Replacement Theology - The break away

The beliefs and practices of God's people should be rooted in the Torah and the Prophets through the teachings of Messiah.

Acts 24:14 I admit that I worship the God of our ancestors as a follower of the Way, which they call a cult. I believe everything that is in accordance with the Torah and that is written in the Prophets.

Revelation 12:17 This dragon was very angry with the woman. He went off to fight with the rest of her children. They are the ones who obey the Torah of God and are faithful to the teachings of Jesus.

The "Way" was a term given to the life and teachings of Messiah based on His restoration of Torah.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Revelation 14:12 Here is the perseverance of the saints—those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

Through the years, religious man made some changes to God's original intent for mankind, Messiah came to restore God's original intent, this is why Messiah is the one we listen to and follow to be in God's will.

Deuteronomy 18:15 Moses continued, “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him.

Acts 3:22 Moses truly said to the fathers, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you.

John 12:48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

The teachings of Messiah show us God's true will for His creation, for example. Somewhere along the line Moses allowed for a husband to divorce his wife for any reason, but this was no God's original intent for mankind. Messiah restored His Father's will about divorce.

Matthew 19:3-9 The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?” And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” They said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?” He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”

Did you notice how, in Messiah's teachings, He doesn't do away with Torah, He restores it's original meaning? This is what we find in all of His teachings.

The apostasy is replacement theology.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

Notice in the above verse how the man of sin, the son of perdition, is revealed before the second coming of Messiah and before the apostasy? This means the Pope can and is the man of sin who sits in the temple of God showing himself that he is God. He is the one who changed God's times and law and introduced God's people to all the pagan holidays of Christmas, Easter, Good Friday, Sunday worship and so much more.

"The pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man...he is as it were, God on earth, sole sovereign of he faithful of Christ, chief of kings, having plenitude of power." Lucius Ferraris, Prompta Bibliotheca, 1763, Volume VI, ‘Papa II’, pp. 25 - 29

"The Pope has the power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ." "The Pope has the authority and often exercised it, to dispense with the command of Christ." Decretal, de Tranlatic Episcop. Cap. (The Pope can modify divine law.) Ferraris' Ecclesiastical Dictionary.

“Sunday is our mark of authority… the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.” ~ Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1, 1923

Everything that came out of the Vatican, through its popes, is the apostasy. For more information on this, visit the page called, Antichrist, on this website.

Apostasy is not about falling away from a belief in God, it's a falling away from the ways of God what was once believed about God.

Apostasy: the abandonment or renunciation of a religious or political belief.

The apostasy happened not because of some revelation of truth from God, but rather, because of a hatred for the ways of God and God's chosen people. Listen to Constantine, who was the emperor of pagan Rome during the same time as when the Vatican and its papacy came to power.

"The Constantine Creed"

“I renounce all customs, rites, legalisms, unleavened breads and sacrifices of lambs of the Hebrews, and all the other feasts of the Hebrews, sacrifices, prayers, aspirations, purifications, sanctifications, and propitiations, and fasts and new moons, and Sabbaths, and superstitions, and hymns and chants, and observances and synagogues. absolutely everything Jewish, every Law, rite and custom and if afterwards I shall wish to deny and return to Jewish superstition, or shall be found eating with Jews, or feasting with them, or secretly conversing and condemning the Christian religion instead of openly confuting them and condemning their vain faith, then let the trembling of Cain and the leprosy of Gehazi cleave to me, as well as the legal punishments to which I acknowledge myself liable. And may I be an anathema in the world to come, and may my soul be set down with Satan and the devils.” (Stefano Assemani, Acta Sanctorium Martyrum Orientalium at Occidentalium, Vol. 1, Rome 1748, page 105)

Martin Luther, who was a catholic priest and founder of the protestant reformation and the founder of today's Lutheran Church. Listen to what he had to say about Israel and the Jewish people.

"First, to set fire to their synagogues or schools … This is to be done in honor of our Lord and of Christendom, so that God might see that we are Christians …"
"Second, I advise that their houses also be razed and destroyed."
"Third, I advise that all their prayer books and Talmudic writings, in which such idolatry, lies, cursing, and blasphemy are taught, be taken from them."
"Fourth, I advise that their rabbis be forbidden to teach henceforth on pain of loss of life and limb'
"Fifth, I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews. For they have no business in the countryside …"
"Sixth, I advise that usury be prohibited to them, and that all cash and treasure of silver and gold be taken from them"
"Seventh, I recommend putting a flail, an ax, a hoe, a spade, a distaff, or a spindle into the hands of young, strong Jews and Jewesses and letting them earn their bread in the sweat of their brow …But if we are afraid that they might harm us or our wives, children, servants, cattle, etc., … then let us emulate the common sense of other nations such as France, Spain, Bohemia, etc., … then eject them forever from the country …"

Replacement Theology, also known as, Supersessionism, Dispensationalism or Administrations are terms that teach the church,with all its pagan beliefs and practices, replaced Israel. This doctrine has done away with the Hebraic roots of the faith by saying God is now using the church, as a new work, apart from Israel and apart from what God has already taught Israel in the Hebrew Scriptures. This couldn't be any further from the truth. All throughout the Scriptures we find God reaching out to restore and save His people, Israel.

Luke 2:25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon who was righteous and devout, looking for the restoration of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

Acts 1:6-7 So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to restore the kingdom of Israel?” He replied, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know.

By grace, God chose Israel to be His people. God taught Israel the way to live a life of righteousness and holiness in fellowship with Himself so that Israel could be a light to the nations/Gentile around them.

Isaiah 49:6 The Lord said to me, “I have a greater task for you, my servant. Not only will you restore to greatness the people of Israel who have survived, I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”

Remember, Messiah is Israel's Jewish King.

John 4:9 Then the woman of Samaria said to Jesus, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

John 1:45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”...49. Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”

God is going to rebuild and restore His people (ekklēsia) through Messiah and we, as Gentiles, can be part of that great work.

Matthew 16:15-18 Jesus said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will rebuild My church (ekklēsia), and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

Ekklēsia: the assembly of the Israelites.

Not only is Messiah a Jew, He is King of the Jews.

Matthew 27:11 Jesus stood in front of the governor, Pilate. The governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “Yes, I am,” Jesus answered.

Rebuilding the House of David, with Messiah on the throne as King, was also spoken of and promised by God.

Amos 9:9-11 “For surely I will command, and will sift the house of Israel among all nations, as grain is sifted in a sieve; yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground. All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, who say, ‘The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.’ “On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old.

Acts 15:14-17 Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name. And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written: ‘After this I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up; so that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who are called by My name, says the Lord who does all these things.’

Luke 1:32-33 "He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.

It's all about God using Messiah to restore and save Israel and bringing others, who were not Israel, with Him.

Ezekiel 37:21-22 And give them this message from the Sovereign Lord: I will gather the people of Israel from among the nations. I will bring them home to their own land from the places where they have been scattered. I will unify them into one nation on the mountains of Israel. One king will rule them all; no longer will they be divided into two nations or into two kingdoms.

Micah 4:2 Many nations shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Isaiah 56:6-8 As for the Gentiles, the outsiders who join the people of the Lord and serve him and love his name, who are his servants and don’t desecrate the Sabbath, and have accepted his covenant and promises, I will bring them also to my holy mountain of Jerusalem and make them full of joy within my House of Prayer. I will accept their sacrifices and offerings, for my Temple shall be called “A House of Prayer for All People”! For the Lord God who brings back the outcasts of Israel says: I will bring others, too, besides my people Israel.

All of this disappears when we receive, believe and teach, Replacement Theology.

"The New Covenant"

God's plan, through Israel, was to be an example to a fallen and corrupt world and a wayward people.

1 Corinthians 10:6-11 These things happened as examples for us, so that we will not crave evil things as they did. So do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.” And let us not be immoral, as some of them were, and twenty-three thousand died in a single day. And let us not put Christ to the test, as some of them did, and were destroyed by snakes. And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel. These things happened to them as examples and were written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

God is using Israel to teach the world how to live a blessed and holy life in fellowship with Himself, in spite of man's sinful nature, but Israel didn't do a very good job. They fell into all kinds of sin, idolatry and began to adopt the ways of the pagan nations around them. But God, in His love and plan for Israel, continued to pursue them. Israel made such a mess of things that God had to make a New Covenant with them.

Hebrews 8:7-9 If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second covenant to replace it. But when God found fault with the people, he said: “The day is coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah. This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and led them out of the land of Egypt. They did not remain faithful to my covenant, so I turned my back on them, says the Lord.

You can find the new covenant being made with Israel all throughout the Scriptures.

We can know for sure that God is making the New Covenant with Israel, not the Gentiles, because God never made an Old Covenant with the Gentiles so there is no reason to make a New Covenant with them.

Jeremiah 31:31-34 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”

God is not making the New Covenant with some entity outside of Israel called, the church. It's okay to use the term, church, but the more accurate term should be congregation or assembly. If we do use the term, church, we shouldn't define it as something separate and apart from Israel. The New Covenant is made with Israel and the Torah of God is part of the New Covenant as it is written on the heart. Let's confirm this in the Scriptures.

Hebrews 8:7-10 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the people and said: “The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

Hebrews 10:16-17 “This is the new covenant that I will make with Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

Israel will always be God's chosen people because the gifts and calling of God towards Israel are irrevocable.

Romans 11:28-29 Many of the people of Israel are now enemies of the Gospel, and this benefits you Gentiles. Yet the people of Israel are still the elect people of God who He loves because He chose their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

God has always been reaching out to the world through His chosen people, Israel.

Romans 10:21 But regarding Israel, God said, "All day long I opened my arms to them, but they were disobedient and rebellious."

Even Messiah Himself confirms His mission was to restore Israel.

Matthew 15:22-24 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.” But Jesus answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.” But Jesus answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

Everything in God's salvation plan is about God restoring Israel and using them to reach out to a the rest of the world with the message of salvation and holiness through Messiah.

John 4:22 Jesus said, "You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews."

Leviticus 19:2 “Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy."

1 Peter 1:15-16 "Just as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

"The Messianic kingdom"

Matthew 27:11 Jesus stood in front of the governor, Pilate. The governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “Yes, I am,” Jesus answered.

The Messianic kingdom, in the age to come, is all about Messiah as the King of Israel seated and ruling from the throne of His father, King David.

Luke 1:32-33 "He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.

Ezekiel 37:21-22 And give them this message from the Sovereign Lord: I will gather the people of Israel from among the nations. I will bring them home to their own land from the places where they have been scattered. I will unify them into one nation on the mountains of Israel. One king will rule them all; no longer will they be divided into two nations or into two kingdoms.

Micah 4:2 Many nations shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

"What about the Gentiles"

Where do the Gentiles fit into God's plan? Do we start a new work called the church with a new law and new holy days? No. The Gentiles, who were once not part of God's salvation plan and were strangers to the commonwealth of Israel and of God's covenants of promise can now be brought in through the shed blood of Messiah. Gentiles can now become part of God's chosen people and partake of the same promises and plan of salvation God offered to Israel.

Ephesians 2:11-13 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now, in Christ, you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Messiah.

All of Romans chapter 11 speaks of how the Gentiles are grafted into Israel as a wild olive branch is grafted into a natural Olive tree. The wild olive branch would partake of the nutrients (holiness) of the natural olive tree, not the other way around.

Romans 11:1-36 I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah how he appealed to God against Israel: “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”? And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but the others were hardened, as it is written: "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear, to this very day.” And David says: "May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them. May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.” Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous. But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring! I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? If the part of the dough offered as first fruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches. If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree! I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: "The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you. For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all. Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” “Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?” For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

According to Romans 11:11 salvation coming to the Gentiles was to provoke Israel to jealousy.

Romans 11:11 I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through Israel's fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.

When Israel saw Gentiles following their God and living the way God called Israel to live it was to make Israel jealous, and it worked. When the Jews saw Gentiles gathering on the Sabbath it provoked them to jealousy, just like God planned.

Acts 13:44-45 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy. They began to contradict what Paul was saying and heaped abuse on him.

Israel would never become jealous if they saw a bunch of Gentiles gathering on Sunday and following pagan holidays and customs.

Israel would never be grafted into the other nations and become as Gentiles. This is why a person of the Hebraic faith will never join today's church with all it's pagan holidays and beliefs because that would be against the God of Israel.

Deuteronomy 12:29-32 “When the Lord your God goes ahead of you and destroys the nations and you drive them out and live in their land, do not fall into the trap of following their customs and worshiping their gods. Do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations worship their gods? I want to follow their example.’ You must not worship the Lord your God the way the other nations worship their gods, for they perform for their gods every detestable act that the Lord hates."

"The call of redemption is going out to all people"

1 John 2:2 Jesus himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world.

God is calling people from all walks of life to be restored through Israel's Jewish Messiah and become His holy people. God wants a special holy people who will follow His ways. He wants a family to love and who will love Him and each other. This has always been the heart of God from the very beginning.

Matthew 22:35-40 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Exodus 19:5-6 And now, if you will diligently listen to me and keep my covenant, then you will be my special possession out of all the nations, for all the earth is mine, and you will be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you will speak to the Israelites.”

Leviticus 20:26 You are to be holy to me because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own.

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Isaiah 56:6-8 As for the Gentiles, the outsiders who join the people of the Lord and serve him and love his name, who are his servants and don’t desecrate the Sabbath, and have accepted his covenant and promises, I will bring them also to my holy mountain of Jerusalem and make them full of joy within my House of Prayer. I will accept their sacrifices and offerings, for my Temple shall be called “A House of Prayer for All People”! For the Lord God who brings back the outcasts of Israel says: I will bring others, too, besides my people Israel.

God is not turning Israel into Gentiles, but rather, He is turning Gentiles into His people along with Israel. It's always been about one God and one Law for all people, God just chose Israel to lead the way.

Exodus 12:49 One law shall be for the native-born and for the stranger who dwells among you.”

Numbers 15:16 This means that you must follow the same laws and the same rules. These laws and rules are for you Israelites and for the Gentiles who are living among you.”

There are not two sets of Laws for two different families of God. There is not one Law for Israel and a different Law for the church. The church's mission is not to invite Israel to turn away from God's Law to live like Gentiles. The church's mission is to obey the Laws of God through the grace and truth of Israel's Messiah and to invite Israel to do the same. In this, both Jew and Gentile as one become the Israel of God.

Galatians 6:15-16 It doesn’t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation. May God’s peace and mercy be upon all who live by this principle; they are the Israel of God.

"Conclusion"

So you see, there is nothing in Scripture that says God is doing a new work through an entity outside of Israel called, the church. God loves Israel and will continue to use Israel to reach the Gentiles and bring them into the family of God. When the Gentiles join the people of the Lord, through Messiah, they will live as God called Israel to live, which includes keeping the Sabbath holy along side Israel.

Isaiah 56:6-7 As for the Gentiles, the outsiders who join the people of the Lord and serve him and love his name, who are his servants and don’t desecrate the Sabbath, and have accepted his covenant and promises, I will bring them also to my holy mountain of Jerusalem and make them full of joy within my House of Prayer.

Let us look to the wisdom of the Scriptures found in the Torah and the Prophets to build the foundation to our faith and let us look to the life and teachings of Messiah to save us from our sin and guide us through Torah to learn God's true will for His people.

2 Timothy 3:14-17 But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you. You have been taught the holy Scriptures (OT) from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. All Scripture (OT) is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

The Holy Scriptures, that they were taught from their childhood, is the Old Testament. They teach what is true and make us realize what is wrong in our lives. They correct us when we are wrong and teach us what is right.

Messiah Himself tells us to obey the teachings that God gave through Moses to Israel.

Matthew 23: 1-3 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to His disciples, “The teachers of law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses. So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don’t follow their example. For they don’t practice what they teach.

As a result of the apostasy, supersessionism was birthed. This led to the abandonment of the Hebraic roots of the faith once deliver to the people and caused the persecution, torture and murder of millions of God's people.

For us, as Gentiles, Ephesians 2:11-13 should be one of the greatest verse in the Bible, because through Messiah, we all become on new man, the Israel of god.

Ephesians 2:11-13 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Jesus.

Today's Jesus is not Israel promised Messiah, he's an invention of the Catholic Church. This is why Israel reject Jesus because when you follow today's Jesus, you find yourself doing Christmas, Easter, Good Friday, Sunday as the Lord's day and many other practices that are rooted in Babylonian sun worship, which is all forbidden by God for His people.

A true Jews, who follows their true Messiah, should be inviting us Gentiles to join with them and follow the ways that God taught Israel, the church shouldn't be inviting Israel to turn their back on the teachings of the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob.

The real scary part of all this is when I enter a church today and share the true Messiah, they reject Him and basically throw me out of their church. That tells me that most of today's churches have not received God's true Messiah, the one He promised Israel.

Matthew 7:22-23 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

How many people today have a form of religion, but it has nothing to do with God? Will Messiah tell them, "I never knew you, you who practice lawlessness". You can change all that today, just start following Israel's true Messiah. Amen.
