OF THE JEWS SYNAGOGUE.
Acts 13:15 And after the reading of the LAW and the PROPHETS
the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying,
Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of EXHORTATION for the people, say on.
Acts 13:26 Men and brethren,
children of the stock of Abraham,
and whosoever among you feareth God,
to you is the word of this salvation sent.
However, the Jews and pseudo scholars are destructive because.
Acts 13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem,
and their rulers,
because they knew him not,
nor yet the voices of the prophets
which are READ every sabbath day,
they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
Neither Jews nor Gentiles grasp that the REST promised by Jesus is built upon or educated by the Prophets and Apostles. Jews would understand that the SABBATH meant rest and not a day of worship. The patterrn was REST which included SCHOOL for education in whatever they needed to know.
Acts 13:28 And though they found no cause of death in him,
yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
Acts 13:29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him,
they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre
The Laws of the Monarchy were imposed because of musical idolatry at Mounnt Sinai: Godly Jews attended synagogue or a WORD OF GOD assembly.
Heb. 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:
Heb. 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers
in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt;
because they continued not in my covenant,
and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
Jacob cursed Levi and commanded that people not attend their "synagogues" not enter into covenant with them. God abandoned the nation to "worship the starry host" readily confessed by the Jewish Encyclopedia. Godly Israelites attended "synagogue" which was the Church of Christ (The Rock) in the wilderness. This is defined as a School of the Word of God only.
Heb. 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,
saith the Lord; I will MY LAWS into their mind,
and write them in their hearts:
and I will be to them a God,
and they shall be to me a people:
The New Covenant was made with the "houses" of Israel exclusive of Priests or Levites.
Heb. 8:11 And they shall NOT teach every man his neighbour,
and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord:
for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
Heb. 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness,
and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
The Israelite people did NOT keep the Law and lost the promises of REST.
Heb. 2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed
to the things which we have heard,
lest at any time we should let them slip.
Heb. 2:2 For if the WORD spoken by angels was stedfast,
and EVERY transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
Salvation often means SAFE: disciples of Christ are SAFE from the laded burdens and burden laders. That would not be possible of the "new law" was just the "old law" to the Jews?
Heb. 2:3 How shall we escape,
if we neglect so great salvation;
which at the FIRST BEGAN to be spoken by the Lord,
and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Heb. 2:4 God also bearing them witness,
both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles,
and GIFTS of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
Heb. 2:5 For unto the angels hath he NOT put in subjection
the world to come, whereof we speak.
Heb. 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying,
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
or the SON OF MAN, that thou visitest him?
Heb. 2:7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels;
hou crownedst him with glory and honour,
and didst SET HIM OVER the works of THY hands:
Heb. 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet.
For in that he put all in subjection under him,
he left nothing that is not put under him.
But now we see not yet all things put under him.
Heb. 2:9 But we see Jesus,
who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death,
crowned with glory and honour;
that HE by the grace of GOD should taste death for every man.
THE PHYSICAL TABERNACLE WAS A TYPE OF THE TRUE.
After the fall into musical-trinitarian worship at Mount Sinai, God gave them The Law of Moses to govern them (only) until He carried out the captivity and death sentence. The role of the Tabernacle was at one place to be a WITNESS and to guard against rebellion. Moses told the people that another prophet like him would come and HE should be listened to.
Heb. 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum:
We have such an HIGH PRIEST,
who is set on THE RIGHT HAND of the throne
of the Majesty in the heavens;
Heb. 8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the TRUE tabernacle,
which the Lord pitched, and not man
God in Christ made the only Spiritual Covenant with Abrahm: Abraham was a Gentile and his mission was to ALL nations.

Ellen Kavanaugh Light of Mashiach New Covenant
The Jews at the First advent when the New Covenant was made with the plebs or laos and not with the priests, Levites, Scribes, Pharisees or Rabbi rejected Messiah by not being aware of the history of the Word. They are actively at work denying His Second advent because He didn't set up an earthly kingdom with them as dominant rulers the first time. The first Covenant was made with Israel and the Lion of the Tribe of Judah: not the Jews.
The Law of Moses was given because of transgression: musical idolatry of the Egyptian trinity at Mount Sinai. God sentenced them to return to Babylon for captivity an death. Musical idolatry was beyond redemption for those who engaged in despising the Holiness of God. Godly Jews attended Synagogue and learned the Laws of Moses to keep from getting executed: they attended synagogue or church in the wilderness to Rest, Read and Rehearse the Word of God. That pattern never changed even though the teaching resources changed.
The law was given to the Jews BECAUSE they were the offenders and the lawless needed legislation primarily to prevent the nobility and clergy from robbing them blind.
A person who still feels racial feelings in their blood and who has been REDEEMED by the blood of Christ and never by the blood of animals, has been liberated from that Because of Transgression Burden and the burden laders of clergy mediators.
Gentiles who had often attended synagogue as a School of the Word were wise unto salvation. The Jerusalem conference just commanded that they not engage in fornication or eating blood (usually from a living animal) and not offend the Jews. That did not mean that either Jew or Gentile observe the Worship of the Starry host to which God abandoned Israel in the wilderness.
The illiterate Jews murdered Stephen when he told them that God had never commanded their abandonment.
Acts 7:41 And they made a calf in those days,"The triumphal hymn of Moses had unquestionably a religious character about it; but the employment of music in religious services, though idolatrous, is more distinctly marked in the festivities which attended the erection of the golden calf." (Smith's Bible Dictionary, Music, p. 589).
and offered sacrifice unto the idol,
and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.

Pind. I. 6 Just as we mix the second bowl of wine when the men's symposium is flourishing, here is the second song of the Muses for Lampon's children and their athletic victories: first in Nemea, Zeus, in your honor they received the choicest of garlands,This is the Crooked Race we are warned to save ourselves FROM.
Acts 7:42 Then God turned,Pind. I. 7 In which of the local glories of the past, divinely blessed Thebe, did you most delight your spirit? Was it when you raised to eminence the one seated beside Demeter of the clashing bronze cymbals, flowing-haired [5] Dionysus? Or when you received, as a snow-shower of gold in the middle of the night, the greatest of the gods, when he stood in the doorway of Amphitryon, and then went in to the wife to beget Heracles?
But since ancient grace sleeps, and mortals are forgetful of whatever does not reach the highest bloom of skillful song, joined to glorious streams of words, [20] then begin the victory procession with a sweet-singing hymn for Strepsiades;
and gave them up to worship the host of heaven;
as it is written in the book of the prophets,
O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices
by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
Acts 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
and the star of your god Remphan,
figures which ye made to worship them:
and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
The Star of David was originally the secret symbol of the stargazing priests, later adopted by the Israelite Kings David and Solomon and subsequently by the Hebrew people as a whole.
27. beyond Damascus--In Ac 7:43 it is "beyond Babylon," which includes beyond Damascus. In Amos time, Damascus was the object of Israel's fear because of the Syrian wars. Babylon was not yet named as the place of their captivity.
Stephen supplies this name. Their place of exile was in fact, as he states, "beyond Babylon," in Halah and Habor by the river Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes (2Ki 17:6; compare here Am 1:5 4:3 6:14). The road to Assyria lay through "Damascus." It is therefore specified, that not merely shall they be carried captives to Damascus, as they had been by Syrian kings (2Ki 10:32,33 13:7),
but, beyond that, to a region whence a return was not so possible as from Damascus.
They were led captive by Satan into idolatry, therefore God caused them to go captive among idolaters. Compare 2Ki 15:29 16:9 Isa 8:4, whence it appears Tiglath-pileser attacked Israel and Damascus at the same time at Ahaz' request (Am 3:1
Messianic Judazing is ANTI- the entire Old Testament and ANTI Christ of Christianity. Joseph Shulam claims that the Prophets by the Spirit OF Christ in Jeremiah 31 prophesies that what they call the "Torah" or Law is a restoration of the Law of Moses. Because the Law of Moses was given because of transgression meaning musical idolatry and God's sending them into captivity and death, what student of the Old Testament including Paul could claim to be a scholar and deny:
WHAT WAS REJECTED BY ALL NATIONS OTHER THAN THOSE GIVEN TO WAR AND VIOLENCE.
Psa. 144:1 Blessed be the LORD MY strength, which teacheth MY hands to war, and MY fingers to fight:
Psa. 144:2 MY goodness, and mMY fortress; MYy high tower, and MY deliverer;
MY shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under ME.
Psa. 144:3 LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man,
that thou makest account of him!
Psa. 144:4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
Psa. 144:5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
Psa. 144:6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
Psa. 144:7 Send thine hand from above; rid ME, and deliver ME out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
Psa. 144:8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
WARRIOR MUSIC FOR A MAN DEVOTED TO SHEDDING THE BLOOD OF HIS PERSONAL ENEMIES.
Psa. 144:9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God:
upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
Psa. 144:10 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
Psa. 144:11 Rid ME, and deliver ME from the hand of strange children,

Adam and Eve were not Jews. Abraham was a "gens" which means NOT JEWISH. God rescued Abraham and his family from the land of the Hebrews and promised him a small "bubble" on the map of Canaan. Jacob cursed the tribe of Levi, commanded the godly people NOT to attend their qahal or synagogue and not to enter into covenant with them. The Israelites brought their abominations with them and fell back into Egyptian-Canaanite-Babylon worship of the starry host and REJECTED the Creator of the host.
They ABANDONED the Promise made to Abraham. Moses said that the Jews would be blind and deaf until "another prophet like me comes" meaning
God gave the Second Law after The Book of the Covenant which the Israelites rejected by musical idolatry. He sentenced them back to their place of origin for captivity and death. A tiny trickle of blood spread into the European countries and almost all "Jews" can be DNA-ed back to one mother. Most of the Israelites (not Jew) either perished or became settled as restored Babylonians.
Just like all nations, the people of the Ancient Near East were made up of the good, the bad and the ugly. The bad and ugly consisted of magicians who performed religious rituals as agents of the gods. In exchange, you removed them from the labor force so they could establish navels of the gods. Those who WORKED six days during seed time and harvest were given a day of REST: Sabbath does not mean a day of worship but a day of REST protected from the religious tyrants who confiscated all of the means of production.
The LEVITES are called Braham by Josephus because they were an old priests of burning. They are more than the sons of the Jacob-cursed and God-abandoned tribe of Levi. They were an old Infant Burning priesthood in Egypt, in Sinai and in Jerusalem.
There are many Elohim or "gods" but Jehovah is the only TRUE El. Then to distinguish Himself He is only true as the God of Abraham, Jacob etc. He is true only in hyphenated forms defining who, when and why He is true. Of the generic "gods" which the abandoned Jews worshipped in Jerusalem already set up as a center for the worship of astrial gods, they are defined by the other writers of history or what Paul called "Jewish Fables."
Chambers' Encyclopedia says: "The Jews, as well as the early Christians, had no special names for the single days, but counted their number from the previous Sabbath, beginning with Sunday, as the first after the Sabbath, and ending with Friday, as the sixth after the previous, or eve (Ereb) of the next Sabbath.
The planetary gods Nardouk (Jupiter), Adar (Saturn), Istar (Venus), Nergal (Mars), and Nebo (Mercury),* were all worshiped by the ancient Israelites. Istar was called "Queen of the Stars." Moloch, the rival of Jehovah, who shared for centuries the worship of the Hebrews, had his blazing star, the emblem of his implacable cruelty. The worship of Astarte, daughter of the moon, and "Queen of Heaven," whose emblem was a star, was introduced by Solomon himself (1 Kings xi, 5; 2 Kings xxiii, 13).
Molech... Chiun—"Molech" means "king" answering to Mars [Bengel]; the Sun [Jablonski]; Saturn, the same as "Chiun" [Maurer]. The Septuagint translates "Chiun" into Remphan, as Stephen quotes it (Ac 7:42, 43). The same god often had different names. Molech is the Ammonite name; Chiun, the Arabic and Persian name, written also Chevan. In an Arabic lexicon Chiun means "austere"; so astrologers represented Saturn as a planet baleful in his influence. Hence the Phoenicians offered human sacrifices to him, children especially; so idolatrous Israel also. Rimmon was the Syrian name (2Ki 5:18); pronounced as Remvan, or "Remphan," just as Chiun was also Chevan. Molech had the form of a king; Chevan, or Chiun, of a star [Grotius]. Remphan was the Egyptian name for Saturn: hence the Septuagint translator of Amos gave the Egyptian name for the Hebrew, being an Egyptian. [Hodius II, De Bibliorum Textibus Originalibus. 4.115]. The same as the Nile, of which the Egyptians made the star Saturn the representative [Harenberg]. Bengel considers Remphan or Rephan akin to Teraphim and Remphis, the name of a king of Egypt. The Hebrews became infected with Sabeanism, the oldest form of idolatry, the worship of the Saba or starry hosts, in their stay in the Arabian desert, where Job notices its prevalence (Job 31:26); in opposition, in Am 5:27, Jehovah declares Himself "the God of hosts."
the star of your god—R. Isaac Caro says all the astrologers represented Saturn as the star of Israel.THE MUSIC AT THE ARCANE RITES. Iamblichus III
In addition to these things you remark as follows: "So also certain others of these ecstatics become entheast or inspired when they hear cymbals, drums, or some choral chant, 21 as, for example, those who are engaged in the Korybantic Rites, 22 those who are possessed at the Sabazian festival and those who are celebrating the Rites of the Divine Mother."23
21. Some exhibition of this kind is described by the Apostle Paul in the first Epistle to the Corinthians. "If," says he, "the whole assembly come together to the same place and all prattle in tongues, and common men should come in, or unbelievers, will they not say that you are raving?" Hence he counsels that only two or three should speak in turn, and one interpret; but if nobody present is capable of this, they should keep silence, and speak only to themselves and to God:
"for not of tumult is he a god, but of tranquillity." (Ovid; Fasti IV,
"The attendants beat the brass, and the hoarse-sounding hides. Cymbals they strike in place of helmets, tambourines for the shields; the pipe yielded its Phrygian notes.")
22. The Korybantes are variously described. Their cult was identified or closely allied to that of the Kabeirian divinities, and that of the Great Mother. It was celebrated in the islands of the Aegean Sea and in Phygia. Music, dancing, processions, and ecstatic frenzy were characteristics.
23. Sabazios, Sabaoth, or Sabbat, the god of the Planet Saturn, was better known as Bacchus or Dionysos, and was also styled in Semitic countries, Iao or Yava. His worship was more or less associated and identified with that of the Great Mother, under various designations, and it was characterized by phallephoric [carrying the penis] processions, dances, mourning for the slain divinity, and the Watch Night. It came from Assyria as its peculiar symbols, the ivy or kissos, the spotted robe or Nimr, and the Thyrso, indicate.
The name Zagreus the Kissos and nimr remind us of Kissaia or Asiatic Ethiopia, and the Zagros mountains occupied by the Nimr. Assyria was called "the land of Nimrod." -Amos VIII.
It is proper, accordingly, to tell the causes of these things, how they came into existence, and what explanation there is for the performing of the Rites. These allusions which you make, namely, that the music at these festivals is exciting and passionate;
that the sound of the flutes causes or heals conditions of aberration; that the music changes the temperaments or dispositions of the body;
that by some of the choral songs the Bacchic frenzy is excited,
but by others the Bacchic orgies are made to cease;how the peculiar differences of these accord with the various dispositions of the soul, and also that the peculiar wavering and variable choric chants, such as those of Olympus, and others of the same kind., are adapted to the producing of ecstasies 24 -- all of them seem to me to be stated in a manner unfavorable to the entheast condition; for they are both physical and human in their quality and performances, according to our technic, but nothing essentially divine appears in them.
24. Proclus declared that the choral songs of Olympus were adapted to produce ecstasy. Plato describes an audience in Ion, comparing it to a series of iron rings connected by a chain and moved by the lodestone: "Some hand from one Muse and some from another," he remarks, "some, for example, from Orpheus, others from Mussios, but the greater part are inspired by Homer and are held fast by him."
26. With the Korghantians, this represented a guard about the Demiurgos or Creator; with the Kuretes, it denoted a protecting of the divine maid Kora.
26. Servius remarks that the Sacred observances of Father Liber, the Roman Bacchus, related to the purification of souls. This cleansing, as here declared, was considered to be not only from contamination acquired by coming into the conditions of physical existence, but also from guilt actually incurred.
Thou seemest to think that those who are enrapt by the Mother of the gods are males, for thou callest them, accordingly, "Metrizontes"; yet that is not true, for the "Metrizontesæ" are chiefly women. A very few, however, are males, and such as may be more delicate. [that always meant homosexuals] This enthusiasm has a power that is both life-engendering and perfective, in which respect it differs from every other form of frenzy.
Orphic theogony.
"Now Rhea [Zoe], as Ceres, in Hymn XIV, is called 'brass-sounding' and 'drum-beating'.This has reference to the mystical results of certain sounds and rhythm, part and parcel of what the Hindus call Mantravidyâ. I remember reading a curious old French book in the Bibliothèque de la Ville of Clermont-Ferrand, one of the books confiscated from the Minime Monastery of the same town, at the time of the Revolution.THE JEWISH SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM IS CHRIST'S PATTERN FOR HELL: Jerusalem is called Sodom and Mother of Harlots.
- This work dealt with the magical properties of music, and described for what especial purposes the various instruments of music were used in the Temple-service of the Jews. Now Iamblichus (De Mysteries, III.ix) goes into the matter of the so-called Corybantic and Bacchic 'frenzies' produced by musical instruments in the Mysteries of Ceres and Bacchus;
Must ye always rejoice, and go into my holy places continually, as they that keep a feast? and must ye go with a pipe, as those that rejoice into the mountain of the Lord, to the God of Israel Isaiah 30:29 LXX
and the Lord shall make his glorious voice to be heard and the wrath of his arm, to make a display with wrath and anger and devouring flame: he shall lighten terribly, and his wrath shall be as water and violent hail. Isaiah 30:30 LXX
For by the voice of the Lord the Assyrians shall be overcome, even by the stroke where with he shall smite them. Isaiah 30:31 LXX
And it shall happen to him from every side, that they from whom their hope of assistance was, in which he trusted, themselves shall war against him in turn with drums and with harp. Isaiah 30:32 LXX
For thou shalt be required before thy time: has it been prepared for thee also to reign? nay, God has prepared for thee a deep trench, wood piled fire and much wood: the wrath of the Lord shall be as a trench kindled with sulphur. Isaiah 30:33 LXX
The Jews practiced the same Sabazianism or star worship which connects directly to the Apollo, Abaddon or Apollyon of Revelation. He and the Locusts or muses were unleashed from the smoky pit to make a final attack upon the godly "Jews" and Gentiles." John warns against the Babylonian Mother of Harlots..
THE LYING PEN OF THE SCRIBES
Joseph Shulam says that the law (Torah) is the Law of Moses which we know was written on stone: Messiah brings a NEW LAW written on the heart. That is why worship is IN THE PLACE of the human heart or spirit as disciples of the WORD of Christ.
Jer. 8:9 The wise MEN ARE ASHAMED, THEY ARE DISMAYED AND TAKEN:
LO, THEY HAVE REJECTED THE WORD OF THE LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
Jer. 8:10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them:
for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness,
from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely
Jer. 8:7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times;
and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming;
but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
Jer. 8:8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is WITH US?
LO, CERTAINLY IN VAIN MADE HE IT; THE PEN OF THE SCRIBES IS in vain.
8267. sheqer, sheh´-ker; from 8266; an untruth; by implication, a sham (often adverbial):—without a cause, deceit(-ful), false(-hood, -ly), feignedly, liar, + lie, lying, vain (thing), wrongfully.
Cyril of Alexandria, Commentary on John,Paul spent his time and life trying to silence the Judaizers who tried to make The Christian System into a way to save Judaism: a system of the worship of the starry host to which God abandoned Israel where He permitted them to worship like the Babylonians and construct a temple which was a ziggurat. This enslaved the Jews and any Gentile who wanted to remain in the area. There was nothing in the Law of Moses or the changed Law of the Sacrificial system which had any value to the human spirit or conscience. A law is good because it regulates a society but it is not good when it forced civillians to support the Civil-Military-Clergy to be mediators or God handlers for the inept.
That the Pharisees puffed up unto strange boasting,
were wont to pretend that the Divine Word was with them and in them,
and therefore foolishly affirmed that they had advanced to marvellous wisdom,
the Spirit Itself will testify,
since Christ says by the Prophet Jeremiah unto them,
How do ye say, WE are wise, and the word of the Lord is with us?
For nought to the scribes became their lying pen;
the wise men were ashamed, were dismayed and taken;
what wisdom is in them? because they rejected the word of the Lord.
For how are they not taken rejecting the Living and Hypostatic Word of God, receiving not the faith to Him-ward,
but dishonouring the Impress of God the Father, and refusing to behold His most true Form (so to say)
through His God-befitting Authority and Power?
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.
Messianic "Jews" have fallen into the same folly as the Jacob-cursed tribe of Levi, the Law of Moses, the king, kingdom, temple, sacrifices and exorcism "music." Christ in the prophets say that God DID NOT command any of these: he commanded the Abrahamic Covenant as the synagorue or Church of Christ in the Wilderness. The Covenant was made by God in Christ to Abraham and His SEED (singular) fully realized in Jesus of Nazareth and proven by Paul in Galatians 3 which repudiates the Jewish Roots.
Ezekiel 20:23 I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness,THE WAY OF THE LORD WAS BY GOD IN CHRIST.
that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;
Ezekiel 20:24 Because they had not executed my judgments,
but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths,
and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.
Ezekiel 20:25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good,
and judgments whereby they should not live;
The religion in Mesopotamia was so evil that God "elected" or pruned His flock: Abraham was a Gentile or Chaldean and his Semite family descended from Shem and was bound to the Mesopotamamian Temple States. God did not intend to enforce the Shemite fall into Babylonianism but to CULL or elect Abraham to be the model of the teachings of Christ.
We know from Babylonian tablets that after the flood the people returned to that which brought on the flood. It is clear that not all of the Cainites were destroyed and they began all over with a much smaller area of destruction. Abraham was to begin a NEW NATION.Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram,
Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred,
and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
Genesis 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation,
and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
Gentiles are grafted into the Abrahamic Covenant which was Gentile, We are restored to that Christian Covenant when we are baptized into Christ. [Gal 3] The period of the Law of Moses imposed because of transgression and the not-commanded sacrificial system have anything to contribute to the Church of Christ ordained before Jerusalem and bondage.Galatians 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant,
that was confirmed before of God in Christ,
the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after,
cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
Israel in a national sense was also culled and abandoned to worship the starry host and be prepared to return to Assyria and Babylon. The Christian System continued in the synagogue, ekklesia or Church of Christ in the wilderness quarantined by the sword of the Levites from all of the sacrificial system.
Genesis 18:17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;Because Abraham lived in the Patriarchal period and he was commanded to be a blessing and teach, the synagogue existed in its natural non-codified, non clergy, non-sacrificial system because on Mount Moriah God provided the sacrificial lamb as the "gospel preached to Abraham." If God provided on Mount Moriah He did not command Solomon to provide on Mount Moriah where Sabazianism was in full operation.
Genesis 18:18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation,
and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
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.
The true followers of Abraham were hindered by the Jacob-Cursed tribe of Levi but this covenant never changed. The kingdom of God does not come with religious observations.
Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him
Contrary to fleshly Israel as our MODEL, we will show that both the Old and New Testament uses Sodom, Sinai, Jerusalem and the Law to define those who got turned over to worship the starry host because of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai and the idolatry never ceased.
Genesis 18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great,
and because their sin is very grievous;
Genesis 18:21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it,
which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
Genesis 18:22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom:
but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
The Scribes and Pharisees made up their songs, sermons and laws to PREVENT people from following God's Word in the Prophets which was free of charge (Isaiah 55). Stephen was a student and understood that Israel was made blind and deaf (2 Cor 3) after they denounced The Book of The Covenant which was essentially the Abrahamic Covenant. Moses prophesied that a future prophet would arise:
Acts 7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel,
A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren,
like unto me; him shall ye hear.Acts 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with
the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers:
who received the lively oracles to give unto us: [The Book of the Covenant: Abrahamic through Christ]
A theophany is God manifesting Himself in a visible and audible form: it was God in Christ who spoke to abraham: it was Christ the Rock who followed Israel in the wilderness.
Acts 7:39 To whom our fathers would not obey,
but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
This was before the Law of Moses.
Acts 7:40 Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, w
Acts 7:41 And they made a calf in those days,

The Egyptian Opis (Apis) and others which Israel worshipped at Mount Sinal were worshipped throughout the area. "In preference to all other hymns these choirs generally sang the so-called epiphany hymns, which were intended to invite the gods to appear. Plutarch wrote:Why do the women of Elis call upon God in song to approach them with the bull's foot? Their song is the following:"For nonliterate peoples, music often serves purposes other than entertainment or aesthetic enjoyment. Certain wind instrumentare closely associated with the supernatural, and their sounds connote powerful magic. Australian Aborigines, for instance, identify the sound of a bull-roarer with thevoices of supernatural beings; for the Plains Indians, the same sound signifies an awesome natural phenomenon, such as thunder. Wind instruments are often among a group's most important ritual objects, and in some cultures they are specially venerated. The Kamairua Indians of the Amazon rain forest keep their giant flutes (three to four feet long), wherein spirits are believed to dwell, in a special shrine where they are worshiped.

First, God's Abandonment of Israel to the worship of the Hosts of Heaven: that is why the Sabbath is not Saturday.
Acts 7:42 Then God turned,
and gave them up to worship the host of heaven;
as it is written in the book of the prophets,
O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts
and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
Second, they continued to worship "your" god Remphan. The Levites were chosen to execute the idolaters and guard the sacrificial altar from the eyes, ears and nose of the godly people and execute anyone who tried to "come into their secret."
Acts 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
and the star of your god Remphan,
figures which ye made to worship them:
and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
Exodus 33:2 And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite,
and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
1Corinthians 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink:Exodus 33:3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey:
for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them:
and that Rock was Christ.
for I will not go up in the midst of thee;
for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.
IF GOD TURNED ISRAEL OVER TO WORSHIP THE STARRY HOST AND THAT IS WHAT THEY WORSHIPPED WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO IMPOSE THE WAY THROUGH CANAAN AND BACK TO BABYLON?The Exodus people were culturally Egyptians and they--especially the Levites--brought their abominations with them.
Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes,
and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. Ezekiel 20: 7offensĭo , stumbling block
Absol.: “offensione sonitūs,” Vitr. 9, 8, 3.—
C. That which causes one to offend or sin, a stumbling-block (eccl. Lat.): “unusquisque offensiones oculorum suorum abiciat,” Vulg. Ezech. 20, 7: “nemini dantes ullam offensionem,” id. 2 Cor. 6, 3: “lapis offensionis,”
Vitr. 9.8.3 As the weight fell into the narrow limits of the pipe, it naturally compressed the enclosed air, and, as its fall was rapid, it forced the mass of compressed air through the outlet into the open air, thus producing a distinct sound by the concussion.
4. Hence, Ctesibius, observing that sounds and tones were produced by the contact between the free air and that which was forced from the pipe, made use of this principle in the construction of the first water organs.
Since they worshipped the starry host, the "eyes' might mean:
ŏcŭlus 2. A luminary, said of the sun and stars (poet. and in post-Aug. prose): mundi oculus. i. e. the sun, Ov. M. 4, 228: “stellarum oculi,” Plin. 2, 5, 4, § 10But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me:
they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes,
neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt:
........... then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them,
........... to accomplish my anger against them
........... in the midst of the land of Egypt. Ezekiel 20: 8
God in His righteousness had every right to let the Israelites self-destruct in Egypt: they were worse than the nations around them. However, God removed them to fulfil prophecy and not let the Egyptians see God's destruction of the 'set in their ways' people.
But I wrought for my names sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were,
in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt. Ezekiel 20: 9
........... Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt,
........... and brought them into the wilderness. Ezekiel 20:10
The Jewish Monarchy involved only the Civil-Military-Clergy system and involved both human and animal sacrifice. The musical idolatry at Mount Sinai let the Levites volunteer to execute 3,000 of the "brethren." God through Moses then ordained the Levites to stand guard at the Tabernacle and later Temple which was quarantined behind walls and off limits to those not of Aaron or anyone not on duty. When the Levites prophesied with musical instruments making noise, the word means soothing with instruments other than the true Prophets who were inspired by Christ to repudiate the curse of the Monarchy.
There is no historic Christian Scholar who does not agree with the following:
Coffman's Commentary Speaks for the total Bible view that Israel's rejection of God as King, Judge and Priest set the stage for their later repudiation of Jesus Christ in order to keep the evil Temple-System like all other nations. Remember that the clergy was still seeking a king "like the nations" and had not a hint of looking for a Spiritual King, Prince and Mediator:The synagogue simply read and discussed the history of the Hebrews and other nations: like all national epics this helped people live in harmony with their culture.
The great Cambridge scholar, Henry McKeating, has the following comment on this passage from Hosea:"Hosea is not only antagonistic to the northern kings but to the monarchy as such. The monarchy is powerless to save the nation. Israel was wrong to ask for a king. Her punishment was that she got what she asked." 7: Henry McKeating, Amos, Hosea, and Micah (Cambridge: University Press, 1971), p. 148.Coffman: "We are aware that it is popular among many able commentators today to make apologies for Israel's monarchy and to apply what the Scriptures plainly say about it to some specific monarch, Saul, for example, as did Dummelow, or to the kings of Northern Israel as did Hailey;but it is the conviction of this writer thatIsrael was totally and completely wrong in asking a king and that this rejection of God (that is what the text calls it) contained embryonically all of the later sorrows of the Chosen People.Go down the list of Israel's kings, David, the very best of all of them, was an adulterer and a murderer; and he also corrupted the worship of God by two sinful things:
So does God in first Samuel eight
Throughout the whole history of Israel, there were very few monarchs who even tried to serve the Lord. Solomon was to be blamed for the division of the kingdom under his son, because the people simply rejected the excesses of Solomon; and yet, even after God took the monarchy away from them, the nation wanted nothing in heaven or on earth as much as they wanted the restoration of that scandalous Solomonic empire. It was this, more than anything else, that motivated their rejection of God Himself,finally and irrevocably,
in their rejection of God's Son, Jesus Christ the Holy One.(1) his initiating the events that led to the building of the temple (the den of thieves and robbers in Jesus' times); andIf God had ever approved of it, He would never have taken it away from them!
(2) his introduction of instruments of music into the worship of God. We do not have the space here to outline all of the misdeeds of Israel's shameful monarchy,but it is clear enough that God's disapproval of the monarchy was no late thing, applicable only to the phantom kings of Ephraim's final years, but it rested upon the monarchy from the very beginning of it as outlined in this chapter.
Nevertheless, God accommodated to the sinful conduct of His people and in many specific instances blessed the kings of Israel,
"The Israelite state was not founded with divine blessing. Rather, it was allowed as a grudging concession, just as a parent lets a child have his way in order that he may learn his folly from experience." (Anderson, Bernard, Theology of the O.T. p. 163).
"In one sense the creation of the monarchy was providential...In retrospect, one can say that events which brought about the collapse of the Confederacy and the rise of the Israelite state were not...devoid of divine purpose. God's revelation is relevant to the whole of human life--to economics, politics, and every sphere of human activity.
If God would speak to the nations through Israel,
then Israel must undergo the experience of being a nation in order that she might appreciate the wealth of nationhood and attack the idolatrous power of nationalism." (Bernard Anderson, p. 163)
However, the ROOTS are in the Covenant made to Abraham by God in CHRIST: The Qahal or synagogue was The Church of Christ in the Wilderness. This quarantined all of the godly people and many Gentiles from the Sun and Astrial deity worship at the Temple. The only thing Jesus changed was to prescribed the Reading Resource and to add the Lord's Supper as a teaching act confessing that He died for us.
Christianity means in effect REST from the rituals of both the Jews and Gentiles so that people could "come learn of me." Preaching the Word by reading it as they did in the synagogue leaves no room for DOGMA or aiding God by imposing "musical preferences" or anything that went beyond the people calling themselves into the assembly or synagogue which defines out whatever it is that Jewish or Christian clergy needs to impose to justify their not-commanded and not funded role.
Jews and those in sympathy may miss the point that after the fall from grace at Mount Sinai, and God's abandonment of them to worship the starry host and then later the rise of nationalism was a crushing burden on the faithful and godly Israelites.
God would not CONVERT him into a spiritual person based on what the kings would do:
And Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto the people that asked of him a king. 1 Samuel 8:10
And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you:
He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots,
and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots. 1 Samuel 8:11
And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties;
and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest,
and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots. 1 Samuel 8:12
And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. 1 Samuel 8:13
And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards,
even the best of them, and give them to his servants. 1 Samuel 8:14
And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards,
and give to his officers, and to his servants. 1 Samuel 8:15

And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you;and the Lord will not hear you in that day. 1 Samuel 8:18And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord. 1 Samuel 8:21And the Lord said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king.In Chapter Ten, Samuel gives some more details about the TRUE motives of the people.
And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city. 1 Samuel 8:22And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel,Confirmation from Psalm 106

and ye have said unto him,
Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore
present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes, and by your thousands. 1 Sam 10:19
They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: Psa 106:32
Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips. Psa 106:33
They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the Lord commanded them: Psa 106:34But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. Psa 106:35Paul identified the rising up to PLAY as Devil or demon worship at Mount Sinai. That confirms that so-called musical "worship" was always a way to "make the lambs dumb before the slaughter."
And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. Psa 106:36
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, Psa 106:37And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,
whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan:
and the land was polluted with blood. Psa 106:38

Coffman Notes: WICKED ISRAEL'S PREFERENCE FOR PAGAN SHRINES
"Despite the fact of God's having set up his holy altar at a specific location and having given the most solemn prohibitions against worshipping or sacrificing elsewhere, and in spite of God's having forbidden the Jews to honor or retain any of the pagan shrines and altars in Palestine, they nevertheless spared all the pagan shrines, and installed others.
"Note the fourfold repetition of the word "there" in Ezek. 20:28. It was especially an affront to the God of Israel that his people would patronize and even prefer to worship at such high places, rather than at God's true altar. Of course, it was the licentious worship of the pagans which they at once adopted and included along with God's worship that was the great attraction for Israel. Blasphemy against God? Of course; it was blasphemy of the worst kind, because it connected the holy name of the Lord Jehovah with all the immorality and debaucheries of paganism.
THE WAY OF THE LORD
Ephesians 2:11 Wherefore remember,
that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh,
who are called Uncircumcision by that
which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
That was the Jewish opinion not fact: The Circumcision demanded that the Gentiles be circumcised and keep the Law of Moses before they could be baptized into Christ
Ephesians 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ,
being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel,
and strangers from the covenants of promise,
having no hope, and without God in the world:
Not being part of fleshly Israel did not mean that they were lost:
Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles,
which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law,
these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Being called Uncircumcision by the Jews did not hinder their acceptance by God.
Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him,
and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
God in Christ made the Covenant with Abraham available to all nations. It was the Jewish clergy which hindered both Jews and Gentiles from the benefit of Christ made known in the Pillar, Manna, Rock, Water etc. Jesus died to try to put down all racism and prejudice on an individual level:
Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one,
and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity,
even the law of commandments contained in ordinances;
for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Ephesians 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross,
having slain the enmity thereby:
Jewish Identity, Jewish Roots or Hebraic Roots or Messianic Judaism alienates and does not help.
Cossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands,
in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him
through the faith of the operation of God,
who hath raised him from the dead.
Paul insists that they do not have to be circumcised or become a Jew which under the law was related only to the flesh:
Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us,
which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers,
he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink,
or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
The Book of The Law was given because of transgression (Musical idolatry profaning the sabbath). The Jews thought it made them predestinated by God. In Romans 10 Paul declares that fleshly Israel LOST that elect state by the PLAY or musical idolatry. God permitted them to take the "promised land" by shedding of blood but they were just being transported to Assyria and Babylon. He gave them kings IN HIS ANGER to enslave everyone. See First Samuel Eight
And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. 1 Samuel 8:7
"The Israelite state was not founded with divine blessing.

God left it to the woman at the well to know why Messiah was to come.
JESUS PUT AN END TO RITUALISTIC, SUPERSTITION RELIGION.
The Kingdom of God does not come with religious observations. This drives a nail in trying to resurrect Judaism.
John 4:19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
John 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain;
and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
John 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh,
when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
John 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what:
we know what we worship: for salvation [Jesus] is of the Jews.
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is,
when the true worshippers shall worship the Father
in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John 4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ:
when he is come, he will tell us all things.
John 4:26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
Jesus came to destroy worship at houses built by human hands: worship is IN Spirit is worship in Our spriit which is A holy spirit after we have obeyed and been baptized. The Jews murdered Stephen for telling them that God had not commanded the Temple and that they lost it because of idolatry at Mount Sinai.
Because you cannot trace DNA back then, Jesus denounced racism, declared all mankind sinners and therefore the Jews were not predestinated because they were chosen for task.
His Web Pages are www.netivyah.org which he says means "the Way of the Lord".
THE WAY OF THE LORD IS NOT JEWISH ROOTS OR Jewish Identity, Jewish Roots or Hebraic Roots or Messianic Judaism.
Modern Jews and Christians seduced into using the Levites or Soothsayers with instruments to lade the burden of a "praise team" seem not to realize that the Monarchy did not follow the Law of Moses but the Laws of the kings and all national religions including Babylonia. This was physically and spiritually destructive to the Jews. It should not be defended as that of the Abrahamic Covenant made by Christ to be a blessing and teaching effort.
It is clear that God "turned Israel over to worship the starry host" and He did not command a pattern for the Temple unless He commanded a Tyrian or Babylonian Temple. Christ in the prophets warn about the "lying pen of the Scribes." And God denies that He needs to be fed, housed or entertained. In the history of Solomon's temple we know that it was Hiram who both designed and built the temple an Solomon paid him bu selling whole cities. Before Hiram became the "Masonic Architect" all pagans built temples as stepped pyramids or ziggurats. While the Bible does not define the steps, a non-stepped tower would have been pretty unnatural. God certainly sentenced them to that worship:
THE JEWS WORSHIPPED THE STARRY HOST: NOT THE GOD OF HOSTS
Exod 32:6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings holocaustum a whole burnt - offering and brought peace offerings;
and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to playExodus 32:33 And the LORD said unto Moses,
Whosoever hath sinned against me,
him will I blot out of my book.
Exod 32:34 Therefore now go,
lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee:
behold, mine Angel shall go before thee:
nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
Deuteronomy 9:12 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence;
for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt
have corrupted themselves;
they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them;
they have made them a molten image.
H7843 shâchath shaw-khath' A primitive root; to decay, that is, (causatively) ruin (literally or figuratively):—batter, cast off, corrupt (-er, thing), destroy (-er, -uction), lose, mar, perish, spill, spoiler, X utterly, waste (-r).
dē-sĕro , I. to undo or sever one's connection with another; hence, with esp. reference to the latter, to leave, forsake, abandon, desert, give up (cf. derelinquere; more restricted in signif. than relinquere, which denotes, in general, to depart from, to leave any one. Deserere, orig. in milit. lang., implies a cowardly running away
Amos 5:26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images,
Acts 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
the star of your god,
which ye made to yourselves.
Amos 5:27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus,
saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
and the star of your god Remphan,
figures which ye made to worship them:
and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
Acts 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
and the star of your god Remphan,
figures which ye made to worship them:
and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
The WAY of course is connected to the only spiritual covenant made by God in CHRIST with Abraham and not to the Jews and the not-commanded king, kingdom, temple, animal sacrifices or keeping of days based on astrology: the worship of the starry host. Stephen makes the Church of Christ in the wilderness the Greek ekklesia. Both the civil ekklesia and the Greek Synagogue or Jewish synagogue were devoted to READING and meditating on the Word of God. Therefore, the WAY always existed but it had to be quarantined from the Civil-Military-Clergy "Jews" who had been abandoned to the Babylonianism to which God sentenced them because of Mount Sinai musical idolatry.
The Levites were an old priesthood in Egypt and they brought the abomination of Moloch worship with them and practiced it in the wilderness.
The oldest Dionysus was the fire-god Moloch. The ungodly classes burned infants to Moloch in the wilderness and contemporaneous literature makes it the same old Egyptian, Greek, Canaanite and Babylon worship.
Where God's bacchic Fire leaps.—Euripides, Ion, 1125.We might note that the owners of Canaan were Phoenicians who brought Moloch worship with them. They, too, call themselves Jews.
Eur. Ion 1106 Attendant
When Creusa's husband left the god's oracular shrine, he took his new son to the feast and the sacrifice he was preparing for the god. [1125] Xuthus then went where the flame of Bacchus leaps, so that he might drench both rocks of Dionysos with the slaughter, as a thank-offering for the sight of his son, and he said: “You, my child, stay here and raise a tent, fitted on both sides, by the toil of carpenters. [1130] If I should remain a long time in my sacrifice to the gods of birth, set up the banquet for the friends who are there.” Delphi
Of course God stopped Abraham at Moriah which meant
that God supplies. This did not prevent Solomon from
building a sacrificial altar on Moriah.
"The fireworship in the Herakles-temple at Gades [and Tyre] was, according to Phoenician custom, conducted without an image; ! this was the case in Jerusalem. He is the spirit in nature, the Breath of life. The philosophy of the ancient world was adhered to by both polytheists and monotheists. Egyptians' and Hindus, in spite of polytheism, believed in One God supreme, the doctrine of the primal unity of the spirit was held in the Mysteries of the Chaldean Adonis, the Jewish la'hoh- Adoni, the Arab Dionysus - lacchos, the Egyptian Osiris : and the frog-headed deities of Egypt pointed to water as the medium in which the spirit was supposed to operate ; for the spirit was formed out of the waters.
Rev. 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
they claim they are Jews #2453 Ioudas - Judas; in Hebrew 3063 - Yehudah - a descendant of Judah. They paid their way into the Herodian ruling class. The Saducean priesthood during the first century were not of Aaron but consisted of four families: Boethus, Hanan, Kimchit, and Phiabi. They intermarried with the Herodians, the Royal Rulers of the State of Israel, who were, themselves Edomites (Idumeans) from the Petra region (or Edom) and descendants of Esau (or Seir, which means "shaggy, he-goat, devil"), thus the "synagogue of Satan" leaders claimed to be Jews but were Edomites appointed by the Herodian rulers under Rome; Herod Antipas, for instance, and Pontius Pilate held the same governmental position for Rome, the reason for much rivalry between them); since Esau was "red and hairy" his nickname was Edom, and he lived in Seir where Ham's descendants settled.These Jews in Jerusalem were not of Abraham: most godly Jews had fleed rather than pollute the temple with music and prostitution. Jesus did not imitate anything in Jerusalem except the tiny remnant of those still living in Jerusalem.
John 8:41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him,THE WAY OF THE LORD WAS NOT WITH THE NATIONAL JEWS
We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
John 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me:
for I proceeded forth and came from God;
neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
John 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech?
even because ye cannot hear my word.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own:
for he is a liar, and the father of it.
John 8:55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him:
and if I should say, I know him not,
I shall be a liar like unto you:
but I know him, and keep his saying.
John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day:
and he saw it, and was glad.
John 8:57 Then said the Jews unto him,
Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Jesus of Nazareth is speaking of the Christ of God Who made the covenant with Abraham.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,THE WAY OF THE LORD given to Abraham was codified as The Book of The Covenant . The Israelites now more Egyptian repudiated the Covenant and were slapped with The book of The Law to help govern them back to Assyria and Babyoon: it will find its ultimate fulfilment when the same Christ the Rock Who defined the Qahal, synagogue or Church of Christ in the wilderness, as The Holy Spirit takes control as the Only Teacher and authority for "observing."
Amend your ways and your doings,
and I will cause you to dwell in this place. Jeremiah 7:3
Trust ye not in lying words, saying,
The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord,
The temple of the Lord, are these. Jeremiah 7:4
Jer. 8:8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is WITH US?
LO, CERTAINLY IN VAIN MADE HE IT;
THE PEN OF THE SCRIBES IS in vain.
For I spake NOT unto your fathers, nor commanded them
in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt,
concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: Jeremiah 7:22
Cyril of Alexandria, Commentary on John,
That the Pharisees puffed up unto strange boasting,
were wont to pretend that the Divine Word was with them and in them,
and therefore foolishly affirmed that they had advanced to marvellous wisdom,
the Spirit Itself will testify,
since Christ says by the Prophet Jeremiah unto them,
How do ye say, WE are wise, and the word of the Lord is with us?
For nought to the scribes became their lying pen;
the wise men were ashamed, were dismayed and taken;
what wisdom is in them? because they rejected the word of the Lord.
For how are they not taken rejecting the Living and Hypostatic Word of God,
receiving not the faith to Him-ward,
but dishonouring the Impress of God the Father,
and refusing to behold His most true Form (so to say)
through His God-befitting Authority and Power?
After they rose up in musical idolatry the Book of The Covenant of grace was supplimented with a Second Law imposed on the nobility to protect the poor from the rich.
The way was smoothed by the 120 disciples baptized by John and Jesus through His disciples: this probably constituted the total remnant of those remaining alive in Jerusalem. The rest would be baptized by WIND (not spirit) and FIRE and burned up.Isaiah 40:2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her,
that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned:
for she hath received of the LORD’S hand double for all her sins.Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.Isaiah 40:4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low:
and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:Isaiah 40:5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.Jeremiah 5:4 Therefore I said,
Surely these are poor; they are foolish:
for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God.Jeremiah 5:5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them;
for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their God:
but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.Jeremiah 5:6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them,
and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them,
a leopard shall watch over their cities:
every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces:
because their transgressions (prevaricatioTransgression, deviation from duty or law (eccl. Lat.)
are many, and their backslidings are increased.
Romans 4.15 For the law works wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
Heb 9:15 For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant,
since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions
that were under the first covenant,
that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance

Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
Acts 18:25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord;

the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
THE WAY AS EKKLESIA OR SYNAGOGUE IS A SCHOOL OF THE WORD OF GOD ONLY.
Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
Antithesis: singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
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,
Antithesis: singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Matthew 26.30 When they had 'hymned" they went out to the Mount of Olives.
I believe that the Latin agrees with the common understanding that "singing was using the normal inflections of the human voice." Especially when you are confessing God the Father by the use of a hymn or prayer which gives HIM the glory. Mature males then and probably now do not agree to get together to appease God with singing.
Matthew 26.30 et hymno dicto exierunt in montem Oliveti
