Torah to the Tribes - A podcast by Matthew Nolan - Sundays

PART 2 – Ch.3 3:6 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach says to the Yisraelite congregations. 7 And to the angel of the congregation in Philadelphia write; These things says He that is kadosh, He that is true, He that has the key of Dawid, He that opens, and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens; 8 I know your works: see, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it: for you have little strength, but have kept My word, and have not denied My Name. The name The Key The Point The Jew The Amien The Beginning 1. The Name: Philadelphia, one of the Two Witnesses – Philadelphia and Smyrna, neither contain disapproval or reproach.  Philadelphia was prosperous, yet it was subject to major earthquakes. The earthquake in 17CE leveled 12 cities of Asia overnight and Philadelphia was hit hardest as it was right near the fault line.  Philadelphia gets it’s name, commemorating the loyalty and devotion Attalus had to his brother, and this is what earned him the moniker, Philadelphus, “lover of his brother.”   2. The Key: the Key of David: Yahusha has the key of David, a metaphorical expression indicating complete control over the royal priesthood. Isa 22:15 Thus saith יהוה Tseba, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say, 16  What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock? 17  Behold, יהוה will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.18  He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord’s house.19  And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down. 20  And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: 21  And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. 22  And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. 23  And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house. 24  And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons. 25  In that day, saith יהוה Tseba, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for יהוה hath spoken it. 3. The point:  Just as Shebna who was removed from office and and replaced with Eliakim. So has the Levitical Priesthood been removed and replaced with Him who holds the keys to his priests entrance into it.  Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new ??????, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new PRIESTHOOD, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.  9 See, I will make them of the synagogue of s.a.tan, who say they are Yahudim, and are not, but do lie; see, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept the word of My endurance, I also will shomer you in the hour of testing, which shall come upon all of the olam hazeh, to test them that dwell in the olam.11 See, I come quickly: hold fast to what you have, that no man takes your keter. 4. The Jew: Deut 30:6, who’s a Jew? Nothing has changed…30:6 And the יהוה your elohim will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you will love יהוה  your elohim  with all your heart and wi
