Yahweh Tsidkenu

Jeremiah 23:4-8
"4 I will set up SHEPHERDS over them who will FEED THEM; and they shall FEAR NO MORE, NOR BE DISMAYED, NOR SHALL THEY BE LACKING,” says the LORD. “Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, 5 That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called:
             THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS [YHWH Tsidkenu]

 
7 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “that they shall no longer say, ‘As the LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ 8 but, ‘As the LORD lives who brought up and led the descendants of the house of Israel FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY [Russian Jews] and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ And they shall dwell in their own land.”




We are alive at the most exciting time in history.  God is moving in a very powerful way all over the world, restoring the real Gospel!  It is sweeping across the globe like so much holy fire!  
 


From The Land Of The North.
There is a major and very exciting KairĂ³s (prophetic) event happening in our day:  More Jews than ever before in history are returning to Israel from "the land of the North:  Russia."  This is mentioned in the verse above which proves we are in the days of Yahweh Tsidkenu.  

It is a hallmark of another global occurrence:  A New Priesthood is being raised up all over the world after the order of Melchizedek.  



The Melchizedek Priesthood.
For centuries there have been shepherds over the Church who actually have been beating, not feeding, the sheep of His pasture.  But in these last days, Jesus is raising up a whole new generation of shepherds who will feed His sheep.  HALLELUJAH!!!

Remember Melchizedek?  He was the King of Salem who met Abram after he rescued his Nephew, Lot, and the rest of his family who were taken captive by Chedorlaomer and his cronies.  His first word to him was "Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand."  Genesis 14:19-20.

There was only blessing out of his mouth and no curse.  That's the hallmark of the New priesthood!  Blessing and no curse!  They will teach the people the truth that they are not under condemnation but are blessed of God Most High!
The Melchizedek priesthood will point TO THE SHEPHERD, remind the sheep of their eternal, irrevocable, right standing before the Father because of Jesus' finished work and that they are eternally loved by Jesus.  After all, WE ARE TRANSFORMED BY BEHOLDING, NOT SCOLDING.


This knowledge results in the following.
They will:
A) FEAR NO MORE (No sin consciousness)
B) NOR BE DISMAYED (No fear of punishment from God)
C) NOR SHALL THEY BE LACKING. (Full provision.)


A Gift Not A Reward.
Many Christians sadly believe that righteousness is all about their "right doing."  That would make your right standing with God a reward, not a gift.  AS IF!  
Why do they think that?  They've probably been taught it by their present "Levitical priesthood" which Jesus is in the process of replacing.  


Is righteousness a reward? No. Righteousness is a GIFT you received when you accepted Jesus as your Savior.  His righteousness was imputed to you, though you did nothing right.  Your sins were imputed to Him when He hung on the cross, though He did no sin.  

It really isn't your righteousness at all but His, the One Who gave it to you. He has clothed you with it like a garment and He is NEVER going to take it back.  Yes, that means you are eternally secure! 


 

Soft On Sin?
Does that mean God has gone soft on sin? WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT WITH SOAP!  How can you even think that when He gave up His Beloved Son for you instead of killing you for your sins?!  That sure isn't my definition of soft!  
 
At the cross, God's love and justice met and kissed.  He neither forgives us of our sins on a whim nor loves us without a righteous foundation.  There was a price to pay.  Somebody died for us:  Jesus. 
God unleashed the FULL MEASURE of His just judgment and punishment for sin on Him, holding NOTHING back.  He turned His back on Jesus as he hung there, suspended between heaven and earth.  While He carried our sins, in an unprecedented act, was forsaken by His Father.  


All your sins for your entire life were imputed to Jesus that day, 2,000 years ago on the cross. God did not miss even one.

Now, because of His finished work, you and I, HALLELUJAH, are completely cleansed for all time and eternity. HE DID A COMPLETE WORK!  Your sinning CANNOT touch the righteousness Jesus has given you.  You are completely clean for yourentire life until you meet Jesus face to face!  


But that's not all He's doing.  In these last says, God is pouring out His spirit on all flesh.  Besides restoring the real Gospel, we are in the days of the Key of David and the Tabernacle of David.


The Key Of David
Isaiah 22:20-22
20 “In that day I will summon my servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah. 21 I will clothe him with your robe and fasten your sash around him and hand your authority over to him. He will be a father to those who live in Jerusalem and to the people of Judah. 22 I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 23 I will drive him like a peg into a firm place; he will become a seat of honor for the house of his father. 24 All the glory of his family will hang on him: its offspring and offshoots—all its lesser vessels, from the bowls to all the jars."
 


Secrets In The Hebrew Language.
Before Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, was put in a place of authority, there was a very prideful man who served as comptroller, or treasurer, when Hezekiah was king.  His name was "Shebna," which means "tender youth."  

Because of his pride, he misused his authority and was replaced by Hilkiah, son of Eliakim.  His name means, "Portion Of The Lord," son of Eliakim, which means, "Whom God Sets Up!
That paints a picture, doesn't it?  It's a picture of the Law being replaced by grace! 



Prophetic Significance.
Any time you see the phrase, "In that day," it is referring to the end times.  How do we know that?  The very first time this phrase is mentioned is in Isaiah 2:11.  The Holy Spirit is discussing events that will occur in the end times, just prior to Jesus' return.  
Remember the "Law of first mention?  It is the principle in the interpretation of Scripture which states that the first mention or occurrence of a subject in Scripture establishes an unchangeable pattern, with that subject remaining unchanged in the mind of God throughout Scripture. 


Notice the "KEY" opens doors no one can shut and closes doors no one can open.  And Who is the "key?"  Jesus, the greater David!

In these last days, He is doing exactly that for His people! 


(Tabernacle of David.)


The Tabernacle Of David.
2 Samuel 6:17-19
17 They brought the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and David sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before the Lord. 18 After he had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord Almighty. 19 Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women. And all the people went to their homes."


Unlike the at the temple, in the Tabernacle of David, there is no veil separating  us from Jesus, Who is THE ARK of the covenant. 

Well, in this world, WE ARE JUST LIKE HIM!  You and I have full, free and unrestricted access to our Father because of Jesus!  He brokered a New Covenant, signed and sealed by His precious blood. 

Under the Old Covenant, there was God’s part and our part.  But we aren't able to hold up our end of the bargain. 
What is our part under the New?  


The New Covenant:  Our Part, God's Part
The ONLY thing for us to "do," if you can call it that, is BELIEVE HIM.  BELIEVE the New Covenant as recorded in Hebrews 8.  I have divided it into three parts for clarity.  God first declared it in Jeremiah 31:31-34.
 
 


 
Hebrews 8:10-12
"10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord:

Part 1. I WILL-- put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts.

Nothing for you to DO here. GOD WILL PUT HIS LAWS IN YOUR MIND; GOD WILL write them ON YOUR HEART.  Your part?  BELIEVE.

Part 2. (and) I WILL- be their God,and they shall be My people. 11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for ALL SHALL KNOW ME,from the least of them to the greatest of them.

Again, nothing to "DO" here; GOD WILL be your God when you BELIEVE......and the clause that makes it all work:

Part 3. 12 FOR --->I WILL be merciful to their
a) unrighteousness, and their b) sins and their
c) lawless deeds--->I will remember no more.”


Nothing to "DO" here either. GOD WILL put His laws IN our hearts; GOD WILL be merciful; GOD WILL not remember your sins.
Your part?  BELIEVE.  Are you sensing a pattern here?



This group of end-time Pastors being raised up by God will feed His sheep and remind them of their righteousness in Christ.  They are taking the Church by storm!  Instead of scolding the sheep for not trying harder to please God and live holy lives (which, by the way, not only doesn't work: IT BACKFIRES), they will unveil Jesus, revealing Him in His beauty and glory, for it is Him Who alone transforms!



These are the priests after the order of Melchizedek who reveal Yahweh Tsidkenu!
