Life Is In The BLOOD 

The remainder of our journey will be enlightening to those who
can and do have a personal relationship with יהוה יהושע in both
obedience to Scripture, and a heart felt desire to know Him by
name, and by intent to be in complete submission to His Purpose
forever. We cannot come part way. When the last and final day
comes, in the blink of an eye, we will pass from time into
eternity and there will be no baggage allowed.

We are here under the Cover of His Atoning Sacrifice,
Or we will be there in judgment.

We are walking with יהושע יהוה - Yahoshua YHVH through The Feasts That HE Kept, reported in the Good
News of Yohanan (John).

The very next Feast is John 10:22. The KJV has it, And it
was at Jerusalem the feast of dedication, and it was winter.

'The Scriptures' records it, At that time the Hanukkah
came to be in Yerushalayim, and it was winter.

The Feast of dedication is Hanukkah, and comes around the end
of the pagan year, near and at times on the Pagan Christ-Mass.
In short Hanukkah - Festival of Lights, Observes the rededication of the Temple after the Greek ruler Antiochus IV desecrated the Temple by slaughtering a pig on the alter and erecting a statue of their god Zeus on Dec 25-rebirth of the sun god, around 167 BCE. Three years later, the Maccabees (Hasmoneans) led by Yahudah Maccabee conquered Judea from the rule of the Seleucids-Syrian rulers who supported the spread of Greek Religion and culture. Antiochus proclaimed himself a god and took on the name Epiphanes--God Manifest.

Flavius Josephus who is a first century historian and lived during
the time of the Apostles recorded the events of that time this way.

Antiquities of the Jews, Book 12, Chapter 5.
And when the king had built an idol alter upon God's Alter, he
slew swine upon it, and so offered a sacrifice neither according to the law, or the Jewish Religious worship in that country. He also compelled them to forsake the worship which they paid their own God, and to adore those whom he took to be gods; and made
them build temples and raise idol alters, in every city and village, and offer swine upon them every day (254). He also commanded them not to circumcise their sons, and threatened to punish any to be found to have transgressed his injunction. He also appointed overseers, who should compel them to do as he commanded (255). And indeed many Jews there were who complied with the kings commands either voluntarily, or out of fear of penalty that was
denounced; but the best men, and those of the noblest souls, did not regard him, but did pay a greater respect to the customs of their country then concern as to the punishment which he threatened to the disobedient; on which account they every day
underwent great miseries and bitter torments (256.) For they were whipped with rods and their bodies were torn to pieces, and were crucified while still alive and breathed: they also strangled those women and their sons whom they had circumcised, as the king had appointed, hanging their sons about their necks as they were upon the crosses. And if there were any sacred book of the law found, it was destroyed; and those with whom they were found miserably perished also.

Three years after the Temple was desecrated,
Yahudah Maccabee, Leader of the small group of Hasmoneans,
employed guerrilla warfare. The Syrians were driven out and the
Temple was returned to the Jews, and the task of purifying The
Temple began. The Eight Days of Hanukkah, Commemorate the
Eight days that the Temple Menorah gave light with only one day
supply of oil. This Miracle could have come from only one place,
the Throne Room. The Light of the Menorah is the symbol of
The Sh'chinah Glory of יהוה and His eternal Word Dwelling
among men. The rededication happened on the 25th day of
Kislev, as did the desecration three years earlier.

One is the celebration of coming out of paganism,
the other is the celebration of going into paganism.

The Festival of Lights is the celebration of rededication and
coming out from under the pagan practices of the heathen. The
Pagan December 25, rebirth of the sun gods, is the celebration
of going into paganism. One worships the Creator of the universe:
The other worships the god of forces, the rulers of darkness,
and idolatry. Yahoshua attended Hanukkah although it is not a
required feast, witnessed by many and reported in John 10:22.
יהושע honored Hanukkah then, as He honored The First
Hanukkah two centuries earlier with the Miracle of the oil.

John 12:1 Accordingly, יהושע, Six days before the
Passover, came to Beyth Anyan, where El'azar was
who had died, whom He raised from the dead.

John 13:1 And before the Festival of the Passover,
יהושע knowing that His hour had come, that
He should move out of this world unto the Father,
having loved them to the end.

This brings us to the events that led to יהושע Being
Sacrificed at the hands of the Roman guards. Verse 2
reports that supper was taking place. Remembering the
previous verse that it is before the Passover, we can see
that this was not a representation of the Passover Seder,
but it was The Last Supper.

John 13:2 And supper taking place, the devil having already
put it into the heart of Yahudah (Judas)....to deliver Him up.

But His taught ones thought it was
Because Judas had the money bag,
That he was going to buy something.

Not an action that יהושע would have even suggested at a
Passover Meal. Also, had this Meal been a Passover, the
Passover Sacrifice would have already taken place. This was the day of Preparation.

John 14:1-4,
Let not your heart be troubled. Believe in Elohim,
believe Also in Me. In My Fathers house are
many staying places. And if not, I would have
told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if
I go to prepare a place for you, I shall come
again and receive you to Myself,
that where I am, you might be too.
And where I go you know.

What you have just read is
The Renewed Covenant.

The Renewed (New) Covenant was given to Yisra'el,
'I Am sent only for the lose sheep of the
house of Yisra'el,' said יהושע,
Makes obvious The Renewed Covenant was not given to
'The Church.' Although many in 'The Church' are Israel, 'Not all who say they are Yisra'el are Yisra'el.'

John 14:18 If you love Me you shall guard My Commands,

 and I shall ask the Father, and He shall give you another Helper,
to stay with you forever -- the Spirit of the Truth, whom the
world is unable to receive, because it does not see Him or
know Him. But you know Him, for He stays with you and shall be
in you. I shall not leave you orphans -- I am coming to you.

Who is sending the Helper - The Comforter?

For I do nothing on My own initiative,
the Father within Me, He does all the Works.

I shall not leave you orphans -- I am coming to you.

Who Is The Father,
The Son,
Ruach HaKodesh (Set Apart Spirit, Helper, Comforter)?

"I shall not leave you orphans -- I am coming to you."

How many does it take to occupy the Throne?

"I shall not leave you orphans -- I am coming to you."

Whom is coming?

יהושע יהוה - Yahoshua YHVH

How many Is He?

This should be getting easy by now.

2 Cor 5:14-17
For the love of Messiah compels us, having judged this: that if
one died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those
who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who
died for them, and was raised. So from now onwards we know
no one according to the flesh. And if we have known Messiah
according to the flesh, yet now we no longer know Him Thus.

He has become renewed!

Where is He today?

Back on the Throne That He left To come and make us whole.

What is His Name?

יהוה

Shemot 3:15,
This is the way you are to remember Me
throughout your generations.

John 10:30
I and My Father are One.

Zekaryah 14:9
And יהוה shall be sovereign over all the earth. In that
day there shall be one יהוה, and His Name One.

Yeshayahu 42:8
I Am יהוה, that is My name, and My esteem I do
not give to another, nor My praise to idols.

Yeshayahu 43:3
For I Am יהוה your Elohim, the set apart
One of Israel, your Saviour.

Yeshayahu 43:10-11
Before Me there was no El formed, nor after Me there is none.
I Am יהוה, and besides Me there is no saviour.

Yeshayahu 48:12
Listen to Me, O Ya'aqov, and Israel, My Called:
I am He, I am the First, I am the Last

Yeshayahu 46:23
I have sworn by Myself....to Me every knee shall bow...

Yeshayahu 44:24
I Am יהוה, doing all, stretching out the heavens all alone,
spreading out the earth, with none beside Me.

Yeshayahu 44:6
I Am the First and I Am the Last,
besides Me there is no Elohim.

Yeshayahu 45:18
I am יהוה and there is none else.

Yeshayahu 45:21
Is it not I, יהוה? And there is no mighty one besides Me,
a righteous El and a Saviour, there is none besides Me.

My purpose here is to present the Scriptures.
How one receives Them is between he and his Creator.
Regardless of ones opinion, the Word will not fail. We are
here for His Good Pleasure. Accept or not, The Word is eternal
and will not change according to our personal whims. We stand
before יהושע יהוה alone. No man can speak for us. We believe
or not according to the Spirit that dwells within us.
Ourselves giving witness that we are or are not sons according
to the Promise. Our works give us away.
A Tree is known by its fruit.
Nothing is done in secret.
Everything is visible when exposed to The Light.
