Beginning At Moses

In Luke chapter 24 Mashiach is recorded as teaching concerning himself beginning at Moses.  I will briefly outline here the relationship between Moshe's (Moses') prayer for Israel after the sin of the 10 spies and Yahoshua's (Jesus') prayer for Jerusalem and Israel from the execution pole.

The Presence of The Holy Blessed One brought Israel directly from Mount Sinai to the gate of entrance into the Land which He promised to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  Had they entered directly through this spiritual gate when it was in the south they would have entered without the need for the carnal warfare that remains unto this day.  They failed to enter due to unbelief in the Shalom of God.  Then Moshe prayed for them.

Although Israel would have to wander and enter only by way of violence, ending even in the destruction of  the Temple, Moshe sacrificed his own glory and prayed for the glory of the grace of God to be revealed upon Israel.  God accepted the prayer of Moshe and went forward with Israel on the path of her suffering.

Moshe prayed that God would judge Israel as though they were only little children not knowing what they were doing.  When the violence that led to the destruction of the Temple at the hands of the nations led also to the destruction of the body of Mashiach at the hands of the nations, Yahoshua pleaded form the execution pole with his Father, in unison with the prayer of Moshe, to forgive Israel as little children who did not know what they were doing.

As God accepted the prayer of Moshe so He accepted the prayer of Yahoshua and raised him from the dead and anointed him Mashiach of Israel to lead Israel again to the gate of the south, where Israel stands again at the place to choose the way of faith and shalom or wandering and violence.  Now we come to that time where the outcome will be shalom.
