THE WORD 'FAITH' IS GREEK - BUT 'TRUST' IS HEBREW !!
ASIDE FROM BEING THE BOOK OF YAHUSHA'S NEW COVENANT MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD, HEBREWS IS ALSO PAUL'S BOOK ABOUT TRUST, SPEAKING OF IT OVER 30 TIMES ... BECAUSE WHAT USE IS THE NEW CREATION ORDER OF ALAHIM'S METAMORPHIC PROCESS, IF IT'S NOT BELIEVED, AND HIS WORD NOT TRUSTED ENOUGH TO FOLLOW AND PARTICIPATE IN THE CHANGE-OVER FROM OLD TO NEW - DEATH TO LIFE ?
WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN TO TRUST YAHUSHA?
DID HE LEAVE US ANY PRACTICAL EXAMPLES?
H E B R E W S . 11
1 Trust is the real substance of our expectations and makes the things we hope for REAL, being the actual proof of what we can't see. SHADOWS CAN BE SEEN !
TRUSTING / BELIEF IS A SPIRITUAL SENSE EXERCISED IN THE REALM OF THE INVISIBLE. OUR SPIRITUAL SENSES ARE THE COUNTERPART OF OUR NATURAL SENSES. IT IS THE TRUST IN YAHUSHA'S WORDS AND BELIEVE THAT WHAT HE HAS SPOKEN - HE WILL PERFORM IN HIS TIMING (NOT OURS) ... SO WE CAN BE CONFIDENT IN WHAT WE HOPE FOR BECAUSE HE SAID IT! TRUST IS OUR FOUNDATION AND INNER CONVICTION OF THE REALITY OF THINGS UNSEEN ... IN A WORLD CONTROLLED AND CAPTIVATED BY ONLY WHAT'S VISUAL !
2 For by trust, our past elders witnessed (experienced) Alahim.
ROM 10:17
"Trust comes by hearing the Word of Alahim".
YAHUSHA'S WORD (WRITTEN & SPOKEN) IS WHAT WE TRUST IN, OTHERWISE WE GET INTO WISHFUL THINKING AND IMAGINATION. TRUST MUST BE IN SOMEONE OR IT IS NOT REAL!
IT IS SUPERNATURAL - A PERSON HEARS YAHUSHA'S WORD AND HAS A REACTION WITHIN THEIR HEART FOR OR AGAINST !
THE MORE WE ARE EXPOSED TO (HEARING) HIS WORD/ VOICE THE MORE TRUST/BELIEF WE RECEIVE - IT GROWS
(MISTRUST/UNBELIEF COMES BY HEARING & BELIEVING SATAN'S LIES)
3 By trust, we understand that Alahim created the whole world by His Word, meaning all the things we see were prepared by someone invisible.
NO HUMAN WITNESSED THE CREATION - MOSES WAS GIVEN THIS INFO TO WRITE DOWN LATER. BUT THE CREATION REVEALS THE EXISTENCE OF A CREATOR ... AND THIS IS WHERE OUR TRUST BEGINS! THE INVISIBLE TESTIFIES OF THE VISIBLE ... THE CREATION REVEALS THE CREATOR! SATAN HATES THE CREATION!
4 By trust, Abel offered a better sacrifice than his brother Cain, and through his gift, witnessed (experienced) Alahim, Who declared him a righteous man. And through his trust he still speaks to us here.
5 By trust, Enoch was translated (morphed) out of this earth, and never died, and 'no one knew where he was, because Alahim had taken him!' Enoch witnessed (experienced) and pleased Alahim because of his trust.'
ENOCH IS A TYPE AND SHADOW OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE LAST-DAY BRIDE OF YAHUSHA, WHO WILL ALSO ESCAPE DEATH TO BE TRANSPOSED IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE INTO IMMORTALITY AND ETERNAL RESURRECTION LIFE ... "O' DEATH WHERE IS YOUR STING ... O' GRAVE, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY?"
ABEL DIED AS THE FIRST TRUSTING MARTYR - ENOCH STILL LIVES!
6 Infact without trust no one can please Alahim, for everyone who comes to Him, must trust and believe that He's real and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him.
(CAREFUL PERSERVERANCE = PROOF OF FINDING)
THE REWARD IS THAT YAHUSHA REVEALS HIMSELF TO YOU!
PSALM 53
"The fool says in his heart: 'There is no Alahim!'"
NOWHERE DOES SCRIPTURE TRY TO PROVE THE EXISTENCE OF A CREATOR ALAHIM - IT JUST DECLARES IT AS SO! OUR TRUSTING (OR NOT) DOES NOT MAKE IT TRUE OR UNTRUE ... HE SIMPLY IS ... BUT TRUSTING AND FOLLOWING HIM CERTAINLY AFFECTS OUR LIFE & DESTINATION!
7 By trust, Noah (having been warned by Alahim about things he couldn't see yet) had fear and built an Ark to deliver his family. Noah's trust declared the world wrong, and he became an heir of righteousness- behaviour through trust.
NOAH'S TRUST HAD TO BE ACTIVE OR NO DELIVERANCE!
NOAH'S BEHAVIOUR CONDEMNED THE WORLD - IN 6000 YEARS (120 SHEMITAH/JUBILEE CYCLES - IT'S ALL OVER)...
"AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH - EATING & DRINKING" ... DOOR SHUT!
8 By trust, Abraham traveled to another place that was promised to him as an inheritance. Abraham didn't know where he was going or where that place was, yet he obeyed Alahim and left the tents of his father, because he trusted!
FIRST MAN CALLED A `HEBREW' BECAUSE HE TRUSTED!
HIS FATHER ALSO TRUSTED ALAHIM - BUT STOPPED!
TRUSTING YAHUSHA MEANS WE MUST BE ACTIVE!
AB NOT TOLD TO BUILD AN ARK, BUT TO WALK IN TRUST!
WHEN CANAANITES APPEARED - AB STILL SAW YAHUAH!
WE'RE ALL GIVEN SOMETHING TO DO IN TRUST & BELIEF!
AB WAS REWARDED RIGHT THRU - HE MET MELCHIZEDEK
9 By trust, Abraham sojourned in the land promised to him as a stranger, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who also received the same promise from Alahim. (UNLIKE THE 10 SPIES WHO ONLY SAW GIANTS!)
TRUST GAVE THEM THE LAND - REBELLION & UNBELIEF KEPT THEM OUT!
PAUL DOESN'T MENTION EGYPT - FOR THAT WAS AB'S TIMES OF LAPSE AND IMPATIENCE - NOTHING GOOD EVER COMES OUT OF EGYPT (HAGAR & ISHMAEL) - ABRAHAM ONLY EXPERIENCED YAHUAH ALAHIM WHEN HE STAYED ON THE PATH AND FOLLOWED THE COURSE IN THE LAND.
10 For he was waiting for the city that has real foundations, whose builder and maker is Alahim.
OUT OF A CITY (BABYLON) INTO TENTS FOR WANDERING IN THE WILDERNESS - TO BE TRAINED & REASONED WITH.
ABRAHAM BELIEVED YAHUAH'S WORDS AND TRUSTED !!
ALAHIM CALLS THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS BEHAVIOUR. WE ALSO ARE REBORN OUT OUT OF THIS WORLD AND ARE STRANGERS - LOOKING NOW TO THE NEW ETERNAL CITY!
11 By trust Sarah was able to conceive and have children in her old age, for she trusted Alahim to do what He promised. ( AGAIN NO MENTION OF THE LOST YEARS )
12 Abraham was so old he was almost dead, yet from that one man came as many descendants as there are stars in the sky (SUPERNATURAL DESCENDANTS OF TRUST) and as countless as the grains of sand on the seashore (PHYSICAL DESCENDANTS OF TRUST). > DEATH TO LIFE (RESURRECTION) - YAHUSHA SHADOW!
INTERESTINGLY WHEN THIS PROMISE IS FIRST GIVEN, THE SAND IS MENTIONED FIRST BEFORE THE STARS, BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS `FIRST THE NATURAL, THEN THE SPIRITUAL'... BUT HERE PAUL REVERSES THEM (STARS FIRST) SHOWING THAT YAHUSHA HAD FULFILLED ALL OF THE NATURAL ORDER (LINEAGE - BRIDE - TORAH) TO USHER IN THE SUPERNATURAL BRIDAL DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM!
(ALL IN YAHUSHA ALAHIM ARE THE SEED OF ABRAHAM)
NOTHING OF CARNAL (SIN & DEATH)
TORAH IS ACCEPTIBLE TO YAHUSHA NOW!
13 In trust, all these great people died, never receiving the promises Alahim made to His people. Yet they were happy to embrace those promises from a distance (trusting they would come in the future), knowing full-well that they were like visitors and strangers here on this earth.
(This ain't our home - we're just pass'in thru!)
ALL OF ALAHIM'S PROMISES THROUGHOUT THE AGES (TO SEVERAL OF HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE) - ALL HINGED 'ON THE ORIGINAL GREAT PROMISE OF PROMISES' THAT HE WOULD COME THROUGH ADAM'S CHOSEN SEED (MORPH) AND BRUISE THE SERPENT'S HEAD.
SO WHAT OLD PROMISE IS RELEVANT NOW THAT HE HAS ACHIEVED THAT ONCE AND FOR ALL ?!
14 For when people trust and accept conditions like this, they show that they're waiting for a greater home/country that will be their own!
15 For if they were considering the home/country they'd left so much, they would have gone back, wouldn't they? THROUGH TRUST WE SEE THE BETTER HOME !
16 But they were indeed waiting for a better home/country, a heavenly one! And because of this, Yahuah was not ashamed to be called their Alahim. And has prepared a city for them!
NOTHING OF EARTHLY REAL ESTATE OR `HOLY LANDS' IS RELEVANT IN THE PROPHETIC PLANS OF YAHUSHA'S RETURN AND REIGN - THIS WHOLE NATURAL DIMENSION WILL BE FRACKLED AND DESTROYED HIS ARRIVAL - TO USHER IN THE NEW HEAVENS & EARTH.
17 In trust, Abraham was tested and offered up Isaac, his only son of promise,
18 even though Alahim had said “It's through Isaac that your descendants will come.”
19 In trust, Abraham believed that Alahim could even raise his son from the dead (and in a way He did - as a future type!) NO WONDER YAHUAH CALLED HIM FRIEND, FOR ABRAHAM TRUSTED HIM ENOUGH TO EVEN SACRIFICE HIS ONLY SON OF INHERITANCE - SOMETHING THAT OF COURSE SHADOWED YAHUSHA'S SACRIFICE !
* ABRAHAM HAD AN ALTAR THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE ...
* 5 COV' OFFERINGS - AFTER ISAAC'S SACRIFICE - NONE !
* 5 LEVITICAL OFFERINGS - AFTER YAHUSHA - NONE !
* AB NOT ASKED TO OFFER ISHMAEL - NO FLESH ON ALTAR
* ALL SAND-SEED/STAR-SEED PROMISES RELIED ON ISAAC
* YET ISAAC WAS TO DIE - HENCE AB TRUSTED IN THE RES'.
* NO HUMAN SACRIFICE EVER REQUIRED IN SCRIPTURE!
JAMES 2 - ABRAHAM'S TRUST WAS PERFECTED!
ROMANS 1 - ABRAHAM WENT FROM TRUST TO TRUST!
( TRUSTING WITHOUT ACTIVE OBEDIENCE IS DEAD ! )
ALL WAS DEAD - AB, SAR, ISA .... YET AB TRUSTED WORD!
20 In trust, Isaac blessed the future of Jacob and Esau.
21 In trust, Jacob blessed both of Joseph’s sons, while leaning on his rod and worshiping Alahim.
22 In trust, when Joseph was almost dead, he spoke about the people of Yisharal leaving Egypt, telling them what they should do with his bones.
IN TRUST HE KNEW EGYPT WAS NOT HIS HOME AND THAT ALAHIM WOULD MAKE GOOD ON HIS LAND PROMISES.
AGAIN A SHADOW OF RESURRECTION LIFE - EZ 37 "DRY BONES HEAR THE WORD/SPIRIT OF YAHUSHA AND RISE UP" - JO WILL BE IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION ..... WILL WE ?
23 In trust, Moses was hidden (by is parents) for three months after he was born, for they saw that Moses was a beautiful baby and they weren't afraid to disobey the King’s order.
NOT JUST NATURAL AFFECTION - SUPERNATURAL WORD!
24 In trust, Moses grew up, became powerful, yet refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.
25 Instead he chose not to enjoy the short-lived pleasures of sin, but to suffer with Alahim’s people.
26 Yes, He thought it much better to suffer for the Messiah than to have all the treasures of Egypt, and was waiting for the reward that Alahim gives.
27 In trust, Moses left Egypt, not afraid of the Pharaoh's anger, but continued on strong as though he could see the invisible Alahim that no one can see!
28 In trust, Moses prepared the Passover and sprinkled the blood on the doorposts of the people of Yisharal, so that the One Who destroyed all the firstborns, would not come near their firstborn sons.
- FEEDING ON THE LAMB'S BODY - SPRINKLING THE BLOOD
- LAMB KEPT ASIDE FOR 4 DAYS (4000 YEARS)
- IF WE DON'T SUPERNATURALLY FEAST ON HIM WE'RE DEAD
29 In trust, Alahim's people all walked through the Red Sea as if it were dry land, but when the Egyptians tried to follow them, they were drowned.
30 In trust, the walls of Jericho fell after Alahim's people marched around the walls for seven days. 7 TRUMPETS SHADOW
31 In trust, Rahab, the prostitute, welcomed the Yisharalite spies as friends and was not killed with the ones who refused to obey.
32 Do I need to give you more examples? I don’t have enough time to tell you about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets.
33 All of them had great trust and defeated kingdoms, behaved righteousness, and Alahim helped them in the ways He promised.
34 Through their trust, some were able to close the mouths of lions and stop blazing fires. Others escaped from being killed with swords. Out of their weakness, many were made strong. They became powerful in battle and defeated great armies.
35 There were women who lost loved ones but got them back when they were raised from the dead. Others were tortured but refused to accept their freedom, so that they could receive a better resurrection.
36 Many were mocked, laughed at and beaten. Others were tied up and put in prison.
37 Many were tried, killed with stones or cut in half, killed with swords. The only clothes some of them had were sheepskins or goatskins. They were poor, persecuted, and treated badly by others.
38 The world was not worthy of these great people. They had to wander in deserts and mountains, living in caves and holes in the ground.
39 These people truly witnessed (experienced) Alahim and pleased Him greatly because of their trust. But still, not one of them actually received Alahim's great promise.
40 For Alahim planned something far better for us. Of course, He wanted those great people to be made perfect too, but not before we could all enjoy His blessing TOGETHER!
OUR TRUST/BELIEF MUST BE TRIED, PROVEN, TESTED AND PERFECTED, (MADE UNTO GOLD) SO THAT WE CAN BE TRUSTED AS A STEWARD IN FRIENDSHIP ... THIS IS ALAHIM'S BLUEPRINT OF HOW HE TRAINS AND OPERATES WITH HIS PEOPLE. WOULD HE BE ANY DIFFERENT WITH HIS NEW BRIDE WHO HAS DECLARED HER UNDYING LOVE AND TRUST IN HIM? HE WANTS PROOF - ACTION - BEHAVIOUR - MATURITY - NO MATTER WHAT GETS THROWN AT US - THIS IS HOW WE COCOON INTO PERFECTION AND RECEIVE THE GREATEST RESURRECTION / TRANSLATION TO ETERNAL LIFE ... TO BE WITH HIM!
