Shalom in the name of Yeshua Mashiyach, the savior and nourisher of his own body. May the Elohiym of all souls bless you and set
before you an open door which no man can close. The purpose of this letter is to share with you some thoughts concerning a subject which you are
certainly accustom to meditating and praying about. The subject is the law of Moses verses the everlasting covenant, or in other words, the
everlasting gospel. Being just a babe in Mashiyach, there is no doubt that I could not pretend to instruct you in matters which you are well exercised
in. But, I beseech you as my elders in Mashiyach, that you would condescend to a man of low estate, and consider the thoughts of a babe on this
matter; remembering also the words of Adonanu, who said, “I thank thee, O Father, Adon of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things
from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.” (Matthew 11:25). By the grace of Yeshua, I do not wish to come to you with this
matter in the spirit of contention, but with the love of Mashiyach, knowing that you have gone before me, having endured the burden and heat of the
day. Having heard many various interpretations on this subject, I feel that it would be a mistake to take a dogmatic approach to this subject, which
reminds me of a quote I tend to agree with, “The greater the dogmatism, the greater the ignorance.” I believe the Holy Spirit has quickened me to
some things regarding this subject, but this does not mean that I am not willing to change, or even, forsake most of what I hold to be true with respect
to this issue. Because of the great depth of this subject, it seems necessary to go into great detail, appealing to numerous passages out of both
testaments. Not that I consider myself of the same stature as Timothy, but Paul gave him this instruction, “make full proof of thy ministry,” (II
Timothy 4:5) which I intend to do here. As a result, what is to follow may be lengthy and a bit tedious, but I etreet you that you would give it as
much attention as you can. My prayer and earnest desire is that some good, and some edification could come forth of this labor.
The central theme of this paper is the everlasting covenant Elohiym made with Abraham, which covenant I believe those of Abraham’s
faith have also entered into, regardless of whether they lived before or after him. Therefore, if this work should receive a title, I would call it “The
Everlasting Covenant.” Thank you for your willingness to consider my thoughts about this matter; may Elohiym bless you with an everlasting
blessing!
Our Inheritance
In Romans 4:13 the apostle Paul says, “For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to
his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.” How is it that Paul can say it was promised to Abraham and his
seed to inherit the world? Where in the Old Testament is this promise found? Consider Genesis 22:17, in which Elohiym makes this
promise to Abraham, “That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as
the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies.” (see also Genesis 24:60; 27:29) Again, Paul
shows us who the heirs of the world are, saying, “And if ye be Mashiyach’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the
promise.” (Galatians 3:29) So it is the true believers, the christians in truth, that will inherit the gate of their enemies, those that hate
them. But who are the enemies of the christians? Is not the world the enemy of Elohiym, and all those called by his name? Yeshua
said, “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the
world, therefore the world hateth you.” (John 15:19; see also James 4:4) So then, it is true that we shall inherit the earth, if we are
found according to Yeshua’s word, who said, “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.” (Matthew 5:5; Psalm 37:11)
Truly the gates of our enemies are spread all over the earth, as Isaiah said, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the
morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! … Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity
of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. For I will rise up against them,
saith Yahveh of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith Yahveh.” (Isaiah 14:12,21,22)
Though this may sound already to be a great inheritance, in truth, it is but a small fraction of what awaits the faithful saints, as the
apostle Paul told us, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which Elohiym hath
prepared for them that love him.” (I Corinthians 2:9)
Thank you for considering my thoughts on these matters.
