The Secret

Matthew 15:25 and Matthew 10:7-8: Messiah came only to redeem the lost sheep of the House of Israel. He sent His disciples only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel.

The promise of redemption and the rejoining of the whole House of Ya’cob (Jacob) are found in such passages as Jeremiah 31:31-34 – speaking of the “renewed covenant.”

This is the main subject of the Word – the redemption of the whole House of Ya’cob (Israel)!

Ezekiel 37:15-28 and Jeremiah 32:41, for examples, give us the passion of the heart of Yahuah (Heavenly Father)-the reason why Messiah came--to gather together into one family all the tribes of Ya’cob (Jacob).

Therefore, during times to come, as Jeremiah 30:7 tells us, all of Ya’cob’s family will go through the time of “Ya’cob’s (Jacob's) troubles.” It is not just Judah’s troubles. The purging of the whole House of Ya’cob--all the family of Yahuah, and those who have joined the family by faith--is imminent.

The message of salvation is called a secret because Yahuah hid Messiah’s redemption-salvation of all the tribes, and who-so-ever will (with conditions) from satan and his demons -- the evil, sinful, rebellious, disobedient, wicked, and violent, along with all of the descendants of Ya’cob who have aligned with satan through the ages.

I Corinthians 4:1 Let a man regard us as servants of Messiah and trustees of the secrets of Elohim. Do you treasure and guard your salvation? Are you sharing this eternally valuable secret with those lost ones He brings to you? Are you reaching out with this message which is for all of His servants? If you are keeping it to yourself, think of the day you stand before the Savior who died for you! Not sharing the salvation of Yahusha (Jesus) with the “lost” can be a form of “denying Him,” “hiding your light under a bushel basket,” or being “ashamed” of Him.

I Corinthians 15:51: This speaks of the secret/mystery of the resurrection of the just--of the earthly body becoming immortal at His coming--at the “last trumpet,” when He descends, death is swallowed up in victory!

Again, the secret has to do with our total redemption – spirit, soul (mind/emotions/will), and body.

Colossians 1:26-27: “…the secret which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His set-apart ones, to whom Elohim desired to make known what are the riches of the esteem of this secret among the nations, which is Messiah, through His Spirit in you, the hope of glory…”

Colossians 4:3: “…praying at the same time also for us, that Elohim would open to us a door for the Word, to speak the secret of Messiah, for which I am also in chains.”

Amos 3:7: “For the Master Yahuah does nothing unless He first reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.”

As we find in Scripture, the revelation of Messiah’s redemption begins in Genesis 3:15, and continues all the way through the Old Testament, through the words of His prophets!

He just hid the complete revelation for good reason! The secret of the ages that Elohim kept back, because of His enemies, but hid in the words of the Prophets, was about the salvation of Messiah Yahusha!

Soon, as the Word reveals, people will refuse to repent. As with Esau, the “gift of repentance” will be removed from those perishing. (Hebrews 12:16-17) They will refuse to acknowledge Yahuah as Elohim, as the Creator, as the means of salvation - (Revelation 9:20-21; 16:11).

Are you doing all you can to proclaim the salvation of Yahusha while we have a little time left?
