151) Remembering The Law Of Moses Ends The Curse

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned…” George Santayana

“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts / armies, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings…And ye shall tread down the wicked…

Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for ALL Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” (Malachi 4)

As many times as the earth has been smitten with a curse of world war, it appears that God’s people still haven’t gotten, or at least implemented, the command to Remember The Law Of Moses.

As the composer of the first five books of humanity’s history from day one, it stands to reason that Moses is God’s foundational spokesman.

It is on Moses’ writings that the reliability of the entirety of the literary work of the Bible is based, the plot of which is restoration of humanity’s leadership in the Kingdom of God by defeating the enemy sin and death.

152) United We Stand

“The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.” (Genesis 49:10)

What happened to the northern Ten Tribes of Israel?

The most popular theory is British-Israelism which claims the ten tribes went north from Assyria and became the Scythians who became the Germanic Tribes who migrated into western Europe, particularly the British Isles.

Ever since the Assyrians exiled the Lost Tribes of Israel in the eighth century B.C., the mystery of what happened to the ten tribes has deepened inexorably with time. Where did they go? Are the claims by contemporary groups who say they are descended from the Lost Tribes legitimate? Here, we present an abbreviated history of the Lost Tribes and modern-day claims of descent.

But there are also biblical references to Israelites who merged with the southern nation of Judah to 1) escape civil turmoil and religious heresy, 2) escape Assyrian captivity, and 2) return after the Babylonian Exile.

SECTION XXVII: I Am = Eternal One = I Change Not!

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. ” (Hebrews 13:8-9)

I am the LORD, I change not…

  • Remember ye the law of Moses my servant
    • Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil…Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:17-19)
  • For I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: (Malachi 3-4)
    • Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed.” (Matthew 17:10-12)

153) God’s Covenants Are Eternal = They Change Not!

In religious contexts, a covenant is an unbreakable agreement between an individual or community and a deity.

There is a tremendous amount of debate and confusion over the matters of Eschatology, that is, the Study of the End of Times. Two of the most prevalent school of thoughts are Covenant Theology and Dispensational Eschatology.

Covenant Theology claims that God deals with mankind through several Covenants. Most Covenant Theology theologians hold to a Covenant of Works in the Old Testament between God and Adam. The New Testament is the Covenant of Grace.

Dispensationalism is a method of biblical interpretation that teaches that Scripture is “unfolding” in a series of Dispensations beginning with Adam, changing with Noah, and so on as history progresses. Dispensationalists claim support for their interpretation through “literal” interpretation of scripture, but in fact a literal interpretation of scripture is that no “new” covenant can eliminate the original covenant of dominion over the kingdom of God.

154) Breaking God’s Covenant Doesn’t End It

“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake…(Jeremiah 31)

We need to put this breaking of the covenant in context. Back up two chapters:

“Thus shalt thou [Jeremiah] also speak to Shemaiah… Because thou has sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and…all the priests, saying The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the Lord, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison…[so] why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth?… Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah…because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.” (Jeremiah 29:24-32) 

This was executed in one way when “after the destruction of the Temple in 586 BCE, the priests were no longer able to perform their functions. The authority of the rabbis – laymen – based in the synagogues of every town, like Christian churches in our time, began to grow.

155) The New Covenant Is The Old Story

A covenant remains intact even if one of the parties breaches it. We simply can’t understand the terms of the new covenant without tracking it back to the original.. Every reference to a “new” covenant is a new condition to the original covenant upholding the original covenant by the stronger party of the covenant despite the failure of the weaker party.

God’s foundational covenant with humanity is the transfer of his power and authority to humanity.

Let us make man in our image and let them have dominion”. (Genesis 1:26)

This is the Singularity enforcing a new reality, exactly as stated in Let…” throughout Creation and thereafter. The circumstances are out of our control.

Clearly, the only way this could possibly work is for humanity to draw on the source of power and authority of the Singularity over Creation. We get into trouble when we disconnect from God. That is sin / self-destruction – rejecting God’s authority and power in our lives.

And the LORD God commanded the man / made a law, saying…of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:

In other words – do not break away to independence! Follow God’s determination of what is good and what is evil.

for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die [become separated from the Source of life].” (Genesis 2:16-17)

156) A Sacral King Like Moses

Did you know that although Moses is depicted inside the Supreme Court…he is…merely one of many “great lawgivers of history”, i.e. Sacred Kings, on the South and North walls?

Moses (holding two tablets) is standing among other allegedly historical lawgivers such as Menes (holding an Egyptian ankh), Hammurabi (who allegedly received his laws from the Babylonian Sun God), Solomon (who was wise enough [not!] to manage 700 wives and 300 concubines), Solon, the legendary Lycurgus (the central figure, who consulted the Oracle at Delphi), Draco, Confucius, Octavian, Justinian, Muhammad… Charlemagne, King John, the Crusader Louis IX (“Saint Louis”), Hugo Grotius, Sir William Blackstone, John Marshall, and Napoleon, as well as allegorical or mythical lawgivers such as the Greek goddess “Fame,” the Egyptian goddess “Authority,” the “Light of Wisdom” goddess, “Equity,” “Philosophy” and “History.”

These lawgivers defined culturally-defined, changing with the times, based on social strata regulated human relationships with each other, and in some cases, with a myriad of competing gods, to guard against abuse and exploitation, and ways and means of obtaining supernatural benefits.

Only Moses’ laws defined permanent, consistently-applied across social strata and cultures regulated human relationships with and other and one Singularity Creator God. And humans don’t get to make or change them.

They were given to humanity through Moses.

Leading inexorably to the conclusion that Moses – not Jesus Christ – is God’s primary messenger to humanity for our post-Flood era.

Shocking.

Yeah. It was to me too.

157) “Only Begotten Son” Still Means “Chosen Heir”

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

John 3:16 has been called “The Gospel in a nutshell” because it provides a stunningly succinct summary of the doctrine of the Christian faith.”

Whooooah Nellie! This verse provides a stunningly succinct summary of the doctrine of faith in God’s plan for all humanity for all time.

“being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high…he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name / title…

For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.” (Hebrews 1:1-6)

As explained in an article by Dr. Gibbs quoted in a previous post, “Begotten Son” is not an entitlement deriving from physical procreation.

Only Begotten Son is an honor bestowed by the father onto one of his many sons. Continue reading “157) “Only Begotten Son” Still Means “Chosen Heir””

SECTION XXVIII: How Believing In The Name Of Jesus Saves

 

Jesus the Christ / Yehoshua ha Messiach is the ultimate expression of the unity of humanity with Lord God YHVH, the first-begotten son generating a host of other sons of God, promised to humanity at the beginning of time under a new covenant with the Woman after she abrogated the first covenant granting dominion.

“the angel Gabriel was sent from God…To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women…thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name “YHVH is Salvation”. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest…and of his kingdom there shall be no end / he shall bring in everlasting life.

Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also [in addition to being legally accepted] that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son [genetically] of God.” (Luke 1:26-36)

Because Yeshua / Jesus got his male-determining chromosome, what we call the Y chromosome, from God, he is indeed

  • the second holy / pure before sinning ha-Adam / Human son of God,
  • a second chance for a human son of God to come into existence as,
  • and remain, holy, sinless, not condemned to death.

“Yahweh’s Savior / Yeshua / Jesus the Son of God…was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” (Hebrews 4:14-15)

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” (II Corinthians 5:21)

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree… “(I Peter 2:24)

The Human Genome Project has confirmed that all Homo sapiens are identified by a shared genome that traces back to just one man even science calls “Adam”. See relevant post for details.

Science has only recently discovered that both

  1. external / exogenous substances incorporated into the body through foods, drugs, skin absorption, etc.- for illicit or therapeutic purposes,
  2. as well as internally produced / endogenous hormonal and neurological substances generated by behaviors engaged in by the body – such as sexual activity or extreme emotions

have the biological capability,

  1. not just to activate the cell’s DNA to produce proteins, etc, 
  2. but also to regulate the DNA, determining  if and when and how genes are turned on or off

affecting the body’s wellbeing

  1. in the body (byproducts of which are carried in the blood)
  2. and soul (chemoelectrical modifications in the neurological pattern).

This process goes far beyond what was known about the neurological response to enjoyable stimulation, say from opioids or stimulants or sexual arousal or the thrill of gambling, which psychologically lead to increased use and addiction to these through excessive production of the existing cell receptors.

In a process called epi-genetics from the Greek “above-genes”, these certain substances direct the cells’ DNA to assemble molecules that sit on top of the DNA, turning on or off the DNA activity like a switch.

Like the other cellular products, these newly generated “switches” move out of the producer cell and spread through the body to other cells, thereby controlling gene expression for the highly complex and cellular interactive biological, emotional, intellectual and spiritual traits, behaviors, disease and even death. 

What was most shocking to researchers was the discovery that physical and psychological responses, i.e. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder – to trauma experienced by one generation are encoded in epigenetics and passed down to subsequent generations in the egg and sperm cells. 

This scientific discovery validates the biblical account of the Adams’ initial immortality

  • transferred directly from the Singularity Creator into the first Adam when he “formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7)
    • transferred from the man to his identical partner out of “the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, And Adam / “The Man” said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of / cloned from Man… one flesh.(Genesis 2:22-24)
  • transforming into mortality epigenetically through exposure to a toxic substance in the fruit they were advised against incorporating into their body by eating, and quite possibly although not documented earlier, as the Woman said, through skin absorption. “of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.” (Genesis 3:3)
    • and this death process passed down to all the Adam’s offspring. “by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men,” (Romans 5:12)

Epigenetic inheritance ALSO EXPLAINS the REVERSE PROCESS – the effects of an ancestor’s behavior can manifest in his offspring via the same epigenetic process but now reversing mortality back to immortality.

  • For as in Adam all die,
  • even so in The Seed [egg cell] of the Woman / Consecrated One / Messiah / Christ shall all be made alive.” (I Corinthians 15:22)

Being formed from Adam’s rib, i.e. cloned, Mrs. Adam’s entire genome was originally identical to Mr. Adam’s. In the death / DNA corruption from eating the fruit , Mr. Adam lost a significant amount of DNA in the much smaller Y chromosome attributing maleness, while Mrs. Adam got not only much more DNA in the two much larger X chromosomes, but also the life-transferring mitochondria with its own unique DNA.

This guarantees that every child, regardless of gender, receives every one of the human genes from their mother’s egg cell containing a full X and the mitochondrial DNA. That included the last Adam, AKA Jesus Christ, from Mary.

But added to Jesus’ half set of degenerated human genes was the other half of the full complement of human genes from YHVH, a match to Adam’s perfect genome at his creation as the original Human Son of God granted dominion over the earth. 

Christians who believe in evolution have an extremely limited range of ability to believe in the Bible’s human Savior whereas anyone who believes that God physically created his first human son Adam in his image and likeness has no problem understanding that God also fathered the last / final perfect human ha-Adam by recreating the perfect prototype human DNA sperm cell and placing it in the female egg. 

YHVH’s Savior defeated Sin / the Serpent by adhering to the basic principle presented to Cain. This is best understood (at least by me) in the original Hebrew of Genesis 4:8, which admittedly sounds like Yoda speaking but is truly more authentic to anyone who has studied any language that doesn’t follow the same syntax (the assigned positions of parts of speech) as in English.

  • Will not if you do well, you be accepted? Accepted here is in the context of winning a competition for a valued position
  • And if not you do well, sin lies at the door. Staying consistent, this means that the struggle continues. 
  • And to you is its desire, but you should rule over it. This is entirely different from the English translation of “thou shalt rule.” And frankly, credible in light of Cain’s next action of murdering his brother, as well as personal experience of failure after failure to overrule temptation.

Just do the right thing from the beginning, or you will find yourselves struggling and quite likely overcome by temptation. Anyone else ever felt yourself going down that slippery slope that was as exhilarating as a toboggan run until you pass that point of no return where you hurtled into a very damaging accident? We knew exactly that last second we went over the edge.

The wise person doesn’t even get into the toboggan or situation the next time. Call blocking is there for a reason.

Epigenetics explains why our Redeemer had to be human – in order to share his identity with other humans. It can’t be Goliath or any other pagan god or alien. Heads up – foreshadowing here. See relevant post for details.

  • “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body [in his human genetics & epigenetics] on the tree,
  • that we, being dead to sins, should live.“ (I Peter 2:24) 

“many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ / YHVH’s Delegated Savior is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.” (II John 1:7)

  • “as by one [hu]man sin entered into the world, and death by sin;
    • and so death passed upon all [hu]men…
  • even so by the righteousness of one [human]
    • the free gift came upon all [hu]men unto justification of life.
  • For as by one [hu]man’s disobedience many were made sinners,
    • so by the obedience of one [human] shall many be made righteous.” (Romans 5:12,18-19)

And when Jesus the Christ “was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin,” (Hebrews 4:15), his death – which is a consequence of sin – could not be allowed by any law of physics or spirituality. 

“And so it is written,

  • The first / πρῶτος / proto[type] man Adam was made a living soul;
  • the last / ἔσχατος / eschatos / finaleschat-ology / Adam was made a quickening / life-giving spirit.” (I Corinthians 15:45)

Epigenetics explains why anyone who wants to have eternal life must be “obedient” to the word of God – take action in body and soul for permanent changes to take effect in his/her own genome.

“Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3)

“through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:.,,Being born again, not of corruptible / degenerated seed / DNA, but of incorruptible [immortal seed] by the word [creative force] of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” (I Peter 1:2,23)

Epigenetics  lay a key role in the ability of the DNA in these cells to activate any part of the complete genome to become any type of cell in the body, and from there to develop into any part of the body, such as a heart, kidney, lung, etc. The implications of this work for future clinical regenerative intervention extends not only the life of the individual but the vitality.

This finding validates the biblical account of the regeneration when “we shall be changed”.

“Corruptible / degeneration must put on / epi incorruption, and this mortal / death must put on / epi immortality / deathlessness.” (I Corinthians 15:52-53)

Epigenetics explains how

  • our bodies change
  • and yet our souls remain our unique self

transcribed in our genetics.

“And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my [new] flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself [my personhood, my personality] and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins / nervous system be consumed within me.” (Job 19:26-27)

It boils down to believing in Creation or Evolution, the Bible or the lies of the devil.

“Now is Christ / Promised One ” risen from the dead…

  • For since by man came death,
    • by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
  • For as in Adam all die,
    • even so in Christ / Promised Seed of the Woman shall all be made alive.
  • Christ the firstfruits;
    • afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming…

when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power…” (I Corinthians 15:20-28)

 

His innocent death was therefore able to be applied to all the Woman’s seed, to substitute for the condemnation and sentencing of her guilt passed genetically to all her offspring.

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality [rule, authority] and power [godhood]:” (Colossians 2:6-10) 

This man called Yeshua was claiming to come in the full power of Almighty Creator God Himself

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, [but despite this] how often would I have gathered thy children together [to protect you], even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your household / people is left unto you desolate / unprotected. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name [i.e. abilities, power] of the LORD / YHVH.” (Matthew 23:37-39)

This why Christ Jesus / YHVH’s Anointed Savior is the only name that saves.

The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his SonRepent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. And he shall send Jesus Christ / YHVH’s Anointed Savior…which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world beganNeither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name / attribute of power under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 3:13-19, 4:12)

The name that that empowers eternal life is the source of life, YVHV / Creator. When we understand that the name, power and identity of the man we call Jesus Christ is not unique to him but sources back to YHVH / Creator, then we should likewise understand that the religion we call Christianity is not unique but sources back to Creation.

Believing in the Creator and putting faith for permanent restoration of life in the one who gave life in the first place is essential logical / reality.

And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this? Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them…by the power / name of YHVH’s Promised Savior…whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.” (Acts 4:7-10)

“And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” (John 14:13-14)

In magic, invoking a powerful being’s secret name gives access to that being’s power “to do”. Even in mundane life, knowing your doctor’s secret cell phone number, which I had for the doctor for whom I worked, can empower you. Without being blocked or stalled, I could immediately gain his authorization to accomplish my plans.

With this in mind, the interaction between notoriously sly Jacob and God takes on added meaning. Jacob is trying to gain power over God by learning his secret name, which explains why God did not give it to him.

“And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day…And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name?” (Genesis 32:24-30)

We can recognize that Manoah was also being clever when he asked for the angel’s name. Manoah lacked the faith to believe God’s promise, and wanted the standard pagan enforcement plan to ensure the higher power makes good on his promise.

And there was a certain man…whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren…And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her…thou shalt conceive, and bear a son [Samson]and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hands of the Philistines…And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name…? And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret? (Judges 13:1-18)

With this background, we understand that believers who receive a secret name are granted some special powers. This concept should be well understood in our current culture.

“To him that overcometh will I give…a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” (Revelation 2:17)

I don’t have personal experience in magic in its many forms because I do believe that sharing names and contact information with spirit beings does in fact create two-way connections.  And, as another nonmaterial experience – on-line dating – proves, you can’t be in control of what happens next. We need to be careful about invoking, even unwittingly, names of spirit beings in activities like karate and yoga.

There is only one name in which we can safely trust to accomplish a good thing for us.

“For the Lord God [Adonay Yhvh] will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me. Behold, the Lord God will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up. Who is among you that feareth the LORD [Yhvh, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD [Yhvh], and stay upon his God [Elohaw]. (Isaiah 50:7-10)

  • For thus saith the LORD God / Adonay YHVHwhat have I here, saith the LORD / YHVH …that my name / reputation, identity continually every day is blasphemed. Therefore my people shall know my name / identity…  
    • “Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Therefore…making himself equal with God.” (John 5:17-18)
  • that I am he that doth speak:
    • “the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak…whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.” (John 12:49-50)
  • behold, it is I / LORD God himself… 
    • Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then…a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son / the one who manifests me perfectly, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.” (Matthew 17:1-6)
  • that saith unto Zion, Thy God / Elohayik reigneth!
    • he [Pilate, the pagan who perfectly understood sacral kingship] saith unto the Jews, Behold your [God]-King!Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? [How do you kill a god? He is mocking the God aspect of their King.]…(John 19:3-15) 
  • The LORD / YHVH hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation / yeshua of our God / Elohenu
    • the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved…verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world [of the latest Middle East hotbed of unrest via the Roman roads’ trade routes.]” (Romans 10)

When we know the translation we understand why invoking the name of YHVH’s Delegated Savior is equivalent to calling on the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” (Matthew 28:19)

“…Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ.” (Acts 2:38)

“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

  • Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world…
    • Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when [did this happen]? saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
  • And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
  • Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels…Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” (Matthew 25:31-46)

According to this passage, people who don’t know “Christ Jesus” by name or in the Christian religious system can still be declared righteous.

This totally makes sense when we take into consideration that the God-man promised to redeem mankind was not known by the English translation “Christ Jesus” to the vast majority of humanity. As has been explained in previous postings, “name” defines accomplishments. “Christ Jesus” is the inadequate translation of “The Transcendant I Am / Creator’s Promised Savior”.

This reasoning carries forward to include Islam’s Muhammed as a Melchizedek for Arabs and converts.
