Have you heard of the Four Spiritual Laws?
Just as there are physical laws that govern the physical universe, so there are spiritual laws that govern your relationship with the Bashefer Creator.
| 1 |
The Oybershter loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life |
|
| The Love of the Bashefer | ||
|
“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness..” (Jeremiah 31:3) |
||
| The Plan of the Bashefer | ||
| “You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” (Psalm 16:11) | ||
| (Kitvei HaKodesh Scripture elsewhere calls this a full and meaningful or abundant life.) | ||
|
Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life? Because...

||
| People are Sinful | |||
| “See, this only have I found, that HaElokim has made Man upright; but they have sought out many schemes.” (Kohelet 7:29) | |||
|
“For there is not a just man upon the earth, that does good, and sins not.” (Kohelet 7:20) |
|||
| People are separated from the Bashefer Creator | |||
|
|
|||
| The arrows show that between Hashem HaElokim HaKadosh and sinful man stands a great abyss of separation without a bridge. | |||
| Although the goal of life is Chavrusashaft fellowship with the Bashefer Creator, Man is sinful and separated from the Bashefer Creator; thus he cannot know and experience the Bashefer Creator’s love and plan for his life. | |||
| People have gone after closeness and personal knowledge of Hashem and have not attained this knowledge, because they seek the abundant life through their own efforts, ethics, philosophy, justification with Hashem according to our merit of mitzvahs, etc. | |||
| “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness (merits) are as filthy rags….” (Isaiah 64:6) | |||
|
The third law gives us the only answer to the dilemna, and that answer is the bridge of Chavrusashaft that the Bashefer Creator made over the Abyss of Separation between Mankind and Hashem.
|

The kaporah and my temurah substitute: the Moshiach Ben Dovid is the only provision of the Oybershter for the sin and aveiros of Mankind. Through him you can have the experience of the love of Hashem and know the plan of your life. |
||
|
To reiterate, the Bashefer Creator is holy and Mankind is sinful, and a great chasm or abyss of separation makes a divide between the two. Mankind is trying to bridge this gulf. However, the Oybershter Himself has made a bridge for us over the chasm which separates Him and us. |
|||
| He sent the Oybershter’s Son and named him in advance Yeshua (Zechariah 3:8; 6:11-12; Ezra 3:8), a sign of redemption, a sign name of the coming Redeemer. The Malach had given him the name Yeshua, which the same name (“namesake”) Zecharyah had indicated already, a name given 500 years prior when there is the return from the Golus Babel through Yehoshua Ben Yehotzadak or Yeshua (Kohen Gadol about 515-490 BCE). This is “namesake” of Yeshua Ben Dovid the Adon Kohen l’olam al divrati Melki-Tzedek and our Moshiach to terminate the Golus of sinful estrangement from the Bashefer (see Zechariah 3:8; 6:11-12; Ezra 3:8; Psalm 110:1-4) | |||
|
(Zechariah 12:10) And I will pour upon the Beis Dovid and upon the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, the Ruach of Chen and of Tachanunim; and they shall look upon Me Whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him (Ben Dovid, Whose Beis shall be like Elokim, Zechariah 12:8) as one mourns for his yechid, and shall grieve in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his bechor (see I Chron 21:17; II Samuel 18:9 Ben Dovid pierced on a boim).
|
|||
| Hinei, Seh HaElokim (Isaiah 53:7), see the Lamb of Hashem. | |||
| This is my substitute, this is my kaporah. This one goes to death and I go to Life, because all who rely on works of the Torah and on their own righteousness of the Torah are under a curse. For cursed is everyone that consents not in all that stands written in the Sefer Torah to do it (Devarim 27:26; 21:23). | |||
|
|
|||
| But cursed is everyone that hangs on a Boim. Moshiach is become a curse for us. Moshiach's Boim is our own. Moshiach carried our Boim for us and has become our bridge to Hashem, our Tree of Life, Etz Chayim, which was forfeited and found in him (Genesis 3:22). Moshiach and His Restoration from the dead proves that the kaporah that Yeshua gave is valid and desirable to Hashem. | |||
|
(Isaiah 53:10-11) Yet it pleased Hashem to bruise him; He hath put him to suffering; when Thou shalt make his nefesh an asham offering for sin, he (Moshiach) shall see zera [see Psalm 16 and Yn 1:12 OJBC], He shall prolong his yamim (days) and the chefetz Hashem (pleasure, will of Hashem) shall prosper in his [Moshiach's] hand. He [Hashem] shall see of the travail of his [Moshiach's] nefesh, and shall be satisfied; by knowledge of him [Moshiach] shall Tzadik Avdi [My Righteous Servant, Moshiach, Zecharyah 3:8, Yirmeyah 23:5; Zecharyah 6:11-12, Ezra 3:8 Yehoshua, Yeshua shmo] will justify many; for he [Moshiach] shall bear their avon (iniquities). [T.N. This v.11 says Yitzdak im Hashem through Moshiach] |
|||
|
Hashem would be unjust not to pay the paymaster's bill in the Day of Reckoning. It is not right the paymaster to withhold earnings on payday.
|
|||
| The wages of the sin is death | |||
| In just mercy Moshiach paid our debt. Moshiach Himself has carried away our sin in his body on the Boim. He is our bridge to Hashem. | |||
| The bridge of Chavrusashaft | |||
|
The Oybershter has not changed his blood atonement demand (Vayikra 17:11). But since the Churban, Hashem has satisfied His demand for blood kaporah from a later source (see Zechariah 13:1; I Chronicles 21:17; Daniel 9:24-27; II Samuel 18:9; Zechariah 12:8-10)
|
|||
| Identification of the Coming of Moshiach | |||
| • Descendent of David (Jeremiah 23:5-6) | |||
| • Born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:1) | |||
| • Moshiach’s nature is divine (Isaiah 9:5-6; Psalm 2:7; Proverbs 8:22; 30:4; Psalm 110:1; Malachi 3:1; Daniel 7:13-14; 3:18 | |||
| • Tanakh prophesied Moshiach to stand up alive from the dead ones (Isaiah 53:10-12; Psalm 16:9-10) | |||
| • Moshiach comes before the Destruction of the Second Temple in the Year 70 CE (Daniel 9:24-27) | |||
| • Moshiach’s Name “of Portent” is prophesied to be Yeshua (Zechariah 3:8; Zechariah 6:11-12; see Revelation 22:16) | |||
| There is only one man in history that fulfilled all these prophecies. | |||

We must receive Messiah Yeshua as Goel Redeemer and Adoneinu by personal invitation. |
|
|
Moshiach must be received by personal faith (Isaiah 7:9,14) |
||
| HOW TO RECEIVE MOSHIACH BY FAITH | ||
| Receiving Moshiach involves commitment of the total person--intellect, emotion and will. The change which follows this initial act may be sudden or gradual according to one’s personality. | ||
| (Yeshua is speaking) I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, indeed will I come to him. (Rev 3:20) | ||
|
|
|
| (King Self not on the throne)
(Melech HaMoshiach on the throne.)
|
(King Self on the throne)
(Melech HaMoshiach not on the throne.)
|
(Is there any good reason why you wouldn’t like to receive Moshiach Yeshua right now?)
Ask the Bashefer in your own words. G-d knows your heart and is not concerned with your words, but rather with the attitude of your heart. The following is a suggested prayer:
Adon kol HaAretz Yeshua, forgive my sins. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Goel Redeemer and Adoneinu. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person you want me to be. Thank you for coming into my life and for hearing my prayer as you promised.
Did you pray this prayer?
How do you know that Moshiach Yeshua is in your life now: Did you ask Moshiach into your life? Were you sincere? Where is HE right now? Moshiach Yeshua said that HE would come into your life. Would He mislead you? Then where is HE? On what authority do you know? (The trustworthiness of G-d Himself and His Word.)
And this is the eidus, that Hashem gave Chayei Olam to us, and this Chaim is in His Zoon Foon Der Oybershter. The one having the Zoon Foon Der Oybershter has Chaim; the one not having the Zoon Foon Der Oybershter does not have Chaim. These things I wrote to you who have emunah b’Shem Der Zoon Foon Der Oybershter, that you vada (with certainty) may have da’as that you have Chayei Olam. (Yochanan 5:11-13)
Do Not rely on your Feelings
The reliability of Hashem's Word, the Bible - not our feelings - is our authority. The believer lives by faith (trust) in the reliability of Hashem and His Word. This train picture illustrates the relationship between fact (Hashem and His Word, faith (our trust in G-d and his Word ) and feeling (the result of our faith and obedience).
The train will run with or without the passenger car. However, it would be useless to attempt to pull the train by the passenger car. In the same way, as believers we do not hang on feelings or emotions, but we rely on our faith (trust) in the trustworthiness of G-d and the promises of His Word. (Read Yochanan 14:21).
HOW TO BECOME A DYNAMIC BELIEVER
- Go to G-d in daily prayer! (John 15:7)
- Read daily the Word of G-d - Begin with the Besuras HaGeulah of Yochanan! ( Acts 17:11 )
- To obey G-d in every moment! ( John 14:21 )
- Witness for Moshiach Yeshua daily by your life and words! (Besuras HaGeulah of Matityahu 4:19, Besuras HaGeulah of Yochanan 15:8)

6. Ruach Hakodesh - allow Him to reign in your daily life and witness and empower! Galatians 5:16-17 ; Acts 1:8 )
The purpose of life is to have chavrusashaft with the Bashefer Creator. Hashem will put us in a Kehillah (or in a Chavrusa) for Teshuva-Mikveh and Moshiach’s Tish, because where two or more gather in his name, there he is! [see Zechariah 6:11-12 Mt 18:20]. Visit a Kehillah (or a Chavrusa) today.
