Please read this whole chapter first to get the full context:
MATT 28: 1Now after the Shabath, toward dawn on the 1st day of the week, Miryam from Magdala and the other Miryam came to see the tomb. 2And see, there was a great earthquake, for a messenger of Yahuah came down out of heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. 3And his appearance was like lightning, and his garments as white as snow. 4And the guards trembled for fear of him, and became like dead men. 5And the messenger responding, said to the women, “Do not fear, for I know that you seek Yahusha who was staked. 6He is not here, for He was raised, as He said. Come, see the place where the Master lay. 7And go quickly, say to His talmidim that He was raised from the dead, and see, He is going before you to Galil. There you shall see Him. See, I have told you.” 8And they left the tomb quickly, with fear and great joy, and ran to report to His talmidim. 9And as they were going to report to His talmidim, see, Yahusha met them, saying, “Greetings!” And they came and held Him by the feet and did bow to Him. 10Then Yahusha said to them, “Do not fear. Go, report to My brothers, to go to Galil, and they shall see Me there.” 11And while they were going, see, some of the watch having gone into the city, reported to the chief priests all that took place. 12And when they came together with the elders and taken counsel, they gave enough silver to the soldiers, 13saying, “Say that His talmidim came at night and stole Him away while we slept. 14And if this should be reported to the governor, we shall win him over and keep you out of trouble.” 15And having taken the silver they did as they were instructed. And this account (the lie of the chief priests) was widely spread among the Yahudim TO THIS DAY! 16And the 11 talmidim went away into Galil, to the mountain which Yahusha had appointed for them. 17And when they saw Him, they bowed to Him, but some doubted. 18And Yahusha came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19Therefore, go and make talmidim of all the nations, immersing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Ruach ha’Qodesh, 20teaching them to GUARD ALL THAT I HAVE COMMANDED YOU. And see, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”.
Now take a deep breath brothers and sisters . . . here we go . . .
QUESTION 1: Where in this chapter does Yahusha tell us this is His "Great Commission" (ie the most important thing He ever instructed us)?
QUESTION 2: Who is Yahusha talking to? Us or the 11 talmidim?
CORRECT RUACH-CONTEXT IS SO IMPORTANT!!! The first half of Matt28 is dealing with the aftermath of Yahusha's death and the response from His talmidim and also THE GREAT LIE that the Chief Priests and elders spread to hide their embarrassment and cover-up the miraculous power of Yahusha's Resurrection. Notice the text tells us that THIS LIE IS STILL BELIEVED TO THIS DAY ie MANY STILL DENY THE RESURRECTION OF OUR MASTER YAHUSHA TODAY. And as we know, without a firm belief in Yahusha conquering death, there can be no deliverance or overcoming of evil in the power of His Name, through His Blood!
Even though ALL Scripture is for our teaching, reproof and encouragement, if we actually strip back what we've been taught by men for so long and just read the story for what it is, we realise that YAHUSHA WASN'T EVEN TALKING TO US!! He was talking to His 11, addressing the solution to the lie covering up His resurrection....... and His solution? Simple!! Just go and tell them the truth! No hassles, no dramas, no stress, just go and set the record straight and BE MY WITNESSES (a witness was something that they WERE not something that they DID).
THIS WAS THE INSTRUCTION TO THOSE TALMIDIM WHO HAD LIVED AND WALKED WITH HIM, HAD BEEN TRAINED BY YAHUSHA HIMSELF AND KNEW THE TRUTH ABOUT THE LIE THAT WAS TOLD.
So let's get this straight..... after walking and talking with Yahusha for over three years, having one-on-one loving times and conversations, seeing how He treated people, how He handled the religious folk using the Word ever so cunningly and cleverly, standing alongside Him, then experiencing the hatred that came from the nation against Him and Yahusha's brutal death, the devastation and mourning and unbelief they must have felt . . all to have Him do what He said He would and raise from the dead . . . to look upon and feel and embrace their Master once more . . . .
WHAT WAS THEIR RESPONSE TO HIM LEAVING??
THEY DID NOTHING!! THEY WENT HOME, BACK TO THEIR WORK, THEIR FAMILIES, THEIR LIVES. THEY PUT THEIR HEADS DOWN AND STAYED INCOGNITO FOR FEAR OF THE PRUSHIM AND ROMANS AFTER THE GREAT COMMOTION AND LIES TOLD SURROUNDING YAHUSHA'S DEATH.
Then just over a month later came the Feast of Shabuoth - the Anniversary of the 10 Commandments (Marriage Covenant given at Sinai) . . .
QUESTION 3: Did the Talmidim do anything on the Day of Pentecost or did Yahusha Himself do EVERYTHING?
These emissaries came out of the upper room speaking in foreign languages (not spiritual gobble-de-gook religious babblings but ACTUAL REAL LANGUAGES that people from other nations understood) and Yahusha knew that in an age without satellite technology and social media, spreading the truth from one person to another in all languages would UNVEIL THE LIE ABOUT HIS DEATH and open the doorway to deliverance for all peoples and nations to hear the message of deliverance.
No where are we instructed to take on these instructions as our own! They were for certain men of a certain time. They were not moral-covenant-instructions but specific, circumstancial customary requirements to spread the Besorah at the beginning of the first century.
QUESTION 5: Is a special kind of training required before someone is mature enough, able to behave themselves and able to "make" talmidim or witness the love of Yahusha to another?
Where does this training come from?
Yahusha told them to wait!! They didn't go straight out and start sewing banners, buying up concert instruments and setting up their facebook groups ready to argue with all those wicked prushim did they.......AND THEY NEVER DID!! They never promoted themselves at all whether by name or by sect or by group, they were so besotted in their individual love affair with the risen Master that all they wanted to do was spread the message of the amazing love they felt. It couldn't be squashed, held-back or hindered by any worldly authority. TO THEM IT WASN'T A MOVEMENT OR BEING OBEDIENT TO A COMMISSION. IT WASN'T A BANNER TO RALLY AROUND OR TO GET OTHERS TO DRESS OR ACT A CERTAIN WAY. IT WAS INDIVIDUAL, IT WAS PERSONAL AND IT WAS POWERFUL!
So with Yahusha’s Ruach as our chief-guide, witness and interpreter within, it becomes quite crystal clear that by dangerously transposing ourselves into this ascension account (as religious non-Ruach filled-men over the centuries would have us) we not only make mockery and folly Yahusha’s true Name and Covenant by attaching wicked religious behaviour to His Besorah of truth, thereby rendering it powerless and associating ourselves with Christendom and various other religions through in-your-face, aggressive tactics to “save and convert the world” - we also add heartache and burden onto ourselves through lack of a simple understanding: YAHUSHA HAS ALREADY CHOSEN HIS BRIDE. IT’S DONE - HE DOESN’T NEED US TO SCOURE THE EARTH FOR HER, BECAUSE FRANKLY ITS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS WHAT THE TRUE BRIDE IS DOING OR WHERE SHE IS. OUR ONLY TASK IS TO OVERCOME THIS WORLD AND RUN OUR OWN RACE AND THROUGH THIS PROCESS YAHUSHA WILL BUILD IN US THE TRUSTWORTHINESS TO PERHAPS ASSIST HIM IF SOMEONE “HE HAS CHOSEN” NEEDS ASSISTANCE FOR A MOMENT OR CERTAIN TIME.
YAHUSHA DOES EVERYTHING!!! . . . . .NOT US!!! It is not our task to judge other people who may declare they are Yahusha’s Bride. If we are instructed to speak out, then we do, then we move on down the pathway of deliverance, because despite what you or I may believe : THERE WILL ALWAYS BE ANOTHER THING TO OVERCOME AND PERFECT IN OURSELVES UNTIL THE DAY OUR WONDERFUL MASTER RETURNS. Can you imagine how much money has been collected in the name of crusades, missionaries, outreaches and movements over the centuries, despite all carrying a portion of the truth, none possessed the correct bridal behaviour of an individual overcomer who has sold over his whole being, is being disciplined, trained and ordering His mind and life in waiting, incognito, watching, ready to serve Yahusha whenever instructed to speak or help or guide or remain silent. This is the true Bride; she is absolutely besotted with her groom and won’t fall for some religious mandate or great commission to decide how she should go out and WITNESS because she’s already seen her Master, felt His love and shining deliverance surge through her. SHE’S ALREADY A WITNESS and she’s making sure it’s her Master’s desire before she opens her mouth and throws out pearls into the world. She would never debase herself or the special, secret royal invitation by behaving like a silly evangelist, broadcasting yet another religious message to the ears of an unrepentant society. There is poise, sensitivity and elegance in the way she wields her sword of truth and her message never comes back void, because it is coupled with a behaviour that cannot be defeated or worn down: Yahusha’s character. THE GREAT COMMISSION IS A HOAX BROTHERS AND SISTERS, ANOTHER PLOY BY THE ENEMY TO LEAD YOU DOWN A DARK PATH OF DELUSION WHERE YOU NOT ONLY END UP PRESSURED, POOR, DEFLATED AND EXAUSTED, BUT ACTUALLY THINK YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE ANOTHER HUMAN'S MIND AND GIVE THEM DELIVERANCE. THE TRUTH IS THAT NONE OF US WOULD CLOSE OUR MOUTHS IF A GENUINE PERSON WERE SEEKING DELIVERANCE AND LOVING-KINDNESS, BUT THAT IS VERY DIFFERENT TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE CHRISTIAN, MESSIANIC & NATSARIM RELIGIONS AT THE MOMENT! Don’t fall for these freaky great commission teachings by men with agendas. Run for your life and get yourself ready for the Wedding Feast. Guard your own deliverance at all costs !
NOW TAKE A LOOK ON GOOGLE AT THE COMPLETE JOKE AND MOCKERY RELIGION HAS GIVEN THEMSELVES THE RIGHT TO BEHAVE, ALL BECAUSE OF A GREAT COMMISSION!
