Hebrews 13:8….
Yahushua Messiah is the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
Some people look at this
text and believe it is talking about his power. But , it’s talking about his purpose and personage!
the same. Greek word. ho autos.
This is the translated in the Septuagint of the Hebrew 'attah hu, . the same, was, is,
Psa_102:27…. “But You are the same, And
Your years have no end.
Mal_3:6. … “For I am יהוה, I shall not change, and you, O sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, shall not
come to an end.
Number 23:19….“For I am יהוה, I shall not change, and you, O sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, shall not
come to an end.
If this messiah who some
call Jesus has changed the order of Yah, then he has become a fraud.
If he’s the same, then his
purpose does not change the order of Yah.
Now, to understand his
purpose:
1.
we must understand his assignment
2.
we must understand his message
3.
we must understand his actions
All three (3) must line up
and agree in order for him to be the same: his assignment, message and action
must be the same throughout the context of scripture.
When we see these three (3)
things (assignment, message, actions) in Mashiach, then we are seeing the
Father’s heart/will being revealed in Mashiach’s purpose.
(Yochanan
5:43-ISR) “I have come in My Father’s
Name and you do not receive Me, if another comes in his own name, him you would
receive.
(Yochanan
5:43-OJB) I have come b'Shem Avi and you
do not accept me. If another comes in his own name, him you will accept.
In vs43 - Name has the Greek #3686 word "onoma"
which means authority/character and name. When passing
that word through the
Hebrew, it is the word "Shem"
Therefore the
Mashiach has to walk in the authority/character of the Father, and have in
his name the Father’s name.
What Yahushua
said himself “I have come in My Father’s Name" automatically
dissolves the Replacement Mindset that Christians carry --- that the Messiah
came in another name (Jesus) to teach something totally different from what the
Father has already said.
So that leads to this question: What is the Father's
name? We all can do a little historical fact research via online historical documents,
Encyclopedias, Hebrew Dictionaries and Concordances to find that translators of
the scriptures (over 7000 times) replaced the Father's name with a
title---that's factual. That's why in
most English writings we see the title GOD or LORD. Nonetheless in your
research you will discover the Hebrew tetragrammaton Y (Yod) H (Hay) U (Uau)/[Waw] H (Hay) - when placed together YHUH, phonetically
pronounced as Yah-hoo-ah (Yahuah).
In the same online historical documents, you will
discover that the letter "J" is 500-600 years old; and since
Mashiach lived at least 2000 years ago then his name is not Jesus. According to
the Greek #3686 word "onoma"
which means authority/character and name, then
the name of the Mashiach must contain the Father's
name.
The Replacement Mindset person refuses to use the
Israelite/Hebrew name of the Mashiach because it would force them to
acknowledge Yahuah as Father, Yahushua as Mashiach, which would make the Torah/instructions
valid.
When we look at the witness of Torah regarding
Mashiach Yahushua, then we must look at what Moshe said about Mashiach.
(Debarim
18:15-ISR) “יהוה your
Elohim shall raise up for you a Navi/Prophet like me from your midst, from your
brothers. Listen to Him,
(Debarim18:16-ISR) according to all you asked of יהוה your
Elohim in Ḥorĕḇ in the day of the assembly, saying, ‘Let me not hear again
the voice of יהוה my Elohim, nor let me see this great fire
any more, lest I die.’
(Debarim
18:17-ISR) “And יהוה said to
me, ‘What they have spoken is good.
(Debarim
18:18-ISR) ‘I shall raise up for them a
Navi/Prophet like you out of the midst of their brothers. And I shall put My
Words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.
There's several things in this text that Moshe is
saying:
·
The Navi will be like Moshe - who was an Israelite and Torah giver
·
This Navi does as Moshe did - receive the
Torah/Instructions directly from Yahuah
For a second time - this automatically dissolves the
Replacement Mindset that Christians carry --- that the Messiah came to teach
something totally different other than what he received of the Father.
(Yochanan
5:44-ISR) “How are you able to believe,
when you are receiving esteem from one another, and the esteem that is from the
only Elohim you do not seek?
(Yochanan
5:45-ISR) “Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father. There is
one who accuses you: Mosheh, in whom you have set your expectation.(Yochanan 5:46-ISR) “For if you believed Mosheh, you would have believed Me, since he wrote about Me.
(Yochanan 5:47-ISR) “But if you do not believe his writings, how shall you believe My words?”
What is Mashiach
saying here?
Firstly in v44
- in modern terms- Mashiach is saying that we can't fully embrace HIM for who
HE is and what HIS Purpose is; because we are so busy esteeming ourselves.
How can he say
that? In general Christians get more
benefit out of having the Replacement Mindset because it feeds
the emotions or itching ears (the going to church, Sunday gatherings, we have grace,
the blood and the cross) these are feel
good distorted justifications of scripture on why you should follow a different
path/way other than the Torah path that is already laid.
Secondly in vs45-47: Mashiach is addressing the
works that Torah Keepers get joy/simchah out of by simply doing the outward
works of Torah instead of walking in the goal
of Torah which is Mashiach. A
clear sign that you don't believe what Moshe said about the Mashiach - is that
you are not believing/walking in the emunah
(belief and trust) in the words of Mashiach properly.
(Yochanan
5:43-ISR) “I have come in My Father’s
Name and you do not receive Me, if another comes in his own name, him you would
receive.
Yahushua here is addressing the Replacement Mindset
when he said another coming in his own name. When we accept a vessel or
a teaching that is different from what was spoken of/by Moshe, then we are
accepting the anti-Mashiach message -HOW? Because the anti-Mashiach
comes in his own name instead of the name of the FATHER YHUH - Amein!
Now, according to (Debarim 18:15-18-ISR):
·
The Navi/prophet will be like Moshe - who was an Israelite and Torah giver
·
This Navi does as Moshe did - receive the
Torah/Instructions directly from Yahuah
Here's a note to ponder to assist in understanding
scripture: Watch the Written Word Narrative
-- You then will Discover a Pattern -- After
you discover the Pattern, Purpose will be Revealed
(Isa
46:10-ISR) declaring the end from the
beginning, and from of old that which has not yet been done, saying, ‘My
counsel does stand, and all My delight I do,’…..Amein!
(Yochanan
6:38-ISR) “Because I have come down out of the heaven, not to do My own desire,
but the desire of Him who sent Me.
Yahushua as the
living Torah uses the Figure of Speech "I have come down" to
point us to how the Torah was given - it came down from above!
The word "desire"
is equal to the word "will". Will or Desire is derived from the Greek
#2307 word "thelema". Which means to wish
or desire , and is the emotional
element which leads to the consequent action
The Replacement Mindset that Christians carry is that the Messiah came to teach something
totally different other than what he received of the Father.
(Isa 55:11) …so is My Word that goes forth from My mouth – it does
not return to Me empty, but shall do what I please, and shall certainly accomplish
what I sent it for.
(Deu 8:3) “And He humbled you, and let you suffer
hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers
know, to make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but by every Word
that comes from the mouth of יהוה
Did not Mashiach quote this in Mt. 4:4 and in Lk. 4:4?...se’lah
(Luk 24:25) And He said to them, “O thoughtless ones, and
slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
(Luk 24:26) “Was it not necessary for the Messiah to
suffer these and to enter into His esteem?”
(Luk 24:27) And beginning at Moshe and all the
Prophets/Navi'im, He was explaining to them in all the Scriptures the matters
concerning Himself.
Why Did Yahushua
begin at Moshe? Because Moshe/Torah/Law
is the foundation whereby every instruction/direction is built upon. A
Prophet/Navi cannot be of Elohim without the Moshe/Torah Foundation. The Torah is where we get our Emunah/Belief/Faith
from.
A nugget to
ponder: if your belief/faith comes by hearing the word of Elohim; then where in the
word of Elohim does it say that Messiah came to do or establish Christianity
What Yochanan says about Mashiach/Messiah
(Joh 3:32) “And what He has seen and heard, that He
witnesses. And no one receives His witness.(Joh 3:33) “He who receives His witness has set his seal that Elohim is true.
(Joh 3:34) “For He whom Elohim has sent speaks the Words of Elohim, for Elohim does not give the Spirit by measure.
Words of
Yahushua around Succot about the Origin of His Teaching
(Joh 7:16) יהושע answered
them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. (Joh 7:17) “If anyone desires to do His desire, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is from Elohim, or whether I speak from Myself.
(Joh 7:18) “He who speaks from himself is seeking his own esteem, but He who seeks the esteem of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.
Yahushua
says He did not teach a new religion
(Joh 8:28) So יהושע said to
them, “When you lift up the Son of Aḏam, then you shall know that I am He, and
that I do none at all of Myself, but as My Father taught Me, these words
I speak.
(Joh 8:47) “He who is of Elohim hears the Words of
Elohim, therefore you do not hear because you are not of Elohim.”
(Joh 14:10) “Do you not believe that I am in the Father,
and the Father is in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak from
Myself. But the Father who stays in Me does His works.
(Joh 14:24) “He who does not love Me does not guard My
Words. And the Word which you hear is not Mine but of the Father Who sent
Me.
(Joh 17:8) “Because the Words which You gave to Me, I
have given to them. And they have received them, and have truly known that I
came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.
(Joh 17:14) “I have given them Your Word, and the
world hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world..
More references to the Fathers name:
Shemoth (Exodus) 3:14
And Elohim said to Mosheh, “I am that which I am.” And He said, “Thus you
shall say to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘I am has sent me to you.
For I am that I am-----The Hebrew
text reads: ’eyeh ’asher ’eyeh, the word ’eyeh being derived from hayah which
means to be, to exist
Yah is telling Moshe and us that HE is the ALL Accomplished One.
Shemoth(Exodus) 3:15
And Elohim said further to Mosheh, “Thus you are to say to the children
of Yisra’ĕl, Yahuah Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim
of Yitsḥaq, and the Elohim of Yaʽaqob, has sent me to you. This is My Name
forever, and this is My remembrance to all generations.
***remembrance is another word for memorial
So the NAME of Yahuah is our Creator/Father's memorial. Here's what the
word “memorial” means in Hebrew per Shemoth(Exodus) 3:15 text.
It comes from the Hebrew number H2143 which is assigned to the word
"zeker" which means:
Brown Driver
Briggs Hebrew Definition:
1) memorial, remembrance. 1a) remembrance, memory. 1b) memorial Part of
Speech: noun

Strongs
Hebrew Definition:
From H2142; a memento, abstractly recollection (rarely if ever); by
implication commemoration:
- memorial, memory, remembrance, scent.
Hos 2:16-ISR
“And it shall be, in that day,” declares יהוה, “that you call Me ‘My Husband,’ and no
longer call Me ‘My Baʽal.’ or My Master
Hos 2:17-ISR
“And I shall remove the names of the Baʽals from her mouth, and they
shall no more be remembered by their name.
Ba'al or Baalim = has a Hebrew #1168 word "Ba'al"
which is a
Phoenician/Canaanite deity. When
translated in English it means Lord.
So in essence Yah
is saying that HE shall remove that word "Ba'al" or Lord from our mouth.Shalom
