovah. He never broke the Torah.

He also commanded the talmidim to heal the lepers.

Mattithyahu 10:1, 8 And having called His twelve talmidim near, He gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every bodily weakness. 8 “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. You have received without paying, give without being paid.

(I wish this would be obeyed by some modern talmidim!) The leprosy was a skin affliction called collectively Tzara’at. Sin was the root of this affliction. This is the reason they had to go to the priest. Those afflicted had to be removed from the congregation. They needed to repent to Yehovah, and He would heal them. But Yehoshua  came with the power of the Father to heal all sickness  immediately. He was Yehovah in the flesh, our Mashiach.

I will stop today, but will continue on my next message.

Please be dependent on Yehovah alone  and obey Him. Study His Torah  and find what is missing in your life. He is the only One who can make you feel complete. If you have doubts, please ask Yehovah one question; Ask Him  if Yehoshua is the True Mashiach, and He will affirm to you that He is indeed is your expected Mashiach! Read the book “Brit Chadashah” or New Testament without fear, for it is a Jewish Book written by Jewish brothers for you and me. And you shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free.

Shalom
