The Original Covenant

Are there books in the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament) that should not be there?

The canon of the Original Covenant has remained unchanged until this present time even though there have been many attempts to remove some of the books from the canon of the Original Covenant that was handed down from the time of Nehemiah.  There is an unbroken chain of evidence about the canon of the Original Covenant.

The oldest complete Hebrew codex of the Original Covenant still in existence was completed in 1008 AD and is today known as the Leningrad Codex.  The Aleppo Codex is about 80 years older but most of the Torah portion and many other parts were destroyed in anti-Israel riots in Aleppo, Syria in 1947.  However, the contents of it were thoroughly document before 1947 and was even used to ensure that the Leningrad Codex was correct.  Both of these complete codices of the Original Covenant contained the exact same books that are listed in the canon of modern copies of the Original Covenant.

The oldest complete Greek translations of the Original Covenant are from the fourth century AD and they contain all of the books listed in the canon of modern copies of the Original Covenant.

There are also many incomplete Hebrew codices and manuscripts that date all of the way back to the time of the Dead Sea scrolls that were written at about 200 BC.  Among these manuscripts is every single book in the modern canon of the Original Covenant and every single word of every single book.  The archaeological evidence shows that there is nothing in the modern copies of the Original Covenant that should not be there.

The historical evidence mirrors the physical evidence.

Many early sources, including the Jewish historian Josephus, show that by the time of the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ), the exact same canon of the Original Covenant was in use then is still in use today.  Josephus wrote that the canon of the Original Covenant had been long established since the time of Nehemiah.  This shows that it was not a recently composed list in 70 AD.

Josephus further explained that no books after the time of Nehemiah were accepted as scripture because the succession of the Prophets of Truth ended at that time.  He said that for this reason no other books were allowed in the canon of the Original Covenant even though the Jews continued to keep meticulous books of history of the events after that time like the book of Maccabees.

The book of Maccabees also gives witness that no Prophets of Truth rose up to continue the succession of the Prophets of Truth after the time of Nehemiah.

Indeed, the last of the Prophets of Truth recorded in the Original Covenant, Zechariah (Zecharyah) and Haggai (Chagi), lived at the time of Nehemiah (Ezra 6:14).  

So there could not be any books slipped into the canon of the Original Covenant that were written later because the first qualification for a book to be accepted in the canon of the Original Covenant was that it was written by a Prophet of Truth.

The Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) said that the entire Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament) consisted of three sections - the Law (The Torah), the Prophets and the Psalms (The Writings) (Luke 24:44).

The certainty that there were no books slipped into the Original Covenant is further shown by examining the Original Covenant to see if all of the books fit together.  Careful examination will show that they fit together to form a tree of wondrous strength.

Not only that but the Renewed Covenant also gives witness that no books were slipped into the Original Covenant somehow.

All but ten of the books that appear in the thirty-nine book modern canon of the Original Covenant are quoted in the Renewed Covenant.  Of the ten books that are not directly quoted there are references to people and events that are in five of them.

The number of books goes down in both cases when you use the twenty-four book canon of the Original Covenant in a modern Tanakh.  (These both contain the same materials but they are divided differently.  For example, 1 Chronicles and 2 Chronicles is a single book named Chronicles in the Tanakh.)

When you consider the twenty-two scrolls that Josephus records that contained the Original Covenant at the time that the Renewed Covenant was written then you find that all but six are quoted in the Renewed Covenant and that there are references people and events in all but three of them.

Besides the almost 300 direct quotes of the Original Covenant in the Renewed Covenant and the many more references to people and events there are also thousands of allusions in the Renewed Covenant to things in the Original Covenant - including 620 such allusions in the book of Revelation alone.

So the Renewed Covenant shows that no books were slipped into the Original Covenant because it quotes, refers to and has allusions to almost every book in the Original Covenant and it has already been shown that all of the books of the Original Covenant are tied together.

The Original Covenant told that the Renewed Covenant was going to be made with the people of Israel after they returned to the Promised Land (Jeremiah 31:27-34).  ["B'rit Chadashah" translated here as "New Covenant" literally means "Renewed Covenant".]  This Renewed Covenant was made because the people of Israel could not keep the covenant that was originally given as faithfully recorded in the pages of the Original Covenant (Hebrews 8:8-12).  ["Diatheken Kainen" translated here as "New Covenant" literally means "Renewed Covenant".]

The Original Covenant is often incorrectly translated as Old Testament but it is more literally the Ancient Covenant (2 Corinthians 3:14). ["Palaias Diathekes" translated here as "Old Testament" literally means "Ancient Covenant".]  So the ancient covenant was renewed to become the Renewed Covenant because it was the original covenant that came first (Hebrews 8:13). [The word "Covenant" is not even in the original text here as indicated being italicized in the KJV.  The text more literally reads, "In that He says, He has renewed the ancient that came first which by now had grown old and weak from age - nearly vanishing away."]

So the ancient covenant that was originally there has been renewed in the form of the Renewed Covenant.  Since the Torah, The Writings and The Prophets contains the ancient covenant that was renewed I call the collection of these books, "The Original Covenant".

The central theme of the Original Covenant is the Man of Truth and every story in every book tells about him in some manner (Luke 24:44-47).  It is only by coming into the House of Truth through the Man of Truth that the Original Covenant can be understood when it is read (2 Corinthians 3:13-16).  Both the writings of the Prophets of Truth in the Original Covenant and the writings of the Apostles of Truth in the Renewed Covenant center on the Man of Truth (Ephesians 2:20).

So the books of the Renewed Covenant complete the story that the books of the Original Covenant began.  These two collections of books cannot stand alone because they are The Inseparable Covenants.

The Man of Truth renewed the ancient covenant into a better covenant by making a perfect sacrifice for sin that no priest in the Original Covenant could make (Hebrews 7:22-27).  The Man of Truth renewed the ancient covenant to form the much better Renewed Covenant by shedding his own blood to cleanse people from sin forever (Hebrews 9:12-15).

The Man of Truth did not just die for the sins of others but the Father of Truth raised him from the dead so that he could make intercession for the Children of Truth when the ancient covenant was renewed (Romans 8:34).  Since the Man of Truth now lives forever he can make always make intercession unlike the priests in the Original Covenant (Hebrews 7:23-28).

Therefore you can only come into the House of Truth to benefit from the renewal of the ancient covenant if you surrender control of your life to the Man of Truth because your believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  The Good News that was first preached in the Original Covenant will only benefit those who have enough confidence in the Father of Truth to take action on all that He has provided (Hebrews 4:2).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Promised Land

Do the Jews have a right to live in the Promised Land today?

This question is best answered by considering the history of the Promised Land and the Jews that is given in the Book of Truth (The Bible).

The Philistines (Palestinians) invaded the area of Gaza from Egypt (Mizraim) long after the Flood (Genesis 10:13-14). [Philistim/Philestine/Palestinian means "invader".]  The Canaanites were the first to inhabit the Promised Land right after the Flood (Genesis 10:15-19).  Later, the Father of Truth said that the descendants of Abraham (Abram) would spend the next four hundred years split between living in lands that were not theirs and being in bondage until they were delivered from that bondage when the wickedness of the Canaanites reached full maturity (Genesis 15:13-16).  Then He made a covenant to give all the land of the Canaanites that went from the River of Egypt to the Euphrates River to the descendants of Abraham (Genesis 15:17-21). [The river of Egypt here is the eastern most of the seven streams that the Nile River divides into when it forms the Nile delta."]  He made covenants with Abraham, Isaac (Yitzakh) and Jacob (Ya'acob aka Israel) to give the descendants of Israel the Promised Land (Genesis 35:10-12).  More than one hundred years later the descendants of Israel came to Egypt (Genesis 46:26-27).

After more than two hundred years in slavery in Egypt the deliverance of the descendants of Israel came by Moses so they could be brought into the Promised Land (Exodus 3:15-17).  After forty years in the wilderness, Moses gave instructions to the people of Israel for when they entered the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 4:1-5).  While they were in the wilderness the covenant containing the commandments of the Father of Truth was given to the people of Israel so that He could bring about the promises He made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Deuteronomy 29:9-13).  The Father of Truth could only fulfill His promise to give the Promised Land to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to those who were obedient to His commandments in the Torah (Deuteronomy 30:16-20).  Finally the command was given for Joshua to lead the people of Israel into the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 31:3-8).

Joshua made sure that the people of Israel heard the entire Torah so they could carry out its instructions (Joshua 8:33-35).  After destroying the Canaanites out of some of the cities of the Promised Land, Joshua divided the conquered land between the twelve tribes of Israel as Moses had commanded (Joshua 14:2-5).  Joshua told the people of Israel to continue to do what was written in the Torah at the end of his life (Joshua 23:2-6).

After this the people of Israel turned against the Father of Truth and He delivered them into the hands of their enemies in the Promised Land (Judges 2:11-15).  Still the Father of Truth raised up Judges of Truth to deliver the people of Israel and to turn them back to Him as Prophets of Truth but the people of Israel persisted in worshiping idols contrary to what was written in the Torah (Judges 2:16-20).  All during this time there was chaos because every man did what he thought was right since there was no king to enforce the commandments of the Torah (Judges 21:25).

Not long afterwards, Israel demanded to have a king like the other nations instead of the Father of Truth raising up Judges of Truth and Saul was chosen as the first king of the twelve tribe kingdom of Israel (1 Samuel 10:17-24).  King Saul did not carry out the will of the Father of Truth so the Father of Truth said that He would replace him with someone better (1 Samuel 13:13-14).  David became the king of Israel in the place of Saul because he was willing to carry out the will of the Father of Truth (Acts 13:21-22).

When King David became old then his son Solomon became the next king of Israel after King David commanded him to carry out the will of the Father of Truth by obeying Him in everything (1 Kings 2:1-3).  King David also charged Solomon to build the Temple and to continue to lead the people of Israel in following the Torah (1 Chronicles 22:6-13).  So King Solomon built the Temple and celebrated one of the Feasts of Truth (Moedim aka Feasts of the Father of Truth) there with all of the men of Israel (2 Chronicles 5:1-3).

Yet King Solomon did worship idols to please his many wives so the Father of Truth said that He would tear most of the kingdom of Israel out of the hand of the son of King Solomon with only one tribe besides his own remaining under his rule (1 Kings 11:9-13). So the twelve tribe kingdom of Israel was divided with Jeroboam (Yerob'am) as the king of the ten tribe kingdom of Israel and the son of King Solomon, King Rehoboam (Rechab'am),as the king of the two tribe kingdom of Judah (1 Kings 12:19-21).

King Jeroboam soon set up his own idolatrous worship system in the two tribe kingdom of Israel so his people would not go to Jerusalem to worship as the Torah commanded (1 Kings 12:28-33).

In the Torah, the Father of Truth had said that when the people of Israel left off following Him to follow after idols in the Promised Land then He would scatter the people of Israel among other nations outside of the Promised Land where they would have to serve idols (Deuteronomy 4:25-28).  The Father of Truth had spoken in days of King Jeroboam that the people of the ten tribe kingdom of Israel would be scattered beyond the Euphrates River one day for following in the footsteps of King Jeroboam (1 Kings 14:15-16).  The Father of Truth graciously gave the ten tribe kingdom of Israel centuries to repent so He could bring about everything that He had promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob concerning their descendants and the Promised Land (2 Kings 13:23).  Every single king of the ten tribe kingdom of Israel lead the people in following in the footsteps of King Jeroboam so the descendants of Israel were removed from their part of the Promised Land and scattered beyond the Euphrates River by the Assyrians (2 Kings 17:21-23).

King Rehoboam and the people in the two tribe kingdom of Judah also forsook obeying the commandments of the Father of Truth in the Torah as soon as the kingdom had became stable and strong (2 Chronicles 12:1).

Afterwards, King Asa became the first king of Judah to do what was right in the eyes of the Father of Truth by destroying the idols out of the kingdom of Judah (1 Kings 15:11-14).  This pattern of some kings of Judah doing what was evil, that was occasionally interrupted by other kings doing what was right, continued to ratchet the kingdom of Judah downward until King Manasseh made it to become worse than the Canaanites who had been cast out of the Promised Land when the people of Israel came in (2 Kings 21:1-9).

The Father of Truth had said in the Torah that He would cast the people of Israel out of the Promised Land, like He had cast out the Canaanites, when they did the same things as the Canaanites (Leviticus 18:24-28).  He said that when they became this evil then He would send a terrible nation from far away whose speech they could not understand to bring such evil upon their land that they would even eat the flesh of their own children (Deuteronomy 28:49-57).  He said that He would remove the few survivors off of the Promised Land and cause them to be carried away to other nations where they would serve idols instead of Him (Deuteronomy 28:62-64).  So He spoke through the Prophets of Truth that all of this would soon come upon the kingdom of Judah because King Manasseh had lead the kingdom of Judah into doing worse than the Canaanites had done (2 Kings 21:10-16).

Yet there was one last king of Judah who did what was right in the eyes of the Father of Truth named Josiah (2 Kings 22:1-2).  So Huldah (Chuledah), the Prophetess of Truth, told King Josiah that the terrible judgment announced in the days of King Manasseh would not come upon the kingdom of Judah in his lifetime because he had sought to bring the kingdom of Judah to repentance (2 Kings 22:14-20).

After King Josiah had died, then the king of Babylon, which had conquered Assyria, conquered the kingdom of Judah during the reign of the next king to bring about all that the Father of Truth had said would come upon the kingdom of Judah for committing the sins that King Manasseh had lead them to commit (2 Kings 24:1-4).  So the king of Babylon destroyed Jerusalem, looted and destroyed the Temple, and scattered the people of Judah in the land of Babylon - beyond the Euphrates River (2 Kings 25:1-12).

However, the Father of Truth also said in the Torah that when the people of Israel would turn back to Him while they were in captivity for their sins then He would bring them back into the Promised Land from all the places where He had scattered them (Deuteronomy 30:1-5).   So Cyrus the Persian, the King of Persia, which had conquered Babylon, issued a decree that the Jews could return to the land of Judah (Ezra 1:1-3).

The Babylonian exile only lasted for seventy years before the Jews began returning to the Promised Land (Jeremiah 29:10).  However, when the Jews were cast out of the Promised Land and scattered for a third time by the Romans it was more than 1700 years before the Jews began returning to the Promised Land.  What could have the Jews done that was so much worse than tolerating homosexuality and worshiping idols in the Temple that caused them to be so much more severely punished?

In the Torah, Moses said that the Father of Truth would raise up another Prophet of Truth like himself from among the descendants of Israel and the people of Israel must do what that Prophet of Truth commands them to do (Deuteronomy 18:15). The Father of Truth would command that Prophet of Truth to speak the words that He told him to speak because the people of Israel did not want to hear the voice of the Father of Truth  (Deuteronomy 18:16-18).  Therefore the people of Israel must do what that Prophet of Truth said or the Father of Truth would require it of any who did not obey (Deuteronomy 18:19).

The Man of Truth is a Jew who came from the line of King David (Matthew 1:17).  The Man of Truth is that Prophet of Truth who only spoke what the Father of Truth commanded him to speak so that the people of Israel must do what he says (John 12:48-50).  The Man of Truth is that Prophet of Truth who speaks the words of the Father of Truth instead of people hearing the voice of the Father of Truth (John 14:8-10).  Therefore any of the people of Israel who would not obey the Man of Truth by turning away from their disobedience to Torah as he commanded will be destroyed (Acts 3:22-26).

Yet the very people that the Man of Truth came out of did not honor him as that Prophet of Truth (Mark 6:1-4).  The Man of Truth came unto the descendants of Israel that he belonged to but most of them did not accept him as that Prophet of Truth (John 1:11).  Even his own brothers in his own family did not believe that he was that Prophet of Truth (John 7:3-5).  The people of Israel rejected the Man of Truth as the King of Israel from the line of King David and demanded that Caesar be their king instead (John 19:12-15).  The people of Israel demanded that the Man of Truth be put to death, who the Father of Truth proved was that Prophet of Truth when He raised him from the dead, so that a violent rebel against the Romans could go free (Acts 3:13-15).

In the Torah, the Father of Truth had said that He would cast the people of Israel out of the Promised Land and scatter them among the heathen if they pursued after idols (Leviticus 26:30-33).  The length of time that the people of Israel would be in exile would be based on how many Sabbath years they did not let the land rest ((Leviticus 26:34-35).  So the Babylonian exile only lasted for seventy years (Jeremiah 25:11).

Yet the Man of Truth said that the Romans would in like manner cast the people out of the land and scatter them among all nations for a very long time - until the times of the Gentiles ruling over the Promised Land was coming to an end (Luke 21:20-24).  The Man of Truth is that Prophet of Truth who is greater than Moses just a son is greater than a servant (Hebrews 3:1-6).  Therefore the punishment for disregarding the commandments spoken by that Prophet of Truth and mistreating him is far more severe than the punishment of disregarding the commandments spoken by Moses (Hebrews 10:28-31).

Still it is evident that the Jewish people have been returning to the Promised Land since about 1870, obtained legal ownership of it in 1917, have possessed part of it as the country of Israel since 1948 and have regained control of most of Jerusalem since 1967.

The Father of Truth has been returning them to the land for several reasons.

The people of Israel were never given the Promised Land in the first place because they were so deserving but because the Canaanites were so wicked and because of the promises that were made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Deuteronomy 9:4-6).  The Father of Truth said that He would never leave them cast out and scattered forever because He did not want the Gentiles to think that they did this instead of Him (Deuteronomy 32:26-27).  Therefore He spoke through the Prophet of Truth that they would return to the Promised Land after many days and then begin to seek after Him in the last days (Hosea 3:4-5).

The Father of Truth can no more break His promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob about their descendants living in the Promised Land forever by casting them away than He could nullify His laws that run the universe (Jeremiah 33:25-26).  So the Father of Truth has not cast away the people of Israel because there has always been some of the descendants of Israel, like the Apostles of Truth, who obeyed the Torah and that Prophet of Truth (Romans 11:1-5).

The Father of Truth said in the Torah that when the descendents of Israel return to the Promised Land for the last time that he would then circumcise their hearts so they could obey Him and then He would place the curses that had been on them upon those who hate the Jewish people (Deuteronomy 30:5-7).   The Man of Truth was sent to help the people of Israel to be able to live in the Promised Land as the Father of Truth had promised Abraham (Luke 1:54-55).  The Man of Truth was sent for the very purpose of bringing about the promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that the descendants of Israel would possess the Promised Land forever (Luke 1:70-75).

The Man of Truth is coming back to rule the world and will have each of his twelve Apostles of Truth rule over a tribe of Israel (Matthew 19:27-28).  The Man of Truth said that they will rule with him in a twelve tribe kingdom of Israel that is yet to come (Luke 22:28-30).  The Man of Truth said the day is coming when His Father will send him back to completely restore the twelve tribe kingdom of Israel in the Promised Land (Acts 1:6-7).  When the process of the people of Israel being restored to the Promised Land, that began around 1870, is completed then all of the people of Israel will be saved by surrendering to the Man of Truth (Romans 11:25-27).  The Father of Truth has never stopped loving the people of Israel because He has never forgotten His promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob give the people of Israel the Promised Land (Romans 11:28).
It must never be forgotten that the Man of Truth is first and foremost the Messiah of Israel who will bring about everything that His Father promised concerning the Promised Land.  Those who fight against the Jews living in the Promised Land are fighting against the Father of Truth because He is the Greatest Zionist.

The Father of Truth also has made wonderful promises concerning the Gentiles as well in the same Everlasting Covenant that contains the promises concerning the Promised Land.  After all, it has always been about the Gentiles.

For this reason, the Father of Truth said only after the Gentiles came to put their trust in the Man of Truth then He would begin returning the Jews to the Promised Land from every country on Earth where He had scattered them to for a second time like He did after the Babylonian Captivity was over (Isaiah 11:10-12).  Therefore the Man of Truth said that the Good News must be preached to every Gentile nation before the events that bring about His return could begin (Matthew 24:14).  The Man of Truth commissioned the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) to take the Good New to every nation so the Gentiles could put their trust in him to bring about the return of the Jews to the Promised Land (Mark 16:15). (It took until about 1870 before there were finally at least some Gentiles of every nation that had come into the House of Truth.)

The Gentiles of every nation had to be brought into the House of Truth so the Jews could begin returning to the Promised Land because the Man of Truth cannot return to this Earth to bring about all that His Father spoke through the Prophets of Truth until after the Jews are back in the Promised Land (Acts 3:20-21).

So it is certain that the Jews have a right to live in the Promised Land today.  Not only have the Jews been coming back to the Promised Land in ever increasing numbers since about 1870, but they have also been coming into the House of Truth in ever increasing numbers since that time.  In fact, there are more Jews who have come into the House of Truth and living in the Promised Land today than any time since the Romans expelled them in 135 AD.   You can be certain that the Father of Truth is at work to bring about everything He promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob about giving the Promised Land to their descendants forever.

Of course, none of these promises or covenants are of any value unless you first come into the House of Truth.  These promises and covenants only work to your benefit when you make the Man of Truth the king of your life now because you believe that His Father raised Him from the dead as part of His plan to bring about everything that He spoke concerning the Promised Land (Romans 10:8-10).  Both Jews and Gentiles come into the House of Truth in the exact same way (Romans 10:11-13).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Meaning of Liberty

What do the words on the Liberty Bell really mean?

The Liberty Bell has long been a symbol of American Liberty and Independence.  Around the top of the Liberty Bell are these words "Proclaim LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants Thereof Lev. XXV. v X." that give the Liberty Bell its name.

These words embody the American idea that liberty is meant to be for all the inhabitants of America, even though it took far too long for this noble goal to come a reality for all of its inhabitants.  But what exactly is the meaning of liberty?

The best way to understand this is to begin with the source of proclaiming liberty that is referenced on the Liberty Bell itself - Leviticus 25:10.  This is a verse in the Book of Truth (The Bible).  This reference in the Book of Truth is given because the meaning of liberty is truly understood by examining what the Book of Truth says the meaning of liberty is.

The best place to start is by examining the context of Leviticus 25:10 where the words "Proclaim LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants Thereof" appear.  The liberty that is to be proclaimed is the liberty that is given in the year of Jubilee when every man returns to live with their family on the property of their family (Leviticus 25:9-10).

Liberty means that families have a grand reunion when every man comes home (Leviticus 25:10).  Liberty does not just mean that every man returns to the property of their family but also that it is a time for the entire family to rest from all labor and live off of the land (Leviticus 25:11-12).  Liberty means that every family is united when all of the men in the family return to the family land to live in their possession among their own extended family (Leviticus 25:13).  Liberty means that every man is given get back his portion of the family land so he can come home (Leviticus 25:27-28).  Liberty that every man is set free from bondage so he can return to his place in the family (Leviticus 25:40-41).

Liberty means that a family gets back all the land that belongs to the family in the year of Jubilee so that land always remains in the possession of the family and effectively means that a man can only rent his portion of the family land until the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:14-16).  Liberty means that every family can get back any portion of the family land by buying it back according to the proportion of the original sales price that is determined by the number of years remaining until the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:24-27).   Liberty means that in the year of Jubilee if they were not able to buy it back sooner then every man still gets back the family land that was granted to him (Leviticus 25:28).  Liberty means that only houses inside the walls of a city may permanently change hands from one family to another if the house cannot be bought back within a year (Leviticus 25:29-30).  Liberty means that the houses in cities without a wall are counted as part of the family land and return to the family in the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:31).  Liberty means that the Levites, (the religious professionals of Israel) still gets back their houses in the year of Jubilee, even the houses in a walled city, because they have no possession outside of the walled cities except for the small fields that belong to the city (Leviticus 25:32-34).

Liberty means that if a man becomes poor and has to sell his portion of the family land that he will not lose it forever but get it back in the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:25-28).  Liberty means that if a man becomes poor that his countrymen will give him an interest free loan (Leviticus 25:35-37).  Liberty means that if a man becomes poor and has to sell himself to one of his countrymen to pay back the loan then he shall go free in the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:39-40).  Liberty means that if a man becomes poor and has to sell himself to a foreigner living in his country to pay back the loan that he shall still go free in the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:47-50).  Liberty means that if a man becomes poor and has to sell himself to anyone that he and his children will go free in the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:51-54).

So in context liberty means a man being restored to his place in his own extended family, getting back his portion of the family land, being able to rest from his labors, being able to enjoy his portion, being set free from bondage and having every debt forgiven!

The year of Jubilee does not occur independently but is the end of a fifty year cycle that has seven shorter cycles that last seven years each that are followed by the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:8-10). 

The longest a man can serve another to pay a debt is six years and will go free in the seventh year unless the year of Jubilee cuts his time short (Exodus 21:2).  When a man goes free then he is to be given what he needs to start over instead of going away empty handed (Deuteronomy 15:12-14).

In like manner, in each of the shorter seven year cycles, the land is to rest like it does in the year of Jubilee in a pattern similar to people resting on the seventh day of each week (Exodus 23:10-12).   Whatever the land produces in this Sabbath year can be eaten by people and their animals when it is ripe but it cannot be harvested or stored for later use (Leviticus 25:5-7).

At the end of each seven year cycle is the year of release when every debt is also to be forgiven (Deuteronomy 15:1-3).  (This why bankruptcy can only be filed every seven years in American bankruptcy law.)  No one is to refuse to loan to the poor among them if the year of release is near (Deuteronomy 15:7-10).

All of this liberty, that includes family land that can never be lost and the cancellation of every debt, is only possible because the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) makes it possible.  This liberty comes from obeying His commandments (Leviticus 25:17-19).  It is speaking the Word of Truth found in the Book of Truth and keeping the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) that causes people to walk in liberty (Psalm 119:43-45).

The Sabbath year for the land to rest belongs to the Father of Truth as much as the Sabbath day for people to rest belongs to Him so He makes it possible for the land to rest in the Sabbath year (Leviticus 25:1-3).  The Father of Truth causes a triple size bumper crop to occur on the sixth year of each seven year cycle that will provide enough to eat until the harvest of the first year of the next seven year cycle is brought in (Leviticus 25:20-22).

The portion of the family land is to be returned to the man who sold it because all of the land belongs to the Father of Truth and people are just His tenants (Leviticus 25:23-24).

No one is to charge interest when they make a loan to their brother because they are to acknowledge that everything they have came from the Father of Truth in the first place (Leviticus 25:36-38).  No one is to withhold loaning to their brother in need when the year of release is near because to withhold from lending to their brother in need is a sin against the Father of Truth and because the Father of Truth promises to bless whoever loans to their brother in such circumstances (Deuteronomy 15:8-10).

In like manner, everyone is to let their brother go from their servitude to return to their portion of the family land in the year of Jubilee because all of them are servants to the Father of Truth (Leviticus 25:40-42).  No one is to deny them from being redeemed or to be a harsh taskmaster over them or prevent them from being released in the year of Jubilee because all of them are His servants (Leviticus 25:52-55).  No one is to send their brother away empty when they are released because they are to remember that the Father of Truth first redeemed them from bondage and brought them into a place of prosperity (Deuteronomy 15:13-15).  No one is to be reluctant to send their brother away fully furnished after their years of servitude are over because they have received both the labor of their brother and the promised of the Father of Truth to bless them in everything they do (Deuteronomy 15:18).

In similar manner, oppression, the opposite of liberty, comes from not keeping the commandments of the Father of Truth.  King Zedekiah obeyed the Father of Truth and made a covenant with the people of Judah to set all of their brothers at liberty because they had served for six years (Jeremiah 34:8-10).  However, the people of Judah then turned around and took away the liberty of their brothers to oppress them (Jeremiah 34:11).  The Father of Truth then said that liberty had came to everyone when they kept His commandments (Jeremiah 34:13-15).  However, now oppression would come to everyone because they were not keeping His commandments (Jeremiah 34:16-20).

So then the words on the Liberty Bell really mean that the liberty that comes from keeping the commandments of the Father of Truth is to be proclaimed throughout the land of America.  These words were first meant for the descendants of Israel and for this reason America has given the modern nation of Israel a replica of the Liberty Bell that is displayed at a park in Jerusalem.

Yet how can this liberty to be proclaimed among people who are not descendants of Israel?

The Prophet of Truth called Isaiah (Yeshayahu) said the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) would rest upon the Messiah to would bring about this liberty to everyone who was in bondage and then bring about everything that the Father of Truth had promised concerning the descendants of Israel (Isaiah 61:1-3).  When the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) came to the Earth the first time, he said that the time of the first part of the mission of the Messiah spoken of by Isaiah had arrived when the Spirit of Truth would rest upon the Messiah to bring about this liberty (Luke 4:17-19).  The Man of Truth then told them that he was the Messiah and had came to proclaim the liberty at the appointed time (Luke 4:19-21).

All of creation will experience liberty when the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) come into their inheritance (Romans 8:19-21).  The Man of Truth takes away the veil that keeps people from doing what is written in the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament) by giving them the Spirit of Truth who brings them into the liberty comes from obeying the Father of Truth (2 Corinthians 3:14-17).  This liberty comes not from the circumcision of the flesh but from the truth of the Good News (Galatians 2:3-5).  This liberty does not come from trying to keep His commandments in the Law of Truth through the power of the flesh (Galatians 5:1-3).  This liberty comes from the Spirit of Truth giving people the ability to keep His commandments so that they can love other people in the way the Father of Truth desires (Galatians 5:13-16).  The Spirit of Truth puts the Law of Truth within the Children of Truth so they can obey His commandments instead putting them under the Law of Truth that they can never obey in power of their own flesh (Galatians 5:16-18).

The Spirit of Truth causes the Children of Truth to keep His Commandments found in the Word of Truth so that they will be blessed with the liberty that such obedience brings (James 1:22-25).  It is keeping His Commandments that define how to show love to other people that causes the Children of Truth to walk in liberty (James 2:8-12).

So liberty is not meant to be the means to cause others to go into disobedience to the Father of Truth (1 Corinthians 8:9).  Liberty is meant to be the means to seek after the good of other people so that they might to be saved (1 Corinthians 10:29-33).  Liberty is not meant to allow people to be controlled by the desires of their flesh but to free them from such desires so that they can serve other people in love (Galatians 5:13).  Liberty is not meant to hide malicious intentions but to free people to serve the Father of Truth by obeying His commandments (1 Peter 2:16).  Anyone who tells people that giving into the desires of their flesh instead of obeying His commandments is not leading people into liberty but into the slavery of sin (2 Peter 2:18-19).

So the same liberty that Israel will experience when it surrenders to the Man of Truth can be experienced by anyone who surrenders to the Man of Truth now.

It is by doing what the Man of Truth says that people can come to experience freedom (John 8:31-32).  No one is really free until the Man of Truth sets them free from the bondage of sin (John 8:34-36).   Anyone who comes into the House of Truth will have their heart circumcised so that they can experience this liberty (Romans 2:28-29).  Liberty is found by those who come into the House of Truth through total surrender to the Man of Truth because they believe that his Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).  This liberty is for Gentiles as well as Jews who come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:11-13).  The Gentiles who come into the House of Truth now have access to same liberty as the descendants of Israel (Ephesians 2:11-13).  The Man of Truth has came so that the liberty which comes from the Spirit of Truth helping those who come into the House of Truth to obey the commandments of His Father can be proclaimed throughout the land (1 Timothy 3:16)!

Come into the House of Truth!
