Adonai uses language to construct images in a person’s mind, where faith and belief both materialize as the result of the Lord’s divine wisdom of how to cast a vision with words.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”10258″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][vc_column_text]Equal in comparison with verbal discussion, non-verbal communication is known as ‘body language’ which allows one to easily read, or pick up on a person’s expression style. This form of language is understood as an indication of an individual’s emotions, without writing or speaking words.
Body language is what the world witnesses at Jewish Feasts; and at every feast, a divine principle of God is unveiled by something unspoken, but yet very compelling.
With today’s increasing number of religions and as many doctrines that go along with those beliefs, I am considerably impressed by the strong silent messages hidden in each Jewish feast. While the festival celebrations are anything but silent, applied messages are understood by those who are present at the celebration.
Hebrew is said to be a holographic language, a language of hidden secondary exploding meanings, which is designed to draw outsiders into its Story.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Teaching without words” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:27|text_align:left|color:%23822a14″][vc_single_image image=”10244″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][vc_column_text]Here is an artistic example. The Cross of the Messiah, what does the image of Yeshua (Jesus of Nazareth), speak to a believer from the Cross?

The voice of the Messiah is spoken through the prophet Zechariah, saying, “and they shall look upon me — whom they have pierced.” As Zechariah prophesies under the power of the Holy Spirit, the message is that many horrible things happened to Yeshua at His crucifixion. Why is being pierced with a spear such a major event?
The fact is when the Messiah was pierced, the blood and water which ran from His Body represented the fountain of Living Water (Zechariah 12:9 _ 13:2).

9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy — all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me — whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Zechariah 12:9 – 10

It’s only when the book of Zechariah leaves the “cliffhanger”, about the moment when they pierced ‘Me’ that a fountain would be opened to the house of King David.

​Zechariah                                                                                                                                 1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off — the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause — the prophets and — the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
Zechariah 12:9 – 13:2[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”10253″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text](Complete Word Study Bible)
In Rev. 7:17, which literally is “upon fountains of water of life” (a.t. [TR], “upon living fountains of waters”]), the meaning is ever-flowing or fresh fountains of water. Metonymically, of God and Christ or the Lógos (G3056), Word, zōḗ is used in an absolute sense for the source of all life (John 1:4; 5:26; 1 John 1:1, 2).

Even at the feast of Tabernacles participants would pour water out of a golden pitcher as part of the ceremony, which could only be appreciated if they knew that Yeshua is the golden pitcher giving water to wash away our sins, and we will return seeing after we are washed.

(Complete Word Study Bible)
It was to the Pool of Siloam that a Levite was sent with a golden pitcher on “the last day, that great day of the feast” of tabernacles. To this Jesus alluded when standing in the temple, He cried, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink” (John 7:37-39). To this pool, the blind man was sent to wash and returned seeing (John 9:7-11).

17 “Don’t think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete.
Matthew 5:17

The Word of the Lord challenged the Kings of Israel saying: “What can your idols do?”

(New Living Translation Study Bible Text,)
21 “Present the case for your idols,”
says the Lord.
“Let them show what they can do,”
Says the King of Israel.
22 “Let them try to tell us what happened long ago so that we may consider the evidence.
Or let them tell us what the future holds,
so we can know what’s going to happen.
23 Yes, tell us what will occur in the days ahead.
Then we will know you are gods.
In fact, do anything—good or bad!
Do something that will amaze and frighten us.
24 But no! You are less than nothing and can do nothing at all.
Isaiah 41:21-24[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Messiah taught His disciples how to draw from the rich holographic language of the eternal Voice of God. Adonai speaks a Word in the first Covenant, then unveils its performance in the second Covenant. Afterward, the Holy Spirit guides the apostles, by helping them to connect to the passages and their fulfillment. When the apostles recognized God’s ability to achieve such an improbable task, they could glorify God as did the angels in Heaven. Now faith, trust, and assurance increased among the children of God because God was established as infallible and invincible in their eyes.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”10240″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][vc_column_text]Why the Early Church wouldn’t ever speak evil of the “Law” or the “Old Testament.”
First of all, the title “old” convey something condemned. “My old girlfriend,” or “My old Job.” We get these titles solely from the 1611 A.D. Bible Translators, not from the Holy Spirit Whose Divine Holy Tongue is Blessed.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The writers of the Second Covenant came from the Apostles, only now the Law should be written on our hearts, not on stone.
Therefore, the Second Covenant carries greater power, because of the dispensation of Grace; involves God in man’s life.
Here is part one of the definition of the New Testament word “grace.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”GRACE” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:22|text_align:left|color:%23822a14″][vc_column_text](Complete Word Study Bible Dictionary)
(I) Cháris, when received by faith, transforms man and causes him to love and to seek after the righteousness of God. Cháris is initially regeneration, the work of the Holy Spirit in which spiritual life is given to man and by which his nature is brought under the dominion of righteousness.
The maintenance of this condition requires an unbroken and immense supply of grace.

Thus, the Torah (Law) was never a device of bondage. It was man-made additions and the Pharisees’ code of traditions that changed the spirit of the Torah. The purpose of the Torah was to cleanse and purify the children of God, by guiding them into truth.

Guide my feet
(KJV)
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
106 I have sworn, and I will perform it,
that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much:
quicken me, O Lord, according unto thy word.
108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord,
and teach me thy judgments.
Psalms 119:105-108

So, we see that the psalmist has acknowledged that the Word of God is the only agent that makes men Holy. And, man is cleansed by the observance of what the Word says.

The Lamb of God prayed to His Heavenly Father for the Divine Elevation of His apostles, asking His Father to allow them to dwell inside the invisible courts of Heaven with the Father and the Son.

(NLT)
17 Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.
John 17:17
(KJV)
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
John 17:17
(MSG)
17 Make them holy—consecrated—with the truth;
Your word is consecrating truth.
John 17:17
(CJB)
17 Set them apart for holiness by means of the truth—your word is truth.
John 17:17

(CWSB)
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify (ἁγιάζω) hagiásō, them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
John 17:15-17

37. ἁγιάζω hagiázō; fut. hagiásō, from hágios (G0040), holy. To make holy, sanctify.)

(I) To make clean, render pure.
(A) Particularly in Heb. 9:13.
(B) Metaphorically, to render clean in a moral sense, to purify, sanctify (Rom. 15:16, “being sanctified by the Holy Ghost,” meaning by the sanctifying influences of the Holy Spirit on the heart. See 1 Cor. 6:11; Eph. 5:26; 1 Thess. 5:23; 1 Tim. 4:5; Heb. 2:11; 10:10, 14, 29; 13:12; Rev. 22:11). Hoi hēgiasménoi, those who are sanctified, is a reference to Christians in general (Acts…

מָקוֹר māqôr: A masculine noun designating a fountain, a spring, a flow. It indicates a source of water (Hos. 13:15); It indicates the water sources of a river literally or in a figurative sense (Jer. 51:36; Zech. 13:1). It is used often figuratively as a source of tears (Jer. 9:1[8:23]); a source of life (Ps. 36:9[10]); the Lord is pictured as the fountain or life of Israel (Ps. 68:26[27]; Jer. 2:13); a man’s wife is a fountain (Prov. 5:18); the mouth of the righteous person is a spring of life (Prov. 10:11); the wise teaching of wisdom (Prov. 13:14; 18:4); the fear of the Lord is a fountain of life (Prov. 14:27); understanding is pictured as a fountain of life, a source of how to live (Prov. 16:22).

The life of the Hebrews became the Storyboard; while Jewish history was the canvas, all of which contains God’s story. Understandably, the enormous expression of Adonai and His Word would never fit inside just one Covenant. The First Covenant was a comprehensive story of God’s faithfulness with a ‘disobedient’ son, the nation of Israel. By contrast, the Second or New Covenant was a narrative drawn from a relationship between a faithful Father and an ‘obedient’ Son. The main difference is that (in this analogy), the first son, the children of Israel dishonors his father and enjoys the irreverent and sacrilegious behavior of his father’s enemy. Then, we see the second Son, Yeshua, the anointed servant loves His Father so much that He is willing to die for a sinful and immoral people to pull them into a Holy relationship with the Father and His Son. Hallelujah!

Solomon’s call for the realization of human fallibility, vulnerability, and limitation is consistent with a central message of Sukkot: a seven-day relocation from one’s permanent residence to the temporary, humble, wooden Sukkah (booth).

Acts 25:8 – while he answered for himself, “Neither against the Law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended in anything at all.”

Acts 24:14 (NKJV) – “But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the Elohim of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets.

1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off — the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause — the prophets and — the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
Zechariah 12:9 – 13:2[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
