Since
the dawn of time men have decided to
theorize about their own existence and
purpose, and men have decided their own
fate in this regard. Even given
the fact that we exist, and that we
never created ourselves, men still
fatally conclude that he is his own god.
Why? This is a far bigger question
than the standard, why do we exist?
The question really is why does mankind
pervert his own existence in the
Universe? Who doubts their own
existence? Who of us gave
ourselves the right to life? So
then why can't most people live their
lives unto YHWH?
Herein is the answer.
Netzer is a very interesting Hebrew word
which means sprout, even the very first
bit of green life that makes it's way
out of the soil is a Netzer. The
Netzer is the symbol which YHWH uses to
express Himself within the souls in the
Malchut Elohim (Kingdom of the Mighty
Ones). We are the target group, we
are the ones, you and I are given this
revelation about why YHWH gave life and
existence to mankind and the universe.
Certainly there are many ideas and
theories, but there is only one correct
answer to why, and that answer can only
be supplied by YHWH who gave Life.
Life is created "in the image of
Elohim", when the Master paints a
sunset, He puts His heart into it, when
He paints a blue sky or dots of galaxies
in the heavens it is all according to
His will, nothing is lost, nothing is
redundant. The greatness of YHWH
is that he gave every one of us choice
and though many choose to mock the giver
of life, there are those who are
captivated and breathless at His Majesty
and Power. YHWH says that He
breathed life into us and that we are
made in His image.
that's why
that is why... not how
When Mashiyach came and walked among us
we came to understand the hope within
us, we came to see that the Son Yeshua
was in the Father, and the Father is in
the Son, these are One (not three gods
like the pagans teach). Then we
came to learn of Mashiyach in us, the
hope of glory, and through this we began
to see the Mind of Mashiyach in Torah.
The Torah is the Will of YHWH who came
in the flesh and dwelt among us and we
beheld him. We beheld him means He
lives inside of us and that we know that
we know Him, the dance of the blind and
deaf man rages around us but we have
eyes to see and ears to hear the Voice
of living Elohim, inside. It's
never been a matter of why, but always a
matter of being, and the path to "being"
consists of humble service to the
Master. To the proud He gives
contention and strife, but to the humble
He gives Grace. That is why many
people will sadly go to their graves
never knowing why, because they choose
not to "be", only to eek out an
existence.
That is why the riches of the poor man,
are rarely afforded by the wealthy.
New Life is revealed according to righteous
character attributes of the Netzer, who
is Yeshua Mashiyach and His people.
Avraham, Moshe and David were all "IN
MASHIYACH" but those who espouse to be
great orators and teachers of "the
Faith" are oftentimes the enemies of
Mashiyach and His people. Avraham
had a vision of "the Word of YHWH",
which is Mashiyach, Moshe spoke face to
face with Mashiyach and David saw
Mashiyach, the right had of YHWH, but a
lot of religious people talk
"about" YHWH not with Him. Most
religious people have a religious
relationship with YHWH, often very
impersonal, and often very intolerant of
competing religious propaganda according
to their own social clubs policies and
procedures.
A very basic "acid test" of whether one
is walking in Messiah consciousness or
religion is to meditate on the character
of Mashiyach as revealed in the Menorah
(seven branched oil lamp).

Isaiah 11:2-5
And the
spirit of
YHWH shall rest upon him,
the spirit of
wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of
counsel and might,
the spirit of
knowledge and of the fear of YHWH;
And shall make him of quick
understanding in the fear of YHWH:
and he shall not judge after the sight
of his eyes, neither reprove after the
hearing of his ears:
But
with
righteousness shall he judge the poor,
and reprove with equity for the meek of
the earth: and he shall smite the earth
with the rod of his mouth, and with the
breath of his lips shall he slay the
wicked.
And
righteousness shall be the girdle of his
loins, and faithfulness the girdle of
his reins. |
HaMashiyach Yeshua perfectly demonstrated these 7 attributes:
|
1) Spirit of YHWH
2) Wisdom
3) Understanding
4) Counsel
5) Might
6) Knowledge
7) Fear of YHWH |

"And there
shall come forth a rod out of the stem
of Jesse,
and a Netzer (Sprout) shall grow out of
his roots:"
Isaiah 11:1
Yeshua Mashiyach
and the Malchut Elohim is the
prophetic Netzer
(Sprout) which grew out of the Root of Ye'shai (Jesse), these
Seven
Attributes signify the Character and Calling of
HaMashiyach and His people. When Avraham was about to sacrifice his son Yitzhak
to YHWH, "Abraham said, My son, Elohim (G-d) will provide himself
a SEH (lamb) for a burnt offering:" Genesis 22:8
Only five verses later it reads, "And Abraham
lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a 'AYIL (ram)
caught in a thicket by his horns:" verse 13. The SEH
(Lamb) that YHWH promised to provide Avraham is Yeshua, the Word of
YHWH who spoke with Avraham, Yitzhak and Ya'akov. YHWH did provide HIMSELF A LAMB!
So it was that
mankind tortured and put to death the Perfect Lamb of Elohim,
who by His suffering YHWH reconciled all the sins and dysfunction of the
world. There is no other PERFECTION to behold and no other acceptable
sacrifice to make reconciliation within mankind, we have nothing of value
to offer in exchange for the damage done by sin. As horrific
or antiquated that modern man might suppose this all to be, even that Mashiyach would
offer His life for ours, the fact of the matter is that this is far
BEYOND man. Countless cases of fathers and mothers have given
their lives to rescue and save children, even perfect strangers have
given their lives for the souls of others. The nature and
power of love and justice is knitted into the DNA of man but we still
have the power of choice to love or to hate, to live for Truth or to die
with our pride. The single most important reality in our
existence, is the One who brought us into existence.
Today nearly 1 in 3 people on the planet believe that Yeshua
is the Mashiyach, and they trust in what He has done for them. Why
do they believe?
The reason so many souls believe in
Him and trust Him
is because He demonstrated
Personal Character Attributes
of Love and Sacrifice of the
highest level ever known to man.
He reveals Himself inside of man.
Yeshua revealed
Himself to mankind as a Servant, and joyfully volunteered to cut us some
slack when we failed.
Yeshua's goal is to infuse righteousness into our souls, enabling us
to return His Love to Him and for each other. Yeshua suffered for our sins so we could become a Kedoshim
(Holy People) and have friendship with Him. Because Yeshua is the Son of the Most High Elohim, He
requires Friendship in Terms of Righteousness. He doesn't want or
need buddies or acquaintances.
Yeshua is the
sacrifice, which means that His value and importance must be counted as
Most Holy (set-apart) and Righteous. He is not an icon for us
to repeat His Name as a ritual, neither is He an "it".
A Kedoshim (Holy People) must bear the infamy of
living for Yeshua even among those who would choose to scorn and mock
His Word and sacrifice. The responsibility of defining and
establishing the Kedoshim belongs to YHWH, not mankind, our
responsibility is to say Hineni (here I am) and be prepared to do His
will. Being a Kedoshim is the calling we have together as a people
to be unified in vision and in purpose to do good.
If not Yeshua, where else or Who else has the words of eternal life?
"we believe and are sure that
Yeshua Mashiyach is the Son of the living Elohim."
All it takes
for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing.
We will never be "ready", we will
never be perfect, we will never have all the resources available to
help all who need our help. We have what YHWH has given us for
today. The SEVEN branches of the Menorah each signify a spirit
and a character attribute of Mashiyach which He imparts into His
Kedoshim (Holy People). The attributes are given to provide
"balance" and holiness into our lives from which Justice and
Righteousness will flow.
That's a guarantee, like none
other!
Amen ve Amen!
Why not?
