Our teaching from The Law of Moses, also called The Law of The LORD, will come from the Words of Numbers 22.12-20 and beyond.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, WHO IS BALAAM PART 2

And with that said, let’s read Numbers 22.12-20.

Some three million Jewish People, the beginning of the great Nation of Israel that GOD promised Abraham are in the desert in Moab, current day Jordan, near Jericho preparing to enter the Promised Land, the land of Canaan.  GENESIS 12.2

But the King of Moab, seeing Israel’s might and power from what Israel did to the Amorites, killing their King and seizing his land, hires the Gentile Prophet Balaam to curse Israel into oblivion.  Hoping to prevent Israel from seizing his land and possessing it.

So the Moabite King sent messengers to Balaam with payment for him to perform his witchcraft on Israel to curse them.

And when the messengers came to Balaam with the King’s message to curse Israel, Balaam the Prophet told them, I will bring you word again as The LORD shall speak to me.

AND GOD CAME TO BALAAM,

And said to him, Who are these men with you?  And Balaam said, The men were sent by the King of Moab with instructions for me to curse Israel.

AND GOD REPLIED, YOU SHALL NOT GO WITH THEM. YOU SHALL NOT CURSE THE PEOPLE (THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL) FOR THEY ARE BLESSED.

THESE POWERFUL WORDS SPOKEN BY THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL, “DO NOT CURSE THE PEOPLE (THE JEWISH PEOPLE) FOR THEY ARE BLESSED,” ARE PERMANENT AND FOREVER BECAUSE THE WORD OF OUR GOD STANDS FOREVER.  ISAIAH 40.8, 1 PETER 1.23-25, ROMANS 11.29

THE ONLY INDICATION FOR GOD’S GRACE TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE IS BECAUSE THE LORD LOVES THE JEWISH PEOPLE.  AND BECAUSE HE WOULD KEEP THE OATH THAT HE HAD SWORN TO THEIR FATHERS, ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB, THAT THE LORD BROUGHT THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL OUT OF EGYPT WITH A MIGHTY HAND, AND REDEEMED THEM.  THAT IS GOD DELIVERED AND RESCUED THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL OUT OF THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE FROM THE HAND OF PHARAOH KING OF EGYPT.

“KNOW THEREFORE, THE LORD SAID, THAT THE LORD YOUR GOD, HE IS GOD, THE FAITHFUL GOD WHO KEEPS COVENANT AND MERCY WITH THEM THAT LOVE HIM AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, THAT IS HIS LAW OF MOSES, TO A THOUSAND GENERATIONS.”  FOREVER.

THAT IS GOD’S COMMANDMENT TO HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE, AND TO ALL PEOPLE WHO DESIRE TO BE FULLY PART OF GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE.

KEEP HIS LAWS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES.  THAT INCLUDES ATONEMENT.  AND ATONEMENT TODAY IS MADE BY THE SHED BLOOD OF THE MESSIAH YESHUA, FOR IT IS THE BLOOD THAT MAKES ATONEMENT FOR THE SOUL.

THAT IS GOD’S REQUIREMENT TO BE FULLY PART OF HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE FOR SALVATION AND ETERNAL LIFE.  DEUTERONOMY 7.6-9, 2 CHRONICLES 31.3-4, LEVITICUS 17.11

So Balaam told the Princes of King Balak, Return to your own Country because The LORD will not allow me to go with you.

And the Princes of King Balak returned to the King and said, Balaam refuses to come with us.

So the King sent different Princes more honorable than the others to Balaam to curse Israel.

And again, another crowd of messengers are at Balaam’s door telling him, Thus saith Balak, the son of Zippor, Don’t let anything hinder you from coming to me.  For I will promote you to very great honor, and I will do whatever you say to me.  Please come and curse this People for me.

And Balaam said to the King’s messengers, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond The Word of The LORD my GOD to do less or more.

STRONG WORDS, BUT NO ACTION BECAUSE BALAAM DOES NOT DO WHAT GOD TELLS HIM TO DO.

GOD TOLD BALAAM, YOU SHALL NOT GO WITH THOSE MEN.  YOU SHALL NOT CURSE THE PEOPLE FOR THEY ARE BLESSED.  NUMBERS 22.12

NOW BALAAM MAY BE A PROPHET, BUT HE SURE IS NOT A MAN OF GOD.  HE DOES NOT DO WHAT THE LORD GOD TELLS HIM TO DO.

So he said to the King’s messengers, Stay here tonight and I will find out what else The LORD has to say to me.

HEY BALAAM, THE LORD ALREADY TOLD YOU WHAT TO DO.  DON’T GO WITH THOSE MEN.  AND DO NOT CURSE THE PEOPLE FOR THEY ARE BLESSED.

JUST DO WHAT GOD SAYS.  THAT’S ALL GOD WANTS FROM YOU BALAAM.

AND THAT IS WHAT GOD WANTS FROM ALL PEOPLE.  DO WHAT GOD SAYS IN THE BIBLE.  EVEN WHEN YOUR BIBLE TEACHER OR YOUR PREACHER TELLS YOU THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO OBEY GOD’S LAWS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES.

DO WHAT GOD TELLS YOU TO DO FOR YOUR GOOD, AND FOR YOUR SALVATION.

GOD’S Commandments are always simple to understand and do.

They are not rocket science.  The problem is, people don’t want to do them, and are taught not to do them.  And they wonder why they have so much grief in their life.  1 John 5.3

AND AGAIN, GOD CAME TO BALAAM AT NIGHT

And said to him, If the men invite you to go with them, then go.  But yet the Word which I shall say to you, that shall you do.

But GOD originally told Balaam Not to go with those men.

Now THE LORD says, Go with them.

My thinking for GOD’S reversal is this.

GOD doesn’t stop people from sinning against Him.  And sin is disobeying GOD by breaking the Law of Moses. However it is written in Scripture, the blessings for obeying GOD, and the curses for disobeying GOD.  1 JOHN 3.4, DEUTERONOMY 28

So GOD said to Balaam the second time, Go with those men. But trouble was ahead for Balaam for disobeying GOD.

So Balaam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass and went with the Princes of Moab.

But The Bible says, GOD’S anger was kindled.  His anger was hot against Balaam because he disobeyed GOD and went with the men.

When GOD first told Balaam not to go with the men, GOD meant it.  Don’t go with them.  And do not curse the People for they are blessed.  But when GOD told him the second time, Go with them, as a Prophet Balaam should have known that GOD does not change His Mind.  He meant what He said.  Do not go with them.  MALACHI 3.6

So because Balaam disobeyed GOD, The LORD GOD was incensed with him.

And the Angel of The LORD, Who was The LORD GOD HIMSELF, Exodus 4.2-4, stood in Balaam’s way as an adversary.

And Balaam was riding upon his ass, and his two servants with him.

And the ass saw the Angel of The LORD, and His Sword Drawn in His Hand.  And the ass turned away from The Angel of The LORD and went into the field.

And Balaam hit the ass to turn her back onto the path.  But the Angel of The LORD stood in their way in the vineyards with a wall on both sides of the path.

And when the ass saw the Angel of The LORD, she thrust herself into the wall and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall.  And he hit her again.

And the Angel of The LORD moved closer and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn either to the right or to the left.

And when the ass saw the Angel of The LORD, she fell down under Balaam.  And now Balaam is mad at the ass.  And he whacked the ass a third time with his stick.

And The LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you that you’ve beaten me these three times”?  And Balaam said to the ass, (this is quite a comedown from talking to GOD) “Because you have mocked me”, Balaam said to the ass.  “If I had a sword in my hand I would have killed you.”

And the ass said to Balaam (now the disobedient Prophet is having a conversation with his ass) “Am I not your ass which you have ridden ever since I was yours to this day?  Was I ever in the habit of doing this to you?”  And Balaam said, “No.”

At that moment The LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the Angel of The LORD standing in front of him, and His Sword Drawn.  And Balaam bowed down before The LORD, and fell flat on his face.

Now Balaam knew the Angel of The LORD was GOD ALMIGHTY because he recognized GOD Whom he had spoken to face to Face.  NUMBERS 22.9

And the Angel of The LORD said to Balaam, Why did you beat your ass these three times?  I went out to withstand you because your way is perverse before Me.

Perverse is a word that means being willfully determined not to do what is expected of you.  Turning away from what is right, good, or proper.  Being wicked or corrupt.

And The LORD said to Balaam, The ass saw Me and turned from Me these three times.  Unless she had turned from Me surely I would have killed you and saved her alive.

This never would have happened had Balaam obeyed GOD and stayed home and never gone with the men as GOD originally commanded him.

And Balaam said to the Angel of The LORD: I have sinned.

Yes, Balaam knew what sin was.  Disobeying GOD.  1 John 3.4

My question is, Why isn’t sin explained today in Bible teaching and in sermons?

Perhaps because the Church leadership and many Messianic Congregational leaders either don’t know what sin is, or they do not want their Congregations to know that sin is breaking GOD’S Law of Moses, THE LAW OF THE LORD.

THUS they prevent their Congregants from obeying GOD.  1 JOHN 3.4, JAMES 3.1

And Balaam said to The LORD, If it displeases You, I will turn back.

And the Angel of The LORD said to Balaam, Go with the men, but only speak the Word to them that I shall speak to you. So Balaam went with the Princes of Balak.

And King Balak went to meet Balaam, and scolded him, saying, didn’t I earnestly send for you?  Why didn’t you come to me?  Am I not able to promote you to honor?

And Balaam said to King Balak, I have come to you.  Have I now any power at all to say anything.  The Word that GOD puts in my mouth, that will I speak.

So King Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep.

Those sacrifices were to devils, to false god’s.

And the following day the King brought Balaam up into the high places of baal, a false god, that from there he would see a portion of Israel, The Jewish People.

And Balaam said to the King, Build for me here seven altars, and prepare seven oxen and seven rams for me.  And the King did as Balaam said.  And the King and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on every altar.

And Balaam said to the King, stand by the burnt offering and I will go.  Perhaps The LORD will come to meet me.  And whatsoever He shows me, I will tell you.  And Balaam went to another high place.

AND AGAIN GOD MET BALAAM.

And Balaam said to The LORD, I have prepared seven altars and I have offered on every altar a bull and a ram.

And The LORD put a Word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return to King Balak and thus you shall speak.

And Balaam returned to the King where he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he and all the Princes of Moab.

AND BALAAM TOOK UP THE LORD’S PARABLE.

NOW A PARABLE IS A SHORT STORY OR STATEMENT THAT TEACHES THE TRUTH.  NUMBERS 23.7-10

And Balaam said, Balak, the King of Moab brought me from Aram (Syria) out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse Jacob for me, and call evil upon Israel.

How shall I curse whom GOD has not cursed?  Or how shall I call evil upon whom GOD has not called evil upon?

For from the top of the rocks I see him (Israel), and from the hills I behold him.

The People shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.

Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel?

Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his (Jacob).

Although Balaam is a disobedient Prophet, The LORD had a purpose for him.  To tell the Word of GOD to the world through The Bible.

FIRST, FROM THE WORDS THAT GOD SPOKE TO BALAAM, THE WORLD SHOULD KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THAT NO ONE CAN OR SHOULD CURSE ISRAEL, THE JEWISH PEOPLE, FOR THEY ARE BLESSED.  NUMBERS 22.12

ALSO BALAAM SPOKE THESE WORDS OF GOD.

FOR THE PEOPLE SHALL DWELL ALONE.  AND SHALL NOT BE RECKONED AMONG THE NATIONS.

The word “alone” in Hebrew as in, The People shall dwell “alone” is BAHDAHD meaning alone and separate.

THUS, THE LORD SAYS, THE JEWISH PEOPLE SHALL DWELL ALONE, SEPARATE FROM THE NATIONS.

THE JEWISH PEOPLE SHOULD DWELL ALONE, SEPARATE FROM THE NATIONS BECAUSE GOD MADE THE JEWISH PEOPLE A HOLY PEOPLE TO HIMSELF, CHOSEN TO BE A SPECIAL PEOPLE ABOVE ALL PEOPLE THAT ARE UPON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

FOR THE GOD OF ISRAEL HAS INSTRUCTED HIS JEWISH PEOPLE TO LIVE THEIR LIVES ACCORDING TO HIS LAWS, HIS TEACHINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CALLED TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES THAT IS WRITTEN IN THE FIRST FIVE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE.  AND ACCORDING TO THE WORDS OF HIS PROPHETS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.

AND THE LORD TEACHES HIS JEWISH PEOPLE WHY THEY SHOULD DWELL ALONE AND BE SEPARATE FROM THE NATIONS.

BECAUSE THE NATIONS WILL TURN HIS JEWISH PEOPLE AWAY FROM SERVING THE LORD THEIR GOD TO SERVE OTHER GODS.

A GOOD EXAMPLE IS CHRISTIANITY.

CHRISTIANITY HAS ABOLISHED GOD’S LAW OF MOSES IN ITS ENTIRETY.

CHRISTIANITY HAS ABOLISHED ALL GOD’S LAWS, HIS TEACHINGS, AND ALL GOD’S INSTRUCTIONS. CHRISTIANITY HAS ABOLISHED GOD’S SABBATHS, HIS FOOD LAWS, HIS FESTIVALS OF LEVITICUS 23, AND EVERY LAW OF GOD WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.

ALL THE RELIGIONS OUTSIDE OF JUDAISM HAVE ABOLISHED GOD’S LAWS, TEACHINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES.

AND MUCH OF CHRISTIANITY SERVE A TRINITY OF THREE DIFFERENT gods.  THE FATHER IS a god.  THE SON JESUS CHRIST IS ANOTHER DIFFERENT god.  AND THE SPIRIT IS YET ANOTHER DIFFERENT god.  THREE DIFFERENT gods. THAT IS PAGANISM AND WRONG.

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD, YESHUA THE MESSIAH WHO IS THE FATHER, THE MESSIAH AND SON, AND THE SPIRIT AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.  ALL ONE AND THE SAME GOD.  ISAIAH 9.6, HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5, JOHN 12.45,49, JOHN 14.9

AND GOD WARNS HIS JEWISH PEOPLE THAT FOLLOWING THE FALSE DOCTRINE OF THE NATIONS WILL CAUSE THE ANGER OF THE LORD TO COME UPON HIS PEOPLE AND DESTROY THEM SUDDENLY.

DEUTERONOMY 7.1-6, DEUTERONOMY 4.35-40, DEUTERONOMY 5.6-7, DEUTERONOMY 6.4, ISAIAH 13.11, ISAIAH 24.4-6, ISAIAH 26.21, ISAIAH 42.8, ISAIAH 44.6-8, ISAIAH 45.5-6, MARK 12.28-31

PAUL WRITES THAT MESSIAH YESHUA IS OUR PEACE WHO HAS MADE BOTH JEWISH AND GENTILE ONE BY BREAKING DOWN THE MIDDLE WALL OF PARTITION.

THAT MIDDLE WALL OF PARTITION THAT SEPARATES PEOPLE FROM GOD IS DISOBEDIENCE AND REJECTION OF GOD’S TORAH, HIS LAW OF MOSES.  AND THE TRINITY OF THREE DIFFERENT gods.

WHEN THE NON-JEWISH BELIEVER IN MESSIAH YESHUA TURNS TO GOD AND FOLLOWS TORAH AND RECEIVES GOD’S DOCTRINE OF ONE GOD, THAT MIDDLE WALL OF PARTITION IS BROKEN DOWN.  BOTH BECOME ONE. EPHESIANS 2.14, EZEKIEL 18.21

AND WHO CAN COUNT THE DUST OF JACOB (ISRAEL) AND THE NUMBER OF THE FOURTH PART OF ISRAEL?  QUITE FRANKLY, NO ONE CAN.

I BELIEVE THE MEANING HAS TO DO WITH ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED.  AND THIS IS MY PERSONAL THOUGHT. ALL ISRAEL ARE ALL THE JEWISH PEOPLE WHOM GOD WILL SAVE TO ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN, AND ALL THE NON-JEWISH PEOPLE WHO WILL JOIN IN WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND BECOME FULLY PART OF GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE WHOM GOD WILL SAVE BECAUSE OF THEIR ATONEMENT IN THE MESSIAH YESHUA, AND THEIR OBEDIENCE TO TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES.

THAT IS ALL ISRAEL WHOM GOD WILL SAVE.

NO ONE CAN COUNT THE DUST OF JACOB (ISRAEL).  ONLY GOD CAN, AND ONLY GOD KNOWS AND PREORDAINED. EZEKIEL 37.10-14, PROVERBS 11.21, ROMANS 11.26

(PROVERBS 11.21) TODAY, THE RIGHTEOUS HAVE ATONEMENT IN THE MESSIAH YESHUA, HA SHEM, AND OBEY TORAH.

AND BALAAM SAID, LET ME DIE THE DEATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS, AND LET MY LAST END BE LIKE HIS (JACOB).

THAT NEVER HAPPENED TO BALAAM BECAUSE BALAAM WAS NEVER RIGHTEOUS.

A RIGHTEOUS PERSON OBEYS GOD, HIS LAWS, TEACHINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.  BALAAM DID NOT OBEY GOD.  IN FACT BALAAM CAUSED THE JEWISH PEOPLE TO SIN AGAINST GOD.  AND ISRAEL KILLED HIM.  NUMBERS 31.8.16

BALAAM DID NOT DIE THE DEATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS, NOR WAS HIS LAST END LIKE JACOB.  HE DIED THE DEATH OF THE UNRIGHTEOUS.

Our teaching from Torah, The Law of Moses will come from the Words of Numbers 22.1-22.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, WHO IS BALAAM?

And with that said, let’s read Numbers 22.1-12.

So the Children of Israel moved forward and camped in the Plains of Moab.  That is the Desert of Moab in the current day Kingdom of Jordan.  And they camped north of the Dead Sea near Jericho.

Now Israel was preparing to enter the Promised Land, the Land of Canaan.

But Balak, the King of Moab obviously saw with his own eyes what Israel had done to the Amorites.  Israel killed King Sihon, the King of the Amorites, and seized his Land, and possessed it.  NUMBERS 21.23-25

And Moab, the entire Country was terrified of Israel because there were so many, some three million Jewish People.  And the people of Moab were distressed, scared and nervous because of the Children of Israel.

So Balak, the King of Moab went to Midian and said to their elders, Now will this multitude lick up all that are round about us as the ox licks up the grass of the field.

Midian was an ancient Country south of Moab along the Gulf of Aqaba on the east.

Talk about a family feud.

The Children of Israel, the Jewish People are the Children of Abraham.

The Moabites descend from Abraham’s nephew Lot by Lot’s firstborn daughter.

The Amonites descend from Lot’s second daughter’s son.

And Midian was Abraham’s son from his second wife Keturah after Sarah died.

Then there are the Edomites who descend from Jacob’s twin brother Esau.  Jacob and Esau were Abraham’s grandsons, the children of Isaac.

Ishmael, the father of many Arabs is also a son of Abraham by his servant Hagar.  Ishmael comes into play years later when the Muslim Arabs clash with Israel.

The Gentiles, the non-Jewish People who have faith in The Messiah Yeshua, who believe GOD as Abraham believed GOD, and obey The LORD as Abraham obeyed GOD keeping GOD’S Commandments, His Statutes, and His Laws.  You also are the Children of Abraham.

GOD promised Abraham that he would be a father of many nations.  That he would be exceeding fruitful, and GOD would make nations of Abraham.  And Kings will come out of him.

GOD keeps and fulfills all His Promises.  His promises to Abraham, and every promise He speaks in The Bible, to you, to me, and to everyone.

GENESIS 21.12, GENESIS 12.5, GENESIS 19.36-38, GENESIS 25.1-2, GENESIS 16.3, 11, 12, GENESIS 25.30, GENESIS 17.5-6, GENESIS 26.5, GALATIANS 3.6-7

(Genesis 21.12)  The Jewish People, The Children of Israel descend from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

(Galatians 3.6-7)  Today, Gentile Believers having faith in Messiah Yeshua, who like Abraham believe GOD and obey GOD’S Commandments, Statutes and Laws, all written in the Law of Moses, you are the Children of Abraham. You are doing what GOD requires of you for Salvation and Eternal Life. GENESIS 15.6, GENESIS 26.5

Continuing with Israel, the Moabites, the Midianites, and Balaam;

So the Moabite King Balak sent messengers to Balaam to Pethor where Balaam lived.  Pethor was a City by the Euphrates River near current day Aleppo which was in the Land of the Hittites in Canaan.

And the messengers were told to say to Balaam, Behold, there is a People come out from Egypt.  Behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they sit next to me.

Come then, put a curse upon this People for they are too mighty for me.  Perhaps I will be able to prevail against this People and drive them out of the land.

For I know that he whom you bless is blessed.  And he whom you curse is cursed.

Now The Bible describes Balaam as a Gentile Prophet.  And he was a Prophet who spoke to GOD Face to face.

And he called The LORD GOD OF ISRAEL, my GOD.

But The Bible also describes Balaam as a man who had the ability to curse people, and he did curse people.

He was a man who used witchcraft and was paid for his evil deeds of witchcraft.

And Balaam’s ways were perverse.  He was wicked and corrupt.  He did not walk in the Ways of GOD.

And he caused the Children of Israel to sin against The LORD their GOD by doing the abominations of the Canaanite god peor.

And Balaam loved the wages of unrighteousness, and sought rewards and payment for his witchcraft.

And he caused Israel to sin by putting a stumbling block, a snare and a trap causing the Children of Israel to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.

And yes, Balaam was a Prophet, but GOD used him for His purpose.

And Israel killed Balaam.

NUMBERS 22.6, 7, 9, 18, 32, 33, NUMBERS 31.8, 16, JOSHUA 13.22, 2 PETER 2.14-15, 16, JUDE 11, REVELATION 2.14, REVELATION 21.8

So the elders of Moab, and the elders of Midian went to Balaam with payments for him to perform his divination, his witchcraft.

And the King’s messengers came to Balaam and spoke to him the words of the King of Moab.  CURSE ISRAEL.

And Balaam said to them, Spend the night here and I will bring you word again as The LORD shall speak to me.   So the elders of Moab and Midian stayed with Balaam.

AND GOD CAME TO BALAAM.

Yes, GOD came to Balaam, and said to him, Who are these men with you?

And Balaam said to GOD, Balak, the King of Moab sent them to me, saying, Behold there is a People come out of Egypt which covers the face of the earth.  Come now, curse them for me.  Perhaps I shall be able to overcome them and drive them out.

AND GOD SAID TO BALAAM, YOU SHALL NOT GO WITH THOSE MEN.  YOU SHALL NOT CURSE THE PEOPLE, FOR THEY ARE BLESSED.

MIGHTY WORDS INDEED.  A MIGHTY AND ETERNAL BLESSING FROM GOD FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND ISRAEL, AND ALL PEOPLE WHO JOIN THEMSELVES TO THE LORD, TO BE HIS SERVANTS.  EVERYONE THAT KEEPS HIS SABBATH ON SATURDAY FROM POLLUTING IT, AND TAKES HOLD OF GOD’S COVENANT, HIS WORD AND HIS LAW OF MOSES, AND BELIEVE IN ONE GOD AND NOT A TRINITY OF THREE DIFFERENT gods.

YESHUA THE MESSIAH IS THAT ONE GOD, GOD ALMIGHTY. ISAIAH 9.6, HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5, JOHN 12.45,49, JOHN 14.9

YOU ALSO WILL BE BLESSED AND NOT CURSED WHEN YOU DO EXACTLY AS GOD SAYS.  ISAIAH 56.6-7, MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4

AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE DID GOD USE BALAAM?

For a number of reasons that are taught in these passages in The Bible about Balaam that we’ll talk about in the coming weeks.

First, that Israel and the Jewish People are blessed, and not cursed.

THAT IS SO VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE EVERY JEWISH AND NON JEWISH PERSON IS BLESSED BY GOD IN THE LIFE THAT NOW IS, AND THE LIFE THAT IS TO COME BY LIVING ACCORDING TO EVERY WORD, LAW, INSTRUCTION AND TEACHING THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE IN THE LAW OF MOSES AND THE PROPHETS.  AND HAVING ATONEMENT IN THE JEWISH MESSIAH YESHUA WHO IS GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM.  IT’S THAT SIMPLE.  1 JOHN 5.3, 1 TIMOTHY 4.8 

AND THE WORDS THAT GOD SPOKE TO BALAAM IN NUMBERS 22.12, THAT YOU SHALL NOT CURSE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, THE JEWISH PEOPLE, FOR THEY ARE BLESSED, ARE WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE,

AND LEARN WHY ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE BLESSED BY GOD, AND NOT CURSED.

WHY MESSIAH YESHUA SAYS, “FOR SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS.”  DEUTERONOMY 10.12-13, ROMANS 11.26, ISAIAH 66.22, JOHN 4.22

Our teaching from Torah, The Law of Moses will come from Numbers 21.21-35.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, ISRAEL BEGINS TO POSSESS AND INHERIT THE PROMISED LAND.

And with that said. let’s read Numbers 21.21-35.

This is the beginning of Israel possessing and inheriting the Promised Land.  The land of Canaan that GOD promised in Covenant to give to the Jewish People for an everlasting possession.

GOD’S borders for Israel are from a river in Egypt to the Euphrates River.  The Euphrates River flows from Turkey, through the northern part of Syria near Aleppo, through the midsection of Iraq, south of Baghdad, into the Persian Gulf by Kuwait.

Today, Israel is much smaller.  However when Messiah Yeshua returns to establish His Messianic Kingdom on earth in Israel, Israel’s borders will return to GOD’S original borders that He promised the Jewish People. GENESIS 17.7-8, GENESIS 15.18-21, JOSHUA 23.4-6

NUMBERS 21.21-25  This was the beginning of Israel’s conquest of the land of Canaan, the inheritance the Jewish People received from The LORD THEIR GOD according to His promise to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the Jewish People.

The Jewish People – GENESIS 12.7

Isaac and the Jewish People – GENESIS 26.3-4

Jacob and the Jewish People – GENESIS 48.3-4

New Testament – ACTS 7.2, 5

The land of the Amorites that Israel conquered and possessed that became part of the Land of Israel was from the Arnon River to Jabbok.  Jabbok was where GOD wrestled with Jacob.

That land is in current day Jordan, east of The Dead Sea and The Jordan River.  The tribes of Reuben and Gad settled there.  GENESIS 32.22-30

The Amorites were Canaanites.  GENESIS 10.15-16, GENESIS 15.18-21

The Bible says the border of the children of Ammon was strong.  Meaning, I believe, that the Ammonites were a strong people to conquer.  290 years later David took Ammon.  2 SAMUEL 12.26-31

As a point of information, the children of Ammon descend from Lot’s younger daughter.  She had a son Ben Ammi, and he is the father of the Ammonites.

Lot’s firstborn daughter gave birth to a son and called his name Moab.  He is the father of the Moabites.  GENESIS 19.36-38

CHRISTIAN BIBLE, DEUTERONOMY 23.3-4, HEBREW BIBLE, DEUTERONOMY 23.4-5  The Ammonite or the Moabite shall not enter the Congregation of the  LORD even to their tenth generation forever.  

But Ruth, a Moabitess, who said to her Jewish mother-in law Naomi, “For where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge.  YOUR PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE, AND YOUR GOD MY GOD.”  

Ruth married Boaz, an Israeli Jewish man and she is in the lineage of King David and the Messiah Yeshua.

Today, the importance of Ruth’s example for Gentiles, non Jewish people to become fully part of GOD’S Chosen People is her decision to serve the GOD OF ISRAEL and live her life as GOD commands His Jewish People in the Bible.  And of course having faith in the Jewish Messiah Yeshua for atonement. That is Salvation and eternal life.  RUTH 1.3-5, 16-17, RUTH 4.13,21-22, MATTHEW 1.1-6

The Bible explains in Numbers 21.26-30 that years earlier, King Sihon the Amorite had fought against the king of Moab, and defeated him.  And King Sihon took all his land, the same land that Israel conquered from King Sihon and possessed that land.

Moab served the false god chemosh that was worshiped by child sacrifice.

And Israel dwelled in the land of the Amorites, today part of the Kingdom of Jordan.

The practices of the Canaanites is an abomination to The LORD OUR GOD.  DEUTERONOMY 18.9-14

And Moses sent spies to spy out a city called Jaazer.  That city also belonged to the Amorite King Sihon.  And Israel took the villages of Jaazer and drove out the Amorites that were there.

Then Israel moved northward toward Bashan, today the Golan in Israel, east of the Sea of Galilee.  And Og, the King of Bashan went out against Israel with his armies to battle the Children of Israel.

Remember, forty years earlier, the Children of Israel were slaves in Egypt.  Slaves for 400 years.  Now, with The LORD THEIR GOD going before them, having been taught GOD’S ways, as Paul writes in Ephesians 6, being strong in The LORD, in the power of His might, putting on the whole armor of GOD, loving The LORD THEIR GOD, obeying His Laws that are written in The Law of Moses.

GOD had made His People Israel not only a great Nation, but a mighty army.

So King Og of Bashan came out with his armies to battle the Jewish Nation in a city called Edrei in Bashan.  And King Og was of the legendary Rephaim who were Canaanite giants. Whose bed was 14 feet long, and 6 1/2 feet wide.  Whose very appearance, legend says, terrorized men.

And The LORD said to Moses, Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land.  And you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites.  And Israel killed King Og the giant, and his sons, and all his people until there were none left alive in King Og’s Kingdom.  And Israel possessed his land.  And half the tribe of Manasseh dwelled there.  DEUTERONOMY 3.11-13, AMOS 2.9-10

This forty year journey to the Promised Land by the Children of Israel who are better known today as the Jewish People, and from the time GOD took Abraham out of the Gentiles to be the father of the Jewish People, to make of him the great nation Israel, and to bring him into the land of Canaan.

And GOD blessed Abraham, and made his name great, and made him a blessing.

Well, this whole thought inspired me to think of Messiah Yeshua’s words, “For Salvation is of the Jews.”

Salvation does not come from the Gentiles, or the Christians, or the Catholics, or any other people.  For Salvation is of the Jews, Messiah said.  JOHN 4.22

Why is Salvation of the Jews?  For a number of reasons.

THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE ON EARTH WHOM GOD SAYS ARE A BLESSING TO ALL THE FAMILIES AND ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH.

GENESIS 12.1-3, GENESIS 18.16-18, GENESIS 22.15-18, GENESIS 26.1-4, GENESIS 28.10-14

THE FIRST WORDS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT ARE, “THE BOOK OF THE GENERATIONS OF YESHUA THE MESSIAH, THE SON OF DAVID, THE SON OF ABRAHAM.”  ALL ARE JEWISH.  MATTHEW 1.1, ACTS 3.25-26

So why are all the nations of the earth blessed in the Jewish People?

Because Salvation is of the Jews.

And because of the Jewish People, certain Gentiles will enter the Promised Land, the one thousand year Kingdom of GOD THE MESSIAH on earth in Israel, and eternal life in Heaven. 

HOW? 

BY THE NEW COVENANT FOR ATONEMENT WHO IS THE JEWISH MESSIAH YESHUA.  WHO WAS BORN FROM THE JEWISH PEOPLE AS A HUMAN BEING AND YET HE IS HA SHEM, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE.

THE JEWISH MESSIAH YESHUA IS THE ATONEMENT FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF THE SINS OF GOD’S JEWISH PEOPLE AND ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH, AND ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH.

AND

AS GOD’S WITNESSES, THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE CHOSEN BY GOD TO TELL THE NATIONS WHAT GOD REQUIRES OF YOU TO BE CHOSEN, AND HOLY, FULLY PART OF GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE.  AND WE HAVE DONE THAT THROUGH THE BIBLE.

YOU MUST LIVE YOUR LIFE PLEASING AND ACCEPTABLE TO GOD.  

FEARING THE LORD YOUR GOD, WALKING IN ALL HIS WAYS, AND LOVING HIM, AND SERVING THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL.

KEEPING THE COMMANDMENTS, AND HIS STATUTES THAT THE LORD YOUR GOD GAVE TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE DURING THEIR FORTY YEAR JOURNEY TO THE PROMISED LAND KNOWN AS THE LAW OF MOSES THAT GOD COMMANDS YOU TO DO FOR YOUR GOOD.

AND BELIEVING THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD, NOT A TRINITY OF THREE different gods. THAT IS PAGAN.

BELIEVING THE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF GOD IN THE BIBLE THAT MESSIAH YESHUA IS THE ONE AND ONLY GOD OF CREATION.  HE IS THE FATHER, THE SON OF GOD THE MESSIAH, THE SPIRIT, THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND SO VERY MUCH MORE. 

AND BY SO DOING AND BELIEVING, YOU HAVE SALVATION,

FOR SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS.  

JOHN 4.22, ISAIAH 44.8, DEUTERONOMY 10.12-13, ISAIAH 9.5, CHRISTIAN BIBLE ISAIAH 9.6, ISAIAH 53.10, LEVITICUS 17.11, JEREMIAH 31.31-34, EZEKIEL 18.21, ISAIAH 56.6-7, PSALM 105.8-10, JOHN 12.45,49, JOHN 14.9

ANOTHER PATH TO SALVATION, BECAUSE SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS, IS BLESSING THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND BLESSING ISRAEL.  GENESIS 12.3, MATTHEW 25.31-46

But there is a battle going on.  A mighty battle.

satan and his messengers say, You don’t have to obey The Law of Moses because the second god in the godhead Jesus Christ did away with The Law of Moses on the cross.

JESUS NEVER DID AWAY WITH THE LAW OF MOSES.

AND THERE IS NO SECOND GOD OR SECOND PERSON IN THE GODHEAD.

YESHUA THE MESSIAH IS THE GODHEAD.

THE MESSIAH YESHUA, THE JESUS CHRIST OF THE BIBLE IS THE GODHEAD.  

THE GODHEAD IS THE BEING AND NATURE OF ALMIGHTY GOD.  

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

THE WORD OF GOD THAT INCLUDES HIS LAW OF MOSES STANDS FOREVER.  IT NEVER CHANGES OR ENDS.  ONLY THE DOCTRINE OF THE FALSE BIBLE TEACHERS TEACH THAT JESUS ABOLISHED THE LAW OF MOSES.  ISAIAH 40.8

AND THE ALMIGHTY GOD “REQUIRES” YOU TO OBEY HIS LAW OF MOSES, AND HAVE ATONEMENT IN HIM FOR YOUR GOOD, EVEN SALVATION.

THAT IS JEWISH DOCTRINE FROM THE BIBLE FROM GENESIS THROUGH REVELATION.

FOR SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS.

Our teaching from Torah, The Law of Moses will come from Numbers 21.10-20.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, WHO IS THE LAWGIVER, GOD OR MOSES?

And with that said, let’s read Numbers 21.10-20.

And the Children of Israel journeyed forward to the Promised Land, the land of Canaan that GOD promised to give to the Jewish People for their Homeland for an everlasting possession.

Yet many nations do not believe GOD and strive to remove the Jewish People from their GOD-given country.  Because the nations do not know GOD, nor do they believe GOD.  Nor do they obey The Word of The Holy One of Israel.

They do not know that their obsession to drive the Jewish People out of their Homeland Israel is impossible because The Word of GOD stands forever. That GOD’S gifts and calling are irrevocable. For the battle belongs to The LORD OUR GOD, THE MIGHTY GOD OF ISRAEL.  GENESIS 12.7, GENESIS 17.7-8, GENESIS 21.12, ROMANS 9.7, ROMANS 11.29, ISAIAH 40.8

(GENESIS 21.12, ROMANS 9.7)  The People of GOD, the Jewish People are called by GOD from Isaac, his descendants, to be GOD’S Chosen People.  Not Ishmael and his descendants.

The Children of Israel journeyed from Kadesh which today is in the Sinai peninsula.  And they camped in a place called Oboth.  Oboth was near the border of Moab, current day Jordan, east of the Dead Sea.

And from Oboth, they journeyed to Ahyeel ha Avarim in the wilderness, also in Moab.  And from there they journeyed forward, and camped in the valley of Zared.  The boundary between Edom and Moab.

The Children of Israel were on the eastern side of the Jordan River, opposite Jericho.  Their destination to Canaan, the Promised Land, was within visible reach.

And from the valley of Zared, they set out to the other side of the Arnon River which was the border of Moab between Moab and the Amorites.

The capital of Jordan is Amman, perhaps named after the ancient and extinct country of Ammon.

NUMBERS 21.14-15  Thus the Bible says, It is said in the Book of the wars of The LORD what GOD did in the Red Sea and in the brooks of Arnon.  The Book of the wars of The LORD is a reference to an ancient collection that does not exist today that describes Israel’s battles in Bible times.

However what does exist today are numerous books that describe the battles of Israel, and the Jewish People from the time of the Exodus 3,400 years ago, along with the battles the Jewish People faced in foreign countries away from their Homeland Israel.

From the year 1,000 A.D. to 1900 A.D., and later, Jews have been expelled from their homes in foreign countries numerous times as a result of trumped up charges against them or Judaism.  Later determined to be false.  And later allowed to return.

At other times, Jewish People were expelled from where they had made their homes because of economic situations when the authorities believed the city or country would be improved if the Jews were expelled and removed.

The following list is far from complete of major Jewish communities driven out and expelled by its host country, only to be let back in again.  And later to be expelled again.

And the list does not include the Arab nations that have expelled all the Jewish People from their countries.

• Jews were expelled from Mainz, Germany in 1012, 1438, 1462, and 1483.
• Jews were expelled from France in 1182, 1306, 1322, and 1394
• From upper Bavaria in Germany in 1276, 1442, and 1551.
• From England in 1290
• From Lyon, France in 1420
• From Cologne, Germany in 1424
• From Augsburg, Germany in 1439
• From Brandenburg, Germany in 1446 and 1510
• From Warsaw, Poland in 1483
• From Spain in 1492
• From Italy in 1492
• From Portugal in 1496
• From Naples, Italy in 1496, 1533, and 1541
• From Nuremburg, Germany in 1498
• From Genoa, Italy in 1515 and 1550
• From Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1557
• From the Papal states in 1569
• From Hamburg, Germany in 1649
• From Vienna, Austria in 1669
• From Bohemia and Moravia in Germany in 1744
• And from Moscow in 1819

These scars never leave.

Then there were the Russian pogroms, organized massacres of Jews from 1881 to 1884, 1903 to 1906, and 1914 to 1921 where Russian civilians attacked many different Jewish communities destroying Jewish property, looting, murdering, and raping Jews.

Add to the above the Jew hatred that killed millions of Jews in the Crusades, the Inquisitions, and the Holocaust.

And then there are the wars of today when Israel is attacked by Arab nations.

From 1947 to 1949 when Israel was declared a sovereign state, Israel was attacked by Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, a group called the holy war army consisting of Palestinians, and another group called the ARA.  I do not know who they are or were.  Of course with the Mighty Hand of GOD Israel was victorious.

Then the six day war in 1967 when Egypt mobilized troops in the Sinai to battle Israel.  And induced Syria and Jordan to join them.  Israel was victorious in six days killing 20,000 Arabs.

From 1967 to 1970 was the war of attrition over the Sinai peninsula.  Israel fought Egypt, the Soviet Union, the PLO, Jordan, and even some Cubans.  Both sides claimed victory.

Then came the Yom Kippur war in 1973, from October 6, to October 25, 1973.  Israel was attacked by Egypt and Syria.  Israel was victorious.

On March 14, 1978, Israel launched operation Litani up to the Litani River in Lebanon after a PLO terror attack ordered by Yasser Arafat on a civilian Israeli bus killing 35 civilians.  The Israel Defense Forces killed between 1100 and 2,000 Lebanese and Palestinians.  20 Israelis were killed. And between 100,000 and 230,000 people in Lebanon were displaced.

And the Arab wars continue almost daily with rockets from Gaza and wars with Lebanon.  These wars will not end until MESSIAH YESHUA, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY returns and kills all the enemies of Israel. SEE  ZECHARIAH CHAPTER 14

Evidence of the many nations and peoples including the United Nations who despise Israel and the Jewish People who are the Chosen of GOD, Whom GOD Chose to be a Holy People and a Special People to Himself above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

THE PEOPLE WHO HATE ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE SHOW THEIR HATRED OF GOD.

FULFILLING THE WORDS OF THE PROPHET ISAIAH THAT READ, “THUS SAITH THE LORD THE REDEEMER OF ISRAEL, HIS HOLY ONE, TO HIM WHO IS DESPISED OF MEN, TO HIM WHO IS ABHORRED OF NATIONS.”  DEUTERONOMY 7.6,  ISAIAH 49.7, GENESIS 12.3

Let’s return to Israel’s journey to Canaan, the Promised Land.

From the Arnon River, Israel journeyed to Beer, meaning well, which was on the northern border of Moab near the Dead Sea.  That is where GOD spoke to Moses, and said, “Gather the People together and I will give them water.”

And Israel sang this song.  Spring up O well.  Sing to it.  Dug by the princes.  The leaders of the people dug it by the direction of The Lawgiver with their own staffs.

We’ll get to the question of The Lawgiver in a moment.

And from the wilderness, they journeyed to the top of Pisgah which is by Mt. Nebo that looks toward Jeshimon, a barren place at the northeast end of the Dead Sea.

There on Mt. Nebo, GOD would show Moses all the Land of Israel.  But according to The Word of GOD, Moses did not enter into the Promised Land.  He died in the land of Moab, and GOD buried him in a valley, in current day Jordan. DEUTERONOMY 34.1-7

Okay.  Who is The Lawgiver, GOD or Moses?

The answer, GOD is The Lawgiver.  ISAIAH 33.22

The LORD is our Judge.  The Judge of the whole earth Who passes judgment on all people, innocent or guilty.

The LORD is our Lawgiver to all mankind.  He is GOD Almighty, The Messiah Yeshua, Ha Shem.  He has put His Law into effect for all mankind forever.  He has established His Laws that are written in The Law of Moses for all mankind forever.

And all GOD’S Laws are made known in The Bible for all mankind to do and obey.  Forever.

And The LORD is our King.  He is The One and Only King over all the earth.  He is Yeshua The Messiah, Ha Shem, The Holy One of Israel.

GENESIS 18.25, PSALM 75.8, CHRISTIAN BIBLE PSALM 75.7, REVELATION 19.11-16, REVELATION 20.11-15, ISAIAH 9.5, CHRISTIAN BIBLE ISAIAH 9.6, JOHN 12.45, 49, JOHN 14.9, PSALM 74.12, PSALM 89.19, CHRISTIAN BIBLE PSALM 89.18, JEREMIAH 23.5-6, ZECHARIAH 9.9, MATTHEW 21.1-5, ZECHARIAH 14.9, MATTHEW 25.31-34, 46

And The LORD, The Lawgiver will save us.  ISAIAH 25.9, MATTHEW 1.21

GOD THE LAWGIVER IS NOT ONLY THE GOD OF THE JEWS, HE IS ALSO THE GOD OF THE GENTILES.  ROMANS 3.29-31, ROMANS 1.7

(ROMANS 3.31)  PAUL TEACHES THE GENTILE BELIEVERS, THE NON JEWISH BELIEVERS IN MESSIAH THAT THEY MUST NOT VOID THE LAW BECAUSE OF THEIR FAITH IN MESSIAH YESHUA, BUT TO ESTABLISH THE LAW OF MOSES IN THEIR LIVES.

THE GREAT COMMISSION COMMANDED BY GOD THE LAWGIVER WHO IS MESSIAH YESHUA IS TAUGHT INCORRECTLY AND DISHONESTLY BY BOATLOADS OF BIBLE TEACHERS. MATTHEW 28.19-20

MESSIAH YESHUA NEVER, NEVER SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES, GO, THEREFORE AND TEACH ALL NATIONS THAT THE LAW OF MOSES WAS ABOLISHED AT MY DEATH ON THE CROSS.  GOD FORBID.

MESSIAH SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES, GO, AND TEACH THE WORD OF GOD TO ALL NATIONS THAT INCLUDE ALL GOD’S LAWS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES, AND THE WORDS OF THE PROPHETS.  AND ATONEMENT THROUGH HIS DEATH, BURIAL AND RESURRECTION

MESSIAH NEVER EVER TOLD HIS DISCIPLES TO BAPTIZE INTO THE TRINITY OF THREE DIFFERENT GODS, THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH IS PAGAN.  MESSIAH TOLD HIS DISCIPLES TO BAPTIZE INTO THE ONE GOD WHO IS THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE ONE GOD OF CREATION.

AND MESSIAH SAID, TEACH THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU.

MESSIAH YESHUA NEVER TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES OR ANYONE THAT SUNDAY IS THE SABBATH.  OR YOU CAN EAT ALL THE ABOMINABLE FOODS THAT ARE ABOMINATIONS TO THE LORD THAT ARE WRITTEN IN LEVITICUS 11 AND DEUTERONOMY 14.

MESSIAH NEVER TOLD HIS DISCIPLES TO TEACH ALL NATIONS THAT GOD’S FESTIVALS OF LEVITICUS 23 ARE ABOLISHED TO BE REPLACED BY PAGAN HOLIDAYS.

MESSIAH YESHUA WHO IS GOD ALMIGHTY, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL TOLD HIS DISCIPLES TO TEACH ALL THINGS THAT HE COMMANDED THEM.  AND ALL THOSE THINGS THAT MESSIAH COMMANDED THEM ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES, THE PROPHETS, AND THE WRITINGS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.

AND MESSIAH SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES, AND TO HIS DISCIPLES OF TODAY WHO TEACH THE TRUTH OF GOD AS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE, I AM WITH YOU FOREVER. 

THE SAME INSTRUCTIONS ARE GIVEN TO HIS DISCIPLES IN ACTS 1.8

PAUL WRITES IN 2 CORINTHIANS 11.3-4; “BUT I FEAR LEST BY ANY MEANS, AS THE SERPENT BEGUILED EVE THROUGH HIS SUBTLETY, SO YOUR MINDS SHOULD BE CORRUPTED FROM THE SIMPLICITY THAT IS IN MESSIAH.

FOR IF HE THAT COMES PREACHES ANOTHER JESUS WHOM WE HAVE NOT PREACHED, OR IF YOU RECEIVE ANOTHER SPIRIT WHICH YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED, OR ANOTHER GOSPEL WHICH YOU HAVE NOT ACCEPTED, YOU MIGHT WELL RECEIVE IT.”

THE JESUS TAUGHT TODAY IN ALL CHRISTIAN AND MOST JEWISH RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS IS NOT THE JESUS OF THE BIBLE BUT ANOTHER JESUS.

IT IS SAID THAT THE TRINITY OF ONE GOD BEING THREE DIFFERENT GODS IS A MYSTERY.

NO, THE TRINITY IS NOT A MYSTERY.  THE TRINITY IS A LIE.

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND NO OTHERS.

GOD’S COMMANDMENT IS EASY, VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND BELIEVE.  

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD.

NOT THREE DIFFERENT GODS.

THAT IS PAGAN.

PEOPLE MAY NOT UNDERSTAND GOD BEING IN DIFFERENT PLACES AT THE SAME TIME AS MESSIAH SPEAKING TO THE FATHER.  GOD CAN BE IN MANY PLACES AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE HE IS GOD.  YET THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD.

THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND. PSALM 110.1. YET THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD.

OR. ELOHIM SAID, LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE AFTER OUR LIKENESS.  GENESIS 1.26.  YET THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD WHO IS THE FATHER, THE MESSIAH, THE SON, THE SPIRIT, THE HOLY SPIRIT, MELCHIZEDEK, AN SO MUCH MORE. HEBREWS 7.1-3  

OR THE LORD RAINED UPON SODOM AND GOMORRAH BRIMSTONE AND FIRE FROM THE LORD OUT OF HEAVEN. GENESIS 19.24.  YET THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND NO OTHERS.

BELIEVE GOD THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND NO OTHERS BESIDE HIM AND GOD WILL GIVE YOU UNDERSTANDING.

GOD IS NOT A HUMAN BEING.  HE IS GOD ALMIGHTY WHO HAS NO BEGINNING AND NO END.  THINK ON THAT FOR A MOMENT.  

GOD ALMIGHTY IS THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH WHO SPOKE THE CREATION INTO EXISTENCE. THINK ON THAT FOR A MOMENT.  GENESIS 1

AND THERE IS NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD.  THINK ON THAT FOR A MOMENT.  GENESIS 18.14, LUKE 1.37 

OBEYING EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE, AND BELIEVING THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND NO OTHERS IS THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR WALK WITH THE LORD YOUR GOD, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.

EXODUS 20.3, DEUTERONOMY 6.4, MARK 12.29, DEUTERONOMY 4.35, 39, ISAIAH 9.5, CHRISTIAN BIBLE ISAIAH 9.6, JOHN 12.45, 49, JOHN 14.9, DEUTERONOMY 8.3, MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4, ETC.

Since The Bible is written to the world about GOD Who created the heavens and the earth, and is our Judge, Lawgiver, and King Who saves us, these Words of GOD spoken through His servant and prophet Moses are for everyone.

“The secret things belong to The LORD our GOD.  But those things which are revealed belong to us, and to our children forever to do all The Words of this Law (The Law of Moses).” DEUTERONOMY 29.28, CHRISTIAN BIBLE DEUTERONOMY 29.29
