No matter who you are or what faith you claim to practice, You can walk down that road passed the soldiers & Michael right into the tomb to see the grave clothes.

In the tomb you can either choose to love God or to hate Him. But when you leave, Christ will be waiting at the entrance. God has you where He wants you, between His "Two Witnesses". Christ will then point out the soldiers and ask if you want to be bribed by the world or are you going to tell the world of your faith in Him.

ZECHARIAH Chapter #4 Verses #11- 14 11 "Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? 12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? 13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth."

REVELATION Chapter #11 Verses #15- 17 15 "And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned."

By Messianic Jewish Rabbi Jack (Yacob) Farber The Torah is timeless This week's Reading list: *   Devarim / Deuteronomy 3:23-7:11 *   Yeshayahu / Isaiah 40:1-26 *   Mark 12:28-34 Devarim {5:1} Moshe (Moses) called to all Yisrael, and said to them, Hear, Yisrael, the statutes and the huchim (judgements) which I speak in your ears this day, that you may learn them, and observe to do them. {5:2} HaSHEM our G-D made a brit (covenant) with us in Horeb. {5:3} HaSHEM didn't make this brit (covenant) with our avot (fathers), but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. {5:4} HaSHEM spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the midst of the fire, {5:5} (I stood between HaSHEM and you at that time, to show you the word of HaSHEM: for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn't go up onto the mountain;) saying, {5:6} "I am HaSHEM your G-D, who brought you out of the land of Mizrayim (Egypt), out of the house of bondage. {5:7} You shall have no other gods before Me. "Hold on a minute Moshe, are you not exaggerating a little bit? Lying is a sin you know! Most of the people you are speaking to here are to young to even remember the Mt. Sinai experience, let alone be able to speak to HaShem face to face. In fact it is more than likely that a good portion of them were not even born when Yisrael was at Mt Sinai. So how could you possibly make such a statement?" Well Moshe goes on to answer that question for us further on in Devarim: Devarim {29:14} Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath; {29.15} But with him that stands here with us this day before HaShem our G-d, and also with him that is not here with us this day: No, Moshe is not lying, what he is telling us here is that G-d's Torah is timeless. It extends beyond the confines of generations and reaches to the end of time. You see what we are reading here in the Word of G-d is that it does not matter if you were physically present at Mt. Sinai when the Torah was given to Moshe, spiritually you were there. How can that be possible you ask? Well if you believe that HaShem knew you from time immemorial as He says he did it is possible. Yirmeyahu / Jeremiah {1.5} Before I formed you in the belly I knew you;..... Although HaShem was speaking directly to Yirmeyahu here, we can trust that this statement also applies to every single one of us. G-d knew every human being from before creation and certainly from before the giving of the Torah. Not only that, the implication of this statement by Moshe makes it clear that the even those who were not present to hear and see the events of Mt. Sinai, were just as bound by them as those who were present. How would this translate for us today, as both Jewish and non-Jewish believers in Mashiach (Messiah) Yeshua? Romim / Romans {3.28-31} Therefore, we hold the view that a person comes to be consider righteous by G-d on the ground of trusting which has nothing to do with legalistic observance of Torah commands. Or is G-d the G-d of the Jews only? Isn't He also the G-d of the Gentiles? Yes, He is indeed the G-d of the Gentiles; because as you will admit G-d is one. Therefore, He will consider righteous the circumcised on the ground of trusting and the uncircumcised through the same trusting. Does it follow that we abolish Torah by this trusting? Heaven forbid! on the contrary, we confirm Torah. The justification spoke of here by Rav. Shaul (Paul) is salvation. Salvation was by faith only as it was with Avraham (Abraham): Galitim / Galatians {3.6} "He trusted in G-d and was faithful to Him, and that was credited to his account as righteousness." Like wise today salvation is by faith only, for us. Rav. Shaul confirms in His Scripture however, that justification does not nullify the Torah. Torah deals with sanctification, not justification! Works is a by-product of salvation and not a requirement for it. Yaacov (James) {2.18} But some one will say that you have faith and I have actions. Show me this faith of yours without the actions, and I will show you my faith by my actions! Torah was given by G-d to a redeemed community. It is a code, a covenant between Him and us as believers in Mashiach Yeshua. The only law that has been done away with by the Brit Chadasha (Renewed Covenant) is the law of sin and death. It was this law and this law only that was nailed with Yeshua to the tree. Through His death He paid the price of our sin, which is our death according to Torah. I think Yeshua's words sum up the whole argument, because they correspond and complement completely what Moshe said thousands of years earlier. Yochanan / John 20.29 Yeshua said unto him, Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. ***************************** Baruch HaShem Rabbi Jack (Yaacov) Farber Hallelujah to our L-rd, our Teacher, our Rabbi, "YESHUA" King Messiah for ever and ever!!!
