THE PRIORITY OF THE KINGDOM OF YAH


I want you to get your Bibles and if you will turn me to the book of Psalm 103, and then go over to Daniel we're going to read Daniel chapter 2. We're going to talk about the priority of the kingdom of Yah. The entire motivation of Yah is his kingdom. Everything Yah is doing is motivated by his desire and his passion to have his kingdom established on earth. Yah already has a kingdom in heaven. Today we're going to hopefully learn what a kingdom is. As a matter of fact I think it's so important for us to study kingdom because the Bible is not a book about a republic. The Bible is not a democracy. The Bible is about Kingdom. Yah's original purpose for creating the visible world was to establish his invisible kingdom on the visible world. That was his purpose for creation. So Yah's intent was to have his kingdom influenced in the visible realm from the invisible. The invisible produced the visible. Please write that down. The invisible produced the visible. In other words the visible world is not as real as the invisible world. The visible world is a reflection of the invisible world. Keep writing. So whatever you see in the visible world has a corresponding reflection in the invisible world. Paul in his writings to the Corinthians says we understand that the things which are seen came from those which are unseen for things that are seen are temporary but those that are unseen are eternal. That's why the invisible is more real than the visible, because the visible is temporary. That's why it has to be sustained. Yah's plan was to have his invisible kingdom manifested in the visible world. Now his program is very interesting. The way Yah plan to do this is very clear in Genesis, he planned to do it by having invisible children. That is what the word image means. Children in his own image, his own likeness. When I used the word children please don't get me wrong I'm really talking about sons and the word sons in the Hebrew is not really relegated to male. It simply means offspring. Something that Springs off is called a son. So Yah called all of us sons, whether we were a male body or a female body, we are called a son. So a woman is a son of Yah. That means a woman happens to be the house, the gender house, but the woman on the inside is a spirit and spirits have no gender. So the female is the house but the spirit the man is a genderless spirit. That's why Yah calls us all man. Through these children these sons called man he intended to establish his visible kingdom. How is he going to do that? He gave to them a visible body and then he made them a visible planet and then he put them who are invisible, who are wearing a visible body on the visible planet and then he says dominate that for me, have dominion. The word Dominion means to govern, to rule, to control, to manage, to subdue. A kingdom is a realm over which a king has Dominion or influence or control or management or administration, and that's what Yah wanted for you. So you and I were created by Yah to administrate his kingdom on earth that's as simple as it is. Adam was an administrator. He was a steward, he was a manager of planet Earth and inside of Adam was everybody we see here today and all who are on the way. Adam was filled with everybody. So we are designed by Yah to dominate planet Earth so that his King Dominion could come to earth. Adam disobeyed Yah and forfeited his kingdom rights. He gave it over to an unemployed cherub called HaSatan. HaSatan has since been wreaking havoc all over this world, I mean the guy has been ripping up Yah's beautiful program and he's been doing it by using the kids because he contaminated their minds, he depressed them, they don't even know who they are. As a matter of fact the first thing that Adam felt when he fell was fear. He became what? Afraid of Yah himself. I mean imagine the one whose image you are in you become afraid of. What a tragedy. Of course all of us became victims of that disobedience, we are now sons of disobedience and then Yah sent the second Adam to come and correct the problem, his name is Yahusha. What was the problem? Adam lost a kingdom. That was the problem. Adam did not lose heaven so going to heaven is not Yah's objective for you. Heaven to me and according to the Bible is a waiting place until the whole thing is consummated, but it's not your final destination. So if you died today you would go to heaven but you are not going to stay there because that's not Yah's official original plan for you. Heaven is real, there is a place that is called heaven, the place where Yah Himself is ruler and king and Lord, that's his territory. But the earth belongs to us. Psalm 115 verse 15 and 16. So ever since Adam fell Yah's been working on a program in the same chapter when the fall took place to put man back in charge of the kingdom on earth. In Genesis 3:15 Yah said to HaSatan the woman shall have a seed and that seed shall come and crush your head. The word head means authority. He's going to take back the power you have and give it back to man and in the process you're going to bruise his heel but he's going to crush your authority and take back the power. That was the promise and ever since Genesis 3:15 Yah has been working on this program to bring back the authority in the hands of mankind. His goal was to eventually do it himself through Yahusha Hamachiach. So all through the Old Testament Yah was attempting to reintroduce man to his kingdom responsibilities. We are a whole kingdom of kings but we are ignorant concerning who we are and what we are able to do and what our powers are without thought. In other words the greatest enemy of man is ignorance. It’s really not sin or HaSatan. Ignorance. What you don't know is killing you. So that's why Yah didn't send power to fix the earth, because power is not our main problem. We have power. Yah sent a word to fix the earth. What is his word? Knowledge. Hamachiach came to give us the information of Yah or the revelation of Yah because we were suffering from ignorance. We didn't know who we were and still don't know who we are in most cases and so we are victims of our own ignorance. Let me tell you something: the word for ignorance in the Bible is the word darkness and Hasatan is called what? The Prince of Darkness. It means he rules by ignorance. That means HaSatan has no power except your ignorance. Whatever you don't know is what he uses to destroy you, but the word for knowledge in the Bible that word is light. and Yahusha is called what? The light of the world. It doesn't mean he's glowing like a bulb. It means he came with information, with revelation. Why? Because that was our problem. We didn't know that we were Kings, didn't know this was our territory, we don't know that we are rulers of this place. That's why HaSatan is running our lives, he takes our bodies, destroys them with sickness, takes our lives and destroys them financially ,destroys our marriages, messes up our kids, destroys everything. Why? Because we don't realize the power that we have. So when Yahusha came he came to give us revelation or information, not only about Yah really but about us. He came to tell us who we are. I put it this way Yahusha Hamachiach came to the earth to introduce you to yourself. That's why he said follow me and I'll make you become real men who know how to fish in life. What does the word follow mean? Imitate, observe, learn, watch. I'm going to demonstrate this thing. What did he do? He walks on the water, he speaks to fish, he speaks to a tree; it dies, he casts out demons with a word, he points at things it happens. I mean he was showing us how you do it. When he was walking on the water one time Peter said, ``Can I come he says of course. That's what men do on earth, come on boy. Peter started stepping and walking on the water. He spoke to the tree and the tree died. The disciples say Wow. He says guess what? If you speak to mountains they’ll move. You don't know who you are, he says. So the whole thing about the kingdom of Yah is the reintroduction of this kingdom. In the Book of Daniel real quickly, Daniel knew about this Kingdom. Yah gave Revelation. In Daniel 2:44 it says in the time of those kings the Yah of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed nor will it be left to another people, it will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end and it will itself endure for how long? Forever. Daniel 7:13-15 it says in my vision at night I looked and there before me was one like the son of man, sounds familiar, coming with the clouds of heaven. Clouds means host of angels. It doesn't mean he is coming in that white stuff you see above there. Clouds of what? Heaven. That means they're hosts of angels. Continuing on…. coming with the clouds of heaven he approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. The Ancient of days is who? The father Yah, the Yahhead. Who was led into his presence? The son of man. Who's that? Yahusha Hamachiach in the Old Testament. It says he was led to him and he was given what? Authority, glory and sovereign power over all people. Now let me stress here friends what's he called in that verse? The son of what? Man. Yahusha adopted this statement, this title for himself. No one gave it to him. He adopted it himself. He started telling the people I am the son of man. He is telling them what you read about, that was me. Now we call him the Son of Yah. Why does he call himself the son of man? In John chapter 5 he gives a reason why. Can we turn there for a second? It's kingdom stuff here. In John chapter 5 Yahusha was working a lot of miracles that day, he was healing people, cleansing people, he was opening blinded eyes, He healed a man at the pool of Siloam, I mean he was doing a lot of miracles and the people were impressed by what he did and he was doing it with so much ease they thought there is something about this guy we have to find out. So they actually asked him about his authority. Look at verse 16 so because Yahusha was doing these things, plural, that means many things, on what? The Sabbath day the Jews persecuted him. Yahusha said to them my father is always at work to this very day and I too am working. By the way, that statement is a dangerous statement. When is the father working? Always. That’s a dangerous statement. When is the father working? Always. I thought it said Yah rested on the seventh day. What was their argument? The Sabbath. What was his answer? Yah's always working. Now we have a problem with the Sabbath here. Maybe we don't know what Sabbath means. They say don't work on the Sabbath. He says my father's always working. You mean Genesis chapter 2, we misunderstood it? When it says Yah works six days and he rested on the seventh day. So on the seventh day he was still working? Maybe he changed his mode of work. Maybe Shabbat doesn't mean to do nothing. Maybe Shabbat means to do a different kind of work like enjoying what you work for. My father's always working, he says and therefore what? I have to work. So when are you supposed to work? As long as the father's working. When does the father work? Always. You know when people go on vacation they forget about Yah. They go to Disneyworld, visit a rat. It's like they say, for six days I don't want to hear any bible scriptures, I don't want to witness to anybody. I came to play with Mickey. That's how they think but my father's what? Always working. He sent you to Disney World to bring somebody to Yahusha. So the man at the cash register at Disney World is cashing up your popcorn and Yah says tell him about my love. You say I don’t want to do that right now. I’m on vacation. He said my father's always working. My father is always working, Yahusha said and therefore I must also work. But not watch his answers again with regards to the Son of Man. It says for this reason the Jews all the more tried to kill him, not only was he breaking the Sabbath but he was also calling Yah his own father making himself what? The son of Yah. Now wait a minute didn't Yah say he's your father? See in the Hebrew if someone is your father that means that you came from the same source. Which means you are the same stuff. The Jewish theology did not have a fatherhood image of Yah. They were afraid of Yah. Yah was a consuming fire, a terror to them and here comes this man in the flesh calling Yah my source. In other words, my father and I are of the same stuff. They said you cannot be Yah. Well when you call Yah your father you are saying that you are little Yah. So they couldn't handle that and they tried to kill him. Well look at this verse. Verse 19 Yahusha gave them this answer. I tell you the truth, the son can do nothing of himself but he can only do what he sees his father doing because whatever the father does the son also does. We are all sons so we can do only what our father does. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does, yet to your amazement he will show him even greater things than these. Now watch this. For just as the father raises the dead and gives them life even so the son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. Moreover the father judges no one but has entrusted all judgment to who? The son. That all may honor the son just as they honor the father. He who does not honor the son does not honor the father who sent him. I tell you the truth whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned. He has crossed over from death to life. I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of who? The Son of Yah. And those who hear will live. Now the dead are going to hear whose voice? Not the son of man, the son of Yah. For as the father has life in himself so has he granted the son to have life in himself and he has given him authority to judge because he is the son of what? Yah. Don't read this quickly. Yahusha changes on us. When they talk about his omnipotence, the coming at the end of days with the trumpet of Yah to raise the dead, he says when I show up that way I'm the son of Yah. But he says to judge on earth, to judge means to act righteously, these healings, these deliverances, these miracles, he says I do them because I have the authority as who? The son of man. He says I am only able to do these things not because I am the son of Yah, because as the son of Yah, listen carefully, I am illegal. They said how can you heal the sick, raise the dead on the Sabbath? He says I do these things because I am a man. Because only man can function on earth legally. Everything Yahusha did on earth he claimed it possible because he was the son of man. So when you read the Bible you have to be careful every time he switches. When he talks about the future he says the son of Yah. When he talks about the present he says the son of man why? Because to be here you need a body. Now what does that mean to you? That means Hamachiach had no advantage over you. Some of us think that because he was Yah in the flesh that he was better or more equipped than us. No. He had the same stuff you have. He had the Ruach HaQadesh, he had a body that could get tired, he had to rest one day, drink water, he got thirsty, he was tempted to quit. Oh yes he was. He wanted to find another way out of this thing. He went through the whole thing why? Because he was the son of man and that he claims to be his source of authority. So you are authoritative on earth because you are a human. Son of man. Daniel said this in verse 14 he was given authority and glory and sovereign power over who? All peoples and nations and men of every language worshiped him. His Dominion is an everlasting Dominion that will not pass away and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed. Now why is this important? Where did he go? It says he came into the presence of who? The Ancient of Days. I want you to picture this. The Son of Man… When was this written? Long before Yahusha came to earth. Daniel had what? A vision of the future. He saw Yah's kingdom being established by a person called the Son of Man and Daniel saw this son of man coming into the presence of the Ancient of Days to get some stuff. What does he come to get? Authority and the nature of Yah. Why? He's going to earth to have dominion over the peoples to bring back the authority of Yah. He has to go to Yah to get what? The authority. How did Yah give him the authority? By making him the son of man. Is anybody with me at all? That's a powerful scripture. This is a couple of thousand years before Yahusha came to earth but Daniel saw him going to get a kingdom and the Kingdom is already in heaven but to get it on earth he has to go as the son of man. That's where he got his authority from. and then he came and gave it to who? Every language and every person and that is why the next verse is so important. Watch this statement by Daniel 7:18. it says but the Saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever and forever and forever. Who's going to receive it? Not angels, the Saints. They are going to receive what? The kingdom, not heaven. The kingdom. The stuff he went in the presence of the Ancient of Days to get, he went to get it for the Saints. The word Saint, write that word down please. The word Saint has been really messed up lately. The word Saint is not St. Theresa St. Thomas Moore and these dead people. Every book in the Bible that Paul wrote was addressed to the Saints and they were all alive. So don't let any philosophy cause you to believe that Saints are only dead people. Every believer is supposed to be a saint. The word saint is from the word sanctified. The word sanctified write it down, which simply means set apart for a specific use. put it another way. Sanctified means to be isolated for a specific purpose. So a saint it's not somebody with a long robe with some veil on or something. A saint as anybody who was being set apart for a specific use. You can sanctify a cup, you can sanctify a table. You can set it apart for a specific use. Now some of you have your wedding china and they are sanctified. What does that mean? Matter of fact you don't even use them at all. They set apart for guests. So they're sanctified. That's what the word Saint means, it means set apart. Now every single person listening live or the recording who has received Hamachiach into their lives, the Bible calls you church. Church is from the word ecclesia. Ecclesia means set apart ,called out and set apart. So every believer is sanctified. So you are a saint and they're the ones he gave what to? They receive the kingdom. You were born again not to go to heaven, you were born again to receive a kingdom. What is kingdom? Dominion, Authority, power, rulership. you were created to be in charge of this situation. When you wake up tomorrow morning to go to work don't go to work trying to scrape your way through life barely making it by Yah's grace saying if i just make it by Friday hanging on for Yahusha. That is not a kingdom mentality. Kingdom mentality is: bring on the problems, bring on the trouble, why? me and King Yahusha we are ready for this thing, why? I'm built to run this situation. Sanctified. He sent us to receive the kingdom of Yah. You know this is an incredible mentality change. That's why most people are so frustratingly depressing. Being around them. I mean you see these Saints, people always complaining. What kind of King are you? Imagine a king complaining about bills. Mentality. All Kings go to war. You all know that. Read history. They all go to war and I mean they go to war to win and they fight to the death. That’s what kingship is all about. It's about protecting authority and taking territory. There's always an enemy somewhere around in your life. You have to take authority and get your territory back. It's a fight. You don't roll over and say Oh Lord take care of that. You have to get this thing out yourself. The bible says that the kingdom of Yah is what? Taken by the violent. You have to be violent to get this thing that's yours. Whatever is yours you have to fight for. Stop asking people to do things for you. Kings take authority and they take territory. Daniel says he gave it to the Saints. The next verse. then the sovereignty power on greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven will be handed over to what? The Saints. Now I want you to underline a statement here in that verse in your Bible. It says both the sovereignty, power and the greatness of the kingdom under heaven. Where is it? We want to go to heaven. He said this kingdom I'm talking about is not in heaven. It is under heaven. What I'm trying to do really before you die is to get you out of heaven. let me just get you out of heaven so you can know the planet is yours that Yah gives you as a steward and then decide from this day forward I'm going to start taking back every piece of land my foot possesses. I'm going to bring it under the influence of the kingdom of Yah. think that way. That's what he says. He will give you the kingdom under heaven and it will be handed over to whom? The Saints. A whole new verse but here he is giving you the same instructions. He will give it to the people of who? the Most High. We keep wanting heaven. He says it's not about heaven it's about the kingdom. We want to go somewhere. He says no I'm giving it to you. I'm giving you authority. Kingdom. So my thought patterns are very different than I used to have when I was a religious person. When I was religious, all I wanted to do was make it into heaven. Now as a saint, as a citizen all I want to do is to stay on earth. I want to make Earth exactly what he said. when you pray he say pray thy kingdom come and thy will be done not in heaven. When we leave here people should know that there is a kingdom. In Acts chapter 8:12- 13 very powerful verse. Philip preached the kingdom of Yah and I thought it was interesting that the Ruach HaQadesh made sure these details were in this verse. You all remember when the black guy came from Africa, Ethiopia in the book of Acts. He was a very wealthy guy. He was a eunuch and he went up to Jerusalem to worship. now remember that Solomon had sex with the queen of Ethiopia and she had a baby remember? She got pregnant and went back home and the message got back to Solomon that he had this child in Africa by this black woman. its true history. and so actually one of her sons was the son of Solomon. Who's Solomon? King, who is she? She's a queen. So who is the baby? The baby is a prince. So they're in Africa, we have now an official, original child that belongs to Solomon and a queen. so now therefore the Hebrew people have African roots. This family in Ethiopia becomes the royal family connected to Solomon. That's where the Rastas get their ideas from. Now the Rastas are trying to make this boy Messiah. That's what they were trying to do. Now there was no record in Scripture about this boy being a Messiah. so you can't invent a messiah for black people but you see when you are in slavery and oppressed and you are at a disadvantage. You can’t find food to eat and then the Europeans preach a white Yahusha that was oppressing you. Then I can understand your mental problems. I can understand why you say it can't be the white Yahusha for me because the white Yahusha sent the white man from Europe to oppress me and make me a slave, so it’s got to be a black messiah somewhere and so you go looking for him. you find him in ethiopia and you try to connect him to the Lion of Judah. There was no lion that was connected to this boy. It’s an illegitimate son that Solomon made laying with this woman. This African man from Ethiopia is from a tribe that began to worship the Yah of Solomon. Remember the Queen of Sheba was impressed by Solomon and Solomon says all I have is because of our Yah, Jehovah Yah and she says I believe in your Yah. So she became convinced and instead of worshiping those idols back home she took Yah back home with her and told the family with the baby. She was impressed with the Yah of Solomon and that's why today the first evangelistic outreach of the church took place in this chapter. This was the first international outreach by the church. It's this black man and where was he going? He was going back home to Africa. Where had he been? The Bible says he went up to worship. well because every Jew once a year had to go to Jerusalem to the temple to take a sacrifice and to worship Yah. That was the tradition. So the Africans from Ethiopia who were Solomon's descendants also did the tradition. They came up and they worshiped and ran back home. This man is on his way back home, while he was in Jerusalem somebody told him that a few weeks ago a man was preaching, healing the sick, raised the dead, cast out demons, cleansed the leper and this man died on the crucifixion stake and this man changed the whole place under Ethiopia trying to figure out who this man is. Now where is the Ethiopian? He's in the temple, he's worshiping Yah and he hears the rumors about this man. He is reading. What is he reading? He is reading the book of Isaiah. Where'd he get that from? He got it from his mama or from the Queen. The Queen bought the scrolls back from Solomon and so now she has the scriptures back in Africa. By the way that means the roots of African convictions in Yah go way back beyond slavery. They got the word before the Europeans. So here comes this guy he's reading and they had the nerve to make black people think that they couldn’t read. And guess what? Black people were rich. He was riding in a chariot which means that he wasn't driving. He was reading in his chariot on his way back to Ethiopia and while he was reading he got to a place in Isaiah where it says he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of his peace was upon him and with His stripes we were healed. He was reading this point and he got confused and couldn't figure out who this was this talking about and the bible says while he was pondering this in his mind. Philip was in a revival, in a small town and while at the revival people were getting healed it says that the Ruach HaQadesh came and this is where the miracle starts. It says it translated Philip, took him out a revival. Philip was taken up by the Ruach HaQadesh and translated and he came alongside the chariot. the Ethiopian said to him who are you? He says I'm Philip and he says what are you reading? He says I'm reading this Isaiah but I don't understand it. and the Bible says Philip said unto him would you like to understand? Understandest thou what thou readest? He says no I don't understand, I read it but I don't understand it. Here's what Philip says but when they believed Philip as he preached the good news, the kingdom of Yah, as the Ethiopian and his colleagues there who were with him, it says, in the name of Yahusha they were to be baptized both men and women, Simon himself believed and was baptized and he followed Philip everywhere astonished by the great signs and miracles he saw. Now he preached the good news of what? That's what I want you to watch. What did he preach? The kingdom. What have we been preaching? salvation, healing, prosperity. Solomon’s heritage got the message of the kingdom. What do we have? Philip knew the gospel. The gospel was the gospel of the kingdom and that's what he preached. He didn't preach being born again, he preached the kingdom to these people. That's why I wanted to stress some points here. The purpose of Yahusha is the same. What was his original purpose? His intent was to reinstate the kingdom of heaven on earth. Something interesting I want to wrap up this session on because next week we're going to go a little heavy into this but the timing of his coming was related to the kingdom. Not only did he preach the kingdom but even the timing of his coming to earth was controlled by the kingdom message. His ministry's message was related to the kingdom. That's all he preached. The kingdom of Yah is like…. the kingdom of Yah is like….. and then the promise of his ministry was related to the kingdom. He said that when I come the kingdom shall be established in its fullness. Very interesting and that his future expectation was not heaven but he expected the kingdom to be established. All right as you write those notes down let me just wrap this up on this unique and very important point of timing. Listen carefully, what's the first thing they teach about communication in school in your communications class? Effective communication needs what? you have the sender and the receiver. Then what do you have in the middle? what they call noise right? So if I have to give you a message, listen carefully now, in communication they say I am the sender I got the message, you are the receiver. I have to get it to you. Now between me and you is a whole lot of what they call noise. Noises are people getting up walking around distracting you. Something may bite you on your foot like a mosquito or something, maybe somebody makes a loud sound or a baby cries. I mean there's a lot of noise that can interrupt my message so you miss it. Secondly they say what you need to make communication successful, you need what they call understanding or definition of terms. Follow me carefully. In other words if I'm going to communicate to you anything, the words I use, whatever my definitions are, they have to be yours too. Are you with me? Otherwise we can't communicate. For example if I said give me some bread. now in the 1960s I'd give you money. See the problem? So if someone says give me some bread and I give you some money because in the 60s that's what money was, money was bread. If I say hey man that's cool. Now it doesn't mean it's cold. In the 1950s that means you were shivering but in the 1970s it means that you are okay. See two different meanings but the same word. In other words communication is only successful if the words we are using mean the same thing. Very important here. Let’s see who was listening in the last session. So here is Yah with a whole planet of people. He's in heaven he's got this message that's important to them about who they are as a kingdom. He sends himself in a body. Now chronologically speaking in this Bible, how long ago did Adam sin? Chronologically six thousand years ago. Six thousand years ago Adam sinned according to this book. When Adam sinned the same chapter Yah promised to send the seed, in the same chapter. so when Adam sinned in verse 4, in verse 15 Yah says, I got it covered no problem the seed is coming. Yah sends the solution in the same chapter but how long did Yah take before he showed up? So now you got Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, first and second Samuel, first and second Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Songs of Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, there's a blank page. Now all of those books, all that history thousands of years, Yah still didn’t send the son. What's Yah waiting for? When you study the whole book, you can see why Yah didn't send him. right after Adam sinned, you have Noah. You know what Noah did. Noah got drunk. Then Noah’s sons went off into all kinds of demon worship. Out of all of that comes this guy Yah found called Abraham. Abraham is Noah’s great great great grandson. So Yah comes to this little village where they worship the moon. That's how bad Noah’s sons came out, they worshiped the moon. The land of Err is where Abraham lived and his fathers worshiped the moon and he went in there and he said come here and he called Abraham out. Abraham comes out. He says to Abraham there's no model on earth for my message so I want you to start something for me. Through you I'm going to create a nation. Abraham says fine but I don’t have any children. Yah says that’s no problem, we will work on that. Then Abraham also says but I am 75. Yah says we will work so Yah works a miracle and at age 100 Sarah has a baby. His name is Isaac. Yah still did not have a model for the kingdom. Isaac has two sons Esau and Jacob. he says Jacob I'm going to change your name to Israel. So through Israel he had 12 sons. Here come the twelve tribes of Israel. Yah says okay I am going to try to set this model up. Listen carefully. He says look, you will be my people and I'll be your Yah. So I tell you what, there'll be no one between us. It'll be the people and Yah. Yah never wanted a king, why? He says I will be your king, you will be my kingdom. That's all Yah wanted. He says not tell you what I'm going to organize the situation where you guys will have communion with me through this worship thing. I'll come to you, I'll talk to you, you do what I say. bring the nations back to me. got it. Good. So the people say fine. They got out there and they began to realize we can't see Yah and then these other nations got Kings they could see. So when they met the other nations, their nation would say are you a nation? They would say yes we are the tribes of Israel. Then they would say but who's your King? Yah. Where is he? Somewhere around here. I mean how do you tell folks that your government is somewhere around here. That became tough for them. So they began to ask Yah to give us a king that we could see. Yah says you don’t want a king. That is not in the model. They said give us a king. He says look, I am The King, you are the kings, this is the kingdom. You don't want a king. They said we want a king, we want a king. So they got real upset at Yah and the Bible says Yah says okay if you want a king choose from among yourselves one and I will bless it so they chose Saul to be their king. So now Yah has a King in the middle of the Kings representing the Kings to the king. The model still wasn’t right. So Yah says okay I tell you what. This King is going to give you taxes. Yah's trying to set it up now. He can take taxes from you, that's your tithes. He can put your kids in war and armies, that's the angels and he is going to levy you for your land. He’s going to take property taxes. Yah listed all these things and said look you get this ruler and he is going to wipe you out. They said we still want a King so they got Saul. We know the story about Saul. Saul obeyed Yah until one day he decided he liked sheep too much. Remember that guy? He saw them sheep and said whoo I can't kill them. So he kept these sheep and he took them back home and then when Yah said I told you to kill the sheep, he said I killed them. He said but I heard the sheep bleeding. It’s an interesting story about Saul. The Prophet came to Sual and said Saul, why did you disobey Yah? It's more important to obey Yah than to worship. Saul says oh boy ask Yah to forgive me. The Prophet said Yah cannot forgive you because you broke the law and then Yah chose another one named David to take his place. David becomes king. Now David is a good fella David is now raised by Yah to try to get the model. What was Yah looking for? A model to create a kingdom so he could preach a message to the nations. David says the Lord is my Yah and my people shall be his people and he shall be my Yah. Yah says we are getting close and then David becomes a mystery. Yah says David I want you to be a king and a priest. So David wrote worship songs but he also was an administrator. Now David commits adultery and messes things up. What happened? The kingdom is split in half after David is killed, the people divide. Yahs model is gone now, the people are scattered into Babylon. They are all messed up and the Daniel starts getting information. Daniel says look, the kingdom is still around. Yah has a kingdom idea. He's going to bring his kingdom, give it to the Saints. We get the story. Yahusha is still to come. Israel then goes into Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar; the people are there now under burdens so they went to Pharaoh. They ran to the Babylonians. They were under the Assyrians, they were under the Chaldeans, they were under oppression. I mean every single generation and oppression. Yah say I have a problem here and guess what? When the Babylonians finished then the Assyrians took them and made them slaves then they went to the amorites and the hittites and now under more bites and all the other knights in the Canaanites and they became slaves to everybody. Then FINALLY the Greeks came and the Greeks began with philosophy. This is the first empire in history who takes a model and sets it up and the model exactly like the kingdom of Yah. The Romans are the only Empire that sets up an administration that resembles the kingdom of Yah Yah sent Yahusha at the right time when every word that he speaks could be understood. Clap your hands, we will pick up here next week.
