The heart of Yahuah

We must remember that when Messiah walked on this earth over 2000 years ago, His message and teachings came all from the Old Testament, the New Testament did not exist when He was here on earth.

The same for the apostles, they taught from the Old Testament scroll.

All the people that are mentioned in the New Testament from Stephen right through to Paul used the Old Testament (called the Tanakh in Hebrew) to teach the Word, they added the Good News of Messiah to their Teaching. All scripture reading came from the Old Testament.

If you want to know the Will of Yahuah and His son, you need to read the Old Testament, if you skip the Old Testament and only read the New Testament, you will not find all the truth and knowledge to grow.

The New Testament only came hundreds of years after the last apostle John died and these were mostly in form of letters which were then added to the scripture of the Old Testament to form part of the inspired Word of Yahauh. This all occurred in the Roman period.

There was a period between the apostle John and the Roman church that a certain sec called the Nazarenes of which the apostles were part of, followed the teachings of Messiah together with the old testament scripture and took the good news to everyone.

 2 Timothy 4:-17 and that from a babe you have known the Set-apart (Holy) Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for deliverance through belief in Messiah Yahusha (Jesus). All Scripture is breathed by Elohim and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for setting straight, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of Elohim might be fitted,

equipped for every good work.

What Holy scriptures was Timothy talking about? Could only have been the Tanakh (Old Testament).

1 Samuel 13:14 “But now, your reign is not going to stand. Yahuah shall seek for Himself a man after His own heart,..

Acts 13:22 “And having removed him, He raised up for them David as sovereign, to whom also He gave witness and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse (Yishai), a man after My own heart, who shall do all My desires.’

David knew Yahuah's heart.

Many of the verses that is written down in the New Testament comes directly out of the Old Testament and many people like Paul referenced the Old Testament verses.

To fully understand the Messiah's message in the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John we need to go back to the beginning and read/study the Old Testament about the promised Messiah, His purpose, His commands (Torah), His salvation and His judgement.

We cannot read the last chapter from a story book and expect to know the full story,  we need to read from the beginning to know the full story and get a clear picture. This is the same with the Word of Yahuah! If we want the full picture of His Kingdom, then we need to start reading at the beginning of His Word.

The people like Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul and Timothy were inspired by the Set-Apart (Holy) Spirit to proclaim His Word and the New Testament is their witness of the announcement of the true living Messiah given by the Holy Spirit.

Can we exclude the New Testament and only read the Old Testament? No, because then you will not hear the Good News of the Messiah, His return and His final judgement.

Timothy tells us in 2 Timothy 4:2 Proclaim the Word! Be urgent in season, out of season. Reprove, warn, appeal, with all patience and teaching.

All His Word, starting from Genesis (Old) until the last of Revelation (New). Once you have read/studied His Word with the guidance of the Holy Spirit can you and I understand the full picture of our Creator's heart.

This is the heart of Yahuah and the Messiah only did His Father's Will.
