ROSH HASHANAH IS NOT THE NEW YEAR

Shalom.

Since this is the time of Rosh HaShanah, our Study from Torah, The Law of Moses will come from the Verses of Leviticus 23.23-25.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, ROSH HASHANAH IS NOT THE NEW YEAR.

And with that said, let’s read Leviticus 23.23-25.

I have been teaching The Bible for some 32 years, and I have always known that Rosh HaShanah, meaning, Head Of The Year, also known in Judaism as The New Year, Is Not The New Year.

Why?  Because The Bible corrects that old Jewish mistake that Rosh Hashanah is The New Year when GOD says in The Bible, The Passover Month is the first month of the year to you.

The Passover Month is the first month of The Year to The Jewish People.  EXODUS 12.1-2,

And the Passover Month will continue to be the first month of the year in The Messianic Kingdom on earth in Israel and forever.   EZEKIEL 45.21

Rosh HaShanah, the new year, falls on the first day of the seventh month of the year.  The seventh month is not the beginning of the year.

Add to that, this Festival of GOD is not called Rosh HaShanah in The Bible.

This Festival of GOD is called in Hebrew, ZEEKH’RONE TERUAH, meaning a Memorial of Shouting and Blasting The Shofar.  Also called Yom Teruah, the Day of Teruah. LEVITICUS 23.24

Jewish Bibles call Zeekhrone Teruah, Remembering A Holy Convocation Announced With Blasts on The Shofar, or A Memorial Proclaimed With The Blast of Horns, or A Remembrance of Shofar Blasts, or A Sacred Occasion Commemorated with Loud Blasts, or A Memorial of Blowing of Horns.

But never the new year because it is not the new year.

In Hebrew, A Memorial of Blowing of Trumpets is ZEEKH’RONE TERUAH.

A Memorial is, as you know, a Remembrance.  On this Day, A Remembrance of Teruah.

So what does The Hebrew Word TERUAH mean in The Bible?

The following Translations of TERUAH come from various Jewish Bibles.  The Jerusalem Bible, The Complete Jewish Bible, The Holy Scriptures, Published by The Jewish Publication Society in 1917, The Jewish Publication Society Bible, Published in 1999, and The Stone Edition Tanach.

LEVITICUS 25.9  Teruah in this verse from the five Jewish Bibles means, SOUND The Horn Loud, BLAST of the Horn.  In two Bibles, SOUND The Shofar.  And SOUND a Blast on The Shofar.

So it’s safe to say that Teruah in this verse means SOUND and BLAST the Shofar.

NUMBERS 23.21  The Hebrew Word Teruah in this verse means, ACCLAIM (Shouting approval or praise), BLAST of a Shofar, FRIENDSHIP, ACCLAIMED, and SHOUTING.

So Teruah is also translated as SHOUT, and The BLAST of a Shofar.

JOSHUA 6.5, 10 Teruah is translated in both Scriptures SHOUTED.  Great CRY, and Great SHOUT.  Both Scriptures SHOUT.  Again both Scriptures SHOUT.  And in both Scriptures, Mighty SHOUT.

So Teruah also means SHOUT, and Mighty SHOUT.

Thus, we can safely say that TERUAH has two meanings. A GREAT AND MIGHTY SHOUT, and THE GREAT BLAST OF A SHOFAR.

Next question.  And this is very important.  What does The LORD GOD Command His People to do on Zikhrone Teruah, The Memorial of Shouting and Blasting The Shaofar?

Certainly GOD is not calling His People to celebrate the new year.

To find out what The LORD Commands us to do on this Day, Let’s review LEVITICUS 23.23-25.

In The Seventh Month.  Today is The Seventh Month that Judaism calls the month of Tishrei.

And we will talk about the Hebrew Months in a moment.

In the Seventh Month, in the first day of the month, you shall have a Sabbath.  A Sabbath, of course, is A Day of Rest. No work of any kind is to be done on this Holy Day of Zeekhrone Teruah.

Next.  Memorial in Hebrew is ZEEKH’RONE meaning something to REMEMBER and CELEBRATE.

And The One we are to Remember and Celebrate is The LORD Our GOD.

Remembering and Celebrating The LORD YOUR GOD with SHOUTINGS OF PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING, AND SHOFAR BLASTS.

THAT IS ZEEKRONE TERUAH.  REMEMBERING THE LORD OUR GOD ON THIS HOLY DAY WITH SHOUTS OF PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING TO THE LORD, AND SHOFAR BLASTS.  

1 SAMUEL 4.5-6, EZRA 3.11-13, HEBREW BIBLE PSALM 5.12, CHRISTIAN BIBLE PSALM 5.11

AND WE WILL GET TO A GREAT SHOFAR BLAST IN A MOMENT.

SO, WE OBSERVE THIS DAY AS A HOLY DAY, A SABBATH OF REST IN WHICH NO WORK IS TO BE DONE OF ANY KIND.

AND A  HOLY CONVOCATION IS HELD ON ZEEKHRONE TERUAH.  A TIME SET APART FOR THE LORD TO GATHER HIS PEOPLE TOGETHER IN A SERVICE TO OBSERVE HIS HOLY DAY.  BECAUSE ZEEKHRONE TERUAH IS A SACRED OCCASION FOR THE LORD OUR GOD..  

AND BEING ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU HAVE ATONEMENT FOR YOUR SINS.

IN THE DAYS OF MOSES AND THE TEMPLE, THE PEOPLE OFFERED AN ANIMAL SACRIFICE, AN OFFERING MADE BY FIRE FOR THEIR ATONEMENT.

AND THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.  GOD ALWAYS COMMANDED HIS PEOPLE, EVEN WARNED THEM TO CONTINUE TO OBEY HIS TORAH, HIS LAW OF MOSES EVERY DAY, ALL THE TIME ALONG WITH THEIR SACRIFICES FOR ATONEMENT.

TODAY, THERE IS NO TEMPLE FOR A SACRIFICE.  BUT GOD TOOK CARE OF THAT BY OFFERING HIMSELF AS A HUMAN BEING BY GIVING HIS LIFE, THE PERFECT ATONEMENT, THE PERFECT SACRIFICE FOR OUR ATONEMENT.  

LEVITICUS 17.8, 9, 11, ISAIAH 53.10, HEBREW BIBLE PSALM 22.2, CHRISTIAN BIBLE PSALM 22.1,

SO, ON ZEEKRONE TERUAH, WE ARE TO DO EXACTLY AS THE LORD COMMANDS.

THE DAY IS A SABBATH OF REST.  REMEMBERING THE LORD WITH SHOUTS OF PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING, AND BLASTING SHOFARS.

IT IS A HOLY CONVOCATION.  A GATHERING OF GOD’S PEOPLE FOR A SERVICE DEDICATED TO THE LORD.

AND BE SURE YOU HAVE ATONEMENT FOR YOUR SINS.  

AND THERE IS ONLY ONE ATONEMENT TODAY WITHOUT THE TEMPLE.  THE MESSIAH YESHUA, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.  HE IS THE ONLY ATONEMENT FOR OUR SINS.

MESSIAH YESHUA, THE GOD OF CREATION, THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB GAVE HIS LIFE 2,000 YEARS AGO AS A HUMAN BEING AS IT IS WRITTEN AND PROPHESIED TO BE OUR ATONEMENT WHEN HE SUBMITTED HIMSELF TO THE ROMANS TO BE BOUND TO AN EXECUTION STAKE AND KILLED AS A SACRIFICIAL LAMB.  

BECAUSE HE SO LOVES HIS JEWISH PEOPLE AND ALL THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR OUR ATONEMENT, TO FORGIVE ALL OUR SINS.  

IT IS WRITTEN, AND IT WAS PROPHESIED IN ISAIAH 52.13-15, ISAIAH 53.1-12, HEBREW BIBLE PSALM 22.2, CHRISTIAN BIBLE PSALM 22.1

Another question.  Why did the Rabbis change this day Zeekhrone Teruah, A Remembrance of Shouting and Blasting Shofars to Rosh Hashanah, The Jewish New Year?

In my research, and this is the first time I researched Zeekhrone Teruah, the change took place in Babylon during the seventy year Jewish exile to Babylon some 2,600 years ago.

Many of The Jewish People in Babylon took on the customs of The Babylonians as many of The Jewish People in the United States take on the customs of the people around them.

The Babylonians had two New Years.  And one of those new years days fell around the time of Zeekhrone Teruah on the first day of the seventh Hebrew month.  So for some unknown reason, the Rabbis decided to change GOD’S Holy Day, Zeekhrone Teruah to Rosh HaShanah, the new year, like the Babylonians they were living among.

Rabbinic Judaism was beginning to take place in Babylon during the days of the Exile.  And now for many years, Rabbinic Judaism has become the mainstream form of Judaism.

Rabbinic Judaism is Jewish Law.

Rabbinic Judaism adheres to the traditions of the Rabbis written in the Talmud rather than following The Writings of The Holy Scriptures.

So the Rabbis changed GOD’S Festival Zeekhrone Teruah to Rosh Hashanah.  DEUTERONOMY 4.2

And the Rabbis also took the names of the Babylonian months for The Jewish Months, replacing the names that GOD named His months.

GOD called His months, The first month, The second month, The third Month, and so on.  But the Rabbis changed those names to the names of the Babylonian months.  Such as The first month became Nisan from the Babylonian Month Nissan. The fourth month became Tammuz from the Babylonian month Tammuz.

The Rabbis changed the seventh month to Tisheri that derives from the Babylonian month Tashrito.  And so on.  All the Hebrew months are named after Babylonian months.

And the Talmud confirms those changes.  It is written in the Jerusalem Talmud, The Babylonian months came up from Babylonian influence to Israel with The Jewish People.

Written are the names that GOD gave The Jewish months. GENESIS 7.11, GENESIS 8.4, 5, 13, 14, EXODUS 12.2, 18, LEVITICUS 23.5, 24, 27, 34, 39, 41, ETC.

But more important is this, The LORD’S Return with The Great Sound of A Shofar.  And there will be a whole lot of Shouting, Praising The LORD.  And a whole lot of Shofars Blasting their unique and beautiful sound throughout The Jewish World.

Yes, we wait for The Greatest Zeekhrone Teruah of all.  The Return of The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, The MESSIAH YESHUA Who will return from Heaven to establish His Messianic Kingdom on earth in Israel immediately after The great and final tribulation.

The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light. And the stars will fall from heaven. And the powers of the Heaven will shake.

And then shall appear The Miracle, The Son of Man, The Messiah Yeshua, HaShem Elohim coming in the clouds of Heaven with great Glory and Power.

AND HE WILL SEND HIS ANGELS WITH A GREAT SOUND OF A SHOFAR.  And will gather His Elect from the four winds, from one end of Heaven to the other.

For The LORD Himself will descend from Heaven, with a Shout (Teruah), with the voice of the archangel.  And with The Shofar of GOD (Shofar Elohim).  

And the dead in Messiah will rise first.  Then we which are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet The LORD in the air.

And we will descend together with THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, THE MESSIAH YESHUA to The Messianic Kingdom in Israel, whose GOD Given boundaries will return from a River in Egypt, to the Euphrates River that flows through Syria and Iraq.  And The Kingdom will be like The Garden of Eden.  And so shall we ever be with The LORD.

Therefore, The Bible says, comfort one another with these words.  MATTHEW 24.29-31, 1 THESSALONIANS 4.16-18, GENESIS 5.22-24, 2 KINGS 2.11

So, Happy Zeekhrone Teruah.

And Zeekhrone Teruah is a happy Festival of The LORD.  So let’s Blow The Shofar and Praise The LORD with a Mighty Shout.  

Shalom

WHAT NATION IS THERE SO GREAT WHO HAS GOD SO NEAR TO THEM AS THE LORD OUR GOD IS IN ALL THINGS THAT WE CALL UPON HIM FOR? AND WHAT NATION IS THERE SO GREAT THAT HAS STATUTES AND JUDGMENTS SO RIGHTEOUS AS ALL THIS LAW WHICH I SET BEFORE YOU THIS DAY?

Shalom

Our Teaching in Torah, The Law of Moses will continue from Deuteronomy 4.1-8.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, WHAT NATION IS THERE SO GREAT WHO HAS GOD SO NEAR TO THEM AS THE LORD OUR GOD IS IN ALL THINGS THAT WE CALL UPON HIM FOR?  AND WHAT NATION IS THERE SO GREAT THAT HAS STATUTES AND JUDGMENTS SO RIGHTEOUS AS ALL THIS LAW WHICH I SET BEFORE YOU THIS DAY?

So with that said, let’s read Deuteronomy 4.1-8.

DEUTERONOMY 4.1  In reviewing GOD’S Law, The Law of Moses to The Children of Israel, Moses said to The People, Now therefore Hearken O Israel to The Statutes and The Judgments which I teach you, to do them, that you will live. And go in and possess the land which The LORD GOD of your fathers gives you.

Hearken O Israel in Hebrew, is Yisrael Shema, meaning, Israel, Hear Intelligently what GOD Says, Be Obedient to what GOD Says, Pay Attention to what GOD Says, Understand what GOD Says, and Do what GOD says, that you will live.

But GOD, speaking through Moses, is not only addressing Israel, GOD is speaking to all the earth to obey GOD’S Statutes and Judgments, to do them that they will live.

GOD’S Statutes and His Judgments are His Laws that are Written in The Law of Moses.

So how can I say that GOD is speaking to the world since all the nations except Israel reject GOD’S Laws?  And much of the world is taught by Bible teachers to reject GOD’S Laws.

Turn to GENESIS 1.1  GOD is The Creator of The Heavens and the earth.  He Alone Created them, and all that is in them.

Therefore GOD’S Word, His Statutes, His Judgments, His Laws, His Teachings and His Instructions that are written in The Bible are for Israel, and The Heavens and The earth that GOD Created.

Paul writes, Is GOD The GOD of The Jews only?  Is He not also The GOD of The Gentiles?  Yes, He is The GOD of The Gentiles also.

So, all the people living on earth, and GOD Himself and The Angels in Heaven are required by GOD to obey the Statutes and Judgments of GOD.

GOD Himself, Who gave us His Statutes and Judgments is required to obey every Law that is Written in The Law of Moses.  ROMANS 3.29, 1 PETER 2.21-22

The fact that Messiah Yeshua, Who is GOD ALMIGHTY, THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH did not sin means He obeyed Torah.  He obeyed His Law of Moses.  1 JOHN 3.4

GOD gave His Laws, Teachings and Instructions, His Statutes and Judgments to Moses Face to face.  And then Moses taught The Children of Israel what GOD taught him.  And The Bible teaches the World to do exactly what GOD taught The Jewish People to do.  To live by every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of GOD.  MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4.

GOD Chose The Jewish People to be His Witnesses.  Jewish People wrote the entire Bible from Genesis through Revelation that is read throughout the world.  So all mankind would have the opportunity to Know The GOD of Creation, to Read His every Word Written in The Bible.  And to Obey The Word of GOD for their good.  Understanding how to lead their lives pleasing to GOD.  To Know and Believe that there is only ONE GOD and no others.  And to Know their Messiah Yeshua, The Anointed One Who is The GOD of Creation so that they will live.

Did you know that the Hebrew Word for Word as in The Word of GOD is DAHVAHR meaning Decree and Commandment.  Every Word GOD Speaks in The Bible is His Law and His Commandment.   

GOD’S witnesses in The Bible for the most part were Jewish People who followed The Truth of GOD.  Such as Moses, who received The Law from GOD Face to face.  And The Prophets, who are Jewish, received The Word of GOD directly from GOD.  And The Writers of The Psalms, Proverbs, Nehemiah, Ezra, and the other Writings are all Jewish.  And Messiah’s Disciples and Apostles in The New Testament, and Messiah Yeshua Himself are all Jewish.

Non-Jewish People can be excellent Witnesses for The LORD as long as they follow The Written Word of GOD, The Law of Moses, The Prophets and Writings, and have a correct understanding of The New Testament that follows in the same footsteps as The Old Testament.  That is to say, The Word of GOD and The Law of Moses remain forever, and never change.  And there is Only One GOD, and Messiah Yeshua is that One GOD.

EXODUS 25.21-22, EXODUS 33.11, ISAIAH 43.10-11, LUKE 2.10-11, JOHN 4.42, MATTHEW 28.16-20, ACTS 1.6-8, ACTS 2.32, ACTS 5.32

MATTHEW 28.19  The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit are ONE AND THE SAME GOD.  MARK 12.29, DEUTERONOMY 6.4

However, it is man, not GOD, who teaches the false doctrine that the nations are not required to obey GOD’S Bible Laws that GOD gave to The Jewish People.  We’ll eliminate all those Laws GOD made for the Jews and make our own laws, men say.

And man has done just that.  They have done a good job of disobeying GOD and teaching their membership to disobey GOD.

The nations , by abolishing GOD’S Laws that are written in the Law of Moses have made Sunday their sabbath, or some other day other than GOD’S Sabbath that is from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday.  The nations do none of GOD’S food laws found in Leviticus 11, and Deuteronomy 14.  The nations have eliminated all GOD’S Festivals that are written in Leviticus 23.

But the nations have created christmas, easter, good friday, halloween, and others that have nothing to do with The Festivals of GOD.

The nations have completely wiped out GOD’S Bible Laws and Teachings.  LUKE 16.17

Thus the nations, by rejecting The Word of GOD, and abolishing His Law of Moses, have made their people lawless in the sight of GOD.  Because GOD says through His Prophet Moses, Do these Statutes and Judgments, that you will live. MATTHEW 7.21-23

This is a very narrow walk.

GOD’S Statutes are His Laws.  And His Judgments are the decisions you make in life that must be made according to GOD’S Laws that are written in The Law of Moses.

GOD makes it very clear that His Doctrine is for all the earth and the Heavens that include GOD Himself and The Angels. DEUTERONOMY 32.1-2

Here are some wonderful promises and blessings from GOD for obeying His Laws.  PSALM 119.1, 9, 21, 24, 44, 45 (liberty from sin and death by obeying your Law), 49, 50, 65, 71, 72, 77, 81, 89, 92, 97, 99, 100, 103, 104, 105, 112, 113, 114, 118, 123, 126, 127, 130, 136, 137, 138, 142, 144, 151, 152, 155, 163, 165, 172, 174

Add to that, Yeshua The Messiah says, To be part of The Family of GOD, you must hear The Word of GOD, and do it. LUKE 8.21, ACTS 8.4, 25, ACTS 10.44-45, ACTS 11.1

How can anyone claim to be a witness of The Messiah Yeshua and reject The Word of GOD Written in the first five Books of The Bible called Torah, The Law of Moses?

But GOD says to everyone, Jewish People and non-Jewish People, and Christians, Obey My Statutes and Judgments, and you will live.

The only way to be a true Witness for YESHUA THE MESSIAH WHO IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH is to live by every Word that proceeds out of The Mouth of GOD Written in The Bible.  And Believe that there is Only One GOD and no others.  And that Yeshua The Messiah is that One GOD, YEH’HO’VAH ELOHIM Who gives you Atonement and Salvation.  Then you are the perfect Witness for The LORD YOUR GOD, MESSIAH YESHUA. MATTHEW 4.4, JOHN 14.9

DEUTERONOMY 4.2  Another Commandment of GOD is this. Do not add to His Word, or take anything away from His Word.  That we are to Keep The Commandments of The LORD OUR GOD.

So many people, so many religious people add to GOD’S Word, and take away from GOD’S Word.  That is a formula for trouble.

Remember, GOD’S Commandments are His Laws, Teachings and Instructions that are written in The Law of Moses.  We are to Keep them, and Obey Them, GOD says.

John writes that GOD’S Commandments are not difficult.  In fact, John writes that Loving GOD is Keeping His Commandments.  And that is New Testament Teaching.  1 JOHN 5.3

DEUTERONOMY 4.3  The LORD destroyed all those who followed baal-peor.  Baal-peor was a false god, and GOD destroyed those who worshiped it.  NUMBERS 25.1-5

False gods are thought to be supernatural beings who are immortal.  Meaning, they never die.  They were, or still are objects or worship.

Believing that The LORD GOD has an equal is belief in more than One GOD.  And GOD condemns that worship which is idolatry.

Being equal with GOD is being similar to GOD.  BUT NOT BEING ONE AND THE SAME GOD.  BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND NO OTHERS.

Therefore, Jesus, His given Hebrew Name and Title are Yeshua The Messiah is not equal with GOD.  Yeshua The Messiah IS GOD.  The Creator of Heaven and earth.

DEUTERONOMY 6.14-15, DEUTERONOMY 6.4, MARK 12.29, HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5, CHRISTIAN BIBLE ISAIAH 9.6, JOHN 12.45, 49, JOHN 14.9

DEUTERONOMY 4.4  To cleave to The LORD is Joining The LORD.  Sticking close to Him.  Living by every Word He Speaks.  Having Messiah Yeshua as your Atonement for all your sins.  Those are the people who will live forever in Heaven.

DEUTERONOMY 4.5-6  HOW DOES ONE GAIN WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING?

BY KEEPING THE STATUTES AND JUDGMENTS OF THE LORD YOUR GOD.

KEEPING GOD’S STATUTES IS OBEYING ALL HIS LAWS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES.

KEEPING GOD’S JUDGMENTS IS BEING RIGHT WITH GOD, AND LAW-ABIDING.  DOING EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE, AND MAKING ALL YOUR DECISIONS ACCORDING TO GOD’S LAWS, TEACHINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES.

THAT IS YOUR WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING.  KEEPING GOD’S STATUTES AND JUDGMENTS.

DEUTERONOMY 4.7  You know, when you Cleave to The LORD, that is to say, when you Join The LORD, and Stick Close to Him, you do everything GOD says that is Written in The Bible.

You Obey His every Word.  You Obey His Law of Moses.  And you have Faith in Messiah Yeshua for your Atonement.

So when you do all that GOD says to do, you as non-Jewish People have Joined in with Israel and The Jewish People, and become fully part of GOD’S Chosen People.

And Israel is that nation that is so great who has THE LORD OUR GOD so near to us that we can call upon Him in all things.

DEUTERONOMY 4.8  What nation is there so great that has Statutes and Judgments so Righteous as This Torah, GOD’S Law of Moses which GOD sets before you this day?

ISRAEL IS THAT NATION.

But every nation in the world has GOD’S Statutes and Judgments that are so Righteous as all GOD’S Torah, His Law of Moses.  Because they have at The Bible of GOD at their finger tips.

But no nation in the world other than Israel teaches and lives by GOD’S Statutes and Judgments that are so Righteous as GOD’S Torah, GOD’S Law of Moses.

And no nation even comes close to obeying GOD except Israel and The Jewish People.

And Israel and The Jewish People have some corrections to make.

Every nation other than Israel rejects Torah, GOD’S Law of Moses.  Even those nations that teach their religion from The Jewish Bible that has GOD’S Statutes and Judgments, and His Law Written in it.

They too reject GOD’S Statutes and Judgments, and GOD’S Laws that are written in the Law of Moses.

AND THAT IS SIN.  1 JOHN 3.4

YOU SHALL NOT FEAR THEM, FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD, HE SHALL FIGHT FOR YOU

Shalom.

Our teaching this morning will continue in Torah, GOD’S Laws, Teachings, and Instructions that are written in The Law of Moses, from Deuteronomy 3.18-29.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, YOU SHALL NOT FEAR THEM, FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD, HE SHALL FIGHT FOR YOU.

And with that said, let’s read Deuteronomy 3.18-29.

DEUTERONOMY 3.18-20  Moses was speaking to The Children of Israel, reviewing their victory over the King of Bashan.

Earlier the King of Bashan and his people came out to battle The Children of Israel, and The Israelites defeated them, and took their land and possessed it to be part of The Jewish Homeland Israel that GOD gave The Jewish People for an Everlasting Possession.

Bashan was in the current-day Golan Heights region on the Syrian side.  And after the defeat of the King of Bashan and his people, the leadership of The Tribes of Reuben and Gad approached Moses and Eleazar The High Priest and the Leaders of The Congregation of Israel asking them for the land of Gilead for their possession because it was a good land for their flocks.  Gilead was in the land of Bashan.

And Moses was upset with them.  And he said, Shall your brothers go to war and you will just sit here?  Why do you discourage the hearts of The Children of Israel from going over into the Land which The LORD has given them?

And the men from The Tribes of Reuben and Gad said, We will build sheepfolds here for our flocks, and towns for our children.  And our little ones, our wives, our flocks and all our cattle will remain here in the cities of Gilead.  But first we will go over the Jordan River armed for war before The LORD to battle until we have brought them into their place.  And we will not return to our houses until every Israelite has inherited their inheritance.

And Moses agreed, and gave the land of Gilead to The Tribes of Reuben and Gad for their possession, conditional upon their first fighting the Canaanites before The LORD to subdue the land of Canaan.  And the Tribes of Reuben and Gad fulfilled their promise to Moses.  And they were key in the war against the  Canaanites.  NUMBERS 32, DEUTERONOMY 3.1-6

DEUTERONOMY 3.21  KINGDOMS in Hebrew is MAHM’LAH’KHOTE, also meaning Countries of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, the Canaanites, and the other Countries that were in the land of Canaan.

The two kings of the Amorites and Bashan had their own Countries on the other side of the Jordan River, and not in Canaan.

And The Children of Israel had killed those two kings and all their people and took their land and possessed it. And The LORD GOD gave that land to The Children of Israel to be part of their Jewish Homeland.

And Moses said to The Congregation of Israel, As The LORD YOUR GOD has done to these two kings, so shall The LORD do to all the Kingdoms that you will possess.  He will kill them, and you will possess their land for your Homeland.

GOD did not overthrow the Canaanites and give their land to The Children of Israel for the Righteousness of The Children of Israel, but because of the wickedness of the Canaanites. DEUTERONOMY 9.1-5

DEUTERONOMY 9.5  Because GOD will perform The Word which He swore to Your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. GENESIS 12.7, GENESIS 13, 14-15, GENESIS 15.7, GENESIS 17.8, GENESIS 26.1-5, GENESIS 28.10-13

DEUTERONOMY 3.22  YOU SHALL NOT FEAR THEM, FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD, HE SHALL FIGHT FOR YOU.

These Words are so important.  You shall not fear them, for The LORD YOUR GOD, He shall fight for you.

With the things that are happening today, North Korea, hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, Arab terrorists, Iran, the enemies of Israel and The Jewish People, and the list goes on. You shall not fear them, for The LORD YOUR GOD, He shall fight for you.

Remember these Words forever.  For The LORD YOUR GOD is always on your side.  And He goes before you to fight the battle.

DEUTERONOMY 3.23-24  O LORD GOD, You have begun to show your servant Your Greatness, and Your Mighty Hand. For what god is there in Heaven or in earth that can do according to Your Works, and according to Your Might?  The answer, none.  No not one.

The Greatness and The Might of The LORD OUR GOD is beyond human knowledge.  We see GOD’S Greatness and Mighty Hand every day.  But how Great is His Might? Example.  The hurricanes in Houston and Florida are but small wonders of His Greatness and His Might.

Paul writes, His Ways are past finding out.  And The LORD GOD says through His Prophet Moses, The secret things belong to The LORD OUR GOD, but those things that are revealed belong to us and our children forever to do all The Words of this Torah, The Law of Moses.

Let GOD work His Greatness.  Let the people on earth obey GOD and His Torah, GOD’S Law of Moses.  ROMANS 11.33-36, HEBREW BIBLE  DEUTERONOMY 29.28, CHRISTIAN BIBLE DEUTERONOMY 29.29

The path and the destiny of all mankind, and all nations are in the Hands of The LORD GOD OF CREATION.  And He directs them wherever He will.

PROVERBS 21.1  The King’s heart is in The Hand of The LORD. As the rivers of water, He turns it wherever He will.

Meaning, GOD directs everyone, and every living creature to wherever He will.  The King, The President, you, me, everyone, the entire world and all the universe, wherever The LORD GOD chooses.

The events of today, the events of history, and the events of the future are all in The Hands of The Living GOD.  And His Name and Title are Yeshua Ha Mashiakh, Yeshua The Messiah.  And He will direct them howsoever He will.

There is no GOD like Him in Heaven or in earth.  There is no GOD other than The LORD OUR GOD Who shows His Greatness and Mighty Hand every day.

So always remember what Moses said, You shall not fear them, for The LORD YOUR GOD, He will fight for you.

But The LORD has Conditions for whom He will fight for. Those Conditions are The Foundation of The Bible.  Obedience to The GOD of Creation and Faith in The Messiah Yeshua for Atonement.  Those are The People whom GOD will always fight for.  Those who are obedient to His Commandments forever.  EXODUS 20.6 and DEUTERONOMY 5.10 in The Ten Commandments, and DEUTERONOMY 7.9

The Word COMMANDMENTS in Hebrew is MEETZ’VOTE meaning, THE ENTIRE LAW OF MOSES.

GOD’S COMMANDMENTS are Collectively His entire Law of Moses that is written in the first five Books of The Bible.  And that includes faith in Messiah Yeshua for Atonement for the forgiveness of your sins.

The New Testament is part of The Old Testament.

The Old Testament, called in Judaism The Tnakh, consists of The Torah, that is GOD’S Law of Moses in the first five book of The Bible, and The Prophets, and The Writings, such as The Psalms and Proverbs.

The New Testament is part of the Old Testament because of the many Prophesies about Messiah Yeshua in Torah, The Prophets, and The Writings.  DEUTERONOMY 18.18-19, JEREMIAH 31.31-34, ELOHIM, PSALM 16.10

The Prophet in Deuteronomy 18.18-19 is not just any Prophet but The Prophet Messiah Yeshua Who came to Israel in New Testament times.

And Jeremiah 31.31-34 is Prophesy of The New Covenant in which GOD will put His Torah, His Law of Moses in your heart and write it in your inward parts to obey.  To obey His Laws, Teachings and Instructions that are written in The Law of Moses, forever.

And GOD will be your GOD, and you shall be His People. And GOD will forgive your iniquity and remember your sin no more.  When you believe in The Messiah Yeshua for Atonement, and obey Torah, GOD’S Law of Moses forever.

ELOHIM is Written thousands of times in Tnakh, The Old Testament Scriptures.  Messiah Yeshua is ELOHIM, THE ONE GOD OF CREATION.  HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5, CHRISTIAN BIBLE ISAIAH 9.6, JOHN 12.45, 29, JOHN 14.

PSALM 16.10  This is Prophesy of Messiah’s Resurrection.

The New Testament can also be translated as The New Covenant, and is fully part of The Old Testament Scriptures, The Tnakh.

Tnakh in Hebrew is short for TORAH, (The Law of Moses), Nevi’im (Prophets), and Ketuvim, (Writings).  Add to that, The Brit Hadasha, (The New Testament) that is in full agreement with The Tnakh.

NOWHERE DOES THE BIBLE SAY THE NEW TESTAMENT REPLACES THE OLD TESTAMENT.  THAT IS FALSE.

THE NEW TESTAMENT IS NOT THE SECOND PART OF THE BIBLE.  THE NEW TESTAMENT IS FULLY PART OF TNAKH, THE OLD TESTAMENT.

AND LIKE THE TNAKH, THE WRITERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT WERE JEWISH.  SO WERE MESSIAH’S DISCIPLES AND APOSTLES JEWISH.  AND OF COURSE, THE MESSIAH YESHUA IS JEWISH.  AND HE IS GOD ALMIGHTY, JEHOVAH.

THE CHURCH NEVER INHERITED THE SACRED SCRIPTURES FROM JUDAISM.  WHERE DOES THAT STUFF COME FROM?

THE NEW COVENANT, WHO IS THE MESSIAH YESHUA REPLACES THE ANIMAL SACRIFICE FOR ATONEMENT WHILE THERE IS NO TEMPLE STANDING IN JERUSALEM.  LEVITICUS 17.8,9,11, ISAIAH 53.10, DANIEL 9.26

DEUTERONOMY 3.25  So again, Moses asked The LORD for His permission to go over the Jordan River and see the good land, the land of Canaan that GOD renamed The Land of Israel. That good mountain, I believe is Jerusalem.  And Lebanon is part of The GOD-Given Land of Israel.

When I visited Beirut, Lebanon in the early 1960’s Lebanon was one of the most beautiful countries in the world.  ISAIAH 66.20, NUMBERS 27.12-14

DEUTERONOMY 3.26  We will read the event that caused The LORD to be angry with Moses.  And because Moses was angry with The People, he sinned against GOD by not doing what The LORD told him to do.

Anger can get us into trouble with GOD.  So, be very careful. NUMBERS 20.1-12

GOD told Moses to speak to the rock.  But Moses struck the rock twice with his staff.

And Moses took credit for bringing the water out of the rock when he said to The Congregation, Must we bring you water out of the rock?  NUMBERS 20.11

SO THE LORD SAID TO MOSES, BECAUSE YOU DID NOT BELIEVE ME.

Important Words from The LORD.  Meaning, if you do not believe GOD, you will not do what GOD says in The Bible.

But if you Believe GOD, You will do whatever GOD says in The Bible.

GOD’S Commandments are not difficult. 1 JOHN 5.3

Most people do not believe GOD.  They do not do a thing GOD says that is written in The Bible.  And that is sin.

Nowhere does The Bible say, You do not have to obey GOD’S Laws that are written in The Law of Moses.  That teaching comes from men, or women who are out of touch with GOD.

So The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, Because you did not Believe Me to Sanctify Me in the eyes of The Children of Israel, you will not bring this Congregation into The Land which I have given them.  NUMBERS 20.12

The word SANCTIFY, as in, You did not Believe Me to Sanctify Me in the eyes of The Children of Israel, is KAH’DASH meaning, HONOR, and SET APART.

Moses and Aaron DID NOT HONOR THE LORD GOD, NOR DID THEY SET HIM APART FOR WHO HE IS.  GOD ALMIGHTY THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM.

Therefore, The LORD said to Moses, Enough, you will not bring this Congregation into The Land which I have given them.  And do not talk to me about it anymore.  NUMBERS 20.12, DEUTERONOMY 3.26

DEUTERONOMY 3.27  But The LORD told Moses to go up to the top of Mount Pisgah and see the whole Land of Israel from there.  But, again, The LORD reminded Moses, You will not cross the Jordan River into The Land.

DEUTERONOMY 3.28  These were the words that Moses spoke to all The Congregation of The Children of Israel.  The change in leadership from Moses to Joshua.  Joshua, The LORD said, will cause the Children of Israel to inherit the land of Canaan which you shall see from the top of the mountain.

DEUTERONOMY 3.29  So Moses continued his talk with The People, saying, We remained in the Valley before Beth-Peor.

Beth-Peor was a town near the Jordan River.  That is where Moses died and GOD buried him.  Near Beth-Peor. DEUTERONOMY 34.5-6

A couple things to remember from the words of Moses’ message to The Children of Israel.

YOU SHALL NOT FEAR THEM, FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD, HE SHALL FIGHT FOR YOU.

AND EVIDENCE THAT YOU BELIEVE GOD IS THAT YOU DO WHAT GOD SAYS TO DO IN THE BIBLE FROM GENESIS THROUGH REVELATION.

That is to say, you have faith in The Messiah Yeshua for your Atonement, and you live by every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of GOD.  And that includes His Law of Moses written in the first five Books of The Bible.

Evidence people do not Believe GOD is when they do not do what GOD says.  Such as rejecting The Law of Moses that has GOD’S Laws, Teachings and Instructions written in it. NUMBERS 20.12, DEUTERONOMY 8.3, MATTHEW 4.4

IF WHAT YOU ARE READING DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE LAW OF MOSES WRITTEN IN GENESIS, EXODUS, LEVITICUS, NUMBERS, AND DEUTERONOMY, THE WORDS YOU ARE READING ARE INCORRECTLY TRANSLATED.

NEW TESTAMENT TEACHING MUST AGREE WITH GOD’S TORAH, HIS LAWS, TEACHINGS, AND INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES.  BECAUSE THE NEW TESTAMENT IS FULLY PART OF GOD’S TORAH, HIS LAW OF MOSES.

A note of interest.  You will not find one GODLY Person in The Bible from Genesis through Revelation having The Holy Spirit who rejected The Law of Moses.  No not one.  ACTS 5.32, LUKE 8.21

THE LORD YOUR GOD HAS GIVEN YOU THIS LAND TO POSSESS IT

Shalom.

Our Teaching from Torah, GOD’S Laws, Teachings, and Instructions that are written in The Law of Moses will continue from Deuteronomy 3.12-18.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, THE LORD YOUR GOD HAS GIVEN YOU THIS LAND TO POSSESS IT.

So with that said, let’s read Deuteronomy 3.12-18.

The Children of Israel, better known today as The Jewish People were in the fortieth year of their forty year journey by foot to The Promised Land Canaan having GOD’S Commandment to drive out the Canaanites from their land, and possess it for your Everlasting Homeland.  That Land is from a River in Egypt and extends to The Euphrates River. GENESIS 15,18-21

The Children of Israel, at the writing of The Book of Deuteronomy, were in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month from their Exodus out of Egypt after four hundred years of brutal Egyptian slavery.

That was some 3,400 years ago that Israel conquered the land of Canaan that GOD renamed The Land of Israel.

And though The LORD GOD of Creation told Abraham that He has given The Jewish People The Land of Israel for an Everlasting Possession, many peoples and nations have a demonic yearning to drive The Jewish People out of Their God-Given Homeland.  It will never happen.  GENESIS 17.8

They call for a two state solution that will bring great grief upon The Jewish People as they experience from the false peace they made with the Palestinians in Gaza and south Lebanon.

The LORD Commands The Jewish People to never sell The Land, or any part of it.  For The LORD says, The Land is Mine.  For you are sojourners and residents With Me. LEVITICUS 25.23

Something can be sold for money or for something other than money.  Such as peace.  In the case of the Palestinians, what they return is false peace that kills Jewish People as they did when Israel gave them Gaza, and southern Lebanon.  All part of The Land of Israel that GOD gave to The Jewish People for an Everlasting Possession.

THERE IS A TIME IN THE FUTURE THAT THE JEWISH PEOPLE WILL RETURN TO THEIR GOD-GIVEN BORDERS OF ISRAEL TO THE EUPHRATES.  AND WE WILL ADDRESS THAT LATER IN THIS MESSAGE.

Back to our Studies in Deuteronomy.

Moses was reviewing the victories that The Children of Israel had in their battles with the King of Heshbon, and the King of Bashan.  Israel defeated and killed those two Kings and their people.  And they took their possessions and possessed their land as GOD Commanded them.

Bashan was a region in the Golan Heights area north of The Sea of Galilee in current-day Syria.  Heshbon was the Capital of the Amorites near the Dead Sea in current-day Jordan.

Both countries were not part of the land of Canaan.  But GOD Commanded The Children of Israel to kill the Kings and their people, and take their cities and their livestock and all their possessions.

GOD The LORD Commanded The Children of Israel to kill the Canaanites because of their iniquity.  Because of their sin, their abominations against GOD that fly in the face of all GOD’S Laws, Teachings, and Instructions that are written in The Law of Moses.

The same iniquity that covers the face of the earth today.  THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN DEUTERONOMY 5.1-21 ARE A GOOD EXAMPLE OF GOD’S LAWS, TEACHINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE NOT FOLLOWED.  DEUTERONOMY 7.1-6, DEUTERONOMY 18.9-14

DEUTERONOMY 18.9-14  DIVINATION is witchcraft, OBSERVERS OF TIMES practice magic, ENCHANTERS practice magic spells, CHARMERS are mediums who consult with demons, WIZARDS deal with evil spirits, they are sorcerers, WITCHES are like wizards, NECROMANCERS consult with the dead, OBSERVERS OF TIMES practice magic, DIVINERS practice witchcraft, FAMILIAR SPIRITS are evil spirits.

DEUTERONOMY 18.13-14  GOD Commands His People to be perfect with The LORD Your GOD for those nations which you shall possess did all those abominations.

Being Perfect with The LORD today is having faith in Messiah Yeshua for your Atonement, and living by every Word that proceeds out of The Mouth of GOD.  And that includes Torah, The Law of Moses. DEUTERONOMY 8.3, MATTHEW 4.4

Let’s look at DEUTERONOMY 3.12-13  Aroer was on the  edge of the Arnon River by the Dead Sea in current-day Jordan. Half of the hill country of Gilead was between the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee on the other side of the Jordan River in current-day Jordan.  And Moses gave half the hill country of Gilead and their cities to The Tribe of Reuben and The Tribe of Gad.

And Moses gave the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan in The Golan Heights area to half The Tribe of Manasseh.  And The Bible says, the region of Argob and all Bashan which was in the Golan Heights was called the land of Rephaim, or the land of the giants.  DEUTERONOMY 2.36, GENESIS 15.20.

GENESIS 15.20  The Rephaim were giants.

To get an idea how big these giants were, King Og’s bed was 14 1/2 feet long and 7 feet wide.  Goliath was a Philistine, not a Rephaim, but he was over 10 feet tall.  And these guys lived in the land of Canaan that became the Land of Israel.  And I’m guessing that David was about 5 feet 11 inches tall. DEUTERONOMY 3.11, 1 SAMUEL 17.4

DEUTERONOMY 3.14  A man by the name of Yah’eer, the son of Manasseh, that is to say, a descendant of Manasseh took a portion of land in Bashan within the territory of the half Tribe of Manassah and called it by his own name.  Khahvote Yah’eer, meaning, Villages of Yah’eer.

DEUTERONOMY 3.15  And Moses gave Gilead to Machir. Manasseh was the son of Joseph who was the father of the Tribe of Manasseh.  And Machir also was a descendant of Manasseh. And Moses gave Machir Gilead as a possession.

Gilead was a region east of the Jordan River in current-day Jordan.  That region became part of Israel at the Command of The LORD GOD.  DEUTERONOMY 3.1-2, GENESIS 41.51-52, NUMBERS 32.39-40

DEUTERONOMY 3.16-17  The Tribe of Gad bordered the half Tribe of Manasseh to the south.  And The Tribe of Reuben bordered Gad to the south.  The Half Tribe of Manasseh, and The Tribe of Gad, and the Tribe of Reuben were on the east side of The Jordan River in current-day Jordan.  Part of the GOD-Given Borders of Israel.

There is a time in the future that current-day Jordan, from The Dead Sea to The Sea of Galilee will see that land return to The Jewish People when The LORD returns.  And The LORD will return all the Sinai, the Gaza, and all of today’s Israel that will have no Palestinian territories in it because the Land will be all Israel.  There will be no Palestinians in The Land of Israel.  Add to that all of Lebanon, much of Syria and Iraq from The Euphrates River south to a River in Egypt will be returned to The Jewish People.

The LORD GOD will return all their GOD-Given Land to The Jewish People that will be their new home.  And the Land of Israel will be like the Garden of Eden during the 1,000 year Messianic Kingdom of Peace in The Land of Israel.  And all The Gentile People who belong to Messiah Yeshua will join GOD’S Chosen People in Israel in The Messianic Kingdom. And Messiah Yeshua will reign over all the earth.  GENESIS 15.18-21, ISAIAH 51.3, ZECHARIAH 14.9

DEUTERONOMY 3.18  Don’t the nations realize that The GOD of Creation has given The Land of Israel to The Jewish People for an Everlasting Possession?  Many of those people have Bibles in their homes and they can read throughout Scripture that GOD has given The Land of Israel to The Jewish People.

So why do the nations keep trying to take the Land away from us by wars, and edicts, and demands?

I believe I have the answer, and it’s from The Bible.

Let’s look at DANIEL 9.20-27

VERSE 20  Some 2,500 years ago, Daniel and The Jewish People were in exile in Babylon and Persia.  And Daniel was praying to The LORD reminding Him that He appointed The Jewish People to seventy years in exile in Babylon because of their sins against  GOD.  And seventy years were drawing to an end.  And Daniel was confessing his own sins and the sins of his People Israel to The LORD for The Holy Mountain of GOD.  That is Jerusalem.  And Jerusalem was in desolations.

VERSE 21  While Daniel was in prayer, the Angel Gabriel whom he had seen earlier in a vision flew swiftly to him, and touched Daniel about the time of the evening offering.

VERSE 22  And the Angel Gabriel informed Daniel, and talked with him, and said, O Daniel, I have come forth to give you skill and understanding.

VERSE 23  And The Angel Gabriel said to Daniel The Prophet, At the beginning of your prayers, The Commandment from GOD came forth to me.  The Word Commandment in Hebrew is DAHVAR, meaning a DECREE.  A DECREE HAS THE FORCE OF LAW.

So what the Angel was about to tell Daniel was LAW.  GOD’S Law.

And the Angel said, I have come to explain GOD’S Commandment to you, for you are greatly beloved.  Therefore understand the matter and consider the vision.

VERSE 24  Seventy weeks are determined on your People and upon your Holy City.

Seventy weeks are seventy weeks of years or 490 years that GOD has Determined upon The Jewish People and The Jewish Holy City Jerusalem.

At the end of this 490 year period that GOD has Determined on The Jewish People, and Jerusalem, their transgression will finish, their sins will come to an end, and they will make atonement with The LORD Their GOD.

And GOD will bring in Everlasting Righteousness.  And The Most Holy will be anointed.  The Most Holy is The Temple.

And the Angel said, Seal up this Vision and Prophesy. Meaning, the Vision and Prophesy belong to GOD and they will be fulfilled at the time GOD has appointed.

THE END OF THE 490TH YEAR, OF COURSE, IS THE FUTURE RETURN FROM HEAVEN OF THE JEWISH MESSIAH YESHUA, HA SHEM ELOHIM TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL. AND THE BEGINNING OF THE 1,000 YEAR MESSIANIC KINGDOM ON EARTH IN ISRAEL.

THE JEWISH PEOPLE LIVING IN ISRAEL AT MESSIAH’S RETURN, AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE WHOM GOD WILL BRING INTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL WILL FINISH THEIR TRANSGRESSION, MAKE AN END OF THEIR SIN. THEY WILL MAKE ATONEMENT FOR THEIR INIQUITY, AND EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL BE BROUGHT IN.

So, the answer to our question, Why do the nations continue their strong effort to take The Land of Israel from The Jewish People by wars, edicts and demands?  Because Israel and the Jewish People are in sin.  And Israel and The Jewish People will continue to be in sin until the Return of The LORD Their GOD, The Messiah Yeshua.  Zechariah 14.1-5

What is sin, transgression, and iniquity?

Sin, transgression, and iniquity violate Torah.  The People violate GOD by disobeying GOD’S Law of Moses.  The Law of Moses has all GOD’S Laws, Teachings and Instructions Written in it in the first five Books of The Bible.  NUMBERS 15.30-31, 1 JOHN 3.4

NUMBERS 15.31  Despising The Word of The LORD is violating GOD’S Commandment.  Breaking a Commandment of GOD is breaking any of GOD’S Laws, Teachings and Instructions that are written in The Law of Moses.

1 JOHN 3.4  Sin, transgression, and iniquity are the same in The New Testament.  For sin is the transgression of The Law. Breaking GOD’S Laws, Teachings, and Instructions that are written in The Law of Moses.  ISAIAH 40.8

And The LORD says through the Prophet Isaiah, Israel and The Jewish People receive DOUBLE for their sins. DANIEL 9.24, ISAIAH 40.1-2

However, the 490th year has not yet come because there is a huge gap between the 483rd year and the 490th year of the seventy weeks of years.

Let’s finish the Prophesy.

VERSE 25  The Commandment that went forth is found in The Book of Nehemiah.  Nehemiah was the wine bearer for the King of Persia.  The same Nehemiah who wrote The Book of Nehemiah asked The King of Persia, the new masters of the Babylonian Empire for permission to return to Judah where Jerusalem is, to rebuild The City of Jerusalem and The Temple. And the King gave Nehemiah his permission.  NEHEMIAH 2.5-8

That was the beginning of the countdown for the seventy weeks of years.

It will take seven weeks of years, or 49 years to restore and build Jerusalem.

AND AT THE END OF 69 WEEKS OF YEARS, OR 483 YEARS FROM THE TIME OF THE COMMANDMENT, THE JEWISH MESSIAH YESHUA, THE PRINCE WILL COME.

AND THE JEWISH MESSIAH YESHUA, THE PRINCE CAME EXACTLY AT THAT TIME AS PROPHESIED. 

THAT IS WHY MESSIAH YESHUA SAID TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE, WHY IS IT YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE THIS TIME? LUKE 12.54-56, MARK 1.14-15

Earlier in this 483 year period according to The Prophesy, Jerusalem, and the wall around Jerusalem were built.  But as Prophesied, The Jewish People had great trouble with the enemy who came in and occupied The Land of Israel while the Jewish People were in exile in Babylon and Persia.

DANIEL 9.26  After Jerusalem and The Temple were built that took 7 weeks of years, or 49 years, and another sixty two weeks of years, or 434 years, Messiah Yeshua was cut off.  But not for Himself. 

Meaning, Messiah was killed.  But not for Himself. Because Messiah did no wrong. 

Messiah was killed to make Atonement for The Souls of His Jewish People, and all mankind who believe on Him and live their lives according to every Word that Proceeds out of The Mouth of GOD that is written in The Bible. DEUTERONOMY 8.3, MATTHEW 4.4 

And after Messiah’s death, another prince, the prince of the Roman armies will come, and did come and destroyed Jerusalem and The Sanctuary which is The Temple.

And GOD has determined that wars in Israel will continue, even to this day.  Because we Jewish People continue to sin against THE LORD OUR GOD.  DANIEL 9.24, 26, LEVITICUS 17.11

The 490 year countdown came to a temporary end at the end of the 483 years when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and The Temple in 70 C.E./A.D.

The 490th year is in the future.

DANIEL 9.27  This Verse contains the 490th week of years, or seven years.

He, an anti-GOD person, will make a Covenant, or a Peace Treaty with Israel and I believe the Palestinians for one week, or seven years.  And part of that peace treaty contains permission for The Jewish People to build a Third Temple on The Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

Not everyone will agree to this Peace Treaty according to the Prophesy, but the Peace will be made.

But after three and a half years of Peace, this anti-GOD person will cause the sacrifice at The Temple to cease.

He will bring his idols and other pagan stuff into The Temple.

And GOD will quickly bring upon the earth three and a half years of the greatest tribulation the world will ever experience.

And Israel will be attacked by all the nations of the world. But THE MESSIAH YESHUA, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM ELOHIM will return from Heaven to Israel with all His Holy Ones.

And THE MESSIAH YESHUA, THE LORD GOD will save His Jewish People from sure death.  And destroy all Israel’s enemies.  And He will bring His Jewish People into The Land of Israel along with those Gentile People who Belong to Messiah Yeshua through their faith in Messiah and obedience to His Torah, The Law of Moses.  Along with those who love The Jewish People and Israel.  GENESIS 12.3

And the 1,000 year Messianic Kingdom on earth in Israel that will be like the Garden of Eden will begin.  And Messiah Yeshua will reign over all the earth from Jerusalem.

AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WILL POSSESS ALL THEIR GOD-GIVEN LAND FROM A RIVER IN EGYPT TO THE GREAT RIVER, THE RIVER EUPHRATES.

After the 1,000 years is another study.
