Beginning October 24, 1997 an event happened all over the world.  In   observant congregations, the Torah teaching was Genesis 1:1 "In the Beginning."  The Hebrew name for the passage is "Beresheet" (in the beginning).   Throughout the year a planned portion of the Torah (Genesis through Deuteronomy) is taught each Sabbath.  With the teaching of Beresheet, the cycle begins anew.

In the Beginning... is an important teaching which serves as a foundation for all Biblical teaching.  We tell how things came into being and how God blessed them.  We learn about light and darkness, about the earth and the stars, and how man and woman were made.  We find the origins of basic time keeping: a day, a week, and the Sabbath.  We discover the most basic of rules for a civilization, marriage and the family.  But there is more than just the beginning of everything expressed in this teaching.  There are four great mysteries presented to us.

The four great mysteries concern the Messiah, the Millennium, Marriage, and personal Faith.

The Mystery of the Messiah

A clue concerning the Messiah is hidden in the first seven Hebrew words, "Beresheet Bara Elohim Et HaShaman V'et Eretz."  "In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth," is missing one untranslated word.  Between God and the Heavens is the little Hebrew word "et."  It consists of the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet, aleph and tav.  It is not translated because it tends to connect the subject "God" with something acted upon "the Heavens and the Earth."

My point here is not to give you a beginning Hebrew lesson, but to highlight something you already know.  You know that the Messiah is above all in your faith.  In Him is the fullness of God.  In Him are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.  He is the first and the last, the author and finisher of our faith.  My point is that the Messiah is being introduced to us in the very first words of the Torah (Genesis 1:1).

How can I say with such certainty that the Messiah is being shown to us in this verse?  Listen to the first words of John, the beloved Apostle.  He tried to teach us this very important point.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God.  All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.  In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.  And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.  JOHN 1:1-5
Tav - Aleph (Remember that Hebrew is read from right to left) John is trying to tell us that in the first part of Scripture (Genesis 1:1) "In the beginning" there is a Word.  The Word is "et," [Aleph and Tav] the first and the last.  The Word was with God "Elohim" and the Word was God (our Messiah and King).  The word "et" [Aleph and Tav] became flesh and dwelt among us as Yeshua of Nazareth.

It is like a mystery to the world.  Right there in the first words of the Bible is the Messiah, the hope of the world.  Of the first seven words, He sits in the middle.  In various other places this same occurrence can be found.  For example, the prophet Zechariah spoke and used the "et" word in a very important passage.

And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me [et] whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him, like the bitter weeping over a first-born.  ZECH 12:10

In the Hebrew, the words "Me whom" are not to be found.  Instead, the word "et" is there.  It is the connection between those who are looking and He that was pierced.  We know this verse is Messianic and was partially fulfilled at the crucifixion.  However, the Messiah quoted this passage upon first seeing John in the book of Revelation.

Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him,[et] even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. Even so. Amen.  "I am the Alpha [Aleph] and the Omega [Tav]," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."  REV 1:7-8

And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as a dead man. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying, "Do not be afraid; I am the first [aleph] and the last [tav], REV 1:17

It makes more sense that a Hebrew Messiah talking to a Hebrew prophet probably spoke Hebrew and not Greek.  Therefore, the expression "Alpha and Omega" is highly unlikely.  More likely, Hebrew was spoken here resulting in "Aleph and Tav."  By looking at the Hebrew expression, the connectivity back to John chapter one and Genesis chapter one is self-evident.

So you see, the Messiah is introduced to us "in the beginning."  But there are other mysteries to be discovered in the beginning.  For example, when does it all end?

The Mystery of the Millennium

The prophet Isaiah lets us in on this great mystery, how the end is declared in the beginning.

Remember this, and be assured; recall it to mind, you transgressors.  Remember the former things long past, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things which have not been done, saying, "My purpose will be established, and I will accomplish all My good pleasure; calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of My purpose from a far country."  Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, surely I will do it.  ISA 46:8-11

According to Isaiah, God has shown His wisdom by "declaring the end from the beginning."  The creation story of how God created the universe and the earth in six days is hotly debated by modern man.  Science and religion are pitted together in a struggle between fact and faith.  Let us set all that aside for the moment and see if God somehow spoke of man's future and the end.

An amazing pattern in the creation story seems to match the Biblical account of history.  For each day of creation, there is a corresponding 1,000 year period of Biblical history.  If you recall, Adam was told that if he ate of the tree (knowledge of good and evil) that he would surely die in that day.

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die.   GEN 2:16-17

Now Adam ate of that tree, bringing darkness (sin) into the world, and he lived to be 930 years old.

So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died.  GEN 5:5

Obviously, Adam died in the first 1,000 year day.

From that beginning, the pattern follows with Noah and the flood in the second millennia.  On the third is the story of Abraham and Israel.  Abraham and the fathers were promised that in their seed would all the families of the earth be blessed.  Israel means "the planting of the Lord."  On the fourth, corresponding to the lights in heaven, were the period of the kings and prophets.  These men of insight are referred to as lights in heaven showing forth the signs and seasons of God.  On the fifth, the Messiah came to make us "new creatures."  On the sixth millennia, the one we live in, man and woman have filled and earth and subdued it.  In fact, we can go anywhere, leave and return, and have subdued all things.  The last day is Sabbath.  According to Revelation, the Messiah is to return and rule from Jerusalem for 1,000 years.  We call it the New Millennium.

According to Biblical chronologists, we are at or very near to the Biblical year 6,000.  The apostle Peter cautioned us very strongly concerning the return of the Messiah by saying,

But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  2PE 3:8

Clearly, the story of creation for all its scientific value and basis for faith also carries a tremendous prophetic message.  It tells us to expect the Messiah in our days.

The Mystery of Marriage

God created man and woman, first man out of the dust, and woman out of man using his rib.  He then joined man and woman making them one.  From this union comes our procreation.  The joining of the man and woman is called marriage.  But there is a mystery here.
 
For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.  This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Messiah and the church.  EPH 5:31-32

There is a special relationship in marriage unlike any other kind.  Some people treat marriage like a contract, a 50-50 kind and deal, ...and fail.  Marriage is not a contract; it is a product of a covenant made with vows.  Our relationship with God is also not a contract.  It is a covenant where God's Son has given us His life so that we might have life.  Just like the marriage relationship, God has chosen us over all others and prefers us to all others.  Therefore, our value is not based upon our opinion and self; instead, God has placed great value upon us by His choice.

Most couples use a ring to symbolize their vows of marriage.  The ring illustrates the mystery of marriage.  We know the ring was created but it appears to have no beginning nor end.  It is a symbol for eternity.  In the same way, our destiny with God is eternal.

Why would God choose us and value us above all others?  This may be the greatest of all mysteries.

The Mystery of Faith

The final  mystery "in the beginning" is the mystery of faith itself.  The Bible assumes that God exists and begins to describe things using this wisdom.  At what point do we accept this wisdom and begin to operate on the acceptance of Him.  Only you can solve this particular mystery, for every person must have a beginning point of faith.  The apostle Paul spoke of this mystery in the letter to the Corinthians.

Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God predestined before the ages to our glory; the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;  1CO 2:6-8

The hidden wisdom of our faith has been predestined for our glory before the ages.  There have been three ages, each lasting approximately 2,000 years.  Before the ages is the time known as "in the beginning."  The mystery of your faith is known only by you.  When will you begin to believe in Him?  Some begin to believe at the New Testament.  Some people don't believe the story of creation or the story of the flood with Noah's ark.  They say that they start believing somewhere else.  I believe we must start to believe "in the beginning."

Quite honestly, some people don't believe in the creation story.  However, they claim to believe in their future resurrection.  This seems strange, because God has promised to take the dust of the earth, recreate an incorruptible body, and breathe life back into them at the resurrection.  This is exactly as He created Adam in the beginning.  Not believing in the creation story is not believing in your own  resurrection.

Conclusion

The mystery of the Messiah, the Millennium, Marriage, and our Faith is not really a mystery at all.  We are a people with a beginning and with an end.  We are people with a destiny and a purpose.  We are a people with a Father and a heritage.  We are a people that have been chosen and belong.  We are a people that are loved and forgiven.  We are a people with a Savior and a King.

How could you ever share these great truths with another so that they could understand and appreciate all that we are and have?  It will be a complete mystery unless you start "in the beginning."

    I always wanted to write a book, and I finally did, it needs to be organized, proof read and corrected, and probably could use some updated material. But here is the unedited Chapter on Israel. Please visit "Outlaw" Christianity (html) or pdf file, to take a look at what I have put online so far, thanks.  I would appreciate any feedback on it, and pardon any grammar mistakes that I made, English was always my worst subject. Enjoy!

I S R A E L

    Let's start this chapter at a very negative point in the spiritual life of the Jewish people. Some people think that the Jewish people of the Bible no longer exist. That the people who claim that they are Jew's aren't really, their blood lines and culture is so watered down that there is no such thing as a Jew today. Some people also believe that the so-called Jews of today are all atheists and don't believe in the existence of God at all, never mind that they don't worship God. If these statements are true I had better notify a lot of Hebrew believers, and tell them that they don't believe and they had better stop praying to God, because their prayers are in vain because they don't exist and neither does their God. I should also notify all the Churches that preach the Word and tell them to stop because God (And His Word) is a liar.



EXODUS 32:1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
7 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume (DESTROY) them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.
- Read Genesis 13:15 (PLEASE TELL ME HOW LONG IS FOREVER)
14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
15 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
18 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.
19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strowed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
23 For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD'S side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
27 And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
29 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
33 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. (PLEASE NOTE GOD DIDN'T SAY HE WOULD BLOT OUT THE NATION OF ISRAEL)
34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
35 And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.



GOD ALMIGHTY REFERRED TO HIMSELF AS A FATHER, AND AS A HUSBAND TO ISRAEL! DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE HE WOULD ABANDON THEM?
Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:



SELECTION OF ISRAEL

GEN. 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.



    God selected one people to whom he would reveal himself and be a blessing to the world.
PSALM 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.



POINT 1, DEUT. 7:6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;



POINT 2, Israel might serve as a channel through which other nations might learn of God and one day the Messiah would be born.

PRIVILEGES OF ISRAEL
JER. 31:9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
DEUT. 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

ROMANS 9:4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

GOD'S COVENANTS WITH ISRAEL

1. ABRAHAMIC COVENANT
GEN 13:14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will
give it unto thee.

2. NATIONAL COVENANT
DEU. 30:1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
2 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
9 And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

3. THE DAVIDIC COVENANT
2 SAMUEL 7:12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
14 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:
15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

4. THE NEW COVENANT
JER. 31:31 Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

POINT 3, She has been blinded, stumbled and fallen, but has not been cast away. Romans 9:31,32 + 11:11,12.15,25,26 The natural olive branches (Israel) of God's olive tree have been broken off. Branches of a wild olive tree (The Gentiles) have been grafted in to the good olive tree (Romans 11:16-26), we should not boast that the Jews are set aside and we now receive the divine favor, because we can be removed.

Romans 9:31 (KJV) But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

Romans 11:11 (KJV) I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

Isaiah 45:17 (KJV) But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
59:20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord. If Israel belongs to the Palestenians, and there are no more Jews, HOW CAN THEY BE SAVED ? ? ?

Zechariah 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. (THIS EVENT HASN'T HAPPENED YET, IT'S IN THE FUTURE. THIS CHAPTER IS ONE OF MANY THAT PROVES THAT GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE.)
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
(PLEASE READ VERSE TEN VERY CAREFULLY, THEN GO BACK TO VERSE ONE AND ASK YOURSELF WHO IS DOING THE TALKING, AND WHO IS HE TALKING ABOUT? PLEASE THINK REAL HARD ABOUT THIS CHAPTER, AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND IT IS ABOUT A FUTURE EVENT. IT HASN'T OCCURRED YET AND IT WILL BE FULFILLED DURING THE END TIMES, I WILL BACK THIS UP WITH THE PROPHET EZEKIEL LATER.)
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

PSALM 14:7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. (HAVE ALL THE HEBREWS BEEN BROUGHT BACK INTO THE LAND YET?)

Psalm 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

Psalm 125:2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. (HOW LONG IS FOREVER?)

Now lets look at what GOD has to say about Jerusalem and what kind of place its going to be.

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Now what's this New Jerusalem going to be like? Maybe the prophet Isaiah can help us out.

Isaiah 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut
off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab;and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
15 And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.
16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
12:1 And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.
2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
4 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.
5 Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.
6 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

AND BY THE WAY - IF YOU DON'T LIKE JEWS (ISRAEL), THEN MAYBE YOUR
NOT BORN-AGAIN, BECAUSE IF YOU ARE, THEN YOU HATE YOURSELF !

Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Your a Jew now because of Christ's sacrifice on the cross, pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
