"YOU ARE STANDING"
(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)
In this study we find that Moses has summoned all of the twelve tribes of Israel together in Moab to remind them again of the terms of the Marriage Covenant that Yahweh made with them at Horeb. Over the years, by signs and wonders, Yahweh had conveyed to Moses all of the intricate details of His Tabernacle pattern, thus revealing His Kingdom on earth. Those choosing to walk in His Spirit filled principles as a redemptive lifestyle were transformed into His royal priesthood and His holy nation. This heavenly pattern is still present in His people today (Exodus 19:5-6).
Moses was sharing the Covenant not only with those who were standing with him on his last day, but also with those yet to be born throughout all future generations. All of Yahweh’s Covenants stand in the heavenly realm - eternally - for our great, great, great grandchildren and beyond!
The Sabbath Rest
We who are living today also hear Yahweh’s voice from the mountaintop when we listen with our hearts to His Word. The message has not changed since Mount Sinai. It is still living and sharper than any two edged sword. Today the fulfillment of biblical prophecy is being realized as the scattered twelve tribes of Israel and those who sojourn with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They are once more embracing these Covenant words given to the Children of Israel. Those Moses taught by faith accepted Yahweh’s Faithfulness to His Covenant to bless their decedents, as well as themselves. We are the recipients of their active belief in Yahweh’s words spoken to them at Mount Sinai. Today we follow their footsteps to come again to the Mountain to hear the words spoken by the Ancient of Days.
In the Book of Hebrews Chapters four and five, the Sabbath Rest is to be the goal of the believer’s faith. We are told there still remains a Sabbath Rest (eternity) that we have yet to enter into. If this is the goal of the Gospel, our faith, should we not be learning and teaching this in our churches and synagogues today? Many believers when they hear the word Sabbath or Shabbat are shocked and ask “What are you - Jewish?” as if Sabbath or the Shabbat is a bad thing separate from Christianity. We learned in the last study about the priesthood and especially the Royal Priesthood of Messiah that to truly enter into the Sabbath Rest we need to comprehend the fuller understanding of this Royal Priesthood.

"YOU ARE STANDING"
(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)
Hebrews 12:14-15 “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.”
In this study we find that Moses has summoned all of the twelve tribes of Israel together in Moab to remind them again of the terms of the Marriage Covenant that Yahweh made with them at Horeb. Over the years, by signs and wonders, Yahweh had conveyed to Moses all of the intricate details of His Tabernacle pattern, thus revealing His Kingdom on earth. Those choosing to walk in His Spirit filled principles as a redemptive lifestyle were transformed into His royal priesthood and His holy nation. This heavenly pattern is still present in His people today (Exodus 19:5-6).
Deuteronomy 29:9-15 “Therefore keep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do…. that you may enter into covenant with Yahweh your God, and into His oath, which Yahweh your God makes with you today, that He may establish you today as a people for Himself, and that He may be God to you, just as He has spoken to you, and just as He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I make this covenant and this oath, not with you alone, but with him who stands here with us today before Yahweh our God, as well as with him who is not here with us today.”
Moses was sharing the Covenant not only with those who were standing with him on his last day, but also with those yet to be born throughout all future generations. All of Yahweh’s Covenants stand in the heavenly realm - eternally - for our great, great, great grandchildren and beyond!
Genesis 17:7 “And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.”
Acts 2:39 “For the promise [covenant] is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
Acts 2:39 “For the promise [covenant] is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
The Sabbath Rest
Hebrews 3:16 – 19 “For who, having heard [the Covenant words spoken through Moses at Mount Sinai], rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest [Millennial Sabbath], but to those who did not obey? So we [believers] see that they [at Mount Sinai] could not enter in [the Sabbath] because of unbelief [because of walking in rebellion to Yahweh’s teaching and instruction].
We who are living today also hear Yahweh’s voice from the mountaintop when we listen with our hearts to His Word. The message has not changed since Mount Sinai. It is still living and sharper than any two edged sword. Today the fulfillment of biblical prophecy is being realized as the scattered twelve tribes of Israel and those who sojourn with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They are once more embracing these Covenant words given to the Children of Israel. Those Moses taught by faith accepted Yahweh’s Faithfulness to His Covenant to bless their decedents, as well as themselves. We are the recipients of their active belief in Yahweh’s words spoken to them at Mount Sinai. Today we follow their footsteps to come again to the Mountain to hear the words spoken by the Ancient of Days.

We learned in the last study about the priesthood and especially the Royal Priesthood of Messiah that to truly enter into the Sabbath Rest we need to comprehend the fuller understanding of this Royal Priesthood.
Hebrews 4:1-3 “Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest [Sabbath – the sign for the Mosaic Covenant], let us [believers] fear lest any of you [believers] seem to have come short of it [Sabbath - the goal of our walk found in Yeshua]. For indeed the Gospel [Mosaic Covenant] was preached to us [believers] as well as to them [those who were at Mount Sinai with Moses]; but the word [Gospel] which they heard [from Moses] did not profit them, not being mixed with faith [did they actively obey Yahweh’s instructions] in those who heard it [the terms of their Mosaic/Marriage Covenant]. For we [believers] who have believed [who walk in Yahweh’s instructions of the Gospel given at Mount Sinai through Moses] do enter that rest [Sabbath], as He has said: ‘So I swore in My wrath, they shall not enter My rest [Sabbath],’ although the works [of the Marriage Covenant, the Gospel] were finished [known] from the foundation of the world [since before the beginning of time].”
