Most Christians are taught the feasts of the LORD outlined in Leviticus 23 are Jewish feasts even though careful reading reveals they are actually the Creator’s feast days. When the instructions were given to Moses at Mount Sinai, the tribe of Judah was there and so were all of the other offspring of Isaac. These feast days are not only for the “Jews” but for everyone who joins with the children of Israel who considers our Creator to be the one true God. Exodus 12:49, “The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”

Yeshua said: “In this world you WILL have tribulation” He did not say that “you COULD have tribulation” or “if you are not a good person, tribulation may come your way”. Yeshua stated very clearly that you WILL have tribulation. It is as certain as growing older. But the wonderful promise of the Moshiach is that while you will have trials and tribulation: “Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33)
In this week's episode of The Original Torah Pearls, Vayelech (Deuteronomy 31:1-31:30), we look at how religious traditions can distort God's Torah and how the Torah is so simple the ancient Israelites were expected to obey just by hearing it every seven years.

In this week's episode of Prophet Pearls, Vayelech (Isaiah 55:6-56:8), we look at the promise of non-Jews joining themselves to Yehovah, which is a persistent and straight forward biblical concept often muddied by the metaphysical idea of a “Jewish soul”. Ilana wrote: "As we prepare for Yom Kippur, how appropriate to remind us of the love of יהוה and how with repentance, forgiveness is assured." https://www.nehemiaswall.com/p....rophet-pearls-vayele

I personally believe that Paul has done more damage to the Good News than any other person. The letters ascribed to him are older than the Gospels and I can't find evidence of Paul writing about the teachings of Yeshua so I don't know whether he didn't have access to the Gospels or just didn't care to learn of Yeshua's ministry. His is a message of a divine deity in a cosmic battle brought to him personally through revelations which not even his companions saw.
Even his vision of Yeshua on the road is described in three contradictory ways.
He never speaks of Yeshua's ministry or life and his message is a message to the Romans and then he would change it to be a message to the Jews when he is between them. Only after 3 years of ministry did he go down to Jerusalem for 2 weeks to meet Peter and James and then fought with them about what the message of Yeshua was and how the gentiles should keep it; as a minimum.
Yeshua came for the Jews and repeatedly said so. He sent His disciples to the Jews and invited the nations to join Israel. It is a message of bringing together into Israel so that we will do as Israel was instructed to do.
Paul changed it to be a message of only having to do a limited set of the laws and then faith does the rest. His whole message is about faith and not deeds.
YHWH's whole law is about deeds. Yeshua gave additional examples of how to live the law, but He didn't nullify it as per Matt 5.
Even Revelation states twice that those who are protected are those who "keep the commands and have the faith of Yeshua". So apparently keeping the commandments is still a "thing" at that point in time which boggles my mind when people say that they are watching in anticipation for signs of Yeshua's return and yet don't read what the Word says about what will happen to those not keeping the commands. 😳
