These searched in their genealogical records, but they could not be found; therefore they were considered unclean and excluded from the priesthood. Ezra 2:62
It is the Talmud that includes the law of matrilineal descent in Judaism. But even with self proclaimed legalism, the Priests ancestry was polluted. However, according to tests of today, it was accurate somewhat so they say.
What is interesting is that the Apostle Paul visited Britain in one of his journeys. It's recorded in chapter 29 of Acts of the Cypher Bible, (Most Bibles don't have this chapter because of editing) that the Druids proved to the Apostle Paul that they were Levites and priests..
Today there are many Priests and no ancestry proof is required. But Yahusha Hamashia, called Jesus Christ, was to be the in perfect Lamb of Elohiym and High Priest. But the Jews called Yahusha a Samaritan. This is recorded in John 8:48.
"The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
By calling Yahusha a "Samaritan", this combined two insults into one. This mocked His Virgin Birth and accused Him of heresy. Referring to Yahusha as demon-possessed, was the same as calling Him crazy today. However Pontius Pilate knew Yahusha didn't deserve to die. In other words, not crazy and no crime committed. So Yahusha Hamashia was charged with being King of the Jews. This was in opposition to Roman Law. But this upset the Jews also. It was now recorded that Yahusha Hamashia was considered an illegal King. On the cross was written by the first letter of each word, YHVH. This was the unspeakable name of God to the Jews.
Having done my ancestry, I found out that Yahusha is not only Levite, but also of the House of David. But story has it that his Mother Mary, daughter of Anna didn't qualify as Jewish. Jews that traveled to Western Europe was not written in the Talmud ancestry.
King Zedekiah's daughter Princess Tehya was removed from Judea to Egypt and then to Ireland. This is to say that the continuous line of David traveled through the High Kings of Ireland and Scotland, not Judea. The last High King was Edward the Bruce, Brother of Robert the Bruce, these are my ancestors several times over. I believe Yahusha Hamashia was a descendant of the Princess Tehya who became High Queen. She was the only living child of King Zedekiah at the time of the Prophet Jeremiah.
The question is, was Yahusha with the Druids between His last childhood appearance at the Temple in Jerusalem and when His ministry began in Galilee Israel. You know that the Prophet Jeremiah would take the Torah with him as he traveled west with the young princess from Judea. It would be the Druids that would have kept the Torah. I'm not saying that all Druids were righteous. They had unholy things about them also just like the priests of Jerusalem under Roman occupation.
I quote, "The Druids were suppressed in Gaul by the Romans under Tiberius (reigned 14–37 ce) and probably in Britain a little later. In Ireland they lost their priestly functions after the coming of Christianity and survived as poets, historians, and judges."
Druids religion and government felt Roman oppression. However I believe that the Druids listened to the Gospel and converted. It was a Druid King that called for Joseph of Arimathea to live out his days in Wales. His daughter became Queen. Queen Boudica would be half British, half Jewish and of the House of David.
History is an interesting subject. History has always been rewritten by the military victors and twisted into political power. It has been erased or made into myths. False facts have been added to prevent connections from being made. It's something about birthrights that still hold value. Loosing your records of Ancestry, you were considered an outlaw. However most people do not care about ancestry and birthrights today. They don't care about loosing freedom if they get handouts.
So far I haven't listed qualifications to be a Priest or Pastor. That's because there should not be to anyone called Father spiritually on Earth.
Then Yahusha spoke to the crowds and to His disciples, saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses; therefore all that they tell you, do and keep, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them. And they tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger. But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments. And they love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues, and respectful greetings in the marketplaces, and being called Rabbi by men. But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. Do not be called instructors; for One is your Instructor, that is, Christ. But the greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. Matthew 23:1-12
Today we are free to read these words. But if you start matching them up in comparison, you might find yourself annoying to someone or some group. So let's start.
The Druids was exempt from work also. But the Disciples went back to fishing for awhile. The Apostle Paul was a tent maker and handyman with related tasks. But yet they continued to take the Gospel to different parts of the world.
False Prophets love the public eye. They expand their noticeably to gain prestige. It's not necessarily about truth. It's about being worship. In other words, surrounded by a fan club. In other words, liberal television ministries.
The question is, what should we call someone who brings the Gospel to you and they are your mentor? How about calling them by their name. A mentor is an instructor, but should be called brother or sister.
A mentor is an experienced and trusted person who gives another person advice. Without the prestige of being called Father or professor, these instructors serve others by bringing them knowledge. Wisdom cannot be learned or taught. Wisdom comes out of another dimension.
The greatest living thing on the farm is the Farmer that owns the farm. But yet he is the servant to all the cattle, birds and his family. He buys things like children's clothes for his child. This is like Yahuah Elohiym. He purchased spiritual freedom for us by asking His Word made flesh to be a sacrifice. This is something the world cannot do through knowledge. We can only ask for salvation by Wisdom.
Adam and Eve would tell you that they got scammed by Heylel BenSahar. He was the Cherub that rebelled against Yahuah Elohiym. It was Heylel BenSahar that brought in Death to gain what Elohiym gave to Adam. This was the first recorded event of a hostel corporate takeover. Yahuah of Hosts, (today after the Crucifixion and Resurrection is known as Jesus Christ) had a working relationship with Adam and Eve with the characteristics of a corporation. By introducing Death to Adam and Eve, their part of the cooperation fell into Heylel BenSahar's control. This is because Adam and Eve submitted, made a contract with the Reptilian Cherub for prestige. Adam and Eve a free soul was now controlled by Death. By Satan becoming a manager over Adam and Eve, Satan would own religion on this Earth. Satan would bring in the worship of mankind and himself to block the view of us seeing Yahuah Elohiym.
So is all religion bad? Maybe. But let's look closely. There was great men and women that were called Methodist or Baptist and other names, but it was the Holy Spirit that was in them that was the life behind their sermons that they gave. It wasn't for prestige, it was that they directly served Yahuah Elohiym, not a Bishop over them. They were a servant of the Most High.
If you really need a list to be a Brother or Sister, a servant of Yahusha Hamashia. Here it is.
1. Remain in the World of Yahuah Elohiym.
2. Know the Truth of Yahuah Elohiym's Word.
3. Make more disciples.
4. Be baptized in the Holy Spirit and spiritual fire and baptize others.
5. Recognize the authority given to you from heaven.
6. Have brotherly and sisterly love for all people. Then you will receive recognition.
7. Realize that you didn't choose yourself or chosen by a brother or sister. You were appointed to bear spiritual fruit by Yahuah Elohiym.
Our relationship with Yahusha Hamashia will change once transfigured into a glorified body. This new body will enter Heaven and return with Yahusha Hamashia to Earth. It's written that we will be a kingdom of priests. But if we are told not to call anyone Priest, is that counterintuitive?
The Revelation of Yahusha Hamashia, which Elohiym gave Him to show to His slaves the things which must soon happen; and He indicated this by sending it through His angel to His slave John, who bore witness to the word of Elohiym and to the witness of Yahusha Hamashia, even to all that he saw. Revelation 1:1-2
The Apostle John was called a slave along with those who had a chance to read Revelation. Slaves cannot be Priest unless they are no longer a slave and born into the priesthood.
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy and keep the things which are written in it, for the time is near. Revelation 1:3
To be blessed is to be better off, to be happy with how the situation turns out. Blessed is to experience Matthew 5.
John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace. From the One who is and who was and who is to come, and from the Seven Spirits who are before His throne, and from Yahusha Hamashia, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His Elohiym and Father, to Him be the glory and the might forever and ever. Amen. Revelation 1:4-6
Revelation came from Yahuah the Father, from the Holy Spirit and from Yahuah of Hosts who is Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ. A description is also given so we can identify Yahusha by His deeds. Yahusha released us from being a slave to Satan to the rebellious fallen Cherub Heylel BenSahar. Then we can be born again into the priesthood of Yahusha Hamashia.
Those who believe in Yahusha are being transformed and will be transfigured into a kingdom of Priests or Priestess. The group of believers as a whole is considered to be a bride. The feminine form of priest is Priestess. She the bride submits to Yahusha Hamashia our masculine High Priest. Notice that no glory is held back. All glory belongs to the Father Yahuah Elohiym.
"To Him be the glory and the might forever and ever". Glory is feminine in this verse. Might does not have a gender. Bringing the two nouns together, it is to say the Bride of Yahusha will honor Yahuah the Father because it is in her heart to do so. Her strength that was given to her, she will use in service for Yahuah Elohiym.
I see it like this. If you are given an endless supply of fuel for your truck that was given to you also, you would be happy to serve the one supplying the fuel and the truck. The profit from the haul wouldn't do you any good if you cannot send it on yourself anyway.
It's like nature also. If we remove water from the Earth, the water cycle would end. Removing or holding back Glory and might from Yahuah is the end of the blessings coming back to us. To keep it is to loose it. To give it is to multiple it. To be a servant is to be a Priest or Priestess in Yahuah's Kingdom.
Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. Yes, amen. Revelation 1:7
Yahusha Hamashia kept the scars from the nails by choice. It's a badge that represents what He did. The Jews will see what their grandfathers did. Rome will mourn also. To see Yahusha return is to realize the counterfeit religion you worshiped and lived for. Is Judaism a false religion? They have tradition but they lost their way because of being blinded by corruption.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says Yahuah Elohiym, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8
We as humans can only understand something that has a beginning and the end of things. Yahuah is the beginning and the end. In other words, Yahuah is before the beginning and past the the end of all things. Yahuah Elohiym has it. He will destroy Satan the fallen Cherub once called Heylel BenSahar. He will destroy Death. We willingly serve a just Elohiym who punished Earth because we find life in Him for ourselves. Satan, Heylel BenSahar the fallen Reptilian Cherub is about Lawlessness. In Him there is death for our neighbors, worldly gain cannot hold back Death.
