The Christian Journey Out Of Babylon – Part 11

Gentiles are to come into Israel, or otherwise they may risk staying out

Revelation (Gilyanah) 22:14-15
¹⁴ Blessed are those who wash their Robes, so that they may have the Right to the Tree of Life, and may enter by the Gates into the City. ¹⁵ Outside are the Dogs [ Gentiles ], and the sorcerers, and the immoral people, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.

In the times of the Second Temple — the times of Yeshua — Gentiles were regularly called "dogs" by the Jewish people.
Yeshua — being Jewish as he was — on occasions also call them that way

Matthew (Mattithyahu) 15:22-28
²² And a Canaanite woman from that region [ Tyre and Sidon, Israeli territory then in the hands of Phoenicia, and now part of Lebanon ] came out and began to cry out saying, "Have mercy on me, master, Son of David. My daughter is cruelly demon-possessed."
[ Obviously this Gentile woman knew a lot about the Jewish culture. She knew that Messiah was to come from David's family. But she knows more than that. ]
²³ But He did not answer her a Word. And His disciples came and begged Him, saying, "Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us."
²⁴ So He answered and said, "I was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of the House of Israel." ²⁵ But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, "Master, help me!" ²⁶ Then He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the DOGS."
[ Observe the context. He was telling her that the Blessings of the Children of Israel were to be given to the Gentiles! ]
²⁷ But she said, "Yes, master; but even the DOGS feed on the crumbs which fall from their Masters' Table."
[ What some Gentiles get is mere "crumbs" of Mercy. Israel gets Bread by Right of Birth under the Covenant ].
²⁸ Then Yeshua said to her, "Oh, woman, your Faith is great! It shall be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed at once.

2. What Faith is this?
a) The Faith that Yeshua preached, which was totally based upon Torah
b) The Instructed (that is, the Torah-based) Faith that establishes that the shedding of innocent blood redeems the trusting sinner
c) The very Judaic Faith by which Yeshua — the Lamb of YHWH — was sacrificed for the Forgiveness of sins of all those who trust in Him as the Messiah and King of Israel, as well as His Sacrifice on their behalf
d) The Faith that saved Abraham, Yitzhak, Ya'akov, Moses and everyone else up to this very day
3. When was that ONE time when such Faith was handed down?
a) There has been ONLY ONE time in history when YHWH handed down His Word to his Set-Apart People
b) Such a singular Time was on the very first Shavuot, which took place in the desert — right in front of the Mount Sinai — on the 50^th day after the first Pesach or Passover in Egypt (Mitzraim)
c) ( Shavuot is called by Christians "Pentecost" )
4. What does it mean "for ALL"? That is, who are "ALL"?
a) YHWH gave his Torah to the people of Israel so that they, as his nation of priests, would teach it and exemplify it to the entire world.

Exodus (Shemoth) 19:5-6
⁵ "Now then, if you will indeed obey My Voice and keep My Covenant, then you shall be My Own Possession among all the peoples — for all the earth is Mine. ⁶ And you [ Israel ] shall be to Me a Kingdom of Priests and a Set-Apart Nation." These are the Words that you shall speak to the children of Israel.

The Set-Apart Nation and Kingdom of Priests is not the Gentile Christian Church. It is Israel — even after this era is over.

b) Torah is "for all" people, for all mankind, for every human being

c) Whoever accepts Torah as the Rule of the Almighty upon his life — by trusting (Faith) in the Word of Him Who said it — becomes part of the nation of Israel (for real), thus falling under her unique Covenant with YHWH (which later on was fulfilled and renewed by Yeshua) and therefore becomes receptor of all of YHWH's Promises for here and Eternity. Hallel'u'Yah !!!
5. How was this Faith handed "down"?

Deuteronomy (Devarim) 9:9-10
⁹ When I [ Moses ] went up to the Mountain [ of Sinai ] to receive the Tablets of Stone — the Tablets of the Covenant, which YHWH had made with you — then I remained on the Mountain 40 days and nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water. ¹⁰ YHWH gave me the 2 Tablets of Stone written by the Finger of Elohim; and on them were all the Words which YHWH had spoken with you at the [ foot of the ] Mountain from the midst of the Fire on the Day of the Convocation.

Convocation is "kahal" in Hebrew. It also means "congregation" and "assembly."
In the Septuagint, "kahal" was translated into Greek as "ekklessia."
From the Greek "ekklessia" it was translated into English as "church".

The word "church" comes from the Greek name "Chirche," "Xirxe" or "Circe" (all forms are pronounced as 'chirche').

In the satanic Greek pantheon, Chirche was the daughter of the sun Elohim Helios and the ocean nymph Perse. By means of drugs and incantations Chirche was said to turn humans into lions, wolves, swine, etc.

How this original Faith was transformed into another one?

Matthew 13:24-26
²⁴ Yeshua presented another parable to them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven [ of YHWH ] may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. ²⁵ But while his men were sleeping, His enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away. ²⁶ But when the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the tares became evident also."

Matthew 7:15-16
¹⁵ Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. ¹⁶ You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles.

Acts 20:29-30
29 "I know that after my departure { in that time, not at the End of the Age } savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; 30 and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

Jude (Yahuda) 1:4
⁴ Because certain individuals have crept in unnoticed [ moles, secret enemy agents who come in to destroy from inside ], those who were way ahead of time marked out for this condemnation, blasphemous people who turn the Grace of our Elohim into licentiousness, and deny our only owner and master, Messiah Yeshua.

Revelation 22:18-19
¹⁸ I testify to everyone who hears the words of the Prophecy of this Book: if anyone adds [ present tense ] to them, Elohim will add to him the Plagues which are written in this book; ¹⁹ and if anyone takes away [ present tense ] from the Words of the book of this Prophecy, Elohim will take away his part from the Tree of Life and from the Holy City, which are written in this book.

Why such a stern threat? Because there were moles already doing it — before the end of the first century!

Christendom has thrown out of the window the PERPETUAL Feasts of YHWH

Exodus 12:14
¹⁴ Now, this day [ Passover ] will be a memorial to you, and [ So, ] you shall celebrate it as [ It is ] a feast to YHWH [ YHWH, Tetragrammaton ]. Throughout your generations you are to celebrate it as [ It is ] a PERMANENT ordinance [ it is a khukkah, not a mitzvah ].

Exodus 12:24-27
²⁴ And you shall observe this event { Passover } as [ It is ] an ordinance { it is a khukkah, not a mitzvah } for you and your children FOREVER. ²⁵ When you enter the land which YHWH will give you, as He has promised, you shall observe this rite { abodah = work, labor, service }. ²⁶ And when your children say to you, "What does this rite { abodah = work, labor, service } mean to you?" ²⁷ you shall say, "It is a Passover sacrifice to YHWH who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt when He smote the Egyptians, but spared our homes." And the people bowed low and worshiped.

Exodus (Shemoth) 12:17
¹⁷ You shall also observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt. Therefore, you shall observe this day throughout your generations as a PERMANENT ordinance [ it is a khukkah, not a mitzvah ].

Leviticus 23:1-8
¹ YHWH spoke again to Moses, saying, ² "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, YHWH's appointed times [ moedim ] which you shall proclaim as holy convocations [ mikra = rehearsals ]. My Appointed Times are these: ³ For 6 days work may be done, but on the 7^th day there is a Shabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation [ mikra = rehearsals ]. You shall not do any work. It is a Shabbath to YHWH in all your dwellings.
⁴ These are the Appointed Times [ moedim ] of YHWH, Holy Convocations [ mikra = rehearsals ] which you shall proclaim at the Times appointed [ moed ] for them. ⁵ In the first month, on the 14^th day of the month, at twilight, is YHWH's Passover. ⁶ Then, on the 15^th day of the same month there is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to YHWH. For 7 days you shall eat unleavened bread. ⁷ On the first day you shall have a Holy Convocation [ mikra = rehearsals ]; you shall not do any laborious work. ⁸ But for 7 days you shall present an offering by fire to YHWH. On the 7^th day is a Holy Convocation [ mikra = rehearsals ]. You shall not do any laborious work."

Amos 8:10
10. Then, I will turn YOUR festivals [ khag ] into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation. And I will bring sackcloth on everyone's loins And baldness on every head. And I will make it like a time of mourning for an only son, and the end of it will be like a bitter day.

Turning the 'mikrot' of Elohim into 'khaggim' of men
Turning convocations of Elohim into festivals of men

We have all been victims of Constantine's syncretism with his Sumerian paganism

Syncretism = Apostasy

1. The 16^th century Reform was limited to:
1. the wonderful teaching of only one verse [ Romans 1:17 ]
2. the scrubbing away of some pagan paraphernalia
3. the partial readjustment of the ecclesiastical hierarchy
The initial elements of syncretism were left intact by the Reformers,
They were more interested in confronting the abuses of the popery and correcting the Catholic apostasy, than deeply going back to the true roots of their Faith.


2. The story of the Church fallows the steps of Israel:
1. Israel was transported to Babylon
It was syncretized by their Sumerian religion
2. 70 years later some went back to Israel to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem
{ Nehemiah }
The forgotten scroll of the Law was found again.

The Law was read to the people for the first time after a long period.

{ Ezra on Rosh HaShannah}

Nehemiah 8:1-3
¹ And all the people gathered as one man at the square which was in front of the Water Gate, and they asked Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses which YHWH had given to Israel. ² Then Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly of men, women and all who could listen with understanding, on the first day of the 7^th month. ³ He read from it before the square which was in front of the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of men and women, those who could understand; and all the people were attentive to the book of the Law.

All the people went away to eat, to drink, to send portions and to celebrate a great festival, because they understood the words which had been made known to them.

Ezra 7:6-10

⁶ This Ezra went up from Babylon, and he was a scribe skilled in the Law of Moses, which YHWH Elohim of Israel had given; and the king granted him all he requested because the hand of YHWH his Elohim was upon him.

⁷ Some of the sons of Israel and some of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers and the temple servants went up to Jerusalem in the 7^th year of King Artaxerxes.

⁸ He came to Jerusalem in the 5^th month, which was in the 7^th year of the king.

⁹ For on the 1^st of the 1^st month he began to go up from Babylon; and on the 1^st of the 5^th month he came to Jerusalem, because the good hand of his Elohim was upon him.

¹⁰ For Ezra had set his heart to study the law of YHWH and to practice it, and to teach His Statutes and Ordinances in Israel.

The Last Revival of Truth

Joel 2:28-32

²⁸ It will come about, after this, that I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.

²⁹ Even on the male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

³⁰ I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, blood, fire and columns of smoke.

³¹ The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the Great and Awesome Day of YHWH comes.

³² And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of YHWH will be delivered — for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as YHWH has said, Even among the survivors whom YHWH calls.
