The Concealment and Revelation of Mashiach and The Good News

After that Yehoshua made atonement for his own people Israel who did not receive him, he was taken up into heaven and concealed there from the world.  This concealment is the aspect of grace which is created in his offering for Israel and continues on.  Read more...

The Universal Commandment and Trust in G-d

No one should think that they can obey the seven Noahide commandments without first repenting of the broken relationship between Humanity and G-d. 

A person must know what such repentance means and how to return to the true trust in G-d that was lost when we broke the universal commandment to receive all that we needed for life only from G-d. 

We can't be humane to all life forms everywhere if we do not trust G-d. 

We cannot become free from taking and giving what is not ours if we do not trust G-d. 

We cannot become free of all unfaithfulness if we do not trust G-d. 

We cannot become free of all acts of murder and hatred if we do not trust G-d. 

We cannot be always just and restore justice to all the earth if we do not trust G-d. 

We cannot bow our knee only to the one true G-d, the Creator of heaven and earth, if we do not trust him. 

We cannot speak of the one G-d and his one name in truth if we do not trust him. 

We can obey no commandment nor do anything that is fully and completely right if we do not trust G-d. 

For if we trust G-d we will ask him to provide what we need for life, that he should live in our midst, in our relationships, in our conversations, in our hearts, in our society and in all efforts of obedience to his commandments. 

We will ask him, if we trust him, to send his anointed teacher of his Torah to Israel to teach all nations quickly, even in our day. 

For death desires to consume the whole world, and without the help of G-d's anointed teacher of his Torah we may be fooled into becoming the servants of the great appetite of death. If we trust G-d we will ask for help and salvation for all the earth. 

There Is One Covenant of God

The promise of the seed and the promise of the land given to Abraham are one and are included in one convenant — not in a manner that replaces the physical definition of the seed through physical circumcision with a spiritual definition of the seed through spiritual circumcision, but in a manner that upholds the physical through the spiritual.* For the covenant was made as an assurance to Abraham that the nation of his seed would be brought out of a decent into bondage up to a place of service to G-d.

*(Thus, any covenant theology that would lead to the idea of another people superseding the nation of Israel will be a theology that is to be corrected in the end.)  

Indeed the covenant made with Abraham is the Good News and the realization of the promise of that covenant is the same Good News -- only now realized. 

Let us understand therefore that there is only one covenant of G-d, for there is only one Good News of G-d. 

How then is the covenant G-d made with Noah this same covenant of the Good News which he made with Abraham?

There was already a promise of the seed of the woman, but this promise was not yet given in the form of a covenant to Adam or the children of Adam. It had not been a promise given directly to Adam, but had been a promise which was against the serpent made to the serpent. 

And how is the covenant that G-d made with all Israel at Mount Sinai, which was conditional, the same covenant that he made with Abraham, which was unconditional?

The covenant that G-d made with Abraham, which was only made under Abraham's name, could be made with Noah and all the earth ahead of time, because it was a promise at that time that the covenant of the seed of the woman would be made under Abraham's name. 

Accordingly, the covenant made with Noah was conditional for Noah and his children. How was it conditional? Only if Abraham would come to be counted as their father would it be said that the covenant was good news to them. For it was good news that they would not be destroyed by water only if afterword they would not be destroyed by fire. 

And this conditional nature of the one covenant of G-d that applied to Noah remained the same conditional nature of the one covenant of G-d when he made his covenant with all Israel at Mount Sinai. For not all who were present in Israel were counted as Israel. 

As God made Adam corporate, so only God

is able to separate the corporate into the

individual, the one into the two and the many.

So also, the redemption and the resurrection

of the Adam are corporate and only God

is able to distinguish the many, 

one from another, for salvation.

Only The Creator is able to judge and create

what will be the eternal redemption of 

Corporate Adam,

who will be the one and who will be the two

and who will be the many.

This is the testimony of the two witnesses

who stand before the Ruler of the whole earth.

Israel As Defined By The Covenant of G-d is Israel in the covenant made new. 

This is Abraham and his seed in Torah service to G-d, in the Holy Spirit of Mashiach. And all who bless Abraham in accordance with this covenant are blessed with Abraham.
