Acts Of The Apostles
To All Nations
When attending “Bible College,” or
seminary, or other such religious-based
classes, often the teacher or instructor will
make a startling statement that seems
logical, but is the cause for great
misunderstandings of the true faith of the
disciples. Usually the remark will sound
something like this: “The Book of Acts is a
historical book used to record the
transition between the Jewish dispensation
and the ‘New Yisrael’ church. Therefore
this book should not and cannot be used
for doctrine, or to establish church
theological positions as the rest of
Scripture, which can, and should be used
for doctrine.” Now years later,
understanding the Two-House truth, we
can understand why this was taught to
many. These statements were designed to
keep believers away from Torah and a
first-century Yisraelite lifestyle. As you will
shortly see, the Book of Acts is a most
Hebraic resource, showing vividly the
practice of Torah in the life of all believers
in Moshiach. In this book, we see the
apostles wrestling with how to incorporate
the returning non-Jews into a Torah-based
lifestyle. As such, these issues are all
doctrinal issues ranging from ecclesiology
(the study of just who is the one true elect
bride of YHWH), to soteriology (the study
of salvation itself). Therefore the Book of
Acts must be viewed and studied not
merely as a historical, or transitional
document as some claim, but as a worthy
book from which we can derive practical
instruction, as well as settle ongoing
doctrinal issues, as we receive clarity from
its pages. Second Timothy 3:16 reminds
us of this truth, by stating that all scripture
is profitable for any and every use,
including doctrine. Let those who have
been discouraged from doing so in the
past, begin to look to this book again, not
merely as a record of early Nazarene
history, but as a guidebook in our cultural
return back into the Commonwealth of
Yisrael.
The first scroll have I made, O Theophilos, 5215 1
of all
that gauvh began both to do and teach,
2 Until the day in which He was taken up, after He
through the Ruach Hakodesh had given His Torah to the
shlichim whom He had chosen:
3 To whom also He showed Himself alive after His
passion by many infallible proofs, being seen by them
forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the
malchut of vuvh.
- 671 -
4 And, as He ate lechem together with them, 5216 He
commanded them that they should not depart from
Yahrushalayim, but wait for the Promise of Abba, which,
He said, you have heard from Me.
5 For Yochanan ha Matbeel truly immersed with mayim;
but you shall be immersed with the Ruach Hakodesh not
many days from now.
6 When they therefore had come together, they asked
Him, saying, Master, will You at this time restore again
the malchut to Yisrael? 5217
7 And He said to them, It is not for you to know the times,
or the moadim, which Abba has put under His own
authority. 5218
8 But you shall receive power, after the Ruach Hakodesh
has come upon you: and you shall be witnesses to Me
both in Yahrushalayim, and in all Yahudah, and in
Shomron, and to the four corners of the olam. 5219
9 And when He had spoken these things, while they
looked, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of
their sight.
10 And while they looked steadfastly toward the
shamayim as He went up, see, two men stood by them in
white apparel; 5220
11 Who also said, You men of Galil, why do you stand
gazing up into the shamayim? This same gauvh, who is
taken up from you into the shamayim, shall so come in
like manner as you have seen Him go into the
shamayim. 5221
12 Then they returned to Yahrushalayim from the har
called Olivet, which is from Yahrushalayim a Shabbat
day’s journey. 5222
13 And when they came back, they went up into an upper
room, where there were staying Kepha, and Yaakov, and
Yochanan, and Andri, Philip, and Toma, Bartholomi, and
Mattityahu, Yaakov the son of Alphai, and Shimon the
Zealot, and Yahudah the brother of Yaakov.
14 These all continued with one accord in the tefillot and
supplication, 5223 with the women, and Miryam the eema
of gauvh, and with His brothers.
15 And in those days Kepha stood up in the midst of the
talmidim – the number of names together were about a
hundred twenty – and said,
16 Men and Yisraelite brothers, this Katuv had to have
been fulfilled, which the Ruach Hakodesh by the mouth
of Dawid spoke before concerning Yahudah, who was a
guide to them that took gauvh.
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of
this service.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of
iniquity; and falling head first, he burst open in the
middle, and all his intestines gushed out.
19 And it was known to all the dwellers at
Yahrushalayim; so that field is called in their own
language, Akel-Dahma, that is to say, The Field of Dahm.
20 For it is written in the Scroll of Tehillim, Let his
dwelling be desolate, and let no man dwell in it: and let
his office of service be given to another.
21 It is therefore necessary that one of these men who
have been with us all the time that the Savior gauvh went
in and out among us,
22 Beginning from the mikvah of Yochanan ha Matbeel,
to the same day that He was taken up from us, one must
be ordained to be a witness with us of His resurrection.
