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.
