YHVH’s Sabbath is like a stabilizing factor in the midst of the chaos of the world.
So many people I talk with tell me they never had any idea it would be like it is.
At first, the Sabbath seems like an inconvenience where 24 hours are lost into the week somewhere.
Then the Sabbath becomes a time where the realization of God takes over the flesh of man and the old man’s desires.
The Sabbath eventually becomes a time where YHVH grants revelation to the obedient individuals and without fail they testify it was without compare during the rest of their lives.
Once the individual experiences the blessings of the Sabbath, there is no turning back to the ways of the world.
The Sabbath becomes like a safe haven refuge in the midst of a lost, often violent world.
This afternoon I had a good friend tell me how he looks forward to the next Sabbath all the way from the end of the previous Sabbath.
Those who pass The Covenant test in this life will experience eternal rest and oneness with YHVH God and His Son and enter into the New Covenant of Revelation 21.
Jeremiah wrote about the New Covenant but few seem to grasp what Jeremiah wrote. Jeremiah was very careful to pen the words perfectly as YHVH’s Spirit wrote through his willing, obedient mind.
I recommend clicking the link above to see the simple presentation of the New Covenant:
Jeremiah 31:31-34
31 “Behold, the days are coming, says YHVH, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah
Notice there is no New Covenant with the Gentiles, it is only the 2 houses of Israel. At no time in any scripture in the entirety of the Bible is any covenant made with Gentiles. The very name Gentile implies those people who are against YHVH God the Father’s Law which are His Ways and live their lives without Him. There is no hope and no eternity for Gentiles unless they enter in under the promises made to Israel through Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, fully explained and written by Moses and kept by the Righteous who inherit eternal life through obedience to the Commandments of YHVH. There is absolutely no admittance to the New Covenant for people, like I used to be, in Christianity, who have robbed YHVH God the Father and destroyed His LAW. If you are a Gentile, you have no salvation unless you enter into the WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL and keep YHVH’s LAW He gave to His People AND THE LAW/WORD He put into His Son for the purpose of fulfilling Deuteronomy 18:15-19 so the people of the world could hear His Voice through the mouth of His Son and know to live according to YHVH’s Commandments. It is sheer lunacy to believe the Christian dialogue on their “new covenant” because IT DOES NOT EXIST. They either graft into Israel or they spend eternity in the Lake of Fire. See Revelation 22:14, Isaiah 56 and hundreds of other scriptures.
32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says YHVH.
The first thing to notice is the Hebrew so the translation is understood and bad Bible translators cannot fool you!
Jer 31:32 NotH3808 according to the covenantH1285 thatH834 I madeH3772 withH854 their fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I tookH2388 them by the handH3027 to bringH3318 them out of the landH4480 H776 of Egypt;H4714 whichH834 (H853) my covenantH1285 theyH1992 brake,H6565 although IH595 was an husbandH1166 unto them, saithH5002 YHVH:H3068
H1285 בְּרִית berı̂yth ber-eeth’ From H1262 (in the sense of cutting (like H1254)); a compact (because made by passing between pieces of flesh): – confederacy, [con-]feder[-ate], covenant, league.
There is no “according to the” in the Hebrew. YHVH is making it plain and simple it is NOT the Covenant He made in the Wilderness and it is NOT what Hebrews call the Renewed Covenant. This is a new PROMISE. There is no contractual clause!!! It is something YHVH will DO and nobody else. In the Wilderness, YHVH’s Covenant was presented the people agreed to it. In the New Covenant there is ABSOLUTELY NO AGREEMENT with His people. He makes this New Covenant and He performs the specifics of this New Covenant. Messianic need to understand it is not simply the renewal of The Covenant but something far more glorious. Why is there no agreement between YHVH and the people with regard to the New Covenant? BECAUSE the people are still under The Covenant and YHVH is NOT GOING TO BREAK IT. The people might break it but YHVH will never break His Covenant!!! It is as Paul says that as long as all men live they are under The Covenant. Then comes The Judgment. And guess what, THE JUDGMENT is mentioned in Jeremiah 31:30…!!!
33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says YHVH: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
“After those days” means after the days referred to earlier in Jeremiah 31. It is not possible for “those days” to refer to anything else. What happens in the early parts of Jeremiah 31? We have not gotten to those times described yet. Jeremiah 31 describes BOTH HOUSES of Israel as having returned and we do not even have 1 House of Israel as having returned but only part of 1 House, and that is Judah. Zechariah 13 says they are brought back to the land for the destruction of 2/3 of them and the other 1/3 will suffer greatly as they are purified. They are purified a gold and silver and that means those who have survived will undergo extremely intense trials and tribulations in the 1260 days of the Great Tribulation. That is a promise to Judah because of their disobedience! Jeremiah 31:33 describes BOTH HOUSES as having returned and after that time YHVH Himself puts His TORAH in their minds and writes His TORAH on their hearts and they, both Houses of Israel, shall be His People. “After those days” refers to the time after The Judgment at the end of the 7th Millennium and before Revelation 21.
34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know YHVH,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says YHVH. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”
Finally, YHVH describes a time when no one will need to teach about YHVH and His LAW because YHVH Himself writes it into everyone who has passed The Judgment. No one needs to tell anyone in the world about YHVH anymore because everyone who passed The Judgment knows Him intimately because they studied His LAW like Righteous men, women, and children and lived their lives in obedience to His TORAH thereby qualifying themselves, in the way Paul describes the race, for passing The Judgment an being rewarded with a crown of Righteousness and entering into the REST of the New Covenant. And last but not least, YHVH says He will not remember their sin anymore, WHY? Because there is no more sin once YHVH has written His TORAH perfectly into a heart and put His Torah perfectly into a mind. WHY?
WHY?
WHY?
WHY?
Because then, they are just like His Son when His Son lived on the earth!!!!!!!!!!
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of FAVOR and truth.
Shabbat Shalom!
