H E B R E W S . 5
8 Though Yahusha was a Son, He learned obedience by the things which he suffered.
9 Then (having been perfected), He became the author and cause for Eternal Deliverance, for all those who obey Him,
10 having been called by Alahim, a High Priest after the order of Melchizedek.
11 Now we have many things to say about Him, but it’s often hard to explain, because you’ve all become so dull of hearing and won't listen!
12 For by now you should all be teachers, yet you still need someone to teach you about the first principles of Alahim over and over again. You’ve fallen into such a state that you still need milk and not solid foods.
13 For everyone drinking the milk is inexperienced in the Word of righteousness, and remains a babe.
14 But solid food is for those who are mature and whose senses have been trained and exercised to discern both good and evil.
11 Now we have many things to say about Him (YAHUSHA/MELCHIZEDEK) but it’s often hard to explain (TO TALK ABOUT HIM AND HIS NEW PRIESTHOOD), because you’ve all become so dull of hearing and won't listen!
MANY THINGS
* ONLY MENTIONS
OF MELCHIZEDEK !!
(ABRAHAM - DAVID ... NOW PAUL)
- NOT MUCH INFO !
WHO'S GOING TO BELIEVE PAUL THAT
YAHUSHA IS MELCHIZEDEK / ALAHIM ?
WHAT WAS HIS REP ? . . . AND OURS ?
* YET ALL HEBREWS IS BASED ON
THIS NEW REV GIVEN TO PAUL
WHO TAKES THE 100s OF REF
TO AARON'S OLD SYSTEM &
DECLARES THEM SHADOWS
TO A NEW SUPERIOR WAY
& SUPERNATURAL
PRIESTHOOD!
* PAUL IS EXTREMELY GIFTED
IN DISSECTING & EXPOUNDING
(MUCH BETTER THAN THE OTHER DISCIPLES
WHO SUMMARISE BIG ISSUES IN ONE VERSE):
E.G
JOHN 1:14
"The Word was made flesh and Tabernacled (dwelt) amongst us."
HOW MANY 100s OF TABERNACLE VERSES ARE ALL SUMMARISED INTO THIS ONE STATEMENT !
JOHN 1:29
"Behold the Lamb of Alahim Who takes away the sins of the world."
HOW MANY LAMB / SACRIFICE / BLOOD REF ALL
SUMMARISED INTO THIS ONE STATEMENT !
JOHN 1:51
"Angels ascending and descending"
JACOB'S LADDER VISION - A PORTAL - YAHUSHA!
JOHN 2:19
"The Temple of His Body"
SOLOMON'S TEMPLE SYSTEM - NOW HIS BRIDE
JOHN 4:1-14
"Jacob's well of water"
A WELL OF QUENCHING DELIVERANCE
JOHN 7:37
"Living waters flowing from
the Temple" (FULFILLING EZ 40-48)
THE RIVERS OF LIVING WATER GUSH
FORTH BY YAHUSHA'S SPIRIT WITHIN
PAUL DOES THE OPPOSITE
TO JOHN WHILE WRITING
(TAKING ONLY 2 OLDER VERSES REGARDING MELCHIZEDEK AND WRITING THE WHOLE
BOOK OF HEBREWS (+OTHERS) ABOUT IT!
IN GALATIANS, PAUL DECLARES THE TORAH IS A SCHOOL-MASTER TO BRING US TO YAHUSHA. EVERY WORD, SHADOW, SYSTEM AND INSTRUCTION WRITTEN IN THE OLD COVENANT WRITINGS WAS TO ILLUSTRATE TO CARNAL BEINGS (WITHOUT THE INDWELLING SPIRIT) IN A VERY EARTHLY, PRACTICAL WAY ... SPIRITUAL REALITIES AND SUPERNATURAL TRUTHS ALREADY IN EXISTENCE IN ANOTHER HEAVENLY PLANE OF DIMENSION.
THEY WERE ALL POINTING TO YAHUSHA AND HIS MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD AND REIGN ... SO WE CAN'T FOLLOW ANY OF THESE OLD SHADOW-TEACHINGS (INTENDED FOR AN OLD EARTHLY BRIDE AND PRIESTHOOD) WITHOUT FACTORING IN YAHUSHA'S POWERFUL WORK OF DELIVERANCE ... ESP. TODAY IN THE 21st C !
CHAPTER AFTER CHAPTER SPEAK ABOUT THE TABERNACLE, THE PRIESTHOOD, THE GARMENTS AND THE SACRIFICES CONCERNING AARON AND HIS ORDER. THERE WERE MANY MINUTE AND INTRICATE DETAILS, ALL WRITTEN UNDER THE INSPIRATION OF ALAHIM'S SPIRIT. YET ALL THIS IS BUT THE PASSING TYPE AND SHADOW OF SOMETHING ETERNALLY PERMANENT IN THE MELCHIZEDEK ORDER. SO WE ARE TO LOOK TO THE ORIGINAL AND ETERNAL PRIESTHOOD (AS IT WAS IN THE GARDEN), A FAR MORE SUPERIOR PRIESTHOOD AND HEAVENLY (BODILY) TEMPLE WHICH THE AARONIC SHADOWED FORTH IN TIME.
HAVE YOU BEEN PAYING ATTENTION?
HOW COULD YAHUSHA BE A LEGIT HIGH PRIEST IF HE WASN'T FROM THE TRIBE OF LEVI AND AARON'S FAMILY?
THE HIGHER ORDER MUST INCLUDE THE LESSER ORDER TO REVEAL IT'S TRUTHS! SO IF LOOK AT THE SHADOW THEN WE'LL FIND THE ONE CASTING IT
11 Now we have many things to say about Him but it’s often hard to explain (TO TALK ABOUT HIM AND HIS NEW PRIESTHOOD), because you’ve all become so dull of hearing and won't listen!
HARD TO EXPLAIN
EVEN PETER STATED THAT SOME OF THE THINGS PAUL SAID WERE A BIT HARD TO UNDERSTAND (REGARDING WHO YAHUSHA HAD BECOME) ...
BUT WHY WOULD THAT BE?
1. THE SUBJECT WAS TOO DEEP AND DIFFICULT
TO EXPLAIN AND HAVE PEOPLE GET IT.
2. THE TEACHER WASN'T FULLY INSTRUCTED
OR UNDERSTAND THE SUBJECT HIMSELF.
3. THE LISTENERS JUST WOULDN'T RECEIVE IT.
THE FIRST 2 DO NOT APPLY TO PAUL HERE, SO IT WAS PURELY THE FAULT OF THE HEARERS ... JUST LIKE TODAY (IN A SPIRITLESS RELIGIOUSLY OLD COVENANT ENGRAINED SOCIETY) ... WHEN IT COMES TO UNDERSTANDING THE LETTER OF HEBREWS, THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK (IN BOTH YAHUSHA AND HIS ASSEMBLY) AND THE FACT THAT YAHUAH METAMORPHED INTO A NEW FIRSTFRUIT CREATION FOR OUR DELIVERANCE, OVERCAME, FULFILLED ALL SCRIPTURES AND FEASTS, DIED, RETURNED AS A SLAIN LAMB AND NOW SITS ON THE THRONE AS ALAHIM IN ALL AUTHORITY.
11 Now we have many things to say about Him but it’s often hard to explain (TO TALK ABOUT HIM AND HIS NEW PRIESTHOOD), because you’ve all become so dull of hearing and won't listen!
DULL OF HEARING
SINCE YOU HAVE BECOME DULL IN YOUR SPIRITUAL HEARING, AND SLUGGISH, EVEN SLOTHFUL IN ACHIEVING SPIRITUAL INSIGHT. THE PHRASE “DULL OF HEARING” MEANS “SLUGGISH OR SLEEPY, HARD TO MOVE, TO BE WEAK, DESPONDENT, TO GROW DULL, BE DARKENED, DIM, FAIL, FAINT, RESTRAINED, STUNNED OR STUBBORN.”
A LACK OF RESPONSE
TO THE WORD!
ALLOWING ANYTHING ELSE BUT THE WORD TO ATTRACT AND DISTRACT OUR ATTENTION!
WHEN'S THAT GUNNA STOP ?
LAZINESS TOWARDS YAHUSHA'S SUPERNATURAL MOVEMENTS
SLOTHFULNESS, NEGLECT AND INATTENTION - NOT INTERESTED OR TAKING HEED.
THE SAME AS YISHARAL -
WHO GOT DIVORCED FOR
HER IDOLATRY!
NOT HAVING AN EAR TO HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAYS OR THE WIND AND WAY IN WHICH HE BLOWS IN THE ASSEMBLIES.
THERE WAS (FOR THEM)
“A FAMINE OF HEARING”
(AMOS 8:11).
IT WAS NOT A MATTER OF BEING HARD TO UNDERSTAND OR INTERPRET THESE FRESH WORDS ABOUT MELCHIZEDEK AND YAHUSHA ALAHIM, FOR IT'S NOT DIFFICULT TO SPEAK TRUTH TO A SUPERNATURALLY-ALERT WORD-LOVING FELLOWSHIP OF PEOPLE ... IS IT!?
12 For by now you should all be teachers, yet you still need someone to teach you about the first principles of Alahim's Word (ORACLES) over and over again.
TEACHER OR STUDENT?
PAUL NOW TAKES A SHORT BREAK FROM YAHUSHA'S MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD (THE MAIN THEME OF THE ENTIRE LETTER) TO ADDRESS THE BEHAVIOUR AND IMMATURITY OF THESE HEBREW BELIEVERS ... NOW REGARDING TEACHERS :
EPHESIANS 4
"11And He made some Apostles and some Prophets and some Evangelists and some Pastors and Teachers 12all for the perfecting of the believers, for the work of the ministry, for the encouragement of the Body of Messiah,13until we all come into the UNITY of the belief, and of the knowledge of the Son of Alahim, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Messiah: 14so that we are no longer children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the deceit of men and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, 15but speaking the truth in love, we may grow up into Him in all things, Who is the head (Yahusha),16from Who the whole body is fitly joined together and compacted by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working (in the measure of every part), so the body increases to the edifying of itself in love".
* TEACHER - A SPECIFIC MINISTRY
BUT ALL ARE CALLED TO BE A WITNESS,
AND EVENTUALLY TEACH ALSO.
* HEBREWS HAD ENOUGH TIME
PAUL SAYS THEY SHOULD BE TEACHERS BY NOW.
* POOR SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT
GOING OVER & OVER THE SAME STUFF AGAIN
SHOWS A LACK OF SUPERNATURAL AWARENESS.
* AGE NOT RELEVANT
OLDER ONES OFTEN MATURE THE LEAST
AND YOUNGER ONES CAN GRASP AND RUN.
DO NOT BE JUST HEARERS BUT DOERS (TEACH)!
12 For by now you should all be teachers, yet you still need someone to teach you about the first principles of Alahim's Word (ORACLES) over and over again.
FIRST PRINCIPLES
* THE ORACLES OF ALAHIM
IE ... THE WORD OF ALAHIM
THE VOICE OF ALAHIM
* DIVINE LAWS WERE AN ORACLE
IE ... THE WORD/VOICE OF ALAHIM
* MOSES RECEIVED ORACLES
10 COMMANDS / DIVINE LAWS / PRIESTHOOD
* TEMPLE ORACLE
THE MOST SET-APART PLACE OF SOLOMON'S
TEMPLE WHERE THE ARK WAS
* ORACLE = SPEAKING PLACE
THE VOICE OF ALAHIM FROM BETWEEN THE
BLOOD-STAINED CHERUBIM & MERCY SEAT.
* YAHUSHA IS THE ORACLE
THE WRITTEN & SPOKEN INFALLIBLE WORD
OF ALAHIM, MADE FLESH TO BRING LIFE AND
POWER TO THE ORACLES THROUGH A NEW
COVENANT IN HIS BLOOD FOR DELIVERANCE.
* NEW TEMPLE SPEAKING PLACE
YAHUSHA IS SEATED AS ALAHIM ON THE
THRONE OF HEAVEN (CHERUBIM) - COMMUNICATING
THROUGH THE PORTAL ON THE HEARTS
OF HIS BRIDE (BLOOD-STAINED NEW HEARTS).
* FIRST PRINCIPLES/STEPS ?
BEGINNING STEPS, SIMPLE AND FUNDAMENTAL
FOUNDATION OF THE BELIEF :
HEB.6 "1Therefore leaving the first principles of Messiah's Teachings, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of belief in Alahim, 2or the foundation of immersion, and of laying hands on people, and of resurrection from the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3For these things we'll do, if Alahim requires".
12a For by now you should all be teachers, yet you still need someone to teach you about the first principles of Alahim's Word (ORACLES) over and over again.
12b You’ve fallen into such a state that you still need milk and not solid foods.
13 For everyone drinking the milk is inexperienced in the Word of righteousness, and remains a babe.
MILK OR MEAT ?
* THE 3 RULES FAST-TRACK MEAT
MATURING BY PRACTICAL BEHAVIOURAL
APPLICATION OF THE WORD SO THAT WE ARE
NOT LOOSE CANONS AND CRAZY-EMOTIONAL,
INSTEAD, LEVEL-HEADED AND CAN BE TRUSTED.
* MILK IS FOUNDATIONAL FOOD
EASY, GENTLE, SOFT, SPOON-FED TRUTHS
* MEAT NEEDS CHEWING & PAIN
SPIRITUAL WARFARE, DEMONIC BATTLES -
TO BE ABLE TO BRING FORTH FRUITS IN TRIALS
ISAIAH 28
"Who is He teaching knowledge to? Who will He make understand His doctrine? Those who are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept - line upon line, line upon line - here a little, and there a little: 11for with stammering lips and other languages He will speak to this people, 12Saying, 'This is the rest where you can give the weary peac - and this is the refreshing': but they wouldn't listen".
* PASSOVER IS THE MILK
BLOOD / WATER / LAMB / BREAD - FOUNDATION
- MOST ARE CAMPED HERE ...
* PENTECOST INTRO'S SOLIDS
UNDERSTANDING WHO YAHUSHA IS AS ALAHIM
- RECEIVING HIS TRUE SET-APART SPIRIT TO
BRING US INTO ALL TRUTH & TRAINING AS
MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTS ...
* TABERNACLES IS MEAT
CORRECTLY, MATURELY, ABSTRACTLY HANDLING
THE WORDS OF YAHUSHA AND LISTENING TO
HIS VOICE IN ALL SITUATIONS. BECOMING THE
LEAST AND LIFTING UP OTHERS TO YAHUSHA.
* OVERCOMING FOR THE CROWN
THE DEATH OF SIN AND SELF BRINGS GREAT JOY
IN OVERCOMING THE WORLD AND DEMONS.
* A SEEDS PURPOSE IS TO MATURE
WE ARE BORN ANEW AND UNDERGO A DIVINE
HEART OPERATION IN ORDER TO TRANSFORM.
1 JOHN 2
12"I write to you, dear children, because your sins are forgiven through Messiah. 13I write to you, fathers, because you know the One Who existed from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have defeated the Evil One. 14I write to you, children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know the One Who existed from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you are strong. The Word of Alahim lives in you, and you have defeated the Evil One".
JOHN SPEAKS OF BELIEVERS IN THREE STAGES OF SUPERNATURAL DEVELOPMENT:
1. LITTLE CHILDREN,
BABES IN MESSIAH, AND THE “LITTLE CHILDREN” STAGE. UNABLE TO FEED THEMSELVES. FED ON MILK.
2. YOUNG MEN,
"YOUTH IN MESSIAH", ABLE TO FEED THEM SELF. FED ON MILK AND A BIT OF STRONGER FOOD.
3. FATHERS IN MESSIAH.
MATURITY, MANHOOD, SONSHIP. ABLE TO FEED SELF AND OTHERS. FED ON REAL MEAT.
THE BRIDE MUST GROW IN FAVOUR AND UNDERSTANDING OF YAHUSHA MESSIAH. FROM BABYHOOD TO MANHOOD, FROM MILK TO MEAT — THIS IS ALAHIM’S WILL AND DESIRE FOR HIS CHILDREN!
13 For everyone drinking the milk is inexperienced in the Word of righteousness, and remains a babe.
INEXPERIENCED
*INEXPERIENCED
UNSKILLED - WITH NO PRACTICE OR EXPERIENCE IN SUPERNATURAL/SPIRITUAL MATTERS - EASILY
UPSET AND UNABLE TO BEHAVE CORRECTLY
(IRRELEVANT TO PHYSICAL AGE).
*WORD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
THE SCRIPTURE FROM BEGINNING TO THE END,
INCLUDING THE WHOLE REVELATION OF
YAHUSHA ALAHIM. FROM THE FIRST PRINCIPLES TO PERFECTION IN MESSIAH.
ROMANS 5 3"And not only so, but we rejoice and esteem in pressures also, knowing that they work patience, 4and patience develops experience, and experience brings hope: 5and hope never makes us ashamed, because the love of Alahim is shed abroad in our hearts by the Set-Apart Spirit which is given to us".
GALATIANS 4 3Even so (when we were children) we were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4but when the fulness of the time had come, Alahim sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6And because you are sons, Alahim has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7And you are no longer a servant, but a son - and if a son, then an heir of Alahim through Yahusha".
*BABES
BABES IN MESSIAH, CHILDREN, INFANTS, ALL WHO WERE UNDER THE CARNAL LAW. DEPENDENT, HELPLESS AND IMMATURE ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF BABIES.
MANY BELIEVERS REPENT AND GET IMMERSED INTO YAHUSHA, BUT THEN DROP THEIR STAKE AT THE EASY OF PASSOVER (IE EVERYTHING YAHUSHA DID FOR US) AND ENTER A “SECOND CHILDHOOD”, INSTEAD OF MOVING ON AND ENTERING ADULTHOOD AND REALISING WHAT WE ARE TO NOW DO FOR YAHUSHA (IE PROVE OURSELF AND OVERCOME TO BE FOUND WITH OIL)...
NOT GROWING UP, STUNTED CHILDREN, TURNING BACK TO EARTHLY CARNAL BEHAVIOUR OF THE WORLD OR THE OLD COVENANT SHADOWS AND LAWS ... INSTEAD OF PRESSING ONTO THE HEAVENLY AND SUPERNATURAL IN YAHUSHA.
A BABE WANTS TO BE PATTED AND PETTED, MINISTERED TO AT ALL TIMES, GIVEN CONSTANT ATTENTION, CARRIED ABOUT, SPOON-FED, ALLOWED SLEEPING A LOT, FUSSED OVER. THE BABE LIVES ON MILK, WANTS ITS OWN WAY, AND MANIFESTS BABY QUALITIES ... OUTBURSTS ... TANTRUMS ... RAGE ...UNREASONABLE!
1. EPH 4:14 BABES ARE CARRIED ABOUT BY EVERY WIND OF DOCTRINE, AND NEVER KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE, NEVER ADVANCING IN THE TRUTH.
2. 1 COR 3:1 BABES ARE SELF-CENTERED ON PERSONALITIES, CARNAL, FILLED WITH ENVY, STRIFE AND ARGUMENTATIVE DEBATE.
3. 1 COR 13:11 BABES UNDERSTAND AS BABES. THEY SPEAK AS BABES. THEY THINK AS BABES, AND HAVE CHILDISH WAYS, OUTLOOKS AND CHILDISH HABITS.
4. 1 COR 3:1-2 BABES JUST CANNOT HANDLE THE MEAT OF THE WORD.
13 For everyone drinking the milk is inexperienced in the Word of righteousness, and remains a babe.
14 But solid food is for those who are mature and whose senses have been trained and exercised to discern both good and evil.
TRAINED SENSES
A PERFECTED AND MATURE BELIEVER CAN RECEIVE THE WORD IN MEAT FORM, SOMETHING TO ‘CHEW OVER'. THE STRONG MEAT OF THE MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD IS FOR THOSE WHO ARE MORE MATURE IN THE THINGS OF ALAHIM. PAUL'S LETTER TO THE CORINTHIANS WAS MILK BUT HERE TO THE HEBREWS HE GIVES MEAT.
*REBUKING IS NOT JUDGING!
* DISCERNING IS NOT JUDGING!
IT IS SUPERNATURAL CLARITY OF SIGHT
WITHOUT ANY NEGATIVE EMOTION OR
CONDEMNING ATTACHED - TO NOT BE
DECEIVED ... A BABE DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT IS GOOD OR BAD ...
THE TREE OF UNDERSTANDING GOOD AND EVIL WAS EATEN BY ADAM, BUT NONE OF ADAM'S RACE CAN TRULY OR PERFECTLY DISCERN BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL IN THEIR CORRUPT BABY STATE.
EVE WAS DECEIVED OVER THE TREE, AND A BABE CANNOT TELL WHAT SORT OF A TREE IT IS THEY ARE PARTAKING OF. MANY, MANY BELIEVERS (LIKE THE HEBREWS) CANNOT TELL WHAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG, GOOD OR BAD, OF YAHUSHA OR OF THE DEVIL, OF THE FLESH OR OF THE SPIRIT, BECAUSE OF THIS SPIRITUAL BABY CONDITION. CONTINUALLY BEING FED ON MILK, SPIRITUAL NURSERY-RHYMES, ANCIENT SHADOWS, SCRIPTURAL TRINKETS AND AMUSEMENTS, IN THEIR YISHARAL `YAHUAH-ONLY' GROUP-LIFE’, THEY ARE KEPT IN BABYHOOD BY CARPET-BAGGERS WHO WISH TO EXPLOIT AND PROFIT.
THIS CONDITION IS ALL BECAUSE OF A LACK OF TEACHING, OR DULLNESS OF HEARING, OR LACK OF USE OF THEIR SUPERNATURAL SENSES TO DISCERN. HOW MUCH OF THE BEHAVIOR OF THE PROPHETS (ISAIAH, HOSEA, EZEKIEL, AND OTHERS) APPEARED ‘EVIL’ TO THE CARNAL AND UNDISCERNING ONES, BUT TO THE SPIRITUAL IN YAHUSHA, THOSE WERE THE MEAT OF DIVINE REVELATION - BUT ONLY WHEN INFUSED WITH THE AUTHOR-SPIRIT AND ACTIVATED THROUGH REAL BEHAVIOUR.
BABES WILL JUDGE AFTER THE NATURAL SENSES (SEE, HEAR, TASTE, TOUCH, SMELL) AND ARE SO OFTEN DECEIVED. BUT THE TRUE BRIDE WILL JUDGE BY THEIR SUPERNATURAL SENSES AND BE ABLE TO DISCERN THE MIND OF YAHUSHA ALAHIM.
YAHUSHA'S PARABLES
YAHUSHA SPOKE TO THE PEOPLE IN PARABLES BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF USE OF THEIR SUPERNATURAL SENSES. THE PEOPLE DID NOT HEAR WHAT HE HAD TO SAY, AND BECAME DULL IN HEARING, AND DID NOT WANT TO SEE WHAT HE MEANT, AND BECAME BLIND SPIRITUALLY, AND LACKED UNDERSTANDING IN HIS WORD. THEY HEARD AND SAW HIM, BUT THEY REALLY DID NOT “HEAR AND SEE” HIM. ONLY BY CONSTANT USE AND PRACTICE (TUNING INTO HIS VOICE) WILL OUR SUPERNATURAL SENSES BE ABLE TO RECEIVE THE WORD AND THE MEAT OF YAHUSHA OUR ALAHIM.
AND SO IT IS FOR THE TRUTH OF THE MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD ... OTHERWISE, THE SENSES BECOME PARALYSED AND ALL WE SEE IS THE SHADOWS AND INK ON THE PAGE! MILK!
