short mono

This is a short version (review) of the blog Monothiestic Elohim which documents all these points and MORE.
 Not a single word that is translated as G-d relates to the physical flesh. To speak of G-D is to speak of a Spiritual authority. Yeshua (Jesus) like all men have both a physical body and a Spiritual body. To mention his physical being is Not to mention The Almighty G-D but rather a Temple Of G-D or ("son of man") To mention his Spiritual auth...ority (anointing of the Father) you can apply Two of the many terms that are translated to "G-d" they are Elohim (Hebrew) and Theos (Greek) which in lamemans terms means instrument of divine authority and judgement / messenger of G-D. Its a common stumbling block for simple minds of all Judaism, Christianity and islam not to be able to seperate Spirit from flesh when it comes to RECOGNIZING messiah. Christ himself asked his disciples who do men say that i am.. thay started listing prophets then he said but who do YOU say that I Am. They said the Messiah (son of G-d meaning one who carries the name and character of G-D) and his responce was this is not carnal (based in the physical) knowledge but it revealed to you by my Father. ZWe are told throught the bible that G-d is Spirit and Not man in Many ways. Christ said he came not to do his own will (that of his flesh) but that rather the will of G-d. THAT will is divine and is the essence of Elohim (Theos). Christ said of my self I can do Nothing. He said he that believeth upon me believeth not in me but he who sent me and he who seeth me seeth not me but he who sent me... he went on to make it clear he was speaking about observing his fruits NOt his physical body (flesh/ image)and again his fruits were that of the will of G-d. He said my fruits testify of me)Christ is the ONLy ONE to Alway submit to the will of G-d. It is said in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with G-D and the Word was G-d Jn 1:1 then it goes on to say Jn1:14 that The Word was "made" flesh. If you simpley look at the greek word for made you see it means to come to pass and rendared as such 82 times in the kjv. That is the context of "made" so why did G-d use (need) flesh for his Word to come to pass? Its called atonement of the blood which ws fulfilled in Yeshua and was the reason he came in the flesh (heb.2:14) and thus you see how all scripture agress. Yeshua is also called Emmanuel which means G-D (divine authority) with us. How can this be? (stay Spiritual with me!) well messiah means annointed! Yeshua (the Hebrew name of "Jesus" means salvation OF Yah. Adon is Hebrew for Lord as IN the earth and in relation to creation but we know Hashem himself isnt limited to being within his own creation thus you have Gen.1:27 which mentions THE Man (1st and 2nd man) we are told the 2nd man is the Lord from Heaven (Messiah). Heb.1:1-4 makes it clear that there is ONE "person" (not 3) to the Godhead and the word translated to "person" is essence Thus to claim 3 would be to say G-d has split personality and or is three seperate beings/ That is blasphemy). You also have Is.9:6 which speaks of Messiah and it says there (which many people fail to understand) that his SHEM- name/CHARACTER is called Everlasting Father which again simpley means He comes in the CHARACTER OF Hashem To do HIS WILL. Christ is Elohim (divine judgement) *IN* the flesh Col.2:9! Sadly carnal minds think of "Jesus" and only consider a physical man Not his Spiritual Postion of authority (anointing). Thus they struggle to make sense of scripture and resort to adding new terminology such as Trinity which isnt biblical and or 3 persons to G-d which is polythieism. No can say Christ is Lord cept by the Spirit.

AtonementS

NOTEs on Atonements







Biblical ATONEMENT
Prayer, Repentance, Love (Charity, Mercy), Flour, Money all point to Messiah (the lamb God provided)

No Atonement without the Blood Lev.17:11/ Yoma 5a/ Zebahim 6a/ Menahoth 93b
Tosafot (Rashi comentary& Encyclopedia Judaica) blood- "The fundamental principle"
-Notes- (try to read Lev.16 day of atonement without blood sacrifice compare to Heb.9 &10 (Heb.10:10)the day of atonement was made for Messiah who fulfilled all the blood sacrifice for one and all time/ * Heb.10:14,18 (Heb.10)/ Matt.26:26-29/Rom.5:9/ Rev.1:5/ Jn.11:49,50,51,52,53; 18:12,13,14/Eph.1:7; 2:13/ (Jn.3:16)/Rom.3:24-25/ 1 Pet.1:2,18-19/ Rom.8:1-4/ 1 Jn 1:7,8,9/ Col.2:17/ Gal.3:24-29/ Yeshua- Salvation of Yah/ Right Hand works (power) Christ fulfilled The Passover sacrifice 1 Cor.5:6-8/ Heb.2:14 (Lev.17:11/ Heb.9:22) Rev.12:10-11
-Notes- The Righteous atoning (the symbol of Isaac in Gen.22/ Num.35:33 - death of high priest atoning as stated in midrash which states the about this text that the high spirituality of the righteous is a powerful atonement. So naturally the death of Messiah would carry greater atonement. (1 Pet.2:22-24/ Is.53 (vs.10))

Talmud sukkah 45a
As the temple was being destroyed one of the sages said "stupid Romans, while the temple was standing we could make atonement for youNow what will you do"
In the midst of the crisis & chaos that followed the destruction of the temple, Yohanan Ben Zakkai (the "father of rabbinic Judaism" who organized schools at Yavneh) offered a solution saying
"just as sin was surely followed by punishment, so repentance would surely be followed by redemption." But how could this happen without the Temple? Johanan had the answer to this, too; in fact he had an answer that changed the course of Jewish practice (rabbinic Judaism) from that day forward. The legend is:
-Once as Rabban Johanan ben Zakkai was coming out of Jerusalem, Rabbi Joshua followed after him, and beheld the Temple in ruins.
"Woe unto us!" Rabbi Joshua cried, "that this place, the place where the iniquities of Israel were atoned for, is laid waste."
"My son," Rabban Johanan said to him, "be not grieved; we have another atonement as effective as this. And what is it? It is acts of lovingkindness, as it is said, For I desire mercy, not sacrifice (Hos. 6:6)... What then were the acts of lovingkindness in which he was engaged? He used to outfit the bride... accompany the dead, give a perutah [coin] to the poor and pray three times a day.
I must say here that i disagree with the "rabbis" interpretation of Hosea 6:6 though "For I desired mercy(love), and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." the rabbi used this to proclaim that there is "ANOTHER" atonement "acts of loving kindness".


Biblical ATONEMENT
Prayer, Repentance, Love (Charity, Mercy), Flour, Money all point to Messiah (the lamb God provided)

We are saved by Grace (unmerited/ undeserving favor- Provided by G-d) through Faith (our portion in the relationship). The details of this are seen in the Atonements.

No Atonement without the Blood Lev.17:11/ Yoma 5a/ Zebahim 6a/ Menahoth 93b
Tosafot (Rashi comentary& Encyclopedia Judaica) blood- "The fundamental principle"

So naturally the death of Messiah would carry greater atonement. (1 Pet.2:22-24/ Is.53 (vs.10))
The Torah is a covenant made in blood. Blood sacrifice can be observed as far back as sin unto Abraham unto the first Passover unto Messiah.


Talmud sukkah 45a
As the temple was being destroyed one of the sages said "stupid Romans, while the temple was standing we could make atonement for youNow what will you do"
In the midst of the crisis & chaos that followed the destruction of the temple, Yohanan Ben Zakkai (the "father of rabbinic Judaism" who organized schools at Yavneh) offered a solution saying

He used to outfit the bride... accompany the dead, give a perutah [coin] to the poor and pray three times a day.
I must say here that i disagree with the "rabbis" interpretation of Hosea 6:6 though "For I desired mercy(love), and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." the rabbi used this to proclaim that there is "ANOTHER" atonement "acts of loving kindness".
Yeshua told us if we (1)love him we will Keep the commandments -which Includes "acts of loveingkindness" (Matt.22:37-40/ Mk.12:29-31) and yet all have sinned and fallen short of keeping the Law so all have need of the atonement made in Yeshua the ONE who knew no sin! If we kept all the law and never fell short we wouldnt have need of sacrifice. Hosea 6:6 highlights the importance of atonement through Yeshua. The Tanach (OT) is very clear that all have fallen short. Some rabbis claim acts of loving kindness (civil laws) were as effective as seeking atonement for sins when in fact this "other atonement" is really just a part of the law that when not kept is sin. Jas.2:10 All the sacrifice doesnt amount to anything without a pure heart. Hosea 6:6 is simpley saying God wants our love (Rev.4:11 do you pleasure your LORD). If we Alway kept Torah we would have no need of sacrifice but we are told all sin ONLY Messiah was without sin. G-d so loved the world.......
Circumsizion of the heart relates to (2) "prayer" Ps.51:16-19 as David shows the same concept. Messiah taught us how to pray! Prayer is done in Faith and in that relationship we have with the Father.
(3) Repentance must come before atonement (example: Ps.5:4-5/ 2 Pet.3:9) 1 Kings 8:46-50 King Solomon can ask God to forgive when they turn back and pray. Temple was still standing! Solomon wasn't praying that when the Temple would not be there, accept their prayers as atonement, but that coupled with the sacrifices being offered in the Temple, the repentent cries of the people would be heard and their sin forgiven Also note when Moses came down and saw Israel in idolatry and asked who is on the LORD's side. Those who refused to turn to the LORD were slayed and those that did turn to the LORD were forgiven. (2 Chronicles 7:19-22)

Lev.6:2-7 (not just unintentional sin with blood)
Lev.16 (the escape goat didnt justcarry away unintentional sins)
Where we have transgressed Messiah fulfilled Torah! It is he who redeems us and its that path (the Way) unto which we return.


Lev.5:11-13 "flour" alone didnt atone. It was only effectual when Mixed in with the blood sacrifice. THe blood was Required and the flour allowed the poor to join in. Christ said this bread (unleavened flour) is my body again pointing to Mashiach!The bread/matza symbolizes no malice /sin (1 Cor.5:6-8)


"Atonement"
Hebrew #3722 "lekapper" is often translated as "atone" in many English Bibles, doesn't always mean that sin is forgiven. It may mean just "remove" or "wiped away" as in Is.28:18 "disannuled".
(Num.1:2- national)
Ex.30:12 "money" atonemant (Ransom- Matt.20:28 /(1Pet.1:18,19)/ Price of life 2 Sam.24:14-16
again "money atonement points to Christ)
Ps.51:16-19
Does Judaism have a comfort in a sure fulfilled atonement today?

"In his last hours, rabban Yohanan ben Zakkai kept weeping out loud.
'O master,' his disciples exclaimed, 'O tall pillar, light of the world, mighty hammer, why art thou weeping?'
He said to them, 'Do I then go to appear before a king of flesh and blood, whose anger, if he should be angry with me, is but of this world? and whose chastening, if he should chastise me, is but of this world? Whom I can, moreover appease with words or bribe with money? Verily, I go rather to appear before the King of Kings of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be he, whose anger, if he should be angry with me, is of this world, and the world to come, and whom I cannot appease with words or bribe with money! Moreover I have before me two roads, one to paradise and one to Gehenna, and I know not whether he will sentence me to Gehenna or admit me into Paradise. And of this a verse says, Before him shall be sentenced all those that go down to the dust, even he that cannot keep his soul alive (Ps.22:30)- and should I not weep?"

Num.21:7-9 (The Brazen Serpent was a symbol of the effects of transgression and the requirement of atonement, just as Christ's sacrifice Jn.3:14,15. Sadly members of Israel had later begun to worship this image rather than its purpose 2 Kings 18:4)

Islam
Islam has no Atonement (they seek forgiveness through prayers, and works), so their allah is not a god of Law. Law has an effect for transgression. REGUARDLESS if we are forgiven the price must be paid before a Holy G-D and is through ATONEMENT. In islam there is no effect for sin if you just say your sorry God forgets his Law thus making allah a liar rather than fulfilling the Law through Atonement According to YHVH's blueprint. Islamic allah justifies sin thus is not The LORD our G-d
__________________________
Apostacy
A time is coming (Dan9:27;11:36;12:11/ 2 Thess.2) when the world will seek to take our communion with Messiah away. One shall stand saying come unto me and recieve peace yet The Faithful have that peace Now (and throughout tribulations) Lk.17:21/ Matt.24:23,26... Those of the world will fall to this deception for they seek the (false) "peace" and prosperity that shall be presented to them. Peace of Christ be with His

Isaiah 53 is a bout Messiah

Yalkut Schimeon ( ascribed to Rabbi Simeon Kara, 12th Century ) says on
Zech.4:7: "He ( the king Messiah ) is greater than the patriarchs, as it is said, 'My servant shall be high, and lifted up, and lofty exceedingly' (Isa. 52:13)."
Pesiqta Rabbati (ca.845)on Isa. 61,10: "The world-fathers (patriarchs) will one day in the month of Nisan arise and say to (the Messiah): 'Ephraim, our righteous Anointed, although we are your grandparents, yet you are greater than we, for you have borne the sins of our children, as it says: 'But surely he has borne our sicknesses and carried our pains; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. But he was pierced because of our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was laid upon him and through his wounds we are healed'(Isa.53,4-5)."
Rabbi Simeon Ben Jochai (2.Century), Zohar,, part II, page 212a and III,
page 218a, Amsterdam Ed.): "There is in the garden of Eden a palace called : 'The palace of the sons of sickness, <, this palace the Messiah enters, and summons every sickness, every pain, and every chastisement of Israel: they all come and rest upon Him. And were it not that He had thus lightened them off Israel, and taken them upon Himself, there had been no man able to bear Israels chastisement for the transgression of the law; this is that which is written, 'Surely our sicknesses he has carried' Isa.53,4).- As they tell Him (the Messiah) of the misery of Israel in their captivity, and of those wicked ones among them who are not attentive to know their Lord, He lifts up His voice and weeps for their wickedness; and so it is written,'He was wounded for our transgressions' (Isa.53,5). Midrash (on Ruth 2,14): "He is speaking of the King Messiah - 'Come hither', i.e.">Draw near to the throne<; 'eat of the bread', i.e.>, The bread of the kingdom.' This refers to the
chastisements<, as it is said, 'But he was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities' (Isa.53,5). Rabbi Elijah de Vidas (16.Century) : "The meaning of 'He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities' is, that since the Messiah bears our iniquities which produce the ef fect of His being bruised, it follows that whoever will not
admit that Messiah thus suffers for our iniquities must endure and suffer for
them himself."
(1 Cor.5:6-8) Jn.12:37/ Rom.10:16/ Matt.8:16/ Acts 8:32/ Lk.22:37
Extra extra
Moshiach is more exalted (greater) than Moses. Messiah has three fold authority: kingly, priestly, and prophetic.Messiah teaches Torah as Judah's rulers staff connects with lawgiver.

Chassidu teaches that "Moshiach will teach Torah to the entire people, including Moshe (Moses) Rabbinu".
Rabbi Mosheh Ben Nachman (1250-1270 C.E.) "And so it is said in the Midrash, 'He will be higher than Abraham, more exalted than Moses, and loftier than the Ministering angels'; the Messiah, that is,.......And he will be more exalted than Moses:....

Isaiah 53 IS about Messiah

Rabbi Moses Maimonides (Rambam): "What is the manner of Messiah's advent....there shall rise up one of whom none have known before, and signs and wonders which they shall see performed by him will be the proofs of his true origin; for the Almighty, where he declares to us his mind upon this matter, says, `Behold a man whose name is the Branch, and he shall branch forth out of his place' (Zech. 6:12). And Isaiah speaks similarly of the time when he shall appear, without father or mother or family being known, He came up as a sucker before him, and as a root out of dry earth, etc....in the words of Isaiah, when describing the manner in which kings will harken to him, At him kings will shut their mouth; for that which had not been told them have they seen, and that which they had not heard they have perceived." (From the Letter to the South (Yemen), quoted in The Fifty-third Chapter of Isaiah According to the Jewish Interpreters, Ktav Publishing House, 1969, Volume 2, pages 374-5)
Zohar: "`He was wounded for our transgressions,' etc....There is
in the Garden of Eden a palace called the Palace of the Sons of Sickness; this
palace the Messiah then enters, and summons every sickness, every pain, and
every chastisement of Israel; they all come and rest upon him. And were it not
that he had thus lightened them off Israel and taken them upon himself, there
had been no man able to bear Israel's chastisements for the transgression of the
law: and this is that which is written, `Surely our sicknesses he hath
carried.
'"
Babylonian Talmud: "The Messiah --what is his name?...The Rabbis say, The
Leper Scholar, as it is said, `surely he has borne our griefs and carried our
sorrows:
yet we did esteem him a leper, smitten of God and
afflicted
...'" (Sanhedrin 98b)

Is.53 Is about Mashiach

Rabbi Mosheh Kohen Ibn Crispin: This rabbi described those who interpret Isaiah 53 as referring to Israel as those:"having forsaken the knowledge of our Teachers, and inclined after the stubbornness of their own hearts,' and of their own opinion, I am pleased to interpret it, in accordance with the teaching
of our Rabbis, of the King Messiah....This prophecy was delivered by Isaiah at the divine command for the purpose of making known to us something about the nature of the future Messiah, who is to come and deliver Israel, and his life from the day when he arrives at discretion until his advent as a redeemer, in order that if anyone should arise claiming to be himself the Messiah, we may reflect, and look to see whether we can observe in him any resemblance to the traits described here; if there is any such resemblance, then we may believe that he is the Messiah our righteousness; but if not, we cannot do so." (From his commentary on Isaiah, quoted in The Fifty-third Chapter of Isaiah According to the Jewish Interpreters, Ktav Publishing House, 1969, Volume 2, pages 99-114.)

Although the Talmudic rabbis concurred that Isaiah 53 was a prediction of the Messiah, by medieval times the pressure from those who applied this prophecy to Jesus was so great that Rashi, that greatest medieval Biblical scholar, reinterpreted the chapter and said it referred to the nation of Israel. This interpretation is maintained today by many Jewish scholars, though it only dates back to the Middle Ages. -JewsForJesus
Jewish Targum declares Is.53 was about Mashiach long before Rashi (1040 –1105) attempted to change interpretation following Yeshua's crucifixion.
Also in referance to Is.53:
Rabbi Yafeth Ben Ali ( second half of the 10th Century):
"As for myself, I am inclined to regard it as alluding to the Messiah."
Many Talmudic comentaries say this is of Mashiach.

Talmud Sanhedrin (98b):
"Messiah ...what is his name? The Rabbis say,'The leprous one'; those of the house of the Rabbi (Jehuda Hanassi, the author of the Mishna, 135-200) say: 'Cholaja' (The sickly), for it says, 'Surely he has borne our sicknesses' etc. (Isa.53,4)."

Additions to the "Blood of Jesus" post:

Rom.3:24-25 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
1 Pet.1:2,18-19 (Rom.8:1-4)
1 Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Yeshua- Salvation of Yah/ Right Hand works (power) Christ fulfilled The Passover sacrifice 1 Cor.5:6-8/ Heb.2:14 (Lev.17:11/ Heb.9:22) Rev.12:10-11
Rom.5:1,9 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him

(Lev.16:7-9/ Heb.9:12-28)
Heb.2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he (Jesus) also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

An interesting passage in the Midrash reads, "Moses said to God, 'Will not the time come when Israel shall have neither Tabernacle nor Temple? What will happen with them then?' The Divine reply was, 'I will then take one of their righteous men and keep him as a pledge on their behalf so I may pardon [or atone for] all their sins." (Exodus Rabbah, Terumah 35:4). We have the same theme stated once again: When there is neither Tabernacle nor Temple, the life and death of the righteous will make atonement, just as we read earlier in Yeven Metzulah.

The Zohar supports this concept with a citation from Isaiah 53, the Messianic prophecy most widely quoted by Christians and Messianic Jews.

The children of the world are members of one another, and when the Holy One desires to give healing to the world, He smites one just man amongst them, and for his sake heals all the rest. Whence do we learn this? From the saying, "He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities" [Isa. 53:5], i.e., by the letting of his blood – as when a man bleeds his arm – there was healing for us – for all the members of the body. In general a just person is only smitten in order to procure healing and atonement for a whole generation.

(seed / Is.53:10/ Also not the side margin in the companion bible on this verse if you have one!)

The Blood:Lev.17:11/ Matt.26:28/ Rom.5:9/ Rev.1:5/ Heb.9:22/ 1 Jn. 1:7
Here are the words of a respected Orthodox Jewish historian, Rabbi Berel Wein. How was it that the Jewish people survived the horrors of the massacres in Eastern Europe in the seventeenth century? According to Rabbi Wein:

Another consideration tinged the Jewish response to the slaughter of its people. It was an old Jewish tradition dating back to Biblical times that the death of the righteous and innocent served as an expiation for the sins of the nation or the world. The stories of Isaac and of Nadav and Avihu, the prophetic description of Israel as the long-suffering servant of the Lord, the sacrificial service in the Temple – all served to reinforce this basic concept of the death of the righteous as an atonement for the sins of other men. Jews nurtured this classic idea of death as an atonement, and this attitude towards their own tragedies was their constant companion throughout their turbulent exile. Therefore, the wholly bleak picture of unreasoning slaughter was somewhat relieved by the fact that the innocent did not die in vain and that the betterment of Israel and humankind somehow was advanced by their “stretching their neck to be slaughtered.” What is amazing is that this abstract, sophisticated, theological thought should have become so ingrained in the psyche of the people that even the least educated and most simplistic of Jews understood the lesson and acted upon it, giving up precious life in a soaring act of belief and affirmation of the better tomorrow. This spirit of the Jews is truly reflected in the historical chronicle of the time: “Would the Holy One, Blessed is He, dispense judgment without justice? But we may say that he whom God loves will be chastised. For since the day the Holy Temple was destroyed, the righteous are seized by death for the iniquities of the generation” (Yeven Metzulah, end of Chapter 15). 262 – Brown, Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus, Volume 2, Theological Objections, p. 155

Footnote 262: Berel Wein, The Triumph of Survival: The Story of the Jews in the Modern Era 1650-1990 (Brooklyn, N.Y.: Shaar, 1990), 14.

The Talmud (rabbinal tradtional studies NOT scripture) itself teaches that “the death of the righteous atones”(mitatan shel tsaddiqim mekapperet)
(Qatan28 comparision scripturs- Num. 19:1-20:1/Num. 20:25-28/ Ex.28(:38)) Rashi to Num. 20:1
Leviticus Rabbah 20:12, repeated elsewhere verbatim (e.g., y. Yoma 2:1, Pesikta deRav Kahana 26:16): “Rabbi Hiyya Bar Abba said: The sons of Aaron [i.e. Nadab and Abihu] died the first day of Nisan. Why then does the Torah mention their death in conjunction with the Day of Atonement [which occurred on the tenth of Tishrei; see Lev. 16:1]? It is to teach that just as the Day of Atonement atones, so also the death of the righteous atones.” 265 – Brown, Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus, Volume 2, Theological Objections, p. 155-156
Footnote 264 (roshi)
Footnote 265: Ginzberg, Legends of the Jews, 3:191, cites Sifre Deuteronomy 31: “The death of the pious man is a greater misfortune to Israel than the Temples’ burning to ashes.” For further references to the atoning power of the death of the righteous, see Ginzberg, Legends of the Jews, 6:75, n. 386; 6:107, n. 602.
Babylonian Talmud Shabbat 32a For whoever ascends the scaffold to be punished, if he has great advocates he is saved, but if not he is not saved. And these are man's advocates: repentance and good deeds. And even if nine hundred and ninety-nine argue for his guilt, while one argues in his favour, he is saved, for it is said, If there be with him an angel, an advocate, one among a thousand, To shew unto man what is right for him; Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, etc.18 R. Eliezer the son of R. Jose the Galilean said: Even if nine hundred and ninety-nine parts of that angel are in his disfavour and one part is in his favour, be is saved, for it is said, 'an advocate, one part in a thousand'.
33b For R. Gorion-others state, R. Joseph son of R. Shemaiah-said: When there are righteous men in the generation, the righteous are seized [by death] for the [sins of the] generation; when there are no righteous in a generation, school-children are seized for the generation. great link on the subject

Zohar 2:212a As long as Israel dwelt in te holy land the rituals and the sacrifices they performed in the temple removed all those diseases from the world, Now Messiah removes them from the children of the world.
Babylonian Talmud Mo'ed Qatan 28a
Said R Ammi Wherefore is the account of Miriam's death placed next to the red heifer? To inform you that even as the red hiefer afforded atonement (by the ritual use of its ashes) so does the death of the righteous afford atonement (for the living that they have left behind)
R Eleasar said wherefore is (the account of) Aarons death closley followed by (the account of the disposal of) the priestly vestments? (To inform you) that just as the preists vestments were means to effect attonement, so is the death of the righteous conductive to procuring atonement
(Miriam is sister of Moses btw)
death was atoneing for Israel
Example brazen serpent on the pole Moses raised up /
King Saul killed the Gibianites as act of atonement was was approved of by Hashem. Phinehas (Phineas/Phinias/Pinchas) killing two in act of rebellion (fornication) put aside wrath of Hashem against Israel (Num.25:1-12).
2 Sam 21 David took some of Sauls relatives that remained and killed them, following this God answered the prayers on behalf of the land (again atonement).
(Is.53) Messiah is redeemer! (1 Cor.5:6-8/ Heb.10:12)
(Jn.11:49-53 - one man atones/ Jn. 18:12-14 one man die for the people- Jewish tradtion)
4th Maccabees ^(apocrypha) death of righteous being atoneing for the people)
binding of Isaac!......

Lord's Table

NOTEs on Communion



Basics:

Bread - Word of God/ Body of Christ (The Passover lamb/& the church)

"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
(Matt.4:4/ Lk.4:4/Deut.8:3)
Jn 6:22-5822The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;
23(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
24When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27Labour 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 hath God the Father sealed.
28Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
43Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
46Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
47Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48I am that bread of life.
49Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.Heb.2:14
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

Sin is transgression of The Law of God. The wage of sin is death. Grace consists of The Law. Grace- unmerited, undeserving favor. Undesrving why? Because all have sinned. So All deserve death and are in need of divine intervention. Atonement for sin is made by blood Lev.17:11. Jesus the Christ (sinless lamb) fulfilled the Law (atonement) that whosoever would partake of his sacrifice shall live life eturnal.(Gen.3:22).

1 Cor.5:6-8
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (Heb.10:12)

1 Cor.10:16-18
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

1 Cor.11:26-31
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged (1 Cor.14:23)

Repentance should come first, before partaking of The LORD's table. Ps.5:4-5 (1 Cor.10:21/ 2 Pet.3:9)

Gal.3:24-29 (Spiritual Israel)

(Matt.6:9-13- "Lord's Prayer")

Mk.12:29-31
Shama Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai echad
Hear O Israel, The LORD our God is one LORD......
(Deut.6:4-5/ Deut.10:12/ Deut.30:6/ Lev.19:18)
1 Jn1:5-10
Matt.26:26
26
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech Ha-Olam
Blessed are you LORD our God king of the universe.
(Rev.4:11)

Matt.26:27-28
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Heb.4:14-16
14Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities (Heb.6); but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

War against Saints

NOTES on War against Saints




During the last days (generation of the fig tree), the Elect will be delievered up for a testimony against those of the world. It is the JOB of the Elect to serve as Instruments of The Holy Spirit During the great Apostacy (tribulation):
The Duty
Lk.21:12-19
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish.In your patience possess ye your souls.
Lk.12:10-12
And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say./
Mk.13:11
But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost./
Matt.10
:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.,20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. ,21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death,22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.,27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops,28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.,32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven./33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me)

The elect will face persecution, beatings, prison and (Phy.) death
Rev.6:9-11
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Acts 20:23-24
23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. (Rom.10:9)
Lk.12:5 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Lk.17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

Rev.12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

NEVER be ashamed of your Christianity. We serve One King.
