COMMISSION AT THE

ASCENSION

(6) They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? (7) And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority. (8) But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (9) And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. (10) And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold two men stood by them in white apparel; (11) who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven. Acts 1:6-11 ASV

And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. Mark 7:7 EMTV

WHERE CAN WE FIND OUT ALL ABOUT JESUS?

You search the Scriptures, for you think in them you have everlasting life.

And they are the ones witnessing concerning Me. John 5:39 LITV. Luke 24:44

Jesus Christ is YHWH

JESUS SENT THE

TORAH OUT OF ZION

(1) But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto it. (2) And many nations shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem; Micah 4:1-2 ASV There is an important aspect of the grand commission of the Apostles that is perhaps overlooked or unknown to modern evangelists of all denominations. The understanding of the philosophy of the commission of the Apostles will guide many who can hear the voice of Jesus in the ever- changing faces of the Christian denominations. What is the philosophy of the grand commission? The philosophy is not new because it is the core Judaism as entrusted to Moses and the Prophets who were sent to enforce Moses whenever the chosen people turned their back to God to go astray. Whenever they went astray, the Prophets came out with warnings of the impending imposition of the curses spoken of in the Torah if the chosen people fail to keep its commandments. It is to understand that the Torah is immutable no matter where we may find ourselves. The immutability of the Torah is the underpinning philosophy I have hinted to. Wherever on the globe the Bible is studied, the philosophy remains that nothing can be appended to or removed from the the Old Testament (Moses or Torah and the other books), unless it is something that had been fulfilled by Jesus (Matthew 5:17-18). In the past, today, and tomorrow, no one has the authority to change or to add anything in the Torah (Law, Old Testament), whether it was Moses, the Priests, the Kings. We read that the aliens or the pagan citizens who converted to Judaism were to obey the whole Torah just as the Israelites. (13) every native doth thus with these, at bringing near a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah; (14) and when a sojourner sojourneth with you, or whoso is in your midst to your generations, and he hath made a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah, as ye do so he doth. (15) `One statute is for you of the congregation and for the sojourner who is sojourning, a statute age-during to your generations: as ye are so is the sojourner before Jehovah; (16) one law and one ordinance is to you and to the sojourner who is sojourning with you.' Num- bers 15:13-16 YLT Since the Torah or the Old Testament is eternal, as decreed by Jesus in Matthew 5:17-18, no group of believers from the past, today, and tomorrow, may discard any unfulfilled commandment of the Torah (the Law), under any misguided pretense that such and such commandment of the Torah was for the Israelites or the Jews. That immutability and universality of the Law (the Torah) is reiterated by the declarations of Jesus that we read in Isaiah 56:1-8 and Matthew 5:15-17.

THE GREAT COMMISSION

“ (18) And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. (19) Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, bap- tizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: (20) teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
