COMMENTARY - ENDNOTES
5138
The one difference between YHWH’s Son and all the other mighty ones in Yisrael, is found in the same Psalm,
Psalm 82 v. 7: “but as men” you shall die. Yahshua in His eternal existence is distinguished from other human
mighty ones.
5139
Jewish-Yisrael.
5140
The House of Judah.
5141
The children of Yisrael, or Eloah that were already “scattered abroad” can only be referring to non-Jewish, or
Efrayim-Yisrael, from the ten northern tribes. No other group of people possibly fits this description. Note that they
were not pagans, but already covenant people in exile. Note also that they are called “children of Eloah,” an endtime
term referring to the 10 tribes of the north according to Hosea 1:10. Since Judah was mostly in the land of
Yisrael at the time of this prophecy, it certainly points to Efrayim-Yisrael. Ciaphas pronounces this, and the Spirit
elaborates by saying that it is far better for Yahshua to die than for both houses to perish. Both those in the land,
and those “scattered abroad,” return by His death according to Ciaphas and John, so that both folds can become
one again.
5142
Once the Spirit had declared the reason for Yahshua's death, we see an immediate remez, or hint application, of
the gathering of the exiles of Efrayim back home. Rather than walk in Judah, where He would be prematurely
arrested, Yahshua went into the wilderness to a city called Efrayim. Since Efrayim is in the wilderness of the nations,
and since Judah’s leaders no longer welcomed Him, He continued in Efrayim and remained there with His disciples.
This is again a prophetic declaration by the Spirit in the remez/hint, that Yahshua will be rejected by Judah's elders,
only to find refuge among scattered Efrayim in the wilderness of the nations. In so doing, He would remain there
with His disciples for the better part of the next 2,000 years. The Spirit places these Scriptures in spiritual sequence
and the message is clear. Yahshua has found His disciples primarily among returning Efrayim, and will continue to
do so until His return.
5143
This could have been one of those pre-Pesach rehearsal meals, done by most rabbis in the first century that
Yahshua later did with the 12 disciples.
5144
A true thanksgiving offering by Mary for what Yahshua did by raising her brother. This is the true worship, that
doesn’t seek a gift, but returns in pure adoration.
5145
See note on John 7:35.
5146
What prompted Yahshua to say this at this juncture was the return of these select Efrayimites, who were
attending the feasts, and wanted more perfect instruction and so came to seek Messiah. When Yahshua perceived of
the return of the children of exiled Yisrael scattered abroad, He knew that His time had come to bring back not just
these few, but the “fullness of the gentiles,” as seen in Genesis 48:19.
5147
In context, Efrayim's massive return depends upon the grain of wheat (Yahshua) falling into the ground at death,
in order to bring forth much fruit among the exiles of non-Jewish Yisrael.
5148
In the ministry of Messiah, and in the future ministry of His people among His people by the Spirit. The
esteeming of YHWH’s Name is an ongoing restoration work as well.
5149
That we would know of a certainty that the Father expects us to esteem and proclaim His true Name.
5150
The drawing back of Yisrael.
5151
Peshitta.
5152
One of the saddest verses in Scripture.
5153
Peter realized that this was not a mere ritualistic bathing, or washing, but a symbolic act, and therefore realized
his need for full and total cleansing by Messiah.
5154
True and contented believers know Yahshua as YHWH manifested fully in flesh, but also know that the Father is
greater. For more details see: http://restorationscriptures.org/link7.htm
5155
Psalm 41:9.
5156
John the author.
5157
A double infilling of s.a.tan after the initial influence of v. 2.
5158
Dual application. Heavenly dwellings, and earthly dwellings, in the Renewed Jerusalem on earth.
5159
Greater numerically and quantitatively, not in terms of actually raising dead people on a weekly basis. This
means that Yahshua’s followers not having the full measure of the Spirit, cannot possibly do what only He could do.
5160
Prayers in Nazarene Yisrael must be sealed in Yahshua’s Name.
5161
In His Name and according to His will (First John 5:14).
5162
A short but sweet warning to all who love Yahshua. The proof is full Torah compliance.
5163
Torah-keeping is a precondition, in order for Yahshua to reveal Himself to individual Yisraelites.
5164
Please see: http://restorationscriptures.org/page41.htm for more details.
5165
This discourse is given in light of Isaiah 5, where the vineyard is Yisrael and the Beloved who owned the
vineyard is The Father-YHWH.
5166
Both literally and figuratively.
5167
Those who deny Him, after having at one time believed in Him.
5168
Both Yahshua and Yisrael must guard YHWH’s Torah as a sign of affection, submission and obedience. To claim
a love for Yahshua apart from Torah obedience, will result in being cut off from the Vine, along with suffering the
consequences of that removal.
