COMMENTARY - ENDNOTES
5861 Spain and Rome were both areas of known prophetic Yisraelite migration as found in Obadiah 1:20. Paul always
was out in the nations, looking for the lost sheep of the house of Yisrael.
5862 Both houses should take good care of each other.
5863 Junia was a female apostle in Yisrael apparently physically related to Paul.
5864 All Yisraelite nations, or all nations that house Yisraelites.
FIRST CORINTHIANS
5865
Eidta-In the original Aramaic. All of Paul’s letters to congregations use this word, the Aramaic cognate of the
Hebrew edah used throughout the First Covenant, displaying that Paul knew that these were Yisraelite groups in
exile.
5866
Two-House reference.
5867
Two-House reference.
5868
The power and wisdom to save individuals, and regather both houses through Messiah.
5869
The congregation is the rebuilt Tabernacle of Dawid the true building of YHWH, and the very field He purchased
in Matthew 13.
5870
Yisrael must be rebuilt according to First Covenant pattern, with Messiah being the Head Corner Stone.
5871
The rebuilding of Yisrael and restoration of the exiles cannot be built by any man, or religion that omits the
foundation and Chief Corner Stone the Messiah Yahshua. Unlike some who teach otherwise, Scripture indicates that
both houses cannot truly come together without a heartfelt faith in Yahshua as the promised King Messiah. Any
other building plan results in leaning, or crumbling towers without a strong foundation.
5872
Judgment.
5873
Individually and collectively we are the temple of His dwelling.
5874
Imitators not followers.
5875
Note the difference between believers in Yisrael’s commonwealth, as opposed to the true gentiles, or the pagans.
The unfortunate term “saved gentile” is and always will be an oxymoron.
5876
A term for excommunication, which is an eternal Torah principle of dealing with improper, or unclean conduct.
5877
Note that this Efrayimite, non-Jewish, congregation guarded the feast as an eternal order from YHWH. All
believers in all ages are expected and commanded to keep YHWH’s feasts. This is not a reference to the cheap
substitute of manmade communion. This is the real thing.
5878
Only and solely by the word of YHWH, not based on hearsay, allegation, or emotional likes and dislikes.
5879
These prohibitions and warnings are straight out of Torah, and are being restated to these troubled and
confused Yisraelites.
5880
Speaking of gray areas not forbidden in Torah, but that do not serve his inner man, or his spiritual growth.
5881
These are spiritual unseen laws at work in the heavens. If the house has one believing spouse, the likelihood for
the other spouse to be saved, as well as the children, are increased greatly. Set-apart means they are under a
spiritual covering, with a great advantage and head start in coming to eternal life. That motive alone should cause
many unequally yoked relationships to consider staying the course.
5882
It is essential to go to the Greek here for exact clarification. The word for circumcision meaning Yisraelites is
peritemno (Strong’s Greek # 4059), a form of peritome meaning “circumcised.” Let that Yisraelite already
circumcised, walk in Yahshua and not seek uncircumcision, or epispaomai. This is a very rare word for
uncircumcised which usually appears as akrobustia, or aperitome. This word comes from the days of Antiochus
Epiphanes, when Jewish Yisraelite men hid, or concealed their circumcision in order to be considered Greek. So in
essence, Paul states that all Corinthian Yisraelites must not be ashamed, or try and hide their Yisraelite roots and
heritage in Messiah. And finally, the last word used here for “uncircumcised,” as in a person who is uncircumcised
is the word akrobustia. Akrobustia means “tossed-away-foreskinned ones,” thereby alluding to Efrayim (the
northern kingdom) who had been circumcised only to toss it all away to paganism. These returning Efrayimites
should not seek another circumcision now since they were circumcised before breaking the Torah. These are the
plain and literal understandings. The overriding theme in this verse as with the verses on marriage, being single,
and divorce, is that whatever state one is in as a believing Nazarene Yisraelite, one should remain in that calling,
without seeking another’s status, or another’s calling.
5883
Peritome and akrobustia - a clear two-house reference in the Greek.
5884
The keeping of Torah is the main thing for all believers. This declaration is not in opposition to circumcision.
Rather it is simple kal vachomer – meaning if one thing like circumcision is an important issue, then how much more
the keeping of all the commands of Torah, which includes circumcision. So circumcision is a waste of time if your
life is not in obedience to Torah. For example, this is like someone who seeks circumcision, only to continue to
celebrate pagan days like Christmas. Only within a Torah framework does circumcision matter at all. That is exactly
what is being expressed here.
5885
This is exactly how Yahshua was able to remarry Yisrael by becoming the dead Husband, freeing Yisrael to
remarry her new resurrected Husband and Master. The Husband was new, and the bride was made a new creation as
well by Yahshua’s death, making both Yahshua and Yisrael eligible to remarry each other in holiness. For more
