1 Therefore (speaking to recent converts of
The House of Judah in Israel previously held captive to the fear of
death in The Mosaic Covenant), we must pay closer attention to
the truths we have heard about The Yahushaic Covenant, so that we
do not drift away from it (and back under
bondage to death/The Mosaic Covenant). 2 For if the
message declared through angels was true, and every transgression or
disobedience received a just penalty (defined
by the Death Decrees in The Law), 3 how can we escape
(the ‘Certificate of Debt’ we owe for our sin –
Colossians 2:14) if we neglect so great a salvation from our sin?
(found in covenant with Yahusha our High Priest
Jeremiah 31:31-34) Salvation from the death decrees (called
Grace) was declared at first through the Messiah, and those who
heard him testified of this Grace to us. 4 All the while
Yahuah added His testimony with signs, wonders, and various miracles,
and then by blessing each of us with gifts of the Holy Spirit according
to His will.
---------------------- COMMENTARY & CONTEXT
----------------------
Universal Grace was not found in The Mosaic Covenant; there was just
“limited” Grace to individuals based on Yahuah’s Will for specific
purposes not related so “sin”:
Romans 9:15
15 For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” 16 So then,
it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on Yahuah’s
mercy.…
Sha’ul
calls The Mosaic Covenant The Law of Sin and Death, The Yahushaic
Covenant he calls “The Law of the Spirit of Life”:
Romans 8
1 Now there is no condemnation (referring to the Death Decrees/Certificate of Debt) for those in The Yahushaic Covenant. 2 For the Law of the Spirit
of life in (Covenant with) Yahusha the Messiah, has made me free from the Law of Sin and
Death (in The Mosaic Covenant). 3 For what The Law could not do (bring
Eternal Life as Promised) because The Law was made weak by our
flesh, Yahuah did (provided Eternal Life as a free gift to
those who try to keep the ‘intent’ of The Law and fail i.e. Grace) by sending His Own (Firstborn
Again) Son in the likeness of sinful flesh (as a man fully human in every way, Hebrews 2:17), on account of sin (to defeat
it by living Obedient to The Law and dying innocent after his Mikveh
as High Priest): Yahusha condemned sin in the flesh (our genetic death sentence inherited from Adam, Romans 5:12), 4 that the Righteous Requirement of The Law might be Fulfilled
in us (too, like Yahusha, Matthew 3:15 when
we follow The Way and are Mikveh’d clean with Living Water) who do not walk according to the flesh (disobedient to The Law) but
according to the Spirit (of loving Obedience, Ezekiel 36: 26,
27)
Forgiveness of sin/transgression of His Commands and Ordinances was
not granted until Yahusha fulfilled his purpose and offered himself
on Passover for his brothers/sisters. This is the promise of the New
or Yahushaic Covenant:
Jeremiah 31 – The Yahushaic Covenant
“Behold, the days are coming, declares Yahuah, when I will establish
a new covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah…
12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will
remember their sins no more.”
As a result, universal Grace was given
to all whom enter into The Yahushaic Covenant, amounting to “grace
upon grace”:
John 1:16-17
16 From Yahuah’s fullness we have all received grace upon grace. 17
For the law with active death decrees was given through Moses; grace
(forgiveness of sin) and truth came
to all who enter through covenant with Yahusha the Messiah.
5 Now Yahuah did not subject the coming Kingdom, about which we are
speaking, to angels (in the first part of this
letter/Chapter 1 Sha’ul declared the coming Kingdom is our inheritance.
This is what he is referring to here). 6 But as King
David has testified in Psalm 8:4-6:
“What are human beings that you
are mindful of them, or mortals, that you care for them? 7
You have made them for a little while lower than the angels (as
they are trained by a life on Earth through teachers and tutors although
they are destined to liberate and govern Creation in the coming Kingdom
-- Galatians 4:1-3); you have crowned them with glory and honor (in
Yahuah’s Image), 8 subjecting all things under their
feet (Romans 8:18-20).”
---------------------- COMMENTARY & CONTEXT

Galatians 4
1 Now I say, as
long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave
although he is owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and
tutors until the date set by the father. 3 So also we, while we were
children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the
world. 4 But when the fullness of the time (the
time of fulfillment of The Heavenly Scroll: end of the Age of
ARIES) came, Yahuah sent forth His son, born human of
a woman, born under the Death Decrees in the Law, 5 so that he might
redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the
adoption as sons. 6 Because you are sons, Yahuah has sent forth the
Spirit of Sonship into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7
Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then
an heir of Yahuah through Yahusha the firstborn son.
Romans 8: - The Revealing of the Sons of Yahuah
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not
worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creation (Creation
Cries Out!) waits for the revealing of the sons of Yahuah (upon
the first resurrection). 20 For creation was made subject to
a fallen state, not willingly, but by the will of Yahuah Who
subjected creation to a fallen state in hope; 21 Because creation
itself will also be delivered from the bondage of corruption and
be liberated by the children of Yahuah (the
sons of Yahuah will liberate it and properly govern it).
Now in subjecting Creation (which
moans in bondage to corruption awaiting their/our revelation Romans
8:18-20) to them, Yahuah left nothing outside their control (in
the coming Kingdom Age of AQUARIUS). As it is, we
do not yet see everything in subjection to them (being
in the Age of PISCES, our ‘hope’ in the resurrection is faith in the
coming Age of AQUARIUS per The Heavenly Scroll)

because he gave his life for his
own and his brother’s sin as High Priest (Hebrews

---------------------- COMMENTARY & CONTEXT
----------------------
Hebrews 5
2 he can deal
gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is
beset with weakness; 3 and because of his own weakness he is
obligated to offer sacrifices for sins, as for the people, so
also for himself. 4 And no one takes the honor to himself (to
atone as High Priest), but receives it when he is called by
Yahuah, even as Aaron was. 5 So also Yahusha did not glorify himself
so as to become a high priest, but Yahuah who said to Yahusha, “YOU
ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU”; 6 just as He says also in
another passage, “YOU ARE A HIGH PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE
ORDER OF THE HOUSE OF ZADOK.” 7 In the days he was flesh/human, he
offered up repentance both prayers and supplications with
loud crying and tears to the One God Yahuah able to save him from
death (the penalty of his sin), and
Yahuah heard his cries because of His reverent obedience. 8 Although
he was a son (of many to come), he
learned obedience from the discipline which he suffered (for
disobedience like all men). 9 And having been made perfect (through
suffering discipline), he became to all those who obey his
example of sanctification; he became the source of eternal
salvation, 10 being (once disciplined to
perfection) designated by Yahuah as a high priest according
to the Order of Aaron through Zadok (“Melchi”
mean “High” and “Zedek” is “Zadok” referring to the House of Zadok
the ONLY line of Aaron to be called as High Priests by Yahuah.
Yahusha was given the title “Melchizedek” the name/title above all
as he was of The House of Zadok through his mother Miriam. See my
book Melchizedek and the Passover Lamb for more on this).
Hebrews 7:27
Unlike the other high priests (who died),
he does not need to offer sacrifices first for his own sin and the
sin of the people day after day. He sacrificed for their (and
his own Hebrews 5:12-4) sins once for all when he offered
himself (as a sin offering on Passover).
So, by the Grace of Yahuah,
Yahusha might taste death for the sin of everyone (all
have sinned no exception not even Yahusha! - Romans 3:23) as a
sin offering (Romans 8:3). 10
Yahuah made the pioneer of their salvation (those
whom Yahusha died, the descendants of Abraham ONLY -- Hebrews 2:16,
Matthew 15:24, Jeremiah 31) perfect through sufferings
discipline for disobedience (Hebrews 5:8-9,
Hebrews 12:7), in doing so bring many children to glory (by
setting the example of sanctification that we all must follow in his
footsteps – John 17:19, 1 John 2:6, John
13:15). This was the Will of Yahuah, through Whom, Yahuah, all
things exist, and they were created for Yahusha the firstborn and
heir to Yahuah’s Household.
---------------------- COMMENTARY & CONTEXT
----------------------
Yahusha is the first born son of Yahuah.
As such, he was disciplined for disobedience to perfection as are
all Yahuah’s children during this life on Earth. Yahusha was
perfected through suffering discipline (Hebrews 12:7). If he was not
disciplined for disobedience unto perfection, then he WAS NOT
YAHUAH’S SON (Hebrews 12:8)! Like all of us, Yahusha was TRAINED for
his position as High Priest and King by a life on Earth:
Hebrews 12 – Our Training through Discipline by a
Loving Father
4 In your struggle against sin, you have not
yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And you have
forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do
not take lightly the discipline of Yahuah your Father, and do not
lose heart when He rebukes you. 6 For Yahuah disciplines the one He
loves, and He chastises every son He receives.” 7 Endure
suffering as discipline; Yahuah is treating you as sons. For
what son is not disciplined by his father? 8 If you do not
experience discipline like everyone else, then you are illegitimate
children and not true sons. 9 Furthermore, we have all had
earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Should we
not much more submit to the Father of our spirits and live (Yahusha
was heard by Yahuah because of his submission to Yahuah’s discipline
Hebrews 5:7)? 10 Our fathers disciplined us for a short time
as they thought best, but Yahuah disciplines us for our good, so
that we may share in His holiness. 11No discipline seems enjoyable
at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of
righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it.
11 For the (Echad) One Who sanctifies
(Yahuah) and those who are sanctified (Yahusha
and all his brothers and sisters – John 17:19-21) all have one (Echad)
Father. They are all one Family (Chad),
therefore Yahusha is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,
12 saying,
“I will
proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters, in the midst of the
congregation I will praise you.” 13 And again, “I will
put my trust in him.” And again, “Here am I and the children whom
Yahuah has given me.”
---------------------- COMMENTARY & CONTEXT
----------------------
Yet
another false teaching going around today is when Yahusha said he is
“One” with the Father it means Yahuah IS Yahusha or “One being”!
John 10
30 I and
my Father are one.
The
question is, did he mean “echad” or “chad” in Hebrew?
In the NT, when Yahusha said "I and the father are one" It is
written in Greek, and we do not know from John 10:30 alone what he
said in Hebrew (he spoke Hebrew not Greek). Did he say ‘echad or ‘chad’?
Echad means “one and only” as in one in number. Chad
is h2297 and means “unified one” as in One Family unit.
h2297. Chad
אחה (1. Unified one. 510 proposes
belong together, 256 N suggests connection with
µayy, family, clan).
Scripture defines
Scripture, we simply look at the context to know what he said in
Hebrew. Yahusha defined what he meant later in that same book, the
Gospel of John, as chad not echad.
Yahuah
alone is echad, Yahuah and His Children, including Yahusha,
are yachad or chad meaning one unified family unit.
We are ONE
through Covenant in Mind, Will, purpose, Spirit, and Family...
He is our Father; we are His Children and Yahusha is our Brother.
We are all YACHAD/CHAD or unified with Yahuah our Father in
Spirit/family.
John 17:19-21
"And for
their sakes I sanctify myself (as a son in covenant with Yahuah), that they also might be sanctified through the truth (that by entering into a marriage
covenant with me, they will become children of Yahuah by law, John
1:12). Neither
pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me
through their word (confess that Yahusha is our Messiah,
our mediating High Priest, our elder brother in resurrection order,
our bridegroom through marriage); That they all may be one (family as children of Yahuah); as Thou, Father, are in (an adoption covenant with) me (through
resurrection to become my Father), and I
in (covenant with) you (to become Your firstborn from the dead, SON), that they also may be one (Family) in (covenant
with) us: that the world may believe that
You hast sent me (in
fulfillment of The Heavenly Scroll, where Yahusha was given glory as
coming King with Yahuah in the beginning)."
14
Therefore, since the rest of the children share flesh and blood (physical
body comes first, THEN the Spiritual body through resurrection -- 1
Corinthians 15:46), Yahusha himself shared the same things (he
was born fully human THEN raised Divine by the power of the resurrection
Romans 1:1-4). He was made fully human in every way (verse
17) so that through his death (he was
MORTAL MAN) he might destroy the one who has the power of death,
that is, the devil. 15 Through resurrection Yahuah frees
those who all their lives were held in slavery by the fear of the death
decrees in The Law.
---------------------- COMMENTARY & CONTEXT
----------------------
Yahusha
was the forerunner of eternal life and showed us the way by being
born-again with living water, filled with the Spirit/born again,
then lived an obedient life as High Priest. Because of his
obedience, his cries were heard by the Father Who declared Yahusha
His son by raising him eternal from the dead. The resurrection
honored Yahuah’s earnest guarantee given when Yahusha was filled
“according to the Spirit of Holiness” at his mikveh --- Ephesians
1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 1:22.
Romans 1
2
concerning Yahusha, which Yahuah Promised beforehand (at Creation written in The Heavenly Scroll) through His Prophets in the Holy
Scriptures (who read
the stars and interpreted their meaning), 3 concerning His son, who was born of a descendant of David (through both parents) according to the flesh (through human conception only, outside
of any Divine influence, opposed to Yahuah and prone to sin g4561
‘sarki’ -), 4 who
was declared (Divine) the (first born) son of
Yahuah with power by the resurrection from the dead (NOT his human birth), according to the Spirit of Holiness
(Yahuah’s
Spiritual Seed imparted upon Mikveh when Yahusha was born-again
Matthew 3:16), Yahusha the Messiah.
Ephesians 1:13-14
13 And in covenant with Yahusha, having
heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your
salvation—you were sealed with the promised Spirit of Holiness, 14
who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those
who are Yahuah’s possession, to the praise of His glory.
2 Corinthians 1:22
21 Now it is Yahuah who establishes
both us and you in covenant with Yahusha. He anointed us, 22 placed
His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what
is to come.
16 Yahusha did not come to help angels, but the descendants of
Abraham (only. The House of Israel and The
House of Jacob – Matthew 15:24, Jeremiah 31:31). 17
Therefore Yahusha had to be created just like his brothers and sisters,
fully human in every way and in every respect, so that he might
be a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of Yahuah, to make
a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people (and
for himself). 18 Because he himself was tested by
the discipline he suffered; he is able to help those children of
Yahuah who are being tested by suffering discipline.
---------------------- COMMENTARY & CONTEXT
----------------------
All High Priest are chosen from among men, they cannot be demi-gods
and mediate for humanity, Yahusha as our High Priest MUST be one of
us “in every way” to represent us before Yahuah –
Hebrews 5:1
For every high
priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in
relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
