The concept of the Everlasting Gospel can be best understood through various passages and prophecies
that convey the idea of redemption, salvation, and God’s eternal plan for humanity. This information
is contained in the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Tanakh. The Bible contains several prophetic
passages that foreshadow the coming of a Messiah who would bring the Good News of Salvation and
serve as the ultimate Kinsman Redeemer for humanity.
To the shock of many, the very first word of the Bible explicitly declares the Everlasting Gospel.
- *H7225 שׁיתִ ראֵ Be-re’shiyth (Bet ray-sheeth’) n-f. 1. The first, in place, time, order or rank.
- The word “beginning” or Be-re’shyit contains the Hebrew letters Bet, Resh, Aleph, Shin, Yod and Tav.
- The word ‘beginning’ here is translated by the individual Hebrew letters thusly; Bet is
- Tent/house, Resh is head/father, Aleph means leader, Shin is a set of fangs/teeth meaning piercing, Yod is a hand/arm and Tav is a set of Crossed sticks.
- The full understanding of the word ‘beginning’ is now, “The head of the house of the Father, pierced by the hand, on a cross, to bring the covenant.”
Let’s explore some key aspects of the Everlasting Gospel as revealed in the Bible:
Throughout the Bible, there are numerous prophecies that speak of a future Redeemer or Messiah
who will come to deliver God’s people from sin and bring about a new covenant of everlasting grace.
One of the most famous prophecies is found in Isaiah 9:6-7, which declares, “For to us, a child is
born, to us, a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be
called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
The Bible contains various covenants that God made with His people, promising redemption,
blessings, and restoration. The Abrahamic Covenant, for instance, is a foundational promise wherein
God pledged to bless all nations through Abraham’s descendants (Genesis 12:1-3). This covenant
ultimately points to the coming of the Messiah, who would fulfill these promises and extend salvation
to all humanity.
The Bible is replete with instructions for sacrifices and atonement, particularly in the books of
Leviticus and Deuteronomy. These offerings served as temporary measures to symbolically atone for
sin. They foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice of the Messiah, who would bring about true and
everlasting atonement for humanity’s sins.
Several passages in the Hebrew Bible speak of a future King from the lineage of David, who would
rule with righteousness and justice. This promised King is often associated with the Messiah, who
would establish an everlasting kingdom. Notably, in Jeremiah 23:5-6, it is prophesied, “Behold, the
days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall
reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.”
In Isaiah 53, we find a profound prophecy about a suffering servant who would bear the sins of
many and make intercession for transgressors. This chapter depicts the Messiah’s sacrificial role in
redeeming humanity and establishing God’s everlasting covenant of grace.
Though the term “Everlasting Gospel” itself is only used once in the Bible [Revelation 14:6], these
prophetic passages, promises, and covenants collectively form the foundation and anticipation of the
Gospel message that Yeshua Messiah eventually fulfilled (pleeroo; to be lived out) in the New
Testament. It is through the lens of the Hebrew Bible that the full significance of the Everlasting
Gospel comes into view, as the culmination of God’s eternal plan of redemption for humanity through
His Son, Yeshua.
The concept of redemption in biblical theology is a central and multifaceted theme that runs through
both the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and the eye witness accounts in the New Testament. Most Christians believe they have a real “handle” on this basic theology.
Lets move past the milk and move on to the meat. It encompasses the idea of liberation, deliverance, and the act of buying back or setting free from bondage. The biblical understanding of redemption revolves around several key aspects, each revealing profound insights into God’s character, His relationship with humanity, and the ultimate plan of salvation.
In the Old Testament, one of the primary contexts in which redemption is portrayed is the liberation
of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. This event, known as the Exodus, is a defining moment in
Israel’s history and serves as a powerful symbol of God’s redeeming power. The act of redeeming the
Israelites from Egyptian bondage demonstrates God’s compassion, faithfulness to His covenant
promises, and His desire to set His people free from oppression. What modern Christians do not
know: they are already in bondage to the Law of the Divorced Woman. They are divorced from their
bridegroom, and in a chapter to follow we will discover this very position.
Another significant aspect of redemption in biblical theology is the idea of atonement for sin. Sin
separates humanity from a holy and righteous God, leading to spiritual bondage and the need for
reconciliation. The Bible illustrates the temporary nature of atonement through animal sacrifices,
which served as a symbolic means of cleansing and forgiveness. However, these sacrifices were
unable to provide lasting redemption.
In the New Testament, the ultimate act of redemption is revealed through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, who, as the spotless Lamb of God, offered Himself as the perfect atoning sacrifice for the sins of humanity, thereby securing eternal redemption (Hebrews 9:12). This, as we will discover, is not the abolition of Torah, but the actual access to the promises in Torah.
Redemption in biblical theology is intricately tied to God’s covenant promises. Throughout the Old
Testament, God made various covenants with His people, such as the Abrahamic, Mosaic, and
Davidic covenants. The fulfillment of these promises is often linked to the redemptive work of the
Messiah. Jesus, as the fulfillment of these promises, embodies the ultimate act of redemption,
reconciling humanity to God and fulfilling the covenantal relationship between God and His people.
Redemption also carries the idea of restoration and renewal. The biblical narrative depicts humanity’s
fall into sin and brokenness, resulting in a fractured relationship with God and creation. Through
redemption, God offers restoration to a state of harmony and peace. In the New Testament, the
concept of redemption expands to include the renewal of all creation, with the hope of the new
heavens and the new earth (Revelation 21:1).
Redemption in biblical theology goes beyond external liberation; it also involves internal
transformation. Those who receive God’s redemption experience a profound change of heart and
mind, being transformed into new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17). This inner renewal enables
believers to live in accordance with God’s will and purposes. The Psalmist tells us that the Torah is
perfect, light, life, truth and love. Having heard many “Christians” say verbatim: “I am just waiting to hear
God’s will for my life.” Or they will specifically state, “God told me to run a shelter, that’s his will for
my life.” In either case it sounds as if they have never considered that the Torah IS God’s will for all
our lives.
In both the Old and New Testaments, the crucifixion of Messiah serves as the focal point of
redemption. The Bible foreshadows the redemptive work of the Messiah, while the New Testament
unveils its fulfillment through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Sacrifice of Yeshua
stands as a powerful symbol of God’s love, mercy, and how humanity can be reconciled to God.
The modern-day Christian is quick to answer that Jesus died for sin while equally as eager to share
that news with others. And yet it seems that they only believe that one fact is all they need to know.
These are the milk sippers.
The full concept of redemption in biblical theology encompasses liberation from bondage, atonement
for sin, fulfillment of covenant promises, restoration and renewal, personal transformation, and the
central role of the sacrifice. It represents God’s unrelenting love and His plan to redeem and restore
His creation through the ultimate act of sacrificial love in Jesus Christ. The theme of redemption is a
thread that weaves throughout the entirety of the biblical narrative, revealing the heart of God’s
redemptive plan for humanity through the Torah.
The transformative power of the Everlasting Gospel is the profound and life-changing impact it has
on individuals and societies when fully embraced and lived out. Torah, at its core, is the Everlasting Gospel that offers a message of redemption, reconciliation, and renewal through the person and work of Yeshua
Messiah. This transformative power can be observed in various aspects of human life, spirituality, and
relationships.
Here are some keyways in which the Everlasting Gospel brings about transformation:
The Everlasting Gospel brings spiritual transformation by offering forgiveness, cleansing from sin, and
reconciliation with God. When individuals accept Yeshua as their Kinsman Redeemer, they experience
a profound change of heart and a new identity as children of God (John 1:12-13). This transformation
involves the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, leading to a renewed mind, a desire to live a life pleasing to
God, and the development of Christ-like character (Romans 12:2).
This life lived in observance of the Torah is an outward expression from an inward desire to reciprocate love back to God. The very same observed in modern Christianity is Baptism. They leave many other “works” out of their teachings.
Philippians 2:12 “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but
now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”
The Everlasting Gospel addresses brokenness, pain, and emotional wounds, providing healing and
restoration. Through His redemptive work, Yeshua brings comfort to the hurting, offers hope to the
despairing, and brings freedom to those bound by addictions or oppressive circumstances (Isaiah
61:1-3).
Ethical and Moral Transformation:
Embracing the Everlasting Gospel leads to a transformation in ethical and moral conduct. The teachings of Yeshua, centered on love, compassion, and justice, inspire believers to live righteous and selfless lives, seeking the welfare of others.
Matthew 22:37-40 “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
Jesus points people directly to the Torah. This transformation impacts not only individual behavior but also shapes the character of communities and societies. Micah 6:8 “He hath shewed thee, O man, what is
good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk
humbly with thy God?” Remember God’s will for your life?
The Everlasting Gospel empowers believers to engage in acts of compassion and service, addressing
social injustices, poverty, and inequality. Throughout history, Christians inspired by the Gospel have
played significant roles in advocating for human rights, fighting against slavery, promoting education,
and providing humanitarian aid. Christianity today seems to have hyper focused on these actions,
over the building of their relationship with God through consistent Bible Study. Of the hundreds of
“believers” I encounter less than 2% posses or use concordances or lexicons to deepen their
understanding of the Hebrew and Greek origins.
The Everlasting Gospel fosters unity and reconciliation among believers from diverse backgrounds
and cultures. It breaks down barriers of race, ethnicity, and social status, creating a new community
of faith where all are equal in Christ. This unity demonstrates the transformative power of the Gospel
to heal historical divisions and promote genuine love and fellowship.
Galatians 3:28 “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”
This verse has been used more to divide than it does to unify mainstream Christianity.
God tells us that he recognized only two types of humans.
Hosea 2:23 “And I will sow her (Bride of Christ) unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.”
The Hebrew word Ammim, or ‘my people’ was translated as ‘Jew’ and Goyim, ‘not my people’ was translated as ‘Greek’. This is the grafting of all humanity that gets addressed here and in the writings of Paul.
The Everlasting Gospel offers hope and purpose by pointing to the ultimate fulfillment of God’s
kingdom. Believers find assurance in the promise of eternal life and the restoration of all things
(Revelation 21:1-4). This hope provides strength and endurance during difficult times, inspiring
believers to persevere in their faith.
The transformative power of the Everlasting Gospel empowers believers to become the effective
witnesses of God’s grace and love. As they experience the life-changing impact of the Gospel, they
are compelled to share this Good News with others. Their transformed lives become a testimony to
the redemptive work of Yeshua, drawing others to Him.
Acts 1:8 “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
In conclusion, the Everlasting Gospel has the transformative power to change individuals from the
inside out, impacting their spirituality, character, behavior, relationships, and societal engagement.
The message of redemption, reconciliation, and renewal through Yeshua Messiah offers hope,
healing, and purpose, inspiring believers to live out their faith and be agents of positive change in the
world. The entire goal of writing out the Torah was to transform the world into a harmonious
community serving God and one another.
John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory
as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” Next in chapter two we will discover
the depth of the flesh suit and God walking upon earth.
