Land of Promise?

[Shmanu YAH]

shalom alychem, "ALL praises and glory to the most high YHWH" and "baruka habo b'ha'shem YHWH" blessed the coming in the name of YHWH >>> YAHushua"

I pray the best for each of you and your households. In this particular edifying communication I'd like to look into a topic many take for granted without reaping or gleaning it's true intent. The much talked about and still fought over topic still today is "the Land of Promise" first given to Abram as we all have read in b'reshyth aka Genesis 15:18, In the same day YHWH made a covenant with Abram, saying, "Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates": this was a covenant with a particular intent - l'zra-k meaning: to YOUR seed.

To this very day, this very hour, many are figting over the bounderies of YHWH's covenant and have come up with several different ideologies some are willing to die for but lets look at what the scripture has to say on the matter. In our attemp to understand the north, east, south and west bounderies we have read in the word: 

NORTH - Debarym 11:24, "Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be". - also Joshua 1:3-4, "Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast". - also the prophet Ezekiel wrote in 47:15-17, "and this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad; 16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazar-hatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran. 17 And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side".

EAST - b'midbar 34:10-12, "and ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham: 11 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward: 12 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about". - also the prophet Ezekiel wrote in 47:18, " ...and the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side".

SOUTH - shm'ote 23:31, "...and I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee". - also the prophet Ezekiel wrote in 47:19, "...and the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward".

WEST - b'midbar 34:6, "...and as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border. - also the prophet Ezekiel wrote in 47:20, "....the west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side".
These are the established bounderies we get from the word - so as far as geographical ideologies "to each his own", but what I'm more interested into looking at and revealing is to WHOM this Land is Promised to! We as well as many have in the past years often took for granted that people residing in the land of Israel are fulfilling prophecy and are the descendants of Abraham ...WRONG! Many of those that are reluctant or afraid to accept the "bryt chdshah" aka "new covenant" are that way for a reason ...truth will expose their lies.

Let us that dont fear truth look into what our annointed had to say on the matter. In the 8th chapter of the testimony of John, Yahushua was going back and forth with the Pharisees or as I call them "Pharisee-nots" in a dialogue we will revisit, John 8:33-47, ... Then said Yahushua to those Jews which believed on him, "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free". 33 They answered him, "We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?" 34 Yahushua answered them, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father". 39 They answered and said unto him, "Abraham is our father". Yahushua saith unto them, "IF ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of Elohym: this did not Abraham. 41 Ye do the deeds of YOUR father". Then said they to him, "We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even Elohym". 42 Yahushua said unto them, "IF Elohym were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from Elohym; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of YOUR father the devil, and the lusts of YOUR father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of Elohym heareth Elohym’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of Elohym". .....- this reading states a lot, but what we wanna focus on is a couple statements:

- first the statement: "We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man": - and Yahushua responded: "I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you". - first I wanna know where their minds were at when they said they were "never in bondage to any man", weren't they under Roman occupation? ..... see how delusional the corrupt mind is? 

fact: The only so-called Israelites that were never under bondage were the descendants of EDOM .....OH OH!

and as far as them boasting about being descended from Abraham, Yahushua was speaking he knew of their "physical lineage" and nothing beyond that.

Now let's look at the correction h'mashiach had to put on their boasting as far as dealing with the promise ( spiritual not just physical ). In verse 39-40 we read, They answered and said unto him, "Abraham is our father". Yahushua saith unto them, "IF ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of Elohym: this did not Abraham". .....- Now Yahushua is dealing with them on a higher level >>> what it really means to be Abraham's seed! , noticed how he stated IF you were Abraham's ( the father of faith ) children, you would DO and not just run your mouths >>> the very same WORKS of Abraham.

Yahushua also goes on to Identify their true father in verses 41- 44 as he stated: "Ye do the deeds of YOUR father.." - and also he stated: "Ye are of YOUR father the devil, and the lusts of YOUR father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it". .....- this is a "knock out" blow to those that don't believe in Yahushua as h'mashiach!

And speaking of Abraham, why do all the talking heads around the world NOT understand a simple thing about this man also seeing the perfect Priesthood? ( like the rest of those living in Salem ).

In b'reshyth / genesis chapter 14 we read of melek tzadiq aka Melchizedek king of Salem, and that got twisted by the unlearned that this was what's called a "christophany" these days ...but let's examine:

Yahushua said: "Abraham rejoiced to see my DAY" ...(John 8:56-58) he didn't say "Abraham rejoiced to see YHWH or see MYSELF", ...which would be the greatest of rejoicing that definitely would have been mentioned, He simply meant Abraham rejoiced to see the "melek tzadiq Priesthood" which was a shadow figure of Yahshua's coming Kingdom! ...so much that Abraham gladly gave THAT Priest a tenth of all that he had.

And how in the world can ANYBODY claim the promise of Abraham if their father is really h'shatan and they too blind to see or accept Yahushua? In verse 47 he boldy states: "because ye are not of Elohym!" .....- nothing more to debate here! How can those NOT of Elohym be heirs of his promise?, even the promise of a particular land. I have heard some of the mis-informed christians state that "this promise is no longer for the biblical hebrews anyway" ..... did these delusional religious and lost nutcases ever read that the Most High YHWH said: " I CHANGE NOT " , and do they not understand what apostle Paul meant in Romans 9:3-4, "...For I could wish that myself were accursed from mashiach for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of Elohym, and the PROMISES"; -..... also, Romans 11:1 & 29, "I say then, hath Elohym cast away his people? ELOHYM FORBID!. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin". -..... and vs. 29, "For the gifts and calling of Elohym are WITHOUT repentance".

There is a question many fail to ponder or ask themselves about the current occupants of the land of Israel, - If in torah the occupation of the holy land is conditional based on the righteous behavior required by the covenant (as in Deut. 4:26) or else the REAL Israelites will quickly be put out, (and it did happen) ...how then can the inhabitants today get away with so much wickedness and allowed to stay unless the most high YHWH forgot his own covenant or he is doubleminded and unfair? ......- I seriously doubt it! Obviously according to past righteous evictions - >>> These AIN'T the people!

As people in what's called today the "middle east" and surrounding areas continue to fight over land and boundary lines from a promise given in b'reshyth aka Genesis 15:18, all I can think to ask is: are they or even we worthy to receive that promise?, selah..... shalom
