Churchianity > Hebrew Roots > Faith

We are still learning as we continue on His Path of Righteousness
Break out of your perceived Comfort Zone
Let Go of Tradition
Jude 1:3 ~
.... while I take all pains to write to you of our common life, it is needful for me to write to you, encouraging you to maintain a conflict for the faith which was once delivered to the Set Apart believers, for some have obtained entrance who, from the beginning, were registered beforehand under this condemnation: wicked men who pervert the grace of Yahweh to impurity and deny him who is the only MarYah Elohim and our Master, Y'shua the Anointed One. And I wish to remind you, though you all know it, after once rescuing the people from Egypt, Yahweh again destroyed them who did not believe.
I know there are still folks coming out of Churchianity as they seek the truth of Scriptures and have gotten too comfortable with the Hebrew roots of things. I know, I was there once upon a time. It is, however, one of the best stepping stones we have leading us in the right direction. But that is where many people take the rabbit trail leading them into another traditional religion (Judaism) instead of continuing on to the faith once delivered. Our Creator was never about religions, various belief systems or churches. His Instructions were given for our health, well being and to guide us to exist as a community, a body of believers = His people, training us up for the return of His Son. Our Heavenly Father was never about 'division' but has called us to be One. Satan, on the other hand, has caused extreme division by using the above mentioned 'wicked men' who pervert the Word of God and teach it to others who have not read Scriptures for themselves or taken the time to search for the truth of His Word as if looking for treasure.
Mark 7:5 ~ The scribes and the Pharisees ask Y'shua, "Why don't your disciples walk according to the traditions of the elders? His short answer is: "You hypocrites... You have left the Commandment of (God) and have embraced the tradition of men. ... And you despise the Word of Elohim because of the tradition that you have handed down..."

Matthew 15:3 records the same... the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem ask Y'shua why his disciples transgress against the traditions of the elders. He asks them, "Why do you transgress the Commandments of YHWH (God) because of your traditions?"
By reading Scriptures we learn that YHWH's Chosen People are the descendants of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob along with those who have been adopted in:  We who come into covenant with the Creator and abide by His Instructions and have the testimony of His Son.

It is no longer a tribal thing because when anyone of any background comes into covenant with our Creator we all become part of the House of Jacob, the commonwealth of Israel. We become one as we worship YHWH in Spirt and in Truth. With this in mind, consider that His People are not just the 'Jews' and His people have not yet been gathered to the promised land. The tiny nation-state of modern day Israel does not represent the 'promised land' as that land includes all of what was the land of Canaan.

There is only one gathering of His chosen people and, according to Scriptures, it occurs at the 7th Shofar Event, when all eyes see the coming of Y'shua in the clouds. Those who are alive at that time will see the dead being risen up, all those believers who have died since the beginning, and then they will be gathered with them. It is at this point we are given bodies that are incorruptible, gathered together in the clouds for the time being.
Matthew 24- All eyes will see the return of Y'shua...
:29 immediately after the suffering of those days...
:30 Y'shua comes upon the clouds of heaven with great power and glory. He sends his Messengers with a large trumpet and they gather his chosen from the four winds.
First Thessalonians 4:16 confirms Y'shua will descend from heaven with the voice of the chief Messenger and the shofar of Yahweh. His Set Apart believers (his chosen, the elect) are caught up together to the clouds to meet Y'shua Messiah and be with him forever.

Revelation 6:12 tells us the 6th Seal is opened and because of the earthquake, darkened sun, red colored moon, falling stars and mountains and islands being moved out of their places Every One Will Know the great day of wrath has come. Revelation 11:15 tells us the world becomes the kingdom of Y'shua after the 7th shofar is sounded (the last trumpet before the final plagues).

After these events and the pouring out of the Cups of Wrath His People receive the promise, the everlasting covenant Yah made with Abraham about the land of Canaan. After we are gathered and changed from corruptible to incorruptible, then we are set down upon our own soil - the promised land of Canaan where we live in the Kingdom ruled by Y'shua for a thousand years.
Jeremiah 23:7 ~ A time is coming when people will say As Yah lives, who brought out and led the offspring of the House of Israel (Jacob) from the north land and from all the lands to which they've been scattered... and they shall dwell upon their own soil.... 16:14 I will bring them back to their land which I gave to their fathers... 30 I will deliver you from far away and make an end to all the nations where you have been....
The gathering has yet to happen but will in His good timing.  There will be no mistaking this event.


1 Peter 1:6-9 ... when you are under some pressure by the various trials that pass over you (it is) so that the proof of your faith may appear more precious than refined gold that is tested by fire, to glory and honor and praise at the manifestation of Y'shua: whom having not seen, you love; and in the faith of whom you rejoice with the joy that is glorious and beyond expression, that you many receive the reward of your faith, the life of your souls...
