The 1 Resurrection
1st Resurrection
The first is a Spiritual resurrection that is tied to Water Baptism, berring the Old man and wake in the newness of Christ/ Yahushua. The Spiritual awaken aka The Rapture that is Christ Spiritual awakening of all the houses of Israel the valley of dry bone.
Ezekiel
Chapter 37
1. The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which wasfull of bones,
2. And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
3.And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
4.Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
5.Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
6.And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
7.So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8.And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
9.Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Yahweh; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
10.So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11.Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12.Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith Yahweh; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13.And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14.And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
15.The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
16.Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17.And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
18.And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
19.Say unto them, Thus saith Yahweh; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
20.And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
21.And say unto them, Thus saith the Yahweh; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22.And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
23.Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their Elohim.
24.And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25.And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince forever.
26.Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27.My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their Elohim, and they shall be my people.
28.And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Many are awaken but only a few will follow him according to the scriptures, the ones that follows him according to the scriptures will be Priests that will rule with him in His Kingdom/ Israel. And second death have no hold of them because, they walked steadfast with Him and in Him to the end. But for the backslider it was better they had never known the True. Yahushua did not come to the whole world but he came for the world. He came to the last sheep of Israel and through Israel the whole world shall be save by Him blest who bless Israel and curse who curse Israel. He came to Israel and Israel to the whole world. Yahushua never preached to the Gentiles, he send Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles. A gain in Revelation 1:8-20 He made it clear that He did not come to the Gentiles. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
9.I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Yahushua, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of Yahweh, and for the testimony of Yahushua.
10.I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11.Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12.And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13.And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14.His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15.And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16.And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17.And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18.I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
19.Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
20.The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
Paul to the Seven Gentile Church with is a mixture of Israelite and Gentiles
Romans 16:1-24,1 Corinthians 16:10-12, 2 Corinthians 8:6, Galatians 2:3, Ephesians 6:21, Phillippians 4:2-3, Colossians 4:1-18.
Now that the Truth has come to the Gentiles they thought that they can just cast of Israel and worship Yahweh on their own not knowing that Israel is the head.
This day Yahushua has come back in the Spirit for His Bride, His Church/Israel, Israel call it Spiritual awakening/First Resurrection, the Gentiles call it Rapture.
When Yahushua was on earth in the flash there was two Kingdom the Gentiles and the Heavenly Kingdom because He brought it down with Him.
Luke 22:25-32, And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
26.But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
27.For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
28.Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
29.And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
30.That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31.And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
32.But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
Matthew 23:13. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
The Resurrection and baptism
The resurrection has always been the pivot point of the Gospel. The teaching of the resurrection was relentlessly the main thrust of the message that the apostles proclaimed to the world. The Apostle Paul tells us without the resurrection, we are still dead in our sins. It was Christ’s resurrection from the dead that was His ultimate triumph over Satan. The resurrection of Yahushua proves that Yahushua is the Son of Yahweh and that He has the power to save us from our sins. The teaching of the resurrection was what always got people into trouble with those who opposed them. The resurrection was the “flash point.”
Acts 4:1-3
The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people. They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people and proclaiming in Yahushua the resurrection of the dead. They seized Peter and John, and because it was evening, they put them in jail until the next day.
Acts 4:33
With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Yahushua, and much grace was upon them all.
Acts 17:18
A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to dispute with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others remarked, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was preaching the good news about Yahushua and the resurrection.
Acts 17:32
When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some of them sneered, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this subject.”
Acts 23:6
Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “My brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. I stand on trial because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead.”
It is no wonder that the resurrection is such an important component of the Good news. It is by the resurrection that Yahweh has proven to the world that Yahushua is indeed the prophesied Redeemer. The resurrection is the ultimate miracle.
Romans 1:1-4
Paul, a servant of Yahushua, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of Yahweh—the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of Yahwwe by his resurrection from the dead: Yahushua our Messiah.
Acts 17:30-31
In the past Yahweh overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day in this day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead.”
So what does the resurrection have to do with baptism? Let’s look at what the apostles Peter and Paul taught:
1 Peter 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1 Peter 3:21
and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also--not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward Yahweh. It saves you by the resurrection of Yahushua,
Peter ties together three things in these verses:
1.) New birth (See John 3:1-5)
2.) Baptism
3.) The resurrection of Yahushua
Peter tells us that baptism saves us by the resurrection of Yahushua and baptism is a new birth. This is in perfect harmony with the rest of the scriptures. Paul explains how the resurrection and baptism tie together:
Romans 6:3-5
Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Yahushua were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection.
One cannot teach baptism correctly without teaching that Yahushua rose from the dead. It is through baptism that we become united with Christ in His death and consequently also in his resurrection.
To reject baptism, is to personally reject the resurrection of Yahushua. And to reject the resurrection of Yahushua is to reject Him as the Son of Yahweh.
Therefore, if we deny baptism, we deny Christ from raising us from death.
Yahweh is our Elohim
Yahushua is our Messiah

10 Commandments in the New testament
10 Commandments in the New Testament
Is there any evidence in the New Testament before or after the cross that even one of the Ten Commandments was abolished? The most commonly attacked Commandment is one that defines it is Yahweh we love and worship and yet we find Paul keeping the Sabbath day, as his custom was since childhood, in a Jewish Synagogue. A custom is something you do religiously and without failure. What was Paul's CUSTOM and EXAMPLE while establishing the early Christian Church? Notice in the following verse that this is a Jewish synagogue and that Jews have all through history, without change, worshipped on Saturday as they still do today. Acts 17:1-2. The Jews and Pharisees which Paul was since CHILDHOOD, have ALWAYS kept Saturday as the Sabbath. Acts 26:4-5. This is proof conclusive of Saturday Sabbath keeping AFTER the cross. It was not only Paul's custom and example but that of Yahushua also and He is our perfect example. Luke 4:16.
Most Christians seem to think that everything starts fresh in the New Testament but this could not be further from the truth. Just because the Translators divided the Bible into two books called the Old and New Testaments does not mean everything starts again. Absolutely everything from the Old Testament continues into the New Testament as if it was just one book not divided, and the only changes between the Old and the New Testaments are what we are specifically told has changed. And so you also do not establish if one of the Ten Commandments still exists in the New Testament by looking for it being repeated. To the contrary, you have to look to see if there is an unmistakable instruction that says a Commandment is gone or changed and if scripture is silent then it still exists. Yahweh does not work on assumptions and especially on something as important as His Moral law such as His Sabbath. If a Commandment of Yahweh was changed then the Bible would be SCREAMING the change at us.
In any case, the following New Testament scriptures listed after each of the Ten Commandments, confirm either explicitly or by example, that Yahushua and the apostles viewed all the Ten Commandments as a necessary part of Christian living. You can also use the table further below if you prefer an easier way to compare the Old and the New Testaments using just a one scripture example. Note also that all the Ten Commandments, which of course includes the Sabbath, can be found in the New Testament after the cross.

The Ten Commandments in the New Testament Comparison Table
Comparison table of the Ten Commandments as found in the Old Testament and the Ten Commandments in the New Testament giving just one of the many examples that could be given as seen above. Note also James 2:10, “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” God inspired James to write that EVERY point of the law is essential. Not only do we find all Ten Commandments in the New Testament but we also find all the Ten Commandments covered in this one verse without quoting them individually, because according to the book of James, if someone breaks any one of them, he is guilty of breaking them all.
Ten Commandments in the Old Testament
Ten Commandments in the New Testament
1. “You shall have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3
1. “You shall worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” Matthew 4:10
2. “You shall not make unto you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: You shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Yahweh your Elohim am a jealous Elohim, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my Commandments.” Exodus 20:4-6
2. “Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.” 1 Corinthians 10:14
3. “You shall not take the name of the Yahweh your Elohim in vain; for the Yahweh will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” Exodus 20:7
3. “That the name of Yahweh and his doctrine be not blasphemed.” 1 Timothy 6:1
4. “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shall you labour, and do all your work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Yahweh your Elohim: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates: For in six days the Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Yahweh blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:8-11
4. “For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day as follows: On the seventh day Yahweh rested from all his works, There remains, therefore, a Sabbath rest for the people of Yahweh. For the one who enters Yahweh's rest has himself rested from his own works, just as Yahweh did from his.” ISV Hebrews 4:4, 9-10. See solid New Testament basis for Sabbath Keeping below.
You rest from your servile work and do the work of Yahweh as Yahushua and the prophets did an the Sabbath Day.
5. “Honour your father and your mother: that your days may be long upon the land which the Yahweh your Elohim giveth you.” Exodus 20:12
5. “Honour your father and your mother.” Matthew 19:19
6. “You shall not kill.” Exodus 20:13
6. “You shall not kill.” Romans 13:9
7. “You shall not commit adultery.” Exodus 20:14
7. “You shall not commit adultery.” Matthew 19:18
8. “You shall not steal.” Exodus 20:15
8. “You shall not steal.” Romans 13:9
9. “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.” Exodus 20:16
9. “You shall not bear false witness.” Romans 13:9
10. “You shall not covet your neighbour's house, you shall not covet your neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is your neighbour's.” Exodus 20:17
10. “You shall not covet.” Romans 7:7
So is the evidence conclusive that all Ten Commandments still stand or does the Bible indicate that we can now live in wilful deliberate sin? We are indeed saved by the Grace of God through faith in Christ, but is this a license to continue in sin? Did Yahushua die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin or so we could go on living in sin? What does the only source of truth that we can fully trust have to say on this very important topic that nailed our loving Saviour to the cross? The above scriptures should leave no doubt as to the answers to these questions, but just for extra clarity, here are the answers put simply and again by scripture alone while covering the main areas of confusion and deception.
First we need to know what the Bible definition of sin is. 1 John 3:4. So where there is sin, there has to be a law. Romans 4:15. If there is no law then there can be no sin and if there is no sin then there is no need for a Saviour.
Did Paul say we can sin now that we are under Grace which would therefore prove the law was abolished? Romans 6:1-2, Romans 6:14-15.
Paul demonstrated in Galatians chapters 2, 3 and 4 and Romans 3 that no flesh is justified by the law and that righteousness comes by FAITH. Does this therefore mean that the Ten Commandments are now made null and void because of FAITH? Romans 3:31. So who is justified before God? Romans 2:13.
Did Yahushua say he came to do away with the law? Matthew 5:17. Did Jesus say He was going to change the law by even so much as a single letter? Matthew 5:18, Luke 16:17. Did Yahushua say we have to teach the law as well as obey it? Matthew 5:19.
Does Yahushua say that those who practise lawlessness, i.e., break the Ten Commandments will enter the kingdom? Matthew 7:21-23, 1 John 2:4. So what does Yahushua say that one has to do to inherit eternal life? Matthew 19:16-19.
Can we keep just nine of the Ten Commandments and are we judged by obedience to the law? James 2:10-12, Matthew 5:18, Luke 16:17.
So what are the consequences for wilful sin, i.e., wilfully disobeying even ONE of the Ten Commandments? Hebrews 10:26-29, Ephesians 5:3, 5.
What are the blessings for not living in wilful sin, i.e., obeying the Ten Commandments in loving obedience? Revelation 22:14.
The answers are indisputable and any other arguments would be in total contradiction to the words of Yahushua, Paul and James just to name a few. I think Solomon summed it up well with his final conclusion in Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.
The Ten Commandments in the New Testament – Yahushua versus Paul
In the table below we have a comparison of the last six of the Ten Commandments in the New Testament related to loving your neighbour as yourself as quoted by Yahushua and Paul. They both quote five out of the last six Commandments with Yahushua not mentioning the tenth Commandment on coveting while Paul did. And Paul on the other hand did not mention the fifth Commandment on honouring your Mother and Father while Yahushua did. Yahushua and Paul have covered all of the last six Commandments related to loving your neighbour. So you will note that what Paul had to say on the Commandments 30 years after the cross was basically no different to Yahushua Matthew 19:16-19 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17 And he said unto him, Why callest you me good? There is none good but one, that is, Yahweh: but if you will enter into life, keep the commandments. 18 He saith unto him, Which? Yahushua said, You shall do no murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, 19 Honour your father and your mother: and, You shall love your neighbour as thyself.
Romans 13:8-10 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another has fulfilled the law. 9 For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, You shall love your neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Notice how both Yahushua and Paul say that loving your neighbour as yourself is obeying the last six Commandments which are related to loving your fellow man. Note also that Paul further clarifies this fact by saying “and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, You shall love your neighbour as thyself.” Loving your neighbour as yourself is just a saying and a way of briefly summing up the last six Commandments and in no way abolishes any of them. Remember that Yahushua and Paul are also both quoting the Old Testament. See Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18. Note also that Deuteronomy 6:5 summed up all the Ten Commandments as this verse is quoted 17 verses after the second reading of the Ten Commandments! See also what are the two greatest Commandments.
New Testament Sabbath Keeping Proof
We have already seen that Paul and the Apostles undoubtedly kept the Seventh Day Sabbath but some ask is there any specific reference to keeping the Sabbath after the cross, and the answer is yes. Here are just a couple. In reference to the future destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, Yahushua states in Matthew 24:20, “And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.” Why would Yahushua say pray that you don't have to flee on the Sabbath if we are not keeping it anymore? There is no way Yahushua would say this unless the Sabbath was still going to be kept subsequent to His death. This is solid proof of Sabbath keeping after the cross on its own. The gospel of Luke states in Luke 23:56 that when the body of Christ was being prepared by His followers, “they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the Commandment.” Note that Luke wrote this 30-50 years after the cross. The New Covenant was sealed and set in place by the blood of Yahushua when He died on the cross that Friday afternoon. Yet Luke says they are still physically keeping the Sabbath according to the Commandment after the New Covenant had begun. Galatians 3:15 states that no man can ADD to it or TAKE away from it. Any lawyer will tell you that the will and testament of a person CANNOT be changed after the death of a testator and Hebrews 9:16-17 states that the New Covenant is NOT in force until the death of the testator being Yahushua in this case. Luke of course would also never make a statement like this without telling us of a change on something as important as the Ten Commandments. This would have been the perfect opportunity for Luke to say something but he still states they kept it “according to the Commandment,” and after the New Covenant begun.
While an extremely clear directive is given for Sabbath keeping in Exodus 20:8-11 and Deuteronomy 5:12-15, the next closest passage to a command for Sabbath-keeping in the New Testament is found in Hebrews 4:9. In this verse we find the Greek word “sabbatismos”. The King James and New King James Version and a few other Bibles render the word as “rest” while the Amplified Bible the ASV, NASB, NIV, RSV and NRSV and several other translations somewhat more correctly render that word as “Sabbath rest”. A few Bibles such as the Darby translation transliterate the word as “Sabbatism”. Its literal translation however, is “Sabbath observance” and “The Scriptures” translated by The Institute for Scripture Research render it as such while the Thayer dictionary and the Bible in Basic English give the equally literal phrase “Sabbath keeping”. So how does the excuse “the Sabbath is now just resting in Yahushua” constitute “Sabbath observance” or “Sabbath keeping” as some claim? And why would you have to be concerned with physically fleeing persecution on the Sabbath day as Yahushua stated when the temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. (Matthew 24:20) if the Sabbath was just resting in Yahushua? Those who are deceived or against the Ten Commandment law of Yahweh had to justify this passage somehow and I guess that was the best explanation they could come up with.
Here are just a few points that prove the Sabbath remains a physically rest.
1. The Greek word for rest in Hebrews 4:9 indisputably refers to a PHYSICAL rest as we have just seen.
2. When the body of Christ was being prepared, Luke says “they rested the Sabbath day according to the Commandment.” (Luke 23:56) The New Covenant began Friday when Yahushua died on the cross and yet Luke says they are still physically keeping the Sabbath according to the Commandment. Luke wrote this 30-50 years after the cross. See also is the Sabbath in the New Covenant.
3. Isaiah 66:22-23 proves we PHYSICALLY keep the Sabbath in the New Heaven and Earth.
4. The words of Yahushua show that everyone was still PHYSICALLY keeping the Sabbath in 70 A.D. (Matthew 24:20)
5. The Sabbath cannot be a spiritual rest if one had to worry about PHYSICALLY fleeing on this day.
6. Our Creator Yahweh knew we needed a PHYSICAL rest at least one day a week and knowing Yahushua does not change that requirement.
7. God and His law changes not. Hebrews 13:8, Psalms 111:7-8, Luke 16:17. See also the Ten Commandments and Yahweh's Character.
In regard to taking “Sabbatismos” literally, Professor Andrew T. Lincoln, on page 213 in his symposium From Sabbath To The Lord's Day states, “The use of sabbatismos elsewhere in extant Greek literature gives an indication of its more exact shade of meaning. It is used in Plutarch, De Superstitione 3 (Moralia166A) of Sabbath observance. There are also four occurrences in post canonical literature that are independent of Hebrews 4:9. They are Justin, Dialogue with Trypho 23:3; Epiphanius, Adversus Haereses 30:2:2; Martyrium Petri et Pauli 1; Apostolic Constitutions 2:36:2. In each of these places the term denotes the observance or celebration of the Sabbath. This usage corresponds to the Septuagint usage of the cognate verb sabbatizo (cf. Exodus 16:30; Leviticus. 23:32; 26:34; 2 Chronicles. 36:21). Thus the writer to the Hebrews is saying that since the time of Joshua an observance of the Sabbath rest has been outstanding.” The literal translation then of Hebrews 4:9 is, “Therefore a Sabbath observance has been left behind for the people of Yahweh.” The internal evidence of the preceding verses would also indicate that the Sabbath observance mentioned in this verse has to be the Seventh day Sabbath and not Sunday, which did not take on the name the Lord's Day until the fourth century. In verse 8, the author of Hebrews states, “For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not afterward have spoken of another day.” On first glance in our English translations, the word “another” might give the appearance of a different day. However, in the Greek, there are two words for “another”. “Heteros” means “another of a different kind”, while “allos” means “another of the same kind”. The word used in Hebrews 4:8 is “allos”, indicating a Sabbath day of the same kind as referred to in Hebrews 4:5-8, that is, the seventh-day Sabbath. In verse 7, the author of Hebrews uses the term “certain day”. The Greek word for “certain” is “tis”. It is undoubtedly referencing a specific day and not the general thought of an eternal rest. The force of Hebrews 3:11-4:11 then must be saying that because Christians look toward the eternal rest of heaven, the type or shadow of the earthly Sabbath rest still remains or is “left behind”, literally for Christians to observe. This is very significant in light of the greater context of the book of Hebrews which deals with the entire Aaronic priesthood and its methods of worship as found in the Old Covenant being supplanted by the Melchizedek priesthood of Yahushua. As the author states in Hebrews 12:27, “And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things which have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.”
A Day Equal One Year
A day equal one year
The fact that a day can signify a year is of crucial importance in the study of the bible numbers.
Bible Numbers: A day can equal a year:
The following are examples of a day representing a year in the bible
1) "A day for each year" in the account of the ten spies returning with a bad report to Moses about the Promised Land after spying it out for 40 days:
"And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness. After the number of the days in which you searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years..." (Numbers 14:33,34a)
2) Ezekiel is told to lie on his side 390 plus 40 days --- "a day for each year"
"Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity. For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year" (Ezekiel 4:4-6).
3) The Law of Moses commands that the 7th day be a day of rest, and that likewise the 7th year be a year of rest, (Ex. 20:8-11; 23:10-11). This lays a pattern for the very important prophecy of Daniel's seventy weeks.
4) Daniel's vision of the " seventy weeks" (490 days)
"Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city ... from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks ... And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease..." (Daniel 9:24-27)
The "week" referred to here represents (primarily) a symbolic seven-year period. Thus once again, one day is made to signify one year. Here is why Daniel's "week" denotes seven years:
a) This vision (of ch. 9) came to Daniel upon his understanding that the 70 years of Israelite exile (as prophesied by Jeremiah) had just elapsed:
"In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem" (Daniel 9:2).
It is reasonable to deduce that since the occasion for Daniel's vision was his understanding of the 70 years of Jeremiah, and that since the vision to Daniel concerned a like number of 70 weeks, therefore 70 weeks can equal 70 (x 7) years. Nevertheless, Daniel's "week" as a literal 7-day-period is also a valid interpretation. Both days and years weave together.
b) Seventy literal weeks would not be enough time to accomplish all the things mentioned as having to transpire within the scope of Daniel's "seventy-weeks" vision. For this reason, most evangelical scholars view the seventy weeks of Daniel as symbolic years.
c) The Hebrew term for "weeks" is actually the plural of the word for "seven," without specifying whether it is days, months, or years; (see Walvoord "Daniel: The Key to Prophetic Revelation", p. 219).
d) Daniel's "seven-weeks" (49 days) can be understood symbolically as 49 years because of it's similarity with the seven weeks (49 days) till Pentecost; and the seven weeks of Pentecost follows the patters of the seven-times-seven years (49 years) of the Jubilee, (Deut. 16:9, Lev. 25:8).
e) The "dividing" of the last "week" of the 70 "weeks" is further explained in Daniel 12:9, where the 1290 days is mentioned. One-half ("dividing") of "one week" (i.e., of 7 years) amounts to this 1290 days; (i.e., 3.5 x 360 = 1260 days, + leap month = 1290 days). Hence, one "week" must symbolize years in order for half-a-week to total 1290 days (instead of a literal 3½ days).
A fuller treatment of the 1290 shall be explained elsewhere, but for now please note the following:
i) The 390 + 40 = 430 days/years of Ezekiel (mentioned earlier) are exactly one-third of 1290, (cf., Ezekiel 4:4-8, 5:2. I.e., 430 days x 3 = 1290 days).
ii) The time from when Ezekiel was told to lay on his side 430 days symbolizing the siege of Jerusalem (593 BC), until the end of the literal siege of Jerusalem (586 BC), are 7 full years, or 3½ + 3½ years.
iii) The total siege-length of Ezekiel's symbolic siege of 390 (+ 40) days, plus the 945 days of the literal siege, amounts to 1335 days---the same figure found coupled with the 1290 days in Daniel 12:9.
iv) The fact that there are 1290 years from the entry into Egypt (1876 BC, which lasted 430 years until the exodus, 1446 BC), until the exile back again into Egypt (and Babylon) at the fall of Jerusalem (586 BC), is proof that 1290 days are intended to be years as well.
v.) See www.360calendar.com for more.
Bible Numbers: A day can equal a 1000 years:
1) The Apostle Peter says that, "one day … is as a thousand years".
"But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day..." (2Peter 3:8,10).
{Compare this in context also with Revelation 20:2-7.}
Peter seems to be quoting Moses in the book of Psalms.
"Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations...You turn men back to dust, saying, "Return to dust, O sons of men." For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night." (Psalm 90:1,3,4)
2) In Genesis 2:17, it says: "In the day you eat of the fruit of this tree you shall surely die." It is no coincidence that those who lived before the Flood died just short of 1000 years of age. Thus figuratively speaking, Adam, and all his offspring before the flood, died within a "day"---that is, within a thousand years.
John the Baptist is the end of a laws and Prophets.
Matthew 11:10-15, For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
15 He that hath ears to hear let him hear.
Yahushua is the end of all things carnal
Romans 8:6-8.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against Yahweh: for it is not subject to the law of Yahweh, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please Yahweh
Romans 6:21
What fruit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? The outcome of those things is death.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of Yahweh is eternal life in Yahushua our Messiah.
Romans 8:13
For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Romans 8:27
And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of Yahweh.
Galatians 6:8
The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
We are Spiritual being Israel and Israel are a witness to Yahushua, who must testify in the appointed time now. John the Baptist: And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
We are Spiritual being so Yahweh and Yahusua are dealing with us spiritually not carnally. We are still in the last days, Yahushua and John the Baptist born six months apart, started their ministries six month apart, both ministries lasted for 3-1/2 years, both died in their 30s six month apart, so both are in the Spirit dealing with us Spiritual they are finishing up their ministries in the Spirit to a Spiritual generation.
And we Israel and the Holy Bible are witnesses.
The 3rd Temple
New Yahrusalem Temple is not of man
A Third Rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem Is Not Biblical, the seed of Devil through Cain is building there first Temple to worship Satan their father.
This End Times Deceptions Bible study will show that there is no Scriptural need for a rebuilt 3rd temple in Jerusalem.
Prophecy teachers refer to these passages to justify their explanation of a future 3rd temple in Jerusalem.
And since these deceptions are from the enemy, they create events in Israel to make it seem like they are going to build a 3rd temple, and they very well might.
But the Bible passages that these teachers are referring to have nothing to do with the end times or a third temple in Jerusalem.
Daniel 9
Futurists claim that Daniel 9:26-27 foretells an end times antichrist who will make a 7-year peace treaty with Israel, the 70th week of Daniel.
The peace agreement would supposedly allow the temple sacrifices to take place. And after 3 1/2 years, the antichrist will supposedly desecrate the temple, to start 3 1/2 years of Great Tribulation.
But the 70th week of Daniel was fulfilled on time, after the 69th week. Go figure!
The ‘covenant‘ is not an end times peace agreement with the modern state of Israel, it is Yahushua"s Everlasting New Covenant, which was offered to the Jews first, for seven years. Here is a Bible study that proves that it was Yahushua New Covenant.
And the “people of the prince” is not referring to an end times antichrist, but it was fulfilled by Roman Prince Titus, who desolated Jerusalem and the temple and the Jews, in 70 A.D
Here is a Bible study that proves that it was Prince Titus.
The 70 weeks of Daniel prophecy only speaks about the rebuilding of the second temple, and never speaks about a third temple.
It speaks about the coming Messiah, and never speaks about an end times antichrist.
It gives a 70 week time frame and never speaks about a 1,987+ year time gap in between the 69th and 70th week.
Inserting those things into the prophecy is an abuse of Scripture, as they are out of context with God’s Word.
The concept of a futuristic 70th week of Daniel and one-man antichrist is the Judahio-Christian church; as they sought to deflect blame about from the Roman Catholic Church as the Antichrist beast of Revelation, the Little Horn of Daniel, and the office of the Papacy, the Son of Perdition.
2 Thessalonians 2
Futurists claim that in 2 Thessalonians 2 Paul is speaking about an end times antichrist who will sit in the temple in Jerusalem and proclaim to be Yahweh.
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called Yahweh or that is worshiped, so that he sits as Yahweh in the temple of Yahweh, showing himself that he is Yahweh.”
So what does Paul mean?
Keep in mind that when the Apostle Paul wrote 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, the Jews temple was still standing, as it wasn’t destroyed by the Romans until 70 A.D., so any reference to a physical temple would have been to that temple, not an end times temple.
To understand that, let’s look at how Yahushua defined the word “temple.”
In John 2:14, Yahushua spoke of the physical temple. The Greek word for the physical temple is hieron.
“And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business.”
Then just five verses later in John 2:19-20, Yahushua spoke of the spiritual temple. The Greek word for the spiritual temple is naos.
“Yahsuhua answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” But He was speaking of the temple of His body.”
Whenever Paul used the word naos, he applied it to followers of Yahusua, the Israel / Church, which is a literal temple, but not a physical building.
Paul is saying that the Son of Perdition would sit in the temple of God, that is, in the midst of the Christian church.
Instead of being an infidel who doesn’t believe in God, like so many pastors teach, the Antichrist does not reign outside of the Church, but in the very bosom of the Church.
Paul places the Son of Perdition nowhere else than in the very sanctuary of Yahweh.
The Pope sits (assumes a position of authority) as Yahweh in the temple of Yahweh, proclaiming to be the leader of all Christians.
The Pope is called the ‘Vicar of Christ’ which means ‘substitute for Christ.’
He proclaims to forgive sins.
He proclaims that salvation is only available through the Roman Catholic Church.
He preaches a message of ‘salvation by works’, instead of through the blood of Yahushua.
Here is a Bible study that proves the meaning of the temple in 2 Thessalonians 2.
Revelation 11
Futurists claim that John is speaking about a physical temple, when he says to measure the temple, and to designate the gentiles into the outer court.
“Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the temple (naos) of Yahweh, the altar, and those who worship there.” Revelation 11:1
The ‘reed like a measuring rod’ is the Word of Yahweh, the Little Book of Revelation 10.
The Greek for reed or rod is “kanon” = canon of Holy Scriptures. Kanon is also translated as rule, or measuring rod.
Ezekiel 40
The temple that Ezekiel envisioned has been fulfilled in the true temple of Yahweh, one that is not made with human hands.
“Yahweh, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.” Acts 17:24
Paul told us that we are the temple of Yahweh.
“Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of Yahweh, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Yahushua our Messiah Himself being the chief corner stone, in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Yahweh, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of Yahweh in the Spirit.” Ephesians 2:19-22
“Do you not know that you are the temple of Yahweh and that the Spirit of Yahweh dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of Yahweh is holy, which temple you are.” 1 Corinthians 3:17
“And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living Yahweh. As Yahweh has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them.I will be their Yahweh,And they shall be My people.” 2 Corinthians 6:16
John drives the point home when Yahusua proclaims that people who overcome will be a pillar in the temple of God.
“He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My Elohim, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My Elohim and the name of the city of My Elohom, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My Elohim. And I will write on him My new name.” Revelation 3:12
An end times rebuilt Jewish temple with bloody sacrifices would be blasphemous.
Yahushua is our High Priest whose blood atoned for all of our sins by His sacrifice.
If they ever do rebuild a temple in Jerusalem and restart bloody sacrifices, it will be a denial of Yahushua sacrifice and a blasphemy to Yahweh.
Such a temple could never be called “the temple of Yahweh.”

The Antichrist your adversary the (Devil) that seek to change Laws and time through his angels of darkness that transform themselves into angels of light to deceive you. How can you tell who the antichrists are, they will come to you with the Bible in the name of Jesus but their teaching and doctrines are contrary to the Bible? Yahweh did not give us religion He gives Laws, Statutes and Commandments. Religion is the peaching, teaching, doctrines of man that causes division and strife that benefit them. (Vatican, Judaism, Islam, Judio-Christinty). Can you even count how many different denominations of Christianity there are, is CHRIST divided?
The antichrist seeks to change Laws and time, but they cannot change the signs of time. They want to tell you that Jacob’s troubles have not started yet, but for the true Israelites Jacob’s troubles started from our Babylonian exile. The signs of time and the scriptures are pointing to the deliverance of the true Israelites, the four hundred (400) years of captivity is about to end soon, the children of Israel will soon be awaken through the Spirit and return but to their Laws Statutes and Commandments. Know who the true Israelites are then you will know where you are in prophetic time, because the prophesy are around them. Not the replacement people the Sephardic Jews, not the Ashkenazi Jews, are the Khazarian coverts they are not the people of the book.
For the last and deceived Jacob’s troubles first started from the Babylonian exile, then the building of Salomon’s temple, our two witnesses John the Baptiste that came in the power and spirit of Elijah, then Yahushua our Messiah whom we rejected. John the Baptist and Yahushua’s were born six month apart, their ministries were started six months apart, and last for three and half years(3-1/2) and both were killed six months apart. Then came the first woe the abomination and desolation of our temple and the mass slaughtering of our ancestors. Then came the second woe our enslavement by the Arabs, and Esau our enemy. The height of Jacob’s our troubles came in the 13thhundreds when Esau finally find us in West Africa, then tried to exterminate us in all conceivable way upon till these day, yes my brother Esau I am aware of who you are so you can stop fooling yourself now.
Malachi 1:3-4
3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord hath indignation forever.
Yahushua second coming Esau your Kingdom will be desolate.
The Bible is a living testament, and we are the living testimony to whom the word of Yahweh the Elohim of Israel is written of. No other nation an earth can claim that they are the people of the bible if the prophesy from Geneses to Revelation apply. The Koran is testament, and the Muslim are the living testimony to the god they serve. The Babylonian Talmud is a testament and the synagogue of Asatan is a living testimony of the god they serve. The many different version of the white wash bible is a testament of Cease Borgia and the Judio-Christian is a living testimony of the god they serve; they are witnesses to the gods that they serve the works of their own hand.
We are in the last stages of Jacob’s troubles our deliverance is near the time of the Gentile has been fulfilled. As Yahushua our Messiah say you shall know the time is near:
Matthew 24:3-7
3 And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying; tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers’ places.
Be not be deceive Israel keep your eyes on the signs of time.
