"One of themselves, even one of their own Prophets said, The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
This witness is true: wherefore convince them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith."

Titus 1

For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
Romans 9:17 ESV

Pharaoh was temporarily elevated, not because he deserved it, but because God’s judgment against him would be even more apparent because of the height from which he fell. God requires protagonists and antagonists to carry the plot of salvation to the end. One he chooses to lead his people, another he chooses to correct them, and yet another he chooses as an object lesson to the world.

This doesn't say anything about Pharaoh's eternal destiny. His election was to a role in the liberation of the Hebrews. While it seems unlikely that he had a last minute repentance as the sea closed in on him, we can't really know.

Here are some Torah Scriptures in Yeshua that contain the Apocrypha and other books such as Enoch, Jubilees and Jasher. Which one do you prefer?

For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.
Romans 9:15-16 ESV

This is a quote from Exodus 33:19. The context concerns choosing Moses to lead the people, allowing him to experience God’s presence, and God leading Israel through the wilderness, so that all the nations will know that they are God’s people.

Although, in principle, “election” in Romans 8-9 certainly has bearing on the salvation of each person, it isn’t directly about choosing Moses or Jacob for eternal life, but for a particular role to play in God’s plan of salvation.

This seems to be a hot topic lately (at least to me) and I finally have some thoughts to offer. Enjoy! https://afflicted4messiah.word....press.com/2025/02/02

Can We REALLY Keep The Feasts Outside Jerusalem? | Afflicted 4 Messiah

I've been confronted quite a few times over the last year over whether or not a believer can or SHOULD keep the feasts- right now, outside Jerusalem, and for me, I have the conviction that we can and we should. However, with that being said, is
