COMMENTARY - ENDNOTES
5361
The blood of YHWH-Eloah is a reference to His deity.
5362
All kinds, but in specific context, anti-Yahshua missionaries.
5363
According to Scripture (First Kings 9:27-28) and history, the Phoenicians were Yisraelites as far back as the days
of king Solomon. These Phoenician city-states helped build YHWH’s Temple and later traveled the world with their
fleets. According to many they had even reached North America, with Phoenician inscriptions having been verified
there. The Phoenician and Hebrew alphabets are virtually identical.
5364
Are you ready to die for the kiddushat hashem, or the set-apartness of the Name Yahweh?
5365
This is a reference to Devarim/Deuteronomy 33:17, where Yisrael was prophesied to become the tens of
thousands of Efrayim-Yisrael and the thousands of Manasseh. Many of these settled amongst Judah, and along with
Jewish-Yisrael, loved Yahshua and His Torah.
5366
Paul taught and performed circumcision as seen in Acts 16:1. What he did not allow was immediate circumcision
to those coming to faith, as the first step in that return, but postponed it to be one of the last steps.
5367
This is a test by the elders designed to do three things. First, to see if Paul objects. If so, they’ll know that the
accusations are true. Secondly, this Torah command is designed to be a witness to other Jews, that the accusation
is a lie. Thirdly, it is a command to the poor brothers, and they can receive assistance in ending their vow. If there
ever was a time, or place, or an opportunity for Paul to refuse to perform this Torah command, or to tell the elders
that they were wrong, or any other such thing, this was his big chance. He had the attention of the entire believing
Jewish leadership, as well as the leaders of unbelieving Judah. But as seen a couple of verses later, he did obey,
and did show the world for all times, that he did and taught the Torah, but just didn’t do it in the way the Pharisees
demanded that he do it.
5368
See notes on Acts 15:19-21.
5369
Returning Efrayimites who were despised in their return.
5370
Symbolically Paul who was carrying the burden, or captivity of both houses of Yisrael upon his arms, as he later
admits (Acts 28:20) that it is for the hope and restoration of all Yisrael’s 12 tribes that he is in the chains.
5371
Jewish-Yisrael.
5372
Not just to pagans, but all men filling the nations.
5373
First-century Yisraelites did not go to Sunday church and neither should we.
5374
To all Yisraelite nations, or Efrayim.
5375
The crowd wanted him dead, for he had the nerve to go out and bring Efrayim home to be equal heirs in Yisrael.
When they heard of YHWH’s love for the nations, they lost control. The same attitude sadly holds true today in both
believing and non-believing Judah.
5376
An obvious reference to his bad eyesight.
5377
Two-house reference.
5378
Yisraelite believers were first called Notsrim, a fulfillment of the prophecies that YHWH would save a preserved
handful of remnant Yisraelites. The terms “preserved” and “watchmen,” depending on the context in the First
Covenant, both mean Notsrim. Since today Notsrim in Hebrew means Christian, and since neither the true firstcentury
disciples nor the modern Nazarenes care to be lumped in with that term as it is used today, it may indeed be
preferable to use Netsarim. Netsarim means branches, seeing that we are the true branches of the Vine, who
Scripture tells us is Yahshua our King.
5379
Both traditional Judaism and Christianity will always consider Nazarene Yisraelites heretics. Even pagans will
see fit to pass some kind of judgment.
5380
The believers’ hope is the resurrection, not a myth called a rapture.
5381
If you are living a daily Nazarene Yisraelite lifestyle, many will have questions and take issue with your “new”
style of worship.
5382
The promises were made to all twelve tribes, and Paul states plainly that he has this hope of the resurrection of
the dead for all twelve tribes defining his faith and his mission. The twelve tribes are found today in both houses of
Yisrael.
5383
Apparently Yahshua still doesn’t speak Greek.
5384
Judah.
5385
Efrayim.
5386
Two-house reference.
5387
Two-house reference.
5388
Peshitta. Paul did not travel on Yom Kippur.
5389
Paul's ministry to the nations was for the hope of the restoration, regathering, and homecoming of all Yisraelites
and never to establish a separate non-Yisraelite entity.
5390
Both houses.
5391
Nazarene Yisraelites remain a sect of Hebraic faith and not a separate “gentile” entity.
5392
Being a Torah-keeping Nazarene Yisraelite will cause your enemies to multiply.
5393
Notice that the message remains the same. It is the message of the kingdom, spoken of by Yahshua as being
restored through Him, and all the Scriptures speak of this kingdom.
5394
Both houses of Yisrael have the same problem. A refusal to repent and seek truth from bondage and error.
