An Eternal Possession

Who obtains salvation as an eternal possession?

I recently heard a Bible teacher, who I greatly respect, talk about salvation as an eternal possession during his verse by verse teaching on several books of the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament).  His teaching on this subject was basically this:

Eternal life is not eternal, if a person can lose their salvation by turning away from the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).  Eternal life is an eternal possession that is given by the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD), so it cannot be lost.  Therefore, no one can lose salvation, once they are born again.

While there is no doubt that salvation is an eternal possession, none of the verses that he went over actually say that salvation becomes an eternal possession when someone is born again.  So the meaning of salvation being an eternal possession really hinges on one question:

Who obtains salvation as an eternal possession?

Salvation is not the only thing that has been promised as an eternal possession.  The Land of Israel was also promised as an eternal possession.  The key to understanding the method used to determine who obtains salvation as an eternal possession is understanding the method used to determine who obtains the Promised Land as an eternal possession.

The things that have happened to the physical descendants of Israel are examples, so that the Called Out Ones (Eklesia aka The Church) can understand how the Father of Truth deals with them (1 Corinthians 10:11). 

So, who was the Promised Land promised to as an eternal possession?

The Promised Land was promised to the descendants of Abraham (Abram) when he first arrived in the land (Genesis 12:5-7).  The Father of Truth promised that his descendants would be exceedingly great in number and that the Promised Land would be their eternal possession (Genesis 13:15-18).  The Father of Truth established the boundaries of the Promised Land with Abraham (Genesis 15:18-21).  This land was to be an eternal possession for those who were given the eternal seal of circumcision in their flesh (Genesis 17:7-13).

The Father of Truth promised Isaac (Yitzchaq), the son of Abraham, that his descendants would receive the Promised Land as an eternal possession, if he would stay in the Promised Land (Genesis 26:1-3).  Isaac remained in the Promised Land, and then gave the Promised Land to Israel (Yah'acov aka Jacob) and his descendants (Genesis 28:1-4).

The Father of Truth then confirmed that Israel and his descendants would indeed receive the Promised Land (Genesis 28:13-14).  The Father of Truth later confirmed that the Promised Land would belong to the descendants of Israel (Genesis 35:10-12).  The Father of Truth gave the Promised Land to the descendants of Israel as an eternal possession (Genesis 48:3-4).

Yet, it should be obvious that not all of the descendants of Israel have obtained the Promised Land as an eternal possession.

Four generations of the descendants of Israel died in Egypt without obtaining the Promised Land as an eternal possession (Genesis 15:13-16).  Only two of the generation that came out of Egypt even entered the Promised Land (Numbers 14:28-30).

Even when the next generation finished fighting to take possession of the Promised Land, they did not possess most of it (Joshua 13:1-6).  Later, King David took the northern most strip of the Promised Land, but no where near all of the Promised Land (1 Chronicles 18:3).  The closest that the descendants of Israel ever got to obtaining the entire Promised Land was under the reign of Solomon, who added the entire coastal strip along the Mediterranean Sea to what King David possessed, but they still never possessed all of the Promised Land (2 Chronicles 7:8).

Afterwards, the descendants of Israel who lived in the northern kingdom of Israel, lost all of the Promised Land that they had possessed (2 Kings 17:5-6).  Later, the descendants of Israel who lived in the southern kingdom of Judah, lost all of the Promised Land that they had possessed (2 Kings 25:21).

Seventy years later, a few of the descendants of Israel returned to the the southern kingdom of Judah to possess a small part of the Promised Land (Ezra 2:1).  By the time the Man of Truth began his ministry, the descendants of Israel still did not possess close to all of the Promised Land, and were dominated by Gentiles in the parts that they did possess (Luke 3:1).

About a hundred years later, the descendants of Israel who lived in the Promised Land were scattered by the Romans to all of the nations throughout the Roman Empire (Luke 21:20-24).

Then the descendants of Israel became scattered to the far ends of the Earth (Deuteronomy 28:63-64).  The Father of Truth did not bring them back to begin possessing the Promised Land again for about seventeen hundred years (Ezekiel 11:17).

Even today, the descendants of Israel only possess about ten percent of the Promised Land.  There has never been a time when all the descendants of Israel have possessed the entire Promised Land as an eternal possession.  Why is this?

The Father of Truth made this promise to Abraham to give the Promised Land to his descendants, because he had obeyed Him and believed His promises (Genesis 15:5-7).  The Father of Truth promised to give this land to his descendants, because of his obedience and faith (Genesis 24:7).  Abraham was given this promise, because he obeyed the laws and commandments of the Father of Truth (Genesis 26:3-5).  Abraham was given this promise, because he obeyed the Father of Truth by faith in the Father of Truth (Hebrews 11:8-9).

So, the Father of Truth gave this promise to Abraham that his descendants would be given the Promised Land as an eternal possession, because he had walked in all of His ways for all of his days.

The Father of Truth made this promise to Abraham, because He knew that Abraham would command his descendants to obey Him, so He could give them this eternal possession (Genesis 18:19).

The descendants of Abraham would possess the Promised Land when they obeyed the commandments of the Father of Truth, but would be vomited out of the land when they refused to so (Leviticus 20:22-24).  When a generation of the descendants of Israel turned against the Father of Truth and did what He said was wrong in the Law of Truth, even after the descendants of Israel had lived in the Promised Land for many years, then those descendants of Israel would be cast out of the Promised Land and scattered among the nations to live as an oppressed minority (Deuteronomy 4:25-27).  The descendants of Israel could only obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession by continually living in obedience to the Father of Truth (Deuteronomy 4:31-33).  The descendants of Israel could only keep the Promised Land all their days by living in obedience to the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) all of their days (Deuteronomy 12:1).  The descendants of Israel had to live in obedience like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in order to obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession (Deuteronomy 30:19-20).

So, this possession of the Promised Land was conditional upon obedience that came from faith in the Father of Truth.  The descendants of Israel would obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession when they continued to walk in all of His ways for all of their days.

Did they ever meet these conditions?

Most of the first generation of the descendants of Israel sought to kill their brother, but instead sold him to the Gentiles (Genesis 37:17-28).  So, the descendants of Israel were forced out of the Promised Land and into Egypt (Genesis 46:5-7).

While the descendants of Israel were in Egypt, they turned even further from the Father of Truth, so that they could not return to the Promised Land (Joshua 24:14).

The descendants of Israel that came out of Egypt did not possess any part of the Promised Land, because they did not obey the Father of Truth (Joshua 5:6).  They did not enter into His rest, because they would not walk in His ways (Psalm 95:10-11).  They did not enter into His rest, because they did refused to believe the Father of Truth (Hebrews 3:17-19).

Later, the descendants of Israel in the northern kingdom of Israel were cast out of the Promised land by the Assyrians for the same reasons (2 Kings 17:7-18).  Afterwards, the rest of the descendants of Israel in the southern kingdom of Judah were cast out of the Promised Land by the Babylonians for the same reasons (2 Chronicles 36:14-20).  Finally, the returning descendants of Israel in the later kingdom of Judaea were cast out of the Promised Land by the Romans for the same reasons (Luke 21:12-19).

The descendants of Israel never met these conditions, so they have never obtained the Promised Land as an eternal possession.

Yet, the Father of Truth promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that the descendants of Israel would obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession (Deuteronomy 1:8).  However, He cannot do this until the descendants of Israel meet these conditions (Jeremiah 11:3-5).

He will yet do this, because they will meet these conditions in the future (Ezekiel 37:21-25).  This promise has happened in part up to today, but will happen in full when the Man of Truth returns (Acts 1:6-7).

The descendants of Israel will be able to do meet these conditions, when they return to Him and He circumcises their hearts (Deuteronomy 30:2-8).  They will be able to meet these conditions, because He will replace their stony hearts with hearts of flesh that can obey Him (Ezekiel 11:17-20).  They will be able to meet these conditions, because He will put the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) in them (Ezekiel 36:24-28).  All of the descendants of Israel will be saved, when the Man of Truth drives ungodliness out of them (Romans 11:25-27).

So, the descendants of Israel as a group will obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession, but not every individual born as a descendant of Israel will obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession.

Those born as descendants of Israel, but have refused to walk in the ways of the Father of Truth, have been cut off from being part of the descendants of Israel (Leviticus 18:26-29).  Only a remnant of those born as descendants of Israel will remain a part of the descendants of Israel who obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession (Isaiah 10:20-22).  Not every one who was born as a descendant of Israel remains a descendant of Israel (Romans 9:3-6).

Even when those born as descendants of Israel are gathered by the Man of Truth, only those who will surrender to him as their king will remain part of the descendants of Israel (Ezekiel 20:33-38).  Only those who remain as part of the descendants of Israel will obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession (Ezekiel 20:40-42).

So everyone in the group will obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession.  Being born into the group only makes the individual a candidate to be part of those who obtain the Promised Land as an eternal possession.  Those individuals who do not meet the conditions will be removed from the group.  The group that obtains the Promised Land as an eternal possession is composed only those individuals who are willing to walk in all of His ways for all of their days.

It is exactly the same with the Called Out Ones.

Just as people must be born as a descendant of Israel to part of that group, so must people must be born again as one of the Called Out Ones to be part of this group (John 3:3-5).  The Spirit of Truth is given to everyone in this group as an assurance, that this group will obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Ephesians 1:11-14).  The Man of Truth gave his own blood so it would be possible for this group to obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Hebrews 9:12-15).  This group will not obtain salvation as an eternal possession until the Man of Truth returns (1 Peter 1:3-5).

The Called Out Ones must avoid being deceived into believing, that they can obtain salvation as an eternal possession without obeying the commandments of the Father of Truth (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).  Anyone among the Called Out Ones, who refuses to obey the laws of the Father of Truth, will not obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Galatians 5:19-21).  They must not let anyone deceive them into believing that they can live in disobedience to the Father of Truth, and still obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Ephesians 5:5-6).

It is only those among the Called Out Ones, who obey the Man of Truth that will obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Colossians 3:23-25).  It is only those among the Called Out Ones, who are diligent to carry out the will of the Father of Truth until the end that will obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Hebrews 6:10-12).  It is only those among the Called Out Ones, who overcome disobedience to the Father of Truth that obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Revelation 21:6-8).

The Father of Truth will remove from the Called Out Ones, everyone who will not walk in His ways, like He has done with the descendants of Israel (Romans 11:20-22).  Every individual among the Called Out Ones that turns from following the Man of Truth in obedience, will be removed from the group (Hebrews 12:22-25).

This is why the Man of Truth said, that only those who endure being hated by others until the end, will obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Matthew 10:21-22).  In these days leading up to the Tribulation, it is the only those Called Out Ones, who avoid being deceived by Prophets of Lies, and do not let their love for the Man of Truth grow cold, that will obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Matthew 24:11-14).

It is only those who remain in the House of Truth until the end, that will be part of the group to obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Hebrews 3:5-6).  It is only those who do not depart from the Father of Truth, and remain in the House of Truth until the end, that will be part of the group to obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Hebrews 3:12-14). 

For this reason, the Called Out Ones are warned to fear the Father of Truth, who can cast them into Hell, if they let the fear of people keep them from proclaiming the Good News (Matthew 10:26-28).  They should be afraid to not continue to believe the Word of Truth, because that will cause them to fall short of obtaining salvation as an eternal possession (Hebrews 4:1-3).  They must serve the Father of Truth with reverent fear to remain in the group (Hebrews 12:26-29).

The Called Out Ones are warned to rebuke those who sin among them, so the rest of them will be afraid to sin (1 Timothy 5:20-22).  They are told to work out their salvation through continual obedience with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12)  They must help each other remain afraid of sinning, so that they can all obtain salvation as an eternal possession (Jude 1:21-23).

So everyone in the group will obtain salvation as an eternal possession. Being born again into the group only makes the individual a candidate to be part of those who obtain salvation as an eternal possession.  Those individuals who do not meet the conditions will be removed from the group.  The group that obtains salvation as an eternal possession is composed only those individuals who are willing to walk in all of His ways for all of their days.

So, you must stay in the House of Truth to obtain salvation as an eternal possession.  It is not how you begin, but it is how you end that determines if you obtain salvation as an eternal possession.  It is how you live between when you come into the House of Truth and when you leave this Earth to meet the Man of Truth that determines your permanent job.

You can obtain salvation as an eternal possession!  

You can learn how to be a winner and overcome the power of the dark side.  You do not have to continue plowing a crooked furrow.  You can be free from the monster within.

If you will come into the House of Truth, then the Father of Truth will put the Spirit of Truth in you, so that His commandments are written on your heart to make you able to obey them.

Coming into the House of Truth is a simple one-step program.  You just need to take the deal of total surrender that makes it possible for you to obtain salvation as an eternal possession.

You come into the House of Truth by surrendering control of every aspect of your life to the Man of Truth, because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

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!

A Cut Above The Rest

What is circumcision really about?

People will often say that something is "a cut above the rest" when they mean it is the very best.  This expression come from butcher cuts of beef.  The most expensive and tenderest cuts like rib eye are found high on the beef carcass.  The cheapest cuts like flank are found low on the beef carcass.  So when something is of the next level higher in quality than what it is being compared to then it is said to be a cut above whatever it is being compared to.  For example, short loin is a cut above flank for beef.  When something is the absolute best then it is said to be a cut above the rest.  For example, some people hold that rib eye steak is a cut above all other cuts of beef.

Now when it comes to cutting the flesh of human beings it is similar to beef.  There have been many ways that human beings have cut themselves and each other throughout the ages for various reasons.  Not all of these cuts are of equal value.  The Book of Truth (the Bible) tell us how to rank these cuts.

Some of these cuts have been to save lives in surgery like perhaps an amputation (Matthew 18:8).  Other cuts were made to take lives in war (Luke 21:24).  The cuts to save lives are better than those that end lives (Mark 3:4).   So the work of the surgeon is a cut above the work of a soldier.

Of course, the work of the soldier to end the lives of oppressors is a cut above using the sword to take the lives of the innocent (Isaiah 59:7). A cut of equal value to the work of the soldier to remove external threats to a society is the work of the executioner to end the lives of those who would destroy a society from within (Romans 13:3-4).

Then there is the unkindest cut.  This is the cutting of a man so that he cannot have children (Matthew 19:12).  Still this is not the lowest cut there is.

There are also cuts that people afflict on themselves or others for religious reasons.  The lowest cut of all is the one that is associated with worshiping anything other than the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) like an idol (Leviticus 19:26-28).  This is what those who are opposed to the Father of Truth do (1 Kings 18:26-28).  Those who are under the control of the Spirits of Lies (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods) will cut themselves (Mark 5:2-5).  This kind of religious cutting is a cut beneath the rest because it shows that those who are cut in this manner are in relationship with the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil).

There is a different type of cut made for religious purposes by people.  It shows that those who are cut in this manner are in relationship with the Father of Truth.  This is the highest cut of all.  Among all the cuts of the flesh that people make on themselves or others circumcision is a cut above the rest.

So where did circumcision come from?

The Father of Truth started the practice of circumcision with Abraham (Abram) as a sign of the covenant (Genesis 17:9-11).  Everyone that is part of this covenant had to be circumcised (Genesis 17:12-14).

So circumcision did not come from the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) even though it was continued through the Law of Truth (Leviticus 12:3).  Circumcision is to be even be done on the Sabbath because it was a sign of a covenant that was made with Abraham, Isaac (Yitzakh), and Jacob (Ya'acob aka Israel) more than 200 years before Moses was born (John 7:22-23).

So what was this covenant that is signified by circumcision?

The first covenant that the Father of Truth made with Abraham was that He would give all of the land from the Euphrates River to the Nile River to his descendants (Genesis 15:18).  The second covenant that He made with Abraham was to give him descendants who would worship only Him and they would be the ones to live in the land promised in the first covenant (Genesis 17:4-8).  Circumcision is the sign of a covenant between the Father of Truth and the descendants of Abraham in their flesh because it is a covenant concerning the people according to the flesh that have a right to live in the Promised Land (Genesis 17:9-13).   Those who are not marked by circumcision in the flesh as being part of the people of Abraham according to the flesh have no right to live in the Promised Land (Genesis 17:14).  This covenant was then refined to include only the descendants of Isaac as the people that the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) would come from (Genesis 17:19).  Then the people of the covenant was finally narrowed down to the descendants of Jacob (Genesis 28:13-16).   This covenant of circumcision was given to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac , and Jacob to mark them as those who had a right to live in the Promised Land (Acts 7:4-8).  Since circumcision is a sign in the flesh of the covenant to give the Promised Land to those who are Jews in the flesh then it is a cut above the rest of all cuts in the flesh made by human hands.

It was to fulfill this covenant concerning the Promised Land that the Father of Truth called Moses to deliver the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob from the Egyptians (Exodus 6:3-5).  Since Passover was given to commemorate their deliverance from Egypt so that He could keep His promise to give them the Promised Land then no one is to eat of it that does not have the sign of that covenant in their flesh (Exodus 12:47-49).   The Father of Truth had to deliver them because of the sign of the covenant in their flesh (Acts 7:6-8).  This is another reason that circumcision is a cut above the rest.

Still those born in the wilderness had not been circumcised since their parents would never enter the Promised Land (Joshua 5:4-6).  This is why every single man in Israel had to be circumcised to roll off the approach of Egypt before they could begin to take possession of the Promised Land (Joshua 5:7-9).  Circumcision of the flesh is the ticket to possession of the Promised Land on this Earth so that makes it a cut above the rest.

Circumcision also made it possible for other people who joined themselves to the descendants of Jacob to be counted as among those who have a right to live in the Promised Land.  It is for this reason that Abraham had to circumcise every man in his household - not just himself and Isaac (Genesis 17:11-13).  A mixed multitude of other people left Egypt with the descendants of Jacob (Exodus 12:37-38).  It was circumcision that made all of them into one people by putting all of them under the Law of Truth (Exodus 12:48-49).  This is how many people of diverse backgrounds became Jews at the time of Queen Esther (Esther 8:17).  This is why Paul the Jew (Shaul aka the Jew formerly known as Saul) circumcised Timothy the Jew (Timotheus) so that he would be accepted as a Jew even though he was born of Jewish ancestry (Acts 16:1-3).   So circumcision of the flesh is a sign of being part of the covenant to live in the Promised Land by anyone who joins themselves to the descendants of Jacob.  This makes circumcision a cut above the rest.

This sign in their flesh serves as a reminder that the Father of Truth can never cast away the Jews completely, even when they deserve it, because some of them must survive in order to fulfill the covenant concerning the land promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Leviticus 26:43-45).  He would destroy the universe before He would cast away these people and break this covenant concerning the Promised Land that is marked by circumcision (Jeremiah 33:24-26).  The Father of Truth has not cast away the people that received circumcision as a sign of His covenant with their fathers (Romans 11:1-2).  He has promised that one day all of the descendants that were given circumcision as a sign of the covenant will turn to the Man of Truth and be saved (Romans 11:26-28).  The Father of Truth does not go back on His covenants (Romans 11:29).  So circumcision is a cut above the rest because it also speaks of the promise to preserve the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as a people forever so that they may live in the land promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Circumcision in the flesh guarantees the right to live in the Promised Land to everyone that has joined themselves to the house of Jacob as well as the preservation of some of their descendants.  For these reasons Paul the Jew never taught that the Jewish Children of Truth (those who obey the Father of Truth because they love Him) should stop circumcising the flesh of their children (Acts 21:20-26).  Circumcision is of great value to them provided that they keep the Law of Truth (Romans 2:25).   Circumcision marks them as the people that received the Book of Truth from the Father of Truth (Romans 3:1-2).   Circumcision is still a cut above the rest for those who are Jews according to the flesh.

Circumcision is only about the right to live in the Promised Land. The Promised Land is where the Man of Truth is going to rule all nations from (Deuteronomy 28:1).  He is going to send forth the Law of Truth to establish justice over the entire Earth from Jerusalem in the heart of the Promised Land (Isaiah 2:2-4).  The Man of Truth is going to rule all of the Earth (Revelation 11:15).  This is similar to how all of the massive United States is subject to laws created in the tiny District of Columbia where Washington is located.  People living in the same land as the Man of Truth because they are marked as being part of his people according to the flesh is what makes circumcision a cut above the rest.

The Earth is a lot bigger than just a South Dakota sized slice of the Middle East.  The Man of Truth still needs plenty of Gentile Children of Truth to rule over the Gentile nations on his behalf (2 Timothy 2:12).  That is why Paul the Jew did not compel Titus the Gentile to be circumcised (Galatians 2:1-3).

Everyone that is circumcised in the flesh to be counted as a Jew according to the flesh is obligated to keep all of the Law of Truth (Galatians 5:3).  For this reason, if someone decides to make changes to gain the benefits of The Lessor Matters of The Law then circumcision is the very last thing that they should change.  If the Children of Truth are of Jewish ancestry then they should not seek to remove the sign of circumcision but if they are not of Jewish ancestry then they should not seek to gain the sign of circumcision (1 Corinthians 7:18).

It is worth noting that circumcision must be done for the purpose of identifying with the descendants of Jacob for people to be counted as being among those who have a right to live in the Promised Land and are obligated to keep all of the Law of Truth.  For example, in America baby boys are routinely circumcised shortly after birth for medical reasons.  Yet this does not give them the right to live in the Promised Land nor obligate them to keep all of the Law of Truth because they were not circumcised to be identified with the descendants of Jacob.  Also the descendants of Ishmael circumcise their children when they turn thirteen years of age to identify them with Ishmael instead of Jacob (Genesis 17:24-26).  So they also do not have the right to live in the Promised Land nor are obligated to keep all of the Law of Truth.  So circumcision is not a cut above the rest when it is done for any reason other than to identify with the descendants of Jacob.

Someone may have told you that you need to be circumcised in the flesh to come into the House of Truth (Acts 15:1-5).  The Apostles of Truth taught no such thing (Acts 15:24).  Circumcision in the flesh has nothing to do with coming into the House of Truth (Galatians 5:4-6).  So if you are keeping The Weightier Matters of The Law then circumcision of the flesh does not really matter (1 Corinthians 7:19).

You come into the House of Truth when you surrender control of your life to the Man of Truth because you believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-9).  All who come into the House of Truth do so because of what the Man of Truth has done regardless or whether or not they have been circumcised (Galatians 6:14-16).

Come into the House of Truth.
