THE ORIGINAL MISSION OF YAHUSHA




The controversial movie of 2004, The Passion, produced by actor/producer Mel Gibson, stirred the whole world about the life and death of Yahusha Hamachiach. There has been much controversy and debate down through the years over the life, message, death, and resurrection of Yahusha Hamachiach, especially within the religious community. There are many views and opinions as to what His real mission was. Scholars have dissected, examined, reviewed, revised and written volumes on these subjects. Yet many are still confused as to what His mission, message, methods, and purpose were for coming to earth.




However, for us to discover the original purpose and mission of Yahusha, it should be obvious that we must consider His own declarations concerning His purpose and assignment for coming into the world. Let’s read a few of them from the records of His close friends in the gospel narrative.




His first public statement was made at the beginning of His earthly mission, when He was 30 years old, after being baptized by His cousin John the Baptist, and completing 40 days of fasting, during which He overcame satan’s temptations to compromise His assignment:




From that time on Yahusha began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near” (Matt. 4:17).




The word near, in some translations rendered “at hand,” simply means “has arrived.” In other words, His first declaration was the introduction and arrival of a kingdom, not a religion. In essence, He brought a government to earth. Let’s look at some other declarations by Yahusha concerning His purpose and mission on earth.




As you go, preach this message: “The kingdom of heaven is near” (Matt. 10:7).




But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of The Most High Yah, then the kingdom of The Most High Yah has come upon you (Matt. 12:28).




Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants (Matt. 18:23).




And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come (Matt. 24:14).




But He said, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of The Most High Yah to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” And He kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea (Luke 4:43-44).




After this, Yahusha traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of The Most High Yah (Luke 8:1a).




But the crowds learned about it and followed Him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of The Most High Yah, and healed those who needed healing (Luke 9:11).




But seek His kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well (Luke 12:31).




Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom (Luke 12:32).




The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of The Most High Yah is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it. It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law (Luke 16:16-17).




I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of The Most High Yah like a little child will never enter it (Luke 18:17).




And I confer on you a kingdom, just as My Father conferred one on Me (Luke 22:29).




Yahusha said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is from another place.” “You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Yahusha answered, “You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to Me” (John 18:36-37).




These are only a few of the declarations made by Yahusha concerning His mission, purpose, and message and it is obvious that His intent was to declare, establish, and invite all men to enter the Kingdom of The Most High Yah.




This is in direct contrast with the focus on religious activity and religion’s preoccupation with going to heaven. It seems as if the message and priority of Yahusha was the occupation and reclamation of earth, rather than designing an escape hatch to heaven for mankind. There is a verse of scripture that has challenged my thinking for years and perhaps it may shed some light on this issue for you also.




Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth (Matt. 5:5).




It is interesting to note that the promise is for the inheritance of earth rather than heaven. Also His dominion of earth and its environment was declared by Yahusha as the return of the Kingdom of The Most High Yah to earth.




But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of The Most High Yah, then the kingdom of The Most High Yah has come upon you (Matt. 12:28).




This verse seems to indicate the return of the dominion power that Adam lost in his disobedience. Yahusha came to earth, not to bring a religion, but a Kingdom—the governing influence of the Kingdom of heaven on earth. The message proclaims the opportunity for all mankind to regain its lost dominion over earth and its environment through the reception of the Ruach Hackodesh of The Most High Yah and, consequently, the reconnection of earth with heaven. This is why it is called “good news” or gospel.




The message of the Kingdom of The Most High Yah is the most important news ever delivered to the human race. Yahusha came to earth to announce the arrival of this Kingdom and to establish it in people’s hearts through His death and resurrection. As the Son of The Most High Yah, Yahusha Hamachiach was the exact likeness of His Father and represented Him perfectly on earth. To all those who believed in and followed Him, Yahusha restored their citizenship rights in the Kingdom of heaven and imparted His Spirit, so that they could represent Him and the government of heaven on earth.




This representation is known as government diplomacy. The following statement is a political statement that is very common to all kingdoms, including our contemporary governments.




And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on Me (Luke 22:29).




This statement is always used at the appointment of an official representative of a government to other nations. This is the position of an ambassador. This is not a religious designation, but a governmental one.




HEAVEN’S AMBASSADORS ON EARTH




Every nation appoints ambassadors and envoys to represent its interests to other nations. The Kingdom of heaven is no different, as it is the prototype of kingdoms. The Most High Yah chose to communicate the message of His Kingdom throughout the earth: not through religious people, but through personal representatives. The Most High Yah’s chosen strategy for proclaiming His Kingdom was to employ ambassadors. An ambassador is a political appointee whose job is to represent and speak for his or her home government before the rulers of other countries. In the eyes of those rulers, the word of an ambassador is the word of the government that he or she represents. Good ambassadors never speak their personal opinions, but only the official policies of the government that appointed them.




In the same way, the people of The Most High Yah are His ambassadors on the earth. Scripture clearly teaches this. The Most High Yah chose Moses to deliver the Israelites from slavery in Egypt and then to represent Himself before them. Prophets represented The Most High Yah and spoke His messages of warning and judgment to a nation that had turned away from Him. In Second Corinthians 5:20, Paul writes, “We are therefore Hamachiach’s ambassadors, as though The Most High Yah were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Hamachiach’s behalf: Be reconciled to The Most High Yah.” As ambassadors of heaven, we represent our Father’s Kingdom on earth. If we are to be effective, it is important that we understand what we are talking about.




CHARACTERISTICS OF AN AMBASSADOR




An ambassador is a unique political creature in all kingdoms and his disposition must be understood fully, in order to appreciate the power and distinction of this revered position. Here are some very paramount qualities of an ambassador:


Appointed by the king, not voted into position;


Appointed to represent the state or kingdom;


Committed only to the state’s interests;


Embodies the nation-state or kingdom;


Totally covered by the state;


Is the responsibility of the state;


Totally protected by his government;


Never becomes a citizen of the state or kingdom to
which he is assigned;


Can only be recalled by the king or president;


Has access to all his nation’s wealth for assignment;


Never speaks his personal position on any issue, only his nation’s official position; and,


His goal is to influence the territory for his kingdom government.



All of these qualities and characteristics are embedded in the message and ministry of the Kingdom of The Most High Yah and are perfectly exemplified by our Chief Ambassador (Secretary of State) Yahusha Hamachiach.



All of these also apply to each citizen of the Kingdom of heaven who has been appointed by the government of heaven to represent heaven on earth. This is why Yahusha admonished us to not worry about anything concerning our lives, but to focus on the Kingdom; then everything we need for life and fulfilling our Kingdom assignment on earth will be provided by the government of heaven.



Here are some ambassadorial statements and references expressed by the King, Yahusha Himself, regarding His diplomatic duties in representing His heavenly government. These He transferred to you, who have submitted as citizens of the Kingdom of heaven.



Yahusha said to them, “My Father is always at His work to this very day, and I, too, am working” (John 5:17).



Yahusha gave them this answer: “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by Himself; He can do only what He sees His Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does (John 5:19).




By Myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and My judgment is just, for I seek not to please Myself but Him who sent Me (John 5:30).




Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me (John 6:57).




I have much to say in judgment of you. But He who sent Me is reliable, and what I have heard from Him I tell the world. (John 8:26).




So Yahusha said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am the one I claim to be and that I do nothing on My own but speak just what the Father has taught Me. The one who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do what pleases Him” (John 8:28-29).




Do not believe Me unless I do what My Father does. (John 10:37).




For I did not speak of My own accord, but the Father who sent Me commanded Me what to say and how to say it. I know that His command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told Me to say (John 12:49-50).




Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, “Show us the Father”? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in Me? The words I say to you are not just My own. Rather, it is the Father, living in Me, who is doing His work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in Me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father (John 14:9-12).




Again Yahusha said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent Me, I am sending you.” And with that He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Ruach Hackodesh” (John 20:21-22).




I declare that we are also ambassadors of our heavenly government, representing our government’s mind, will, purposes and intent to the earth, so that His Kingdom can come and His will be done on earth just as it is in heaven. We are charged only to speak what our government speaks, not our own personal opinion or views. Therefore, whenever an ambassador is asked to comment on any issue, he is obligated to speak his government’s position. He simply quotes the constitutional (the Bible) position on all matters. Go and be an ambassador of the government of heaven, not of a religion. Study your constitution to know and understand your government’s position on all issues pertaining to life.
