A culturally relative approach to the historical Messiah – Letting the Prophets Speak.
Luke 6:37
King James Version (KJV)
37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:”
Amein, salvation from that which opposes the set-apart Word and Works of YHWH. HalleluYH, His ways help us purge what we need not carry; shalom (peace) in YHshua (YH’s salvation) :)
1 John 1:7
King James Version (KJV)
Many today teach that to achieve eternal salvation we need do nothing but to confess we believe in YHshua; in other words, we are cleansed of all our sins via Messiah’s shed blood. A Hebrew perspective says this:
“7 But if we walk in the light (His wisdom), as he is in the light (His wisdom), we have fellowship one with another, and the blood (life) of Jesus Christ (YHshua Messiah) his (YHWH’s) Son cleanseth us from all sin.”
When closely looking at what the text says, as we should, we learn first that in order to receive cleansing from all sin we must be what? walking in YHshua’s light (the Father’s Wisdom – the Word), second we learn that blood actually means life, which then naturally leads to this question, who’s light or life?, well no others than YHshua’s walk (life example), who walks in the light (the Father’s Wisdom – the Word); and third, that in doing this we are then cleansed of all our sin: Any other interpretation comes from man-made doctrine and what a Hebrew approach purges. Paraphrasing YHshua, “May Your (YHWH Elohim’s) Will (Word and Works) be done on earth (in us) as it is in heaven.”
A final thought:
John 14:12 (KJV)
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
May YH’s Will be done, in us as it is in YHshua, that we may all come together in fellowship, that we may all reap from His provision of peace, joy and eternal life. In YHshua’s Lead, Amein :)
Ecclesiastes 12:13
At the end of King Solomon’s life he had learned vanity (worthlessness) belonged to man. His conclusion? Keep YHWH’s wisdom and relinquish man’s. Amein, Amein!!!!!
King James Version (KJV)
“13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God (Elohim), and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”
2 Timothy 2:12-13
King James Version (KJV)
“12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.” In John 14:12 YHshua said, “if you believe in me you will do the works I do and greater things , for…. ” (paraphrasing). His mission? to suffer in obedience to the Father’s Word, that which he came to fulfill that we may live in the Father’s wisdom. To spell it out? to die to himself that others may live. May all our steps be blessed in YHWH, the Father, that YHshua (YH’s salvation) may live in us.
1 John 1:9
King James Version (KJV)
“9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
From the Hebrew /Aramaic perspective, before one confesses one’s sins there must be a qualifier, one must know what sin is – that we may then turn from it to YH’s cleansing.
Our YHshua said this: “(KJV)
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”
May YH’s cleansing be unto us all, in YHshua, Amein. :)
Psalm 40:8
King James Version (KJV)
“8 I delight to do thy will, O my God (Elohim): yea, thy law is within my heart.” BUT IS THERE MORE ?????!!!!!
For those of us that have been taught that YHshua’s salvation (the law) will be written within our hearts via spirit? – Let’s allow David a chance to complete his broader message, one which is seldom ever included today.
Let’s take a look at David’s first teaching in Psalms 1:1-3:
“1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord (YHWH); and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Amein, Amein, may salvation be for us all. In YHshua’s words, “May Your (YHWH Elohim’s) Will (Word and Works) be done on earth (in us) as it is in heaven.” If we do not digest the Word how then can we receive it in our hearts!!!!! May YH’s Will be ours, in YHshua :)
Matthew 25:31-34
King James Version (KJV)
“31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy (set-apart) angels (messengers) with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father (YHWH), inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:” Amein, Amein.
1 John 4:2
King James Version (KJV)
“2 Hereby know ye the Spirit (Manifested expression) of God (Elohim): Every spirit (manifested expression) that confesseth (reveres /praises outwardly) that Jesus (YHshua or YH’s salvation) Christ (the Messiah) is come in the flesh (life) is of God (Elohim):”
HalleluYH :) Our expressed walks will define that which defines YHshua or not; so then, should we not ask, “are we then manifesting his expression in life?” If we are, we are then of Elohim :) A Hebrew perspective of scripture, Amein.

Revelation 21:7
King James Version (KJV)
“7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God (Elohim), and he shall be my son.” HalleluYH!!!!!
Paraphrasing YHshua, “May Your (YHWH Elohim) Will (Word and Works) be done on earth (in us) as it is in heaven.” YHshua said this also in John 14:12 (NIV):
“12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” Defining what the Father means to overcome, the son says, we who do as he did (live in obedience to the Father YHWH) will do greater things (will overcome and be called His son). HalleluYH :)
John 12:25
King James Version (KJV)
“25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.” Note that YHshua conditions, “hating ones’ life” by adding “in this world”….. when he says to loose ones’ life “in this world” he is telling us not to live in the ways of the world, which is the same as saying, we should die to the ways of the world; for not to, is to walk in the ways of the living dead. Amein, Amein.
Luke 16:10
King James Version (KJV)
“10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.” Amein, Amein!!!!!
Ecclesiastes 10:8
King James Version (KJV)
“8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.” Amein, Amein.
