To fill that added land, people will arrive from all over the world.

"And Jesus hearing this, marvelled; and said to them that followed him: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith in Israel.

And I say to you that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven: But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Mt 8:10-12)

So you go to to Jerusalem three times a year right for those feast ?

Your not keeping them and you are changing the definition of grace.

Since you brought up the book of Hebrew why don’t go ahead and read Hebrews 7 cause that right there explains why you can’t keep them all .

The moral aspect of the Torah is for your own good
Read Matthew chapters 5 through 7 and the moral aspects are in there .
Paul talks about it in Galatians (go back and you will I gave you the scriptures)

Before you keep this up go read Acts 15

Are you trying to prove that you don’t read the word?

Are any of Daniel’s Sabbaths currently running?

We are almost to the end of that parenthetical space in time. It ends at Yom Kippur this year.

Acts 15 says that you are to be in your synagogue hearing Moses read, every sabbath day.

Have you learned Moses yet?

[[Acts 15 says that you are to be in your synagogue hearing Moses read, every sabbath day.]]

(Acts 15:5) But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

(Acts 15:6) And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.

(Acts 15:7) And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

(Acts 15:8) And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;

(Acts 15:9) And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

(Acts 15:10) Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

(Acts 15:11) But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

(Acts 15:12) Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.

(Acts 15:13) And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:

(Acts 15:14) Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

(Acts 15:15) And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

(Acts 15:16) After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

(Acts 15:17) That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.

(Acts 15:18) Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

(Acts 15:19) Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

(Acts 15:20) But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

(Acts 15:21) For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

(Acts 15:22) Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:

(Acts 15:23) And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:

(Acts 15:24) Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

[[Have you learned Moses yet?]]

I probably know the Old Covenant better than you do
I know the New Covenant better than you do too

Why did you leave the main instruction out?

Verse 26 is the main point of the chapter.

Also, the “law” in verse 24 is man’s takanot and Ma’assim. The same burden of the Pahrisees that yeshua spent his entire Earthly ministry demolishing.

Churchians pretend that it is Torah, but verse 26 demolishes that stupidity.

[[Are you trying to prove that you don’t read the word?]]

No but you are .

[[Are any of Daniel’s Sabbaths currently running?]]

They are not running , the 70th week is about to start again.
We are still in the time between.

[[We are almost to the end of that parenthetical space in time. It ends at Yom Kippur this year.
.]]

The 70th week is not ending , it’s restarting .
There is no way to be 100% sure when it is going to restart.

I happen to think it will probably be this year since there is a special sign in the sky for the Jewish people on Yom Teruah the biblical name for Rosh Hashanah. It’s a jubilee year on top of that and things are lining up really fast.

You are making my point keep reading after 26 take a good look at 28 and 29

(Acts 15:26) Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

(Acts 15:27) We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.

(Acts 15:28) For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

(Acts 15:29) That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

You are ether not understanding the Acts, or are hell bent on distorting the message.

I cannot occupy your mind, but I can see the result of the confusion that you post, and it is destructive to the word of Yehova.

The purpose of Acts ch 15 is to give new believers the entry level minimum guidance necessary to keep them out of trouble while they study Torah as the apostles themselves did when they began as children.

Yes, the new converts were adults, but they still had to start as children on what takes a decade to learn when listening to the word of Yehova being read every Sabbath day.

The thorns in their flesh were the Pharisees who taught their own laws in place of Torah. This created the conflict that the council had met to alleviate.

Only the scribes and Pharisees had the Scroll of Torah available to them, so contact with them could not be avoided. Torah had to be learned, and that could only come through hearing it read. (”Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of Yehova”)

One scroll cost a lifetime’s wages to purchase; they didn’t have the Bible book store at the mall to go to, so the synagogue was their only chance at eternal life.

Is this stuff that difficult to grasp?

>> “There is no way to be 100% sure when it is going to restart.” <<

Absolutely false!

Learn the Biblical calendar, and then “Watch” as Yeshua demanded of the seven churches.

Daniel’s 70th Sabbath begins on the Jubilee, this fall.

Watch for the new moon that begins the seventh month, Tishri, and then count the days to Yom Kippur.

That is when all hell will break loose in the land.

What part of walking in the Spirit do you not understand?
If you are walking in the Spirit you not doing things that are against the moral law. You are walking according to God’s heart . If you are actually following Yeshua you are held to a higher standard because you are guilty of breaking if you think about it . It means you have to be constantly repenting and turning around and following him.

All of the law can be summed up in two lines .
Love the Lord your God with all your heart. Love your neighbor as yourself.

It’s impossible to keep the 613 commandments in the Torah without a temple and without being in the land of Israel.
You can not keep the Torah but we do have it for instruction and reproof. You can’t keep the Feast either if you don’t go to Jerusalem three times a year.

I really hope you don’t think you can earn your own righteousness. It is the blood of Yeshua that makes one righteous. If you love him you follow him . It is him that clothes us with the garments of praise.

I think, based on your posts, that you cannot be walking in the spirit.

There is nothing anywhere in scripture that indicates that the spirit of Yehova can communicate with those that reject his commandments out of hand.

See Matthew 7:21-23

Yehova’s anointed preach his Torah; they don't reject it, nor teach others to do so.

Matthew 5:19

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
