Yashua’s disciples were not masters of Torah nor skilled like Saul of Tarsus who was given the nickname Paul which means little. Yahshua’s disciples were all chosen men with blue- and white-collar backgrounds. Since they were to go to the lost sheep of Israel the law and testimony were already bound in their hearts. It is writing concerning this fulfillment of this prophecy. “Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.” “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:16,20
Here again, how long can milk do the spiritual body good the proof is in the pudding, we can foam at the mouth, frown until I eyebrows become one or turn red as Sapphire. Again, it will not change a jot or tilt of Yahweh’s ideal nor annul the atoning blood of Yeshua (Jesus) overall purpose for His coming Kingdom. What did Yeshua’s disciples hear during weekly Sabbaths Torah readings at home, standing on Solomon’s porch, while sitting, watching and listening to Yeshua during pilgrimage walks towards the Holy city. They must have learned Yahweh’s principles concerning LOVE from the Beloved Son himself. “As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.“ John 15:9-10 Who have you been listening to for the last 24 hours.
I wonder if Judas was learned would he have seen his pending judgement, and not betrayed Christ being that he was learned in the mysteries of the word. What about Alexander the Great would he have made a sanctuary city in Alexander, Egypt for the continuous study of Yahweh’s word and its translation to Greek, if Jewish authority did not show him in prophecy. What about Micheal (Mike) Pence who is a type of St. Barnabas in scriptures. What was his chosen prophecy to fulfil? Yeshua twelve disciples were not learned enough to understand the many prophecies; therefore, they could not easily manipulate the kingdom messages with dramatics like many ministers of the faith do today with scriptures.
They taught and did what our Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) shown and told them to do which earned them the name followers of The Way. When dramatics are used in movies especially when it is based on a true story. Adding dramatics helps promote sensationalism in which draws you away from the ideal’s actual truth, like magic or witchcraft. “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelations 12:9 Note: The highlighted word deceives is not in past-tense.
When dramatics are interjected as narratives into Yahweh’s word it can make a wolf look like an innocent old person, turn the ‘lake of fire’ into a puddle of water or make a cult look like a social media community of GOODWILL. When our self-righteousness rules us how can one become humble before the throne of GRACE, MERCY and JUDGEMENT. The synonyms for self-righteousness as describe by Merriam-Webster are affectation, arrogance, complacency, hypocritical, pretense, sanctimonious, superciliousness and etc., When there are gaps in our hearts due to our own righteousness, we allow Satan to enter secretly under the spiritual hedges of Yahweh’s word. “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore, have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.” Ezekiel 22:30-31; Romans 2:8
Self-righteousness hinders us from experiencing the fullness of a more abundant life after we have come unto the saving grace of Yeshua. However, when one is hypocritical a synonym word for self-righteousness it can lead to extremism when one is overfilled with hate or jealousy towards those who do not follow their ideal(s) or look like it. When George Floyd protest was at its peak ‘Blue Lives Matter’ anti-protesters was at an all-time high.
Now on the other hand, protesters against ‘Cop City’ received no public backlash from ‘Blue Lives Matter’ supporters; moreover, innocent lives were lost in both cases. This is what self-righteousness does it give us some truth and blinds us of the rest of it just to ensure that flesh remains messiah. Our Self-righteousness will have us to believe that it is okay for my friends to be bullies, as long as the bullying falls into their definition of who can be bullied and who cannot. “But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. -Luke 6:32
Let him deny self. The word deny has two-fold meanings in scripture its meanings (G720; G575) to disown, reject or refuse. Fear of lost keeps us from denying ourselves before the throne of Grace fear of not being in control of self. Is it possibles for one to be restful when one is drawn mentally and emotionally into the many concerns of this world. Yeshua offers us a peace that whatsoever is going on around you, you can rest assure that he will keep you in perfect peace who mind, heart and soul abides in Him. Read Isaiah 26:3 John the author of Yahweh’s heart pens that love is the greatest gift, and we can find LOVE rolled up in two commandments, but one is the greatest; therefore, we must understand today if we do not understand anything else at this moment in time. It is written, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love cast out fear: because fear hath torment. He that fear is not made perfect in love.” -1 John 4:18; 2 Timothy 1:7
Yahweh (the Lord) has crossed overed those who have eyes to see let him see and ears to hear let him hear. Repent!!! Seek his face by his word and the only thing that will come unto you is Jesus’s truth, that He and He alone is The Way, Amen.
