It is written and "rodu#ed in the "ubli# interest to awa%en and ma%e Christianity aware of the lies and the distortion of fa#ts in history and do#trine of the body of believers of ,ahshua the Messiah.

$+t&or/s Note' Most /#ri"tures 'uoted in this boo% are from 0.*. 1reen+s Interlinear 2ible of the 3ld and New Testament. It is #om"osed of the ori!inal 4ebrew and 1ree% manus#ri"ts with a literal word5for5word translation. It is essential for !ettin! to the truth. 6 few /#ri"tures were also translated from the 7in! 0ames or 6uthori&ed 8ersion. The ori!inal names of our Creator, ,ahweh, and his /on, our /avior, ,ahshua, are also used throu!hout. The name ,ahweh or ,484 is in the ori!inal 4ebrew manus#ri"ts 9,:2$ times. 6lmost every translation on earth, in#ludin! the 7in! 0ames, ta%es out the Creator+s "ersonal name and re"la#es it with the name ;ord, a !eneri# title that means 2aal or Master. 6lso, our /aviour<s true !iven 4ebrew name, ,ahshua, whi#h means "Yah is salvation" is #han!ed to a 1ree% hybrid of Jesus, whi#h is a "oor transliteration from the 1ree% IE-Zeus or Sous. The =n!lish transliteration of ,ahshua would be the e'uivalent to 0oshua. There was no letter >0> in any lan!ua!e until the 19th #entury. /o the 1ree% name >Jesus" would not be the name of our /aviour. The third #ommandment stri#tly forbids ta%in! ,ahweh+s name in 0ain. In vain, literally means to #han!e, falsify, or ma%e #ommon. Ta%in! the name ,ahweh or ,ahshua and #han!in! it to ;ord or 0esus is definitely !oin! a!ainst the #lear instru#tion of the third #ommandment. /o we will use the ori!inal, true 4ebrew names of the ?ather ,ahweh and the /on ,ahshua in this boo%. We will also use the 4ebrew word, =lohim, instead of 1od.
Intro)+.tion' ?rom the days of Moses there was "ro"hesied of a Messiah to #ome to the nation of Israel to redeem it for the sins bro%en under the first #ovenant. Heb 9:15 And because of this He is Mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having occurred for redemption of transgressions under the first covenant, those being called might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance. Deu 1 :15 !ahweh "our #lohim shall raise up to "ou a prophet from among "ou, of "our brothers, one li$e me% "ou shall listen to him, There have been many false messiahs sin#e Moses #laimin! to be this "romised seed of 6braham throu!h @avid. =veryone from /imon 2ar 7o#hba to /he"tai Aevi has "roved to be false messiahs. Who is the "ro"hesied Messiah of Israel, and how #an you be sure? There are over $00 messiani# "ro"he#ies and only one "erson in the history of Israel has fulfilled all of these. When you loo% at the law of odds and "robability of one man fulfillin! ea#h and every "ro"he#y it is mind sta!!erin!. It is somethin! li%e 100 &illion 'uadrillion to 1B 3nly ,ahshua of Na&areth has fulfilled all $00 "ro"he#ies that were written about the Messiah of Israel. o& 1'32 Sear.& t&e S.ript+res3 *or in t&e4 ye t&in5 ye &a0e eterna-i*e' an) t&ey are t&ey 6&i.& testi*y o* 7e. /o if only ,ahshua of Na&areth fulfilled all these "ro"he#ies than why wouldn+t most "eo"le "lainly be able to see this fa#t?
The answer lies in the history from the early 1 st #entury 6.@. until the early Cth #entury 6.@. The "lain truth of the matter is that all early believers were Israelites, Dmany from the tribe of 0udahE and many 0ews in the first #entury believed that ,ahshua of Na&areth was the "romised Messiah. Act &1:&' And when the" heard it, the" glorified !ahweh, and said unto him, "ou see brother, how man" thousands of (ews there are which believe% and the" are all )ealous of the *orah. Thousands and thousands of 0ews in the first #entury who saw the many si!ns and mira#les that ,ahshua "erformed did believe that 4e was the "romised Messiah. It was not until the 2nd #entury 6.@. when the reli!ion of modern 0udaism was #reated by (abbi 6%iva that 0ews were intimidated by 6%iva not to believe in ,ahshua as Messiah. ,ahshua #laimed the full authority of the Messiah of Israel and so did 6%ivaB it was inevitable that a "roblem would ha""en between the two se#ts of believers. 6%iva distorted the fa#ts about ,ahshua of Na&areth and #onfis#ated the "ro"erty of fellow 0ews that believed in ,ahshua and even had many %illed durin! the 2ar 7o#hba revolt. 6%iva was the one who named 2ar 7o#hba the Messiah, %nowin! well that any believer in ,ahshua would not fi!ht in a holy war for a false Messiah. This !ave 6%iva the authority throu!h the rabbini# #ourt of his day to have the believers of ,ahshua "unished and even "ut to death. D1E 2ut history #learly shows that many 0ews in the first #entury did indeed believe in ,ahshua of Na&areth as the "romised Messiah. Then the Christians under Constantine turned ,ahshua, the 4ebrew Messiah into a 1ree% Messiah early in the fourth #entury. Constantine,
who was a sun worshi"er and a "a!an, a""arently saw a vision of a #ross before a de#isive battle and then #laimed to be a Christian. /oon after his so #alled #onversion, he had his mother and son murdered and #han!ed all of the Torah based laws su#h as /abbath %ee"in! et# to the "a!an #ustoms he had, su#h as /unday worshi" et#. Constantine !athered all Catholi# bisho"s and hierar#hy of his day to a #onferen#e #alled >The Coun#il of Ni#ea>, where he offi#ially #han!ed the /abbath day from /aturday to /unday, and also brou!ht in many other "a!an #ustoms su#h as Christmas and =aster #elebrations whi#h stem from *a!anism and do not have any s#ri"tural su""ort. The birth of the Messiah #ould not have been on @e#ember 2F, as she"herds in Israel would not be in the fields in winter, but @e#ember 2Fth is the day of the "a!an saturnalia, whi#h is ri!ht after the winter solsti#e, where it is believed that the /un !ives birth on that day, and even the word GEasterH is derived from the 2abylonian "a!an !oddess Istar. 6ll of these fa#ts and more are do#umented in my boo% #alled, >The Great Falling Away>.
D1E (abbi 6%ivas Messiah by @an 1ruber sites all the fa#ts of this time in detail.
=ven the name Jesus is from the 1ree% name ie- zeus or sous. The Messiah of Israel was a 4ebrew. 4e was an Israelite from the tribe of 0udahB 4e was not 1ree% and did not have a 1ree% name. =very name in 4ebrew has s"e#ial meanin!. @aniel means =l is my ud!e, =li ah means ,ahweh is my =l. There is not a name in 4ebrew that does not have a root meanin! to the name. ,ahshua means 8a&6e&/s sa-0ation and it was "ro"hesied that the Messiah of Israel would have the name of ,ahweh the ?ather in heaven, in 4is name.
#+o &,:&' -ehold, . am about to send a Messenger before "ou, to guard "ou in the wa", and to bring "ou to the place which . have prepared. #+o &,:&1 -e on guard before Him, and listen to His voice. Do not be rebellious against Him, for He will not forgive "our sins% for M" name is in Him /o very #learly it was "ro"hesied that the name of ,ahweh would also be in the name of the Messiah. 0esus has no etymolo!y or meanin! to it. It is a 1ree% hybrid name that has no ori!inal meanin! to itB where as the name ,ahshua, Dwhich in the original e!rew "eans Yahweh#s salvationE tells e.a#tly the ob that the Messiah of Israel will do. 4e will be the salvation of Israel. Israelites were fun#tional "eo"le. The name of the Creator when first as%ed by Moses was revealed as, I a" that I a", or better rendered in the ori!inal 4ebrew,"I e$ist>. When ,ahweh was as%ed 4is name, 4e told not only 4is name ,ahweh, but what 4e does, > e e$ists.> Today in the west we do not thin% fun#tionally li%e an#ient Israelites, but with more of a 1ree% mind set. The 1ree% mind thin%s more of what somethin! is instead of what somethin! %oes. Thin% fun#tionally for a momentB if you lived in the first #entury 6.@. and you saw the Messiah of Israel in 1alilee, do you su""ose 4e would have a 1ree% name or a 4ebrew one? 3f #oarse 4e would have a 4ebrew one. The Messiah of Israel was named ,ahshua DYahweh#s salvationE not 0esus whi#h has no etymolo!y. This is a very im"ortant fa#t as you will see later in this boo%, but for now let me do!mati#ally "rove to you from s#ri"ture that the Messiah of Israel had a 4ebrew name and not a 1ree% name.
If you loo% in 6#ts the 29th #ha"ter, you will see The 6"ostle *aul re#ountin! to 7in! 6!ri""a about how he dis#overed the Messiah of Israel on the road to @amas#us. Act 26:14 And all of us falling to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me, and saying in the Hebre dialect, !aul, !aul hy do you persecute "e# It is hard for you to kick against the prods$ Act 26:1% And I said, &ho are you, !ir# And He said, I am 'ahshua hom you persecute( It is most interestin! to note that ,ahshua s"o%e to *aul in the 4ebrew diale#t, and also "lease note that there is no letter "&" in 4ebrew and there was no letter "&" in any lan!ua!e until the 19th #entury. Clearly if ,ahshua was s"ea%in! to *aul in 4ebrew, 4e would have !iven 4is 4ebrew name. This is fun#tional thin%in!. 6lso loo% at what the an!el told Mary about the name of the /avior in the boo% of Mathew. Mat 1:21 And she will bear a son, and you shall call His name !ahshua, for He shall save His people from their sins. Yahshua means Salvation. Since Joseph was Jewish and spo e !ebrew, "t only ma es sense that the an#el who came to Joseph would have spo en to him in !ebrew. "t also stands to reason that the an#el would have used the !ebrew name Yahshua which means $to save or simply salvation since he was spea in# to Joseph in !ebrew. "t is totally illo#ical that the an#el would have used a %ree name such as $Jesus, that does not even have meanin# to a !ebrew person such as Joseph. In this boo% what I aim to do is to reveal to you ,ahshua the true Messiah of Israel. I aim to brin! to li!ht what 6%iva and Constantine have tried to hide many hundreds of years a!o. I aim to re#laim to the
0ewish nation and the Israelites who are still livin! in @ias"ora their true Messiah who #ame to their nation to redeem them ba#% to the ori!inal #ovenant "romises of 6braham. Come follow me as we redis#over the truth that has been sadly hidden from so many, for so many years. ;et us not ta%e man+s word for it, let us not ta%e our traditional view"oints that #an not be "roven from s#ri"ture, but instead let us read dire#tly from the bible to see who the true Messiah of Israel is.
Part 9: (&y t&e nee) *or a 7essia&
There has never been a nation in the history of the world that had lost it+s homeland for more than 2,F00 years and then re5emer!ed from its an#ient form. That is until 1JC:. That is the year that Israel re!ained its an#ient land and its an#ient lan!ua!e and its an#ient "romises. Why did these thin!s have to ha""en after so many years, and what is ne.t for the nation of Israel? The reason that Israel be#ame a nation after over 2,F00 years has to do with the "romises made to one man over $,:00 years a!o in an#ient Meso"otamia. That man+s name is 6braham. 2e#ause of the #ovenant that the Creator of the universe Dwho is na"e% YA 'E in the !i!leE made to 6braham, there are three thin!s that #an never #han!e as lon! as this earth e.ists. 1E THE PEOPLE : ,64W=4, =lohim made a "romise that the #ovenant that 4e would ma%e would be with the seed of 6braham. /en 10:0 And . will establish M" covenant between Me and "ou, and "our seed after "ou in their generations,
for an everlasting covenant, to be an #lohim to "ou and to "our seed after "ou. 2ut the "romise of the everlastin! #ovenant was not ust to any son of 6braham, but one son in "arti#ular. /en 10:19 And #lohim said, !our wife 1arah trul" shall bear "ou a son, and "ou shall call his name .saac. And . have established M" covenant with him for a perpetual covenant with his seed after him. 8ery #learly from s#ri"ture it was 6braham+s son Isaa# whom the "romise of the everlastin! #ovenant would #ome throu!h. Then the "romise was to !o throu!h Isaa#, to his son 0a#ob, whose name was #han!ed to Israel. Israel then had 12 sons who are #alled in s#ri"ture the 4ouse or /ons of Israel. The modern day 0ews are one of the des#endants of one of the 12 sons of Israel whose name was 0udah. The other sons of Israel are still s#attered around the earth in @ias"ora today. 2sa 1'5:5 3emember His wonders that He has done, His miracles, and the 4udgments of His mouth, 2sa 1'5:5 6 seed of His servant Abraham% 6 sons of (acob, His elect. 2sa 1'5:0 He is !ahweh our #lohim% His 4udgments are in all the earth% 2sa 1'5: He has remembered His covenant forever% the 7ord He commanded to a thousand generations% 2sa 1'5:9 which He cut with Abraham, and His oath to .saac% 2sa 1'5:1' and He established it to (acob for a statute, to .srael for a perpetual covenant% 2sa 1'5:11 sa"ing, *o "ou . will give the land of 8anaan, the portion of "our inheritance%

2E THE L$ND : 2esides the everlastin! #ovenant always bein! with the Children of Israel, there is another everlastin! "oint about this #ovenant that ,ahweh, the Creator of the universe, made with 6braham. /en 1&:5 And Abram passed through the land as far as the place of 1hechem, to the 6a$ of Moreh. And the 8anaanite was then in the land. /en 1&:0 And !AH7#H appeared to Abram and said, . will give this land to "our seed. And he built an altar there to !AH7#H, who appeared to him. *art of this #ovenant a!reement was that ,ahweh, the Creator of the universe, would !ive the land of Canaan Dlater to !e change% to the lan% o( IsraelE to the des#endants of 6braham throu!h Isaa# and Israel. /en 1,:19 And after :ot had separated from him, !AH7#H said to Abram, ;ow lift up "our e"es and loo$ northward and southward and eastward and westward from the place where "ou are. /en 1,:15 <or all the land which "ou see . will give to "ou, and to "our seed alwa"s. /en 1,:15 And . will ma$e "our seed as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then "our seed also will be counted. This was the same land that 0oshua the attendant of Moses brou!ht the #hildren of Israel to C$0 years later. Deu ,9:1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount ;ebo, the top of 2isgah, which is opposite (ericho. And !AH7#H caused him to see all the land% /ilead to Dan%
11
Deu ,9:& and all ;aphtali, and the land of #phraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of (udah to the sea be"ond% Deu ,9:, and the ;egev, and the plain of the valle" of (ericho, the cit" of palm trees, to =oar. Deu ,9:9 And !AH7#H said to him, *his is the land which . have sworn to Abraham, to .saac, and to (acob, sa"ing, . will give it to "our seed. . have caused "ou to see with "our e"es, but "ou shall not cross over there. Clearly, the "romise made to the 4ouse of Israel was eternal life in the "romised land of Israel. Never did ,ahweh "romise man%ind that 4e would inherit heaven or any other "la#e than the "hysi#al land of Israel. Those who are worthy to rule with the Messiah of Israel in 4is millennium %in!dom will be rulin! on earth from the "hysi#al land of Israel, in the #ity of 0erusalem. ;e0 1'9! an) 4a)e +s 5in%s an) priests to o+r E-o&i43 an) 6e s&a-rei%n o0er t&e eart&.

:u$ 1:0, *he oath which He swore to our father Abraham, :u$ 1:09 *hat He would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve Him without fear, :u$ 1:05 .n holiness and righteousness before Him, all the da"s of our life. :u$ 1:00 *o give $nowledge of salvation unto His people b" the remission of their sins, Man%ind fell from !ra#e sin#e 6dam and =ve re e#ted our 4eavenly ?ather+s law ba#% in the 1arden of =den. 3ur 4eavenly ?ather had a udi#ial order to #reation how everythin! should be done. There is udi#ial order to time and the rotation of the sun and the moon and the earth, so that we %now when there is a new day and month and year. /o li%ewise the Creator ,ahweh made udi#ial order to food. 4e #reated #ertain food !ood to eat su#h as fruits and "lants and #ertain foods 4e made abominable, su#h as #ertain animals li%e the "i! and the rat. =verythin! 4e #reated was !ood and nothin! that 4e #reated was to be #han!ed. There are #ertain 4ebrew words that are only used for =lohim, and G!arah, whi#h means to create, is one of these words. ,ou will never see the word G!arahH, Dto #reateE used in the bible for a human, only for =lohim. 4umans were not #reators but are #reated. The ob of humans was to %ee" #reation as ,ahweh #reated it, not to #han!e it a##ordin! to what 4e thou!ht it should be. This was ,ahweh+s udi#ial order at #reation. When 6dam and =ve de#ided to #hoose for themselves what food was !ood to eat and what food was not, in essen#e they re e#ted ,ahweh+s ruler shi" over them and they re e#ted 4is udi#ial order. They wanted to
1J
be #reators whi#h ,ahweh did not #reate them to be. This is when the very first Messiani# s#ri"ture o##urs ri!ht after the fall of man%ind. /en ,:15 And . will put enmit" between "ou and the woman, and between "our seed and her 1eed% He will bruise "our head, and "ou shall bruise His heel. (i!ht from this "oint it was "ro"hesied that ,ahweh would defeat satan who tem"ted man%ind with his fall. Then the "ro"he#y thou!h, would !o throu!h one linea!e, that of 6braham, Isaa# and Israel, and then later throu!h 7in! @avid to the Messiah. The fall of man #ame be#ause he did not totally trust ,ahweh 100K for every de#ision that he would ma%e. It ta%es faith to totally trust that every sin!le word of s#ri"ture is ins"ired by ,ahweh and is "rofitable in our life. &*i ,:15 All 1cripture is given b" inspiration of !ahweh, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: &*i ,:10 *hat the man of !ahweh ma" be perfect, thoroughl" furnished unto all good wor$s. Mat 9:9 -ut He answered and said, .t is written, Man shall not live b" bread alone, but b" ever" word that proceeds out of the mouth of !ahweh. 6braham showed this faith in the Creator ,ahweh by followin! everythin! that the Creator said without 'uestionin! 4is word at all, even to the "oint of sa#rifi#in! his only son Isaa#. Heb 11:10 -" faith, being tested, Abraham offered up .saac% and he receiving the promises was offering up the onl" begotten,

Heb 11:1 as to whom it was said, D.n .saac "our 1eed shall be called%D ?/en. &1:1&@ Heb 11:19 rec$oning that !ahweh was able to raise even from the dead% from where indeed he obtained him in a parable. What faith 6braham had in ,ahweh the CreatorL 6nd believe me, this was not blind faith. 6braham was not ust !oin! to %ill his son for the sa%e of it, but as 4ebrews 11-1J states that he %new Gthat Yahweh was a!le to raise his son Isaac (ro" the %ea%, if 4e had to. 6braham showed su#h !reat faith, that in sa#rifi#in! his only sonB this was a "roto5ty"e of what ,ahweh the ?ather was !oin! to do in sa#rifi#in! is only Son. 6braham was not only showin! faith in ,ahweh but he was showin! faith in the resurre#tion and Isaa# was a "roto5ty"e of the Messiah of Israel. /en &&:5 And Abraham too$ the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on his son .saac% and he too$ the fire and the $nife in his hand. And the two went together. /en &&:0 And .saac spo$e to his father Abraham and said, M" father. And he said, -ehold me. And he said, -ehold, the fire and the woodE -ut where is the lamb for a burnt offeringC /en &&: And Abraham said, M" son, #lohim will provide the lamb for Himself, for a burnt offering. And the two of them went together. 0ust as ,ahshua of Na&areth, the only true Messiah of Israel would do later, so Isaa# as the "roto5ty"e, even #arried the woo% on his ba#% as ,ahshua #arried the cross !ea" for 4is own #ru#ifi.ion. ,ahweh would not #ause 6braham to sa#rifi#e his only son, but as 6braham said
21
>Elohi" will )rovi%e> as 4e did by sendin! is only Son ,ahshua to die for the sins #ommitted under the first #ovenant. (oh ,:15 <or !ahweh so loved the world that He gave His onl" begotten 1on, that ever"one believing into Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. The "lan of ,ahweh sin#e the 1arden of =den was to redeem man%ind ba#% to 4imself for rebellin! a!ainst 4is udi#ial order that 4e made at #reation. This was to be done by sendin! 4is messen!er, 4is ri!ht hand man so to s"ea%, to "ay the "enalty of the sins that were #ommitted by man%ind. .sa 59:1 -ehold, the hand of !ahweh is not shortened from saving, nor is His ear heav" from hearing. .sa 59:& -ut "our iniBuities are coming between "ou and "our #lohim% and "our sins have hidden His face from "ou, from hearing. .sa 59:11 7e all of us roar li$e bears, and moaning we moan li$e doves. 7e loo$ for 4ustice, but there is none% for, !ahshua ?salvation@ but He is far from us. .sa 59:1& <or our rebellions are multiplied before !ou, and our sins testif" against us. <or our transgressions are with us, and we $now our iniBuities% .sa 59:1, transgressing and l"ing against !ahweh, and bac$sliding from our #lohim, spea$ing oppression and revolt, conceiving and murmuring words of falsehood from the heart.

.sa 59:19 And 4ustice is driven bac$% and righteousness stands far off% for truth stumbles in the pla)a, and right is not able to enter. .sa 59:15 And the truth is lac$ing% and whoever turns from evil ma$es himself a pre". And !ahweh saw% and it was evil in His e"es, that there was no 4ustice. .sa 59:15 And He saw that there was no man, and He was astonished that there was no intercessor. And His own arm saved for Him% and His righteousness sustained Him. .sa 59:10 <or He put on righteousness li$e armour, and the helmet of !ahshua on His head. And He put on robes of vengeance as clothing% and He put on )eal li$e a mantle. 2e#ause of the faith of 6braham, ,ahweh #hose that the Messiah of Israel would be born from the seed of 4is loins and not only ust any seed, but throu!h the seed of "romise who was Isaa#. /al ,:15 -ut the promises were spo$en to Abraham and to his 1eed ?it does not sa", And to seeds, as of man", but as of one, DAnd to "our 1eed,D which is Messiah@. The "romised Messiah was !oin! to #ome throu!h the seed of 6braham throu!h Isaa# throu!h 0a#ob Dwhose name was #han!ed to IsraelE. This is why ,ahweh made #ovenant relationshi" only with the nation of Israel, be#ause it was throu!h the "romise of faithful 6braham that salvation DYahshua "eans salvationE would #ome to the world throu!h the nation of Israel, in the form of the Messiah of Israel. ;oo% at what it says in Isaiah about the redem"tive wor% of the Messiah of Israel.

In order to truly understand what ,ahweh is doin! today you have to thin% in terms of #ovenants and NOT reli!ion. 6 #ovenant is an a!reement by two "arties where both "arties have a #ertain obli!ation to fulfill. Covenants are most sa#red and bindin! and the blood #ovenant is the most sa#red of all #ovenant relationshi"s. ,ahweh made a #ovenant with 6braham and with the nation of Israel at Mount /inai. That is why sin#e Mount /inai ,ahweh is wor%in! with the nation and des#endants of Israel. It doesn+t mean that 4e does not #are for all other "eo"le be#ause 4e truly does, but everythin! within 4is udi#ial order. 4e is firstly wor%in! with the nation of Israel and then in the millennial 7in!dom 4e will ma%e #ovenant with all nations on earth at that time. Amo ,:1 Hear this 7ord that !ahweh has spo$en against "ou, sons of .srael, against all the famil" which . brought up from the land of #g"pt, sa"ing:
2C
Amo ,:&a !ou onl" have . $nown of all the families of the earth. *resently ,ahweh has only made #ovenant with the nation of Israel, but in the millennium 4e will ma%e #ovenant with all nations. .sa 55:19 And . will set a sign among them, and . will send those who escape from them to the nations of *arshish, 2ul, and :ud, drawers of the bow% to *ubal and (avan, to the far awa" coasts that have not heard M" fame nor seen M" glor".

In the millennial 7in!dom all nations will be in #ovenant relationshi", but until then, only the nation of Israel has ,ahweh #hosen to be in #ovenant with 4im. This does not mean that someone who is a !entile from the nations #an not oin the New Covenant and be#ome a seed of 6braham and enter #ovenant relationshi" with ,ahweh. /al ,:&5 for "ou are all sons of !ahweh through faith in Messiah !ahshua. /al ,:&0 <or as man" as were bapti)ed into Messiah, "ou put on Messiah. /al ,:& *here cannot be (ew nor /ree$, there is no slave nor freeman, there is no male and female% for "ou are all one in Messiah !ahshua.
2F
/al ,:&9 And if "ou are of Messiah, then "ou are a seed of Abraham, even heirs according to promise. Throu!h faith in the Messiah of Israel, when someone is immersed into 4is name, then that "erson be#omes a seed of 6braham Dan IsraeliteE and an heir of the "romise of 6braham to have eternal life in the land of Israel. 2ut "lease !et this fa#t strai!ht in your mind that all #ovenant relationshi"s in s#ri"ture are only ith Israelites of the seed of Abraham. Mntil the millennium there are no #ovenant relationshi"s in s#ri"ture for !entilesB only that !entiles #an oin themselves to the 4ouse of Israel. .sa 19:1 <or !ahweh will have pit" on (acob, and will "et choose among .srael, and set them in their own land.

The New Covenant is not with !entiles and it is not with the #hur#h, but it with the nation of Israel. Heb : <or finding fault, He said to them, D-ehold, da"s are coming, sa"s !ahweh, and . will ma$e an end on the house of .srael and on the house of (udah% a new covenant shall be, Heb :9 not according to the covenant which . made with their fathers in the da" of M" ta$ing hold of their hand to lead them out of the land of #g"pt% because the" did not continue in M" covenant, and . did not regard them, sa"s !ahweh.

That is why in the 1st #entury 6.@. there was so mu#h e."e#tation of a 0ewish Messiah, bein! that it was the des#endants of Israel that went into #ovenant relationshi" with ,ahweh the Creator and it was the des#endants of Israel that bro%e #ovenant relationshi" with the Creator ,ahweh. /o it was only the 4ouse of Israel that had a death "enalty waitin! for them for brea%in! that #ovenant. This does not mean that there is no "enalty for sinnin! for the !entiles, as s#ri"ture "lainly statesB

Heb : <or finding fault with them, ?the fault was with the people not the torah@ he sa"s, -ehold, the da"s come, sa"s !ahweh, when . will ma$e a new covenant with the house of .srael and with the house of (udah: 3om 0:1& 1o indeed the :aw is hol", and the commandment hol" and 4ust and good. 3om 0:19 <or we $now that the law is spiritual: but . am carnal, sold under sin. /o when sin would enter by brea%in! the a!reement, there was no way to have those sins removed under the first #ovenantB there was only one way, on ,om 7i""ur, to have them #overed and #arried over until the ne.t year, waitin! in all anti#i"ation for the Messiah of Israel to #ome and finally "ay the "enalty and remove them #om"letely. =ven the word -i))ur means >to cover,> not >re"oveB> the sins were #overed on this day, but not removed until the "enalty was "aid for. This is why a "riesthood had to be added to the ori!inal Torah that was !iven in the 1arden of =den. In the 1arden of =den, before sin entered,
$F
there was no need for a "riesthood or sa#rifi#ial system, but on#e sin entered, now ,ahweh used the "riesthood as a way to redeem fallen man ba#% to him. The word >sacri(ice> in =n!lish, !ives the #onnotation of >the giving u) o( so"ething+" where the 4ebrew word for sa#rifi#e "-or!an> a#tually means, >to %raw closer to through relationshi).> Mltimately the Messiah of Israel was !oin! to be the 4i!h *riest of a 4eavenly order to redeem the "eo"le under the 3ld Covenant and draw them ba#% into #ovenant relationshi" with ,ahweh. 2ut until that time, ,ahweh needed a brid!e to !et the "eo"le throu!h the 3ld Covenant a!reement in 1CCF 2.C. under Moses, until the Messiah of Israel would be born in $ 2.C. This brid!e was #alled the ;eviti#al "riesthood. 6lso re#o!ni&e that when ,ahweh too% the #hildren of Israel out of =!y"t, 4e said nothin! #on#ernin! a "riesthood or sa#rifi#es for sin, until the !olden #alf in#ident in =.odus $2. (er 0:&1 1o sa"s !ahweh of Hosts, the #lohim of .srael: Add "our burnt offerings to "our sacrifices and eat flesh. (er 0:&& <or . did not spea$ to "our fathers, nor command them in the da" that . brought them out from the land of #g"pt, concerning matters of burnt offerings and sacrifices.

Also, 7al$ in all the wa"s that . have commanded "ou, so that it ma" be well with "ou. 3ri!inally ,ahweh was !oin! to have ea#h man who was head of his family to be "riest over his family, but after the !olden #alf in#ident only ;evi was allowed to be "riests, instead of their Israelite brothers.

#+o 19:5 And "ou shall become a $ingdom of priests for Me, a hol" nation. *hese are the words which "ou shall spea$ to the sons of .srael. The ;evites were re"resentin! the first fruits of the /ons of Israel. They were a tem"orary "riesthood that was added be#ause of the !reatness of the sins of the sons of Israel. /al ,:10 And . sa" this, A covenant having been ratified before to Messiah b" #lohim, the :aw coming into being four hundred and thirt" "ears after, does not annul the promise, so as to abolish it. /al ,:19 7h" the :aw thenC .t was added for the sa$e of transgressions, until the 1eed should come, to whom it had been promised, being ordained through angels in a mediator>s hand. What was the only law added to the Torah after Mount /inai? It was the ;eviti#al "riesthood. If you loo% at the #ovenant a!reement in the boo% of =.odus, u" until #ha"ter 2C when the #ovenant is ratified you do not see anythin! about the ;eviti#al order of the "riesthood bein! re"resentative for the "eo"le until after the #ovenant was ratified in #ha"ter 2C. Many Christians falsely assume that this law is in#lusively s"ea%in! about the whole Torah and that the Torah is no lon!er ne#essary to be %e"t sin#e the Messiah of Israel has #ome. This #ould not be further from the truth and is another lie of the devil. The law in 1alatians $-1J #an not be tal%in! about the whole Torah but is only tal%in! about the one "art of the law that was added be#ause of sin, whi#h is the ;eviti#al "riesthood with the sin offerin!s.
$I
This is very easy to "roof if you loo% at the fa#t that in verse 1I it states that whatever law is s"o%en about in verse 1J that it was added ./0 years a(ter the covenant agree"ent with 6braham. /o the law that is bein! referred to in verse 1J is a law that was not with 6braham C$0 years before, but was added at Mount /inai C$0 years after the a!reement with 6braham. This "roves it #ould not be s"ea%in! about the Torah as 6braham was blessed by ,ahweh with the everlastin! #ovenant a!reement be#ause 6braham obeyed ,ahweh+s Torah and %e"t 4is #ommandments and his statutes and laws. /en &5:9 And . will increase "our seed li$e the stars of the heavens, and . will give to "our seed all these lands. And all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves in "our 1eed, /en &5:5 because Abraham listened to M" voice and $ept M" charge, M" commandments, M" statutes, and M" *orah. Clearly this "roves that the Torah was NOT added at Mount /inai, if 6braham was %ee"in! it C$0 years before. The only law that was added at Mount /inai was the ;eviti#al "riesthood and the sa#rifi#ial system under it. This is the law that was abolished u"on the Messiah+s return and was no lon!er ne#essary as it was merely a ty"e of the true until the "riesthood #ould be formally #han!ed from the ty"e D1eviteE to the reality D2elchize%ecE. 6nother interestin! "oint about 1enesis 29-F, in the ori!inal 4ebrew it literally states that 6braham )reserve% ,ahweh+s Torah and #ommandments. 6braham+s ob was to "reserve the Torah to his son Isaa#, who "reserved it to his son 0a#ob and then 0a#ob "reserved it to the 12 tribes of Israel, but when they were #a"tive in =!y"t they lost the laws of the Torah and they had to be re5instituted a!ain at Mount /inai. The only law that was never !iven to 6braham but was now added at Mount /inai was the ;eviti#al *riesthood with all the animal sa#rifi#es

whi#h would only last until the Messiah would #ome and the "riesthood would #han!e from ;evi to Mel#hi&ede#. 0ohn the 2a"tist was the son of Aa#hariah the "riest. In ;u%e the first #ha"ter Aa#hariah was burnin! in#ense on the altar when the #herub 1abriel a""eared to himB only someone who was either hi!h "riest or in line to be hi!h "riest would do su#h an im"ortant ob. When you loo% at the !enealo!y of Aa#hariah you will see that he was indeed in a "riestly line and 0ohn the 2a"tist who was truly a ri!hteous man was in line to follow as "ossible 4i!h "riest under the ;eviti#al order. :u$ 1: And it happened in his serving as priest in the order of his course before !ahweh, :u$ 1:9 according to the custom of the priests, entering into the Hol" 2lace of the Almight", it was =acharias> lot to burn incense. 0ohn the 2a"tist was the last of the 3ld Covenant "ro"hets and last "riest of ;evi to have the le!al ri!ht to the 4i!h *riesthood, as in his day many of the "riests were not ;evites and some even =domites as 4erod was and bou!ht their way into the "riesthood. :u$ 15:15 *he :aw and the 2rophets were until (ohn% from then the $ingdom of !ahweh is being preached, and ever"one is pressing into it. This did not mean that the Torah was no lon!er bindin! after 0ohn the 2a"tist, but merely that he was the last 3ld Covenant "ro"het and from then on the "riesthood would be #han!ed in the New Covenant to Mel#hi&ede# "riesthood in whi#h ,ahshua is 4i!h *riest from.
$J
That is why ,ahshua had to be ba"ti&ed from 0ohn for the sa%e of udi#ial order and the offi#ial orderly #han!in! over of the "riesthood from ;evi to Mel#hi&ede#. In the ori!inal "lan of our 4eavenly ?ather, 4e had "lanned that ea#h family head would be a "riest to his own family. We also see that in an#ient Israel that there was a "romise of 7in!shi" to 7in! @avid for his des#endant to be a 7in! forever on the throne of @avid. @ue to man+s sins the ?ather se"arated the 7in!shi" from the "riesthood, but ori!inally this was not 4is intent and we see in the millennial 7in!dom that the ones who will be rulin! with 7in! Messiah will be both 7in!s and *riests. 3ev 5:1' and made us $ings and priests to our #lohim% and we shall reign over the earth. This is an im"ortant fa#t to remember, that 7in! Messiah of Israel will be both 7in! and "riest but not as a ;evite, but under the 4i!her order of Mel#hi&ede#.

It was on this 6%ra hill that /olomon had his "ala#e. To the north of this hill was another hill #alled the 3"hel in whi#h the tem"le or san#tuary of ,ahweh was built. In between these two hills was a small valley that was #alled the Millo, whi#h in 4ebrew means >(ill in." 7in! /olomon filled in the Millo and made the 6%ra and the 3"hel #onne#ted to!ether into one mountain ran!e. 1Ai 9:&9 -ut the daughter of 2haraoh went up out of the cit" of David to her house that he built for her% then he built Millo.

This is a-ty)ical of the Messiah of Israel. ,ahweh #reated man to be both 7in! and "riest, but when man sinned he fell from !ra#e. Now /olomon who was ty"ified as the Messiah #om"a#ted the two hills of 6%ra, re"resentin! the 4ouse of @avid the 7in!, and the 3"hel, on whi#h the tem"le or san#tuary was built, whi#h re"resented the "riesthood.

Part 2: (&o is t&e 7essia& o* Israe-=
Now that we %now why the Messiah of Israel had to #ome, let us start to loo% at all the different "ro"hesies written about the Messiah to #learly identify who 4e is. .sa 9&:1 -ehold M" 1ervant% . will uphold Him% M" #lect in whom M" soul delightsE . have put M" 1pirit on Him% He shall bring forth 4ustice to the nations. .sa 9&:& He shall not cr", nor lift up, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.

Deu 1,:1 .f a prophet or a dreamer of dreams rises among "ou, and gives "ou a sign or a wonder, Deu 1,:& and the sign or the wonder which he spo$e to "ou occurs, sa"ing, :et us go after other #lohim>s which "ou have not $nown, and let us serve them, Deu 1,:, "ou shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams. <or !ahweh "our #lohim is testing "ou, to $now if "ou love !ahweh "our #lohim with all "our heart and with all "our soul.

"our #lohim has commanded "ou to wal$. And "ou shall put awa" evil from among "ou. If anyone #omes, de#larin! the Torah is done away with, even if he shall do some sort of mira#le, he #an not be the Messiah of Israel. What about ,ahshua of Na&areth, did 4e "rea#h that the Torah was done away with? The first thin! to reali&e is that the Christian #on#e"t of the Torah bein! done away with is totally uns#ri"tural and was never "rea#hed by ,ahshua of Na&areth. If ,ahshua of Na&areth "rea#hed about the Torah bein! done away with, than 4e #ould not be the Messiah of Israel. 2ut loo% at what ,ahshua said about the Torah from 4is own words. Mat 5:10 Do not thin$ that . came to do awa" with the *orah or the 2rophets% . did not come to do awa" with, but to fulfill. Mat 5:1 *rul" . sa" to "ou, Hntil the heaven and the earth pass awa", in no wa" shall one iota or one point pass awa" from the *orah until all comes to pass.

Mat 5:&' <or . sa" to "ou, .f "our righteousness shall not e+ceed that of the scribes and 2harisees, "ou shall not enter into the $ingdom of #lohim, neverE Clearly, ,ahshua never tau!ht that the Torah was done away with, but the very o""osite, that the Torah would abide forever.
CI
The 4elleni&ed Christian Jesus who is "ortrayed as doin! away with the Torah is not the same fi!ure as the 4ebrew Yahshua of Na&areth who was a 0ew, from the 4ouse of @avid, who didn+t #ome to annul the Torah but to fulfill it. ;et us loo% at some other s#ri"tures about the Messiah of Israel and see if ,ahshua of Na&areth is indeed the "romised Messiah of Israel. Mic 5:& And "ou, -ethlehem #phratah, being least among the thousands of (udah, out of "ou He shall come forth to Me to become 6ne ruling in .srael% and His goings forth have been from of old, from the da"s of eternit".

Mat &:1 And when !ahshua had been born in -ethlehem of (udea in the da"s of Herod the $ing, behold, wise men arrived from the east to (erusalem, ,es, ,ahshua was born in 2ethlehem. 6nother interestin! "oint to #onsider is that 2ethlehem today is 100K o##u"ied by 6rabs, so if the Messiah of Israel has not been born yet, how will he be born in 2ethlehem if it is 100K 6rab #ontrolled? What else is "ro"hesied about the linea!e of the Messiah of Israel? 2sa 9:, . have cut a covenant with M" elect% . have sworn to David M" servant, 2sa 9:9 . will establish "our 1eed forever, and build up "our throne to all generations. 1elah. .sa 11:1 And a 1hoot goes out from the stump of (esse, and a -ranch will bear fruit out of his roots.
C:
.sa 11:& And the 1pirit of !ahweh shall rest on Him% He will have the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and power, the spirit of $nowledge and of the fear of !ahweh. Was ,ahshua a 0ew from the tribe of @avid? Mat 1:1 *he -oo$ of the genealog" of !ahshua Messiah, the 1on of David, the son of Abraham: ,es, ,ahshua was from the house of @avid. Now this is a very interestin! "oint be#ause after the destru#tion of the Tem"le in I06.@. all the re#ords of linea!e were destroyed at that time, and althou!h modern @N6 methods #an tra#e someone ba#% to bein! 0ewish they #annot tra#e le!al linea!e ba#% to 7in! @avid, as no re#ord today e.ists. Clearly the Messiah of Israel would have had to be born before the destru#tion of the tem"le in I06.@. 6lso loo% at this s#ri"ture in Mala#hi that also shows the Messiah would have to #ome before the destru#tion of the Tem"le in I06.@. Mal ,:1 -ehold, . am sending M" Messenger, and He will clear the wa" before Me. And Adonai, whom "ou are see$ing shall suddenl" come to His temple, even the Messenger of the 8ovenant, in whom "ou delight. -ehold, He comes, sa"s !ahweh of Hosts. 6lso the Messiah of Israel a##ordin! to 17in!s F-F would be a des#endant of @avid throu!h Nathan, and not /olomon. 1Ai 5:5 And, behold, . purpose to build a house unto the name of !ahweh m" #lohim, as !ahweh spo$e unto David m" father, sa"ing, *h" son, whom . will appoint ?;athan@ upon th" throne in th" place, he shall build a house unto m" name.

The interestin! "art hidden within this verse is that in the ori!inal 4ebrew the word for a))oint #omes from the word 3athan, and ,ahweh is #learly showin! that the linea!e of the Messiah would not be throu!h /olomon but would be throu!h 4is re"la#ement, his brother Nathan.

When you loo% at the #onte.t of this s#ri"ture it is very #lear that the "ro"he#y is to the house of Israel to be !oin! into #a"tivity, but a "romise and a si!n that the #ovenant to the 4ouse or @ynasty of @avid would still be honoured by ,ahweh. 4avin! a vir!in !ive birth was a tremendous si!n that ,ahweh was doin! this. If this was s"ea%in! about ust a normal woman !ivin! birth, where would be the si!n? Was ,ahshua born of a vir!in? :u$ 1:&5 And in the si+th month, the angel /abriel was sent b" #lohim to a cit" of /alilee named ;a)areth, :u$ 1:&0 to a virgin who had been betrothed to a man whose name was (oseph, of the house of David% and the virgin>s name was Mar".

:u$ 1:& And entering, the angel said to her, Hail, one being full of the gift of !ahE !ahweh is with "ou. !ou are blessed among womenE :u$ 1:&9 And seeing this, she was disturbed at his word, and considered what $ind of greeting this might be. :u$ 1:,' And the angel said to her, Do not fear, Mar", for "ou have found grace from #lohim. :u$ 1:,1 And beholdE !ou will conceive in "our womb and bear a 1on, and "ou will call His name !ahshua. :u$ 1:,& *his 6ne will be great and will be called 1on of the Most High. And !ahweh, Adonai will give Him the throne of His father David. :u$ 1:,, And He will reign over the house of (acob to the ages, and of His $ingdom there will be no end. :u$ 1:,9 -ut Mar" said to the angel, How will this be since . do not $now a manC :u$ 1:,5 And answering, the angel said to her, *he Hol" 1pirit will come upon "ou, and the power of the Most High will overshadow "ou, and for this reason that Hol" 6ne being born of "ou will be called 1on of #lohim. ,ahshua was born throu!h a vir!in birth as a si!n of who 4e was. 6lso this s#ri"ture shows that the Messiah would not only be born of a vir!in but also would be the very /on of =lohim. 2ro ,':9 7ho has gone up to Heaven, and come downC 7ho has gathered the wind in His fistsC 7ho has bound the waters in His

These s#ri"tures are #lear solid "roof that the Messiah would not be ,ahweh the ?ather in 4eaven, but 4is /on, that #ame to earth to "ay the "enalty of the sins of Israel under the first #ovenant. (oh ,:15 <or !ahweh so loved the world that He gave His onl" begotten 1on, that ever"one believing into Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. In the ori!inal #ovenant at Mount /inai there was no for!iveness of murder, or idolatry or adultery, only the death "enalty. Not even on ,om 7i""ur #ould these sins be for!iven. When ,ahshua #ame and ma!nified the Torah 4e showed us that sin starts in the mind. That to !et an!ry with someone is a#tually murderin! them in your heart, or to thin% lustful thou!hts of a woman is as if you have #ommitted adultery with her. 4e #ame to show us that a##ordin! to the #ovenant made with Moses on Mount /inai, that all of us are under a death "enalty for the sins that we have #ommitted. 6##ordin! to this #ovenant a!reement there was no for!iveness for idolatry or adultery or murder, only the death "enalty. Acts 1,:, *hen let it be $nown to "ou, men, brothers, that through this 6ne remission of sin is announced to "ou. Acts 1,:,9 And ever"one believing in this 6ne is 4ustified from all things which "ou could not be 4ustified b" the :aw of Moses.
FC
This is why ,ahshua, the /on of ,ahweh had to #ome and "ay the "enalty for our sins that #ould not be "aid under the first #ovenant. Mnder the first #ovenant the sins were only #overed year by year to %ee" the #ovenant relationshi" with ,ahweh the ?ather, but they were never "aid for and never removed. When ,ahshua of Na&areth was #ru#ified 4e a#tually )ai% the )enalty an% re"ove% the sins of all "eo"le who re"ent of their sins and a##e"t 4is sa#rifi#e for them. Now if the Messiah is the /on of ,ahweh, then it would only stand to reason that 4e also must be an eternal s"irit bein! and also be =lohim. .sa 9:5 <or a 8hild is born% to us a 1on is given% and the government is on His shoulder% and His name is called 7onderful, 8ounsellor, *he Might" #l, *he #verlasting <ather, *he 2rince of 2eace. .sa 9:0 *here is no end to the increase of His government and of peace on the throne of David, and on His $ingdom, to order it, and to sustain it with 4ustice and with righteousness, from now and forever. *he )eal of !ahweh of Hosts will do this. /o a!ain we see that the Messiah is !oin! to be born from a woman, as it states a #hild is born. 2ut this is no ordinary #hild as 4is name is #alled 'on%er(ul+ 4ounselor. In the ori!inal 4ebrew lan!ua!e 4e is #alled >5ele Yoeitz>. In 4ebrew the word >5ele> translated wonderful #an only be used for deity and is never used for a human bein!. 4e is also #alled The 2ighty El or >El Gi!!or> in 4ebrew. 6!ain this term #an only be used for deity and never would be used for a mortal human bein!. /o many in 0udaism #riti#i&e believers in ,ahshua for believin! that 4e is also =lohim, as the ?ather is =lohim, but yet ri!ht here in the Tana#h we #learly see that the Messiah of Israel will be divine and will be =lohim and not a mere mortal man.
FF
This is in no way !ivin! #reden#e to the uns#ri"tural idea of the ?ather ,ahweh in heaven bein! ,ahshua 4is /on. ,ahweh is the ?ather in heaven and is the sour#e of all life and 4e is not ,ahshua, but ,ahshua is the /on of ,ahweh. ,ahshua never #laimed to be the ?ather in 4eaven, but the /on of the ?ather in 4eaven, but #learly from s#ri"ture 4e is also of a divine eternal e.isten#e and is also =lohim. ,ahshua will rei!n durin! the millennium 7in!dom but the ?ather ,ahweh is still in 4eaven. 18o 15:&& for as in Adam all die, so also in Messiah all will be made alive. 18o 15:&, -ut each in his own order: Messiah, the firstfruit% afterward those of Messiah at His coming. 18o 15:&9 *hen is the end, when He ?!ahshua@ delivers the $ingdom to !ahweh, even the <ather, when He ma$es to cease all rule and all authorit" and power. 18o 15:&5 <or it is right for Him to reign until He puts all the hostile ones under His feet% ?2sa. 11':1@ 18o 15:&5 the last enem" thing made to cease is death. 18o 15:&0 <or DHe ?*he <ather@ sub4ected all things under His feet%D but when He sa"s that all things have been sub4ected, it is plain that it e+cepts Him? the <ather@who has sub4ected all things to Him. ?2sa. :5@ 18o 15:& -ut when all things are sub4ected to !ahshua, then the 1on Himself also will be sub4ected to the 6ne who has sub4ected all things to Him,?the <ather@ that !ahweh ma" be all things in all.

The idea of the ?ather and /on bein! the same bein! was never "rea#hed by ,ahshua, and was not believed by the early #on!re!ation. If one is honest with himself and "uts traditional tea#hin!s aside, it is im"ossible from s#ri"ture to ever #ome u" with the idea that the ?ather and /on are the same bein!. ,es they are made u" of the same s"irit, and are one in thou!ht and mind and love, but they are two se"arate bein!s with 2 se"arate wills, and the /on of ,ahweh has voluntarily submitted 4is will to the will of the ?ather ,ahweh in heaven. Mat &5:,9 And going forward a little, He fell on His face, pra"ing, and sa"ing, M" <ather, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me% "et not as . will, but as !ou will. (oh 5:,' . am able to do nothing from M"self% 4ust as . hear, . 4udge% and M" 4udgment is 4ust, for . do not see$ M" will, but the will of the 6ne sending Me, the <ather. There are hundreds of s#ri"tures ust li%e these showin! ,ahshua s"ea%in! to 4is ?ather in 4eaven and referen#in! 4is ?ather in 4eaven and they #learly show that ,ahshua never ever #laimed that 4e was the ?ather in 4eaven but only that 4e was the /on of the ?ather in 4eaven. (oh 1':,5 do "ou sa" of Him whom the <ather sanctified and sent into the world, !ou blaspheme, because . said, . am the 1on of !ahwehC ;et us loo% at ,ahshua+s "rayer to the ?ather in 0ohn the 1I th #ha"ter. This is the last words 4e s"o%e before bein! ta%en from the 1arden of 1ethsemane and #ru#ified. (oh 10:, And this is everlasting life, that the" ma" $now !ou, the onl" true #lohim, and !ahshua Messiah, whom !ou have sent. ?8learl" two beings@ (oh 10:9 . have glorified !ou on the earth. . finished the wor$ that !ou gave Me to do.

When you loo% at this oneness that ,ahshua s"o%e of, it is a oneness of all believers havin! the same mindset throu!h submission of our will to the will of ,ahweh. This is the oneness that ,ahshua had with ,ahweh the ?ather, but in no way #ould anyone ever remotely "rove from s#ri"ture that this means they are the same bein!, no more than anyone #ould say all believers are the same bein!. 6lso in the 1reat /hema in @eut 9, it shows the duality of ,ahweh. Deu 5:9 Hear, 6 .srael, !ahweh our #lohim is one !ahweh. The word for "one> in the 4ebrew is "echa%> and is used many times as a unity word, su#h as in 1en 1, where it states that a man shall leave his
FJ
mother and father and #leave to his wife and the two shall be#ome one De#hadE. Certainly we don+t thin% that husbands and wives are one "erson, but they should be echa%, whi#h means one in thought, one in "in%, one in )ur)ose. This is the relationshi" between ,ahweh the ?ather, and ,ahshua the /on, 4is Messen!er. The oneness that #omes from the 4ebrew word >=#had> is a unity. It ta%es two to love. 3ne is only selfish. The word >echa%> in @eut 9-C #learly shows the duality of ,ahweh. If @euteronomy 9 was tal%in! about ,ahweh literally bein! one bein! it would have used the word >yachi%> whi#h #an only mean sin!le or one, and not echa% whi#h #an show unity. This was the word used for 6braham sa#rifi#in! his only son Isaa#. /en &&:1 And it happened after these things, testing Abraham, #lohim said to him, AbrahamE And he said, -ehold me. /en &&:& And He said, ;ow ta$e "our son, .saac, "our onl" one ?"achid@ whom "ou love, and go into the land of Moriah. And there offer him for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which . will sa" to "ou. /o if @euteronomy 9-C was tryin! to show the sin!ularity of ,ahweh it would have definitely used yachi% and not echa%. ;et us loo% at a #ou"le of more s#ri"tures to do!mati#ally show that ,ahshua was not ,ahweh and never #laimed to be the ?ather in 4eaven but the /on of ,ahweh, but also =lohim. Mar 1,:,& -ut concerning that da" and the hour, no one $nows, not the angels, those in Heaven, nor the 1on, e+cept the <ather onl".
90
This s#ri"ture is very tellin!. It is tal%in! about the return of the Messiah ba#% to earth. It is tal%in! about a time still yet in the future, and ,ahshua #learly says even 4e does not %now the e.a#t day and hour, but only the <$THE; in heaven %nows. Now if 4e was the ?ather, why would 4e say this? 6lso, let<s loo% at Mathew the 1Jth #ha"ter. Mat 19:15 And, behold, coming near, one said to Him, /ood *eacher, what good thing shall . do that . ma" have eternal lifeC Mat 19:10 And He said to him, 7h" do "ou call Me goodC ;o one is good e+cept 6ne, !ahwehE -ut if "ou desire to enter into life, $eep the commandments. Now if ,ahshua was the ?ather in 4eaven why would 4e ma%e this statement? Now we #ome to the most tellin! s#ri"ture "rovin! the ?ather and /on are indeed two se"arate bein!s with two se"arate wills, but that the /on has submitted 4is will to be in "erfe#t unity with the ?ather in 4eaven. Mat &0:95 And about the ninth hour, !ahshua cried out with a loud voice, sa"ing, #li, #li, lama sabachthani% that is, DM" #l, M" #l, wh" did !ou forsa$e MeC Now if ,ahshua was the ?ather ,ahweh, was 4e forsa%in! 4imself, and then did 4e really die? 6nd if 4e did die then who raised 4im u" if 4e was the ?ather? No, ,ahshua was not ,ahweh the ?ather, but 4e was ,ahweh the /on. Where the idea that ,ahweh is a#tually ,ahshua or that ,ahshua did not "re5e.ist, is from men who do not %now the 4ebrew lan!ua!e and misinter"ret the s#ri"tures in Isaiah where ,ahweh says I Yahweh+ I alone to mean only one. In 4ebrew this "hrase >I alone> does not mean
91
one bein!, but rather li%e a bran#h to a tree that nothin!s #an e.ist without ,ahweh the ?atherB 4e is the sour#e of all life. This is e.a#tly what the 4ebrew means. 6lso remember that the word =lohim is in the "lural in 4ebrew, so where it states that there is no other =lohim but ,ahweh, it is merely s"ea%in! of the family of ,ahweh and is in the "lural, meanin! both ,ahweh the ?ather and ,ahshua the /on. In udi#ial order, the /on has willin!ly sub e#ted 4is will to be under submission of the ?ather. /en 1:&5 And #lohim said, let Hs ma$e man in 6ur image, according to 6ur li$eness% and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creepers creeping on the earth. /en ,:&& And !ahweh #lohim said, -eholdE *he man has become as one of Hs, to $now good and evil. And now, lest he put forth his hand and also ta$e from the *ree of :ife, and eat, and live forever, Clearly from #reation we see duality to the family of ,ahweh. There is ,ahweh the ?ather and 4is /on ,ahshua ,ahweh. ,ahweh is the family name of our CreatorB they are both Creators and all thin!s were #reated with the hel" of the /on. Nothin! was #reated without 4im. If ,ahweh is the ?ather in 4eaven then by the mere definition of GA FatherH it #ertainly would have the #onnotation that there has to be a /on if there is a ?ather. 4ere are more s#ri"tures do!mati#ally showin! ,ahshua bein! involved in #reation. #cc 1&:1aF 3emember now "our 8reators ? it is plural in the original Hebrew@ in the da"s of "our "outh, (oh 1:1 .n the beginning was the 7ord, and the 7ord was with #lohim, and the 7ord was #lohim.

9F
;et+s loo% at some other s#ri"tures showin! the duality of ,ahweh and ,ahshua. =ven in the boo% of 1enesis it shows the duality of ,ahweh the ?ather+s family. /en 19:&9 *hen !ahweh ?!ahshua, the one who appeared to Abraham in chapter 1 :1@ rained upon 1odom and upon /omorrah brimstone and fire from !ahweh ?*he <ather@ out of heaven% .sa 99:5 1o sa"s !ahweh, the Aing of .srael, I and His 3edeemer, !ahweh of Hosts: . am the <irst, and . am the :ast% and there is no #lohim e+cept Me. /o we see here a!ain that the 7in! of Israel is #alled ,ahweh, but this 7in! also has a (edeemer who is ,ahweh the ?ather out of 4eaven. The word =lohim is "lural in 4ebrewB if it were sin!ular it would be =l or =li as in the 6ramai#, so both ,ahweh+s are statin! there is no other =lohim family besides ,ahweh, but as already "roven, that family is made u" of ,ahweh the ?ather and 4is /on, the Messiah of Israel, ,ahshua. If "eo"le #ould only !ras" the sim"le #on#e"t of ,ahweh bein! a family, whi#h is laid out all over in s#ri"ture, then you would not have so mu#h #onfusion as to who ,ahweh is and who ,ahshua is.

The unity that is su""osed to be within the marria!e relationshi", the submission of the wife to her husband and the love that the husband is to un#onditionally show his wife is su""osed to be ty"ified of the total unity and love that ,ahweh the ?ather and ,ahshua 4is /on have always had for ea#h other from eternity. ?rom eternity ,ahshua the /on has wilfully submitted to be under the authority and headshi" of ,ahweh the ?ather and has submitted 4is will #om"letely to have the same will or "ur"ose of ,ahweh the ?ather. There is no dissention or animosity
99
between them they are truly Gecha%H, united in mind and thou!ht and "ur"ose, but also #learly two distin#t bein!s. We have "roven une'uivo#ally from the Tana#h that the Messiah of Israel is not ,ahweh the ?ather, but 4e is the /on of ,ahweh and is also =lohim and divine, and e.isted forever with ,ahweh the ?ather. =ven in the s#ri"ture whi#h we read in Mi#ha F-2, about the Messiah bein! born in 2ethlehem states, 4is days are from >eternity>, or in the ori!inal 4ebrew > # 6la">, no be!innin! or endin!.

The Messiah was not the ?ather ,ahweh but always e.isted with the ?ather. 2sa 11':1 !ahweh said unto m" Adonai, 1it at m" right hand, until . ma$e "our enemies "our footstool. 2sa 11':9 !ahweh has sworn and will not repent: !ou are a priest forever according to the order of Melchi)ede$. 2sa 11':5 !ahweh at !our right hand shatters $ings in the da" of His anger. 2sa 11':5 He shall 4udge among the nations% He shall fill with dead bodies% He shall shatter heads over much land. 3n#e a!ain we see two ,ahweh+s in this Messiani# s#ri"ture. 3ne is ,ahweh the ?ather in 4eaven, and the se#ond ,ahweh is the /on, seated at 4is ri!ht hand in verse F, shatterin! 7in!s on ud!ment day. *lease also note that the 4ebrew word A%onai whi#h is mostly translated in =n!lish as >1or%"+ is never used in 4ebrew for a man but only for ,ahweh. If it were referrin! to a human man it would be the word 6don or A%onee and not $)onai. ;et us loo% at one more s#ri"ture showin! that the Messiah of Israel is =lohim. 2sa 95:& !ou are the fairest of the sons of man% grace has poured into !our lips% on this account #lohim has blessed !ou forever. 2sa 95:, /ird !our sword on !our thigh, Might" 6ne% with !our glor" and !our ma4est".

Noti#e in verse 9 the Messiah is #alled =lohim and in verse I it states that the =lohim of the first =lohim in verse 9 DThe MessiahE, will bless 4im. The Messiah of Israel is not ,ahweh the ?ather but 4is /on who was also the Messen!er of ,ahweh in the Tana#h. #+o ,:& And the Messenger of !ahweh appeared to him in a flame of fire from the middle of a thorn bush.
