THOSE RESPONSIBLE - GOD the FATHER (Part 3)
Without the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of ALMIGHTY GOD, there
could have been no crucifixion scene for it was foreordained before the
foundation of the world that the ONLY-BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD would be "cut
off." Jews and Gentiles were gathered together against YESHUA
ha'MASHIACH "to do whatever YOUR (GOD'S) hand and YOUR purpose
determined before to be done." [Acts 4. 28] The HOLY ONE HIMSELF,
blessed be HE, was responsible for the death of the LORD Jesus the
UNIQUE ANOINTED ONE! In the very beginning it was GOD THE OMNISCIENT
PRE-INCARNATE WORD OF GOD WHO slew an animal in the Garden of Eden,
shedding its blood to provide coats of the skin to clothe and cover Adam
and Eve. This prefigures the "GREATER SACRIFICE" which the HIGH & LOFTY
ONE was to give for the redemptive atonement to "whosoever" will accept
HIS free gift. Before the creation of the earth it was in the mind of
the HEAVENLY FATHER that the SON would come to be come as HE was the
ONLY PERFECT SUBSTITUTE to die that those, believing on HIM, could live.
This SINLESS LAMB was "slain before the foundation of the earth" by the
determinate counsel of ALMIGHTY OMNIPOTENT GOD!
"The LORD (GOD THE FATHER) has laid on HIM (GOD THE SON) the iniquity
and guilt of all of us. But the LORD (FATHER GOD) chose to bruise HIM
(MESSIAH YESHUA); HE (GOD THE FATHER) put HIM (GOD THE SON) to grief and
crushed HIM. HE (LORD YESHUA) made HIMSELF an "OFFERING" for sin and
guilt, that HE might see offspring and have long life, and that by HIS
hand the LORD'S purpose might prosper." [Isaiah (Yeshayah) 53. 6, 10
Tanakh, Nevi'im]
Who bruised the HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL? Who put HIM to grief, and made HIS
soul an offering for sin? The MAJESTIC LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! MESSIAH
YESHUA HIMSELF foretold that, out of HIS great love, GOD would put HIM
to death, "YOU (GOD THE FATHER) commit ME (GOD THE SON) to the dust of
death." [Psalms (Tehillym) 22. 15 Tanakh, Kethuvim] The ETERNAL LORD
GOD could have prevented that awful scene on Golgotha's Cross by sending
legions of angels in defense of JESUS, HIS "ONLY BEGOTTEN SON." HE
could have, but as it is written, "HE WHO did not spare HIS OWN SON, but
delivered HIM up for us all." [Romans 8. 32] "When HE (YESHUA) came
into the world, HE said: 'Sacrifice and offering YOU did not desire, but
a body YOU have prepared for ME.' YESHUA continued, "Behold, I have
come to do YOUR will, O GOD.' HE takes away the first that HE may
establish the second. By that will we have been sanctified through the
offering of the body of JESUS CHRIST once for all." [Hebrews 10. 5, 9 -
10]
At JESUS' trial, Pilate told HIM that he had the power to release or
crucify HIM. YESHUA answered, "You could have no power at all against
ME unless it had been given you from above." [John 19. 11] "For GOD so
loved the world that HE GAVE HIS ONLY-BEGOTTEN SON, that whoever (Jew or
Gentile) believes in HIM should not perish but have everlasting life!"
[John 3. 16]
The crucifixion is not a "historical misunderstanding" nor is it a
"tragic event which ended in defeat." The Cross of Golgotha is a
FULFILLMENT of a DIVINE Decree made before the foundation of the world!
The death of the LORD YESHUA ha'MASHIACH is prophesied and we see the
manner of that death portrayed in type and symbol throughout the OLD
COVENANT; the furniture of the Wilderness Tabernacles was designed by
the LOVING CREATOR, then directed by the ALMIGHTY ONE, the LION OF
JUDAH, to be placed in the formation of a Cross!
When the Israelites were commanded to take up the Tabernacle to travel
to another place which the LORD would show them, they were to march with
the furniture in a Cross formation. When the people of Israel observed
that first Passover in Egypt, they were to kill an innocent, blameless,
spotless lamb, then take the blood and strike it on the two side posts
and the lintel of their houses. Taking the blood from the basin and
striking it on the threshold, the upper part of the doorpost and on the
two side posts again fashions the "Cross!" [Exodus/Shemot 12. 22]
The Breast of the Wave Offering which is waved (Side-to-Side motion),
and the Thigh of the Heave Offering which is raised and lowered
(Up-and-Down motion) . . . "their gift to the LORD, their sacrifice
offerings of peace" [Exodus/Shemot 29. 27-28] also form the semblance of
a Cross. Thus the LORD MESSIAH JESUS, through HIS death on a Cross
became the PEACE OFFERING reconciling us back to our HOLY GOD.
"O how I thank YOU, my BLESSED REDEEMER, my LORD and my GOD!"

In time of trouble one tends to make vows; in time of comfort to change
one's mind.
THOSE RESPONSIBLE € ¦’¶ MESSIAH (Part 2)
"I am the GOOD SHEPHERD. The GOOD SHEPHERD gives HIS life for the sheep.
Therefore MY FATHER loves ME because I lay down MY life that I may take
it again. No one takes it from ME, but I LAY IT DOWN of MYSELF. I have
power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I
have received from MY FATHER." [John 10. 11, 17 - 18]
YESHUA THE MESSIAH was not forced to die. HE consented to it, for HIS
FATHER had so commanded. When Peter took a sword and used it to defend
his BELOVED MASTER, JESUS rebuked him, "Put up your sword into the
sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which MY FATHER has given ME?" [John
18. 11] Our wonderful Lord drank the full cup of bitterness so we would
not have to.
It was prophesied in the OLD COVENANT that the MESSIAH would give
HIMSELF over to suffering and death. "I offered MY back to the floggers,
and MY cheeks to them that tore out MY beard, I did not hide MY face
from the shame of insult and spittle." [Isaiah (Yeshayah) 50. 6 Tanakh,
Nevi'im] Yes, the LORD YESHUA ha'MASHIACH gave HIS head to wear the
thorns for you; HE gave HIS cheeks to be smitten for you. "Let HIM
offer HIS cheek to the smiter; let HIM be surfeited with mockery."
[Lamentations (Ekhah) 3. 30 Tanakh, Kethuvim]
JESUS, the MAN OF SORROWS, gave HIS eyes to weep over your sins; HE gave
HIS tongue to pray for you; HE gave HIS back to be ploughed for you.
"Plowmen plowed across MY back; they made long their furrows." [Psalms
(Tehillym) 129. 3 Tanakh, Kethuvim]
JESUS , the MERCIFUL REDEEMER OF ISRAEL, then gave HIS side for you to
be pierced with a spear; His hands opened to the cruel nails; and He
gave His soul, an offering for you. Yes, He clothed Himself in a human
body that HE might have it to offer sacrificially for you. "Therefore,
when HE came into the world, HE said: 'Sacrifice and offering YOU did
not desire, but a body YOU have prepared for ME.'" Then HE added,
"Behold, I have come to do YOUR will, O GOD.' HE takes away the first
that HE may establish the second. By that will we have been sanctified
through the offering of the body of JESUS CHRIST once for all." [Hebrews
10. 5, 9 - 10]
YESHUA ha'MASHIACH possessed a human heart that it might be broken and
allowed HIS life's blood to be poured out that it might freely flow
giving HIS LIFE for the world! Who-so-ever will may freely receive this
PRECIOUS ATONEMENT for sin. Now is the acceptable time, now is the day
of salvation.

Sha'alu (Pray) for the shalom (Peace) of Jerusalem and all of
Israel!
Be blessed as we bid farewell to Shabbat! May the ALMIGHTY ONE, WHO
separates the holy from the secular, forgive our sins, guide our life,
fill our upcoming week with HIS DIVINE PRESENCE. Refresh yourself and
others through HIS wisdom & discernment, love & kindness- that some of
the sweetness of Sabbath be experienced daily.
If you perceive something so important to be willing to sacrifice your
own life for it, then your life has weight and purpose and direction;
because until you know what you are willing to die for, you have not yet
begun to live.
Tov Shavua (Have a good week)!

Praying for the peace of Jerusalem is praying for the return of Messiah
Jesus and His Kingdom.

Happy are those whose youth has not shamed their old age!

THOSE RESPONSIBLE - SATAN (Part 1)
One of the parties responsible for the death of the LORD MESSIAH YESHUA
is ha'Satan. We read of him in the very first promise of the coming
MESSIAH, where ALMIGHTY GOD spoke to the Serpent and said, "And I will
put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her
SEED (MESSIAH YESHUA); HE shall crush your head, and you will bruise HIS
heel." [Genesis (Bereshith) 3. 15 Tanakh, Torah]

The Old Serpent (Satan) would bruise the heel of the BLESSED REDEEMER,
and according to the prophecy, this was done. Literally and precisely,
in no other death but crucifixion would the heel of an individual
actually be bruised! CHRIST JESUS' heel did crush the head of the Old
Serpent (defeating him by HIS death, then raising victoriously from the
grave); and MESSIAH'S "heel" -- in crushing the Serpent's head, was
"bruised" as it was DIVINELY foretold!

It is the Devil who seeks to prevent OMNIPOTENT HOLY GOD'S plan and to
confuse the minds of the people. This Prince of Darkness is the evil
one who entered into the heart of Judas, planted hatred and aroused
jealousy in the Sadducees and Pharisees. He not only stirred them up,
but also promoted the lying scheme of the LORD JESUS' crucifixion.

Many claim that the persecution and the suffering visited upon the Jews
today is because at the hour of crucifixion the people of Israel
shouted: "Let HIS blood be upon us and upon our children." [Matthew 27.
25] This was a wicked prayer (if it could be called a prayer!) spoken
by unbelieving men. The blood of YESHUA ha'MASHIACH does not cry out
for vengeance or retaliation! IT WAS SHED FOR CLEANSING US FROM SIN,
and the LORD JESUS willingly laid down HIS life, "that the world through
HIM might be saved." [John 3. 17] Messiah Jesus the ANOINTED LORD OF
GLORY took no notice of the aforementioned request for it was said in
ignorance. Rather, HIS great compassion was expressed when HE cried:
"FATHER forgive them, for THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!" [Luke 23. 34]

Israel, as a nation, would have been doomed and no Jew could ever be
saved had they known HE was the MESSIAH and had rejected HIM. When
thousands of Jews were saved on Shavuoth (Day of Pentecost), JESUS our
GREAT HIGH PRIEST'S Prayer of Forgiveness from Golgotha's Cross was
answered and continues to be answered whenever a Jew or Gentile accepts
HIM as their MESSIAH, REDEEMER & LORD! [Acts 2. 1-42] Great is HIS
faithfulness.

Sha'alu (Pray) for the shalom (Peace) of Jerusalem and all of
Israel!
Good Sabbath! Welcoming the Queen of the Week like a beautiful bride.
Have a Day of peace and rest, love freely given - a rest of truth and
sincerity - a rest in peace and tranquility, in quiet and safety - a
perfect rest in which you find favour.
Our feet are standing at your gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem, built as a
City bound firmly together; where tribes once went up to give thanks
unto YEHOWAH, where thrones of justice were once set, thrones of the
House of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may those who love her
prosper. May peace be in her walls, tranquility in her towers. May
ADONAI bless us from Zion and let us see the good of Jerusalem. Let us
see our children's children and peace upon Israel.
Have a peaceful, enriching Shabbat with an objective to bless others.


Praying for the peace of Jerusalem is praying for the return of Messiah
Jesus and His Kingdom.
