a In the Hebrew, “seven” is “sheva”. It is from the root “savah”, “to be full” or “satisfied”, “have enough of”. Accordingly, the meaning of the word “seven” is dominated by this root, for on the seventh day G-d rested from the work of Creation. It was full and complete, good and perfect. Nothing could be added to it or taken from it without marring it. Hence the word “Shavath”,” to cease”, “desist”, “rest”, and “Shabbath, Sabbath”, or “day of rest”. It is seven, therefore, that stamps with perfection and completeness that in connection with which it is used.
bThe Sabbath, according to the sages of Israel, was betrothed unto the people of Israel like a bride unto her bridegroom. And just as a bridegroom is to love and cherish his wife, so shall Israel love and cherish the Sabbath. It is an eternal betrothal, holding the unshakeable hope and promise of a glorious future in G-d’s Kingdom [see THE HIRSCH SIDDUR, by Samson Raphael Hirsch, 1969, Philipp Feldheim, Inc., “The House of the Jewish Book”, 96 E. Broadway, New York, N.Y. 10002; Feldheim Publishers, Ltd. 39 Tachkemoni St., Jerusalem]. 

Paul the apostle, an orthodox Jewish believer, picked up on this theme, when he compared the redeemed in Messiah with a Bride, betrothed to Him, the King of Israel, and spoke of that Bride having entered her sabbatical rest, her sanctification as a Bride unto her Bridegroom. 

Indeed, the relation between the Sabbath and the redeemed in Messiah is intimate, inasmuch as the Sabbath foreshadows the Messianic Reign of G-d’s Kingdom, and the place of the redeemed as Messiah’s Bride, having ceased from their own labors. Henceforth they live unto G-d and for G-d, His will forming the basis of their works, just as the Sabbath is utterly sanctified and devoted unto the worship and service of the Holy One of Israel, the Only Living G-d, free from every human toil and labour, from the hardships and miseries experienced in any of the other six days of the week. The Sabbath is a day of joy and gladness, of worship, praise and thanksgiving, of holiness and intimacy with G-d and His Word, of spiritual rebirth and renewed betrothal. The Sabbatical Bride and the Bride of Messiah are indeed as ONE, the former foreshadowing the latter. G-d established His purpose from ancient times in the Sabbath, which He is now fulfilling in the Assembly of the Firstborn from the dead, the Congregation of the Redeemed, the Bride of Messiah. 

Mostly, alas not always, the rabbis’ rulings go conform with G-d’s eternal Truth, even if they mean something different from what G-d means. G-d will guide the decisions of godly and righteous rabbis - and even of those not so righteous - simply because they are the elders of Israel and sit in the seat of Moses (see Matthew 23:1-3; Deuteronomy 17:8-13). Whether the rabbis realized it or not, there is indeed a Sabbatical Bride, namely the “Bride of the Lamb” which are all His saints registered as citizens of the Heavenly Jerusalem (Revelation 19:7-8; 21:9-10, 27), who have ceased from their OWN labor and entered into HIS rest (Hebrews 4:9-11). 
cThe month of Nisan is equivalent to the latter part of March and first part of April of the Gregorian Calendar, which was proclaimed in 1582 by Pope Gregory the XIII as a reform of the Julian calendar, both solar calendars and of Roman origin. 

The Jewish lunar year, traditionally celebrated as the Jewish New Year, known as Rosh Hashanah/Head of the Year, begins instead with the first of Tishrei. According to tradition the 1st of Tishrei marks the beginning of Creation, and consequently also the beginning of calculating the Jewish calendar year, which is 5757, in the year 1997 of the Gregorian calendar. It also marks the yearly cycle of Torah reading which ends on the Sabbath before Rosh Hashanha, and begins anew with the Sabbath following Rosh Hashanah, which actually is the biblical Feast of Trumpets. Moreover, since the shofar sounds of Rosh Hashanah call us to examine our past, to repent of past sins and to break with them, redevoting ourselves to a return unto G-d in obedience to Him and His commandments, Rosh Hashanah represents a new beginning regarding our walk with G-d [see again THE HIRSCH SIDDUR, pp. 614-643; TO BE A JEW, by Rabbi Hayim Halevy Donin, Basic Books, Inc., Publishers, New York, 1972, pp. 242-246].
dG-d did not abrogate the Passover and replace it with Easter. Easter was formerly a pagan festival kept by many nations unto the goddess of fertility: the Nordic peoples called her Ostera; the Canaanites called her Astarte; in Mesopotamia she was known as Ishtar, by the Sidonians as Ashtoreth;  the Greeks worhiped her as Artemis, and the Romans as Venus, etc. She was also given the title “queen of heaven", a title later conferred to Yeshua’s mother Miriam [Mary] by the Church of Rome.
e Joseph, son of Jacob and Rachel, was a type of Messiah as well. Like Yeshua, he was sold by his brothers to aliens. On the basis of a lie and false testimony he was thrown into prison. G-d sent Him before His people in order to keep alive for Israel many survivors, to save Israel from perishing [Gen. 45:7].

Israel were only 70 souls [Gen. 47:27], a very small people at the time. In procuring Israel’s survival from the famine he also provided an escape from certain death for all of the Egyptians and surrounding peoples [Gen. 41:57; 42:5; 47:14]. Joseph became lord over all the region of the Gentiles, second in power only to pharao [Gen. 41:40-41]. When his brothers came for grain they did not recognize in this lord of the Gentiles their own brother Joseph [Gen. 42:8]. 

Their eyes were blinded by the preconceived idea that Joseph probably was dead. Furthermore, this mighty lord over all of Egypt was an Egyptian, probably a Hyksos, certainly not a Hebrew. [The Hyksos pharaohs were not beloved in Egypt, especially after they came to own most of the best land in Egypt except that of the priests, an event which occurred under Joseph. Josephus, the Jewish historian, also writes that the Israelites lived in Egypt during the reign of the Hyksos (Contra Apion 1:14]. 

Though seeing him they did not recognize him.

Likewise, the Jewish brethren of Yeshua do not recognize in this “Lord of the Gentiles” their own brother and Messiah, whom their religious leaders of that day delivered into the hands of Gentiles to be condemned like a criminal on the basis of false accusations. Yet He was sent by G-d to save Israel. In the course of this mission a multitude of Gentiles is also being saved. 

This was also foreshadowed when Israel departed from Egypt for the promised land: because a mixed multitude both came out  with them and also entered  Canaan[Ex 12:38; Nu 11:4; Jn 10:16]. Soon His brethren will recognize in Him their Messiah whom they believed dead. Yet He is alive and will soon return as their King.
fIn view of Yeshua’s own words [John 6:70] I do not believe that He knew from the beginning who would betray Him. He knew it would be one of the Twelve whom He had chosen out of the seventy disciples after a night of prayer [Luke 6:12-13]. Scripture had to be fulfilled. It would have to be one close to Him, a friend He trusted. Because of Judas’ love of money and prideful heart Yeshua probably eventually suspected him to be the one. Yet only at the night of the inauguration of the New Covenant did Yeshua make known the betrayer --- who already had received his thirty pieces of silver in payment for his ghastly scheme [Matthew 26:15].
g The same is again true also today where thousands of Jews inside Israel are believers in Yeshua, but many dare not openly confess their faith for fear of the Chief Rabbinate. Many more thousands from abroad are prevented from coming to Israel on the Law of Return because they are being discriminated against by the Chief Rabbinate and by the haredim within the Ministry of the Interior. The charge is that they have forsaken the faith and joined an alien faith and therefore they are no longer Jews. A Jew who became a Moslem or a Buddhist, who is an atheist and denies G-d, who communicates with the dead and reads the future from coffee ground, cards, entrails, etc., things which G-d hates and are an abomination in His sight, all still have the Right of Return. Only Jews who believe in Yeshua don’t. 

 Of course, I fully understand the reason, why. Almost 1,800 years of relentless persecution, and attempts at forced conversion by Christendom, demanding Jews to cease all allegiance to the Jewish people and to Torah, has made this a necessary law for the purpose of self-preservation and of survival for the Jews in the Diaspora. Otherwise the Jewish people would have been swallowed up in a “silent holocaust”. 

However, the Chief Rabbinate and the Ministry of the Interior prove very inflexible. Instead of investigating this phenomena of tens of thousands of Jews having come to believe in Yeshua and continuing to come, while insisting on their Jewish identity and on keeping Torah and observing the Jewish traditions, they maintain an obsolete status-quo. The belief in Messiah is a Jewish  belief, not a Gentile. It were Jewish  disciples of Yeshua who brought this faith to the Gentiles as the Master had commanded them, “... to be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth”[Lk 24:47-48; Acts 1:8]. 

The thousands of Jewish disciples of our days have no interest to make “good Gentile Christians” out of their fellow Jews, nor do they believe in “three” gods, but in the Unity of the only One G-d. On the contrary, they are themselves zealous for G-d, for Torah, for our Land and people, for the Word of  G-d. The promised Messiah is the Hope of ISRAEL and, by the mercy of G-d, also of the Gentiles [Isa. 42:6; 49:6; Ac 13:47-48]. 

Joseph DID look like an Egyptian, but he WAS the beloved son of his father Jacob. Yeshua may look like a heathen god, but He IS Israel’s Messiah. Because of their faith in G-d’s promise many thousands of Jews cannot come to Israel on the Law of Return or, if they try, are turned away. Some may come but NOT on the Law of Return which, in effect, denies a Jewish man or woman their inalienable right. 

May our religious leaders not repeat the errors of their forefathers in Yeshua’s days and rob our people of the true Messiah, of Israel’s Hope, Peace and Salvation. Kabbalists and Lubavitcher Hassidim are recognized as Jews; even atheists and practitioners of divination, because they have Jewish parents. Hence they have the right to the Law of Return. And why not? They ARE Jews, however many different rabbis they may follow, however apostate they may be. G-D will deal with their errors. It is He Who will judge. Then why are the Jews who believe in Yeshua denied this right? They are just as much Jews, with Jewish parents or grandparents, following THEIR Rabbi, Yeshua Ben Yoseph, Ben David of Nazareth, born in Bethlehem. They belong to KLAL YISRAEL and are part of the “mishpoke”.

Jews are a greatly diverse people, and it is time for the elders of Israel to re-evaluate their position towards Messianic Jews. We live in the days of the Ingathering, not of the Dispersion. No one can take away from us ever again our identity. We are back in the Land --- as JEWS. And those who would rather be like all the Gentiles, such as Shulamit Aloni, Yossi Beilin, Shimon Peres, Yossi Sarid and others, are NOT Jews who in their heart confirm their natural birth and identity. They rather betray their own people, and the Land to which they were restored after a 2,000 year absence. Yet they have the right to Israeli citizenship as Jews while the Messianic Jews, who love Eretz Israel, their people and customs, are denied this right. May this injustice soon be corrected to the honor of the elders of Israel who, as guardians of Torah, are commanded to KEEP the mitzvot not only outwardly but with their heart, faithful to their true intent.
h  Golgatha, the “Place of the Skull”, is an extension of Mt. Moriah. Until this day one can see this landmark in East Jerusalem, right behind the Bus station. The place of the Garden Tomb is located there, and this is most probably the place where they took Yeshua. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is inside the walls of Old Jerusalem and not connected with Mt. Moriah. But Yeshua, Who also figures as our purification offering, was killed outside the “camp”, i.e. the city walls of Jerusalem, as was the red heifer, whose ashes were used for cleansing from all guilt and defilement [Numbers 19:2-20; Hebrews 9:13-14; 10: (14-7), 22; 13:11-13]. Once there, they crucified Him, driving nails into His hands and feet, for what is written in the Psalms and in Zechariah had to be fulfilled [Psalm 22:16; Zechariah 12:10]. 
i  Moses, Yeshua, the Psalms and the prophets testify - and so does Paul the apostle [Romans 7:12] - that the Law is good. But -- it does not have the power to save from the [genetic] law of sin and death. On the contrary; sinning under the Law brought about punishment and retribution [Romans 7:7-11, 13-14]. 
j  G-d’s commandments are all intended for the well being of His people, for health, peace and prosperity. The Kashrut and purification laws were to preserve them in good health; the laws how to deal with their fellow man, whether native or alien, would assure them peace within their cities, their land, and with their neighbors; the laws concerning their property, their lending, giving and offering were meant to bless them with prosperity. And the foundation of all these laws was and is: to love the Lord our G-d with all our heart, mind, soul and strength and to have no other gods besides Him. The love of G-d is to keep His commandments, Who desires but the welfare and prosperity of His people. If we and our money institutions would keep His commandments there would be no poor among us and no sick. Our enemies would live at peace with us and our Land would flourish and prosper. As it is, neither Israel nor the churches keep His commandments. Israel is again in constant troubles for disregarding the commandments, often willfully breaking them. And most of the churches lack the power and anointing to reach the lost masses because they do not carefully observe the foremost of Yeshua’s commandments: love one another even as I have loved you, because by THAT shall the people know that you are My disciples. Christendom has disregarded this one commandment more than any other and - except for a genuine remnant keeping this commandment with all their heart - Christianity became the most bloody, narrow minded and oppressive religion there ever has been, except for these last days in which fundamentalist Islam is trying to excel the crimes and fanaticism of Christendom of the Middle Ages. 
k  Yeshua had not reckoned with this! G-d had withheld this one truth from Him, lest He might not endure. There remained no power in Him, no strength. The Father, the Source of Yeshua’s strength and of His focus, had turned His face away from Him, the Son. All the demons of hell assaulted Him, tormenting Him, teasing and tempting: “See, G-d turned away from you. You deceived yourself. You are not the Messiah, the Son of G-d! You were only imagining! You will die now and not rise from the dead. You only imagined these things, you deceived yourself and others, you poor fool! Haha!”
l  In John 19:34 we are told that one of the Roman soldiers pierced Yeshua’s side with a spear to make sure that He was dead. At once there flowed out blood  and water. The flowing of blood AND water indicates that Yeshua’s heart was literally “broken”. The grief, pain, anguish, distress and torment He suffered literally broke  His heart. 
m  The religious Jews therefore asked Pilate to have the legs of the crucified broken, so that their bodies should not remain on the cross for the Shabbath Hagadol (John 19:31), lasting two days. Once the legs were broken the crucified could no longer push his body up with his legs and, hanging completely, he choked to death as his lungs got squashed and filled with water. The Roman soldiers broke the legs of the two criminals crucified with Yeshua. But they did NOT break Yeshua’s legs because they saw that He was already dead (Psalm 34:20; John 19:36).
n  G-d’s commandments provide an alternative in case of defilement: “Pesach katan”. One could bring the Paschal lamb a month later, on the 14th of Iyar [Numbers 9:6-7, 10-12]. Nevertheless, the joy and gladness of the communal Passover meal is lost. 
o  It is generally believed that “Adam” is derived from the word “a’dam’ah” (the fem. form of “Adam”), which means “earth, soil, ground”, because of its reddish characteristic implied by the word “dam”. Because “adamah” means earth, soil, ground, the name "Adam" is believed to mean merely “man”, since G-d created him from the dust of the earth. However, this seriously impairs the relevance and importance of the blood, of which G-d repeatedly states that in it is the life. When G-d’s breath entered the man’s nostrils, life was somehow imparted into his blood and made him a living being [Gen. 2:7; 1Cor. 15:45]. Because G-d never says that He created man in the likeness of His “ruach”, that is “breath, spirit, wind”, but in His “dam’ut”, that is blood-likeness. Nor does our Redeemer ever suggest that man is redeemed, or atoned for by [His] “breath”, but always and only by [His] “blood”, for reason that in it is the life.

Hence the combination of the abbreviation with the word “dam” spells “A-dam”, and means “G-d, or Lord of the Blood" in Hebrew, not merely “man”. The woman also was a “G-d, or Lord of the Blood", even though she was a female. She was taken from the man, therefore she shared in his kind of nature and life. “Dam” is the Hebrew word for “blood”, and the “A” is the abbreviation for “Adonai” [this word often appears in Scripture in place of the unutterable Name of G-d, and means "Lord, Master"].  (The Hebrew scholar, Dr. Roy Blizzard of "Yavo" Inc., of Austin, Texas, however, interprets "Adam" to mean “Blood-of-G-d.” Since Hebrew is written and read from right to left, it reads "Adonai" - "G-d, Lord" first, and then "dam" - "blood". Hence it is the more correct interpretation, which does not necessarily disqualify Dr. Blizzard's interpretation.)
p  The reason I don’t believe it to have been Caiaphas is the report given in Matthew 28:11-15: because after the guards were able to get up again and saw the stone rolled away, the tomb empty, and the angel and the women gone, some of them went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place. They in turn assembled immediatley the elders to discuss what to do about this. They decided to bribe the guards to tell the people that “His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.” Pretty useless guards, I would say. And if Pilate should hear of it they would satisfy, i.e. bribe, him and keep the guards out of trouble. The guards took the money and did as they were directed. 

AND THIS STORY HAS BEEN SPREAD AMONG THE JEWS TO THIS DAY!

Caiaphas refused to believe, because his heart had been eaten up with jealousy and envy - (Matt. 27:18; Mk 15:10). Yeshua could have appeared to him after the resurrection and Caiaphas would still have refused to accept Him as the promised Messiah, just as pharao refused to accept and believe the many signs done before his very eyes. Caiaphas was instrumental to cover up the true events. Yet many priests came to believe in Yeshua (Ac 6:7). Therefore one other than Caiaphas must have witnessed all these happenings, become convinced of Yeshua being indeed the Messiah and Son of G-d, and shared his testimony with his fellow priests. 
q  According to Rabbinic tradition the omer is waved at nightfall (after the first stars have appeared in the sky) of the 16th day of Nisan, on the second day of Passover. The author has not researched the day and hour of that particular year, since it cannot be established with certainty in which year Yeshua was born and therefore, 33 years later, crucified. 

According to Luke 2:1-7, Yeshua was born in Bethlehem during the first Census conducted in Judea, under the reign of  Ceasar Augustus (Octavian), when Quirinius was governor of Syria. At the time Herod the Great ruled over Judea who, in his maddened mind fearing the coming of the Messianic King, commanded all the infants of Bethlehem up to the age of 2 killed. Shortly thereafter Herod himself died, and Joseph returned with Miriam and Yeshua from Egypt where they had fled from Herod. Now Herod’s son  Archelaus was made ethnarch of Judea, for reason of which Joseph moved the family to Nazareth, in the district of Galilee (Matt. 2:22). Herod the Great died March/April 4 B.C.E. (B.C.)  Hence Yeshua may have been born 6 B.C.E. 

The former Roman consul Quirinius was imperial legate (governor) of Syria from 6 - 9 C.E. (A.D.),  beginning his governorship with a census. But since this governorship was several years after Herod’s death, there either was another Quirinius, or this was the second term of Quirinius as imperial legate of Syria1. So much is certain, that Yeshua was born approximately two years before the slaughter of the infants in Bethlehem. If the precise date of the census mentioned by Luke can be established, then we can at least determine year and month of Yeshua’s birth. This, I believe, probably can be ascertained by the diligent researcher who has access to the proper research material. 

In the Hebrew the commandment is: “...mi’macharat ha shabbat...” which, literally translated means, “...on the morrow after the sabbath...” Since Passover night does not fall on the same day every year, the rabbis interpret “the morrow after” as meaning the second night of Passover. But it can also be understood to mean, “the morrow after Shabbat/the 7th day of the week”, which then could have involved more than two days. However, that is splitting hair, nor is it my purpose to give a rabbinical dissertation. Notwithstanding, since the Gospel writers DO mention the day of Preparation, that it was a Great Shabbat, and that the women came to the tomb before dawn on Yom Rishon, the first day of the week, we know that the first night of Passover was on a Thursday. Hence, the second night would have fallen on Erev Shabbat itself. Whether or not Rabbinic law in those days ruled that, if the second night of Passover fell on Erev Shabbat (Shabbat evening) then the waving  and the counting of the omer should begin the following night, I do not know. 

It is certain that Messiah was raised from the dead on the third day, and that might have been at nightfall of Motzei Shabbat, or, as said earlier, in the “dew” hours of the morning. When the women came to the tomb,Yeshua had already risen. 

On the Waving and the Counting of the Omer see: “The Book of Our Heritage, II”, Revised Edition, by Eliyahu Kitov, Feldheim Publishers, 1978/5738, Jerusalem/New York; “The Living Torah”, by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, Maznaim Publishing Corporation, Brooklyn, New York, 1981, pp. 361; “To Be A Jew”, by Rabbi Hayim Lalevy Donin”, Basic Books, Inc., Publishers, New York, 1972, pp. 236-237; “Jewish Holidays and Festivals”, by Ben M. Edidin, Hebrew Publishing Company, New York, 1940; pp. 150, 158, 166; 
r  This lifely depiction of that particular event is the author’s own, based on the Scriptural record. Moreover, it may have been this specific priest, who was waving the “omer” that night, who told his fellow priests of what he saw and experienced. Because, as already mentioned, in Acts 6:7 we are told that also “great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.” It does not stand to reason that the priests hearkened to or believed the testimony of uneducated fishermen or of a former tax collector. But if one of their fellow priests had become a disciple, they may have been more inclined to accept his testimony that “The Teacher” from Galilee was indeed the Messiah and had risen from the dead. 
s  One may say, that all those firstborn from the dead , who entered into the New Covenant through faith and baptism, are “clones” of Yeshua, the risen Son of G-d. I don’t mean to offend anyone, but this is precisely what G-d is doing. Our new appearance does not manifest yet because the time fixed in G-d’s calendar has not arrived as yet. But at Yeshua’s Return we shall appear as He is, with the same kind of body - (Ph’pp 3:21; 1 Jn 3:2). However, at the very moment of our acceptance of Yeshua and our baptism into His death and resurrection  (Ro 6:3-6) -, we are being reborn, meaning, we receive the imperishable seed within by the power of the Holy Spirit - (1 Pe 1:23).  As Yeshua is, so shall we be. 

Actually, according to the Scriptures, believers are already now as He is - (1 Jn 4:17; 3:2). G-d “clones” everyone who receives Yeshua by faith and passes through the symbolic death and resurrection of baptism. We become instantaneously of like kind and nature, except for our individual looks - male or female - and personality,  which are retained in the life to come, although vastly improved. The long and often troublesome growth of each individual “messianic clone” is that of developing a godly and righteous character, full of love, mercy and compassion, faith, patience, justice and truth - (Col. 3:1-10). I recognize that many of the readers accustomed to “religious” terminology will take offense at my using the modern-day term, “clone”.  But when we carefully look at it, the escape from corruption - (2 Pe 1:4) - is a feat of divine “genetic engineering”. 

I have heard many times the term “washed with the blood of the Lamb” misapplied. Washing does not exchange nature. A pig that is washed will roll again in the mud (2 Pe 2:22). As a consequence I observed many sincere Christians fighting a losing battle, struggling to become “Christlike” in the strength of their mortal, and hopelessly corrupt, flesh. “Washed with the blood” refers to our heavenly robes of salvation, righteousness and beauty of  holiness, which we are likely to “spot” here and there as we still fall short then and now and sin. The “washing” is in connection with what John says in 1 John 1:8-9: “If we confess our sins [with a repentant heart, of course], G-d is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness...”, and applies to what one of the heavenly Sanhedrin of twentyfour elders says in Revelation 7:14. 

Our conscience, and our robes, become spotless, white as snow by the sin- and guilt removing power of His blood. But our old, sinful nature is not merely being washed. It is discarded! Put away with (2 Cor. 5:17)! Dumped! Really, try this: take the clothes of a very wicked man and wash them with a good detergent in the wash machine, and they’ll become clean until he dirties them again. But put the man in the wash machine with a good detergent to wash his wickedness out and you’ll find it doesn’t work. He’ll be as wicked as before. 

It is only after fully realizing that in Messiah the old mortal and corrupt nature has been utterly discarded and in its place a new one has been created (Eph. 2:15-16), “cloned” in His Image and after His Likeness, i.e of like kind and nature (Ro 8:29; 1 Cor. 15:49; 2 Cor. 3:18), that we begin to progress. Of course, when we look in the mirror we still behold our old form; we still have the same voice and still like the same foods ( if it is junk food, we will get convicted to change our eating habits). It is at first within that a notable change takes place, of interests, likings and dislikings, and convictions about bad habits and selfish attitudes and behavior. We are literally like the Tabernacle in the wilderness: looking at it from without one saw only the unattractive, dyed animal skins. But seeing it from within one beheld beauty and glory. Our old body of mortal, sinful flesh is like the dyed animal skins. But our new nature, though still invisible, is like the beauty and glory within, like Yeshua’s beauty and glory. 

In the blood is the life. The blood that flows in His veins - the blood-of-G-d/A-dam - will flow in ours. We are literally “bone of His bones and flesh of His flesh”, sons and daughters of G-d as partakers of the divine nature (Ro 8:16-17; 12 Pe 1:4; 1 Jn 3:2). As the Man who came from heaven is, so shall we be also (1 Cor. 15:48). Therefore we presently groan and long for the redemption of our bodies which shall take place at the conclusion, at the “eclipse” of G-d’s calendar (Ro 8:23; Eph. 1:4,7,10). At that time we shall not even remember sin anymore, or know or understand what it is. We shall have no knowledge whatsoever of evil, sin and death (Isa. 65:17; Rev. 21:4). It will be like before the fall, yet infinitely better, “improved” if you will. For the genetic make-up of our new nature will not be after the one G-d made from the dust, but after the One Who came from heaven, the Son of G-d. What an escape, what a glorious salvation! 

Note: No religious acrobatics, nor ever so scientific and skillful attempts of human genetic engineering will achieve immortality. Medical science may well prolong human life, but ultimately cannot prevent death from claiming his victim. Nor does science have the means to undo the “sin-nature”, because whatever genes and chromosomes, whatever DNA, blood or tissue they may work with, it all is of corrupted nature. Death is a “code”  they can neither break nor eliminate. Only the Son of G-d could and DID! The “fountain of eternal youth," free from the corrupting power of sin, is alone with the Messiah of Israel. Escape from the present corruption and salvation from mortality to immortality is only with G-d, the Holy One of Israel, and with no other. Blessed be His Name forever and ever. Amen. 
t  As long as the dispersion of His people lasted so also did the dispersion of genuine believers. Because where Israel is there is Messiah. And where Messiah is there is His “Body”, G-d’s First Fruits through recreation. G-d did not create a second womb nor an alien fold. Rome did. But now that He is gathering the Jews back into their own land, He is also calling those that belong to Messiah to come home  into the only fold G-d ever called His own, Israel. I do not speak here of an actual, physical joining - although many even do that - but of oneness of heart, mind and soul. For those who are indeed in Messiah walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh (Romans 8:4, 9, 14-17), and are to reckon themselves accordingly as joined unto G-d’s people, ingrafted  as it were, as fellow-citizens and co-heirs. 

But not all who were born into the fold of Israel will also belong to G-d’s First Fruits, His Assembly of the Firstborn  from the dead. Whether Jew or Gentile, only those who proceed from the heavenly Omer will also enter the Kingdom of G-d. Only the new man  in Him will qualify.
