The Acts Of The Sent Ones Chapter 1

The Acts Of The Sent Ones = Maaseh Shlichim – Chapter 1

 

A historical book used to record the transition between the Jewish dispensation and the ‘New Yisrael’ church.

 

1 The first scroll have I made, O Theophilos, {1 Luke 1:3} of all that יהושע {Yahshua/ Yeshua/Jeshua (Jesus)} began both to do and teach,
2 Until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Ruach Hakodesh had given His Torah to the shlichim whom He had chosen:
3 To whom also He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen by them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the malchut of יהוה {Jehovah}.4 And, as He ate lechem together with them, {2 Aramaic Peshitta.}
He commanded them that they should not depart from Yahrushalayim, but wait for the Promise of Abba, which, He said, you have heard from Me.
5 For Yochanan ha Matbeel truly immersed with mayim;
but you shall be immersed with the Ruach Hakodesh not many days from now.
6 When they therefore had come together, they asked Him, saying, Master, will You at this time restore again the malchut to Yisrael? {3 When there is togetherness in believing Yisrael, the main concern will be the restoration and regathering of the two houses. These folks hardly agreed on anything, but with one accord were concerned that Yahshua was returning to the Father without Efrayim and Judah first being joined again as one in YHWH’s hand. This question set in a future tense, is valid and ample evidence that the restoration was paramount in Yahshua’s ministry, and moreover had never fully taken place previously, at the time of the Jews’ return from Babylonian exile, nor in Hezekiah, or Josiah’s days, as some erroneously claim.}
7 And He said to them, It is not for you to know the times, or the moadim, which Abba has put under His own authority. {4 Yahshua answered them in the future tense in verses 7-8, illustrating that His Father had not yet revealed the exact future timing of the full restoration to anyone. The question posed by the disciples and Messiah’s answer, forever dismisses any attempt to contrive, or fabricate some supposedly well-known, past reunion of the two houses, five hundred years before  Yahshua came in the flesh.
8 But you shall receive power, after the Ruach Hakodesh has come upon you: and you shall be witnesses to Me both in Yahrushalayim, and in all Yahudah, and in Shomron, and to the four corners of the olam. {5 Note the plan for regathering Yisrael clearly outlined. In context, this commission is given in response to the disciples’ question on how to restore Yisrael.  He told them that they could not know when it would be fully accomplished, but He told them the method by which it would come to pass. He sent them out to all Yisrael, both in Judea, in Samaria and the entire world. There is only one Great Commission, not three. In all three areas, lost sheep of Yisrael are to be found.}
9 And when He had spoken these things, while they looked, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked steadfastly toward the shamayim as He went up, see, two men stood by them in
white apparel; {1 In context, one messenger representing both houses that would be coming together by the proclaiming of
the Good News.}
11 Who also said, You men of Galil, why do you stand gazing up into the shamayim? This same יהושע {Yahshua/ Yeshua/Jeshua (Jesus)}, who is taken up from you into the shamayim, shall so come in like manner as you have seen Him go into the shamayim. {2 Physically, bodily and back to the Mt. of Olives.}
12 Then they returned to Yahrushalayim from the har called Olives, which is from Yahrushalayim a Shabbat day’s journey.
{3 As determined by the Sanhedrin of that day. This concept became part of the Jewish oral law.}
13 And when they came back, they went up into an upper room, where there were staying Kepha, and Yaakov, and Yochanan, and Andri, Philip, and Toma, Bartholomi, and Mattityahu, Yaakov the son of Alphai, and Shimon the Zealot, and Yahudah the brother of Yaakov.
14 These all continued with one accord in the tefillot and supplication, {4 The upper room was the place where the prayer meeting of the leaders of Renewed Covenant Yisrael took place, but was not the place where the Spirit fell. The error of superimposing this prayer venue onto and into the events of chapter 2 has resulted in untold horror, tragedy and error, as seen in the alleged birth of a so-called gentile church.}
with the women, and Miryam the eema of יהושע {Yahshua/Jeshua}, and with His brothers.

15 And in those days Kepha stood up in the midst of the talmidim – the number of names together were about a hundred twenty – and said,
16 Men and Yisraelite brothers, this Katuv had to have been fulfilled, which the Ruach Hakodesh by the mouth of Dawid spoke before concerning Yahudah, who was a guide to them that took יהוה.
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this service.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling head first, he burst open in the middle, and all his intestines gushed out.
19 And it was known to all the dwellers at Yahrushalayim; so that field is called in their own language, Akel-Dahma, that is to say, The Field of Dahm.
20 For it is written in the Scroll of Tehillim, Let his dwelling be desolate, and let no man dwell in it: and let his office of service be given to another.
21 It is therefore necessary that one of these men who have been with us all the time that the Savior יהושע {Yahshua/ Jeshua} went in and out among us, 22 Beginning from the mikvah of Yochanan ha Matbeel, to the same day that He was taken up from us, one must be ordained to be a witness with us of His resurrection.

23 And they appointed two, Yoseph called Bar-Nava, who was surnamed Justus, and Mattityahu.
24 And they made tefillah, and said, You, Master יהוה{Jehovah} who knows the levim of all men, show which of these two
You have chosen, {5 They prayed and asked simply because there weretwelve disciples from each of the twelve tribes ordained for kingdom rulership, and the one that needed to be chosen was one who was first and foremost faithful and also one who would be from the same tribe that Judas was from. Only YHWH knew that for certain.}

25 That he may take part of this service and calling, from which Yahudah by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. {6 As opposed to a faithful Yisraelite, who is said to be gathered to his people.}
26 And they gave out their lots; and the lot fell upon Mattityahu; and he was numbered with the eleven shlichim.

  The Bible does not command us to wear a unique prayer shawl or tallit. Instead, it presumes that people wore a garment of some type to cover themselves and instructs them to add fringes (tzitzit) to the 4 corners of these (Numbers 15:38, Deuteronomy 22:12).

  it is the Greek name or title of “Christ” in place of the Hebrew name, “Messiah” that is the very “name of blasphemy” of Revelations 13:1. Therefore, it is the name, Ihsous or Ihseus Christos, which became, in English, Jesus Christ, which was substituted by Greek and Latin Interpreters in place of the true name, Yahshua, The Messiah, that is “the name and number of a man” who is The Anti-Messiah, and the “name of blasphemy” of Rev 13:1!

  As in the Old Times if individual Jews were to receive Jehovah’s favour and protection, they had to repent and start obeying Him, we too today have to make the right choice and go for Jehovah God. It are we ourselves who have to make up our own mind, like those people in ancient times had also to choose for their false gods or for the One and Only God, Jehovah.

  In order to do God’s will, Jesus his disciples prayed also to Jehovah, like their teacher had showed them how to do: “Grant your slaves to keep speaking your word with all boldness.” What was Jehovah’s immediate response? “The place in which they were gathered together was shaken; and they were one and all filled with the holy spirit and were speaking the word of God with boldness.”
