Jewish History and Texts
The perspective of these writings is that Jesus or 'Yeshua'in Hebrew, is only truly understood in the context of Mosaic Judah of the 1st Century and the Forefathers.
The very word 'church'(from Greek, ekklesia-the gathering or assembly) goes back to the Hebrew word for 'gathering'(miqra,4744) which are the 7 feasts of God found in Leviticus, the 'INGATHERINGS'.
The 7 'churches' or 7 'ingatherings' are only understood if you know the teachings of Jesus in the book of Revelation. YES>>>these feasts are alluded to in the book of Revelation as I will document in the coming pages.
These 7 ingatherings found in Leviticus ARE the 7 'churches'.
And then, only the overcomers in the gatherings will be received, as He warned in parable and prophecy.
The 'church' is 7 particular dates with judgement, the appointments of God with mankind. It is not a building, organization or any other thing. It is 'ingathering' for the 7 feasts of the LORD.
Those who 'overcome' at time of the 'ingatherings' are the peacemakers, the poor who depend on God daily, the mourners who call on God, the people who seek for righteousness.....the very people Jesus cut the covenant with at the sermon on the mount (Matthew 5, Luke 6)
We must change our thinking. The so-called 'church' of Roman origin, is not the 'church' at all. Even the context of the doesn't match the original teachings of the Forefathers or of Jesus.
In reality, there is no INGATHERING without the feasts and the none of the western 'church' are aware of this fact, because they have long abandon Yeshua, the Rabbi of Nazareth in favor of another teacher.
On account of such behaviour, the wrath of God will come upon those who are not 'overcomers'. Because they dont' believe Jesus words, they pander to them, but basically ignore what He is clearly saying:
Speaking of the Spirit of truth, Jesus said: "And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Of sin, BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE ME NOT;
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. JOhn 16:8-11"
The Way is TORAH. HE spilled his own blood to preserve TORAH, to do all righteousness, to accomplish the task laid down by the law and the prophets. If the Torah was evil, he would not have obeyed it to the letter. Neither would Jesus have said, 'Not one jot or tittle will be removed from the Law and the Prophets till all is fulfilled.'
Jesus, who is the personification of SALVATION of Yahweh, comes OUT OF TORAH, not casting it away, but by the use of it's provision to preserve life.
Yahweh... HE IS SALVATION!!!
The Psalms say so over and over again. OR was DAVID MISTAKEN??? Isaiah says it too in Isaiah 66. Or was Isaiah also mistaken????
Repent and change your ways...from any corner of the world. God will see the heart of such a person and he is SAVED. God knows all his creatures and they don't need a 'password' to get His mercy, only a repentant and humbled heart, the 'circumcised heart'.
The 'WAY' is a WAY of thinking and speaking found only in the true testimonies of scripture. The Way is the same as 'Torah', which can mean a WAY, a Path, a Order.
This is the direction to the WAY or Torah:
Give God the FIRST thing: your attention: your heart, your soul and your MIND.
YES...your MIND.
It isn't enough to be forgiven and forgive others and walk away to the worldly business we all have. Who is the MASTER here?
Choose your master. Two masters will not do. Chose your teacher.
The Way, Jesus described is the most hated teaching the false church, because it will make you into a sheep who knows the Shepherd's voice very well. You will find the echo of his voice in the O.T. to the precise letter. It will give you freedom, that the false harlot claims it has to dispense to you.
Devotion to the Way will ultimately cost you EVERYTHING, because to be attentive to the words of Jesus and the other testimonies, TIME will be sacrificed, Friendships challenged, Family ties strained, worldly gain suspended or set back.
Secondly and only SECONDLY, we must love our neighbors as ourselves. That includes enemies. Judgements of other peoples motives must not be part of our walk. This is false teaching from the other teacher. Jesus said clearly that if you judge your brother, you will be so judged. REmember the passage of John above, it is the prince of this world that is JUDGED. Don't join the company of the prince of this world, or you too will be judged.
On the hand, false teachings but be denied. In order to do the FIRST command. To love the Lord your God doesn't allow you room to play footsies with those who ADD words to Jesus' words:
Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. Prov. 30:6
Jesus, who is the personification of the SALVATION of Yahweh, will never judge. He will have to take up a new name to judge, for his purpose when he came 2000 years ago was to GATHER HIS OWN to himself.
WE are not earning SALVATION>>> we are obeying the master we love. Obedience is the natural result of true devotion...like a branch on a tree growing, or a baby in a womb growing. It just happens if we truly know the words of Jesus HIMSelf and not the other attributed teachers. KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE is night and day.
And anything keeping us from such a WAY should cause us to re-evaluate. Something needs to be gotten rid of, some idol.
If the 2 commands above are familiar is because they are part of the Sermon on the Mount. This is his COVENANT with us, this is the covenant He died for.
