10 Alahim is always fair and remembers how you helped His people in the past and how your labours of love, still helping them now. You belong to Yahusha, and He won't forget the love and attention you've shown to His Name.
11We wish each of you would always be eager to show how strong and lasting your hope really is.
12 Then you won't be lazy or sluggish, but will be following the example of those who had belief, and were patient until they inherited Yahuah's promises to them.
13 No one is greater than Alahim. So He made a promise in His own Name when He said to Abraham,
14 “I, YAHUAH, will bless you with many descendants!”
15 Then after Abraham had been very patient, he was given what Alahim had promised.
16When anyone in society wants to settle an argument, they make a vow by using the name of someone or something greater than themselves.
17 So when Alahim wanted to prove for certain that His promise to His people could not be broken, He made a vow too.
18 Alahim can't tell lies, so His promise and vow are two things that can never be changed. And we've now run to Him for refuge, so His promises should greatly encourage us to take hold of the hope that is right in front of us.
19 For this hope is like a firm and steady anchor for our lives. In fact, this hope reaches beyond the veil into the Ark ...
20 where Yahusha has gone ahead of us, as our High Priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
10 Alahim is always fair and remembers how you helped His people in the past and your labors of love, still helping them now. You belong to Yahusha, and He won't forget the love and attention you've shown to His Name.
LABORS OF LOVE
1 THESS 1:3 "Remembering without ceasing your work of belief, and labours of love, and patience of hope in our Master Yahusha Messiah".
REV 2:2 "I know your works, and your labour, and your patience, and how you can't stand those who are evil and have tried those who say they're Disciples (but aren't) and have found them to be liars".
LOVING-KINDNESS IS THE DIVINE (SUPERNATURAL) NATURE WITHIN THE BRIDE, AND IT MUST ACCOMPANY ALL OF OUR WORKS, PROJECTS,
(AND `TORAH-KEEPING') ...
YAHUSHA'S NEW COMMAND OF LOVE!
- REMINDING THE PEOPLE OF THE TRUE LIFE AND SPIRIT WITHIN THE LIVING WORDS AND COMMANDS.
IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO OPERATE IN LOVE THEN DON'T OPERATE AT ALL !!
- ATTENTION TO HIS NAME -IS TO HIM!
- YAHUSHA'S NAME IS HIM!
- HOW WE TREAT OTHERS IS HOW WE
TREAT YAHUSHA (ie 2 COMMANDS)!
- ALL WORKS AND BEHAVIOUR IS FOR
YAHUSHA AND UNTO HIM ... FOR HE
IS THE HEAD AND WE ARE THE BODY.
11We wish each of you would always be eager to show how strong and lasting your hope really is.
12 Then you won't be lazy or sluggish, but will be following the example of those before who had belief, and were patient until they inherited Yahuah's promises to them.
BELIEF & PATIENCE
- ABRAHAM HAD BELIEF BUT WAS
IMPATIENT ... SO WAS ISAAC,
SO WAS MOSES !
OUR INHERITANCE IS INCORRUPTIBLE, FOR IT IS LIFE ETERNAL AND CAN BE TASTED HERE & NOW AND WORN LIKE A CROWN IF WE RUN OUR RACE AND OVERCOME THE WORLD AND IT'S WAYS.
13 No one is greater than Alahim. So He made a promise in His own Name when He said to Abraham,
14“I, YAHUAH, will bless you with many descendants!”
15Then after Abraham had been very patient, he was given what Alahim had promised. (ISAAC - ONLY SON - SACRIFICE IMAGERY - WIFE)
ABRAHAM'S SEED
- AS THE FATHER OF THE HEBREWS, THE NAME OF ABRAHAM WAS OF UPMOST IMPORTANCE TO THE JEWS.
- THE BOOK OF HEBREWS IS ALL ABOUT THE NEW MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD AND PAUL IS ABOUT TO GO RIGHT INTO DEEPLY EXPLAINING THIS MYSTERIOUS PERSON ... SO NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO BRING UP ABRAHAM... WHO MET HIM!
- THE JEWS/YISHARAL (Y.O / H.R) BOAST
OF BEING ABRAHAM'S SEED, YET THEY
REFUSE TO LEAVE THE LEVITICAL
SYSTEM OF HIDDEN SHADOWS AND
CARNAL, LITERAL TORAH, LETTER OF
SIN AND DEATH ... FOR THEIR LINEAGE
IS MERELY FLESHLY AND NOT OF DIVINE
WATER AND THE SPIRIT (SUPERNATURAL)...
- YET THE ONLY KING AND PRIEST,
SYSTEM, ORDER AND REIGN THAT
ABRAHAM WAS OBSESSED WITH WAS
THAT OF MELCHIZEDEK (YAHUSHA AL),
FOR HE SOUGHT THE CITY WHO'S
FOUNDATION AND BUILDER WAS
ALAHIM HIMSELF ... NOT LITERAL LAND.
(ABRAHAM COULD HAVE TAKEN ANY LAND !!)
YAHUAH CALLED HIMSELF THE ALAHIM OF ABRAHAM AND ISAAC AND JACOB ... MEANING THERE WERE NO COVENANT PROMISES OR BLESSING OUTSIDE OF THIS HEBREW BLOODLINE (UNLESS ONE WAS GRAFTED IN) . . . YET :
GALATIANS 3:27 "For as many of you as have been immersed into Messiah have put on Messiah. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, neither bond nor free, neither male or female, for you are all one in Messiah Yahusha. 29And if you are Yahusha's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise".
( NEW BLOOD COVENANT FOR ALL )
TO BE `IN MESSIAH' IS TO BE ABRAHAM'S SEED AND THEREFORE WE FOLLOW THE ONLY PRIESTHOOD THAT MEANT ANYTHING TO ABRAHAM:
MELCHIZEDEK !!
* OLD COVENANT THROUGH ABRAHAM
LIFTED UP WITH BREAD & WINE AND ANIMAL BLOOD, CIRCUMCISION AND DIVINE FIRE! (DOVE IMAGERY)
* NEW COVENANT THROUGH YAHUSHA
LIFTED UP WITH BREAD & WINE AND
NEW PURE BLOOD, DIVINE HEART OPERATION AND DIVINE FIRE TONGUES!
(DOVE IMAGERY)
JOHN THE IMMERSER DECLARED THAT
"THE AXE IS BEING LAID AT THE ROOT OF THE TREE", AND FROM THIS AXED HEBREW-ROOT YAHUSHA WAS BORN, YET HE WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT ALL TOGETHER, FOR HE WAS THE SEED OF ABRAHAM IN IS FLESH AND BONES, YET BY DIVINE BLOOD HE WAS A NEW HEAVENLY CREATION ... ALAHIM-MAN!!
SO WE ARE NO LONGER GRAFTED-IN TO A HEBREW-ROOTED OLD COVENANT OF ANIMAL BLOOD AND TORAH OF SIN AND DEATH ... BUT WE ARE GRAFTED INTO A YAHUSHA-ROOTED NEW COVENANT OF HIS BLOOD AND THE TORAH OF SPIRIT, LIFE AND LOVE (THE STILL-SOFT SUPERNATURAL VOICE WITHIN THE TORAH) ON WHICH ALL OLDER PROPHETS AND INSTRUCTIONS HANG ... AS THE COMPLETED FULFILLMENT OF EVERYTHING ABRAHAM, MOSES AND DAVID WERE INSTRUCTED AND PROMISED!
SO PAUL TAKES THIS COVENANT-MAKING INCIDENT FROM ABRAHAM'S LIFE AND BASES EVERYTHING HE WANTS TO SAY ABOUT MELCHIZEDEK FROM IT. HE ALSO USED THE FAMOUS PS110 OF DAVID FOR THIS SAME PURPOSE:
TO REVEAL WHO YAHUSHA ACTUALLY IS!
ALAHIM!
16When anyone in society wants to settle an argument, they make a vow by using the name of someone or something greater than themselves.
17So when Alahim wanted to prove for certain that His promise to His people could not be broken, He made a vow (oath) too.
PROMISE & VOW
WHEN MAN MAKES AN OATH HE IS CALLING ON SOMEONE GREATER THAN HIMSELF TO FORCE THE OTHER TO DO WHAT THEY'VE PROMISED OR TO PUNISH THEM IF THEY LATER REFUSE TOO. THE OATH ENDS ALL ARGUMENTS!
- IMMUTABLITY (CAN'T BE BROKEN)
- ALAHIM'S WORD NEVER CHANGES!
- MAN CAN NULL & VOID THE PROMISE
- ALAHIM'S OATHS WERE CONFIRMED
BY HIMSELF, AS NO OTHER ENTITY
WOULD DO - HE INTERPOSED IN!
- INSERTED HIMSELF IN BY A VOW!
- ABRAHAM'S PROMISES CONFIRMED
FINALLY BY YAHUAH'S VOWS AFTER
ABRAHAM PASSED THE TEST (ISAAC).
- YAHUAH ACTUALLY MADE THE
PROMISE, THEN PUT HIMSELF IN AS
MEDIATOR TO SEAL THE DEAL.
(FLAMING TORCH BETWEEN SACRIFICES)
18Alahim can't tell lies, so His promise and vow are two things that can never be changed. And we've now run to Him for refuge, so His promises should greatly encourage us to take hold of the hope that is right in front of us.
CITY OF REFUGE !
TWO IMMUTEABLE, UNCHANGEABLE THINGS ARE :
1. ALAHIM'S WORD
2. ALAHIM'S VOW AS CONFIRMATION
BUT YAHUAH CAN STILL METAMORPH & CHANGE WITHIN THE CONFINES OF HIS LIVING WORD ... WHO HE IS !
ABRAHAM WAS THE FIRST MAN TO EVER RECEIVE A COVENANT PROMISE FROM ALAHIM THAT WAS ACTUALLY CONFIRMED BY HIMSELF AS THE VOW AND MEDIATOR! WHICH MEANT THAT THE PROMISE WOULD NEVER BE BROKEN :
BUT DIDN'T HE BREAK IT?
DIDN'T HE DIVORCE?
DIDN'T HE CHANGE?
ALAHIM DID KEEP HIS PROMISE TO HIS FRIEND ABRAHAM ... BUT IT WAS NOT THROUGH THE NATURAL LINEAGE, BLOODLINE & TRIBAL ANCESTRY OF THE 12 TRIBES OF YISHARAL, WITH IT'S ANIMAL SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM, NATURAL JERUSALEM, TEMPLE AND LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD ... YET THROUGH ABRAHAM ALL THE EARTH IS BLESSED ... FOR WHO CAME FROM ABRAHAM'S LOINS?
ALAHIM HIMSELF .... YAHUSHA !
ABRAHAM SAW YAHUSHA - HIS DAY!
ABRAHAM'S PROMISED LAND AND A HOME OF HIS OWN FOR HIS SEED (AS MANY AS ARE STARS IN THE SKY) IS FOUND IN THE SUPERNATURAL CHANGE-OVER TO THE REIGN OF HEAVEN, WHERE YAHUAH LEFT HIS THRONE, TRANSFORMED & USHERED IN THE LIFE-BLOOD COMPONENT OF HIS PROMISE TO ABRAHAM, MOSES, DAVID etc THROUGH HIMSELF AGAIN! AND NOW ALL NEW BLOOD, WATER- IMMERSED AND HEART-OPERATED BRIDAL-BELIEVERS (THE TRUE NEW AND SUPERNATURAL YISHARAL) MAY BE JOINED TO HIM THROUGH A NEW AND LIVING COVENANT THROUGH HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION AND MARRIAGE ... YES HE ALLOWS HIS OLD BRIDE BACK AGAIN BUT ONLY THOSE WHO REPENT AND COME HIS WAY! )
WE'VE NOW RUN TO HIM FOR REFUGE!
- OLD CITIES OF REFUGE
- FOR MAN-SLAUGHTER
- ESCAPE THE AVENGER OF BLOOD
- AS A NATION YISHARAL WAS
IGNORANT IN YAHUSHA'S DEATH
- YAHUSHA IS THE CITY OF REFUGE!
- YAHUSHA IS THE HIGH PRIEST
- YAHUSHA IS THE SACRIFICE ALSO!
- BUT FOR INTENTIONAL MURDER
- WILL YAHUSHA BE KILLED AGAIN?
- NO CITY, REFUGE, PRIEST, SACRIFICE
- MET BY THE AVENGER OF BLOOD
- STEPHEN DID NOT CALL THE JEWISH
SANHEDREN IGNORANT BUT
BETRAYERS AND MURDERERS, AND
THIS IS WHY THEY STONED HIM FOR
THEY UNDERSTOOD HIS
ACCUSATION PERFECTLY:
THEY WERE TO BE MET BY THE AVENGER OF BLOOD AND KINSMAN REDEEMER FOR THEIR CRIMES AGAINST THE
SON OF ALAHIM !!
VENGEANCE IS MINE!
VENGEANCE BEGAN WHEN THE LAMB OPENED THE SCROLLS ... AND WILL BE COMPLETE AT YAHUSHA'S RETURN.
19 For this hope is like a firm and steady anchor for our lives.
A MAN-SLAYER'S ONLY HOPE WAS TO MAKE IT TO THE CITY OF REFUGE BEFORE THE VICTIM'S FAMILY FOUND OUT AND CAME TO AVENGE BLOOD.
- WE SEEK TO ESCAPE DEATH AND
JUDGMENT THROUGH YAHUSHA'S
PROCESS OF TRANSFORMATION
WITHIN US ...
- SUCH A BEATIFUL PICTURE FOR US!
- THIS HOPE IS AN ANCHOR
- THE ANCHOR ALWAYS HOLDS
- YAHUSHA IS IN THE BOAT WITH US!
- THE CABLE IS HIS PROMISE & WORD
- THE SHIP IS OUR BEING & LIFE
- THE SEA IS THE RESTLESS WORLD
OUR ANCHOR
19 For this hope is like a firm and steady anchor for our lives. In fact, this hope reaches beyond the veil into the Ark,
20 where Yahusha has gone ahead of us, as our High Priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
BEYOND THE VEIL
- NO ONE PERMITED BEYOND VEIL
- NO YISHARALITE EVER COULD SEE
- VEIL IS RENT - THE WAY MADE OPEN
- THESE SHADOWS ALWAYS REFERS US
TO THE SUPERNATURAL SHEKINAH
PRESENCE AND ANOINTING OF
ALAHIM .
- ALL RITUALS AND TORAH PROTOCOL
WAS TO ENSURE THAT YAHUAH WAS
IN THEIR MIDST .... BUT NOW
YAHUSHA'S BLOOD HAS ENSURED
THAT ... SO WHY THE SHADOWS?
- ALL SHADOWS ARE BEHAVIOUR!
YAHUSHA HAS GONE AHEAD OF US, SHOWN US THE WAY TO WALK AND BEHAVE (THROUGH THE FEASTS) AND THEN ASCENDED TO REIGN ON HIGH IN THE THRONE OF ALAHIM ALMIGHTY IN ALL POWER AND ESTEEM. THE ARK WAS MERELY A SHADOW OF HEAVEN'S THRONE, YET WAS THE MOST PRECIOUS OF FURNITURE AND GREAT FEAR SURROUNDED IT ... RIGHTLY SO!
YAHUSHA IS THE FIRSTFRUIT, GOING AHEAD OF US TO LEAD THE WAY. A NEW REVELATION GIVEN BY PAUL (UNKNOWN BY MOST OTHERS AT THE TIME!) THE PROCESS OF TRANSFORMING FROM YAHUAH TO YAHUSHA AND THE EXAMPLE WE MUST ALL FOLLOW ...
PAUL BRINGS THE CONVERSATION BACK TO MELCHIZEDEK ONCE AGAIN, SINCE THIS IS THE THEME OF THE ENTIRE LETTER ... A BEING WHO CAME THROUGH THE VEIL INTO FLESH (WITHOUT THE HELP OF ANY LEVITE/AARON PRIESTHOOD) ... MET WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE OF OLD ... THEN ENTERED THE WOMB OF A WOMAN AND COMPLETELY TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE-DOWN WITH HIS REVOLUTIONARY IDEAS AND RADICAL LOVING BEHAVIOUR.
