(Job 38:4–6; 7-9; ) The Angels rejoiced, when the universe, burst into existence. All Wisdom and knowledge, is a gift from the Creator. The angels, increased their talents, as they worked with the physical creation. Lucifer, was spiritually powerful, exerting influence and leadership. He desired to replace the Son, and motivated a third of the angels, to rebel, against the heavenly government, of the Father and Son. This great rebellion, brought destruction upon the creation.

Ac 13:42; 43; Paul reasoned with the people on the Sabbath. And many believed the message of True Salvation, that comes from the Messiah.

Ac 15:1; 2; Some Jews tried to teach, that the Gentiles, must be circumcised, to receive Salvation. Paul disagreed, by quoting scriptures, that prove, True circumcision is of the heart.
(Dt 10:16; Dt 30:6; )

(Ro 12:1; 2; )

(Matt 5:17; 18; 19; 20; )
But circumcision, is only a symbolic practice. of obedience. The Heavenly Father requires, True circumcision of the heart. Which will bring, the whole mind, into obedience, to His commandments.
Another example of a change in the law. By transitioning, the symbolic act of animal sacrifices, as a sign of repentance.
The animal sacrifices, are replaced, by making our body, a living sacrifice of obedience.
(Psa 40:6; 7-8; Ro 12:1; 2; Heb 10:8; 9; 10; 15; 16; 17; )
True Salvation occurs, when the Holy Spirit, Tabernacles in our mind. Helping us, bring our whole body, into obedience, to His will.
The apostles agree, that the law given to Moses, will continue to be taught throughout the nations.
(Acts 15:21; Mal 4:4; )
They also emphasize abstinence, from the widespread sexual immorality. And the common habit, of eating unclean animals, consumed by the pagans.

Yeshua also revealed, that spiritual uncleanness, comes from the heart, of a person. UnCleanliness of heart, flows out of the mouth. The religious teachers, wrongly judged, and condemned others.
Earlier in
(Mark 7:2; )
the Jewish teachers said, the disciples, were unclean. Because, they ate food, without washing their hands. The example, discussed in Mark, has nothing to do with eating unclean animals! Yeshua, focused on the traditions, of ceremonial washing, that could not cleanse the heart. Yeshua explained, that if a person might, accidentally eat some dirt, it will go into the stomach. And eventually, pass out in the excrement. Yeshua, did NOT declare all foods clean. He did not change the laws, of nature. He did not make, unclean animals, clean for food. Yeshua quoted Isaiah”
(Mk 7:6; 7-8; )
The religious teachers try to do away with the commandments
Mk 7:10 by teaching their humanly created traditions.
(Mk 7:11; 12; Mt 15:3; )
Mk 7:19; The statement: Jesus declared, all foods “clean”. Was added by a translator, and does not belong, in the original letter from Mark.

The Eternal has created some animals, to be biologically clean for food. There are other, practical health instructions, in the law, for the benefit of responsible society.
Ro 14:6; The apostles, encountered some people, that were vegetarians, and they did not eat any meat. But, others considered their faith to be stronger. Because, they knew the law, for clean animals, that are good for food. Established, by the word of the Eternal. Faith is based upon hearing, the instructions, of the Eternal, and obeying Him.
(Ro 10:17; 3:31; )
The Eternal, does NOT teach anyone, to eat unclean animals. Some people, try to say, that all meat, is forbidden. Paul taught, that lawfully clean animals, were created for food. The instructions of the Creator are Trust-worthy and True . Believers may eat clean animals and give thanks in prayer.
(1 Ti 4:3; )
The apostles, did NOT attempt to change, the 4th formcommandment, keep Holy the Sabbath day. True followers, of Yeshua, serve the Heavenly Father, and Son. every day. But, the Sabbath, is extra special, because it looks forward to the promised kingdom. And the restoration of all things. The True Sabbath rest will be complete. When the Heavenly Father, creates a New Heaven and a New Earth. Where, only righteousness, will dwell.
Ga 4:8; 9; 10; 11; Formally, before the Gentiles, came to know True Salvation, in Yeshua. The pagans, followed deceptive customs. Worshiping, demonic idols. Celebrating, celestial cycles. Influenced, by their societal mythologies.
Paul, is NOT instructing, newly converted Gentiles, to reject the Eternal’s, Holy Sabbaths, or High Festivals.
Col 2:16; 17; Paul does NOT teach, anyone to violate the Holy Sabbaths. He reminds, every believer, that True Salvation, comes from the gift of the Holy Spirit. With the Heavenly Father’s help, we will enter the eternal Sabbath Rest.
The earthly observances, look forward to the promised, Heavenly Tabernacle with the Father and Son. Paul and the disciples, continued to keep the Sabbath and High Holy Sabbath Feast.
(1 Cor 5:8; 5:7; 1 Cor 16:8; 20:16; 27:9; )
Heb 4:9; 10; 11; 12; 13; There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest, for the people of the Eloheyem Family. For anyone who enters the Heavenly Father's rest. Also rests from his own work, just as the Father did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest. So that no one will fail by following their example of disobedience.
For the word of the Eternal is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from theFather’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Mt 5:17; 18; 19; 20; Yeshua said, He did NOT do away with, the law or the prophets. But, He glorified,
(Isa 42:21; )
The “Way of the Law”! And gave us an example to follow.
(Ro 6:16; )
(Mt 19:16-17; 18-19; )
When we pursue righteousness. We have hope, of entering the Kingdom, of the Heavenly Father. And receiving Eternal Life.
(1 John 3:2; 3-5; 6-7; Matt 5:48; )
Mt 6:24; Yeshua clearly states, that the love of riches or possessions, will prevent us, from loving the Heavenly Father.
(1 Ti 6:10; Lk 16:13; Mt 19:23; Mk 10:25; Lk 18:26-27; )
(Mt 21:12; 13; Mk 11:15; 16; 17 ; Is 56:7; Jer 7:11; )

(Col 1:15-16; 1:17-18; 1:19; )
Mal 4:5; 6; Yeshua, is that prophet. And he is turning our hearts to the Heavenly Father and True Salvation.
Mt 17:11; 12; Yeshua,, is the Elijah, which means He is the Spirit of Oneness with the Heavenly Father.
