The power of the Tallit and Tzitziot....the Greek translation they refer to the bottom of Jesus' garment that heal the woman with blood issue.

What is the hem of his garment (Matthew 9:20) all about? Why was the woman healed in touching the fringe or the edge of his garment? There is a mystery there...

My heart is broken, I mourn the dead of 5 police officers whom gave their lives in the call of duty, they were cowardly pinned down. Some children will be asking their parent, when is dad or mom coming home and the spouse would not have an answer. May Yahweh bless the families of the officers that were killed and wounded, may He have mercy on their murderers, whom without repentance will have eternal damnation. Heaven is receiving these heroes, while here on earth all we can do is be kinder to these public servants. Of course, I don't like it when I get a ticket like no one else, but they have been there when I need them, protecting us from the bad guys, keeping our neighborhood safe, keeping our children out of trouble. While most of us run in fear when there is a fire, explosion, or other danger....we run away, instead officers run to the danger to protect us (like in 9/11) and pay the ultimate price. As I am typing this, I can not stop crying, my heart is broken. I can not believe that this day has come to America. I pray that our spiritual leaders bring peace to our homeland, I pray that God........

BREXIT IMPACT IN THE US and BIBLICAL COINCIDENCE: Temporarily we will benefit from Brexit, If you own a home you will get better mortgages soon because old money from Britain will move here, outside of that the rest is mostly bad news, the US has lost its biggest allied at the EU table and chances are (based on the report below) that the biggest market in the world...the EU will soon be free to build stronger economic ties with Asia, Russia and China. Both the US and Britain will no longer have a sit at that table and can only look from the outside. This gives the US less power to influence the global economy and without it fewer opportunities for our companies, it will translate into fewer jobs and a weaker economy for US. THE PERFECT STORM: To make matters worst if the US chooses a protectionist president, the US and Britain will become isolated, protectionism will allow us to make more American made products for a brief period (1 -2 years), but in an protectionist world other countries will consume their own and wont buy ours, eventually we'll have to cut production and our GDP will be on a free fall, that is what happened in the last depression of early 1900's, Of course, I am not suggesting to vote for either candidate. I don't like politics, so I don't care about either party, my focus is on the heavenly kingdom, but for this message, I wanted to give you a projected analysis of what I see at hand and hope that I am wrong. BIBLICAL COINCIDENCE Interestingly, this November coming, marks the end of the year of Jubilee, which Christ proclaimed as part of his ministry in Luke 4:14-21 and explained in Leviticus 25. This is when the Lord blessess or judges people and nations. Do you think that America deserves..............

Paul’s misunderstood doctrine!

First and foremost, we need to clarify that Paul just like Jesus, Peter and the rest of the disciples followed the Torah*; but its importance and meaning has been perverted over time to meet a Greek culture, because it is more easily consumed by the nations instead of been interpreted according to the language and the culture on which Jesus conducted his ministry.

*e.g. Throughout his life Jesus attended the Synagogue on the Sabbath (Luke 4:16); He sent the l***r back to the priest to follow the Torah guidelines (Matthew 8:4)
• Luke 4:16 He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom.
• Matthew 8:4 Then Jesus said to him, "See that you don't tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

To clarify Paul’s’ misunderstood doctrine, I would like to share 3 points over my next 3 blogs:
(1) Case for the Torah; (2) Jesus Greek vs the Hebrew Yeshua; (3) Paul’s misunderstood statements

1. Case for the Torah….(this week’s blog)

Translations maliciously equate Torah with Law only, giving it a one sided connotation instead of its full meaning, which according to Webster-dictionary.org is divine instruction, revelation and the Law. In another words, the 5 books of Moses are meant to guide our lives into holy living and its laws will be written in our hearts (Jeremiah 31:31-33; Hebrews 10:15-18) as a fruit of the new covenant.
• Jeremiah 31: 31 "The time is coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them, "declares the LORD. 33 "This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
• Hebrews 10: 15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: 16 "This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds." 17 Then he adds: "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more." 18 And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin.

***Having the Torah written in our hearts *** is the new covenant that Jeremiah prophesies about and Jesus proclaims (Luke 22:15-19) during the Passover feast, during the night before his passion and while lifting the 3rd cup of redemption.

• Luke 22: 15 Then He said to them, "With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God." 17 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, "Take this and divide it among yourselves; 18 for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes." 19 And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

Furthermore, Jesus tells us very clearly how important is the Torah in Matthew 5:17-19. On this passage, Jesus is basically laying the foundation for the new covenant, which he revealed on its fullness as described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Here is what Jesus said:
• "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law (Torah) or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law (Torah) till all is fulfilled.

So I ask you…..Has this heaven and this earth passed away? Of course not, so clearly everything that is in the Torah and the prophets still relevant today and needs to be studied so that we can understand the New Testament from Jesus’ perspective.

So, what did Jesus fulfilled during his first coming?
Keeping in mind that Paul claims that salvation came to the Jews first and then to the gentiles, likewise, he calls the Jews the Oracles of God in Romans 3. Therefore, the Jews have been given the answer to our question.

What did Jesus fulfill during his time on earth? Well, the Jews observe 7 feasts separated between spring and fall celebrations, and these celebrations are intimately tied in to Jesus first coming ministry, as well as, his second coming.

First coming:
1. Passover: Jewish priest sacrificed the lamb and Jesus was sacrificed as the Lamb of God.
2. Unleavened bread: Jews remove leaven (represents sin) from their homes and Jesus removed our sins.
3. First Fruits: Jews offer the first fruits of their labor and Jesus arose as the first fruit of salvation.
4. Pentecost: Jews commemorate receiving the Torah and 10 commandments and on this Jewish holiday 3,000 Jews received the Holy Spirit, which today we know it as the day of Pentecost.

I will be curious to study and decipher with others what the Torah and Prophets contain in relation to Jesus’ second coming, which would be revealed in the……
Fall feasts:
1. Yom Teruah (Jacob’s trouble begins)
2. Yom Kippur (Israel calls for Messiah)
3. Feast of Tabernacles (Observed in the millennial kingdom).

As you can see, God and Jesus have used the Jewish people as Oracles to help us better understand their ministry and timetable, as well as, hidden in the Torah and the prophets are the answers to many of the arguments that New Testament (only) Christians have, which creates divisions.

Understanding the Torah has a deeper meaning in our lives, since it is written in our hearts, we would immediately recognize right from wrong; even when confronted by a new situation, the Holy Spirit will show us the correct choice to make.

This has held true, in the life of my wife of 33 years and me during our tenure as Elders in a Pentecostal church, we felt compelled to observe the Sabbath, without understanding why. Although we discussed this with our Sr. Pastor several times and agreed to disagreed, we kept it hidden from the congregation out of respect for his authority, as well as, we did not fully understand the Torah until later in 2013, while visiting a Messianic congregation in Lynwood we were taught the details about the Sabbath.

This is just one of many more examples, where my wife and I have been guided by the Holy Spirit to act in a certain way, later to find out that a specific Law is written in the Torah.

The point today is simple; we can find tons of scripture that can prove both sides of any intellectual discussion, but until we let the Holy Spirit guide our spiritual ears, only then we will hear from heaven and better understand God’s Torah, as well as, the rest of the bible.

Learning the Torah teaches us about the Character of God and Jesus, we learn about every connection between the old and new testament, we can interpret what the disciples mean in the New Testament.

Otherwise, Jesus is clear about those whose hearts have grown dull and are not ready to have God write his Laws (Torah) on their hearts:
• Matthew 13: 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: 'Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; 15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.' 16 "But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;

What if New Testament experts start studying the Torah from a Hebrew perspective? I will cover the comparison between the Greek Jesus vs the Hebrew Jesus in my next blog to highlight the importance of understanding Jesus' culture, language, and traditions; these have a direct correlation for how we should interpret the bible and perceive its full meaning.

My wife and I, cordially invite you to write your comments, as well as, your corrections since we are new to this “full gospel” walk.

For now, it will be nice to hear from our readers about the connection points between the Torah and the Prophets with the New Testament.

Thank you kindly,

Peter’s legacy
On Matthew 16:13-20, we get a glimpse of what the basic principles for the church to come will be as Peter gets revelation from the Holy Spirit about Jesus’ ministry. Let’s not forget that Phillip is part of the first disciples (John 1:35-42) whom recognizes Jesus as the Messiah (John 1:44-45) Phillip said: “we have found the one Moses wrote about in the Torah¹, and about whom the prophets also wrote – Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph (Not natural but legal father and a foreshadow of Joseph of Egypt here on earth, the father of Manasseh and Ephraim AKA the 10 lost tribes of Israel); later Nathaniel says (John 1:49) “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel” Isaiah 11:1-5.
So, why do we mistakenly credit Peter with been the first that got such revelation?
On Matthew 16:13-20, Peter receives revelation through the Holy Spirit from Yahweh, concerning the true foundation of the Gospel, which becomes the “Rock” on which the first Hebrew-Christian congregation AKA church² is built upon. Jesus changed Simon’s name to Peter, which in Greek is “Petros” AKA “Pebble” and the word for rock is different, it is “Petra”; so it is not making reference to the individual Peter, it is making reference to Peter’s inspiration of faith, when he said “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God”.
Let us also remember that, Peter’s ministry initially was to preach to the Jews and he became the foundational “Petros” AKA “Pebble” the Hebrew-Christian congregation of his day, this included ministering to the 3,000 Jews that came on Pentecost day, one of the high Jewish holidays of the Lord when they celebrated the receiving of the 10 commandments verbally from Yahweh, as customary, all these pilgrims would have consecrated themselves before entering the temple through “Mikvah” AKA “Water Baptism”, since they would not have entered the temple unclean after they journeyed from their distant homes.
Later, we see that Yahweh gives Peter revelation in a dream to minister to the Gentiles, and during his visit to Cornelius house, he witnesses how the Holy Spirit descended upon Cornelius and every one on his household after their “Mikvah” AKA “water baptism”. This work with the gentile is then expanded by Paul, and his main focus becomes preaching to the nations AKA gentiles, while Peter and the other disciples continue to focus the sharing of the Gospel among the Jewish congregations, as well as, supporting Pau’s efforts of preaching to the gentiles.
Therefore, we see two streams that the Gospel follows with two man leading them, Peter and other disciples³ (James, Jude, etc.) ministering to the Israel nation in Judea (Judah and Benjamin tribes) and Samaria (10 lost tribes of Israel), while Paul and others (Barnabas, Mark, Luke) focused on preaching to the nations AKA gentiles.
Why is this distinction important, it is because in today’s society there is only one Christian congregation that continues the work in the way and matter that Peter ministered to the church of his day, such congregation would follow “the way” according to Peter’s instructions, which includes following all the commandments of God, and can only think of one congregation that fits this description today and those are the Hebrew-Christian churches of today.
