That was such a powerful and deeply moving message brother Sergio Your words brought great understanding and light to the covenant story of God You’ve beautifully reminded us that the Bible is not a collection of separate stories but one living covenant from Genesis to Revelation rooted in God’s unchanging faithfulness to His people Romans 11:17-18 speaks clearly about this saying If some of the branches have been broken off and you though a wild olive shoot have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches You do not support the root but the root supports you That truth brings such humility to the heart and reminds us that we as Gentiles are not replacements but receivers of grace through the promises given to Israel Your explanation of the Scriptures being memory not mythology truly touched my spirit It reminds us that every page of the Word reveals God’s covenant love that never fails or changes as Isaiah 40:8 says The grass withers the flower fades but the word of our God will stand forever Brother from your teachings I am learning so much and I am sharing these truths with my congregation here in India We are studying the Word together and growing in the understanding of God’s covenant plan and His mercy toward all nations Please keep our ministry and our children in your prayers especially as Christmas is near We are praying to bless the little ones with small gifts and food so they may experience the love of Yeshua in a special way May God continue to bless your ministry with deeper wisdom and revelation and may many be drawn closer to the heart of God through your writings and teachings
Many so called Christians take the fruit of salvation but as you made the point, they walk away from the tree of Israel into which they were grafted. This tree is actually the tree of life and Yeshua said "I am the tree, you are the branches, abide in me and you will bear much fruit. If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned.…" The root of this tree made up by the faithful people of Israel throughout the generations and without them, we fall.
It is not enough to have mental knowledge of good and bad from the Bible. This fruit is not something we should take, but produce by the nourishing of the tree of life or else will be kicked out of the garden like the first Adam.
I believe that the tree of life is the same tree that produces the fruit of the knowledge of good and bad, which is in the middle of the Garden. Aleph Beta has a great podcast called A Book Like No Other in which they make a very convincing argument in their first season about this.
By the way, the leaves of this tree are for the healing of the nations.
That’s such a deep and beautiful reflection You’re absolutely rightvmany today want the blessings of salvation without the abiding that produces true fruit Yeshua’s words in John 15:4-6 remind us clearly Remain in Me as I also remain in you No branch can bear fruit by itself it must remain in the vine Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me I am the vine you are the branches If you remain in Me and I in you you will bear much fruit apart from Me you can do nothing This life of abiding isn’t about just knowing good and evil it’s about being rooted in the very life of God Himself Romans 11:17 also speaks powerfully to what you mentioned If some of the branches have been broken off and you though a wild olive shoot have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches We Gentiles were graciously grafted into the covenant people of God not to replace Israel but to be nourished by the same holy root And yes Revelation 22:2 completes that beautiful image On each side of the river stood the tree of life bearing twelve crops of fruit yielding its fruit every month And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations What a promise When we remain connected to Yeshua the true Tree of Life we don’t just live we bring healing restoration and hope to others through His Spirit May we stay grafted in and let His life flow through us so that the world can taste and see that the Lord is good
I love this! You explain it in such a clear and beautiful way. I get frustrated by the fact that believers often overlook the Hebraic root of the faith, because they believe that two-thirds of the book (the foundations) have been done away with.

Yes, thank you for this.
I've really been blessed by your posts and your clarity, and the way you're able to bring the history and the point home,
keep up the good work
Thank you Keith! You made my day.

Ha, I love how you commented! Thank you and ... Amen!
Typical me, I always click on something and end up in the wrong place!
