  • REVOLUTION

    THIS ARTICLE ENCOURAGES READERS TO CHOOSE YAHUSHA'S BEHAVIOUR REVOLUTION, WHICH STARTS IN THE HOME AND INVOLVES LIVING BY THE "FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS" - A BEHAVIOUR PROVIDING PROTECTION FROM WORLDLY LAWS AND GRANTS, "POWER OVER THE ENEMY" AND "VICTORY AT EVERY STEP." Due to the fact that revival is a men-made word and is not in Scripture, YAHUSHA CAME WITH A REVOLUTION which is throughout Scripture. HEBREW FOR "REVOLUTION" : 1524 Giyl: A REVOLUTION (of time i.e. an age) also joy:-- exceedingly, gladness, greatly, joy, rejoice(-ing), sort. 1755 Dowr: A REVOLUTION OF TIME i.e. an age or generation; also a dwelling:--age,  evermore, generation, (n-)ever, posterity. 8141 Shaneh: A YEAR (as a revolution of time):--+ whole age, X long, + old, year( -ly). 8622 Tquwphah: A REVOLUTION i.e. (of the sun) course, (of time) lapse:--circuit, come about, end. ROMANS 13:2   "Therefore, whoever resists the authorities resists what god/Alahim has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment". HEBREWS 12:14 "Pursue peace with all people, and set-apart/clean without which no one will see the Alahim". MATTHEW 24:6-8   "And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that you are not troubled, for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows". JOHN 8:44 "You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it".  ROMANS 13:14 "But put on Yahusha Messiah, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfil its lusts".  EPHESIANS 2:2-3   "In which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others".  JAMES 3:13-18   "Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace".  1 JOHN 5:19   "We know that we are of god/Alahim, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one".   Rest assured, that YAHUSHA'S REVOLUTION is not of this world. He said, even though you’re in the world, you are not part of it. (A tricky understanding).  This means we are in a DIFFERENT HIGHER PLACE than those of the flesh in the world. Those of the flesh are restricted from this knowledge - STUCK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VEIL! The knowledge we talk about is actually a NEW BEHAVIOUR which is impossible for the flesh to understand. So YAHUSHA'S REVOLUTION is a certain type of behaviour that the carnal mind cannot produce, for it is not alive and active within them.  This 'certain type of behaviour' is called the FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are bestowed upon those who enter the veil-gate of the narrow-path, by ACCEPTING YAHUSHA AS ALAHIM and repentance. He promised that He would put a new heart and a new spirit within our vessel. This gives access to the REVOLUTIONARY UNDERSTANDING OF THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AS WE RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF SPIRIT AND FIRE, WHICH DELIVERS US FROM ALL OUR SINS, AND WE ARE WASHED CLEAN BY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF YAHUSHA. This brings us to  Yahusha's consciousness and mindset of behaviour (as the Scriptures above suggest). The mindset of Yahusha's Revolution manifests in the HOME/QUARRY. Yahusha's Revolution has given instructions about family life and the role each member has to play. The home is called THE QUARRY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, where the lively stones of obedient acceptance are chipped and smoothed into exact measurements (behaviour), so that each stone can be placed in the New Jerusalem to fit perfectly.  THIS IS THE BEHAVIOUR REVOLUTION. O P P O S I T I O N :   GALATIANS 5:22-24 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, self-control. AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW. And those who are Yahusha's have impaled the flesh with its passions and desires". This Scripture proves the validity of  YAHUSHA'S BEHAVIOUR REVOLUTION! All the fruits listed cannot produce the quality of behaviour required without having this transformation of the mind and body, which is needed to enter the veil-gate. THE CORRUPT SEED IN THE FLESH CANNOT ENTER BECAUSE OF ITS CORRUPT BEHAVIOUR . Those already in Yahusha have entered and gone on to greener pastures and are full of His loving-righteous behaviour. They are SAFE FROM THE DEVIL in the Wilderness, waiting on His return, delivered and set free in His joy. Looking back down the path to the Veil-Gate, we can see the many who are gathered there, trying to find a way in, which is impossible for them.  YAHUSHA'S BEHAVIOUR REVOLUTION has this opposition of Satan's children, who are the religious and political global leaders who want to block the way in. Yahusha's way has nothing to do with the ways of the world, which are corrupt. These blockers of righteous truth are what Yahusha said to them …. "You are of your father the devil.” These folks at the gate are the opposition and have no power to stop any candidate who wants Yahusha, for all the candidate has to do is ignore the taunts and push through to Yahusha's deliverance.  YAHUSHA'S BEHAVIOUR REVOLUTION is a much higher elevation of truth. By living and walking in Yahusha's Righteous Behaviour, as it says above… “There is no law against your behaviour". Yahusha's power covers you in every aspect of your personal Behaviour Revolution. You will be constantly walking on the Word of Truth, you have power over the enemy and will achieve victory at every step you take. CHOOSE FOR YOURSELF TO EITHER LISTEN TO MEN OR ENTER THE VEIL/NARROW GATE AND JOIN YAHUSHA'S BEHAVIOUR REVOLUTION. THE REVOLUTION STARTS IN THE HOME, and no one can do or say anything about your Quarry Revolution. If you teach your children the Revolution, they become arrows in your quiver, and you won’t be ashamed! As Scripture says, Yahusha makes all the laws of the world, and if you’re living the FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, there is no law against you!   THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO ENTER `BEHIND THE VEIL' :

  • NEW COVENANT TREES

    What kind of tree are you ? Today we’re continuing our study on who the true `Seed of Abraham’ and real ‘Israel of Alahim’ (god) is, through the lens of SCRIPTURAL TREE SYMBOLISM.   Old Covenant Israel was always illustrated by various trees (three special ones in particular): THE OLIVE TREE, THE FIG TREE THE VINE TREE. It is worth noting how often these trees are mentioned together in Scripture. (HAB 3:17, JAM 3:12, REV 6:6&12, JUDE 9:7). Those teachers who seek to maintain the primacy of natural, national Israel (or Jewry) often refer to one of these trees to make their skewed point. They speak of the national Israel of Alahim’s olive tree, and Alahim’s vine. The most popular tree used to refer to Israel is the fig tree. The budding of the fig tree is interpreted as the budding forth and restoration of the Jewish nation (MATT 24:32; MK 13:28-30; LUKE 21:29-30). But again, we ask, are these things so? We look at "first the natural, and afterwards the spiritual" (1 COR 15). Parable of the Three Trees ( JUDGES 9:7-15 ) In this passage of Scripture, we have the first recorded parable. It is the parable of the three trees: the OLIVE, the FIG and the VINE. The trees of the field went looking for a king. They ask each of these trees in turn to be their king and rule over them. However, each of these fruitful trees declined. Each responded they would rather fulfil what their calling was in life and the purpose of their existence, rather than reigning as king over the rest of the trees. The end of the chapter shows how "the bramble bush" took the reign over the trees and the disastrous results of such a thorny, fruitless bush. There is undoubted significance in the parable of the three trees, and this is seen developed in the history of the nation of Israel. And there is no doubt that, in the Old Covenant, Israel is symbolised by these three trees: the OLIVE, the FIG and the VINE.   Trees in Scriptures are used to symbolise kingdoms and even subjects of those kingdoms. The Scripture opens and closes with the 'tree of eternal life' and the 'tree of the knowledge of good and evil' (GEN 2:9, REV 22:1-2). Israel is likened to a 'vine out of Egypt' (PS 80). Nebuchadnezzar is likened to a 'great tree' as well (DAN 4). The kingdom of Alahim is likened to a 'mustard tree' (MATT 13:31-32, LUKE 13:19). Believers are likened also to 'trees planted by the rivers of water' (PS 1:3), as well as planted as 'cedars and palms in the house of Yahuah' (PS 92:12-14). So Israel, as a kingdom, is likened to the OLIVE, the FIG and the VINE trees.   Here we see the significance of each of these trees, in regards to Israel and also to Yahusha’s New Covenant Bride! 1. OLD COVENANT OLIVE TREE The OLIVE TREE is especially significant for the anointing and operations of the Divine Spirit of Alahim in the chosen nation under the Old Covenant. The OLIVE TREE was "the oil tree", and from its fruit (the olive berries) came the oil with its numerous uses. The most sacred use was that of the "holy/set-apart anointing oil". The tree specifically named in Noah's time was the olive leaf brought to Noah in the mouth of the dove. Even today, it is the "olive leaf of peace". The OLIVE TREE in Jotham’s parable did not want to lose its fruitfulness and be promoted as king over the trees of the field. (JUDGES 9:8) David the King, speaks of himself as being "like a green olive tree in the house of Alahim” (PSALM 52:8). Believing Israelites and their children are "like olive plants around their table" (PS 128:3). Jeremiah laments that a fire had been kindled in the branches that had been broken off from "the green and fair olive tree with its goodly fruit" (JER 11:16). In the Temple of Solomon, two great Cherubim made of olive tree wood, and overlaid with gold, overshadowed the Ark of Covenant in the Holiest of All (1 KINGS 6:23-30). Even the two witnesses in Revelation are called "two olive trees", or "the two sons of oil” because of the anointing of the Messiah upon them (REV 11, ZECH 4:3 & 11-14). The fruit of the OLIVE TREE is seen in the berries, and then with crushing, the oil was brought forth. Olive trees were trees of oil, and especially pointed to the ministry and anointing of Alahim’s Spirit in the olive tree nation under Old Covenant times. The ultimate revelation of the olive tree is that which was given to Paul and written to the believers in Rome. Here, the olive tree is "the Israel of Alahim with its root, trunk and branches" (ROM 11:16-24). However, this must be dealt with more fully in the appropriate place. Enough Scriptures have been given to show that Old Covenant Israel was Alahim’s olive tree nation and represents the operations of His Spirit in that nation, as symbolised by the fruit of the oil berries. Israel was the only nation in which Alahim’s Spirit worked in great measure in the Judges, Priests, Prophets, Kings and in the inspiration of the Living Words of Scripture. 2. OLD COVENANT FIG TREE The FIG TREE is also very clearly used as a symbol of Old Covenant Israel. If the olive tree speaks of the ANOINTING in the chosen nation, then the fig tree symbolises the FRUITFULNESS and prosperity of the nation.  Israel came to the promised land, a "land of vines, figs and olives" (DEUT 8:8). Under Solomon's Reign, “both Judah and Israel dwell safely, every man under his vine and his fig tree". (1 KINGS 4:25 & 2 KINGS 18:31). Sitting under their own vine and FIG TREE they spoke of peace, safety, blessing, fruitfulness, and prosperity. And this is how the Prophets speak. No fruit on these trees was a sign of divine judgment. The FIG TREE is the first tree specifically named in the Scripture. Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves together to "make themselves presentable to Alahim" (GEN 3:7 with IS 64:6). “The one who tends and cares for his fig tree will eat the fruit of it” (PROV 27:18). The FIG TREE is also linked in some Scriptures with the olive and the vine (HAB 3:17, JAMES 3:12, JUD 9:7-15, REV 6:6 & 12). In the healing of Hezekiah's sickness, Alahim told Isaiah to take a LUMP OF FIGS as a sign to the king. Healing, health and extension of life were given to him after this. In the parable of the trees seeking a king to rule over them, the FIG TREE declined the offer. The fig tree was content to produce "its sweetness and good fruit and not to be promoted over the trees" (JUDGES 9:10-11). The clearest intimation we have (in the Old Covenant) that Israel is likened to a FIG TREE is in Hosea and Jeremiah. Hosea reminds Israel that Yahuah Alahim found them "like grapes in the wilderness " and saw their fathers "as the first-ripe in the fig tree at her time" (HOS 9:10). Jeremiah is more specific in Ch24, the prophet is given a vision of TWO BASKETS OF FIGS set before the Temple of Yahuah, after Nebuchadnezzar had carried away certain people to the Babylonian Captivity. One basket contained "good figs, even as first-ripe figs". The other basket contained "evil figs, so evil they could not be eaten" (JER 24:1-3, 29:17). The vision was interpreted in verses 4-10 . The good figs were those who had been carried away to the land of Babylon, and they would be brought back to the land, and "Yahuah would be their Alahim, and they would be His people". This is, of course, by way of implication of the New Covenant promises. Significantly, Yahusha saw faithful Nathanael under the FIG TREE when Philip called him to come to Yahusha (JOHN 2:43-51). The evil figs spoke of Zedekiah, and the nation's rulers, both politically and religiously, "who were so corrupt in their ways, you would scatter them to the kingdom of the Earth". So even though Israel and Judah were together ALAHIM'S FIG TREE under the Old Covenant, there were good figs and evil figs, the believing and the unbelieving. The good would be blessed. The evil would be judged. The New Covenant gives even a fuller revelation of Jewry being likened to the FIG TREE. However, this also must be dealt with in its appropriate place. 3. OLD COVENANT VINE TREE As with the OLIVE tree and the FIG tree, so with the VINE tree! This is the third tree symbolising Israel under the Old Covenant. If the olive speaks of the ANOINTING in Israel, and the fig tree speaks of FRUITFULNESS and prosperity, then the vine speaks of the SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in Israel. The fruit of the vine has numerous blessings which arise from its use (ISAIAH 65:8). There are more references to Israel as the vine than even to the olive and the fig tree. We note the major references to this tree in relation to Old Covenant Israel. In PSALM 80 the Psalmist records an inspired allegory of ISRAEL AS THE VINE out of Egypt. Yahuah "cast out the stones in the land of promise, and then planted this vine". It took deep root and its branches spread over the hills of the land. However, Asaph laments that there came a time when "the hedge of protection had been broken down. Wild beasts devoured it!" The Psalmist cried to Yahuah to "visit this vine, and the vineyard", which HIS RIGHT HAND had planted. He cries for the Man of Alahim’s right hand, even the Son of Man to visit the vine (PS 80:8-19). Who can fail to see that THE VINE WAS ISRAEL brought out of the land of Egypt, planted in Canaan land, there to become a great kingdom. However, in time, Yahuah’s protection was taken away and the beast-kingdoms of the gentile nations devoured Israel. No wonder the Psalmist prays for Yahuah to visit the vine by sending Yahusha Messiah, the Son of Man.  The prophet Isaiah is more specific and supplies further revelation than that of the Psalmist. In ISAIAH 5:1-7 he sings a song to the "well-beloved" concerning His vineyard. The vineyard had been fenced, the stones gathered out, and a winepress and tower had been built in it. When the time came that He looked for grapes, He found wild grapes. He lamented over the failure of the fruit. After all He had bestowed upon His vineyard, what more could have been done? Judgment would come. The hedge would be broken down, no rain would fall, and the vineyard would become a field of thorns. In ISAIAH 5:7 he interprets "the vine" and "the vineyard". The vineyard was Israel as a nation, and the vine was Judah. Instead of fruitfulness, there was unrighteous and evil fruit brought forth. Hence, the judgment of the Yahuah on the nation. The interpretation is clear. The prophecy of Jacob also speaks of "the vine" and "the choice vine" (GEN 49:9-12). Israel was Yahuah’s vineyard, and Judah His vine. Again, Jeremiah laments over Judah. “Yet, I had planted you a noble vine, wholly a right seed. How then are you turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine to Me” (JER 2:21). The prophet Hosea picks up the cry of Yahuah over Israel, the Old Covenant Vine. ISRAEL IS AN EMPYY VINE. Yahuah brings forth fruit to Himself (HOS 10:1). Or, Israel is a vine emptying the fruit which He gives. The prophet Ezekiel gives the final picture of Israel as the vine under the Old Covenant. In EZ 15:1-8 , he shows that the vine is absolutely useless for making furniture of any kind or for any other work. A VINE IS MEANT TO BEAR FRUIT. This is the purpose of its existence. The fruitless branches are pruned to bear more fruit. THE FRUITLESS BRANCHES ARE GOOD FOR NOTHING EXCEPT FIRE !! The interpretation is clear. In verse 6 Yahuah says He will give the inhabitants of Jerusalem as "fuel for the fire, even as branches of a fruitless vine are used for the fire". The vine and the cedar are dealt with in parabolic form also in EZ 17:1-10 and the interpretation is given in vs 11-24 . Back in the time of the Judges, the VINE tree did not want to be king over the trees but just BRING FORTH JOY to the sons of men (JUD 9:7-15). As for the OLIVE and the FIG, so for the VINE tree. The fuller revelation is seen in the New Covenant. This is the purpose of this chapter, and such will be dealt with in due time. So there is no doubt about the symbolic use of these trees in the Old Covenant. EACH TREE IS SYMBOLIC OF OLD COVENANT ISRAEL - YAHUAH'S 1st WIFE Each brings out some distinctive aspect of the blessings of Yahuah Alahim on the chosen nation. Each of the prophets touch on Israel as these three trees (some more, some less). Jeremiah expressly speaks of these three trees in: 1. The Olive Tree - JER 11:16-17 2. The Fig Tree - JER 24:1-10, 29:17 3. The Vine Tree - JER 2:21 However. this brings us to the New Covenant revelation to consider what the New Covenant writers say about these three trees : New Covenant Trees We come now to see what Yahusha and the New Covenant writers teach about these three trees. It will be seen that each of them are mentioned in the New Covenant also, and each have their symbolic and special lessons for New Covenant believers. It will also be seen that the real issue is "that which pertains to the spiritual rather than the natural". 1. NEW COVENANT OLIVE TREE It may come as a shock to many believers to realise that the OLIVE TREE under both Old Covenant and New Covenant, is in reality the SPIRITUAL ISRAEL OF ALAHIM and NOT the natural Israel! The clear revelation of Paul in ROM 9-10-11 confirms this. Let us consider the verses in Romans which deal specifically with the symbolism of the OLIVE TREE. (a) VERSE 16 :   “If the first-fruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches”. Paul is using Old Covenant truths concerning the first-fruits. The first-fruits were holy and set-apart to Yahuah, the first-fruits of corn, wine, oil, dough, harvest and so forth. The first-fruits belonged wholly to Yahuah, and such were given to the priests. The very first-fruits of the OLIVE TREE ISRAEL NATION were Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, set-apart as holy to Yahuah. Yahuah even says He is "the Alahim of Abraham, the Alahim of Isaac and Alahim of Jacob". The same truth is seen in the use of the words "root" and "branches". Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are “the root” of THE OLIVE TREE ISRAEL and believing Israel are “the branches”. These three men served Yahuah in their time, even though they were not perfect. Each was a MAN OF BELIEF "By belief  Abraham… by belief Isaac… by Jacob”… shows that they were men, righteous THROUGH THEIR TRUSTING BELIEF!! (b) VERSE 17-18 :  “And if some of the branches be broken off, and you (being a wild olive tree) are grafted in among them, partaking of the root and fatness of the olive tree… Boast not against the branches. But if you boast, you bear not the root, but the root bears you!” Paul shows that some (not all) of the branches of the OLIVE TREE were broken off. That is, some of Israel, some of Jewry, were broken and CUT OFF FROM THE OLIVE TREE! The Gentile nations, from a wild olive tree, are now grafted in among other believing Israel into the good OLIVE TREE However, they must not boast, because it is the root (Yahusha, through Abraham, the father of all who believe, Jews or Gentiles) that supports, carries and nourishes them and not the reverse. (c) VERSE 19-21 :   "You will say then, the branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. Well, because of unbelief, they were broken off, and you stand by belief. Be not high-minded but fear, For I Alahim spared not the natural branches, take heed in case He also doesn’t spare you!” The answer concerning the so-called "Jewish problem" is right here. Those who were of the natural and national Israel (after the flesh) had to be of belief to remain as branches in the OLIVE TREE of the true Israel which is the spiritual, the believing Israel, the Israel of the New Covenant, new heart, new spirit, clean and righteous trusting-belief. The Jews, as a nation, refused to believe in their own Messiah. However, not all, for there were 3000, 5000, and multitudes of men and women who did believe and did receive Yahusha. They believed in Alahim under the Old Covenant, but they needed to BELIEVE IN WHO HE BECAME: Yahusha under a New Covenant in New Blood. Yahusha said, "You believe in Alahim, believe ALSO in Me" (JOHN 14:1,6). And then again, "If they had truly believed in Alahim (as Abraham did), they would have believed the Son who came from Alahim" (Read JOHN 8:12-59). EVEN WITH THE REJECTION, IMPALEMENT, DEATH, BURIAL, RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION OF YAHUSHA, THE JEWS STILL REFUSED TO BELIEVE. SO THEY WERE BROKEN OFF FROM THE SPIRITUAL, THE BELIEVING OLIVE TREE BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF! ONE COULD ONLY ABIDE IN THE OLIVE TREE (YAHUSHA) BY BELIEF. THERE WAS NO PLACE FOR THE UNBELIEVING ISRAELITES OR THE UNBELIEVING JEWS IN THE BELIEF OLIVE TREE. GENTILES WHO BELIEVED WERE GRAFTED IN AMONG THE BELIEVING JEWS. THEY WERE TAKEN FROM THEIR WILD OLIVE TREE, THE GENTILE TREE, AND BY BELIEF IN YAHUSHA THEY WERE GRAFTED INTO THE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL OLIVE TREE (YAHUSHA & HIS BRIDE). GENTILE BELIEVERS ARE WARNED AGAINST PRIDE AND CONCEIT AND ARROGANCE OVER THE UNBELIEVING JEWS BEING CUT OFF AND OUT AND THEIR BEING GRAFTED IN. (d) VERSE 22 :   "Behold therefore the GOODNESS and SEVERITY of Alahim: on them, which fell (unbelieving Jews/Israelites), severity; but toward you (believing Jews and Gentiles), goodness, IF you continue in His goodness; otherwise you also shall be cut off (as unbelieving Jewry was)." Paul is clear here also. There is no chance of misunderstanding his words. (e) VERSE 23 :  "And they also, if they don’t stay in unbelief, shall be grafted in again: for Alahim can graft them in again." This verse settles the whole issue of the so-called “Jewish problem”. If Jews/Israelites DON’T STAY IN UNBELIEF, Yahusha can graft them back into the BELIEVING OLIVE TREE! Jewry as a whole is still in unbelief in regards to Yahusha, to this very day! Once a Jew accepts Yahusha as Alahim, they are grafted back in among the believing Jews and Gentiles (Yahusha’s New Covenant Bride). The OLIVE TREE is the SPIRITUAL ISRAEL OF ALAHIM. It has always been so, even under the Old Covenant. Remember, there was a 'true Israel' within Israel and a 'real Jew' within the Jews! (f) VERSE 24 :  "For if you (Gentiles) were cut out of the wild olive tree by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these (Jewry), which are the natural branches, be grafted into their olive tree?" In the natural practice of grafting, the “good olive tree” was grafted into the “wild olive tree” to improve the fruit of the wild olive tree. If the “wild olive tree” were grafted into the “good olive tree” it would have the reverse effect. The “good olive tree” would then turn to "wildness". But Yahusha grafted the "wild olive branches" (believing Gentiles) in among the "good olive branches" (believing Jews), which was contrary to nature, and so the olive tree consists of Jews and Gentiles of belief. So if Yahusha can do that for the believing Gentiles, it is easy for Him to do that for believing Jews, who fell through unbelief, isn't it? He can do anything ! Therefore, the OLIVE TREE under both the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, is the SPIRITUAL ISRAEL OF ALAHIM. Under the Old Covenant, the OLIVE TREE and branches consisted of all those who were believing Israel, those of belief. Under the New Covenant, the OLIVE TREE and branches consisted of all those (both Jew and Gentile) whose belief shared that of Abraham’s. The New Covenant made it possible for Gentiles to be grafted into the BELIEVING OLIVE TREE with believing Israel. There is only one body of believing Jews and Gentiles. There is only one OLIVE TREE of believing Jews and Gentiles. There is only one "Israel of Alahim", and that is in reality, the SPIRITUAL ISRAEL OF YAHUSHA ALAHIM.   The "oil tree" enjoys the ministry, anointing and operations of Yahusha’s Spirit under the NEW COVENANT OLIVE TREE . To say (as some do) that the OLIVE TREE is NATURAL and NATIONAL ISRAEL is to say that believing gentiles become part of the natural and national Israel! This cannot be so! For all believing Jews and Gentiles become part of the ETERNAL & SPIRITUAL ISRAEL - THE BELIEF OLIVE TREE! One cannot make Jews Gentiles or Gentiles to become Jews. However, "IN MESSIAH” they become "A NEW CREATURE", the one new man, and the true and spiritual “ISRAEL OF ALAHIM”, and branches together in THE BELIEF OLIVE TREE! 2. NEW COVENANT FIG TREE When we come to the symbolic FIG TREE, Yahusha is the One who gives us the clearest insight concerning this tree. The FIG TREE has its distinctive symbolic truth, even as the OLIVE and the VINE. Having considered the Old Covenant revelation of the FIG TREE , we now consider what Yahusha said about the FIG TREE even though His Words have been misinterpreted when it comes to the “budding of the fig tree”. In LUKE 13:6-9 we have Yahusha’s Parable of the FIG TREE. However a proper spiritual understanding is necessary to save one from covenantal confusion! "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and sought fruit thereon and found none. Then he said to the dresser of his vineyard, 'Behold, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground'? And he answered, saying unto him, 'Yahuah, let it alone this year also, till I dig it about and dung it, and if it bear fruit, well and if not, then after that you will cut to down”. The INTERPRETATION of the PARABLE is seen in the following: * The certain man represents Yahusha Messiah Himself. * The vineyard represents the nation of Israel (Refer to Isaiah 5:1-7). * The fig tree represents the Jewish people. * The three years, plus the additional year of mercy, represent the six months of ministry of John the Baptist, plus the three and a half years of Yahusha’s ministry. * The fruitlessness of the fig tree represents the lack of "fruits unto repentance" in Jewry that John called for (LUKE 3:7-9). This was before the axe was laid to the root of the trees. * The dresser of the vineyard represents Yahuah, who, in His mercy, extends further ministry to Jewry, hoping to obtain fruit. * Judgment is pending. If the fig tree bears fruit, great! If not, then it is to be cut down! All of this is clearly applicable to the divorced and fruitless Jewish nation, the FIG TREE NATION. Of course, this picture is incomplete without a consideration of Yahusha’s judgment on an actual fig tree, declaring further symbolic truth about the Jewish nation. MARK 11:12-14, 20-21 with MATTHEW 21:18-22 should be read together. Yahusha had come from Bethany en route to Jerusalem. Seeing a FIG TREE afar off having leaves, He came hoping possibly to find some fruit on it. However, HE FOUND NOTHING BUT LEAVES! The time of the figs was not yet due. Yahusha uttered a curse and said to the fig tree, “No man will eat fruit from you again, forever”. The disciples were amazed, as they passed by in the morning, to see the fig tree dried up from the roots. The curse of the Master had caused it to wither away. What is the significance of this act? Yahusha was not in the habit of cursing fig trees just because they had no fruit, or just to display His power. So, what is the interpretation of this actual yet symbolic act?  * The fig tree represents again the Jewish people. This has already been confirmed in both the prophets of the Old Covenant and the parables of Yahusha in the New Covenant. * Yahusha came expecting to find some fruit in Jewry even though it was not the time for the full fruit. It should be explained that the fig tree bears a first crop of figs before the leaves come. Then the leaves come, and after that the second crop, even though the time for the second crop was not yet due. Again, we remind ourselves of the Scriptures, which called for ‘fruits of repentance and righteousness' from the Jewish nation.  * Yahusha found in Jewry nothing but leaves of ritualism, professionalism, hypocrisy, ceremonialism and legalism. All such were like Adam and Eve, "covering themselves with fig leaves" to make themselves presentable and acceptable to Alahim. Jewry had nothing but leafy and fruitless formalism. * Yahusha utters a curse on the fig tree. No fruit will ever again be seen on the fig tree. Thus, Judaism will never again be fruitful in the earth. * The end result is that the fig tree is "dried up from its roots". It is "cursed" !!!!!! It "withers away" !!!!! If the FIG TREE is Jewry (and most expositors and people with brains say it is), then both the parable of LUKE 13:6-9 and the cursing of the barren (but leafy) fig tree in Matthew and Mark show the tragic end and judgment of Alahim on the Jewish nation. The nation, spiritually, is "dried up from the roots", "withered away" and under "the curse" of the broken law (GAL 3:13, DEUT 21:23, MATT 27:24-25, MATT 23). Jewish Judaism will never bring forth fruit again. It is "cut down" and (as John the Baptist said) the "axe is laid to the root of the trees" (LUKE 3:7-9). The only hope for the Jew (just as for the Gentle) is "IN YAHUSHA!" But it will be asked. What about "the budding of the fig tree" that Yahusha spoke about? Doesn't it talk about a restoration of the Jewish nation? To discover the answer, the Scriptures in question need to be considered and interpreted properly and in the light of these previous Scriptures we have looked at. We should read carefully MATT 24:32-34; MARK 13:28-30, and LUKE 21:29-32. Yahusha is foretelling the events about the destruction of Jerusalem under the Roman armies and also on to His second coming. Amid these details, He tells another "parable of the fig tree". This parable cannot be used to contradict the previous parable of the fig tree! LUKE 21 cannot contradict LUKE 12. The parable of the FIG TREE tells us that, when the branch is tender and its leaves begin to come, it is a sign in nature that summer is near. Luke says that it is not only the FIG TREE but "all the trees". When all the trees shoot forth the leaves of their branches, then it is a sign in nature that summer is near. Each of the Gospels gives the same interpretation. “So likewise you when you see these things (ie signs of false messiahs, wars, rumours of wars, famine, pestilences and earthquakes, or "the leaves"), then know that the kingdom of Alahim is at hand. Truly I say to you, THIS GENERATION will not pass until all these things be fulfilled. This parable of the FIG TREE  has nothing to do with the restoration of the Jewish nation in a future time. It concerned the judgments under Prince Titus and the Roman Armies in AD70 and the destruction of the city and temple, and the desolation of the land and the Jewish people - THIS GENERATION! It will be worthwhile to put down the two parables in contrastive form to show the truth of it all : There is absolutely no way that the latter parable can be used to contradict the previous parable and the curse of Yahusha on the fig tree. There is nothing about a "restoration of the Jewish nation" taught in anything about the FIG TREE! The only other references to “fig trees" are found in JAMES 3:12, REV 6:12, MATT 7:16 and LUKE 6:44. Undoubtedly, it is significant that the New Covenant does not specifically liken the New Covenant Bridal Believer to the FIG TREE for we are likened to the OLIVE TREE (ROM 11:16-24) and to the VINE TREE (JOHN 15:1-16). However, it is not specifically likened to the FIG TREE. The only possible allusion to believers speaks of “the figs” and “the grapes” in MATT 7:16 & LUKE 6:14, and then “THE FIG TREE” and “THE OLIVE BERRIES” in JAMES 3:12.  Yahusha does speak of "good trees bringing forth good fruit" and "evil trees bringing forth evil fruit". A tree is known by its fruit (MATT 7:16-19). The FIG TREE in JER 24 had "good figs" and "evil figs", and they were blessed and judged accordingly. We bring this section on the fig tree to some concluding practical lessons. The New Covenant believer ( e they Jews or Gentiles) is likened to "a tree planted by the rivers of water" (PS 1:1-3). Believers are called “trees of righteousness”, the planting of Yahuah, that He may be glorified” (IS 61:3). However, if we, (just as with Jewry) have no fruit (RIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOUR 9 FRUITS) and nothing but the leaves of ritual and professionalism, then the same judgments will fall on us. These are the lessons we learn from the FIG TREE! ... IT'S ALL ABOUT BEHAVIOUR ISN'T IT ?? 3. NEW COVENANT VINE TREE The third and final tree is the VINE TREE. Just as this was a symbol of the Old Covenant Israel, so it is used to symbolise Yahusha and His Bride, the New Covenant Israel, as will be seen. However, the teaching of Yahusha to His disciples relative to the symbolic VINE TREE needs to be considered first, for such actually brings an end to the Old Covenant VINE TREE. As noted earlier, the Psalmist cried to Alahim, "the Man of the right hand" and "the Son of Man" to visit the Israel vine (PS 80:14). In the Parable, the Father sent His own Son to visit the vineyard, but what was the end result? In MATT 21:33-46, we have another parable of Yahusha. The parable tells of a certain householder who planted a vineyard, hedged it round about, dug a winepress, built a tower in it and let it out to husbandmen as he was in a far country. The time came to receive the fruit of the vineyard. Servant after servant was sent to receive the fruit. However, the husbandmen beat, stoned and killed these servants. Other servants were sent and ill-treated also. Finally, the Son was sent. The householder expected reverence for His Son. But the Son was killed as the husbandmen sought to gain the inheritance. The final judgment came. The vineyard was taken from them and given to other husbandmen who would render the fruits in due season. The interpretation should be clear to us. The parable is very similar in some aspects to that "Song of the Beloved's Vineyard" in ISAIAH 5, as seen earlier. * Alahim (the Father image) is the householder and owner of the vineyard. * Israel had its religious leaders who were the husbandmen. * Alahim expected fruit from the vineyard nation. * The servants were the prophets who were ill-treated and rejected, at times suffering. * Finally, the Father came as the Son-Image to visit the vine and receive some fruit. * The political and religious leaders killed Him, casting Him outside the city. * The vineyard (the kingdom) was taken from the religious leaders of Jewry and given to another clean nation (the leaders of the Bridal Assembly in Acts) to bring forth fruits in their seasons. The truth is basic to each of the trees. YAHUSHA WANTS FRUIT. If there is not fruit, He deals accordingly. The only purpose for a fruit tree's existence is to produce fruit for Alahim. It is in the light of this that we turn now to Yahusha's teaching on the VINE TREE with a relationship to the New Covenant believers. The outstanding passage on the New Covenant vine is found in JOHN 15:1-16 , as taught by Yahusha at the last supper to His Disciples. We note the major lessons to be learnt from Yahusha on the vine. (a) Yahusha is the TRUE VINE (the real, the genuine). Under the Old Covenant, Moses was the vine, and the tribes of Israel were the branches grafted into him. But as we saw, Israel became a degenerate, empty vine and failed to bring forth the fruit (behaviour) to Alahim. Therefore, they became a useless vine. There is also "a vine of the earth that is to be cast into the winepress of the wrath of Alahim" (REV 14:18-20). Now, however, under the New Covenant, Yahusha replaces Moses. YAHUSHA IS THE TRUE VINE! (b) In parabolic imagery, the Father is the husbandman and cares for His beloved Son, the vine. (c) Believers in Yahusha (Jews or Gentiles) are the branches. They are to bring forth fruit. The secret of fruit-bearing is abiding in Yahusha. The vine does not bear fruit. The branches are the fruit bearing part of the vine. So the Bride are the fruit bearing part of Yahusha. (d) Alahim Yahusha purges and prunes the believer-branches to bring forth fruit (vs 2), more fruit (vs 2) and much fruit (vs 5). (e) If believers do not abide in Yahusha, they are cut off from the source of life; that is, the DIVINE SAP-LIFE OF HIS SPIRIT! The Spirit is the life of Yahusha the vine, flowing into the believer’s branch to bear the fruit of the Spirit. Fruitless branches are burned in the fire (vs 6). (f) Alahim Yahusha has chosen the believer and anointed him to "bring forth fruit and the fruit to remain" (vs 16). Believing Jews and Gentiles are the branches in the New Covenant vine, "IN YAHUSHA!" IN CONCLUSION we summarise some of the great lessons we learn from "the parable of the three trees", symbolic of the old and the new, the natural and the spiritual Israel: 1. THE OLIVE TREE  speaks of the true, spiritual and anointed Israel of Alahim, both Old Covenant believing Israel, and now New Covenant believing Jews and Gentiles who may be grafted "INTO YAHUSHA". 2. THE FIG TREE  speaks of the true and spiritual and fruitful "Israel of Alahim". The good figs are the faithful. The evil figs are the unfaithful. Old Covenant and New Covenant believers have to bear good fruit from a good root (heart). The Jewish nation comes under the curse of Yahusha for its leafy but fruitless forms of worship. The same is true for a fruitless but leafy Bride today (those declaring Yahusha). 3. THE VINE TREE  speaks of Yahusha and His Bride bringing forth fruit unto Alahim, the New Covenant vine, to bring forth fruit unto Yahusha’s glory. The issue is fruitfulness unto Alahim. It is the FRUIT OF BELIEF! We either make a good tree and our fruit good, or a corrupt tree and our fruit corrupt. Every tree is known by its fruits! The trees of Yahusha are full of sap and are called "the trees of righteousness, the planting of Yahusha". (IS 61:3). Believing Jews and believing Gentiles are YAHUSHA ALAHIM'S NEW COVENANT TREES This is the Israel that is to "take root downward and bear fruit upward" and "take root, and fill the face of the earth with fruit'. Understanding the parable of these three trees will help bring the believer out of the covenantal confusion about the True Israel of Yahusha Alahim!

  • INVADED

    ARE THERE UNCLEAN SPIRITS CONTROLLED BY SATAN PESTERING MEN AND WOMEN ON THIS EARTH? Hebrew  for " INVADE " : to break off or loose (in a favourable or unfavourable sense) - i.e. desist (from grief) or invade (with destruction):--comfort, (recover) strength(-en). to crowd upon - i.e. attack:--invade, overcome. to spread out (i.e. deploy in hostile array) - by analogy, to strip (i.e. unclothe, plunder, flay, etc.):--fall upon, flay, invade, make an invasion, pull off, put off, make a road, run upon, rush, set, spoil, spread selves (abroad), strip (off, self). ROMANS 13:1-14 "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from god/Alahim, and those that exist have been instituted by Alahim. Therefore, whoever resists the authorities resists what god/Alahim has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is god/Alahim's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of god/Alahim, an avenger who carries out God’s/Alahim's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore, one must be in subjection, not only to avoid god’s/Alahims’ wrath but also for the sake of conscience". 1 THESSALONIANS 5:21 "But test everything; hold fast what is good". 1 CORINTHIANS 6:19-20 "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Spirit within you, whom you have from god/Alahim? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify god/Alahim in your body". 1 PETER 5:8 "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour". REVELATION 17:1-18   "Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, 'Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.' And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: 'Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and earth's abominations.'” JAMES 4:7-8   "Submit yourselves therefore to god/Alahim. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to god/Alahim, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded". I think if we review the instruction from the word 'INVADE' and Scriptures above, it is obvious these creatures have an invasion-plan to conquer the minds and hearts of men and women on this earth.  Whether or not we want to accept this, the Scripture in the Revelation shows us the immediate state of humanity. THE BEAST IS A SYSTEM OF MORALITY AND BEHAVIOUR THAT HAS INVADED HUMANITY.   Pursuing the beast's moral-system leads us to destruction with no way out!  Praise Yahusha that He came with His message of DELIVERANCE over the power of evil. For those who want deliverance, Yahusha has given us a way out (a back door if you suppose). In your thinking life, are you sometimes hearing suggestions to do and behave certain things that you argue with in your head? Are there voices prompting you? Do you feel pressure to behave and act on these thoughts, multitudes of times when acted on? They are disastrous, causing our inward parts to experience stress, anger and many other emotional experiences that LOCK UP OUR INNER PARTS and mindset. We feel like we're not what we were, and that we're losing our freedoms. Hearing and acting on these thoughts is definitely an invasion of your mind and heart from a wicked place. If you want to stop this from happening to you, Yahusha's message of deliverance will set you completely free. He warns us to arrest our thoughts and check them with the knowledge of His word before taking another step. If you find the thought does not line up with the knowledge of Scripture, then don’t do it !! If you want to stop this invasion, YAHUSHA HAS PREPARED SPIRITUAL ARMOUR for us to wear to stop the invading spirits entering our bodies and using us to implement the behaviour of the whore on the beast who controls all unclean spirits to STOP THE HEARTS and minds of men and women FROM FINDING TRUE LOVE which comes from Yahusha. IF YOU FIND YOU ARE IN A PLACE WHERE YOU ARE NOT FREE, FULL OF LOVE, HOPE AND HAPPINESS, THIS IS A SIGN THAT THE WICKED WHORE'S MINDSET, USING THE BEAST'S SYSTEM, IS CONTROLLING YOUR LIFE. Deliverance from this wicked place can only be through the name of Yahusha... no other name can deliver you. We accept Yahusha as god/Alahim. Yahusha told us to pick up our stake and follow Him into the Narrow Gate, and receive the "BAPTISM OF SPIRIT" which will give us a new heart, spirit and mind. It’s called "the circumcision of the heart". Also, the "BAPTISM OF FIRE" is the cleansing of the water of the Word, where your old, corrupt seed will be replaced with an incorruptible seed of Eternal Life. This is your deliverance from the power of Satan! One more warning: As you go to enter the gate, you will find merchandisers and carpet-baggers, religious and political, men and women, trying to stop your entrance. If you listen to or believe them, they will take you back to the house of the dead! Remember, there is no other name above heaven and earth that will set you free, ONLY YAHUSHA! HE IS YOUR ONLY DELIVERANCE! There are many false names, so don’t be deceived!  Also, remember, you’re the only one that can make up your mind whether you want to be : 1. Invaded by the whore's mindset, or 2. Free in Yahusha, living His instructions. Scripture says, if we are living the fruits of righteousness, no law can touch us! YAHUSHA IS ALAHIM.
