“good” or bad”
Door to relationship with Jesus Christ
Creating a place
From the time of Adam and Eve’s deception, God has militarily engaged the ancient spirits, who entered the Earth by fraud and deceit. Now, the Lord is reestablishing His companionship back amidst humankind.
Lucifer knew that sin would slice the relational rope between God and His creation; a condition he and all the misguided, fallen angels were experiencing. Adonai wanted to bless the world and its people, but Lucifer’s demons were working against the people of the Earth so that they would either never come to faith, or just misunderstand the Messiah and His invitation.
Protecting Historical proof
While it’s true that believers in Jesus Christ (Yeshua the Jewish Messiah) will be saved under the conditions of the New Covenant, we are also supposed to believe what is said about the long-awaited Messiah. We are not to simply accept a “good message” but to receive the historical proof (the “Good Message”) that He is the Lord’s “Christos” as “Mashiach,” according to the Jewish New Testament Commentary.
Messianic Jewish are called so because they accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. However, in addition to accepting Christ as their Savior, they process their decisions based on the genealogical rules of descent, and detailed prophecies about His birth, life, death, the ending of this age, and His eternal kingdoms.
Memorizing scripture is not salvation; neither is quoting passages from the Bible. However, when we can make sense of the limitless esteem of Calvary’s victim, and the immeasurable importance of the one we nailed to the cross, then we tremble. For who in their right mind would believe that a dead man could save the world. The Lord planned it so that this servant King would go into Hell and bring up the righteous souls who died serving God. No other human carries such a regime.
And when the Jews say to the Gentile, get back we are His chosen. Then we say, a woman by the name of Rahab told the Hebrew spies that she knew the God of the Jews was God because she had heard what Adonai was doing in the other Nations,
then Ruth said, “your God is my God and your people are my people.” The God of Israel heard both women, and because they faithfully acknowledged the Almighty, He brings the Messiah’s bloodline through two pagan women.
Matthew 1:5 (NLT)
5 Salmon was the father of Boaz (whose mother was Rahab).
Boaz was the father of Obed (whose mother was Ruth).
Obed was the father of Jesse.
It seems that so that Adonai could raise up
John 5:39-40 (CJB)
39 You keep examining the Tanakh (Jewish Bible) because you think that in it you have eternal life. Those very Scriptures bear witness to me, 40 but you won’t come to me in order to have life!
“Mashiach” Anointed Messiah
Matthew 1:1 (Jewish New Testament Commentary)
“Messiah,” a transliteration of the Hebrew word; there the JNT uses “Mashiach” (see Yn 1:41 N).
The JNT also renders “Christos” as “Mashiach”
Different Bible Translations of Romans 10:17
Romans 10:16-17 (Complete Jewish Bible)
16 The problem is that they haven’t all paid attention to the Good News and obeyed it. For Yesha’yahu says,
“ADONAI, who has trusted what he has heard from us?”
17 So trust comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through a word proclaimed about the Messiah.
Romans 10:17 (AMPC)
17 So faith comes by hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the preaching [of the message that came from the lips] of Christ (the Messiah Himself).
Romans 1:17-18 (Jewish New Testament Commentary)
17 The Gospel discloses how God makes people righteous in his sight; these eight words render two Greek words which mean, literally, “God’s righteousness.” This is the theme of the first eleven chapters of the book of Romans.
From beginning to end it is through “trust” (see Ac 3:16 N). Without trust in God, one cannot understand God’s means of making people righteous in his sight. The eleventh-century theologian Anselm put it simply and straightforwardly: “I believe so that I may understand.” Sha’ul quotes the prophet Habakkuk in the Tanakh to prove his point, and in so doing he proves mistaken narrow-minded Christians who regard Judaism as lacking the element of faith.
A literal rendering of this verse is: “For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith; as it has been written, ‘And the righteous one by faith will live.’ “
18-32 These verses depict the dreadful consequences of rejecting God. One must understand the “Bad News” before one can properly appreciate the Good News and the central role of trust (faith) in appropriating it.
Furthermore, anyone who follows the teachings of Christ opens a door for blessings and protection from the Kingdom of God. The Lord will become friends of those who seek Him. When believers leave a door open for the Lord (Adonai) will bless that household and cause that home to prosper in the knowledge of the Lord.
Kingdom of Darkness’ attacks understanding the word of God
Matthew 13:19-23 (NLT)
19 The seed that fell on the footpath represents those who hear the message about the Kingdom and don’t understand it. Then the evil one comes and snatches away the seed that was planted in their hearts. 20 The seed on the rocky soil represents those who hear the message and immediately receive it with joy. 21 But since they don’t have deep roots, they don’t last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God’s word. 22 The seed that fell among the thorns represents those who hear God’s word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life and the lure of wealth, so no fruit is produced. 23 The seed that fell on good soil represents those who truly hear and understand God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!”
The Lord of Heaven wouldn’t ever allow conditions to exist that would cause a divide between Heaven and Earth. The fallen son of God (Lucifer) took on the persona of a serpent as he set out to undermine his Lord and God’s Creation. It shouldn’t be any shock to anyone familiar with the messages of the Hebrew prophets and the Jewish master sages of how Satanic interventions were recorded throughout history, fighting the integrity of the Messiah’s narrative. Kings, prophets, families, and innocent babies suffered the unparalleled fury of Satan because of his resentment of the story concerning Yeshua, God’s servant.
Satan could see this prophetic event coming to pass; his fear was the prophecy: the child of a Jewish woman would crush his head!
Over four thousand years of lineage, ancestry observance of prophetic events, and Jewish feasts record God laying bread crumbs pointing to the Messiah. How humanly impossible would it have been to hide the Redeemer of mankind from the Devil for thousands of years, yet in full view, telling His story? Also, in the end, God would reveal His Champion; those who search for Him shall find Him? No human ancestry could precisely fulfill all of the Bible’s prophesy in one lifetime, but how impressive is the God of Israel who tells the story of His ultimate Sin-offering – God’s only begotten, Son, Jesus.
The weapon system God set aside was Mary; the head crusher who lived on the mountain, and who was at Calvary. The Temple where the curtain was torn in half was also there. Additionally, the Garden of Gethsemane was there. All of these were deep historical events that pointed to the Lord’s Servant.
Even prior to the conquest of the city of Jebus – which became the City of David, (1 Chronicles 11:4) – we know of the existence of Jerusalem from the record of Abraham’s visit to Melchizedek there, recorded in Genesis Chapter 14. Although the original inhabitants were descendants of Noah’s son Caanan, Melchizedek was both a priest and a king of “God Most High,” in Jerusalem about 4 millennia ago. Melchizedek (his name means “king of righteousness”) was a man to whom Abraham paid tithes, and he is a “type” of Jesus Christ as the believer’s Great High Priest, (Psalm 110:4, Hebrews 5-7).
So Abraham called the name of that place The LORD will provide; as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.” And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven, and said, “By myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will indeed bless you, and I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore. And your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies, and by your descendants shall all the nations of the Earth bless themselves, because you have obeyed my voice.” So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beer-sheba, and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba. http://www.templemount.org/moriah2.html
It is imperative to note translation differences of Romans 10:17, where the King James Bible states:
Romans 10:17 (KJV) “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
This Scripture is responsible for bringing millions who came to faith in the Messiah. On the other hand, many presumptuous teachers followed this path to a new faith movement. And, some individuals without the proper knowledge, dared to venture into prideful teaching that was totally unlike the humility found in the Messiah. Unfortunately, they are redirecting the sacred breadcrumbs of the Kingdom of God by promoting wealth, fame and fortune unto themselves.
Philippians 3:7-9 (NLT)
7 I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. 8 Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake, I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ 9 and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ.
Following the suffering Messiah
Philippians 3:9-11 (NLT)
For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith. 10 I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, 11 so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!
In the year of 1611, a European translator removed the Jewishness from Adonai’s story about His Messianic Son. Jewish culture, feasts, cities, lineage, and people of the Bible names were replaced with European sounding names.
Yet, God was still able to get the message across. Romans 10:17 is meant as a bread crumb passage.
“Whom we preach“
Colossians 1:27-29 (CWSB)
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto I also labor, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
So, when we have faith in Christ, everything of God comes inside of us working for our good to bring us to the goal of our cross, there we die. At that point, we start changing into a son of God.
John 1:12-13 (CJB)
12 But to as many as did receive him, to those who put their trust in his person and power, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 not because of bloodline, physical impulse or human intention, but because of God.
Romans 8:13-14 (CJB)
13 For if you live according to your old nature, you will certainly die; but if, by the Spirit, you keep putting to death the practices of the body, you will live.
14 All who are led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons.
operative
Romans 10:17-18 (NLT)
17 So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ. 18 But I ask, have the people of Israel actually heard the message? Yes, they have:
“The message has gone throughout the earth, and the words to all the world.”
Romans 10:17-18 (HCSB)
17 So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ. 18 But I ask, “Did they not hear?” Yes, they did:
Romans 10:17 (MSG)
17 The point is, Before you trust, you have to listen. But unless Christ’s Word is preached, there’s nothing to listen to.
Romans 10:17 (NIV 1984)
17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.
What does it mean to take up your cross and follow Jesus? The cross was an instrument of death. What Jesus is referring to is a commitment to Him, even unto death—obedience to the extreme measure and willingness to die in pursuit of obedience. Death on a cross was not pleasant. It was painful and humiliating. The implication is that even if obedience is painful and humiliating, we should be willing to endure it for Christ.https://www.compellingtruth.org/take-up-your-cross.html
