I was once indicated by a person that he 'doesn't believe in hebrew'. Of course the world is led to believe that the Creator should change for you, not you change for Him. People just don't believe in Hebrew...
col 1:25-26
"Of this church I was made a minister according to the
stewardship from Alahim bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully
carry out the preaching of the word of Alahim, 26 that is, the mystery which
has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested
to His saints"
So Mashiach is a mystery, revealed to those who are in the
Word. The mystery is the Messiah and the belief in His Name is the answer to
it.
This mystery is further explained in col 3 and col 4 and
ephesians 3 and 4. A mystery indicates there is searching involved in finding
the truth and the verse states only His saints will find it.
Jeremiah 6
16Thus saith
Yahuah, 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 ancient paths, the old ways, are the roads that we must
take. This means understanding what Jeremiah was talking about in his era, not
in our own. Once again this requires going to Alahim, not Him coming to you. 1
John 2 also discusses walking in the old ways.
Psalms 9:10
And they that know thy name
will put their trust in thee: for thou, Yahuah, hast not forsaken them that
seek thee.
Again seeking Him is key, knowing His Name and putting trust
in His Word. But what does that mean, to trust His Word? It means keeping His
commandments. The text also implies that some will know His Name and others
wont.
Ecc 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear Alahim, and keep his commandments: for
this is the whole duty of man
Pretty simple and contrary to what people believe to be the
meaning of life. Solomon simply states here that the meaning of life is to fear
Yahuah and keep His commandments. Of course the third commandment is to not
take His Name in vain, where vain is the word shua, which means nothingness,
desolation, non-use.
Matt 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom
of Alahim, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be
added unto you.
Seeking the kingdom is of first importance. What are we
going to be doing in our fathers kingdom but following His law and calling His
Name. If we do neither now what right do we have in the kingdom? This is what
we should worry about. Matt 22 is a parable discussing the Kingdom of
Alahim and the requirements thereof. The word righteousness is thrown around
for so many things, so how does the bible define righteousness?
Deutoronomy 6:25
25 And it
shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before
Yahuah Alahinu, as he hath commanded us.
THIS is the definition of righteousness, that we keep His
commandments, as He commanded us. The word righteousness is Zadak in Hebrew,
which directly translates to justice, lawful, right ruling etc and is also in
the word Melchizadak (king of righteousness) which is the order under which the
Messiah Yahusha is a priest. But why should we call on His Name in Hebrew?
Acts 26:14-15
14And when we were all fallen to the
earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul,
Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the
pricks. 15And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he
said, I am Yahusha whom thou persecutest
Paul indicates directly that the Messiah told him His
Name in Hebrew, not greek, not latin, not English. And since there is only
one Name (acts 4:12),
to be obedient unto righteousness (romans 6:16) is to call on this Name as it
was then, not as it is now. But the bible is imfallible and all scripture is
made for reproof and wisdom? How could the bible have mistakes or even
deceptions?
Jeremiah 8:8-9
8How do ye say, We are wise, and
the law of Yahuah is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it;
the pen of the scribes is in vain. 9The wise men are ashamed, they are
dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of Yahuah; and what wisdom is
in them?
This states that the pen of the scribes is in vain having
rejected the word. Corrupting the word is an ancient practice and one must
'search diligently the scriptures' but in most cases since people don't believe
in Hebrew it will not make a difference the knowledge of the bible. Then it is
here we are left again with Paul:
Titus 3:9-11
9 But avoid foolish questions, and
genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are
unprofitable and vain. 10 A man
that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing that he that is such is
subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
It falls on us all at some point to make a decision, to
reject the world or to accept it. Rejecting that Hebrew understanding is
necessary is rejecting the Word. Accepting Jesus as is, is the basis being the
anti-messiah doctrine and is the 'lawless one' whom paul aslo speaks of:
2 Thessalonians 2:7-8
7For the mystery
of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until
he be taken out of the way. 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed,
whom Yahuah shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy
with the brightness of his coming:
There is a mystery for righteous and a mystery for the
unrighteous, which is that of iniquity/lawlessness. Those who don't have the
law or His Name, have nothing in Mashiach as these are the requirements for the
kingdom (rev 22 12)
2 Thessalonians 2:13-15
13But we are
bound to give thanks always to Alahim for you, brethren beloved of Yahuah,
because Alahim hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through
sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14Whereunto he called you by our gospel,
to the obtaining of the glory of our Adoni Yahusha Ha Mashiach. 15Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and
hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
