The law of the harvest, the spiritual law of consequence! Be careful; whatever you accuse someone else of falsely you will spend the rest of your life having to defend those accusations yourself!
Acts 6:1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution.
Luke introduces us to a mysterious group of people called “Hellenists.”
A somewhat disparaging term, “one who speaks Greek!” or “follows Greek ways.”
We arrive in Ch.6 with those who follow Greek ways as we arrive in 2021 we will find we have come full circle and find the sad end to those who have chosen to follow Greek ways rather than the ways of a Republic.
It can be summed up in one word: theatre. Democracy, Greek ways began in circus theater and have now reached the pinnacle of circus theater (500 BCE) – the law of the harvest!
It was the invention of theatre, especially ancient Athens’ annual theatre festival, that gave birth to democracy. Democracy began as theatre began, and Athenian democracy ended when its great theatre ended.
Acts 6:1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. 2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples to them, and said, It is not right that we should leave the word of vuvh, and serve food 3 Therefore, Yisraelite brothers, look for seven men of honest report, full of the Ruach of the Master vuvh and chochmah, whom we may appoint over this business. 4 But we will give ourselves continually to tefillah, and to the service of the word.
4 themes:
Ethic conflict & Affirmative Action:
The Water Libation Ceremony, Levitical priesthood and Midrash.
False witnesses: a two fold approach:
The law of the harvest/the spiritual law of consequence:
Ethic conflict & Affirmative Action: the first case in history of “affirmative action,” where those with political power generally repressed complaining minorities. Here the apostles hand the whole system over to the offended minority.
The Water Libation Ceremony, Levitical priesthood and Midrash.
False witnesses: a two fold approach:
in light of NT/OT – law vs. grace
2021 and the tribulation – false witness culture sealed and accepted with its ensuing death and destruction established.
The law of the harvest/the spiritual law of consequence: Be careful: whatever you accuse someone else of falsely you will spend the rest of your life having to defend those accusations yourself! Paul was present as they accused Stephen of, “destroying the law and the changing the customs of Moses!” The very charges that have been levied upon the apostle Paul Vatican Rome and the Papal church system for over 2000 years!
You and I were led to believe false witness testimony for too many years, by merchants of the pulpit!
Greek ways – democracy began when Cleisthenes, an aristocrat, who reformed the Athenian constitution, which had institutionalized four warring tribes power in a way that led to tyranny.
Reforming the Constitution, warring tribes, a redistricted city-state (thats old fashioned for lock downs) and instituting city-state legislature run by lottery – that’s DOMINION!
5 And the saying pleased the entire multitude: and they chose Tzephanyah-Stephen, a man full of emunah and the Ruach Hakodesh, and Philip, and Prochoros, and Nikanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nikolaos a Yisraelite of Antioch.6 Who were set before the shlichim: and when they had made tefillah, they laid their hands on them.
7 And the word of vuvh increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Yahrushalayim greatly; and a large group of the Kohanim and others from the Yahudite emunah were obedient to the Netsarim emunah.
8 And Tzephanyah, full of emunah and power, did great wonders and nisim among the people. 9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the Synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilikia and of Asia Minor, disputing with Stephen-Tzephanyah. 10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Ruach by which he spoke.
False witnesses cause the death (martyr) of a believer as they will in the tribulation.
Right now, we live in a society predicated upon the testimony of false witness.
Of course we know Stephen actually supported the law of Moses and its teaching – the torah, especially as it pointed to Yahusha witnessed and verified for us in 7:37: this is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall יהוה your elohim raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. 38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:
Stephen intends to present his own true witness, not answer someone else’s trumped up charges! Pun intended…trumped up charges.
We are living in a time just like the Acts of the Apostles, where there are casualties and the body count rising.
THE WITNESSES ARE FALSE, AND THE WHOLE PROCESS IS RIGGED, AN EXAMPLE OF VIGILANTE JUSTICE AT IT’S WORST.
On the basis of this faulty analysis a whole theory about Christianity has been created, a theory that is now accepted as fact and anyone challenging it with Scripture is charged with being the false witness.
So in conclusion: Acts 6:13
It’s actually false witness who say the torah is done away with and the customs of Moses have been changed.
We live in a culture propagated upon theater and false witness testimony and as you can see most travel along it’s broad road, not wanting to look at the man behind the curtain!
11 Then they instigated other men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moshe, and against Elohim. 12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and all these came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the Sanhedrin, 13 And set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceases not to speak blasphemous words against the temple, and the Torah: 14 For we have heard him say, that this Yahusha of Natzeret shall destroy this place, and shall change the ways that Moshe delivered to us. 15 And all that sat in the Sanhedrin, looking steadfastly at him, saw his face as if it had been the face of a heavenly malach.
Stephen was following a Deuteronomystic view of our history as Israel, following the pattern of four.
repeatedly disobedient Israelites
are admonished by יהוהs prophets
whose words are rejected
bringing judgment on the disobedient nation
This pattern is seen in Kings and Chronicles!
It’s a pattern from which you and I have been delivered making us the children of promise the Malki Tzedik priesthood – all 12 tribes standing on true witnesses – dare I suggest the 144,000 being birthed.
