Apostolic CHAT

 

Messianic Judaism of Jesus and the Apostles
By Cohen G. Reckart, Pastor

The Purpose of the this chart is to trace the Messianic Judaism of Jesus and the Apostles back through the Prophets to the Patriarchs.  The Messianic hope is the central theme of the Scriptures.  The nation Israel was a chosen vessel to bring the Messianic faith from the days of the Patriarchs unto the generation the seed of Messiah should come to set up his Kingdom (Gen 49:10).
Foundation Chart On The Messianic Hope

The historical record of Israel as a nation shows that there were always apostates following idolatry and paganism but there was also always a remnant seed that maintained the hope and destiny of Israel would be fulfilled when the Messiah appeared (Joel 2:32).  

The chart shows the Messianic hope was maintained through the Prophets.  But when the apostate Jews went to Babylon they created there a Babylonianized cultic Israel based upon adopting a mystical reinterpretation of the Scriptures.  Out of these Cabala man-made traditions was born the Babylonian Talmud.  The Talmud is the most antichrist book in the world.  It contains the very *traditions of the Elders* that Jesus rebuked as being leaven and the poison of snakes and serpents.  From the Talmudic Jews there arose an antichrist movement against Jesus and the Apostles when they taught and preached the imminent fulfillment of the ancient Messianic Hope.  

This new movement was apart from the followers of Shammai, the Rabbi whom the Saducees followed, and Hillel whom the Pharisees followed.  If the followers of these men could form exclusive religious groups and identify themselves separately as God's depository of divine knowledge and truths, why could not those who believed in the ancient prophecies of the Messianic Hope create their own exclusive group?  

That is exactly what Jesus and the Apostles did.  Except they did not call their group after Shammai or Hillel, they named themselves after the Messianic Hope, hence Messiahians, and when the word Messiah was translated into Greek became *Christians.*

These Jewish Messiahians (believers and followers of Jesus the Messiah), formed a new religious community which John the Baptist and Jesus called the Kingdom of God.  The first Messianians (Christians) believed that both the Saducees and the Pharisees were usurpers of the temple and had taken over the religious conscience of the nation.  The result would be that they would reject the destiny for Israel in which the Messianic Hope of Daniel 2:44 and 9:25-27 would play a vital part according to the divine time measurement unto the Messiah's appearing.  

The Saducees and the Pharisees each wanted their religion to be the religion of Messiah if and when he ever came. Some did not believe in a personal Messiah and believed the nation itself was the Messiah and would deliver itself through much bloodshed and sacrifice.  When Jesus did not validify this doctrine and did not join the Saducees or the Pharisees Babylonianized cults, but created a completely new religious group from the remnant seed of Messianic believers remaining among the twelve tribes, he became their target for ridicule, bigotry, hate, and finally death.  

Only when a person understands that Jesus created a new Israel of God out of a remnant of the twelve tribes and called this assembly the Church, will the importance of the Messianic message be of value in understanding the large portion of Israel that will not be saved according to Romans 9:27.  If only a remnant will be saved, then those not in that remnant will be lost and no one can saved them by any means.  They will be forever cut off branches.

It is important to know that the Church is not a plan *B* and it is not a Gentile Church.  It was first made up of Jews from all the twelve tribes into which the Gentiles were grafted or adopted by conversion.  The Church is not a Gentile bride and to teach this is to teach a heresy.  On the contrary the Church is made up of Jews and Gentiles all of which are Messiahians by a profession of faith and proper conversion.  This Church is the Kingdom of God.  Jesus did not call his assembly of followers a synagogue and he did not set a minyan consisting of ten Elders after the Babylonian style over it.  Churches today are not to be run by a group of Elders after the synagogue style.  Each Church is to have a Pastor.  Jesus went completely away from the Babylonian model of the Saducees and the Pharisees and their synagogue styles and methods and established the Church upon twelve Apostles.  

The destiny of the remnant of the Israel that would follow Messiah was that they would become the first to enter into the Kingdom of God.  This Kingdom of God would become an alternative Judaistic religious community to the entire world.  The Babylonian and Egyptian Jews who made up the Saducees and the Pharisees would need to convert to the Kingdom of God or be damned (Mark 16:16).  

When the Saducees and the Pharisees could stand no more of the followers of Jesus preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, they began a systematic purging of the Messiahians from their temple and their synagogues.  Prayers were created in which Jesus, the Kingdom of God, and Messiahins became the target of damnation and cursing at the conclusion of the synagogue meetings.  This drove the Messianic followers of Jesus out into the cold to form for themselves their own assembly places.  They came out from among the great whore system and were separate from the Babylonian Rabbis and their traditions.  Apostate Israel was likened to a great whore in the Old Testament and was divorced by God for her abominations (Jer 3:8). Her covenant fully ended at Calvary.  The great whore sits now as a widow.  She killed her messiah, her Lord, her Husband!  The New Covenant Bride, the Church, ...the Israel of God, became her replacement. Jews and Gentile sympathizers hate replacement theology.  The book of Revelation gives us reason to believe the final conflict of antichrist will be the great whore revived and who makes a new war against the Church using the nations of the world to do these final atrocities and fill up the cup to her measure of pending judgment (Matt 23:32).

From the first century to the present generation there has existed a war between the Pharisees and their Talmudic descendants and the Messianic followers of Jesus of Nazareth.  One of the most dastard devices was when the Pharisees hired Aquila (100AD-130AD) to retranslate the Old Testament and to take out text and change wording in text that would alter them so Christians could not use them as proofs for the validity of the Messiahship of Jesus.  Some of those changes of Aquila have come down to us in the KJV via the hands of Origen and Jerome.  Compare verses quoted in the New Testament from original text with the same corresponding text in the Aquila Old Testament retranslation (compare Deut 8:15 with Acts 3:23).  Did Peter add to the words of the Scripture or did someone remove some words so that if Jews did not believe the words of Jesus they would not be destroyed?  Who would have a reason and a motive to corrupt the sacred text except those who did not want to admit their rejection of Jesus meant their own destruction (70AD)?

The entire purpose of God is not Israel after the flesh, or even the holy land, the purpose is identified when we learn that the Lamb was slain in the foreknowledge of God for the redemption of all mankind.  Thus, the Messianic message was to be for Jew and Gentile and the same blood atonement avail for both.  The Messianic hope was not in nationalism based upon a secular political government, but upon the Messiah who would usher in his Kingdom.  Jesus knew the eternal plan was the redemption of all the human race not just the Jewish race.  Because this is true, he sent the Apostles into all the world to preach the Messianic Hope and make converts of Gentiles to the Kingdom of God.  Once converted, the Gentiles would become one body with the remnant of Israel that would be saved.  Gentiles would be joint heirs of all the promises, blessings, and covenants.  There would be no difference between the Jew and the Gentile.  Salvation and open doors to the Kingdom were a universal invitation, that invitation is the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom.

Only when a person understands the Mystery Babylon connection of the Saducees and the Pharisees and that they were not the keepers of the destiny of Israel, will the importance of the Messianic Judaism of Jesus take its rightful place as the crowning glory of God.  Then, a person can say:  Jesus is Lord!  Jesus reigns!  Only present seated Kings can reign, hallelujeh he reigns in our hearts, in our homes, in our Messianic Churches, and where ever two or three are gather together in his name.
