Blasphemy leads to death

 

There are two blasphemies that are not acceptable to Heavenly Father and can lead to death, they are;

1) Blasphemy of His Name

2) Blasphemy of His Spirit (Holy Spirit).

Leviticus 24:16 ‘And he who blasphemes the Name of Yahuah shall certainly be put to death, and all the congregation certainly stone him, the stranger as well as the native. When he blasphemes the Name, he is put to death.

 

Matthew 12:31“Because of this I say to you, all sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven men.

 

Now this sounds like two different incidents but it is not exactly so! Let me explain. The Holy Spirit comes from the Heavenly Father whose Name is Yahuah, so the blasphemy is against one source which is Yahuah and His Spirit.

Each punishment is death.

What did Yahusha (Jesus) do that caused Him to be sentenced to death? The Pharisees and High Priest accused Yahusha of blasphemy and therefore was sentenced to death for blasphemy.

The Pharisees had a law at the time of Yahusha which prohibited anyone except the High Priest within the temple to use the Most High Creator's Name. Anyone using the Name of Yahuah was blaspheming according to the Pharisees. Yahusha used the Father's Name and by this He was found guilty and sentenced to death. So, the question must be asked: what is blasphemy of His Name and of the Holy Spirit?

The next few verses in Mark 14 we find, I believe Yahusha using the Father's Name. verse 61-64 Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed?” And Yahusha said, “I am, and you shall see the Son of Adam sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of the heaven.” And tearing his garments, the high priest said, “What further need do we have of witnesses? “You have heard the blasphemy!

 

Listen to what Yahusha says in John 10:33-36 The Jews answered Him, saying, “We do not stone You for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself Elohim.” Yahusha answered them, “Is it not written in your own Law, ‘I said, “You are elohim” ’? “If He called them elohim, to whom the word of Elohim came – and it is impossible for the Scripture to be broken – do you say of Him whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of Elohim’?

What the high priest and Pharisees did not accept because of their blindness is that they were actually speaking to the true Messiah and they just could not believe this.

How could He have blasphemed the Name when He was the Son of the Name!

He was the Word which was from the beginning.

In John 10:30 Messiah says this: “I and My Father are one.” This has the meaning of “unity.”

John 17:11 explains it more clearly; “And I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Set-apart Father, guard them in Your Name which You have given Me, so that they might be one, as We are.

 

In the next few messages, I will explain what the meaning of "Blasphemy of the Name" is!
