WHY DID CHRIST SEND HIS DISCIPLES OUT WITH THE GOOD NEWS?

[jeremiah1five]

Simple. To let all Israel know their Messiah had come.

6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:6–8.

This is their commission. Christ sent His disciples out so that they may seek out the twelve tribes scattered across the then-known world with the message that Israel's Messiah had come.

The Prophecies:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Gen. 3:15.

15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; Deut. 18:15.

The Fulfillment:
31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
Jn. 1:31.

Christ is a "Jewish" Messiah. He hails from the tribe of Judah. He was prophesied TO Israel and He came TO Israel. And when He returns again He comes to sit on the throne of David in Jerusalem.

Paul describes the ingrafting of Gentiles to the branch that is Israel. Take note:

7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. Rom. 11:7–8.

Yes, Israel in general did not accept their Messiah. But those that were ministered to by Christ received Him and became sons and daughters of the LORD. But the tendency in the Church 2000 years going forward believe that Jesus Christ is a Gentile Messiah and this is not necessarily true. Here is what Scripture says:

11 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. Rom. 11:11.

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 graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Rom. 11:16–17.

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 graffed 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. Rom. 11:18–21.

To Gentile believers here at Christian Forums and around the world. Know your place. Christ was prophesied TO Israel and came TO Israel. Jesus Christ is a "Jewish" Messiah. Israel is the apple of God's eye. Salvation has come to Gentiles in order to provoke Israel to jealously. And when God has completed His preordained plan in this particular TIME to provoke Israel to jealously God will cease the Time of the Gentiles and turn again His attention TO Israel. And both "Jews" and Gentile believers will go through the Time of Jacobs Trouble together which was prophesied in Matthew 24 and 25 (among other prophetic places in Scripture.) Remember:

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Rom. 1:16.

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Rom. 11:1–2.

Israel is the focal point in the Redemptive Plan of God. So, let us all pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Remember. You were grafted in.

 

[jeremiah1five]

Due to the Diaspora and the conquering of Israel by both Assyria and Babylon and their carrying away Israel was a scattered people. Many stayed in those countries even their offspring choosing to stay than go rebuild Israel when Cyrus allowed them to return to their own land.

Christ was on the Mount of Olives when He gave this commission in Acts 1:8 to His disciples. Since Jerusalem was west, Samaria north, Judaea south, and the uttermost parts of the earth was towards the Orient or east, Jesus was giving the four cardinal points of the compass to seek out their tribal brethren and let them know their Messiah had come.

 

[donadams]

He did not!
He sent the apostles!

Authority of the Apostles!

What authority does Christ have?
What power does Christ have?
What mission / ministry does Christ have?

Peter, the apostles and their successors have the same authority, power, and mission!

Jn 20:21 as my father sent me, even so send I you!

John 17:18
As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

The apostles are Christ’s successors!
They have authority to send others as well until Christ returns in glory!

apostle means one who is sent!

Therefore the apostles have authority to send more apostles or successors!

Apostolic succession!

The nations still need to be taught, disciples still need to be baptized and the church the new covenant kingdom of christ still needs to be governed!

Hebrews 3:1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Christ is an apostle, and has authority to send other apostles, the apostles also have this authority, so the apostles continue down thru the centuries as Christ promised! Matt 28:19-20

Keys of jurisdictional authority! Open and shut And power to bind and loose! Matt 16:18 and Matt 18:18 matt 28:19 Isa 22:21-22

Moral authority:
(Teaching)
Necessity of being taught by Christ:
Two edge sword: defining truth and condemning errors, and Interpreting scripture.

Jurisdictional authority:
(Governing / administering)
Necessity of Peter and the apostles and their successors to govern the holy church.

Spiritual authority:
(Life of Grace)
Sanctifying thru the mass and Sacraments for the forgiveness of sin.


The apostles teaching is Christ’s teaching, Christ and His church are one! Acts 9:4

Christian rule of faith is not the Bible alone! But the doctrine of the apostles! Acts 2:42

Jesus Christ continues HIS ministry in His new covenant church thru Peter, the apostles, and their successors with the same mission, power, and authority!
Mt 16:18 Mt 28:19 Acts 1:17 acts 8:31 & 35 Lk 10:16 Jn 8:32 Jn 13:20 Jn 15:5 Jn 16:13 Jn 20:21-22 eph 2:20

You may not be aware of this Jeremiah, but that was the primary reason Jesus was sent to earth sir: Lu 4:43 But he said unto them, I must preach the good tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also: for therefore was I sent.

The Kingdom will come when it is preached in all the inhabited earth Mat 24:14. Jesus' disciples are diligently working to complete their assignment sir. Mat 28:19,20; Acts 1:8

5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Mt 10:5–7.

Their assignment in Acts 1:8 was to the twelve tribes scattered throughout the then-known world due to Assyrian/Babylonian conquest/Diaspora.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Rom. 1:16.

God Promised Israel a Messiah and was careful at the beginning to let them know He had come.

 

[jeremiah1five]

Yashua is not Jewish and the Edomites/Caanites are the son's of the devil the Synagoge of Satan and he will make them bow to the white Israelites before the end to know that he loved them. The Edomites were never in Bondage and admitted this to Yashua when he told them the truth shall set them free.

EDOMITES
John 8:33-32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

The Fake jews were speaking to Yehshua. These are the Edomites who said they would come out in war against the Hebrews with Moses if they attempted to pass through their land. [

MORE PROOF:
Matthew Ch15 vs 24: But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. If you read the previous verses for more context, Yeshua is saying his atonement isn't for any of the Canaanites/Edomites but the lost sheep of the house of Israel. They were all in Europe at that time because they left Israel in 745 BC.

John 8:44
KJV

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: [1] for he is a liar, and the father of it.

REV 3:9
9Look at those who belong to the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews but are liars instead. I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will know that I love you. 1

This isn't out of context, a parable an analogy, simile, no other wild interpretations required, and certainly not a lie since Yeshua cannot lie. This is the truth as proven in Genesis within the garden of Eden.
Here is a direct quote from The Most High God himself: Malachi 1:2-3 declares, “‘I have loved you,’” says the LORD. But you ask, ‘How have you loved us?’ ‘Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?’ the LORD says. ‘Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have hated, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.’”
Annnnnnd they had him crucified which is why their Talmud calls him all kinds of names and is the most anti-Christian series of books ever written

Edomites in the Bible
-Genesis 36:2
“Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;”
·Genesis 36:9. Edomites as the descendants of Esau.
·Genesis 36:43. Magdiel and Iram as the leaders of the Edomites.
·2 Samuel 8:14, 1 Chronicles 18:13. The Edomites were conquered by David.
·1 Kings 11:1. Some of the wives of King Solomon were of Edomite origin.
·2 Chronicles 25:14. The Edomites were defeated and killed by Amaziah.
·Psalm 137:7. The Edomites cruelly destroyed the foundations of Jerusalem.

The forced conversion of the Idumeans (Edomites) to Judaism by John Hyrcanus (135–105 bce)
At the fall of the First Temple, the Edomites attacked Judah and looted the Temple, accelerating its destruction. The Edomites were later forcibly converted into Judaism by John Hyrcanus, as a recorded case of forced conversions to Judaism. Later the Edomites assasinated the true King and implanted King Harod an Edomite Jew. The same Edomite King who ordered baby Yashua to be murdered and murdered thousands of Israelite babies. These same Edomites became Pharasies and scribes which Yashua schooled in the scriptures.

Jews of Israel today.are Edomites/Cannanites decendents of Esau.

A.) Esau mated with the Canaanites which is Why Yashua calls them the son's of the devil, the synagoge of Satan, not the lost sheep of Israel and will not receive salvation because of their deeds and their blood. He told them they're responsible for all the Righteous deaths from the beggining with Able to Zacharias. He's not name calling he's simply stating a scientific fact from their very DNA. Edomite Jews have tested their DNA and it includes Canaanite DNA.

B.) there own publications expose them as the Edomites:
- Esau-Edom is modern Jewry: 1925 Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol 5 pg 41. They’re not of Israel or Judah.

- Jewish Alminac 1980: Strictly speaking it’s incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a jew or to call a Jew a Hebrew. They’re not the Hebrews or Israelites they’re the Edomites/Cannanites.

- Encyclopedia of Judaica: The Edomites began to call themselves Israelitesand Hebrews in 1860.


Overall, Yashua is from Jacob who received the birthrights and had his name changed to Israel then he blessed Judah before his death (Judah the Lion in many of the colors, flags and symbols of European nations), Judah branched off and became Greece then Rome then broke into many other nations. The Royal House of David which was blessed with an eternal kingdom that shall have no end and eventually this turned into two Nations in Scottland and Ireland. The blood lines of royalty are still passed down to this very day. Only the Israelites can receive salvation. These Edomites who's father is the devil are damned.

Sounds very much like Armstrongism.

Paul, as Jeremiah, was sent to the nations (Goyim) as the Times of the Gentiles was near.
Paul was not the only apostle to the Gentiles. Someone was sent to Italy to found a fellowship there which set the stage for Paul's wonderful treatise/epistle to believers at Rome.

Christ is king and established a kingdom!

Prophecy of the new covenant and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. (The new covenant church) Jn 15:1-5 (the church is the new Jerusalem the kingdom) gal 4:26 (one church) Jn 10:16

Dan 2: 44 And in the days of these kings (Roman Caesars) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

Isaiah 2:2
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

Micah 4:1
But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

Daniel 7:18
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

Rev 21: 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

Lk 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Lk 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

Heb 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

Matthew 5:14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Matt 21:43 taken from Israel given to Peter and the apostles Matt 16:18-19 18:18 Jn 20:21 eph 2:20


1 Peter 4:11
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Jude 1:8
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Christ is king and has all authority and dominion!

Christ appointed Peter, the apostles, and their successors to govern the church and administer the kingdom until He returns in glory!

Submission and obedience to them is submission and obedience to Christ!

Like Joseph under pharaoh the king and his brothers bowed in obedience to Him as God willed!

Lk 1:32-33 how can Christ be king without a kingdom?

Matt 21:43 Lk 22:29 Dan 7:8 heb 12:28 how is the kingdom taken from Israel and given to the apostles if it does not exist?

Jude 1:25 how can there be dominion without a kingdom?

Matt 6:33 how can we seek a kingdom that does not exist?

Matt 16:18-19 how can Christ the king give Peter the keys of a kingdom that does not exist?

Matt 3:2 Mk 1:5 Lk 21:31 How can they preach: “the kingdom is at hand” if the kingdom does not exist?

It’s Strange anarchy that accepts and loves the king, but rejects the Kingdom, the doctrine, & the ministers the king himself established!
