Future Pesach

First of all "Passover" has and will always point to Yeshua (The Salvation of Yah) HaMashiach ("Jesus The Christ"). Passover is centered around atonement by blood (Lev.17:11).
Deut.30:15-16 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;In that I command thee this day to , to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
The Father wants our Love: Rev.4:11/ Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Yeshua says (in *Jn.14): If ye love me, keep my commandments.(1 Sam.15:22/ Proverbs 21:3/ Jn 14/ Col.3:14/* Jer.9:23-24/ Mk.12:29-31/...)
All have sinned and fallen short of the the Glory of G-d. If we had always shown perfect love (like Jesus) we wouldn't have needed atonement, however when we Return (Teshuvah/ Repent) to YHVH we are forgiven through the atonements fullfiled in Messiah. Atonement is how we as sinners are able to fulfill Torah and live even though we have transgressed The Law.

There are 3 states of Pesach (Passover)- Past/ Current/& Future

(1) Past/ A "Memorial" of Israel being freed from the bondage of Egypt.
Ex.12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance .(Historical) Passover which is "a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ" Col.2:17, much like the binding of Isaac/ Those who live according to God's covenant are given a promise of inheritance or "entering into" a(the) Kingdom prepared for G-d's people (related to Abraham and Israel).(Gen.13:15/ Ex.12:25/ Ex.32:13/... Acts.7:5/ 2 Chronicles 20:7/...Gal. 3:24-29... )


(2) Current/- Fulfilment(s)
To partake of the LORD's table today is to enter into the Kingdom and the Kingdom to enter into you Spiritually (To overcome death and self through Yeshua HaMashiach!/ Kingdom- King and His dominion)
Today the observance of Pesach (Passover) is done in Remembrance (1 Cor.11:24-25/ 1 Cor.5:6-8 (Lk.22:19-20 Heb.2:14/ Is.53:3-11 (Jn.19:14-16/ Ps.22/ Jn.11:50/Jn.1:11) of the Atonements made by Messiah (for those who walk with Messiah). The Perfect sacrifice that all sacrifices pointed to (Heb.10:14/ Jn.6:47-58/ Matt.26:26-29/ Rom.5:9/ Rev.1:5/ Jn.11:49-53/ Eph.1:7/ Is.53). Redemption from Bondage for whomsoever /*Rom.6:16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23(Jn.8:34)/ Gen.3:22/ Jn.3:16/ Heb.10:34-39)!
1 Cor.5:7-8 "Purge out therefore the old leaven that ye may be a new lump as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth" (Heb.2:14). Yeshua has set us free from the wage of sin if you will choose life.

We have some that observe Pesach without knowing Mashiach in detail. These observances are simular to ours in that they look Forward to The Lord's Day (Messiah's Kingdom), in which His people shall enter Rest and Peace free from any evil (Eturnally:)!
Note: Phy. Isreal was scattered following the crusifixtion. Delievered back into bondage, the temple and priesthood became defiled and desolate. Those who recieved the peace of Christ were told The Kingdom is within you(r midsts)! Jn.14/ Lk.17:21/... and shall be established defacto when Messiah returns,and to prepare ourselves for that time by living according to the Word.
Preparation prior to observing The Feast of Unleaven Bread (and or Shabbat) has always been VERY IMPORTANT (Yeshua was crusified on Preperation Day). To prepare for The Feast of Unleavened Bread (The 1st day of the feast is a High Shabbat) shows you honor it. You really can't properly enter into Shabbat without preparation. This is profoundly stressed in the Israeli culture (not so much in mainstream Christianity). (Preparation day ends at sundown on the 14th which begins the High Sabbath/ Not gonna get into the different Jewish(Christian) interpretations of the calander here in this blog.
Prior to the feast of unleaven bread one does what we call "spring cleaning" with such interests as cleansing your kitchen (house) of all leaven. Many throw away anything with leaven and clean their kitchens good to ensure no leaven enters the matza (unleavened bread) or anything during the feast of unleavened bread (Chag HaMatzot). Doing away with any ties to things considered to be unedifying. Examples: you may clean out contact lists of people that haven't been instruments of light in the past year, take things out of your home that have made there way in that do not belong,.... BUT Most Importantly you: (2 Cor.13:5) Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

To come to The LORD's table without a circumcised heart (repentance) is an insult to The LORD your God and shows disreguard for the sacrifice before Him. You can't come before the LORD with a rebellious spirit and exspect blessings.
1 Cor.11:27-34 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.


Matt.26:26-29 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the (re)new(ed) testament(covenant), which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom (future).
(The Last cup of the seder table, which this was is known as the cup of Acceptance. The conformation of acceptance will come at harvest. Leading up to that His people known when they are in good standing as well)
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
Once they arrived at The Mount of Olives Messiah told them to watch while he prayed (Matt 26:36-46/ Mk.14:32-42/ Lk.22:40-46). The disciples failed to keep watch. Yeshua's first responce to finding them asleep was (Matt 26:40-41) "Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" (discipline).
There is reason to Remain Watchful Today as we look forward to The Day of The LORD. Just as Apostacy infested Israel before, an even greater Apostacy is coming prior to Messiah's return. It comes in the form of (FALSE) Peace. This Apostacy is known as The Great Tribulation and consists of The Anti(instead of)Christ calling the people of the world unto him. He will stand in the holy place (temple mount) claiming to be Messiah. He comes in peacefully and proserously & with observation. He will cause the daily oblation to cease and set up the Abomination of Desolation (which is a substitute for the sacrifice/ He will pervert the Lord's (Seder) Table (Communion/ Feast of UnLeaven Bread). This will be a version of false sacrifice that will be embraced by the masses in the name of Peace. Those that are to be spiritual virgins will be impregnanted (with lies/ "with child") and ("give suck") nursing along their rebellion. They will deliver their family members up to death (another name for the devil Heb.2:14) thinking he is Christ. The "pre trib rapture" doctrine is the Same message he will have (come to me while you can before judgement comes, the whole time this Apostacy IS the great tribulation) That is why all those OF (not in) the world shall bare the mark In their right hand (works) and foreheads (Spirit). Cause they seek "peace" and for some reason think the anti will come with a pitch fork and red underwear (When scripture clearly states he and his angels come disguised and messengers of light). His discription is the same as the postive figure in islam and his standards will meet those of political and rabbinic Judaism. He will show signs to draw in the non believers. God's people have a relationship with Messiah Today! We dont seek someone to come with observation calling us unto his version of sacrifice (communion).
Matt .24:40,42-44 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken (G#3880), and the other left(G#575) Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
"Taken" Greek#3880-
to receive near, that is, associate with oneself (in any familiar or intimate act or relation); by analogy to assume an office; figuratively to learn: - receive, take (unto, with).
Left- Greek #575-
to send forth, in various applications: - cry, forgive, forsake, lay aside, leave, let (alone, be, go, have), omit, put (send) away, remit, suffer, yield up.
So this passage isnt saying that some fly away while some are left on the earth (Thats doctrines of men and women like the "Left Behind" book and Marget McDonald). It simpley says there is a seperation of those in the covenant and those not in the covenant at harvest. Both grow together until the harvest and Then gather First the tares (Matt 13:30). This is the same throughout the scriptures. The tares are gathered unto the anti(instead of)Christ by means of the Apostacy (Great tribulation) that comes Before the return of Christ (2 Thess2/ Matt 24/...). This is why we are told "in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh", They already Have a Christ. They think the anti Is Christ. Everything they have associated with Yahoshua (-Salvation of Yah) they have given to another (breaking the greatest of all commands).
Matt.25:13Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh
------------------------------------

Heb.9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.
We will all PASSOVER physically (even those here at the 7th trumpet are changed /shed flesh/ in an instant (*1 Cor.15:50-58/ 1 Thess.4:16-17 air- breath/ Not atmosphere and "cloud" is used by Paul in Hebrews to describe a large group)
2 Cor.5:7-10 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

(3) Future Passover
When Messiah comes we will no longer have to observe Pesach in "rememberance" of him! He told us thats when he will partake of that cup (of acceptance) with us (Matt.26)! Thats when we True Partake of that sacrifice like never before cause its that sacrifice that allows us to appear before YHVH free of sin!
So since we have clearly been told that flesh doesnt inherite the Kingdom (1 Cor.15,...),
why do we see mention of sacrifices in areas that relate to The LORD's Day?
Example:
The Lord's Day is a subject of Zech.13&14 (1000yrs /2 Pet.3). Its emphasized over and over (Zech.12:10/ Zech.13:1,2/ Zech.14:1,3,4,7,9,..). Then we get to:
Zech.14:21 "Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts."
The literal meaning of "sacrifice" (H#2076) to slaughter an animal (usually in sacrifice): - kill, offer, (do) sacrifice, slay.

This is that form of Pesach Yeshua was telling the disciples that he would partake with them in the kingdom. It's his fruits (Word) returning unto him through us (not void). They that sacrifice is us in our love for YHVH (dying of self). This is why there is no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord! (Canaanite representing the heathan in the promised land/ kingdom). We will no longer be effected by evil/ the uncircumcised.

Yeshua left us with a way to relate to the physical sacrifice in a Spiritual sense (Lk.22:19-20/ 1 Cor.11:23,24,25/ again Matt 26:29 no longer in remembrance after 7th trumpet (Col.2:17). The reason Yeshua is partaking of the cup (of acceptance) at this time is to observe our Fruits of The Vine. Selah

As for Eze.40-48 It is written in relation to the temple of old as well as the Lord's Day. Those of us that relate Eze.40-48 to the Lord's Day have to do so indirectly. This perhaps helps us in understanding other areas in which seemingly physical sacrifices are in refferance to areas of which we are in the Spirit (during the Lord's Day)./ (Eze.43:20,26; 45:15,17,20)

Is.56:1-7,
mentions those of all peoples who devote their lives (fruits of the vine) to a relationship (Communion) with G-d. We then get to Is.56:7 where it says He will bring them to his Holy mountain! That they will be joyful in his Hous of Prayer.Their burnt offerings & their sacrifices shall be accepted upon His altar. Prayers were said to ascend with burnt offerings and incense (communication is open) and their sacrifices shall be "Accepted" upon His alter (before him).
These sacrifices pertain to:
Ps.51:16-17 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, (Hosea 6:6)

Jer.33:11 pertains to the Lord's day as well and mentions "sacrifice of praise"! (Rev.4:11)

Abraham's faith was counted to him for Righteousness. YHVH provided the (lamb) sacrifice then (yesterday, Today and Forever). The sacrifices we make are those of returning His love unto Him, Baring fruits of The Spirit, Putting Him 1st, showing love to our fellow man. Yeshua remains the perfect sacrifice cause he came not to do his own will but that of The Father who sent him.

The breath (spirits) of beasts also have a glory other than the physical one Ecc.3:19 (Is.65:25/ 1 Cor.15:39-40).

Following the Great White Throne of Judgement, we read of New Jerusalem:
Rev.21:23-24 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

Fruit of the vine

Gen.12:2-3 I will make of thee a great nation (goy/ not a political system), and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Gen.17:5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

Gal.3:24-29 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Matt.3:7b-10 who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come. Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Rom.2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. (Rev.2:9)

Rom.3:29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: (Rev.3:9)

Ps.138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

Pro.16:7,9 When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

Rom.8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Ex.23:22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

Jn.15:1-6 I am the true vine, and my Father (praise His name) is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

Jn.15:14-16 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

------------------------------------------------------------

Relation to:

THE 1ST MIRACLE OF YESHUA (Jesus)

Looking back to John 15 we learned much about bearing fruits of The Vine.

Jn.15:3 said "Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you." This isnt the only place we see The Word in relation to cleansing.

In Eph.5 we see the relationship Christ has with his church is liked unto that of a husband and wife (Gen.2:24). Then we are given the symbol of water as like unto the cleasining by the Word.

Eph.5:25-26 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might *sanctify and *cleanse it with the *washing of *water by the *word, (Jn. 3)

The first miracle of Yeshua took place at a wedding!

Jn.2:3-11

And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it (Jn.14:15/ 1 Jn.5:3). And there were set there six waterpots of stone (stone- Matt.3:9/ Father is potter we are the clay Is.64:8), after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Men recieved The Word from Messiah & did all he told them to, which was to pour "Water" (The cleasning Word) into vessels (again man is liked unto vessels Is.64:8/ Ecc.12:6-7) and when the vessels received the water (cleansing Word) then the vessels brought forth fruit of THE VINE (Mashiach)., God gives the increase. (1 Cor.3:6/ Is.55:11). The message of the first miracle of Yeshua is the same message he gave to his Apostels prior to his ascension (Matt.28:18-20). (1 Jn.5)
------------------------

___Matt.10:40-41__ He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward
(These verses are simpley speaking of the Authority which is Elohim (G-d) being the authority in which Messiah came. (Elohim-divine judgement and all instruments thereof). All those who share divine revelation do so in the authority of G-d.)
If G-d sends one forth with a message and you recieve that message you recieve of that divine authority (G-d). Messiah said he came not to do his own will but the will of the Father who sent him.
__Lk.10:16__ He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
When Christ said if you have seen me you have seen the Father he wasnt speaking about seeing his flesh (why cant muslims see past the flesh to understand spiritual truth) he cleary said he speaks of his works (which are Spirit, and again of the Father). This is also why he said
__Jn.10:37-38__ If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him./ and

___Jn.8:37-44__ I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
.... There remains a remnant that is in covenant with G-d that is echad (one) with the Father. Of them Christ says
__Jn.17:11__ And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. /vs.17-19___ Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth./vs.21__ That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me./vs.23__ I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
__Gal.3:28__ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
__1 Jn.4:20-21__ If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.In Exodus (7:1) we are told that Moses was made a god (Elohim)unto Pharaoh. Then we are told that Israel murmors against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness only for YHVH to later say they dont murmor against you they murmor against me (Cause he sent them forth and it was His Word they spoke and His will they did Ex.16). To ignore the authority that these people come in is to ignore G-d, which is what muhammad did by remixing the message and creating a new religion. He not only ignored the prophetS he blasphemed the Almighty Living G-d.

BEWARE of the Leaven

Matt.16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Eph.5:5-21
Matt. 16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

What is the symbolism of leaven one may ask.
Galatians 5:9
A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. (1 Corinthians 5:6) (*1 Corinthians 5:7)

A little leaven (yeast) sours the whole lump (batch of dough). The same thing happens to a message that is perverted(tampered with). You add one falsehood or twist to the context the slightest bit and you change the whole message!

Example: Satan tried to tempt Christ by twisting scripture:
Psalm 91:12
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
This is the verse Satan perverted. When we look at it we see that if by accident such happens but Satan put it in the context of well you can choose to dash your foot you will be protected. That is tempting God, and attempting to use him! (Matthew 4:6/ Luke 4:11) he says “at any time”!

James 1:13 (King James Version)
13Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man

Matthew 7:15 (King James Version)
15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

2 Corinthians 11:3
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. (Colossians 2:4/ 1 Cor. 2:4)

Amos 8:11
11Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
Romans 16:17 (King James Version)-19
17Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.



Matthew 23:2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: (Moses being the law giver!)/ (*1 Chronicles 2:55 read and understand who these people are!)/
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, (Matt.15:3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
It also says alot when one stresses how big(colorful/quality) their tallit, shofar, or tzitzit is. These type people put on a good show to appear more spiritual than others when in fact their priorities reflect physical treasures rather than Spiritual.
Jn.5:43

Matthew 3:7
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Again talking to the Pharisees, John 8:44 44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

John 3:10-12 (KJV)
10Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
Remember man can justify anything with in his own mind!
12If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

Luke 11:52
Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

Lets also remember the description of an anti-Christ (1 John 2:22/ 1 John 4:3/ 2 John 1:7)
1 Peter 4:11
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Acts 20:29-30
29For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

2 Peter 2:1- But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
Not all are trying to pull you down there is always a remnate present in the world. A good elder is a blessing and such always teach people how to study for themselves and encourage a personal relationship with God! We have no need for a middle man between us and Christ. All sin. Beware of those who do a sermon on one or two verses! Notice how much emphasis is put on donations to the church. Beware of social class and status within a congregation! Do they give All credit to God? Do they pray to any other than God?
Also does your church teach what the two churches Christ found no fault with in Rev. taught? (Church of Smyrna /2:8-11/ Church of Philadelphia/ 3:7-13)


Do you agree with everything of a single denomination or elder?
Denomination- Division (separation)
Church- group of believers
Denominational Church- Separation of The Church!
Are you following man?
(Nethinim) Ezra 2:59,62/ 1 Kings 9:20-21/ 1 Chronicles 2:55 (Kenites)/ Serpents

Traditions of men make void the Word of God! (Mark 7:13 (Col. 2:8/ Matt. 7:21-23/ Mark 7:6,7,8/ Duet. 5:32/ Matt. 1:10-11/ Jer. 17:5/ Jer. 9:14/Rom.8:28-30/ Phil.4:19/ John 14:6/ John 8:32/Man Can justify anything within his own mind (Prov.3:1,5/ Luke 10:25-37/ Rom. 11:25/ John 8:47/ Col. 2:23
When seeking find many scriptures that relate to the subject if not all of them and see where they all agree! This is how you find the truth, there are no contradictions! Does your elder refer back to the original languages! (Hebrew, Greek,& Syriac (Chaldee) It is good to learn how. There also easy to use tools for this as well. Determine which sources you find to be qualified!
Does your church stay in the milk of the Word? Does it ever get into the meat?
Things to consider!

Remember no two will agree on all things all the time! No two are at the same stage in their walk all the time. Do not stay in unfruitful discussions or studies! Don't be lazy when it comes to studing documentation(scripture) on a subject! don't be quick to conclude your studies.

Just because people don't claim alligance to you and your organizations doesn't mean they don't claim alligance to God in Christ's name. Strife and division should not be embraced here!
Mark 9:38-40
And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part.
(Many want God's people to follow man of social status both in the denominationalisim of "christianity" and in rabbinical sects of "Judaisim")

*****Jew-1) One who is of the tribe of Judah/decendant of Jehudah/by birth 2) One who is a dwells in Jerusalem/by location 3)One who "embraces" Judaism/ by faith/(today many say all tribes and those of the house of Israel are Jew.:(. Begates (lieniage and geneology), seedlines have vital importance in identification within the Word on the physical aspect! Notice in Rev the church of Smyrna and the Church of Philadelphia where the Two of the 7 Christ found no fault with. The Key of David was among their understandings and practices of understanding the Word!

When the king of the north started taking the nothern territories and surrounding areas many settled in Jerusalem that were not originally "Jews". (Jer.35(:11) Such infiltrations started way sooner though. These people even made their way into priestly duties even to the point of making copies of the scriptures(1 Chron. 2:55).

I see the tares and wheat can be both in a physical and Spiritual sense. I do consider Kenites as son's of Cain and that the mark remained with them! (Jer.35:5-7) SOME of those that lead the priesthood during the days of Christ were obviously more conserned about their reputation, social status, power, and agendas rather than truth or the well being of the people (Example look who they chose to set free instead of Christ and how such was a sin according to the death penalty demanded for such.)

The enemy often uses the Church as a weapon of their own.
(Mark 8:15/ Luke 12:1) Matt.16:5-12/Mark 8:14-21/Luke 12:1-12/ Also known as scripture lawers!(#Matt.22:35)/ (#Matt.10:25)/ (#Luke 11:46)
____________________________
Today there remains a warning. Tomarrow it will either be:
"Well done good and faithful servant" /Matt.25:23/ OR
"I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." /Matt.7:23/ (Matt.25:12,30,41/ Lk.13:25-27)
("Between the alter and the porch"= where a priest stands when on duty)
(Matt.23:39/ Matt.21:9/ Mk.11:9-10/ Ps.118:26)

In rabbinic Judaism traditions of men are held up as The Authority. The Levitical Priesthood (Deut.17:9) was the Biblical priestly order yet it became perverted and fell. Yet the religion of (rabbinic) Judaism has replaced Obvious Levites with "rabbis" & given them the upmost authority. (Jer.18:18/ Deut.19:17/ Deut.27:19)
Within the Rabbi religion, Presetence carries the weight. If a rabbi introduces a new concept they can simpley say this "truth" was revealed to Moses on the mount and understood among the priests of His day according to Oral Torah and now revealed through me a "rabbi".
Within the Talmud and other rabbinic sources you can see many views and layers of thought some of which dont agree with others (conflicting rabbinic presentations). In these situations it is standard that Presetence determines what is to be considered The Authority (devine revelation). This is DANGEROUS.
We can see the Danger of this in the court systems of the Us Government. Hard Evidence is often thrown out of courtrooms in the name of presetence based on past ruling that say how evidence can and cant be gathered. A majority consensus does NOT equal right or righteous in the eyes of The LORD.

Ex.23:2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
(Some rabbis point to this and say: here we are given weight to presetence in the Torah in relation to the rabbinic authority)
(Lev.19:18,34/ Mk.12:31/ Matt.22:39/ Ex.23:9)
Physical Israel has served as a light unto the nations. Israel has brought forth the witten Word and The Spiritual Word (Yeshua), Israel has served as an example of what it is to have a relationship with YHVH (blessings & or curses). The Authority is always in the Spirit of truth Not Man Ps.118:8/ Ps.40:4
You would think with the stressing of Presetence that the rabbinic stance would be constant but History has shown that isnt the cause. Before Yeshua it was presetence amoung the sages that areas like Is.53 were clearly about Messiah. The sages gave very Christian like interpretations of Scriptures that later rabbis changed and later gain support and new presetence

Look at the Blasphemy and perversion in "Midrash Pesikta Rabbati":

"A person must not say, I will not keep the commandment of the elders because they are not from the Torah. The Almighty says to such a person, No, My son! Rather all that they decree upon you, observe! As it is written, According to the instruction which they teach you (it points to Deut.17:11). Even I (GOD) must obey their decree, as it is written, You will decree and He will fulfill it (and then it points to Job.22:8)."

Deut. 4:2

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Deut.12:32

What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Proverbs 30:6

Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Is. 29:13

Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
Matt.15:6,9

1 Corinthians 9:14
Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
1 Peter 4:6
For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
1 John 4:1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Matthew 24:11
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Jeremiah 5:31 /
Jeremiah 14:14
Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
Matthew 24:24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Mark 13:22
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

Yeshua wasnt a part of human sacrifice to an idol or G-d Lev. 18:21, Deut. 18:10 rather he was executed.

The Jewish concept regarding the death of the righteous atoning for the sins of the people.

Great info on Atonement: http://friendsnchrist.ning.com/notes/index/show?noteKey=Atonement%28s%29%3F all pointing to Yeshua (Jesus)
Although the Talmudic rabbis concurred that Isaiah 53 was a prediction of the Messiah, by medieval times the pressure from those who applied this prophecy to Jesus was so great that Rashi, that greatest medieval Biblical scholar, reinterpreted the chapter and said it referred to the nation of Israel. This interpretation is maintained today by many Jewish scholars, though it only dates back to the Middle Ages. -JewsForJesus
Jewish Targum declares Is.53 was about Mashiach long before Rashi attempted to change interpretation following Yeshua's crucifixion.
Also in referance to Is.53:
Rabbi Yafeth Ben Ali ( second half of the 10th Century):
"As for myself, I am inclined to regard it as alluding to the Messiah."
Many Talmudic comentaries say this is of Mashiach.

Talmud Sanhedrin (98b):
"Messiah ...what is his name? The Rabbis say,'The leprous one'; those of the house of the Rabbi (Jehuda Hanassi, the author of the Mishna, 135-200) say: 'Cholaja' (The sickly), for it says, 'Surely he has borne our sicknesses' etc. (Isa.53,4)."

Blood of Jesus

4 1 & all times in Yeshua-
Heb.10 speaks about how the physical sacrifices (atonements) leading up to the crusifixtion all pointing to the fulflimment in Yeshua Ha-Mashiach
Heb.10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.,18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. (Col.2:17)
Matt.26:26-29 (vs.28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins)
Rom.5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Rev.1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Jn.11:49-53; And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.(18:14)
Eph.1:7; In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ (Jn.3:16) Gal.3:24-29! (*Lk.17:21/ Matt.24:23,26/ Dan9:27;11:36;12:11/ 2 Thess.2 We partake of the bread and wine and have victory today we dont seek modernday animal sacrifice, the anti will seek to pervert our communion with Jesus/ Be Armed and Alert)
Zohar 2:212a As long as Israel dwelt in te holy land the rituals and the sacrifices they performed in the temple removed all those diseases from the world, Now Messiah removes them from the children of the world.
Babylonian Talmud Mo'ed Qatan 28a
Said R Ammi Wherefore is the account of Miriam's death placed next to the red heifer? To inform you that even as the red hiefer afforded atonement (by the ritual use of its ashes) so does the death of the righteous afford atonement (for the living that they have left behind)
R Eleasar said wherefore is (the account of) Aarons death closley followed by (the account of the disposal of) the priestly vestments? (To inform you) that just as the preists vestments were means to effect attonement, so is the death of the righteous conductive to procuring atonement
(Miriam is sister of Moses btw)
death was atoneing for Israel
Example brazen serpent on the pole Moses raised up /
King Saul killed the Gibianites as act of atonement was was approved of by Hashem. Phinehas (Phineas/Phinias/Pinchas) killing two in act of rebellion (fornication) put aside wrath of Hashem against Israel (Num.25:1-12).
2 Sam 21 David took some of Sauls relatives that remained and killed them, following this God answered the prayers on behalf of the land (again atonement).
(Is.53) Messiah is redeemer! (1 Cor.5:6-8/ Heb.10:12)
(Jn.11:49-53 - one man atones/ Jn. 18:12-14 one man die for the people- Jewish tradtion)
4th Maccabees ^(apocrypha) death of righteous being atoneing for the people)
binding of Isaac!......
Babylonian Talmud Shabbat 32a For whoever ascends the scaffold to be punished, if he has great advocates he is saved, but if not he is not saved. And these are man's advocates: repentance and good deeds. And even if nine hundred and ninety-nine argue for his guilt, while one argues in his favour, he is saved, for it is said, If there be with him an angel, an advocate, one among a thousand, To shew unto man what is right for him; Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, etc.18 R. Eliezer the son of R. Jose the Galilean said: Even if nine hundred and ninety-nine parts of that angel are in his disfavour and one part is in his favour, be is saved, for it is said, 'an advocate, one part in a thousand'.
33b For R. Gorion-others state, R. Joseph son of R. Shemaiah-said: When there are righteous men in the generation, the righteous are seized [by death] for the [sins of the] generation; when there are no righteous in a generation, school-children are seized for the generation.

The Blood:Lev.17:11/ Matt.26:28/ Rom.5:9/ Rev.1:5/ Heb.9:22/ 1 Jn. 1:7
Here are the words of a respected Orthodox Jewish historian, Rabbi Berel Wein. How was it that the Jewish people survived the horrors of the massacres in Eastern Europe in the seventeenth century? According to Rabbi Wein:

Another consideration tinged the Jewish response to the slaughter of its people. It was an old Jewish tradition dating back to Biblical times that the death of the righteous and innocent served as an expiation for the sins of the nation or the world. The stories of Isaac and of Nadav and Avihu, the prophetic description of Israel as the long-suffering servant of the Lord, the sacrificial service in the Temple – all served to reinforce this basic concept of the death of the righteous as an atonement for the sins of other men. Jews nurtured this classic idea of death as an atonement, and this attitude towards their own tragedies was their constant companion throughout their turbulent exile. Therefore, the wholly bleak picture of unreasoning slaughter was somewhat relieved by the fact that the innocent did not die in vain and that the betterment of Israel and humankind somehow was advanced by their “stretching their neck to be slaughtered.” What is amazing is that this abstract, sophisticated, theological thought should have become so ingrained in the psyche of the people that even the least educated and most simplistic of Jews understood the lesson and acted upon it, giving up precious life in a soaring act of belief and affirmation of the better tomorrow. This spirit of the Jews is truly reflected in the historical chronicle of the time: “Would the Holy One, Blessed is He, dispense judgment without justice? But we may say that he whom God loves will be chastised. For since the day the Holy Temple was destroyed, the righteous are seized by death for the iniquities of the generation” (Yeven Metzulah, end of Chapter 15). 262 – Brown, Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus, Volume 2, Theological Objections, p. 155

Footnote 262: Berel Wein, The Triumph of Survival: The Story of the Jews in the Modern Era 1650-1990 (Brooklyn, N.Y.: Shaar, 1990), 14.

The Talmud (rabbinal tradtional studies NOT scripture) itself teaches that “the death of the righteous atones”(mitatan shel tsaddiqim mekapperet)
(Qatan28 comparision scripturs- Num. 19:1-20:1/Num. 20:25-28/ Ex.28(:38)) Rashi to Num. 20:1
Leviticus Rabbah 20:12, repeated elsewhere verbatim (e.g., y. Yoma 2:1, Pesikta deRav Kahana 26:16): “Rabbi Hiyya Bar Abba said: The sons of Aaron [i.e. Nadab and Abihu] died the first day of Nisan. Why then does the Torah mention their death in conjunction with the Day of Atonement [which occurred on the tenth of Tishrei; see Lev. 16:1]? It is to teach that just as the Day of Atonement atones, so also the death of the righteous atones.” 265 – Brown, Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus, Volume 2, Theological Objections, p. 155-156
Footnote 264 (roshi)
Footnote 265: Ginzberg, Legends of the Jews, 3:191, cites Sifre Deuteronomy 31: “The death of the pious man is a greater misfortune to Israel than the Temples’ burning to ashes.” For further references to the atoning power of the death of the righteous, see Ginzberg, Legends of the Jews, 6:75, n. 386; 6:107, n. 602.

An interesting passage in the Midrash reads, "Moses said to God, 'Will not the time come when Israel shall have neither Tabernacle nor Temple? What will happen with them then?' The Divine reply was, 'I will then take one of their righteous men and keep him as a pledge on their behalf so I may pardon [or atone for] all their sins." (Exodus Rabbah, Terumah 35:4). We have the same theme stated once again: When there is neither Tabernacle nor Temple, the life and death of the righteous will make atonement, just as we read earlier in Yeven Metzulah.

The Zohar supports this concept with a citation from Isaiah 53, the Messianic prophecy most widely quoted by Christians and Messianic Jews.
The children of the world are members of one another, and when the Holy One desires to give healing to the world, He smites one just man amongst them, and for his sake heals all the rest. Whence do we learn this? From the saying, "He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities" [Isa. 53:5], i.e., by the letting of his blood – as when a man bleeds his arm – there was healing for us – for all the members of the body. In general a just person is only smitten in order to procure healing and atonement for a whole generation.

Additions to the "Blood of Jesus" post:

Rom.3:24-25 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

1 Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
