Messianic Jews Jesus did not Come to Destroy But Fulfill
Loren Jacobs: The law would not end until all was fulfilled.
Jesus defined that as the prophecies in the Law and prophets "concerning me."
Jesus fulfilled the Law and Prophets where "fulfill" means to bring forth a new nation like delivering from a pregnancy. The Law of Moses was given because of Transgression and had no UNITING or SAVING power.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE JEWS BUT THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS. IT IS ABOUT THE PROPHETS AND APOSTLES AS THE ONLY FOUNDATION UPON WHICH THE CHURCH OF CHIRST IS BUILT (EDUCATED). THAT IS BECAUSE THE SPIRIT OF CHIRST SPOKE ONLY THROUGH THE PROPHETS AND THE PROPHECIES MADE MORE CERTAIN THROUGH JESUS OF NAZARETH.
MESSIANIC JEWS: BIBLE STUDIES TABLE OF CONTENTS
Exodus 32 They Sat Down to Eat and rose up to play: they repudiated The Book of The Covenant of Grace given by Christ to Abraham to ALL NATIONS.
Deuteronomy 32 They Rose Up To Play
1 Corinthians 10 They sat Down to Eat and Rose Up To Play God gave Israel The Book of The Covenant of Grace as that made by Christ to Abraham. The Israelites engaged in musical idolatry of the Egyptian trinity. God gave them The Book of The Law and Moses coultd not atone for them. The Angle (Christ) led them but God said nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
Christ came to give REST to those who were baptized into Christ: [Gal 3]. There can be no racial distinction in the body of Christ who rescued Jews along with the Abrahamic Gens who were not so burdened.Land and Spiritual Covenant deliberately forfeited.
The Book of The Covenant was given to Abraham by God in Christ. The Israelites now religiously Egyptians rejected DISCIPLINE and demanded the "gods" of Egypt which let them "run wild and naked."
The Gospel Promise: I Will Give you rest. Jesus also that the kingdom of God does not come with "ovservation." That word means "Religious Observations." Christ defined the Church of Christ in the Wilderness to give the godly people REST from the normal pagan seventh-day religious efforts to get their god's attention. The command was to READ the Word and Rehearse or discuss the Word as it was delivered to small group elders of 50s etc.
The Levites Almost all Messianic Jewish and Christian "worship" and money is devoted to the belief that God commanded instrumental worship in the sacrificial system. They claim that "Since He has not changed His mind, what Christ ordained as A School of His Word has been turned into "theaters for holy entertainment."
The Kingdom of God does not come with Religious Observations or Services
Don't pay for people to force you to violate that Gospel promise.Joe Shulam: First Century Jewish Identity as a Model Joseph claims that Jesus and the first churches were 100% based on the Torah.
Joseph Shulam: First Century Jewish Identity as a Model Part Two We have added a bit of "Old Testament" which the later Jews seemed to have missed as they came to be the oppressors of the Gentiles with whom Christ made the Abrahamic Covenant which never ceased.
Joe Shulam: The Way of the Lord is not Jewish Genesis 18:19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; THAT the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
Joseph Shulam: was Jesus and the church "Torah" observant and worshipped at the temple.
Messianic and musical christians insist that: Jesus Came Not to Destroy the Law but to Fulfil it. The prophecies are defined by Jesus as "CONCERNING ME." Fulfil is the prophecy that A NEW NATION WOULD BE BORN IN ONE DAY. This purpose would be neither Jewish nor Gentile in a racist sense but that ALL people be one.
Loren Jacobs: What is Messianic Judaism?
Loren Jacobs: What is Messianic Judaism?
Messianic Judaism is a movement of Jewish people who believe that Yeshua (Jesus' original name in Hebrew) is the Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the world. Yeshua is the most Jewish of Jews. Yeshua was a descendant of both Abraham and King David, was raised in a Jewish home and went to synagogue. He perfectly kept the entire Torah (see Galatians 4:4).
Messianic Jews, like Christians, are no longer under the Qahal, Synagogue or Church of Christ in the Wilderness. Instead, Jews are taught "the traditions of the elders" and Christians are taught self-composed "scripture" called sermons and not-Biblical songs. The result of both is pick and choose isolated passages.
Let's take a look at Galatians 4
Gal 4:1 NOW I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child,
differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;Gal 4:2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
Gal 4:3 Even so we, when we were children,
were in bondage under the elements of the world:Gal 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come,
God sent forth his Son, made of a woman,
made under the law,Gal 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law,
that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Heb 5:8 Though he were a Son,The word LOGOS Which defines God sending His WORD means II. possessed of reason, intellectual, Logikos when we speak A. of or for speaking or speech, 2. dialectical, argumentative, sullogismos [syllogisms]
yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
Heb 5:9 And being made perfect,
he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Obey

to hear under (as a subordinate), i.e. to listen attentively;
by impl. to heed or conform to a command or authority: -
hearken, be obedient to, obey.Ac.6:7 And the word of God increased;
and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly;
and a great company of the priests were obedient to THE FAITH
Gal 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit OF his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Gal 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, [Jews]
but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. [A new race]Gal 4:8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God,
ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.Gal 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
Gal 4:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Gal 4:11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
Gal 4:12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.Loren Jacobs: He taught that He came to fulfill, not set aside, the Torah (see Matthew 5:17-19). He was a rabbi who performed unparalleled miracles, bringing great blessing to the nation of Israel.God in Christ made the only spiritual Covenant with Abraham: that was to be aa blessing through teaching of ALL NATIONS. Under the Patriarchs there was no mandatory animal sacrifices and the prophets prove that God never commanded any thing under the "Worship of the starry host" because of the Mount Sinai Event.
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law,
or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Luke 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.Christ spoke through the prophets and Peter said that Jesus made these prophecies more certain: he then gave the Prophets and Apostles as the only building or educating practice of the Church
This includes noting in the Jacob-Cursed Levi tribe and God's abandonment of them to worship the starry host as He was sending them back to Assyria and Babylon.
plēr-oōIn another sense, the Law of Moses as a curse would be in effect for the Jews UNTIL Jesus gave BIRTH to a NEW NATION which cannot have any racial feelings.

Christ promised a NEW COVENANT which would REGENERATE both Jew and Gentil "back to the origin." In the Beginning the covenant made by God in Christ to Abraham was to ALL gens , genti
Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass,
one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Branch: a symbol of kings descended from royal ancestors (Ezek. 17:3, 10; Dan. 11:7); of prosperity (Job 8:16); of the Messiah, a branch out of the root of the stem of Jesse (Isa. 11:1), the “beautiful branch” (4:2), a “righteous branch” (Jer. 23:5), “the Branch” (Zech. 3:8; 6:12).
Christians are not grafted into judaism
Disciples are branches of the true vine (John 15:5, 6). “The branch of the terrible ones” (Isa. 25:5) is rightly translated in the Revised Version “the songterrible ones,” i.e., the song of victory shall be brought low by the destruction of Babylon of the and the return of the Jews from captivity.
Zech 3:8 Hear now, O Joshua [Jesus] the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
Zech 3:9 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

FURTHER NOTES ON ISAIAH 66 BY THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST
Isaiah 66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
Isaiah 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
Isaiah 66:3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol.
Yea, they have chosen their own ways,
and their soul delighteth in their abominations.Isaiah 66:4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
Isaiah 66:5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
Isaiah 66:6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies.
Isaiah 66:7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
Isaiah 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
Isaiah 66.[8] quis audivit umquam tale et quis vidit huic simile numquid parturiet terra in die una aut parietur gens simul quia parturivit et peperit Sion filios suos
gens , gentis, f. root GEN, gigno, that which belongs together by birth or descent, I. a race or clan, embracing several families united together by a common name and by certain religious rites
Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments,THE PROPHECIES WHICH MUST BE FULFILLED OR MADE MORE CERTAIN CONSISTED ONLY OF THOSE PROPHECIES MADE ABOUT JESUS THE CHRIST OF GOD.
and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven:
but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same
shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness
shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees,
ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Luke 22:37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me,THERE WAS NO REMISSION OF SINS IN THE CONSCIENCE OR SPIRIT BY OBEYING LAWS.
And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
Luke 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
Luke 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins
should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Luke 24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
Luke 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you:
but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
Loren Jacobs All His early disciples also lived very Jewish lives. The Messianic movement was entirely Jewish at its inception, and continued to exist as an authentic Jewish movement for 700 years after Yeshua’s death and resurrection.
The Qahal, synagogue or Church of Christ in the Wilderness was not Jewish. After Israel's rejection of The Book of The Covenant of Grace at Mount Sinai, God turned the national system over to worship the starry host. Jacob had warned everyone NOT to attend the assemblies of Levi or enter into their covenant. Christ the Rock ordained the synagogue which was to REST (not worship) and be quarantined from the Jewish and other Sabazianism which "did hard bondage" on the REST Day. The synagogue was to READ and REHEARSE the Word of God.
There is no record of the common laborers attending the Sabbath sacrifices which profaned the REST. Since they were unlearned men that means that they were not attached to the Synagogue as The School of the Word.
John 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early,The first assembly or synagoguing of Jesus and His disciples was on the First Day of the Week: it would not be possible to carry out the mission of going into all the world to preach the gospels if they upset people by doing work on the seventh day. Furthermore, the sabbath was not based on the calendar but as part of sabazianism was based on the Sun and Moon.
when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre,
and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
THE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST AS CONVERTED JEWS DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO APPEASE THE JEWS.
John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week,Paul denied that the Christians had anything to do with The Law of Moses given because of transgression and which had value ONLY to the physical well-being of people to keep them from harm
when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews,
came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Jesus knew that the Church of Christ would be in assembly or synagogue on the NEXT first day of the week. The synagogue was for TEACHING the Word only. After Christ GAVE BIRTH to one NEW NATION the only thing that was taught was that of the Apostles who had been instructed by Jesus and not by Moses except what not to do to besafe.
John 20:26 And after eight days again his disciples were within,
and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut,
and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
Jesus in fact warned against calling yourself Jews:
John 20:30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples,
which are not written in this book:
John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God;
and that believing ye might have life through his name
Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed,
do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
1Peter 4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye;
for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you:
on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
2Thessalonians 1:12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you,
and ye in him, according
to the grace of our God
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Phil 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.Loren Jacobs Messianic Jews have not stopped being Jewish. On the contrary, we remain strongly Jewish in our identity and lifestyle!
Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision,
which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus,
and have no confidence in the flesh.
Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week,
when the disciples came together to break bread,
Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow;
and continued his speech until midnight.
1Corinthians 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store,
as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
The Tenach (the Old Testament Scriptures) provides the foundation of our Jewish faith,In fact, the Hebrew Scriptures themselves affirm that they are not complete, but that God was going to make a New Covenant with the Jewish people (Jeremiah 31:31-34).
and the New Covenant Scriptures (which were also written by Jews) the completion of our Jewish faith.
A NEW COVENANT DOES NOT MEAN AN ADDITION TO THE LAW OF MOSES GIVEN BECAUSE OF TRANSGRESSION.
THE SPIRITUAL COVENANT WAS MADE BY GOD IN CHRIST TO ABRAHAM AND ALL NATIONS (GENTILES0
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Jer. 31:31
Hebrews 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Hebrews 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old.
Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Hebrews 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
But we do not trust through Moses or through the law; for then we would do the same as yourselves. But now -(for I have read
that there shall be a final law, and a covenant, the chiefest of all,
which it is now incumbent on all men to observe,
as many as are seeking after the inheritance of God.
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him:
for he that cometh to God must believe that he is,
and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.For the law promulgated on Horeb is now old, and belongs to yourselves alone;
but this is for all universally.
Now, law placed against law has abrogated that which is before it,
and a covenant which comes after in like manner has put an end to the previous one.
and an eternal and final law-namely, Christ-has been given to us,
and the covenant is trustworthy,
after which there shall be no law, no commandment, no ordinance.
[of the Old Testament]
Contrary to the Law at Mount Sinai which speaks of Hagar, Bondage, Earthly Jerusalem called Sodom, the Law of Christ went forth from Zion and not Mt. Moriah.
Have you not read this which Isaiah says: "Hearken unto Me, hearken unto Me, my people; and, ye kings, give ear unto Me:
And by Jeremiah, concerning this same new covenant, He thus speaks: "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt'
for a law shall go forth from Me, and
My judgment shall be for a light to the nations.
My righteousness approaches swiftly, and
My salvation shall go forth, and
nations shall trust in Mine arm? ' LXX, Isa. li. 4, 5.
Isa 51:4 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me,
O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me,
and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.Isa 51:5 My righteousness is near;
H3468 yesha yêsha‛ yeh'-shah, yay'-shah From H3467 [yâsha] ; liberty, deliverance, prosperity:--safety, salvation, saving.
my salvation is gone forth, and
mine arms shall judge the people;
the isles shall wait upon me,
and on mine arm shall they trust.
Jesus the CHRIST OF GOD is God's Word, Righteousness and salvation IN PERSON. He is GOD'S ARM or RIGHT HAND.Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Jehowshuwa (h3091) yeh-ho-shoo'-ah;from 3068 and 3467; Jehovah-saved; Jehoshua (i. e. Joshua), the Jewish leader: - Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua. Comp. 1954, 3442
H2220 zerôa‛ zerôa‛ zerô‛âh zerô‛âh zer-o'-ah (1,2), zer-o-aw' (3,4) From H2232 ;
the arm (as stretched out), or (of animals) the foreleg; figuratively force:—arm, + help, mighty, power, shoulder, strength.
Isa 59:15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey.
And the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.Isa 59:16 And he saw that there was no man,
..........and wondered that there was no intercessor:
..........therefore his arm brought salvation unto him;
..........and his righteousness, it sustained him.Isa 59:17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate,
Isa 59:18 According to their deeds,
and a helmet of salvation upon his head;
and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing,
and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries,
.recompense to his enemies;
to the islands he will repay recompense.
God through Christ gave the only spiritual Covenant to be a blessing (teaching) of all nations that which God had delivered through Abraham.
This was a covenant to ALL NATIONS meaning Gentiles since there were no Jews for several hundred years.
- After rescuing Israel from bondage in Egypt God restated The Book of The Covenant of Grace.
- The people rose up in musical idolatry because they refused to listen to the grace of God's voice.
- God removed The Covenant and gave them The Book of The Law and sentenced them to slavery and death back in Assyria and Babylon.
- The Jews saw the Law as punishment as a sign of racial superiority and slaughtered all of the "nations"" they were supposed to bless.
- Jesus came to give BIRTH to that Abrahamic Nation as the fulfilment of the Law like the "coming to term of a pregnancy."
- Modern Jews make the same racial and divisive fall from grace when they remove CHRIST from their public confession.
