Answering difficult questions

 Many have been asking questions which are difficult in its nature but there is a clear understanding with the Ruach guidance which can help us understand these.

The questions asked are:

1. Why did Yahusha pray ?

2. Why does Yahusha not know the day and hour?

3.  Who is His Alahym He says in Rev 3:12 and other places?

In this video I have attempted to answer all these 3 questions which will help us see a scriptural understanding.

Answer to 1st question: 

The sacrificial offerings criteria failed because animals didn’t have in them the capability to plead for the guilt of the worshiper when they laid down their lives, also they didn’t lay it down of their own self, they were slaughtered and that’s why Shaul says in Hebrews it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin. 

Yahusha laid down his life of His own free will. 

Joh 10:18 “No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to receive it again. This command I have received from My Father.”  

Heb 10:4 For it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.  

Heb 12:24  and to יהושע the Mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling which speaks better than the blood of Heḇel. 

Human blood speaks as Hebel’s blood figuratively called out for vengeance. 

Yahuah told Qayin Gen 4:10 And He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.  

Animal blood has no capability of pleading on behalf of the worshiper. 

 Then why the sacrifice of an animal? The Torah was given as a school master to lead Mashiyach .

Heb 10:5 Therefore, coming into the world, He says, “Slaughtering and meal offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me. Heb 10:6 “In ascending offerings and offerings for sin You did not delight. Heb 10:7 “Then I said, ‘See, I come – in the roll of the scroll it has been written concerning Me – to do Your desire, O Elohim.’ ” 

A body you have prepared for Me was written in the roll of the scroll. 

Psa 65:2 To You who hears all prayer, all flesh comes.  

Hence, if in a body, the body has flesh, it has to be subject to the decree that “To you who hears all prayer, all flesh comes” 

To Adam Yahuah said Gen 3:19 “By the sweat/zeya H2188 of your face you are to eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you return.”  

Luke22:44 Then the bonds of death came upon Him and He continued to pray fervently. His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the earth. it came so, that He wrestled with death) 

Adam was cursed that by the sweat of his face he would eat bread until he returns to the ground for he was made from dust and into dust he will return. Yahusha known as the last Adam (1Cor 15:45) by His fervent prayer released the curse of not seeing the enemy. 

Zeya זעה H2188 has the root word ‘za זע’ which zayin is a pictograph of a weapon and ayin is the eye. Combined these mean ‘weapon seen’. Adam had no ability for spiritual warfare, Yahusha who came in the likeness of Adam & accomplished the warfare on his behalf. Rom 5:14 says Adam was a type of Him i.e. Mashiyach who was to come. 

1Co 15:45 And so it has been written, “The first man Aḏam became a living being, the last Aḏam a life-giving Spirit.  

 When we turn to Psalms 139 closely Dawid begins the Psalm as

Psa 139:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O Yahuah, thou hast searched me, and known.

The phrase to the chief musician in Hebrew is ‘la ma natsach’ למנצח and Asaph was the recorder as Dawid gave the Psalms he wrote to Asaph the seer who was the custodian of the Psalm for a repurpose in worship. 

1Ch 16:7 And on that day Dawiḏ first gave thanks to יהוה by the hand of Asaph and his brothers: But Asaph which in Hebrew means ‘gatherer’ H623 אספ Was not the receiver of worship, it was Yahusha concealed who was at the receiving end until that Psalm became a melody in our hearts to worship the Adon as Shaul says singing Pslams, hymns and spiritual songs making melody in your heart to the Adon.

 

Eph 5:19  speaking to each other in psalms and songs of praise and spiritual songs, singing and striking the strings in your heart to the Master, 

Eph 5:20 giving thanks always for all to Elohim the Father, in the Name of our Master יהושע Messiah, 

 

So just as Yahuah was in a transition to be manifest in a body prepared, until then the Levvim who were appointed were the gatherers to sing.

Dawid aligned the divisions of these priests once the ark of the covenant came to rest. He made divisions of them as to who would be in the sacrificing positions, gatekeepers, musicians, ministers over grains and bread offerings etc. These melodies written would find the intended focus of worship i.e. Yahusha.

Now when we read the first verse of Psalms 139 Dawid says “O Yahuah you have searched me and known” 

The word for searched should be actually translated as ‘examined’ because the word there is ‘chaqar’ חקר H2713 and has the root words chaq חק which means ‘a decree’ and ‘qar’ קר which means call. 

The examination would be by calling certain people to see for any blemish and this was in a decree which chief priests, scribes, Torah teachers, Romans and even Pontius Pilate fell into line as they all examined Him but didn’t find Him guilty and therefore the Sanhedrin raised false witnesses against Him to convict Him.

Pilate brought Him in a purple robe and crown of thorns and said “Behold the Man!”

 

Joh 19:4  And Pilate went outside again, and said to them, “See, I am bringing Him out to you, to let you know that I find no guilt in Him.” 

Joh 19:5 Then יהושע came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!”  

After His resurrection He was examined by His disciples as He showed them the wounds and the nail prints and put their fingers into and Thomas confessed “My Adon and My Aluahym “

 

Joh 20:27 Then He said to T’oma, “Bring your finger here, and see My hands. And bring your hand and put it into My side – and do not be unbelieving, but believing.” 

Joh 20:28 And T’oma answered and said to Him, “My ADON and my Elohim!”  

 At the tomb He told Mary from Magdala not to touch Him as He has not yet ascended to the Father.

 

Joh 20:16  יהושע said to her, “Miryam!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). 

Joh 20:17 יהושע said to her, “Do not hold on to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father. But go to My brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My Elohim and your Elohim.’ ”  

That day was the next day after Sabbath early morning when in the morning sacrifice the priests would waive the first fruits offering in the temple and He would be the fulfilment in that ascending offering once and for all.

 

Lev 23:10  “Speak to the children of Yisra’ěl, and you shall say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest. 

Lev 23:11 ‘And he shall wave the sheaf before יהוה, for your acceptance. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest waves it.  

So, the same evening on the morrow after the Sabbath He asked His disciples to examine His wounds as He fulfilled the Torah of the first fruits offerings. 

Joh 20:19 When therefore it was evening on that day, day one of the week, and when the doors were shut where the taught ones met, for fear of the Yehuḏim, יהושע came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace to you.

Joh 20:20 And having said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The taught ones therefore rejoiced when they saw the Master.  

Post an animal sacrifice, a portion was kept for the priests with the grain offerings which only had to be eaten in the set apart place but Yahusha had suffered outside the gate and represented the heavenly pattern in fulfilment without being a part of the internal temple sacrifices or offerings. He only observed the time periods to have the fulfilment. That is why He told Mary not to touch Him as He has not yet ascended to the Father. There was further counting of the Omer to Shavuot/Pentecost only for a time fulfilment and not that Yahusha was part of the sacrifices within the temple, remember, Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire but a body you have prepared for Me. The bodies of the beasts were burnt outside in the valley which he often quoted as Gehenna where their worm does not die. He saw no corruption and the disciples touching His wounds was a test that He has not seen any corruption. While Psalms 139:1 seems to be on a surface level saying that Yahuah has examined Dawid and known/yada ידע him, in the Hebrew word yada ידע we see the eye is the lamp of the body and Yahuah saw within Himself His transition to a completion of the sacrifice before and after its examination and the chief musician now was at the receiving end of the worship and the chief musician נצח is Yahusha in whose office the Levvim priesthood stood as a custodian of the Malkitsedeq priest. Until He got there to the receiving end, in every way as the sacrifice being examined and, in a body, He had to pray and be subject to every decree He Himself made. 

The Hebrew word for King is Melek מלך where mal מל means speak and lak לך means walk.

The Hebrew word for Messenger is Malak מלאך The word Lak לאך is more elaborative in Malak and means ‘One who walks for another’ The King gave the words/mal מל to walk /lakלך And the same King מלך as the Messenger מלאך of the Covenant in those words/mal walked for us/lak לאך

Why did Kepha say in Acts 2 that Dawid is dead and his tomb is with us until this day and Shaul to Antioch preached Dawid saw corruption? 

Act 2:25 “For Dawiḏ says concerning Him, ‘I saw יהוה before me continually, because He is at my right hand, in order that I should not be shaken.

Act 2:26 ‘For this reason my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad, and now my flesh shall also rest in expectation, 

Act 2:27 because You shall not leave my being in She’ol, nor shall You give Your Lovingly-committed One to see corruption. 

Act 2:28 ‘You have made known to me the ways of life, you shall fill me with joy in Your presence.’ 

Act 2:29 “Men and brothers, let me speak boldly to you of the ancestor Dawiḏ, that he died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 

Act 13:36 “For Dawiḏ, indeed, having served his own generation by the counsel of Elohim, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption, 

The Yahudim believed that Dawid would come again as the Messiah to save them from their enemies and rule forever over the 12 tribes. The emissaries were showing that Dawid saw corruption so the examination was not of Dawid but of Mashiyach who didn’t see corruption and lives forever.

Psalms 139 further down speaks of gestation 

Ps139:13 For You acquired or nested/qanah קנה H7069 my kidneys or inwards parts/kalyath כלית H3629; You boothed/sakan סכנ H5526 me in my mother’s womb

Ps139:15 My bones/atsmi עצמיH6108 were not hidden/kachad כחד H3582 from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought/raqam רקם H7551 in the depths of the earth;

Ps139:16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance/galmi גלמי; H1564 and in Your scroll/saphar ספר H5612 were all written the days that were formed for, no/lo לא one/achadאחד H259 was in them. 

David is describing himself being woven in his mother’s womb. Kidneys was an element of the organ of an animal offered in the sacrifice. Hence, when it says “For you have acquired my kidneys or inward parts” it shows the acceptance of Yahusha’s innermost being for us as a sacrifice which came concealed in the revelation of Him in gestation. 

Exo 29:12  and take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the slaughter-place with your finger, and pour all the blood beside the base of the slaughter-place. 

Exo 29:13 “And you shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, and the appendage on the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the slaughter-place.  

The same path Yahuah took in transitioning into the body prepared for Him. While the conception is the only difference as Dawid was conceived by his father’s seed, Yahusha was conceived by the power of the Ruach ha Qodesh. The process of gestation remained the same post conception when the child is woven in the womb. The word ‘galmi’ גלמי H1564 is used only once in scripture and means ‘fetus’ where ‘gal’ means something round. The child is nested /qanah קנה with its inwards parts as in a booth, being in its mother’s womb and yet its bones when formed were not hidden from Him when made in secret and skilfully wrought in the depths of the earth. The word ‘raqam’ translated as ‘skillfully wrought’ has the root words ‘ram’ which means ‘many’ and ‘qam’ which means ‘rise’ & ‘raq’ which means ‘thin/lean’. The picture is of thread by thread (many) the sinews are woven to form every organ and structure in a body. No one can see this except the eyes of the Ruach who is describing through Dawid the likeness of Mashiyach in a body woven as his, for He would come in through his lineage. Dawid further lets us know that in a scroll were written the days that the body was formed while nothing yet existed. (Ps 139:16). The word ‘yastar יצר’ translated as ‘formed’ is the same word Strong’s H3334 which means ‘to be in distress/to suffer’ 

Psa 139:16 Your eyes saw my unformed body. And in Your book all of them were written, The days they were formed יצר H3335, While none was among them.  

This shows us that the scroll in its decrees had concealed and was written the days of the sufferings of Mashiyach while He was not yet achad/One in a body. When Dawid understood the promise made to him in a decree, He thanks Alahym for His thoughts towards him. The crux of the matter being Dawid understood that he will be raised to life in Mashiyach and can be seen in his confession “When I awake, I am still with You!” Ps139:17 How precious are Your thoughts to me, O El! How vast is the sum of them! Ps139:18 If I should count them, they are more than the sand. When I awake, I am still with You. 

Second question “Why does He not know the time and the hour?”

The Day is in reference to the Day of Yahuah 

Mrk 13:30 “Truly, I say to you, this generation shall by no means pass over until all this takes place.

Mrk 13:31 “The heaven and the earth shall pass over/ (Greek: parerchomai which means ‘come forth’ & Hebrew: abar עבר which means cross over) but My words shall not pass over (Greek: parerchomai which means ‘come forth’ & Hebrew: abar עבר which means cross over) It’s like a boundary to the Promised land where the generation of the covenanted ones pass over with His New Covenant words related to the New Creation but His words will not pass over until it’s fulfilled. 

Mrk 13:32 “But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not even the messengers in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 

The Day of Yahuah was placed in a transition in Yahusha’s body who in Sonship who would find its fulfilment when He walks to the completion of it. He says this generation will not pass over till all this takes place. 

What is the generation is he talking about? 

Gen 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that יהוה Elohim made earth and heavens.

He uses Heaven and earth in Mark 13:31 which is the spiritual pattern fulfilment in Himself which will pass over but the earthy represented by earth and the heavens will be dissolved by His words will not pass over. (The earth and the heavens are silent in His quote here for His remnant to understand). 

Doesn’t it say He will roll the sky as a scroll?

 

Heb 1:10  And, “You, Master, did found the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. 

Heb 1:11  “They shall perish, but You remain. And they shall all grow old like a garment, 

Heb 1:12 and like a mantle You shall fold them up, and they shall be changed. But You are the same, and Your years shall not fail. 

Being in the body fashioned as us and, in a transition, he waited for the time period and the hour of arrival by decrees and hence, chose not to know in subjection to a requirement that He should be in every way as we are without being a God man in the flesh as Trinitarians pose Him. Yet He didn’t lose the underlying substance He carried in the body that qualified Him for demons to recognize him that He is the Son of Alahym and He Himself could claim equality to His first estate which He did to distinguish Himself in the order He is now. 

Php 2:6 who, being in the form of Elohim, did not regard equality with Elohim a matter to be grasped, 

Php 2:7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, and came to be in the likeness of men.

Php 2:8 And having been found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, death even of a stake. 

Therefore Mark 13:31 is better understood when compared to verse 30 Mrk 13:30 “Truly, I say to you, this generation shall by no means pass away till all this takes place.

Mrk 13:31 “The heaven and the earth shall pass over, but My words shall by no means pass over italics “till all this takes place.” italics closed

 

3rd Question: Who is His Aluah in Rev 3:12 

Rev 1:1   Revelation of יהושע Messiah, which Elohim gave him to show His servants what has to take place with speed. And He signified it by sending His messenger to His servant Yoḥanan, 

Many think that the Revelation of Yahusha was given to Yahusha, I heard one Unitarian once say this. The Revelation of Yahusha was given to Yahuchanan and was signified by sending a Messenger who was sent to Yahuchanan and it also records Yahuchanan mistook Him to be Yahusha at times and tried to worhip him but the Messenger told Him “See, do not do it! I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers who possess the witness of יהושע. Worship Elohim! “ 

Rev 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “See, do not do it! I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers who possess the witness of יהושע. Worship Elohim! For the witness of יהושע is the spirit of prophecy. 

Rev 22:8 And I, Yoḥanan, saw and heard these matters. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the messenger who showed me these matters.

Rev 22:9  And he said to me, “See, do not! For I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who are guarding the words of this book. Worship Elohim.” 

So, it’s very clear with these scriptures right before us that it was the Messenger who was in an esteemed state as Mashiyach in visions gave Yahuchanan the revelation in a second voice / being in a second estate. The Messenger on behalf of Mashiyach in a vision said Rev 3:12 “He who overcomes, I shall make him a supporting post in the Dwelling Place of My Elohim, and he shall by no means go out. And I shall write on him the Name of My Elohim and the name of the city of My Elohim, the new Yerushalayim, which comes down out of the heaven from My Elohim, and My new Name. The signification of the Messenger has to be decoded in the opening of the seals and the unfolding of the first and second estate of the same Alahym in two different realms, one at the end of giving of decrees and one at the receiving end of the decrees fulfilled in New Yerushalayim bearing the new name in the new creation order. The language is similar to what He told Miriam and we must understand the context of examination of His body, He had not ascended to the Father to be unified in the same esteem He had before the world was as seen in John 17:5 

Joh 20:17 יהושע said to her, “Do not hold on to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father. But go to My brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My Elohim and your Elohim.’ ” 

Joh 17:5 “And now, esteem Me with Yourself, Father, with the esteem which I had with You before the world was.  

The Messenger acting on behalf of Yahusha with a signified revelation received about Him, is unfolding to the assemblies that He acts on their behalf in their transition as the verse begins with Rev 3:12 “He who overcomes, 

1Jn 5:5 Who is the one who overcomes the world but he who believes that יהושע is the Son of Elohim? 

1Jn 5:6 This is the One that came by water and blood: יהושע Messiah, not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the Truth. 

It takes us to the gestation process to see that we have to be in His likeness in everyway to move to New Yerushalayim.

 

Rev 3:12  “He who overcomes, I shall make him a supporting post in the Dwelling Place of My Elohim, and he shall by no means go out. And I shall write on him the Name of My Elohim and the name of the city of My Elohim, the renewed Yerushalayim, which comes down out of the heaven from My Elohim, and My renewed Name. 

Rev 3:13 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.” ’  

Remember, Psalms 40:6 says “You have opened my hearing” & Heb 10:5 says “but a body you have prepared for Me” 

Psa 40:6 Slaughtering and meal offering You did not desire; You have opened my hearing/azanayam אזנים; Ascending offering and sin offering You did not ask for. 

Heb 10:5 Therefore, coming into the world, He says, “Slaughtering and meal offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me.  

Hence, if the next verse in Rev 3:13 says “He who has an ear, let him hear…” is the still small voice of the ruach in the letter just as Yahusha after quoting every parable said “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

Luk 14:35It is not fit for land, nor for manure; they throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
