WEBVTT 00:10.200 --> 00:16.240 Several weeks ago, Nehemia Gordon started a firestorm when he released what he had 00:16.240 --> 00:18.720 found more than 18 years earlier. 00:18.920 --> 00:24.400 While searching the microfilm archives at Hebrew University, that's when he first 00:24.400 --> 00:27.040 came across the Hebrew Gospels. 00:27.480 --> 00:32.860 Not only was he looking for the Hebrew Matthew, but he found other Gospels that 00:32.860 --> 00:35.560 no one had looked at these manuscripts before. 00:35.560 --> 00:41.380 When he took the microfilm back to the librarian, after finding the Hebrew 00:41.380 --> 00:45.460 Gospels, these other Gospels, the librarian asked him a question. 00:46.060 --> 00:49.360 Did you find anything interesting in that microfilm? 00:50.180 --> 00:55.980 And he didn't want to answer because he did not know who knew about this. 00:56.360 --> 00:59.900 And he said to the librarian, why do you ask? 01:00.480 --> 01:04.060 And the librarian says that no one has ever checked that out. 01:04.060 --> 01:08.500 No one has ever seen this documentation before. 01:08.820 --> 01:14.280 He was the first one to look at it because anything that is done in Hebrew, 01:14.640 --> 01:19.220 in the Gospels, this is of no concern to Hebrew scholars for the most part. 01:19.480 --> 01:25.360 And it's of no concern to Christian scholars because they have stood on the 01:25.360 --> 01:30.700 ground that the Gospels were all done in Greek and all the scholarship has been 01:30.700 --> 01:31.400 done in Greek. 01:31.400 --> 01:39.720 And even though we have 250,000 variations in the 5,000 Greek manuscripts that exist, 01:40.080 --> 01:46.740 and there are questions that are posed that were not answerable until the ancient 01:46.740 --> 01:49.180 Hebrew text of the Gospel of Matthew came out. 01:49.520 --> 01:54.900 And so there are literally treasures that have been hidden for hundreds, 01:55.240 --> 02:01.280 yes for now, more than 1,000 years, 2,000 years, that our guest on this 02:01.280 --> 02:05.320 program has been deciphering and tracing these things back. 02:05.700 --> 02:08.140 And so I've asked Miles Jones to come back. 02:08.380 --> 02:13.640 He's a PhD in linguistics, a PhD in education, and he is the one that 02:13.640 --> 02:19.040 deciphered the code, the writing of God that is at Mount Sinai. 02:19.780 --> 02:22.120 And Miles, it's good to have you back with us. 02:22.220 --> 02:23.140 It's good to be here. 02:23.140 --> 02:26.320 And I'm excited about this, what you're doing right now. 02:26.380 --> 02:29.120 I know that you're in the middle of writing a book at this point. 02:29.360 --> 02:34.120 And when we talked on the phone, you decided that it was more important to 02:34.120 --> 02:37.720 get this message out than to wait for the completion of the book. 02:37.760 --> 02:38.840 And I appreciate that. 02:39.100 --> 02:45.660 I want to have you back on when the book is completed and for you to continue this 02:45.660 --> 02:49.300 adventure, because this has only just begun at this point. 02:49.500 --> 02:50.360 Well, thanks for that. 02:50.400 --> 02:51.060 I appreciate it. 02:51.060 --> 02:52.580 And I will be back. 02:52.700 --> 02:53.660 There will be more. 02:53.940 --> 02:55.080 There will be more. 02:55.220 --> 03:00.300 I have prophesied a long time ago that when I started this five years ago, 03:00.460 --> 03:04.720 that once the cat was out of the bag, the Hebrew Gospels were out there. 03:05.320 --> 03:10.600 All the libraries and churches and museums that are sitting on copies of it, 03:10.620 --> 03:12.660 because it is a forbidden manuscript. 03:12.880 --> 03:18.020 Remember, the Messianic Church has been hunted to extinction, they thought. 03:18.020 --> 03:23.920 And the Hebrew Gospels were targeted for extinction because they were a threat to 03:23.920 --> 03:28.440 the authority of the church, to Greek primacy, to Greek scripture, to the Greek 03:28.440 --> 03:31.740 church, to Latin primacy, to the Latin church, the Roman church. 03:32.180 --> 03:34.300 So it has been targeted. 03:34.800 --> 03:37.440 But the church is a spiritual battleground. 03:37.600 --> 03:41.860 There were a lot of people that did not agree with that and they hid their copies 03:41.860 --> 03:44.660 in the sub-basement, if you will. 03:44.660 --> 03:50.620 In fact, the Hebrew Gospels that I am translating, and have been for the past 03:50.620 --> 03:57.500 five years, they were bound beneath a 100-page document in Hebrew called the 03:57.500 --> 03:58.420 Tales of Sindabar. 03:58.800 --> 04:03.060 So unless you read the first 100 pages, you didn't realize there was a Hebrew 04:03.060 --> 04:05.460 Gospels there of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. 04:05.460 --> 04:10.380 And it was underneath that, under the pages, it was all bound together, 04:10.540 --> 04:11.980 a codex that was bound together. 04:11.980 --> 04:14.620 And so this was just overlooked. 04:14.900 --> 04:19.080 For 500 years, in the belly of the beast, in the Vatican itself. 04:19.620 --> 04:23.300 And I really believe that, you know, attitudes changed after the Holocaust. 04:23.940 --> 04:26.100 There's been a lot more openness on the part of the church. 04:26.280 --> 04:29.440 They're not threatened anymore by this, which is good. 04:29.480 --> 04:30.060 It's progressive. 04:30.220 --> 04:30.640 It's good. 04:30.780 --> 04:32.420 Give them credit where credit is due. 04:32.660 --> 04:34.200 They have been open about this. 04:34.360 --> 04:39.920 The Vatican has released this document to me so I could study it and other documents 04:39.920 --> 04:40.860 that we're talking about. 04:40.860 --> 04:45.780 It's been so exciting the past few weeks because they're starting to pop up like 04:45.780 --> 04:46.780 flowers in the spring. 04:46.900 --> 04:52.140 Exactly like I said, once the cat is out of the bag, there's no reason to sit on 04:52.140 --> 04:55.560 these valuable documents anymore that were forbidden by the church. 04:55.680 --> 04:59.640 Now the Vatican leading the way, that is starting to happen. 05:00.500 --> 05:02.100 So Nehemia and I have been busy. 05:02.240 --> 05:06.960 Nehemia was studying the oldest manuscript of the Hebrew Gospels, the Shem Tov 05:06.960 --> 05:08.300 manuscript of Matthew. 05:08.300 --> 05:13.380 And I was studying the second oldest, about a hundred years later, but done in 05:13.380 --> 05:17.800 the same area of Spain, Catalan, ancient Sepharad. 05:18.060 --> 05:22.300 And when we got our energies together, it was pretty... 05:23.260 --> 05:25.000 lots of sparks were flying. 05:25.180 --> 05:30.380 Well, we have from the Vatican Library, we actually have the photographs of the 05:30.380 --> 05:37.100 manuscripts and we're working right now to get the permission for publication so that 05:37.100 --> 05:38.400 everyone can have these. 05:39.200 --> 05:44.560 Where Nehemia is working on this in an attempt to do a coffee table book to where 05:44.560 --> 05:50.820 we not only have the photographs on parchment, as far as the Gospels are 05:50.820 --> 05:55.420 concerned, but also the modern transcription and the modern translation. 05:56.080 --> 05:59.100 He's already been working on this in the Book of Revelation from the British 05:59.100 --> 05:59.740 Library. 06:00.160 --> 06:05.600 But for believers to have it, especially Messianic Jews in this generation, 06:05.600 --> 06:10.940 to have those ancient documents reproduced, have this on the coffee table, 06:11.060 --> 06:14.180 this is going to open up so many incredible doors. 06:14.500 --> 06:18.580 The most incredible is the truth of the Word, the sacred Word of God. 06:18.840 --> 06:22.860 I always tell people, the question always comes up, what difference does it make 06:22.860 --> 06:24.920 whether it's written in Greek or in Hebrew? 06:25.280 --> 06:29.600 And I say it doesn't make any difference unless you care about the truth of the 06:29.600 --> 06:29.860 Word. 06:30.540 --> 06:35.220 You know, everything gets filtered through another language, another culture, 06:35.420 --> 06:38.520 a whole other way of thinking, through Greek thought. 06:38.820 --> 06:42.920 In fact, Yeshua the Messiah himself becomes a Greek philosopher. 06:43.780 --> 06:45.940 And the differences are significant. 06:46.300 --> 06:49.600 Right, from that perspective, from that inaccurate perspective. 06:50.560 --> 06:57.220 And as I say, okay, we have to admit that we have most of the Gospels and most of 06:57.220 --> 06:59.140 the translation have come from Greek. 06:59.300 --> 07:04.200 But the first thing we have to understand that even though these are Greek words, 07:04.480 --> 07:06.300 this is not a Greek culture. 07:06.720 --> 07:12.160 It has to be interpreted and understood through a Hebraic understanding. 07:12.720 --> 07:14.420 And that's the only way it can be done. 07:14.480 --> 07:20.000 We have so many things, the unsolvable mysteries in the Greek that are translated 07:20.000 --> 07:24.940 over to English that translators and modern readers just gloss over. 07:25.220 --> 07:26.100 They read right by. 07:26.360 --> 07:28.380 They know that they don't understand it. 07:28.380 --> 07:34.780 But they don't go back to the simplest understanding that everyone to whom it was 07:34.780 --> 07:38.420 originally addressed, they understood this with absolute clarity. 07:38.740 --> 07:38.880 Right. 07:39.220 --> 07:43.640 Well, since the beginning of Christianity, since the beginning of the textual history 07:43.640 --> 07:48.320 of the Bible, they have been correcting it from the Hebrew Gospels in the beginning. 07:48.560 --> 07:52.080 But then once it was translated into Greek and then into Latin, they wanted to get 07:52.080 --> 07:56.180 rid of the Hebrew because it was a threat to the authority of the church. 07:56.180 --> 07:56.620 Right. 07:56.760 --> 08:02.040 And there are so many points of clarity in the Hebrew version of the Gospels and what 08:02.040 --> 08:02.980 we see in the Vatican. 08:03.140 --> 08:03.340 Right. 08:03.500 --> 08:04.380 There are differences. 08:04.740 --> 08:14.280 In the first pages of Luke, what do we find that is just about universally denied 08:14.280 --> 08:20.960 now even among the Messianic Judaism cult, the people that try to attach rabbinic 08:20.960 --> 08:26.760 Judaism and make a Messianic version of it, they want to say that the name Jehovah 08:26.760 --> 08:29.520 was not known and no one spoke that. 08:29.900 --> 08:35.780 And here we see in the Gospel of Luke, Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh, with all the vowel 08:35.780 --> 08:36.760 pointings. 08:36.960 --> 08:40.740 That is the latest manuscript to come out and it's a new one. 08:40.880 --> 08:45.240 And it's highly significant that the Messianic, because whenever you see Hebrew 08:45.240 --> 08:50.120 Gospel, we're talking Messianic scribes because the Judaic church... 08:50.120 --> 08:51.720 That's an important thing to... 08:51.720 --> 08:54.320 They were being prosecuted for this by the Christians. 08:54.700 --> 08:59.080 So they were burning the Hebrew Gospels and the Gentile church, the Greek church 08:59.080 --> 09:03.940 and the Roman church, they were burning the Gospels and the people along with it 09:03.940 --> 09:05.180 that held to those ideas. 09:05.580 --> 09:08.780 So this, the Messianic church was targeted. 09:09.540 --> 09:14.440 The whole was persecuted for 2,000 years and the Hebrew Gospels were targeted for 09:14.440 --> 09:15.040 extinction. 09:15.540 --> 09:20.640 So the story has been that supposedly all the authors of the books in the New 09:20.640 --> 09:22.620 Testament were Hebrews, right? 09:22.820 --> 09:26.140 But yet, however, we're expected to believe that every single original 09:26.140 --> 09:28.080 manuscript was written in Greek. 09:28.200 --> 09:29.320 Does that make any sense? 09:29.560 --> 09:32.280 Not even according to the early church fathers. 09:32.720 --> 09:36.280 They admitted that Hebrews was written in Hebrew. 09:36.720 --> 09:37.020 Duh! 09:37.260 --> 09:38.840 And Matthew was written in Hebrew. 09:39.000 --> 09:43.920 We have to ignore all of that because we're buying into a spin. 09:44.320 --> 09:49.640 We're buying into a narrative of the Greek church, of Greek primacy of Scripture. 09:49.640 --> 09:51.580 And that just won't hold up. 09:51.880 --> 09:52.400 It's spin. 09:52.520 --> 09:55.580 Spin was not invented in this century. 09:55.980 --> 09:58.160 It has been with us a long time. 09:58.240 --> 10:01.000 But they could enforce it with the power of capital punishment. 10:01.240 --> 10:04.900 If you didn't go along with what they said, you would burn at the stake and your 10:04.900 --> 10:06.460 manuscripts along with you. 10:06.840 --> 10:10.640 So the manuscripts themselves, the Hebrew Gospels are the primary 10:10.640 --> 10:15.660 landmark, the primary markers of the greatest story never told. 10:16.080 --> 10:20.780 The survival of the Messianic church underground throughout 2,000 years. 10:20.960 --> 10:27.120 They mark what it is, where it happened and what happened because only Messianic 10:27.120 --> 10:28.920 scribes are going to be... 10:28.920 --> 10:30.620 because they're risking their lives. 10:30.800 --> 10:32.720 You'd be burned at the stake for this. 10:33.100 --> 10:38.600 Not only it was absolutely against church doctrine, it was a mortal sin to translate 10:38.600 --> 10:42.200 the Bible into the vernacular, into the language that would be Hebrew, 10:42.340 --> 10:47.280 of course, or Roman, or any of the languages of the people that wanted to 10:47.280 --> 10:47.720 read the Bible. 10:47.720 --> 10:53.020 And that continued on down, right down, even the translation over into English. 10:53.420 --> 10:55.440 They were burning people at the stake. 10:55.560 --> 10:56.800 They were executing them. 10:57.080 --> 11:01.820 They were trying to get the language of the Bible into the common parlance, 11:01.880 --> 11:03.680 what everyone spoke on the street. 11:03.800 --> 11:09.220 Even just for reading it in the vernacular language, you could be burned at the 11:09.220 --> 11:09.440 stake. 11:09.520 --> 11:11.500 And so you imagine what it was. 11:12.140 --> 11:17.260 And that's why they thought that all of the extant copies of Matthew had been 11:17.260 --> 11:19.940 obliterated by the time of the Declaration. 11:20.100 --> 11:21.560 They certainly tried, however. 11:21.760 --> 11:24.160 Right, and that was what was thought. 11:24.480 --> 11:28.140 And they tried to lay that thing out, that that's what happened. 11:28.400 --> 11:33.360 But we know that the persecution by Rome to obliterate these manuscripts, 11:34.180 --> 11:36.020 that was a very real thing. 11:36.060 --> 11:36.780 Oh, absolutely. 11:37.180 --> 11:41.780 That thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of believers lost 11:41.780 --> 11:43.580 their lives for trying to maintain. 11:43.580 --> 11:47.680 And so that's why I say, everyone that we've got, even in King James, 11:48.040 --> 11:49.420 this is not to be treated lightly. 11:49.880 --> 11:51.620 This was written in blood. 11:51.920 --> 11:52.700 Yes, it is. 11:52.880 --> 11:58.140 Probably about a million Christians had been martyred by the church itself over 11:58.140 --> 11:58.600 that time. 11:59.160 --> 12:02.160 They say, church history says, that the persecution of the Christians 12:02.160 --> 12:06.080 ended with Constantine, but that is a totally false statement. 12:06.340 --> 12:07.960 It just morphed. 12:08.500 --> 12:15.360 And now it was the church itself that was executing fellow congregants in order to 12:15.360 --> 12:17.820 achieve doctrinal purity, right? 12:17.820 --> 12:22.740 In order to be, to win the doctrinal lottery, because the church that won, 12:23.240 --> 12:28.060 whose doctrine won out, was going to sit in the seat of power over all the churches 12:28.060 --> 12:28.540 of the earth. 12:28.660 --> 12:29.560 That's what they thought. 12:29.820 --> 12:30.580 That's right. 12:30.860 --> 12:36.820 And that's why the Pope, or it was Constantine who named himself Pontifex 12:36.820 --> 12:40.180 Maximus, which is the title of the high priest of paganism. 12:40.180 --> 12:45.920 But then it went from there to where he was almighty God upon the earth. 12:45.980 --> 12:49.060 He was the vicar, vicariously Christ. 12:50.240 --> 12:53.440 Almighty God upon the earth, and his authority is not to be challenged. 12:53.680 --> 12:55.720 He called himself the 13th Apostle. 12:55.820 --> 13:02.460 In fact, he created a huge church with 12 coffins around his, where he was the 13:02.460 --> 13:06.440 leader, or symbolic of the leader, in place of the Messiah. 13:06.820 --> 13:10.820 And he tried to get the remains of all the apostles to put in these coffins. 13:11.260 --> 13:13.500 The hubris is pretty breathtaking, right? 13:13.800 --> 13:20.280 But all kings claimed their authority by divine right. 13:20.440 --> 13:24.540 So why should we be surprised that Christianity was used in this way? 13:25.040 --> 13:28.900 And Eusebius tried to create this myth. 13:29.260 --> 13:35.140 He was the one, Eusebius of Caesarea, who was a flunky, I guess is the word, 13:35.380 --> 13:36.240 of Constantine. 13:36.240 --> 13:37.700 He wrote The Life of Constantine. 13:37.840 --> 13:38.860 He wrote The History of the Church. 13:38.920 --> 13:40.440 He wrote the book In Praise of Constantine. 13:40.440 --> 13:42.420 He was a bishop of Constantine. 13:42.880 --> 13:45.160 He was a flunky of the truth. 13:45.820 --> 13:49.800 But he created the three-and-a-half-year ministry, which had never been thought of 13:49.800 --> 13:53.320 before, which you talked about in The Chronological Gospel, and proved 13:53.320 --> 13:57.040 definitively that it could not have been a three-and-a-half-year ministry. 13:57.340 --> 14:00.120 It wasn't one 70-week ministry. 14:00.600 --> 14:04.820 And that's something that you spent a great deal of time researching on, 14:04.820 --> 14:11.880 because it took me 20 years to ferret that thing out, that it is impossible to put 14:11.880 --> 14:14.600 together the Gospels with a three-and-a-half-year ministry. 14:14.760 --> 14:16.020 It's nonsense. 14:16.020 --> 14:18.780 It contradicts the testimony of the other three Gospels. 14:19.180 --> 14:23.460 And even in John, they never mentioned any of the feast days more than one time. 14:23.620 --> 14:27.500 If it was three-and-a-half years, you would have four Passover's. 14:27.800 --> 14:29.840 You'd have three Sukkot's. 14:30.020 --> 14:33.380 You would have all of these, and they never mentioned more than one time. 14:33.380 --> 14:35.300 It was clearly a one-year gospel. 14:35.800 --> 14:43.120 John 6, 4 was an insertion, mistakenly by a Greek copyist or perhaps by Eusebius 14:43.120 --> 14:47.960 himself to promulgate the three-and-a-half-year ministry because it 14:47.960 --> 14:49.490 signaled the end times. 14:50.420 --> 14:55.280 When the Messiah would return, he would rule over all the nations of the 14:55.280 --> 14:57.580 earth and he would end the persecution of Christians. 14:57.860 --> 14:58.800 Well, who did that? 14:59.360 --> 15:00.020 Constantine. 15:00.580 --> 15:01.220 Constantine. 15:01.220 --> 15:07.380 So he is the vicar of Christ who's finally returned, returned to his throne in Rome, 15:07.540 --> 15:10.500 not in Jerusalem but in Rome, to rule over mankind. 15:10.540 --> 15:12.340 But he was not the Messiah. 15:12.460 --> 15:17.340 He was a false Messiah because he took the bishops up on a tall mountaintop 15:17.340 --> 15:23.960 symbolically and said, if you will just bow down to me, I will make the church the 15:23.960 --> 15:26.260 premier religion of the world. 15:26.800 --> 15:28.060 And they bowed down to him. 15:29.220 --> 15:30.740 And that's what happened. 15:30.740 --> 15:32.140 And at that point... 15:32.140 --> 15:38.220 Isn't that what Satan took Yeshua up to a high peak and said, bow down to me and all 15:38.220 --> 15:39.780 these kingdoms will be yours? 15:39.880 --> 15:41.260 That's exactly my point. 15:41.340 --> 15:42.300 That's exactly my point. 15:42.400 --> 15:44.920 So what did Constantine do that we know he was a false Messiah? 15:45.440 --> 15:50.240 Well, this is when, up until then, the Messianic Church and later the 15:50.240 --> 15:55.680 Nazarene Church and the Apostolic Church were a part of the Judaic religion. 15:55.900 --> 16:00.220 All Christians, whether Jews or Gentiles, were really considered a part of Judaism. 16:00.220 --> 16:01.760 It was a sect of Judaism. 16:01.940 --> 16:03.380 It was accepted as such. 16:03.760 --> 16:06.340 It was Constantine who finally finalized the divorce. 16:06.740 --> 16:08.340 It had growing anti-Semitism. 16:08.980 --> 16:10.480 Constantine effected the divorce. 16:10.660 --> 16:15.900 From now on, all Messianic believers, Jewish or otherwise, would be considered 16:15.900 --> 16:16.600 heretics. 16:16.840 --> 16:19.960 They would be burned and their books would be burned along with them. 16:20.360 --> 16:26.460 And that is the pattern that they pursued for the next 2,000 years of persecution of 16:26.460 --> 16:27.420 the Messianic Church. 16:27.420 --> 16:30.200 But they failed to extinguish it. 16:30.360 --> 16:31.640 The churches survived. 16:31.800 --> 16:33.260 They sparked the Reformation. 16:33.680 --> 16:38.420 They also sparked the Renaissance because they had put... 16:38.980 --> 16:43.660 Well, they had forbidden, really, the study of Hebrew and the study of 16:43.660 --> 16:43.960 Greek. 16:44.280 --> 16:45.480 So how did they do that? 16:45.540 --> 16:50.520 So we lost all the Greek masterpieces that formed the model of Western civilization. 16:50.760 --> 16:52.360 That's why they called it the Dark Ages. 16:52.480 --> 16:57.840 They came back in from the East through Arabic translations that were translated 16:57.840 --> 17:04.580 by Messianic scribes in the Messianic Church, the resurgent Messianic Church in 17:04.580 --> 17:04.960 Spain. 17:05.120 --> 17:09.340 So it played a huge part in sparking the Renaissance and the Reformation. 17:09.620 --> 17:11.180 So it was... 17:11.180 --> 17:13.460 The church has been there all along. 17:14.000 --> 17:21.560 It's been a really important factor in the survival of the true Word because they had 17:21.560 --> 17:28.240 gospels that they held on to outside of the long arm, the grip of the Roman 17:28.240 --> 17:30.720 Church, which was trying its best to burn them all. 17:31.420 --> 17:32.480 And how would they do that? 17:32.500 --> 17:33.820 Because they don't know Hebrew, right? 17:34.000 --> 17:35.960 They don't even want anybody studying Hebrew. 17:36.280 --> 17:37.680 So how would they do that? 17:37.980 --> 17:40.500 Well, they just burnt all Hebrew manuscripts. 17:41.100 --> 17:45.180 So for a period literally of a thousand years from the time of Yeshua, 17:45.540 --> 17:48.700 Hamashiach, there were no Hebrew manuscripts. 17:48.900 --> 17:53.520 Now remember, this is from a society that has been the most literate society in 17:53.520 --> 17:54.260 history. 17:54.600 --> 17:56.180 The Jews, right? 17:56.280 --> 17:59.200 And the Messianic Jews had the same educational tradition. 18:00.880 --> 18:03.400 No Hebrew manuscripts at all. 18:03.540 --> 18:03.880 Zero. 18:04.200 --> 18:05.700 Zip for a thousand years. 18:05.820 --> 18:07.860 They were all burned, right? 18:07.920 --> 18:11.720 Until the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and they date to the second 18:11.720 --> 18:12.180 century. 18:12.300 --> 18:19.320 So that reduces it to an 800 year period of absolute silence on Hebrew manuscripts. 18:19.320 --> 18:23.100 But obviously they were stashed away because they're afraid of them being 18:23.100 --> 18:23.620 destroyed. 18:24.320 --> 18:30.440 So this discovery now of the Hebrew Gospels is just epic. 18:30.620 --> 18:31.580 It is so exciting. 18:32.020 --> 18:39.140 This is a story, I call it, the greatest story never told. 18:39.660 --> 18:42.920 I don't think I'm going to let you completely steal that one. 18:44.720 --> 18:46.980 I may have stolen it from you already. 18:46.980 --> 18:50.580 That fits so much with the Gospels. 18:51.000 --> 18:54.900 Because nobody is teaching what Yeshua taught. 18:55.260 --> 18:56.500 And that's what he said. 18:56.720 --> 19:00.840 He told his disciples, you make disciples and teach them what I taught you. 19:01.160 --> 19:07.360 Instead what we get are sweet baby Jesus stories and all sorts of insipid drivel 19:07.360 --> 19:10.880 that is passed off instead of teaching what he taught. 19:11.140 --> 19:13.500 Because that is the Gospel of the Kingdom. 19:13.500 --> 19:20.040 And this is where the real separation with the Messianic believers in the synagogue 19:20.040 --> 19:24.660 system because Yeshua stood up against rabbinic Judaism. 19:24.940 --> 19:31.240 He stood up and vehemently violated the rules and regulations that were eventually 19:31.240 --> 19:32.360 encoded in the Talmud. 19:32.740 --> 19:37.900 But the invented rules and regulations, the Takenot of the Pharisees, he stood up 19:37.900 --> 19:43.420 against and that is why they were plotting to and then finally delivered him to the 19:43.420 --> 19:47.740 Romans for his execution because he was stripping their authority. 19:48.380 --> 19:52.040 And heaven was endorsing it by these incredible miracles. 19:52.460 --> 19:58.080 Every miracle that Yeshua did, he was deliberately violating Pharisee 19:58.080 --> 19:58.500 law. 19:58.980 --> 20:04.160 And so now when the believers, the followers of Yeshua, which are called 20:04.160 --> 20:12.640 followers of the way throughout the Book of Acts, these people are, they're really, 20:12.780 --> 20:17.520 there's a war going on in the synagogue system to where the Pharisees are trying 20:17.520 --> 20:23.220 to hang on to their religion and the followers of Yeshua are trying to teach 20:23.220 --> 20:29.500 the Torah, clean Torah, not with all these rules and regulations added but to 20:29.500 --> 20:35.720 separate the rules from men from the living word which is Yeshua's instructions 20:35.720 --> 20:42.680 which he is following exactly and showing us how to live out what Moses gave us from 20:42.680 --> 20:43.180 the mountain. 20:43.360 --> 20:45.620 Right, so you've got these two forces there. 20:46.000 --> 20:49.700 They were trying to separate themselves from the commandments of men, the Takanot, 20:49.840 --> 20:54.580 the things that had been added on to the Judaic religion and keep what was right. 20:54.660 --> 20:59.540 At the same time, they were trying to remain imitators of Yeshua HaMashiach by 20:59.540 --> 21:03.580 keeping the feast days and the other commandments that were still relevant. 21:03.580 --> 21:08.240 Obviously, animal sacrifice and a lot of the temple ceremonies and stuff, 21:08.400 --> 21:13.480 they were abrogated with the crucifixion, the sacrifice of the Son of God. 21:13.960 --> 21:17.780 Well, they didn't discontinue until the destruction of the temple though. 21:18.160 --> 21:18.900 No, they didn't. 21:18.940 --> 21:19.520 That's correct. 21:19.660 --> 21:23.880 But that happened upon his crucifixion really and then the whole temple was 21:23.880 --> 21:25.420 destroyed 40 years later. 21:25.820 --> 21:30.820 But the temple was broken and defiled and profaned on the crucifixion. 21:30.820 --> 21:39.340 To clarify on this, the Pharisees records tell us that 40 years before the 21:39.340 --> 21:44.200 destruction of the temple that the Yom Kippur sacrifice and miracle, the miracle 21:44.200 --> 21:51.800 that took place on Yom Kippur of the scarlet cord turning white that it never 21:51.800 --> 21:52.840 happened again. 21:53.640 --> 22:00.140 And when 40 years before and according to Maimonides and the Jewish scholars, 22:00.720 --> 22:03.860 the destruction of the temple was in 68 of the Common Era. 22:04.280 --> 22:09.800 It was the year before the 380th Greek Era that the temple was destroyed. 22:09.960 --> 22:11.320 What is 40 years before that? 22:11.420 --> 22:14.980 It's 28 of the Common Era the year Yeshua was crucified. 22:15.600 --> 22:21.280 So when he was crucified from that moment on the Yom Kippur sacrifice, the miracle 22:21.280 --> 22:27.160 that happened, that heaven endorsed this, the miracle never took place again and 22:27.160 --> 22:32.460 they still have to acknowledge this today and if they could, if the Pharisees could 22:32.460 --> 22:36.120 wipe that out and pretend it didn't happen they would do it. 22:36.180 --> 22:39.660 But they can't do it because they documented it themselves. 22:40.100 --> 22:41.120 This is what happened. 22:41.360 --> 22:47.180 The year Yeshua was crucified, the Yom Kippur sacrifice and miracle never 22:47.180 --> 22:48.320 happened again. 22:48.620 --> 22:52.500 And year after year until the temple was destroyed this was an omen. 22:52.700 --> 22:56.460 And there were several just deeply troubling omens. 22:56.860 --> 23:04.160 And so this is what we have in Hebrews is that the sacrifices that were done, 23:04.300 --> 23:08.420 and this is important for people to understand, the sacrifices that were done 23:08.420 --> 23:13.960 were to remind us that we broke the blood covenant and we incurred the death 23:13.960 --> 23:14.340 penalty. 23:14.640 --> 23:19.720 So instead of being killed immediately as God said, stand back Moses, I'm gonna kill 23:19.720 --> 23:21.740 them all right now and start over with you. 23:22.060 --> 23:28.280 Instead Moses interceded and the Almighty then put in place the sacrifices. 23:28.920 --> 23:32.600 And that is when Moses went back up to the mountain and the Almighty gave him the 23:32.600 --> 23:36.200 detail concerning the brazen altar of sacrifices. 23:36.660 --> 23:42.140 And sacrifices were added because of the transgression, breaking the blood 23:42.140 --> 23:42.520 covenant. 23:42.680 --> 23:46.040 But when Yeshua paid that penalty, bam! 23:46.740 --> 23:49.200 No longer was that miracle shown from heaven. 23:49.620 --> 23:51.240 No longer was it acceptable. 23:51.700 --> 23:56.780 The sacrifice of that twin goat, that baby twin goat. 23:57.060 --> 23:57.840 It was shown... 23:57.840 --> 23:58.980 The escape goat. 23:59.260 --> 24:00.120 That's right. 24:00.400 --> 24:03.040 Never, never was effectual again. 24:03.720 --> 24:09.560 And so that very moment, that is when the death penalty was paid. 24:09.720 --> 24:10.940 And that's what it was. 24:11.180 --> 24:17.300 And people do not realize the whole role of the Messianic church, the true church, 24:17.400 --> 24:20.000 the original church has been totally downplayed. 24:20.320 --> 24:27.440 They were the seminal central player in the first centuries of the Christian era. 24:28.840 --> 24:34.860 The apostles went to all corners of the world and they carried the Hebrew Gospels 24:34.860 --> 24:35.580 with them. 24:36.100 --> 24:39.880 Before Rome even became an established church. 24:39.900 --> 24:40.140 Right. 24:40.360 --> 24:41.680 Rome's not even in the picture. 24:42.120 --> 24:42.900 They're not in the picture yet. 24:42.900 --> 24:48.900 There were some people there, but it was the Hebrew apostles who took it. 24:48.940 --> 24:50.000 They took the Hebrew Gospels. 24:50.520 --> 24:54.800 We have in the early literature, we have it cited as being found in 24:54.800 --> 25:01.900 obviously in Israel, but also in Egypt, in Syria, in Yemen, in India, in 25:01.900 --> 25:04.320 Constantinople, in Alexandria. 25:04.780 --> 25:08.840 Just all over the place, the Hebrew Gospels had been taken and they were 25:08.840 --> 25:10.140 teaching from that. 25:10.180 --> 25:13.460 They were teaching from that word, from the Hebrew Gospels. 25:13.540 --> 25:14.820 And all of that is ignored. 25:15.060 --> 25:19.260 They made the seedbed of Christianity, which spread into the Greek churches, 25:19.520 --> 25:24.120 into the Gentiles, mostly Greek, and that changed everything. 25:24.120 --> 25:27.340 Let's trace this back for the people for a few minutes. 25:27.800 --> 25:31.660 Because the apostles stayed in Jerusalem. 25:32.140 --> 25:34.440 The sent ones, they didn't go on from there. 25:34.720 --> 25:42.760 They stayed in Jerusalem and this is when Saul was sent by the Pharisee Sanhedrin 25:42.760 --> 25:49.880 over to Damascus to continue to arrest believers and he was sent to the 25:49.880 --> 25:55.460 synagogues to arrest believers, follow Yeshua in the synagogue and bring 25:55.460 --> 25:56.720 them back in chains. 25:57.180 --> 26:04.840 And of course this resulted in Yeshua appearing to him and so finally he comes 26:04.840 --> 26:05.620 back to Jerusalem. 26:05.800 --> 26:08.220 When he comes back, the apostles are afraid of him. 26:08.720 --> 26:13.660 But Barnaba was there in Damascus and he said, no, he's changed. 26:14.320 --> 26:16.480 He's boldly preaching Yeshua. 26:16.980 --> 26:22.800 And so you have Barnaba and Shaul who are going in and out of Jerusalem and great 26:22.800 --> 26:23.700 things are happening. 26:24.080 --> 26:28.940 But Shaul then starts contending with these Greek proselytes and they get all 26:28.940 --> 26:32.080 fired up because they want to hold on to their Judaism. 26:32.800 --> 26:34.960 They want to hang on to their Pharisaism. 26:35.240 --> 26:37.880 And so they're in conflict. 26:37.880 --> 26:43.880 And so then Shaul gets taken over to Caesarea where he gets on a boat and goes 26:43.880 --> 26:44.700 up to Tarsus. 26:45.020 --> 26:50.240 But what Barnaba does is he goes up and he goes up to Antioch. 26:50.360 --> 26:55.680 And it says as the apostles spread out from Jerusalem, they went just to the 26:55.680 --> 27:00.000 synagogue preaching only to the Jews, not the Gentiles. 27:00.300 --> 27:03.900 The Samaritans by Philip, yeah, but that didn't go very far. 27:04.100 --> 27:10.440 But it was the Messianic believers who took it to Antioch and then Barnaba went 27:10.440 --> 27:11.400 down and got Shaul. 27:11.580 --> 27:12.680 Shaul went back there. 27:13.100 --> 27:19.780 And this is where as you pointed out in your research, that Luke was in Antioch. 27:20.860 --> 27:27.540 And so we have the first time that in Antioch, Gentiles are in the synagogue 27:27.540 --> 27:30.180 with the rest of the believers. 27:30.400 --> 27:37.240 And the Messianic Jews in the synagogue and what happens with that? 27:37.540 --> 27:41.000 That's when they first became known as Christians. 27:41.360 --> 27:42.620 So we have Gentiles. 27:42.780 --> 27:45.500 By Gentiles who are in the synagogue. 27:45.800 --> 27:47.120 Notarim, Nazarene. 27:47.200 --> 27:48.600 That's right, the Notarim. 27:48.700 --> 27:51.920 But that changed the church. 27:52.200 --> 27:55.360 But Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles. 27:55.520 --> 27:59.680 And many of the Jews in the diaspora had lost their Orthodox Judaism. 28:00.440 --> 28:01.220 They had lost it. 28:01.220 --> 28:07.720 But they became believers but they did not come back to doing all the laws and the 28:07.720 --> 28:09.280 customs of the rabbinic tradition. 28:09.700 --> 28:16.340 The Orthodox believers in Yeshua in Jerusalem were zealous for the law. 28:16.600 --> 28:18.400 So you have this contradiction. 28:18.800 --> 28:25.280 Right, but zealous for not only the law, but you have those who are Pharisees. 28:25.400 --> 28:29.920 Believers who were Pharisees who are holding on to rabbinic tradition. 28:30.100 --> 28:32.260 And that's where a big conflict comes in. 28:32.540 --> 28:34.180 It will always throughout the book of Acts. 28:34.200 --> 28:34.580 That is the conflict. 28:34.840 --> 28:38.220 And that is what caused the divorce between the Greek church and the Messianic 28:38.220 --> 28:38.640 church. 28:38.960 --> 28:39.940 It is this conflict. 28:40.080 --> 28:45.480 This is why they were so upset with Paul because they believed he was teaching this 28:45.480 --> 28:48.560 that it was okay for them to not obey the law. 28:48.960 --> 28:54.680 Because the Judaic believers, James the just, the brother of Yeshua and the 28:54.680 --> 28:59.400 others, they wanted them to come back into the fold and begin to practice the law. 28:59.920 --> 29:06.240 And this is really why so many people say that the Christian church is really based 29:06.240 --> 29:09.380 more on Paul than it is on Yeshua. 29:09.760 --> 29:15.620 Because he carried the banner of this outreach to the Gentiles which was moving 29:15.620 --> 29:17.740 further and further from the law. 29:18.180 --> 29:20.200 And I'd like to show you something that I think will blow your minds. 29:20.200 --> 29:25.640 Well, we've got to take a break right now because as this debate is going to heat up 29:25.640 --> 29:31.280 because I think both of us have got perspectives that are going to meld 29:31.280 --> 29:36.520 together to show these Messianic believers, Messianic Jews, as they take 29:36.520 --> 29:38.580 this message out into the world. 29:38.940 --> 29:45.380 And then you're going to have the Gentiles and especially the Romans come in and 29:45.380 --> 29:51.600 attempt to crush and destroy the authority of Yeshua and replace him with the vicar 29:51.600 --> 29:52.340 of Christ. 29:52.340 --> 29:58.620 In the 1980s, Ron Wyatt and Jim and Penny Caldwell risked their lives to find the 29:58.620 --> 30:02.220 real Mount Sinai in the barren desert of Saudi Arabia. 30:02.880 --> 30:07.220 Today, their work is rapidly expanding Biblical understanding and weaving 30:07.220 --> 30:12.300 together a prophetic tapestry with ancient documents tucked away in the Vatican. 30:12.640 --> 30:17.960 These are the greatest evangelistic tools that we've ever had in our hands to show 30:17.960 --> 30:19.700 people the reality of the Scriptures. 30:19.700 --> 30:25.360 Michael Rood and Miles Jones uncover a Sinai mystery and reveal exciting new 30:25.360 --> 30:28.740 evidence now coming to light in Beyond Mount Sinai. 30:28.920 --> 30:31.460 This is the tie-in to the great secret. 30:31.800 --> 30:36.180 These were alphabetic inscriptions in the oldest alphabet

here on the A Rood Awakening 30:58.880 --> 31:06.380 studio because we are exploring things back in the foundation of the Christian 31:06.380 --> 31:10.000 church as it was first called Christians in Antioch. 31:10.280 --> 31:11.600 But what was going on? 31:11.680 --> 31:15.600 These were Messianic Jews that were going to the synagogue. 31:16.380 --> 31:20.000 And this is something Miles and I, as we were discussing this, we felt that 31:20.000 --> 31:21.380 this needed to be clarified. 31:21.720 --> 31:26.560 As we see in the book of Acts and in Shaul's letters, is that we have 31:27.700 --> 31:32.240 believers, followers of Yeshua who were Pharisees. 31:32.480 --> 31:37.020 And they have brought with them all of their Rabbinic Takenot. 31:37.220 --> 31:42.180 All of this oral law that they've grown up with their whole lives and they cannot 31:42.180 --> 31:47.500 separate the oral Torah that they were taught and the Torah of Moses. 31:47.880 --> 31:50.620 And this is where Yeshua puts the knife down. 31:50.800 --> 31:53.920 He said, I did not come to bring peace, I came to bring a sword. 31:54.160 --> 31:58.960 And he put the blade down between the law of Moses, which are the commandments of 31:58.960 --> 32:04.060 God, and the invented rules and regulations of Pharisee-ism which they 32:04.060 --> 32:06.340 built an entire religious system on that. 32:06.680 --> 32:14.080 So you've got believers who are still in the grasp of Pharisaic Judaism in Israel, 32:14.440 --> 32:17.660 and Shaul is making that knife point, that knife cut. 32:17.900 --> 32:24.300 But now, we have Shaul's writings and the teachings that were done at that time, 32:24.480 --> 32:28.880 that everyone was understanding this division that was going on. 32:29.160 --> 32:35.820 But now, we've come to the point where we have Gentiles interpreting the scripture 32:35.820 --> 32:42.300 in Shaul's letters from their Gentile perspective and not knowing that Shaul is 32:42.300 --> 32:43.800 not speaking against the Torah. 32:44.140 --> 32:45.040 Never does. 32:45.340 --> 32:48.400 And he is an observant Jew himself. 32:49.080 --> 32:55.540 But the big animosity toward him was that they said he was teaching the diaspora 32:55.540 --> 32:58.900 Jews and the Gentiles that they did not have to follow the law. 32:59.340 --> 33:01.320 And this is when they came to Jerusalem. 33:01.320 --> 33:02.880 But what was he really saying? 33:03.020 --> 33:05.680 You don't follow what law? 33:06.640 --> 33:09.800 The oral Torah of the Pharisees. 33:10.220 --> 33:13.200 Well, this all came to a head in Jerusalem. 33:13.500 --> 33:19.100 This is in Acts 15 where they all got together and they made a determination 33:19.100 --> 33:25.640 based on the guidance of the Holy Spirit that those under the circumcision could 33:25.640 --> 33:26.380 follow the law. 33:26.560 --> 33:29.120 Believers in the Messiah could follow the law. 33:29.460 --> 33:34.660 But those that were uncircumcised did not have to become circumcised and therefore 33:34.660 --> 33:38.720 did not have to obey all of the commandments. 33:39.540 --> 33:41.680 Oh, absolutely not. 33:41.880 --> 33:43.460 No, no. 33:44.260 --> 33:45.300 No, no. 33:45.900 --> 33:49.920 What James quotes, he quotes what the Gentiles have to do. 33:50.200 --> 33:56.000 He quotes it right from the Torah that the Gentiles have got to not be worshiping 33:56.000 --> 33:56.820 other gods. 33:57.340 --> 34:01.240 They can't be committing fornication or erva matters. 34:01.540 --> 34:03.800 They can't be sexually... 34:03.800 --> 34:06.580 that has been dedicated to foreign gods. 34:06.640 --> 34:09.240 These are all things in the Torah. 34:09.880 --> 34:16.300 And the whole situation is that, again, you have these anal retentive 34:16.300 --> 34:24.660 Pharisee believers who are trying to put all of the oral Torah upon the believers. 34:24.980 --> 34:27.340 Upon the Gentile believers. 34:27.760 --> 34:31.580 There are things that don't even apply to Gentile believers such as circumcision. 34:31.580 --> 34:39.600 Since when does this sign of the covenant between God and Abraham that all the land 34:39.600 --> 34:43.760 from the Euphrates to the Nile belongs to the sons of Israel? 34:44.280 --> 34:49.240 Gentiles don't get to get in on that unless they want to. 34:49.640 --> 34:57.560 But to enter into the covenant with Yeshua, into the renewed covenant, 34:58.020 --> 35:02.510 that doesn't require Gentiles to go under that particular thing. 35:02.730 --> 35:03.610 That's one thing. 35:03.910 --> 35:09.610 But then when it comes to all the Takenot of the Pharisees, that's what everyone is 35:09.610 --> 35:10.030 saying. 35:10.230 --> 35:12.070 No, the Gentiles don't have to do that. 35:12.330 --> 35:17.590 The Gentiles, the Torah, and this is what it says, the Torah is taught every week in 35:17.590 --> 35:18.030 the synagogue. 35:18.550 --> 35:23.590 The Gentiles want to come in and learn the Torah like they are in Antioch, 35:23.590 --> 35:27.830 in the synagogue, then they have to abstain from these things. 35:27.830 --> 35:32.090 Because if you don't agree to that, you don't even come into the synagogue. 35:32.930 --> 35:37.750 You know, if you don't want to give up your worship of pagan gods, don't darken 35:37.750 --> 35:38.510 our doorstep. 35:39.250 --> 35:44.190 If you want to commit Erevah matters, if you want to live a homosexual 35:44.190 --> 35:47.290 lifestyle, then you don't come in. 35:48.270 --> 35:49.390 That's what it's saying. 35:49.490 --> 35:50.070 And they did. 35:50.170 --> 35:54.470 They continued to attend synagogue, sometimes church as well, on Sunday. 35:54.850 --> 35:59.230 But they attended synagogue up until the 4th century when... There was church on 35:59.230 --> 35:59.670 Sunday? 35:59.970 --> 36:03.970 There was later on, yes, the church on Sunday, the Lord's Day, right? 36:04.810 --> 36:08.370 That happened in the 2nd century, they started to split away and have 36:08.370 --> 36:08.970 different cousins. 36:09.290 --> 36:13.190 Well, we're back in the 1st century, but take us through, because you've done 36:13.190 --> 36:20.730 some research in Yeshua's dynasty, the family dynasty, and tell us a little 36:20.730 --> 36:21.370 bit of what you found. 36:21.390 --> 36:25.770 This is part of the greatest story never told, because they took a sharp right turn 36:25.770 --> 36:27.050 halfway through Acts. 36:27.130 --> 36:31.450 And after that, everything in the New Testament is basically about Paul and the 36:31.450 --> 36:32.110 Gentile church. 36:33.030 --> 36:35.450 So that's what happens after the Gospels. 36:35.690 --> 36:39.330 And they moved away from the Messianic Church as fast as they could. 36:40.210 --> 36:41.070 The Gentiles, yeah. 36:41.630 --> 36:46.790 And they already started to add in some of their pagan traditions. 36:46.970 --> 36:49.470 Yes, Constantine did that. 36:50.630 --> 36:54.870 Religious syncretism, you know, Christmas, Saturnalia, you know, 36:55.070 --> 36:58.550 Easter, the feast day of Easter, a Babylonian sex god. 36:59.010 --> 37:04.950 And those that did not follow that would not worship the resurrection of the Son of 37:04.950 --> 37:08.230 God on the feast day of a Babylonian sex goddess. 37:08.550 --> 37:09.090 That's right. 37:09.250 --> 37:11.350 They were declared heretics. 37:11.550 --> 37:15.310 They were called Quarto Decimans, which is Latin for 14, because they held 37:15.310 --> 37:20.850 to the 14th day of Nisan, which is the day that Yeshua was sanctified with his own 37:20.850 --> 37:26.010 blood as the day of resurrection, of the day of the crucifixion, 37:26.210 --> 37:29.030 and then the resurrection three days later. 37:29.410 --> 37:32.750 So these people were targeted for extinction. 37:32.990 --> 37:38.210 Right, because if you've got to have Good Friday and Easter Sunday and try to get 37:38.210 --> 37:41.650 three days and three nights in there, you can't do it. 37:41.890 --> 37:48.490 So anybody that celebrates the crucifixion of Yeshua on the correct day and can 37:48.490 --> 37:52.270 calculate three days and three nights correctly, we've got to annihilate these 37:52.270 --> 37:52.570 people. 37:52.830 --> 37:55.270 We've got to kill them, and that's what they did. 37:55.610 --> 37:57.630 They hunted them down and killed them. 37:57.850 --> 38:01.050 So if you could count to three, basically, you're dead. 38:01.770 --> 38:02.030 Okay? 38:02.230 --> 38:05.290 You've got to admit whatever the Pope says, that's right. 38:05.430 --> 38:05.950 That's it. 38:06.070 --> 38:06.910 The Pope is God. 38:07.270 --> 38:07.830 That's it. 38:08.010 --> 38:12.650 Now what would have happened if they hadn't taken this sharp turn into the 38:12.650 --> 38:17.110 Gentile Greek church, focused all on Paul's message, the message to the 38:17.110 --> 38:18.930 Gentiles, this is what you would have seen. 38:19.210 --> 38:23.670 Because the Messianic church continued and I swear, this is probably going to blow 38:23.670 --> 38:27.650 your mind, you'll never hear this from the pulpit, but the Jesus dynasty continued... 38:27.650 --> 38:29.630 Oh, that's why you're here and not behind a pulpit. 38:29.810 --> 38:30.610 Okay, go ahead. 38:30.690 --> 38:34.010 The Jesus dynasty continued to build the Messianic church. 38:34.550 --> 38:36.190 And this is all in Scripture. 38:36.370 --> 38:37.910 Of course, there's plenty of argument about it. 38:38.330 --> 38:40.870 Okay, now we're going to separate the Jesus dynasty. 38:41.050 --> 38:46.450 We're not talking about him and Mary Magdalene getting together and having 38:46.450 --> 38:50.910 offspring that will become the kings of Europe. 38:51.070 --> 38:52.350 We're not talking about that. 38:52.390 --> 38:53.570 We're not talking about that. 38:53.770 --> 38:56.110 We're talking about the Yeshua dynasty. 38:56.410 --> 38:59.290 Okay, now we've clarified that. 39:00.070 --> 39:01.990 This is fascinating, ladies and gentlemen. 39:01.990 --> 39:04.210 His parents were Joseph and Miriam, we know about them. 39:04.310 --> 39:05.030 Joseph and Miriam. 39:05.130 --> 39:07.470 But Joseph had a brother named Cleopas. 39:07.990 --> 39:12.430 And Miriam had a cousin, Elisheva, who married Zachariah. 39:12.590 --> 39:16.250 They gave birth to John the Baptist, the second Messiah. 39:17.670 --> 39:18.630 He was... 39:18.630 --> 39:20.850 There was the prophecy of the two Messiahs. 39:21.310 --> 39:22.870 All the Hebrews at that time knew it. 39:23.150 --> 39:25.890 Now, Yeshua was a Messiah, but he was also the Son of God. 39:26.530 --> 39:27.690 There was a difference. 39:28.190 --> 39:34.270 But Cleopas, the brother of Joseph, he had two sons, James and John, 39:34.430 --> 39:36.870 and Jude Thaddeus, who both became apostles. 39:37.450 --> 39:40.370 So these were relatives of Yeshua who became apostles. 39:40.910 --> 39:45.650 He also had a daughter, Salome, who married Zebedee, and she had two sons, 39:45.810 --> 39:47.650 who also became apostles. 39:47.830 --> 39:51.450 That's James the Greater and John, the Apostle John. 39:52.390 --> 39:55.490 Cleopas also had another son, Simeon. 39:55.910 --> 39:57.110 And Simeon took over. 39:57.370 --> 40:01.750 Now, after the crucifixion of Yeshua, the Messianic Church in the very, 40:01.850 --> 40:07.150 very difficult times was taken over by James the Just, who was a very righteous 40:07.150 --> 40:07.670 man. 40:08.250 --> 40:12.850 He was a very Orthodox Jew, but he was a believer in the Messiah. 40:13.310 --> 40:15.470 After he was, all of these people were... Right. 40:15.590 --> 40:19.350 He was not a Pharisee as we think of Orthodox Jews today. 40:19.350 --> 40:20.990 He was very definitely a believer. 40:21.190 --> 40:26.810 He was dedicated to the accuracy of the Torah and living it. 40:26.890 --> 40:32.530 But in many ways, he was a perfect person for the times because he satisfied the 40:32.530 --> 40:39.090 Jews' fears about people leaving the law, and yet was a believer, a very strong 40:39.090 --> 40:39.990 believer in the Messiah. 40:40.110 --> 40:43.510 In fact, he was crucified for it by the temple priests. 40:43.650 --> 40:48.010 He was stoned to death by the temple priests, as were all of these descendants 40:48.010 --> 40:49.150 of Yeshua. 40:49.670 --> 40:56.450 But after James the Just was stoned to death for expressing a belief in the 40:56.450 --> 41:00.510 Messiah, they wanted him to tamp that down on Passover. 41:00.950 --> 41:02.950 Instead, he went out and said, what do you expect me to say? 41:02.950 --> 41:05.030 He's sitting on the right hand of God and will return. 41:05.730 --> 41:08.750 So, you know, he's the son of God. 41:08.950 --> 41:10.890 So they didn't get what they wanted. 41:10.990 --> 41:12.970 So they had Doug stoned to death. 41:14.010 --> 41:16.350 Simeon took over the Messianic church at that point. 41:16.630 --> 41:21.570 And Simeon was the son of Cleopas and Miriam, the uncle of Yeshua. 41:21.890 --> 41:27.450 He took over the church, and he was the one who led the flight to Pella when the 41:27.450 --> 41:29.730 Romans surrounded the church in Jerusalem. 41:30.230 --> 41:32.890 And they went to Pella and saved the Messianic church. 41:33.250 --> 41:37.530 The Pharisees went to Jamnia and reorganized the Judaic church. 41:37.670 --> 41:40.710 All the other sects were wiped out. 41:41.490 --> 41:46.490 You know, the Zealots, the Essenes, all of them, the Sadducees were all wiped 41:46.490 --> 41:46.690 out. 41:46.750 --> 41:48.010 Only the Pharisees and the Nazarenes. 41:48.010 --> 41:51.090 Right, the Sadducees, that's the Zadakim priests. 41:51.270 --> 41:53.090 They are in charge of the temple. 41:53.810 --> 41:57.550 The Pharisees, however, in charge of the Sanhedrin, they went out to Yavneh, 41:57.650 --> 41:59.110 and that's where they started their academy. 41:59.550 --> 42:02.250 I was just... 42:02.250 --> 42:03.990 These are the two sinners now. 42:04.250 --> 42:10.590 Taking objection to your terminology, Jewish church, speaking of the Pharisees, 42:10.650 --> 42:12.210 because... No, you're right. 42:12.370 --> 42:16.450 They instituted Phariseeism in a large way. 42:16.790 --> 42:18.490 Before they were a sect... Right, they were in control. 42:18.650 --> 42:19.710 All the priests are dead. 42:20.090 --> 42:21.710 Now it became Judaism. 42:21.930 --> 42:26.870 Before they were a sect, now it became Judaism and reinforced by law. 42:26.870 --> 42:28.750 So after... 42:28.750 --> 42:34.170 James suggests Yeshua's brother guided the church for 30 difficult years. 42:34.970 --> 42:40.050 Simeon led them in the escape to Pella, where many of them went on to Sepharad in 42:40.050 --> 42:42.890 Spain and took the Hebrew Gospels with them. 42:43.590 --> 42:48.470 After his crucifixion, his brother Jude took over the church. 42:48.570 --> 42:52.490 Very aged at this time, his youngest brother in his 90s, probably 95, 42:52.650 --> 42:53.610 when he took over the church. 42:54.110 --> 42:57.430 And Jude's two grandsons also were leaders in the church. 42:57.770 --> 43:02.610 They were also crucified by Trajan, the Roman emperor. 43:03.110 --> 43:10.550 But their son, one of their sons, Judah Kyrios, which means Judah of Christ, 43:11.550 --> 43:15.410 was the last Jewish Christian bishop of Jerusalem. 43:15.990 --> 43:18.210 What happened under Constantine... 43:18.210 --> 43:19.510 And you don't hear about any of this. 43:19.730 --> 43:21.370 Have you ever heard this? 43:21.370 --> 43:24.570 Do not think of the pointy hat. 43:24.990 --> 43:26.970 These are leaders. 43:27.310 --> 43:32.230 They are men that lived, wore normal clothes like normal people do, 43:32.490 --> 43:33.890 and they were elders. 43:34.130 --> 43:36.670 They were responsible and they were overseers. 43:36.870 --> 43:37.510 No fish hats. 43:37.510 --> 43:38.630 No, that's exactly right. 43:38.850 --> 43:41.310 He was the leader of the movement. 43:41.550 --> 43:44.090 Later, they called him a bishop. 43:44.270 --> 43:46.010 They reinvented the church. 43:47.250 --> 43:50.570 He would have never been called a bishop in his time at all. 43:50.590 --> 43:50.870 Right. 43:51.470 --> 43:54.370 And he wouldn't have worn a fish hat or anything like that. 43:55.770 --> 43:59.610 But again, this is what in our culture, everyone thinks of that. 43:59.770 --> 44:03.350 So that's why the terminology, that's why the little fight with the 44:03.350 --> 44:08.150 terminology, the little backlash from me because I know how you're using the 44:08.150 --> 44:13.710 terminology and I'm interpreting it from a Hebraic perspective. 44:14.030 --> 44:16.670 You know, what it's like really living in Israel. 44:16.890 --> 44:18.290 That's the whole conflict, isn't it? 44:18.330 --> 44:22.930 We've got this Greek perspective that has been laid upon us in the Bibles we all 44:22.930 --> 44:23.550 have and read. 44:23.970 --> 44:27.050 And then we've got the Hebrew perspective which has some really significant 44:27.050 --> 44:27.530 differences. 44:28.290 --> 44:30.270 It tells the same story. 44:30.770 --> 44:31.450 And the Hebrew Gospels. 44:32.230 --> 44:33.810 It's still the story of the Gospels. 44:33.930 --> 44:34.970 It's still the sacred word. 44:34.970 --> 44:35.270 Right. 44:35.390 --> 44:37.530 But there are significant differences. 44:37.950 --> 44:38.250 Absolutely. 44:38.870 --> 44:44.790 Crucially important to understanding our Messiah who walked the earth and was a 44:44.790 --> 44:45.110 Jew. 44:45.110 --> 44:50.330 And this, ladies and gentlemen, this is why we are taking these paths down 44:50.330 --> 44:57.430 here so that, you know, okay the story remains the same except there are 44:57.430 --> 45:04.450 significant differences and undertones and things that you will never see in Greek. 45:04.730 --> 45:05.990 You'll never see in English. 45:06.190 --> 45:09.830 You'll read the English Bible and New Testament the rest of your life unless 45:09.830 --> 45:14.450 you're reading the chronological Gospels in which I do all the notations so you can 45:14.450 --> 45:15.090 understand it. 45:15.210 --> 45:19.010 But you'll read right past these things and never know what it's talking about. 45:19.130 --> 45:19.590 Right. 45:19.750 --> 45:22.270 I mean the fact is, the truth and this is the truth. 45:22.790 --> 45:26.490 The Greek Gospels, because the Messianic Church was a threat to them, they 45:26.490 --> 45:31.990 basically wrote the Hebrew Messiah out of the message and made him a Greek Christ. 45:32.350 --> 45:37.450 They wrote the Messianic Church out of Church history as if it didn't exist and 45:37.450 --> 45:43.050 wasn't the central player in the early centuries in spreading the Word to all 45:43.050 --> 45:46.990 corners of the earth before the Rome Church even came into being. 45:47.490 --> 45:50.310 And also it wrote the Hebrew Gospels out. 45:50.390 --> 45:51.310 They didn't exist. 45:51.790 --> 45:52.430 And that's the story. 45:52.550 --> 45:54.770 Even though all the early Church Fathers said they did. 45:54.930 --> 45:58.630 75 attestations to them in the early Church literature. 45:59.850 --> 46:02.810 Nobody, nobody said that they didn't exist. 46:03.290 --> 46:04.330 You know, nobody did. 46:04.410 --> 46:05.550 They were quotations of the Hebrew Gospels. 46:05.550 --> 46:11.890 But now you even suggest that they do exist and I'll tell you the termites come 46:11.890 --> 46:12.870 out of the woodwork. 46:13.030 --> 46:16.750 If you're in seminary you better pick another profession because you are not 46:16.750 --> 46:17.150 getting it. 46:17.390 --> 46:18.850 You're not getting a piece of paper. 46:19.870 --> 46:21.010 You're not getting it. 46:21.210 --> 46:23.610 Now this is what really happened. 46:23.730 --> 46:25.050 The story never told. 46:25.130 --> 46:26.590 And you can see it on this chart right here. 46:26.990 --> 46:31.230 And you can see that the right side of the chart, the Greek Roman Tradition is what 46:31.230 --> 46:31.990 we get taught. 46:32.450 --> 46:36.630 But this left part of the chart you see, and that's the Messianic Tradition started 46:36.630 --> 46:37.410 much earlier. 46:37.570 --> 46:39.690 The original church was that of the Messiah. 46:39.950 --> 46:41.030 The Messianic Church. 46:41.430 --> 46:43.430 And it you know, it divided into two parts. 46:43.570 --> 46:45.290 The followers of John were the Ebionites. 46:45.430 --> 46:48.930 And they went a little different direction in doctrine, but they were believers. 46:49.430 --> 46:54.590 And then the Nazarenes, the Nazarene were the followers of the Messiah. 46:54.790 --> 46:57.510 And the Apostles were also followers of the Messiah. 46:57.690 --> 47:02.190 So they went out into all corners of the world and started the Apostolic Church we 47:02.190 --> 47:05.810 call it, or the Apostolic Churches which gradually became, most of them became 47:05.810 --> 47:06.910 Gentile Churches. 47:07.030 --> 47:08.770 But not all of them. 47:08.970 --> 47:14.350 And again, when we say the word church it's not a stained glass pile of brick on 47:14.350 --> 47:16.170 a corner with a steeple on it. 47:16.410 --> 47:19.210 They met in the home throughout the book of Acts. 47:20.030 --> 47:21.110 Good point. 47:21.270 --> 47:23.190 Better to say congregations. 47:23.190 --> 47:23.850 That's right. 47:23.950 --> 47:24.810 It's congregation. 47:25.350 --> 47:26.830 They got together in the circle. 47:27.390 --> 47:33.270 It wasn't like they had somebody the Holy Pontiff sitting up front disseminating 47:33.270 --> 47:33.850 information. 47:34.010 --> 47:38.030 No, everyone, everyone had a psalm, a hymn, a revelation. 47:38.510 --> 47:40.130 It was real life. 47:40.250 --> 47:42.630 And that's why all the synagogues started in the home. 47:43.270 --> 47:46.770 And all the synagogues are where no one can speak. 47:47.050 --> 47:49.870 The words that mean in Hebrew were congregations really. 47:50.210 --> 47:53.290 In Greek became ecclesiastica and synagogue. 47:53.910 --> 47:58.530 And then they separated the meaning of those two as one was uniquely Jewish and 47:58.530 --> 47:59.350 one was Christian. 47:59.590 --> 47:59.970 Never. 48:00.130 --> 48:04.590 That's not the way it was written in the Bible, in the Gospels. 48:04.790 --> 48:08.410 It was congregations, groups of believers. 48:08.810 --> 48:09.590 So they weren't churches. 48:10.350 --> 48:13.550 But what you have, they weren't churches in the sense of buildings. 48:13.790 --> 48:16.590 They were churches in the sense of congregants. 48:16.870 --> 48:18.270 Not of buildings. 48:18.510 --> 48:19.390 Don't think of buildings. 48:19.550 --> 48:25.050 It was these apostolic churches, the apostles, who took and created the 48:25.050 --> 48:25.590 Greek church. 48:25.730 --> 48:31.470 Remember, we've already been decades and even centuries down the road before there 48:31.470 --> 48:36.170 are many Greeks until they overwhelmed the number of Jewish Christians that were out 48:36.170 --> 48:36.350 there. 48:36.690 --> 48:38.150 But you had the Greek church start... 48:38.150 --> 48:43.290 Just because of the proliferation of the Gospel in the Gentile world. 48:43.570 --> 48:44.610 They were catching on. 48:45.010 --> 48:49.250 And so eventually there became more Gentiles than Jews. 48:49.350 --> 48:53.130 But the Jews were the ones that gave their lives to get the good news of their 48:53.130 --> 48:55.050 Messiah out to the Gentile world. 48:55.370 --> 48:58.270 And then the Gentiles started mixing in their pagan sun worship. 48:58.470 --> 48:59.210 They did. 48:59.370 --> 49:00.750 Constantine in particular. 49:01.310 --> 49:04.890 You know, Christmas, Saturnalia, Easter, the feast day of Easter. 49:05.270 --> 49:11.190 And of course they turned Sukkot into All Hallows Eve, the day of the dead. 49:11.710 --> 49:12.350 Halloween. 49:12.910 --> 49:14.490 That never quite took. 49:14.790 --> 49:15.470 Right, right. 49:15.610 --> 49:16.310 But they tried. 49:16.590 --> 49:21.390 That was really Samween, the worship of the god of death. 49:21.710 --> 49:27.350 But then the Catholic church tried to change it into, they tried to sanctify 49:27.350 --> 49:29.790 this worship of the god of death. 49:30.190 --> 49:31.570 And so now we see what happened. 49:31.930 --> 49:35.330 Okay, we're going to sanctify what God says can't be sanctified. 49:35.610 --> 49:37.070 Do not learn the way of the heathen. 49:37.350 --> 49:39.650 And they did what the heathen do. 49:39.930 --> 49:41.490 And now what do we see in our culture? 49:41.910 --> 49:45.850 Did the church really reform Halloween? 49:46.190 --> 49:49.950 Or is it still the worship and celebration of the god of death? 49:50.550 --> 49:51.470 It still is. 49:52.090 --> 49:53.290 They couldn't do it. 49:53.530 --> 49:56.150 They didn't do it because they were disobeying the Torah. 49:56.590 --> 49:57.330 Don't do this! 49:57.650 --> 50:00.990 And they did it specifically and this is not hidden doctrine. 50:01.490 --> 50:06.830 They were openly saying they were changing the feast days in order to not be 50:06.830 --> 50:09.650 celebrating at the same time as the Jews. 50:09.970 --> 50:12.430 So you can see how that rankled the Messianic church. 50:12.630 --> 50:19.190 They were not going to start worshiping the crucifixion of their Messiah on the 50:19.190 --> 50:20.750 feast day of Easter. 50:20.750 --> 50:23.170 And so, remember... 50:23.170 --> 50:27.050 They got a good Friday when Dag on the Fish got his worship. 50:27.350 --> 50:28.430 That's what Rome did. 50:28.710 --> 50:34.070 Instead of on the day that the Passover lamb is sacrificed the 14th. 50:34.170 --> 50:36.050 That's where the fish symbol comes from. 50:36.470 --> 50:38.010 But keep this in mind. 50:38.830 --> 50:41.270 Any day is a good day to worship the Messiah. 50:41.370 --> 50:42.410 I don't care what day it is. 50:42.470 --> 50:44.590 Whether it's Easter or the 25th of December. 50:44.930 --> 50:47.590 Any day is a great day to worship the Messiah. 50:48.110 --> 50:53.830 But just be aware when your church puts on this marquee, come worship Easter with us. 50:53.930 --> 50:56.050 Just remember where that came from. 50:56.050 --> 50:59.030 Yeah, just imagine the bare-breasted guy's fertility. 50:59.390 --> 51:03.310 You might as well put the front cover playboy up in front of the church. 51:03.690 --> 51:04.750 Come worship Easter. 51:05.030 --> 51:06.370 Because that's what it is. 51:06.550 --> 51:09.390 So now Messianics are declared heretics because they refuse. 51:09.790 --> 51:11.250 They are going to imitate Yeshua. 51:11.410 --> 51:12.490 They're going to imitate the Messiah. 51:12.590 --> 51:18.010 And they're going to worship on the feast days that are established and commanded of 51:18.010 --> 51:19.570 them in the world. 51:19.670 --> 51:24.990 Keep these feasts forever because they're all, as Shaul said, these are all 51:24.990 --> 51:28.290 prophetic shadow pictures of good things to come. 51:28.450 --> 51:32.970 They are the mechanism whereby the Almighty tells us the end of time from the 51:32.970 --> 51:33.750 very beginning. 51:34.170 --> 51:40.910 These are his kadosh mikra, his holy rehearsals and these rehearsals go on 51:40.910 --> 51:41.570 forever. 51:42.010 --> 51:47.050 The feast of tabernacles was not fulfilled when the word was made flesh and 51:47.050 --> 51:48.330 tabernacled among us. 51:48.490 --> 51:53.450 It's not even fulfilled in the millennial reign when Yeshua tabernacles on earth and 51:53.450 --> 51:58.650 everyone must go to his birthday party in Jerusalem for the feast of tabernacles. 51:58.790 --> 52:01.250 And if they don't, it's not going to rain on them. 52:01.590 --> 52:07.270 No, it's not fulfilled until the last time when the new heaven and new earth, 52:07.590 --> 52:12.550 new Jerusalem comes down and we tabernacle with the Father and with Yeshua forever. 52:27.870 --> 52:29.090 Shabbat shalom, Torah fans. 52:29.510 --> 52:30.590 Have a good week. 52:30.650 --> 52:35.690 We'll see you back here next week for the rest of the greatest story never told. 52:36.650 --> 52:37.430 Bye-bye.
