The NEW Covenant, and The New Covenant "Jew"(Brethren of The Messiah)
------------
Jer 31:31-37 "Behold, the days come, says YHVH, that I will make a NEW COVENANT with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: NOT ACCORDING TO THE COVENANT THAT I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS IN THE TIME THAT I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO BRING THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT FOR THEY BROKE THAT COVENANT, although I was an husband unto them, says YHVH: (Thankfully no longer natural "fathers" but YHVH, "Our Father" in "the NEWness of The Spirit not the letter")
But this shall be the NEW covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, says YHVH, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts(not in stone, but in their heart consciousness); and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be MY people. ("Come Out of her, MY people"! No longer be of this world and it's systems of religion)
And every man shall no longer teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, "Know YHVH", for they shall all know ME, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, says YHVH: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Thus says YHVH, which gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divides the sea when the waves thereof roar; YHVH of hosts is HIS name:
If those ordinances depart from before ME, says YHVH, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before ME for ever.
Thus says YHVH; If Heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, says YHVH."

The NEW Covenant established The Truth that, "he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, whose circumcision is that of the flesh, he is a Jew who is one inwardly, whose circumcision is of the heart" as he was immersed in, of, by and through The Holy, Set Apart Spirit that is of The One and Only True GOD, Father(Creator) of ALL. And all gentile NEW Covenant believers are "grafted into The Good olive tree", they are of The NEW Covenant Jews.
And The NEW Covenant Israel?
"A Holy Nation".......
Heavenly, Spiritual, and Eternal, not earthly, natural and temporal liken unto the wicked worldly nations, for "the WHOLE(not just a portion) world is under the control of the evil one"! (1John 5:19)

"A Holy Nation".......
Heavenly, Spiritual, and Eternal, not earthly, natural and temporal liken unto the wicked worldly nations, for "the WHOLE(not just a portion) world is under the control of the evil one"! (1John 5:19)
"A nation of kings and priests" indeed and Truth! And all New Covenant believers are "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth" for our "citizenship(Life) is in Heaven"!
We are not of this wicked, evil world and it's systems of religion because we have taken heed unto The Call of The One and Only True GOD, Father (Creator) of ALL to "Come out of her, MY people".
The NEW Covenant believers are those who follow The Messiah on "the narrow way" for we have taken heed unto The Call to "Come Out" of this wicked world, and we have have "set our affections on things above, Heavenly things".......
The NEW Covenant believers are those who follow The Messiah on "the narrow way" for we have taken heed unto The Call to "Come Out" of this wicked world, and we have have "set our affections on things above, Heavenly things".......
We no longer have our portion with those "whose god is their bellies, and whose glory is in their shame, because they mind earthly things". We are no longer of those who "love this world and their own life in, and of it".
Sadly, there are multitudes who profess a belief in The Messiah with their mouth only, for they are "friends of this world" because they "love this world and it's things" ;-( And so it is that they "love their own life in and of this world" ;-( Such is not The Will of "Our Father", HE WHO IS The One and Only True GOD.......
And those who do not seek and desire to do The Will of "Our Father" and "Come Out" of this world's(babylon) systems, and especially it's religious systems, will hear those woe filled words spoken by The Messiah, "I never knew you, depart from Me all you workers of iniquity" ;-(

A prime cause for the hearing of such words will be unbelief for they believed not The Word of Truth which testified that "the WHOLE (not just a portion) world is under the control of the evil one"! And they believed not The Messiah Who testified that "this world was evil" and "hated Him", and Who testified that His brethren were "not of this world"!
Thankfully The NEW Covenant believers, the brethren of The Messiah, have their "citizenship(Life) in Heaven" and we have our portion in "A Holy Nation" of "kings and priests", all of whom are thankful that, that which was "decaying and waxing old" DID "vanish away" with the destruction of the natural, earthly kingdom centered in jerusalem.

Truth IS the old covenant did indeed vanish away, The NEW Covenant WAS IN Fullness, and IS!
For at the time the old covenant "vanished away" "THY Kingdom" DID "Come" and IS, for The Messiah delivered up The Kingdom unto His GOD and Father(Creator) just as Paul prophesied, and The Kingdom of The One and Only True GOD in Heaven WAS, IS, and ALWAYS WILL BE.......
The Messiah had prophesied, "Truly I say unto you, that THERE ARE SOME STANDING HERE, WHO WILL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, UNTIL THEY HAVE SEEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD COME IN POWER".(Mark 9:1, Luke 9:7, Matthew 16:28)
And in The Power that is The Spirit of Truth the prophecy was fulfilled!
No longer old, natural, earthly and temporal, The Kingdom of The One and Only True GOD WAS, IS, and ALWAYS WILL BE NEW, Spiritual, Heavenly and Eternal.......
And The New Covenant Jew(brother of The Messiah) is the True Hebrew(one from beyond) today!

And so it is that yesterday, today, and if there be a tomorrow, that "the chosen ones", "the elect", The NEW Covenant believer, the Spiritual Jew, "the brethren of The Messiah", continue to "fight the good fight of Faith" as they but seek and desire that which is NEW, Spiritual, Heavenly and Eternal.......
For we realize our "citizenship(Life) is in Heaven", and we choose to be but "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth".......
So it is that we desire to "forsake all" and "suffer the loss of all things, Yes, and our own life as well".......

For "Love suffers long", and so it is that the brethren of The Messiah can rejoice, even as we do "suffer long"!
Giving ALL Thanks and Praise Unto The One and Only True GOD, Father(Creator) of ALL!
And, "Oh, the Joy that comes in the Morning(mourning)"!
For we realize that soon, and very soon, we will be taken Home, Home at last!
Till then:
For we realize that soon, and very soon, we will be taken Home, Home at last!
Till then:
Father Help! and HE does.......

Abide in Truth....... francis
