THE ETERNAL COVENANT WITH ISRAEL

 

God, Yehovah, makes a Covenant with the faithful Abram. Yehovah had chosen Him.

Bereshit/Genesis 12:1-3

Get out of your country; from your family and from your father's house, to a land which I show you.

2 And I shall make you a great nation, and barakh /bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a berakhah/blessing!

3 And I shall barakh those who barakh/bless you, and curse him who curses you. And in you all the families of the earth shall be barukh/blessed.

We noticed that Yehovah did not say: If you are good and your descendants are perfect. No, the  Covenant has no condition, for Yehovah knew they would not be always obedient, but He would deal with them accordingly.

Abram was childless, and was going to give his riches to his faithful servant, but it was not Yehovah's will and told Abram to offer a sacrifice and let us read about this account. 

(See Bereshit 15:1-6)

Bereshit/Genesis 15: 7-21

7 Then He said to him, "I am Yehovah (The LORD), who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it." 8 And he said, "Lord Ellohim(God), how shall I know that I will inherit it?"

 9 So He said to him, "Bring me a three year -old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."

10 Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, down the middle, and placed each piece opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds in two.

10 And when the vultures came down on the carasses, Abram drove them away.

12 Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him.

13 Then He said to Abram: "Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years.

14 And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions.

15 Now as for you, you shall go  to your fathers in peace: you shall be buried at a good old age.

16 But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete."

17 And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces.

18 On the same day Yehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying; "To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great rives, the  River Euphrates-

19 the Kenites, the Kadmonites, 

20 the Hittites, Perizzites, the Rephaim, 

21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgasites, and the Jebusites."

I know it is a long passage, but I cannot take verses out of context. You may have heard of the attack of the Palestinians terrorists on Israel. And this is not the first time! The Palestinians are not the receiver of the Covenant God, Yehovah, made with Abraham. If you did not know, now you know. They are settlers that came at a time Israel was not able to make them move. Israel has given them permission 

to stay, but they want the whole land of Israel, and this is always theri threat that they want Israel to go into the sea, and they reign there. Those Palestians  terrorists do not read the Scriptures. Yehovah has disciplined Israel and they went into Captivity because of their sin, but He fulfilled His Word to have them return to their home land. He has not given Israel a certificate of divorce, therefore He could bring them back to fulfill the Covenant with Abraham.

When Sarah could not wait on having a son, she gave Abram him her maid Hagar. 

You can read in Bereshit/Genesis 16. 

She conceived and gave birth to Ishmael, but he is not the promised son Yehovah gave to Abraham. Although Yehovah als blessed him greatly just because he was the son of Abraham.

Let us read now Yehovah again how He makes Covenant with Him and all his descendants for an everlasting Covenant.

Bereshit/Genesis 17: 1-8

When Abram was ninety-nine years old Yehovah appeared to Abram and said to him,"I am Almighty Elohim (God); walk before Me and be blameless. 

2 And I will make My Covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly."

3  Then Abram fell on his face, and Elohim (God) talked with him saying:

4 "As for Me, behold, My Covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.

5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.

6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.

7 And I will establish My Covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an EVERLASTING COVENANT, TO BE ELOHIM (GOD) TO YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS AFTER YOU.

8 ALSO I GIVE TO YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS AFTER YOU THE LAND IN WHICH YOU RE STRANGER, ALL THE LAND OF CANAAN, AS AND EVERLASTING POSSESSION; AND I WILL BE THEIR ELOHIM (GOD). "

 

Then in verses 9 and up Yehovah gave Abraham the Covenant sign,

which is the Circumcision.

Now let me say something to all the enemies of Israel,  Christians or Gentiles. You cannot fight Elohim. You are ignorant of His promises. He does not lie. He loves you too. But you cannot steal the land from Israel by killing them,  for if you do,  you are fighting against your Creator. You need to stop fighting the Covenant People that Elohim for He chose  Abraham. He chose him and made  His Covenant with him and it  is forever, and you are losing your time and are a  murderer terrorist. Palestinians repent and love your benefactors. Yehovah is blessing you by letting you stay in the land of Israel. Do not be foolish.

Stop what you are doing now, and continue to receive the blessings you have been receiving from Israel who gave you Gaza and the other land you are occupying which is legally Israel's. 

Stop fighting and give your life to the Redeemer whose name is Yehoshua. He came to die for you on the cross, and He did it to save you and all humanity from sin. 

You are sinning against God.

Do not let Satan lie to you anymore. Stop him by obeying the Scriptures. You are not serving Yehovah, but the devil. 

 

STOP NOW, AND BE SAVED. STOP  KILLING THE INNOCENT THINKING YOU ARE GOING TO GET THE RICHES OF ISRAEL. YOU  ARE DOING FOR YOUR FALSE GOD WHO WILL NOT SAVE YOU. SEEK THE TRUE GOD AND LIVE.

 

YOU ARE DECEIVED!!!!

 

YEHOVAH IS OUR GOD, AND HE  IS IN COVENANT WITH ISRAEL AND WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND. 

 

YOU WILL LOSE MANY LIVES IF YOU DO NOT CEASE MURDERING HIS PEOPLE. YOU ARE FIGHTING GOD ALMIGHTY,

EL SHADDAI. 

 

HE HAS FOUGHT FOR ISRAEL IN THE PAST, AND WILL ALWAYS FIGHT FOR THEM. 

 

BE AT PEACE AND STOP NOW. 

STOP NOW AND SEEK GOD ALMIGHTY AND HIS ONLY BEN/SON YEHOSHUA AND BE SAVED FROM THE  HATE YOU HAVE IN YOU. 

 

GOD LOVES YOU, BUT YOU CANNOT FIGHT HIM, HE IS BIGGER THAN YOUR HATE. CALL ON HIS NAME NOW AND BE SAVED. 

THE THIEF ON THE CROSS

THE THIEF ON THE CROSS ...

Please  read this message today, for it will help your faith.

Yehoshua was crucified for you and me. We actually are those who crucified HIM!  

"What? I was not even born yet, how could I have done this horrible crime? No way!" 

My beloved you and I have sinned and He was crucified to pay for our sin. If you and I did not sin, He would not have died. (See Yeshyahu/Isaiah  52:13-53-12). 

I suggest you begin to read the Scriptures from "Bereshit/Genesis to Chazon/Revelation and learn about Yehoshua being the Ben David prophesied Mashiach/Messiah.  I spoke at length about Him in many other blogs. Today I simply want to say what He said about Himself in some verses as it is recorded in the Scriptures. 

Mattityahu/Matthew 22:32

I am the Elohim/God of Avraham, the Elohim of Yitzchaq/Isaac, and the Elohim of Ya'aqov/Jacob. Elohim is not the Elohim of the dead, but of the living.``

 

We also read in 

 

Devarim/Deuteronomy 6:4

"Hear, O Israel: Yehovah Eloheinu is one."

Yehovah (the LORD,) Yehovah our God is one.'

Yehoshua is not another God, He is the God of Avraham, Yitzchaq and Ya'aqov.

Yehovah became Man by taking flesh on, in order to destroy the power of Satan. Mashiach, called Christ, or Jesus Christ, died to save us from our sins. He is not a third God, but a manifestation of our God and Father in Heaven. Do not think otherwise. Yehovah appeared to Avraham/Abraham as we read in Bereshit/Genesis 18, and appeared to Gideon's parents and so forth. He is called the Triune God for this reason. He is Spirit.

Yochanan/John 4:24

"Elohim/God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship  in spirit and truth."

He has agreed that He is the expected Mashiah/Messiah

Yochanan 4:26 

"I who speak to you, am He.

Yochanan 8:58

"Most assuredly , I say to you, before Abrahan was, I AM."

There is no dispute He claimed He was God, and He was, and still is, which He proved with the Resurrection as you may want to read later on in His Word.

All three gospels declare His resurrection. 

But today I must speak on our participation in His crucifixion. We have killed Him, not the Jews alone who did the actual work as it was prophesied. He died for their sins too.  It was your sin and mine, and all humanity, who killed Him and suffered so much, as no other man who was crucified  ever suffered. 

His pain was unbearable.

Let me show you what we did to Him.

We betrayed Him with a kiss.

Judas, one of His apostles, did it for us.

Luke 22: 48

But Yehoshua said to him,

"Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"

 

Yehoshua was arrested and eventually faced the Sanhedrin.

They challenged  Him to say that He was the Mashiach/Christ . He did not deny it.

Luqas/Luke 22: 67-71

"If I tell you, you will by no means believe. And if I also ask you, you will by no means answer Me or let Me go" Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God."

Then they all said, "Are You then the Son of God.?" So He said to them,

Luqas/Luke 22: 70-71

"You rightly say that I am." And they said, "What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth."

Then they all said, "Are you then the Son of God?"

So He said to them, 'You rightly say that I am."

Please read all of the pages in the Bible that speaks of His death, and  of His resurrection.  You will find there that 

you and I spit His Face, we slapped Him, we mocked Him, we beated Him and did all things that you and I would not even do on a dog. We hated Him,  who is our God Savior, Redeemer, King, Almighty God

(See Yeshayahu/Isaiah 9:6),

 We crucified Him and placed Him between two thieves. 

(Humans love dogs, and all animals whom God created, as has also created each of us, but we hate Him.  

Yes, we hate Him each time we sin.

Many people do it in ignorance.

Yehoshua prayed while on the cross.

Luqas/Luke 23:34

"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do."

Only God could love as Yehoshua did, for He was and is God in the flesh. He was fully God, but did not use His power for He came to die as man to pay for our sins.

Yehoshua suffered so much, intense pain, yet He did it for you sinner, and did with intense infinite love. He was and is Elohim, and He gave us His own flesh Son to die to redeem us from our sins. While we were killing HIM, He prayed as a Man to the Father in Heaven, to forgive us. God is everywhere. His Spirit is here with us as He was with Yehoshua. He manifests Himself in three persons, but He is only ONE GOD. Let this be very clear in our minds.

 

So He is hanging on the cross now between two thieves.

Luqas/Luke 23-36-43

The  soldiers mocked Him, coming and offering Him sour wine, and saying,

"If you are the King of the Jews, save Yourself."

And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew."

THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, 

"If you are the Christ (Mashiach), save Yourself and us." But the other, answering ,rebuked Him saying,

"Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong."

Then he said to Yehoshua, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.

 And Yehoshua said to Him,

"Assuredly , I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."

Now is a good time to shout for joy. Yehoshua finished His work on the cross and could tell the repentant thief that today, not tomorrow or who knows when, but today, he would be with Him in Paradise. The thief  was forgiven on the spot. And Yehoshua could not have said this if He was not God Almighty. 

Having said this, Yehoshua spoke again.

Luqas/Luke 23:46

"Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit."

 Having said this, He breathed His last."

 He had fulfilled all the work the Father told Him to do, and He did it to the fullest. In His infinite Love and as a Man He came to suffer for you and Me.yWe indeed crucified Him, but He allowed it in order to atone our sins.

Today, you are like the thief on the cross, cry out to God  Yehoshua, and repent of your sin, for He is waiting on you to forgive you and to give you eternal life. He sees your heart, in your own words speak to Him.

Shalom
