IN EPHESIANS CHAPTER 3 WE FIND ITS TITLE “THE MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL REVEALED”
AT FIRST GLANCE IT MAY SEEM THAT BY READING CHAPTER 3 OF EPHESIANS, IT GIVES US THE REVEALED ANSWERS TO THE MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL. UPON A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT SHAUL IS TELLING US ON THIS PASSAGE, ITS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS… AT FIRST IT SEEMS THAT THE ANSWER LAYS IN VERSE 5 AND 6 WHERE IT MENTIONS ABOUT, “THE GENTILES BECOMING FELLOWHEIRS AND OF THE SAME BODY AND PARTAKERS OF HIS PROMISE…” “WHICH IN OTHER AGES IT WAS NOT MADE KNOWN UNTO THE SONS OF MEN AS IT IS NOW REVEALED UNTO HIS HOLY APOSTLES AND PROPHETS BY THE SPIRIT…..”
ID LIKE TO DIFFER ON THIS POINT, AS WE READ ON VERSE 9 TOUCHES A PARTICULAR TOPIC, IN THAT IT MENTIONS THE FOLLOWING, “AND TO MAKE ALL MEN SEE WHAT IS THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY, WHICH FROM THE BEGGINING OF THE WORLD HATH BEEN HID IN YAHUAH, WHO CREATED ALL THINGS BY YAHUSHUA HAMASHIACH..” AT FIRST GLANCE IT SEEMS THAT IT SEEMS THAT VERSE 5 & 6 IS REVEALING TO US THE MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL… ALTHOUGH UPON A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS PASSAGE IN CHAPTER 3 OF EPHESIANS, WE STUMBLE UPON VERSE 9, “TO MAKE ALL MEN SEE” IN ORDER TO SEE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SOMETHING TANGIBLE, SOMETHING WE CAN ALL LOOK AT WITH SUBSTANCE AND MATTER…
IN THIS MYSTERY WE HAVE A FELLOWSHIP, AND IN THIS FELLOWSHIP WE FIND WHICH FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD (GENESIS 1:1) IT WAS HIDDEN IN YAHUAH, WHO CREATED ALL THINGS BY YAHUSHUA HAMASHAICH!
FOR THIS WE HAVE TO LOOK AT GENESIS 1:1 AND JOHN 1:1, BUT BEFORE WE GO THERE I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU A LITTLE BIT OF HEBREW REGARDING THE TITLE OF CHAPTER 3 OF EPEHSIANS… THE MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL REVEALED… IF I WERE TO TRANSLATE THAT INTO HEBREW IT WOULD THEN SAY, “ SOD LA BESORAH GALAH” THE WORD FOR GOSPEL IS BESORAH.. JUST LIKE GOOD NEWS OR ANYTYPE OF NEWS YOU NEED A MESSENGER FOR THAT NEWS AND THAT WORD IS MAVASAR. MAVASAR IS THE WORD FOR THE HEROLD OR MESSENGER, IN GREEK WE KNOW IT AS EVANGELIST, PREACHER, ETC.. ISAIAH 52:7 MENTIONS HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THE MAVASAR (MESSENGER) THAT BRINGS FORTH GOOD NEWS! YOU SEE BESORAH OR THE GOSPEL WAS A NEWS BUT A NEWS OF NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE. IT WAS ANNOUNCING A VICTORY IN A BATTLE, OR THE END OF A WAR OR A NEWS OF A NEW KING THAT HAD TAKEN POWER OVER A NATION.
BESORAH THE GOSPEL WAS THEN DELIVERED BY A PERSON CALLED OR NAMED THE MAVASAR.. THESE BOTH WORDS HAVE ONE WORD IN COMMON.. THAT ROOT WORD AND BASE WORD IS BASAR. BASAR IS THE WORD TRANSLATED TO FLESH WE SEE THAT IN GENESIS 2:21-24 WHERE YAHUAH TELLS ADAM AND EVE THAT THEY ARE TO BECOME ONE BASAR (FLESH) NOTE: THIS IS BEFORE THE GREAT FALL OF MAN. THE GOSPEL STATES THE GOOD NEWS, NEWS OF VICTORY, THAT ITS PROCLAMATION IS “THEY SHALL BE ONE FLESH.” YAHUAHS GOSPEL STATES THE VERY WAY THAT WE BECOME CONNECTED WITH HIM IS THAT NOTHING SEPARATES US, EVER!
THE WORD BESORAH IS SPELLED OUT IN HEBREW WITH THE LETTER BET, SHIN, VAV, RESH, HEI EACH LETTER CARRYS A MEANING AND A NUMBER TO IT. THE VERY WORD EXPRESSES THAT THE HOUSE BEING PROTECTED AND SECURED BY THE BEGINNING REVELATION OF THIS GOOD NEWS. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME WE FIND THIS BESORA IN BARASHIT (THE BEGINNING) GENESIS 1:1 AND JOHN 1:1 TELLS US A GREAT SECRET A GREAT REMEZ! Ephesians 3 verse 9 the phrase “which from the beginning of the world” takes us to genesis 1:1 in Hebrew we can see what john 1:1 says , in the beginning was the word and the word was with yahuah and the word is yahuah. This word is only revealed in Hebrew when you read Genesis 1:1 “bereshit bara Elohim et (את) hashamayim vet haeretz”… the fourth word is et the alef and tav the beginning and the end.. the first and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet. This 7 word sentence is the very first sentence in the torah.
the alef tav (את) hidden and revealed only in the Hebrew, is the very word that was in the beginning with yahuah and the word is yahuah. With this word or language (Hebrew) yahuah was able to speak everything into existence!! “ let there be light” etc… this word alef tav (את) which was hidden from the beginning of the world was also used to create all things. According to john 1:14 this word was made flesh and we saw his glory… john 1:3 says that through this word this alef tav (את) all things were created and made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made.. and the alef tav (את) was made basar!! (Flesh!!) that perfect flesh John 1:13 says that this flesh (basar) was born not of blood nor will of the flesh nor of that will of man but of yahuah! That’s how messiah was conceived. This word was made flesh , that’s what is part of the mystery of the gospel and how it is being revealed. The great mystery is that the word or yahuah was made flesh and dwelt amongst us!
Prophecies from long ago that he himself would leave his habitation and dwell in the midst of his people! (Israel) Zechariah 2:11-13 “also mentions that many nations or goy aka gentiles shall be joined to yahuah in that day and yahuah will dwell in the midst of thee…” verse 13 says he would be raised up out of his holy habitation!! This declaring that yahuah would leave his throne and come down to dwell in the midst of us and we will know that yahuah tsebaot (of hosts) was sent unto us!
Ephesians 3:1-13 deals with the “mystery of the gospel being revealed”. Yet verses 14-21 deals with the “ prayer for spiritual strength.” 8 verses on prayer and 13 on the mystery of the gospel being revealed. I want to make emphasis on verses 17,18 and 19… verse 17 mentions that messiah yahushua may dwell in our hearts by faith that we being rooted and grounded in love…. The holy scriptures state that yahuah or god is love… in that same track of thought the sages agree on one thing, how do we sum the whole holy scriptures in one word? The answer to that question is love! Ahava! Interestingly in Hebrew love is ahava and ahava is the same as echad or one! Alef hey bet hey equals 13 echad alef Chet resh equals 13 as well… giving each word the same Hebrew numeric value.
god is not only love but he is one. The shema states it in Deuteronomy 33:5 that yahuah is echad, he is one god is one! If yahuah (god) is love, so is he one! 1st corinthians 3:3 states the following, “ make it clear that you are a letter from messiah placed in our care, written not with ink but by the spirit of the living yahuah, not on tablets of stone but on human hearts!”
Ezekiel 11:19 declares “ i will give them a unity of heart, i will put a new spirit among you, i will remove form their bodies the hearts of stone and give them hearts of flesh.”
Ezekiel 36:26 “ i will give you a new heart and put a new spirit inside you, i will take the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh! Basar! Here we see that word flesh like in Ezekiel 11:19 that word basar in Hebrew once again!
Jeremiah 33:33 says , :” but this shall be the covenant that i will make with the house of Israel after those days smith yahuah; i will put my law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts; and will be their Elohim and they shall be my people!
Hebrews 8:10 “ for this is the covenant that i will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith yahuah, i will put my laws into their mind and write them in their hearts: and i will be to them their Elohim and they shall be to me a people! ( a people = singular not plural) echad!
All verses up top state that he will write in our hearts his law his torah! Torah = love yahuah=love
Matthew 24:12 says, “ because of lawlessness (Torah less) will abound, the love of many will growl cold.”
Because of torah less people their love has grown cold….
1 john 4:16 says this, “ and we have known and believed the love that yahuah hath to us. Yahuah is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in yahuah, and yahuah in him.”
If we live in love he dwells in us just like his Torah. In fact he is the living Torah!!
Psalms 119:1 “blessed are the undefiled in the way who walk in the torah of yahuah.”
torah is the way
psalms 119:142 “thy rightousness is an everlasting rightouseness, and thy Torah is the truth.”
Torah is the truth
Deuteronomy 32:46-47 “ and he said unto them, set your hearts unto all the words which i testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do all the words of this torah… for it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land whither ye go over Jordan to posses it. “
Torah is life
john 14:6 “yahushua said unto him, i am the way,, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me.”
yahushua hamashiach is the living Torah! If the tanakh (Old Testament) states that the Torah is the way the truth and life and the brith chadashah (renewed testament) states messiah himself that he is the way the truth and the life, then he is stating that he is the living Torah! The Torah in the flesh.. the word in the flesh! The alef tav (את) in the flesh. Yahuah in the flesh!!!!
1 Timothy 3:16 “ and without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: yahuah was manifest in the flesh
(basar) Justified in the spirit, seen of angels., preached unto the gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory!”
Great is the mystery of godliness , yahuah manifested in the flesh! The BESORAH is based on basar the gospel is based on the flesh! The mystery is reveled in the alelf tav the word manifesting itself in the flesh, and the word was made flesh and dwelt (tabernacled) (sukkoth) among us and we beheld the glory!!!
Verse 18 of Ephesians 3 Yahushua love has breadth (width) we can see it in his holy scriptures it carry’s much weight his love towards us! John 3:16
his love has length , it continues forever!
his love has height, it carries our spirit upward!
his love has depth, it goes deep and it meets anyone even in the most dire distress and or depression!
Verse 19 of Ephesians 3 his love surpasess all understanding all knowledge! Let us be filled with all the fullness of yahuah!!! Amein!!!
