Modern theologies (i.e. Dispensationalism<\/span><\/em>) creates a division between the Church and Israel.\u00a0 According to this view, the Church consists of those trusting Christ, while Israel consists of the physical descendants of Jacob where Israel receives the benefit of the Abrahamic covenant because she is still God\u2019s chosen people.\u00a0 The doctrine of dispensationalism essentially creates two separate peoples.\u00a0 Scofield wrote in his commentary saying \u201cThe Jew was promised an earthly inheritance, earthly wealth, earthly honor, earthly power. The Church is promised no such thing, but is pointed always to heaven as the place where she is to receive her rest and her reward.\u201d<\/span><\/em>\u00a0 Scofield was a dispensationalist and his theology produces a confused and torn understanding of the bible where the Lord God in heaven loves two separate peoples with a segregation of the promises given in the Scriptures.\u00a0 The Apostle Paul however emphasized that both the Jew and Gentile become one family as the children of God when he said, \u201cThere is neither Jew nor Greek…for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ\u2019s, then are ye Abraham\u2019s seed, and heirs according to the promise\u201d<\/span><\/em> (Galatians 3:28-29<\/span><\/em>).\u00a0 These theologies significantly effect our understanding of the covenants of God as it is related to understanding the place of the Jew and the Gentile in the present day and future eschatological events.<\/p>\n In Parashat Bereshit, we are told of the power and majesty of God in the creation account.\u00a0 The Lord God is all powerful, He created the heavens and the earth tohu u\u2019vohu (\u05ea\u05b9\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc \u05d5\u05b8\u05d1\u05b9\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc, from nothing).\u00a0 He loves His creation and desires for every many woman and child to seek Him and His ways.\u00a0 This was the Lord\u2019s objective from the beginning.\u00a0 This understanding may be found in Bereshit \/ Genesis 2:7-25<\/span><\/em>.

2:7<\/span><\/em> (Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath {neshamah, \u05e0\u05e9\u05de\u05d4} of life; and man became a living being {nefesh, \u05e0\u05e4\u05e9}.<\/span><\/em>)\u00a0 The rabbis interpret the word neshamah (\u05e0\u05e9\u05de\u05d4) in Bereshit \/ Genesis 2:7<\/span><\/em> as a reference to the divine soul by reason that the Lord God of Israel breathed heavily into man, imparting a part of Himself, which is the part that fulfills the statement of being created after His image.\u00a0 The word neshamah is used here to place emphasis upon the Lord putting more effort into the creation of man as opposed to the other creatures of this earth.\u00a0 This is the reference to the part of man that has the desire to draw near to the Lord and to seek His ways.\u00a0 Note how there is no distinction that is made between men, women, or children according to these Scriptures and there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile either.\u00a0 All of mankind, each individual has been given this duality of creation of spirit and flesh.<\/p>\n In the Apostolic Writings, the neshamah (\u05e0\u05e9\u05de\u05d4) is referred to as the \u201cspirit\u201d<\/span><\/em> of a man.\u00a0 According to the theology of Paul, this spirit within a man is dead until it has been made alive by salvation through faith in the Messiah, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit of God.\u00a0 King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 12:7 \u201cThen the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it,\u201d so the idea is that the neshamah (the divine soul) is created and leaves its abode in heaven to dwell in the human body, whereby the death of the body, the spirit will return to God.\u00a0 This is one of the source texts for Judaism\u2019s interpretation that at death our spirit will return to the Lord God in heaven.\u00a0 Our being, who we are, it is the combination of the neshamah and the nefesh that produce the personality of each individual on this earth.\u00a0 David said in his Psalm, \u05d0\u00a0\u00a0 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05e8\u05b2\u05db\u05b4\u05d9

The Hebrew word ruach means \u201cwind,\u201d \u201cbreath,\u201d or \u201cspirit\u201d and \u201ctruth\u201d<\/span><\/em> and is the manner in which Job used this word saying, \u201cAs long as I have life within me, the breath (ruach) of God in my nostrils\u201d (Job 27:3)<\/span><\/em>.\u00a0 The word r\u00fbach (\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05d7\u05b7), the traditional Jewish interpretation is \u201cwind,\u201d as \u201cspirit,\u201d as it is related to God\u2019s messengers of fire.\u00a0 If we consider the NT (Apostolic Writings) connection, ruach may also be used as a reference to the neshamah, the divine soul.\u00a0 This is how Job appears to be speaking of the r\u00fbach (\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05d7\u05b7) in Job 27:3.\u00a0 David is speaking of the Lord setting on fire this aspect of man, his Neshamah, his divine soul, that part that has come from God, as His ministers.\u00a0 This is related to a distinctive change at the center of a persons life that is connected to one\u2019s relationship with God.\u00a0 A parallel thought may be found in the act of obedience to the command as it is related to sin, Teshuvah (Repentance), and the Mikvah (baptism).\u00a0 The Mikvah was a physical demonstration of a believers faith to turn his life over to the Lord, of his death to sin, and his returning to the way, the commands of God, and\u00a0 to walk in newness of life.\u00a0 This is the testimony of each believer, to be changed by Lord in a unique way and to live a life that has overcome sin by the power of God.\u00a0 These things appear to be related to the New Covenant that we have in the Messiah, as Yohanan HaMatbil (John the Baptist) said in Matthew 3:11, Mark 1:8, and Luke 3:1<\/span><\/em>6.<\/p>\n Matthew 3:11<\/span><\/em><\/strong> Mark 1:8<\/span><\/em><\/strong> Luke 3:16<\/span><\/em><\/strong> John speaks of a time when the Messiah will come, in which he will baptize us with the Holy Spirit of God and with fire.\u00a0 Note the connection to the neshamah (\u05e0\u05e9\u05de\u05d4) the divine soul, to our relationship with God, seeking Him and His will for our lives, and our relationships with others.\u00a0 The baptism of the Holy Spirit, this setting on fire comes by seeking first the kingdom of heaven and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33<\/span><\/em>).\u00a0 Could this be the underlying principle in regard to how the Lord will be working in our lives, reviving and raising us from the dead by the renewing of the neshamah, \u05e0\u05e9\u05de\u05d4, which then causes us to have the desire to live according to God\u2019s Word?\u00a0 Could the power of God be held back because of these things being lacking in the modern Church theologies of today? (ie. Faith alone doctrines)\u00a0 Isaiah said in Isaiah 4:4 When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and purged the bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning (NASB)<\/span><\/em>\u00a0 Here he mentions the pride of Israel and a day coming when the Lord will bring the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning upon the people.\u00a0 What is the spirit of judgment and burning?\u00a0 Could this be a conviction of heart and soul concerning sin as it is related to the indwelling of God\u2019s Holy Spirit?<\/p>\n Rambam on the Mishnah Sanhedrin 10:1 Part 1 has the following to say concerning these things.<\/p>\n Rambam on Mishnah Sanhedrin 10:1 Part 1<\/span><\/em><\/strong> Note how Rambam states the resurrection (revival) of the dead is a fundamental principle of Moshe our teacher.\u00a0 It is interesting how the Torah is understood as producing an expectation of resurrection.\u00a0 Have you ever thought about that before?\u00a0 Where in the Torah does Moshe teach resurrection?\u00a0 Moshe brought the Torah to Israel, the holy Word of God , which was to produce in the people a turning from sin.\u00a0 This turning from sin is equated to the resurrection (revival) of the dead at the mountain of Sinai (See the rabbinic interpretations on Midrash Tehillim 62-72 for more on Sinai and the resurrection.).\u00a0 The turning from sin is equated to the revival of the dead because of the renewing of the neshamah, \u05e0\u05e9\u05de\u05d4, which causes us to have the desire to live according to God\u2019s Word.\u00a0 Isaiah said the Lord\u2019s Spirit is fire, and for the one whom the Lord dwells, the Holy Spirit will set his life on fire and with power.\u00a0 This fire is the excitation of the faith and life of someone to live for and bring glory to God by the way one lives his or her life.\u00a0 This is the significance of the duality of all man as a Combination of Neshamah (\u05e0\u05e9\u05de\u05d4) and Nefesh (\u05e0\u05e4\u05e9), where the Lord has the capability of doing these things for all who would draw near and believe in the Lord and in His Word.<\/p>\n The effect of disobedience by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is the legacy that was left to all mankind.\u00a0 It is this duality of man that is at war within the members of the body (Romans 7:23). The Covenant the Lord made with Adam and Even is found in Bereshit \/ Genesis 1:26-30 and 2:16-17<\/span><\/em>.\u00a0 The details of this covenant include the following:<\/p>\n As the narrative proceeds, Eve was tempted to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.\u00a0 It was not wrong for Adam and Eve to want to be \u201cgod-like,\u201d<\/span><\/em> in the sense to mirror God\u2019s characteristics, which is a good and worthy goal.\u00a0 But having the desire to become a god and take His place is rebellion against the Lord God in heaven and sin.\u00a0 What had happened was Adam and Eve had entered into a family relationship with God through a Covenant, as God our Father and we are His children.\u00a0 Having family is very important, where the Lord Recognized that being alone is not good (Bereshit \/ Genesis 2:18<\/span><\/em>).\u00a0 It was for this reason the Lord created a woman as a wife (\u05d0\u05b4\u05e9\u05bc\u05c1\u05b8\u05d4) for Adam.<\/p>\n Bereshit \/ Genesis 2:22-25<\/span><\/em><\/strong> Adam said she is bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh.\u00a0 There was an intimacy that was established as Adam accepted and took her to be his wife.\u00a0 Note how the world seeks to pervert the definition of the family that God had designed from the beginning.\u00a0 A family was created, which is the reason the Scriptures say, 2:24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

\n 2:15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. 2:16 The Lord God commanded the man, saying, \u2018From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 2:17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.\u2019 2:18 Then the Lord God said, \u2018It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.\u2019 2:19 Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. 2:20 The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. 2:21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 2:22 The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. 2:23 The man said, \u2018This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.\u2019 2:24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. 2:25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
