A Tale of the 2 Covenants/2 Israels (Part 2)
If you would like to go to Part 1, click here.
The Old Covenant was a type/shadow to lead to Yeshua our Mediator, His Body as the Temple, His Perfect Sacrifice, and an eternal inheritance. In order for the Second Covenant (Issac/Spirit) to properly inherit, then the First Covenant (Ishmael/Flesh) had to be cast out.This is why the Flesh is nailed to the Cross.
Gal 5:24And those who are of Messiah have IMPALED THE FLESH with its passions and the desires.
When Messiah was crucified it was the FLESH that died, the veil of the flesh had to be cast off(circumcised) going from Flesh to Spirit. From Ishmael to Isaac. The Marriage Covenant after the Flesh was nailed to the cross that contained the fleshly ordinances, the law of the flesh(book of the law) .
•Hebrews 10:20by a new and living way which He instituted for us, THROUGH THE VEIL, THAT IS, HIS FLESH, (ISR 98)
•Eph 2:15HAVING ABOLISHED IN HIS FLESH the enmity, EVEN THE LAW OF COMMANDMENTS CONTAINES IN ORDINANCES; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;(KJV)
•Col 2: 11In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in PUTTING OFF THE BODY OF THE SINS OF THE FLESH BY THE CIRCUMCISION OF CHRIST: 12Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13And you, BEING DEAD IN YOUR SINS AND THE UNCIRCUMCISION OF YOUR FLESH, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;14Blotting out the HANDWRITING OF ORDINANCES that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;(KJV)
Once that Marriage Covenant became void upon the death of Messiah ALL could come into a NEW Covenant, a New Marriage after the Spirit, to include the House of Israel that was divorced. The New Covenant brought forth everlasting inheritance, built on a better foundation, and better promises, with Messiah as the Cornerstone. Then the destruction/wrath of Ishmael (Israel) after the Flesh came in 70 AD, and the House of Judah was destroyed and those that remained were scattered out of the land.
So, when Messiah died, He brought the two sticks, the two houses together into His Hand(creating ONE NEW MAN):
♦John 11:51But he did not say this from himself, but being high priest that year he prophesied that יהושע WAS ABOUT TO DIE for the nation(House of Judah),
52and not for the nation only(House of Judah), BUT TO GATHER INTO ONE the children of Elohim who were scattered abroad(House of Israel/Ephraim).
This was the Fulfillment of Ezek 37:19-22:
Ezek 37:19say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, I am taking the stick of Yosĕph, which is in the hand of Ephrayim, and the tribes of Yisra’ĕl, his companions. And I shall give them unto him, with the stick of Yehuḏah, and make them ONE STICK, AND THEY SHALL **BE ONE** IN MY HAND.” ’
20“And the sticks on which you write shall be in your hand before their eyes.
21“And speak to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “SEE, I AM TAKING THE CHILDREN OF Yisra’ĕl from AMONG THE GENTILES, WHEREVER THEY HAVE GONE, and shall gather them from all around, and I shall bring them into their land.
22“AND I SHALL MAKE THEM ONE NATION in the land, on the mountains of Yisra’ĕl. And one sovereign shall be sovereign over them all, and LET THEM NO LONGER BE TWO NATIONS, and let them no longer be divided into two reigns.
♦Eph 2:13But now in Messiah יהושע YOU WHO WERE ONCE FAR OFF HAVE BEEN BROUGHT NEAR BY THE BLOOD OF THE MESSIAH.
14For He is our peace, WHO HAS MADE BOTH ONE, and having broken down the partition of the barrier,
15having abolished in His flesh the enmity – the Torah of the commands in dogma – so as to create in Himself ONE RENEWED MAN FROM THE TWO, thus making peace,
16and to completely restore to favour both of them unto Elohim IN ONE BODY through the stake, having destroyed the enmity by it.
This is why all those who push “Two Sticks/Two House/Big brother Judah”, or promote the physical land of Israel is a lie, and is one of the greatest deceptions of the enemy. The Old Covenant (The Bondwoman and her son) Israel after the flesh, WERE CAST OUT!!!
Moses was the mediator of the Old Covenant, and a type/shadow to Yeshua becoming the Mediator of the New Covenant. In such, Moses, as I see, also represents the first Adam, after corruption(Flesh), and a forerunner to Yeshua the Second Adam, after incorruption(Spirit).
1 Cor 15:42So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable. 43It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. 44It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
46The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual. 47The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. 48As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man.
The Carnal/Flesh had to come first (as Ishmael also came first) and in such the carnal ordinances were always going to be a part of the plan, to include physical sacrifices and a physical temple. However, before the Levitical Priesthood was even established, initially all the people were going to be priests and offer up sacrifices themselves:
•Ex 19:3And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD(YHWH) called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself. 5Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be A PECULIAR TREASURE UNTO ME above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6AND YE SHALL BE UNTO ME A KINGDOM OF PRIESTS, AND AN HOLY NATION. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
7And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD(YHWH) commanded him. 8And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD(YHWH) hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD(YHWH). 9And the LORD(YHWH) said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD(YHWH).
10And the LORD(YHWH) said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and SANCTIFY THEM to day and to morrow, and LET THEM WASH THEIR CLOTHES, 11AND BE READY AGAINST THE THIRD DAY; FOR THE LORD(YHWH) WILL COME DOWN IN THE SIGHT OF ALL THE PEOPLE upon mount Sinai.(KJV)
Now, what is also amazing concerning this passage, is that it was a foreshadow to those coming into the New Covenant as a Holy Nation(Isaac) also called the House of Jacob(Israel) and priests offering up spiritual sacrifices. As well as Yeshua coming from Mt.Zion when He rose from the dead on the THIRD DAY, bringing corruption to incorruption, and washing our garments from sin and unrighteousness. 
•1 Peter 2:4To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5Ye also, as lively stones, are BUILT UP A SPIRITUAL HOUSE, AN HOLY PRIESTHOOD, TO OFFER UP SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.(KJV)
•1 Peter 2:9But ye are a chosen generation, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, AN HOLY NATION, A PECULIAR PEOPLE; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.(KJV)
•1 Thes 5:23And the very God of peace SANCTIFY YOU WHOLLY; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (KJV)
•Rev 7:14And I said to him, “Master, you know.” And he said to me, “These are those coming out of the great distress, HAVING WASHED THEIR ROBES AND MADE THEM WHITE IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB.(ISR 98)
•Mat 16:21From that time יהושע began to show to His taught ones that it was necessary for Him to go to Yerushalayim, and to suffer much from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and to be raised again the THIRD DAY.(ISR 98)
•John 2:20Then the Yehuḏim said, “It took forty-six years to build this Dwelling Place, and You are going to raise it in THREE DAYS?”(ISR 98)
At that time, even before the tabernacle in the wilderness was built, the only way that YHWH’s Spirit could dwell among them was in the pillar of cloud/fire then went within the Tent:
•Ex 13:21And יהוה went before them by day in a column of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a column of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night.
22The column of cloud did not cease by day, nor the column of fire by night, before the people.
•Num 9:15And on the day that the Dwelling Place was raised up, the cloud covered the Dwelling Place, the Tent of the Witness. From evening until morning it was above the Dwelling Place like the appearance of fire.
16Thus it was continually: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
YHWH’s Spirit moved to dwell in the tabernacles of men when His Spirit was poured out, as His Spirit is the pledge of our inheritance, and our inheritance is only gained through Messiah Yeshua:
John 7:37And on the last day, the great day of the festival, יהושע stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me, and let him who believes in Me drink.
38“As the Scripture said, out of His innermost shall flow rivers of living water.”
39AND THIS HE SAID CONCERNING THE SPIRIT, WHICH THOSE BELIEVING IN HIM WERE ABOUT TO RECEIVE, FOR THE SET-APART SPIRIT WAS NOT YET GIVEN, because יהושע was not yet esteemed.
This is why we then see the fire coming down on the heads of those in the upper room, and why John the Baptist stated that Yeshua would baptize in fire. This was the pillar of FIRE coming down on the tabernacle of men.
•Acts 2:1And when the Day of the Festival of Weeks had come, they were all with one mind in one place.
2And suddenly there came a sound from the heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3And there appeared to them divided tongues, AS OF FIRE, and settled on each one of them.
•Matthew 3:11“I indeed immerse you in water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to bear. He shall immerse you in the Set-apart Spirit and FIRE.
We see this as a progressive process of redemption, for even now, as our bodies are the Temples, and His Spirit now resides in us, once we receive our heavenly bodies, and are in the eternal promised land, His Spirit will dwell in fullness.
The Old Covenant, along with the fleshly commands was all designed to have a carnal approach-that of a school master. It was a covenant made for those who were of a carnal mindset, and could not receive spiritual matters. This is why everything was a type/shadow, and why YHWH sought to make A NEW COVENANT, not after the flesh, as the flesh cannot inherit, but rather the Spirit.

Hebrews 9:15Because of this, HE IS THE MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVENANT, FOR IN HIS DEATH HE IS SALVATION TO THOSE WHO VIOLATED THE FIRST COVENANT, that we, those who were called to ETERNAL INHERITANCE, would receive The Promise. 16For where there is a testament, it shows the death of him who made it; 17But it is only valid concerning one who is dead, because as long as he who made it lives, there is no use for it. 18Because of this, NOT EVEN THE FIRST(COVENANT) was established without blood. 19For when the ENTIRE ORDINANCE WHICH WAS IN THE LAW had been commanded by Moses to all the people, Moses took the blood of a heifer and water with scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled upon the scrolls and upon all the people. 20And he said to them, “THIS IS THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT which was commanded you by God.” 21Also he sprinkled blood upon the Tabernacle and upon all the vessels of the ministry, 22Because all things are purged by blood in The Written Law, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
Everything sprinkled with the blood of animals was shadow of the blood of Messiah cleansing our temple and vessel from sin and washing us with His Spirit. Even the stone tablets with the commandments represented a shadow of the commandments being written on our hearts as we crucify our flesh and our hearts are no longer made of stone, but flesh.
There is a reason why Moses was not able to enter the promised land, as the covenant he was a mediator of was of the FLESH. It was Joshua(Yehoshua) who led them in, as it was a type and shadow of Yeshua leading the people into the Promised Spiritual ETERNAL inheritance. As NO FLESH can enter into the promised land:
1 Cor 15:50Now this I say, brethren, that FLESH AND BLOOD cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.(KJV)
Our Redeemer takes us out of bondage, into the wilderness, and if we survive and hold fast to our faith, we enter into the promised land flowing with milk and honey.
•Hebrews 7:15And moreover, again, it is apparent by this that he said that another Priest arises in the image of Melchizedek, 16HE WHO WAS NOT BY THE LAW OF CARNAL(FLESHLY) COMMANDMENTS, but by the power of an indestructible life.
•Hebrews 8:6Now Yeshua The Messiah* has received the Ministry which is better than that, as The Covenant of which he is made The Mediator is better, and it is given with better promises than that. 7FOR IF THE FIRST ONE(COVENANT)had been without fault, then there would have been no place for this second(NEW) one.(APE)
•Hebrews 8:13In that he said, “New”, HE HAS MADE THE FIRST OLD, AND THAT WHICH IS OUTDATED AND OLD IS NEAR DESTRUCTION(Why was it ready to vanish away? The Bondservant and her son are fully cast out in 70 AD)
•Hebrews 9:8But by this The Spirit of Holiness had taught that the way of holiness had not yet been revealed, as long as the first Tabernacle was standing. 9And this was a symbol for that time in which gifts and sacrifices were offered, which were not able to perfect the conscience of him who offers them, 10Except in food and drink only, and in various washings, WHICH ARE ORDINANCES OF THE FLESH THAT ARE ESTABLISHED UNTIL the time of reformation.
