Acts 1:6
So when they met together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time
going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"
DOES THIS MEAN THE
REAL JEWS HAVE THE KINGDOM BUT NOT THE THE NOTHERN KINGDOM OF ISRAEL?
THERE IS A
DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TWO KINGDOMS. THE NORTH IS THE LOST TRIBES. THE
SOUTHERN 3 KINGDOMS (REALLY 2).....IS THE KINGDOM RESTORED UNTO JUDAH
THE SCEPTRED KINGDOM OF DAVID?
No, this verse Acts 1:6 is not referring to that at all.
The disciples at that time didn't understand the meaning of the Messiah
and neither did John the Baptist! They either expected Yahshua to
liberate Jerusalem OR they expected another Messiah.
The Jews present in the land of Israel at the time did
not understand the prophetic word that the Messiah would come
twice. First as the Messiah ben Joseph, the suffering
servant, the Messiah to the House of Israel the lost sheep. The second
time as the Conquering King, the Messiah ben David, the Messiah to the
House of Judah.
They (even the disciples at the time)
only understood and expected the Conquering King.
They didn't understand the "Suffering Servant". The question below
was out of ignorance of the plan of YHWH to send the Messiah twice
as prophesied to heal the breach THEN restore the
Kingdom upon the completion of the Sabbath Covenant (beginning of
Millennial Kingdom). They were, even at this point, perplexed
concerning the meaning of His death and resurrection and still
expected Yahshua to liberate Israel from foreign rule and restore
the glory of the Kingdom... Yahshua's reply... the
answers are coming in YHWH's timing.
To this day, very few people who have ever lived
understand this.
What they were saying was "Lord, you kinda
let us down the first time getting yourself crucified and all...
whew you had us going there! Glad you got resurrected... NOW are
you going to liberate us and restore the Kingdom as the Conquering
King?" They had NO clue.
Paul was the one chosen to understand the meaning of the
two comings and the true meaning of "Israel" being a Remnant from AMONG
the Jews (House of Judah) and from AMONG the gentiles (where the House
of Israel had been scattered).
Remnant Israel
I challenge anyone to find a "teacher" who
teaches Romans Chapter 9. Of course, I teach it, so allow me to set the
record straight. The false teachers of the church do NOT touch Romans 9
because it destroys everything they claim about how the Church replaced
Israel and the Torah is done and no need to know the prophets, the New
Testament replaced the Old Testament, the New Covenant replaced the Law
etc. etc. ... all lies. There is NO replacement, Replacement Theology
is a lie.
Paul taught the exact opposite of what the "Church" claims:
Romans 9:4-5
To the "Isrealites"
belong 7 things granted to them as gifts from YHWH:
--- 1.) Adoption as sons of YHWH
--- 2.) To be the Glory of YHWH
--- 3.) The "Law" which is the Torah
--- 4.) The Temple of YHWH
--- 5.) The Promises of YHWH (forgiveness, resurrection, eternal
life)
--- 6.) The "fathers" or the bloodline Abraham, Isaac, Jacob
--- 7.) And the "Christ" or the Messiah Yahshua
NOT to the Gentiles. These belong
to Israel! But WHO is Israel? Paul explains it is a chosen few from
among both Houses. Now, Paul defines and clarifies that it is the
REMNANT ISRAEL that are the true sons of God to
whom these 7 things belong to.
Verse 6 - Paul declares the WORD OF GOD HAS NOT FAILED. His people are
still Israel! The bloodline that runs through Abraham/Isaac/Jacob. BUT,
Paul confirms the prophets that not EVERYONE born in that bloodline are
sons of God. ONLY a remnant. "For they are not all Israel (not everyone
who descended from Jacob is part of that remnant) who are descended from
Israel"
Then Paul goes into a long explanation of how the sons of God are
predestined and not determined simply based on the
bloodline alone. In other words, they are from the bloodline but a
SUBSET of that bloodline. Not everyone in that bloodline are saved.
Demonstrating God has CHOSEN ONLY A REMNANT from the
bloodline of Israel who is scattered across the globe many lost their
identity completely but still chosen.
Then in verse 24 Paul then declares that the REMNANT ISRAEL is called
from "AMONG" Jews (House of Judah), but
also from "AMONG" the Gentiles (House of
Israel, the lost sheep had been scattered AMONG the Gentile nations).
Paul finally got it. That the Messiah HAD to come twice to restore the
lost sheep and call out the Chosen lost among the Gentile nations.
Then in verse 25, Paul quotes from the First Prophet to the House of
Israel... Hosea, a prophecy spoken by Hosea to THE HOUSE OF
ISRAEL who had been given a certificate of divorce and
scattered among the Gentile nations... "I will
call those who were not My People (the House of Israel whom God had
divorced) ´My People´ and who were not beloved, ´Beloved´ (the promise
God made to restore the House of Israel through the prophet Hosea)...
" "And it shall be
in the place (nations where they were scattered) were it is said to them
(House of Israel) ´you are not My People´ (because YHWH divorced them),
there (in those foreign countries YHWH will call back a remnant of the
House of Israel) they (remnant of the House of Israel) shall be called
sons of the Living God (the restoration of the House of Israel back to
YHWH)."
And then in the next verse Paul again
quotes from the prophet Isaiah who also (along with EVERY OTHER PROPHET)
prophesied the re-unification of the Remnant of Israel (both Houses)
back to YHWH...
Verse 27
And Isaiah cries out concerning (Remnant
Israel to whom the 7 promises belong)
"Though the number of the sons of Israel (both
Houses scattered among all the nations) be as the sand of
the sea... IT IS THE REMNANT (Israel)
THAT SHALL BE SAVED"
So, what IS Paul saying? Is Paul starting a new religion? NO. That is
what the POPE OF ROME did. Paul was given UNIQUE revelation that
YHWH's word and promises to all Israel did not fail, YHWH sent the
Messiah TWICE to restore the lost sheep and re-unify the two houses and
call out a remnant who are His sons.
Paul is saying the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the Church teaches that is why
the Church avoids Romans 9 all together because it defies their
replacement theology lies. The descendants of Israel have been scattered
across the globe. And the "sons of God" are a REMNANT of those
Israelites that will be taken from both Houses. From AMONG the Jews
(House of Judah) and from AMONG the Gentiles (where the House of Israel
has been scattered).
And to that REMNANT ISRAEL
belong:
--- 1.) Adoption as sons of YHWH
--- 2.) To be the Glory of YHWH
--- 3.) The "Law" which is the Torah
--- 4.) The Temple of YHWH
--- 5.) The Promises of YHWH (forgiveness, resurrection, eternal
life)
--- 6.) The "fathers" or the bloodline Abraham, Isaac, Jacob
--- 7.) And the "Christ" or the Messiah Yahshua
And Yahshua too understood this same
Truth. He came first as the Messiah ben Joseph (Messiah to the House of
Israel) to RECLAIM that remnant form the House of Israel back to YHWH.
Yahshua made this clear, "I came for the LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF
ISRAEL". Then Yahshua returns as the Messiah ben David or Messiah to
the House of Judah to RECLAIM the remnant from among the Jews.
Paul DID NOT start a new religion (Christianity, the Pope started that).
He DID NOT say anything like that in Romans OR Hebrews. Paul was
ringing true to the prophetic word and the promises of YHWH through His
Messiah. These worthless shepherds of the ROMAN PAGAN RELIGION simply
do not understand the meaning of God´s Plan. Paul did. As I have just
demonstrated. Paul knew it was the Remnant of Israel that would be saved
from both Houses. Some of the House of Judah from among the Jews and
some from the House of Israel from among the Gentiles. That, is what
Paul was clearly saying in Romans. And Paul was clearly teaching the
Torah, Feasts, Sabbath, Covenants, Temple, Promises, Bloodline, and
Messiah... belong to the sons of God... the Remnant Israel.
The disciples that asked if Yahshua was
going to restore the Kingdom did not understand this.
It was given to Paul, and he took this truth to the Gentile nations to
reclaim what was lost... the remnant from among them.
To further illustrate how ignorant the
New Testament Saints were to the Plan of YHWH. Like the disciples
who expected Yahshua to liberate Jerusalem and restore the
Kingdom...
John
the Baptist Asked the SAME QUESTION... Thinking there were TWO
MESSIAHs
Let's look at the question John the
Baptist asked Yahshua in:
Luke 7:19
19 And John, calling two of
his disciples to him, sent them to Jesus, saying,
Are You the Coming One, or should we expect another?
What? What was that question all
about? John had already baptized Yahshua and hear YHWH declare
Yahshua His Son verbally and John had ALREADY declared Yahshua the
Son of God. What question was left in John the Baptist that he
should ask Yahshua such a question as "are you the one, or should we
expect another?"... ??????
John the Baptist it seems, understood
the prophecies of two different Messiahs,
Messiah ben Joseph and Messiah ben David. But did NOT
realize it was not two Messiahs, but two comings of the
SAME ONE!
They were all confused brotha.
The revelation in YHWH's design of
progressive revelation had not yet been revealed that Yahshua was
BOTH the Messiah ben Joseph AND Messiah ben David. The ONE Messiah
comes twice, not two Messiahs. It wasn't until much later that Paul
was given this revelation of deeeeeeeeeep truth.
That is why John the Baptist asked
this question, he did not understand. And that is why the Jews
turned on Yahshua, they didn't understand. That is why the
disciples kept asking when Yahshua was going to restore the
Kingdom. No one understood yet. It wasn't until YHWH breathed on
Paul and sent him to reclaim the lost sheep that this mystery was
understood.
