  Genesis 1:14-15; 16-17; 18-19; On the fourth day Yehwah Eloheyem set in order the sun, moon, and stars. The great light of the sun would established the 24 hour period that governs the day. The lesser light of the moon would be used to calculate monthly events called (Moedim = appointed times or seasons) and the passing of years. The Moedim are the High Holy appointed times of Passover, Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles.

  Genesis 2:2-3; On the seventh day Yehwah Eloheyem rested and established His seventh day Sabbath as Holy. The sun is used to calculate the 24-hour day and count to the weekly seventh day Sabbath.

   The moon is only used to establish the appointed times for the seasonal Moedim. The  29 1/2 day moon cycle forms a predictable pattern that coincides with the solar equinox. Both the earth and moon follow elliptical orbits that produce observable variations that repeat every 19 solar years. The term month originated from the observation of lunar cycles. The 29 1/2 lunar cycle comes to an end as a new moon occurrs during the daylight hours of day 30. The new moon passes between the sun and the day-lit face of the earth. Every other month there will be an additional day added and the new moon celebration will be completed on day 31.

  It should seem obvious from simple mathematics that the seventh day Sabbath calculation will not consistently synchronize with a 29 1/2 day lunar cycle. There is a strange error made by some Bible students that assume the lunar cycle must be used to establish the seventh day Sabbath.

BLOOD of the LAMB

 Imagine a heroic knight in shining armor, in mortal combat with a fiery Dragon. This undefeated Ancient Serpent, has imprisoned a maiden within his castle of doom. Day after day the battle raged. The Knight's gleaming sword crashed against the iron scales of the Adversary. The Dragon's fiery breath scorched the shield of the Faithful Knight. His sword parried the iron claws, and valiantly deflected every advance of the demonic host. Till the cloak of dusk hastened, there is wisdom in the shelter of retreat. Evening spells, transformed the Dragon’s vestige into a dark and waxen armored knight, with a face resembling flickering embers. The serpentine knight spoke seductive words of love, as the fearful maiden served his nightly banquet feast. Then woeful shadows escorted the maiden to her tower of despair. Only, to be awakened as ascending fingers of a new day, lightly tapped upon the stains of glass in her window pane.

CiRCUMCiSiON n COVENANT LAW

  Circumcision, Faith, and Covenant Law became one of the most controversial questions that the Apostles examined. As they proclaimed the, "Good News”, of Salvation. Circumcision in the flesh, identified Israel, as Yehwah's set apart Covenant people. The symbolic sign, did not supersede, Circumcision of the heart. Cutting away mankind sinful lawlessness, is the True Circumcision, of Sanctification.

ETERNITY, CREATION, or DAY ONE?

Question: Does the Biblical account, recorded in the first chapter of, 

Genesis 1:1; 2; 5; 8; 13; 19; 23; 31; 2:3; prove that the physical universe, and the earth, were created, in 6 Days. And only 6000 years ago? A superficial reading of Scripture, may lead to presumptuous conclusions, from verses like,

Exodus 20:11; for in six days, Yehwah, 

)made = “עָשָׂה” = Oa-sh-Ha = means: to mold, fashion, to organize), 

the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day, therefore Yehawah blessed the Sabbath day and made it Holy 

The Exodus 20:11; account, does not contain, the word, 

) created = “בָּרָא” = B-R-E) 

The word: “created”, exists in Genesis 1:1

So, the Exodus 20:11; account. Is only referring, 

to Genesis 1:3-31; the six days, of reorganizing, and renewing, of the heavens, and the earth.

Genesis 1:3; begins the six days of reforming, and molding, and restoring Life. 

Memorialized in, Psa 104:30; Where Yehwah Eloheyem, begins Renewing, the face of the earth.

    Modern psychology assumes, that   law without love, leads to rebellion. The Heavenly Father, has revealed, His Love and Laws to mankind, and they  continually disobey, and sinfully rebel. The missing ingredient in the human heart, is Faith. Faith is more than just believing, that there is some kind of god, or spiritual power, or personal perception of love. Faith is based on a Covenant agreement, that requires both parties, to fulfill their commitments and promises. There is only One Eternal Covenant, that the Heavenly Father, makes with the descendants of Adam and Eve. That One Covenant, is continually Renewed. When each person, begins a relationship agreement, through Faith in the Heavenly Father’s, Word of Truth. The Covenant agreement states, Yehwah EL elyon the Father, and Elohe the Son, love those, who love Them by keeping the commandments.

 The question: should followers of Messiah Yeshua, keep the scripturally identified, Clean food laws? And abstain, from all Unclean, contamination? Proper review of biblical text, produces evidence. Convicting sinners, of their disobedience, to Yehwah’s Commanded Laws. A few principles, for discovering truth, are required.

 The Day of Atonement, "Yom Kippur”, reveals Mysteries of Yehwah Elohe’s, Merciful plan of Salvation. Spiritual Truth, is hidden within, symbolic sacrificial, Covenant Law. Justice, Mercy, and Faithfulness, are the keys, that open the treasure of Lovingkindness, and Redemptive At-One-ment.

Mankind has developed societies, with religions, and governmental systems. Culturally diverse languages, exerting a powerful control over people, through manipulating the meaning of words. The misuse of communication, produces deceptive peer pressure, political correctness, lies, and false religious beliefs.

In the Gospel of John 10:30; Messiah Yeshua said, "I and the Father are One."  Yeshua does not include a third person of a Trinity. Yeshua speaks directly to and about His Heavenly Father. Careful examination of Scripture is required to correct erroneous assumptions about the Spirit of Holiness.

 There is a significant connection between the Sabbath, and High Holy Sabbath assemblies, that foreshadow the importance of the Sabbath land rest, and 50th year Jubilee. Calculating the High Holy Sabbath of Pentecost, begins by counting from the first day after the weekly Sabbath, that falls within the days of Unleavened Bread. Counting 50 days will arrive at Pentecost. The count symbolizes 7 creation weeks, of Sabbaths. And arrives on the 50th day, that is Day One of a “New Creation Week”.  This pattern is repeated, in the 7 Land Sabbaths, that lead up to the Jubilee, of Liberty.

There are seven High Holy Sabbaths. Commemorating the Heavenly Father, and Son, working out Salvation, for all mankind. The first and last Day of Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement,the first Day of Tabernacles, and the Last Great Day of Tabernacles, are the seven High Holy Sabbath assemblies, of Yehwah.

 Humans have a tendency to express anger or hatred when there is a perceived injustice. The offended person may identify law as the basis for judging and condemning the transgressor. A wrongfully accused person may be convicted or hopefully proven innocent. 

  Opposition to lawlessness may produce intense emotions expressed as anger or hate. People that disobey the law; also "Hate the Law." A lawless society will "Hate a person that teaches obedience to the Law of Eternal Truth." The lawless will "Curse the Law" abiding. 

  Human societies proclaim enlightenment and devise governmental authority founded upon their limited perceptions of physical reality and personal autonomy. Self determination, independence and liberty become false gods. Moral relativism, Religiously declares freedom, while the "Eternal Covenant Laws are Despised and Rejected" as irrelevant. 

  Scientific theory becomes a god of delusion and politics is the art of lying. Emotional division and personal choice replaces the divine "Oneness of Spirit in Truth." Loving families and marriage between a man and woman becomes anathema to the societal lust for a prostitute and homosexual perversion. The "Curse of the Law" falls upon the innocent person that is Hated for proclaiming the "True Law of Love."

  A conundrum for Christianity exists in their interpretation of apostle Paul's statement:

 (Ga 3:13 NASB) {"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”}

ABRAHAM and YeHaWaH's PROMISE

Chris Kotsiopoulos
https://greeksky.gr
 This post began as a review of; Logos Bible software.com, presentation of a Bible study curriculum titled:

 "Abraham

 following God's

 promise".

Introduction: my first comment is a simple addition to the perspective; that students of Scripture are reforming and modeling their lives. As they learn from the attributes of the people that faithfully follow and obey the instruction of Yehwah Elohe.  Yehwah Logos revealed to Abraham, His image and likeness. The Word of Yehwah, Saving Love, is the Spiritual work, of Redemption and Salvation.

The story of Abraham is divided into eight chapters that draw out historical and cultural narratives. Evoking questions and emphasize thoughtful growth in faithfulness. The story flow is easy to read. The commentary is linked to old and New Testament Scripture references. Suggesting teaching principles for Bible students. The Logos.com serialization as presented required further research. Examining Traditionally held beliefs, by unlocking the chains of dogma, that promote doctrinal errors. This review is dedicated mainly to the addition of insights. Clarifying the Scriptural context relating to each chapter topic. I enjoy using the vast Logos research library, language lexicons, historical reference tools, and maps.  Walk with Abraham on the path to the, "Mysterious Promise".

John 14:6-7; Col 1:13-15; 16; Messiah Yeshua said, "I am the Way, Truth, and the Life". No one comes to the Father except through Yeshua.

(Jn 10:30; 37-38)  Yeshua said, "I am the Father are One". The Father is in Yeshua and Yeshua is in the Father.

(Jn 4:23-24; Ro 1:20; 1 Tim 1:17) The Father is Spirit and He is worshiped in Spirit and Truth.

(Jn 5:37;  Messiah Yeshua said, "no one has seen the Father except the Son". The Father is pure Spirit that is described as an all-consuming fire
(Dt  4:11-12; 13; 24; Isa 33:14; 15; 16).

Exodus 20:4; 5;6; No image or likeness of anything in all creation can represent the Father and it would be idolatrous worship of a false god. The Father is Spirit and does not resemble the created form of humans.

    The crucifixion, death and resurrection of the Messiah is the prophetic fulfillment of mankind's rejection of the Holy One. The perfect Oneness of Spirit with the Father, is revealed through the compassionate words of the Savior and Redeemer. Messiah spoke of forgiveness as He suffered searing pain and cruel mocking. The Heavenly Father drew near in the dark clouds that covered the light of the world  like a garment of deeply agonizing love. The Father touched His thorn pierced Son as He said, "Father unto you I commit my spirit." With a final shout, Messiah roared like a lion, "Yeshua","Yehawah is Salvation." The earth tremble and shook with intense emotion, stirring the hearts of recently dead Saints to life, and the soldiers cried out, "this is the Son of God”. (Dt 32:15; Isa 53:3; Jn 8:12; 28-29; 10:26; 30; 16:32; Zec 13:7; Lk 23:34; 35; 36-37; 38-39; Psa 22:7-9; 10-11; 22-23; 24; Lk 23:44-45; 46-47; Mt 27:50-51; 52-53; 54)

Osiris & Isis

Revelation 13:18 (Amos 5:26; Ac 7:43; Je 7:18; 44:17; 18; 19) The Number of the Beast is 666 and is the number of a man. The Prophet Daniel received wisdom and understanding from Eloheyem the Eternal. Daniel lived most of his life in Babylonian captivity.

 (Da 1:3; 4; 5-6; 17;18-19; 20-21) Daniel learned the Babylonian language and their sexagesimal mathematical system. The number 666 evolved mystical significance from earlier Sumerian and Akkadian culture that developed the Babylonian religion. Daniel remained faithful to [ אֱלֹהִים ] the True Eloheyem of Abraham and Moses. Moses recorded in the book of Genesis the significance of the 6th day was the creation of man in the image and likeness of Eloheyem. 

(Ge 1:26; 31; 2:17; 3:1; 4-5;4:7; 6:5; 6; 7-8; 9-10; 11-12; 13-14; ) The Great Flood of Noah's day did not remove human's desire to sin and rebel against the Eternal's laws.

LOST TRIBES of ISRAEL

https://greeksky.gr

Yeshua said, “I was sent to the lost sheep of Israel,” 

(Matt 15:24; 10:5-7; 17-18; 19-20; 23) Yeshua also instructed his disciples to preach the Good News of the Kingdom to the lost sheep of Israel. 

(Acts9:15-16; 26:5-6; 7-8) The apostle Paul was chosen to preach Salvation and Good News to Israel and the Gentiles. 

(Ro 15:20-21; 24) After Paul was freed from Roman prison he traveled through Spain. Was Paul's mysterious journey seeking the lost tribes of Israel? 

(Col 3:11) As Paul spread the Good News of salvation; he  considered the contrast between different people groups; the Greeks compared to the Jews who are circumcised and the uncircumcised barbarians are different from the Scythian who once were slaves but now are free. Who then; are the Scythian people?

(Jas 1:1)  The apostles were aware of the location of the missing tribes of Israel. James  addressed a letter to the 12 tribes scattered among the nations.

(Ge 32:12)Yehawah Eloheyem promised Abraham that his descendants would be like the sands of the sea. 
(Ge 22:17; 18) Who are the descendants of Jacob and where are the lost tribes of Israel today?

2 Corinthians 5:21; 2 Cor 5:21 NASB; 2 Cor 5:21 ESV; 2 Cor 5:21 KJV; variations in translations, attempt to conform the original Greek text, to agree with, christian theological dogma. To learn the truth, it is necessary to carefully read, the original language, while considering related scriptures.

When examining literary styles of authors. It is reasonable to assume, there are clear and logical similarities, in the thought patterns of communicators, in every era of history. It is important,, to ask analytical questions, when synthesizing documents, that may contain information, difficult to transfer. From an earlier style of writing, into a reasonable facsimile.

The mystery of the Eloheyem family is very great. John reveals in his gospel that Yeshua is the Eternal Logos. 

(Jn 1:1-3) Logos existed with the Heavenly Father and together; they created everything. 

(Jn 1:14)  Logos entered the physical creation by becoming human. It is revealed that he is the one and only Son who comes from the Father. (Jn 10:30) The Eloheyem family consisted of only two persons. So who or what is the Holy Spirit?

Yeshua revealed to His disciples many mysteries about the future plans of the Father.          (Mt 16: 27-28; 17:1-2; 3)  The disciples witnessed a vision of the Glorified Messiah; talking to Moses and Eli-Yeha-wu in the Kingdom. They later asked why do the scribes say Eli-Yeha must come first; (before the Kingdom comes???) Who is Eli-Yeha? Hebrew names contain a treasure of hidden information within a few words.

  Question: do human beings have an immortal soul? The topic of Eternal Life is throughout the Bible. When  the first man Adam was created he became a living being. Bible translators often use the modern word (soul) to substitute for the original languages. In the old testament Hebrew language describes Adam as a living creature (chey–yeha nephesh) which means a living being dependent upon breath (air). The New Testament Greek language uses the word psyche to describe the intellectual knowledge of self-awareness and free will to express the life in humans. The word soul is constructed from the Hebrew and Greek words that do not contain any reference to immortality.

   The Day of Atonement: Reveals the Eternal Creator's participation in the struggle of good against evil. Symbolism is used within the ritualistic animal sacrifices of Levitical Priestly Law. For symbolism to be properly understood there must be a clear association between the ritual performed in the Old Testament and the revealed truth defined in corresponding scriptural references. Many New Testament quotes portray atonement sacrificial imagery as identifiers of doctrinal prescriptions for salvation.
