Who is the Messiah? What is the order? Who is the bride? We’re not asking you to believe it. It is what it is. If you don’t like it, stroll on. If you have something to settle with us, inbox us and we can call or meet face to face, for there are too many social gangsters out here. Therefore, study and be approved. One of the themes that have always been difficult for those who believe in the Messiah of Israel being the person of Yahushua is how to address the challenges that come from Orthodox Rabbis in Judaism who say He is not the Messiah. When I get asked the question “Is Yahushua the Messiah I ask Who wants to know?” The Orthodox Rabbis believe that when the Messiah turns up there will be world peace and that the land of Israel will be handed to them and the Messiah will deal with all their problems and fix them since this did not happen with Yahushua at least in His first appearance came therefore they have rejected the Messiahship of Yahushua at least for themselves for now. The also state that there will be universal knowledge of the God of Israel at that time and no longer will people fight wars and the world will be in peace. First of all the Orthodox Jews today are not the people of Y’sra’el from ancient times so that throws a shovel in their face. They are not the people we even need to reach but that is beside the point for now since they at least claim to be obeying the Torah. Note all ancient Y’sra’elites were people of colour. Let us examine these statements in light of scripture. Here are some challenging questions to reconsider; 1. Why is it felt necessary that the Yahudim need to accept Yahushua at the first coming which clearly did not bring world peace? 2. What did the ancient Rabbis and present Rabbis think of this prophecy? 3. Why should the Yahudim leave Torah and become let’s us assume Christians which is a religion that has no respect for the law of God the Torah given to Moses? 2 4. The Messiah came for the lost sheep. Can we say the Yahudim who obeyed the Torah were those lost sheep? 5. Does the Tanach back up a second return of Messiah? The confusion comes when people do not realise that the Messiah was meant to be veiled or hidden for the Yahudim upon his first coming this shall be demonstrated in this article completely and accurately. The bible has themes or patterns and one theme that we find that sticks in our memory from the book of Genesis is the theme of Yosef who became number two or prime-minister of Egypt a very important position in the scheme of things and while the family of Yosef living in Israel ran short of food because of a famine sent by YHWH the severity of the famine caused them to seek food from Egypt. Note YHWH already had a person there to take care of the bad times. This was Yosef whose ethnicity was just like an Egyptian black man. When his brothers went searching for food to Egypt and spoke to Yosef they did not recognise him at all but he recognised them and gave them food, He was a Black Hebrew notice and not Caucasian. In this is a very important statement that many do not consider today and just gloss over it and think they must take the Messiah back to the Yahudim in Israel and convert them who are actually mostly Khazarian converts. Nothing could be further from the truth and we shall examine this closely today. Christians and the Netzarim brethren obviously are not learning the lessons taught here in the very first book of Genesis about thematic analysis. First Yosef became a type of Messiah for the Y’sra’elites and was put in an important place of authority and second there was a period of time before which he could not reveal himself and it is this period of time that we are in today thematically speaking. While the Messiah cannot reveal himself to his brothers the Yahudim but they nevertheless are provided sustenance from YHWH. Yosef was thirty years old when he was made chief overseer. This by the way is the starting age for a priest of the most High hence why it is assumed Yahushua started his ministry at 30 though we cannot be conclusive about this because we lack important data. Beresheeth (Gen) 41:46 Yosef was thirty years old… Yosef was sold when he was 17. He was in Poti-pherah’s house about 11 years and just under two years in prison. He was overseer for about 9 years so he would be close to 39 before his brothers reach out to him for food. The total period of plenty and the famine is 14 years that is 7+7. A breakdown of the numbers 17 Yud plus zayin - The ancient Hebrew pictures an eye plus a daggar, a weapon. 11 yud plus Alef - Weapon plus a human creature 30 – Lamed The King of the Jungle 3 9 Tet - A spade 39 lamed and Tet - A lion and a spade 14 Yud plus Dalet An eye plus a mouth Mystical analysis The number 17 – Yosef was sold and his life was in danger but the all seeing light YHWH was watching over him though some were chasing to kill him. The number 11 – Yosef lived under the authority of poti-pherah. The number 30 – Yosef now had the authority that YHWH had reserved for him as is the lion of the Jungle Yosef became Prime Minister of Egypt a very powerful position second to the Pharaoh. The number 9 – A spade, Yosef could easily use the spade to fill his brothers or send them back empty handed if he wanted to take vengeance but he used the spade in mercy the principle of love your enemies is proven by Yosef. He could have enslaved his brothers and forced them to do hard labour (spade) but he instead does not do that. The number 39 – A kingly lion - Yosef depicting as the Lion or the prototype of the Messiah and a spade depicting fullness that will come from the Messiah to all of Israel in this case Yosef’s biological Black family. The number 14 – An eye or the only light of the world Melek Yahushua who rescues and redeems kol Y’sra’el and the mouth for Melek Yahushua’s voice. All those who hear him will be rescued and redeemed (Luke 11:9) What lessons do we learn from this thematic view when applied to Yahushua compared to Yosef? Yosef was loved by his father Jacob. Yahushua loved by His Father in heaven. Yosef was hated by his brothers who plotted to kill him. In like manner some Sadducean/Pharisean Hybrid Yahudim from the first century hated Yahushua and plotted to kill him. Yosef was exiled from his country and became an important figure for Egypt to the gentiles like a god to the dying people in hunger and need. Yahushua is currently also exiled from his nation unrecognised by his brethren while he is gathering the outcasts and is the Almighty God himself who is yet veiled from many of his people. He is of Black skin colour like the Egyptians and just like Yosef’s black brothers did not recognise Yosef, many Caucasians do not recognise the real Messiah as the church with its lies has painted him white which is a false picture. 4 Yosef was called Zaphnath-Paaneah which means from one whom hidden things are revealed. Yahushua is also the one from whom hidden things are revealed because only our Abbah YHWH can reveal these things. Yosef started his important function at the age of 30, Yahushua was assumed to be 30 in His ministry. Yosef was in an important place of authority to do the needful. Scripture tells us Yahushua is at the right hand (Matt 26:64) of the Father meaning in a place of authority to judge and enact important decisions. When we understand the picture of the theme of Yosef versus the theme of the Messiah we then understand Yahushua a bit more. Yosef did not go advertising himself to his brethren in Israel they in fact came to him. Likewise one day when Israel is at a crossroad of destruction the real Yahudim will seek their Messiah and come to the realization of who he is (That Black man they hated for his colour and authority) and until then they will live as if he never came. We are talking about the real black tribe of the Y’sra’elites who live in Dimona and those who are the falasha the Ethiopian Yahudim do not recognise him. We must understand a few things why the problem comes up with the Yahudim because no where in the Hebrew Bible the term Messiah is used exclusively for a single person but has been applied to kings, priests and prophets generally. We are given hidden clues for the identity of the Messiah through thematic pictures one which I described earlier. Sometimes we are given clear information for his identity and at other times much of the information is veiled for deliberate reasons because this information is not necessary for the Yahudim who want to live with the Torah they should live it and they do not have to be converted into any other faith other than Judaism. The coming of the Messiah was and remains to be only for the ten northern tribes who departed both from the Torah and then later were expelled from the land by the hand of God for Torah disobedience. One of the major roles of the Messiah is to bring these back from the exile to Torah and to the land those who accept the yoke of shamayim (Torah of Heaven) and those who do not will never be allowed to return. What makes Christians think that God will allow the people of the ten tribes to return without repentance demonstrated in being Torah obedient? Many of these ten tribes are black slaves taken into slavery from Africa now living in America calling themselves Black African and in Europe calling themselves Europeans. The very reason for their enslavement was the disobedience and curses of the Torah. Furthermore we will examine a little detail of what the Rabbis thought of the Messianic figure and did they apply it to any one person. There are numerous discussions on this in the Talmud and other Talmudic writings we will only cover a few pieces here. Question 1) Let us address question one first “why is it felt necessary that the Yahudim need to accept Yahushua at the first coming which clearly did not bring world peace and was not meant to do so?” Many faithful followers of the Messiah are clearly not reading scripture and if they are reading scripture they are failing to understand it and at best not accepting its statements in full or either not even understanding what has been said through perhaps what I can term pastoral ignorance and lack of a broad vision. Let us examine this. 5 Yesha’Yahu (Isaiah) 53:1 Who has believed our report? And to whom is the arm of YHWH revealed? The prophet Isaiah started his ministry around 740 BC that means at least 740 years before the birth of the Messiah so he basically asks two questions which I believe Christians and the Netzarim need to answer as they have also rejected his statement in ignorance. Question 1) Who has believed our report? Question 2) To who is the arm of YHWH been revealed? Since Isaiah is writing prophetically to Israel for Israel and its setting is really for the future rather than the present he is clearly asking a question of “who (Israel) has believed our report,” which means Israel or the ruling parties there who were the tribe of Judah had rejected the prophecy of Messiah of the suffering servant to which these prophesies are connected. It does not matter what the ancient Rabbis say or the modern Rabbis in Judaism say but what matters is the prophet is adamant and implies no one has believed his report this means essentially both. The “who” is always applied to the majority not to the minority of Israel. This was mentioned both in Isaiah 52:13 and connected with Isaiah 42. It would be good for you to glance over Isaiah 42. Yesha’Yahu (Isaiah) 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Ruach (Spirit) upon him: he shall bring forth rightruling to the nations. 2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. 3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth right-ruling according to truth. 4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set right-ruling in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his Torah. If I apply the servant to Israel as many ancient and modern Rabbis have applied then let those Rabbis answer when did Israel bring right-ruling to the nations? Let us examine this through a historical timeline. We examine the kings of Judah from the time of Isaiah forward because the prophecy of Isaiah is not to the kings of Northern Israel who were about to be disbanded. 741-726 BC Ahaz, Very unrighteous king 728–699 BC Hezekiah - Very righteous king 699–643 BC Manasseh – very evil king 642–640 BC Amon - very evil king 640–609 BC Josiah - Very righteous king 609 - BC Jehoahaz - Bad king 609–598 BC Jehoiakim - evil king 597 BC Jehoiachin – bad king 597–587 BC Zedekiah – bad king -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leading to the fall of Jerusalem 6 Was the Messiah revealed to any of these kings? The words “Arm of YHWH” reveals a living and personal “word” which applies to a real living being and not to a static word on paper. The naked arm of YHWH is His Messiah which is open to revelation but only to those who have the spiritual eyes to see and receive Him. Can we apply the servant prophecy of Isaiah 42 or Isaiah 53 to any of these? No, none of these kings can be considered the servant in the way Isaiah described. Because none of them brought justice to the nations they mainly ruled in Israel but the servant is a far wider role of an individual who was yet future from Isaiah going to bring forth justice to the gentile nations. Can the servant of Isaiah apply to Caucasian Jews today in Israel? No, as they are not even genetic while some of the other black Jews that are there do not recognise him either. Literally it cannot apply to them no but loosely it can apply to anyone who serves in a capacity to exalt YHWH. Did Israel exalt YHWH to the nations? No, never in the history from Isaiah to the present time has Israel exalted YHWH to a level where many nations will go up to Jerusalem to visit the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. There have been revivals in Israel from a downward spiral but they have all been short lived because the real people are not even in Israel apart from a few thousands true genetic Y’sra’elites the fallehin and the black people. People forget that Israel was never totally right-ruling not even from Moses’s time while only a few individuals in Israel have ever been right-ruling. Let us examine this a bit more closely. If you do not believe this then look at the Egyptian exile from which only two from the first generation entered the land that is Yahushua (Joshua) and Caleb made it into the land while the rest perished and their children which were all second generation Y’sra’elites went into the land. Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 42:6 I YHWH have called you in right-ruling, and will hold your hand, and will guard you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light to the Gentiles; Note the Y’sra’elites a nation of priests had pretty much failed their task hence why a special servant was needed to complete the task. People misapply the covenants and start to exalt Israel the land and the Caucasian Jewish people who are not true Y’sra’elites but Israel is not The covenant that YHWH was going to give the gentiles but Israel had the covenants so Isaiah 42 says I will give you for a Covenant to the peoples meaning gentiles. The Hebrew word and will hold your hand and will guard you the Hebrew word for “guard” is Netzar. This is a hidden Hebrew clue that the Netzar נצר is the Branch which also has the similar word and is applied to the Messiah, see the Branch reference in Isaiah 11:1. Was the Messiah a Covenant for anyone? Yes, he was the fulfilment of the New Covenant known as the Sinai Covenant Renewed. He himself tells us this in Luke 22 that he is the Covenant given for you. We also know that the “Word” that was with God and Was God in John 1:1 is at times personified and reveals deeper truths of the Messiah who would in fact become personal to us or at least in the form we may come 7 to know him. The Hebrew language does not have capitals and small letters to illustrate a point but in the Torah we do have lowered and raised Hebrew letters given to describe or emphasize certain spiritual truths. You can see all the raised and lowered letters in the HTHS Bible that can be purchased from african-israel. Luke 22:19-20 And he took lechem (bread), and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave to them, saying, this is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the Renewed Covenant in my blood, which is shed for you. Where does it say this whole thing applies to the gentiles? Luke 22:30 That you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Y’sra’el. The ones who are sitting on the table are the twelve disciples and elders of Israel who are shown to have spiritual and physical authority so the reference “my table” is to his Kingly table where only the elders can sit and is not to all the rest of Israel. Note the ten tribes of Israel are goy or gentilestoday who are slowly and surely returning to their roots. If examined in its impersonal form YHWH says “the word of YHWH” was given to so and so but in its personal and living from the word is the Messiah so yes the Covenant (Yahushua/Word) was given to the gentiles just as Isaiah 42 declared pretty much included the “whole” of Israel but especially the ten tribes mentioned by names many times more accurately known as the returning gentiles. Yesha’Yahu (Isaiah) 42:7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. The whole imagery is to the Jubilee and to a future release on the Jubilee. What does sitting in darkness mean? To sit without the Torah since Torah is light so those who sat in darkness were the gentiles who had no Torah because they were expelled from Israel for being disobedient (Originally Ten northern tribes of Israel) and now all classified as gentiles mingled in the nations. Tehillim (Psalm) 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. Search up and down the Hebrew history and the only person to open blind eyes both spiritually and physically was Yahushua. He even healed a blind man from birth and no man in Israel’s history has ever done this before a very special miracle since no such miracle has ever taken place in Israel such as this. So why are you chasing after Rabbis who tell you Yahushua is not the Messiah? Do you know that they are not going to know corporately? Do you know this is meant to be for many reasons that will take a lot of paper to explain? Yahuchannan (John) 9:1; 7; 11 And as Yahushuapassed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 7 And said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. 11 He answered and said, a man that is called Yahushua made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and 8 wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. Remember the authorities at the time in the temple refused to believe that this miracle took place. They were Sadducees your typical Karaite Yahudim of today. The Karaites still reject Yahushua today and try to invent their own way of keeping Torah so what’s new? Now let us apply the criteria of Israel to the suffering servant in Isaiah 53 and we will examine if this can work as the Rabbis claim. Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. The Rabbis of Israel especially ancient apply this to the House of Israel. OK loosely it appears to apply to the House of Israel who went into captivity because they were rejected because of disobedience and despised acquainted with grief we can accept that no problem. Now ask yourself who is the “We” and who is the “him” or “they?” So if the House of Israel is applicable to the Ten tribes then when they were thrown out “he” or “they” never bore our sicknesses but they were carrying his own. Ok let us apply this to the Hebrew dispersal to Iraq/Iran. When did they carry my sorrows and sicknesses? Never. Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 53:4 Surely he has borne our grief, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of Elohim, and afflicted. Now ask yourself when did the house of Israel pay for your and my sins, when did they carry your sorrows? Can blind lead the blind? Can a sinner carry sins of others? They were sinners themselves and were thrown out of Israel by YHWH they could not carry anyone’s sins nor sorrows but their own. They even had no authority to be in the place of the High Priest who could technically atone upon his death for the sins of Israel so this verse in Isaiah rules out the House of Israel to be the ones to carry our sorrows and grief’s at a personal level. It makes no difference which Rabbis applies this to the House of Israel, it’s irrelevant. For your information Jonathan Ben Uzziel only applied part of the text of the verse below to the Messiah and not the rest of the chapter to the Messiah while Christians incorrectly assume that Jonathan applied the whole text quoting him. Jonathan ben Uzziel did not apply the whole text of Isaiah 52/53 to the Messiah, this is where Christians need to correct themselves. This is where many Christians and Jews who converted into Christians make a mistake applying the whole chapter of Isaiah to the Messiah upon claims of the ancient Hebrew source which is not true. Here is what was applied by Jonathan ben Uzziel to the Messiah only in the Targum. Isaiah 52:13 Behold my servant Messiah shall prosper; he shall be high, and increase, and be exceeding strong: From my perspective this prophecy applies to a person who is a right-ruler and would be a future figure since Hezekiah was not that figure. Neither can we apply this to the rightruling king Josiah because he was not a light to the gentile nations either but Melek 9 Yahushua was and he commanded his disciples to take the message to the gentiles in Matthew 28:19 in the great commission. Question 2) What did the ancient Rabbis and present Rabbis think of this prophecy? Before I move on I am going to quickly answer this question. The ancient Rabbis did not have beliefs as most Christian’s writers have stated as I have shown you some proof above and more below. Some Christian missionaries claim that Rabbi Moshe El-Sheikh (#20 below) wrote in the latter half of the 16th century and believed in Isaiah 52/53 for the Messiah. Our Rabbis of blessed memory with one voice accept and affirm the opinion that the prophet is speaking of the King Messiah, and we shall ourselves also adhere to the same view. Unfortunately this is misquoted by Christians once again due to lack of proper procedure and testing. Yes the Rabbis have always affirmed Isaiah 52:13 for the Messiah but they do not apply all the verses of Isaiah chapter 53 to him this is a grave mistake and the Yahudim themselves will not only correct you but make you look foolish if you imply that they accepted all of the chapter 52/53 to the Messiah. This is what most Christian scholars are doing both ignorantly misquoting Hebrew sources. We need to beware that we do not need authorities of dead Rabbis to justify Yahushua and His Messiahship but the authority of the Father in heaven alone. If you talk about false messiahs then the Jewish Rabbis have picked many wrong messiahs one such was by Rabbi Akiva called Bar Kosiva. Another one was Sabbatai Zevi who was such a good messiah that he became a Muslim upon threat of his life by the Ottoman Turks. Another fallacy in Christendom is that the Yahudim believed in two Messiahs. The Yahudim did not believe in two messiahs. Unfortunately when you pickup Christian literature you find many errors and omissions and wrong opinions on ancient material and this is likely down to one individual in the past making the mistake and the rest of the people like a herd quoting that one wrong person also making the same mistake. Blind leading the blind even some of the most revered amongst these have made errors including Yahudim who became Christians. Some of these converts spoke vehemently against the Torah the law of Adonai and others put Yahudim down generally for obeying the commandments. This is simply foolishness and not understanding the plans of our Father in heaven. I do not want to shame people with their mistakes because that is not what I am here for but my job is to speak the truth in love and teach what is just and truthful. Let me touch on one aspect of the two messiahs that many Christian historians believe that Yahudim believed. You may have heard of the term Messiah Ben Yosef and Messiah ben David. Christians confuse this term with ancient rabbis believing in two messiahs or two separate individuals but this is not true and once again misquoted from ancient sources. The rabbinic teaching on this was never seen as two separate individual persons or two separate appearances of the Messiah but one individual and one appearance only. According to ancient Rabbis He will either come as Ben Yosef that is if the Yahudim are not keeping Torah properly this is his appearance and if they obey Torah then he will come as Messiah ben David. Some Rabbis have gone one way or another however the 10 Messiah has been illusive to them always. He will not come as one such as ben Yosef than the other, this is interpolation of Christian authors desperate to convert Yahudim which do not need to be converted. Please see my article on salvation of the Yahudim on african-israel for blindness which is also very much evident in Christendom. Here it is the complete quote from Sanhedrin 98a. R. Alexandri said: R. Joshua opposed two verses: it is written, And behold, one like the son of man came with the clouds of heaven34 whilst [elsewhere] it is written, [behold, thy king cometh unto thee … ] lowly, and riding upon an ass!35 — if they are meritorious, [he will come] with the clouds of heaven;36 if not, lowly and riding upon an ass. King Shapur [I] said to Samuel, Ye maintain that the Messiah will come upon an ass: I will rather send him a white horse of mine.37 He replied, Have you a hundred-hued steed?38 34 Dan. VII, 13. 35 ech. IX, 7. 36 Swiftly (Rashi). 37 This is more fitting. 38 [This jest is explained by Krochmal, (Hechalutz, I, p. 83) as an overt invitation to the Yahudim to help Shapur in his struggle with the Romans.] If you look through Christian writings you find this is not how they presented it which caused confusion for people thinking that the Rabbis have lied. It was simply glossed over as two comings or two persons while Judaism both ancient and modern sources the large majority have never stated it this way but there have been dissident voices that believed a different way. Don’t you think if they had that understanding why would Isaiah ask “who has believed our report?” I state the simple fact based on the prophet that means if Christians are true then the prophet Isaiah must be a liar? If the prophet Isaiah is true then the Christians have been misquoting Jewish text all this time and persecuting Yahudim in the Diaspora trying to force Messiah down their proverbial throat. Now the Christians need to re-read the prophet who said “who (Israel) has believed our report?” This is clear Israel corporately had rejected the report but Christians in their foolishness are adamant that the prophet’s report has to be accepted by the Yahudim. The reality is that it has not been accepted just as the prophet stated and it will not be until the Messiah returns. Question 3) Why should the Yahudim leave Torah and become let us assume Christian which is a religion that has no respect for the law of God the Torah given to Moses? To understand this we must understand that the Christian theology is upside down. It’s akin to a movie where you only see the last ten minutes and then by this you try to figure out what happened earlier in the film. Christians have a very bad habit of interpreting the bible backwards this means they will use Paulos’s writings to interpret the passages in Torah or the prophets. They will usually often use a letter of Paulos to determine if the Torah is valid, if circumcision is valid or not and everything they seem to look at is taken through the prism of the letters of Paulos. Paulos’s letters are misinterpreted and then used to abrogate YHWH’s holy words, the Tanach. Let me be blunt with you and make no mistake I do not give the same weight to Paulos’s letters that most of you do because 11 I do not live in Corinth or in Ephesus but most of the situation of Paulos really was applied to those regions and has nothing to do with us or our time. Do you live in Ephesus with Diana’s temple? Then we must read them very carefully to a situation in past time. Certain precepts may carry in our time but not all of them do. Paulos is not Moses and Moses cannot be challenged even Yahushua gave him credit (John 5:46) so for me Moses comes first and foremost. This also happened in the first century with allegations against Paulos that he was teaching against Moses’s law and it was taken very seriously so he was summoned by the Jerusalem Beyth Deen so do not be haughty and think Paulos is your God he is not. He certainly has become a God for Christians while they arrogantly reject the law of God and put Paulos above the Father in heaven is a sure recipe for disaster and total blasphemy. Muslims are right in that Christians follow after Pauline Christianity model that is because Christians prove their behavior through the prism of Paulos’s letters re-inventing everything as a new religion so can you blame them? I agree with them this is wrong. Yesterday in a discussion with a Christian friend who was adamant that he does not need to obey the Torah he could not understand the difference between abrogation and fulfillment. It is true that England and the United States have some of the best schools in the world but it is also true that some of these children that go on to become high clergy in the Roman and Anglican churches actually do not know the difference between abrogation and fulfillment. They do not know the difference between that which is clean and unclean and yet millions of people out there foolishly put their trust in these kinds of men. Even a pupil in the worst school in Lahore, Pakistan would be able to tell you the difference of these words. Abrogation is the law of something that no longer has any value so you would not even bother to quote it while fulfill means to bring something to pass or to fill up but the preceding revelation does not get abrogated or changed. While those in Christendom happily quote the verses from the Tanach but all the time picking and choosing what to believe. Let me show you the Christian argument and read how foolish it is. Christian-> Paul said that we are no longer under the law and he said do not circumcise and he said do not keep the Sabbath. Rabbi Simon-> Christians try to make his own new reinvented doctrine by twisting facts that he has no understanding but is adamant that he is right and you are wrong even if the entire testimony of the prophets is behind you. Let me show you how it goes. Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge ye in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a set-apart day, or of the Rosh Kodesh (new moon), or of the Sabbath days: The Christian quotes the verse above and is adamant that this verse no matter what I would say he is not going to keep the Sabbath because Paulos said do not worry about it. No amount of discussion seems to remove his blindness brought about by ignorant Pastors and Bishops reinforcing Paulos’s teachings as true when they have questionable value. Paulos used terms that were familiar in the first century that had meaning to the people hearing his speech. He did not say for the believers to not keep the Sabbath or not to 12 bother about new moons but is in fact cautioning against heathens who come challenging about the Sabbath rest. The term “no man” is a loaded term in the first century and it has a mishnaic application of anybody who is not part of the community of believers therefore this “man” coming to challenge you or argue with you on the Sabbath according to Paulos would be a heathen or gentile and not a Yahudee. The heathen “man” outside our community of faithful Y’sra’elites is not to judge us on what we eat, drink or not. What days we keep setapart and why we keep is our eternal covenant with YHWH and our business and outsider may object to our days, our meats and our way of life, that is not to be a concern to us for we are to remain faithful that is what Paulos is actually saying but look how the Christian ignorantly twisted facts. However the Christian is adamant no this is not what Paulos means. So now the Christian man or woman tries to redefine how Paulos thinks by superimposing his thoughts into Paulos’s mind and at this point Paulos has become his father and the Christian man or woman who refuses to keep the Sabbath has forgotten that our Abbah is YHWH and not Paulos. The letter to the Colossian synagogue was written somewhere around 62AD because of prevalent false doctrines had started to enter messianic places of worship after the epistles of Ephesians and Romans. The Acts of the apostles were written somewhere around 60-62 AD also. Now two important things come to mind, one that Paulos has been shown to be Sabbath keeping in the book of Acts by Luke this means at least 32 years after the death and resurrection of the Messiah. Someone perhaps forgot to tell Paulos why are you being legal and keeping the Sabbath. Shemoth (Exodus) 20:8 [Dalet: Four] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it set-apart. Do you see the Christian has totally ruled out God himself and is quite happy to break the commandment based on a misreading of Paulos’s letter yet Paulos has no right or authority to make halakha. To see how many were misled by Paulos’s errant teachings please visit our website african-israel to hear the three audio teachings under Media- audio teachings. Why I gave you this example is to show you that this is why a Yahudee cannot be a Christian because the term is an oxymoron. You are asking a Yahudee to convert and then to break the Sabbath and other important commandments which is sacrilege and God does not allow such things. For us not to obey the commandments (short cut for Torah) is to dishonour the Father and the Son but the Christian is adamant that he does not have to obey the Torah and that whatever I say and however many prophetic witnesses I have from the scriptures they are wrong and he alone is right because his Pastor told him so. His Pastor’s testimony seems to be heavier than Isaiah, Jeremiah and even Moses. He even throws in a pun and says with a wry simile that Abraham even sinned and Noah sinned. I ask him can you prove that assertion. He says Abraham lied about his sister. However I tell him Abraham did not lie Sarah was his half sister but he is adamant I do not know only he knows. I ask him where doe he sees Noah sinning. He claims Noah being drunk in his home was a sin. I tell him what God does not call sin he should be careful to judge sin on the Patriarchs but he laughs as this is a joking matter. This discussion did happen with me in fact not so long ago at lunch time about Noah and Abraham. 13 First John 2:4 He that says, I know him, and does not guard his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Its clear from John that not to obey is dishonouring God, the passage shows us that a person has no knowledge or relationship with God and simply living ignorantly who behaves this way hence no Jew should convert into Christianity but should believe in the Messiah Yahushua and be Torah observant just as Yahushua was. In fact a similar and very foolish charge was put against the Yahudim by Justin Martyr in his dialog with Trypho the Jew. This is another one of the Christian heroes who was a Hellenist. Let us look at the Debate with Justin and Trypho Trypho the Jew was smarter than Justin Martyr yet Christians rate Justin Martyr and not Trypho, unfortunately Christians can be very dogmatic and biased. I am not surprised. I call Christians the kings of misquoting and misinterpreting the text of the bible. This indeed was also the problem with Justin Martyr. Dialog of Justin Martyr with Trypho the Jew Chapter XI.—The law abrogated; the New Testament promised and given by Elohim. “There will be no other Elohim, O Trypho, nor was there from eternity any other existing” (I thus addressed him), “but He who made and disposed all this universe. Nor do we think that there is one Elohim for us, another for you, but that He alone is Elohim who led your fathers out from Egypt with a strong hand and a high arm. Nor have we trusted in any other (for there is no other), but in Him in whom you also have trusted, the Elohim of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. But we do not trust through Moses or through the law; for then we would do the same as yourselves. (for I have read that there shall be a final law, and a covenant, the chiefest of all, which it is now incumbent on all men to observe, as many as are seeking after the inheritance of Elohim. For the law promulgated on Horeb is now old, and belongs to yourselves alone; but this is for all universally. Now, law placed against law has abrogated that which is before it, and a covenant which comes after in like manner has put an end to the previous one; and an eternal and final law—namely, Christ —has been given to us, and the covenant is trustworthy, after which there shall be no law, no commandment, no ordinance. Have you not read this which Isaiah says: ‘Hearken unto Me, hearken unto Me, my people; and, ye kings, give ear unto Me: for a law shall go forth from Me, and My judgment shall be for a light to the nations. My righteousness approaches swiftly, and My salvation shall go forth, and nations shall trust in Mine arm?’ And by Jeremiah, concerning this same new covenant, He thus speaks: ‘Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt’). [bold mine] He continues… 14 For since you have read, O Trypho, as you yourself admitted, the doctrines taught by our Saviour, I do not think that I have done foolishly in adding some short utterances of His to the prophetic statements. Wash therefore, and be now clean, and put away iniquity from your souls, as Elohim bids you be washed in this layer, and be circumcised with the true circumcision. For we too would observe the fleshly circumcision, and the Sabbaths, and in short all the feasts, if we did not know for what reason they were enjoined you,--namely, on account of your transgressions and the hardness of your hearts. For if we patiently endure all things contrived against us by wicked men and demons, so that even amid cruelties unutterable, death and torments, we pray for mercy to those who inflict such things upon us, and do not wish to give the least retort to any one, even as the new Lawgiver commanded us: how is it, Trypho, that we would not observe those rites which do not harm us,--I speak of fleshly circumcision, and Sabbaths, and feasts? So Justin Martyrs words are clear which most Christians utters in foolish ignorance just like Justin. For he said we do not trust through the law of Moses He said the new replaces the old There is a new law that abrogates the previous law The Torah is for the Yahudim and not Christians as Justin saw it. The Torah was given because of the hardness of your hearts according to Justin. I can tell you today that Justin and all those who follow after this kind of bad theology are not only mistaken but will pay for their mistakes by having the kingdom revoked from them! Note kingdom and not salvation. Justin and all others who reject the law of God and replace him are in for a surprise and shock at the end of days. All people whether Christian or others the misfits Jewish Christians who teach people to eat pork and do not keep the holy days of Elohim follow after man-made theologies will not get the first resurrection in the coming kingdom? For that please read my article “Will Christians enter the 1000 years millennial reign” study on african-israel. While most believers get all huffed and puffed about this it is important to recognize that the Rabbis are not in the place of Elohim so one cannot expect them to be right in everything they have said in the past. Clearly they were wrong but their ideas did have some merit. Judah was not meant to know this was cleared mentioned by Isaiah. Second a Midrash is not a bulletproof commentary but only a homily or a way of seeing text to understand it. There are many factors such as is it halacha in which case it is binding or is it non-halachic. The texts of Isaiah 52/53 are non-halachic so any Rabbi who interprets or gives a commentary on that is cannot be held to account because of the basis of it being non-halachic. All of you who run around trying to prove the Messiah by quoting Jonathan Ben Uzziel forget that his Targum is not halachic. Now ask yourself the question could you recognize the Messiah if you stood there in the 1st century? This is demonstrated by the Messiah Himself that unless the Holy Spirit 15 gave you a revelation the chance of you recognizing the Messiah would also be nil. Did the twelve recognize him? We are given testimony of Yahushua in the following text. Mattityahu (Matt) 16:16-17 And Shimon Kefa (Peter) answered and said, You are the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim. 17And Yahushua answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Shimon Bar-Yonah: (Simon son of Jonah) for flesh and blood has not revealed it to you, but my Abbah which is in the shamayim (heaven). So Yahushua was anointed to do the will of the Father in heaven. He did not come to establish a new religion but he actually was continuing in the same. All of Christendom therefore that refuses to obey Torah today have strayed from the true path that have made their new religion according to Constantine and not Yahushua. So we can see that the Messiah was going to turn around the House of Israel (Ephraim) back to Torah and specially sent for restoration and also to fulfil the promise given to Abraham that through him all families of the earth will be en-grafted into him. Beresheeth (Gen) 12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the mishpachot (families) of the earth shall be engrafted. 1In English it may not be so obvious but in Hebrew the verse for “In you ALL the families of the earth shall be blessed” reads “Ve Nivrechu Bekah Kol Mishpachot HA-Adamah. The Hebrew word used here “Nivrechu” is translated as “be blessed”, however the actual Hebrew word used for “be blessed” is not “Nivrechu” but “Yivrechu”. In the Jewish Rabbinic opinion this word is more correctly translated “intermingled” or to be “grafted in”. Question 4) The Messiah came for the lost sheep. Can we say the Yahudim who kept the Torah were those lost sheep? The Yahudim were not the lost sheep because the Messiah tells you so. Mattityahu (Matt) 9:13 But go you and learn what that means, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice: for I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. Who were the righteous and who were the sinners? Yahushua of course discouraged his followers to take the message of his Messiahship back to the 1st century custodians of the faith namely Yahudim because he knew his Messiahship was concealed from Judah and that they were not meant to know nor understand as yet since he had to restore the 10 tribes first which task was not yet finished. Look at the Master’s instructions to his disciples. Mattityahu (Matt) 10:5-6 These twelve Yahushuasent forth, and commanded them, saying, do not get into the way of the heathens, and into any cities of the Samaritans do not enter: 6 But go rather to the scattered sheep of the Beyth 1 Yeshua or Isa – True path for Salvation page 167 by Rabbi Simon Altaf 16 Ysrael (House of Ysrael: Ten tribes). Could it be clearer that he did not want them to go to the gentiles but go straight to the lost sheep of the ten tribes only? No mention of go to the Yahudim and tell them because Yahushua indeed unlike Christendom had believed Isaiah’s report that the Yahudim cannot see nor understand the deeper truth. Even today anyone who compartmentalizes God cannot see the deeper truth. Now I am going to show you what I consider to be the prophesies of the Messiah and I will just touch upon some more rabbinic opinion to show you that if you use rabbinic opinion then you can search for the Messiah all day and all night and never come to the Messiah. As far as I am concerned historically this is why the Yahudim made many mistakes of selecting Messiahs but who were not messiah. It is clear to me that Christendom has rejected Isaiah’s report in ignorance with lack of understanding but also they have rejected eye witness testimony of the disciples of Yahushua in fact the most beloved Yahuchannan (John) the son of Zebedee who said the exact same words explaining what had happened. Yahuchannan (John) 12:37-40 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: 38 That the saying of Yeshayahu (Isaiah) the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of YHWH been revealed? 39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Yeshayahu (Isaiah) said again, 40 He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. Whatever our argument against the ancient or modern rabbinic opinion but John is clear that Isaiah 53 was no other than the Messiah of Israel Yahushua who was hidden from the eyes of the prevailing Yahudim people. Even Matthew the Yahudee stated this truth, note Matthew wrote earlier. Mattityahu (Matt) 8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Yeshayahu (Isaiah) the prophet, saying, he took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses. Let us examine the verses Christians use such as Isaiah 52:13-14 Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Christians apply this to the Messiah Yahushua but the modern or many ancient Rabbis do not. Rabbinic opinion varies and much of it applies this to Israel the nation. Would you ever find the Messiah with this opinion if applied to Israel? No chance of that ever happening so the Yahudim effectively sealed their own fate of ever discovering the Messiah. Blind leading the blind but is that not what John the beloved disciple of Yahushua said? Indeed and I am backing him up. However we must not confuse recognition of the Messiah with the Jewish salvation because the two are mutually exclusive and this is where Christendom confuses the issue at hand which is not about their salvation. 17 2Here is a Targum on Isaiah 52 by Samuel Driver and Adolf Neubauer. Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 52:13-14 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.14 As many were astonished at you; his disfigurement was more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: Targum Isaiah 52:13 Behold my servant Messiah shall prosper; he shall be high, and increase, and be exceeding strong: Isaiah 52:14 as the house of Israel looked to him during many days, because their countenance was darkened among the peoples, and their complexion beyond the sons of men, As pointed out in the Targum verse 13 was applied to the Messiah and verse 14 was applied to Israel or the House of Israel. Now coming to the question of the Arm of YHWH which is the second question mentioned by Isaiah the prophet in verse 1. To whom has the Arm of YHWH been revealed? We need to understand this is a metaphoric example of a special figure of speech of Elohim to reveal His Righteous Servant the Messiah. The Arm of YHWH was also referred to a person and not to Israel the nation because it was used to deliver Israel in times past too. So Israel cannot be the Arm delivering itself. We find many usages of this type/shadow of the Messiah in this usage. Shemoth (Exodus) 6:6 Therefore say to the children of Y’sra’el, I am YHWH, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Mitzrim (Egyptians), and I will rescue you from their bondage, and I willredeem you with an outstretched Arm and with great judgments: Israel was redeemed from the Egyptians by a special provision. This is one of the places where YHWH revealed his special agent or the Messiah as an Angel thus the Father in heaven bearing His naked Arm a metaphor for the future Messiah the Tzadik Son. This Righteous Son of the Father was understood by King Solomon who asked two questions similar to Isaiah the prophet. Mishle (Proverbs) 30:4 Who has ascended up into shamayim (heavens), or descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his sons name, if you can tell? Christendom still cannot answer that question because they think the Son’s name is “Jesus” a five hundred year old invented name and the Father’s name is “Jehovah” which is a 16th century invention. If we examine ancient Hebrew literature or the Hebrew 2 Page 5-6 in “The Suffering Servant of Isaiah, According to the Jewish Interpreters” by Samuel R. Driver and Adolf Neubauer Originally published in 1877 and off copyright, (reprinted 1999 Wipf and Stock Publishers) 18 text you cannot find these names however you do find YHWH and Yahushua so what is His name and what is His Son’s name? YHWH and Yahushua. This is the special Son that many in Judaism try to understand as The Tzadik or what we term as the middle-pillar and all kabbalists know what this terms means. It actually is a reference to the mystical Son or who we have come to know as the special anointed Messiah who facilitates entry into the Kingdom of Elohim. Even the Renewed Covenant (NT) writers understood this term e.g. Yahuchannan (John) says the following: First John 2:1 My little children, these things I write to you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have a Counselor of justice with the Abbah, YahushuaMessiah The Tzadik (Righteous One): Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 52:10 YHWH has made bare his Set-Apart arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the deliverance of our Elohim. One may ask when did the Holy One bare His arm. This is a reference to the mystery of divinity when He revealed His Son Yahushua who is the Arm of YHWH who in times past was revealed as the Angel of YHWH in various places. The Messiah is a green tree Luke the Jewish writer also confirms a unique prophecy that no other gospel writer touched upon Luke 23:31 For if they do these things in a green etz (tree), what shall be done in the dry? What does Luke mean by this? The ‘green’ tree is a prophecy of the Messiah quoted from Jeremiah 11:16 and Psalm 52:8. Yirmeyahu (Jer) 11:16 YHWH called your name, Agreen olive etz (tree)… Tehillim (Psalm) 52:8 But I am like a green olive etz (tree) in the house of Elohim: I trust in the mercy of Elohim forever and ever. While the ‘dry’ tree idiom can be used for a wicked man such as the anti-Messiah a Eunuch or even a childless man. Here is what Alfred Edershiem a Jewish man said about this. (The Life & Times of Jesus the Messiah, Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1947, Vol. II, p. 588). “For if Israel has put such flame to its ‘green tree’ how terribly would the Divine judgment burn among the dry wood of an apostate and rebellious people, that 19 had so delivered up its Divine King, and pronounced sentence upon itself by pronouncing it upon Him!” Now you see what Luke is referring to? He is saying if this is what happens to a righteous man who is the Messiah sent by the Father then what about the wicked one? He is actually hinting that in the future because of the moral state of the nation they will accept the conditions and terms of the anti-Messiah while they have rejected the conditions and terms of the Righteous One from above. This is also the hint that Yahushua was hung and killed on a green TREE and not on the pagan cross of Tammuz. Within the “dry” are two clear hints. One the coming destruction of Israel that was completed by 135 CE and the arrival of the anti-Messiah which is yet future and he will be a Muslim. Please see my book World War III unmasking the End- Times Beast and World War III – Salvation of the Yahudim from african-israel. Question 5) Does the Tanach back up a second return of Messiah? To answer this question we have to see that if the Tanach speaks about the first coming and only for salvation and not for world government. Yes indeed it does the prophet Zechariah. Zechar’yah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Tsiyon; shout, O daughter of Yerushalim: behold, your King comes to you: he is just, and having deliverance; lowly, and riding upon a donkey, and upon a colt the foal of a donkey. This refers to the day Yahushua rode on the donkey into the city of Jerusalem, fulfilling the prophecy by Zechariah that the Messiah would present Himself as king. This is the only occasion that Yahushua presented himself as King. Just as Zechar’yah declared this coming was only for salvation not for world government which means that was reserved for His return. John 12:15-16 Fear not, daughter of Tziyon: behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkeys colt. 16 These things understood not his disciples at first: but when Yahushua was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him. Acts 1:11 They said, You men of Galil, why do you stand gazing up into the shamayim (heaven)? This same Yahushua, who is taken up from you into the shamayim (heaven), shall return in the same manner as you have seen him go into the shamayim (heaven). When Yahushua returns he will return the same way He went up that means the Jewish rabbinic understanding is wrong that the messiah will be born as a baby and save Israel and then marry and die. Such a messiah is prone to fail and history declares that such man-appointed messiahs rose and died which did no use to anyone. Daniel’s prophesies in Daniel 9:25-26 confirms the timeline of the first coming of the Messiah which clearly say he will not die for himself and the prophecy matches precisely to the day of his crucifixion but the Orthodox Rabbis simply reject it because they expected world peace and an everlasting 20 government which is not meant for this coming but the second coming only. Note here it is important that the question the prophet Isaiah asked becomes true that no one believed his report meaning the leadership. Once we have established the first coming then we can see the second coming is when the world peace and the kingdom in Israel will start and there are numerous prophesies for that. Yesha’yahu (Isa) 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Yishai (Jesse), which shall stand for a banner of the people; to it shall the nations seek: and his rest shall be glorious. This is yet future and is connected to the second coming of the Messiah. Yesha’yahu (Isa) 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that YHWH shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Mitzrayim (Egypt), and from Pathros (south Egypt), and from Cush (Sudan), and from Elam (Iran), and from Shinar (Parts of Iraq), and from Hamath (Northern-Syria), and from the islands of the sea (Western nations). Note the gathering of the tribes is yet future also so go and look at Israel and you will not find the ten tribes there. Even justice is no where to be seen in Israel but when the Messiah returns there will be Torah justice right now in Israel the secularist government does what it likes and oppresses who it likes they even refuse to listen to their own established high court. Israel’s present government and the attitude of the people to their neighbors is one of contempt and disgust. This type of government YHWH will break and remove such evil people and establish a Torah based government that will be a very different Israel. Zechar’yah 2:11 And many nations shall be joined to YHWH in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that YHWH of hosts has sent me to you. These many nations that will join Israel in the future are Ephramite nations who will be joined back to Israel and “I will dwell in your midst” tells us we will have our 3rd Temple fully functioning with sacrificial offerings which many people will come and make. The Shekinah will once again be in Israel. It’s clear that none of these future prophesies have been fulfilled yet and so we wait for the return of the Messiah. Recommendations Whenever we examine any text in the accepted biblical literature and try to ascertain its interpretation we must always go back to the public eye witnesses at the time to confirm the prevailing view and understanding. We can certainly go to present day Orthodox Rabbis and ask them for their opinion but their opinion is only to be treated as opinion and not hard truth because of what Isaiah said. Secondly and most unfortunately the majority of the Orthodox Rabbis have always been hostile to the adherents of the faith of those who believe Yahushua is not just a man but a man revealed by God and who embodies attributes of God and is divine. 21 We cannot like modern Judaism or Islam compartmentalize God and put him in a tin can or cardboard box, put wrappers on the this and then decide what God can and cannot do. I have to attest to you that both the Yahudim and Muslims in their zeal are guilty of doing this. No man can decide for God how he can and cannot reveal himself and then sell him as sweet candy to the world. This unfortunately has been the attitude amongst the two major religions and both have proved to be mistaken in their identity and view of God but they still have not leant their lessons. While Christianity on the other hands takes it a step further and starts to divide God into persons which I would suggest is also a mistake. God certainly chose a personal form to reveal His Son but we cannot say these are three persons. If the Holy Spirit is a person and is in everyone then how many persons? This is idolatry and the primary reason why Judaism to this day cannot accept the Christian view of God. For your information the early disciples believed in a binitarian view which is the Father is God and the Son is also God but they did not give a form to the Holy Spirit. So if we have the Father and the Son where is mamma? In my personal opinion the Holy Spirit is the Mother or feminine side of God. We have a complete eternal family living in eternity in complete love and harmony. The Father, the Mother and the Son. There can be no son without a woman being part of a relationship and there can be no relation without a compound unity of different people. This at least shows me that God embodies within Himself all the attributes present in the creation of male and female. God is the perfect patriarchal family. Remember the world is patterned after an order that already existed in heaven. See my article on “Is the Holy Spirit masculine or feminine.” The divine everlasting light may choose to reveal self in a personal form this right belongs to God and God alone. It would be blasphemous to decide how God can and cannot reveal himself to us whether in the form of a man or not. In ancient times the prophets saw God in a personal form of a man. Now how God managed to encapsulate Himself in a male form we do not know. I believe this personal form is the Arm of YHWH or the agent function by which the divinity of Elohim reveals self to the ones receiving the revelation. The difficulty for most people is that since the creator who created the whole universe how can he reveal himself in a man. Also since its not the creator is in the universe but that the universe is in the creator then how can it be possible for him to come down. To me these are our human barriers of understanding the divinity we try but fail but the divine creator who talks about himself as a family yet Akhad (United one) has revealed himself through His chosen Son who is also brought forth out of the bosom of the Father in heaven yet the Father has never at anytime in history revealed himself but the Son Yahushua indeed has manifested the Father. We can either choose to believe scripture or reject this is entirely your right but it’s also then your right to accept and take the punishment that will result from rejecting revelation of the most High and His voice. 22 Personal Revelation Certain individuals from all walks of life are chosen and ordained by God and not man. We find many examples in scripture e.g. Abraham was chosen and called. I believe I was also chosen one day when I was working in a merchant bank in my old faith of Islam when Yahushua spoke to me. Then many individuals enquire over whether the voice I heard was audible or non-audible but this is irrelevant. If the voice was meant for me then I was the only one who heard it. Is that also not what Rabbi Sha’ul said? Indeed for a Muslim it is a suicide to go home and tell his wife and family that he has heard God and especially the God of Israel is tantamount to the ultimate blasphemy. My family was equally shocked at my exposition of God who can talk. Many people are happy at God being dumb. A
