Excerpt from The Yahushaic Covenant Volume 1 by Rav Sha'ul The Testimony of Yahuah that Yahusha is the Messiah by Rav Sha'ul   What does the term “testimony of Yahusha” mean?  It must be important because WE must have it too… Revelation 12:17 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of Yahuah, and have the testimony of Yahusha the Messiah. It is that we believe in the witnesses that Yahuah gave that prove Yahusha is the Messiah and that we too “have the same testimony”.  Those witnesses of Yahuah that Yahusha is the son of Yahuah is defined below as water, blood, and spirit…  They are “the testimony of Yahusha the Messiah” but what do they mean? 1 John 5:1-20 1  Everyone who believes that Yahusha is the Messiah is begotten of Yahuah, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2 This is how we know that we love the children of Yahuah: by loving Yahuah and keeping His Law. 3 In fact, this is love for Yahuah: to keep His Law. And that His Laws are not burdensome, 4 for everyone begotten of Yahuah overcomes the world. This is the conquering Spirit that has overcome the world, even our faith (in the promises of Yahuah). 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Yahusha is the son of Yahuah. (but how do we know for sure that Yahusha is the Son of Yahuah?) 6 This (Yahusha) is the one who came by water and blood—Yahusha the Messiah. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are three that testify (the testimony that Yahusha is The son of Yahuah): 8 the Spirit of Holiness, the water and the blood; and these three are in agreement (that Yahusha is The Son of Yahuah). 9 We accept human testimony (that Jesus is God incarnate), but Yahuah’s testimony is greater (and overcomes traditions of men) because it is the testimony of Yahuah, which he has given about his Son Yahusha. 10 Whoever believes in the Son of Yahuah accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe Yahuah (that Yahuah is not a man nor the son of man) has made him out to be a liar (saying Yahuah came to Earth as a man named Jesus), because they have not believed the testimony Yahuah has given about his Son. 11 And this is the testimony: Yahuah has given us eternal life, and this life is (found) in (covenant with) his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son (in covenant) has (eternal) life; whoever does not have (the covenant of) the Son of Yahuah does not have (eternal) life. 13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of (The Yahushaic Covenant) the Son of Yahuah so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 This is the confidence we have in approaching Yahuah: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him… 18 We know that anyone begotten of Yahuah does not continue to break The Law of Yahuah (believing in the lawless one Jesus Christ); the One (Yahusha) who was born of Yahuah keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them. 19 We know that we are children of Yahuah, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one (Jesus Christ the lawless one). 20 We know also that the Son of Yahuah has come and has given us understanding (of The Law as Moses prophesied he would), so that we may know Yahuah who is true. And we are in (covenant with) Yahuah who is true by being in (The Yahushaic Covenant of) his Son Yahusha the Messiah. Yahuah is the true God (The Shema) and (giver of) eternal life. What do water, blood, and spirit mean?  What is that testimony Yahuah gave that identifies Yahusha uniquely as the His Son?  That testimony is that Yahusha the Messiah was born human, with the bloodline to be King and High Priest, and begotten by the Spirit of Holiness.  Born, Bloodine, Begotten = water, blood, spirit! I realize most people think “water” is baptism.  It is not baptism it is that we believe that Yahusha was a man.  Below the Apostle Paul defines the testimony Yahuah gave to us that proves that Yahusha is The Messiah.  Romans 1 1 Paul, a bondservant of Yahusha the Messiah, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of Yahuah (to proclaim The Kingdom of Yahuah through Yahusha the Messiah) 2 which Yahuah promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures (the Holy Scriptures are The Torah and Prophets), 3 concerning His Son Messiah Yahusha our King, who was born of the bloodline of David and born according to the flesh (water), 4 and begotten (declared) to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness (Spirit), by the resurrection from the dead. 5 Through The Yahushaic Covenant we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for Yahuah’s name, 6 among whom you also are the called of to be in covenant through Yahusha the Messiah; Paul is saying that Yahusha’s claim to Messiah is founded first and foremost on the Prophets in the Holy Scriptures that foretold of the coming human Messiah.  They foretold of a human Messiah who would be a “Priest/King” known as Melchezidek which means “Royal Priest”.  Paul goes on to prove Yahusha is that prophesied Messiah Melchezidek because he was born according the flesh i.e. water, born into the bloodline of the seed of David i.e. blood, and begotten through resurrection i.e. Spirit. Water Yahusha was born human as prophesied through the womb of a woman and fulfilled “the sign” that was given for all highly anointed men that played a key role in The Plan of Salvation; a miraculous birth.  All humans come into this world “through water” in their mother’s womb but Yahusha had to fulfill the sign of a “virgin birth” as foretold by Yahuah’s Prophets.  So by water is the testimony that Yahusha was a HUMAN Messiah and a highly anointed man by the sign of a miraculous birth.  I will explain further concerning The Virgin Birth next in this Chapter. Blood Yahusha was the descendant and heir to the Throne of David by blood through Joseph’s bloodline.  Yahusha was heir to the office of High Priest being the great grandson (through Mary’s maternal line) of the High Priest over the rebuilding of the Second Temple Yahusha III.  So by blood Yahusha fulfilled the requirements that the Messiah would restore the priesthood and the throne of David.  I wrote an entire book on that testimony please read Melchizedek and The Passover Lamb. In the book above I demonstrate that Yahusha was the unique fulfillment of the Messiah who was prophesied to be the King of Israel and the High Priest of Israel.  I will include parts of that book here in this section to explain the bloodline witness of Yahusha. Spirit Yahusha was then begotten as the son of Yahuah not through human birth but by the Spirit of Holiness through resurrection as the first born Son of Yahuah. The reason this is important is because most people don’t understand that this is the proof that Yahusha is the Messiah.  It is Yahuah’s witness of him.  Most people are totally ignorant of who the Messiah really was and why.  They believe he is the Messiah because of the miracles he performed because they say that is proof he was God.  Those signs were given to a wicked and adulterous generation who required a “sign”.  Those are not the true witnesses that he was the Messiah and son of Yahuah.  Below I will explain each witness in greater detail.   Next: Witness of Water - The Virgin Birth (the Truth)
