COMMENTARY - ENDNOTES
5752
Circumcision is good after faith comes and after a slow progressive incorporation back into Torah life. To start a
believer who had been wandering the nations for 721 years with circumcision, is the heresy proclaimed by the
Jerusalem Council and rebuked by Paul in Galatians.
5753
The word for uncircumcision is akrobustia, meaning “tossed-away foreskins,” or those once Yisrael, previously
confirmed by circumcision. Those who have now tossed it all away, including their obedience to Torah, and their
precious heritage to become mixed with and become one flesh with the nations. This term appears throughout the
Renewed Covenant when speaking of returning Efrayim-Yisrael. If these were true pagans in Rome, the Greek word
to be used would be the word aperitome, or the negation of the word peritome (Strong’s Greek # 4061) for
circumcision. This unique term gives us great insight that these were the lost sheep of Yisrael, the akrobustia and
not the aperitome, or true pagans, that had never been circumcised. This word was put into the inspiration of
Scripture, to differentiate between the "tossed away foreskinned ones," as opposed to the never-circumcised
pagans. Even Greek scholars are stumped by this unique and unusual term, and cannot explain how and why it
appears throughout Scripture. But with a proper two-house understanding, it makes perfect sense.
5754
Akrobustia is always a reference to Efrayim-Yisrael, who tossed away their rights and their benefits of belonging
to the circumcision, or to the people of historic Yisrael.
5755
If returning Efrayim guards Torah, won't YHWH accept them back?
5756
Execute and perform. Strong’s Greek #5055 teleo.
5757
This does not mean that the real Jews are now the Christians. It means that a real Jew will have both the heart
circumcision and the flesh circumcision, and the akrobustia, or returning Efrayimite will also have both. In this way
all are equal in Yisrael having both the physical and spiritual circumcision in place. If either one is missing, then that
person cannot be part of the true Yisrael of YHWH, despite their boasting.
5758
Aramaic Peshitta.
5759
By Messiah.
5760
Paul never taught, or allowed Torah-less living among his students, and those who accused him of such things
were liars, as there remain many of those same liars today.
5761
A sober warning to all who insist that the Pauline epistles negate Torah for all believers.
5762
Both Torah-keepers and those who don’t obey Torah are all guilty before YHWH.
5763
Faith in Messiah is spoken of in Torah. Yet eternal life needs to be received apart from Torah, by an open heart to
His corporal reality.
5764
No difference between both houses and pagans. All need Yahshua and Torah, and all receive Yahshua apart from
Torah, by an expression, or exercise of personal trust.
5765
Will religion ever get this right? Faith in Yahshua brings us back home and establishes Torah.
5766
Father of all Yisraelite nations.
5767
He was saved by faith in the promise of physical multiplicity. If he is our father of faith, we must believe exactly
what he believed. That Yisrael would become more than the sand of the sea and more than the dust of the earth and
spread out to many nations.
5768
Some two-house critics use this single verse as some sort of alleged proof text, attempting to negate all other
clear akrobustia references to Efrayim, by stating that Abraham was not an Efrayimite. They claim that because
YHWH still called him akrobustia, then akrobustia cannot mean “tossed-away foreskins,” but simply means “never
uncircumcised.” The problem with that is that through their ignorance, they forgot that as a descendant of Noah who
knew right from wrong (i.e., Torah principles), paganism had set into the family – even into Abraham’s father Terah
and all in his house. Therefore from YHWH’s point of view, Abraham’s house had tossed away all the truth and setapartness
of Noah and his son Shem, and thereby the act, or covenant of circumcision was tossed away by
Abraham’s house, only to again be renewed with Abraham. YHWH knowing that Abraham’s ancestors had become
akrobustia, applies this term to Abraham before the renewal of the rite, as opposed to using the word aperitome,
which would have meant that all of Abraham's ancestors were pagans and had no Torah knowledge.
5769
He was the father through Isaac and Jacob of both houses. Of the Jews, by being the father of the circumcised
and of the akrobustia Efrayimites who are returning, by being himself a returnee - a crossover - or one who ev-ers as
a returning Hebrew. In Hebrew, one who crosses over is called an Ivri. Ivri comes from the root word ev-er meaning
“to cross over to truth from paganism.” So both before and after his circumcision, he still fathered one of the two
houses of Yisrael, despite one being circumcised and the other akrobustia, since he at one time was both. YHWH
accepted him in both states, even as He accepts both houses in their wanderings and their unfaithfulness, in their
return through Messiah.
5770
Judah in first-century terms.
5771
Efrayim-Yisrael who shares the patriarchs with Jewish-Yisrael. This applies physically as well as spiritually.
5772
All of these chosen nations were to come through Jacob. Ishmael and Esau were never promised to birth nations
but only a single great nation.
5773
Fill the world with his seed through Jacob.
5774
Aramaic Peshitta.
5775
Note: Before we were circumcised as an act of obedience.
5776
Both houses were restored even while in sin and of course we as individuals as well.
