The Testimony of Jesus
(AMP Deut 5:11) You shall not take the Name of the LORD your God in (Vain) to intentionally decieve, to purposely desecrate; destroy; usurp for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His Name in falsehood or without purpose
(¹Strongs G2424) ¹Jesus is Yahshua in Hebrew
Jesus / Yahshua means the Salvation of YHWH and the name YHWH means the Existing One and stems directly from the Hebrew root; I AM.(Exo 3:14-15)
The Testimony of Jesus Name: I AM the Existing One; I AM the Existing One’s Salvation.
Israel’s Generations / Time
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations. (KJV Matthew 1:17)
A Sabbath of Generations: I have divided the (3×14) generations into six periods of seven generations or (6×7). Jesus comes in the 7th generation. (7×7) The Messiah is cut off in the midst of the week. (Daniel 9:24-27) Seventy weeks are determined on your people and on your holy city…And after three score and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off but not for himself and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary… And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week and in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation
Time & Times: My reasoning for this division of the generations into groups of 7 is to illustrate a pattern of time that will repeat in the Church Ages & Seals (Tag 12)
(1st/7 Generations) FAITH & BONDAGE (Abraham to Aram) By Faith Abraham believes God will give him a son in his old age and the land he dwells in will be given to his seed by promise. Jacob’s sons are forced to relocate into Egypt during the seven years of famine and their descendants flourish into the Twelve Tribes but become slaves in Egypt. God uses Moses to plague Pharoah, break his yoke and lead Israel to the promised land. From Faith to Bondage
(2nd/7 Generations) LAW & JUDGES (Amminadab To David) ¹God delivers the Law to Moses on Fiery Mount Sinai. The Law is read to the Congregation and the Tabernacle setup. Israel’s unbelief results in their wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. Eventually they subdue the Seven Nations under Joshua who reads from the Book of the Law before he dies. After a succession of Judges, Israel reject God and so Samuel anoints Saul king in Gilgal (Hos 9:15)
(3rd/7 Generations) KINGS & IDOLS (Solomon to Ozias) David unifies the 12 Tribes but Solomon’s idolatry, see’s Israel divided after his death into the Kingdoms of Judah and Israel. Jeroboam sets up the bulls of Bethel & Dan to prevent Israel returning to Jerusalem. The land collapses into idolatry and God sends Elijah in Ahab’s reign to declare that He is one Lord. From ¹God’s rule to Mans rule
(4th/7 Generations) THE PROPHETS (Joatham-Jeconiah) Jezebel meets her death as foretold by Elijah. The Kingdom of Judah also falls into idolatry due in part to alliances and inter-marriage between the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah. God raises Josiah as prophesied to read the Book of the Law to the people and to purge the land of idols but his death is a precursor to the exile of Judah to Babylon. Israel is already captive in Assyria at this time. True & False Prophets
(5th/7 Generations) DEATH & SCATTERING: (Salathiel to Achim) During this time the Tribes of Israel & Judah are scattered into the Nations of the Babylonians, the Medes and others. As prophesied a remnant return to rebuild the walls and temple at Jerusalem. The Levites read God’s Law on completion and the people take an oath to keep it. Moses foretold this bondage in the Book of Law. Moses Song has been sung to Israel
(6th/7 Generations) REMNANTS & RESTORE: (Eliud to Messiah) Greece as a ‘world’ power rises and falls and in the time of the Roman Empire the Tribes are further scattered throughout the earth. Jewish Pharisee & Sadducee sects flourish and become more active in State affairs. An Herodian dynasty flourishes shortly before the birth of Christ.
(7th/7 Generation ½ a Time) RELEASE & REJECT (Messiah and the Apostles) At birth, the Christ is Named ¹Jesus and the Lord instructs Joseph to go into Egypt. Herod kills all the male children under the age of two in a similar fashion to the destruction of the children in Moses time. When baptized Jesus proceeds to raise and teach the Apostles. Jesus death is demanded by the Jewish religious sects that teach for commandments the traditions of men. Messiah is cut off in the midst of the week
