The Eternal High Priest:
His Sinless Nature: Due to the sinless nature of the Messiah his Seal of Salvation is unbreakable. Those who are believers in the Messiah are blessed to possess the unbreakable seal of the true high priest. We are delivered from sin unto righteousness by God’s grace through our faith in Messiah and not by our own works.
Only One is perfect in all of God’s Torah: This means no person other than Messiah will ever be recognized by the Almighty as being perfectly righteous in all his thoughts and deeds. By our humbly putting our faith in Adonai’s Son, the Messiah, our sins are permanently removed and replaced with the righteousness of the Holy One through our receiving the Gift of His Spirit.
Messiah is the only One born out of Eternity into Creation:
The heavenly Messiah: The heavenly Messiah pre-existed creation. Avinu Shebashamayim manifested His Spirit out of eternity that He might walk among us as a human being.
Our Kinsman Redeemer: The Son is the only One born out of eternity into creation. This was necessary because fallen man was in need of a Savior, a “kinsman redeemer.” This is because every person from Adam on has sinned and come short of the glory of the Holy One.
A Perfect Man was required: The Savior of All had to be a perfect man. The High Priest forever had to be human.The Redeemer could not lawfully be an angel or Adonai (who is Spirit and not a man). So the solution for Adonai was to make a sinless, perfect new Adam out of the old sinful, imperfect race of Adam.
Adonai is our Salvation: Therefore, the God of the Beginning is our Salvation (ה’ הוא ישועתנו) because He provided us a new (second) Adam ben Ha-Elohim who was indwelt with all of the perfect virtue of the Holy One. This Divine intervention was necessary for there was no human being who had or could live up to the Divine standard of the righteousness of the Holy One. Not even Moses!
Born out of Eternity into Creation: Messiah came out of eternity into this fallen, broken creation to deliver the children of the heavenly Father from sin, so that he might one day “exodus” His redeemed family out of this fallen creation into a (new) “eternal dwelling” that would be filled only with the perfect righteousness of Adonai.
Returning back to God’s Perfect Creation: The word new in new creation is used because the perfect creation yet to come for us is now only “new” to us. The truth is it is not new to God or the heavenly Messiah. The fact is from God’s point of view we are “going back” (returning) to God’s perfect creation.
Two Creations and a Time Paradox: Read and meditate on Genesis 2:3. Regarding the time paradox that exists in Bereshit (the beginning) and Sefer Hitgallut (the end) read sections 5-9 of the corporate miracle account of the “Healing of many in Gennesaret.”
The number 12 represents God’s organizational perfection: Especially pay attention to the section (nine) just cited. Note this: the mathematical construction of two eternal creations existing side-by-side (2T-Physics) in two completely different realities one perfect without sin and death (no entropy) and one imperfect wdeathith sin and (with entropy).
Return back to God’s Perfect Creation:
“Be Shelamim as our Father is Shalem”: The Spirit of Adonai birthed Himself out of eternity into creation so that He might tabernacle–dwell together, as if living together in a common tent–with humanity in human form. He did this not just to deal forensically with man’s transgressions or to purge the world of the evil impulse.
The “Father of Lights”: Avi Ha’Orot tented Himself with humanity because of His incredible love for all of humankind. The heavenly Father sent His Beloved Son into the world because He wants His children to grow up, be transformed, and one day become morally and spiritually perfect as He is. Therefore, when redeemed humanity is finally perfected, resurrected, glorified then the children of the Holy One will follow the Messiah ben David back into eternity to dwell in perfect union (His rest) with Adonai our Father.
Exodus out of this Imperfect Creation:
We will know Him as we are known: Then we will know (experience) God as He already knows and experiences us; with perfect purity and love. This is why Or Ha’Olam left heaven above and entered into the womb of the Jewess Miryam’s womb. Our God did this so we might be redeemed and transformed into His likeness as His glorified children.
The Father of Glory: One day Avi HaKavod shall bring many of His “sons to glory.” These are the spirits of righteous ones made perfect (אֶל־רוּחוֹת הַצַּדִּיקִים הַנִּשְׁלָמִים). These resurrected ones will be immortal, invincible, and incorruptible. If you believe–this includes you.
מסיבה זו אנו מתפללים עבורכם כְּדֵי שֶׁאֱלֹהֵי אֲדוֹנֵנוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ, אֲבִי הַכָּבוֹד, יִתֵּן לָכֶם רוּחַ שֶׁל חָכְמָה וְהִתְגַּלּוּת, שֶׁתֵּיטִיבוּ לָדַעַת אוֹתוֹ, וְיָאִיר עֵינֵי לְבַבְכֶם לָדַעַת מַהִי הַתִּקְוָה הַצְּפוּנָה בִּקְרִיאָתוֹ, מָה עֹשֶׁר כְּבוֹד נַחֲלָתוֹ בְּקֶרֶב הַקְּדוֹשִׁים, וּמָה נַעֲלָה גְּדֻלַּת גְּבוּרָתוֹ הַשּׁוֹפַעַת עָלֵינוּ, הַמַּאֲמִינִים, כְּמִדַּת פֺּעַל כֺּחוֹ הֶעָצוּם אֲשֶׁר פָּעַל בַּמָּשִׁיחַ; כַּאֲשֶׁר הֵקִים אוֹתוֹ מִבֵּין הַמֵּתִים וְהוֹשִׁיב אוֹתוֹ לִימִינוֹ בַּשָּׁמַיִם, מֵעַל לְכָל מֶמְשָׁלָה וְשִׁלְטוֹן, גְּבוּרָה וּמִשְׂרָה, וּמֵעַל כָּל שֵׁם נִקְרָא, לֹא בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה בִּלְבַד, אֶלָּא גַּם בָּעוֹלָם הַבָּא.פֺּ
For this reason, we pray for you that the “God of our master Yeshua the Messiah, the Father of Glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation, that you may know Him better, and that He may enlighten the eyes of your hearts to know the hope to which He has called you, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance among the holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty strength which He exerted in Messiah when He raised him from the dead and seated him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come.”
Hatekumah v’haChayim: The “Messiah is the Resurrection and Life,” he and His followers are the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep (died). The true followers of Messiah are those who have received the gift of the New Heart of the Spirit that never fails; the gift of the Father promised by the prophets. The Spirit of the Holy One was sent to us by God the Father through our heavenly Messiah on Shavuot to live and reign forever in our spirits. He is our Living Torah who gives us the gift of eternal life.
