The Work between the
Sabbaths
Since Jesus brought the last
Adam into the completed image of God then His work was done in
Adam. But only Jesus could enter the unending sabbath rest while
still under law, so He took His sabbath rest from the old into the
new. The Holy Spirit remained on Jesus even in the old covenant.
Sabbath to sabbath is eight days. Jesus entered the land as the
perfected lamb and was raised 7 days later Nissan 17th, on the next
weekly sabbath. Jesus redeemed the completed firstborn between the
sabbaths. This was the last work week of last
Adam. Jesus didn't start the new covenant (on the eighth
day) from nothing; just like a born-in-the-flesh Jewish baby
entered covenant on the eighth day, which was only after 40 weeks
in the womb and 7 days in the land. The new creation was
not creation ex nihilo in the type or the
fulfillment.
After two days is in
the third day not in the fourth day!
Hosea
6:2 LXX He will heal us after two days; in the
third day we will rise up; and we live in His
presence.
1 Corinthians
15:4 ECB and that he
was buried; and that he rose the third day according to the
scriptures:*
John 7:23b
...are you angry with Me because I made a man entirely sound
on a sabbath?
Hosea 13:14
LXX From the hand of hades I shall rescue them;
from death I will redeem them. Where is your law suit o death?
Where is your (poison) prick o hades? (Your) persuasive discourse
is hidden from my sight.
*Paul begins and ends 1
Corinthians 15 by seemingly quoting from the Septuigint version of
Hosea; either that or the Hebrew version Paul quoted from has since
been lost or hidden.
YAHSHUA PROPHESIES HIS DEATH AND
RESURRECTION
Matthew
17:22-23 ECB And
they remain in Galiyl, and Yah Shua says to them, The Son of
humanity is about to be betrayed into the hands of
humanity: 23 and
they slaughter him; and the third day he rises. - and they are
extremely sorrowed.
Matthew
12:40 For even as Jonah was in the belly of the
sea monster three days and three nights, so shall the Son of the
human be in the heart of the land three days and three
nights.
If you want to get technical
Jesus' spirit left his body in the daytime of Nissan 14th. So where
did He go? That's not exactly how it happened with Jonah. Jonah's
body was swallowed alive in the sea. Furthermore, Jesus returned to
his body while it was still dark. And why does it say three days
and three nights instead of three nights and three
days?
The covenant land swallowed
Jesus alive by using the sea monster of Rome to do it. Jesus was
not swallowed by a monster at sea due to His unwillingness, as
Jonah was. His own land turned against Him precisely because he was
merciful to sinners; the same reason Jonah turned against Yahwey.
The forgiven Jewish prostitutes and Jewish tax collectors were
loving Jesus more than they were loving the pharisees. The sea
monster in the land of Jerusalem swallowed Jesus alive, spurred on
by all the 'Jonahs' in the land. The Jonahs wanted a millitary
messiah with a heart to destroy Rome and punish sinners not
evangelize them.
The beast from the sea was
Rome, and Rome was ruling in first century Jerusalem.
Since Jesus wouldn't be their
millitary Jewish king, the Jews provoked Rome to swallow Him alive.
The beast reluctantly performed the most inhumane act ever. Like
Jonah, Jesus entered the new covenant, without land borders, on the
third day. Then the born-again 'Jonahs' happily spread the good
news that Jesus lived again. After Pentecost they returned to their
foreign cities with the gospel and after the stoning of Stephen the
true-to-The-Word Jews were persecuted by their unbelieving
relatives and driven out to join the diaspora. Driven out by
those who stayed cursed; the heart of the old land remained in
death, sheol, hades.
Luke
23:46 ECB And Yah Shua voices
with a mega voice, saying, Father, into your hands I set forth my
spirit: - and saying thus, he expires.
John
20:1 CLV Now, on one of the
sabbaths, Miriam Magdalene is coming to the tomb in the
morning, there being still darkness, and is observing the stone
taken away from the door of the tomb."
Preparing The
Spices
Traditionally the Jewish woman
helped wash bodies for burial. They went with Joseph to place Jesus
in the tomb right before the high sabbath of Unleavened Bread
began. They then returned home to prepare spices. Legally they
could have purchased or prepared spices on Nissan 14th and 16th but
not Nissan 15th or 17th, because the 15th was the high sabbath and
the 17th was the weekly sabbath. They washed and placed the body as
the 14th ended. They rested on His first day in the tomb (15th) and
prepared spices on His second day in the tomb (16th). It is the
traditional veiw that doesn't have a work day to prepare the
spices.
Luke 23:50-56
LITV 50 And,
behold, a man named Joseph, being a councillor, a good and
righteous man. 51 This
one was not assenting to their counsel and deed ( he was from
Arimathea, a city of the Jews), and who himself was eagerly
expecting the kingdom of God, 52 coming
near to Pilate, this one asked for the body of
Jesus. 53 And
taking it down, he wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a quarried
tomb, where no one was ever yet laid. 54 And
it was Preparation Day, and a sabbath was coming
on. 55 And
also women were following, who were accompanying Him out of
Galilee, who watched the tomb, and how His body was
placed. 56 And
returning, they prepared spices and ointment. And indeed they
rested on the sabbath, according to the
commandment.
Mark 16:1-2 And
at the elapsing of the sabbath Mary the Magdalene and Mary the
mother of Jacob and Salome buy spices to go annoint Him. Then very
early in the morning, on one of the sabbaths, they go to the tomb
at the rising of the sun.
Adam
Genesis
1:26 ECB 26 And Elohim says, We work Adam in our
image, after our likeness! - to subjugate over the fish of the sea
and over the flyers of the heavens and over the animals and over
all the earth and over every creeper creeping on the earth. (to
make subjects for the kingdom)
John 14:9
LITV Jesus said to him, Am I so long
a time with you, and you have not known Me, Philip? The one seeing
Me has seen the Father! And how do you say, Show us the
Father?
Psalm 8:4 What
is man that you are being mindful of him and the son of Adam that
you are visiting him?
Jacob
3:8-9 ECB 8 but the tongue, no human can tame - an
unrestrainable evil full of death bearing
venom: 9 therein we eulogize our Elohim and Father;
and therein we curse humanity who became after the likeness of
Elohim. (The very humans who praised God publically then used their
tongues to crucify the human who was completely in God's image.
This is our sad condition before we are born
again.)

Ephesians
4:18-25 CLV 18 their
comprehension being darkened, being estranged from the life of God
because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the
callousness of their hearts, 19 who,
being past feeling, in greed give themselves up with wantonness to
all uncleanness as a vocation." 20 Now
you did not thus learn Christ, 21 since,
surely, Him you hear, and by Him were taught (according as the
truth is in Jesus), 22 to
put off from you, as regards your former behavior, the old
humanity which is corrupted in accord with its seductive
desires, 23 yet
to be rejuvenated in the spirit of your
mind, 24 and
to put on the new humanity which, in accord with
God, is being created in righteousness and benignity of the
truth." 25 Wherefore,
putting off the false, let each be speaking the truth with his
associate, for we are members of one another."
Another clue that
indicates a sabbath day is the town of Bethany. Bethany was as far
from Jerusalem as one was allowed to travel on a sabbath. Jesus,
after much travel (not a sabbath), looked around then left
Jerusalem and stayed in Bethany so he could be back in Jerusalem in
the morning. He may have actually arrived in Jerusalem just as the
sabbath began or nearing sabbath eve.
Jesus rides toward
Jerusalem and looks around on sabbath eve
Mark
11:1-11 ALT 1 And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to
Bethphage and Bethany, to the Mount of Olives, He sends out two of
His disciples 2 and says to them, "Be going away into the
village, the [one] opposite youp, and immediately
entering into it, youp will find a colt [or, young
donkey] having been tied, on which no person has sat. Having
untied it, bring [it]. 3 And if anyone says to youp,' Why are
youp doing this?', youp say, "The Lord has need of it."
And immediately he [will] send it
here." 4 So they went away and
found {the} colt having been tied by the door outside in
the street, and they untied it. 5 And some of the ones having stood there
said to them, "What are youp doing— untying the
colt?" 6 But they said to them just as Jesus
commanded, and they gave them permission. 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus. And
they placed their garments on it, and He sat on
it. 8 Then many spread their coats in the road,
but others were cutting down leafy branches from the trees and were
spreading [them] in the road. 9 And the ones going before and the ones
following began crying out, saying, "We praise You [Gr.,
Hosanna]! 'Having been blessed [is] the One coming in the
name of the LORD!' [Psalm 118:26] 10 Having been blessed [is] the
kingdom of our father David coming in the name of the Lord! We
praise You [Gr., Hosanna] in the
highest!" 11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem and into
the temple. And having looked around at all [things], the hour
already being late, He went out into Bethany with the
twelve.

Mark 11:12-14,
20-21 ALT 12 And the next day, after they had come out
from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 And having seen a fig-tree from a distance
having leaves, He came, if perhaps He will find anything on it.
Then having come upon it, He found nothing except leaves, for it
was not [the] season for figs. 14 And answering, Jesus said to it, "No
longer will anyone eat fruit from you into the age [fig.,
forever]." And His disciples were listening. 20 Then in the early morning, passing by,
they saw the fig-tree having been dried up
from [the] roots. 21 And having remembered, Peter says to Him,
"Rabbi, look! The fig-tree which You cursed has been dried
up."
Jesus drives out the
money changers Mark 11:15-19 ALT 15 And they come into Jerusalem. Then Jesus
having gone into the temple, He began to be casting out the ones
selling and buying in the temple. And He overturned the tables of
the money-changers and the seats of the ones selling the
doves. 16 And He was not allowing that anyone should
carry merchandise through the temple. 17 Then He began teaching [them], saying
to them, "Has it not been written, 'My house will be called a house
of prayer for all the nations?' But youp made it a 'hideout
for robbers!'" [Isaiah 56:7; Jer 7:11] 18 And the scribes and the chief priests
heard. And they began seeking how they could destroy Him, for they
were fearing Him, because the entire crowd was being astonished by
His teaching. 19 And when evening came, He would go forth
outside the city.
In the Hebrew language Adam and
human are the same word. We choose either the name Adam or the word
human when we interpret 'adam' from Hebrew to English.The Greek
scriptures also dilineate between the name Adam and the humanity
that was created in God's image through Adam. The Greek scripture
calls Jesus the last Adam and the second human. He did not start
the new covenant as the second Adam. He took the human part from
Adam to the new covenant but not the name. No one is in the
covenant of Adam. Adam's covenant was put to death by the last
Adam. We are in the humanity of Christ. Eschaton Adam rode toward
Jerusalem on a donkey to sacrifice himself in order to free his
people. In Revelation He is depicted riding a horse to finally put
Adam's covenant of death to death. In the same generation in which
he started the new human body in his name, he then destroyed the
old world, just as he said it would happen.
Genesis 2:15-16 And the
Lord God took the human whom he shaped and put him
in the paradise to work and guard it. And the Lord God gave charge
to Adam saying, from every tree in paradise you
shall eat food, but from the tree of knowing good and evil you
shall not eat from it, but in whatever day you should eat from it
to death you shall die.
Adam went into the death that
day and the prieshood that kept his progeny covered in that death
finally died in AD 70. The new priest keeps us covered in his
life.
Jesus became a minister
to the Jews.
Romans 15:8
ECB 8 And
I word that Yah Shua Messiah became a minister of the circumcision
for the truth of Elohim, to establish the pre-evangelisms to the
fathers:
Matthew 26:32
ECB 32 but
after I rise, I precede you into
Galiyl.
Matthew
28:6-8 LITV 6 He
is not here, for He was raised, as He said. Come, see the place
where the Lord was lying. 7 And
going quickly say to His disciples that He was raised from the
dead. And behold! He goes before you into Galilee. You will see Him
there. Behold! I told you. 8 And
going away from the tomb quickly, with fear and great joy, they ran
to report to His disciples.
Matthew 28:16
ECB 16 And
the eleven disciples go to Galiyl - to a mountain where Yah Shua
ordained them
Moses received revelation
from Yahwey in order to create a nation in the image of humanity.
The humans (Adams) were supposed to behave in the character of
their God and then enter the promised land on the 7th day. Just as
in the prototype; Adam's image was formed on day 6 in the
wilderness and placed in the garden on the sabbath day of
rest.
In Midrash Rabba,
it is stated that on the authority of Rabbi Simon
“that a new world order came into
being with the end of the sixth world age at the
revelation on Mount
Sinai. ‘There was a
weakening (metash) of the
creation. Hitherto world time was counted, but
henceforth we count it by a different
reckoning.’(ibid., p.124-125).
The word 'world order'
above refers to the world of the 12 tribes. Only God's people
changed their calendar to reflect the beginning of their new
nation, for their appointed festivals. Of course Moses
was a type of the new lawgiver, who is Christ. Most people today
believe as Saint Augustine did, that is that we are still
fulfilling the 6th 'world age' and have yet to enter the sabbath
rest of Christ. Apparently when Hebrews was written, the born again
body of Moses that had become the body of Christ had yet to fully
enter the sabbath rest in the promised-land of
Christ.
At Pentecost the born again
ones entered into the sabbath rest of the betrothal day but not yet
the sabbath rest of the marriage week. Pentecost day betrothal led
to the marriage week for God's people. I'm pretty sure the marriage
week begins and ends on a sabbath day too. Pentecost was on a
sabbath and the marriage was on a sabbath. Tabernacles was the week
of rejoicing in Yahwey's presence. It commemorates how God provided
for all their needs in the wilderness before they entered the
promised land marriage. From Tishri 15th - 22nd is also the birth
and 8th day circumcision of the messiah; representing the
final-human creation-week.

The SHABBATH OF
ELOHIM
So
awe, lest ever a pre-evangelism of entering his shabbath remains,
any of you think you fell behind. 2 For we
were evangelized exactly as they: but the word they heard benefited
them not, not being co-mingled with the trust by them who heard
it. 3 For we who
trust, enter shabbath; exactly as he said, As I oathed in my wrath,
if they enter my shabbath - : although the works became from the
foundation of the cosmos. Psalm 95:1 4 For
somewhere, about the seventh, he said thus: And the seventh day
Elohim shabbathized from all his works. 5 And again in
this, If they enter my shabbath - . 6 So since
it remains that some must enter therein - and they to whom it was
previously evangelized entered not in because of trustlessness
- 7 again, he
decrees a day, wording in David, Today, after so long a time -
exactly as it is said, Today whenever you hear his voice, harden
not your hearts. Psalm 95:7, 8 8 For if
Yah Shua had shabbathized them, than he had not ever after
have spoken about another day. Yah Shua, successor to
Mosheh 9 So a
shabbatism remains to the people of Elohim. 10 For whoever
enters his shabbath also shabbathizes from his own works - exactly
as Elohim from his. 11 So be
diligent to enter that shabbath, lest anyone fall in the same
example of trustlessness. 12 For the
word of Elohim is living and energized and sharper than any
double-mouthed sword, thoroughly penetrating to the parting of soul
and spirit and of the joints and marrow: and is a discerner of the
deliberation and mind of the heart. Isaiah 49:2 13 And there
is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all are naked
and exposed to the eyes of him with whom we word. Proverbs
15:11
THE SON, OUR MEGA
ARCHPRIEST
14 So
seeing that we have a mega archpriest who passed into the heavens -
Yah Shua the Son of Elohim, we empower our
profession. 15 For we have
no archpriest who cannot sympathize with our frailties; but was in
all points tested according to our likeness - apart from
sin. Hosea 11:8 16 So come
boldly to the throne of charism, to take mercy and find charism to
opportunely help.
