WHAT ABOUT ACTS 15 ??????
(Part 1 of 2)

Shalom,

In reference to your e-mail, Should gentiles keep the Law of Moses? We are in need to understand somethings before we delve into coming against our brethren. In the early century, we find that the faith of excepting Yeshua as the Messiah was mainly Jewish. When we began to see it explode to the Gentiles, like a natural thing, we find that there becomes a desire to convert those who are not like us to do the things that we should do. I am Jewish and I believe in Yeshua. Does that mean that the gentiles should do what I believe that they should do "convert into Judaism? NO! this is not what Mr Eddie Chumney from the Hebraic Heritage Ministries Int'l is giving you. What this man is not telling you is what the Holy Spirit had established in Acts 15 & Acts 21.

Acts 15:22: Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren: 23: And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: 24: Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: 25: It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26: Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27: We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. 28: For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 29: That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. 30: So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:

We have from the Holy Spirit that the gentiles as far as touching the laws that:

1. they should abstain from meats offered to idols
2. and from things strangled
3. and from fornication

Are gentiles supposed to keep the 10 Commandments of course, the Laws of Moses are more than just keeping of the 10 Commandments. We have ordanances, customs, Laws, Comandments, and Sacrifices. The laws that govern the Nation of Israel are not to keep, and the Laws thats pertaining to the Sacrifical System Gentiles are not to keep. Every Nation has its own governing laws. This Nation has more laws than you can shake a stick at.are gentiles still to keep the sacrifical system? of course not. Are gentiles to keep the Jewish feasts no. It is not required. Because of the taking away of the Jewish things in Christianity, God has applied the difference between Christianity and the Jewish people. The Jewish people are to keep these thing because God has commanded them to keep these things, but for the Christians. if they want to keep these things. its ok, but not a requirement.

As the centuries has passed you have more Christians than you have Jewish believers. There becomes an opposition of what was intended for the Jewish people to Keep the Laws of Moses. Christians have presented and said to the Jewish people that you should convert into Christianity and not keep the Laws of Moses. Paul was preaching to the gentiles and there were Jewish people there who were keeping the Laws of Moses. Paul was saying that the gentiles did not need to keep the Laws of Moses and there were Jewish people there. This was not right for the Jewish people were to keep the Laws of Moses. Let me remind you that Paul was sent by God to the Gentiles and not to the Jewish people.

Acts 21:20: And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law: 21: And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs. 22: What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. 23: Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them; 24: Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law. 25: As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication. 26: Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.

I do not know how clearer you can get. The scriptures are very clear about the Jewish people are to keep the Laws of Moses and the gentiles are not demaned to keep all the Laws of Moses.

There are people like Eddie Chumney from Hebraic Heritage Ministries Int'l who is desired to be Jewish. I do not know if he is or not, but if anyone who is not Jewish who calls him/herself Jewish is in direct violation of God and this is what the scriptures says about this kind of person:

Rev 2:9: I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

It is ok for a gentile or Christian to have a desire to keep the Laws of Moses, to keep Shabbat, The feasts exc., but to be calling yourself a Jew and you are not, this is not right. The MJAA is a very good organization and I would not seek to bring Judgment against them Mr. Chumney least God comes against you and brings forth Judgment against You!

REPLY FROM EDDIE:

In Blaine's reply to my article: "How are non-Jews to express their faith in YHVH", Blaine attempts to make the following claims in his reply.

#1) Non-Jews are to keep SOME of the Torah (10 commandments ... except for the 4th commandment about keeping the Sabbath) but not ALL of the commandments (the sacrificial Torah commands are ONLY for Jews)

"We have from the Holy Spirit that the gentiles as far as touching the laws that:

1. they should abstain from meats offered to idols
2. and from things strangled
3. and from fornication

Are gentiles supposed to keep the 10 Commandments of course, the Laws of Moses are more than just keeping of the 10 Commandments. We have ordinances, customs, Laws, Commandments, and Sacrifices. The laws that govern the Nation of Israel are not to keep, and the Laws that's pertaining to the Sacrificial System Gentiles are not to keep."

#2) Non-Jewish believers in Messiah are NOT to keep the Biblical Festivals (he called them JEWISH feasts rather than what the Torah says in Lev 23 that these are the FEASTS of YHVH)

"Are gentiles to keep the Jewish feasts no."

#3) TWO different set of Torah instructions based upon whether one is Jewish or non-Jewish

"God has applied the difference between Christianity and the Jewish people. The Jewish people are to keep these thing because God has commanded them to keep these things, but for the Christians. if they want to keep these things. its ok, but not a requirement.'

" Christians have presented and said to the Jewish people that you should convert into Christianity and not keep the Laws of Moses. Paul was preaching to the gentiles and there were Jewish people there who were keeping the Laws of Moses. Paul was saying that the gentiles did not need to keep the Laws of Moses and there were Jewish people there. This was not right for the Jewish people were to keep the Laws of Moses."

"The scriptures are very clear about the Jewish people are to keep the Laws of Moses and the gentiles are not demanded to keep all the Laws of Moses."

#4) If a non-Jew desires to follow Torah then they are trying to be "Jewish". In other words, this person believes that the Torah = Jewish. If a non-Jew tries to follow Torah then they are trying to be 'Jews' and are instead of the "synagogue of Satan"

"There are people like Eddie Chumney from Hebraic Heritage Ministries Int'l who is desired to be Jewish. I do not know if he is or not, but if anyone who is not Jewish who calls him/herself Jewish is in direct violation of God and this is what the scriptures says about this kind of person:

Rev 2:9: I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan."

#5) Blaine believes that teaching that non-Jews are to keep Torah is an attack against the MJAA and an attack against the MJAA is an attack against God Himself.

" The MJAA is a very good organization and I would not seek to bring Judgment against them Mr. Chumney least God comes against you and brings forth Judgment against You!"

#6) Blaine calls himself a prophet of YHVH

"Blaine V. Krisp
A Prophet of God
A Jew, from the Tribe of Levi, A descendent of the High Priest."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Now, let me try to reply to each of these issues.

In order to accept Blaine's view that Acts 15 is teaching that non-Jews are NOT to express their faith in Messiah by keeping the SAME commandments as Jewish believers in the Messiah, it is based upon the following ASSUMPTIONS:

#1) ASSUMPTION #1: When YHVH said through Moses that there is ONE TORAH for BOTH the native born and the 'stranger / sojourner' and that ONE TORAH is a commandments for ALL GENERATIONS that YHVH DIDN'T MEAN FOREVER when He said to Moses FOREVER

KJV Numbers 15:15 ONE ORDINANCE shall be BOTH for YOU of the congregation, and also for the STRANGER that sojourneth with you, an ordinance FOREVER in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.

KJV Numbers 15:16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

My view is that when YHVH told Moses FOREVER that He meant FOREVER. If not so then YHVH has lied. Does YHVH lie?

KJV Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

YHVH has said that He does NOT lie. He has also said that He NEVER changes.

KJV Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not ...

#2) ASSUMPTION #2: When Messiah said that the LEAST in the Kingdom of Heaven do NOT keep the Torah and the GREATEST DO keep the Torah then Messiah didn't mean what He said

KJV Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Blaine is TEACHING that non-Jews are NOT to keep Torah. According to the words of the Messiah, Blaine has qualified himself to be LEAST in the Kingdom.

#3) ASSUMPTION #3: Paul taught that Jewish believers in the Messiah are to follow Torah and non-Jewish believers are NOT to follow Torah.

Did Paul teach this?

KJV Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

So, Paul says that it is ONE GOD which justifies the circumcism by faith (Jews) and the uncircumcism by faith (non-Jews). The SUBJECT of WHO is justified by faith without the deeds of the Torah is BOTH Jew and non-Jew. Then Paul asks:

31 Do WE then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

The WE in Romans 3:31 is BOTH Jew and non-Jew who have been justified by faith without the deeds of the Torah. What are WE supposed to do? WE are supposed to ESTABLISH (follow) the TORAH

#4) ASSUMPTION #4: Acts 15 = NEW THOUGHT / TEACHING which SUPERCEDES / REPLACES what Moses said in Numbers 14:15-16 that ONE TORAH is for BOTH Jew and non-Jew.

Is Acts 15 a NEW THOUGHT regarding the non-Jew that Messiah brought to us by His death on the tree? Did the death of Messiah on the tree CHANGE what Moses said?

Messiah said that in order to believer HIS Words you NEED to believe what MOSES said

KJV John 5:46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

One who teaches / believes that Messiah died on the tree to DO AWAY with what Moses wrote is called in the NT a "FALSE WITNESS"

KJV Acts 6:13 And set up FALSE WITNESSES, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:

KJV Acts 6:14 For we have heard him say, that this JESUS of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall CHANGE the CUSTOMS which MOSES delivered us.

My view is that the Bible is ONE BOOK and ONE REVELATION that YHVH has given to His people and that the NT COMPLIMENTS but does NOT REPLACE what was written by Moses.

#5) ASSUMPTION #5: Messiah DID NOT keep Torah and His followers should NOT keep the Torah

In the NT, we are told what is required of the followers of Messiah.

KJV 1 John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

KJV 1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

A follower of the Messiah ought to "WALK AS HE WALKED". This is HOW we KNOW that WE KNOW HIM.

HOW did MESSIAH WALK? Did Messiah keep the Sabbath? Yes. Did Messiah keep Passover and the feast of Tabernacles? Yes.

According to I John 2:5-6, if Messiah kept the Sabbath and the Biblical Festivals then we ought to "walk as He walked".

In Jewish understanding, the WAY in which you seek to KEEP the TORAH is called "halachah". The Hebrew word "halachah" comes from the Hebrrew word "halak" which means "to walk". The WAY in which you KEEP the Torah in Jewish thought is called "halachah" or the "WAY one WALKS"

About a month ago, I was having a conversation with a Reform Jewish rabbi (NOT a believer in Yeshua / Jesus as the Messiah) who lives in my community and I shared with him from the NT in our conversation (I John 2:5-6). I then said to him. "You are Jewish. What does 'we ought to WALK as He WALKED' mean to you from a JEWISH perspective? He replied to me. "That is easy. It means to keep the commandments (Torah)".

#6) ASSUMPTION #6: Paul AND the Messiah did NOT follow the Torah

Paul said to MOSTLY NON-JEWS in Corinth:

KJV 1 Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

FOLLOW me (live your life) as I FOLLOW MESSIAH (how Messiah lived His life).

Paul said that he followed Messiah. Messiah kept the Sabbath and Festivals. Then Paul said to mainly NON-JEWISH believers in the Messiah to FOLLOW him AS He FOLLOWED Messiah.

MANY of these ASSUMPTIONS are made if one seeks to interpret ACTS 15 as saying that there are TWO DIFFERENT ways in which a Jewish and non-Jewish believers is to express His faith in YHVH through the Messiah.

Why do we THINK that Acts 15 speaks of TWO DIFFERENT ways in which a Jewish and non-Jewish believer in Messiah is to express His faith in YHVH through the Messiah?

It is because we INTERPRET that the OT was written to "THEM" and the NT was written to "US". In order words, the Bible becomes an "US" versus "THEM" book. It ASSUMES that the NT is NOT LINKED with what is written by MOSES and the PROPHETS.

Why have we made this disconnect? It is because we have REJECTED what YHVH spoke through Moses and we THEOLOGICALLY interpret the Bible as TWO SEPARATE BOOKS. In other words, we do NOT have a HEBRAIC UNDERSTANDING how what was written in the TORAH and the PROPHETS is LINKED with the teachings of the Messiah and the words of the NT.

Therefore, in order to have a CORRECT understanding of Acts 15, we need to take a HEBRAIC view of the Bible and understand how what is written by MOSES and the PROPHETS is LINKED with what is written in the NT and is LINKED with the decision in Acts 15. So, how is this so?

In order to understand how ACTS 15 is LINKED with what is written in the Torah and the prophets, we need to understand HOW the Torah and the prophets describe the coming of the Messiah and the Messianic Era. In other words, what were the EXPECTATIONS of what Messiah would do and what are the ESCATOLOGICAL (study of the end of days) view of the coming of the Messiah.

In order to understand the ESCATOLOGICAL view of the coming of the Messiah, we need to understand what is written in the Torah and the prophets and what was the current situation with the history of the nation of Israel at the time of the first century and how this relates to what the Torah and the prophets describes as some of the Messianic expectations.

First, the CURRENT SITUATION:

#1) The covenanat that YHVH made through the Messiah with Abraham was made with the descendants of Abraham AND the "MIXED MULTUTUDE" (Exodus 12:37-28) at Mount Sinai. The covenant at Mount Sinai (Deut 28 and Lev 26) stated that if the covenant was BROKEN that the house of Jacob (Exodus 19:3) (which INCLUDED the MIXED MULTITUDE who were GRAFTED into the covenant that YHVH made with Abraham) that the house of Jacob would be SCATTERED into the nations of the world. This was fulfilled when the Northern Kingdom (house of Israel) was exiled into Assyria and the Southern Kingdom (house of Judah) was exiled into Babylon.

Next, I will share with you some of the MAJOR Messianic expectations.

#1) The TORAH and the PROPHETS foretold that with the coming of the Messiah that there would be an END of the EXILE and that the Messiah would REGATHER BOTH HOUSES of Israel an return them back to the land of Israel

First, the Torah:

KJV Deuteronomy 30:1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,

2 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.

4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:

5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

Next, the PROPHETS:

KJV Ezekiel 37:15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:

17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.

18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?

19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.

21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:

23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places,
wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.

26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.

27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

In these passages from the TORAH and the PROPHETS, the END OF THE EXILE is associated with several things:

A) The people would REPENT of their sins (from NOT obeying Torah)

Deut 30:2-3

2 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.

Ezek 37:23

23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

B) Messiah would RULE over a REUNITED EPHRAIM and JUDAH and they will KEEP His Torah

24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

C) They will dwell in the land of Israel

Deut 30:4-5

4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:

5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

Ezekiel 37:26-27

27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

#2) With the end of the exile of the house of Jacob by King Messiah that those from AMONG THE NATION would join themselves to the Messiah and Messiah would teach ALL NATIONS the Torah from Jerusalem

#3) ALL NATIONS joining themselves to the Messiah would come from an OUTPOURING of the HOLY SPIRIT

So to SUMMARIZE some of the MAJOR Messianic expectations of the Messiah based upon what is written in the Torah and the prophets is:

#2) With the end of the exile of the house of Jacob by King Messiah that those from AMONG THE NATION would join themselves to the Messiah and Messiah would teach ALL NATIONS the Torah from Jerusalem

#3) ALL NATIONS joining themselves to the Messiah would come from an OUTPOURING of the HOLY SPIRIT

Next, let's see how the NT addresses these issues:

MESSIANIC EXPECTATION #1:

The TORAH and the PROPHETS foretold that with the coming of the Messiah that there would be an END of the EXILE and that the Messiah would REGATHER BOTH HOUSES of Israel an return them back to the land of Israel

In John 10:16-17, Messiah tells us that ONE of the reason why He is dying on the tree is to eventually restore and regather both houses of Israel.

KJV John 10:16 And OTHER SHEEP I HAVE (the Northern Kingdom / house of Israel), which are not of this fold (the Southern Kingdom / house of Judah): them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be ONE FOLD, and ONE SHEPHERD.

17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I LAY DOWN MY LIFE, that I might take it again.

Messiah was telling a JEWISH audience that He NEEDED to die in order for their to be ultimately ONE FOLD and ONE SHEPHERD. This is a restored and reunited house of Israel / Ephraim and house of Judah / Judah.

We are also told this in John 11:49-52:

KJV John 11:49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for THAT NATION (Southern Kingdom / Judah / Jews)

52 And NOT for THAT NATION ONLY (the OTHER NATION is the Northern Kingdom / house of Israel / Ephraim), but that also he should GATHER together in ONE the CHILDREN of GOD that were SCATTERED abroad.

The "childen of Israel scattered abroad" are TWO NATIONS are both houses of Israel.

In the Torah commentary on the book of Genesis, Moses Nachmonides (RambaN: 1195 - 1270) who was an Orthodox Jewish rabbi of the Middle Ages and who is widely read and quoted by many Orthodox Jews TODAY says on page 588:

"Judah and Ephraim were considered as TWO NATIONS in Israel"

Messiah was asked WHEN this would happen and HOW He was going to accomplish this task of a PHYSICAL return of Ephraim and Judah back to the land of Israel in Acts 1:6

KJV Acts 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time RESTORE again the KINGDOM to ISRAEL?

The restoration of the Kingdom to Israel is the end of the exile of Jacob and the nation of Israel ruling over all the other nations of the world.

MESSIANIC EXPECTATION #2:

#2) With the end of the exile of the house of Jacob by King Messiah that those from AMONG THE NATION would join themselves to the Messiah and Messiah would teach ALL NATIONS the Torah from Jerusalem

In a traditional Jewish Sabbath Torah service, when the Torah is taken from the ark, Isaiah 2:3 is recited:

KJV Isaiah 2:3 And MANY PEOPLE shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

ALL NATIONS are prophecied to hear and follow the Torah.

KJV 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.

ALL NATIONS included those from among the nations who are NOT physically descended from the house of Israel and the house of Judah.

Those from among the nations would be GRAFTED INTO the NEW covenant that was ONLY made with the HOUSE of ISRAEL AND the HOUSE OF JUDAH.

KJV Hebrews 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a NEW COVENANT with the HOUSE of ISRAEL and with the HOUSE of JUDAH:

(End Part 1 of 2)
