Comparing the Hebrews 7:11 passage

with the fact that our Lord Yeshua fulfilled the Aaronic Priesthood in the flesh!

Lord Yeshua was born the fulfillment

of the high priest families of Yeshua, of Zadok, of high priest Aaron of the Aaronic priesthood.

However, our Lord Yeshua could never have been an Aaronic priest, simply because He had no earthly father. But His virgin mother Miriam was the perfect fulfillment of two family lines, that of king David

and also that of high priest Zadok of Aaron!

Today, in the 21st Century, the year 2013, 1/4 of the real identity of our Lord Yeshua is still not being taught, either in the Messianic Body or in the Church world. What is it?

Lord Yeshua received absolute Perfection from Heaven from His Father, Almighty God, and the fulfillment of two family lines from His mother: the family of king David from the tribe of Judah and the family of Aaron from the tribe of Levi.

Jeremiah 33:17, 18, 24, and Zechariah 3 & 6

Lord Yeshua is the perfect fulfillment of the high priest families of Yeshua and of Zadok of Aaron, of the Aaronic priesthood, and also the fulfillment of the line of kings from king David, through the Seed of Genesis 3:15, the Seed of Eve, the Seed of woman, which Yeshua received at His Conception from His mother. Yeshua’s Blood sacrifice would never have been accepted by God, but for the fact that Yeshua is a Son of Zadok from His mother Miriam and also a Priest

from His Father. See Ezekiel 43:18 & 44:15, 16

Yeshua is KING & HIGH PRIEST of Heaven!

Yeshua fulfilled the earthly line of kings and priests!

Revealing Mysteries of the Blood of Yeshua! The Lamb of God, from Aaron, and the Lion of Judah! Comparing the Hebrews 7:11 passage with the fact that Lord Yeshua fulfilled the Aaronic Priesthood in the flesh! This paper has been written because Yeshua is the real physical fulfillment of the Aaronic priesthood in the flesh, and this Truth is not being taught today in either the Messianic or the Church Body. This paper addresses the Hebrews 7:11 passage. I had been asked to write my comments, specifically referring to this great mystery of our Lord Yeshua, and just how He fulfilled the Aaronic priesthood in the flesh, and yet was never an Aaronic priest ... and just how these facts, found both in the Tanakh, the Hebrew Holy Scriptures, and in the New Covenant Scriptures do not violate the Hebrews 7:11-14 passage, but actually add an even greater accuracy to better understanding this great mystery about our Lord Yeshua. For the last 20 years the Lord Yeshua has lead me through many revelations from both the Hebrew Scriptures and also from the New Covenant, showing me this great Truth!

So let’s begin by looking at the Hebrews 7:11-14 passage …

11 “Therefore if Perfection were through the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the Torah) what further need was there that another Priest should rise according to the Order of Melchi Zedek and not be called according to the order of Aaron. Here we are looking at our Lord Yeshua’s Priesthood which comes from His Father. And since priesthood was always passed from father to son, Yeshua’s Priesthood, the Order of Melchi Zedek Priesthood, was given to Him by His Father. This passage clearly states that Yeshua was definitely not a priest from the Aaronic priesthood through an earthly father, being that our Lord Yeshua had no earthly father. Lord Yeshua is Priest of God Most High; He is Head of the Order of the Melchi-Zedek Priesthood of Heaven. (Genesis 14:18-24; Psalm 110:1-4; Hebrews 7:1-28)

6

12 “For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law. 13 For He of whom these things are spoken of belongs to another tribe, from which no man has officiated at the Altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.” The Hebrews 7:11 passage has to do with Yeshua’s Priesthood through His Father. But for this (unknown) author of Hebrews to then state that our Lord Yeshua came from the tribe of Judah means that now this author can only be referring to Yeshua’s geneology from His mother Miriam.

Geneology was generally only related to the father. Does this mean that the writer of Hebrews 1) is basing his statement on the words that the angel Gabriel spoke to Miriam? “He will be Great, and will be called the Son of the Highest, and the LORD God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will Reign over the House of Jacob forever, and of His Kingdom there will be no end!” Luke 1:32, 33 Or does this mean that Yeshua is from Judah because 2) Miriam’s earthly father was the fulfillment of David’s line, and that Miriam, as a daughter of Judah, and perhaps as the only child of her parents received the family inheritance for her Son, according to the laws of inheritance set up in Leviticus 17? Or does this mean that because 3) Miriam is married to Yosef who is from the line of David, that Yeshua’s lineage is from Judah? Whatever all the real reasons, we know that Yeshua is born from Judah through His mother. Yeshua, having no earthly father is the fulfillment of ‘the Seed’ coming from His mother Miriam.

7

So being we are told that Yeshua rose from the tribe of Judah, by the only logical conclusion, through His mother Miriam, then how can we now neglect so great a Truth because the Scriptures clearly reveal in both the Tanakh and also in the New Covenant that Miriam’s geneology, besides coming from David, of Judah, had to also be from the family of the high priest of Aaron, of Levi. But Miriam was not just from Aaron; Miriam carried the highest fulfillment of the high priest family line of high priest Yehoshua (Yeshua) of high priest Zadok, of high priest Aaron. We are able to see this conclusion because the Old Testament Scriptures clearly reveal that Messiah would not only come from Aaron, but also from the high priest family of Yeshua of high priest Zadok. Also the Hebrew word for the family relationship between Miriam and Elisheva tells us that Miriam was ‘a close relative’ (karov) to Elisheva. (Luke 1: 36) What was their relationship?

What God did, He did in absolute Perfection!

This paper is written to show the evidence that Miriam is the perfect fulfillment of two families, that of king David and also that of high priest Zadok! Miriam carried ‘the Seed’ of Genesis 3:15, ‘this Seed’ of Eve, overshadowed by God the Holy Spirit, bringing the Conception of Yeshua in the womb of the virgin Miriam. That ‘Seed’ carried in it the fulfillment of two family lines.

Since both the Tanakh Scripture prophesies and New Covenant reveal that Miriam had to also be from Aaron, and since Yeshua had no earthly father, then Yeshua had to also be a son of Aaron through His virgin mother Miriam. Yeshua however could never have been an Aaronic priest, because He had no earthly father.

God has placed much evidence of this Great Truth in His Holy Scriptures. We will look at the main proofs that the LORD has shown me over the last 20 years, beginning with the Tanakh …

8

First, we are dealing with ABSOULTE PERFECTION of our Lord Yeshua, both from what He received from His Father in Heaven, and what He received from His mother!

Yeshua is the absolute PERFECT ATONEMENT both for His land and also for His people. Deuteronomy 32:43

Yeshua is physically what He received from His mother. (Genesis 3:15, ‘the Seed’ of woman)

Yeshua is Spiritually what He received from His Father, the Almighty God, His Father in Heaven, by the Power of God, the Holy Spirit!

Yeshua is THE KING of Heaven! He is the KING of Kings and the LORD of Lords! He is THE GREAT HIGH PRIEST of Heaven!

Yeshua is the only begotten Son of God! John 1:18 and John 5:25

Yeshua is ‘the Son of Man’ from His mother! John 5:27

LORD Yeshua is the physical fulfillment of the line of kings from David. (Luke 1:32) Yeshua is also the physical fulfillment of the high priest family of Yehoshua (Yeshua) from the high priest family of Zadok of Aaron!

Now let’s look at these Scripture proofs …

By the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter is established … Deuteronomy 19:15

9

Genesis 3:15 … Messiah would come from the Seed of woman, the Seed of Eve, and destroy Satan, who would bruise His heal. Genesis 14:18 Abram was Blessed by a Man (pre-incarnate Yeshua: God) with three titles. Melchi Zedek (my King of Righteousness), King of Salem, and Priest of God Most High. And ‘the Seed’ carried in Abram was then also given a divine King–Priest Blessing by this Mystery Man. Abram, who had walked with the real God for many years, would never have given tithes to any ordinary man; but he gave tithes to this Man, a theophany of his God! (Genesis 14:18-22)

Jeremiah 23: 5, 6 The Branch, the Messiah, would be KING, coming from the line of king David. And then God repeated this:

Jeremiah 33: 15-18, 24 God said the Branch, the Messiah,

would be a Man who will sit on the throne of His father David …

But then God added something new, saying there will be a Man (verse 18) who will represent the family of Aaron (notice it does not say that this Man will be Aaronic priest), and this Man will do

a Sacrifice for all days (Hebrew, kol hayamim)!

God then also added this most important verse # 24 … “the two families God had chosen,” that of king David and of high priest Aaron, related to the coming Branch of Righteousness!

The two families that God has chosen!

What is God saying?

Here is the mystery key that many have been searching for. Just as some parents might pre-arrange the marriage of their son to a bride of a certain family, God is saying that God had pre-

arranged the birth of His Son thru these two families, from David

and from Aaron, from the line of kings from David and the line of high priests (from Yeshua of Zadok) of Aaron.

10

These would be coming from ‘this SEED’ of Genesis 3:15, all converging in a virgin, a young Jewish woman named Miriam, fulfilling the Isaiah 7:14 passage, “…the virgin shall be with Child and shall bring forth a Son who shall be called ‘Emmanu El’, God with us.” And this Child, the Lamb of God [slain from the foun-dation of the world, (Revelation 13:8)], would also have no earthly father, and therefore could never be a priest of Aaron. But Yeshua is a Son of Aaron through His betrothed virgin mother Miriam.

But why was it absolutely necessary for ‘Emmanu El’

to be born from a virgin? His Blood had to be Sinless! Because the sins of the fathers were passed to the children, to the 3

rd and 4

th generations (Exodus 20:5; 34:7); so ‘Emmanu El’

had no earthly father. Yeshua’s mother’s blood, with her sins, was unable to pass across the placenta to her Baby Son. (Isaiah 7:14)

So we read in Jeremiah 33:15-24, that there will be ‘a Man’ who will be coming, who will be growing up from David, who will be the fulfillment of the Seed of Genesis 3:15, the Seed of woman, the Seed of Eve. He will represent both king David and He will also represent the Aaronic priests (though not be an Aaronic priest) through this Seed from His mother (Miriam). As a representative of the Aaronic priesthood, He will make a Sacrifice that will be “for all days” (Eternal)! (verse 18) He will be the fulfillment of these two family lines, the two families that God has chosen (verse 24), that of David and that of Aaron, all from ‘this Seed’ of woman which originated in Eve created by Almighty God!

He will have no earthly father, for His Father is Almighty God. Therefore being that the priesthood can only be passed from father to son, this Man can never be a priest of Aaron, but He will be a Son of Aaron through His mother. However, He will always be the Priest of God Most High! His name will be called … ‘the Branch of Righteousness’, ‘the LORD our Righteousness!’

[Yeshua, head of the Melchi-Zedek Priesthood!]

11

But why did the Branch (‘the LORD our Righteousness’) have to become a Son of Man? Because legal authority over the earth had been given to Adam and his sons. Therefore the Son of God, our Messiah Yeshua, came to earth to save mankind from all their sins, and to reclaim legal Authority of the earth as a Son of Man; also to restore sonship on earth for His Father, the Almighty God. Psalm 8:4-8 What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than Elohim, and You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, even the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea that pass through the paths of the seas.

Psalm 115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s; but the earth He has given to the sons of Adam. Father Almighty God always desired to have a deep and close Loving relationship with His saved and redeemed sons, to be able to dwell in His fullness within these sons of God! (John 14:23)

“… of the increase of His Government, and Peace, there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and over His Kingdom, to order it and establish it with Judgment and Justice, from this time forward, even Forever!” Isaiah 9:7

Then preincarnate Yeshua, the ‘Word of God,’ in Heaven, changed the whole Aaronic Priesthood. In Ezekiel 43:18, 19 … God said that only the priests who are sons of Zadok could now approach God to offer the blood sacrifice … then God repeated this again in Ezekiel 44:15, 16 … that only priests who are sons of Zadok can come near to God, near to His table, to minister to God; they are the only ones who can offer to God the fat and the blood. All other Aaronic priests would only be able to minister to the people.

12

Yeshua presented His Sinless Blood Sacrifice before His Father in Heaven, the Almighty God, for the Salvation of all humanity! By the Word of God, which can never be broken, unless Yeshua is both a Priest, and is also a son of Zadok, Yeshua’s Father in Heaven could not and would never have

accepted Yeshua’s Blood Sacrifice! (Ezekiel 43 and 44)

Yeshua is a Priest from His Father, Almighty God; but also He is a Son of Zadok and a Son of David through His mother! Zechariah 3:8 God again announced the coming of the Branch, to a Zadok high priest named Joshua or Yehoshua [this same Zadok high priest is also called Yeshua in Ezra and Nehemiah].

Zechariah 6:6-9 God again announced to this same Zadok high priest named Yeshua for a second time the coming of the Branch. And then God said to him that the Branch will be a King on His throne [the throne of His father David], and also the Branch will also be a Priest on His throne [through His Father in Heaven].

Therefore this last of the great Messianic prophesies in the Tanakh stated that God’s Messiah would also be coming through the high priest family of Yeshua, of Zadok, of high priest Aaron. Isaiah 16:5 … In Mercy the Throne will be established. And One (King-Priest Yeshua) will sit on it in Truth, in the Tent (Ohel) of David, Judging, seeking Justice and hastening Righteouness (hastening His own Coming and the setting up of His Kingdom Reign on earth with His Wife (Bride) for 1000 years)! The authority to enter the Tent of David where the Ark was kept belonged to the Aaronic high priest Zadok, and other priests serving under him. But was king David also able to enter that tent, and brought into the Order of Melchi Zedek by God? I believe so. Psalm 110:4, God was speaking to king David, and making David a Priest in the Melchi Zedek Priesthood. All believers in Yeshua are priests, who can enter the restored Tent of David. (Amos 9:11)

13

“You … have redeemed us to God by Your (Sinless) Blood, and have made us kings and priests to our God, and we shall reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:9, 10, [Revelation 1:6]

This prophetic passage shows a future relationship of priest and king, and reveals a future time (now) when we, as the sons of God who are Yeshua’s priests and kings on earth in the Melchi Zedek Priesthood, can enter into the Presence of King-Priest Yeshua. [‘Revealing Mysteries of the Melchi Zedek Priesthood!’; this book was published in 2000, teaching the mysteries of our priesthood.]

Brief History of the Zadok Priesthood …

King David had two high priests, priest Zadok and Abiathar … this was around 1000 B.C. King Solomon removed priest Abiathar, and high priest Zadok remained on as Solomon’s only high priest. From 1000 B.C. to 165 B.C. the Zadok’s were the high priests, and were always the sole high priests in the Jerusalem Temple. Around 165 B.C., after the Maccabees defeated the Greeks and had taken back the Jerusalem Temple, and had become the high priests, usurping the Zadok high priest and Zadok priest’s role during the Hasmonean era, all in direct violation of the Word of God, given to the Zadok priest family, found in five places in Ezekiel 40-48. The Zadok priesthood went underground; and the whole Aaronic Jerusalem Temple priesthood was corrupted for the next 160 years. (The Art Scroll Publications, Yoma Edition, Volume 9, Section: ‘Kohanim Gedolim in the First and Second Temples!) Question? Would God restore the Zadok priests to their rightful position as promised high priests in the Jerusalem Temple, in order for the Messiah to be able to come to earth the first time? For it had been prophesied repeatedly, Zechariah 3:8, Zechariah 6:9-11 and Jeremiah 33:17, 18, 24; God had told us that the Messiah would definitely be coming through these two families, the high priest family of Zadok of Aaron and the family of king David.

14

Just how did God perform this Miracle? Amazingly, God began this Miracle in the opening words and in the opening scene of the New Covenant, in Luke 1! Luke 1:5-7, 9-17… an old man, priest Zechariah, and an old woman, his wife Elisheva, also of Aaron, and childless; and God said of both of them that they were righteous before God, and that they were both walking in all the ordinances blameless. What was God saying? He was saying that this old priest couple were both from the family of Zadok; for zadok means ‘righteous’. The next thing that God did was to send His angel Gabriel to speak to this old Aaronic priest Zechariah while he was there ministering at the Altar of Incense in the Jerusalem Temple. What did that tell us? It automatically told us two things about Zechariah, even before the angel Gabriel ever spoke one word to him … that he was a son of Zadok (Ezekiel 43 and 44); and that priest Zechariah was also the mystery high priest of Zadok, after over 165 years of priesthood corruption in the Jerusalem Temple! Now I will explain just how I reached these conclusions … God had said in Ezekiel 43 and 44 that only a son of Zadok would be allowed to come into God’s Presence. So by God having sent His angel Gabriel to speak to priest Zechariah, it affirmed that Zechariah was a son of Zadok. God can never break His Word! Also, angel Gabriel spoke to Zechariah while he was ministering at the Altar of Incense. The Altar of Incense was that key position God had delegated only to Aaron and to his sons who would be the future high priests from Aaron! Read God’s Word in Exodus 30:7. And since the Aaronic priesthood was passed from father to son, therefore Zechariah’s promised son, Yochanan, would then be the next mystery Zadok high priest, coming to restore the priesthood!

[Zechariah means ‘the LORD remembers’, and Elisheva means, ‘the LORD of the oath.’]

15

Why did God make sure that Zechariah’s son had to be named Yochanan (which is Hebrew for John) before he was ever born? [Yochanan means ‘God is gracious.’] Yochanan was the name given to the last recorded Zadok high priest of the second Temple period, just before the Zadok high priest and priest families were removed by the Maccabees! How God revealed this information to me is in my book on the Melchi-Zedek Priesthood, page 29, published in the year 2000.

[It is generally agreed that Yochanan, Kohen HaGadol (High Priest), lived just before or during the ‘Hasmonean era’, the period following the Chanukkah miracle, from 165 BC. (The Art Scroll Publications, Yoma Edition, Volume 9, Section: ‘Kohanim Gedolim in the First and Second Temples!)] For the LORD remembered His Word and His Promises He had

given to the sons of Zadok of Aaron! Ezekiel 40:46; 43:19; 44:15

Luke 1: 26-43 Miriam is told that her Son will reign on the throne of His father David. Then Miriam is immediately told next by angel Gabriel about her ‘karov’, (Hebrew word for close relative) Elisheva, who was now six months pregnant. And she goes to her.

What was this mystery relationship between Miriam and Elisheva? We have already looked at many of the prophesises from the Tanakh / Old Covenant Scriptures. So let’s close in and look even deeper into these amazing New Covenant opening scenes. This elderly righteous Aaronic priest couple, who were well advanced in years, were walking blameless in all the ordinances of the LORD, (evidence has now been given which reveals that they were the mystery Zadok high priest family). Zechariah’s wife Elisheva, then six months pregnant, suddenly invites an unwed, pregnant young Miriam into their home, to live with them, and to stay with them for the next three months. Wow!

16

For this old married righteous high priest couple to have invited a young betrothed pregnant woman to live with them, they must have known something very important about their relative Miriam, and possibly also of God’s prophetic Word found in Isaiah 7:14. Who was this old Aaronic priest couple in relation to Miriam?

The most logical answer is that this high priest Zechariah and Elisheva of Aaron had to be Miriam’s closest blood-kin family!

For a young virgin Jewish woman, betrothed to a Jewish man, to be told by an angel that she would become pregnant and have a Son, with no earthly father, with God being the Father of this Child, would have been unimaginable for most Jewish young women; for that could also have resulted in stoning by the Jewish community. God knew Miriam would have needed her closest family support. If Miriam could have, she would have gone to be with her own mother, if her mother was still alive. I believe that is one reason why God had Gabriel tell Miriam about the good news regarding her close relative, Elisheva. I also believe that Elisheva was her mother’s sister, Miriam’s aunt, her closest blood kin, and that this whole Zadok high priest family was all very closely related. But that is only one of the issues that we are addressing in this paper.

Yeshua’s mother, was not only from the priest family of Aaron, but Miriam had to also be from this same Zadok high priest family as Elisheva and Zechariah! This is what the Tanakh Scriptures had prophesied, and what the New Covenant Scriptures also revealed!

King Herod had appointed two (phony) high priests, and would likely have killed this whole Zadok high priest family; no Elisheva and Zechariah, and no Miriam and also no Yeshua, if their family secret had been made known publicly! Also, the need to minimize family disgrace, since Miriam, a virgin, was pregnant, and only betrothed to Yosef. Whatever all the real reasons, both Miriam’s and Yeshua’s full family identity have been kept a family secret.

17

When Miriam was pregnant with Yeshua, just prior to His birth, she had traveled many miles with her betrothed Yosef from Nazareth to Bethlehem, being ‘great with child’. Had Miriam been able to hide her pregnancy from the eyes of those in Nazareth, who daily saw her stomach getting larger? Did Miriam suffer much from an unkind Nazarene community, because of her obedience to God, and to God’s great plan for the Salvation and Redemption of mankind through her Son Yeshua? Many may have wondered what had happened to her, since she was only betrothed to Yosef. They could not be publically married. For if they would have had a formal wedding ceremony and the community marriage supper, that would have also meant the customary seven days celebration for Yosef and Miriam … the traditional Jewish bridal week. They could not do this, for that would have meant sexual relationship by Jewish wedding customs, with the wedding guests still present, and also the guests being informed of the sexual act consummating their marriage, as a traditional part of the Jewish marriage celebration before the wedding supper was over.

For the Scripture tells us that Yosef knew her not until after Yeshua’s birth. (Matthew 1:25) Even then, by Torah law, they had to wait another eight days for Yeshua’s circumcision and then 33 more days for her time of purification after giving birth to a male child, before they could enjoy physical intimacy together as husband and wife. (Leviticus 12; 3, 4) They could really not consummate their marriage by Torah until only after this divine Child, this Son of God, had been born. Many scriptures also show strong evidence that Yeshua was born on the feast of Succoth. If Yeshua was born in Bethlehem on the feast of Succoth, where was Yosef supposed to be? Normally he would have gone to Jerusalem for the fall festival of Succoth! But he would not disobey God, nor could he leave his betrothed wife and newborn Son alone by themselves in Bethlehem. (Micah 5:2) From Bethlehem to Jerusalem was only about a five mile walk.

18

Yeshua’s real Birthday was therefore kept a secret from the world in order to protect His family identity. Perhaps this is why Yeshua may never have had His own Birthday parties while on earth.

God has now revealed many points of evidence to clearly show that Yeshua was born on Succoth, the greatest celebration feast of all the feasts of the LORD, the feast of Tabernacles!

So just how did our Lord Yeshua

fulfill the Aaronic priesthood in the flesh? He did it quite naturally; in fact it happened at His Birth from His mother Miriam. Lord Yeshua was born to be a Priest from His Spiritual inheritance from His Father. At the age of 30 Yeshua received this Mantle of His full Priest Authority from the Holy Spirit; He was also born a son of Zadok through His mother!

And that is exactly the reason why Yeshua’s Sinless Blood Atonement Sacrifice was 100 % accepted by Yeshua’s Heavenly Father, because of these two conditions being met! (Genesis 14:18; Isaiah 7:14; Ezekiel 43:18, 19, and Ezekiel 44:15, 16) He is the fulfillment of the two family lines within ‘this Seed’ of woman that came from Miriam, providing all the perfect physical aspects for Yeshua’s Perfect Atonement Sacrifice for Sin for all of mankind.

When Yochanan, the mystery Zadok high priest of Aaron, the highest position of spiritual authority in the land of Israel, saw Yeshua coming to him in the Jordan river, on what basis did he submit to Yeshua? Did he recognize his Cousin? He had been told by God that upon Him whom you see the Spirit of God descending and remaining, that this would be the One who would baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire. But that had not yet happened. So why had he wanted Yeshua to baptize him first? What did Yochanan know about this Man who walked out to him in the Jordan river? What had God, or even his own family told him about Yeshua?

19

Yeshua had responed to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all Righteousness!” Matthew 3:14, 15

When the religious Jews asked Yeshua by what authority He did the miracles that He did, Yeshua had responded back by asking them the question, “The baptism by Yochanan, was it from heaven or from men?” Luke 20:4 Yeshua knew Yochanan was the Zadok high priest, the highest position of spiritual authority in Israel. But Yeshua was in a higher position of spiritual Authority, far above the Aaronic Priesthood. For Yeshua is ‘Priest of God Most High!’ Yochanan spoke about Yeshua, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!” When, why, and what did that prophetic remark mean? Yochanan’s statement about Yeshua being “the Lamb of God,” clearly related to Passover. For Yochanan’s prophetic remark was about Yeshua being the Passover Lamb, prophesying about Yeshua’s death at Passover! But the rest of his statement, “…who takes away the sins of the world.” That related to Yom Kippur, and to the goat sacrifice being done on Yom Kippur by the high priest in the Jerusalem Temple, which was done for the sins of the people of Israel. Yochanan made this statement 40 days after he had first seen and baptized Yeshua. For Yeshua had then gone 40 days into the wilderness, and had then returned to Yochanan at the Jordan river. Yochanan began his ministry at Passover (for the prophesy from angel Gabriel given to his father Zechariah before his birth, was that Yochanan would go before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah (Luke 1:17). And Elijah had been expected to appear in Israel around the time of Passover. The two cousins were six months apart in age. So it would have been sometime before or around the Fall Feasts of Israel when Yochanan first baptized Yeshua. And high priest Yochanan, if there had not been two phony high priests serving in the Jerusalem Temple, what would he have been doing in the fall of that year?

20

As the true high priest, he would have been rehearsing for the Yom Kippur offering in the Temple. Look again at what Yochanan said; God had expanded the ministry of this mystery Zadok high priest.

“Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world!”

The Yom Kippur offering normally done by the Aaronic high priest was prophesied over Yeshua, to not only be doing the offering, but to be the Sacrifice, and not only for the sins of the high priest and the other Aaronic priests, and for the sins of the people of Israel, but now this Sacrifice, this Lamb of God coming from Aaron was also being prophesied by Yochanan to be for the sins of the world! See Jeremiah 33:18, “… a Sacrifice for all the days (Eternal)!”

What a great revelation God had given to Yochanan about this Man, at the beginning of Yeshua’s ministry! The next day Yochanan repeats his remark “Behold the Lamb of God,” and Andrew and another disciple of Yochanan hear him, and follow Yeshua, and stay with Him the rest of that day. Then Andrew left and went to Galilee to find and tell his brother Simon. Yeshua also left His cousin Yochanan at the Jordan river and went to the synagogue in Nazareth, where He read Isaiah 61:1, 2 from the Torah, and then declared: “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” Luke 4:21 I believe that He was announcing in that synagogue that day that ‘the Year of Jubilee’ had now come! And also He had made this announcement on the feast day of Yom Kippur. [Leviticus 25:9, 10] Yeshua then left Nazareth and went on to Galilee, where He met Andrew and Simon, and then Philip, and then Nathanael. All this would have been done around the time of the feast of Succoth.

21

On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Yeshua was there. Now both Yeshua and His disciples were invited to the wedding. “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me. My hour has not yet come!” John 2:1, 2, 4 By Torah, all Aaronic priests would begin ministry at age 30. Yeshua, who was born on the greatest biblical feast of the LORD, on Succoth, began His earthly ministry at age 30 on Succoth. I believe that Yeshua began His ministry with His first miracle of turning water into wine, at a wedding party, probably sometime during the seven day feast of Succoth, the feast of Tabernacles! [John 1:26-51, 2:1-11; Mt 3:11-4:17; Mk 1:7-15; Luke 3:16-4:1-31]

These God Signs done on God Feasts

are prophetic of the great events that are coming

Yeshua will be returning to earth with His Wife

on Yom Kippur, on the Year of Jubilee!

Yeshua will hold His Great Wedding Banquet,

‘the Marriage Supper of the Lamb’ in Jerusalem; It will be held on the LORD’s feast of Succoth!

This Wedding Party will be held on Yeshua’s Birthday! This will be the Celebration launching the Millennial Reign

of Yeshua and His Wife on earth for 1000 Years! We will be celebrating it with Him for 1000 years!

Zechariah 14:16 and Revelation 20:4

The Righteous Seed! There is one more major Scripture Revelation which our Lord Yeshua has given me to write about, that I need to at least briefly comment on in this paper. And that is about ‘the Righteous Seed.’

Yeshua, the King of Righteousness, is the Author and Perfector of ‘this Righteous Seed.’

The Righteous Seed ran mainly through two tribes, through Judah and Levi, and through two families,

David and the line of kings, Aaron and the line of priests. … the two families which God has chosen. Jeremiah 33:24 It was seen in the character and behavior of men and women.

You can find this truth about ‘the Righteous Seed’ by looking up in the entire bible where the words righteous, righteousness, and right appear, referring to a specific person. Here is that study …

‘This Righteous Seed’ was first placed by God into Eve; It was ‘the Seed of woman’, the Seed of Genesis 3:15.

This Righteous Seed was then in Abel, Adam and Eve’s son. Matthew 23:35 and Hebrews 11:4

Then this Righteous Seed showed up in Noah, in Genesis 7:1, (Ezekiel 14:14) “Come with all your house into the Ark, for I see you righteous before Me in this generation.”

Then ‘this Righteous Seed’ appeared in Abram, “He (Abram) believed in the LORD, and it was accounted

to him for righteousness.” Genesis 15:6 (Romans 4:9) This was only after Melchi Zedek (my King of Righteousness),

Priest of God Most High, King of Salem, had first blessed Abram. Genesis 14:18.

23

Next it was seen in priest Phinehas, Aaron’s grandson. “…it was accounted to him for righteousness” Psalm 106:30,31

“Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My wrath from the children of Israel, because he was zealous with My zeal among them,

so that I did not consume the children of Israel in My zeal. Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him My Covenant of Peace,

and it shall be to him and to his descendants after him a Covenant of an Everlasting Priesthood,

because he was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.’ ” Numbers 25:11-13

We next see ‘this Righteous Seed’ in king David. “You are a priest forever after the Order of Melchi-Zedek.”

Psalm 110:4 [also read Psalm 17:15] “… that My servant David may always have a lamp

before Me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Myself, to put My name there.” 1

st Kings 11:31,36

Nevertheless for David’s sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, by setting up his son after him

and by establishing Jerusalem; because David did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. 1

st Kings 15:4, 5

The following are the kings of Judah who followed

David’s example, in doing what was right before the LORD … Asa (1

st Kings 15:11,14; 2

nd Chronicles 14:2);

Jehoshaphat (1st Kings 22:41,43; 2

nd Chronicles 17:3);

Hezekiah (2nd Kings 18:1,3; 2

nd Chronicles 29:1,2, 31: 20);

Josiah (2nd Kings 22:1,2; 2

nd Chronicles 34:1,2);

We also find this righteous seed in Daniel (Ezekiel 14:14)

and in Job (Ezekiel 14:14) Job 1:1; Job 42:7

24

This ‘Righteous Seed’ was in high priest Zadok [‘righteous’], The righteous seed was passed on through many sons of Zadok. Ezekiel 43:18, 19; 44:15, 16, 23, 24; 45:3, 4; 48:10, 11; 40:46

We see this seed in the prophet and priest Zechariah, son of Berechiah. Matthew 23:35 (2

nd Chronicles 24:20-22)

Next this righteous seed appeared in the Opening Scene of the New Testament, to both Zechariah, the mystery Zadok

high priest, and in his wife Elisheva, in Luke 1:5, 6 … “righteous before God, walking in all the ordinances blameless.”

This righteous seed was then also seen in their son, the prophet and Zadok high priest Yochanan,

“Yochanan came to you ‘in the way of righteousness!” Matthew 21:32

This ‘Righteous Seed’ from Eve, the Seed of woman, was carried in Miriam, overshadowed by the Holy Spirit; Yeshua was Created at Conception in Miriam’s womb.

This ‘Righteous Seed’ + what God did = Yeshua, ‘the Son of God’, the Son of Man (the Aleph and Tav)!

Yeshua is the fulfillment of all Righteousness!

Lord Yeshua, the Sun of Righteousness, will Arise with Healing in His wings!

Do we know when Yeshua’s Conception happened? Yes! It was prophesied in Haggai 2:18,19, to be on Kislev 24

th. From

the day that the foundation of the LORD’s Temple was laid, the 24

th of the ninth month, from this day forward I will bless you.

That date in late December is around the time of Chanukkah. Yeshua’s Conception would be nine months before Yeshua’s Birthday, the Feast of Succoth, the Feast of Tabernacles!

25

On my website you will find my new paper that I have written about Yeshua’s Birthday being on the feast Succoth! It is called, ‘14 Points of Evidence for Yeshua’s Birthday being on Succoth!’

In conclusion, it is Yeshua’s Blood, and what is carried in Yeshua’s Sinless Blood that gives us Life. So now we know just a little more about what is contained in this Precious Blood of God that gave us the Atonement for all of our sins: Yeshua’s Kingship and Priesthood inheritance from His Heavenly Father, along with the perfect fulfillment of the line of kings from David, and also the family line of high priests from Yeshua, of Zadok, of Aaron.

For the Power of the Holy Spirit of God always resides with the Living Blood of Yeshua within each born-again believer. For Yeshua promised us that He would not leave us as orphans. Luke 24:44 Yeshua told us, “… that all things must be fulfilled which were written in … the prophets … concerning Me!”

Mark 4:22 “For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret, but that it should come to light.”

26

More teachings on this subject, along with a Power Point slide presentation made through the help of my friend Michael Cohen, are now on my website: www.FeedMySheepJerusalem.com Lord Yeshua, King - High Priest: 33 Power Point Presentation!

Now that I have presented these revelations, why are they so important, and why are these revelations only now just coming into the light? There is one major reason, for the Salvation of God’s Jewish people by their true Messiah. Also for the preparation of our Messiah Yeshua’s soon coming to take His Bride to Heaven. Later He will return from Heaven with His Wife back to Jerusalem!

The Melchi Zedek Priesthood: Our priestly intercession and kingly decrees in the heavenly realm have a much greater weight, advantage, and priority for our prayers and decrees to be heard and answered than those prayers and decrees coming from the Aaronic priesthood, especially in the days just ahead after the coming Islamic Arab War, when the Israeli Orthodox Jewish Temple will be built, and then functioning in Jerusalem. Now is the time to begin declaring these hidden nuggets of Truth about Yeshua, our Jewish Messiah and Savior, not just out to our believing Messianic and Christian Body, but also out to the unsaved secular and Orthodox religious Jewish communities.

EDUCATION !!! AND THE HOLY SPIRIT What will happen when the Orthodox Jews, who do not believe in Yeshua, or in His Salvation, or in His Blood of Atonement, hear and learn that the Tanakh also prophesied that Messiah would have to come through the high priest family of Yeshua, of Zadok, of Aaron, besides coming from the family line of king David? What will happen in the thinking of a Jewish religious man or the Jewish people when they realize that Yeshua has fulfilled these Messianic prophesies concerning Messiah, i.e., His coming through the tribe of Levi and the priest family of Aaron … also His coming

27

through the high priest family of Yeshua, of Zadok … all from ‘this Seed’ in His mother Miriam that God used to create Yeshua. Will these many new Revelations help to change their thinking? (Luke 24:27, 44; John 5:39, 40; John 8:24) What will then begin happening towards the Salvation of the Orthodox religious Jews and their receiving of Yeshua? Education of this information with the help of the Holy Spirit will definitely be a major focus! The Orthodox Jewish Temple will soon be built on Mount Moriah area, and this will happen right at the end of the coming Gog Magog War … Ezekiel 39:29 Do the Orthodox Jews have any idea who are the real Zadok priests? Probably not. And even if they did, will God honor their offerings? I don’t believe He will. For the Orthodox Jews deny Yeshua, who died for all their sins. King Priest Yeshua has already made the Eternal Atonement for Sin for mankind; so no other sacrifice for sin will be honored or accepted by God. Yeshua also said that if anyone denies Him and His Atonement for Sin, that person would die in their sins! God truly desires to bring His promised Salvation to Israel, which is currently being hindered by many incorrect teachings and wrong beliefs about our Messiah Yeshua coming from both the Church and Messianic Body, but also from the Orthodox and Ultra Orthodox religious Jewish communities. When will the religious Jews cry out to their Messiah Yeshua? In Revelation 11:13

How to resolve these great differences? Education!

Let’s begin by teaching these new revelations of the Truth concerning Messiah Yeshua and the Blood of Yeshua coming from this Son of the family of high priest Zadok of Aaron, along with our Lord Yeshua being the fulfillment of the family of David, all from ‘the Righteous Seed’ of woman of Genesis 3:15, which God brought forth to form Yeshua in the womb of virgin Miriam.

To God be all the Glory!

I thank my Lord Yeshua and the Holy Spirit for not only helping me to write this paper, and really giving me joy as I wrote this paper, but for also giving me many more new insights and revelations on this important topic each time I review this paper. Thank You, my God! May all these revelations that our Lord Yeshua has given me for His Body be used to lift up our Great and Awesome Messiah, and give Him all the Glory He deserves for all that He has done for each one of us who are Saved, and who have inherited Eternal Life with the One and only Living and Loving God, the Holy One of Israel. I’m grateful to God for this opportunity to be able to write to you, and to be able to give you this information. I would very much appreciate any help that you might be able to give me, to help distribute this important information out to other believers in the Messianic and Church Body, and also to those in the unsaved Jewish Orthodox religious world. Thank you for taking the time to read this paper, and for any of your insights, suggestions, questions, comments, and criticisms. God bless you. 4/04/2013

My early experiences with my Bridegroom King, 1973/1982 In the Spring of 1973 I was Saved when I first began reading the Bible. That is also when I began having my first real heavenly experiences with the Living God. It was like being in a Glorious heavenly dimension, as a real son of the true Creator, while I still functioned on earth. I lived in that divine dimension, like Heaven on earth, where every day God’s Words from the Holy Scriptures about the promised Messiah would come alive off the pages and enter my heart with powerful Love. That divine experience lasted for the next three months. Once during that time Yeshua audibly spoke three Words to me, and at the same moment He planted those three Words from the New Covenant, from John 21:17, deep into my heart with His divine Love, Words that would truly change

my life forever, as God spoke to me, “Feed My Sheep!”

Shortly after those experiences I was tricked by hell and fell, and entered into an evil world of drugs and occult and great spiritual darkness, and terror, and captivity. And there I lived as a prisoner. And for the next nine years I suffered torture from invisible demons.

And then nine years later, in 1982, on April 10th, during the

Passover week, on the Feast of First Fruits of barley, I drove to the southern California desert above Palm Desert. And as I cried out to God for help I was suddenly raised up, being taken out of the drug and occult worlds, as I was instantly being lifted up into Heaven. As I was being lifted up, I was shown a vision of a Man dying on a tree, and I was aware that whoever was lifting me up, was also empathizing with my great suffering … then suddenly I found myself standing about 12 feet away from the King of Heaven!

Standing before me, ‘the King of Glory’, Yeshua! He wore a very simple golden crown. His face and whole being I could not see because of His Glory. For He is like a blazing Sun, blazing in its full Glory! Revelation 1:16; 14:14

32

He walked over to me and lovingly placed a red crimson robe around my shoulders. Moments later I found myself back down in the desert. I knew that I had just been saved and delivered and healed by my God from many years in the drug and occult worlds.

Shortly after that experience God directed me to start writing my

first book on the Messiah from the Old Covenant Scriptures, which He had made come alive off the pages of the Bible with great Love nine years prior. Writing my first book took the next 10 years; a book which announced the coming of this Loving King of Heaven, my King of Glory. This book was called, ‘The Coming Messiah, The Son of David!’ It was published in 1992, and quickly sold out. During that time God directed me to begin sounding two shofars to announce the coming of the Messiah throughout the United States.

In 1995, I moved to Israel and soon became an Israeli citizen. Here I have written and published many more books to announce the coming of our Messiah, King-High Priest Yeshua, to Israel and to the nations. I currently live in Jerusalem with my wife Feryl (Faith) Christine, who was born in Alaska. We met at Mount Zion Fellowship in Jerusalem, in 1999. We were married in 2002, and here we have been living happily, because of God’s daily help.
