I remember many years ago I had just bought my first house, what a big step that was! But it was a new development housing. So much work lay ahead of us, this property needed a yard. Much landscaping lay ahead for us to do. First I tried to plant grass, that didn't work very good. So the next season, sod was laid down and we had instant lawn! Awesome! Next Trees and shrubbery. We planted shrubs along the border of the house, then we planned for some trees. Planted some seedlings, but they didn't do so well and they died. So next step, instant big tree. Bought a tree that was already mature, about 5 yrs old, with a trunk about 3-4 inches. Great, instant shade! after a few years the tree, even though it was a very good start, it just was not growing! It had stayed the same size over the first few years. I was a little depressed about that, but I just reasoned that was going to be the size of the tree and I might as well get comfortable with it. Besides it was a nice looking tree, just wasn't going to be very big.
Well one day I had a friend over and we were discussing this tree. This friend had gone to school to be a Botanist, so he knew a little bit about plants and such. He instructed me the reason my tree wasn't growing any bigger is because the soil that I had planted the tree in had a high content of clay. Clay is very compact and the roots of the tree just couldn't grow. That is why the tree wasn't growing. He explained to me that the visible portion of the tree was only a mirror image of what lied underneath in the soil. How the roots went, so did the upper, visible tree. The branches, the leaves, and the seed and fruit of the tree, whatever type of tree that it was. Healthy root system, healthy tree. Now my tree was a healthy tree, in fact I planted this tree 30 yrs ago, and when I drive by my old property that same tree is still there, same size as what it was when I planted it. The roots just cannot penetrate the hard compacted clay soil. No growth.
Some interesting things about trees, the roots support the trunk and branches of the tree. The root system is the backbone of the tree's life. The heart if you will. Another interesting thing about a tree, if a branch is damaged, the root will try and repair the damage. But if the damage is too bad, beyond repair, the branch will dry up and eventually fall off. But in it's stead another branch will grow. Looking at a fruit tree, this type of tree needs to be pruned every so often. This is important for a healthy fruit tree, so that it can bear fruit. How this tree is pruned determines the type of fruit it will produce. With an over abundance of fruit, the fruit will have a tendency to be small. On the other hand, if you limit the amount of fruit the tree bears, though you will have less fruit, the fruit it produces will be substantially larger. This is determined by the farmer, or orchard tender.
Now let's get to the heart of the matter. In this world we live in there are many, many choices that we all make day to day. These choices will determine how our lives are played out, this life and the life to come. And these choices not only affect us, but it also effects the ones that are close to us. For the good and the bad. Though there are many choices we all have to contemplate, there are only two paths in this world to follow. I know that might seem over simplified with all the choices and confusion that there are in this world, but that is the truth of the matter. Two very distinct ways, two very opposite paths that we all have to choose to follow.
Two thousand years ago a Jewish Rabbi from the small town of Nazareth in the region of Galilee, north of Judea, north of Jerusalem, came teaching a way of life, this teaching seemed very new, very radical, but the fact of the matter HIS teaching was of ancient times, from the beginning of time. His teaching was from the Hebrew scriptures, which was Torah. Most English Bibles translate this Hebrew word as Law, but that is really not what it means. Torah is Almighty G-D's teaching for all HIS children. Like shooting an arrow at a target, aiming for the mark. This is HIS WAY! This is what the Jewish Rabbi from Nazareth taught. He taught this Torah to all who would hear for a little over three years. He also performed many great miracles while teaching the people of the Judean country and the surrounding areas. Moses spoke of this Jewish Rabbi that would come, he would be like Moses, HE would have G-D's words in HIS mouth, HIS teaching would be straight from G-D. In the Tanakh / Old Testament, in the book of Deuteronomy / Devarim, it is written, chapter 18:18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee(Moses), and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 18:19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto (G-D's) my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. He spoke that HE would not eliminate Torah, but Torah was forever. HE came to fulfill, or make the Torah complete; Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law (Torah), or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law (Torah), till all be fulfilled. Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. This Jewish Rabbi came to fulfill the Torah by HIS obedience, but also to make the Torah complete, teaching the very application of Torah in which will free every soul from the bondage of the law of sin.
This Jewish Rabbi taught that there were two paths that one may follow. Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it. 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 7:17 Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 7:19 Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
This Jewish Rabbi that I have been speaking of is no other than Yeshua et Natzrati ha Mashiach, Jesus of Nazareth the Messiah. He came to redeem HIS people (G-D's people), Israel back to HIMSELF, back to G-D. Redeem them from what? From the bondage of sin. And to restore the Kingdom of Israel, (we have yet to see this fulfilled completely). And this HE did. HE taught HIS people Torah, HE laid down HIS perfect life for a substitution, the Righteous for the Unrighteous. HE purchased us with HIS life. Then HE rose from the dead three days later. Then HE ascended to the Right Hand of the Throne of The Eternal Majesty. Over time this Good News of the Kingdom has been corrupted. It has been a slow falling away, the Assembly HE started originally was all Jewish people, following the Jewish WAY that G-D originally taught the Children of Israel. Over time the Good News was delivered unto the Nations (Gentiles), these Gentile nations were grafted into the Olive Tree of Israel. No new teaching, just a return to Torah, the Torah from the very beginning of time. This is what the G-D of Israel had intended, to teach and establish a nation of Priests to teach the world HIS WAYS, to reveal HIMSELF to the world. That is what the Olive Tree of Israel is, G-D's nation of Priests. All are called to be grafted into this Tree through the Messiah of Israel, Yeshua ha Mashiach / Jesus of Nazareth the Messiah. One faith, One House, One G-D, One Spirit, One Messiah. Over time the pagan world of Sun worship infiltrated the faith of Messiah. Now the faith that was once delivered unto the Saints is very hard to recognize. Jud 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. This has happened. So now it is time to return to the Roots of the Faith! Return to the Roots that give and support life! These roots are the original teaching that G-D had instructed the Nation of Israel, the People of Israel, that the Messiah Yeshua taught when HE walked this earth. When G-D walked among men!
For the Olive Tree of Israel to be healthy and grow, it has to be supported by the precious Roots, established in good fertile soil. Watered and nurtured by G-D HIMSELF.
The Letter to the Romans speaks of this better than I could:
Rom 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Rom 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. What does the scripture saith of Elias? how he makes intercession to God against Israel, saying,
Rom 11:3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and brought down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
Rom 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
Rom 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Rom 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Rom 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeks for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
Rom 11:8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
Rom 11:9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense unto them:
Rom 11:10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always.
Rom 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Rom 11:12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?
Rom 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Rom 11:14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
Rom 11:15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
Rom 11:16 For if the first fruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
Rom 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakes of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Rom 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
Rom 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
Rom 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou stands by faith. Be not high minded, but fear:
Rom 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Rom 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graff them in again.
Rom 11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
The Olive Tree of Israel is made up of two people, Jewish and Gentile people, from all walks of life, many nations, many tribes, but all are brought into this Olive Tree of Israel through The Messiah of Israel, ONE NEW MAN! It is time we put away all false teaching, and return to the G-D of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel).
It is time for G-D's people to come out of Babylon, the Harlot that deceives the whole world, the time is short:
Jer 51:6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD'S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense.
Jer 51:7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
Jer 51:8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Rev 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Rev 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
This last verse speaks of Jerusalem but it also explains very clearly who Babylon is, You see Babylon is made up of three parts, (1) Wealth,(2) Strength,(3)Spirit. This is essential to know who Babylon is. G-D's people MUST come out of her, NOW! Before it is too late!
The G-D of all creation chose a way to reveal Himself to this fallen world, He chose a man, Abraham, and in His seed G-D would reveal HIMSELF to this world. Through this seed we are given the nation or children of Israel. and through Israel, which is called an Olive Tree, G-D has revealed His WAY of life, HE has revealed who HE is, through this nation of Israel. Also through this nation of Israel we are given a Redeemer, ONE that was from ancient times, ONE that was in the beginning, before creation existed. This Redeemer, G-D Himself became man, and walked the face of this earth. He was from a little town called Nazareth, in the region of Galilee, north of Judea, also known as the nation of Israel. This man was a Jewish Rabbi, HE came as a humble servant. HIS name? Y'shua the Messiah, Ben Elohim, Son of G-D, HE taught that if you seen HIM, then you had seen THE FATHER which is in Heaven. HE is the root of the Olive Tree, Israel. HE supports the tree which is Israel. This tree can do nothing without HIM supporting the tree. HE gives life to the tree, HE also has the authority to remove branches and also to graft new branches on this tree. So all HIS children are ONE TREE. Not only this, but HE has the power to add back branches to this tree, that were once removed because of unbelief, but coming to belief these branches can be added back. He even has the power to add branches from a wild tree to this Olive Tree. So that there is only ONE TREE, ONE WAY, ONE FAITH. Remember that the roots of this tree are a Jewish Rabbi, HIS ways are Jewish.
Yeshua the Messiah spoke to us there are 2 Gates, 2 Ways, 2 Paths, which one will you enter and follow? HIS Gate, HIS Path, or the path of Babylon, the wide path, this is the one which leads to destruction.
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 7:14 Because strait is the gate(Yeshua), and narrow is the way(Torah of G-D of Israel), which leads unto life, and few there be that find it.
The Choice my friend is yours....
Shalom and Blessings!

This Redeemer, G-D Himself became man, and walked the face of this earth. He was from a little town called Nazareth, in the region of Galilee, north of Judea, also known as the nation of Israel. This man was a Jewish Rabbi, HE came as a humble servant. HIS name? Y'shua the Messiah, Ben Elohim, Son of G-D, HE taught that if you seen HIM, then you had seen THE FATHER which is in Heaven. HE is the root of the Olive Tree, Israel. HE supports the tree which is Israel. This tree can do nothing without HIM supporting the tree. HE gives life to the tree, HE also has the authority to remove branches and also to graft new branches on this tree. So all HIS children are ONE TREE. Not only this, but HE has the power to add back branches to this tree, that were once removed because of unbelief, but coming to belief these branches can be added back. He even has the power to add branches from a wild tree to this Olive Tree. So that there is only ONE TREE, ONE WAY, ONE FAITH. Remember that the roots of this tree are a Jewish Rabbi, HIS ways are Jewish.
Yeshua the Messiah spoke to us there are 2 Gates, 2 Ways, 2 Paths, which one will you enter and follow? HIS Gate, HIS Path, or the path of Babylon, the wide path, this is the one which leads to destruction.
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 7:14 Because strait is the gate(Yeshua), and narrow is the way(Torah of G-D of Israel), which leads unto life, and few there be that find it.
The Choice my friend is yours....
Shalom and Blessings!
