What is my goodly heritage?

Jer 3:19 But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.

We have heard the term 'Father' and many have been calling on Alahim as their  Father including the Jews. 

 Joh 8:41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even Alahim.

The Jews were confident of the Abrahamic covenant in calling Abraham their father and through the Covennant made with him called Alahim as their father.Messiah affirms that they are Abraham's seed but also calls them as children of the devil. Is there a contradiction? How can one be a son of Abraham as well as the son of the devil?

First let us look at those scriptures and examine how one can be a son of Abraham and yet be a son of the devil.

Joh 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

Joh 8:39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Yahusha saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

With the reading of the scriptures above  it can be understood that anyone could call Alahim his father but it is Alahim who chooses whose Father he will be. If you notice carefully in John 8:41 the Jews claimed they were NOT BORN OF FORNICATION and yet they were children of fornication. Let's see how:

Ne 9:7 Thou art the YAHUAH the Alahim, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;

The name Abram comes from the root words 'awb' which means 'father' and 'ruwm' which means 'high/exalted'. So 'Abram' means high father and 'Abraham' means 'father of multitude'

Before Abraham was chosen for salvation he was an exalted/lifted up/set up father but had no children. He dwelt in Ur of Chaldees i.e. BABYLON

Ge 15:6 And he believed in the YAHUAH; and he counted it to him for righteousness.7 ¶ And he said unto him, I am the Yahuahh that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

By the promise Alahim made to him that in his seed all nations shall be blessed and he believed Alahim on his promise was accounted for his righteousness

Ge 17:4 ¶ As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
 5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

Paul tells us who this SEED was

Ga 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Messiah.
 17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of Alahim in Messiah, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
 18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but Alahim gave it to Abraham by promise.

Coming back to the Jews who called Abraham as their father and through him acknowledged Alahim as their Father yet there were children of the devil because they made their boast in their CARNAL HERITAGE. Caanan was the place they looked for as their dwelling place forever and their CARNAL HERITAGE took them back to Chaldees i.e. Babylon from where Abraham was called out to sojourn with Alahim. If they were true children of Alahim they would have behaved as Abraham did and that's exactly what Messiah was telling them in John 8

Joh 8:39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Yahusha saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

Bible tells us that Abraham was a sojourner. He came out of Babylon. He left his carnal heritage to sojourn with Alahim for he saw his reward i.e Messiah.

Joh 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

Ge 15:1 ¶ After these things the word of the Yahuah came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

This is when Abraham saw Messiah by his eyes of faith and was glad. He looked forward to the goodly heritage and sojourned in the land of promise as in a strange country dwelling in tabernacles with Issac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.

Heb 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

 9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

 10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is Alahim.

 11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

 12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

Furthermore in the same chapter the writer of Hebrews tells us that these all died in faith not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. Verse 15: If they would have been mindful of the country from where they came out they might have had opportunity to have returned there. Yes, Abraham could have returned back to Babylon from where Alahim called him but he was mindful of the heavenly country, he was mindful of the Covenant of Alahim, he was mindful of the reproach of Messiah for he saw Messiah as his exeedingly and great reward.

Heb 11: 13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

 14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

 16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore Alahim is not ashamed to be called their Alahim: for he hath prepared for them a city.

Lu 10:24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

It is sad that those who claim that they have fled Mystery Babylon seek a carnal heritage in this world. There are so many claiming the blessing of Abraham without understanding what the blessing of Abraham means.

Ga 3:13 Messiah hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Yahusha Messiah; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

The blessing of Abraham is to receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

The Promise of the Spirit is the heavenly country and not an earthly inheritance.

Joh 8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

 Joh 18:36 Yahusha answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Messiah is our goodly heritage, our exceedingly and great reward. You cannot love Alahim and mammon.Doctrines which are man made leads you to Babylon and the doctrine of Messiah leads you to your true heritage i.e. NEW CREATION.

Mt 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve Alahim and mammon.

Ga 6:14 But Alahim forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Yahuah Yahusha Messiah, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

 15 For in Messiah Yahusha neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

'Abram' is an exalted father of Babylon who was childless and then saved by grace and named of Alahim as 'Abraham' which means father of a multitude/nations. By calling Alahim your father, he doesn't become your father, the faith that you display shows your heritage.

Ro 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of Alahim.

Ps 16:5 Yahuahh is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

 6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

If we are true children of Abraham we will be like him. A true sojourner looking for the heavely country in which righteousness dwells whereas carnal children live DELICIOUSLY and are part of Mystery Babylon who says " I sit a queen, and am no widow"

Re 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

The Jews saw their carnal heritage Canaan and were satisfied with it. They thought they would dwell in Canaan forever.

Ps 49:11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.

This is the time of separation of wheat and tares and what is is man's heart is manifested as the foundations of the world are discovered at the rebuke of Alahim

Ps 18:15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O YAHUAH, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

 16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

The waters spiritually stand for peoples/multitudes

Ps 144:7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;

The call to come out of Babylon is not physical in nature but spiritual and we all need to examine our hearts and introspect to see what do I see as my goodly heritage. The carnal senses want to see worshippers around you in a church, a throne, music, emotional support or fellowship, a good burial  etc but Abraham was ALL ALONE when he was called of Alahim out of Babylon. He did not mingle himself with the world and none of the children of Alahim did in all ages. They separated themselves from strange children who seemed to be children of Abraham but were in reality the children of devil. They lived as pilgrims and sojourners on the earth.

Ro 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

The promise of Abraham was the promise of the Spirit through faith. The heavenly country.

1Jo 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

The Revelation of Messiah which Alahim gave him to show unto his servants-Rev 1:1

 Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Yahusha Messiah, which Alahim gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

When we read Rev 1:1 the one thing would definitely make the reader wonder why would Alahim give Messiah a Revelation of himself to show unto his servants? A Unitarian response to the above verse that I have read is that the Word was made flesh in Messiah and as he grew up as a child Alahim revealed his plan to him and his role as a sacrifical lamb and the glory to follow him for his obedience. On a surface level this may appease to carnal senses but Alahim's word is a spiritual book and hence one must be spiritually alive to understand spiritual things and compare them with spiritual things.
Many people view book of Revelation as 'a book of prophecy' because they only see future events in the book. What man fails to see is that the entire Bible is a book of prophecy and the 'spirit of prophecy' was in the prophets who prophesied beforehand of the sufferings of Messiah, and the glory that should follow.

 1Pe 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Messiah, and the glory that should follow.

There is a need to correct the misunderstanding of the word 'prophecy'. The dictionaries in the world interpret prophecy as 'a prediction of what will happen in the future' but a biblical interpretation of prophecy is stated in Rev 19:10 ' the testimony of Yahusha is the spirit of prophecy'

 Re 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Yahusha: worship Alahim: for the testimony of Yahusha is the spirit of prophecy.

This spirit of prophecy is not only a prediction of future events but a sealing of Messiah in prophecy as all the law and the prophets speak and testify of him

 Joh 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him (Messiah) hath Alahim the Father sealed.

Messiah being sealed in imagery, parabolic language, signs, sybolisms, signification is PROPHECY. 

Pr 25:2 ¶ It is the glory of Alahim to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

A surface reader will never understand who Messiah is because he is sealed in prophecy and therefore Rev 1:1 and many other scriptures are interpreted carnally because unless Messiah reveals himself by unsealing himself to those whom he chooses to draw near man will never understand prophecy.

Let's now move along to understand what it means that the Revelation of Yahusha Messiah which Alahim gave him to show unto his servants:

To understand this we must compare the 2 Covenants and 2 Mediators

Two covenants:

Heb 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of Alahim when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
 6 ¶ But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Yahuah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Yahuah.

 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Yahuah; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a Alahim, and they shall be to me a people:

Exodus 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of Alahim.

When we read Heb 8:5-10 and Exodus 31:18 we spiritually understand that the first covenant came on 2 tablets of stone written by the finger of Alahim and the second covenant came on 2 tablets MIND AND HEART still written by the finger of Alahim. Alahim tells us that the new covenant will not be like the old one "BECAUSE THEY CONTINUED NOT IN MY COVENANT" Heb 8:5

Ga 4:22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
 24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
 25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

 26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Those who couldn't see Messiah sealed in prophecy are the sons of the bondwoman and are in bondage wrapped in carnal ordinances whereas those who can see Messiah sealed in prophecy are part of the Jerusalem from above.
On the NT side people view these passages to relate them to Jews who did not believe in Messiah without realizing that its speaking of themselves because they do not understand the imageries, signs, parabolic language, symbolisms and the signification and take scriptures at face value. The Jerusalem which now is which Paul speaks of in Gal 4: 25 is Mystery Babylon because this is a kingdom which existed within Alahim's kingdom and here the 'spirit of prophecy' lies silenced on it's streets and this city is called Sodom and EGYPT where our Yahuah Messiah was crucified.

Re 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Yahuah was crucified.

Heb 8: 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Yahuah.

Though these people came out physically from Egypt, Egypt was in their heart when they read Alahim's law, Alahim's law which is spiritual being veiled to them.

 Re 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

2 Mediators:

 Paul and Stephen recorded that the law was given by the disposition of angels in Acts 7:53 and Gal 3:19

Galatians 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

Moses being the Mediator of the Old covenant which had in it encoded the way to Messiah and a call to observe it spiritually and  was a sure testimony of death to its carnal observance.

We read in Rev 11:8 'WHERE ALSO OUR YAHUAH WAS CRUCIFIED'. A spiritual comparison shows that the Mediator Messiah is the spirit of prophecy himself embodied (Logos made flesh) and sealed in angelic signification having come out from Alahim (John 16:27, John 17:8)

When we read Rev 1:1 in spiritual comparison we can understand this passage better when we compare the two mediators and the two covenants.

The spirit of prophecy is the very breath of Alahim giving mankind golden oil and Messiah is that breath made flesh.

Zec 4:12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
 13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

 14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones (ben: means sons), that stand by the Yahuah of the whole earth.

The TWO TABLETS, TWO COVENANTS, TWO MEDIATORS and the TWO SONS (as stated in Zec 4:14) testify of the SON OF GOD and the testimony given by Alahim himself.

1Jo 5:9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of Alahim is greater: for this is the witness of Alahim which he hath testified of his Son.
 10 ¶ He that believeth on the Son of Alahim hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not Alahim hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that Alahim gave of his Son.
 11 And this is the record, that Alahim hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of Alahim hath not life.

THE LIFE OF GOD is in his Son who came out from Alahim and stands a Mediator and in his Sonship gives the golden oil to all the adopted sons of Alahim. He is the one who gives us the right to be called the sons of Alahim. 

Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of Alahim, even to them that believe on his name:

Messiah said that the doctrine he teaches was not his but of him who sent him.Abiding in the doctrine of Messiah one has both the Father and the Son.

John 7:16-17 Yahusha answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. [17] If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of Alahim, or whether I speak of myself.

 2Jo 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Messiah, hath not Alahim. He that abideth in the doctrine of Messiah, he hath both the Father and the Son.

What is this doctrine which is not his but of Alahim's as stated by Messiah in John 7:16-17 and yet John says in 2 John 1:9 'doctrine of Messiah'? It seems like a contradiction.

 But when we read Rev 1:1 in spiritual comparison and understand what the two tablets, two covenants, two Mediators, two sons are, can we reconcile that in the Doctrine of Alahim written on two tablets, the two covenants,the two Mediators and two sons is all ABOUT CHRIST.

The testimony of Alahim is seen in the law: cherubs overshadowing mercy seat, tablets of covenant,  Aaron's rod that budded, manna, sprinkling of blood, feasts, sacrifices, ordinances etc all spoke of Messiah.

Here was Messiah standing and saying that he is not testifying of himself but of what he has heard from the Father.

Joh 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

The spirit of prophecy is Messiah himself, the very breath of Alahim externalized and emodied in flesh.

1Pe 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Messiah which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Messiah, and the glory that should follow.

2Co 3:17 Now the Yahuah is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Yahuah is, there is liberty.

 Re 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Yahusha: worship Alahim: for the testimony of Yahusha is the spirit of prophecy.

Being on the NT side doesn't mean that Messiah is unveiled to every one because his Revelation was still SIGNIFIED and sent by his angel unto his servant John

Re 1:1 ¶ The Revelation of Yahusha Messiah, which Alahim gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

Re 22:16 I Yahusha have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

The Revelation is of who Yahusha is given to us in his Mediatorship signified by his angel is what Rev 1:1 means. 

 Joh 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

Lot's wife

We have read about Lot’s wife becoming a pillar of salt and derived a moral out of the account of not lusting of the things in Sodom and Gomorrah which is true but we also need to look at the spiritual aspect of this and therefore we must compare spiritual with spiritual to understand what or who Lot’s wife represents. 

Lu 17:31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
 32 Remember Lot's wife.

Why would one who is upon the housetop come down to enter the house to take what's in the house when one would know that Jezebel is in the house? Why would one who is in the field return back to enter the house? One who would do so is decieved into believing a Mystery Babylon gospel. Similarly why would Lot's wife look back. There more to just looking back and we must see it in spiritual comparison what all this means?

Firstly we will look at the words ‘PILLAR OF SALT’ and compare with the rest of the bible to see what this spiritually means.

Ge 19:25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.26 ¶ But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar (nets-eeb) of salt (melach).

Hebrew word for ‘pillar’: nets-eeb which means  ‘garrison’ (a group of troops)

1Sa 10:5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of Alahim, where is the garrison (netseeb) of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:

2Ch 17:2 And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons (netseeb) in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.

Hebrew word for ‘salt’: melach

The verse should read as:

Ge 19:25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.26 ¶ But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a garrison (nets-eeb) of salt (melach).

The usage of salt in scripture has been to portray the covenant of Alahim with his people and their speech which brings about savour/seasoning to the meal

Mt 5:13 ¶ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Col 4:6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Losing the savour doesn’t mean here that the salt is no longer salt but that it’s mingled with impurities of other salts making it of a bad taste (as salt of the dead sea with all minerals mingled with the salt) not good for using it in a meal but to be thrown to be trodden under foot of men.

This is how the Greek reads and the correct translation would be:

Mat 5:13  υμεις εστε το αλας της γης εαν δε το αλας μωρανθη εν τινι αλισθησεται εις ουδεν ισχυει ετι ει μη βληθηναι εξω και καταπατεισθαι υπο των ανθρωπων

Mt 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.

Salt can never lose its saltiness but will lose its flavor which would make the meal good for nothing.

Before we see the imagery of ‘garrison of salt’ which Lot’s wife became let’s see the usage of salt in scripture.

Every meat offering according to the law had to offered with salt and salt represented the ‘COVENANT OF GOD’ with his people.

Le 2:13 And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy Alahim to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.

The salt losing its flavor and being thrown and trampled under foot by men is the covenant of Alahim is changed by adding abominable doctrines of men to it making it powerless to save.

The usage of the word ‘netseeb’ in Gen 19:25 which should be translated as ‘GARRISON’ shows exactly this because Lot’s wife held on to a covenant mingled with the abominations of Sodom and Gomorrah and Alahim turning her into a ‘garrison of salt’ is a picture of this.

The gospel of Mark shows the usage of the salt in the context of salt being used in meat offerings according to the law.

Mr 9:49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

Heb 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of Alahim, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Mingling the covenant of Alahim with unholy things i.e. abominable doctrines of men is trodding under foot the Son of Alahim.

Messiah is the one who is the sweet smelling savour and our belief in the true doctrine of Messiah brings the sweet savour of Messiah into our lives

2Co 2:15 For we are unto Alahim a sweet savour of Messiah, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
 16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Messiah also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to Alahim for a sweetsmelling savour.

2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers (Covenant breakers), false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of Alahim;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Ro 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain Alahim in their knowledge, Alahim gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

 30 Backbiters, haters of Alahim, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers (treacherous), without natural affection, implacable (covenant breakers), unmerciful:

The beast came up out of the sea which brought a gospel/covenant mingled making the salt abominable and trampled.

Re 13:1 ¶ And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

While the usage of ‘sea’ in scripture is for peoples, nations and tongues we must not forget that these are the very people who are holding a covenant which seems to be godly but godliness without power and sea is always associated with salt.

Joe 2:20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.

 Jer 10:22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.

The northern army or the north country is associated with Babylon. Alahim is saying in Joel 2:20 that he will remove from his people the northern army (seperation of tares from wheat) and will drive him into a barren land toward the UTMOST SEA where his ILL SAVOUR shall come up.

De 29:19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

20 The YAHUAH will not spare him, but then the anger of the YAHUAH and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the YAHUAH shall blot out his name from under heaven.

21 And the YAHUAH shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:

22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the YAHUAH hath laid upon it;

23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the YAHUAH overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:

24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the YAHUAH done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?

25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the YAHUAH Alahim of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:

 26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:

Salted with fire

Mr 9:49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

Re 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Lu 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

Lot’s wife may have seemed to escape the brimstone for a while fleeing out of Sodom and Gomorrah but she was salted with the fire of Alahim’s wrath when Alahim turned her into a garrison of salt to be trampled underfoot. Lot’s wife represents all those trying to flee Mystery Babylon but are part of her abominable covenant because they hold on to doctrines of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Covering/Headship of the Husband Part 3

Background to the study:

In our previous studies on Covering/Headship of the Husband Part 1 & 2 we saw the spiritual vs spiritual in the ordinance that Paul lays down for a woman to cover her head when praying or propheysing. We saw how Eve was deceived by the once covering cherub (Satan) who misrepresented the law to her and the woman fell by the lust of the desire to become as god.

We then saw the headship of the husband Messiah and the need for the woman (church) to come under the headship of Messiah and make him her Ishi to be delivered from the nakedness of sin and vanity.

Satan was there in the garden of Eden as the covering cherub and because the woman was not under the covering of her husband he led her to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil to deceive her. The tree of knowledge of good and evil stands for a false Messiah, that's why Paul says in 2 Corin 11:3 that he feared that just as the the serpent deceived Eve even so their minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah.

Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of Alahim; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

Eze 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of Alahim: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

When the Woman is in her husband and his headship/covering over her she is led by her husband to eat of the tree of life. These are the words of Messiah, the husband to his church.

 Re 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of Alahim.

Adam as the husband of Eve did not have the ability to lead his wife to the tree of life but was led by his wife to the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This ability is only in Messiah the true husband and maker. Hence Adam and Eve as a creature were subject to vanity and Messiah cannot be a creature because he himself would be subject to vanity not having the ability to lead his wife to eat of the tree of life. Having come out of Alahim and bearing Alahim's own hupostasis (substance Heb 1:3) he leads his wife to the tree of life to give her eternal life. By his headship to his wife in becoming her husband he reconciles everything back to Alahim by this headship/covering.

In part 2 of the study we saw the 'RIBS' in the mouth of the beast which Daniel saw which is the WOMAN and her seed whom Satan wants to devour

 Ge 2:22 And the rib, which the YAHUAH Alahim had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man

The Woman was taken out of the man's rib which shows that she was hid in her man and all those who are called of Alahim to understand his divine ordinance find themselves hid in their 'ISHI' Messiah. Satan desire has always been that the Woman be deceived to find her own identity outside of her man Messiah. His will can be seen in his beastly kingdoms and in one of the beastly kingdoms which Daniel saw he sees three ribs in the mouth of the beast who looked like a bear devouring much flesh. The number three in scripture signifies purpose and will (seen by three ribs in his mouth). The 'RIB' (WOMAN) in his teeth is his desire to tear her apart by deceiving her.

Da 7:5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

Joe 1:6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion. 

We then saw the locusts coming out of the bottomless pit who had a king over them whose name is mentioned in Hebrew and in Greek to show that both the Jews and Gentiles are deceived by these locusts who came out of the bottomless pit

Re 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

These locusts had faces as of men and hair of women.

Re 9:7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

We see Paul saying in 1Corin 11:14-15 that if a man has long hair it is a shame unto him and the hair is given to the WOMAN AS A COVERING

1Co 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

Here we see these locusts having face of man and long hair of woman. What does this show us? In spiritual comparison it shows that the WOMAN INSTEAD OF BEING UNDER THE COVERING OF HER HUSBAND IS TRYING TO BE HIS COVERING and this is exactly what Satan and his evil spirits are doing by distorting the 'HEADSHIP'.Satan is causing the woman to do harlotry by making her take the name of her 'ISHI' in vain but eating her own bread (gospel). This Woman outside of Messiah is 'MYSTERY BABYLON THE MOTHER OF ALL HARLOTS'.

The above background is very important for us to move ahead to understand the mysteries which Alahim has unveiled from his word to see and understand the signs of times so that we do not get carried away into being deceived in being away from the headship of Messiah who alone is our 'ISHI'.

'Ishi' means husband/man and 'Ishshah' means woman/wife in Hebrew. And the bible uses the word 'Ishshah' for Eve in Genesis. In this study we will examine Gen 3:15 in the light of spiritual vs spiritual comparison to see if this was a prophecy of Messiah or not. For this let's examine word to word translation of Gen 3:15 in Hebrew

3:15 w'ëyväh äshiyt Bëyn'khä ûvëynhäiSHäh ûvëyn zar'ákhä ûvëyn zar'äH hûy'shûf'khä rosh w'aTäh T'shûfeNû äqëv š

Eybah (enmity) shiyth (to put) beyn (between) beyn (between) ishshah (woman) beyn (between) zera (seed) beyn (between) zera (seed) huw (it/he) shuwph (bruise) ro'sh (head) attah (you) shuwph (bruise) aqeb (hoof/heel)

In simple English 

"Enmity will be put between the woman and between seed between seed, it shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his/it's heel/hoof"

There is a repetetion of 'BETWEEN' in connection to woman and her seed and again 'BETWEEN' seed to seed. This is far from being a prophecy on Messiah as traditionalists have taught because it's speaking of more than ONE SEED , it's speaking of the Woman as being against her seed and her seed against her, also her seed is against her seed. That's what the verse means.

The second aspect we see is the WOMAN standing before Alahim in Gen 3:15 when Alahim cursed the serpent was naked  had no covering of her husband, was decieved into fornication/adultery by the lust of becoming as god and hence could be termed as an ADULTERESS.

We also saw in the background that the king of the locusts name is mentioned in Hebrew and Greek to show that the locusts who had faces as men and hair as woman are the seeds of the nations (Jews and Greeks) which also fits perfect in the spiritual comparison.

This same word 'ISHSHAH' is used also for adulteress in Proverbs 6:26 and 31:3

Pr 6:26 For by means of a whorish woman (ishshah) a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress (ishshah) will hunt for the precious life.

Pr 31:3 Give not thy strength unto women (ishsha), nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.

With this evidence in spiritual comparison we now can see the harmony of how Alahim has placed important pieces of information of who the Adulteress woman represents and who her seed represents and what does it mean of them being against each other.

Genesis 3:15 was a curse for the serpent that the woman and her seed would be bruising/wounding his head and that the serpent would be bruising the heel or hoof of her seed.

Re 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 

Moreover in Gen 3:14 Alahim tells the serpent that he shall move on his belly eating dust. This dust is symbolic of the seed of this woman because that's where the Adamic race came from. Dust we are and into dust we shall return.

Re 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

Re 17:17 For Alahim hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of Alahim shall be fulfilled.

Re 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

 16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

The Whore sitteth on waters i.e. peoples, nations, multitudes and tongues.

The ten horns are her seed (carnal/ungodly seed from Jews and Greeks) who make her desolate and naked. The bruising of Satan's head (his beastly kingdom) is a symbolism of this woman Jezebel ruling his kingdom through her seed who in different ages would give their strength to one beastly kingdom while toppling the other.

Re 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

One of the heads that was wounded to death was Babylon which was a kingdom which was restrained and was as though was dead but still lying within the kingdom of heaven as tares until the wound was healed. Its the stump of tree wet with the dew of heaven bound with iron and brass as seen by Nebudchanazzer in his dream until seven times pass by, the seven times being the seven beastly rules of Satan on which the Woman sits.

 Da 4:23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;

Re 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

The womans ungodly seed (ten horns) have been responsible for overthrowing Babylon which is a beastly kingdom to usher in Medes Persia another beastly kingdom of Satan and  then over throwing Medes Persia to usher in other beastly kingdoms later on. But in actuality they were giving power and strength to the beast while bruising the head of the serpent (over throwing one beastly kingdom).

While this happened physically in time it was Alahim who was at work in all this for Alahim put this in their hearts to fulfill his will of exposing Mystery Babylon which he had restrained as a physical kingdom. They were actually in their ignorance working towards exposing the Woman Jezebel who was hidden within named Mystery Babylon.

Re 17:7 ¶ And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

 Re 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

That great city is the kingdom of heaven where our Yahusha was crucified by the Jewish nation who were then the nation chosen and called to be the people of Alahim.

Re 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Yahusha was crucified.

This great city is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt because it's now abominable for they have forsaken the spirit of prophecy for the lie of the serpent.

In spiritual comparison we see the enmity between the woman and her seed

 Re 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

Enmity between her seed to seed

 Mt 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Re 17:17 For Alahim hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of Alahim shall be fulfilled.

The contentious woman within the house:

Pr 21:9 ¶ It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling (contentious) woman (ishshah) in a wide house.

The house represents the kingdom of heaven within which this contentious woman dwells. It is better to be on the housetop than enter the house where this woman dwells.

 Yahuah warns his people when they see the Abomination of Desoltion spoken by Daniel the prophet that they need to flee, he further instructs not to come down into the house to take anything out of the house.

 Mt 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 

Let's compare spiritually with the prophecy in Amos where Amos speaks of the Day of the Yahuah. He likens the day of the Yahuah to be as a man who fled from a lion (lion was a representation of Babylon) and a bear met him (bear represents Medes Persia). Both these kingdoms were Satan's physical beastly kingdoms. The Day of the Yahuah is like a man having fled Satans phyiscal kingdoms Babylon and Medes Persia and went into the HOUSE AND LEANED HIS HAND ON THE WALL AND A SERPENT BIT HIM.

Am 5:19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

In other words there is no escape for the carnal seed of the adulteress woman. They may flee one beastly kingdom by bruising it and ushering the next by giving their strength to it (bruising Satan's head as prophesied in Gen 3:15) represented by the hand leaned on the wall over here in this verse of Amos 5:19,  only to be found in the house where the woman Mystery Babylon is and hence bitten by the serpent.

In conclusion the Ishshah (Woman) who is hid in her Ishi (Husband) i.e. Messiah is clothed with the Sun, moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head (Rev 12) ready to bring forth the man child travailing in birth to manifest Messiah in her who is the hope of her glory while the woman who is not in Messiah is the adulteress woman who is naked, desolate and torn apart by her own seed in enmity with her bitten by the serpent.
