His yoke is easy His burden is light!!!

Praise The Most High for His lovingkindness that the dry bones are waking up, they who were once His people, His chosen one… Ezekiel 37. Their eyes and ears are getting open more and more each day and they are starting to see and to hear His Truth. Now His people are starting to walk the old path that their forefathers Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their ancestors walked. They are beginning to understand, the knowledge of The Most High and what this knowledge is and therefore The Most High is increasing in them… I pray that more of us shall wake up and repent and turn back, back to the beginning were everything begun. The Messiah who is our example showed us in the flesh how to walk this walk, following His footsteps….

For those who know and belief in The Living Word, understands that our Heavenly Father and The Son who are ONE have a enemy. We also have the same enemy as our Heavenly Father. He, the Devil who is Satan is not visible to us but he is visible for The Living Word and The Most High. For us humans the Devil is invisible but our Heavenly Father and His Son can see him. We have to know how we can take a stand against our enemy, Ephesians 6:10-20. We also know who He is because of the Spirit of Truth. He is the Serpent/Devil/Satan the great deceiver of men, Revelation 12:9, 1 Corinthians 10:13!!! We know that His seed is ruling the world right now!!! The wicked ones!!! Praise “Ahayah Ashar Ahayah who is “ I Am That I Am”, His Name He revealed unto Moses in Exodus 3:14, that through The Living Word we have the power to overcome him! 1 John 4:4, Romans 8:31-39, Philippians 4:13! AMEN!!!

As it is written in Job 9:24, ‘The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; where is the wicked one and who is he?

2 Thessalonians 2, Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, read the entire chapter…

We always have a choice which path we should walk and which path to follow… The choice has always been between good and evil, life and death, blessing and cursing…

Romans 11 ‘I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying, 3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. 5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. 8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: 10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always.

Psalm 119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.

Why and how did sin came into men and in the world?

Let begins with the tree that was planted. The tree of good and evil, Gen. 2:9. The question now is, did The Most High planted this tree Himself? Why I am asking this? By reading Gen. 1:11-12, 29-31, all that The Most High spoke came forth after He saw that, it was ‘good’. He did not create anything evil but everything He created was ‘good’. What ‘good’ means accordance the Strong’s concordance: Strong’s H2896: http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H2896&t=KJV. The Hebrew word for good, ‘towb’ Strong’s 2895: http://www.biblestudytools.com/lexicons/hebrew/nas/towb.html

What did the serpent asked the woman? Gen. 3:1-7, reading those verses, it seems like the serpent knew the deeper meaning and understanding of this tree, the tree of good and evil… Why did he asked the woman specific about this tree? Why did he misled her with this tree? We know there were many trees in the garden. For a deeper understanding let us read; Lev. 26, Deut. 11:26-28, Deut. 28, 30:11-20, Matt. 13:24-30. We know and understand that darkness was on the face of the deep. The first thing that The Most High said to come forth was light. When He saw that the light was good He divided the light from the darkness: Gen. 1:3-5. Understanding the work of Moses in Ex. 39:32-43, we know that the Word was the One who was creating. The Most High is the One Who is giving the order and the Word is the One who is creating what is being told. We know and understand that ‘darkness’ is not good, darkness is associated with sin, which is associated with the Devil who is Satan. He was the one in the form of the serpent in the garden, whose seed is in enmity with the seed of the woman according to Gen. 3:15.

Reading all of this, I don’t believe it was The Most High who planted the tree of good and evil. We know that the thief in John 10:10, is Satan who only comes to steel, kill and destroy. I hope you are in a better understanding why The Living World is the Good Shepherd… John 10:11-18, read also John 15:1-8

Matt. 13:24: “Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares? ’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”

Remember the battle is always between The Most High and the Devil: Isaiah 14:9-23, Ezekiel 28:12-19. We also read that darkness was on the face of the deep, Gen. 1:1-2, Footnote’s Proverbs 8:22-36, Isaiah 40:21, 41:4, John 1:1-4.

From the beginning of creation men had a free choice; the choice between The Most High, He Who is Good and He alone, and between evil. Most likely evil already existed before the creation of heaven and earth.

Proverbs 8:22 “The LORD possessed me at the beginning of His way,Before His works of old.”

The Word tells us that the spirit was already created before the carnal man : Ephesians 1: 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both[a] which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. 11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.

Read also 1 Corinthians 15:44-49. The carnal man came into the world and the spirit was created before that time. That’s why Ephesians 1:4 tells us that it all started before the foundation of the world…, read also Proverbs 8:22, hopeful you can see and understand it… To be born again (John 3:1-21, Romans 6:1-14) means taking the image that already has been created by The Living Word: Genesis 1:26-27… How did He created them? read verse 27…In His Image, man and woman . We know that The Most High is Perfect and Holy, and so also His image… Gen. 1:31, Matt. 5:48, Lev. 11:44-45, Deut. 18:13, Deut. 32:4, Psalm 18:30, Isaiah 6:3. That is why only the true worshippers shall worship The Most High in Spirit and in Truth, because they are after His image… John 4:22-25

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. (Eph. 1:4, Prov. 8:22) 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it . ‘John 1:5 Or overcome’

Now we can understand this verse: John 15:16 "You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.”

What happened after the man and woman had sinned? Genesis 2:6-7, like the wild animals and all the birds have been formed of the ground Gen. 2:19 so also men, after they pass away, they shall return to the ground Gen. 3:19, Ecclesiastes 3:18-22, 12:6-7, Acts 17:28-31, Hebrews 9:27. Dead came into the world through sin (Romans 5:12) because Adam and Eve disobeyed the commandment of our Creator (Gen. 2:16). The Creator told Adam from the beginning that the judgment for disobeying His commandment is dead. For our Heavenly Father the definition of sin is being disobedient to His commandments. Adam had only one commandment: don’t eat of the fruit of the tree of good and evil.

Deut. 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and

death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

The choice between obeying His Voice and following His commandments was there from the beginning . Even now we have the choice between life or dead. If we choose life we receive His blessings and if we choose dead the curses will follow. The Most High choose a people to call His own: the Children of Israel. But His chosen ones choose for death and are cursed till this day. That’s why it is also written: Psalm 119:153-154, “153 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.54 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me (make me alive)according to thy word.”

Is there a righteous seed?

The seed of the woman(Eve)

We know that women don’t have seed, so what is the meaning of Genesis 3:15? 15 “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." Also read Genesis 16:10-13, looking into the Strong’s:

http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H2233&t=KJV

seed, sowing, offspring

a sowing

seed

semen virile

offspring, descendants, posterity, children

of moral quality

a practitioner of righteousness (fig.)

sowing time (by meton)

The seed of the woman is her offspring, descendants, posterity, her children. And who are the seed of the serpent? John 8:33-59, II Corinthians 11:13-15. The serpent seed, not the opposite of the righteous ones, who are not righteous unto The Most High? They who are not willing to submit themselves to The Most High, to follow and to obey The Most High His commandments?

The serpent seed is opposite of the righteous seed and they are not willing to follow the truth of The Most High, just as it is giving by Him: Matthew 3:7-9, Matthew 13:24-31, Matthew 23:25-39, Luke 13:22-30.

Genesis 4 , is a good example of the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent, the story about Cain and Abel. Here we see the second sin being committed. Because Cain was jealous of his brother Abel he killed him. Abel was of the righteous seed as stated in Hebrews 11:3-4.

Why was Abel righteous? Hebrew 11:1 says that faith is the substance of things hoped for,

the evidence of things not seen. Abel was righteous because he had faith. He had faith that The Most High would give Him life through him being obedient to The Most High. Abel had faith in The Most High that He would redeem us from dead and sin although he could not yet see this deliverance. Because of this faith Abel offered the right and just offers required by The Most High: Genesis 4:4. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin, Hebrews 9:22, because life is in the blood, Lev. 17:11. The unrighteous, the disobedient seed, that of the serpent, envies(d) and hate(d) his brother. Other verses about envying, 1 Sam. 16:14-23, 18:1-30. See also Esau and Jacob…Malachi 1:1-5, Romans 9:9-13, Hebrews 11:17-22. Envy came in Esau’s heart to kill Jacob his brother after Jacob received the blessings of their father Isaac. Esau was a double minded man(Hebrews 12:16-17), look how easy he sold his birthright onto his brother Jacob (Gen. 25:30-34), Gen. 33:22, James 1:6-8, Psalm 119:113, 1 Samuel 15:27-31. All this was foretold to their mother Rebecca; Gen. 25:23. The twins in her womb Jacob and Esau were already at war with each other fighting in the womb, for The Most High had ordained them as two different types of people that would be at war with each other. One would be stronger than the other and the elder would serve the younger. Esau, being the firstborn, would serve Jacob.

Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of red (Edom, Strong’s H122) pottage (lintel beans), because the birthright meant nothing to Esau, he despised it. Esau lost his firstborn right by swearing: Gen. 25:32-33. Esau sold this birthright so easily and shows be his action that he did not care about this firstborn right and Jacob did! (Jacob did not deceive Esau!). Esau despised his birthright, and The Most High despised him. Esau was determined to go his own way and to do his own will instead of that of The Most High. In Genesis 26:34-35 we read how he committed his own seedline to eternal ruin and becoming "sons of perdition.” Not only did he give his birthright away to Jacob, he broke the hearts of both Isaac and Rebecca by taking Hittite women as his wives, Gen. 26:34-35, 36:1-9, Gen. 28:6-9. What was this birthright? The birthright was all about the forth bringing of the right(eous) seed, the second Adam, The Messiah and receiving the reign to rule the world.

The serpent seed will do only the desires of their father The Devil who is Satan (John 8:33-35, 37-59). This seed does not seeks the righteous, the will of The Most High and are deceivers who are manipulating everyone in this world. The deceit is that they will let you believe that they are something that they are not… Isaiah 14:12-23, Daniel 2:40-43.

They are deceivers!!! II Corinthians 11: “13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”

In Revelation 12:1-6 you read about the woman who was followed by the red dragon. The red dragon is the descendent/seed of the serpent, Jeremiah 30:3-9, , Gen. 25:25. Red is the color of Edom.

Esau is Edom and Edom is red (Gen. 36:1/8), Strong’s H132, red, ruddy (of Esau as infant)), Strong’s for ‘red’ is G4450 and for ‘dragon’ is it Strong’s G1404 meaning ; a dragon, a great serpent, a name for Satan. The woman here is the descendants of the mother of all living, Miriam (known as Maria). The serpent seed is king Herod, he wanted to kill The Messiah, Matt. 2:3-9, 13-23.

The question is who was king Herod, what is his bloodline? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_the_Great http://www.bibleguide.org/people-of-the-bible/74-was-herod-a-real-jew.html

Let us read again Gen. 3:15-16, The Most High is the One who had put enmity between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. Who is being followed by the dragon? It is Israel! The twelve stars are the twelve tribes of the children of Jacob/Israel, the seed of the woman, her offspring. Revelation 12: 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 God, and have the testimony of The Living Word.”

It is Jacobs trouble right now, only the Messiah can redeem the children of Jacob, those of the righteous seed who belief, obey and follow the Word of the Most High through the One Who shed His blood and redeemed us from sin!

The seven thrones are the seven empires of Rome and Rome sits on the seven mountains. The ten horns are the EU today which came forth from the Roman empire. You can read about the Roman empire in this article: http://ancient-rome.com/ppl_f.htm

As you see it is possible to be born out of the same womb, having the same bloodline and still have different seed: the seed of the woman or the seed of the serpent. It is all about to whose voice you chose to hearkened to: Exodus 15:26/19:5, Deut. 11:13/28:1, Jeremiah 7:23. The choice is if you want to hear and to obey the voice of The Most High, the seed of the woman which is the righteous seed. Or we can choose to disobey The Most High by doing evil (that what is opposite of His Word and commandments)Isaiah 1:12-20. We know that the seed of the serpent will always rebels against The Most High, they will not hearkened to His voice, they will not follow His instructions. Another example is between King Saul and David, 1 Sam. 15, 16, 18, John 10:4-6, Mark 4:1-20, Hebrews 3:15-19, Matt. 24:40-51, Matt. 12:30-37. For those who beliefs in the truth of The Most High let us hearken our ears to His voice, obeying and walking on the path that He directed for us to walk on.

Is it The Most High who is tempting those who He has His eyes on?

Accordance to James 1:13-18, The Most High cannot be tempted by evil, no does He Himself tempt anyone. Let us read all the verses; “13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death . 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. 18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

The Devil who is Satan is the one who is tempting men, he has the rulership on the earth! The Devil tempted also The Messiah. Matthew 4:1-8 The Messiah gave us an example, He did not rebelled against The Most High. He held/stick onto The Most High not letting go of The Most High His arm. The Messiah endured the temptations. James 1:12. Remember the servant is not greater than his master, John 15:20-21(Matt. 10:24). So why should we, who are believers and followers of The Messiah, not also be tempted by the Devil?

Blessed is the man that endure temptation, that he or she goes through the temptations and fights and overcomes(1 Corinthians 10:12-13, Eph. 2:1-10, James 1:12)… We must constantly endure and fight to overcome, because it is a constantly/daily battle…

Know and understand that those who The Most High loves He will chastens,and scourges, this He will do with every son whom He receives; Hebrews 12:6-11…

For gold is tried in the fire: 1 Peter 1:7-17; 7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 8 whom having not seen[a] you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.10 Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, 11 searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. 12 To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us[b] they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which angels desire to look into. 13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”[c] 17 And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear;

The Devil is the one who rebelled against The Most High and that is what he want us, those who beliefs in The Most High to do as well. That is why he constantly puts daily obstacles on our paths to let us fall so that we shall deviated from The Most High. He knows our lusts so this is what he will used against us. James 1:13-16.

Why is The Most High allows the Devil to operate like this? James 1:1-4, 2 Thess. 2:7-13. We all have sinned Romans 3:23. That is why the temptations is the trying of our faith, James 1:3-12… When we are being tempted the state that we have to be in, read Ecclesiasticus in Apocrypha, chapter 2:1-6.

Ecclesiasticus 2: “1 My son, if thou come to serve the Lord, prepare thy soul for temptation. 2 Set thy heart aright, and constantly endure, and make not haste in time of trouble. 3 Cleave unto him, and depart not away, that thou mayest be increased at thy last end.

4 Whatsoever is brought upon thee take cheerfully, and be patient when thou art changed to a low estate. 5 For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity. 6 Believe in him, and he will help thee; order thy way aright, and trust in him.

We must hold onto to The Most High and not depart away from Him, going through all that takes place, always seek The Most High in and through those temptations… This is not a easy path and walk, Matt. 7:14…

Who are those who The Most High let being tempted by the Devil? Psalm 141, John 1:12-13, John 6:43-51, 15:9-17, Hebrews 12:3-13, 1 John 5:2-5, 10-12…This is why we have to looking unto The Messiah, who is the author and finisher of our faith… Hebrews 12:1-17. This is a race that we have to run to win, endure hardness as a good soldier in Christ…

This is a race: 1 Corinthians 919 For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; 20 and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law,[a] that I might win those who are under the law; 21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God,[b] but under law toward Christ[c]), that I might win those who are without law; 22 to the weak I became as[d] weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23 Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. 26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

The desire of The Most High for His chosen ones His elect; Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

When we overcomes all the temptations: James 1:12, “12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.”

Questions and question every and anything

Please let us ask questions and question every- and -anything….The Question is who is Edom? Who are those in the land of Israel, who are calling themselves the chosen one, the Jews, please read Revelation 2:9, 3:9? Who are they? Google Askennazi jews and Khazars. Who is Amalek today? Something to dig into and search out if you really want to know who they are. There are many documents and information out there about them.

The slaughtering of the children of Israel through the centuries by their enemies it is all because of their disobedience that they receive the curses described in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28. The slavery of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and of Levi took place from West Africa. These tree tribes fled to West Africa when the Romans took over Jerusalem (Matt. 24:15-16).

Their enemies took them by ships over the waters to the new world, were their brethren , the so called Indians, the tribe of Ruben, Joseph were already. Many of the three tribes (the others tribes were already spread through the 4 corners of the world) who were living in Israel at the time after the coming of the Messiah, they were shipped and being enslaved into the America’s. If you read the books of Esdras which were in the Apocrypha, you will get the full understanding of the tribes of Ruben, Joseph and how they got into the new world (America). The Apocrypha was in the early Edition of the King James Bible 1611, which the early church leaders took out; they know why and maybe you will too if you start reading the Apocrypha.

Okay. Let us go further with the slavery of the house of Judah , the killing, the hanging on trees, the raping of our sisters, giving us religions with their doctrines and religions like Christianity, Islam, Judaism , Buddhism, Egyptology, atheism, you name it, it is to many! The children of Israel lost their identity totally (both houses). They forgot their God, the only true Living God, the God of their forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They start following, worshipping and obeying the gods of their enemies. Each time they went into captivity the Israelites started to serve the gods of their slave-masters; those who are serving Satan through different gods as their gods. Gods which our forefathers and ancestors didn’t even knew!

The curses which The Most High warned them against came upon the Children of Israel, Lev. 26, Deut. 11, 28, the both houses, Judah and Israel... Because of their idolatries and disobediences…

The question remains after the ending of slavery, why the authorities/governments and their slave-masters, they who took them to serve them, have never told the slaves that they are the Children of Israel. Their enemies, knew who the Israelites were and they kept this from them and have hidden the true identity of the Israelites until this day.

Praise The Most High that He is a Man after His Word and that what He says He will do He does. He is starting to wake His people up, so that they shall remember the path of old and will start walking in obedience by following His commandments and statutes and ordinances, through The Messiah, Ezekiel 37…

Our forefather Jacob, received the blessings of the first born, Gen. 25:22-26, Hosea 12:3-7, 1 Samuel 12:20-25. The Most High already knew that Jacob would bring forth the righteous bloodline, the righteous seed through The Messiah who had to come.

Out of Jacob’s seed derived the twelve tribes of Israel. The meaning of Jacob’s name(Gen. 25:22-26) is; Jacob = "heel holder" or "supplanter". http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H3478&t=KJV

The first birthright can pass to someone else in bloodline, this happened with the first born son of Jacob named Ruben, read Gen. 35:2, 49:3-4 and 1 Chron. 5:1-3…

Hopefully the understanding increased about how the seed is chosen, Genesis 6:5-22, 7-13. Reading, Gen. 6:8-10, 7:1, our forefather Abram (the Hebrew Gen.14:13), became the father of nations, of the children of Israel. Israel is great in number and is a multitude of nations, Gen. 11:10-32, 12:2-3, 7, 13:14-17, 15:1-18, 17:1-27, 18:1-15, 17-19, 21:1-7 (parable Luke 1:5-25), Gen. 22:1-19, 26:2-6, 24-25, 28:10-22 (31:9-15, 24-24, 29), 32:22-32. What does Israel means?: Israel = "God prevails", Gen. 35:1-15, 46:1-4, Romans 9:6-15, Hebrews 2:14-17.

The Living Word, Who is The Messiah said that He is the One who have chosen us, so whatever we asked the Father in His Name He may give us… What does The Messiah means by that He has chosen us? It means that He was the One Who was with our ancestors from the beginning … John 1:1-5, 1 John 2:12-13. 1 Corinthians 10:4 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

We have to go back to the beginning, we know that The Most High chose a peculiar people, Ex. 22: 28-31(Ex. 19:3-6), Deut. 7:6-26, 14:2, 32:7-14, 43, 1 Peter 2:9, Titus 2:14. Starting from our ancestor Noah and His sons and through the son of Noach, Shem, who is the forefather of Abraham.

John 15:16 "You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.”

We know and understand that Noah was a righteous man , blameless in his generation . Noah walked with God: Gen. 6:9. What did The Most High said to Noah in Gen. 6:17-20? Did Noah do what The Most High told him to do? Gen. 6:21-22. After the flood The Most High made a covenant with Noah: Gen.9:8-13 “8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, 9 "Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your descendants after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark. 11 I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth. " 12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: 13 I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.”

The Most High called Abram whose name became ‘Abraham’(Gen. 17:4-5), meaning ‘a father of Nations’, of the children of Israel, Genesis 12:1-3, 7’, after walking with The Most High. To understand why The Most High chose Abraham read Genesis 15, Genesis 17 (the covenant, Romans 4:9-15).

The changing of Abram’s name to Abraham, Gen. 17:4-5 and what it means:

This name may be viewed either as meaning "father of many" in Hebrew or else as a contraction of ABRAM (1) and מֹון ,many, multitude". Also our ancestor’s name, the wife of Abraham" (hamon) ָה�Sarai became Sarah, ‘Genesis 17:15 - Then God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name ."Sarai" means "princess." "Sarah" means "noblewoman."

The covenant The Most High made with Abraham, He made also with his descendants, through all their generations: Genesis 17:7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. The righteous seed is through the bloodline of the man… The seed of the serpent is going forth through the women by giving birth and by the seed of men.

The seed of Amelak who are the descendants of Esau, Ex. 17:8-16, Deut. 25:17-19, 1 Samuel 15:2-33, Dan. 2:43 are the ones opposite of The Most High His righteous seed.

Why did The Most High appeared to Abraham? Genesis 17:1; When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.(same example like Noah in Gen. 6:8-10, 18). The Most High is seeking for men and women who will walk before Him, being blameless.

What is the meaning of the word ‘blameless’ accordance to the Strong’s Concordance? http://biblehub.com/hebrew/8549.htm

Word Originfrom tamamDefinitioncomplete, soundNASB Translationblameless (22), blamelessly (1), complete (1), entire (1), full (1), intact (1), integrity (4), perfect (5), sincerity (1), unblemished (2), uprightly (1), who is perfect (1), whole (2), without blemish (12), without defect (36).

Being blameless is being perfect, being without sin, in the renewed covenant now through Christ. He Who died for our sins so we can now return back to the Father and the covenant. This is what draw The Most High to choose them(Noah and Abraham), because they were blameless and in fear off The Most High and they had wisdom: Proverbs 1:7, 3:7, 8:13, 9:10, Psalm 111:10. Job 12:12. Bible passages about fearing The Most High an about wisdom:

http://www.whatchristianswanttoknow.com/15-wisdom-quotes-from-the-bible/

Noah was a righteous and blameless man and he found grace in the eyes of The Most High and his seeds became righteous unto The Most High.

Our forefather Abraham was a righteous man because he believed The Most High and showed his believe by his actions by being obedient to everything The Most High told him to do. Abraham was also a friend of The Most High (James 2:23), Romans 4:1-2.

Read especially the verses in Romans 4, “ 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. 22 And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, 24 but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

Precepts on precepts (Isaiah 28:10): compare the verses James 2:23 and Romans 4:2, Romans 9:1-13 and Hebrews 2:10-18. This is what The Most High saw in Abraham, Genesis 18:17-19: 17 And the LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing,

18 since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD , to do righteousness and justice, that the LORD may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.”

How is the righteous and promised seed been chosen? Gen. 15:4-7, 17:1,2, 7-8, 18:1-15, 21:1-7,

The character of The Most High and who He is

Exodus 14:13-14, 17-20, 20:4-7, 34:6-7, Deuteronomy 5:6-11, Psalms 86:15, He guides, protects, delivers and fights for His own, Genesis 12:17-20, 16:13, 19:29, Joshua 10:8-15, Romans 8:28, 1 John 4:7-21…

The Most High is a God that will do everything and anything for those who belongs to Him, those who love Him and who are willing to do His will by keeping all His Laws, His decrees/statues and commandments, Gen. 18:17-19, Deut. 4:40, 6:4-9, 10:12-22, 30:10, 30:1-10…

Psalms 119:9; King David was truly a man after The Most High’s own heart. He knew how to pray unto The Most High humbling totally himself. King David knew and understood that it was The Most High alone who could teach him His ways and direct his path. PLEASE read Psalm 119 entirely. This Psalm is so beautiful, this is the example that we all have to be and life by!

You can find the character of The Most High through the entire Torah, for who He is, showed us from Genesis 3. He is as a Father for the Children of Israel, and their Husband, as well as their protector, their shield, their provider. Jeremiah 18:1-23, Lamentations 3:22–23

We know and understand that we live for the Almighty alone even if we don’t beliefs in Him, Romans 14:7-12, Isaiah 45:21-25

Exodus 34: 6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful

and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

The Almighty One

The is no gods besides the Almighty of Israel…

Isaiah 45:2-8, 55:6-13, Jeremiah 18:5-23, Isaiah 44:21-28, 45:14, 18-19, 21-25, 46:3-12

Jeremiah 18: 6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

The Spirit of Truth of The Most High

We can read in the Torah that the Spirit of Truth of The Most High came upon our brethren several times; Genesis 41:38-39, Job 33:4, Numbers 11:16-17, 27:18, Judges 13:24-25, 1 Samuel 10:6, 16:13, Daniel 2:47, 4:9. In Jeremiah 31:33-10(Jer. 24:1-10), 46:27-28, Ezekiel 36:1-38, 37:1-14. 15-28.

The Spirit of Truth is to guide His people who are believers of The Living Word and are followers of His footsteps, to guide them into all truth, John 16:5-15(14:15-31, 1 John 5:3-8), read also Ezekiel 37:1-14, Joel 2, Acts 2:1-13, 8:30-32, 36, 14:6, 11-14.

The Lost Sheep of the house of Israel

The Children of Israel didn’t keep the covenant, as they were supposed to do. They broke the covenant that they had made with the Most High (Deut. 4:1-40, 5:1-33);

Ezekiel 20:20 'Sanctify My sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.' 21"But the children rebelled against Me; they did not walk in My statutes, nor were they careful to observe My ordinances, by which, if a man observes them, he will live; they profaned My sabbaths. So I resolved to pour out My wrath on them, to accomplish My anger against them in the wilderness. 22"But I withdrew My hand and acted for the sake of My name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.…

We know that the children of the house of Israel rebelled and broke the covenant which they made with The Most High, Ex. 24. That is why the curses came upon them, Lev. 26 and Deut. 28, 29. Just like Adam in Gen. 2:16-17, the children of Israel had to make a choice, Deut. 30:11-20, Hosea 6:6-7, Jeremiah 30:12-24. The Children of Israel totally rebelled against The Most High, Hosea 8:1-14 and they forgot about Him, Jeremiah 3:21-22, judges 3:5-11, 8:34…

The chosen ones, from the House of Israel, His firstborn son Ex. 4:22, those who were once The Most High His people (Exodus 3:10) became gentiles. They transgressed His laws over and over again and because of this The Most High divorced them (Lev. 26:40, Isaiah 50:1, Jeremiah 3:14, Ezechiel 15:8/39:26, Hosea 2:1). And His people were not His people anymore, Hosea 1:9, Isaiah 42:7, 22 59:2, 64, Hebrews 3:7-19. We know that the house Israel was not His people anymore, Hosea 1:9, 4:17, 11:12 (Romans 11:2-5). And that the house of Judah and the house of Israel were separated from each other. Ezekiel 37:21-22. They were two different nations, because of the idolatries of the house of Israel. They were two different nation also in the time when The Living Word was among us.

The house of Israel was scattered through the four corners of the earth, later on also the house of Judah.

The Messiah is described in I Cor. 15:20-22 as the firstfruits of that them that slept… “20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.” Who are those that are sleeping(blind)?

“Isaiah 63:10a, But they rebelled And grieved His Holy Spirit”; The Holy Spirit has been there, the Holy Spirit has been there in the midst of Israel. Isaiah 63:10b, “ Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy, He fought against them. Isaiah 63:11 Then His people remembered the days of old, of Moses. Where is He who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of His flock? Where is He who put His Holy Spirit in the midst of them”.

The Most High divorced from the house of Israel which is the Northern kingdom, because of their transgressions and idolatries, Jeremiah 3:6-, Isaiah 50:1-3, Ezekiel 16, Hosea 2:1-22, 4, 5:1-7.

They became unclean unto The Most High that is why only through The Living Word who is The Messiah they can become clean from their unrighteousness…

Ephesians 5: 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who

is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Ezekiel 36: 16 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 17 Son of man, when the house of

Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman. 18 Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it: 19 And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them. 20 And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land. 21 But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went. 22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. 23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. 24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. 25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my ordinances, and do them. 28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. 29 I will also save you from all your uncleanesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. 30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. 31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. 32 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel. 33 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded. 34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. 35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.

36 Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it. 37 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock. 38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Those of the house of Judah knew and understood that the house of Israel were considered as gentiles by The Most High because of their idolatries, their disobedience and by following and worshipping other gods… They were not His people anymore, Hosea 1:9, 2:23, Romans 9:23…

Acts 10 28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God. 34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons.

The Most High is not a respecter of persons? Acts 10:34, Romans 2:11, James 2:1-13. But He had respect unto the

Children of Israel, because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Deut. 6:10-13, 8:18, 10:11, 29:13-15, 30:2.

Exodus 2:25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.

Lev. 26 :9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.

2 Kings 13:22 But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. 23 And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.

Acts 10

35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. 36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ(Acts 10:43): (he is Lord of all:)

37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 44 While Peter yet spake these words, The Spirit of Truthfell on all them which heard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

As we just read in the Scriptures The Most High IS a respecter of persons. Before The Most High had respect for His people but because they disobeyed Him, He did not respect them anymore. Because of the renewal of the covenant by the blood of The Messiah, the Living Word, The Most High could take (remarried) back His people into His covenant.

The reason why The Most High is no respecter of persons at this time is because He can now take the gentiles, the House of Israel, which He divorced, back into His covenant without remembrance of their sins (Jeremiah 31:31-34, Hebrew 8:12, 1 Peter 1:13-25).

It is all about the Children of Israel, that is the reason why the Living Word came. He came to bring peace between the house of Israel, the Northern Kingdom and the house of Judah the Southern Kingdom.

They are the two sticks in His hand written in Ezekiel 37:19, they are a multitude of nations, (Exodus 1:8-22) and still are till today. The kingdom was divided because of the sin of King Salomon, 1 Kings 11, 12:1-24, II Chron. 10:1-19, 11:1-4. The kingdom was separated into two houses, the house of Israel and the house of Judah and the two houses were in war with each other several times, 1 Kings 12:21-24, II Chron. 28:6, 8.

Both two kingdoms had their own kings:

http://www.vtaide.com/gleanings/Kings-of-Israel/kings.html

The two houses have no knowledge of The Most High because they have lost their identity and His

Word.

http://www.angelfire.com/ill/hebrewisrael/printpages/lost.html

Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and pray to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2

For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge(Hosea 4:6-10).

The Spirit will guide the children of Israel and Judah, those who are righteous and believe in the Living Word, those is who the Spirit shall guide into all truth, John 14:15-31, 16:5-15.

Let us take a look at Cornelius in Acts 10:1-48 and in Acts 11:1-18, to understand that Cornelius was a Israelite and all others who were called gentiles were Israelites. We read what Shau’l/Paul said that he was a Roman citizen, Acts 22:25-29, but we also know that Shau’l was a Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin, Romans 11:1-2. How does this relate to Cornelius? Who was Cornelius? Was Cornelius also an Israelite with a Roman citizenship as Shau’l/Paul was?

Acts 10:1-48 Acts 10:1 describes Cornelius position in the Italian army. He was a centurion of the band called the Italian band. Being of the Italian band tells us about the occupation of Cornelius in the Roman army. It does not tell us that he was an Italian by blood. To understand this we have to researched how the Roman army operated at that time. So let’s take a look at the word, ‘centurion’;

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/centurion?s=t

cen·tu·ri·on

sɛnˈtʊər iən, -ˈtyʊər-Show Spelled [sen-too r-ee-uh n, -tyoo r-] Show IPA

noun

1. (in the ancient Roman army) the commander of a century.

2. ( initial capital letter ) Military . any one of various British battle tanks in service from 1945 to 1967.

Origin: 1225–75; Middle English  < Latin centuriōn-  (stem of centuriō ), equivalent to centur ( ia ) century + -iōn- -ion

If we look into the history of the Roman army, we will come into a much deeper understanding of how this army operated in ancient times.

Who were in the Roman army?

Only men could be in the Roman Army. No women. Every Roman soldier was a Roman citizen. He had to be at least 20 years old. He was not supposed to get married while he was a soldier. Most soldiers in the Roman Empire came from countries outside Italy. There were Roman soldiers from Africa, France, Germany, the Balkans, Spain and the Middle East.Soldiers had to stay in the army for at least 25 years! Then they could retire, with a pension or a gift of land to farm. Old soldiers often settled down to old age together, in a military town or colonia.

http://classic.net.bible.org/dictionary.php?word=Army,%20Roman

Cornelius was of the Italian Band. What was an Italian Band?

There was another cohort in Caesarea, the "Italian band" (Cohors Italica, Vulgate) of which Cornelius was centurion (Acts 10:1: ek speires tes kaloumenes Italikes). The cohortes Italicae (civium Romanorum) were made up of Roman citizens (Marquardt, Romische Staatsverwaltung, II, 467).

The book, Introduction: Makers of Ancient Strategy

From the Persian Wars to the Fall of Rome by Victor Davis Hanson

The army remained loyal to the Romans and fought with them to suppress the revolt of 66 CE, under the command of Herod’s great-grandson, King Agrippa II. Conversely, Herod probably modeled his army on the Roman army and used some ethnic Roman officers, and it is likely that many Jews were

recruited into the Roman legionary or auxiliary army both in his reign and later. But Mel Gibson’s portrait of Latin-speaking soldiers in The Passion is inaccurate. The soldiers in the “Roman” garrison of Judaea spoke Aramaic.

The army that the Romans initially sent against the rebels in 66, under the command of Cestius Gallus, governor of Syria, included legionary (i.e., Roman citizen) soldiers, auxiliary (i.e., noncitizen) soldiers, contingents from the armies of two local allied (“client”) kings, and local Syrian militia.

At the same time, the royal Jewish forces loyal to Agrippa II moved against the rebels in three separate locations. Later, the larger Roman army under the command of Vespasian numbered 55,000–60,000 legionary and auxiliary troops and 15,000 allied troops, and included at least one Jewish high officer, Tiberius Julius Alexander of Egypt.

In this example and in others that could be discussed from around the empire, it is difficult to distinguish the Romans from their subjects, a procedure made even more complicated because natives, when enfranchised, took Roman names, and many cannot be distinguished in the historical record from ethnic Italians. For example, while several of Herod’s military officers had Roman names, we do not know if they were enfranchised Jews or soldiers imported or borrowed from Rome’s legionary armies.

Should we count all Roman citizens as “Roman,” including King Herod and his successors and Josephus himself, and all retired auxiliary soldiers, their freedmen, their descendants, and the descendants of their freedmen? Should Paul of Tarsus, whose family had acquired Roman citizenship from an unknown patron, therefore count as Roman, along with any freedmen in his family? Should we rather count only the staff sent from Italy, the procurator and his entourage? Should we count only legionary soldiers—but there were no legions deployed in Judaea before the revolt of 66. One scholar, writing on Gaul, has described the term “Roman” as a social status, not an ethnicity, and as such it was fluid: one could be more or less Roman.

CHAPTER 2

How Alexander [Bala] In His War With Demetrius, Granted Jonathan Many Advantages And Appointed Him To Be High Priest And Persuaded Him To Assist Him Although Demetrius Promised Him Greater Advantages On The Other Side. Concerning The Death Of Demetrius.

1 Now in the hundred and sixtieth year, it fell out that Alexander, the son of Antiochus Epiphanes, came up into Syria, and took Ptolemais the soldiers within having betrayed it to him; for they were at enmity with Demetrius, on account of his insolence and difficulty of access; for he shut himself up in a palace of his that had four towers which he had built himself, not far from Antioch and admitted nobody. He was withal slothful and negligent about the public affairs, whereby the hatred of his subjects was the more kindled against him, as we have elsewhere already related.

When therefore Demetrius heard that Alexander was in Ptolemais, he took his whole army, and led it against him; he also sent ambassadors to Jonathan about a league of mutual assistance and

friendship, for he resolved to be beforehand with Alexander, lest the other should treat with him first, and gain assistance from him; and this he did out of the fear he had lest Jonathan should remember how ill Demetrius had formerly treated him, and should join with him in this war against him. He therefore gave orders that Jonathan should be allowed to raise an army, and should get armor made, and should receive back those hostages of the Jewish nation whom Baechides had shut up in the citadel of Jerusalem.

When this good fortune had befallen Jonathan, by the concession of Demetrius, he came to Jerusalem, and read the king's letter in the audience of the people, and of those that kept the citadel. When these were read, these wicked men and deserters, who were in the citadel, were greatly afraid, upon the king's permission to Jonathan to raise an army, and to receive back the hostages. So he delivered every one of them to his own parents.

And thus did Jonathan make his abode at Jerusalem, renewing the city to a better state, and reforming the buildings as he pleased; for he gave orders that the walls of the city should be rebuilt with square stones, that it might be more secure from their enemies.

And when those that kept the garrisons that were in Judah saw this, they all left them, and fled to Antioch, excepting those that were in the city Bethsura, and those that were in the citadel of Jerusalem, for the greater part of these was of the wicked Jews and deserters, and on that account these did not deliver up their garrisons.

2 When Alexander knew what promises Demetrius had made Jonathan, and withal knew his courage, and what great things he had done when he fought the Macedonians, and besides what hardships he had undergone by the means of Demetrius, and of Bacchides, the general of Demetrius's army, he told his friends that he could not at present find any one else that might afford him better assistance than Jonathan, who was both courageous against his enemies, and had a particular hatred against Demetrius, as having both suffered many hard things from him, and acted many hard things against him. If therefore they were of opinion that they should make him their friend against Demetrius, it was more for their advantage to invite him to assist them now than at another time.

It being therefore determined by him and his friends to send to Jonathan, he wrote to him this epistle: "King Alexander to his brother Jonathan, sendeth greeting.

We have long ago heard of thy courage and thy fidelity, and for that reason have sent to thee, to make with thee a league of friendship and mutual assistance. We therefore do ordain thee this day the high priest of the Jews, and that thou beest called my friend. I have also sent thee, as presents, a purple robe and a golden crown, and desire that, now thou art by us honored, thou wilt in like manner respect us also."

3. When Jonathan had received this letter, he put on the pontifical robe at the time of the feast of tabernacles, 2 four years after the death of his brother Judas, for at that time no high priest had been made. So he raised great forces, and had abundance of armor got ready. This greatly grieved Demetrius when he heard of it, and made him blame himself for his slowness, that he had not prevented Alexander, and got the good-will of Jonathan, but had given him time so to do.

However, he also himself wrote a letter to Jonathan, and to the people, the contents whereof are these: "King Demetrius to Jonathan, and to the nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting.

Since you have preserved your friendship for us, and when you have been tempted by our enemies, you have not joined yourselves to them, I both commend you for this your fidelity, and exhort you to continue in the same disposition, for which you shall be repaid, and receive rewards from us; for I will free you from the greatest part of the tributes and taxes which you formerly paid to the kings my predecessors, and to myself; and I do now set you free from those tributes which you have ever paid; and besides, I forgive you the tax upon salt, and the value of the crowns which you used to offer to me 3 and instead of the third part of the fruits [of the field], and the half of the fruits of the trees,

I relinquish my part of them from this day: and as to the poll-money, which ought to be given me for every head of the inhabitants of Judah, and of the three toparchies that adjoin to Judah, Samaria, and Galilee, and Peres, that I relinquish to you for this time, and for all time to come. I will also that the city of Jerusalem be holy and inviolable, and free from the tithe, and from the taxes, unto its utmost bounds.

And I so far recede from my title to the citadel, as to permit Jonathan your high priest to possess it, that he may place such a garrison in it as he approves of for fidelity and good-will to himself, that they may keep it for us. I also make free all those Jews who have been made captives and slaves in my kingdom. I also give order that the beasts of the Jews be not pressed for our service; and let their sabbaths, and all their festivals, and three days before each of them, be free from any imposition.

In the same manner, I set free the Jews that are inhabitants of my kingdom, and order that no injury be done them. I also give leave to such of them as are willing to list themselves in my army, that they may do it, and those as far as thirty thousand; which Jewish soldiers, wheresoever they go, shall have the same pay that my own army hath; and some of them I will place in my garrisons, and some as guards about mine own body, and as rulers over those that are in my court.

I give them leave also to use the laws of their forefathers, and to observe them; and I will that they have power over the three toparchies that are added to Judah; and it shall be in the power of the high priest to take care that no one Jew shall have any other temple for worship but only that at Jerusalem. I bequeath also, out of my own revenues, yearly, for the expenses about the sacrifices, one hundred and fifty thousand [drachmae]; and what money is to spare, I will that it shall be your own. I also release to you those ten thousand drachmae which the kings received from the temple, because they appertain to the priests that minister in that temple. And whosoever shall fly to the temple at Jerusalem, or to the places thereto belonging, or who owe the king money, or are there on any other account, let them be set free, and let their goods be in safety. I also give you leave to repair and rebuild your temple, and that all be done at my expenses. I also allow you to build the walls of your city, and to erect high towers, and that they be erected at my charge.

And if there be any fortified town that would be convenient for the Jewish country to have very strong, let it be so built at my expenses."

4. This was what Demetrius promised and granted to the Jews by this letter. But king Alexander raised a great army of mercenary soldiers, and of those that deserted to him out of Syria, and made an expedition against Demetrius.

And when it was come to a battle, the left wing of Demetrius put those who opposed them to flight, and pursued them a great way, and slew many of them, and spoiled their camp; but the right wing,

where Demetrius happened to be, was beaten; and as for all the rest, they ran away. But Demetrius fought courageously, and slew a great many of the enemy; but as he was in the pursuit of the rest, his horse carried him into a deep bog, where it was hard to get out, and there it happened, that upon his horse's falling down, he could not escape being killed; for when his enemies saw what had befallen him, they returned back, and encompassed Demetrius round, and they all threw their darts at him; but he, being now on foot, fought bravely. But at length he received so many wounds, that he was not able to bear up any longer, but fell. And this is the end that Demetrius came to, when he had reigned eleven years, 4 as we have elsewhere related.

Now that we have dig into all of this, let us read Acts 10:28 and 22:25-28 again, getting the precepts of The Most High to understand. Gentiles described in the Word does not always mean the other nation, non-Israelites. The house of Israel became gentiles because they were not The Most High people anymore, that is why they are the lost sheep of the house of Israel, Matt. 15:21-28, Isaiah 49:5-7.

Joel 2:28 “It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on (all flesh) His people; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions. Joel 2:29 “Even on the male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. The question is here whose sons and daughters are mentioned? Let’s read Jeremiah 31 again.

We must not be like:

Isaiah 63:10a, But they rebelled And grieved His Holy Spirit” (; The Holy Spirit has been there, the Holy Spirit has been there in the community of Israel) Isaiah 63:10b, “ Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy, He fought against them. Isaiah 63:11 Then His people remembered the days of old, of Moses. Where is He who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of His flock? Where is He who put His Holy Spirit in the midst of them”.

This is all prophecy!!! Deuteronomy 28:68, that is why only The Most High, through The Messiah, can redeem/deliver Israel and not men. Please read the Prophets: Isaiah 43, 44, Psalm 25:22!

If you study the Word carefully from the beginning till the end it is all about The Most High and His Chosen One, Israel. That is why He only can redeem/deliver them…

"The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him" (II Chronicles 16:9).

What is The Most High looking for in those who say that they loves Him?

It should be our goal to become so in tune with Him that when He tells us to do something, we hear Him and obey.

We should aim to be so closely joined to Him that the desires of our heart, the thoughts of our mind, the words of our mouth and our every action becomes a reflection of the One with Whom we are united with. That is God's desire too. If He is to carry out His will in the earth, He must have people who will join themselves with Him in that way.

"God has to have branches of the same texture as Himself, the same juice, the same mind, the same spirit, before He can bring forth His fullness and that what He wants to bring forth in and through us.

Let us put Him first and keep your mind focused on Him in union and in love." The Living Word says it this way : "Since you became alive again, when Christ arose from the dead, now set your sights on the rich treasures and joys of heaven where He sits besides God in the place of honor and power. Let heaven fill your thoughts..."(Colossians 3:1-2).

Jeremiah 29:23 Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; 24 But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the LORD , exercising loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the LORD .

25 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “that I will punish all who are circumcised with the uncircumcised— 26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, the people of Ammon, Moab, and all who are in the farthest corners, who dwell in the wilderness. For all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.”

Are we being tested by the Most High?

1 THESSALONIANS 2:4, “even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts.”

PSALM 105:19, “Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the Lord tested him.”

"And you shall remember all the way which the Lord your God has led you in the wilderness these forty years, that He might humble you, testing you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not," (Deut. 8:2). Deut. 8:2 is an example of anthropomorphism or personification, combined with a testing expression; that is, God is speaking in human terms and human ways for the benefit of the people. In this case, it is to reveal to them the quality of their faith before The Most High.

The deeper meaning of the word “anthropomorphism”:

http://www.gotquestions.org/anthropomorphism.html

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anthropomorphic

The Most High knows all things (1 John 3:20)and He will test you/people. He tests people not to determine the things He does not know(He is all knowing), but The Most High is working within our time frame, He teach us and reveals to us His will.

The Most High is testing those who are willing to follow His commandments to see if they shall obey Him entirely. Read Genesis 22:1-19, especially the verses 14-18; “ 14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The- LORD -Will-Provide; [ b ] as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided.” 15 Then the Angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, 16 and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD , because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son— 17 blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18 In your seed all the nations of the earth shall

be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”

You can see that our forefather Abraham had been first tested by The Most High to see if Abraham would walked before Him blamelessly (Gen. 17:1), before He sworn by Himself to do all that He promised to our forefather Abraham...

First The Most High made the oath/covenant with Himself, Gen. 15:17-21, Romans 3:1-20, Hebrews 6:13-19. That is why no men can boast (1 Corinthians 1:29-31, Ephesians 2:8-9), men didn’t made the covenant with Him, but He did because He is the One who went through the peaces…

The Most High also tested the Children of Israel with the Manna. He wanted to see if they would give ear to His commandments by keeping all His statutes, Ex. 15:25-27, 16, 19, 24, Deut. 5, 6, 7:8-26, Jeremiah 6:27-28.

Exodus 15:25 There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them, 26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”

Ex. 32:7-14, in accordance with verse 8, the will of THE MOST HIGH is that He wants us, His chosen ones, to walk according to His commandments, statutes and ordinances. These has to be teach to us: Ex. 24:1-18 (verse 12), Psalm 25:4-5.

The Most High and His chosen people

Psalm 35, 50, Isaiah 44:21-28, 45:9-25, 46:1-23, 49:1-7, 8-26, 52:1-13, 53, 54, 57:14-21, 60, 61, 62, 63)16-19), 65, 66

The Most High did not sent Moses to Pharaoh to free another people besides the children of Israel, who is His firstborn son; Exodus 4:22  ‘And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith

the LORD, Israel   is   my son,   even   my firstborn’ .

Exodus 19:1-25

3 And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: 4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. 5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. 6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”

The commandments were given to Moses for the Children of Israel;

Exodus 20

All of Israel heard the voice of the Almighty: Ex. 20:18-21. The Almighty One gave them His rulings, Exodus 20:22-26, 21, 22, 23.

***The covenant that the Almighty One made with the Children of Israel at mount Sinai, Exodus 24, the covenant they broke, remember He made the covenant only with Israel and not with all the other peoples of the earth(Deut. 7:6-9)… To Israel only He gave His commandments, statutes and ordinances, His firstborn son: Exodus 4:22-23, Hosea 11, 12, 13***

Please, read all the prophets to come to a deeper knowledge and understanding about the relationship between The Most High and His chosen one, the Children of Israel.

Who are the Prophets of The Most High according to the Word?

Deut. 18:15-18: who is this prophet? Read also Hosea 12:14,

1 Samuel 9:9: 9 (Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spoke, Come, and

let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)

Amos 3:7-8: 7Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, But he revealed his secret unto his servants the prophets. 8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

2 Peter 1:20-21 “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”

The Prophets of The Most High spoke to the Children of Israel, both houses, to repent and to turn back to their Heavenly Father. Those who loves The Most High He will showing, " 10 And showing mercy and steadfast love to thousands and to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.” Deut. 5:10(Ex. 20:5-6, 34:6-7, Deut. 7:9-10, Numbers 14:18). The captivity of the Children of Israel is almost to a end, the dry bones are waking up, Ezekiel 37.

The Most High servant is Israel: Isaiah 41:8-9, 54, Israel is His elect: 45:4, Ex. 19, Deut. 7:1-26, Psalm 34, 50. He is the Savior of Israel: Isaiah 43:3-6, 45:19-20. He knows the thoughts He has for the Children of Israel, Jeremiah 29:11. The children of Israel only has to look upon Him to be saved: Isaiah 45:22, 25, Isaiah 11:10-13

Lev. 26:40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me; 41 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity: 42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. 43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my ordinances, and because their soul abhorred my statutes. 44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.

45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD. 46 These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

The Most High is the one who will save His people; Isaiah 49:25-26, He is the shepherd of Israel Ezekiel 34.

Can both houses, the house of Judah and the house of Israel be saved by The Most High? We understand that The Most High has blinded the eyes of His people, “Romans 11: 7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. 8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.” Romans 11:25-36, Isaiah 59:20-21, Jeremiah 31:31-34, Hebrews 8:7-12, 10:15-18... More verses: Isaiah 62, Isaiah 65:17-25, Isaiah 66:10-24, Jer. 23:1-32, Jer. 30:24, Jer.31:1-40, Jer. 33:1-26. “The Portion of Jacob is not like them for He is the Maker of all, and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance, The Most High of hosts is His Name, Jeremiah 51:19, Jeremiah 10:16! Eze. 36:1-38, Eze. 37:1-28

The Most High and His Word are One and they are Truth! He is not a Man to lie! What He says He will do He will do! Numbers 23:19-20, Titus 1:1-2

Isaiah 44 1Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: 2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. 3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: 4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses. 5 One shall say, I am the LORD's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel. 6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. 7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. 8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. 9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. 10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing? 11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together. 12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint. 13 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house. 14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.

15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto. 16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire: 17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god. 18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. 19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree? 20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand? 21 Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me. 22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. 23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel. 24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; 25 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; 26 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof: 27 That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers: 28 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall

Reading John 6:37-39, who are the ones meant in these verses? 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day . 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Who are those that have to be raised up again at the last day? Who were the head and above all peoples of the earth? Deut. 7:6, Deut. 28:13? Who fell down very low? Read the Torah, the curses which are described in here and also read all the Prophets, than read the renewed testament! Who came above the Children of Israelites, when they felt down? Deut. 28:43-44, 32:21.

Those who are righteous unto The Most High are the ones who shall be raise up from their graves. Those who follow Torah and Christ from the house of Judah and from the house of Israel , both houses, Ezekiel 37:15-28, will be raise up. Those who are believing in the Living Word and His Father and are followers of the way of old, Jeremiah 6:16, keeping all the commandments and statutes and ordinances which are described in the Word. They have to become One again with their Heavenly Father: II Corinthians 5:18-19 (John 3:16). What does the word, ‘reconcile’ means, mentioned in verse 19?

The eyes of The Most High was on which people of all peoples on the earth? Why did The Most High acknowledge them? The cry of which people reached to The Most High? What did the Most High saw that was doing to this people by their enemy? Which people did The Most High chosen out of all people on the face of the earth to be a special people unto Himself? Ex. 2:23-25, 3:6-12, Deut. 7:6? This means that the Living Word came to reconcile the same people describes in all of these verses. The Children of Israel, The Most High remembered the covenant He made with their forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Exodus 2:24-25. We know that they are in the world, they have been described also in John 3:16 (Isaiah 45:17), John 17:9, John 6:37-39…

What is the definition of the word ‘world’? ’ The word world can mean a specific, a select group of people…A class or group of people with common characteristics or pursuits.

http://www.ecclesia.org/truth/world.html

Further prove of this;

John 1:29; ‘The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!’

Whose sin did The Living Word came to take away? Acts 5:30-31, 30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. 31 Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. Isaiah 45:17(John 3:16)…

Acts 1:6:6 So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"

1 Corinthians 1:26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not

many mighty, not many noble, are called. 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence. The Children of Israel can only come back to The Most High through The Living Word, reading John 14:6-11, hopefully you shall understand.

The time of our fathers in the wilderness…

The Most High spoke through Moses to the children of Israel also in the land Egypt;

Ex. 12 (read also chapter 13:1-16, they were still in the land Egypt), “12:24 And all of you shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever. 12:25 And it shall come to pass, when all of you be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he has promised, that all of you shall keep this service. 12:26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean all of you by this service? 12:27 That all of you shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he stroke the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.”

The Most High proved the children of Israel with the Manna, trying them out if they would kept His commandments and all His statutes, Ex. 15:25-27, 16, 19, 24, more chapters and verses: Deut. 5, 6, 7:8-26

Exodus 15:25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, 15:26 And said, If you will diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD your God, and will do that which is right in his sight, and will give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon you, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that heals you.

In Leviticus we read all about the offerings unto The Most High; the law of the clean and unclean animals, His feasts, and the statues and ordinances. We have to know and to understand how to walk before The Most High accordance His will. All accordance to His terms and His ways as He commanded us to do…

The book Numbers also describes His statutes and rules and judgments. We read about wars with other nations and about Israel’s disobedience and about the sharing of the land Canaan unto the 12 tribes of Israel.

In Deuteronomy 6, 7, 8 The Most High let the children of Israel know how they have to love Him and how they have to keep His Commandments and His statutes and His ordinances.

Deut. 10:12-22 gives a good description of The Lord about what He desires from the children of Israel: “12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, 13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good? 14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is. 15 Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day. 16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked. 17 For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward: 18 He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. 19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. 21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen. 22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.”

After Joshua the son of Nun died. And when all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who did not know The Most High nor the work which He had done for Israel. The idolatrous worship and disobedience of the Children of Israel onto The Most High begun. Judges 2:6-23, 3:1-15

We know that the Children of Israel rebelled and broke the covenant which they made with The Most High, Ex. 24. The curse which came upon them, Lev. 26 and Deut. 28, 29. The choice that the children of Israel had to make, Deut. 30:11-20, just like Adam did in Gen. 2:16-17, Hosea 6:6-7, Jeremiah 30:12-24.

The children of Israel rebelled against The Most High, Hosea 8:1-14. They were prideful: Jeremiah 13:15-17, 24-27, Isaiah 3:16-26, 4:1…

Those who are waking up and belongs to The Most High are seeking the old paths: Jeremiah 6:16 Thus saith the LORD , Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

The Prophets prophesied always to the children of Israel to repent and to turn back to their Heavenly Father, (Ex. 20:5-6, 34:6-7, Deut. 5:10, 7:9-10, Numbers 14:18).

The time of the curses for the Children of Israel, Jacob’s trouble is almost to a end, the dry bones are waking up, Ezekiel 37… More and more are starting to investigate the Scriptures and their history and their knowledge are increasing by The Most High. They are remembering who they are, their identity and who their God is, the God of their forefathers Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their ancestors.

Several verses to dig into yourselves all about Israel: Isaiah 1:10-20, 11:11-16, 2:1-5, 6:5-13, 9:7-20, 10:1-4, 11:1-10, 11:11-16, 43:1-21, 65, 66:5-24, Jeremiah 3:14-25, 4:1-4, Psalm 107:1-3, Ezekiel 16:60-63 (The Most High is the One who will do the atonement for Israel), Ezekiel 20:34-44, Hosea 2:12-22, Amos 9:11-15. Healing can only come when Israel returns to the Most High, Hosea 5:8-15,

6:1-11, 7, Hosea 3:1-5, Zephaniah 3:8-10, Ezekiel 45:12-16, Ezekiel 36:11; 24, Isaiah 26:6, Isaiah 35:1-2, Micah 7:7-20

The Most High is the One who will buy us and gather His people from the four corners of the earth where they have been scattered. Deut. 28-68, Isaiah 11-12-13, 12:1-6, 14:1-23, 17:1-11, Ezekiel 39:17-29, Ezekiel 37, Jeremiah 30, 31, 33, The Most High shall make them His people again, Ezekiel 33:23-26

The Most High is the judge; Micah 6, 7:1-6,

The Kingdom of The Most High and His chosen shepherd

Acts 13:22 And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David[a] the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will. Footnotes Psalm 89:20, 1 Samuel 13:14

John 7: 42 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”

David was a man after the Most High His own heart. He had made David king over His people, 1 Samuel 13:14, 1 Kings 1:31, 16:1-13, Psalm 89, 110, 119, Isaiah 11:1-10, Jeremiah 33:19-22, Hosea 3:4-5, Deut. 18:15-18, Hosea 12:14, The shepherd of The Most High would come through the house and lineage of King David, Ezekiel 34:23-24, 37:24, Amos 9:11-12

Psalm 89:20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: 21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. 22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. 25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. 27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. 28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. 29 His seed also will I make to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven. 30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my ordinances; 31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; 32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 33 Nevertheless my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. 34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. 35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. 36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. 37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. 38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

Psalm 16:1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. 2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extended not to thee; 3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. 5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of

my cup: thou maintains my lot. 6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. 7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. 8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiced: my flesh also shall rest in hope. 10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

The Living Word came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel as we already know and understand; Matt. 10:5-8, Matt. 15:24. He came for sinners; Matt. 9:13, Hosea 6:6, Luke 15:1-10, Matt. 18:12-14, Luke 5:27-32, because they, the children of Israel, are all sinners; Romans 3:9-20...

The Living Word is the good Shepherd; John 10:1-21, and He has also others sheeps ; verse 16, "And other sheep I have which are not of this fold - I have to bring them as well, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock, one shepherd"; John 11:52, Isaiah 56:8, Eph. 2:13-22, Eze. 37:15-28!

Israel as warning to us to this generation, whose eyes are getting open to see and our ears to hear so that they can understand. They are waking up and are getting understanding and knowledge of the ways of old, the way of our ancestors.

We of this generation, who are believers and followers of the Way through the Living Word (who showed us how to follow His footsteps), He is leading us back to His Father, The Most High of Israel. We are being grafted back into our old tree, the olive tree of Israel, 1 Cor. 10:1-13, Rom. 10:16-21, Rom. 11, Rom. 9:30-32, Rom. 10:1-21.

Romans 11: I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness? 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 16 For if the first fruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them partakers of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

The covenant still stands till today with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, who are called the Children of Israel. The Most High had only made a covenant with them; Jer. 31-31-40 and His Word never change; Isaiah 2:1-5, Micah 4:1-5, Ezekiel 36:26, Hebr. 8:8-13, Hebr. 10, Rev. 21:9-22. To get a full understanding of His Word it is the best to read the entire Scriptures/Bible!

The Living Word said in Matt. 5:17-20, that He did not came to change anything and He is the same yesterday, today, and forever; Hebr. 13:8!

The Living Word

Deut. 18:15 “The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear, 16 according to all you desired of the LORD your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, nor let me see this great fire anymore, lest I die.’ 17 “And the LORD said to me: ‘What they have spoken is good. 18 I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. 19 And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him.

This is why the Living Word is a light to ‘world’. He is the light for the children of Israel who became blind and are in the world. Read Isaiah 42:1, 6-7, 61:1, Luke 4:16-18, 20-21 (Isaiah 61:1), John 1:29, John 17:6-26, to see and understand why the Living Word came in the flesh.

Hopefully you understand now who the world is and who are in the world. In Acts 5:30-31, the Living Word prayed for those who are in the world, now we know He is talking about the children of Israel described in Isaiah 45:17(John 3:16), 2 Corinthians 5:19.

The Children of the house of Israel became gentiles and therefore became blind, because they were disobedient unto the Most High. That is why the Living Word is a Light unto them, they are the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And not only to them also the house of Judah became gentiles unto The Most High after they were taking away from their land to the new world by their enemies… The enemies of Israel: Ex. 17:8-16, Psalm 83, Numbers 24;16-23, Ezekiel 35, Amos 1:1-5, 2:1-3, Joel 3:1-8…

Matt. 4:15-16 (Galilee of the gentiles), Matt. 15:24: the Living Word is only sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel; both tribes the northern and southern kingdoms.

The kingdoms/countries that took the house of Israel and the house of Judah in captivity; Isaiah 49:5-6 (Acts 13:47). Isaiah 50:17: first the king of Assyria took the house of Israel the Northern kingdom captive(II Kings 17) and the Babylonian took the house of Judah the southern kingdom captive: king Nebuchadrezzar(1 Chronicles 9:1-34). http://www.thelawkeepers.org/africo.htm http://www.thelawkeepers.org/bhifaq.htm

In their captivity the children of Israel took the customs of those who captivated them, but the Northern Kingdom, the house of Israel went into total idolatry : Hosea 4:17, 11:12, Isaiah 49:6. The preserved of Israel are those who stood faithful unto the Most High.

The preserved ones are of the Southern Kingdom and of the tribe of Judah, the tribe of Benjamin and the tribe of Levi (2 Chronicles 11:12-14). The other ten tribes were given to Jeroboam, and formed the Northern kingdom of Israel.

How the split of the 12 tribes: As Solomon grew older he fell increasingly into idolatrous worship(Deut. 17:14-20). He so disgraced himself through his worship of idols that God rebuked him: "I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant “Jeroboam”( 1 Kings 11:11, 26-33, 34-37, 40, 12:1-32, 14:21-31, 2 Kings 3:3, 17:20-23). Wherefore The Lord said unto Solomon, for as much as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, and will give it to thy servant. Jeroboam's ascendancy wasn't the product of his own righteousness but came about, rather ironically, by Solomon's idolatry. To come to deeper understanding of the split of the both houses you can start reading from the book 1 Kings 11…

Did the ten tribes of Israel the Northern Kingdom ever went back to the land of Israel after their captive by Assyrians? The house of Judah returned to land under Zerubbabel, Ezra and Nehemiah…

Although some of the ten tribes did rejoined to Judah and went back to the land, yet not all of the whole ten tribes returned back to the land.

Articles about the ancient tribes/the two kingdoms: Please reading these articles, hold fast only to what is good, 1 Thess. 5:21 by testing everything yourself, separating the flesh from the bones..These are articles I used in this document to come to a deeper knowledge and understanding about the two kingdoms…

Read Hosea 4:17 and Isaiah 49:6 to understand how the house of Israel became gentiles in the eyes of the Most High, they are the lost sheeps of the house of Israel. Also a portion of the house of Judah are cut off: read the parable Luke 15:11-32, Matt. 18:11-14, 2 Peter 3:9. The most of the ten tribes of the house of Israel did not return after they were scattered(Matt.15:24, Mark 7:24-30, John 4:1-42). They are still separate from Judah. The restoration of the two houses, becoming one again and being united will only happen through The Living Word. This has not yet been fulfilled.

Remember what the Most High said to the house of Israel in Hosea 1:9, Jeremiah 15:17, Matt. 9:10-13…

What about the other nations living among the nation of Israel? The foreigner/strangers:

Exodus 12:37 Then the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides children. 38 A mixed multitude went up with them also, and flocks and herds—a great deal of livestock.

The foreigners/strangers among Israel: Ex. 12:43-49, Gen. 17:10-27, Ex. 23:9, Numbers 15:26, Lev. 17:13-15, 22:17-18, Deut. 1:16, 23:7-8, Isaiah 56:1-8, Ezekiel 47:21-23. Hopefully you can see and understand that the foreigners/strangers among the children of Israel can also keep the laws of The Most High and joined the Israelites as one. There are more verses about foreigners/strangers, just read through the entire Word to find them…

***Below the description of the history of our forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the promises the Most High made with them and their seeds(descendants) after them…I wrote this one and a half year ago I think… Of course I have received a lot of eye-openers after this time***(the most of what I have described is also described above)

History of the forefathers

You can read the genealogy of Abram and also of Shem, his forefather in Genesis 11 from verse 14: Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nachor, Terach (Abram’s father). Abram had two brothers: Nachor and Haran (the father of Lot), verse 26. Abram was born in the land Ur of the Chaldeans, this was his native land. Abram and his brother Haran took wives, the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai and the name of Haran’s wife was Milcah. Milcah was the daughter of Haran and therefore Milcah was a niece of Abram. Sarai his wife was barren(unable to conceive) and had no child.

The father of Abram, Terah took his son Abram and his daughter in law Sarai, and his grandson Lot, son of Haran, and they went out of Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan and came to Haran and dwelt there.

You can read about Abram’s calling in Genesis 12 verse 1. The Most High called Abram and said to him: “Go yourself out of your land, from your relatives and from your father’s house, to a land which I show you.

The Most High promised Abram in Genesis 12: 2-4 (Acts 7:2-53, Hebrews 11:8-11) that He would make out of Abram a great nation. He blessed Abram and promised to make his name great and that Abram shall be a blessing (Gen. 18:18, Gen.18:18. Gen. 26:4-5, Gen. 28:14-15, Galatians 3:8-9)! And I shall bless those who bless you (Gen. 27:29), and curse him who curses you. And in you all the clans of the earth shall be blessed.”

Abram obeyed and he left Haran, as The Most High had commanded him, and Lot went with him (Abram was 75 years old when he went out of Haran). Abram crossed over (Gen.14:13) and also his wife Sarai and Lot his brother’s son went out with him and all their possessions that they had gathered.

The Most High made several promises unto Abraham and his seed/descendants after him and in their generations for an everlasting covenant to be…(Gen. 17:7-8). Let us read the verses; “7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their

generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. 8 Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”

Gen. 14, the verses 14:18-24 Abram knew who he was serving and he gave a tenth of all that he had to the Melchizedek priest (Hebrews 7:1-10), the king of Salem. Melchizedek brought out bread and wine to Abram and he was a priest of the ‘Most High God’.

Was Melchizedek not The Most High Himself? Melchizedek blessed Abram and said, “Blessed be Abram of The Most High, Possessor of the heavens and earth.”And blessed be The Most High who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”

The promises once again:

Gen. 15, the verses 5:7-8. Abram asked The Most High for a sign, verses 8-12. Verses 13-14 And He said to Abram, “Know for certain that your seed are to be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them, and they shall afflict them four hundred years . “But the nation (Egypt, Exodus chapters 7 till 14) whom they serve I am going to judge, and afterward let them come out with great possessions. Remember Abram fell in a deep sleep, when The Most High spoke this words to him. Could it be that the Most High spoke to Abram in a vision? Genesis 15:17: The Most High Himself went as a burning torch between those pieces.

The first covenant:

Genesis 15:18:21; On the same day The Most High made a covenant with Abram, saying, “I have given this land to your seed, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates River: the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaim, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites.

Sarai and Hagar, Gen. 16:1-4 ”Sarai, couldn’t conceive and said to Abram to go into her female servant. She said, “It might be that I am built up by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. And Sarai, took Hagar her female servant, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife, after Abram had dwelt ten years (at the age of 85) in the land of Kanaan. And Abram went into Hagar and she conceived. Therefore Sarai became despised in the eyes of Hagar. She bore Abram a son and named him Ishmael (Genesis 16:15-16). You can read about the character of Ishmael and his descendants in Genesis 16:12. The Most High has also blessed him and made him fruitful and greatly: Gen. 17:20. The Most High promised Hagar that He would multiply the seed of Ishmael exceedingly and that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

Second covenant:

Gen. 17:1-16: Abram was 99 years old when the Most High appeared and said to him: “I am the Existing One’ walk before Me and be perfect. “And I give My covenant between Me and you, and shall greatly increase you.

” And Abram, fell on his face, and God spoke with him, saying, “As for Me, look, My covenant is with you, and you shall become a father of many nations. Verse 5; The Most High said to Abram, “No longer is your name called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, because I shall make you a

father of many nations. “And I shall make you exceedingly fruitful, and make nations of you, and sovereigns shall come from you. “And I shall establish My covenant between Me and you and your seeds after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your seed after you. “And I shall give to you and your seed after you the land of your sojourning, all the land of Kanaan, as an everlasting possession. And I shall be their God.

” And God said to Abraham, “As for you, guard My covenant, you and your seed after you throughout their generations. “This is My covenant which you guard between Me and you, and your seed after you: Every male child among you is to be circumcised. “And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall become a sign of the covenant between Me and you. “And a son of eight days is circumcised by you, every male in your generations, he who is born in your house or bought with silver from any foreigner who is not of your seed. “He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with silver, has to be circumcised. So shall My covenant be in your flesh, for an everlasting covenant. “And an uncircumcised male child who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, his life shall be cut off from his people, he has broken My covenant(blood, Exodus 4:24-26).” Verse 15-16 God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah is her name. “And I shall bless her and also give you a son by her. And I shall bless her, and she shall become nations, sovereigns of peoples are to be come from her.” Verses 17-19; And Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Is a child born to a man who is a hundred years old, to bear a child? “And Abraham said to God, “Oh, let Ishmael live before You!”And God said, “No, Sarai your wife is truly bearing a son to you, and you shall call his name Isaac. And I shall establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. Verse 21; “But My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah is to bear to you at this appointed time next year.

Verse 26; Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised that same day. And all the men of his house, born in the house or bought with silver from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

The Children of Israel

We know that the two olives trees are the house of Judah and the house of Israel. The Word speaks of the green olive tree, that is the house Israel and the house Judah, the branches; Jer. 11:15-17, Hosea 14:2-9.

How can a believer be grafted in? Who is the true vine? Who are the branches? John 15:1-27, The Living Word is the Root of the olive tree, we, the believers are the branches; Rom. 11:11-36, Rom. 11:1-10.

Can the children of Israel turn back to The Most High? Rom. 9:1-33, 10:1:21. Some will think what Israel has to do with all of this? I am talking about Israel and the multitude of nations described in the Scriptures. The most people and believers think that the Jews who are living in the land of Israel today are the Hebrew Israelites. Please, let us carefully read and study the Scriptures to come to a more deeper knowledge and understanding of The Most High and His Word! The tribe of Judah is not the whole twelve tribes of Israel, Judah is just one of the tribes of the twelve tribes of Israel!

Jacob had 12 sons and out of them the 12 were born. Jacob name changed into Israel by The Most High! Therefore all of tribe of Judah are Israelites but not all Israelites are of the tribe of Judah. The

covenant with The Most High is still with Israel; Rom. 9:6-18, Ex. 4:22-23. It is all about The Most High His people, The Most High called Himself the God of the Hebrews, Gen. 14:13, Ex. 3:18, 5:3-7, Philippians 3:5-6. The descendants from the seed/bloodline of Abraham going through Isaac going through Jacob are Hebrews till this day… That is why The Most High made Himself known to Pharaoh as the God of the Hebrews!

The true Word of The Most High has been changed several of times, by adding or taking away of words, that is why the seekers of truth those He have called have to dig very deep. Praise The Most High, that He gave us the Spirit of Truth. She is the One who will guide us into all truth! His Truth is His Truth! His Truth will set you truly free!!! John 8:31, 36. His Truth is that His yoke is easy and His burden is light!!! Matt. 11:28-30

The Living Word is the Lam that was slained from the foundation of the world; Rev. 13:8, the Perfect Plan of The Most High, that is why The Living Word came, as is described in John 3:16-21. He is the One who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Greatness in the heavens. He is the One who serving in the set-apart place and the true Tent, which The Most High set up, and not man! Read the entire book of Hebrews to know and understand why The Living Word is a High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek; Hebr. 5:1-10!

The Most High promised Abraham and Sarai (who name also changed) a son; Gen. 18:1-15(Gen. 15:4-6). The Most High also revealed His plans to Abraham (Genesis 18:17-19) because The Most High trusted Abraham and had chosen him to give His laws to him and his seed after him.

The Most High tested Abraham: Gen. 22:1-19. This chapter is a type and shadow of the The Living Word, leading to be impaled; John 19:16-37. Pray that you might see, hear and understand. Genesis 22:16. The Most High said to Abraham, "By Myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son....Acts 3:25.

The Most High also spoke to our forefather Isaac; Gen. 26:2-6, 23-24 and to our forefather Jacob; Jacob he dreamt and saw a ladder set up on the earth, read... The Most High spoke to Jacob from above: Gen. 28:12-22. The children of Jacob: Gen. 29:31-35 - 30:1-24, Gen. 35:22-26.

A Man wrestled with Jacob until the breaking of day, Gen. 32:1-32. Here we see, we have to fight to overcome, and if you overcome we will change and walk differently, blamelessly with the Father. Genesis 32 verse 27-28: Jacob’s name was no longer Jacob but Israel; Gen. 33:20: Here Israel (whose name was Jacob before that time) declares that “Elelohe-Israel, The God of Israel.”

Gen. 35:9-15 The Most High appeared again to Jacob, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him. And The Most High said to him, "Your name is Jacob, your name is no longer called Jacob, but Israel is your name." So He called his name Israel. And The Most High said to him, "I am God Almighty, El-Shaddai!(verse 11) Be fruitful and increase, a nation and a company of nations shall be from you, and sovereigns come from your body. And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you. Israel is a nation of nations and sovereigns, verse 11, a multitude of nations!

Israel went to Egypt, Gen. 46:1-47 (70 of the house of Jacob went to Egypt). The blessings of Israel for the sons of Joseph are important, Gen. 48:1-22. Jacob called his sons and said, "Gather together,

so that I declare to you what is to befall you in the last days: "Gather together and hear, you sons of Jacob, and listen to Israel your father. In Gen. 49:22-26 you can read about the blessings he gave to Joseph and to Judah in Genesis 49:8-12, (Ps 108:9, 1 Chron. 5:2).

Moses was the prophet who would freed the children of Israel from their bondage. From slavery and who led them out of Egypt, Ex. 2:1-10. Moses was called by the Most High and made Himself known to Moses, saying He is, " Ahayah Ashar Ahayah", (Ex.3:10-15) hereby giving Moses His name; Ex. 2:23-25, Ex. 3:1-21, Ex. 4:1-31.

The Living Word, came from the line of the tribe of Judah, who is one of the 12 tribes of Israel. The Living Word is of the offspring of King David, II Sam. 7:12-29, 1 Chron. 17:16-27, Psalms 89, Matt. 1:5-6, Acts 2:25-36. You can read about David bloodline in Ruth 4:18-22, Ruth 4:11-17. The Living Word is also a Prophet; Deut. 18-15:22, 'I shall raise up for them a Prophet, like you (Moses) out of the midst of their brothers. And I shall put My Words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him; Acts 3:22-26, Acts 7:37(1-53). The lineage of the Living Word you can read in Matt. 1:1-17(16), Luke 3:23-38. He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah; Rev. 5:5, the Root of David...

The Living Word came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel, already described above; Matt. 10:5-8, Matt. 15:24. He came for sinners; Matt. 9:13, Hosea 6:6, Luke 15:1-10, Matt. 18:12-14, Luke 5:27-32, because we are all sinners; Romans 3:9-20... The Living Word is the good Shepherd as we know already, John 10:1-21, and also others sheep He has, verse 16, "And other sheep I have which are not of this flod - I have to bring them as well, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock, one shepherd"; John 11:52, Isaiah 56:8, Eph. 2:13-22, Eze. 37:15-28!

Israel as warning for us;

Romans 11: “ I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness? 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?”

For those who believe in the God of the Bible, in the God of the forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of the children of Israel, can be grafted into the olive tree of Israel, which is the multitude of nations, Gen. 35-10-13. If you believe in His Word and in The Living Word (John 1:12-13 - 14:6) you will keep all of the commandments, statutes and ordinances of The Most High, 1 John 5:1-12.

Let us fear and humble ourselves and obey to that what is written: Deut. 4:2, we must not add to the Word which He commands us, nor take away from it, so as to guard the commands of The Most High our God.

Deut. 12:32, "All the words I am commanding you, guard to do it - do not add to it nor take away from it. Rev. 22:18-20, For I witness to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to them, The Most High shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, The Most High shall take away his part from the Book of Life, and out of the set-apart city, which are written in the Book. He that bears witness of these matters says, "Yes, I am coming speedily." Amen! The favor of our Master The Living Word be with the set apart ones.

PS test everything yourselves do not take that what I have documented to be truth, we all have our own personal responsibility unto The Most High…

Let us asked for the old paths, where the good way is and let us walk therein so that we may find

rest for our souls… Jeremiah 6:16, “16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask

for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But

they said, We will not walk therein.”
