Allow me to paint a picture and summarize very
simply what Yahuah’s Purpose is. Note: “Sons” is all
inclusive of sons and daughters.
Yahuah created the Universe as an
inheritance for His sons. He purposed the fall of mankind and Creation
into a lower realm called the Physical Realm which is corruptible. This
physical Creation is used to train His future Divine children to rule
His Creation within a Divine Government called Heaven or the Spiritual
Realm.
His sons are being introduced to this
Creation and trained to serve in Yahuah’s government/Kingdom through a
life on Earth which is their “wilderness” as they sojourn in temporary
Sukkots (their physical bodies). It is this life on Earth where the sons
are introduced to their Father, and by following the Way, established by
the first born son, they all obtain eternal life. When all of Yahuah’s
children have completed this training, they liberate Creation from the
physical realm and govern over it. Upon resurrection, all sons inherit
the Universe from their Father as co-heirs with their elder brother and
first born son Yahusha who is the Messiah/Anointed King.
These risen Spiritual sons are organized
into a literal Kingdom or government and further trained to govern and
rule during a 1,000-year span on a renewed Earth. The first born son,
Yahusha, reigns as King of Kings and High Priest. Over the 1,000-year,
Sabbath Millennium Yahusha teaches the other sons to properly judge and
to govern by the Torah which is the constitution of this government.
After the 1,000-year training period is
over, this government or Kingdom grows exponentially until it
effectively governs the entire Universe as all His sons are elevated as
Priest/Kings. This “Kingdom” or “Government” which reigns eternally over
Creation is… “Heaven” also called the Kingdom of Yahuah or
Kingdom of Heaven. This Kingdom is our destiny, this Universe is our
inheritance.
Is the
simplistic overview above true? Let us take a quick tour of scripture
and see.
Matthew 10
7 And
as you go, preach, saying, ‘the Kingdom of Yahuah is
at hand.’
Let’s
examine exactly “What” that stated purpose is! To understand that
purpose is to know why you are here. What is your purpose? What was
Yahuah’s purpose in creating the Universe? Why does Yahuah suffer evil
and evildoers? Every question is answered with the understanding of
Yahuah’s purpose.
It is with this purpose of Yahuah in mind that
we must approach the Bible and all things in it. This life is our
training; the Bible is our textbook.
In order to establish His Spiritual Kingdom,
Yahuah had to first create a “need” for a savior by causing the fall of
Creation. Adam’s fall was by design; it didn’t come as a surprise to
Yahuah. It was necessary to fulfill His purpose in our training.
Isaiah 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create
evil: I Yahuah
do all these things.
Once the need was created and a system of
training put into place in the physical realm (good vs. evil); then
Yahuah could introduce His sons to His Creation through a life on Earth.
It is during this life where they experience the fallen nature of
Creation firsthand and navigate this fallen state to find their true
identity as sons of Yahuah. During this life, they would be trained
through the process of “trial/error” in His Word. Man would learn,
firsthand, that Yahuah’s way is always the best way, and our way (will)
is not.
Let’s look at what the Apostle Sha’ul has to say
as he very eloquently discusses this entire process in Romans. We see
Sha’ul teaches the purpose of Yahuah, His Ordained Holy Days, and more.
We see that Sha’ul had a deep understanding of the purpose of Creation,
the need for the Kingdom of Yahuah, and the meaning of the
Feast Cycle as rehearsals for that coming Spiritual Kingdom.
Romans 8 – Our
Hope and His Purpose
18 I
consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with
the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 For
the Creation waits in eager expectation for the children of Yahuah
to be revealed. 20 For
the Creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice,
but by the will of the One (Yahuah)
who subjected it (Creation
to the fall), in
hope 21 that
the Creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and
brought into the freedom and glory of the children of Yahuah
(that
was the purpose of the fall! That His sons could be trained by it
and come to rule over it and liberate it). 22 We
know that the whole Creation has been groaning as in the pains of
childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not
only so, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit (Shav’uot),
groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the
redemption of our bodies. 24 For
in this hope we were saved (Spring
Feasts).
But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they
already have? 25 But
if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it (Fall
Feasts - fulfillment of the Sabbath, 7th Millennium)
patiently. 26 In
the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know
what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us
through wordless groans. 27 And
He Who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit because the
Spirit intercedes for Yahuah’s people in accordance with the will of
Yahuah. 28 And
we know that in all things Yahuah works for the good of those who
love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For
those Yahuah foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the
image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers
and sisters. 30 And
those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also
justified; those He justified, He
also glorified.
With Sha’ul’s introduction to the entire
“purpose” of Yahuah and the future destiny of the sons of Yahuah to
liberate and govern His Creation, let us continue our journey to
understand the Kingdom of Yahuah. Let’s look at the
Mystery of the Ages which is the revelation that Yahuah is
begetting a family of elohim in His literal image to rule His Creation
given them as an inheritance.
In the Book of Ephesians, Sha’ul addresses the
“Mystery of the Ages”. This “mystery” is The Heavenly Scroll and that is
where Yahuah’s Will is written and the Plan of Salvation He follows. It
is His Will written in The Heavenly Scroll that the Messiah came to
fulfill.
Ephesians 1:9-10
9
He made known to us the mystery of His will according
to his good pleasure, written in The Heavenly Scroll which He
purposed to fulfill in The Yahushaic Covenant (Daniel
4:35), 10 to be put into effect when the ages reach
their fulfillment (Age of Aquarius)
—
Daniel 4:35
35 "All the
inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, but He does
according to His will written in the hosts of Heaven.
(sometimes translated as ‘starry hosts’ or
‘Heavenly hosts’. Constellations host stars, so this means
‘constellations of The Heavenly Scroll’)
Psalm 89:2
I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you have
established your faithful promise (LOGOS) of salvation in The Heavenly Scroll itself.
Psalm 119:89
Your Word (LOGOS / DEBAR), Yahuah, is Eternal; it Stands Firm written in The Heavenly Scroll.
Hebrews
10:7
Then I
said, 'Here I am--it is written about me in the Heavenly scroll-- I
have come to do your will, my God! (Matthew
6:10)
Matthew 6:10
Your
kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is (written) in (the) Heaven(ly scroll).
The Mystery of Yahuah, hidden from the
foundation of the Universe, is that Yahuah’s predestined plan was to procreate
a family of “godlike ones” called elohim. This family is
likened unto a “body” which will be the Spiritual Temple of Yahuah in
and through which Yahuah dwells. The head of this body is the first born
son Yahusha and the body is the assembly of chosen sons of Yahuah known
as Remnant Israel. It is through this family of “godlike
ones” or elohim that the Universe will be governed in righteousness for
eternity by The Kingdom of Yahuah.
Let’s look at the scriptures to support this
revelation with my commentary in parenthesis.
Hebrews
2:10-18
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 (a life
and death on Earth). 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 (we
are literally “elohim” and offspring of Yahuah – Psalm 82:6).
So Yahusha is not ashamed to call them (Remnant
Israel) brothers and sisters (Yahusha
is our elder brother, not our Elohim). 12 He says,
“I (Yahusha) will declare Your Name
to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly, I will sing Your
praises (we don’t sing praises to “Jesus”
we worship Yahuah alone).” 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).” 14 Since the (future)
children have flesh and blood (are trained
by a life on Earth), he (Yahusha)
too shared in their humanity (as a human
trained by a life on Earth) so that by his death he, Yahusha,
might break the power of him who holds the power of death that is,
the devil — 15 and free those who all their lives were
held in slavery by their fear of death (We
are not held in slavery to the Law but fear of death for disobeying
it). 16 For surely it is not angels Yahusha helps,
but Abraham’s descendants (the bloodline of
the sons of Yahuah remains defined by the Abrahamic Covenant). 17 For
this reason he (Yahusha) had to be
made like them (he was made human not a
demi-god), fully human in every way (can’t
get any clearer than that) in order that he might become a
merciful and faithful high priest (Wonderful
Counselor) in service to Yahuah (he
is Yahuah’s High Priest, not Yahuah in the flesh), and that
he might make atonement for the sins of the people (because
the Law that governs sacrifices and atonement has been transposed to
Heaven to serve Melchizedek). 18 Because he
himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those (brothers
and sisters in the Family of Yahuah) who are being tempted.
Above Sha’ul specifically identifies that family
as being of the bloodline of Abraham/Isaac/Jacob re-affirming that the Abrahamic
Covenant remains in effect. Sha’ul also says we are being held
captive to the threat of death i.e. “sin, therefore, you die by decree”
which is known as the Law of Sin and Death. We are not
held captive by the Holy Law of Yahuah.
Now
let’s continue on topic with the revelation of the Family of
Yahuah. Next, Sha’ul continues describing this amazing Mystery of
the Family of Yahuah. This “family” is known as “elohim” which
means “gods”. We now are human, Yahuah is not human He is “Elohim”.
Upon resurrection or the transposition of our bodies from physical to
Spiritual, we too will be “elohim”, begotten in Yahuah’s
full image as sons.
We see
that pro-creating a family of “gods” was the very “purpose of Yahuah” in
Creation.
Ephesians 1
1 Sha’ul,
an apostle of Messiah Yahusha by the will of Yahuah, to the saints
which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in (covenant
with) Messiah Yahusha: 2 Grace be to you, and
peace, from Yahuah our Father (of Elohim),
and from the King Messiah Yahusha. 3 Blessed be the
Elohim (Sha’ul declares the Shema or “Seal”
of the Kingdom of Yahuah) and Father of our King
Messiah Yahusha, who (Yahuah) hath
blessed us (His sons, Elohim) with
all spiritual blessings in Heavenly places (the
Kingdom of Yahuah) in (covenant
with) Yahusha (we are co-heirs): 4 According
(to Yahuah’s purpose) as He (Yahuah)
hath chosen (predestined) us in Him(self),
(we are in covenant with Yahuah through the
Yahushaic Covenant which is a marriage covenant where “the two
shall become one”. It is in that way that Yahusha and all his
brothers/sisters are ONE with Yahuah) before the foundation
of the world (it was Yahuah’s purpose from
the beginning before Creation to pro-create a family), that
we should be holy and without blame before Him (Yahuah)
in love (through a
marriage covenant):5 Having predestinated us unto
the adoption of children (sons of Yahuah)
by (the life sacrifice of) Messiah
Yahusha to Himself (Yahuah),
according to the good pleasure of his (Yahuah’s)
will (to pro-create
a family… His Purpose),
6 To
the praise of the glory of His (Yahuah’s)
grace, wherein Yahuah hath made us (through
Yahusha whose blood covers the decrees) accepted in
the beloved (family of Elohim
7 in accordance with the riches of Yahuah’s grace
8 that He lavished on us. With all wisdom and
understanding, 9 he made known to us the mystery
of His will according to his good pleasure, written in The
Heavenly Scroll which He purposed to fulfill in The Yahushaic
Covenant (Daniel 4:35), 10
to be put into effect when the ages reach their fulfillment (Age
of Aquarius) —to bring unity to all things in Heaven
and on earth under Yahusha the King (LEO).
11 In covenant with him we were also chosen, having been
predestined according to the plan of Yahuah who works out everything
in conformity with the purpose of His will, written in The Heavenly
Scroll (Daniel 4:35), 12
in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Yahusha as
the fulfillment of The Heavenly Scroll (Matthew
6:10, Hebrews 10:7), might be for the praise of Yahuah’s
glory. 13 And you also were included in covenant with the
Messiah when you heard what the stars proclaim
(Psalm 19) the message of truth (Psalm
89:2, Psalm 119:89, Psalm 89:2), the gospel of your salvation
preached by the constellations (Isaiah
48:11-15). When you believed, you were marked in covenant
with Yahusha with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14
which is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption
of those who are Yahuah’s possession—to the praise of His glory.
…
17 That the Elohim (Sha’ul
again declares the Shema) of
our King Messiah Yahusha (Yahuah is
Yahusha’s Elohim too), the Father of glory, may give unto you
the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him(self): 18 The eyes of your understanding being
enlightened (to His Purpose to procreate a
Family); that you may know what is the hope of His (Yahuah)
calling (you as a son), and
what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the
saints (we inherit the Universe),
19 And
what is the exceeding greatness of Yahuah’s power toward us (as
sons) who believe, according to the working of His (Yahuah's)
mighty power, 20 Which He (Yahuah)
demonstrated in the Messiah, when Yahuah raised Yahusha from the
dead (confirming Yahusha’s sonship),
and Yahuah set Yahusha at Yahuah’s own right hand (of
the throne of Creation. Yahusha is Yahuah’s proxy King) in the
Kingdom of Yahuah, 21 Far above all principality,
and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named,
not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
22 And (Yahuah) hath put all
things under his (Yahusha’s) feet,
and Yahuah gave Yahusha (the first born Son)
to be the head (of His Family) over
all things to the assembly (of His sons), 23 Which
is His (Yahuah’s Temple or) body,
the fullness of Him (Yahuah) that
fills all in all.
Sha’ul is describing the Mystery of the Ages, which is the
revelation of the eternal family of Yahuah predestined and purchased
through the blood of the Lamb. That Yahuah’s family is His Glory. The
head of the body (Yahuah’s Spiritual Temple) is the Messiah, the first
born son, and the rest of His sons are the body. This body of sons of
Yahuah (head and all) will liberate Creation and rule over it within a
divine system of government.
