The Jewish Passover & Why it’s Meant for the Whole World

@ROliverLuce | 04-18-17

Here’s a question! What do you think “Passover” means? Yes, the first PASSOVER was about saving the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. It’s about how Adonai delivered the Israelites. It’s about the death of every living first born of every human family. However, it’s MORE than just that!

It’s about God slowly & progressively revealing His gracious love for ALL of the Humanity! It’s also about Adonai gradually moving the Hebrews into action in reaching out with the Word of God to the nations of the Earth about God’s eternal plan of hope and salvation from man’s dilemma of error and ruin. Even with each country’s creation and version of law they established, sin came anyway. Sin is the result of knowing a culture’s laws and breaking them at any rate! No matter what is set (laws) each nation experienced sin in greater and great measure. The increase in sin was also Israel’s problem as well with Adonai’s laws because of their willful disobedience to God’s law of graciousness and His love!

Thus Man’s only hope and salvation is through God’s Covenant with man/woman. God loves all and wants everyone to accept His gracious love when they choose rightly. God first loved us, and He shows His love FIRST that we might choose His graciousness that brings hope! This knowledge is given to the Jews that they might learn His ways and go out and cover the Earth and the seas with the knowledge of His law of graciousness and love that God was progressively giving to them!

In explaining how Passover and Covenant are related, I want to bring up scripture to point this out just what that connection is!

Without Passover, there is no Covenant.

The following scripture in a summary will show the progressive revelation of God’s Covenant and the Passover that will seal the deal on His Covenant of Salvation!

Genesis 3:14, 15 Regarding the Serpent; God will put enmity between the Serpent and the woman, and between the Serpent’s seed and her seed, and we know that women naturally do not produce seed as men do. [TOL, pg08] *[1]

Genesis 15:17, 18 God shows Abraham His Covenant through a dream with the promise of land for his and his seed’s inheritance. [TOL, pg22]

Genesis 17:1-19 God now makes His Covenant with Abraham and promises to confirm it with a son through Abraham’s wife! [We can take this as a type and shadow of the Messiah (God) confirming and sealing the deal on His own Covenant He has made with Abraham, and with Israel, and everyone whosoever will accept God’s graciousness into their lives! We are Abraham’s seed by decree from Adonai! [TOL, pg24]

Finally, with Adonai’s Covenant, there can be a hope and a future for all of  mankind; For everyone! Thus the resulting in a great outreach to the nations with this fantastic hope and a future for all the nations beginning with Israel.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans that I have in mind for you,” declares Adonai, “plans for shalom (peace) and not calamity—to give you a future and a hope.” [TOL, pg546]

Israel! God’s Witnesses to the Nations!

That all nations might be saved through obedience to His law of graciousness and love that is common to the various nations and cultures of the Earth! The Hebraic vision, that Adonai has given, will do this!

A simple example of Israel’s mission in teaching the Word of Life to the nations!

And here’s an example how Israel acts in wisdom by hearing the Word of God in every circumstance in life! To even teach the Word of the living graciousness of God!

1Chronicles 12:33(32) from the sons of Issachar—men who know how to interpret the signs of the times to determine what Israel should do! [TOL, pg982]

A simple example of why Israel was chosen by Adonai to reach out to the nations!

Deuteronomy 7:5-7(6-8) Adonai did not choose Israel because of their size or greatness in the Earth but because they were the least of all. As He showed His love towards Israel there was always a remnant that responded! [TOL, pg213]

Israel is to be Adonai’s Servant Nation to the nations!

Isaiah 43:8 – 13 Israel is my witnesses to the ends of the Earth!
“Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.” ~Isaiah 43:10 [TOL, pg486]

Therefore, whatever Passover means to Israel must also mean hope and salvation to the nations as well!

Genesis 12:3 Adonai shall bless those who bless you, but will curse those who curse you, Israel. For in you, Israel, all the families of the Earth SHALL BE BLESSED! [TOL, pg18]

Exodus 19:4 – 6 Jews becoming kings and priests for Adonai that they may teach the nations the way of peace through the only God, Adonai who is the god of wisdom and hope. [TOL, pg93]

Concluding!

Thus the Jewish Passover was and is meant for the Whole World, but this does not mean Jewish culture and certain ‘added protective’ Mosaic laws are meant for the other nations, except how to accept God’s LAW of graciousness within the context of their cultures.

{Revised} Salvation Through The Torah & The Living Word For The Jews First & The Gentile

Salvation Through The Torah; The Living Word; For Those Who Are Still Seeking the Truth!

~@ROliverLuce | 03-23-17 [Revised]

Introduction

.
I am responding to certain Facebook questions & entries regarding “exposing missionaries,” how we (both Jews & Gentiles who love Adonai) are ALL missionaries, and how Jews are saved from their daily sins through requirements that are possible only from Adonai’s power of His love. And I will go into detail what I am talking about! Questions and responses are welcome.

.
{Revised} Salvation Through The Torah & The Living Word & For Those Who Are Still Seeking the Truth!

.
Why “expose missionaries?” I will first say many Christian groups do NOT know God as their complete wisdom (not the wisdom without Torah). Thus many do not depend on and go to Adonai for ‘wisdom’ that leads to reaching people wisely (with a pure heart) FOR the TRUTH without pushing nor lording it over people! Instead, many Christian or Messianic Jewish missionaries offend the Jews without listening to Adonai’s voice.

But it’s also true that the ‘heavenly Torah’ [the living Word, from the mouth of Adonai] may be convicting Jews as well. So let us be honest and be content that we know Adonai intimately through the Word and earnest prayer. We’re all sinners. There is a God of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob that does judge and discern for which cause there will be a judgment in the end.

We can be confident of what it says in Romans chapter two and in the book of the “Tanakh” that if we are genuine seekers of the Truth, in word and deed, Adonai is the AUTHOR and we will discover that He is the Author! BUT, I say this only to PROVE that those who are blind (do not know) to what Adonai has made known (Torah) and to who is the author of the TRUTH, will NOT have this confidence in seeking the truth for their life.
The Jews have Adonai’s written Torah for their salvation. If they rely on Adonai’s love and grace for empowerment in keeping the Torah, they do well and will have the confidence! Because with Adonai’s forgiveness their consciences are cleared even as they are still waiting for THE MESSIAH to fulfill all things in the Torah. However, when a Jew realizes the Messiah, HE must compel himself to accept Adonai’s Word into his own heart as an act of circumcision of his heart! As for many Gentiles, many do give up and embrace their sins and fail to do what is right because of their lack of confidence!

For this cause we are missionaries to the NATIONS; all of us, the Jews first and the Gentiles who embrace the author of the TRUTH, the Messiah who covers our sins through the Covenant of Adonai as we can visualize from Genesis 15:17 {CJB version}. In this passage is where Adonai and His Spirit of Love pass through the two pieces of flesh that represent Adonai’s WORD of promise (the Truth)!

To reiterate about those who are seeking the truth without the realization of knowing the Torah and the Messiah, allow me to explain in closing. The Jews are saved from their sin condition through the Torah and what it means to follow the Torah for salvation. It would mean to know that the Torah can only be kept through continually accepting Adonai’s unconditional graciousness and forgiveness of sins daily. Thus repentance of sin is crucial to Adonai’s forgiveness when their conscience comes to a realization of [a] sin, but not false guilt.

Reasons for Condemning Islam and not Netanyahu

~@ROliverLuce | 10-25-15

{Palestinians (Muslims) must return to Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, & Saudi Arabia.}

A 1,400-year ongoing Islamic History tells us Islam has always been insanely obsessed with murdering Jews worldwide. Why would the Mufti of Jerusalem THEN visit the innocent Hitler?

Whether or not Hitler had the initial idea of snuffing out the European Jews, the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini himself had good reasons to visit Hitler. Visiting Hitler was not about small matters and I dare say it was just about ensuring the murder of the European Jews.

We are discussing all of this for the aim of outlawing Islam, and it’s three evil unholy books, are we not?

In being honest, we all can agree the Palestinian people are not! They were all, in fact, Muslims from various countries of the likes of Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, and others.

Those who hate the truth will be given a delusion. Truth is a Person

~ROliverLuce | 04-01-15

The God who spoke the worlds into existence allows delusion into the hearts of men & women who hate truth, but instead embrace their own likeness of the truth

Various people who instead of seeking the truth become foolish & were allowed to be given a delusion instead for judgment for their wilfull disobedience against the truth!
For Truth is a Person who is the living Word of God, Yeshua the Son of the LIVING GOD who spoke the WORLDS into exsistence by the HIS living WORD the Messiah Yeshua the Christ (the charsmatic one)!

Romans 1:21-25 {NASB}

(21) For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
(22) Professing to be wise, they became fools,
(23) and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
(24) Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.
(25) For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

A Metaphor to Understanding God’s Purpose for Mankind that is Primarily Detailed in Revelation

~ROliverLuce | 03-29-15

There are two God given metaphors that give meaning and describe the structure of God’s view and plans from the Torah, the various books in the Tanakh (O.T.) and the book of Revelation.  Two metaphors that opens up the understanding of the book of Revelation! **

(I.) The first metaphor.
The betrothal/marriage covenant which depicts God’s concept of how HE thinks about us within HIS all encompassing Covenant of Salvation found in Genesis 15:17 for example.

[A.] “The first five books of the Bible mirror the ancient Hebrew Ketubah, or the marriage contract.”

[B.] Study the Hebrew roots of the scripture to understand the symbolism.

[C.] “Through the betrothal covenant, HE intends to remarry HIS people, who divorced HIM in the Garden of Eden.” (He has put the marriage contract in force at the beginning. However, HE had to provide a way to fulfill the covenant, which is where HIS living Word (Yeshua) played a crucial part.)

[D.] As events build to the coming of Jesus:
1. God speaks and communicates again and again of the pure relationship between the bride and the groom.
2. Speaking and communicating of harmonious interactions between husband and wife.
3. Speaking of the details of a ritual of marriage and of bearing children and to bequeathing a good and honorable inheritance which does include rewards building up naturally as a result from relationship.

(II.) The second metaphor is God’s sacred Menorah.
The symbol God designed that actually comes into it’s own because it organizes the framework of chapters and verses in Revelation. And this symbol depicts the structure of the Apostle John’s vision where these chapters and verses hang on for understanding! This God given metaphor is about structure that shows HIS plan for restoring HIS bride to Himself!

The Menorah does show us how God organizes the book of Revelation and much of the prophetic and historical scripture contained in the Tanakh (the Old Testament) supports John’s vision in Revelation it’s self.

Old Testament Passages Explained for Godless Gainsayers and The Ignorant

~@ROliverLuce | 03-18-15

The Law of Talion of ancient Babylonian times prevailed in the setting up of Jewish Law with their limited but growing awareness of their God who created even them, the Jewish people; Knowing the Creator was and still is a growing experience as it is with people growing fond of each other:

Talion, Latin lex talionis, principle developed in early Babylonian law and present in both biblical and early Roman law that criminals should receive as punishment precisely those injuries and damages they had inflicted upon their victims**.

Deut. 25:11,12: The genitals of a man was considered critical for a or any family name and any Jewish woman knew exactly thus and why it would be consider worthy for her to assist in many other ways. It also can be considered that only a woman of ill repute would do something that she should not do even for an apparent assistance.

Therefore it was considered that any threats to reproduction was to be protected no matter and all were to refrain from using it as a means of their own self defense.

After all there has always been rules of engagement down through the centuries when two parties or countries were at war with each other. So consider this not strange!

Yom Kippur and Genesis 15:17

Yom Kippur: It’s central themes were and ARE atonement and repentance.
~R.OliverLuce | 10-05-14

Prior to Yom Kippur God made a deal with the first Jew, namely Abraham (whom you might even call the first Christian if you will, looking forward to the coming savior) regarding atonement & repentance.

God made a deal with Abram, who became Abraham, with HIS Covenant of salvation by God the Father and the “Spirit of Truth” (H.S.) passing through the pieces of the sacrifice on the alter, that would and does take away Abram’s sins (and ours!). If Abraham believed and accepted God’s “Word of Promise” (Jesus the Christ) regarding this covenant God made with him He would have a hope and a future. And we know that Abraham did so, and walked with God by trust.

So we can say Jesus was the pieces of flesh on that alter God used to pass through with His very own SPIRIT OF TRUTH which is the Holy Spirit (Gen.15:17). And as we all know today, Jesus came at the right time and died on a stake to seal that deal to show the world of God’s Word is trustworthy!! God’s covenant covers our sin. Nothing else will do.

Reference:
According to Jewish tradition, God inscribes each person’s fate for the coming year into a book, the Book of Life, on Rosh Hashanah, and waits until Yom Kippur to “seal” the verdict.

Confusion in Israel Slowly Brought on by U.S. Leaders Capitulating to Islamic Tyranny

An attack on Israeli army post by right-wing Jewish settlers brings fear of a new threat? Yes, confusion brought on by the evil United States of America. Our leaders have slowly but surely brought this on by their slow attempt at appeasing Islam through the giving of land away to the Middle East Islamics who are at war with the entire world whether we believe it or NOT! Remember as Islam advances worldwide to dominate the earth, YOUR creator is busy EATING Islam from behind through miracles, visions, healings, and salvation (in God’s love, Jesus) from the demonic hold of Islam. Millions of people are disillusioned with Islam to say the least!

 

The attack on the Israeli Army post as a surprise to Israelis** everywhere really shouldn’t be a huge surprise. After all, the Israelis’ own government for years now have been caving to the Americans idea of what peace might be and being shoved around to accommodate the Muslims in the Middle East who are hell bent on destroying Israel and every living Jew on the earth using the Palestinians as pawns.

 

The U.S. has done well in assisting and giving military and other support to help and protect Israel’s right to exist. But this must NOT come at the expense of FORCING laws, in making housing illegal for the Jews in the West bank when originally they were given the land by the Brits. Even so, it’s their land by historical facts not just from a biblical document point of view but from all the activities since the 1940’s and even further back than that as modern history does prove.

 

Palestinians were never a people group UNTIL the war for Jewish independence when the Jews had to beat back the Islamic nations surrounding them began initiating a war to shove them into the sea. It was the Islamic nations that SHOUTED for the Palestinian Muslims, Christians, etc. in the area to get out before those nations attacked! It’s the Islamic nations that refused to help the so-called Palestinians from day one until now. They are simply pawns in a long war to gainsay and push all Jews out of what they call as their land. Their land only because once a Muslim touches anyone’s land, it becomes theirs in time either through out birthing the population or through terror and war. It’s in their wicked Quran. It’s evil as to why I dare call it WICKED.
