Yahuah promises to make a great nation through Abram.
The Calling of Abram "Then YAHUAH said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s house hold, and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.…"
Establishment of an everlasting covenant between Yahuah and Abram and Abram’s seed.
"I will establish My covenants an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you."
The covenant was passed down from Abraham and Isaac to “Israel” (name changed here).
"And YHWH said to him, “Though your name is Jacob, you will no longer be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel.” So YAH named him Israel."
Yahuah establishes Himself as the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and calls His people the children of Israel.
" YHWH also told Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘YHWH, the ELOHIM of your fathers—the ELOHIM of Abraham, the ELOHIM of Isaac, and the ELOHIM of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered in every generation."
A mixed multitude went out with the children of Israel and Yahuah says there is only ONE Torah (instructions) for the native-born and the sojourner (mixed multitude).
The Exodus Begins "The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children. And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of live stock, both flocks and herds. Since their dough had no leaven, the people baked what they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened loaves. For when they had been driven out of Egypt, they could not delay and had not prepared any provisions for themselves.…"
Yahuah explains the covenant between Him and the children of Israel (including multitude).
"Then Moses went up to ELOHIM, and YHWH called to him from the mountain, “This is what you are to tell the house of Jacob and explain to the sons of Israel: ‘You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. "Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations—for the whole earth is Mine. And unto Me you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to speak to the Israelites."
"Prophecy given regarding a Prophet like Moses who will rise up for the children of Israel and speak The Words of Yahuah.
The covenant made with Yahuah and His people-Israel, and a prophetic foretelling of a disobedience to the covenant causing Yahuah to scatter His people-Israel among the nations.
The children of Israel begged to have a king placed over them.
It was not the desire of Yahuah for His people so Yahuah warned them what would happen if a king ruled over them.
The people refused to listen to Yahuah. Yahuah allows Samuel to place a king over His people.
1 Samuel 8:4-22
Israel Demands a King (Also Deuteronomy 17:14–20)
"When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as judges over Israel. The name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of his second was Abijah. They were judges in Beersheba. But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside toward dishonest gain, accepting bribes and perverting justice."
"So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah. 5“Look,” they said, “you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king to judge us like all the other nations."
"But when they said, “Give us a king to judge us,” their demand was displeasing in the sight of Samuel; so he prayed to YHWH."
And YHWH said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you. For it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected Me as their king. Just as they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking Me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. Now listen to them, but you must solemnly warn them and show them the manner of the king who will reign over them."
Samuel’s Warning
"So Samuel spoke all the words of YHWH to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, "This will be the manner of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons and appoint them to his own chariots and horses, to run in front of his chariots."
"He will appoint some for himself as commanders of thousands and of fifties, and others to plow his ground, to reap his harvest, to make his weapons of war, and to equip his chariots."
"And he will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his servants."
"He will take a tenth of your grain and grape harvest and give it to his officials and servants. And he will take your menservants and maidservants and your best cattle and donkeys and put them to his own use."
"He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. When that day comes, you will beg for relief from the king you have chosen, but YHWH will not answer you on that day."
YHWH Grants the Request
"Nevertheless, the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We must have a king over us. Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to judge us, to go out before us, and to fight our battles."
"Samuel listened to all the words of the people and repeated them in the hearing of the YHWH."
"Listen to their voice,” YHWH said to Samuel. “Appoint a king for them." Then Samuel told the men of Israel, “Everyone must go back to his city."
Division began within the children of Israel to divide them into two houses (Israel and Judah).
"And when Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he mobilized the whole house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin—180,000 chosen warriors—to fight against the house of Israel and restore the kingdom to Rehoboam son of Solomon."
Yahuah’s people were divided into the House of Israel and the House of Judah.
"At that time the people of Israel were divided: Half of the people supported Tibni son of Ginath as king, and half supported Omri."
Yahuah removed the House of Israel from his presence (scattered them among the nations) due to continuous disobedience.
***Read the entire book of Hosea to understand this better!
"All this happened because the people of Israel had sinned against YHWH their ELOHIM, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. They had worshiped other gods and walked in the customs of the nations that YHWH had driven out before the Israelites, as well as in the practices introduced by the kings of Israel."
"The Israelites secretly did things against YHWH their ELOHIM that were not right. From watchtower to fortified city, they built high places in all their cities. They set up for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree. "They burned incense on all the high places like the nations that YHWH had driven out before them. They did wicked things, provoking YHWH to anger. They served idols, although YHWH had told them, “You shall not do this thing."
"Yet through all His prophets and seers, YHWH warned Israel and Judah, saying, “Turn from your wicked ways and keep My commandments and statutes, according to the entire Law that I commanded your fathers and delivered to you through My servants the prophets."
"But they would not listen, and they stiffened their necks like their fathers, who did not believe YHWH ELOHIM. They rejected His statutes and the covenant He had made with their fathers, as well as the decrees He had given them. They pursued worthless idols and themselves became worthless, going after the surrounding nations that YHWH had commanded them not to imitate."
"They abandoned all the commandments of YHWH their ELOHIM and made for themselves two cast idols of calves and an Asherah pole. They bowed down to all the host of heaven and served Baal. They sacrificed their sons and daughters in the fire and practiced divination and soothsaying. They devoted themselves to doing evil in the sight of YHWH, provoking Him to anger."
"So YHWH was very angry with Israel, and He removed them from His presence. Only the tribe of Judah remained, and even Judah did not keep the commandments of YHWH their ELOHIM, but lived according to the customs Israel had introduced. So YHWH rejected all the descendants of Israel. He afflicted them and delivered them into the hands of plunderers, until He had banished them from His presence."
"When YHWH had torn Israel away from the house of David, they made Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam led Israel away from following YHWH and caused them to commit a great sin. The Israelites persisted in all the sins that Jeroboam had committed and did not turn away from them. Finally, YHWH removed Israel from His presence, as He had declared through all His servants the prophets. So Israel was exiled from their homeland into Assyria, where they are to this day."
Punishment was to come upon House of Judah due to their continuous disobedience, but Yahuah’s promise to David (2 Samuel 7:16) kept Him from destroying them (2 Kings 8:19).
"For YHWH had said, "I will remove Judah from My sight, just as I removed Israel. I will reject this city Jerusalem, which I chose, and the temple of which I said, ‘My Name shall be there.’"
Prophecy of a “renewed covenant” with the House of Israel and the House of Judah.
"Behold, the days are coming, declares YHWH, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt— a covenant they broke, though I was a husband to them, declares YHWH!
"But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares YHWH. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their ELOHIM, and they will be My people."
"No longer will each man teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know YHWH,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares YHWH. For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more."
Thus says YHWH, who gives the sun for light by day, who sets in order the moon and stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—YHWH of Hosts is His name: "Only if this fixed order departed from My presence, declares YHWH, would Israel’s descendants ever cease to be a nation before Me." This is what YHWH says: “Only if the heavens above could be measured and the foundations of the earth below searched out
would I reject all of Israel’s descendants because of all they have done."
Prophecy of gathering the House of Israel from the nations and bringing them back into covenant with Yahuah; Yahuah will cause you to walk in His laws and you shall do them.
"Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the YHWH ELOHIM says: It is not for your sake that I will act, O house of Israel, but for My holy name, which you profaned among the nations to which you went. I will show the holiness of My great name, which has been profaned among the nations—the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am YHWH, declares YHWH ELOHIM, when I show My holiness in you before their eyes."
"For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and I will bring you back into your own land. I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances."
"Then you will live in the land that I gave your forefathers; you will be My people, and I will be your ELOHIM. I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will summon the grain and make it plentiful, and I will not bring famine upon you. I will also make the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field plentiful, so that you will no longer bear reproach among the nations on account of famine."
"Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and abominations. It is not for your sake that I will act, declares YHWH ELOHIM—let it be known to you. Be ashamed and disgraced for your ways, O house of Israel!"
Yahusha (the Messiah) says that He was sent for the lost sheep of the House of Israel.
The Faith of the Canaanite Woman (Also; Mark 7:24–30)
"Leaving that place, YAHUSHA withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And a Canaanite woman from that region came to Him, crying out, “YAHUSHA, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is miserably possessed by a demon."
"But YAHUSHA did not answer a word. So His disciples came and urged Him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us." He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
"The woman came and knelt before Him. "YAHUSHA, help me!” she said." But YAHUSHA replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs." “Yes, YAHUSHA,” she said, “even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table."
"O woman,” Jesus answered, “your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour."
Prophecy fulfilled from Deuteronomy 18:15-19.
(Also note John 12:47-50 as fulfillment of that prophecy)
A Prophet Like Moses (Also Acts 3:11–26)
"Then YHWH your ELOHIM will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to him. This is what you asked of YHWH your ELOHIM at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, “Let us not hear the voice of YHWH our ELOHIM or see this great fire anymore, so that we will not die!"
"Then YHWH said to me, "They have spoken well. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. I will put My words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. And I will hold accountable anyone who does not listen to My words that the prophet speaks in My name."
Acts 3:12–26 "And when Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why are you surprised by this? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?"
The ELOHIM of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the ELOHIM of our fathers, has glorified His servant YAHUSHA. You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate, even though he had decided to release Him. You rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. You killed the Author of life, but YHWH raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses of the fact."
"By faith in the name of YAHUSHA, this man whom you see and know has been made strong. It is YAHUSHA's name and the faith that comes through Him that has given him this complete healing in your presence."
"And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. But in this way YHWH has fulfilled what He foretold through all the prophets, saying that His Mashiach would suffer. Repent, then, and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped away, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of YHWH, and that He may send YAHUSHA, the Messiah, who has been appointed for you."
"Heaven must take Him in until the time comes for the restoration of all things, which YHWH announced long ago through His holy prophets."
"For Moses said, ‘YHWH your ELOHIM will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to Him in everything He tells you. Everyone who does not listen to Him will be completely cut off from among his people."
"Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have proclaimed these days. And you are sons of the prophets and of the covenant YHWH made with your fathers then He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.’ When YHWH raised up His Servant, He sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways."
Yahusha’s blood brought us into the “renewed covenant” prophesied in Jeremiah 31:31-37.
Behold, the days are coming, declares YHWH, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt— a covenant they broke, though I was a husband to them, declares YHWH."
"But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares YHWH, I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their ELOHIM, and they will be My people. No longer will each man teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know YHWH,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares YHWH. For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more."
Yahusha revealing Himself to men through the Torah and Prophets.
"Then YAHUSHA said to them, “O foolish ones, how slow are your hearts to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary for the Mashiach to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself."
Yahusha speaking to His disciples that all had to be fulfilled written in Torah and Prophets.
YAHUSHA said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms." Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
"And He told them, “This is what is written: The Mashiach will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things."
"And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."
Prophecy fulfilled from Ezekiel 36:22-32.
"Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what YHWH ELOHIM says: It is not for your sake that I will act, O house of Israel, but for My holy name, which you profaned among the nations to which you went." I will show the holiness of My great name, which has been profaned among the nations—the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am YHWH, declares YHWH ELOHIM, when I show My holiness in you before their eyes."
"For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and I will bring you back into your own land. I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances."
"Then you will live in the land that I gave your forefathers; you will be My people, and I will be your ELOHIM. I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will summon the grain and make it plentiful, and I will not bring famine upon you. I will also make the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field plentiful, so that you will no longer bear reproach among the nations on account of famine."
"Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and abominations. It is not for your sake that I will act, declares YHWH ELOHIM—let it be known to you. Be ashamed and disgraced for your ways, O house of Israel!"
Stephen showing the high priest how Yahuah’s people constantly rejected Him.
"And Stephen declared: “Brothers and fathers, listen to me! YHWH of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran, and told him, ‘Leave your country and your kindred and go to the land I will show you.’ So Abraham left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After his father died, YHWH brought him out of that place and into this land where you are now living."
"He gave him no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground. But YHWH promised to give possession of the land to Abraham and his descendants, even though he did not yet have a child. YHWH told him that his descendants would be foreigners in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years. ‘But I will punish the nation that enslaves them,’ YHWH said, ‘and afterward they will come forth and worship Me in this place.’"
"Then YHWH gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision, and Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day. And Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs."
Joseph Sold into Egypt (ALSO; Genesis 37:12–30)
"Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But YHWH was with him and rescued him from all his troubles. He granted Joseph favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt, who appointed him ruler over Egypt and all his household."
"Then famine and great suffering swept across Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers could not find food. When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers on their first visit. On their second visit, Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers, and his family became known to Pharaoh. Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five in all."
Israel Oppressed in Egypt (ALSO; Exodus 1:8–22)
"So Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and our fathers died. Their bones were carried back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a price he paid in silver."
"As the time drew near for YHWH to fulfill His promise to Abraham, our people in Egypt increased greatly in number. Then another king, who knew nothing of Joseph, arose over Egypt. He exploited our people and oppressed our fathers, forcing them to abandon their infants so they would die."
The Birth and Adoption of Moses (ALSO; Exodus 2:1–10; Hebrews 11:23–29)
"At that time Moses was born, and he was beautiful in the sight of YHWH. For three months he was nurtured in his father’s house. When he was set outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son. So Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action."
The Rejection and Flight of Moses (ALSO; Exodus 2:11–22)
"When Moses was forty years old, he decided to visit his brothers, the children of Israel. And when he saw one of them being mistreated, Moses went to his defense and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian who was oppressing him. He assumed his brothers would understand that YHWH was using him to deliver them, but they did not."
"The next day he came upon two Israelites who were fighting, and he tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. Why are you mistreating each other?’" But the man who was abusing his neighbor pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us? Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’ At this remark, Moses fled to the land of Midian, where he lived as a foreigner and had two sons."
The Call of Moses (ALSO; Exodus 3:1–22)
"After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai. When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight. As he approached to look more closely, the voice of YHWH came to him: ‘I am the ELOHIM of your fathers, the ELOHIM of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.’ Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look."
"Then YHWH said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground. I have indeed seen the oppression of My people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.’ This Moses, whom they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’ is the one whom YHWH sent to be their ruler and redeemer through the angel who appeared to him in the bush."
"He led them out and performed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, at the Red Sea, and for forty years in the wilderness." This is the same Moses who told the Israelites, ‘YHWH will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.’ He was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. And he received living words to pass on to us."
The Rebellion of Israel (Also; Exodus 32:1–35; Deuteronomy 9:7–29; Amos 5:16–27)
"But our fathers refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt. They said to Aaron, ‘Make us elohim who will go before us! As for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.’"
"At that time they made a calf and offered a sacrifice to the idol, rejoicing in the works of their hands. But YHWH turned away from them and gave them over to the worship of the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: ‘Did you bring Me sacrifices and offerings
forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? You have taken along the tabernacle of Molech and the star of your god Rephan, the idols you made to worship. Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.’"
The Tabernacle of the Testimony (Exodus 40:1–33; Hebrews 9:1–10)
"Our fathers had the tabernacle of the Testimony with them in the wilderness. It was constructed exactly as YHWH had directed Moses, according to the pattern he had seen. And our fathers who received it brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations YHWH drove out before them. It remained until the time of David, who found favor in the sight of YHWH and asked to provide a dwelling place for the ELOHIM Jacob. But it was Solomon who built the house for Him."
"However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:' Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me, says YHWH, or where will My place of repose be? Has not My hand made all these things?’ You stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit, just as your fathers did."
"Which of the prophets did your fathers fail to persecute? They even killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One. And now you are His betrayers and murderers— you who received the law ordained by angels, yet have not kept it."
The Stoning of Stephen
"On hearing this, the members of the Sanhedrin were enraged, and they gnashed their teeth at him. But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently into heaven and saw the glory of YHWH and YAHUSHA standing at the right hand of YHWH. "Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of YHWH."
"At this they covered their ears, cried out in a loud voice, and rushed together at him. They dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile the witnesses laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul."
"While they were stoning him, Stephen appealed, "YAHUSHA, receive my spirit." Falling on his knees, he cried out in a loud voice, “YHWH, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep."
The blood of our Messiah was shed to bring near those who were far off (House of Israel)! Fellow citizens of the household of Elohim (children of Israel).
"For we are YHWH’s workmanship, created in MESSIAH YAHUSHA to do good works, which YHWH prepared in advance as our way of life."
One in MESSIAH YAHUSHA (ALSO; Philippians 2:1–4)
"Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands)— remember that at that time you were separate from YAHUSHA, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without YHWH in the world. But now in MESSIAH YAHUSHA you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of YAHUSHA."
"For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He extinguished their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit."
YAHUSHA Our Cornerstone (ALSO; Isaiah 28:14–22; 1 Corinthians 3:10–15; 1 Peter 2:1–8)
"Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of YHWH’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with MESSIAH YAHUSHA Himself as the cornerstone. In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in YHWH. And in Him you too are being built together into a dwelling place for YAHUAH in His Spirit."
Prophesy of Ezekiel 36:22-32 fulfilled.
Yahusha The Messiah, The Word made flesh, came as The Prophet to bring the children of Israel back to Yahuah.
REDEMPTION-The act of being saved from sin/error (going astray) (READ Luke 1:68-75.)
DOES THE TORAH APPLY TO ME???
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to complete. For truly, I say to you, till heaven and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done. Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so shall be called least in the reign of the heavens; but whoever does and taches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter into the reign of the heavens." Matthew 5:17-20
SOJOURNER- References in the scriptures regarding a person not born into the bloodline of Israel (native-born descendant of Israel), but who made the choice to join themselves to Israel of free will.
