Excerpt from The Yahushaic Covenant volume iii Melchizedek and the Passover Lamb Rav Sha'ul $9.99 on Kindle - $15.00 on paperback   Paul knew Yahusha was descended by blood from the Priestly Order of Zadok to be The High Righteous Priest "Melchizedek" by Rav Sha'ul   What else did Paul know (besides the truth of Yahusha’s Mikveh) being a Pharisee, master in The Torah, Nazarene and teacher of The Law and Prophets? He knew the plan of YHVH was to send a Zadok High Priest to offer the final Sacrifice of the Passover Lamb and to govern as the “Eternal Ruling Zadok”! Paul understood what happened when John laid hands on Yahusha and Mikveh'd him consecrating Yahusha as High Priest, transferring all authority to him, and transferring all sins of the world onto The Passover Lamb. Paul also understood the blood of the Passover Lamb would cover the DECREES against us found in the Law leading to Grace and making “whole the Law”. Paul’s teaching have been grossly mistranslated and mis-taught by the pagan Roman religion. Having abolished the Law, they have no idea what Paul is talking about in his letters. Now, let us explore Paul's writings that confirm that he knew exactly what had transpired when John Mikveh'd Yahusha.   The Perfect High Priest Melchizedek Paul knew that Yahusha was the chosen Ruling Zadok. Paul knew Yahusha was perfected by YHVH, forgiven by YHVH, and consecrated as High Priest through Mikveh. Paul knew Yahusha was heard by YHVH because of his piety not because Yahusha was a god/man. It is for that reason (his piety) that Yahusha became the source (Passover Lamb) of salvation (for shouldering the sins of the world.) Paul also, as do I, found this hard to explain because everyone has become dull of hearing having come to believe “tradition” and Babylonian legend that Yahusha was “YHVH in the flesh”. Below we see Paul teaching this very truth clearly: Hebrews 5 The Perfect High Priest 1 For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins; 2 he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is beset with weakness; 3 and because of it 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, but receives it when he is called by God, even as Aaron was. 5 So also Yahusha did not glorify himself so as to become a high priest, but (it was) YHVH who (in addition to being High Priest) said to Yahusha "YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU"; 6 just as YHVH says also in another passage (choosing Yahusha among men as High Priest from the House of Zadok), "YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK." 7 In the days of Yahusha’s flesh (when he was human), Yahusha offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One (YHVH) able to save Yahusha from death, and Yahusha was heard (by YHVH) because of his piety. 8 Although Yahusha was a son, Yahusha had to learn obedience (to the YHVH) from the things which Yahusha suffered. 9 And having been made perfect (Yahusha was not born perfect being simply a man), Yahusha became (he was not always, he BECAME after his submission and death on Passover) to all those who obey him the source of eternal salvation (the sin offering), 10 being designated by YHVH as a high priest (chosen from among men verse 1) according to the order of Melchizedek (he was by inheritance or lineage a King of the House of David and High Priest of the House of Zadok i.e. Ruling Zadok). 11 Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.   Paul knew Transferring The Priesthood and The Law over to Melchizedek had occurred in the desert with John at Yahusha's Mikveh We see below Paul understood exactly what happened when John Mikveh'd Yahusha. Paul tells us clearly that the priestly office was transferred to Melchizedek. Paul also explains that The Law was transferred over to serve the new Eternal High Priest as well as The Law was transposed to spirit (written on our hearts) as YHVH declared it would be. “The New Covenant” is defined by The Law being elevated not abolished. Jeremiah 31:31-35 31 “The days are coming,” declares YHVH, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. 32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt (written in stone), because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them,” declares YHVH. 33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel (yes the people of Israel… the House of Israel and The House of Judah not the pagan Romans) after that time,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts” Knowing the Law was not abolished but “transposed” to spiritual intent of the heart, Paul says: Hebrews 7:12 "for when there is a transfer of the priestly office (to Melchizedek), out of necessity there is ALSO A TRANSFER OF THE LAW of the priesthood (by which the Priesthood has authority)"   Paul knew it was not The Law nailed to the cross, but only the decrees within it! Below is just a very cursory introduction to The Kingdom of YHVH my next book. The Kingdom of YHVH was revealed to mankind through transposition (transfer of position) from oral to written to spiritual. This truth was not lost on the Apostle Paul. Being a Torah expert, Paul knew The Law contained 3 elements communicated from Adam through Moses verbally. The Law was then written down at the time of Moses “in stone”. We see below that Paul was well aware that The Law in all aspects was not just given to Moses, but also Abraham verbally, and Jacob verbally, and The Law was a vital part of every covenant YHVH made with mankind (Edenic, Adamic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, and Yahushaic): Deut. 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." Gen 26:5 - KJV 5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws . Ps 147:19-148:1 - KJV 19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes (commands and laws) and his judgments (decrees) unto Israel. 20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise YHVH. Paul was well aware of the following 3 elements that together are called The Law: · His Commandments (10 Commandments) · His Laws (Dietary, Priestly, Sacrificial, Ritual Purity, Sacrificial, Judicial, Moral, Agricultural, Business, Sabbatical, Community, Prohibition, Tithes/Offerings, etc.) · His Decrees (Judicial Judgments amounting to a Certificate of Debt against us for our disobedience to His Commandments and His Laws) Now that we understand that the "decrees" are only a part of The Law. The part where judgment is pronounced by YHVH for our disobedience to His Commandments and Laws, it becomes obvious what Paul said was nailed to the cross... THE DECREES AGAINST US: Col 2:14-16 "Having canceled out the certificate of debt (levied against humanity) consisting of decrees (penalties for transgressing His Commands and His Laws) against us and which (these decrees which amounted to a certificate of debt) was hostile to us (because we did not keep His Commandments); and YHWH has taken it (the certificate of debt which are the decrees only not The Law) out of the way (sacrificing His Passover Lamb to cover us), having nailed it (the “certificate of debt” which are the decress only not the entire Law) to the cross. So Paul clearly said only the decrees levied against us that are hostile to us is what YHVH has taken out of the way, nailing them to the cross with Yahusha. Yahusha's blood covered the decrees pronounced against us for our sin against YHVH and our disobedience to The Torah. In this way, the sin of the world died with Yahusha the Passover Lamb. Paul calls this covering of the decrees in The Law "grace". Again, I cover this topic in much greater detail in my upcoming book “The Yahushaic Covenant” as Yahusha did not come to abolish The Law but bring it to perfection covering the decrees against us. This book, however, establishes Yahusha’s authority to do just that. Paul is clearly defining the difference between The Law of Sin and Death and The Law of Spirit of Life … that difference is the decrees in The Law are covered by the blood of the lamb. Next: The Law of Sin and Death vs. The Law of the Spirit of Life
