Therefore, the assumption that THE BLOOD OF YESHUA NULLIFIES THAT OF GOATS, AND THAT THE COVENANT THAT YAHUAH MADE WITH OUR ANCESTORS IS JUST A SHADOW, IS AN ABSOLUTE INSULT WITHIN YAHUAH’S FAITH SYSTEM!
Shabbat Shalom to the saints. The topic for this sermon is: “God’s covenant with the children of Yisra’el.”
1.The Book of Genesis 9:11-15: “And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
2. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
3. I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
4. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.” – King James Version
5.The word ‘Covenant’ means something that two parties have agreed upon, but it has terms and conditions.
6.But in terms of the covenant with Noah, God did not put any conditions; He committed Himself to honouring it on His own terms, saying that He would no longer bring the Deluge upon the earth.
7.He then said He would remind Himself by making the Bow appear after each rainfall so that He could remember His Covenant He made with us.
8.The second Covenant that God made with us, through Abraham, is found in Genesis 17 from verse 9 to 14. In this Covenant Yahuah says to Abraham.
9.“And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
10. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an EVERLASTING covenant.
11. And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.” – KJV
12.This second covenant, which God made with Abraham is different from the one He made with Noah.
13.The first one had no conditions, but Yahuah vowed that He would never destroy the earth with water.
14.He said that the sign that He would no longer destroy the earth with water is the Bow.
15.Whenever it rains, the Bow will appear so that it may remind God that He said we would never be destroyed with the Deluge!
16.But what we should always watch out for is that Yahuah did not say He would never destroy us anymore; He said WE WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED WITH THE DELUGE!
17.Indeed, Yahuah our God still honours that vow because there has been no cataclysmic Flood on earth.
18.But Yahuah destroyed Gomora and Sodom with fire because they had sinned excessively!
19.Yahuah does not breach any covenant He has made with His people except if a condition had been attached to it, which we might have breached!
20.And Yahuah always explains that due to our apostasy against Him, He terminates a Covenant He made with us!
21.The Mark of the Yahuah’s Covenant with Abraham is inscribed on our bodies.
22.Yahuah said every man from the line of Abraham will be excommunicated from their nation if they were not circumcised. That means that such a man would not be allowed to meet with his own nation.
23.From that time onwards, all nations that descended from Abraham get circumcised. Most South African tribes practise circumcision as a traditional custom – the Xhosas, Sothos, Zulus and many more.
24.The current cultural practice of circumcision has become traditional, but to Yahuah this Covenant is part of His divine Law! Even Muslims get circumcised because they are descendants of Abraham!
25.But the most solemn Covenant among the rest, which Yahuah ever made with the children of Yisra’el, is the one He made with them when they were represented by Moshe on Mount Sinai!
26.Why do we say this Covenant is the most solemn among all the other covenants?
27.When Yahuah came down to make the Covenant with the children of Yisra’el, He left heaven and descended upon Mount Sinai; He was seen by all the people!
28.Such a phenomenal event had never occurred on earth, and we do not even know if it will ever occur anytime in the future!
29.In Exodus 19:5-6, Yahuah says: “Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.” – KJV
30.Moshe received the Decalogue from Yahuah, written by God Himself on the two tablets while other laws, which Yahuah also gave to Moshe, were engraved in a book called THE BOOK OF THE LAW.
31.The children of Yisra’el personally made a solemn vow, saying: “ALL THAT THE LORD HATH SPOKEN WE WILL DO!”
32.After they had committed themselves through that vow, the covenant was sealed with the slaughter of an animal, and Moshe sprinkled the blood over them while the other portion was sprinkled over the altar!
33.Therefore, this Covenant is the most solemn among the rest of the other covenants that Yahuah ever made with the children of Yisra’el because IT WAS SEALED WITH BLOOD!
34.In Deuteronomy 7:12-25, Yahuah says: “Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
35….the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid!
36. Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the Lord thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible!” – KJV
37.Except the covenants Yahuah made with us as the progeny of Yisra’el, we do not know of any other covenant He made with the children of Yisra’el beside the covenant between Yahuah and David about the kingdom that would endure in his house forever.
38.But there is no other covenant that Yahuah ever made with us, according to the Bible! We have read almost the entire Bible but have not come across any other covenant!
39.Secondly, Yahuah never made a covenant with any other nation other than the children of Yisra’el!
40. At times some people talk about a “new covenant.” We have searched for it across the entire Bible, but it is not found in any chapter or verse of the Bible!
41.Those who claim that there is a new covenant often read the book of Jeremiah 31:31-34, in which Prophet Jeremiah says: “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.”
42.Firstly, in this prophecy of Jeremiah, which is not at all a covenant, he says there will be a covenant WITH THE HOUSE OF YISRA’EL AND THE HOUSE OF JUDAH!
43.Therefore, if you are not within the house of Yisra’el or Judah, you are a gentile, and that covenant is not INCLUDE YOU! YOU ARE SIMPLY CLAIMING WHAT REALLY DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU!
44.This is straight talk, and it should not confuse us even a bit; Jeremiah says YAHUAH WILL MAKE A COVENANT WITH THE CHILDREN OF YISRA’EL!
45.Since most of us deny that we are descendants of Yisra’el, this prophecy is not relevant to those who deny this identity!
46.Jeremiah proceeds: “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, although I was an husband unto them…
47.But this shall be the covenant that I will make WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL; After those days, saith the Lord, I WILL PUT MY LAW IN THEIR INWARD PARTS, AND WRITE IT IN THEIR HEARTS; AND WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.
48. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
49.Yahuah says He will make a new covenant with the children of Yisra’el because their forebears abandoned Him and breached the Covenant He had made with them!
50.In other words, Yahuah is saying He will relieve us of the curses of Deuteronomy 28 if we reconcile with Him!
51.This prophecy is a figurative speech. The notion that Yahuah will put the Law in our inward parts means that the Law of God will dwell in our minds and become almost like our culture.
52.One does not need to be taught a culture for it becomes intertwined with one’s consciousness until they really like it!
53.If one is a descendant of Nazarites, if even they stray away, it would not be easy to shave their head and stop keeping the Shabbat.
54.Yahuah’s law that prohibits one from shaving their head and making fire during Shabbat hours is now in their inward parts; it is now integral part of their consciousness! This is what this chapter really means!
55.THERE IS NO YAHUAH’S COVENANT THAT CANCELS ANOTHER YAHUAH’S COVENANT because Yahuah proclaims on His own that His covenant ENDURES FOREVER.
56.Therefore, the assumption that THE BLOOD OF YESHUA NULLIFIES THAT OF GOATS, AND THAT THE COVENANT THAT YAHUAH MADE WITH OUR ANCESTORS IS JUST A SHADOW, IS AN ABSOLUTE INSULT WITHIN YAHUAH’S FAITH SYSTEM!
57.It is okay if the gentiles insult the Law of Yahuah because the fat that they do not keep it is not an issue for them since they have no covenant with Yahuah!
58.But Yahuah’s Law will never be a shadow to us; we will never turn sacrifices that we make for Yahuah into a laughing stock within our faith system!
59. As Yahuah’s nation, we made a covenant with Yahuah, affirming that we would worship Him by keeping His statutes!
60.Therefore, all the covenants that Yahuah has made with us endure forever! This means that those covenants are never to be amended or rescinded!
61.Yahuah may fulfil His covenant with another covenant, but He will not annul it!
62.The Covenant that Yahuah made with Noah endures until today; the Deluge did not destroy humanity once more! We witness the Bow after each rainfall!
63.The Covenant that Yahuah made with Abraham, about circumcision of males, endures until today; it was not cancelled by the one He made with Moshe. Even the Covenant He made with Abraham was not cancelled because He said IT ENDURES FOREVER!
64.Likewise, the Covenant that Yahuah made with Moshe will never be cancelled with any other covenant, but it may just complete the existing one!
65.In Matthew 5:17-19, Yeshua clarifies that he had not come to abolish the Covenant Yahuah had made with Moshe, but that he had come to fulfil it!
66.Indeed, Yeshua completed this Covenant by saying: IF ONE DOES NOT KEEP THE MOSAIC LAW AND TEACH OTHERS TO FOLLOW SUIT, their punishment does not just stop on earth, but they will not inherit the kingdom of heaven even after their demise as mortal beings!
67.The Covenant that Yahuah made with Moshe is the Constitution of the heavenly community because it is a Covenant that governs our entire life as Yahuah’s community!
68.The black nation is extremely confused when it comes to faith, educational and identity matters.
69.But the gentiles are happy about ‘good’ results of what they spoon-fed us so that we would remain their mental slaves!
70.We should never forget the decision that was taken by white missionaries in Berlin in 1883, which went thus: Teach the niggers how to read, but TEACH THEM TO READ WITHOUT REASONING.
71.Beside the above teaching in that conference of the gentiles, this is another resolution that was taken in order to annihilate us. The decision went thus:
72.“ YOU HAVE TO DETACH FROM THEM AND MAKE THEM DISRESPECT EVERYTHING WHICH GIVES COURAGE TO AFFRONT US.
73. I MAKE REFERENCE TO THEIR MYSTIC SYSTEM AND THEIR WAR FETISH – WAREFARE PROTECTION…
74. …AND YOU MUST DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO MAKE IT DISAPPEAR!”
75.Compare the Berlin pronouncement with what Yahuah says in Deuteronomy 7:17-18 uma ethi: “If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
76. Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt!
77.When they defeated us in 70 A.D., the gentiles first demolished Yahuah’s temple, they even destroyed our faith system because they knew that as long as we still clung unto Yahuah our God, they could not overcome us!
78.That is why we are being taught to refer to THE LAW AS THE SHADOW; EVEN YAHUAH’S SACRIFICES ARE BEING TURNED INTO A LAUGHING STOCK, including the teaching that belief in ancestors is heresy!
79. As the Nazarites, we do not sacrifice to the spirits of the dead because we keep Yahuah’s Law! But we are aware that ancestral spirits exist, we therefore remember our forebears by giving offerings to Yahuah our God!
May the Lord bless what you have heard.
