Rending The Veils

                      Opening The Book of Isaiah
The veil of darkness must be rent before the veil of light can be rent…

Isaiah 60:2
כי הנה החשך יכסה ארץ וערפל לאמים ועליך יזרח יהוה וכבודו עליך יראה

2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.


Through the good news of Israel and Her Messiah it is revealed that neither the darkness nor the light need blind us. The darkness is human impenetrable darkness toward God. The light is the infinite light of God toward Israel, which comes to all the world.

As in: Genesis 38:14ff
14 And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.

The blinding veil of the darkness of the sale of Yoseph came and manifested in a physical form as a dark veil to cover Tamar's face.  This was because it already covered Yehuda's heart.  Only when it was torn open through Yehuda's repentance was the veil of light that covered the mercy of God toward Israel in the concealment of Yoseph in Egypt also, in due course, torn open.  And this is the explanation of the mystery of the tearing open of the veil of the Temple at the death of Mashiach.  The veil of Moshe is a veil of light upon Israel and the veil of Tamar is a veil of darkness upon the nations and when both of these veils are torn open Mashiach, who is concealed behind them, will be revealed unto all.

The Harvest of The Goyim

               The Wailing Place
Everything Shaul (Paul) did and said was about the work of planting and harvesting a testimony among the nations, a testimony that the promise made by God to Abraham has been fulfilled in Yehoshua (Jesus) the Messiah.  All of this work is now about to be finished.

When it is finished there will be no more adversity coming to the Jew in the name of Christianity.  There will no longer be an anti-Semitic Christianity in the world.  Instead, it will be  acknowledged by everyone who has any interest in Yehoshua (Jesus) at all that he was claimed only to be a Jew of the tribe of Judah of the line of David.  He was not reported by anyone to be of the tribe of Benjamin, for example, nor of Levi, nor of any other tribe or people.    If he was Messiah he was the promised Messiah of the Jews, not of the Romans, not of the Persians, not of the Arabs nor others.  When the work of the testimony among the Goyim, (the nations), is finished everyone, friend and foe, will admit to the importance and truth of this.

It will be admitted by all that if he was the promised Messiah he was giving new revelation to the promise of the Messiah in Israel.  He was revealing himself as a Messiah who would be rejected and would freely lay down his life, rather than forcing himself on his beloved bride, Jerusalem.  It will be admitted by all that if he is the Messiah he gave himself over to death in order that God might keep His promise to Abraham, the promise He made by covenant with Abraham.

It will be agreed that if he is the Messiah he is the Messiah because he was sent by God to be the Prophet like unto Moses to lead Israel into the perfection of obedience to the Torah.  It will be acknowledged  that if he is the Messiah he is the Messiah because when he was rejected by his own, rather than condemning his people for rejecting him and his Father who sent him he laid down his life.  It will be recognized that if he laid down his life, he laid down his life freely in an act of eternal justification and forgiveness toward Israel.  And then the testimony will be clear that he did this in order that God might keep and fulfill His covenant with Abraham, to bless him and his family and all the nations of the earth through him.

It will be admitted by all that if he is the Messiah he will come again to his own when his own are prepared to receive him.   For this is truly the Good News of Israel and Her Messiah, the corporate salvation in heavenly places of God's chosen nation, through Yehoshua, her Messiah and Redeemer.
