In this segment: Chadwick connects Yeshua as the 'author and finisher' of faith in Hebrews 12:2 to His identity as the Aleph and the Tav, asserting that salvation is found only through Him. He explains God's plan of salvation through the Abrahamic, Davidic, and New Covenants, and discusses the ultimate end when Yeshua delivers the kingdom to God the Father, putting an end to all rule and authority.
In Hebrews 12:2, it says, "Looking unto Yeshua, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Amen. Amen. And amen. So again, even in Hebrews, He's talking about the elect and the Tav. Even though He uses "author and finisher," it's really the elect and Tav of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him, He endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of Elohim. Amen. If Yeshua is the Aleph and the Tav, then He is surely the author and finisher of our faith, as He journeyed from the cross to the crown and is sitting at the right hand of Aba Father. He is the way, the truth, and the life. And nobody, again, nobody comes to the Father except through Him. It is written, "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Must be saved. Must be saved. Yeshua the Messiah. At His second coming events, He will bring a fiery Torah, just like we discovered in last week's letter, the Shin, the fiery Torah to send out to the nations so that the entire world will guard, keep, and do His commandments, His ways. After all, the Apostle John emphasizes the profound impact of keeping His commandments, as it hinges upon us receiving the right or inheritance to the New Jerusalem and to the tree of life.
Let's look at what's written again as we revisit this: "Now, it is written, 'And behold, I am coming. I am the Aleph and the Tav, the last. Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to enter the tree of life and may enter through the gates of the city. I, Yeshua, have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and offspring of David.'" The Davidic covenant. Okay. So again, my friends, He makes a couple of things very clear in this. He makes it clear that He is the root and the offspring of David. Why is that important? It is important because the lineage, the pure royal lineage, just like Matthew wrote, the seed of David, and the seed of Abraham. That's why Matthew wrote it, because the same way John wrote it, He's the root and the offspring of David. He had to be to be the Jewish Messiah because of the lineage from David. This is the Davidic covenant. David was going to have a fruit of his womb, the seed of David, that was going to rule over David's throne, over the promised land of the Abrahamic covenant, over the people that are believers, Jew and Gentile. That's why it's important, friends, to really understand these covenants. Every video that we do, we mention three important things: calendar, feast days, covenants. If we understand that, we're going to understand these things. But that's what He's going off of. He wants everybody to know that He is the offspring of David. He's the seed of David. That's why Matthew wrote it, the first sentence of the New Testament, the first sentence: the seed of David, the seed of Abraham, for everybody to understand that He is the fulfillment of the Davidic covenant. And He's going to be the fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant. Why? Because He is the New Covenant, right? So, He is the New Covenant. He's the Abrahamic and the Davidic covenant. And He will fulfill all three of those completely at His second coming events and throughout His millennial kingdom. He has to do that. No choice but to do that. Must do it. And He will do it. Just like the scriptures say. That's what Mary was told by Gabriel with Luke 1:31-36. Gabriel told her exactly that: He will be the Son of the Most High, Son of God. He will inherit the throne of his father, the Davidic covenant. And He will rule over the people on the land, the Abrahamic covenant. And His kingdom, there will be no end, which is the New Covenant. So, right when Gabriel came down, right at the beginning of Yeshua's conception to Mary, that's what He told her, that that was His position. That was His commission. Why? Because it's God's plan of creation, plan of salvation. God's plan of salvation is the Abrahamic, the Davidic, and the New Covenant. Again, if Christianity would understand the trajectory of the covenants, covenant theology, we wouldn't be in replacement theology, with the church replacing Israel and all this blasphemy. So, we have to really understand that all throughout the Bible is very consistent. And our Savior ends with His angel telling John to please record, "I am the root and the offspring of David." And my friends, if we don't understand that, we've got to go get more educated so that we can understand the paramount significance of what He said.
He says He's coming quickly, His reward is with Him to give everyone according to the works that we do for the kingdom on this earth. "I am the Aleph and the Tav, the last. Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to enter the tree of life and may enter through the gates of the city." And it continues to say, "Outside are the dogs, the Gentiles who are disobedient, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, and anyone and everyone who practices falsehood." So again, my friends, very important for both Jews and Christians to realize what Yeshua truly said just in that one chapter, Revelation 22. Go read John 14:15 with it, and one should understand how paramount it is to keep the Father's commandments according to Yeshua. The Father and the Son will be in alignment together. Of course, we know that. But Christians really need to understand that with the commandments. Yeshua didn't tell everybody to go be rebellious. He said, "Be in alignment. If you love Me, keep My Father's commandments. And if you don't, you don't, you know, with the Father." Very, very clear.
After Messiah declared He is the Aleph and the Tav, John testifies that the believers who keep His commandments will have the right to the tree of life and enter the gates of the New Jerusalem. This is a wonderful and beautiful meditation as we will reach our final destination, the ark of God, eternal life. Saha. Therefore, while we're here on this earth, let us work out our salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. In other words, until Yeshua exclaims for the final time, "It is finished," let us try our best to follow His commandments and work out our salvation. In doing so, He will bring us nearer and nearer to Him, closer and closer, and we will be more intimate with Him than ever before, and we will walk in the Spirit side by side in unison with Him as we follow our Master. It is written, "But thanks be to God that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and having been set free from sin, having become servants of righteousness." Amen.
This is what our spiritual purification journey has been all about: setting apart ourselves on Yah's divine appointments, times, seasons, letters, constellations, tribes, numbers, and so forth and so on. Basically, drawing nearer to Him concerning the intimate things that He has ordained, commanded, and desired for all of His people, you and me. It is purifying, cleansing, refining ourselves in His ways to set apart ourselves, understanding His symbolic nature of letters, maturing our faith, and elevating our intimacy with our Creator like we have never done before. It is a divine, righteous, and sovereign connection through Yeshua and the blessed Holy Spirit to Aba Father. Without question, He is the Tav who will fulfill and complete all things, every jot and title written in the Torah and in the Prophets. 1 Corinthians 15:24-28: "Then comes the end, the Tav, when Yeshua delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and authority and power. For He must reign, the millennial kingdom, a thousand years. Revelation 20: He must reign till He puts all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For He has put all things under His feet. But when He says all things are put under Him, it is evident that He who puts all things under Him is excepted. Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all."
