inherently ties Jesus' good news about the kingdom to the promised
hope of the Old Testament.

By Erik Jones

The myriad of churches that make up Christianity profess that their religion is based on Jesus
Christ. Nearly all claim Him as their founder and say that their teachings are based on what He
said and did 2,000 years ago. But, sadly, there are many doctrines where mainstream
Christianity ignores or actually rejects the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Gen 2:8 Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden,
and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Gen 2:9 Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to
grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. This
included the tree of life that was in the midst of the
garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Gen 2:15 Yahweh God took the man and put him into the
garden of Eden to work it and to maintain it.
Gen 2:16 Yahweh God commanded the man, saying,
“From every tree in the garden you may freely eat.
Gen 2:17 But from the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil you may
not eat, for on the day that you eat
from it, you will surely die.”
Gen 2:8 Naglagay ang PANGINOONG Diyos ng isang halamanan sa
silangan ng Eden, at inilagay niya roon ang taong kanyang nilalang.
Gen 2:9 At pinatubo ng PANGINOONG Diyos sa lupa ang lahat ng
punungkahoy na nakakalugod sa paningin, at mabuting kainin;
gayundin ang punungkahoy ng buhay sa gitna ng halamanan, at ang
punungkahoy ng pagkaalam ng mabuti at masama.
Gen 2:15 Kinuha ng PANGINOONG Diyos ang lalaki at inilagay sa
halamanan ng Eden upang ito ay kanyang bungkalin at ingatan.
Gen 2:16 At iniutos ng PANGINOONG Diyos sa lalaki, na sinabi,
"Malaya kang makakakain mula sa lahat ng punungkahoy sa
halamanan,
Gen 2:17 subalit mula sa punungkahoy ng
pagkakilala ng mabuti at masama ay
huwag kang kakain; sapagkat sa araw na
ikaw ay kumain niyon ay tiyak na
mamamatay ka."

1Co 15:21-28(21) For since death came by a man, by a man also
came the resurrection of the dead.(22) For as in Adam all die, so also
in Christ will all be made alive.(23) But each in his own order: Christ,
the firstfruits, and then those who belong to Christ will be made
alive at his coming.(24) Then will be the end, when Christ will hand
over the kingdom to God the Father. This is when he will abolish all
rule and all authority and power.(25) For he must reign until he has
put all his enemies under his feet.(26) The last enemy to be
destroyed is death.(27) For “he has put everything under his feet.”
But when it says “he has put everything,” it is clear that this does
not include the one who put everything in subjection to
himself.(28) When all things are subjected to him, then the Son
himself will be subjected to the one who subjected everything to
him. This will happen so that God the Father may be all in all.

his second son was Abijah. They were judges in Beersheba.(3) His
sons did not walk in his ways, but chased after dishonest gain. They
took bribes and perverted justice.(4) Then all the elders of Israel
gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah.(5) They said to
him, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your
ways. Appoint for us a king to judge us like all the
nations.”(6) But it displeased Samuel when they said,
“Give us a king to judge us.” So Samuel prayed to
Yahweh.(7) Yahweh said to Samuel, “Obey the voice of
the people in everything they say to you; for they have not
rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king

 While Israel had many kings, they were not the ultimate
authority in Israel. Rather, God’s covenant word was the real
authority. ( TORAH IS THE CONSTITUTION of KINGDOM)
 This is why God raised up the prophetic office to counterbalance
the office of kingship.
 For every king, there was an opposing prophet or group
of prophets ready to stick the covenant back in the
king’s face and call him to accountability to God’s word.
 Thus, 1 and 2 Kings might more accurately be called “1 and 2
Kings vs. Prophets.”
 The author pits each new king against a prophet(s) to help you
see that God’s prophetic word ultimately determines Israel’s
history. It’s actually the prophets and the word spoken through
them that drives the books.

What DO the Scriptures say about Jews and Gentiles at the end of
the age? Is there a precedent for the Lord using us in partnership to
bring revival to the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?
In the Bible I read that “In your (Abraham’s) seed, all the
families of the earth will blessed” (Genesis 22:18) and
“Unto us a son is given and the (world’s) government will be
upon His shoulder” (Isaiah 9:6).  Here was God’s plan for
a truly blessed world united under one government.
If Israel is Chosen, What About the Gentiles?
It is God’s prerogative to choose one nation through which to bring
redemption to the world. This is just what He did. Jesus, a
descendant of Abraham, said “salvation is of the Jews.” However,
this “chosen” status can create misunderstanding and even
resentment. On the one hand, deadly anti-Semitism arises from the
Enemy’s hatred of what God loves

SALVATION: Joseph and Pharaoh
This is not a unique partnership in Scripture. Take Joseph and Pharaoh. God
appointed Joseph to save his family, the sons of Jacob. To do so, he placed Joseph
in strategic relationship with Pharaoh. Pharaoh recognized Joseph’s gifts and
calling, appointing him to utilize the full resources of Egypt. The result? Egypt
was blessed with “salvation” from the famine and Joseph’s family, Jacob & Sons,
was saved in the recognition of their “dead” brother.
After many years, not realizing that he was still alive, they
encountered him in an unexpected place — Egypt. This parallels
Yeshua’s “disappearance” for 19 centuries in the Church. The
salvation of Jacob (Israel) is again dependent on seeing Joseph
(Jesus) for who he is … the expelled son.
Only with the equipping of Pharaoh could Joseph have pulled this
off. The fulfillment of his destiny depended upon partnership with
the Gentile king. Their relationship brought salvation to Egypt and
Israel, the Gentiles and the Jews.

RESTORATION: Nehemiah and Artaxerxes
The gates of Jerusalem were torn down and burnt. Seeing this, Nehemiah wept.
He prayed, and then went to the Persian king, Artaxerxes, who agreed to finance
a trip to Israel for Nehemiah to rebuild the city. The king authorized safe passage
through foreign territory, timber for the project, army personnel to protect
Nehemiah and provisions for the journey.
The hand of God was upon Nehemiah. Audaciously, he rebuilt the wall around the
city, unifying the Jews who were there. In fifty-two days, without a single gasoline
engine or hint of electricity, they completed the wall, while being vilely opposed
by resentful “neighbors.” Sound familiar? What launched Nehemiah in this bold
and historic restoration? His position of trust and favor with Artaxerxes, the
Gentile king.
What do these “Gentile kings and Jewish prophets” have to do with
us today? Just this: history is repeating itself.

Risking death, the Jewish queen dared appear uninvited
before her husband, Ahasuerus. She interceded for her
people, bringing rescue, honor and strength to the Jews in
spite of vicious persecution and intended destruction.
While the king was not at first a willing or cognizant partner,
he was nonetheless a key to Esther’s historic victory.
With prophetic courage the Jewish queen “teamed up” with
the authority and resources of the Gentile king to cause a
vital link in in the unfolding chain of world redemption.

Where are we finding the massive intercessory support so
vital to breaking through almost 20 centuries of resistance
to Yeshua’s Messiahship? We find it primarily among the
fiery Gentile prayer warriors who are standing with Israel’s
Messianic Jews, to gain Israel’s salvation.

I am convinced that this partnership is an essential facet


of God’s blueprint for world redemption. We are walking it
out by divine design, causing divine delight. If the Gentile
kings and Jewish prophets of old, joined hearts and
callings to bring the glory of God and the salvation of
Israel, how much more will we see His glory and salvation
in the days leading up to Messiah’s awesome return.

YESHUA JESUS’ UPSIDE DOWN KINGDOM
The Kingdom of God is Upside Down
In many ways the kingdom of God
is completely turned around from
what we would expect it should
be.
That’s why Jesus had to use so
many different parables to help us
get our minds around how things
really work in God’s kingdom.
Let’s look at some principles of the
Kingdom of God that seem
completely upside down from
what we normally see in the world
around us.
YESHUA JESUS’ UPSIDE DOWN KINGDOM

My kingdom is not of this


world. If my kingdom were of
this world, my servants would
have been fighting, that I
might not be delivered over to
the Jews. But my kingdom is
not from the world. John
18:36 ESV
YESHUA JESUS’ UPSIDE DOWN KINGDOM
The Prince of Peace was born into a world drowning in violence.
The years between the Old and New Testaments were anything but
silent, as kingdom rose up against kingdom, nation warred against
nation, and the Jewish people hacked their way to freedom with
swords baptized in blood.
About two hundred years before Christ, the Greeks who ruled over
Israel banned the practice of Judaism and slaughtered those who
resisted. But the Jews wouldn’t give in so easily. Led by Judas “the
Maccabee” (literally, “the hammer”), zealous Jews donned the
sword and threw off the yoke of their Gentile overlords, massacring
thousands in their wake. A few decades later, the Maccabees
reclaimed their religious and political freedom and set up a quasi-
messianic kingdom through violent force.
 The success of Maccabean swords would shape the way Jewish
people in Jesus’s day would understand—and inaugurate—the
kingdom of God
YESHUA JESUS’ UPSIDE DOWN KINGDOM
Enter Jesus. The Prince of Peace
talked often about establishing
God’s kingdom. He also talked
about loving your enemies, doing
good to those who hate you, and
giving your left cheek to the one
who hits you on the right.
Even Pilate was confused when the Jews accused Jesus of being a
nuisance to Rome. The Roman governor must have laughed to himself
when Jesus talked about setting up a kingdom without fighting. Every
kingdom ever established has always been set up by fighting—and, of
course, winning the fight. This foolish Jew is out of his mind, Pilate must
have thought. “I find no guilt in him,” he declared (John 18:38). But as it
turns out, the Jews turned his hand and got their wish. Jesus received
the death penalty for treason.
YESHUA JESUS’ UPSIDE DOWN KINGDOM
5 Differences Between The Kingdom of God and the
Kingdom of the World
It consists of people imitating the Savior who died for them and for
all people. It consists of people submitting to God’s rule and doing
his will. By definition, this is the domain in which is God is king.
 Jesus’ kingdom is “not of this world,” for it contrasts with the
kingdom of the world in every possible way. This is not a simple
contrast between good and evil.
 The contrast is rather between two fundamentally different ways
of doing life, two fundamentally different mindsets and belief
systems, two fundamentally different loyalties.
Here are five ways that it is different:
1. A contrast of trusts: The kingdom of the world trusts the
power of the sword, while the kingdom of God trusts the power of
the cross. The kingdom of the world advances by exercising “power
over,” while the kingdom of God advances by exercising “power
under.”
YESHUA JESUS’ UPSIDE DOWN KINGDOM
To Become a Leader, Be a Servant
And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the
two brothers. But Jesus called them to Himself and said,
“You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them,
and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet
it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to
become great among you, let him be your servant. And
whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your
slave — just as the Son of Man did not come to be served,
but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Matt.20:24-28
Normally we look at great men and women as those who have authority, money and
power. But Jesus said in the kingdom of God the truly great people are those who serve
others.
When we truly have a servant’s heart then God can promote us because he knows
we will be faithful to do the assignments put in front of us with humility and
compassion for those we serve.
The last shall be first and the first shall
be last:
Matt 19:27-30
Then Peter said in reply, See, we have left everything and
followed you. What then will we have?
Jesus said to them, Truly, I say to you, in the new world,
when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who
have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the
twelve tribes of Israel.
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or
father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake,
will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.
But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
If you lift yourself up you will be lowered but if
you lower yourself you will be lifted up!
 Luke 14:11
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and
he who humbles himself will be exalted.
YESHUA JESUS’ UPSIDE DOWN KINGDOM
Here are five ways that it is different:
2. A contrast of aims: The kingdom of the world seeks to
control behavior, while the kingdom of God seeks to
transform lives from the inside out. Also,
 the kingdom of the world is rooted in preserving, if
not advancing, one’s self-interests and one’s own will,
while
 the kingdom of God is centered exclusively on carrying
out God’s will, even if this requires sacrificing one’s own
interests.
YESHUA JESUS’ UPSIDE DOWN KINGDOM
To truly find life, die to self
There are a great many philosophies in the world that say we should
look inward to find our true identity and answers to our life’s
problems.  Jesus said that doesn’t work.
 In fact Jesus goes beyond that and says we have to die
to ourselves to truly find life.
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after
Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow
Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but
whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.”— Matt 16:24-25
Then just to be sure there is no misunderstanding he talks about the
futility of gaining the whole world yet losing your soul.
*** Our natural world is all about instant gratification. Do what
makes you feel good right now! Get all you can! You deserve it!
Everyone’s a winner!
YESHUA JESUS’ UPSIDE DOWN KINGDOM
Priorities of the Kingdom
He explained that God knows we need stuff. But the right
way to prioritize things is to first seek the kingdom of
God. Then God would add all the stuff we needed without
us striving or stressing about it.
Mat 6:31-34(31) Therefore, do not be anxious and say, ‘What will we
eat?’ or, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘What clothes will we
wear?’(32) For the Gentiles search for these things, and your
heavenly Father knows that you need them.(33) But seek first his
kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be
given to you.
Pro 14:23 With all hard work comes a profit, but when there is only
talk, it leads to poverty.
Pro 14:23 Sa lahat ng pagsisikap ay may pakinabang, ngunit ang
pagsasalita lamang ay naghahatid sa kahirapan.
YESHUA JESUS’ UPSIDE DOWN KINGDOM
Prov. 28:19 The one who works his land will have plenty
of food, but whoever follows worthless pursuits will have
plenty of poverty.

everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the
Father through him.
2. Colossians 3:23-24 Work willingly at whatever you do, as though
you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember
that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that
the Master you are serving is Christ.
Col 3:23 Anuman ang inyong ginagawa, gawin ninyo nang magaan
sa kalooban na waring hindi sa tao kayo naglilingkod kundi sa
Panginoon.
Col 3:24 Alam naman ninyong gagantimpalaan kayo ng Panginoon;
tatanggapin ninyo ang inilaan niya sa kanyang mga anak. Sapagkat
si Cristo ang Panginoong pinaglilingkuran ninyo.
3. 1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye
do, do all to the glory of God.
4. Romans 12:11-12 Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord
enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and
keep on praying.
YESHUA JESUS’ UPSIDE DOWN KINGDOM
It is through being defeated by earthly powers that Jesus
conquered the spiritual forces of evil and set up his
kingdom.
It’s an upside-down kingdom where leaders are servants,
neighbors and enemies are loved,
 and poor widows give away half their money.
 Under the Lordship of King Jesus, humility is exalted,
 the first shall be last,
 offenders are forgiven 70 times 7, and
 ethnic outsiders kneel down to help ½ dead strangers
lying in a ditch.
The way of Jesus is countercultural. It is
upside-down and inside-out—a kingdom,
where weakness is power, power is
weakness, and suffering leads to glory.
YESHUA JESUS’ UPSIDE DOWN KINGDOM
"Upside-Down Kingdom"? That’s how people sometimes talk about
following Jesus. They say that when you follow him, ordinary life is
turned upside-down. And if you read through the Bible for a bit, that
sounds right. Over and over we see things getting turned around,
turned backwards, turned upside-down. Jesus said that in his
kingdom the first will be last and the last will be first (Matt. 20:16).
He said that whoever wanted to be great would have to be a servant
(Matt. 20: 26).
The apostle Paul said that God chose the foolish things of the world
to shame the wise, that he chose the weak things of the world to
shame the strong (1 Cor. 1:27).
According to Paul, Jesus was equal to God, and then he emptied
himself and made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a
servant (Phil. 2:6-11).
Jesus was rich, yet for our sake he became poor, so that through his
poverty we would become rich (2 Cor. 8:9).
YESHUA JESUS’ UPSIDE DOWN KINGDOM
To Become Rich, Give Money Away
This one is a total mind bender. The natural way to get more money
is to save and hoard what we have.
When we don’t have enough money to pay our bills, common sense
would say that giving some of what little we have away would be
stupid. But here is what Jesus says:
“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed
down, shaken together, and running over will be put into
your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will
be measured back to you.”— Luke 6:38
*** Jesus said that giving triggers something in the
kingdom which causes the same things we gave away to
come back to us.
Luke 6:38(38) Magbigay kayo, at bibigyan kayo ng Diyos: hustong
takal, siksik, liglig, at umaapaw pa ang ibibigay sa inyo. Sapagkat
ang takalang ginagamit ninyo sa iba ay siya ring gagamitin ng Diyos
sa inyo.”

Luk 16:10 He who is faithful in very little is also faithful in much,
and he who is unrighteous in very little is also unrighteous in much.
Luk 16:13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate
the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and
despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”

the pattern. Things that make a person important in our world become
unimportant in the Upside-Down Kingdom. And the things that seem weak and
humble and poor — they make us better people and take us closer to the heart of
God.
And yet this Upside-Down Kingdom has surprises. We would think that giving
would be more important than receiving. That’s the slogan we hear over and over
— "It is better to give than to receive." We would assume that selfish people have a
bad time in the Upside-Down Kingdom. They’re full of need and desire, and it eats
them up all the time. They’re jealous every time a friend has a new car or a new
house. They buy a rack of new clothes and charge it on their cards and before
they’ve paid down their debts — at those wicked interest rates — they’re already
thinking about the next big buy. Giving? They don’t know what it means.
Receiving? They can’t do enough of that. They have a hunger for more, and it’s the
kind of hunger that grows with the feeding — the more you get the more you
want.
We would assume that givers are the lords and ladies of the Upside-Down
Kingdom. They’re unselfish. They sacrifice. They give money and time and talent
to make the lives of other people better. They have to be the greatest of the
followers of Jesus, right?

You Must Choose God’s System
“Be not conformed to this world.” –Romans 12:2 (KJV)
There are two choices before you—the world’s system or God’s system. This is true if you want
to enjoy prosperity in your health, finances, mind, relationships, peace, joy or any other area of
life. The world tells you to go deeper and deeper in debt, expect to get sick or diseased, get
divorced if you don’t like your spouse, and do whatever makes you feel good in the moment.
But those aren’t God’s ways. The Bible says the things of God are foolishness to the world (1
Corinthians 2:14).

The world will always give you the option of choosing its system, but God’s way is always the
better way. When you come to a crossroad, you’ll see the world calling you to believe in
pharmaceuticals, information on the internet, or the latest research. “This is the answer!”
they’ll shout. Don’t expect God’s best to come from the world’s system. He will work around
and through it in order to reach you, but it is always far below His best.

Don’t be conformed to this world. Choose God’s way—it always leads to prosperity.
KINDS OF DISCIPLES OF THE KINGDOM The Synagogue the Centurion Built
To make the case clearly now:

1. The Mosaic Law is the perfect written reflection of the character of God.
2. The Messiah is the perfect incarnate reflection of the character of God.
3. Love is putting the Mosaic Law into force as the Messiah did.
God revealed his character in the written Mosaic Law in all its details and
specific requirements. He defined love as putting that Law into action. He put
the Law into living form in Christ Who was therefore the incarnation of the
Law and therefore became love. We are also to incarnate that Law, putting it
into action and thus demonstrating love to our neighbor and thus reflecting
God’s character in our relationship with others.

…arises from the difference between

 The Hebrew is concerned with

 Right conduct is the ultimate

Experience Truth
 Jesus/Yeshua was no theologian in the Western sense.
 The Hebrew prophets and their followers did not
simply think truth they experiencedtruth.
Everything is theological!
 “It is forbidden to a man to enjoy anything of this
world without a benediction, and if anyone enjoys
anything of this world without a benediction, he
commits sacrilege”
 Babylonian Talmud, Berakhot 35a

 The Rabbi’s consider that to not enjoy every legitimate


pleasure is in essence to be an ingrate before the
Master of the Universe! (compare with 1 Cor 10:31)
A Contradiction?
 Ceremonialism and ritualism alone do not meet God’s
requirement for a goodlife.

Amos 5:
21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your
solemn assemblies.
22Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain
offerings, I will not accept them; and the peace offerings of
your fattened animals,
I will not look upon them.
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody
of your harps I will not listen.
Psalm 51
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from
me.
12Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to
You.
14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, And my
tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
16For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt
offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise.
18 Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem.
19Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, With
burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then they shall offer bulls on
Your altar
Truth is to be experienced, deed
matters more than creed.

the human perspective on truth and the other

The last shall be first and the first shall
be last:
Matt 19:27-30
Then Peter said in reply, See, we have left everything and
followed you. What then will we have?
Jesus said to them, Truly, I say to you, in the new world,
when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who
have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the
twelve tribes of Israel.
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or
father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake,
will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.
But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
God makes us act and yet we
choose our actions:
 Ex 8:15
But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he
hardened his heart and would not listen to them, as the
LORD had said.

vs Ex 7:3
But I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and though I
multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
God is the maker of evil; He is wrathful and yet
He is the maker of good; He is merciful:
Isaiah 45.7
I form light and create darkness,
I make well-being and create calamity,
I am the LORD, who does all these things.

vsHabakuk 3:2
O LORD, I have heard the report of you,
and your work, O LORD, do I fear.
In the midst of the years revive it;
in the midst of the years make it known;
in wrath remember mercy.
Yeshua is the Lamb of God and
also the Lion of Judah:
John 1:29
29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and
said, Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin
of the world!

vs Rev 5:5
And one of the elders said to me, Weep no more; behold,
the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has
conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven
seals.
The end of unbelievers (Hell) is described
as ‘utter darkness’ and a ‘lake of fire’.
Jude 11-13
Woe to them! For they walked in the way of Cain and abandoned
themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam's error and perished in
Korah's rebellion.These are blemishes on your love feasts, as they feast
with you without fear, looking after themselves; waterless clouds, swept
along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted;wild
waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering
stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.
Rev 19:20
And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its
presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had
received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image.
These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with
sulfur.
God determines who is ‘saved’ and who
isn’t and yet we can choose him
John 6:37
All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever
comes to me I will never cast out.
Deut 30:19-20
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have
set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore
choose life, that you and your offspring may live, loving the
LORD your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he
is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that
the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to
Jacob, to give them.
Jn 6:44
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me
draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
You can find your life but in doing so you
will lose it!
 Mat 10:39
Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his
life for my sake will find it.
And in that time there will be neither hunger nor war,
neither jealousy nor competition, but goodness will
spread over everything. And all the delights will be as
common as dust. And the whole world will have no other
occupation but only to know the Lord. And therefore
Israel will be great sages, and knowers of secret things,
and they will attain a knowledge of their Creator as far as
the power of man allows, as it is written, For the earth
shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters
covers the sea (Isa. 11:9)

(Maimonides, YadhaHazaqa, Shoftim, HilkhotM’lakhim 11-12)


When you are weak you are
strong!
 2 Cor 12:10
For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with
weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and
calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
If you lift yourself up you will be lowered but if
you lower yourself you will be lifted up!
 Luke 14:11
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and
he who humbles himself will be exalted.
The Messiah is the Prince of Peace
and yet he comes with a sword.
Matt 5:9:
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

Isaiah 9:6-7
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government
shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called …. Prince
of Peace.

Matt 10:34 - 36
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have
not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a
man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a
daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's
enemies will be those of his own household.
Preaching of cross is foolishness …
1 Cor 1:18-19, 26-29
For the word of the cross is folly to those who are
perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of
God.
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the
discernment of the discerning I will thwart. For the foolishness of
God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than
men.

26For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise
according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not
many were of noble birth.
27But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise;
God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong;
28God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that
are not, to bring to nothing things that are,
29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
Dealing with fools?
 Prov. 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest
you be like him yourself.
 Prov. 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be
wise in his own eyes.
Not always easy:
 Rom 14:22 …
Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on
himself for what heapproves.
 (see CEB Cranfield ‘Romans’ p352)
Conclusion:
 Hellenism/Greek mindset
 ‘Know yourself’ rather than ‘know God’
 In contrast to the Greek view that the highest
human experience was knowledge, to a Hebrew
scholar like the Apostle Paul, moral beauty and
righteousnesswas the highest human experience.
 In today's common view influenced by Greek
dualism, faith is a mystical, non-rationalthing,
not related toreason.
Faith is a posture of the heart
toward God.
 The heart of the believer will seek knowledge of God at
some level. Knowledge is notirrelevant.
 But it will be an outworking of the heart of faith
rather than a prerequisite for it.
Dualism
 Greek dualism has also led to the loss of community, to
the exaltation of the individual.
 Human beings were created to be social.
 Our true and most complete meaning is derived from
and experienced through our relationships with God
and with other human beings (Mark12:28-34).
Mishnah saying:
“He who destroys a single life is considered as if he has
destroyed the whole world, and he who saves a single
life is considered as having saved the whole world”
(Sanhredrin 4:5).
The Body of Messiah
We see Paul calling us to the Jewish sense of corporate identity in his
famous ‘Body of Messiah’ dissertation (1 Cor12).

Our challenge is to recognize the great error of church history in


disconnecting from its Jewish foundations. The times we live in now
involve much uncertainty, pessimism, rootlessness, dishonestyand great
change.

We need not be rootless – As Paul tells us in Romans 9-11, the ‘root that
supports us’ is the godly living faith of Israel.

This is our foundation, it is to know the God of history, Israel’s history.


Hebrews 11 tells us a beautiful summary of the people of Israel and their
trust in God.
Our challenge …
 True faith is faith inaction,
 Faith that is evidenced by obedienceto
God.
 Fulfilling the twogreatest
commandments
 Fulfilling the Ten Commandments
 May you all embrace life, enjoy the blessings that the
Almighty has bestowed upon you and constantly thank
Him for all that comes your way because regardless of
your comprehension of it, God can and will use it all
for your benefitif you love Him.
 Use the talents that He has given you to glorify and
honour Him and so draw others to Him as they see joy
in your life in good times and bad.

Thank you. Shalom!
