Yeshua is the promised Messiah
Why Jews don't believe that Yeshua is the Messiah? Jewish rabbis and Talmud's teachings tell us why they don't believe that Yeshua is the Messiah. Jewish rabbis say that there is many reasons why Yeshua can't be the promised Messiah. But if we research Scriptures (Tanakh), so we will see that Yeshua is the Messiah. Israel's nation gathering and salvation When Jews as nation start to believe Yeshua as the Messiah, so then ends present world system and starts one thousand period of peace, where Yeshua rules in Israel and whole world. Israel became independent in year 1948 and that year was year when the fig tree (fig tree -Israel) was set its place. After year 1948 started big gathering (Exodus), which still is running. Israel's nation gathering its place is work of G_d, which He has promised already many thousands years ago. This gathering is going on, because the nation of Israel must find G_d in the end of days in the land of Israel, as G_d has said and promised in His word. The nation of Israel will find Yeshua the Messiah. Scriptures prove this very clearly: Zec 12:10. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. KJV
The fig tree describes nation of Israel in Scriptures. The fig tree produced first fruits in June and main harvest was reaped in August. Nowadays exist about 10 000 messianic Jews in the land of Israel, which are first fruits and main harvest will be reaped in the end of days, when all nation of Israel will repent and will be saved, as Scriptures clearly show us. Whole saving of Israel happens in the end of days. New Covenant started when Yeshua died about 30 A.D, but already now you can repent and believe to Yeshua and step inside to New Covenant as the saved people from the mercy of G_d. Zec 2: 10 ¶ (2-14) ‘Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. 11 (2-15) And many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be My people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee’; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee. 12 (2-16) And the LORD shall inherit Judah as His portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. The Messiah will combine Jews and gentiles as one nation (those who believe G_d), as nation of G_d, as Scriptures says us. Yeshua has done this already, because to Him believes some Jews and gentiles. Gentiles’ believers I don't mean church organizations example Roman Catholic Church, which represent Christian-Babylonian church institution. Gentiles believers I mean those who have repented and believe to G_d and believe that Yeshua is the Messiah. Gentiles’ believers I also mean those who obey G_d and live according to Scriptures. After that when the nation of Israel as nation receive salvation in the Messiah Yeshua, the Messiah will come on the earth to rule Israel and gentiles', whereby nation will not rise against nation, but all will to know that Lord G_d rules on the earth. Yeshua is the prophet Jews teach that prophets must live in the land of Israel and majority of population must be Jews. They also taught that last prophets are Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi. Jews say that because Yeshua born about 350 years later of last prophets, so Yeshua can't be the prophet, because the Messiah is also the prophet. Deut 18: 18 I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which he shall speak in My name, I will require it of him. Scriptures have a prophecy that Lord will send to the nation of Israel a prophet like Moses. Now we have to find out from the Scriptures that what kind of prophet Moses was. When we find out th is we can compare it to Yeshua. Before birth of Moses was given the command to kill all Hebrews male infants. Ex 1:
15 ¶ And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew
midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other
Puah; Same also before birth of Yeshua was given the command to kill all male infants. Matt 2:
16 ¶ Then Herod, when he saw that he was
mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the
children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years
old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the
wise men. Moses got a task to bring a message to the pharaoh that nation of Israel must set free to serve its own God. Through death of pharaoh first-born nation of Israel got for free from slavery of Egypt. Blood was as the mark on doorposts and saved Hebrews from the death, which faced Egypt's first born. Moses' mission was preaching freedom from slavery of Egypt and this freedom achieved through blood and death. Through blood of Yeshua nation of Israel will receive freedom from the power of sin, and they receive from Yeshua's blood forgiveness of sins. Yeshua poured out His blood on Calvary for the sake of sins. Moses' mission was also receiving the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant (Torah) and bring it to nation of God. Yeshua said: Matt 5: 17 ¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Yeshua didn't destroy the law or the prophets, but fulfil the law. Through Yeshua's offering by believing in Him you can get forgiveness of sins and a part in a New Covenant. Consequence of this G_d will put His law into the heart of New Covenant nation, as Jeremiah said. Yeshua brings the law to people in the Holy Spirit. Yeshua is the same kind of prophet like Moses was. Scriptures prove that. Messiah comes from the house of David Seed of the woman. Gen 3: 14 ¶ And the LORD God said unto the serpent: ‘Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou from among all cattle, and from among all beasts of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; they shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise their heel.’ Who is the seed of woman? Lord G_d said that there will be enmity between the seed of woman and seed of the serpent. Seed of the woman in other words He will crush to head an of serpent and serpent will bruise to His heel. In Hebrew text is word (HU), which is in hebr. Masculine form and means male. In Hebrew text there is word shuf, which means break, crush. HU is the Messiah, who crush satan and serpent means satan and power of sin. There is enmity between men and satan. Satan hates people whom G_d has created and satan has also captured people to do his evil will. Wages of sins are death and eternal damnation to every one who lives in sins. Yeshua crushed power of sin and satan by His death and blood. The Wisest student of rabbi Hillel, Joonatan Ben Uzziel has explained that the seed of woman is The Messiah King who is wounded to heel. Isaiah says: Isa 7:14; Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: behold, the young (almah) woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. {That is, God is with us.}
Almah means damsel, maid, young woman and virgin. Jews have translated in Septuagint word almah on Greek word parthenos - virgin. Evidences of Septuagint shows to us that also Jews held almah as virgin. We must know that Jews scholars translated Septuagint long before Yeshua's birth. When they did not know anything about Yeshua, they translated almah to mean virgin. This Jews own translation is very strong evidence that the Scriptures has prophecy that Yeshua has born from virgin. New Testament says that Yeshua born from virgin, which man has not touched. Many say that almah don't mean virgin, but a young woman. Abraham Even Shushan's OT dictionary says that almah means young woman, who is not married. In Jewishness almah was a young woman, who is not married. In the time of Jesus Jew women must be sexually pure before marriage. In Judaism and also in the days of Miriam (Yeshua's mother) virginity was held as condition to marriage. So it is clear that almah means also virgin. The Actual virgin word is betulah, but in Genesis chapter 24 Rebekah is used both words betulah and almah. Betulah בְּתוּלָה almah עַלְמָה .Rebekah was virgin and both betulah and almah. So also Scriptures prove us that almah is a virgin. Matt 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. Mary (Miriam) was a virgin and her womb fertilized from influence of the Holy Spirit as the Scriptures says. Mary bore the Son, which the name must give Yeshua (G_d saves, salvation). Yeshua's purpose was and is set free people from the power of sin and satan. Scriptures say that G_d alone can forgive sins and set people free from sins. Like this has happened, because Yeshua died in Calvary and rose up to the right side of His Father. In this is salvation, because for by one offering Yeshua has perfected in perpetuity the ones being sanctified. No man has ever born in the same way as Yeshua has been born. Yeshua born as fertilization of the Holy Spirit. This kind of birth proves that Yeshua is not ordinary man. This also proves Yeshua's divinity origin, because normal men don't born as fertilization of the Holy Spirit, but as fertilization of seed of man. Mary's (Miriam) should be pure and untouched that her womb could be touched and fertilized in the Holy Spirit. Matt 1: 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: G_d's angel proved and defended Mary (Miriam) and her virginity. When Joseph noticed that Mary (Miriam) is pregnant, he thought to put her away secretly. But G_d's angel appeared to Joseph and said: "Joseph, the son of David, fear not to take Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her, is from the Holy Spirit". Mary (Miriam) wasn't pregnant to a man, but the Holy Spirit was conceived her womb. Lord's angel quoted book of Isaiah chapter 7 and verse 14: Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. The Scriptures say that Yeshua born from virgin. Mary (Miriam) herself also gave same testimony: Luke 1:26 ¶ And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. Angel said to Mary (Miriam) that she will come pregnant, but Mary (Miriam) said that how shall this be, because I know not a man. Mary's own testimony about her virginity is clear evidence that she was virgin. Yeshua should call to Son of the Highest and Son of G_d. Lord G_d will give to Yeshua His Father throne. That throne is the throne of G_d, where Yeshua will sit and rule with His Father. Devastation of genealogies One very heavy reason why Messiah's should be appeared before 70 A.D is that when Jerusalem's temple was destroyed in 70 A.D, so also then destroyed all genealogies off all tribes. Because of this devastation of genealogies is very difficult to say that one belongs to house of David and is the Messiah. Because of devastation of genealogies the Messiah must already come before 70 A.D. Because otherwise would be impossible to anybody to proof that he is the Messiah. Contemporaries of Yeshua said that He belongs to the house of David:Matt 15:22 "And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil". Yeshua fills signs of the Messiah also by being from house of David. Keeping of Torah Jews says that Yeshua couldn't be the Messiah, because Yeshua didn't hold commands of Torah; because he who cancels commands of Torah is false prophet. Same Jews says that Yeshua broke against Sabbath by healing as Sabbath. Healing as Sabbath, Yeshua said; Whose ass or ox of yours shall fall into a pit, and he will not at once pull it up on the Sabbath day? How much more was that when Yeshua healed people from Sabbath! Yeshua didn't break against Sabbath, but healed and gave hope to people also in Sabbath. Yeshua didn't destroy the law, but fulfilled it.
תּוֹרָה Torah word comes from word yarad, which means; to flow as water (to rain), to lay or throw (especially an arrow, to shoot); figuratively, to point out (as if by aiming the finger), to teach:— (+) archer, cast, direct, inform, instruct, lay, shew, shoot, teach(-er,-ing), through. Torah word means instruction, direction and the law. Torah is like flowing water, which points out instruction and teaching of G_d. Torah is teaching and showing right direction. At the bottom of the ark of covenant were the tables of law, but above of the law was the mercy seat; this describes it reality, that mercy of G_d makes the law alive. And certainly purpose of it was pointing out to the nation of old covenant and also nation of the new covenant, that we don’t follow the letter, but living G_d through Yeshua the Messiah, for only the mercy of G_d in the Holy Spirit makes letter for alive. Without the Spirit the letter kills and don’t benefit us. John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Yeshua the Messiah Problem of old covenant nation was, that they couldn't live according to teaching of the law, and they didn't have close relationship to G_d. Wandering of the faith glorifies Yeshua the Messiah and by that way Scriptures are set to the right place; in other words the law was at the bottom of the ark of covenant, and mercy seat was above the law and the letter takes life through the mercy of G_d, for the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Yeshua the Messiah. The law, in other words teaching of the word of G_d is needed, but only in Yeshua the Messiah is possible to live in the mercy, in which the teaching of the word of G_d through the Holy Spirit brings us ability, that we can live in practise according to the Scriptures. The mercy brings truth through the Holy Spirit in Yeshua the Messiah. Mere letter can’t produce life of the Spirit. Messiah is the goal of the law, who is the Lord Yeshua the Messiah. For the Messiah is the goal of law for righteousness to everyone that believes. Syriac Peshitta Romans 10: 4 For Messiah is the aim of the law, for righteousness, unto every one that believeth in him.The law is a useful tool, when we grow towards the image of G_d, but without Yeshua the Messiah and mercy of G_d on the law is no other value as kill, but through Yeshua from the law comes living. He who live in the Spirit of G_d, he is not under judgement of the law, but is led by the Spirit of G_d. Yeshua didn't destroy the law, but fulfill it. In the power of the Holy Spirit, we in the grace of G_d and from the grace we live righteously and grow in righteousness, that we can live in practise according to the will of G_d and the Torah. Crucifixion in Scriptures Next quotation is from little notebook (VANHAN TESTAMENTIN KÄÄNNÖSVIRHEISTÄ - Translation errors of Old Testament) of deceased Kaarlo Syväntö; quotation is in italic: Psalm 22 is prophetic Messiah psalm. There is told sufferings of crucified Messiah. About 250 B.C in Egypt Old Testament was translated to Greek language. Jewish scribes were translators. Name of the translation is Septuagint, because seventy scribes were doing translation work. Hebrew Old Testament was written without vowels. About 400 A.D in Tiberias Jewish scribes added vowels to Hebrew text. When those scribes came to Psalm 17, they saw that it has clear reference to crucifixion. Correct text was: " They pierced my hands and feet." Translators decided that right thought must take away from there. Hebrew original word "CARU" was made "CAARJEI" = like lions. Fortunately meaning of the word is correct in Septuagint, where is pierced. Ps. 22:17: (22-17) For dogs have encompassed me; a company of evil-doers have inclosed me; like a lion, they are at my hands and my feet. Septuagint: (21:16) For many dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked doers has beset me round: they pierced my hands and my feet. From this same place we can see with very miraculous way divine inspiration of the Scriptures. David wrote this psalm over thousand year before Yeshua born. Crucifixion was Romans method to execute criminals. Imperium of Rome born later, much later after this prophecy was written. In old covenant time Jews stoned criminals. Only divine inspiration could prophesy so accurate death of the Messiah. Zechariah confirms before mentioned testimony of Kaarlo Syväntö.It is very interesting that Jews rabbis has translated Septuagint before born and death of Yeshua. They have translated there: they pierced my hands and my feet. When they did not know anything about Yeshua, they translated there they pierced; and who where those they? The Scriptures says dogs have pierced my hands and my feet. Jews called Gentiles as dogs. In the psalm 22 is very accurate description what happened in the Calvary. Roman soldiers pierced Yeshua in the Calvary; and there they pierced His hands and feet. Spirit of G_d has inspirated this verse to the Scriptures. This verse is very powerful proof that Yeshua is the Messiah. Jews didn't know anything about Yeshua when they translated Septuagint. Those translators were unanimous that somebody was pierced by hands and feet. I believe that it was hand of G_d, which directed them to translate this verse just like they did it. It is a proof that Yeshua is the Messiah.Psalm 22:18: They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. Roman soldiers did exactly that what Psalm 22:18 tells. Awesome proof again that Yeshua is the Messiah.Zec 12: 10. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look unto Me because they have thrust him through; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born. KJV: And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Romans habit was crucified by piercing, that was not habit of Jews. Zechariah confirms that Messiah indeed was crucified. Yeshua is suffering servant in Isaiah 53 Next quotation is from little notebook (VANHAN TESTAMENTIN KÄÄNNÖSVIRHEISTÄ - Translation errors of Old Testament) of deceased Kaarlo Syväntö; quotation is in italic: Isa 53:2: " ... he had no form nor comeliness, ....nor beauty that we should delight in him." For Hebrew this sentence is very short and simple, only four words: Ein to toar vehadar. "Toar" word has many meanings. When it speaks about objects it can be a shape or beauty. When it speaks about tools it is held of a tool. In grammar it is adjective. But when it speaks about a person it means always the title or academic degree. "Hadar" is particularly glory of God. Correct translation is: " He (Messiah) has no title, and no glory of God that he would please us". Whole chapter Isa 53 is called rabbis bad (evil) conscience. There is so clear prophecy about suffering Messiah that they don't like to read it. Isa 53: 1 ¶ ‘Who would have believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2 For he shot up right forth as a sapling, and as a root out of a dry ground; he had no form nor comeliness, that we should look upon him, nor beauty that we should delight in him. 3 He was despised, and forsaken of men, a man of pains, and acquainted with disease, and as one from whom men hide their face: he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 ¶ Surely our diseases he did bear, and our pains he carried; whereas we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded because of our transgressions, he was crushed because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our welfare was upon him, and with his stripes we were healed. 6 All we like sheep did go astray, we turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath made to light on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, though he humbled himself and opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before her shearers is dumb; yea, he opened not his mouth. 8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away, and with his generation who did reason? for he was cut off out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due. 9 And they made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich his tomb; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.’ 10 ¶ Yet it pleased the LORD to crush him by disease; to see if his soul would offer itself in restitution, that he might see his seed, prolong his days, and that the purpose of the LORD might prosper by his hand: 11 Of the travail of his soul he shall see to the full, even My servant, who by his knowledge did justify the Righteous One to the many, and their iniquities he did bear. 12 Therefore will I divide him a portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the mighty; because he bared his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. Nowadays Isaiah 53 is rabbis’ bad (evil) conscience, and they don't like to read or teach that there is in question about the Messiah, but that Isa 52-53 speaks about exile and redemption of Israel's nation. Judaism has not always taught like this, but history knows that many Jews have taught Isa 53 is the description about the Messiah. There are few examples about it: Rabbi Moses Alshekh (1508-1600) : "Our old learned have preserved for us the testimony of traditional knowledge that this refers to the Messiah. Because of this, we must also follow them and believe that this prophecy refers to David, in other words the Messiah, who will appear like this.” Rabbi Moshe Kohen ibn Crispin: "They (certain contemporary commentators) compare without consideration the expression 'my servant ' to the idea ‘you, O Israel, my servant,’ in Isaiah 41:8, in which the prophet speaks about the nation of Israel. However, this does not refer to Israel, it says merely 'my servant’. Therefore, we cannot interpret the word in the same way. (...) I would like to interpret that it (Isaiah 53) refers to king Messiah as the rabbis have taught, and carefully, as long as I am able, I try to hold on to the literal meaning: this way, I may possibly avoid the far-fetched interpretations of which the others have been guilty." Rabbi Maimonides (Rambam): "God made already in the beginning a covenant with the Messiah, and told Him: 'My righteous Messiah, those who are entrusted to you, their sins will bring to your shoulders a heavy burden and your ears will hear a large shame and your mouth will taste bitterness and your tongue will stick to the roof of your mouth and your soul will be powerless under grief and sigh. Do you submit to this?' And he answered, 'I will happily receive all these pains, so that no one of Israel would get lost.' Immediately when the Messiah had accepted all these pains in His love, as has been written in the book of Isaiah 53:7, he was oppressed and afflicted.” Rabbi Leevi Ben Gershom : "Really, the Messiah is this kind of prophet, such as Midrash says; See, my servant will act wisely (Isa 52:13)... Moses got with a miracles one nation to serve God, but the Messiah will get all the nations to serve Him.” Yeshua died on the cross for the sake of sins of the mankind and through His blood there is valid forgiveness of sins. Yeshua is suffering servant of Isa 53 and the Messiah. As you have noticed that old learned and rabbis have taught very accurately about the Messiah according to Isa 53 and Yeshua is only one who fills those signs of Isa 53.
Piercing in Zechariah
Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the
house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and
of supplication; and they shall look unto Me because they {That is, the
nations. See verse 9.} have thrust him through; and they shall mourn for him,
as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one
that is in bitterness for his first-born. KJV: And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Talmud (Sukkah 52 a) says about Zec12:10 that it means the Messiah: " In the right is certainly He who explains that as a reason is killing of the Messiah, the son of Joseph, for that suits the verse well, 'They will look on me, the one they have pierced. And they will mourn for him..."Rabbi Rashi has said that a common view among the rabbis is that Zec 12:10 refer to the Messiah: "Our rabbis have interpreted that this refers to the Messiah, the son of Joseph.”Rabbi Moses Alsheikh has also said that Zec 12:10 speaks about the Messiah:" They will look on me, for they raise their eyes on me in perfect repentance, when they see Him whom they have pierced, the Messiah, the son of Joseph; for our blessed rabbis have said that He will take on Him all the guilt of Israel and that He will then be killed in the war of bringing about atonement, quite like Israel would have pierced Him, for because of their sins He has died; and so that full atonement would belong to them, they repent and look on this blessed and say that nobody else can forgive them, who mourns for him, who died for the sake of their sins: this is what means 'they will look on me".Old Jewish learned have said very clearly that Zec 12:10 speak about the Messiah. Only Yeshua fills signs of Zec 12, because on Calvary Yeshua was pierced for the sake of sins of mankind. Rabbi Moses Alsheikh also believed that Zec 12:10 speaks about the Messiah and that they will look on Messiah whom they have pierced. Then rabbi said that they (Jews) will look on Him who died for the sake of their sins! Yeshua died for the sake of sins. From Talmud can be found very interesting teaching:Talmud (Sanhedrin 97. b) "The son of David will arrive during a generation which is either completely righteous or completely sinful; during a time that is completely righteous, such as has been written Isa 60:21, all your people will be righteous and possess the land forever; or during a time when all people are sinful, as has been written Isa 59:16, “He saw that there was no one, He was appalled that there was no one to intervene… in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven (Dan 7:13), and it has been written, gentle and riding on a donkey: if they are righteous, He will come with the clouds of heaven, if not, gentle and riding on a donkey.” As we have seen before that Yeshua's contemporaries said to Him that He is son of David. Yeshua rode with a donkey to Jerusalem and will come with the clouds of heaven after that when Jews believe Him. Old Jews learned recognized very clearly the Messiah. All identifying marks suit to Yeshua, because He is the Messiah. Passover lamb Ex 12:46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof. G_d order a Passover (pesach) lamb, which must be without blemish, a male of the first year. This male lamb shall keep unto the fourteenth day of the first month, and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel must kill it at dusk. Through blood of this offering male lamb Israel were in safety against death and through that blood nation of Israel attained freedom from Egypt's slavery. G_d ordered that bones of the lamb must not break. Yeshua was captured and killed in Passover week and executioners didn't break His bones:
John 19 Yeshua fills also signs as fulfillment of Passover lamb. Yeshua is the promised Messiah. Religion of the Messiah is religion of the nation Jews teach that only Judaism is based on national announcement, where G_d speaks whole nation, not to one man. They said also that Judaism not based to miracles, but to the law and to testimony, which happened on Mount Sinai, where all people heard G_d's speech. Yeshua gave a command going into all the world, preach the gospel to all the creation. Yeshua also taught that the Holy Spirit, which Father sends will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. New Covenant in the Messiah does not base on miracles, but the word of G_d and testimony of the Holy Spirit, which through G_d speaks to whole nation of G_d. Yeshua as the Messiah fills those identifying marks that faith based on the word of G_d and G_d speaks to whole nation, not only to one man. Romans 10: 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. John 16: 7 ¶ Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. The New Covenant and the temple Jews teach that Messiah must build third temple and Jews say that Yeshua didn’t build third temple. Jews say that Ezekiel teaches about third temple: Eze 37: 26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them—it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will establish them, and multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in the midst of them for ever. 27 My dwelling-place also shall be over them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 28 And the nations shall know that I am the LORD that sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for ever.’ Actually Yeshua built "third" temple and it comes into view from Scriptures and activity of Yeshua. G_d promised to make New Covenant with tribes of Israel and Judah, in which the law (Torah) will be placed to the heart, not to the stone. By that way G_d will be G_d of Israel and Israel will be nation of G_d. Jer 31: 31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah; 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; forasmuch as they broke My covenant, although I was a lord over them, saith the LORD. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the LORD, I will put My law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people; G_d has promised to make a New Covenant with the nation of Israel, not according to the covenant that He had made with their fathers, when G_d lead them away from slavery of Egypt. G_d will make a New Covenant. Yeshua built "third temple" in that way, that He died and rose up and send the Holy Sprit to dwell in their hearts who believe that Yeshua is the Messiah. By that way those who believe are temple of G_d: 1Co 3:16 ¶ Know ye not that ye are the temple
of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Jeremiah 31:31 has words Brit Chadasha - New Covenant. New Covenant is New, which is not similar as a former covenant with nation of Israel. The word translated in Jer 31:31 "new" is the Hebrew adjective "chadash". It is used 53 times in the Scriptures and always translated as "new" or as "new thing" except once, in Job 20:29, where it is translated as "fresh". But this adjective is actually formed from the verb "chadash" (same transliterated spelling), which is used ten times in the Scriptures. Chadash is an adjective New and in Jer 31:31 it is an adjective. As verb chadash means to renew and repair, but as adjective new. Old covenant law was written to stone, but in New Covenant it will be written to the heart, because Covenant is New. Jewish translate in their Bible like this (JPS - Jewish Publication Society Old Testament 1917) kääntämässään Raamatussa Jer 31:31 näin: Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah; Jews have translated in Setuagint Jer 31:31 hebrew word chadash as word kaineen, which means new. Own testimony of Jews is that chadash means new and not renew. Judaism try to claim that chadash means renew, but their own testimony in JPS and Septuagint says that chadash means new. Septuagint was translated before Yeshua born, so Jews translated there word new (chadash), which is meaning of chadash. But now when Yeshua has born and set up New Covenant in His blood, judaism twist meaning of chadash that they don't have any need to believe Yeshua as the Messiah, but they will believe in Him in the last days. Freeing from slavery of Egypt led getting of the law and to the law covenant between G-D and nation of Israel. This old covenant will be replaced with New Covenant. Is old covenant still valid or has it been cancelled yet and has New Covenant already come? Has New Covenant already come? G-d has promised in His word that He will live in the midst of Israel forever. After freeing from Egypt G-d said that His dwelling place is in the Most Holy of tabernacle and after that in the Most Holy of Solomon and Herod's temples. Nowadays Israel has no temple where G_d would dwell, because New Covenant has already come and has replaced old one. Old covenant has ended and new better covenant has come Hebr 10: 1 ¶ For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7 ¶ Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 19 ¶ Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21 And having an high priest over the house of God; Hebr 8: 1 ¶ Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. 4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: 5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. 6 ¶ But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Old covenant is not anymore valid, because blood offering of Yeshua cancelled it. G_d allowed destruction of the temple. G_d didn't please anymore order of old covenant and so He set a new and better covenant through blood offering of Yeshua. The destruction of the temple is a mark from the G_d that He doesn't like order of old covenant and He has changed it to the order of the New Covenant. Evidence from this is that there has not been existed for the temple about 2000 years. The Red stripe didn't turn white When started New Covenant? Jewish sources tell us that something "shocking" happened 40 years before the destruction of the temple, which is about 30 A.D, which is dying year of Yeshua. Mishna Sanhedrin and Avoda Zara tell us that: "The offerings have lost their power and the doors of the Most Holy Place have opened themselves.” In Talmud (Yoma 39b) has written that: " Forty years before the holy temple were destroyed, the following things took place: on the Day of Atonement, the ram ceased to be supernatural; the red woolen yarn that normally changes into white stayed red and did not change; and the west side candle of the candelabra of the sanctuary did not want to burn when the doors of the holy temple opened by themselves.”The red stripe in the scapegoat represented the sin of Israelites, because red blood of sin offering on the mercy seat atoned sins of Israelites. Jewish Talmud teaches that this red stripe would continually turn white as mark God's acceptance of the offering and as a mark of forgiveness of sins. After Yeshua's death this never happened again, red stripe didn't turn white. Is it coincidence that red stripe didn't anymore turn white and supernatural things in sanctuary ceased exactly same time when Yeshua died? It is not coincidence, but G_d's sign that old covenant has ceased and New Covenant has started. Ex 29: 42 It shall be a continual burnt-offering throughout your generations at the door of the tent of meeting before the LORD, where I will meet with you, to speak there unto thee. 43 And there I will meet with the children of Israel; and the Tent shall be sanctified by My glory. 44 And I will sanctify the tent of meeting, and the altar; Aaron also and his sons will I sanctify, to minister to Me in the priest’s office. 45 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God. Israel has not anymore the temple and sanctuary. After Yeshua's death red stripe didn't turn white; that is a mark that there is no forgiveness of sins through old covenant offerings and for that reason G_d allowed destruction of the temple year 70 A.D., in other words forty years after Yeshua's death temple was destroyed. About 30 A.D happened Yeshua's death and ceasing of supernatural things in sanctuary and red stripe didn't turn white. That is not coincidence, but G_d's mark that Messiah had come and had poured out His blood for the sake of sins of Israelites. Yeshua is this Messiah. Dan 9: 25 Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem unto one anointed, a prince, shall be seven weeks; and for threescore and two weeks, it shall be built again, with broad place and moat, but in troublous times. 26 And after the threescore and two weeks shall an anointed one be cut off, and be no more; and the people of a prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; but his end shall be with a flood; and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. 27 And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and upon the wing of detestable things shall be that which causeth appalment; and that until the extermination wholly determined be poured out upon that which causeth appalment. Book of Daniel tells us that Messiah must come before destruction of the temple. The temple destroyed 70 A.D. Book of Daniel also says that the Messiah will be destroyed before devastation of Jerusalem's temple. So Scriptures point out to us that the Messiah has already come. Yeshua’s blood is offering of New Covenant, which brings forgiveness of sins. Yeshua built the "third" temple Jews say that Yeshua didn't build third temple. Actually He built it, because in New Covenant according to Jeremiah G_d will put His law to the heart of His nation and will live in the midst of them. This "third" temple is a believer where G_d dwells. We are already in the time of New Covenant and Yeshua is the Messiah and through His sin offering (His blood) is valid forgiveness of New Covenant.
Eze 36: Through Ezekiel G_d taught, that giving a law into the heart (New Covenant) will be happened after that when G_d has gathered Israelites out of all countries (gentiles). After that gathering G_d will make a New Covenant with the nation of Israel by giving them the Holy Spirit, in which G_d write His law into their hearts (Jer 31). Promise about New Covenant is all the time valid, but will come into force to whole nation of Israel after they repent as nation and as nation receive Yeshua to be their Messiah. New Covenant has been existed about 2000 years. Thanks to G_d, because there are already some Jews who believe that Yeshua is the Messiah and they are already inside of New Covenant. Apostle Paul wrote: Romans 11: 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. Deuteronium tells about same thing: Deut 4 :27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the peoples, and ye shall be left few in number among the nations, whither the LORD shall lead you away. 28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 29 But from thence ye will seek the LORD thy God; and thou shalt find Him, if thou search after Him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. 30 In thy distress, when all these things are come upon thee, in the end of days, thou wilt return to the LORD thy God, and hearken unto His voice; In the end of the days nation of Israel will hear G_d's voice and will return to G_d and they also receive the Holy Spirit and New Covenant and Yeshua as the Messiah. Is there concept trinity in the Scriptures? Deut 6:4 HEAR, O ISRAEL: THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE (Echad).In Deut 6:4 Lord word is Yhvh and G_d word is Elohim and word one is echad. Jews are right saying that the scripture do not teach anything about trinity and concept trinity is not in the Scriptures. But what means word echad (one)? Finnish Karmel society published Hebrew Finnish dictionary defines word echad like this: one, first, some, only, united. Strong's gives word echad the following meanings: a numeral from 0258; properly, united, i.e. one; or (as an ordinal) first:—a, alike, alone, altogether, and, any(-thing), apiece, a certain, [dai-]ly, each (one), + eleven, every, few, first, + highway, a man, once, one, only, other, some, together. Next we look in which context word echad appears: Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one (echad) day. Echad means in this one. Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one (echad) flesh. In the marriage husband and wife comes for one (echad) flesh by joining together. Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said: ‘Behold, the man is become as one (echad) of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.’ Lord (YHVH) G_d (ELOHIM) said in paradise that man is become as one (echad) of us. Us means in this place Father G_d and the Messiah, who created man after image of G_d. Lev 24:22 Ye shall have one (echad) manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for the home-born; for I am the LORD your God.’ This place points out that there is one (echad) law. Num 7:22 one (echad) male of the goats for a sin-offering Scriptures say one (echad) male of the goats for a sin offering.
Eze 37: When tribes of Israel are joined together is used word echad; in other words, when they are joined together they are one (echad). Echad means also joining for one. Here are few places how Scriptures uses echad word. As we can see Scriptures use also echad word places where from several is formed unity, in other words one entirety. Conclusion is that G_d is one in the Father and Son (Messiah) and the Holy Spirit. Yeshua said that He and Father will come to dwell on those who love G_d. G_d is not trinity, but one and united in Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Yeshua said that He is the Son of G_d. How He can be the Son of G_d and the Messiah at the same time? Gen 1:26-27 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. In this are written that G_d made (in us form) man in the image of G_d and after likeness of G_d. Some Jews teach that G_d and angel are those us, but that is not true. Man was made the image of G_d, not the image of G_d and angels. These us is the Father and the Son (Yeshua the Messiah) with the Holy Spirit. Yeshua is not the Father like some Christians (not all) teach, but the Son of G_d. Hebrew word echad explains us why G_d says us and uses plural form about Him. G_d is echad, in other words G_d is one by way of joining, and where G_d allows His Son be parting from oneness in Divinity. G_d of Israel is one (echad) in the Father, in the Son (Yeshua) and in the Holy Spirit. Catholic church has formulated doctrine of trinity and that doctrine teaches that Father and Son are equal in greatness and in Almightiness. But Catholic Church doctrine is against Scriptures, because Yeshua and apostle Paul have written: John 14: 28 ¶ Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. Matt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
1 Cor 15: Yeshua didn't say that He is equal with His Father, which means that He is not equal in greatness with His Father. The Scriptures say that Father has given all power to His Son, but in the end the Son will be subject to His Father. This is a proof that the Father is alone Almighty and the Son has all power only a certain time and after that the Son will be subject to His Father that G_d may be all in all.Changing of the guard don't destroy the law Jews have no more the temple and not Levitical priesthood, for under those came giving of the Torah. Jews have no more High Priest, no blood of sin offerings for sprinkle in the temple. Yeshua didn't destroy the law, but His offering removed order of priesthood and He set up New Covenant:
Hebr 7: G_d said through Jeremiah: Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah; not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; forasmuch as they broke My covenant, although I was a lord over them, saith the LORD. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the LORD, I will put My law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people; and they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying: ‘Know the LORD’; for they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more. Nation of Israel had the law and Levitical priesthood and covenant (old), but this covenant didn't bring perfection to nation of Israel. For that reason Yeshua came as High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek and order of Aaron was destroyed. Jews will built third temple, but it is not will of God. Jews want to rebuild the temple and revive Levitical priesthood, but G_d don't accept it and G_d allow that in the end of days to Israel and Jerusalem will be attacked, but after that when Jews turn to believe Yeshua, G_d will saved all of them. All Israel will be saved
Hosea 3:
Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the
house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and
of supplication; and they shall look unto Me because they {That is, the
nations. See verse 9.} have thrust him through; and they shall mourn for him,
as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one
that is in bitterness for his first-born. KJV: And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Rebuild temple is not a solution in the end of days, but Yeshua as Zechariah says. Believing to Yeshua bring about salvation and finding of G_d.
Romans 11: The Scriptures says that all Israel (the remnant of last days) will be saved and they believe that Yeshua is the Messiah! In the last days being remnant of Israel will be saved after they have repented and believed that Yeshua is the Messiah and so all Israel will be saved! Blessed is this promise and may G_d bless Israel in the Messiah! Zec 12: 10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Zec 13:
8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the
land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the
third shall be left therein. In the end of days third part of Jews will remain from destruction and they repent and believe to Yeshua. This third part of Jews is the remnant, which will be saved and so all Israel will be saved as there has been written about that in the Scriptures. In the end of days two part of Jews shall be cut off and die and third part will be left and they will be saved and like this way prophecy will be fulfilled and all living Jews will be saved, in other words all Israel will be saved. Yeshua is the goal of the law
Romans 10:
Matt 5:
17 ¶ Do not think that I came to abolish the
Torah or the Neviim. I did not come to abolish but to complete. Yeshua didn't come to destroy the law or prophets, but Yeshua fulfilled the law. Yeshua is end of the law, which was written to the stones, but Yeshua is the goal of the law (Torah), which G-d put into heart of those who believe Yeshua and G_d. New order New Covenant removed old covenant animal offering system and everlasting offering of Yeshua came into power, which bring about forgiveness of sins and redemption. New Covenant removed an order of Aaron and Yeshua is the High Priest of New Covenant. New Covenant removed Levitical priesthood and now is into the power royal priesthood (mamlechet kohanim). New Covenant removed joining to congregation by natural born, because to New Covenant people born spiritually from the Holy Spirit. In New Covenant gospel is preached about death and resurrection of Yeshua, which bring about forgiveness of sins and redemption. In the New Covenant word of G_d and the Holy Spirit achieve that people understand being sinners and slavery of sin and satan, which the wage is a death and eternal damnation. After repentance man born again and receive forgiveness of sins and G_d add him/her to His congregation. By the Holy Spirit G_d pour out His love into heart of His people, that His people can love G_d and their neighbours. The Holy Spirit gives to believer power to resist sins and power to wander and grow in righteousness. In old covenant nation was circumcised in the flesh as the nation of G_d, but in New Covenant Yeshua circumcise us to G_d by circumcision of the Holy Spirit. Ten Commandments are into the power in New Covenant and all commands, which are in harmony with teachings of New Covenant. Yeshua is the High Priest (Kohen Gadol) of New Covenant
Psalm 110: Psalm 110 says that He who sit at right hand of G_d will be a priest of Melchizedek for ever. Yeshua has sat at right hand of G_d. Yeshua is the High priest of New Covenant. When another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek, who has not become so according to a law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an indissoluble life. For it is testified, "You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek." For a voiding of preceding a command comes about because of its weakness and unprofitableness. For the Law perfected nothing, but a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to G_d. And by how much it was not apart from the swearing of an oath; for they have become priests without the swearing of an oath, but He with the swearing through Him who says to Him, "The Lord swore, and will not repent, You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek;" by so much Yeshua has become Surety of a better covenant. And they truly are many priests, being hindered from continuing because of death; but He has the priesthood not to be passed on, because of His continuing forever. From this also He is able to save to perfection those who come to G_d through Him, ever living to intercede on their behalf. For such a High Priest was fitting for us: holy, harmless, undefiled, and separated from sinners, and having become higher than the heavens; who has no need, as do the high priests, to offer sacrifices day by day, first for His own sins, then for those of the people. For He did this once for all, offering up Himself. For the Law makes men high priests who have infirmity, but the word of the swearing of an oath, after the Law, appoints the Son (Yeshua) forever, having been perfected. Now a summary over the things being said: We have such a High Priest, who sat down on the right of the throne of the Majesty in Heaven, Psa. 110:1 Minister of the Holy of Holies, and of the true tabernacle which the Lord pitched, and not man. For every high priest is set in a place to offer both gifts and sacrifices; from which it is necessary for this One also to have something which He may offer. For if indeed He were on earth, He would not even be a priest, there being those priests offering gifts according to the Law, who serve the pattern of and shadow of heavenly things, even as Moses was divinely warned, being about to make the tabernacle: For He says, "See that you make all things according to the pattern shown to you in the mount." Ex. 25:40 But now He has gotten a more excellent ministry, also by so much as He (Yeshua) is a Mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. For if that first was faultless, a place would not have been sought for a second. For finding fault, He said to them, "Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, and I will make an end on the house of Israel and on the house of Judah; a new covenant shall be, not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day of My taking hold of their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I did not regard them, says the Lord. Because this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and I will write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." "And they shall no more teach each one his neighbor, and each one his brother, saying, Know the Lord; because all shall know Me, from the least of them to their great ones. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousnesses, and I will not at all remember their sins and their lawless deeds." LXX-Jer. 38:31-34; MT-Jer. 31:31-34 In the New Covenant is not Jews or Gentiles, but they are one in the Messiah. In New Covenant is one congregation to which belong to all who have repented and believed to Yeshua. Message of New Covenant This Covenant solves a question of sin and righteous, death and life. By this covenant through repentance and believing Yeshua people are freed from sin, satan and eternal damnation. By this covenant through repentance and believing Yeshua people are born for children of G_d and their sins are forgiven. Romans 3:
23 For all have sinned and suffered want of
the kavod of Hashem.
Omein. Come Adoneinu Yeshua!
