2001.11.D.03 What Did Yahshua Really Do Created by James3 on 7/28/2019 8:18:58 AM What Did Yahshua Really Do
Greetings
Periodically we receive mails querying articles in terms of suggesting that Yahshua changed the Torah in various ways such that many of the provisions of Scripture no longer apply.
Invariably these relate to widely held church teachings which have no basis in Scripture. They range from people who are adamant that Yahshua changed the Torah to forbid more than one woman from marrying the same man to others who are adamant that Yahshua changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, abolished the feasts and fasts and Holy Days of Yahweh, abolished the provisions of Torah with regard to spiritual cleansing, moral conduct, etc, etc.
Generally these enquiries cannot offer explicit Scripture to support the argument without offering lengthy explanation that is subjective and based on assumptions. Increasingly it has become apparent that the critical issue is to focus on what Yahshua actually DID do through his terrible sacrifice.
I have not yet had time to undertake a formal and rigorous analysis but have been making notes for some time and it seems that it will be some time yet before i am fully able to write a formal article.
However, in response to a query received yesterday i was impressed to set out roughly what i am currently aware of and it seemed good to forward this to the rest of the list for information.
What follows is NOT rigorous and has not been subject to detailed prayerful consideration so it may contain some errors. However, it provides a useful overview and i would appreciate feedback from readers on what follows. These notes have been left largely in the form they were drafted in response to the mail received yesterday:
>>> NOTE BEGINS <<<
Yahshua died NOT to replace the sanctification procedures in Leviticus but to FULFIL the animal sacrifices, the priesthood, the tabernacle, etc so that ANY believer could perform those acts using the covenant blood (wine) and flesh (bread) of the New Covenant without finding an animal to kill and without a priest to perform the prophetic actions.
Yahshua died that most terrible death to FULFIL the Torah not to abolish it Matthew 5:17-19:
"17 "Do not think that I [Yahshua] came to destroy the Law [Torah] or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law [Torah] till all is fulfilled. 19 "Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." (NKJ)
This applies to the full spectrum of issues - Yahshua performed AT LEAST twenty different parallel prophetic acts:
1. Lamb of Yahweh - fulfillment of all sacrifices of lambs, etc.
2. Firstborn - fulfillment of sacrifices relating to firstborn AND fulfillment of Torah regarding rights and responsibilities of first born son.
3. Executed OUTSIDE the camp - fulfillment of Torah relating to the goat sent to Azazel for atonement.
4. Blood on the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant - in a cave 20 feet below the foot of the stake - fulfillment of Torah relating to blood on the Mercy seat for atonement.
5. Declared King of the Jews by the High Priests, other Jews, soldiers and Pontius Pilot (sarcastically maybe BUT they uttered the words and that is what counts in the Court of Heaven).
6. Received the High Priesthood by the laying on of hands of the incumbent High Priest when that High Priest abdicated the High Priesthood by passing fraudulent judgment AND sarcastically declared Yahshua to be the Messiah.
7. Bread of life (over supper and at the Feast), showbread (put on display in front of the Temple) and bread of the wave offerings (hung - waved - from a tree)
8. Took our sins once and for all by his sinless sacrifice AND prophetic fulfilment.
9. Shed blood like sweat at the Garden (1 covenant), when his beard was plucked out (second covenant), when the thorns were thrust into his head (3rd), when his back was lacerated by the whip (4th), when the nail was driven through BOTH his hands (5th), when the nail was driven through both his feet (6th) and by the spear when it was thrust into his side (7th) i.e. there were SEVEN discrete blood shedding (covenant) events. Seven is the number of perfection AND COVENANT - i.e. THE PERFECT COVENANT!! SEVEN SEPARATE blood covenants cut at Golgotha and in Jerusalem in the flesh of the sinless PERFECT LAMB OF YAHWEH that day - each fulfilling a separate prophetic function.
10. By his stripes we were and are healed.
11. Provided the perfect sacrifice which made it legal for Yahweh to give His OWN Set Apart Holy Spirit to EVERY believer who asks for it.
12. Formally declared the end of physical Temple worship - which had been illegal and powerless since the exile since the Ark of the Covenant was missing from the time of the FIRST exile of Judah and when Ron Wyatt found it about ten years ago. At Yahshua's death Yahweh opened the veil so that the Temple can be in each one of us.
13. By being faithful to the end, Yahshua gained the right to be our advocate AND to delegate the right to every man to be the prophet, priest and king in his home thereby opening the door for us all to receive ministry when we need it.
14. Was filled with the Set Apart Holy Spirit when he was immersed by John and then driven by the Set Apart Holy Spirit into the wilderness for forty days and forty nights in ORDER THAT HIS FLESH MIGHT DIE (Galatians 2:20) so that it was NO LONGER Yahshua the man that lived but the Set Apart Holy Spirit of Yahweh that lived IN HIM.
Galatians 2:20 ""I have been put to death {crucified} with the Anointing of The Set Apart Holy Spirit of Yahweh {Christ}; it is no longer I who live, but the Anointing of The Set Apart Holy Spirit of Yahweh {Christ}lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of Yahweh, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
15. Therefore since Yahshua DIED IN THE WILDERNESS He was TOTALLY Led by the Spirit of Yahweh in order that Yahshua would become a TRUE SON OF YAHWEH - Romans 8:14 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of Yahweh, these are sons of Yahweh."
And, IF YOU WILL RECEIVE IT - it was NOT the man Yahshua who hung on the tree, in a sense it was the Set Apart Holy Spirit of Yahweh {Christ} who hung on the tree in the already "dead" body of Yahshua :)
16. He showed us the WAY by his example of how to walk in the full anointing of the Set Apart Holy Spirit Of Yahweh that is available to EVERY ONE OF US and MOST OF THE TIME it was the Set Apart Holy Spirit of Yahweh who spoke through Him!
17. By being adopted by Joseph he gained the right for Yahweh to give to each one of us the Spirit of Adoption whereby we cry out Abba, Father.
18. By hanging on a tree - literally a piece of tree trunk stuck in a hole in the rock ("stake") Yahshua became a CURSE for us - fulfilling the verse in Torah.
19. By being born without a natural father Yahshua HAD NO BLOOD LINE and therefore inherited no generational or other curses and was therefore BORN as a creative miracle without spot or blemish and was therefore able to live a sinless life - the GREATEST miracle of Yahshua's life :)
20. By being a Son of Adam {man} by being THE seed of the woman AND without sin Yahshua was able to descend down to wrest the keys to death and Hades from the usurper and restore them to mankind THEREBY becoming the first born from the dead AND therefore King of kings and Lord (Adonai) of lords (adon)
21. By being of Abraham's and Israel's and David's seed Yahshua was able to fulfil the Abrahamic and Mosaic and Davidic and OTHER covenants.
22. By being created with a Spirit that had existed in fellowship with Yahweh from the start of creation and thereby knowing all that Satan was about and up to and all that Yahweh purposed, Yahshua was ABLE to resist temptation and walk without sin for all those years!
23. By being a prophet "like Moses" he was able to walk in all the miracle working power of Moses and all the other prophets.
24. By being "lifted up" like the bronze serpent in the wilderness of Sinai He provides healing and deliverance to ALL who look to him and all who call on his Name.
25. By being named "YAHSHUA" which means "THE SALVATION (OR DELIVERANCE OF YAH" [Yahweh] and BY WALKING OUT that prophetic statement his NAME became the NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES and the ONLY Name whereby men can be saved - "The salvation of Yahweh" is CLEARLY the ONLY way to get saved - we can ONLY get saved by the "salvation of Yahweh" what other way is there to get saved? :)
26. (actually at least about 35 if i count every sub-point separately, etc
It is vital to understand what Yahshua DID do
- it is not some strange mystical or magical act it is all express, specific fulfillment of different passages of Torah, Psalms, Proverbs and the Prophets. Yahshua ONLY did what the Torah said he would do! Therefore the Torah is ESSENTIAL if we are to understand the covenant of Yahshua!
If one keeps on going long enough Yahweh says we will find 7 x 7 = 49 different prophetic fulfilments that Yahshua DID PERFORM!
The perfect number of the perfect covenant multiplied by the perfect number of the perfect covenant = THE PERFECT MAN! :)
HE DID DO A FANTASTIC NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS!
HOWEVER,
NOWHERE does Scripture say that Yahshua did away with specific sanctification procedures.
eg immersion in water (baptism) as per John and Yahshua was simply an application of the Levitical ordinance, it remains as valid today as it ever was - WHENEVER we are defiled by sin we should immerse ourselves - we should ALSO apply the blood of the sacrifice and anoint with oil, etc as appropriate and AS LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT!
Likewise, NOWHERE in Scripture does it say that Yahshua died that terrible death in order to change any of the other things which the corrupt Roman, pagan, church has declared that he changed (like introducing enforced monogamy, changing the Sabbath to Sunday, becoming "God" instead of Yahweh, etc, etc, etc.
Again, i understand that you have been fed a whole bunch of other stuff which you have believed - i also believed that stuff once upon a time but the truth is that most of what the church teaches IS CORRUPT and not of Yahweh and we all do well to recognize the difference between what Scripture says in the ORIGINAL manuscripts and what man's commentaries in books labeled "Bible" and what man's inaccurate English renditions with the title "Bible" on the cover say.
Don't want to fight about it and really don't want to be told i'm hearing from the devil or whatever - if you really think so, please keep it to yourself and consider you might be mistaken - i've been told and i've been visited by Yahweh so i know what is the truth on these items. :)
>>> NOTE ENDS <<<
The above is more or less as mailed.
While it is informal, unstructured and not necessarily 100% accurate, i pray that it will give food for thought. I testify that the BULK of the message is in accordance with the Word and will of Yahweh on the matter.
Warm regards and blessings
