In this segment: Chadwick defines a tzadik as a righteous person who loves God and keeps His commandments, explaining that God identifies His people through their worship and observance of Shabbat. He stresses the necessity of understanding the Hebrew scriptures to truly present Yeshua and encourages listeners to be tzadikim by standing for God's ways.
A tzadik is a righteous person who loves God, keeps His commandments, and follows Him. It's more than just morality; it's about the ways we worship Him. He identifies His people by Shabbat, a covenant set apart. We are recognized by the ways we worship Him. This is why the people were exiled and destroyed twice – because of their worship. They disregarded these things. He wants us to observe these things so He can say, "That is My people." Without the commandments, feast days, calendar, and appointed times, how does He know we are His people? By observing the blood of Messiah and by observing.
Yeshua said, "Teach them to observe all things that I commanded you." He was talking about the Hebrew scriptures: Torah, Prophets, and Psalms. The New Testament was not written when He said that. To show Yeshua to Jewish people or Gentiles, we must show them through the Torah, Prophets, and Psalms.
We are divided into denominations, thinking we understand, but perhaps we don't. We need to understand the calendar, feast days, covenants, table of nations, and prophecies. We must work out our salvation with fear and trembling, which means being educated and having knowledge. "My people perish for lack of knowledge." We must be observant and have knowledge to share with our brethren.
There is an alignment coming, through the sword, pestilence, and plague. God will put everyone in the pressure cooker to come to the right theology and eschatology so that His bride will be pure. The tzadik is a righteous person.
On this beautiful Shabbat, be a tzadik. Stand up for the Lord and His ways. Those who do are persecuted but receive great rewards in heaven.
Shabbat shalom, everyone. Thank you for joining us. What a beautiful Hebrew letter to go through on Shabbat, Tsade. We are all trying to be tzadikim, righteous people who do righteous acts and charity. We try to be like King David and the prophets who loved God. David made tremendous mistakes but was a great repenter, and God loves a repenting heart. That's why David was given what he was given – a heart after God's own heart.
The tzadikim will be in the Zadok, the priests, in the holy district with Yeshua during the millennial kingdom. The Levites will be outside. We all want to be tzadikim, righteous people before Yah. There are standards, requirements, and prerequisites. It's not just believing in Jesus and doing whatever you want. A tzadik believes in Jesus, is filled with the Holy Spirit, picks up his cross, and follows Him.
Yeshua celebrated Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Hanukkah, Sabbath, and New Moons. He said, "Pick up your cross and follow Me." Christianity today is not picking up their cross and following Him in His ways of worship. It's more than just morality; it's about the ways of worship. He recognizes His people by the ways they worship Him. This is why Israel was exiled and destroyed twice – because of their worship.
We must observe these things for Him so He can say, "That is My people." Without the commandments, feast days, calendar, and appointed times, how does He know? By observing the blood of Messiah and by observing.
We must get serious. Yeshua taught out of the Hebrew scriptures: Torah, Prophets, and Psalms. If we cannot show Yeshua through these, we are not educated enough and are not giving the true testimony of Yeshua. This is why we are divided into denominations.
We must work out our salvation with fear and trembling, meaning being educated and having knowledge. "My people perish for lack of knowledge." We must be observant and have knowledge to share with our brethren.
There is an alignment coming through the sword, pestilence, and plague. God will bring everyone to the right theology and eschatology so His bride will be pure. The tzadik is a righteous person.
On this Shabbat, be a tzadik. Stand up for the Lord and His ways. You will be persecuted, but you will receive great rewards in heaven.
