“The one (Yahusha) who
enters by the narrow gate (of Passover)
is the Shepherd (Bridegroom) of the
sheep (Bride). The Gatekeeper (Father of the Bride/Groom, Yahuah) opens the gate
for him (Yahusha), and the sheep listen
to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out (of bondage to sin and death, through
The Narrow Gate). When he has brought out all his
own (from among the nations), he goes on
ahead of them (into The Kingdom as The Great
Shephered), and his sheep follow him because they know his
voice” ... John
10:1-4
There are two Messiahs prophesied in Scripture. There is
only one, however, prophesied by Yahuah in the Heavenly Scroll. Over time, our
descendants lost contact (coming out of Babylon) with the message
contained in The Heavenly Scroll. The Plan of Salvation was foretold in the
heavens, where00000. one man (the strong man) would run the course
of a Wedding as the Bridegroom (Psalms 19). He would give his
life for his Bride as a ransom/dowry, and he is portrayed as “a Lamb that has
been slaughtered from the foundation of the world” in the stars. Eternal life
would result from his death, and he would come back for his Bride, and ultimately
be victorious over the dragon.
The Plan of Salvation in The Heavenly Scroll was further
articulated by His Prophets, where this Heavenly Wedding in the stars was laid
out, in more detail in the Earthly Scroll by the Feast Cycle. This Feast Cycle
portrays the Engagement (the Spring Feasts) and the Wedding
(the Fall Feasts). In this yearly rehearsal of The Heavenly Wedding, the
Spring Feasts were designed to teach us about the Engagement, where the Bride
and Groom are made ready on the ‘preparation day’, then the Groom would pay the
“dowry” and redeem his Bride with his own life, shedding his own blood to
consummate the Marriage covenant. They would then be Engaged and commit to the
Wedding Vows on Shav’uot. Then the Fall Feasts are a rehearsal of the
Wedding itself, whereas laid out in The Heavenly Scroll, the Father
chooses a Bride for His son, and the Bride is revealed on Earth, then the
Bride is risen to meet her Groom (Trumpets). Then the Bride and Groom
are wed (on the Day of Atonement) and they atone for Creation together.
Then the Wedding Supper of the Lamb takes place over a 7-day feast (Tabernacles).
All this knowledge was lost in Babylonian Captivity. The
House of Judah began longing for their King to return and deliver them from
bondage to the nations and establish his Kingdom. They didn’t want the
Engagement, they wanted to jump directly to the Wedding, without the Groom
fulfilling his responsibilities to the Father by paying the dowry to first redeem
the Bride.
All of this is spoken in prophecy as The Messiah ben Joseph
(suffering servant) and Messiah ben David (conquering King).
There is an order proclaimed in The Heavenly Scroll and fulfillment had to be
in that order. We see that even John the Immerser, the fulfillment of Elijah,
was unsure how these prophecies would be fulfilled.
Luke 7:19
19
And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to Yahusha, saying,
Are You the Coming One (who comes twice),
or should we expect another (Messiah to come as
King)?
By the time the Messiah came to redeem his Bride, the High
Priesthood had fallen, and the Temple had come under the control of “Priests”
appointed by Rome. They did not prepare the House of Judah for the reality of the
Messiah’s role, they were only interested in the “business of The Temple” (sound
familiar?). When the Messiah did come, he was the fulfillment, by
bloodline, to both the Throne of David and the Office of Zadok High Priest.
He was the long-awaited Melchi Tsedek. He was the one
prophesied to restore both the Throne and the Priesthood (which had fallen into
the hands of Rome), and Yahusha was a threat (as the true High Priest
and King of Israel), therefore he had to die (as did all the other Zadok
Priests and aspiring Davidian Princes under Herod’s pogroms).
The people of Israel heard, those threatened by
Yahusha, teach them lies (in the Synagogues and Temple) about how
Yahusha was an imposter and had not come to
liberate them. Therefore, he was not the long-awaited Messiah. The people of
Judah were led astray and did not recognize their
Messiah because they did not understand The Heavenly Scroll, the
prophecies of the two Messiahs, or the meaning of the Feast Cycle. Everything
had become a burdensome “ritualistic task” with no meaning. The
loving intent of the Glorious Wedding was replaced with enmity toward
Yahuah and His instructions in Righteousness. They were just “going through the
motions”.
Spiritually this
was according to the Plan of Yahuah. The House of Judah had to be the ones to
make the sacrifice of the Lamb, so Yahuah had set this plan in motion. He would
blind their eyes so that Yahusha could pay the dowry and redeemed his Bride
from the Law of Sin and Death (sin and you die by decree). If they
had accepted him, they would never have allowed him to die on Passover. It is
interesting, that even though they did not understand, they proclaimed the
truth of “what” he was doing.
John 11
49
But one of them, Caiaphas, who was High Priest that year, said to them, "You
know nothing at all, 50 nor do you take into account that it is expedient
for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not
perish." 51 Now he did not say this on his own initiative, but being High
Priest that year, he prophesied that Yahusha was going to die for the nation”
Initially, just
after the Messiah came, there were true Nazarenes who knew the Scriptures and
understood The Heavenly Scroll, such as Sha’ul. They taught in the synagogues,
and the Jews came to their
Messiah in drovers. The Nazarenes exploded on the scene and outnumbered every
other sect in Israel (Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, Zealots, etc.). Soon,
however, the Jews fell victim to Hellenism, and Judaism was overcome by
Hellenism (this is admitted even by Jews today when Gamaliel, Sha’ul’s mentor,
died). Gamaliel, the greatest Rabbi in Jewish history (outside of
John
the Immerser, Yahusha the Messiah, and Sha’ul the Apostle whom they deny),
even accepted Yahusha as the Messiah (which Judaism denies today).
Gamaliel maintained his position in the power elite of The Temple to use
his influence to protect the Nazarenes. Once Judaism succumbed to Hellenism,
they wrote lies in the Talmud about Yahusha, and literally outlawed Nazarenes
from entering the Synagogues. The Nazarenes were forced into hiding and the House
of Judah was at the mercy of Hellenized Rabbinical Judaism where it remains
today. For more information, see my book
The Nazarene!
You can’t become part of Judaism without renouncing the Messiah, because
they have been taught lies about their King for 2000 years. That is compounded
by Christianity who presents the world with a total false Greek demi-god
patterned after Tammuz and Antiochus (who abolished The Law). All the
prophetic Scriptures pointing to the Messiah were “re-introduced” by Rabbinical
Judaism. Now these Scriptures that plainly prove Yahusha is the Messiah are
mistaught as though these Scriptures were about the nation of Israel, and not
about the Messiah. The fact is… the people of Judah today are never properly
introduced to their Messiah! For more information on this topic, please read my
book Melchizedek
and the Passover Lamb. You can
learn more on my website
www.sabbathcovenant.com.
There will come a day, when Yahuah
will raise up true Nazarenes who are equipped to reason with the Jews
from their own scriptures (as Sha’ul did), and explain to them
everything I just said. They will introduce them to the true Messiah.
They will begin to see Yahusha for who he really was: The High Priest of
Israel, King of Israel, the fulfillment of The Heavenly Scroll, and
the most influential man in history, was one of their own. They will
reclaim the greatest “Jew” who ever lived back to themselves. Yahusha will
return to receive them as their King at that time, and then come as the
Messiah ben David and setup his Kingdom.
For 2000 years,
we all have been misled on how to enter The Narrow Gate
by
Christianity and Judaism. We keep the baptized pagan rituals of
Easter or the Seder. Instead of properly preparing ourselves as the Bride of
the Messiah… we have fallen from The Way (which is the example
Yahusha set on Passover):
John 13:15
15"For I gave you an example that you
also should do as I did to you. 16 "Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is
not greater than his Master, nor is one who is sent greater than the One who
sent him
He then proceeded to be Mikveh'd,
Circumcised, and brought his life to the Altar as a living sacrificial
Offering.
By making the proper sacrifice, the Veil was torn, giving us all access to the
Altar of Yahuah to bring our own lives as living sacrifices as The Law prescribes!
Sadly, no one understands these Spiritual Truths laid out by the example
Yahusha set. Only those who are prepared properly as His Bride
will be risen to participate in The Wedding.
Ephesians 5
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as the
Messiah (the Groom) loved the body (his Bride) and gave himself up for her (as the Passover Lamb) 26 to make her Holy, (ritually) cleansing her by the washing with
living water (Mikveh) through The
Commandments (Circumcision), 27 and to
present her (properly) to himself as a
radiant assembly, without spot or wrinkle or any other blemish (as spotless Passover
Lambs of Yahuah, “offering”), but
Holy
and blameless.
Yahusha the
Messiah came the first time to fulfill The Passover Season. Passover is The
Narrow Gate that leads us out of bondage and into the Kingdom of
Yahuah.
There are two
issues facing the Nazarene followers of Yahusha today concerning Yahuah’s
Appointed Times:
1.
When do we celebrate these
Appointed Times?
2.
How do we properly fulfill our
roles in these prophetic rehearsals?
I wrote this book
to answer those two questions clearly, so that the Nazarene Assembly of true
believers will be faithful to meet Yahuah on His Appointed Feasts and in a way
that brings Glory to Him. We must know The Way that we can properly fulfill our
role as the Bride of the Messiah (not Yahuah) by preparing
ourselves through Mikveh, Circumcision, and Offering.
For 2000 years, the traditions of
Hellenized Rabbinical Judaism and the pagan false religion of Christianity has
dominated the hearts and minds of the people. We were all brought up committing
The Abomination of Desolation by keeping Easter
over Passover (as I will explain later). We came out of Babylon,
repented, and looked for answers as to “how” we keep His Appointed Times;
we then began following the human traditions of the Pharisees, known
today as Rabbinical Judaism. We literally went from one pagan ritual to another,
remaining unfaithful in our attempts at obedience by not following the
example set by Yahusha on Passover. This book will give us all clear
instructions on how to properly enter The Narrow Gate by following the “true
way that leads to Eternal life” ... The Truth, the Way, and the Life example of
our Messiah.
The Narrow Gate is very narrow, and
very few there are that find it! In this book, I am going to explain that
Narrow Gate, and why it is so very narrow. I am going to develop The Narrow
Gate Scripturally as follows:

Abomination of DesolationMy goal is to
develop The Narrow Gate of Passover, which was prophesied in The
Heavenly Scroll, saved Isaac from death, led the Israelites out of bondage and
into the Promised Land, and has been rehearsed for thousands of years before
the Messiah came to fulfill it. It is “The Way” to Yahuah, through Passover,
that Yahusha came to show us. It is the same requirements that have always
joined us to the Commonwealth of Israel. Yahusha came to transpose these
requirements, and we, now, are instructed to follow his example of Mikveh,
Circumcision, and Offering. HalleluYahuah! And Worthy is the
Lamb, Yahusha the Messiah!
After reading
this book, we will all know how we are to meet on the first night of Passover
to eat leavened bread, drink wine, and Mikveh ourselves clean of sin. How we
enter into The Yahushaic Covenant
by our word, and “remember” the meaning of Passover; discussing our role in the
upcoming days. How we then are to “prepare” ourselves on the day of
preparation, offering our lives to Yahuah as living sacrifices on His Altar.
How we all should celebrate the coming Kingdom for 1 week eating lamb and
unleavened bread. Finally, how we all meet with our Father on
Shav’uot to Circumcise our hearts, and agree to the Wedding
Vows, becoming Engaged to be married to Yahusha our Bridegroom in the
Fall Wedding
