Father Abraham believed in the Sacrifice of Messiah:

Father Abraham rejoiced in the Day of Messiah: By faith father Abraham saw the day of Messiah and he greatly rejoiced (שׂוּשׂ) in it and was full of joy (שָׂמַח). Our father Abraham was cleansed of his sin by his faith in the Word of Adonai. Not by his faith in his own righteous acts.

Balancing of the Scales Doctrine: Father Abraham did not cleanse himself by balancing the scales. This is a false doctrine: He left the idolatry of a pagan religion that already taught such a thing (the moon cult of Su’en; commonly designated as En-zu: meaning the “lord of wisdom.” The lie of the balancing of the scales doctrine, therefore, is a false teaching that has been around since before the time of the moon worshiper Nimrod (Hebrew נִמְרוֹדֿ; Arabic: an-Namrood النمرود).

Building a Tower to the heavens: The reaching to the heavens (שָׁמַיִם-derivation from singular שָׁמֶה, meaning “lofty”) through an ascending tower of self-effort (מִגְדַּל בָּבֶל‎‎) is a declaration of independence from and an act of rebellion against God. The rabbinical building of a tower to the heavens by way of human reasoning is a replacement theology of the justification by faith alone doctrine of father Abraham.

Ascension through social effort: This false teaching of ascension through social effort is a substitute for father Abraham’s doctrine of sole dependency upon Adonai. This false religion of ever-spiraling ascension through human attainment (absent of sole dependency upon God) is a product of our hidden motivation of pride.

The Spiraling Tower of Pride: Pride is the hidden motivation upon which all of the spiraling tower of the lofty (false) teachings of the evil one are built. Pride and arrogance are the chametz of the Prushim and of the Tannaim sages and their successors who rejected the Messiah ben Yosef who is the True Vine of Israel. Pride is self-evident in our failed obsessive-compulsive rabbinical delusional efforts to constantly attain to God’s level of righteousness through our own man-made religious and (secular) philosophical) systems of self-righteousness.

Faith in the Creator Alone: Proclaiming ourselves as righteous before God by our own works is heresy. It is a departure from the very “heart” of the teaching of father Abraham and his doctrine of salvation by faith. In the doctrine of faith in the Creator (not the creature) we proudly boast in the works of Adonai our Father; who is our one God and Father who is over all, through all and in all.

Justification by Faith in God’s Works Alone: In the doctrine of faith (in the Creator (not the creature) we humbly confess to Adonai our Father that we are not justified by our works. We confess the truth that we are law-breakers and that we are in need of His Salvation. In other words: We believe that the just must live by faith solely in the perfect righteous works of God our Creator; and not by the (imperfect) works of the creature (ourselves).

Turning our Hearts to the Fathers: Therefore, the balancing of the scales false doctrine is not at all sourced in the “hearts of the fathers” (לֵב־אָבוֹת֙. Our fathers (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph) believed in all of the promises of the Spirit of Holiness and as such their hearts are already turned to us. In truth our fathers have already turned their hearts to us for they have already transmitted God’s infallible truths (promises) directly to us through the Hebrew Scriptures (לֵב־אָבוֹת֙ עַל־בָּנִ֔ים-). In this way our fathers have turned their hearts toward our hearts—-the hearts of their physical and spiritual children. But this leads us to the challenge: When will we ever reciprocate?

An Insult and Provocation to the Face of God: When will we their children turn our hearts (back) to the original faith and teachings of our fathers and our prophets? Therefore, the false doctrine (false teaching) of the rabbinical balancing of the scales is sourced in the idolatry of the ancient moon cult teaching that the heart of our father Abraham already had completely rejected almost four millennia ago. The resurrection of this false teaching by the Bramble Bush King has been an insult and a provocation to (חָרַף) the Face of—-the Spirit of Grace (רוּחַ הַחֶסֶד).

וְהֶאֱמִ֖ן בַּֽ ה’ וַיַּחְשְׁבֶ֥הָ לּ֖וֹ צְדָקָֽה׃

“Then he believed in Adonai; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.”

Our Salvation is Sourced in God’s Righteousness: Unlike our ancient moon worshiping ancestors our faith, the faith of our father Abraham, is in no way sourced in our own righteousness (in ourselves). Our faith is only rooted and grounded in the loving-kindness (chesed) and graciousness (chen, chanan) of Adonai our Father.

Adonai’s Sacrifice for Our Sin: The truth is that without embracing our father Abraham’s faith in the sacrifice of Messiah ben Yosef that the Torah of Moses testifies to there is no  salvation (cleansing) of sin and the attainment to a righteous state for anyone; at any time—past, present, or future. At the time of Messiah’s teaching this meant that the eternally clean branches were those Jewish members of Israel who believed in the real sacrifice (korban Pesach) of Adonai and so it was and continues to be that those cleansed members (branches) of Israel will abide forever in the Presence of Abba Avinu and HaGefen Emet (the True Vine).

The Bramble Bush and his Curse of Fire:

Living under the Curses of the Law: The Bramble Bush King, not father Abraham, is the one that for the last two millennia has ruled over the people of Israel with his curse of fire. The Prushim (fake oral law of man) and their ultra-orthodox successors have taught all along that the purest branch of Judaism is the one that lives under the oppression of the curses of the Law (curses, Mount Ebal).

Living under the Blessings of the Law: The Jewish Emissaries (שליחים יהודים-Shlichim Yehudim) of the Messiah and their successors have taught all along that the purest branch of Judaism is the one that lives in freedom according to the blessedness of the loving-kindness (chesed) of Adonai  (blessings, Mount Gerizim; where our sins are permaently removed: “exterminated,” “cut off”).

Choose which Mountain you will live on: Those of us who have embraced the cleansing work on Mount Gerizim of the sacrificed one of Abba Avinu, who is the real King of Israel, abide forever in the HaGefen Emet. We will never experience the curses of being burned up on “Mount Baldy” (the literal meaning of Mount Ebal). This is so because those of us who believe in the once-in-eternity sacrifice of the Messiah are standing by faith on the Mountain of the Chesed of Adonai (Mount Gerizim; the Mountain of the Grace of Adonai).

Introduction to Mashal of the Bramble Bush King:

Abimelech ben Yerubba’al: What follows is the mashal of the “Bramble Bush King.” The name of the Bramble Bush King is Abimelech ben Yerubba’al (אֲבִימֶ֤לֶךְ בֶּן־יְרֻבַּ֙עַל֙). This particular mashal from the Tanakh is a prophecy from the ancient times of the Judges. This is a very far-sighted prophecy that speaks against the first century (CE) Prushim rabbinate and their six eras of successors.

Warning of the Prophets: It was foretold in the Tanakh by the ancient prophets of Israel that when the Messiah appeared in the Temple the priests and rabbis of his day would rise up and rebel against him. Then judgment would come. The priests were removed first (the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE). Then the rabbis—the false teachers who opposed and rejected the Messiah—immediately ascended to power to rule over “all” of the institutions of Israel (i.e. the “trees” of Israel) for an indefinite period of time (i .e. until the establishment of a secular-democratic state of Israel in 1948).

How the Bramble Bush became King: What allowed the (Illegitimate) Bramble Bush (Thorn Bush) to ascend to the royal status of a King over the people of Israel? The first century (CE) Prushim rabbinate rose to power by the violent removal of the True King of Israel (the Messiah) and by the displacement of the Jewish priesthood. The displacement of the priesthood occurred at the destruction of the Temple. This is what allowed the sons of the Prushim sect (branch of Rabbinic Judaism) to “take over” the rule of the hearts and minds of the people of Israel.

Covered in Legal Rules and Threats (Thorns): In the narrative of the mashal it is revealed that the Bramble Bush King (rabbinism) is an “illegitimate” son that succeeds for an indefinite period of time in becoming the ruler and Judge over all of the Trees (Institutions) of Israel. He has as his regal covering a long flowing robe that is made up solely out of a multitude of legal rules and threats (covered in thorns).

Power of the “Curse of Fire”: The Bramble Bush is covered with thorns (curses). The Bramble Bush (rabbinism) use to hold power over the people of Israel through our fear of his “curse of fire.” Except now (thanks be to the God of Chesed) in this 21st century hardly anyone of Jewish birth believes in or listens to him anymore.

The Conflagration of “Real Faith”: In fact, the oppressive false-religion of the Bramble Bush has succeeded in making  most of the people (Am Israel) completely disinterested in practicing any religion. In fact over the last two millennia the rule of the Bramble Bush KIng has been such a colossal failure that a majority of our Jewish brothers and sisters (around the world) are either agnostics or atheists.

Faith has been replaced by a “Search for Truth”: Yet, in spite of our antipathy toward religion (Modern Israel) our Jewish soul can’t help but obsessively search for truth anyway. Am Israel is still “secretly” searching for God. We are searching for Truth. We are just not looking for it any more in a religion of “thorns” and “curses.”

The problem is endless “Legal Debates”:

Abimelech ben Yerubba’al: Translates to “My father is king, son of he who contends with Baal” (or “son of Baal contends”). The following is a breakdown of the meaning of each part of the name.

A Gentile Royal Title: Historians and biblical scholars often point out that “Abimelech” likely served as a royal title for Philistine or Canaanite rulers rather than a personal name—much like how “Pharaoh” was used to address Egyptian rulers.

“Father of a King”: This name Abimelech is composed of two words: Ab  (אָב): Meaning “father” and melech (מֶלֶךְ) meaning “king.” Combined it translates to “My father is king” or “Father of a king.”  In context this is highly ironic and symbolic as Abimilech’s biological father Gideon refused to be made king; stating only that Adonai was King. So in context the prophetic translation has to be “Father of a king.” This phrase is prophetic because the son in view here, in great contrast to his father, sees himself as being king.

“He who contends with Baal”: Yerubba’al / Jerubbaal (יְרֻבַּעַל) is an alternative name given to Abimelech’s father, Gideon. It is composed of three terms: Ben (בֶּן־) “son of,” Yarov (יָרֶב) meaning “to strive,” “to contend,” or “to plead,” and Baal (בַּעַל). Baal is the name of the pagan Canaanite storm god. It translates to “Let Baal contend against him” or “He who contends with Baal.” Gideon earned this nickname after he destroyed his father’s altar to Baal, and the townspeople said let Baal plead his own case if he is truly a god.

“The Legal Debate King”: The name of the false ruler Abimelech ben Yerubba’bel literally means, “Father of a king, son of he who contends with Baal.” In practical application the shorter more concise meaning of the Bramble Bush King’s name should be: “The Legal Debate King!” The big difference here is that the son Abimelech as king is contending against Baal in his own strength. Where the father Gideon (not king) contended in the strength of Adonai Melekh. Ironically because of the change in kingship by the son the meaning of the name of the father of the Bramble Bush, Yerubba’bel, no longer can mean a contender against Baal; as it should. The son’s kingship tragically means, unlike his righteous father, the son has become a “Contender for Baal.”

Playing into the Strengths of the “Accuser”: Why is this the case? Because if you argue justification before Adonai by your works, since all but one exception (the Messiah) is a sinner, you will always lose. Such a prideful, vain argument—you are the king—will always play into the strengths of the “Accuser of our brothers” (המאשים של אחינו); which is the indisputable fact that all of us have sinned and come short of the glory of Adonai Eloheinu. Therefore, none of us will ever be justified by our works because the high standard of God is for all of us to live a “perfect and blameless life.”

The Defense the Enemy wants to Hear: In other words, according to Torah, in the Proceedings of the Heavenly Court, the Accuser of the Yehudim is Satan (השטן הוא המקטרג של היהודים); and no matter how brilliant the Bramble Bush (rabbinic) arguments are for justification by one’s works—-these highly technical legal arguments will always fall short. Why? Because the defense argument of justification by the “balancing of scales” is always the argument that the enemy wants to hear. The prosecutor, the evil one, loves the balancing of the scales argument because he knows it is a lie. How does he know it is a lie? The Accuser of the brethren knows for certain the balancing of scales defense argument is a lie because he is the “inventor” of it.

The “Father of Lies”: The Accuser of the brethren (Yehudim, Jews) has been a liar and a murderer from the beginning. He is the “father of lies” (אֲבִי הַשֶּׁקֶר). The enemy created the legal invention of the ‘balancing of the scales’ defense so that he could deceive our people into believing in a false hope. The evil one knows that “Adonai {alone} is Perfect” (יותם-Yotam; Yah is תָם – (tam) perfectly innocent, honest, blameless) and he knows that we are not blameless. He also knows that the only way Adonai will ever cleanse us of our sins is if we confess our transgressions and believe—as did father Abraham—in the redemptive grace Adonai has provided us through His Messiah.

The “Bait and Switch” Tactic: So, what do we learn from these truths? We learn that the false teaching of the balancing of the scales is a favorite “bait and switch” tactic of the evil one. First, the Accuser offers to us (Israel) the false hope of his lie of the “balancing of the scales;” then at the last he reveals that these “scales” are just a fake device that he has shrewdly and effectively used to trick us; so that he might keep us away from the “real” redemption that is available to us only through our acceptance of our (Suffering) Messiah ben Yosef.

Mashal of the Bramble Bush King (Judges Nine):

וַיַּגִּדוּ לְיֹותָם וַיֵּלֶךְ וַֽיַּעֲמֹד בְּרֹאשׁ הַר־גְּרִזִים וַיִּשָּׂא קֹולֹו וַיִּקְרָא וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם שִׁמְעוּ אֵלַי בַּעֲלֵי שְׁכֶם וְיִשְׁמַע אֲלֵיכֶם אֱלֹהִֽים׃ הָלֹוךְ הָֽלְכוּ הָעֵצִים לִמְשֹׁחַ עֲלֵיהֶם מֶלֶךְ וַיֹּאמְרוּ לַזַּיִת מלוכה עָלֵֽינוּ׃ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הַזַּיִת הֶחֳדַלְתִּי אֶת־דִּשְׁנִי אֲשֶׁר־בִּי יְכַבְּדוּ אֱלֹהִים וַאֲנָשִׁים וְהָלַכְתִּי לָנוּעַ עַל־הָעֵצִֽים׃ וַיֹּאמְרוּ הָעֵצִים לַתְּאֵנָה לְכִי־אַתְּ מָלְכִי עָלֵֽינוּ׃ וַתֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הַתְּאֵנָה הֶחֳדַלְתִּי אֶת־מָתְקִי וְאֶת־תְּנוּבָתִי הַטֹּובָה וְהָלַכְתִּי לָנוּעַ עַל־הָעֵצִֽים׃ וַיֹּאמְרוּ הָעֵצִים לַגָּפֶן לְכִי־אַתְּ מלוכי עָלֵֽינוּ׃ וַתֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הַגֶּפֶן הֶחֳדַלְתִּי אֶת־תִּירֹושִׁי הַֽמְשַׂמֵּחַ אֱלֹהִים וַאֲנָשִׁים וְהָלַכְתִּי לָנוּעַ עַל־הָעֵצִֽים׃ וַיֹּאמְרוּ כָל־הָעֵצִים אֶל־הָאָטָד לֵךְ אַתָּה מְלָךְ־עָלֵֽינוּ׃ וַיֹּאמֶר הָאָטָד אֶל־הָעֵצִים אִם בֶּאֱמֶת אַתֶּם מֹשְׁחִים אֹתִי לְמֶלֶךְ עֲלֵיכֶם בֹּאוּ חֲסוּ בְצִלִּי וְאִם־אַיִן תֵּצֵא אֵשׁ מִן־הָאָטָד וְתֹאכַל אֶת־אַרְזֵי הַלְּבָנֹֽון׃

“Adonai is Perfect” (Yotam): Now when they told “Adonai is Perfect” (יוֹתָם-Yotam), he went and stood on the top of Cuttings Off (גְּרִזִּים-Gerizim), and lifted his voice and called out. Thus he said to them, ‘Listen to me My Master, Men of Governance (בַּעֲלֵי שְׁכֶם-Baali Shechem; literally the “owner of the shoulder”), that God may listen to you: Once the trees went forth to anoint a king over them, and they said to the Olive Tree, “Reign over us!” But the Olive Tree said to them, “Shall I leave my fatness with which God and men are honored, and go to wave over the trees?” Then the trees said to the Fig Tree, “You come, reign over us!” But the Fig Tree said to them, “Shall I leave my sweetness and my good fruit, and go to wave over the trees?” Then the trees said to the Grapevine, “You come, reign over us!” But the Grapevine said to them, ‘Shall I leave my new wine, which cheers God and men, and go to wave over the trees?’ Finally all the trees said to the Bramble Bush, “You come, reign over us!” The Bramble Bush (אָטָד-atad) said to the trees, “If in truth you are anointing me as king over you, come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, may fire come out from the Bramble Bush and consume the Cedars of Lebanon.”

There are four parts to this mashal of the Bramble Bush who would be king:

Olive Tree said, “No”: [1st Choice] Once the trees (הָעֵצִים) went forth to anoint a king over them, and they said to the Olive tree (זַּיִת), ‘Reign over us!’ (מלוכה עָלֵֽינוּ) But the Olive tree said to them, ‘Shall I leave my fatness (דִּשְׁנִי) with which the Almighty and men are honored (יְכַבְּדוּ), and go to wave over the trees?’

Fig Tree said, “No”: [2nd Choice] Then the trees said to the Fig tree (תְּאֵנָה), ‘You come, reign over us!’ (מָלְכִי עָלֵֽינוּ) But the fig tree said to them, ‘Shall I leave my sweetness (מָתְקִי) and my good fruit (תְּנוּבָתִי הַטֹּובָה), and go to wave over the trees?’

Grape Vine, said “No”: [3rd Choice] Then the trees said to the Vine (גָּפֶן ,גֶּפֶן), ‘You come, reign over us!’ (מלוכי עָלֵֽינוּ) But the vine said to them, ‘Shall I leave my New Wine (תִּירֹושִׁי), which is the joy (הַֽמְשַׂמֵּחַ) of the Almighty and men, and go to wave over the trees?’

Thorn Bush, said “Yes”: Finally all the trees said to the bramble (הָאָטָד-lit. the thorn bush), ‘You come, reign over us!’ (מְלָךְ־עָלֵֽינוּ). The bramble (הָאָטָד-lit. the “thorn” bush) said to the trees, ‘If in truth you are anointing me as king over you, come and take refuge in my shade; But if not, May [the curse of] fire come out from the bramble and consume the Cedars of Lebanon!”

Curse of the “Cedars of Lebanon”: The threat (curse) of the Bramble Bush king to consume in fire the Cedars of Lebanon is a future prophetic disclosure to future 1st century (CE) Israel and its institutions (Olive, Fig, and Vine) that if Israel ever rebels against the Bramble  Bush king and seeks to be ruled over by another Tree (authority) then he the Bramble Bush will envelope all the trees in a fiery judgment (his curse of fire).

Bramble Bush’s Identified Competition: The 1st century (CE) Shlichim of Messiah are the identified competition to the Bramble Bush King. You know in advance who the potential replacement (competition) is by his threat to destroy in “fire” curse the “Cedars of Lebanon.” No other tree is directly threatened. Who are the Cedars of Lebanon? Answer: the followers of the Messiah Yeshua ben Yosef ben David! The Cedars of Lebanon are a symbol of the the Messiah and by association his leading representative leaders, his emissaries (schlichim) and his followers (talmadim).

The “Cedars of Lebanon” were Cursed: The promise of the Bramble Bush king to destroy the Cedars of Lebanon prophetically and historically came true when the people of Israel began to follow the Messiah ben Yosef in the first century (CE). Thereafter, until the modern era, it has seemed at times as if the whole Jewish messianic movement had been utterly destroyed; that the Cedars of Lebanon had been completely burned down (cursed with fire) by the Prushim and their rabbinical successors. Only a very small Jewish remnant remained in Israel after the 1st and 2nd century curse of fire (purge).

The Besorat of the Schlichim of Messiah: Nevertheless, since the establishment of Modern Israel in 1948 we have seen a miraculous return of the Cedars of Lebanon—the followers of the heavenly Messiah ben Yosef ben David. Of these last day Jewish followers of the Messiah it is written:

הִנֵּה עַל־הֶהָרִים רַגְלֵי מְבַשֵּׂר מַשְׁמִיעַ שָׁלֹום חָגִּי יְהוּדָה חַגַּיִךְ שַׁלְּמִי נְדָרָיִךְ כִּי לֹא יֹוסִיף עֹוד לעבור־בָּכְ בְּלִיַּעַל כֻּלֹּה נִכְרָֽת׃

“Behold, on the mountains the feet of him (who brings Good News (מְבַשֵּׂר֙),
Who announces Shalom!
Celebrate your feasts, O Judah;
Pay your vows.
For never again will the worthless one (בְּלִיַּעַל-Beliya’al) pass through you;
He is cut off (נִכְרָֽת-nikrat) completely (כֻּלֹּ֥ה-kulo, the whole, all of this worthless one is completely “cut off”—-like completely cutting off an unfruitful branch on a fruitful vine). (Nahum-נַחוּם)

וְעָמְדוּ רַגְלָיו בַּיֹּום־הַהוּא עַל־הַר הַזֵּתִים אֲשֶׁר עַל־פְּנֵי יְרוּשָׁלִַם מִקֶּדֶם וְנִבְקַע הַר הַזֵּיתִים מֵֽחֶצְיֹו מִזְרָחָה וָיָמָּה גֵּיא גְּדֹולָה מְאֹד וּמָשׁ חֲצִי הָהָר צָפֹונָה וְחֶצְיֹו־נֶֽגְבָּה׃

“In that day his feet (Messiah) will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south” (Zechariah 14:4).

Living in the High Lands: The Cedars of Lebanon are found nowhere except upon the Syrian range of mountains 6,500 to 8,000 feet above the level of the Mediterranean Sea. Syria signifies the High Land. The Cedars of Lebanon are not found on the lowlands. The following twelve points are provided as a description of some of the virtues of the Cedars of Lebanon trees:

1,  Lebanon means the Mountain of Righteousness (Laban).
2.  The Cedars of Lebanon speak of a brilliant white color like the blinding direct light of the sun.
3. The Cedars of Lebanon also speak of the bright reflective light that is observed in a full moon.
4,  The Cedars of Lebanon provide excellent shelter from the powerful storms and violent winds that exist high up on the mountains.
5.  The Cedars of Lebanon trees are well rooted.
6.  The Cedars of Lebanon tree roots are so powerful that they penetrate deep into the rocks.
7.  The Cedars of Lebanon grow tall and sturdy high up in the mountains above the winter snow line.
8.  The Cedars of Lebanon wood provides the Mishkan (מִשְׁכַּן-residence, dwelling place of Adonai) an exquisite building product.
9.  The Cedars of Lebanon wood possesses an excellent aroma which is wonderfully resistant to insects.
10. The Tabernacle cannot exist without the exceptional structural strength and virtuous aroma of the Cedars of Lebanon.
11. If these trees were to permanently be destroyed the dwelling place of the Holy One would fall down.
12. Therefore, without the Cedars of Lebanon the dwelling place (spiritual house of Israel) would become “desolate.” The holy dwelling place would lose its strength, durability, aromatic virtue, and immunity to infestation.

The Errant Oral Law of the Bramble Bush:

The following iten statements of false-teaching are uniformly taught by the successors of the Prushim rabbinate—the Bramble Bush King. If you are not familiar with these doctrines of the Bramble Bush King just google search them and you will quickly discover that the orthodox rabbinate of the modern era (not the conservative and reformed rabbinates) actually believe:

1. “This oral tradition [of Rabbinic Judaism] is the basis of Adonai’s covenant with Israel. This [false-teaching that beats, kills, and treats as heresy the actual messianic meanings of the writings of the prophets] is even more precious to Adonai than the written Torah.”

2.  It is the foundation of rabbinic faith to believe that Adonai gave Moses an oral explanation of the Torah along with the written text.

3.  Thus the Prushim rabbinate and their successors speak of *Two Torahs. There is the Written Torah (Torah SheBiKetav) and the Oral Torah (Torah SheB’Al Peh).

4.  The rabbis believe *Two Torahs are alluded to in Adonai’s statement to Moses, “Come up to Me to the mountain, and I will give you… the Torah and the commandments” (Exodus 24:12). When Adonai revealed all the details of how the commandments should be observed to Moses while he was on Mount Sinai the rabbis also believe God revealed to Moses many interpretations and laws that would not be used until much later—during the Bramble Bush take-over. These mystery teachings, however, were not taught to the common people; these secrets were only revealed to the rabbinical sects.

*There is a Written and an Oral Torah. This is true. However, the Oral Torah is the actual indwelling Presence of the Spirit of the Holy One. Read next section: “The Infallible Oral Torah of the Spirit of the Holy One.”

5.  The Bramble Bush believes:  If the entire Torah would have been given in writing, everyone would be able to interpret it as he desired. This would lead to division and discord when the people would follow the Torah in different ways. The Oral Torah, on the other hand, would require a central authority to preserve it—the Bramble Bush King of course—thus assuring the unity of Israel.

6.  As far as the rabbis are concerned: “In many respects, the Oral Torah is more important than the Written Torah.”

7.  More ridiculous is the false belief that: “The Oral Torah is therefore the basis of Adonai Elohim’s covenant with Israel. It is even more dear to HaShem than the Written Torah.”

8.  Therefore, the Bramble Bush teaches: “The Oral Torah is the means through which we devote our lives to Adonai and His teachings” So forget studying the prophets and the Messiah’s teaching for yourself; only listen to the Bramble Bush!.

9.  It is prophetic that it is believed that Adonai taught Moses the written Torah by day and the Oral Torah by night (the Written Torah is a product of the Day; the Oral Torah of the Bramble Bush that has replaced the prophets and the Messiah is a product of the night).

10. This belief  in the traditions of men written by the Bramble Bush King and not the prophets or the Messiah, is presently preserved in the new “replacement bible,” the Talmud and the midrashim of the Bramble Bush.

The Infallible Oral Law of the Spirit of the Holy One:

All Israel will know Adonai: There is only one infallible, inerrant, perfect Oral Law and that is the infallible Oral Law of the Holy Spirit of Promise. Only when Israel returns to true faith in Adonai by believing on the Messiah ben Yosef ben David—who is also the heavenly Messiah—will the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of Revelation, and the Spirit of Wisdom return to Israel. Then supernaturally—without any help whatsoever of the Bramble Bush—every man, woman, and child of Israel will know Adonai and His true teaching. For it is written:

וְלֹא יְלַמְּדוּ עֹוד אִישׁ אֶת־רֵעֵהוּ וְאִישׁ אֶת־אָחִיו לֵאמֹר דְּעוּ אֶת־ה’ כִּֽי־כוּלָּם יֵדְעוּ אֹותִי לְמִקְטַנָּם וְעַד־גְּדֹולָם נְאֻם־ה’ כִּי אֶסְלַח לַֽעֲוֹנָם וּלְחַטָּאתָם לֹא אֶזְכָּר־עֹֽוד׃

“They will not teach again”: “They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know Adonai,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares Adonai, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” (Jeremiah 31:34)

וְנָתַתִּי לָכֶם לֵב חָדָשׁ וְרוּחַ חֲדָשָׁה אֶתֵּן בְּקִרְבְּכֶם וַהֲסִרֹתִי אֶת־לֵב הָאֶבֶן מִבְּשַׂרְכֶם וְנָתַתִּי לָכֶם לֵב בָּשָֽׂר׃

“A new Spirit within you”: “Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” (Ezekiel 36:26)

וְיָשְׁבוּ אִישׁ תַּחַת גַּפְנֹו וְתַחַת תְּאֵנָתֹו וְאֵין מַחֲרִיד כִּי־פִי ה’ צְבָאֹות דִּבֵּֽר׃

“Each of them will sit under his vine,
And under his fig tree,
With no one to make them afraid,
For the mouth of Adonai Tseva’ot has spoken.” (Micah 4:4)

The following are ten statements of inerrant belief that are uniformly communicated by the prophets of Israel, taught by the Messiah, and born witness to by the Spirit of the Holy One:

1.  The Holy Spirit enabled the prophets and special envoys of Israel to speak and act on His behalf.

2.  The prophets of the Tanakh foretold an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that would usher in the future Kingdom of Adonai (1, 2, 3).

3.  After his ascension into heaven at the right hand of the Father, on the Father’s behalf, the heavenly Messiah sent the Spirit of Holy One (the Gift of the Father-מַתְּנַת רוּחַ הַקּׂדֶש) to indwell (inside) every believer.

4.  Better than Moses’ ascension up Mount Sinai, the Messiah’s glorified post-resurrection ascension into heaven (on the 40^th day of HaBikkurim) secured for believers the Indwelling Presence of the Gift of the Holy Spirit.

5.  Better than Moses’ bringing down from the mountain the Written Law (Torah) engraved on stones is the Holy Spirit descending from heaven to permanently and irreversibly Indwell our hearts (i.e. be engraved upon our hearts) .

6.  The Holy Spirit indwelling our hearts is “Living Torah.” The “Torah of the Spirit” is supernatural, infallible, and All-Powerful. (In great contrast to the oral law of the rabbis which is natural, errant, and powerless.)

7.  The Written Torah of the Tanakh and the Living Torah of the Spirit bear witness only to the heavenly Messiah ben Yosef ben David. Not the rabbis.

8.  There are over six hundred prophecies in the Tanakh about the Messiah ruling Israel on Adonai’s behalf (300 were fulfilled in his first coming as the Suffering Messiah ben Josef; 300 more will be fulfill ed at his second coming as the Conquering Messiah ben David). There is not even one positive prophecy in all of the Tanakh (the Written Torah) that bears witness to the rabbis ruling Israel on Adonai’s behalf. (However, there are several scriptures that depict the rabbis as false: teachers, prophets, priests, and kings; cf. the mashal of the Bramble Bush king).

9.  The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Grace, the Spirit of Truth is supernaturally active in inspiring and empowering the children of Israel for ministry (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).

10. It is the Spirit Himself who is the Greater Torah. He is Greater than the Written Torah. He is the Divine Oral Law written on all of the hearts of those Yehudim who believe in the Torah of the Heart (cf. Isaiah 51:7). The Messiah ben Yosef bears witness to the Spirit being our Living Torah when He says:

אֲבָל הַמְנַחֵם, רוּחַ הַקֺּדֶשׁ שֶׁהָאָב יִשְׁלַח לָכֶם בִּשְׁמִי, הוּא יְלַמֵּד אֶתְכֶם הַכֺּל וְיַזְכִּיר לָכֶם כָּל מַה שֶּׁאֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי לָכֶם.פ

“But the Helper (הַמְנַחֵם), Spirit of the Holy One (רוּחַ הַקֺּדֶשׁ), whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.”

All led guided by the Spirit of the Holy One: Therefore, it is a true saying that no man shall teach us, for each of us shall be led and guided by the Spirit of the Holy One (ה’רֽוּחַ־); our unity will occur supernaturally by the fruitful work of God Himself personally leading and guiding each and every one of us; and not through the futile efforts of the rabbis of the traditions of men.

NEXT, MESSIAH IN SHEMINI ATZERET AND SIMCHAT TORAH…
