5YAHUAH did not choose Angels to be the rulers over the new future world that’s coming (the one we’ve been talking about). . . . . 9But we can see YAHUSHA (who was made lower than the Angels for a little while) now wearing a crown of esteem and honour because He suffered and died. Yes! It’s because of YAHUAH’S favour, that He tasted death for everyone. . . . 10YAHUAH, the One Who made all things (and for Whose esteem all things exist) wants to share His esteem with many people, so He made YAHUSHA (the princely leader of their deliverance) perfect through His sufferings.
11For YAHUSHA, the One who makes His Bride set-apart, and those who He’s making set-apart, are all one, so He’s not ashamed to call them His Brothers and Sisters,
12saying, “I will announce Your Name to my Brothers and Sisters, singing praises to You in the midst of the Assembly”.
13He also says, “I will put My trust in Him.” And also, “Not just me, but the children YAHUAH has given Me.”
14For these children are people with physical bodies (flesh and blood). So YAHUSHA Himself became like them and had the same experiences they have. YAHUSHA did this so that, by dying, He could destroy the Devil, who has the power of death.
15YAHUSHA became like these people and died so that He could free them, for they’ve been like slaves all their lives because of their fear of death.
16For He didn’t take on the nature of Angels, but the nature of humans from the seed of Abraham.
17For this reason, YAHUSHA had to be made like us (His Brothers and Sisters) in every way, in order that He could be our compassionate and trustworthy High Priest in service to YAHUAH. Then He could bring atonement (forgiveness/intimacy) for the people’s sins.
18And now He can help those who are tried and tempted, because He Himself suffered through temptation and trial.
11 ... For YAHUSHA, the One who makes His Bride set-apart, and those who He’s making set-apart, are all one, so He’s not ashamed to call them His Bros and Sis ...
YAHUSHA & HIS BRIDE R 1
EVEN AS AARON AND HIS SONS WERE CHOSEN, SEPARATED AND MADE SET-APART FOR SANCTUARY SERVICE (BY MOSES) SO YAHUSHA AND HIS BRIDE ARE SET-APART UNTO YAHUAH THE FATHER. YAHUSHA GAVE HIMSELF FOR HIS BRIDE TO SET HER APART UNTO HIMSELF AS A MARVELLOUS FELLOWSHIP. SO WE ARE TO BE SET APART UNTO YAHUAH BY MESSIAH AND WE ARE TO BE SEPARATED FROM ALL THAT IS NOT OF THE FATHER. DO YOU ALLOW THIS ??
THROUGH HIS SPIRIT WITHIN THEM, YAHUSHA IS IN UNION WITH HIS PEOPLE. THE DELIVERER AND THE DELIVERED ARE ALL ONE, EVEN AS VINE AND BRANCHES ARE ONE, HAVING THE SAME DIVINE NATURE AND LIFE. IT SPEAKS OF THE ONENESS OF YAHUSHA AND HIS BRIDE.
YAHUSHA PRAYED, “THAT THEY ALL (THE MANY SONS - HIS BRIDE - THE HEIRS) MAY BE ONE, EVEN AS WE ARE ONE, THAT THE WORLD MAY BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE SENT ME - I IN THEM, YOU IN ME, THAT THEY MAY BE ONE IN US!” YAHUSHA MADE THIS POSSIBLE THROUGH HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION BUT IT IS UP TO HIS BRIDE TO EXERCISE THE BEHAVIOUR AND ATTAIN THIS UNITY!
'AND FOR THIS CAUSE HE IS NOT ASHAMED TO CALL US HIS FAMILY - HIS BROTHERS & SISTERS!' THAT IS, FAMILY RELATIONSHIP, AND HE IS THE FIRSTBORN OF THE FAMILY, THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW CREATIONS OF YAHUAH, WHICH IS THE BRIDAL FELLOWSHIP OF ASSEMBLY .
IT NECESSARY THAT WE HAVE THE SAME FATHER AND BE OF THE SAME SEED AS YAHUSHA (NOT JUST ANY MAN) IN ORDER FOR US TO BE HIS FAMILY. HE IS ONE WITH US, YET WE MUST BE ONE WITH HIM. WE ENTER THE FAMILY OF YAHUAH BY NEW BIRTH ONLY. DIVINE HEART OPERATION
HE IS THE FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY FAMILY! HE IS THE FIRSTBORN IN A VAST FAMILY OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS. YAHUSHA DID NOT JUST FOLLOW THE NATURAL FAMILY OF HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS, BUT SAID 'ONLY THOSE THAT DO THE WILL OF YAHUAH ARE MY FAMILY', AND OF THE DIVINE FAMILY. HIS FAMILY WAS BY SUPERNATURAL RELATIONSHIP, NOT OF NATURAL, FLESHLY RELATIONSHIP AND NOT OF FLESHLY LINEAGE OR BLOOD !
12 ... saying, “I will announce Your Name to my Brothers and Sisters, singing praises to You in the midst of the Assembly”.
He's not ashamed to call us His Brothers & Sisters ...
ANNOUNCE YOUR NAME !
'I WILL ANNOUNCE YOUR NAME TO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS'..
HERE WE HAVE A WONDERFUL PSALM (22) QUOTED BY PAUL IN HEBREWS, WHICH SPEAKS ALL ABOUT YAHUSHA’S DEATH ON THE TORTURE-STAKE, AND AFTER THE SUFFERINGS OF DEATH, HE IS BROUGHT TO ETERNAL SONSHIP BY THE RESURRECTION POWER AND ESTEEM, SO 'HE CAN CALL US HIS FAMILY AND DECLARE HIS FATHER'S NAME TO US'.
THE FELLOWSHIP CAN INDEED SING PRAISES BECAUSE YAHUSHA IS IN THEIR MIDST! SINGING AND MAKING MELODY, PSALMS AND HYMNS, AND SPIRITUAL SONGS, WITH THE WORD DWELLING RICHLY IN US -SINGING WITH THE SPIRIT AND ALSO WITH UNDERSTANDING.
13 ... He also says, “I will put My trust in Him.” And also,“Not just me, but the children YAHUAH has given Me.”
I'LL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM
'I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM' - QUOTED FROM PSA 18:2. THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THE WONDERFUL MESSIANIC PSALMS WHICH SPEAK OF THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF YAHUSHA, THE SON OF YAHUAH. HOW YAHUSHA PUT HIS TRUST IN THE FATHER IS EVIDENT IN HIS LIFE, AND IN HIS DEATH. FOR HE TRUSTED HIS FATHER TO BRING HIM THROUGH TO RESURRECTION LIFE AFTER HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE AND THAT TRUST WAS NOT PUT TO CONFUSION. IT IS BETTER TO TRUST IN YAHUAH THAN TO TRUST IN MAN OR IN ONE'S OWN HEART.
EVEN THOUGH YAHUSHA IS YAHUAH, AS A MAN HE STILL HAD TO TRUST !
ISAIAH 8:18 ‘BEHOLD, I AND THE CHILDREN WHO YAHUAH HAS GIVEN ME ARE FOR SIGNS AND WONDERS IN ISRAEL FROM YAHUAH OF HOSTS WHO DWELLS IN MT ZION’. YAHUSHA AND HIS BRIDE ARE TO BE PERSONALLY FOR 'SIGNS AND WONDERS'. HERE YAHUAH’S SPIRIT TAKES SOMETHING CONCERNING ISAIAH THE PROPHET AND HIS CHILDREN (AS BEING ‘SIGNS AND WONDERS’ TO ISRAEL) AND APPLIES IT TO YAHUSHA AND HIS BRIDE AS BRINGING SUPERNATURAL `SIGNS AND WONDERS’ TO THE WORLD.
14 ... for these children are people with physical bodies (flesh and blood) ...
'THESE CHILDREN' ARE THOSE WHO THE FATHER GAVE TO THE SON, AS HIS MANY FAMILY, AND THE FATHER'S MANY SONS AND HEIRS. JUST AS YAHUAH CALLED OUT ABRAHAM AND SEPARATED HIM FROM THE NATIONS TO MAKE HIMSELF A SET-APART NATION OF OBEDIENCE AND TRUTH, SO THE 12 TRIBES WERE TO BE THIS SHINING LIGHT ON THE EARTH ...
WE HAVE REFERENCE TO CHILDREN OR SONS OF ISAIAH, AS WELL AS THE GREAT PROPHECY CONCERNING THE VIRGIN-BIRTH SON OF YAHUAH. THESE WERE THE CHILDREN OR SONS THAT WERE FOR `SIGNS AND WONDERS’ IN ISRAEL. THEIR VERY NAMES INTERPRETED, SENT A MESSAGE TO ISRAEL ... IF ISRAEL HAD ONLY TAKEN CARE TO HEED. ISAIAH’S CHILDREN WERE `SIGNS’ OF A COMING DELIVERANCE AS WELL AS COMING JUDGMENTS, JUST LIKE MANY OTHERS IN THE OLDER TEXTS SHADOWED THIS TRUTH.
... A LIVING WITNESS AND EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAVING YAHUAH `IN THEIR MIDST’ REALLY LOOKED LIKE! OF COURSE THEY CONSTANTLY FAILED, CHOSE IDOLATRY, WERE DIVORCED AND YAHUSHA HAS NOW ESTABLISHED THIS SAME CHARGE FOR HIS BRIDE TODAY!
'PEOPLE WITH PHYSICAL BODIES (FLESH AND BLOOD)' - THIS EXPRESSION IS USED IN SCRIPTURE AS REFERRING TO THE HUMAN, OR CORRUPTIBLE MAN OF ADAM AFTER THE FALL. IT IS SPEAKING OF THE COMPLETE, CORRUPTIBLE, SIN-INDWELT, DOOMED PHYSICAL PART OF MAN. IT IS SPEAKING ALSO OF CARNAL FLESHLY-LIFE.
ADAM'S BODY WAS MADE AND FASHIONED FROM THE DUST OF THE EARTH, AND THE LIFE IN THE BLOOD. ADAM'S SPIRIT WAS THEN GIVEN BY THE BREATH OF YAHUAH, MAKING HIM AWAKE, AWARE AND CONSCIOUS. WHEN THE SERPENT CAME TO EVE IN THE GARDEN AND TEMPTED HER TO TAKE OF THE FORBIDDEN TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL ... IT CAME THROUGH ALL THE BODILY-SENSES, APPEALING TO THE TOUCH, TASTE, SIGHT, HEARING AND SMELLING.
THE FIVE SENSES WERE APPROACHED IN THIS TEMPTATION, THEN THROUGH THESE TO THE BEING AND THE SPIRIT OF MAN. THE TEMPTATION WAS THEREFORE IN BODY AND SPIRIT. AND (THROUGH SIN) MAN BECAME SIMPLY A ‘FLESH AND BLOOD´ CORRUPTED AND CORRUPTIBLE CREATURE - ADAM. ALL THE CHILDREN OF ADAM ARE BORN IN THE SAME WAY WITH THE SAME NATURE AND SUBSTANCE. ALL ARE MORTAL, DEATH-DOOMED, SINFUL, CORRUPTIBLE FLESH AND BLOOD!
14 ... For these children are people with physical bodies (flesh and blood). So YAHUSHA Himself became like them and had the same experiences they have ...
SIN IS IN THE BLOOD-STREAM OF ADAM AS THE SEED-BEARER OF THE UNBORN HUMAN RACE, AND THAT SIN, DEATH, AND CORRUPTION PASSED ONTO ALL HIS CHILDREN, MAKING THEM PARTAKERS OF ALL THAT ADAM BECAME IN SIN.
'YAHUSHA HIMSELF BECAME LIKE THEM' - HERE WE HAVE A MOST REMARKABLE STATEMENT OF PAUL BY THE INSPIRATION OF THE SET-APART SPIRIT REGARDING YAHUSHA, THE SON. SEEING THAT THE CHILDREN OF ADAM WERE PARTAKERS OF FLESH AND BLOOD, THEN THE ONLY WAY THAT HE COULD REDEEM THEM FROM DEATH, SIN AND SATAN, WAS FOR HIM TO PARTAKE OF FLESH AND BLOOD ALSO. IN OTHER WORDS, YAHUAH HAD TO BECOME A MAN OF THE HUMAN RACE IN ORDER TO REDEEM THE HUMAN RACE FROM DEATH, SIN AND SATAN!
FROM THE HUMAN POINT OF VIEW, HERE IS THE PROBLEM THAT HAD TO BE FACED. YAHUAH CANNOT SIN AND YAHUAH CANNOT DIE! YAHUAH IS SPIRIT, AND INCORRUPTIBLE AND IMMORTAL. HE DWELLS IN THE LIGHT THAT NO MAN CAN APPROACH. IT WAS THE MAN ADAM THAT SINNED, AND MUST DIE. SIN AND DEATH BELONG TO EACH OTHER, FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH.
SO THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE MAN ADAM COULD NOT REDEEM HIMSELF FROM SIN OR DEATH, OR FROM BEING A SUBJECT OF THE KINGDOM OF SATAN. HE HAD SOLD OUT THE UNBORN GENERATIONS (AS YET IN HIS LOINS) TO SATAN. AND ALL OF ADAM'S CHILDREN WOULD BE BORN SUBJECTS, BORN INTO THE KINGDOM OF SATAN, OF SIN, OF DARKNESS AND DEATH!
THEN WHO COULD REDEEM MANKIND? ADAM COULDN'T! ANGELS COULDN'T! NONE OF ADAM'S RACE COULD REDEEM MANKIND. THERE WAS ONLY ONE ANSWER, AND THAT WAS - YAHUAH HIMSELF MUST REDEEM MAN!
HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD!
SO IN GENESIS.3 YAHUAH HIMSELF GIVES THE FIRST PROMISE AND PROPHECY OF A SEED THAT WOULD BE BORN OF ADAM'S RACE THAT WOULD CRUSH THE SERPENT'S HEAD, WHO HAD BROUGHT SIN AND DEATH TO MAN. BUT HOW COULD A SEED BE BORN OF ADAM'S RACE THAT COULD BE CAPABLE AND WORTHY OF REDEEMING MAN, SINCE ALL WHO WAS BORN OF ADAM WOULD BE SINFUL AND DEATH-DOOMED? SINCE ALL WHO WERE IN ADAM WERE BORN IN SIN AND SHAPED IN INIQUITY, NONE COULD REDEEM HIS BROTHER BY ANY MEANS !
IT MEANT BUT ONE THING: YAHUAH MUST COME INTO THE HUMAN RACE. HE MUST BE BORN INTO IT AND BORN OF IT. HE MUST PARTAKE OF HUMAN NATURE, FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT HE MUST DO THIS WITHOUT PARTAKING OF MAN'S SIN AND DEATH, YET DO IT IN SUCH A WAY SO AS HE COULD REDEEM MAN FROM SIN AND DEATH! HOW COULD YAHUAH DO THIS? HOW DID HE DO IT REALLY?
THE ANSWER IS IN THIS STATEMENT BEFORE US. ‘YAHUSHA HIMSELF BECAME LIKE THEM (FLESH AND BLOOD).’ HERE WE HAVE THE TRUTH OF THE INCARNATION FORETOLD THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE HIS BIRTH OF THE VIRGIN MARY (MIRIAM). THE WHOLE LANGUAGE AND TEACHING OF THIS VERSE IS THAT YAHUAH THE SON WOULD BE BORN OF A VIRGIN, BY THE POWER OF THE SET-APART SPIRIT.
THIS WOULD BE SEEN IN HIS TAKING UPON HIMSELF THE BODY OF A MAN (COMPLETE HUMAN NATURE APART FROM SIN) AND THUS BE ABLE TO DIE FOR THE FALLEN RACE AND ADAM'S SIN! BUT WHILE YAHUSHA INDEED BECAME LIKE THEM IN FLESH AND BEING, HE COULD NOT PARTAKE OF HUMAN BLOOD BECAUSE IT HAD SIN IN IT, PASSED ON FROM THE SEED-BEARER, THE FATHER ADAM.
SIN HAD POLLUTED THE BLOODSTREAM. THE BLOOD IS IN THE SEED AND THE SEED COMES FROM THE FATHER (IN NATURAL BIRTH). THE MOTHER MAINLY SUPPLIES THE BODY OF FLESH AND BONE. THE FATHER SUPPLIES THE SEED AND LIFEBLOOD IN THAT SEED. SO THE PART THAT YAHUSHA THE SON TOOK ON WAS FLESH - NOT BLOOD! YAHUAH USED THE VIRGIN MARY (MIRIAM) TO SUPPLY THE BODY (THE FLESH) BUT THE BLOOD OR THE SEED WITH THE LIFEBLOOD IN IT CAME FROM THE FATHER YAHUAH.
YAHUAH PLANTED THAT SEED SUPERNATURALLY IN THE VIRGIN'S WOMB, BY THE OVERSHADOWING OF HIS SPIRIT. SO THE SEED AND THE BLOOD OF YAHUSHA WAS OF THE FATHER YAHUAH, AND AS SUCH IS REFERRED TO AS THE ‘INCORRUPTIBLE SEED.´ IT IS IMMORTAL, SINLESS AND PERFECT. IT IS THE SEED OF YAHUAH AND THE PERFECT DIVINE BLOOD OF THE LIVING CREATOR AND ALAHIM.
ALL OF THE HUMAN RACE RECEIVE A BODY THROUGH THE NATURAL PROCESS OF MAN AND WOMAN AS THE FATHER AND MOTHER, THE MOTHER SUPPLYING THAT BODY, THE FATHER SUPPLYING THE SEED (SPERM WITH THE BLOOD IN IT). BUT FOR YAHUSHA, A BODY WAS PREPARED FOR HIM. IT WAS NOT CREATED BUT BROUGHT-FORTH BY THE SET-APART SPIRIT.
YAHUSHA (HAVING NO EARTHLY BIOLOGICAL FATHER, BUT ONLY A HEAVENLY FATHER, BUT HAVING A HUMAN MOTHER) WAS BORN OF HER. YAHUAH HERE MADE A BODY OUT OF (AND FROM) THE BODY OF THE VIRGIN MARY (MIRIAM). WITH EVE, YAHUAH MADE THE BODY OF A WOMAN FROM THE BODY (RIB) OF A MAN, BUT IN THE VIRGIN BIRTH, YAHUAH MADE THE BODY OF A MAN FROM THE BODY OF A VIRGIN WOMAN!
SIN ENTERED BY THE WOMAN EVE AND PASSED ONTO ALL MANKIND THROUGH THE MAN ADAM, SO YAHUAH USES A VIRGIN WOMAN TO BRING FORTH A SINLESS MAN, TO MAKE AN END OF SIN AND DEATH. THE BODY WAS FORMED FOR THE FIRST AND LAST ADAM.
BUT THERE IS THIS ETERNAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADAM AND YAHUSHA. HE WAS BORN SINLESS, WITH ONE HEAVENLY FATHER, BUT A HUMAN MOTHER. MARY (MIRIAM) WAS THE MOTHER OF HIS PHYSICAL FLESH AND BONE BODY, HIS HUMAN NATURE. BUT YAHUAH WAS THE FATHER OF HIS SPIRIT AND HIS DIVINE NATURE.
THIS IS THE ETERNAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SON AND THE MANY SONS HE BRINGS TO ESTEEM. WE HAVE BOTH EARTHLY AND HEAVENLY FATHERS - FIRST THE NATURAL BIRTH, THEN THE SPIRITUAL BIRTH! YAHUSHA PARTOOK OF HUMAN NATURE AND DEATH THAT WE MIGHT PARTAKE OF THE DIVINE ETERNAL LIFE!
AS MAN HE COULD SUFFER PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS, TRIALS, TEMPTATIONS, AND COULD SUFFER DEATH FOR SIN, ETC. BUT AS YAHUAH, HE COULD ATONE FOR SIN, AND REDEEM FROM DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. SO HE TOOK A PART, BUT NOT ALL. YAHUSHA TOOK THE HUMAN PART, BUT NOT THE SINFUL PART ... THE HUMAN FLESH, BUT NOT THE SINFUL BLOOD. ALL NATIONS ARE OF THAT ONE SINFUL BLOOD OF ADAM. ALL ARE BORN SINNERS. SINFUL FLESH MEANS THAT THERE IS SIN IN THE BLOODSTREAM.
IT IS ON THE TRUTH OF THE VIRGIN BIRTH THAT THE WHOLE PLAN OF REDEMPTION & DELIVERANCE HANGS, FOR IF YAHUSHA IS NOT THE VIRGIN-BORN SON OF YAHUAH, THERE IS NO DELIVERANCE AVAILABLE FOR ANY OF ADAM'S RACE, AND HE COULD NOT BE OUR MEDIATOR OR HIGH PRIEST. YAHUAH THE SON BECAME A MAN TO REDEEM MAN BACK TO YAHUAH THE FATHER. HE HAD TO BECOME MAN WITHOUT SIN TO ATONE FOR MAN IN SIN AND REDEEM HIM FROM SIN. THE FALL OF ADAM AND MANKIND IN ADAM NECESSITATED THE VIRGIN BIRTH.
HEB 1 REVEALS YAHUSHA AS YAHUAH AND HEB 2 HERE REVEALS YAHUSHA AS A MAN. MANKIND SINNED AND THEREFORE MANKIND MUST DIE. THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH. SIN MUST BE JUDGED AND ATONED FOR BY DEATH!
14 ... YAHUSHA did this so that, by dying, He could destroy the Devil, who has the power of death ...
YAHUSHA HAD TO BECOME A HUMAN BEING, FOR ONLY AS A MAN, COULD HE DIE, AND IN DYING, DESTROY HIM WHO HAD THE POWER OF DEATH. IF ADAM SINNED, THEN HE WOULD COME UNDER THE POWER OF THE DEVIL, FOR HE IS THE AUTHOR OF SIN, AND DEATH IS HIS POWER. HE IS THE TEMPTER TO SIN, AND SIN BRINGS FORTH DEATH. SO WITH THE ENTRANCE OF SIN CAME DEATH WHICH PASSED UPON ALL MAN. SO THE LAST ADAM MUST PASS THROUGH DEATH IN ORDER TO DESTROY THE POWER OF THE DEVIL.
THEREFORE YAHUSHA THE SON MUST HAVE A BODY AND BLOOD AS A MAN TO REDEEM MAN AND MAKE THE SACRIFICE FOR SIN! BUT BOTH THE BODY AND BLOOD MUST BE SINLESS AND INCORRUPTIBLE. BOTH THE BODY AND BLOOD MUST BE IMMORTAL! HE MUST HAVE SINLESS AND INCORRUPTIBLE BLOOD FOR THE ATONEMENT. THE LIFE OF THE FLESH IS IN THE BLOOD, AND ‘THE BLOOD WAS GIVEN FOR THE ATONEMENT OF THE BEING’.
IT MUST BE THROUGH YAHUSHA'S DEATH, NOT BY HIS LIFE, OR MINISTRY - ONLY THROUGH DEATH! HE MUST DIE! THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE DIED IN THE FIRST MAN, ADAM, WHO SOLD US OUT TO THE POWER OF DEATH. SO THE LAST ADAM MUST BRING DELIVERANCE FROM DEATH SO THAT HIS WORD IS FULFILLED. SIN MUST REAP ITS WAGES. THE PENALTY FOR SIN MUST BE PAID. SO YAHUAH THE SON TAKES THAT PENALTY IN HIMSELF BY BECOMING A HUMAN BEING AND GOING THROUGH DEATH.
AS FAR AS YAHUSHA IS CONCERNED DEATH HAS BEEN ABOLISHED IN HIS RESURRECTION. DEATH HAS NO MORE DOMINION OVER HIM. HE DIED ONCE AND DIES NO MORE. THEREFORE DEATH IS ANNULLED, MADE OF NO EFFECT, ABOLISHED. BUT AS FAR AS HIS NEW BRIDE ARE CONCERNED, THIS HAS YET TO BE FULLY EXPERIENCED PHYSICALLY. YES, WE INDEED TASTE THAT SPIRITUAL RESURRECTION FROM BEING `DEAD IN TRESPASSES AND SINS’, IN WHICH THE SPIRIT IS QUICKENED AND MADE ALIVE IN YAHUSHA, BUT PHYSICALLY THE BRIDE IS STILL UNDER THE SHADOW OF DEATH AND MUST FIGHT TO BECOME SET-APART - MATURED BY EXERCISING THE SEED.
AND THE TIME IS SOON COMING FOR THE LIVING BRIDE (AS WELL AS THE DEAD IN MESSIAH) WHEN RESURRECTION LIFE AND IMMORTALITY WILL BE EXPERIENCED IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE AT YAHUSHA’S RETURN. THEN DEATH WILL TRULY HAVE NO DOMINION OVER US. THIS LIVING BRIDE WILL PASS OVER FROM MORTAL (DEATH-DOOMED) INTO SPIRITUAL IMMORTALITY, OR ETERNAL LIFE. DEATH WILL HAVE LOST ITS STING, WHICH IS SIN, AND THE GRAVE WILL LOSE ITS VICTORY OVER THEM BECAUSE OF THIS CHANGE-OVER TRANSFORMATION.
15 ... YAHUSHA became like these people and died so that He could free them, for they’ve been like slaves all their lives because of their fear of death ...
SO ALTHOUGH WE WAIT FOR HIS RETURN TO BE TRULY RESURRECTED, TRANSFORMED AND CLEAN, THE LEGAL ASPECT AND POTENTIAL OF ALL THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED WHEN YAHUSHA DIED, AND BY ENTERING DEATH (WHICH IS THE REALM OF THE DEVIL'S POWER OVER MANKIND), HE CONQUERED HIM AND STRIPPED HIM OF THIS POWER AND STRENGTH. BY HIS RESURRECTION HE CONQUERED DEATH AND BROUGHT LIFE AND IMMORTALITY TO LIGHT THROUGH THIS GOOD NEWS. THE ONLY THING THAT CONQUERS DARKNESS IS LIGHT, AND THE ONLY CONQUEROR OF DEATH IS LIFE AND IMMORTALITY!
ARE YOU EXPERIENCING THIS POWER?
SIN, SICKNESS, DISEASE AND DEATH ARE ALL SLAVERY TO SATAN, FOR ADAM SOLD THE HUMAN RACE INTO SUCH BONDAGE. YAHUSHA CAME TO RESCUE HIS PEOPLE FROM EVERY BONDAGE OF SATAN INFLICTED. EGYPT IS SPOKEN OF AS ‘THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE´ FOR ISRAEL, BUT YAHUAH RESCUED THEM BY THE POWER OF THE PASSOVER LAMB. THE HUMAN RACE (APART FROM BEING IN YAHUSHA) IS SUBJECT TO SATAN'S SLAVERY.
16 ... For He didn’t take on the nature of Angels, but the nature of humans from the seed of Abraham ...
THE CHILDREN OF ADAM ARE PARTAKERS OF FLESH AND BLOOD, AND SO THE SON - YAHUSHA - TOOK PART OF THE SAME AND BECAME A HUMAN. YAHUSHA DIDN'T TAKE THE NATURE OF ANGELS BUT THE NATURE OF ABRAHAM'S SEED! HE DID NOT COME AS AN ANGEL, BUT AS A HUMAN BEING.
THERE IS A UNIVERSAL FEAR OF DEATH. 'IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MAN ONCE TO DIE, BUT AFTER DEATH THE JUDGMENT'. YAHUSHA HAS TAKEN THE FEAR OUT OF DEATH FOR HIS BRIDE AND DELIVERED HER FROM IT, SO IT'S NOT A STEP INTO THE DARK UNKNOWN FOR THE BRIDE, BUT INTO THE PRESENCE OF BEING WITH YAHUSHA AT HIS RETURN, WHICH IS FAR BETTER. THEREFORE 'THE DEATH OF HIS BRIDE IS PRECIOUS IN HIS EYES' (ESPECIALLY THE DEATH OF THE FLESHLY SELF), EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE LAST ENEMY TO BE DESTROYED.
SPIRITUAL AND LITERAL, HUMAN AND DIVINE, YAHUAH AND MAN CAME TOGETHER TO FORM ONE NEW CREATION. THIS IS YAHUSHA - THE DIVINE YAHUAH-MAN! THE ONLY CLEAN MAN BORN OF A WOMAN. HE IS SINLESS HUMANITY! YAHUSHA WAS THE SEED OF ABRAHAM (ACCORDING TO THE FLESH) AND HIS BRIDE, THE HEIRS AND MANY SONS BECOME PRIVILEGED TO BE A PART OF THAT NEW SPIRITUAL SEED (THAT ABRAHAM SHADOWED) BY GRAFTING INTO YAHUSHA THROUGH NEW BIRTH.
17 ... For this reason, YAHUSHA had to be made like us (His Brothers and Sisters) in every way, in order that He could be our compassionate and trustworthy High Priest in service to YAHUAH. Then He could bring atonement (forgiveness/ intimacy) for the people’s sins.
IN YAHUSHA AND HIS ASSEMBLY ARE THE SUPERNATURAL SEED OF ABRAHAM. SATAN HATES US FOR BEING NEW CREATIONS OF YAHUSHA AND SEEKS TO DESTROY US (OFTEN FROM WITHIN THE BRIDE) BUT YAHUAH ALWAYS PRESERVED A REMNANT SEED UNTO HIMSELF IN ORDER TO FULFIL HIS PURPOSES THROUGHOUT THE GENERATIONS.
HERE, PAUL INTRODUCES THE REAL HEART OF THIS LETTER - AND THAT IS THE SON AS OUR HIGH PRIEST! FOR THE LETTER OF HEBREWS IS TRULY THE GOOD NEWS OF YAHUSHA’S ETERNAL PRIESTHOOD. THIS IS THE DISTINCTIVE TRUTH OF HEBREWS, WHICH NO OTHER LETTER SETS FORTH IN SUCH MARVELLOUS MANNER!
WITHOUT DOUBT, MANY OF THE PRIESTS IN ISRAEL WERE AT TIMES COMPASSIONATE, BUT NOT TRUSTWORTHY AND OBEDIENT. OTHERS WERE OBEDIENT, BUT MERCILESS. BUT IN OUR HIGH PRIEST YAHUSHA, BOTH WERE DIVINELY BALANCED, AND IN PERFECT MOVEMENT AND HARMONY. TRUSTWORTHY AND OBEDIENT TO THE FATHER YAHUAH IN ALL HIS WORDS AND BEHAVIOUR, NOT VIOLATING THE LAW OR PROPHETS OR THE PROMISES OF YAHUAH BUT FULFILLING.
ATONEMENT IN THE OLD BLOOD-COVENANT MEANT `TO RECONCILE, TO COVER, OFFER, RECEIVE A SIN-OFFERING'. UNDER THE NEW COVENANT IT INCLUDES ALL THIS BUT SO MUCH MORE, FOR IT'S THE ACTUAL PUTTING AWAY AND CLEANSING OF SIN THROUGH DIVINE BLOOD-POWER. IT IS LITERALLY THE MERCY-SEAT! FORGIVENESS AND INTIMACY FOR THE SINS OF ADAM'S FALLEN RACE.
18 ... And now He can help those who are tried and tempted, because He Himself suffered through temptation and trial.
THE PRESENCE OF EVIL MUST HAVE CAUSED HIM UNTOLD SUFFERING, SUCH AS WE WHO ARE BORN IN SIN COULD NEVER KNOW OR UNDERSTAND. HE WAS TEMPTED BY THE DEVIL, THROUGHOUT ALL THE SEASONS OF HIS LIFE.
THE MERCY-SEAT IN HEAVEN IS THE PLACE OF RECONCILIATION TODAY. THIS IS THE RESULT! THIS IS YAHUSHA - THE YAHUAH-MAN, OUR HIGH PRIEST! HIS MINISTRY GREATER THAN ANGELS. NONE COULD AFFECT THE ATONEMENT. NONE COULD EXPIATE SIN. NO ANGEL COULD ASSUME A HUMAN BODY AND MAKE THE ATONEMENT!
HE WAS EVEN TEMPTED ON THE TORTURE-STAKE TO COME DOWN AND SAVE HIMSELF. HE WAS NEVER TEMPTED FROM WITHIN, FROM ANY INWARD LUSTS OF SIN, AS WE ARE SO TEMPTED. HE WAS SET-APART, HARMLESS, SINLESS AND PERFECT AND UNDEFILED. HE WAS TEMPTED FROM WITHOUT, FROM THE DEVIL, AND FALLEN MEN. YET HE NEVER YIELDED. TEMPTATION ITSELF IS NOT SIN. BUT YIELDING TO TEMPTATION IS! HE DEFEATED SATAN VICTORIOUSLY THROUGH THE WORD OF YAHUAH.
THE WORD HERE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE THEME OF THIS CHAPTER. THE FIRST MAN ADAM WAS PERFECT, PURE AND CLEAN, AND WITHOUT SIN WHEN HE WAS TEMPTED. LIKEWISE SO WAS THE TEMPTATION OF THE LAST ADAM.
THE FIRST AND LAST ADAM ARE THE ONLY TWO MEN WHO WERE EVER WITHOUT SIN AND EXPERIENCED TEMPTATION IN SUCH A STATE OF SINLESSNESS. ALL BORN OF ADAM'S RACE ARE BORN IN SIN, AND SO TEMPTATION IS NOW JACKED-UP TO A DIFFERENT LEVEL AS TIME PROGESSES.
SO BECAUSE YAHUSHA SUFFERED TEMPTATION, THEN HE KNOWS WHAT IT IS TO EXPERIENCE TESTING, TRIALS, AND TEMPTATIONS, AS A MAN. AND THEREFORE HE IS ABLE TO TO HELP AND ASSIST THOSE WHO ARE BEING TEMPTED.
SUMMARISE HEBREWS 2:
HEBREWS 1 REVEALS THAT THE SON IS BETTER THAN THE PROPHETS AND ANGELS AND HEBREWS 2 REVEALS THAT THE SON IS ALSO GREATER AND BETTER THAN THE FIRST MAN, ADAM - BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS AND WHAT HE DOES! IN HEBREWS 1 YAHUSHA IS YAHUAH AND IN HEBREWS 2 HE IS A MAN! THE YAHUAH-MAN! DEITY UNITED WITH HUMANITY - SON OF YAHUAH YET SON OF MAN - HUMAN YET DIVINE - ETERNITY AS YAHUAH, BORN IN TIME AS A MAN. BOTH YAHUSHA AS YAHUAH AND YAHUSHA AS A MAN - IS BETTER THAN ANGELS!
THESE TWO CHAPTERS ARE ABSOLUTELY VITAL AS A FOUNDATION FOR ALL THAT FOLLOWS BY PAUL. FOR IT IS ON THE TRUTH OF ALL THESE THINGS THAT THE WHOLE OF OUR DELIVERANCE DEPENDS. YAHUSHA CAME AS A MAN TO DELIVER US FROM THE SLAVERY OF SIN AND DEATH ! HE RAISED UP A NEW COVENANT WITH ALL NATIONS IN HIS OWN BLOOD, THE FINAL SACRIFICIAL POWER NEEDED TO OVERCOME EVIL !
The thing most teachers don’t realise is that when Messiah said “IT IS FINISHED”, it meant His ministry of fulfilling all prophecy about Himself was completed! This was the closing of the Old Covenant with Israel and her divorce, and the opening of the New Covenant with Messiah’s Marriage to His NEW WIFE called ‘THE BRIDE’. Of course every word of the Old Covenant shadow-teachings are vital and most useful to lead us to Messiah Yahusha and His New Bride in Covenant. The relationship with Israel is finished and that Old-Covenant is closed to the Bride now.
Today Israel (whoever they are) is claiming to be His Bride, which is total lies and nonsense. They are still able to enter His Reign though (as all nations are) if they repent and engraft into the New Covenant through Yahusha's Perfect Blood.
THE SAME PERFECT DIVINE SEED THAT MATURED THE INFANT YAHUSHA INTO ADULT AND GAVE HIM THE STRENGTH TO SUFFER, DIE, RISE AND ASCEND ON HIGH ... IS THE SAME INCORRUPTIBLE SEED SOWN INTO HIS BRIDE ... STILL TODAY ... IT IS DONE ... IT IS FINISHED ... HE DIED FOR HIS BRIDE AND MADE INTIMACY AVAILABLE ONCE AGAIN ... BUT IS SHE WILLING TO DIE FOR HIM AND IN TURN RUN TO HIM AND PARTAKE OF THAT BLOOD-INTIMACY OF DELIVERANCE ... OR ARE THE WORKS AND FRUITS AND HABITS AND GAMES AND ADDICTIONS OF THE DEVIL JUST TOO DAMN IMPORTANT TO HER LIFE ????
BEWARE - THE DARNEL TARES ARE SOWN IN AMONG US (BY THE DEVIL) - THEY LOOK LIKE US - SPEAK LIKE US - BUT THEIR FRUIT (BEHAVIOUR) IS ROTTEN!! THEY REFUSE TO MATURE INTO THE HEAD - REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROMISES OF THE NEW COVENANT - AND SEEK TO PEDDLE THEIR OWN AGENDAS FOR COIN AND LEGACY - PROMOTING AN OLD POWERLESS COVENANT, BASED ON LESSER PROMISES AND WITHOUT YAHUSHA'S PRECIOUS BLOOD OF DELIVERANCE !!
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE AND REPENT !!
