(Weekly Reading>>Deuteronomy 29:10-30:20, Isaiah 61:10-63:9, 1 John 5:1-21, Romans 9:30-10:13, Hebrews 12:14-15)
The Sabbath and the Seed - Hearing from Heaven
Yahweh’s voice is heard on the weekly Sabbath and when we enter into His Priestly High Holy Feast Days, as they are also called Sabbaths. The sign of the Sabbath is the Mosaic Covenant. The Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between Yahweh and His people. The Sabbath is a wedding invitation to the Bride and it is the brides wedding ring.
The Sabbath is made for Yeshua’s Promised Seed. Believers who enter into the Abrahamic Covenant become that Promised Seed of Yeshua. In this Covenant, the Seed is planted and germinates or comes alive with the infusion of His Spirit Life within. As His Seed, it is here Yeshua’s image and characteristics are imparted (Galatians 3:8).
After the Seed germinates it begins to root by entering into the rich soil of the Sabbath, to be watered by the nourishing Word of the Mosaic Covenant. Without the Sabbath, the Seed/Believer will not develop and all the potential hidden within the Seed will stay dormant. Therefore it is critical for believers to enter into the Shabbat within the guidelines of the Gospel, the Mosaic Covenant, as both witness together in Yahweh, allowing Him to grow His promises deeply within our spirits. From Yahweh’s perspective, as revealed in Scripture, we are not found in Yeshua if we are not found in the Sabbath, as He is Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:28; Luke 6:5; Galatians 3:29).
Once the root develops, the Seed/Bride begins to mature and sprout, transforming into the image Yahweh created it to be. This is referred to as the Davidic Covenant. The sign of the Davidic Covenant is the Temple. In this Covenant the Promised Seed/Believer/Bride enters into Yeshua’s priesthood. In the Abrahamic Covenant believers are given the potential for the priesthood. The Mosaic Covenant then teaches a believer how to walk in the priesthood. Only in the Davidic Covenant is a priest allowed to perform the priestly duties. These duties include performing Yahweh’s Kingdom principles on earth in His power and authority, being responsible for serving in His Temple (Holy of Holies and Most Holy Place) and overall care of the Temple/tabernacle furnishings. These duties are only found in the Davidic Covenant. Without a temple there is no Bridal Chamber and if the Seed/Believer does not enter the Mosaic Wedding Covenant there is no Bride/Priest. For this reason, as believers in Yeshua[Jesus], we must make every effort to enter His Sabbath Rest – the Davidic Covenant - the goal of our faith.

John 10:1-5 Yeshua said, “Most assuredly, I say to you [believer], he who does not enter the sheepfold [tabernacle] by the door [Mosaic Covenant] but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. (Note: door/gate/covenant are all synonymous). But he who enters by the door [Mosaic Covenant] is the shepherd of the sheep. To him [the shepherd of the sheep] the doorkeeper [Yahweh] opens [and enters the priesthood of Yeshua, the Davidic Covenant], and the sheep hear his voice [hears the shepherd/priest’s voice who walks in Yeshua’s marriage principles given at Mount Sinai]; and he calls his own sheep [Bride/disciples/talmudim – those who mirror Yeshua’s walk] by name [Israel] and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he [the shepherd of Yeshua’s sheep] goes before them; and the sheep follow him [the shepherd – those who keep Yeshua’s Heavenly principles for their marriage together – taught in the Mosaic Covenant called the Gospel], for they [the sheep/believers walking in Mosaic Covenant] know his voice [as they have taught/studied Yeshua voice – called the Song of Moses which will be sung at their wedding]. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger [one who does not teach Moses], but will flee from him [false shepherd], for they [Yeshua’s sheep/Bride] do not know the voice of strangers[false shepherds]” (Ezekiel 34:2-6; 2 Corinthians 11:13-18).

Psalm 89:3-4, 35-37 “I have made a covenant with My chosen [promised seed], I have sworn to My servant David: Your seed I will establish forever, and build up your throne to all generations. Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David: His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before Me; It shall be established forever like the moon, even like the faithful witness in the sky”
Psalm 89:27-29 “Also I will make him [those who return to My ways/Gospel] My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth. My mercy I will keep for him forever, and My covenant shall stand firm with him. His seed also I will make to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.”
Isaiah 61:1-3 “The Spirit of the Lord GOD/Yahweh Elohim is upon Me, because Yahweh has anointed Me to preach good tidings [the Gospel] to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of Yahweh, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, that He may be glorified.”
Galatians 3:29 “And if you are Christ’s/Messiah’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise/Covenant.”
1 Peter 1:9-16 “receiving the end [goal] of your faith - the salvation of your souls. Of this salvation the prophets [in the Old Testament/Tanakh] have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ/Yeshua who was in them [the prophets] was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ/Yeshua and the glories that would follow. To them [the prophets] it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us [believers following the Gospel of righteousness] they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you [believers] through those who have preached the Gospel [Yahweh’s teaching and instruction, The Wedding Covenant, given to Moses at Mount Sinai] to you [believers] by the Holy Spirit/Ruach Ha Kodesh sent from heaven - things which angels desire to look into. Therefore [believers] gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ/Yeshua Ha Mashiach; as obedient children [Bride], not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you [Bride] also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
Matthew 22:2-14 “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son [Yeshua], and sent out his servants [the prophets] to call those who were invited to the wedding [Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement]; and they [believers] were not willing to come [to the King’s Feast]. Again, he [the King] sent out other servants [prophets], saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, see, I have prepared my dinner [My Feast]; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed [an offering has been made and was accepted on their behalf], and all things are ready [finished / complete]. Come to the wedding [Yom Kippur].’ But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business [they did not acknowledge the King’s Feast Days]. And the rest seized his servants [prophets], treated them spitefully, and killed them. But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies [Revelation19:17], destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready [an eternal set time has come], but those [believers] who were invited [to Yom Kippur]were not worthy. Therefore go into the highways [out to the wilderness as John the Baptist did], and as many as you find, invite to the wedding [Yom Kippur].’ So those servants [prophets – those who teach and instruct the Gospel of the Kingdom of Yahweh] went out into the highways [wilderness] and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.”
“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment [white linen priestly garment]. So he said to him, ‘Friend [Believer], how did you come in here [the Holy of Holies, the Bridal Chamber] without a wedding garment [without the priestly garment]?’ And he [the believer] was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many [believers] are called, but few are chosen [but few choose].’” (Ezekiel 44:23-24).
John 10:1-9 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door [Abrahamic, Mosaic and Davidic Covenants], but climbs up some other way [false Gospel/false covenant/false feast days], the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door [Davidic Covenant] is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out [of the wilderness]. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” Yeshua used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them. Then Yeshua said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture” (John 5:46-47).
