There is much confusion among men regarding who is The
Messiah. Some religions teach that He was a prophet,
others say He is God, some say He
is a Christian, and some say He is the Son of God. First,
we have to realize that the Bible is a mystery to most
people who attempt to “encode” it. I
heard some say that it is a book written by King James
or Shakespeare, a fictional book full of metaphors and
similes.
Well that would sound correct to someone who hasn’t
been given the spiritual eyes to see and the ears to
hear. This book was written by Hebrew Israelites, about
Hebrew Israelites, for Hebrew Israelites to teach the
world how to govern themselves according to the laws
that our Creator, YHWH Elohim (The LORD God) commanded
that we govern ourselves by and obey. It is the Israelites
wisdom, knowledge and understanding among the nations.
Because of the mysteries of the Bible, that YHWH only
reveals to His servants (Hebrew Israelites). There is
much controversy surrounding the much talked about but
misunderstood Messiah of the Hebrew Israelites |

- - - Yahshua Israel
(so-called Jesus Christ). It is my hope that by the time you
finish reading this article, it will become crystal clear
just who The Messiah really is.
King David
Just as the Children of Israel had done in selecting a King
who was tall and good looking outwardly when they chose Saul,
Samuel attempted to do the
same thing when he first encountered Jesse’s sons. But
YHWH said,
“Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his
stature,...for YHWH sees not as a man sees; for man looks
on the outward appearance, but YHWH looks on the heart.”
(I Sam 16:7)
David was a man after YHWH’s heart and although he did
error, he was a soldier for Israel. He loved his people and
even more he loved his God.
David was the greatest king that ever lead the Children of
Israel.
You’re probably wondering why I just dealt with king
David and
what does he have to do with the Messiah. Well, move forward
with me and let’s tie this all together.
The
Davidic Covenant
“And
it came to pass, when the king (David) sat in his house, and
YHWH had given him rest round about from all his enemies,
that the king said unto Nathan, the prophet. See now, I dwell
in an house of cedar, but the ark of Elohim (God) dwells within
curtains. And Nathan said to the king. Go, do all
that is in your heart; for YHWH is with you.”
(2 Sam 7:1-3)
David had a desire to build a magnificent house for YHWH Elohim
to dwell in. And YHWH said unto Nathan, “Go and tell
my servant David, Thus says YHWH, Shall you build me an house
for me to dwell in?
Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that
I brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt,
even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle...Now
therefore so shall you say unto my servant David, Thus says
YHWH of hosts, I took you from the sheepcote, from following
the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel; And I
was with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your
enemies out of your sight, and have made you a great name,
like unto the name of the great men who are in the earth.
Moreover, I will appoint a place for my people, Israel,
and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their
own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness
afflict them anymore, as before time....Also YHWH tells you
that He will make you an house!”
(2Sam 7:5-11)
Needless to say this moved David in his heart in a big way.
He prayed to YHWH and said, “For you have confirmed
to yourself your people, Israel, to
be a people unto you forever; and you, YHWH, are become their
God. And now, O YHWH Elohim, the word that you have spoken
concerning your servant, and concerning his house, establish
it forever, and do as you have said...And now, O YHWH Elohim,
you are that God, and your words are true, and you have promised
this goodness unto your servant:
Therefore now let it please you to bless the house of your
servant, that it may continue forever before you: for you,
O YHWH Elohim, have spoken it: and with your blessing let
the house of your servant be blessed forever.”
(2 Sam. 7:24-29)
YHWH made a covenant with David and promised him that it would
be his son, the fruit of his loins that He will set on his
throne. David would have a son, who would become YHWH’s
Son, and His kingdom would be everlasting.

"After king Saul (whom the Children of Israel
chose to be their first king) failed to do as
was commanded by YHWH, He sent the Prophet Samuel
to Jesse, the Bethlehemite (of the tribe of Judah),
saying, “I have provided me a king among
his sons.”
(I Sam 16:1) |

“And
when your days be fulfilled, and you shall
sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after
you, WHICH SHALL PROCEED
OUT OF YOUR BOWELS, and I will establish His
kingdom.
He shall build an house for my name, and I
will establish the throne of His kingdomFOREVER!
I will be His Father, and He shall be my Son. If He
commit iniquity, I will chasten Him with the rod of
men, and with the stripes of the children of men; But
my mercy shall not depart away from him,...And your
house and your kingdom
shall be established FOREVER before you;
your throne shall be established FOREVER.” |
