Mystery Revealed

Ephesians 2:19-20

19Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

Ephesians 3:1-4 (Heirloom KJV)

1For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—

2Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, 3that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. 4In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

Jesus came and preached peace to all that would believe that He is the Son of God and will live the way that He and the saints did at the time. This is the Will of our Father. Jesus taught the commandments without judging anyone who would receive Him and the ways of the Lord because it had not been made known unto them until Jesus came. This why Jesus came and died for our sins, and so He could reveal the mysteries of Christ which was always in the law. The Jews could not see this mystery because God had put a veil on them.

Roman 11:17-19 17If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”

Hebrews 10:28 28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

What are we do say about the Jews? We are to say some were broken off in order that we Gentiles, if we will receive the law as was taught by the Son of God. Then the law would not see our past that we may be grafted in. About our past we are simply to plead the Blood of Christ. Our old ways will never keep us from the promises of God.

Eph 3:5 5which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.

Deut 12:6 6there bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, what you have vowed to give and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks.

Deut 16:16 16Three times a year all your men must appear before the Lord your God at the place he will choose: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks and the Festival of Tabernacles. No one should appear before the Lord empty-handed:

1 Cor 16:1-2 1Now about the collection for the Lord’s people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. 2On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. 3Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve and send them with your gift to Jerusalem.

Paul taught the Gentile church should go to Israel three times annually so God will be pleased. These is how the church will have seed in Heaven. When you collect on the first day of the week, you should set aside a sum of money to send to Israel or take personally during the three feasts.

Romans 9:33 33As it is written:

“See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble

and a rock that makes them fall,

and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”

Matt 7:24 24“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

The mystery of Christ is to bring Jew and Gentile together and to be built on the same foundation where the Lord our God has laid the rock. The wise man will start his church in Israel just like the wise man built him house on the the rock.

Romans 1:16-17 16For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,e just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.

Eph 2:19

19Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

Mark 12:29-30 29“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one 30Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

This why it says Salvation is for those joined to God's household. It was a mystery of Christ. Righteousness from God is revealed. Anyone who believes and is joined together with the Jews first is righteous in the sight of our Lord. The mystery and the heart of God is that Jew and Gentile are joined together with the same purpose. Because you love what God loves and God wants all people to join together where He has put His name. This is the first commandment: Love God with all you heart, all your soul, all your strength.

The mystery was always God's plan that Christ would reveal it to us. We are not to boast in the Law but we boast in Christ and we uphold the law because we love God. The New Covenant says that Christ would write the law in our minds and pierce it into our hearts that we may uphold it.

Malachi 3:6-10 6“I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.

“But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’

8“Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.

“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’

“In tithes and offerings. 9You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 10Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

Rev 21:24 24The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.

They are to bring gifts and offering and raise up the name of our Lord. The Lord our God does not change.

Hebrews 10:28 28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

Church do not reject the law of Moses' if you do you will die without mercy and will hear the words of

Matt 7:21-23 21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

2 Cor 3:13-14 13We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. 14But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.

Romans 11:19-22 19You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. 21For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

22Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.

This mystery is that God put a veil the Jewish people for us (Gentiles) this is why we must help the Jew first. Our Father is going all over the Earth looking for those who have a heart for Israel. When the full number of the gentiles has come in the veil will be lifted and all of the Jews will be saved. Those how have a heart for the ones chosen to be broken off so that anyone who seeks God would find those who God made love us first. Only those with a heart for God will find this. God did not reject His people

1 Peter 2:25 25For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

John 10:14-16 14“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

This is the truth and the plan to lift the veil from the Jewish people

Matt 7:20-22 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

True and False Disciples

21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’

Jesus did not know them because they did not help those who were broken off (Jewish people)

The first helped us so we are now to help them first.

Romans 1:17 16For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.

Romans 11:25 25I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,

1 Cor 16:1 1Now about the collection for the Lord’s people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. 2On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. 3Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve and send them with your gift to Jerusalem.

Romans 15:25-27 25Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem in the service of the Lord’s people there. 26For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem. 27They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.

Give to the poor in Israel or give to someone who is helping those in Israel

Church is to set aside a sum of money for Israel to send at the three feasts or deliver personally

This is the first commandment

Mark 12:29 29“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is 30Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

God and Israel are one, one heart. The heart of God is Israel to show love for God is to love Israel first because God put a veil on the ones He loved to save us and by saving us. We show our thanks to God by giving to the Jewish people first. The love and honor we show those that may not like us will lift the veil of them. In this we fulfill the first commandment.

Mark 12:30 30Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

Now we know the veil was put on them so the world might be saved so first to the Jew is the first commandment. The second is to the world

Mark 12:31-32 31The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

32“Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him.

However some will never fulfill the first commandment, only a few will find the gate that leads to life those who see what God the Father is up to will help our lost brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep because of the veil, they are dead in Christ, they are our enemies that we must show love to, they are chosen and all of the Jewish people will be saved as it is written. As for the second commandment yes we are to love those in the church too but if we love them first and show no love or fruit to the Jews, we serve God in vain. For even the world gives to one another and it brings glory and honor to themselves in the same way much of the church is doing the same thing. They are in error, the church must turn back to the first commandment or Jesus will say this:

Matt 7:21 21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

The will of our Father is that the Jewish people recognize our love for God by our first fruits.

1 Cor 16:1-3 1Now about the collection for the Lord’s people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. 2On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. 3Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve and send them with your gift to Jerusalem.

Romans 11:19, 17If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”

Luke 12:42-43 42The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns.

Brother and Sister this mystery should not harden us about those who have went before us. There was a time when this was not revealed to us. This does not change our gifts or our calling.

Romans 12:4-5 4For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

John 10:27-30 27My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all ; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30I and the Father are one.”

Mark 12:29 29“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

We need to see our Lord our God and the Son is one, one heart with Israel. IF they are one with Israel, we should be also.

John 10:16 16I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

We need to see our Father is working on bringing us in to be one flock.

Matt 5:35 35or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.

Honor the city of the Lord and you will honor the Lord

Rev 22:14 14“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city

Romans 15:27 . 27They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.

Philemon 1:4-5 4I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, 5because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus.

Romans 1:16-17 (NIV) 16For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,e just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.

Eph 3:6 6This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.

Eph 2:11-12 11Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)— 12remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.

The gospel mystery is that we are to come together with Israel at least three times a year in our giving so that they and the world know that we love God and God's chosen people. We are His people too. If God Father loves Israel so do we.

Romans 15:26-27 26For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem. 27They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.

Paul is talking to the Gentile church. Saying the same to the Jewish church. It is about bringing glory and honor where the Lord has put His name. So that world knows the city that God loves, we love too.

And we raise His name up with glory and honor so the whole world will see where God has put His name. The Jews will recognize us by our fruits we are from God and they will see us and Jesus in the word they read that they are not able to see now. But it was always there.

This for all of the church, we are to build on the rock that is laid in Zion. We build on the foundation that is the faith Jesus will be looking for when He returns. Some will say “How do you say that?” We say Romans 1:16-17. Just like our family that we are one with, we first take care of them. Then we look to see if there are others we can help. If we don't take care of our family first, we will not have them long. It would be vain not to help family first. Now you have heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ and have received Jesus Christ and our Father. We are one with them as in marriage. We are to take care of our new home (Israel) first which is fulfilled by following the first and greatest commandment and God will take care of us.

This is the only way to get into heaven. We must love what God loves.

Ten Percent is a good start

Malachi 3:10 10Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

Now our family will be taken care of good measure pressed down shaken together. We can do the second commandment

Mark 12:31 31The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

Do not be confused and think that the second commandment will not prosper you. You can take God's word to the Gentiles first and the money will flow in. But this is not the righteousness the Gospel reveals. You are not supporting the root, the root is supporting you. You would be using God's word in vain. You cannot have any seed in Heaven without supporting the root (Israel) God will say “I never knew you” and the Jews will also never know you.

Malachi 3:17-18 17“On the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him. 18And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.

Matt 25:40-46 40“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Col 1:3-6 3We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people— 5the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel 6that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.

The Gospel was always to bring fruit into the house of God first then to the the world. This way Christ has one flock.

John 10:1616I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

Eph 3:6 6This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.

Matt 15:24 24He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

John 10:16 16I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

John 10:27-29 27My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all ; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.

The Gospel has always intended to bring us together with the Jewish people.
