Lundi 21 mars.

Je vais avec Eyal à Gush Katif. Eyal m’attend à la gare de Ashdod south, où je le vois parler avec un palestinien de Gaza qui, pour la première fois depuis longtemps, a pu rentrer en Israël. Il attend un ami et espère trouver du travail. Je le prends en photo. L’endroit se nomme Ad Halom junction. C’est ici que la progression de l’armée égyptienne vers Tel Aviv a été stoppée en 1948. C’est Eyal qui me raconte cela. Son père a combattu dans la toute nouvelle armée israélienne pendant la guerre d’indépendance.

Gush Katif. Le contrôle à l’entrée est pour le moins léger. Nous nous rendons à Shirat Hayam (la chanson de l’océan, ou le poème de l’océan), un village construit le long de la plage, à côté d’anciennes constructions de l’armée égyptienne. Eyal y a un contact, un jeune couple qui nous accueille très bien.

L’endroit est pour le moins très étonnant. Un grillage protège la colonie. De l’autre côté une route palestinienne sur laquelle passent les villageois. A une centaine de mètres, le village palestinien.

Sur une tour de guet, deux soldats, l’un d’origine moscovite et l’autre ukrainienne, nous invitent à monter. Ils ont l’air de s’embêter. Ils nous montrent sur un ordinateur portable les photos qu’ils prennent. Pour eux, les problèmes viennent du côté israélien, pas du côté palestinien, nous disent-ils en nous montrant des maisons proches de leur tour.

Gush Katif n’est pas un endroit très excitant à photographier. On en fait le tour facilement. La présence de Eyal, israélien, me facilite la tache.

On ne sent pas de tension, un peu comme si les colons ne croyaient pas que dans quatre mois exactement, le 20 juillet, les opérations d’évacuation allaient commencer.

Un ancien ministre du gouvernement de Ariel Sharon, Efi Etam, est attendu dans la colonie de Netser Hasani. Il a décidé de s’installer à Gush Katif pour soutenir la cause de ses habitants. Petit cirque médiatique. Il visite des maisons, s’assoit dans une cuisine, parle aux télévisions, répond aux questions des journalistes présents, reçoit un bouquet de fleurs.

Sur la plage de Shirat Hayam, de jeunes étudiants dans une yashiva de Gush Katif fument le narghileh. Au loin, les femmes promènent leurs enfants.

Efi Atam passe aussi par cette colonie. On lui montre plusieurs maisons libres. Elles plaisent à son épouse. Puis il s’en va.

La route du retour, à la sortie, est bloquée par l’armée. Il y a une alerte d’infiltration : nom de code »turkish rider ».

Un peu plus de deux heures, à cause du détour, pour rejoindre Jérusalem, où je dîne avec Alex L. et John T. Soirée très arrosée. On parle d’Israël, de la situation, et beaucoup sur l’antisémitisme qui revient au galop.

À suivre...

John Baptist

Greetings everyone,

We continue our study of Matthew 3.

The worms had finished off Herod! Joseph was called home and Jesus shall be called a "Nazarene". According to the Baker Illustrated Bible Commentary, this declaration cannot be found in the Old Testament or elsewhere. The commentary describes it as wordplay and suggests that this refers to the Hebrew word "netser" translated: branch. This Hebrew word occurs in Isaiah 11:1, where "netser" refers to a son of Jesse [David's father]. The term was used to evoke messianic hopes, emphasizing Jesus as Messiah, son of David, the hope of Israel's restoration.

Joseph followed the voice of God through his dreams. When men follow the voice of God their purpose is assured but dangers still lurk around every corner. We can be certain that when Joseph was received into glory, he was greeted with a loud shout and our Lord praising him, "well done, good and faithful servant".

Fast track 30 years later. Elijah returns in the person of John the Baptist to prepare the people to receive their king. Another man who walks God's path in word and action.

John walks in the wilderness of Judea. The promised land had become a wilderness again. The people's hearts were more Greek and pagan than Jew. They had turned to religion rather then to their God. The Holy of Holies was but a vacuous space! Religion, men's rule book, was the standard, but as with the days of old when Moses made Israel set out from the Red Sea into the wilderness of Shur and Elijah confronted Ahab breaking the drought, the hand of God is on his people defeating the prophets of Baal.

Repent! Turn from your secular ways for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Where Jesus is, the kingdom is! Heaven has invaded earth and remains here today in the form of the true Church and I'm not talking about that building down the street. (check out blog one for clarification) The kingdom of God will come to its completeness at the parousia.

I find it interesting that we get a physical description of John the Baptist. Dressed in camel's hair and a leather belt, not embroidered in fine cloth like the Pharisees. So consumed with his calling that John would've paid little attention to his physical adornments.

Check out 2 Kings:8 and you will quickly realize that the Bible is screaming at us that this John the Baptist is the predicted return of Elijah the Tishbite who let the fire come down from heaven to consume the ungodly.

Wake up you brood of vipers, you people who drive nice cars, dine at fine cafés and discuss the latest gossip. The axe is at the tree. Repent or bear the wrath of the law! The choice is yours!

Yours truly DW Stan!

QUEM É O SERVO SOFREDOR DE ISAÍAS 53?

ISAÍAS 53 REFERE-SE A NAÇÃO DE ISRAEL, OU AO MESSIAS?

O servo sofredor de Isaías 53 tem sido, durante séculos, uma pedra de tropeço entre cristãos e judeus. Enquanto comentaristas judeus afirmam que Isaías descreve o sofrimento de Israel, os cristãos leem isso como uma profecia sobre o sofrimento e a morte expiatória do Messias: "ele foi transpassado por causa das nossas transgressões, foi esmagado por causa de nossas iniquidades". O capítulo 53 de Isaías já foi entendido como referência ao Messias também no pensamento judaico ou não?

Vamos lá, devido ao crescimento de correntes judaicas como os judeus netsarim (judeus nazarenos) e, numa tentativa desesperada e frustrada em tentar refutar a crença messiânica de que o Servo Sofredor na Profecia de Isaías 53 é o Messias vindouro, a moderna teologia judaica rabínica engenhosamente elaborou uma interpretação grotesca, totalmente descontextualizada onde afirmam que o Servo Sofredor de Isaías 53 é a nação de Yisrael, passando por cima até mesmo dos próprios Sábios do Talmud que também defendem que Isaías 53 refere-se sim a um Messias vindouro. Diante deste escopo o Artigo abaixo refuta totalmente esta ideia anti-messias da moderna teologia judaica. Segue-se agora a dissertação em tópicos sobre por que não aceitamos que a Profecia do Servo Sofredor de Isaías 53 seja o povo de Yisrael e sim o próprio Messias, Jesus Cristo.

1. O servo de Isaías 53 é um SOFREDOR INOCENTE E SEM CULPA. Israel nunca é descrito como SEM PECADO. No mesmo Livro de Isaías em que se encontra a profecia do servo sofredor (cap. 53), lemos que em Isaías 1: 4 se diz da nação: "Ai, nação pecadora, povo carregado de iniquidade, geração de malfeitores, filhos corruptores!”. Ele continua no mesmo capítulo, a igualar JUDÁ como SODOMA, JERUSALÉM como uma PROSTITUTA, e o povo como aqueles cujas mãos estão manchadas de sangue (versículos 10, 15 e 21).

Ou seja, não existe nenhuma comparação de que Israel era o “servo” sofredor e sem pecado. Quão distante é a descrição do servo sofredor de Isaías 53, e que não havia pecado e que nenhum engano havia em sua boca.

2. O profeta disse: "AGRADOU AO ETERNO MOÊ-LO." Então, o tratamento terrível que o povo judeu recebeu, agradou a Deus? Foi realmente um prazer para o Senhor?

Se, como alguns rabinos afirmam, Isaías 53 refere-se ao holocausto, podemos realmente dizer do sofrimento de Israel durante esse período horrível: "Agradou ao eterno machucá-los?”. No entanto, é comprovado através das escrituras e faz todo o sentido, dizer que Deus se agradou de ver o Messias sofrer e morrer, como nossa oferta, o sacrifício perfeito para expiação de todo o pecado, a fim de trazer salvação e vida eterna a toda humanidade, a todos os que creem no nome de Jesus Cristo.

3. A pessoa mencionada nesta passagem SOFRE SILENCIOSA E VOLUNTARIAMENTE. Mas todas as pessoas, mesmo o povo de Israel sempre se queixavam quando sofriam. Lembram-se do líder Moisés, toda a paciência que teve com o povo por conta de suas queixas e rebeldias? Quantas vezes teve que interceder junto ao Senhor, para que esse não os eliminasse de vez. Apesar dos milagres e cuidado de Deus, foram um povo que nunca se contentou com aquilo que Deus realizava em seu meio. Ou seja, não foi jamais, um “servo sofredor” que sofreu calado, como um cordeiro mudo ao matadouro. Somente um poderia entregar sua vida por nós. E Ele fez. Sim, Jesus entregou sua vida, como um cordeiro sem mácula.

4. A figura descrita em Isaías 53 SOFRE, MORRE e RESSUSCITA para expiar os pecados do seu povo.

A palavra hebraica usada em Isaías 53:10 para "oferta pelo pecado" é "asham", que é um termo técnico que significa "oferta pelo pecado". Veja como é usado no Levítico, capítulos 5 e 6. Isaías 53 descreve: “Um cordeiro sacrificial, impecável e perfeito, que toma sobre si os pecados dos outros para que possam ser perdoados”. Alguém pode realmente afirmar que o terrível sofrimento do povo judeu, por mais imerecido e injusto que seja, foi uma expiação pelos pecados da humanidade? De quem realmente, a passagem de Isaías 53 se refere, a figura descrita sofre e morre para fornecer um pagamento legal pelo pecado a fim de que outros, possam ser perdoados. Ou seja, se fosse Israel, aquele que sofreria, morreria e ressuscita-se, por quem eles morreriam se não sobraria ninguém vivo? E sendo assim, eles também teriam ressuscitado, pois o “servo sofredor” descrito nas escrituras, ressuscitaria no terceiro dia. Dessa forma, descartamos qualquer possibilidade de ser o povo Judeu, o servo sofredor de Isaías 53.

5. Aqui no texto é o próprio profeta Isaías quem está falando que o servo sofredor foi punido pela “transgressão do meu povo”, de acordo com o versículo 8. A pergunta é: Quem é o povo do profeta Isaías? É o povo de Israel. O servo sofredor de Isaías 53 sofreu pelo povo de Israel. Então, como Israel poderia ser o próprio povo de Israel?

6. A figura de Isaías 53 “MORRE E É SEPULTADA” de acordo com os versículos 8 e 9. O povo de Israel nunca morreu como um todo, e ainda assim, se todo o povo tivesse sido dizimado em sua totalidade, tivesse morrido, quem iria morrer pelo povo? Quem iria morrer para salvar o próprio povo que havia morrido? Isso seria um paradoxo em si mesmo, ou seja, alguém ser morto, dando a sua vida para salvar a si mesmo da própria morte. Muito confuso, não é mesmo? O povo de Israel foi expulso para fora de sua terra em duas ocasiões e depois voltaram, mas eles nunca deixaram de estar entre os vivos. Diferente de Jesus Cristo que morreu, foi sepultado e ao terceiro dia, RESSUSCITOU. Glória à Deus!

Assim sendo, e com todas as informações retiradas da história e da própria escritura, o que podemos de fato afirmar? Que ISAÍAS 53 não pode, em hipótese alguma se referir ao povo de Israel. Também não tem como se referir a nenhum profeta. Nem Isaías, nem Moisés e muito menos Elias. E se não foi Moisés, certamente não seria qualquer outro ser humano menor do que ele. Mas segundo a palavra, o MESSIAS seria MAIOR do que Moisés. Porque ELE É MAIOR DO QUE OS PATRIARCAS, como se diz: "Meu servo será EXALTADO, e ELEVADO, e SUBLIME AO EXTREMO". E Ele, será mais ELEVADO do que Abraão, e EXALTADO acima de Moisés.

Então de que fala o profeta Isaías? Ele fala do Messias, do Rei dos reis e Senhor dos senhores. Tanto que o segundo versículo de Isaías 53 corrobora com essa afirmação, tornando muito mais claro e evidente, quando diz: ““Porque foi subindo como renovo perante ele e como raiz de uma terra seca; não tinha parecer nem formosura; e, olhando nós para ele, nenhuma beleza víamos, para que o desejássemos.” ‭‭Isaías‬ ‭53:2‬ ‭

O Renovo que brota é sem sombra de dúvidas, uma referência ao Messias que havia de vir. E de fato, é uma referência messiânica comum, não só no livro de Isaías, como também em vários outros livros da Bíblia. A dinastia davídica deveria “SER CORTADA” no juízo como uma árvore derrubada, mas foi prometido a Israel que UM RENOVO (BROTINHO) BROTARIA DO TOCO. O Messias deveria ser aquele BROTO. Várias palavras hebraicas foram usadas para se referir a esta inegável imagem messiânica. Todos os termos estão relacionados no significado e estão conectados nos textos messiânicos onde foram usados. Em Isaías 11, que praticamente TODOS OS RABINOS também concordam que se refere ao Messias, foram usadas as palavras "RENOVO" (hoter) e “RAMO” (netser) para descrever o REI MESSI NICO. Isaías 11:10 chamou O MESSIAS de "RAIZ (shoresh) de Jessé”. Sendo esse Jessé, o pai de Davi.

Isaías 53 descreveu o SERVO SOFREDOR como UMA RAIZ (shoresh) de terra seca, usando a mesma METÁFORA e a mesma PALAVRA que Isaías 11. Também vemos outros termos usados para o mesmo conceito, como o “BROTO” (tsemach) em Jeremias 23.5, em Isaías 4.2 e também, nas surpreendentes profecias de Zacarias 3.8 e 6.12.

Sem dúvida, Isaías 52.13 e 53.12, refere-se ao MESSIAS YESHUA, JESUS CRISTO e não ao povo de Israel. Ele, Jesus Cristo, é aquele que foi exaltado, diante de quem os reis fecham a boca. O Messias é O RENOVO que surgiu da DINASTIA caída de DAVID. Ele se tornou O REI DOS REIS. Ele providenciou a expiação final e completa. Mesmo com o Seu sofrimento, Ele agradou a Deus.

Isaías 53 deve ser entendido como referindo-se ao REI DAVÍDICO que viria, isto é, o Messias e não o povo de Israel. Foi profetizado que O Rei Messias iria sofrer e morrer pelos nossos pecados e que depois, iria ressuscitar. Ele serviria como sacerdote às nações do mundo e aplicaria o sangue da expiação para purificar os que crêem.

Ou seja, SOMENTE há um, a quem este texto de Isaías 53 pode se referir, Yeshua, o Messias que havia de vir. Aquele, cujo milhões se referem como O CRISTO, que vem da palavra grega para MESSIAS. Todo aquele que crê em Seu nome e O CONFESSAM como Senhor e Salvador de suas vidas, se tornam FILHOS DE DEUS, sua prometida descendência, os despojos de sua vitória, aqueles que juntamente com Ele, se tornam herdeiros, que passam a receber a vida eterna. Que coisa tremenda que só Jesus poderia nos dar. De acordo com o testemunho dos Apóstolos Judeus, Yeshua morreu por nossos pecados, ressuscitou, ascendeu à direita de Deus e agora serve como nosso grande Sumo Sacerdote que nos purifica do pecado. E nosso Rei Yeshua governa O SEU POVO e está em vias de conquistar os gentios. Os discípulos judeus do primeiro século estavam dispostos a morrer em vez de negar que tinham visto o Messias ressuscitado.

Portanto, não temos como negar o óbvio, aquilo que a história mostrou, o que as escrituras comprovam, que Yeshua, Jesus Cristo de Nazaré é aquele quem Isaías, o profeta, profetizou dizendo que Ele viria. E Ele veio, sofreu, morreu e ressuscitou. Ele recebeu a mais alta posição e o nome, que está acima de todo o nome, para que ao nome de Jesus, todo joelho se dobre, no céu, na terra e debaixo da terra, e toda língua confesse, que Jesus Cristo é o Senhor, para a glória de Deus Pai. Jesus Cristo vive e em breve voltará. Deus te abençoe.

HaMashiach, a Christian or a Nazarene Israelite from the Tribe of Judah?

The said prophecy 'He should be called a Nazarene’ (Matt. 2:23) is speaking about HaMashiach, which there is convincing evidence, in the old testament, that has been brought forward to identify this statement. Sometimes people look for this reference in English translations in the Old Testament, but they don’t find it because the reference is in Hebrew. The prophet Isaiah says, "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch (Netzer/H#5342) shall grow out of his roots." - Isaiah 11:1

When looking at the word "Netzer or Netser" (strongs #5342) it is a type of Branch - a shoot or sprout from an olive tree that grows out of its original root system but springs up at a later time from the stump, or somewhat distant from the trunk.

Netzer is more properly translated shoot or sprout. The Hebrew for Tsemach (H#6780) is most commonly translated Branch, which is used to mention the coming of HaMashiach.

"Behold, the days come, saith the YHWH, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch (tseh'-makh/H#6780), and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, HaMashiach Our Righteousness." - Jeremiah 23:5-6

"In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch (tseh'-makh/H#6780) of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land." - Jeremiah 33:15

"Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch." (tseh'-makh/H#6780) - Zechariah 3:8

"And speak unto him, saying, thus speaketh YHWH of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The Branch (tseh'-makh/H#6780); and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of YHWH:" - Zechariah 6:12

"In that day shall the branch (tseh'-makh/H#6780) of YHWH be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel." - Isaiah 4:2

"And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch (Netzer/ H#5342) shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of YHWH shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of YHWH;" - Isaiah 11:1-2

"Nazarenes" or "Netzarim" is a title used to identify the foundational group of disciples (Apostles) of HaMashiach. The singular of "Netzarim" is the Hebrew (#5342) "Netzer, Netser or Naytser” - Greenness, a shoot, figuratively a descendant- Branch /Wiki- Netzarim, twigs that shoot off from a branch of a tree (Hebrew from the root "neitzer" (נצר) meaning "a shoot"). From the Hebrew (#5341) root "Natzar"- to guard, in a good sense (to protect, maintain, obey...) or a bad one (to conceal, ...): besieged, hidden thing, keep Exodus 34:7 (er, ing), monument, observe, preserve (r), subtil, watcher (man). (Now if you go back to Isaiah 11:1 you will see Matt. 2:23)"

Enemies of the Netzarim were known to give them condescending names (much like Catholics call non-catholic Christians "protestants"). Many of the derogatory titles given to the Netzarim were given to them by those who embraced man's authority over YHWH, when it came to religion. These "Judeans/Jews" often would have seen true instruments of the Ruach Hakodesh to be threats to their social status and way of life. These serpents used names such as:

"Natsarim" or "Natzarim" (naw-tzarim) w/ the root Natsah- meaning waste (Jeremiah 4:7 / Isaiah 37:26)

It is clear, the word "Christian” was not the earliest term for the followers of HaMashiach, since when reading Acts 11:26 it gives its first use in Antioch. Antioch is a city of ancient Syria. It was founded in 300 BCE by Seleucus I Nicator, a former general of Alexander the Great. Antioch was the center of the Seleucid kingdom until 64 BCE, when it was annexed by Rome and was made the capital of the Roman province of Syria. It became the third largest city of the Roman Empire in size and importance, after Rome and Alexander, and it had magnificent temples, theatres, aqueducts, and baths. The city was one of the earliest centers of Christianity (Eastern Christianity) it was there that the followers of HaMashiach were first called Christians, and the city where it is said Paul made missionary journeys from his headquarters in 47-55 CE. According to Acts 11:25-26, Barnabas, who was from the tribe of Levi Acts 4:36, went to look for Paul in Turkey and they went back to Antioch and assembled themselves with the people there and taught them. So, as we can see, at a time in a place at least 10 or possibly 20 or more years AFTER the death and RESURRECTION of HaMashiach, the word ‘Christian’ was used, that means, if it was 10 to 20 years AFTER his death, then the word Christian was never used by HaMashiach or used to describe those who followed him. Surprisingly the word appears three times in the New Testament (Acts 11:26, Acts 26:28, and 1 Peter 4:16), yet, the New Testament use of this term indicates that it was a term of mockery, a term placed upon followers of HaMashiach by the Greeks. According to a few sources such as:

Wuest's Word Studies in the Greek New Testament it explains, “The name was coined by the pagans of the first century to identify the followers of the Christ from those who worshiped the Roman emperor who was called Caesar."

Mercer Dictionary of the Bible, pg. 142 "It seems wide use of the name did not come into vogue in the empire, however, till the reign of Hadrian (117-138 C.E.) or Antoninus Pius (138-161 C.E.). Pagans, unfamiliar with the confessional title 'Christos (HaMashiach) mistakenly understood it as a proper name."

The New Shaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge confirms true worshipers did not go by the designation Christian: "that it originated outside of Christian and Jewish circles is most likely because (1) Christians spoke of one another as 'the brethren,' 'the saints,' the disciples,’ ‘the faithful,' etc. (2) The Jews used the term ‘NAZARENE’

The term Christian was used by Roman Governor Agrippa in Acts 26:28, who mocked Paul by saying,

"With but a little persuasion you would fain make me a "Christian."

When reading 1 Peter 4:15-16, Peter mentions being labeled a Christian in a list of scornful terms such as: murder, thief, evildoer, busybody and Christian.

Also, when looking deeper into this word, Christian comes from the Greek word Christianos which is the origin of Cretin, when looking up the word Cretin we will see that it means "a stupid person." The root word cretin is the Swiss French word crestin, which comes from the word "Christianum," which means "Christian."

Note: What would Israelites that practice the Torah and follow HaMashiach be doing with a Greek term used by pagans, to label themselves? Why would they search Greco-Roman roots? Would not it make more sense to search for Hebrew origins roots, since they were follower of an Israelite from the tribe of Judah? I bet you said to yourself, “they were not Israelites,” however according to the New Testament they were Israelites:

Was Paul an Israelite? Yes

“I say then, Hath ALHYM cast away his people? ALHYM forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.” Romans 11:1

“Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.” 2 Corinthians 11:22

“Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee.” Philippians 3:5

Was HaMashiach an Israelite? Yes

“And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.” Matthew. 2:23

“For it is evident that HaMashiach sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.” Hebrews 7:14

Was Barnabas an Israelites? Yes

“And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus.” Acts 4:36

So, because it was at least 10 or possibly 20 or more years AFTER the death and RESURRECTION of HaMashiach, that the word ‘Christian’ was used, then the word Christian was never used by HaMashiach or used to describe those who followed him before his resurrection. Due to that reason, we will not referrer to HaMashiach and his followers as Christians. It is only right that we reference them as 'Prophesied'
