Now the point of what we are saying, is this: We do, like Salem,
have such a High Priest and also a King, who is seated (on
the throne over the Kingdom of Yahuah) at the right hand of the
throne of the Majesty of Creation (portrayed
in The Heavenly Scroll. Yahuah sits on the Throne of Creation as He did
it “all by Himself” – Isaiah 44:24 - Yahusha sits on the Rainbow Throne
in the center of the Mazzaroth/Heavenly Scroll).
---------------------- COMMENTARY & CONTEXT ----------------------
For more on this
topic, please read my book Creation Cries Out! The Mazzaroth.
Yahuah alone sites on
the Throne of Creation:
Isaiah 44
24 “This is what Yahuah says— your Redeemer, who formed you in the
womb: I am Yahuah, the Maker of all things, who stretches out the
heavens, who spreads out the earth by myself.
The Throne in “Heaven” is portrayed by Enoch and all the
Prophets as the center of The Heavenly Scroll. The Heavenly Scroll
was given to Enoch called The Mazzaroth in Scripture or the Enoch
Zodiac pictured below:
The center is the Throne Room or Throne in Heaven. It is
described in great detail by all the prophets who looked into
the stars (heaven) and saw a scroll.
Sitting on the Rainbow Throne is the “Son of Man” surrounded by
4 living creatures singing “holy, holy, holy” and 24 Elders
(stars falling before the throne).
Ezekiel
2:9-10
Then I looked (into the heavens), and
behold, a hand was extended to me; and lo, a scroll was in it .

A minister of the holy mysterious things (1
Corinthians 14:2), and of the true Spiritual Temple made up
of living stones uncut my human hands (we
are those Living Stone - I Peter 2:5), set up by Yahuah (built
upon the Chief Cornerstone Yahusha - Ephesians 2:20). 3
For every High Priest is appointed from among men to offer both
gifts and sacrifices. Therefore, it was necessary for the Eternal
High Priest also to have
something
to offer. 4 Now if he were on earth, Yahusha would not be
a priest (his Kingdom is not of this world
it is Spiritual and Yahuah’s Temple is NOT on Earth - Psalms 114,
Isaiah 66:1),
---------------------- COMMENTARY & CONTEXT ----------------------
1 Corinthians 14:2
2 For he that speaks in an unknown tongue (Mystery
Language)
does not speaks (the
physical things of)
men, but speaks of the (the
secret Spiritual things of)
Yahuah (Deuteronomy
29:29):
for no man understands him; however, in the Spirit he speaks
mysteries (of
the Kingdom of Yahuah - 1 Timothy 3:9).
Psalms 11:4
Yahuah is in his holy temple; Yahuah’s
throne is in heaven (shamarym/Zodiac).
His eyes watch: his eyes examine all people.
Isaiah 66:1
This is what Yahuah says: "Heaven (shamarym/Zodiac)
is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you
will build for me? Where will my resting place be?
since there are already priests who offer the gifts according to the
Law. 5 They serve at a sanctuary that is
the pattern and shadow
cast by The Heavenly Scroll
(Colossians 2:17),
as Moses was admonished by Yahuah when he was about to make the
tabernacle. For Yahuah said: “See that you make all things according to
the pattern of the Throne in
Heaven, I showed you on the mountain”.

For a detailed examination of exactly how
the physical Holy of Holies in the Temple on Earth was patterned
after The Heavenly Scroll, see

Colossians 2
16 Therefore
let no one judge you by what you eat or drink (as
you keep the dietary laws), or with regard to a feast (as
you keep the Appointed Times), a New Moon (as
you celebrate the 4 seasons), or a Sabbath (as
you display His Sign). 17 These (things
defined in the Covenant of Moses) are a shadow of the things
to come, but the body that casts those shadows belongs in covenant
with the Messiah.

And now, Yahusha has obtained a superior priesthood (promised
at Creation written in the stars), of which he is a better
mediator of the covenant of peace (Yahusha is
the Prince of the Covenant of Peace - Isaiah 9:6), which was
given upon a better promise (in The Heavenly
Scroll Logos/Debar - then given to The House of Zadok - Numbers 25:13)
not found in The Law of Moses.
---------------------- COMMENTARY & CONTEXT ----------------------
1 Timothy 2:5
There is one God (Yahuah)
and one mediator between Yahuah and mankind, the man (not
god or demi-god)
Yahusha the Messiah.
To understand
what “better promise” the Yahushaic Covenant is based on not found
in The Law, we need first to understand the true definition of Greek
Logos and Hebrew Debar. In Greek AND in Hebrew these words mean
“spoken promise”. The Pauline Doctrine upon which Christianity is
founded is not The Yahushaic Covenant. Was Paul a false teacher or
has his writings suffered at the hands of the pagan Roman victors?

The “word
by spoken promise/logos/dabar” was spoken by Yahuah in
Genesis 1 and then written into the stars called The Heavenly
Scroll.
Psalm 119:89
Your Word (LOGOS
/ DEBAR. ‘spoken promise’),
Yahuah, is Eternal; it Stands Firm written in The Heavenly
Scroll.
Psalm 89:2
I will declare that
your love stands firm forever, that you have established your
faithful promise (LOGOS
/ DEBAR. ‘spoken promise’)
of salvation in The Heavenly Scroll itself.
Daniel
4:35
"All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted
as nothing, but He does according to His will written in the
host of heaven (The
Zodiac which hosts constellations. Constellations “host stars” -
Psalm 19)
Psalm
19:1-6
1The Heavenly Scroll (Shamayim
- stars, Sun, and constellations) are telling of the
Glory (which is Yahusha - Hebrews 1:3)
of Elohim (John 1:14); And
their expanse (The Divine Counsel)
is declaring the Work of His Hands (Enoch
35:3, John 1:3). 2 Day to day The Heavenly Scroll pours
forth speech, And night to night the Sun/stars/constellations
reveal Knowledge. 3 There is no speech, nor are there words; The
voice of the stars/constellations are not heard. 4 Their line (Zodiac
means ‘line/path/way the Sun takes travels through the
constellations’) has gone out through all the Earth (the
ecliptic plane), And their utterances to the end of the
world (John 1:9). In the
stars/constellations Yahuah has placed a tabernacle for the Sun
(Luke 1:78-79, Matthew 4:16-17, the
center of the Enoch Zodiac, the Throne in Heaven), 5
Which (the Sun) is as a
Bridegroom (John 3:19) coming
out of his chamber (to marry the
Bride - John 3:29); It Rejoices as a Strong Man (ORION)
to run (riding the clouds of heaven)
his course (of a wedding as the
Groom… the feast Cycle/The Heavenly wedding). 6 The Sun’s
rising (Luke 1:78 - Matthew 4:16-17)
is from one end of the heavens (Shamayim/stars),
And its circuit (Zodiac) to the other end of them; And there is
nothing hidden from its Light/Revelation.
In The Heavenly
Scroll, Yahuah spoke the following promises to Yahusha who
fulfilled them “in the flesh” John Chapter 1. He was promised to
be both a mediating High Priest who shepherds his people into
the Kingdom, conquers his enemies, then reigns as King.
The Heavenly Scroll
VIRGO:
A young maiden will give a virgin birth (the Branch will
open her womb and be the firstborn and heir) to a
beautiful glorious and righteous branch. The seed of the
woman will be a man of humiliation to rise to be the desire
of nations and will become exalted first as shepherd
(High Priest/Spring Feasts) then as harvester (Conquering
King/Fall Feasts).
LIBRA: The scales demand a price to be paid
of this seed (he must pay the dowry with his life),
the wood of the sacrifice to carry; the victim will be slain
and purchase a crown.
SCORPIO: There is a conflict between the seed
and the serpent leading to a struggle with the enemy; the
enemy is vanquished.
SAGITTARIUS: The double-natured seed (King
and High Priest) triumphs as a warrior and pleases the
heavens, builds fires of punishment, casts down the dragon. CAPRICORNUS:
Eternal life comes from his death, he’s the Arrow of Yahuah,
he is pierced, yet springs up again in abundant life.
AQUARIUS: He
pours out “living water” from on high, humanity drinks of
the heavenly river and the faithful live again, he is the
deliverer of the good news (Gospel), Carrying the
wood of the sacrifice over the earth.
PISCES: The
Redeemer’s people multiplied, supported and led by the Lamb,
The Bride is exposed on earth, the Bridegroom is exalted.
ARIES: The
Lamb is found worthy, the Bride is made ready, Satan is
bound, the strong man triumphs.
TAURUS: The
conquering Ruler comes, the sublime vanquisher, to execute
the great judgment, he is the ruling Shepherd King.
GEMINI: The
Marriage of the Lamb, the enemy is trodden down, the Prince
comes in great Glory.
CANCER: The great Bride, the two Houses of
Judah and Israel are united, they are brought safely into
the kingdom. LEO:
The Lion King is aroused for rending, the Serpent flees, the
Bowl of Wrath is upon him, his Carcass is devoured. The Lion
of the tribe of Judah rules as King.
Priest/Shepherd then… Conquering King/Harvester
The
Plan of Salvation is written in The Heavenly Scroll! The
Priesthood of Levi as well as the Temple and Sanctuary are
all shadows of what is written in “heaven”. This is what
Yahusha came to fulfill; not the Levitical Priesthood but an
enduring priesthood as he was prophesied since the
foundation of the world.
It
was The House of Zadok that was then prepared as the line of
High Priests that Yahusha would fulfill:
Numbers
25:13
To High
Priest Phineas the son of High Priest Eleazar the son of
High Priest Aaron. Behold I give to him My Covenant of Peace
and will be with him and his descendants after him (The
House of Zadok),
I grant him a Covenant of Everlasting Priesthood in turn of
his zealousness for his Elohim, and the right (for
the House of Zadok)
to atone for the sons of Israel.

Renewed Covenant

For if that first physical priesthood had been faultless (the
priests died, and the people rebelled over the death decrees which
were hostile toward them creating enmity toward His Law),

From
my book The Law and the Pauline Doctrine. In Ephesians
2:15-16, the word translated enmity comes from the Greek
word echthra, word #2189, which is a derivative from the
word #2190 echthros:
Entry 2189. Echthra
Definition: enmity, hostility, alienation
Entry 2190. Echthros
Definition: an enemy; someone openly hostile (at enmity),
animated by deep-seated hatred. 2190/exthros ("enemy"), implies
irreconcilable hostility, proceeding out of a
"personal" hatred bent on inflicting harm (DNTT).
We read above, that in context of Ephesians 2:14, it is used
meaning “cause of the enmity toward God”. The
Greek word is derived from the Hebrew word ‘AYIB’. The
Lexicon in Veteris Testamenti Libros, by Koehler and Baumgartner,
shows on pp. 35 that the Hebrew word ‘AYIB’ means: to
be hostile TOWARD. The word enmity in Ephesians
2:16 should have been written as “cause of the enmity or
irreconcilable hostility toward God”:
Ephesians 2 –
King James Version
14 For Yahusha is our peace,
who hath made both (Jews and Gentiles)
one, and hath broken down (our hatred
toward The Law out of our fear of the death decrees - Hebrews
2:15 which was) the middle wall of partition between
us (we hated The Law, because the
death decrees for our sin condemned us to death); 15 Having
abolished (nailed the death decrees
‘against us’ to the cross) in his flesh (he
broke The Law of Sin and you Die by decree by dying
without sin being perfected through Mikveh) which (the
death decrees - Hebrews 2:15 ) were the cause of
the enmity (our hatred) toward The
Law, Commandments and ordinances (Romans
8:6-7)
Hebrews 2:15
and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their
fear of death.
Romans 8:6-7
6 For
to be carnally minded is death, but to be Spiritually
minded is life and peace. 7 Because the
carnal mind is enmity against Yahuah;
for it is not subject to The Law of Yahuah, nor
indeed can be.
Below is how The Book of Yahuah (the translation I have found
to be most accurate) reads:
Ephesians 2:15-16
15 Abolishing the enmity; which is the hatred and the opposition
to The Law and to the Commandments, and to the Ordinances,
through his own flesh, in order to create in himself one new man
from the two; making peace, 16 That would reconcile both in one
body to Yahuah through the sacrifice– having killed the enmity
through himself.
then no place would have been sought for the second Eternal
Priesthood (that abolished the death
decrees and fulfilled Yahuah’s promise to ‘forgive our sin and
remember our iniquity no more’ – Jeremiah 31:34). 8
Because finding enmity within them (toward
His Law out of fear of the Death Decrees - Hebrews 2:15), He
says:
“Behold, the days are coming,
says Yahuah; when I will renew My covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah -- 9 This covenant, which I
made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand out of
Egypt, will not be replaced; which covenant they broke, although I
was a Father to them, says Yahuah. 10 For this covenant
is the same covenant that I will renew with the house of Israel:
After those days, says Yahuah; I will put My Law in their inward
parts, and write it in their hearts; minds, and I will be their
Father, and they will be My people. 11 And they will no
longer teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother,
instructing them: Know Yahuah! for they will all know Me, from the
least of them to the greatest of them, says Yahuah; 12
For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no
more.”
13
In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made old the first
covenant of physical shadows cast by the second covenant (Colossians
2:17). But the physical shadows which are becoming old and
grows aged is near to vanishing away as the Spiritual shadows cast
by The New Covenant have been fulfilled.

Colossians 2
16
Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink (as
you keep the dietary laws), or with regard to a feast (as
you keep the Appointed Times), a New Moon (as
you celebrate the 4 seasons), or a Sabbath (as
you display His Sign). 17 These (things
defined in the Covenant of Moses) are a shadow of the
things to come, but the body that casts those shadows belongs in
covenant with the Messiah.
