Introduction to The Hebraic biography of Y'shua

(Tina Meador) #1

All the words for 'waters' and 'seas' are my-yim the same word found for 'seas' in the Creation account of
Psalm 24:2. The firmament separated Man from YHWH. The only One who could do it has breached it.
Words can only begin to express the depth of awe, thanksgiving and gratitude that I have for the Death and
Resurrection of the Son of Man, the Son of YHWH. He has made a way for us to live eternally with YHWH.
May we all follow Him through the Breach into the Kingdom of the Heaven.


Micah 2:12-13 is the background for properly understanding what Y‘shua was teaching that day when He
spoke of the Kingdom. Only by knowing the entire Bible and Hebrew can one hope to understand passages
in the New Covenant like Matt 11:12. Once the enigma is unlocked, the Scriptures open to a beautifully
linked chain of understanding.


In summary


Y‘shua was the Breaker or Poretz, and he came through the opening that he made. Verse 13 is a Hebraic
parallelism – stating the same thing twice, but in different ways. The first part of verse 13 has the 'Breach-
maker' going out of the sheepfold before the sheep. The second part has the King (Y‘shua) passing before
them, saying that it is the Lord (Y‘shua). We know, too, that 'Poretz' or Breach-maker is an ancient biblical
name for King Messiah. Also, no one entered the Kingdom of Y‘shua till after His Death and Resurrection.
Y‘shua Himself says that the Torah and the Prophets were proclaimed till Yochanan; but that with Yochanan,
the Kingdom was now being proclaimed and many were seeking to find out more about it or to be part of it.
Yochanan‘s role was not to make the opening in the Heavenly Fence but to point the Jewish people to the
One who would. As such, Yochanan came in the Spirit of Elijah to prepare the way for the King of Israel, not
to make the breach in the Heavenly Barrier. Yochanan was the Messenger sent to prepare the Way for
Y‘shua (Isaiah 40:3, Mal 4:5-6); but Yochanan was not the Poretz, the Breaker. Y‘shua Himself says that the
least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than Yochanan, so Yochanan cannot be seen as being included in
this conceptual picture. Yochanan dies, but no one enters the Kingdom until Y‘shua's Death and
Resurrection. The Shepherd (Poretz-Breaker) has made the way for His Flock.


I am indebted to Avram Yehoshua for his presentation and for David Bivin of the link between Micah 2:13
and Matt 11:12.


Other violence in the heavenlies


The concept of violence surrounding YHWH's attempts to set up His kingdom on earth is found in the
mystical writings of a Hebrew commentary called the Zohar. The Zohar section below also makes a
connection between this turbulence of the Kingdom and the feast of Rosh Hashana (Feast of Trumpets) with
atonement following on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement).


This parallels Revelation's period of great tribulation that befalls the earth (where Rosh Hashana is YHWH‘s
pattern for the rapture of the Body of Believers in Y‘shua) which activates the violence in the heavenlies. This
is when the Believers travel through satan‘s domain (the Prince of the power of the air – Eph 2:2) to reach
YHWH‘s heaven. This war possibly starts in the beginning of the seven years of tribulation during the rapture
and reaches its climax at the midpoint (Revelation chapter 12). During this period, YHWH executes judgment
on the earth.


Yom Kippur follows, and this is when YHWH‘s people will appear before His throne for their rewards and
atonement is made; while ―blood‖ (judgments in Revelation 8) is poured out onto the earth – in the same
sense as the blood of the atonement sacrifices are poured out at the base of the brazen altar against the
earth. (For a comprehensive study on ―YHWH‘s plan for the ages in the 7 feasts of Leviticus,‖ please see the
product list at the end of the exegesis). Let‘s now look at the Hebrew commentary called the Zohar.


Soncino Zohar, Bereshith, Section 1, Page 174a: ―With Benjamin, the Shekinah was equipped with the full
twelve tribes, and with him the kingdom of heaven began to be made manifest on earth. Now the beginning
of any manifestation is brought about with strain, and involves a doom of death before it can become
established. Here, when the Shekinah was about to assume her rightful place and to take over the house,
the doom fell upon Rachel. Similarly, when the kingdom was about to be made manifest on earth, it
commenced with a judgement, and the kingdom was not established in its place until a doom had fallen upon
Saul, in accordance with his deserts; and only then was it established. It is a general rule that beginnings are
rough, whereas the subsequent course is smooth. Thus, on New Year's day (Rosh-Hashana) the year opens
with severity, as the whole world passes under judgement, each individual according to his deeds, but soon
after comes relief and forgiveness and atonement‖.
