Excerpt from The Kingdom Rav Sha'ul   Introduction by Rav Sha'ul   In our study of the textbook of The Kingdom of YHVH, The Bible, we must know how to approach it.  We have all been taught very damaging lies that cripple us from being able to study this text book effectively. Lie #1 – there are two “testaments” Lie #2 – one of the testaments is “old” and no longer relevant Lie #3 – the church replaced “Israel” Lie #4 – fulfillment means “abolishment” Lie #5 – the physical shadows and rehearsals have passed away Lie #6 – all 6 covenants, prior to the 7th “New Covenant”, are no longer valid The above list is just a short list.  The list of lies told by the false religion of Christianity is much larger.  In fact, there is no truth in the religion of Christianity it is a lie.  There are not “two testaments” but rather one revelation of YHVH to mankind from Genesis to Revelation.  That revelation came in the form of covenants between YHVH and man.  Seven covenants to be exact.  Each covenant building on the ones that came before it culminating in The 7th Yahushaic Covenant.  The 7th Covenant is the renewing and final transposition from the physical realm to the spiritual realm of all previous 6.  The 7th Covenant “fulfilled” all previous 6 meaning it brought them to their “fullest meaning, intent, and measure spiritually”.  In no known universe does fulfill mean to destroy or abolish! Each covenant must be studied from the standpoint of physical to spiritual parallels in order to “understand” spiritual truths found in The Kingdom of YHVH.  All 7 Covenants are still in effect.  Each covenant is in most cases an “addition” to the previous covenants as YHVH progressively builds His kingdom over time.  In isolation outside of the previous 6 covenants, Yahusha would have no authority to rule nor would he have the authority to serve as High Priest as authority is given and defined in previous covenants.   We must approach YHVH’s revelation to man, The Bible, from the understanding that EVERY WORD that proceeds out of His Mouth is alive, active, and sharper than a two-edged sword.  The “New Testament” is the documented life of The Messiah (the Gospels/Revelation) and the rest of the books in the NT are inspired commentary on how The Messiah fulfilled (brought to the fullest meaning) the previous 6 covenants.   What is the true Word of YHVH? We must be careful what we call The Word of YHVH.  The actual “Word of YHVH” is limited to: ·       The Torah (first 5 books of the so-called Old Testament) which YHVH literally wrote down for Moses.  ·       The Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, etc.) who spoke for YHVH ·       The Words of the Messiah found in the Gospels and in Revelation (who was the greatest Prophet of all). We have elevated the commentary of the New Testament writers to the level of “Words of YHVH” when they are no such thing.  These men were not prophets and never claimed to be.  Many times they disagreed among themselves.   The writers in the New Testament were eye-witnesses to the life of The Messiah and in Paul’s case a trained professional in The Torah (a LAWyer) qualified to teach the physical to spiritual parallels in scripture which is The Torah and Prophets.  So while being inspired writers, witnesses, and teachers… they never claimed to speak as prophets of YHVH and therefore their words are not His.  They did not close their teachings with “thus saith YHVH”.  I’m not saying they do not have tremendous value to us today because they absolutely do.  We should study these writings and many more left out of The Bible by the Catholic Church.  We, however, have to be extremely cautious with our English translations because they have been altared, doctored up, words added and subtracted, and generally grossly mishandled over the years.  What I am saying is that at any time if their writings (or rather our understanding of their writings) contradict The Torah, The Prophets, and The Messiah then either the way we understand their writings are wrong or they must be declared… false teachers. Let’s define a few terms we will need in order to read this book. Next: Covenant theology
