The Sacrifice Of Messiah

The True Sacrifice of

Messiah by D. J. Love, Minister, TSN, SBC updated 11-7-2003 refined 9-14-2007

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)?
