The True Sacrifice

of
Messiah

Traditional christianity has taught mankind that a Jewish savior with the
Greek name of Jesus (Iesous, Ishous or IHS) died on a cross to save us all from
our sins; AND all we have to do to be saved from eternal death and torture is
to believe that Jesus (IHS) is God in the flesh, and that Jesus (God in the flesh)
died so that we would not have to. That the shedding of his blood washes or
covers us and our sins, and that when God looks down on us, He only sees
the sacrificial blood of Jesus (IHS or God in the flesh or His own sacrifice).

Nothing Could Be Further From The Truth!

YHVH is neither blind nor a fool! This is not to say that the First
Spiritually Appointed Human Son of GOD (the First of the First Fruits) did
not willingly allow himself to be crucified at the hands of Roman Soldiers
and at the request of some angry Hebrew legalist; Nor does it mean that his
crucifixion wasn't a very important aspect of his personal ministry. This
message is not to de-emphasize Messiah's crucifixion, but to emphasize his
whole sacrifice. As for the Greek name Jesus (Iesous, Ihsous or IHS), it is the
covert English phonetic spelling of the ancient Sun god IHSous or Iesous."
Even the Roman catholic church does not try to hide this fact, and have even
abbreviated the name of their so called savior, Jesus, as "IHS" (see Site
Information page).
 Psalms 89:20-29 (Messiah is the seed and heir of King David)
20 I have found (King) David, my servant. I have anointed him
with my Holy oil,
21 With whom my hand shall be established. My arm will also
strengthen him.
22 No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.
23 I will beat down his adversaries before him, And strike those
who hate him.
24 But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness will be with
him. In my name, his horn will be exalted.
25 I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the
rivers.
26 He (King David/Messiah) will call to me, 'You are my Father,
My GOD, and the rock of my salvation!'
27 I will also appoint [Make] him my firstborn (Son), The
highest of the kings of "The Earth."

Note: Whoa! " appoint him" as my firstborn son?

Yes, you saw it correctly. Messiah is an " appointed
Firstborn Son" meaning Messiah Y'Shua has been given
the position of "INHERITANCE without necessarily
having been physically born to it."

MESSIAH wasn't the physically Firstborn of YHVH!

His position is appointed! This explains why Moses, The
prophets, etc. . . were not considered as a Firstborn.
Messiah's position is "Spiritually Inherited" from and
through King David.

As for the word "Sacrifice," mankind has been prejudiced into conjuring up
visions of pagan Roman, Mayan or Aztec type sacrifices in which the victim
may have been willing to die, but historically most were not willing victims,
but captured enemies. Even so, the word "Sacrifice" is now only vaguely
associated with a "Living Sacrifice."

Romans 12:1-2
 Therefore I beg you, brothers, by the mercies of GOD, to present your
bodies (life) a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to GOD, which IS
your spiritual service.
2 Don't be fashioned according to this world, but be transformed by
the renewing of your mind (receive YHVH's Holy Spirit of Love), so that
you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of
GOD.

Therefore, I say to you all right now, that the crucifixion of Messiah Y'Shua
was not the beginning of his personal sacrifice, but the culmination of his
personal sacrifice. If we find ourselves only concentrating on his crucifixion,
then we have missed the most meaningful part of his reason for being born
and living, which was (is) his ministry on Earth. Messiah Y'Shua was not
born just to be crucified! When we say that we believe in the Messiah, we
should actually be thinking that we believe in his ministry. After all, it was
his ministry that angered the legalist that had him crucified. The legalist
were happy at his crucifixion! So, is there a lesson to be learned from his
whole "Sacrifice?" Absolutely!

What other lies has The Roman Harlot Church imposed

on the whole world through her own deceptions and the
deceptions of her Christian protestant daughters?
Try this one on for size: The side of Messiah was not "Pierced" ; it was
"Pricked"!

The Roman Jesus has been misrepresented in translation as a physical

GOD rather than a man with the Righteousness Seeking Spirit (Mind) of
YHVH, who (representing The House Of David) was critically pierced with a
spear, but in reality he was only pricked in the skin to see if he would react to a
sharp stimulus. When he did not react, the soldier assumed he was dead.

Zechariah 12:8-10
8 In that (future) day shall the LORD YHVH defend the inhabitants of
(New) Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that (future) day
shall be as (likened to) David; and the "House of David" shall be as
 (likened to) YHVH, as (likened to) the angel (messenger) of the LORD
YHVH before them.
9 And it shall come to pass in that (future) day, that I (YHVH) will seek
to destroy all the nations that come against (New) Jerusalem.
10 And I will pour upon the (Spiritual Jew) "House of David", and
upon the inhabitants of (New) Jerusalem, the spirit (attitude) of grace
and of supplications: and they shall look upon ME (YHVH) whom they
have pierced (whose metaphorical Spiritual Heart they have broken or
pierced), and they shall mourn, as one mourneth for his only son, and
shall be in bitterness, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Note: YHVH wasn't physically pierced in the heart with a

spear. This is a metaphorical figure of speech for those with
spiritual "Ears to Hear, and Eyes to See", so as to understand
that YHVH was greatly broken hearted by mankind's behavior,
and that at some future date those guilty persons will see the
truth and consequences of their past actions. The Messiah
wasn't pierced !

John 19:34-37 (a ROMAN mistranslation)

34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced (Strong's G3572;
ekkenteo) his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water
(plasma).
35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he
knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A
bone of him shall not be broken.
37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom
they (have perceived to have) pierced.

The word misinterpreted as pierced in John 19 verse 37 is ‘ ekkenteo’ :- to

thrust (like unto a lance, etc.) into something OR to penetrate with either
physical sight or The Mind's eye [perceived]. The Roman Church wants you
to perceive that the soldier thrusts his lance deep into Messiah’s side thus
assuring his death. To even consider this as a possibility of fulfillment, the
soldier must have fully thrust the lance into Messiah’s side or heart.
However, three verses up in verse 34, the Greek word is nusso (to prick).
 John 19:34 (Corrected)
But one of the soldiers with a spear pricked (Strong's G3572; nusso) his
side, and forthwith came there out (some) blood and (some) water
(plasma).

Note: In John 19:34 "Pierced" is G3572: nussw or nusso

(noos'-so); apparently a primary word; to prick ("nudge"):--
pierce (the skin); make a tiny indentation or dot.

Apparently The ROMAN Church wants us to believe the word "Prick" is

really to be interpreted as a full thrust and not a very small puncture or a
prick or dot, made by a sharp point. This proves Messiah was not ‘ ekkenteo'
thrust through with a spear. "The ROMAN Church" did deceitfully
misrepresent their JESUS as having DIED on "The Cross" for our sins.
However, the True Messiah did not die as a result of his crucifixion.

More Proof:

John 19:29
Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge
with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to (or into) his
mouth.

Hyssop: May be taken as a tea or tincture made from dried

leaves. The tea is prepared by infusing 2 or 3 teaspoons of the
dried herb in one cup of hot water for ten to fifteen minutes. A
maximum of three diluted cups can be drunk per 24 hour day.
Alternatively, 1 to 4 ml of diluted tincture can be taken up to
three times per day. If hyssop is being used to help soothe a sore
throat, gargle with the tea or tincture before swallowing. The
essential undiluted volatile oil (pinocamphone)directly obtained
from fresh hyssop should never be used at a level higher than 1
or 2 drops per day internally, though more can be used
topically on unbroken skin. One teaspoon of dried hyssop herb
steeped in 1 cup of hot water in a closed vessel for 15 to 20
minutes, then given in small sips from a bottle over a period of
 2 to 3 hours, may help calm colic.

Are there any side effects or interactions? Yes!

A weak tea or tincture of dried hyssop is unlikely to cause
adverse effects. However, the volatile oil (pinocamphone) can
cause seizures in humans when taking more than 10 drops in a
day for a healthy adult. For this reason, the volatile oil should
be used with extreme caution and is not recommended for
those in a weakened state, with epilepsy or with any other
seizure disorder.

Messiah, in his weaken state, (1) has pure fresh hyssop placed into the
opening of his mouth (along with a sponge of vinegar), and (2) Messiah did not
have his side or heart thrust through with a spear. (3) Conclusion: Messiah
was in an induced catatonic state and not dead when he was taken down
from the torture stake.

catatonic: of, relating to, or characterized by catatonia

• informal of or in an immobile or unresponsive stupor.

You see, Satan (source of mankind's Human Nature) doesn't want us to realize
that Messiah Y'Shua's MINISTRY was his sacrifice. Satan (Human Nature)
wants mankind to think that it was only his physical life (living soul) that was
his sacrifice, but the Bible indicates otherwise. Why? Because Y'Shua didn't
fear physical death (like most human beings do), he feared being separated
from YHVH, which is eternal death. This is not to say that he enjoyed the
idea of enduring the pain of crucifixion. And so I reiterate, it was (is) his
MINISTRY that was (is) his "Sacrifice" to mankind, and his crucifixion
was (is) the culmination of that MINISTRY. He gave up a normal personal
life and human ambition for our sakes AND he became our righteous
example and Passover Lamb! But without his selfless MINISTRY, he
would not have been an acceptable example of a "Living Sacrifice" for sin
(selfishness), and his crucifixion would have been meaningless.

1 John 3:13-18
13 Don't be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
 14 We know that we have passed out of (physical) death into (eternal)
life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn't love his brother
remains in (physical & Spiritual) death.
15 Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no
murderer has eternal life remaining in him.
16 By this we know love, because he laid down his (whole) life (from
beginning to end) for us (as a living sacrifice). We (also) ought to lay
down our lives for the brothers (as a living sacrifice).
17 But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need,
and shuts up his compassion from him, how does the love of GOD
remain in him?
18 My little children, let's love not in word only, neither with the
tongue only, but in deed (Spirit) and truth.

Therefore, it is our Spiritual duty (through selfless love) to follow in (mimic)

the footsteps (Example) of Messiah Y'Shua's SELFLESS MINISTRY, and to
SELFLESSLY LOVE our brother (neighbor, fellow man/woman) in DEED
(Spirit) and in TRUTH (basically the same as John 4:22-24).

Therefore "Sacrifice" means to die to "Self." See "The Two

Realities of Sin."

Revelation 12:11
11 They (The Chosen Few or First Fruits) overcame him (Satan, SELF,
Beast, Human Nature, etc...) because of the Lamb's blood (symbolic of his
whole LIFE's MINISTRY), and because of the word of their testimony
(their own personal Ministry). They did not love their (physical) life, even
to death (the culmination of their own personal ministry).

Note: But they did love their MINISTRY (of Love), their
neighbor and YHVH!

John 4:22-24
22 You worship that which you don't know. We worship that which
 we know; for salvation is from (by way of) the Jews (tribe of Judah).
23 But the hour comes, and NOW IS, when the true worshippers
will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth, for the Father seeks
such to be his worshippers.
24 GOD is spirit, and those who worship him MUST worship in
Spirit AND Truth."

With recent revelations in the use of anthropomorphisms (The use of physical

example to teach Spiritual Truth) by YHVH and our Elder Brother, Y'Shua. I
have been Spiritually directed to analyze the legalism of the Christian
interpretation of our Messiah's sacrifice and the shedding of his blood on
"The Cross." AND, the more I study this, the more I am convinced that it is
NOT and never has been the blood (itself) that washes away the sins of The
World (as we have been taught by Christian Legalism / doctrine), BUT the
motive (Loving Intent) behind the selfless act of "SELF-SACRIFICE"
(Messiah actually did give himself to be sacrificed for its symbolism) that serves to
wash away sin (so to speak). It was Messiah's entire Life Ministry,
culminating in his crucifixion, that was his TRUE SACRIFICE. Therefore,
he taught us by his example to become a "LIVING SACRIFICE" even
unto our own death. This is truly paralleled by even the Ancient Israelite
animal sacrifices under the Laws given by Moses (Mosiac Laws). Wherein,
the ancients were to choose their best (spotless) lambs (animals) to give for
sacrifice, NOT because YHVH was impressed by the physical perfection of
the animals, BUT rather because Israel (and mankind) was (is) impressed by
physical perfection; And therefore, they would feel the LOSS of the
SACRIFICE to a much greater degree. THIS truly mimics (is an
anthropomorphism of) "SELF-SACRIFICE." Additionally, this also mimics
the (very near) physical sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham; HOWEVER, by
intervening to prevent the death of Isaac, YHVH showed us that it was
Abraham's INTENT that was of upmost importance. AND furthermore, I
believe that it is THE INTENT of THE HEART that has ALWAYS been the
point of differentiation between receiving "Favor" (Grace) OR not in
YHVH's Eyes. Therefore, The Messiah's Role in "The Plan of Salvation" is
NOT as portrayed by Christianity at all, but is more in-line with how he is
portrayed by Judaism.

Therefore, since it was Messiah's Lifelong Ministry that was (is) his
sacrifice, THEN it is ALSO Our LIFE's MINISTRY that is our (Living)
Sacrifice. For it is in this way that we follow IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF
MESSIAH. This understanding pretty much completely rules out waiting
until you're on your death bed before you make the decision to believe and
follow in Messiah's footsteps.

So what is the lesson to be learned? NOW IS THE TIME to follow in the

footsteps of Messiah's MINISTRY, and present your physical life as a
selfless LIVING SACRIFICE. For if we say we "BELIEVE IN HIM," then
we MUST, also, believe in his MINISTRY, because it is our MINISTRY
that follows his example and bears our fruit unto Righteousness.

Mark 4:20
20 These (chosen few or First Fruits) are those who were sown on the
good ground: such as hear the word (Truth), and accept it, and bear
fruit (MINISTRY), some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one
hundred times."

John 15:2
2 Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit (MINISTRY), he takes
away. Every branch that bears fruit (MINISTRY), he prunes, that it
may bear more fruit (MINISTRY).
3 You are already pruned clean because of the word (Truth) which I
have spoken to you.
4 Remain in me (my MINISTRY of Love), and I (my living Sacrifice of
Love) in you. As the branch can't bear fruit (MINISTRY) by itself,
unless it remains in the vine (my MINISTRY of Love), so neither can
you, unless you remain in me (my MINISTRY of Love).

Remember this: Messiah's LIVING sacrifice of Love, and his

crucifixion are both part of the same MINISTRY.

Have you presented your life as a selfless "Living

Sacrifice" according to the "Ministry" of Messiah
 Y'Shua ?

Ephesians 5:6-16 (speaking to True Worshippers)

6 Let no man deceive you with empty words. For because of these
things, the wrath of GOD comes on the sons of disobedience.
7 Don't be therefore partakers with them.
8 For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Kurios (He who
has the authority of YHVH). Walk as children of light (MINISTRY),
9 for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness (MINISTRY) and
righteousness (MINISTRY) and truth (MINISTRY),
10 proving what (MINISTRY) is well-pleasing to the Kurios.
11 Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but
rather even reprove them (with (MINISTRY).
12 For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even
to speak of.
13 But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light,
for everything that is revealed is light (MINISTRY).
14 Therefore he says, "Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the
dead, and Messiah will shine on you."
15 Therefore watch carefully how you walk (MINISTRY), not as
unwise, but as wise (MINISTRY);
16 redeeming the time (MINISTRY), because the days are evil.

John 15:12
12 This is my commandment, that you love one another (MINISTRY of
believers), even as (following my example) I have loved you (MINISTRY
of Y'Shua).

Luke 9:23-25
23 He (Messiah) said to all, "If anyone desires to come after me (follow
in my footsteps), let him deny himself (a personal living sacrifice or
MINISTRY), take up his (personal) cross (living sacrifice) , and follow
 me (the example of my MINISTRY).
24 For whosoever desires to save his (physical selfserving) life will lose
it, but whoever will lose his life (give up SELFISHNESS) for my sake,
the same will save it (receive Eternal Life).
25 For what does it profit a man if he (selfishly) gains the whole world,
and loses or forfeits his own self (eternal self)?
