An Open Letter to all the Brethren in YAHshua Messiah
This
letter will be posted at our website at: http://www.shalomofyahweh.com/
Hebrews 8
(10) For
this is the
Covenant that I will make with the House of Israel
after those days, saith YAHWEH;
I will put My laws into their mind, and write them in their
hearts:
and I will be to them an Elohim, and
they
shall be
to Me a
people:
(11) And
they
shall not teach every
man his neighbour, and every
man his brother,
saying, Know YAHWEH:
for all
shall
know ME, from the least to the greatest. (12) For
I will be merciful to their unrighteousness,
and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
[Jer
31:31-34]
*Romans
5 (11) And
not only so,
but we also joy in YAHWEH
through our Sovereign
YAHshua
Messiah,
by Whom we
[the
Elect of YAHWEH] have now received the atonement
[covering].
When will the fulness of the
Gentiles be come in and the blindness of Israel be
lifted in order for
them to repent, receive the atonement
(covering)
and
have YAHWEH's laws written in their hearts and have their sins forgiven as promised under the
New Covenant?
Acts 2 (36)
Therefore let all
the House of Israel know assuredly, that YAHWEH hath
made that same YAHshua, Whom
ye
have crucified, both Sovereign
and Messiah.
(37) Now
when they
heard this, they
were pricked in their
heart, and said unto Peter
and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? (38) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of YAHshua Messiah for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
(39) For
the promise is unto you,
and to your children,
and to all
that are afar off, even
as many as YAHWEH
our Elohim
shall
call.
(40) And
with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from
this untoward generation.
(41) Then
they
that gladly received his
word were baptized:
and the same day there were added
unto
them about three thousand
souls.
Romans 11 (26)
And *so [in this way or manner] all Israel shall be saved:
as it is written, There shall come out of Sion
the Deliverer,
and shall turn away
wickedness from Jacob: (27) For this is MY Covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
I
Thessalonians 4 (14) For if we believe that YAHshua
died and rose again, even
so
them also
which sleep in YAHshua
will YAHWEH
bring with Him.
(15) For this we say unto
you by the word of YAHWEH,
that we
which are alive and
remain unto the coming
of the Sovereign
shall not precede them
which are asleep. (16) For
the Sovereign
Himself
shall descend from Heaven with a shout,
with the voice of
the archangel, and with
the Trump
of YAHWEH:
and the dead in Messiah shall rise first:
(17) Then
we
which are alive and
remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds, to meet the Sovereign in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Sovereign.
Also, when the
seventh trumpet of the seventh seal of Revelation
11:15 is blown, the Messiah will
come.
Revelation 11
(15) And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices
in Heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Elohim, and of HIS
Messiah;
and He shall reign for ever and ever.
Leviticus 16
(10)
But the goat,
on which the lot fell to be the
*Scapegoat,
shall be presented alive before YAHWEH,
to make an atonement [covering] with him, and to let him go for a Scapegoat
['aza'zel:H5799
goat of departure] into the
wilderness…. (20) And when he hath made an end of reconciling [H3722 kaphar-covering] the holy place,
and the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat: (21)
And Aaron shall lay both
his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess
over him all the
iniquities of the Children of Israel,
and all their transgressions in all their sins,
putting them upon the head of the goat, and
shall send him away by
the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: (22) And the goat ['aza'zel:H5799 goat of departure]
shall bear upon him all their iniquities
unto
a land not inhabited:
and he shall let go the
goat
in the
wilderness.
*H5799 'aza'zel, az-aw-zale';
from 1H5795
& 2H235;
goat of
departure; the
scapegoat:--scapegoat.
STRONGS
1H5795.
'ez, aze; from H5810; a she-goat
(as strong), but masc. in plur. (which also is used elliptic. for goats'
hair):--(she) goat,
kid. STRONGS
2H235.
'azal, aw-zal'; a prim. root; to go away;
hence to disappear:--fail, gad about, go to and fro
[but in Ezek. 27:19 the word is rendered by many "from Uzal," by
others "yarn"], be gone (spent). STRONGS
According
to Strongs Exhaustive Concordance of the
Bible, the sign
":--" simply means that the words
following it are other
words that the translators of the KJV used to translate the referred to word in
other places. In the last meaning above, KJV correctly translated the word number H235
as to
go
away;
hence to
disappear.
However, they translate that word number in
other places in the scriptures as fail, gad about, go to and fro which,
in my opinion, has nothing to do with what is being related in Leviticus 16. Leviticus 16 is simply relating that the scapegoat,
(which according to Strongs is a she goat that departs,
goes away, or disappears)
bears the iniquities of the Children of Israel,
and all their transgressions in all their sins
that have been confessed
upon its head.
In
verse 10, it is stated that the Scapegoat
shall be
presented
alive
before
YAHWEH,
to make an atonement (covering) with him. How, when, or where
was or will that blood be shed for that atonement?
As
you think upon that please keep in mind that it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Leviticus
17 (11)
For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an
atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
In
verse 21&22 quoted above, the Scapegoat
(Goat of Departure) had Israel's iniquities confessed over him
and he
was to bear upon him all their iniquities
unto a land
not inhabited.
In
the scriptures, who is prophesied and qualified
to be made an atonement with and bear all the iniquities of the Children of Israel,
and all their transgressions in all their sins upon himself?
The
prophet Isaiah prophesied
about who would
bear upon himself all our iniquities.
Isaiah
53 (10) Yet
it pleased YAHWEH
to bruise
Him; HE hath put Him
to grief: when THOU
shalt make His soul [life] an
offering for sin, HE shall see HIS
seed, HE shall prolong His days,
and the pleasure of
YAHWEH
shall prosper in His
hand. (11)
HE shall
see of the travail of
His soul, and shall be satisfied: by His knowledge shall MY righteous servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.
(12) Therefore
will I divide Him a portion with
the great, and He
shall divide the spoil
with the strong; because He hath poured out His soul unto death: and He was numbered with the transgressors; and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the
transgressors
The
Apostle John confirmed that it was YAHshua
Messiah.
I
Peter 2 (21) For
even hereunto were ye called: because Messiah also
suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps: (22) Who did
no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth: (23) Who,
when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He
suffered, He
threatened not; but committed Himself
to Him that judgeth righteously: (24)
Who His Own Self bare our sins
in His Own body on the tree,
that we, being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness: by whose
stripes ye were healed [Isa. 53:5-6].
The Goat chosen for YAHWEH's sacrifice represented YAHshua Messiah for He became the sin offering.
The sprinkling of
the blood from the sin offering by those priests in the earthly tabernacle
portrayed YAHshua Messiah's ongoing cleansing,
intercessory, and redemptive work as our High Priest and
our
Advocate with the FATHER.
I
John 2 (I) My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the FATHER, YAHshua Messiah the Righteous:
(2) And
He is the *propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
*G2434.
hilasmos, hil-as-mos'; atonement,
i.e. (concretely.) an expiator:--propitiation.
YAHshua Messiah was the only one qualified or prophesied to bear the sins of all and to be the sin offering for Israel and those grafted in with them for
it was and is His blood that maketh an atonement once for all!
(The victim of a sin offering had to be blemish free only YAHshua could qualify.)
Hebrews
10 (8) Above
when He
said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin THOU wouldest not,
neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; (9) Then
said He,
Lo, I come to do THY will, O Elohim. HE taketh away the first, that HE may establish the second. (10) By
the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of YAHshua
Messiah once for all.
(11) And
every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same
sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
(12) But
this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on
the right hand of YAHWEH;
(13) From
henceforth expecting till His
enemies be made His
footstool. (14)
For by one offering He hath perfected for ever
them that are *sanctified. (15) Whereof the Holy Spirit also is a witness to us: for after that HE
had said before, (16)
This is the Covenant
that I will make with them after those days, saith YAHWEH, I
will put MY laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
(17) And
their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. [Jer 31:31-34]
*G37. hagiazo, hag-ee-ad'-zo;
from G40; to make holy, i.e. (cer.) purify or consecrate; (mentally) to venerate:--hallow,
be holy,
sanctify.
Has
all Israel been sanctified, hallowed,
consecrated
made holy
and put under the New
Covenant with
YAHWEH's
laws written in their
hearts and had all sins and iniquities
and remembered no more?
The penalty was paid by YAHshua
Messiah,
the sin offering, but
there has to be repentance before receiving
atonement
(covering)
sanctification,
rustication,
hallowing,
cleansing,
washing,
consecrating,
and holiness.
After YAHshua Messiah
completes doing all those
things Salvation
and Eternal Life
will follow.
