Shalom.  Our teaching from Torah, The Law of Moses will continue from Numbers 11.26-35.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, THE FATHER AND THE MESSIAH BEING ONE ARE THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH.

And with that said, let’s read Numbers 11.26-35.

Eldad and Medad were written with the seventy elders of Israel who received The Holy Spirit but rather than go to the Tabernacle, they remained in the camp and prophesied.

And Joshua the servant of Moses said to Moses, Forbid them from prophesying.  But Moses answered, Would GOD that all The LORD’S People were Prophets, and The LORD would put His Spirit, that is His Holy Spirit on them.

The Holy Spirit is The Spirit of Truth.

And The Holy Spirit guides you into all Truth, as The Holy Spirit guided the seventy elders of Israel to assist Moses.

The LORD requires His servants to live according to Truth, and teach Truth.

The Truth is every Word GOD speaks in The Bible.

And The Truth includes GOD’S Law of Moses that is written in the first five books of The Bible.

That is the foundation of the Word of GOD.

Truth is the spoken Word of GOD.

To do the work of the LORD in truth, the servant of GOD must have the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth to guide you into all truth, and teach you the truth.

The seventy elders of Israel were given The Holy Spirit by GOD to live by The Truth, and assist Moses with the burden of some three million People in accordance to GOD’S Laws and Rules that are written in The Law of Moses.  GOD would have it no other way.

Peter said, The Holy Spirit is given to those who obey GOD.

Obeying GOD is receiving Messiah Yeshua for your Atonement, and living by every Law, Teaching, and Instruction of GOD that is written in His Law of Moses.

That is how you receive The Holy Spirit.  And that is how you retain The Holy Spirit.  JOHN 16.13, JOHN 17.17, ACTS 5.32, LUKE 4.4, DEUTERONOMY 8.3

Let’s return to Numbers 11.

And The LORD brought forth a wind in the wilderness that brought forth quails from the sea.  Small, plump birds.  And they fell by the camp.  And there were so many birds that they were stacked three feet high.  It would take a day’s journey just to see all the quails that GOD gave the people to eat, from one end of the camp to the other.

They that gathered the least birds, gathered about sixty to a hundred bushels of birds.  But when the people cooked the quails and began chewing them, the wrath of GOD was kindled against them.  The LORD struck the People with a very great plague because they complained against The LORD Who freed them from Egyptian slavery, complaining and weeping that they did not have meat to eat.

And they buried the People in a place called KEEV’ROTE HA’TAH’AH’VAH meaning the grave of lust. Because the People lusted for meat.

Patience is necessary in life.  And patience is required in our walk with The LORD, Messiah Yeshua.  LUKE 21.19

When we exercise patience, we don’t give into complaining and doing stuff that might upset The LORD YOUR GOD.

Patience requires trusting in GOD ALMIGHTY, and knowing and believing that He will solve your problem or problems in peace.

You Take control of your life by trusting in The LORD for everything, rather than complaining and having your life spiral out of control.

Trust in Hebrew is BAH’TAKH meaning to Hide For Protection, be Confident, Sure, Secure, and to Rely on GOD. And Depend on Him for deliverance.  ISAIAH 26.3-4, ISAIAH 12.2, 2 KINGS 18.1, 5-7, PSALM 30.10, PSALM 31.19, PSALM 56.3-4, PSALM 57.1-2

And the People continued their journey to the promised land.

Let’s examine the Title of this morning’s teaching.

THE FATHER AND THE MESSIAH YESHUA BEING ONE ARE THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH.

THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD. MARK 12.29, DEUTERONOMY 6.4, GENESIS 1.2-3

AND THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT THE SON, THE MESSIAH YESHUA IS THE MIGHTY GOD, AND HE IS THE EVERLASTING FATHER.  ISAIAH 9.6, HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5, PROVERBS 30.4

AND MESSIAH CONFIRMS THAT HE IS THE FATHER BY HIS WORDS IN JOHN 12.45 AND JOHN 14.9

AND THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT THE FATHER AND THE MESSIAH YESHUA ARE THE HOLY SPIRIT.  JOHN 14.23, JOHN 20.22

(JOHN 14.23)  “We” will come into him and make our abode with him.  “We” are The Father and The Messiah Yeshua, THE ONE GOD Who are The Holy Spirit Who takes up residence in you.

MESSIAH YESHUA IS THE FATHER, GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM.

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD.  YESHUA THE MESSIAH IS THAT ONE GOD.

And, as Messiah says in this verse, to receive The Holy Spirit, you must keep His Words.  You must observe and obey every Word He speaks.  Including obedience to His Law of Moses.

(JOHN 20.22)  MESSIAH YESHUA, THE FATHER, GOD ALMIGHTY GIVES US THE HOLY SPIRIT.

But man teaches in the trinity that Messiah Yeshua is the second person of the godhead, or a different god.  That is not true.  Nor is it Biblical.

MESSIAH YESHUA IS THE GODHEAD.  HE IS HA SHEM, THE ALMIGHTY GOD.

The GODHEAD is the nature of GOD, THE ALMIGHTY.

AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT THE THIRD PERSON OF THE GODHEAD OR ANOTHER GOD.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD ALMIGHTY, THE FATHER, YESHUA THE MESSIAH.

The trinity is a bad invention of men who have no understanding of GOD.

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD.

MESSIAH YESHUA AND THE FATHER ARE THAT ONE GOD. AND THESE TWO ARE THE HOLY SPIRIT.

We are privileged to read in The Bible the Words that Messiah Yeshua spoke to The Father in John 17.

And those Words are Truth.

JOHN 17.1  Yeshua The Messiah is on earth speaking to The Father in Heaven.  Yet The Father and Messiah are both the ONE GOD.

Jeremiah 23.24 teaches us that The Spirit of GOD fills Heaven and earth.

Meaning GOD is present everywhere at the same time.

Likewise, GOD in physical form can be in different places at the same time.  As He was on earth speaking to The Father in Heaven.

HOW CAN GOD DO THAT?  GOD CAN DO THAT BECAUSE HE IS GOD.  GOD HAS NO LIMITATIONS.  GOD IS NOT A MAN WHO HAS LIMITATIONS.

YOU MUST KNOW AND BELIEVE GOD, AND UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD.  THAT THE FATHER, THE MESSIAH AND THE SPIRIT ARE THAT ONE GOD.  ISAIAH 43.10, GENESIS 19.24, PSALM 110.1, ISAIAH 48.16-17, ZECHARIAH 14.1-5

JOHN 17.2-3  Messiah Yeshua has power over all humanity because Messiah Yeshua is GOD ALMIGHTY.

To know GOD is to have knowledge of GOD and an understanding of GOD.  That GOD requires all mankind to fear Him, to walk in all His Ways, to love Him with all your heart, and keep His Commandments.  That is all His Laws that are written in The Law of Moses.

And to know and believe that there is only ONE GOD.  And that Yeshua The Messiah is that one GOD Whom The Father sent.

When you know and believe that, you have eternal life. And that is knowing GOD, and knowing what GOD requires of you. DEUTERONOMY 10.12-13

JOHN 17.4-5  Messiah Yeshua is GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM Who has no beginning and no end.  He has always been.

And Messiah was fully human when He gave His Life to be our Atonement.  That was the finished work that The Father gave Messiah to do.  MICAH 5.2, HEBREW BIBLE MICAH 5.1

The Ruler of Israel, born in Bethlehem, has no beginning and no end.  He is Messiah Yeshua, GOD ALMIGHTY.

JOHN 17.6  Important Truth is that the People of GOD keep The Word of GOD.

They hold fast to GOD’S Word of Truth that includes His Law of Moses.  And obey it along with their faith in Messiah Yeshua for Atonement.

Those people are the Family of GOD.

JOHN 17.7-8  The People of GOD receive The Word of GOD. They live by The Word of GOD, and teach The Truth of The Word of GOD.

The People of GOD receive GOD’S Law of Moses, and do it because we are Commanded by GOD to do it.  And GOD’S Law is our delight.

And the People of GOD know, believe, and understand that there is only ONE GOD.

And Messiah Yeshua is that ONE GOD Whom The Father sent.

JOHN 17.9-10  Messiah only prays for the Family of GOD.

He does not pray for the world.

The world does not know GOD, nor does the world understand GOD.

And GOD is glorified and honored in The Family of GOD.

But The Almighty is not glorified by those who teach and believe in the trinity.

Nor is The LORD honored by those who teach and believe the lie that Christ did away with The Law of Moses at His death.

JOHN  17.11  Messiah prayed to The Father to keep and protect the Family of GOD.  That we shall be ONE with GOD in agreement and deed in all that GOD requires of us.  And that is to hear The Word of GOD, and do it.  LUKE 8.21

That is the only way you can have a relationship with Yeshua the Messiah, THE LORD YOUR GOD.

JOHN 17.12-13  Messiah kept all who are predestined to be in the Family of GOD.  None is lost but Judas Iscariot that the Scripture may be fulfilled.  He turned against Messiah. PSALM 41.9

And we can have complete joy in this world having our sins forgiven in Messiah Yeshua.  Living by Torah, The Law of Moses.  And Trusting The LORD OUR GOD with all our heart. And be blessed.

JOHN 17.14  The world hates us because we keep The Word of GOD and The Law of Moses.

Thus we are not of the world even as Messiah is not of the world.  The world rejects GOD.  They reject His Word and His Law.

JOHN 17.15-17  Messiah prayed to The Father, asking Him to protect The Family of GOD from evil.  And sanctify us.  That is, make us Holy through The Truth.

The People of GOD receive The Truth, and do it.

JOHN 17.18-19  We are sent into the world by GOD ALMIGHTY, YESHUA THE MESSIAH to be His witnesses and His servants whom He has chosen.

That The LORD IS GOD, and beside Him there is no Savior. And we are sanctified by living according to Truth.

GOD’S Word is Truth.  ISAIAH 43.11

JOHN 17.20-21  Being ONE with GOD The Messiah is having the Mind of Messiah.  Living by The Word of Truth to be ONE with GOD.  That the world may know that The Father sent Messiah.  1 CORINTHIANS 2.16

JOHN 17.22-23  MESSIAH IN US IS THE HOLY SPIRIT IN US.

AND THE FATHER IN MESSIAH MAKES US PERFECT IN ONE.

And that GOD loves you as He loves Messiah.  And Messiah is GOD.

Thus GOD loves Himself because He loves Messiah Yeshua Who Himself is GOD.

And GOD teaches us to love ourselves also.  Not in pride. But as in the Commandment of GOD to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.  LEVITICUS 19.18

THUS WHEN YOU LIVE BY GOD’S WORD, AND HIS WORD IS TRUTH, HAVING ATONEMENT IN THE  MESSIAH YESHUA, YOU ARE CHOSEN BY GOD,  YOU ARE THE ELECT OF GOD.  AND YOU ARE IN THE FAMILY OF GOD.  AND YOU WILL SPEND ETERNITY WITH GOD IN HEAVEN.  HOW SPECIAL IS THAT?

JOHN 17.24-26  For eternity, we will be with GOD, and we will see His Glory, His Magnificence.  For Messiah is loved by The Father before the Creation.

The world does not know GOD but Messiah knows GOD because He is GOD.

But those who live by the Truth of GOD do know that the secret things belong to The LORD OUR GOD.

But those things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we should do all the Words of the Law of Moses.  DEUTERONOMY 29.29, HEBREW BIBLE DEUTERONOMY 29.28

And the love that The Father has for Messiah, that same love is in us.  Because we have the fullness of GOD in Messiah Who is The Holy Spirit.

Shalom.  Our teaching this morning continues from Torah, The Law of Moses.  The Spoken Word of The LORD from Numbers 11.16-25.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR TEACHING IS, THE PROMISES THAT GOD SWORE BY OATH TO GIVE THE LAND OF ISRAEL TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE.  AND THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH WHICH IS THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDES US INTO ALL TRUTH.

WHAT IS TRUTH?

And with that said, let’s read Numbers 11.16-25.

The time of these events are around the first month of the second year after the Children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt by the powerful Hand of The Almighty GOD after four hundred years of slavery.  And they were in the wilderness of Sinai.

And the Children of Israel, and the mixed multitude of Gentiles among them, some three million people in all, complained because they did not have any meat to eat other than manna that was like bread that The LORD THEIR GOD rained down from Heaven for them to eat.

And because of their complaining, The Bible says, It displeased The LORD.  And His anger was kindled.  And the fire of The LORD burnt among them and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.  And the people cried to Moses.  And when Moses prayed to The LORD, the fire was quenched.

It’s far better to pray to The LORD about your problems than complain.

But the People complained again, saying, How wonderful it was in Egypt.  We had all the food we wanted.  And complaining about the manna that GOD gave them to eat. And because of their complaining, Moses became discouraged.

So he went to The LORD in prayer.

And he said, LORD, why have You afflicted Your servant that You lay this burden of all this People on me?  Have I conceived them?  Have I begotten them?  How shall I get meat for them to eat?  I’m not able to bear this people alone because it is too heavy for me.

And The LORD told Moses to gather to him seventy men of the elders of Israel and bring them to the Tabernacle of the Congregation.  And I will come down and talk with you there, and I will take of the Spirit which is upon you, and will put it upon them.  And they will bear the burden of the People with you so you will not bear it alone by yourself.

Of course GOD was speaking of The Holy Spirit that was upon Moses that GOD would put upon the seventy elders of Israel.  And Moses and the seventy elders would be filled with The Holy Spirit.

Let’s read NUMBERS 11.18-20.

GOD told Moses to tell the People to Sanctify themselves for tomorrow, for you will eat meat, not one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days, but for a whole month until it comes out of your nostrils and is loathsome to you.

Because you have despised The LORD Who is among you. And you have wept and complained before Him, saying, Why did we ever leave Egypt?

So I thought on those words that The LORD said to His People.  You have despised The LORD Who is among you. And have wept and complained before Him, saying, Why did we ever leave Egypt?

The word despise in Hebrew is MAH’AHS meaning to REJECT GOD, and REFUSE Him.  And that is being REPROBATE.

In GOD’s eyes, the People despised Him.  They despised Him because they did not believe Him.

They did not believe GOD’S promises that He not only would bring them out from under the burden of the Egyptians, He would bring them to a good land, and a large land flowing with milk and honey.  A fertile land of abundance.  The land of Israel.

And the People did not understand that GOD had established a unique and intimate relationship with them.  A relationship so close that GOD chose the Jewish People to be His People.

THAT GOD IS THE GOD OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

AND GOD MARRIED THE JEWISH PEOPLE, AND ADOPTED THEM.

And GOD promised to bring His People into the Land which He swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob for an inheritance.

But many of the people did not believe GOD’S promises for them.

GOD IS ISRAEL’S HUSBAND.

GOD IS THE HUSBAND OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE.  ISAIAH 54.5-17, HOSEA 2.19-20, HEBREW BIBLE HOSEA 2.21-22

(Hosea 2.19-20, H. Hosea 2.21-22)  Betroth in Hebrew is AH’RAHS meaning, to espouse a woman. That is to marry her.

Think on the marriage supper of The Lamb.  REVELATION 19.7-9

The marriage supper of the Lamb is the Feast and Celebration and Wedding of the LORD and the Jewish People along with the elect of the Gentiles.

And the Wedding and Celebration will take place in Israel, in the Kingdom of GOD on earth when the LORD GOD, MESSIAH YESHUA returns from Heaven.

AND GOD HAS ADOPTED THE JEWISH PEOPLE.  EXODUS 4.22, ROMANS 9.1-5

The GOD OF ISRAEL has made so many wonderful Promises with His Jewish People.  Thus the LORD felt His People despised Him because they did not believe His Word.  They did not believe His Promises.

Let’s look at some of those extraordinary Promises that GOD swore by oath to the Jewish People to give them the Land of Israel for an everlasting possession.

When The LORD took Abraham out of the Gentiles some 4,000 years ago to create a People for Himself, the Jewish People, GOD promised Abraham to make of him a Great Nation, and bless him, and make his name great.  GENESIS 12.1-7

That He is the GOD of Abraham, and the GOD of Abraham’s descendants, the Jewish People.

And to give to Abraham and his descendants, the Jewish People the land of Canaan for an everlasting possession. and GOD will be their GOD. GENESIS 17.1-8

The LORD told Moses, I have come down from Heaven to deliver the Children of Israel out of the hand of the Egyptians, and bring them up to a Land flowing with milk and Honey.  EXODUS 3.1-10, EXODUS 6.2-9,

And the LORD brought the Children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, as He promised.

And told Moses, There is One Law for the Israelite and the stranger that sojourns among you. EXODUS 12.49-51

Yeshua the Messiah said, For Salvation is of the Jews.  JOHN 4.22

And Moses said to the People, Remember this day in which you came out from the house of bondage by the strength of the Hand of the LORD.

You shall keep the Passover throughout your generations. EXODUS 13.1-7

And the LORD told the People, You shall keep all My Statutes and all My Judgments, and do them.  That the Land where I bring you does not vomit you out.  LEVITICUS 20.22-26

Do not sell the Land or surrender it for any reason forever. LEVITICUS 25.23

And the LORD told Moses to search out the Land which I give to the Children of Israel.  NUMBERS 13.1-3

And Joshua and Caleb, two of the twelve who searched out the Land told the Congregation of the Children of Israel, The Land that the LORD has given to us is an exceedingly good Land that flows with milk and honey.  NUMBERS 14.7-9

In the land of Moab, on the other side of the Jordan River, just prior to entering The Promised Land, Moses began to teach the Children of Israel GOD’S Laws, Statutes and Commandments that are written in the Law of Moses.

And Moses said to the People, Go in and possess the Land which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to give to them, and their descendants after them. DEUTERONOMY 1.5-8

As GOD commanded, Moses taught the People GOD’S Laws that are written in the Law of Moses, to do them.  That the days of their lives, and their children, and their children’s children will be prolonged.  And that it will be will with you. DEUTERONOMY 6.1-7

That you may know that all humanity does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the Mouth of the LORD does every person live.  DEUTERONOMY 8.1-11

Yeshua the Messiah says, For Salvation is of the Jews.  JOHN 4.22

When we cried to the LORD GOD OF OUR FATHERS, the LORD heard our voice and brought us out from Egypt with a mighty Hand, and with an outstretched arm, and awesome power, and with sign and wonders.  DEUTERONOMY 26.7-11

And Moses told the People, If you obey the LORD YOUR GOD to observe faithfully all His Commandments and Laws, the LORD YOUR GOD will set you high above all the nations of the earth.  

But if you do not obey the LORD YOUR GOD to faithfully observe all His Commandments and Laws, all these curses shall come upon you, and overtake you.  DEUTERONOMY 28.1-15

Yeshua the Messiah said, For Salvation is of the Jews.  JOHN 4.22

After the death of Moses, the Servant of the LORD, the LORD spoke to Joshua, Saying, Arise, and go over this Jordan, you and all the People to the Land which I give to them.

Only be strong, and very courageous to observe to do according to all the Law which Moses commanded you.

Do not turn from it to the right hand or the left hand that you may prosper wherever you go.  And you shall have good success.  JOSHUA 1.1-11

Yeshua the Messiah said, For Salvation is of the Jews.  JOHN 4.22

And the LORD gave to Israel all the Land that He swore to give to their fathers.  And they possessed it.  And dwelled in it.

And every good thing that the LORD spoke to the House of Israel, all came to pass.  JOSHUA 21.43-45

And at some time in the Future, when The LORD GOD OF ISRAEL, THE MESSIAH YESHUA returns to establish His Kingdom on earth in Israel for 1,000 years, The LORD will gather His Jewish People into their own Land, The Land of Israel.  And none will live in the nations any more.  EZEKIEL 39.23-29

The purpose of this long study is for you to know that every Word GOD speaks is His promise.  And every promise that GOD speaks comes to pass.  And every Word GOD speaks in The Bible is Law.

Therefore you should believe every Word GOD speaks.  And obey every Word that proceeds out of The Mouth of GOD for your good, and for your children’s good.

NUMBERS 11.21-25

VERSE 23  Is The LORD’s Hand waxed short?  That is to say, Is there a limit to GOD’S power?  Absolutely not.

VERSE 25  Most Bibles read, “When the Spirit came to rest upon them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.”

I believe the correct rendering is, When the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied and did not cease.

So what did those seventy elders prophesy?  Quite frankly, I don’t know.  The Bible does not tell us what they prophesied.

But The LORD does give us important insight about prophesy.  Keep in mind that it is The Holy Spirit Who gave the seventy elders of Israel the ability to prophesy.

AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD ALMIGHTY.  AND GOD ALMIGHTY IS YESHUA THE MESSIAH.

The LORD says, If a prophet speaks in The Name of The LORD, and what he or she prophesies does not come to pass, that prophesy was not of The LORD.  DEUTERONOMY 18.21-22

If the prophet speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.  DEUTERONOMY 18.20

The ability to work miracles is not proof of being a prophet. DEUTERONOMY 13.1-5, HEBREW BIBLE DEUTERONOMY 13.2-6

Sign in Hebrew is OTE meaning miracle.

Wonder in Hebrew is MO’FAYT, meaning something momentous, or a miracle, or a prediction that comes true.

The LORD is testing you to see if you will follow after other gods.  But you shall walk after The LORD your GOD, and fear Him, and obey His Laws that are written in The Law of Moses.

A STRONG PROPHETIC MESSAGE IS THE CALL TO REPENTANCE.

The promise of Biblical repentance, turning to GOD and obeying all His Laws that are written in The Law of Moses, and having Atonement in Messiah Yeshua, will prevent disaster.

And the person who repents according to GODLY REPENTANCE will live and not die.  EZEKIEL 18.27-28, MATTHEW 4.17

THE PROPHET MUST SPEAK THE WORDS OF GOD, EVEN ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF MOSES. DEUTERONOMY 18.18

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH THAT WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH.  JOHN 14.17, JOHN 16.13

SO, WHAT IS TRUTH?

THE TRUTH IS THE SPOKEN WORD OF GOD WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.  DEUTERONOMY 32.1-4, PSALM 31.5, LUKE 4.4

AND GOD’S WORD OF TRUTH INCLUDES HIS LAW OF MOSES.

THE TRUTH IS THE LAW OF MOSES.  PSALM 119.142, 151, MALACHI 2.6

When you are told that You do not have to obey The Law of Moses, that is a lie. And not from GOD.  But from another.

THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH.

THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH WILL GUIDE YOU INTO LEARNING GOD’S LAW OF MOSES, TO DO THEM, TO LIVE BY GOD’S LAWS.  JEREMIAH 31. 31-34, ACTS 15.21

The righteous nation, or the righteous Gentile who keeps The Truth shall enter the gates of GOD’S Kingdom.  ISAIAH 26.1-2

GOD’s Truth endures forever to all generations.  To every human being.  To all mankind.  PSALM 100.5, PSALM 117.2, PSALM 146.1-6

Yeshua The Messiah is Truth.  And He teaches the Way of GOD in Truth.  MARK 12.14-17, JOHN 14.6-9, DEUTERONOMY 32.4

(Mark 12.17) The things that are GOD’S are obedience to GOD.  Obedience to His Word and His Law of Moses.

JOHN 3.21  He or she that does Truth comes to The Light. That is, he or she that does Truth, comes to The Truth.  That Truth is living for GOD in obedience to every Word He speaks in The Bible, including The Truth of The Law of Moses.

They are GOD’S Works that He has put in you to reveal to the world.

JOHN 4.23-24  The true worshipers of GOD worship Him in Spirit and Truth.

Having The Holy Spirit of Truth, and living by every Word of GOD including His Law of Moses.  That is Truth.  And that is Spirit.

The Truth will make you free.  JOHN 8.32

Having The Holy Spirit of Truth, living according to GOD’S Truth.  Having Atonement in Messiah Yeshua.  And walking after The LORD your GOD, and fearing Him.  And obeying His Commandments.  His Laws and Statutes that are written in Torah, The Law of Moses.  That is The Truth that will free you from sin and death.  And lead you into eternal life in Heaven.

For Salvation is of the Jews. JOHN 4.22

Paul teaches that those who do not obey GOD’S Truth, GOD will lay on them His indignation and wrath.  ROMANS 2.8

And again, Paul teaches that Repentance is accomplished by obeying The Truth.  2 TIMOTHY 2.25

Those who oppose themselves oppose The Truth.

And The Way of Truth is spoken evil of.  2 PETER 2.2, 1 JOHN 2.4, 1 JOHN 4.6

1 JOHN 5.6-7  John teaches that there is only ONE GOD.  The Father, The Word, and The Holy Spirit are THE ONE GOD. DEUTERONOMY 6.4, MARK 12.29, etc., etc., etc.

Because the false teaching of the trinity of three different gods is taught in much of the world, most Bibles leave out: THE FATHER, THE WORD, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.  AND THESE THREE ARE ONE.

The Spirit of Truth will teach you The Truth.  That there is only ONE GOD.

The spirit of error will teach you lies that there are three different gods.

THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH.

Shalom.  Our teaching continues from Torah, The Law of Moses from GOD’S Word in Numbers 11.10-17.

And the title of our teaching is The Holy Spirit.  Who is The Holy Spirit, and How Do You Receive The Holy Spirit?

And with that said, let’s read Numbers 11.10-17.

There’s an interesting but painful theme in this event when the Children of Israel complained about the lack of meat for them to eat.  GOD heard them complaining, and the mixed multitude of Gentiles among them also complained.

It was painful because GOD punished them for their complaining.  But GOD also fed the Children of Israel and the mixed multitude of Gentiles and their animals one hundred and thirty-one billion, four hundred million meals during their forty year journey to The Promised Land, The Land of Israel.

And Moses heard the People weeping throughout the camp, and it demoralized him greatly.

The Hebrew word for weeping is bo’kher meaning, the People wept with tears, and complained.

Moses was a great man.  Some say that Moses was the greatest man that walked the face of the earth.  But Moses was a human being like you and me.  And he became discouraged with his heavy burden of leadership that The LORD GOD chose for him to do.  And his ability to succeed at it.  He was even ready to die if GOD gave the people no relief.  If no meat was given to the three million People for them to eat.

And add to that, The anger of The LORD was hot because of their complaining.  His anger kindled greatly, The Bible says.  And Moses was also upset with their complaining.

So Moses went to The LORD in prayer which we should do rather than complain.  And he said to The LORD, Why have You done evil to Your servant?  And why have I not found favor in Your sight that You have laid the burden of this People upon me?  Have I conceived all these People?  Did I give birth to them that You should say to me, carry them in Your bosom as a nurse carries an infant to the Land that You swore to them in oath?

Where will I get meat to give all these People when they weep to me and say, give us meat to eat?  I’m not able to carry these People by myself, for it is too much for me.  And if this is how You deal with me, then kill me now if I have found favor in Your eyes, and let me not see my evil.

And The LORD said to Moses, gather to Me seventy men from the elders of Israel whom you know to be the elders of the People and its officers, and bring them to the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and have them stand there with you.

And I will come down and talk with you there.  And I will take of the Spirit which is upon you, and will put the Spirit upon them.  And they shall bear the burden of the people with you that you do not bear it alone by yourself.

Twenty years ago when Jan and I came to Las Vegas to start a Messianic Congregation here, a couple invited us to attend Sunday services at their Church.  And we went.

And early on in the Pastor’s message, he held up his Bible, and said, wherever you see the word Israel, cross it out, and write Church.  I thought, this guy is delusional.

But he wasn’t finished.  A few minutes later into his message, the Pastor spoke of The Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit, he said, is IN Christians, but Moses and the seventy elders of Israel only had The Holy Spirit ON them but not IN them as we Christians have The Holy Spirit IN us.

And this guy had a fairly large congregation to teach them lies.

So let’s look at Numbers 11.16-17 just in case you hear this wacky teaching yourself.

NUMBERS 11.16-17  the Hebrew for “upon you” as in, I will take of the Spirit which is upon you, is AH’LAY’KHA meaning, Upon you, and In you.

And the Hebrew for “upon them” (the elders of Israel) as in, and I will put the Spirit upon them is, AH’LAY’HEM, meaning, Upon them and In them.

The Spirit, or The Holy Spirit was Upon Moses and the seventy elders of Israel, and In them.

And Israel is not the Church, nor is the Church Israel.

So, Who is The Holy Spirit?

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD, GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM. GENESIS 1.1-2

Simple answer.  The Holy Spirit is GOD ALMIGHTY.  And since there is only ONE GOD Who is The Father, The Messiah Yeshua, The Spirit, and The Holy Spirit, The Holy Spirit is GOD Almighty, Yeshua The Messiah.

The Father, The Messiah Yeshua, The Spirit, and The Holy Spirit are all one and the same GOD.

There is ONLY ONE GOD.  But GOD has different Names. The Father,  Messiah Yeshua, The Spirit, The Holy Spirit, Melchizedek, Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty GOD, The EVERLASTING FATHER, The Prince of Peace, THE LORD, YEHOVAH, Elohim, I Am That I Am, Adonai, My LORD, YAH, El Shaddai, GOD ALMIGHTY, Holy, Elyon, The Most High, Ha Kadosh Barukh Hu, The Holy One, Blessed Be He, The Supreme King Of Kings, Ribbono Shel Olam, Master Of The Universe, The Omnipresent, Ha Rahaman, The All Merciful, The Shekhinah, Divine Presence, Immanuel, KING Of Kings, LORD Of Lords, The LORD Our Righteousness, The LORD Of Hosts, The BRANCH,  and so many more.

BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD.

The words ONE GOD MEAN ONE GOD.  The Father, Messiah, Spirit and Holy Spirit are not different and distinct persons. They are one and the same.

The trinity teaches three different gods.  That is not Biblical. The trinity is not of GOD.  It is of man.

The trinity is polytheism, the belief in many gods.

The HOLY SPIRIT IS ALMIGHTY GOD, HA SHEM. He is Yeshua The Messiah, The ONE GOD.  DEUTERONOMY 6.4, MARK 12.29, DEUTERONOMY 4.35, 39, etc.

THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS A DIFFERENT PURPOSE THAN THE SPIRIT ALTHOUGH BOTH ARE THE SAME GOD.

THE HOLY SPIRIT COMFORTS US.

AND THE HOLY SPIRIT TEACHES US THE TRUTH.

THE TRUTH IS GOD’S WORD THAT IS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.

Every Word GOD speaks.  And that includes GOD’S Law of Moses that is written in the first five books of The Bible.

The Holy Spirit teaches us the truth.  And The Holy Spirit causes us to obey the truth.  And the truth is written in The Law of Moses.  PSALM 119.160, JOHN 14.15-17, MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4, DEUTERONOMY 8.3

The Spirit of GOD creates, and gives life, and intellect, and wisdom, and courage, and so very much more.

The Spirit of GOD fills Heaven and earth.  GENESIS 1, GENESIS 2.7, PSALM 139.7-9, JEREMIAH 23.24, ETC.

As The Spirit of GOD is Omnipresent, being present everywhere at the same time, GOD, GOD The Father, and Messiah Yeshua can be in various places at the same time. GENESIS 17.1, GENESIS 18.1, GENESIS 19.24, PSALM 110.1, JOHN 17.1

And GOD made our soul, our life, our person, our character, our personality, our shape and form.  He has formed our past, present, and future.  GENESIS 2.7

The Hebrew word for formed is YEE’STEHR meaning, GOD Formed us, He Fashioned us as a potter fashions his pottery.

And GOD Determines who we are.  He predestines, and predetermines our life.

GOD has formed us, and made us, and determined our life, and determined who we are.

Question.  How do we receive The Holy Spirit?

The quickest and easiest answer is found in ACTS 5.32

The Holy Spirit is given by GOD to those who obey Him.

The Greek word for obey is PEITHARCHEO that means to submit to authority.  That authority is GOD.  You must submit to every Word He speaks in The Bible, and that includes submitting to His Law of Moses.

Those who do not submit to GOD’S Law of Moses, do not have The Holy Spirit.

The LORD goes into greater detail on how you receive His Holy Spirit, and what His Holy Spirit causes you to do, in EZEKIEL 36.25-27.

GOD cleanses you of your sins and idolatry through your Atonement in Messiah Yeshua.

Sin is breaking The Law of Moses.  1 John 3.4.

Your Faith in Messiah Yeshua should be followed with miqveh immersion, or baptism in The Name of The GOD of Israel, The Messiah Yeshua.

And The LORD GOD gives you a new heart to live a Holy and GODLY life for Him.

And a new Spirit that is The Holy Spirit that causes you to live by GOD’S Statutes that are written in The Law of Moses, and do them.

Faith in The Messiah Yeshua for Atonement is part of GOD’S Statutes, and fully part of Torah, The Law of Moses. Hebrews 8.6

Thus you receive The Holy Spirit by having faith in The Messiah Yeshua for Atonement.  You are cleansed of your sins.  And that must be followed by living your life in obedience to Torah, GOD’S Law of Moses.

Messiah speaks of receiving The Holy Spirit by loving Messiah.  And loving Messiah Yeshua is accomplished by obeying His Law of Moses.

And WE, Messiah says, The Holy Spirit, The Father, and The Messiah Yeshua, THE ONE GOD will come into you, and make our home with you.  JOHN 14.15-24

JOHN 14.15  Messiah Yeshua is GOD Almighty, The Father.

Messiah says, If you love Me, keep My Commandments. That is, If you love Messiah, obey His Law of Moses. DEUTERONOMY 7.9

JOHN 14.16-17  Then The Father will give you another Comforter to remain with you forever.

Forever means as long as you continue in faith in Messiah Yeshua obeying His Law of Moses.  EZEKIEL 18.24

And The LORD will give you The Spirit of Truth that teaches you The Truth.

The Truth is GOD’S Word that is written in The Bible that endures forever.  PSALM 119.160, ISAIAH 40.8, 1 PETER 1.23-25

The Spirit of Truth is GOD, Yeshua The Messiah Whom the world cannot receive because the world does not know GOD, nor does the world understand GOD.

JOHN 14.18-19  Messiah Yeshua is The Holy Spirit Who comes to His Elect, and lives in His Elect, His Chosen.

JOHN 14.20  At some point in our walk with The LORD, GOD reveals to His Elect that Messiah Yeshua is The Father, GOD Almighty, and the Holy Spirit.

That Messiah is in The Father.  And the Elect are in GOD, and GOD Almighty, Yeshua The Messiah is in us.

JOHN 14.21  Loving GOD is obeying GOD.  Obeying every Word that GOD speaks. Obeying His Torah, His Law of Moses.

And GOD reveals Himself to you by teaching you The Truth. To live by His every Word.  To live by His every Law that is written in The Law of Moses.

JOHN 14.22-23  Obeying GOD, Obeying His every Word that includes The Law of Moses is proof that you love The Messiah Yeshua.  And The Holy Spirit will come into you, and live with you.

And yes, you will sin from time to time.  Thus John writes in 1 JOHN 1.9, If we confess our sins, GOD is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

JOHN 14.24  The person who does not love Messiah Yeshua, and I’m talking about The Messiah Yeshua of The Bible, that person does not obey Him.  That person does not obey His Law of Moses.  And that person does not keep The Holy Spirit.  JEREMIAH 31.31-34. See verse 33.

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?

GOD ALMIGHTY IS THE HOLY SPIRIT.

AND YESHUA THE MESSIAH IS GOD ALMIGHTY.

HOW DO YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT?

YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT BY HAVING FAITH IN THE MESSIAH YESHUA FOR ATONEMENT OF YOUR SINS.  AND OBEYING GOD’S LAW OF MOSES, AND DOING THEM.

Shalom.  Our teaching this morning continues from Torah, The Law of Moses that The LORD GOD commands all mankind to live by for your good.

THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD, AND ETERNAL LIFE ARE FROM THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

And our teaching will come from Numbers 11.1-9.  And with that said, let’s read Numbers 11.1-9.

NUMBERS 11.1-3  The word complain in Hebrew is AH’NAHN that not only means complain, it means ungodly and sinful complaining.  And The LORD does not like it when we complain.

Complaining causes us to be angry with GOD.  And at times sinning in our hearts with all types of impure thoughts.

GOD does not like complaining.

So let’s look at some Scriptures that address complaining.

PROVERBS 19.3  The foolishness of man, and complaining is foolishness, perverts, or corrupts his way.  And his heart frets against GOD.  Meaning, the complainer is angry with GOD.

Rather than complaining and being angry with GOD, and causing Him to be upset with you, bring your problems to The LORD in prayer, privately.  Between you and Him.  And He will hear your prayers and work things out for you. PSALM 3.4, HEBREWS 13.5

Selah means pause and calmly think of that, or value what is said.

LAMENTATIONS 3.39  There are times we complain because The LORD is punishing us for our sins.

Sin is breaking The Law of Moses.  And The Law of Moses is GOD’S Law.  1 JOHN 3.4

So rather than complain, we should stop sinning.  That is stop breaking GOD’S Law of Moses, and turn to GOD and start obeying His Law that is written in the first five Books of The Bible.  Because GOD’S Law is for everyone.  For Jewish People and non-Jewish People.

JOHN 5.45-47  In this passage, Moses means The Law of Moses.  And when a person, Jew or Gentile does not believe The Law of Moses and rejects it, that individual does not believe a word Messiah Yeshua says.

Messiah said, If you don’t believe the writings of Moses, that is, if you don’t believe The Law of Moses, how shall you believe My Words?

It is The Law of Moses that accuses those who reject The Law.  And the word “accuse” means charging that person with sin for violating GOD’S Law of Moses.

And, yes, rejecting The Law of Moses will certainly bring you problems from The LORD.  And problems often bring on complaining.

Thus, as ACTS 15.21 teaches, Learn The Law of Moses and do it.

NUMBERS 11.4  The mixed multitude or the Gentiles who joined in with the Children of Israel in the Exodus, and the Children of Israel themselves also wept and complained for more meat.

The LORD tests us at times to see whether we will obey His Commandments, or not. DEUTERONOMY 8.2

NUMBERS 11.5-9 Manna in Hebrew is MAHN meaning, What is it?  EXODUS 16.1-15

The taste of manna was as the taste of a cake baked with oil.  And its color was bdellium, the color of pearl, grayish and white.

The Children of Israel, some three million people, were in the wilderness for forty years before they reached the land of Canaan that became the Land of Israel after GOD commanded the Children of Israel to conquer Canaan and possess it for an everlasting possession.

And for forty years GOD fed those three million people in the wilderness, and their animals three meals a day.  And sufficient water for all.  And there was nothing but great and terrible wilderness for forty years.

In one day, GOD fed His People, and their animals Nine Million Meals.

Over forty years, GOD fed The Children of Israel One Hundred And Thirty-One Billion, Four Hundred Million Meals until they reached Canaan.

Selah.  Think on that for a minute or two.

ISAIAH 44.1-2  Yet now hear O Jacob My Servant, and Israel whom I have chosen.  Thus saith THE LORD that made you, and formed you from the womb, which will help you.  Fear not O Jacob My Servant, and you Jesurun (Israel) whom I have chosen.

ISAIAH 46.3-4  Hearken to Me O House of Jacob, and all the remnant of the House of Israel which are carried  by Me from the belly, which are supported from the womb.  And even to your old age, I Am He.  And even when your hair turns grey I will carry you.  I have made you, and I will bear you. Even I will carry, and will deliver you.

ISAIAH 43.21  This People have I formed for Myself.  They shall show forth My Praise.

THE TITLE OF  OUR MESSAGE IS, THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD, AND ETERNAL LIFE ARE FROM THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

Four thousand years ago, GOD chose Abram and Sarai out of the Gentiles even before GOD changed their names to Abraham and Sarah, to create and form a People for Himself.  The Jewish People.  To be His Servants and Witnesses.  To Praise The LORD, and be Holy to Him.

GOD said to Abram, I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great.  And you shall be a blessing.  And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you.  And in you shall all the families of the earth be blessed.  GENESIS 12.1-3

Those who bless Abraham and his descendants, the Jewish People, GOD will Bless.

But those who curse Abraham and his descendants, the Jewish People, GOD will Curse.

Curse is not a pretty word.  It means that GOD will bring evil upon those anti-Semites who curse the Jewish People and Israel.  And that means eternal punishment in hell.

But GOD will Bless those who Bless the Jewish People, and Israel.  And that means Eternal Life in Heaven.

So yes, the future of the world, and their eternal life are from the Jewish People.  How the Jewish People are treated by the Nations and the Gentiles determine their future and their eternal life.  MATTHEW 25.31-46

GOD also said to Abraham in Genesis 12.3, And in you (Abraham and the Jewish People), shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

From the days of Abraham and Sarah, GOD has chosen the Jewish People to be a Holy People to Himself. DEUTERONOMY 7.6

That is the Grace of GOD.

Being a Holy People to The LORD OUR GOD means being obedient to every Word GOD speaks in The Bible.  That includes His Torah, His Law of Moses that is written in the first five Books of The Bible.

And Holy means receiving in Faith The New Covenant as promised to the Jewish People in Jeremiah 31.31-34.

The New Covenant is Messiah Yeshua Whom GOD has given to the Jewish People for the Atonement of their sins.

Being Holy means being set apart for The LORD.  Being pure and clean from sin.  And that can only be accomplished by having Atonement in the Jewish Messiah Yeshua, and obeying GOD’S Torah, His Law of Moses.

Holy means being Loyal to GOD, and Dedicated to Him by being Holy.

Being Holy is a Commandment of GOD.  “You shall be Holy for I The LORD your GOD am Holy.”  Leviticus 19.1-2.

Being Holy is making The LORD first in your life.  If The LORD is not first in your life, you are not worthy of The LORD, The Messiah says.

And being Holy is doing what GOD says and leaving behind false teachings, and living by every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of GOD.  That includes GOD’S Law, His Law of Moses.

Being Holy is being Separated to GOD.  And those who are Separated to GOD and Serve Him must be Holy, Obedient to His Word, His Torah, His Law, The Law of Moses.

The Jewish Prophets, The Jewish Apostles, and The Jewish Messiah Yeshua Himself all served The LORD in Holiness, in Obedience to Torah, GOD’S Law of Moses.

Those are GOD’S requirements for the direction and future of the world. And His requirements for eternal life in Heaven.

For example, GOD will certainly destroy this world and few will be left because the inhabitants have transgressed GOD’S Laws, changed His ordinances, and broken His everlasting Covenant, His Word and His Law of Moses.  GOD Spoke these Words to the Jewish Prophet Isaiah written in Isaiah 24.4-6.

All GOD’S requirements for your future and eternal life are written in the Bible by Jewish People.  1 PETER 1.15-16, MATTHEW 10.37, MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4, EPHESIANS 2.19-20

(Ephesians 2.19-20)  The foundation of The Prophets, The Apostles, and The Messiah Yeshua Himself is Obedience to GOD’S Law, His Law of Moses.

Obedience to GOD’S Law of Moses is the foundation of The Bible.

And GOD chose the Jewish People to be His Witnesses to bring His Laws, Teachings and Instructions to the world.

And the Jewish People have carried out that important ministry of GOD by recording every Law, Teaching, and Instruction of GOD in The Bible.  For all mankind.  For your future.  For your eternal life.  How you can be blessed and have a loving relationship with The LORD YOUR GOD.  How to live in excellent health, with success and prosperity.  And how to be Holy to The LORD YOUR GOD.  And so much more.

All that GOD requires of you is summed up in one verse of Scripture.

“HEAR O ISRAEL, THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE.”  DEUTERONOMY 6.4

Hear GOD, and obey every Word He speaks in The Bible. That includes Faith in Messiah Yeshua for Atonement.  And Obedience to all GOD’S Laws, Teachings, and Instructions that are written in The Law of Moses in the first five Books of The Bible.

And know and believe that there is Only One GOD.

And you will be blessed by GOD.  You will prove your love for GOD by obeying Him.  You will live your life for GOD in Holiness.  You will have good health, prosperity, and success. You will have an excellent relationship with The LORD YOUR GOD.  And your future with GOD will be eternal life in Heaven with The Holy One of Israel, Yeshua the Messiah.

The future of the world, and eternal life are from the Jewish People.  Because all GOD’S requirements for a good future, even a good life today, and eternal life in Heaven are written in The Bible by Jewish People, GOD’S Witnesses.

And these are GOD’S Requirements for you, and for all mankind, for today, for your future and for your eternal life in Heaven:

GOD requires Faith in the Jewish Messiah Yeshua for your Atonement.

GOD requires Repentance to stop sinning by turning to The LORD YOUR GOD and being obedient to all His Laws that are written in The Law of Moses.  And you will live.

GOD has only One Law for all mankind, The Law of Moses.

And GOD requires that you believe and know there is Only One GOD and no others.

And Yeshua The Messiah is that One GOD.

Knowing that the trinity of three different and separate gods is a lie.  It is not Biblical.  It is not of GOD.

And then be immersed in water, that is baptized in The Name of The Jewish Messiah Yeshua, THE GOD OF ISRAEL. EXODUS 12.49, NUMBERS 15.15-16, EZEKIEL 18.21, 1 JOHN 3.4

And for those who Bless the Jewish People and Israel, GOD Will Bless You, Even With Eternal Life.  GENESIS 12.3, MATTHEW 25.46

THUS THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD, AND ETERNAL LIFE ARE FROM THE JEWISH PEOPLE BECAUSE THE JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE RECORDED IN THE BIBLE ALL THAT GOD REQUIRES OF YOU FOR YOUR FUTURE, AND FOR YOUR ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN.

Shalom.  Our teaching this morning will continue from the spoken Word of GOD in The Law of Moses, The Laws that GOD gave to Moses for all mankind.

And the title of our message is, FOR THE LORD HAS SPOKEN GOOD CONCERNING ISRAEL.

And with that said, let’s read Numbers 10.29-36.

NUMBERS 10.29  Hobab, the Priest of Midian, is one of three names of Moses’ father-in-law.  His other names are Reuel that appears in Exodus 2.16-18. And Jethro that appears in Exodus 18.1-2.

Hobab in Hebrew is KHOVAV, meaning cherished.

Reuel in Hebrew is RUALE, meaning friend of GOD.

Jethro in Hebrew is YEETROE meaning his excellency.

So Moses said to his father-in-law Hobab, the Priest of Midian, we are journeying to the place of which The LORD said, I will give it to you.  Come with us and we will do you good.

FOR THE LORD HAS SPOKEN GOOD CONCERNING ISRAEL.

But his father-in-law said, I will not go, but I will return to my native land and my kindred.  And Moses said to his father-in-law, please do not leave us.  Inasmuch as you know where and how we are to camp in the wilderness.  And you will be our eyes.  And if you come with us, it shall be that what goodness The LORD shall do with us, the same will we do to you.

But Moses’ father-in-law, the Priest of Midian, left the Children of Israel and departed to his own land.

THE LORD GOD, THE KING OF ISRAEL, IT IS HE WHO IS THE EYES OF ISRAEL.

And it is He, The GOD of Israel Who would lead His People to The Promised Land.  And it is He, The LORD GOD, The Holy One of Israel Who knows where and how Israel was to camp in the wilderness.

Thus Moses’ father-in-law left and returned to his own land to his family and relatives.  And The LORD continued to lead the Children of Israel.  PROVERBS 16.9, PROVERBS 20.24, PROVERBS 21.1

NUMBERS 10.33-36  So the Children of Israel departed from Mt. Sinai, the mountain of The LORD after spending one year at the foot of the mountain in the wilderness of Sinai.  And they continued their journey to the Promised land with the Levites transporting the Tabernacle.

All three million People.  And the Ark of The Covenant, carried by the Levites, going before them.

And they searched out a resting place, but The LORD THEIR GOD had a place prepared for them.

And the Cloud of The LORD, The Divine Presence Of GOD, was upon them by day when the People left camp on their journey to their Homeland, The Land Of Israel.

And when the Ark set forward, Moses said, “Rise up LORD and let your enemies be scattered, and let them that hate You flee from before You.”  And when the Ark rested, Moses said, “Return O LORD to the many thousands of Israel.”

MOSES SAID, “FOR THE LORD HAS SPOKEN GOOD CONCERNING ISRAEL.”

But Moses also said, The LORD has enemies.  Those who hate GOD.

Those who hate Jewish People, hate GOD.  And those who hate Israel also hate GOD.  For the Jewish People are GOD’S Chosen People.

And those who transgress GOD’S Laws, His Law of Moses, and change His Everlasting Covenant, His Word and His Laws that are written in The Law of Moses, are GOD’S enemies.

They hate GOD because they rebel against The LORD GOD by rejecting His Word.  ISAIAH 24.4-6, PSALM 105.8-10

Anti-Semitic demonization of Jews and Israel has not been so diabolical since the Holocaust.  Today’s Jew hatred and their attacks against Israel and the Jewish People are their tickets to hell.

For GOD will curse those who curse His Jewish People and He will send them away to everlasting punishment.  For GOD is The GOD of the Jewish People.  That never changes. Genesis 12.3, Genesis 17.7-8, Matthew 25.46.

Those who hate Jewish People, and those who hate Israel, hate GOD.  Because Israel is GOD’S son, even His firstborn. EXODUS 4.22

GOD has made the Jewish People a Holy People unto Himself.  The LORD THEIR GOD has chosen the Jewish People to be a Special People to Himself above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

The LORD did not set His love upon the Jewish People, or choose them because they were more in number than any people.  For GOD said, You are the fewest of all people.  But because The LORD loved you, and because He would keep the oath which He had sworn to your fathers, that The LORD brought the Children of Israel out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and freed the People out of the house of bondage from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. DEUTERONOMY 7.6-8

GOD has chosen the Jewish People to be His witnesses and His Servant.  To know and believe GOD.  And understand that GOD is GOD, and there is no other GOD.

GOD IS THE LORD.  He is Messiah Yeshua.  He is GOD ALMIGHTY. And beside Him there is no Savior.  ISAIAH 43.10-11, ISAIAH 9.5, Christian Bible ISAIAH 9.6

Thus the Jewish People have written the entire Bible from Genesis through Revelation for all mankind to know and believe GOD.  And to understand that GOD is GOD.  And before GOD there was no God formed, and neither will there be after Him.  And beside GOD there is no Savior.

Therefore Yeshua The Messiah says to all mankind, “For Salvation is of the Jews.”

Salvation, eternal life in Heaven is accomplished by having Atonement for your sins through faith in The Jewish Messiah Yeshua.  Then turning to The GOD OF ISRAEL, THE LORD YOUR GOD, living your life according to every Law, Teaching and Instruction that GOD gave to Moses known as the Law Of Moses.

As Messiah Yeshua said, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of GOD.”  MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4, DEUTERONOMY 8.3

That ladies and gentlemen includes the Law of Moses.

Salvation is of the Jews because Salvation is accomplished by living according to every Word that GOD Spoke to and Commanded the Jewish People to do.  And having Atonement for your sins through faith in the Jewish Messiah Yeshua.

The Bible does not require anyone to convert to Judaism, but to live by every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of GOD.

But much of the world reject GOD because they reject GOD’S spoken Word, His Laws and His Commandments, known as The Law Of Moses.

And those who despise GOD’S People and Israel are enemies of GOD digging their own graves to hell.  ISAIAH 49.7, 26, ISAIAH 51.16, 22, 23

Therefore The LORD GOD says, Know that The LORD your GOD, He is GOD, the Faithful GOD which keeps Covenant and Mercy with them that love Him, and keep His Commandments to a thousand generations.  And repays them that hate Him to their face.  To destroy them.  He will not be slack to those that hate Him.  He will repay them to their face.  DEUTERONOMY 7.9-10

Not only has GOD chosen The Jewish People to be His servant and witnesses, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY has also given the Jewish People the Land Of Israel from a river in Egypt, to the Euphrates River for an everlasting possession.

And the Lord gave His Jewish People instructions.  That His Land shall never be sold or surrendered forever.

But the anti-Semitic nations continue to pressure Israel to break GOD’S Commandment Not to sell the land, or surrender any part of it.

And Israel has paid dearly for obeying the so-called international community, and disobeying The LORD their GOD Who loves them.  Rockets and wars from Gaza and south Lebanon, Israeli possessions given to The Jewish People by GOD are a persistent curse to Israel for disobeying GOD and obeying the nations.  LEVITICUS 25.23

4,000 years ago, GOD made a Covenant with Abram, even before GOD changed his name to Abraham.  To give unto Abraham and his Jewish descendants after him the land of Canaan from the River of Egypt to the great River, the River Euphrates for an everlasting possession.  And GOD will be Their GOD.

Messiah Yeshua is that GOD, The GOD OF ABRAHAM. GENESIS 15.18-21, GENESIS 17.1,7-8

AND GOD’S COVENANTS CAN NEVER BE BROKEN.  GENESIS 9.15, 16, GENESIS 17.13, LEVITICUS 24.8, ISAIAH 54.10, ISAIAH 55.3, JEREMIAH 32.37-41, HEBREWS 13.20

So why do the nations and the many Gentiles seek to destroy Israel and the Jewish People?

So many of those Gentiles have Bibles in their homes.

Can’t they read?  Don’t they believe GOD?

Why won’t the nations and the followers of satan let Israel and the Jewish People live in peace, rather than seeking to divide their land to destroy it?

By comparison, the Jewish People have been living in their GOD given homeland, the Land of Israel for some 3,400 years.  The Land that GOD promised to them 4,000 years ago.

By comparison, The United States declared its independence 240 years ago on July 4th, 1776.

Russia became a dynasty in 862 A.D., 1,154 years ago.

Germany became part of the holy Roman Empire 1,054 years ago in 962 A.D.  and became the German confederation in 1815, 201 years ago.

France was unified in 486 A.D., 1,530 years ago.  And the Republic of France was established 224 years ago in 1792.

The United Kingdom became an Anglo Saxon settlement, meaning a white Gentile English speaking nation in the 5th to 6th Centuries 1500 to 1600 years ago.  And the Countries of the U.K. unified in the 10th Century, some 1,100 years ago.

Those nations, and all nations are given to their people by GOD just as Israel is given to the Jewish People by GOD.

So why do the nations dig a grave for themselves trying to destroy Israel and the Jewish People?  DEUTERONOMY 32.8-9

Today the land of Israel is very small.  Perhaps the size of New Jersey.  Israel’s land area is 8,522 square miles.

The land area of the earth is 197 million square miles.

Israel is .00004% of the total land area of the earth.

The world’s Jewish population is 14.2 million people.

The world population is 7.125 billion people.

Thus the percentage of Jewish People is .002%.  Less than one quarter of one percent of the world’s population.

Yet the Arabs and Moslems dream of wiping the Jew and Israel off the face of the earth.

The Christians, over the past 1,000 years, had their dreams of destroying the Jews, but failed.  But they did a pretty good job killing Jews.

The European Christian Countries still seek to destroy Israel today.

So why is there such Jew hate throughout the world?

Anti-Semitism dates back to the Egyptian bondage of Jews some 3,700 years ago.  But GOD by His miraculous power delivered His Jewish People from slavery and brought them into their own Land.

I have my thoughts, according to Scripture, why there is anti-Semitism.  Why the hatred for Jews and Israel.

Anti-Semitism and Jew hatred, and hatred of Israel is because of  satan’s hatred of the Jewish People.  Add to that satan’s demons and the millions of satan’s Gentile followers who hate Jews and Israel.

It’s a Prophesy of GOD.  And that Prophesy is written in GENESIS 3.15.

And GOD has His reasons.

GENESIS 3.15  GOD said to satan, I will put enmity, that is hatred between you satan, and the Woman.  The Woman is Israel and the Jewish People.  And between satan’s seed, his demons and the millions of Gentile followers of satan who hate Israel’s seed, the Jewish People.  REVELATION 12.1-17

This Prophesy was spoken by GOD some 6,000 years ago. Some 2,000 years before GOD took Abraham out of the Gentiles to create a People for Himself, The Jewish People.

The reason for anti-Semitism, I believe, is to bring this world to an end.

And the end will come sometime in the future, and it might not be that far away, when The LORD will gather all the nations of the world against Jerusalem to battle.  Because of their hatred of the Jews and Israel.

And GOD will destroy those armies, all of them who fight against Jerusalem.

But GOD, Messiah Yeshua will fight for, and defend, and save Israel and the Jewish People, and all who have joined Israel according to The Word of GOD, and not according to the word of the church.

And The LORD GOD, MESSIAH YESHUA will return from Heaven to The Land of Israel, to Israel’s GOD GIVEN BORDERS to establish His Kingdom on earth for 1,000 years where the family of GOD will live in peace in GOD’S Kingdom.  And His Kingdom will be like the Garden of Eden. Isaiah 51.3

And following the 1,000 years, satan and his demons will be destroyed by Messiah forever.  Revelation 20.7-10

And the earth will flee away.  And the family of GOD will move their dwelling place from earth to Heaven with The LORD THEIR GOD, YESHUA THE MESSIAH forever and ever. ZECHARIAH 14.1-2, 12, EZEKIEL 39.21-29, REVELATION 20-22.

GOD has a purpose for everything.  And it is always for the good to those who love The GOD OF ISRAEL, to them who are the called, according to HIS purpose.  Romans 8.28.
