Truth in Genesis: Misunderstanding salvation, false doctrine of the trinity, the translation error in Matthew 28
From verse fifteen, thru the verse above, Moses is speaking to the people, relating what Yehovah had earlier told him. Specifically, verses 15 and 18 are saying about the same thing. After Israel has established itself in the land, God was going to have a special Prophet born, like unto Moses. That means that the Prophet would be of the tribe of Levi, and would address the spiritual needs of the people. Yehovah was going to speak directly to the people through the mouth of the Prophet.
Except for the “being from the tribe of Levi”, most everyone will easily identify the Prophet as being Yeshua (Jesus). Just like Melchezidik, Yeshua was the Priest of the Most High God. But in order to be a priest, you would have to be of the tribe of Levi (Deut. 18:5). A major reason why the priests and elders of the temple resented Yeshua so much, was because Jesus was only considered to be of the tribe of Judah, the tribe of royalty. They put up with John the Baptist, with his preaching against them, and his baptizing away from the temple and its mikvehs, because the elders knew John was a Levite.
Since Jesus was born of a virgin, He had all of the human characteristics and family linage of His mother. His mother, Mary, was the daughter of a Judean, named Joseph, the twelfth generation from the carrying away into Babylon. That is something that the translators messed up on, in Matthew 1:16. The mother of Mary was a Levite, making Mary half Judean and half Levite. Therefore, Yeshua was mostly Levite, passed down from His grandmother.
How do we know that Yeshua’s grandmother was a Levite? Because Mary and Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, were first cousins. Their mothers were sisters. In order to fulfill the promise made to Moses in Deut. 18:15 -18, Jesus had to be a Levite, in order to become a Priest.
Jesus became the “Priest of the Most High God”, on Tuesday, September 30, 27 AD. According to the Gregorian calendar, Jesus was thirty years and four days old. He was ordained as the “Cohen Gadol” at the transfiguration, on the 10th day of the seventh month, on the day of Atonement.
Just like in Egypt, the Lamb’s blood keeps sinful death away, shed at Passover, and poured down the cross into the crack of the rent rocks and dripped upon the West end of the hidden Ark of the Covenant. His burial in Mt. Moriah signified the unleavened bread. The twenty-four resurrected saints of old signified the First Fruits Offering to God, and the Day of Pentecost was the reenactment of God speaking at Mt. Sinai.
These four Spring feasts brought about our chance for salvation. The remaining three Autumn feasts play a major role in our final disposition, as explained in my next article.
