Shalom.

Our teaching from Torah, GOD’S Law of Moses will continue from Numbers 24.10-17.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, THE STAR OUT OF JACOB, AND THE SCEPTER THAT WILL RISE OUT OF ISRAEL WILL DESTROY THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL.

So with that said, let’s read Numbers 24.10-17

King Balak was outraged at the pagan prophet Balaam.  And because of his anger, he slapped his hands together in frustration because Balaam would not curse Israel.

GOD WILL NEVER ALLOW HIS PEOPLE ISRAEL TO BE CURSED.

Not only did THE LORD GOD say to Balaam, “You shall not curse the People for they are blessed”, THE LORD also said, “Blessed is he who blesses Israel, and cursed is he who curses Israel.”  NUMBERS 22.12, NUMBERS 24.9

Balaam had met with The Lord three times hoping to curse Israel while they were on their way to the Promised Land, Canaan.  But GOD would not allow that.

Nevertheless GOD had a purpose for Balaam.  To reveal to the world, as recorded in The Bible, GOD’S love for Israel and the Jewish People.  And GOD’S blessings for those Nations and Gentiles who bless Israel and The Jewish People.  And His curses for those Nations and Gentiles who curse Israel and The Jewish People.

The time of Israel’s forty year journey to the Promised land was coming to an end.  Israel, some three million Jewish People and a mixed multitude of Gentiles were at the doorstep of Canaan, The Promised Land.  They were in the ancient country of Moab, current day Jordan that was on the border of Canaan.

And the first time Balaam was sent by Balak, King of Moab to curse the Children of Israel, Balaam met YESHUA THE MESSIAH, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY face to Face.  And The LORD told Balaam, “You shall not curse the People for they are blessed.”

The second time Balaam met with The LORD at King Balak’s request to curse Israel, The LORD told Balaam to speak to Balak only those Words that HE, GOD spoke to him.

And Balaam said to King Balak, “How shall I curse whom GOD has not cursed?  Or how shall I defy whom The LORD has not defied?

For from the top of the rocks I see him (Israel).

Lo, 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 (Israel).”  NUMBERS 23.7-10

And again King Balak was upset with Balaam.

And again The LORD met Balaam, and again The LORD put His Word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Go again to Balak and say thus.

And Balaam said to King Balak, Rise up Balak, and hear. Listen to me son of Zippor.  GOD is not a man that He should lie.  Neither a human being that He should change His Mind. Has He said, and shall He not do it?  Or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?

MEANING, THE WORD THAT GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE STANDS FOREVER AND NEVER CHANGES.  AND ALL THAT GOD SAYS, HE WILL DO.

And Balaam continued, Behold, I have received Commandment to bless, and He has blessed.  And I cannot reverse it.  He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob. Neither has He seen perverseness in Israel.  The LORD HIS GOD is with him.  And the shout of a King is among them.

THAT KING IS GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM, MESSIAH YESHUA.

GOD brought The Children of Israel out of Egypt, The LORD said through Balaam.

Israel has the strength of a wild ox. Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob.  Neither is there any divination against Israel.  According to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has GOD done?

Behold, the People shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion.  He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.  NUMBERS 23.18-24

So King Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse the Children of Israel, nor bless them.  But Balaam said to the King,  Didn’t I tell you that all The LORD speaks, that I must do.

But the King sent Balaam to another place to curse Israel.

And Balaam went, and looked and saw the Children of Israel in their tents according to their tribes.  And The Spirit of GOD came upon Balaam moving him to prophesy as GOD moved him.

And he spoke The Word of GOD which The LORD spoke to him which Balaam saw in a vision of The ALMIGHTY as he lay prostrate on the ground.  And he went and said to King Balak.

How goodly are your tents O Jacob, and your tabernacles O Israel.  As the valleys, they are spread out as gardens by the sides of the rivers.  As the trees of lign aloes which The LORD has planted.  And as cedar trees beside the waters.

He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters.  And his King shall be higher than Agag. And his Kingdom shall be exalted.

GOD brought him forth out of Egypt.  He has the strength of a wild ox.

He shall eat up the Nations, his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion.  Who shall stir him up?

Blessed is he that blesses you, and cursed is he that curses you.  NUMBERS 24.2-9

So in Balaam’s meetings with THE MESSIAH YESHUA, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, GOD told the pagan prophet of his love for Israel and the Jewish People.  And the Power and Might He has given Israel and the Jewish People.  And His Love and Blessings to those who bless Israel and the Jewish People.  And GOD’S promise to curse those who curse Israel and the Jewish People.

In summary, The LORD told Balaam, all recorded in The Bible for the world to see, that GOD loves Israel and the Jewish People.  And The LORD loves those people who bless Israel and the Jewish People.

But The LORD GOD curses those who curse Israel and the Jewish People.  For The LORD THEIR GOD is with them.  And no one can curse Israel.  For the Jewish People are blessed.

GOD says that Israel dwells alone and separate from the Nations.  Why?  Because The Word of GOD is in the hearts of Israel and the Jewish People forever.  They are GOD’S Chosen People.  While the Nations reject The Word of GOD that is written in The Bible.

GOD ALMIGHTY, THE KING OF ISRAEL has given Israel the strength of a wild ox, even the strength of a great lion.  For GOD sees Israel strong and beautiful in His sight.  Saying that Israel will defeat her enemies.

FOR THE LORD GOD EXALTS THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL.

So King Balak was enraged with Balaam for not cursing Israel, but rather blessing Israel.

And the King told the pagan prophet Balaam to leave and go home.  But Balaam said to the King, I will advise you what this People Israel shall do to your people in the latter days.  NUMBERS 24.14

And Balaam took up his parable and said, Balaam, the son of Beor has said, and the man whose eyes are open has said. He has said which heard The Words of GOD, and knew the knowledge of The Most High, which saw the vision of The ALMIGHTY, falling prostrate, but having his eyes open.

AND BALAAM SPOKE THIS PROPHESY OF GOD. NUMBERS 24.17

I SHALL SEE HIM BUT NOT NOW.  I SHALL BEHOLD HIM, BUT NOT NEAR.  THERE SHALL COME A STAR OUT OF JACOB, AND A SCEPTER SHALL RISE OUT OF ISRAEL, AND SHALL SMITE THE CORNERS OF MOAB, AND DESTROY ALL THE CHILDREN OF SHETH.

THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHESY WERE SPOKEN 3,400 YEARS AGO ABOUT MESSIAH YESHUA’S FIRST AND SECOND COMINGS.

Messiah came the first time 1,400 years after the Prophesy was spoken.

Messiah’s second coming will take place in the future immediately after the great tribulation.  A tribulation the world has never witnessed.  MATTHEW 24.29-31

Balaam said, I shall see Him, THE MESSIAH YESHUA, but not now.  I shall look at Him, but not soon.

Which leads me to believe that Balaam will see Messiah Yeshua in The Messianic Kingdom in Israel, and in Heaven because Balaam said, I shall see Him, but not now.  I shall look at Him, but not soon.

And continuing with the Prophesy, THE LORD GOD said through the prophet, There shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel.

THE STAR, I BELIEVE, IS ONE WHO IS ILLUSTRIOUS AS A PRINCE OR KING IS ILLUSTRIOUS.  HE WILL COME OUT OF JACOB.  THAT IS TO SAY, HE WILL BE FROM THE JEWISH PEOPLE.   

THE STAR OUT OF JACOB IS THE JEWISH MESSIAH YESHUA.

AND A SCEPTER SHALL RISE OUT OF ISRAEL.

SCEPTER IN HEBREW IS SHAYVET, A STAFF HELD BY A KING.

THE SCEPTER THAT SHALL RISE OUT OF ISRAEL IS A SPECIAL AND UNIQUE KING.  AND THAT SPECIAL AND UNIQUE KING IS THE KING OF ISRAEL, THE MESSIAH YESHUA. 

LET’S LOOK AT SOME SCRIPTURES THAT CONFIRM THAT THE KING THAT SHALL RISE OUT OF ISRAEL IS YESHUA THE MESSIAH.  HE IS ALSO HA SHEM ELOHIM, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, THE KING OF ISRAEL.

HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5-6, CHRISTIAN BIBLE ISAIAH 9.6-7  FOR UNTO THE JEWISH PEOPLE A CHILD IS BORN. UNTO THE JEWISH PEOPLE, A SON IS GIVEN.

THAT SPECIAL AND UNIQUE CHILD AND SON BORN TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE IS THE MESSIAH YESHUA, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM ELOHIM.

AND THE GOVERNMENT SHALL BE UPON HIS SHOULDER.

GOVERNMENT IN HEBREW IS MEESRAH MEANING KINGDOM AND DOMINION.  

AND THAT GOVERNMENT WILL BE UPON HIS SHOULDER.

AND THE ONE WHO WILL RULE, AND REIGN AS KING OVER THE KINGDOM, THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL DURING THE MESSIANIC AGE FOR 1,000 YEARS AND THROUGHOUT ETERNITY, WHOSE NAME SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE, IS THE MESSIAH YESHUA, THE KING OF ISRAEL.

OF THE INCREASE OR GREATNESS OF HIS GOVERNMENT AND PEACE THERE SHALL BE NO END UPON THE THRONE OF DAVID, AND UPON HIS KINGDOM TO ORDER IT, AND TO ESTABLISH IT WITH JUDGMENT AND WITH JUSTICE FROM THIS TIME EVEN FOREVER.  THE ZEAL OF THE LORD OF HOSTS WILL PERFORM THIS.

SITTING UPON THE THRONE OF DAVID WILL BE THE SON OF DAVID WHOSE NAME IS WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE.  

HE IS KING MESSIAH YESHUA.

MATTHEW 1.1  MESSIAH YESHUA IS THE KING OF ISRAEL, THE SON OF DAVID.  HE IS JEWISH FROM ABRAHAM AND DAVID.

MICAH 5.1 HEBREW BIBLE, MICAH 5.2 CHRISTIAN BIBLE. THE FUTURE RULER AND KING OF ISRAEL DURING MESSIANIC TIMES AND THROUGHOUT ETERNITY IN HEAVEN WILL BE BORN IN BETHLEHEM OF JUDAH. WHOSE ORIGINS HAVE NO BEGINNING OR END.  HE IS ETERNAL FROM EVERLASTING.  

WHOSE NAME SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE.  

HE IS THE MESSIAH YESHUA, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM ELOHIM.

ANOTHER SCRIPTURE OF PROPHESY DESCRIBING THE STAR AND SCEPTER OUT OF JACOB AND ISRAEL IS JEREMIAH 23.5-6.  

THE RIGHTEOUS BRANCH RAISED UNTO DAVID WHO SHALL REIGN AND PROSPER, IS THE KING, MESSIAH YESHUA, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

DANIEL 7.13-14  THE ONE GIVEN DOMINION, AND GLORY, AND A KINGDOM THAT ALL PEOPLE, NATIONS, AND LANGUAGES SHALL SERVE HIM, THAT IS EVERLASTING, WHICH SHALL NOT PASS AWAY, AND HIS KINGDOM THAT SHALL NOT BE DESTROYED IS THE KING OF ISRAEL, THE MESSIAH YESHUA.

THE ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN, MESSIAH YESHUA, WHO WILL COME WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN TO THE ANCIENT OF DAYS, HA SHEM, GOD ALMIGHTY, ARE ELOHIM, THE ONE GOD OF CREATION, THE MESSIAH YESHUA, THE GOD OF ISRAEL, THE KING OF ISRAEL.  GENESIS 1.26

ZECHARIAH 9.9  YOUR KING, WHO IS VICTORIOUS, TRIUMPHANT, JUST, HAVING SALVATION, LOWLY, RIDING UPON A DONKEY INTO JERUSALEM WAS THE KING OF ISRAEL, MESSIAH YESHUA, HA SHEM, GOD ALMIGHTY.  MATTHEW 21.1-9

ZECHARIAH 14.9  THE LORD WHO WILL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH IS THE MESSIAH YESHUA, HA SHEM.

MATHEW 2.1-2, MATTHEW 25.31-46, LUKE 1.26-33, JOHN 18.37, ISAIAH 7.14

AND THE PROPHESY OF NUMBERS 24.17 CONTINUES.  

THE STAR OUT OF JACOB, AND THE SCEPTER THAT SHALL RISE OUT OF ISRAEL SHALL CRUSH AND DESTROY THE CORNERS OF MOAB, CURRENT DAY JORDAN, AND DESTROY THE CHILDREN OF SHETH.

THE CHILDREN OF SHETH ARE THE CHILDREN OF TUMULT, WHO ARE THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL.

AND ACCORDING TO ZECHARIAH 14.2, ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD ARE THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL.

FOR GOD SAYS IN ZECHARIAH 14.2, “I WILL GATHER ALL NATIONS AGAINST JERUSALEM TO BATTLE.”  

AND THE END OF THOSE NATIONS WHO BATTLE JERUSALEM IS A PLAGUE AND DESTRUCTION. ZECHARIAH 14.12

ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD ARE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL. AND THAT IS PROVEN TODAY AT THE UNITED NATIONS.

THE UNITED NATIONS  CONTINUE TO CONDEMN ISRAEL FOR BUILDING SETTLEMENTS IN THEIR OWN LAND IN THE WEST BANK WHICH IS JUDEA AND SAMARIA, FULLY PART OF THE LAND OF ISRAEL THAT GOD GAVE TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE FOR AN EVERLASTING POSSESSION.

THE UNITED NATIONS AND THE WORLD OF GENTILE NATIONS SAY IT IS INTERNATIONAL LAW THAT ISRAEL CANNOT BUILD IN THE WEST BANK BECAUSE THE LAND BELONGS TO THE PALESTINIAN ARABS.

THAT IS NOT TRUE. NO LAND IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL BELONGS TO THE PALESTINIAN ARABS OR ANY OTHER PEOPLE.  ALL THE LAND OF ISRAEL BELONGS TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

LET ME SAY THIS.  GOD OVERRULES INTERNATIONAL LAW.

THE NATIONS ARE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL, AND ENEMIES OF GOD BECAUSE THE WORD OF GOD IN THE BIBLE SAYS VERY CLEARLY, “THE LAND OF ISRAEL BELONGS TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE FOR AN EVERLASTING POSSESSION.”

BUT THE WORLD, AND SADLY EVEN TOO MANY JEWISH PEOPLE REJECT THE WORD OF GOD THAT SAYS, “THE LAND OF ISRAEL SHALL NOT BE SOLD OR SURRENDERED FOR ANY REASON FOREVER.  FOR THE LAND BELONGS TO GOD. AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE STRANGERS AND SETTLERS IN THE LAND WITH GOD.” GENESIS 17.8, LEVITICUS 25.23

SADLY, THE WORLD COULD CARE LESS WHAT GOD SAYS.

AND THE END RESULT FOR THE GENTILE NATIONS IS THIS.  GOD ALMIGHTY, KING MESSIAH YESHUA WILL CRUSH AND DESTROY ALL THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL WHO ARE ALSO THE ENEMIES OF GOD.

REVELATION 19.16-21, PSALM 2.1-12, ISAIAH 24.1-6, ISAIAH 34.1-3, EZEKIEL 38 AND 39, MALACHI 4.1, HEBREW BIBLE MALACHI 3.19 

AS THE LORD GOD SAYS,THOSE WHO BLESS ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE SHALL BE BLESSED.  AND THOSE WHO CURSE ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE, GOD WILL CURSE.

HE WHO HAS EARS TO HEAR, LET THEM HEAR.

Our teaching from Torah, The Law of Moses will continue from Numbers 24.1-9.  But first we will read Numbers 23.27-30.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, GOD CONTINUES TO POUR OUT HIS BLESSINGS UPON ISRAEL AND UPON ALL WHO BLESS ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

So with that said, let’s read Numbers 23.27-30 followed by Numbers 24.1-9.

Balak, the King of Moab, current day Jordan was like most people today.  The King did not, and would not receive the Word of GOD.  He was set on having the pagan Prophet Balaam curse Israel.

The Children of Israel were approaching Canaan, the Promised Land.  And earlier, the King had heard Balaam’s Words that GOD spoke to him saying “You shall not curse the People for they are blessed.”  NUMBERS 22.12

But instead of receiving The Word of GOD and doing what GOD said, the King brought Balaam to another place, to the top of Peor, a mountain northeast of the Dead Sea that overlooked the desert wasteland.

And the King said to Balaam, perhaps it will please GOD to “curse” Israel from there.

And again, Balaam said to King Balak, build seven altars for me and sacrifice seven bulls and seven rams.  And the King did as Balaam said.

This is almost laughable.  These two guys both refuse to obey GOD.  GOD said, “You shall not curse the People for they are blessed.” But these two men are still intent on cursing Israel.

But the same acts of disobedience to GOD are happening today.  People read GOD’S spoken Word in The Bible, but refuse to obey what GOD says.

For example.  In Matthew 4.4 and Luke 4.4, Yeshua said, “It is written (Deuteronomy 8.3), Man shall not live by bread alone but by every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of GOD.”

But today, man does very little if anything what GOD says in The Bible.  That is disobedience to GOD.  In fact, that is what sin is, disobeying GOD.

AND IN MANY PLACES THE CONGREGANTS ARE TAUGHT TO SIN AGAINST GOD.  THEY TEACH THEM NOT TO OBEY GOD.

A FRIGHTFUL EXAMPLE IS MOST BIBLE TEACHERS TEACH THAT IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO OBEY THE LAW OF MOSES. SOME BIBLE TEACHERS EVEN GO SO FAR AS TO SAY YOU WILL LOSE YOUR SALVATION IF YOU OBEY THE LAW OF MOSES.

THE LAW OF MOSES IS THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD.

ANOTHER SCARY EXAMPLE OF DISOBEYING GOD IS REJECTING HIS SABBATH ON SATURDAY.

GOD says, “Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it Holy.  Six days shall you labor and do all your work.  But the seventh day (Saturday) is the Sabbath of THE LORD YOUR GOD.  In it you shall not do any work.”  EXODUS 20.8-11

Yet much of the Church rejects GOD’S Saturday Sabbath and replaces it with Sunday, or any day a person chooses for their Sabbath.  All disobedience to GOD.

ANOTHER FRIGHTFUL EXAMPLE OF THE CHURCH AND MANY MESSIANIC CONGREGATIONS AND THEIR CONGREGANTS REJECTING THE WORD OF GOD IS, EVEN THOUGH GOD HIMSELF, YESHUA THE MESSIAH SAYS THAT HE IS THE FATHER, “WHEN YOU SEE ME, YESHUA SAID, YOU SEE THE FATHER.”

BUT MANY WHO CALL THEMSELVES BELIEVERS IN THE MESSIAH YESHUA REJECT BIBLICAL FACT THAT MESSIAH YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST “IS GOD THE FATHER”

JOHN 12.45, 49, JOHN 14.9, ISAIAH 9.6, HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5, MICAH 5.2, HEBREW BIBLE MICAH 5.1

However when Balaam the pagan Prophet saw that it pleased The LORD to bless Israel, he decided not to use witchcraft to curse Israel as he attempted in the past.

So The Bible says, Balaam looked out toward the wilderness. And the wilderness that Balaam saw was the desert.  The same type of desert we have here in Nevada and Arizona.

And Balaam looked and saw all Israel dwelling in their tents according to their tribes, camped around the Tabernacle.

AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD CAME UPON BALAAM.  AND BALAAM PROPHESIED AS GOD MOVED HIM.  NUMBERS 11.25, 1 SAMUEL 10.5, 6, 9, 10, 1 SAMUEL 19.20, 23

And Balaam took up this parable, saying, Balaam the son of Beor has said, and the man whose eyes are open has said, who heard the Word’s of GOD, who saw the Vision of The ALMIGHTY, falling prostrate, but having his eyes open, went on to speak as GOD moved him.

NUMBERS 24.5-6  And GOD continued to bless Israel, telling Balaam, “How goodly are your tents O Jacob (Israel), and your dwelling places O Israel.”

The Hebrew word for GOODLY is TOV also meaning Beautiful and Pleasant.  Thus GOD said through the Prophet Balaam, “How Goodly, and Beautiful and Pleasant are your tents O Jacob and your dwelling places O Israel.”

But remember, Balaam was looking out into a barren and arid desert, seeing all Israel dwelling in their tents.

However in the Vision that GOD revealed to him, Israel was dwelling as lush valleys spread out as gardens by the sides of the rivers.  And as trees of lign aloe.  Great trees towering 100 to 120 feet high with an aroma of perfume.  Which in the vision, The LORD GOD had planted Israel.  They were as cedar trees beside the waters.  Mighty, Strong, and Beautiful. PSALM 45.6-8, HEBREW BIBLE PSALM 45.7-9, PROVERBS 7.17, SONG OF SOLOMON 4.13-14

So, yes, Israel is a sweet aroma to The LORD, and beautiful in His Sight.

NUMBERS 24.7  And The LORD continued His Vision and Prophesy to Balaam speaking more poetry, saying, “Israel shall pour the water out of his bucket, and his seed shall be in many waters.  And his King shall be higher than Agag, and His Kingdom shall be exalted.”

Meaning, I believe, as GOD said to Abraham, “Look toward Heaven and count the stars if you are able to number them. So shall your seed be.”  That is to say,  So shall be your Jewish Descendants and all Israel.  GENESIS 15.5

In prophesy, The LORD GOD told Balaam that the Jewish People from Abraham and throughout eternity will be without number, as the stars in Heaven.  If you can number them, GOD said.  Along with all the non-Jewish People who serve THE LORD THEIR GOD by keeping His Covenant, His Sabbath, His Word and His Law of Moses, having Atonement in the Jewish Messiah Yeshua.  ISAIAH 56.6-7

And The LORD said to Balaam, Israel’s King shall be higher than Agag, and His Kingdom shall be exalted.  Here Agag is spoken of in prophesy by The LORD.  Agag became the King of the Amelekites, Israel’s enemy. But during King Saul’s reign, Saul would not kill Agag as GOD Commanded him. So the Prophet Samuel killed Agag with the sword.  1 SAMUEL 15.7-8, 22-23, 32-33

Thus The LORD rejected Saul as King of Israel because of his disobedience to The LORD HIS GOD, and raised up David to be King over His People.

ISRAEL’S KING IS HIGHER THAN AGAG.  HE IS GOD ALMIGHTY, YESHUA THE MESSIAH.  HIGHER THAN ALL KINGS.  HE IS HIGHER THAN THE HEAVENS.  HE IS GOD ALMIGHTY.

AND GOD SAID, ISRAEL’S KINGDOM SHALL BE EXALTED.

I believe that today Israel is exalted in the eyes of GOD.  And at The LORD’S return to establish The Kingdom Age, the 1,000 year millennium in Israel from the River of Egypt to the Euphrates River, Israel will continue to be exalted by the LORD.  And in Heaven throughout eternity, Israel will be exalted by THE LORD THEIR GOD in the New Jerusalem, the new earth which is Heaven.

NUMBERS 24.8  Balaam continued speaking The Word he received from The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY in his vision of The LORD GOD.

AND THESE ARE THE WORDS OF GOD THAT BALAAM SPOKE TO KING BALAK.

GOD brought Israel out of Egypt.  He has the strength of a wild ox.  He will eat up the nations his enemies.  And Israel will break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

I think of GOD’S Words in ISAIAH 46.9-11.

GOD declares the outcome that has not yet been.

GOD told Abraham some 800 years before Israel conquered Canaan that He would make of Abraham a Great Nation. And GOD has made Israel a great Nation.

GOD made Israel and the Jewish People a great Nation during their 400 years in Egyptian slavery.  GOD also prophesied that.

And GOD told Abraham that He would give the land of Canaan to the Jewish People for an everlasting possession.

AT GOD’S COMMAND, ISRAEL SEIZED AND POSSESSED THE LAND OF CANAAN TO BECOME THE LAND OF ISRAEL, THE JEWISH HOMELAND.  THAT WAS 3,400 YEARS AGO.  GENESIS 12.2,7, GENESIS 15.13, GENESIS 17.8

GOD speaks it.  He will bring it to pass. He has purposed it. And He will do it.  As He did prophesying the first Coming of Messiah Yeshua.

In hundreds of Prophesies in TNAKH, The Old Testament Scriptures, GOD Predicted the coming of The Jewish Messiah Yeshua.

And among the many Prophesies, The Prophet Daniel prophesied the exact time of Messiah’s First Coming.

483 years from the time Nehemiah and the Jewish People were given permission to return to Jerusalem from Babylonian captivity to build the City of Jerusalem, The Temple, and the wall of the City.  NEHEMIAH 2.8, DANIEL 9.20-27

DANIEL 9.24  Seventy weeks of years or a period of 490 years are determined by THE LORD GOD upon the Jewish People, and upon the Jewish Holy City Jerusalem when Messiah will RETURN to finish transgression, end sin, make reconciliation for sin, bring in everlasting righteousness, and anoint the Most Holy, the Temple.

However before Messiah’s Return, the Prophesy predicts the exact time of Messiah’s First Coming.

DANIEL 9.25  Exactly 483 years, or 69 weeks of years after that permission in Nehemiah 2.8 allowing the Jewish People to return to Israel and build Jerusalem, the wall, and the Temple, The Jewish Messiah Yeshua was born to the Jewish virgin Miriam.  ISAIAH 7.14

DANIEL 9.26  And the Prophesy predicted that Messiah would be killed after the 483 years, but before Jerusalem and the Second Temple were destroyed.  (By the Romans in 70 C.E.)  Messiah Yeshua was killed in 33.C.E., not for Himself but for our atonement.  ISAIAH 53.10

(After 49 years to build Jerusalem, plus 434 years, or 483 years, Messiah was killed.  But before the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple).

DANIEL 9.27  The final seven year period, or one week is in the future.

The man of abomination, also called the anti-Christ will enter the future Temple, stop the sacrifice, and desecrate it with idols in the midst of that week, or at the three and a half year period.  Thus ending three and a half years of peace.  Causing GOD to send great tribulation upon the world for three and a half years.

AND AT THE END OF THAT SEVEN YEAR PERIOD, OR THE 490TH YEAR, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, YESHUA THE MESSIAH WILL RETURN AND ESTABLISH HIS 1,000 MESSIANIC KINGDOM ON EARTH IN ISRAEL FROM THE RIVER OF EGYPT TO THE EUPHRATES RIVER, TO FINISH TRANSGRESSION, MAKE AN END OF SINS, AND MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR INIQUITY, AND BRING IN EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ANOINT THE MOST HOLY, THE TEMPLE. ISAIAH 9.6-7, HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5-6

Continuing with NUMBERS 24.8.  GOD has given Israel the strength of a wild ox.  GOD said, Israel will eat up the Nations, his enemies.

Israel destroyed all those Nations, Israel’s enemies, who occupied Canaan to the Euphrates River.  The Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.  GENESIS 15.18-21

Just as GOD predicted, Israel broke their bones, and pierced them through with their arrows.

Israel couched, and lay down as a lion, and as a great lion. Who shall stir him up, The LORD said?  No one, no people or Nation can destroy Israel or the Jewish People because THE LORD THEIR GOD IS WITH THEM ALWAYS.  ISAIAH 66.22, ISAIAH 43.1-7

AND GOD WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE.  AND HE WILL CURSE THOSE WHO CURSE ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE.  NUMBERS 24.9

THAT IS GOD’S PROMISE.  GENESIS 12.3, MATTHEW 25.31-46

(MATTHEW 25.31-46)  When Messiah Yeshua returns and sets up His Messianic Kingdom in Israel for 1,000 years from a River in Egypt to the Euphrates River, and sits on His Throne in Jerusalem, He will separate the nations, that is the Gentiles and the nations one from another as a shepherd divides his Sheep from the goats.

And He will set His Sheep on His Right Hand, and the goats on His Left.

Then The King Messiah Yeshua will say to them on His right Hand, Come you Blessed of My Father.  Inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

For I was hungry and you gave Me food to eat.  And I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink.  I was a stranger and you took Me in.  I was naked and you clothed Me.  I was sick and you visited Me.  I was in prison and you came to Me.

Then shall the “RIGHTEOUS” answer Him, saying Lord, When did we see You hungry, and fed You?  Or thirsty, and gave You something to drink?  When did we see You a stranger and took You in?  Or naked and clothed You?

And King Messiah Yeshua will answer and say to them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these My Brethren, you have done it unto Me.

MESSIAH’S BRETHREN, HIS FAMILY ARE THE JEWISH PEOPLE.  MATTHEW 1.1

Then Messiah will say to them on His Left Hand, Depart from Me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

For I was hungry and you gave Me no food.  I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink.  I was a stranger and you did not take Me in.  I was naked and you did not clothe Me.  I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.

Then they also answered Him, saying, LORD When did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to You?

Then shall Messiah answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as you did not do it to the least of these My Brethren, (My Jewish People) you did not do it to Me.

And they shall go away into everlasting punishment.

BUT THE RIGHTEOUS INTO ETERNAL LIFE.

BLESSED IS HE THAT BLESSES ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE, AND CURSED IS HE WHO CURSES ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE.  NUMBERS 24.9

Our Teaching will continue from Numbers 23.19-30.  Words that are written in Torah, GOD’S Law of Moses.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, GOD GIVES ISRAEL THE STRENGTH OF A WILD OX.

And with that said, let’s read Numbers 23.19-30

Balaam was a unique guy.  He was a pagan Prophet.  But yet a genuine Prophet whom GOD spoke to Face to face.  But he was disobedient to The LORD at times.  And at times obedient.

And Balaam was a wicked man, a heathen diviner who used witchcraft and practiced magic and did all the abominations of the Canaanite people, the abominations that GOD hates. Deuteronomy 18. 9-14

And Balaam sought to curse The Children of Israel at the request of King Balek.  But instead GOD blessed His Jewish People.

And The LORD OUR GOD continues to bless His Jewish People forever.

And because GOD loves His Jewish People, The LORD turned Balaam’s curse into a blessing.  Deuteronomy 23.5, Nehemiah 13.1-2

But The LORD GOD used Balaam for his purpose.  Putting His Word in Balaam’s mouth for the Prophet to speak. Showing His Grace and Love for The Jewish People that is recorded in The Bible for all the world to see.

So Balaam returned to King Balak and told him what The LORD had said to him.

REMEMBER, LORD IN HEBREW IS YEHOVAH, OR AS CHRISITIANITY PRONOUNCES THE LORD’S NAME, JEHOVAH.

AND YESHUA, WHO IS JESUS, IS ADDRESSED AS LORD, YEHOVAH HUNDREDS OF TIMES IN THE BIBLE.  ACTS 11.17,20, ROMANS 1.3, ROMANS 5.1, ETC.

YESHUA IS LORD.  HE IS YEHOVAH.

AND THERE IS ONLY ONE LORD.

THE ONE LORD IS YESHUA THE MESSIAH.  HE IS THE ONE AND ONLY LORD GOD.

EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THE LORD, WHO IS GOD AND NOT A MAN, HOW THE LORD CAN SPEAK TO YESHUA THE MESSIAH WHO HIMSELF IS THE LORD GOD, AS MESSIAH SPOKE TO THE FATHER IN HEAVEN, BOTH ARE THE SAME LORD.  JOHN 17, GENESIS 19.24, PSALM 45.7-8, CHRISTIAN BIBLE PSALM 45.6-7, PSALM 110.1

GOD IS NOT A MAN AS YOU AND I ARE.  HE IS GOD ALMIGHTY WHO SPOKE THE CREATION INTO EXISTENCE. THINK ON THAT FOR A MOMENT.  GENESIS 1

GOD WHO IS SPIRIT FILLS HEAVEN AND EARTH.  AND WHEN GOD IS IN HUMAN FORM HE CAN BE IN DIFFERENT PLACES AT THE SAME TIME.  BECAUSE GOD IS GOD AND NOT AS YOU AND I ARE.  HE IS GOD THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH AND ALL THAT ARE IN THEM.

GOD IS WAY BEYOND OUR UNDERSTANDING.

IN GOD’S OWN WORDS, HE SAYS, “MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS, NEITHER ARE YOUR WAYS MY WAYS. FOR AS THE HEAVENS ARE HIGHER THAN THE EARTH, SO ARE MY WAYS HIGHER THAN YOUR WAYS AND MY THOUGHTS THAN YOUR THOUGHTS.”  ISAIAH 55.8-9, JEREMIAH 23.24

YESHUA THE MESSIAH IS THE LORD AND HE IS THE ONE AND ONLY LORD.

YESHUA THE MESSIAH IS THE FATHER WHO APPEARED TO AND SPOKE TO ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB, MOSES, AND THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL, AND MANY OTHERS.

YESHUA THE MESSIAH IS THE SON AND THE MESSIAH WHO HIMSELF IS THE ONE LORD GOD WHO GAVE HIS LIFE AS A HUMAN BEING FOR OUR ATONEMENT.

AND YESHUA THE MESSIAH IS THE SPIRIT WHO IS OUR LIFE.

AND YESHUA THE MESSIAH IS THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH.  AND SO MUCH MORE.

ALL ARE ONE AND THE SAME GOD WHETHER YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT OR NOT.  GOD HIMSELF SAYS THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND NO OTHERS.  AND HE IS YESHUA THE MESSIAH.

GENESIS 1.2, GENESIS 1.26, GENESIS 2.7, GENESIS 17.1, GENESIS 26.1-2, GENESIS 28.10-13, GENESIS 32.22-30, EXODUS 33.11, EXODUS 24.9-11, PSALM 110.1, MATTHEW 22.41-46, JOHN 12.45, 49, JOHN 14.8-9, 15-17, 23, 26, ISAIAH 9.6, HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5, MICAH 5.2, HEBREW BIBLE MICAH 5.1, DEUTERONOMY 6.4, MARK 12.29

(MATTHEW 22.45)  IF DAVID CALLS MESSIAH LORD, HOW IS HE DAVID’S SON?  THE ANSWER.  MESSIAH YESHUA AS A HUMAN BEING IS A DESCENDANT OF DAVID, AND ALSO LORD GOD OF DAVID.  MESSIAH YESHUA IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM.  MICAH 5.1, CHRISTIAN BIBLE MICAH 5.2

YESHUA THE MESSIAH IS THE ONE LORD AND GOD WHO IS THE ETERNALLY SELF-EXISTENT ONE, THE ABSOLUTE UNCHANGING ONE.  THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB.

MESSIAH YESHUA IS THE LORD AND THERE IS NO OTHER GOD BESIDE HIM.  EXODUS 3.15, ISAIAH 45.5, ISAIAH 43.10-11

THUS IT WAS THE MESSIAH YESHUA, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WHO SPOKE TO BALAAM SAYING, “YOU SHALL NOT CURSE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FOR THEY ARE BLESSED.”  NUMBERS 22.12

IT WAS ALSO THE MESSIAH YESHUA WHO SAID TO BALAAM, “THE JEWISH PEOPLE SHALL DWELL ALONE, AND SHALL NOT BE RECKONED AMONG THE NATIONS.” NUMBERS 23.9

AND IT WAS THE MESSIAH YESHUA, JESUS, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WHO SAID TO BALAAM, “GOD IS NOT A MAN THAT HE SHOULD LIE.  NEITHER IS HE A HUMAN BEING WHO CHANGES HIS MIND.  HAS HE SAID, AND SHALL HE NOT DO IT?  OR HAS HE SPOKEN, AND SHALL HE NOT MAKE IT GOOD?”  NUMBERS 23.19

NUMBERS 23.20  So Balaam said to King Balak, I have received Commandment to bless, and GOD has blessed.  And I cannot reverse it.

And Balaam continued telling Balek the King what The LORD said to him, saying,

“THE LORD GOD HAS NOT SEEN INIQUITY IN JACOB (ISRAEL).  NEITHER HAS HE SEEN PERVERSENESS IN ISRAEL.  THE LORD HIS GOD IS WITH HIM, AND THE SHOUT OF A KING IS AMONG THEM.” NUMBERS 23.21  

The LORD GOD has not seen iniquity in Jacob neither has He seen perverseness in Israel.

Yes, we Jewish People have our share of sin, breaking Torah, GOD’S Law of Moses which we do too much.  NUMBERS 5.5-6, 1 JOHN 3.4

But the difference between the Jewish People and the nations is that GOD has given us a Torah called The Law of Moses that we receive happily.  The nations don’t.

And yes, many Jewish People don’t obey Torah, GOD’S Law of Moses.  And the Rabbis through Talmud have unlawfully expanded or changed Torah which GOD Commands, “Do not add to the Word which I command you, neither shall you subtract anything from it that you keep the Commandments of The LORD YOUR GOD which I command you.” Deuteronomy 4.2

But when the Rabbis bring that Torah out of the Ark in all The Synagogues throughout the world that has The Law of Moses written in it in Hebrew, the Jewish People stand in awe and admiration because we love The Torah, and cherish it.

AND LOVING THE TORAH IS LOVING GOD BECAUSE THE TORAH IS THE WORD OF GOD.

But the nations do not cherish The Torah, GOD’S Law of Moses, nor do they love it. They reject it.  And in many places are taught to reject it.

Therefore, The LORD says in Numbers 23.21, “He does not see iniquity in Jacob, neither has He seen perverseness in Israel.” Because, I believe, the Jewish People receive GOD’S Law of Moses with joy and happiness.  While the nations utterly reject GOD’S Law of Moses.

Thus rejecting GOD.

And we know from experience that many people are taught to reject GOD’S Law of Moses. Thus teaching sin, For sin is the transgression of The Law of Moses.  1 JOHN 3.4

AND THE LORD CONTINUED SPEAKING TO BALAAM, “THE LORD HIS GOD IS WITH HIM.”  THAT IS TO SAY, YESHUA THE MESSIAH, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY IS WITH ISRAEL, THE JEWISH PEOPLE.”  DEUTERONOMY 14.2, DEUTERONOMY 26.16-19, 1 SAMUEL 12.22, PSALM 29.11, ISAIAH 56.6-7, JOHN 4.22

AND GOD CONTINUES SPEAKING TO BALAAM THE WORDS HE MUST SPEAK TO KING BALAK.  THE SAME WORDS WE READ IN THE BIBLE TODAY.

AND THE SHOUT OF A KING IS AMONG THEM. 

THAT KING IS GOD ALMIGHTY, YESHUA THE MESSIAH.

THE WORD SHOUT IN HEBREW IS TEH’ROOAH, MEANING, THE SHOUT OF A BATTLE CRY, A SHOUT OF REJOICING.

THE SHOUT OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL, THE KING OF ISRAEL IS AMONG THEM.

ROMANS 11.29.  FOR THE GIFTS AND CALLING OF GOD ARE IRREVOCABLE.

And GOD is not finished speaking to Balaam.  NUMBERS 23.22-24

GOD, WHO BROUGHT THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL OUT OF EGYPT GIVES THEM THE STRENGTH OF A WILD OX.

BECAUSE GOD ORDAINED THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL TO CONQUER, SEIZE AND POSSESS THE LAND OF CANAAN FOR AN EVERLASTING POSSESSION TO BE THE JEWISH HOMELAND, CALLED ERETZ YISRAEL, THE LAND OF ISRAEL.  AND THEY DID CONQUER, SEIZE, AND POSSESS THE LAND OF CANAAN.  THAT WAS 3,400 YEARS AGO. GENESIS 17.8

“SURELY,” THE LORD SAID THROUGH THE PROPHET BALAAM, “THERE IS NO ENCHANTMENT, OR MAGICAL INFLUENCE, OR SPELL AGAINST JACOB.  NEITHER IS THERE ANY DIVINATION OR WITCHCRAFT AGAINST ISRAEL.”  LUKE 10.17-20

AND GOD SAID, “ISRAEL SHALL DWELL ALONE AND NOT BE RECKONED WITH THE NATIONS.”  NUMBERS 23.9

But non-Jewish People can join in with GOD’S Jewish People, His Chosen and Adopted People to serve the LORD YOUR GOD.  And receive all GOD’S Promises, and all GOD’S Covenants, having Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob for your fathers by believing in THE MESSIAH YESHUA, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY for your atonement.  And living by every Word that GOD Commands in His Law of Moses that prevents you from sinning against the LORD YOUR GOD.  And that is Salvation and Eternal Life in Heaven with THE GOD OF ISRAEL, YESHUA THE MESSIAH. ISAIAH 56.6-7, ROMANS 9.3-5 

And The LORD continued speaking to Balaam, saying, “Now, It is said of Jacob and Israel, What has GOD done?” NUMBERS 23.23

And GOD answers His own question.

” The Children of Israel shall rise up as a great lion, and shall not lie down until he eats of the prey and drinks the blood of the slain.”

THE LION OF JUDAH SPEAKS.

That’s what a great lion will do to its prey.  Eat it and drink its blood.  Thus GOD gave Israel the power to Conquer and Possess the land of Canaan and destroy its people.

The land of Canaan is the Promised Land that GOD gave to the Jewish People for an everlasting possession.  Genesis 17.8

THE LION OF JUDAH IS THE MESSIAH YESHUA, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM.  REVELATION 5.1-5

Written in the Book that THE LION OF JUDAH, THE GOD OF ISRAEL opened are the seven seals of judgment that will bring about the end of this world.  Why?  Because of disobedience and rejection of GOD’S Torah, His Law of Moses.  ISAIAH 13.11, ISAIAH 24.4-6, ISAIAH 26.21, REVELATION 18.1-5

(REVELATION 18.4-5)  BABYLON THE GREAT IS THE GENTILE NATIONS OF THE WORLD.

AND SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF GOD’S LAW OF MOSES, THE SAME LAW THE NATIONS REJECT.  1 JOHN 3.4

And continuing with NUMBERS 23, King Balak will not receive The Word of GOD that Balaam tells him.  Sound familiar?  Numbers 23.25-30.

And we’ll continue next week with The Words that GOD gave Balaam for the ears of King Balak, and for the eyes of all mankind that are written in The Bible that is read throughout the world.

Shalom.

Our teaching from Torah, The Law of Moses will continue from Numbers 23.11-19.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, GOD IS NOT A MAN THAT HE SHOULD LIE, NOR IS HE A HUMAN BEING WHO CHANGES HIS MIND.

And with that said, let’s read Numbers 23.11-19.

Balaam was a pagan Prophet who came from Pethor, a City near the Euphrates River.  And Balak, the King of Moab, current day Jordan, asked Balaam to curse the Children of Israel when they approached his Country on their way to Canaan, the Promised Land.

Though Balaam was a pagan, he was a genuine Prophet of GOD.  He spoke face to Face with THE LORD GOD OF CREATION.  But he was also disobedient to The LORD, and a wicked man who performed magic and witchcraft.  And it was his counsel that caused Israel to commit idolatry and immoral behavior against The LORD THEIR GOD resulting in a plague that GOD brought upon The Congregation of The LORD.  NUMBERS 31.8, 16

GOD had earlier told Balaam not to go with King Balak’s messengers.  But Balaam went with them.

BALAAM SOUGHT TO CURSE THE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, BUT GOD TOLD HIM, “YOU SHALL NOT CURSE THE PEOPLE FOR THEY ARE BLESSED.”

For that reason, Balaam did not curse the Jewish People.

Balaam said to King Balak, How shall I curse whom GOD has not cursed?  Or how shall I call evil upon whom GOD has not called evil upon?

AND BALAAM SPOKE TO KING BALAK THE WORD THAT HE RECEIVED FROM GOD.

“THE PEOPLE (THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL) SHALL DWELL ALONE AND SHALL NOT BE RECKONED AMONG THE NATIONS.”

Nations in Hebrew is Goyim meaning Gentiles, Nations, and heathen.

GOD commands Israel to dwell alone even today, and separate from the nations.

For GOD says, The nations will turn His Jewish People away from following Him to serve other gods.  And GOD’S anger will be kindled against His People and destroy His Jewish People suddenly.  DEUTERONOMY 7.4,  2 PETER 2.1-2

Peter’s words in 2 Peter Chapter 2 are relevant today because of the many false Bible teachers who do not teach the truth of The Bible.

Large numbers of Messianic Jews who come to believe in Jesus and join the Church or certain Messianic Jewish Congregations are led away from their GOD, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL by following Church doctrine that abolished GOD’S Law of Moses.

THE LAW OF MOSES TEACHES THE WILL OF GOD.

THE WILL OF GOD FOR ALL MANKIND IS TO OBEY EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE, INCLUDING ALL GOD’S LAWS, COMMANDMENTS, TEACHINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES IN THE FIRST FIVE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE.

AND YES, IT IS A DELIGHT TO DO HIS WILL.  AND THAT IS PLEASING TO THE LORD YOUR GOD.  

THAT IS OUR PURPOSE IN LIFE, AND OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO THE LORD.  TO BE HOLY AS GOD IS HOLY.  TO BE LIKE MESSIAH YESHUA.  PSALM 40.8, MATTHEW 7.21-23, MATTHEW 4.4, 1 PETER 1.16, 1 PETER 2.21-23

THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WILL SPEND ETERNITY WITH GOD IN HEAVEN.

But the Church has eliminated all GOD’S Sabbaths, all His Festivals, all His food laws, and just about every Law of GOD written in His Law of Moses.

And because Church doctrine has crept into many Messianic Jewish Congregations, large numbers of Messianic Jews and their Leaders believe that the Law of Moses is abolished. And they also believe the false Church doctrine of the trinity or triune god of three different gods, leading them away from THE GOD OF ISRAEL to serve other gods.  Losing their Salvation.

MATTHEW 13.18-23, EXODUS 20, EXODUS 31.12-18, LEVITICUS 11, LEVITICUS 23, DEUTERONOMY 5.6-21, DEUTERONOMY 14, ISAIAH 40.8

THE JESUS CHRIST OF THE BIBLE WHO IS MESSIAH YESHUA, GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM ELOHIM, UNLIKE THE THE JESUS CHRIST OF THE TRINITY, TEACHES THE LAW OF MOSES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. 

WHEN ASKED WHAT THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMANDMENT IS, MESSIAH’S ANSWER WAS, THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMANDMENT IS, “HEAR O ISRAEL, THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE.” MARK 12.29

HEAR O ISRAEL, THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE, MEANS, HEAR WHAT GOD SAYS, ISRAEL. OBEY WHAT HE SAYS. AND DO WHAT HE SAYS. THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD.

BIBLICAL DOCTRINE STANDS FIRM AND FOREVER ON THOSE WORDS.  AND THAT IS THE WAY TO SALVATION AND ETERNAL LIFE, NOT ONLY FOR JEWISH PEOPLE BUT FOR ALL MANKIND.  OBEDIENCE TO EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE, THAT INCLUDES HIS LAW OF MOSES IN THE FIRST FIVE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE, AND BELIEF IN ONE GOD, YESHUA THE MESSIAH .  DEUTERONOMY 8.3, LUKE 4.4, ISAHAH 9.6, HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5

BUT THE PASTORS, THE PREACHERS AND MOST BIBLE TEACHERS AND MANY MESSIANIC RABBIS ARE LIKE BALAAM.  THEY HEAR WHAT GOD SAYS BY READING EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE.  BUT THEY TEACH VERY LITTLE OR INCORRECTLY WHAT GOD SAYS BY TEACHING A LIE THAT THE LAW OF MOSES IS ABOLISHED.  AND TEACHING ANOTHER LIE THAT GOD IS A TRINITY OR TRIUNE god OF THREE DIFFERENT gods.

DEUTERONOMY 6.4, ACTS 5.32, ACTS 24.14, ROMANS 2.13, ROMANS 3.31, ROMANS 6.1-6, ROMANS 8.6-7, 1 PETER 1.1-2, 15-16, 1 JOHN 3.4, ETC., ETC., ETC.

So King Balak was angry with Balaam saying, What have you done to me?  I took you to curse my enemies and you have blessed them.  And Balaam answered saying, Must I not obey the Word that The LORD has put in my mouth?

But the King did not believe GOD.  Like so many today.  So the King’s response is, Come with me Balaam to another place, please, from where you can see them.  You will see most of these People, but not all, and curse them for me from there.

So the King brought Balaam to the top of Mt. Pisgah, the same mountain top that the LORD GOD brought Moses to see all the land of Canaan that GOD gave to Israel for an everlasting possession.  DEUTERONOMY 3.27-28, GENESIS 17.8, NUMBERS 23.14

And the King had seven altars built and he offered a bull and a ram on every altar.  And Balaam said to the King, Stand here by the burnt offering while I meet the LORD over there.

AND AGAIN THE LORD MET WITH BALAAM.

AND AGAIN THE LORD PUT HIS WORD IN BALAAM’S MOUTH, AND SAID, “GO AGAIN TO BALEK AND SAY, THUS.”

So Balaam returned to the King standing by his burnt offering, and the Princes of Moab with him.  And the King said to Balaam, What has the LORD spoken?

And Balaam took up his parable.  And again, a parable is a short story that tells the truth.  And Balaam said, Rise up Balak and hear, and listen to me.

NOW THE PARABLE THAT GOD SPOKE THROUGH THE PAGAN PROPHET BALAAM WAS TRUE 3,400 YEARS AGO. AND IT’S TRUE TODAY, AND IT’S TRUE FOREVER.

BIBLE TEACHERS, PASTORS, PREACHERS, MESSIANIC RABBIS AND LEADERS SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO GOD’S WORD, FOR THE WORD OF GOD NEVER CHANGES.  NOR DOES IT END.  AND IT IS CRITICAL TO UNDERSTAND AND BELIEVE THAT.  HEBREWS 13.8, ISAIAH 40.8, 1 PETER 1.23-25

HERE’S THE PARABLE THAT GOD GAVE TO BALAAM. 

“GOD IS NOT A MAN THAT HE SHOULD LIE.  NEITHER THE SON OF MAN THAT HE SHOULD CHANGE HIS MIND. HAS HE SAID AND SHALL HE NOT DO IT?  OR HAS HE SPOKEN AND SHALL HE NOT MAKE IT GOOD?” NUMBERS 23.19

Every Church and every Messianic Congregation in the world preaches and teaches from The Bible.  And many of The Bibles have the Words of Jesus written in red.

HOW CAN THE CHURCH AND SO MANY MESSIANIC JEWISH CONGREGATIONS GET IT SO WRONG?

GOD DOES NOT LIE, NOR DOES GOD CHANGE HIS MIND! 

GOD’S LAW OF MOSES IS LIKE GOD.  IT IS ETERNAL AND FOREVER.  IT IS FOR ALL MANKIND.  IT NEVER CHANGES NOR ENDS NO MATTER WHAT MEN SAY OR WRITE OR TEACH.  AND WHEN OBEYED, ALONG WITH HAVING ATONEMENT IN MESSIAH YESHUA, THE ETERNAL RESULT IS LIFE AND SALVATION IN HEAVEN.  ISAIAH 53.10, ISAIAH 43.10-13

THE NEW COVENANT IS EXPLAINED BY GOD THAT HE GAVE TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE FOR ALL MANKIND FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS AND ETERNAL LIFE.  ON GOD’S TERMS.  NOT ON CHURCH TERMS.  JEREMIAH 31.31-34

THE NEW COVENANT IS THE JEWISH MESSIAH YESHUA TAUGHT IN THE JEWISH NEW TESTAMENT.  MATTHEW 26.26-28 

AND THE NEW COVENANT THAT GOD MADE WITH HIS JEWISH PEOPLE AND ALL MANKIND FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS AND ETERNAL LIFE IS THIS;

WHEN YOU RECEIVED MESSIAH YESHUA WHO IS THE NEW COVENANT, GOD PUT HIS LAW OF MOSES IN YOUR INWARD PARTS AND WROTE IT IN YOUR HEART TO OBEY THEM.

AND GOD BECAME YOUR GOD, AND YOU BECAME HIS PEOPLE. AND GOD FORGAVE YOUR INIQUITY AND REMEMBERS YOUR SIN NO MORE.

THAT LAW AND COVENANT NEVER CHANGE BECAUSE IT IS THE WORD OF GOD.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE CHURCH AND MANY MESSIANIC JEWISH CONGREGATIONS CHANGE GOD’S WORD.  AND THEY CHANGE HIS NEW COVENANT BY TEACHING YOU THAT THE LAW OF MOSES IS ABOLISHED. OR YOU DON’T HAVE TO OBEY IT BECAUSE JESUS FULFILLED THE LAW.

THOSE LIES ROB YOU OF YOUR SALVATION, IF YOU BUY INTO IT.  BECAUSE GOD IS NOT A MAN WHO LIES. NOR IS HE A HUMAN BEING WHO CHANGES HIS MIND.

GOD PUT HIS LAW IN YOUR INWARD PARTS AND WROTE IT IN YOUR HEART FOR YOU TO OBEY THEM.  PSALM 40.8, HEBREWS 8.8-13, HEBREWS 10.16-17

(HEBREWS 8.13) THE NEW COVENANT IS FOR ATONEMENT AND ETERNAL LIFE WHEN THE LAW OF MOSES IS OBEYED, AND HAVING FAITH IN MESSIAH YESHUA FOR ATONEMENT.  THE FIRST COVENANT IS THE ANIMAL SACRIFICE THAT IS OLD AND VANISHED AWAY UNTIL THE TEMPLE IS REBUILT IN JERUSALEM DURING THE MESSIANIC AGE IN ISRAEL WITH MESSIAH YESHUA. EZEKIEL 45.15-17

JESUS NEVER ABOLISHED THE LAW OF MOSES.

But all the nations other than Judaism have abolished GOD’S Law.  Therefore GOD Commands His Jewish People, and all people who desire Eternal Life to separate yourselves from the nations because they will turn you away from following The LORD YOUR GOD to serve other gods. EPHESIANS 5.11

AND JESUS, YESHUA THE MESSIAH IS GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM.  ISAIAH 9.6, HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5, JOHN 12.45, 49, JOHN 14.9

GOD is not a man that He lies.  But men lie all the time.  And man’s biggest lies are that GOD’S Law of Moses is abolished, and the false doctrine of the trinity of three different gods. That is satan’s teaching.  MATTHEW 7.13-14, MATTHEW 22.14, ROMANS 3.31, DEUTERONOMY 6.4, MARK 12,29

DOESN’T THE CHURCH REALIZE THAT MESSIAH YESHUA SAYS, “FOR SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS?”  JOHN 4.22  

Salvation is not of the Church, but of the Jews.  Salvation, Repentance, Atonement, Eternal Life, and Truth are accomplished by living according to every Word GOD commands His Jewish People in The Bible.  And that includes living your life by GOD’S Law of Moses, and having Atonement through the Jewish Messiah Yeshua Who is GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM ELOHIM, THE ONE GOD.

Think on this for a moment.  Jesus, Yeshua The Messiah is Jewish.  HE IS GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM. MATTHEW 1.1, JOHN 12.45,49, JOHN 14.9, ISAIAH 9.6, HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5, MICAH 5.1, CHRISTIAN BIBLE MICAH 5.2

THUS GOD IS JEWISH.

So to be part of GOD’S FAMILY, and to receive Salvation and Eternal Life, non-Jewish People are not required to convert to Judaism, but they must obey every Word GOD Commands His Jewish People that is written in The Bible.  And that includes obedience to His Law of Moses.  And rejecting the trinity of three different gods.  And knowing and believing there is ONLY ONE GOD WHO IS YESHUA THE MESSIAH. LUKE 8.21, ISAIAH 43.10-11

Peter, whose given Hebrew name is Shimon, wrote these words that apply today about false prophets and false teachers.  And I paraphrase.

These false prophets and false teachers bring damnable heresies, Peter writes. Teaching lies that bring on swift destruction to those who speak evil of the truth of GOD. They cannot cease from sin.

Sin is the transgression of The Law of Moses.  1 JOHN 3.4

They follow the way of Balaam who loved the wages of unrighteousness.  Living an ungodly life disobeying GOD.

And these false teachers promise liberty.  Yes, they promise liberty and freedom by not obeying GOD.  By not obeying GOD’S Laws that are written in the Law of Moses.

They are servants of corruption brought into bondage, Peter writes.

And Peter continues, For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of The LORD and Savior Yeshua The Messiah, they are again entangled in the sins of the world, and overcome,

Their latter end is worse than their beginning.

For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than after they have known it to turn away from the Holy Commandment that was delivered to them.

And Peter continues, But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog has turned to his own vomit again, and the hog that was washed, to her rolling in the mud.

They have returned to sin, breaking The Law of Moses.  2 PETER 2.1-22, 1 JOHN 3.4, GALATIANS 3.10

(GALATIANS 3.10) THE FALSE BIBLE TEACHERS AND THOSE WHO RECEIVE AND BELIEVE THEIR FALSE TEACHINGS HAVE RETURNED TO SIN BY BREAKING THE LAW OF MOSES. 1 JOHN 3.4

AND THEN THE LAW OF MOSES BECOMES A CURSE WHEN IT IS NOT OBEYED.  THAT IS THE FORMULA FOR SALVATION LOST.

Shalom.
