Jeremiah 31:22-23

ECB ²² How long go you about, O you apostate daughter? for Yah Veh creates newness in the earth; a female surrounds the mighty. ²³ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El: They still say this word in the land of Yah Hudah and in the cities, when I restore their captivity; Yah Veh bless you, O habitation of rest of justness, mountain of holiness. 

We see the exact same Hebrew word translated as ‘earth’ in verse 22 is translated as ‘land’ in verse 23. It’s not a capital E earth. That proper name for our planet did not exist then. Earth and land are the same word in Hebrew. The new creation came from the earth of Judah. A female virgin named Mary gave embodiment to the master there. The only begotten son of Yahweh took on a flesh body under old covenant law. That itself had never happened before, so it was new, but the new covenant creation, by the same Holy Spirit that impregnated Mary, was the Holy Spirit resurrection of humanity, on their national birthday. This woman of Judah named Mary is in stark contrast to the two adulterous woman referenced earlier by Jeremiah. The kingdom had split into two sisters. The body of Israel was already divorced and Judah had become even worse.

Jeremiah 3:11

ECB ¹¹ And Yah Veh says to me, The apostate Yisra El justifies her soul more than Yah Hudah who deals covertly.

Jeremiah 3:6-10

CLV ⁶ And Yahweh said unto me, in the days of Josiah the king, `Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She is going on every high mountain, and unto the place of every green tree, and commits fornication there.” ⁷ And I say, after her doing all these, Unto Me you do turn back, and she has not turned back, and see [it] does her treacherous sister Judah.” ⁸ And I see when (for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery) I have sent her away, and I give the bill of her divorce unto her, that treacherous Judah her sister has not feared, and goes and commits fornication–she also.” ⁹And it has come to pass, from the vileness of her fornication, that the land is defiled, and she commits fornication with stone and with wood.” ¹⁰ And even in all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned back unto Me with all her heart, but with falsehood, an affirmation of Yahweh.'”

Jeremiah 31:24-27

ECB ²⁴ And settling in Yah Hudah and in all the cities together are cultivators (farmers) and they who go forth with droves (shepherds). ²⁵ For I satiate the languid soul, and I fill full every languishing soul. ²⁶ On this I waken, and see; and my sleep pleases me.

After 70 years of exile, cultivators and shepherds of Judah returned to the land, even though they were no better than Israel, maybe even worse. Back in the land, the languishing soul of humanity was telosed by Yeshua, who sent forth the new humanity from Judah in Jerusalem. The new humanity not only went to Israel in diaspora, but to the nations as well. The lost tribes of Israel had been cultivating and shepherding the Gentiles in their through-seeded outposts of humanity called synagogues. These dream visions were yet future to Jeremiah, who lets us know he is dreaming. The new covenant of course came to the Hebrews in the first century. Jeremiah tells us that it is a pleasant dream he was having for the renewal of humanity.

 ²⁷ Behold, days come, – an oracle of Yah Veh that I seed the house of Yisra El and the house of Yah Hudah with the seed of humanity and with the seed of animal.

But of course it isn’t until human Peter is given a vision of the old creation animals also entering the new creation that the Holy Spirit adds them to the first spiritual resurrection of the body, as was anticipated by Jeremiah. Seed (meaning offspring) from all creations were added to the new covenant body, represented by Peter himself in his very personal vision.

Acts 10:11-12

ECB ¹¹ and he observes the heavens open; and a vessel descends on him as a mega linen bound at the four beginnings, and lowers to the earth: } ¹² wherein are all quadrepeds of the earth and beasts and creepers and flyers of the heavens:

The present active Greek word that is translated ‘descends’ in Acts 10:11 is also in Revelation 21:2. Peter nor John were said to be asleep like Daniel when they saw their visions. Peter was seeing a biblical form of literature fulfilled by way of some altered state of mind; some kind of day dream. It was literaturely not ‘literally’ the original animal creations he saw who were about to be entering his new covenant body, unless you believe, as some do, that when a Jewish prophet named Jonah warned the Assyrian city of Nineveh that destruction was coming, that even the biological cows fasted and repented in sackcloth and ashes.

Like the new covenant Jews awaiting the destruction of Jerusalem, old covenant Jonah had reason to want to see the city of Nineveh destroyed. The Ninevites were diaspora humans from the tower of Babel dispersion. In the 8th century before Christ, the Ninevites were oppressing God’s old covenant people, who were brought into the typical promised land by the typical Joshua. John the baptist preached repentance to the remnant of Jews who were back in the land; who would accept their messiah. Jesus preached destruction to the first century Jews who wouldn’t believe and instead became the oppressors of the Hebrew believers. According to our new covenant calendar, that oppression and destruction were in the first century of the year of the Lord.

The prophet John of Revelation was not said to be asleep when he saw his vision, but was in the Spirit/spirit, peering into the spiritual realm of happenings. It was communicated to him in an apocalyptic format that the believing Jews like himself could comprehend. Like Peter and Daniel, John also saw events happening literaturely. How else could an earthling peer into the heavenly realm?

The first century new creation came out of heaven in keeping with the new firstborn human who came out of heaven. Adam came out of the land of animals to become the first creation humanity. Yeshua came out of heaven to become the new creation humanity. Like the old humans, the old animal creations were made clean in heaven, by the new man who was back in heaven, when Peter had his vision. Jesus was actually said to be in heaven while still on the earth. At His ascension, He returned to the glory he had before becoming a man.

John 3:13

ECB ¹³ And no one ascends to the heavens, except whoever descends from the heavens – even the Son of humanity who is in the heavens.

Gentiles had been cultivated by the Hebrews in diaspora (through-seeding) for hundreds of years before the the gospel of new creation arrived. The same Yeshua who gave the born again Jews a clean consciousness also made born again Gentiles clean, from heaven. The Gentile consciousness had been awakened by fallen law-mode Hebrews. It wasn’t made clean by the old creation Hebrews. The clean human consciousness returned to heaven as the head of the new body. As in Adam, the head is first and then the body follows. All in the new body became clean according to the head.

Revelation 21:2

ECB ²
THE NEW YERU SHALEM 
And I Yahn see the holy city – new Yeru Shalem descending from Elohim from the heavens prepared as a bride adorned for her man.

The spiritual (born from above) city of Jerusalem was prepared in heaven and is kept incorruptible in heaven. It is the dwelling place of the new creation bride of the second humanity. The concurrent first century city of old Jerusalem was the most corrupt generation ever. Can anything worse ever be done than what that perverse generation did on God’s land? AD 70 Judgement came to Jerusalem due to the murder of their messiah. There will never be a more severe day of judgement, because nothing worse will ever happen. After murdering the messiah they tried to murder His betrothed bride too; their own flesh and blood. Jerusalem became a ‘living’ hell on earth before it’s annihilation in AD 70. It was a captive place of torment.

Daniel 8:17

LITV ¹⁷ And he came beside my place. And when he came, I feared and fell on my face. But he said to me, O son of man, understand, for the vision is for the time of the end.

Daniel was told to seal his vision until the time of the end. John was not to seal his vision because it was the time of the end. If first century believers did not understand the meaning, then it was of no use to them. In the end, old covenant Jerusalem was destroyed, and new covenant Jerusalem took it’s place.

Daniel 12:4

CLV ⁴ Now you Daniel, stop up the words and seal the scroll till the era of the end, when many will swerve as evil will increase.”

Daniel 12:10

LITV ¹⁰ Many shall be purified and made white and tested. But the wicked shall do wickedly. And not one of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.

Revelation 22:10-11

YLT ¹⁰ And he saith to me, `Thou mayest not seal the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is nigh; ¹¹ he who is unrighteous—let him be unrighteous still, and he who is filthy—let him be filthy still, and he who is righteous—let him be declared righteous still, and he who is sanctified—let him be sanctified still:

Matthew 10:34-39

³⁴ Presume not that I come to put shalom on land: I come not to put shalom – but a sword. ³⁵ For I come to alienate a human against his father and the daughter against her mother and the bride against her mother in law: ³⁶ and the foes of a human are they of his own household. ³⁷ Whoever befriends father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and whoever befriends son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me: ³⁸ and whoever takes not his stake and follows after me is not worthy of me. ³⁹
THE SOUL 
Whoever finds his soul loses it; and whoever loses his soul for my sake finds it:

Jeremiah 31:28-34

ECB ²⁸ And so be it, as I watched over them to uproot and to break down and to demolish and to destroy and to vilify, thus I watch over them to build and to plant – an oracle of Yah Veh. ²⁹ In those days, they say no more, The fathers eat sour grapes, and the teeth of the sons are dull. ³⁰ But every man dies for his own perversity: all humanity who eat the sour grape, dulls his teeth. 

Sour grapes are like lemons. They make tooth enamel sensitive. If you suck on lemons all day it will eventually eat the enamel off your teeth. Anger also makes the body acidic. Some Jews in the land wanted military conquest rather than spiritual conquest. They lost their covenant position with Yahweh by insisting on keeping their unripe fruit of types. Jesus divided families by those for and against His new covenant. Everyone in the families of first century Jerusalem made their own choice of whether or not to enter the new covenant. Even love for flesh and blood family members could not trump the new creation family.

³¹YAH VEH CUTS A NEW COVENANT 
Behold, days come, – an oracle of Yah Veh that I cut a new covenant with the house of Yisra El and with the house of Yah Hudah: ³² not according to the covenant I cut with their fathers in the day I held them by the hand to bring them from the land of Misrayim – my covenant which they broke, although I was their master – an oracle of Yah Veh: ³³ For this is the covenant I cut with the house of Yisra El: After those days, – an oracle of Yah Veh I give my torah in their inwards and inscribe it in their hearts; and I become their Elohim and they become my people: ³⁴ and no more teaches every man his friend, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yah Veh! For they all know me – from the least of them to the greatest of them – an oracle of Yah Veh for I forgive their perversity and I remember their sin no more.

In the old covenant the Holy Spirit came upon certain individuals in order to proclaim the one true God to the nation. In the new covenant everyone has the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:16

LITV ¹⁶ The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God.

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

LITV ²³ And may the God of peace Himself fully sanctify you, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁴ He who calls you is faithful, who also will perform it .

Jeremiah 31:35-40

ECB ³⁵ Thus says Yah Veh who gives the sun for a light by day and the statutes of the moon and of the stars for a light by night: who splits the sea when the waves roar; Yah Veh Sabaoth is his name: ³⁶ If those statutes depart from my face – an oracle of Yah Veh then the seed of Yisra El also shabbathizes from being a goyim at my face all days. ³⁷Thus says Yah Veh: If you measure the heavens above, and probe the foundations of the earth below, I also spurn all the seed of Yisra El for all they worked – an oracle of Yah Veh. 

Jerusalem is no longer in the typical mode of tracking the days of the week and the year in order to keep the festivals. After 70 years, the new city of peace reached the never ending day of the Lord. Jerusalem means “city of shalom”. 70 years represents sabbath rest for the rebellious land. The new city is pictured without a temple and without night and without seas. I am tempted to take all that literaturley rather than ‘literally’. The seas represent Jew/Gentile division. The night represents the old covenant itself on it’s way to the full light of the never ending sabbath day of the Lord. Daniel dreamed in the dark. John was day dreaming in the illuminating Spirit. The old temple represented separation from God and fear of death in His presence. The new city is the temple and the people are the temple. That is where we live; in God’s presence. Yeshua completed the sixth eschatological day of human creation. We are no longer in the land of works mode that works death.

³⁸ THE NEW CITY 
Behold, days come, – an oracle of Yah Veh that the city to Yah Veh is built from the tower of Hanan El to the portal of the corner: ³⁹ and the measuring line goes forth in front of it to the hill Gareb; and surrounds Goah. ⁴⁰ And the whole valley of the carcases and of the fat and all the fields to the wadi of Qidron to the corner of the horse portal toward the rising are holy to Yah Veh – neither uprooted nor thrown down any more eternally.

Hanan El means God is gracious. To the corner gate means all the way to the end or enter by way of the cornerstone. One possible location for Gareb is rejected because it is inconceivable that the city could extend that far. The word Garab means ‘scabby’, which may render it to be ‘the hill of lepers’. Goah is ‘the hill of death’ often associated with Golgatha where Yeshua took their death. The valley of Hinnon is the valley where unclaimed bodies were thrown to burn and where the leftovers from burnt offerings were thrown, hence the fat and ashes. It was the lowest and most defiled place in the land. The fields of the wadi of Kidron contained cemeteries of people who could afford a proper burial. The horse gate was the gate of royalty that led to the King’s Garden and the tomb of David and to the tombs of the king’s descendants.

Acts 2:29

ECB ²⁹ Men and brothers, allow me to boldly say to you concerning the patriarch David – that he is both dead and entombed and his tomb is with us to this day.

1 Peter 1:1-4

CLV ¹ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen expatriates of the dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, the province of Asia, and Bithynia, ² according to the foreknowledge of God, the Father, in holiness of spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied to you!” ³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who, according to His vast mercy, regenerates us into a living expectation, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among the dead, ⁴ for the enjoyment of an allotment incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, kept in the heavens for you,

One difference between city described by Ezekiel and the new Jerusalem is the dimensions. The New Jerusalem of Rev. 21 is 1000 times bigger. New Jerusalem in Revelation is of such gigantic proportions that it can not ‘literally’ be on this earth, but it comes down literaturely from heaven onto the new covenant earth. It is the new covenant land, which is in the spirit realm. It’s where you live forever. Outside the spiritual city of Jerusalem are dogs…literaturely. New Jerusalem gets it’s name from the heavenly Jerusalem of Revelation, not the old covenant Jerusalem of Ezekiel. It is heaven extending to earth. It is heaven on earth. Angels have bodies we cant see because they live in that spiritual realm of heaven; literally. Those who stayed in old Jerusalem died to the age.

Matthew 18:21-22

ECB ²¹
THE PARABLE ON FORGIVENESS 
Then Petros comes to him, saying, Adonay, how often sins my brother to me, and I forgive him? Until seven times? ²² Yah Shua words to him, I word not to you, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

At 490 years came the AD 70 destruction of Peter’s brethren who continued to not only reject their new covenant messiah but kept persecuting the new covenant Jews. God gave them seventy times seven years, which is 490 years of patient mercy as a period for repentance and forgiveness. The 490 years were especially assigned to the Jews with respect to their role as God’s chosen people who refused to be chosen.

Daniel 9:24

ECB ²⁴
THE VISION OF THE SEVENTY WEEKS  (70 times 7)
Seventy weeks are cut on your people and on your holy city to restrain the rebellion and to seal up sins and to kapar/atone for perversity and to bring in eternal justness and to seal up the vision and the prophet and to anoint the holy of holies.

The real Holy of Holies is heavenly Jerusalem. There is no temple there because the cube shaped city is the temple. It is a place regarded as most sacred and special. It is where God’s spiritual presence is granted to all His people. That parousia was preliminarily granted to Jews on their Pentecost betrothal in Jerusalem and consummated at the 490 year culmination wedding in AD 70. Or the wedding may have been 3 years prior to AD 70. The destruction of Jerusalem began in the spring of AD 67. Since Yeshua was probably born in 3.5 BC., that would make Him 70 years old in the fall of AD 67. Just in time to bring the old humanity of Adam and Israel to the 1000 years age on His birthday. The 1000 year Jubilee of the nation was in the fall too; after all the festivals were put to rest. That was 6 months after Yeshua sent the judgement of war to the old city. John the baptist also preceded Jesus by 6 months in order to prepare the way. The armies gathering around the city was the final warning for His people to get out. The flesh and blood mode was about to be cut off.

Romans 8:9

CLV ⁹ Yet you are not in flesh, but in spirit, if so be that God’s spirit is making its home in you. Now if anyone has not Christ’s spirit, this one is not His.”

Yeshua prepared the new Jerusalem as a place for His true people to live in His presence before He destroyed the old. We know the national birthday gift on Pentecost was the Holy Spirit. Yeshua’s birthday party may have been the 7-8 day marriage celebration that began on the first day of tabernacles. His Father present-ed the made new covenant people to Him. The destruction of Jerusalem may be represented by the 8th day after Jesus’ birth. That day of circumcision was the cutting off of the flesh from the body of Christ. 8th day circumcision typically portrayed a new covenant creation to the Hebrews. But even that typical new creation came out of the already existing body by removing the flesh. The Hebrews who had the Holy Spirit were not in the flesh. The Holy Spirit was preparing the Hebrews for that day when their flesh and blood mode was typically destroyed for the second time. The Holy Spirit Hebrews already sacrificed their flesh mode, so the second death would not harm them. For those Hebrews in the first spiritual resurrection, the second death had no power. Those Jews however who were in their second typical bodily resurrection and remained in works mode, were judged to second death. All 12 tribes originally went through the first typical re-generation prior to entering the land the first time. The second typical regeneration wasn’t going as well.

It is not from physical sleepiness nor is it physical darkness that Paul calls the Ephesians to rise out of. He calls them to rise out of the old covenant dead ones and into the new covenant. Even though it was the old covenant dead ones in diaspora who pre-evangelized the Gentiles, the dawning of the body of Christ was the one and only true and effective wake up call for all God’s people. The Satan that promised Eve that she wouldn’t die but would be woke, held the unbelievers captive to the darkness over the land. The enlightened new covenant land rose out of the dark-loving old covenant land.

Isaiah 60:1-3

¹ Arise, be enlightened; for your light has come, and the glory of Yahweh has risen on you! ² For behold, the darkness shall cover the land, and murkiness the peoples. But Yahweh shall rise on you, and His glory shall be seen on you. ³ And nations shall walk to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawning.

¹⁰ Yah Shua answers him, saying, You are a teacher of of Israel, and you are not knowing? ¹¹ Amen! Amen! I say to you, We speak which we know, and witness what we see; and you don’t accept our witness: ¹² if I tell you of things on land, and you don’t believe, how will you believe, when I tell you about the heavenly things? ¹³ And no one ascends to the heavens, except the one who descends out of the heavens – even the Son of humanity who is in the heavens. ¹⁴And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of humanity be lifted up, ¹⁵ so that whoever trusts in him destructs not, but has life to the age. ¹⁶ For God loved the orderly arrangement thus: that he gave his only begotten Son; that whoever trusts in him destructs not but has life to the age. ¹⁷ For God did not apostolize his Son into the orderly arrangement to judge the system; but that the system be saved through him. ¹⁸ Whoever trusts in him is not judged; but whoever trusts not is already judged: because he trusts not in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment: light comes into the orderly arrangement, but ‘humanity’ loved the darkness rather than light because their works are evil. ²⁰ For everyone practicing evil hates the light; and comes not to the light lest his deeds be exposed:  ²¹ Now the one doing the truth is coming toward the light that his deeds may be shown, for they have been wrought in God.

God saved humanity out of humanity. Saved humanity is new covenant humanity. It is the real enlightenment that gives a good conscience. The resurrected body of Christ has eternal life. The old man was put to death.

JUSTIFICATION AND LIFE THROUGH YAH SHUA MESSIAH 
But not as the downfall, thus also the charisma. For if through the downfall of one many die, much more the charism of Elohim and the gratuity in charism of one human, Yah Shua Messiah superabounds to many. ¹⁶ And not as through one who sinned, thus the gratuity: for the judgment indeed was by one to condemnation, but the charisma is of many downfalls to justification. ¹⁷ For if by the downfall of one death reigns through one; much more they who take a superabundance of charism and of the gratuity of justness reign in life through one, Yah Shua Messiah. ¹⁸ Thus as through one downfall all humanity is unto condemnation; even thus through one justification all humanity is unto justification of life. ¹⁹ For exactly as through the disobedience of one human many were seated sinners, thus through the obedience of one many are seated just. ²⁰ And the torah entered surreptitiously, so that the downfall superabound: and where sin superabounded, charism exceedingly superabounded: ²¹ so that exactly as sin reigned in death, even thus charism reigns through justness unto eternal life through Yah Shua Messiah our Adonay.

Grace reigned to the telos of the 1000 year age of Adam and Israel. They were both resurrected into the new spiritual creation prior to the end of the flesh and blood mode of Adam and Israel. If they didn’t get spiritual they were not God’s people.

Romans 8:9
