The Savior's most cutting remarks were leveled against the Pharisee. He called them "Blind Guides, Fools and Hypocrites, a Generation of Vipers" Matt. 23:17

This video cuts to the chase of what has been taking place within the Body of Yahusha....the ecclesia.

Many Christians believe the Jews are special people...because they say they are. This is where knowledge of who is a Jew and who is not would be so helpful. I know this to be true because I had to learn this fact myself. It is quite simple when one understands there is a difference:

1. Jew is speaking of those of the Southern Kingdom (Judah).

2. An Israelite or those that Yahusha said He came to save are those multitude of the Northern Kingdom that had separated itself from Judah.

3. The two kingdoms came from the loins of Abraham, whom Yahuah called out of the Land of Ur. Abraham was known as a Hebrew.

4. Both Jews and Israelites are Hebrews

The Savior turned His back on the Jews of the Southern Kingdom. He dealt with these Pharisee by calling them exactly what He knew them to be. They were always trying to trip Him up according to their traditions.

As believers, we tend not to really read the Bible for ourselves according to it's words and history but rather, have that herd instinct to follow the traditions of men ourselves. The leaders of the churches, by and large, are now under the Zionist influence. All things called Zionist is not Kosher. This really needs to be understood or you will find yourself walking backwards.

After the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in AD 70, the ruling Religious Body of the Sanhedrin was disbanded. And, they stayed that way until October 2004 when, once again, they, officially, became a ruling class. To know the power of the Sanhedrin, the below definition helps us grasp the power they welted in the days of Yahusha/Jesus, which is the same power they attempt to exercise today in the Land of Israel. This has been harder to accomplish because most of Israel is Secular.

The Sanhedrin was comprised of 70 men, plus the high priest, who served as its president. The members came from the chief priests, scribes and elders, but there is no record on how they were chosen.

During the time of the Roman governors, such as Pontius Pilate, the Sanhedrin had jurisdiction only over the province of Judea. The Sanhedrin had its own police force which could arrest people, as they did Jesus Christ. While the Sanhedrin heard both civil and criminal cases and could impose the death penalty, in New Testament times it did not have the authority to execute convicted criminals. That power was reserved to the Romans, which explains why Jesus was crucified—a Roman punishment—rather than stoned, according to Mosaic law.

We, as Believers, do not want to become blind guides by recommending that we become Jewish in our dress, customs or even letting the Jews of Israel guide us into their mind-set such as a need to support another Temple. We are the Living Stones of His Temple.

Didn't the One who turned His back upon them come to save you and free you of Temple Rites? Of course He did. He asks that you keep His Commandments and to love the Lord God with all your heart and all your mind and to love your neighbor as yourself.

Why would you want to step back into bondage?

John 8:36 (KJV)

"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
