Torah
Parashah - Vayishlach (He Sent)
B’re’shiyt
32:4 - 36:43
*********
Today
we are not doing the Torah Parashah - I hope you spend part of your Shabbat
reading it if you have not already.
We are going to talk about covenants.
I
want to understand the Melchizedek and this is how we start to do that.
But
before we dive in... i want to say
something about that desire in us when YHWH calls / draws us...
Someone
sent me an article about Jewish people...
who were longing to be closer to YHWH.
And
it hit me - that this is also going on in christian churches... people ware
longing for MORE of YHWH.
Only
neither one of these people groups know what exactly they are starving for...
but we know, because we have been there....
They,
like ourselves are longing for YHWH’s
plan - Y’shua the
Living Torah and understanding HIM... the Melchizedek - the King and Righteous
Priest.
***********************************************
So
let’s start in
B’re’shiyt (Gen) 12:1-3 p 16
This
is the Everlasting Oath - a Promise - made by YHWH to Avraham and the people
that come after him.
Notice
that this oath / promise is not in any way dependent on a person.
It
is just what YHWH wants to do and will do for His people.
B’re’shiyt (Gen) 15: 1-21 p 18
This
is the Melchizedek Covenant of Promise
-
Made with Avraham and his descendants, at Avraham’s
request.
-The
Smoking Furnace and the Burning Lamp walked between the pieces of the animals.
-
We understand the Smoking Furnace is YHWH, and the Burning Lamp is Y’shua
the Light of the World.
- This
is where Y’shua
steps in and says “I will
die instead of the people, if the people
break the covenant.”
*
So
the Oath /Promise of B’re’shiyt
12 - is unconditional.
But
then Avraham wants a guarantee... “How
will i know?”....
B’re’shiyt 15:8
p 18
So
Avraham gets his guarantee... in B’re’shiyt
15 ...
...
YHWH signs for it...
It
is a death position.
If
the covenant is broken... Y’shua
will die instead of the people who break it.
The
fulfillment of the B’re’shiyt
15 Book of Covenant /Promise comes 430 years later
in
Sh’mot 19 when the Book of the Covenant
is ratified and 40 days later ... then broken...
and
if you break it B’re’shiyt
15 Book of Covenant/ Promise....
- guess
what - you can only go back to B’re’shiyt
15 Covenant if somebody dies...
- and
that Somebody is the Burning Lamp - the Light of the World - Y’shua
HaMashiach.
And
once the death position has been paid - we can then talk about B’re’shiyt
12 - the OATH of Promise.
Avraham
wanted proof of what YHWH had promised him ... and it came with a death
position.
Are
you starting to see that we can’t
go back to B’re’shiyt
12 Oath/ promise
or
even B’re’shiyt
15 Book of Covenant of Promise - unless the death
position
of B’re’shiyt
15 is dealt with????
Y'shua
is the ONLY one that could get us back to B’re’shiyt
15 and 12!!
{This
is a key understanding - because there really is only ONE WAY.}
Judaism
isn’t going to teach you this - they hate
Y’shua.
Messianics
aren’t going
to teach you this because they want to keep Levitical authority and hierarchy.
They
don’t want you to realize that you are a
Kingdom of Priests..
...and
that there is no difference between male or female,
slave nor free,
Jew
or Gentile....
But
we are all one in Messiah...
...and
you have apostolic authority... POWER.
This
isn’t a male dominated religion
this
isn’t a blood - genealogical religion
We
are all one - IF you know Y’shua...
you’re in HIS blood and you are back at B’re’shiyt
(Gen) 12
...
and you can move in Avrahamic authority!!!
Matthew
Nolan says - this is the most important message of our time!
If
you want to know how to survive these days that we are living in...
If
you want to know how you are going to survive and make it and live an abundant
life...
IT
IS ESSENTIAL ... THAT YOU UNDERSTAND....
that
there are 2 priesthoods... and the only way you get back to the order of the
king and righteous priest - hood... is through Y’shua!!
As
deception comes more and more in our world...
the
world where hasatan is the prince of...
this
message will literally give you the discernment that you need!!
It
is only through Y’shua and
the Power that HE gives... that we are
going to make it... walking in the order of Melchizedek...
not
following after a Levitical priesthood - because Y’shua
came and
re-instituted
the Melchizedek... and it is ONLY His
blood that matters!!
~~~~~~~~
I
want to show you something.... this is
very important...
I
want to show you what Dr Perry calls “half
verses”.
Half
verses are where the popular religion of this nation has repeatedly used half
the verse...
....but
wow... have we got to read the other half!!
Hoshea 6:6
“For I desired rachamim (mercy), not
sacrifice;”
- The
other half....
“and the da’at
(knowledge) of Elohim more than burnt offerings.”
Titus 1:14
“Not giving heed to certain Yahudim
fables”
-The
other half...
“and commandments of men, who hate the
emet (truth) and turn others from the emet.”
Mattityahu 19:17 p 694
“And He said to him, ‘Why
do you call Me tov? There is none tov
but one, that is YHWH,
-The
other half...
“but if you will enter into chayim
(life), keep the Torah commandments.”
Psalm 111:10 p 537
“The fear of YHWH is the beginning of
chochmah (wisdom);
-The
other half...
“a tov binah (understanding) have all those that do His
mitzvoth (commands); His hallel
(praise), endures le-olam-va-ed (forever
or for eternity - is what our RSTNE bibles say... but it is also defined
as... going on past where you can see
and ending point.”)
Ephesians 2:8 ... p
883
“For by unmerited favor are you saved
through emunah (trust/faith); and not of yourselves; it is the gift of YHWH.”
but
read on ... Ephesians 2:9-12
p 884
“Not
by our mitzvoth, lest any man should boast.
10
For we are His masterpiece, recreated in the Moshiach Y’shua
to tov mitzvoth, which YHWH has ordained before that we should perform as our halacha
11
Therefore remember, that you being in times past gentiles in the flesh, who are
called The Uncircumcision by those called the Brit’Milah
in the flesh made by hands.
12
That at that time you were without Moshiach, being excluded, aliens from the Commonwealth
of Yisra’el as
excluded aliens from he common wealth of Yisraael, ad gerim from the
commandments of promise, having no
tikvah, and without YHWH in the omlam hazeh.”
Do
you see what the Word says in these verses??!!!
WE
have to read the whole Book.
~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~
and
then 430 years pass
~
The Book of the Covenant of Promise is
B’re’shiyt 1:1 - Sh’mot (Exodus 24:10)
Go
to
Sh’mot (Exodus) 19-24 p 65
The Sealing of the Covenant / Book of Promise (“the answer”) This is a marriage covenant
Sh’mot
(Exodus) 19-24 p 62
The Promise is enacted.
Ratified by Avraham’s
descendants at Mt Sinai.
Isra’el called
to be a nation OF priests under The Melech Tzedek.
The Book of the Covenant is place inside the Ark of the
Covenant.
and 40 days go by...
Moshe (Moses) is up on Mt Sinai...
and
40 days after the ratifying of the covenant - of B’re’shiyt
15... our fathers broke the covenant!
Sh’mot (Exodus) 30 - Golden Calf Incident page 72
This is a breaking of the Sealing of the Covenant of promise, (“the
answer”) the
marriage covenant - by Isra’el.
Therefore the Covenant of Promise is also broken.
So
Isra’el is in
the wilderness how many years?
A
year for every day between the ratifying and the breaking.
How
many days is Y’shua - the One who ratifies the New Covenant - in
the wilderness?
40
To
see that He passes the test that Isra’el
failed.
And
then again - when Y’shua
resurrects, he takes his blood to the Shamayim
and returns and spends 40 days on earth before he ascends...
40
days there is a ratified Book of the Covenant of Promise - and then it is
broken.
THE
BOOK OF INSTRUCTION / LAW
D’varim (Deuteronomy) 31:26 Covenant / Book of Instruction
(LAW)
Page
163
This is an added, imposed, inferior, prescriptive and temporary
Book of Instruction that takes over,
because Isra’el broke
the Covenant of Promise.
This was set on an outside pocket of the Ark of the Covenant as
a witness against them.
Isra’el is now
a nation WITH priests.
The Levitical law (instruction) and the Levitical Priesthood is
established instead of the
Melchizedek Covenant of Promise.
YHWH
makes moves to bring His Plan back to the original idea...
Yermeyahu (Jeremiah) 31:31
p 374 - New Covenant Promised
This will be superior to the Book or Covenant of the
Instruction (Law).
Gift of the “new
heart” where HE
will write His Covenant.
He will move us and empower us to keep the Covenant, commands and decrees.
Lamb of YHWH - Y’shua - dies
= death position enacted for the breaking of the Promise Covenant of B’re’shiyt
15.
Y’shua is
established as the Cohen HaGadol (high priest) and King in the order of Melchizedek.
He
re-establishes the Melchizedek Priesthood and the Melchizedek Covenant - thus setting aside the temporary Levitical law.
A change in order of priests means a change in instruction / “Law”.
Entrance into the new covenant is circumcision of the heart.
Melchizedek Priesthood is operational again...
under Y’shua, the
High Priest, blessing the world with His light and
the invitation for all to discover the “only
way”.
This priesthood keeps the Melchizedek Covenant, its issues and
Moedim (appointed times).
A future Melchizedek Appointed Time -
Marriage of the Lamb to His bride Isra’el.
Yom
Teruah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~
2 Corinthians 3:11-18 p 866
“For
that which was not lasting was with tifereth (beauty, glory), how much more
that which remains is full of tifereth.
If the B’re’shiyt
15 Covenant was glorious - was broken... what remains is B’re’shity
12 - is o much more glorious... b/c no man is involved.
Once the B’re’shiyt
15 death position is paid... the book of the LAW is abolished because we have
no need for it.. because we can go back under the full Melchizedek Book of the
Covenant of promise.
Ivrim (Hebrews) 9
p 819
The book of the Covenant was not imposed - we
(Isra’el) agreed to it.
But the Book of Instruction / Law was
imposed...
At Mt Sinai - at the golden calf fiasco...
where they were worshiping YHWH - but doing it
His way...
YHWH was going to either slaughter everyone
and start over with the Melchizedek he had left (Moshe)... or he was going to
impose Instructions/ Law.
It is like YHWH was saying... my wrath can be
restrained...but it will take blood sacrifice to do it.
So I will institute some animal sacrifices
which will hold off My wrath until this covenant is paid in full.
Because it is about BLOOD... and you need to
pay ME some interest so we are going to institute animal sacrifices here... so
I don’t just wipe you
all out.
And then later - during the Levitical
Priesthood - Imposed Book of Law- we see YHWH’s
prophets crying out because the people couldn’t
keep the Book of Law either.
It held off his wrath for a time...
but then HE poured out his wrath on Y’shua
- the binah - the plan for restoration - the Son.
It was like YHWH said... there is going to be
so much blood ... it is going to be coming out his pores, he is going to be
forsaken and afflicted and all MY wrath is going to be directed at Him.
It will be messy- just like the Levitical
Priesthood is messy - bloody...
and YHWH poured out His wrath on Y’shua...
and it was bloody...
He bled in 7 specific areas (another study).
And this sacrifice of Y’shua
- His dying because He has said back in B’re’shiyt
15 - I will stand in for Avraham and his children... if they break the
covenant...
His sacrifice allows us to get back to the
Melchizedek Covenant of Promise... that we have been strangers to for so many
years.
The Covenant YHWH made with the people can be
/was broken...
But Yah will not break the promise He made
with Himself
Galatians 3:19
p 877
“What purpose then
does the Torah (Book of the Law) serve?
It was added because of transgressions, until the Zera (seed) should
come to whom the promise was made; and heavenly malachim through the hands of a
Mediator ordained it.”
What purpose does the Book of the Law served?
It was added because of transgressions.
“Until the zerea / Seed
should come”...
“Until” =
impending CHANGE
B’re’shiyt
1 - Sh’mot 24:10...
is the Melchizedek Book /Covenant of Promise...
The Book of the Law was added - after the
covenant of Promise was ratified and sealed...
...so that means it is a DIFFERENT COVENANT...
...It was added b/c they broke the Covenant of
Promise... and the LAW was then imposed on them.
Ivrim (Hebrews) 9:10
p 819
“Which stood only
in food offerings and drink offerings, and different washings, and
flesh-related regulations, imposed on the
Kohanim until the time of reformation and restoration.”
2 Timothy 2:15
p 906
“Study to show
yourself approved before YHWH, a workman that needs not be ashamed, rightly
dividing the Word of emet (truth).”
WE have to learn to rightly divide Torah... to
understand
not just the Northern Kingdom Israel, and the
Southern Kingdom Judah....
but to understand Covenant - and divide it for
what it means.
We are not going to be hypocrites that we didn’t
even know we were being.... any more.
We are not going to say that we are keeping
Torah...
because the implication is that we are keeping
ALL of Torah.
“Well,” You
might say.... “We were keeping
all we knew and understood and “could” keep...”
but i am here to tell you ...
We can’t
say we keep Torah - except for the animal sacrifices... because that is NOT keeping torah - if you
are coming from an understanding of NOT recognizing the 2 orders of
Priesthoods....
If we don’t
do animal sacrifices... we aren’t
keeping Torah -
-
IF You believe that we are still under a
Levitical priesthood.
If Y’shua
is your Melchizedek Cohen HaGadol (High
Priest) then you are in the Book of the Covenant of Promise...
and you just LIVE /follow that Book...
BUT if Y’shua
is not your Melchizedek Cohen HaGadol --you are still in the Levitical
Priesthood and you should be doing the Levitical thing.
BUT if you are a follow of Mashiach... then
you can NOT be in the Levitical...
because HE is the Melchizedek Cohen HaGadol!
~*~*~*~
The end game is this... the heavenlies had to
purged by the blood of Y’shua b/c satan
defiled the heavenlies with sin...
he was the mashich kurev in Ezek 28
hasatan /Lucifer was a cherub and he was
anointed to bring others in sukkah of YHWH.
Hasatan/Lucifer was anointed,
BUT....
How many stones does the Messiah Y’shua
have in His breast plate?
= 12
Yechezkel (Ezekiel) 28:13
p 415....
hasatan has 9.
he is
missing a row of stones b/c Yah knew what would happen....
Cohen of Levi had 12 stones in their
breastplate
...
satan had 9
he was missing...
the things about the victory...
what is the message in the stones....
if we can discover the victory and the message
in the stones then maybe we can grasp that white stone of acquittal that Y’shua
has for us...
BUT we can only grasp that stone in the Melchizedek Covenant!!
The stones
each tribe had a stone and
all
were on satan ‘s breast plate
except for 3
stones that are missing...
Gad, Asher, and Issachar
so
hasatan doesn’t have the
promises of those tribes...
In B’re’shiyt (Genesis) 49 p 47 we can see
what they represent ...
Gad = 49:19 - overcomer
So -hasatan will never be an overcome and he
will not over come us!
Asher = 49:20 - yielded
royal dainties..
So - hasatan will never yield anything
royal =
== never anything Melchizedek - never from Covenant of the Melchizedek seed
of Y’shua...
Issachar = a strong
ass couching down between 2 burdens..
....Meaning satan will never bear anyone’s
burdens...
oh he
will promise he will -- but he will
never bear anyones burden..
When Yah formed satan in beginning of time..
he left out some of the stones...
Even before time he had limited hasatan’s
power
and so hasatan will never be an over comer
and
hasatan will never produce a Melchizedek royal seed
and hasatan will never bear anyone’s
burdens...
Y’shua
is the Melchizedek...he paid the death position... enabling us to come into a
new / renewed Melchizedek Covenant. :)
which is an agreed to covenant of Torah
with mitzvoth/commandments
...unlike Judaism and Messianic’s
- carnal commandments of LAW contained in ordinances that were imposed and
never agreed to
there is a difference
Judaism and the Messianic movement have got it
wrong.
clearly...and succinctly ....
there was no animal sacrifice on 14th of AVIV the
year Y’shua paid the
death position of B’re’shiyt
15.
Y’shua didn’t
die to give us forgiveness of our sins... not on the 14 of Aviv.
He did that....”before
the foundation of the world”...
~
The lamb that was slain...before the
foundation of the world...
died to forgive us of our sins...
His death on the 14 of Aviv overcame death and
the death penalty of B’re’shiyt
15 and the death penalty position.
Y’shua’s
death allows us to connect back into B’re’shiyt
15 Covenant of Promise...
So we get to choose....
Are we going to live following a Levitical
priesthood - imposed instruction /LAW
despite that Y’shua has restored
the Melchizedek Order of High Priests...
Or are we going to follow Y’shua
- the Melchizedek Cohen HaGadol...
and walk in the re-newed Covenant of
Melchizedek Covenant of Promise?
AMEIN.
