The Glass

The Lord said, “These are my Feast Days”
They were never Jewish (Leviticus 23)
The lord said to Moses and Aaron, “You are to begin your calendar with this month: It will be the first month of the year for you (David Stern’s translation) Exodus 12:1
What he then proceeds to outline is how he wants the Passover celebrated (Death of the Lamb] He begins to outline how he wants these things done. (The beginning of HIS FEAST DAYS or appointed times.

1. He wants the calendar to begin on a specific month
2. He wants these events on the calendar to be specific celebrations.
3. He is filling out his day timer for the next 4000 years.
4. He is creating the nation of Israel.
5. He is preparing these people to teach all of us.
(Which they did, every time you open your bible you prove it.)

THE GLASS:

Take an empty glass, set it on the table and call it Messiah or Yeshua or Jesus. Now begin to put into it all of the things that the LORD commanded the Jews to do based on his Feast Days, his calendar and, all of his instruction to Moses (which included the Law)
Galatians 3:19 "The Law was added.....
QUESTION: Added to what?
Now that you have the glass full of all of the commands, statutes and law...you now have Israel or the Jewish nation.

The Jewish leaders did not make these commands they disobeyed these commands, including the law, which they misunderstood!
They set up the framework but didn’t follow the content explicitly. This is why Jesus had such a difficult time with the Jewish leaders many, many years later.
The Jewish leadership took what was in the glass but, tossed away the glass. [Remember, the crowds followed Jesus and many were saved. It was all of those early Jews who started the Messianic age or Church age. (None of them stopped being Jewish.)]
Many of these very people knew who he was before he arrived and they knew he would die and rise up again. Here is how I know this to be the truth; Those Jews wrote a book telling all of us the story, from Genesis to Revelations. The three wise kings represent this as fact very clearly!
The Gentile church, in its infancy dumped out the contents of the glass and made Jesus, the Messiah or Yeshua into a Christian. They filled up the glass with their own image of how he was. (Similar to a golden calf scenario)
The Church did not teach us his Hebrew nature. The council of Nicea (and they were several gatherings over the years) was designed to rid the bible of the Jewish thought, Jewish tradition and Jewish teaching. Remember, these were never Jewish. What he put into the glass made the Hebrew people Jewish. He created the nation of Israel while in the desert.
The council banned the instructions which included the 613 laws that the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron to put into the glass! Just as Aaron worshiped the golden calf, he did so not because they did not believe but because they made HIM into their own image. (It would be hard not to believe what they were seeing, the entire mountain top was in flames.)

If the Lord were to come today, to be crucified and resurrected he would have the same difficulty with the Christian leaders because they rejected what he put into the glass. The Gentiles leadership only teaches about the glass.
The church does not know the nature of the glass (which is Hebrew, the Lord was Jewish) Due to the Glory of the Lord the church nevertheless, has done very well representing his birth, death and resurrection!

Paul was commanded to teach the Gentiles what was in the glass. He was never a Christian, he was a Pharisaical priest. What was in the glass was not the New Testament but rather God's commands. The New Testament did not exist.

The New Covenant had commenced. The letters found in the Brit Hadasha (New Testament) are the testimony of this final covenant found in Jeremiah 31: 31-40 and Hebrews chapter 10, "I shall make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and the House of Judah . It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers."
Perhaps, this was the covenant that grafted the Gentiles into the Olive Tree? (I think so!)

The Lord inaugurated everything that was put into the glass 1500+ years earlier on Mt Sinai. He required a sacrifice to initiate the Mosaic Covenant (This is important)

The Lord fulfilled the Law?...Then why did he teach it for three years along with everything else that the law was added to? In fact, why did he teach the very things he told Moses? Actually, what he fulfilled was the first part of his day timer. He had kept all of the first appointments.

[John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

1 John 2:1-4 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

1 John 3:24. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

1 John 5:2-3 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.]
NOW you know, in part what the law was added to. (smile)
None of us are returning to the law or that part of HIS instructions which was added. He freed us from this bondage in much the same way he freed the Jews from the bondage of Pharaoh.
He commanded the Jews to teach all of us his instruction. He then came just as the Prophets said he would (He shared these future events with them often) He came and completed what Moses taught along with all of the Patriarchs, perfectly. This is exactly what the Jews have done except for the fact that they misunderstood the Law. It is for this reason the church has a misunderstanding of the law as well.
None of us are under the law we are under grace...so was King David, Moses, Joshua, Joseph, the The Lord inaugurated the New Covenant (which required a sacrifice, Himself) He does not remember our sin. So, if you want to see clearly what the Lord is doing today and who he is:

  1. You have to accept the glass and learn about all that HE put into it.
  2. You will learn about his appointments and his day timer.
  3. You will see that certain of HIS Feast Days are yet to be fulfilled.
  4. You will see that He is completing the New Covenant promise according to his appointed times.
  5. You will know the end from the beginning, Isaiah 46:10

*You have to stop rejecting his “Jewish-ness” because this is what he used to fill up the glass. The whole world system is trying to break the glass and destroy all of its content. Just like he told the Jews to write about, which they did!*

Soon & Very Soon

Let me be the first to say that I know my grammar is horrible! (Smile)
For a few days now I have been reflecting on Leviticus 26. The entire chapter outlines what the Lord is willing to do to get our attention. From allowing terror, pestilence, poverty and war so as to get us to repent and follow his will for us, (to keep us from ourselves really.) Then I look at the news headlines which have an abundance of stories that reveal how fast we are tumbling out of control as we turn against one another?

The Lord is blaring across the cosmos his coming judgment(s) as a result of our unwillingness to do what he commands. It is as though (when you understand his signs) I can look up at the sky and read exactly what he is doing, knowing that a cataclysmic event is soon to happen followed by war unlike anything God's children have ever seen. When this will happen is also screaming across the peaks of his mountains, "soon & very soon!"

People reject or they don't understand the signs. There is such a movement against the Jews or anything Hebrew and yet the signs are Hebrew in nature and as clear as is the sun and the moon. (When you understand how HE continues to reveal himself through his Hebrew ways) I tire of the separation between my elder brothers and sisters, the Jews. I continue to learn so much from what Hashem has poured into these people for centuries. The world vilifies these people and yet they are the most amazing people on earth?

People choose to use titles such as Messianic Movement or Hebraic Root to describe who I am or my faith and yet this is actually ridiculous, really! It is the LORD himself doing exactly what he said he would do, reveal himself through a very Hebrew man who we came to know as Abraham.

The divided children of the covenants are the very reason the first born and the adopted don't see the signs. Nevertheless, we are all too eager to argue about the various man made titles that describe our man made position.

We are so focused on self or man that we cannot see the earth shaking, the seas rising, the stars shifting and the sun and the moon doing (with amazing consistency) exactly what the LORD said would occur. We call it science or global warming or any number of things because we cannot see the LORD’S word manifest in his creation. (While Al Gore makes millions from the warnings?)

He appeared before the Patriarchs over and over again. The story of him revealing who he is, his word and his very presence through this nation, that he created from the Hebrew people is no different now. The rejection of his very Hebrew nature is what blinds folks from seeing the signs. The nations roaring against Israel for example is the physical representation of how those same nations are roaring against him.

He continues to warn those who embrace Israel that he is coming with furious judgment. You see, those nations as a whole are us!

I wish I could take what he has put into my brain and set it to a DVD. The Lord continues to make it quite clear to me to stay out of fruitless discussion. It is not about Republican or Democrat, the United States of America or China or Islam, Jew or Christian; none of that matters.

What matters is, are we seeing, hearing and obeying the Lord? Are we tossing everything we know aside so that we can focus on the same Hebrew voice that spoke to Paul on the road to Damascus. This is how he is addressing all of us at this very moment.

I am truly saddened this week because Leviticus 26 is telling all of us what we confuse as news headlines, we don't know HIS ways. He is representing to us in virtually every dimension of his word, crystal clarity what he is willing to do in order to get our attention. HE is not a respecter of persons. HE has not changed. A calamitous heavy hand of the Lord is near. It will be certainly nothing new to how he has done things for nearly 6000 years. It is HIS Hebrew nature that was poured into Isaac. It is this very nature that is warning all of us and the world sees it as a Jewish thing.

The Lord has never represented himself as a two thousand year old Christian but has always insisted himself to be the eternal King of the Jews and all of those grafted into the covenants

  • The flood happened suddenly. (A hurricane type Katrina came suddenly and lasted for forty days and forty nights)
  • The sky rained down fireballs and the ground opened suddenly; Sodom and Gomorrah were no more.
  • The walls or Jericho fell suddenly (The defenses of the people were useless)
  • During a six year period millions were destroyed with conventional weapons.
  • A nuclear holocaust is soon to be unleashed while the world debates semantics?

What is about to happen will happen suddenly, it will astound the people. If given the opportunity I shall bow and know it is of the Lord.

We will not call it a Christian or a Hebraic Root or Jewish or even an Islamic occurrence.

We will be shocked where we should not have been!
