It is just coming to light that the Gospels; Matthew (Mattityahu),
Mark, and Luke and possibly even John (Yochanan), were actually written in the Hebrew
dialect and not in Greek or Aramaic as originally believed. What does this mean
to us?
The very words of Yeshua (Jesus) have lost their meaning when we read it
in our English language. They have been translated from a translation.
We don’t really understand what the word “Messiah” means.
I got the following off of another website I don’t remember
where and I hope they will not mind me using it. (I promise if I can find where
I got this from, I will give you the credit)
“We have read in Malachi 3:1 (Mal’akhi in the Tanakh) how this promised
Prophet would be God coming as a human Messenger to be the Mediator of a New
Covenant. So God promised Moses to send a human Prophet like him, who
would bring to them the Word of God without making them hear God speaking on
the mount and without seeing the fearful fire. The promised Prophet would come
to them in a humble way, as a human, just like Moses.
These are the main points in this prophecy:
The promised Messiah (the Prophet who is like Moses) would be a child of
Israel, He would be God incarnate who comes as a human and does not speak with
earthquakes and fires from the mount, and this human makes a New Covenant which
is different from the Covenant made through Moses, and thus He is the Mediator
of a New Covenant, as Moses was the mediator of the Old Covenant. No other
prophet was the mediator of a new covenant; they all followed the Covenant made
through Moses, and “all the prophets and the law have
prophesied unto John”, as Jesus said (Matthew 11:13);
this is John the Baptist who was the last prophet of the Old Covenant who was
greater than all the prophets as he introduced the Mediator of the New Covenant,
Jesus Christ, God incarnate Himself!
3. A human Mediator, just like Moses:
As we have seen above, the people trembled before the direct revelation of God
on the mount, so they needed a human mediator between them and God who could be
the mediator of the Covenant. And the Son of God, the Word, became flesh and
became one of us to reveal to us God whom no one has ever seen and lived: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have
contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of
grace and truth” (John 1:14); “No
one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the
Father, he hath declared [him].” (John 1:18) So the Son
of God Himself (the Word), the full expression of who God is, came as a
human to show us God and to be the human Mediator of this New Covenant.”
1 John 4:10
Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
10 Here is what
love is: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to
be the kapparah (propitiation) for our sins.
Propitiation is an action
meant to regain someone's favor or make up for something you did wrong.
Propitiation is a two-part act that involves appeasing the wrath of an offended person and being reconciled to him.

17 Thus
there were fourteen generations from Avraham to David,
fourteen generations from David to the Babylonian Exile,
and fourteen generations from the Babylonian Exile to the Messiah.
fourteen generations from David to the Babylonian Exile,
and fourteen generations from the Babylonian Exile to the Messiah.
18 Here
is how the birth of Yeshua the Messiah took place. When his mother Miryam was
engaged to Yosef, before they were married, she was found to be pregnant from
the Ruach HaKodesh. 19 Her husband-to-be, Yosef, was a man who did
what was right; so he made plans to break the engagement quietly, rather than
put her to public shame. 20 But while he was thinking about this, an
angel of Adonai appeared to him in a dream and said, “Yosef, son of David,
do not be afraid to take Miryam home with you as your wife; for what has been
conceived in her is from the Ruach HaKodesh. 21 She will give birth to
a son, and you are to name him Yeshua, [which means ‘Adonai saves,’] because he will save his people from their sins.”
22 All this
happened in order to fulfill what Adonai had said through the prophet,
(The name means, “God
is with us.”)
24 When Yosef
awoke he did what the angel of Adonai had told him to do — he took Miryam home to be his wife, 25 but he did not have
sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son, and he named him
Yeshua.************************************************************************
God loves us so very much. He desires to save all of us.
Ezekiel 18:23 (Yechezk’el)

23 Do I take any
pleasure at all in having the wicked person die?” asks Adonai Elohim. “Wouldn’t I prefer that he turn from his ways and live?
1 Timothy 2:3-4
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
3 This is good
and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to
be saved and to come to the [a]knowledge of the truth.**********************************************************************
I believe He has a plan to do that; He’s had it before His creation. He is the creator of heaven and earth; of all things visible and invisible. What is impossible for Him to do? Because He knew men (and angles) were going to screw things up. He planed for a way to fix things through His precious Son, Yeshua (Jesus).

Romans 11:32
Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
32
For God has shut up all mankind together in disobedience, in order that
he might show mercy to all.
**********************************************************************
YESHUAH (God) has made it where we can not see our true selves; the way we
are known by God and man. I believe God reveals in part to His chosen but even
them maybe not fully. The chosen are His first fruits; the ones who demonstrate
to the rest of us God’s grace. All that they do is done through God's Son,
Yeshua (Jesus), to give Father God glory, honor, and praise. Their work is not their
own, it is God’s.I believe that when God is nearing the end of this age, He will lift the veil from all of us and we all will see ourselves as known by God and man; the great and terrible day of the Lord. I am not going to like seeing what I’ve done and I will weep bitterly, just as the apostle Kefa (Peter) did Luke 22:61&62. All the terrible things I’ve done to others and my disobedience to God; Yeshua (Jesus) paid for. He stands in front of me and took the pain and suffering that I should have received.
Matthew 27
Mark 15
John 19
He took all that anger upon Himself and because we all will be in the same boat, so to speak, we will have so much shame that we will no longer be able to see the things others did.
I’ve often wondered what happens to the rest of us, the ones who God did not choose. Well, we are there too, just not inside the new Holy City Jerusalem.
Revelation 21:22-27
New American Standard Bible (NASB)22 I saw no [a]temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its [b]temple. 23And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth [c]will bring their glory into it. 25 In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be closed; 26and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it;27 and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those [d]whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Revelation 22:1-5
New American Standard Bible (NASB)The River and the Tree of Life
22 Then he showed me a river of the water of life, [a]clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of [b]the Lamb, 2in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve [c]kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; 4they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads.5 And there will no longer be anynight; and they [d]will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever.*************************************************************
1 Corinthians 13:12
