Jehoshua is on the throne of David in New Jerusalem and He is the King of a New Israel
What your Pastors aren't telling you is that the new covenant church is the Israel of Jehovah and the Kingdom of David. This triggers modern Christians who have been taught that only the modern so called Jews and earthly Jerusalem fulfill these things. They posit these things being fulfilled in a future millennium in earthly Jerusalem and modern Geo-Political Israel. This includes a reinstitution of all the Mosaic trappings. Unfortunately for these Zionist Christians and their Hebrew roots cousins, the new testament categorically refutes this idea.
This dispensational theology along with the Hebrew Roots movement does violence to the finished work of Christ and his victorious Davidic Kingship, both of which were fulfilled at Jesus death, resurrection and ascension. In other words, it's an antichrist doctrine which I will refute with the living oracles of scripture. Matthew 26:28 "for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins" If Jesus blood is the blood of the new covenant and if we are never going back to the old covenant by necessity, then why would Jehovah God go back to that system of worship in some future millennium? What use would animal blood being poured out as a sacrifice have if Jesus blood was the atoning blood of the new and better covenant? Does it make sense for Jehovah to reinstitute an imperfect covenant, if He ushered in a perfect one with the ransom sacrifice of His only begotten Son Jesus? What does this have to do with the church being the Davidic Kingdom and the Israel of God? Because the significance of Jesus death, burial and resurrection impacts who exactly is Israel and the new covenant Davidic Kingdom. John 19:30 "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit" The work that the Father sent Jesus to do was completed at the cross and part of that work was to bring the old covenant system, including the law of Moses, to a close. Despite the above statement of Jesus, most Christians believe that the Father will resurrect the very system that He had His Son bring to completion. Jesus abolished this system: Ephesians 2:15 "having abolished in the flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man, [so] making peace" The law of commandments contained in ordinances are the very ones that were part of the Mosaic system of worship. These are the same ordinances that the Hebrew roots crowd and Evangelical Christian Zionists say will be reinstated in a future earthly millennium. However, Paul contradicts this and says that the ordinances of the law of Moses are abolished. Matthew 27;50-51 50 And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.51 And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent. The tearing of the veil in the temple signified the passing away of the Mosaic law and all the ordinances associated with it as stated above in Ephesians. The author of Hebrews confirms this: Hebrews 10:19-20 19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh. The tearing of the veil in the literal temple was a physical representation of the veil being torn in the heavenly sanctuary. This shows us that the old covenant was done away with and that the blood of Christ inaugurated the new covenant. This also shows that the worship system of the new covenant would be in heaven, in the sanctuary there, and that the temple on earth was rendered invalidated. The blood of Jesus brought in the new covenant in it's fullness and it makes absolutely no sense that we are going back to the old covenant system. The author of Hebrews says that it was an imperfect and faulty system, yet we are to believe that Jehovah is going to return to it. Acts 20:28 "Take heed unto yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit hath made you bishops, to feed the church of the Lord which he purchased with his own blood" The church is the new covenant Israel and it was Israel that Jehovah purchased with the blood of His Son. The fact that the word purchased is used in the past tense shows that the atonement is absolutely complete. To say that we are going back to a system that Israel was redeemed from makes the atonement of Jesus blood of none effect and reverses the plan of salvation. Not only is this antichrist but only a fool would believe in such a thing. Ask yourself this, if God sent Jesus to redeem Israel from the law of Moses due to it's faults, then why would He have Israel go back to that system after a perfect system took it's place? Do you see how nonsensical and idiotic this Hebrew roots/Christian Zionism is? Romans 3:23-25 23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; 24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 whom God set forth [to be] a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God; All (Adamites) need forgiveness of sins due to Adam's transgression and now all (Adamites) those that believe on the name of the Son of God are justified freely by Jehovah's grace (unmerited favour). Jesus is the kinsmen redeemer of Israel and those Israelites that believe he is King and shed his blood for thier sins have redemption (to be purchased back to God). Jehovah God sent His only begotten Son Jesus to be a propitiation (mercyseat), meaning that Jesus blood was sprinkled on the mercyseat in heaven signifying the fulfillment of the day of atonement. Through faith in his blood we (the Israel of Jehovah) have forgiveness of sins. The denial of the blood of Jesus is anthema and that's exactly what many Christians are doing by saying that the Mosaic system of worship will be reinstituted. Jehovah showed His Righteousness by giving us this precious free gift of His Son Jesus blood. People hate the concept of grace because it robs them of their ability to boast. This is why the Hebrew roots movement is promoting the law of Moses as the gospel because they want to boast in the law rather than accept the free gift of Jehovah's grace which was made evident in the pouring out of His Son's blood. To be righteous one must simply have faith in the atoning blood of Jesus as the propitiation is the manifest token of Jehovah's righteousness. The Hebrew roots and Christian Zionist movement is subverting the true gospel which is rooted in the propitiation atonement in Jesus blood by attempting to bring back a dead system of worship i.e. the law of Moses. Again, I must establish the importance of the finished work of Christ to show the absolute truth that we are already in the new covenant Davidic Kingdom and that the church is the physical manifestation of that Kingdom. Also, it proves who the true Israel is and what the true temple of Jehovah is. It will also show that all future prophecy concerning a earthly Jerusalem Davidic throne, earthly millennium, rebuilt physical temple and animal sacrifices is false and is actually fulfilled in the church which is the New Jerusalem on earth. Ephesians 1:5-7 5 having foreordained us unto Sonship through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, Jehovah God predestined all Israelites, who are saved, to Sonship before the foundation of the world. The doctrine of predestination is foundational to the gospel as the apostolic church believed in the Sovereignty of Jehovah God. One of the reasons Jehovah predestined those who would be saved by the blood of His Son is so that His grace would get the praise and glory and not our own efforts. The Israel of Jehovah has redemption (deliverance, payment of a ransom) through the blood of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Remember, to be redeemed by someone you would have had to be at one time in their possession which shows that it is only Israel that can partake of the redemption. Ephesians 2:13 "But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ" In order to be brought into the Commonwealth of Israel you must have faith in the blood of Christ as it has nothing to do with keeping the law of Moses. In fact, going to the law of Moses separates you from Jehovah God as you are a slave and not a Son of Jehovah. Colossians 1:19-20 19 For it was the good pleasure [of the Father] that in him should all the fulness dwell; 20 and through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, [I say], whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens. The fullness that Paul is talking about is the Kingdom and the fullness of the new covenant Davidic Kingdom dwellls in Christ, meaning that Jesus is the King of the Kingdom. All things of the Kingdom (Israel) are reconciled to Jehovah God through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Again, to be reconciled back to someone means that you would have had to been in a relationship with them previously, which shows that the reconciliation is for Israel only. The word "reconcile" comes from the Greek word "apokatallasso" (Strongs 604) and means "to reconcile completely, to reconcile back again, bring back to a former state of harmony". This proves that the reconciliation mission of the apostles was for Israel only, both the Judeans (Judah) and those of the nations (Ephraim). Hebrews 1:1-3 1 God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners, 2 hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in [his] Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds; 3 who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Jehovah God spoke to Israel and the patriarchs via the prophets in various ways and at various times, but in the last days spoke to the New Israel through His Son, Jesus Christ. This shows a couple things, for one Jesus couldn't have been the angel of Jehovah in the old testament nor any preexistent being especially Jehovah Himself for the Father did not speak through Jesus in those times. It also shows us that the last days began in the first century, inaugurated at Jesus baptism, which is when the Father started speaking through him. Understanding this also helps us dispell the eschatological doctrine of Futurism which is part and parcel of this return to the Mosaic law. Verse 3 of Hebrews chapter 1, Jesus is the brightness of the Father's glory and he is also the express image of the Father. This denotes the glorified enthroned Jesus as he is now on the right hand of Jehovah God as the new covenant Davidic King. We see a type of that Kingly glory when Solomon was enthroned on the throne of David in earthly Jerusalem: 1 Chronicles 29:23-25 23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of Jehovah as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.25 And Jehovah magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel. This was the old testament type of Jesus enthronement on the throne of David in the new testament. Note that the throne of David is called the throne of Jehovah as Jesus was said to be caught up to Jehovah's throne in Revelation 5 and also is said to be on the right hand of God all throughout the new testament. Jehovah magnified Solomon exceedingly and bestowed upon glorious royal majesty. When we read verse 3 of Hebrews we a more glorious version of Solomon's enthronement and majesty in Jesus enthronement where he now is the literal brightness and light of Jehovah God and is in Jehovah's express image both visibly and in character. "upholding all things by the word of his power", this statement signifies that Jesus is now the enthroned King as it matches what Paul says about the resurrected Christ in Romans chapter 1:4: "who was declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead; [even] Jesus Christ our Lord" This shows that Jesus, after his resurrection, was now the glorified and enthroned Son of God having all power and authority of his Kingdom consisting of the saints, thrones , dominions, principalities and authorities. "purification of sins", Jesus purified the Israel of Jehovah by the pouring out of his blood on the mercyseat of the ark of the covenant in heaven. This is the absolute complete fulfillment of the day of atonement. This purification of sins is in connection with Christ sitting on the right hand of God showing that this is Christ entering into the holy of holies and being enthroned on the throne of David (Psalm 110:1). Again, it also fulfills the day of atonement forever thereby nullifying the old covenant and law of Moses. The connection between the propitiation blood atonement of Christ and his installation on the throne of David is significant as it shows that indeed the new covenant had arrived in it's fullness as prophesied in Ezekiel 34 and 37. This destroys the idea of futurism where we are still waiting for a more full version of the new covenant ir in some cases the new covenant altogether as well as Christ to sit on the throne of David in earthly Jerusalem. Hebrews 13:12 "Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered without the gate" Jesus the Son of God consecrated (sanctified) the people of Israel (Judah and Ephraim) by the shedding of his blood on the cross and the pouring out of it on the mercyseat (propitiation) in heaven. Jesus suffered outside the city gates of Jerusalem, and as High Priest entered the heavenly sanctuary, leaving the old temple as nothing more than an empty shell. Hebrews 8:6-13 6 But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises.7 For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for a second.8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they continued not in my covenant, And I regarded them not, saith Jehovah.10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, saith Jehovah; I will put my laws into their mind, And on their heart also will I write them: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people:11 And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them.12 For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins will I remember no more.13 In that he saith, A new [covenant] he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away. In verse 6 it says Jesus obtained and enacted a better covenant with better promises, yet we are to believe that somehow Jehovah God is going to go back to the weaker and less promising old covenant when Christ comes back? It makes absolutely no sense and it's only a doctrine Satan himself could come up with. Verses 8-10 show that the new covenant was made with the same group of people that the old covenant was made with and that is the house of Judah and the house of Israel. The new covenant is not made with something called "Christianity", the Catholic church, Orthodox church nor the Protestant church and her various denominations. Verses 11-13, all men shall know Jehovah God is not talking about literally all men, but it's in the context of who the new covenant is made with i.e. the house of Judah and the house of Israel and even then it's only the remnant out of those nations. Verse 12 shows that all men refers to those of Israel and Judah as it says Jehovah would forgive their (who new covenant was made with) iniquities as only Israel was under the law. Verse 13, the sinai Mosaic covenant was made old with the arrival of the new and better covenant hence the old eas decaying and vanishing away. 1 Peter 1:18-21 18 knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers; 19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, [even the blood] of Christ: 20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of times for your sake, 21 who through him are believers in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God. Again, redemption means to be restored to a previous status by being released from slavery to liberty via a ransom payment. Jesus is the kinsmen (brethren from the same womb) redeemer of Israel. Jesus did pay the ransom for his brethren by corruptible riches but rather by his precious blood. This shows that the day of atonement was completely fulfilled at the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. This is significant because it shows that the old testament system of worship has been obsolete since the cross. Jesus was foreknown by Jehovah God before the foundation of the world. In other words, Jesus was foreordained and predestined by the Father to be His Christ (anointed King) and lamb offering to usher in the new covenant era. To be predestinated and foreordained shows that the doctrine of freewill is false and that Jehovah elects His children to salvation without their counsel or permission (Ephesians 1). Jesus was made manifest (brought forth publicly) in the last days unto his brethren Israel. This shows that the last days began at Jesus baptism not 2,000 years later as futurists teach. It was at Jesus baptism that he was made manifest (evident) as the Christ of Jehovah. 1 John 1:7 "but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin" The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin i.e. blotting them out which means they are obliterated. No animal sacrifice from the old testament could do that hence the need for a better and new covenant. Revelation 1:5-6 5 and from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us from our sins by his blood; 6 and he made us [to be] a kingdom, [to be] priests unto his God and Father; to him [be] the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Contrary to the futuristic doctrine of the Hebrew roots and Christian Zionists, it was Jesus death at the cross that made us kings and priests not a future millennium. "He made us to be" is a past tense statement and showing that this making to be is when Christ shed his blood and poured it on heavens mercyseat. Jesus loosed us from our sins by his blood or in other words he washed us from our sins by his blood. The blood of animals is of no consequence in the new covenant as it is only Jesus blood that could cleanse someone. This shows that the day of atonement has been completely fulfilled by the blood of Christ. Revelation 5:9-10 9 And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou was slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood [men] of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,10 and madest them [to be] unto our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon earth. Jesus purchased (to buy back) his brethren of Israel who had been dispersed among the nations by his blood. And again, it was shedding of Jesus blood that made us (Israel) kings and priests not a future millennium as the "madest them" statement shows that this was a past event. Also, it says that they (Israel) reign upon the earth which is a present tense statement. Those made into kings and priests by Jesus atoning blood were already reigning as kings, queens and priests in the first century, which destroys the Futurist doctrine of becoming kings, queens and priests after Christ comes back. Revelation 12:11 "And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death" It is solely the blood of Christ that allows us to overcome Satan and his children. This shows that the blood of Christ is the final propitiation, thereby negating a need to go back to the Mosaic shadows. Revelation 19:13 "And he [is] arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God" The word "sprinkling" denotes that the blood of Jesus was poured out on the mercyseat in heaven. This again shows that Jesus fulfilled the day of atonement at his ascension into heaven where he sprinkled his blood on the ark of the covenant. This is why he told Mary Magdalene not to touch him; John 20:17 "Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God" The reason Jesus told Mary not to touch him was because he had not yet ascended to heaven to pour out his blood on the heavenly mercyseat to fulfill the day of atonement. To say that Jehovah is going to return the old covenant system of worship is antichrist and tramples on his blood: Hebrews 10:28-29 28 A man that hath set at nought Moses law dieth without compassion on [the word of] two or three witnesses:29 of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? The author of Hebrews wants his brethren to know that the trampling on the blood of Christ is a much more serious offense that violating the Mosaic covenant. This shows an absolute superiority of Jesus blood to the blood of animals used in the Mosaic law. To promote the idea of going back to the old covenant system of worship is trampling on the blood of Christ because you are essentially saying it wasn't enough to save those whom God elected to salvation.
