What a beautiful passage concerning Y’shua!
Romans 10:1. My Brothers, The desire of my heart, and
my intercession with Elohim for them is that they might have life. 2. For I bear them witness that there is in
them a zeal for Elohim; but it is not according to knowledge. 3. For they do not know the righteousness of
Elohim, but seek to establish their own righteousness: and therefore they have
not submitted themselves to the righteousness of Elohim.
4. For Mashiyach is the goal[1] of Torah for righteousness
to everyone that believes in him. 5. For
Moshe describes the righteousness which is by Torah, this way: Whoever will do
these things will live by them. 6. But
the righteousness which is by faith, says thus: You will not say in your heart,
Who ascends to heaven and brings Mashiyach down? 7. Or, Who descends to the abyss of Sheol and
brings up Mashiyach from the house of the dead?
8. But what says it? The thing is near to your mouth
and to your heart: that is, the Word of Faith which we declare. 9. And if you will confess with your mouth
our Master Y’shua, and will believe with your heart that Elohim has raised him
from the dead, you will live. 10. For
the heart that believes in him is made righteous; and the mouth that confess
him is restored to life.
11. For the Scripture says: Everyone that believes in
him will not be ashamed. 12. And in
this, it discriminates neither Jews nor Gentiles. For there is one, Master YHWH,[2]
over them all, who is abundantly generous towards every one that calls on him. 13. For everyone that will call on the name
of Master YHWH,[3] will have life. (AENT)
FOOTNOTES:
[1] See
1 Timothy 1:5 and Eighteen New Testament Misconceptions #8: End of the Torah
in Appendix.
[2] The first time in this Epistle where YHWH
(MarYah) is used instead of Elohim/Eloah. This verse indicates the ONENESS of
the Malchut Elohim. ONE YHWH, One
Kingship and One People. This is a continuum; NOT a drastic change in Covenant,
but a renewal of YHWH’s people unto Himself.
[3] MarYah,
as opposed to the Greek kurios, can only refer to YHWH, giving
Aramaic a huge interpretive advantage.
It is a critical fact, as is pointed out here, that Rav Shaul
specifically tells believers to call on the name of YHWH, which
is certainly not at all represented by the name “Jesus.” John 17:11 tells us that the name of Y’shua
is of the name YHWH.
Before Rav Shaul came to believe, Y’shua had already
ascended to the Right Hand of YHWH (Revelation 19:13). Prayer was being offered unto YHWH in the
name of Y’shua. Y’shua stated that his mission was to bring glory to His Father
YHWH. Y’shua’s name (YHWH is
salvation) is accomplishing the salvation of YHWH. It was also prophetic that the Gentiles would
come to know the Name of YHWH, according to Jeremiah 16:19-21:
“O YHWH, my strength, and my fortress, and
my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto you from the
ends of the earth and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies,
vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them
to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know
that my name is YHWH.”
And, of course, this is to be done according to the
Perfect work of Mashiyach!
Thanks Sister Shali. You'll never get anything clearer than this passage concerning Y'shua. I hope that Rabbi Tovia Singer will turn around and repent so that he can see who truly Y'shua is. Shalom.
