The book known as the Bible is the story of a family, a chosen and elected family. We can chart this family’s genealogical line which is clearly traced throughout the Bible’s pages from Genesis to Revelation.
It started with the man Adam in a garden called Eden that the Creator YHWH placed him in to keep and to guard. Adam had a son named Seth, and from Seth came Noah, and from Noah, a man named Abram. Abram’s name was changed to Abraham, and from his grandson Jacob came what is known as the twelve tribes of Yisrayl. Yisrayl became a great nation, and the Almighty calls them His chosen people:
“For you are a set-apart people to YHWH your Mighty One, and YHWH has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a treasured possession above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.” Deuteronomy 14:2
YHWH made very special Covenants with Yisrayl in both the New and Old Testaments. It speaks of the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31-34. The Covenant with the Almighty was not with Christianity, nor was it with any other family line, nationality or race of peoples on the earth, only with those who descended through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and his progeny. This is reiterated in Hebrews 8:8-10.
But how can this be, one may ask; did not Messiah come for the entire world, all peoples, regardless of their genealogy or lineage? Take a moment to step back from all we have heard and from all that we have been taught, and let us ask a serious question. A question we need to take time to soberly ponder here and now:
• What is our final authority for what we call truth? We claim it’s the Scriptures, but is it?
• What is the measuring stick we use to determine what a deception is, and what is a fact?
Have we become so comfortable in our belief structures that anything outside our box of what is familiar is ‘false teaching’?
