Purpose of Life

The very purpose of our life on Earth is to be trained for service in the Millennial Kingdom and into the Eternal Kingdom. In Luke, Yahusha clearly illustrated this truth in the parable of the Ten Pounds and Ten Servants who were ordered to "Occupy till I come". This parable teaches us that our faithfulness in this life will be rewarded with MORE responsibility in the future Kingdom of Yahuah. More authority as a JUDGE as we REIGN with Yahusha the Messiah:

Luke 19:11
11 Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of Yahuah would appear immediately. 12 Therefore He said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘DO BUSINESS till I come.’ 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’

15 “And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’ 17 And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’

Remember, we are being trained as Righteous Judges. We are supposed to be “DOING BUSINESS” or taking care of the business at hand which is applying our lives to training for His coming Kingdom. We should be studying His Law and applying it to our lives and learning to exercise judgment. It is not at all something to abuse or take lightly. To the Righteous Judge, it is joy to exercise justice in judgment:

Proverbs 21:15
"It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity (breaking The Law of Yahuah)".

Commandments

Christians today who have bought into that false doctrine that YAHUAH's Commandments have been abolished STAND ALONE...while Yahusha, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Paul, and every other son of YAHUAH stand together in OBEDIENCE to His Commandments in righteousness.

The only change over time was from verbal to written to Spiritual. The ordinances of YAHUAH remain the same.

The only difference between the time of Abraham and Moses was that the commands under went a "change" from verbal to written and further defined. And they underwent another change from Moses to Yahusha which was that of a "transferal" from written to Spiritual and further defined.

Yes, salvation is based on a promise, yet righteousness is based on obedience to commands. Sin is transgression of those commands, while Grace is forgiveness in light of those transgressions. They all work in unison in the training of the sons of God. You cannot isolate one aspect of the Master Plan in an attempt to do away with the other vital aspects of this training system.

His Commands were made known to Abraham and Jacob, Abraham's grandson too! And on down the line.

Gen 26:5 - KJV

5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws .

Ps 147:19-148:1 - KJV

19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. 20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

There is no righteousness outside of His Commands:

Romans 2:13 (New International Version)

13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.

You cannot know YAHUAH outside His Commands:

1 John 2:4

"He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments (Torah/Law), is a liar, and the truth is not in him."

You cannot Love YAHUAH outside His Commands:

1 John 5:3

For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments;

His Law is the foundation of His Holiness and are Righteousness:

Deut 4:8 - KJV

8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

His Law/Commands are vital aspects of Grace which is defined as forgiveness in light of transgression of those very commands. You cannot have Grace with no Law... you have anarchy:

Rom 4:15 - KJV

15 Because the law worketh wrath (for disobedience): for where no law is, there is no transgression.

The Apostle Paul fully understood exactly what I am attempting to communicate to you now. And this is the topic of his letters. Paul was obedient to the Torah and Prophets and the Feasts EVEN AFTER the death of Yahusha and taught them in light of the Messiah:

Acts 24:14 - Complete Jewish Bible

“But this I admit to you: I worship the God of our fathers in accordance with the Way (which they call a sect). I continue to believe everything that accords with the Torah and everything written in the Prophets.”

Paul was blameless in keeping the Torah:

Acts 28:17 - Complete Jewish Bible

Brothers, (speaking to the local Jewish leaders) although I have done nothing against either our people or the traditions of our fathers…

Paul even went out of his way to get to Jerusalem for Shavu'ot to celebrate the giving of the Torah.

Acts 20:16 - Complete Jewish Bible

For Shaul had decided to bypass Ephesus on his voyage, in order to avoid losing time in the province of Asia, because he was hurrying to get to Yerushalayim, if possible in time to celebrate Shavu’ot. (Celebrate WHAT?, Paul went out of his way to celebrate Shavu'ot which is THE CELEBRATION OF THE GIVING OF THE TORAH!!!!)

That's exactly what it says. Paul CELEBRATED the Torah. He kept the Torah. He taught the Torah. So something is wrong with the way Paul's writings have been translated and taught. Paul wasn't alone, every man of God bar none kept His Commandments.... the man chosen by YAHUAH to heal Paul's vision was Hananyah... a keeper of the Torah!

Acts 22:12 - Complete Jewish Bible

A man named Hananyah, an observant follower of the Torah (why would he add that statement?) who was highly regarded by the entire Jewish community there, came to me, stood by me and said “Brother Shaul, see again!”.

And so was every other Disciple, Apostle, and early son of YAHUAH until the Cult of Sol Invictus came along 400 years later and abolished it all. This is called the Transgression of Desolation. Below I want to provide a very basic outline to demonstrate that the "Promise" did not exist in isolation outside every other vital aspect of the Plan of Salvation which has been at work all along. And to abolish His Commandments out of that same system now is a doctrine of man and there is no truth in it.

1 John 2:4

"He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments (Torah/Law), is a liar, and the truth is not in him."

Covenants

The Bible is a text book to The Kingdom of Yahuah and this kingdom is introduced slowly over time by Yahuah as He established covenants with mankind.

As these covenants progress over time we learn more and more about His kingdom through physical to spiritual parallels. So the first step in studying The Bible in order to understand The Kingdom of Yahuah is to identify the covenants through which that kingdom was revealed.

1. The Sabbath Covenant – between Yahuah and creation; it is Yahuah’s stamp over His creation as The Creator

2. The Edenic/Adamic Covenant – between Yahuah and humanity, Adam the chosen signatory

3. The Noahic Covenant – Renewed the Adamic Covenant, Noah the chosen signatory

4. The Abrahamic Covenant – between Yahuah and His chosen bloodline, Abraham the signatory

5. The Mosaic Covenant – between Yahuah and the sons of Yahuah known as Israel, Moses the chosen signatory

6. The Davidic Covenant – between Yahuah and His chosen royal bloodline, David the signatory.

7. The Renewed Mosaic Covenant (The New Covenant) – between Yahuah and His chosen REMNANT sons, Yahusha the signatory.

Each covenant building on the one before until His kingdom is fully defined physically. Then in the final 7th Covenant, YahUAh transposes that kingdom to its final spiritual reality. This is called Transposition. (A transfer of position)

Training Aids

Remember these terms as they are “keys” or training aids in studying The Kingdom of Yahuah:

Physical to spiritual parallels

Progressive Revelation/Disclosure

Transposition

************

The Text Book

Yahuah has delivered into our hands the “text book” in the study of His kingdom. All 7 Covenants each progressively disclosing Truth over time and teaching us through physical to spiritual parallels His kingdom in detail.

That text book is The Bible and we must understand how to read it!

**************

The Course

The Kingdom of Yahuah has always existed, in eternity past and in the eternal future. Yahuah revealing that kingdom to humanity (His sons specifically) is a process that takes time in context of a physical realm. It also requires physical bodies with which to interact with that physical realm.

Time, if fact, is just another part of that great “veil” and exists only within the context of this physical realm. There is, however, a very specific “time-frame” allotted within this physical realm whereby to teach and then transpose The Kingdom of Yahuah. That time-frame was revealed in the very first covenant… The Sabbath Covenant.

We should understand the spiritual kingdom of Yahuah at this time as we are at the end of the allotted time-frame. If we do not, we have failed in our responsibility to seek His kingdom. That is the purpose of the Bible, to clearly define that kingdom so we can move forward and understand our role in it. Then we can set about to achieve His purpose in us in this life. We can also truly fulfill The Great Commission and spread the true Gospel that The Kingdom of Yahuah is within our reach.

*************

The Obstacle

We are all trapped in some way in the “religious system” that evolved out of Babylon that is specifically designed to:

Hide His Holy Name “Yahuah” behind the title LORD which is English for Ba’al the Babylonian sungod.

Keep us from keeping His Sabbath, the very SIGN we are His son and destroy us through keeping the Babylonian day of the sungod Ba’al. That day is Sunday worship.

Keep us from righteousness by teaching us disobedience to His Law and that His Righteousness (defined in The Law) has been abolished

Prevent us from our atonement through the true Messiah by having us put our faith in the Babylonian celebration of “Easter” instead of putting our faith in Passover.

Keep us in the highest form of idolatry by elevating an image of a man in the form of Jesus Christ (Hesus Krishna) as “God” in our hearts. Causing us to commit both The Transgression of Desolation and The Abomination of Desolation.

Passover in the New Testament

We have a tendency to leave the Passover out of The New Testament when we, in fact, should put the entire NT in context of Passover. That is what Yahusha came the first time to fulfill and that is the central message of the NT.

You see, Yahusha is THE Good Shepherd who laid down his life (as an example) on Passover for all of us who are “sheep” or “lambs of Yahuah” too!

We must “enter into the sheep pen by the GATE” or rather The NARROW GATE (which is The Way or example set by Yahusha).

His example on Passover is The Way we are to enter ourselves. We see Yahusha speaking The Mystery Language below concerning Passover and the rest of the spotless lambs of Yahuah who follow his example. Yahusha tore the veil, providing us all access to the Altar of Yahuah to offer our own lives as living sacrificial lambs:

John 10:11 - The Good Shepherd and His Sheep who enter through the Passover

1 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate (Passover), but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters by the gate (Passover) is the shepherd of the (rest of the) sheep. 3 The gatekeeper (Yahuah) opens the gate for him (the Shepherd Yahusha), and the sheep (we too our lambs of Yahuah) listen to his (Yahusha’s) voice (example). He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out (of this physical world and into The Kingdom of Yahuah through Passover).

4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them (offering his life as a living sacrifice and suffering at the stake on Passover), and his sheep follow him (in the Passover example he set) because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”

6 Yahusha used this figure of speech (Mystery Language Alert!), but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.
7 Therefore Yahusha said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate (the Passover Lamb and true and living way to follow) for the (rest of the) sheep (lambs of Yahuah).8 All who have come before me (claiming to be the Messiah) are thieves and robbers, but the (true) sheep have not listened to them.

9 I am the gate (the Passover Lamb and the way the example to follow); whoever enters through me (follows my reverent submissive example on Passover) will be saved (from death by Yahuah as Yahusha was). They will come in (by following Yahusha’s example of living sacrifice) and go out (into The Kingdom of Yahuah), and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come (to set the example and show the way i.e. shepherd) that they may have (eternal) life (by following my example), and have it to the full.

11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life (as a living sacrifice on Passover) for the sheep (to follow as an example as he shepherds us through the gate, we are all Passover lambs). ..
14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life (deny my own will and do the will of Yahuah) for the sheep (on Passover as an example).

Did Yahusha Accept Worship?

by Ed Moore

One of the misconceptions taught in the Christian church to “prove” that Yahusha was Yahuah in the flesh and establishes the pagan doctrines of The Trinity and Incarnation is that Yahusha accepted worship as a deity. Therefore, by implication (implied doctrine), he was Yahuah in the flesh. We need to employ just a little bit of common sense here.

The issue at hand is “Glory” which Yahuah declares that He alone is wise and to Him alone belongs “glory, majesty, dominion, and power”

Jude 1:25
25 to Yahuah Our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever.

Yahusha agreed:

Matthew 19:16-17
16 Behold, one came to him and said, "Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" 17 He said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, Yahuah. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments of Yahuah."

John 17:3
Now this is eternal life: that they know you Yahuah, the only true God, and (are in covenant with) Yahusha the Messiah, whom you have sent (as the mediator of that covenant).

Matthew 4:10
Yahusha said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship Yahuah your God, and serve Him only.'"

Fit for the Kingdom

by Ed Moore

Yahuah simply cannot grant eternal life and a position within The Kingdom of Yahuah to a disobedient human being… period. It is that simple. If you disobey His Law now, you cannot be trusted with eternal life, you cannot be trusted to govern, you cannot be trusted to judge, you cannot be trusted as His priest, you cannot be trusted with anything and you will die dead in your “sin” which is… transgression of His Law. This cannot be over stated.

This life is our training in His Law

During our life on Earth… we are trained for service in The Kingdom of Yahuah by teachers and mentors (training aids organized into covenants).

This training process we are put through on earth comes in the form of “test after test” of trials, tribulations, adversity, and affliction whereby we apply His Laws to our lives and grow. It is through this process of tests and trials that we learn the meaning of His Righteous Laws and become trained to govern.

Romans 5
3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope.

We begin our journey as “children” of Yahuah no different than a servant. At the appointed time after being trained and tutored through covenants we graduate to full sonship and are no longer “children”.

Our inheritance is granted AFTER our training when we have grown beyond that of a childish selfish slave into an obedient son trained in His Righteousness which is defined by His Laws.

Isaiah 30:20
20 And though Yahuah give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall (be spiritually opened to) see thy teachers (understand physical to spiritual parallels):

Galatians 4:1-7
1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he be master of all (we are destined to be masters of The Universe); 2 But as “children” we are under tutors and guardians (covenants, rehearsals, The Law) until the time appointed of the father (that we have mastered spiritual truth through physical examples).

6 And because you are (now) sons (after the appointed time of training), Yahuah has (then after training) sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 At which time you are no longer a child (you are trained in His Kingdom), but a son; and if a son, then (only once you have become a son and not a child) an heir of Yahuah (to His Creation) through the Messiah (the first born son in the Family of Yahuah).

One

 I and my Father are one

We are always taught the verses where Yahusha and Yahuah are said to be one is proof of incarnation. Trinitarians love to cherry pick scriptures that seem to make Yahusha and Yahuah the "same exact being" quoting such scripture out of context. They build doctrines born from "sound bites" not "sound teaching". They quote such sound bites as:

John 10
30 I and my Father are one.

When taken out of context that would seem to either mean "Yahuah is Yahusha" or Yahusha is committing blasphemy! But, taken IN CONTEXT we see, that when accused of blasphemy Yahusha went on to clearly tell us what that statement meant and he was neither committing blasphemy nor was he saying he was Yahuah. He was saying he was the son of Yahuah and they are one family through covenant. Trinitarians conveniently stop with verse 30 to make their point and never do they venture beyond that sound bite to where Yahusha clears this entire thing up. 

John 17:19-21
"And for their sakes I sanctify myself (through the Truth of Scripture, The Torah and Prophets), that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in (covenant with) me, and I in (covenant with) thee, that they also may be one in (covenant with) us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me."

So there you have it. As Yahusha sanctified himself through the Truth found in The Word, I also have been sanctified by the Truth of the Word of Yahuah. I, being born again into the family of Yahuah, by covenant of "marriage" the two shall become one. We are ONE in family, Spirit, Will, and purpose. Yahuah is our Father, Yahusha is the first born son in that family, and I am a son in that family as well being the younger brother of the eldest son.

Our Brother

Yahusha clearly admits he is not my "God" but my brother

Yahuah is not Yahusha. Yahusha is our brother not our "God". Yahuah is our God and Father not our brother. The simplicity and obviousness of the truth is inescapable. It was not through "Yahusha" that all things exist as the pagan "Logos" lie is taught, but through Yahuah alone...

Hebrews 2:10-18 - NIV
10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that Yahuah, for whom and through whom everything exists, (Yahuah) should make the pioneer of their salvation (Yahusha) perfect through what he suffered. 11 Both the one who makes people holy (Yahuah) and those who are made holy (Yahusha and all his brother/sisters) are of the same family. So Yahusha is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. 12 He says,

“I will declare your name (Yahuah) to my brothers and sisters (Yahusha is not our God, he is our elder brother in the family of Yahuah); in the assembly I will sing your praises.” 13 And again, “I (Yahusha) will put my trust in him
(Yahuah).” And again he says, “Here am I, and the (rest of the) children Yahuah has given me (to rule over).”

14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity (he was human too) so that by his death (the death of a man not God) he might break the power of him who holds the power of death (defeat The Law of Sin and Death)—that is, the devil— 15 and free (all who now live by The Law of the Spirit of Life) those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death (we were held in slavery to the death decrees not The Law). 16 For surely it is not angels Yahusha helps, but Abraham’s descendants (alone). 17 For this reason he (Yahusha) had to be made like them (he was made human just like I was), fully human in every way (doesn’t get any clearer than that), in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest (all High Priests are chosen from among men… Hebrews 5:1) in service to Yahuah, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted (proof he was not Yahuah, Yahuah cannot be tempted by evil), he is able to help those who are being tempted.

James 1:13
For Yahuah cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;

That is the long and short of it. There is absolutely no difference between Yahusha pre-resurrection than there is you and I now. Again the main difference is that Yahusha is the first born son, he is the King of Kings, and High Priest. WE ARE OF THE SAME EXACT FAMILY!

Yahuah is the God of Yahusha just like he is my God!

The scripture below speaks volumes:

John 20:17
17 Yahusha said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.' "

Again, it just doesn’t get any clearer than that.

Act 17:31 because He has set a day on which He is going to judge the world in righteousness by a MAN (NOT YAHUAH) whom He has appointed, having given proof of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

Act 17:31 because He has set a day on which He is going to judge the world in righteousness by a MAN (NOT YAHUAH) whom He has appointed, having given proof of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

1Ti 2:5 For there is one Elohim, and one Mediator between Elohim and men, the MAN Messiah יהושע,

Act 7:55 But he, being filled with the Set-apart Spirit, looked steadily into the heaven and saw the esteem of Elohim, and יהושע standing at the right hand of Elohim,

The Throne of Creation

The Throne of Creation and The Throne of the King over The Kingdom of Yahuah

The next misconception I want to clear up is that Yahusha is THE KING over creation. Yahusha is not The King over creation he is the King over The Kingdom of Yahuah which governs Yahuah’s creation. Yahuah is King over His creation and Yahusha is the Proxy King exercising power that is given to him by The Creator. There are two thrones, The Throne of Creation and the throne that rules over The Kingdom of Yahuah. Yahuah sits on The Throne of Creation, Yahusha sits at Yahuah’s right hand and Yahusha’s power/authority is given him by Yahuah as Yahuah’s proxy King over The Kingdom of Yahuah:

Matthew 26:64
Yahusha said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of (the) Power (of Yahuah) and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Ephesians 1:20
That Yahuah worked in Yahusha when Yahuah raised Yahusha from the dead and seated Yahusha at His right hand in the heavenly places (Kingdom of Yahuah),

Colossians 3:1
If then you have been raised with Yahusha, seek the (Spiritual) things that are above (in The Kingdom of Yahuah), where Yahusha is, seated at the right hand of Yahuah.

Hebrews 8:1
Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of The Throne of the Majesty (Throne of Creation) in (The Kingdom of) heaven

Revelation 5:13
13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him (Yahuah) who sits on the Throne (of Creation) and (also) to the Lamb of Yahuah (sitting at the right hand of that throne not on it) be praise and honor and glory and power, forever and ever!”

So when you put John Chapter 1 back into proper Hebraic context and we put that chapter back into agreement with Yahuah’s explicit declarations that He is Creator and there was no one with Him. We also see that Yahusha’s beginning was within his mother’s womb like all other humans. We see that Yahusha did not take his place at the right hand of Yahuah until after his resurrection. Divine emanation, pre-existence, and incarnation are all false doctrines that rob the Glory that is due to Yahuah alone.

Father and Son

The relationship between Yahuah and Yahusha is not difficult to understand. It is that of Father and Son. The same relationship we have with our Father in Heaven. Yahuah is not only the Father of Yahusha but He is the Father of all His sons in the same way. In the physical shadow of earthly father and son; and the spiritual parallel that shadow represents… the father and son are not the same “being”. One begets the other. One is an “image” of the other.

Yahuah has always revealed Himself as our Father as Yahusha too confirmed. We see that Yahuah is Yahusha’s Father as Yahusha is no different than you and I:

Luke 11
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.”

1 Peter 1
To Yahuah’s elect, exiles (lost sheep of The House of Israel) scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, 2 who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of Yahuah the Father… 3 Praise be to the Elohim and Father of our King Yahusha the Messiah! In His (our Father’s) great mercy He (our Father) has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Yahusha the Messiah from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance (of Yahuah the Father to His sons) is kept in The Kingdom of Yahuah for you.

1 Corinthians 8
5 For even if there are so-called Gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “Gods” and many “lords”), 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father Yahuah, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one King, Yahusha the Messiah, for whom all things were created (by Yahuah as an inheritance) and through whom we live (in covenant being covered by the blood of the lamb).

We see above Paul explain the simple reality of Yahuah being the Father and Yahusha being Yahuah’s first born son through resurrection. We see Yahuah give all His sons the inheritance which is held for us in The Kingdom of Yahuah. We see Sha’ul (Paul) praying that the true knowledge that Yahuah alone is our God and Father be revealed to His chosen:

Ephesians 1
17 I keep asking that the God of our King the Messiah Yahusha, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him (your Father) better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He (your Father) has called you (as His son), the riches of His (your Father’s) glorious inheritance in His (Yahuah’s) holy people, 19 and His (Yahuah’s) incomparably great power toward us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 He (your Father Yahuah) exerted when He (the Father) raised Yahusha (His son) from the dead and seated Yahusha at His (Father’s) right hand in The Kingdom of Yahuah, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And Yahuah (the Father) placed all things under his (son Yahusha’s) feet and appointed Yahusha to be head over everything for the sons of Yahuah, 23 which is His (Yahuah’s) body (Temple), the fullness of Him (Yahuah) who fills everything in every way.

All of the references to Father and son in the Bible are in context of the Hebraic mindset of the place and authority of the father over his household. It is within this context that Yahusha as the son and “perfect image” of the Father is understood. Yahusha is the proxy of His Father Yahuah as His instrument and assistant as Yahusha is seated at his Father Yahuah’s right hand. The Universe is still the property of The Creator; the responsibility to govern it is given over to His sons.

Unger's Bible Dictionary, page 347

2. PLACE AND AUTHORITY. The position and authority of the father as the head of the family is expressly assumed and sanctioned in Scripture as a likeness of that of the Almighty over his creatures. It lies, of course, at the root of that so-called patriarchal government (Gen. 3:16; I Cor. 11:3)... While the father lived, he continued to represent the whole family, the property was held in his name, and all was under his superintendence and control... The children, and even the grandchildren, continued under the roof of the father … The property of the soil, the power of judgment, the civil rights belonged to him only, and his sons were merely his instruments and assistants...

Did Yahusha claim he was the Great I Am ?

John 8
55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word.56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad." 57 "You are not yet fifty years old," the Jews said to him, "and you have seen Abraham!" 58 "I tell you the truth," Yahusha answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Yahusha hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.

In the scene above Yahusha is telling the Jews that because they transgress The Law of Yahuah with their human tradition and commandments of men (The Talmud) they are liars when they say they know Yahuah. When Yahusha made the statement “before Abraham was born, I AM” in context of the Word of Yahuah and the predestined plan of Yahuah to send a human Messiah; Yahusha was simply saying “before Abraham was born, I am (prophesied to come and have pre-eminence among the sons of Yahuah in the pre-ordained Plan of Yahuah).” Letting scripture interpret scripture we establish sound doctrine to overcome this sound bite. Yahusha knew he was given preeminence among all things in the plan of Yahuah which was with Yahuah at creation therefore “before Abraham”. Paul confirms this fact:

Colossians 1:15-20
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by Yahuah all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through Yahuah and for Yahusha. 17 And Yahuah is before all things, and in Yahuah all things hold together. 18 And Yahusha is the head of the body, the church. Yahusha is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything Yahusha might be preeminent. 19 For in Yahusha all the fullness of Yahuah’s Spirit was pleased to dwell, 20 and through Yahusha, Yahuah would reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his stake (Yahuah would reconcile creation in covenant with Yahusha).

Paul is explaining what Yahusha was stating… two facts: 1.) he was before Abraham and had pre-eminence in the Plan of Yahuah. 2.) Yahusha is before Abraham in the resurrection being the first born of all eternal creatures. As I stated early, Yahusha accepted worship as the preeminent son of Yahuah and was before all men in the Plan of Yahuah. Below is the meaning of preeminence:

pre·em·i·nence
noun: pre-eminence; plural noun: pre-eminences; noun: preeminence; plural noun: preeminences
1. the fact of surpassing all others; superiority.

So before Abraham was born, Yahusha said “I am preeminent among the sons of Yahuah”. Yahusha’s use of the phrase “I am” was no different than how you and I would use it today. If you ask me if I am a son of Yahuah, I would reply “I am”. Would you stone me for blasphemy? I am not claiming in any way to be Yahuah nor saying that I am The Great I AM simply because I used the phrase “I am”. Neither was Yahusha. In fact, Yahusha use this phrase often and never was he implying he was the Great I AM in the process. Below we see Yahusha use the phrase I am and what he meant:

1. Bread - “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger.” John 6:35

2. Light - “I am the light of the world; he who fallows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12

3. Gate - “I am the gate; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” John 10:9

4. Good Shepherd - “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for His sheep.” John 10:11

5. Resurrection and Life - “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies.” John 11:25

6. Way, Truth, Life - “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.” John 14:6

7. True vine - “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.” John 15:1

Given Yahusha’s use of the term I Am he would have said “I am the Great I AM” if that is what he intended to say. Again, to understand what Yahusha was saying in John 8:58 we must put this statement into context of Scripture. Christianity takes John 8:58 out of context and combines it with John Chapter 1 that is mistranslated to come up with the false teaching that Yahusha claimed to be God.

In fact those two verses do combine to give us the truth of what Yahusha was saying. Yahusha was simply saying that before Abraham was born, Yahusha was prophesied to come in the Plan of Yahuah and was preeminent in that plan.

John 1:1-5
1 In the beginning was the plan of Yahuah, and the plan was with Yahuah (and defined His purpose in creation), and the plan was Yahuah's. 2 The same plan was in the beginning with Yahuah. 3 All things were done according to the plan of Yahuah, and without the plan of Yahuah nothing was done, that was done. 4 In this plan was (predestined) life (through a human Messiah’s sacrifice), and that life was the light (revelation) to mankind. 5 Now that light (revealed plan to send a human Messiah) shines in the darkness, but the darkness does not take hold of it…

Again, in every case where incarnation is taught it is taken out of context. Put back into context that false doctrine crumbles. The Trinity and Incarnation doctrines are literally built upon implied doctrine and the Christian scribes had to add words to Scripture in order to even be able to “imply” such nonsense. If you take out the words added to scripture to promote the “doctrine of the false messiah” and put those verses back into context there is zero references to incarnation and The Trinity. We have been lied to for 2000 years:

Jeremiah 8:8-9
“How can you say, ‘We are wise, and The Law of Yahuah is with us’? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. 9 The wise men shall be put to shame; they shall be dismayed and taken; behold, they have rejected the word of Yahuah, so what wisdom is in them?

Father is Greater

by Ed Moore

Deu 6:4 “Hear, O Yisra’ĕl: יהוה our Elohim, יהוה is one!

Mal 3:6 “For I am יהוה, I shall not change, and you, O sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, shall not come to an end.

Mal 2:10 Have we not all one Father? Did not one Ěl create us? Why do we act treacherously against one another, to profane the covenant of the fathers?

Mar 12:32 And the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one Elohim, and there is no other besides Him.

James 1:13
For Yahuah cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;

Psa 90:2 Before the mountains were born, Or You had brought forth the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting You are Ěl.

Jas 2:19 You believe that Elohim is one. You do well. The demons also believe – and shudder!

John 4:24 tells us that YAHUAH is spirit. Yahshua was not spirit, but flesh and blood.

Our Messiah was tempted and he also died...

Numbers 23:19
"Yahuah is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man (Yahusha is called the son of man 87 times), that He should repent; Has He said (that He would not take the form of a man), and will He not do it (keep His promise NOT to come to Earth as a man)? Or has He spoken (this promise not to take the form of a man), and will He not make good on this promise?

Isa 42:5 Thus said the Ěl, יהוה, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk on it:

Isaiah 44
24 “This is what Yahuah says— your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am Yahuah,the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the earth BY MYSELF.

Isa 45:5 ‘I am יהוה, and there is none else – there is no Elohim besides Me. I gird you, though you have not known Me,
Isa 45:6 so that they know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none but Me. I am יהוה, and there is NONE ELSE,

Yahchanan 14:28—
You have heard that I told you: I go away, but come again to you. If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

Example

The example Yahusha set that we are to follow is that of an obedient son of Yahuah to His Commandments. Yahusha kept The Sabbath; he kept Passover and every other commandment. This is our example.

Constantine is not our example nor is The Pope not even your Christian Church. For all the double talk Christian’s do in claiming to walk in the footsteps of “Jesus” they don’t even come close to walking as Yahusha so set the example in obedience to the Law of Yahuah.

1 John 2
4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.

When the Messiah said "Follow me" (Matthew 8:22, 9:9), He meant we are to behave the way He did and obey Torah - the Word of YHVH! His death, as atonement for our sins did not mean we could simply keep on sinning and still obtain our place in the Kingdom! He meant we had our place so long as we did not continue to sin!

And Torah defines "sin." Sin is transgression of Torah (1 John 3:4)

John 14:6
Yahusha answered, "I am (my example is) the way and (my example is) the truth and (my example is) the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (my example).

The Whole Law

                         Contributed by Ed Moore

“Christians” often mock those who seek to be obedient to Yahuah in love as “legalistic”; and they condemn us for not keeping “the whole law”. Christian’s favorite accusation is: “if you keep The Law, why aren’t you sacrificing animals?” These Christians show a complete disconnect with The Renewed Covenant and do not know Yahuah.

Sacrifices are made on behalf of those who “do this” or keep Passover in remembrance of his sacrifice. The “Altar” has not disappeared as many assume and in error claim there are currently no daily sacrifices being made. The Altar exists now in our hearts and the sacrifices being made on it are still alive and very active.

The Temple of YAHUAH is the human body

The altar of YAHUAH is the hearts/minds of man

The Sacrifices to YAHUAH are expressing faith through action

Which brings us to "The Law"....

Not everyone is “under” every one of the 613 Laws. The Laws of Yahuah just
like laws of man are jurisdictional and not everyone falls under the jurisdiction of every law:

• There are laws that pertain to women only.
• There are laws that apply to men only.
• There are laws that apply to Kings, Priests, and Judges that don’t apply to the average person.
• The Laws of the Priesthood and Sacrificial Laws have been transposed over
to Yahusha who serves as Melchezidek. These laws don’t apply to us as they
have been transposed to Heaven to define the role Yahusha plays as High
Priest

This is why the entire Law was summarized into the Ten Commandments because those are the commandments that apply to and have jurisdiction over everyone.

The Law is a term used for all 613 “instructions” in righteousness found in The Torah. The Law contains very distinct categories:

                                  by Ed Moore

His Commandments (Ten Commandments)

His Ordinances/Laws (Dietary, Priestly, Ritual Purity, Sacrificial, Judicial, Moral, Agricultural, Business, Sabbatical, Community, Prohibition, Tithes/Offerings, etc.)

His Decrees (Judicial Judgments amounting to a Certificate of Debt against us for our disobedience to His Commandments and His Laws)

Those death decrees are covered by the blood of the Lamb. That reduces the number significantly from the 613 “laws” and leaves only the commands and ordinances.

There are other “sins” not “unto death” which are the laws that pertain to our physical bodies and health such as the dietary laws. Violating these laws has physical consequences to our health not our eternal life. Laws that apply to agriculture, business, community, and so forth are all laws that if violated effect our relationships with others, our reputation, the ability of the land to regenerate etc. They do not impact our eternal life. There are laws given as physical to spiritual parallels that teach us through physical examples what it means to be “set apart”.

All these laws, as Paul said, are profitable to us in our earthly lives and instructing us in righteousness as we study them from the standpoint of spiritual intent. Anytime you see the word “Scripture” in the Bible it is referring to The Law, The Prophets, and The Writings we in error call The Old Testament.

2 Timothy 3:16
All (Hebrew) Scripture is given by inspiration of Yahuah, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of Yahuah may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

We should all study The Law in its entirety to understand Yahusha’s role as High Priest, to become better people in general, to stay healthy, and to prepare ourselves for our roles as Kings, Priests, and Judges in the coming Kingdom.
