After Yeshua hand picks His disciples men who were predestined to evangelize Yahweh’s lively way called the good news. Twelve disciples were chosen but the devil had been dealt a hand in the matter too it is written. “I am not speaking about all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the Scripture: ‘The one who shares My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.” John 13:18 Judas Iscariot was proclaimed in the Tanakh to betray our Lord and Savior for thirty pieces of sliver. Three different writers David, Jeremiah and Zechariah wrote out prophecy proclaiming Judas Iscariot actions, fate and place their prophecy also parallels with events in 69/70 AD concerning the destruction of the 2nd temple.
“Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.” Psalms 41:9
Yeshua’s disciples nor Judas had a rap sheet only after Judas was chosen as a disciple and in charge of the money bag when he became a theft. Moreover, Yeshua already knew Judas’s heart like Yahweh knew King Saul’s heart nevertheless, these men were anointed so that scripture maybe filled, these men came from a blue and white collard background they were not scholars of Torah outside of Sabbath worship and the Holy Feast Days. However, their names were written in heaven and proclaimed by the prophets of Yahweh. It is written, but please note in this context there is a special prayer, prayed for Yeshua’s disciples.
“I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine is thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou give me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.” John 17:9-12, Read John 6:37
Everyone that accepts salvation does not meet the qualification to be a disciple of Yeshua, but we must all give an account for the reason of our newfound HOPE. A person who has been giving a second chance at life may want to proclaim their good news message through advocating, counseling, or a 501c3 where their community or nonprofit is their pulpit. Outside his inner 12 Yeshua sent out upwards to seventy-two disciples two by two. Yeshua focus was to tend to the harvest and his students were sent out before Him this should let us know that he had no problem entrusting them with the good news, it is written many are called but few are chosen. Read Luke 10:1
” And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee, and he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.” Mark 5:18-20
The Gospel is called the good news and here is where we get the Greek word evangelion which is a derivative of the English word evangelizing. Yeshua would spend three years teaching His disciples the mysteries, revelations, power/work of the Kingdom of Yahweh and most important that he was the Son of Yahweh. None of these twelve disciples where master of Torah meaning they did not choose to continue to advance their study under Torah. The study of Torah is taught as early as the age 5 and by the time of their bar mitzvah, they could decide to master Torah or a profession.
You do not need anyone’s approval but Yahweh’s both John the Baptizer’s parents were blameless, and Yeshua’s Parents were righteous in the eyes of the Lord. “And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.” Luke1:6 “And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.” Luke 1:28 Noah also found grace in Yahweh’s eyes not man being that he was the eighth man of righteousness who followed Yahweh’s word. He succeeds his father Lamech who only lived 777 years thou his time was cut short on earth because he questioned Yahweh concerning his son physical appearance after birth. (ref. The book of Enoch) Noah was a type of a Holy Spirit, too. “These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.” Genesis 6:9; Hebrews 11:7; 2 Peter 2:5
When we do not deny or humble ourselves daily, we have failed to realize that we are coming before Yahweh’s righteousness with spots and wrinkles, it is written “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” Isaiah 64:6 We are only perfect in God’s righteousness only, but imperfect when we trust in our own self-righteousness’. It is written “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48; Deuteronomy 18:13; Genesis 17:1
Perfect according to Strong’s H8549/G5046/G3588 figuratively or morally means without blemish, complete, mature and without spot (defiled). Greek text defines it as an ‘application of labor growth mental and moral character’. Yahweh’s commandments given to Moses were never broken spiritually when Moses threw down the tablets, the tablets were broken but not the Ten Commandments. “Then the LORD said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broken.” Exodus 34:1, Deuteronomy 10:1
Yeshua (Jesus) left an example in doing His Father’s will so if Yahweh’s commandments were imperfect from the beginning by what other measure could he have redeemed us. He had to be a perfect sacrifice without spot and blemish it is written “And if a man also strives for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strives lawfully.” 2 Timothy 2:5 What do we say to a person(s) who has strived for perfect attendance or to that kid who has made a perfect score on their exam. Do we say then it was all an illusion your sacrifices and hard work was in vain. Yahweh forbid if they strived lawfully.
What oral law did Adam and Eve [Ḥawwah/Chavah] break that caused all of humankind to inherit death or unbelief? Unbelief in Yahweh’s eternal word was sown in Eve’s heart by the Adversary telling her, “You shall not surly die.” Gensis 3:4; John 8:44; 2 Corinthians 11:3 What has the adversary sown in your heart concerning you becoming WHOLE through the word of Yahweh. Perfection is the synonym word for blameless, excellent, holy, impeccable, pure, and whole. The word perfect, can be found 67 times in the Old Testament and 57 times in the New Testament, a total of 124 times.
Lucifer handy works are throughout our bible from Genesis to Revelations his job is to destroy those things which are perfect. You can always find him literally or figuratively pursuing the people of Elohim (God) and trying to breakdown Yahweh’s eternal hedges around our lives. The personification of the Adversary has touch kings of Judah and Israel, but you will have to take time to read about those ancient testimonies for yourself. Satan actions or more then pronouncing a name when the people fell away from Yahweh’s percepts. Yahweh allowed and evil king (heavy hand) upon the throne of Israel it is written. “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bears rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2
After we come to the feet of our Messiah there is a learning period that teaches us to trust in Yahweh’s provision for our lives, we do this by denying those things which is nonprofitable, OUR SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS. “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrew 11:6 “The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.” Ruth 2:12
Yeshua asked each of us to “Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28–30). Who holds the burden of proof? Yeshua! He is the fulfiller of Yahweh’s commandments that His word is pure and just to follow. What happens when we refuse to deny ourselves? Our burden becomes much heavier and since we all have a burden to carry why not invite Yeshua not only in your life but also your lifestyle. Remember that your burden is non transferrable “For every man shall bear his own burden (G5413 load/portion/weight).” Galatians 6:5; Romans 14:12
Clearly, this is all of us at some point in time babes in the Messiah filled with infatuation, a false belief that admiration is all that is needed to get us over. Like lustful teens we desire to avoid any burden of proof that will convict us of our own immaturity, but tribulation or persecution will come knocking. So, why wait to the blowing of those heavenly trumpets before you decided to rest in Yeshua’s presence. Stop returning backwards to that revolving door of uncertainties for it is written. “But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that hears the word, and anon (short time) with joy receive it; Yet hath no roots in himself but endures for a while: for when tribulation or persecution arise because of the word, by and by he is offended.”
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in therein:” Matthew 7:13 How are cult leaders like Jim Jones or think your way to prosperity preacher like Rev. Ike and their ministries are born. In the beginning their charismatic movement greatly impacted their communities but somewhere along the road they came to a stopping point where a choice has to be made at a crossroad.
So, it is today many will unyoke themselves from Yeshua by not denying their own self-will. Skipping over the word of truth while holden onto their claims as followers of Christ; thereby, becoming their own Messiah. Many will proclaim to be followers, and this may be true, but as soon as they are in front of the world’s doorstep, they easily blend into those very things the world loves most “enmity with God”.
