Grand Rising Fiveamprayer family! Happy Day 5! As we continue our teaching on His Covenants, we better thank The Most High Yah for His Grace!! Lets now look at some further pictures of the New Covenant! Jacob or Israel? Again we confirm that the My People that make up Israel consists of all those in YAHUSHA, either natural or wild Branches, that are grafted in. There is, however, one thing we might mention. Although many have made the Covenant by Sacrifice in YAHUAH'S Blood, not all view His Covenant in the same way. Recalling the passage in Psalms, note the two different perspectives of the same Covenant! And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting Covenant ... ( Psalms 105:8-10). Here, Yahuah reveals to us who we are, by how we view His Covenant. First we recall that Issac and Jacob were both called heirs of the same promise, along with Abraham ( Hebrews 11:9). So we see that Jacob is indeed a son of the Promise. Next we recall that Jacob and Israel are one and the same person. Jacob's name was changed to Israel, only after he wrestled with YAHUAH, and prevailed, to receive the Blessing ( Genesis 32: 28, 30). So we see on the Psalms 105 passage, that those who have the traits of Israel-- those who have wrestled with Yahuah, and have prevailed, are those who see YAHUAH'S Covenant as an Everlasting Covenant!! On the other hand, those who have not yet wrestled with Yahuah-- nor have they prevailed, nor overcome-- are still as Jacob. They are children of the promise through faith in YAHUSHA , but they have yet to wrestled with Yahuah!! And as a result, they see YAHUAH'S Covenant not as Everlasting, But as merely A Law, perhaps temporary decree that is no longer necessary, and is disdainful to them. There is a time coming soon, however, when the Jacob congregation of saints will be put in a corner, and will be forced to wrestle with Yahuah. This will be called the TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE, and that time is almost upon us, as a woman in travail, as a time in which the offspring are revealed. So, as Sons of the Promise, who are we? Are we Israel or are we Jacob? How we view Yahuah Covenant reveals our identity!! We better thank YAH for His GRACE on Day 5!! What a Word from the throne room!! ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH YAH!!!
