Let’s Pray
-------------
My ministry is to bring up topics in the Bible that have never been
discussed, mentioned or deleted in your life that God wants you to know.
-------------
Today w use the Gregorian calendar (Pope Gregory,
1500's) – July 31, 2010
--------------
We restore the calendar of God
We are now in 5th
month of God, 18th day, which has no name
Change your Judaism calendars; Judaism
is wrong again by calling the 5th month Av, which is totally made
up.
No name Av in scripture for the 5th month.
------------
Question: Why are we here today?
Answer: We were told to remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy
The 4th
Commandment is a part of the covenant given to us at Mount Sinai in the 3rd
month, Sivan
Ex. 20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
[9] Six days shalt
thou labour, and do all thy work:
[10] But the
seventh day is the Sabbath of Yehovah thy God: in it thou shalt not do any
work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant,
nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
[11] For in six
days Yehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and
rested the seventh day: wherefore Yehovah blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed
it.

Today’s Topic:
Don’t forsake TaNaK, Torah (known as the Old Testament today)
Yeshua said:
John 5 [45] Do not think that I will accuse you
to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses,
in whom ye trust.
[46] For had ye believed Moses, ye would have
believed me: for he wrote of me.
[47] But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my
words?
--------------
Prov.30 [ 5 ] Every word of God is pure : he is a shield unto
them that put their trust in him.
--------------
Let's look at and consider these phrases in scripture:
The law and the prophets
It is written
It was written
It is said
It was said
In the scriptures

Some terms:
Torah (law, teachings)
Ta N a K is a acronym for:
T = Torah -
first 5 books of Moses
N = Navi' eem
or prophets (pl. sounds like - Na vi eem )
K = Ke'tuvim
or writings (psalms etc.)
These are the Scriptures.

I will only go over a few of these scriptures
These verses below show Moses is mentioned by Yeshua and
after Yeshua.
Matt.
8
[1] When he was come down from the mountain,
great multitudes followed him.
[2] And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou
wilt, thou canst make me clean.
[3] And Yeshua put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou
clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
[4] And Yeshua saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew
thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony
unto them.
----------------
Matt.
17
[1] And after six days Yeshua taketh Peter,
James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
[2] And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and
his raiment was white as the light.
[3] And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and
Elias talking with him.
[4] Then answered Peter, and said unto Yeshua, Lord, it is good for us to be
here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one
for Moses, and one for Elias.
[5] While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a
voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased; hear ye him.
----------------
[7] They say
unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement,
and to put her away?
[8] He saith
unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to
put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
----------------
Matt.
23
[1] Then spake Yeshua to the multitude,
and to his disciples,
[2] Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in
Moses' seat:
[3] All therefore whatsoever they bid
you observe, that observe and do; (in the TaNak) but do not ye after
their works: for they say, and do not.
[4] For they bind heavy burdens and
grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will
not move them with one of their fingers.
[5] But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad
their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
[6] And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the
synagogues,
[7] And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
[8] But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Messiah;
and all ye are brethren.
[9] And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father,
which is in heaven.
[10] Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Messiah.
[11] But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
[12] And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that
shall humble himself shall be exalted.
----------------
Mark
12
[18] Then come unto him the Sadducees,
which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
[19] Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and
leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take
his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
[20] Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying
left no seed.
[21] And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and
the third likewise.
[22] And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died
also.
[23] In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife
shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
[24] And Yeshua answering said unto them, Do
ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures,(TaNaK) neither the power of God?
[25] For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor
are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
[26] And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the
book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of
Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
[27] He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore
do greatly err.
----------------
Luke
2
[1] And it came to pass in those days,
that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be
taxed.
[2] (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of
Syria.)
[3] And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
[4] And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth,
into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was
of the house and lineage of David:)
[5] To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
[6] And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were
accomplished that she should be delivered.
[7] And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in
swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them
in the inn.
[8] And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field,
keeping watch over their flock by night.
[9] And, lo, the angel of Yehovah came upon them, and the glory of
Yehovah shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
[10] And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you
good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
[11] For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which
is Messiah the Lord.
[12] And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped
in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
[13] And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly
host praising God, and saying,
[14] Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward
men.
[15] And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into
heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem,
and see this thing which is come to pass, which Yehovah hath made known unto
us.
[16] And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe
lying in a manger.
[17] And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which
was told them concerning this child.
[18] And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told
them by the shepherds.
[19] But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
[20] And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the
things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
[21] And when eight days were accomplished
for the circumcising of the child, his name was called YESHUA, which
was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
[22] And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses
were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him Yehovah;
[23] (As it is written in the law of Yehovah, Every male that openeth
the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
[24] And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law
of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
----------------
[19] There was a certain rich man, which
was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
[20] And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his
gate, full of sores,
[21] And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich
man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
[22] And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the
angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
[23] And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth
Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
[24] And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send
Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue;
for I am tormented in this flame.
[25] But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime
receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is
comforted, and thou art tormented.
[26] And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf
fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they
pass to us, that would come from thence.
[27] Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send
him to my father's house:
[28] For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they
also come into this place of torment.
[29] Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses
and the prophets; let them hear them.
[30] And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from
the dead, they will repent.
[31] And he said unto him, If they hear not
Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from
the dead.
----------------
Luke 24
[13] And, behold, two of them went that
same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore
furlongs.
[14] And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
[15] And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and
reasoned, Yeshua himself drew near, and went with them.
[16] But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
[17] And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that
ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
[18] And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto
him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which
are come to pass therein these days?
[19] And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him,
Concerning Yeshua of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word
before God and all the people:
[20] And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be
condemned to death, and have crucified him.
[21] But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed
Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were
done.
[22] Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished,
which were early at the sepulchre;
[23] And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had
also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
[24] And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and
found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
[25] Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets
have spoken:
[26] Ought not
Messiah to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
[27] And beginning at Moses and all the prophets,
he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
----------------
John 1 [45] Philip
findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write,
Yeshua of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
----------------
John 3 [14] And as
Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man
be lifted up:[15] That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have eternal life.
----------------
John 7 [19] Did not
Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye
about to kill me?
[22]
Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses,
but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
[23] If a man on
the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of
Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a
man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
--------------------------------------
After the resurrection of Messiah Yeshua, Moses is still
mentioned
Acts 3 [22] For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet
shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him
shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
----------------
Acts 6 [11] Then
they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
---------------------
Don't disregard the TaNaK (known as the Old Testament)
You better know it as Stephen did
Stephen gives an account of the history in TaNaK then
mentions Moses
Acts
7
[1] Then
said the high priest, Are these things so?
[2] And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory
appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt
in Charran,
[3] And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy
kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
[4] Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in
Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this
land, wherein ye now dwell.
[5] And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set
his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and
to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.
[6] And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a
strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them
evil four hundred years.
[7] And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said
God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.
[8] And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat
Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob
begat the twelve patriarchs.
[9] And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God
was with him,
[10] And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour
and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over
Egypt and all his house.
[11] Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and
great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
[12] But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our
fathers first.
[13] And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and
Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
[14] Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his
kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
[15] So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
[16] And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that
Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.
[17] But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to
Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
[18] Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
[19] The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers,
so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.
[20] In which time Moses was born, and was
exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months:
[21] And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and
nourished him for her own son.
[22] And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was
mighty in words and in deeds.
[23] And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to
visit his brethren the children of Israel.
[24] And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged
him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
[25] For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by
his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
[26] And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and
would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye
wrong one to another?
[27] But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who
made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
[28] Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
[29] Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of
Madian, where he begat two sons.
[30] And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the
wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
[31] When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to
behold it, the voice of Yehovah came unto him,
[32] Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abrham, and the God
of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.
[33] Then said Yehovah to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the
place where thou standest is holy ground.
[34] I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in
Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And
now come, I will send thee into Egypt.
[35] This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a
judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the
angel which appeared to him in the bush.
[36] He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in
the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
[37] This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A
prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto
me; him shall ye hear.
[38] This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel
which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the
lively oracles to give unto us:
[39] To whom our fathers would not obey,
but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
[40] Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as
for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is
become of him.
[41] And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the
idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
[42] Then
God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in
the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain
beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
[43] Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god
Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away
beyond Babylon.
[44] Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he
had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the
fashion that he had seen.
[45] Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Yeshua into
the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our
fathers, unto the days of David;
[46] Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for
the God of Jacob.
[47] But Solomon built him an house.
[48] Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as
saith the prophet,
[49] Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye
build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
[50] Hath not my hand made all these things?
[51] Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always
resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
[52] Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they
have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye
have been now the betrayers and murderers:
[53] Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have
not kept it.
[54] When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they
gnashed on him with their teeth.
[55] But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into
heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Yeshua standing on the right hand of God,
[56] And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man
standing on the right hand of God.
[57] Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and
ran upon him with one accord,
[58] And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses
laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
[59] And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Yeshua, receive my spirit.
[60] And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not
this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
---------------------
Don't disregard the TaNaK (known as the
Old Testament)
You better know it as Paul did.
Paul / Saul gives an account of the
history in TaNaK then mentions Moses
Acts 26
[1] Then
Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul
stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
[2] I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for
myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the
Jews:
[3] Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and
questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me
patiently.
[4] My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine
own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
[5] Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after
the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
[6] And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of
God unto our fathers:
[7] Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and
night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the
Jews.
[8] Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God
should raise the dead?
[9] I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things
contrary to the name of Yeshua of Nazareth.
[10] Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I
shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when
they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.
[11] And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to
blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto
strange cities.
[12] Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from
the chief priests,
[13] At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the
brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
[14] And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking
unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
[15] And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And
he said, I am Yeshua whom thou persecutest.
[16] But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee
for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things
which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
[17] Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom
now I send thee,
[18] To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and
from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins,
and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
[19] Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly
vision:
[20] But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and
throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should
repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
[21] For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about
to kill me.
[22] Having
therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to
small and great, saying none other things than those
which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
[23] That Messiah should suffer, and that
he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light
unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
[24] And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice,
Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
[25] But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the
words of truth and soberness.
[26] For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak
freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for
this thing was not done in a corner.
[27] King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou
believest.
[28] Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a
Messiahian.
[29] And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all
that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except
these bonds.
[30] And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor,
and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
[31] And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves,
saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
[32] Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at
liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
-----------------
[16] And when we came to Rome, the
centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was
suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.
[17] And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of
the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and
brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our
fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the
Romans.
[18] Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there
was no cause of death in me.
[19] But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal
unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.
[20] For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to
speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
[21] And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea
concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm
of thee.
[22] But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning
this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
[23] And when they
had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he
expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Yeshua, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from
morning till evening.
[24] And some believed the things which
were spoken, and some believed not.
[25] And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after
that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet
unto our fathers,
[26] Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and
shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
[27] For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are
dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with
their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and
should be converted, and I should heal them.
[28] Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent
unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
[29] And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great
reasoning among themselves.
[30] And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received
all that came in unto him,
[31] Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which
concern the Lord Yeshua Messiah, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.

Paul always quoted TaNaK and Moses
Rom. 5 [14]
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had
not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of
him that was to come.
--------------
Rom. 9 [15] For he
saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will
have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
--------------
Rom. 10 [5] For
Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which
doeth those things shall live by them.
[19] But I
say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to
jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
--------------
1 Cor. 9 [9] For it
is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the
ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
--------------
1 Cor. 10 [2] And were
all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
---------------
2
Cor.3 [1] Do we
begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of
commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
[2] Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
[3] Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Messiah
ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God;
not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
[4] And such trust have we through Messiah to God-ward:
[5] Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of
ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
[6] Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of
the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth
life.
[7] But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones,
was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the
face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done
away:
[8] How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
[9] For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the
ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
[10] For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect,
by reason of the glory that excelleth.
[11] For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which
remaineth is glorious.
[12] Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of
speech:
[13] And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children
of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
[14] But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same
vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away
in Messiah.
[15] But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their
heart.
[16] Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be
taken away.
[17] Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty.
----------------
2 Tim. 3 [8] Now as
Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth:
men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
--------------
Heb. 3 [1] Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly
calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Messiah
Yeshua;
[2] Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was
faithful in all his house.
[3] For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch
as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
[4] For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things
is God.
[5] And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a
testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
[6] But Messiah as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we
hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
[15] While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden
not your hearts, as in the provocation.
[16] For
some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt
by Moses.
[17] But with whom was he grieved forty
years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the
wilderness?
[18] And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but
to them that believed not?
[19] So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
----------------
Heb. 7 [14] For it
is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake
nothing concerning priesthood.
----------------
Heb. 8 [5] Who
serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was
admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he,
that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
-----------------
Heb. 9 [19] For
when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the
law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool,
and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
-----------------
Heb. 10 [28] He that
despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:[29]
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath
trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant,
wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the
Spirit of grace?
[30] For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will
recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
[31] It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
-----------------
Heb. 11 [23] By
faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents,
because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's
commandment.
[24] By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused
to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
[25] Choosing rather to suffer affliction
with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
[26] Esteeming the reproach of Messiah greater riches than the treasures
in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
[27] By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for
he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
[28] Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood,
lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
[29] By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the
Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
-----------------
Heb. 12 [21] And so
terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I
exceedingly fear and quake:)
-----------------
Jude 1 [9] Yet
Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the
body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but
said, The Lord rebuke thee.
-----------------
Rev. 15
[1] And I saw another
sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last
plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
[2] And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that
had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark,
and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of
God.
[3] And they sing the song of Moses the
servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and
marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou
King of saints.
[4] Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only
art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments
are made manifest.
-------------------
In
conclusion, remember Yeshua quoted Deut. 8:3
Deut. 8 [3] And he
humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou
knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that
man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of Yehovah doth man live.
Luke 4 [4] And
Yeshua answered him, saying, It is written,
That man shall not live by bread alone, but by
every word of God. At this point, there were neither gospels nor
letters.
Shabbat Shalom All!
