In my previous message I wrote of why Messiah was sentand, in this document, it will be to whom this message of Messiah was given.
Messiah clearly said in Matthew 15:24 that he was only sent to Israel.
And He (Messiah) answering, said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Yisra’el.”
Messiah also clearly gave a command to the 12 disciples to go only to Israel and not to the gentiles (heathen).
Matthew 10:5-6 Yahusha sent these twelve out, charging them, saying do not go into the way of the heathen, and do not go into a Samaritan city. But rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Israel did not “lose their identity,” but are wandering about the world. They were scattered and became many different nations as was promised to Abraham (His seed will be as the sand of the sea).
Different people (10 tribes of Israel) from various lands were in Jerusalem at the time of Yahusha as we read in Acts 4:26-27.
‘The sovereigns of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against Yahuah and against His Messiah’ (read Psalms 2:1-2). “For truly, in this city there were gathered together against Your set-apart Servant Yahusha, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the gentiles and the people of Yisra’el.
People of Israel were there in the city.
Did Messiah say in Matthew 28:19 to go to all the nations of the world and make them disciples and baptize them all?
Are the gentiles (heathens) included in these nations. Cannot be as Messiah said he was sent only to Israel and told the disciples to only go to Israel.
So, Matthew 28:19 is meant only for Israel. This is different from what the Christian church teaches.
How did Messiah speak to the people when he was here on earth?
He spoke in parables.
Matthew 13:34-35 Yahusha spoke all these things in parables to the crowds, and He did not speak to them without a parable, so might be fulfilled the thing which was spoken through the prophet who said. "I will open my mouth with parables and will bring out secrets that were from before the foundation of the world." Psalms 78:2-3I open my mouth in a parable; I utter riddles of old, which we have heard and known, for our fathers have related them to us.
Only those of the seed of Israel would understand the parables spoken by Yahusha. Hear what Messiah says in Mark 4:10-12.
And He said to them (disciples), to you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of Yahuah. But to these, those outside, all things are being given in parables, that seeing they may see and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand, lest they should be converted, and the sins be forgiven to them.
The ultimate purpose of hearing the Word is to turn and then be healed of the greatest sickness: sin! In Isaiah 6:9-12 we read that people ears and eyes were closed for the understanding of the word until a certain time. It would be until the time Messiah came that peoples ears and eyes were closed. Remember Father Yahuah told Moses of the prophet He would send that people will hear.
Many will not hear or understand the parable as they are following another god.
We read in Micah that Yahuah says most people walk in a name of their god but the people who understand the word will walk in His true Name.
Micah 4:5 For all the peoples walk, each one in the name of his Elohim; but we will walk in the name of Yahuah our Elohim forever and ever.
This verse confirms many people will follow another god and maybe even mix truth with falsehood but still be following another god.
David says that the word is only declared to Israel and not to any other nation. Psalms 147:19-20 He declares His Word to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel. He has not done so with any other nation; and they have not known His judgments. HalleluYah! Read also Romans 2:20 and Romans 3:2.
To whom does the worship belong?
Romans 9:4-5 who are Yisra’elites (Israelites), whose is the adoption, and the esteem, and the covenants, and the giving of the Torah, and the worship, and the promises, whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Messiah according to the flesh, who is over all, Elohim-blessed forever.
The worship belongs to Israel only.
But Paul also says in verse 6-7 However, it is not as though the word of Elohim has failed. For they are not all Yisra’el who are of Yisra’el, neither are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham. Paul is making the point that simply being born an Israelite does not make you a covenant child as out of all those who left Egypt with Moses only 2 people over 20 years old actually entered covenant relationship with Yahuah and entered the promised Land.
The path is narrow and only few find it. This would give us an idea who will understand (hear) and do the word of Yahuah. This is why Messiah spoke in parables so those who have ears to hear and eyes to see will understand.
So, in summary.
1) Messiah was sent to Israel only.
2) The disciples were commanded to go to Israel only.
3) Messiah spoke in parables.
4) So that those who have ears would hear and do.
5) As the covenant was made to Israel only.
6) The covenant people will walk only in the Name of the true Elohim.
7) Yahuahs Word, His laws and right-rulings are declared to Israel only.
8) Paul confirms this, the commands (Torah), the covenants, the worship and promises belong to Israel.
The Christian church that comes from Rome teaches something totally different.
Only those who have ears to hear will understand.
