Introduction
Romans 8:28
28 And we know that all things
work together for good to them that love Yahuah, to them who are called according
to Yahuah’s purpose.
Before we continue in
defining the Kingdom of Yahuah, an understanding of Yahuah’s
purpose
is necessary. It is Yahuah’s purpose to “procreate” Himself and beget a “family
of gods”. It is with this purpose in mind that Yahuah created the Universe and
destined it to be governed by His kingdom in righteousness according to His Law.
Only with a clear picture of this purpose in mind can we fully understand
the
Kingdom of Yahuah.
You see,
the Kingdom of
Yahuah is just that… A kingdom! It is an organized government that has
a specific purpose…
The purpose of His
kingdom is to govern Yahuah’s creation in His Righteousness for all eternity.
Yahuah has literally
purposed
to “train” His future sons through a life on Earth to serve (as literal sons of
Yahuah or gods) in that kingdom that is destined to rule His Creation…
Psalm
82
6 I have said,
you are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High.
Yahuah’s purpose for His
future sons is to train each and every son through this physical life for the
ultimate goal of being conformed to the image of the first of those sons… Yahusha
the Messiah:
Romans 8:28-30
28 And we know that all things
work together for good to them that love Yahuah, to them who are called according
to Yahuah’s purpose. 29 For whom Yahuah did
foreknow, Yahuah also predestined to be conformed to the image
of Yahuah’s (first born) Son (Yahusha), that Yahusha might be the
firstborn among many brothers (in the Family of Yahuah).
Yes, Yahusha is our brother
not our “Elohim”. There is but one Elohim,
that is Yahuah and He is our Father. Yahusha is the firstborn of MANY more sons
of Yahuah to come. The only difference between Yahusha and the rest of the sons
of Yahuah is birth right and authority. There is no “trinity”;
there is Yahuah and the rest of His Eternally Powerful Sons! So Yahuah has a
purpose; that purpose is building a “family of gods”, organizing them into a
Spiritual Kingdom that will govern His Creation for eternity in His
Righteousness.
The religious systems of this
world, the largest which is the Mystery Religion of Babylon we call
today “Christianity”, has humanity in complete ignorance of the very purpose
of our life on Earth! We sit in our churches in total ignorance of who we
“could be” worshipping Hesus Horus Krishna (Jesus H. Christ) as God calling on
Ba’al (the LORD) on the day of the sun (Sunday)! While we should be trained by
these “churches” as Lawyers in His Law so that we can serve as
Righteous Priests, Kings, and Judges in that Kingdom… we are taught to deny His
Law and be disobedient to everything that is Yahuah’s Kingdom. When Yahusha
declares in Revelation “come out of her, Mystery Babylon” he means it. When he
says if you stay in it you are “lukewarm” and he will spit you out of his
mouth… he means it. There is no salvation in the Sunday/Trinity/Jesus/Christmas/Easter
religion of Babylon. It is idolatry.
We are on this Earth to be
trained by this life to serve in the coming Kingdom of Yahuah as “gods” in Yahuah’s
image. We are to be born in the image of Yahuah, the Father, after the example
set by the first born in that family, Yahusha. We are
predestined
to be conformed to the image of Yahusha, who is the firstborn son of many sons
to come through regeneration or the “transposition of our bodies” from this
physical realm to the realm of the Spirit which we call today
resurrection.
This life is literally a
“predestined” obstacle course or training ground designed so that all things
(good and evil) work in harmony for YOUR training to serve Yahuah in His
Kingdom under the High Priest and King of Kings Yahusha. We are to serve in the
order of Melchizedek as “Zadok Priests” and we are to serve as Kings
under the authority of the King of Kings.
Daniel
7
13 “I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, with
the clouds of heaven One (Yahusha) like a
Son of Man was coming, and he (Yahusha)
came up to the Ancient of Days (Yahuah, they are not
the same being) and was presented before Him. 14 “And to him (Yahusha) was given (by Yahuah
as an inheritance) dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples,
nations and men of every language might serve him (not worship Yahusha, we serve Yahusha in the Kingdom).
His (Yahusha’s) dominion is an everlasting
dominion which will not pass away; And Yahuah’s kingdom is one which will not
be destroyed.
Simply put… we were created
to RULE this creation. But first, we must be properly trained in His Kingdom. That
is “why” you are here. “Why” you exist. If you fail in this training you will
cease
to exist and not participate in that Kingdom. If you persist in sitting
in your Sunday worshipping, trinity believing, Law abolishing, religious
Babylonian Lie you will fail in your purpose in this life. This life will be
your reward and you will never serve in a Kingdom you
were not trained
for.
Below I am going to paint a
“picture” and summarize very simply the “purpose” of Yahuah:
Yahuah created the Universe as an inheritance for His sons. His
sons are being introduced to this creation and trained to serve in Yahuah’s
government/Kingdom through a life on Earth. 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. 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 sons are
organized into a literal Kingdom or government and further trained to govern
and rule during a 1,000 year span on 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. 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.
Next, I am going to expand on
the summary I gave and demonstrate through scripture the reality of it. We will
see on the following pages, that Yahuah created “all things” or the
Universe to be given as an inheritance to His sons.
The inheritance goes to the
first born son Yahusha. Then through Yahusha, as sons ourselves and brothers to
Yahusha (he is NOT our Elohim), we are co-heirs to the Universe:
Romans
8:16-17
"The
Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of Yahuah,
and if children, then heirs -- heirs of Yahuah and joint heirs with the
Messiah, if indeed we suffer with him (Yahusha),
that we may also be glorified together."
We all know that Yahusha
(post resurrection) after completing his training on Earth was seated at
Yahuah’s right hand and given all authority over Yahuah’s creation as an
inheritance. We, the rest of the sons of Yahuah, are co-heirs with our first
born brother; but only those who, like Yahusha, complete their training on
earth.
This Universe, our
inheritance, is currently being held captive to sin and death… waiting in eager
expectation for us, the sons of Yahuah, to be introduced to His Creation. At which
time, when we are introduced (resurrected like Yahusha), we will
liberate this creation and free it from bondage and govern it righteously for
eternity.
Romans
8:19
“Creation
eagerly awaits the revelation of the sons of Yahuah” … vs. 21 “when creation
will be set free from bondage and come into the glorious freedom of the sons of
Yahuah”
What Sha’ul is stating is
very true. “Come into the glorious freedom of the sons of Yahuah” is just
another way of saying that creation will be liberated and governed by the sons
of Yahuah who are organized into a Kingdom.
We are introduced to His
creation through a life on Earth but our ultimate revelation occurs when those
chosen few sons are resurrected.
During our life on Earth… we
are trained for service in the Kingdom of Yahuah by teachers and
mentors (training aids organized into covenants that serve as physical
teachers/examples/rehearsals of spiritual truths). This training process we are
put through on earth comes in the form of predestined “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 and applying physical to spiritual
parallels 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).
The Kingdom of Yahuah or Kingdom of Heaven or “Heaven” is a divine
government made up of the family of Yahuah. Within this family government, we
are trained as priests and kings during the Millennial Reign.
Revelation
5:10
10 And hast
made us unto our Elohim kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
That initial reign on Earth
is for a 1,000 years. During this time, the sons of Yahuah are trained and
organized into a kingdom or Divine Government of priests and kings and trained
to rule.
2
Timothy 2:12
12 If we
suffer, we shall also reign with Yahusha.
Revelation
20:6
6 Blessed and
holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death
hath no power, but they shall be priests of Yahuah and of the Messiah, and
shall reign (be kings) with him a thousand
years.
During these 1,000 years, we
are trained in the Torah, which is the constitution of the
divine government being assembled. We see below that clearly, in the coming
kingdom, the Torah is the standard of government.
We also see that the Messiah Yahusha
is the ultimate teacher of the Torah:+
Isaiah
2:2-4
2 And it shall
come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of Yahuah’s house shall be
established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills;
and all nations shall flow unto it. 3 And many people shall go and say, Come
ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahuah, to the house of the Elohim of
Jacob; and Yahusha will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths:
for out of Zion shall go forth the Torah and the word of Yahuah from Jerusalem.
4 And Yahusha shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people:
The government that is being
established, is founded on the Messiah Yahusha. That government will have no
end (it is eternal) and will expand without end until all of creation,
the
Universe, is properly governed by this divine government made up of the
sons of Yahuah. We learn that this child will be the first resurrected eternal
and, as such, be the “father of everlasting life” just as Abraham is called
“the father of faith”. Being the first human perfected in this life, Yahusha
will be resurrected and become the perfect image of Yahuah i.e. His literal son.
As High Priest, Yahusha will be a wonderful counselor; and as King he will
bring peace to the sons of Yahuah and Yahuah’s creation.
Isaiah 9:6-7
"For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given, and the government shall be on his
shoulders and he will be called Wonderful Counselor, (the perfect image of) Mighty Elohim, (fore) Father of Everlasting (life), and Prince of Peace.”
There will be
no end to the increase of His government or of peace, on the Throne of
David and over His Kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and
righteousness from then on and forevermore.
So there is no end to the
increase of this government and it is eternal. First, the kingdoms on Earth are
turned over to the Messiah:
Revelation 11:15
15 And the seventh angel sounded;
and there were great voices in heaven, saying, the kingdoms of this world are
become the kingdoms of Yahuah and of His Messiah; and Yahusha shall reign
forever and ever.
After we are trained to
govern within the divine government called the Kingdom of Yahuah…
we rule for eternity over all of creation… there is no “need for the light of
the sun” because this government will transcend this solar system and encompass
this entire Universe.
Revelation
22:5
5 And there
shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for
Yahuah gives them light: and they shall reign forever and ever.
With all that being laid out
in scripture let me again state the summarized “Purpose of Yahuah” for simplicity:
Yahuah
created the Universe as an inheritance for His sons. His sons are being
introduced to this creation and trained to serve in Yahuah’s government through
a life on Earth. 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 obtain
eternal life. 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. These sons are organized into a literal Kingdom or government and
further trained to govern and rule during a 1,000-year span on Earth. The first
born son, Yahusha, reigns as King of Kings and High Priest. He teaches the
other sons to properly judge and govern by the Torah (the constitution of this
government) over the 1,000 year Sabbath Millennium. After the 1,000-year
training period is over, this government or Kingdom grows exponentially until
it effectively governs the entire Universe. This “Kingdom” or “Government”
which reigns eternally over creation is… “Heaven” also called the Kingdom of Yahuah
and Kingdom of Heaven. This Kingdom is our destiny; this Universe is our
inheritance.
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 text book.
In order to establish His
Kingdom, Yahuah had to first create a “need” 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 (good vs. evil); then Yahuah could
introduce His sons to His creation through a life on Earth where they
experience the fallen nature of creation first hand 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
learning, first hand, that His 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.
Below is Romans 8:18-30:
Romans 8 - Present
Suffering and Future Glory
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, groan inwardly as we wait
eagerly for our adoption to son ship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. 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 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.
Many of us “think” we know
what Sha’ul just said, but do we “really”? I put (my comments
in parenthesis) for clarification in context of the
Word of Yahuah and all of Sha’ul’s writings to help us understand what
exactly Sha’ul is saying here:
Romans 8
19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the
children of Yahuah to be revealed (because it is the
sons of Yahuah that will govern it in righteousness). 20 For the creation was subjected to futility (when Adam fell), not willingly, but because of Yahuah
who subjected it (the fall of creation was part of Yahuah’s
plan) in hope (of liberating it through His
future sons); 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered
(Sha’ul uses future tense speaking of creation being
delivered. He is speaking of the future fulfillment of the Fall Feasts that are
a rehearsal of the Second Coming when Yahusha atones for and delivers creation
on the Day of Atonement. Sha’ul says “also” referring to the fact that the sons
of Yahuah were delivered by Yahusha in the past fulfillment of the
Spring Feasts on Passover) from the bondage of corruption into the
glorious liberty of the children of Yahuah. (Sha’ul
understands the “purpose” in all of this is that creation is turned over
to be governed by the children of Yahuah) 22
For we know that the whole creation groans and labors (Sha’ul
is confirming here the Sabbath Covenant that for 6,000 years creation labors
from the effects of sin per the Sabbath Covenant) with birth pangs
together until now (the 7th Millennium, the Sabbath
is yet to come Hebrews Chapter 4). 23
Not only that, but we also who have the First fruits (Sha’ul is confirming the Feasts of Yahuah here… the Passover
Lamb/Feast of First Fruits/Spring Feasts) of the Spirit (Given on the Feast of Weeks or Shav’uot), even we
ourselves groan within ourselves (along with creation
because we have not yet been resurrected either), eagerly waiting for
the adoption (into the Family of Yahuah through
resurrection), the redemption of our body (the
resurrection on the Feast of Trumpets as Sha’ul
teaches the Fall Feasts). 24 For we were saved (Sha’ul stresses the past tense here because we were saved
during the Spring Feasts by the Passover Lamb) in this hope (that Yahusha will return again and fulfill the Fall Feasts,
resurrecting our bodies so that WE can then liberate creation), but hope
that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees (Sha’ul is stressing that we must still have hope for what we
have not yet witnessed in the fulfillment of the Fall Feasts, so hope endures)?
25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it
(the Fall Feasts) with perseverance (Sha’ul is encouraging us to endure in hope of the future
fulfillment of the Fall Feasts because those
who persevere until the end shall be saved).
Sha’ul then goes on to
clearly define Yahuah’s purpose in creating his sons:
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.
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.
Below are 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).
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 (Yahusha declares the Shema or “Seal” of the
Kingdom of Yahuah) 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 (the blood of Yahusha
covers the decrees in the Law overcoming the Law of Sin and Death. With
the decrees in the Law covered; the Law then becomes the Law of the Spirit
of Life)— 15
and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death
(Yahusha freed us from the Law of Sin and Death by
covering the decrees in the Law that demand our 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. Let me explain.
Sha’ul is explaining above
that Yahuah’s purpose was to purchase the salvation of His entire family by
making the first born son in that family a “perfect High Priest” who would make
the final sacrifice of the Passover Lamb to cover our
transgression of His Law. Sha’ul is teaching the reality that Yahusha’s blood
covers the decrees within the Law that demand our death. It is
that fear of death, because of the active decrees, that held us captive. Below Sha’ul
expounds on this truth:
Colossians 2:14
"Having
canceled out the certificate
of debt (levied against humanity) consisting of (death)
decrees (penalties in the Law for transgressing His
Commands and His Ordinances) against us and which (these death decrees
which amounted to a Death Certificate against us keeping us in bondage to the
fear of death) was hostile to us (because we
did not keep His Commandments); and Yahusha has taken it (the Death
Certificate i.e. the decrees in the Law not the entire Law)
out of the way (making the final sacrifice of the Passover Lamb whose blood
covers our transgression), having nailed it (the Death
Certificate which are ... THE DECREES AGAINST US in the Law for falling
short of His Commandments and His Ordinances... NOT the entire Law)
to the stake.
You see, Yahuah nailed
what Sha’ul calls the Certificate of Debt which were His Decrees against us
found in the "terms and conditions" of the Mosaic Covenant to the
stake and said "PAID IN FULL"
by the Blood of the Passover Lamb, Yahusha.
Yahusha’s blood paid the debt
consisting of death decrees we owed for violating His Commands and His Laws. He didn't nail the Torah OR His Commands OR His Laws to the stake. He
nailed His Death Decrees
to the stake for those who keep Passover in light of Yahusha’s sacrifice. Decrees, commands, and laws
are not the same things...
Deuteronomy 5
30 "Go, tell them to
return to their tents. 31 But you stay here with me so
that I may give you all the
commands, decrees
and laws
you are to teach them to follow in the land I am giving them to possess."
I just wanted to clear that
up before I continue. We have to understand what was “nailed to the stake” or
we will never understand Sha’ul’s writings. It was ONLY His Decrees
that were opposed to us that were nailed to the stake for those who put
their faith in the Passover Lamb (not the Easter pig).
I’ll cover this in more
detail in my books the Yahushaic Covenant and the Law of Yahuah.
Let me do a little defining
of terms quickly as well:
the Law of Sin
and Death is the Law of Yahuah
with active death decrees. Since all have sinned everyone is held to
account for their own transgressions by His Decrees and death is the result.
the Law of the
Spirit of Life is the Law of Yahuah with the death decrees found
in the Law covered by the blood of the Passover Lamb. With the death decrees
covered, we are found in perfect obedience to the Law of Yahuah and the
promise for obedience to His Law is realized; which is life eternal.
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 whom (Messiah Yahusha) we have redemption (from the Law of Sin and Death) through his blood (Yahusha is the Passover Lamb), (we have) the forgiveness of sins (decrees in the Law for violating His Commands are covered by
the blood), according to the riches of
His (Yahuah’s) grace (it
is Yahuah who forgives sin and accepts Yahusha’s sacrifice to satisfy the
decrees that demand our death for breaking His Law, that is the definition
of Grace);
8 Wherein (covenant with Yahusha)
He (Yahuah) hath abounded toward us (unlimited Grace) in all wisdom and prudence; 9
Having made known unto us (elohim) the
mystery of His will (to beget a family),
according to His (Yahuah’s) good pleasure which
He hath purposed (predestined to create)
in (the full image of) Himself (He is the Father of the family of Yahuah called elohim, Yahuah
is the One True Living Elohim): 10 That in the dispensation
of the fullness of times (as foretold by His prophets)
He (Yahuah) might gather together (again) in one (family
through the covenant of marriage, the two shall become
one) all things in (covenant with Yahusha the)
Messiah, both which are in heaven (the Kingdom
of Yahuah), and which are on earth; even in Him(self, Yahuah will reconcile creation through the sacrifice
of His Son): 11 In whom (the first
born Son, Messiah Yahusha) also we (too)
have obtained an inheritance (as sons of
Yahuah, we inherit the Universe),
being predestinated according to
the purpose of Yahuah who worketh all things after the counsel of His
own will: 12 That we (sons of Yahuah)
should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Messiah Yahusha (and express our faith in the Passover Lamb not the
Easter Pig).
13 In whom (Yahusha) you
also trusted (was the Messiah), after that you
heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation (purchased
through the blood sacrifice of Yahusha to consummate the covenant of marriage):
in whom (Yahusha) also after that you believed,
you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise (the
Spirit of Yahuah is the “blood of the family of Yahuah” a Spiritual Parallel of
a human bloodline or family).
14 Which is the earnest (guarantee)
of our (future) inheritance (as sons of Yahuah)
until the redemption (transposition of our bodies from
the Physical Realm to the Spiritual Realm) of the purchased possession
unto 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.
